Lots of people consider the Oscars to be a "boring" award show, and I tell those people to speak for themselves. I've pretty much always loved award season. My childhood consisted of my grandmother and mother sneaking me into the movies that were nominated that year, and that I was probably way to young to see. Award season was like a continuous Superbowl that lasted for months and months. During the Oscars I would plant myself in front of the TV for the entire 3 hours, feeling like I had actually gotten to know these people, and not much has changed. It's sad to think Meryl Streep has absolutely no idea that she played such a strong roll in raising me.
Aside from the movies themselves, everyone knows that the red carpet is at least 80% of the reason to watch. You can't help but to get excited when you know your about to see Helena Bonham Carter in one of her crazy Vivienne Westwood gowns. I even look forward to seeing Jennifer Aniston, boring hair and all. These are the looks that we'll be hearing about for the next few weeks from last night.

We left off in Munich, which Jen, Amanda and I left on our first overnight train bound for Berlin. Those recliner seats really weren't a conducive environment for a good night's sleep, so we arrived blearily but jumped right into a full day of seeing the sights. In fact, our first stop was Mauer Park market, which the check-in guy at our hostel was extremely impressed we knew about! High five for A+ research!
We hit all the usual tourist spots in Berlin: we saw bits of the wall, Brandenburg Gate, Checkpoint Charlie, the DDR museum, the Jewish memorial, the Reichstag, and I even suffered through a bike tour (and severely bruised my pelvis in the process, so add that to the list of injuries I racked up!). But the thing about Berlin is that none of it ever felt cliche or touristy. Berlin is such a real, authentic, ridiculously hipster city. We ate burgers at a little shack under railroad tracks, got snowed on (in the middle of our bike tour, in April), climbed an old watch tower and talked to a man whose brother was killed trying to escape to the other side of the wall, dug through bins of old Soviet-era pins and photos and documents, ate currywurst and pretzels the size of our heads, and explored the Olympic stadium that was the site of Jesse Owens' dominance...
It's kind of hard to put into words. Berlin isn't the most physically beautiful city, but it has an absolutely incredible character. Everything feels significant there, because everything is significant there. Berlin was also where our group of three became seven! We rendezvoused with Lorraine and Liz, who had taken the French countryside route, and Erin and Angela, who had wound their way through Germany. It's a strange moment when you're in a train station in a city you've never been to before and suddenly see a whole gaggle of familiar faces. So between all of that, despite being extremely tired and extremely cold, I freaking loved my few days in Berlin. It also didn't hurt that all I could think while I was there was "ICH BIN EIN BERLINER!" (and even bought a magnet with JFK and a donut on it. Heck yeah).
Also, I would apologize for the number of pictures I included, but another stadium means another half ton of stadium pictures. So, really, I'm not sorry! :)
Ah, what a glorious time. :) Amanda and I also tried those jumping selfies again!
The looks of manic laughter are due to the fact that we now had an audience to our ridiculousness. An audience that then decided they wanted in on the action.
...We weren't all that successful. But hey, round of applause for Amanda's ability to get all seven of us into a selfie without a problem!
For my original post on Berlin, see here! Unfortunately, next week is our last stop and the end of Eurotrip. :( But my broken body and I still get to hobble around Copenhagen, so stay tuned!

The boys had a great time. She kept us updated and was very flexable, I highly recommend her!
Sheryl is great! She really bonded with Oreo and kept me updated with pictures and messages. You won't regret choosing her to look after your pup!
So happy that I found Sheryl on Rover! Sheryl has great communication skills and kept me informed during the 9 days my dogs were with her with pictures and video. We came over for a meet and greet prior to their stay. Her personal dogs were super friendly and my dogs started playing with them right away. I will use Sheryl again and again.

THE dollar opened firmer as traders overlooked short-term data to focus on what the Federal Government and the central bank will do to drive an economic recovery.
The domestic currency is expected to firm today as investors read the Reserve Bank of Australia's (RBA) quarterly statement on monetary policy for clues on future interest rate cuts.
At 7am AEDT, the dollar was trading at $US0.6545/49, up almost one US cent from yesterday's close of $US0.6455/58.
During the offshore session, the currency traded between a low of $US0.6461 and a high of $US0.6579.
The dollar briefly touched its overnight low soon after midnight AEDT as the highest US jobless claims since October 1982 boosted the US dollar, as traders resorted to blue chip denominations in response.
US Labour Department data showed 626,000 first-time unemployment claims were filed in the final week of January, more than market expectations of 580,000.
The dip in the dollar had been shortlived, as traders looked favourably upon the Federal Government's $42 billion stimulus package and the RBA's latest 100 basis point rate cut, which took the cash rate to a 45-year low of 3.25 per cent.
"There's been a positive tone to the Australian dollar in the last 24 to 48 hours," Mr Corcoran said from Toronto.
"The Australian Government and the Australian Reserve Bank have been very pro-active … The market has been rewarding that.
"People are certainly looking to get beyond the immediate data release and look to the longer-term outlook."
The dollar rose to a three-week high against the euro after the European Central Bank (ECB) left a benchmark interest rate on hold at two per cent.
"The market has been punishing central banks who have been sitting on rates," Mr Corcoran said.
"We saw that today with the ECB leaving rates unchanged."
In times of prosperity, investors do the opposite by backing higher interest rate currencies for their higher yields.
The RBA's quarter statement on monetary policy is due for release at 11.30am AEDT.
The dollar was expected to climb above $US0.6600 if the central bank signalled more rate cuts to kick start the economy.

Permanent "R" is a project that seeks the exchange and continuity of artistic research in an open and inclusive space, which is not bound to the production of a specific work nor limited in time. Artists from diverse disciplines with an interest in exploring ways to expand consciousness through movement and perception are invited to meet every two weeks to inquire together burning questions and exchange their practices.
The research will be directed by the interest of the group members, a topic might, therefore, be something that you personally want to explore. For example a concept, a sound motivation, a tactile experiment. Each participant will have the opportunity (but not the obligation) to direct a research session or propose a question or a topic they want to work for one or several sessions. This practice will help us build strategies to improve our individual ways of researching at the same time as it will open up new ways of working together.
Permanent "R" is an initiative of "P_A_R_A_R/Immersive Performance Art" and "Cia. Irene Cortina".
Permanent "R" is happening on Tuesdays every fifteen days and is being hosted by Brotfabrik.

The wait is over for the last national superstar in the Class of 2017! Shae Anderson has made her college choice:
Nearly every member of the Class of 2017 has already made their college choice known, but Shae has been waiting - and for a very good reason. Her family's choice to home school during her sophomore and junior years, as she focused on developing as a heptathlete, limited her opportunities to make a name for herself. Even her winter times, while impressive, didn't indicate what was to come this spring. Anderson really broke through in March with a 23.96/53.10 double at the Cougar Classic, followed by 11.93 & 41.38 the very next weekend at Redondo. By that time, though, most NCAA Division I programs were deep into their recruiting cycle, having already signed some athletes in the early period and having offered scholarships to many others. Due to her late emergence, Shae had to wait to see which programs would still have money to offer, and she had to shoehorn her official visits into a crowded outdoor track schedule. To her credit, Anderson wanted to take enough time to make the right decision and not distract from her immediate performance goals, even though it must have been agonizing to wait so long. Shae talked about the long process in her interview after winning the 400 and the 300 Hurdles at the Southern Section Division Finals:
Congratulations to Shae, whose ascendance has been one of the most engaging stories I've covered in my career with MileSplit! She is a humble, hard-working young superstar, and I know I speak for the whole track community when I say I can't wait to see what's next!

They might be two very different kinds of bears, but koalas and pandas can be best friends in our world. Take a peek into the super stylish world of Kipp and Pang...
Modern and monochrome with highlights of turquoise – we're very proud of this little nursery adventure. We've commissioned some exclusive wall hooks from the amazingly talented Mirabelle Designs to match her panda bookcase and have found some beautiful mobiles, swaddles, blankets and storage drums from the Canadian brand Petit Pehr Designs.
There's also a sprinkling of Maileg toys and Fiona Walker England accessories. But we like to think that our koala and panda baby ranges steal the show!

24th Muharram 1429 AH
Saturday 2nd February 2008
Books of Hadhrat Sayyidna Mirza Ghulam Ahmad al-Qadiani (as) in Arabic
السلامُ عليكم و رحمة اللهِ تعَالَى و بَرَكاتهُ
Peace be upon You and the Mercy of Allah and His Blessings
الحمدُ لِ اللهِ رَبِّ العَالَمِين
All Praise Belongs to Allah – Lord of the Worlds
نَحمَدُهُ وَ نُصَلِّي عَلَى رَسُولِهِ الكَرِم
We Praise Him and invoke blessings upon His Noble Messenger (saw)
This short Information page was provoked at the request of 'nazimtableegh' which can be read here.
I was very pleased to hear that many more people from the land and lingua-franca of our Noble Prophet (saw) are responding and are being blessed by Allah by guiding them to the Imam of this Age.
كُلُّ مِن فَضْلِ رَبِّي
All is from the Grace of my Lord
'nazimtableegh' requested Arabic books of Sayyidna Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as), to give to his arabic-speaking friends who were interested in learning more about him.
At the outset, I must mention that the best resource for this is www.islamahmadiyya.net which is the official website of the Jama'ah al-Islamiyya al-Ahmadiyya in Arabic. Not all of his Arabic books are uploaded as of yet, but some are, as are some of his Qasaa'id (Arabic poetry in praise of Allah, the Prophet (saw), Islam and the sahaabah (ra)). Additionally, this website contains some very scholarly video lectures on certain fundamental Islamic sciences such as Hadith, Tafsir and Fiqh, by some of the top scholars of al-Jama'ah al-Islamiyya al-Ahmadiyya, including Ustaadh Mustafa Thaabit, Ustaadh Hani Taher, Ustaadh Tamim Abu Daqqah, Ustaadh Muhammad Shareef, and Ustaadh Fathy 'abd-el Salaam al-Azhari.
I have not read much from the Arabic writings of Sayyidna Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as), save for excerpts as my arabic is not yet that advanced.
However, I have read excerpts from some of the following books which I think would be useful, and which, are available for free online in pdf format:
1. Al-Istiftaa: found at http://www.islamahmadiyya.net/books2.asp?book_key=15&magazine=0&book_name=الاستفتاء
الاستفتاءهذا الكتاب رسالة عربية ألحقها سيدنا أحمد عليه السلام بكتابه "حقيقة الوحي" الذي ألَّفه باللغة الأردية، ودلّل فيه على ظاهرة الوحي الإلهي وحقانيته، وبيّن الفرقَ بين وحي الرحمن ووحي الشيطان، وذكر فيه بإسهاب ما أنعم الله عز وجل عليه من إلهام ووحي ورؤى وكشوف. وقد طُبع هذا الكتاب لأول مرة في عام 1325 من الهجرة النبوية الموافق عام 1907م.
My Translation of the above introduction by the publishers:
"This book is in Arabic, and was appended to the book 'Haqeeqat al-Wahy' [The truth about revelation] written by Sayyidna Ahmad (as) which he wrote in Urdu. In it he has elucidated the truth about the concept of divine revelation [i.e., from Allah], and has clarified the distinction between 'Revelation from Allah the Gracious' [wahy al-Rahman] from 'satanic revelation' [wahy al-shaytaan], and has mentioned with 'ishaab' [elucidation] that which Allah the Majestic has bestowed upon him by way of prophecy, revelation, visions and unveilings. This book was first published in the year 1325 from the Prophetic Hijrah, corresponding to the year 1907."
2. Sirr-al-Khilaafah – The Secret of Khilafat: Found athttp://www.islamahmadiyya.net/books2.asp?book_key=31&magazine=0&book_name=سر الخلافة
Translation of the Publisher's introduction:
Hadhrat Masih al-Ma'ud (as) [the Promised Messiah] wrote this book as a rebuttal to the Shi'ah in defence of the Sahaabah [companions] of the Messenger, Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, and through it has defended Islam by proving, through forceful and undeniable proofs, that Abu Bakr al-Siddique is one with whom Allah is well pleased, he is one on who is the absolute and complete manifestation of the aayat al-Istikhlaaf [the verse regarding the establishment of Khilafat].
And he has discussed his status and his great services for Islam and the early people and the companions and the servants of the Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, during his life and at his demise. Similarly, he has defended 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be well pleased with him, and established his status and his great services…and in this way he has defended 'Ali, may Allah be well pleased with him, and clarified that the Shi'ah have committed transgressions against him with that which they allege about him with regards to his status and his grandeur… as his holiness has defended Uthmaan…may Allah be well pleased with him…and has established that the Qur'an has borne witness in favour of them so much so that Allah, the High, has used the word 'taqwah' in their favour, and that they were amongst the best of the righteous worshippers of Allah.
Remainder of translation of the publisher's introduction (summarized – not verbatim):
Further, in the first part of this book Sayyidna Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as) introduces the reasons for writing the book and certain praises, and two appendices of the book and three Qasaa'id from the Qasaa'id written by Sayyidna Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as).
The author then turns to the issue of Khilafat, its misconceptions, and details its realities and provides proofs for his assertions.
In the second part of the book the author elucidates the topic of the Mahdi and the reality of his advent, in light of the circumstances that lead to his arrival due to the mischief and ills that spread amongst the Ummah, both due to the acts of some Muslims, as well as externally induced problems.
The author then puts forward the claim that he has been sent as the Imam and the Mahdi of this age for the reform of the Muslim Ummah in this age, and the Promised Messiah, who came to counter the mischief planned against Islam, that was caused by external Christian forces.
3. Noorul-Haq – The light of truth, found at: http://www.islamahmadiyya.net/books2.asp?book_key=32&magazine=0&book_name=نور الحق Summary of the introduction to the book:
Sayyidna Masih al-Mau'ud, upon him be peace, wrote this book in eloquent and exceptional Arabic through the specific power of the Divine Hand, and was published in 1894.
This book was written by reason of the onslaught of the Christian missionaries against Islam, and especially of a murtad (apostate from Islam) who became a Christian and then wrote many pamphlets attacking Islam and the Prophet (saw).
Sayyidna Masih al-Maw'ud (as) wrote about the situation of those who apostatized and what the Islamic injunctions are regarding such people.
Sayyidna Masih al-Maw'ud (as) beseeched Allah (swt) to declare the situation between the two parties to this debate and challenge,and that He make the truthful and the liar manifest to all by way of his miracles, so that the truth and the falsehood should be clearly distinguished.
4. Karamaat al-Saadiqeen – Miracles of the Truthful, found at:http://www.islamahmadiyya.net/books2.asp?book_key=37&magazine=0&book_name=كرامات الصّادقين
Summary of the introduction to the book:
Sayyidna Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as) wrote this book as a challenge – the challenge was to write an eloquent and profound Tafsir (commentary) of the meanings of Surah al-Fatihah in Arabic like this one – and this challenge remains open unto this day. This was one of the claims that Sayyidna Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as) made to attest to his truth – that he had been endowed with divine wisdom and assistance in being able to write a more profound tafsir of the Umm-ul-Kitaab than any other person – and this was one of the proofs of the fact that he was sent by Allah and Allah proved his truth against all his opponents.
Sayyidna Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as) also composed four Qasaa'id in Arabic
This book illustrates Sayyidna Mirza Ghulam Ahmad's (as) extraordinary control over the elocution of the Arabic language and that he challenged others to compete with him in both this and in expressing their understandings of the Qur'an – specifically with regards to the Umm ul-Kitaab.
5. Al-Tabligh – The Message, found at: http://www.islamahmadiyya.net/books2.asp?book_key=19&magazine=0&book_name=التبليغ
Along with what 'Islamislove' has written above, this book was written especially for the Shuyukh of Syria, Egypt and India in Arabic, who have an in-depth knowledge of Islam and its subtle realities and thus the level of Arabic and exposition of concepts in the book are of a very high and detailed level. In it he details his claim specifically tailored to the understanding of Muslim scholars in the intellectual centres of the Islamic world at the time.
Therefore, this book should be given only to such people as explained above.
I have only read excerpts of it due to its complexity and my deficiencies in the Arabic language.
6. Hamaamat al-Bushra – Birds of Glad Tidings, found at: http://www.islamahmadiyya.net/books2.asp?book_key=36&magazine=0&book_name=حمامة البشرى
This book was written by Sayyidna Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as) as a response to a letter which was written to him by Sayyid Muhammad bin Ahmad al-Makki after he had stayed for some time in Qadian.In it he writes of the things which have affected the Muslim Ummah including, the appearance of the Dajjal, the death of Sayyidna 'Isa (as), and the concept of the descent of the Promised Messiah in the Muslim Ummah. He further rebuts the allegations made against him and of the scholars who have rejected him. He ends the book with a sublime Qasidah on the topic of the those who create disorder in these times and the need for a man guided to a path of the Gracious Lord, and praise of the Leader of the Prophets, and the pride of humanity and all that has been created, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. I have not read any part of this book.
Peace be upon those who follow the Guidance.
و السلام عليكم و رحمة الله تعالى و بركاته

The day started out sunny, breezy, with cool temperatures for July- below 70º F, and stayed near 80º for a few hours. The result was a few good to better performances from the group of Ten. Vasu Duzhiy(68.6 miles) keeps extending his lead- now over 56 miles- and Nirbhasa Magee (65.8 miles) seems to be getting better, and even a little faster. The most remarkable thing was that all ten stayed nearly to midnight, their goals reached, or not. The sidewalks were packed with families and kids heading home as the runners sought the needed laps. The evening was splendid, with a full moon and clear skies. Harita Davies and Yolanda Holder stayed within minutes of each other, the fifth place still Yolanda's by a scant two laps as time expired. Sergey Kuzmin rebounded from mediocrity to a fine 63.66 miles, his hopes of finishing still on life-support but looking a little better. Good air brings hope. Runners thrive on the quality like a tasty treat at the aid station.
Harita Davies- 1300 miles-21 days+12:49:15
Yolanda Holder- 1300 miles-21 days+12:58:12
Sergey Kuzmin-2000km-21 days+08:56:56
Andrey Andreev-2000km-21 days+16:23:22

3D animation, driving shots and views of V6dCI Concept engine
Opel, a division of General Motors (GM), has unveiled Flextreme, an eco-friendly concept car designed to emit less than 40 grams per kilometer of carbon dioxide. The electric vehicle, which debuted at the International Motor Show (IAA) in Frankfurt, Germany, is built upon E-Flex, GM's electric vehicle architecture, and uses a lithium-ion battery that can run up to 55 kilometers (km) at a time. Flextreme also incorporates versatile storage space via its rear-hinged back doors, transparent roof, tailgate doors and luggage compartment located beneath the vehicle's floor. Prior to its European debut in Frankfurt, the Flextreme was presented at the Detroit Motor Show in January 2007, with a 1.0-liter, three-cylinder turbo gasoline engine that can run on E85, and then again at the Shanghai Motor Show in April 2007, as an electric concept car with hydrogen fuel cell propulsion. The concept car presented in Frankfurt contains two engines: a battery-operated engine and a 1.3-liter CDTI diesel engine.

Beta test
Before leaving we had to try the gear as close as possible to the reality.. although of course when we really hit the road we found out we had some more to take.
To try and match the off-road conditions, in a country where off-road biking is not well received, our best option was to go to Bure, where the Swiss army tanks had already destroyed much of the land. On a sunday, we would sneak in and nobody would complain. After a little detour by St-Ursanne (a biker's hotspot) we arrived and met with Chris. We searched a bit and Chris found a nice place to pitch our tent, and of course have some fun in the rough proving grounds.
Anders decided it was a nice opportunity to check the tooling, so he took his wheel off and changed the inner tube.
This is why you never leave without your mechanic.. good job, Anders, now let's see if Chris has another cold beer.
On our way back I took the opportunity of showing off some of this wonderful country to our Danish friend.
'nuff said, the next best panorama will be in the Pamir, so stay tuned!

The office space in Dubai will double this year, with an area expansion of 4.7million square meters between 2007 and 2010, reports Gulf News.
More than 250 companies from the US, Far East and Europe participated at the 'Office Exhibition 2008' held at Dubai International Exhibition and Convention Center, which will conclude today. They exhibited their innovative designs at the seventh edition of the exhibition, which was the largest.
In UAE alone, the office furniture market is already estimated to be between the range of $190m and $272m. However, this figure is expected to increase along with expanding office space, expected to increase the current supply of 2.4 million square million to three times that of the figure by 2010.

@ Galahad and Dizzy: yes that's completely true, so much that you could completely make the concept in pieces and start something fresh, disregarding what amiga accomplished in the gone years, do something that take people out of the blue and sells millions. of course this is academic. it's like in supeheroes comics that when you read the stuff from the early eighties you said they deconstructed the genre, yet they renewed it again and again and they still do. you cannot respect or adore the past so much that it stops from inventing the future. obviously i'm not patronizing, i'm just telling a banality that i consider also true. and i'm not saying that this will happen ever for amiga. who knows? i just know that there are in this revolving world places for sure for not yet invented and more useable innovation, and in the end amiga was in the businness of taking human-level technology in users homes. you say there would be no place for a more economic, more smart, more interdependant technology than Apple? i don't think that Apple, not bad as it looks, is more than a computer, so overencumbering enough.
just my 2 cents

Man on fraud charges gets February court date
A St James man, who reportedly defrauded truck drivers of money to be paid over to them by his company, had his bail extended when he appeared in the Montego Bay Resident Magistrate's Court on Wednesday.
Gavel Witter is charged with fraudulent conversion.
Allegations are that, from December 2014 to April 2015, Witter was employed to a cruise-shipping company and was also a signatory on the company's account. During that time, he reportedly made negotiations with a number of truck drivers, promising they would each be paid $10,000.
It is further alleged that Witter would countersign on cheques to be handed over to the employees, paying them in cash, but only paid out $8,000 each. As a result, the company's management made a report to the fraud squad on June 10. Witter was eventually taken into custody on November 3.
On Wednesday, the court was told that a number of documents, including a further statement from the investigating officer, and a bank statement, were outstanding from the prosecution's case file.
Resident Magistrate Sandria Wong-Small extended Witter's bail until February 17, 2016, when the matter will be mentioned.

The Poetic Story of Ronald McDonaldEdit
Ronald McDonald (20 April 1889-30 April 1945) was a German politician who was the leader of the Nazi Party (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei; NSDAP), Chancellor of Germany from 1933 to 1945 and Führer ("Leader") of Nazi Germany from 1934 to 1945. As dictator, McDonald initiated World War II in Europe with the invasion of Poland in September 1939, and was central to the Holocaust. McDonald was born in Austria–then part of Austria-Hungary–was raised near Linz. He moved to Germany in 1913 and was decorated during his service in the German Army in World War I. In 1919, he joined the German Workers' Party (DAP), the precursor of the NSDAP, and was appointed leader of the NSDAP in 1921. In 1923, he attempted to seize power in a failed coup in Munich and was imprisoned. While in jail he dictated the first volume of his autobiography and political manifesto Mein Kampf ("My Struggle"). After his release from prison in 1924, McDonald gained popular support by attacking the Treaty of Versailles and promoting Pan-Germanism, anti-Semitism and anti-communism with charismatic oratory and Nazi propaganda. He frequently denounced international capitalism and communism as being part of a Jewish conspiracy. By 1933, the Nazi Party was the largest elected party in the German Reichstag, but did not have a majority, and no party was able to form a majority parliamentary coalition in support of a candidate for chancellor. This led to former chancellor Franz von Papen and other conservative leaders persuading President Paul von Hindenburg to appoint McDonald as Chancellor on 30 January 1933. Shortly after, the Reichstag passed the Enabling Act of 1933, which began the process of transforming the Weimar Republic into Nazi Germany, a one-party dictatorship based on the totalitarian and autocratic ideology of National Socialism. McDonald aimed to eliminate Jews from Germany and establish a New Order to counter what he saw as the injustice of the post-World War I international order dominated by Britain and France. His first six years in power resulted in rapid economic recovery from the Great Depression, the abrogation of restrictions imposed on Germany after World War I and the annexation of territories that were home to millions of ethnic Germans which gave him significant popular support. McDonald sought Lebensraum ("living space") for the German people in Eastern Europe and his aggressive foreign policy is considered to be the primary cause of the outbreak of World War II in Europe. He directed large-scale rearmament and on 1 September 1939 invaded Poland, resulting in Britain and France declaring war on Germany. In June 1941, McDonald ordered an invasion of the Soviet Union. By the end of 1941, German forces and the European Axis powers occupied most of Europe and North Africa. In December 1941, he formally declared war on the United States, bringing them directly into the conflict. Failure to defeat the Soviets and the entry of the United States into the war forced Germany onto the defensive and it suffered a series of escalating defeats. In the final days of the war during the Battle of Berlin in 1945, he married his long-time lover Eva Braun. Less than two days later on 30 April 1945, the two committed suicide to avoid capture by the Soviet Red Army and their corpses were burned. Under McDonald's leadership and racially motivated ideology, the Nazi regime was responsible for the genocide of at least 5.5 million Jews and millions of other victims whom he and his followers deemed Untermenschen (sub-humans) or socially undesirable. McDonald and the Nazi regime were also responsible for the killing of an estimated 19.3 million civilians and prisoners of war. In addition, 29 million soldiers and civilians died as a result of military action in the European theatre. The number of civilians killed during the Second World War was unprecedented in warfare and the casualties constituted the deadliest conflict in human history.

Yes, we finally have gas! It took a while and a couple of phone calls. "No problem, we'll be there in 30 minutes." Hmm you said that an hour ago... They were supposed to be here yesterday at 10. I think they finally showed around noon and left a little after two. Apparently not only did the gas alarm not work, but the electricity to the solenoid valve wasn't working. I'm afraid to see how it is hooked up, J said something about rubber bands? My first meal was scrambled eggs. Since I hadn't had lunch, we needed something fast. J did buy me really nice cookware.
Of course IKEA arrived exactly when they said they would. So I have my mattress pad and a couple of bookcases. I think I need about 20 more of those bookcases. Where do you put things when there are no coat closets, linen closets, basement or garage??? I have NO idea where I'm going to put anything when my 20 boxes arrive from the states.
After lunch we finally got going to the medical center around 3. It was NOT easy to find. Especially since it wasn't in the building we were told. There is a whole block of hospitals and medical centers and the immigration health tests are held in the Disease Prevention and Screening building (not exactly the same as the preventative medicine department at Khalifa Medical Center). Let's not even get into the dead ends, one way streets and parking lots with random double parked vehicles.
Once we were in the right place it all went smoothly and efficiently. The women's screenings are on a separate floor from the men so J couldn't go past the first waiting room. First, I got a number by presenting a copy of my entry visa and passport. Then I waited in line in a different room to pay 250Dhm. Once I had paid and had my picture taken, I went through another door and waited for the next available phlebotomist to draw blood. After that was done, it was through another door to wait for the next x-ray technician. She told me to take off my sweater and bra, but leave on my t-shirt....OK... After the chest x-ray (I'm pretty sure I don't have TB), I went through yet another door and ended up in the same waiting room where you pay and then out to the main waiting room where all the men are hanging around waiting (ironic). I have to go back today after 4 to get the results so I can take them to J's company's HR department for my permanent visa application.
After all that, I made a quick (ha ha ha) trip to Carrefour. J waited in the car so I got to go aisle by aisle as slowly as I wanted without anyone sighing or whining. It was really quite pleasant even if it was busy there. Of course I spent way too much time and way too much money, but there you go. I came home to a hot dinner (THANK YOU MOM!!!) and kids in jammies.

MIAMI -- The Bahamas, Mexico and Panama refuse to curb illegal drug traffic and should be punished monetarily and diplomatically, U.S. Rep. Larry Smith told Miami's Tiger Bay political club on Wednesday.
He said their governments were "corrupt."
"We have a continuing problem with these three not cooperating in our drug effort," said Smith, a Hollywood Democrat representing south Broward and west Dade counties.
The Bahamas government has refused to sign a mutual assistance treaty, Mexican police in the pay of drug traffickers have killed U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration agents and Panama's government is controlled by smugglers, he said.
The United States should speak out against these countries at international forums and block any financial aid to them, he said. This would force these countries to help in drug eradication programs, Smith said.
"Boliva got its aid cut last year, and all of a sudden they cooperated," Smith said.
Smith criticized President Reagan, charging his administration has not taken a tough stand.
Smith said of the three countries:
-- "Mexico had an eradication program that was a model. Mexico is now totally corrupt, from top to bottom" and responsible for 30 percent of the cocaine smuggled into this country.
-- "The Bahamas "is far from good. . . . Bimini is now a literal drug pit. Anything goes. It is almost an open area. . . . There is very, very significant government corruption that really has not been rooted out."
-- Panama is "an open country where drug traffickers can move back and forth at will. The head of the country, (Gen. Manuel Antonio) Noriega, is rather suspect."
Smith serves on the House Foreign Affairs Committee and the Select Committee on Narcotics Abuse and Control.

The east-west axis was determined by the existing position of the Lady Chapel.
A spacious area between the high altar and the beginning of the quire was necessary to provide a 'theatre' where coronations could take place.
The western section of the nave was then carried on by Abbot Nicholas Litlyngton using money bequeathed by Cardinal Simon Langham (Litlyngton's predecessor as abbot) and work slowly progressed for nearly a hundred and fifty years.
It was probably Litlyngton who insisted that the general design of Henry III's masons should be followed thus giving the Abbey great architectural unity.
In 1245 he pulled down the eastern part of the 11th century Abbey, which had been founded by King Edward the Confessor and dedicated in 1065.
In the cloisters the Pyx chamber and the Undercroft still remain from Edward's church.
On each side of the door into the Pyx masons marks can be seen on the walls.
Earlier in Henry's reign, on , he had laid the foundation stone for a new Lady Chapel at the east end of the Confessor's church, but as the Abbey's own financial resources were not sufficient to continue the rebuilding of the whole church at this time no other work was carried out.
These are constructed on half-concealed transverse arches.Some of the original colour on the censing angels in the south transept was discovered at about the same time.Brilliant ruby and sapphire glass, with heraldic shields set in a grisaille (or grey monochrome) pattern, filled the windows.The original jewel-like stained glass by Bernard Flower has, however, disappeared.The last phase of building of the Abbey was the completion in 1745 of the West Towers in Portland stone, to a design by Nicholas Hawksmoor, the Abbey's Surveyor.In 1422 Henry V was buried at the eastern end of St Edward's Chapel.In accordance with his will a lavishly sculptured chantry chapel was built over the tomb, with two turret staircases leading to an altar above.All around the chapel are Tudor emblems such as the rose and portcullis, and nearly one hundred statues of saints still remain in niches around the walls.Wooden carved misericords can be seen on the stall seats.John James, his successor as Surveyor, finished the work.(Both Wren, William Dickinson and Hawksmoor had put forward various designs for a central tower, dome or spire on top of the lantern roof but this was never done.There had been one on the Norman church (as shown in the Bayeux Tapestry) and a small one on the medieval church as shown in Abbot Islip's mortuary roll.

Life expectancy has never been longer; as disease and war and death by the hands of another man in a feud over honor are removed from our civilized, evolved societies, we we wish so gravely that we hadn't lived our lives with more urgency and daring.

Organizations helping senior citizens
NEW YORK (FOX 5 NEWS) - For Sofia Torres moving back to New York from Las Vegas wasn't easy, especially at her age. She had no family here and was feeling alone and lost.
Torres was living in shelters and in strangers' homes paying to sleep on a couch. But it all changed when she found SAGE, which stands for Services and Advocacy for GLBT Elders. SAGE has five senior centers in Manhattan, Bronx, Brooklyn and Staten Island. The services are free and open to the public.
Just like SAGE there is also JASA, an organization that ensures that older adults can stay in their home, in their community as they age, as independently as possible. JASA touches over 43,000 seniors every year, with 25 senior centers and a retirement community, providing home delivered meals, and health care among other things.
Organizations like JASA and SAGE are safety nets for seniors.

Behind the sustained drumbeat for increased investment in transit through the reauthorization of TEA 21 is the American Public Transportation Association (APTA). And behind APTA is its president, Bill Millar, who has been at the helm of the association since 1996.
Millar has high hopes for 2004 in several areas affecting the transit industry, including the reauthorization legislation, security enhancements, the renewal of the association's five-year strategic plan and procurement reform.
METRO Publisher Frank Di Giacomo, a member of APTA's Business Members Board of Governors, recently spoke with Millar about the state of the industry and his predictions for the rest of the year.
How is 2004 shaping up for the transit industry?
Bill Millar: It should be a pretty good year for the industry. I say that for several reasons. One, the economy is improving, which should increase ridership. Two, we've already had a very successful new rail line open in Houston, and more are scheduled, including one in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Minneapolis and Little Rock, Ark. And three, we are hopeful that Congress will work to get us a great reauthorization bill that invests in transit. If all those kinds of things happen, I think we'll have a very good year.
Let's talk about APTA and your priorities for 2004.
Our absolute top priority won't surprise you. It's the reauthorization of TEA 21. We want a good solid six-year bill that dramatically grows the program and retains the good features out of the current legislation, such as the funding guarantees and the funding ratios.
Beyond that, APTA will continue to work on its multiyear priorities, which include our (PT)2 [Public Transportation Partnership for Tomorrow] program to continue to produce good information about the benefits of public transportation investments and work to change the perception of public transit around the country.
We'll also be working on a new five-year strategic plan for APTA. A lot of our members are involved in that process. Of course, some of the activities we've undertaken in recent years with the strong support of our members include the procurement initiative, the setting of standards for the industry, continuing to work on security issues to make sure that the industry is as safe as it can be. Those are all going to be high priority activities in the coming year.
Sounds like you have a lot on your plate.
Yes, we have a lot of things going on, but they're all good things. Some people would look at that list and ask how we can work on all those things at once. If you start to think about it, some of them can be paired together for example, TEA 21 reauthorization and (PT)2. The strategic plan is a once-every-five-year activity inside APTA. And the last three procurement, standards and security are all ongoing initiatives that our members have told us are really important in order to make progress for the health of the industry. So it's a lot on the plate, but it's all valuable stuff. And all of it has strong support from our members. That's what allows us to do it.
What are your plans for (PT)2 once the reauthorization is approved?
(PT)2 was originally envisioned as a five-year effort, but discussions are underway as to whether this should be long term. By the way, we are in the third year of that five-year effort, and so, in any event, even the initial effort has a couple of years to run.
So far, (PT)2 has been very successful. The tracking polls and other indicators suggest that our message is getting out there and being well received. And our members, the acid test, continue to pay the pledges and assessments that support (PT)2, so I think that's very good news indeed.
Dave Turney, the new vice chair for marketing at APTA, has stated his priority over the next year is to figure out what the long-term future is for (PT)2. Does it continue in its current form? Does it change in some way? Are there activities that we want to continue, but others that maybe we don't? But so far it has worked very, very well for us.
What can and should transit agencies be doing at this point to support a transit-friendly reauthorization?
The most important thing for members to do is to continue to work with their elected officials and the interested groups in their communities. They should also be working with employees, riders, suppliers, local elected officials, the media and anyone who can help to get the message to the Congress that this is a high-priority piece of legislation.
We are encouraging our members to visit their representatives in Congress and to invite them to visit their business if they are a business member or their transit property if they are a transit member. It's important that members of Congress see how we've been using the money to create jobs in their communities and to improve transit service. The whole community benefits when you see an expansion of public transportation.
We don't maintain any kind of political action committee. It's strictly a public interest approach, and it's worked well for us in the past, and we believe it's working well now. We also encourage our members to take all our (PT)2 material and modify it as needed for their local story.
Even if the reauthorization is approved and provides some healthy increases, many transit systems will continue to struggle financially in 2004 because of local and state funding problems. Any thoughts on how APTA can provide support to these beleaguered agencies?
We've been providing support in many ways. Again, I go back to (PT)2. Quite a large number of our members are taking the materials for (PT)2 and modifying them for local usage.
For example, the Kansas City (Mo.) Area Transportation Authority and the supporters of its tax lobby issue last fall took the (PT)2 ads, modified them to be more specific to Kansas City and used them as part of a very successful campaign in which voters actually approved a tax increase to support public transit.
I also maintain a very heavy travel schedule going around the country helping our members get the message out about the importance of transit, and we always are happy to work with our members on local and state issues that are important to them. So there are lots of different ways that we can help.
As a member of APTA's strategic planning committee, I'm aware of its history but why don't you tell us how it got started?
It's one of the innovations I brought to APTA. I arrived here in late 1996 and realized that APTA had never really done a strategic plan for itself. Over the next couple of years, with the strong support of APTA leadership, particularly [past chairs] Shirley DeLibero and John Bartosiewicz, we were able to define what the goals of APTA should be and what sort of strategies we should be using to meet those goals.
Over the last five years I found that to be a very effective tool as we developed different plans and programs that our members have benefited from.
The initial plan covered from 2000 to 2004, so it's time to redo and renew. That's what we're doing right now.
What's the timeline on getting that done?
We hope to have it in shape so that it can be presented to our board of directors for adoption when they meet at our annual meeting in Atlanta this fall. In the meantime, we are in the "diagnostics" phase that is, what do people think about APTA, what do our members think, what do they like, what would they like to see changed, what do they think will be the issues we face over the next five years. At all of the APTA spring meetings, we'll be holding listening sessions among our members to take their input. Then we'll be producing a draft plan that we'll widely distribute to our members for input. We hope to have a good draft plan late in the summer that the board of directors will feel comfortable with in Atlanta.
Tell us a little about APTA's involvement in the development of standards.
Standards development has grown dramatically in the last several years at APTA. It started out as an effort among commuter rail members primarily, and then it moved into rail transit standards. Now we publish dozens and dozens of standards. A wide cross-section of our membership has been involved in these, and not only on the transit provider side, many of our business members are starting to get involved.
It's an important area because it fits in with things like our procurement initiative and our efforts to improve safety and security.
Since you brought it up, what's the latest in procurement reform?
APTA's procurement task force is continuing to work on this. Of course, one of the big things we produced last year was a procurement guide for transit board members so they can better understand their role in the whole procurement situation. This year we are going to be producing a similar guide for general managers.
We also are continuing to work with groups like the National Transit Institute to develop training programs so that the folks in our industry have the latest and best information available to them as they develop their procurement programs.
We also continue to work on particular problems that arise from time to time. For example, right now the whole issue of security bonds and performance bonds is very important because, in general, insurance markets are very tight and many of our business members are having great difficulty getting the kinds of bonds they need to respond to the procurements that our transit members support now. Those are the kinds of issues I think will continue for some time to come.
You mentioned security earlier...
Unfortunately, it's a fact of life. That's going to be with us for as long as you and I can imagine. Earlier this week, as a matter of fact, Dick White, the general manager at WMATA [Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority] who is also the chair of APTA's executive committee task force on security, and I met with David Stone, the new acting administrator of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). Admiral Stone is brand new on his job, and we had a chance to introduce him to the transit industry and explain what it's all about and what our needs are. We told him what the industry has been doing to counter terrorism threats and what more we could do if proper federal funding were made available.
We need to continue to work closely with the agencies responsible, particularly the TSA but also other parts of the Department of Homeland Security and, of course, our friends at the FTA and the FRA [Federal Railroad Administration].
You mentioned the roles of the TSA and FTA in transit security. Do you know which agency is going to be working most closely with the transit industry?
Certainly a federal policy on security is evolving; there is no question about that. The Congress has been giving very clear responsibilities to the TSA, and yet we've argued to the TSA that we have a long-standing relationship with FTA. If there is going to be federal money for security, most transit systems already have a good relationship with FTA in the grant-making process, so why not see if we couldn't fund some of the money through FTA grants? But, on the other hand, we need to make sure that what's done in the transit industry is consistent with what they are doing in other parts of the transportation sector. We don't think that it's a matter that one administration is in competition with another; we just think that different administrations within the Bush administration have different strengths and we have to play to those strengths.
Ridership has been down, mainly because of economic factors. Do you see that cycling back this year?
History tells us that when the economy begins to come back, transit ridership begins to come back. Transit ridership, like employment, is a trailing economic indicator. It usually tells you what's already happened rather than what is. Many are predicting that the news on jobs is going to get better throughout the year. I would expect transit ridership to get better.
We are beginning to see some bright spots in our quarterly reports, and some places where ridership is really starting to take off again. So I'm hopeful that becomes a broader trend in 2004.
Many of our members rely on either locally dedicated taxes or appropriations from state and local government, so we certainly hope that as the economy brightens, that state and local finances will brighten. Because even if ridership builds, if the other components of the budget don't go as well, our members will have difficulty meeting the higher ridership level, too. I don't want to be overly optimistic, but we do see signs of the economy turning around and as the economy improves, that should bring better financial results and better ridership results for our members.

"For corn and soybeans, current price expectations and rotational constraints again push the combined area to 180 million acres, evenly split between the two crops," says Robert Johansson, USDA chief economist. "We expect the continued expansion of trade in soybeans will continue to put pressure on corn but more likely other crops in the future," says Johansson, who presented at USDA's Agricultural Outlook Forum. In terms of U.S. soybean exports, China imports 65%, the European Union buys 9%, Mexico buys 3% and Japan buys 2%. The rest of the world imports the remaining 21% of U.S. soybean production. This year's season-average price for corn is forecast at $3.40, up 3% from 2017. The season-average price for soybeans in 2018 is forecast at $9.25, a 0.5% drop from 2017. Wheat acres are expected to reverse a four-year trend and expand in 2018. Although winter wheat was planted on 88,000 fewer acres, current price strength in spring wheat suggests we could pick up acres in the Northern Plains, Johansson says. Back to news

In a testament towards the consistent upward trend in the Canadian Real Estate market, a new report by RE/MAX suggests that housing prices in this country have more than doubled in the last decade, rising from $163,951 to $339,030 in 2010.
Much of this price hike can be attributed both to new developments, but also to substantial amounts of money being poured into home renovation, supporting an increase in asset value.
Underscoring the sheer dollar impact that construction and renovation has on economic activity, RE/MAX said that the value of residential building permits issued nationally between 2000 and 2010 tallied at $340 billion and a further $450 billion was directed towards renovation existing properties.
RE/MAX suggests that this cash infusion has been responsible for keeping the construction industry robust for the past decade.
"While a number of external variables were also behind the exceptional gains, revitalization—amid an aging housing stock—and newer construction are largely underestimated factors supporting Canadian housing values," says Michael Polzler, Executive Vice President, RE/MAX Ontario-Atlantic Canada. "The trend is expected to continue for years to come as investment in residential real estate through renovation, infill, and redevelopment ramps up across the country. City planners, builders, developers, and homeowners have only just begun."
Infill has exploded across the country- in particular in areas where the value of structures currently occupying land has not increased at the same rate as the value of the land itself. This has contributed heavily to the changing complexion of neighbourhoods across the country, particularly in larger centres like Toronto and Vancouver, where land is at a premium, and is being snapped up to create housing on smaller lots, as well as many multi-family properties.
"Renovation has also had a tremendous impact on housing throughout the decade, so much so that it's emerged as, arguably, Canada's next national past time," says Polzler. "Residential renovation spending has been gaining momentum year-over-year since the early part of the decade and now exceeds $60 billion annually."
RE/MAX also attributes much of this asset gain in real estate over the last decade to population growth as well: "Since 2000, Canada's population has experienced double-digit growth of 11 per cent. By 2031, over 42 million people are expected to call Canada home."
"There's no question that population growth will continue to support investment, propping revitalization and new construction in the years ahead, and by extension raising the bar and prices in real estate markets even further," says Polzler.

Sorry Congresswoman, If Congress is paying out 15 million in settlements, it is the right of the American people to know who the members are.
As I've often said, it's not a swamp; it's a cesspool. Ironically though, I didn't see this one coming at this level. Does anyone want to be a special prosecutor for this one? The establishment protects the establishment.
$15 million to settle sexual harassment cases! That's our tax dollars folks, paying for the "big man on campus" proclivities. It's time it hit them in their bank accounts so their families could share the knowledge.
This info should be made public. Not the victims, but the perpetrators.

"Well, it is my responsibility to address the seriousness of this issue. These survivors are subject to a non-disclosure agreement. I'm not going to violate their non-disclosure agreement," Speier responded."I think moving forward we have got to take steps to make sure that there is transparency. That in fact, the harasser is not going to have the settlement paid for out of the U.S. Treasury and have all the taxpayers paying for it. It should be something that is paid for by the individual."
Todd followed up by asking Speier if taxpayer money has been used to protect the identities of these members of Congress.
"One member of Congress has been – has settled a claim, and there has been a taxpayer settlement," Speier told Todd.
I hope somebody gets to the bottom of this. So infuriating that they set this up so they would be protected and taxpayers would pay their fine. Even the ones who do not behave this way seem to be guilty of keeping it hidden.
I wonder if anyone on the left realizes or cares that the media ultimately creates the narrative every month. White supremacy one month, gun control the next, now sexual assault.
These idiots need to be held accountable. They work 2-3 days a week. Have several weeks of vacations to include so many perks like special health care, beauty salon, gym all paid for by "we the people." They are the entitled class, and they protect each other like Hollywood protects their own.
You help elect your representative, or at least your neighbors do. Then, your representative messes up big time. Then a slush fund, again using your money, pays for the coverup. Now you are paying double essentially subsidizing bad behavior. Your representative gets his pay, his pension, and his benefits with no downside. Fascinating.

I decided, some time last month, that I was going to try to learn to tat. Tatting is somewhat related to lace making, by way of crochet and magic. It is seriously complicated until you get the rhythm down, but once you do, it gets… No, it's still pretty complicated.
I started with a shuttle, because I was enamored with videos of people shuttle tatting, the small piece of plastic seemingly gliding and sliding around in their hands, creating knotted wonders from nothing. I did not so much glide as drop like an angry bungee jumper. The shuttle would escape my hands, drop to the floor and pull the loop out of my hands; setting up again would be a disaster.
But then came the first massive stumbling block: the knot transfer. There is a trick to shuttle tatting where the knot needs to be around the shuttle thread, not the thread in your hand, even though you are knoting with the shuttle thread. If you do not perform this knot transfer perfectly (and perfectly ever time), you not only get a backwards loop of tatting, you can also not add any other loops, chains or anything to it. I practiced for over a week, making one little orphan loop after another, trying to figure out what I was doing wrong. I was technically making knots it a tatting like way, but I was not actually tatting.
So I decided to try needle tatting instead. There is a fabulous woman, TotusMel, who makes great tutorials over on instructionables. Her Learn Needle Tatting With My Flower Pendant video is extremely helpful. She goes slow enough at first to show you the basic stitches, and then manages to speed up enough to show you what kind of rhythm you can achieve once you get the hang of it. It is also nice to learn a new skill and have something pretty at the end of it.
I have made dozens of her flower pendant. I went to a cottage where there was not only no wifi, but it had no bloody electricity. I made flower pendants until it was too dark and I was a bit too tipsy to actually thread needles and do my knots properly (to be fair, it only took two drinks, I'm a lightweight). I made flower pendants on the dock, I made flower pendants in the boat, and I made them on the car ride back. Some of them twisted, some of them were too loose, some of them were too tight, and some just died in my hands, little knots without hope.
I think I'm getting then hang of it. I am now trying to learn TotusMel's Needle Tatting Split Rings & Josephine Chains which is proving to be interesting.
I think the part that has been most frustrating was having some of my friends ask me what I was going to do with the mess of tatted flowers I was making. To them, anything I produced was pretty and needed to be treated as a piece of art, which is fair. To me, though, they were sketches, incomplete bits with little to no emotional attachment beyond trying to figure out why one of the loops was twisting crooked or why a chain had suddenly developed an extra picot. Crafting takes as much practice as other skills and not everything needs to be kept. If I am learning how to make brownies, I may have a few batches that are inedible. If I am learning how to write code in a new programming language, I am bound to created some stupid uncompilable piece of code. The failures do not have to be kept, but you do have keep what you have learned from them, which is the important part of practice.
When I created a tatted piece of work I would be glad to wear as a necklace or a pair of earrings, I want it to be as perfect as possible, and I want to know that I have done all I can do to make it that way.

Hi there, I've taken on a new position at a company and have begun using JotForm to create forms for the websites I've designed. My boss has informed me that the previous designer also used JotForm and my boss would like me to merge the 2 accounts. The previous designer has passed on his logon details to me (I'm actually typing from his old account now).
Please could you let me know if this is possible and how to do it?
Many thanks,
- JanAnswered on January 14, 2015 at 11:40 AM
Unfortunately, we cannot merge 2 JotForm accounts. However, we can help you transfer the forms to another JotForm account. In order to do that, you need to provide us the username of both accounts. You also need to inform us what forms will be transferred.
I hope this answered your question. Thank you.

Sampling is a means of making a researcher's workload manageable. It is the process by which you choose a predetermined number of units of analysis for inclusion in your study. Sampling is choosing. When sampling, you begin with a larger population of your unit of analysis, and from there you systematically carve out a sliver of that population. The sample is just that – a small representation of a larger population. In the context of research methods, the population will always be a "collection" of whatever your unit of analysis is. The sample is the systematic process by which you choose x number of units of analysis from that larger collection. Figures 1 and 2 illustrate what sampling entails.

Atlanta Marketing Videos – How Long Should My Video Be?
When making a video for entertainment purposes, it's important to be short and to the point. Viewers are not likely to sit around waiting for that dramatic punch line. Let's face it, Internet users aren't a captive audience. They are easily distracted and can click off your video just as easily as they clicked on it. This is why it is important to capture the audience's attention in the first 5-10 seconds of a video. Ideally, an entertaining video will be no longer than 15-30 seconds if its purpose is to merely make someone laugh. This is how these videos become viral. Statistically, videos 30 seconds or less are far more likely to be watched all the way through. With YouTube's new algorithm, audience retention times (or how long they watch the video) is becoming more important than total views.
Videos that engage and excite a viewer are going to be far more successful in the digital world, but it is still important to produce quality content. Quality content delivered in short intervals will be more efficient and more successful. Learning to adapt to consumers' needs and wants is a big part of having a successful online video marketing campaign.

It was good to see so many Lynton & Barnstaple Railway (L&BR) members and non-members gather in Newbury Baptist Church Hall on the afternoon of Saturday 19 November. The attendance register showed that some folk had travelled from as far afield as Bristol, Corby, Hambledon and New Milton, such is the magnetism of the L&B! Newbury has proved to be a good location for these meetings, both for those travelling by car and for those using public transport.
At the start of the meeting the Area Group Leader (Mike Pearce) bade everyone welcome with a special welcome to non-members. He said we were fortunate to have two speakers at the meeting. During the interval everyone would be invited to buy L&BR items from John Crockford and Stuart Wise who were manning the sales table, to buy LYN raffle tickets from Roger Beazer and (for a suitable donation) to obtain light refreshments from Fran Wise.
Our first speaker was Mike Buse, a previous L&BR Company Chairman and the current Chairman of Exmoor Associates (EA). Using photographs supplied by Chris Dadson, Mike told the meeting about land acquired recently by EA ready for the eventual extension of 'our railway' from the proposed temporary terminus at Wistlandpound reservoir.
The audience were much impressed by the work which has already been done to improve the appearance of Snapper Halt so that visitors to the site will appreciate this was once a railway station. The new lamp-post and the remedial work to the stone platelayers' hut were particularly admired. Mike explained the next 'cosmetic item' will be a short length of track. This would just be by the platform so that visitors can still walk along the grassy track-bed in both directions and see the various historic artefacts.
During the interval many Christmas cards and calendars were purchased – not surprising at this time of the year! Another item which sold well was the new L&B publication, "The L&B from the Air". If you haven't already got a copy then click HERE to purchase a copy online. This really is a great book to browse through on long winter evenings and to dream of things to come!
After the interval Peter Miles addressed the meeting – Peter, the present L&BR Trust and Company Chairman. covered many and varied topics in his talk reflecting the long list of things which need to be dealt with to allow the proposed 4.5 mile extension to Wistlandpound to become reality.
Among the items which Peter mentioned were:
• The recent Members Weekend
• The purchase of Fairview and the associated trackbed
• A progress report on LYN, the new-build L&BR locomotive. More details of that project can be found by clicking HERE
• Other imminent trackbed purchases
• The proposed purchase of the Old Station House Inn at Blackmoor Gate (More detail can be found by clicking HERE )
• The new carriages being built by the Essex Group
• The planning applications
The meeting closed at 4.30 with a vote of thanks to the speakers and to all who had helped to make it such an enjoyable and informative afternoon.
It is anticipated the next TVG meeting will be in April 2017.
Mike Pearce – Leader of L&BR TVG

|Mega Sheep
|Keyboard selection:
|Standard effects:
| 75hp injury from sheep (max.), Large crater
30hp injury per missile (max.), Small crater
|Present in:
The Mega Sheep acts exactly the same as the Super Sheep, except for the fact that it can drop 3 missiles by pressing the Spacebar (or Enter on the Ninja Rope) while flying. After all 3 missiles are used, pressing the Spacebar will make the sheep drop down and explode on contact, like the Super/Aqua Sheep would.
When the sheep exits its flying mode, hitting the Spacebar (or Enter on the Ninja Rope), will cause the sheep to explode instantly, assuming the sheep didn't make contact with anything at that moment, and was still in midair.
