Prelude: I was all prepared to write something light – yet close to my heart – about TV. That was the topic of my first German Way post and pertinent as recent changes with Netflix have made watching American TV in Germany much more difficult (details to follow).
But then the bombings in Brussels happened and this article idea felt just as silly and banal as it is. My family just spent Christmas in Brussels at a time of heightened security and I was quick to tut-tut my mom's worries about terrorism. And we were fine. Better than fine – we were in beautiful Brussels around Christmas!
But I realize that is not always the case. It seems that terrorism is permanently occupying our headlines and holds a very real place in our lives. However, I strongly stand behind travel guru Rick Steves' post Don't Be Terrorized and embrace the idea that we must continue to travel. My sympathy goes out to all those affected by the recent bombings and I know I will be back to Brussels soon.
On to the pressing issues of TV….
A hush fell over my fellow expat TV watchers when it was announced that Netflix would be cracking down on VPNs. If you haven't enjoyed the wide world of global Netflix, you may have missed out forever. Let me explain how it was working…
Avid Netflix users like me have surely come across the frustrating scenario where a movie that was once featured on the site is now curiously absent. The fact is, the site regularly features content only for a limited time. However, you can find movies that appeared long-lost with a helpful app and a VPN. Flixsearch (as well as paid services like Smartflix) allow you to find which country a particular movie is available on Netflix – if at all.
This works a surprising amount of the time. While our default is using the US Netflix for TV shows and more indie releases, we have also found every bizarre version of Peter Pan squirreled away in different country's Netflix. With a flip of the VPN we can be in Sweden, Israel or the UK and checking out their vast offerings. This has been a mind-saver for when the Germans are driving me nuts and I just want to pretend I am back in America again (except when my internet isn't working like now).
But, as I mentioned, Netflix threats of limiting or stopping access through VPNs has come to fruition – kind of. Honestly, I don't think Netflix is that motivated to stop the usage as it attracts more users as they go worldwide. But the people who own the movies and license them for a specific country are a little more keen. In my experience, the crackdown has happened and I have been blocked from watching some shows (good-bye Good Wife marathons!) while I have been totally free to VPN my way to others. By refreshing the page after connecting with the VPN or opening a new window we can get around the message of death ("You seem to be using an unblocker or proxy…") a decent amount of time. If that will last remains to be seen.
What German TV You Should Be Watching
So what are us expat TV addicts to do? Get out of our foreign bubble and watch German TV, of course. Here are a few of my favorite German shows (yes, they lean toward the reality variety as there is nothing better than watching Germans in the wild).
Das perfekte Dinner – I have waxed on about my love for this show. Basically it is an amateur cooking show where each night a stranger invites four competitors into their home to show them their awesome knife skills. And because this is Germany, their chefing is often quite impressive. All week you watch a different guest host and by Friday someone has been declared the winner and earns a cash prize.
Brits may know it by the UK version, Come Dine with Me, and if you are familiar with both versions – all the better. In the UK, a large portion of the points seem to be designated on experience. Like, did you have fun? In Germany this is clearly not the case as they dissect how difficult it was to make each dish and points seem to be centered on how restaurant-worthy the dishes appear. The difference between the nations right there in a TV show. Who said my obsession was not educational?
(There is also a Sunday version of the show called Das perfekte Promi Dinner where B-list celebrities play. It is long, even weirder and lets you in on who Germans deem notable. Again – very educational.)
Tatort – Another old standby (and I mean old as this has been on since 1970), this is a German crime show and a Sunday obsession. Bars set-up like there is a soccer match and locals trickle in to see whodunnit? this week. Sarah wrote a whole post on the phenomenon so I won't blather on.
Shopping Queen – This is (almost) total trash and I love it. Much like Das perfekte Dinner, the show lines up five competitors to be featured each day – but this time they are shopping for outfits. I've seen woman style themselves as Bond girls, Greek weekend and even a men's episode, "Lord of the Rings – Find the perfect outfit for your marriage proposal". You will meet host Guido Maria Kretschmer, apparently a German fashion designer and a perfect candidate for Das perfekte Promi Dinner. C'mon Vox! Make this happen.
The Team – We're back into crime with this international thriller about a European investigation team. They are hunting down organized crime across the EU with features on Belgium, Berlin and some seriously sick shots of the Alps. The switching between Danish, German and English will make you very cosmopolitan and the action will keep you on edge.
So, what are you watching?

An Athens teen was arrested Thursday night after he struck a woman in the head with a rock and stole her purse, Athens-Clarke police said.
The 23-year-old victim was walking home from her job at a restaurant downtown when she was assaulted on Pulaski Street about 11 p.m., police said.
As she neared Barrow Street, police said someone ran up from behind and struck her in the head with a rock, then stole the purse from the woman after she fell to the ground.
Officers who were already in the area when the robbery call went out saw a male fitting the suspect's description running from the area. They arrested Qualyn Starks and took him to the downtown police substation for questioning.
The Fairview Street resident was charged with aggravated assault and armed robbery.
The stolen purse was found in front of a home on Pulaski Street, police said.
A police incident report did not mention if the victim required medical attention.

Unicorn Gundam Banshee 02 Wikipedia information
The RX-0 Unicorn Gundam 02 "Banshee" (aka Banshee) is a mobile suit that appears in Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn. It is the sister unit of the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam, built alongside the Unicorn under the Earth Federation's UC Project. The unit was originally piloted by Marida Cruz, but was later assigned to Riddhe Marcenas of the Earth Federation.
After its completion alongside the Unicorn Gundam, the Banshee was stationed on Earth by the Augusta Research Lab and tested for atmospheric combat. Rather than that of a Unicorn, the Banshee's motif is that of a lion, illustrated with gold accents on the forehead, a golden collar to signify a lion's mane, and a much more elaborate horn/V-fin.
The Banshee's armor is all-black and its psychoframe emits a golden-orange glow when the NT-D is activated, giving it the nickname "psychoflame". Although the Banshee lacks the Unicorn's distinctive La+ System, its performance in atmospheric combat is vastly superior, presumably because of a significant reconfiguring of the suit's operating system to account for Earth's gravity and the atmosphere's frictional resistance.
Combat improvements were made according to Unicorn Gundam's battle data, which had been relayed to the Augusta Research Lab. However, the two Gundams have no major operating differences. Aside from lacking the Unicorn's La+ operating system, the Banshee's raw performance is equal to that of the Unicorn. In other words, any modification to the Banshee (i.e. atmospheric combat performance) could also be applied to the Unicorn, making both suits equal in ability.
Developed also by Anaheim Electronics, the RX-0-2 Unicorn Gundam "Banshee" is virtually identical to the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam piloted by Banagher Links, except for its color more ornate V-Fin, and the lack of the La+ system.
At Augusta, Banshee is assigned to the captured but brainwashed Marida Cruz. It first sortied at Dakar to capture the Unicorn Gundam after Riddhe had confronted Banagher about the events of both their family's complicated past. Banagher would then come to battle the Banshee, in an attempt to snap Marida back to her senses and away from Martha's influence. Later after Zinnerman and Banagher managed to bring back Marida, this unit was recovered by the Federation and assigned to Riddhe Marcenas, with Alberto hiding this act from Martha. During the final battle, Banshee confronts Unicorn again and both activated their NT-D. Banshee seemed to have an upper hand since Banagher was unwilling to fight against Riddhe, whom he trusted. In the meantime, Nahel Argama fires to cover Banagher and causes Riddhe to think that everyone is betraying him, and thus aroused by anger he fires at the Nahel Argama, but Marida blocked the shot with her damaged Kshatriya, dying in the process.
The explosion of the Kshatriya's psycho frame lets Marida for the last time tell Banagher to forgive Riddhe, as he was filled with hatred and wanted to blast him out right away. She reminds Banagher that only the unicorn and lion together would bring a new hope. She also tells Zinnerman that she was glad to meet him. Zinnerman begged her not to leave, but she said that she was grateful for his care of her and satified. Riddhe eventually realizes what he should do. Banshee and Unicorn later confront Full Frontal in his damaged Sinanju together, and Banagher killed Frontal. Together with Unicorn, Banshee activated the psychofield and blocked the laser fired from Colony Laser II. Then Banshee joined to stop the attack from EFSF ultimately before the attack was called off.

text: Plans ApprovedOn Monday, May 12, site and operational plans were considered and approved for Niagara Bottling to construct a new bottling facility at 11031 88th Avenue. The facility will be used to manufacture plastic bottles and caps and to bottle water for the Niagara brand and private label customers. The facility will manufacture various types of bottled water in various sized bottles.The company will subdivide approximately 28.5 acres into two lots and construct the facility on approximately 22.8 acres. Approximately 25% of the acres will remain open space. Plans call for a 377,472 square foot building to be built with 88,400 square feet for factory use, 279,693 square feet for storage, and 6,286 for business use. A freestanding guardhouse will also be constructed and a truck court will be fully enclosed. Upon full build-out, the company expects a maximum of 370 and an average of 300 truck trips to and from the site daily in addition to a maximum of 150 and an average of 120 automobile trips daily. The number of full-time employees at full build-out is expected to be between 75 and 105 over four shifts. At start up, the facility will employ 41 full-time positions. Once operational, Niagara will become the largest customer of the Pleasant Prairie Water Utility, eventually offering economies of scale to all Village water and wastewater customers. The company will also purchase spring water from approved spring sources. Village Administrator Mike Pollocoff commented, "We are pleased to welcome another new business to our community. We look forward to Niagara's first day of operation in Pleasant Prairie." Construction is expected to be complete yet this year, and the first bottle is expected to be filled on November 14, 2014.

A judge handed hedge fund titan David Einhorn a large victory earlier this afternoon when he ruled Apple couldn't move forward with its proposal to vote on preferred stock.
U.S. District Judge Richard Sullivan granted a motion by Einhorn's Greenlight Capital to prevent the vote next week at Apple's annual meeting.
Einhorn has spent the past month campaigning against Proposal No. 2, which he says would eliminate Apple's ability to issue preferred shares. Einhorn, an activist investor who has tangled with some of the largest companies in America, suggests issuing preferred stock as a way to increase Apple's capital allocation. Issuing five preferred shares for each common share, Einhorn estimates, would add about $150 in value.
The judge issued the injunction because the proposal sought to do too much. Other investors had criticized Einhorn's oppositional because other parts of the proposal were in fact good for investors. Sullivan largely put a stop to the vote because the proposal was improperly bundled.
"This is a significant win for all Apple shareholders and for good corporate governance. We are pleased the Court has recognized that Apple's proxy is not compliant with the SEC's rules because it bundles different matters in Proposal 2," says a Greenlight spokesman. "We look forward to Apple's evaluation of our iPref idea and we encourage fellow shareholders to urge Apple to unlock the significant value residing on its balance sheet."
Apple CEO Tim Cook had called the legal actions taken by Greenlight a "silly slideshow." Einhorn yesterday said he expected Cook to fully examine the preferred stock proposal, and that an earlier discussion with Apple CFO Pete Oppenheimer left him dissatisfied. A call and email to Apple for comment were not immediately returned.
Shares of Apple closed up 1.1% at $450.81.
Apple is sitting on $137 billion in cash, though it has vowed to return $45 billion to shareholders through stock buybacks and dividends. Einhorn believes Apple should do more, though. He admits many tech companies keep too much cash, but says his preferred share plan could come entirely from Apple's incoming cash flow. The $137 billion could remain unused. What's more, he says, the preferred shares could attract income-hungry investors and help boost the stock further.
Einhorn has made a name and a fortune by pressuring companies in just this fashion. More than a few corporate executives have been stung. Einhorn once tried to oust Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, accusing him of turning the company into a "sinkhole." Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Amazon.com and Chipotle have all suffered once Einhorn set his sights on them. He's become so adept at becoming one of the best gadflies in corporate American that his fortune now totals $1.2 billion, by our estimates.
Taking on Apple was arguably when the spotlight shone brightest on Einhorn, though. He's insisted that the world's most valuable public company was behaving badly. Turns out he was right.

Final thoughts from Supply Chain Advantage
If the materials handling industry is any indicator, the economy is healing.
in the NewsUPS announces new additions to Marketplace Shipping solution Attendance soars for spring's Pack Expo East INTTRA expands ocean carrier network with NAMSUNG Shipping FedEx fiscal second quarter earnings top Wall Street estimates Latest ProGMA video highlights loading dock hazards More News
Editor's note: this article originally ran on the Web site of LM's sister publication, Modern Materials Handling.
Let's go out on a limb: I think the economy is improving. I say that despite the headwinds we all acknowledge, such as persistent unemployment, a continuing crisis in Europe, a potentially nuclear Iran, an election that's too close to call and the impending fiscal cliff.
A reasonable person might ask: What the heck does this guy know? He was an English major. Fair enough. My wife and daughter would probably nod in agreement.
So why am I an optimist? For one, I've noticed that the dialogue among the analyst and professional investment community is changing. The other day on CNBC, one commentator pointed out that all of the headwinds I mentioned above have been plaguing the economy since 2008, and yet we continue to see incremental improvement. And Ken Langone, a legendary investment banker, and Richard Grasso, the former head of the New York Stock Exchange, both opined that the economy has bottomed—they're expecting a nice turnaround beginning in the second half of 2013. That's a time when many have been predicting the start of a double dip.
On Tuesday evening at Supply Chain Advantage in Park City, Steve Forbes, the editor of Forbes magazine and former Republican presidential candidate, acknowledged the tough times we have come through, but predicted good times ahead. The way Forbes sees it, our current situation is not the new normal. It's an anomaly that will pass. He added that if five years from now he's proven right, he'll never let us forget and if he's wrong, well, he'd blame it on the wine. Smart man.
What's the view from the materials handling industry? I put that question to John Baysore, president and CEO of Dematic North America, at Dematic's supply chain conference on Tuesday. For starts, Baysore says Dematic is planning for growth and not a recession. "We divide our business into three segments," he said, outlining the degrees of automation a company may deploy, from simple pick-to-light or voice-pick solutions all the way up to complex integrated systems with multiple automation technologies. "We're expecting growth in all three segments," he said, "with the most significant growth in complex integrated systems."
He pointed out that Dematic is increasing it's R&D spending, especially in the development of software solutions and its portfolio of technologies.
More importantly, he noted that the materials handling industry, and not just Dematic's business, is outpacing economic growth in all of the regions where Dematic does business. "In North America, GDP is growing at 1-1/2 percent a year and the industry is growing from 8-to12 percent," Baysore said. "In Europe, our CEO believes the industry is growing at 4 percent a year. In South America, Brazil is an economy that has taken off. And in Asia, Australia is healthy and China is doing extremely well, as is Korea."
Baysore attributes the industry's growth to a number of dynamics, some of which are specific to certain geographies. In China, for instance, where wages are still relatively inexpensive, the need for accurate inventory and orders is driving automation. Here, manufacturing is automating to take labor out of the equation and get more competitive. In distribution, the e-commerce boom and the increase in each picking is driving the demand for labor saving innovation. "It's just not practical to add hundreds of employees in a piece picking operation," Baysore said. "More importantly, it's difficult to find them. Labor availability is an issue."
I agree with everything Baysore said. I am hearing similar insights from other executives in our industry. At the same time, as Steve Forbes suggested on Tuesday, I think good times are coming, slowly, inexorably and surely. And, hey, if I'm wrong, I can blame it on the wine.

Hunvar's Spire was the headquarters of the Hutt slaver Hunvar, based in Kala'uun on Ryloth. The floor of the dining hall had a hole through which spectators could watch slaves engaged in combat for their entertainment. The upper floors contained Hunvar's living suite, personal treasury, and a well-stocked armory for his guards and jailers.
The Spire was rumored to contain a lost Jedi holocron, but this was in fact a hoax promulgated by slavery opponents in an attempt to lure Jedi or treasure-seekers to raid the Spire and publicize the plight of enslaved Twi'lek females.

Chris H.'s blog is up. He says as soon as Jillian saw Reid, suspicions were confirmed that she had very strong feelings for him still. Goes on to say that while Jillian says now it was always Ed all the way, he can understand why she says it because she wouldn't want to hurt her fiance (whom he thinks she does love), but that regardless of what she says, there was a moment where she doubted and had "serious temptation" with Reid. Also said there was a moment when he really thought she was going to choose Reid.
Jillian, meet Mr. Bus.

El Terrible: dark, spare noise pop from SF
Mine and BB's music tastes are usually somewhat orthogonal, but there's been a few recommendations the last week I've really liked, this being one of 'em for definite.
Right on, Gilbert. Thanks for that. My own tastes can be pretty orthogonal to my tastes, so I hear ya.
Well put.
Is it me or is there no new sound out there in R&R? I like this, but mostly because it sounds just like the dark Velvets influenced postpunk bands I liked 30 years ago.
You might want to ask your friend Terry Ashkinos why he's using my friend Kyle Ranson's art for an EP cover without permission or attribution:
"Kyle Ranson shared a link.10:15am (about an hour ago)so this band used my art for what looks like their new ep. i never heard of them and am not particularly psyched about it"
We thought we had permission but there was a misunderstanding about Kyle's artwork (which we love) and so we are taking it off the EP at his request.
Thanks for responding so quickly and being respectful! I was initially pretty excited about seeing his stuff 'out there' on yr EP cover and hopefully that'll still have a chance to happen..
Although it is kind of amusing that for such great fans of Kyle's you listed him as "unknown artist" on the EP cover.

Annie Leibovitz doesn't often give interviews. Yet she was remarkably transparent and full of stories about her work when she led a group of media professionals on a tour of her new Wexner Center exhibition Friday morning. It was a rare opportunity to get inside the head of one of the world's best-known photographers of the last 40 years.

I've been through the exhibition twice and it's very moving. It really connects you to people and certain points in your life.
The international press is great for Columbus and The Wex. I feel like The Wex has a bigger following outside of Columbus than within the city. Whether that's good or bad, I don't know, but hopefully that will change and this exhibition will open more eyes to this local institution.September 28, 2012 7:34 pm at 7:34 pm #513767

Full court press for Annie
posted by Karen Simonian
From Miami to Montana, Washington, DC to Washington State, media near and far is taking note of our Annie Leibovitz exhibition, featuring her 156-image "Master Set," on view publicly for the first time. More than 100 outlets across the country and overseas picked up the Associated Press story (and accompanying images), from the San Francisco Chronicle to the Providence Journal to UK's Daily Mail.

Press Release:
October 24, 2012
Photographer Annie Leibovitz, whose work is on view in a major exhibition at the Wexner Center, returns November 9 and 10 to receive the Wexner Prize and to engage in a public conversation with Rolling Stone magazine founder Jann S. Wenner.
Annie Leibovitz discusses her work with longtime friend and colleague Jann S. Wenner, the founder, publisher, and editor of Rolling Stone magazine. Their collaboration at Rolling Stone in the 1970s is legendary, and in the years since, each has gone on to play a profound part in shaping and interpreting our social, cultural, and political history. Wenner is also included in the Wexner Center's Annie Leibovitz
Also that weekend, Leibovitz will receive the 14th Wexner Prize in a private ceremony Saturday, November 10 at 7:30 pm. Wexner Center Foundation board chair Leslie H. Wexner comments, "Artistic, adventurous, curious, and deeply committed to creative experimentation, Annie Leibovitz embodies the very ideals of the Wexner Center for the Arts and the Prize. She has delved into myriad facets of American culture with her camera over the last 40-plus years, giving us a fresh perspective on people at the forefront of their respective fields. On the occasion of the exhibition of her work at the Wexner Center this fall, we are thrilled to award the 14th Wexner Prize to Leibovitz."
The Prize ceremony takes place at the beginning of the Wexner Center's 23rd Anniversary Party. Later that night, starting at 10:30 pm and running until 2 am, is Last Shot, a GenWex party featuring DJ Venus X, food, drink, and more. Last Shot is open to the public; tickets are $30 for the general public and $20 for Wexner Center members, and available at tickets.wexarts.org or 614-292-3535.

Let's start with the most fundamental question; the one we ask when we first set foot in a gallery, the one we ask as our eyes first pan across the works in an exhibition. Let's start with the question that precedes all subsequent exposition, interpretation and explanation. What are we looking at?

|Press Briefing
The 1996 Habitat Agenda -- adopted at the United Nations Conference on Human Settlements in Istanbul -- had provided a platform for grass-roots women to push for the issues they cared about, Jan Peterson, Chair of the Secretariat of the Huairou Commission, told correspondents this afternoon at a Headquarters press conference.
Ms. Peterson was joined by Litha Musyimi-Ogana, Regional Director, the African Centre for Empowerment, Gender and Advocacy; and Norelle Townsend and Nicky Nzioki, Co-Chairs of the International Facilitating Group for Non-Governmental Organizations for Istanbul +5.
Habitat, Ms. Peterson continued, was probably the only conference which allowed for such a large participation of grass-roots women. They were hardly represented at the Commission on Sustainable Development and even within the Beijing process, grass-roots women had a very small voice. While the United Nations Centre for Human Settlements (Habitat) in Nairobi was a small one, it had opened its doors to foster a dialogue with grass-roots organizations and enable them to have a place in which to participate.
Habitat was a "bottom-up" agency and the only one located in a developing country, she said. While it often did not get the visibility it deserved, it was leading the one agenda that really affected the poor. She was excited that Habitat, which used to only look at housing, had taken serious steps to engender its entire process.
Ms. Musyimi-Ogana felt that the negotiations which were taking place currently were "less depressing" than expected. Having participated in the numerous "plus fives" preceding the special session, she knew well the difficulties in concluding an outcome document on time. The informal consultations surrounding the session were nothing compared to those held in conjunction with "Beijing +5".
The Facilitating Group, stated Mr. Nzioki, had been able to accommodate all the non-governmental organizations that had an interest in the Habitat Agenda. The Group had been a feature of the entire Habitat process. He called for maintaining a space where people of diverse views could participate in their own way.
In that context, he commended the Centre, which had been striving to maintain such a space. He was particularly gratified that a resolution had been adopted by the General Assembly last year enabling non-governmental organizations to participate in the plenary, the Thematic Committee and the Committee of the Whole during the special session. That was a unique feature of the Habitat process.
Ms. Townsend pointed out that there were 2,500 non-governmental organizations accredited to Habitat, with only about 10 per cent of those having consultative status with the Economic and Social Council.

Final Manuscript Preparation Guidelines for International Education
This document provides details on typesetting and layout requirements pertaining to final manuscript submission to International Education.
Formatting Requirements
- Do not include a title page or abstract. (Begin the document with the introduction; a title page, including the abstract, will be added to your paper by the editors.)
- Do not include page numbers, headers, or footers. These will be added by the editors.
- Write your article in English (unless the journal expressly permits non-English submissions).
- Submit your manuscript, including tables, figures, appendices, etc., as a single file (Word, RTF, or PDF files are accepted).
- Page size should be 8.5 x 11-inches.
- All margins (left, right, top and bottom) should be 1.5 inches (3.8 cm), including your tables and figures.
- Single space your text.
- Use a single column layout with both left and right margins justified.
- Font:
- Main Body—12 pt. Times or the closest comparable font available
- Footnotes—10 pt. Times or the closest comparable font available
- If figures are included, use high-resolution figures, preferably encoded as encapsulated PostScript (eps).
- Copyedit your manuscript.
- When possible, there should be no pages where more than a quarter of the page is empty space.
Additional Recommendations
Indenting, Line Spacing, and Justification
Indent all paragraphs except those following a section heading. An indent should be at least 2 em-spaces.
Do not insert extra space between paragraphs of text with the exception of long quotations, theorems, propositions, special remarks, etc. These should be set off from the surrounding text by additional space above and below.
Don't "widow" or "orphan" text (i.e., ending a page with the first line of a paragraph or beginning a page with the last line of a paragraph).
All text should be left-justified (i.e., flush with the left margin—except where indented). Where possible, it should also be right-justified (i.e., flush with the right margin). "Where possible" refers to the quality of the justification. For example, LaTeX and TeX do an excellent job of justifying text. Word does a reasonable job. But some word processors do a lousy job (e.g., they achieve right justification by inserting too much white space within and between words). We prefer flush right margins. However, it is better to have jagged right margins than to have flush right margins with awkward intra- and inter-word spacing. Make your decision on whichever looks best.
Language & Grammar
All submissions must be in English. Except for common foreign words and phrases, the use of foreign words and phrases should be avoided.
Authors should use proper, standard English grammar. The Elements of Style by William Strunk, Jr. and E. B. White (now in its fourth edition) is the "standard" guide, but other excellent guides (e.g., The Chicago Manual of Style, University of Chicago Press) exist as well.
Article Length
Recommended lengths vary for critical essays, research studies (7500 words); book reviews (1000-2000 words). Authors should include an abstract with their submission.
Emphasized text
Whenever possible use italics to indicate text you wish to emphasize rather than underlining it. The use of color to emphasize text is discouraged.
Font faces
Except, possibly, where special symbols are needed, use Times or the closest comparable font available. If you desire a second font, for instance for headings, use a sans serif font (e.g., Arial or Computer Modern Sans Serif).
Font size
The main body of text should be set in 12pt. Avoid the use of fonts smaller than 6pt.
Foreign terms
Whenever possible, foreign terms should be set in italics rather than underlined.
Headings (e.g., start of sections) should be distinguished from the main body text by their fonts or by using small caps. Use the same font face for all headings and indicate the hierarchy by reducing the font size. There should be space above and below headings.
Main text
The font for the main body of text must be black and, if at all possible, in Times or closest comparable font available.
Whenever possible, titles of books, movies, etc., should be set in italics rather than underlined.
Footnotes should appear at the bottom of the page on which they are referenced rather than at the end of the paper. Footnotes should be in 10 pt. Times or closest comparable font available, they should be single spaced, and there should be a footnote separator rule (line). Footnote numbers or symbols in the text must follow, rather than precede, punctuation. Excessively long footnotes are probably better handled in an appendix. All footnotes should be left and right-justified (i.e., flush with the right margin), unless this creates awkward spacing.
Tables and Figures
To the extent possible, tables and figures should appear in the document near where they are referenced in the text. Large tables or figures should be put on pages by themselves. Avoid the use of overly small type in tables. In no case should tables or figures be in a separate document or file. All tables and figures must fit within 1.5" margins on all sides (top, bottom, left and right) in both portrait and landscape view.
Roman letters used in mathematical expressions as variables should be italicized. Roman letters used as part of multi-letter function names should not be italicized. Whenever possible, subscripts and superscripts should be a smaller font size than the main text.
Short mathematical expressions should be typed inline. Longer expressions should appear as display math. Also expressions using many different levels (e.g., such as the fractions) should be set as display math. Important definitions or concepts can also be set off as display math.
Equations should be numbered sequentially. Whether equation numbers are on the right or left is the choice of the author(s). However, you are expected to be consistent in this.
Symbols and notation in unusual fonts should be avoided. This will not only enhance the clarity of the manuscript, but it will also help insure that it displays correctly on the reader's screen and prints correctly on her printer. When proofing your document under PDF pay particular attention to the rendering of the mathematics, especially symbols and notation drawn from other than standard fonts.
It is the author's obligation to provide complete references with the necessary information. Manuscripts should conform to the most recent Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association. Articles accepted for publication but not in conformance will be returned to the author for revision.
The following guidelines are based on the sixth edition (2009) of the Publication Manual.
Required: Author (last name, initials only for first & middle names). (Publication date). Title of book. Place of publication: Publisher.
Example: Sherman, C., & Price, G. (2001). The invisible web: Uncovering information sources search engines can't see. Medford, NJ: CyberAge Books.
Articles from Print Periodicals:
Required: Author (last name, initials only for first & middle names). (Article publication date). Title of article. Title of publication, volume & issue number, page numbers.
Example: Stock, C. D., & Fisher, P. A. (2006). Language delays among foster children: Implications for policy and practice. Child Welfare, 85(3), 445-462..

Strauchanie a legend? Yep, it's official
Channel Ten's Strauchanie.
WELL, he's been huffing and puffing about how good he is and heavens knows how long it is now since his teammates at Collingwood have had to put up with him but we're pleased to report that football's moment of truth has finally arrived. For organisers of next Wednesday's E.J. Whitten Legends match will announce today they have decided to do what the Magpies so far have not had the courage to do they have chosen Bryan Keith Strauchan, better known to us all as "Strauchanie", to play his first game. Yep, the Horsham-born "superstar" (hey, who are we to doubt him?) whom legend tells us was taken by the Pies as the last pick in the 2004 draft will get to strut his stuff (wearing a Big V guernsey no less) against the All Stars in a match that fittingly (well, according to Strauchanie, anyway) will be telecast live for the first time in the charity event's 12-year history. But here's the real interesting bit despite Strauchanie having strong ties to Channel Ten, where he appears regularly on the Before The Game program, the match will be screened on rival network Nine. Which, if nothing else, is an indication of how big a superstar the bloke with the long blond locks has become (and all this while having so far not played a game). "It's ironic that Strauchanie will debut in a legends game when the monkeys on the Collingwood selection committee won't give him a go," was how the bloke himself summed up his Telstra Dome call-up. "But Strauchanie reckons why dance in your bedroom when you can go to the ball?" Now, if we could get serious for a minute (and let's be honest, that's not easy when you're talking about Strauchanie), we should mention that funnyman Pete Hellier, who bears a remarkable resemblance to the Collingwood rookie, is just a little nervous about Strauchanie's debut. Not as much as his Ten bosses are, though. What if he got hurt? Worse still, what if his blond hair falls off? And as for a Ten personality appearing on Nine? That's easy not only does Ten see the event as wonderful promotion of one of its most popular characters, but it even has done a deal whereby Ten will be allowed to show footage of his debut on Before The Game the following Saturday. Truth is, Strauchanie's been on Nine before, when he not only played in a celebrity cricket match but even won man of the match. Wonder what Mick Malthouse will have to say for himself if he repeats the effort at Telstra Dome tonight week?
Mark of a starMARK McVeigh's final-quarter goal for Essendon last Saturday night may have been the most controversial goal of the round maybe even the year but there's no doubting it was a beauty as well. That was acknowledged yesterday when it was one of three round-10 nominations for AFL goal of the year, along with the ones scored by Geelong's David Wojcinski and Brisbane Lion Nigel Lappin. But it was also further proof how much the Bombers have been dominating the awards this season not only have they now had 12 nominations so far, double that of their closest rivals the Lions and the Kangaroos (six each), but of the 18 weekly winners already decided, Essendon players have six of them, including two by McVeigh.
Shades of '77 (almost)THIS for the "what could have been file" had Peter Everitt not punched through a behind after the three-quarter-time siren last Saturday night, not only would the Essendon-Sydney game have ended in a draw, making it two for the night, but the final scoreline would have been the same as the Richmond-Brisbane Lions match (73-73). What's more, it would have been the first time since round seven, 1977, that we would have had two draws in one round, when Essendon drew with Richmond and St Kilda drew with the Swans.
Not good enough, son!WE'VE had a bit lately of players kicking swags of goals but not getting any recognition from their team. Here's another for the list, this one involving Southern Footy League division three team Black Rock, which beat South Yarra by 32 points last weekend. Pity about Andrew Topakis, though. Playing in his first game for Black Rock, he kicked nine of the team's 14 goals yet didn't make it into the team's best six players.
Logo oozing OzGOOD to see Australia not forgotten in this week's unveiling of the bizarre-looking 2012 London Olympics logo surely that's a map of Oz in the top right-hand corner, isn't it? One bloke who certainly agreed with us was Cricket Australia media boss Philip Pope, a former chief press attache for the British Olympic Association, who was part of the original London bid lobbying committee. "Sure looks like a map of Oz," Pope said yesterday. "Maybe the committee are still thinking of me. On one side is London, where I'm from, and on the other is where I now live!" The word out of Britain is that the different shapes in the logo will gradually change in the lead-up to 2012 and finally turn into an athlete.
Oh, Juddy!
SOME disturbing news out of Perth yesterday concerning high-profile sports star Juddy, who has learned he has to have a testicle removed, throwing his immediate future into disarray. The relief, though, for West Coast fans not to mention Chris Judd himself is that the medical condition does not apply to the Eagle champion but to his greyhound namesake, a Victorian star that finished unplaced in last weekend's West Australian Derby at Perth's Cannington racetrack. According to Juddy's Victorian trainer, Darren McDonald, the greyhound often squeezed his testicles while galloping around corners, a trait that has resulted in the surgery being necessary. Makes our eyes water just thinking about it.
Brad luck, kid! How Archie gave it to slip-up keeper
MAKING blunders that cost your team the match are bad enough but it's worse when you do so when representing your country. Just ask Socceroos debutant goalkeeper Brad Jones, who did the unthinkable against Uruguay last weekend. Bad luck if he was hoping for some sympathy from his fellow Socceroos, though. Teammate Archie Thompson revealed yesterday that as a way of helping Jones get over his shocker instead of comforting him in the dressing rooms later, his teammates, Thompson in particular, gave him plenty of stick. "I threw a few oranges at him to see if he could catch them and he did," joked Thompson during a Windy Hill promotion in which he and Essendon skipper Matthew Lloyd had a goalkicking shootout involving football and soccer balls. "He (Jones) was probably more disappointed than we were," Thompson said. "It wasn't a significant match in any way that we were qualifying for anything, it was just a friendly, so I'm sure he's a professional and he's used to this sort of pressure and he'll come back bigger and stronger." Asked whether lacking match practice had an impact on Jones (who can't get a game at Middlesbrough because of Mark Schwarzer), he said: "That's bloody Schwarzy's fault, no one can get a gig anywhere with that guy!" By the way, Thompson, who played Australian footy as a kid and is now a Bomber fan, beat Lloyd 2-1 each had 12 shots, six with a soccer ball and six with an Australian football, all at a makeshift goal even though Lloyd spent several years as a child in Scotland, "so the first sport I ever played was soccer". The last word also went to Thompson. Asked how he felt about winning the contest, he joked: "It would be better if I got something for it."
Who said that?You might as well stay home and stick pins into yourself.

Did you catch "Operation Safe Corridor" today on busy, busy Geary Boulevard today? It seems Richmond Station Captain Richard Corriea and the San Francisco Police Department really, really want you to obey speed limits, stop at stop signs, and yield to pedestrians. Why's that? Well, four pedestrian deaths in the Richmond District last year might have something to do with it.
Today's effort isn't a secret or anything. If you didn't catch yesterday's announcement in the Richmond Forum, then witessing three motorists pulled over at the same time by three SFPD vehicles within a block of each other might clue you in.
Thusly. Click to expand:
This looks to be the biggest enforcement action ever. How many moving violations will get handed out today?

Southampton Still Smarting From Defeat
Since arriving at Southampton Dean has played his old club three times and is itching to get a win at last after two 0-0 draws at home and a 2-1 defeat at Colchester.
Talking to the Saints Player he said,'It makes me more determined to win because you always like to get one over on your old team. I think I've played them three times since I've been at Southampton and we haven't beaten them yet. We've drawn twice and lost once, so it'll be nice for myself and obviously for the club as well!'
The game at Walsall was a big disappointment because the team didn't play badly but simply could not score. Chances went begging partly through some good work from the keeper and partly through bad luck. Shots were blocked or deflected and then there were shots cleared from the line.
Colchester have a great record at home and will be fairly confident of getting a result against us.
Dean said that after the game the team were bitterly disappointed but after the Monday team meeting they felt a little better.
The good point was that we played well and should have won. We didn't score and it is felt that one goal would have led to a few more as the chances were coming on a regular basis.
Dean is looking forward to the game even though he will expect to get some stick. He says how much he enjoyed his time there and that he is expecting a good atmosphere.
This is another of those games where we will not be expected to win though it is possible. Hopefully we will be able to put a chance or two away which will help.

These "personal" pages are very, VERY out of date. I don't really maintain them anymore; but there are a few things here people still refer to, so I don't want to delete them. So enjoy the bad design and ugly color choices, from back when the millenium was new and shiny...
The Road to Mac
I was a Windows user (and prior to that, DOS) from the late 1980s until roughly the Autumn of 2000; at which point I decided to look for something better - so I switched to Linux. But after working with Linux as my primary operating system for a few years, I got tired of getting frustrated. Don't get me wrong - most of the time I loved Linux (and still do, especially on servers). But it could still be so mind-achingly obscure at times, even for some surprisingly simple tasks. I'm reasonably savvy with Linux, and can figure out how to do most anything - but I got tired of having to do that on a regular basis.
Enter OS X.
I made the switch in late 2003; and I still love it. Thanks to OS X's BSD underbelly I can still count on Unix-level security and stability; but the real big deal about this operating system is that things just work. A well-designed, beautiful, and intuitive graphical interface; no drivers to install; no registry tweaks or DLL version conflicts; no DCOM vulnerabilities... and I still have access to all my nifty "Linux" command line tools when I want them. Life is good.
As I discover information about OS X that I believe others might find useful, I'll post it here.
Linux (and other computing) Information
While I'm no longer using Linux actively on my personal desktop, I'm keeping these archive pages available to everyone. There seems to still be a need for this information - at least if the "thank you" e-mail I get is any indication.
If you want to contact me, my e-mail address is

Louisville is at home tonight. Chad Reineke on the mound. He has pitched two scoreless innings. Bats went 1-2-3 in the first but Soto and Hessman have started off the second with Bats2Bats singles. Nothing comes of it. 0-0 after two.
Chad Reineke's ERA is now 0.51 after these three scoreless frames (and counting) tonight. Hamilton smokes one that the Gwinnett left fielder catches running into the wall at the 375 sign. Inning over. No score through three.
Reineke streak was in serious danger until Billy Hamilton guns a runner down at the plate to end the threat. Soto with a walk to lead things off in the home half of the fourth. In the fifth Hamilton simply outruns a ball hit into the gap and makes a fine backhanded grab. Nice.
I am pretty certain I hear Wooing in Louisville. Phipps reaches first on a single to lead off the fifth. Poor throw on a pickoff attempt sends Phipps to second. Grounder to short and Phipps moves up 90 feet. Runner on third with one out. Yes. Wooing is spreading from stadium to stadium. Phipps is stranded as Reineke and Hamilton strike out. Yep. Strikeouts are the same as any other out.
Reineke has hurled six scoreless frames. Bats need to get him a run.
Gwinnett threatens in the seventh, putting two on with one out. Batter interference for out number two. Fly ball ends the rally. Reineke with seven shutout innings.
Donald and Phipps walk with one out. Got to get one home. Wirfin Obispo on in relief. A fly ball and strike out later and it is nothing nothing on to the eighth.
Curtis Partch will pitch the eighth. Reineke's final numbers are: 7IP 5H 0R 0ER 1BB 4K (0.42 ERA) Partch pitches a scoreless inning. He is 6'5". 238 pounds.
Big mistake. They walked Billy Hamilton to start the bottom half of the eighth. First pitch he takes off and steals second without a thow. 14 for 15 on stolen base attempts. The only time he was caught, I am pretty sure, was when he was picked off and opted to take off for second. Hamilton worries the crud out of Obispo and forces him to balk. Hamilton on third with one out. Infield in. Grounder right at the shortstop. Hamilton is called out but argues that he touched the plate with his hand. He won't win that argument. Two outs, runner on first. Wild pitch moves HRod into scoring position. Soto whiffs. On to the ninth.
Gwinnett gets on the scoreboard. A bunt single, a passed ball, a one-out single. 1-0. Still batting. A balk (the ball fell out of the hand of Partch while he was in the stretch position) and a wild pitch and the runner is at third. Walk. Partch limits the damage with a K and a liner to Burriss at short. Need one for some free baseball. Bats go without even a whimper in the ninth.
Louisville loses 1-0.

Governor Cuomo Announces Canal Corporation to Receive Federal Reimbursement for Storm Damages
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today announced that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has approved over $49 million in reimbursements for recovery and mitigation work related to Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee for the New York State Canal Corporation. Damages have been estimated to total $80 million.
This funding will provide significant financial assistance to the New York State Canal Corporation in its work to repair damages caused by Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee along the Erie Canal, Governor Cuomo said. With this aid, we can maintain the important role that this waterway plays in New Yorks economy, tourism and recreation industries.
This is a major step in building New Yorks Canal System back stronger than ever, said Canal Corporation Director Brian U. Stratton. Our canals are a vital resource for upstate New Yorkfrom serving as a tourism destination for thousands to its place as an economic engine with an annual impact of $380 million. This federal assistance will now give us the opportunity to restore what was lost and begin a new chapter in the history of New Yorks canals.
In the months following Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee, the Canal Corporation identified seven projects between Lock 8 (Scotia) and Lock 12 (Fort Johnson) that were eligible for FEMA claims. The work, which includes structural repairs, paving, concrete work, pier construction, and erosion control, is estimated to cost $65,766,063. FEMA reimbursements will cover $49,324,547 of the cost.
Additionally, the Canal Corporation was awarded $4.2 million in reimbursements as part of its $34 million flood mitigation project to reinforce the eight movable dams in the Mohawk Valley.
Through the Public Assistance Program, FEMA provides supplemental federal disaster grant assistance for debris removal, emergency protective measures, and the repair, replacement, or restoration of disaster-damaged and publicly owned facilities. The federal share of assistance is not less than 75 percent of the eligible cost for emergency measures and permanent restoration.

Family Law
Ask a Family Law Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
Hi, thank you for your question. Just a bit more information required to fully assist you:-How old are you both?-Did you cohabit immediately prior to the marriage, if so for how long?-Please list all assets and pensions do you both have (both sole and joint), together with values and outstanding mortgages and debts?-What are your respective incomes?
Are either of the properties the matrimonial home, if so which one?
Thank you for confirming. Firstly, arising out of the marriage she has matrimonial home rights which entitle her to occupy the matrimonial home until at least divorce is granted and she will be entitled to make a claim to at least that property, despite there being no financial contributions. This right arises out of the marriage. In relation to the debt - if it can be demonstrated that this was for matrimonial purposes it would be reasonable for this to be shared between you. Furthermore, given the discrepancies in income she would have grounds to claim spousal maintenance for her reasonable needs, or in lieu of spousal maintenance she can seek a greater share of the assets.
The Court's starting point is a 50-50 split of all matrimonial assets and ensuring that both your needs are met in relation to both assets and income. For your information the criteria considered by the court in these matters is:1. The income, earning capacity, property and other financial resources which each of the parties to the marriage has or is likely to have in the foreseeable future, including in the case of earning capacity any increase in that capacity which it would in the opinion of the court be reasonable to expect a party to the marriage to take steps to acquire;2. The financial needs, obligations and responsibilities which each of the parties to the marriage has or is likely to have in the foreseeable future;3. The standard of living enjoyed by the family before the breakdown of the marriage;4. The age of each party to the marriage and the duration of the marriage;5. Any physical or mental disability of either of the parties to the marriage;6. The contributions which each of the parties has made or is likely in the foreseeable future to make to the welfare of the family, including any contribution by looking after the home or caring for the family;7. The conduct of each of the parties, if that conduct is such that it would in the opinion of the court be inequitable to disregard it;8. In the case of proceedings for divorce or nullity of marriage, the value to each of the parties to the marriage of any benefit which, by reason of the dissolution or annulment of the marriage, that party will lose the chance of acquiring.I hope this assists you. If you found this information helpful please provide a positive rating using the stars at the top of this page. I will not be credited for your question without a positive rating. Thank you
You have a legal interest in the home and therefore are able to continue occupying it unless there is a court order preventing you.
I hope this assists you. If you found this information helpful please provide a positive rating using the stars at the top of this page. I will not be credited for your question without a positive rating. Thank you

What is the conflict between Ralph and Jack in Lord of the Flies?

Ralph did not always represent the good in the novel Lord of the Flies by William Golding. Although we tend to associate the conflict between the two boys in terms of good and evil, the reality in the text is much more blurred. For example, when Ralph first meets Piggy, he is not good or spiritual; enough to recognise the good (priceless) qualities of this new potential friend. a true friend is one of the most precious things we can be lucky enough to attain in life, yet when the other boys come along, Ralph spurns Piggy. He even joins in with the evil derision by betraying Piggy's trust and telling the boys his nick name. So the whole book is about conflict - the inner conflicts of the individual as well as the outer conflicts between individuals
I guess you could say that there is conflict on two levels. On the literal level (what is actually going on in the book) the two are in conflict because they both want to lead the group of boys. They also do not agree on what is most important -- hunting or building huts and trying to get rescued.
On a more figurative level (symbolic), Jack is the dark side of human nature. He is in conflict with the part of human nature that wants to be civilized and do good things.
In the book Lord of the Flies Ralph is appointed leader by the boys whn they land on the island. Jack felt that he should have been the leader because he is the leader of the boy's choir. It is their first conflict.
Later Jack becomes more savage. He desires to be the hunter and make a kill. As he exerts his power through his ability to hunt and kill, the other boys are drawn to him. He maintains his power through his savage behaviors and bullying. He is essentially the evil of man.
Ralph tries to maintain dignity and compassion despite the trials of living on the island. He slowly loses control of the boys as their leader. Ralph is the good side of mankind and he wants to continue to have order and civilized behavior.

The Great Prohibition: Using Cell Phones Outside the Ban
- When: Session Three: Saturday 2:30pm–4:00pm Where: Room 313 Who: Lisa Nielsen, George Engel
Affiliation: The Innovative Educator Blog, Blogs.cellularlearning.org Conversational Focus/Audience: High School, Middle School
I've attended several conference presentations about the role of cell phones in learning. Generally, the conversation tends toward, "Yes, they're important in learning," and then moves to a discussion of tools.
While I see the possibility for that here, I'm also hopeful for a discussion of pedagogy and the thought processes surrounding building lessons utilizing these devices. I'm hopeful the conversation will include consideration of standard lesson plans and how mobile technologies an be transformative to the learning outcomes of those plans.
My questions heading into the conversation are:
- How do you know if you're using mobile technologies simply because they're shiny rather than using them because they're the ideal tool?
- What are the best approaches to designing lessons that allow for students without access to mobile technologies that don't water down the assignments?
- How can we better harness the communication power of the technologies along with the creative power?
- Are teachers using their mobile devices in the same way they're asking their students to use those same devices?
- What are the implications of mobile technologies in how we approach reading, writing and research instruction? More simply, how, if at all, does the incorporation of mobile technologies require us to teach differently?
- What are the inherent properties of the devices that can assist learning apart from additional apps?
- What's the scholarship around mobile devices in education?
I'm glad Lisa and George are leading this conversation, and I look forward to hearing what the other folks in the room have to say. I'm hopeful, as the title suggestions, we'll be able to move past the bans and focus on the pedagogical implications.
Where will you be conversing during Session 3? How are you starting to build your context for the conversation?

Bar Babylon
Pantai Cenang, Langkawi, Malaysia
Bar Babylon Langkawi Reviews
42 reviews
Beach Mat Lounge with great drinks and reggae music Jul 22, 2011
Stumbled upon this place by accident as we were heading down the street to get to our cars to head to Sunba (a bar in Pantai Tengah). We were walking and we heard reggae music coming from the beach and we decided to walk in this dark path. There weren't any lighting at the footpath but if you follow the music.. you'll be safe. Passing what looked a little bit like a junk yard we were amazed to see a rustic looking lounge with mats on the sand, lighted oil lamps on wood bark low tables and people on the mats enjoying their drinks. Walking further in.. on the right, there was this stage and a 3 piece band with the lead looking the part of a rasta king. Aiman (the lead singer), who had an amazing voice, was singing popular Marley tunes.
Loved the relaxed ambiance, the casualness of the staff and the people around it.. Shissha's were available as well adding to the rustic feel of the place. There were a couple of people laying on the beach enjoying the best of the bar and the night on the sand.
I had a couple of beers there.... there was a separate bar that was serving up cocktails but I stuck to the bar serving beers. Price was, I guess it was a little bit on a high side (well, it was a bar and you can't find beers here cheaper than the ones you get at the store) but still cheaper than the city. RM5 for a can of Tiger Beer.
The places closes at 12:30 a.m and the music ends by midnight, due to regulations as there are chalets next door. If you're still in the mood to party, you could always head up to Pantai Tengah where Sunba opens till 2 a.m and well.. that's what most of them do anyways. Just follow the crowd :)

However, since about December 2012, when I now put in the URL, the website doesn't appear. I can only get access to the website when I google, Origine Art. Then the URL appears that has "wordpress" in the URL, and reads: http://origineartuk.wordpress.com/.
I am unsure why this has happened. Could you advise me how I can get the URL, http://www.origineart.com, to work again since this is the URL I am promoting to customers.
Many thanks,

Six Ways to Prevent and Remove Weeds
Although a few weeds can be tolerated in most lawns, and may be valuable for increasing the garden's biodiversity and for attracting beneficial insects such as bees and butterflies, too many can look unsightly and may spread quickly if you do not deal with them promptly.
Weed-suppressing mulch
Covering soil with weed-suppressing membrane is an effective method of preventing weeds from germinating. This is useful for bare soil but should not be used on lawns since it will kill the grass. It can also be used to warm the ground prior to sowing grass seed.
Preparatory spraying
Drenching the soil with contact weedkiller prior to sowing prevents weed seeds from germinating. This should only be used on bare soil and not directly on lawns. Specific dilution and spraying rates should be strictly followed according to the label.
Removing weeds with a fork is a useful method because it generally avoids chopping through perennial roots, which helps to propagate them. Hand forks can be used for clumps within the lawn. Large forks should only be used in large areas to prepare for grass seed or turf.
Daisy grubber
This useful tool is pushed deep into the soil and then levered, prising out persistent perennial weeds like thistles and dandelions with their taproots intact. Due to its slender, compact shape, the grubber causes minimal damage to the lawn when inserted.
Selective weedkiller
Designed to be sprayed on lawns, these chemicals kill broadleaf weeds without harming the grass. Chemicals can either be bought ready to spray or they will need to be diluted beforehand. Always wear protective clothing.
Systemic weedkiller
Brushing or wiping weedkiller onto individual weeds in the lawn can be a laborious process but is useful for spot treating small areas. The chemicals are taken in through the leaf and down into the root system, killing the plant.

They will impart further training in yoga to the personnel of their own battalions so that the personnel posted in remote areas can also benefit from yoga.
Over 60,000 personnel of para-military forces have undergone art of living course conducted by the Vyakti Vikas Kendra. (ANI)
