1. Iron-sulphur cluster assembly and bio-hydrogen production in algae
Project Supervisor: Dr Janneke Balk
Project outline:
The "iron-only" hydrogenases are enzymes that use exclusively iron and sulphide to catalyse the production of hydrogen. As such, they provide a cheap alternative to platinum electrodes currently used for the industrial production of hydrogen gas. Our laboratory is studying the assembly of these natural catalysts, or Fe-S cofactors, in the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardti, a model organism for the production of bio-hydrogen. This project will focus on the role of alga-specific assembly factors that we have recently identified (Godman & Balk, Genetics 2008). Using a reverse genetics approach based on RNAi silencing (in collaboration with David Baulcombe's group) the importance of the candidate genes for hydrogen production will be assessed. In addition, the regulation of Fe-S cluster assembly during hydrogenase-inducing conditions (high light / low oxygen / low sulphur) will be investigated.
2. Ca2+-dependent signalling networks in Chlamydomonas
Project Supervisors: Drs Julia Davies and Alex Webb
Project outline:
Changes in cytosolic free Ca2+ ([Ca2+]cyt) play diverse signalling roles in eukaryote cells, from regulation of the cell cycle, the response to stress and in the maintenance of circadian rhythms. Ca2+-dependent signalling networks must therefore display specificity to coordinate these different cellular functions. Genome sequencing of the unicellular alga Chlamydomonas has indicated a surprising mix of plant- and animal-like Ca2+ transporters and receptors required for determining specificity in these Ca2+ signalling networks [1]. This alga therefore occupies an intriguing evolutionary position to inform us on the development of fundamental signalling processes in eukaryotes. The project will combine high resolution imaging of cytosolic Ca2+ in Chlamydomonas with a range of biochemical and molecular techniques. Candidate components of [Ca2+]cyt-dependent stress signalling pathways and the circadian clock [2] will be knocked down using RNAi to deduce their role. The project is a collaboration between the Cambridge Transport and Signalling Groups (Drs. Julia Davies and Alex Webb), Prof. Colin Brownlee (Marine Biological Association) and Dr. Glen Wheeler (Plymouth Marine Laboratory).

3. Iridescence In Algae: How & Why?
Supervisor: Dr Beverley Glover
Project outline:
Iridescence is the property of appearing different colours when viewed from different angles. It occurs when different wavelengths of light are reflected from a surface at different angles, and gives the vivid rainbow appearance to the feathers of peacocks and the wings of many butterflies and beetles. Iridescence in animals has been extensively investigated, and has a range of roles in intraspecific signalling. Iridescence is not isolated to the animal kingdom, but much less is known about it in photosynthetic organisms. Green and brown algae have been recorded as iridescent, but the phenomenon is most commonly found in red algae, where blue and green colours appear on the surface at certain stages of the lifecycle. The structural basis for this is unknown, and will be studied using a combination of microscopical and modelling approaches in the British species Chondria coerulescens and Drachiella spectabilis.
The function of algal iridescence is also unclear. Suggestions include a role in camouflage or a role in optimising photosynthesis by enhancing the absorption of useful wavelengths of light at the expense of increased reflection of other wavelengths. Optical analysis of the algae will be complemented by analysis of their photosynthetic capacity under different light regimes, to distinguish between these hypotheses.
4. Transcript analysis of the Coleochaete orbicularis algal genome.
Project Supervisor: Dr Jim Haseloff
Project outline:
Members of the genus Coleochaete are multicellular green algae, and exhibit some of the earliest and simplest features of multicellular plant growth. Haploid zoospores initiate the growth of discoid multicellular colonies. The colonies adhere to the substrate and grow as a cell monolayer. The circular morphology of the colonies is maintained by precisely coordinated sequences of anticlinal and periclinal divisions. Cultures are easy to maintain on agar plates and are ideal for microscopy. Coleochaete has been little studied as a developmental system, but shows unique promise for genetic studies. (i) High throughput sequencing approaches will be used to generate the first comprehensive description of expressed sequences in Coleochaete. (ii) A catalogue of predicted protein sequences will be generated and compared to that of higher plants and other algae. (iii) Predicted promoters will be isolated and used for gene expression studies.

5. RNA Silencing in Chlamydomonas
Supervisor: Prof Sir David Baulcombe
Project outline:
RNA silencing is a recently discovered genetic and epigenetic mechanism in growth, development, responses to environmental stimuli and in resistance against viruses. Recently, through work with higher plants, the small RNA species associated with RNA silencing have also been implicated in genome interactions associated with hybrid incompatibility, hybrid vigour and with transgressive segregation in which offspring exhibit phenotypes that are outside the range of the parents.
The proposed project is to investigate these effects in hybrids of North American and Japanese isolates of Chlamydomonas. The patterns of gene expression will be assessed in zygotes and derivative hybrid lines in order to identify molecular phenotypes that deviate from the mid parental value. Genetic and molecular analysis will be carried out in order to characterise the underlying mechanisms.
The mysterious phenotypes of hybrids are one of the big mysteries of modern biology. The project will help solve this mystery by taking advantage of the short time scale of hybridisation in a unicellular alga as compared to multicellular organisms. It will generate information that is relevant to the understanding of various aspects of evolution including mechanisms associated with speciation. There could also be an applied aspect of the project as the information could be used in the development of improved strains for production of biofuels and other chemicals. The project will introduce techniques in molecular biology and there will be a substantial bioinformatic component associated with the analysis of expression profiling data.

Don't let the title scare you away. This isn't (another) screed against the slipping morals of modern America. Instead, "When Anything Goes" is Leslie Williams' response to a world that's clamoring with opinions and crying out for meaning.
As a believer with a keen intellect and a disarming sense of humor, Leslie is an excellent guide on the tour of God-and-humanity interactions. She's distilled her convictions from decades of personal experience and informed her conclusions by years of study.
When she speaks about Christianity, she speaks to a human being first, a soul-hungry creature that's made for more (and made of more) than immediately meets the eye.
We're all "beggars for love, with our hands outstretched." We have illusions of control. We are not in control. We will someday die. Leslie tells it like it is, but she doesn't stop there. She calls us out of hiding, out of covering our dirty tracks, and into greater Life. We can be overwhelmed by the magnificence of forgiveness. We have a home in the heart of God, with the door held open by Christ.We are treasures in God's sight.
I got the sense as I read "When Anything Goes" that Leslie has a very practical Christianity, one worked out right here in the world where all the ends don't tie up and all the numbers don't seem to add. Some people have never encountered a faith that could survive outside a sanctuary. This book reminds us that Christianity, like its Christ, works with whatever material it is given. Nothing is too poor or too profane for God to use or transform.
Ultimately, my best endorsement is to say that this book is reminiscent of C. S. Lewis's "Mere Christianity." C.S and Leslie both know how to talk of heavenly things to their earthly neighbor. And that kind of conversation is one we need more of.
I thank the author and Abingdon Publishers for providing me with a review copy in exchange for an honest opinion.

Suppose you could look at the pool in back of James Cameron's Malibu estate. Or admire the ornate garden at Haim Saban's Beverly Hills mansion. Or check out the tennis court at Tiger Woods' Florida home.
Should you?
The website celebrityaddressaerial.com makes possible exactly that sort of high-tech snooping, listing addresses and aerial photos of the homes of hundreds of celebrities, corporate titans, politicians and others -- including Paris Hilton, Steven Spielberg, Warren Buffet, Matt Drudge, Steve Jobs and Kobe Bryant.
The site boasts that users "will be able to see behind the tall hedges, big gates and security systems" and "get unprecedented access to the sort of lifestyle your favorite celebrity can afford."
To a lot of stars and their lawyers, that's a big problem.
For nearly two years, the site operated with little notice. But Friday, a search warrant unsealed in Las Vegas revealed that one of the members of an alleged burglary ring had used the site, along with TMZ.com and Google Maps, "to gain intelligence on" the homes of young Hollywood celebrities, including Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and Orlando Bloom. Members of the ring would then visit the location to search for a "mode of entry," LAPD investigators said.

Follow the links below to previous articles in this series.
In our second post, we wished to observe that the focus of any church building was not the ambo or the chair, but the ALTAR and that this is in accordance with Tradition.
|The High altar of the Italian Cathedral of
Saint Nicolas, Bari rests beneath a twelfth century civory
or canopy. Behind the altar is the eleventh century cathedra
of the bishop : centrally located,
but completely invisible to the faithful.
Following from this, our third post investigated the tradition of the chair in the Roman Rite, drawing the conclusion that prior to 1965, it was the normative practice for any priest-celebrant to offer the fore-Mass, or Mass of the Catechumens at or near the altar and facing ad orientem. The subsequent practice (found in the New Missale Romanum of 1970) for the priest to celebrate parts of the Mass at the chair and facing the congregation as a presider, is an innovation unknown to Catholic tradition.
|Recitation of the Creed during the
celebration of Mass according to
The Anglican Use of the Roman Rite.
Such constraints, however, do not obtain when considering ad orientem for the Liturgy of the Word, and in particular the Penitential Rite, Kyrie, Gloria, Collect and Credo : any or all of which might be celebrated at the altar, or at its foot, ad orientem. Whilst it is probable that many priests and congregations might not welcome ad orientem celebrations of the Liturgy of the Eucharist, surely fewer would object to parts of the Liturgy of the Word being celebrated ad orientem, particularly if such a practice were introduced slowly and in stages.
of the five preceding posts
of the five preceding posts
- It has been the practice for the Mass according to the 1970 Missale Romanum (and the intention of its devisers) that the Liturgy of the Eucharist be celebrated versum populum. This is (at present) normative but not obligatory.
- The celebration of the fore-Mass or Liturgy of the Word versus populum has only a limited expression in Catholic liturgical tradition and was particular to bishops (only) as a sign of their jurisdiction.
- The altar is the focus of the Mass of the Roman Rite - Ordinary or Extraordinary uses - not the chair or ambo. The priest is the celebrant of the Mass, not a presider.
- Prayers addressed to God during the Liturgy of the Word according to the 1970 Missale Romanum ought be offered ad orientem and preferably at the altar or its foot, in order to make clear that such prayers are not a dialogue between the celebrant and the faithful present.
- A gradual introduction of this principle could subsequently (over a period of years) lead to the celebration of the Ordinary Form of Mass being entirely (or mostly) ad orientem.
* Undoubtedly a manifestation of the "Francis effect".

It's no secret that small churches have big needs. Once resources become scarce, the task of sharing the gospel can become daunting.
That's why I've created this resource page – a list of big tools for small churches, many of which are free (or very inexpensive). Take a look and if you have other resources to share, leave a comment below!
Google Voice gives you a free phone number for calling, text messaging, and voicemail. It works on smartphones and computers, and syncs across your devices so you can use the app while on the go or at home.
I find Google Voice very helpful because I don't always work in the office. I can make and receive calls without giving away my personal number. When someone calls my Google Voice number, it goes right to my cell, but I know it's a work call. Plus, because long-distance calls are free, we save on the office landline. Lastly, it's great for when I'm on vacation, because I can change the forwarding to someone else's number.
MailChimp is the world's leading email marketing platform. 15 million customers, from small e-commerce shops to big online retailers, use MailChimp to express themselves to the world.
While there are a lot of email distribution options out there, MailChimp is, by far, my favorite. First off, it's easy to create beautiful email campaigns. Second, its user interface is really intuitive and user-friendly. Most importantly, the "free" version is quite extensive.
Pablo is the simplest way to create beautiful images that fit every social network perfectly.
If you're looking for a simple tool to create graphics with text, Pablo is a great resource. You can quickly search for images or use one of the defaults, add your text, and download the perfect size image.
Pixlr is a free online image editor.
Pixlr is a free simplified image editing program. There are two versions: Pixlr Editor allows you to "work in layers, replace color, transform objects, and more – all from your browser," while Pixlr Express lets you "apply a quick fix or add a personal touch with creative effects, overlays, and borders."
Word Swag automatically turns your words into beautiful photo text designs.
Word Swag is similar to Pablo, yet different enough that I regularly use both. I can't explain why, but sometimes I'd prefer one over the other. The biggest difference: Word Swag is exclusively available as an app (Android or iOS).
Doodle offers a wide selection of online solutions that radically simplify the process of scheduling appointments, ranging from the group event "poll" that doesn't require registration to the professional appearance with own branding.
Doodle is the easiest way to schedule a meeting! Once you select available dates and times, you can send the poll to potential attendees. People select their availability and you can select the best time. It makes scheduling a breeze!
With Google Calendar, you can quickly schedule meetings and events, and get reminders about upcoming activities, so you always know what's next.
You probably already knew about Google Calendar, but there are two things I'd like to point out. First, it's "designed for teams," meaning you can give access to multiple people; creating a master calendar has never been easier! Second, it's a great way to embed your public calendar on your website.
Social Media
Buffer began as an easy way to schedule tweets in 2010. Now, we are honored to be considered one of the leading social media management tools.
When it comes to scheduling and queuing social media posts, Buffer is a really great tool. Putting all your social networks in one place, Buffer's offerings range from a somewhat limited "free" version to a massive full-blown enterprise version. And, if the free version doesn't cut it, nonprofits get a 50% discount on their entry-level "Awesome" plan.
From finding prospects to serving customers, Hootsuite helps you do more with your social media marketing.
Very similar to Buffer, Hootsuite is a social media scheduling and analytical tool. In my opinion it's focused a bit more on marketing than Buffer, which makes it more useful in some settings than others. Also like Buffer, their packages range from free to enterprise.
Wix unites beauty and advanced technology to create your stunning website. It's easy and free.
Wix is an intuitive click-and-drag website design option. Although it boasts a "free" version, you'll want to pay for one of the ad-free versions.
WordPress is the most popular online publishing platform, currently powering more than 26% of the web.
If Wix doesn't cut it for your website, take a look at WordPress. It's incredibly versatile and arguably the best web design platform. WordPress is open-source, meaning it's free to use (although you'll need to pay for your domain, hosting, etc.). To see some church websites I've created in WordPress, click here.

Full-Service Insurance Agency
Since our establishment in 1957 by my grandfather, Charles W. Skeele Sr., our company has grown to be a full-service insurance agency. My father, Win, joined the business in 1972 and I followed in 1977. Brothers Shawn and Shea came on board with the agency in 2001 and 2003, respectively. The agency currently serves over 7,000 clients in Madison, Onondaga, Cortland, Chenango, Oneida, Cayuga and Tompkins counties from offices in DeRuyter, Cazenovia, Chittenango, Manlius, Moravia and Waterville.
While our client network stretches well beyond these counties, we are strongly committed to personal service without regard to account size and location. We are an independent agency providing the products of several national, regional, and local insurance companies to satisfy all of your insurance needs. We work for you, offering the best coverage at the most competitive price.
The Skeele Agency is a firm of proven and licensed professionals that are certified in the insurance industry. We are a FOUR GENERATION FAMILY business that has been in existence since 1957. Watch our video on what makes Skeele Agency different
Our goal is to provide reasonable insurance products to close potential financial risks that have been identified – doing this promptly, professionally, and with a smile! We offer a toll-free line, are reachable 24/7 for emergencies, and provide accessibility through the internet and social media outlets.
You will find all of the Skeele Agency staff active in our various communities as coaches, in civic groups, school and church activities, community organizations, and even politics. We believe in doing business and being involved LOCALLY!
Thank you in advance for considering us for a no-obligation review of your insurance needs. We work hard to earn your business and keep it!
Michael J. Skeele, CIC, CPIA
Early Years…
In 1957 Col. Charles W. Skeele (the Colonel) retired from the Air Force after serving his country in three wars including WWI, WWII, and the Korean War. That year he began the Skeele Agency from his briefcase and home on East Lake Road on DeRuyter Lake. He had a small farm where he raised beef cattle and grew crops. The business grew over the years as the Colonel focused on life policies. Charles W. Skeele Jr (Win) joined his dad in the business in 1972. Win was a public school math teacher for 13 years, but decided to join the family business and helped move it towards a full-service agency, selling all lines of personal insurance.
In 1977, Michael Skeele (Win's oldest son), joined the company after graduating from Morrisville college with a business degree. Once Mike joined the office, the agency grew by selling and servicing all personal lines and offering commercial products. The Agency purchased the insurance businesses of Wesley Lewis, Duane Skeele, Basil Conway, and Lloyd Holdredge over the next few years and experienced steady growth. In 1979, after a fire that destroyed the office in Charles's house, the office relocated into a newly renovated house across the road. This property was later added onto as a residence for Win and Connie Skeele.
In 1995, Bob and Jeanine Denkenberger sold the Gutches Agency to Skeele. The current office building, in the village of DeRuyter, was built at this time and remains the home office for the agency. Mike Skeele, Christine Newton (2002) and Shanna Pelcher (2010) are fully licensed, certified insurance professionals that will assist you in the DeRuyter office with your insurance needs.
Cazenovia Expansion…
In 1985 Win, Connie, and Mike, with guidance from the Colonel, decided to expand into the village of Cazenovia (what is currently Common Grounds Cafe). From there, the office moved to the Atwell Mill Building in the early 90's, where it was until the fall of 2014. The agency purchased the historic "White Lilacs" building at 9 Albany Street in Cazenovia, where you will find the office located today. Shea Skeele (Win's youngest son) came to the agency in 2003 from the communication industry with a decade of sales and management experience. He is joined there by Maurine Brown, who rejoined us in 2015, and are both licensed certified professionals. Win, while retired, still comes in and helps out occasionally when needed and maintains his license.
Agency Expands to the yellow brick road in Chittenango…
The Skeele Agency purchased the Allan Granish Agency in 2000. Shawn Skeele (one of Win's middle sons) was welcomed into the Skeele Agency in 2001. He brought 13 years of business ownership and management experience to our organization. In 2003, our Chittenango office moved 149 steps south on the same side of the street to the bottom floor of the old Masonic Building.
In 2011, we purchased and renovated a building that is now our current office location across from the hardware store/post office. The new space was needed to accommodate our growth of the agency, including the purchases of the PKB Insurance Agency and Fudesco-Jones Agency – both formerly of Canastota. We gained a more visible location with the new office and a sign along with easy vehicle access and parking. Matt Skeele (Mike's oldest son) joined us in 2011 and represents the 4th generation Skeele in the business. Deborah Stowell joined us again in 2012 after working for us years ago. Together with Shawn, they represent an experienced, licensed, and professional group of agents ready to assist you with solving your insurance needs.
Skeele Agency opens fourth office in Manlius…
In February 2002, the agency purchased the Ernest and Cooper Insurance Agency and its building. The location is at the corner of Smith Street and Fayette Street (Rt. 92) across from the Swan Pond. Extensive improvements were undertaken on both the interior and exterior of the structure to bring it to its present condition. We wanted to enhance the property in the community, taking pride in continuing to provide insurance services to local residents and businesses. We were recognized for our efforts by the Village of Manlius in 2003 and 2009 with the Swan Business of the Year Awards.
Shayna Gersch (2007) joined our staff with several years of experience with full licensure in the insurance business. In 2011, the Stam Agency was purchased in Dewitt and moved into the Manlius office. Mike and Shayna can provide solutions to your rate issues, coverage problems, and general insurance needs.
Skeele Agency expands to Oneida County…
On August 1, 2009, the Skeele Agency purchased the Morcy-Morehouse Agency in New Hartford, bringing us to five locations in the CNY region, and the first located in Oneida County. The Morcy-Morehouse was a two-generation family run agency with a deep history of exceptional insurance service in the New Hartford/Utica area. On August 1, 2015, six years after moving to New Hartford, we relocated the agency to the current location on West Main Street in Waterville. With a majority of the in-office clientele being from the Waterville area, we felt it was the right decision to move the agency closer, but we hope to have a physical presence back in the New Hartford/Utica area in the near future! For your insurance questions and needs, the solution providers, besides Mike, are Jennifer Tehan (2010) and Jan Kelley (2011). They are both fully licensed and certified insurance professionals with many years in the industry.
Expanding to the Finger Lakes Region…
In March of 2016, we purchased the Tregaskis Agency located at 10 Central St in Moravia. There are a large amount of logging and construction policies that were written in the office, and we are excited to continue servicing those and writing new logging accounts. Matt will be joined there by Jacki Boyden, who has over 30 years in the insurance industry, and Lisa Bancroft, who worked for the Tregaskis Agency in the past and is familiar with the clientele – All three are fully licensed for all policy types. Along with continuing to write and service the logging and other commercial accounts, we look forward to growing the personal lines business with the 30+ companies we bring to region.

Have you ever tried adding a softer fish pieces to a curry or thick stew? Usually you end up with finely broken pieces of fish swimming around in the sauce. Annoyed by it? Me too.
Unless you are extremely careful when adding and stirring, fatty cuts of salmon, cod, soles and other whitefish have an unfortunate habit of not staying together when added to sauces–and even with care the chances of the fish pieces staying intact are poor at best.
I encountered this when I first started making fish curries–in particularly an otherwise excellent Salmon Curry by author Das Sreedharan. In it he instructs the reader to add cubed salmon to the finished curry until cooked then to stir in coconut milk to finish. I tried to make this dish several times, only to be met with tiny bits of fish spread evenly through the curry instead of the rich savoury salmon chunks shown in his accompanying illustration.
If nothing else I can be a bit stubborn, so I modified the dish with a simple trick and the result was fantastic–so much so that my family won't have it any other way. The trick, which I've applied to other delicate dishes, is to shallow fry the fish pieces (after marinating and a light dusting of chana flour) before adding them to the finished curry. The fish chunks come out moist and just burst with flavour in the mouth. Along the way I've tweaked the curry a bit to create a very memorable if somewhat different dish from what Sreedharan originally created.

- 1-3 Tbs Sambal oelek or 2-3 small fresh red chilies minced
- 2 tsp Cumin seed, ground
- 3 tsp Amchur powder
- 1/2 tsp Tumeric, ground
- 1/2 tsp Chilies or Indian paprika, ground
- 3/4-1 c Tamarind liquid (see method/notes)
- 1 12oz can Stewed or diced tomatoes, or 2 whole tomatoes diced
- 1-4 tsp Palm or brown sugar to taste
- Salt to taste
- Part 1: Fish
- Prepare the fish with an optional 15 minute salt cure (see notes)
- Cut fish into approximately 1″ cubes and set aside
- Whisk together remaining marinade ingredients in a medium bowl
- Add the cubed fish to the marinade and stir lightly to coat
- Transfer fish and marinade into a plastic bag, remove air and seal
- Let fish marinate for at least 20 minutes. While the fish marinates prepare vegetables and other ingredients for the curry
- Setting the fish aside, combine the chana flour, salt and pepper in a shallow soup bowl or similar container
- Remove fish cubes from bag, wipe off excess marinade, roll in flour mixture to lightly coat
- In a wok or medium saucepan add cooking oil for shallow frying–approximately 1/4″ deep, and heat over a medium-high element
- When oil is hot, carefully add the fish cubes (about 6 at a time) and fry on all sides until golden brown
- Transfer cooked fish pieces on to a plate layered with paper towel to absorb excess oil and place in a warm oven (approximately 175 F)
- Repeat process until all the fish pieces are cooked
- Add 1-2 Tbs oil to a wok or deep bottom saucepan and heat over a medium-high element
- When the oil is hot, add kari leaves, mustard seeds and fenugreek and cook for about 30 seconds until the leaves and mustard seeds stop spitting
- Lower the heat to medium and add the onions, sauteing until soft or lightly brown (about 10-20 minutes)
- Add garlic, ginger and sambal and stir for a minute or two
- Add remaining dry spices and stir for another minute
- Add tamarind liquid and tomatoes and stir until well combined
- Reduce heat and let simmer until the tomatoes are well softened and the flavours have combined (about 20 to 30 minutes) adding water as required to prevent the dish from drying out
- Taste and add sugar as required to balance the sourness of the tamarind
- After the curry is finished add the fish pieces, stirring gently to combine and heat
- Serve the dish in a suitably sized bowl
Part 2: Curry
Notes: It took a while to write this one up because of the steps involved, but it's really less work than it would seem. Salt curing the fish before cooking is an optional step, but one that changes the texture and firms the fish up. I'll write more about this in a separate post, but essentially it involves lightly covering the fish pieces with kosher or pickling salt, wrapping them in absorbent paper towel or cloth for about 15 minutes, then rinsing the salt off under cold running water. It adds very little salt to the finished dish, but changes the texture and allows the fish soak up any marinade it's placed in. The tamarind liquid is made by placing 2-3 Tbs of tamarind pulp in a cup of boiling water. Leave it to soften for 5 to 10 minutes before breaking it up with either fingers or a fork, then strain the water and pulp through a fine sieve pushing as much pulp as possible through the sieve. You'll end up with slightly less volume than you started with, but the result is a delicious sour-sweet liquid called for in many South and Southeast Asian dishes.

alex, book bogger, book reviews, Camille Verhoeven, crime books, mybookjacket, pierre lemaitre, thriller reviews, translated books
Alex is book two in the Camille Verhoeven series by Pierre LeMaitre. The author is a French novelist and Screenwriter and, I believe, is very popular in France. European books are something I'm very curious about but since I'm limited myself to Scandinavian authors I thought I'd expand my horizons by reading a French book that isn't a classic. I spotted this on Simon's (Savidge Reads) booktube channel and he raved so much about it that I grabbed it immediately. Now don't misunderstand me when I say failed to be impressed, it was a 3-3.5 star for me. Just not as amazing as others, mostly men, seem to think it is. The story was honestly horrifying, especially the reasons and the past that I felt nauseous for the most part.

Medical questions & health advice by board certified doctors
"What is making my nose bleed so much?"
I am 18 years old and have started having trouble with nose bleeds. I get about one a week and it doesn't seem like anything triggers them, they just happen out of nowhere. Why is my nose continuing to bleed?
Sorry to hear that you are having such a bad problem with nose bleeds. Unfortunately, this can be a relatively common problem, especially in your age group. What I mean by that is there are many different hormonal changes that are taking place during adolescence (teen years) that some think affects the blood vessels in our body, particularly in this case within your nose. You see, there are lots of tiny blood vessels within the mucosa (lining) of your nose. They are what allow production of mucous, good immune response, etc. Unfortunately in some people they can also lead to epistaxis (nose bleeds). If you were washing dishes and your hands dried out and the skin cracks, it will bleed a little, but will stop relatively quickly. Mucosa in your nose on the other hand has much more blood flow to it, so when it dries out and cracks, it will bleed much more. This pattern of drying and cracking/bleeding, then drying and cracking, etc is particularly common in the drier climates and in the winter months (as it becomes more dry). That is my best guess as to what is going on inside your nose. I would recommend making an appointment to see an ENT to get checked out initially to make sure that there isn't something else going on, but on average, this is the most common cause of epistaxis. They will likely give you some different techniques/medicines to maintain the moisture within your nose, and may even cauterize a small blood vessel (if present) in the office. Best of luck and I wish you all the best.

film: Hero
Hero 3/5
Jet Li plays a famed swordsman who apparently kills off three deadly assassins who were trying to kill the king of Qi, one of seven territories in ancient China.
The swordsman is granted a private audience with the king where he recounts his story. This subtitled film is mostly told in flashbacks.
Like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Hero features sword fighters who fly through the air, and defy gravity. The action is such that realism was not a goal here. The massive army of Qi marches on a calligraphy school to kill two of the aforementioned assassins in a spectacular hail of arrows. Released in simultaneously, the arrows emerge from the troops in such huge quantities and so close together that they look like clouds. Some of the action scenes are unintentionally funny and a reminiscent of what we saw in Kill Bill..seriously. Look for the scene for the cup of water in the library.
Many scenes are color coordinated. Witness the scene with Moon and Flying Snow. Moon is out to avenge the death of her master, and lover Broken Sword. Flying Snow commands vortexes of yellow leaves that constantly fall like snow to repel Moon. Suddenly, they all turn red at key moment. Several scenes are visually stunning, but they don't make up for the poor script to make this a must-see film.
Director Yimou Zhang fails to draw the audience in, though, with a truly compelling tale. There are moments of apparently deep significance with the relationship between swords and calligraphy, but it merely washes over without being profound.
Some people are touting this 2002 release (also on DVD from Amazon.com) as being Oscar material but it is too tedious and dull, in my opinion. I found myself anxiously waiting for it to end, actually. If you liked Ang Lee's superior Crouching Tiger film, be aware that this film is nowhere near as compelling.

Join Us On Our Journey To Create A GREAT IndieGoGo Campaign
It takes a little money to run a successful fan funding project. Give a small amount to help us run a SWEET IndieGoGo Campaign.
It's been a dream of Savannah's and mine to create a project - a magnum opus, our chef d'œuvre - since the height of our career in '99. We have three really good ideas of what this masterpiece will look like but it's gonna take money to make it a reality. And we want to run an IndieGogo campaign to get the money, but turns out you need money to run a crowd funder too.
Lots has changed since we rose to regional fame with our hit single "Two Hearts, One House" - radio is in a tailspin, Mp3s are all the rage and few people sent us forwarding addresses to update our once impressive mailing list. Then I heard about this crowd-funding fan-sourced way of making music and well, to be honest, I was lost. But I did my research and it turns out that these things occasionally work. And one thing I learned via all my research is that you need to treat a fan funding campaign like a small business. Well, just so happens I know a thing or two about that from running our band all through the Nineties before Mammoth Records took over everything we owned and sucked us dry. But I often digress. Point is, if we want to fund our magnum opus we need the money to run a great IndieGoGo campaign and that's why we're asking for just $325 to do it.
The $325 breaks down like this:
Blog posts from people who have run successful (and not so successful) IndieGoGos say a good, eye-catching video is key to meeting your monetary goal. Well hallelujah! Savannah and I are masters of visual art as well as the auditory. All we need for this is some equipment (camera, tripod, a mood light - we already got the mics!!!) $100 We need to hire someone to shoot this thing, but fortunately we live in Reseda within a stones throw of about 200 wanna-be directors and cut-rate Tarantino disciples. $50
I'm going to dedicated 8 hard working hours to managing the IndieGogo. I make $14.15 p/hr at Guitar Center so that's $88 after taxes (Yep 88, Cali taxes are steep hombre).
In my research on fan funding I also learned that ya have to pay to promote things to your loyal base on Facebook. So we're going to dedicate $87 to that Cartesian Circle to get the word out via social media.
$325. Not much. We've given a lot of music and memories to you, you've given back your adoration. Now we want to give you something really special, so help us do a rock-solid IndieGogo to make it happen!

The "Fast" Side of Bi-Modal IT: An Opportunity for Service Providers
by Steve Jeffree, Managing Director, Alsbridge
Today's IT landscape is characterised by an increased focus on a "bi-modal" approach to management, whereby CIOs make a conscious distinction between "run the business" services on the one hand, and "change the business" services on the other. The run the business or "slow" side of IT oversees stability, security and up-time, and places a premium on rigorous testing and process discipline. The change the business or "fast" side of IT, meanwhile, is all about flexibility, agility and a fail fast mentality.
While these dual streams of service delivery are well established, the recognition that different types of processes, organisational structures and financial controls are needed for each signals a heightened level of management maturity, as well a recognition of the increasingly ubiquitous role of IT in business. From a sourcing perspective, clients have traditionally worked with service providers to address run the business/slow IT requirements. By contrast, change the business/fast IT activities have typically stayed in-house within the domain of the internal IT organisation.
Why have outsourcers not played a more prominent role in change the business IT functions? One fundamental obstacle is the established model of outsourced service delivery. Service providers typically prepare and submit a proposal for a specific scope of work, execute the agreed-upon services and then charge a fee based on the terms of the agreement. The trouble is, this discrete, project-based approach doesn't apply to the needs of "change the business" IT, where teams quickly align and realign to services and products, and where success is rarely measured as a function of investment in a project. To take an example, a traditional sourcing arrangement simply doesn't accommodate the "fail fast" philosophy of change the business IT.
Today, some CIOs are recognising that excluding service providers from the fast side of IT results in expertise, and for service providers to deliver additional value to their customers. As a result, they're reconsidering their approach to bi-modal IT, and looking for ways to make service delivery agreements more amenable to the requirements of change the business IT.
At a high level, CIOs are working with their service provider partners to develop delivery models that assess the value that a vendor delivers to the business, and then link the provider's compensation to that value contribution. One innovative approach being taken is to dedicate service provider resources to a client's agile service teams on a long-term basis. This enables enhanced control, knowledge management and training that typically wouldn't result from a more tactical contracted resource model. The dedicated resource approach offers opportunities to innovate and develop new compensation models. As resources are invested in long-term success, value can be assessed against overall service performance rather than the traditional deliverables-based approach.
Bringing service providers into the fold of fast IT requires a change in the CIO's role to more of a conductor or orchestrator who ensures that service providers stay engaged on both sides of the bi-modal IT model. Balancing "fast" and "slow" presents a variety of new challenges, not least of which is understanding the role service providers play in delivering business value. Recognising this and building an embedded agile capability can enhance the role of providers and present the CIO with greater flexibility in meeting these demands.

Metatarsalgia is a broad term often used by health practitioners to describe pain and inflammation experienced in the forefoot.
This may often include inflammation of the capsule surrounding one or more of the joints in the ball of the foot (capsulitis) or inflammation of the lubricating fluid within the joint or tendons surrounding the joints (synovitis/bursitis). Symptoms may range from a full or inflamed feeling , a bruised tenderness or a burning or throbbing feeling around the bony part of the ball of the foot.
Pain in the ball of the foot is often misdiagnosed and therefore inappropriate treatment is often provided. An accurate diagnosis is best achieved through a thorough hands on assessment of the painful site accompanied by in direct questioning and history taking.
Overloading of the metatarsals and their surrounding structures due to abnormal leg and foot function is the commonly the chief cause of this pain in the foot. The problem can usually be easily managed by offloading the injured area and improving foot function through the use of soft full length functional foot orthotics, good footwear choices and modification of weight bearing activity that may be stressing the area.
Expected Outcome
As the symptoms and conditions can vary greatly, it is hard to estimate a recovery period. Most people with have some immediate improvement with initiation of treatment however, and gradual improvement following.

Yes folks, according to an article in yesterday's Chicago Tribune, America's craziest sheriff, Joe Apaio, has hired a burly martial arts instructor turned actor to train his three thousand person plus " posse" to respond to possible school shootings in his Maricopa County, Arizona district. Don't you just feel safer already? No? Why not, I wonder.
According to the article the training takes place in actual schools with real teachers and school children participating in the mock up. Most recently, according to the Tribune article, Arpaio enlisted actor Stephen Seagal to train his Maricopa County posse members at a school in Fountain Hills, a suburb northeast of Phoenix, with children used as stand-ins for scared students.
Now THAT should make the little tykes sleep better at night, don't you agree?
Really. You just can't make this stuff up. I don't know whether to laugh or cry at the antics of Joe Arpaio, his Hollywood sidekick and his crazy volunteer deputies. Personally, I think they should all be arrested for child abuse and the kids should be given psychiatric counseling and milk and cookies.
Training a gun toting posse in a local elementary school may make Sheriff Arpaio feel like a big man, but does it make children safer? I don't think so. Do you?

Strangest Things Found Inside People
Subscribe to our channel: http://goo.gl/9CwQhg
What do we normally find inside the human body? Bones, blood, organs – the usual stuff we all learned about in biology class. Well, these 10 individuals mentioned ahead threw everyone a curveball when they were discovered to contain some rather interesting, disturbing and just plain funny items that don't belong inside us. There's the man who went to the doctor to discover that he had been carrying around a knife blade in his head for years. Then there's the dumb crook who decided he couldn't pay for his engagement ring, so he swallowed it. Pregnancy usually lasts around 9 months, unless you're a 92 year old Chinese woman who'd been carrying a fetus for several decades. Cosmetic surgery can have people putting all sorts of stuff into their bodies. Yet, one woman showed up with some rather disturbing things in her derriere. Then there's the story of woman in the US who decided to hide a stolen gun in a rather unusual holster. Yikes. Like fish? One boy in India ended up going to the doctor and having a fish removed from his lung. Cats get hairballs and, apparently, so do humans if the story of an 18-year old and her huge hairball are to be believed. One construction worker went to the doctor complaining of a headache. Turns out an accident long before his visit had actually left something in his brain that didn't belong there. People put all sorts of strange things up their backside. Yet, one man takes the cake when doctors found a live eel where the sun don't shine. Finally, there's the case of a woman who underwent surgery and left doctors shocked with the pile of metal objects that had built up in her digestive tract. Get the Tums!

Is Breast Enlargement Important?
For most women with breast size that is smaller than average, YES! Most women are never quite satisfied with the size of their breasts, and almost 70% of them would like an increase in breast size, preferably by a cup or two.
However, going under the knife is not an option for most of such women – some because of the money associated with it and some because of the risks attached to such surgeries.
Are There Natural Breast Enlargement Methods Available?
Contrary to the popular belief, there are plenty. However, only a handful of these have been clinically proven and can boast of testimonials from satisfied individuals. Once online, you can find almost a million of such methods, but believing in all without verifying the results and with clients would be foolhardy.
Apart from breast enhancement exercises (which are not very effective if not done rigorously for stretched periods of time) breast enlargement creams are the best method available to help increase breast size. While phenomenally cheaper than breast enhancement surgeries and similar methods, their effectiveness in improving your bust-line may take weeks, even months to surface.
Triactol Breast Enhancement Serum
This is exactly where the Triactol Breast Serum comes into the picture. More effective than conventional breast enlargement creams and cheaper buy the dozen, this clinically proven breast enlargement cream or solution can help you get fuller, firmer breasts faster. This is possible because of the magic ingredient in it – Mirofirm!
Mirofirm is a natural extract, acquired from the Pueraria Mirifica (which is an herb that acts as one of the most potent yet natural breast enlargement solutions). It helps in uplifting the breasts into a much fuller shape, and also helps in improving the complete size of your bosom.
Mirofirm is better than other conventional breast enlargement creams in two main aspects – time and impact. While other breast enlargement creams and natural breast enlargement solutions only promise bigger breasts, Triactol Mirofirm promises much more.
Apart from helping you get bigger breasts naturally, it also helps smoothen the skin on the breast and remove freckles and spots on the same.
Another plausible advantage of the serum is that it helps make the milk ducts robust – thus becoming an automatic choice for pregnant women and recent mothers.
Other than this, stimulation of the fat tissues is another trick that Mirofirm performs, which enables the breasts to become fuller and rounder than before. Increasing breast size, therefore, is easier and safe.
So if you were considering breast enhancement surgery, sample this – while breast surgery can get you bigger breasts overnight, Triactol's Mirofirm can get results within a month. So risking complications and a fortune is not worthy for results that you may achieve in a year or so, is it?

This French Onion Soup is way better than what I have had at most restaurants. The rich flavor of the broth paired with the gooey cheese is unbeatable!
I love a good French onion soup, especially in the Fall when you can get really good, sweet onions. This French Onion Soup is way better than what I have had at most restaurants. The rich flavor paired with the gooey cheese and soft bread is just so… mmmmm.. there are no words that can describe how good it is. Just as a little added note… when making French onion soup you definitely want to use beef consomme. You will find it adds a good depth of flavor that beef broth alone just can't provide. You can find beef consomme in the canned soup isle in your grocery store. It is usually right next to the beef broth.
French Onion Soup
- 1/2 c. butter 1 stick
- 4 medium-sized sweet onions sliced thin
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/2 tsp. Kosher salt
- ground black pepper to taste
- 3 10.5 oz cans Beef Consomme (found with the canned soups at the store)
- 1 10.5 oz can Beef Broth
- 1 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
- 4 thick slices French Bread OR 2 c. Parmesan croutons
- 4 slices provolone cheese
- 4 slices Swiss cheese chopped
- Parmesan cheese to taste
- paprika to taste
Melt butter in a stock pot. Add onions, garlic, thyme, bay leaf, salt and pepper.
Cook, stirring often, until onions are soft and caramelized (about 30 minutes).
Add consomme, beef broth, and vinegar and simmer another 30 minutes (at this point you can also transfer to a crock pot and cook on low heat for several hours).
When ready to eat, toast French bread in broiler for about 2 minutes turning once, until lightly toasted on each side. Remove from broiler, but keep broiler on.
Remove and discard bay leaf and thyme from soup. Ladle soup evenly into 4 oven-safe serving bowls. Place a slice of French bread into each bowl and top with provolone and Swiss cheese.
Sprinkle Parmesan cheese and paprika over the top and broil for about 5 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

Hi everyone! I'm quite busy preparing a calligraphy post today – a new service I'm very excited to offer! I'm still up to my neck with lettering and logo projects and I can't wait to show you the latest ones.
I did take a break, though. One moment I was working on Illustrator… the next moment I'm on Pinterest. Well, we all need a bit of eye candy, don't you think? I desperately want a new desktop wallpaper so I scoured lovely blogs and could not decide between these two.
Aren't they fabulous? You can download yours here and here.
I hope you'll check back in the next couple of days for a new calligraphy service I'll be offering!

A man was sitting reading his paper when his wife hit him round the head with a frying pan.
"What was that for?" the man asked.
The wife replied "That was for the piece of paper with the name Jenny on it that I found in your pants pocket".
The man then said "When I was at the races last week Jenny was the name of the horse I bet on"
The wife apologized and went on with the housework.
Three days later the man is watching TV when his wife bashes him on the head with an even bigger frying pan, knocking him unconscious.
Upon re-gaining consciousness the man asked why she had hit again.
Wife replied ."Your horse phoned"

A few years ago, the larger department stores (Sears, JC Penney's, Montgomery-Ward) in a major cost-cutting effort, decreased the number of full-time employees and replaced them with part-timers. In addition to being able to pay them less, they didn't have to pay for benefits, which can be as much as a third of their payroll cost. And for a time, it seemed to be working. But there's one measure of difference between people for whom the job is a career and those for whom the job is not part of their life's ambition: attitude. Shifting to part-time from full-time employees produced a shift away from loyalty, dedication to the work, and pride in what they do.
Around the same time, a similar shift occurred in higher education. In 2012, the National Center for Educational Statistics reported that the use of part-time (aka adjunct) faculty in U.S.higher education institutions increased from 23% in 1971to 50% in 2011. Most part-time instructors have no job security, no
health benefits, and no office. In a classic example of the abuse of adjuncts, Margaret Mary Vojtko, who taught French at Duquesne University for 25 years, was dismissed in Spring 2013 at 83 years old. She never earned
more than $25,000 a year, even when she taught eight courses. In her last year she was only teaching one class a semester. And when she was dismissed, she had cancer. She did not have a pension and did not receive any severance. She died that August.
Early last December I received a notification from the local community college where I teach that I had been assigned to teach three classes for the current semester--two 'live' and one on line. I also received assignments to teach two online classes for another school located out of the state. All of these classes were different, so I declined one of the latter and told the local school I would like to keep the live classes, but drop the online class. That would leave me with three assignments--plenty to do since I'm involved in other projects outside of teaching.
The schools complied with my request and so I spent the last half of December and the first two weeks of January preparing for the remaining two live classes. That means setting up a schedule, getting ahead in the reading for the courses, and coding my Dr. Write web site with all of the material the students would need: syllabus, schedules, assignments, calendar, resources, etc.
A few days before the beginning of the current semester I received an
e-mail saying that one of my live classes had been taken away and given to a
full-time instructor who had a class that didn't 'make.' My
assignment was reduced to one class. This is a common practice at most schools. (The e-mail from the dean simply said: "I apologize for the inconvenience.")
I see that situation as analogous to the free-lance writing I used to do for various
magazines. That process involved submitting a proposal for a piece,
having it accepted, submitting the article, and getting paid upon
publication. Sometimes, though, the article was cut; however, recognizing
that the writer has spent the time and effort to produce the piece, the
magazine provided what's known as a 'kill fee,' a portion of the
payment. It's a much-appreciated courtesy.
But there is no 'kill fee' or compensation for an adjunct who does the preparation work for a course only to have it 'cut.' The implication is that a full-time teacher is worth more than a part-timer. And that's true if you consider that they are paid more, easily five to ten times as much per class as an adjunct. Furthermore, adjunct salaries vary widely from one school to another. (My pay for teaching online for that school in another state is one-third higher than what I'm paid for teaching online at a Tennessee community college.) But are they worth more to the student?
Full-time faculty often have had little or no experience in "the real world" of their subject and they are often unfamiliar with what's happening in their discipline outside the academic environs. (I know of only a few English teachers who were ever employed as writers or editors, history teachers employed as historians, math teachers as mathematicians, etc.) Syllabi for courses often include goals relating to real-world situations, but quizzes, exams, and other evaluations are often lacking that connection.
Frankly, I don't see any of this changing soon. I do my best to bring my experiences in business and industry into my classes and connect it to the skills I teach. But it's hard to generate enthusiasm and loyalty to an institution that doesn't reflect that value-added feature. And how will Obama's free community college plan be funded? Did I hear someone say "More adjuncts?"
The other day I asked the full-time teacher who was assigned the class I had taken away if the administration gives her a choice of adjunct classes to choose from. She shook her head. "Sometimes they do," she said, "and sometimes they don't." And added with a shrug: "I'm just a peon."
I smiled and nodded. "Well," I replied "if you're a peon, what am I?"

Real Simple Concept: People Pay More For Convenience
The easier you make it for people to do business with you, the more business you'll get.
Microsoft has some really awesome technology. I am a personal fan of Outlook, xBox 360, and AdCenter. Nevertheless, these products come with a ton of headaches. Follow me:
Hard To Do Business – New PC In The Home Ad is by far the worst ad of 2011. The entire ad focused on "features" and NOT benefits.
Do you think the average consumer actually gives a shit about a 512 gb hard drive? Or about a "rotating tablet?" NO! Of Course Not.
Apple get's it. Their ads focus around cool benefits, such as CONVENIENTLY updating your calendar via voice or CONVENIENTLY finding out about the weather.
Hard To Do Business: xBox Live's newest update changed the user panel for the worse. It took me 20 minutes to figure out where the profile login for my xBox Live account was located. How would the average consumer know that in order to sign into xBox Live, you have to "switch profiles". Sure, people eventualy figure it out. The result is a negative user experience.
Hard To Do Business: Outlook is very difficult for the average consumer to configure. It also has a ton of bugs in it. Once the program is working it rocks…again, bad taste left in the mouths of users.
Hard To Do Business: Microsoft's AdCenter is counter-intuitive. It took me 1 hour today to figure out how to switch the card on file and submit a payment. Last month we canceled the credit card that I had on file which caused the campaign to pause.
So I updated the card and hit save…The Ad Center told me that I needed to contact the "Support Center"
Do you see a support center tab on here? (sorry it runs off the page, but you get the point)
In order to submit a payment, you have to click through 4 pages and then click on an obscured button…It's no wonder that we've spent millions of dollars with Google but less than 10k with Bing!!
Bottom line is that Microsoft is heavy on technology and low on practical sense.
The day that they start viewing experiences through the eyes of their audience is the day that Microsoft will double its sales.

By ACCA's budget team
We have:
- Increases in the allowances for next year as announced- but a hike in 2013/14 to close in on the £10,000 target;
- a phasing out of age allowances;
- once again the mention of amalgamating tax; and
- NIC and the top tax rate drop to 45%.
For 2012-13 the personal allowance will be increased by £630 to £8105. The basic rate limit will be reduced by the same amount (£630) to £34,370. For 2013-14, the personal allowance will increase further, by £1,100 to £9,205. This is another step towards the government's aim of personal allowances at £10,000. In 2013-14, the basic rate limit will however be reduced by £2,125 to £32,245, placing many more thousands of tax payers into the higher rate tax band.
The national insurance contributions Upper Earnings Limit and Upper Profits Limit will continue to be aligned with the level of the higher rate threshold.
Income tax rates remain unchanged for 2012-13. However for 2013-14, the additional rate of income tax will be reduced from 50% to 45%. Basic rate and higher rate tax will remain the same at 20 % and 40% respectively. The dividend additional rate will be set at 37.5% from 2013-14.
Higher personal allowances for people aged 65 and over are to be phased out from 2013-14. In 2012-13 an age-related personal allowance of £10,500 is available for people aged 65 to 74, and £10,660 for people aged 75 and over.
From 2013-14, these allowances will not be increased. Also from 2013-14, the allowance of £10,500 will be restricted to people born after 5 April 1938 but before 6 April 1948; and the allowance of £10,660 will be restricted to people born before 6 April 1938.
From 2013-14, people born after 5 April 1948 will be entitled to a personal allowance of £9,205.
A consultation document on integration tax and NI will appear soon. It will look at the range of options that are available to integrate the operation of income tax and NIC for employees, employers and the self-employed.

Yikes. Egads. And substitute any other self-vituperations you typically use or can think of here in this space. (One of my six brother's wont in such circumstances finds him using a rather nasty "eff" (word) followed by "me" which I'll only reference as to illustrate how truly bad I feel about not posting for over six month's time here on the ole porkster.)
I have been ... remiss. (trying to conquer the world!)
I have been ... distracted. (trying to write new screenplays and land a new job and start a new company!)
I have been ... exhausted. (from all of the above.)
One could safely say that I've been otherwise preoccupied creating a new business that saw me traveling throughout the U.S. signing some of the truly legendary music icons of the 1950s and 1960s to my new company. I have also been traveling throughout the U.S. pitching a new company to a half-dozen VERY well-healed individuals or business groups (read, investors), one of whom owns a major sports franchise that almost made the World Series. Other groups include two billionaires. It has been heady times and frustrating days ... and wearisome seconds of seeking those investment funds and new clients and ... get this: trying to prove-up the viability of this new company. Talking to VCs and angel investors and business and investor groups comprising both the former and the latter takes literally 10x the effort of simply signing new clients. Exhausting.
I wish (I really do wish, Dear Reader) that I could tell you about this amazing opportunity with specificity that my partner and I have been trying to get off the ground. It could be a HUGE success (with literally business magazine and newspaper/Calendar headlines), or simply and horrifically and with finality crash and burn into a serious conflagration of wasted time and effort and monies (other people's mostly) and disappointment for us and our clients.
Wow. Can't believe I just wrote/admitted that. But, it's true. True for all new businesses or relationships or things worth herculean efforts. We must risk to become a or have true success in this world -- the two usually go hand in hand, no?
I'll tell you more about this business (thinly veiled, though it must be) over the next week or two. We have raised money from two non-equity sources, but only enough to cover expenses the last 12 months, and now we find ourselves on the cusp of ... success and/or failure (yes, both are possible). Crucial times. Heady times. And, knowing the many, many businesses and websites and novels and screenplays that you all have been engaged in, I know you know of which I speak (whine, complain, vent).
Just thought I'd share ... mea culpa for my absence. And, as always, thank you for your slightest interest. I truly don't know how you all juggle and multi-task your lives. I've much to learn.

One of Nigeria's most popular entertainment personalities Beverly Osu turned 24 year of age yesterday and she will forever be remembered as the girl who represented Nigeria at Big Brother Africa 'The Chase'.
She released some eye catching photos to mark the day. The photos show another side of her Beverly
Beverly Osu is a lot of things to different people. To some, she is a make-up artiste, some an actress and video vixen.
She is also known for her controversial sayings. Recall when she wrote on twitter early this year that; "The entertainment industry is full of fake smiles on the outside and real tears on the inside." Or when she said "Technically I'm single. But my heart is taken by someone by I can't call my own".
Did you know she turned 24 today? Who knew she was that young? Beverly was born on 27th September, 992. And is that a engagement ring we spot on her finger?
Below are some photos to celebrate her:Sipe Is Getting Married Very Soon

America's boating craze was going strong in the mid 1950's. It seemed that everywhere you looked individuals or businesses were jumping on the boat building bandwagon. Hundreds of fly by night boat companies came and went with only a handful lasting more than a year or two.
In 1957 two Arkansas businessmen, James Cripps and Harry Brown, decided to jump on that bandwagon and give it their all. At that time James was employed with Cutter boats in Tell City, Indiana working in the molds and production part of the company. James purchased a new Cutter Jet DeVille and brother-in-law Harry picked it up and brought it home to Little Rock. Shortly after, James quit Cutter and moved back to Arkansas. Starting with little more than a single stall garage and a dream, the brother-in-law duo splashed a mold from the Jet DeVille and the Razorback Fiberglass Corporation was born. The first boat was introduced in early spring of 1958, and dubbed the "Deluxe", but was renamed "Ski Jet just a short time later. It's sleek design and sweeping fins were an instant success. Immediately there after a fin-less model called the "All Purpose Utility" was built and was equally successful.
Originally based at 1621 1/2 South Woodrow Street in Little Rock, the company continued to grow and was purchased in 1959 by Arkla Industries. (Arkansas-Louisiana Gas) The company then relocated approximately 40 miles south to Malvern, Arkansas. There, on US Hwy 270, they built a new, modern manufacturing facility complete with it's own test lake and show room.
Under Arkla's control many different models and styles followed. Ski Jet, Ski Master, Ski Rambler, Ski Champ, Ski Cruiser, Lake Fisher, and Mallard were among the first models, with the sporty Fury & luxurious Explorer cabin cruiser coming into the lineup in '64. 1966 saw several tri hull and fishing designs, with names such as Angler, Sportsman, Imperial, Ranger, Medalist, & Challenger. The Ranger was offered in both outboard and i/o models, while the Imperial was offered only as an i/o model.
Eventually the company was purchased by Ouachita Boats, sometime around 1968. The Malvern facility, although no longer boat related, is still in use today as a dock leveling company. The original storage racks where Razorback boats were once stored are still visible from the highway. If you look close enough you can almost see the rows of colorful new Razorbacks waiting patiently to be transported to their new owners.

Catching 3000 whispers.
35% of the world's 7000 languages have less than 50,000 speakers; we are in danger of losing these languages if we don't act to preserve them. Working with Google.org and the Alliance for Linguistic Diversity, we built a web tool that brings together the world's knowledge on this topic to better highlight the jeopardy facing over 3000 languages in the years to come. If you have some translated text, a voice recorder or a camera, you can also upload pieces of these languages through our simple upload feature, preserving the language before it's too late. Doing the hard technological work to make it easy to take action: this is what Vizzuality does.
June 2012.Check it online
The main part of the website is an intuitive, interactive map that allows users to explore languages by location, level of threat or number of speakers
We used Django and a number of techniques to build a high performance front-end able deal with the large audience
Latest activity and other social features recognise and promote user contributions to documentation
While language can be considered an integral fiber that connects a community, the Web is what connects the world today. And a new website, called the Endangered Languages Project, aims to connect and collect the most current and comprehensive information about the more than 3,000 endangered languages of the world
The site features videos and an interactive map. The curious can click on any one of the dots that hang over each country (including a suprising number in the U.S.), each representing a whole language

JUSTICE SECRETARY Kenny MacAskill has today announced further amendments to plans to create a single Scottish Police Force and a single Scottish Fire Service. The amendments aim to tackle some of the criticisms levelled at the Scottish Government's plans over the lack of accountability and fears the Police Service in Scotland will become as politicised as in the rest of the UK.
Scottish Government Press Release :
Improving police and fire reform
Amendments to ensure police and fire reform plans are as robust as possible have been announced by Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill today.
The series of Stage 2 amendments to the Police and Fire Reform (Scotland) Bill have been tabled by the Scottish Government, listening to recommendations from the service, staff associations, the Justice Committee and others.
The amendments aim to improve and strengthen the legislation which has already been agreed in principle by the Scottish Parliament. They include:
* Ensuring the Chief Constable is consulted by Ministers before the strategic police priorities are determined
* A requirement for the strategic police priorities to be laid before Parliament
* An amendment to give the Chief Constable responsibility for preparing the Annual Police Plan with a duty to report on progress against the plan to the Scottish Police Authority
* Amendments to the Police Investigations and Review Commissioner including clarifying the role of the Scottish Police Authority and Chief Constable in referring serious incidents
* Allowing the Chair of the Scottish Police Authority and Scottish Fire and Rescue Board to be appointed independently from other members to ensure openness and transparency
* An obligation to ensure members of Scottish Fire and Rescue Board act in a way that is transparent, accountable and reflects best practice.
Mr MacAskill said in a lengthy statement : "This Government is absolutely clear that moving to single services is the best way forward for Scotland and the best way to protect frontline police and fire and rescue services, the 35-year low in recorded crime, the 50 percent reduction in fire deaths in a decade and the 1,000 extra officers we have put on our streets since 2007 while the UK Government prepares to cut 16,000 police officer posts. The Police and Fire Reform Bill has already been agreed by Parliament in principle. It is a strong piece of legislation, but this Government has always said that we don't have a monopoly on wisdom. We have worked closely with the service, staff associations, trades unions and local government and have formally consulted the public twice to shape our proposals. We have listened, we are listening and we will continue to listen.Meanwhile our commitment to bring forward the appointment of the Chief Constable and Chief Officer to ensure early certainty and lead the services through change is a key example of this Government responding to concerns. This was one of the key issues identified by a range of stakeholders and will help ensure a smooth transition. Many of the proposed amendments have been raised by the service, the Justice Committee and others and we are more than happy to take their advice on board to clarify and strengthen the Bill and ensure that this legislation is as robust as possible."

Simulant Development
One of the first lunar simulants after Project Apollo, Minnesota Lunar Simulant (MLS-1), appeared in the 1970s and 80s. In the 1990s researchers at Johnson Space Center (JSC) developed an alternative lunar simulant called JSC-1. Other simulants emerged, but like JSC-1 most are basaltic in composition. They were intended to model the regions of the Moon called "Mare." Mare, the Latin term for "seas", are the dark areas on the face of the Moon. While trying to simulate a single region of the Moon, the different simulants had different properties.
JSC-1 has since been depleted, so MSFC has funded a small business, Orbitec to create a replica called JSC-1A. It comes in three types based on grain size (fine, medium and coarse). As of May 2007 over 10 tons of JSC-1A and 1 ton of JSC-1AF simulant has been dispersed to different customers and more is still in production.
Logic of the MSFC Simulant Development Program

Coconut Oil for Hair and Skin!
8 comments:
Hello Steff! I am your new follower, really like your blog. OMG, your hair is so shiny <3<3. Petunia is super adorable! It would mean a lot to me if you follow my blog,ReplyDelete
xoxo Nika
Best.Blogpost.Ever! My hair/skin/everything is so oily it's disgusting. I'm actually really excited to try this. When you used it on your face did it help out with the oily-ness? And when you put it on your hair did you kind of massage it in like shampoo or gently cover the hair?ReplyDeleteReplies
With my face it actually made me break out the first few times, but that's not because it was clogging my pores. It was because I was on an antibiotic for Bronchitis and there were so many toxins in my skin that the organic product was drawing the toxins out. Kind of gross, I know! Every morning I slather this stuff all over my body. It helps with stretch marks, scars and evening out skin color. It isn't greasy and really keeps your skin moisturized. As for the hair part, I literally spooned out a huge glob of the oil and as soon as it hit my scalp it started melting. I massaged the rest of it in and slathered it everywhere! The longer you sit with it on, the better. This is probably going to be a weekend ritual for me, as just today the frizz started to come back. I was able to take a tiny bit out of the jar, melt it in my palms, and put a small amount on my ends and crown. Then, wa-la! Good as new :)Delete
Stretch marks too? Girlfriend, I'm going out this week to get it - no lie. I saw the repin on pinterest about epsom salt - totally trying that out. I've realized lately that most of us are always on the go and truly taking care of our bodies becomes more of a chore than anything else which is really sad. My skin is like a 13 year olds, so I'm making it my new goal to take better care of it.ReplyDelete
Side note since I think you said you had sensitive skin also... When you went from living in Fred to Bmore, did your skin breakout from the difference in water quality? Whenever I house sit for people or spend the night at the boyfriends my face turns into a warzone. Did you have that problem?
Yes! When I moved to the city it def. changed. What took the biggest hit on my skin was coming off of birth control. Total face warp!ReplyDelete
Great review, Im always scared by the idea of putting oil on my skin for some reason, did you have adverse effects at all?I love this kind of post that helps the readers to build up their natural cabinet.ReplyDelete
