Science goes off with a bang thanks to Naked Scientist August 27, 2014 Hundreds of school kids were entertained and enthralled during National Science Week when they were treated to an explosive science show by international science celebrity, The Naked Scientist, Dr Chris Smith. Dr Smith, a Sir Walter Murdoch Distinguished Adjunct Professor, performed his famous Naked Scientist Show several times – for high school students from the Rockingham, Mandurah and Murdoch areas and twice for crowds at the Murdoch University Open Day. Pro Vice Chancellor Engagement, Professor Andrew Taggart, said that Murdoch wanted to work with schools in the Rockingham and Peel areas to encourage more students to study science. "With some schools struggling to attract students to study science disciplines, initiatives like The Naked Scientist shows are important parts of building science in the regions," Professor Taggart said. Dr Smith made the most of his trip down under, taking part in a range of events across WA and meeting hundreds of people along the way. Well-known science personalities Professor Lyn Beazley and Dr Karl Kruszelnicki joined Dr Smith on trips to Albany and Manjimup where they presented at the Growing Science Forum and encouraged students to consider a career in science. In Kalgoorlie, Dr Smith was one of four panelists at the 'Profs and Pints' event which debated where we should draw the line in terms of ethics and science. The discussion asked whether there are facts we don't know, technologies we shouldn't have and lines we shouldn't cross. Another important initiative during National Science Week was a science week dinner held at the Mandurah Sebel. Thirty five of the region's best and brightest teachers and science heads of learning attended from 18 different schools along with Murdoch academics and other stakeholders. Speakers included Dr Chris Smith, the 2014 Premier's Science Award finalist Tobias Prosin and food sustainability experts – which related to this year's theme for National Science Week, Food for our future. Dr Smith also presented at the launch of National Science Week, and moderated a session with Murdoch's Professor Steve Wilton and Professor Sue Fletcher about personalised genetic medicines at the AICC(WA) Murdoch University Science and Society Event.

A new report finds that neighborhoods are a major influence on the health of boys and young men of color. The study, "Healthy Communities Matter: The Importance of Place to the Health of Boys," funded by the California Endowment, includes contributions from the Drexel University School of Public Health, the Drexel Department of Emergency Medicine, the Charles Hamilton Houston Institute of Harvard Law School, PolicyLInk, and the RAND Corporation.
While it may seem obvious, if you grow up in a neighborhood with a good school, where it is safe, where you can walk and play outside, where you can have a regular doctor, and where you have access to good food, you are more likely to live a long and healthy life. Conversely, if you grow up in a neighborhood where it is not safe, where schools are failing, where you do not have a place to go if you are sick or a grocery store with fresh food, then you are more likely to live a shorter life, earn less money, to be a victimizer or victim of violence, and to be far less healthy emotionally and physically.
This study finds that if you are African American or Latino, you are likely to face many or all of these challenges at the same time. Other major findings of the study include:
Contributors to the study include Dr. John Rich, author of Wrong Place, Wrong Time: Trauma and Violence n the Lives of Young Black Men and Director of the Center for Nonviolence and Social Justice at Drexel University; Joe Brooks, Vice President for Civic Engagement at PolicyLink; Susan Eaton, Research Director at the Charles Hamilton Houston Institute at Harvard Law School, and Dr. Lois Davis, Senior Policy Researcher at the RAND Corporation.

Cee Lo Green, mentor on the hit reality competition The Voice, is facing up to four years in prison after being charged with a felony count of supplying an uncontrolled substance.
Back in July of 2012, Cee Lo had dinner with a woman in L.A. and slipped her ecstasy without her knowledge. They later went back to the woman's hotel room.
Cee Lo was initially accused of rape of an intoxicated person, but prosecutors declined to file a sexual assault charge, citing insufficient evidence.
His attorney shared, "We are pleased that the Los Angeles County District Attorney has completed its investigation and concluded that the evidence did not support the false and unfounded claims made over a year ago. As it relates to the one charge of furnishing or sharing ecstasy, Mr. Green will responsibly address that matter in a court of law."
Cee Lo's bail was set at $30,000. If he does serve jail time, it's unclear how it will impact his role on The Voice.

As far as I know King Lear and I have only one thing (apart from nationality) in common, and that is a certain penchant towards thunderstorms. There is something about them (as Bernard Shaw, I believe, put it, in quite different circumstances) that "stimulates the phagocytes," whatever they might be. Or if it doesn't do that it at least stirs the imagination. Like Beethoven's Fifth, thunderstorms make a thoroughly inspired noise.m
I do know, of course, that thunder and lightning can be atrociously destructive and devastating, and also that there are those who prefer to witness them underneath a cushion or even a bed: but i've decided that the thing to do is openly enjoy them for all they're worth, and I was delighted to discover the other afternoon that it is not only Shakespeare's huffy monarch and I who feel this way -- but Sally as well.
Sally, in fact, was about the last individual you would expect to relish the flash and fury of anything. Anyone more timid and reticent would be hard to think of. She is the only duck i have encountered, in well over a decade's acquaintance with Muscovies, Rouens, Aylesburies, Khaki-Campbells, and even, one summer, a family of wild ducks, who prefers to be inside a cardboard box than out of it. She was in one when we picked her up at Glasgow Airport (I'd better admit that she came to this convenient rendezvous by car, so we can't put down any of her tremulousness to jet lag) and, once come, I carried her in the box round to the back lawn.
The drake gathered himself to see what we had brought him: but she didn't want to see him at all, and dived and burrowed back into the hay, lining the box , as if she was a gerbil. Any other duck would have flapped out of the confinement in high dudgeon.
Sally, however, was a timid noun and not an intrepid verb, and showed every sign of even wishing she had never broken open her own shell in the first place. This box must have reminded her of this earlier packaging, and she was evidently trying to reverse an irreversible decision. After all, you canm throw an egg over a building without breaking it; instinctively, no doubt, she knew that the eggshell is the greatest little fortress in the world for the unextrovert -- and a cardboard carton the next best thing.
Coaxed finally into the wide, fresh air, she gave an eighth of a glance at the unfamiliar surroundings and headed with feathery embarrassment for the shade of the plum tree and black-currant bushes at the end of the garden, just beyond the remains of an old greenhouse. In this darkest corner she crouched on the wet earth and more or less continued to crouch there every day for about three weeks. At bedtime, after a couple of horrendous, panic-stricken assault courses , via gooseberry bushes and the coal shed to her night quarters, she learned where these were situated, and with relief took herself secretly to them each evening, as soon as dusk seemed in the offing, rather than wait for the petrifying human being to drive her.
Her strange unadventurousness had an effect on Dally (the aforementioned drake). He obviously approved of the arranged marriage, and took to his new wife at first sight. But it was the second sight that gave him pause for thought. He rushed in and knew little or nothing of the tread of angels. Sally's heart beat wildly -- and visibly -- it is true, but from sheer terror. The drake was stopped in midwaddle: this small lady was not at all the same as Dilly (whose sad encounter with Monsieur Reynard is another story). Sally (probably she would have been better named Silly) needed a much more subtle approach, a finer sensitivity, even a certain gentlemanliness: not things for which this big and rumbustious green- headed lad had hitherto been famous. So he had to learn. He too began to spend his time in the shadows behind the greenhouse ruin. Neither of them went near the garden pool. They didn't eat, apparently. They just sat in a kind of dream, three feel from each other, he facing forlornly outwards, she facing demurely inwards.
Then came the thunderstorm. The Scots, of coursE, don't do things by half measure and evidently feel that if it is rain that's wanted then rain it will be. As an alien Englishman I've discovered that the weather is a matter of acute national pride up here. The soutehrn Englishmen who pronounce on such matters over radio and telelvision seem aware only of Hertford, Hereford and Hampshire and they should just hearm the things that are said about them in the land of Burns and Scott. "Once again," they say, with a mixture of glee and disgust, "they've IGNORED US."
It happened that the Scottish thunderstorm in question came suddently after three weeks of particularly fine weather. During those three weeks the rest of Britain had had the worst rains for years. Did the BBC mentions Scotland's sunshine at the time? No, it did not. did it mention the thunderstorm whe it came? Well, yes, it did -- because it was to their credit to do so. It said that Glasgow had had more rain in five hours than London had had all month. There was a RIOT north of the Border. . . .
However, in the midst of all his national competitiveness, everybody overlooked one remarkable bonus: which was that while continuous rain of the English variety never cured a shy Khaki-Campbell duck of its shyness, a real, rollicking, wild, uncouth, clashing and bashing, spitting and spouting Glasgow storm did. Out she came, our wee Sally (with Dally following ditifully), and rushed with exultant, tail-wagging, wing- spreading, neck-stretching spurts and dashes up and down the garden, in and out of sopping heavy-bloomed peonies, striking horror into the as-yet-unformed hearts of lettuces, intimidating irises. Worms were taken by surprise and gobbled, as by the Hun. She scooted and splashed all over the place as lightning forked and the torrents fell: "Blow , winds, and crack your cheeks! Rage! Blow!/You cataracts and hurricanoes, spout/Till you have drench'd our steeples, drown'd the cocks!. . . ."
Lear and I are nothing compared with this brown bird when it comes to storms: she had found her element and was a New Duck.
That which ha th made us wet, hath made herbold.m

text: In Feb, I noticed that a mole my husband has on his side, had a rash like a haloaround it. The rash then developed mainly on his truck and back, but also on his legs and arms. The GP has diagnosed Pityriasis Rosea but it's non typical in that it's not itchy or sore. However, it does look like hives and new patches are appearing all the time. It's now 6 months since we noticed the first patch and there are no signs of it disappearing! He's tried steroid cream and intensive moisturising on test patches with nothing making a difference. He was been diagnosed with ME this year and we're fairly sure there is some problem with his autoimmune system as he's had two conditions, diagnosed by Consultants, which have then cleared up completely much to everyone's confusion. If anyone has any suggestions as to how to deal with this rash, we'd be very grateful.

Modernising courts and tribunals
Natalie Ceeney's keynote speech on modernising courts and tribunals from the Criminal Justice Management conference.
I'm delighted to be here today giving the keynote address at this event. This is the first event I've spoken publicly at since taking up post as Chief Executive of HM Courts and Tribunals Service – and I'm honoured to be speaking with you today.
There aren't many areas of life which matter more than justice and the rule of law. We take for granted in today's society that if we are ripped off, there will be remedy. That if someone commits a criminal offence, there will be a process for holding them to account, and determining an appropriate punishment for the crime. And that this will all be done impartially and consistently across the country, by an independent and trusted judiciary.
The arena in which much of this plays out is our courts and tribunals. Across England and Wales we have a plethora of courts which allow these debates, trials and decisions to be made. And, although as CEO, I regularly see our courts and tribunals criticised – as do all CEOs – that criticism is rarely of fairness or of lack of impartiality.
But we shouldn't take this for granted.
What we have in England and Wales is not in place everywhere across the globe, and it won't stay in place without vigilance. Over the history of this nation, our justice system has evolved and developed to keep pace with the needs of society. It is critical that we continue to have a court and tribunal service which is fit for the needs of today's society – upholding and being seen to uphold the rule of law, fairly and consistently.
So, what are the challenges?
I joined HM Courts and Tribunals Service in January of this year. In many ways, I joined a relatively new organisation. HM Courts & Tribunals Service was only created in 2011. It brought a number of bodies together into one, finalising a period of major consolidation. In fact, if you go back 25 years, what is now one body, running the courts and tribunals for England and Wales, was over 150 different entities, all run to different standards, different processes and varying levels of efficiency.
But in many ways, HM Courts and Tribunals Service is still a very old service. The senior judiciary have regularly commented to me that, when they walk into a court building now, it looks little different from the court in which they trained as a junior barrister 40 years before. We still have a system dependent on paper. Although we have Wi-Fi and screens now in most of our criminal courts, large elements of our work remain manual, or done on green-on-black IT, requiring our newly hired graduates to learn, for the first time, how to use an IT system without a mouse or a browser. It's not a huge surprise that our new Secretary of State for Justice, Michael Gove, commented in his first speech that:
…thinking of those huge bundles, those snowdrifts of paper held in place by delicate pink ribbons, indeed thinking of the mounds of paper forming palisades around the hard-pressed staff who try and bring some sense and order to the administration of justice, it is impossible not to wonder what century our courts are in.
The problem is that this is more than archaic. It is no longer good enough to support the fair administration of justice.
You don't have to have much to do with our courts to see the waste and inefficiency.
We have court buildings across the country which are no longer fit for purpose, with very poor utilisation and inadequate facilities. We have thousands of extremely hard working and dedicated staff whose jobs are to handle and process mounds of paper – whether to type in handwritten forms as a result of us not having a decent online interface or manually check benefits entitlement because we don't (yet) have the interconnectivity with DWP's database. Police officers come to court to give 10 minutes of evidence in person, giving up half a day from the beat. We hold physical tribunal hearings for immigration appeals with full legal representation, despite the appellants being physically out of the country. And we transport prisoners across the country, at huge cost, for a 5 minute bail hearing in front of a judge.
But what worries me more is the human cost. In our criminal courts, witness, victims and defendants can wait years for a case to come to trial, causing chaos to lives as people wait for a decision before they can work out how to move on. In our civil courts and tribunals, people in debt attend court in person – often losing a day's wages – worsening their situation. After the death of a family member, completing a probate form in complex legalese can add huge unnecessary stress. And I hear on a daily basis about just how tortuous the process of trying to get fees refunded can be for those needing to use our courts but who receive low incomes.
Quite simply, despite the valiant efforts of our staff and the judiciary, our courts just aren't good enough for today's society.
So, what is the future?
'Court and tribunal reform' has been talked about for some years now. There has been work happening – including installing Wi-Fi and screens in our criminal courts, and the start of an ambitious IT programme to create a common case flow infrastructure to enable information to flow seamlessly from the police, to the CPS and then to the courts. But what we need to do is far more radical than adding a few new screens and digitalising today's processes. We need to fundamentally rethink our model for the 21st century.
I am very fortunate in that the two individuals to whom the HM Courts and Tribunals Service is accountable, Michael Gove as Secretary of State for Justice, and John Thomas, as Lord Chief Justice, are both themselves radical reformers. With their support, and their leadership, we are developing an increasingly clear vision of what we need for a court and tribunal service which meets the needs of today's society.
Very positively, these ideas are not developing in isolation. Over the past few months we've had publications from Professor Richard Susskind's working group on online dispute resolution, the Justice group's report on justice in the age of austerity, as well as Brian Leveson's report on the criminal courts. There is an increasing consensus around what we need of our courts, to provide a justice infrastructure which is truly better – but which, by eliminating waste and inefficiency, also costs less.
What I am not doing today is sharing with you detailed plans for how a twenty first century court service will work. That is firmly work in process. But we do have some increasingly clear ideas, which both the Secretary of State and Lord Chief Justice have spoken about in recent speeches. It's these ideas I would like to share with you today.
The first is that we are clear that our system needs to be built around those who use it.
I don't mean (just) for the legal profession, but for the ultimate users of our service – whether defendants or victims in our criminal courts, international businesses defending intellectual property claims, a couple divorcing or someone challenging an eviction order.
This is simple to say, but profound in application. In our criminal courts it means we need to minimise delays in bringing cases to a conclusion, for the benefits of defendants, witnesses and victims alike. Across all of our courts it means we need far better online navigation of what to do and how to get issues resolved – so that cases are resolved without court where appropriate, and so that people enter our court system knowing how it works and what to expect. We need plain English 'forms', presented in the form of straightforward questions, which don't require a law degree to complete. It means that we should only ask court users once for information and, if government already has the information (such as knowing whether you are on benefits or not), we shouldn't ask you to resend it. And for international companies using our courts it means meeting their need for speed and certainty of scheduling, so that we can compete internationally with the growing legal markets in Germany and Singapore. Not only will all of this make our courts more accessible, but it will also eliminate waste, duplication and error as well as keep us internationally competitive.
Secondly: our system needs to be accessible – easy to use, but digital in design.
Today's court system has been built around a physical paradigm. We spend a third of the court and tribunal service budget on running and maintaining our buildings. And last year, over a third of courts sat for less than 50% of the time available to them. But for many of our services, that physical paradigm no longer feels like the right answer, not just because it's expensive, but because it is no longer the right answer for good justice. Britain has the highest rate of online service usage in the world – over one quarter of all non-food goods are now purchased online and 85% of Britons are online. We need to enable a police officer give evidence by video, taking 10 mins of time off their working day, rather than the current half day. We need to stop running prison vans to transport prisoners to and from prisons for a 10 minute plea hearing which can be done online. And we need to, as Brian Leveson recommended in his superb review, limit what happens in the criminal court room to just trials and complex sentencing.
And in our civil courts, as both the Justice and Susskind Reports recommend, we need to learn from the ombudsman model, whereby huge numbers of relatively low value or low stakes cases are resolved simply, quickly and cheaply by avoiding hearings all together. For a dispute between neighbours about the height of a leylandii tree boundary, iPhone evidence and a video hearing may prove far more effective than the parties appearing in a court miles from the site in question. And, for our family courts, we need to make it as straightforward to claim uncontested probate as to submit a tax return or renew your annual car tax.
Thirdly, we need to introduce clearer proportionality into our system – while making sure that all of our services are consistently good.
We clearly need the full majesty of our criminal courts for our most complex and our most horrific criminal trials. But, as we are showing through the new streamlined summary justice procedures, they feel disproportionate and unnecessary for traffic offences. As Richard Susskind's report, Brian Leveson's report and the Justice report all suggest, we could deal with many cases across all spheres of the justice system in a far more proportionate way – using modern technology to consider evidence, using hearings only where necessary, and using digital channels to support work across all of our courts.
And across all of our courts, we need to ensure that our system remains transparent, accountable and independent. Open, fair and transparent justice is critically important so that justice is seen to be done, and not just 'done'. But in today's society there may be far better ways of ensuring open justice than simply saying "we have buildings in case you want to turn up and watch".
What are we doing?
We've not been idle.
Over the past year we've installed Wi-Fi into court rooms. It sounds like a relatively small thing, but it will mean judges, lawyers and other professionals can use case management systems and secure email accounts from the courtroom – without having to adjourn and duck out.
We're equipping magistrates' courts with the equipment they need to display digital material – videos, photos, maps, audio files, CCTV footage, emails. Presenters – whether the prosecution, defence, or expert witnesses – can quickly link up their own devices to our system, and display material on a large wall-mounted screen. This is vital for a 21st century court! The final installations will happen before Christmas.
Over the last six months we've upgraded the video link between police sites, prisons and 64 of our most business-critical Crown and magistrates' courts. This is a cost-effective and safer alternative to the large-scale movement of people between police stations, prisons and the courts. Significantly, we've already achieved a lot: 45% of all relevant hearings are already being managed in this way, a figure that has risen every month so far.
As HMRC clamps down on tax avoidance, that means more work for the tribunals. We've introduced a new case management system in partnership with HMRC to deal with the increased demand on our services.
To reduce the amount of court time spent on low-level, uncontested offences, we've introduced an online service for people who want to plead guilty to a driving offence. It's being piloted in Manchester, Salford, Cheshire, Cannock, Bradford and Keighley, Luton, Aldershot and Newport.
We're piloting extended sitting hours in Nottingham. We're making it easier for people to apply for help with court, tribunals and probate fees. We're introducing new facilities so victims of sexual crime can give evidence from somewhere they feel safe and comfortable. We have online dispute resolution in place for small claims. Magistrates will soon be able to book their hearings online. I could carry on!
But if we are serious about the scale of transformation we need, we need to go far further.
The government said they would continue with the modernisation of the courts and tribunals – to the sum of £375m investment over the next 5 years. We have been finalising the business case to secure this funding, looking closely not just at the investment needed but also the benefits it will deliver, for submission in the current spending review process. Securing this investment, and delivering this transformation, forms one of the top priorities for the Ministry of Justice, and has formed a major part of our spending review submission.
This investment will primarily go into digital infrastructure. But we will fund much of this transformation from within the HM Courts and Tribunals Service budget by reallocating our own resources. We are currently consulting on the consolidation of our court estate, moving work from underutilised buildings into better nearby buildings which we believe will give a better service. This will free up buildings that we don't need, which we can sell. The proceeds of these sales will go straight into this reinvestment into our future IT infrastructure and modernisation programme.
I'm under no illusions. This isn't going to be straightforward. As we change the way we work, it will affect not just ourselves, but our partners, and those who work with us – including the CPS, the prison and probation services, the Bar, and the solicitors, local authorities across Britain, other government departments, as well as anyone potentially exposed to a dispute in Britain. We are very conscious that the courts and tribunals are an integral part of an overall system – and that we need to make that system work as a whole. But in my 8 months here as CEO of HM Courts and Tribunals Service, I have yet to meet any partner, stakeholder or user of the court service who has told me anything other than "the courts and tribunals need radical change".
So, let me end by going back to the beginning.
Our courts matter.
There are not many areas of life which matter more than justice, and our courts and tribunals provide the forum in which large numbers of disputes are resolved, and justice determined. We owe it to society, to defendants, to witnesses and victims, as well as to citizens across all walks of life, to deliver a court and tribunal Service which enables the rule of law to be upheld in a 21st century society.
We're committed to developing and improving our courts to do just that. It's not just about digitising and introducing technology to streamline processes, but also about rethinking processes for today's society.
Doing this will, of course, reduce costs. But, far more critically, it will deliver better justice.

Page 20 - The civil service of the Government has become a mere instrument of partisan tyranny and personal ambition, and an object of selfish greed.

Page 38 - The number and character of these unconstrained, unpurchased, unsolicited utterances, satisfy me that the movement which found expression at Cincinnati has received the stamp of public approval, and been hailed by a majority of our countrymen as the harbinger of a better day for the Republic.

How Will You Measure Your Life?
"Knowing what tools to wield to elicit the needed cooperation is a critical managerial skill."
In an HBR article entitled How Will You Measure Your Life? Clayton M. Christensen describes models he uses to manage his life. His three main goals; to find happiness in his work life, to ensure family relationships prosper and to stay out of jail.
Along the way he raises this model for managing organisational conflict; Agree on what is important, and agree on how to get there. It struck me that there may be something in there for managing project teams and stakeholders.
What do you do if people disagree on what the project's goal is?
There are probably many answers and I'd love to hear your suggestions, but the first thing that came to mind was the 'selling the vision' work we often speak about.
And what do you do if people disagree on the path? Again, my mind leapt to a fairly simple answer; coach people. Is there a better way?

In my recent post on lunches, I mentioned risotto, with the promise for a recipe soon. I had to look back through my archives to make sure I hadn't already shared the recipe here.
Turns out, this was NOT the first time I mentioned my risotto method — the previous instance occurred over two years ago, in December 2010. At that time, I also said I would post the recipe, yet a search of my archives shows zero risotto recipes. Let's call it pregnancy brain, shall we?
If you've been waiting over two years for my top-secret-easy-and-healthy risotto recipe, I do apologize. If you've only been waiting since last week, think how good you have it!
The secret to my risotto is using oat groats instead of the traditional arborio rice. Though they sound like something a horse (or a goat?) might eat, oat groats are simply the…

Engerdal is a municipality in Hedmark county, Norway. It is part of the traditional region of Østerdalen. The administrative centre of the municipality is the village of Engerdal. The new municipality of Engerdal was created on 1 January 1911 from parts of the municipalities of Tolga, Trysil, Ytre Rendal, and Øvre Rendal.
The first element is the river name Engera and the last element is dal, the word for "valley" or "dale". The river name is derived from the name of the lake Engeren, and this is probably derived from the Old Norse word ongr which means "narrow".The coat-of-arms is from modern times. They were granted on 8 February 1991. The arms show two pieces of a horse harness (the hames) in gold on a green background. The two objects symbolize the ties between horse and man and at the same Time the connection between work and recreation.

Paper-cutting, for a long time so many people may have produced various artworks using this technique. If we count including housewives enjoying paper-cutting as handicrafts of their hobby, it can be said that innumerable people are working on paper-cutting in this country. However, as soon as we try to search for the artwork which is reaching to an artistic quality, we can tell it's an extremely narrow genre. In the global contemporary art scene, we do not know other than Kara Walker, and also in Japan, we can hardly find someone who acts in full scale as an paper-cutting artist.
At the time we launched the serial exhibition KO-JUTSU, we have searched for a various technique of art, and found that paper-cutting is an ideal method to realize the artwork of typical Japanese delicate expression. And we saw some artists' work but failed to find suitable work. Then we happened to see HARUKA's artwork at SICF (Spiral Independent Creators Festival, annually held in Spiral Hall in Tokyo). Looking at her work, to our surprise, there were lines cut out, not some shapes.
Without referring to Takashi Murakami's Superflat, we can tell that the important factor of two-dimensional artwork in Japan must be lines.
From ancient times of Yamato-e painting to the latest anime and Manga, Japanese people have expressed a field and quantity by lines.
That is, HARUKA's work could be regarded as paper-cutting following of a traditional Japanese's expression.
Her sense of choosing and the coordination of the motif is supposed to be superior. Although HARUKA is making many works which combine a human bone with the beauties of nature, those works have neither a simple aestheticism nor a grotesque structure. Those works are composing the peculiar moment and the space, by the faint smelling-like color effected by coloring to the back or the side of the the cutout lines and figure, and have succeeded in the acquisition of grace.
We may say that the work of HARUKA with such a lot of elements has established standard beauty. People to see her artwork are made to marvel the technique and the screen composition which attracts people. HARUKA wins support from a wide layer.
HARUKA starts also developing the area of the new activity by the collaboration with Vivien Tam from last year. She has a career worked in the apparel business before starting the paper-cutting artwork activities. Therefore she has succeeded to get into a natural exchange with the world of the fashion. In the relationship of the range of visible scene, her artwork exhibition was held in some of the brand shops and she supplied her design for the brand's print products. In this exhibition, she is also creating the new relationship with apparel by using the cloth and the string for her new work. We see the steady bone, not only the motif expressed in her artwork, in her style of the activities.
Though Haruka is well known and popular enough, this is her very first solo exhibition. She tries to cut out the new horizon of the expression with a delicate tip of her cutting blade.


text: I use NinjaTrader to place orders via TWS API. I have recently upgraded to java version to 1.6.1, and it caused a strange behavior. After Ninja establishes the connection to TWS, any window that I select get unselected within 1 second and the control goes back to TWS window even if it minimized, so it obviously prevented me from trading on Ninja DOM or using anything other. The moment I reversed back to 1.5.11, everything went back to normal. Lesson learned, I guess no Java 1.6 upgrade in the future for me. Just wanted to share and warn others from upgrading.

A rare sight–the funeral of a general officer killed by the enemy. I send sincere condolences to MG Greene's family, as well as to the 2,341 other U.S. service members killed in Afghanistan since 2001, some of whom were my friends.
Perhaps, now that such a senior officer has been brought down by treachery, the National Command Authority will accept that it's time to join the ranks of great empires that tried in their hubris to subdue Afghanistan, and failed. The American Empire will be remembered in history with the likes of Alexander the Great's Macedonia, the globe-spanning British Empire of Queen Victoria, and the once-mighty Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.
It's time to bring our forces home from land wars in Asia and spend American resources where they're needed most–here at home. Haven't we lost enough lives propping up a puppet Afghan government that will only revert back to its original and eternal nature as soon as we've departed? The people of Afghanistan have proven for millennia that they are as patient as the Hindu Kush. They'll wait.

It is said that the following was carried with Mother Theresa for years and even on the day of her death. There is a fabled dispute whether Mother Theresa or Kent Keith wrote the words. The truth is Universal and so is this …
People are unreasonable, illogical and self-centered.
...Love them anyway!
If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives.
...Do good anyway!
If you are successful, you will win false friends and enemies.
...Succeed anyway!
The good you do will be forgotten tomorrow.
...Do good anyway!
Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
...Be honest and frank anyway!
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
...Build anyway!
People really need help but may attack you if you help them.
...Help them anyway!
Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth.
...Give the world the best you've got anyway!
The Final Analysis
People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;
...Forgive them anyway!
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
...Be kind anyway!
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
...Succeed anyway!
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
...Be honest and frank anyway!
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
...Build anyway!
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
...Be happy anyway!
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
...Do good anyway!
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
...Give the world the best you've got anyway!
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God;
…It was never between you and them anyway.

[snip] Simple solution to this one: the window class for GROUPBOX is defined incorrectly in rcparser.py. _controlMap contains "GROUPBOX":0x82, which is the value for "Static". Turns out GROUPBOX is actually a variation of "Button" instead of "Static" (go figure), so changing to "GROUPBOX":0x80 restores the 3D effect. -- Kenny Pitt

Ireland's green energy services market 'to hit €2.5bn a year by 2020′
June 15, 2014 by Jeff
Filed under Green Energy News
Ireland's green energy services market 'to hit €2.5bn a year by 2020′
Investment needed to meet Ireland's energy efficiency and renewables target will help create a supply chain opportunity worth €2.5 billion (£2bn) a year by the end of the decade, a new report claims.
The Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) suggests most of the increased expenditure, which could support up to 30,000 jobs, is expected to come from the manufacturing and construction sectors.
Ireland currently spends around €1.5 billion (£1.2bn) every year on sustainable energy solutions, supporting 18,000 jobs, with exports of renewable energy technologies said to have more than trebled between 2010 and 2012 to over €100 million (£79.8m).
Exports of energy efficiency-related products also rose to more than €170 million (£135.7m) in 2012, with most of the growth focused on thermal insulation products and energy-efficient lighting.
Pat Rabbitte, Ireland's Energy Minister said: "Ireland is focused on seeking cost-efficient contributions to the decarbonisation of the economy.
"As the sustainable energy transition continues to gather momentum, Ireland must position itself to capture the economic benefits available. This requires diverse skill sets as well as technology-specific knowledge, characteristics that Ireland's flexible and well educated workforce is ready to provide."
Ireland has a binding target of generating 16% of energy from renewable sources by 2020.

Find the Best Plan in Your Area
Find The Right Dentist For You
The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends that individuals brush their teeth at least two times daily. However, some research has shown that nighttime cleanings are especially important, since bacteria are most likely to replicate and cause damage to the teeth while people are sleeping.
Recently, a survey conducted by the British Dental Health Foundation found that many people skip brushing their teeth before bed, in spite of these warnings. The poll's results showed that 47 percent of respondents regularly skip this nighttime ritual, Medical News Today reported.
"Anyone who regularly skips brushing their teeth - morning or night-time - is storing up oral health problems for the future such as tooth decay and gum disease - the biggest cause of tooth loss often resulting in the need for bridges, dentures or implants," said Nigel Carter, the foundation's chief executive, quoted by the news source.
In addition to brushing, the ADA suggests that individuals use antimicrobial mouth rinses to help reduce the amount of bacteria in their mouths and stop these pathogens from forming dental plaque, which can cause gingivitis.

On February 24, 2016, the US House of Representatives' Financial Services Committee's Capital Markets Subcommittee held a hearing on legislation that would clarify the name-sharing provision of the Volcker Rule. Specifically, the Financial Services Committee discussed provisions of H.R. 4096, the Investor Clarity and Bank Parity Act, which would "correct a statutory error" in the Volcker Rule which restricts the ability of a banking entity to sponsor a covered fund, specifically by prohibiting name-sharing between a banking entity's affiliates and a covered fund. The bill would permit investment adviser affiliates to share a name with a covered fund if the investment adviser is not (or does not control) an insured depository institution or is not treated as a bank holding company under Section 8 of the International Banking Act of 1978. The Financial Services Committee will consider a markup of the bill in a hearing scheduled on March 2, 2016.
The full text of the markup is available at: http://financialservices.house.gov/uploadedfiles/bills-114hr4096ih.pdf.

You know he's a national hero, but what did he add to the national conversation? As he became a hero Canadians were inspired by Terry Fox in ways you might not expect.
Come see me talk at the Danforth Coxwell branch of the Toronto Public Library,May 27, 6:30-8:00pm in the Program Room (upstairs). This event is part of the History Matters lecture series.
The talks will expand upon (yes, there's more) my recent blog posts for Active History. I'll talk upon some unknown aspects of the runner's life story and how he fits into the story of Canada in the 1980s.
You can find my April 2015 ActiveHistory.ca series on Terry Fox, marking the 35th anniversary of the Marathon of Hope, here:

Do you ever feel so overwhelmed or stressed that you can't think straight? Do you have days when your mind feels so cluttered that you can't fit in another chore, project or appointment even if you wanted to?
When our minds are filled with worry, stress and overwhelm, we operate from an emotional part of our mind that prevents us from making decisions or taking actions that serve our best interest.
It is easy to lose confidence during stressful times. We just don't know which way to turn.
Experiences of stress and overwhelm happen in all of our lives. It serves us well to take steps to calm ourselves during these times.
Here are some useful tips:
- Stop and take stock. Even though you may be having a bad day or even a bad week, you can think of many people and things you are grateful for. Focusing on those we love and what is good in our lives is a powerful way of controlling our body's response to stress and keeping things in check.
- Breathe deeply and slowly with focus. This ancient practice instantly reduces stress and allows us to tap into our creative energy. And from our creative resources, we can find the solutions we need.
3. Know what you can and cannot control. Make of list of the things that overwhelm you. After you do, put a check by the things you can control or influence. Review the other things on your list and acknowledge that you cannot control these items. When you do that, commit to letting them go.
By making a conscious effort to calm your mind when life is spinning out of control, you will arm yourself with the positive and resourceful energy you need.

While driving to one lecture, I was listening to another. The one I was listening to was delivered by A. C. Grayling on CBC's Ideas. This was the first of eight "Fragile Freedoms" lectures held at the not yet officially opened Canadian Museum of Human Rights in Winnipeg (listen here).
This is an excellent lecture. It's clear, unified, thorough and entertaining, but in his historical survey of the development of the idea of rights, Grayling begins in the wrong place.
His story beings in the 16th century. It goes like this: In the Reformation, humanity took its first step toward the freedoms that culminated in the Enlightenment and were embodied in the documents of the French and American Revolutions. Martin Luther and the other reformers freed people from the hegemony of the church by giving them direct and individual access to God without the mediation of the church. This freedom Grayling calls "liberty of conscience" and it began an "inevitable "process leading to "liberty of thought" and then "liberty of action." These liberties led to the freedom to ask all sort of questions, first, of the natural world, which led to the scientific revolution, and then, of the social and political systems, which resulted in the revolutions in France and America.
Grayling is telling the Modern Story, the dominant story in our culture. It is a story of, among other things, the quest for individual human autonomy. Because Grayling's story of the idea of human rights is rooted in the story of the human quest for autonomy, he starts at the point where the this quest began, 1517.
It is generally agreed upon that human freedoms and rights are a good thing. And we all like to take credit for good things. The Soviets claimed credit for the invention of the telephone, the Dutch for the sinking of the Spanish Armada and the Americans for the invention of basketball. So too, the Moderns claim credit for human rights and freedoms, and they do this by linking human rights to the modern quest for autonomy.
But the idea of human rights is not, in the first place, rooted in autonomy but rather in the idea of human worth. And this idea has a much more ancient origin.
Why should we respect the rights and freedoms of other people?
Because they must be free to be human or BECAUSE they are human they ought to be free?
Genesis 1:27 says, "God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them." The Biblical story says that human beings–male and female–were created with inherent value.
It is likely we are not all that impressed at such a declaration. We have heard them, literally for millennia. (And this is sort of my point; we've heard them so long, we were bound to listen to them at some point.) But how would they would have sounded like in the ancient world–ridiculous, preposterous?
The cultures that dominated the ancient near east, Early Babylonian and Egyptian, revolved around a priest-king, who represented the gods and as such, needed to be treated like one. This idea was reinforced in the creation myths where humanity was created for the soul purpose of serving the Gods. The myth upheld the socio-political reality of the culture–inferior people are meant to serve the superior representative of the divine. Imagine the how scandalous the idea that mankind–both male AND FEMALE–itself was the image, read "replacement for the idol." This idea was immediately reinforced in the next chapter (2:20) when we see Adam naming things, an activity carried out by the gods in the stories of other cultures.
The idea that human beings were not existential equivalent to the muck on the god's celestial shoes would have been unthinkable, yet it is this radical idea of human value that undergirds the entire Bible. Jesus summarizes the law and the prophets, which amounts to pretty much the entire Old Testament, saying love God more than anything and "your neighbour as yourself." Further, the central event in the Bible, Christians would say in human history, is the son of God giving up his life for the world and its people. And the reason consistently given for this sacrifice is God's love for people.
This is a very high view of humanity, indeed.
And it is this understanding of humanity, which comes directly out of our Judeo-Christian heritage, which is the foundation of human rights. The events of the 16th century and following amount to a discovery of what faithful readers of scripture had been saying all along.
A. C. Grayling is telling the Modern Story, a story which is based and draws upon the Judeo-Christian worldview. I hope that the new Museum of Human Rights in Winnipeg will give more credit to the ultimate source of human rights as it strives to fulfill its worthy task "to explore the subject of human rights in order to enhance the publics understanding of human rights, and encourage reflection and dialogue."

Hey -- we'll be the first to admit that we regularly watch the hit Nickelodeon television series, Avatar, about a gifted Airbender destined to save the world from the evil Fire Nation. Right -- that may not make a whole lot of sense to you if you haven't already been watching the show. And for the record, you should be, for Avatar is one of those rare kids' entities that transcends the age group with clever dialog and a fun storyline. It's for all of these reasons and more that Avatar, which follows the formerly baldheaded Aang and his friends as they go in search of special bending abilities, is several seasons into its Nickelodeon run and that director M. Night Shyamalan is planning to make a feature film about the property. It's also why publisher THQ has jumped on the bandwagon, having already released videogames based on the Avatar franchise. But this year, it's going to be a little different for Wii owners.
We recently had the chance to go hands-on with Avatar: Into the Inferno for Wii, and we think that if you're religious about the show, you might be pleasantly surprised with the forthcoming title. Into the Inferno follows the third season of Avatar, which means that Aang now has a head of hair and is more learned in his fighting abilities. His relationship with sidekicks Sokka and Katana have likewise developed. And so has THQ Australia developed the gameplay mechanics powering the latest effort. You liked that segue, didn't you? Don't be afraid to admit it.
Into the Inferno is still very much a straightforward action romp. In the latest demo of the title, you control Aang as he battles his way through a ship ravaged by war. He has to fight through hordes of enemies and string together simple elements in order to solve some equally simple puzzles. Of course, it's important to remember that our time with the project was brief and that later puzzles are bound to ramp up in difficulty. The action mainly consists of exploring the environments presented to Aang and using his powers to fight off enemies.
The biggest advancement is the way in which the Wii remote is used. Obviously, the nunchuk's analog stick controls Aang's movement, but now he is able to harness the power of the air, fire, water and land using Nintendo's wand-like peripheral. Make a twirling motion with the Wii remote and he'll send forth stunning wind blasts. Point at some nearby water with the Wii remote and the character can pick it up -- you'll use the accuracy of Nintendo's controller to move it around with perfect precision. During a battle with a dozen enemies, we effortlessly doled out combos while simultaneously zipping around levitated pools of water, splashing it against foes who approached. If you want to take your skill up a level, you can turn water into ice by gesturing with the nunchuk, and then you can break said ice against the unsuspecting faces of enemies. We made that read way more violent than it actually is. In other spots, we could grab and redirect fire to burn away objects, revealing secrets.
Two truths are clear based on our latest experience with the title. First, it's definitely still a linearly-paced action affair perfect for younger players. And second, despite all of that, the developer has introduced some smart new control mechanics that make Avatar feel like a Wii experience. We don't think the title is going to make or break Wii's library any time soon, but as fans of the show, we're eager to play more.
We've posted a new trailer and screens in our respective media sections.

Misconception 2: It takes at least five years to make money in trading. What kind of five years, occasional dabbling, part-time investment, swing trading? Only intensive day trading should be considered, not other sporadic attempts. If you don't make serious efforts in trading, 10 years or 20 years won't make a difference. Give me a break, don't count your college trading club years, OK? Misconception 3: Trading is difficult. Trading is NOT difficult, it's one of the easiest and simplest jobs you can do in your life. Anyone with above-average intelligence can do it. We must not mix difficulty with confusion. Trading is confusing, because there is no formal training school out there, also because many people are trying to scare others into thinking that trading is difficult.
