Hello, blogging friends! The holidays are over, but my tree and decorations are still up. It's not because I want Christmas to stick around a little longer. It's because we've been super lazy. I did manage to go to the gym for the first time this year so that's got to count for something. Anyway, I will recap you on my personal life soon enough. Until then, let's get 2011 started off with The Talk of Tinseltown.
Over the holiday break, Russell Brand posted a picture on Twitter of Katy Perry sans makeup. It was taken down shortly after, but it was too late. Here it is if anyone cares. I may have giggled a little when I first saw it.
Rachel Weisz and Daniel Craig, who just worked together on a film, are reportedly an item after they were photographed holding hands on Christmas Day. I think they make a cute couple. Don't you?
Shania Twain married Frederic Thiebaud in Puerto Rico on New Year's Day at a private mansion. Oddly enough, Shania's first husband allegedly left her for this guy's wife who just happened to be Shania's best friend at the time. So, yes, they basically swapped spouses. This is weird, right?
TMZ reports David Arquette, who recently admitted to Howard Stern that he had been 'drinking a lot' since separating from wife Courteney Cox, checked into rehab over the holiday weekend. Courteney told People, "I really admire David and his choice to take charge and better his life." Get well, David.
John Cougar Mellencamp is splitting from his wife of 20 years, model Elaine Mellencamp. There's a small rumor stirring that he's already finding comfort in the arms of Meg Ryan. Yet another story that made me giggle...
Alanis Morissette and husband Mario Treadway had a baby boy on Christmas day. They named him Ever Imre Morissette-Treadway. Morissette, 36, married rapper Treadway, 30, earlier this year at their Los Angeles home. Congrats to both!
Sir Elton John and David Furnish also got a very special gift on Christmas Day. Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John was born in California via a surrogate. Zachary weighed 7 pounds, 15 ounces. I like the names they chose, but why so many?
After almost a year together, Rihanna and baseball player Matt Kemp have called it quits. Breakup songs are always better than love songs anyway.
PETA has named Bill Clinton its Person of the Year after the ex-president gave up his Big Macs and became a vegan. Clinton, a former fast foot junkie, turned to plants this year when his daughter asked him to get in shape for her wedding. After forgoing animal products, Clinton lost 24 pounds.
The Talk of Tinseltown was brought to you today by...

The family of an Ohio woman who died in an Ohio jail almost a year ago filed a federal lawsuit this week, NBC News reported.
Ralkina Jones, 37, was found dead in a jail cell on July 26. She was arrested two days earlier by Cleveland Heights Police Department after having a fight with her ex-husband outside a bar.
The lawsuit — filed by Jones' sister — against the city of Cleveland Heights, the police department and others, alleges police failed to check on her and properly provide her medication.
U.S. & World
The medical examiner ruled Jones' death accidental.
According to the suit, Jones was over-medicated and went six hours without being checked on. Jones was taking five medications, according to jail records. No dollar amount was named in the suit.

Anime Expo 2015 HD Movie Torrent Now Up
Well, it's been awhile coming, but I now have torrent, hosted by Nyaa, of all the Anime Expo 2015 movies that were recorded for those who like their files on their computer in HD. It should be noted that the Midnight Shinigami concert and Myth - Legends of Burlesque and Magic were encoded in x265, so you'll need a player capable of that. VLC can do this job with the right plugin, for example. You can get it by clicking this link here. Enjoy!
Anime Expo 2015 Report Now Up
So, somehow or another I managed to compile this report of Anime Expo 2015. I honestly wish it'd had been nothing but fun fun fun, and that I could relegate to you the awsomeness that I was part of, but I can't really do that this time around. That being said, there WAS fun, and it was damn good fun. Still, there was some shit that went down behind the scenes of this one, and if you want to know, click on that link up there to check it out. As for me, I still need to get those torrents up. Enjoy!
Anime Expo 2015 Report
I find it to be a most interesting feeling to know when I'm almost done with something. I can't really describe it to anyone, but a sinking anticipation is the best I can give. Like a countdown to something unknowable that you cannot stop...and at some point, you're not even sure you want to. Anime Expo is rapidly reaching the point where it may have to be put paid, or it may have already reached that point...the next few months will tell me that. I get ahead of myself, however.
As it has been the past few years, and for the next five years at least (since they've signed a new contract with the venue), Anime Expo has taken place at the Los Angeles Convention Center and surrounding venues. This year it played host to over 90,000 attendees, which is an unreal amount of people, and one I truly believe if trying to get through its dealer's hall was any indication of those numbers. I'm reminded a great deal of the final couple of years I went to Comic Con, what I experienced there, and how it felt. Very much like now, to be honest. Up to and including the way you could almost not even move in some places there were so many.
Anime Expo 2015 Fakku Panels and Midnight Shinigami Concert Up On Vimeo
Well, it's taken some doing...a lot more than I would have imagined, but if the tech didn't look so good, I'd probably not have bothered. That being said, for all you streaming video lovers, we have the FAKKU Presents: Bosshi and Toshio Maeda Q&A Panel, the FAKKU Presents: Hentai Manga & Doujinshi, and the Midnight Shinigami concert from Anime Expo 2015. From the FAKKU panel, Bosshi is a fine H manga artist who drew such fun little stories like Peachy Butt Girls and Onee 30 and Toshio Maeda, a truly funny and irreverant dude, who created such classics as Urotsukidouji and La Blue Girl. I highly recommend that one. And for FAKKU's upcoming projects you can check out their Hentai Manga and Doujinshi panel; there's some surprising stuff in there, and if you're interested in FAKKU's business, there you'll find more. Viewer discretion is very much advised for obvious reasons. Finally, we have Midnight Shinigami, an anime cover band that's been a pretty common appearance at AX and other venues over the years, and always very good. Also the first victim of my new x265 video encoding...personally, I think that went pretty well. Click Read More, and you can view them all. Enjoy!
24th Annual Anime Expo Breaks Attendance Records
Los Angeles, CA, July 6, 2015 – The just-concluded 24th Annual Anime Expo (AX), presented by The Society for the Promotion of Japanese Animation (SPJA), played host to over 90,500 lovers of Japanese animation and pop culture, July 2-5, 2015, at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Sneaking up in attendance right behind Comic-Con, this year's show marked the biggest presentation in its history, taking every inch of the Los Angeles Convention Center for the first time.
Myth: Legends of Burlesque and Magic 2015 Movie Up On Vimeo
Finally getting some of these movies encoded. I'll need to upgrade big time when I get a 4K camera. In any event, check out this year's Myth: Legends of Burlesque and Magic; performed at Anime Expo. For the third year it came, and for the second year was its own Main Event, and a well deserved designation it is. Don't know that I've ever seen anything gain popularity quite so fast or so deservedly as this show. But why take my word for it, when you can click 'Read More' and see it for yourself on our Vimeo channel? For those of you that like your really high quality digital copies of videos on your hard drives, don't worry...as soon as I get all this year's videos encoded, I'll do what I've done for the past few years, and load them all up as one big batch. Until then...enjoy!

Perkins Prima Engine Conversion.
I started making Prima conversions when I needed an alternative to the original petrol engine in my Land Rover. The first conversions used an aluminium casting to join the engine and gearbox and the flywheel and starter motor from a LDV van to complete the drive train. The mark II conversion uses Land Rover flywheel and starter, which are much easier to obtain, but I can still make MK I conversions.
Lot's of these conversions have been done and I think the majority of owners are happy with them, the characteristics are not that unlike the petrol engine, but at close to half the fuel consumption! The Prima engine's power output of around 80 BHP and 115 lbf ft-1 of torque, so it's marginally more powerful than a Land Rover 4 cylinder engine. The engine is free revving and it works with the standard Land Rover gearing. Series Land Rovers with their original engine's are far from economical to run[unless your other car is a Dodge Charger], the Prima is quite efficient even by today's standards and can return double the mpg that the series 4 cylinder petrol engine did; Someone did comment he was getting over 3x the miles, he replaced a pretty bad 4cyl petrol.
This Engine conversion doesn't require any modifications to the Land Rover bulkhead or chassis. The engine mounts bolt to the Prima block and to the Land Rover Chassis mounts. The Engine Adapter plate is designed to bolt to the Prima engine and the Land Rover bellhousing. People have told me they carried out the conversion in a day, but generally it takes a few days. Once the engine is bolted in place a few modifications are required to the original original Land Rover systems to connect them to the Prima engine. If you can replace an engine you can probably carry out an engine conversion.
The drive-ability and reliability with a converted vehicle should be excellent. I drive a Prima Powered Land Rover as an everyday car, the Montego engine has improved fuel consumption and performance considerably.
A good source of information is yojimbo's prima conversion forum, www.yojimbo.org.ukand Wittsend's pages about his Land Rover conversion are also quite good nhua.co.uk.

Another Friday, another installment of Take Five! And, oh yeah, it's officially autumn. Here's what the Kinks have to say about that:
As I wrote in a previous post, upon seeing that both John Shade and the Acorn (sorry, Basia Bulat) were going to be sharing a bill at TT the Bear's, I was determined to overcome my early bedtime ways and get out to the show. I even brought my friend Chris.
John Shade's album "All You Love is Need" is a real delight, and his live performance is no different. He has an endearingly awkward stage presence in between songs, but when he sings, he commands the room. His songs rang true — they seem to come from a genuine place without guile or malice.
Now, I'd heard a few songs by the Acorn, enough to intrigue me to come out to the show. I knew I would enjoy these Ottawa boys, but what I didn't expect was to be blown away. Their performance of "Crooked Legs" completely drowned out the thumping bass seeping through the floor from the Middle East Downstairs and filled the room with electricity. My ear is untrained in this respect, but I swore I could hear the stomping French-Canadian influences infiltrating their melodies. The Acorn's songs are epic and enthralling; they are a tight, tight group. I'm really, really glad I manned up and went to this show. Oh, and my friend Chris? Couldn't stop talking about how awesome the show was. Rightfully so.
- I don't recall if it was Ryan's Smashing Life or Boston Accents on WFNX where I got tipped off to This Blue Heaven. But either way, after hearing the power pop delight that is "Nova Love," I had to buy their EP. They're part of the lineup for the Oct. 2 Mixtape show, which this time around trains the performers' talents on the songs of 1967. Sadly, I am out of town that weekend. But they ARE also playing Tommy Doyle's in Harvard Square TONIGHT, so you should go. Hear and buy their EP:
- Speaking of Boston Accents, Dave played this old gem the other night — Digney Fignus' "The Girl With The Curious Hand."
- Hooray Music Choice's Classic Alternative, my favorite cable channel! Thanks to Music Choice, I rediscovered three awesome songs, which I proceeded to download on iTunes: Wang Chung's "Dance Hall Days," Oingo Boingo's "Dead Man's Party" and Peter Murphy's "Cuts You Up." The 80s were awesome.
- Who said haphazard clicking didn't pay off? I clicked on a random link via Twitter about Elvis Costello that took me to the CBC Radio 3site, and I ended up hearing Said the Whale's pop gem "Gentleman." What a fun discovery — upbeat indie pop from Vancouver.
- Cloud Cult released a video for "Running With The Wolves," a song from their new albums "Light Chasers."
- Some neat thoughts on playlists by debcha. Do you live and die by playlists, or do you shuffle your way through life? If the former, what are some of the playlists you've been enjoying lately?
- Dave introduced me to the wonders of the Fake Craig Finn Twitter account. A sampling: "She said, 'Don't call until you put yourself together' / But lots of the pieces are still at her place"
- Girl Talk and GIFs collide.
- I had the pleasure of meeting Jessica from the New Music Collaborative at the John Shade/The Acorn show on Tuesday night.She is compiling a mixtape of Boston bands and is in search of artists to include, designers to help with a cover and any other input.
- Spotify Poetry: poems or stories written entirely using song titles as displayed via Spotify.
- Matt Dyson and debcha take a closer look at the National's "Fake Empire."
- Andy revels in the listastic glory of Liz's 1001 Albums project.
- Jonathan Woolson tipped me off to a couple of fan videos for XKCD's take on the Discovery Channel's "Boomdeyada" video. Here's the punk version:
- Amie Street, one of my favorite sources for digital music, recently announced their buyout by Amazon.com, spelling the end of their demand-based pricing model that enabled attentive, in-the-know buyers to snatch up great music at low prices. I love Amazon MP3 as a service, but I am sad to see Amie Street go. I think their model was an important option in the digital music marketplace.
- Here's a dream tour: Brendan Benson/Posies/Aqueduct. They come to Boston Nov. 16.
- The next event by the Boston Societies of Spontaneity (SOS) is a reprisal of their MP3 EXP, where people are invited to download a song, gather in a large public space and hit play at the exact (and for the first) time. The event takes place at 3:30PM on Oct. 10, location TBA.
- Jack White, hipster producer of choice for the female country legends, has produced the upcoming album by Wanda Jackson, "The Party Ain't Over," due out Jan. 25. Wanda Jackson is pretty badass, and White did a great job with Loretta Lynn's "Van Lear Rose," so this should be good.
- The next Boston Music Hack Day is Oct. 16-17. Hackers conceptualize and build out the projects (from applications and devices) that could shape the future of music. I'll be in attendance for the hack demos on the 17th and will report back here.
- I recently stumbled across RootMusic's Bandpage, a service that offers bands a better way to create Facebook fan pages. It's not bad. The only thing that's kept Myspace holding on is what it offers musicians. Looks like between Bandpage, Bandcamp and whatever comes next down the pike, that grip may loosening.
- New release news for two Johns (though not They Might Be Giants): 1) John Wesley Harding has a new collection of acoustic demos out, "John Wesley Harding Sings to a Small Guitar Vol II." 2) John Vanderslice, nice guy that he is, released a free digital EP, "Green Grow the Rushes."
The other day, I was thinking about the music I listened to in high school. I really started coming into my musical own around 1995 (which, coincidentally, is when I started coming into my own in general). My childhood love of R.E.M. would be the foundation of a (t0 date) lifelong fixation on modern rock. But as of 1995, I was still dependent on what MTV, VH1 and commercial radio fed me (granted, back then they were pretty damned good — Jen Trynin's "Better Than Nothing" even made it to the airwaves in South Florida and was one of my favorite songs).
I was an avid Columbia House customer, and one of the purchases I made was the 1993 No Alternative compilation, created by the Red Hot organization to raise money to fight AIDS. The songs on this collection just blew me away, and looking back, I realize how much that album really laid the groundwork for my future musical explorations. It featured my first exposure to Bob Mould, Mark Eitzel, Uncle Tupelo, Jonathan Richman and Buffalo Tom, artists that are now (or spun off artists that are now) mainstays of my catalogue. It showed me a Breeders beyond "Cannonball" and a Nirvana beyond "Smells Like Teen Spirit." It introduced me to artists like Barbara Manning and the Verlaines that, while they would not resurface in my collection down the road, broadened my musical horizons at the time.
A similar album (also acquired through Columbia House) was DGC Rarities vol. 1, which introduced me to Teenage Fanclub, the Posies and the Sundays. I enjoyed the offerings by Nirvana, Weezer and one of my favorite bands at the time, Counting Crows. Looking back, DGC Rarities vol. 1 provided more in the way of genre exposure than artist exposure. It was full of early 90s pop gems and their more grungy counterparts. I have to say, there are few things I wouldn't do to get a DGC Rarities vol. 2. Sadly, there was never a second installment released.
It's interesting to think of how these amazing collections were made possible by the powerful bankrolls and distribution channels of the major labels, and how that model — for this kind of music, at least — has totally shifted. Nowadays, it's much easier for an isolated 15-year-old in South Florida to get her mind blown by new music. But back in the day, I made do with what I had. So, thanks, Columbia House, for helping sow the seeds of a life of music nerdery.

The Polar Bear Earth Day Ride Performance was done on April 17th 2016, in connection to Earth Day New York's annual celebration on Union Square. In the previous years collaborations with Earth Day New York the focus has been on Electric Cars and Electric Vehicles of all kinds in collaboration with Mr. Green . This time around the focus was on bikes, as a way of CO2 neutral transportation, and on Polar Bears as the animal who suffers the most from the climate changes caused by among many things CO2. The route was specially designed to take place on New Yorks new bike lanes, officially called "Copenhagen Lanes".
In previous years performances with electric vehicles, the route of the GPS Tag has been "E", as part of Earth Day New York's "Be the E Campaign". The 2016 Campaign was "Car Free Earth Day".
Mr. Green and his Green Suited Crew has been since the first version during COP15 been undertaking the elements of performance, humor and flashmobbing as part of the event.
This time around CO2 Green Drive was in collaboration with the Danish Green Party "The Alternative" and their Political leader Uffe Elbæk. Mr. Elbæk held a speech on the main stage on Union Square, where he talked about the climate crisis we are facing, about the positive results from COP21 in Paris along with giving a Huge Green Hug from Copenhagen to New York!
Next to the stage was the Unbearable sculpture by Jens Galschiøt. A sculpture that the day before was installed in a large scale version in front of the Parliment in Copenhagen. See more in the end of the article.
Uffe was not all dressed out in white, but being a Grey Polar Bear worked out well too! Next to him is the New York based Danish Top Model Terese Pagh, who had gone all out in her Polar Bear Dressing Styles.
The GPS Tag CO2 Route webinterface, with logos from the collaborators CO2 Green Drive, Tine's Up, Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space and Earth Day New York/Earth Day Initiative in each corner.
The performance could be seen LIVE during on: http://co2greendrive.gilvader.dk/ny16.html
The CO2 Route started on 22nd Street and 5th Avenue. In above image just above Union Square on Broadway and 18th Street. The group are The Polar Bear Bike Performers, who with their CO2 Green Drive GPS APP was about to push "Start" and thereby paint the orange virtual brush stroke on the streets of New York.
The "C" in the CO2 route started by the above phonebox, where a collect call was made to Lord Gilvader in Copenhagen, letting him know that the ride was On, like Ron. Hello Mr. Anderson.
Everone made sure they started their APP so they could be the artists, the art and initiate the performance.
The Copenhagen Lanes have many different shapes and colors in New York. Sometimes it is just two wide White Lines on the ground, as above.
Go Left!
Uffe's personal assistant Mark Hessellund Beanland was also part of the perfromance, on one of New York own CitiBikes that can be rented all over the city. In above image going south by the Chelsea Piers on West Side.
Go Right!
"So, now we have just finnished the "C" as we enter 6th Avenue going north as we start on the "O", said the guy with the Orange pants.
Go Right!
You in the Blue, Strike a pose! Great light came upon the performers as they left West Village and went north on 6th Avenue.
In above photo of Bill Di Paola, who is the Founder of the environmental organization and bike activist group Time's Up! Bill documented most of the ride with his mobile phone and uploaded videos and images throughout the ride on the Facebook page for Time's Up, with their almost 7000 followers.
The above video of Terese on the route was done by Bill, and soon got many likes!
Stand Alone in the Land of Clones - said the Blue Bird! Two Blocks that way.
This Polar Bear Rider stood alone in the land of clones, waiting for the red light, for one moment in time.
The Freedom Tower has replaced The Twin Towers as the new icon seen in skyline of the city. Not my cup of tea, but then again I prefere coffee.
At times one could suspect the ride of being some kind of undercover Fashion show or shoot.
Go Right.
The performers stopped outside the legendary Club Limelight, housed in a classic old Gothic Church, on 20th Street and 6th Avenue.
Even Uffe could tell stories about his adventures at Limelight back in the days. And so could Yrs Truly.
Shades and Sun
That way, just keep going that way - with Bird & CC
The final spurt down 10th street to end the "O" by the Triangle Project artist Baris in full Polar Bear gear.
A final photo from the performance with the Danish Biomega Bikes dressed out as Polar Bears. Biomega Bikes supported the performance by lending out four amazing bikes to be tested and seen in the streets of New York during Earth Day and later exhibited them at the annual New York Bike Expo. Thanks Biomega!
The above is a screenshot of the actual route that was done. The final version of the CO2 Tag is programmed to only show the CO2 letters and not the in-between-route that was done to cover all the coordinates for the streets creating the CO2 tag. The route was also selected to only be on Copenhagen Lanes, so it was going in the legally right directions throughout the route.
After the ride was over, all the performers was served a Magic Soup and Boreka by Dilara from Abracadabra. Dilara and her husband Ahmet are part of TheTriangle Project and have collaborated in version of the project in both Istanbul and Copenhagen too. Lately they have brought their brilliant food concept from Istanbul to superhip Williamsburg, where they have their restaurant on Bedford Avenue.
The freshly baked Boreka was delicious.
But, the Magic Soup was amazing! Just what a Polar Bear Peformer needs after a good ride.
Is Uffe looking into the Cup Dilara is holding?
Brendan & Bill
The always laughing and smiling Dilara!
Ahmet, Orange Pants and Dilara talking Turkish politics and old memories..

Jens Galshiøt's Unbearable Polar Bear Sculpture, with camouflaged Biomega Bikes
The Unbearable Sculpture was during the day also placed by the booth of Michael Albert. Michael Albert is an old friend of the project and used to have a permanent floor with his art on the 3rd floor of the legendary Gershwin Hotel. However, his next door neighboors was not happy about the hardcore message and look of the sculpture. There were many children present and they felt it scared them a bit, so it was moved back be placed next to the mainstage. They question is if art should be scary, or just so shocking so people can wake up?
Yes, the Unbearable sculpture is sad and scary. It does scare children and even some adults, but this form of Intentional Art does make people think and react. Is it the role of the artist to take on the role in society to try and wake people up and make them think about life? Well, Mr. Galschiøt has been doing activist political art for over 20 years, and just keeps going on doing his art and his thing. He has also figureded out a way to make a living out of his art and therefore does not have to care what the official mainstream Danish art scene thinks. He really does not care and he does not need their money. Or as Andy Warhol put it: "Don't think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone else decide if it's good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they are deciding, make even more art."
Here is the large scale version, as mentioned in the beginning of the story. It is placed in front of the Danish Parliment, to be seen by Danish Politicians walking by and looking out their windows. It is also placed on a square in the heart of the city, with street full of cars, busses, bikes and pedestrains. Read more about the project in this Business Insider story.
Well, this sweet little squirrel was not impaled by anyone in the Polar Bear Performance group. Instead it got some Boreka and hung out on one of the bikes for a while.
Jesper Hyuk Larsen who in the above photo from Earth Day 2013 were interviewed by FOX News, took most of the photos in this post. Thanks Jesper, what would we do without you?
David Victor Rose and his Treehouse Factory Crew also showed up, hower a bit too late so the main riders had taken off. Thanks for showing up, and the outfits are great! See you next time, on time! (jk)
Yanna Paradise was another Triangle Project artist who was also missing for the performance, as she was in Europe for her own adventures. Yanna however, helped laying alot of the groundwork, coordinating the plans locally, leading up to the event. Yanna is part of the all women performance group called W.I.S.E .W.I.S.E. is a multi-faceted feminist and ever-evolving performance group. The letters W.I.S.E. are as changeable as the nature of reality. Such as "With Infinite Shakti Energy", "Women in Support of the Earth", "Wanderers Into Shamanic Exploration".
April 24th was spent on a rooftop belonging to Bryn in Williamsburg, with a spectacular view over the new Manhattan skyline. Many of the New York based Triangle artists were present celebrating 44 Orange years. The above image was done by Lucien Samaha.
Thanks again to everyone being part of the performance and this New York adventure!

The Accounting Historians Journal Vol. 9, No. 2 Fall 1982 Robert P. Crum UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY VALUE-ADDED TAXATION: THE ROOTS RUN DEEP INTO COLONIAL AND EARLY AMERICA Abstract: This article indicates that even the most recent forms of taxation find their roots firmly planted in Colonial America. The author shows that the concepts: ad valorem, transaction basis, indirect levy, multi-step collection, and taxation of net product were present during this early period. Through the use of these con-cepts the historical justifications for the income and sales tax system are provided and indicate a trend toward combining these concepts into one tax. The value-added tax is such a tax. The author concludes that adoption of this tax would complete a trend in American taxation which "took root" in colonial times. In the United States the tax structure consists of transaction, wealth, and income taxes (which are transaction based). This study will investigate transaction taxes which contain concepts under-lying the value-added tax. Conceptually the value-added tax is a tax on the increase in value of a good or service resulting from production or distribution which is measured at each level of pro-duction or distribution by the difference between input and output transactions (net product). In its elementary form, it is a gross ex-penditure tax (measured by gross receipts of the output or selling company) allowing a credit for the taxes paid on inputs. Concepts underlying the tax are as follows: The tax is (1) value based (ad valorem), (2) transaction based, (3) an indirect tax levied upon ex-penditure, (4) multi-step, (5) taxation of net product (thus is non-pyramiding and noncascading; a net turnover tax). Several taxes (to be discussed in depth later), are evaluated for inclusion or ex-clusion of these concepts in Table 1. How each contributes to the development and integration of these concepts will be investigated from the historical approach. These developments can be classified as (1) development of graduated polls, licenses, and the property tax, (2) development of specific excises, (3) development of excises, income taxes, and licenses based on gross receipts, (4) develop-ment of general excises and sales taxes, and (5) value-added taxes. The income tax will not be investigated because it is a result of the development and integration of these concepts rather than their

Departing Cisco overlord moulded partners from Channel clay
Can public-sector Klein fill his boots?
Industry veteran and Cisco channel chief Keith Goodwin is hanging up his boots, the networking kingpin confirmed in a blog post.
After 38 years in IT – with the last 13 at Cisco – the senior veep of the worldwide partner organisation is set to retire, with one Bruce Klein waiting in the wings as a replacement from 1 August.
In the posting late last night, Robert Lloyd, Cisco exec veep of worldwide operations, described Goodwin's exit as a "loss".
During his tenure at Cisco, Goodwin led the global sales team, the Americas International Theatre – Cisco-ese for the business on the other side of the pond – and spent the last seven as boss of channels.
Goodwin oversaw the shake-up of the channel organisation last year, amid wider mass redundancies at the firm, and if anything he increased the vendor's reliance on partners in the Partner Led organ.
The Partner Led business was a direct sales engagement by Cisco that involved resellers or the other partner variants established by the vendor.
Goodwin's successor - 30-year IT old-timer Klein - was most recently senior veep for the US public sector and will take charge of the partner organisation from Cisco's new fiscal year.
Lloyd said of Klein:
"Now is the time to break new ground and really push how we engage with all of our Cisco partners."
Alastair Edwards, principal analyst at Canalys, said Goodwin had helped transform Cisco's channel from a reseller organisation to one that also included systems integrators and service providers.
"He started with a worldwide channel organisation and left with a worldwide partner organisation," Edwards told The Channel.
But he questioned how the appointment of Klein would play out with resellers across the globe.
"The challenge for Cisco is how to remain relevant to partners and customers. A big question is whether someone with a background in US public sector can step up to take on the global channel organisation." ®

I am very honored to be a member of the Trailspace community; this website hosts some of the most passionate, knowledgeable persons I know. I am truly fortunate to be in the same room as these folks. For myself, I've been hiking and backpacking for longer than I can remember. If there is something I can offer to the community, I try to make it as valuable as possible, if only because I do not spend much time writing. Otherwise, I glean what I can from my peers. I have much to learn.
I grew up in various southern suburbs of Chicago, climbing in trees and digging up worms. I spent a decade or so in the Scouts, did a stint in the military, and eventually settled into the field of Resource Management, acquiring a degree in Forestry from Southern Illinois. During this time I was fortunate enough to be able to hike the River to River Trail: a 160-mile path wending through the Shawnee National Forest and its surrounding fields. One end is at the Ohio River, and the other at the Mississippi, and it effectively "cuts off" the bottom tip of Illinois. It's a beautiful trail, if sparsely marked. Tracing through the best of the Shawnee Hills, the trail offers myriad opportunities which allow one to take a very light pack.
I love to spend time in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan...And I'm there right now! I've Kayaked the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, and love spending time in the Porcupine Mountains; with Hemlocks some 180' tall and 3' in diameter, there really is much at which to marvel in the Porkies. It remains the most beautiful length of woods through which I've ever had the pleasure to walk.
I took a week-long mountaineering course in Washington's North Cascades through Outward Bound, which covered rudimentary roped travel and mountain ambulation techniques. We had two great guides, and were lucky enough to have the regional director along as well, himself an accomplished mountain guide. Spent a week at treeline, getting basic instruction in anchor building, knots, and actual climbing. We got 5 inches of snow in a two-day period, in early September; snowflakes like drink coasters. We had a bunch of fun in the good ol' Black Diamond 'mids. It was a blast.
I recently finished a year with the BLM in the Grand Valley of Western Colorado. I served as a Park Ranger, monitoring some 1,500,000 acres of canyons, cliffs, and mountains. I'd put the beauty of Unaweep Canyon up against any National Park out there...
I just wrapped up a stint as a Forestry Technician for the Shawnee National Forest--a "Forest Ranger" if you will. Any given day might've seen me at Garden of the Gods, Jackson Falls, or Lusk Creek...or all three...
I've been climbing for a while, and definitely have a love for sandstone. I'm a certified Wilderness First Responder and Leave No Trace Master Educator. In my personal pursuits I've spent more nights out under the stars than I can count. Simply put, I love a good walk. I have limited technical mountaineering experience, but am comfortable with an ice axe and crampons. I have extensive extreme weather conditions experience resultant from both my military training and personal endeavors. I wouldn't be angry if I became a professional mountain guide or SAR operator.

Place herbs adjacent to grills and food prep areas, which are all small, underutilized locations that will encourage you to use them.
If you could only grow one group of edibles, herbs should be at the top of your list, due to their versatility in the kitchen. They are also easy to grow, due to their forgiving nature and generally not picky on their soil conditions.
When you consider that purchasing a cut bunch of herbs is the same price or more than a small potted plant, it just makes sense to grow them yourself.
We all have small areas that we pass by every day that we overlook. We should stop thinking of an herb garden as a dedicated garden bed for herbs, and start integrating our herbs into our existing landscapes. It is true that some can be used as ground cover, but they do not have to be given that much space. Place them pots in between your flowers or other edibles. Exhibit them near small, underutilized locations such as on front steps, windowsills, back porches, in your kitchen, adjacent to grills and food prep areas and you will be encouraged to use them often.
Garlic and chives planted in blocks make use of an otherwise useless space. By having herbs along the walkway, cooks have it easy.
Indoor Herb Options:
Basil (Ocimum species)
Anise hyssop (Agastache foeniculum)
Sage advice
Herbs are great for not only cooking, but also for adding textures, scents and visual appeal to your garden. Luckily for us, herbs will grow in just about anything. They are easy to grow in containers for yearlong supply or for those with limited space. Herbs don't need to be fussed over. Aside from starting with a high quality organic soil that contains trace minerals, I do not fertilize my herbs. If you find that your plants are lighter green or have mottled leaves you can add a diluted liquid fertilizer that contains nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and a small amount of trace elements every two weeks.
Investing in a loose potting soil that maintains moisture is ideal. Herbs generally have small root systems and don't mind drying out in-between waterings. Thyme and oregano will not be as flavorful if they get a lot of water. Oregano will even grow in poor soil.
By regularly harvesting, you will get bushy herbs. Pinch terminal growth every few days to keep plants looking full. The more you harvest the more you get. During the growing season, you could use the "cut and come again" approach to use them in the kitchen every day. You must use them or you will lose them. Harvest before they set flowers.
Most herbs will require plenty of sun, typically six or more hours. For herbs grown indoors, a south- or east-facing window is best. Herbs that are labeled as full sun elsewhere may do best in partial shade in the South. Not many herbs can be grown in full shade, but many can grow in lightly shaded areas.
Small pots, like those seen in many magazines which show 2-3 inch terracotta pots with herbs growing in them, in reality dry out very quickly. If I cut a large part off for cooking, I try to root the stem. If even a small portion of the cuttings make it, I am happy. I can't have enough herbs. I do use small pots for newly rooted cuttings. Some herbs, you may not want to ever plant in your garden, like mint, due to its spreading properties.
Left: Genovese basil, a cultivar of Ocimum basilicum, is an Italian variety that can get up to 2-feet tall. Middle: I didn't always like Cuban oregano (Plectranthus amboinicus), likely because I ate it raw the first few times.Grow this plant as an annual. Right: Toothache plant (Spilanthes acmella) may enhance the immune system, improve digestion and help nausea. The name comes from the numbing properties it has when the leaves and flowers are chewed.Grow this plant as an annual.
The more soil mass you have, the more flexibility you will get. By using larger pots you will not have to be married to your plants. You can leave them for a few days and the soil mass will allow for the correct moisture retention.
Thyme's a wastin'
Now that you are familiar with some herb basics, try it yourself. Kick off the summer with some of these flavorful combinations.

Lateral Entry Guidance for Lunar Return Vehicles
DOI: 10.5539/mas.v6n3p100
A lateral entry guidance is designed based on azimuth error and crossrange error for a low L/D ratio lunar return vehicle. The conventional technique to determine the bank sign is according to the crossrange error, which might cause large crossrange deviation during Kepler phase if azimuth error at skip out point is large. This paper develops a combined lateral guidance logic to minish accumulate crossrange error caused by azimuth error during Kepler phase. The lateral logic decides the value of crossrange threshold by constantly predicting the crossrange at skip out point. The azimuth error at skip out point is regulated to a small value by only one bank reverse through online adjusting reversal threshold. The effect of earth rotation is compensated by moving the landing site to opposite direction. During the second entry, the lateral logical is designed based on the crossrange error to achieve precise lateral control. The lateral guidance logic is validated by numerical simulations. Monte Carlo simulations show that the proposed lateral guidance logic can deliver the vehicle to the desired landing site in the presence of large initial dispersions and disturbance.

Ann Gilbert, director of fitness for Shapes Total Fitness for Women, leads a team of 16 fitness managers and more than 250 personal trainers and group fitness professionals. She is well known as a presenter and has received the IHRSA/ACE Trainer of the Year Award. For the past 10 years, Gilbert has served as a faculty board member for the Fitness Academy, an educational resource for continuing education in the Tampa Bay area. She can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Although many club operators have taken action to fill in pools or are decreasing the number of aquatics classes on their schedule, fitness entrepreneurs are seeing the wet area as the new hub of member activity. The goal for most is to rekindle interest, increase usage and introduce specialized programming. The results are in, and revenue, retention and referral are on the rise. Here are 10 ways to increase member usage of your aquatics area:
1. Launch new members into water fitness programming. When you implement an introduction to water fitness programming as part of your new member integration system, the member can experience the benefits of resistance and cardiovascular training in a welcoming environment. A program like this allows participants to gain confidence while learning the fundamentals. Upon implementation, most clubs have found increased membership referrals and duplication numbers.
2. Introduce small group personal training options in the aquatics area. This option assures that members can exercise in a group setting with those of similar need. Most agree that small group training sessions assure that members receive personalized coaching and total health and fitness benefits at an affordable price. Many are now calling the wet area the water fitness area, and introducing fee-based personalized options once only found on dry ground. Creating a water fitness menu of services will assure professional marketing of the options available to your membership base.
3. Introduce popular land-based programming in the aquatics area. In clubs across the country, you are apt to find Aqua Kick Boxing, Aqua Pilates, Aqua Yoga and Aqua Dance as staples on the group fitness schedule. A focus on upbeat music and choreography is no longer exclusive to the land programming. Although beginners will feel comfortable with basic movement patterns repeated more often, the regulars will be asking for more when those creative turns, jumps, kicks and spins can be added.
4. Add aquatic-style seasonal, birthday and anniversary celebrations to increase usage during non-prime time hours. Whether renting the area for a fee or expanding the club's monthly party to the area, the excitement of the pool party is felt by all. Kids and adults alike find the pool the perfect place to celebrate their special event, increasing non-dues revenue opportunities within the facility.
5. Offer one-on-one personal sessions in your aquatics lineup. Many trainers have stepped up, seeing one-on-one training in the pool as a way to grow their careers. Most trainers know the benefits of transitioning in the pool after an injury, therapy or a major sporting event. As doctors direct their patients to the water, personal trainers who have established themselves as water fitness experts will reap the benefits of having taken the aquatics trainer certification.
6. Introduce a rapid weight-loss aquatics program. Classes and groups focusing on rapid weight-loss programming, including water walking, intervals, drills and endurance workouts, are now popular. Marketing your water fitness programming as more than just the aqua class of the past and including it in all local and social networking sites will create a member experience like no other, while drawing nonmembers to the club.
7. Offer specificity aquatics training to increase retention, revenue and referrals. When clubs add mind/body classes, people will come in, pay for value-based programming and tell one and all about the options. Many clubs schedule stress-relieving workouts as part of weekend member parties or "pamper me" events. Light the candles and dim the lights, and watch the referral numbers climb. Many facilities combine these unique trainings with stretching demos, foam rolling clinics and "try me' training sessions, in which fitness professionals can introduce their workout's softer side.
8. Offer boot camps, aqua marines and swim competitions. The key to increasing usage in the aquatics areas of your facility is to frequently change your options or menu selection. Introduce a fee- and non-fee-based menu, recruit the best of the best trainers and instructors, then educate your members about the benefits of adhering to all aspects of fitness in the pool.

A new video by The Lincoln Project, a newly formed Republican organization against Donald Trump, mocks Trump supporters for worshiping "The MAGA Church." The ad intertwines clips of Trump talking about faith with videos of him speaking crudely. It also features Bible verses, such as Matthew 7:15 which states "Beware of false prophets, which come […]
The Dallas shopping mall's atrium was filled with excited hopefuls of all ages. They stood patiently in line, applications in hand, hoping to be the next nationwide TV game show winners.
But on this new show they wouldn't be answering "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" trivia. Nor would they show off their "Price Is Right" knowledge or their "Don't Forget the Lyrics" grip on pop music.
Instead, they were cramming, last minute, flipping through Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Deuteronomy and the Song of Solomon. And the Second Epistle of Paul to the Corinthians.
They were clutching Bibles, glancing over New Testament flash cards and hoping they would get to appear on what the Game Show Network is taking a big risk on — and what could be America's next TV phenomenon. With full support from the network's Sony Corporation owners, GSN is auditioning potential contestants nationwide and has signed on comedian Jeff Foxworthy to host the American Bible Challenge.
Want to be a contestant on the American Bible Challenge? Click HERE!
Is it a crazy idea? Well, in its 25th season Wheel of Fortune is just a dressed-up children's game, yet it continues to draw record audiences year after year. The Price Is Right is in its 39th year – little more than a test of how well you've kept up with grocery prices – and it's a money machine for its owners. And Jeopardy? For a quarter century, America has watched geeks and eggheads create correct questions to trivia answers. Yet each of those three shows earns millions in advertising dollars due to the millions of faithful viewers – daily regulars who schedule everything around Drew Carey, Alex Trebeck and Vanna White.
So, reasoned the corporate bigwigs at Sony and GSN, why not a game show built around the bestselling book of all time? More copies of the Bible are in print than any other written work. According to the New York Times, more than 40,000 Bibles are sold daily. Even more are given away daily by such groups as Gideons International and the American Bible Society. The Bible's continuing sales numbers exceed those of even the most popular novels. Harry Potter, Twilight, Hunger Games – none even come close. "If you want to get at the real best sellers," said the manager of one of the largest bookstores in New York to a Times reporter, the standout champion of all time is the Bible.
So, why wouldn't a game show based on its pages be a big success? GSN is believing the Holy Bible's universal appeal and eternal promise will give them the next Deal or No Deal.
It would seem that the big prime-time hits such as "Deal," "Millionaire," The Singing Bee, Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader? and Don't Forget The Lyrics would be the giants of the game show world. Actually, the powerhouses are three shows that have lasted year after year: The Price Is Right, Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy. In fourth place is Family Feud. Fallen by the wayside, but probably due for resurrection in the not-too-distant future are such old favorites as Password, Hollywood Squares, Let's Make a Deal and the Match Game.
But the Game Show Network is looking to shake things up. They think they've found a vast, untapped market – those millions of viewers who couldn't care less about pop music or sports trivia, but who can recite the all names of the ancient judges of Israel, can detail the major events in each chapter of the Book of Acts, and without blinking can Continued on Page 2

The Lone SysAdmin by Bob Plankers – Explaining Things Simply
In this post Bob does great job at making you think in this post..
Humans try to make everything really, really complicated. Sometimes we need the complexity but we often do it just because we can. We do it without thinking about it, perhaps a subliminal way of telling people to check out our species' big brains.
Double Cloud by Steve Jin – Simple Logging in Java Application
Here Steve talks about a logging in Java Application development.
Logging is a common requirement for application. In Java world, there are a few frameworks, the first and the most famous of which is the log4j from Apache foundation. Java included its own logging APIs afterwards. You can find many discussions which one is better in terms of use of use, flexibility, and performance. To reconcile the two APIs, a common abstraction called Simple Logging Facade for Java (SLF4J) was created. As SLF4J works with both log4j and Java logging, you can switch between them easily (in theory).

If there's one person Luxemi loves, it's Oprah, so you can imagine how excited we were that the fashion and media icon featured one of our accessories in the July 2012 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine. Here's how to rock the Oblong Gold and Jade Earrings that Oprah loves with your favorite saree or salwar!
As soon as we laid eyes on these intriguing Oblong Gold and Jade Earrings, we knew they had to be part of Luxemi's new accessory collection. What do we love most about them? For starters, their unique oval shape, which puts a chic twist on your typical drop earrings. A 1950s-inspired flower motif, pearl embellishments and jade-colored accent stones give these gold earrings a vintage-meets-modern appeal that's on everyone's fashion radar right now. And did we mention that they only cost $28?
For a classic pairing, we love wearing these earrings with this Short Flare Salwar by Kisneel. The Oblong Gold and Jade Earrings give this festive salwar a modern edge and pick up on the outfit's kelly green and gold without being too matchy-matchy. It's definitely a look we could see wearing on a breezy summer afternoon.
We also like the idea of pairing these earrings with a neutral saree to add a flash of color. This Crepe Saree with Inlaid Ribbons is gorgeous and sophisticated on its own, but the pop of jade green from these earrings bring this Grecian goddess look to the next level. The takeaway fashion tip? If you want to make your go-to neutral saree more playful or flirty, use colored accent jewelry like these earrings to add instant visual intrigue.
Love these Oblong Gold and Jade Earrings as much as O, The Oprah Magazine does? There's more where that came from! Stay tuned this summer for Luxemi's new accessory collection, which features rings, bangles, collars, necklaces and earrings hand-picked with our Luxe fans in mind.

A 23-year-old man was shot and killed in East L.A. early Saturday after going outside his home to meet his girlfriend.
Deputies responded to reports of a gunshot wound victim at the 900 block of Kern Avenue just before 2 a.m., said Deputy Quiana Birkbeck of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
People in the area told authorities that they heard the fatal gunshot ring out.
Top news of the day
"People heard a single gunshot, heard someone yelling for help," said Detective Ron Duval.
The victim was transported to a hospital and was later pronounced dead, officials said.
Duval said there were no witnesses to the shooting but investigators learned that the victim was walking up Whittier Boulevard to meet his girlfriend, who was walking to his home, when he was shot.
"We just need witnesses to come forward and tell us what they saw," Duval said.

Limited Edition Sky Blue Sporting Stripe
Limited Edition Sky Blue Sporting Stripe
Our Sporting Stripe collection has been inspired by Fox Brothers' Archive of original Tonedale Sporting Stripes, ideal for a blazer and perfect for Spring/Summer. This sporting stripe features a sky blue worsted cloth with muted dark coffee and white stripes.
Using worsted yarn gives a smoother texture and appearance and also provides a crisper handle to the cloth. This worsted flannel, first created in 1803 by Fox Brothers and Co., is known the world over for its superior finish and luxurious handle that makes for the finest suits.
- 148cm width (slightly narrower width)
- Woven by Fox Brothers and Co. in the South West
- 100% Merino
- Dry clean only
- Your tailor will be able to advise of quantity of cloth required
Fox Brothers, the English woollen mill established in Somerset in 1772 is credited with being the originator of fine woollen and worsted flannels during the last century and is still said to produce the best in the world. According to style connoisseurs, when choosing flannel, "always be sure to ask for it (Fox) by name".
Fox Brothers first developed 'flannel' in 1803 and to quote Esquire magazine, is still the "Standard Bearer" for this wonderfully soft cloth.Loved by tailors who appreciate the way the it cuts "like a good butter', this wonderfully soft cloth has evolved over many years and is now available as suit lengths in varying designs and weights, exclusively on The Merchant Fox.
Iconic images from recent history show gentlemen of style wearing Fox Flannel - Sir Winston Churchill's Savile Row tailor Henry Poole favoured a chalk stripe, Hollywood legend Cary Grant often wore Fox and of course, Gregory Peck in the film, 'The Man In The Grey Flannel Suit'.

A great industry, if you will, of our community is the tourist industry. We are very lucky to have visitors from all over the world visit our area.
My family and I have two games that we play during tourist season. The first involves carrying a notebook in the car and writing down all the out of state license plates we see while going about our normal lives. Our goal, is to one year actually see a car from all 50 United States. Another game is if we actually meet someone from elsewhere, we gather as much information from their lives and share it at the dinner table in the evening. We have learned a lot!
These family games got me to thinking one day. What would travel have been like in Biblical times?
Oh, I attended plenty of Sunday school classes where the teacher droned on about how Paul traveled to this place or that. Jesus and his disciples traveled quite a bit also. I saw the maps in the back of my Bible. Tried to pretend I was interested in where this one or that one traveled. But to be honest, I really didn't give their travel much thought.
Now as a mother, I have renewed appreciation for their travels.
Never did it seem to sink in that people actually "walked", on these journeys. I can tell you the last time my family walked to Moab, to visit my aunt and cousin. That would be um ... never. When I plan a family trip, it usually involves calculations such as how many pit stops we make, and how much each person is allowed to drink between pit stops. I figure who gets to sit next to who, because you know, according to my kids, some of my children may have "cooties", and the other children don't want to get any of those on them.
What you don't see in the Bible is a mention of the convenience store, Paul stopped at to drink his favorite soda, on his way to say, Damascus. Nor did Jesus and his disciples stop by the local fast food joint, during their travels.
OK, I know that those things didn't exist then. It sure opens up a lot of area to think though. We simply get in a vehicle and hope the juice holds out until we reach the next rest stop.
They packed the food they would need for their journey. They didn't have vehicles, and most didn't have animals to ride so the majority walked everywhere they went. No sunscreen, no fast food restaurants, no convenience stores. They had to carry each thing they brought with them, so I imagine, they kept all supplies to the barest minimum.
I wonder if Biblical Moms ever had to answer the age old question: "Are we there yet?" Something to think about for sure.

Education Tax Credits Upheld, Again
The decision by the Arizona court of Appeals today upholding the constitutionality of the business tax credit program should put to bed once and for all these frivolous lawsuits against tax credits. Opponents are wasting their money.
Education tax credits are taxpayer funds and therefore cannot run afoul of state constitutional provisions regarding the use of government funds. It really is just that simple.
Some school choice supporters have given up on vouchers because of recent disappointments and think that means the end for private school choice. They forget the most successful school choice policy in recent years is education tax credits.
Not only have tax credit programs been passed and expanded with regularity (GA just passed a $50 million, universal program last year), education tax credits have proven bullet‐proof in court.
Education tax credits are the future for school choice, and it's looking pretty bright.

Home-Based Test Can Detect Cervical Cancer VirusThe HPV self-test is good alternative to Pap smears for women in poor regions of the world, expert says.
THURSDAY, Nov. 3, 2011 (HealthDay News) — Home-based tests using self-collected vaginal samples could serve as an alternative to the traditional Pap smear tests designed to detect the virus that causes cervical cancer, new study findings show.
While laboratories have confirmed the accuracy of vaginal tests for human papillomavirus (HPV), it's been unclear if they would be as effective as medical office-based Pap smears when women used them at home.
Poor women around the world are especially unlikely to get Pap smears, which require a visit to a medical office, according to the authors of the new study, published online Nov. 2 in The Lancet.
In the study, researchers randomly assigned poor Mexican women aged 25 to 65 to get either a traditional Pap smear or take the vaginal HPV test at home. More than 20,000 women took part in the study.
The HPV test detected four times as many cases of cancer as the Pap smear — a rate of 30 per 10,000 women versus seven per 10,000, the investigators found. However, the HPV test had a much higher rate of false positives — tests that inaccurately detected cancer.
Despite the higher false-positive rate, the study authors noted, the home-based tests may be preferable to Pap smears in poor regions because of the challenges of getting Pap smears in these areas.
Commenting on the study, Dr. Alan G. Waxman, professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of New Mexico, pointed out that in the United States, about 50 percent of the 12,000 women who are diagnosed with cervical cancer each year have never had a Pap smear.
Many of the women who develop the disease are minorities, he said, "and a proportion are also immigrant women who may come from a country where regular screening is not part of the culture."
Waxman said home-based tests are "the way to go" in poor countries. As for costs, he said the tests wouldn't require office visits.
And while Waxman acknowledged that the home-based tests produce many false-positive results, he added that they are also more sensitive to signs of cancer than Pap smears.
So why not replace Pap smears with HPV tests in the United States? "In the United States, we don't do just one test. Women have multiple Pap tests," Waxman said. Cervical cancer "is a slow-growing process, so you make up for that difference by doing multiple tests over time."
The Lancet study was led by Eduardo Lazcano-Ponce of the Centre of Investigation in Population Health at the National Institute of Public Health in Morelos, Mexico, and Attila Lorincz of the Centre for Cancer Prevention at Wolfson Institute of Preventive Medicine, Barts and the London School of Medicine, Queen Mary University of London.

This week I start doing some work as a researcher for the Digital Cultures Research Centre at the University of the West of England, looking at a range of notions surrounding postdigitality.
The working hypothesis I've been given to function as a jumping off point is that 'the digital' in 'digital cultures' is on the verge of becoming a redundant term since all significant global cultures are all already digital.' If this is the case how should the research centre strategically reconfigure its interests to maintain relevance within this postdigital moment.
My main experience with notions around postdigitality thus far comes from documenting the Postdigital Encounters Journal of Media Practice Symposium in 2011, which featured a range of interestingly contradictory takes on the postdigital:
I'm looking forwards to engaging with the DCRC staff around this issue, and spending some time thinking about the underlying value of a discourse which is currently fragmented and largely dominated by some fairly insubstantial rhetoric on blogs and newspaper articles, but which appears to touch on some far more interesting material around the rematerialisation of technologies, the Internet of things, pervasive media, and smart cities and connected communities.

This extraction of data from 1970 decennial Census files (CENSUS OF POPULATION AND HOUSING, 1970 [UNITED STATES]: SUMMARY TAPE FILES 4A, 4B, 4C [ICPSR 9014, 8127, 8107] and STF 5A, 5B, and 5C) was designed to provide a set of contextual variables to be matched to any survey dataset that has been coded for the geographic location of respondents, such as the PANEL STUDY OF INCOME DYNAMICS, 1968-1988 (ICPSR 7439). This geographic area data can also be analyzed independently with neighborhoods, labor market areas, etc., as the units of analysis. Over 120 variables were selected from the original Census sources, and more than 100 variables were derived from those component variables. The variables characterize geographic areas in terms of population counts, ethnicity, family structure, income and poverty, education, residential mobility, labor force activity, and housing. The geographic areas range from neighborhoods, through intermediate levels of geography, through large economic areas, and beyond to large regions. These variables were selected from the Census data for their relevance to problems associated with poverty and income determination, and 80 percent were present in comparable form in both the 1970 and 1980 Census datasets.

MIDDLESBROUGH head coach Aitor Karanka will step up attempts to strengthen his squad upon returning from the club's pre-season tour in Spain this week.
Boro rounded off their training camp in Marbella with a 5-0 win over Atletico Clube de Portugal yesterday morning thanks to goals from new striker Kike (2), Bradley Fewster (2) and George Friend.
Kike – along with goalkeeper Tomas Mejias – represent Karanka's only summer signings so far and the Boro boss is still in the market for a number of players.
Despite securing the services of Kike, the Spaniard is still in the market for a striker, as well as a central midfielder and a right-back.
The likes of Danny Graham, Jelle Vossen, Patrick Bamford and Adam Clayton have all been linked with moves to the Riverside, but Middlesbrough are finding deals difficult to complete.
Work has continued behind the scenes during the squad's week-long stay in Spain, but Karanka is keen to make another breakthrough soon.
Chelsea defender Kenneth Omeruo revealed on Sunday he will join Boro on another loan deal after he returns from holiday, but The Northern Echo understands a deal has not yet been completed.
It remains to be seen whether there will be any more new faces in before Saturday's trip to face Rochdale, but Karanka admitted he was pleased with his players' performance in Marbella.
"It's another game where we have worked really well," the Boro boss said. "Obviously the score is important, but this was our last game here.
"The week has been a good balance and it's been very good for me. We had one bad game, but after that we have had a very good reaction and I'm very happy."
Kike opened the scoring in the eighth minute after good work by Luke Williams set the Spanish striker up to curl home.
George Friend doubled the scoring six minutes later after the ball fell to him before Kike grabbed his second and Boro's third 60 seconds later.
Karanka made three changes at the break with Jason Steele, Daniel Ayala and Bradley Fewster coming on, and the youngster made it 4-0 from the spot after Boro were awarded a penalty in the 74th minute.
The forward struck again with six minutes remaining after good work by Dean Whitehead and Lee Tomlin.
Boro (4-2-3-1): Mejias (Steele 46); Atkinson, Burgess (Woodgate 78), Gibson, Friend (Ayala 46); Smallwood (Butterfield 64), Leadbitter (Whitehead 64); Main (Morris 64), L Williams (Tomlin 64), Brobbel (Reach 64); Kike (Fewster 46).
