We welcomed back John Strickland for this two hour discussion on a wide range of topics of interest to the NewSpace, commercial space, and space settlement audiences. John started out by talking about the upcoming NSS ISDC Conference in San Diego from May 23-27. For more information visit the NSS website, www.nss.org and click on the ISDC link. Some tracks are still open for submitting abstracts so if this interests you, click on the appropriate link at the ISDC site. During this part of our discussion, John talked about the NSS Roadmap and the planned coverage of it at ISDC 2013. John was then asked about the deep space commercial and Mars ventures announced in 2012 and so far this year. He said they were helpful to the overall space settlement agenda and explained how in his discussion comments. He added that the Mars missions and Golden Spike were "laudable" but suggested we may not be ready by the time the projects give for doing the venture. He later said he would have spent the money differently. Don't his miss all his comments on these new commercial and HSF missions to Mars. Our conversation then focused on the problems of sequestration and then John talked about heavy lift and SLS. Our next discussion topic was Space Solar Power (SSP). Here, John took us through a detailed analysis of why terrestrial solar and wind is not the best way to go, then he went through some of the characteristics of SSP and why it is the preferred way to acquire much of our energy. This is a detailed and at times marginally complex discussion but one you will want to hear. In the end, he suggested we delay until we have the bigger launchers such as Falcon Heavy or bigger to make the launch component more economical. His analysis included total energy needs for a city, Texas, the U.S., globally, etc. It is a very instructive discussion. Near the end, he said we should not put all our eggs in one energy source basket. Listen to his solid explanation for this suggestion.
In our second segment, John talked about launcher reusability and more regarding SSP. He introduced us to space logistics, commercial docking with cargo to the ISS, & the need for reusable deliveries, thus the RLV. From here, he talked about fuel depots, mostly at Earth-Moon L1 and L2. He explained the boil off problem, the cryogenic transfer problem, and the need for good insulation plus a cryo cooler. Other issues in this segment addressed a lunar base, plausible time lines for accomplishing much of what our guest talked about, the Chinese space program and the complicated US-China relationship. Near the end, a listener asked about a possible Texas spaceport per suggestions of SpaceX. Tim called just before the end of the show to talk fuel depots, types of propellant for the depots and then he mentioned the VAPAK process (see http://ralph.open-aerospace.org/PDF/2009.04.14%20-%20HCG%20White%20Paper%20-%20VaPak%20Overview.pdf.)

Photographer's Note
I was heading to Chalottes Pass from Sydney for a 2 day hike, and just happened to be driving past Lake Jindabyne at the right time, so out with the tripod and camera. I was intending to capture some foreground, but it appears I metered the sky only and forgot the fill flash, but a good lesson for a beginner like me,,,
Thanks for all the Critiques, very contructive, this site rocks

Wellcome to TE. I'm new here too. But you should fill the note of your picture to explain the picture or place, I mean, inspiration. Please, update it.
I loved the landscape and the reflection of orange/red, white and gray. But I would change the image format and adjust the sharpness too. The clouds color seems to have a "big pixel" transaction by the diferent nuances. Maybe someone can help improving that, but I don't know what to do in PS. Keep the good work.

This area has to be one of natures greatest photo opportunities. This is a great evening shot. Take another one with more sky and less darkened foreground. I like the sunset colour to the left and it's reflection on the water. Stating what equipment you used would be helpful

Soompi K-pop Idol Vocalist Challenge: Round 1 (First Half)
So far, Soompi has posted the K-pop Rap Battle, K-pop Dance Madness, and Ideal Type World Cup. Can you tell what's missing from this trio of tournaments? That's right, the vocalists. Let's correct that situation by presenting the Soompi K-pop Idol Vocalist Challenge!
We're naming 48 of the most highly-regarded singers in the world of K-pop, and it'll be up to YOU to decide the winner! All you have to do is listen to the video clip of all the contestants and vote. This tournament is our biggest yet! There are so many great K-pop vocalists that we just couldn't skip, and we really wanted to include some of the lesser-known singers in the genre who have fantastic voices.
Although we love all of our big-name idols, we really encourage you to take the time to check out the singing clips of talented folks such as Spica's Boa and Kim Bohyung, Davichi's Lee Haeri, Bebe Mignon's Ben, and Mamamoo's Solar and Whee In. Hopefully you'll discover some singers you hadn't known before!
With this volume of contestants, we're changing up the tournament format a bit. For Round 1, we're dividing the battle in two halves, so this time around, you'll be voting for the Pink, Red, Orange, and Yellow groups. You can vote once per round every 12 hours. We will be clearing out spam votes, so don't even bother!
The first half will end on Saturday, 5 p.m. KST; we'll be posting the second half clips and polls soon afterward. In addition to the first-place winner from each bracket, we're also allowing the top remaining contestant from each pair of brackets to proceed. So even if your favorite contestant isn't going to win in his or her round of three, don't fret – as long as s/he gets the most votes of any remaining contestant in the two brackets, s/he will be able to move on! And even if s/he doesn't move on, we may incorporate "staff saves" in our upcoming Round 2.
Stay tuned, listen carefully to these great clips we've compiled, and remember to vote, vote, vote!

Man arrested after targeted Chilliwack shooting; Teen shot to death in Vanderhoof
Meanwhile in Vanderhoof, RCMP investigators are probing the fatal shooting Thursday of a teenaged girl. The 18-year-old was transported to the University Hospital of Northern B.C. about 4:30 pm Thursday, but later succumbed to her injuries.
Const. Lesley Smith said Monday that police are not releasing the victim's name out of respect for the family. They are also not saying if this was a murder or an accident, though the tone of Monday's news release suggests it was an accident.

The media it seems are just obsessed with 'mummy-bagging' at the moment. 'Mummy bloggers' are just opportunistic wenches looking for freebies to mindlessly blog about to a mindless readership. Women of child-bearing age read 'mummy porn' described as crap-tastic drivel aimed at the lowest common mum-dominator. And now the 'mummy mafia' are camping out at a school gate near you, ready with a whispered and bitchy critique of your drop off ensemble, your child's behaviour and a stack of party invites without your child's name on it.
All this 'mummy' nonsense is just sexism plain and simple and I'm sick of it. Excuse me while I don my ranty pants. Continue reading

FreedomWorks president Adam Brandon made the following statement following the Senate decision to change precedent to confirm Judge Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court with a simple majority vote:
"Democrats know Gorsuch is a good and qualified judge and will be a fair and reasoned Supreme Court justice. Their opposition to him is purely partisan and misguided. Sen. Schumer and his conference are acting out of anger about the results of the election. They still can't get over the fact that Donald Trump is the president. America is ready to get things done for the good of the country. Unfortunately, Democrats again today showed that they are incapable of working with President Trump and Republicans.
"Our grassroots activists will have a huge victory in the Senate tomorrow and restore the Supreme Court to a full bench again."

In the multifactorial pathophysiology of alcoholic liver disease (ALD), inflammatory cascade activation plays a central role. Recent studies demonstrated that Toll-like Receptors, the sensors of microbial and endogenous danger signals, are expressed and activated in innate immune cells as well as in parenchymal cells in the liver and thereby contribute to ALD. In this paper, we discuss the importance of gut-derived endotoxin and its recognition by TLR4. The significance of TLR-induced intracellular signaling pathways and cytokine production as well as the contribution of reactive oxygen radicals is evaluated. The contribution of TLR signaling to induction of liver fibrosis and hepatocellular cancer is reviewed in the context of alcohol-induced liver disease.

"Stalker Please Don't Talk to Me" is the result of Rade Petrasevic stay in Athens with The Breeder Residency Program curated by Stamatia Dimitrakopoulos. Presented at The Breeder Playroom, the exhibition focuses on Rade's paintings and personal sketchbooks and journals.
The alarming title of the show, brings to mind the obsessive observation of a subject of desire. One can understand a lot from the living surroundings of a person, from the objects he chooses to live with. This is what intrigues Rade and is the subject matter of his paintings. A sofa, a chair, a table, framed photographs and paintings, sculptures and ceramics reveal the imaginary environment of an art collector. The viewer inspects the scene when the protagonist is absent, tries to imagine who is behind the collection, thus these intimate interiors become Portraits.
These oil on canvas paintings retain the immediacy of Rade's sketches. They are direct, bold and straightforward, with strong manically painted brush strokes that resemble marker on paper. The idiosyncratic color palette only intensifies the result, with the colors acting as figurative identifiers, borrowing the impressionist technique.
Rade Petrasevic was born in Vienna, in 1982, and received a B.F.A from Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and Bezalel Academy of Fine Arts, Jerusalem. He has exhibited throughout America, Europe and the Middle East (Los Angeles, Antwerp, Berlin, Athens, Vienna, Tel Aviv). His recent exhibitions include Circle Culture Gallery (Berlin), MOCA (Los Angeles), 21er Haus (Vienna), Secession (Vienna), ReMap 4 (Athens), Boutique (Cologne).

"Limiting Money Vow" holding you back?
November 30, 2011 at 12:57 am Leave a comment
I had a number of limiting money vows and I didn't even know it! They're a lot more powerful than beliefs or programs around prosperity issues you may have already worked on. Don't miss this chance to find out if you have some too and then do something about clearing them. It made a big difference for me.
In my many years of study, healing, transforming, teaching… I've come across many experts with much to say and share.
After awhile the messages start to sound an awful lot alike.
So when someone comes along and says something in a new way; my ears prick up, my heart expands, my world tilts a bit...(in a good way.)
Margaret Lynch's 7 Levels of Wealth Manifestation video did that for me.
7 Levels of Wealth Manifestation
I'm been studying and teaching personal development, human awakening, and evolving consciousness for decades.
I've also studied the chakras, the meridian system, and the aura for most of that.
Yet, Margaret Lynch opened new insights to me on the chakras and showed me some things I did NOT know.
Each of us make negative, or limiting VOWS about money, health, love, and sex.
Are you refusing to be rich?
We've all heard of limiting beliefs and fears but what she teaches is that there is a limiting vow in you that absolutely refuses money and wealth.
A lot of people talk about your unconscious blocks, but what if you've actually made a vow against money?
Each of these vows are stored in our chakras, they are like software programs with the energetic data bases of our bodies – storing unconscious commands that drive our lives.
I've know all this about the unconscious minds…but not with the chakras in quite this way.
It's a simple, ten minute Tapping exercise that will shatter your limiting money vows and your family (including ancestors) money paradigms. And open a door for you to choose the vows and the money paradigm you want to live by. Click Here to find out more.
Best Regards,
PS: Even if you're not to keen on money, finances, and wealth; give this exercise a thorough viewing. Because I know that we all have limiting beliefs about sex, love, safety, health, and happiness stored in those chakra databases too.
Margaret is pointing the way, offering a road map, for clearing all those negative paradigms that are holding you back.
Find out more about the 7 Levels of Wealth Manifestation.

Mount Adams Climber's Log
GAZOOBIE - Dec 10, 2002 7:01 pmRoute Climbed: Mazama Glacier Date Climbed: July 1979
Proud graduate of the past Mount Adams Wilderness Institute (MAWI). Just a great experience. Helped me start a love of mountains that still continues today. Thank you Darryl Lloyd.
jasonconnell - Dec 5, 2002 10:36 amRoute Climbed: South Spur Date Climbed: 4 Summits between 96-98
My first real mountain. Snowboarded off the summit on one attempt.
Dulton - Nov 12, 2002 9:54 pmRoute Climbed: Shuksdorf Ridge Route Date Climbed: August 13th 2001
Fun day hike, although, too many people on the summit. Great views of Rainier and the lower South Cascades. Would like to climb via one of the glaciers one day tho.....
schitthaedt - Nov 4, 2002 6:19 pmRoute Climbed: South Spur Date Climbed: November 2, 2002
Beautiful, clear day, rare for this time of year. The skrie slope up to Piker's Peak is the least enjoyable part of this climb, especially if you break "trail," as I found out. I'm glad I brought my crampons because the glacier covering the saddle was pure slick ice and I watched another guy take a spill. I actually enjoyed the soft skrie on the way down, it was easier on the knees and I almost felt like I was skiing my way down. I hiked from exactly dawn to dusk, which turned out nicely. The hike was pretty exhausting--I live at sea level, and while I was able to ascend about 2000 ft/hr up to the lunch counter, I hit my wall at about 10,000 feet and didn't summit until 1:00 pm (started at 6:30).
fastandlight - Nov 2, 2002 9:51 pmRoute Climbed: South Spur Date Climbed: july 10, 2001
Great climb on a beautiful. The false summit was really nasty on the way up, but it still made for a great climb. If I had to do it again I might take some skis to speed the descent. Glissading down was fun though. I would also note that a 4X4 vehicle is almost mandatory for the approach to the cold springs trailhead.
Martin Cash - Oct 31, 2002 5:01 pmRoute Climbed: South Spur Date Climbed: September 8, 2002
The route was almost completely melted out; lots of scree. Not too windy but cloudy at the summit. Not very steep at all, but a lot of distance to cover in 1 day. Took me about 13 hours roundtrip. I'll be back next year for a harder route and more snow!
cjwhat - Oct 18, 2002 9:06 amRoute Climbed: South Spur Date Climbed: September 6, 1998
Long slog completed w/my brother, Mike.
rmjwinters - Oct 5, 2002 9:50 pmRoute Climbed: South Spur Date Climbed: July 1998
Climbed in one day with a water bladder accident. Summit was cold and windy, but afforded beautiful views.
Otomax - Sep 29, 2002 1:30 pmRoute Climbed: South Spur Date Climbed: September, 20, 2002
Camped at the Lunch Counter Thursday night were we encountered very high winds. At the time it seemed improbably that we would summit the following day. Lots of frustrating scree to wade through up to Piker's Peak which made it difficult. More high winds up at the false summit and above but nothing compared to the night before at the Lunchcounter. I would have prefered more snow but it was a fine climb.
Spud - Sep 16, 2002 1:49 pmRoute Climbed: South Spur Date Climbed: September 8, 2002
Pretty dry up there. I must have bad luck in the Cascades as this was my second summit there and I've still yet to have a clear or even remotely clear day. Entire cap was engulfed in cloud when I got to the top. Took my token photo at the Geological survey marker. Didn't realize there was a register at the old hut...
Scree slopes were loads of fun on the way up and sucked big time on the way down. It's amazing I didn't twist my ankle.
Humped up my tent and set up shop at the lunch counter. Good water supply in a glacial runoff - next time I'm bringing my filter though as it took way too long to melt and boil. Snow greeted us that night shortly after tent was erected. New tent and it held up well.
Didn't put on my crampons or ice axe for this mission. It was boots and poles all the way up and all the way down. Wish I had known as it was alot of extra weight to hump about...
Story and photos to come - watch for my website at www.spudstravels.com
TNT825 - Sep 11, 2002 11:13 pmRoute Climbed: South Spur Date Climbed: August 16th, 2002
All in all a good climb. My party opted to do the whole thing in one day. The party consisted of myself, my dad, my uncle, and my roommate Lee.
We started from Cold Springs at 6:00 AM, beating the guy that was sleeping behind his truck. We made really good time until about 9000 feet when we started slowing down. My dad turned back at 9700 feet convinced that he would seriously injure himself if he continued. The next 800 feet or so were steep but still covered with pitted snow. The last 800-900 feet before the false summit was scree which proved to be very disheartening.
After taking a break on the false summit we hiked easily across the saddle and then willed ourselves up the last section of consolidated scree that preceded the summit. There was not much snow, and the snow that was there was highly consolidated. Didn't really need crampons at all.
By the end of the climb we had dubbed it the "death march" since we had gained 6600 feet in one day. We summited in 8 1/2 hours and made it back down in 3 1/2. For those that forget to bring their friend's ice axe like I did, you can rent an ice axe from the owner of the general store in Trout Lake for $10, however only one person may do so per day because there is only one hanging on the wall. Oh yeah, my dad has vowed to get in better shape for next year's climbing season.

Great 2-day climb! Our approach varied slightly from most other climbers as we ascended via a ridge slightly west of the main trail. This provided us with a secluded camping option to the west of the Crescent Glacier only 500 feet lower than the crowded Lunch Counter. The second day began with a short hike accross the glacier to reach the main route at the base of Suksdorf Ridge. Many cramponed footsteps later we reached Pikers Peak and eventually the Mt. Adams summit. The snow conditions were great and weather cooperated for the most part. The glissade from Pikers to the Lunch Counter was awesome!

9/8/02 Hiked in Saturday in a snowstorm. Bivied at about 7500 feet and enjoyed a clear, moonless but cold night. Started climbing about 6:30 am, had to stop at the edge of the glacier to melt water for the climb. Once we reached Pikers Peak a storm blew in but we continued on while some others turned back. Reached the summit about 1 pm but no views so just some pictures next to the completely melted out hut. Met a guy up top who had just climbed the north side.
Got off trail on the descent but once under the clouds we could see the Lunch Counter and it was a long hike out from there. Great day.
7/11/15 Solo climb from Cold Springs started at 5:30. Another lenticular came down and settled at about 9500 feet on up so no views at the summit at 11:50 am. 15 minutes up top with apparently the rest of Portland and Seattle who all decided to climb today, then down by 3:45 pm. Back in time for dinner with pizza in Portland.

Could not have asked for better weather. This was my wife's first Volcano and she did great. We camped below the lunch counter on dirt and enjoyed great snow on the hike to the top. Awsome views of Rainier and Hood.

The view was fantastic from the top ! My 12 yo daughter and I camped at the lunch counter , lots of great rock shelters ! Headed up at 630 am and summited at 12 noon , the ice slab below pikers was a blast to ascend ! returned to Cold Springs at 630 pm , what a wonderful weekend and a great mountain for training !

Left Cold Springs TH at 430am on Monday morning. Kept a good pace to the lunch counter to take short break. Pikers Peak is halfway melted out, so the last 800-1000 vert feet is all scree which is total crap. I would never go back this time of year as it is not that much fun. We made the summit at 11:15am and hung out for an hour as it was warm and we were all alone. Left summit at 12:15pm and arrived back at cold spring at 315pm. Long drive home and traffic sucked. Burgerville rulez.

Standard climb up South Side from packed Cold Springs parking lot, bivy at Lunch Counter, summit and descent on second day.
Climbed on a weekend with a zoo of fellow weekend warriors. Large snowfield just below Lunch Counter, otherwise approach trail was snow-free. Choice of steps to follow clear to summit. Incredible winds at Piker's Peak (50mph+). Lenticular grasped summit all day, but was harmless and did not impede summiting. Incredible glissading possible down to ~7,000'.
A good word out to climbers who found/caught a friend's sleeping pad as it flew down the mtn and anchored it at a cairn... thanks.

NEARLY 6,000 staff at Game Group are facing an uncertain future after the struggling video games retailer collapsed into administration.
Professional services firm PwC has been appointed administrator to the UK operations of Game Group, which has 609 stores under the names Game and Gamestation.
The chain, which employs 385 staff at its headquarters in Basingstoke, Hampshire, and around 5,100 in its stores, has suffered dire trading in recent months, while some suppliers refused to stock the retailer as its worsening finances came under increased scrutiny.
PwC said it was hopeful that Game could be sold.
The group's lenders were reportedly working on plans to buy a slimmed-down version of the retailer out of administration.
A consortium of existing banks led by state-backed Royal Bank of Scotland is understood to be among three potential bidders, along with American rival Gamestop and OpCapita, which recently acquired consumer electronics business Comet.
Mike Jervis, joint administrator and partner at PwC, said: "The group has faced serious cashflow and profit issues over the recent past.
"It also has suffered from high fixed costs, an ambitious international roll-out and fluctuating working capital requirements.
"Despite these challenges, we believe that there is room for a specialist game retailer in the territories in which it operates, including its biggest one - the UK. As a result we are hopeful that a going-concern sale of the business is achievable."
Game last week said it planned to appoint an administrator, having admitted there was no value left in the company.
The chain's demise follows a string of profit warnings and the failure of nervous suppliers, including Electronic Arts and Nintendo, to go on providing new games.
The retailer had a £21 million rent bill due yesterday and faces a £12 million wage bill this weekend, although PwC is expected to honour any wages owed. There is also £10 million in VAT and £40 million owed to suppliers.
Game suffered a dismal Christmas and was later forced to ask suppliers for more generous trading terms.
But many stopped supplying it with new releases, such as Mass Effect 3 and Street Fighter X Tekken, leaving fans disappointed and adding to the group's trading woes.
Game agreed fresh lending facilities with banks last month and began seeking access to alternative sources of funding earlier this month.
The group has already signalled that losses for the year to the end of January are likely to be around £18 million.

How To Set Weight Loss Goals
If you've been struggling to lose those last 5 or 10 kilo's, don't blame your lack of willpower.
In a recent paper by Rush University experts argue that focusing on self-control—or rather, the lack of it—can be disempowering, and ultimately backfire.
Related: 20 Simple Steps To Forge The Willpower You Need To Lose Weight & Get Fit
"The idea of 'willpower' refers to a man's character, and no one likes their integrity to be diminished," says psychologist Dr. Alexander Cohen, Department Chair of Sport and Exercise Psychology at Argosy University. "It's not enough to say eat broccoli instead of that donut. Everyone knows the choices that are better for them."
Your solution: Make a process goal—one that's about your behaviours, not the outcome.
Related: This Guy Is Proof That No Excuse Is Too Big To Stand Between You And Your Goals
"Obviously long-term outcome goals—like losing weight to improve health—are important, but focusing on the process returns control," Cohen says. "And the more perceived control you have, the more you'll engage in or stick with a new behaviour."
Process goals work best when they're short-term (daily or weekly, depending on what works best for you), specific (run 3kms, 5 days a week), and realistic. Here are more of Cohen's tips:
Create a plan
"Decide what you're going to do ahead of time, so you don't have to test your willpower," Cohen says. "That could mean packing a healthy lunch the night before work, or deciding what time you're heading to your workout."
Related: Hit A Plateau? Here's How This Guy Broke Through & Dropped 26kg
Prepare for trouble
"This is perhaps the most underutilized yet important tactic: You're going to experience setbacks, like working late or bad weather. Plan for these times, and know exactly how you'll adjust and what you'll do, so you can eliminate the opportunity for impulsive decisions."
Remove personal obstacles.
"Identifying your weight loss obstacles is a simple first step. I had one client who wanted to lose weight, but was self-conscious about women looking at him. So we decided to have him run in the woods where no one could see him," Cohen says. "It wasn't about overcoming his anxiety. We just made it easier for him to exercise."

Lionel Messi broke Telmo Zarra's 59-year-old record as the leading goalscorer in the history of La Liga with a stunning hat-trick against Sevilla.
The Argentinian opened the scoring with a trademark free-kick to match Zarra's mark of 251 goals in his 289th La Liga appearance. He then slid in to convert Neymar's pass to set the new record mark for his side's fourth of the evening and rounded off a special night with a low left-footed effort to seal his hat-trick.
Messi was thrown into the air by this teammates as they celebrated the record in front of over 78,000 fans at the Camp Nou. Legendary Basque striker Zarra scored his 251 goals for Athletic Bilbao during a 15-year career from 1940 to 1955. Messi's strike ended an uncharacteristically long three-game goal drought in league action as Barça slipped to defeats against Real Madrid and Celta Vigo and had to come from behind to beat Almeria 2-1 before the recent international break.
However, in between times, he had also equalled Real Madrid legend Raul's all-time record mark of 71 UEFA Champions League goals with a double against Ajax earlier this month. Barça boss Luis Enrique hailed the 27-year-old as "the best player I have seen in my life" after he hit that landmark in Amsterdam.
Messi recently celebrated the tenth anniversary of his debut with the Catalan giants, a period which has seen him win 21 trophies and crowned FIFA Ballon d'Or winner four times. Messi's Real Madrid rival Cristiano Ronaldo, who is just one shy of him and Raul in Champions League goals, lies ninth on the all-time La Liga list with two goals in Real's 4-0 win over Eibar on Saturday taking him to 197 in just 177 games.

Some refugees of Kutupalong evacuated in safe place
By Burma Times
Some Rohingyas refugees of risky area are being evacuated from the Kutupalong camp of Cox's Bazar district to new camp due to in fear of natural disasters like mountain collapse and cyclone. The government has made a new camp for them in 500 acres of land, a refugee elder said.
Disaster management ministry has decided to remove them. According to UN Development Report-(UNDP) that there is a possibility of huge loss of life in Kutupalong landslide and any accidents.
The Rohingyas fled to Bangladesh to save their lives from the Myanmar army's killing and torture where large number of Rohingyas refugees are living in Kutupalong camp and other areas in Cox's Bazar district. The temporary shelters have been constructed with polythene and plastic sheets for the refugees. These components have blocked the flow of water in different parts of the hill. It has raised concerns about water logging and landslides from the United Nations Development Organization-UNDP and the Environmental and Forest Ministry's Environmental Risk Study.
According to joint survey, the number of trees in the hill of Kutupalong area has declined from 72 percent to 39 percent but 67 percent of mud and sandy soil in the mountains. May fall into a little rain and wind and collapse. Therefore, before starting monsoon, it has been recommended and then the Rohingyas be shifted to a safe place.
Disaster Management and Disaster Management Secretary Shah Kamal said that they have started taking away Rohingyas refugee from the risky area of Kutupalong camp.
He said there are about 45,000 families in the most vulnerable areas. Of them, 5000 families have already been removed.
In May last year, there was landslide in 48 areas there due to the cyclone Morah. There is a sudden risk of flooding in this area. ##

Our range of Picea includes small and dwarf Spruce trees with foliage in beautiful blues, whites and greens. Spruce trees are tidy, conical shaped trees and all of ours are evergreen, so great for providing year-round interest and structure. Unlike many conifers, Spruce trees have individual needles attached to the branches rather than clusters of needles.
Spruce needles are arranged in a spiral fashion, creating the appearance of soft, circular branches. The needles are square and sharply pointed, and can easily be rolled between the fingers. They're attached to the branches on small peg-like projections and when the needles shed, the projections stay on the boughs of the tree, making them rough to the touch. Their bark is particularly rough, even when young, whereas most coniferous species adopt a textured bark only with maturity.
Like almost all coniferous trees, Spruce produce cones which can remain on the branches for a number of years. Often these male and female cones appear mainly on the upper third of the tree, and their delicate scales are much thinner than those of other species, with an almost paper-like texture.
Our range of Spruce trees are specially selected to be suitablely sized for gardens and are great for providing year-round interest and structure, whether planted as part of a border, as a foil for other specimens or as a small feature tree. They will even fare will fare well when grown in a pot or planter. They look particularly attractive when the lower branches are permitted to skirt the tree to the ground with a mulch underneath, rather than a cleaned up trunk.
Picea is a genus of 35 evergreen species, and part of the Pinacaea family. It is thought that the name originally derived from the local pronunciation of the word "Prussia" or "Prusy", a historical region which is today part of Poland. Prusy was a general term for the goods brought to England from Prussia by Hanseatic merchants; amongst the imported items of the times were Spruce trees as we know them today. Mostly, Picea are found growing on mountain sides or on wet plains in East Asia so that gives an indication that they do well in similar conditions in the UK where they mostly like acidic, damp but well drained soils, ideally in areas of high rainfall. Picea pungens particularly likes cold conditions.

Every year for New Year's my mother insists on making lentils. Now, my sister and I could not be more different, but one thing we do share is our utter dislike for lentils. Yet mom believes that eating lentils will bring good luck in the New Year, and so everyone in my family – my sister and I included – is required to eat some. Every year we have the same argument, trying to convince mom not to make the oh-so-dreaded lentils, but ultimately the struggle ends with the two of us conceding to eat the tiniest forkful imaginable.
Studying abroad in Israel and doing my best to stick to my budget, I've taken stock of which foods are the most economical at the shuk, or market, here in Israel. So what's one of the cheapest goods at the shuk? You guessed it – lentils. I guess there wasn't enough luck in my tiny forkful of lentils this New Year's. Such a pity. And yet, I bought a kilo of red lentils and decided to be cultural if not a bit adventurous in my cooking.
Nicknamed the "poor man's food," lentils are rich in fiber, vitamins and protein and are surprisingly filling. For these reasons, lentils have been a major component of Middle Eastern cooking for centuries. Paired with sweet potatoes, spinach and a very healthy dosage of Middle Eastern spices, the lentil stew I made was shockingly delicious. So Mom, I may not hate lentils as much as a I thought I did–but maybe we should try a new recipe next New Year's!
Sarah McAnaw is a junior at American University where she studies International Relations and Biology. After cooking (and eating!) her way through a semester in Florence, Italy last fall, she's in Haifa, Israel this spring to study the Arab-Israeli conflict and experience the culinary flavors of the Middle East first hand.
Spiced Lentil Stew with Sweet Potatoes and Spinach
Modified from Healthy Food For Living
Serves 4
For the spice-roasted sweet potatoes:
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon cumin
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
salt and pepper to taste
For the stew:
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 small or ½ a medium yellow onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup red lentils
4 cups vegetable or chicken stock
spice roasted sweet potatoes
a large handful of spinach leaves, washed and roughly chopped
salt and pepper to taste
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Toss the sweet potatoes with olive oil and spices and lay out in an even layer on a baking sheet. Roast for 30 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the potatoes are soft and lightly browned. Set aside.
Heat the oil for the stew in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and spices and sauté for an additional 30 seconds. Add in the lentils and cook for one minute to lightly toast the lentils. Pour in the broth and bring the mixture to a boil; reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the roasted sweet potatoes and spinach. Cook the stew for an additional 10 minutes, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot with pita or naan bread, or even top the stew with a dollop of greek yogurt if you'd like.

Wildfire near Boulder, Colo., forces evacuations
A small wildfire burning in the mountains near Boulder, Colo., on Sunday reached within a mile of the city's downtown, forcing thousands of residents from their homes.
Wind pushed the flames in a wooded area west of Boulder's shopping and dining district, prompting authorities to order more than 1,000 residents to evacuate, The Associated Press reported. Authorities warned 2,200 more to get ready to leave if conditions worsened, said Gabi Boerkircher of the Boulder Office of Emergency Management (OEM).
By early afternoon, the blaze, in the Sunshine Canyon area west of downtown Boulder, was 20% contained, The Denver Post reported, but winds were gusting, officials said.
How to protect your home and family from natural disasters
Emotions still raw for Gatlinburg wildfire victims
"We are feeling pretty good about it right now," Boulder spokeswoman Barb Halpin told The Post. "The big question we have is the winds," which were gusting at 20 mph just before 1 p.m. MT. They were expected to rise to 40 mph. "That could really change the dynamic," she said.
OEM said more than 1,000 homes had been evacuated since the fire was first reported around 2:30 a.m. Sunday. By midafternoon, 426 homes had been evacuated, with another 836 on a pre-evacuation list as a precaution.
The fire was believed to cover as much as 106 acres and was moving south toward downtown Boulder. On its Facebook page, OEM said no homes or other structures were immediately believed to have been lost.
Six aircraft were dropping both water and slurry on the flames, Halpin said. Residents were warned to avoid Wonderland Lake, where water refills were underway.
Late Sunday, OEM said the fire was 50% contained.
In 2010, a wildfire destroyed nearly 200 homes in the mountainous area west of the city, home to the University of Colorado, Boulder.
Resident Seth Frankel, who was warned that he and his family may need to evacuate, said he had packed up "generations of things" that can't be replaced and was ready to go if the air quality worsened. Frankel told AP that smoke was pouring toward neighborhoods and that many dead trees were combusting and sending black smoke into the air less than a half-mile from his home.
But Frankel, a 20-year resident, his wife, a Boulder native, and three daughters have dealt with fires and floods before, he said. "It's always alarming and always on your mind, but it's not an uncommon sensation around here."
Frankel said he got word of the fire early Sunday from a neighbor who got a warning call and was outside with neighbors watching the flames and smoke. But Frankel let his daughters, 9, 11 and 13, sleep in.
"It's still alarming, but there's no panic," Frankel said.

pistachio gelato (along with hazelnut gelato) is my favorite flavor.
Since I prefer total flavor and an overwhelming taste, in this recipe I use exclusively original and certified pistachio paste from Sicily island (italy).
Try it and You will not regret it …
½ l. milk
65 gr. of cream
125 gr. sugar (if available, replace 50 gr. of sugar with dextrose)
15 gr. of milk powder
3 gr. of stabilizer
Pinch of salt
2 tablespoons pistachio paste
10 pistachios whole or in pieces
Mix all dry ingredients together, then add milk and cream and continue mixing well.
Pour everything in a saucepan and bring the mix up to 85 ° C (pasteurization) with the help of a thermometer.
Allow the emulsion to cool down then add the pistachio paste stirring constantly.
Stir for about 30/40 min, at this point add the pistachios and let the ice cream maker machine stir for a few more minutes .
Let stand in the freezer for about 1 hour .
Enjoy your gelato!

Simon's Cat Logic: Is Your Cat Talking to You?
There's a new episode in the Simon's Cat Logic series: 'Is Your Cat Talking to You?'.
I like this episode very much as it actually answers questions definitively that people have about their cats.
It also answers a question that came up for me just yesterday when stroking my mother's cat. She (Mum's cat) got on her side, exposing her belly to me, but Mum said she doesn't like people stroking her belly. The cat expert in this film, Nicky Trevorrow, talked about that in this video.
Apparently, cats will expose their belly to you (and other cats) when they trust you. However, with cats, this doesn't meant that they also want you to stroke their belly. Trevorrow says that most cats actually don't like people touching their belly.
Simon's Cat Logic: Is Your Cat Talking to You?
Simon's Cat Shop
I've written a lot of posts now that include the Simon's Cat videos so I think it's time I gave something back! Therefore, I'd like to let you know about the website where you can buy products relating to this cutest of moggies and his friends.
There are all sorts of things available. The range of merchandise covers all the things one would normally expect. There are cards, notebooks, water bottles, travel pillows, calendars, weekly planners, and snack boxes. In the ceramics range there are mugs and money banks. (I suppose you can't call them piggy banks when they don't look like pigs!)
There're also t-shirts, cycling shirts, soft toys (what Americans call "plushies" apparently!?), key rings, pens, cushions, fine art prints, and, wait for it, dog toys! Well, there's a page on the site for dog toys, but there's nothing on it yet, so I guess they're still working on that line.
I'm going to get a magnetic shopping list. I like magnetic shopping lists. You stick them on the fridge and write on them as you remember things, or things run out. Then, of course, half the time you forget to take the list with you when you go shopping. But they're still the best sort of shopping list.
There's even some (pretty expensive) jewellery: a solid silver pendant and a pair of earrings. Both are £89.99 each, so they're only for the most dedicated of fans!
So, if you've ever wanted this feline to feature in your everyday life, now you know where to go!
If you enjoyed reading this, please consider donating a dollar or two to help keep the site going. Thank you.

We had cats when I was growing up. I can vouch for these behavioral clues and explanations. It fits the experience. Thanks for bringing us Simon's Cat.
I can relate to everything except the baseball bat. lol I have no doubt they would use one if they could,
I have nine cats.
Every one of them likes his/her belly rubbed. Some like it for a few seconds, and then that's enough. The others will stay there as long as I will. I've usually had enough long before they have.

Earlier this year MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell was in a horrific car accident while visiting the Virgin Islands with his older brother Michael. They were in a cab when a drunk driver slammed into them, leaving Michael with a broken femur and Lawrence with a broken hip. Both of them needed immediate surgery, which wasn't available at the hospital where their x-rays were taken. Executives at NBC did everything they could to get both of them to the United States as quickly as possible. Lawrence ended up at a hospital in New York City. That hospital, is funded by
the evil David Koch.
"The first words that I saw when I was rolled into that hospital were the words 'David H. Koch.' Yes, that David Koch," O'Donnell said on his show.
David Koch is the brother of Charles Koch and the two are regularly vilified by the far left and by Majority Leader Harry Reid as the worst humans to ever walk the earth because they donate money to conservative causes. In fact, the left hates the Kochs so much, they've actually protested hospitals that are funded by them. Luckily, O'Donnell isn't doing the same and instead took time out of his first show back on air to show his appreciation for the good Koch money has provided to hundreds of people, including himself.
"Now brace yourselves please for the first positive words said about David Koch on this program. I agree with Harry Reid's critique of the Koch Brother's contributions to American politics but that is not the only thing they contribute to. They have give $100 million to the Lincoln Center. They have given huge amounts of money to medical research and treatment. David Koch has given over $25 million to the hospital that put me and many other men, women and children back together, people with much worse injuries than I had," O'Donnell said. "David Koch's money helped make their hospital experience a better one and that is a very very good thing."
The relevant portion of the video starts at 3:50.
Although it's disappointing to see O'Donnell justify Harry Reid's abuse of power and attacks on the Koch Brothers "in politics," his reflection about his experience is refreshing and appreciated.
On another note, I wonder when O'Donnell will realize emergency surgery and hospitals like the one he recovered in don't exist anywhere else but the United States of America. Hospitals funded by people like David Koch don't operate in countries with socialized medicine because it's impossible to do so, yet O'Donnell wonders why the Koch's are against Obamacare? We can hope he'll have a change of heart on that, too.

Don't trust Marshall Seese? Me neither--the Weather Channel anchor looks a little shifty to me. And I think Jim Cantore's been left out in the field a little too long. If you've lost faith in the Weather Channel, it's time to take meteorological matters into your own hands with the USB Wireless Weather Forecaster. Plant the wireless sensor unit in your backyard, connect the small LCD touch screen to your PC, and sit back as it tracks the temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, rainfall, and wind speed.
What doesn't it do? Well, it doesn't work with Macs, nor does it show moon phases. And you'll need to buy it the next time you're in England, for 80 pounds.

With the recent summer solstice and the moon making it's closet approach to Earth in 18 years, thus making the supermoon the biggest full moon in years, I am also currently unable to turn off Hemlock Grove, Netflix's Eli Roth-directed werewolf (and other monsters) series. (Some people may say that their spirit animal is a wolf. I say that one of mine is Eli Roth.) I got to thinking – this couldn't all be a coincidence, right? Especially living up here in the woods of northern Michigan, a girl can get to wondering about the sounds she hears at night, out in the darkness among the trees…
Being a big fan of the horror genre, I was really impressed by Hemlock Grove's take on the werewolf transformation. It's certainly not for the faint of heart – do not go search YouTube right now for Hemlock Grove Werewolf Transformation unless you are prepared for some blood and gore, and/or if you really don't like that sort of thing. It's intense, to say the least. (If you do it anyway, don't say I didn't warn you.) I don't necessarily connect with the gore of it all. I think I most enjoy seeing new and innovative ways to bring mythical monsters to life. Growing up, I always wanted to turn my love of fine art into a career as a movie creature creator! I love when traditional folklore gets a new spin, and when that new spin turns out to be pretty amazing.
Anyway, back to the supermoon + Hemlock Grove combo. No matter which werewolf version you most connect to, be it the original Wolf Man or Alice the Wolf Girl in vintage circus sideshows or Teen Wolf or the wolves in The Howling or the lady wolf in An American Werewolf in Paris or Twilight's Jacob or True Blood's Alcide or Hemlock Grove's lupier, one factor is pretty consistent: there is a likeable human side of the character that makes you love the wolf that emerges during each full moon, too. As I got to thinking about what might be out in the dark woods outside our house, as the bright supermoon shone and Hemlock Grove played on my MacBook, I couldn't help but wonder: what would be on Wolfy's playlist? As you know, one of my favorite past times is making 'mix tapes.' And this one was just too much fun!
Without further ado, go get your wolf on with my mix tape,

Volume discounts
discounts for adding items to your order
The effects of aging and childbirth can have some devastating effects on the vagina. What once felt tight now feels loose and you can feel the enjoyment factor has lowered for you and your lover. It's a common problem, one that's had many women wishing for a time machine to reverse the effects and return to a time where they had a tight vagina to clasp around their lover. And thanks to Doc Johnson wishes have been granted with the Reverse Vaginal Tightening Gel for Women.
It's not a time machine, but it might as well be with instant results that will bring you and your partner closer to that tight feeling sensation clamped around him. While long lasting results can only really be obtained with regular workouts with Kegel exercises and balls. These exercises can take weeks to months to show real results and in the meantime you'll want a solution to that looser feeling down in your genitals. Reverse provides an almost instant, temporary effect. A little bit of this easy to apply gel and you'll not only hydrate the interior walls of the vagina but you'll also cause a rush of blood to the area.
Caused by natural added ingredients such as ginger, pepper, cinnamon, and cocoa the tingly gel will cause an increase of blood flowing to the vaginal walls. As a result of the excess blood flow the walls of the vagina will begin to plump up and feel fuller, thus leaving less overall room inside the vagina and producing a tighter feel.
The gel formula is easy to apply from a squeeze bottle with a flip cap without any annoying dripping and its clear and colourless formula won't stain. It's also tasteless so you can apply it before foreplay and your lover can lick and play without any bad tastes.
The slick gel only needs a small amount applied to the finger and then rubbed carefully along the inner vaginal tissues, and the 56 gram bottle will ensure you have enough to make every time he enters you feel extra tight for quite some time.
You don't have to mourn your youthful vagina, all you have to do is rub a discreet bit of Reverse Vaginal Tightening Gel for Women into the vaginal canal and you and your genitals will feel years younger.

Basketball fans are fully focused on Playoffs and what better time for sneak peaks of adidas' signature Basketball line to surface. All models built lighter and better support, the models range in specific technology from Pure Motion (as already seen in previous releases) to Fluid Motion and Speedcut Technology. The TS Beast is confirmed for Dwight Howard, while the rest are still undetermined. However looking at some of the colorways and knowledge of what players are signed by adidas can help surmise whose expected to be wearing what. These are slated for Spring/Summer releases, but we expect to be seeing some of these earlier in post-season matchups.

Nic Halverson reports on the discovery of unusual brain activity that occurs when rappers freestyle, as opposed to rehearsed rhyming:
[F]reestylers enter a "flow" state, which researchers described as a "complete immersion in creative activity, typified by focused self-motivation, positive emotional valence and loss of self-consciousness." Their creative gate is wide open.
"It's the absence of attention," said [study co-author Dr. Allen] Braun. "When the attention system is partially offline, you can just let things fly and let things come without critiquing, monitoring or judging them."
Daniel Cressey points to similar research that explains the trance-like state that artists sometimes feel they enter while creating:
Rex Jung, a clinical neuropsychologist at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, has also studied the link between brain structures and creativity, finding an inverse relationship between the volume of some frontal lobe structures and creativity…. [This suggests] an explanation for why new music might seem to the artist to be created of its own accord. With less involvement by the lateral prefrontal regions of the brain, the performance could seem to its creator to have "occurred outside of conscious awareness", the authors write.
In related news, scientists in China recently translated brain and physiological activity into music, which could ultimately be used to help patients learn to consciously control brain activity.

So What?! Music Fest Adds New Found Glory, Bayside, Saosin and More to Ninth Annual Bill.
Just a few days removed from two weeks of Austin music festival spillover shows, North Texans are already looking forward to its next spoils of that ilk. And, for its part, formerly NTX-based Third String Productions is ready to deliver on that front.
Just this morning, the pop-punk promoters announced the second crop of acts performing at its ninth annual So What?! Music Festival, which takes place SXSW weekend, March 19 and 20, at QuikTrip Park in Grand Prairie.
The biggest gets? The "godfathers of (the second late 1990's wave of) pop punk" New Found Glory and Bayside will perform on the fest's opening night. Meanwhile, Saosin, newly reunited with original frontman Anthony Green, joins previously announced heavyweights Underoath, The Devil Wears Prada and Beartooth on the fest's second day.
Formerly known as South By So What, the 2016 incarnation marks the first year for the fest under its new name — a move that not only helps distance itself from that other event that'll be going down in Austin that weekend, but that also allows Third String to hold various incarnations of the event in places like Florida and California.
Tickets to the fest are currently on sale here, with prices ranging from $50 for single day tickets and $75 for weekend passes to $350 for VIP "Superstar" passes.
Full So What?! Music Fest 2016 Lineup To Date:
New Found Glory
Saosin w/ Anthony Green
The Devil Wears Prada
A Will Away
Being as an Ocean
Capture the Crown
Ghost Key
Major League
Silent Planet
Stray from the Path

Proper lighting is regularly one of the last things to be determined when planning an event, and all too often it is overlooked completely. But forgetting about lighting when you plan an event is a mistake, because it is one of the most important parts of the night. Here are a couple of reasons why you should write lighting into your event's budget:
It sets the mood:
There's a big difference between walking into a room that is bright and full of fluorescent lights, and one that is gently washed in warm tones. Instead of being alert and on edge, your guests will feel at home, relaxed, and will know that it's time to have fun!
It gets your color scheme across:
If you find yourself picking purple as the color for every centerpiece, tablecloth, charger, and chair cover, maybe you should try using lighting instead. Soft purple uplighting will make a bold, yet subtle statement with little effort, leaving you free to use neutrals with the rest of your décor.
It completes your event:
Don't leave your event feeling unfinished! If you have spent a lot of time and money picking out the menu, the décor, and the rest of your guest list, it would be a shame not to take one last step to truly pull it all together. Even if you are operating on a strict budget, lighting is one of the fastest and easiest ways to make a big difference!
So what are the different types of lighting that you could use at an event?
Uplighting is the use of lights around the perimeter of the room in the color of your choice. You can use just a few in order to add subtle accents around the room, or you can use a lot in order to completely wash the room in a specific tone.
When you use pinspotting, lights are hung from the ceiling and focused on the parts of the room that you would like to draw attention to. Usually they are focused on the centerpieces at each table, but you can use them more sparingly if there is just one or two aspects of the event that are the most important.

Will not allow political obstructionism to stop Ins Bill
New Delhi: A day after introducing the long-pending GST Bill in the Lok Sabha, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley today said the government is "extremely determined" to push insurance sector reforms and will not allow political obstructionism to stop it.
"The government is extremely determined to go ahead with this (insurance sector) reform and will not allow a Parliamentary disturbance to obstruct or delay a reform of this kind," he said while addressing a Ficci function.
Without naming Trinamool Congress, Jaitley said that the political party, whose members are allegedly involved in chit fund scam, is trying to divert the attention by creating obstruction in the functioning of Rajya Sabha where the ruling NDA does not have a majority of its own.
The Minister regretted that although the insurance bill, which seeks to raise FDI cap from 26 per cent to 49 per cent, was approved by Standing Committee of Parliament and Select Committee of Rajya Sabha, "political obstructionism is being used to ensure it does not come on the agenda of Parliament."
Observing that such attitude cannot stop a reform which has support of overwhelming majority, Jaitley said, "there are enough safeguards, and constitutional system can deal with and effectively defeat this policy of political obstructions."
Jaitley said that with more and more state assemblies going to polls, the ability of the members in the Rajya Sabha to create obstruction will get "further diluted."
Coal bill is another important legislation which is being held up due to political obstructionism in the Rajya Sabha, he said, adding "it is a bill which has been unanimously passed by the Lok Sabha. All doubts have been cleared. It was not allowed to come on the agenda of Upper House for discussion."
After prolonged delay, Jaitley yesterday introduced the GST bill in Lok Sabha, which will create a single tax for goods and services across the country from April 2016.

text: Three decades have passed since Vann Nath was freed from the horrors of the Cambodian torture centre S-21.He spent those 30 years waiting patiently to see the perpetrators of the crimes inflicted upon him, and thousands of others, brought to justice.Nath was arrested by the Khmer Rouge and was eventually brought to the capital, Phnom Penh, and taken to S-21 - the high school turned torture centre better known today as the Tuol Sleng genocide museum.He was trained as a painter in the northwestern city of Battambang, and his ability to paint saved him from almost certain death. The artist  was given a photograph of Pol Pot and was told to paint Brother Number One's portrait and that portrait only.After the fall of the regime he turned to painting full time, using art to continue to show the world what life was like under the Khmer Rouge."People come to ask me about my life and the lives of Cambodian people at that time," he told Al Jazeera, when he was interviewed in 2009."I find it very difficult to explain what my life was like in S-21. There is only one way - I am a painter, so I paint to show people what it was like."But his concern even then was that he would not live to see justice served."I have been waiting for the trial, for justice for a long, long time," he said.  "All my friends who survived S-21, there were seven who survived, four are dead."With Nath's death there are now only two - Bou Meng and Chum Mey.His death comes as the tribunal itself is under increasing scrutiny for the slow pace of justice.Since its inception in 2006, $100m has been spent on the tribunal , yet only one person Kaing Guek Eav - the former director of S-21 - has been convicted. And even his 19-year sentence is under appeal.Case Two, in which the four most senior leaders Noun Chea, Khieu Samphan, Ieng Sary and Ieng Thirith, face charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity, has been mired in delays.Originally expected to begin hearing evidence earlier this year, it is now unlikely to get underway until 2012.The four defendants are in their late 70s or mid-80s, but it is the health of the youngest, Ieng Thirith, that is now in question.Experts have deemed that she is suffering from dementia and memory loss, mostly likely Alzheimer's.Judges will have to decide whether she will be able to cope with the rigours of a trial that is complex and will last several years.If they declare she is unfit to stand trial, there will be protests from victims decrying the decision as justice denied.As Nath warned in 2009: "Time is passing, please hurry up with the trial and get result. Cambodia needs to move ahead. It's been so long." ABOUT THE AUTHOR Stephanie Scawen Asia

The Short S.25 Sunderland is a maritime patrol flying boat built by Short Brothers & Harland in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The Sunderland was based on the pre-war Empire flying boat, and the first aircraft entered service with the RAF in 1938. The RNZAF operated 20 Sunderlands (4x Mk 3, 16x Mk 5) from 1944 until 1967.
Sunderland Mk.5 NZ4112 (constructor's number 3858) originally served with the British Royal Air Force with the serial VB881. After World War II the aircraft was placed in storage. In 1952 the New Zealand government ordered 16 Sunderland Mk 5, and VB881 was among those removed from storage and overhauled at the Short Brothers & Harland works in Belfast. She was ferried to RNZAF Hobsonville in 1953, and went on to serve with No. 5 Squadron at Lauthala Bay in Fiji, and later at Hobsonville.

In 1966 NZ4112 was withdrawn from use and after being stripped of spare parts was used by the Hobsonville Yacht Club as a club house. This arrangement lasted until 1973, when the Yacht Club was ordered to remove the by-now rather weatherbeaten hulk. The aircraft was cut up for scrap, with the cockpit and nose turret offered to the Ferrymead Aeronautical Society for preservation.
The cockpit and nose turret were delivered to Christchurch Airport by an RNZAF C130H Hercules, and spent many years in outside storage. The cockpit section is currently undergoing restoration in the Aeronautical Society workshops. Any donations of money or parts to help complete this project would be gratefully received. Contact the Society via the contact page if you can help.
