Grid security exercise from NERC
The grid security exercise will test NERC and the electricity industry's crisis response plans and validate current readiness in response to a cyber incident.
A cyber security incident readiness exercise, called GridEx 2011 (PDF), will kick off in November as part of its ongoing cyber readiness program from the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC).
The grid security exercise, scheduled for November 15-17, will test NERC's and the electricity industry's crisis response plans, and validate current readiness in response to a cyber incident.
The exercise also will serve as an opportunity to enhance collaboration and strengthen industry security processes and capabilities.
"GridEx 2011 will involve bulk power system owners and operators from across North America," said Mark Weatherford, chief security officer for NERC. "This large-scale security exercise will continue our forward momentum in securing the grid by allowing NERC and the industry to identify any gaps and to better focus our resources."
The NERC exercise, modeled after the Department of Homeland Security's Cyber Storm exercise series, will allow participants to respond to scenario events as they would in the case of a real-time incident. This will enable participants and leadership to assess, test and validate existing crisis response plans.
Exercise participants will include NERC staff, Regional Entities, Reliability Coordinators, Registered Entities and selected federal partners.

Annual Salary Survey
Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.

Recreational Services Programming Highlights—Aquatics & Safety The Aquatics Program offers patrons many opportunities to grow, learn, and play. This year, our Adult Swim classes consistently reached capacity, giving rise to the need to create additional classes for our participants. Our Panther Welcome Back Pool Party topped out with 200+ participants, making it the largest pool party on record for this department. The 5th Annual Polar Bear Plunge saw 60 brave plungers test the icy-cool waters of the Indian Creek Pool. Other program highlights include a successful implementation of the Right Child Right Class session, which is a free assessment class that helps potential swimmers determine their swim level based on prerequisite skills. This year, we were able to offer the class to both children and adults. For the first time ever, we were able to offer a Lifeguard Instructor class this spring, with 3 of the class participants going on to become lifeguards at the Student Recreation Center.
By the Numbers
106 Aquatic Programs offered in 2012 [1% increase from FY11]
651 Participants in FY12 [13% decrease from FY11]
Recreational Services Programming Highlights—Fitness Center The Fitness Center saw an increase in participation this year, with student participation increasing over 18% from FY11. We held many successful programs, including our annual Lipids Don't Lie, a Smoothie Blend-off, Sweetheart of a Meal cooking demonstration, and our first annual Smart Summer Sundaes event. For many of these events, we partnered with the Division of Nutrition to include a nutritional component to our programming. Our Starter Package, which includes a personal fitness assessment and two individual training sessions, increased by 31% from FY11. We sold 63 packages in FY12 and only 48 in FY11. Other major milestones for the Fitness Center and Exercise room include purchasing new High Definition TV's in the exercise room. This purchase will save us up to $5,000 annually with Comcast due to better signal strength for local TV stations.

2,485 Total number of services sold FY12 [1.5% increase from FY11]
2,411 Participants in FY12 [9% increase from FY11]
Recreational Services Programming Highlights—Instructional Programs Instructional Programs hit a high note this year with many successful programs. Our Zumbathon was the highlight of the year, drawing over 250 participants. Held on basketball courts 1 and 2, this two-hour event attracted students, faculty, and staff to the Student Recreation Center for a night of Zumba dancing. Our Dance Show Extravaganza was a huge success drawing in close to 100 participants and audience members. Held in the Student Recreation Center Lobby, this 3 hour event was a great way to showcase our clinic participants, recruit new participants for future clinics, and promote cultural diversity through dance with several countries represented.

Recreational Services Programming Highlights—Intramurals This past fall, Intramurals sent 4 officials to work the State Flag Football Tournament in Statesboro, GA: Aaron Wilson, Shelby Stewart, Landon Crider, and Jaron Ruble. Shelby Stewart won an award for All-Tournament Official, being one of the top officials in the State of Georgia. We also started a fall bowling league with moderate success. Six teams compete in a 5-week league. During the spring semester, we had many student officials represent Georgia State at multiple extramural events. Three officials, Shelby Stewart, Aaron Wilson, and Jacob Pridemore, officiated at 4 different basketball tournaments. In the fall, participation numbers increased 19% from last fall. This was mainly due to an increase in numbers of participants for all sports. We also added a bowling league and a 3-on-3 basketball tournament to the schedule. In the spring, numbers decreased by a slight amount from spring of 2011, yet compared to last year participation numbers as a whole increased by 7%.

Recreational Services Programming Highlights—Sport Clubs Sports Clubs competed in 144 tournaments, games, matches, and events this year. The Fall 2011 Sport Club Recruitment Fair was a huge success with 18 clubs participating. The Spring 2012 Fair was not as well attended. We feel the day, time, and location of the Spring fair contributed to the lower numbers. One highlight for Sport Clubs includes the establishment of the Sport Club Executive Council, which is made up of six sport club leaders. We look forward to growing this council and using the feedback and leadership to create an even stronger program. Set up three department scholarships on-line with the GSU Foundation on the Georgia State University website. Two with the Cycling Club and a third with the Whitewater Club. At the end of Spring 2012 we added Running Club, Wrestling Club, Tennis Club, Women's Ultimate Frisbee Club, and Angler Fishing Club, which brought our total number of Sport Clubs for FY12 up to 28—one more than last year. See below for highlights from a few of our Clubs!

Recreational Services Programming Highlights—Touch the Earth FY12 saw the creation of (4) brand new expedition trips: Alaska, Costa Rica, New Hampshire White Mountains, and the Moab Canyon Lands in Utah. Touch the Earth expedition trips are experiences that can be universally life changing for anyone that goes on them. Some get a greater life change than others, but everyone is changed. While the distance away from Atlanta doesn't necessarily denote a greater experience, it does show our mission to take students to some of the most spectacular destinations in our country and on our planet. Along with our spectacular trips, we purchased all new tents for the rental program. In addition we purchased two new whitewater rafts, and 4 recreational kayaks. Touch the Earth was also highlighted in the Summer '11 issue of GSU Magazine. We saw an increase in our rental program, which we attribute to our new Bike Share Program. Bikes were checked out on a constant basis during the Spring semester.

Recreational Services Programming Highlights—Special Events Recreational Services offers many programs, events, and services each and every semester. We also offer several special events that draw large crowds and reach a diverse population. Our special events cover a broad range of activities, including golf, informal recreation, swimming, and walking. These special events attract audiences that might not otherwise utilize our facility. This year, we were able to attract over 900 students, faculty, and staff to our annual Day in the Rec event. Our 10th annual golf tournament brought in close to 100 participants, a few who have played in our tournament since the beginning.

Recreational Services Marketing & Technology Highlights MARKETING HIGHLIGHTS According to our tracking software, E-Z Watson, the number one tool used by participants for recreation information is referencing the semester RAP-UP. Ninety-four percent of summer participants, 83% of fall participants, and 85% of spring participants reported they use Rap Up for program information. The second way participants found out about recreation programs was through a friend. Our Social Marketing has really taken off. Our Facebook numbers continue to hold steady, with 597 people "liking" our page between 07/01/2011 and 05/21/2012. We currently have 1,761 likes. However, our likes were down from last year by 48%; this could be due to Facebook being reworked. Between 07/01/2011 and 05/21/2012, we created 9 photo albums. On Twitter, we currently have 790 followers. We have sent 187 tweets and been mentioned in 296 tweets.

Per IS&T requirements, the server hosting the main SRC applications was successfully password protected ensuring that unauthorized individuals would not be able to access sensitive information. 10
Recreational Services Facility Highlights, Facts, & Figures UTILITY USAGE Total costs for utilities increased 2.77% from FY11. On average, utilities costs $34,275 per month to maintain our day to day operations. Electricity alone accounts for $19,308 of the total monthly costs. While utility costs are on the rise, we are continually finding ways to reduce our carbon footprint, conserve energy, and increase our sustainability efforts at all of our recreation sites. See page 12 for more information on department sustainability efforts.
FACILITY UPDATE A number of facility projects outside of normal day-to-day operations took place during FY12. Below are the projects completed during FY12: Rebuilt the sauna including: replacing all cedar boards on walls, benches, and floor; refinished existing door; replaced all door hardware. $3,200 Replaced the lap pool chemical control unit with an intergraded BECS 5 system. $4,792 Built Lexan cover boxes for all 3 of the chemical control units. $240 Installed Grout Amour in the Men's locker room shower floor tiles. $4,200 Removed, repaired, and re-installed 6 units of the architectural cobalt blue cold cathode tube lights in the back of the SRC. $2,532 Replaced both Birch veneer entrance doors and hardware leading from the pool deck into the locker rooms. $1,221 Replaced both Birch veneer doors and hardware leading from the pool deck into the Scuba locker room. $1,271 Replaced Von Duprin power supply on 1 and 2 bad Chexit delayed egress module in the exit doors off the third level track. $2,173 Replaced key pad for the exit door on the second level into stairway E. $345 Replaced the barrel and the electric operator in the roll-up garage door in the Service Drive. $1,975 Painting and FRP installation throughout the SRC. $8,650 Tile work in Natatorium and locker rooms. $8,162 Total expenses for FY12 facility updates: $38,760 11
Recreational Services Green Globes Certification and Indian Creek GREEN GLOBES CERTIFICATION The Student Recreation Center was certified in March 2012 using the Green Globes green building rating system for Continual Improvement of Existing Buildings (CIEB). A first for the GSU campus, Green Globes is a revolutionary green building guidance and assessment program that offers an effective, practical and affordable way to advance the overall environmental performance and sustainability of commercial buildings. Based on its recognized and proven assessment protocol, the system ensures that environmental impacts are comprehensively assessed on a point scale in multiple categories (energy, indoor environment, site, water, resources, emissions and project/ environmental management). We are the first existing University recreation center in the country to receive Green Globes certification (proudly, 3 out of a possible 4 Globes in the rating system). This means we demonstrate leadership in design and delivery of energy and environmentally sensitive buildings and a commitment to continual improvement. Since the Student Recreation Center opened in 2001, we have continually striven to reduce our environmental impact with no specific green building rating or assessment planned. Environmental stewardship has been a key operating strategy to both reduce our carbon footprint and reduce operating costs. Buildings rated or certified Green Globes are verified to use less energy, conserve natural resources and emit fewer pollutants in the form of greenhouse gases, airborne particulates, liquid effluents and solid waste. We continue to lead the way on campus and across the country for existing University recreation centers in our sustainability efforts.
INDIAN CREEK RECREATION AREA UPDATES FY12 saw many reservations at the Indian Creek Lodge. While usage was down by about 11% from last year, we still were able to offer unique experiences to our patrons this fiscal year. We collected $11,360 in revenue from reservations this year, which is slightly down from FY11's revenue of $11,534.50. For FY13, we are looking forward to renovating our existing lodge to accommodate larger groups and more reservations.

Recreational Services Assessment Highlights Every year, we evaluate our recreation programs and services through targeted assessments. We use student learning outcomes (SLOs) and institute effectiveness plans (IEPs) to evaluate if we meet our mission statement: to promote a healthy lifestyle through recreational sports and fitness activities offered to the University community, delivering programs, services and facilities that meet or exceed customer needs. Our (6) SLOs and IEPs for FY12 included: IEP #1: The Department of Recreational Services delivers programs/services that meet or exceed customer needs. IEP #2: The Department of Recreational Services delivers facilities that meet or exceed customer needs. IEP/SLO #3: Students who complete the NAUI SCUBA Diver course will be able to perform required skills for certification. SLO #4: Students who complete 13 of the 15 Hapkido instructional clinic classes will be able to identify and describe the cultural aspects of the Korean art form. SLO #5: Student Intramural officials who complete basketball officials' training will demonstrate competency by passing a practical skills demonstration and written test. SLO #6: Students discover similarities and strengthen relationships among different people through the integration of engaging activities that allow individuals from various cultures to intentionally interact. Below is the evaluation criteria we used and the results from FY12's assessments: IEP #1 A) Number of participants in instructional clinics will maintain levels documented in the past 3 academic years. B) Demographic data from card swipe information will maintain levels documented in the past 3 academic years. A) The number of participants in Instructional Clinics for the past 3 years are as follows: Fall 2009 – Spring 2010: 1809 Fall 2010 – Spring 2011: 1428* / 1749** (3.3% decrease from FY 10) Fall 2011 – Spring 2012: 1459 (16.5% decrease from FY 11) *Data based on actual numbers collected **Data based on estimate for Spring 2011 numbers B) Demographic information includes a breakdown by ethnicity.

IEP/SLO #3 Students will perform the required written and practical skills as listed on course standards criteria sheet with 80% success on each skill. Less than 80% will require individual one-on-one retraining and reassessment with course instructor. Fall 2011: Out of 10 possible spots, 7 participants took the GSU SCUBA clinic. 5 went on the certifying trip in December to perform the required skills for certification. All 5 students (100%) passed the written and practical portions with 80% or better. Spring 2011: Out of 10 possible spots, 8 participants took the GSU SCUBA clinic. 5 will go on the certifying trip in May to perform the required skills for certification. All 5 students (100%) passed the written and practical portions with 80% or better. SLO #4 Students will complete a post-clinic evaluation survey that will demonstrate their ability to identify and describe the significance and history of Hapkido in the Korean culture. We were able to survey 14 of the 20 registered participants for the Spring Hapkido Instructional Clinic. Among other questions about the course, we asked about their understanding of Hapkido and the Korean culture and its significance: Q: Because I had the opportunity to interact with other participants, I learned something about a different culture. A: 50% Strongly Agreed; 14% Somewhat Agreed; 36% Agreed Q: I developed a deeper understanding for this instructional clinic's origins and its significance to the culture it represents. A: 64% Strongly Agreed; 29% Somewhat Agreed; 7% Agreed SLO #5 Student officials will successfully pass a practical skills test administered by the Intramural staff at the completion of training. Student officials will also pass a written test with 80% success rate, demonstrating their knowledge of officiating basketball games. Less than 80% written or a failure of the practical test will require individual one-on-one retraining and reassessment with the course instructor. Less than 80% written and a failure of the practical test will result in a retraining and reassessment one years' time from the training. Basketball officials' training occurred in late January 2012. Results from the training are as follows: 29 students took the 4-night course, practical test, and written test. 15 students (51.7%) passed both the practical and written tests. 13 students (44.8%) passed either the practical or written exam. 1 student (3.45%) did not pass either practical or written exam. Students who did not pass 1 or more test will be given one-on-one retraining with the instructor. They will be able to take the course (and tests) in 1 years' time. SLO #6 At least 50% of the students who participate in the challenge program (Ropes Course) will respond with an average of 4 for ratings students give to the three separate indicators – interact, discover similarities, and strengthen relationships with various cultures. Less than 50% response rate will result in revisions of the program and/or individual one-on-one training with challenge program facilitators. We have collected 80 evaluations from various challenge course programs since Fall 2011. To sum up, the responses to the questions that correlate with our SLO include: 63 people (79%) agree with: I had the opportunity to interact with people from different cultures. 56 people (70%) agree with: I discovered similarities between myself and someone from another culture while involved with this activity. 65 people (81%) agree with: I strengthened a relationship with someone from another culture as a result of our interaction during this activity.

Mexico City native Luis Perez is a musician and folklorist with an interest in the instruments and musical traditions of Incan and Mayan civilizations. TALES OF ASTRAL TRAVELERS links Perez's interest in South American antiquity with contemporary sounds and recording technology. The result is a lilting mélange of flutes and percussion instruments, synthesizer, natural sounds, accordion, and strings.Read More...
Tracks like "Insectos" and "Amphibians," which feature recordings of the title creatures, draw us directly into the heart of the rain forest, while beautifully evocative cuts like "Aurora's Dream" send a kind of siren song on woodwinds. More conventional melodies are heard on the folk song-like "Distant Voices," but for the most part Perez explores ambient atmospheres on ASTRAL TRAVELERS, making it a fine way to journey through the future to the ancient past without leaving the comfort of your headphones.

Thames and Ganges to be Twinning Partners
Both the twinning grant and the Riverprize money will be directed to the twinning project, with the Thames River Restoration Trust coordinating the finances. This is the first time a Riverprize winner has committed their award money on top of the twinning grant to a twinning partner.
A number of projects are proposed for the next two financial years, 2011/12 and 2012/13. These projects will span 10 clusters of villages along the 1,360 kilometre stretch of the river Yamuna in the Upper Ganges River catchment.
The twinning project will work cooperatively with WWF-India to protect the endangered Ganges River Dolphin (Platanista gangeticus), freshwater turtles, and aid the reintroduction of the critically endangered Gharial crocodile (Gavialis gangeticus).
This new twinning partnership will see the IRF Alumni network further expand. The IRF would like to recognise the Environment Agency England and the Thames River Restoration Trust for their generous contribution of all Riverprizefunds to this twinning partnership.

Hi, I have painted my kitchen october mist, what is a good paint color for my hallway? The hall leads right into the kitchen. We also hae very dark wood floors. Thank you
Thanks for your question. You have several options for color in the adjoining hall. My first suggestion would be simply a lighter and similar color, like Benjamin Moore Morning Dew 14943 http://www.myperfectcolor.com/en/color/4926_Benjamin-Moore-1493-Morning-Dew , this could look beautiful with the dark floors.
A cool color would most likely be the best match for your kitchen color. You'll want to sample any color you're considering, as light and surrounding surfaces, can affect how the color appears.

Just out of curiosity/design aspects - I see from your directions that you put stockinette stitch right at the edges - when I have done this in my experiments, the edges curl badly, so I usually put a stitch or two of garter at the edges, or I slip the first stitch of every row to control the curling. In your picture the edges look fine and not curled - is this yarn stiff enough not to curl? or is it hidden by the 2 stitch cabled rib next to it?

ANCHORAGE - Gun rights enthusiasts welcomed Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as she made an appearance Friday on a radio talk show, whose callers included rock n' roller turned avid hunter Ted Nugent.
Palin spoke on the Michael Dukes' "Firearms Friday" show on KFAR radio in Fairbanks. She was in Alaska's second largest city to sign a gun rights bill and several resolutions.
Nugent, well-known for the 1970s hit "Cat Scratch Fever," told Palin from his home in Michigan that he was firing up the grill to cook up some Alaskan black bear backstrap in her honor.
The governor told Nugent that she thought that was "awesome."
Palin announced last Friday she is resigning, saying it was the best thing for the state and for her family. Her resignation takes effect July 26 when Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell takes over.
Nugent signed off by saying, "Sarah Palin, God bless you and your family."
Since her announcement, Palin has mostly been traveling around Alaska and visiting towns and signing bills.
After talking with Nugent, Palin took some questions from listeners. Most of them said they supported her decision to resign but were disappointed.
"I chose not to play their game," Palin explained.
She wanted instead to free herself of the constraints of the governor's job so that she could again "get out there and fight," she said.
As governor, she was forced to answer ethics complaints filed by anonymous people, Palin said.
"They do things like that," Palin said. "I can handle it but not when it cost the state the time and money it has cost."
The state said this week it has spent $1.9 million on the ethics complaints.
The bill she signed in Fairbanks is aimed at helping people with permits to carry concealed weapons to remember to renew their permits. The permits used to have a renewal date based on the day the permit was issued. The law changes the renewal date to the permit holder's birthday.
In Alaska, residents are allowed to carry weapons either openly or concealed without a permit. However, if they want to carry their guns in other states that have concealed carry laws they may need a permit recognized by that state.

Tesco's Leahy Takes Stock
Longtime CEO Eases His Way Out as the U.K. Retailer Continues to Shine; New Career as 'Business Angel' Awaits
Terry Leahy is now well into his long goodbye. He surprised investors and competitors in June with the announcement that he would leave Tesco, the company he has led for the past 14 years, but he doesn't step down until March. In the meantime, there is an orderly handover under way, coinciding with a series of rather disorderly changes at other big companies that has served to highlight the effectiveness of Tesco's own succession planning.

HEARTS have taken a step towards clearing their football debts by getting in touch with the players they made redundant last season.
The Tynecastle club have contacted Marius Zaliukas, John Sutton, Andrew Driver and kids Mark Keegan and Marcus McMillan and told them they are ready to deal.
Hearts exited administration earlier this month and settling their footballing obligations of £535,000 is part of their agreement for licensing with the SFA.
The five players were either still under contract or owed wages as the Edinburgh side entered administration and they now require to be paid by the club after the successful takeover by Ann Budge.
The players have now been invited to present their case to ensure settlement, with the support of PFA Scotland and their own representatives.
Zaliukas moved to Leeds while Sutton sealed a switch to Motherwell and scored 22 goals last season.
Former England Under-21 winger Driver is still at MLS outfit Houston Dynamo but Keegan and McMillan are not registered with any senior clubs.

About CO-1686
CO-1686 is a novel, oral, targeted covalent (irreversible) inhibitor of the cancer-causing mutant forms of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) currently being studied for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). CO-1686 was designed to selectively target both the initial activating EGFR mutations as well as the T790M resistance mutation, while sparing wild-type, or "normal" EGFR at anticipated therapeutic doses. Accordingly, it has the potential to treat NSCLC patients with EGFR mutations both as a first-line or second-line treatment with a potentially reduced toxicity profile.
About Rucaparib
Rucaparib is an oral, potent small molecule inhibitor of PARP1 and PARP2 being developed for the treatment of platinum-sensitive, relapsed ovarian cancer in patients with BRCA mutations (genes that are linked to hereditary breast and ovarian cancers) and other DNA repair deficiencies. Rucaparib is also being explored in patients with BRCA-mutant pancreatic cancer.
About Lucitanib
Lucitanib is an oral, potent inhibitor of the tyrosine kinase activity of fibroblast growth factor receptors 1 and 2 (FGFR1-2), vascular endothelial growth factor receptors 1 through 3 (VEGFR1-3), and platelet-derived growth factor receptors alpha and beta (PDGFRa-β). Clovis, which holds exclusive U.S. and Japanese rights, is collaborating with its development partner Les Laboratories Servier (Servier) on the global clinical development of lucitanib, initially targeting solid tumors with FGFR pathway activation, including breast and squamous NSCLC.

When buying makeup, you can't really get any cheaper than £1 and this is why I was so impressed with the
quality of the MUA lipliners. When I bought this product I was in a rush and needed a red lip liner as I was planning on wearing a red lipstick that night, and knowing MUA products are so cheap, I thought if I don't like it it's not really a big deal and just picked it up on a whim. I had in my head that it was going to be like an actual pencil, really hard, scratchy and unworkable but when I got home and tried it on the back of my hand I was pleasantly surprised, it's super creamy and pigmented, like the name suggests. When I put it on my lips, I could have just wore it by itself, it looked like a lipstick and when I added my lipstick over it, it really intensified the colour. I couldn't stop going on about it, I kept telling my friends how amazed I was with it, I think with it costing only £1 I didn't really have much hope for it and this is why I was so surprised, I only wore this for a couple of hours and then took it off but it lasted perfectly also stopping my lipstick from bleeding. The one I have is in the shade 'Red Drama', the colour range isn't that great with only four shades available, but there are some nice shades, from a pale pink to a deep plum. They also have pencil sharpeners that are part of the lids which are really handy, I can never find them when I need them!
Also available at Superdrug.

- Low-key approach to office space hampering job creation: Study
CHENNAI: The conservative approach of developers in promoting grade A office space and inadequacies in promoting Chennai as an investment destination by the state government have hampered job creation and investment flow into the city, international realty consultant Jones Lang LaSalle has said. Office space vacancy level in the city has dropped to a precariously low level of 8%. With not much quality office space on offer, investors have begun looking at other markets for investment, said JLL India CEO Ramesh Nair at a media briefing in the city on Thursday. The vacancy of quality office space in Chennai stood at 32% way back in 2012, causing concerns for the developer community. As developers went slow on new projects to ensure the absorption of completed vacant building projects, investors found it difficult to get grade A office space, said Nair. It resulted in several top IT and ITES companies looking at alternative markets like Bengaluru and Hyderabad, denying Tamil Nadu the opportunity of creating a large number of job opportunities. Inadequate infrastructure facilities have been a major challenge for the growth of office space in India, said JLL Asia Pacific chief executive officer Anthony Couse. The overdependence on jobs outsourced by other countries would hamper the employment potential in India in future, said Couse, adding that a sizeable segment of today's children would end up doing jobs that do not exist today. Artificial intelligence and office automation are expected to adversely affect about 4% of office space absorption in the country in the near future. Many companies have already started launching initiatives to upgrade the skill base of their employees to help them stay relevant in the changing times, he said. Besides, several structural reforms like demonetisation, GST (goods and services tax) and the Real Estate Regulatory Act that the government at the Centre had introduced in recent times have helped improve transparency and attract foreign investors, said Couse. Warehousing and logistics offered huge opportunities as asset classes for the developer community, said Ramesh. If quality space is made available, the country has the potential to absorb roughly 30 million sq ft of warehouses annually, he said. The demand for affordable housing now stands at roughly 10 million units per annum in the country. Still, factors like poor infrastructure, delay in project clearance and the non-availability of last mile connectivity remain stumbling blocks in fulfilling this demand, said Ramesh. Moreover, since margins continue to be low in the affordable housing segment, not many developers seem to be getting attracted towards it, he pointed out.
- Police to seek custody of accused
KOCHI: Ernakulam rural police would seek custody of Antony Augusti, who was arrested with hashish oil worth Rs2 crore from Perumbavoor. A petition seeking custody of Antony for at least six days would be filed before court on Monday. The police move is in the wake of information that Antony has links with Andhrabased drug rackets. According to PA Faisal, the Perumbavoor sub-inspector, Antony is a seasoned criminal and he gave contradictory statements during the questioning that happened following the arrest. "Antony was active in the cultivation and selling of ganja in the state until a few years ago. After the crackdown against the sale and production of contraband, he had moved to other states to procure the same. He initially said that it was meant for customers abroad and later changed statement that it was for sale among people from the film industry and party goers," said Faisal. On March 12, the accused was arrested with processed ganja in a semi-solid paste form. Ganja is procured in rates as low as Rs500 to Rs1,000 and are sold in rural areas for Rs 20,000 per kg. In cities like Kochi, the price would go as high as even Rs 50,000, said police. According to police, they are in the process of identifying the source of the drug. Officials have zeroed in on the person, a native of Adimali and member of a major drug racket. "We got information about one more person who gave the contraband to him. However, we are yet to get enough evidence to reach him. We are hoping to find more leads by questioning him again after taking him into custody," said Faisal. Faisal said that Antony was among those who rely on ganja farmers in Andhra Pradesh. "As the risk of cultivating within the state has gone over the roof, people like Antony has been bringing in the contraband through the borders from other states. Apart from buying the contraband, these rackets also take contract for harvesting ganja fields, which are ready to reap. Later, it is brought in either as processed hashish or as raw ganja," said the officer. Officials said that the the contraband seized from Anthony was high quality hash. "The ganja paste is so effective that a small amount applied over a cigarette would give the user immediate euphoria," said police, adding that the accuse0d even had international connections as per his phone records.

- Relics of St Anthony draw lakhs of devotees to Navelim
MARGAO: Lakhs of devotees from various parts of South Goa, even as far as Betul and Agonda-Canacona, thronged to the Padre Pio Friary at Modi-Navelim to venerate the sacred relics of St Anthony of Padua on Saturday. Volunteers and police personnel had a harrowing time controlling the long, serpentine queues. "The relics arrived much before schedule, at around 1.35pm. They were brought in a special, closed vehicle with police escort," said organising committee member and South Goa additional collector Agnelo Fernandes. Media in-charge Fr Simon Rico Fernandes said, "The number of devotees who turned up for the public veneration was beyond our expectations. They arrived before dawn. The entire hillock was full." The public veneration will conclude on March 4 with a thanksgiving Eucharistic celebration and final blessing at 3.30pm. "The relics will then be taken to the Dabolim airport from where they will be flown to Singapore," Fr Fernandes said. South Goa episcopal vicar Fr Lucio Dias will be the main celebrant along with the Goa provincial minister Fr Waldheim Rodrigues, Fr Fernandes said, adding that Fr Rodrigues will be the main celebrant at the 6.30am mass, that will be followed by public veneration from 7.45am to 2.45pm.
- Display of relics of St Anthony from tomorrow
The relics of St Anthony of Padua, one of the most popular saints in the Catholic church, will be displayed for public viewing and veneration at Averno Frirary, Monte De Guirim, and Padre Pio Friary, Navelim. Coming from Padua, Italy, the two 'first-class' relics will be open for veneration at Monte De Guirim from the morning of March 2 till the afternoon of March 3, and at the Padre Pio Friary from the afternoon of March 3 till the afternoon of March 4. One reliquary contains the smallest rib bone of the saint and the other a fragment of his petrified flesh in a bust. Saint Anthony is known to millions of Catholics as the patron saint of lost and stolen articles. People pray to him for restoring anything they may have lost from tangible objects such as keys, to more profound aspects such as faith, a sense of purpose, etc. A view of his relics is believed to help Catholics cope with the loss of faith, family harmony, health, peace of mind, as well as material things. There are three classes of sacred relics. The first class is a part of the saint's body, the second, a piece of his/her clothing or something used by him/her, and the third, an object touched to a first-class relic. St Anthony died on June 13, 1231, and was buried in a little church outside the walls of Padua. In 1263, his remains were transferred to a newly constructed basilica. When his coffin was opened, bones and ashes were found, but his vocal apparatus was intact. His tongue, in particular, was still red and soft. That was deemed a miracle. In 2005, Pope Benedict Emeritus said of the relics: "By inviting us to venerate the mortal remains of martyrs and saints, the Church does not forget that, in the end, these are indeed just human bones, but they are bones that belonged to individuals touched by the living power of God." The writer is a capuchin priest.
- Chemical attack: Wife of accused says victim committed suicide
CHENNAI: Three days after a 34-year-old woman in a dying declaration to the city police said her employer, Raja, at a diagnostic lab in Madipakkam had poured surgical spirit on her and set her ablaze, the wife of the man she accused said her husband was innocent and the woman had killed herself. At a press conference on Tuesday, R Lalitha provided an alternative version of what took place at the lab on the night of February 18. She said Yamuna was frustrated and set herself onfire and Raja tried to save her and injured himself in the process, she said. Raja's lawyer Anthony Robson said soon after the incident Raja had taken Yamuna to the Chromepet Government Hospital where she told the staff that she sustained burns due to a LPG cylinder blast and was later shifted to Kilpauk Medical College and Hospital. "If it was an attempt to murder, she could have blamed him right away," he said. Lalitha blamed the police for not conducting a thorough investigation and added that she will get justice for her husband. She also claimed that the incident happened outside the lab and that there were witnesses. On February 18, Yamuna and her employer, Raja, 40, the owner of Sri Balaji Diagnostics, had had a verbal altercation before Raja allegedly splashed her with surgical spirit and set her on fire in Vanuvampet. The woman, who was admitted to Kilpauk Medical College and Hospital with 46% burns died on February 25.

- Bhopal at top of RERA heap with 50% share of complaints
BHOPAL: If the number of complaints registered with Real Estate Regulatory Authority is anything to go buy, property buyers in Bhopal are troubledthe mostby realtors. The regulatory body formed from May1last year with the stated objective for saving buyers from being taken for a ride received 450 complaints from property buyers in Bhopal in past nine months. It was half of the total complaints registered in RERA from the state, which is 900 complaints. It works out on an average of 100 complaints per monthfrom MadhyaPradesh. Indore is second in maximum number of complaints from property buyers. Around 300 complaints have been registered from Indore with the authority. Majority of the complaints are of delayed possession. It is mandatory for every new and on-going project to get registered in RERA. So far, 1,700 projects have been registered in RERA throughout MP out of the total 2,000 registration applications received. Registration of 300 projects was turned down due to lack of documents. Besides, notices have been issued to 25 realtors in MP for not registering their projects under RERA. The authorities came to know about it on receiving complaints from buyers of such projects. RERA can levy heavy fines on such unregistered projects. RERA chairman Anthony deSa said "out of the total 900 complaints received, 300 complaints have been disposed. It is the highest disposal rate in the country. We encourage a fair compromise between the purchaser and developer so that interest of both the parties are safeguarded." The projects not registered with RERA can be fined up to 10% of the total project value. RERA could charge them 4 times more than the normal registration fees for registering late, apart from levying a fine. Complainants wishing to approach the RERA can do so through the authority website after paying a nominal fee. Under the RERA, details of commercial and residential projectswillbeonline. A developer has to list all project clearance details and update on the project, including exact number of units sold as well as unsold once in every three months. The authority does notcontrol pricing of projects. Commercial or residential projects with 8 units and more come under its ambit. All the new and on-going projectsfallunder RERA. Broadly, the authority ensures that a developer delivers what he promisedto a buyer as mentioned in the sale agreement, including the adherencetothecompletion schedule. Consumers purchasing properties in a real estate project not registered with RERA wouldface problem and willbe on a weak wicket if they approach the RERA in case of a grievance.
- Relics of St Anthony of Padua to be brought to Goa in March for 3 days
By- Lisa Monteiro PANAJI: The holy relics of St Anthony of Padua will be brought to Goa at the beginning of next month for a three day pilgrimage. The two original sacred relics— a fragment of St Anthony's petrified flesh in a beautiful bust and his smallest rib in a casket—brought from Rome, will be kept at Monte de Guirim and Navelim for veneration. While the first relic—the petrified flesh in a bust— will be kept for public veneration, the rib in the casket will be used to bless the faithful. The St Anthony Capuchin Province, Goa, jumped at the opportunity of bringing the relics to the state. During this pilgrimage in India, the relics are also being taken to Kerala, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal and Meghalaya. Devotees can venerate the relics on March 2 (morning to evening), and March 3 (morning to afternoon) at Alverno Friary, Monte de Guirim, and on March 3 (afternoon to evening) and on March 4 (morning to afternoon) at Padre Pio Friary, Moddi, Navelim. A detailed programme is yet to be chalked out. "St Anthony of Padua is a very popular saint in the Catholic Church and for Goans too. He was a very charismatic preacher and miracle worker. Our province is dedicated to him and we hope this pilgrimage urges people to draw inspiration from his life and change their own lives," said Fr Waldheim Rodrigues, provincial minister, St Anthony Capuchin province, Goa. The relics were brought to Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Andhra and Telangana in March last year. Prior to that they were taken only to Kerala in February 1996.
- Govt to guide 15 panchayats on waste management initiatives
GOA: While activists cried for action against these panchayats and the government delayed in setting up a corporation, Goa's festering garbage problem became a sore point for tourists and the local populace. "The creation of awareness through about 100 programmes at the panchayat level is bearing fruit and the local bodies have responded positively and the figures (of collection) speak for themselves," says managing director, Goa Waste Management Corporation (GWMC), Sanjit Rodrigues. In North Goa, the Calangute panchayat handed over 13,726 tonnes of waste, followed by Candolim with 7,913 tonnes of waste. But villages like Benaulim and Khola are given credit for their efforts for either segregating the waste or doing better than revenue-rich coastal panchayats. For a state, which pioneered its segregation at source in Panaji, it has a long way to go. Panchayat leaders and others agree that more sensitisation of villagers and stakeholders is needed. "Our panchayat delivers the most, but as there are many hotels in the area, more than 30% of it is mixed waste," former Calangute sarpanch, Joseph Sequeira said. Agrees sarpanch of Calangute village panchayat, Anthony Menezes, "The people's cooperation is needed and we are slowly increasing door-to-door collection and handing green and blue bags for proper segregation," he said. In this aspect, Cana-Benaulim panchayat which topped among south Goa panchayats excelled in delivering 70 tonnes of baled waste to GWMC. Many panchayats hand over their waste to private collectors, who rake in moolah by recycling it. But experts say letting panchayats off the hook will not help the cause. "The government has to forget politics of public appeasement or sophisticated technology will not help. Effective collection and transportation is needed to bring the waste to the plant's doorstep," says K D Sadhale of Nirmal Vishwa, a Pondabased NGO. GWMC managing director agrees that they have much work to do. "It is a work in progress and we are preparing a road map for panchayats. We will provide technical expertise to 15 panchayats to create their village waste management plans and hand-hold their steps ahead," Rodrigues said.

USA Today Shows the B/R Wrestling Community Some Love: We Are Here to Stay!!March 15, 2009
Friends of the B/R wrestling community!! It is with great pleasure that I announce a major accomplishment for our community!
The USA Today has posted an article that I wrote during Black History Month on the top African-American wrestlers ever.
Needless to say, personally I'm excited but I feel that this is a community accomplishment.
I didn't write this to gloat or brag, because God knows I'm not the best writer in this community and I don't feel this was the best article I've written.
This was written to make all of you aware and the rest of the other communities here on Bleacher Report aware that the wrestling community is here and (excuse my broken English) we ain't going nowhere!!
Sure people look at wrestling and say it's fake, it's not a sport, blah, blah, blah.
Wrestling is something that we KNOW is fake but provides us entertainment and it's something that many of us love. Just like you can love basketball and football (I love those too).
It speaks to us on a personal level as Josh Sewell so passionately wrote....
It makes us laugh. Just ask Shane Howard.
It can provide one of the best experiences of our lives. Jason LeBlanc knows first hand.
In addition to all of this we prove time and time again that though it may not be the sport of your choice we have great writers who write quality, in depth articles that are well researched.
Mina is a great example of such a writer. Check out her work.
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/133204-one-moment-chris- jericho-ignited-my-fire-for-the-squared-circle
There are so many other countless names to list of people who do great work in this community. Ross, Daris, AkD, Ray, M. The list goes on and on.
Ron Johnson my friend, you should be proud. I know I am.
So to all the great folks in the B/R wrestling community THANK YOU for what you do. I enjoy logging on daily and reading your great work.
Maybe one day we'll have a beer (or Kool-Aid, water, pop, etc. if alcohol is not your choice of beverage) and enjoy this great accomplishment.
To the rest of the Bleacher Report, get to know some of these great writers. Because we'll be here for a long time.

It just wouldnŌĆÖt be The Sims without yet more ways for you to make a fool of yourself in public. Fortunately the latest expansion pack for The Sims 3, called Late Night, brings skinny dipping, table dancing, bad cover bands, puking in public, and yes, vampires, to the mix.
Late Night is absolutely crammed with new content. With Late NightŌĆÖs social focus, youŌĆÖll find that sims in Bridgeport spend a lot of time bar- and club-hopping, or going to parties - either as an invited guest or as a gate crasher. ThereŌĆÖs a good range of pubs and clubs, from local watering holes, where you can throw a few darts (and a few punches), to an exclusive vampire club that serves extra-special cocktails. Changing hot-spots means a club thatŌĆÖs crammed one night might be deserted the next; so youŌĆÖll need to do a bit of research to hit the crowds every night.
You wonŌĆÖt be able to go just anywhere when you first start out though - not without a few fame stars under your belt. You can earn up to five levels of fame, by getting to know celebrities around town, going to bars and clubs, or through general schmoozing. Eventually, fame brings its own rewards (and downsides): youŌĆÖll receive discounts at shops, or even free gifts - just for being a celebrity - and youŌĆÖll be invited to all sorts of events (where your presence is paid for, in cash!). Unfortunately youŌĆÖll also be hounded by paparazzi, stopped for autographs when you go out, and be photographed by regular sims everywhere you go. Rumours spread fast when youŌĆÖre famous, and donŌĆÖt be surprised if peeing yourself in public gets you noticed. No, not in a good way.
If fame in itself isnŌĆÖt enough, there are also a few new career options for sims in Late Night. Musically-inclined sims can form a band with up to four others and then play gigs around town - or just jam in public to improve their skills. The addition of new instruments including a drum kit, double bass, keyboard and grand piano, means you can put together a kicking group in no time.
Perhaps becoming a star of the silver screenŌĆÖs more your simŌĆÖs style; just have them stroll down to the lot where theyŌĆÖll be hired as an extra. Fame points and high charisma will get a sim a long way in that career. For those who arenŌĆÖt into the limelight, the new bar-tending skill - called mixology - lets your sim moonlight at bars and clubs for cash, as well as concoct all sorts of mood-enhancing drinks, including one that makes everyone go just a little bit crazy.
Along with all this city life comes high-rise living. There are a few oddities with this feature, including the option to only live in the penthouse (hey, IŌĆÖm not complaining), but the ability to woo-hoo with just about anyone in the elevator makes up for it. Apartments are great for putting you close to the action, but the downside is that expansion via the build menu isnŌĆÖt an option and the much lauded hot tubs that are (finally!) back in the game werenŌĆÖt usable in any of the apartments my sims lived in.
Another hotly anticipated addition to Late Night is the ability to become a vampire. For the record: these vampires are awesome. They look great, have spooky eyes and cool arched eyebrows, can read minds, and have a great goth wardrobe (and hairstyles) to boot. Vampires can do everything sims can do, with the exception of spending a large amount of time in the sun (donŌĆÖt send your vampire to Egypt, no matter how much they wish for it.) The process of becoming a vampire is really well done, with a gradual rather than immediate effect. And the benefits are well worth it: vampires are imbued with a night-time vigour, giving them bonuses to mood; they can run really fast - and even hunt other sims. That said, if the whole drinking blood thing is a bit icky to you, youŌĆÖll be pleased to know vamps can raid the hospital for plasma, or even grow blood fruit if they prefer to go vegetarian.
There are scads more new features, including new wishes (like skinny dipping at night) and lifetime rewards, such as ŌĆśwatering hole regularŌĆÖ or ŌĆśthe hustlerŌĆÖ. Subway stations also make an appearance, allowing for quick transport across the city (and a quick toilet stop). ThereŌĆÖs also now the ability to further fine-tune your simsŌĆÖ physiques, to the point where an Arnold Schwarzenegger or Pamela Anderson sim wouldnŌĆÖt be out of the question.
It may sound like a bit of a mish-mash, but in many ways Late Night feels more ŌĆśtogetherŌĆÖ than Ambitions (though not as all-encompassingly new as World Adventures), with the expansion gently prodding us back to more open-ended gameplay. And like all great Sims expansion packs, once youŌĆÖve finished thrashing out all the new features, the real prize lies in discovering all the new and weird ways in which the changes ripple out through the rest of the game. As for me, IŌĆÖm off to go to work on my master creation: an entire French village populated with famous zombies, skinny dipping vampires and the ghost of Dolly Parton.

Royalty Free Music Blog
Royalty Free Reality TV MusicProduction :: November 12, 2013
One of the challenges of scoring for a reality TV program is the sheer number of different moods you need. At certain times, you will need to infuse a showdown moment with a tense number that heightens the drama without dominating the scene. Other moments may be intimate, romantic or suspenseful. Our uniquely composed Reality Drama TV collection helps you capture the mood of every scene perfectly.
Reality Drama TV covers every possible scenario you might need to score. Start with your choice of numerous intro themes, which infuse your opening credits with a punchy and lively sound. From there, introduce your characters, players or contestants with subtle and moody pieces that build suspense. Reality Drama TV features two options – Player Intros A and Player Intros B – which draw on a full range of stylistic influences.
Setups and challenges are a vital part of any dramatic reality TV show. The Reality Drama TV compilation covers you with extended medleys that let you evoke the confrontational mood of the challenge setup. Then, no matter whether the players succeed or fail, you'll have no trouble finding the right music for the moment – the collection offers two medleys each for challenge successes and failures.
Some reality TV shows are more driven by character interactions than showdowns or challenges. We've created two evocative musical sequences titled Development A and Development B to help you key in on crucial turns of events.
You will also find specially composed pieces that amp up the drama and impact of other crucial moments in your show. These pieces include recaps, in which the achievements or shortcomings of a contestant or character are being recounted. Moments of judgment get the tense, stern and moody treatment through the Judgment A and Judgment B tracks. Cut to commercial and roll your final credits with cue supplements and outro themes.
At SmartSound, we've got the royalty free music that will boost production value while keeping your reality TV budget realistic. Trust our traditional and original tracks for your reality drama TV series, sports series or action drama.

Junior Toots, son of the legendary Frederick "Toots" Hibbert ofToots and the Maytals, had to take a close look at his message when he first started performing as a rapper.
"I realized that I needed to go back to my roots," he says, "because the rap was going toward violence and I didn't want go toward violence. I wanted to go toward consciousness, the direction that would stop young people from being violent."
He grew up with his father's music, which was largely influenced by the sound of American artists such as Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, James Brown and the Jamaican signature rhythms of reggae, ska and rock steady. To these set of tools he has added modern trends, such as reggaeton and R&B, which he imbues with his socially conscious lyrics. He is collaborating with other artists and blending new sounds like he did in his song "Seek the Truth," which features Iranian vocalist, Sol Atash, singing in Farsi.
"My message also is to get people to widen their horizons and to look outside of the box that they are living in," he says, adding that those living in violent areas should work on finding a positive way out.
"If you stay in the areas where there are guns and bullets," he says, "sooner or later they will find you."
A former dancer who appeared regularly on MTV during his high school years, Junior Toots realized early that he needed to work on his voice and his sound if he wanted to follow in the footsteps of his dad. He still tours with his father and is scheduled to open several shows for the Original Wailers, which keeps alive the music of Bob Marley, but most of his concentration is geared toward his solo career. He has produced four albums, including his recent release, "A Little Bit of Love," which was reproduced thanks to donations made through the Kickstarter fundraising site.
The 40-year-old singer sports a look that resembles reggae superstar Jimmy Cliff, as does his sound. A father of six children, Toots says it's difficult to combine his household life with his career. He started his family at age 24, and focused on building a strong bond with his children. Now that the relationships are strong, he can hone in on building his career — a full-time challenge.
"There's lots of pressure," he says, "you don't get to sleep well, you don't get to eat well and it takes a toll on you."Then you have to go the next show and be ready like it's the first show.
"It could be 10th or the 20th show, and whatever is going on emotionally, you have to kind of block it out to do the music. You have to make sure that everybody is having a good time because it's not about you, is about the fans that come to the show."
This is what he learned from his father, whose group is credited with coining the word "reggae" after the release of its 1968 tune "Do the Reggay."
Junior Toot's message echoes that of Bob Marley's children, who have maintained their father's musical tradition while incorporating new ideas. He says he would like to collaborate with the newer generation of the Marley family.
"I'm working on establishing myself so that I can be somebody they would want to work with, not just because of my father."

About this Business
From Our Editors
Nearly every day for more than 25 years, the owner of That Sub Place—a locally-owned, independent business—has worked in the store, hand-selecting the meats, cheeses, and produce he gets delivered to the sandwich shop each morning. After getting pumped up for the day with a few wind sprints, staff members pile bread with 40 different customized combinations of roast beef, honey-baked ham, and avocado for their regular 6-inch portions or their stretched-out 15-inch sandwiches, which diners can order cold, oven-baked, or steamed. Baked onsite daily, eight types of fresh-baked bread bookend cuts of chopped steak, chicken, and roast beef drizzled in 1 of 15 sauces, such as horseradish and chipotle mayo. Along with these subs, cooks custom-build salads with an array of lettuces, cheeses, and veggies such as sprouts and banana peppers.


text: So I finally watched an episode of "American Idol" last night. I wasn't all that impressed with Crystal Bowersox, thought her song lacked passion. Casey and Aaron were not bad, though. I'm not a hugh Shania Twain fan, but luckily the country twang was kept to a minimum. So leave your votes here.


text: Hi all, originally from Bavaria, I worked several years in L.A. (movie business). I'm now spending most of my time in Franconia as a privateer, but still enjoy to travel. I got rid of all my very professional and very expensive camera gear in the past millennium. After a few years of not taking any photographs at all, I returned with a just-for-fun approach, merely using cheap P&S and all-in-one cameras. I startet with Lumix bridge cameras, then moved to Fujifilm (F200EXR, S100FS, HS10, HS20EXR etc.). When Fujifilm came up with their X100, I had to have one of those, as well. And I'm already in line to get one of the first X10 production models. For me, it's all about having fun and enjoying taking memorable pictures, basically for myself, my family and my friends. I definitely enjoy taking pictures with simple, inexpensive, tiny cameras. Could I take better pictures with gear worth $60,000 and an assistant schlepping it over snowy mountains (like we did in the 90s, when I got paid for all of it)? You bet! But where's the fun in that? I love to keep it simple.

Cafe Nero Sketchbook and Coffee III
The Daily Sketchbook and Coffee Routine.
The Daily Sketchbook and coffee Routine.
Sketchbooks have become a daily routine, a melting pot for ideas, observations, thoughts, memories, designs and inventions. A window into a strange inner creative world, the drawings sometimes take a melancholic perspective on the struggles of creativity and day to day life.

Enjoyed it! I thought it was pretty funny.
Lol is just a movie. I did not get offended when they crossed sexes.
It's a very silly and devoid of imagination script. I was bored to tears.
More cussing, sex, and guns. Go watch emoji movie prudes
Movie was funny and not as dark as the original. All the actors were great. Better than the first one.
Loved it! Want to buy it!
Loved it!
Disappoint. am not a prude, but am tired of hollywood elites in their social experiments of cross sexual crap...thought it would be fun like robin wil. movie but was offended when girl becomes man and flirts with all other men and they have to show him how to use penis to pee. WHEN WILL THEY LEARN WE JUST WANT TO SEE FUNNY WITH GOOD STORY LINE WITHOUT ALL THE CUSSING, SEX AND GUNS LIKE THEY USED TO MAKE....TIRED OF IT THATS WHY EVEN THIS KIND OF MOVIE INSULTS SOME OF US WHO STILL CLING TO GOD AND GUNS!!!!!!!!
I loved this movie the acting was great and the plot was really good. I know some people who were hesitant about watching the new jumanji because they were worried it wouldn't be as good as the first but I assure you it is defiantly worth seeing.
Best family movie ever

A flooring that appears to be simple, but in reality is rich in detail and tiny imperfections that makes it unique every time.
The imperfections are not the result of mistakes or negligence, but they are an inherent feature of the concrete-based material used, and the techniques employed.
This is a very versatile flooring, suitable for every kind of interior. The six varieties of colours available allow for the creation of "serious" interiors such as offices, as well as industrial environments.
