Arnold Schwarzenegger says Terminator: Genisys sequel talk is "presumptuous"
Ever since Megan Ellison won the rights to James Cameron's TERMINATOR franchise, we have been told the plan was for TERMINATOR: GENISYS to kick off a new, stand-alone trilogy of films. Mostly, this was to maximize profits on the series before the rights reverted back to Cameron, but also because Hollywood cannot make a single movie anymore. Well, it seems like the person thinking most logically about the future of THE TERMINATOR is none other than Arnold Schwarzenegger himself.
Speaking with the press following a screening of TERMINATOR: GENISYS, Schwarzenegger was directly asked whether he would return for the proposed sequels. His answer may surprise you.
The studio is maybe thinking so. But I, myself, I always think of one at a time. … To me, it's [more] important that the people go and see this movie, that the movie's successful, that it gets good reviews, that people enjoy it, and that the demand of you all creates a desire for us to do another one, rather than to be presumptuous and to say, 'Hey, we're going to do two more.'"
It is easy to forget that while Arnold Schwarzenegger was (and is) a massive movie star, he has only appeared in multiple films in three franchises: THE TERMINATOR, CONAN and THE EXPENDABLES. In those series, none of the sequels were made in rapid succession to the first with THE EXPENDABLES waiting a couple of years between entries. While I doubt Arnold has any final decision on whether the sequels happen, he is right that it will depend on box office results. As it stands, the buzz from the online community is decidedly negative for TERMINATOR: GENISYS. We shall see how the rest of the public feels about it.
TERMINATOR: GENISYS opens July 1st.

Most pets will want to have some area where they can go and feel hidden and safe from the outside world. It can sometimes be tough for pets to feel like they have their own space in a regular home. If you're able to find the right kinds of cat trees, dog houses, and other such structures, you're going to find that your pets are ultimately going to be a lot happier and ready to engage with you. You'll find the following post to be very helpful in assisting you in finding the right kinds of pet structures. You're going to find that finding the right kind of pet structure will first and foremost require you to seek out a design that really shows off a little creativity. When you're trying to find the very best cat trees, you'll want to make sure that they have plenty of little areas for the pet to hide away.

text: Thalay Sagar Attempts by Spaniards. Two Spanish expeditions were unable to complete the ascent of Thalay Sagar (6904 meters, 22,650 feet). On the night of August 20, Carlos Suárez and Alfonso Vizán started up the north face. They climbed through much of the day but could find no place to bivouac on the precipitous slopes, which were being swept by avalanches. They descended in 15 rappels from 6450 meters. Another group, principally Basque, attempted the mountain via the col between it and Bhrigupanth. They were Juan Carlos (Txingu) Arreita, the brothers Patxi and Juan Lasarte, Lucio Egiguren and Jaca Chiro Sánchez. From the col they hoped to climb the Polish-Norwegian route on the northeast ridge, but they gave up below the col at 5900 meters because of the great quantity of loose snow, which avalanched and carried Juan Lasarte 400 meters down the couloir. Luckily, he escaped with a broken ankle, but he had to be helicoptered out.

The building or site itself may lie within the boundary of more than one authority.
District: Wiltshire (Unitary Authority)
Parish: Chicklade
National Grid Reference: ST 88058 34020
Legacy Record - This information may be included in the List Entry Details.
Reasons for Designation
Oval barrows are funerary and ceremonial monuments of the Early to Middle
Neolithic periods, with the majority of dated monuments belonging to the later
part of the range. They were constructed as earthen or rubble mounds of
roughly elliptical plan, usually delimited by quarry ditches. These ditches
can vary from paired "banana-shaped" ditches flanking the mound to "U-shaped"
or unbroken oval ditches nearly or wholly encircling it. Along with the long
barrows, oval barrows represent the burial places of Britain's early farming
communities and, as such, are amongst the oldest field monuments surviving
visibly in the present landscape. Where investigated, oval barrows have
produced two distinct types of burial rite: communal burials of groups of
individuals, including adults and children, laid directly on the ground
surface before the barrow was built; and burials of one or two adults interred
in a grave pit centrally placed beneath the barrow mound. Certain sites
provide evidence for several phases of funerary monument preceding the barrow
and, consequently, it is probable that they may have acted as important ritual
sites for local communities over a considerable period of time. Similarly, as
the filling of the ditches around oval barrows often contains deliberately
placed deposits of pottery, flintwork and bone, periodic ceremonial activity
may have taken place at the barrow subsequent to its construction. Oval
barrows are very rare nationally, with less than 50 recorded examples in
England. As one of the few types of Neolithic structure to survive as
earthworks, and due to their rarity, their considerable age and their
longevity as a monument type, all oval barrows are considered to be nationally
The oval barrow on Keysley Down, 1040m NNE of Chapel Field Barn is, despite some erosion caused by cultivation, a comparatively well preserved example of its class. It exhibits a largely original profile and will include archaeological remains containing information about Neolithic beliefs, economy and environment.
Legacy Record - This information may be included in the List Entry Details.
The monument includes an oval barrow lying immediately below the crest of a
chalk ridge 1040m NNE of Chapel Field Barn. The barrow includes a mound,
aligned almost precisely east-west, which is 33m long, a maximum of 22m wide
and reaches a maximum height of 1.6m at its western end. Traces of a ditch
approximately 5m wide can be seen flanking the southern side of the mound and
around its eastern end. The ditch on the northern side of the mound has become
infilled but will survive as a buried feature.
All marker posts are excluded from the scheduling although the ground beneath
these features is included.
MAP EXTRACT The site of the monument is shown on the attached map extract. It includes a 2 metre boundary around the archaeological features, considered to be essential for the monument's support and preservation.

REST Web Services with Unity.WCF
Microsoft WCF framework is the Microsoft (de-facto) platform for developing SOAP Web Services. Even though in the latest .NET 4 version there are many improvements like: simplified configuration and better support for REST web services type, personally I have a love-hate relationship with it because I believe that is not the easiest platform to work on, especially when it comes to the configuration.
Dependency Injection
One of the first things that I had to deal with when creating the service was the support for
IoC. In our specific case, as my team and I are familiar with and we already have a number of libraries written for Microsoft Unity Framework, that was our primary choice.
As there are many way of implementing the dependency injection in WCF, I found, what I believe one of the easiest ways of supporting IoC, without really writing any code. Our main choice was the Unity.WCF library that can be downloaded freely from the CodePlex site.
Taken from the Unity.WCF codeplex web site:
Unity.WCF is a library that allows the simple integration of Microsoft's Unity IoC container with WCF. This project includes a bespoke
InstanceProviderthat creates a child container per client connection and disposes of all registered
IDisposableinstances once the connection is terminated.
Unity.WCF implements out of the box the support for Microsoft Unity and after installing the package through Nuget, you will be immediately ready to use and inject objects to your service. For the complete reference of how to do so, please check here
REST with Microsoft WCF
Microsoft WCF is a good platform to work when building SOAP based web services, it doesn't shine when it comes to the implementation of REST Web Services. Actually Microsoft has recently released the ASP.NET Web Api framework that is build with only thing in mind, creating RESTful services. So, in general, it is strongly advised NOT to use WCF with REST as the full attention, and hence support and attention for future improvements, will be moved to the new ASP.NET Web Api framework.
I have recently described in one of the posts What technology to use when building Web Services in Microsoft.NET?, so check it out.
So, even after the above explanation, if your choice is to use Microsoft WCF for building RESTful services, and if you want the same support for dependency injection, you may still use Unity.WCF but you need to do some changes, that I am going to show in the next chapter.
Implementing a RESTful Web Service in Microsoft WCF
One of the differences when building the RESTful service is that it should be (but not necessarily) hosted in the WebServiceHost class rather than on the ServiceHost. The
WebServiceHost class is a derived class from
ServiceHost and it is specifically tailored for the RESTful services.
Unfortunately Unity.WCF at the time of writing doesn't support out of the box the support for the WebServiceHost, as internally uses the ServiceHost to host any type of service.
In order to get over this "limitation" we need to extend Unity.WCF, and it is pretty much straightforward. We will accomplish this by implementing two new classes that internally would use the infrastructure already offered by Unity.WCF, and that would be used to host the REST Web Service through WebServiceHost:
UnityWebServiceHostthat mimics the existing Unity.WCF's
UnityWebServiceHostFactorythat mimics the existing
Note: This class inherits from
public abstract class UnityWebServiceHostFactory : WebServiceHostFactory { protected abstract void ConfigureContainer(IUnityContainer container); protected override ServiceHost CreateServiceHost(Type serviceType, Uri[] baseAddresses) { var container = new UnityContainer(); ConfigureContainer(container); return new UnityWebServiceHost(container, serviceType, baseAddresses); } }
Note, this class inherits from
public class UnityWebServiceHost : WebServiceHost { public UnityWebServiceHost(IUnityContainer container, Type serviceType, params Uri[] baseAddresses) : base(serviceType, baseAddresses) { if (container == null) { throw new ArgumentNullException("container"); } ApplyServiceBehaviors(container); ApplyContractBehaviors(container); foreach (var contractDescription in ImplementedContracts.Values) { var contractBehavior = new UnityContractBehavior(new UnityInstanceProvider(container, contractDescription.ContractType)); contractDescription.Behaviors.Add(contractBehavior); } } private void ApplyContractBehaviors(IUnityContainer container) { var registeredContractBehaviors = container.ResolveAll
(); foreach (var contractBehavior in registeredContractBehaviors) { foreach (var contractDescription in ImplementedContracts.Values) { contractDescription.Behaviors.Add(contractBehavior); } } } private void ApplyServiceBehaviors(IUnityContainer container) { var registeredServiceBehaviors = container.ResolveAll (); foreach (var serviceBehavior in registeredServiceBehaviors) { Description.Behaviors.Add(serviceBehavior); } } }
RestBootstrapper is a class that will be used to configure our dependency injection code, and the facto, the Service1.svc should point to this file, as shown below:
public class RestBootstrapper: UnityWebServiceHostFactory { protected override void ConfigureContainer(IUnityContainer container) { //your configuration goes here... container.RegisterType
() .RegisterType (); } }
<%@ ServiceHost Language="C#" Debug="true" Service="REST.Web.Service.Service1" CodeBehind="Service1.svc.cs" Factory="REST.Web.Service.RestBootstrapper" %>
web.config file
Obviously from the web.config point of view, if we want to host the service in IIS, the web.config should be configured as follows:
<!--Configuration of the services exposed by this host.-->
<service name="REST.Web.Service.Service1">
<endpoint address=""
<!-- plain old XML -->
<behavior name="poxBehavior">
<webHttp helpEnabled="true" automaticFormatSelectionEnabled="true"/>
<binding name="webBinding"/>
<serviceHostingEnvironment multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true"
If you liked the article, please pay me back by letting know to others via twitter.
Unity.WCF is a really easy to use library and offers out of the box support for dependency injection on WCF. Actually, there are other libraries by the same author for MVC, etc, so you might check this out. Support for REST through
WebServiceHost is not supported, but as shown above, it is very easy to achieve.
I hope that you enjoyed this article, if so, please consider writing a comment in case you think there are improvements to be done or in case there are alternative or easier ways of achieving this.

EURJPY appears to be having trouble sustaining its forex market climb past the 141.00 handle, indicating that a market correction is due. In this case, price could retrace until the 139.00 major psychological level, which has served as a former resistance area.
A lower pullback could lead to a test of the 138.00 major psychological support, which also coincides with a broken resistance area. This is closer to the 100 and 200 simple moving averages, which might act as dynamic support for forex market price action.
MACD is moving down, reflecting the presence of selling pressure. Stochastic just recently made it out of the oversold zone but is starting to head back down, suggesting that euro bears could still push forex market prices a little lower.
Forex Market Forecast
An upside break from the pair's current consolidation could mean that buyers are ready to charge once more, which could then take EURJPY to its previous highs near the 141.00 major psychological level or higher. A break past the previous highs could lead to a test of 142.00 or perhaps a longer-term rally until the 145.00 major psychological resistance.
Fundamentals favor a weaker euro though, as several ECB officials have noted that further easing is possible. Euro zone PMI figures have mostly surprised to the downside recently, reflecting potentially weaker growth for the region.
However, economic data from Japan has also mostly been disappointing, with many clamoring for further easing from the BOJ as well. For now though, central bank officials refuse to admit that stimulus is needed and the risk-off forex market environment is currently favoring the Japanese yen, as the geopolitical tension from the US airstrikes in Syria could continue to sentiment.
With that, EURJPY could have a shot at selling off from its current forex market levels, possibly until the nearby support zones until sentiment improves considerably.

A hysterectomy is an operation through which some of the female reproductive system is removed. A hysterectomy may be performed as a vaginal hysterectomy, a laparoscopic hysterectomy or an abdominal hysterectomy. A hysterectomy may be conducted when there is need of a total abdominal hysterectomy. Different hysterectomy operations may remove different parts of the reproductive system. Some of the different hysterectomy procedures include sub-total or partial hysterectomy, hysterectomy with ovarian conservation, hysterectomy with oophorectomy, radical or Wertheim's hysterectomy.
When is a Hysterectomy Recommended?
A hysterectomy is recommended when a women has health problems related to her reproductive organs. Some cases where a hysterectomy may be recommended include fibroids, heavy bleeding, endometriosis, prolapse, cancer and uncontrolled bleeding after having a baby.
Preparation for a Hysterectomy
Different hysterectomy operations are performed in different ways. How the hysterectomy is done will depend on the type of hysterectomy operation being conducted. There are three main options for hysterectomy surgery; abdominal hysterectomy, vaginal hysterectomy and laparoscopic hysterectomy.
- An abdominal hysterectomy is done when there is need for extensive exploration of the reproductive system, when the uterus is enlarged or on women who have never had children or who are obese. It can be done with a vertical incision (which involves a cut from the naval to the public hairline) or by a bikini line cut (which is a horizontal incision above the pubic hairline). After the incision has been made, the surgeon will explore the reproductive system and remove the organs that need to be removed.
- A vaginal hysterectomy involves an incision in the upper portion of the vagina. The uterus is then removed through the vagina.
- A laparoscopic hysterectomy involves making three or four small cuts in the abdomen. A laparoscope is inserted through the incisions into the abdominal cavity. The organs are then viewed on a screen and other incisions are made as necessary.
Types of Hysterectomy Surgery
There are also different types of hysterectomy surgery, according to the different organs that are removed. Here are some of the main types of hysterectomy surgery that may be performed.
- Sub-total or partial hysterectomy. This operation removes the Fallopian tubes and the upper two-thirds of the uterus. The cervix is preserved.
- Hysterectomy with ovarian conservation. This operation removes the Fallopian tubes, uterus and the cervix, but preserves the ovaries. This operation is also known as a total hysterectomy.
- Hysterectomy with oophorectomy. This operation removes the Fallopian tubes, uterus and cervix and one or both sets of the ovaries.
- Radical or Wertheim's hysterectomy. This operation removes the Fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix, ovaries, lymph nodes and the upper portion of the vagina. This operation is usually used for cancer cases.
After Hysterectomy
Hysterectomy recovery will depend on the method of the hysterectomy and the type of hysterectomy performed. A vaginal hysterectomy will require less recovery time after hysterectomy than a total abdominal hysterectomy. Women with an abdominal hysterectomy generally take around eight weeks before they can resume normal activities. They will need to stay in hospital from two to five days, depending on the type of operation performed.
Side effects of a hysterectomy can include:
- Feeling nauseous from the general anaesthetic;
- Pain and discomfort in the abdominal region;
- Vaginal discharge or bleeding.
During the recovery period, women need to avoid heavy lifting, bending at the waist, pressure on the wound, active activities and sexual penetration. A post-operative check-up will take place about six weeks after the operation. Some pre-menopausal women who have a hysterectomy may need to take hormone replacement therapy.

From Sydney Harbor in Australia. These two ladies were sitting calmly watching the sun go down as I passed them by. Sometimes I'm envious of the people who spend the time merely watching the scenes I am intensely trying to capture with my camera.

THURSDAY 21st JULY - Belle Vue, warm, dry.
GAP CONNAH'S QUAY 1 FK VOJVODINA 2 (UEFA Europa League, 2nd Qualifying Round, 2nd leg)
The fifth match of my annual July European travels, and before a ball is kicked, almost certainly the last this year. Already this week TNS have lost in Cyprus, leaving only Connahs Quay flying the flag. They only trail 1-0 from the away leg in Serbia last week, having held out for 86 minutes and finally conceded a deflected goal, but it's hard to see them preventing the talented visitors from scoring here in the home leg. But we travel in hope.
THURSDAY 30th JUNE - Belle Vue, wet and cold
GAP CONNAH'S QUAY 0 STABAEK 0 (Europa League 1st Qualifying Round, 1st leg)
48 hours on, same train, same journey up the Welsh/English border. Today's destination Rhyl, whose ground is being used by Connah's Quay for their European debut against Stabaek of Norway. Out in Scandinavia, the Welsh Premier's other two Europa League entrants face Swedish opposition. Tough draws for all three, against clubs in the middle of their domestic seasons.
Rhyl has, in the past, hosted plenty of these games, and usually there's some evidence in the town that there's a match on. Not so today, and once again it seems the European Championships are occupying the minds of public and press alike, leaving these club games overlooked. Indeed, as the torrential rain lashes down on Belle Vue an hour before kick off, the ground is as quiet as I have known it for such a game. The weather again hardly helps, nor does the clash with the first Euro2016 quarter-final. Still, it could be worse - if it had been Wales playing their quarter-final in France tonight, there wouldn't be anyone here. Finally a queue briefly forms at the turnstile, as the small but noisy Stabaek contingent arrives.
The teams emerge with the downpour still at full force, Connah's Quay in red and Stabaek in blue. The visitors' line up is unexpectedly varied - an Indian goalkeeper, Africans from Ivory Coast and Ghana, an Albanian - and a Scottish manager. My initial impression is that it is a very young side indeed.
THURSDAY 9th JULY: Belle Vue, sunny and mild.
BALA TOWN 2 FC DIFFERDANGE 03 1 (UEFA Europa League 1st Qual. Rd., 2nd Lg)
Forty-eight hours after travelling north to see TNS in the Champions League, (and less than 24 hours after getting home) it's time to do it all again: destination Rhyl, to see if Bala can overturn that 3-1 deficit from the first leg of their Europa League match.
It's a fine, sunny day, without the excessive heat of last week, so conditions should suit both sides better. Bala Town have taken over Belle Vue for the evening and the ground is already lively as the first spectators start arriving an hour and a half ahead of the match - merchandise, programmes and raffle tickets all on sale just in side the entrance; UEFA and media types bustle about importantly. There's an air of expectation, almost quiet optimism I feel, among the Welsh contingent. Maybe the feel-good factor from TNS and Newtown pulling off 3 wins so far is infectious, but having seen Bala lose last week, I feel any respectable result tonight will be satisfactory - but an aggregate victory is too much to expect. When asked, I rate the chances as no more than 15-20%....
THURSDAY 2nd JULY - Stade Municipal, Differdange. Weather conditions: heatwave.
FC DIFFERDANGE 03 3 BALA TOWN 1 (Europa League First Qualifying Round, 1st Leg)
Eighteen days after watching my last game of 2014-15, I'm setting off to watch my first of 2015-16: as usual, the new season is heralded by a burst of early July activity in the early rounds of the UEFA competitions and, since the draw last week, the Welsh Premier representatives and their followers have been hastily preparing for the first legs. In my case, I've chosen to watch Bala Town away this week, in Luxembourg, and - rightly or wrongly, I've decided to travel by rail. It seemed like a sound plan, saving significantly over flight costs, but that was before the Calais migrant and ferry worker strikes started disrupting Eurostar.... and before a heatwave started.
After several days of anxiously checking news sites and Eurostar service updates, it's good to get the journey underway on Wednesday, with a full day's travel ahead. Despite the heatwave that has descended on northern Europe making it a less than ideal way for travelling anywhere (Wednesday in fact sets a new July record temperature in Britain), things go smoothly enough after all: the disgruntled ferry workers refrain from blocking the tunnel today, so by late afternoon I'm in Belgium and heading south-east on the slow, stopping train to Luxembourg as it trundles out through the Brussels suburbs, depositing workers and day-trippers at every stop. Four hot and stuffy hours later, the service crawls into the Grand Duchy and, sadistically, dawdles for a final, agonising twenty minutes outside Luxembourg station before releasing its few remaining weary passengers into the humid night air. After a cooling bath and the news that TNS have won in Torshavn, my spirits are fully recovered.
Thursday 2nd July dawns with Luxembourg on red alert because of the heat and humidity: temperatures in the high 30s celsius have caused the government to put the country to implement its plan for the "canicule" (literally dog-day), involving mobilising squads of paramedics, red cross and social workers to visit elderly and vulnerable citizens and help them survive the hot, polluted days and nights.
In Luxembourg city, it's a day for taking things slowly, staying in the shade, drinking copious amounts of mineral water; all of which I do, before having to set off again on a train, in the peak mid-afternoon heat - destination Differdange, a town in the south-west of the country, in the 'Valley of the Red Rocks', an industrial area close to the French border. For an industrial centre, Differdange and its surroundings seem pleasant and semi-rural: the town centre is relaxed, the main road from the station to the square dotted with quiet bars. I settle in one for a cool beer, watching various unfamiliar French types of horse-racing on the TV.
The twenty minute stroll to the Stade Municipal is an ordeal because of the heat and humidity, but it's flat and straightforward. The stadium is adjacent to a large open-air swimming pool, which has predictably drawn huge crowds today. Smaller numbers are filtering into the football stand an hour before the match, all making immediately for the shaded upper rows. Around 75 Bala fans are here to show support with flags and songs, having made their way here across England, France and Belgium, variously by air, sea, rail and road. They're hopeful of course, but seem realistic too - Luxembourg may not be a football power-house, but their clubs are more experienced in Europe than ours and their league is probably a little stronger. Differdange are European veterans, the present club and its antecedent "Red Boys Differdange" having campaigned on this stage over forty years. Bala will do well to keep the tie alive for the second leg, I feel. Although I'm always an advocate of having a go and not showing too much respect - in view of the heat (still 36 degrees at 7pm, kick off time) the Welsh side need to keep things tight early on to settle into the game.
Two weeks after the final act of the 2014-15 Welsh season - the promotion play off in south Wales - the curtain went up on the 2015-16 season with the much-awaited UEFA Champions League and Europa League qualifying round draws. In between, in the absence of a proper close season, the summer solstice seemed to mark the changing of the football seasons too: as the days begin to shorten, thoughts turn to autumn and winter, but long before that we have some summer action in Europe coming up.
It's an unfortunate feature of the UEFA calendar that the smallest nations in its "family", those who contest these earliest rounds of the two cups, are given barely a week to plan the biggest games of their year, and arrange tricky overseas travel for parties of players and officials. UEFA can of course point to the six-figure distributions to all competing clubs as justification for the demands, but surely it's not unreasonable to ask for just another week or two between draw and action?
Fans too face the challenges of arranging trips into Europe at short-notice, so the days following the draws are typically involve a day or so of uncertainty about dates, venues and kick off times, followed by frantic searching for and booking the best travel options. It's only when all that is in place that we can start to assess our hopes and expectations for the four clubs representing us in Europe's premier club competitions.
THURSDAY 10th JULY: Park Avenue. Warm and sunny.
ABERYSTWYTH TOWN 0 DERRY CITY 5 (Europa League, 1st Qualifying Round, 2nd Leg)
Just like last week, the quest to watch a Welsh team representing their country means a long journey west, to a distant edge of the country from my midweek base in Birmingham. Actually, getting to Aberystwyth from Birmingham is a little bit easier than getting there from within Wales, certainly from home in Cardiff: I'm able to catch a lunchtime train that is heading all the way to the Cambrian coast, although for Aber there's a change of trains in Machynlleth.
And, also like last week, the train journey is one of the most scenic in Wales, through the gentle countryside of Mid Wales, then along the Dovey estuary and the coast to Aber. I don't think I'll ever be able to pass through the final stop, Borth, without thinking of the atmospheric Welsh police drama 'Hinterland' - its magnificent old railway station starred in one memorable episode of the recent series.
Arriving in Aberystwyth by late afternoon, there's time to drop my bags and go for a stroll around the town. The seafront and castle ruins are at their best in this glorious weather, and locals and visitors are enjoying the sun, the beach and ice-creams. Already around town it's easy to spot small knots of Derry fans, resplendent in their distinctive red and white candy-striped shirts. The more sedate of them are exploring Aberystwyth, but the noisiest have turned The Old Station Wetherspoons into an Irish bar for the afternoon; their singing causes a few worried glances from the mostly elderly locals and holidaymakers near the station. I doubt if many even realise there's a match tonight - when I checked into my hotel the owner had no idea.
Thursday 3rd July 2014, The Book People Stadium, Nantporth. Sun, wind and drizzle.
AIRBUS UK BROUGHTON 1 FH HAUGESUND 1 (UEFA Europa League 1st Qualifying Round, 1st Leg)
While most of the football world is watching and talking about the World Cup (although it's a non-match day in Brazil today), in a number of European football outposts the focus is on European competition. Three of our Welsh teams are in action tonight - Aberysywyth Town and Bangor City away and Airbus at home, although as the Broughton side cannot use their own Airfield ground, nor Wrexham's Racecourse, they're actually playing over 60 miles west of home, at Bangor's ground. Inconvenient for their supporters, and in fact for me too: the logistics of arranging trips to these games, at short notice, during the working week are bad enough, but Bangor is a long way both from home and work. Given more notice (longer between draw and games) I might have managed to arrange a trip to Derry for Aberystwyth's away leg, but Bangor's just about possible, by taking the afternoon off and making a hasty getaway after the game.

Chlamydia Home Test 2018
Be Quick In Testing Yourself For STDs
Why You Should Get Tested For STDs
Why You Should Get Tested For STDs
Written By Walter Leonard 2/26/18
Getting Tested for Chlamydia
The best way to find out if you have chlamydia or not is to get tested. In most cases, a urine test is all you need to find out if you have this disease or not. A urine test, (urinalysis and culture) works for both men and women. For this test, you receive a sterile container from the pathologist and you provide a urine sample. The medical laboratory expert observes the urine sample, carries out the relevant test and gives you an accurate result. In cases where an extra test is required, a high vaginal swab (for women) or a semen analysis and culture (for men) may help in the diagnosis of this STD. If the medical expert suspects you have the chlamydia bacterium in your throat or rectum, a throat swab or a culture of your rectum will confirm that you have the infection or dispel the doubts.
Other Sexually Transmitted Diseases
Other sexually transmitted diseases are gonorrhea, genital warts, genital herpes, syphilis, and HIV-AIDS. These diseases are spread by sexual intercourse so the best form of protection is mutual fidelity and safe sex habits. Using condoms reduces the chances of contracting sexually transmitted diseases but it does not offer 100% protection. The best defense against STDs is abstinence and mutual fidelity.
Final Word
If you suspect you have contracted a sexually transmitted disease, you should not live in denial and you should not carry out any self-medication experiments. Consult a competent medical authority, get tested and get treated. This is the only way to combat sexually transmitted diseases.
YIf you are a sexually active male or female, you should get tested for STDs often to ensure that you do not have any untreated sexually transmitted diseases. Now, some people wait until they have symptoms of STDs before they get tested but this is not a prudent policy because some sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are asymptomatic. This means that it is possible to have certain sexually transmitted diseases without any symptoms of these diseases. This is why it makes sense to get tested regularly if you are sexually active.
Understanding Sexually Transmitted Diseases
Sexually transmitted diseases are sometimes abbreviated to STDs. They are also referred to as sexually transmitted infections (STIs). These infections are usually spread by sexual activities including vaginal, oral and anal sex. Some examples of STDs are gonorrhea, chlamydia, genital herpes HIV-AIDS, and syphilis. Some of these infections have unmistakable symptoms but some present no symptoms at all.
Understanding Chlamydia
Chlamydia is relatively easy to diagnose, treat and cure. For all that, chlamydia is a dangerous sexually transmitted disease because many people with this disease do not have any obvious symptoms until the infection leads to serious damage. A bacteria causes chlamydia and this organism can live in the womb (uterus), throat, rectum, and eyes. In men, the bacterium can live in the rectum and may even get into the male reproductive system (testis). If left untreated, chlamydia can lead to serious complications including infertility in women and pain in the testicles (in men).

Good Luck
July 21, 2006
By NICHOLAS WADE
Researchers in Germany said Thursday that they planned to collaborate with an American company in an effort to reconstruct the genome of Neanderthals, the archaic human species that occupied Europe from 300,000 years ago to 30,000 years ago, until being displaced by modern humans.
Long a forlorn hope, the sequencing, or decoding, of Neanderthal DNA suddenly seems possible because of a combination of analytic work on ancient DNA by Svante Paabo, of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, and a new method of DNA sequencing developed by a Connecticut company, 454 Life Sciences.
The initial genome to be decoded comes from 45,000-year-old Neanderthal bones found in Croatia, though bones from other sites may be analyzed later. Because the genome must be kept in constant repair and starts to break up immediately after the death of the cell, the material surviving in Neanderthal bones exists in tiny fragments 100 or so DNA units in length. As it happens, this is just the length that works best with the 454 machine, which is also able to decode vast amounts of DNA at low cost.
Recovery of the Neanderthal genome, in whole or in part, would be invaluable for reconstructing many events in human prehistory and evolution. It would help address such questions as whether Neanderthals and humans interbred, whether the archaic humans had an articulate form of language, how the Neanderthal brain was constructed, if they had light or dark skin, and the total size of the Neanderthal population. [...]
95 percent of [DNA found] in the Neanderthal bones belongs to ancient bacteria, said Michael Egholm, a vice president of 454 Life Sciences. But bacterial sequences can be recognized and discarded, he said.
Because Neanderthal DNA is so scarce, Dr. Paabo and the 454 Life Science researchers developed their methods on ancient DNA from cave bears and mammoth. [...]
The first goal of the project will be to sequence three billion units of Neanderthal DNA, corresponding to the full length of the Neanderthal genome. This will require decoding 20 times as much DNA, because so much of the DNA in the Neanderthal bones belongs to bacteria.
Genomes usually must be decoded several times over to get a complete and accurate sequence, but the first three billion bases of Neanderthal should "hit all the essential differences," Dr. Egholm said. [...]
One of the most important results that researchers are hoping for is to discover, from a three-way comparison of chimp, human and Neanderthal DNA, which genes have made humans human. The chimp and human genomes differ at just 1 percent of the sites on their DNA. At this 1 percent, Neanderthals resemble humans at 96 percent of the sites, to judge from the preliminary work, and chimps at 4 percent. Analysis of these DNA sites, at which humans differ from the two other species, will help understand the evolution of specifically human traits "and perhaps even aspects of cognitive function," Dr. Paabo said.
The degree of resemblance between humans and Neanderthals is fiercely debated by archaeologists, and even issues like whether Neanderthals had language have not been resolved. Dr. Paabo believes that genetic analysis is the best hope of doing so. He has paid particular attention to a gene known as FOXP2, which from its mutated forms in people seems to be involved in several advanced aspects of language.
A longstanding dispute among archaeologists is whether the modern humans who first entered Europe 45,000 years ago, ultimately from Africa, interbred with the Neanderthals or forced them into extinction. [...]
Evidence from the human genome suggests some interbreeding with an archaic species, [says Bruce Lahn, a geneticist at the University of Chicago], which could have been Neanderthals or other early humans. [...]
Dr. Stephen O'Brien, a geneticist at the National Cancer Institute, said that having the Neanderthal genome would be "a very exciting prospect" because it would serve as a reference point for deciding which genes had been selected for in recent human evolution.
The chimpanzee, with which humans shared an ancestor who lived some five million years ago, is one such reference point but the Neanderthals, who split from the modern human lineage some 500,000 years ago, would provide a much more helpful signpost to recent evolutionary events, Dr. O'Brien said, like adaptations as modern humans dispersed from their African homeland and the genetic differences between the three major human ethnic groups of Africans, Asians and Europeans. [...]
If Dr. Paabo and 454 Life Sciences should succeed in reconstructing the entire Neanderthal genome, it might in theory be possible to bring the species back from extinction by inserting the Neanderthal genome into a human egg and having volunteers bear Neanderthal infants. This might be the best possible way of finding out what each Neanderthal gene does, but there would be daunting ethical problems in bringing a Neanderthal child into the world again.
Dr. Paabo said that he could not even imagine how such a project could be accomplished and that in any case ethical concerns "would totally preclude such an experiment."
I'm quite curious about what happened to the Neanderthals. Hopefully it was a "make love, not war" scenario, but based on human history, I don't think that that's likely.

Not really an american hero
This was a little something different this weekend. While most of the town was off watching the fireworks, my buddies and I took the time to see a movie. After weeks of seeing comedies and Transformers last week, we decided to change it up and see a historical drama/action film. Public Enemies is the movie based on the true story of one of America's most notorious criminals in the 30's John Dillinger. During the great depression, Dillinger and his associates pulled off many daring bank robberies, claiming they were only interested in taking the governments money. By traveling across state lines to commit these robberies, this led to the birth of the FBI. Before the police was helpless s their own jurisdiction ended at the state borders. Dillinger pulled off many stunts including talking openly to the media about the banks he hit to spending time in the Chicago police department while he was the most wanted man in America. Johnny Depp proves in this move why he is one of Hollywood's top actors. He is joined by the seemingly always working Christian Bale and many other notable actors. While the running time hits up to about 2 and a half hours, for me the movie flew by, keeping me entertained through out. I give Public Enemies a score on the Heath-meter of 9 out of 10.

Reading List: The Lord of the Silent Kingdom
This is the second in the Instrumentalities of the Night series by Glen Cook. I read the first one in the series a while back and was swayed over against my early misgivings. By the end of the first book, all the problems I was having had been eliminated. The amount of information you will have to retain is staggering to be able to keep up with this series. This book delves without warning right back into the mix. Having just read the first one a week or so ago, I had no trouble but someone who might take some time between these 2 books could easily find themselves lost until they remember everything. A refresher of the first one might still be required. What made the first book in this series great continues in this one. All the political intrigue between the leading nations and war is back. More of the world is opened in this one as our hero, Else/Piper is ordered by the religious leader in his country to take the army and begin a crusade. While in the midst of this campaign, our hero also has the task to survive as the creatures of the night and myth step up in their quest to destroy him. It is a lot of information to handle, but once you lose yourself in this story, it doesn't let go. I find myself now desperately waiting the next in this series. hopefully I wont have to wait very long. While Glen Cook's Black Company series is among my very favorite fiction, this series could easily find itself along side it in my tier of favorite series.

The worst thing I have ever seen.
Earlier today, While at Wal-Mart buying some much needed things, I took a plunge and bought Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li, newly released onto DVD. I have always been a big street fighter fan going back to the days of the original Street Fighter 2 arcade. I have played and almost own every incarnation of Street Fighter there has been. Street Fighter Alpha 3 is still among my top favorite games of all time. Street Fighter has always had great characters, plots and has a deep and strong central story. For some reason, Hollywood can't get that across in a feature film. Japan did it with an animated movie, which is the best incarnation of Street Fighter outside of the games. Even the comics (mostly) have done a great job telling the story. Hollywood has taken two stabs at it and has failed miserably both times. Whats worse is that they didn't gain any ground with this latest one. Its actually worse than the Jean Claude Van Damme version that came out almost 2 decades ago. How do you make a movie 20 years after another one and make it worse? I don't think that has ever been done before. What kills me is that this movie is about fighting and it is extremely boring. I fell asleep while fast forwarding to a fight scene. This whole movie is one big piece of crap. There is nothing good to say about this film at all. The story is incoherent, none of the actors do anything credible and that's sad based on some of the actors in this film, and the fight scenes are just ridiculous. Chris Klein puts on a hell of a razzie worthy performance in what has to be the worst acting I have ever seen in anything. Robin Shou gives him a run for his money on bad acting too, and most of the rest of the cast aren't too far behind him. This movie is just god awful. I don't think I could think of a word bad enough to compare this movie to. This film ranks up there with the Star Wars Holiday Special on how bad it is and I finished that movie without fast forwarding or falling asleep. I give Street Fighter: The legend of Chun Li a score on the Heath-meter of 0 out of 10. I felt like I had to give it a 1, but no its not even good enough to deserve that, so it gets a big ugly 0.

Hello all,
I hail from Sacramento, and I contribute to the California board everyonce in a great while.
I am coming to San Francisco for a concert this coming friday, and was thinking about trying Espetus, or, as a matter of fact, any other Rodizio / Churrascaria style place.
So... Any review of Espetus? Any thoughts?
In any case, if I don't hit Espetus, and want to get a great bite in the Market/Mission & 2nd to 12th area, what should I go out of my way to try?
Thank you in advance...

ACHS Member Societies Annual Report 2010-2011
Summary: Challenges to your society
active advisers advisors alumni campus caused challenge changes chapters collegiate committed communication continue declining decrease director eligibility enrollments faculty financial finding funds graduate honor institutions interest keeping leadership level locating maintaining members membership national number organization plan programs provide recruiting remain results retaining society sponsors students support transition university value
Students coming from family backgrounds which have no knowledge of honor societies and their value.
The ACHS brochure "Matter of Honor" is a very valuable tool. Is there any thought of printing it in Spanish and other languages?
Getting financial aid to pay for honor society dues. Some of our chapters already does this. Perhaps ACHS could explore how to accomplish this for all honor society students who receive financial aid.
" 1. Finding and keeping dedicated chapter advisers 2. Persuading college and university administrators of the value of Alpha Chi 3. Hiring a new executive director and accomplishing a smooth transition in leadership by summer 2012 "
" A challenge for Alpha Kappa Delta is identifying and retaining committed and competent chapter representatives (advisors). Another challenge is finding vehicles for investing AKD funds that are relatively safe but have a reasonable return. Another challenge is getting all chapters to comply with the IRS requirement of obtaining an Employer Identification Number (EIN). "
" Locating and keeping advisors Maintaining campus chapter effectiveness Securing institutional support for campus chapters "
" advisor turnover and transition predicting fellowship applications membership recruitment campus chapter effectiveness and visibility increased competition among bogus/internet only honor societies which dilute the value of honor societies "
" Chapters submitting Annual and Financial Reports Retaining chapter advisors Students submitting for Scholarships Recruiting students to run for National Officers "
" The challenges we are experiencing have to do with maintaining membership levels and financial security while keeping costs low for students. "
" Economic downturn has impacted the ASN annual fund. Communication with members as they become more mobile, less tied to land lines, and more interested in internet communications. "
" Cost containment and making sure BGS stays relevant to a new generation of students. creating opportunities for alumni members to participate with the organization and benefit from their lifetime membership. "
" Beta Kappa Chi Honor Society is faced with several challenges. a. Due to the economy, there is an expectation that memberships, such as these, will not be a priority to the student population. b. There is a need for our small organization to establish a way to reach new membership on-line. Records must be properly verified and a web system must be designed to receive funds in a timely manner. c. Funds must be acquired to pay for student travel to the annual conferences. This will increase membership and allow active results as outlined in the primary objectives of the organization. d. There must also be an increase in the number of advisors and sponsors on campuses to decrease the lag period created when another sponsors becomes ill or have retired. "
" As is the case with all, our most crucial challenge is maintaining our Society in the face of the current financial situations facing our nation and the world. "
" Continuing to remain in a dynamic, growth organizational mode; serving more members and chapters effectively without undue overhead costs; developing leaders for the profession reflective of a multicultural, diverse society; remaining relevant to members beyond graduation. "
" Declining number of chapters "
" Present challenge is managing 100% growth this year. Working with chapters who have become inactive to gain their reinvolvement. Sparking enthusiasm in Faculty Advisers as more benefits come into play. Staying within budget - doing more with the same dollars. Modifying procedures & terminology to embrace international community. "
" Obtaining new members. "
" At the present time and for the past several months, Epsilon Pi Tau does not have an Executive Director due to a retirement and other extenuating circumstances. The Board of Directors have prepared a job description for the Executive Director position, with $15,000 dollar stipend, that will be announced in the Fall/Winter EPT Preceptor. As a consideration in exploring international chapter options, The Board of Directors is discussing the dues structure for countries where our induction and dues may pose a significant barrier. The potential of South America and South Africa are two regions with severe economic conditions compared to the US economy. The Board is considering an exchange rate and the gross domestic product per capita for different countries, but there will be a minimum amount required regardless of the country. "
" Continued strong growth in a weakened economy. "
" Declining numbers of specialized programs Human Sciences units splitting into specialized programs in other colleges "
" Locating and keeping chapter advisers remains a major challenge. Although journalism/mass communication enrollments continue to increase, the number of available "traditional jobs" (e.g., newspaper and television reporting) is sharply in decline. The profession is changing and academic programs are revamping curricula and, in many ways, reinventing themselves. One of the ramifications of this for the Society is that it is becoming increasingly difficult to determine whether a unit applying for a chapter fits our criteria for membership. Simultaneously, these changes tend to attract proportionally fewer students with "traditional" journalism/mass communication motivations "
" 1) Keeping the chapters active 2) Recruiting new chapter sponsors "
" How to include graduate students in the honor society. Funding travel to national conventions. "
" The same challenges seem to be a part of our society each year. We struggle with getting good hands-on advisors. Because advising student organizations is not usually a part of the evaluation process on most campuses, faculty tend to avoid these responsibilities. We don't want advisors who won't meet with our chapters and work with the students. The economic challenges in society overall did not seem to affect membership this year. Also, we continue to find that it is hard to attract qualified males for our society, although a number of our chapters do have male presidents. "
" Keeping the pool of national leaders deep and broad. Expanding at an appropriate pace. Providing hands-on support for collegiate and alumni chapters. Solidifying connections with university administrators who can provide advice, support, guidance and eligibility verification for collegiate chapters Keeping alumni engaged "
" * MKT's challenges are mainly administrative in that we rely heavily on faculty members to sign off on student eligibility. They are very busy which results in them not using MKT-approved forms for submitting their nominees to us. By using forms other than what we provide them results in an inefficient turnaround time to get them their membership certificates and pins. * Also, faculty time commitments also result in late (or no) submissions. Email and phone call reminders aren't always effective as nominations come at the end of each academic term when grades are due. "
" Lack of support from ROTC commands of the services. All staff is based on volunteers; the alumni association was established to identify more individuals to help build the Society. "
" Diversifying revenue to offer more scholarships to our members. "
" Our primary challenge is communication with the chapters and recruitment of faculty advisers. Our secondary challenge is enrollments in the society (declining) "
" Operations research is academically studied more at the graduate level than at the undergraduate level, and graduate students are less enthusiastic about honor societies than undergraduate students. It has thus been difficult to establish chapters at some of the best universities where the study of operations research is mainly at the graduate level. At the undergraduate level, the existence of Alpha Pi Mu chapters in a number of industrial engineering programs decreases interest in establishing chapters of Omega Rho, since operations research is part of an industrial engineering curriculum. "
" Maintaining activity of all chapters. "
" Retaining/identifying Chapter Advisors. Society budget. "
" Maintaining attentive advisors to promote local chapters. Keeping members after the initial three-year period. "
" One main challenge is to encourage chapters to remain active. Since chapters are often small (philosophy programs are often small), a committed advisor is essential to keeping the chapter active and operating. Advisors are essential to encouraging students to plan and execute various activities. Usually a junior faculty member is assigned the role of advisor; this means that there is quite a lot of advisor turnover, and the advisors often have heavy demands placed upon them for publication and tenure. "
" Replacing retiring Chapter Advisors Institutional Support from Honor Societies Restructuring of Colleges within Institutions "
" Making sure that our chapters remain active. "
" Chapter sponsor retention Impact of the economy on memberships Reactivating chapters "
" We need to develop ways to establish communication with the membership. Membership in PKL is a lifetime membership, so there has been no means for tracking or communicating with members who are not actively involved as faculty in the chapters. "
" Losing business education programs at major universities across the country has caused chapters to go inactive and that in turn causes declining membership. "
" Maintaining student interest and initiations; maintaining eligibility standards at chapter level; keeping advisors engaged and active. "
" Budgets Scholarship and fundraising Communications with chapters "
" Maintaining closer contact with our members and faculty sponsors. "
" Advising chapters on eligibility of students in satellite and online campus subcategories Assessing the major requirements and quality of university psychology programs in other countries compared to the US Monitoring social media and use of Psi Chi's logo and name. "
" Dynamic changes in educational environment; particularly on-line schools and accelerated adult programs Automating membership database info input How to automate online schools application and payment How to streamline Bloomberg BusinessWeek membership name/address process "
" Chapter reactivation, attracting and retaining committed chapter advisers, convincing institutions that maintaining an active chapter benefits everyone, informing prospective members of our numerous membership benefits. "
" membership recruitment locating and keeping advisors long-range or strategic planning "
" Motivating active chapter advisors, who are rarely rewarded by their institutions Finding more ways to engage alumni with current chapter activities Apart from chapters with exceptional advisors, there are difficulties with the succession of motivated student leadership. This is evidenced by chapter activity rising for a 3-5 year period and then fading away for an unpredictable length of time. "
" Chartering new chapters and reaching more members. Maintaining regular communication with our growing and changing membership, including international chapters. "
" membership retention, involvement of new/younger members, activity of chapters "
" Technical Institutes, Community Colleges not offering Engineering Technology Degrees - Chapters going Inactive Getting Chapter Advisors interested/involved Getting BOD involvement "
" Inflation. General societal lack of interest in honor societies. Competition for students time and energy. Lack of uniformity when enforcing Buckley Amendment. Recession and its effects on our invested trust. Multifiling state charitable registration requirements for TBP Alumnus Giving Program. "
" recruiting and maintaining effective Board of Directors, particularly in a period of growth. "
" Improve our financial resources; find a way to enhance the number of UPE membership acceptances by students who qualify for UPE membership. Figure out a way to determine the eligibility and viability of starting UPE chapters in schools that are primarily online. "
