Holidays by British Airways
For the best deal book your flight and hotel together.
For the best deal book your flight and hotel together.
Good for either a city break or the start of a longer journey through Russia, St. Petersburg holidays offer historic and natural beauty in a city that's both the largest and liveliest anywhere this far north in the world.
Home at various times to Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, Tchaikovsky and Lenin, this city of five million still boasts the best of Russian culture, with exquisite architecture, superb opera and ballet. Built to a grand urban plan, from the Russian Revolution to the Nazi siege of what was then Leningrad, St. Petersburg has witnessed some of the most dramatic world events of the past century. It's not all art and history in here, however. Children love trips on the city's rivers and canals, while bohemian bar areas such as Dumskaya Street often pulse with life until morning. Russia's new wealth is clearly visible in the designer shops and boutique-filled passages of upper Nevsky Prospekt, and more down to earth Maltevsky Market is a great, largely tourist-free spot for watching locals. Outside the city are suburban palaces such as Peterhof and Gatchina, the little visited expanse of Lake Ladoga, and Pskov and Novgorod, among Russia's oldest, best preserved small cities. While visitors arrive year round, holidays to St. Petersburg are especially popular during late June's white nights, when mild weather and almost total day-round sunlight brings Petersburgers onto the streets to socialise 24 hours a day.

A government planning consultation launched last week suggests planning fees could be refunded for applications where a decision takes longer than 26 weeks
The consultation entitled Planning performance and the planning guarantee, aims to introduce a planning guarantee, which would enforce statutory timescales and ensure authorities not complying are monitored.
The principle of the planning guarantee states that 'no planning application – major or otherwise – should take more than a year to decide, even where a planning appeal has been made.'
The move is aimed at speeding up the planning process and in turn stimulating growth in the construction sector.
It will not replace the statutory time limits which currently stand at 13 weeks for major applications and 8 weeks for all others.
Last year 78 per cent of all planning applications were decided within the statutory time limit. Yet the consultation document suggests that the number of major applications decided within the current 13 week time period has fallen from 71 per cent to 57 per cent in the last 3 years.
If these proposals go ahead the legislation should come in to play in October 2013.

Joe Lutkenhaus wins the prestigious Horwitz Prize
September 27, 2012
Joe Lutkenhaus, Ph.D., a Distinguished Professor of microbiology, molecular genetics and immunology at the University of Kansas Medical Center, has been named one of three winners of the 2012 Louisa Gross Horwitz Prize by Columbia University in recognition of his work to understand the intricate, dynamic, and three-dimensional organization of bacterial cells.
Lutkenhaus shares this year's prize with Richard M. Losick, Ph.D., the Maria Moors Cabot Professor of Biology at Harvard University, and Lucy Shapiro, Ph.D., the Virginia and D.K. Ludwig Chair in Cancer Research in the Department of Developmental Biology at the Stanford University School of Medicine.
Established in 1967, the Horwitz Prize is Columbia University's top honor for achievement in biological and biochemistry research, and is widely considered a precursor to the Nobel Prize. Of the 87 Horwitz Prize winners to date, 42 have gone on to receive Nobels."We congratulate Drs. Losick, Lutkenhaus and Shapiro on their important work that has expanded understanding of the life of a cell and are pleased to award them our 2012 Horwitz Prize," said Lee Goldman, M.D., dean of the faculties of health sciences and medicine at Columbia University Medical Center and executive vice president for health and biomedical sciences at Columbia University, in a news release. "In this 45th year since the prize was established, these awardees join an elite group of scientists who have contributed greatly to the basic science that is the foundation of efforts to better understand diseases, develop new treatments, and improve the lives of patients."
"The research of these three superb pioneers has led to major insights into the biochemistry and molecular biology of the living cell. It has helped establish the simple bacterial cell as one of the most powerful models for understanding the cycle of cell life and death," said Gerard Karsenty, M.D., Ph.D., chair of the Horwitz Prize Committee and chair of the Department of Genetics and Development at Columbia University Medical Center.

Handbook Sections
Other Information
Unemployment Insurance Handbook for Employers (UCB-201-P)
Section 2 - Tax
PART 1 - Establishing Coverage
As an employer of one or more individuals in Wisconsin, you are required to maintain employment records that will permit an accurate determination of your Unemployment Insurance (UI) tax liability. If requested, you must submit reports to establish if you are a covered employer and/or your contribution liability.
You are required to pay UI contributions on your payroll after you've met the statutory coverage liability. Not all employers are "covered" employers. Those that do not meet the coverage requirements or maintain only excluded employment are not subject to the UI law.
A. Determining Coverage Liability
As an employer, you become "covered" and incur tax liability if you meet any one of the following conditions:
- Conditions Exclusive to Qualified Settlement Fund (QSF):
- Qualified Settlement Funds (QSF) can not be employers. No services are performed by any employees involved in the settlement for the QSF and the settlement fund cannot be considered the employer.
- Settlement wages must be allocated to and reported by the appropriate employer(s) involved in the settlement.
- Do not register the QSF as an employer under New Employer Registration.
- Conditions Exclusive to Commercial Employers:
- You paid wages of $1,500 or more in a quarter in any calendar year or;
- You employed one or more individuals in employment for some part of a day in 20 or more weeks in any calendar year. The weeks need not be consecutive and part-time employees must be included in the employee count.
- Conditions Exclusive to Agricultural Employers:
- You paid cash wages for agricultural labor of $20,000 or more in a quarter in any calendar year or;
- You employed ten or more individuals in agricultural labor for some part of a day in 20 or more weeks of any calendar year.
- Conditions Exclusive to Domestic Employers:
- You paid cash wages of $1,000 or more in a quarter for domestic service in any calendar year.
- Conditions Exclusive to Nonprofit Employers:
- You are a nonprofit organization described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and you employed four or more individuals on a day in 20 or more weeks in any calendar year.
- Other nonprofit organizations (i.e., non 501(c)(3)) fall under the commercial employer's conditions for liability (see Conditions Exclusive to Commercial Employers above).
- Conditions Exclusive to Government Employers:
- Government employers have mandatory coverage.
- General Conditions Under Which ANY Employer Will Be Liable for UI Taxes:
- You've paid any wages for Wisconsin employment and you have a liability for that year under the Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA) or;
- You've taken over part or all of the business of an employer already covered under the law (see Part 6: Business Transfers and Taking over a UI Account) or;
- You have no liability by law, but you voluntarily elected to become a covered employer (with the department's approval).
B. How to Establish Compliance
If you think you meet the above conditions or you expect to in the near future, you can complete a new employer registration form on-line:
- Go to http://dwd.wisconsin.gov/uitax.
- Click "New Employer Registration" link.
C. Reimbursement Financing
Governmental units, certain nonprofit organizations, and Indian Tribes can choose between the tax and reimbursement methods of financing unemployment benefit costs. (Only nonprofit organizations with a ruling of an IRS Code 501(c)(3) status can elect reimbursement financing.)
Tax financing employers pay a quarterly unemployment tax on the wages paid to their employees. Reimbursement financing employers do not pay a quarterly tax, although they must still file the quarterly tax and wage reports. Instead, they reimburse the department for 100% of the unemployment benefits charged to their account.
Form UCT-14384-1-E "Benefit Charges and Adjustments" is sent at the end of each period in which there have been benefit payments and/or adjustments debited or credited to the reimbursable employer's account. Depending on the reimbursable employer's account activity you could receive up to 4 statements in a month. The first or last statement of the month could be for more or less than 7 days to insure that only 4 statements are sent each month. See Example of UCT-14384-1-E.
Monthly billing statements (Form UCT-14309-E "Reimbursable Employer Statement") are sent at the beginning of the following month showing the employer's balance at the end of the prior month and a summary of the "Benefit Charges and Adjustments" statements sent during the month. See Example of UCT-14309-E.
Accounts for nonprofit organizations and Indian tribes are normally set up on the tax financing method but reimbursement financing can be elected. Accounts for governmental units are initially set up on the reimbursement financing method but tax financing can be elected.
Nonprofit employers electing reimbursement financing must file an assurance of reimbursement with the department. The assurance can be in the form of a surety bond, letter of credit, certificate of deposit, or any other nonnegotiable instrument of fixed value.
The employer's original assurance has to cover the 5-year period starting from the beginning of the year in which the employer's reimbursement financing election takes effect. The amount of the assurance must be at least equal to 4% of the employer's taxable wages for the past calendar year or projected payroll if larger. The adequacy of the assurance amount is redetermined every other year. If the employer ceases business or converts to tax financing, the assurance must remain in effect for up to 2 1/2 years to cover the period of benefit claim liability. At the end of this period, the assurance is returned to the employer.
Certain non-profit employers electing reimbursement financing may be subject to an annual assessment for payment of uncollectible benefit reimbursements due from employers no longer in business. The assessment will only be made in years where the amount of uncollectible debts exceeds $5,000. The total assessment against all employers is limited to no more than $200,000 annually.
When a governmental unit, nonprofit organization or Indian Tribe chooses to convert to reimbursement financing, the positive or negative balance in their account remains in the Unemployment Reserve Fund and is transferred to the Fund's balancing account.
A government unit, nonprofit organization or Indian Tribe interested in obtaining further information about reimbursement financing should contact us at:
- Email: email@example.com
- Telephone: 608-266-9989
- Deaf, hearing or speech-impaired callers may dial 7-1-1 for Wisconsin Relay Service

Picture: Lorraine Kelly outside the ITV studios carrying a copy of The Sun newspaper London, England - 05.11.12
Irish singer Bernie Nolan has apologised to U.K. Tv presenter Lorraine Kelly for hiding her cancer battle during an interview last month (Oct12).
The Nolans star made an appearance on Kelly's morning show to promote Breast Cancer Awareness Week but failed to mention that she was facing further treatment as the disease has returned.
Weeks later, she went public with her cancer diagnosis, which came two years after doctors gave her the all-clear, and she has now apologised to Kelly for keeping the news a secret during their interview.
In a segment on the Lorraine show on Wednesday (21Nov12), Nolan told the host, "This time it is slightly different because it's a bit more serious now. It's not curable, but treatable - which is the word we hang onto. And I'm so sorry, last time I was there you asked me a question and I couldn't tell you the truth because I hadn't told my daughter so I wanted to make sure she knew before everybody else, so I'm sorry about that Lorraine."
Nolan was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2010 and was later told she had beaten the disease after undergoing a mastectomy, chemotherapy, and breast reconstruction surgery.
The 52 year old is now facing another battle after medics confirmed her illness has returned and has spread to her brain, lungs, liver and bones.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The whirlwind is starting to wind down for Steve Spagnuolo.
Seeing Ben McAdoo and general manager Jerry Reese fired, being elevated to interim head coach, thrust into the position of choosing a quarterback, then getting the New York Giants ready for the Dallas Cowboys is all Spagnuolo has dealt with this week.
Being a head coach is nothing new for him. The 57-year-old Spags did the job for the St. Louis Rams from 2009-11, and he's worked in the NFL for almost two decades.
It's been hectic since the Giants' co-owners cleaned house Monday with the team sitting with a 2-10 record, and promoted him from defensive co-ordinator.
"It's a difficult thing to go through because there's emotions, and there's people involved and it's real, and yet we know we're in a big business," Spagnuolo said after practice Thursday. "We have to move forward, so we're trying to do that, and I think the guys have functioned pretty well. We got a little more work to do with meetings this afternoon. I think that's important. Get them some rest tonight, come in tomorrow, and get a quick practice in."
Spagnuolo has changed some things over the past few days, starting with the team's schedule. It used to be practice on Wednesday and Thursday, a recovery day on Friday and an 80 per cent workout on Saturday to get the juices flowing.
Spagnuolo has opted to make Friday a short day when the team works on red-zone drills and other things. Saturday will be a more traditional no-helmet, walk-through workout.
He has totally handed over running the offence to co-ordinator Mike Sullivan and his assistants and has worked mostly with his defence. He is brushing up on his game management skills, timeouts, challenges and so forth.
"You have to go with your gut, you have to use the guys around you, and we'll do that. Hopefully we'll make the right decisions going forward," said Spagnuolo, who used a gut reaction to return Eli Manning to the starting job this week after being benched last week.
For the most part, the detail-oriented Spagnuolo has been working like crazy. Even his wife, Maria, has noticed.
"I got scolded last night because Maria said I better get home and get more sleep," said the down-to-earth Spagnuolo. "She's right, I mean she is right. That is a big mistake I can make because you think you have to work more and work more. But I'm going to give it everything I got and do that and get through Sunday's game. And then you just reload, take a deep breath and get ready to do it again."
Safety Landon Collins, who was a big supporter of McAdoo, said it is weird seeing Spags as the head coach. He likes it, though.
"I think it's a big difference," Collins said. "If something's not right, he makes us all redo it right then and there, and he will definitely come back to it. It's a little faster out there now, and what else? Just a more competitive feel out there. He tries to get us to be more competitive now."
Defensive end Olivier Vernon said Spagnuolo is just trying to rally the team now. He said the defence is not looking to play better so he gets to keep the job. He tried to win as hard for McAdoo, who led the Giants to the playoffs last season.
"Guys right here are just going out, trying to fight, play for pride right now, trying to get some wins before the season's over and whatever else happens, happens," Vernon said.
Collins hopes one thing doesn't change. Every Friday, Spagnuolo brought in banana pudding, chocolate cake and other things his wife prepared for the defence.
When asked if defence will have to share the goodies now that Spagnuolo runs the whole team, Collins got a stern look on his face.
"If that happens, me and Spags might have a talk," said Collins, a banana pudding man.
NOTES: Starting RB Orleans Darkwa (illness) did not practice, along with OT Justin Pugh (back), DE Jason Pierre-Paul (finger) and Eli Apple (back/hip). WR Sterling Shepard (hamstring) and OT Chad Wheeler (concussion) were limited without contact. RB Wayne Gallman (hip), LB B.J. Goodson (ankle) and DT Damon Harrison (elbow) were limited. … Sullivan, a West Point product, reminded everyone to remember those who died in the Pearl Harbor attack on Dec. 7, 1941. "And, last thing I'll say, go Army, beat Navy," he said. The service academies play Saturday.

For more information on the specific duties of election officials, review Election Officials Duties.
History of Elections
For many centuries, people have sought a simple, quick and accurate way of expressing and recording their wishes. The ancient Greeks voted by acclamation, by division into groups, or by balloting with shells and bronze disks of different sizes. Another means used consisted of placing a pebble or little ball in an urn, hence the word ballot from the Italian ballotta, meaning little ball. The little balls could have been white in color for an affirmative vote or black for a negative vote. From there came the term blackballed that is still used today to describe rejection. These were forerunners of today's elections with voting machines.
In 139 B.C. the first written ballot was used in Rome. It was not until 1872 that secret voting for elected officials was adopted (in England). The opposition termed it "the deadly mischief of making numbers the sole test of public opinion." The first record of the use of the secret ballot in America was in 1629 when the members of the Salem church chose their pastor. A few years later the Colony of Massachusetts adopted this method to elect civil magistrates. In these early days, little secrecy was afforded the voter in marking his or her ballot. Each party or faction distributed its own ballot among the voters. Frequently printed on colored paper, it was readily possible to determine which ballot the voter selected.
The Australian ballot was introduced in this country in 1888. Under this system, the ballots were printed at public expense by the officials charged with the conduct of elections. The names of all candidates for each office are grouped on the same ballot and the voter indicates his choice by marking an x for each candidate he or she favors. This provided some degree of secrecy for the voter.
During this struggle to permit the people to decide the fate of government by secret ballot, many people sought to perfect a fair, infallible, yet simple method of voting and vote counting by machine.
Thomas A. Edison was a pioneer in this field. His very first patent, issued June 1, 1869, was for an electrographic vote recorder, which he built in the hope it might be used in Congress. While never adopted for public use, his ideas paved the way for voting machines today.
The first voting machine used in an election (in Lockport, New York, in 1892) was the invention of safemaker Jacob H. Meyers. It was a massive device, too cumbersome for wide spread use. Four years later, the United States Voting Machine Company of Jamestown marketed an improved device which soon secured widespread use throughout New York State. This organization was the parent of the Automatic Voting Machine Corporation of Jamestown, New York, that manufactured the AVM voting machines. Samuel R. Shoup followed this example, built his own lever voting machine and founded the Shoup Voting Machine Corporation in 1905. The two rivals grew to dominate the American market. By 1928, one of six citizens voted on an AVM or Shoup voting machine. Many of these machines were still working and used in the 2000 presidential election. They were only eradicated due to the Help America Vote Act of 2002.
Interestingly, about 5,100 old lever machines were brought out of retirement and used in New York's mayors race in the fall of 2013. Though they were replaced with a $95 million electronic system in 2010, it took 72 days to determine the winner of a special election for State Senate in Brooklyn in 2012. The Board of Elections determined that it couldn't collect, reprogram, and test all of the electronic machines in the three weeks between the September 10 primary and a possible runoff on October 1.
Voting Machines in Louisiana
In Louisiana voting machines were first introduced in Orleans Parish in the early 1940's. They were Shoup machines that were mechanical with a vertical ballot placement which allowed for 500 voting positions. Shoup voting machines were next acquired in East Baton Rouge Parish, Calcasieu Parish and Caddo parish. The original Shoup voting machines remained in service in Louisiana for more than 50 years.
In 1952, former Judge Robert F. Kennon won election as Governor of Louisiana. He decided to challenge the notion that Louisiana was laughable because of corrupt politics. In the first year of his administration, legislation was passed and an appropriation was made to acquire voting machines at state expense for every parish in the state.
The AVM Corporation and the Shoup Voting Machine Corporation were still the biggest manufacturors of voting machines at this time. Neither company could produce the numbers of machines required to fill the Louisiana order within the time specified, so the machines were ordered from both manufacturers and would be placed in whole congressional districts.
Since Orleans, East Baton Rouge, Calcasieu and Caddo already had some Shoup voting machines, the congressional districts 1, 2, 4, 6 & 7 would all get Shoup voting machines. There were 34 parishes in these five congressional districts. The rest of the state that included congressional districts 3, 5 & 8 were slated to get the AVM machines. Both machines had the same capacity (500 voting levers) and all the same security features as required by the Voting Machine Law of 1952. The AVM machine was different only in that the ballot presentation was horizontal and mostly at eye level with the voter. Additionally, the top part of the voting machine descends into the lower case that facilitates handling when transporting from storage to precinct and back.
Voting machines were in the custody and control of Secretary of State Wade O. Martin, Jr. , a veteran of many years in public office. Immediately after the passage of the Voting Machine Law in the l952 legislative session, which allocated $1,500,000 for the purchase of voting machines in parishes in which voting machines were not presently in use, arrangements to provide for the receipt and storage of these massive devices (1000 pounds) began. The law provided that at least one voting machine would be purchased for each precinct in the state with additional machines provided under a formula that would allow one machine for every 400 registered voters or major part thereof. Consolidation of precincts, which was and continues to be the duty of the parish governing authority, eliminated many small precincts to make for a more efficient use of the machines.
After acquiring the new machines, drayage contracts were negotiated to distribute the voting machines to the respective parishes for permanent storage. Some voting machines were delivered by boat or barge, as there were a number of voting precincts isolated by water. Bayou Chene, Atchafalaya, Stephensville and Belle River in St. Martin Parish had permanently assigned machines. Pecan Island in Vermilion Parish was another as were Pilottown, Ostrica and Olga in Plaquemines Parish.
The secretary of state set up an election department within his office and began to assemble and train a full time staff of service technicians to maintain the voting machines in all 64 parishes. Besides training staff for operating and maintaining the new voting machines the secretary of state embarked on a large scale public education program. Parish clerks of court, who were and still are the chief election officials at the parish level, were extensively involved in demonstrating the new voting device that would change the election process in Louisiana forever.
Voting machines were placed in each courthouse where visitors and interested citizens had the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the operation of this newest addition to the election process in Louisiana.
Universities, high schools, civic and church groups were offered the use of voting machines for their private elections and thereby gave more people the opportunity to learn the very simple procedure of voting on a mechanical voting machine. It was believed then, as it is today that to start the process of inculcation with the youth of our state would eventually arouse the interest of the older segment of our population. It worked very well. Thousands of people had the opportunity for hands on experience with the mechanical giant before an official election would be held. To this day, Louisiana proudly offers this service for private elections through the outreach division.

Voting Systems in Louisiana
As of the Fall of 2006, all of Louisiana's voters began using the AVC Advantage voting systems for election day voting. On this direct recording electronic voting system, the entire ballot for the voter will appear on the screen.
Over a period of 15 years, the state began procuring these voting systems for 12 parishes in Louisiana. Since 2005, federal funds which were awarded through the Help America Vote Act of 2002 were used to procure voting systems for the remainder of the state.
The voting systems are smaller, lighter, and easier to operate than the old lever-operated machines. They receive rave reviews from the poll workers throughout the state. The ballot is easy to read, since the type is larger. The AVC Advantage voting systems are wheelchair accessible and every voting system is capable of using an audio voting keypad, available for voters with disabilities. The election results are easily printed and stored on a cartridge which is delivered to the clerk of court after the polls are closed.
As of the fall of 2006, all Louisiana's voters began using the AVC Edge voting systems for early voting in person. Early voting in person is done the week before an election and is conducted in every registrar of voters office. On this touchscreen system, the voter will scroll through their entire ballot to vote.
The voting systems are small and easier to operate. The ballot is easy to read. The AVC Edge voting systems are wheelchair accessible and every voting system is capable of having an audio voting keypad for voters with disabilities. The election results are easily printed and are stored on a cartridge which is delivered to the parish board of election supervisors for tabulation on election day.
As of the Fall of 2006, all of Louisiana's voters have had access to using the AVC Audio Handset on either the AVC Advantage voting system or the AVC Edge voting system. The AVC Audio Handset will make both of these voting systems accessible to individuals who are visually impaired, physically disabled, struggle with the written word, unable to read the written word, or unable to read English.
There are no requirements for a voter to use the AVC Audio Handset.
Portions of this document prior to the October 1999 primary section were written by Mr. Shine Domingue who was continuously employed in the Department of Elections since voting machines first arrived in 1953. He retired in 1993 as First Assistant Commissioner of Elections.

McCain Proposes Bill Allowing for 'A La Carte' Buying of Cable Channels
(WASHINGTON) -- Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) has introduced a bill in the Senate that would let you get HBO without paying for the DFH Network, defying a powerful telecom industry that is vociferously opposed to allowing pay per channel options.
The "Television Consumer Freedom Act of 2013″ would let consumers buy cable channels "a la carte," something the Netflix and Hulu generation has been clamoring for to the trepidation of telecom giants.
"You want to watch one television program, you can watch it. If you don't, you don't have to. The situation today is obviously far different from that," McCain said introducing the bill in the Senate Thursday. "That's unfair and wrong, especially when you consider how the regulatory deck is stacked in favor of industry against the consumer."
For avid fans of Girls, or Game of Thrones, McCain is speaking to their deepest desires. The ability to subscribe to HBO Go, without paying Comcast, Verizon, or the Dish Network nearly $100 a month has for a long time seemed like a fantasy.
And it may yet be.
The National Cable and Telecommunications Association, which spent $200,000 on lobbying the federal government in 2013, is strongly opposed to the bill.
"In a thriving marketplace that is constantly providing consumers with new services and features, a government-mandated a la carte system is a lose–lose proposition," they said in a statement. As countless studies have demonstrated, subscription bundles offer a wider array of viewing options, increased programming diversity and better value than per channel options. In today's video marketplace, consumers enjoy more choice than ever before."
And the NCTA's lobbying pales in comparison to the $14.86 million that Comcast spent on lobbying in 2012.
McCain says that the cost of cable has spiraled out of control, which is only possible if large cable and satellite companies have a monopoly.
"People are on fixed incomes, people are hurting. Why on earth should they have a 100 percent price increase?" McCain said. "And the only way that could be done is through monopolies."
McCain's bill would tie the availability of copyright licenses that allow providers to protect their content to the voluntary offering of a la carte channels.
On the other side of the issue are smaller cable companies, represented by the American Cable Association, who support McCain's efforts, which may help open some room in the telecom marketplace for smaller carriers.
Sen. McCain's new bill highlights a point that many, including ACA, have been making for a long time, which is that programmers use their formidable market power to impose tying-and-bundling requirements on unwilling distributors. The result is that consumers must subscribe to large pay-TV packages that are populated with dozens of unwanted channels.
McCain's bill also deals with another vexing issue for television watchers: sports blackouts.
His bill would also prevent sports blackout for games broadcast from publicly funded stadium -- which is to say a lot of stadiums.
According to Deadspin, which compiled data on stadium construction, tax dollars financed more than 60 percent of the cost of building or renovating the 186 sports stadiums constructed between 2009 and 2012.

Singapore's Black and White bungalows were originally built during the British colonial days and are located in various parts of the Island. Hidden in the thick jungles of Singapore they seem to carry with them stories of the past. It is because of these stories, that are still lingering on in these old grand houses, that I chose them as my subject matter to be depict through this series of art works. Through these Black and Whites I hope to share more of the stories that Singapore has to share.

(CNN) -- A refugee and mother of three young boys who is being held in indefinite detention in Australia has two days to convince the country's highest court why she should be freed.
It's her last shot at overturning a government policy which was recently condemned by a United Nations Human Right Committee report as "cruel, inhuman and degrading."
Failure will mean that Ranjini, a 34-year-old Sri Lankan refugee, will continue to be held without trial for the foreseeable future, for reasons that remain a national secret. And she's not the only one.
"The core issues in Ranjini's case are common to more than 50 other refugees deemed a security risk and has serious implications for their liberty too," said her lawyer David Manne, who as the executive director of Australia's Refugee and Immigration Legal Centre, is representing most of the refugees involved.
Ranjini is seeking to be released into the community to live with her family, the two young boys she fled with who are now aged seven and nine, her new husband and their eight-month-old child.
"It has caused Ranjini, her boys and her husband profound distress and harm," Manne said. "Every day of detention is another day of damage."
READ: Mom locked up in Australia as security risk has baby boy
CNN is unable to verify details of Ranjini's story with the Australian Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) because it will not comment on individual cases.
Ranjini's supporters say they suspect her detention has something to do with her former husband, a Tamil who was killed during fighting in Sri Lanka, though that is unable to be confirmed.
READ: Australians to vote on September 7: Asylum, Internet, economy
Fleeing Sri Lanka
Ranjini fled Sri Lanka in 2008 with her two sons Pirai and Kathir -- then aged four and two -- two years after her husband and their father was killed in the civil war.
They're from the Vanni region, where the United Nations has alleged both the government and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) targeted civilians, according to a report released in March 2011.
They first went to India, but Ranjini struggled to care for her family so paid a people smuggler to board a boat to Australia.
During what she has described as a "painful" journey, the boat ran out of fuel and was eventually intercepted by the Australian Navy who took the bedraggled and by now desperate asylum seekers to Christmas Island for processing.
Ranjini and her sons were moved to the Australian cities of Perth, then Adelaide before being released to community detention in Brisbane in 2011. In September of the same year, Ranjini and the boys were granted refugee status. Their three-year quest for safety and freedom was over. Or so she thought.
OPINION: Australian parties in race to bottom on asylum issue
Back in detention
In December 2011, Ranjini met a man, Ganesh, who is also from Sri Lanka but was living in Australia as a permanent resident, working as an I.T. consultant in Melbourne.
The Immigration Department gave them permission to marry, and in April 2012 they exchanged vows in a traditional Tamil ceremony witnessed by 200 guests.
However, within one month, Ranjini was back in custody. Immigration officials summoned the family to a meeting to inform them that she had failed a security test and would be detained indefinitely.
She and the boys were flown to the Villawood Detention Center in Sydney. The next day she found out she was pregnant with Ganesh's child.
Born into custody
Baby Paari was born in January, 2013, and lives with his mother in detention. "I can't take the baby out, because if I take him out he'll cry," Ganesh told CNN. "Once I tried but I couldn't keep him calm. After 10 minutes he started crying so I took him back."
He has taken Paari into the car park for photos; cameras aren't allowed within the detention center. And last month, Ranjini was allowed to visit Ganesh's home for four hours for a Hindu ceremony called Kolukaddai Kodduthal, which marks the arrival of their baby's first teeth.
As an Australian citizen, Baby Paari is not being detained. Nor are his brothers who were granted permanent residency in June. The elder boys choose to live with their mother during the week, but leave the secure facility every Friday to spend weekends with Ganesh.
Ganesh says over the past 16 months the boys have come to realize that other detainees only stay for a month or two while their claims are processed.
"They see people come and go but only their mother can't get out. It makes them very sad. They're starting to realize that their mother is in a difficult situation -- it's very hard for them," he said.
Detained as national security risk
The security test that Ranjini failed was conducted by the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO).
According to its website, ASIO says part of its protective security work is "to assess whether people applying for entry or permanent residence visas have the potential for espionage, have links with a terrorist organization, or may in other ways be a threat to national security."
Refugees who fail the assessment are not told why and they have no right to legal appeal. Because they're refugees, the country is obliged to offer them protection under international law. But under Australian law, they can't be freed.
On Wednesday, the High Court of Australia will be asked to assess whether it's legal under Australian law and the constitution to detain refugees indefinitely and "whether Australian law puts a different value on liberty for non-citizens, one where liberty is more easily put in jeopardy," Manne said.
It's not known when the court will release its findings, nor the extent of the potential implications for more than 50 other refugees in the same situation.
'Serious psychological harm'
Australia's policy of indefinite detention has been harshly criticized in the past, most recently by a special committee of 18 human rights experts assembled by the United Nations.
In a report released on August 22, the committee said the policy was inflicting "serious psychological harm" on the 46 detainees who brought their complaints, the largest ever against Australia, to the U.N. Human Rights Committee.
"The combination of the arbitrary character of (their) detention, its protracted and/or indefinite duration, the refusal to provide information and procedural rights to (them) and the difficult conditions of detention are cumulatively inflicting serious psychological harm upon them," the Committee said.
The report claimed the policy represented 143 violations of international law and urged Australia to free, compensate and rehabilitate the refugees involved.
Ranjini was not one of the detainees who took their complaints to the United Nations, though she is among those being held.
The independent reviews
Almost one year ago, the Australian government, then led by Julia Gillard, appointed an independent reviewer to examine evidence used by ASIO to determine whether a refugee was a national security risk.
It followed an Australian Senate Committee report into the country's Immigration Detention Network which found that cases of indefinite detention should be subject to review.
Of the 10 reviews completed so far by retired Federal Court Judge Margaret Stone, eight of the negative assessments were found to be "appropriate." Ranjini's was one of them. She still doesn't know exactly why.
"We didn't expect that outcome," Ganesh said. "We were expecting that (the judge) would give a positive indication to release Ranjini. That was very sad for myself and my family."
Political parties vie for asylum votes
Australia's asylum policy has been one of the key issues of the upcoming Australian election to be held on September 7. Both leading political parties have announced plans that include sending asylum seekers offshore for processing.
READ: Abbott: Could political brawler be next PM?
Under a Labor government, led by Kevin Rudd, asylum seekers found to be refugees would be settled in Papua New Guinea or the island of Nauru. None would be allowed to remain in Australia.
The opposition's policy, led by Tony Abbott, goes a step further and proposes refusing permanent visas to some 32,000 people already in Australia who are waiting for their claims to be processed.
Both parties have defended their policies as necessary to discourage the thousands of people who are paying people smugglers to board often unseaworthy boats for the dangerous trip to Australia.
"What we're seeking to do through these arrangements at the moment is to send a message to people smugglers around the world that the business model is basically undermined,'' Rudd said during the policy launch. "It says if you jump on a boat you're going to end up in Australia. That doesn't apply any more.''
Abbott -- who is currently leading pre-election opinion polls -- went one step further over the weekend in announcing that, if he came to power, asylum seekers would be denied government-funded legal assistance, a move the Refugee Council of Australia has slammed as "disastrous" for people seeking refuge.
Abbott would also scrap independent reviews for people like Ranjini, denying them the one opportunity they have for their cases to be re-examined.
Ranjini's court hearing -- hope
Neither Ranjini nor her husband will be in court for the hearing in Canberra on Wednesday and Thursday, but they're both eager for her ordeal to be over.
"We are looking forward to the outcome because she's been in detention since 2010 -- one way or another she's been in detention," he said.
Despite the setbacks -- including the independent reviewer's confirmation of the negative ASIO security assessment -- Ganesh is daring to hope that the High Court will rule in Ranjini's favor.
"There were two boys, now there are three boys... I trust the system so at least they will think that because of her family -- myself and the boys are here -- I'm expecting a positive outcome," he said.

Despite their coveted value, the great brands of old media aren't proving out to be much of an asset online. And to the extent old media is relying on the value of their brands to ensure a digital future, they are headed in the wrong direction.
For this new analysis for Digital Quarters, we measured audience and visits (from comScore) for sites across the major media categories, comparing the metrics of sites operated under old media brands (e.g. ABC, Entertainment Weekly) in each category to those of new upstarts. Over the past year old media brands lost share of online audience to new media in nearly all of the traditional magazine categories (TV, entertainment, business, fashion, tech, and teens), while the offline brands in the News category grew share during that same period. Although total visits were up 5% for old media, new media visits grew far faster — 10% — from April 2009 to April 2010, leading to share loss for old media in six out of the eight categories that we tracked.
Overall visit growth was positive in all media categories other than TV, but despite this, old media brands experienced an absolute visit decline in Entertainment News and Teens which are rapidly shifting towards new media sources.
Conventional wisdom has held that building a brand is a momentous challenge in developed spaces such as media; and that disproportionate returns accrue to the most established brands. But my new analysis shows that legacy brands are on the defensive, far more threatened by new entrants than the other way around. The upshot appears to be that upstarts' execution is earning new audiences (and building their new brands), drawing audience on average away from more established players.
The reason for this shift, and the dominance of new media in categories such as Tech News is simply that the old media magazine model is ill equipped to compete with more nimble online competitors. For the most part, weekly and monthly publications are struggling to keep up with the new pace of information exchange and social interaction demanded on the web. Understandably, the value to consumers of days, weeks, or months-old "news" on fashion trends, celebrity gossip, and technology is far lower in the presence of up-to-the-minute coverage from new sites.
However, the success of offline brands in the News category offers hope for other old media brands. Companies such as The New York Times, BBC, and ABCNews have grown their online presence and are clearly investing in digital as core to their business. They are actively experimenting with rich media, social marketing, and engaging their audience. But while news outlets have always operated on a fast pace, magazines are at a particular disadvantage in that they are not structured to turn information around quickly. For old media magazine brands to maintain or grow share, they'll need to go further by transforming their organizations, incentives, and sources and embracing the new definitions of publishing quality to provide the experiences that consumers are now seeking online. With online share falling — in some cases dramatically — now is the time for offline legacy publishers to take action and get their brands working harder before it's too late.

Home appliances make life more enjoyable and pleasant since they ease home chores. With all the appliances that you need, you can keep up with the home demands even if you are a busy working mum or dad.

Transplanting intestinal bacteria from lean or obese humans can turn mice fat or thin, and diet may transform that phenotype, researchers found.
In a series of studies using fecal material from pairs of obese and lean twins, mice given bacteria from the heavier twin gained more weight and packed on more adipose tissue than mice given bacteria from the thin twin (P≤0.01), Jeffrey Gordon, MD, of Washington University in St. Louis, and colleagues reported in Science.
Action Points
- Transplanting intestinal bacteria from lean or obese humans can turn mice fat or thin, and diet may transform that phenotype.
- Note that the obese mice that lived with mice containing the lean co-twin's microbiota gained bacteria in the genus Bacteroides, which has been associated with less obesity in previous work.
There was also evidence of bacterial sharing when these mice were housed together, and the lean mice appeared to confer protective benefits to their obese counterparts. That effect was facilitated by a healthy, low-saturated-fat, high-fiber diet, but was stymied by an unhealthy one full of saturated fats and short on fiber, Gordon and colleagues reported.
"We now have a way of identifying such interactions, dependent on diet, and thinking about what features of our unhealthy diets we could transform in ways that would encourage bacteria to establish themselves in our guts, and do the jobs needed to improve our well-being," Gordon said in a statement.
Much research has focused on the effects of the intestinal microbiome and its effects on human obesity. Recent findings from the MetaHIT project in Europe have shown that these 'gut bugs' have a great impact on metabolic health.
For instance, Danish patients with less diversity of intestinal bacteria were found to have more metabolic dysfunction than those with a more robust portfolio. Another study reported at the same time found that healthier diets improved the number and types of intestinal bacteria.
For their study, Gordon and colleagues took fecal material from pairs of adult female twins -- one who was obese, the other lean -- and transplanted it into mice that were bred to have no intestinal bacteria at all. All of these mice were given a standard diet that was low in fat and high in plant polysaccharides.
The researchers found that mice given bacteria from the heavier twin gained more weight and accumulated more adipose tissue than those who received intestinal bacteria from the leaner twin (P≤0.01).
"This wasn't attributable to differences in the amount of food they consumed, so there was something in the microbiota that was able to transmit this trait," Gordon said in the statement. "Our question became: What were the components responsible?"
So they placed the mice together, an easy way of sharing intestinal bacteria because mice engage in coprophagia, the consumption of feces.
After living together for 10 days, the researchers found the obese mice had adopted features of their leaner cage mates, packing on less adiposity than obese animals not housed with lean mice (P≤0.05). At the same time, exposure to the obese mice didn't make the lean animals fat.
Specifically, the obese mice gained bacteria in the genus Bacteroides, which has been associated with less obesity in previous work.
To assess whether a change in diet would have an impact on these effects, Gordon and colleagues put the mice on two different diets: a healthy one that was low in saturated fats and high in fiber, and another that was the opposite -- high in saturated fat and low in fiber.
They found that among animals on the healthier diet, lean mice were still able to confer metabolic benefits to their obese counterparts, via an invasion of Bacteroides. But the high-fat, low-fiber diet stymied that benefit, and obese animals housed with lean ones gained no benefits, they reported.
"Remarkably, there was a lack of significant invasion of members of the lean microbiota into the guts of obese cage mates," the researchers wrote. "Together, these results emphasize the strong microbiota-by-diet interactions that underlie invasion, and illustrate how a diet high in saturated fats and low in fruits and vegetables can select against human gut bacterial taxa associated with leanness."
Gordon and colleagues concluded that their findings suggest complex interactions between diet, body mass, and gut microbiota underlie metabolic dysfunction, and that their model will be useful for future studies looking at the effects of specific dietary components on intestinal bacteria and subsequent phenotypes.
"In the future, the nutritional value and the effects of food will involve significant consideration of our microbiota," Gordon said, "and developing healthy, nutritious foods will be done from the inside-out, not just the outside-in."
The study was supported by the National Institutes of Health, the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America, Kraft Foods, and Mondelez International.

Today: Yahoo (YHOO) and Facebook hit new milestone stock prices, Apple (AAPL) rebounds from post-iPhone-event doldrums, and Netflix (NFLX) declines from record highs.
The Lead: Yahoo tops $30 for first time since 2008, another record for Facebook
A day after their respective CEOs took the stage in San Francisco and lamented the NSA's spying techniques, Yahoo and Facebook hit new highs on Wall Street amid optimism for the Silicon Valley stalwarts.
Yahoo's share price moved higher than $30 for the first time since Microsoft was bidding to purchase the Sunnyvale Internet giant for up to $33 a share in 2008, with the stock selling for as much as $30.27 before closing with a 1.6 percent gain at $29.65. At the time, co-founder and then-CEO Jerry Yang said Yahoo would eventually be worth more than Microsoft's asking price, but the share price has taken more than 5 years to near its 2008 levels.
Yahoo shares have nearly doubled in the past year, however, as investors and analysts have showed more belief in its current leader, former Google (GOOG) executive Marissa Mayer, and banked on the firm's Asian investments including Chinese Web giant Alibaba, which could go public soon at a valuation topping $100 billion.
In her speech Wednesday at the TechCrunch Disrupt Conference in San Francisco, Mayer touted that Yahoo's traffic has increased 20 percent since she took over the company, with monthly active users passing 800 million. That figure does not include the users Yahoo picked up from its $1.1 billion purchase of blogging platform Tumblr, part of Mayer's near-obsessive acquisition spree targeted at mobile startups, with results showing up in revamped mobile apps and a new video offering introduced this week.
Still, Mayer believes that Yahoo's turnaround has a much longer road ahead of it, saying Wednesday that "It's going to take multiple years" for Yahoo to move "in the direction and grow at the rate we want."
Facebook's growth rate has already been lauded as phenomenal, with the Menlo Park social network attracting more than 1 billion users and showing strong advances in mobile revenues during the past year. Belief in the company's model helped spur the stock to top $45 for the first time Wednesday and shares hit another new all-time high of $45.62 Thursday after J.P. Morgan suggested the stock could top $50 by the end of next year.
J.P. Morgan analyst Doug Anmuth issued a note saying Facebook would continue to develop its mobile revenues, projecting that ad sales targeting users on smartphones and tablets will be a majority of Facebook's total revenues by the fourth quarter of this year and hit 60 percent next year. As a result, the analyst boosted his price target on Facebook stock to $53, 20 percent higher than his previous estimate.
"We remain positive on Facebook shares as user engagement remains strong, with mobile more than offsetting desktop declines," Anmuth wrote.
Facebook stock closed with a 0.6 percent decline at $44.75 Thursday, but has gained 68.8 percent since its most recent earnings report as investors and analysts have praised the company's mobile efforts. Those gains may have been a factor in the timing of rival Twitter's confidential filing for its initial public offering, which the San Francisco company announced Thursday afternoon.
Still, not everything is rosy at Facebook: The company's recent attempt to change its privacy policy has attracted the attention of federal regulators.
SV150 market report: Apple and Pandora gain, but HP and Netflix head the other way
Wall Street had its first down day in more than a week Thursday, with the Standard & Poor's 500 breaking a seven-session winning streak with a slight decline. Silicon Valley tech stocks had a slightly better day, though the SV150 also dipped despite a bounceback day for Apple.
Apple stock dropped like a stone after the Cupertino tech giant announced two new iPhone models at a Tuesday event at its corporate headquarters, with the biggest decline occurring Wednesday, after a similar launch event in China that investors hoped would include a deal with China Mobile, but instead just left Chinese consumers unimpressed. After a two-day decline of 7.6 percent, however, Apple recovered with a 1.1 percent gain to $472.69 after Walmart announced that it would sell iPhones for less than CEO Tim Cook announced at Tuesday's event, and a report suggested that Apple will announce new TV innovations next month.
Apple's gains could not lift the SV150, though, as other area tech giants slumped. After its largest American rival, Dell, finally received approval from shareholders to exit the public markets, Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) dropped 1.4 percent to $21.96; an HP spokesman told Marketwatch that Dell "faces an extended period of uncertainty and transition that will not be good for its customers." After hitting all-time highs two days in a row, Netflix dropped 2.2 percent to $301.41 after two Wall Street analysts downgraded the Los Gatos company, saying that it had reached its full value with its strong performance. Intel (INTC) fell 0.8 percent to $22.63 and announced it was closing a plant in Massachusetts that will result in 700 layoffs, and Cisco (CSCO) dropped 0.4 percent to $24.29 as the San Jose networking company showed off a new chip design. Google is growing, but its stock price did not Thursday; the Mountain View Internet giant confirmed a lease on property in Sunnyvale that could eventually house 1,000 employees, but shares fell 0.4 percent to $893.06.
Avoiding those doldrums, Pandora Media and Extreme Networks experienced large gains Thursday. Pandora's winning streak stretched to six straight sessions with a 12.1 percent gain to $23.97 after the Oakland company announced that Brian McAndrews would be its new CEO as the streaming-radio firm fights to avoid higher royalty payments. San Jose's Extreme rose 7.4 percent to $4.33 after announcing the planned $180 million acquisition of hardware company Enterasys.
Up: Pandora, Yahoo, Apple, Tesla, Zynga, SolarCity, NetApp, Gilead
Down: LinkedIn, SunPower (SPWRA), Netflix, Workday, AMD, HP, Intuit (INTU), Yelp, EA, Juniper, Symantec, Adobe (ADBE), Intel, Oracle (ORCL), Facebook, VMware, eBay (EBAY), Google, Cisco
The SV150 index of Silicon Valley's largest tech companies: Down 1.31, or 0.1 percent, to 1,321.49
The tech-heavy Nasdaq composite index: Down 9.04, or 0.24 percent, to 3,715.97
The blue chip Dow Jones industrial average: Down 25.96, or 0.17 percent, to 15,300.64
And the widely watched Standard & Poor's 500 index: Down 5.71, or 0.34 percent, to 1,683.42

Got Psoriasis? Try These Simple Skin-Care Tips
When you have psoriasis, taking care of your skin is very important to help avoid flare-ups. Here are some tips for keeping skin healthy:
Add bath oil, oatmeal bath preparations, Epsom salts or Dead Sea salts to lukewarm water. Soak for at least 15 minutes. This eases itching and inflammation.
Especially right after bathing, applying a heavy, ointment-based moisturizer will lock moisture into your skin. This prevents dryness and cracking. During winter months, using a humidifier also can help.
Psoriasis often is terribly itchy, but scratching can make lesions appear or aggravate the inflammation. Instead, try applying a cold compress, a menthol-based ointment or a topical cortisone cream.
Sunlight can improve lesions, but too much can aggravate psoriasis. Check with your healthcare provider first if you're undergoing UV or retinoid therapy. Then keep sun sessions short, and apply a sunscreen to unaffected areas before you go out.
Cotton is less likely than any other fabric to irritate your skin.

Students moving out of Portland State University residence halls last week donated more than 9 tons of used clothing, household goods, furniture, and nonperishable food to local charities.
The University's Campus Sustainability Office led the effort, called Chuck It for Charity, setting up collection stations throughout the PSU campus to make it easy for students and families to drop off unwanted items while packing up and vacating their homes away from home.
"It was overwhelming to see how much stuff a college student accumulates over the course of their education. It was also rewarding to witness so much of what students accumulated being donated to needy families here in the Portland area instead of being buried in our landfills," said Anthony Hair, waste management coordinator for the PSU Campus Sustainability Office.
With 1,251 students moving out, donations amounted to about 14 pounds of clothing and other goods per student. Here's a breakdown:
- 6,500 pounds of clothing and textiles were donated to ARC of Multnomah-Clackamas County and Cascadia Gaia Movement.
- 9,500 pounds of household goods and furniture were donated to Community Warehouse and Habitat for Humanity's ReStore.
- 200 pounds of food were donated to the ASPSU Food Pantry.
- 2,000 pounds of school and office supplies were donated to the PSU ReUse Room.
The ReUse Room, which collects donated office supplies and provides them for free to the PSU community, got a substantial bump in inventory from the program. Staff restocked the shelves two to three times each day with dishes, lamps, carpets, cleaning supplies, and more, and by the next morning the shelves had been picked clean. Staff also filled up an otherwise empty overstock room with goods, which they plan to distribute in the ReUse Room throughout the coming months.
"This project represents a significant achievement for PSU's waste reduction efforts and overall climate action goals," said Jenny McNamara, campus sustainability manager. "It also had the added benefit of educating students in residence halls about reuse and conscious consumption."
Waste minimization has been a focus of sustainability efforts at PSU this year. Last fall, the Campus Sustainability Office (CSO) hired Anthony Hair as the full-time waste management coordinator. Hair, in collaboration with classes and student volunteers, conducted five waste audits on campus throughout the year to track and educate the community about recycling, composting, and reuse.
CSO also extended the hours of the ReUse Room located in Cramer Hall 180; initiated Mug Runners, an effort to collect and redistribute reusable mugs and water bottles; and began hosting Pop-Up Swaps, on-site office supply exchanges for individual buildings.
On July 10, PSU will partner with Metro to host a Let's Talk Trash event with Pulitzer Prize–winning author Ed Humes about his book "Garbology: Our Dirty Love Affair With Trash." Find more info about the event here.

Health Website Attracts More Older Missourians
JEFFERSON CITY (AP) - More older than younger people in Missouri have been signing up for health insurance through a federally run website.
Figures released Monday by the U.S. government show about 33,000 individuals in Missouri selected a plan through the HealthCare.gov website as of Dec. 28. Of those, about 58 percent were age 45 or older.
Younger adults ages 18-34 accounted for one-quarter of the enrollees in Missouri. That's similar to the national average.
People who are younger or healthier typically pay more into an insurance system than they take out, thus helping to offset the health care costs of older adults.
The new federal figures also show that more Missouri women than men are signing up for insurance policies through the federal website. That also is similar to the national average.

It sounds so right to me to put the definite article 'the' before society as in:
I will contribute a lot to the society.
However, sometimes, I come across examples where the article is dropped.
E.g. People in society do not want this.
Should we in general add the article before the word society?
It depends whether you are referring to a club/association (use 'the') or to society in general (no article).
