No, it's not a hoax! Roger Federer announced the newest additions to his family today (via Facebook):
"Mirka and I are so incredibly happy to share that Leo and Lenny were born this evening! Twins again.. miracle!"
I'm a bit speechless, and basically filled with excitement, awe and yes, a whole bunch of questions. Are they identical? And if so, will they look like Mirka, or will Roger now have four mini Rogers dressed in coordinating outfits? Will Wayne Bryan be called in to coach? Is Lenny Kravitz going to be godfather? Exactly how many doubles team can these kids put together? Can we talk the Federers into starting their own World Team Tennis family team? Okay, okay no pressure. . .let's let these two learn how to latch first.
In case you were wondering, a quick internet search pulled up these nuggets:
"If a woman has one set of identicals, her chance of having another is 1 in 70,000 or less." (A miracle indeed!) "The odds of having one set of identicals and one set of fraternals is 1 in 10,000." Okay, either way, they're overachieving.
Perhaps the most rational, tennis-nerdy question is to wonder what this means for Roger's upcoming French Open campaign. The first round of the tournament begins on Sunday, May 25, which is cutting it close, based on Roger's update from just ten hours ago.
"I've decided to withdraw from Madrid to be with my wife Mirka during these next few exciting weeks for our family. I apologize to my fans and hope to be back in Madrid next year. I'll be training near my home, and am excited to rejoin the Tour soon!"
I'm assuming Mirka was already in labor at the point of this last post, and perhaps Roger took a quick breather by the vending machines to update his Facebook status. The wording of "a few weeks" is obviously giving him some wiggle room in terms of his schedule. No doubt Rome is off the calendar but the French. . .well, with Djokovic and Rafa dealing with their own issues, this is probably one of his best, last chances to get his lovely hands on the coupe again. But of course, it's family first! Especially now that Mirka and Roger are outnumbered.
(And sorry for the long hiatus – I promise we'll be perked up in time for the French — hopefully Roger will, too!)
Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.

Is Singapore exposed to generic drugs? How can a generic drug developer access the Singapore market?
Since it is a well-known fact that the pipeline for innovative drugs is drying up, Singapore is open to generics drugs from all companies and countries as long as they meet the safety criteria. To enter the Singapore market, if the drug is already approved by one international drug regulatory agency, an abridged dossier has to be provided to the HSA for abridged evaluation and regulatory decision. This takes 240 working days. If the product is approved by reference regulatory agency that includes the US Food and Drug Administration, Health Canada, UK Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency, Australia Therapeutic Goods Administration and European Medicines Agency, a company has to provide just the verification dossier for the evaluation based on assessment report by reference regulatory agency and regulatory decision. In this case, it takes 120 working days.
Singapore's generic drugs are manufactured in different parts of the world. Based on our registration data from 2010 to 2012, more than 50 percent of generic drugs are manufactured in Europe and the other top three countries are India, the US and Malaysia.
What is the status of approval of generic drugs against new drugs in Singapore?

Best Indoor Heli ???
I know that the following type of question usually yeilds biased opinions from individuals dedicated to one product or another, but here goes! For exclusive indoor (house) flying, which small heli is best suited? I've got three nitro's for outside, thought I'd give the indoor stuff a shot!
THX, Randy |

Hi Randy
If you are talking strictly for indoor flying, I guess the piccolo will be the best bet. With its lower head speed, it is more friendlier to fly in the house. The hornet will do just as well, but what i heard is that the hornet is better suited outdoors. I owned a piccolo myself and it performs great indoors. It will fly great outdoors with some modification (or converting to CP), but the feeling of confidence is not there when I fly it outside. Both have their ups and downs. I will definitely get a hornet when the CP version comes out. But for indoor flying, the piccolo is the one to go for. Alvin |
For indoor flying I would suggest either the MIA Housefly or the piccolo. I can't say "absolutly" yet on the housefly as mine is waiting for it's first flight, but from all external apperances it appears to be the ultimate indoor heli. The piccolo is also good for indoors as it is bounceable. Assuming the MIA housefly actually does fly (there is no reason not to) I'd say it is the best indoor flyer because of its small size and ultra light weight. The piccolo is already proven to be a good flyer, but it is bigger, heavier, and more expensive than the Housefly.
I do not suggest the Hornet for indoor flight. It's a great heli that certainly can be flown indoors, but it's a little to poweful for my and my furnitures taste. -Jim |
i agree, it would be either the piccolo or the house fly.
the house fly is a newer design and it is smaller and lighter=less damage to the house. the piccolo does now have a collective pitch upgrade available if you want to upgrade the house fly will have one too but no body knows when some advice for both: when you take off don't be afraid to punch the throttle. these helis have a very bad ground effect and when they get light they REALLY want to move to the left. so take them up to one foot atleast right away from there they fly great. they will be lots of fun but when u get used to them it is weird going back to cp gass ships. |
Hi Randy,
The Piccolo is a fine choice. Out of the box, I've found the Hornet to be so much easier to set up, control (and get consistant performance) compared to my own Piccolo and the Robin 280, that I rarely crash it indoors! When I fly it in my living room, it must climb the first few feet in a 4' x 6' area between the computer desk, building bench, and couch. I have done this about 75 times without touching anything. Most of the time I fly off my bed though. I think that an experienced flier like yourself should also consider the Hornet. If anyone making this decision would like a 1 minute 3.5 meg (small size) QT video of me flying my Hornet (when it was new and box-stock) out of that small space and visiting the digital still camera "doing video" on top of my wife's computer monitor, just ask via email in the next couple of days. Cheers! Glen |
Great question. I have been researching and waiting for the perfect first indoor heli. I almost bought a piccolo but I saw too many for sale on Ebay that said "crashed but repaired". They all had every mod possible. It seems as though the pic is very difficult to fly so everyone is getting rid of theirs. I am very close to purchasing the housefly but I can't find anyone who has flown one to give a quick evaluation. Anyone?
If you want, send it to me at firstname.lastname@example.com and I'll host it for you.
The Piccolo is a good choice. I have never flown helicopters before and purchased mine in March 2001, following advice on the Piccolo BBs http://www.ikarus-modellbau.de/cgi-forum/Ultimate.cgi The learning curve is steep if you have never flown helis before, but after six months of practicing I am able to hover a complete battery pack out. The Pic is very durable, and most crashes (sorry heavy landings) can be repaired with a drop of CA and a length of carbon rod ! It is this that makes the Pic an ideal beginners helicopter. If I was learning with a larger heli I probably be put off by the expense of the repair bills. For more info on the Piccolo check out my home page http://homepage.ntlworld.com/malcolm.crabbe Regards Malcolm |
By indoor do you mean in a large open gym/warehouse space or inside your house? After seeing the piccolo in my local shop I sure wouldn't want to risk inflicting that much damage on my interior furnishings. I chose the hoverfly to spend the winter learning the basics. It causes little if no damage when I hit things (which thankfully is becoming less common experience!!) I shudder to think what the piccolo would do to the same walls, lamps, and tables............
(yeh yeh - I know the hoverfly is tethered and "ain't real" but it has a reputation for being a good learning tool and cheap to repair - all I've ever had to do is buy new props) |
Yes, I'll be flying in the house. AND, I have one other factor to consider other than furniture and walls. Since I live in Japan my house has rice paper siding partition doors in one of my living rooms (very large house). Not to worry though, according to my lease agreement all the rice paper has to be replaced upon my departure anyway. I'll be sure to post a picture of the Piccolo hovering next to the rice paper doors when I get it finished. No problem with the Hoverfly! As long as you're having fun that's all that matters! Sayonara, Randy |
There is nothing wrong with the hoverfly, infact it was watching a demonstration of this little helicopter that got me interested in the micro heli hobby. Whilst the Piccolo can be flown in a small room (12 feet x 12 feet), you need to be a seasoned pilot to do so, otherwise the fittings in your house tends to take the odd knock (those paper partitions would not last long )
A group of us meet up on a regular basis and hire a local hall and fly there. Not only does this allow us to improve our flying skills, but also makes a nice social event |

Jeremy Glaser: For Morningstar, I am Jeremy Glaser. With the Federal Reserve committing to another round of bond buying and also to keeping rates very low until at least the middle of 2015, many municipal-bond investors wonder what that could mean for their portfolios. I'm here today with closed-end fund analyst, Steve Pikelny. We're going to look at how it could affect these funds.
Steve, thanks for joining me today.
Steve Pikelny: Thanks for having me.
Glaser: Let's talk a little bit about what the Fed announced, so-called QE3. Can you walk us through what impact that could have on municipal bonds, generally?
Pikelny: Sure. Well, the Federal Reserve announced that they're going to try and continue to keep the yield curve relatively flat and have yields across the yield curve at pretty low rates. Municipal bonds are traditionally pretty highly correlated with Treasuries because a lot of these bonds are seen as being very safe from a credit-quality standpoint. So, this means that municipal bonds will also likely see very low rates for the near future.
One thing you have to worry about with this is reinvestment risk because many municipal bonds around the eight-year mark or so have a call option. So, for many municipalities seeing this very low-interest-rate environment, if they have the option, they're probably going to want to call their bonds, so they could refinance at low rates than what they have now.
Glaser: How about closed-end funds in this environment? Is that reinvestment risk a big threat to closed-end fund investors?
Pikelny: It's a threat for some of the closed-end funds. The thing you have to keep in mind with a lot of these closed-end funds is that since they have a closed capital structure, they don't have to go out and reinvest any money they receive from inflows. So, they're sitting on a portfolio and they might trade some of the portfolio, but for the most part it's kind of just sitting there.
They have this portfolio, and the portfolio receives coupon payments. And depending on how prices move, the yield might fluctuate, but the fund is actually sitting on the same amount of investment income. So, for funds that have high call exposure, they might have to cut their distributions if they're receiving less income from when some of these bonds are called.
Glaser: What are some of those funds that have that higher call exposure?
Pikelny: Well, a lot of Nuveen funds actually have pretty high call exposure. I think two of the highest are NPF and NPI, which each have upward of 60% of their portfolios exposed to callable bonds within the next four years or so. Alternatively, there are a number of funds that have less than 10% of their portfolio callable in that time frame.

Nortel Wins Approval of Deal With Disabled Former Workers
Steven ChurchNortel Networks Inc., the defunct telecommunications company, won preliminary court approval to settle a dispute over medical benefits with disabled former employees for about $28 million.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Kevin Gross in Wilmington, Delaware, approved Nortel's request to send details of the proposed accord to about 200 former U.S. workers. The company will return to court in a few months to ask for final approval of the settlement.
"We are all not overly happy, but we are glad that we moved to somewhere in the middle," Lisa M. Schweitzer, a lawyer for Nortel, said in court today.
The settlement, negotiated with a committee of disabled ex-employees, is the third Nortel has reached with different groups of former U.S. workers. The company last month agreed to resolve a dispute with retirees by paying $66.9 million for medical and other benefits.
To help the disabled ex-workers get paid as soon as possible, the committee agreed to sell their $28 million claim in the bankruptcy case to an investment fund, said attorney Rafael X. Zahralddin-Aravena of the law firm Elliott Greenleaf. The fund will try to collect as much as $28 million from Nortel that would have gone to the former workers once the bankruptcy case is over.
Cash Payment
Zahralddin-Aravena declined to identify the fund or say how much the committee received for selling the claim. Should the deal win final approval, the former workers will get a single cash payment based on an actuarial formula, he said.
The money is meant to help cover medical benefits until the former workers reach 65, when they will be eligible for the federal Medicare program.
Nortel, based in Mississauga, Ontario, filed for bankruptcy in the U.K., France, Canada and the U.S. in 2009. Since then the company has been selling assets and negotiating with bondholders, former workers and other creditors about how to split $9 billion in cash.
The money won't cover all of Nortel's debts. Creditors have filed claims valued at about $36 billion in the company's Canadian bankruptcy case.
The case is Nortel Networks Inc., 09-10138, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, District of Delaware (Wilmington).

Desperate for a vaguely Doctor Who related fix? Happy to waste time in front of a pointless digital channel watching a pointless spin-off that makes the concept of Rose Tyler: Earth Defender sound like Hamlet?
If so, why not get yourself in front of the box and tune into Disney XD, a channel which over the weekend couldn't make up its mind which episode of the pointless, irrelevant (and as we've seen totally vapid) K-9 spin-off. The premiere of the pilot episode Regeneration was broadcast at 6pm on the subscription channel, and thankfully has gone largely unnoticed.
Sure, the producers might have managed to get John Leeson to voice the tin dog, but then the 2000 version of Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased) had Tom Baker and that didn't make it must-see TV.
A co-production between Jetix Europe and Park Entertainment, you couldn't even declare that the original creators of K-9 would be turning in their graves – Bob Baker himself has been involved, writing episodes of the series.
Of course, all of this is merely opinion – make your own mind up:

Scientists using a NASA instrument aboard an Indian spacecraft have discovered signs of water native to the moon – not brought from far away, but water that must have been locked beneath the lunar crust since its birth.
The discovery by the ill-fated Chandrayaan-1 lunar probe represents the first time researchers have found signs of native water remotely. The results, published in the journal Nature Geoscience, offer further evidence that the moon has its own indigenous source of water.
Previously, researchers have relied on rock samples brought back by Apollo astronauts to find out about the moon's internal moisture (drier than earthly deserts but wetter than we used to think.) That's because orbiting satellites are unable to peer beneath the surface, and what water they see on top has been implanted, either by the solar wind or by micrometeorites hitting the surface.
But the crater Bullialdus, with its unusual chemical diversity, offered an ideal spot to peer into the moon's depths without sending an astronaut with a shovel. The area, near the moon's equator, is the site of some serious double-digging: It sits in the Mare Nubium, a lunar plain that was probably carved out by a major impact.
Bullialdus is 61 kilometers wide and probably was carved out after an asteroid smashed into the moon, excavating 6 to 9 kilometers. Like many craters, it has a central peak in the middle. When an asteroid whams into the surface, the ground essentially rebounds, pushing up a bunch of rock from underground.
Using data from the spacecraft's NASA Moon Mineralogy Mapper, researchers discovered an abundance of hydroxyl in the crater's central peak – essentially water that's been trapped in chemically stunted form. The signal seemed too strong to be the sparse stuff left on the surface by solar wind, the researchers surmised, and must be a remnant of water chemically bonded to the magmatic rock in which it was sealed.
With these findings in hand, scientists may be able to expand on the conclusions drawn from rock samples from the Apollo sites, which were all clustered on one part of the moon.
The work is one of the findings to come out of India's 2008 Chandrayaan-1 probe, which survived 312 days of its planned two-year mission.

"The setup and training received from the BoardDocs staff made our implementation and live launch - flawless. And the ability to search agenda items and add attachments and supporting documentation on the fly, beats copying paper any day. Do your county a favor and get on board with BoardDocs."
– Jerry Derr Commission Assistant/HR Director, Meade County, SD
"Excellence in Progress" March 29, 2012 COMPTON, Calif., — Compton Unified School District (CUSD) is leveraging the power of the Internet to radically improve the governance process while saving time, taxpayer dollars and the environment. Beginning this April, CUSD's Board of Trustees will conduct all board meetings using "BoardDocs®," which will replace the old method of compiling, printing, binding and distributing paper agenda packets by hand. By making meeting agendas and supporting documents available on the Internet, CUSD will be able to distribute documents associated with board meetings more quickly and efficiently, at a dramatically reduced cost to the district. Through the paperless solution, the district will maximize the effectiveness of their board meetings with increased transparency. The new system will also provide a basis for better and more open communication with the public, while dramatically increasing productivity and saving thousands of dollars annually. Electronic distribution will not only save time and resources, it will also provide unprecedented public access via the CUSD's Web site to agenda items and other board related information. This process will allow interested parties to review and print information prior to board meetings. After the meeting, individuals can review the agenda items and see what action was taken by the board, complete with voting results. All documents associated with the meeting are automatically archived and can be accessed by meeting date or by using the system's comprehensive search feature. BoardDocs will increase the amount of time board members have to review agenda information, enabling them to better prepare for meetings. Through the MetaSearch feature, board members will also have access to best practices from other districts that are using the system, allowing them to gain important knowledge about initiatives other boards have considered and implemented. BoardDocs was developed in 2000 for a Georgia school district. Since then nearly 600 governing bodies nationwide have adopted the system. For more information about BoardDocs, call (800) 407-0141 or visit www.boarddocs.com. Additional information may be obtained by contacting CUSD's Office of Communications at (310) 604-6529 or by visiting www.compton.k12.ca.us.


text: Medical Definition of Whole-arm translocationWhole-arm translocation: A type of chromosome rearrangement, also called a Robertsonian translocation, in which there is fusion of an entire long arm of one acrocentric chromosome with a similarly intact long arm of another acrocentric chromosome. The short arms of the chromosomes participating in the translocation are usually lost. Acrocentric chromosomes have their centromere near but not at the very end of the chromosome. In humans, chromosomes 13-15, 21 and 22 are acrocentric. These translocations are relatively common. In balanced form, they take the place of two acrocentric chromosomes and result in no problems. But in unbalanced form, whole-arm translocations account for some cases of the trisomy 13 (Patau) syndrome and trisomy 21 (Down) syndrome. This type of chromosome rearrangement is named for W.R.B. Robertson who first described it (in grasshoppers) in 1916.

How Do you get Published or get a photo of the week?
Am i doing anything wrong . Is there anything i can do to get a photo of the week or get one of my photo published ?
5 Answers - Add yours!
To get photo of the week you have to first be nominated by your peers (other users from the site) and then JPG staff selects the photo of the week from the pool of nominees.
JPG stopped publishing a "print" magazine a while back. Crossing my fingers that some day they will publish in print again! I've heard rumors of the magazine might coming back in digital format.To get more recognition, place your photo(s) in spotlight. This will put your photo out there for great number of hits and a possible nomination for photo of the week. Be seen!
And be patient.
Thanks a lot for your guys help. = ]
Make contacts, make stories, make great photos, make photo of the week! It's all in the making.

Prospective Jobs For Graduates With A Human Resources Management Degree
Graduates who complete a human resources management degree program may use the communication, psychology, and leadership skills obtained through courses as a foundation for lucrative, long lasting careers. The U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS) predicts a great demand for qualified human resource professionals in many industries. Graduates from a human resources management program are expected to find employment easily as the field is expanding rapidly to encompass labor management issues and new regulations per reports from the BLS. Graduates with advanced degrees or work experiences combined with specialized training are expected to have the greatest job prospects.
Individuals who complete a four year degree in human resource management may qualify for jobs as corporate recruiters, training specialists, relations managers, employee benefits manager, or personnel directors. Individuals who complete a human resource management degree at a graduate level are qualified as experts within the field. Many advance to high level executive positions as human resources directors within various corporations or agencies with some advancing to doctoral degrees to work as professors within colleges or universities.
Salary Range For Graduates With A Human Resources Management Degree
Earnings for graduates from a human resource management degree program are largely affected by the source and size of the organization of employment, educational level, field of specialty, and work related experience. The demand for qualified human resource management professionals is high and often quite competitive. The U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS) reports that graduates with a bachelor degree in human resource management often earn a median salary ranging from $50,148 to $65,000 annually. With additional training, experience, and advanced degrees, human resource management graduates can earn $81,810 to $115,000 annually. The BLS predicts employment as managers and specialists in the field of human resources, training, and labor relations will expand at a more rapid rate than other occupations through 2014.

Legend has it that there was once a time machine that belonged to an old scientist named Albert. This machine had never been tested, but Albert knew that his dream of travelling to the future would one day come true.
No one had any idea about what experiments old Albert had performed with the machine, but he declared that he was able to travel to the past and future just by sitting in the cabin and typing in the year to which he wanted to go.
The villagers thought that the old scientist had gone mad and that he was losing his mind. In fact, some would say: "Travelling to the future, humph! He doesn't know what he's talking about."
Albert ignored these comments and while they were all wondering if he really had gone mad, he kept working on the final details of his time machine. For more than five years, the old scientist had devoted all his time to designing and experimenting with equipment that could make his dream to travel back in time a reality, for he wanted to return to a very special moment in his life, the day his father had let him come into his laboratory to do an experiment together. That day was very special for Albert, for it was at that moment that he knew he wanted to be a great scientist when he grew up. Unfortunately, he still hadn't achieved it.

Shopping in Marrakech is a world-famous travel experience. From the bustling labyrinth of the souks (an area of market stalls) to hand-crafted pottery, contemporary art, couture kaftans and priceless antiques, Marrakech is a treasure-trove of exotic goods.
From the souks, shoppers can purchase anything from traditional belgha (leather slippers) to magical potions; while La Porte d'Or is home to some invaluable antiques. The biggest souk in Marrakech is adjacent to the Djemaa El-Fna; while in Gueliz, Intensite Nomade sells trendy kaftans and contemporary art is available from the Matisse Art Gallery. The Gueliz area also hosts some very upmarket, boutique-style outlets. Akkal, in Sidi Ghanem, is renowned for its beautiful, hand-crafted pottery. Other popular souvenirs from Marrakech include 'cactus silk', spices, camel leather goods, and cashmere shawls.
In the souks, bargaining is essential (asking prices may be as much as five times what the salesman will eventually take), and the attention of shop owners or staff can be overwhelming. When shopping in the medina with a tourist guide, his commission will be added to the price of the goods purchased. Most small shops are closed on Friday afternoons and on Sundays; although the big bazaars are open every day. Many shops close in August. There is no provision for tourists to reclaim any sales tax or VAT from goods purchased in Morocco.

text: Audience members yearning to return to the exotically extraterrestrial locale of Pandora will have to wait for at least three more years, as James Cameron has confirmed that the first of his back-to-back Avatar sequels won't arrive until Christmas of 2014. While Cameron's original 3D sci-fi smash frequently changed release dates before it finally settled on December 2009, both Avatar 2 and Avatar 3 are less likely budge from their still tentative winter holiday dates in 2014 and 2015, respectively. Entertainment Weekly spoke to Cameron, who told them "I am in the process of writing the next two 'Avatar' films now. We are planning to shoot them together and [edit them in post-production] together, and we will probably release them not quite back to back, but about a year apart.†The filmmaker also teased about the return of some familiar faces, saying that "Basically, if you survived the first film, you get to be in the second film, at least in some form.†Cameron also revealed that a portion of the profits from Avatar 2 and 3 will be donated to "environmental causes that are at the heart of the 'Avatar' world.†Considering that the first film pulled in over $2.7 billion at the global box office, that should amount to some significant coinage. Producer Jon Landau previously spoke out about the Avatar sequels, confirming the news that Avatar 2 will explore the ocean of the Na'vi homeworld but won't amount to "an underwater movieâ€, a la Cameron's The Abyss. Landau additionally implied that although the second two chapters in the franchise were being conceived simultaneously, the filmmakers won't follow in the footsteps of previous back-to-back sequels and end Avatar 2 on a cliffhanger that immediately leads into the third film. Both Pandora and the other worlds of the Alpha Centauri AB system will be explored to some degree in the Avatar sequels, which look to deliver visual spectacle beyond that of even the original film – and hopefully a more creative narrative as well. Cameron has a good deal of freedom with respect to the possible storylines of Avatar 2 and 3 and look of not-yet glimpsed regions of the photo-realistic alien setting. Hopefully, the return trip to Pandora will be be worth all the time, effort, and money. Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana are essentially set to reprise their roles as Jake Sully and Neytiri, respectively, but it's not clear yet who else will be returning in Avatar 2 and/or Avatar 3 – much less what new stars will be signing on for the sci-fi sequels. We'll keep you updated on the status of both films as more information is released.

"I came to see Dr. Gila after an ectopic pregnancy that ruptured my tube. Due to that and my uterus being heart-shaped there was concern I may have issues getting pregnant and carrying the baby. With Dr. Gila's help, my hormones regulated and my health improved. About a year later I got pregnant! Now my beautiful baby boy is almost 2 years old." — Ashley G.
"For years I was suffering from severe sinus and headaches. I was taking all kinds of medication, including antibiotics. I had practically given up ever getting better. When I first came to see Gila I was VERY SKEPTICAL about acupuncture, but then I felt IMMEDIATE RELIEF as a result of her treatment and it helped me with other health issues as well." — Karen Butler
"Gila's acupuncture helped relax my body and stimulate blood flow that I believe improved my sperm count and contributed to a healthy pregnancy. Her understanding of the body and her practice also helped eliminate excess heat which manifested in monthly night sweats. I would gladly recommend her services!" – Jim Rinehart
"Acupuncture rebalanced our bodies and restored our physical health, well being and prepared our bodies for IVF. With a balance of acupuncture from Island Acupuncture and herbs I believe we were able to get pregnant on the first try! The studies are significant and I would encourage you to call Dr. Peled if you are in a similar place. You will be grateful! We are now 7 months pregnant with our first child and so excited!" — Jim and Kristin Rinehart
"I am a Coronado resident that lives abroad. I needed acupuncture treatment on short notice when I was home during the holidays. I received really quick feedback and helpful service on the phone, which was highly valued since other acupuncturists were not working at this time. I was able to come in on the same day, late afternoon and received treatment until 6 pm, which lasted over 90 minutes. It was very professional service and Dr. Gila understood my problem, as she has worked previously with injured endurance athletes. I will certainly keep her number on my speed dial and call her up again when I need help!" — Scott Cole, Ph.D., EnviroEconomics Sweden Consultancy
"The acupuncture treatment is simply a series of taps with small needles. Dr. Gila is highly skilled and experienced in her technique and is sensitive to any slight discomfort one may feel. I have experienced radical improvement in my pain and no longer have to use any prescription pain medication. She has opened my eyes to the more holistic approach of taking care of my own health and wellness using more natural methods." — Ann W.
"Gila really helped me with chronic foot problems. As someone who is a bit skeptical, it was hard for me to believe that acupuncture would help where so many treatments failed. Boy was I glad that I tried it! Dr. Peled really knows her stuff. You are in good hands." — J. C., Coronado Resident
"Dr. Gila's painless treatments worked magic on my daughter's sinus problems!" — Kirsten W.

Observing in Real Time with SkyTools 3
The Real Time tool is designed specifically for use at the telescope. In real time mode SkyTools continually updates to the current time by reading the computer's clock, providing up-to-the-minute observing advice. An interface is also provided for controlling a variety of telescopes.
The Real Time tool is included with the Professional Edition. For the Standard Edition it is a separately purchased add-on. It is not available for the Starter Edition.
Support is provided for most GOTO telescopes via the ASCOM platform. Telescopes equipped with simple Digital Setting Circles (or Pushto systems--because the observer typically pushes the telescope to the target) are also supported via ASCOM. Pushto telescopes equipped with the popular Argo Navis or Sky Commander units are supported directly from within SkyTools. Additional specialized features, such as observing list uploads, are supported for these units.
The telescope can be targeted at any object in your observing list, any object you can point at on a chart, or for that matter any object in the database. Keyboard shortcuts are provided for all basic functions, both on the planner and the charts.
Your choice of natural sounding voice keeps you informed of what your telescope is doing, indicating events such as, "telescope slew complete." listen
The current location of the telescope is indicated on all charts via a moving indicator. The telescope can be controlled directly from any chart. Use the Context Viewer to drag your telescope from galaxy to galaxy or to place your camera. For Pushto systems, zero the Pushto Indicators or use the charts to guide the telescope to your target.
It's not just about Controlling Telescopes
The Real Time tool is designed for any observing at the telescope. The objects best viewed at that moment are displayed at the top of the list and prioritized by whether or not they are rising or setting, how far they are away from the current telescope position, by their status (observed or not yet observed) and the priority you have given them.
The date and time used for all functions are obtained directly from your computer clock. When you open a chart, start a log entry, or view object information, the time is always assumed to be current.
Even if you have no way to connect your telescope to a computer this tool can be quite useful.
Supported Telescope Mounts
A wide variety of mounts are supported for use with SkyTools via the popular 3rd party ASCOM standard, including most every Celestron and Meade model (they use a standard interface).
List of Telescopes currently supported by ASCOM
SkyTools directly supports the Argo Navis and Sky Commander. The ServoCAT is also supported.
ASCOM now supports Tangent-based DSCs such as the Celestron Advanced Astromaster, David Chandler Co. Deep Space Navigator, Discovery Digital Setting Circles, Grecner Navigator, JMI NGCMAX, Lumicon Sky Vector, Mountain Instruments Star Pilot, Orion Sky Wizard 3, and TeleVue Sky Tour, as well as BBox, Ouranos, MicroGuider III and V, and other similar units.
Current SkyTools Standard Edition users can try the Real Time add-on as a free trial. Open the SkyTools Preferences dialog, select the Add-on tab and click Trial.

Sassounian: Will the Real John Kerry Please Stand Up!
Some weeks ago, when Sen. John Kerry's name was first mentioned as a possible successor to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, I cautioned Armenians not to get overly excited just because "a good friend" of the Armenian community could assume such an influential post.
Unfortunately, it did not take long to discover that my words of caution were fully justified. Despite his 30-year-record of support for Armenian issues, Kerry proved last week, right before assuming his new position, that even such a close "friend" could reverse his long-held views, disappointing the Armenian-American community.
Regrettably, Kerry turned out to be no different than President Obama, Vice President Biden, and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. As U.S. senators and presidential candidates, they all made lavish promises in seeking the backing of Armenian-American voters, and completely ignored them after assuming office.
While some may argue that Armenians should only blame themselves for trusting dishonest politicians, I believe all voters have the right to expect elected officials to keep their promises. Otherwise, lying to the public becomes an acceptable practice with no prospect of replacing deceitful officials with honest ones.
Kerry experienced an overnight transformation last week, when for the first time in his political career, he shied away from using the term "Armenian Genocide." In the past, Kerry had strongly criticized presidents and secretaries of state for not acknowledging the Armenian Genocide. Ironically, he now refuses to practice what he preached for so many years.
Kerry proved that he is not the man he used to be, when responding to written questions on Armenian issues submitted by Senators Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) and Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), after his confirmation hearing in front of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
When asked for his views on the Armenian Genocide, Kerry shamefully repeated the euphemisms used by Obama in his annual April 24 statements. The nominee for secretary of state, after using the term "Armenian Genocide" throughout his long Senate career, all of a sudden shied away from that term and employed every other word in the English dictionary, except genocide. This is what he stated:
"The U.S. government clearly acknowledges and mourns as historical fact that 1.5 million Armenians were massacred or marched to their deaths in the final days of the Ottoman Empire. These events resulted in one of the worst atrocities of the 20th century, and the United States recognizes that they remain a great source of pain for the people of Armenia and of Armenian descent as they do for all of us who share basic universal values. The president honors the victims every April 24th on Remembrance Day, so that we never forget this dark chapter in history."
In a follow-up question reminding him of his own sponsorship for legislation to acknowledge the Armenian Genocide, Kerry ducked the issue by insisting that he would "represent the policies of the president and administration faithfully."
Kerry's response to questions on the Armenian-Turkish protocols were just as disappointing. He insisted that he would continue to support the failed efforts of Obama and Clinton, pressuring Armenia and Turkey to ratify the protocols. Four years ago, in a private meeting, I explained to Kerry, then chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, why the Armenia-Turkey protocols were doomed to failure and were contrary to Armenia's national interests. Back then, the senator seemed to find my arguments convincing. He has now reverted to supporting the Obama Administration's position on the protocols, which Turkey, under pressure from Azerbaijan, has fortunately refused to ratify.
In response to another written question, Kerry indicated that he might be willing to meet with the leadership of Armenian-American organizations, something Clinton and Obama have refused to do in the last four years. Such a meeting would provide the opportunity to explain to Secretary Kerry why the Obama Administration is wasting its time trying to push Turkey to ratify the protocols. Turkish leaders have made it clear that they will not finalize the protocols unless Armenians make territorial concessions to Azerbaijan on Artsakh (Karabagh).
While Armenian-Americans may not be pleased with Kerry's sudden change of heart on Armenian issues, regardless of the reasons, they have no choice but to meet and work with the secretary of state who is in office today. Armenians' only wish is that periodically they will be able to interact with the real John Kerry, whom they knew and loved for the past 30 years!

Shorts from Sweden: The Hidden Reverse
What is hiding beneath the surface?
Through this seven-strong selection of some of the finest short-form cinema emerging from contemporary Sweden, we observe the undercurrents bubbling fervently just beneath the surface of society. Unearthing commonly hidden and untold tales and scenarios, the programme zig-zags through subjects with humour, affection and deadly seriousness, tackling issues ranging from the unconscious mind to personal and societal responsibility and the human disconnect emerging from the processes of postmodern society. Contains strobe effects.
Blushing, Jonathan Lewald/Sweden/2012/6 min
Colour, image and atmosphere merge to create a sensory map of the emotional experience that constitutes blushing.
Grandpa & Me and a Helicopter to Heaven (Morfar & jag och helikoptern till himlen), Åsa Blanck, Johan Palmgren/Sweden/2013/14 min
Touching and gently humorous in equal measures, we observe David and his grandfather revelling in each others' company, but also acutely aware of time running out.
A Simpler Life (Ett enklare liv), Gunhild Enger/Sweden/2013/14 min
A cautionary tale exploring what can happen when an obsession with the superficial eclipses the value placed upon interpersonal relationships.
Syndromeda, Patrik Eklund/Sweden/2013/25 min (In Competition)
Leif finds himself progressively encroaching upon a delirious, hypnagogic mental maze, tugging at the intersection between dream and reality.
Animals I Killed Last Summer (Djur jag dödade förra sommaren), Gustav Danielsson/Sweden/2012/15 min
A liberal father is desperate to imbue his son with sound moral principles, but the boy appears obsessed with enacting senseless death upon small animals.
On Suffocation, Jenifer Malmqvist/Sweden/2013/7 min
Rendered with a sparseness and restraint of word and image, we witness the shocking hanging of two homosexual men in an unidentified Islamic prison.
A Society, Jens Assur/Sweden/2012/17 min
A portal into the fraught existence of a group of illegal immigrants interred in a locked container, travelling towards what they hope will be a better life.

This add-on is operated by Bablic
Easy website localization - Translate your website with one line of code.
Last updated 18 March 2016
The Bablic add-on is currently in beta.
Table of Contents
Bablic is an add-on for easy website localization.
Adding Bablic to a web application transforms it to a fully localized web application. No i18n infrastructure or extra programming is needed! Simply select the language/languages you want to add and choose from machine or human translation. You can then manually edit all of the elements you see, in our user-friendly editor, simply by right-clicking on them. Once you're happy with the results just click save & publish to get your code snippet. Paste the snippet onto your site and that's it, literally takes a minute to install on any website.
Bablic also offers:
- Professional human translation.
- Machine translation.
- Manual (translated) text editing
- Manual (translated) CSS editing.
- Manual (translated) image replacement.
- RTL (right-to-left) support.
- Customizable language switcher/widget.
- SEO benefits.
- Mobile/Tablet responsive.
Provisioning the add-on
Bablic can be attached to a Heroku application via the CLI:
A list of all plans available can be found here.
$ heroku addons:create bablic -----> Adding bablic to sharp-mountain-4005... done, v18 (free)
Start the localization/translation process simply by opening the Bablic Editor right from the Heroku Website or using the heroku-clli
$ heroku addons:open bablic
Once Bablic has been added, a BABLIC_ID
and a BABLIC_SNIPPET
setting will be available in the app configuration. The BABLIC_SNIPPET
is the client-side code that will be added to your HTML layout files to integrate your web pages.
After installing Bablic the application should be configured to fully integrate with the add-on.
Using with Rails 3.x
A Rails 3 sample app can be found on GitHub at https://github.com/IshaiJaffe/bablic->sinatra-example.
in your layout.erb file ( or any other html template file you're using )
<html> <head> .... <%= ENV('BABLIC_SNIPPET') %> </head> <body> .....
Exclude specific elements:
<div data-bablic-exclude> Text not for translation </div>
Include specific elements, even if their parents are excluded:
<div data-bablic-exclude> Text not for translation <span data-bablic-include> Text for translation </span> </div>
Using with Node.js
A Node.js sample app can be found on GitHub at https://github.com/IshaiJaffe/bablic-heroku-nodejs.
in your layout.ejs file
<html> <head> ..... <%- process.env.BABLIC_SNIPPET || '' %> </head> <body> ....
Using with Python/Django
A Django sample app can be found on GitHub at https://github.com/IshaiJaffe/bablic-heroku-django.
Create a context processor that will add the snippet to every template context:
from django.conf import settings # import the settings file import os BABLIC_SNIPPET = os.environ.get('BABLIC_SNIPPET','') def bablic(request): return {'BABLIC_SNIPPET': BABLIC_SNIPPET, 'locale': BABLIC_SNIPPET and request.session and request.session.get('locale')}
Add the context processor in your settings.py
TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = ( "django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth", "django.core.context_processors.debug", "django.core.context_processors.i18n", "django.core.context_processors.media", "django.core.context_processors.static", "django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages", "app_name.context_processors.bablic")
Add the snippet injection in you layout html file
<html> <head> {{ BABLIC_SNIPPET|safe }} </head> <body>
If you want to define the selected locale from the backend set the bablic.locale
after the snippet
<html> <head> {{ BABLIC_SNIPPET|safe }} {% if locale %} <script> bablic.locale = "{{ locale }}"; </script> {% endif %} </head> <body> ...

Giuliano Vassalli was one of the great jurists of the post-World War II period, who had three distinguished careers simultaneously. He combined an academic career with public service and a private practice as a criminal defense lawyer in many causes célèbres. His accomplishments in all three areas were exceptional.
The son of a well-known professor of civil law at the University of Rome, Filippo Vassalli, he followed in his father's footsteps and entered the academic system in 1938 where he had appointments to the Universities of Urbino (1938-1941), Pavia (1940-1942), Padova (1942-1943), Genova (1945-1956), and Napoli (1957-1960), before becoming the senior professor of criminal law at the University of Rome "La Sapienza", from which he retired in 1983 with the title of emeritus. During his academic career he published several monographs and numerous articles, his latest book being FORMULA DI RADBRUCH E DIRITTO PENALE (2001), which received much acclaim for its combination of legal, historical and philosophical perspectives on post-World War II prosecutions. In recognition of his academic standing, in 1990 he was elected to the prestigious Italian Academia dei Lincei as one of the social sciences' representatives.
During and after his academic career, he held several public positions starting as a member of Parliament in the Fifth Legislature from 1968 to 1972 ; then as a member of the Senate during the Ninth Legislature from 1983 to 1987, where he served as chairman of the Judicial Committee ; and then he served as Minister of Justice from 1987 to 1991. In this capacity he was instrumental in achieving important reforms, including the entry into effect in 1989 of the Italian Code of Criminal Procedure, and leading the reform of the anti-narcotics legislation and the adoption of legislation providing free legal assistance for indigent persons. In 1991, he was asked to be a candidate for his country's presidency, but declined for personal reasons. That same year, he became a judge of the Italian Constitutional Court, then vice-President from 1996-1999, and then President for a few months, before his retirement from the Court in 2000.
He was well known in international academic circles particularly as a member of the Conseil de direction of the AIDP from the early 1960s, as well as a member of the Conseil of the Societé internationale de défense sociale and as a member of the board and honorary president of the Siracusa-based Istituto Superiore Internazionale di Scienze Criminali (ISISC).
Those who knew him will remember a man of vast knowledge and exceptional courtesy, who was always affable, available and accessible. So sensitive he was to others, that he personally typed or handwrote notes to anyone who would send him a publication or write to him on any matter. He was a figure of the Age of Enlightenment.
He leaves behind him six children, two of whom are in the legal profession : Filippo, who bears his grandfather's name and who has a practice in international commercial law, and Francesco, who followed in his father's footsteps as a Professor of Commercial Law at the University of Rome, making him the third generation of Vassalli professors. The others are Natalia, a Roman notary public ; Alessandro, a clinical psychologist in Milano ; and Luca, an ENT specialist in California. He has five grandchildren. There are times, I am sure, that they all must have felt the absence of a father, as do many children whose parents are deeply involved in demanding careers. But their privations are what made it possible for him to have accomplished so much. As a consequence, they share in his accomplishments which reflect on them as well.
As it is commonly known, behind all great men stand great women, and his late and beloved wife, Carla, was indeed such a great woman. She not only stood beside him and supported him in his private and public life, but she also contributed her wisdom and insight into many important decisions made during his career. More importantly, if not for her, he would have had a short-lived career that would have ended in 1945, a few months before the Allies signed the Armistice Agreement with Italy. At that time, he was held prisoner by the Gestapo in the infamous Via Tasso prison in Rome for a period of three months. His release came at the request of Pope Pius XI based on an intercession by Cardinal Montini, who later became Pope Paul VI. The Cardinal was a friend of Mrs. Carla Vassalli's family and she personally sought his help. The reason for Giuliano Vassalli's incarceration was his role in the liberation movement which he joined in 1944. During that time, he served as a member of the military council of the Committee on National Liberation, as well as a member of the Executive Committee of the clandestine socialist party, of which he remained a member until its virtual dissolution in the latter 1980s.
It was my privilege to have known him as a close personal friend for over 35 years during which we shared many close moments as well as many personal experiences. I learned much from him and benefited from his wisdom, as did many others. His absence is deeply felt by me, as it is by many who have known him in his country and in different parts of the world. Few people ever leave behind them such a legacy of accomplishments and almost universal appreciation and respect by others.
In 1991 I co-edited with Professors Stile and Latagliata two volumes of studies in honor of Giuliano Vassalli, published by Giuffre Editors in Italy. In the Introduction I wrote :
"Nell'onorare Giuliano Vassalli onoriamo questi valori fondamentali di umanesimo universale, e riaffermiamo il nostro credo che il Diritto è il migliore mediatore tra individui e tra individuo e società, e che è il modo piu proficuo per risolvere conflitti inter-personali e intersociali, per assicurare un modicum di giustizia umana in questo modo che ha visto tante ingiustizie e tante sofferenze nel corso della storia. E così nell'onorare Giuliano Vassalli onoriamo tutti coloro che condividono le sue convinzioni umanitarie e dedicano le forze a realizzare la grande opera, che sappiamo non sarà mai compiuta : la civiltà umana in terra."
A devoted and loving friend,

Likud calls Peres remarks about Abu Mazen 'regrettable'
The problem with making Shimon Peres President from the start was that the President of this country is meant to have an above the fray, non-political position, and Peres' nature was never such. In fact, the only President we have had who was even in the same ballpark as Peres in terms of politicizing the office was Ezer Weizmann. Now, with Peres nearing the end of his term, and realizing that there will be little he can do about the 'peace process' once that term is over, Peres' frustration is pouring out. That's what you saw in the al-Jazeera interview I posted on Sunday.But Peres continues to live in his dreamworld, insisting that 'moderate' 'Palestinian' President
Likud said in a statement it is "regrettable that the president chooses to express a political opinion that is detached from the Israeli public's position regarding Abbas, who refuses to make peace."
They continued to say it is "even more regrettable that the President chooses to present [these opinions] in front of foreign diplomats, a political stand that encourages condemnation for Israel in the international community," adding that the prime minister has consistently called on Abbas to return to the table, but that Abbas has failed to even condemn the firing of rockets on Israeli citizens by Hamas.
"It is a shame the president did not explain to the foreign diplomats how his comments on Abbas reconcile with the fact [Abbas] did not even condemn the firing of rockets on Israeli citizens," the statement said.
The response follows remarks by Peres on Sunday in his address to some 160 diplomats. Peres said he differed from the view of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu who repeatedly says there is no partner on the other side, and said that he has known Abu Mazen (Mahmoud Abbas) for thirty years and is convinced that he is the only Arab leader with whom Israel can conclude an agreement.
Peres acknowledged that not everything that Abbas says and does is beyond reproach, but the fact is Peres underscored, that Abbas is the only Arab leader who has come out openly and said that he wants peace and is opposed to terrorism. Moreover, Peres continued, Abbas has shown commendable courage in preventing terror – even at the risk of his life.
Peres invited the ambassadors to place themselves in Abbas's position, and asked whether they too would be prepared to forfeit the return to their birthplaces. Abbas, who was born in Safed, has stated that he will not return there, Peres pointed out.
Israelis are interested in peace, said Peres, but not all are convinced that it is attainable.
Peres emphasized that if Israel wants to have any influence in the Middle East, it must complete a peace agreement with the Palestinians without delay. A bi-national state, he warned, endangers the Zionist enterprise as well as the Jewish and democratic character of the State of Israel.
Reviewing the turmoil and transition throughout much of the region, Peres said that it was impossible for Israel to influence the Arab world in which nearly every country is engaged in some kind of struggle "which has nothing to do with us".
Peres attributed the changing tide of the Middle East to being part of a global revolution in which what occurs in the city square is more important than what happens in the seat of government.Read the whole thing.
I suspect we're going to see a lot more of Shimon Peres in this election cycle - more than we have ever seen from an Israeli President. I suspect he will endorse either Labor or the Tzipi Livni party. But don't worry. Peres never won a popular election in this country. Called an underminer by former bosses Moshe Sharett and Yitzchak Rabin, Peres may be one of the least popular politicians Israel has ever had, even if he is still viewed by many as untainted by corruption.

Palak Paneer
After the packet sat in the fridge a while, I turned to what was the most obvious dish to try – palak paneer or spinach and cheese curry. I found a recipe on the BBC website which didn't seem too daunting. I used a 250g packet of frozen chopped spinach rather than washing, blanching, cooling and finely chopping 750g of spinach. In retrospect I wondered if I needed more spinach and if it should have been chopped a wee bit finer. I also made a few small changes to the spices.
I found the taste of the paneer surprising. I thought I had read it was interchangeable with halloumi and therefore I had expected it to be quite salty. But it was comparatively bland, although the texture was similarly quite hard. I'd like to try the palak paneer again and to try the paneer in other dishes too.
The end result was very spicy. In fact, it gave me a good laugh that E added Tabasco sauce to the curry because he thought it looked like it wasn't spicy enough. I regularly tell him to taste before he adds Tabasco but he wont be told. He said his was very very spicy.
E liked the palak paneer but thought it had a little too much spinach. I think it is really a side dish rather than a main meal, even with rice. On the first night I served it with vegie sausages and the second night I served it with a vegie burger and some aloo jeera (potato with cumin). Originally I had planned to serve it with the dal makhani that I had made earlier in the week but didn't get organised enough. Maybe another time as I think these dishes would complement each other nicely.
After dinner we watched a DVD of As it is in Heaven which my dad had bought us because he loved the film so much. It is the story of a big-city conductor re-discovering life in a small town in Sweden. It is full of joie de vivre and interesting character sketches with an ending that is both heartbreaking and heart lifting! If you haven't seen it I highly recommend it.
Palak Paneer
(adapted from BBC Food)
Serves 3-4 as a side dish
250g frozen chopped spinach,
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 onion, chopped
thumb-sized piece of fresh ginger, finely grated
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 green chilli, finely chopped
2 tsp ground coriander
pinch salt, or to taste
200g packaged paneer, cut into cubes
½ tsp garam masala
4 tbsp cream
1 tsp lemon juice, or to taste
Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Add the cumin and fry for about 30 seconds, until fragrant, then add the onion and fry over a low heat for about six minutes, until soft. Add the ginger, garlic and chillies and cook for a further minute.
Add the ground coriander and salt to taste. Cook for another 30 seconds then add the spinach and a splash of water if necessary. The mixture should be loose but not watery. Bring to a boil and simmer for three minutes.
Add the paneer cubes, garam masala and cream. Stir and cook for a few minutes or until the spinach is creamy. Stir in the lemon juice and check seasoning. Serve with rice or naan bread.

Mmmmm palak paneer is one of my all time favourites and a whole bunch of altering of my favourite recipe has made it a super quick weekenight go to meal (and you're right, it needs side dishes! It goes awesomely with a big thick Naan bread). Mine is kind of heavier than yours, yours looks nice and summery! I tend to overdose on the spinach :P
If you feel energized, I highly recommend making some paneer yourself using buttermilk to curdle it. I use the packet stuff most often, but the stuff you can make at home is much more juicy and tender.
Mmmmm your picture has me drooling, I think I know what I'm going to be making this week!Thanks Tanna - Men! This is a good recipe for spinach lovers (I just wish it wasn't such a lot of work with the fresh stuff)
Thanks Chris - yes, try Indian food at home - I still find it a little intimidating but the results are worthwhile
Thanks Maninas - will try and remember that for ideas for more paneer recipes
Thanks Vegetation - I think I would probably like a bit more spinach in it but it was nice and light!

Margaret is a rich, classic name used for queens and saints. Margaret was replaced for decades by less starchy forms like Maggie and Meg, but some stylish parents are reviving Margaret in full, attracted by its strong sound and classic status, as an alternative to Elizabeth or Katherine.
Margaret is also an important family name for many people, having ranked near the top through the first half of the 1900s. An extremely well used name since medieval times, Margaret is still considered the Scottish national name.
Margaret has been one of the most Christian and royal of female names—attached to the patron saint of women in childbirth and to various queens and princesses in England, Scandinavia, Austria, and the Netherlands, and to the first female prime minister of Great Britain, Margaret Thatcher.
If you're honoring an ancestral Margaret, there are many fresh and new alternatives, from the French Marguerite—very stylish in Paris—to the diminutive Margo (or Margot). In French, Marguerite is another word for daisy, making Daisy another appropriate Margaret short form or honorific, as is Maisie. Other offspring of Margaret include Madge, Marjorie/Margery, Megan, Molly, Polly, Peggy, Greta, and Rita.

Mayan Smith-Gobat and Chantel Astorga have shattered the women's speed record for the Nose of El Cap and completed the first female in-a-day link-up of El Cap and Half Dome. Just a few days ago the duo took a practice run on the Nose and were able to knock 30 minutes off the previous record of 10 hours and 40 minutes which was held by Astorga and Libby Sauter. Breaking the previous record on a practice run was a solid indication that the two had the potential to do it much faster, which they did yesterday. The pair started up at 3:30 a.m. and tagged the tree atop El Cap just 7 hours and 26 minutes later, knocking almost three hours off the previous record.
Mayan Smith-Gobat was featured on the cover of Issue 20. Her feature article offers a first person glimpse into what it took to become the 2nd woman to free climb El Capitan's Salathe Wall (5.13b). Read it here in issue 20.
Tom Evans of the El Cap Report watched the action go down and was impressed with the display of skill. He writes on his website: "I couldn't believe the pace they were running, but could tell it was fast by their energy level. Mayan lead the last pitch, in a display of skill and nerve unmatched by ANY of the many climbers, male or female, I have seen do speed ascents of the route. By the time she short fixed Chantel, at the end of the overhanging section, she must have had well over a hundred feet of rope hanging free. A fall from that position would have been catastrophic! She didn't rush for the tree like most leaders in the past have done, for she knew that the clock stopped when the second touched the tree and not the leader. So she stopped along the way to pull up the miles of slack she had in the line so Chantel would be protected and not have to deal with the huge amount of slack and a potential of a big time fall."
After their record breaking ascent of the Nose route, the women climbed Half Dome to become the first all-female team to complete the El Cap/Half Dome link-up in a day. No word on what the official time is for the full link but whatever it is; it sets the standard for all future female teams to aspire to.
Photos of the ascent can be seen at Tom Evans' El Cap Report.
Update: The official time for the full link, from the start of El Cap to the top of Half Dome, was 20 hours and 9 minutes.
