At a mahalo luncheon last month, members of the Japanese Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Hawai'i presented a check for $10,000 to Hawai'i Community College. This generous donation was made using proceeds from the 18th Annual "A Taste of Hilo" that took place in October 2016.
The donation continues the long tradition of support Hawai'i CC has received from JCCIH. Since the fund was created with UH Foundation in 1999, JCCIH has donated $126,516. This allows Hawai'i CC to provide student scholarships, program improvements, college-wide benefits, and faculty and staff development opportunities.
The mahalo luncheon was held at Hawai'i CC's Bamboo Hale fine dining restaurant. Culinary Arts students prepared a delicious Japanese-style buffet that included handcrafted crab tofu; warabi salad with abalone ishiyaki and dried seafood; soy-braised short ribs; mochi two ways; and more. Students in our Agriculture program grew much of the produce that was used for the meal.
Several students who received scholarships attended and shared how the donation helped them achieve their academic goals. Attendees also took turns sharing their favorite memories of the collaborations between JCCIH and Hawai'i CC. Mahalo to JCCIH for being such a strong supporter of Hawai'i CC!

He was introducing the London list- six prospective candidates, all people, as he explained after giving a ringing endorsement to the European project, which has, alas, gone astray, with experience in life and enthusiasm. Apparently, knowledge of anything to do with the EU or the Toy Parliament or, even, of basic history is not required. In fact, it might be a disadvantage. You wouldn't want the regional candidates to know more than the UK leader.
The candidates, should they be elected and, as they all pointed out with the list system a small party can have a disproportionate number of seats, will help to transform the EU. In fact, they will help to transform the EU into Europe because it is clear from the speeches made by Mr Matthews and the three candidates at the table that they see all bad things - unaccountability, lack of transparency, lack of democracy - as being part of the EU and all good things - errrm, that peace process and the wonderful effect on the City of London - as being part of Europe.
What Libertas.eu, a ringingly pro-European party, will be aiming to do is "to reinstall accountability, openness and, most importantly, democracy at the heart of Europe".
Wisely, Mr Matthews did not waste any time explaining when all these highly desirable elements were last at the heart of Europe.
To be fair, neither he nor any of candidates wasted time explaining anything about the EU or even Europe. They did produce some shock-horror information. Apparently the accounts have not been certified (by an unspecified body as mentioning the Court of Auditors might be counted as information overload) for 14 years.
It seems that 80 per cent of our legislation comes from the EU and it is invariably initiated by unelected bureaucrats and that the Brussels elites ignore the wishes of the people of Europe, preferring to listen to lobbyists of whom there are a good many there. I am shocked, I tell you, shocked.
Interestingly enough, the will of the people only matters in connection with the Constitution and the Lisbon Treaty. There seemed to be political amnesia as far as the Danish no vote over Maastricht and the Irish no vote over Nice were concerned. When I raised the subject with one of the Libertas officials, it was waved aside in a "don't bother me with silly details" kind of way.
There was a good deal of talk about the referendum we did not have - always a good subject as Gordon Brown was undeniably being economical with the truth when he insisted that the Treaty of Lisbon was completely different from the Constitution for Europe. (We have written about it too many times on this blog to be able to manage links.)
There was more talk about MEPs' expenses, also a good knock-about subject and, of course, that old chestnut, the travel between Brussels and Strasbourg. When in a subsequent conversation I pointed out that this was in the treaty and not a lot can be done about that (my interlocutor, unlike the candidates knew about treaties and inter-governmental conferences) I was told that the
Even if a large group of MEPs succeeded in abolishing the Strasbourg trips (and it sounds very unlikely that they will do so) this does not strike me as anything but displacement activity for people who have neither the knowledge, nor the curiosity, nor the courage to tackle the main issues. The Libertas official was taken aback when I pointed out that I did not consider them particularly radical as they were creating a position for themselves within the existing project. Indeed, I said using his own words, they merely wanted to reinforce the status quo.
Somebody has had a word with Mr Matthews because he has managed to update his speech. At the launch of Libertas in the UK he talked of Europe "chipping away at national sovereignty". I pointed out at the time the illogicality of using that as an argument for a party that wants to function on a pan-European basis. Clearly, someone else has had a go at the Former British Soldier (FBS, I think) and he no longer talks of that.
He has a new oratorial gimmick. Libertas is the logical political development of the twenty-first century. It is the one organization that looks forward and will deal with the problems of this century. The national parties, founded in the nineteenth century can deal only with national issues; they have failed comprehensively in ensuring that the great European project was not derailed by the
That would sound a lot better if Mr Matthews could grasp a simple fact: nationalism is not dead. The Soviet Union was brought down by a mixture of various movements among whom the national ones were extremely powerful. It is the EU or the European project that both he and Mr Ganley, not to mention the candidates, are so enamoured of that is completely out of date.
A creature of the mid-twentieth century it has shown itself unable to cope with the many problems of the twenty-first. It is unlikely to survive many more years and what will happen to Libertas.eu, that pro-European anti-Lisbon party?
That new and fresh formula that Mr Matthews and, in different words, the candidates keep talking about remains extraordinarily vague. They want elected Commissioners; well and good but how is that going to solve the problem of our own elected Parliament having no power over the legislation.
They want legislation to be initiated by the European Parliament and/or national parliaments with a complicated procedure afterwards to produce EU legislation. But how are they going to achieve that state of affairs and how is that going to help this country when something like the Droit de Suite legislation is pushed through by countries that have no interest in the art market to detriment of the ones (Britain and Netherlands) that do?
I may add that when I tried to explain what the Droit de Suite was and how it was passed and, indeed, what the role of the Council of Ministers is, the looks I received were blank though concerned. Well, I was told kindly, there is always legislation that one opposes, no matter how democratic a system is. But we are talking about legislation passed by people we do not vote for and who are not accountable to us; legislation that is not in our interest and, should other countries' representatives vote for it, we can do nothing about. Why do I bother?
That is, in fact, the question I asked myself as I walked out of the Royal Festival Hall where the launch took place (great view from the 6th floor) towards the Palace of Westminster. How many more of these launches can I attend before they cart me off to a padded cell?

GoPro plans to enter that drone market with their own quadcopter in 2016. Last week, they released a video shot with a prototype of their quadcaopter/stabilization system. The video was captured with no post-production stabilization.
Other than the video and expected 2016 release, GoPro hasn't given us any other information about their quadcopter. We don't know if it will have a built-in camera or be interchangeable between different GoPro camera models.
We rent a lot of GoPros, so they have definitely piqued our interest with this quadcopter. However, without knowing any other details, price point, or seeing a video shot in more challenging conditions, it's hard to know exactly how excited we should be.

PORTLAND, Ore. --A 7-year-old girl got busted by county health inspectors in Oregon for selling lemonade without a health permit. The girl set up her lemonade stand at a street fair in Portland last week. The fair has since ended, but reportedly there is no registration and any vendor can show up.
Witnesses said health inspectors asked the little girl for her permit and threatened her with a $500 fine.
When a county official heard about it, he called her to apologize.
"In these kinds of cases you have to exercise discretion and judgment, and I don't think a 7-year-old selling lemonade is the biggest public health threat that we're facing as a county," said Multnomah County Chairman Jeff Cogen.
The county said it will still make sure that food at large public events is safe, but children selling lemonade will not be an issue again.

We are the nation's leading resource and advocacy organization for crime victims and those who serve them. Please join us as we forge a national commitment to help victims of crime rebuild their lives.
December 15, 2000
Good afternoon, and thank you for that generous introduction.
I am honored by the invitation to address the National Press Club and to propose a new
agenda for the victims' movement.
My hope today is that I can bring the voices of real people to you. People across America
who have been victims of crime.
For the past 25 years I have worked on behalf of victims in many different settings: from
teaching self-defense in a rape crisis center, to running emergency housing and day care
for battered women and children, to helping victims in the precincts of the New York City
Police Department.
Now, every day at the National Center for Victims of Crime we receive dozens of calls on
our 800 line (1-800-FYI-CALL) from people around the country who don't know where to turn,
who feel isolated and can't find help, many feel ignored, and disrespected by our
Over the years, I've learned that victims are far from unanimous about what should happen
to offenders, but all victims want to feel safe, recover from the trauma they've suffered,
and regain control of their lives.
Let's think for a moment about who crime victims in America are.
In 1999, almost 30 million people in America
became victims of crimes.
While victims are people of all races, all
ages, all walks of life, we know that victims of violent crime are disproportionately
young (12 - 24 years of age), male, black, and poor.
Let me put it in very simple terms.
At our current rate of crime, during the next
hour we are together:
All in the next hour.
Behind these numbers are real people, real
families, and real communities. All of us have been touched by crime.
Some victims move on with their lives fairly
easily, but many suffer continuing trauma without the services and support they need.
Victims often suffer lowered academic performance, decreased work productivity, and severe
loss of confidence. Mental illness, suicide, and drug and alcohol abuse are far more
common among crime victims than the general public. Research comparing battered women to
women who haven't been abused shows they are 5 times more likely to attempt suicide, 15
times more likely to abuse alcohol, 4 times more likely to abuse drugs, and 3 times more
likely to be diagnosed as depressed or psychotic.
Although we tend to think of the damage caused
by crime in terms of individual victims, there is also an enormous toll on families,
communities, and society-at-large. When a significant portion of the 30 million people who
become victims of crime each year--remains psychologically, physically, and financially
unstable--there are real consequences. We all suffer.
Fortunately, over the past 30 years,
significant progress has been made recognizing and responding to victims' many needs. Our
social service, health care and private sector responses have all improved. The number of
shelters for battered women has gone from one in 1976 to almost 2,000 today. Several
jurisdictions now give priority for public housing to victims of domestic violence.
It's now more common for doctors and nurses to
recognize and respond to underlying problems, not just injuries. They are learning to see
gang members and abused children, not just gunshot wounds and broken arms.
Even some businesses have come to realize that
to be successful, they must help employees cope with crime-related emergencies. They
understand that crime not only has an impact on individual health and safety, but
ultimately, on productivity.
During this period, the criminal justice system
changed as well. It is now far more common for victims to be informed about the status of
their case, consulted regarding plea negotiations, present during critical stages of the
case, and heard in open court, reading victim impact statements.
Many police departments, district attorneys
offices and courts have established victim services to guide victims through the criminal
justice process. Restitution is considered far more frequently. Orders of protection are
granted routinely.
Hundreds of victims' rights statutes have been
enacted and 32 states have passed crime victims' rights amendments to their state
While we have made enormous progress
developing greater sensitivity to victims, we have also accepted the status quo. New
initiatives have been created within existing service delivery systems. And primarily we
have asked, how can we improve the experience of victims within the criminal justice
Unfortunately, in my view, we have merely
tinkered with a system that was created for very different purposes and hoped it would
meet the needs of victims. But this is largely wishful thinking. First of all, most
victims don't get a chance to participate in the criminal justice process because their
offenders were never arrested or prosecuted. Second, even if victims of crime had maximum
opportunities to participate and be heard in the criminal justice system--it's inevitable
that many would remain profoundly disappointed because the clear focus of the criminal
justice system is the offender, and not the victim.
Our response to victims of crime continues to
be horribly incomplete because we fail to ask a fundamental question: How should society
respond to victims of crime? We fail to ask, What is justice for victims?
We don't usually think about victims in our
conception of justice. Justice is what
happens to an offender. Was the offender treated fairly, were his rights respected, did
the sentence make sense? What happens to offenders, however, does not necessarily address
the needs of victims.
While victims appreciate that justice is
served if the criminal justice system is fair and the outcomes are appropriate, surely
justice for victims is more than the arrest and adjudication of offenders.
Think of it this way--crimes are violations of
communal norms. When offenders are brought to the bar of justice, they are held
accountable by the state for harms suffered by individuals. There is a societal response
to the offender that says, "You violated the law and we will hold you accountable,
punish you if it is appropriate, isolate you if needed, and offer you services to help
reintegrate you into the community."
The individuals who have been harmed--the
victims of crime--have no comparable experience of a societal response to them. There is
no statement that says, "What happened to you was wrong." No response that says:
"We will help you rebuild your life."
The same event produces both an offender and a
victim. Yet, so far, we have only created a path to justice for offenders. We must begin
to pursue justice for both parties.
Of course, we should still advocate for fair
and respectful treatment of victims within the traditional criminal justice system for at
least two reasons. First, victims, and the public at large will have greater trust and
confidence in the system if victims' views are heard, regardless of the outcome. Second,
participation and fair treatment in the process of determining what happens to an offender
is often an essential part of what victims need in the aftermath of crime.
But we must ask whether the criminal justice
system provides the best opportunities to address victims' needs. When only one in five
crimes reported to the police results in an arrest, is criminal court really the best
place to provide a "communal response" to victims? Why should victims of crime
need to have their offenders apprehended to be acknowledged? Can we provide a way for
victims to be heard, and to ask for help, outside our current justice system?
In my view, we need to separate the pursuit of
justice for victims from the administration of justice for offenders. We need to create
two distinct visions of justice. One for victims and one for offenders. We need to
establish a system of "Parallel Justice."
Let's imagine a world in which society responds
to victims' immediate needs at the time of the crime, not just at the trial or later.
Imagine a world in which there is a Red Cross for crime victims, just as there is for
hurricane and flood victims. Imagine we responded to all victims, every individual victim
of any crime, with the commitment we brought to Columbine.
Imagine a world where police feel it is their
responsibility to restore safety for victims, not just collect evidence, where the
department of social services offers emergency housing, not just to battered women, but to
all crime victims who need it--to victims of gang violence, sexual assault, or
burglary--to intimidated witnesses who can no longer live in their neighborhoods without
Imagine that each community provides a forum
for victims to express their needs. Imagine that local governments made helping crime
victims a priority. Imagine a society that felt that justice required that every effort be
made to help all victims of crime.
Let's think about how this might work.
What should we do for the woman who has been
mugged, now too afraid to leave her home to buy food or go to work? Should she be offered
counseling, should we try to organize transportation for her? I think so.
How should we help the man who's been shot who
can no longer use his hands to perform his old job? Should we help him learn how to earn a
living a new way? I think so.
What can we say to the elderly victim of a
telemarketing scam who lost his entire life savings and can't earn it back? Should we
offer emergency financial assistance? I think so.
What can we offer the battered woman who
wants desperately to leave her violent home but will need a job, day care, and new housing
to do it? Can we make her a priority? Yes.
What do we say to the young victim of sexual
assault, incest or child abuse, who has begun to use drugs to numb the pain? Can we give
him priority access to drug treatment? I think we should.
So the first principle of parallel justice
is that we marshal government resources to help victims feel safe and get back on track.
Quite frankly, we need to reintegrate victims as well as offenders.
Let me be clear that I also believe there is a
role for offenders in this process. Offenders who are apprehended should make restitution.
If victims want more information about the crime (some do, some don't), offenders can give
them a more complete understanding of what happened and why. If they acknowledge
responsibility, they can also contribute to a victim's well-being in ways nobody else can.
They can offer apologies and remorse.
But, in a system of parallel justice, there is
a role for society at large, represented by the state, in repairing the harm. Only the
government can marshal the many resources needed to address victims' long-term,
complicated problems. The health care, the job training, or the relocation needs of
victims--usually cannot be addressed by offenders alone. Society as a whole should be
asked to play a role.
While offenders should be asked to do as much
as they can, society at large has a separate obligation to help victims return to
productive, communal life.
All victims should be offered a variety of
services from counseling and psychotherapy to practical assistance, such as new locks for
their doors and new glass for broken windows. And services should go beyond crisis
intervention to address ongoing needs. A crime may last only moments, but its impact can
be felt for a lifetime. So our first principle is to restore safety and then make every
effort to repair the harm.
Second, all victims should be eligible for
victims' compensation. Under our current system, compensation is limited to victims of
violent crime. If you are mugged on the street, you may get compensation for lost wages
and medical bills. The victim of burglary, however, who also lost wages and is terrified
in her own home typically gets no support. We don't offer help to the victim of identity
theft who can't get a mortgage--who has lost her good name and good credit rating. We
don't provide financial resources to victims of fraud left destitute.
Under some state laws, even victims of violent
crime may be denied compensation if they are deemed unworthy. Recently, a woman who'd been
raped and badly beaten for hours, was denied
compensation because she used cocaine in the
past. A man who suffered horrendous physical injury was denied compensation because he had
been indicted, not convicted, for using drugs.
In North Carolina, many battered women were
denied compensation because they had been living with, but not married to, their abuser.
Fortunately, after substantial press attention, many of these decisions were reversed.
But, some states still routinely deny compensation to any victim with a criminal record.
In a system of parallel justice, a victim of crime is a victim of crime, and all deserve
some level of reimbursement for their losses.
Of course, the government could never fully
reimburse some victims for the catastrophic losses they have suffered. We will always have
caps on what is possible and private insurance will continue to cover many losses. But in
extreme cases, why not at least give victims access to interest-free loans to help them
get back on track? We do it for flood victims, why not for victims of crime?
In our search for parallel justice let's
examine how other countries respond to victims. In Australia, there's a separate
administrative hearing, where victims can appear in person or submit a written statement.
The purpose is to allow victims an opportunity to voice their needs, and the government,
an opportunity to respond. Australians can have the "day in court" victims so
desperately want because this forum is about victims--all victims, with or without an
identified offender.
In America, victim compensation covers funeral
expenses, missed days of work, medical bills for physical injuries, and lost wages. Some
states include crime scene clean-up and relocation expenses. But no state in America
recognizes and provides significant compensation for the pain and suffering of crime
In several other countries--including
Australia, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and France --victims are given a predetermined
award by the government to acknowledge the pain and suffering they've experienced. This is
in addition to reimbursement for specific financial losses. In Germany and Belgium, courts
have the authority to award victims damages as part of the criminal trial--same judge,
same trial.
There are many systems to examine and many
lessons to learn--but let us at least begin by expanding our current system of
compensation to include all victims of crime and let's create real, local authority to
marshal government resources on behalf of victims.
I'm sure by now some of you are wondering
how we can afford all this. For a moment let's consider the enormous social costs of not
helping victims.
Every year millions of Americans become
victims of crime. Many change their lives dramatically. They stay home at night. They
restrict themselves to certain neighborhoods. They abuse drugs and alcohol to cope with
their pain. Some lose jobs because they have crime-related disabilities or because they
missed work to attend court. Some victims learn violent behavior and grow up to become
criminals themselves--all of these constitute enormous losses to society.
And let's look at some of our criminal justice
budget items. Since 1994, Congress has appropriated over $5 billion to hire new police
officers and over $2 billion for state prison construction.
Last year, state and federal governments spent
$2.1 billion on programs such as halfway houses, work release centers, house arrest,
electronic monitoring, parole transition centers, parole/work furlough, and
alcohol/substance abuse and sex offender treatment--all efforts to get offenders back on
track. Now it's time for Congress and the states to find more funding to help victims get
back on track.
What does the federal government currently do
for victims? Not much. Under the 1984 Victims of Crime Act, last year, the federal
government gave states $450 million for victim services and victim compensation. This
money was all from offender fines and penalties; none of it was appropriated from general
tax revenues. While offenders absolutely should contribute to the effort, there is
something fundamentally wrong with committing tax dollars to fund every aspect of our
response to crime--except helping victims.
Of course, there are some exceptions. Most
notably, since 1994, Congress has appropriated over $1 billion under the Violence Against
Women Act. We supported this Act and worked hard to get it reauthorized. These funds
helped thousands, if not millions, of women across America, receive the counseling, the
housing, the support they needed, to escape violence.
To create parallel justice though, we must
forge a national commitment to help all victims of crime, not just battered women and rape
victims, and we must commit tax dollars to the effort, not just rely on offender fines to
accomplish the task.
In this season of political transition, with
a new president and a new Congress taking office next month, we call upon our leadership
to enact a new Victims of Crime Act. This legislation would expand the scope of
compensation to include all victims of crime. Local leaders would be challenged to assess
the needs of victims in their community, establish a process for meeting those needs, and
combine federal and local resources to make parallel justice a reality.
The justice we seek will also produce a
safer society.
In a forthcoming study by the National Council
on Crime and Delinquency, our partner in a special project on teen victims, the NCCD
looked at data collected by the National Adolescent Health Survey and determined the
single greatest factor in predicting criminal behavior on the part of teenagers--the most
significant risk factor--was not teenage pregnancy, or drug use, or truancy--but whether
they had been a victim of crime.
Surely this should serve as a wake-up call. It
is in our interest as a nation to help victims of crime not only because it's the right
thing to do--not only because our country would be healthier and more productive--but
because helping victims may turn out to be one of the most effective ways to prevent
further crime and violence.
We have made a lot of progress
recently--crafting new approaches to justice for offenders. We now speak of solving
problems, not just processing cases. We now have community courts, drug courts, domestic
violence courts, and soon we will have re-entry courts.
Our concept of justice for victims must evolve
as well. Every school child in America knows the Miranda warnings. They know if they are
ever accused of violating the law, they will have certain due process rights. In the
future, every child in America should also know--that if they become the victim of a
crime, they have a right to be heard, and that our country will help them rebuild their
They should know they not only have rights to
participate in the system of justice for offenders--but they also have their own system of
parallel justice.
Thank you.

Ooooogh...I did it.
by, 19-Feb-2011 at 19:12 (990 Views)
I got some money and I spent some of it on some things I've been wanting for a while.
I got myself a Lite Brite and an Etch a Sketch. <3 Coloring Books and everything. I used the excuse that I wanted more papers for my Lite Brite (which I do) to order from Toys R Us/Babies R Us. I got two refill packets for my Lite Brite and I threw in two packs of pacifiers and a set of rattles. I'm SERIOUSLY hoping that it's all small enough to come in one box and that the box will say "Toys R Us/Babies R Us". If it comes in two I'll be scrambling to think of something because two refill packets shoudn't be that big. Maybe I'll say that I ordered something else.
If it comes just saying "Babies" I'm planning on saying "Maybe they were out of the regular boxes." or "They're the same company so they probably use the same boxes for everything."
And if I get busted for the pacifiers I'm planning on pulling out one of my old Cabbage Patch dolls. I've been known to buy baby stuff for them to wear, so that might be acceptable.
I had to do something because last night I -dreamed- about pacifiers. Dancing pacifiers at that.

Specialized Master's Programs
Core Courses
Financial Management, FIN 60401
3 credits
This course is intended for students whose only exposure to managerial/corporate finance is an introductory course in finance. This course builds upon and extends the topics covered in that course. Students who have taken an advanced corporate finance course should not take this course. The course provides students with a framework in which a wide variety of corporate financial policy decisions can be evaluated. Value creation is the unifying theme. Among the topics included are risk and return, capital structure theory, dividend policy, corporate restructuring, leasing ,capital budgeting, real options and working capital management. Class lectures and case discussions are combined to blend theory and practice.
Financial Policy, FIN 70441
2 credits
This course provides a framework for the evaluation of corporate financial policy decisions. Topics covered include financial statement analysis, financial planning, working capital management, the dividend decision, leasing, options, warrants, convertibles, risk management and international financial management. Emphasis is placed on practical applications and the use of financial methods in decision making.
Negotiation, MGT 70439
2 credits
The purpose of this course is to provide students with the theoretical understanding and skill development that is necessary for effective negotiations and team management. Negotiation skills and techniques will be developed through an exposure to different approaches to negotiations; in addition, students will learn the latest approaches to team-building and management skills, including leadership styles, the team paradox, and how to analyze team productivity.
Taxes and Business Strategy, ACCT 70601
3 credits
Tax rules are pervasive in their effect on the investment and financing decisions of business. Managers must understand how changes in tax rules influence the behavior of their customers, their employees, their suppliers and their competitors to avoid operating at a competitive disadvantage. This, in turn, has consequences for how current tax rules affect taxpayers' economic balance sheets. This course uses an economics-based approach to consider how tax and non-tax factors affect business activities. The framework developed is highly integrative: investment strategies and financing policies within firms are linked through taxes. The first part of the course develops the fundamental concepts that represent the building blocks of the framework. The second part applies the framework to specific decision settings such as compensation planning, choice of organizational form, mergers and acquisitions, and multi-jurisdictional tax planning.

On a lovely sunny Saturday morning at Lasswade High School 3G Linlithgow and Bonnyrigg Rose under 15s girls' teams met for the second week running, but this time a place in the League Cup Semi Final was at stake.
Bonnyrigg took an early lead when a corner from Eilidh Morris was flicked on by Amber Scotland and headed into the roof of the net by Aimee Russell.
Linlithgow came more into the game as the half went on and Bonnyrigg keeper Megane Steel pulled off a string of excellent saves to keep the Rose one up. Linlithgow eventually got their deserved equaliser just before half time as the sides went in 1-1 at the interval.
Fairly early in the second half Bonnyrigg went ahead again with a well struck free kick by Bethany Simpson. Before Linlithgow again equalised making it 2-2.
With the visitors looking the more likely to take the lead, Bonnyrigg were lucky enough to be awarded a penalty which was expertly put away by Amber Scotland. The same player then got a second goal chasing down a clearance to put the Rose through to Semi Final next month against Hutchison Vale.
Full time score Bonnyrigg 4 – Linlithgow 2.

Today I planned on making two matte paintings and changing one to look more "dead" without having to do a lot of extra work. I made the living world first and then began striping away the saturation and color. I also had to destroy two waterfalls. This was a lot of fun and I feel pretty good about them.

Least Expensive Price Per Acre On The Emerald Coast.
From sandy beach to gently sloping forest with superb ocean views, this property is ideal for large or small development. Just over an hour and a half from Managua's international airport, the parcel is conveniently situated on the coastal highway at the Northern end of Nicaragua's Emerald Coast.
Matapalo is closer to Managua and Granada and the attractions of the Rio Escalante Chacocente Wildlife Refuge than the resorts of Tola and San Juan del Sur. Perfectly positioned to take advantage of the opportunities provided by the Chacocente Wildlife Refuge and the amenities of Nicaragua's Emerald Coast, this stunning property can be reached either from Casares to the North, Santa Teresa to the East or El Astillero to the South.
This beautiful 776 acre property with its 1,267 meters of coastline sits on a beautiful, wide and 8 km (5 mile) long beach with multiple surf breaks, swimming spots and a river estuary, making it a superb location for a mixed-use Resort or Residential development attracting a variety of clients. Surfers, families, adventure enthusiasts, nature lovers, and those who seek unique and tranquil spots around the globe will all be attracted to this location.
Sloping gently upwards from the ocean, Matapalo has excellent ocean views from most of the property while also being easily and economically developable. There is a natural spring on the property, as well as a well and two small rivers making this one of the region's most attractive investments. Wildlife abounds, and the location is home to many of Nicaragua's native flora and fauna species.
- Most attractive price on the Emerald Coast: less than $9,500/acre!
- Well over a kilometer (1,267 meters) of Coastline
- Water on the property
- Varied topography for maximum site usage and views
- Near the Rio Escalante-Chacocente Wildlife Refuge
- Proximity to the Capital and Emerald Coast amenities
- Situated directly along the government's proposed Coastal Road
- Wide sandy swimming beaches
- Multiple surf breaks
- Agriculture opportunities
- Approximately 774 acres (316 hectares). May be subdivided
- Fully titled, with all ownership documentation
- Infrastructure credit and infrastructure collaboration if desired
- Unparalleled ocean views and encounters with nature
Just 15 minutes to the south is the Rio Escalante-Chacocente Wildlife Refuge with one of the world's most significant sea turtle nesting sites. Tens of thousands of endangered sea turtles nest and over a million babies hatch each year. Troops of howler monkeys wander through the canopy, and stately trees have grown undisturbed for hundreds of years.
While in close proximity to the Refuge, Matapalo sits well outside its boundaries, allowing for real estate development, hospitality, farming and other activities. The property's owners are open to subdividing the property if less land is desired, with individual parcels starting at 100 acres.
The property is large enough to accommodate one or more hotels, commercial areas, and hundreds of homes and condos. It sits adjacent to a site currently designated for one of this area's most significant master planned communities, designed to promote the area as a tourism destination. It is this development group who currently own the Matapalo property.
The group has spent the last fifteen years amassing properties on this segment of the Coast, and they've done their homework. They know who their neighbors are. They know the local community, and they know what is needed in the area to attract an international clientele. They keep their fingers on the pulse of the government's plan to execute infrastructure in the area, and they will share their knowledge and experience with the buyers of the Matapalo property.
Topography on the site is varied and entirely suitable for development. The majority of the property slopes gently upward from the ocean to an approximate height of 160 feet, interspersed with a variety of larger flat areas. The large amount of buildable terrain allows for easy development and prime sites with ocean views.
Approximately 250 acres, one third the property, offers high elevations with slightly more rugged terrain and magnificent sweeping views of the coastline. A previously farmed area of approximately 80 acres at the back of the property is an ideal spot for orchards, organic farming, or other agricultural uses.
This property offers the best of the Emerald Coast at the best price. For more information, contact us today.
Property Map
What attracted us to the property is that it is on one of the most beautiful beaches in Nicaragua, and because the property itself lends itself to so many varied developmental opportunities. The property will steal your heart just as it has stolen ours. We have nurtured and cared for Matapalo for over 15 years, and are only selling it to finance the development of the Nezua Resort, Spa and Residences next door.

Our Laurels were in charge of coming up with a theme this year. They chose Alice in Wonderland—so I went on the search for a way to tie it into personal progress and found this quote by President Monson:
Let us not find ourselves as indecisive as Alice. You will remember that she comes to a crossroads with two paths before her, each stretching onward but in opposite directions. She is confronted by the Cheshire cat, of whom Alice asks, "Which path shall I follow"
The cat answers, "That depends where you want to go. If you do not know where you want to go, it doesn't matter which path you take."7Unlike Alice, we all know where we want to go, and it does matter which way we go, for by choosing our path, we choose our destination.
So there we had it, personal progress helps us choose the right path! Consequently this is the topic one of our speakers used—and we also sent it out on the invitations.
We decorated with hearts, books, and teacups hung from the ceiling to make them look like they were "falling down the rabbit hole." And one of my Laurels did the flower center pieces. She purchased white roses and actually "painted the roses red" by brushing red craft paint on them.
Also signs and arrows were posted around the room pointing in all directions. (We should have had some that listed the values, oh well.)
A second speaker used a quote from the Doorknob character above.
Food was all purchased from Costco: Muffins cut in half, Madelines, Aussie bites, Crackers and cheese, and fruit drink. We borrowed the tea pots from members of the relief society who were glad to lend them to us.
The girls had a great time! One of them told me it was her favorite Young Women in Excellence so far.
I can't share any of the graphics with you, as I purchased them from Dollar Photo Club, a stock website. But at least this can give you an idea to do your own. And I am however, including PDF sheets for the decorations—the lines are thin so as to use very little ink.

We've been waiting for more news on TMNT: Smash-Up ever since the Ubisoft's pre-E3 event, and we've finally got it here for you in the form of a character reveal trailer. There's no word yet on how many of these videos we'll get – or of just how many fighters will be joining the brawl later this year – but if tonight's exclusive footage is any indication we've got a few more clips to go.
Check out the video below, and then head on back to chat about the new characters:
So there you have it. Shown in tonight's exclusive debut trailer we've got four new characters (three really, since we all knew Raphael was in the game) making their TMNT Smash-up debut. First on the list is good old Raph, and you can see him laying down a spinning sai attack on none other than the second unveiled character, a generic Foot Ninja. The footage shows the ninja pulling off wall jumps and blade work, and then cuts over to character number three for the day, Casey Jones. Resembling a look from the 2003 TMNT show, Casey is back with hockey stick in hand. It looks like he'll play the role of a mid-heavy fighter, using plenty of charging attacks and what looks to be a back flip pop-up attack. As a fan favorite, Casey Jones was just a matter of time before we got an official word.
As for the final guy though, we've got a seldom-seen character outside of the remade TMNT show and original comic books. The Utrom species – an alien race that worked with humans under the infamous TCRI corporation – look to be represented in full force within Smash-Up. Not only do we have an Utrom as a fighter, but "Utrominator" makes use of a set of battle armor similar to what Krang used back in the 1980's cartoon. While Utrominator isn't based on one specific character in the series, it looks like the dev team has found a way to get the jelly-like aliens in a star role for Smash-Up. Nice new battle armor guys… welcome to the fight.
We've got plenty of new screens and art renders of today's featured fighters below. Check back for another update soon. Here's hoping for a huge cast of fighters, as well as the highly rumored Fugitoid, and if we're lucky Usagi Yojimbo.

Re: Aikido for Drug/alcohol Rehab
Let me take advantage of this thread to point to the fact that martial arts in general attract people who have problems, but they will not always tell the head instructor upon signing up. I think it is very important for a martial art instructor to learn to decipher symptoms - they can be very subttle - of spychological distress in a student, and also what the proper course of action - say in the case of an abused child - is, or the proper way to help the student with his or her issues.
I just wonder if this is a requirement for openning a martial art school in some countries.

Senior representatives from most local law enforcement agencies convened a news conference to announce seven arrests in relation to numerous burglaries and robberies that had occurred in Craven and Pamlico counties since October. It was an opportunity for them to take a bow on behalf of their officers and departments in the capture of some people who had been doing some bad things recently.
The news conference on Friday was a who�s who of local law enforcement.
Senior representatives from most local law enforcement agencies convened to announce seven arrests in relation to numerous burglaries and robberies that had occurred in Craven and Pamlico counties since October. It was an opportunity for them to take a bow on behalf of their officers and departments in the capture of some people who had been doing some bad things recently.
The first incident that we know of occurred at IFixNC in New Bern on Oct. 30 � a burglary.
Then on Nov. 5, burglaries at Neuse Cinema and a car in the theater parking lot.
On Nov. 9, a burglary at B$W Sweepstakes in New Bern.
On Dec. 4, a burglary at Comfort Suites hotel in New Bern.
On Dec. 8, burglaries at Our Town Laundromat, Andy�s and Panichelli�s Pizza in Vanceboro.
On Dec. 14, burglaries at Pamlico High School, Mayo�s Restaurant, Paisley�s Hair Salon, the County Compass newspaper office, Oriental Marina and Oriental Marina and Inn in Pamlico County.
On Dec. 19, burglaries at Rac Acceptance and Attitude�s Pub and Grill in River Bend.
Then they became more brazen. On Dec. 27, they robbed at gunpoint the Best Western Plus hotel and Hampton Inn in Craven County, as well as burglarized Glenburnie Coins and Pawn.
District Attorney Scott Thomas said Friday at the news conference that the nine defendants operated as an informal group.
�They would team up as two or three together to commit these separate offenses at the various locations,� he said.
Then things began to unravel, and it started with some alert police on patrol in River Bend.
On Dec. 18, patrol officers noticed an open door at Attitudes Bar and Grill on Shoreline Drive at 2 a.m. The door had not been ajar during an earlier pass, so the officers stopped to investigate.
Two men inside the business jumped into a getaway car and fled, with police in pursuit. A 14-minute chase included downtown New Bern, Simmons Street, Oaks Road then Brunswick Avenue, before the getaway car became trapped at an apartment complex. Two fled on foot and escaped � temporarily. The driver was captured and she reportedly cooperated with police.
Four men became persons of interest to police in the crime spree. Then authorities received a tip from an informant that they may be hiding out in Raleigh. The Raleigh Police Department confirmed one had been arrested, and in reviewing evidence in the case, the New Bern PD, Raleigh PD, and other agencies discovered the location of the remaining three suspects, who were arrested at a hotel in Raleigh.
Police from Raleigh and New Bern conducted interviews throughout the night that resulted in information to charge three with the robberies of the hotels in New Bern as well as a break-in where several guns were stolen. The interviews also linked additional people to burglaries throughout the region.
In addition to the seven now in jail, two more are on the run.
�Three of the suspects were from our local counties,� said Chief Toussaint E. Summers Jr. �Good investigative work by all agencies involved, along with the guidance and support of the District Attorney Scott Thomas, connected the Raleigh suspects to crimes in this area.�
Local law enforcement agencies are justifiably proud of these arrests, and so are we.
One of the victims put it succinctly as a Facebook comment to the Sun Journal�s story about the arrests.
�Attitudes in River Bend is thankful,� it said.

The Insider's Guide to Shopping in Capri
Skip the luxury chains and tourist traps in favor of Susanne Thun's secret spots that sell chic sandals, vintage-inspired embroidered pillows and bespoke knitwear
ENCHANTING features aren't in short supply on Capri. The Mediterranean haven has emerald waters, fragrant lemon groves, tile-embellished hotels and fleets of open-air stretch taxis. But shopping on the Italian isle can be a less than storybook experience.
Capri's center, where most boutiques are concentrated, encompasses an uneven mix of local vendors; luxury stores are crammed with the same merchandise browsers can find elsewhere in the world. And all of it is often blanketed with crowds of day-trippers....

Sammy Sanchez participates in the baseball clinic for children with disabilities at Sluggersville, organized by the Blue Sox. Local high school volunteers also helped some kids swing baseball bats for the first time. MARIA POUCHNIKOVA / TIMES PHOTOS
Billy Killian lost his anonymity forever on April 20, 2004.
On that night, the off-duty Philadelphia police officer was shopping at his local convenience store when an armed robber burst into the place and held up the cashier. Killian was also packing heat that night. He charged to the front of the store, leapt over a counter and arrested the stunned bandit on the spot.
A video surveillance camera filmed the whole episode. Someone posted the 52-second clip on YouTube.com in October 2007. Since then, more than 161,000 people have watched it.
The film unveils a dominant element of Killian's character, a trait that permeates every component of his daily life. The 7th district patrol cop is a baseball fanatic, as evidenced by the bright red Phillies cap he wore throughout that fateful 7-Eleven visit nine years ago.
About four years ago, Killian fulfilled a longtime dream by co-founding a baseball team of his police department colleagues. The Philadelphia Blue Sox now compete in the National Police and Fire Baseball Congress. On the side, they play exhibition games to raise money for charity.
Last month, Killian and his cohorts spent a Saturday sharing their passion with dozens of young people who might otherwise never have the chance to swing a bat, throw a pitch or field a grounder. They organized a baseball clinic for special-needs children at the Sluggersville indoor training facility.
"It feels good to help kids who can't play in an organized setting and give them experiences that we all take for granted," said Killian, whose Blue Sox will play the NY/NJ Port Authority Police this Saturday at Archbishop Ryan High School at 11 a.m.
About 50 young people ranging in age from 2 to 26 showed up for the April 13 clinic, which the team publicized through social media and word-of-mouth. Some have mental challenges like autism or Down syndrome, while others have physical challenges, such as spina bifida. Opportunities for kids and young adults like these are rare when it comes to America's pastime.
"A lot of times, our kids don't have something to do," said Cyndi Hinchey, founder of the Holy Terrors Stars, a Northeast-based sports program for special-needs children. She is the mother of two autistic sons, Danny, 11, and Tommy, 13.
"This is a place where the kids can be comfortable, be safe and have fun," Hinchey said.
The clinic was a far-reaching community effort. Sluggersville opened the doors to its 22,000-square-foot training center at 9490 Bluegrass Road. A group of Northeast natives, including Joe Brown, Jim Mort, Joe Doyle and Nick Capecci, opened the facility last September. Brown describes it as the only indoor baseball center of its kind in the city. The converted warehouse also features a concession stand, game room, party room and restrooms.
"We've been packed all winter. Baseball is booming, especially in Northeast Philly," Brown said.
It's also big in South Philly. That's where most of the kids on the Ss. John Neumann and Maria Goretti High School baseball team live. They provided much of the hands-on instruction for the clinic under the direction of their head coach Mike Zolk. A Parkwood resident, Zolk also serves as the head trainer at Sluggersville and the manager of the Blue Sox.
"Billy approached us [about the clinic] and asked us if we were interested, and I thought it was a great idea," Zolk said. "That's part of the reason I came on board [as Blue Sox manager]. I love this stuff. I set up nine stations, and each is a specific drill. We're showing them all the basics."
State Rep. John Sabatina helped fund the program, which included lunch for the players, free T-shirts and a home run derby. It reminded him of his own brief baseball career.
"I was pretty good actually, but I hit a slump during [high school] try-outs," Sabatina said. "I didn't make varsity as a sophomore. But I was an all-star at Rhawnhurst for a couple of years."
Business supporters included Faulkner Hyundai, Ace Public Adjusters and Philly Surround Sound. The kids and their families appreciated every bit of it, including Kira Liples of Doylestown and her son, Ciarlo, 2 1/2, who has spina bifida.
"He has a brace and a walker. He's having a blast," Liples said.
Neumann-Goretti junior Charlie Jerla of South Philly is a major college baseball prospect. He brought his 19-year-old cousin, Kevin Dalin, who has Down syndrome.
"[Charlie] was very interested when he heard about this program," Jerla's mom, Kate, said. "He wanted to bring Kevin because they are very close and connected through baseball. Kevin loves Ryan Howard and he knows everything about the Phillies."
"[Kevin] says he's the announcer for the Phillies," Charlie Jerla said. "He thinks he's the next Harry Kalas." ••

SFD station open houses highlight fire-based emergency medical care
Public invited to downtown and DC Ranch stations Saturday, 9-Noon
SCOTTSDALE – When you call 911 for medical emergencies, it's Scottsdale Firefighters who provide care before you arrive at the hospital. SFD paramedics provide the pre-hospital emergency care and will ride in the ambulance to provide the continuity of service until care is transferred to hospital staff.
"We take pride in providing door-to-hospital service," says Scottsdale Fire Chief Tom Shannon. "It's one of the most important ways we emulate our motto 'We Care for You.'"
National Emergency Medical Services Week, May 18-24, brings together local communities and medical personnel to publicize safety and honor the dedication of those who are "Still Making House Calls."
To kick off the 2014 EMS Week and highlight fire-based emergency medical services, Scottsdale Fire will join other valley fire departments and play host at Open Houses. The public is invited to visit between 9 a.m.-noon, this Saturday, May 17, at Downtown Fire Station 2 (7522 E. Indian School Rd.) and DC Ranch Station 11 (20355 N. Pima Rd.).
Scottsdale joins other fire departments across the valley with these events to draw the public's attention to the quality emergency medical services they receive from their fire department as key stakeholders in our community.
"When you access the 911 system, you receive the closest appropriate Advanced Life Support unit, which means there are at least two fire department paramedics and two EMTs, with the goal of 4-minute response times," says Shannon. "Quick response by SFD paramedics provides early intervention for time-critical illnesses, such as cardiac arrest, heart attack, stroke, respiratory emergencies, trauma, etc. This means better possible outcomes for our patients."

Corporations Stole Billions Of Dollars Of Gas From Landowners
Energy companies were supposed to compensate rural Virginians for the billions of dollars worth of gas they sucked from their land, but a local newspaper's Pulitzer Prize-winning investigation found that the money has instead been diverted into escrow accounts for over 20 years. If the landowner even knows the money is there, it's nigh impossible to get it out, and in any event, the companies have only been putting in a fraction of what they're supposed to. A rubber-stamping regulatory board that hadn't done an audit for a decade only compounded the problem. I drink your milkshake, indeed.
1. Money made from Southwest Va. gas wells isn't reaching people it should
2. Siphoning natural gas profits from under the feet of landowners
3. Captive assets: conflict over gas rights traps royalties in escrow accounts
4. Coal companies block efforts to access natural gas royalties
5. Natural gas escrow fund bleeding money
6. Underfoot, Out of Reach, Part Six: Where are the gas royalties?
7. Underfoot, Out of Reach, Part Seven: An audit long delayed
8. Southwest Virginia's Natural Gas, Underfoot, Out of Reach, Part 8: Sue, split or do nothing

text: It appears that the Wii Fit could outsell GTA4 by the end of the year. That's kind of a big deal. The Grand Theft Auto franchise is the equivalent of a hot Hollywood offering. There's action, interesting character and a loyal fan base eager for sequel. Wii Fit is a family friendly exercise game. Putting the two is the same category is a bit silly. The only thing they have in common is the category. They each offer something different and owning one doesn't mean you don't own the other. They are both fun, different kinds of fun. The Wii Fit has sold nearly 13 Million units. Close to 30% of Wii users have Wii Fit. In a time of economic turmoil it's good to know there's still time for family fun and shit.

In this lesson I use a Reverse Flow Chart to promote student engagement through curiosity. This is a concrete strategy that helps students realize where gaps in their understanding occur. (This strategy is described in depth in the video How Do I Get Energy to My Home?)
Our question is: "How does electricity get to your home?"
On each table are 4" x 4" pieces of paper. One student in the group draws an outlet in the wall. I ask students to follow the electricity through what they think is the path. For example, "How does the electricity get to the outlet?" Answer: "Wires in the house." "How does the electricity get to the wires in the house?" Each of the students takes a piece of paper and adds a step in the flow of electricity backwards from the outlet.
The groups discuss their answers and make the drawings. When they are done, I collect the drawings and say, "Let's see how correct you were". (SP1- Asking Questions and Defining Problems to clarify and/or refine an explanation).
To integrate technology students explore the path from power plants to homes using an animated site called Tesla Town. My strategy is incorporating technology. Sponsored by the University of Illinois, this site offers an interactive method for understanding the flow of electricity.
Students move to a computer with a partner. I give them the Tesla Town- Student Instructions directions. This document has specific instructions and I use it so students can work independently on the activity.
I demonstrate where to start. Students start at the Edison School of Energy to see how Faraday's generator works. By turning a crank, students make a row of lights light up. I ask them to switch out the light bulb to determine the volts they can produce by turning the crank.
Question: What is the generator made of? What needs to be done to generate electricity?
I live in Northern Illinois and our energy is transferred from coal power plants and nuclear power plants. I ask students to go to the coal power plant. They will transfer coal, light a fire and turn a generator. I ask the question, "Why are some people concerned about burning coal to make the generator work?"
Students then proceed to the nuclear power plant. I ask, "What is an advantage of nuclear power?
The students then go to the first substation. They read how electricity must transfer to a higher power to travel long distances and then sent to another transformer to lower the voltage so it is safe in a house. I ask the question, "Why must they make the voltage higher and then lower? What would happen if the electricity would not get changed to a higher and lower voltage?" (SP-2: Developing and Using Models Develop and/or use a model to predict and/or describe phenomena.)
I ask the students to go back to their groups and look at the Energy Flow chart. I ask, "Did you get every step?" Students add or remove steps so they have a complete flow chart. I spend time Scaffolding the Flow Chart. I ask them to copy the flow chart into their notebooks.
My students have learned about the Law of Conservation of Energy (Exploring the Law of Conservation of Energy) so it is appropriate to ask students to label the energy transfers. They must start with the generator and end with the outlet in the wall.
By writing all of the Tesla Town steps combined in the notebooks, students have a resource to refer to if they get confused about how the energy is produced.
To support visual learners, I show a video - Energy 101: Electricity Generation (by Energy and Environment News). This five-minute clip explains the same concepts in Tesla Town using animation. In student reflections on their learning, my students have indicated that this video has helped them understand how energy gets into their homes.
At the end of the video, students go back to their groups and look at the Flow Charts they created. I ask, "Did you get every step?"Students add or remove steps so they have a complete flow chart. I ask them to copy the flow chart into their notebooks.
And again, just as they did after Tesla Town, students go back to label the energy transfers, starting with the generator and ending with the outlet in the wall. Thinking models aren't static - as we learn our models are refined. I am deliberately modeling the use of revision of concept maps as a learning strategy throughout our exploration of how energy gets to our homes.
By writing all of the Flow Chart steps combined in the notebooks, students have a resource to refer to if they get confused about how the energy is produced.
I use Summary Writing as a strategy for evaluation. Students have examined how energy reaches their homes. This summary has several important uses. I am assessing the student understanding from energy initiation to energy used in a home. In addition, I am pre-assessing their level of prior knowledge of climate change.
My intention is for students to write about the path of energy as it relates to themselves and their families. I want to assess their understanding of how their energy needs contribute to climate change. In the lesson, students examined burning coal as a means to generate energy and they responded to why some people are against burning coal. I want to determine if they generalized this learning to their own lives.
I ask them to write a 3-5 sentence summary using the prompt:
Explain how your family's energy needs have an impact on climate change. Include information from your energy notebook, the movie, or Tesla Town to support your ideas. Include what your family can do to curb climate change.
With this information I can determine the path for additional learning. For some students, I may need to work with them individually to help them make the learning leap. I give them the opportunity to change their summary to earn the points.

Versie 8.5 van Drupal is uitgebracht. Drupal is een in php geschreven, gebruiksvriendelijk en krachtig contentmanagementplatform, waarmee bijvoorbeeld websites kunnen worden gemaakt. Het is eenvoudig genoeg voor een beginnende gebruiker, maar krachtig genoeg om ook een wat complexere website te bouwen. Het programma bevat een contentmanagementplatform en een development-framework. De release notes voor deze versie kunnen hieronder worden gevonden.
Media in core improved and available to all site builders
In Drupal 8.4, we added a Media API to core that drew on work from the contributed Media Entity module, but the module was hidden from the user interface due to user experience issues. In Drupal 8.5, many of the usability issues have been addressed, and the module now can be enabled normally. Media in Drupal 8.5 supports uploading and playing audio and video files, as well as listing and reusing media.
For an optimal user experience, we suggest enhancing the core feature set with the rich ecosystem of contributed modules that extends the core Media module. In future releases, we will improve the core user experience with a media library and other tools, add WYSIWYG integration, add support for remote media types like YouTube videos, and provide an upgrade path for existing basic File and Image field data on existing sites.Settings Tray and Content Moderation now stable
Two experimental modules originally added with Drupal 8.2.0 have been steadily improving in past releases and are now stable. The Settings Tray module provides a quick solution to manage settings in context, such as moving items around in a menu block. The Content Moderation module allows defining content workflow states such as Draft, Archived, and Published, as well as which roles have the ability to move content between states. Drupal 8.5.0 also adds support for translations to be moderated independently.New experimental Layout Builder module
The new experimental Layout Builder module provides display layout capabilities for articles, pages, user profiles, and other entity displays. Layout Builder uses the same "outside-in" user interface that Settings Tray module does, allowing site builders to edit their layouts on the actual page (rather than having to go to a separate form on the backend). The current user interface is a basic implementation but we expect it will improve significantly in the coming months.Big steps for migrations
After over four years of work, this release marks the Migrate system's architecture stable. The Drupal Migrate and Drupal Migrate UI modules are also considered stable for upgrading monolingual sites. (Multilingual site upgrades are still not fully supported.) Support for incremental migrations is also included in this release. See the migrate announcement for further details on migrating to Drupal 8.BigPipe by default
The BigPipe module provides an advanced implementation of Facebook's BigPipe page rendering strategy for greatly improved perceived performance for pages with dynamic, personalized, or uncacheable content. The module was added in Drupal 8.1.0 experimentally and became stable in Drupal 8.3.0. Following real-world testing, Big Pipe is now included as part of Drupal 8.5.0's Standard installation profile, so that all Drupal 8 sites will be faster by default. BigPipe is also the first new Drupal 8 feature to mature from an experimental prototype all the way to being part of a standard installation!Groundwork for a Drupal 8 "Out of the Box" demo
Drupal 8.5.0 includes the groundwork for a new demo profile and theme from the Out of the Box Initiative, which will be a beautiful, modern demonstration of Drupal's capabilities. This will allow us to provide the demo experimentally, possibly in a future Drupal 8.5 release. (The demo profile and theme should not be used on actual production or development sites since no backwards compatibility or upgrade paths are provided.) If you'd like to see this demo in action, you can also see it in the 8.6.x development version.PHP 7.2 now supported
Drupal 8.5.0 now runs on PHP 7.2, which comes with new features and improves performance over PHP 7.1. PHP 7.2 is now the recommended PHP version to use with Drupal 8.

SUPER Eagles goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama has said that the Eagles will give everything on Sunday to beat Elephant of Cote d'Ivoire in one of the Africa Cup of Nations slated for the Royal Bafokeng Stadium, Rustenburg.
The Apoel Tel Aviv goal tender, who admitted that Eagles are in for a difficult challenge on Sunday, added that the Ivoirian are beatable if Nigerian side put up a good fight during the match.
Enyeama stated that Cote d'Ivoire favourite tag won't play any role when both face each other today.
"Cote d'Ivoire are the best team in this championship and you can't take that away from them. They are stars studded team, half of their team are playing in the English Premier League while the rest of the team are playing in the best team in Europe. They are the favourite but what I know is that stars don't play football. We will attack them like elephants on Sunday," Enyeama stated.
Enyeama had made some superb saves in the ongoing campaign that have helped Eagles to remain in the championship, visibly among them was the late minute save he made during the game against Ethiopia.
"I don't really know how significant the save was. Maybe it would have been 1-1 or 2-1, you never know. I just thank God for the save. I don't know how significant the save was because there is no reply to see it. Let thank God and move up from there. Our concern now is the game against Cote d'Ivoire and we are very focused for the match."

Ford To Make Electronic Stability Control Standard On All Trucks By End Of 2009
DEARBORN, Mich., Sept. 13, 2006 – Ford Motor Company is announcing it will build all Ford, Lincoln and Mercury retail cars and trucks with standard electronic stability control (ESC) by the end of 2009. Ford already is a world leader in the technology, with ESC currently standard on all Ford mid- and full-size SUVs, and standard ESC expanded to small SUVs and all CUVs in 2007.
"This is an acceleration of our plans to standardize safety features and is in line with our goal to be America's car company," said Derrick Kuzak, group vice president, Product Development, The Americas. "That commitment and an intense customer focus at the heart of the Way Forward plan led us to accelerate our plans to standardize electronic stability control systems."
Several studies, including those by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, show that electronic stability control is a highly effective safety innovation. A recent IIHS study indicates ESC systems can reduce single vehicle crashes by more than 40 percent and fatal accidents by 56 percent.
"We believe our electronic stability control systems are further improving vehicle safety by helping prevent many accidents from occurring in the first place," said Sue Cischke, vice president, Environment and Safety Engineering, Ford Motor Company. "Making families safer is a key part of our pledge to drive safety innovation."
Ford Motor Company currently has 4 million vehicles on the road globally with electronic stability control systems. More than one million of those vehicles feature Ford's AdvanceTrac® with Roll Stability Control an industry exclusive. AdvanceTrac® with Roll Stability Control, is the only available system which has two gyroscopic effect sensors to measure vehicle motion about both the Yaw and Roll axes.
Ford's first application of electronic stability control debuted in the 2000 model year. The 2003 model year Volvo XC90 was the first sport utility vehicle to feature standard AdvanceTrac ® with Roll Stability Control. AdvanceTrac® with Roll Stability Control is standard equipment on most 2007 model year Ford Motor Company SUVs and crossovers, including, Explorer and Expedition, Sport Trac, Lincoln Navigator, Mercury Mountaineer, Volvo XC90, Ford Edge, Lincoln MKX and on most E-350 passenger Wagons. AdvanceTrac® with Roll Stability Control will be added standard to the 2008 model year Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner. ESC will be added standard to the 2008 model year Ford Freestyle.

By Fadi Zanayed
The indiscriminate collective punishment imposed by the ruthless Israeli terrorist army in search of the allegedly kidnapped illegal Israeli settlers has gone unabated and the world is not in an outrage. In Chicago we have a major crisis of children being shot and killed on a daily basis and if the Chicago police raided the homes of citizens without search warrants and arrested Chicagoans at will based on an antiquated administrative detention law that does not charge or try those accused of wrong doing, the US would be in outrage. This does not happen in America because we are a democracy. We have a constitution–Israel does not not.
Israel has ransacked over 800 homes, has arrested more than 200 Palestinians, killed one child and produced such havoc that it strikes fear in the hearts of Palestinians. While Israel ruthlessly violates all international laws in its search for the 3 Israeli children, it has kidnapped 198 Palestinian children in its military jails. Let me emphasize: CHILDREN. Where is the outrage?
Israel displays the grieving mothers of the 3 Israeli children but the anguish of the 198 mothers of the Palestinian children abducted by Israel are ignored. Israel has every right to search for the missing 3 Israelis and everyone hopes that they return safe and sound back to their parents. But at the same time Israel must recognize that the right for children to be with their parents is not an exclusive right for Israelis alone. Palestinian children also have a right to be with their parents and not lingering in isolation inside Israeli prisons far away from their homes where there parents cannot visit them because Israel will not allow them to travel through military checkpoints.
The world continues to be outraged at the missing 300 African girls who were kidnapped last month. The world should be outraged at the kidnapping of the 3 Israeli children. And the world should be outraged at the illegal kidnapping of the 198 Palestinian children. The world should also be outraged at Israel for its ruthless indiscriminate collective punishment it is imposing upon the Palestinian population in direct violation of the Article 33 of the Fourth Geneva Convention.
Where is the outrage against Israel?

Agri-Food for Healthy Aging has developed a preliminary set of recommendations for LTC facilities for better pureed foods that provides examples for different types of food, as well as a checklist to ensure standardized texture outcomes.
Although in other countries dietetics associations have guidelines for modified food textures or dysphagia diets, in Canada there are not currently any similar guidelines on the topic of food textures or consistency descriptors. The Agri-Food for Healthy Aging initiative is a collaborative research group of a number of academic institutions and health and nutrition organizations in Ontario whose aim is to improve the health and wellbeing of aging and older adults through research in agriculture, food and nutrition.

There comes a time in your ex-life when you want everything to be enjoyable, exciting and interesting. Warsaw, the main Polish metropolitan, will fulfill all your EXisting desires. Rising from the ashes of World War II, where 85% of the city was destroyed, Warsaw now is a mosaic of parks, museums, majestic monuments, a flourishing nightlife scene and an up-and-coming futuristic skyline, forming a truly cosmopolitan city.
What Warsaw lacks in terms of beauty and luxury, it more than makes up for in cozy hidden havens: cafés, pastry shops, restaurants, bars and clubs which provide a perfect place for those in EXile. Start your day at the Tender Barbarian, a comforting café-bookshop-gallery combo – named after a book by Czech author Bohumil Hrabal –, an unpretentious cultural institution. Sample the creamy coffee collection and peruse an English-language art book nestled in a soft sofa. If you're still seeking some refuge, head to Moonsfera, a captivating rooftop restaurant overlooking the city. The appealing ambiance and the clever concoctions of fusion food will warm year healing heart.
EXorcise your toxic emotions and unwanted aggression by dancing the night away at neighboring Balsam, Pruderia and New Deep (www.newdeep.pl) clubs. Situated in Fort Mokotów's genuine military fortifications, the always-heaving bar and club complex serves up an eclectic clientele and music mix. Take it step by step. First absorb the new atmosphere by indulging in some people-watching from a comfortable armchair. Then try a variety of famous Polish vodka's (Żubrówka, Goldwasser, Sobieski and Gorzka Żołądkowa to name a few) to loosen up a bit. Finally, get in the groove and rock the night away!
After an exhilarating dance-filled evening, EXplore the cobblestone streets of the Old Town, packed with art galleries, antique shops, churches, and culinary establishments. Completely reconstructed after the war, the Old Town boasts the armed mermaid statue in the Market Square – the symbol of Warsaw -, the Royal Palace, Green Gallery on the Crooked Circle Street, poster shop and numerous amber jewelry stores.
Enjoy the many blessings of nature and delight in the grandeur of the Royal Łazienki Park, a 17th-century palace and garden group. Roam around the devious paths, discover the Baroque Belvedere annexes, the Palace on the Water, the Chopin statue and rose garden, and island-amphitheatre.
Bring some snacks, as the park is packed with freewheeling flashy peacocks, speedy squirrels, swans and ducks who always appreciate the free fare and care.
Continuing in an artistic frame of mind, EXpress yourself at the 17-century Ujazdów Castle housing the Centre for Contemporary Art , Kino. Lab Cinema, and the retro-funky Baumgart Café. The Centre's swiftly-shifting expositions focus on spotlighting the raw, dynamic changes of Polish and international art in all its forms. If you opt for a more down-to-earth and edifying experience, visit the Warsaw Rising Museum, opened in 2005, dedicated to the heroes of the 1944 Warsaw Uprising. Housed in a former power station, the exhibition presents a meticulous documentation of the 63-day combat, a symbol of Polish strength and spirit.

Hard Sun
Hard Sun S1 E1-3 (BBC One)
Hard Sun is one of those complicated 'high concept' affairs, which should make it a much harder sell than most of the prime time drama fare currently on show on TV.
It's created and written by Neil Cross, who brought us the similarly 'heightened/hyper reality' drama Luther. Both series feature situations that are amped up to the point where you know the whole thing is too over-the-top to be true, but it's both ludicrous and ludicrously entertaining even as you delight in pointing out all the myriad plot oversights.

New trailer for animated pic Epic, starring Amanda Seyfried, Colin Farrell, and Christoph Waltz hits
So, we have a new trailer for EPIC, the animated adventure pic from Blue Sky studios (ICE AGE, RIO) starring Amanda Seyfried, Colin Farrell, Josh Hutcherson, Jason Sudeikis, Aziz Ansari, Chris O'Dowd, and Christoph Waltz, as well as a few "musical" stars, including Pitbull, Steven Tyler, and Beyonce Knowles (because, why not?). We've seen a couple trailers already, which I thought were pretty decent and held a nice air of mystery without going "full kiddie,"but this new one puts it all out there, even shamelessly replacing the Snow Patrol song they'd used previously with Owl City's "Shooting Star," which played my ass out of the theater after enduring ESCAPE FROM PLANET EARTH.
I still think EPIC looks like fun and very well may be one of the better animated films of the year, but this marketing shift sells the previous trailers down the river. This new trailer is supposed to play in from of Dreamworks' THE CROODS this weekend, so I'm sure they're trying to capitalize on the squealing youngsters who fall under a trance whenever slapstick antics play out with an Owl City soundtrack. I get it. But, I don't have to like it.
Take a look:
Here's the synopsis:
A teenager finds herself transported to a deep forest setting where a battle between the forces of good and the forces of evil is taking place. She bands together with a rag-tag group characters in order to save their world -- and ours.
EPIC is slated to hit theaters in 3D on May 24, 2013.

The people who are practicing law in Brazil need to make sure that they are doing things the right way and that they are going to be able to make things better for their clients. They know that they will be able to give people the service that they need when they are in different situations and they work very hard to get to the point where they are able to help people out. After lawyers have been able to pass the tests that they need to make sure that they are able to practice, they do what they can to help other people out with the issues that they have in different areas. They can provide them help with criminal and civil suits. They can also provide them with the experiences that they need when they are hoping for advice in the different areas of their businesses and read full article.
All of this is something that people must go to school for over five years to be able to legally do in Brazil. There are many different things that people can do to make sure that they are getting the legal service that is necessary in their field but it is also something that has brought a lot of opportunities to the people who are in those areas. It is something that has made lawyers turn away from working in Brazil but also something that has made Brazilian lawyers enjoy the fact that they are working so much more now than when they used to be able to try different things and what Ricardo knows.
Ricardo Tosto has always been confident in his abilities. He tries to make sure that he is helping people and he always does different things to give the opportunities that his clients need. He is now one of the top lawyers in Brazil and he has helped some of the biggest names in the country. Ricardo Tosto worked hard to get to this point but he also knew that he had to try different things so that he would be able to try new things and show his clients the opportunities they needed and Ricardo's lacrosse camp.

I've always been a proud Indian, I 've loved India, I still do. Here is something I've noticed: every now and then, some video I watch intensifies this love. There's something about them that gives me a feeling of belongingness to India. An emotional ingredient in such videos inspires me. It makes me glad I belong here. It gives me a sense of pride. It makes me smile to myself in genuine happiness.
It happens all the time; there is this sudden surge of patriotic emotions when I watch one of these Incredible India videos on YouTube. The music that goes with the video, the peace it gives, it is inspiring.
Is it just me, or does looking at India on screen, make it more beautiful?
Reading that India is the biggest democracy and that it's got the second biggest something or the third biggest something else is not what I'm talking about. Nor is it the claims that, credit goes to India for the first wireless system and the concepts of surgery or the several others of this sort. It's not such facts or statistics. I'm talking about the essence of life, that you can just feel, watching these videos.
It's not just such videos. The other day I was cosying on the couch, flipping through the countless tv channels, grumbling about how monotonous the hols had become. I caught a glimpse of something that seemed familiar, I went back to it. It was As I passed Travel and Living- some show featuring the streets ofChennai, hosted by Meera Vasudevan, an actor and model. I went on to watch the show- An Indian Rendezvous- for more than an hour. The show, showed me Chennai in a different perspective, made me see what I see every day, differently. I don't know why India on screen seems way more awesome, but I did give it some thought.
Some post-tvshow reflection, made me realize I miss out on the li'l, yet beautiful things that the show accentuated on, in real life. Time becomes too important a factor, for any to be left, for the small things that go unnoticed. The time I spent on hindsight told me I don't take that extra second to look at the street side idli shop, or the throng of li'l kids playing cricket on the roads. I don't even realize it when the resonant sound of temple bells ringing or the echoes of the evening namaz, fill the air. I'm just too worked up with seemingly important, but in point of fact, trivial things, to perceive the common, minute, but enchanting entities around.
My reasoning might not be perfect, nevertheless, the India I see on screen, is a different one from the one I see everyday.
