One of the things that can lead to problems in playing scales cleanly at higher speeds is trouble with string crossing. This week I'd like to show you a couple of practice tips for dealing with this and other right hand problems. The first is one which is very useful for many technical problems: to practice the right hand only.
For example, the oh-so-familiar C major pattern shown below:
Practice this a few times paying close attention to the finger which 'leads' the string crossing as well as any hand arm adjustments which need to be made as you move up and down across the strings. Then add the left hand back in and Voila! – you're Pepe Romero! Ok, so maybe not quite, but you get the idea.
Now let's look at a real-world example; the first of two scale passages in Luis Milan's first Pavan:
Again, playing right hand alone you have:
Here I've included several r.h. fingering choices. Try them all, choose one (I like the middle one) and again practice it several times paying close attention to the finger leading the crossing. When you really start to feel it, add the left hand back in and you should really notice a difference – smoother and more confident. You may also notice that the left hand seems sluggish now and could be lagging behind so watch out for this.
Try this important practice technique whenever you have problems with smoothness or consistency in faster scale or arpeggio passes.
Secondly, I'd like to suggest a simple exercise I use for improving scale playing in general and especially zeroing in on string crossing problems. It's also one that I suggest for players who have trouble with basic alternation i.e. if you have trouble maintaining constant i-m alternation throughout a scale passage.
It starts off very easily, with the i-m combination moving regularly and evenly from string to string. Then, when doing the triplet groups, you need to be aware of the finger which is leading the string crossing. I think in groups of three, mentally accenting the first of each group: ImiMimImiMimImiMim…. The third variant, two on a string, is again easier with each group of 2 starting with the same finger, but the last one, one on a string, is fairly difficult to play smoothly and quickly. There are two issues here: one is the string crossing, but even more difficult is how to move the hand/arm to account for the distance you are traveling from the first to sixth string and back again. Try it: you'll notice that you tend to want to bend the wrist or that you have to adjust your hand position relative to the strings to compensate for the hand coming closer to or away from your chin. Think about possible solutions to this problem – I'll check in next week with my suggestions.

Cape Town - Hull City must keep their cool and stick together to get a win during Sunday's crucial Premier League game at Crystal Palace with both teams fighting to maintain their top flight status next season, manager Marco Silva has said.
Hull's 2-0 loss to Sunderland on Saturday added to a dismal run of one win in their last five league matches and left them third from bottom on 34 points, one point adrift of safety and four behind 16th-placed Palace with two games left.
Palace have slumped into the relegation scrap after three consecutive league losses but Silva said his team have to remain focused when they visit Selhurst Park.
"When we win, we win all together," Silva told British media. "When we lose, we lose all together.
"We have to be calm. The first thing we need to be (against Palace) is calm. You cannot play well if you are not.
"Even when you don't play well, it's important that we keep our focus. We didn't achieve what we wanted (against Sunderland) but we have two more games. We will fight until the end."
If Hull lose at Palace and rivals Swansea City beat already-relegated Sunderland, the Tigers' elimination to the Championship will be confirmed before their final game against Tottenham Hotspur.
"We will prepare for these games like we prepare for the others," Silva added.
"If they listen to our staff and me, they need to play. These are the moments for the big players, the very good players. The good teams show what they can do in these moments."
The action gets underway at 13:00.

A network power switch can provide network administrators and tech support personnel with an incredibly convenient tool for controlling power and reboot functions at off-site data centers and remote network equipment cabinets. In many cases, the remote reboot and power control functions provided by a network power switch can allow you to deal with power related problems with remote network elements without the expense and lost time of traveling to the network equipment site in person.
The ability to reboot remote network devices is such a valuable asset, that these days, it's rare to find a remote network equipment application that doesn't include some sort of network power switch or switched PDU. The benefits provided by a network power switch are obvious, but with these benefits also come a measure of vulnerability, and that's why it's important to make certain that your network power switch solution also includes adequate security and authentication measures to protect vital remote power switching and reboot capabilities from unauthorized access.
As with all network devices, a good network power switch must also support a robust assortment of security and authentication measures in order to ensure that reboot and power switching functions remain protected. A user directory with password protection is a good first step towards network power switch security, but in order to provide a truly effective deterrent to hackers and other potential menaces, a network power switch must also support authentication protocols such as TACACS+, LDAP, Kerberos and RADIUS in order to help to ensure that each potential user is indeed who they claim to be.
In addition to supporting popular authentication protocols, a truly secure network power switch should also support secure communication protocols such as SSH and HTTPS and encryption formats such as FIPS and SSHv2 in order to provide a layered approach to system security and pose additional obstacles to stand in the way of unauthorized access. If the network power switch will be accessed via dial-up connection, then features such as callback security should be present in order to discourage unauthorized out of band access.
Callback security provides a simple, yet effective solution for secure out of band communication with a network power switch. When callback security is properly configured and enabled, callers who attempt to access the network power switch command mode via dial-up will be presented with username/password prompts. When the caller enters a valid username/password, they will not immediately be allowed to access command functions. Instead, the network power switch will first hang-up the phone line, then dial the user back at a phone number that has been previously defined for the individual user account. When the user answers the callback from the network power switch, the username/password prompt will again be displayed. Since each user is only allowed to access command functions via a predefined phone number, this essentially provides a sort of low-tech authentication for dial-up users.
When used correctly, a network power switch enables administrators to reboot remote devices, schedule power On/Off switching functions for nonessential devices and monitor power consumption and other criteria at remote network equipment sites. Sadly though, these days, there's always a flipside to any powerful network tool, in that administrators have to make doubly certain that the capabilities provided by tools such as network power switches are kept safely away from unauthorized access. Although that may be a somewhat troubling thought, administrators can reduce or eliminate most of the worries associated with remote power management by simply making certain to choose a network power switch that includes adequate security, authentication and cryptography features to discourage unwanted access and protect vital power control functions from hackers and other unauthorized users.

The thirty-second episode of Hetalia: World Series (eighty-fourth in total for Hetalia) was broadcast on October 29, 2010. It adapts from Keep Marching Forward, Sealand!, Can't Escape from Italy and England, Dreaming of Days Long Past from the third published volume.
Plot Summary[edit | edit source]
Can't Escape from Italy[edit | edit source]
England rattles the bars of a jail cell, screaming at his "Macaroni brother" captors for locking him up. He adds that if they don't let him go, he'll make their radios emit cuckoo noises.
The beat-up and sobbing Veneziano and Romano argue with each other over which one of them will guard England. Romano blames Veneziano for causing England to become their captive, while Veneziano says that he didn't think England would fall in the hole that kids had dug in front of his house (a short "chibi" flashback is shown to illustrate this event). Unbeknownst to them, England is busy digging himself out of the cell.
Romano threatens to stick Veneziano in marmite if he finds England in a hole again. Veneziano promises that he won't do it again, but Romano demands that he promise it 100 times in 10 seconds. Meanwhile, England has managed to dig himself free (as a mouse hides in his hair). He remarks that he was caught off-guard, but won't go down so easily again. As England goes back to retrieve his belongings, he discovers that both Italy brothers have fallen asleep from crying too much and figures that there's got to be a limit to their carelessness.
England manages to escape, and walks through a crowd of Italians, laughing over how easy it was to break out. But he's suddenly apprehended by Germany, who demands to know what business he has there. Germany drags the tied-up England back to the Italy brothers and wonders if they're okay, but both brothers become intimidated at the sight of England and Romano screams at him for doing such an "unnecessary" thing.
The narrator states that English soldiers that escaped from Italy were easy to spot, and adds to think about the reason why.
England, Dreaming of Days Long Past[edit | edit source]
France informs the other Allies that they'll have to halt the meeting in order to figure out a solution to a bigger problem: The question of who will wake up England, who has fallen asleep at the table.
France adds that England's "cruel" to sleep, while he himself can't sleep due to having nightmares of Germany's dog every night. China points out that England's actually sound asleep, while Russia (holding a pickaxe) asks if the others mind him taking up the challenge. China replies that they should do it without a dangerous object, but that force wouldn't hurt.
America suggests that they let England sleep, as it'd be quieter. However, he overhears England mumbling in his sleep and asking him if he "wet the bed again" (while a memory of the event is shown). America immediately changes his mind, smacks England awake, and scolds him for sleeping during the meeting. He then runs off laughing, with an angry England hot on his tracks.

An opening summary in volume 3 and the episode mentions a few events that happened in the unreprinted strips, such as Sealand catching fire and selling himself on eBay, though the origin of Sealand and Latvia's friendship is still left unexplained.
- The third segment in this episode was originally the final strip to England, Dreaming of Days Long Past. However, the earlier strips had already been adapted to the anime prior to the reprinted version, which replaced an unknown male with Monaco.
- This episode marks the debut of Sealand's eyecatch.

- A parody of the British tabloid The Sun is shown in this episode, titled "The Son". Sealand also uses a "Cherry" laptop, a parody of Apple.

Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML)
Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is an aggressive and rare blood cancer of the myeloid cells.1 Myeloid cells include red blood cells, platelets, and certain types of white blood cells.
AML starts in the bone marrow (the soft inner part of bones, where new blood cells are made) with a build-up of immature myeloid cells (also known as 'blasts'). These 'blasts' do not function like normal mature blood cells and rapidly grow and divide crowding out room for normal, healthy cells to grow.2
What causes AML?
AML can affect both children and adults. However, it is most common in adults and the risk of developing the disease increases with age. In the UK, it is thought 3,100 people are diagnosed with AML each year.2
It is not known what exactly causes AML. Certain factors such as age and gender can have a greater impact on the likelihood of developing the condition, but beyond this, the evidence is not entirely conclusive.1 There are some rare external factors, which are thought to increase the risk of developing AML – for example, those who have received radiotherapy as part of previous cancer treatments or people who have a previous history of other blood conditions may be more prone to developing AML.1
Diagnosis of AML
Common symptoms of AML include, bleeding, bruising, tiredness or weakness, fever and infections.1,3 During the initial stages of diagnosing AML, a GP will typically check for physical signs of the condition and take a blood test. An abnormal white blood cell count could indicate leukaemia. To confirm a diagnosis of AML, a bone marrow sample is needed.4
AML is caused by accumulation of mutations in the DNA of the affected cells. Samples are sent for laboratory testing to identify these mutations. Knowing the subtype of AML based on mutations helps doctors choose the most appropriate course of treatment and determine the risk profile of each patient's disease.
Treatment and management of AML
Treatment for AML depends on a number of factors such as age, the subtype of AML, medical fitness, risk of relapse, plus many other considerations.1
AML can progress rapidly and as such treatment usually is initiated quickly. The first aim of therapy is to kill as many 'blasts' as possible using intense drug treatments. Other treatment for AML may be considered, such as radiotherapy or a stem cell transplant.
Finding support
As the time from diagnosis to initiating treatment can be quite sudden, this can often be upsetting and confusing for people who are affected. In the UK there are several patient support services for coping with AML. Below are external links to organisations who can offer further support.
When someone receives an AML diagnosis, it is also likely to have an impact on family, friends and carers too and it can be an uncertain and worrying time for everyone. Leukaemia Care, Acute Leukaemia Advocates Network (ALAN) and Novartis have jointly developed the following video on a carer's perspective of AML, which may support you to understand what AML is, what to expect and how to better manage the journey ahead. The external organizations listed above also have useful information for everyone affected.
Our commitment
At Novartis, we're committed to helping to improve the quality of life of patients with AML. We support innovative scientific research, and have a long heritage working in haematalogical conditions. We work with both patient advocacy groups and healthcare professionals to provide patients with up-to-date information about advances in the treatment of AML.

Here is the sequel to the personal logs of Tom Paris, set around Voyager's first year in the Delta Quadrant:
Part II
STARDATE 48671.28 – Just came back from a date with Megan
Delaney. Alone, this time. We had an intimate little dinner
at a romantic restaurant on Gerdi Prime, inside Holodeck Two.
After supper, we enjoyed a walk along the beach, followed by a
nightcap inside my quarters.
Ah, Megan! Such a nice, calm person, in compare to her sister,
Jenny. There were times when she almost reminds me of . . .
Shit! What the hell is wrong with me? I just enjoyed a
pleasant night with a beautiful and intelligent woman and all I
can think about is our cook's girlfriend. Kes. God, will I
ever stop thinking about her? Or better yet, will she ever
dump Neelix? End personal log.
STARDATE 48695.34 – I nearly lost Harry, today. While enjoying
his Beowulf holonovel, Harry was captured by a photonic being
that had been accidentally brought aboard the ship. Apparently,
while we were gathering energy from a photostar. The being took
refuge inside Harry's Beowulf program and later captured him.
It also captured Tuvok and Chakotay, after they had been sent to
investigate Harry's disappearance. In the end, the Captain
sent the Doctor to rescue our missing officers. Thankfully,
the Doc succeeded and received a special commendation for his
troubles. Now, if only the Captain could order Torres to do
something about his personality subroutines. End personal log.
STARDATE 48733.51 – Voyager had a strange encounter with
something out of one of those old "B" movies that I usually
enjoy. While investigating some dark nebula, Tuvok and
Chakotay's shuttle was attacked. Tuvok only sustained minor
injuries, while the good Commander ended up brain dead. His
bio-neural energy had been removed from him.
It turned out worse than we thought. Some trianic energy being
had possessed Tuvok, in an attempt to convince the Captain to
investigate this dark nebula matter. The being belonged to a
race called the Komar, who wanted the crew's bio-neural energy
as substance for his people. Meanwhile, another entity began
invading the minds of other crewmen – including mine – in an
attempt to prevent Voyager from entering that nebula. This
second entity turned out to be Chakotay's bio-neural energy,
displaced by the Komar's attack. Just great! My brain nearly
became food for a bunch of non-corporeal beings and was twice
possessed by the Great Spirit Chief, himself. Oh well, at
least we managed to escape the nebula and the Komar. End
personal log.
STARDATE 48736.53 – This afternoon, Neelix had decided to hold
a little celebration in honor of Chakotay's recovery and our
near escape from the Komar. Jesus, this guy would just about
hold a party for anything. Not that I mind. The more parties,
the better. I suspect that this was Neelix's way of
celebrating Kes's recovery from an attack by the
Komar-possessed Tuvok. Hmmm. Certainly not a bad reason to
celebrate, in my book.
Captain Janeway and the Maquis seemed to be the only ones
really celebrating. I guess they need something to celebrate
after Seska's humiliating revelation. Well, most of the Maquis
seemed happy. I noticed B'Elanna Torres, sitting by herself
and shooting jealous looks at the very chummy Captain Janeway
and Chakotay. My God! Is that little infatuation of hers,
still going on? Doesn't she realize that Chakotay is not her
type? Too bad Harry is still mooning over his lost love,
Libby. Quite frankly, he would make a better choice for
Torres. Of course, I don't exactly relish sharing Harry's time
with her. (Beep, beep) That must be Megan. I forgot that she
was coming by for drinks, tonight. End personal log.
STARDATE 48766.73 – Not much happened today. Voyager
investigated a Class J nebula – one of many we have encountered
since our arrival in the Delta Quadrant. The only interesting
thing that happened was a minor conversation with Kes in the
Mess Hall. We discussed some our favorite foods. One of hers
happens to be something called Lokar beans. I told her about
tomato soup (something those damn replicators still haven't got
right) and peanut butter-and-jelly sandwiches. My ultimate
comfort food. By then, even Neelix got into the conversation.
I don't know if this was his way of keeping an eye on Kes and
me, or merely just genuine interest. At least we managed to
exchange a few words without any hostility or suspicion from
him. End personal log.
STARDATE 48777.42 – Another dull day in the Delta Quadrant. I
guess every day can't be an exciting encounter with a new
species. Voyager stumbled into the Avery system. It seemed to
consist of several Class M planets. The Captain, in one of her
bouts of "science exploration", decided she wanted an
investigation of magnacite formations on some of the planets.
I was assigned to explore the planet, Avery III with Pete Durst
and B'Elanna Torres. Voyager should rendezvous with us in two
days. I guess it won't be that bad. Pete's okay. He was one
of the few crewmen who had been friendly toward me from the
beginning. And as for Torres – well, we have managed to strike
up a cordial relationship in the last five or six weeks. Hell,
it's a lot better than spending two days with Chakotay or
Neelix. End personal log.
STARDATE 48790.33 – Oh God! I simply don't know where to begin!
I feel as if I had taken part in some bizarre horror vid from
the 20th century. Sigh! Might as well get it over with.
While investigating magnacite formations on Avery III with
Durst and Torres, we were captured by Vidiians. That's right.
The same species who had stolen Neelix's lungs, three months
ago. These Vidiians didn't simply steal our organs. They
forced Pete and myself to become part of their slave labor. I
had no idea what happened to B'Elanna. Until the following
day. It seemed some Vidiian doctor named Sulan had extracted
her Klingon DNA, leaving her completely Human. How gruesome!
I still remember the shock of seeing B'Elanna completely Human
for the first time. Oddly enough, I was too surprised by the
change to notice her looks. I must admit that she looked
beautiful. But then, I've always thought she made a beautiful
Klingon/Human hybrid. Not only had her looks changed, but her
personality, as well. Gone was the tough and temperamental
woman and in her place, an emotional and sad woman, driven by
fear. I guess the trauma of her situation drove her to be a
little more open about her past. She told me about her
childhood on Kessik IV and how she blamed her Klingon side for
driving her father away. She has not seen him in nearly twenty
years. If that's true, the man is an idiot. (Pauses) I think
I'm getting a little personal, here. Anyway, I tried to
comfort her with a little revelation of my own. I told her
about the haircuts Dad used to enforce upon me, at the
beginning of every summer. I don't think it worked. Then
again . . . she did smile a little.
Then everything went from bad to worse. The Vidiian guards
took Pete Durst away. That was the last time I saw him. I
tried to prevent the guards from taking him, but they didn't
want me. Can't blame them, I guess. Who would? I later
found out that they didn't want Pete to send a message to
Voyager. Instead, that monster, Dr. Sulan had Pete's face
grafted upon his. The guards came back for B'Elanna, leaving
me feel even more useless. God only know how long I would have
remained part of the slave labor force, if Chakotay hadn't
shown up, disguised as a Vidiian. Too bad we couldn't take
the Talaxian with us, but the guards were even reluctant to let
me go. We found two B'Elannas being confronted by Dr. Sulan,
with Pete's face plastered to his skin. I don't know what
shocked me more – seeing both a Klingon and a Human B'Elanna at
the same time, Dr. Sulan, or witnessing Klingon B'Elanna's
death after she saved her counterpart's life. Too bad she
died. I would have liked to have known her. End personal log.
STARDATE 48791.56 – I still can't help thinking about that Away
mission on Avery III. To me, it's a reminder of my failure as
a Starfleet officer. I can't help but wonder what I could have
done to avoid capture or save Pete. I had a dream about it,
several hours ago. At one point, Human B'Elanna's face
transformed into the dying Klingon B'Elanna's, and eventually
into Dr. Sulan, with Pete's face. I woke up in a sweat, after
that. Unable to sleep, I decided to head for Sick Bay to pay
B'Elanna a visit. She still looked Human. Unfortunately,
Chakotay was also there. And since they seemed to be sharing
a tender moment, I didn't want to interrupt. Oh well. Perhaps
I can read myself to sleep. End personal log.
STARDATE 48799.76 – I finally spoke with B'Elanna. She came to
my table, while I was eating a late dinner in the Mess Hall,
last night. We were the only ones there. She looked normal.
Her Klingon traits had returned, ridges and all. B'Elanna
told me what happened to her on Avery III. Apparently, Dr.
Sulan had used a genetron to remove her Klingon DNA, creating
two B'Elannas in the process – one Klingon and one Human. He
fell in love with the Klingon Human and used Pete's face to woo
her. He must have been a sick man. Sulan also needed a
full-blooded Klingon to test his theory that Klingon physiology
was resistant to their phage. As it turned out, he was right.
B'Elanna told me that after her Klingon couterpart's death, she
had assumed she would remain completely Human. I guess the Doc
ruined that dream when he informed her that he needed to
restore her original genetic structure, using Klingon
B'Elanna's DNA. She seemed disappointed that she would never
be completely Human. I'm not. Although I found both her Human
and Klingon selves to be beautiful, she seems more interesting
as a hybrid. I even told her so. My little remark managed to
produce a small smile, but I could tell that she didn't draw
much comfort from it. I hope that one day, she will learn to
appreciate her true self. She can really be fascinating. Now,
if only I can learn to do the same about myself. Hmmm, fat
chance of that ever happening.
Anyway, B'Elanna thanked me for supporting her during our
captivity. We also discussed Pete Durst, whose face is now
grafted upon that mad bastard's own face. When I asked if she
would like to accompany me to Sandrine's, she declined.
B'Elanna told me that she needed more rest. Oh well. At
least we've finally buried the hatchet between us and can
finally become good friends. I guess that's one thing I can be
grateful about Avery III. End personal log.
STARDATE 48804.91 – God, I'm exhausted! Not a surprise, since
I had my sleep interrupted by a call from the Bridge. Crewman
Henley failed to show up for Gamma shift. Again. This is the
third time in two months. I had to give her a personal
reprimand the last two times. Last night, I personally roused
Henley from bed and ordered her to report to the Bridge. Or
consider herself on report. After a fifteen minute debate,
which ended with me threatening her with the Brig, she
complied. I really don't know what to do with her. I can't
threaten her with the Brig, forever. I also realize that she
resents being stuck on a Starfleet vessel, thousands of light
years away from home. But one day, she will have to realize
that she has very little options. End personal log.
STARDATE 48837.63 – Voyager stopped at an M-class called
Napinne. Pleasant little place. And the inhabitants were also
pleasant. Harry, B'Elanna and myself visited the surface for a
few hours, while the Captain, Neelix and Chakotay set about
obtaining food supplies. With the fruits and vegetables now
growing in the Hydropondics Bay, hopefully Voyager won't be so
dependent upon food supplies from other planets, stations and
ships in the near future. End personal log.
STARDATE 48840.42 – Once more, Crewman Henley failed to appear
for her duty shift. This time, I put her on report. Not long
after I finished Alpha shift today, Chakotay requested my
presence in his office. To discuss Henley, unsurprisingly.
He wanted me to reconsider my decision to put Henley on report.
Give her a chance to fit in with the crew. Then he bored me
with some speech about Starfleet officers learning how to lead
subordinates. Something that already bored me to tears during
Command school. The big hypocrite! I can't believe this is the
same man who had gave me nothing but grief since we first laid eyes
upon each other. Hell, I've been giving Henley a chance for
six months! At least until now. Like it or not, both she and
Chakotay were going to have to live with that reprimand on her
record. Being an ex-Maquis, I doubt that Henley even cared.
End personal log.
STARDATE 48845.9 – After Tuvok's encounter with Ken Dalby, the
Captain has ordered Henley, Dalby and a few others to undergo
basic Starfleet training, under Tuvok. Poor bastards!
Meanwhile, various ship malfunctions have plagued the crew,
since leaving Napinne. Something to do with the bio-gel
packs. End personal log.
STARDATE 48854.3 – Life aboard Voyager has returned to normal,
thank goodness. No more malfunctions for the time being. The
Captain ordered the ship's systems to overheat, in order to
kill the virus that had infected the gel packs. My God, the
Bridge almost felt like a furnace! For a while, I wondered if
I would ever be able to breathe again. All thanks to that damn
cheese Neelix had purchased during our stay on Napinne.
Henley and the others are still undergoing their field
training. Must be working, since Henley has reported for duty
without any problems. She also requested additional training
in shuttle maneuvers in the holodeck. We'll probably never be
friends, but thank goodness I no longer have a troublemaker on
my hands. End personal log.
STARDATE 48892.4 – Harry told me an unusual tale. The Doctor's
programming and the holodeck systems had malfunctioned, thanks
to the kino-plastic radiation from a anomaly that Voyager came
across. While stuck in one of the holodecks for six hours, the
Doctor believed he was a real person named Lewis Zimmerman and
that Voyager and the crew were all a holographic simulation.
He even thought Kes was his wife. Sigh! I knew it. I've
always suspected that the Doc had eyes for our favorite
Ocampan. And this only proves it. Kes is quickly becoming
quite the little heartbreaker on this ship. She has already
captured mine. End personal log.
STARDATE 48921.4 – This has certainly been a day to
remember! I've just spent hours at the Helm, dodging a swarm
of . . . hell, I don't what they were! Some kind of life forms
that resembled a . . . Okay, they resembled human sperm.
There! I said it. I only hope that Starfleet Command never get
a hold of this log. Although the creatures resembled sperm, they
had mistaken Voyager as some kind of sexual mate. Even worse, they
began draining energy from the ship's systems, in their attempt
to procreate. More problems appeared when a large creature
appeared also began to regard Voyager as a mate. Jeez! I
didn't realize the ship looked that desirable! Both Torres and
Tuvok wanted to destroy the creature, but Chakoay suggested
that Voyager mimic the smaller ones, giving the impression to
the large creature that we have no interest in procreation with
space born creatures. Ha! Sex in the Delta Quadrant!
Speaking of sex, the Captain made a joke to the Commander about
referring to expertise whenever the subject of procreation
appears. It wasn't the joke that caught my attention, but the
way she said. I do believe our captain was flirting. The look
on B'Elanna's face was certainly memorable. She seemed
completely shocked. When I brought up the topic in the Mess
Hall, she gave me a death glare that rivaled the mighty Janeway
herself. I see that she still has that crush on Chakotay.
God, when will it ever end?
Then again, who am I to complain? I still have feelings for
Kes. In my case, I can say that it's more than a crush.
Before our encounter with the swarm, I helped her gather
Oblissian cabbages from the Hydropondics Bay. On our way to
the turbolift, we encountered Chakotay, along with Ensigns
Bennett and Gallagher. It seems the good Commander caught
them "fraternizing" in the turbolift. Hmm, perhaps the
Captain was right about him being the right man to solicit advice
about procreation. End personal log.
STARDATE 48925.38 – Plenty of surprises awaited me, when I
found Kes in the Hydropondics Bay, following my shift. First
surprise – Ensign Sam Wildman from the Science Division is
pregnant. It seems that Ensign Wildman, who happened to be a
very nice lady, had left behind a Ktarian husband on Deep Space
Nine. Considering how flat her stomach looked, my first guess
was that she sought solace in the arms of a crewman, here on
board Voyager. After all, Voyager has been in the Delta
Quadrant for over seven months, now. But according to Kes, the
embroyo is definitely half-Ktarian. Perhaps Ktarians have
a longer gestation period.
The other surprise? Kes informed me that the electrophoretic
activity from the swarm, yesterday, had sped up her elogium.
Namely, the sexual maturation for Ocampan females. They
usually go through this phase between the ages of four and
five. And since this elogium would have been Kes' only shot
at conception, she asked Neelix to mate with her.
Neelix and Kes as parents. Good grief! Now there's an image that
makes me shudder! At first, Neelix felt reluctant. Hell, if I
had known, I would have offered Kes my services. However,
Neelix eventually agreed to mate with her, but she changed her
mind, after realizing that she was not ready for parenthood.
Kes' elogium ended when Voyager left the swarm behind. I
thought she had lost her chance at motherhood and was prepared
to console her. But Kes assured me that her elogium was false
and the real phase will probably return after her fourth
birthday. I only hope that she and Neelix are no longer a twosome
by then. I realize it's a rotten thing to say, but I can't
help feeling they're wrong for each other. End personal log.
STARDATE 48946 – God, I must really be pathetic! While
playing pool with Harry and B'Elanna in Sandrine's, last night,
I spotted Kes and Neelix cuddling around a corner table, happy
as pie. Depressing sight. In typical Tom fashion, I decided
to hide my disappointment by flirting with nearly every female
in sight. Except with B'Elanna, of course. One doesn't
flirt with a close friend. I guess the old Paris charm must
have worked. Later that night, I ended up in bed with Yoshi
Kyoto. After I "subtly" sneaked out of bed this morning,
Yoshi caught me. She assured me that she wasn't looking for a
permanent relationship. I'm relieved . . . but now, I also
feel like a complete shit. End personal log.
STARDATE 48964.07 – Today was Kes' birthday. Sigh! Kes'
birthday. Huh. All I can say is that it certainly didn't turn
out the way I had expected. Not long after we surprised her
with a party inside Sandrine's, Voyager encountered a
distortion ring that transformed the ship into a labyrinth.
First, the Captain, Chakotay and I got lost, while searching
for the Bridge. We ended back inside Holodeck One. Later,
Torres and I used the turbolift to reach Engineering. To my
surprise, we were fortunate. Thanks to the distortion ship,
B'Elanna almost walked in on Crewman Nozawa inside his
quarters, dressed only in his skivvies. Let's just say it the
first time I ever saw a Klingon woman blush. A sight, I
suspect, I'll never see again.
The distortion ring proved to be the third or fourth
non-corporeal life form we've encountered since our arrival in
the Delta Quadrant. And all it wanted to do was greet us and
exchange information. Hell of a way to say hello. Both
B'Elanna and Chakotay nearly came to blows with Tuvok on how to
stop the distortion ring. In the end, Tuvok had the best
suggestion. Do nothing.
Kes' birthday party turned out to be a disappointment. I gave
her a gold filigree locket as a present. She seemed stunned by
it – much to my delight. That delight didn't last. After our
encounter with the distortion ring, the party eventually
resumed. Kes, who had been worried by Neelix's disappearance,
declared that she wanted a photo of him, inside her locket.
Great! Just great! A photo of Neelix's mug will be inside
the locket I gave her. Even worse, I had to stand there on the
Bridge and hold Kes' birthday cake, while she and Neelix locked
Sigh! I'm beginning to think that my feelings for Kes are just
as hopeless as B'Elanna's feelings toward Chakotay. But I
can't help it. All I can do is hope that she realizes one day
that Neelix is not the man for her. End personal log.
STARDATE 48972.4 – Voyager came across an old 1936 Chevy truck,
here in the Delta Quadrant! Being a connoisseur of anything
20th century Earth, my heart nearly leapt with excitement at
the sight of that old vehicle. I even got a chance to
demonstrate how the truck's engine worked, once Harry tractor
it to Voyager. I don't think he, the Captain and the others
appreciated the noise or the carbon monoxide.
The truck also emitted an old S-O-S signal that led us to an
L-Class planet not far away. The trinimbic interference in the
planet's upper atmosphere made the shuttles and the
transporters, ineffective. So, the Captain ordered me to land
Voyager on the planet's surface. All I can say that it was
one of the most thrilling moments in my life. And I did it
without a hitch.
The Captain, Harry and members of the Away team not only found
a Lockheed Electra aircraft (which I would have loved to get my
hands on), but several Humans in cryostasis. Kes and I later
joined the Captain and Harry for a closer inspection. Would
you believe it? Among the Humans were the legendary pilot,
Amelia Earhart and her navigator, Fred Noonan. It seemed she,
Noonan and the other Humans had been abducted from Earth by
aliens over 400 years ago, during the late 1930s. Voyager has
discovered the mystery of Earhart's disappearance. If only
the Alpha Quadrant knew. Noonan proved to be a paranoid who
managed to hold us hostage. The Captain eventually convinced
him and Miss Earhart that we meant them no harm. Also, a group
of aliens had fired upon Tuvok, Chakotay and another Away team.
Harry told me that after the Captain disarmed them, she
discovered that they were also Humans. Boy! Things really
seemed to be heating up! End personal log.
STARDATE 48974.55 – I did it. I decided to remain aboard
Voyager and continue the journey to the Alpha Quadrant. I'm
probably the only crewman, who has a good reason to remain on
New Earth. Well, it's not really called New Earth, but that's
what most of the crew has decided to name the planet.
It seemed the planet's original inhabitants, a race called the
Briori, were the ones responsible for abducting Amelia Earhart,
Noonan and 289 other Humans from Earth. They brought the
Humans to this planet to serve as slave labor. However, the
slaves revolted, killed the Briori and established a new
civilization. Hence, New Earth. I even managed to visit one
of the cities. It really surprised me on how it closely
resembled San Francisco. Maybe that was the reason I had decided
not to remain behind. It simply reminded me too much of Earth.
Too much of the bad times I had endured. But I must admit that
Kes' decision to remain aboard Voyager played a part in my
decision. Along with the feeling that I could not abandon the
Captain. Not after all she has done for me.
I also got a chance to show Miss Earhart, Voyager's helm. I
don't know about her, but I got a big thrill. Miss Earhart,
Mr. Noonan and the other "37s" (the original ones abducted),
decided to remain on New Earth. I wish them all the luck in
the world. Meanwhile, not one member of the crew decided to
remain behind. Hmmm. I thought at least the Maquis crewmen
would consider. I guess not. End personal log.
STARDATE 48999.17 – New Year's Eve. Huh. I can't remember the
last time I celebrated the New Year. Oh yeah, it happened two
years ago and I was at this casino on Perdon Gel. With that .
. . Gods, what was her name? Damn! I don't even remember.
Anyway, the Captain gave us permission to celebrate the arrival
of 2372 at Sandrine's. Neelix has even volunteered to create a
few delicacies to entertain the crew. In defense of our
stomachs, the Conn Division pooled their replicator rations to
provide refreshments not cooked by Neelix. I'm sure the crew
will thank us. Meanwhile, I have to shower and change for the
party. I'm suppose to take Marie Kaplan and I'm already
running late. If I don't return until tomorrow, Happy New
Year! End personal log.

Spectre is a strong follow-up to Skyfall, but a film that has just as many plot holes as its predecessor.
The way I see it is this: Sam Mendes' Bond films have a lot to recommend. Stunning cinematography, fantastic set pieces, strong characterisation and a richly thematic narrative. They don't, however, make much sense.
Spectre opens with an incredible scene, and one that shows Terminator Genisys how you should shoot a helicopter-based action scene. By the time the opening titles began, I had to pick my jaw up from the floor. It's that good.
In fact, the entire first hour is very strong. I enjoy Craig's take on the character, and I appreciate the fact that he sees Bond as an intrinsically unlikable person. It just makes sense. He kills people for a living, can't have any substantial personal relationships, and he's required to callously use people he meets along the way. Also, others are constantly trying to kill him. It makes sense that Craig isn't too worried about getting the audience on side, or giving sly winks to the camera.
The supporting cast set up by the last film – Moneypenny (Naomie Harris), Q (Ben Whishaw) and M (Ralph Fiennes) – work really well too. The central three have quite a lot to do this time around, and the film's always enjoyable when they're on screen.
It's only when the central Bond girl appears that Spectre becomes less impressive. It's not that Léa Seydoux does a bad job – rather that her character feels forced, almost like the writers included her because they felt they had to (much like that last minute comedy pass that was done on the Skyfall script, which is blessedly missing from this film.) To make matters worse, around about the same time we get an action scene that's…well…it's just ridiculous, and really took me out of the film. Logic disappears completely and the film suffers as a consequence.
The rest of the film plays out well enough. Dave Bautista has fun as what is effectively the 2015 version of Jaws, and I never got bored. But all the same, the gaps in the story really bugged me. Skyfall only fell short on this front in retrospect. Spectre, on the other hand, had me scratching my head during the screening.
It may sound like I'm nit-picking, but when a populated area suddenly becomes devoid of extras, or a wholesale destruction of a public place goes completely unnoticed, you have to wonder why Mendes thought this would be okay. There's also the fact that the grand plan of this film's evil genius is determinedly underwhelming.
At the end of the day, there is some brilliant filmmaking on show here, and on a scene-by-scene basis, Mendes' work really impresses. If half the action movies that graced our screens were put together with such care and finesse, we'd be lucky, lucky cinemagoers indeed. But when the story barely hangs together, it doesn't matter how white-knuckle the car chases. Spectre is by no means a bad film, but there are glaring missteps along the way.Rating:

Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD) aims to develop itself into a world class graduate training centre through its transition and efforts to become a research-intensive university in Brunei Darussalam.
At the 27th Convocation last Wednesday, a total of 20 PhD and 379 Masters candidates were conferred their certificates by His Majesty Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mu'izzaddin Waddaulah ibni Al-Marhum Sultan Haji Omar 'Ali Saifuddien Sa'adul Khairi Waddien, Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalatn, the Chancellor of UBD.
The graduate students at this year's convocation make up 36 per cent of this year's graduates. This figure puts up almost on par with the top universities in the world: Harvard University's graduate students make up 40 per cent of the total student population while National University of Singapore has 39 per cent.
In becoming a research-intensive university, UBD emphasises the importance of undertaking research projects that are relevant with the needs of society and economical concerns of the country.
Research efforts at UBD are centred on five research thrusts: Biodiversity, Energy Studies, Food Security/Agro technology, Asian Studies, and Islamic Banking and Finance.
The university encourages its students to be involved in research efforts, and creates opportunities for them to collaborate and network with renowned scientists. While expanding and enhancing the quality of graduate programmes in UBD, the Graduate Research Scholarship (GRS) is also offered to outstanding students with the aim of facilitating and promoting research degrees in order to develop into a research-intensive university.
Since the beginning of its journey to become a research university in 2009, UBD has made achievements in research such as the invention of an improved system for analysing Halal content of food, finding solution for early detection of cancer biomarkers, and the invention of energy saving technologies.
As of this year, UBD has filed 33 patents for its research, 20 of which has sought for international protection. UBD now has six granted patents in total – four local patents and two international patents, one in Singapore and the other in USA.
UBD has set up research facilities and built its research networks to build a research-conducive environment for its academic staff and students. In collaboration with International Business Machine (IBM) Corporation, UBD established the UBD|IBM Centre that has become a technological hub for Regional Climate Modelling and Impacts on Rainforests, Renewable Energy, Crops and Flooding.
In addition, the university established the Sultan Omar 'Ali Saifuddien Centre for Islamic Studies and Institute of Asian Studies that specialise in Islamic studies and Asian studies respectively.

Moore is the creator of the so called "revenge porn" site isanyoneup.com. The idea behind revenge porn on this is people getting back at those that have hurt them by posting nude and sexually suggestive pictures of the offending party on the internet for any and all to see. I'm no stranger to the idea of wanting to hurt someone as badly as I've been hurt (in fact its one of the parts of the Scorpio zodiac that actually fit me to a T). Someone does something that hurts and the belief is that hurting them back will make you feel. However while revenge does make you feel better (contrary to what some may say in my experience getting someone back is quite satisfying but I'll get back to that another day) it can lead to rather destructive consequences.
Looking back in his past I think we can see that Moore didn't just wake up and decide to build this site for the public humiliation of others.:
Moore says that when he was 15, he had his heart broken by his first love, a girl named Rachel, and he traces much of what happened in his life since to that seminal moment. "The only way to get to a point where you have no feelings, you have to have your heart ripped out and shit on," Moore says. "I hate to use the term 'heartless,' but you have to have something traumatic happen to get there."And that wasn't the end of his troubles:
Several years later, Moore recalls, he was attacked by a fellow employee while working the cash register at a retail store. "A guy at work hired me thinking I was gay and put his hands down my pants in front of a customer while I was ringing them up at a retail store," Moore says. "I hit him in the nose and then he threw me against the wall—he was about 300 pounds—and dragged me across the floor. I sued the company." He pauses. "That's why lawyers don't really intimidate me, because I've been through the wringer a few times."After bouncing around different locations and jobs, including some "horrible shit" as he calls it, Moore eventually bought the domain name of isanyoneup.com and was originally going to use as a review site for night spots. But while having a fling with a woman who was soon to be engaged he got requests to post pictures of said woman and from there history was made.
First off just because I'm sure someone reading this is going to accuse me of trying to say that having his heart broken and being sexually assaulted justifies what he has done with this site. Not the case at all.
I have to say that this scared me a bit. What if I were to continue down the path I was traveling and ended up like that? Posting nude and sexual pictures of people on the net for my own profit and not a care the people that I would undoubtedly be hurting? Sure I can tell myself, "But I'd never stoop that low." but I'm really not sure.
But anyway plain and simple what this guy is doing has gone too far. On one hand I do feel for him over the things that happened to him in the past. I've never been sexually assaulted and I've never been a relationship and got crushed by a partner but from what I've see, heard, and read there is no question that these things are terrible. I wouldn't say that he is motivated by misandry or misogyny but rather he seems to be simply motivated by a hatred that lashes out at anyone. And the fact that people are sending these photos to him for display shows that he is not the only one like this.
When looking at people around me giving in to such hatred, seeing people who have seen the damage and are trying to turn away from it, seeing people who have gone past where I am, seeing people who are on their way to where I was (and possibly beyond) I just wonder what will it take to stop it.

Article Title
Davis/Hammon, Domestic Violence, and the Supreme Court: The Case for Cautious Optimism
The Supreme Court's consolidated decision in Davis v. Washington and Hammon v. Indiana offers something for everyone: by "splitting the difference" between the two cases—affirming one and reversing the other—the opinion provides much grist for advocates' mills on both sides of this issue. While advocates for defendants' rights are celebrating the opinion's continued revitalization of the right to confrontation, which began in Crawford v. Washington, advocates for victims have cause for celebration as well: the decision is notable for its reflection of the Court's growing—albeit incomplete— awareness and understanding of the dynamics of domestic violence and their implications for justice. This acknowledgment is embodied in both the text of the opinion and in the Court's jurisprudential compromise, which ensures that some victims at risk from testifying can still be protected by the criminal process. This Essay explains this perspective and suggests important avenues for advancing the jurisprudence to continue to better integrate the realities of domestic violence into constitutional standards.

The Trump administration's business war offers suddenly produced soybeans the hot item in plan circles. Information from Search engines Trends, for example, shows that looks for "soybeans" in the usa are currently close to an perfect high.
Should you be trying to get up to date on what is currently the nation's No . one cash plants by plot, fear not really: Here's all you wanted to learn about soybeans yet were scared to request.
1 . Therefore , uh, exactly what are soybeans?
Since the name suggests, soy is part of the veggie family. This grows in other words leafy shrubbery that floral and generate fuzzy eco-friendly pods, every typically that contains about three coffee beans.
Those veggie pods are generally left in order to sit on the particular plants in order to dry out plus brown upward through the fall months. Once the simply leaves fall away from, they're prepared to be gathered. Soybeans are usually harvested utilizing a large tool called the combine, which usually cuts the particular plants plus separates the particular now-dried coffee beans from the pods.
The final collected product is a little dry veggie resembling the brown edition of a dried out pea.
second . So , what exactly is it used for?
A lot of people encounter me llaman through a variety of food products. Tofu is made from soybeans. So is me llaman sauce, certainly. Edamame, the particular beans you may get at several grocery stores plus Asian dining places, are a kind of soybean. There is soy whole milk. Soy nut products. Soy your favorite ice cream.
The big cooking use, nevertheless , soy-derived essential oil, which is today the primary component in many items labeled as "vegetable oil" in the usa. So if you are wondering in case you, personally, possess ever ingested any me llaman products, the solution is almost definitely a delicious "yes. "
Here's the particular confusing matter, though: Most of the soy items you eat are in fact made with brought in soybeans. The particular stuff United states farmers develop here? The majority of that will get put to various other uses.
Based on the U. S i9000. Department associated with Agriculture, for example, over seventy percent associated with U. S i9000. soybean manufacturing gets useful for animal give food to. In the give food to sector, chicken farmers would be the biggest customers of soybeans, followed by domestic swine, dairy cows, beef cows and aquaculture.
Only about fifteen percent from the soy harvest goes to individual consumption, mainly in the form of cooking food oils, based on the USDA. One more 5 percent would go to biodiesel. The rest gets divided among a number of uses, like industrial apps and natural foods.
a few. How much from it do all of us produce?
A great deal — fifth 89. 6 mil acres within 2018, to become precise, which makes it the Usa States' greatest crop simply by acres rooted. To put that will figure within perspective, eighty six. 9 mil acres is usually larger than the entire area of Brand new Mexico, the particular country's fifth-largest state.
This season, in fact , me llaman acreage overtaken corn a large plot for the first time given that 1983.
Dollar-wise, American maqui berry farmers produced regarding $41 billion dollars worth associated with soy within 2017, based on the USDA, which makes it the second-biggest cash harvest behind hammer toe. For viewpoint, $41 billion dollars is about 3 times the total yearly revenue from the NFL.
four. Where perform we develop it?
There is a belt of weighty soy manufacturing running from your Red Water Valley across the Minnesota-North Dakota border, plus heading through the eastern Dakotas, Iowa, The state of illinois, Indiana plus Ohio, based on the USDA Farming Census, that was last executed in 2012.
One more significant area extends across the Mississippi Water as it minds down through Missouri in order to Louisiana. Plus there's several production through Maryland's Far eastern Shore plus down through the Carolinas.
5. Therefore , what do charges have to do along with any of this particular?
Here's the one thing: According to UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE data, almost half of Oughout. S. me llaman production will get exported abroad in any provided year. Another countries choose to either decrease their Oughout. S. me llaman imports or even slap upon tariffs according to tariffs in our own, which could have financial ripple results not just meant for American me llaman producers also for the other sectors, such as meat and chicken, that depend on soy.
That is why we are hearing a lot about me llaman in the information lately. Maqui berry farmers are now captured in a tug-of-war between the Trump administration, which usually believes that will putting charges on international goods will certainly ultimately do well for Oughout. S. customers and suppliers, and other countries, which are retaliating with charges of their own.
For this reason, the management recently introduced a package associated with $12 billion dollars in help to maqui berry farmers caught within the crossfire from the trade battle.
6. What is all of this performing to soybean prices?
Soybean prices, currently low prior to the Trump management announced $34 billion within tariffs upon Chinese products, recently dropped to a ten-year low.
Information compiled by MacroTrends shows that general, the price for each bushel pertaining to U. T. soybeans is usually down simply by close to twenty percent considering that Trump required office final January.
The particular White Home has searched for to ensure maqui berry farmers and individuals who any discomfort from the contract price fight is going to be "short-term. "

There are four major publicly available legally binding agreements in effect between the European Union (EU), its Member States (MS), and multinational tobacco companies. The first such agreement was the Philip Morris International Anti-Contraband and Anti-Counterfeit Agreement and General Release (PMI Agreement), signed while litigation between the parties was pending in July 2004 as a 'resolution of all past disputes relating to contraband cigarettes' and a 'forward-looking' arrangement for 'strong coordinated action' in combating illicit trade in cigarettes.

The day started a bit cold and misty and due to good planning everyone was picked up and whisked uneventfully to Frampton in around 2 ½ hrs.
While everyone was sorting out their coats and footwear the keen ones were already setting up their scopes and spotting in the field next to the car park, calling out to Dorothy to note down what they were seeing.
The RSPB site at Frampton is a large coastal wetland reserve with a large reed bed and fresh water scrapes. There is a visitor centre where you can buy snacks and hot and cold drinks and chat to the RSPB guides and find out "what's about".
We spent the first 1/2hr in the visitor centre before moving out to scan the reed beds. There are 3 good hides which we availed ourselves of and some of the high lights were sighting a Jack Snipe and a Long Billed Dowicher also a great aerial display by a flock of Finches late in the afternoon.
A few laughs were had over the light hearted argument as to whether a particular group of Godwits we were looking at were black tailed or bar tailed or indeed a mixture of the two!
The weather held out and a very pleasant sunny day was enjoyed with 52 different species being recorded by Dorothy.
A well deserved thank you goes to Dorothy for her organisational skills and to Stuart Slack who as ever called out the different species and pointed us all at their locations.
