FINANCE Minister, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, yesterday alleged that the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) was full of corrupt practices.
FINANCE Minister, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, yesterday alleged that the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) was full of corrupt practices.
The minister spoke at the National Assembly on the invitation of the Senate Committee on Finance, where she explained the Federal Government's plan to engage Crown Agents of London to reform the Customs and Excise Department.
Okonjo-Iweala declared: "There has been a lot of corruption in NPA, but what you hear people say is that no funding, no funding. Once they say the Finance Ministry has not made funds available, everybody keeps quiet."
She added: "There was a time that only one crane was servicing the entire ports. One crane! Why one crane? Even if it was N20 that they got as funding for that period, what did they do with it? Why just one crane?
"All you hear people say is "bring money", "bring money", "bring money", money, money, money, but nobody is asking what they are doing with the money," she queried.
Asked who was responsible for supervising the NPA during the period in which corruption pervaded in the authority, Okonjo-Iweala, who burst into laugher said; "I don't know who was supervising it (NPA)."
Earlier, the minister had frowned at a question from Senator Farouk Bello-Bunza, who had asked why transparency "which you preach" was not followed in picking the Crown Agents of London for the reform of the Custom and Excise Department.
Okonjo-Iweala, who became agitated, said: "I must object to that hint of lack of the transparency we preach. I must take exceptions. There was nothing wrong in procedures followed and you can call."
She was however halted by the committee chairman, Senator Bob Effiong, who explained that there was no quarrel intended in the question by Bello-Bunza. But continuing, Okonjo-Iweala contended that, "when you say the transparency we preach, I must take exceptions. There was nothing hidden. When you have a specialised field, you are allowed to go straight and ask for proposals.
"The whole thing (proposals) have been submitted to due process. No information has been hidden. But who are those that don't want this reform? Why are there articles in the newspapers and everywhere on the Crown Agents of London? These are the questions we need to ask or is there anything wrong with contracting those who know how to assist us?
She however took time to explain the role which Crown Agents of London would play in the reform of the Customs and Excise Department, stressing that the group would ensure the training and strengthening of the department and not perform the job of Customs and Excise Department.
She explained that "the cost of project less fees" proposed by Crown Agents is $100m, adding that "this is a proposal but with the work of due process, this cost will come down. It's a sketchy proposal. We have fully recognised the problems of the Customs."
Bello-Bunza had described the plans of having Crown Agents of London to reform Customs Department as "noble," but added that "this does not prevent you from placing adverts to say we want to reform and we need experts to partner with us. That way, you would have followed the transparency which you preach. Why was the advert not placed? Why were Nigerians not informed about reforms," Bello-Bunza queried.

Why oh why?
Why does Paris Hilton have any kind of career? Why is she still on any sort of tv show? What did I do in this life to deserve this? I don't get it? I really don't. Yeah I saw her home movie. I didn't even think she was that good in that. Did you happen to see how bored she was in that? Then there was the Simple Life. Where she would go from her cutesy annoying baby doll voice to her husky I sound like a man voice. One of my friends made me watch the new abortion of a show called My New BFF. I wanted to kill myself after these losers in life tried to impress Paris. I don't know who was more pathetic, them for being on the show or me for watching it. I think I might have lost more brain cells watching that show then all the drinking I have done in my life. Please someone give me those precious minutes back that I wasted watching that living knock off Barbie doll and her wannabe Midges. I really can't stand celebrities with no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

A few days ago, I got into somewhat of a Twitter disagreement with one of the OCP composers, Ken Canedo, who is, from what I understand, responsible for the Spirit and Song collection. I regret that I used the term "wrecking ball" when referencing the composition. Mr. Canedo took exception to it, saying that I was "nasty"; however, when I sent him subsequent tweets and links to the blog (with citations from the authoritative documents of the Holy See to back my points) to better explain my position, he never responded.
I certainly do not want to engage in a Twitter battle with him nor anyone else; however, if we confine our arguments to simple expressions of feelings and sentiments without stepping back and examining the bigger picture, then we cannot engage in any kind of a dialogue. I encountered the same problem with Mark Hart, one of the national leaders from the LifeTeen movement. Rather than address my points, his team sent me a link to a talk given by a "conservative" priest who had "seen the light" about using contemporary Praise and Worship music for the Mass. Neither Mark nor the priest (nor the LifeTeen staff, for that matter), quoted any of the documents from the Congregation for Divine Worship to justify their vehement support. The commentary seemed to me to be based on feelings.
In 2004, when Blessed John Paul II wrote his last encyclical, "Ecclesia de Eucharistia", he observed that there were shadows that have creeped into the Mass, shadows that needed to be dispelled. In preparation for the 2005 Synod on the Eucharist, the Holy See prepared a set of questions that were submitted to the bishops from around the world (both Latin and Eastern Rites), the prefects of various Roman Congregations and Superiors General of the religious orders. One such question centered around the issue that Polish Pontiff had addressed:
4. The Shadows in the Celebration of the Eucharist: In the Encyclical Letter Ecclesia de Eucharistia (n. 10) the Holy Father mentions "shadows" in the celebration of the Eucharist. What are the negative aspects (abuses, misunderstandings) existing in Eucharistic worship? What elements or actions done in practice can obscure the profound sense of the Eucharistic mystery? What is the cause of such a disorienting situation for the faithful?
Also in that same Lineamenta, the document brings up the issue of the music used during the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. It notes that:
The Dignity of Chant and Sacred Music51. Chant and music ought to be worthy of the mystery which is celebrated, as seen in the psalms, hymns and spiritual canticles of Sacred Scripture. (cf. Col 3:16) Therefore, from the first centuries, the Church has considered sacred music as an integrating part of the Liturgy. While embracing various musical forms, the Church's Magisterium has constantly emphasised that "various forms of music be consistent with the spirit of the Sacred Liturgy",190 so as to avoid the risk that divine worship might be adversely affected by unsuitable profane elements.
This fact seems to be lost on Ken Canedo, Mark Hart and adherents of the Spirit and Song collection. Inasmuch as OCP has now come up with a supposedly new and improved version of the book, I do not know if the publishing house took to heart the concerns that the Fathers of the 2005 Synod on the Eucharist expressed in the Instrumentum Laboris
62. Some responses particularly mentioned the use of musical instruments, referring to the general guidelines contained in the Constitution Sacrosanctum concilium.89 In this regard, a certain appreciation was often voiced in the Latin tradition for the organ, whose majestic sound adds solemnity to worship and is conducive to contemplation. Some responses also made reference to experiences associated with the use of other musical instruments in the liturgy. Positive results in this area were achieved with the consensus of competent ecclesiastical authority, who judged these instruments proper for sacred use, in keeping with the dignity of the place and the edification of the faithful.
In other responses some lamented the poor quality of translations of liturgical texts and many musical texts in current languages, maintaining that they lacked beauty and were sometimes theologically unclear, thereby contributing to a weakening of Church teaching and to a misunderstanding of prayer. A few responses made particular mention of music and singing at Youth Masses. In this regard, it is important to avoid musical forms which, because of their profane use, are not conducive to prayer. Some responses note a certain eagerness in composing new songs, to the point of almost yielding to a consumer mentality, showing little concern for the quality of the music and text, and easily overlooking the artistic patrimony which has been theologically and musically effective in the Church's liturgy.
This is an area of concern that neither Mr. Canedo, Mr. Hart nor OCP has ever addressed. Mr. Canedo was noting about how excited he was to play his guitar at St. Peter's Basilica. That is all well and good; however, an entirely different matter is coming up with music that does not sound like something that one would hear on a secular easy listening station nor on a Broadway stage.
When he wrote his Apostolic Exhortation in response to the Synod on the Eucharist in 2007, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI echoed the concerns that the Synod Fathers shared about the question of music in the liturgy. I have often quoted this on numerous occasions in this blog; however, it bears repeating:
Liturgical song
42. In the ars celebrandi, liturgical song has a pre-eminent place. (126) Saint Augustine rightly says in a famous sermon that "the new man sings a new song. Singing is an expression of joy and, if we consider the matter, an expression of love" (127). The People of God assembled for the liturgy sings the praises of God. In the course of her two-thousand-year history, the Church has created, and still creates, music and songs which represent a rich patrimony of faith and love. This heritage must not be lost. Certainly as far as the liturgy is concerned, we cannot say that one song is as good as another. Generic improvisation or the introduction of musical genres which fail to respect the meaning of the liturgy should be avoided. As an element of the liturgy, song should be well integrated into the overall celebration (128). Consequently everything – texts, music, execution – ought to correspond to the meaning of the mystery being celebrated, the structure of the rite and the liturgical seasons (129). Finally, while respecting various styles and different and highly praiseworthy traditions, I desire, in accordance with the request advanced by the Synod Fathers, that Gregorian chant be suitably esteemed and employed (130) as the chant proper to the Roman liturgy (131).
The whole Spirit and Song/LifeTeen approach to music in the Mass, in my opinion, fails to live up to the parameters established by Sacramentum Caritatis 42. When I pointed this out to Ken Canedo, he never responded. When I have pointed this out to staff from both GIA and OCP, they told me that this was simply my opinion and dismissed it. Even the new version of Spirit and Song has still not quite gotten up to par with SC 42. Inasmuch as composers like Matt Maher were popular at this year's World Youth Day, that does not mean that their particular style of music is fitting for the Mass. In its website, OCP touts the fact that they consulted with young adults and youth ministers to find music that engages this group in ages. It also states that they consulted with Catholic theologians to ensure that the content is theologically sound. That is all well and good; however, the musical genre (the musicality, if you will) continues to fail to respect the meaning of the liturgy.
Interestingly enough, there is a growing movement within the youth, a yearning, if you will, for the sacred. This is evidenced by the increasing number of members of the Juventuum Movements that are springing up worldwide. These young people hunger for the sacred and want to experience Something beyond themselves. They are finding it at Juventuum.
OCP still has a chance to dispel the shadows that exist in the liturgy by improving the quality of the music the house produces for the Mass. The youth, OCP's target audience, years for the Sacred. The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, by its very nature, demands the Sacred. It is part of the Church's heritage and it should not be cast out into the darkness.

1.4lb of pure, extra-fine grade Australian Merino wool fiber in a 7-gauge knit. Not blended with synthetics, just a healthy serving of the good stuff.
Made of 100% extra-fine grade 19-micron count Australian merino wool, The Mark One Sweater feels like cashmere next to your skin but is durable enough to withstand heavy wear.
Tailored to fit the active man: slim through the arms and torso, with a non-elastic waistband to reduce the frumpy 'muffin effect' most sweaters exhibit.
Breathable: Wool naturally wicks away moisture, keeping you from getting sweaty when it's hot and preventing heat loss when it's cold.
Odor resistant: Unlike synthetics, wool efficiently releases sweat into the air so bacteria never gets the chance to form, keeping your sweater odor-free.
Durable: Due to its natural elasticity, wool fibers can be bent thousands of times without breaking, lasting significantly longer than cotton or synthetics.
Versatile: Soft as cashmere, but significantly more durable, Merino wool is the perfect balance of luxury and practicality.
Mark One Sweater: 1 for $85, 2 for $160, or 3 for $230
$5: Photographic Print
$10: Silk Knots (3 pairs) OR Socks (1 pair)
$45: Double-Thick Merino Scarf
$245: Custom Numeral Sweater
Ours is the story of a group of college friends who — in the fall of 2012 — came across an old picture of Dartmouth '68 Ed Heald in an iconic collegiate piece: the class numeral sweater. A sweater so well-made that when Heald showed it to us at Dartmouth Homecoming, it was still in perfect condition. A sweater that embodied quality craftsmanship and a classic, effortless style rarely seen in today's world of frothy trends and fast fashion.
It is with those values in mind that we undertook our first project, to bring back the class year sweater for our friends and classmates. We made our first batch of sweaters the winter after graduation, and they sold like wildfire. One year later, our dedication to high caliber craftsmanship has earned us the trust of thousands of customers around the world. And now we're applying what we've learned about knitwear to the Mark One Sweater, a piece that combines classic collegiate styling with modern manufacturing and quality materials. Come join us as we rethink knitwear.
- John, Woody, Alex, Kalon, and Arjuna
Risks and challenges
We spent the last year designing, sourcing, and distributing thousands of luxury collegiate sweaters for our friends and classmates, so we've been around the block a few times.
We've squared away all the pieces — materials are sourced, contracts are signed, patterns are approved, production is booked, import and customs are arranged, and logistics and fulfillment scenarios are planned. We recognize that it is always possible that unforeseen delays in any of these pieces may impact our ability to deliver promptly. We have accounted for this by building in a cushion in our delivery timelines and, should we perceive any further risk of delay during the production process, we will proactively communicate that to our supporters.
Our modern mill in Beijing makes sweaters for high-end European brands and is equipped with state-of-the art, high-efficiency knitting machines and has the capacity to produce tens of thousands of sweaters every month. We personally visited the mill and had lunch with the knitting technicians back in March. They are awesome and run a really solid operation.
Our goal is to deliver earlier than promised.Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

text: Digital Mixing Console YAMAHA QL5 : the independent little sister of the CL Series This entry was posted in Home-News, News, Tests by Claude. Bookmark the permalink. 5 November 2015 Crédits - Text : Ergonomics Patrick Marguerie, Operations Delphine Hannotin and Measures Claude Ducros The recent implementation of the ver.3 firmware is a perfect opportunity to take another look at the QL5. An intermediate level console, the QL series is directly derived from the CL console technology. Compact and lightweight, the QL5 targets both small and medium-sized applications in performing arts, events and installations. The integration of a Dante port enables it to supplement existing network configurations, particularly in fixed installations. Then what about this QL series ? Is it just a more affordable CL, but more richly featured with its 32 onboard preamps ? The QL Series models (QL1 and QL5) share the same preamps, touch screen and faders with the CL Series.They also have in common the Premium rack, the Dugan auto mixer, as well as certain operational features, such as "Touch & Turn" controls. But where the CL concept requires the use of digital signal transport connected to an external patch, the QL series concept is an all-in-one system with onboard preamps. Each QL can therefore work independently; though, if necessary, it can be connected with external I/O racks of the RIO series. What about this QL series, then? Is it just a more affordable CL, but more richly featured, with its 32 onboard preamps? Not quite, since, compared to its big brother, the DSP capabilities are clearly less powerful: it has only 16 available mix buses, compared to 24, and a virtual rack limited to 8 units of 31-band graphic equalizers, compared to the 16 available on the CL. Furthermore, in focusing on the "Touch&Turn" operating mode (which we will get back to later) and abandoning the "Centralogic" concept, Yamaha has reduced the number of direct access commands in the settings section and the required number of motorized faders, thereby reducing manufacturing costs. By limiting the number of essential controls, the control surface is, in any case, more straightforward, though it may have lost a little in terms of the fluidity of user intervention.

WIGAN'S hopes of snatching the title from Sunderland were all but ended by a stubborn QPR side in a goalless draw at the JJB Stadium.
Ian Holloway was on a scouting mission in Portugal and missed his heavily-depleted side hold out for a point against the wasteful Latics, who remain second after Ipswich were held to a 1-1 draw at Leeds.
Wigan named an unchanged line-up following last week's 2-0 win at Leicester, but QPR made four changes.
Goalkeeper Generoso Rossi was handed his first start, while Georges Santos, Adam Miller and Marcus Bean - recalled from a loan spell at Swansea on Friday - also came in.
Wigan forward Brett Ormerod, who kept his starting place after bagging a brace at the Walkers Stadium, almost made it three in two matches after just five minutes.
He found space down the right and cut inside before firing a low shot straight at Rossi.
The Latics were dominating the early stages, with captain Matt Jackson sending a header inches over the crossbar from a Graham Kavanagh free-kick shortly afterwards.
Rossi looked slightly nervous on the quarter-hour mark as he opted to punch clear a 25-yard attempt from Lee McCulloch.
Scotland international McCulloch was causing problems for the visitors defence, coming close again with a header from six yards and another shot from distance as Wigan continued to pile forward.
John Filan, who signed a new two-year contract at the JJB Stadium this week, was called into action for the first time after 26 minutes as he got down quickly to gather a low drive from Shabazz Baidoo.
Wigan were straight back on the attack, though, with Ormerod firing over from close range and Jason Roberts sending an effort just past the left-hand upright from his first sight of goal.
Bean almost marked his return to QPR with a goal as the half-time whistle approached but Filan parried his shot to safety.
Paul Jewell's men started the second half in the same vein, looking dangerous from every attack.
Jimmy Bullard crossed for Ormerod but the on-loan Southampton striker's effort cleared the crossbar before Kavanagh curled a free-kick into the arms of Rossi.
Roberts came agonisingly close to finding the goal his side craved in the 65th minute but his curling shot from just inside the box came back off the woodwork.
Shortly after Ian Breckin had lashed a shot high and wide, Jewell brought on leading scorer Nathan Ellington for the unlucky Ormerod.
If anything, Wigan lost their attacking impetus following the introduction of the 23-goal striker.
But Ellington very nearly snatched the headlines at the death when his stunning volley crashed back off a post.
Wigan 0 QPR 0
WIGAN'S hopes of snatching the title from Sunderland were all but ended by a stubborn QPR side in a goalless draw at the JJB Stadium.

Blue Letter Bible offers several daily devotional readings in order to help you refocus on Christ and the Gospel of His peace and righteousness.
Recognizing the value of consistent reflection upon the Word of God in order to refocus one's mind and heart upon Christ and His Gospel of peace, we provide several reading plans designed to cover the entire Bible in a year.
(1.) A house or dwelling-place (Job 5:24; 18:6, etc.).
(2.) A portable shrine (Act 19:24) containing the image of Moloch (Amo 5:26; marg. and R.V., "Siccuth").
(3.) The human body (2Cr 5:1,4); a tent, as opposed to a permanent dwelling.
(4.) The sacred tent (Heb. mishkan, "the dwelling-place"); the movable tent-temple which Moses erected for the service of God, according to the "pattern" which God himself showed to him on the mount (Exd 25:9; Hbr 8:5). It is called "the tabernacle of the congregation," rather "of meeting", i.e., where God promised to meet with Israel (Exd 29:42); the "tabernacle of the testimony" (Exd 38:21; Num 1:50), which does not, however, designate the whole structure, but only the enclosure which contained the "ark of the testimony" (Exd 25:16,22; Num 9:15); the "tabernacle of witness" (Num 17:8); the "house of the Lord" (Deu 23:18); the "temple of the Lord" (Jos 6:24); a "sanctuary" (Exd 25:8).
A particular account of the materials which the people provided for the erection and of the building itself is recorded in Ex. 25-40. The execution of the plan mysteriously given to Moses was intrusted to Bezaleel and Aholiab, who were specially endowed with wisdom and artistic skill, probably gained in Egypt, for this purpose (Exd 35:30-35). The people provided materials for the tabernacle so abundantly that Moses was under the necessity of restraining them (36:6). These stores, from which they so liberally contributed for this purpose, must have consisted in a great part of the gifts which the Egyptians so readily bestowed on them on the eve of the Exodus (Exd 12:35,36).
The tabernacle was a rectangular enclosure, in length about 45 feet (i.e., reckoning a cubit at 18 inches) and in breadth and height about 15. Its two sides and its western end were made of boards of acacia wood, placed on end, resting in sockets of brass, the eastern end being left open (Exd 26:22). This framework was covered with four coverings, the first of linen, in which figures of the symbolic cherubim were wrought with needlework in blue and purple and scarlet threads, and probably also with threads of gold (Exd 26:1-6; 36:8-13). Above this was a second covering of twelve curtains of black goats'-hair cloth, reaching down on the outside almost to the ground (Exd 26:7-11). The third covering was of rams' skins dyed red, and the fourth was of badgers' skins (Heb. tahash, i.e., the dugong, a species of seal), Exd 25:5; 26:14; 35:7, 23; 36:19; 39:34.
Internally it was divided by a veil into two chambers, the exterior of which was called the holy place, also "the sanctuary" (Hbr 9:2) and the "first tabernacle" (6); and the interior, the holy of holies, "the holy place," "the Holiest," the "second tabernacle" (Exd 28:29; Hbr 9:3,7). The veil separating these two chambers was a double curtain of the finest workmanship, which was never passed except by the high priest once a year, on the great Day of Atonement. The holy place was separated from the outer court which enclosed the tabernacle by a curtain, which hung over the six pillars which stood at the east end of the tabernacle, and by which it was entered.
The order as well as the typical character of the services of the tabernacle are recorded in Heb. 9; 10:19-22.
The holy of holies, a cube of 10 cubits, contained the "ark of the testimony", i.e., the oblong chest containing the two tables of stone, the pot of manna, and Aaron's rod that budded.
The holy place was the western and larger chamber of the tabernacle. Here were placed the table for the shewbread, the golden candlestick, and the golden altar of incense.
Round about the tabernacle was a court, enclosed by curtains hung upon sixty pillars (Exd 27:9-18). This court was 150 feet long and 75 feet broad. Within it were placed the altar of burnt offering, which measured 7 1/2 feet in length and breadth and 4 1/2 feet high, with horns at the four corners, and the laver of brass (Exd 30:18), which stood between the altar and the tabernacle.
The whole tabernacle was completed in seven months. On the first day of the first month of the second year after the Exodus, it was formally set up, and the cloud of the divine presence descended on it (Exd 39:22-43; 40:1-38). It cost 29 talents 730 shekels of gold, 100 talents 1,775 shekels of silver, 70 talents 2,400 shekels of brass (Exd 38:24-31).
The tabernacle was so constructed that it could easily be taken down and conveyed from place to place during the wanderings in the wilderness. The first encampment of the Israelites after crossing the Jordan was at Gilgal, and there the tabernacle remained for seven years (Jos 4:19). It was afterwards removed to Shiloh (Jos 18:1), where it remained during the time of the Judges, till the days of Eli, when the ark, having been carried out into the camp when the Israelites were at war with the Philistines, was taken by the enemy (1Sa 4), and was never afterwards restored to its place in the tabernacle. The old tabernacle erected by Moses in the wilderness was transferred to Nob (1Sa 21:1), and after the destruction of that city by Saul (1Sa 22:9; 1Ch 16:39,40), to Gibeon. It is mentioned for the last time in 1Ch 21:29. A new tabernacle was erected by David at Jerusalem (2Sa 6:17; 1Ch 16:1), and the ark was brought from Perez-uzzah and deposited in it (2Sa 6:8-17; 2Ch 1:4).
The word thus rendered ('ohel) in Exd 33:7 denotes simply a tent, probably Moses' own tent, for the tabernacle was not yet erected.

Online Gambling Promotions
The types of online gambling promotions you will find at online casinos do vary a bit. Right now there is many online gambling casinos which are giving away a free play gambling bonus, which allow the player to sign up and immediately credited with specific amount of starting balance. Play the gambling bonus for a hour and after which the player can keep any winnings.
Another type of online gambling promotion is free money with no deposit, where the online casino give the player x amount of credits. The nice thing about the free money promotions is that there is no time limit on playing the bonus, but these are normally a lot smaller amounts being given away.
All online casinos delivers online gambling promotions to players when they make a purchase. Some even give extra credits for using webwallets to purchase. Above is selected online casinos which are given money away.
First Time At No Deposit Cash Casinos, gives you the chance to try before you purchase. It is the one way players get a free test drive of the casinos without the risks or worries of depositing. It will help build trust and ultimately show users that they casinos are legit. Purchases bonuses are offered more than other promotions, and it is not a bad idea to try them out. If you think about it, real casinos you walk into, never just give you money to start playing so why would casinos online? It was a marketing strategy that started when they first launched but now people actually know the casinos are real and winners do happen. So the promotions of totally free have disappeared a lot in recent years.

|My great uncle Alexander
Since I last sat down to write anything there have been some breakthroughs. We now have the war records of my granddad (both wars), my dad's and his brother. The biggest breakthrough came only this week. I had been trying to find records of my granddad's brother for years. All I knew was that he died during the first world war but I could find no records. I did find what I thought might be his name on passenger list from London to Brisbane, final destination was Sydney. The age fitted (18) and his occupation was electrician - also correct. I asked a distant Australian relative (met through Ancestry but a different branch of the family) to look up records in her country but she found nothing.
I then had a brain wave when I realised that all the searches I was doing were in the UK. I changed the country to search and bingo! There was a military record which matched name, and father's name in London. I couldn't access the record without paying another hefty subscription fee and was about to ask my relative again when my husband said he'd look when he went to the records office at Kew the next day. He was attending a talk about military records and they gave him some advice. Immediately I searched the Australian military sites and was able to find the record and access it free. I got the whole of his records (he'd lied about his age!) as well as finding written notes of action from various other sources. My great uncle fought in Gallipoli, was injured and died of his wounds while on board ship. He was buried at sea. It was a sad find but also an exciting one. I also felt that after all these years someone was thinking about him again and knew what he went through. My granddad's family was a very difficult one. His parents were violent towards him and his siblings. The daughter wanted nothing to do with them once she married (my mother said she was a social climber! Family stories are, if nothing, eyeopeners and to be taken often with a pinch of salt) but my granddad stuck up for his mother to the end, even though she gave my grandmother and my mother hell.
I only have one photo of my great uncle (apparently my mother threw the others away). Sometimes I wonder if he went to Australia to escape his mother. Maybe he just wanted adventure. Often war was seen like that in the early days. Whatever the reason I am glad I've found him and he has taken his rightful place in the family tree. I still have a couple more mysteries to solve - people whose details I can't pin down. I'll keep trying and add their stories to the others.

Saturday, August 14, 2010
Fine reporting from Nicole Cox at The Sunday Times on a dinghy being dumped off the beautiful island.
Two blokes were collected about 500m off Marjorie Bay late this morning.
At least they were there: this story earlier this week by ace reporter Geoffrey Thomas said locals were eschewing Rottnest for Asian destinations.
Rottnest has borne the brunt of the changing travel patterns and in the eight months to the end of February attracted 32,330 fewer people - a 13 per cent drop - than the 247,249 in the same period the previous year, Geoff reported.
But Rottnest Island Authority chief executive Paolo Amaranti said June visitor numbers were in line with previous years and last-minute bookings were up last month.
"The number of winter packages sold to date far outstrips those sold for the same period last year," Mr Amaranti said.
"Demand for RIA accommodation units continues to far outstrip supply during the peak summer period, with 4500 applications received for the summer ballot 2010 for a total of 1300 available units."

TNSC & BIG Business Cooperation News
TNSC invested Benson
Oct. 25th, 2013 TAIYO NIPPON SANSO Corporation (TNSC) has invested Benson Industrial Gases Technology (BIG) since the end of November, 2013, by way of Capital Increase Shares by third-party allotment in shares of the BIG, and a Capital Investment and business alliance agreement have been signed on October 10th, 2013, as picture below.
TNSC was founded in 1910, and is the biggest industrial gases manufacturer in Japan, the group annual revenue amounted to approximately 500 billion Japanese yen, it is in the top five ranking in world industrial Gases market, they also have 70 companies in Asia, Europe and North America, they have intended to expand more companies through acquisition and investments in Asia and North America in recent years.
TNSC mentioned, as an industrial gas manufacturer, TNSC has been developing its PSA gas generators business, primarily within Japan, for approximately 30 years. The domestic PSA gas generators market is centered on replacement and has been stable, but there are concerns about the increasing number of Japanese companies shifting their operations overseas. For this reason, both parties concluded that there is an urgent need to enter the Southeast Asian and Chinese markets, in which growth is expected going forward, in order to expand mutual business. BIG has a manufacturing base in Suzhou, China, and is operating a PSA gas generator business in the Asian region. By acquiring approximately 30% of its shares, we are aiming to secure a stable supply of the high quality adsorbent agents which form the core technology in PSA gas generators. And at the same time to utilize the manufacturing, sales, and service network of BIG in the Asian region to accelerate the overseas development of the PSA gas generator business of TNSC.
In addition, BIG utilizes the new capital with combining TNSC technology research and development of core technologies to PSA adsorbent materials, improve the ability to reduce the produce energy with a stable supply. Through this series of Joint policies, TNSC forecast that as a result of these measures the net sales of that business in TNSC will be 2.5 billion yen in 2016, approximately double the current levels.

I have been a Jay Sean fan since he started with the Rishi Rich Productions. He's always been a part of the group, I love Juggy D and Rishi Rich the same way. I've been so lucky enough to see and dance with Juggy D live! It's been such an amazing experience. The following are two videos, one from before Jay showed up and the one after he did.
This time when I was in Beijing, I found out Jay Sean was coming. Determined to see him live me and my sister reached there right on time, waited for over 2 hours for him to show up and when he did, the crowd obviously got crazy. The bouncers were right upfront, even though there were wide steel pipes separating us from the stage. After my several attempts to ignore and avoid the crowd punching and pushing from behind, the Chinese bouncers took both me and my sister out of the club. The most obnoxious sort of club I have ever come across. This club is so discriminatory. We were in the front, minding our business and dancing while these other Chinese women were dancing and punching us from behind, and to our surprise, the bouncers decided to take us out instead. It is ridiculous and honestly absurd.

On a recent post, a commenter noted that anti-RKBA groups must have trouble recruiting workers given the conflicting skill sets of credentials and experience and the reasoning skills of a toddler. I had to disagree; since the goal of groups like Moms Demand Deaths Action isn't reducing violence, poor logical skills aren't needed.
Just a willingness to lie. Like Shannon "I'm just a stay at home mom" Watts, the professional public relations manager paid by Bloomberg.
Sometimes I'm willing to allow that a person is ignorant, rather than maliciously lying, when advocating for victim disarmament. That's because there are — at least — two types of gun control advocates.
The first are those for whom the goal is a disarmed citizenry — for the sake of people control — rather than a reduction in violence.
The second is their targeted demographic: those who didn't care enough about the subject to have already educated themselves using readily available data. The first group lies to the second to instill panic so that they will begin to care. But the targeted demographic will be operating on the dramatic lies and blood-dancing they accepted passively.
How do you tell the ignorantly well-intentioned — who might be capable of grasping reality once it's presented — from the outright liars? Let's look at a hypothetical situation.
Some horrible murder occurs. A group forms saying they want to prevent that happening again. They create a Facebook page to present facts about guns and violence, including a graphic that purports to show that having a gun is more likely to be a danger to you and yours, than to useful for protection. Someone else notes that they've referenced the debunked Kellerman study.
At this point, the gun control group could do a few things. They could ask what the Kellerman study is, suggesting they work from simple ignorance. They could stand up for the Kellerman study, which might be ignorance or lying; could go either way.
Or, they might claim that graphic doesn't represent the Kellerman study, indicating they know what the Kellerman paper is, and that isn't isn't worth using as a reference.
So let's say they did the latter. And our observant commenter points out that the graphic specifically includes text saying it's from the Kellerman paper. A few other people jump in to tell them the same thing. And the next time our fearless commenter visits the page, his comments have been deleted, as have the others supporting his position. The Kellerman graphic remains now unchallenged. That would be a group of liars, not well-intentioned ignoramuses.
Oh. Wait. That situation wasn't hypothetical. That's exactly what Watts' Moms Demand Action did.
Maybe another hypothetical.
Let's say that a state legislature is considering a bill to impose universal preemptively-prove-your-innocence prior restraint background checks for firearms purchases. And let's say that another group formed in response to the above mentioned mass shooting testify in a public hearing that universal background checks would have stopped the asshole who killed the children at Sandy Hook. Since the murderer obtained his weapons by first murdering his mother and stealing her guns, it's hard to imagine him then stopping for a background check. But hey.
So someone contacts the group to point out the little problem with the claim. The possible responses could tell us how we should view them.
They could say that their reps were overwhelmed by emotion and misspoke, and offer a correction.
Or they could lie, and claim their reps actually said PPYI would not have stopped the Sandy Hook killer.
Oh. Darn it. This one wasn't hypothetical either. It happened. I was there in the hearing in New Hampshire in 2014 when the Sandy Hook Promise representatives definitely said PPYI would have stopped him. I laughed out loud. So did several hundred other people, who also muttered enough about the outlandish claim that the committee chairwoman had to call for silence. And when I contacted SHP, they did lie about what their reps testified to.
In fact, I got two lies for the price of one.
"Sandy Hook Promise is firmly rooted in constitutional values and as such does not support policy or legislation that poses a burden on anyone's rights."
Except when they send representatives to another state to demand just such burdensome legislation. (Frankly, I'm amazed they got there. They said that Connecticut borders on New Hampshire.)
Once you've determined which type you're dealing with — lying SOBs, or their knowledged challenged targets — deal with them appropriately. Call out the liars like Moms Demand Action, Sandy Hook Promise, and Giffords; especially in a manner that theirs targets can see so they'll know they've been lied to. Admittedly, that's touigh when the media are the allies of the liars (and generally liars themselves).
The knowledge-challenged you can try to educate directly. But you have to work past the false "knowledge" they've been suckered with.

I have been given by a friend of mine an idea, an aching truth and a mere perception of reality. It is the reality that the world today starves. Demands continue to pile up as supplies rummages. The hunger issue everywhere continues to escalate at an alarming stage as we see children die of famine, communities and states wage war on this bewildering event.
That is why everyone is painfully swallowing the reality that the quality and quantity of food doesn't matter anymore. Nowadays, having 'something' to eat is a great blessing in which we should be thankful for. Our belief and perception that it is only the rich people, who get to eat in a decent manner, can somehow be coming true.
We don't have to wait 'till or every Christmas day to remember these hungry people. Just being appreciative of whatever is in front of your table is more than enough to show you care.

Two new books about the iconic artist Sadequain were launched in November 2010 at Gallery 6 Islamabad, in collaboration with the Sadequain Foundation, California, USA. One book depicted the collection of calligraphies, 'The Legend of Sadequain – Renaissance of Calligraphic Art in Pakistan', which had biographical notes and a collection of over 160 calligraphic paintings of the legendary artist. The second book 'Mystic Expressions by Sadequain is an odyssey to exaltation with Ghalib, Iqbal, Faiz and Sadequain' had illustrations, or one could even call them interpretations, of poetry of these famous oriental poets of the recent past.
The books are two of the five books printed by the Sadequain Foundation in USA till to date. At that time, a limited number of these books were imported to be sold in Pakistan. Even though their quality did not seem to be good, they received encouraging response as almost all copies were sold on the launching day. This highly encouraged the Sadequain Foundation to print more books on Sadequain in Pakistan.
'Mystic Expressions by Sadequain is an odyssey to exaltation with Ghalib, Iqbal, Faiz and Sadequain'. Sadequain was deeply interested in the issues that have challenged the best minds of the human race about the questions about the mysteries of the universe its origin and objectives, meaning of life on our Earth and beyond, role of human race in the universe, freedom and self determination, survival and progress, and the fine line between reason and emotion - even in his own poetry he dealt with these issues.

Shell protects Ducati through MotoGP rule change
Working together to protect the GP9 Desmosedici engine
The new FIM regulations come into force this weekend in Brno, which means that each rider may only use five engines for the final seven schedules races of the 2009 season. Because of this, both Ducati and Shell feel it is vital that engines are lubricated and protected.
�Our motorcycle oil development program faces new challenges this year,� says Michael Knakk, Shell Global Solutions lubricant development expert and Ducati technical partnership project leader.
�We are very proud of the engine and gearbox reliability Shell Advance helped achieve for Ducati in 2008, so continuing that high standard is a big focus for us. We also plan to use our expertise in light of the new FIM regulations stating that for the final seven races of the 2009 MotoGP season, each rider may only use five engines. This new restriction means that Shell�s input will be more important than ever for Ducati. Shell Advance will play a vital role in helping protect the GP9 Desmosedici engine and maintain its performance over multiple races.�
Ducati is counting on Shell�s analysis to keep the Italian factory ahead of the pack in MotoGP.
�The partnership with Shell has been really good since the beginning,� says Livo Suppo, Ducati Corse MotoGP project director. �With the new FIM rules use this season, Shell Advance is central in providing the engines with the protection they need. The stress upon the engine is very high during a race situation, so Shell�s contribution to maintaining the high performance of the engine over multiple races will be very important.�

Windows 7 Dual Monitor Taskbar: How to Extend Windows 7 Taskbar to a Second Monitor
- Introduction
- Multi-monitor Taskbar: Windows 7 Features
- Multi-monitor Taskbar: Additional Features
- Conclusion
1. Introduction
In Windows 7, Microsoft has significantly redesigned one of the most essential parts of Windows user interface - the taskbar. Users got a lot of new features and facilities, like Pin, Peek, Jump Lists, and more.
However, even the new Windows 7 still has no special tools for a multiple displays environment. One of the most obvious and wanted features is the ability to extend the new taskbar across all available displays: multi-monitor users would like to have the new task management features on secondary monitors as well.
General Windows 7 taskbar on dual monitors
Although there are several third party solutions that allow duplicating the taskbar on secondary monitors, they still have no or just partial support of the new taskbar features presented in Windows 7. Actual Multiple Monitors is the first and only multi-monitor software that provides the exact replica of Windows 7 Taskbar on secondary displays.
2. Multi-monitor Taskbar: Windows 7 Features
After installation, Actual Multiple Monitors immediately adds a copy of the main Windows Taskbar to each secondary monitor. Each copy supports the following features:
2.1. Essential Controls: Start Button, Notification Area (System Tray), Show Desktop Button
Having such essential controls as the Start button, the notification area (a.k.a. system tray) with the clock and the Show Desktop button in a second monitor's taskbar eliminates the necessity to drag the mouse to the primary monitor each time you need to perform one of the following common tasks:
- launch a program fr om the Start Menu
- access some background program's icon in the notification area
- open the Date and Time Properties dialog
- peer past all open windows straight to the Windows 7 desktop
With Actual Multiple Monitors, you can perform any of these tasks while working with any display.
Taskbar with its essential controls on a second monitor
2.2. Pin
Pin feature is a smart replacement of the Quick Launch toolbar: it allows having certain application icons persistent on the leftmost position in the taskbar. Each icon allows both launching the pinned application and activating it (when it's launched already).
In Actual Multiple Monitors, you can have different sets of pinned applications on different monitors. You can pin an icon in any of the following ways:
via context menu command
via drag-n-drop of the application's shortcut
2.3. Live Previews and Aero Peek
Live Taskbar Previews are actual thumbnail images of open windows. A preview appears when you hover over a taskbar button for a while. Previews support the Aero Peek feature: hover over a certain window's preview to quickly reveal that window buried somewhere on the desktop.
Aero Peek on second monitor's taskbar
Actual Multiple Monitors taskbars have the full support for Live Previews: they appear for single buttons, for group buttons (multi-preview with a thumbnail for each window in the group) and for tabbed web browsers (multi-preview with a thumbnail for each browser's tab).
Multi-preview for several Internet Explorer tabs opened on a second monitor
2.4. Jump Lists
Jump Lists give you a quick access to the recent files and common tasks of a certain application via its taskbar button (either usual or pinned). To call a Jump List, just right-click the required icon in the taskbar (note that the old system window menu can be called using the Shift-RightClick combination).
Jump List for a Windows Media Player button
Actual Multiple Monitors shows the Jump Lists on secondary taskbars as well.
2.5. Taskbar Toolbars
Actual Multiple Monitors allows adding any toolbars onto second monitor's taskbar, including the standard toolbars (like Quick Launch, Address, Desktop, Windows Media Player, etc.) and any custom ones.
Secondary taskbar's context menu for managing toolbars
2.6. Visual Enhancements
Secondary taskbars in Actual Multiple Monitors support such small but visually appealing features as colorized highlighting for a button under the mouse and progress bars on buttons' background showing a progress for actual application's task (downloading a web page, writing a DVD, packing files, converting a video, etc.).
3. Multi-monitor Taskbar: Additional Features
3.1. Individual/Mirror Mode
Multi-monitor Taskbar can work in two different modes: individual (default) and mirror. In individual mode, each taskbar displays the buttons only for windows which are on the same monitor. This mode is recommended if you would like to treat your monitors as separate desktops devoted to different activities.
Multi-monitor Taskbar in individual mode
In mirror mode, all taskbars display all open windows no matter what monitor a particular window is on (i.e. all taskbars show the same set of buttons). This can be useful if you have some of your displays installed and would like to control all running applications from any display.
Multi-monitor Taskbar in mirror mode
3.2. Group Window Operations
Secondary taskbar's context menu provides the commands to manipulate several windows at once ("subject monitor" mentioned below is the monitor wh ere you invoked particular command):
Secondary taskbar's context menu
Minimize all/Restore all commands - if you are using the individual mode then you can quickly minimize all open windows on the subject monitor and restore them back in a single click (in mirror mode windows will be minimized/restored on all monitors at once). You can use the Aero Shake feature as well
Gather all windows here command - puts windows from all monitors onto the subject monitor
Get here all windows from command/submenu - retrieves all windows from a specified monitor and puts them onto the subject monitor
Send all windows from here to command/submenu - transfers all windows from the subject monitor to a specified one
4. Conclusion
With the release of Windows 7, users got a lot of new task management features but with the release of Actual Multiple Monitors everyone can extend the new functions to all available displays. At the moment, Actual Multiple Monitors is the only software that extends Windows 7 taskbar to secondary monitors and replicates it as exact as possible.
Make Winamp and Winamp skins transparent

Yes, Happy New Year to everyone who reads my blog … please also comment, even if its to say you were here and why.
Just back from a brisk walk to Puycasquier, past fields of turned clay covered in the last of the sunshine and some science ficitonary trees
Going back to my practice piece of quilting now, this time with a metallic thread … so far I've tried 3 different types and the tension is OK after some fiddling!! This is the frame sans machine … will post pics of the whole set up asap … its much more exciting quilting than taking photos of the frame etc!!!


text: Another free pattern, these guys are fairly quick to whip up, you just need to add a bottom. I prefer to use a popcorn stitch instead of a bobble stitch, and front and back post stitches instead of FLO and BLO, but it works as written. The one on the left is done to the pattern, on the right is my modified version. Remember that this is UK terminology, so when it says DC, it means SC.

You might see some back issue reviews for this series because I finally had the chance to catch up and I regret not making the time for the reviews. Seriously, really good. Might even beat out Ninjak if you ask me on the right day. [su_quote]Synopsis: Get ready for Gilad to die a bunch and make the mistake of ignoring his first born son right when he's ready to connect with him. Did I mention that Gilad dies a lot?[/su_quote]
There isn't a whole hell of a lot to say about this issue. We do get to see Gilad die a bunch in a bunch of different ways and we learn a little about how he regenerates as well. I like the fact that there's a process and it's not like Marvel's bullshit. That and the ending sequence of the issue is exciting. That's right, exciting. A comic book had me excited to see the outcome and then delivered on that excitement.
Robert Venditti's writing on this series continues to be impressive. Mostly because he lets the art do so much of the work. He's got this masterful plan for the character, but it's so simple and brilliant that he can just let the artist have fun.
The art team, which totals to three people, continues to do that thing I love on this series in which Gilad will be all black with the exception of his teeth, eyes and scar. The deaths are amazing and great looking. I do wish that we had some visual reminder of the difficulties he faces when he leaves paradise. I feel like without that reminder it makes it look too simple for him to return. Otherwise the deaths are great and the lettering is strong. Particularly at the end when the lettering and art overlap and work in tandem.
This is an issue with great moments that tie in to each other to make an even better issue. It's a comic that gets you excited to read more of it. To see more of it. I don't know where Venditti and company will go after this story, but it can wait because I just want to finish this story arc. Probably more than I did with the first story arc.

Overhaul NHT
Published:Friday | November 7, 2014 | 12:00 AM
Liguanea PO, Kingston 6
THE EDITOR, Sir: The management of the National Housing Trust (NHT) should be outsourced or revamped with a renewed mandate to provide housing for the people of Jamaica, where there is more than 65 per cent squatting, and not building parks, bailing out Government or acquiring entertainment properties like the Trelawny-based Outameni attraction.
NHT is obviously cash rich and should be allowed to enter the market providing lower interest rates, thus having the impact of forcing down the generally oppressive interest rates and, subsequently, housing stock prices in the market.
The NHT must be there for many more people. The reach must be widened.

Advisory from the National Hurricane Center has formally marked the development of Tropical Storm Debby in the Gulf of Mexico with predictable winds speed of 50 MPH and moving slowly in a northerly direction. We're continuing to monitor the weather situation in the tropics through our regional offices in both Atlanta, Ga., and Denton, Texas, and here at headquarters. We are equipped to support our state, local, tribal and territorial partners as necessary.
The storm is located 220 miles South-Southeast of the mouth of the Mississippi River, and a Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for the Coast of Louisiana from the mouth of the Pearl River westward to Morgan City.
Since there is some indecision in the storm's speed and motion we urge all residents of the Gulf Coast to pay close attention to weather developments over the next several days – especially those living along the northern Gulf Coast.
You will always hear us at FEMA talk about the need to be organized. With the formation of Debby in the Gulf (and due to the uncertain track) we strongly persuade you to take the time to prepare your family, home or business to lessen the impact of a tropical storm or hurricane. If you're uncertain about where to start, visit Ready.gov/hurricanes today to learn how to make an emergency plan and how to create a family emergency kit.
Staying up to date with the newest tropical forecast information over the weekend and into early next week (as well as during all of hurricane season) is easy. Here is how you can get the latest from the National Hurricane Center:

Higher risk of suicide and autism in children born to older dads - Medical News Today: More recent genetic studies have claimed that the age of the father at conception is linked to the likelihood of "de novo mutations" developing in their children. De novo mutations are when a gene becomes present in a family for the first time as the result of a mutation in the egg or sperm from one of the parents.
These de novo mutations have also been linked to ASDs. Medical News Today reported on one genetic study that found this in 2012.

Jim Douglas is a best selling author and Civil War historian, and a serious collector of Civil War artifacts. He has authored two Civil War books "Born To Serve, The Major A. G. Happer Story" and the companion book, "The Bloody Eleventh, A Regimental History."
Over the years he has developed a network of friendships with Civil War historians, authors, living historians, battlefield guides, re-enactors, collectors, experts and dealers across the country. Civil War collectors and dealers often approach him for advice on the authenticity of items, prior to purchase.
Mr. Douglas has been consulted about Civil War related matters by the Pittsburgh Tribune Review, and has had several feature articles written in the Washington Observer Reporter. He has also been a speaker at local schools, clubs, events and other venues, presenting various programs about the Civil War.
His book Born To Serve is being used in Washington High School's Advanced Placement History Department, and is the keystone in an ongoing effort to bring recognition to Major Happer in the city he helped lead into the twentieth century.
Mr. Douglas has several new book projects currently under development. He lives in southwestern Pennsylvania with his wife and family.
Look for his next book release in the Spring of 2019.
Mr Douglas,
I am the Social Studies Department Leader at Washington High School in Washington, PA.
One of the courses I teach is AP/College in High School U.S. History.
I purchased Born to Serve for all my students because it's a great book with a local connection.
I will ask my students to help make Major Happer's story more well known to our local people in
the hope that some formal recognition and/or monument will be made to cite his contributions to this city.
This will be a special project for my students.
Jeff Bunner
I had a great time last Tuesday once again visiting the AP History class at Washington High in Washington, PA. Mr. Jeff Bunner as always had the group organized and ready to present their
program in support of gaining recognition for Major A.G. Happer. They set as their mission, the following:
"Major A.G. Happer was not concerned with his own recognition while playing an instrumental part in developing Washington.
We learned about him only through Jim Douglas's book "Born to Serve" and felt that it was unjust for such a key figure in our local history to not have any formal recognition in the city. This project allows us to go beyond the classroom to make an impact on our community while learning life skills and applying them to honor an important local historical figure."
Also in attendance were my "Chief of Staff" Linda Douglas along with PA State Representative Mr. Brandon Neuman. From the Washington County Historical Society, Mr. Clay Kilgore, and from the Washington Observer-Reporter, Mr. Nate Doughty. The students did a fine job with their presentation.
Representative Neuman has begun the process of helping the students with assembling the lengthy application packets for a State Historical Marker from the Pennsylvania Historical & Museum Commission. He also has pledged very sizable portion of the application fee which is considerable. The goal is to have the marker erected in front of the Major's home which is now the Admission Offices for Washington & Jefferson College. I have been given the honor of writing the text that will appear on the marker.
The Washington County Historical Society also has a recognition event planned to coincide with the marker's unveiling ceremony. More on that to come later.
The students also have other goals for Major Happer. A brick on the Veteran's Walkway, a historical plaque affixed to the Major's house, having the Major's home declared a Historical Landmark, and a statue to be recognized by the city. As you can see, they are quite lofty goals. The students have been working on this for quite a while & have achieved great progress. Below are a few pictures of the festivities yesterday. I have never worked with a finer group of young people as are these students from Wash High. I predict they all will achieve whatever they desire in their lives. There is more to come! Stay tuned. BTW, Wash High is celebrating their 150th year!

The Scooper VS A Clean Car
For weeks now scooper1 has needed to be washed. Every time I would think about washing it, the snow would come or I knew I would be driving on a dirt road that was muddy. Well the time came last week and although I wasn't feeling well I broke down and washed it. Feeling that I had done a good job and Scooper1 was looking shiny again I dreaded over the news that once again a storm had come in and I would be driving in snow tomorrow. Scooper1 is once again dirty and they say there are no storms on the horizon so I may just wash it this week. So to add insult to my dirtiness my friend Barney came over to hang out for a bit and saw how dirty Scooper1 was. After I told him of how it was clean and got dirty the next day he then proceeded to tell me how he washes his car 2 to 3 times a week and I should do the same. I decided not to point out that he has no job and I do... I don't have the free time to wash my car all the time... damn job keepin my car dirty!

By Larry Drebes | Posted on July 20, 2011
This is the first in a series of blog posts by Kevin Long, Janrain Technical Product Manager, to introduce the new Janrain Engage Social Login Widget and provide detail on how to use the new enhancements.
I'm pleased to announce a new release of the Janrain Engage Social Login Widget this month. The release includes multiple customization capabilities easily accessed from your dashboard, performance enhancements and additional support for mobile products. Today will focus on the new style and layout options available to you, but stay tuned for future posts on:
The familiar Janrain Engage Social Login widget is a comforting sign that welcomes visitors to a site and delivers a promise of a frictionless sign-up, login, and return experience, but sometimes one size does not fit all. What if you want to develop your own unique brand experience that expresses your site's identity and unique audience? It's always been possible, but now it's so easy, that it's fun.
If you don't already have a style guide for your site now would be a great time to get started. It should not be a long document with rules and regulations, but rather a concise guide to the facts of life of designing for your site. It should include the things anyone designing new content for your site needs to know to fit in and get along. At the minimum it should include the dimensions of your content areas, along with your palette of colors and selected fonts so that you can maintain your brand identity as your site grows.
A Simple Style Guide for Example.com:
The example site column Layout with a header and footer.
Site width is 960px wide.
Header and footer are the full width but only 100px tall.
Columns on both sides are 180px wide.
All areas have 10px margin top and bottom and 20px margin left and right.
Header and Footer and Sidebar Background: #333 – Charcoal;
Accent Foreground:
Content Background: #EEE – Off White
Content Foreground: #999 – Dark Grey
All: Sans Serif – 10px
From this you can see where you might put the widget and can calculate the dimensions required. A diagram would be nice but this will do for now.
You could embed the full size widget in its default glory, center of the content area, but that seems a little heavy handed. You could place just a login link in the upper right to launch a modal pop up window, but that adds an extra click and doesn't clue the user in to the fact that they will have the ease of social login. You decide that the best of both worlds would be to embed the widget into the upper right section of the header.
Do the math to see how to fit your widget: the height should be the header height minus the top and bottom margin (100px-10px-10px = 80px), and the width should line up with the column width below to keep things orderly (180px-10px-10px = 160px). That's enough room for 3-4 icons or two columns of good-sized buttons. If you know that nine out of ten visitors to your site use Facebook, Google, Twitter and Yahoo, put those up front and allow the user to see more when they click the next page button.
Type: Embedded
Layout: Two Column Layout
Drag the handle to adjust the width slider:
Width: 160px
Providers Per Page: 4
Action Text: None
If providers aren't already configured, it's easy to do by clicking the gear icon next to each provider and following along with the wizard steps. Drag and drop them onto the multi-page version of the widget layout.
This is where you can set the background color according to your style guide by clicking on the color swatch to invoke the color picker or by entering the RGB hex codes directly. Select your font, and adjust the button style to be square, very round or in-between to match your site's general style. The widget preview is automatically updated as changes are made.
When you're satisfied with the look, proceed by clicking the Save button to apply changes. Another option is to select the Embed option instead of Save and click the Generate Code button to proceed to the next tab to cut and paste code that designers can easily modify later to tweak the configuration right on the site without returning to the dashboard.
Both the traditional widget and the new widget are available. To have access to the new widget, please contact your account representative or Janrain technical support.
In this post, we've covered how to adjust the layout and style of the new Janrain Engage Social Login Widget. Next week, we'll cover performance enhancements and some fine tuning tips to facilitate user engagement on your site.
If you have comments or suggestions about the product or its new features please contact me at email@example.com

First Looks – 2017 PORSCHE 718 BOXSTER.
Racing back into History with The PORSCHE 356
Gmünd, Austria, 1948. The streets roared to life with the sound of the first ever Porsche, a 356, spluttering and banging its way around the narrow roads. Attracting attention as it went along, history was made as the first ever, mid-engine four cylinder PORSCHE, rolled out of a sawmill and made a name for itself.
Having etched their name into the pages of history for making sporty and agile roadsters, they took it further by making racing cars. One of which is the 718 (1957 – 1962), used to race in several racing categories such as Le Mans 24 hours, Formula 1 and 2 and the European Hill Climb. A couple of great names in racing to have ever piloted this beauty included Graham Hill and Sir Sterling Moss.
The PORSCHE 718 RSK
Fast forward almost seven decades later, Porsche have brought back its past, to give us something great for the future. The new age of 4 cylinder engines on the 718 Boxster and 718 Boxster S. PORSCHE's newest range to its already existing forced induction models.
The 718 Boxster (left) and the 718 Boxster S (right)
Launched in Singapore last Thursday at Infinity Studios, Porsche Asia Pacific presented us with the two new cars. Although they look similar to the previous model, they could not be any more different.
Engine Overview
Due to euro emissions regulations, PORSCHE have developed a whole new engine. The number of cylinders on the new 718 Boxster have been reduced from 6 to 4, but do not fret. To compensate for this change, they have added a single turbo (courtesy of Borg Warner) capable of a boost of 20.3psi for the 2.0 litre model and a 14.3psi turbo with VTG (variable turbine geometry) which was taken from the 911 turbo. These additions translate in to impressive numbers. The Standard 718 Boxster now puts out 296HP where it once made 261hp. The 718 Boxster S is now 345HP as compared to the previous model's 311hp. A substantial leap in performance which will ultimately lead to a more exciting driving experience.
Even though the numbers aren't exactly a great improvement, they make a lot of difference in your everyday drive as well as on the track. PORSCHE offers their PDK and Sport Chrono Package for both modes which lets you sprint from zero to 100kn/h in 4.7 seconds for the standard 718 (.08 seconds faster than the previous model), and the Boxster S does its sprint to 100km/h in 4.2 seconds (0.6 seconds faster than the previous Boxster S). The new 718 Boxster's speed range revs up to 7,500rpm and has a power decline from nominal to maximum engine speed is at a surprising low of five percent, unmatched by any other turbo-charged engine of its class. The 718 Boxster allows the driver to use the its sublime accelerating power over a broad range of engine speed without having to changes gears often. Its full torque and power is always readily available right after gear shifts and unlike other cars, the torque gains are especially noticeable above the 100km/h mark. Top speeds for both cars are 275km/h for the 718 Boxster, and 285km/h for the 718 Boxster S.
Being one of the few cars which PORSCHE manufactures with an engine mounted in the middle, means that it has a perfect weight distribution between the axles and gives it a great balance through tight corners. Also, since the engine drives the rear wheels and the fronts wheels just steer, you will get excellent feedback through the steering wheels which will add to that almost erotic driving experience.
Design impression
Keeping to tradition, the new 718 Boxster's exterior changes are subtle but noticeable. Overall the car has taken on a slightly more muscular and angular look. The front end looks wider thanks to the new narrow design for the front lights which come with optional four point LEDs, as well as angular fins which run from the front of the bonnet to the windscreen.
The side profile remains almost the same but now has larger air holes to not only cool the engine but to also allow cool air into the turbo. In addition, there are newly designed side sills and wings and door handles without add-on handle shells.
The rear has taken on more restyling with its new accent strip bearing the PORSCHE badge between the tail lights. The rear's sharper edges along with the edge at the height of the reflectors adds a stronger presence. The remodelled rear lights are now more prominent with the three-dimensional LED technology and four-point brake lights.
Overall a great design and a throaty new engine will add to PORSCHE's already strong on-road reputation in Singapore. With several cars already ordered (and hopefully on their way here), we can expect to see and experience PORSCHE's newest offering to us fairly soon. If you feel the 718 Boxster's soft top is not your style, just wait for the unveiling of their new Cayman.

A teenage Britain's Got Talent star is set for her first dance performance since Simon Cowell funded her £175,000 spinal operation.
Dancer Julia Carlile, 15, was helped by the multimillionaire X-Factor mogul after she reached the finals of the talent show despite suffering from crippling scoliosis.
Julia, who performs with her troupe MerseyGirls, captured the nation's heart this year while competing with her ongoing health battle.
Last month, Julia, of West Kirby, Liverpool, returned from the US having undergone two rounds of major life-changing surgery paid for by Cowell.
The teenager says the treatment is vital towards her recovery and claimed her condition would have left her "stiff as a board" if she was tended to in the UK.
After the operations, around six weeks ago, Julia said she was still in a lot of pain even when lying on the sofa, the Liverpool Echo reports.
However two weeks ago that all began to change with more movement returning and the soreness in her body easing.
Now, in her excitement at being able to dance again, she has even been practising moves in her lounge - despite her mum telling her to rest and be careful.
Julia said: "I'll be able to dance in another two months which is crazy because with the other surgery I just wouldn't have been able to.
"In the future MerseyGirls can carry on dancing for ever and ever, which is what we always dreamt of, so the surgery is literally the best thing that has ever happened."
Julia says the dance troupe have a lot of plans for the new year after her first performance back with the team but that's all being kept under wraps at the moment.
The dancer was diagnosed with scoliosis at six years old, she says the condition "slowly got worse and worse" and doctors made a number of attempts to slow her spine from curving, including the use of back braces.
She said: "It wasn't too bad at first but then I started to get a really big rib hump and my whole body was on a wonk.
"That meant I couldn't do certain dance moves which really started to affect my life.
"Dancing was really hard, I couldn't do certain moves and I got really mad. I just wanted it to be gone and be like everyone else.
"I was in a lot more pain so surgery was the only answer. However, the condition made me different and it has got me where I am today."
In the two years before Julia was due to have diffusion surgery, an operation that would have left her unable to dance, she said she competed in every dance competition she was able to, despite being in "a lot of pain".
Julia said: "My surgery was going to be just after BGT. I thought that was the last dance I was ever going to do.
"Obviously that all changed. We found this surgery in America a few years ago that could carry out an operation on my back which would still allow me to dance.
"We looked into it but could never afford it. That was completely gone to me.
"Then Simon Cowell read up on it and offered to pay for the surgery which was crazy, it is unreal still now and we cannot thank him enough."
Before the operation, the angle of Julia's back curve was more than 100 degrees but it was corrected to around 50.
The surgeons told the family they were hopeful that with a growth spurt her spine will straighten however there is a possibility she may need a third operation to fully straighten out the vertebrae.
Julia added: "I had two major surgeries and they halved the curve in my spine. I am really happy with the results.
"I feel like I'm starting to get better and I'm just looking forward to performing with MerseyGirls now - I am itching to dance!
"It's been really crazy since I've been back from America.
"We went to the Reality TV Awards and I was back with MerseyGirls and that felt really good. It was like starting a normal life again being back with the girls."
