Cherry furniture is furniture made of cherry wood, a rich, warm-toned wood that adds mood and natural ambiance to any indoor setting, according to Manchester Wood. Cherry wood can possess undertones of purple, gray and red, according to Houzz.
A room with a red, brown or purple color palette would suit cherry furniture, according to Houzz. Cherry furniture can come in lighter or darker shades with a natural cherry or heritage cherry finish. Lighter shades of cherry wood in a room provide it with a modern look, while darker shades give off a more luxurious feel, according to Manchester Wood.

A history in physical activity
I was having a run at McRitchie the other day, and it occurred to me that I had started the long and slow physical decline that would continue for the rest of my life. It's hardly edifying to know that everything's downhill from now on. So I thought I'd think back to all the times when I pushed my body to physical exertions.
There was very little of it before I was 12. I knew that my father jogged a few times every week, and I used to marvel at him for doing so. But keeping fit was something that was quite foreign to me, and I thought that it involved a strength of will that I didn't have.
There was this one incident, though, I was 8 and occasionally, we went to East Coast Park to cycle. During those days, it was a nice place, and the largest park in Singapore. (This was before it got over-commercialised, and before it got taken over by the homeless.) We were all curious about the milestones, so one day I rode the bicycle all the way to 0, which was probably around Tanjong Rhu. I could see the city skyline from there. (minus OUB centre, minus UOB centre, and a lot of other buildings that weren't yet built). At that time, I didn't know that Tanjong Rhu was going to feature again in this tale.
I wasn't ever a sportsman. I was, and still am, physically clumsy. My sister was better at sports. She played softball for her primary school, and was a frenemy of a certain person called JK who will appear in this story again. When she was 12, she actually embarked on a school tour to Malaysia. It was something more adventurous than anything that I had experienced up to that point. My father was a farmer in his teens, and in adulthood he still had a pretty impressive set of biceps. In contrast, for myself, up till I was 12, my physical activity was limited to police and thieves during recess.
OK, there was swimming. I was a fast swimmer when I was 8, and I won a few medals at the local club. But that was as far as it went. I think I didn't continue to become competitive, although it was always a form of exercise.
When I was 13, that was when my father decided to teach me how to do some long distance running. There were a few times when I didn't manage to last the distance. I would start off fast, but there was no consideration about how long I could last. It took me a few times to get it right. And even though I did participate in the annual cross country runs with everybody else, it was probably not until I was 16 that I became comfortable with running on that McRitchie track.
What I do remember is the scout camps. When I was 14, I joined the scouts. It wasn't my intention to join the scouts. But they made it a rule that everybody had to either join a sport or a uniformed group. In other words, something that is physically strenuous. Because my mother had been a girl guide, she thought that I should join scouts. The people who joined scouts were those who couldn't cut it in sports. You didn't join a sports ECA unless you had talent.
They told us that the scout camps were going to be tough. In fact they were a lot like military camps. And I didn't really have the physical preparation for it. The first one took place in a school near Yio Chu Kang road. There were plenty of runs, plenty of push-ups. I don't remember doing much scouting at all. And there was this run, I'll never forget. We had to carry 5kg bags and run. I was dying. I remember having to cook our own meals using kerosene stoves, and making a complete hash of it. I remember that soft drinks were banned, so we just drank a lot of water. I found a bag of sugar, though, and I often stole spoonfuls from it. Disgusting, I know, but still…
I remembered, though, that this was around the time when my sister was having her back operation. She had scoliosis, and one of her shoulder blades jutted out like a camel. This may or may not have had something to do with how one of her legs was longer than the other. But that operation spelt the end of her being a sportsman. No more softball, no more squash, and no more running, except on dirt tracks (concrete's too hard.) And she was lucky not to be in the 5% of cases in these operations where the people ended up as quadriplegics.
So as tough as that 3-4 day camp was for me, I thought about my sister who had it much harder. And I suppose the camp came to an end for me. I couldn't get out soon enough.
Later that year, I went on an orienteering trip. We were supposed to run to 3 or 4 checkpoints, over a distance of around 10K. My legs gave out at the end, and I experienced such serious cramps for the first time: later on I was told that not only did I have to replenish myself with water, but also with salt. That was a good piece of knowledge to have.
There were other camps. There was a camp where we had to run all the way from the campfire of a sister school to East Coast Park, carrying 5 kg as well. We were dying as well. Just as well they let us off easy once we had gone to the beach. I remember running past the McDonald's near the National stadium, thinking that it's a nice place to hang out at night. I remember that I had just listened to David Bowie's "Life on Mars" for the first time a few weeks earlier, and I was playing it to myself as the sun rose (I have an inbuilt walkman).
I actually recall the scout camp at the end of that year the most vividly, but that was no longer an introduction to physical fatigue.
A large portion of what physical training was about was preparation for national service. So much than when national service was over, I was thinking, "well what was all that fuss about?"
In the build up to national service, the main thing was to concentrate on passing the fitness test, so that I would not have to go in 6 weeks early, and so that I would actually have a vacation in between my "A" levels and the national service. I don't remember much, but the pull ups were a main thing. The other station was the sit and reach, and because I didn't have the flexibility, I actually grew my fingernails by 1 cm to make the cut.
The details of my national service are remarkably hazy. I think, once I'm past the age of 25, I can no longer look back on any part of my life with reliable clarity. First was the punishing basic military training. It was not as punishing as what it was 10 years before I went in, but it's nowhere as soft as it was 10 years after. It was a mid period of a gradual softening.
I will most probably remember the mental stress of adjusting to life with people from vastly different backgrounds from my own. But the physical bit was punishing too: getting up early in the morning, going to bed late at night. No napping. The weather was always hot. The physical training was always tough but what made it even tougher was that your muscles were all aching at the end of the day, and you would still have to strain them even further.
There were the big 3 things we had to complete in order to pass basic military training, over an above the military stuff: the rifle range, the physical training and the standard obstacle course. I had height, which was a great advantage for the standard obstacle course, but I don't know why I was one of the fastest in my platoon, in spite of not being particularly strong or a particularly good runner. I suppose I was pretty handy with the monkey bars, or I knew how to pace myself, or I was just good at running with a standard battle order.
There was the 24 km route march. It wasn't particularly tough, and very few people dropped out. I admired the Muslims who had to endure that through Ramadan, but as I was to find out later on, exerting yourself on an empty stomach isn't particularly tough.
It's true that I was physically exerted during my national service. But it was never like what it is during my first scout camp, where I was – let's say – a virgin to physical punishment. It was just a load getting heavier and heavier, but it was not traumatic.
The 3-4 weeks I had with an air defence unit were even tougher. It was a totally crappy system which was completely user- unfriendly. Deploying it involved moving a lot of heavy equipment around within 10 minutes. We did the drill over and over again, and there was a lot of sadistic punishment. Mercifully a horrendous but not quite horrendous injury ended my stay over there.
There was not much else that was really significant about my military training. Those 3-4 weeks were the worst of the lot. There was still some training in the school of infantry specialists to come, which I didn't really enjoy. Especially one night where we were supposed to dig a trench in the middle of the night. But by that time it was mainly mental fatigue, it was about getting thoroughly sick and tired of the military life.
I also ended up back in air defence. Since there was so much emphasis on arm power, we did pull ups every morning. My maximum was 14 pull ups. Then after I left the army it quickly declined to 6. And now I'm fighting to make it stay at 4, or else I don't pass my physical tests.
When I finished the 2 years and 4 months, it felt funny. Ever since I entered the scouts, there was this subtext – get yourself fit, otherwise you will suffer in national service. Almost everything had been geared up towards being able to manage national service. But all those years of preparation only really matters during your first 3 months of national service. After that, your body adapts, and you will cope, no matter what. (And if you don't cope, you just get a long term injury and subsequently get rewarded with clerk work.)
After that was college. One of the things I wish I found out early in my college life, and not only halfway through the 3rd year, was that you just had to exercise 2-3 times a week. Otherwise, depression takes hold of you and housework doesn't get done and homework doesn't get done.
During the 2nd year, though, I fell in love. There was this week, I just wanted to go running every day. I did push ups at night. Maybe I just got that taste of endorphins and I just wanted more more more. But it didn't amount to a steady regime yet. This "thou shalt exercise once or twice a week" was a commandment that I have stuck to for the last 10 years, although during the last year, it has faltered more than a few times.
For 5 years, a group of people in my office got together for basketball games. They didn't always start off as basketball games, there was a lot of soccer in the beginning. One of the players was my sister's old friend JK, who turned up as Sniper's friend's wife. I didn't have strength, and I didn't have skill. I was a fringe player at the best. But I knew how to read a game, and all those last minute blocks and crucial interventions did have their impact on a game. I figured that it was the last time I would ever have the opportunity to play ball. Basketball eventually won out over football when the numbers of that gang dwindled to the point that there were only 6 of us left.
For some reason I never bothered to play ball when I was in secondary school - probably couldn't get past my awkwardness. But it was good that I had the opportunity. Although that didn't stop me from deciding one day I had enough of Sniper sniping at me. I left that gang for good. I don't know how long they carried on after that. I thought that Sniper was too fussy about who was in that gang, otherwise there were a lot of people who were willing to join that bunch.
3 of the people in that gang were the Real Madrid of 3 on 3 basketball. They won every title in the club for 3 years in a row.
2-3 years ago, I made a go for the half marathon. There were a few people in my office who had done the marathon. Some did it 20 years ago, some did it recently, some did it many times, some did it only once. I didn't think the marathon was for me, so I did the half marathon. Later on, after succeeding, I began to seriously think about the full marathon, especially on the urging of my jogging partner. I promised myself that I would do it once: no more and no less.
The fact is, you can carry on running for an indefinitely long time as long as you don't get injured. After 30 km, your body runs out of fuel, but if you know how to properly replenish yourself, and if you can condition your body properly, you can keep on going after that. And you can keep on training for as long as you can so long as you don't get injured.
But in both the year of my half marathon, and my full marathon, I did get injured. 4 weeks before the half marathon, I got a very deep gash in my knee. And I missed 2 weeks of training. I still managed to go all the way. For the full marathon, I found out, to my horror, that I got injured quite often if I were to run for more than 20 km. I switched away from the McRitchie gravel track to the pavement of the streets, and that helped.
Anyway I've blogged all about this before, shortly after I finished that marathon. I suppose this would be the greatest and the last big bout of physical activity in my life. In a way it was full circle: my legs gave way around the 27-28km mark, at Tanjong Rhu where more than 20 years earlier, I had done my first long distance event by cycling 8km on a little boy's bike.
I think, after that, my physical fitness would go downhill. I think it already started going downhill while I was training for the marathon. I noticed that it was more tiring keeping late nights. There was a spring in my step that I ran the half marathon with, that was no longer there by the time I progressed to my full marathon.
I think back on talking to an old colleague of mine. He told me that he played a lot of football in his youth. I couldn't picture it. I suppose I have to always remind myself: all these physical feats you did as a young man will one day disappear.

Sarah Jane Smith and her gang are back with more alien-busting adventures in the fourth series of Doctor Who spin-off The Sarah Jane Adventures, returning to CBBC in autumn 2010.
Series 4 sees the Eleventh Doctor (Matt Smith) make a guest appearance in two special episodes which also unite Sarah Jane with another of the Doctor's former companions, Jo Grant (Katy Manning).
CultBox caught up with co-producer Phil Ford to find out more…
Can you explain what your role as co-producer on The Sarah Jane Adventures involves?
"Co-producer on the show really means I get to have some kind of a say in stories other than my own. TV is a collaborative business. At scripting stage, it's all about developing the best story from the writer – along with the script editor, producer and exec producers, I'm just another part of that process."
You've written a new story for this series, 'The Vault Of Secrets' – how long does it take you to write a story for the show?
"Oh, Lord! How long does it take to write an episode – from idea to final script? How long is a piece of string? Really. Some of these stories have been hanging around in my head for years. The idea of doing something with a Gorgon certainly had. 'The Vault Of Secrets', though, probably took a couple of months from idea to finished script. Maybe three. It's been a busy year (having done one and a half series this time) so it's difficult to keep track!"
How early on in the planning of Series 4 did you know you'd have Matt Smith as a guest star? Following David Tennant's story in Series 3, would you like to see an appearance by The Doctor become a regular event each series?
"We pretty much always knew we were going to bring Matt into the series. And it was wonderful to have Russell [T Davies] come back and write that story. But I'm not sure about bringing the Doctor into every series. We have to remember that this is The Sarah Jane Adventures, and Doctor Who is another show. Crossing the boundary is fun every now and again, but I'm not sure we should do it all the time.
"This was a great opportunity for Sarah Jane to meet the new Doctor – and to meet Jo Grant – so there was a good reason for this story. But I'd be wary of him coming back too much; it just starts to look like a stunt. Schedule-wise for the two shows it can be a logistical nightmare, too. Having said that, I'm sure he'll be back again some time. I hope we see Jo again, too."
And how about appearances by previous Doctors? It'd be amazing to see Tom Baker with Elisabeth Sladen on Bannerman Road!
"I think there's a part of all of us that remember Lis and Tom together that would love to see the Fourth Doctor turn up one day. And who knows?!"
Now that Doctor Who and The Sarah Jane Adventures no longer have the same show-runner, do you still see the two shows existing in the same fictional universe? (For instance, did Luke, Clyde and Rani also forget about the Daleks due to the crack, etc.) Or do you try not to worry about these things too much?
"The wonderful thing about this universe is: it can be any universe! Make your choice. Which universe do you want it to be? Is it a universe that looks just like the one with the crack, but isn't? How would we ever know? I think I'm skating the issue here!"
Without giving too much away about the Series 4 finale – intriguingly titled 'Goodbye, Sarah Jane Smith' – hypothetically can you imagine the show continuing if Elisabeth Sladen ever wanted to leave?
"Hypothetically, yes, we could continue to do the show without Lis. Whether we would want to is a completely different matter."
Tommy Knight has said that Luke "comes back every now and again" after leaving for university at the end of Episode 2. Will we see a full-time replacement for Luke at some point?
"Who knows? Unlike the Doctor, I can't travel into the future! Watch this space."
Have CBBC expressed any concern about the characters edging away from the channel's target audience as they get older?
"The characters get older, yes. But the stories don't edge away from our target audience. The other thing to bear in mind is that the kids who watched 'Invasion Of The Bane' have also grown up a lot, too. So, in a way, the show remains contemporary and relevant to them. And younger kids coming to the show since it started see Rani, Luke and Clyde as older brothers and sisters. CBBC don't have any worries and nor do we."
Was your recent LA trip Torchwood-related by any chance? Would you like to write for the show again?
"I'd love to write for Torchwood again and I think the new trans-Atlantic version will build on 'Children Of Earth', but my LA trip wasn't connected to the show, although I did hook up with RTD for a great night out (and a chat about SJA)."
Were you pleased with the success of Doctor Who: The Adventure Games? 1.6 million downloads is pretty impressive! Will you be involved with the second series of the games?
"I was blown away with the success of the games. They hugely out-performed expectations all-round. We found a great new way of telling stories. And, to answer your next question, I'll probably be onboard for next year's games."
How far underway is Series 5 of The Sarah Jane Adventures?
"We have three episodes in the can. And they are corkers! Series Four has been great, but wait til you get a load of Series Five. Oh, boy! Next time round we really go for it!"

One thing everybody knows about Carolyn, our recycled paint guru, is that she has a very strong and very diverse love of music. Pass by the paint room one day and you might hear Hazel Dickens clucking out old timey tunes. Pass by another and zone out to Pink Floyd. To say that Carolyn is an eclectic listener is putting it mildly. Not many people can jump from Boy George to George Strait with equal levels of appreciation.
Twice a week, Carolyn works in the ReStore's paint room checking, filtering, mixing and packaging our donor's leftover latex paint. Every gallon she creates gets a name, and if you pay attention, you'll see many references to bands, titles and lyrics in her paint name choices. We lost several important voices in the music industry this year and our recycled paint department was an homage to their work.
Because we are remixing paints that are donated to the ReStore, we do not have the ability to duplicate paint colors. Each color is unique and can only be reproduced through color matching technology at Lowes or Home Depot. But, unlike the big box stores, our paint comes with a $11/gallon price tag.
Help us keep Carolyn busy! Please drop off your leftover latex paint at the ReStore Monday – Saturday from 9-6. Remember, we don't have the proper permits to handle oil-based paints. If more than soap and water are required for cleanup, we can't take it. Click here to learn more about our remixed latex paint program.

In regards to using the services of an attorney, belief is surely an necessary element of the romance you want to build. You might want a law firm which you can experience cozy with and who seems really able of managing your scenario. This may get a while to search out, so seem carefully!
A very good idea to keep in mind when serious about hiring a lawyer is usually to generate down various queries that you prefer to question him or her. You'd like to determine what their philosophy is and the like, and asking issues should help offer you a obvious concept about them.

When My Son Beats Me
I'm crazy about my boy. I'm not suggesting this is unique as I'm sure almost all fathers feel this way about their sons, but it's a super intense and awesome feeling to love someone in this way.
Last year, when my boy was only 10-years old, I let him draft in my annual playoff pool for the first time. He didn't receive any special help and had to draft like the rest of us. He ended up beating me by one point.
It's very, very early, but if I glance at the current standings of this year's pool, I see my 11-year old leading the pack. Heck, he's already 15 points up on his uncle Steve. And it looks like he'll only lose Subban and Kessel heading into the 2nd round. He's in pretty good shape.
You'd think I'd feel a little like Homer Simpson, but I don't. I'm damn proud of him and I hope he kicks my ass.

Mike. I know the feeling. I remember the first time my son beat me at Chess and Quake (legitimately). It was a proud moment.May 9, 2013 @ 8:40 PM
Get ready for more future ass kickings Mike. I always took mine with a great sense of pride also.May 9, 2013 @ 8:46 PM
My 5-year old beat me at Mario Kart Wii the other day..legitimatly. The kid got 48 coins in battle mode to my 21, he was so happy he started doing a victory dance...I wept just a little :)May 10, 2013 @ 8:07 AM

In his first season, Broten was selected as rookie-of-the-year while helping his team win the 1979 NCAA championship. He then took a season off to join the U.S. National Team, an experience that culminated in a gold medal victory at Lake Placid.
He then returned to the University of Minnesota in 1980-81 where he was selected to three All-Star teams and received the Hobey Baker Memorial Award as the top U.S. collegiate hockey player.
From there, he advanced to the NHL, joining his hometown North Stars in time for a playoff run to the Stanley Cup finals. For Broten, it marked the start of more than 13 seasons with the Stars that included a 105-point campaign in 1985-86 -- becoming the first American-born player to break the 100-point plateau.
Broten remained with the Stars until being traded to the New Jersey Devils in 1994. By the following season, he had his first and only Stanley Cup in hand. He closed out his pro career with the Kings in 1996 followed by a brief return to the Dallas Stars where he retired in 1997.
All told, Broten remained with the Stars' organization for 15 of his 17 big-league seasons. He is the franchise's all-time leader in scoring, assists, games played, seasons, shorthanded goals, playoff games and playoff assists. His number 7 was retired by the Dallas Stars in 1998. As well, he was inducted into the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame in the year 2000.

Too long absent updating the happenings of the Screaming Avocado gang. This past November we had Alain Rosica Matamoros of Ristorante Belvedere dal 1933 travel from Frascati, Italy to share his culinary wisdom and skills with the students. While in Stratford Alain took the lead of a Culinary Club Dinner and guided the students as they prepared an incredible menu for our guests. Check out the photos of the dinner on the Rundles blogspot - Gastronomía de Italia @ The Screaming Avocado.
While it's been a quiet year due to the educational issues in Ontario, the Screaming Avocado is moving forward with a few exciting adventures. Presently we're putting in an aquaponics system in the green house. The aquaponics will join the organics we're growing in conjunction with a local organic farmer Ryan who will be working with the students.
At the same time we're setting up Adopt a School program that links restaurants/chefs with local elementary schools.

10 June 2016
Y&R South Africa's Cape Town office and partners recently celebrated the release of the final instalment of a three-part documentary series on #Operation45, a project that followed the progress of two small boys who received life-changing surgeries to correct their cleft lips.
Operation Smile is a medical charity that provides free surgeries to children born with the condition, but they face a big challenge in South Africa. Most people think it's a complicated procedure, but it takes as little as 45 minutes – the length of half a soccer game. Since soccer is a sport that many South Africans understand, Operation Smile South Africa, Y&R South Africa and partners launched a mass awareness campaign and performed a cleft lip operation on each of the boys during each half of the Soweto Derby, Africa's most televised football match. Influencers were selected to share the first of the three-part documentary series and pregame, halftime, and postgame TV spots were aired to encourage South Africans to follow the initiative.
In the first instalment of a three-part documentary series, released on the #Operation45 mobisite and Soccer Laduma, viewers were introduced to Ofentse and Alexzander, their families, and the struggles they faced before the operations. The second documentary was a behind-the-scenes look at the surgeries and sequence of events on game day, which powerfully captured the emotions of two mothers witnessing the lives of their children forever changed. The final documentary, which was recently screened at an event at the Grand Daddy Hotel in Cape Town, stunningly captured the end result – two smiling, happy baby boys who no longer struggle to form words or eat porridge.
"#Operation45 is an integrated campaign that truly pushed us as an agency to innovate and to elevate our creativity for the sake of genuinely improving people's lives and changing behaviour," says Graham Lang, Chief Creative Officer of Y&R South Africa and Africa. "With over 22 million engagements across platforms, and a significant increase in patient sign ups and volunteer interest on the mobisite, the proof is in the pudding and we are truly humbled that the campaign has had such tangible positive results."
Tamlin Abrahams, Regional Director of Operation Smile South Africa (OSSA), adds that the mobisite will remain a long-term platform to register children or to donate to the cause. "We hope that the documentaries will live on and that they will continually inspire audiences through Ofentse and Alexzander's journey. It's not the final whistle yet," she concludes.

One of the most important aspects of any story, long or short, is character development. Ask 5 different authors how they take care of this, you will get 12 different answers. Maybe some of them will work for you, and maybe some won't. The part to remember here is that each character is their own individual and they will often have their own ideas on where they want to go.
Now, this works out well if you have no idea where you want the story to go. You can just let the characters take themselves where they want and write it as it goes along. Most authors have plans though, and when characters start going off on their own direction, we get testy.
For me, the best way to avoid this problem is to work with the characters and get to know them better. Then you know how they will react in certain situations and you won't be surprised at how they fight, beg, or bluff their way out of it.
I've recently took a character from four or five years ago, who was the first one I ever created: my vampire Drake. He remains one of my favorites to write, but was a true Marty Stu when I created him back when I was 14. By giving myself challenges such as "write a story with only two lines of dialogue" or "only use dialogue", it really helps to get to know him better, and discoveries about Drake and his motivations truly come to the foreground.
I challenge you to write your own vignette using a character of your choice. See what you can discover about them that might make for an interesting plot hook later. Remember, if you don't like it, you can always refuse to use it in later writings. But you might be surprised at how it can end up being useful.
If interested, below is the challenge of "using two lines of dialogue". Up to you if you want to read it though.
Drake stared at the two humans dancing together in the nightclub. In the shadows, he could barely be seen but he was able to watch everything in the club without being noticed. He saw them writhe against one another, arousal scenting the air from both of them, mingling with the other smells of the club. Stale beer, fresh wine, and blood pumping away centimeters beneath the surface of the skin. His teeth iched and her ran a tongue over them to calm it for a bit in order to find his meal that night.
The dancers would notice if each other disappeared. They weren't on his plate for tonight.
His gaze moved to a lone woman sitting at the bar. She looked despondent, depressed and completely lonely. With a smirk slowly slinking onto his face, he sauntered over to her and took a seat at the stool next to her. "Guinness here," he told the bartended, letting his accent get rougher and hold more of a Cockney accent than the North London one he actually had.
It had the desired effect, he noted, when the woman perked up next to him. He pretended to notice her for the first time and gave her one of his smirks. "And a fruity drink for the lady here."
When the drinks came, he held her enthralled with conversation, slipping touches in here and there to bring her attention back to him whenever it was wavering. He played her like an instrument, knowing which buttons to push, and read her like a book, knowing the exact words to say, the correct emotion to reveal to her in order to get her to trust him more.
While others might have said that it was a waste of time, it made the hunt even better for him. There was actually a challenge to it.
She told him around 1am that she needed to go, that she had work the next day. He asked her if he could walk her out, protect her from all the horrors of the night.
She nodded and took his offered arm and he smiled at her, though his eyes glinted. He asked her if she had a boyfriend and acted affronted when she told him no.
With a joking grin, he asked about a girlfriend and she just laughed.
It proved impossible to try to hail a cab at this hour, so he offered his car to drive her home in. She agreed and the two walked away from the club together.
Ten minutes later, he walked back alone, hunger sated, as he took a seat on his motorcycle and took to the streets before the body was even cold.
To those in the states, have a Happy Labor Day. For myself… I'm off to work.

text: A Lebanese national who lost his leg due to an Israeli cluster bomb [AP] Awareness Stoere said: "I see no reason why countries who have signed on to that treaty would not sign on to this one because what we are talking about here is the anti-personnel landmine all over again." Cluster bombs can contain a range of munitions that can be dropped from aircraft or fired in artillery shells or rockets. These contain hundreds of sub-munitions that spread out across wide areas. The bomblets sometimes fail to explode during combat and can pose a threat to civilians for years after a conflict. Advocacy group Handicap International cites 11,000 documented cases where civilians have been killed or injured by cluster munitions over the past 30 years. The US was not present in Oslo [EPA]Israel's use of cluster munitions in its conflict with Hezbollah in Lebanon last year heightened public awareness. 'Indiscriminate is indiscriminate' Nobel laureate Jody Williams, winner of the 1997 peace prize for leading the anti-landmine campaign, said: "Indiscriminate is indiscriminate whether it is a landmine, a cluster bomb or a nuclear weapon. "Any indiscriminate weapon is illegal under international law." Munitions-producing nations, including the US, Russia and China, have resisted a ban. Stoere urged governments to forge a plan to reach a legally binding treaty to address all the "unacceptable consequences" of cluster bombs by 2008. Stoere said the treaty should ban the use, stockpiling and proliferation of cluster munitions and provide for clearing them, destroying stockpiles and helping affected nations. At the start of the meeting, Austria announced it had adopted a cluster munitions moratorium. Norway also has a moratorium and Belgium has banned the weapons. SOURCE: Agencies

One for the Footnotes
In 2010, Bob Dylan asked screenwriter Jay Cocks to write a screenplay based on Dylan's song "Brownsville Girl," which the singer-songwriter had co-written with Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Sam Shepard.
On Dylan's latest album, the blood-soaked Tempest, he returns the favor, basing the the title cut not only on history but also a screenplay co-written (albeit uncredited) by Cocks: Titanic.
As for that "Brownsville Girl" script, Cocks wrote it, Johnny Depp and Brad Pitt were at various times rumored involved, and, as these things often go in Hollywood, nothing more has thus far happened.

Cycling braces itself for more revelations in Armstrong drug scandal
Tyler Hamilton, the American cyclist who has accused seven-times Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong of being at the centre of a doping scandal involving his US Postal team, has warned that further explosive revelations are about to hit the sport.
More accusations: Lance Armstrong, seen here racing in a recent triathlon, is set to be the subject of more drug revelations
In an exclusive interview with The Mail on Sunday, Hamilton insisted that allegations in his recent book, The Secret Race, were just the tip of the iceberg — and that the imminent publication of a new dossier of evidence against Armstrong, gathered by the US Anti-Doping Agency, will silence those who had criticised Hamilton.
'The truth is coming out,' said Hamilton. 'A lot of what I've said to USADA is in my book. All of it is confirmed by others. There's more to come. Put your seat belt on!'
Armstrong claims never to have failed a drugs test, and certainly no failed test has ever been made public.
But USADA's charges against him — which he has decided not to contest — include the possession, trafficking and administration of drugs as well as the 'use and/or attempted use of prohibited substances and methods including EPO, blood transfusions, testosterone, corticosteroids and masking agents'.
Reports in the United States suggest USADA may also have positive blood samples historically provided by Armstrong. USADA's own charge sheet against Armstrong says 'numerous riders, team personnel and others will testify based on personal knowledge'.
Armstrong is an icon of American sport who recovered from cancer to win his Tours and amass millions of dedicated fans and an estimated £80million fortune.
Biding time: Armstrong's former team-mate Tyler Hamilton says 'there's more to come'
But in his book, Hamilton alleges that he, Armstrong and others cheated over many years by using EPO, blood transfusions and other illegal substances.
The book describes the ease with which competitors took drugs and evaded being caught. Hamilton also claims that Armstrong tried to intimidate him into silence.
The two men last spoke when they met by accident in a restaurant in Aspen, Colorado, last year, while Armstrong was under investigation by the FBI, with whom Hamilton was co-operating.
Hamilton alleges that Armstrong told him that day: 'When you're on the witness stand, we are going to f***ing tear you apart.'
The New York Times reported that the federal authorities requested CCTV footage in case the incident constituted 'witness tampering'.
Hamilton said yesterday: 'What happened in the restaurant was way over the top. It was very uncomfortable, completely bizarre. That should never have happened. It was a bully tactic and Lance Armstrong has been known as a bully.'
Hamilton explains how, around the same time, when it was known that he was co-operating with the FBI, he and his wife, Lindsay, had the 'eerie' experience of being followed. This, he recounts, left them feeling so 'vulnerable' that they kept a baseball bat beside the front door.
Happier times: Lance Armstrong (right ), seen here in action during the 2004 Tour, allegedly told Hamilton 'When you're on the witness stand, we are going to f***ing tear you apart'
Hamilton said: 'There were some moments when we were being followed. Strange things were happening to phones and computers and you put two and two together.
'We've had death threats, too, by email. That comes with the territory, I guess. I had to treat these things seriously and report them. But it could be anybody. There are a lot of fans of Lance Armstrong who, for many reasons, have been upset.
'Some people didn't want to hear [about Armstrong's alleged doping]. They don't want to know the truth.'
The truth remains enormously uncomfortable for cycling to swallow.
It is now known that for every big-name rider who tested positive in the sport's 'dark era', including Tour de France winners Bjarne Riis (1996), Jan Ullrich (1997), Marco Pantani (1998), Floyd Landis (2006) and Alberto Contador (2007, 09), there were umpteen others cheating. Armstrong, who won every Tour from 1999 to 2005, is the biggest name never to admit to doping.
Dark era: A huge swathe of Tour winners have admitted doping between 1996 and 2005. Armstrong is the biggest name to completely deny the charges
Hamilton said: 'I can't speak for every individual but it's fair to say the majority of the peloton and the majority of team-mates I had over the years doped to some degree.
'Between 1997-2004 — that's eight years at the top and the period when I competed in the Tour de France — only two riders spoke out against doping, and that says a lot.'
Those two riders were France's Christophe Bassons and Italy's Filippo Simeoni and they became pariahs for breaking the sport's code of silence over cheating.
'At the time it would have been hard to stick up for these guys,' said Hamilton.
'I went with the flow [against them]. I saw what happened to them. They were outcasts. I wish back then I'd had the strength and integrity to do what was right.'
Hand on heart: The seven times tour winner (left) denies any wrong doing but is no longer formally contesting the allegations
Hamilton finished as high as fourth in the Tour de France, in 2003, and was in the top 100 finishers in sport's most punishing race in seven consecutive years. In his book he confesses it was drugs that allowed him to be truly competitive at that level. He stopped riding in 2009 after being handed a second ban for doping.
Hamilton alleges in his book that Armstrong told him in 2001 that he had tested positive for EPO during the Tour of Switzerland. Hamilton says Armstrong was not bothered as: 'It has all been taken care of.'
Cycling's world governing body, the UCI, has always strenuously denied that it ever played any role in covering up failed tests. Only last week the UCI won a legal case against Landis, gagging him from repeating certain allegations against UCI officials.
Hamilton feels, however, that the UCI should be playing an active role in uncovering past misdemeanours, so that cycling can move forward as a cleaner sport. Instead, says Hamilton, the UCI's attitude to USADA appears to be 'aggressive'.
'A lot people [involved in the main doping era] are still in the sport today, whether at the UCI, in teams, team managers, doctors or riding in the peloton,' said Hamilton.
'It was a dark era for cycling and anyone who disagrees, they're not looking at the [true] picture. The only way to move forward is to explore why and how it happened.'
He adds that he would be happy to share his knowledge with the UCI.
'I'm surprised I haven't heard from them yet. I've been wanting to talk to them. They might not like what I did but, if they're not interested in hearing what I did, that's up to them. I'd be on the plane tomorrow if they want to hear from me.'
Hamilton does not know whether anyone at the UCI has read his book.
'I'm not proud of what I did but it was an important book to write,' he said. 'It was almost like therapy, peeling through the layers and secrets and lies and cover-ups … The truth is the way to go.'

Robben Island
Today we took the boat out from the waterfront to the famous and foreboding Robben Island. This is a large flat and deforested island far out into the bay at Cape Town. It took about 40 minutes in the rolling ocean to get to the island, and when we landed we had a tour around the place. There was a constant windy mist, and even though the sun was out, it was damp and cold. The island is made of limestone, and the glare in the sun hurt the eyes. It is a place that just feels a little unpleasant. Of course, Robben Island is the home to the famous prison where Nelson Mandela spent 18 of his 27 years in prison. In fact, all of South Africa's male political prisoners were kept on this island during the Apartheid years.
Our guide in the prison was a man named Benjamin, who was himself a former political prisoner. He told us about life in the prison, and the ways that the political prisoners secretly tried to organize and improve prison life. Many of the prisoners were not educated, and secret schools were created in the quarry while the men were working. The educated prisoners taught the others, from basic literacy to advanced socio-political analysis. Benjamin told us he was convicted of High Treason after he was caught trying to blow up a fuel depot; when he told us he was on the U.S. 'No-Fly' terrorist watch list, you could have heard a pin drop. His story was fascinating: he had been in school in Soweto when the police fired on unarmed students who were protesting. His pregnant girlfriend was shot in the head and died in his arms; he escaped from South Africa to Angola, where he was politicized and trained as a resistance fighter. It was hard to imagine a time when this kind of politics was the norm. But as we visited the former cells in the prison, we were able to see photos and read interviews of former prisoners. It was a very powerful experience that really drove home the wrongs of Apartheid.
We got to see Nelson Mandela's former cell, which was very small (he apparently couldn't sleep without curling up). The cell was bleak and the bars were striking. It must have been a deeply terrible place to have been incarcerated for so many years.
After we got back to Cape Town, we had lunch in the huge development called the Waterfront. This area has a blend of new buildings along with renovated wharf buildings. It is filled with shops and restaurants, and the area is a lovely place to walk. Some of the students plan to head down there for dinner and shopping on one of our remaining evenings.
We had the opportunity to go part-way up Table Mountain, to the observation deck. Table Mountain is the famous flat-topped mountain that rises up behind the city. It's a visually striking landmark, and the view from the observation deck was amazing! We could see down over the whole city and out to Robben Island. Some of the students took the cable car all the way to the top, which gave a 360 degree view over the whole area, and which took us up above the clouds. A couple of students, Brendan and Meesh, are thinking about actually trying to climb Table Mountain on our free day this weekend. (!)
Shark-cage diving has been scheduled for our free day on Saturday!

Apple has patented the mouse scanner
Today, Apple received a patent for a mouse with a built-in chromatic sensor, which can be used as a scanner. Computer mouse have moulinrouge from the unit ball to drive optical and laser sensors. In the Magic Mouse, for example, applied technologies, which allow to detect tiny changes in a smooth surface that, in turn, gives the possibility to use it without the pad.
The use of chromatic sensor (or sensors) not only turns the mouse into a portable scanner, but also improves the mouse as input devices. The invention provides for the use of LEDs, a vertically emitting lasers or other radiation sources that allow you to configure a specific length of light waves.
The light is reflected from the working surface on the chromatic sensor. Assessing the response of the sensor, the mouse can adjust the intensity of radiation in a particular place. Taking into account peculiarities of the surface of the gadget will be able to choose and modify a number of characteristics. For example, to work on a clean white table may require a higher sampling rate compared to the dark rug. Switching to a weaker radiation will save electricity.
On the casing of the mouse raspolagaetsja display where you can view the scanned images. The display can be created using the technology of OLED and other technologies. In addition, sometimes it can be used simply to increase one or the other fragment before sending data to the computer.
Experts believe that the release of such a gadget in the near future is unlikely. Now Apple more attention because of the success of iOS devices pays ecosystem touch gadgets. In addition, existing laser technology is sufficient for normal operation of the mouse. In addition, such a combination of gadgets tried to release other manufacturers, but they have a special success is not earned.

In a world where children are born as digital natives, it is more important than ever to develop their social and creative skills. Everyone is increasingly connected with each other, so why shouldn't children have access to a dedicated e-communication system?
Enter Maily
Maily is an application that makes it simple for young children to send quirky, personalised messages to Mum, Dad, their grandparents and close friends easily, rapidly and securely. Children can create messages using simple creative tools like digital pencils, brushes, photos, backgrounds, stickers, and their most commonly used expressions. Maily also allows parents and loved ones to reply to the child's messages. Most importantly, Maily has extensive built-in parental control features so that parents are in charge of who their children can communicate with.
VC investment alongside the crowd
As an alumnus of leading European accelerator programme Seedcamp, Maily had already validated their business model and gained traction when they sought growth capital through Seedrs in 2014. The team were looking to expand their team, develop cross-platform functionality and expand globally. In fact, the company had received more than they bargained for.
While campaigning for £150,000 on the platform, Maily caught the eye of Faber Ventures – a major European venture capital firm. After further discussions Faber was keen to invest alongside the "crowd" at the same valuation and on the same terms; but they wanted to invest £180,000 – more than Maily was looking to raise.
Excited about the prospect of accelerating the business quicker than originally intended, Maily cancelled their initial £150,000 campaign and re-campaigned with a £250,000 target. Investor demand was impressive as Maily overfunded their new target by 140% and raised £352,270, which included Faber's investment. The campaign represents the first time a venture capital firm invested through an equity crowdfunding platform and alongside the crowds.
Critical to the success of the round was the Seedrs nominee structure that helps ensure that investors share in the success of businesses. Faber believes that this type of investment is viable only because Seedrs acts as the sole legal shareholder on behalf of the crowds. Had Faber been required to coordinate individually with every investor, as would have been the case on a crowdfunding platform that does not act as nominee, the administration would have been too overwhelming, and Faber would have required Maily to choose between it and the crowds.
Raising more than just money
Co-founder Raphael Halberthal admits, "The combination of Faber, an investor that will work hand in hand with us and bring more than just money, and the crowd is the perfect mix." "It also shows how Europe can make things work for an early stage startup willing to grow fast and bring a new product worldwide."

Hitchcock's Bible Names DictionaryBathsheba
the seventh daughter; the daughter of satiety
Easton's Bible DictionaryDaughter of the oath, or of seven, called also Bath-shu'a (1 Chronicles 3:5), was the daughter of Eliam (2 Samuel 11:3) or Ammiel (1 Chronicles 3:5), and wife of Uriah the Hittite. David committed adultery with her (2 Samuel 11:4, 5; Psalm 51:1). The child born in adultery died (2 Samuel 12:15-19). After her husband was slain (11:15) she was married to David (11:27), and became the mother of Solomon (12:24; 1 Kings 1:11; 2:13). She took a prominent part in securing the succession of Solomon to the throne (1 Kings 1:11, 16-21).
International Standard Bible EncyclopediaBATH-SHEBA
bath-she'-ba, bath'-she-ba (bath-shebha`, "the seventh daughter," or "the daughter of an oath," also called Bathshua bath-shua`, "the daughter of opulence" (1 Chronicles 3:5); the Septuagint however reads Bersabee everywhere; compare BATHSHUA; HPN, 65, 67, 77, 206 for Bath-sheba, and 67, 69, note 3, for Bathshua): Bath-sheba was the daughter of Eliam (2 Samuel 11:3) or Ammiel (1 Chronicles 3:5); both names have the same meaning. She was the beautiful wife of Uriah the Hittite, and because of her beauty was forced by David to commit adultery (2 Samuel 11:2 Psalm 51). Her husband Uriah was treacherously killed by the order of David (2 Samuel 11:6). After the death of her husband David made her his wife and she lived with him in the palace (2 Samuel 11:27). Four sons sprang from this marriage (2 Samuel 5:14 1 Chronicles 3:5), after the first child, the adulterine, had died (2 Samuel 12:14). With the help of the prophet Nathan she renders futile the usurpation of Adonijah and craftily secures the throne for her son Solomon (1 Kings 1:11). Later Adonijah succeeds in deceiving Bath-sheba, but his plan is frustrated by the king (1 Kings 2:13). According to Jewish tradition, Proverbs 31 is written by Solomon in memory of his mother. In the genealogy of Jesus (Matthew 16) Bath-sheba is mentioned as the former wife of Uriah and the mother of Solomon by David.

Post Office Limited are in the process of trying to find a suitable replacement as the current subpostmaster has indicated he wanted to step down from running the Lenzie Post Office. Any new proposal will be subject to consultation unless they find someone to take over the shop in its present location. Earlier this year local residents welcomed the news that the Lenzie Post Office was going to stay in the heart of the community and not be moved to the Scotmid on Gallowhill Road.
Commenting Jo said:
"There were over 400 responses to the consultation earlier this year and the overwhelming majority were for the Post Office to stay where it is – in the heart of Lenzie. It is important that Post Office Ltd use the findings from the consultation to find a more suitable response to the current subpostmaster's wish to leave the business."

The idea of a thermonuclear fusion bomb ignited by a smaller fission bomb was first proposed by Enrico Fermi to his colleague Edward Teller in 1941 at the start of what would become the Manhattan Project.
Other prominent scientists openly recommended building nuclear bombs more powerful than the standard pure-fission model. Their assumption was that critical mass considerations would limit the potential size of fission explosions, but that a fusion explosion could be as large as its supply of fuel, which has no critical mass limit.
In January 1951, Edward Teller and Stanislaw Ulam invented radiation-powered ablation-drive implosion.
The Teller–Ulam design is the nuclear weapon design concept used in most of the world's multi-megaton-range thermonuclear weapons; a 1,000 times more powerful than Hiroshima's Little Boy. In most applications the bulk of its destructive energy comes from uranium fission, not hydrogen/deuterium/tritium fusion!
Its essential features, which officially remained secret for nearly three decades, are:
1) separation of stages into a triggering "primary" explosive and a much more powerful "secondary" explosive
2) compression of the secondary by X-rays coming from nuclear fission in the primary, a process called the "radiation implosion" of the secondary,
3) heating of the secondary, after cold compression, by a second fission explosion inside the secondary.

Mild cases of alcoholic hepatitis usually are asymptomatic. As the disease progresses, the damage to the liver increases and the following signs and symptoms are evident:
Diagnosis of alcoholic hepatitis begins with a detailed history about alcohol consumption. This is one of the most important evidence suggesting the development of alcoholic liver disease. In addition, the following diagnostic procedures are employed for detecting liver damage:
When the above mentioned tests fail to draw out a confirmed diagnosis then liver biopsy may be done.
The following methods are carried out for treating alcoholic hepatitis:
The prognosis of the disease would depend on extent of damage to the liver and the severity of the symptoms. If the disease has been diagnosed in the initial stages and the individual stops intake of alcohol, then with proper treatment plan the result would certainly be favorable.
However, if individuals continue to abuse their body with alcohol intake then recovery process would slow down and individuals will gradually develop end stage liver disease. In such situations, the toxins would no longer be filtered from the body causing coma and finally leading to death. Severe alcoholic hepatitis carries a general mortality rate of up to 66% [4]. The Glasgow Alcoholic Hepatitis Scoring (GAHS) is currently being used as a prognostic tool which deems to be up to 81% accurate in predicting a 28 day outcome [5].
Complications of alcoholic hepatitis occur when individuals do not stop drinking alcohol. The following are the secondary conditions noticed amongst individuals with alcoholic liver disease:
Excessive alcohol consumption causes alcoholic hepatitis. When the alcohol is broken down by the liver, it produces various toxic compounds that cause scarring of the liver tissues. This in turn causes the liver to swell giving rise to alcoholic hepatitis. In addition, other factors are also known to participate in causation of this liver disease. These include:
In the US, alcoholic hepatitis is known to affect about 2 million individuals. Women are more affected by this condition as compared to male, essentially because of the difference in the way body breaks down alcohol in both sexes. The incidence of alcoholic hepatitis strikes about 25 to 30% of the total population.
The exact physiology behind the association of alcohol and liver disease is not completely understood. With the little information that is available; it can be postulated that the byproduct of alcohol breakdown produces toxic compounds such as acetaldehyde that is injurious to the liver. The toxicogenic components cause irreversible scaring of the liver tissues leading to inflammation of the organ. This further leads to destruction of the liver cells and gradually the healthy cells of the liver are replaced by knots or web-like scars. This eventually causes loss of liver functioning paving way for development of liver cirrhosis.
The only way to prevent alcoholic hepatitis is to limit alcohol intake as far as possible [10]. It is also necessary to stay away from infectious diseases such as hepatitis C which increases chances of developing alcoholic hepatitis.
Alcoholic hepatitis is a condition characterized by inflammation of the liver due to excessive alcohol consumption [1]. Individuals who consume moderate to excess alcohol fall easy prey to this liver disease. It is necessary to avoid alcohol consumption once the disease has developed; failure to do so can cause serious life threatening complications. Malnutrition and malabsorption of nutrients contribute towards development of alcoholic hepatitis amongst the drinker's population.
Alcoholic hepatitis is a liver disease characterized by inflammation of the liver amongst the population who excessively drink alcohol, and have been doing so for several years. Once individuals develop this disease they are advised against alcohol consumption. Failure to adhere to this can cause liver cirrhosis, followed by coma and death.
Excessive alcohol consumption is the major factor contributing to alcoholic hepatitis. The breakdown of alcohol by the liver causes production of toxin compounds which are not eliminated from the body. Such series of events causes alcoholic hepatitis.
In mild cases of alcoholic hepatitis, the individuals usually experience no signs and symptoms. When the condition takes a severe turn, the symptoms include loss of appetite, undue fatigue, weight loss due to malnutrition, nausea accompanied by vomiting, fever, confusion, and jaundice, swelling in abdomen due to accumulation of fluid and abdominal pain.
Diagnosis of alcoholic hepatitis begins with a history of alcohol intake. An array of medical tests is ordered to diagnose the condition. These include blood tests to determine presence of anemia, liver function tests, CT scan and MRI of the liver and liver biopsy.
The individuals are advised against alcohol intake to arrest further liver damage. Medications are employed to reduce liver inflammation and correct malnutrition. In addition, nutrient rich food along with nutrimental supplements should be provided. Efforts should be channelized to avoid alcohol intake and individuals should be constantly monitored in this aspect.
