Write a note on the theme of appearance and reality in The Duchess of Malfi.
Disguise—masking reality, hiding one's true intentions, presenting a false front—is a major theme in The Duchess of Malfi. The most obvious symbol of this is Bosola. The distinction between what he says and how he acts is so vast that even the audience, who is given access to his private thoughts through soliloquies and asides, has trouble understanding his motivations.
He is a spy, and is thus constantly disguising his motives and his true feelings. Further, in the fourth act, he literally disguises himself as an old man. However, he also repeatedly shows disgust for the act of disguising. He is reluctant to take on the role of spy, and notes that "the devil/Candies all sin o'er" (1.1.266-7), thus associating the act of disguising with evil, and he scorns how men "delight/To hide" (2.1.53-4) their "rotten and dead body" (2.1.53) "eaten up of lice and worms" (2.1.51) "in rich tissue" (2.1.54). Thus, he is both the character who most thoroughly employs disguise, and the one most aware of its sinful, unattractive nature.
Disguise is so prevalent in the play that even the Duchess, the paragon of light, must employ it. In her first appearance on stage, she tells her brothers, "I'll never marry" (1.1.293), and then before the scene is even over, she has proposed to and married Antonio. Clearly, she had disguised her true intentions from them. She then manages to have three children with Antonio without ever revealing their marriage, and even when the discovery of the marriage becomes imminent, she quickly devises an excuse to send Antonio out of harm's way.
Yet this dishonesty is not meant to reflect poorly on the Duchess. Instead, it shows just how profoundly corrupt her brothers have made the world, in that the Duchess must disguise a good and pure love simply to survive. Her use of disguise reveals her energy and resourcefulness in her fight for what is good on this Earth.

Tim Tebow threw two touchdown passes and helped Meyer improve to 4-0 as Gators coach against the self-destructive Volunteers with a 30-6 victory Saturday, the second consecutive blowout for No. 4 Florida over its SEC East rival.
Javier Arenas and Justin Woodall scored on those long returns, and the ninth-ranked Crimson Tide opened Southeastern Conference play with a 49-14 rout of Arkansas on Saturday.
Clearly, the SEC just can't deal with the speed of the SEC.

His team of advisors and supporting staff also came along for the ride. "You are moving from a smaller centre to a larger centre," says Nour, pointing to his move from Montreal to Oakville, just west of Toronto. "The incomes here are higher, and the real estate has gone crazy. You are dealing with higher-net-worth clients." The firm's expansion tells the tale beautifully. The Nour Group has now ballooned to 32 advisors, with an AUM of $500 million by the end of the 2015 well within reach. Nour's shortlisting for the Young Gun award comes on the heels of another milestone. He was named to the WP Top 50 Advisors list this year, with an average AUM per client of about $591K. That's the median for his personal client roster, by the way. The Nour team, many of who travelled with him from La Belle Province is a large part of that success. It's a message echoed by other finalists for awards in more than 19 categories. The gala ceremony takes place June 5 at Toronto's Liberty Grand. "I know I can only grow if they, my team, are growing," the 30-something Nour tells WealthProfessional.ca. "You have to be selfless to grow. There's abundance all the time."

Zotac presents an Intel Z77 Mini-ITX motherboard made for overclocking
Andy Ruffell / 7 years ago
While at CES, Zotac got a change to show off some new motherboards, but aside from the 'current' market, so to speak, the motherboard manufacturer also presented some upcoming boards for the yet-to-be-released Ivy Bridge processors.
This board is based on Intel's Z77 chipset, packed in a mini-ITX form factor and equipped with the LGA1155 socket, this board is aimed at overclockers. Zotac is no stranger to such a marketing section as it has already done similar products with the Z68 chipset.
Drawing power from a 24-pin ATX and 8-pin EPS connectors, the socket has been made with powder-coated LOTES Black to avoid any shrinking when subjected to subzero cooling. The processor is powered by an 8-phase VRM circuitry, equipped with controller full of features, Pulse-made inductors, driverMOSFETs (DrMOS) and High-C capacitors. A high-density heatsink cools the DrMOS chips, sharing some of its heat with the heatsink over the Z77 PCH through a heat pipe.
The CPU is connected to two DDR3 DIMM slots supporting dual-channel DDR3 memory as well as an expansion slot with PCI Express 3.0 x16.
Storage includes two SATA 6 Gbps, two SATA 3 Gbps and an mSATA slot, most likely to be 3 Gbps. As for the rear I/O ports, they're composed of DVI and HDMI display connectivity, 8-channel HD audio, gigabit Ethernet and USB 3.0. Also included is built-in wireless 802.11b/g/n. Also featured on this board will be a UEFI BIOS.

It's hard to imagine a wedding without a sweet cake centrepiece. With so many designs to choose from, whether it be a three-tiered masterpiece or a scrumptious tower of cupcakes, it's tricky to pick the right one without it taking a huge slice out of your budget (no pun intended!).
I always find homemade cakes to be far more delightful. Being the one to lick the batter spoon clean and relish in the fresh smell of baked goods as they come out of the oven makes the task of running around the kitchen for a few hours far less tedious. Not to mention being the first to eat a massive slice of home-cooked goodness.
For now the idea of making my own wedding cake seems the best possible solution, but then this may change by the time my big day arrives! A quick browse, I've found many fool-proof recipes even the least domestic goddess could conquer. But if all else fails most supermarkets sell basic, plain iced, three-tiered cakes and we sell a few of our own wedding cakes too.
If you make your own cake decorating is the best part! You can be as avant-garde or creative as you wish. Have your cake tell a story about your relationship or follow in the footprints of your wedding day theme. No matter what you do it will be one-of-a-kind and special to you both. A simple wedding cake would suit a 'Mr & Mrs' shortbread couple stood on top or crystal frosted silver lettering. And for building a tier of cupcakes instead of a traditional cake, add the wow-factor to iced cupcakes with pretty, flower shaped toppers or felt hearts. The possibilities are endless!

April 11 (Reuters) - Pernilla Linberg waited her whole life for the day she can step onto the first tee and hear the starter introduce her to the crowd as a "major champion".
Despite winning the first women's major of the year at the ANA Inspiration two weeks ago, the Swede is still waiting.
"They didn't announce it that way this morning and I was kind of waiting for it," Linberg said after the first round of the Lotte Championship in Hawaii on Wednesday.
"I actually tend to like when they just say 'From Sweden, Pernilla Lindberg,' because they get to the point. Today I was like, 'Is it coming or not coming?'"
Lindberg secured her first professional victory by defeating seven-times major champion Park In-bee in a playoff at the eighth extra hole in Rancho Mirage, California.
The 31-year-old, who shot a two-under-par 70 on Wednesday to trail first round leader Shanshang Feng by three strokes, said life away from the course has been a blur since her victory.
"Probably been my least productive practice days leading up to a tournament ever," she said. "Everyone wants to come up and say hi and congratulate me. I say, How often does this happen? Of course I want to do it. I want to enjoy it and embrace it.
"I was on the putting green for probably two hours yesterday and actually got 30 minutes of work in."
Her victory at the ANA Inspiration counted for nothing when she got back on the course, she added.
"Basically it's been hectic, but once you're out there the golf ball doesn't know if you're a major champion or not," said the Swede, who arrived in Hawaii late on Sunday.
Lindberg's parents Jan and Gunilla, who had been in California to see her nail-biting win over Park and taken the traditional plunge into Poppy's Pond with her to celebrate the victory, had also travelled to Hawaii, she said.
"They actually spent last week in Maui, so I think they needed some time to recover after all the nerves I put them through," she added. (Writing by Peter Rutherford in Seoul; Editing by Sudipto Ganguly)

Tillmann Werner delves into the details of peer-to-peer botnet architecture and describes protocols used in the Miner and different versions of ZeroAccess.Interestingly, for all botnets that you've seen on the previous list the architecture is not purely peer-to-peer. It's hybrid architecture. That's what you see here (see right-hand image). The thing at the bottom is the actual peer-to-peer network, and the dashed lines represent a peer being in the peerlist of another peer. But when they want to receive commands for sending out spam or something like that, they still reach out to central components. And the boxes you see in the middle are proxy servers, they usually have another layer in between so that when some of the proxy servers get taken down they can easily replace them without losing their command and control infrastructure.
And then, there's the command and control server on top – that is the actual backend. There might actually be multiple layers between the peer-to-peer network and the C2, but unless you get access to one of the proxy servers you don't see what's behind it. We are fairly certain that in most cases these are proxy servers because, you know, for example when they speak HTTP and respond with Nginx, then you can be certain it's a proxy, most likely at least.Okay, let's take a look at some protocol examples so that you get an idea of what these people create and come up with. This (see left-hand image) is the already mentioned Miner bot, and as I've said, that was a really trivial and also stupid protocol. It was HTTP-based and all the bots implemented their own tiny HTTP server which was a very rudimentary one that was backed up by the file system. So, if you would issue a GET request with the 'search' parameter and the 'ip_list_2' value, that filename would be looked up in the respective directory and then delivered to the requesting host. If there were other files on the file system you could request them as well with this method, and that was probably not intended by them.
So, you can see the response here. In that case, I think the Nginx server header is fake, they just copied that from somewhere and sent it with the responses. And you can see at the bottom is the actual payload, a list of other peers, a list of IP addresses. Miner always responds with the entire peerlist that it has, all peers that it knows about. And that's stupid because it can be huge. And also that makes it easy for us to enumerate the bots and understand how many infected machines there are if you want to attack it, for example. You can see it's 11107 in size, and this is by far not the largest response we've seen.You can try to recreate this peer-to-peer graph (see right-hand image), because it's basically a graph – it's nodes who know about other nodes and talk to other nodes, and so on. You can try to recreate that graph by crawling peers, and we will talk more about crawling, that's the topic of the presentation, right? If you request a peerlist from one peer you can recreate these links on the graph and then take the IP address from the response you got back and plot pretty pictures like this one here. I think that's about 37000 nodes, which is only a subset of the Miner botnet at the time, but it takes ages to render this picture here, so we only did that for a subset of the nodes we found. You can see that other P2P protocols are somewhat similar. This is ZeroAccess version 1 (see left-hand image); there are two versions out there, this is the earlier version. Again, it's proprietary protocol that they implemented. They define, I think, six different message types, and one is a 'getL', which means 'get peerlist from another peer', and the 'retL' is the 'return peerlist' message. This is what you get when you reverse-engineer the message form and decode it. It's not plaintext; I think ZeroAccess version 1 had a 4-byte key that it hashed with MD5 and then used that MD5 hash as an RC4 key to decrypt its messages, but it's always the same key, so it was basically symmetric encryption with a static key. And version 2 just used XOR with another key.
So, if you undo the encryption you end up with something like this and you can see here, in the case of ZeroAccess version 1 a peerlist has 256 entries, so it always returns up to 256 entries. But since the botnet is large enough, every peer always has more than 256 entries at any time. So, whenever you ask a peer for its peerlist you will most likely get these 256 entries.
As you can see, there's some order there. The first number is a timestamp, or time delta, so to speak, because the botnet favors peers that have recently been active. And that makes sense because you don't want to keep the peers in your peerlist that might be offline already, or they reboot from time to time, getting your IP address, so the entry becomes invalid. So you might want to favor peers that have recently become online or that you have recently talked to; that's why they sort this peerlist by the time delta and then return the 256 most recent ones.They changed this protocol a little bit in ZeroAccess version 2 (see right-hand image). You can see there, again, the two message types. I've already mentioned that the encryption is slightly different but for the most part the protocol is very similar. So there's 'getL' and 'retL'; again, you have the timestamps and you have the IP address. But they figured that they don't need to send back 256 IP addresses, that's way too much. It's sufficient if you respond with only 16 IP addresses. That makes the messages smaller, hence less overall communication in the botnet. ZeroAccess version 2 is really huge. We've crawled some of the botnets, and they count around 3.7 million infected machines – I think it was Conficker. And if you have 3.7 million machines talking to each other, that's a lot of traffic, so you might want to reduce the message size. That's what they did.
If you take a look at the IP addresses you might notice that the last octet looks a little bit strange, it's always very high. And that is because they do some deduplication. You don't want two or multiple entries with the same IP address in your peerlist, obviously, because if you allow that it's trivial for other people to poison your peerlist and inject one entry multiple times, overwriting all the legitimate ones, and then you are not connected to the P2P botnet anymore. So, that's why they do deduplication, and in order to do that they sort the IP addresses, then go over the sorted list and if they have two consecutive entries that have the same IP address – they kick one out. But because IP addresses, at least on PCs, are sorted in little-endian, you have as a result these IP addresses with the high last octet in the response.
What's interesting is that they do that but they don't filter out invalid IP addresses. So, when you crawl the botnet you come across IP addresses like 255.255.255.255, which obviously is an invalid IP address, it shows up on this list because when you sort the list in decreasing order, it's the topmost entry and it's always included. And they have some other garbage in there; for some reason they don't filter out these entries, which is interesting.

How to Choose Baseball Bat Size
Whether stepping onto a Little League diamond or a Major League diamond, it is important that you know how to choose baseball bat size. A bat size too large can cause you to have trouble catching up to a pitcher's fastball, while a bat size that is too small can leave you vulnerable to a pitch on the outside of the plate. Here are some tips on how to choose baseball bat size.
- Locate a baseball bat length size chart. To choose a baseball bat, locate one of the many baseball bat size charts available. These can be found in sporting goods stores and online. The grid will take into account the player's height and weight and suggest a bat length for the player to use. Youth bats tend to run between 26 in. and 30 in. while adult bats run 30 in. to 34 in.
- Determine the weight of the bat. Another aspect you must consider when you choose a baseball bat is the weight of the bat. A baseball is propelled by a combination of bat speed and bat weight, or the total force that occurs on impact. Each bat length is made in several different weights, find the weight that feels comfortable for you to swing.
- Test out the baseball bat. To choose a baseball bat, it's best to test out the bat (or one of the same size and weight) in the actual batting cage. It's all about your comfort level when you swing. If you can't catch up with a fastball, then try a lighter bat. If that bat starts to feel like a tooth pick as you swing then try adjusting to a heavier bat.
- Select the baseball bat that works best for you. Now that you've compared size charts, felt a few different weights and tried the bats out in a batting cage, choose baseball bat size that works best for you!
- Some players use lighter bats later in the game as their body becomes fatigued.
- Some players choose baseball bat size according to the pitcher. If there is a hard thrower, they select a lighter bat. If they are facing a pitcher who throws a lot of off-speed pitches, they use a heavier bat.

'I saw a lot of players very tired': Chelsea running on empty, admits Antonio Conte after dour draw
Hosts forced to settle for a dour 0-0 draw against 10-man Leicester
Related topics
Antonio Conte believes Chelsea's gruelling schedule and a lack of squad depth are to blame for the champions' recent struggles.
Conte's side lacked energy and drive as they were forced to settle for a dour 0-0 draw against 10-man Leicester at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
For the first time in the club's history, Chelsea have endured three successive goalless draws after an FA Cup stalemate at Norwich and a League Cup blank against Arsenal.
Even the 68th minute dismissal of Leicester defender Ben Chilwell for two bookings in quick succession couldn't lift lethargic Chelsea, who were out-played in the first half and couldn't make their numerical advantage count at the end of the second period.
With an FA Cup replay against Norwich looming in midweek, Blues boss Conte is concerned by the signs of fatigue following the draining Christmas and New Year fixture pile-up.
"We played with tiredness. We suffered a lot in the first half and at the start of the second half," Conte said.
"We played a lot of effort against Arsenal on Wednesday, then to play a really good team in good physical form like Leicester was difficult.
"We played with almost the same players as against Arsenal. I saw a lot of players very tired. I saw Eden (Hazard) was very tired so he came off.
"When I decided to put fresh energy on with Willian and Pedro, the game changed. We created chances to score but at the end the result was fair."
Conte hinted Chelsea's energy levels are affecting results because he doesn't have the quality players in reserve to keep his team fresh and performing at a high level.
The Italian has spent much of the season grumbling about the lack of signings made by the club's hierarchy since he led Chelsea to the title last season.
"I'm doing rotations. Against Norwich I made nine changes, against Arsenal I made 10 changes," he said.
"To face all competitions is not simple. You must have a big squad to do this, otherwise you take risks to lose against teams like Leicester."
Regardless of Chelsea's fitness problems, Conte's hopes of a strong start to 2018 have also been hampered by their lack of cutting edge.
Four successive draws in all competitions have featured Chelsea missing a host of chances to kill off opponents, with Spain striker Alvaro Morata completely out of form.
After scoring regularly at the start of his first season in England, Morata has netted only three times in 14 appearances, with no goals in his last five matches.
But Conte is adamant Morata isn't the only one to blame for Chelsea's profligacy.
"The problem is for the team, not only for Morata," he said.
"Compared to last season we are conceding less, we are showing great solidity defensively. At the same time we're showing not great quality in our finishing.
"We have to improve if we want to score and we want to win. If you don't score, you're lucky the game finishes 0-0."
With no end to the fixture crunch in sight, Conte must hope the hamstring injury suffered by Gary Cahill is not severe.
"Cahill was a muscular problem, but not a serious problem," Conte said.
Meanwhile, Leicester manager Claude Puel remains confident Riyad Mahrez's fine display won't be one of his last in a Foxes shirt.
The Algeria winger has been linked with Arsenal and Liverpool, but Puel said: "We can see he is enjoying his football, he is happy in playing, in training, he is happy with us and his teammates.
"There is a lot of speculation about the players, but of course we are happy with him, and we want to keep our best player."

Recently there has been much media attention on the 'collapse' of drug rehabilitation services in the UK. The National Treatment Agency has spent millions since 2001, getting thousands of drug users in contact with drug addiction services. Last year only 3% of these cases were actually referred to residential rehab, while two-thirds were prescribed heroin substitute medication by GPs and NHS doctors working in addiction services.
Professor Neil McKeganey, Director of the Centre for Drug Misuse in Glasgow, speaks out in 'The Independent' newspaper about the irresponsibility of keeping addicts locked into addiction by the use of methadone. You can read what he has to say in the article dated February 1st 2009.
Over the years I have personally known many addicts who have been on long term methadone maintenance scripts. These addicts were not only addicted to heroin but also to methadone, the 'answer' to their addiction.
To illustrate this, here is a personal testimony from one of our students:
" I have been on meth for about 10 years. I've tried different programmes where you get drugs to come off drugs and it never worked. I came here and I came off the meth with just vitamins. I did really want to stop taking drugs and I put my mind to it. Twelve days and I was fine. The programme works. Finally I can look forward to a drug-free life with my kids and family." Richie
We at Narconon know that residential rehabilitation is by far the best chance an addict has of beating his addiction and creating a new life. Many of us are living testimonies of this fact and we see, on a daily basis, the results of our residential rehabilitation program.
If you have any friend in need of help for drug addiction, here at Narconon Hastings we can offer that help. Our natural, drug–free, educational program has proven to be the most successful rehab program in the world.
Here is a quote from the author of our methodology; the philosopher and humanitarian L.Ron Hubbard:
"The addict has been found not to want to be an addict, but is driven by pain and environmental hopelessness.
As soon as an addict can feel healthier and more competent mentally and physically without drugs than he does on drugs, he ceases to require drugs."
L. Ron Hubbard
The NARCONON Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation programme is entirely drug-free.

UFC middleweight champ Anderson Silva has been the recipient of some criticism over the past few months after shrugging off the possibility of a match-up with contender Chris Weidman in favor of fights with more-established adversaries. However, after losses from a few frontrunners, it looks like Silva will square off against Weidman after all.
According to multiple reports, Silva and Weidman will serve as the main event of a July 6 show in Las Vegas believed to be UFC 162. Newsday was first to report the fight, confirming it with CEO Lorenzo Feritta.
Silva is considered by nearly all to be MMA's top pound-for-pound fighter with 33-4 mark in the sport and wins in all sixteen of his UFC scraps. Among the 26 stoppages "The Spider" has scored in his career are those over the likes of Chael Sonnen, Rich Franklin, Forrest Griffin, and Dan Henderson.
While Weidman lacks Silva's star-power there's no doubt he should pose a stiff test come showtime. The 9-0 grappler is 5-0 in his UFC career, showing improved skills in each effort, and was last seen stopping Mark Munoz with strikes in July of last year.

text: I have read that an LLC is the best suited company for smaller, single owned companies. From what I have read that does not exist in Australia so I am wondering if anyone knows the Australian equivalent to a company like that. One that is smaller and owned by a single person revolved around owning various web properties. Thanks in advance for any information that can be provided.

Top 12 Life Lessons to replace struggle with ease
Ahhh, hindsight – it's a beautiful thing! One of the best parts of growing older is the wisdom that comes with life experience. Like many wide-eyed 18 year olds, I launched into my adult life full of expectation, enthusiasm, energy and more than a little naivety.
10 major career and countless life changes later, only the naivety has gone and curiously, I learn much more quickly these days!
Whenever I gain a blinding new insight or learn a new skill, I find myself thinking, 'if only I'd known that back when I was …[insert life struggle]'.
So here are my Top 12 Life Lessons shared to make your life easier:
Every question has an answer and every problem a solution
Once you believe this, you'll never be stuck again! Even 'do nothing' or 'do it later' are solutions. If you don't know, someone else will – it's just a matter of reaching out and asking.
You can't hang your star of happiness on someone else's tree
In the same way we hang decorations on a Christmas Tree, we often abdicate the responsibility for our happiness to someone else. If you're waiting for someone else to make you happy, you could be waiting a long time. Be happy with and for people, not because of them.
The best lessons come from the toughest stuff
While I'd not have chosen some of the challenges life has sent my way, I am grateful for what I learnt from them. We never really know what we're capable of until we're tested. Remember, when you're going through a rough patch, you're quietly building courage, resilience and confidence – inner resources you can call on anytime.
This too will pass
The best thing about tough times is that they don't last forever. When the clouds part to let the sunshine in, leave the pain behind and take the lessons with you. The greatest of times are often momentary too so embrace them for all they give you and cherish the memories.
You always have a choice
Wow! This is so simple and yet I only figured it out a few years back. Once you adopt this one, you can wipe out self doubt. We may not be able to control the events in our lives but we always have a choice about what meaning to put on them.
Other people aren't right or wrong – they're just different
When someone annoys or disappoints us, chances are they're pressing one of our core value buttons. Even though they may claim to hold the same values as you (eg integrity, respect, loyalty or achievement), their actions and words may appear to be incongruent. All that's happening is they're putting a different meaning on that value. Neither right or wrong, it just is.
Respecting others beliefs and values doesn't mean you have to compromise your own so there's nothing to fear or protect.
Everyone's doing the best they can with what they've got – save judgement for something that needs it
No one sets out to do the wrong thing intentionally. The action or words may not be right by your personal principles but judgement won't change them. It merely leaves you frustrated, angry, drained and helpless.
Focusing on the behaviour rather than the person (play the ball, rather than the man) fosters acceptance, maintains perspective and keeps your emotional energy and powder dry for something that really does matter.
Do something good for someone else every day, expecting nothing in return
The world and everyone in it owe you nothing! Doing something selfless feels great because you know you've made a difference without expecting it to be reciprocated. Being generous in all you say and do costs very little and has the potential to be profound.
It costs nothing to smile, appreciate and deliver a random act of kindness. Life is karmic and one day someone will do something incredibly generous for you.
History never repeats and the past is never the future
Thank goodness! Historical scars and baggage can hold us back from trying something new. Circumstances and you have changed. As you attempt something you've failed at in the past, remember you are now wiser and better prepared.
Regret, guilt and self-doubt are futile
Seriously, if I had a dollar for all the time, head space and energy I've invested in negative emotions in the past, I'd be rich! There is nothing to be gained for anyone, least of all you, by rehashing the past and beating yourself up.
Accept that you did the best you could under the circumstances and let it go.
Every day is a brand new sheet of paper – write on it whatever you like!
No matter how bad yesterday was or how uncertain tomorrow looks, today is a brand new one. Only take with you that which is useful and decide how you want to live this one day.
Isn't it great that we get to start over every 24 hours?
Be the best version of yourself you can be, always.
Trying to be someone you're not to live up to others' expectations, is exhausting! Living your best life means being you to the best of your ability. You know when you're being truly authentic when there's no internal conflict going on, no matter what. Rather than wrestling your demons, make peace with them and accept yourself for who you are.
After all, there's only one amazing, talented, beautiful, wonderful you!
PS. The Great Life Redesign has more Pearls of Wisdom to help you replace struggle with ease.

A spring break party in the Florida Panhandle turned violent early Saturday after seven people, including at least three college students, were shot at a Panama City Beach house, officials said. One of the victims was shot in the head and others were hit multiple times, and some were fighting for their lives at local hospitals.
A suspect was arrested after the shooting — identified as David Jamichael Daniels, 22, of Mobile, Alabama — and was being held in the Bay County Jail on seven counts of attempted murder, according to the Bay County Sheriff's Office.
Sheriff's deputies responded to multiple reports of a shooting at the home at 12:55 a.m. local time (1:55 a.m. ET). The deputies found a "chaotic scene" with seven people — all in their early 20s — suffering from gunshot wounds, according to a statement from the Bay County Sheriff's Office. One victim was found outside the house, three in the street and the remaining three in the home, the statement said.
Bay County Sheriff Frank McKeithen said during a late afternoon news conference that Daniels was out on bond for drug possession. Two other unidentified men were with him at the time of the shooting and later interviewed and released, McKeithen said. One of the men was also out on bond, while the other man was recovering from a gunshot wound from an unrelated shooting on Monday.
McKeithen said investigators believe Daniels was the only person firing shots Saturday, but had not determined a motive for the shooting. It is unclear if Daniels is a student or had a connection with any of the victims.
A .40-caliber handgun was recovered in the backyard of the residence, McKeithen said.
One victim, Anesia Powell, 20, was shot in the arm and was in surgery Saturday afternoon, McKeithen said. Kearria Freed, 20, who was shot in the head, was in critical condition, as were Devanta Moore, 21, and Henton Franklin, 22, McKeithen said. The remaining victims, Jacole Young, 22; Kelli Curry, 21, and Ethridge were hospitalized in stable condition, he said.
At least three of the victims were students. Alabama A&M University released a statement saying Freed, Powell and Curry attend the school, which is about 375 miles west of Panama City Beach. The statement noted that a Bay County investigator had said earlier that the three female students were "innocent victims in the wrong place when an altercation broke out resulting in shots being fired." The school said that Daniels is not a student at Alabama A&M University.

I was just thinking tonight (while midnight-munching on a bowl of corn flakes, ice cold milk and the washing machine swishing), what is it about a book that makes it exciting?
You can think about that for a minute. Go ahead …
I mean, what book are you reading right now, and what is keeping you going? Why are you persevering with it when there are so many more things you could be doing?
Is it an assignment? Is it something everyone else is reading? Do you think you will get smarter, wiser, more mature through the process?
One of the more recent books I've read for the first time (I read a lot of books more than once) was P D James' Children of Men.
To be honest, I read it because it was a set text on the OCR A-level exam, and I was hired to be one of the examiners; however, there are ways to "read" a book enough for exam marking, and then there's the kind that you actually want to read, to savour, to enjoy.
Children of Men ended up being one of the latter kind.
So the corn flakes and I were wondering about James' book and why I read it cover to cover, and it seems to me that it boiled down to three things.
First, I had that external incentive about the exam-marking job, that I read 1/3 of it and became connected to the story and the characters.
Second, I thought I'd figured out a twist that would make the ending really interesting. Sadly, my clever ploy was never applied by the esteemed author so that was a bit of a disappointment, but the anticipation kept me reading till I was about 2/3 through.
Third, the setting for the last third was Cornbury Park, a wooded estate in my home village ("town!") in England, and a place in which my children and I frequently walked. That really got my emotions connected, so despite a fairly anti-climactic ending, I'll still have a warm-fuzzy feeling about James' book.
So how 'bout it then? Why are you continuing to read the book on your nightstand?

Obama in 2008:
We had been attempting to highlight the inability of Congress to do anything," recalled William M. Daley, who was the White House chief of staff at the time. "The president expressed frustration, saying we have got to scour everything and push the envelope in finding things we can do on our own."
For Mr. Obama, that meeting was a turning point. As a senator and presidential candidate, he had criticized George W. Bush for flouting the role of Congress. And during his first two years in the White House, when Democrats controlled Congress, Mr. Obama largely worked through the legislative process to achieve his domestic policy goals.
But increasingly in recent months, the administration has been seeking ways to act without Congress. Branding its unilateral efforts "We Can't Wait," a slogan that aides said Mr. Obama coined at that strategy meeting, the White House has rolled out dozens of new policies — on creating jobs for veterans, preventing drug shortages, raising fuel economy standards, curbing domestic violence and more.
Each time, Mr. Obama has emphasized the fact that he is bypassing lawmakers. When he announced a cut in refinancing fees for federally insured mortgages last month, for example, he said: "If Congress refuses to act, I've said that I'll continue to do everything in my power to act without them."

TARGET OF OPPORTUNITY – The University of Wyoming aspires to be one of the nation's finest public land-grant research universities and our mission statement includes nurturing an environment that values and manifests diversity. To that end, departments may, on rare occasions, wish to request a Target of Opportunity hire.
Target of Opportunity exceptions fall under two categories:
• A qualified scholar or candidate who meets a pre-determined and pre-approved diversity objective (i.e., minorities, women, individuals with disabilities, LGBTQ and/or veterans)
• A distinguished scholar or uniquely outstanding candidate who meets a pre-determined research objective and an institutional need
Requests for Target of Opportunity exceptions may take place during the course of a search or at a time when no active search is being conducted. Target of Opportunity hires are subject to the availability of funding.
BUSINESS NECESSITY – A sudden death, resignation, termination, or long-term illness of an incumbent occupying a position that is both time-sensitive and critical to the institution's mission and ability to deliver its curriculum and other programs may create an immediate and unexpected need to fill a position without advertising. Shortened advertising periods may also be considered under this category. Clarifications should be provided regarding the relevant time-sensitive and critical nature.
SPOUSAL OR DOMESTIC PARTNER CONSIDERATION – This is primarily applicable to faculty appointments and will be decided on a case-by-case basis in consultation between the appropriate academic area and the Office of Academic Affairs.

Cat Rock is a quirky, unique wedding venue in New York. If you are looking for a wedding venue a bit off the beaten path, Cat Rock might just be the right wedding venue for you. Featuring an enormous historic house, a sprawling lawn, and plenty of space to erect a tent, Cat Rock is the perfect wedding venue for discerning brides and grooms everywhere.
There is something magical about the moment when the sun dips below the horizon and watching a sunset during a wedding cocktail hour is a beautiful thing. During this wedding reception at Cat Rock in Garrison, New York many of the wedding guests went to the top of a hill to watch the beautiful sunset while toasting the bride and groom's new marriage. I was able to crouch down and shoot up at the people effectively silhouetting them against the nighttime sky. I also chose to include the lanterns on the ground in the final photograph to give the image more of a sense of time and place. The warmth of the lanterns and the warmth of the sunset are a great juxtaposition against the starkness of the silhouette of the wedding guests.
Location: Garrison, New York.Keywords: Cat Rock (6), Garrison (6). 1/25; f/4.0; ISO 2500; 24.0 mm.
