Help us surprise the Happy Center's youth in Tanzania with a custom-made uniform.
Spread the word and help raise more funds for this cause!
Hi Friends and family,
Would love to get your support on getting these great t-shirts as uniform for the youth in Tanzania.
A 5 year ago I was introduced to this amazing organization based in Tanzania called Happy Center, Tanzania. An after-school performing arts program for Tanzanian's youth in Ilala district. It is a safe heaven for underprivileged youth who come to explore their talents and potential outside of the classroom.
For years, we have been working with the organization on various missions and making sure the youth gets involved in their community. We have also got our guests/ travellers involved in giving back. From coming to see live performances by the youth to making donations of school supplies and sharing of stories.
Today we seek you assistance in being able to surprise the youth with a custom-made uniform. These t-shirts will be given to the youth who are participating in the program and the funds will go towards their administration costs. Your support is appreaciated.
Asante Sana.
Justa, Founder of Curiousontanzania.com / Happy center mentor

My only losses where to Brewers (in the end made a bonehead mistake with a bad placement of Boiler after the opponents clock was out). I rushed because they where rushing, when I had plenty of clock, this cost me the game. The other loss came from Mason's against Charles (UK runner up champ), this was a very close game, bad dice verse Mallet really hurt me on an important activation during the game, this turn swung the game back into Charles's favor. I never felt like I was playing at a disadvantage in any of my games. Played Ox most of the day, only pulled out Fillet twice against Morticians and Alchemist. Some take a ways, Butchers aren't in a bad place right now, most of the meta at LCQ where playing ball killing brawling lists, this plays into what Butchers want to do. I ran into Farmers once and the Butchers played fine into it. I kicked off verse Farmers with Ox, the other player extended Tater too much, and I was able to get off a Marked Target on him. This led to tooled up Ox activating last, and charging into Tater. Left Tater with just a few health, won initiative, then activated Ox, legend, killed Tater, walked up and then killed Jackstraw. Was up 4-0, knew I would lose Ox next, but excepted it, because I knew they would have to throw a lot at him. Spent the remainder of the turn positioning my other models to gain momentum, and get better positioning for the next turn. Then it was back and forth piece for piece, but once I had the lead I never let it go. Shank and Meathook did a lot of work, as well as Boar. All in all they didn't under perform, but I will say every game took a while, only once did I get an opportunity to score a goal all day, the rest of the time verse the teams I played, they would kill the ball, and make it a scrum. I didn't even have a Brisket as an option for my 10, had a feeling it would be scrum ball, so I played all killers all day. Also on a last note, all the competition was really good at the LCQ, no games where really a give me, and enjoyed everyone I played against. 1 Furnace reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The online giant, Google, has recently helped the FBI bust a suspected pedophile. A 40-year-old California resident, Raul Gonzales, was busted in possession with over 3,000 incriminating photos. The suspect was arrested on November 6 after Google contacted authorities by alerting The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in March of this year.
Google first discovered these child pornographic images when their "hashing" technology was used in detecting that Gonzales uploaded illegal images to Google's photo sharing service, Picasa. Later, Gonzales was also found to have similar inappropriate photos on his cell phone as well as on the popular blogging site, Tumblr.
An earlier report by CBS Sacramento stated that the FBI was able to find Gonzales in possession of photos of a 9-year-old child, which appeared to be of a close friend of the Gonzales family. Gonzales later admitted to sexually assaulting this child.
Google has recently been tuning their search engine to prevent links to over 100,000 possible sources of child abuse material from appearing in any of their search results. Although Google has no control over anyone actually uploading inappropriate photos, they do plan on expanding their technology to more than 150 other languages to help clean up the web.
Google will show warnings at the top of search results, alerting users that child sexual abuse is illegal, and educating the user on where they can go to get help. This alert will show up at the top of the search results for more than 13,000 different specified queries which have earlier been deemed to display illegal behavior.
After Google runs this algorithm, their technology will flag a possible illegal photo. Then, a Google employee will check to see if the photo is in fact abuse, or if the photo is actually one of an innocent nature. Only a real human can tell the difference between the two types of photos, so parents with innocent pictures of their children at bath time will not have to worry about legal prosecution that stems from Google's technology. Google engineers at YouTube also use this technology to help detect illegal videos.
Google has taken much criticism in the past about possibly invading one's privacy, but Google has clarified that they do not search through personal libraries indiscriminately. However, their system will automatically search through the libraries for the "digital fingerprints" that may need to involve law enforcement or other watchdog groups. This Google algorithm will help authorities investigate and bust any suspected pedophiles or abusive persons.
Pictures are given a unique "digital fingerprint" to easily identify them wherever they appear in Google's system. Microsoft has also helped to develop the picture detection technology by developing Photo DNA, a technology able to match pictures using just one single pixel. Using Microsoft's technology, investigators are able to detect if a picture has been uploaded to the internet if it was one that was previously flagged as child porn.
Google has been very supportive to law enforcement and watchdog groups as they continue to help authorities bust suspected pedophiles. To further help with cleaning up the internet, Google plans to help fund internships for engineers at The Internet Watch Foundation in Britain and the US National Center for the Missing and Exploited Children.

Allelic diversity, genetic structure and gene flow of natural populations of Terminalia paniculata Roth. (Combretaceae) from southern parts of Western Ghats revealed by allozyme based assay.
Conservation of plant genetic diversity has recently generated a lot of interest in the tropics as a result of many years of mismanagement, adverse environment as well as socio-economic changes. Plant species, especially the perennials such as trees, rely on the available genetic diversity for stability and survival under the ever-changing environments. Understanding species population genetic structure is essential for their conservation, planning and sustainable management (Sun and Wong, 2001; Daniel et al., 2006). The level of genetic diversity in forest species is a function of both the biological characteristics of the species and the cultural breeding practices. At the species level, the conservation and the maintenance of genetic variation in forest species and their close relatives is a goal of germplasm collection and seed bank establishment (Anass et al., 2006).
Plant genetic resources not only provide basis for life on the earth but most valuable and basic raw materials to meet the current human activities, which have posed a great threat to the plant genetic resources. Therefore, there is an urgent need to conserve these genetic resources (Yu-Pin Cheng et al., 2006) Conversely the loss of genetic variability could render population more vulnerable to extinction in cases of habitat perturbation, reproductive bottlenecks etc (Duran et al., 2005; Wright, 1943).
Maintenance of genetic diversity is considered crucial for long term survival and evolutionary responses of populations to changes in the environment (Hunenke, 1991; Bohumil et al., 2006). In addition, genetic erosion would reduce the potential of the species improvement through selection. Knowledge of allozyme diversity will aid in making reasoned on conservation of forest trees. Terminalia paniculata Roth. (Combretaceae) is a tropical tree with a large natural distribution in Western Ghats. The tree extensively utilized in pharmaceutical, timber tannin, leather and tasar industries (Srivastava, 1993). Due to overexploitation and anthropogenic pressure on this species lead to habitat fragmentation and loss of the species natural population is also on the increase especially in highly settled area. In the present study, allozyme markers were used to characterize genetic diversity in the populations of T.paniculata.
Materials and Methods
Study species and Study site
Terminalia paniculata Roth. (Combretaceae) is a tropical tree species of India found on the Western Ghats between 800 to 1250 m above sea level. Samples were collected from four native populations in eastern slopes of Southern parts of Western Ghats (Courtallam--9 [degrees] 15' N, 77 [degrees] 30' E, Sasthakovil--9 [degrees] 21' N, 77 [degrees] 48' E, Kodaiyar--8 [degrees] 30' N, 77 [degrees] 18' E and Petchiparai--8 [degrees] 25' N, 77 [degrees] 13' E). Entire leaves were collected in field and stored in plastic bags with moist paper towels over ice until electrophoresis was conducted. Leaf sample were collected from randomly 50 trees along transect in each population.
Electrophoretic procedures generally followed Soltis et al., (1983). Leaf samples were prepared using the tris--HCl extraction buffer of Sun and Wong (2001) with 0.6% poly vinyl pyrrolidone, 0.04% EDTA, 0.1% of BSA, 6% Saccharaose, 0.13% Sodium diethyl carbamate and 100 [micro]l-[beta] mercaptoethanol. Small leaf sections were ground in extraction buffer, and the grindate was absorbed onto paper wicks. Wicks were stored at -80 [degrees]C until run on 10.5% starch gels. The following four gel and electrode buffer systems were used to assay the indicated enzymes. System 1 (Soltis et al., 1983): Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH-EC.22.214.171.124), System 3: Esterase (EST--EC. 220.127.116.11) and Peroxidase (PRX--EC. 188.8.131.52), System 4: Phosphoglucomutase (PGM--126.96.36.199) and System 8 (Haufler, 1985): Aspartate aminotransferase (AAT--126.96.36.199). Staining pattern and genetic interpretation of band patterns of allozymes followed standard principles of Wendel and Weeden (1989). Putative loci and alleles were numbered or labeled sequentially from the cathode.
Data analysis
Using the dominant marker for diploid data analysis procedure of Yeh and Boyle (1997), implemented by POPGENE (version 1.2) software for analysis the genetic diversity parameters. Estimate the allele frequencies at each locus by number of alleles occurring within a population. The effective number of allele (ne) (Hartl and Clarke, 1989) takes into account both the number of allele and their frequencies. The mean number of alleles per locus (A) is calculated with an arithmetic mean of the allele frequency of the particular locus. The loci as polymorphic (P) considered by when the most common allele occurred at a frequency < 0.99 (Nei, 1987). From that the percentage of polymorphic loci present in each population is calculated. The estimation of Shannon's information index (I) used to measure the genetic diversity within and among the population (Shannon and Weaver, 1949).
Estimate the proportion of observed (Ho) and expected heterozygosity (He) under random mating using the algorithm of Levene (1949). Departure from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for each population / polymorphic loci combination was examined by Chi-square test. This test was performed to compare observed and expected genotypic frequencies and 0.05 used to probability level. Quantitative estimates of inter populational gene flow (Nm) were calculated following the "private allele model of Slatkin (1985). Nei's unbiased genetic distance (Nei, 1978) was computed for all pair wise combinations of study area. The construction dendrogram based on Nei's genetic distances using UPGMA (Unweighted Pair Group Method with Arithmetic mean).
A total of six allozymes encoded 15 putative loci (AAT-1, AAT-2, AAT-3, ADH-1, ADH-2, PRX-1, PRX-2, EST-1, PGM-1, PGM-2, PGM-3, PGM-4, PGI-1, PGI-2, PGI-3) were consistently resolved in all population of T.paniculata. Of the 15 loci surveyed, 14 were polymorphic (86.66%) in at least one of the populations sampled (Table 1). At the species level, there were 2.92 alleles per polymorphic locus (Ap), the effective no. of alleles was 1.45 and expected heterozygosity (He) was 0.21.
At the population level, on average 68.33% of the loci were polymorphic among the populations Sasthakovil and Kodaiyar having the highest values (86.66% and 73.33% repetitively). Courtallam have the lowest value (46.66%). There were 1.4515 effective alleles per locus, and 2.92 alleles at polymorphic loci. In the case of total number alleles present in the population was more in Sasthakovil (35 alleles) and low (29 alleles) Courtallam were observed. Expected heterozygosity (He) ranged from 0.2104 (Table 1). Totally 16 rare alleles were identified from the overall allele frequency. Three private alleles (ADH-2D, PGI 3D and PGI-3E) in Courtallam population and absent in other populations. The gene diversity (I) found in the populations of Sasthakovil (0.3891 [+ or -] 0.075) was higher than other populations and low at species level (0.3667 [+ or -] 0.093).
The genetic differentiation was observed in all population derived from both observed (Ho) and expected heterozygosity deviation from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. For every population mean observed heterozygosity (Ho) was lower than expected heterozygosity (He) at normal conditions. But in the population of Petchiparai the mean observed heterozygosity (0.2089 [+ or -] 0.0485) was higher than mean expected heterozygosity (0.1971 [+ or -] 0.0451). The genetic differentiation of He was very low in Courtallam (0.1864 [+ or -] 0.0372) and high in Sasthakovil (0.2288 [+ or -] 0.0456) (Table 1).
Interpopulational gene flow was estimated as Nm = 11.8859 indicate a high degree of gene flow among populations. The more frequency of gene flow found in ADH-1 allele and gene flow was zero in PGM-3, PGI-1. Genetic distance help to explore the genetic relationship among the populations the average distance between all pairs of populations was low (0.0086). It was lowest between populations Kodaiyar and Petchiparai; Kodaiyar and Courtallam. The genetic distance was high in between populations Sasthakovil and Kodaiyar; Sasthakovil and Petchiparai. The genetic distance values ranged from 0.0002 to 0.0123. The genetic diversity results indicate a strong differentiation of the populations based on their geographic origin. The genetic distance (Table 2) between populations increases with increase in their geographic distance, though not significantly (p > 0.05). Based on Nei's genetic distance, a dendrogram of the four populations was constructed (Fig. 1). The dendrogram indicated three clusters; the first cluster comprised population of Petchiparai and Kodaiyar, while second cluster comprised population of Courtallam. The third cluster comprised the population of Sasthakovil.
Genetic structure studies of tree species have furthered our understanding of how population genetic architecture is produced by provided insights on patterns of gametic union, gene flow and genetic sub structuring of plant populations (Hamrick, 1989). However, most of the studies to date have focused on temperate species, particularly conifers and tropical species have only recently begun to be studied in detail (Marta et al., 2008). Many temperate tree species have large population sizes, high densities and wind pollination and high out crossing rates, promote large neiborhood size and extensive gene flow. This combination of demographic and reproductive traits typically results in high genetic diversity within populations and little genetic differentiation among population (Brown et al., 1985). Tropical forest trees grow under dramatically different demographic conditions than their temperate counter parts. Tropical trees often have lower population densities than temperate species (Hubel and Foster, 1983).
Species genetic diversity can be interpreted under three criteria. One is the allelic diversity, which is measured as the total number of alleles at each locus in a population or species. A second factor that also accounts for expected heterozygosity and a third factor is the percentage of polymorphic loci present at the species level. Under the three criteria T.paniculata has higher levels of diversity than other plant species with different life history characteristics (Odasz and Savolainen, 1996; Sun and Wong, 2001; Lauren et al., 2008).
The allozyme data of T.paniculata revealed relatively higher variation at the species level (P = 87%; A = 2.67 and He 0.21) in compared with other animal- pollinated out-breeding species (P = 50%; A = 1.99 and He = 0.17) (Hamrick and Godt, 1989). Generally large population sizes and tremendous gene flow among the major factors contributing to this pattern of population structure in T.paniculata. In Spiranthes sinensis also show the higher variation at species level because of its large population size and higher rate of gene flow (Sun, 1996; Marta et al., 2008). But in the case of Goodyera procera is a good example (Wong and Sun, 1999) where despite its outbreeding system, allozyme data revealed relatively low variation at the species level (P = 33%; A = 1.33; and He = 0.15) in comparison with other animal pollinated outbreeding plant species. It shows small population sizes and lack of gene flow among the populations was the major factors contributing to low level of genetic variation pattern.
All parameters of genetic variability were high in all populations of T.paniculata, with some of them being near the maximum known for plants (Hamrick, 1989) and higher than values previously reported (Corrias et al., (1991; Felicia et al., 2006; William et al., 2008). These values are also higher than the average reported for monocots, herbs, long-lived perennials, restricted geographical distributed plants and wind-dispersed seeded plants (Hamrick and Godt, 1989; Daniel et al., 2006; Peter et al., 2008). The higher genetic variability, present in T.paniculata may be due to dependent on pollinator behaviour. The pollination biology of T.paniculata showed that the insects usually remain for a long time on the flowers and inflorescence thus being able to promote pollination between flowers of the same tree (Thangaraja and Ganesan, 2008). The similar type of trend was also observed in Pleurothalis sps. (Meve and Liede, 1994).
T.paniculata has self-incompatibility species and dichogamy it will help to prevent self-pollination. These mechanism in conjunction seen to be effective in promoting seed set by cross pollination as suggested by the high degree of genetic variability actually found. The genetic variability found in T.paniculata is similar to or higher than that usually found in cross-pollinated species, while autogamous ones tend to have much lower values of FIS value is low. Barba and Semir (1999) noted that these combined mechanisms frequently occur in fly-pollinated species in which the pollinators stay for a long time in flowers of the same individual. This, in turn, may help to maintain high genetic variability in these species.
Breeding system, seed dispersal and, most importantly, geographic range has predictive roles in shaping the genetic structure of populations. More widespread species, as well as species that outcrossed tend to have greater diversity within population (Brenan, 1983; Nicholas et al., 2008). T.paniculata occurs in gregarious groups along river systems in waterlogged conditions. During floods, the seeds of T.paniculata are often carried to long distances and deposited along the banks of rivers giving rise to gregarious stands. Thus populations of Kodaiyar and Petchiparai occur along the same river and geographically related have greater chances to be related and result in low genetic variation between these two populations.
Rare alleles (with an allelic frequency less than 0.05 within given population) were more abundant in Sasthakovil populations (12 rare alleles) than in others. The frequency of rare alleles is negatively related to gene flow (Slatkin, 1985; Lauren et al., 2008). Hence, the private alleles (alleles detected in only one population; three private alleles (PGI-3D, PGI-3E and ADH-2D) is congruent with overall high gene flow (Nm).
At the population level, the Courtallam population to be genetically depauperate compared to the rest of the populations because the size of their populations was probably seriously affected by anthropogenic pressure. The pressure was created due to tourisms and colonization--extinction episodes. However, no information is available regarding the possibility of such processes to have occurred with respect to T.paniculata of the Western Ghats. Diversity estimates obtained with allozymes indicate that these populations have lower allelic diversity and low level of observed heterozygosity. These results agree with theoretical models that indicate that these parameters are differently affected by population bottlenecks (Nicholas et al., 2008).
The levels of heterozygosity observed in all populations were lower than expected from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium values, except Sasthakovil populations. Two possible explanations can explain the observed heterozygosity is lower than expected heterozygosity values. First, significant amounts of selfing could be occurring within T.paniculata populations. However, experimental crossings have shown that T.paniculata is strictly self-incompatible. Second, genetic diversity may be structured in neighborhoods, and mating may mainly take place among genetically related and geographically close individuals. The pollinators of T.paniculata have shown that pollinators fly nearest inflorescence while they collect the pollen and nectar.
Turner et al., (1982) was described the genetic structure of the plant species was influenced by nearest--neighbor pollination by pollinators. They concluded that it increases inbreeding, homozygosity and patchiness in the spatial distribution of genotypes. Thus, pollinator behaviour coupled with the less effective specialized seed dispersal mechanisms could be favouring the establishment of neighborhoods of related individuals.
The present investigation reveals that the estimate of allelic diversity and observed heterozygosity, T.paniculata maintains a significant level of genetic variation in the studied regions of the genome. Furthermore, a large proportion of the alleles identified (28 and 34%) occurs at frequencies below 0.05 at Sasthakovil and Kodaiyar. Therefore, T.paniculata is especially vulnerable to the loss of allelic richness due to fluctuations in population size. Based on the present investigation related to genetic variation and genetic differentiation among the populations, authors recommended that for a viable conservation programme, the genetic resources of T.paniculata are best conserved in Sasthakovil and Kodaiyar population. As a priority, the population at Sasthakovil may be targeted for conservation. This would ensure the conservation of a relatively rich proportion of genetic diversity and presence of private allele representative of that existing in other populations.
Uma Shaanker and Ganeshaiah (1997) proposed an alternate strategy involving the establishment of forest gene banks for the conservation of genetic resources of forest trees. Based on that T.paniculata, forest gene bank could be established for the conservation of genetic resources in the Southern Western Ghats. Based on the genetic diversity and gene flow parameters, Courtallam population could serve as 'sink' of the gene pool while those at the Sasthakovil and Kodaiyar can serve as 'source'.

The Return Of The Iconic Campbell Apartment
With its Gilded Age leanings intact
Though most people associate the cocktail scene of the last decade with unassuming East Village bars, the Campbell Apartment has always been one of the preeminent cocktail bars and 'speakeasies' in New York. Despite its location in the hectic Grand Central station, for years it was tucked away, reserved only for those who were in the know. But last July the famous property closed, much to the surprise of New York's imbibers. Now Gerber Group has brought the space back to life, retaining the things that made it so unique while adding new touches that will appeal to most.
"We wanted to make sure we respected the space but made it current," says Scott Gerber, CEO of Gerber Group. For starters, it's no longer a secret. The location of the bar has been made clear, and is welcome to those unfamiliar with the drinking scene. "I don't want it to be this old curmudgeon-y place where you have to wear a suit and tie; I like to wear jeans and sneakers, people should come here as they feel comfortable being here," Gerber explains, and from opening night the crowd was far more eclectic than you would expect from a historic venue.
Originally the apartment of financier John Campbell, Gerber Group divided the space into three distinct bars, The Campbell Bar, The Campbell Palm Court, and The Campbell Terrace outdoors. But since it's a historic property, and the interiors are landmarked (thus many changes can't be made), the things that guests loved about the Jazz Age style and elegance of the space have been retained. "We knew we were going to have to keep this stuff when we bid, so if we didn't love it we wouldn't have bid on it." Gerber Group, known for famous hotel projects like Kingside at The Viceroy and the Mr. Purple lounge also made sure to modernize the food and drink menu; everything from their Summertime Spice made with Casamigos to their grilled cheese sandwich embodies the comfort the group is known for with the freshest ingredients available.
It's a nice transition into modern times for such a storied venue, and New Yorkers can breath a sigh of relief that one of their classic, defining cocktail institutions is back doing what it does best.
Campbell Apartment is located on 15 Vanderbilt Avenue

Here's what it looks like before it's baked, when the basil looks green and inviting instead of dark and withered. (My cookie sheet is loaded with cornmeal because it's my pizza peel; it works like a charm, thank you for asking.)
Anyway, prepare your favorite pizza dough crust. I use this one, because a thin crust couldn't handle the boatload of toppings. This time, as I often do, I substituted whole wheat for half of the flour.
Now, you should also prepare your favorite pizza sauce. Do you want my recipe that's not a recipe and that changes according to my mood or the weather? Here you go.
1 quart of home-canned tomatoes, drained
1 small can of tomato paste
a healthy splash or two of white cooking wine
1-2 tsp. salt
2-4 tsp. sugar
a whole mess of freshly minced garlic (and I do mean a WHOLE MESS-- usually at least 1/2 a head of garlic)
depending on the pizza, I add one or more of the following, to taste
red pepper flakes
whatever fresh or dried herbs I desire (basil, rosemary, oregano, parsley, etc.)
The End.
Oh, wait. I was showing you a pizza with toppings, wasn't I?
So now you should have your favorite dough prepared and your favorite pizza sauce prepared. On to the toppings:
-Roast about 2 red peppers, then remove the ribs, seeds, and skin, before cutting into strips. (I broil mine to roast them. If you've got a gas oven, you can roast them directly over the flames. If you've never done this, please google a real cook who isn't too lazy to give you a tutorial in pictures.)
-Cut an eggplant into slices, about 1/4-inch thick.
Toss the slices in a bowl with some drizzles of olive oil, and then roast in your oven until soft and nicely browned, about 15 minutes, turning once (I quickly broil mine to cut down on time spent.)
-In a pan over medium-low heat, pour a few tablespoons olive oil, a few cloves freshly minced garlic, and a few shakes of red pepper flakes, if desired. Warm until heated through and set aside.
Okay. Shape your pizza dough, top with red sauce, sprinkle with mozzerella cheese (and parmesan cheese, if desired), and then layer on the eggplant slices. Layer the roasted red pepper strips on top of the eggplant, and then drizzle the olive oil/garlic/red pepper (if desired) mixture on top. Place 10-12 fresh, torn basil leaves on top and slide off of your cornmeal-dusted fake pizza peel onto a five-dollar pizza stone (it works like a charm; thank you for asking). Bake in a preheated 500-degree oven for as long as it takes. If you've made pizza before, bake according to your oven's quirks, taking into account the fact that this is a thickly loaded pizza. I have a quirky oven and hesitate to give baking times, for fear that I'll ruin the meal for people with normal ovens.
The End. For Real This Time.

If you ever needed a reason to get out of bed later, here it is.
A study published in the official journal of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, Sleep, established a damning link between workday start times and chronic sleep loss. Shortchanging yourself of sleep can lead to fatigue, irritableness, lapses in concentration, and a host of other inconveniences that many of us are familiar with by now (and those are just short term effects). Putting on a few extra pounds? That's probably because of those 5 consecutive alarms that you set to drag you out of bed.
Which is why the recent findings from the AASM are especially welcome. "Potential intervention strategies to decrease the prevalence of chronic sleep loss in the population include greater flexibility in morning work and class start times," said lead author Dr. Mathias Basner, assistant professor of sleep and chronobiology in psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine. There you have it. For the sake of your well-being, start work later – or at least petition for flexible work times.
Driving its point home, the study continued by saying that with "every hour that work or educational training started later in the morning, sleep time increased by approximately 20 minutes". For the chronically sleep-deprived amongst us, those extra minutes are a godsend.
If an extra 20 minutes doesn't seem like much, think again. A separate study quoted by the Wall Street Journal noted that missing out on as little as twenty minutes of sleep can impair your "performance and memory" when its time to get out of bed – and persist throughout the entire day. Sleepy workers make inefficient workers: who knew?
So put aside your 7am wake up calls, stop angsting about having to haul yourself out of bed before sunrise – and change your company's workday start times today.

The UK will continue to play a strong and committed role in supporting the Government of Afghanistan
Statement by UK Ambassador Peter Wilson to the UN Security Council on Afghanistan, UNAMA
Thank you, Mr President.
Let me first thank Special Representative Kubis for his update to the Council and to Mr Fedetov for his briefing. I also thank Ambassador Tanin for his remarks.
I will focus my remarks today on 4 areas: the elections, security, engagement with the Government of Afghanistan, and counter narcotics.
Mr President,
Since this Council last met to discuss Afghanistan in March, we have seen some extraordinary moments of courage from the Afghan people.
In April and again earlier this month, they showed the world their desire to have a say in their country's future by turning out to vote in the Presidential elections. "They voted for peace" as Ambassador Tannin said. This is a huge achievement. As the electoral process enters the final stages, it is essential that all stakeholders act in the interests of stability and national unity. Special Representative Kubis has underlined the need to find a way forward. We urge both presidential candidates and their teams to demonstrate the same patience and respect with the electoral authorities as they did during the first round.
At this critical time in the process, both candidates need to work with the Independent Election Commission and Independent Electoral Complaints Commission and their established legal mechanisms for investigating and adjudicating complaints, as Australia and others have said. We also urge the electoral institutions to conduct their investigations thoroughly and transparently.
Mr President,
The fighting season in Afghanistan is underway and security is a challenge for all concerned. Over the last 3 months, as the Secretary-General's report highlights, a high number of incidents have been reported. Innocent civilians have been targeted and killed. These attacks must be strongly condemned.
We pay tribute to the courage and sacrifice of the security forces operating in Afghanistan at this challenging time. Their dedication has allowed the Government of Afghanistan to build the foundations for a stable and democratic country. In particular, we recognise the contributions of the Afghanistan National Security Forces. Their security plans, implemented against a backdrop of insurgent attempts to disrupt the elections, were a testament both to their confidence and capability.
The support of NATO and the international community will be vital to ensuring that security in Afghanistan lasts. The NATO Summit to be hosted by the United Kingdom later this year will be an opportunity to support the establishment of NATO's military, financial and political support to Afghanistan beyond 2014, and to mark the achievements of ISAF. Regional initiatives, such as the Heart of Asia process, for which China will host the next meeting in Tianjin at the end of August, will continue to play a vital role.
Mr President,
Once a new President and his team are in place in Afghanistan, the United Kingdom will work in close cooperation with partners on this Council and the wider international community to pursue shared aspirations. Together we must set out a constructive approach, that allows the new Afghan President and his team the ability to formulate their own vision for the future, whilst pressing ahead on the key reforms and priorities we know must happen quickly.
For the United Kingdom, signature of the United States/Afghan Bilateral Security Agreement and the NATO Status of Forces Agreement is key. Subject to these agreements, the Resolute Support Mission will be a vital part of NATO's engagement in Afghanistan beyond 2014. President Obama's announcement of the United States contribution, that the United States just referred to a moment ago, is a significant step forward.
We also want to signal the importance of a peace process and engagement with key regional partners on how best to sustain progress made in the region.
On the economy, steps to shore up longer-term confidence in Afghanistan's economic future will be vital, including by passing and implementing important economic legislation. The support of this Council and the work of UNAMA will be essential in this effort, both in signalling our expectations and delivering key assistance on the ground.
Finally, Mr President,
As Mr Fedetov has outlined to the Council, the challenge posed by drugs to Afghanistan and the wider region is serious. The United Kingdom recognises the importance of tackling the drugs trade and the significant challenges that remain. This is a complex problem which needs a comprehensive approach, combining tougher law enforcement, economic development initiatives and the promotion of alternative livelihoods. The United Kingdom will continue to work with the United Nations and international partners to support the Afghan Government in this effort.
Mr President,
For all the challenges that lie ahead, we see many reasons to be hopeful in Afghanistan. The United Kingdom will continue to play a strong and committed role in supporting the Government of Afghanistan to build a more peaceful and prosperous future for all Afghans.

Medical questions & health advice by board certified doctors
"Can Trichomoniasis be spread any other way besides having sex?"
I haven't been with anyone other than my boyfriend in about 8 years. He also is adamant that he has not been with anyone else either. I was recently diagnosed with Trichomonasis and I have no clue how or why this is happening. I have not cheated but now my relationship is basically over because of this. I just want to know if there is any way possible there could be another explanation for this? My last pap was in April and it was not detected and because my bf and I are in a long distance relationship we haven't had sex since July. Could I have had this for 8 years and not have known? Is it possible that this is from sex toys, a vertical hood piercing I got a year ago, I read somewhere that smoking marijuana,or something else. Please help, if we are both innocent I don't want to lose my relationship but I'm positive I didn't do this and I believe he didn't either but it had to come from somewhere.
Sorry to hear about your problem, and I recommend that you discuss your concern with your doctor. The most common method of spreading and obtaining a sexually transmitted disease is via sexual contact. A consistent relationship with a single person is one of the most effective methods of preventing the spread of STDs, but does rely on each partner not engaging in sexual contact with others. If you have been tested previously and have not had a sexually transmitted disease, then the most likely explanation is that you have had sexual contact with someone who has the sexually transmitted disease. Any spread of body fluids can potentially spread this sort of disease, and so toys and other things that have come into contact with infected fluids can theoretically also transmit diseases. Piercing and other procedures that are completed in this area may offer some theoretical risk as well, with the risk being elevated depending on the sterilization procedures followed by whoever performed the piercing. While there are many different possibilities, however, it is apparent that most of these are theoretical, meaning that while they are possible, they are much less likely to be the cause of you having recently contracted this STD if you have never had it before. Your doctor will be able to help, so please discuss this with your doctor.

Lip Stain
Hi Everyone!
This is the Smashbox Limitless Lip Stain and Colour Seal Balm in Guava which is a bright coral-red colour. This is the first lip product that I have purchased from Smashbox and also the first lip stain that I have tried. This product if a marker pen style lip stain at one end and a balm at the other. First you apply the lip stain to clean lips by outlining your lips and then filling them in (there is no need to use a regular lip liner with this product). You then apply the balm over the top of this when it has fully dried to to make your lips feel smoother and to refresh the colour throughout the day. The one thing that has put me off from buying lip stains before is that I feared that they would cause my lips to dry out.
Lip Balm
I was really attracted to this colour as I love red red lipsticks but hate how they can feather quite badly and end up on you teeth! I applied Guava Lip Stain mid afternoon to go shopping and out for dinner with my friends. The colour is really bright and eye catching and certainly got a few comments! I did find that my lips felt very dry through the day so I applied the balm quite a few times but I never had to worry about the colour bleeding or getting onto my teeth (does anyone remember Mrs Doyle from Father Ted? Not a good look!) which is a massive advantage. I did not re-apply the stain at all during the day and ate a meal, when I arrived home around 60% of the colour was still in place, only the inner parts of my lips had worn off. This is great compared to a regular lipstick but does not quite live up to Smashbox's 8 hours of full coverage claim.

I feel that this product has some pretty major pros and cons! A major pro to it is that it is a great way to wear a bright shade without having to worry about it budging which is great. It also eliminates the need to use a separate lip liner. The disadvantages to this product is that it does make your lips feel dry despite the balm and is fairly difficult to remove fully at the end of the day. The product is priced at £21.50 in the UK which I feel is very expensive and, in my opinion, not worth the money which is why I won't be re-purchasing. Overall I would give the product 2 and a half stars out of 5.
I purchased my lip stain from Debenhams for £21.50 and you can also get it from Amazon here: Smashbox Limitless Lip Stain & Color Seal Balm Petal

ConclusionsWho would have thought? You can't simply "walk off" your depression. Now what does that tell us about GET, which seems to be equally common sense to psycho-quacks?
The addition of a facilitated physical activity intervention to usual care did not improve depression outcome or reduce use of antidepressants compared with usual care alone.

Scotland's papers: High-rise horror
Pictures showing the huge fire that engulfed Grenfell Tower in North Kensington, London, killing at least 12 people, dominate the front pages.
The Scotsman says the catastrophic fire has prompted action from Scottish authorities to ensure that their high-rise residential blocks are safe.
The Times reports that dozens of people are feared dead in one of Britain's worst fire disasters after the inferno swept through the London tower block, which had been the subject of repeated warnings that it was unsafe.
Likewise, the inferno that engulfed a tower block, killing at least 12 people, could become one of the biggest fire tragedies in British history, amid claims it was a "disaster waiting to happen", reports The Telegraph.
Advice given to the residents of the 24-storey, 68-metre high Grenfell Tower block told them to stay inside their flats and close the door if a fire broke out elsewhere in the building, says the i newspaper.
The Daily Mail writes that ministers were warned numerous times over the cladding that turned the Grenfell Tower into an inferno but ignored the advice of fire experts. The paper prints claims that the Home Office was handed a "damning" report after hundreds of residential tower blocks were surveyed in the 1990s - but did nothing.
According to the Daily Express, a local community leader, working to locate victims, has claimed "nobody who lived on the top three floors survived" the fire, which started just before 01:00 on Wednesday.
A mum who shared a harrowing broadcast from inside the Grenfell Tower blaze on Facebook Live is still missing along with her two young daughters, reports the Daily Record.
The Scottish Sun quotes survivors who told how they fought through black smoke to escape via the central stairwell, which was "littered" with bodies.
The Daily Star prints the images of 13 people who are missing following the fire and reports how Grenfell Action Group said in November "only a catastrophic event" would expose the safety issues in the building.
The death toll from the devastating tower block fire in west London is expected to rise as investigators trawl through the wreckage in the search for other victims, according to The Courier.
Flames tore through the 24-storey Grenfell Tower in North Kensington overnight, leaving people trapped on upper floors - some holding babies out of windows and others jumping from their flats, says The Herald.
Some bodies have been recovered from the smouldering remains of the block, which contains 120 flats thought to be home to between 400 and 600 people, writes The National.

Course Summary
Interior Architecture is one of the four related degrees in Architecture, Architectural Design and Technology, and Architectural Engineering within the world class School of the Built Environment at the University of Salford. This Interior Architecture programme aims to produce graduates who combine highly imaginative creative design skills with the sound technical and management knowledge base that is essential for success in today's design, architecture and construction industries. A key challenge for society today is to find ways of re-using in a sustainable way the large stock of vacant existing buildings. This is an important area of work for Interior Architects and this programme covers issues of heritage, preservation and the management of building regeneration.
You will study with other architecture students and collaborate with other built environment disciplines which focus on the 'making of buildings'. You will work on real-life commercial and community-based projects, gaining practical experience to support your development. Throughout the course you will be developed professionally to ensure that you are working to the standards recognised by Interior Architecture/Design professional bodies.
In your first year you will study a range of topics to develop your design skills in hand drawing, model making and digital design, alongside an introduction to the technical and theoretical aspects of architecture and design. Your second year offers further specialist modules and you will also work with other built environment students to complete a project. In your final year, you will continue to develop your design, technical and professional skills as you advance your knowledge of interior architecture.
We have an active architecture student society that organises extra-curricular trips abroad as well as additional study sessions. Follow Architechnique on Facebook and Instagram to see what they get up to!

When speaking of His Second Coming, Christ often admonishes, "Behold, I come quickly" (Revelation 3:11; Revelation 22:7,12, 20; D&C 33:18, 34:12, 35:27, 87:8, etc.). This admonition is often received by members of the Church as a reference to time or speed, suggesting that Christ will come again very soon. This common understanding of this phrase is appropriate and I am certainly not the one to discount it. I can, however, suggest an alternate meaning may also be intended.
In the Bible Dictionary, the word "quick" is defined as "living" or "alive". Similar definitions are found in older dictionaries where "quickly" is defined much more closely to the word "quicken," as in, "quickened by the spirit" or "made alive by the spirit". If we accept this alternate definition, Christ is not declaring the time of His Coming, rather the manner or way in which He will come. Christ will return full of life-- resurrected and powerful. He will come quickly, or as a vibrant, living being.
Accepting this definition also changes another frequent phrase in the Doctrine and Covenants. The Lord often says we should, "give heed unto my word, which is quick and powerful, sharper than a two-edged sword" (D&C 6:2, 11:2, 27:1, etc.). Again, our new (or actually, very old) definition changes the meaning from a statement of timing to a statement of vibrancy. His word is alive and powerful. His word is vibrant.
Each of these examples correctly point to Christ as the source of life. Christ has said that he is the life (John 11:25, 14:6), the living water (John 7:38) and the God of the living (Matthew 22:32). We live by His word (Deut. 8:3, Matt. 4:4, D&C 84:44), or we have eternal life through His gospel and obedience to His commandments. We obtain the life of which Jesus speaks when we are baptized, or born again, as Christ told Nicodemus (John 3:3). Through this covenant, we become the children of Christ, or those to whom He gives life.
Jesus Christ will come again. He will come as a glorified, vibrant, powerful and resurrected being. We will see the prints of the nails on his hands and in his side, but He will be living flesh. We can secure eternal life for our souls as we have faith in Christ and His atonement, repent of all of our sins, make and keep sacred baptismal covenants, receive the Gift of the Holy Ghost and continue to endure faithfully. As we do so, we may go quickly to the place prepared for us in the kingdom of God.

As it comes packaged from Eagle Racing:
Breaking the seal:
Pretty typical for Eagle Racing packaging. It would be nice if they did a little more to protect the bottom of the chassis (mine seemed fine), but it is sturdy otherwise.
It comes with a manual that has all the parts listings, shows how the various components are assembled, and explains various setups using the included parts:
The standard Eagle gyro is included:
The included motor pulley, which is 16T.
Additional hardware, including inserts for adjusting the rear toe at the upright. It can be adjusted between 0, 1, & 2 degrees. Also are battery hold downs, and the ball end for the servo arm.
Lastly are the body mounts. There are a few different sizes and shapes to pick from.
My initial impression of the production kit is very favorable. Everything moves freely, and there is zero slop in the steering and suspension. The only exception is the front upper control arms. They have a small amount of play around the od of the shaft they pivot on. I have had similar problems from Wrap Up upper arms as well, so it is not just an Eagle problem. It takes a lot of precision to get that right with a mass produced part. There are some nice included options, and the fit and finish looks great overall. If this thing slides like the prototype, and there is no reason is shouldn't, I am going to be really happy with this thing for a while. With all that is included, I think this thing will be hard to beat in the bang for the buck category.

Bill Butterworth 2 October 15
The UK is exporting wood chip for biomass heat and power generation. It is a form of insanity for one very simple reason; it would be much more environmentally less damaging to use the diesel burned in preparing and transporting the chip to just burn it in a diesel driving a generator. We use less diesel for the same power output in many, maybe most, biomass situations.
Common sense tells us that if we have a high bilk, low energy density material like wood, then the last thing we need to do is spend a lot of energy processing and transporting it. Chipping takes a lot of power. Pelleting takes a lot more. Trucks transporting chip probably don't do much more than 5 or 7 miles to the gallon.
Where does this lead us? Well, there are some hints that the current government in the UK is minded to support and encourage local power generation. Maybe this is a good idea. When I was a kid, every town had its own gasworks. Now we have the technology, maybe micro-generators and DC (rather than AC) power is the way to go.

(Dec. 31, 2008) A series of startling crimes and violent assaults in 2008 left residents worried about their safety and questioning what kind of place the island is becoming.�
Two sexual assaults in the mid-island area in a three-month span put Nantucketers on edge, as police have only released generally vague descriptions of the suspects in both incidents, but have yet to apprehend anyone.
The two home invasions occurred about a mile apart, with one on Bartlett Road in July and another in the area of Friendship Lane and Somerset Road in October. In both cases, the assailant entered the homes through unlocked doors, overpowered the victims, and sexually assaulted the women before escaping in the early morning hours. Despite the fact that the descriptions of the suspects in the two incidents are similar, police have not commented on whether they could be connected, but many islanders believe there is a link.�
Police have urged residents to take precautions, such as locking doors and windows, and reporting suspicious activity, but the island has clearly been on edge since the crimes were reported.
In the first assault in July, police described the suspect a black male reported to be 5�8� with a thin build who was unknown to the victim, and was last seen wearing a green polo-style shirt with blue jeans. The suspect in the October assault was described as a black male approximately six feet tall with a slender to muscular build.
Yet the recent home invasions only skim the surface of the violent and disturbing incidents that have occurred around the island in 2008.
A 9-year old girl with special needs was taken from the Essex Road playground in September and allegedly sexually assaulted by an El Salvadoran landscaper in his truck and at his home before he put the girl on an NRTA bus.
There was also the case of the Yorkshire Terrier found dead in a washing machine after a party at a home off Cliff Road in July.
Earlier in the summer a five-year-old boy was treated for burns after his 16-year-old babysitter reprimanded him by heating up a spoon on a stove and burning the boy�s hand.
In August, an island woman viciously attacked another woman at the Bamboo Supper Club with a pint glass and her high-heeled shoe, leaving the victim permanently scarred, and two local men were charged with a hate crime for the alleged beating of an Eastern European man on Swain Street.�
In June, a 42-year-old woman was stabbed in an altercation that took place in the staff housing units of the Sherburne Commons elderly-living community.
This summer, two men were beaten and robbed on the Surfside Road bike path during the early morning hours, while another man was stomped in front of The Muse nightclub. Even school children have been harassed and intimidated by adult suspects in broad daylight on the Surfside and Fairgrounds roads bike paths in recent months.�
