Original story: 9/11/2015
107 people were killed and 238 injured when a crane collapsed at the Grand Mosque in Mecca. The collapse occurred less than two weeks before the Hajj pilgrimage. Saudi officials blamed the collapse on strong winds and heavy rains. Source: Al Jazeera: Saudi crane collapse kills 107 in Mecca Grand Mosque
Update: 7/12/16: Engineers & government employees face trial
Engineers and two government employees will face trial in the deaths of 107 people and over 400 injured in the crane collapse.The investigation was conducted in secrecy and many suspects were questioned. Court authorities are in the process of deciding the date of the hearings. An eight-month sanction against the contractor, Saudi Binladin Group, was just lifted in May. The Group can again pursue government projects. Source: Middle East Eye: Trials soon in deadly Saudi crane collapse: reports
Update: 7/12/16: Victims' families compensated
The Binladin Group is the family of Al-Qaeda's former leader Osama bin Laden. The family disowned Osama in the 1990s. The Saudi King ordered 1 million riyals ($267,000) be paid to the relatives of those killed. Those who were injured will receive half that amount. Source: Yahoo!

Update: 8/11/16: Trial begins

Update: 8/18/16: No foul play suspected
Saudi Arabia's Bureau of Investigation and Public Prosecution (BIP) has concluded that there was no criminal motive in the crane's collapse. The BIP also dismissed strong winds and thunderbolts as the main cause of the crash. They believe that the crane was positioned wrong which made it susceptible to high winds.

Everything Here is Beautiful
Mira T. Lee
Two sisters-Miranda, the older, responsible one, always her younger sister's protector; Lucia, the headstrong, unpredictable one, whose impulses are huge and, often, life changing. When their mother dies and Lucia starts hearing voices, it is Miranda who must find a way to reach her sister. But Lucia impetuously plows ahead, marrying a bighearted, older man only to leave him, suddenly, to have a baby with a young Latino immigrant. She moves her new family from the States to Ecuador and back again, but the bitter constant is that she is, in fact, mentally ill. Lucia lives life on a grand scale, until, inevitably, she crashes to earth. Miranda leaves her own self-contained life in Switzerland to rescue her sister again-but only Lucia can decide whether she wants to be saved. The bonds of sisterly devotion stretch across oceans-but what does it take to break them?

The Prague Sonata
Bradford Morrow
In the early days of the new millennium, pages of a worn and weathered original sonata manuscript—the gift of a Czech immigrant living out her final days in Queens—come into the hands of Meta Taverner, a young musicologist whose concert piano career was cut short by an injury. To Meta's eye, it appears to be an authentic eighteenth-century work; to her discerning ear, the music rendered there is commanding, hauntingly beautiful, clearly the undiscovered composition of a master. But there is no indication of who the composer might be. The gift comes with the request that Meta attempt to find the manuscript's true owner—a Prague friend the old woman has not heard from since the Second World War forced them apart—and to make the three-part sonata whole again. Leaving New York behind for the land of Dvořák and Kafka, Meta sets out on an unforgettable search to locate the remaining movements of the sonata and uncover a story that has influenced the course of many lives, even as it becomes clear that she isn't the only one after the music's secrets.

Red Clocks
Leni Zumas
In this ferociously imaginative novel, abortion is once again illegal in America, in-vitro fertilization is banned, and the Personhood Amendment grants rights of life, liberty, and property to every embryo. In a small Oregon fishing town, five very different women navigate these new barriers alongside age-old questions surrounding motherhood, identity, and freedom. Ro, a single high-school teacher, is trying to have a baby on her own, while also writing a biography of Eivør, a little-known 19th-century female polar explorer. Susan is a frustrated mother of two, trapped in a crumbling marriage. Mattie is the adopted daughter of doting parents and one of Ro's best students, who finds herself pregnant with nowhere to turn. And Gin is the gifted, forest-dwelling homeopath, or "mender," who brings all their fates together when she's arrested and put on trial in a frenzied modern-day witch hunt.

This Is Not a Valentine
Carter Higgins, illustrated by Lucy Ruth Cummins
This book is not a valentine. It doesn't have lacey edges or sugary hearts. But it is full of lucky rocks, secret hiding spots, and gumball machine treasures. This is a book about waiting in line and wishing for cinnamon buns. About recognizing that if you care so much about someone not thinking you care, maybe you really do. But wait—isn't that exactly what love is about? Maybe this book is sort of a valentine after all. A testament to handmade, wacky, bashful, honest love—sure to win over the hearts of all readers—this offering from debut picture book author Carter Higgins and children's book veteran Lucy Ruth Cummins is the perfect gift to celebrate every relationship, from parent to child, sibling to sibling, partner to partner, crush to crush.

One of FIFA's core pillars is to protect the integrity of the game. As mandated in its Statutes, FIFA's objectives include preventing any method, such as match manipulation or corruption, that might jeopardise the integrity of matches, competitions, players, officials or member associations or give rise to abuse of association football.
In recent years, match fixing has been a particularly high-profile cause for concern in the world of football; however, FIFA started to take significant steps towards ensuring the integrity of football worldwide as early as 2005. Having widened its scope from the early focus on monitoring FIFA's competitions on the international gambling markets to identifying potentially irregular betting activity, FIFA – along with its integrity partners – has been one of the leaders among sports governing bodies in addressing potential incidents of match manipulation.
Launched in 2012, the FIFA Integrity Initiative has embraced all 211 member associations and focuses on various aspects, including the five main areas of prevention, detection, intelligence-gathering, investigation and sanctions. The FIFA Integrity group was set up to analyse and investigate incidents as well as to assist member associations and confederations on request by establishing basic structures and processes for fighting match manipulation and corruption. This integrated approach aims to cover a range of areas — such as legal and disciplinary matters, betting monitoring, fraud detection and prevention — and involves reviewing policies and procedures, conducting analyses of threats and vulnerability and assessing the effectiveness of regulations and applicable legal frameworks against match manipulation at national and confederation level.
In 2016, FIFA outlined certain measures in the mission-defining document "FIFA 2.0: The Vision for the Future" to strengthen its resolve to protect the integrity of the game and to fight match manipulation by including recommendations to empower all associations to implement good governance and integrity programmes. FIFA continues to involve all of its member associations and the confederations as part of its network prevention and education programmes, as well as to encourage integrity-related cooperation with other international sports federations and stakeholders such as betting monitoring companies and gambling operators.
In February 2017, FIFA has decided to strengthen the global football integrity programme by entering an agreement with Sportradar. Sportradar is responsible for monitoring the various FIFA tournaments, including the FIFA World CupTM and its qualifiers, the FIFA Confederations CupTM, all FIFA youth competitions and the Olympic soccer tournaments. Consequently, under this agreement FIFA will be provided with a full suite of monitoring, education and intelligence services to further strengthen the integrity of football around the globe.
Furthermore, as an organisation, FIFA has streamlined and optimised its internal structures by creating a new Integrity Department within the Legal & Integrity Division, still closely aligning its core match-integrity mission with the independent Ethics Committee and the independent Disciplinary Committee.
The focus in 2018 and beyond will be on building a global integrity initiative helping confederations and member associations to gain the necessary knowledge and capabilities to fight match manipulation at national level and to support the implementation of a range of preventive measures as well as to adopt long-term, sustainable approaches on ethics and integrity matters, including match manipulation. In addition, FIFA is providing a dedicated reporting platform, BKMS, to individuals in order to report any form or knowledge of potential match manipulation or corruption. BKMS is an online platform for the confidential reporting of potential wrongdoing that allows anyone with a suspicion of match manipulation, among other potential infringements, to report it. Reports can be submitted anonymously. This reporting mechanism is a specially secured communication platform and is administered by an external provider that specialises in secure and confidential handling of sensitive information.
All information received via the reporting mechanisms will be handled promptly and treated with the strictest confidentiality under the applicable laws and regulations.

Seminar Presentation: The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari
In the first half of Monday's lecture by Jason, we discussed greatly in depth how all of the artistic decisions, even those that seem rather insignificant or minute, in the film The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari greatly influence everything about how we, the audience, perceive the storyline. The sets and exaggerated movements of the silent actors in […]

While reading the Earthquake in Chile I was constantly hoping for the best when it came to Jeronimo and Josefa and the life they planned on having together.

Semper Fidelis
Semper Fi. Enough said.
Painting Process
The clayboard was first painted with alternating stripes of scarlet and gold and then the underpainting was created with various colors of gouache. The eagle, globe, and anchor were finely detailed with dark brown enamel, as was the ripped banner that reads "Semper Fidelis" (the U.S. Marine Corps motto meaning Always Faithful).
Paper Prints
The 10 x 8 and 18 x 12 Semper Fidelis prints are produced with archival ink on glossy paper and are perfect for those of you who prefer to frame your art.
Canvas Prints
The ready-to-hang Semper Fidelis canvas prints are produced with archival ink on museum-grade, gallery-wrapped canvas and extend 1.25 inches off the wall, so there's no need for a frame. There are several sizes available and each limited-edition giclee is signed and numbered out of only 40 Artist Proofs.

Ralph Gean (#24): Gallant Ralph Gean.
Ralph Gean holding my recently-acquired copy of Ralph's 45 on Gallant Records from the early 1960s: "Hey Doctor Casey/One Night In San Antonio." It's still auditorily medicinal to hear Ralph playing his song about the old-time TV physician. Tickles the funny bones in the ear, in fact.

The home performance contractor came by this morning. First he walked around the inside of our house, and looked in all the rooms, nooks and crannys. He pointed out a few things that should be fixed such as a small drain pipe that comes out of an outside wall that is open and tilts slightly upward (it goes to the garage floor drain). He recommended attaching a small elbow piece pointing downward to keep water out. He also suggested caulking a bunch of seams in the garage that would let air into the walls, and into the house (along with some carbon monoxide from the cars). Next he came back and took pictures of some different areas with a small digital camera. I noticed he mostly took pictures in some spots where the insulation was exposed. Next he hooked up the blower door on the door from our garage to our utility room.
We walked around, and he held a small smoke wand around seams, and showed me where outside air was leaking into the house. I knew some of the places and was surprised by many others. I was surprised that our fireplace leaked almost no air. So I bought the DraftStopper fireplace plug, and probably didn't really need it. Here he shows air leaking where drywall meets one of the beams.
He pointed out some windows that had leaky seals. As I thought, our house was leaking air like a sieve. He packed up his stuff. He then went outside to measure the house. Then he was done.
I should hear from the energy consultant in the next couple weeks. I am looking forward to seeing the Comprehensive Home Assessment Report with all the recommendations, costs, and paybacks periods.

DHAKA: BNP has chalked out two-day programmes to observe the 83rd birth anniversary of its founder Ziaur Rahman in a befitting manner.
BNP senior joint secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi announced the programmes at a press conference at the party's central office in Nayapaltan area on Thursday (Jan 17).
The programmes include placing wreaths and offering fateha at Zia's grave, holding discussions and rallies.
Ziaur Rahman, born at Bagbari in Bogra on January 19 in 1936, founded the party in 1978. He is the 7th president of Bangladesh.
Rizvi said as part of the programmes, the party will hold a discussion at the Supreme Court Bar Association Auditorium in the city on Friday (Jan 18) to mark the birthday.
Apart from this, party flag will be hoisted atop all BNP offices across the country on Saturday (Jan 19).
As BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia has remained confined in the jail, senior party leaders along with leaders-activists of associate bodies will place wreaths at Zia's grave on Saturday in observance of the birth anniversary, he added.
BNP's associate bodies, different city, district, upazila and thana units of BNP will also organise various programmes to celebrate the day.
In his written speech, Rizvi said BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia could not able to appear before the court on Wednesday (Jan 16) due to her illness. It was unprecedented that she was kept in the prison in an unhealthy environment.
"There is no doubt that it is being done to fulfill the personal revenge of someone. The prison authorities did not pay heed to the petitions from her family and party for her better treatment. Without completion of treatment, she was sent back to the prison from hospital", the BNP leader alleges.

A FORMER worker at a Midland private school wept in court after avoiding jail for stealing thousands of pounds of money from pupils' parents.
Celia Payne stole almost £30,000 from St Martin's School, in Brueton Avenue, Solihull, and "must have just frittered the money away," Coventry Crown Court heard.
Payne, now of Bratton Clovelly, Devon, who had brought suitcases with her to court believing she would be jailed, was given 12 months imprisonment, suspended for two years.
She was ordered to pay £500 in costs and carry out 200 hours of unpaid work.
She was also made subject of a 12-month supervision order.
She refused to comment on her sentence when leaving court.
The 54-year-old had previously admitted one count of theft, but had insisted she had stolen only £15,000, not the £33,858 originally claimed by prosecutors.
As Payne had contested the sum lawyers were forced to hold a two-day Newton Hearing in January 2008 to establish exactly how much cash she had stolen.
Payne finally accepted she had in fact stolen £29,274.
Giving Payne a suspended jail sentence, Recorder Pal Sanghera said: "You knew the extent of your offending and the actions you took.
''To resort to a Newton Hearing was nothing more than a cynical attempt to see if the school could prove the amount you stole was higher than you claimed.
The court heard how Payne, formerly of Solihull, stole the money between September 2004 and July 2006.
Nigel Stelling, prosecuting, said: "She was able to disguise the thefts in a number of ways, either by issuing false credit notes when parents had, in fact, paid her cash for school fees, or by moving money between pupils' accounts and issuing credit notes against them.
"It was a scheme that was bound to be discovered at some point."
He said the theft only came to light when Payne quit her job as assistant bursar in the summer of 2006 to pursue a new life in Cornwall.
The new assistant bursar spotted discrepancies in accounts.
Kirsty Real, defending, said: "She's still at a loss to explain why she did this.
"Her husband was making payments for the larger household expenses and for holidays, they didn't need the money. She must have just frittered the money away."
She said Payne had so far paid £15,000 back to the school. A civil judgement earlier this year ruled that Payne must also pay a further £26,000 to the school to cover both the money she stole and the costs the school has incurred.
Ms Real said £16,000 would be paid by Payne on Monday from cash raised through selling a house she had renovated with her husband in Devon.

I read this as part of the MacHalo group's little Halloween buddy smut challenge.
Some buses are sentient in the Tinglerverse. Vlad is one of these buses and is technically Bus 13.
"These living vehicles are rare but not unheard of, and my scoffing at one could be seen by some as racially insensitive."
But there is something a little extra-different about Bus 13. Not only is it a "living bus," but… dun dun dunnnn!!!!
It's a vampire bus.
Our hero, Rick, of course ends up on Vlad (in more ways than one!) and he is your typical vampire bus: Eastern European accent, "incredibly handsome in a dark and brooding kind of way," with a "muscular chest" and abs.
Vlad "takes the long route" and they go for a scenic drive, where Rick gets a woody because he can't resist "the strange charisma of this handsome city vehicle."
Vlad takes him back to his castle where he proceeds to make all of his "darkest fantasies come true."
Guess what Vlad drinks instead of blood? Guess…
So, Vlad's peen is inside the bus. Of course, this is another "gay for you" story with Rick never having been with another man before Vlad.
Can't you imagine the accent as Vlad says: "How do you like that vampire bus c**k?"
"Oh my dark lord of the night!" Rick says. LOL
The ending is great! Rick is afraid Vlad is going to make him a bat, and he doesn't. He makes him a living bus instead! hahaha
That wraps up this short little Freaky Friday edition. I never get tired of Tingle's "living object" stories. hehe. Until next time, stay freaky.

Well, if you observe them closely, you will notice that with or without makeup on their faces, they always have the eyebrows well groomed. Your eyebrows can actually make or break your look.
So here's how to redefine them perfectly.

Don't forget to bring a warm coat
[Update: The stream is over, but you can watch it here.]
It looks like things are going to get icy around here, as I attempt to go through RosenkreuzStilette's sequel, RosenkreuzStilette Freudenstachel. Compare to its predecessor, [erka:es] made some changes the title's Megaman-like elements.
One major change is that we're playing as Freudia, the first game's ice-themed R.K.S. member. Of course, this magic user lacks the ability to charge her spells, so I'll have to change the way how I approach each level. At least her icicles are fast and cost effective.
Just like the previous game, I was able to buy it on DLsite; however, the game's text will remain in its native form since a fan translation for Freudenstachel doesn't exist yet. Assuming that this title is more challenging than the previous one, I might experience a severe case of frostbite before I make everyone chill.

Russian brides
One of the possibilities to find the happiness and love, to create a good family is an international marriage.
Nowadays it's difficult to find a happiness in love – a lot of women prefer freedom and free partnership instead social duty of being a wife and a mother.
But Russian women keep as a holly thing – a family. Self-realization in being a good wife and mother is one of the basic features of Slavonic women's mentality. There are no financial, mental and emotional competitions in families between men and Russian brides. A family is a close partnership for both, but not only living together and growing children, also real union of two souls. Pare without such elusive and enigmatic union of souls – is believed in Russia as unhappy marriage.
Russian brides are clever. A majority of them are well educated, have professional success and made career. They can talk about literature, different styles of music and art, scientific and technological news and much more themes. Nevertheless they also know how to keep a house, teach children and help to the husband.
Sophisticated soft beauty and elegance of the Russian brides make them the most popular in the world. A lot of international weddings take place every year.

Meeting called on democracy in Portishead
PUBLISHED: 16:00 05 November 2018
A meeting to debate how to improve the fractious relationship between the people of Portishead and its town council will be held this week.
A parish meeting will take place at the Folk Hall, in High Street, tomorrow (Tuesday) at 7.30pm.
The meeting was called at the last full meeting of the town council on October 10 following public demand.
Tensions between Portishead Town Council and members of the public have been brewing for years, and the rift has worsened in recent months with some labelling the authority undemocratic.
The town council dismisses those claims, but members of the public are particularly concerned by the authority's decision to change its standing orders at meetings.
Alterations to the rules have meant the public can only raise issues which are on the agenda of a given meeting, rather than being able to speak on any subject during the public participation forum.
The agenda for the meeting is available on the town council's website.

Kitchen Sink Base Cabinets With Drawers - It's time to take a fresh look in the home layout and consider the kitchen cabinet pantry. There was a time when every house was constructed with a sizable pantry off the kitchen. In several dwellings that are average, the pantry was the extent of a small to mid-sized room. From the average American house, the pantry vanished through the years. At about precisely the same time, people migrated from rural areas to the suburbs. The migration, greater than a change of address, brought a reversal of lifestyle.
People did not have space in the suburbs to maintain vegetable gardens or little family orchards. They ceased growing and canning or freezing vegetables and their fruits. Additionally they ceased making jams and their jellies. There is no time for canning and freezing, when Mother began working outside your home. Actually, there was far less time.
Trends in kitchen inclinations and house layout led to major appliances that were bigger, smaller kitchens and also a smaller amount of cupboards. The kitchen began to regain its status as the middle of family life as individuals became invested in preparing meals.
Although designers began to design kitchens that are bigger with space for top-of-the-line appliances, they did not include a kitchen cabinet pantry. Folks today are busier than ever before, doing shopping yet another time consuming chore. Because many individuals need to search just weekly (instead of daily), it appears the time has come to look at the kitchen cabinet pantry. The kitchen cabinet pantry can be acquired in a variety of styles, sizes, woods and shapes.

Way back in January of this year I began looking at my options for an overseas trip in November. It was always going to be about photography. I had a fairly decent mid-range SLR when I saw the Pentax K1 Mark II body had hit the stores internationally. As soon as I saw it was available in Australia, I pre-ordered (I even got it about $1,000 cheaper than the list price through a reputable supplier!). Soon after, I replaced my Tamron 10-24mm wide angle (made for APS-C sensors) with a Pentax 15-30mm wide angle (for full frame). I also packed the Sigma 35mm 1.4 Art lens and a cheap, but reliable Sigma 70-300mm lens. All up, the weight was around 5-6kg not including the tripod. On the trek I would carry two lenses only in my old camera case that I strapped onto my pack, with the other packed in with the porters.
Although this is a photography site, I feel compelled to add some travel insights as this trip was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for me.
Our guides were outstanding! Our lead guide, Lhakpa, is experienced and most amenable. The secondary guides, Lakpa and Pemba were equally as knowledgable and offered their own insights along our journey. The porters were incredible in their tenacity. While I didn't really get to know them, their strength and will was obvious, all while smiling and laughing.
Day Zero – Introductions
I'd booked the Khopra Danda Trek through KimKim.com. They are a global company that use local companies around the world. The local trekking company they use is Nepal Myths and Mountain Trails. We really did get lucky – NMMT are highly professional and incredibly friendly.
Our briefing for the trek was held at a hotel that two of the group were staying at. Even though we were all from different locales (3 Australian, 3 American), we hit it off quite well. There was Rich (who I was to share rooms with throughout the trek), Gary and Vicktoria (a couple who had had bad luck the last time they attempted this trek, getting snowed in at Ghorepani), Geoff and Evan (uncle and nephew) and me.
Once all the introductions and briefings were done, I walked back to Thamel with Gary and Vicktoria for a meal at a recent favourite restaurant of theirs. Gary contracted some kind of stomach bug from his meal, which impacted his strength and bowels for a few days to come.
Day One – The Beginning
Nayapul – Hile (pron. Hilly)
Distance: 9.5km — Climb: 540m
We had an early start at 5:30am. I arrived at the meeting point closer to 5am, where Lhakpa was already waiting. We were chatting away when a couple of transvestites crossed the street to introduce themselves. One of them wanted to give me a hug and more – which was all a ruse to get into my… camera bag. I noticed later that one of the zips was undone – I think they were expecting to find money. One of them was quite insistent and had to be pushed away firmly.
Lhakpa asked afterwards if I knew what they were – I did (the deep voices across the street gave them away!), but I like to give people the benefit of the doubt. Thankfully, no harm was done, and it provided a good ice-breaker on the way to our flight!
The flight was great. It was a small plane, but Lhakpa had secured us all window seats with the mountain views! This was a sign of the company's influence with the local operators.
As soon as we landed and collected our luggage, we were straight onto a bus to our starting point at Nayapul. The main road to Nayapul, and through to Tatopani and Mustang, is being upgraded and widened by hand, which made our ride rough and slow.
From Nayapul, the trek began in earnest. Over 4 hours, with nearly 1.5 of those stopped for lunch, we walked a rough dirt road that serviced the local villages through beautiful rural settings.
Day Two – Stairs, Stairs and More Stairs
Hile – Ghorepani
Distance: 14km — Climb: 1500m
Leaving the road behind, we started the day with the news that there were 3,400 steps to our lunch stop. The local stone is shale/slate and splits nicely into small, even slabs. Not only were the stairs constructed from this material, all the buildings were made of the stuff.
Being the "road" to Ghorepani and, by extension, Poon Hill, we were never alone in our group for very long. Our guide, Lhakpa, set a steady, slow pace which I discovered we could keep up all day long. We played leapfrog with a bunch of other groups, who took off up the stairs only to stop for regular rest breaks.
After our lunch break, we climbed through rhododendron forests, which are native to Nepal.
Gary was still struggling with his illness, although he pulled his strength from somewhere and kept up the steady pace, never lagging far behind.
At the end of the day, we reached Ghorepani and were treated to a stunning sunset, painting the mountains burnt orange.
Day Three – Part One, Dawn
Poon Hill
Distance: 3km — Climb: 300m
Poon Hill is on a must-do list of Nepal, evidenced by the hundreds of people we saw the previous day and the crowds that slowly gathered before dawn at the summit. It is famous for one thing: a most spectacular sunrise over both the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri Ranges.
Judging by some of the comments we had heard, not every day is a good day. We had been extremely lucky with the weather. In fact, the forecast for the whole trip was for sunshine and warm temperatures. Obviously, the higher the altitude, the cooler the temperature, but that didn't deter us at all!
With a 4am wake up call, we rolled out of our warm beds and put on every piece of thermal clothing we had. I didn't feel that amazing – maybe it was the 3,000m altitude, or some dodgy food I had. Gary didn't rise for the walk, as he'd already been up a couple of times when they were snowed in previously.
About 10 minutes in, someone ahead of us let their stomach go on the stairs.
As I was setting up my beast of a camera and lens on the tripod ready for a time-lapse video, I realised I'd left my glasses back in the room! There was no way I was going back down, so I had to hope that Geoff's prescription was close enough to mine to get me set up. It wasn't perfect, but it was good enough that I could see the best focus on the digital zoom.
The result (which I couldn't see until my return home!) was incredible. I'd set the lens zoom all the way out to 15mm and opened up the aperture fully to 2.8. ISO was set to 800 and I left the shutter speed to auto to deal with the light, giving a range from 8s to 1/2500s over the course of the sunrise. The time interval between shots was 10 seconds.
There were clouds that clung to the rear of the peaks, leaving the peaks in full view while catching the full glory of the rising sun.
The beauty of taking shots at intervals is that every image is full resolution, unlike shooting a time-lapse video. I was able to lift any single frame to manipulate as a final image outside of the video.
Ultimately, I cropped the images to an effective 25mm, focussing solely on the Annapurnas. Although the later images I processed were at the 15mm crop.
Another benefit of shooting in Intervals, aside from making sure the frame is free of people's arms, is that I could sit back and enjoy the show, instead of burying my head in the viewfinder constantly. I just had to hope that the focus was right!
With the sun finally up, I clicked off some shots of the Dhaulagiri Range and the spectators, which is a keen interest of mine.
With the sun finally up, and all the selfies taken we, along with everyone else, made our way back down the hill for our waiting breakfast.
Day Three – Part Two, Hike
Ghorepani – Swanta
Distance: 6.5km — Climb: 160m – 700m down
Over breakfast we had to make some decisions, given that not only Gary, but Geoff didn't feel great, and neither did I. Gary and I took a tablet to combat diarrhoea – mine was only precautionary, but it did make me feel better. We decided to stop at our lunch spot, at Swanta, for the evening, rather than pushing on to Chistibang.
The first part of the hike was along the Annapurna Circuit, which runs from Kathmandu, around the back of the Annapurna Range, then back down towards Pokhara. Typically this trek takes three weeks and has now been added to my ever-growing list.
Our stop at the tea-house marked our exit from the paved trails. Gary was able to get some antibiotics from the local pharmacy for less than $10 and I bought a couple of apples (which I'd been sorely missing from my diet).
Now that we were off the tourist trail, we experienced true rural Nepal. We climbed over fences, walked on some sketchy tracks and through abandoned farms.
We reached Swanta around lunch-time. I need to talk about the menus on the tourist trails. The office of Tourism set some rules regarding the food served at the tea/guesthouses an effort to standardise menus. You will find the same menu, with the same pricing at almost every food-stop. However, even though the menu is the same, the food definitely is not. Every day, as we trekked further into Nepal, the food got better. What was considered a good meal yesterday was outclassed today.
Choices were curry, Dahl Bat (lentils and rice) or fried rice, each with veg, egg, chicken or buffalo options. It was good to rotate these as much as possible for variety, although when we looked at our fellow traveller's meal we recognised the increase in quality over our last choice. Also, don't touch the meat – refrigeration isn't really an option in the country. And, except on one occasion, the kitchens are behind closed doors.
Swanta is a lovely village. It was everything that we were looking for in Nepal. The whole area is made up of small farms, with the locals working the land in the traditional manner. One of the terraces was being ploughed by buffalo and rice and millet were being harvested by hand for drying.
The sad fact of rural living was evident here: there were very few young people. Families were split so that the children could attend schools 5 hours' walk from their homes. Opportunities are better in the cities, so many farms had been abandoned.
Day Four – Rest Day
Swanta – Chistibang
Distance: 9km — Climb: 880m
Good news on the illness front. Geoff woke up feeling much better and Gary was managing solid food. It seemed that we were all acclimatising and improving. That said, a decision was made not to go all the way to Khopra Danda in a single day – a full 1,200m of climbing. Lhakpa called ahead to book us in to Chistibang and cancel the night at Khopra Lodge. In hindsight, this was a good decision, as the lodge was overcrowded, with people sleeping in the dining area and in tents outside!
We departed Swanta at a leisurely 8am, with a nice gradual climb until we arrived at a confluence of a waterfall and a cascade with a new, small-scale power station installed. The power station supplies power to Khopra Lodge, which previously had no power at all.
After some photos, we began our slow ascent to Chistibang. By this stage we all had our minds on Kaire Lake and the days ahead.
Chistibang was quite basic, but the food was exceptional. After lunch, Lakpa took us to a local shepherd, where he kept sheep and goats. We did need to be careful, as there was a guard dog protecting the flock. Dogs are used to protect against wildlife such as tigers and leopards – something I hadn't considered at all!
In the afternoon, we discussed the day ahead. By now we were all feeling refreshed, considering the half-day's walk and the early finish the previous day. We decided that we would leave early, then push on to Kaire Lake. This was our goal, and even though none of us would be upset if we couldn't make it, we would surely try our best to get there. Rich wasn't sure he was up to the whole day, so he would take his time hiking up to the ridge with Pemba.
The owner of the lodge lives alone for most of the year. In fact, it was only because of the upcoming festival that his family was there helping out.
Day Five – Our goal
Chistibang – Kaire Lake – Khopra Danda
Distance: 24.5km — Climb: 1,850m
As we had planned, we were out the door and on the way by 6am with a full complement of thermals and torches.
We reached Khopra Lodge before 8am, where we had a quick cup of lemon, ginger and honey tea, before taking off again. We were unsure if Gary would make it all the way, so we split into two groups: Geoff, Evan and Me up front; Gary and Vicktoria would go at their own pace.
It was a long, steady and tiring day of constant climbing. By 11am we'd reached the last tea house – at 4,281m. As we were served our noodles for lunch, Gary, Vicktoria and Pemba appeared on the moraine. We were all together again, ready for the final push.
It was after lunch that the climbing began in earnest – 3km and another 400m of stairs. None of us were really affected by the altitude, thankfully. We steadily marched on and up. Lhakpa had pushed on ahead, giving him a quiet moment at the lake before we arrived.
Kaire Lake is a place of religious significance for both Hindu and Buddhists. It is said that bathing in the lake will raise you to the 13th level before reaching nirvana. I can tell you that the journey alone is enough to force some introspection. The water itself is generally frozen over, but this day there was only a small amount of ice.
Day Six – The Descent
Khopra Danda – Tatopani
Distance: 16km — Descent: 2,400m
Surprisingly, we all woke up refreshed after our long sleep. The decision was made to skip our next stop and go straight through to Tatopani. There was a hot spring there and it meant an early start on the bus so we could spend extra time in Pokhara (for those who weren't staying on).
The long descent was a test on our resolve and our knees. The porters, as usual, took it all in their stride!

As a merchant, you couldn't ask for more. LevelUp charges 0% for all payment processing and provides the LevelUp hardware free of charge. It also offers it in a white label format. It sounded edgy to me first time (late 2012) when Seth Prietasch said 'Instead of making money just for moving money, payment providers should add value above the transaction in ways that help businesses thrive and grow, such as customer acquisition and customer loyalty campaigns'. LevelUp makes revenue when merchants run campaigns to attract prospective customers and reward the loyal ones. For first-time purchases and reward spending, it takes a 40 percent cut.
The mobile wallet and POS solution space is choc-o-bloc with several players vying for space in the market. Though there are number of key players in the market including Google Wallet, Isis, Pay with Square and Paypal, no one company has been able to become the outright leader.
LevelUp, a subsidiary of SCVNGR, is a growing company in the mobile payment space with investment of $9 M in the second round of funding from T-Venture, the venture capital arm of Deutsche Telecom. Other investors included Google ventures, Highland capital and Balderton capital and LevelUp has raised a total of $41 M in capital so far. LevelUp offers a white label payment application, which allows the retailers, banks and processors a mobile wallet and payment platform.
How LevelUp works: 1) LevelUp app can be downloaded into any smart phone 2) A credit or a debit card can be linked to LevelUp to generate a unique code 3) Payment can be made by scanning the unique code.
You can also see the app in action, in the video below:
Source: levelup
LevelUp is accepted at 5000+ locations in the US and there are new locations that are getting added everyday. The founder Seth Preibatsch launched LevelUp with an intention to provide a service which was independent of the carrier or the card payment system. Currently the user base of LevelUp stands at 200k users across the U.S and the total spend at $2M per month.
What's unique about LevelUp is that it is backed by carriers who have their own mobile payment solutions. LevelUp uses T-Mobile's infrastructure & hardware and is invested in by Deutsche telekom. LevelUp is trying to reach out to the end consumer by an unique selling proposition: it has slashed the merchant interchange fee or the swipe fee to zero whereas the competitors charge anywhere between 2-3% for the same. It is still paying the credit card companies for accepting credit cards and is absorbing these costs. LevelUp hopes that this customer acquisition strategy will help it acquire customers quickly.
LevelUp has also upgraded it Point of Sale system to the Aloha POS system from NCR corporation. It hopes to make a difference by having its POS system integrated with the merchants. The merchants do not have to replace their whole POS system, they can use it alongside the regular credit card systems. Its POS system is a standalone device with its own QR code scanner. The merchant's POS is integrated with Levelup, so the 2D barcode scanner does not require a separate power source or an internet connection to work.
Another unique feature of Levelup is the Loyalty program using the rewards app. The rewards app lets customers quickly and easily pay while unlocking loyalty rewards. The more they pay the more loyalty rewards they accumulate and can be redeemed at the participating outlets.
LTP View: Levelup is an amazing start up that brings a mobile wallet for end customers, a POS for merchants and also a white labelled payment solution. Customers get reward/loyalty points in the form of credit points, merchants get everything for free but pay for campaigns. Like other wallet players LevelUp is also trying to capture a large pie of the proximity payments. It is competing against large players like Google Wallet and Paypal. It is trying to differentiate itself with its USP's such as zero transaction fees, no hardware cost, its integrated POS system and its Loyalty programs and thus trying to rapidly expand it user base. It remains to be seen if Levelup shines in the fragmented and increasingly heating up Mobile Wallet and POS market.

Women's Hoops Picked Sixth In Pac-10 Coaches' Poll
Oct. 15, 2004
SEATTLE, Wash. -- Washington's women's basketball team has been selected by the league's coaches to place sixth in the Pac-10 Conference standings, the Pac-10 announced today.
In 2003-04, the Huskies finished sixth in the Pac-10 with a 9-9 record in conference play. Washington finished 18-13 overall, and made its fourth straight postseason appearance, advancing to the second round of the WNIT.
Stanford, which returns 11 letterwinners and three starters from last season's Co-Pac-10 Champion squad, was tabbed to win the 2004-05 conference crown. Last year, Stanford shared the Pac-10 title with Arizona with an identical 14-4 league mark. The Cardinal captured the State Farm Pac-10 Tournament title and advanced to the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament.
Arizona was selected to finish second, while UCLA was picked to finish third. Stanford received eight first-place votes, while Arizona and UCLA each received one. Arizona State was chosen to finish fourth, while Oregon rounded out the Top-5 projected finishers. Washington, USC, California, Oregon State and Washington State were selected to finish in that order.
This is the fifth year in a row and the fifth time overall that Stanford has been favored by the coaches to win the Pac-10 title since the poll's inception in 1998-99.

"The development of technology appeared in our kitchens filling them with machines that are supposed to work for us and save us time and energy for a high quality final product; but a distance between us and the material has been creating. The physical contact is no longer part of our relation with food, we are losing the connection with the food material and its preparation.
I designed a set of tools that reduces the distance characterizing the current preparation of food, acting as a bridge between food and our hands, being supportive to the hand without overruling it."

Re: Ultra Fit USB 3.0: Excessive Heat
@electronicsguy: As mentioned earlier, the temperature was measured with Infrared Thermometer which has 1.5'C accuracy tolerance.
Re: Ultra Fit USB 3.0: Excessive Heat
"well one person doesn't mean anything." This statement also includes yourself Electronicsguy. Obviously there are lots of people that have Ultra Fits that are not functioning properly. I don't have a digital thermometer to measure mine but as I stated when writing or formatting I can only touch it for 2 sec so it must be at least around 70 deg. Also the write speeds fall below 23MB/s so this is not functioning properly and is defective. These all should be recalled if they are running above 45c. No wonder Sandisk drives are some of the cheapest drives on the market. The only flash cards & drives that I have ever had fail/problems with are Sandisk. Anything Lexar I have ever got have been flawless and I will to continue buy Lexar instead of Sandisk.
Re: Ultra Fit USB 3.0: Excessive Heat
yes ofcourse it does. but if there was a design fault, it would have been recalled. people are only complaining because its get much hotter than bigger (normal sized) usb drives. speeds fall and vary even with normal usb drives. that's not a fault by itself.
Re: Ultra Fit USB 3.0: Excessive Heat[ Edited ]
02-22-2016 06:31 PM - edited 02-22-2016 06:32 PM
Yes because manufactures are ALWAYS forthcoming when it comes to product recalls no matter how much money it cost them . How about VW diesel cars of today? If manufactures can get away by ignoring the problem and hope a government agency doesn't find them out they will.
Re: Ultra Fit USB 3.0: Excessive Heat
Yes and the only people who write on forums are ones with a complaint. the others don't write. Is there any specific problem you have with the ultrafit other than heat or varying speeds?
Re: Ultra Fit USB 3.0: Excessive Heat
@electronicsguy: I believe it is not true that only people who write in forum are the ones with complaint. Many others out there may have similar problem but there are many reasons why they do not write in forum, such as:
1. They feel their problem has been well represented by other posters, hence once there is solution from manufacturer, their faulty device will entitle for the solution too. Why post so many posts while they indeed the same subject?
2. They may not aware of where to complaint about their problem.
3. They would rather let go the $$$ rather than spend time to complaint.
4. They may not aware of the risks of the excessive heat generated by the device.
5. They may not aware of their rights as a customer, especially those in countries where customer rights protection is weak.
Re: Ultra Fit USB 3.0: Excessive Heat
Write speeds do not exceed 23MB/s, have tested using 2 different softwares. Any USB3.0 Lexar is capable of that. I'm just keeping this drive as a backup copy of my Lexar and keep on my keychain, that way I'm not really using it. In future I'll stick to Lexar or Patriot flash drives.
Re: Ultra Fit USB 3.0: Excessive Heat[ Edited ]
02-23-2016 06:38 PM - edited 02-23-2016 06:48 PM
I'm afraid your argument doesn't hold water. Look at the specs from the manufacturers and compare apples to apples. Lets take the Lexar small profile USB 3.0 as you claim. This is the official page: lexar
You can clearly see:
16GB in orange (up to 150MB/s read, 20MB/s write)
So what exactly are you complaining about when you're getting 23M/s write speeds? (Also remember the 23MB/s you measured is real world speed and the speeds quoted above ar "ideal" speeds which are not necessarily achieved)
Now if you compare this speed to lets say the large profile lexar one (like jumpdrive p20) which has write speeds of 80MB/s or more, then it's not a correct comparison since that one is a large profile (hence more heat loss, so can be run at higher speeds, more channels on board, etc). But I don't see what exactly you're tearing your hair about for a small profile USB drive with similar speeds as the competitor.
Re: Ultra Fit USB 3.0: Excessive Heat
@electronicsguy: wouldn't it be more suitable to compare with Lexar S45 (http://www.lexar.com/jumpdrives45?category=207) instead of S73 which is of bigger profile?
Re: Ultra Fit USB 3.0: Excessive Heat
ok. compare with that. similar speeds (all theoretical there, practical will be lower. in any case range is from 20-45 MB/s)

.Hello folks! Here's another crazy idea from me. In the Windows and Mac world there is this app called MusicReader that has some interesting features listed, that would make reading pdf sheet music, and sheet music in general, a lot easier on the performing/practicing musician. Basically it has built in metronome, media player and an option for handsfree scrolling of pages. So I was thinking, is it possible to implement a programmable turning of pages in some pdf viewer, in a manner like it is in Impress/PowerPoint software?
I see there is such option in Adobe Acrobat Pro. Is there an alternative to it in Linux? So far I've been using just the basic document viewer.
EDIT No.2: I think I might have found it. It's called Scribus.

Scribus is a full-blown print layout editor. You just want a PDF reader like Okular. You can add a USB footswitch to change pages.

This session was just for fun – and was so crowded, I had to wait in line and sit on the floor. Sadly, I didn't even try to get into the mad crush for free signed copies of Harry Potter #1 (new edition with Brian's cover). I'd just shipped my loot that morning, anyway.
Brian Selznick came to Harry Potter late – only a few years ago. (Of course he loved it.) When he was asked to create new covers, he meant to say no, but was willing to project curiosity.
He ended up deciding to make it so all 7 covers would line up to make one single image.
He wanted something to draw all 7 covers together, and his initial sketch had a looping line. Of course! It looked like a snake!
The most important part for him was the relationship between characters and the battle between good and evil.
He pointed out some details in his work. To him, Umbridge is the very most terrifying villain.
Harry Potter fans are activists.
Can you do anything to stop people loving Harry Potter? No.
Here are the covers, photographed on posters in the Convention Center:
