[Review] Istari Lasterfahrer – The System Works Because You Work
Istari Lasterfahrer has been doing his thing since the early 90's and you can really feel the influence of that era on this, his first real full length album. Put gabber, early rave and early jungle in a blender, puree, add some guitar samples for garnishment and serve with a side of chiptune and this is what you'll get.
There are way too many good tracks on here to do a play by play, but just know that this album is the doggie's hangers. Amazingly, I can't really find a track on here that I can say I don't like, no joke. For the most part, everything on here is very mixable and on a fun, happy vibe. Favorite tracks? 'Get Slick Like Hardcore Shit' for it's "All ya other DJ's all a buncha jerks" sample fuckery. 'MDMA' for being possibly the best intro piece ever for a rave set, basically a ditzy girl describing her first MDMA experience with various delays and pitching effects over it. But the best track on here has got to be 'Break Of Dawning.' It starts with piano and the standard amens and then in comes a guitar sample that instantly reminded me of the one in Aaron Spectre's 'You Don't Know.' Then a female vocal saying something about "I'm shakin my ass till the early mornin" drops into the mix and is pitched up gradually, really driving things to a peak. All of the elements just work together perfectly and make up a track that could be weaved in and out to drive a dancefloor crazy. A real 4am kind of track.
So if you're a fan of Istari's past material, you'll like this. Just think of it as the crown jewel in his catalog. And if his stuff is foreign to you but you like fun, ravey music, start here and work your way back. To put it simply, just run out and buy it!
I picked up my copy from Anthem Records in the U.S., but I'm not sure if they have any more. If not, you can purchase from the label or over at Praxis.

A target will create A swing. I content that the correct target will build a free flowing and very natural swing. If your intention is to freely throw the club out to the real target (through the golf ball), we will naturally flow into fully rotated, relaxed balance onto our forward pivotal axis. We will naturally hit a small draw due the circular motion of the throw.
BALANCE, IMPACT, and BALL FLIGHT control can be a natural progression as you train towards the correct target (DO NOT STEER OR GUIDE TO THAT TARGET!).
Here's the hierarchy. Without the correct TARGET, you can never create a natural and physics compliant swing. Without fully rotated, relaxed BALANCE around the forward pivotal axis, the skill of IMPACT will always be conditional to coordination, compensation, and luck. Without a high skill of IMPACT, BALL FLIGHT control is all but impossible.
You see, TARGET and BALANCE are the platform from which IMPACT and BALL FLIGHT can build and improve.
Most golfers focus on IMPACT and BALL FLIGHT while they train, almost guaranteeing that they change their TARGET in response…. A change in TARGET, by definition, changes the swing and therefore changes the balance position at the end of the swing. So by focusing on "fixing" your last shot, you most likely destroy your chances of building a physics compliant swing!!!
Here's what I strongly suggest. On every swing, set up to the REAL TARGET and intend on swinging through the ball and out to that TARGET. Really notice whether you freely swung out there, or if you felt yourself steering, guiding, or trying to strike at the ball….. This can teach you a ton if you are honest!
Next, as a result of the free swing out to the TARGET, really pay attention to your BALANCE at the end of the swing. Were you fully turned? Was all your weight on the forward leg? Were you relaxed and balanced? This is far more critical to the long term improvement of your game than the results of your shot based on IMPACT and BALL FLIGHT!
The challenge is to not let the emotional drama of a bad shot get in the way of MASTERING the first two essentials!

Cushman & Wakefield Hired to Sell Former Saint Paul Public Schools Building
Saint Paul Public Schools has hired Cushman & Wakefield to facilitate a sale of the former Riverside Elementary school building at 900 Albion Avenue in St. Paul.
The team of Paul Donovan, Jaclyn May and Jeremy Striffler will list the property for sale, with the most likely outcome a thoughtful redevelopment of the 5.4-acre site. The site is guided for mixed-use, as part of the West Seventh Street transit corridor, and is also part of the popular Highland neighborhood and a short drive from the St. Paul Central Business District.
"There are a lot of great things happening on West Seventh," said Tom Parent, Director of Facilities for Saint Paul Public Schools. "But this property isn't part of the school district's strategic needs for the next decade, and the resources that go into it are better utilized in supporting our 71 other sites.
The West Seventh Street and Highland Park areas have been magnets for new multifamily, hospitality and retail development and redevelopment during the past decade. Nearby Shepard Road and West Seventh are popular corridors for mixed-use multifamily housing. Positioned on the southwest quadrant of Seventh Street and Interstate 35E, the location provides easy access to the downtown St. Paul core, as well as the Mall of America and Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport.

Long after Home Improvement said its last goodbye, Alliant Energy's own home improvement show is still going strong. Well into its 13th season, PowerHouse continues to provide viewers with ways to improve the energy efficiency, safety and comfort of their homes.

Experiencia de Inmersión en Inmigración 2019
August 10 – August 18, 2019
June 17, 2016
In April, the resource group Red Crearte held a meeting at the headquarters of the Escola Superior de Teologia (Higher School of Theology-EST) in Sao Leopoldo, Brazil. The purpose of the meeting was to create ecumenical resources from Latin America to accompany the celebrations surrounding the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation.
Grace and justice were the themes used by the group in creating the prayers, affirmations of faith, litanies, selection of biblical texts and songs. The resources were also connected issues that are challenging to the churches, such as climate justice, human rights, forced migration and human trafficking, among others.
People from Colombia, Mexico and Argentina participated, with a great number from Brazil. The presence of a group of young students of theology gave a much-needed freshness to these spaces of collective creation.
This meeting was also an opportunity to start formally a sort of "headquarters" for Red Crearte in Brazil. From these headquarters its leaders will encourage meetings for creation and training. Louis Marcelo Illenseer will coordinate these, with valuable cooperation from the Escola Superior de Teologia, in the person of Dr. Julio Cezar Adam and the Center for Liturgical Resources at EST.
The resources produced at this meeting, and during a subsequent meeting at the headquarters in Brazil in July, will be published in a booklet that will be available towards the end of the year, possibly with a compact disc containing the songs that have been created.
Dr. Adam, a leading researcher in the liturgical field and director of Post Graduate Studies at EST, stressed the importance of the event and expressed the desire to promote more meetings like this, where creative-formative experiences can generate not only liturgical and musical resources, but also necessary spaces for reflection on the spirituality and liturgical work of faith communities in Latin America.
All of these resources will have an English translation, which will open the doors to its use in other contexts besides Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking churches.
Red Crearte has enjoyed the cooperation of a number of organizations to make this meeting possible, as well as the translation, dissemination and publication of resources. They are: BPFNA ~ Bautistas por la Paz, the Calvin Institute for Christian Worship, CETELA, the Evangelische Kirche in Deutschland, the Alliance of Presbyterian and Reformed Churches in Latin America, the Zentrum für Mission und Ökumene—weltweit Nordkirche and the Escola Superior de Teologia.
Red Crearte was born in 2004 to provide a free, multilingual and open space to share religious resources. It continues to work for churches and faith-based bodies in the Americas and the whole world. The services include advising, proposals for training communities, accompanying events and creating resources for thematic or special occasions.

I woke up this morning at around 8:30, and couldn't get back to sleep cause I was so cold… turns out it gets ridiculously nippy in Wyoming. I turned on the car (and the heater) and drove to the next gas station. I wasn't fully awake, nor did I realize that everyone was wearing full jeans and flannel jackets, and that I was the only one in basketball shorts and a t-shirt when I walked into the diner.
It was sort of like a weird western, or maybe a movie like Fargo, where everyone is eating in the small little diner and someone "different" walks in. I'd be that man playing the "Different" card, and while I didn't make eye contact with any of the truckers, I could feel the looks from behind their ZZ Top style beards. I stumbled towards the restroom, and came out looking for some bottled water when the lady behind the register loudly asked me, "SO… You gotta tell me about this purple teddy bear tattoo." I was literally across the gas station… so once again, I felt incredibly uncomfortable. I let her know the story of how my best friend wanted to get matching tattoos, and I thought that was weird, and told him I'd get a purple teddy bear in order to watch him get one. He didn't believe me, so when I did… he was upset. She laughed, then started showing me hers, and let me know that she usually fell asleep during the tattoos and woke up and they were done. (uh… what?)
I walked out of the gas station, got into my car, and shivered at how awkwardly that stop had gone. The 20 degree weather continued all the way until around noon, when I hit colorado.
As I was tweeting the one liners that I had been thinking up about Wyoming, (Like, how it should be named, "DearGodWhyoming") I heard Colin Cowherd announce that Bobby Valentine had been fired from the Red Sox. I immediately starting putting on sox gear and singing "Sweet Caroline" at the top of my lungs! 🙂 Allow me to explain for those of you that don't care about baseball.
The Red Sox had a TERRIBLE collapse last year. (One of the worst in sports history.) The media BLASTED the team for drinking and eating fried chicken in the clubhouse during games, and ultimately, Terry Francona (The coach), and Theo Epstein (The Front Office) were let go/decided to leave. This was DEVASTATING for me, because these men had helped us win our first World Series in 2003, and then again a few years later. It was like watching a part of my favorite years of sports be thrown away. THEN, the Sox hired Valentine.
I had heard Valentine on ESPN regularly, and with the exception of Mark Schlereth, there are not many people who I openly disagree with more. He would give "theoretical analysis" on games that was SO FAR out of left field, that I'd smack my head and say, "REALLY???" at the TV. The guy was a knucklehead. Every time he talked I felt like I was getting dumber. When I heard he was our new coach. I shook my head. "This is going to be a rough season." I posted a picture of a text I sent today on instagram from the beginning of the season, predicting that this year was gonna be rough. (I remember Boston Rob defending him when we were drafting fantasy baseball teams this year… but I'm not gonna put him on blast… or did I just do that???) So when Valentine was fired today, after leading the sox to the WORST SEASON they have had in YEARS- (68 wins 90something losses) I was STOKED! He ran out one of my favorite players, Kevin Youkilis, who is now with the Chicago White Sox, and regularly made us sound dumber than I thought was humanly possible…. Anyways… good riddance. It's football season anyways… 😛
I decided to get a hotel room in Colorado Springs and slept from 1:00- 5:30. I got to the gig, and I want you guys to know, I hope to be able to play at Jive's EVERY TIME I play Colorado Springs. This place was so incredibly inviting, and friendly, and I think I talked to people for another 2 hours after my set was done. (Even though I felt completely out of breath… this elevation is no joke!!!) I got to see so many dear friends tonight, and had a blast.
Well, I have the day off tomorrow, so I'm going to drive through Nebraska most of the day and try to get as close to Chicago as I can. If you haven't gotten your tickets to the show with Andy Grammer, I hope you do!
All of my heart is yours.

The Iguanodon was the second ever dinosaur to be named . The name Iguanadon means Iguana teeth because its teeth look exactly like an iguanas tooth which is like a big lizard.
An Iguanodon had four clawed fingers with a big spiky thumb. It could bend its little finger across its hand to help it hold onto things, such as twigs and leaves. This dinosaur could have used its thumb spike like a dagger to defend itself from meat eating dinosaurs known as carnivores or omnivores.
An Iguanodon was a big animal with a long stiff tail . It had a long head like a horse and its jaws were filled with lots of sharp teeth.
Iguanodon facts:
lived 130 million years ago
fossils found in Asia Europe North America
was 10 metres tall
this dinosaur could walk up right on its hind legs or all four it could run up to 10 miles per hour. Using the strong beak at the front of its mouth Iguanodon bit of leaves and twigs to eat. It chewed its food for a long time until it was a mushy pulp.

I've been on the strict diet/cleanse for a week. I had only veggie juice for 3 days and switched to eggs and veggies the past 5 days. I'm an active person and have some swim races coming up, but obviously I can't really compete with all this going on. But I've been able to do 1/2 hr of something most days up until today. After my swim this morning I really crashed. I know I need to get something else into my body but I'm not sure what. Buckwheat? Sardines? Both? More than 2 eggs a day give me headaches so I'm wondering if I shouldn't stop the eggs as well.
Also yesterday I picked up some BCAA hoping it would help. I used it yesterday and this morning. It gives me gas so I'm wondering if its feeding the candida. And I'm wondering if it's part of why I feel this rotten. It seems different than the usual die-off rotten.
Any suggestions???
Thanks!!!!June 20, 2012 at 8:45 am #85017
rasterParticipantTopics: 104Replies: 6838
The cleanse isn't meant to be done long term; it won't even come close to killing off all of the candida in the body. I would consider starting phase 1 of the diet when you are ready…
I also would not do any kind of strenuous activity for a few months until you can get your "legs underneath you." Fighting candida is very taxing to the immune system and the last thing you need is to suppress it even more by participating in strenuous activity. If you do "have to" do physical activity, I certainly would not do it while on the cleanse which is very taxing in itself.
When you do start phase 1, I would look at trying out my teff bread recipe for some energy. Buckwheat and oat bran are other good sources of energy. I would also eat 2 salads or more a day if possible.

I am going to make a bet with you, if that's OK. I am going to bet that: you like the television show Stranger Things.
I am going to bet under 10 quid on it, but I am going to bet it all the same. I will make a killing off this, I am excited.
This is because everybody loves Stranger Things, and as a result, all of a sudden everyone likes retro horror stuff about missing kids - do you reckon It would have done so well without Stranger Things? No, it wouldn't, I guarantee it.
So what's your next horror obsession? What's your next creepy Netflix series about a missing child? Your next binge-addiction that deals with a specific time period?
Well, it's Dark, and you're going to love it. Watch the spoooooooky trailer below:
In fear of ruining anything, I'll keep the plot synopsis rather brief: children go missing and four families have to work out the truth, but obviously, all is not what it seems. It's gonna get all twisty and turny, and it looks to also get a bit sci-fi and supernatural (like all the best stuff). We haven't seen it yet, so can't confirm, but that trailer certainly gives you the impression that it's gonna get weird up in here.
It's coming straight from Germany and the producers behind the acclaimed 2006 drama The Lives Of Others, so it's not a bunch of amateurs behind this one, thank goodness. Colour us excited. Colour us extremely excited.
Good old Netflix, what would we do without you? We would have friends, that's what we would do. Thank you for getting rid of them for us.

When Harry met Harry
It was a case of "When Harry Met Harry" when Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan's visit to New Zealand kicked off with an adorable exchange yesterday.
In the crowd, waiting for a glimpse of the royal couple who were visiting Pukeahu National War Memorial in Wellington to lay wreaths, was a ginger-haired seven-year-old holding up a sign painted in bright green, which read, "Hi Harry, I'm Harry."
There was more than a passing resemblance as the Duke of Sussex stopped to greet young Harry who was sporting a vibrant blue bow tie at the front of the reported 5000-strong crowd gathered behind barricades. According to the Daily Mail, the Prince went as far as to say that the boy was the "best dressed man here".
The little Harry told the Otago Daily Times that the Prince noted they had the same colour hair and praised his bow tie.
"He said, 'I like your bow tie and you're a redhead too.' He asked if I painted the sign and how old I was," he said.
Nicola Smith, Harry's mum, said that the 34-year-old royal was "really chatty to us and spent time speaking to us," and that her love of the Royals had "rubbed off" on her son.
When asked by the publication if it had been worth the journey to Wellington from the Kapiti Coast for a chance to see the royals, the little Harry was unequivocal, saying "Yup, definitely."

Photographer Profile: POCO.CN
China Calling...
So I received an email one morning via the contact me page on my website and at first glance it looks like spam. Before I hit the delete key I read it and see that an editor from a Chinese website called POCO.CN is contacting me to ask about doing and interview and a profile. Hmmm...still seems like spam, but I figure cannot hurt to reply and see who might be on the other end of the email.
Well it turns out the email was not spam. It was the real deal, and I was asked if I would be interested in doing an interview and supplying a collection of my underwater images for publication on a Chinese photography website. Sure. Why not?
So it took a bit of back-and-forth for the questions and my replies and the revisions and the edits...not to mention I had two photo workshops that I was running in Socorro, Mexico, then another in Anilao, Philippines...but once it was all said and done, the profile went live. Have a look for yourself...I hope you like it.
I had a great time working with the team at POCO.CN, and cannot thank them enough for posting the profile and my images.

The Orphan's Ticket Home Gala was Saturday night and it was such a great night. The event was very well done, music was nice but my favorite was a tie between Tom Davis' talk and Aster's talk. Tom Davis has written several books, is an adoptive dad and had a great message about how all 143 million orphans are God's children and that he loves them so much and he expects us to do whatever we can to help them, love them and save them.
He gave an example that if one of our children went missing, not only would we no longer throw away the mailers that say "Have you seen me?" but that he bet there was nothing we wouldn't do to save our child. We would be on every radio and TV station, we would sell all our possessions, we would do what ever it takes to bring our sweet child home. This is how God feels about his children who are suffering and he is waiting for us to do something about it. God gave us free will but his heart's desire is for all of us that know and love him to love the least of these.
There are so many good causes and God calls us to be champions for different causes but He is very clear that we are all to care for the orphans, widows and strangers.... That may not mean to adopt yourself but it is clear that we are all to do something.
My sweet sister went to the Gala to support me in my adoption and she also gave to support the Orphan's Ticket Home. She is an incredibly giving person and I am lucky to have her as my sister and friend. Love you Christy.......................

KAP Sani2C more than a Mountain Bike Stage Race
We met Glen Haw at the ABSA Cape Epic, after six stages of the Epic we bumped into a still very chirpy and fresh looking Farmer Glen. Over breakfast we chatted about the KAP Sani2C, the Cape Epic and stage racing in general in South Africa. KAP Sani2C is synonymous with mountain biking, in fact it is one of those stage races which you "have to have done or it is on your bucket list". As mountain bikers we often focus on our own experiences and rewards we gain from a race. As our conversation unfolded Glen' s passion for social entrepreneurship, creating jobs and changing lives across rural KwaZulu Natal became increasingly evident. Maintaining and growing the commitment to the communities who create trails and contribute to the KAP Sani2C stage race underpinned a lot of his thought patterns. KAP Sani2c more than a mountain bike stage race.
KAP Sani2c more than a mountain bike stage race
Every year the KAP Sani2C team innovate, offering new riders experiences both on the trail and also in the rider village. The KAP Sani2c will be 15 years old in 2019, and while it is one of the oldest mountain bike stage races in South Africa, it has also become the largest, with around 4200 riders enjoying three days of flowing trails from Himeville in the southern Drakensberg down to Scottburgh on the KZN south coast. The 2018 event saw R 10 million spent on services, provided by volunteers in aid of their schools and NGOs. For the Haw family, this legacy is as important as providing the best 3 days of riding that a mountain biker can ask for. What the Haw family has created in KAP Sani2C stands as an example of community social entrepreneurship and business excellence. It also demonstrates just what can be achieved when you harness the power of a community to the benefit of all.
So if you are still wondering whether to enter the 15th edition of the KAP Sani2C, stop right now, ENTER IT cause you will be guaranteed of an amazing rider experience and you will be contributing the thousands of community members who are intimately invested in the KAP Sani2C.

Lack of Hydroxyproline O-Arabinosyltransferases Does Not Cause Over Deposition of Cellulose in the Moss Physcomitrella patens
Gribbin, William T.
MetadataShow full item record
The plant cell wall is a highly dynamic structure necessary for structural stability in the plant cell. Hydroxyproline O-Arabinosyltransferase (hpat) are genes which code for the proteins responsible for the arabinosylation of extensins and Leucine Rich Repeat Extensins (LRX). In higher plants, extensins are vital in cell wall development and structure and in both higher and basal plants, LRX's are important for cell wall development. Our lab had previously generated an hpata/hpatb double knockout mutant (AB5) of P. patens, and noted its enhanced growth rate and colony size over wildtype. The larger growth phenotype indicated that the cell wall may have been modified in the mutant. We hypothesized that the cellulose may have been acting in a compensatory manner because LRX's are associated with cell wall stability. Additionally, we sought to create a timeline of cell wall regeneration in P. patens protoplast. We generated protoplasts of P. patens by digesting cell walls with driselase and then we monitored cell wall regeneration via fluorescence microscopy. Protoplasts were also treated with a hypotonic buffer at regular intervals into regeneration and observed for colony formation. I found that there was no difference in the level of cellulose deposited in AB5 line regenerating protoplasts and wildtype. I also found that wildtype protoplasts treated with hypotonic buffer showed enhanced branching and malformed cells. Observation of protoplast recovery from hypoosmotic bursting treatment proved to be too insensitive for meaningful analysis. Cell wall regeneration proved to be a highly variable process for regenerating protoplasts. In the future, a more sensitive method of quantifying viability of protoplasts is recommended.

Feb 1, 2014 :)
Posted by Taylor Grace on Saturday, February 1, 2014
I want to use this blog space more often. I am deciding today to start a daily entry. :-D Maybe these posts in the beginning will seem systematic/dis-jointed/random, but that's part of blogging, right?! Getting in a conversation with my would-be readers and hope I made it at least mildly entertaining for them! How am I doing so far? ;-)
I've got so much in my head that we could talk about! Well, I guess it is more me doing all the talking. but I'll keep it real, you know... Maybe, once I get myself rolling with this blog, I could expand into another medium, like radio! But for now I'm blogging. Babbling... Bab-blog-ing? Whatever the creation and evolution of this will be, I'm all in!
This will be a new adventure for me... like automatic writing to just get in the rhythm of typing my thought flow... I don't want this space to turn soap-boxy, though. I guess I'll need regular readers to give me feedback. hmmm... I want to acknowledge that this thought-flow style to this has a ton of healing properties that I'm already noticing. And I'll type faster, too!
I am looking forward to doing this everyday!

Charlie Paige has helped the Clitheroe-based Green Jersey Race Team has start the summer season with a flurry of success at a number of prestigious national events in the cycle racing calendar.
Charlie, who attends Bowland High School, is a member of the under 16 team, along with Isaac Peatfield and Benjamin Peatfield from Bolton, Bobby Horton from Lancaster and Joe Law from Doncaster.
The lads, who have been training together throughout the winter, participated in the Dolan Youth Series in Southport, which consisted of six races over three weekends in March.
They fought hard against a tough field of riders and enjoyed overall success, with Charlie winning Stage 1 and Isaac and Benjamin both winning the Yellow Jersey in the series in their respective age groups.
The team's luck took a temporary wobble a few weeks later when they competed in The Youth Tour of Scotland, a four-stage national race in Perth.
Early in the first road stage, there was a serious crash which took out Isaac and Bobby, leaving the team sixth at the end of the day. The next day, the lads battled on to win Stage two and positioned fourth in the overall tour.
The team also competed in The Isle of Man Youth Tour at the beginning of May, a three-stage national race over 3 days with the top 80 riders from across the UK.
The boys worked well together during Stage 2 to secure Isaac another Yellow Jersey win, and came away with top 20 individual general classifications.
Then the team competed in the TLI National Championships at Oulton Park Motor Racing Track; Charlie winning bronze and Joe silver.
Team manager Richard Paige from The Green Jersey Bike Shop in Clitheroe said: "We're all incredibly proud of the boys who have a great team spirit; they train hard, race hard and enjoy a lot of team banter! "
Over the next few weeks the boys will be focusing on their GCSE exams, although they will be taking a break from revision this weekend to race in the Northwest Youth Tour in Lancaster, another national three-day event.
Once exams are over the team will travel to Donegal in August to compete in the international Youth Tour of Ireland.

WASHINGTON (REUTERS) - Reversing course from his campaign pledges, President Donald Trump on Monday night (Aug 21) committed the United States to an open-ended conflict in Afghanistan, signaling he would dispatch more troops to America's longest war and vowing "a fight to win."
In a speech offering few specifics, Trump promised a stepped-up military campaign against Taleban insurgents who have gained ground against the US-backed Afghan government and he singled out Pakistan for harbouring militants.
"We are not nation-building again. We are killing terrorists," he said in a prime-time televised address at a military base outside Washington.
Trump ran for the US presidency calling for a swift US withdrawal from Afghanistan, and he acknowledged on Monday that he was going against his instincts in approving the new campaign plan sought by his military advisers.
"The consequences of a rapid exit are both predictable and unacceptable," he said. "A hasty withdrawal would create a vacuum that terrorists, including ISIS and Al-Qaeda, would instantly fill."
The Republican president, who has criticised his predecessors for setting deadlines for drawing down troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, declined to put a time line on expanded US military operations in Afghanistan.
Trump now inherits the same challenges as predecessors George W. Bush and Barack Obama, including a stubborn Taleban insurgency and a weak, divided government in Kabul. He is laying the groundwork for greater US involvement without a clear end in sight or providing specific benchmarks for success.
US officials said he had signed off on Defence Secretary James Mattis' plans to send about 4,000 more troops to add to the roughly 8,400 now deployed in Afghanistan.
Mattis said he had directed the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to carry out the strategy and that he would be consulting with Nato and US allies, several of which had also committed to increasing troops.
Trump warned that US support "is not a blank check," and insisted he would not engage in "nation-building," a practice he has accused his predecessors of doing at huge cost.
Through the speech, Trump insisted that others – the Afghan government, Pakistan, India and Nato allies – step up their own commitment to resolving the 16-year conflict.
Trump saved his sharpest words for Pakistan. "We can no longer be silent about Pakistan's safe havens," Trump said. "Pakistan has much to gain from partnering with our effort in Afghanistan. It has much to lose by continuing to harbor terrorists."
Senior US officials warned he could reduce security assistance for Pakistan unless the nuclear-armed nation cooperates more in preventing militants from using safe havens on its soil.
A Pakistani army spokesman said on Monday that Pakistan had taken action against all Islamist militants including the Haqqani network, which is allied to Afghan Taleban insurgents.
"There are no terrorist hideouts in Pakistan. We have operated against all terrorists, including (the) Haqqani network," spokesman Major General Asif Ghafoor told a media briefing in Islamabad.
Obama also took Pakistan to task for supporting militants, and sent Navy SEALs into the country to kill Al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden. It remains to be seen if Trump's rhetoric will change Pakistan's calculations in Afghanistan, which it sees as a vital strategic interest.
Trump expanded the US military's authority for American armed forces to target militant and criminal networks. He said that US enemies in Afghanistan "need to know they have nowhere to hide – that no place is beyond the reach of American arms." "Our troops will fight to win," he added.
A US-led coalition invaded Afghanistan and overthrew the Islamist Taleban government for harbouring Al-Qaeda militants who plotted the Sept 11 attacks. But US forces have remained bogged down there through the presidencies of Bush, Obama and now Trump.
About 2,400 US forces have died in Afghanistan since the invasion.
The speech came after a months-long review of US policy in which Trump frequently tangled with his top advisers on the future of US involvement in Afghanistan, where Taleban insurgents have been making territorial gains.
US military and intelligence officials are concerned that a Taleban victory over Afghan President Ashraf Ghani's government would allow Al-Qaeda and the ISIS regional affiliate to establish bases in Afghanistan from which to plot attacks against the United States and its allies.
"The unfortunate truth is that this strategy is long overdue and in the interim the Taleban has made dangerous inroads," said senior Republican Senator John McCain, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee.
Senator Jack Reed, senior Democrat on the committee, criticised what he called a speech short on details. "President Trump now recognises the need to stabilise the situation and assist the government of Afghanistan to regain momentum. But he was very vague," Reed said.
Trump suggested he was hoping for eventual peace talks, and said it might be possible to have a political settlement with elements of the Taleban. "But nobody knows if or when that will ever happen," he said.
In a statement, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said: "We stand ready to support peace talks between the Afghan government and the Taleban without preconditions."
Trump overcame his own skepticism about the war that began in October 2001. He said repeatedly on the campaign trail last year that the war was too costly in lives and money. "My original instinct was to pull out," he said in his speech, but added he was convinced by his national security advisers to strengthen the U.S. ability to prevent the Taliban from ousting the government in Kabul.
Trump's speech came as the president tries to rebound after he was engulfed in controversy for saying both sides were to blame for violence between white supremacists and counter-protesters in Charlottesville, Virginia, earlier this month.
In an allusion to the Charlottesville uproar, Trump said:"We cannot remain a force for peace in the world if we are not at peace with each other."
US commanders have long planned for a possible shift in resources from Iraq to Afghanistan as the fight against ISIS comes off its peak, following gains made in the Iraqi city of Mosul and other areas.
One reason the White House decision took so long, two officials who participated in the discussions said on Sunday, is that it was difficult to get Trump to accept the need for a broader regional strategy that included US policy toward Pakistan.
Trump received a wide range of conflicting options, the officials said.
White House national security adviser H.R. McMaster and other advisers favoured accepting a request for an 4,000 additional U.S. forces.
But recently ousted White House strategic adviser Steve Bannon had argued for the withdrawal of all US forces, saying the war was still not winnable, US officials said. Bannon was fired on Friday by Trump.
Breitbart News, the hard-right news site to which Bannon has returned as executive chairman, said on its home page that Trump "reverses course" and "defends flip-flop in somber speech."

NEW YORK, N.Y. – Franklin & Marshall's Division I wrestling team battled Hofstra in the early stages of Sunday's road dual against Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association (EIWA) opponent Hofstra, but ultimately fell short by a 30-6 score.
The Diplomats dropped to 0-1, 0-1 EIWA with the defeat while the Pride now sit at 1-0, 1-0 EIWA.
Starting at 197, Hofstra opened with a narrow 7-4 decision and followed with a pin at 285 by Mike Hughes, who is ranked No. 8 in the nation, to go ahead by an early 9-0 score. F&M began to mount a comeback with a thrilling 9-1 win from Edgar Garcia in the first sudden victory period to pull within six.
Garcia forced the extra period with a reverse and a takedown in the third and then picked up his second takedown of the bout in sudden victory.
Dan Martoccio carried a 5-3 lead into the third period of his 133-pound match but eventually fell short by a 6-5 score, before Brett Kulp earned his first-career dual victory with a 4-2 win in the opening sudden victory period. Kulp recorded a third-period escape to even the score in the third, and then notched his first takedown of the match in sudden victory to secure the win.
Cole Aaron also forced sudden victory at 149 pounds but fell short after suffering a takedown in the first overtime, as Hofstra rattled off wins in each of the last five matchups to earn the victory.
The Diplomats travel to Binghamton's Bearcat Open next Sunday. The tournament is set to begin at 9:00 a.m.

Walk - Constantine Bay to Mawgan Porth
7.0 miles (11.3 km)
Constantine Bay - PL28 8JJ Mawgan Porth - TR8 4BA
Moderate - This walk is fairly level, with only a couple of hills to ascend. As the 556 bus service runs along this section of coast it is easy to extend or shorten the walk.
Catch the bus and walk back past the iconic rock formations at Bedruthan Steps. There are dramatic cliffs and headlands, and the remains of a prehistoric cliff fort. There are also sandy beaches that children will enjoy. This is a good walk in autumn, when the stubble in the clifftop fields provides rich pickings for the migrant pipits and buntings. If you are lucky you might spot a merlin hunting them overhead; and at low tide you may even see seals around Trethias.
This walk is particularly good for dogs as it passes a number of beaches and a pub where dogs are welcome. Have a look at our Top Dog Walks on the South West Coast Path for more dog friendly beaches and pubs.

While he was accepted to Harvard Business School and the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business, Jim had the good sense to choose The University of Texas as the place he wanted to earn his MBA. Jim valued his experiences at The University of Texas Graduate School of Business (now the McCombs School) and excelled in business throughout his life. His banking career began at Morgan Guaranty Trust Company in New York, after which he had a career at First City National Bank in Houston. Jim was then chairman of Houston Trust Company, which he founded in 1992.
Along with a successful business career, Jim sat on the boards of many civic and cultural organizations. Jim acted as director of many boards and always helped steer the organizations in their financial matters. He served at St. Luke's Methodist Church for several years on the Board of Stewards. He also made significant contributions to the civic, business, and cultural life of Houston. He served as trustee or director of numerous organizations including: Texas Children's Hospital (chairman), Methodist Hospital, Baylor College of Medicine, St. John's School (chairman), Houston Parks Board (chairman), Salvation Army, Trees for Houston, Rice University, Houston Zoo, Houston Museum of Natural Science, Center for Houston's Future, Children's Museum of Houston, and the Wortham Foundation.
James A. Elkins, III
Jim was married to Jenny Arnold Elkins for 25 years. Together they had seven children: Margaret Wiess Elkins, James Anderson Elkins, IV, Buck Arnold Elkins, John Caldwell Elkins, Harry Carothers Elkins, Samuel Hill Elkins, and Lucy Gray Elkins.
Former Mayor Bill White says, "Elkins' death leaves a large hole in Houston's civic leadership. He was at the epicenter of what some call 'old Houston,' and he embraced those relative newcomers, including me, based not on pedigree but willingness to serve. Thoroughly Texan, he never affected the manner of an urban cowboy. In an age of indulgence, he was always measured. All civic leaders trusted his judgment and confidence."
"He was one of the most remarkable individuals I've ever known," says Joe Dilg, who first met Elkins while they were at UT, "especially how he gave himself to others through giving to the community. He was a truly wonderful husband, father, and friend."

Marco Arment has a much more positive spin on the opportunity provided by Apple's root-and-branch redesign:
Apple has set fire to iOS. Everything's in flux. Those with the least to lose have the most to gain, because this fall, hundreds of millions of people will start demanding apps for a platform with thousands of old, stale players and not many new, nimble alternatives. If you want to enter a category that's crowded on iOS 6, and you're one of the few that exclusively targets iOS 7, your app can look better, work better, and be faster and cheaper to develop than most competing apps.
I'm with Marco. The iOS project I'm working on is going to be reconsidered in light of iOS 7, and not a moment too soon. When the iPad version lands I'm installing the beta on a development device.

Boise Open Studios Collective Organization (BOSCO), a group of local artists who join together to provide a professional network to one another, helps to bridge the gap between artists and the general public. One of the biggest, and best, ways BOSCO goes about this is with their open studios weekends, one of which was this past Saturday and Sunday.
Jerry Hendershot's spacious pottery studio is in the back of his home. When we walked in, Jerry was throwing a vase-like vessel on his wheel to give a visual representation of questions he was answering about building pots from a local high school art teacher. Various pieces of Hendershot's earthy works were displayed and for sale for quite reasonable prices — large glossy bowls were around $30 and hefty coffee mugs that hug the hand for $15. Hendershot teaches classes and workshops around town and out of his studio. He showed my young daughters how to cut a hunk of clay and gave them each a piece to squish around and mold in their tiny hands. "Bring the girls by some afternoon and I'll get them on the wheel," Hendershot offered as we left. I might just take him up on it.
Located on the Bench behind her 1940s clinker-brick cottage, Lisa Cheney-Jorgensen's studio is a tiny room chock full of inspirational tchotkes and surrounded by lush gardens bursting with their fall harvest. A brightly-colored vintage metal patio set welcomed us with cookies and cider, and Cheney-Jorgensen made us feel right at home, inviting the girls to pick all the raspberries they could eat from her bulging bushes. A graphic designer by trade, Cheney-Jorgensen is also a printmaker, painter, and illustrator. She's become recently enamored with creating 'visual journals,' which are basically painstakingly hand-crafted books filled with drawings, collages, paintings, and written words about simple events in your daily life, like deciding on a Halloween costume. Her visual journals are so masterful, lovely, intricate that they've been recently included in a book on the subject and she's preparing to teach two upcoming workshops in Seattle on creating these books.
Painter Judy Deam's home and studio on Rose Hill was marked by a yellow vintage car with giant window painted lettering signaling the way. We side-stepped rain puddles as we made way down her picturesque drive, stopping to peer at a watercolor painting of a queer-looking clown propped up on an easel. A wrought-iron gate opened into a wonderland of a backyard, complete with whimsical accessories, like a giant fish weathervane made from recycled metal to a miniature wooden replica of a retro Airstream travel trailer hanging in a tree. A rainbow of Fiestaware mugs were positioned neatly on a table with hot coffee waiting alongside ginormous chocolately treats, which, of course, after meeting the artist was our next stop. A tent was set up in the yard, a la Saturday Market-style, to display some of Deam's past work — bright watercolor paintings of dogs and cats, some interesting clay panels, and works on canvas. It was her recent series of still-life paintings of her quirky collection of old toys that was the most captivating, however. Her studio building was quaint and well-organized, displaying a wall of paints that we were all mesmerized by and windows perfectly positioned to capture the idyllic natural views of her property. Her lovely landscaping also included an arbor complete with ripe grapes, which we were happy to sample. Judy's husband Dick Deam, also a painter, took us inside the house to show us some of his work, meet their puppies, and even let me ogle their 1930s kitchen restoration, complete with a red formica dinette and glass knobs on the cabinets.
We made our way out through the front yard this time, filled up on the sweetness of BOSCO's tour — both in our bellies and our art-loving souls. If the inspirational eye candy that is an artist's studio isn't enough of a draw to you to BOSCO's open studios weekend, their hospitality, talent, and snacks surely will.

(Archived) Neurohospitalist needed in Athens, GA
Job Description
This health system in a large university town in northeast GA, 70 miles from Atlanta , is seeking a board certified/board eligible Neurologist to practice Hospitalist medicine. The hospitalist will see a broad pathology of neurological patients and physician activities that includes patient care, teaching, research, and leadership related to hospital care. As expected, hospitalists manage patients throughout the continuum of hospital care, often seeing patients in the ER, admitting them to inpatient units, following them as necessary into the critical care unit, and organizing post-acute care and transfer back to their neurologist or primary care physician.
This employed physician will receive a competitive salary based on MGMA guidelines, contractual benefits (including participation in health, disability, and malpractice insurance programs) relocation expenses and educational loan assistance, as well as, office setup and support from the medical center administrative management team.
The hospital is a general medical and surgical hospital with 165 beds. It is also accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF). Survey data for the latest year available shows that 35,965 patients visited the hospital's emergency room. The hospital had a total of 9,094 admissions. Its physicians performed 2,886 inpatient and 7,530 outpatient surgeries.
Nestled below the Blue Ridge Mountains, 70 miles from Atlanta, Athens is a harmony of old and new: wedding-perfect Antebellum architecture, contemporary art and eclectic nightlife, a Victorian-era downtown teeming with funky shops and one of the South's most progressive culinary scenes. You may know it for the University of Georgia and Georgia Bulldogs, the "Classic City of the South" where rich tradition at the heart of a hip college town creates a culture unlike any other.


text: This evening I came home from my first trapeze lesson for a long time with a goofy grin and aching limbs. buzzing. my muscles loose and warm across my back and arms. thoughts of pointed toes and risks and rolls. I did't realise how good I would feel. I didn't realise how much I missed it. and then I see a video of this company from my friend tin. and now I can't stop watching them. why would I? they're so beautifully delicately strong.

The assessment of forest productivity at early stages of stand development may help to define the most appropriate silviculture treatment to be applied for each stand. Site index (dominant height at a reference age) is a useful tool for forest productivity estimation. The aim of this study was to develop a model to predict site index for Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) plantations in northern Spain acidic plateau by using soil (physical, chemical and biochemical), climatic and physiographic parameters. To meet this objective, data from 35 stands classified into three different site quality classes and 63 soil, climatic and physiographic parameters were examined in order to develop a discriminant model. After selecting 12 discriminant models which were biologically consistent and presented the higher cross-validated rate of correct classification, a model including four parameters (latitude, inorganic Al, porosity and microbial biomass carbon) as predictors was chosen. The discriminant model classified 71% of cases correctly and no inferior-quality stands were misassigned to the highest quality class. Soil and physiographic parameters included in the above model are easily obtainable in the field or by simple laboratory analysis, thus our results can be easily integrated in operational forestry to determine site quality.

Eric J. Sinrod investigates the problem of insider threats for CNET News
Monthly Archives: September 2006
Assessing the infrastructure risk (CNET News)
Robert Lemos (CNET News) analyses the risks of infrastructure being attacked over the Internet.
His conclusion: A terrorist attack on critical infrastructure would need loads and loads and loads of inside knowledge and is very likely to inflict limited damage. Terrorist use of the Internet, however, is evident for communication and planning of attacks.
US Dept of Justice News: "Cybercrime becoming more organized" (CNET News / Reuters)
You would not have thought it, but the US Departement of Justice just became aware of cybercrime becoming more organized, as CNET News reports
However, its the old stories about ID theft and botnets, plus some speculation on "terrorists attacking infrastructure via the Internet. Nothing really newsworthy, just another "ceterum censeo" by the U.S. Department of Justice and its deputy chief of the computer crimes and intellectual-property section, Christopher Painter. Their motto, as usual: "If you have nothing to report you should still try to scare people". And of course the news people will print it…

Ever considered a 3-D scan of your own head?
Internationally acclaimed visual artists Ewelina Aleksandrowicz and Andrej Wojtas — who go by the moniker Pussykrew — are looking for participants whose features can be transformed into "digital environments" for the #nowseethis Party at the Carnegie Museum of Art on May 9. The celebration features a fairly incredible lineup of music and artists, including swiftly rising avant-R&B star Kelela, Danish singer-producer Dinner and DJ-producer-writer Juliana Huxtable.
From noon to 1:30 p.m. April 23, there will be an artist lecture titled "MUTAT3D" and a 3-D scanning session at the Hunt Library, IDeATe Studio A, at Carnegie Mellon University. It's free, and anyone can participate. As an added incentive, there will be pizza.
The Polish-born, Brussels-based artists are crafting visual accompaniment for Kelela's music May 9, but it's anyone's guess how they'll manipulate the 3-D scans they are collecting. A recent installation, "Forces Between Particles" in Berlin, may give some clues. Across the entire glass facade of a building, images of bodies and faces seemed to be forming and melting, turning into abstract, ghostly landscapes.
Their art utilizes CGI, 3-D printing, animation and sound performance, among other new media, to explore "post-human identity, bodily queerness, urban landscapes and their transformations and synthetic-organic/digital-physical structures."
So, if you're ready to get "post-human," this is your chance.
The #nowseethis Party celebrates the first year of the Hillman Photography Initiative at the Carnegie Museum of Art. It's a collaboration with VIA, the Pittsburgh-based collective.VIA's annual music and new media-focused VIA Festival has been invited into the International Cities of Advanced Sound, a consortium of festivals "dedicated to the advancement of adventurous music and digital culture."
#nowseethis is set for 7 to 11 p.m. May 9 at Carnegie Museum, Oakland. Tickets are $15 online, $10 for students, or $20 at the door.
