The Full Plate Diet: Are You Eating Enough to Lose Weight?
Riverside Church members, in Washougal, Wash., have embarked on a health adventure: the Full Plate Diet. The adventure began with a Taste and See Health Seminar on March 14, which introduced the principles for healthful living that Seventh-day Adventists are known for. A vegetarian diet addresses the health problems of high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and cancer. However, we also fight the problem of eating too much and gaining too much weight. In an obese nation, we should be examples of a fit, healthy lifestyle. So what is wrong?
One problem is lack of exercise. Another is stress. Another is food that is too rich with fat and oil. We find it difficult to control not only what we eat but how much we eat. Solution: The Full Plate Diet. Sound strange? Perhaps it isn't. The key to this new diet is to include more fiber and less fat in our vegetarian meals. Adding fiber adds satiety without adding calories. The food is delicious and healthful, and meals are satisfying.
Weight loss for each participant averages 1–4 pounds in the first two weeks. After that, weight loss is more gradual. Combined with an exercise program, weight loss is greater and tends to be more permanent. One participant reports that she lost one pound per week for a total of seven pounds just by substituting brown rice for white rice, sweet potatoes for white potatoes, and oatmeal "powered up" with nuts for shredded wheat.
The class at Riverside Church was conducted by Jack McIntosh, health educator, and Linda Schrader, health instructor. Each Monday night at 6:30 the session began with cooking demonstrations and delicious food samples, plus a health lecture by Jack. Recipes made maximum use of fiber food power — from "Powered-up Salad" and "Powered-up Potato Soup" to delectable desserts like Fresh Strawberry Pie with a rich nut crust.
The first Full Plate Diet class was held at Riverside church last fall. With this spring's class over 30 participants have completed the class. Half of the participants in the spring class were not church members. Two will be baptized soon. The Full Plate Diet was devised by a team of physicians and health educators at Lifestyle Center of America. The class runs for eight weeks. Each participant receives the N.Y. Times bestselling textbook, The Full Plate Diet, and workbook. Go to www.fullplatediet.org for information, recipes, a fiber calculator, and a blog.

Park and Recreation Board
Members present were Darlyne Sowder, President, Edwin Macatangay, Vice President, L. D. Axsom, and Art Moynihan, Secretary.
Guest: Jeff Frownfelter (potential Democrat Parks Board Member)
L. D. Axsom motioned to accept the
Dave Sorokoty and Deborah Hudson were not able to attend tonight's meeting. Discussion of the 5-year plan will be deferred to the next meeting.
Darlyne updated the Board on her visit and photos of
Darlyne reported that the Town Council has its first reading of Ordinance 02-13 making it a class E ordinance violation and subject to fine as specified in the Ellettsville Town Code. Art Moynihan motioned, and Edwin Macatangay seconded to recommend passage of this ordinance to the Town Council. Motion carried 4-0.
As well, the Parks Board believes it is important for the Town Council to adopt an Ordinance prohibiting skating on public streets/sidewalks. The Parks Board believes that child safety is the key issue in creating these Ordinances.
The Parks Board held a discussion of the contents of the Skate Park Safety and Maintenance Program and acknowledged the efforts of Deborah Hudson in the preparation of the document. The Board is not certain that a Safety Team is necessary, in that a review of the park inspections could be done by the Board at its regularly scheduled meetings. In addition, clarification of policy purpose[s] for some sections needs to be discussed. The Board deferred further discussion until Deborah can attend to discuss these details with the Board.
The Board discussed the need to begin future planning for

Mr. Harman is willing to consider a cooperative solution if Mr. Ridge (adjacent landowner) agrees. We do not have the details of what Mr. Harman proposes as a cooperative solution at this time, but Dave Sorokoty has agreed to follow through with Mr. Ridge in an attempt to conclude this issue.

Darlyne shared copies of the proposed Parks Board budget for 2003 and noted changes for the Board's consideration and review. Darlyne understands that the Town Council is prepared to pass the budget as stated, unless the Parks Board has any objection. Art Moynihan motioned and Edwin Macatangay seconded to approve the proposed budget for 2003. Motion passed 4-0.
The Board asked for clarification of how the budget is actually developed. We are unclear because some understand the Parks budget to be a revenue-based budget as a separate assessment to property taxes. Darlyne agreed to consult with Sandy Hash in order for us to gain a better understanding of the Parks revenue sources.
Darlyne asked Jeff Frownfelter if he would agree to serve on the Parks Board. Jeff asked questions of the Board as to procedure and general items, and agreed to have Darlyne submit his name to the Town Council for a Parks Board position.
next meeting of the Parks Board will be ,

"Homecoming" is meant quite literally here. I'm currently back in Sunny Singapura for 12 blissful days, and strangely, this trip has been a rather emotional one for me. Somehow I have managed to sashay jauntily across Shanghai (and etc) for the past 2+ years, tailfeather shaking and all, without missing – or indeed, thinking of – home too much. New places to go, new (bad) habits to acquire, and all that jazz.
But on this trip I've spent the past few days being decidedly maudlin and soppy. We all know what this means – it's time to turn to
music Youtube to relive the embarrassing old days and relieve the cake-needing soul. My cats will be pleased to get a break from all my weepy man-handling, anyway.
To commemorate this final homecoming, I delve into the deep, dark, buried recesses of my childhood musical influences. Apparently, I was a really, really, really weird kid.
"Le Cygne", The Carnival of the Animals, Camille Saint-Saëns
Somehow, at the age of 9 or so, I got it into my head that I would like to be a ballerina. I was gloriously overweight, bespectacled, clumsy, and sported a Friar Tuck haircut, but I didn't let that get in the way of my beautiful dreams. When I was 10, I persuaded the 'rents to sign me up for ballet classes. The only available course at the shopping mall near my place was Beginner Ballet, target group 5 -6 years old. For 3 months, I bravely jeté-d, pirouetted and flapped my (large, flabby) arms in a crowd of tiny pretty little things in tiny pretty little tutus whilst their mothers heaved with laughter outside the glass windows.
So it didn't work out, but I still love ballet. It's pretty amazing that we get to see one of ballet's greatest – possible the greatest – ballerinas on video more than 80 years after she performed The Dying Swan, which was choreographed specially for her, and frankly, is the stuff of legend.
Frank Sinatra, "Moon River"
The vid footage from the gorgeous Breakfast at Tiffany's is almost a bit too much. I'm sure it's not snarkiness/ sour grapes when I ask, is it ridiculous that Audrey Hepburn is so beautiful? It is, isn't it? I mean IT'S NOT FAIR, ISN'T IT? Must be plastic surgery. (Why not me? Why?)
Still, I have to admit the song still chokes me up a bit. I have no idea why the pre-pubescent me would've identified with this song at all; I guess it was the magic of being one of two drifters, off to see the world.
Audrey's performance of "Moon River", incidentally, brought the composers Henry Mancini and Johnny Mercer an Oscar for Best Song. It was actually written for her "limited vocal range" (1) in mind, which is obviously a GOLD move because then the rest of us can sob it into our beer mugs as well.
"Please Mr Postman" by The Carpenters
(It IS definitely snark when I wonder how much Disney paid them for this vid.)
As a kid, I loved the dreaminess and easy-listening of The Carpenters. Somehow I also knew from a really early age that Karen Carpenter died of anorexia. My dad was the one who told me this; I have no idea why, because insufficient food intake was patently not an ailment I was suffering from. Looking back, though, it is easy to see why I particularly liked "Please Mr Postman" – it's fun, dancey and sweet.
"Please Mr Postman" was actually the 1961 debut single of Motown girls' group The Marvelettes. You can marvelette it here.
Richard Marx, "Right Here Waiting"
Finally, an age-appropriate song! I must have developed hormones after all. Actually, my best friend in Primary School launched an ill-fated attempt to wow the School Talentime, and her pimply crush, with this tune, which was how I got introduced to it (over and over and over again).
There is also this delicious gem from Wikipedia (highlights, bold-face and manic giggling my own)
Music video
Three music videos were filmed for the song, although two were deemed "too sexual" in nature, and were shunned and banned by lobbyist before the release ever hit the public's screens.[citation needed] Included in the first banned video was 42 second "softcore" sex scene, involving Marx and the love interest this song refers to.
The second video, was picked at with a fine-toothed comb. Complaints were made about every minor detail, including Marx briefly holding hands with a man, and the backup dancers clothing being "too tight".[citation needed]
After the criticism, Marx's producers denied any creative control to Marx, and ordered that he film a three minute sequence of him playing the piano, and became the music video for "Right Here Waiting".[citation needed]
Dear Wikipedia, citations are most definitely NOT needed. Anyone can see it's perfectly true. I would give anything to see the original mv where Marx engages in a 42-sec petting session, stopping for a brief homo-handhold, while asphyxiating dancers try to emote in the background.
And of course,
Guns N' Roses "Sweet Child O' Mine"
The opening riff from lead guitarist Slash either sends shivers down your spine or invokes nauseating memories of bad KTV. I pause here myself to grimly reflect upon the recent experience of watching my pot-bellied ex-colleague squeal the chorus into a hapless microphone while vigorously doing the air guitar.
Why did I love this song as a kid? Stockholm Syndrome. An uncle who used to live with us blasted Guns N' Roses at ear-bleeding volume every Sunday morning. He was either deaf or trying to drown out the hymn-singing from the church service next door. (His hearing is perfectly fine, last I checked.)
Anyhow, like so many great songs, that legendary guitar riff in "Sweet Child O' Mine" came almost out of nothing. Slash noted, "It was more like me fucking around with the guitar." (2)
So that brings us to the end of my pre-pubescent era. Teen-dom was even worse for me, both in terms of music and social skills. But that's a story for another day!

recently I have been experiencing huge performance issues with my AMD Radeon graphics Card. The problem is that almost any game runs with extreme fps drops. For example LoL shows around 150/250 fps but it can drop to even 10 fps 4 times in a minute which is really annoying. Not only that but also games like fortnite, skyrim, name it, show acceptable fps but it is constantly droping to 10 or less. If i try to watch a movie on one screen and play a game on a second, i can't hope for even 10 fps, 7/8 tops. Moreover my screen sometimes turn black with sound still on, just to turn back to normal after few seconds. It only happens in games. The fun thing about it all started after i got a new cooler for my CPU. For a week or so after that everything was running perfect. Lol - 500 fps with stable 200 after few minutes in game, Skyrim, Fortnite, Overwatch, everything smooth and beautifull. Then suddenly poof and i have black screens every other half an hour and huge fps drops. Nothing really changed during that time - no new software, nothing. I tried everything i could think of - uninstalling drivers and reinstalling them, updating and downgrading them, downgrading windows version too, updating it back. Disconnecting 1 screen and working on one, connecting screens with another cable instead of DVI, under and overclocking the card with msiafter burner and amd radeon software. Nothing worked. Problem persits. Mentionable is the fact that gpu is working at 100% constanly while in game according to process manager.I would really appreciate any help and suggestions as what to do as i don't really want to buy new gpu since this one should still be quite good.

Kontakt Packs
Our Kontakt Packs have been exclusively designed to work with Native Instruments Kontakt 5. Included in the pack is the Drumdrops Kontakt Instrument. We now have two builds of the Kontakt Instrument V1 and V2. The instruments provide users with absolute control over all of the individual drum channels, allowing you to mix the drums exactly as you want them. Each insturment comes with a full mixer with auxilary sends, mute and solo. Both come with groove players allowing you to use our built in MIDI Loops. THere are loads of features for owners of V-drum kits and our version 2 instrument makes it possible for drummers to tweak all the cc data and MIDI maps to set the kit up exactly as they need it. This should now work with any E-drums. Both instruments include multiple effects and convolutions and of course they manipulate thousands of samples making sure the instruments are extremely realistic. Below is a list of the features found in version 2 of the kontakt instrument (due to launch with the vintage and modern folk rock kits). For the version 1 features of the instrument please check the indidivual kontakt pack page for that kit where all the features are shown. Version 2 of the instrument is a complete rebuild of the instrument and has a lot of great improvements as we will show you below.

There are countless companies that are Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) eligible, but obviously these are very high risk ventures. Are there any brokerages, introducers or other sources of EIS-eligible companies where they have diligently vetted companies, so that I'm more likely to invest in ones that are more likely to be successful?

For Israel has forgotten his Maker
and built palaces,
and Judah has multiplied fortified cities;
so I will send a fire upon his cities,
and it shall devour her strongholds.
Believe it or not, without God, we are nothing. When tough times come, we run to Him for help. When we are in need, we pray to Him for provision. When we are sick, we asks for His healing. However, when we have everything, we often forget that God is existing. It must be true that we only know God when we need something. Does this apply in your life?
God owns everything, as in, all things! What we have right now came from Him and if He wanted to get all that we possess, He can do it in a snap. Do not let your head be inflated. Humble yourself and forget not your Maker.
Just like in the verse above, for anyone that has forgotten his Maker, a fire will be sent upon him. Figuratively speaking, the fire may symbolize lost to our treasured possessions or even loved ones. God can take whatever and whoever He wants if it is the only way for us to turn back to Him.
Man, including Christians has this tendency to forget the Creator especially when we are too busy, too preoccupied with the things concerning this world. We shouldn't let the enemy snatch us away from God. Find means to deepen your relationship with God. Give Him more time. Read the Bible everyday like you routinely do your tooth brushing. Pray as often as you could. Using these ways, our Maker will always be remembered. His presence will always be with you and no fire will be sent to devour your stronghold.

Web integration project front-end performance optimization
If a user does not receive contents in a certain reasonable time, he/she goes away and may not come back again. Therefore the user should not be bothered with slow web loading in any way, and in the best case he/she should not even realize that he/she has to wait for something.
When a web or web applications are being made, the speed of imaging is influenced by a whole range of things – from the very source code, the infrastructure, up to the abilities of a web browser. Now I will concentrate on problems surrounding the web front-end performance, i. e. all the links between the browser and our web project after it was dynamically formed and sent as an HTML to the browser. I will focus on the main problems of front-end optimization and on the procedures how to minimize them and thus to achieve in the web integration project a better "user experience" – a subjective perception of speed by the end user.
In a number of cases it is possible to substantially increase the speed of the web loading, if we focus on several areas that are necessary to be optimized. As a result, we have to reduce the number of HTTP requests and the size of downloaded data to an essential minimum, and to write an optimized program code because, although the current computing performance of devices is high, even a very high-performance machine often "loses breath" and the user can feel it in the speed with which he/she can browse the web.
The main and most extended areas of optimization are as follows:
- HTML, CSS, JavaScript,
- images,
- URL addresses,
- caching (special purpose buffer storing).
HTML, CSS, JavaScript and other text formats
It particularly concerns the HTML code itself, Cascading Style Sheets and JavaScript to which the following rules are applied:
- To remove from HTML everything that is not necessary there–from my point of view this mainly concerns comments. They should remain in templates from which HTML is generated, but they should not get into the output. Sometimes it is recommended also for the entire deletion of white spaces and "unnecessary" closing tags
(), but I would prefer to avoid it because it will be handled by the switched on compression.
- To switch on compression for all the text formats (gzip+deflate) –this mainly concerns HTML, XML, TXT, JS and CSS files.
- To prearrange contents with the help of "Link prefetching" –basically it is a mechanism with which it is possible to force the browser to "pre-download" certain contents at a time when it is idle, and thus to save the user's time.
- To place CSS files at the beginning of HTML to the heading and, on the contrary, to place JS at the end.
- To combine CSS and JS files. The combination, at least in case of JS, should be ideally handled by the portal platform. In case of CSS, it can be handled e.g. with a preprocessor (LESS, SASS, …), or with the help of various more complex tools with diversely advanced GUI, such as Koala, Prepros App, WinLESS, etc., or a more robust tools based on the command line – Grunt, PHỞ DEVSTACK. It is also possible to use a number of online tools – YUI Compressor, Google Closure Compiler.
- To minificate CSS and JS files. Minification is usually handled by the very developer, e .g. by using the tools described above.
- As to JS libraries of third parties that are not necessary for the functioning and imaging of a page, to load them asynchronously (Google Analytics …), or to link them directly from the source or some common warehouse (Google Hosted Libraries).
- To make general optimizations of the code, e. g. not to use general selectors (*) in CSS, not to use the clause @import for loading other CSS because it increases HTTP requests, not to use "CSS Expressions", not to waste resources in JS, to create a valid code, etc.
Images are part and parcel of the web and very often the entire web is built on them, and they can represent a substantial part of the web volume. It is therefore important to devote effort to their optimization.
- For a given image always to choose the right format (GIF, JPG, PNG) according to the image contents or its placing, i. e. to decide whether lossy or lossless compression and thus the image format is chosen. Simultaneously it is necessary to pay attention to the size of the final file, which has to be as small as possible while preserving the original quality.
- For images making up the very web design to use the so-called "CSS Sprites", when individual images are put in a single file, and then placed in the web layout with the help of CSS (background-position). This technique saves HTTP requests. Images can be united manually directly in a graphic editor, or with the help of a tool – sprite me, stitches
- Always to specify image sizes either directly in HTML or in CSS. This will avoid different intermediate states and "skipping" elements on a page. At the same time, these sizes must correspond to real sizes of a given image. This means e. g. for previews of 20x20px not to use an image with real sizes of 250x250px. This saves transferred data.
- It is suitable to use the so-called lazy loading, when the contents of a page are loaded only when the user needs them. It can be used for different parts of the contents (for "infinity-scroll"), but it is suitable for gradual loading of images, which can save the volume of transferred data and HTTP requests. It is profusely used in responsive design.
- Data URIs – for reducing the number of HTTP requests in case of images of a small volume it is possible to use inserting images in the web with the help of the so-called "data URIs", when the contents of an image is inserted directly in HTML or CSS. Such an image is then accessible immediately after the loading of a given HTML page (file CSS). The contents of such a data URI image are coded with the help of Base64 and subsequently inserted in the page: data[][;charset=][;base64],. With respect to data, such an image is then larger by a third only due to the essence of the Base64 coding. It is profusely used in responsive design, or in mail templates. For more information go to –http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_URI_scheme
URL addresses
- To avoid requirements for inexistent files (error 404) –e. g. an erroneously set path to an image in a document or a path to an image in a CSS file.
- To use more hostnames (domains) for the possibility of using several simultaneous HTTP processes–see the part on caching (reverse proxy cache server).
- Serving static files through reverse proxies–to use a reverse proxy cache server for serving static resources (JS, CSS and images). It is suitable to choose a solution when different types of files are served from different hosts in order to avoid the problem with the browser limited number of HTTP requests per host.
- To use the cache of a visitor's browser with the help of setting expiration headers for static resources (JS, CSS and images), and thus not to download the already downloaded files but to use their local versions. The response of the web server with a static source file must contain all expiration headers, which are necessary for a successful caching of both on reverse proxies and browsers.
- To issue static resources through the persistent HTTP connection (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_persistent_connection), i. e. to set the Keep-Alive header on the web server to the optimal value of 15 seconds.
- To consider the use of CDN (Content Delivery Network) for issuing large static files (this particularly concerns video contents).
- If it is possible to use the so-called "full page caching" and to cache entire assembled pages, when the final page is not generated on the server side every time again, but after the first generation its form is stored in the server as HTML and this version is subsequently issued for visitors. It can be used for individual pages, sections or the entire web with a fixed or variable length of expiration in connection with the load performance optimization (performance tuning) of the web server.
Tools for analysis
If you wish to inquire about your pages or to get down to your own optimization, there is a number of tools with which the web can be analysed and which frequently even show a list of possible solutions. One of the best known tools is Google PageSpeed Tools, which exist as a separate online tool or a browser extension.
This tool analyses your page and returns a list of suggestions for its optimization, basing itself on PageSpeed Rules. But the results of the analysis should be seen from a dispassionate point of view, and not to chase thoughtlessly the highest PageSpeed rank. All the measurements may not be completely accurate.
Another interesting tool is e. g. WebPageTest, which works on a similar principle as Google PageSpeed, but a user anxious for more details will find it more enjoyable.
For a basic overview of the condition of your web it is also sufficient to use most current browsers where in the respective tools for developers you can access such basic information as HTTP requests, caches, compression and sizes of transferred data.
PageSpeed Module
If you have a possibility of administering your WWW server Apache or if you use your own, it is recommended to use, apart from the above optimizations, also PageSpeed Module. It is an open-source module pro Apache, which automatically applies PageSpeed Rules to the web.
The described points constitute a basis of how to detect places that hinder the speed of the loading of your web and how to eliminate these shortcomings. Some techniques are simple, but they should be taken into account right from the beginning of our project, others are relatively complicated in terms of implementation and they also require appropriate development capacities and/or the coordination of the administrator of the operational web infrastructure (web server). It is also necessary to take into account that optimizations should be made repeatedly in relation to the development cycle (with every new release). Anyhow, the result of effort exercised in front-end optimizations is worthwhile and, apart from a substantial acceleration of the web loading, leads to a more satisfied user who is our top priority.

France's Alpine LeMans team presented their new prototype that will run in 2013 during the 24 hours of Le Mans and European Le Mans Series championship. The return marks the Alpine brand revival in the automotive world.
2013 Alpine LeMans N°36 Car
Alpine, the famous French brand owned by Renault, will return to endurance competitions after 35 years of absence. French will push their prototype to the limits in the LMP2 class. The name of Alpine's machine is simply called N ° 36. First appearance of the new prototype took place yesterday at the Renault Atelier on Champs-Elysees, Paris, while first presence of the model at the workspace will take place, as normal, in weekend – March 26 to 27, at the Paul Ricard circuit.
2013 Alpine LeMans N°36 Car
The Alpine LeMans prototype will be driven by two drivers in the Elms championship (European Le Mans Series), Nelson Panciatici and Pierre Ragues. During the 24 hours of Le Mans, the two pilots will be seconded by Tristan Gommendy.
Alpine's LeMans prototype is a Nissan named N°36, fitted with a VK45 V8 engine by Nissan, which develops 500 hp. It is completed by a sequential X-Trac six-speed transmission that engages the rear wheels. The braking system is provided by Brembo and Michelin tires were fitted. Length of prototype called "N ° 36" is 4610 mm and its wheelbase is 2870 mm. Width is 1995 mm and weight is 900 kg. Thanks to these features, the model can reach a top speed of 330 km/h. (202mph)
The new Alpine-Nissan LeMans prototype is built for LMP2 by Signatech and was launched four years before the official relaunch of French's sports brand. The guys from Signatech have over 22 years of experience in competing race cars and their models boast with 15 titles, 47 poles, 76 wins and 48 records on various circuits.
Good luck Alpine in this year's European Le Mans Series!

Accident: HS 748-2A, G-AYIM, Dublin Airport, 6 July 1996: Report No 1998-001
The accident was notified to the Air Accident Investigation Unit (AAIU) by Dublin Air Traffic Control at 0110 hours on the 6 July 1996. An AAIU Inspector arrived on scene at 0200 hours on the same day.
The aircraft, which was on a scheduled cargo flight from Liverpool, landed on Runway 28 at Dublin Airport at 0100 hours and taxied to Stand 55 on the South Apron. Having brought the aircraft to a stop, the cockpit crew commenced their shutdown drills, which included a 30 second temperature stabilisation with engines at idling speed. During this time the marshaller approached from in front of the aircraft and chocked the nose wheel. Having chocked this wheel, a witness observed the marshaller walking backwards in an arc, giving a thumbs-up to the cockpit as he did so. Seconds later, the marshaller came in contact with the idling port propeller and received fatal injuries to his head. None of the witnesses present observed the actual propeller strike to the marshaller.

Sydney FC have signed promising young defender Ben Warland until the end of the Hyundai A-League 2018/19 season, the club confirmed today.
Earlier, Adelaide United confirmed the 21-year-old centre-back would depart the Reds in order to 'pursue another opportunity'.
Warland has played six times for the Reds in the A-League this season, having last pulled on an Adelaide shirt when he helped eke out a 0-0 draw at Coopers Stadium against the Sky Blues earlier this month.
The South Australian-born youngster also played against Sydney FC in the 2017 FFA Cup Final and will link up with the Sky Blues immediately.
Warland said he was excited by the opportunity to join the reigning Champions.
"The chance to join the best club in the league doesn't come around every day, I'm really excited and grateful to be joining the Sky Blues," Warland said.
"I've seen the standards set by the club, it's a professional environment I want to be a part of, and I'll give my all to defend the club's titles and put our stamp on Asia.
"I can't wait to get started and I'm keen for the year ahead."
Sydney FC Head Coach Graham Arnold said Warland would fit in perfectly to his side and provide ample competition for places during the busiest period of the season.
"Ben is a young left-footed central defender with a great attitude and a will to learn, and he'll provide us with another option in defence heading into a hectic schedule," Arnold said.
"I've watched him from afar for a while now and I'm impressed by the potential he's shown. He'll possess all the right traits to be a Sky Blue and he'll fit in well with this squad.
"I'm looking forward to working with Ben and I welcome him to Sydney FC."

The Taken (Celestial Blues #1) by Vicki Pettersson
Griffin Shaw used to be a PI, but that was back when gumshoes hoofed the streets . . . and he was still alive. Fifty years later, he's an angel, but that doesn't make him a saint. One small mistake has altered fate, and now he's been dumped back onto the mortal mudflat to collect another soul—Katherine "Kit" Craig, a journalist whose latest investigation is about to get her clipped.
Bucking heavenly orders, Grif refuses to let the sable-haired siren come to harm. Besides, protecting her offers a chance to solve the mystery of his own unsolved murder—and dole out some overdue payback for the death of his beloved wife, Evie.
Joining forces, Kit and Grif's search for answers leads beyond the blinding lights of the Strip into the dark heart of an evil conspiracy. But a ruthless killer determined to destroy them isn't Grif's biggest threat. His growing attraction to Kit could cost them both their lives, along with the answer to the haunting question of his long afterlife . . .
Moonlight Becomes You by Mary Higgins Clark
From Queen of Suspense Mary Higgins Clark, a thriller "that grabs you with the first paragraph and never lets go" (USA TODAY) about a woman desperate to uncover the truth behind her beloved stepmother's death.At a party in Manhattan, Maggie Holloway—one of the fashion world's most successful photographers—is thrilled to be reunited with her beloved stepmother. A widow now, Nuala Moore is equally delighted to see her long-lost stepdaughter, and she invites Maggie to spend a few weeks at her home in Newport, Rhode Island. But when Maggie arrives, she finds Nuala murdered, apparently by a burglar.
Heartbroken, Maggie is stunned to learn she had inherited Nuala's stunning Victorian home…and horrified when she begins to suspect that Nuala's death was not random, but part of a diabolical plot conceived by a twisted mind. When Nuala's dear old friend, Greta Shipley, dies suddenly of supposedly natural causes, Maggie is convinced that there is a link between these two and other recent deaths among the older women of Newport. What she doesn't realize is that she has now become a target for the killer as well, and that each clue she uncovers brings her closer to an unimaginable fate.

Disney delivers theatre-quality video content of 'Narnia' to video-enabled iPods and PCs
MUMBAI: Buena Vista Pictures Marketing, a unit of the Walt Disney Studios announced the availability of full- screen, theatrical-quality video content from Walt Disney Pictures/Walden Media's The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe directly to the PCs and video-enabled iPods of movie fans.
Using a broadband video software platform from Maven Networks, Disney launched The Narnia Full-Screen Experience. The Internet channel, available on the film's official website, narnia.com, allows broadband consumers to receive trailers, clips, behind-the-scenes segments, interviews, and other film content to their laptops or PCs in unmatched theatrical quality.
For consumers who enjoy "on the go" viewing options, the Maven software allows them to receive trailers and clips that are automatically downloaded and synchronized directly to their video-enabled iPods.
With this initiative, Disney becomes the first film studio to publish promotional campaigns to video-enabled iPods. With video consumption rapidly on the rise online and through Internet-enabled devices, Maven's software allows Disney to deliver and manage its video content in a single package, optimally encoded and formatted for iPod, PC and TV viewing. Other video solutions only provide video optimised for a single device or require content owners to pre-select formats and download content independently and multiple times.
"The Narnia Full-Screen Experience ushers in an exciting, cutting-edge way of delivering movie materials to audiences. The Maven application allows movie fans at home to see trailers and clips the way they should be seen, in the highest theatrical quality possible. With the tremendous amount of interest we've already seen for 'The Chronicles of Narnia,' we felt this was the perfect opportunity to partner with Maven, as there is no better application to showcase the scope and grandeur of the movie," said Buena Vista Pictures Marketing senior vice president publicity Dennis Rice.
"Consumers are watching videos online anywhere, anytime they want, and want access to the same content on all of their entertainment devices. We're proud to partner with Disney in making highest-quality content available to video-enabled iPods and PCs, and in helping them market their film content to meet changing consumer viewing habits," said Maven Networks CEO Hilmi Ozguc.
Maven Networks' broadband video software platform powers the online experience of film studios, media companies and marketers who seek rich user experience in an era when consumers spend more of their media time online. Once installed, the Narnia channel automatically checks for content updates, and will also offer a range of interactive options, including the ability to send to a friend, check for movie times and purchase tickets.
Directed by Andrew Adamson and produced by Academy Award-winning producer Mark Johnson, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe is one of the most highly anticipated movies of the year, and is scheduled to release worldwide on 9 December.

Spring 2020 Ready-to-WearCynthia Rowley
Today, a bird pooped on me during the Cynthia Rowley show. (At first I thought it was a stray droplet from an air conditioner, but no.) This felt like one of those ironic, existential moments. Fashion Week is the most well-heeled time of the year and I was sitting befouled (or befowled) on one of the most beautiful streets in New York, a section of Tribeca's Jay Street that has an old-timey overpass above it. (Rowley's team moved there a few months ago and call it one of the most Instagrammable spots in the city.) Birds aside, outdoor shows have a lot to be said for them: no tyrannical air conditioning, and it's fun to see the passersby curiously watching what is going on. In this case, there was so much commotion that onlookers were hanging off fire escapes to see what was happening street level.
So what was going on? Rowley made the runway from a long carpet comprised of illustrations from Doctor Seuss's Oh, The Places You'll Go. (She had acquired the rights from the estate.) Down the carpet-runway floated a boho black peasant dress with groovy pastel florals. (Pretty!) A low-slung silk pant in a sweatpant silhouette that was swirled with chocolate brown, bronze, white, and pink added a needed masculine factor to the femme-forward collection. At times the florals felt too heavy-handed, as when printed all-over on an oversized boxy jacket, but the macramé technique using trippy florals was, well, groovy. Rowley later noted that she'll be traveling to various international cities to show this collection, hence the Seuss reference.

The Royal Norwegian Embassy in Lilongwe is funding four development projects as part of its Agriculture and Food Security Portfolio. The purpose of the Mid-Term Review is to assess the achievement of the four projects against the goals, impacts and outputs outlined in the projects document, and propose recommendations for future work and support.
Although the projects differ in their methods of implementation, and in their areas of emphasis, the overall goals are similar, sometimes identical. This, and the potential for inter-project learning, is why the Mid Term Reviews need to be conducted for all four projects simultaneously, as well as assessed overall as a portfolio.
The LTS-led team will:
Values and Benefits
A workshop to share the review findings and to jointly agree on conclusions and recommendations will be held. This will create a safe space for project implementers to explore what the findings mean for them and develop a jointly owned set of review recommendations that can feasibly be implemented.

Tonka beans are the most versatile ingredient and are harvested from a flowering tree native to South America and dried. The fragrance of the tonka bean, once also used in the manufacture of perfume, is reminiscent of vanilla, almonds, cinnamon and cloves, with hints of caramel and even tobacco. While the flavour is outstanding on its own, it adds a unique dimension when paired with chocolate, vanilla, cinnamon.
Wrinkled and black in appearance, the inside of the hard bean is a dusty chocolate brown that can be applied to dishes in the same way as nutmeg; easily grated as needed.
While the tonka bean has savoury applications (such as in certain regional French stews), its more popular applications are sweet: tonka bean ice cream, tonka bean panna cotta, tonka bean crème brulee, chocolate desserts, truffles and many other dishes.

Weight and body image have been issues for me since I was in grade school. I probably tried nearly every diet pill and fad diet over the years, always searching for a quick fix but long term solution. So often, the limiting factor in having long term success for me and women like me is lack of TIME…lack of time to meal prep, meal plan, exercise, etc.
I am on a mission to find solutions for fast but lasting weight loss midst the chaos of life. As I navigate this journey, I am passionate about encouraging others and offering hope to women like me who are looking to do the same.
A Little History
Growing up, I was always a bit on the "fluffy" side, and self-conscious about my weight. I was not obese, but never what I would consider an ideal weight. There were periods in my life during which I lost weight, often not with the healthiest of methods, and it was never long-lasting.
I am now in my 40s, have a wonderful family and a successful career. Regardless of my successes in life, however, weight tends to occupy my mind more than it should and can completely overshadow other accomplishments.
Like many women, I have spent most of my life being something to someone else, whether it be a wife to my husband, a mother to my kids, a leader for my employees, a daughter to my parents, etc. Somewhere I lost myself. The chaos of life kept me from focusing on my self and my health. Now it is time to get a grip and find a healthy way of being for the long-term. I cannot truly be my best for others if I don't care for myself.
Success is Possible
I have already found some weight loss success and am excited for what lies ahead. I am energized and more engaged in life. I am learning healthy habits that don't take a bunch of extra time from my already busy schedule.
We all have different life circumstances and obstacles that affect what weight loss program will work. Barriers may be time, finances, support, dietary restrictions and dietary preference. It is vital to find something that matches individual need and resources. On this site, I will be providing information that I hope will help others like me find weight loss success midst the chaos of every day life.
Give to Yourself
Change takes effort, but WE ARE WORTH IT! So many of us spend our lives giving to others. Give yourself permission to put yourself first. Being our best self will allow us to be our best for others.
Have a look around. I hope you find something that helps you on your weight loss journey. If you have something to share in regard to weight loss for busy women, I would love to hear it!
Here's to losing in order to gain!
All the best,

February 8, 2016
Last night Coldplay performed at halftime of Super Bowl 50.
The premise of this month's challenge is that music will take us back to very specific places and times and Coldplay did just that. It took me back four and a half years to the center of Apple's Infinite Loop campus.
I was out in Cupertino working as a contractor for Apple when the woman who organized the job I was on stopped by to tell me that work would be cancelled the next morning for a celebration of Steve Jobs.
The world had been mourning Steve's death but this would be Apple saying goodbye and thank you.
I thanked her for telling me.
She paused on her way out the door and said, "I'll check, but I think you can go too if you'd like."
And so early the next morning I walked around the main campus and entered with thousands of Apple employees and contractors and guests.
Four huge black and white images of Steve at different stages of his life looked down at us. It was breath taking.
Tim Cook came out to start the day. I don't want to overstate this but you couldn't help falling in love with Tim as the next leader of Apple. You knew the company was in the right hands. You knew that this was the man who understood what Apple had been, what Apple could be, and what Apple should be.
For so many years before we even knew that Steve was sick - perhaps before he was sick - analysts had speculated that Apple couldn't survive the loss of Steve Jobs.
At the memorial it was clear that Steve had thought a lot about that. He'd looked at Disney and the paralysis that followed Walt's passing and advised those around them that they couldn't be held back by considering what Steve would have done.
Tim gently passed that on to those gathered. He looked back and helped them see the way forward. He led.
Bill Campbell and Al Gore gave inspirational business-centric talks. Jony Ive gave a very personal and beautiful talk about his work with Steve. He pointed to Steve's brilliance and gifts while still sharing tales of Steve's misses and personality quirks.
You should watch Apple's video of the event A celebration of Steve's life.
Towards the end, Ive introduces the band Coldplay. They take the stage and lead singer Chris Martin says "We played this song for Steve ten years ago and he said it was sh**. He said we'd never make it."
It was perfect.
It was appropriate.
It was the moment I was transported back to as I heard the half time show last night.
Last night's show was spectacle and timed to the moment and rehearsed and blocked and supported by a cast of thousands.
That day in October a little over four years ago was none of that.
This morning a lot of the reviewers talk about how Beyonce blew Coldplay off the stage.
She didn't.
She was great but her performance was as much a part of the greater whole as Coldplay's.
Coldplay's set at Apple didn't change what Tim, Bill, Al, or Jony contributed. It was part of that day's greater whole.
That day in October, I hardly knew who Coldplay was. Earlier in the day one of my favorite performers sat behind a piano and blew me away with two songs for Steve.
Norah Jones playing and indescribable voice transported me.
She sings about "The nearness of you" and we hold on to our thoughts of Steve's legacy.
She follows by musing "If I were a painter, I would paint my memories".
It's a perfect set that closes with Bob Dylan's "Forever Young".
Jones' place in the ceremony helped us reflect and cry when we needed to. Coldplay helped us smile and look to the future.
Neither showed up the other.
Not everything need be a competition.
"May you always do for others and may others do for you".

"Those who walk on the well-trodden path always throw stones at those who are showing a new road."
Julie Croteau didn't ask to be at the center of controversy, but she wasn't going shrink from a fight, either. In 1988, Croteau was one of the last cuts from her High School's (all male) baseball team. Julie had tried out for the school's JV team as a Sophomore, making the team in a testament to her perseverance. The coach had suggested she try softball instead, but she would not be persuaded. She had been playing baseball since Little League at the age of 6. As a member of the JV team, Croteau was stuck on the bench for the season. Her Junior year, the JV team did not have a roster spot for her. So when she tried out for the Varsity team as a Senior, there was some amount of ammunition for the coach to say she wasn't ready to play on the varsity team. Despite the fact that Croteau had ample experience outside of the school team, and that the team itself had a terrible record and could have used more quality players, Croteau was not given a chance to prove it against live competition. Croteau's parents, both experienced lawyers, sued the school for discrimination, citing the landmark Title IX decision. Her would be teammates testified against her, as did her coach, and the judge ruled against her, adding there is no constitutional right to get to first base, a particularly distasteful turn of phrase.
One of the reporters covering the trial was also a coach for the semi-pro Fredericksburg Giants. The team is similar to the Cape Cod League, with pre-college and/or pre-minor league players competing for the attention of College and Pro scouts. While playing for the team, she was admitted to St. Mary's College of Maryland. She was assured that she would be judged on the merits of her playing ability only, and if she made the team, she would be allowed to play. St. Mary's Baseball team is a Division III NCAA program. She made the team, as the backup First Basewoman. Julie's first game was the first by any women to play for a Division III Men's baseball Team. In her first season for St. Mary's, she hit .222.
The Colorado Silver Bullets were an all-female franchise that played exhibition games throughout the United States for four seasons. Croteau played in the inaugural season for the team, then played in the MLB sanctioned Hawaiian Winter League for the Maui Stingrays, going 1-12. She continued playing for the Fredericksburg Giants and also started coaching for college teams. In 1995, she became the first woman to coach for Division I NCAA Baseball Program, at the University of Massachusetts - Amherst. She also led the U.S. Women's National team to Gold Medal in 2006, after serving as the team's 3rd Base coach in a 2004 Gold Medal run.
She currently works at Stanford University as the Director of Communications in the Health Improvement Program of the Medical School.

HOUSTON -- Ninety-two games of the same game plan can't be spoiled by one extremely tough night at the office.
So when the Houston Rockets declare that they will not change their isolation-happy ways after losing Game 1 of the Western Conference finals, and the home court advantage that was their security blanket against the Golden State Warriors, it's not about arrogance.
It's about sticking to what works, what has worked for the Rockets all season, from training camp until now.
It's about staying the course, even during a time when it seems obvious to everyone else that change is needed.
Those 45 isolation plays by just two players, James Harden and Chris Paul, couldn't deliver the Rockets the win they needed.
But what looked like a stubborn reliance on a scheme that proved futile against the Warriors Monday night, looked a bit different after the Rockets spent the night dwelling on what went wrong.
The Warriors shook the Rockets' foundation, hit them with so many shots it left them reeling.
"Yeah, we got a little rattled with ourselves and we can't do that," Rockets coach Mike D'Antoni said. "Like I said, we've got to be able to absorb some body blows. They got us a little bit. We sagged a little bit with our spirit. That won't happen Wednesday [in Game 2, 9 ET on TNT]. We're going to have a heck of a good battle on Wednesday."
A battle that will include the Rockets feasting on a steady diet of the isolation plays that led them to the league's best record, a franchise-best 65 wins during the regular season.
Too much Harden? Too much Paul? Way too much iso ball?
D'Antoni doesn't want to hear it, not after all they have done to get here.
"That's what we do," he said. "We are who we are, and we're pretty good at it. We can't get off who we are. Embrace it. Just be better of who we are and don't worry if somebody else solves the puzzle a different way. Fine, that's how they solve it. We solve our puzzle this way. We've got to play at our strengths. We know our strengths and we've just got to do it better.
"You know what? Play through it. So be it. This just comes down to a dogfight. It doesn't come down to feeling comfortable. Everybody's feeling uncomfortable. Your hair should be on fire, and you should be playing and spitting blood out there. This is hard stuff to overcome, one of the better teams ever in the history of the NBA. They've got to embrace the situation."
The raw numbers are on D'Antoni's side. Harden and Paul scored 64 points in Game 1, nearly matching the Warriors' top two scorers (65 combined for Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson combined for 65).
So the high scorers all but canceled each other out. Where the Rockets cannot afford to falter this time is with Trevor Ariza, P.J. Tucker and Luc Mbah a Moute are concerned.
They combined for nine points, eight from Ariza, who was limited to just 23 minutes and 21 seconds, due to early foul trouble, 11 rebounds and a number of miscues on both ends that contributed to the Rockets' struggles.
These are the three men whose chief responsibility was to deal with Durant defensively and fill in whatever gaps the Rockets needed offensively.
Instead, they were the all non-factors. Tucker missed all three of his shots, two from beyond the 3-point line, and Mbah a Moute finished 0-for-6 from the floor, missing three layups and two wide-open 3-pointers.
The mistakes are correctible, Ariza said. They watched the film. There weren't any surprises. The in-game communication issues won't be an issue going forward. And the confidence they've had in their game plan and each other all season, won't crumble under the pressure of a must-win Game 2.
You know what? Play through it. So be it.
"Yeah, the confidence is always here," Ariza said. "We are a confident team. We feel like we have two of the best players in the NBA and the players around them are the best at what they do as well. So it's just about us coming out and knowing that and continuing to play like that."
Harden did his part to make sure his teammates understood exactly what's at stake. And he's in lockstep with his coach about the Rockers staying the course the rest of this series.
Why change now?
"That's what we've been doing all year long," he said. "We went two months and maybe lost a game or two by doing what we do. So it won't change; we've just got to do it better. They did what they do better than what we do better last night. So we watched film and we've just got to do it a little harder."
They need to play with the same "swag" that led them to the top of the heap during the regular season.
"That's what we've had all year," Harden said. "That's why we're in this position. Last night at times we didn't have it. We've got to have it the full course of the game, especially playing against the Warriors."

Who is Milo Yiannopoulos? What are his most controversial views?
MILO Yiannopoulos is an alt-right poster boy who thrives on controversy and has even been accused of condoning paedophilia. But who is he?
Mr Yiannopoulos is under fire after the emergence of footage in which he appears to condone sexual relations with boys as young as 13.
The alt-right provocateur has denied that he has ever condoned child sex abuse and blamed "British sarcasm" and "deceptive editing" for the misunderstanding.
But Mr Yiannopoulos has lost a book deal and has been disinvited from speaking at a conservative conference in the US in the wake of the scandal.
Who is Milo Yiannopoulos and what are his controversial views?
Who is Milo Yiannopoulos?
Mr Yiannopoulos is an ultra-conservative writer who has railed against immigrants, Muslims, transgender people and women's rights.
The 32-years-old is an editor of conservative news website Breitbart and has said gay rights had made society 'dumber' despite being gay himself.
Mr Yiannopoulos calls himself the "most fabulous supervillain on the internet" but his critics accuse him of peddling hate speech.
Yiannopoulos has come under fire for appearing to condone paedophilia
Born to a Greek father and a British mother in Greece, he grew up in Kent before relocating to the US.
His rise to internet stardom came during the Gamergate controversy when gamers across the globe engaged in heated debate about sexism in the gaming industry.
Gamergate sparked a wave of harassment towards female gamers and Mr Yiannopoulos became known as a 'troll king'. His YouTube channel has more than 500,000 subscribers.
In 2016 Yiannopoulos was banned from Twitter after the social network concluded that he was "participating in or inciting targeted abuse of individuals".
Publishers have dropped Yiannopoulos' upcoming book 'Dangerous'
It came after he took aim at Ghostbusters remake actress Leslie Jones who was then bombarded with abuse from his followers.
Mr Yiannopoulos is a fierce supporter of Donald Trump and even calls him daddy.
During an appearance on US TV show Real Time on Friday, he joked about not being able to fit in because he is a "gay Jew who never shuts up about his black boyfriend".
He has provoked outrage with columns given incendiary headlines like 'Would you rather your child had feminism or cancer?' and 'Birth Control Makes Women Unattractive and Crazy'.
