Murky and melancholic Athens-based rock band Grand Vapids have released their debut album, Guarantees. With moody music accentuating personal lyrics that deal with loss and an ultimate search for true beauty, it's a low-key gem that should rightfully bring widespread attention to the relatively new quartet.
While Grand Vapids only played their first show last March, three of the four members previously had a more folk-leaning trio called Androcles and the Lion that released an EP called As Far As Blindness Can See. When the songwriting began evolving during preparations for the follow-up, they added bassist Chris Goggans and adopted the new name.

Ayurveda, an ancient system of Indian medicine, eradicates the cause of any ailments at its root level and aims at preventng it from reoccurring in future.

Yoga for beauty care
Ayurveda, an ancient system of health care revealed to the rishis of India thousands of years ago, leads to positive health, natural beauty and long life. It emphasizes on the power of yoga by customizing asanas and poses according to individual's body type and ailments thereby opening up the possibilities of enhancing natural radiance through integration of practices for inner peace.Yoga involves vertical, horizontal, and cyclical movements, which provide energy to the system by directing the blood supply to the areas of the body which needs it most. The improved blood circulation and hormone balance makes the inner physical system immaculate and the postures/various physical exercises of yoga provide shape to the external body.Yoga lends the skin a healthy glow by balancing the hormones and boosting the flow of oxygen-rich blood to our skin. This keeps the skin resilient and prevents dryness and excessive sagging.Yogic practices bring beauty of figure, graceful carriage, melodious voice, glowing face and charming smile. Asanas such as Paschimotannasana, Sarvangasana, Halasana, Dhanurasana, Veerasana, Trikonasana and ArdhaMatsyendrasana helps to sculpt our body.Below mentioned are some of the benefits achieved through different yogic practices :A smooth and a soft skin - Facial skin becomes soft, wrinkle free, and starts glowing with radiance. The black circles under the eyes vanish and the cheeks become pink. The face is filled with a magnetic attraction.A long shapely neck - A corpulent neck can be given a beautiful shape and all the wrinkles on it shall disappear.Well formed breasts - The breasts are moulded into an attractive shape.A flat, fat free stomach - The extra fat of the stomach gets dissolved. Women who have gained weight due to over-eating and pregnancy are highly benefited.A slim and curved waist - The waist of a woman should be slim & free from excess fat, all her beauty seems to be in vain, through a particular type of asana the waist is given an attractive shape.A well proportioned thighs - The thighs should neither be too fat and nor should they be too slim. The thighs gain a well proportioned shape.Anti-Ageing - Yoga helps in slowing down the aging process by providing elasticity to the spine, firming up the skin, strengthening the abdominal muscles, eliminating the likelihood of a double chin, improving the quality of loose arm muscles etc..

For all you lucky people in London for the Olympics (or because you always live there) grab your funkiest hat and get your walking shoes on as, thanks to good old Boris, London is blooming in hats.
All the lovely milliners involved
Commissioned by the Mayor of London in partnership with Grazia magazine, BT, ad the British Fashion Council Hatwalk has rounded up the best British Millinery has to offer and sent them out to hat the statues of London Town.
Speaking about his piece for George IV, Stephen Jones told Grazia: "My hat was the last to go up at 4am and I was so nervous that it would fall apart or fall off! It was so complicated to make it to scale, waterproof and stable."
The hats were put up in the middle of the night and by the following morning two had gone missing. William Shakespeare's baseball hat (designed by Paul Bernstock and Thelma Speirs) is presumed stolen while Beau Brummell had his removed by London street cleaners. I presume they have now put it back?
There are 20 statues sporting new head gear handily within walking distance of each other as the map below shows. The "hatwalk" starts at the Duke of Wellington near Hyde Park and finishes at the Duke of Wellington outside the Bank of England in the Square Mile.
There will also be copies (the real hats are being auctioned off for charity) of all the hats on display in BT House at BT London Live in Hyde Park until August 12th.
Frank Roosevelt by John Boyd and Winston Churchill by Herbert Johnson
Beau Brummell by Noel Stewart
Captain John Smith by Edwina Ibbotson
Duke of Wellington by Fiona McLean
Duke of Wellington by Ian Bennett
Sir Charles Napier by Sophie Beale
Lord Nelson by Sylvia Fletcher
Queen Victoria by Justine Smith Esquire
Robert Burns by William Chambers
William Shakespeare by Emma Fieldon
Sir Arthur Sullivan and the Lady by Gina Foster and Victoria Grant
The Young Lovers by Shirley Hex
Sir henry Havelock by Philip Treacy
The Angel of Peace by Rachel Trever-Morgan
Charles James Fox by Pip Hackett
Francis Duke of Bedford by Piers Atkinson
King George IV by Stephen Jones
My favourite is definitely Sir Arthur Sullivan and the Lady by Gina Foster and Victoria Grant. Which do you guys like best?

I am proud to report on another first. There are not too many firsts anymore in the world. One thing for sure in the world of arts and entertainment, gender issues have never been a problem. The industry is based on talent and change in music, art and dance. One of the most sought after in the modeling field kept a secret for a long time. The first woman supermodel has revealed that she is a man.
Fashions new supermodel is Lea T. She has been told that she is a goddess. She has strutted the catwalk from New York to Paris. Known as Lea T, this stunning Brazilian beauty has been known for her exotic features and flawless figure. In just months, she has gone from backroom assistant to super model. The 28 year old star of Givenchy's most talked about print ad campaign ever, is causing a stir from posing nude for the photographer Mario Sorrenti in Vogue to kissing Kate Moss on the cover of a magazine called Love.
This IT girl is making headlines for more than just her striking good looks. The nude photo that appeared in French Vogue magazine revealed her male genitals. Yes, she was born a boy. Her birth name is Leondro Cerezo. She grew up in Italy as the son of a world famous Brazilian Soccer Player. Her mother was a very religious Catholic. Throughout her young life, she always questioned her sexuality. Only three years ago, Leondro began living as a woman. In 2008 she began hormone replacement therapy and is now awaiting sexual reassignment surgery.
She has already made the world know her even before her decision to fully transition from male to female. Like most transvestites, the struggle exists with feeling you were born with the wrong body. Rarely do they arise to supermodel status. She is struggling with her decision to go forward with the penis removal decision because she will no longer be unique. The medical term used is gender identity disorder.
Lea T has already been chosen to be in her second fashion show for Givenchy. She will always retain the title of being the first transgender supermodel. The question that always is asked of her especially from men is, "How do you hide your penis?" She always remarks about really uncomfortable it is; and a reminder of how anxious she is to have it removed. In most of her really serious facial poses, she is really saying to herself OUCH.

Projection solutions that can help add synergy to you business.
Casio LampFree® business projectors offer the superior image quality, connectivity and features you need to impress your clients - yet use less power, have less downtime and never need a lamp or filter change, giving you a lower total cost of ownership far lower than comparable lamp-based projectors.", "The key is our LampFree® hybrid light source technology which completely eliminates the need to purchase and install replacement lamps. Since the cost of lamps is normally as high or higher than the initial cost of the projector, you get superior quality at a low lifetime cost.
Choose a Casio Signature or Pro projector if your primary need is installation in a conference or training room. Choose one of our Slim projectors if you plan to travel to make presentations.", "With Casio's exclusive MobiShow feature, available in select models, you can even show PowerPoint or video images from your smart phone or tablet–the ultimate in hassle-free presentations!
Up Close
Projection solutions that enhance the learning experience.
Wouldn't it be great if you could have a classroom projector that was reliable, maintenance free, and never needed a lamp change?", "What if the same projector gave you superior color, high brightness, great connectivity, 'green' benefits and 3D capability–yet its lifetime cost was less than the lamp-based projectors you have been buying?
What if that projector was ready for your district's BYOD initiative with the ability to project images and video wirelessly from smart phones, tablets and laptop computers?", "Casio LED/laser projectors are all that and more. There even are Short-Throw Models ready for use with interactive whiteboards.", "The key is our LampFree® hybrid light source technology, which completely eliminates the need to purchase and install mercury-based replacement lamps. It eliminates lamp failure as well, the biggest cause of projector downtime.
Game Day
Projection solutions that lets your guests feel the action.
Need a way to set your hotel, restaurant or sports bar apart from your competitors?", "Why not use high-brightness, high-impact Casio LampFree® projectors for televised sports and digital signage instead of the same-old same-old flat-panel TVs that everyone else is using?", "You'll have bigger screens, bigger impact and a bigger appeal for hard-to-attract younger adult clients.
Just as important, Casio LampFree® projectors are maintenance-free. Because they can run 23 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year with no lamps or filters to change, you can set them and forget them just as you would any other display.", "They're economical, too, with a lower total cost of ownership than lamp-based projectors. It's a win-win!

The year 2017-18 was one of the most challenging that the industry has seen in years. A number of countries experienced erratic weather that impacted farm output, commodity realisations declined, farmers held back sowing in regions following enhanced water-stress, geopolitical challenges affected sales and currency devaluation dented earnings. Each of these factors would have been potent enough to erode earnings; that these transpired concurrently affected revenues of crop protection chemical companies worldwide. It is in this context that the performance of UPL Limited must be appraised. The company reported 7% revenue growth, 9% EBIDTA growth and 17% net profit growth on a consolidated basis.
We planned better. We delved deeper. We worked harder. In short, we did things better.
The stark outperformance by the Company during the last financial year was the result of an extensive multi-year de-risking program.
We continuously strengthened our manufacturing processes, optimising costs, reducing waste, rationalising energy consumption and minimising environmental hazards.
We created a robust portfolio across the entire lifecycle : from seeds to pre-harvest solutions to crop protection chemicals to post-harvest solutions.
We created a product basket targeting multiple crops, fruits and vegetables, insulating ourselves from an excessive dependence on any one segment.
We introduced products with applications across multiple crops, maximising returns.
We widened our presence across 138 countries to protect from a fundamental risk of being present in a few countries.
We diversified from being only an agri-inputs supplier to providing farmer advice and value-added services through active engagement (through initiatives like Kisan Call Centre and Adarsh Farm Service).
We created a retail store network to provide one-stop farmer solutions.
We invested in research (more than 241 patents), establishing our recall as an innovation-driven company.
We strengthened our supply chain to replenish dealer shelves with speed and eliminate stock outs.
The result of all these initiatives was that we reported profitable growth during the year under review.
India is equipped not merely to address its food security challenge but to emerge as a global provider.
India is the world's second largest agricultural nation. The country enjoys an agricultural tradition that extends across the centuries. And yet, the country reports agricultural efficiencies lower than the global average.
What India's farmers need is training in modern farm practices and the use of contemporary products to enhance yield on the one hand while moderating crop loss on the other. One of the interventions critically needed is an exposure to prudent crop protection chemical use; India has 16% of world's population and less than 2% of land mass. The National Center for Agricultural Economics and Policy Research has targeted to boost food grain production by 1.3% annually to 280 million tonnes by 2020. With limited available arable land of ~190 million hectares, the pressure is on increasing yield per hectare.
There is a growing threat of global food insecurity. By 2030, food demand is projected to increase 50% and 70% by 2050. Global population is expected to grow from 7 billion to 9 billion by 2050. Food output needs to double to feed additional mouths even as farm acreage is shrinking owing to urbanisation and environmental degradation.
The challenge is not only about growing 70% more food in 35 years; it lies in making 70% more food available for consumption. Around 30% crops produced worldwide – about 1.3 billion tonnes - are lost or wasted each year, including the resources expended (water and labour primarily) to grow them.
The prudent use of crop protection chemicals addresses this reality through integrated pest management, enhanced farmer incomes, revitalisation of rural economies, reinvestment in farming and creating a growth foundation for the world to address the challenge of putting adequate food on the table a decade or so down the road.
In view of this, I see crop protection chemicals as a critical piece in the overall solution to making the world a better place.
Over the years, UPL has evolved its role from one focused on product sale to one focused on enhancing farmer prosperity. We have been playing a missionary role in educating farmers, creating cost-effective products around their specific needs, responding to changes in climatic and cropping patterns, while evolving from a product supplier into a comprehensive crop-solutions company.
Shortly after the Company acquired the Mancozeb plant from the innovator company in Colombia, it doubled production capacity, strengthened regulatory compliance and rationalised production costs from USD 3.5 per kilo to USD 2 per kilo within a few months. We developed a coating product to increase the shelf-life of vegetables and fruits by 20%. Our innovative fogging product Oorja helped reduce untimely potato sprouting. There were dozens of such initiatives directed at enhancing farmer practices, income and well-being.
I must end with optimism. Your company continues to do things better and in doing so, intends to enhance value for all its stakeholders in a sustainable way.
R. D. Shroff, Chairman

Andrew, now known as Bullet, had spent the week following the team's escape, searching for answers. Most of his leads had come up with nothing but one paper trail led him to another facility nearby owned by one of Enterprise Pharmaceuticals subsidiaries. The group agreed to investigate the facility and see if they could turn up any answers.
Upon arriving at the location, they found that there were night shift guards posted at the front entrance. After some time they were able to find a side entrance and after some finagling, they broke the lock. Some time and a 40 floors later, the group found their way down to a basement level chamber similar to the one Qinvaela and Austin had been held. The gates were open and workers were breaking down equipment within the inner chamber. The team sprung into action, taking out the guards and workers. A worker revealed that all the equipment was being taken to a cargoship and moved across national waters.
Moments later the gates began to shut behind them and a speaker announced a self destruct sequence was in progress. The team escaped, bringing all the defeated workers with them.
The police were already outside surrounding the building when the group ran out. After a quick scuffle with the nearest officers, the Qinvaela, Paris, and Austin jumped into a nearby car and drove off, Andrew and some police cars close behind. The car chase swerved between incoming traffic and the highway. Both Austin and Andrew were able to lose the police and continued onto the docks.
The group snuck onto a large cargoship loading large crates. They proceeded to quietly subdue the guards patrolling the deck as the boat headed out to sea. They were then greeted by John Zhukov, a young Russian attempting to escape the ship. He had been a captive for years and had finally freed himself.
His two test subject "brothers" (a large hulk behemoth and an electrically charged human battery) then crashed through the deck floor and attacked John and the others. John used his telepathy and telekinesis to help the team fight the two combatants. They was able to defeat the pair of hypnotically controlled supers, only to be surrounded by the remaining guards.
Outnumbered and exhausted, Andrew and the others retreated into the depths of the ocean, protected by John's telekinetic bubble. As the heroes descended deeper and deeper into the sea, they began to see a light. Soon they were in sight of what they had always thought to be legend, the lost city of Atlantis.

The Numerical Bible Vol. 4: Ezekiel
by Grant, F. W., Bloore, J.•
Loizeaux Brothers 1931
In a book famous for its bizarre symbolism, Ezekiel's visions include bones, beasts, eyes, and wheels. Grant's unhesitating look at Ezekiel brings the symbolism to the fore. In fact, he concentrates on the very aspects of Ezekiel's prophecy which often inhibit commentators and discourage readers. He devotes careful attention to the division of the book, the structure of Ezekiel's visions, the significance of the numbers, and the possibilities for prophetic fulfillment—even into the modern era. This volume also includes a historical chart of the Old Testament prophets, along with illustrations of the temple and a map of the geographic areas mentioned in Ezekiel's prophecy.

Regional Transfer Collaborative
This exciting program is for high school graduates. It encourages them in their move into the college world and offers preparation for the challenges there. It offers a head start for the four-year institutions through a series of linked courses that emphasize strong reading and writing skills. High school graduates are invited to participate in this program for the first-year experience requirements after taking an assessment test (G 32) and seeing Elizabeth Martinez in the Transfer Center (D 29) (also calling (310) 900-1600 x2760 to get more details). The program offers useful guidance for the first year as students work with a counselor knowledgeable of their first-year academic plan, students take a specific program of classes with tutorial assistance, and beyond the classroom, students have a cohort of peers as they become established in the first college year.

The internationally known treatment program for multiple myeloma at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) reached another milestone today (Oct. 10) as Jeffrey Zwerin of California received the 7,000th stem-cell transplant procedure performed at the Myeloma Institute for Research and Therapy.
The institute, a part of the UAMS Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute (formerly the Arkansas Cancer Research Center), has performed more blood stem cell transplants for myeloma than any other facility in the world.
The stem cells are typically collected from the patient at the outset of treatment and then given back as a transfusion to promote recovery of the bone marrow following high-dose chemotherapy. Stem cell transplantation has led to higher survival and remission rates for those patients with multiple myeloma, a cancer of the blood's plasma. The first stem cell transplant to treat myeloma at UAMS was conducted in 1989.
Jeffrey Zwerin, D.O. and a board-certified psychiatrist from northern California, received the transplant of stem cells previously collected from him. He was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in late 2006 and came to the Myeloma Institute for treatment in 2007. He will receive a second stem cell transplant following high-dose chemotherapy in a few months as part of his treatment protocol.
"The transplants are a vital part of our total therapy treatment protocol," said Bart Barolgie, M.D., Ph.D., director of the Myeloma Institute and a professor in the UAMS College of Medicine. "Our mission is to develop therapies for our patients, like Mr. Zwerin. Our ongoing efforts are focused on the most effective myeloma treatments through the clinical and research resources of the Myeloma Institute."
Between 1995 and 2001 the five-year survival rate reported by the National Cancer Institute for newly diagnosed myeloma patients was 34 percent. At the Myeloma Institute, for the same time period, 57 percent of newly diagnosed patients lived five years or more. Five-year survival rates at the institute are now more than 65 percent. UAMS has achieved a median survival rate of seven years.
UAMS treats more than 2,250 patients with myeloma annually at the Myeloma Institute – more myeloma patients than are treated at any other facility in the country.
"This medical milestone represents the continued impact that Dr. Barlogie and the staff at the Myeloma Institute have on medicine through their dedication to patient care, research and education," said UAMS Chancellor I. Dodd Wilson, M.D. "They've built a program that keeps Arkansans from having to leave the state for treatment while at the same time attracting patients from around the world."
Wilson credited former Chancellor Harry Ward, M.D., and former Cancer Institute directors James Suen, M.D., and Kent Westbrook, M.D., with recruiting Barlogie to UAMS. In 2006, Barlogie was named a National Physician of the Year, receiving one of the first such awards given by the organization responsible for the annual America's Top Doctors publication. In 2004, he received the Robert A. Kyle Lifetime Achievement Award from the International Myeloma Foundation in recognition of his 20-year career in the treatment of multiple myeloma.
The Myeloma Institute also has remained in the forefront of research and education. Researchers there draw from more than 3,000 samples of bone marrow and 19,000 tissue samples to try to identify the genetic mechanisms behind myeloma.
In 2007, John Shaughnessy, Ph.D., director of the Lambert Laboratory of Myeloma Genetics at the Myeloma Institute, led a team that identified the molecular trigger for birth defects caused by the drug thalidomide, a discovery that also could be the mechanism that makes it effective against multiple myeloma. The sedative was given to pregnant women in the 1950s and 1960s to treat morning sickness until it was found to cause birth defects. It is currently used as a treatment for multiple myeloma.
A team of UAMS researchers, including Barlogie and Shaughnessy, reported in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2006 that thalidomide as a part of a treatment program for multiple myeloma produced higher remission and five-year survival rates in patients. The drug failed to increase overall survival and was associated with several adverse side effects, such as blood clots, according to the research.
Also in 2007, Shaughnessy's team reported development of a genetic analysis model for identifying patients with aggressive multiple myeloma.

After a few visits to a few supermarkets, I realised that I wasn't going to find any bottles containing food colourings - not at INKA (local level), nor Carrefour (multi-national) or Vasilopoulos (high-end). Not only that, but the only kind of ready icing sold was chocolate glaze. In Hania, you will be hard pressed to find royal icing and frosting. This says a lot about the society that I live in; I leave it to my readers to make their own assumptions. Greek zaharoplasteia, which I have often reprimanded on my blog for selling cakes made with fake cream, do not seem to use fake colours either: a quick look at their window displays reveals that, in general, they do not sell fake-coloured food. These may be added to made-to-order children's birthday cakes; μέτρον ἄριστον, as the Greeks say.
Left: a zaharoplasteio in Hania. Right: a zaharoplasteio in Athens. Apart from cherries and strawberry/cherry jam glazes, the colours of the sweets seem to represent natural food colours.
Most of the time, if not all the time, the food I prepare in my house does not lend itself well to the addition of artificial flavours and colours in order to create an impression. Most (again, if not all) of the time, my food, though simple and unpretentious, is highly aromatic and colourful, at any rate. This is the first year that I have felt 'obliged' to take a more liberal approach to food preparation. But it did not detract me from seeking out more natural approaches to icing cupcakes. And all because the artificial stuff simply doesn't exist on our supermarket shelves.
These artificial food colours from NZ have been sitting in my cupboard for a long time. The blue and green bottles are unopened. I keep them for sentimental reasons. Using a Martha Stewart recipe for frosting, I experimented with the red bottle to create some deep pink icing that would suit my daughter's Barbie interests. She really liked its look, but was hesitant about the taste. I can't blame her: the ingredients listed for each bottle state 'water', 'colour' and a number.
Another problem I found with making frosting is the high cost of butter in Hania. Forget the locally produced stuff; it smells like a sheep station (we don't have locally made cow's butter). Good quality butter is very expensive in a non-producing region like Crete. From experience, I've found that most recipes which call for butter can be made with olive oil instead. I decided to replace the butter with olive oil, which flows like water in our house. I don't expect my readers to take up this idea (unless they live in Crete or have ample supplies of olive oil). It did turn out to be successful though!
I started off by beating a mixture of olive oil and icing (confectioner's) sugar. The pale yellow mixture (I could not get a white colour) came out very smooth and glossy, able to hold stiff peaks - but it tasted of olive oil. I added some vanilla sugar to mask the taste, but that wasn't enough; the taste improved when I added a very small amount of peach jam (it did not affect the colour). By adding cocoa powder to the same mixture, I got a classic chocolate (ie brown) icing.
The icing was easy to apply on a cupcake (the one above was made with frozen grated summer zucchini). It even gave good results when used in a piping tube. My main worry was that it would melt if left out at room temperature for a long time - but it didn't. The icing remained set, it did not run, it didn't go crusty in the fridge, and, above all, it tasted good.
The results of my experimentations with natural colours and flavours were all conducted during a test session with my children in my kitchen. They tasted everything and I adjusted the ingredients accordingly. My first test session looked into achieving good texture, while my second session looked into natural colourings, which necessitated adding the dimension of taste when I added natural ingredients.
Brown (chocolate flavour with cocoa powder), dark pink (strawberry jam flavour with beetroot dye), creamy white (peach jam flavour) and light pink (dried crushed blueberry flavour - I was hoping for a blue-purple tinge, but this didn't work). You will see some olive oil floating on the top of some icings; as I added liquids to adjust colour and taste, I found that the oil began to separate from the mixture. This was able to be drained away completely and it did not affect the taste or texture of the icing. In fact, the removal of the excess oil improved both taste and texture.
The cream and brown coloured icing didn't present any problems, which encouraged me to continue with my experiments. The pink icing was achieved with a drop of strained beetroot liquid and some strawberry jam to mask the taste of the vegetables (strawberry jam alone was not enough to colour my frosting).
With the help of a piping set, my daughter decorated the beetroot-walnut-cocoa cupcakes above; my creations are below. My natural icing colours reminded me of the colours found in the sepia tones of old-fashioned photography. They were all able to be used with a piping tube, and they set without running.
For a white coloured icing, I made some simple glaze using icing sugar mixed with water, which I later discovered could be substituted with lemon juice for a tangy flavour. Orange juice also makes a tasty pale yellow-orange glaze, but don't expect a bright orange colour!
Green is a difficult colour: would avocado (with lemon juice) work? How about nettles, which give a deep green colour? But what about the taste? Sometimes, it's just so much more convenient to use the easy option...
*I finally found a packet of food colours containing three vials of red, blue and yellow food colouring at a larger brnach of Carrefour at a cost of 2.40 euro.

Seriously though, Winter is coming.
We've filled our plates with the t-shirts, mugs, maps, pins and other assorted Game of Thrones merchandise available at Store.HBO.com, but now Chronicle Books and HBO have brought us a handsome visual companion to the series - 'Inside HBO's Game of Thrones.'
I recently had the chance to ask writer Bryan Cogman, who's busy in the midst of Season 3 production, about his book, the format, the synergy between the novels and the television show, his favorite Song of Ice and Fire character to bring to the screen and more.
IGN: How did the idea for 'Inside HBO's Game of Thrones' come about?
Bryan Cogman: I'm not sure who hatched the initial idea but I was brought on board during production of Season 2. I was standing on a beach during a night shoot, watching the Seven Idols burn (a scene from our season premiere) when my boss (co-showrunner) David Benioff turned to me and said, "We're doing a making of book." Me: "Oh, great!" David: "And you're writing it." So I spent last year juggling my duties on the show with putting together the book.
IGN: What is it about this TV series and this book saga that makes fans want to own a piece of it? Or gift it to others?
Cogman: I think the show works as an epic spectacle that's a feast for the eyes, but also as an intensely human story. Hopefully the book captures both.
IGN: How did you go about tailoring this book to fans of both the George R. R. Martin books and the HBO series?
Cogman: Well, this is a book strictly about the TV series -- though I always hope fans of the books are fans of the show too. But George R.R. Martin provides a few interesting anecdotes about what inspired him to write certain bits in the books -- the Wall for example -- that I think book fans will enjoy. For me the biggest hurdle was trying to cover two seasons of such a massive show in only 192 pages. Admittedly, there's a lot left out and the book leans a little heavier on Season One of our show, but there's only so much I could fit and since I was writing as we were shooting Season 2, a lot of that material wasn't yet available. The nice thing is that any loose ends can be tied up in future volumes. It was impossible to do a totally comprehensive making of book so we decided to make it part making of/part art book/part mythology guide. And I really wanted it to be enjoyable for die-hard and casual fans alike.
IGN: You start off the book with The Wall, and then the Night's Watch and Jon Snow. Then you touch upon certain episodes, major characters, costumes, etc. What led you to format the book the way you did?
Cogman: We had a few ideas about how to structure it and this just felt right. One of the great features of the series is the totally unique universe George has created, plus most of the storylines are defined somewhat by their geographical location, so it seemed to make sense to start at the Wall, travel south, then east to Essos.
IGN: Did anything surprise you personally about the production of the series while you were making this book?
Cogman: I don't know if this was a surprise, but it definitely reinforced just how big this thing is -- the amount of actors, designers, department heads, storylines, themes, locations... I guess the continual surprise is that we all haven't gone mad. But, to answer your question... there were a few tidbits I hadn't been aware of -- like Jason Momoa studying silverback gorillas to prep his portrayal of Khal Drogo.
IGN: You've been a writer on this series since the very beginning. With the creation of this book now, is it safe to say that the worlds of Westeros and Essos is your life now?
Cogman: Oh, yeah, as it has been for the better part of four years! It's a good thing I love this show, these characters, this world so much because I'm neck deep in it every day. Thankfully, the show has opened a few doors to other opportunities... I'm working on a new film script soon -- we'll see if I can figure out how to write something else!
IGN: If you simply had to choose, which has been your favorite Game of Thrones character to bring from page to screen?
Cogman: Well... gun to my head, I'd say Theon Greyjoy -- I'm really proud of his scenes in my episodes thus far and I love Alfie's performance. But it's a terrible thing to have to choose!
IGN: At the end of 'Inside HBO's Game of Thrones' you show us a couple of very amusing fake script pages that were given to the actors as a prank; one from Season 1 for Jon Snow and one from Season 2 for Theon. Do you think this tradition carry on into Season 3?
Cogman: You know, I don't think it's happening this season. At least, not so far. I fear everyone's too aware of the last couple of pranks. I think the guys are giving it a rest for now, but you never know. There was actually another prank that was featured in the book which I had to cut for space, but in this one David and Dan were the victims. Midway through production of Season One, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister) convinced the guys he'd shaved his head -- losing Jaime's distinctive golden locks. He emailed them a photo with this new haircut and said it felt right for the character. D&D freaked out -- I think HBO might have been alerted, can't remember -- but in any case, it was all a joke. The pic was from a few years before.
'Inside HBO's Game of Thrones' is available at www.Store.HBO.com, along with a Collector's Edition Box Set that includes a signed book plate from author Bryan Cogman.

For me, it wasn't important that she speak. If Barbara Walters' television interview with Monica Lewinsky had been a silent movie, I still think the ratings would have been off the charts. I would watch her regardless--after all, this is our living Helen of Troy, and we need to see her in motion--because it is beauty in motion that caught the attention of our president.
"You light up a room when you walk in," he told her. Unbeknownst to our young intern, that lovely compliment is a courtly Southern gentleman's euphemism for "You give everyone in the room an erection."
Thanks to Barbara's invitation, now I, too, could feel the rise; I could watch Monica close-up on television for two indulgent hours. I could stare at the lustrous hair that Samson would envy, the creamy skin that would make a baby's bottom seem rough, and the long, dark lashes that Snow White would covet. Was I imagining that the camera operator dwelled excessively on her open mouth? Or was it inescapable? Those full lips seem made to be bitten; her teeth are blinding.
Poet Patti Smith once wrote a salacious verse, in which a big bad wolf says, "I'll never forget how you/smelled that night. like cheddar cheese melting under/fluorescent light." I think that's what Bill thought when he saw her for the first time. Monica's lighting on Barbara's show was luxurious, but still, there was that ripe, glaring, melting sensation. Monica is so busty, so curvy and soft. My screen may be glass, but Monica's figure conveyed a walking Pillow Book--I could imagine her thighs touching; I could fantasize her yielding in an embrace, holding her lover tight with those arms like a harem girl's.
Is it wrong to describe Monica Lewinsky erotically? It feels a little shocking, and not just because I'm a woman looking at another woman, imagining her lips on mine. No, Monica's figure, mouth, and hair have all been discussed ad nauseam--except for the story that an adoring lover might tell. It seems incredible that the woman who seduced the Most Powerful Man on Earth has never been described as a sexual superstar, because that's exactly what she is. Instead, the media have treated her as some sort of fluke, a flawed nice girl, a lapse in taste.
But Monica's beauty is no exception to the rule. Her quintessential feminine figure and visage have been desirable for centuries. What the National Enquirer taunts as the spectacle of a fat girl, or what Barbara Walters refers to delicately as a "weight problem," is, in fact, one of Monica's most persuasive erotic assets: she has a gorgeous bosom, a girlish waist, and the kind of womanly hips that show thongs what they were made for.
The day after Monica's interview, the lipstick she was wearing--Club Monaco brand, in the color Glaze--sold out at cosmetics counters. But how many women turned to their daughters, their girlfriends, and said, "Listen, sweetheart, if you want to bag one of the big boys, you're going to have to put on a few pounds!" No, even though Monica's makeup, hair, suits, and shoes will be copied without apology, none seem willing to admit to the latest version of the emperor's new clothes: the president's mistress is a plump pigeon. It was her voluptuousness that initially attracted Clinton to her. He could care less about Glaze, and you can imagine that virtually any other man would feel the same way.
Let's get the solemn caveat out of the way: yes, some men prefer slender female figures. And some people like pistachio ice cream above all other flavors. So what? What every man knows, however, is how maniacal American women are about their weight, and that it improves a man's status to sport a social X-ray on his arm. Men know that skinniness is more important to women than it is to them, that it is an emotional weapon, and that it has nothing to do with sex appeal.
If mainstream women did an about-face--if Everygirl said, "Tits, ass, and tummies are hot!"--your average man on the street would start sobbing with relief. Finally, they could come out of the closet--so many of them want Monica, not Kate Moss. No other country in the world has a fat-phobia that approaches the United States', and no other culture was able to understand why Monica's desirability was not obvious. When Clinton threatened Saddam Hussein at the height of the impeachment hearings, I read in my local paper that some Middle East commentators reproached Clinton, blaming his aggression on his lustful need to dazzle his ex-mistress. In the Ukraine, a candy company that was eager to impress Clinton named their latest, most delicious chocolate confection the "Monica." The Old World sees Mademoiselle Lewinsky as a courtesan, an erotic icon. In the U.S., people argue whether she's a porky slut or a poor little rich fat girl. The Old World may impose their sexism on Monica--but they have never trivialized her beauty, or denied the power of her sweet face.
I'm glad I listened to Monica, after all. I'm even more gratified I read the book about her, Monica's Story. Through watching her, I understood Monica's universal erotic appeal. But it's through her words that I have discovered Monica's big secret: she has a big IQ.
Early on in the scandal, I thought Monica was giving herself smarty-pants airs, like when I read that she wanted Vernon Jordan to get her a job where she didn't have to prove herself. No, she wanted a plum position right off the bat. "Well, aren't you special," I thought sarcastically.
But when I learned about Monica's history, I realized she had reason to know she is smarter than most, and she doesn't like to be demure about it. It is one of her "unfeminine" qualities that she is not apologetic when she knows she is savvy about something. With her confidence and the blessing of the president of the United States, why should she take an entry-level job?
Here's what many people can't believe, but it's true: Monica wrote the talking points. She replaced her showboat attorney William Ginsburg after grilling the new lawyers who applied to be his replacement. She may be naive about love, but she is good with the law.
Monica Lewinsky wanted to be president when she was in the second grade. She was extremely precocious, as her mother, Marcia, recounts in Monica's Story. In her early years, she went to an academically "daunting" private school and excelled beyond most of her peers. With her daddy's money--he's a Beverly Hills oncologist--she could have the best education anyone could buy. Unfortunately, in California (above only the Virgin Islands, Hawaii, and the District of Columbia in its dismal reading scores) investing in a good education is practically the only way to ensure getting one.
Instead, when Monica's parents divorced, her father stopped paying for some of the upper-middle-class benefits she had grown up with. She was put in public school--at a time when the state's schools were already famous for their out-of-control decline. Earlier, her father had also refused to pay for a typical Bat-Mitzvah--he said he'd do a more modest birthday party--although he was happy to shell out money for the prominent occasion when her younger brother came of age.
Monica's entry into womanhood was ritualized instead by sending her to a fat farm. Welcome to puberty, dear.
At the end of high school, in the mistake that dwarfs all others, Monica's father wouldn't pay the tuition for the four-year colleges she preferred. Instead, he advised her to save up money while attending a low-tuition community college. Again, you have to appreciate the unfortunate situation in California schools: community colleges are overwhelmed with students who require the basics of reading and writing that they never learned in grade school. Obviously, Monica was bored from the day she arrived.
"Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned"--we understand that scorn to be one of sexual rejection. But what results when a woman's intelligence is disdained just as cruelly? Gifted young women like Monica dwell in a purgatory of thwarted ambition. They find that while braininess and aggression are not encouraged, artful manipulation is available as the most powerful device in the feminine arsenal. Monica's byzantine designs to further her affair with Clinton are the brilliantly neurotic symptoms of someone, who, as we say, "has too much time on her hands." This big girl should have been mentored to run the world, not run little games around the little men who inhabit it.
Father Lewinsky could have saved himself a few bucks if he had celebrated his daughter's coming of age with all due seriousness, and invested some modest thousands in her college career. She might well be practicing law now, instead of practicing scandal-celebrityhood to pay off millions in legal bills.
There's a moral lesson here, but it's not the one we heard on Barbara Walters' show: if you don't want to waste your children's potential, give them the best education you can afford--whether that means time, money, or both. When I finished reading Monica's Story, I made a vow to my eight-year-old daughter: "I am never going to make decisions that underestimate your intelligence--your education is never going to be on a back burner."
An ambitious woman could be the president rather than blow the president. But the groupie tradition will die hard if our culture's presumption of second-class feminine citizenship is laid on our daughters' heads for yet another century. Monica's beauty will continue to dazzle those around her for another decade or two--longer, if she drops the disingenuous fat-girl crap--but what will become of her native intelligence? What will happen to her neglected education, to her smarts that have been shamed and condescended to? Monica has already met the result of that dead-end prophecy, and she hates to look in the mirror--yes, Linda Tripp is your future, baby, if you don't change things now. The beauty with brains needs the courage of the Amazons, and the respect of a Trojan Army, if bedtime stories like these are ever going to turn out differently.

C'mon... you know you will.
To say the least, there's no law against drunk internet surfing.
I was almost staying home alone (like all 13 year olds do on new years ) until I was invited over to a friends house. Otherwise I'd definitely be on.
500th post! (What an accomplishment. I should tell all my friends at school..)
Pas de chance! Maybe during your New Years Eve, but not mine.
*raises hand*
*doesn't raise hand*
This will be my first new year's eve with my wife, so if I want to be on MR again sometime in the future, I won't be here
Not me. I'll b enjoying my mom's and aunt's incredible cooking until at least 2 am after that I'll probably stop by to say hi
I'll probably be on for part of it at least, unless I can go over to a friends house.
Nah, I'm going to leave for a ski trip tomarrow morning (5 AM flight )
However, if the lobby has a PC with internet access, I may very well be on. I doubt it though.
Going to Park City, Utah!
No way!
Maybe. I'm supposed to be goin to someones party, but I've worn myself (and my wallet) out this festive season with partying. I might just invite a friend over and have a few drinks.
Booooooooring, I know.
All of my friends are out of town and I'll probably be very tired from work.
Mazel tov!
This is why we have laptops! WiFi is EveRYwhEre!!!
Might be...
Forum Spy will make it a much better New Years Eve, though, if that is the case!
Then explain why I don't.
MAN I need at least 1400c Powerbook...
I will be at work so who knows maybe i will be on MR
well since i'm staying at home i'm sure i'll be stopping by every now and then.
I want to go to the ball drop, I don't know if my mom will let me out that late.
I dont think i'd be on, but there's no problem with being on MR new years eve.
I ain't gonna be here if I can help it.
Nope! I'll be watching the Hootenanny with my family. I really could do without drunks up in my grill
Probably gonna set up my camera to take some proper fireworks shots. Got a great from here on the Pennines overlooking pretty much everything to Wales. Fire! WORK!

Genetic Aspects of Chordoma: A Collaboration With SEER Registries to Identify Chordoma Families
Chordoma is an uncommon (400 case/year in the U.S.) and potentially fatal bone tumor derived
from remnants of embryonic notochord. It occurs primarily in the axial skeleton and has a
mean age at diagnosis of 55 years, with a range from early childhood to over 70 years. This
tumor usually presents at an advanced stage and the associated mortality is high due to
local destruction and distant metastases. Chordoma is rare in African-Americans and is
typically sporadic; there are few reports of these tumors arising congenitally or within
members of the same family.
In 1996, we have identified and studied one large family in which 8 relatives in three
generations have chordoma; the inheritance pattern suggests transmission of a mutation in an
autosomal dominant gene. Using information from this family, we tentatively mapped this
gene to the long arm of chromosome 7. To confirm this finding, and to fine map and clone
the gene, we needed to study additional chordoma families.
In an effort to identify such families, we have developed collaborations with four SEER
registries covering the populations of Detroit, Los Angeles, Iowa, and New Mexico. Each
registry will identify all chordoma cases diagnosed since 1988 and invite them (or the next
of kin of deceased cases) to participate in our study. Through 1997, the registries have
identified a total of 140 chordoma cases, 96 of whom are living. The registries will invite
these patients (or their next of kin) to participate in the study. The study components
included completion of a self-administered personal and family medical history
questionnaire, retrieval of medical records and pathology reports pertaining to chordoma,
and collection of paraffin-embedded chordoma tissue and buccal mucosal cells for genetic
studies. NCI carried out all the data collection activities for the study subjects
identified through the Detroit registry. NCI also conducted the buccal cell collection
component of the study for all patients identified by the other three registries. These
three registries will carry out all other study activities on these patients/next of kin and
sent the data and slides prepared from the paraffin blocks to NCI. NCI will analyze the
questionnaire data to determine if any unusual patterns of cancers other than chordoma or
other medical conditions appear to cluster in families of the chordoma patients. Selected
members of any families with two or more relatives with chordoma will be invited to
participate in a separate clinical and molecular study conducted at NIH to try to identify
the chordoma gene. DNA from the buccal cells and tumor blocks from all other patients with
'sporadic' chordoma identified through the registries (likely to comprise most patients)
will not be studied until we or others have identified such a gene.

The syntax was wrong in both of the robocopy commands you ran. Please try them again. In the "bootmgr" copy you didn't have a space between "c:\" and "bootmgr" and in the second one you use "bootb" instead of "boot" and used "\\" instead of "\".
Also, if you use TBIView, you would be wanting to copy (or extract) them to the C: partition, not the F: partition.

This handset takes my 8GB sandisk micro SD card no probs. Screen resolution is fantastic. Be aware that installing all the extra programs at boot up will eat up a lot of memory so only choose one or two that you really need.
The qwerty keyboard feels nice and solid. (I'm using it to type this). Dont forget to install Opera web browser. Be aware that there is slight delay when opening certain programs.

bling, 05 Apr 2009my husband and I both have the Glofish E-ten M800 and we both experience the same problem as i... moreWhen you take off the back cover you'll notice the phone turns off. This is because of a small switch under the cover (on the top left). In my case the cover didn't press strongly enough on the switch and that's why it kept rebooting.
I pushed a LITTLE BIT of cotton in the hole of the switch to make sure it stays firmly pressed when the cover is closed.
Now remember to take out the battery when u change the SIM because the cotton will probably keep the button pressed, even when you remove the cover.
my husband and I both have the Glofish E-ten M800 and we both experience the same problem as in the phone will frequently restart (shut down), does anyone else have this problem,if so is there an answer to it.
Shane, 01 May 2008Just sent mine back. I had it for about a month. It continually would lock up the phone port... moreHas anyone found a fix for the freezing up problem? I have sent Eten a email but they have never got back to me. Please email me if you have a fix, firstname.lastname@example.com
I have too problems with this one, I have buy it from Italy, Mediaworld, from the first day the GSM do not work, battery work maxim 1 hour, and when I try to reinstall or torn to default it doesn't restart, at the Mediaworld they told me that I need to go to one at the official GlowFiish support technician, i find one and after 3 mounts they tell me that can be repair only at the producer country or to pay 300 euro for be repair in Milan... wtf ... soo... I have payed 600 euro, at the moment I have buy an phone that is now 280euro in offer at the same place that refuse my warranty first but now they accept to try to repair or change may phone. At the moment passed more than 4 mouth and I have an phone that i have no more than 1 day.... It's a good phone but the Eten must do something with the warranty at list in Italy.....be careful if you buy!!!!!

i love this phone and their nothing wrong with it. people just dont know how to kep up with cellphones .They just what to break them. so please kkep up withthe phone stop saying it bad i know ow to work the phoe yeah dont.
do not buy it!! read here:
My phone came with Windows 6.1, it has a FM radio.
I had an Asus P535 before. Compared to it the screen is very bright with nice solid colors, higher resolution. Sometimes when you scroll though you can see how parts of the screen are updated one after another.
My device reports 49MB RAM which is less than the Asus (which was Windows 6.0, not sure if it matters). Overall if you start a few apps at the same time it becomes sluggish. I highly recommend buying a phone which has 128MB RAM in the spec.
I press random soft keys while I hold the phone. They're almost unusable because of that and it's annoying that it will always alert me if I disable soft keys.
Some applications will display very small icons in 640x480, eg. QIP.
My battery seems to be worn out even though it should be new :-( Not sure if that's Eten or Windows 6.1 or battery type (reported as Li-Ion Polymer) - phone doesn't display battery level while charging.
GPS seems faster than P535 even though specs say they're both Sirf Star III.
I was wondering between HTC TyTN II and this phone and chose this one because of the higher resolution. The HTC handles better with a few apps running though because it's 128MB RAM.
AGPS says it can't connect. Never used anything like that before so not sure if it needs any configuration - it didn't show options for that.
Power button is hard to press with one hand. You have to hold the phone with the other hand otherwise you slide out the keyboard. The volume buttons are exactly on the opposite side so you have to watch out not to press them too.
Stylus is placed near the mini USB port so it's hard to pull it out when the phone is connected.
I found no way to turn off the phone. Pressing and holding power does not power off the phone, the manual says to TURN OFF in wireless manager and then just pull out battery.
Battery cover is hard to open, I used an old SIM card to open it.
please read here about my bad experience
I have a good experience. Indeed it is a bit slow out of the box, but after some tweaks its behavior is as good or better than any HTC. Fast GPS. Besides it will offer a VGA screen etc etc really satisfied.
Has anybody had the same poor experience with the M800 as me? Took mine back after 2 days because phone would not work. Was told I had destroyed the phone software but was given a replacement.After one week the new appliance began to work intermittently then failed to charge. Went back for repair and took two weeks to return. Within two days again failed to charge. Back to Eten again who tell me there was nothing wrong, it just needed to be charged!
I have it back for 4 days during which time the locking mechanism has only worked part time and on one occasion the battery went from 95% charged to 10% charged in 5 minutes.
Either I am very unlucky or the product is rubbish.
Just sent mine back. I had it for about a month. It continually would lock up the phone portion and would be unable to make a call. Randomly I would get voicemails from friends asking why my phone was off ... when I had full bars and the phone was on. Additionally, it would refuse to power on until the battery was removed/replaced.
All of that aside, the 64 megs of ram left the device very sluggish feeling, even after doing a clean install without all of the addons. The keyboard uses flexible material that seemed... cheap... to cover the keys. What this means is you need to push on the center of a key to get it to actually register.
Above all, the softkeys were unbearable. When they were on, they were way too sensitive, and would register the wrong command all the time (try to hit the right softkey and get the Home page to launch). Turning off the softkeys was easy, but needed to be done every time the device was reset (which needed to happen frequently with all the lock-ups) and turning off the softkeys leaves you with only 1 way to navigate the phone - making it hard to use 1 handed. On top of that, once the softkeys are turned off the software will keep letting you know via a reminder that you need to turn them back on. Very annoying.
Finally, the GPS seemed to take about 10-15 minutes to get a lock, even from a warm start.
In short, I would not recommend buying this phone.
I had this phone not long back, but sold it shortly after.
Too many issues with this phone for the price. I puchased an i-mate ultimate for about £14 more.
Much better quality.

Close friend of mine purchased M800. 2 days old was faulty, replaced by dealer. Following day new unit went completely blank, dealer advised to return to UK agent who repaired same,took a week. Repaired unit has failed again, blank screen,no power! Returned to dealer who advised that would try and resolve problem. Is there a problem with all Eten units or only the M800? Friend is at his wits end!
The difference between this and the M810 is the screen resolution. This has the usual 640x whereas the M810 has the usual 320x.
This makes the M810 more stylish (in my opinion) and not as sluggish as the X800 or M800 BUTTTTT less res :( So it's up to individual to decide. Personally I like the high screen res. I can counteract this by not installing all the eten software and then only using the bare essentials. SPB Mobileshell 2.0 REALLY helps you love the higher res and rids you of sluggishness (a bit) -_-
Does this have an fm radio? What is the difference between this and the M810??
I am starting to have a few issues with this device. It seems that there is an issue with hard reseting the device using the method I mentioned below.
When the message appears confirming the hard reset, you can either tap yes or no, it's default is no. However, when you try and select yes by either taping yes or using the thumb stick, nothing happens??!!
I think Eten need to release a software update, but for some reason the serial Number needed to register the device on the official website is not valid???!!! so I am unable to download any update, etc from them.
Eten do not seem to respond to any emails I send to them...:( so much for customer support.
I had less problems from my O2 XDA Mini S...

This is how our TEFL graduates feel they have gained from their course, and how they plan to put into action what they learned:
How Teachers Can Increase Their Confidence in the ClassroomI have chosen this topic as it relates to my position as a manager at an English institute in South korea. Teacher confidence is something I have dealt with and am currently dealing with, particularly with teachers who have no experience practical or otherwise, as well as teachers who are moving from one age/skill group to another. As a manager at my current academy in South korea, I am regularly given new teachers to train. Many of these teachers arrive very confident, knowing that since they already speak as a ?native? English speaker, that the job will be very easy. They base this on nothing other than the fact that they are, again, native speakers. This confidence is short-lived. The teachers observe classes for a week and create lessons plans based on what they have seen. Then, for better or worse, every new teacher (often amidst protest) must conduct a model class to a group of teachers to show how they would teach a class. This is where their profound confidence, if not already shaken, takes a hit. Often, they become lost, or run through the material much too quickly and are left with more than half of the allotted class
time, but have nothing prepared with which to fill it. They go from being (over)confident in their abilities to having almost no confidence whatsoever. That being said, there are several ways to increase a teacher?s confidence before throwing them into the classroom, and even after. The key to increasing a teacher?s confidence is in preparation. Teachers must be given adequate training time. They must be given opportunity to practice their skills with positive feedback. Emphasis placed on being properly prepared for each and every class will allow teachers to go into their classes prepared and ready to teach. Teachers should know the material and be familiarized with the needs and expectations of the students they will be teaching. Putting an unprepared teacher into the classroom without them being fully prepared could completely turn them off of teaching and make the rest of their contract a nightmare, if indeed they are able to complete it at all. Having a teacher read the teacher?s handbook will also familiarize them with the schools expectations. This may avoid any misunderstandings if the teacher is fully aware of the schools rules and teaching program. Additionally, I believe some teachers are more suited to teaching certain levels. As important as it is to test students
for their appropriate level and ability, it can be beneficial to select teachers and assign them classes based on their abilities with certain kinds of learners (abilities and age groups) as well. Unfortunately, this is a luxury not all institutions can afford in terms of scheduling difficulties, availability of teachers, or monetarily. If teachers do not have ITTT training already, I believe it would be beneficial for their institutions to include it as part of the teacher training process. While not all schools require it, simply having done the coursework and finished the certification can make a teacher feel more qualified. It can be amazing how much confidence a piece of paper can give someone. Aside from that there are very real benefits to having finished the ITTT training, even for an instructor with extensive experience such myself. Another way to increase a teacher?s confidence in the classroom, from a manager?s perspective, is to allow them some amount of liberty in the classroom. Do not be too restrictive and let them shape the course according to their own strengths. When a teacher has a certain amount of input into their own course, they will put more effort into it as well. It might benefit a prospective teacher to look for jobs where they do have input into the course, whether it is book selection, creative input, etc. Often, teachers find they are in a rigidly enforced course style. Academy owners
can be demanding and even forceful on their particular vision and parents often impose their views on what they believe is the correct course of instruction (despite their own inabilities or experience). Therefore, properly investigation a potential job can affect the teacher?s confidence as well. Workplace happiness is classroom happiness after all. Tying into the last point, supporting teachers can add to their confidence as well. If the teacher decides on a particular course of action or discipline in the classroom then it is more helpful to back them up. If there is a disagreement over the discipline (within reason), then later disciplinary actions can be discussed. However undermining a teacher?s actions negatively affects the teachers ability to control their class and also affects their confidence and decision making ability. You may be weakening the teacher and effectively handing over control of the classroom to his/her students. One final method of improving a teacher?s confidence in the classroom is familiarizing them with it. Before putting them in the classroom in an instructional setting, introduce them to the students. This can easily be done as the teacher is doing their classroom observation during their training time. The teacher can become familiar with their
future students and learn the class dynamics. When possible allow the teacher to personalize their classroom and make it their own. Teacher confidence is very important, and I believe the task of building that confidence may lie more firmly with the managing teachers or more experienced teachers to take new teachers under their wing and give them proper instruction and support. That being said, I want to restate that the most important condition for building confidence is preparedness. There is no substitute for being prepared. A teacher who fully understands and is ready for the students? and school?s expectations is more likely to fulfill those expectations and become a valued member of the faculty. As they become valued and realize their value, it will in turn add to that confidence.

I've already got Apache and MySQL installed on a SuSE 9.3 Linux box and I've just installed Xampp. Now it seems I have two installations of these programs and I have to disable one to get the other to work. I'm trying to install virtual hosts on the Xampp system but after a few hours of doing it I'm totally confused about which installation I'm working on.
Can someone please tell me where on SuSE 9.3, Xampp stores the Apache files that I need to edit to create virtual hosts. I think I might have been editing the wrong files.
I liked Linux and Xampp until the point where I realised that every distro seems to install standard programs such as Apache in different ways. A newbie like me needs specific instructions spelling out for each distro.
Any help appreciated to prevent total baldness resulting from this.

medication time / bail-out update
they are adding student loans and car loans to the bailout!
but the phones of all the reps are ringing off the hook - no bailout is the consensus of the american people.
they are trying to terrorize us with a threat of a depression. its extortion. did you know that Lehman Brothers took 2 billion dollars and set it aside so that bonuses could be paid even though they are asking for a bailout? i would rather take my chances with a natural crash than a managed crash that benefits the oligarchy. how about you?
if you havent called do it now.
what might happen if there isnt a bailout?
this is how one anonymous poster put it:
are enabling the wrong guys, but you have to understand what a collapse of liquidity and credit markets may mean:
Take out your wallet, and remove the cash. Throw everything else away. The cash you have in your hand is what you can count on to live on for the next few years.
You may not be able to cash or write checks (remember, checks are a form of credit), you're credit card may not work, your debit card may not work. You may go to the bank to withdraw your checking or savings account in person, and find the bank doesn't have the cash to cover your withdrawal demands. And in an all cash economy, the FDIC could be overrun with claims, causing a huge delay in processing, and at the worst, a cut in the benefit.
Small businesses will have to pay employees in cash. They will have to pay for inventory up front. And on. And on. And on. The consequences for business could cause unemployment to spike up to and exceed 20%.
Unless you have your savings under your matress, youwill be hurt, and hurt bad.
Now is there a guarantee that it will get this bad? No. But their also isn't a gaurantee that it won't. I can gaurantee that it will be some shade of bad.
i am willing to endure almost anything to get the SOUL of this country back. accepting a harsh outcome while making a stand against our government could be our greatest defining moment. remember a bailout does not address the root problem and that is congress. the resignation of those who enabled wall street would be a good start toward a real correction.

Sebastien Corchia's move to Lille from Sochaux could be about to fall apart because of legal red-tape.
Arsenal are challenging for the title this season and one of the main reasons for their current reign of success is their consistency at the back.
That consistency comes from a settled back four - a settled back four that is under almost immediate danger of being disbanded.
Bacary Sagna is the right-back of this impressive defensive quartet - but his current deal expires in the summer.
Contract talks are said to be hanging by a thread - as the French international wants a longer contract than what is being offered by the Gunners.
With apparent interest from France, Italy and Turkey it appears that Arsenal may have to soon begin a search for new full-backs to take his place in the starting line-up.
One player that has been mentioned in the past is the right-back reportedly destined to become a French regular at the position. Sebastien Corchia has been a long-term target for the club - according to sources in France.
A former French under-21 international - he has been linked with The Gunners for over a year now as he seeks a move from struggling outfit Sochaux.
However that deal seems to be off the cards.
Corchia was unveiled as a Lille player last week - after the teams agreed on a €2 million fee for his services.
Game over, right? Wrong!
Corchia's deal has not been ratified and is on the verge of collapse after it emerged the 23-year-old's switch had not yet been verified by the National Directorate of Management Control (DNCG).
They monitor and oversee the accounts of all the professional clubs in France - and have ruled that Lille have 'insufficient bank guarantees or excessive payroll' in order for such a move to be signed off by the organisation.
Lille have confirmed an appeal, and hope to have him available before their next fixture.
But this is a serious delay, and if a deal was to collapse it may play right into the hands of Arsenal - who could get a second swipe at the full-back said destined to captain France one day.
