Sushi-like sour tasting food which includes fish has a pretty long history in Southeastern Asian countries. Originally, sushi was fermented salty and sour fish, which can be preserved. The food was introduced to Japan in the 8th century.
Those type of sushi are called nare-zushi (image to the right), and used cooked rice in between the fish to help the fermentation. Both fish and rice were eaten together when it was ready. This type of sushi still exists at some areas of Japan. Nare-zushi has little resemblance to the modern nigiri-zushi we know. I've never had a chance to try nare-zushi myself, but I heard that it has strongly fermented smell.
Nare-zushi has to wait for fermentation to take place, but the Japanese have tried to quicken the process over the time. Eventually vinegar was used to add the sour flavor instantly. Sushi's "su" means sourness or vinegar.
Currently, there are many forms of sushi in Japan. Nigiri-zushi, which are made by professional sushi chef piece by piece, are the most sophisticated form of sushi. Nigiri-zushi are deceptively simple looking tiny morsels, but it takes years of learning and training to make those properly. Japanese housewives don't even attempt to make nigiri-zushi. They can be prepared only by professionals.
However, there are several different types of sushi Japanese people regularly make at home. Chirashi-zushi, which means scattered sushi, is one of them. Chirashi-zushi is usually served in a bowl. On the bed of seasoned rice, fish, eggs, vegetables are scattered. When it's prepared at home more vegetables are used, but many different raw fish are used at sushi restaurants.
Maki-zushi (rolled sushi) is a cylinder shaped sushi wrapped in nori (black seeweed). Sushi restaurants regularly serve them and it requires some practice, but some Japanese housewives can make them quite beautifully.
Temaki-zushi (hand rolled sushi) also can be served at sushi restaurants, but can be made at home easily as self serving sushi. Prepare seasoned rice, nori (black seeweed), and fish or vegetables are put inside of the roll. Raw fish, avocado, cucumber, atsuyaki-tamago (eggs seasoned with dashi and sugar), boiled shrimp, canned tuna fish mixed with mayonnaise can also be put inside. This is great for a party at home.
Another popular home made sushi is inari-zushi (see recipe), which is recommended for vegans and children. In short, it is seasoned rice stuffed in a pouch made of tofu. The pouch is fluffy deep fried tofu called abura-age, and has a pocket inside, just like a pita bread.
Abura-age is sliced in half and stewed in sugar and soy sauce to absorb the flavor.
After I came to the United States, I started to use smoked salmon for sushi (see recipe). It is difficult to get sufficiently fresh fish here, but smoke salmon is readily available in many area. Using plastic wrap, I make bite size seasoned rice balls with a piece of salmon on the top.

Structural study of adsorption of isonicotinic acid and related molecules on rutile TiO2(110) I: XAS and STM
Publiceringsår: 2003

X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) have been used to study the absorption of monolayers of the pyridinecarboxylic acid monomers (isonicotinic acid, nicotinic acid, and picolinic acid) and benzoic acid on a rutile TiO2(1 1 0) surface. We find that the pyridine and phenyl rings are oriented with their planes largely perpendicular to the surface. The azimuthal orientations are strongly influenced by adsorbate-adsorbate interactions, which in each case leads to at least two different molecular species. In order to reach this conclusion a detailed strategy has been developed for the interpretation of angle-dependent XAS data, which does not rely on any curve fitting procedures.

You guys are all so cute! It didn't even occur to me to try to come up with a cute/neat way to tell him... lol
We decided to start "trying" in June - and honestly only did so halfheartedly, as a "practice month" - I took a test on Saturday (when I was expecting my period) and it was negative... my cue to indulge in wine all Canada Day weekend! Well when I still didn't get my period by last night - I took another test... oops! Probably shouldn't have had all that wine...
I ran into the bedroom, woke up my hubby and said "look at this, I'm pregnant!!"
I did leave the test on the counter for him and woke up to a note saying "So this wasn't a dream, I'm very happy, love you"...haha

Has anyone ever told you that weight training wasn't part of Martial Arts? I was told to stop weight training, but for specific reasons. The history of lifting, carrying, and building your strength wasn't just encouraged centuries ago. STRENGTH TRAINING WAS REQUIRED. Thats rights, all caps.. if you wanted to get any advancement or commission in the Chinese Martial Arts / Military you better get your boots on and get to work. In todays podcast, I will cover : I was given a tip on pronunciation Thank You for TaiJiBum who left me a kind review at Itunes Strength Training in Martial Arts My personal experiences as an Exercise Physiologist, Athlete and Kungfu man, The History, where I will call on our good friend Mr. Ben Judkins at Kungfu Tea Blog post.

VANCOUVER (CCN) — The author of a new book about the men who killed Archbishop Oscar Romero while celebrating mass 37 years ago says the subject is still dangerous to talk about.
Matt Eisenbrandt and a team of lawyers in the U.S. and El Salvador were behind the only successful legal case against Romero's murderers to date, and although Assassination of a Saint contains new revelations, Eisenbrandt said he can't reveal everything.
"There are people whose testimony I would love to include in the book, but it is still too dangerous," he told about 100 social justice activists in Vancouver April 3.
The case against Romero's killers began when the U.S.-based Centre for Justice and Accountability got a tip that a man linked to El Salvadorian death squads was living in California.
"What we were able to do is to bring a civil lawsuit. Our charges were extrajudicial killing and crimes against humanity," said Eisenbrandt, who details the endeavour in Assassination of a Saint.
The CJA, a non-profit that aims to bring torturers and war criminals living in the U.S. to account, began looking for answers in 2001. When Eisenbrandt joined the group as a young attorney, he found himself on a historical mission.
"This was going to be the only trial ever in Archbishop Romero's murder," said Eisenbrandt, who went on to become legal director of the CJA.
Romero, a vocal advocate for the poor and oppressed, was gunned down while celebrating mass in a hospital chapel in San Salvador March 24, 1980. A judge in El Salvador was assigned to the case, but three days later suffered an assassination attempt and disappeared.
But the CJA had a lead. In 1987 the assassin's getaway driver had testified in secret and under oath that his boss was death squad member Alvaro Saravia. That same man was seen in San Francisco in 2001. CJA went after him.
"An amazing amount of evidence already existed," said Eisenbrandt.
Lawyers in the U.S. and El Salvador also researched the complex political and military climate and looked into Saravia's superiors. While collecting evidence, a laptop with sensitive information was stolen, one American colleague was followed by a vehicle with tinted windows, and a witness in El Salvador was threatened.
Then, in 2004, they brought the case before a U.S. judge. In a guarded courtroom, they found Saravia guilty.
"We ended up winning the case," said Eisenbrandt. "He was found legally responsible for Archbishop Romero's assassination."
The judge ruled Saravia would have to pay $10 million in damages, but Saravia had fled his California home and vanished. "To this day, we have not yet gotten a penny."
None of his superiors were brought before the court. "If we were going to bring one of them into the case, we would have to have the most ironclad evidence you can imagine because these guys are multimillionaires," he said. "You can imagine the fight we would have on our hands."
Eisenbrandt decided to write a detailed account of the evidence, some of which the public eye had never seen before. However, he admits he left much out of Assassination of a Saint. "El Salvador remains an incredibly dangerous country, and even 37 years later, the Romero assassination is still very dangerous to talk about."
He added that Romero's chapter in history is far from closed. While the church looks forward to his canonization, some petitions in El Salvador are starting to surface about reopening his case.
Among the 100 audience members crowded in St. James Community Hall was Daysi Bonilla, Consul General for El Salvador in Vancouver.
"Thank you for writing the memories of my country, El Salvador," Bonilla said in halting English.
Eisenbrandt is now the legal director of the Canadian Centre for International Justice, based in B.C. More information about his book is available at http://www.assassinationofasaint.com.

Originals by Adam Grant: Favorite Quotes Part 2
"Building on a classic book by economist Albert Hirschman, there are four different options for handling a dissatisfying situation. Exit means removing yourself from the situation altogether. Voice involves actively trying to improve the situation. Persistence is gritting your teeth and bearing it. Neglect entails staying in the current situation but reducing your effort." (p. 79)
"Fundamentally, these choices are based on feelings of control and commitment. Do you believe you can effect change, and do you care enough to try? If you believe you're stuck with the status quo, you'll choose neglect when you're not committed, and persistence when you are. If you do feel you can make a difference, but you aren't committed to the person, country, or organization, you'll leave. Only when you believe your actions matter and care deeply will you consider speaking up. (p. 80)"
"The lesson here is that voice isn't inherently superior to exit. The best we can do is voice our opinions and secure our risk portfolios, preparing for exit if necessary (p. 90)"
"Even if your organization doesn't currently embrace critical upward feedback, holding an open season on leaders might be an effective way to begin changing the culture (p. 203)"
"…Envisioning the worst- case scenario enables us to harness anxiety as a source of motivation to prepare and succeed. (p. 217)"
"If you want people to go out on a limb, you need to show them that they're not alone. (p. 226)"
"It's easier to rebel when it feels like an act of conformity. Other people are involved so we can join too (p.227)."
"In his workshops, Popovic (Serbian activist Srdja Popovic lead the cause to overthrow Slobodan Milosevic) trains revolutionaries to use humor as a weapon against fear (p. 228)."
"When Harvard professor John Kotter studied more than one hundred companies trying to institute major changes, he found that the first error they made was failing to establish a sense of urgency (p. 232)."
""Instead of courage," management guru Tom Peters recommends fostering "a level of fury with the status quo that one cannot not act." (p. 236) "
"Originals embrace the uphill battle, striving to make the world what it could be (p. 242)"

Darrell M. West Vice President, Governance Studies, Brookings :
Romney's record in Massachusetts should be part of his argument why he has the experience and knowledge to be president.
In many respects, he was a successful governor operating in a difficult political environment. He had several notable policy successes that speak to his ability to solve problems. He has run a large government, which will be helpful should it make it to the White House. It is only in the crazy atmosphere of 2012 that these virtues are considered to be political vices.

What is your username? Librarian Bird.
Please link to the wiki here: growtopia.wikia.com
How many edits have you made on that wiki? Approximately 200.
How many days/months have you been editing there? 11 months.
On the Special Pages → Special:ListAdmins when was the last time an admin edited, and who was it? It's BlueDwarf, on June 27 2016.
Any other information: The wiki's got a passive community, mostly people just read & edit pages and do nothing else (they don't really know each other). I've tried creating few blog posts, yet got no answers. It actually has several active contributors, yet the forum is barren too. In the official forum of the game itself, the wiki is recognized as a good website to find information, yet it is quite unreliable since it is publicly editable.
The reason I want to adopt the wiki is so I can bring the wiki members together as a good community, and so people will recognize Growtopia Wiki as a reliable source more. Yep, I think it might not be possible for me to adopt this wiki, since it has lots of editors each week, but please tell me what I can do if the statement before is true. Thanks!
You look good and I think you are fit to become a bureaucrat. Make sure to edit every day before a staff member reviews your request. Good luck! IrisIsBestPrincess

Grade-point averages are computed on the basis of all work attempted at OSU. Graduates who have completed at least 90 credits at OSU or 60 upper-division credits at OSU, and who have an OSU cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher, are awarded an OSU degree with distinction as follows:
|Academic Distinction
|OSU GPA Range
|Graduation Honor Cord Color
|Cum Laude
|Magna Cum Laude
|Summa Cum Laude
When Spring term ends and final grades are posted, the Honors distinction will be evaluated and posted to eligible transcripts. If necessary, your diploma will be reprinted to reflect the Honors distinction. Honor cords may be purchased at the OSU Beaver Store.
Commencement is held the Saturday following the conclusion of finals week. Although Spring term final grades are not yet available, we strive to provide diplomas to as many students as possible at commencement. The Office of the Registrar collects preliminary grades for pending graduates during the 7th week of the term to be utilized for a preliminary review of degree requirements.
Pending graduates who meet degree requirements based on preliminary review will receive their diploma at the commencement ceremony. Students who do not meet preliminary review requirements are welcome to attend the ceremony but will not receive their diploma at that time.

Banana prices soar to record high
The prices of bananas have increased from 150 to 200 per cent at the local markets as compared to last year, making it harder for the consumers to purchase the fruit.
During a survey of local fruit markets, it was revealed that bananas are being sold on a high record price of Rs 200 to Rs 250 per dozen, subject to their quality, with most of them being imported.
Even very rare quality of such food commodity is available at Rs 150 to 180 per dozen in the retail market. Whereas last year, good quality of the fruit was available at Rs 40 to Rs 50 per dozen and the lower quality was sold for Rs 25 to Rs 30 per dozen.
Obviously such an unprecedented increase in the prices have forced the common consumers away from the fruit. Interestingly, banana is not only a food supplement but it also prescribed by the physicians for the treatment of children's malnutrition and other health complications such as infant diarrhea.
A labourer, Muhammad Arif said that he bought bananas for his children as it was very a cheap fruit, available at Rs 20 to 30 per dozen as compared to other costly fruits. But now it has also become costly and out of reach for poor people and even lower middle class as he cannot afford to purchase it at Rs 180 to 250 per dozen, he uttered.
A local fruit vendor informed Dawn that bananas available in the market are imported from Australia and Brazil due to a lack of routine supply from Sindh areas. But that is very costly and due to the high price, the sale of the banana declined over 60 per cent in the market, he worried.
Earlier they would sell hundreds of dozens daily but now the sale has been restricted to a few dozens only, he noted.
Some local fruit whole sellers have disclosed that the price hike and short supply is due to the destruction of the crop by floods in various areas of Sindh last year.

Even though I've written about making carbonara in the past, it's such a fundamental part of my life – and Roman cooking – that I think you'll bear with me if I post about one of my all time favorite dishes one more time.
Carbonara is one of those iconic dishes that are seemingly simple, but in reality so easy to mess up. In a dish this minimal, it's essential to get your hands on the best ingredients possible. I was thinking about this last weekend as I wandered through the farmer's market, wondering what to make for Sunday lunch. As I strolled past my egg vendor I found my inspiration.
Not only does this vendor have the most incredible eggs with the most luscious, rich yolks, he uses those same eggs to make fresh pasta. Since carbonara is all about the eggs, and raw ones at that, it really only makes sense to attempt this dish when you are not only sure of the eggs' freshness, but also of the quality. These eggs, from the Livornesi chicken breed, are known for their unctuous thick yellow yolks, full of flavor. Great in Carbonara, and great for making fresh pasta. (which, thankfully, the egg guy did for me)
My next stop was at my pork guy. While I'd usually use guanciale, cured pork jowl, for this dish, I got lazy and bought a small pack of pancetta that he had cut just that morning. While I would never think of buying pre-cut pancetta in the supermarket, I'm fine with my butcher making my life a bit easier by doing my chopping.
And finally, a chat with my cheese guy. Together we chose a pecorino that was sharp enough and aged enough to be grated and then to melt well into the final dish to form a rich and creamy, but pungent, foil to the eggs and pork.
Getting the ingredients is, however, only half the battle. Making carbonara correctly also involves technique. When and how to mix things up is the key. So to make things easier, and so that there are no excuses, I've made a short video.

Drawn and painted on a phablet, using a phabulously pressure sensitive new soft nib in a Wacom Bamboo Feel stylus.
I've taken to drawing wood pigeons as they waddle up and down outside my window. The only paper to hand is usually only memo pad scraps. Thus the screen of my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 phablet didn't seem so small when I came to doodle a pigeon in my best-known painting app, Sketchbook Pro. I do have a perfectly good Galaxy Note 8 with more screen space, but having got going on the smaller device I forgot it.
Maybe it's the high resolution and pinch-zooming to home in on detail that makes the Note 3 display seem larger than it is. Then of course you can snap back to screen size to assess the overall effect without having to dash to the opposite side of the room to view it from afar.
But I digress. What I really wanted to enthuse about was the new nib I was using for the first time in the best tablet stylus I've ever tried, the Wacom Bamboo Feel.
The Bamboo Feel stylus nib comes in two varieties, Soft and Firm. I have yet to try the Firm, but the soft is a joy to use.
I've tried many a touch tablet stylus, for both iPad and Android tablets. The Bamboo Feel is so far the best tablet stylus I've tried, far the fastest and most pressure sensitive. With a soft nib it's even better. The point remains fine and, once set up properly, pin point accurate. Ideal for drawing – and of course writing, which can be pretty dire with a finger.
In the past I've given a private snort when told this device or that is the best tablet stylus because it can respond to up to 2048 levels of pressure, varying the width, transparency or both of the line it's drawing. Surely I'm not the only one who has struggled to manage even ten variations of width on a touch screen tablet. More often it's only two.
The Bamboo Feel stylus with soft nib does give a really variable line. Let's hope it's soon compatible with more than the current limited number of screens.

I am nit crazy about this product. I find that there is not enough pigment to the strips of colours. The colour is not very visible once applied. I find myself applying the product multiple times and it is still not noticeable. The only thing that it does leave on my face is a little be of shimmer. I feel I still need to use a highlighter and bronzer along with it.

Robert Hope-Jones (1859-1914), Father of The Theatre Organ
While the Wurlitzer Theatre Organ proved to be very popular with cinema owners and the public in the U.S., the U.K., Australia, New Zealand and The Netherlands, it perhaps had a limited appeal in the rest of Europe.
In Paris, for example, only two Wurlitzer Theatre Organs were installed. Although, a number of cinemas in France haD theatre organs installed, many were manufactured by French companies (see further details, see the links at the end of this piece).
The two Wurlitzer Theatre Organs were installed at the Cinéma Madeleine in 1926 and at the Paramount Opera in 1927.
There was only one Christie Theatre Organ installed in France and this was at the Gaumont Palace at the Place Clichy in 1930. The organ was manufactured by William Hill & Son & Norman & Beard Ltd. (more commonly known as Hill, Norman and Beard) and had 4 manuals and 15 ranks.

The Theatre Madeleine was designed by Marcel Oudin (1882-1936) and opened in 1918 and was considered to be one of the most luxurious cinemas in Paris. The cinema was built with seating in the stalls, balcony and slips. During his career, M. Oudin built a large number of other cinemas, including Le Mistral, one of the oldest cinemas in Paris, and the Music Hall, the Casino de Paris. In addition, he designed a number of hotels and department stores throughout France in either Art Deco or Art Decoratif style.
Left: Marcel Oulin, as a student in 1901; Middle: Le Mistral Cinema; Right: Casino de Paris
In 1925, the operation of the Theatre Madeleine was taken over by Loew's Incorporated, the American cinema chain founded in 1904 by Marcus Loew and also the parent company of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios (1924-1959) at the time. I suspect that by now the Theatre had become known as the Cinema Madeleine.
In July 1926, Loew's Incoporated had a Style-B Wurlitzer Organ (Opus 1354) with 2 manuals and 5 ranks shipped for installation in the cinema.
The Style-B Wurlitzer Theatre Organ was a four rank instrument (Flute, Vox Humana, Salicional and Trumpet). However many of these Style-B Theatre Organs were built as Specials. The Special designation usually implied that an additional rank (Tibia) had been added, thereby making them 5-rank instruments.

This photograph appears at the website of the Puget Sound Theatre Organ Society (PSTOS)
and appears with permission of Mr. Tom Blackwell.
The history of this console may be found at their PSTOS website.
The Wurlitzer Organ Company sold many of the Style-B models to smaller cinemas following its introduction towards the end of 1921. The model remained in production until 1927 when it was replaced by the Style-140 while the 5-rank Style B Special was replaced by the Style 150
Although the Wurlitzer Organ Company produced many unique theatre organs (i.e. Specials), the company did offer a number of standard models from their stock. The most popular of which were the Styles-B, D, E, and F, which proved to be the company's biggest sellers. Between 1921 and 1928, approximately 672 of these models were produced, which represents 30% of the company's total organ sales during The Cinema Organ Era.
Style-B Special Wurlitzer Theatre Organ, Opus 1840, with 2-Manuals and 5 Ranks and was originally installed at the Regal Cinema Colchester. These photographs were taken and provided by Glen Twamley.

Unfortunately, the Cinema Madeleine experienced financial problems and the Wurlitzer Company repossessed the organ. The Wurlitzer Company rebuilt the organ and sold it in 1938 to the owners of the stately home, Stanford Hall, at Stanford-on-Soar, near Loughborough, Leicestershire. Here, concerts were given until about ten or so years ago when the building housing the organ was closed supposedly as a result of a health and safety issue. Apparently the organ is still in place although not been played for a number of years. I signed their petition started by the administration of the Hall, which they hope will eventually lead to the organ being restored and played once again at concerts.

The Cinema Madeleine eventually became part of Pathé-Gaumont, the French cinema circuit, and was re-named the Gaumont Madeleine at this time. The cinema was converted into two cinemas during the early 1970s and continued as such until the time of its closure with the subsequent conversion of the building for other use. If any reader is able to help with the date of closure, please contact me.

The second Wurlitzer Theatre Organ to be sent to France was exported in May 1927 for installation at the Paramount Theatre on the Boulevard Des Capucines. The organ, Opus 1642, was a Style H instrument with 2-manuals and 10-ranks, but without a piano. Apparently the organ remained in place until ~1970, when it was removed and apparently broken up!
I am unsure if the two photographs that follow are indeed of the console of the Theatre Organ installed at the Paramount Theatre in Paris. I would be grateful if any readers can confirm if this is the organ in question, and also, if anyone is able to identify the organist please:
What follows next is an definite example of a Style H instrument to allow the reader to see what such an organ would have looked like at installation at the Theatre:

The Paramount Theatre was built on the site of the Théâtre du Vaudeville and opened in 1927. It was designed by the architect Frank T. Verity (1864-1937). In 1893, he rebuilt the foyer and facade of the Empire Theatre in Leicester Square. He later designed a number of other cinemas and theatres in London together with his partner, Sam Beverley. His designs may be seen in the Shepherds Bush Pavilion (opened in 1923), the Carlton Theatre in the Haymarket (opened in 1927 and now a cinema) and the Plaza Cinema in Lower Regent Street (opened in 1926).
Left: Shepherds Bush Pavilion (Gaumont); Middle: Carlton Cinema; Right: Plaza Cinema
The Paramount Theatre in Paris offered seating for nearly two thousand patrons at the time of opening and continued as a single screen until the early 1970s when it was converted into a multi-screen cinema. Today, the cinema offers seven screens. According to one source, some vestiges of the original Art Deco features remain in place in the foyer of the upper floor of the cinema.
Since its construction, the cinema has had a variety of names, including the Paramount Theatre, the Gaumont Opera, the Paramount Opera, the Gaumont Opera Capucines, and as of 2009, it was renamed the Gaumont Opera.
As of 2007, the cinema has been operated by Gaumont-Pathe.
During the time I lived in Paris, I never went to this cinema. In addition to the screening of French films, the cinema occasionally showed those from elsewhere. However, these films were always dubbed into French.
In December 2014, I visited Paris and went to look at the Gaumont-Opera Cinema on the Boulevard Des Capucines in order to see what changes had been made to it.
The Gaumont Opera Cinema, December 2014
Firstly, I noticed that within walking distance of the cinema, there were now two other cinemas with the same name:
Right: Gaumont Opera (the erstwhile Paramount Theatre) at 2 Boulevard Des Capucines; Middle: Gaumont Opera (formerly The Francais Cinema, found just a few steps from the erstwhile Paramount Theatre, at 38 Boulevard Des Italians; and, across the Boulevard Des Capucines, at Rue Louis Le Grand, is the Gaumont Opera Premier.
Although there are a grand total of EIGHTEEN SCREENS between these three cinemas, I was unable to find ONE film that interested me enough to allow me to purchase a ticket! Ça alors (i.e. Go figure)!
Secondly, after going into the foyer of the Gaumont Opera (i.e. the erstwhile Paramount Theatre) with the hope of finding some of its original decor, I am sorry to say that with the exception of some decoration of the rail leading up to the upper floor, I was unable to detect any. But this of course does not mean that there aren't any. The foyer, with its machines to dispense tickets and area for the sale of sweets, drinks and popcorn, looks like so many multiplexes that now are found around the world.

KUALA LUMPUR, May 31 (Reuters) - Two women, including a Chinese national, who were kidnapped on the Malaysian island of Borneo in early April have been freed with no ransom demanded by the abductors, Malaysian media reported.
The two women, a Chinese tourist and a Philippine hotel worker, were released from an island in the southern Philippines by the Abu Sayyaf terrorist group on Friday, The Star reported. Philippine police then took a speedboat to transfer the women to Malaysian waters.
"No ransom paid to secure their release. Success due to cooperation of Malaysia and Philippines security forces," Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak wrote in a post on Twitter late on Friday.
Philippine police sources however told Reuters that a large ransom was paid for the women. It has been rare for Abu Sayyaf to release abductees without a ransom being paid.
Najib's announcement was made on a four-day trip to Beijing, where he looks to get ties between the two countries back on track after relations became strained due to the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines (MAS) flight MH370.
The kidnapping on April 3 came as Malaysia's image in China was hurt by the missing flight, which prompted China's government, media and passengers' families to launch verbal attacks on what was perceived to be a muddled response and poor communications.
The incident was followed by a dramatic decline in travel from China to Malaysia. MAS said on May 15 sales in China fell 60 percent in March in response to the loss of MH370. Most of the passengers on the missing flight were Chinese. (Reporting By Al-Zaquan Amer Hamzah in KUALA LUMPUR and Rosemarie Francisco and Manuel Mogato in MANILA; Editing by Matt Driskill)

Title: Breakdown by Jonathan Kellerman
Alex Delaware Series Book 31
Publisher: Ballantine Books
Genre: Contemporary, Mystery
Length: 368 pages
Book Rating: B+
Complimentary Review Copy Provided by Publisher Through NetGalley
Bestselling author Jonathan Kellerman has been universally hailed as the master of psychological suspense, and the blockbuster new thriller featuring Alex Delaware and Milo Sturgis confirms his status as today's preeminent practitioner of saber-sharp storytelling.
Psychologist Dr. Alex Delaware meets beautiful and emotionally fragile TV actress Zelda Chase when called upon to evaluate her five-year-old son, Ovid. Years later, Alex is unexpectedly reunited with Zelda when she is involuntarily committed after a bizarre psychotic episode. Shortly after Zelda's release, an already sad situation turns tragic when she is discovered dead on the grounds of a palatial Bel Air estate. Having experienced more than enough of L.A.'s dark side to recognize the scent of evil, Alex turns to his friend LAPD Lieutenant Milo Sturgis for help in finding out who ended Zelda's broken life.
At the same time, Alex is caught up in another quest: the search for Zelda's missing son. And when other victims vanish from the same upscale neighborhood, worry turns to terror.
As Alex struggles to piece together the brief rise and steep fall of a gorgeous, talented actress, he and Milo unveil shattered dreams, the corruption of a family, and a grotesque betrayal of innocence. With each devastating revelation and damning clue, Alex's brilliant mind is challenged as never before—and his determination grows to see a killer caged and the truth set free.
Breakdown by Jonathan Kellerman is an exceptionally well-written and intriguing addition to the Alex Delaware series. In this outing, psychologist and police consultant Alex Delaware and police lieutenant Milo Sturgis stumble onto some very perplexing murders while at the same time searching for a missing young boy with ties to one of the victims.
Although Alex's history with Zelda Chase and her young son Ovid was brief and occurred several years earlier, he agrees to evaluate her when contacted by a psychiatric outpatient facility. He is rather stunned to see the once beautiful actress's mental state has greatly deteriorated and he grows very concerned about Ovid once he learns she has been living on the streets. Deeply medicated and mostly uncommunicative, Zelda is unable to answer questions about his whereabouts so Alex enlists Milo's help in locating the missing boy. Knowing there might be a glimmer of truth in Zelda's psychotic ravings, Alex tries to separate fact from fiction after her untimely death and he quickly becomes obsessed as he tries to uncover new details that he hopes will lead to Ovid.
Sadly, Zelda quickly ended up homeless after her sitcom was cancelled and finding anyone who knew her is like finding a needle in a haystack. With little to go on, Alex tracks down her former cast mates and while he does not learn much new information, their observations reiterate his suspicions she suffered from bipolar disorder. Quickly exhausting the scant clues he uncovers, he finally gives up actively investigating her life and death, but two perplexing disappearances in the same area where Zelda died revitalizes the investigation. Piecing together the connection between Zelda's death and the two missing maids takes the case in a very surprising direction, and Alex and Milo continue to struggle to make sense of the evidence. Another seemingly unrelated death is too coincidental to ignore but finding the link between the murders is seemingly impossible.
Alex and Milo are both too stubborn to give up despite their lack of progress and initially, Alex does a lot of the legwork on the different cases. Utilizing some of Milo's police contacts, he uncovers new information about a long ago disappearance, but he quickly hits yet another dead end. Once the truth about closely guarded family secrets is exposed, the pieces begin to fall into place, but Milo and Alex are prevented from searching for new evidence by bureaucratic red tape. Alex cleverly maneuvers around the legal obstacles that stand in their way and the case is eventually cracked wide open when they uncover the evidence they need to make arrests for the murders.
Breakdown is a riveting police procedural that is full of shocking twists and turns. The storyline is complex but very easy to follow and each new development brilliantly advances the novel toward its stunning conclusion. As with the previous novels in the Alex Delaware series, Jonathan Kellerman provides enough background information about Alex, Milo and their longstanding friendship/professional collaboration that newcomers to the series will have no trouble reading this latest installment (but I highly recommend the entire series). An outstanding crime drama that fans of the genre are to enjoy.

Need to buy parts for this project?
Click here to order!
Along with the variable intake runners on the intake manifold on the Mercedes C350 the manifold also has tumble flaps. These tumble flaps on each side of the intake help swirl the air entering the combustion chamber helping with performance and economy. While the system works reasonably well, over time carbon will build up on the flaps and cause more stress on the plastic actuator arm than the system was designed to handle. This usually results in the failure of the plastic pivot lever where it meets the actuator arm. If you drive the car long enough you are going to see this part break and result in poor low end performance as well as a drop in fuel economy. Make sure to clean the manifold of excessive carbon build up on the swirl flaps before reinstalling the manifold. Excess carbon deposits can lead to inconsistent performance even after repair.
While some shops can charge upwards of $3000.00 dollars to fix this Pelican Parts sells a repair kit that will get you back up and running for a fraction of the cost.
While the repair to the actuator and pivot lever can be performed in under an hour you do need to remove the intake manifold to access the repair. Please see our article on intake manifold removal for additional information.
The actuator and pivot lever are located at the front of the intake manifold (red arrow) and cannot be accessed without removing the intake from the engine. Please see our article on intake manifold removal for step-by-step instructions.
With the manifold out you can see the complete tumbler or swirl flap system -- the actuator (yellow arrow), the pivot lever (red arrow) and the tumble flap armatures (green arrows).
The kit includes a new actuator with a metal, not plastic arm (red arrow), new hardware (pivot bolt, and push nut, yellow arrow) and an aluminum pivot lever (green arrow).
This photo illustrates the most common failure; the plastic ball joint breaks off of the pivot lever arm (red arrow).
Use a small flathead screwdriver and carefully pry the push nut off the stud that holds the actuator in place (red arrow).
Slide the actuator off the mount and separate the rubber hose from the hard plastic line (red arrow). The actuator in the kit comes with a new rubber section of hose so you can carefully cut the old one off rather than risk breaking the hard line.
Using a flathead screwdriver carefully pry both flap connecting arms from the ball cups on the pivot arm (red arrows).
Use a T30 Torx and remove the pivot bolt (red arrow). Use care as these are held in by Loctite and usually strip when removed.
With the actuator and pivot lever off check the condition of the pivot lever mount.
Install the new metal pivot lever while putting a small amount of silicone grease on the ball cup and pivot mounting bolt surface (red arrows). Place a small amount of blue Loctite on the pivot bolt threads and install and torque to 7-8 ft. / lbs.
Make sure to clean the swirl flaps of any carbon build up before reinstalling the manifold in the engine (red arrow).
With everything installed and cleaned you are ready to reinstall the intake manifold.

O2.2 Phosphodiesterase type-4 inhibitors
Cilomilast and roflumilast which are not currently available in Australia are inhibitors of phosphodiesterase type-4 (PDE-4). They act by increasing intracellular concentrations of cyclic adenosine monophosphate and causing a range of anti-inflammatory effects.
Placebo controlled studies of up to six months duration (Rennard 2006, Rabe 2005) have found that PDE-4 inhibitors attenuate decline in lung function and quality of life, and decrease exacerbations when compared to placebo [evidence level II].
PDE-4 inhibitors significantly increase the FEV1, by an order of 40 – 100ml, compared to placebo. Placebo controlled RCTs have now been extended to 52 weeks (Calverley 2009). They confirm a consistent improvement in pre-bronchodilator FEV1 and a 17% reduction in the annual rate of exacerbations with roflumilast. The effects on lung function, exacerbations and breathlessness are additive to those of long acting bronchodilators such as salmeterol and tiotropium (Fabbri 2009) [evidence level II]. A Cochrane meta-analysis (Chong 2013) concluded that although PDE4 inhibitors improve short term lung function and reduce exacerbations (OR 0.78 95% CI 0.72-0.85), they lead, overall, to marginal improvements in health related quality of life and symptoms.
Drug related adverse effects mainly affect the gastrointestinal system; diarrhoea, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting and weight loss are approximately twice as common in subjects taking PDE-4 inhibitors as in those taking placebo.
PDE-4 inhibitors are promising candidates for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Further research is required to determine their long-term impact and role when used with other treatments including corticosteroids.
A one year, multicentre, double-blind, randomised controlled trial of once daily roflumilast 500ug versus placebo in addition to a fixed LABA/ICS combination with or without tiotropium found a modest reduction in rate of moderate to severe exacerbations per patient per year, of marginal statistical significance (Martinez 2015). No change in symptoms or CAT score was noted, but there were small improvements in lung function (treatment difference after 52 weeks =56mls). Side effects – diarrhoea (10% v 4%), weight loss (9% v 3%) and nausea (6% v 2%) – were more troublesome in the active treatment group compared to the control group. 269 patients stopped treatment in the active group (82 because of adverse effects) compared with 192 in the placebo group (29 because of adverse events). Mortality was not different between the groups (2%). This study suggests there may be a role for roflumilast, in addition to combination therapy in a select group of patients with severe COPD and symptoms of chronic bronchitis who continue to experience moderate exacerbations despite combination therapy. This benefit needs to be balanced with the side effects on a case by case basis.< Prev Next >

text: Need a rant. Throughout the past 18 months, one entity I think the game, the club, and the players have forgotten here is the goodwill - the fans. I've been thinking about this a lot lately, and when I read a direct quote from Daly Cherry-Evans today, it really struck home. When asked about the fans, Daly claimed, and in his words, "they are not of a concern to me". Well thank you Daly, you've certainly put things into perspective for me. This week, Tom Symonds claimed, when talking about Foz leaving, "the club, and his team mates know what he means to our success, and that's all that matters". I questioned Tom on that front, and asked, "what about the fans, Tom?", and all I heard in reply was crickets. Jamie Buhrer was quite vocal this week as well, sticking up for his mate. Well kudos for that. He mentioned how he felt, he mentioned how the club felt. He mentioned how DCE felt. Not once did he consider how the fans felt. Justin Horo this week hit instagram, after DCE released this statement "I play this game for obviously my family, I play it for myself and more importantly I play it for my teammates and my coach and unless any of those groups of individuals want me gone, I won't be going anywhere," he said.". Horo claimed he wanted to get back in the team for DCE. He wanted to get back into the team for himself. Not once did he mention the fans, or club success. Kieran Foran has oft been quoted as claiming that there are days he wakes and feels he doesn't want to be here. He talks about "his brothers", and he talks about how poor of a coach Toovey is compared to Brad Arthur. He talks about the medical and professional staff as key motivations. Never a mention of the fans. Joe Kelly through this whole process has been thoroughly non-existent to fans and paying members. I wrote Joe a massive e-mail, and it was cut off at the pass, and a membership manager replied to me (albeit a fantastic reply - see below) - my issue with this, is while Tom's E-mail is great on the surface, his club, his players, his coaching staff act completely different. The club presently I feel (and the players) have a massive divide and disconnect with the paying members and fans. They are doing nothing to settle the uneasy feeling. Someone wrote earlier on these boards, "when does a club, stop becoming a club" - well that has a lot of merit. My answer, is when you don't feel like your part of the community. Frankly, the attitudes of the Horo, Symonds, Buhrer, Foran, DCE, Watmough, Hasler, Arthur and others, go a long way to destroying that culture. On the FLIPSIDE, as I can't just be one sided, there ARE some glowing lights for Manly. Enter Matt Ballin. Wow, what an inspiration. Talking about what the fans mean to him. Talking about how he loves the place. "I think I owe that to the club and the fans who have supported me and to myself and my reputation.". Thank you Matt. THIS, my friends, is the reason I return as a member. THIS, is the reason I support my club. Sadly, this kind of attitude is dying fast in the game, as the players these days seem pompous, self righteous, "fans are not of a concern to me" types of arse-holes, who care nothing for anything but themselves. I hate the AFL with a passion. But the NRL could do a lot worse than learn from their community awareness, and fan buy in schemes, even at grass roots levels. They just do it all so much better. Rant / Hi Ryan, Thank you for your email. We value and appreciate all our members/supporters feedback, as without your input to the club it would not be what it is today. The recruitment and retention plan for the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles has, and continues to be, one of the best in the NRL. The NRL's salary cap was put in place to even the playing field, yet we continue to be successful year upon year. It's because of this success that it's only natural that other NRL Clubs would wish to target some of our very best players and why behind the scenes the club is working on the retention of our very best players. In the same respect, it's that same success and winning culture behind why so many players also want to join our great club. So while different players, staff, management and coaches will naturally come and go over the years, the one thing that will always remain a necessary constant is you – the loyal member/fan. Without your support through membership, tickets, merchandise and events we would fail to exist. We currently have a new management team in place who is striving to continue the clubs success and further grow our Membership base and game day attendances. We have the most loyal and passionate supporter base in the NRL and we sincerely hope that you remain a part of the Manly family for many more years to come. Kind regards, Tom Jamsek – Membership, Ticketing & Match Operations Manager Kaspersky Manly Warringah Sea Eagles

Was Steve Jobs a Car Guy?
Steve Jobs changed how people look at computers, but he will also forever be tied to the car business.
Sure, there were the stories about the Volkswagen bus he sold to help get his computer business started, and his Porsche 928, which inspired his design vision for the first Macintosh. He also developed and ran Pixar, the animated-film company that brought us "Cars" and "Cars 2."
But a bigger effect the late Apple Computer founder and chief executive had on cars and how consumers use and regard them is summed up in a comment a 20-something friend made a few years ago. She was explaining how the then-obscure Pandora music service worked when she said, "I never listen to the radio in the car. I mean, why would I do that?"

2013 – It's a wrap
Twelve months ago we were putting our feet up after a hard year of production on Good Grief. A year later and we're putting our feet up after an exciting year of festivals, screenings and awards. We're so pleased about how Good Grief has been received by audiences all across the world, from local favourites St Kilda Film Festival and the Melbourne International Animation Festival, to Brooklyn Film Festival in the United States, Dok Leipzig and the Hamburg Short Film Festival in Germany, to Animanima in Serbia and even Animpact in Japan, Korea and China.
We've screened in ten countries at 17 festivals and have picked up five awards and several prestigious nominations. We have done radio interviews, spoken at conferences and loitered around at the odd festival and awards night. During our final screening for the year at the Made in Melbourne Film Festival, we were even chased down and asked for a hug – it doesn't get much better than that. One of the hidden side benefits of film-making is the sheer volume of new friends and relationships forged at screenings and events – and we've made some wonderful connections this year.
What has made all the effort worthwhile are the emails and feedback we get from people who have seen the film and feel compelled to get in touch. We're thrilled that the stories we have shared have been useful, inspiring, educational and food for thought. We're looking at setting up a distribution agreement with a leading grief education body, and hope to be able to share more of this with you in the new year. Keep your ear out for our announcement in early 2014 about a touring schedule for schools & educational screenings.
From Fi & Jonno, wishing you the best for the holiday season. We hope you're spending it with the people, pets and things that matter most to you.

Hephaestus was the first child of Zeus and Hera, and Hera had such great hopes for his magnificence that when upon seeing him for the first time she was revolted. She was so disappointed and disgusted by her ugly child that she had Zeus throw the baby from the heights of Olympus. Therefrom he fell and fell and fell and finally landed upon the earth with such force that he created a volcano where he landed, and adding injury to insult, shattered his legs such that when he grew up he was lame. But he found some joy when he explored the volcano as he was the god of fire and he discovered metals and learned to shape them in interesting ways. When Hermes came upon him working his metalworks, he became intrigued and asked him if he could try make a weapon. He made a spear of such beauty that upon presenting it to Ares and Artemis, they demanded of Zeus that he be allowed to return to Olympus and make such wonderful things. He crafted weapons, and brought them shyly to Olympus, but always felt terribly unwanted there, unloved, and preferred his volcano home.
So when Hera proclaimed that Aphrodite marry Hephaestus, it was not intended to be the welcome one might think. Hera meant it as a curse to punish Aphrodite for inspiring such desires in her husband and so many others, so much more than they desired her.
But when Hephaestus set his eyes on her, he loved her more than any ever had, for he saw within her how she, just as he, was so terribly lonely. He saw that she could not see herself the way others saw her. And so he went to his forge and rendered a magnificent locket, the likes of which had never been seen, that captured all the glory of the ocean, the sky, and the dawn, and the ultimate beauty of womankind. He presented it to her as a wedding gift, and told her "I know I am the least worthy of you, and I wanted to you know why that is. For this is my greatest creation and it only approaches your magnificence. Nothing could ever capture your beauty." The locket was the most beautiful thing Aphrodite had ever seen, and she could not understand at first how it was meant to be a representation of her. But it was this gift, seeing herself through his eyes and art, that taught her what love meant, and she loved him deeply, and they were married soon after. And their love shined like a beacon that made all the realms glow... for a while.
Being the goddess of love, newly kindled, she had much to catch up on. She had discovered her own beauty, and how to see beauty in others. So she gave her love freely and wildly after that. Hephaestus said "Go, my love, you are a gift to us all. I am content to work in my forge, knowing that you come home to me, when you can." She loved him even more for that. And loved even more wildly. Even giving her love to Ares, who had treated her so roughly before. Ah, but Hephaestus was not quite so cool with that development. And with Hermes' help he built a mighty mechanical cage to catch them in bed together. He trapped them and called all to see, and Hera was made furious. She punished Ares by releasing Hephaestus of his weapon making contract. Aphrodite was angry at Hephaestus for his betrayal, but when he explained that it hurt him to think that she was giving her love to one who so hurt her, she forgave him. Such was life between the goddess of love and the god of fire. Explosive, and beautiful.

A 56-year-old man who lives in the UK and once worked for a soft drinks company in Uganda has been named Rwanda's king-in-exile.
Ceoafrica gathered that Prince Emmanuel Bushayija succeeds his grandfather, King Kigeli V, who died in the United States in October at the age of 80.
In a statement, the Royal House said the new monarch grew up in exile in Uganda, and later worked for Pepsi Cola in the capital, Kampala.
"He then went on to work in the tourism industry in Kenya, before returning to Rwanda between 1994 and 2000. Since then, His Majesty has lived in the United Kingdom, where he is married with two children," it added.
