Q - Questioned Documents
23 comments:
Even though this evidence won't stand up in court, it still certainly gives the detective some valuable information about what really went on. Unless some hacker can mess with this data. There are always ways to mess with evidence, I guess. Dr. Russo is looking pretty bad right now.ReplyDelete

Interesting plot so far. Keep up the good work. :)ReplyDelete
The plot thickens! So someone's really good at forgery.ReplyDelete
So, it revealed a forgery! Ah-ha! Handwritten, would the next step be to get a handwriting sample of a suspect to have compared to the note? The only thing I think of when I see quarter is as in the expression, "to give no quarter". No area of safety and rest.ReplyDelete

I love it when documents reveal something in a mystery, when a long-standing question gets subtly answered. Wonderful post.ReplyDelete
Digging deeper. Love it.ReplyDelete
Hi Melissa - yes, they've found out important information .. which could guide them. Who was using those phones could be a salient question ...ReplyDelete
Interesting ... cheers Hilary
Hi Melissa - the clue Quarter has me floored .. but it could refer to something to do with Basketball .. but I don't think they have Quarter backs ... so I am stumped, unless it's a quarter of a piece of paper.ReplyDelete
On a slightly different subject I went to see Philip Hoffmann Seymour on Wednesday (film society) in John le Carre's "A Most Wanted Man" - and last night saw "Woman in Gold" about the Klimt painting and its restoration to its rightful owner ... whereby the young lawyer was completely instrumental in thwarting the Austrian and the American authorities in getting that judgement ... an altered will, that wasn't a will ...
So your series is sort of feeding into my imagination in many ways - I'd recommend both films ... E Randol Schoenberg is the lawyer .. now an Art recovery lawyer ... except I see in Wiki that it didn't get a particularly good write up .. but we loved it ... perhaps I look at the film in a different light ...
Cheers Hilary
Those are always impressive to me- people who can figure out if someone wrote something or not.ReplyDelete
There are a lot of conflicting things going on. I'm thinking the husband is innocent after reading this, but I could be wrong,ReplyDelete
One day he appears innocent and the next day, not so muchReplyDelete
I know. It would be too easy with my handwriting, though. it is this horrible scribble like a kidsReplyDelete
Thanks for the film recommendations. I don't ever go by the reviews because there have been far too many movies I loved with low reviews and some with the highest reviews that I didn't care too much for. SO you are finally stumped. I bet you figure it out soonReplyDelete
Thank you. This document will reveal something, but not for a few more daysReplyDelete
I know, tell me about it. X is going to be roughReplyDelete
I see that the quarter clue has stumped a few of you.ReplyDelete
I remember the fun disappearing ink.ReplyDelete
and theft, rape, oh and murder, lolReplyDelete
Thank you. it's getting tough. I am not looking forward to the day I have to post part of this little mystery for the letter X. Not really looking forward to Z either, ha haReplyDelete
How will they find out who was using those phones? How much does a pay phone cost to use these days?ReplyDelete
Glad you are keeping up. I imagine a lot of this evidence wouldn't hold up in court, but it will be sufficient for Det. Coker to figure out who the killer is and for one of you to win the grand prize.ReplyDelete
If you don't have anything nice to say ... then sit by me. Kidding. Please share your thoughts. I love comments. I dislike stalkers & trolls. If you want to ask me a direct question, please email me: sugarlaw13 at live dot com

The first time I had used them was when I locked myself out of my house, they arrived within 15 minutes and a friendly Locksmith sorted the problem out so quickly, and I was shocked at the cheap price!

I can tell you one the most important thing about myself, that I love my life and every day is a gift for me from God and I'm feeling the happiest person in the world when I receive new opportunity and new golden chance in order to make a new step towards my goal! I adore every day and every season and it's always something special and something mysterious and beautiful about every day!!!! I think that it's essential in life to respect yourself enough to walk away from anything that no longer serves you, grows you or make you happy. Many people nowadays are hunting for happiness and real love and sometimes we are blind and we cannot see the real love next to us!!! At the moment open your eyes and let's be grateful for what we have for today.
I'm interested in everything and I'm fond of sport and travelling. As every day is like a huge journey and a big trip in a new country and it's only you, who choses where to go and how to make your day! Love the stars looking in the sky and run in the nature and have interests in animals. I have a passion for literature and learning! Painting plays an important role in my life and art is what makes me feel happy and excited about my new day! I prefer going outside the city and paint the beauty of the sun and sky. Especially when we get together with my family, I love having moments for painting the time when we are together! Because this time will never come back in your life again!

So happy to share my latest kpop haul! I was waiting all summer for EXO to release their repackage so I could order them along with NCT 127's debut album. (Yes, I'm such SM trash).
I ordered these from YesAsia and was eligible for free shipping! I ordered them on 8/22, shipped on 8/23 and arrived today on 9/1. As stated before, I've ordered from YesAsia multiple times and have never had issues with them. I was surprised this time because I learned there was a tracking code! However, YesAsia doesn't email it to you. You have to log back onto your account and look for a code to be updated next to your order. I'm in shock and wonder if all my older orders all had tracking codes this entire time and I just never knew.
SM's newest boy group, NCT! I'm not a huge fan of the concept of rotating members and having an unlimited number of boys. Why SM? I told myself I wouldn't fall for them, but…it happened. It's the first time I'm following a group where all the members are younger than me (yikes!). NCT has definitely impressed me with their rappers, Taeyong and Mark. I love love their track Mad City. Mark spits out fire and he's only like 16??! As for who my bias is, it is indeed Yuta. I was lucky to get his photocard! I seriously have so much luck with getting my biases! I am not a fan of his frizzy hair here though. LOL.
I was waiting all summer for EXO! Lotto is strangely addicting. But my favorite track has to definitely be Monster. I got D.O.'s card this time. I thought it was cute how on the back he wrote "every day cheer up!" in English.
And here's the Chinese version. I do hate how I feel obligated to buy both versions of EXO's albums to show my support. That's twice the money, SM! SMH. Anyway, I got Chen this time.
Overall, very pleased to finally receive my albums. I'm looking forward to the next time I make an order. I heard Infinite and SHINee is making comebacks soon this month…so possibility? I also need to order that chateau wine lipstick that EXO sings about in Lotto…..

A new series worth reading – along with Mark's new book! See below for full details.
Mark Hailwood
This is the first in a series of posts to mark the publication of my new book, Alehouses and Good Fellowship in Early Modern England. Each post focuses on a character that features in the book, and uses them to highlight some of my key themes and arguments.
Meet our first alehouse character: Roaring Dick of Dover, the Jovial Good Fellow of Kent.
Roaring Dick is the narrator of an eponymous 1630s drinking ballad of the sort that would have been performed in, and perhaps even pasted onto the walls of, England's seventeenth-century alehouses. His message is an inviting one: join him in a toast…
"Here's a health to all good fellows,
that intend with me to join,
At the Tavern, or the Ale-house,
and will freely spend their coin.
But for such as hate strong liquor,
are not for my company,

Wild West Communications is based in North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada but works with companies and organizations throughout the world. We are experienced in inter-cultural/cross-cultural communications, and work with Canadian businesses looking at overseas markets and with clients abroad who are looking at opportunities in North America.
Our group of professionals works with your team - to deliver your message.
Our services include, but are not limited to:
A communications strategy
A few years ago it was enough to put out a newsletter and the occasional press release. And if you had a website, you were ahead of the game.
But things are constantly changing. Marketing demographics are becoming less clear cut and people's expectations are evolving faster – they expect instant information and a sense of involvement.
Your message must compete with an array of voices and choices.
The solution is to develop a dynamic, targeted approach. Nowadays you have to work simultaneously across numerous communications platforms. The newsletter has become e-news, the press release must reach bloggers as well as journalists, and the message has to go out via Facebook, Twitter and perhaps with an eye on becoming a YouTube viral sensation. Then there are brochures, rack cards and advertising. . . Developing the right strategy is essential.
Compared to the cost of running a television advertising campaign, social media and other tools for community involvement add value whatever your budget.
As an independent agency, Wild West Communications offers a bespoke service that meets the specific needs of each client, rather than relying on a one-size fits all formula.


text: Here is a photo from a fundraising event I did caricatures at. "Girl's Night Out" holds an event every year in support of a local charity organization (Cancertacular was the organization this year). Here is one snapshot I took during the night. It being a worthy cause, I donated a percentage from the caricatures to Cancertacular and got that warm fuzzy feeling, and on top of that I had a good time!

ASAP Semiconductor Is ISO 9001:2008 & ASA-100 Certified
Sikorsky has announced today that a second CH-53K helicopter has achieved its first flight, and is now part of their flight test program. The Lockheed Martin-owned company added that the helicopter it is joining in the program has expanded its flight envelope to 120 knots as part of the King Stallion heavy lift helicopter program.
Adding a second aircraft into flight status signifies another milestone for the CH-53K program.
said Sikorsky's vice president of CH-53K Programs.
Mike Torok also said,
With both aircraft in flight test, our flight envelope expansion efforts will accelerate as we continue to make good progress toward our initial operational test assessment and full aircraft system qualification.
The United States Marine Corps mandates that these tests be passed before it can be added to their fleet. They are looking to add two more of these choppers before they can complete qualification. This heavy lift program testing period will last an estimated three years. They plan to have a total of ten squadrons that use this helicopter when it is all said and done.
It is exciting to have two CH-53K helicopters flying. said Col. Hank Vanderborght, U.S. Marine Corps program manager for Heavy Lift Helicopters said,Our program continues on pace to deploy this incredible heavy lift capability to our war-fighters.
The two helicopters made their first flights just three months apart – the first in October of last year, and the second in late January of 2016. Together, they have amassed nearly a day and a half of total flight time – this has included test runs from current Marine Corps helicopter pilots.
Some of the cool new features that this model has included upgraded rotor blades with anhedral tips, a more neatly designed cockpit, fly-by-wire flight controls, upgraded cargo and handling capabilities, better survivability and reliability, a low maintenance elastomeric rotor head, as well as upgraded engines.ASAP Semiconductor is a leading supplier of Aerospace Industry Parts and has the resources to supply an array of aircraft products.

Yes, it is the weekend before Christmas and I am almost done the second sweater. I started randomly weaving in ends since I forgot the pattern a couple of times while I was working on it away from home, and knitting up the collar.
I've been making a lot of mistakes at work lately (wandering mind I guess) and have been triple checking my work, and going back over things I've done in the past weeks. I guess I carried that over into my knitting on my lunch break because I went back through the pattern, colored the measurements I was working to (as I should have done at the beginning) and found out, oh dear! I made both sleeves 2" too long! Well, patting myself on the back for finding the mistake, and shaking my own hand for deciding that yes, I DO have to fix that before Christmas. A two-year-old's sleeves don't need to hang over her fingertips.
So at this point both sleeves are done, again, and I'm about halfway through the collar, shoulder seams joined. Must finish the collar, sew on sleeves, sew up side seams, and finish weaving in ends. Not so bad, definitely will finish by Christmas gifting time.
My next project I think will be the helmet liner. I wonder if I can finish it in a week's time? My buddy Mike is at home until January 2, I'd like to have him take it back with him. I guess I'll find out.

Harley Davidson trademarked the word lightning in Europe under a classification that included a variety of products. Apple began using the word in association with the "lightning" cable to USB connection for the Iphone 5 and Ipad 3 docking port. In late 2012, Harley Davidson reached an agreement with Apple to allow Apple to use the word lightning in Europe. Details of the agreement weren't made public so we can only speculate exactly why this deal was made. The purpose of trademark is to identify the source of goods and it would seem quite possible that both companies could use the term lightning in association with their products without much chance for consumer confusion as to the actual source. Let's face it, the companies do project and promote slightly different images.
Why would Apple buy a Harley Davidson Trademark?
Apple iPad Mini Trademark - Approved? Maybe
The United Stated Patent and Trademark Office has issued a retraction of the previous Action and now states that Apple might be awarded its trademark (though it still must overcome some earlier filings by others using the term "mini") if it takes particular actions. While I did state in an earlier blog that Apple's overcoming of the term "mini" as being descriptive would be difficult, there was one important caveat I didn't mention and that was Apple's ability to link the term to "Ipad." What the attorney for Apple ultimately did was to amend the trademark application to indicate that Apple makes no claim to the exclusive right to use the term "mini" apart from its usage in association with the term "Ipad." That is, Apple will forever connect the terms together as filed, i.e. "IPAD MINI," and there would be no infringement if someone else uses the term "mini" by itself or in conjunction with another term which is not confusingly similar to "Ipad."
Why was Apple's trademark rejected for the iPad Mini?
Apple has recently run afoul of the "descriptive" moniker assigned by United States Trademark Examiners when an applicant for trademark uses a term that the Examiner believes is only descriptive in nature. In this case, Apple applied for the trademark "Ipad Mini" and the Examiner is currently rejecting that mark (I say currently since Apple can and will argue against this rejection) because the term "mini" is descriptive in nature only and does not add to the distinctiveness of the overall mark.
The Legal Issues Standing in the Way of a Flappy Bird Return
In one of the latest copyright issues to hit Apple, Flappy Bird's creator, Dong Nguyen, has been thinking about bringing back Flappy Bird - however, even if he wants to, copyright law and a clause in Apple's developer agreement might make that difficult to do. It wasn't until this week that Nguyen spoke with Rolling Stone about his desire to potentially bring the game back.

My weekend was filled with amazement and joy. It's been such a long time since I've had a full weekend of activity. I traveled to Inman Park Festival and to a county fair. Jannah and I were exhausted with joy!
Inman Park Festival was truly a festive and rejuvenating experience. From the music to the acrobatic entertainment, it was phenomenal! My niece, Jannah and I were drawn to the music of the Seed & Feed Marching Abominable band. What a delight they were! They were eccentrically dressed in the colors of red, yellow and gold with hats, fish net stockings, boots and other interesting paraphernalia. I smiled with excitement because I could feel their presence of letting go. They were letting go of how society says they should be or how they should dress – their jobs – their perceptions – the audience perceptions and anything in society with structure and form. Inspired, I secretly and openly said, I accept!
So, all weekend I've had this feeling of freedom and inner peace. Just when I'm comfortable and excited about the peace I've gained in my lifetime, I've reached a new level of inner peace. Since this past Saturday, I dressed a little bit differently and allowed me to just BE a little more boldly. I know that my ESSENCE is driving my ability to stay present. I'm so thankful!
I challenge all of you to do something just a little bit differently today. Wear a color that you never thought of wearing. Extend a hand to a stranger with a smile just because. Get the hair color that you once wanted as a teenager. Be radically free! You – your essence – is beautiful! Let's live our lives like there is no tomorrow because our power is now!Who or what inspires you?
Sending you radical love and positive energy! Accept it, radically! (smile)
Here are some photos from the weekend in order… Enjoy!
Happy Inspirational Monday!

Subject: Re: Please tell me...
Phillip - many, many thanks for this very thoughtful contribution to an
important topic. Another reform I believe would have enormous implications
is that the dean should not be part of the "administration". He or she
will be responsible for negotiating the Faculty budget but s/he will spend
her time on the academic concerns of her Faculty and not on the committees
and politics of "restructuring" and fund-raising.

The official website for the Reliant Motor Club
RMC YouTube Channel
Reliant films available on the RMC YouTube channel:
Reliant Export Story (1967)
In 1967 a short BBC film was made about Reliant and its Export business of the Anadol and Regal. This film was then destroyed and no copies were known to have existed until Elvis Payne found a copy in 1992 on 16mm film belonging to Derrick Smith who used to work at Reliant. Derrick then lent Elvis the film and a friend of his, Mike Redwick Jones, then borrowed it from him to convert it to VHS. They found out that it was actually a BBC story and so the BBC said they would convert to to VHS if they could keep a copy for their archive. And so, 4 copies were made of the film. One, of which the BBC kept, and Elvis Payne, Mike Redwick Jones and Derrick Smith had one each. Sections of the film have since appeared on the BBC program "Top Gear" and the BBC documentary "Trouble at the Top".The film shows some fantastic footage of the Reliant Regal 3/25 being manufactured and also features the Reliant Ant and briefly covers the 4-wheeled Scimitar and Anadol. The digitised version on YouTube has been straight from one of the VHS master copies.
Click image to launch video
Foundation for the Future (1970s)
This film fron the early 1970s by the Reliant Cine Club shows Reliant during its time of expansion. At the time a new Robin Assembly hall was built with plans for another for the Scimitar that didn't actually go ahead. In addition to the expansion at that time, it also offers a glimpse into factory life and the Reliant Robin that had just been introduced,. Converted from 16mm film to VHS and then DVD, the quality has suffered a little although it still makes an interesting feature. Our thanks to Kate Pointon for providing a copy of this film.
Reliant's Royal Occassion (1975)
Filmed by the Reliant Cine Club in July 1975, this film documents the visit of HRH Princess Anne to Reliant. During her visit, Princess Anne visited the sites at Two Gates, Kettlebrook and Shenstone.Converted from 16mm film to VHS and then DVD, the quality has suffered a little although it still captures what was a great day for Reliant. Our thanks to Kate Pointon for providing a copy of this film.
World of Reliant (1980s)
A rather interesting film from the 1980s by Reliant showing seveal vehicles including the Fox, Rialto and Scimitar along with other projects like the Lucas Hybrid. It also offers a fairly indepth over view of the manufacturing process showing the body been hand layed, parts being pressed and mechanical components being assembled.
The film is copied from a VHS master copy that was salvaged from the Reliant offices by ex-Reliant worker, Troy Walton. The quality however is still a bit dubious in places as the original version was filmed on 16mm tape and so quality has been lost converting it to VHS. So much so the VHS master copies has a label indicating the quality as "acceptable".
Reliant Blue Plaque (2017)
The Reliant Motor Club is delighted that on Saturday 8th July 2017 we achieved one of our primary ambitions to see a blue plaque unveiled at Tom Williams' (Reliant co-founder) former residence at Bro-Dawel on the Kettlebrook Road in Tamworth. It was here that the first Reliant prototype was built in 1934 and so the plaque both commemorates the birth place of Reliant and pays tribute to its founders.
Prior to the unveiling by Charlotte Oliver, Caroline Payne and Barrie Wills from the RMC along with Margaret Clarke from the Tamworth Heritage Trust made a speech. This is a smal video of the speeches and the unveiling.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Global Flexible Lid Stock Packaging Market 2018-2022" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The Global Flexible Lid Stock Packaging Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.2% during the period 2018-2022.
The report has been prepared based on an in-depth market analysis with inputs from industry experts. The report covers the market landscape and its growth prospects over the coming years. The report also includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market.
One trend affecting this market is the increasing popularity of small serving sizes. The focus on health, convenience, and environmental sustainability among consumers is growing worldwide. For example, concern among consumers about the effect of portion sizes on the overall intake of calories and its impact on their weight is increasing, which is, in turn, leading customers to reconsider the portion size of their meals.
According to the report, one driver influencing this market is the growing demand for MAP in flexible packaging. Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) is also known as atmospheric protective packaging and reduced oxygen packaging. It helps to maintain the nutritional and visual appeal of the less processed and fresh food to extend their shelf life, without using chemical preservatives.
Further, the report states that one challenge affecting this market is the stringent government regulations on the reduction of packaging waste. The flexible food packaging market is growing rapidly because of the growing demand for convenient packaging from customers. However, the growth of the flexible packaging market is accompanied by a similar increase in global concerns regarding waste disposal and plastic recycling, which are also rising rapidly.

For a century, economists have driven forward the cause of globalization in financial institutions, labour markets, and trade. Yet there have been consistent warning signs that a global economy and free trade might not always be advantageous. Where are the pressure points? What could be done about them? Dani Rodrik examines the back-story from its seventeenth-century origins through the milestones of the gold standard, the Bretton Woods Agreement, and the Washington Consensus, to the present day. Although economic globalization has enabled unprecedented levels of prosperity in advanced countries and has been a boon to hundreds of millions of poor workers in China and elsewhere in Asia, it is a concept that rests on shaky pillars, he contends. Its long-term sustainability is not a given. The heart of Rodrik's argument is a fundamental 'trilemma': that we cannot simultaneously pursue democracy, national self-determination, and economic globalization. Give too much power to governments, and you have protectionism. Give markets too much freedom, and you have an unstable world economy with little social and political support from those it is supposed to help. Rodrik argues for smart globalization, not maximum globalization.

Constructor Overloading
A class shall have several constructors, provided they have different signatures. As we know, the signature of a constructor is a combination of its name and the sequence of its parameter types. The names of all the constructors of a class should be same as the name of that class. Therefore the overloaded constructors should necessarily have different sequences of parameter types. The following program illustrates constructor overloading.
class Data{ Data() { System.out.println("Constructor without Parameter"); } Data(int i) { System.out.println("Constructor with Integer"); } Data(String str) { System.out.println("Constructor with String"); } } public class Javaapp { public static void main(String[] args) { Data d1 = new Data(); Data d2 = new Data(15); Data d3 = new Data("String"); } }

"After completing my first opera, Emmeline (1996), a human tragedy, I longed to write something about the inhabitants of a very different world. Fantastic Mr. Fox is an opera for ages five through one hundred and five. I began reading Roald Dahl when I was eight years old, and I have come to relish the unique sense of humor and to know of his compassion for children. And so it is a perfect joy for me to be able to write an opera to Donald Sturrock's libretto, which sparkles with wit and love and tells a story that has reawakened the child in me." –Tobias Picker on composing Fantastic Mr. Fox (1998)
Fantastic Mr. Fox had its world premiere at LA Opera in 1998. Based on the popular Roald Dahl story, the opera starred Gerald Finley as the titular character. When his family of foxes is threatened by a group of farmers, Mr. Fox and his animal friends take revenge by causing mayhem in the farmyards.

What am I talking about?
Well, most of you are Recipe Records Cookbooks fans and are aware of one of the hippest features for the books: The Suggested Song List
My late friend and co-author, Maggie McHugh and I, cleverly combined our rock and roll recipes with music. The great addition to the cookbook was the suggested song list contained on each layout. To me, THAT is the greatest part of the book. I always said it was about the music. But, the recipes, stories and trivia are pretty spectacular, too :)
Beam me up, Scotty.
Well, Alexa was given to me as a gift by Ms. Kessler and I was not sure at first if this was a path I should walk. Note: Do not say "record" and "Alexa" in the same conversation (or same room for that matter, trust me). But I soon found out that while I am slicing and dicing, I can tell Amazon's AI tool, Alexa, to play The Meters, or Otis Redding, or opera music. I can ask her to turn up the volume, or turn it down.
Inject Recipe Records Suggested Song Lists:
Ms. Kessler pointed out to me that while you are making a recipe out of one of the cookbooks, you can ask Alexa to play each song on the Suggested Song List.
This is what Maggie and I had in mind some 10 years ago when we wrote the first cookbook. We wanted you to enjoy the music and the food. So, get those Recipe Records Cookbooks out and turn up THE BEAT in your kitchen today!

I've started a new initiative for the blog. The idea struck me as I was cruising through Sandra Juto's blog and came across her One Photo Every Hour, Monday post. What I love about Sandra's photography is that she captures the little things in life- a balcony, a flower, a crack in a teacup- and she has such an authentic point of view which she charmingly communicates both verbally and visually. Reading her posts makes me wish I could join her for an eight hour-long walk through Berlin.
As I look for projects and work here in the UK, I sometimes feel as if my life isn't as interesting as it was in Boston, where I was surrounded by inspiring friends, colleagues and clients. Of course, it's my job to make my life interesting, so I've decided to challenge myself every Tuesday to take one photo on the hour for every hour that I'm awake. I will give myself one minute to take the photo (from the time the clock hits x:00 to x:01) and will try my best to make the most of where I am and focus my lens on something interesting.
Yesterday was my first attempt at my new challenge. Some of the photos are okay, and a lot of them are terrible but I'm excited to train my eye and get better at this exercise as each week goes by. Not only does it inspire me to find beauty wherever I am, it also inspires me to do things that are beautiful so you lot don't think I'm the most boring person on earth every Wednesdays when I post my photos. So let's begin, shall we?
I don't, either.

Has the world learnt its lessons?
In 1994 over 500,000 men, women and children were slaughtered over the course of 6 months in the tiny African nation of Rwanda. It remains one of the most notorious ethnic and political genocides in modern history. Less than 24 hours ago French troops marched into the Central African Republic to prevent what they claim could easily be a second Rwanda. Where France failed so mightily in 1994 there is now a chance for the country to redeem itself in another Francophone nation, but is it up to the task?
France currently has a little over 8,000 troops deployed throughout Africa, with that number set to rise as the deployment in the CAR escalates. The European nation also had a large and ongoing deployment in north Mali fighting the Islamic insurgency. France has a long (and some would say chequered) history of intervention in its old colonial empire. The term "Françafrique" was coined to refer to France's neo-colonial practise of intervention (economically and militarily) in its old colonies since decolonization in the 1960s. Naturally another French military engagement in the region has raised some eyebrows: is Hollande's government returning to the Françafrique largely put on hold under President Sarkozy?
The irony might be that France is just intervening to stop what is a rapidly escalating Muslim-Christian sectarian conflict in a nation it feels it has some responsibility for. And the possibility of a bloodbath is very real. Since the ousting of the Republic's President François Bozizé in March by predominantly Muslim rebel forces the country has slowly spiralled into chaos; in November Christian and Muslim militias escalated their attacks and this week hundreds of civilians were murdered in the country's capital of Bangui, the trigger for French intervention. There is a very real possibility of further mass killings unless the situation stabilizes.
So how best can the safety of the Central African Republic's citizens and the stability of the nation as a whole be ensured? Victory against entrenched insurgent forces and ad-hoc militia is never easy to obtain, even less so in hostile territory. It is also difficult to say who should lead the divided republic: the outside President whose alleged failure to honour peace deals caused this latest round of conflict? The new President and coalition leader of the rebellion Michel Djotodia whose government has increasingly lost control of rebel troops? Or perhaps a neutral party? It is imperative that the international community (France in particular) choose a leader acceptable to all relevant parties, trying to boost someone disapproved of by one side would almost certainly lead to further conflict. As for military victory, France and other international peacekeepers need to work out what their objectives are, and fast. In the short term maintaining law and order within the country's cities is a good start, but any lasting stability will require much more.
This is France and the world's chance to prove that large scale sectarian killings can and will be stopped by swift international intervention. The world and the people of the Central African Republic will be watching, and lives are on the line.

After a couple of times of bringing with me my tripod on hikes and to a lot of places, I recently noticed that my travel tripod basically works excellent in my studio but not really that good outdoors. My old tripods' design was really simple without anything special to it and it was really light. I was on a Photoshop seminar last year and the speaker Scott Kelby said that there are basically two types of tripods...one that is portable and one that actually works. Remembering what he said, I realized that my travel tripod is the portable one. The thing that is missing from my old tripod is the stability, and also the speed in changing the configuration of it, from standard to shooting macro.
I was again looking online for the best tripod for the price. Now I was ready to go into spending more on a professional or a semi pro tripod. One that will give me the stability that I need without me breaking the bank. I found some huge ones that I wouldn't question the stability features on it, but they weren't that portable to bring around anywhere. So I went to the friendly vendors outside the country to look at what they had to offer. I was once again looking at the HorusBennu tripods form Korea. They had some good ones for the price but I cannot afford to wait another 2 or 3 weeks as I needed a tripod really soon.
So I once went again to the BH photo website, and I found the Manfrotto 190XPROB Pro Aluminum Tripod Legs. At first it looked like any other tripod without anything special to them, until I saw a review in youtube. The review was pretty sweet as it showed the tripod transforming from the usual position to the macro position in like 4 seconds, without even removing the center column. So I decided to get one.
A usual, BH photo is excellent so I got my tripod in 3 days! Here are my impressions:
The tripod is heavier than the travel tripods...a plus for me for stability.
It is constructed with aluminum...feels really sturdy.
The 3 section legs are longer than my old 4 section tripod which makes the folded length longer, but it makes the tripod faster to setup.
The leg locks are really snappy and they just feel awesome.
Repositioning the legs at a different angle is easier due to the button release instead of pulling the locks on top of each leg.
The bag hook works great for hooking up weights to make the tripod more stable.
The tripod head base is big...giving me the feeling of better stability.
A couple of inches longer than my travel tripod, but still is pretty portable.
And the most impressive feature of course is the patented center column feature which enables you to position the center column horizontally or vertically without disassembling the center piece. That was the feature that made me decide to buy this!
I tried it out with a gripped 50d with a 70-200 2.8 lens installed and it felt really solid.
For almost the same price as a Chinese made carbon fiber tripod, I'd choose this one still. The features for the price is really unbeatable. The best thing is that, it is made of course by Manfrotto.
Instead of getting a cheap travel sized tripod for like $50 less, I suggest you spend more on this one. You'll never regret it.
Get it here!

NAPA, Calif. — Brendan Steele opened his Safeway Open title defense Thursday with a 7-under 65 for a share of the lead with Tyler Duncan and Tom Hoge in the PGA Tour's season opener.
Lucas Glover, Chez Reavie, Emiliano Grillo and Jamie Lovemark were two shots back at 67.
Steele had an eagle, six birdies and a bogey. Last year at Silverado, he birdied the final three holes to overcome a four-shot deficit and beat Patton Kizzire by a stroke for his second PGA Tour title.

Sa'eed Nelson returns for highly-anticipated sophomore season
Nelson likely to shoulder heavy burden with nine new faces on team
Sophomore point guard Sa'eed Nelson had a lot of responsibility as a first-year player last season for the men's basketball team. Nelson consistently led the team in almost all statistical categories every game, and quickly emerged as a leader.
And as the 2017 season kicks into full gear, Nelson remains one of the few holdovers from an Eagles team that looks much different than the one that took the court 12 months ago. He's likely to bear even more responsibility as a sophomore.
Nelson ranked highly in the NCAA in many statistical categories last season, including averaging the third most minutes per game (37.5) in the nation. As a true freshman, Nelson started all 30 games at point guard and led the Eagles in scoring with 14.9 points per game.
At the end of the season, Nelson earned a spot on the Patriot League All-Rookie Team for his performance in his first collegiate season. However, the amount of time spent on the court combined with leading the team took a toll on Nelson, he said.
"Freshman year was definitely different from high school. The change of speed of the game is different, practicing longer, and lifting in general. We didn't do that in high school," Nelson said. "It was just a rough season, a long season. It was different for my experience and a new type of feel."
Despite Nelson's breakout statistical season, AU struggled collectively. The team lost senior center Leon Tolksdorf to a knee injury early in the season, limiting the team's frontcourt depth. Injuries forced 6-5 senior Charlie Jones to play center for long durations during the season and AU ranked 346th out 351 Division I schools in points scored per game.
Nelson and freshman Mark Gasperini were both bright spots for Brennan, whose team finished with an 8-22 record and ninth out of ten teams in the Patriot League. AU isn't predicted to do much better this season -- the Patriot League preseason poll, which surveys the conference's head coaches and sports information directors, predicted that the Eagles will finish ninth again, coming out ahead of last place Lafayette.
Despite the challenges facing the team, Nelson is looking to build and learn from the lessons of his freshman year and help the Eagles achieve more success in the 2017-18 season.
"This season, we're more prepared for it," Nelson said. "We've got a lot of new guys, new faces, freshmen on the team. I think they are ready for it [the season]. So I think it will be a good season."
Nelson, Gasperini, junior forward Matt Cimino and junior guard James Washington are the only returning players who played a significant role in the 2016 season. Delante Jones, Lonnie Rivera, Andrija Matic and Alex Paquin all transferred from the program in the offseason, leaving the Eagles roster bare heading into the summer months. Brennan's team will feature seven freshmen and is one of four teams in Division I basketball without a senior on its roster.
Nelson knows, even as a sophomore, that he will be expected to serve as a leader for the younger players on the team. Freshmen Jesse Little, Sam Iorio, Drew Lamont and junior transfer Cheikh Diallo will all be in a similar position to Nelson a season ago and expected to contribute heavily in their first season with the Eagles.
While he acknowledges how unusual it is for a team to have so many young players on the roster, Nelson is excited for what the new faces can offer for the Eagles in the season ahead.
"It was a little different [to have so many new players]. It was still refreshing, with them coming into their freshman year, they're going through what we went through," Nelson said. "I'm glad we got this new bunch, they're really good as a group."
Based on Nelson's performance as a freshman, Brennan has a higher set of expectations for his point guard. He is looking for Nelson to serve as a resource for the younger players and lead by example on the court.
"I tell him [Nelson] all the time that I don't view him as a sophomore. You know, he's experienced enough, where he should be like an upperclass-type leader," Brennan said. "He's been doing a good job with that, helping young guys with the offense and through practice."
Brennan hopes Nelson can help the new players by offering his knowledge, having gone through similar experiences less than a year ago. This leadership will prove crucial, as the inexperience on the Eagles roster likely means several freshmen will play a meaningful role for the team this season.
"I think they will all contribute at some point, so it's just a matter of everyone continuing to improve each day," Brennan said. "You know, they won't know when their time is coming, but when it comes, I know they will be ready."
Despite the high expectations for his sophomore season, Nelson said he is ready to get out on the court and do what comes most naturally to him: playing the game he loves.
"I haven't played since the last game of last season. I just want to get out there and play again and travel again," Nelson said. "It's exciting to me to travel and play games in new places."

As time is a constant, unchanging variable, the idea of having great "time management" skills seems unreal. While being able to get things accomplished promptly is always the goal, there are so many distractions that often take the focus off of what needs to be done. For those who like working under pressure, procrastination is their best friend and their worst enemy. And for those who thrive off getting things done, making work easier seems to be more of a luxury than a necessity. Shortly put, there is no way you can manage time, but you can manage yourself.
A common misconception of time is that it cannot work in favor of those who watch it. This can be true in some cases; however, when proper planning precedes action, the use of allotted time can be maximized according to your plans.
If you seem to struggle with having more to do than you have time, here are three tips you can being to implement today to make better use of your productive time.
1. Work with a to-do list.
Nothing motivates you more than looking at your list of things to do and seeing things get crossed off of it. Crossing tasks off your list tell your mind that you are getting things done. It also prompts you to continue working because finishing your list seems more attainable with three things left to do rather than five.
2. Work in one-hour increments.
Technology can be used for many things from socializing to entertainment, but one of its best uses is to tell you when to step away from work. If you have an Apple watch, you can set it to remind you to take as little as one minute every few hours to center yourself and breathe. If you have a Fitbit, it too can be set to remind you to get up and take a few steps. Not only does this help your mind relax, but it helps you focus your attention and energy on how you feel instead of how much work you have to get done.
3. Work in a place that inspires you.
You may not be able to choose where you work every day, but you can set the tone for your work environment. If you stare at blank walls, put up pictures of people or places that make you smile. If you can design your workspace any way you'd like, add subtle decorations that display your individuality. When you are in a space that you like, work gets a little easier because you can pull from what you see around you to help focus and center you.
Productivity is a must, not only at work but in your personal life as well. One of the most important things you can do for your sanity is to be productive when productivity call and to relax when relaxation is needed. No matter what, go into work mode knowing what you have to do and be ready to get it done.

Stock indexes were sharply lower today. On the chart above I drew a red line from the buying tail on the candle from Aug 16th. That had been an area of some support in late November, and it seemed that the market was trying to reject that area over the last week or so. But the reversal down today seems to be negating that idea. Momentum had been up, so with the trend firmly down my thought was that prices could get a little closer to the blue moving average lines, and if so, momentum could get back into the overbought zone which would have been a good area to go short. There seems to be little chance of this now. The overall trend and price structure is much more important than the short term momentum. Unless this reverses back up quickly it looks like another leg down could occur. However, with the momentum (black line in subgraph) turning down from an already low level I will tread carefully on the short side. Sometime if the market is very week all you get is a hook of the overbought line by the white line, which is a five period double stochastic (black line is 10 period). I need to replace my bucking bronco bull in the upper left corner with a bucking bear, but I can't find one. But then there's photoshop. I'll see what I can do.
Gold is absurdly overbought and did have a slight Tuesday turn-around day. It spiked up to a new high, then finally sold off a bit into the close of the Comex session, and then fell back under the $900 level after the Comex close. A good clue of a possible top was when CNBC broadcast a segment from the Comex floor. Also, there were many gold analysts giving their bullish opinions as to why this is a great time to enter the gold market, and then gave all the reasons why gold has already moved from $300 to $700 or so as if that's the reason why it should go from $900 to $1200 or $2000 or whatever. Only one guy I heard tried to put some common sense on the air, but was mostly ignored by the reporter. But I didn't listen to CNBC all day so don't know all of what was said. I just think this market is very one sided to the bull side and fundamentals don't justify this price. Recession is certainly not a reason for a high gold price. Perhaps the perception that the feed will push rates down to 1% again and not just trash but destroy the dollar is what is keeping the price where it is. I suspect it is mostly driven by speculators and hedge funds and the public piling into the etfs. I'm a long term bull on gold, but prefer to be in when CNBC isn't reporting from the Comex floor. The Baltic Dry Index was down a little over $300 again today. The FXI China etf was down sharply today.
