Titanium Escape Ring
A useful tool for covert and undercover operators, those that travel abroad in unstable countries, or anyone at risk of being held unlawfully.
The Titanium Escape Ring adds another tool to the operator's E&E options for escaping captivity.
It's a simple but elegant-looking ring made of titanium, cut from solid barstock and polished to a mirror finish.
But unlike all other rings, this one contains a saw and handcuff shim pick combination tool which is completely hidden from view when worn.
Located on a finger, its always in the exact area needed to quickly access and deploy, even when handcuffed.
The shim can be used to open single-locked handcuffs, while the saw can cut zip-ties, disposable handcuffs, duct tape, rope, and other non-metallic materials.
This stainless steel tool is 2" x 1/8" x 1/64", and its unusual flexibility allows it to curve around and be seated in the ring's interior.
The Micro Escape Tool is a replacement tool for this item.
Made in USA.
Once on your finger you will forget the tool is in place, and the ring can be worn with or without the tool.
We have sold several as wedding bands.
*Sorry, but size 9 is the smallest that can be made with this feature. If your finger is smaller than a size 9, You may consider to wear it on your thumb or as a pendant on a chain.
*sizes fit a little snug with the tool installed. You may want to order a size larger.

For more days spent lying faceup on blades of green grass, pointing out ships and castles in the puffs of white clouds.
For more afternoons where little and big legs alike trekking through the neighborhood exploring.
For more lazy morings welcomed by floating in cool Michigan freshwater, digging toes deep into grainy sand.
And for more dusks spent counting fireflies from the porch instead of sheep from bed.
So we play long, hard.
We laugh loudly, in abandon.
We soak in the extra sunlight long-streaking through longer days.
I simultaneously lose and gain time.
As the days boast extra warmth, extra light, I'm constantly transfering minutes spent thinking about life to plainly living.
And sometimes I need that -- to be so immersed in living that words from the day don't find a home in black print on a white page -- but rather, they find a home in the deep layers of my memory, firmly etched onto the walls of my mind.

Introducing Megan Aitken, General Manager for TAFE NSW's Digital Operations.
What is TAFE Digital?
Our office manages the online education offering for TAFE NSW. At the moment, we have three online businesses across the state offering over 100,000 students a range of online courses, and our mandate is to bring them together to leverage TAFE's size, scale, and reputation so we can offer more courses, more flexibility and more choice to our students. It's not about offering all of our courses online. It's about giving students greater choice about how and where they want to learn. Students who complete a course online will also have the chance to top up their education with campus workshops or in-class lessons and visa versa. So, it's about giving students choice and variety as to when and how they want to learn. What is exciting, is that it is all headquartered in Armidale.
Can you tell us about your background?
I grew up in Sydney and spent most of my career in financial services. Working in finance gave a me a lot of insight into how large and complex companies work, and how technology can really impact the way things operate. For the past 10 years I've worked in Asia, which gave me and my family a much better understanding about life outside of Australia. It also taught me how to manage people and lead projects across different countries and cultures. I've worked at UNE as well, heading up their Strategic Projects Unit, which showed me just how exciting the educational sector is at the moment and how important technology is in giving students a better, more engaging, learning experience.
What brought you to Armidale?
My husband went to UNE, and many of his life-long friends live here. We also have family close by, so after 10 years in Asia, we felt this was a good place to relocate with our two children. We wanted an environment that provided both a career opportunity and supported family life. Our children ride horses and we love the community here, so Armidale provides all of this. It was quite a shift from Asia, but we felt that it offered everything Sydney does but with a much stronger community spirit, which we like.
Why did you join TAFE NSW ?
TAFE makes such a huge difference to people's lives. This sounds a bit like a press release, but it's true. We skill our workforce, first and foremost, which is an important role. But even more importantly, we give our communities access to education, and this is life-changing for so many people.
We cater for lots of young adults coming out of school, but we also educate people looking to change their careers, or professionals wanting to top up their skills. For those living in the country, our online courses are really important, because they can access the same courses and the same opportunities as their city counterparts.
What is the opportunity for our community with TAFE Digital located here?
I think it cements Armidale as an educational hub, with UNE, TAFE NSW as well as great schools. We will also be creating 40 new jobs within the department. Bringing new jobs to a city like Armidale means an increase in the money spent in our community that ultimately supports local business. I think an even greater opportunity is that TAFE Digital could act as a precedent for other government agencies to move to regional locations. If we get the model right, we will demonstrate that jobs with statewide responsibility can be successfully delivered from towns like Armidale, and this sends a message to decision makers.
And your broader contribution?
We give people the skills they need to secure a job, get that next promotion or change careers. I think that's such an important contribution.
As a woman in business, what has been your biggest challenge?
I have focused not on being recognised as a woman in business, but rather as a good business person. I think starting my career in banking, which is such a male dominated environment, helped. It was so fast paced and you needed to really deliver, so your focus wasn't on gender but on doing your job well and adding value to the team.
What would you advise a young woman starting out in her career?
Find yourself a mentor, but don't automatically focus on finding a female mentor and it doesn't have to be formal. I benefited from having brilliant male mentors in my career, and they weren't officially labelled as mentors. They just gave me exposure to different ways of thinking, networking approaches, communication styles, and a more well-rounded perspective about business.
What are the biggest challenges that lie ahead?
The pace of technology is such a great opportunity, but it's also a challenge. There is so much we can do when it comes to education – things like virtual reality, augmented reality and machine aided learning will open-up new ways to teach people in virtual classrooms – people from all walks of life, regardless of where they live and like to learn. This is all exciting, but we just need to make sure it really adds to the student experience.
Thank you, Megan.

Filipinos are a proud race thus the term "Pinoy Pride" is overly used on social media with the cloying #hashtag attached to it. We take pride on our world-class performers such as Lea Salonga, international beauty stand-outs like Pia Wurtzbach and of course Manny Pacquiao who's ruling the boxing arena for years now.
El Nido is often hailed as the most beautiful island in the world and Boracay the best beach there is. But behind these world-renowned personalities , pristine beaches and paradise of islands lies the fact that millions of Filipinos are unemployed, living under 2 dollars a day, and deprived of even the most basic of sustenance. Worsening traffic in the metro is enough to make you pull your hair in anger. Corruption in the government and crimes in the streets are daily news. This never ending list of socio-political issues and the slow economic growth which have been haunting the country for ages now resulted in the diaspora of Filipinos world-wide. Whichever country you go to, you are sure to find a Filipino working or residing there in search for a better future. And New Zealand is fast-becoming the top choice for Filipinos to move to.
So what are the reasons why 40,000 strong Filipinos decide to move to New Zealand?
1.) New Zealand has the least corrupt government in the world. NZ holds this title for more than 5 years now and yet they are not being complacent and still targets to gain more public trust in the long run. There's nothing like the comfort of knowing that the taxes you pay to the government from your hard day's work is being utilized in the most efficient way possible; that the government is "actually working" to provide support and service to the people. Integrity, government transparency and public rights are top priorities here and everyone if fervently obliged to adhere to the laws.
2.) New Zealand provides greener pastures (both literally and figuratively). Okay to be honest, the cost of living in New Zealand is high, but if you have a decent job here you can surely provide for your family and still have a little extra for some luxuries or even holidays from time to time. And of course, it won't hurt that you are also having the most awesome views of rolling hills, turquoise-colored lakes and snow-capped mountains on your way to work. Minimum wage in NZ is 15.25nzd/hour or roughly 550php/hour.
3.) New Zealand is family-friendly. Companies/employers in NZ are very lenient when it comes to family matters. Here, family comes first. You need to take a day off for your daughter's ballet recital? No problem. You need to take a week off to tend to some family emergency? No problem. And even when you work in the retail industry, you can still enjoy a 9-5 job as most shops and malls here close at 5pm (to give everyone a much-needed quality time with the family). And during Christmas holidays, most companies are having a 2-week shut-down so you can have a full 2 weeks of vacation and Christmas break! How cool is that?
4.) New Zealand is very conducive for having/raising kids. As per the government welfare act, new mothers are entitled to up to 16 continuous week's paid maternity leave and a further 52 week's unpaid leave. Pre-natal care and costs of giving birth are also fully covered. Medical and dental check-ups for children are free until they reach 18. Tax credits, weekly allowances, school subsidies and housing supplements are just some of the support given by the government for working families. Plus (and this is a HUGE plus) safety here is second to none.
5.) The Kiwis (New Zealanders) are the kindest in the world! You will be surprised at how a Kiwi will go to great lengths just to help you. There was one time when I got lost and asked for directions when one Kiwi offered to just drive me to the place! You are also sure to get smiles and hellos from people on the streets. At work, Kiwis often start the day with some chitchat of how your weekend was, your plans for the weekend and just about any random stuff to lighten up your mood. The Kiwis are also known advocates for gender and race equality and diversity in the workplace is embraced here. You will feel welcomed in New Zealand regardless of your skin color, accent or beliefs.
Here are just a few reasons why thousands of Filipinos chose New Zealand as their second home. What about you, what are your reasons for moving to New Zealand or other country? Are you planning to move to New Zealand soon? I will be happy to hear your story.

Roasted breadcrumbs are pure genius. They put old bread to new use and add flavor, texture and interest to whatever they grace.
Tossed with fresh herbs and a bit of lemon zest, they add elegance to fish fillets. Used unadorned on a lusty but humble pasta dish, they become "poor man's Parmesan."
So before grumpily tossing the remains of that day-old baguette, consider how it might just transform a crummy day into a "crumby" one.
Feeling a bit better now, aren't we?

Police find dropped drugs at suspect's feet
Orange County Sheriff's Office (OCSO) investigators arrested a 32-year-old Vidor man suspected of drug possession after they reportedly found discarded methamphetamine on the ground at the man's feet following a traffic stop Aug. 15.
According to Criminal Investigator Janois Strause Grizzaffi, investigators with the OCSO Narcotics Division, along with Investigators with the City of Orange Police Department Narcotics Division, conducted a traffic stop on a white, two-door Chevrolet Caprice at Main Street and I-10 in Vidor, and identified the driver of the vehicle as Melvin Wedgeworth. Investigators asked Wedgeworth to step out of the vehicle and, upon doing so, Wedgeworth was observed tossing a bag of methamphetamine to the ground. The bag of methamphetamine was recovered by Investigators who reported seeing it land near the suspect's feet.
Wedgeworth, who is on parole, was arrested for second-degree felony possession of a controlled substance for possessing more than four Grans but less than 200 grams of meth. At the time of this release, he was being held on a $25,000 bond at the Orange County Jail.

5 Easy Communication Pieces for Modern Startups
Working as a startup owner is a difficult and risky position. Many things have to click for a startup to survive the initiation period and stand on their feet. When a young businessperson decides to leave their current company, they need to have a clear vision of their future moves. Thins string of actions has to flow as smooth as possible. This is where communication plays a huge role. Therefore, here are five handy communication tips for present-day startups.
The power of email
No matter if it's used for in-house communication or for reaching your clients and associates, email remains one of the oldest communication tools. Although there were predictions it would become an extinct communication species, it's still used for various business purposes. For instance, if you organize a daily business meeting or a business event, it's much easier to send out invitations via email. While some newer tools, like Skype or Hangout, are more appropriate for ongoing business communication, email remains the best solution for official business notifications and letters.
The importance of written form
When you're at a business meeting, it's important that you listen to your managers and other presenters. However, if you don't write down the points important for your share of work, it's highly likely you won't deliver it properly. In order to avoid such an outcome, both employees and employers should stick to written form. For instance, team leaders and business managers should send every single meeting attendee an e-handout (avoid printing, for ecological purposes). It should contain the gist of the meeting, as well as the most important general points. That way, employees will follow the meeting much easily. What's more, it will be easier for them to take their own notes when they're given the general points.
The potential of presentations
The aforementioned business meetings will be more efficient if they're enriched with visual presentations. Although listening and writing are valuable methods of distributing information about new business tasks, an all-inclusive visual presentation yields more benefits. Firstly, you can present important data with creative infographics. This incredible visual solution can contain the entire presentation.
Secondly, those meetings will look even better if you include some videos to support your points or show your employees practical examples of new projects.
Finally, the presentation can be distributed to your employees, so that they can have a look at it if they've forgotten some parts.
The value of internal collaboration
We often come across different pieces that stress out the importance of content on the Web. While this is something that determines how successful a business will be outside, let's not neglect the value of internal content. For example, when a startup owner wants to share some information with their employees, it's crucial for this content to be relevant and informative. In addition, it's important it gets to each and every employee within that business. Because of that, startup owners should explore the possibilities of the Interact intranet features. This system will enable your workers to receive and send information about business projects instantly. As a result, it will lead to enhanced internal collaboration between your employees and managers.
The potential of individual efforts
Closely related to the point explained in the previous paragraph, it's vital for startups to emphasize the potential of individual efforts. When it comes to communication and individual employees, they should be encouraged to clearly express their original ideas, as well as their concerns. Moreover, their assignments have to be presented to them with a plenitude of details and additional information.
Managers and startup owners who mistreat their employees and communicate with them in a patronizing manner will have unhappy workers and, consequently, an unproductive business. The final output of a startup will largely depend on the individual contributions made by its employees, so respect them in everyday communication and accept their ideas.
Rapid and accurate communication is the most important prerequisite for a startup to succeed in modern business. When you can connect with your business partners and your employees in a fast and relaxed way, you're able to adapt your business strategies to the every single change on the market. Such an integration of numerous communication perks can only result in a well-organized and profitable startup.

Big Blue at 100: IBM Fellow Bernie Meyerson on Perseverance and Big Bets
There aren't many technology companies around who can claim to be 100 years old. You'll probably hear that a lot today as various media outlets report that today is the anniversary of the day in 1911 that three companies came together to form the Computing Tabulating and Recording Corporation in Endicott, New York. It retained that name until 1924, when it became International Business Machines, or IBM.
The sheer number of things we take for granted in modern life that hail in one way or another from IBM is astonishing. The credit card you probably used to buy coffee this morning bears a magnetic strip that was developed by IBM. So was the bar code that's stamped on practically every tangible product you buy. The memory and hard drive in your computer evolved from technology developed at IBM, as did digital computing itself. For a quick rundown that will blow your mind, watch the video that Kara Swisher posted here in February.
Obviously, an anniversary like this presents an opportunity for many things. One is the basic PR impulse of a corporation like IBM to assert its importance and impact and get people talking about it. So be it. But it's also a chance to reflect honestly on the impact that technology has played in pushing human society ahead, and to understand how, in an industry that's traditionally thought of as being populated by young companies run by young people, IBM has so effectively stood the test of time.
I talked recently with Bernie Meyerson, IBM Fellow and vice president of innovation, whose research years ago into a material called Silicon Germanium has a lot to do with why you can find a Wi-Fi network nearly everywhere today. We talked at length about the trajectory that IBM's research has followed and about the unique mix of research and business acumen that has helped make Big Blue what it is today.
AllThingsD: Bernie, there certainly aren't many IT companies that can say they're 100 years old. The company has had its hands in so many things that just permeate modern life. How do you explain it all?
Meyerson: Most people don't even know that many of the things they take for granted evolved out of work that IBM had done. We're notoriously bad at explaining the level of progress that has been achieved in human terms. But to understand the distance you've traveled is mind-numbing. Here's a good example. If you've ever seen one of those big cruise ships, think about this for a minute. We invented the first disk drives around 1955 or 1956. And the disk drive basically at that time was this monstrous thing using paint from a shipyard to make the memory part of the disk drive. It's kind of a strange story, but it worked. In any case, if all we did was invent something and then walked away from it, then the amount of storage you have in a laptop today would weigh 250,000 tons. What's typical data storage today would be the equivalent of two of those big cruise ships. When you put it in terms of gigabytes it loses all meaning. When you think of cruise ships it makes sense.
Well, thanks for not walking away from that one. Storage is one measure of technical progress but so is processing, which is essentially our ability to get things done and how fast. Do you have an equally colorful metaphor to illustrate progress there?
We moved to digital computing in the mid 1950s. It's hard to compare what we were shipping then to the best machine we're shipping today, which does about a petaflop, about 10 to the fifteenth power floating point operations. I'm about six feet tall. How tall would I be if I simply grew in height at the same rate that computers have grown in capability? If I had, I would today be looking down and seeing the moon whack me in the ankles, roughly. If you put numbers on it, it gets lost. It's very easy to forget how far we've come, and very dangerous, too.
Why dangerous?
If you forget how far you've come, you don't realize the importance of the tremendous investments required to go further. To continue the metaphor, if I've already grown so tall that the moon is whacking my ankles, don't underestimate how hard it's going to be to grow even further because I've already grown an unimaginable amount. The trouble is there are a lot of other folks at a lot of other companies who walk away. They don't comprehend somehow the investment required to stay at it, or worse, they don't value it. And it's disconcerting to me as a scientist and technologist when there isn't a focus on the drive necessary to keep things going. To some extent there's a part of our culture at IBM that says you just keep driving, you keep innovating. And furthermore, you understand intuitively that the further you go, the harder it gets. The first step? Piece of cake. Further is not trivial. By the 47th step you're walking straight up a cliff and it gets very difficult. If you don't keep in mind the lessons of the past you're doomed to repeat the same errors.
So how does IBM deal with that? Other companies have shorter horizons in their research. IBM does a lot more basic research that may or may not lead down a productive path. How does IBM manage that consciousness of what has come before versus the need for a shorter-term payoff?
It's an excellent question and it basically comes down to culture. You don't just create an organization that comprehends this overnight. This is basically the result of 67 years of learning. So when you look at IBM and particularly our research division, which does astounding things, we have a culture of making what we call big bets. These are things that are incredibly aggressive in terms of the targeted outcome. But they're bets. Key word: Bet. You win or you lose. The bet aspect pertains precisely to your question, which is how do you focus on getting it done, and getting to closure, even if it's a longer-term effort. The danger tends to be that if you do things that are really disconnected, and which don't have a logical outcome, they can linger for a decade or two without any real progress. If you take a long view — a view that is nonetheless grounded in reality — the question comes down to how do we do it? It comes from this long, long-standing culture. Some things come to fruition quickly, others take forever. The question is having the right mix. That's the element we've mastered. You have to have a diversity of projects under way. You can't make all your bets on something five or 10 years out, but similarly you can't place them all on something this quarter. Over the years, we've basically developed structures that ensure we have that diversity, and it has served us very well.
What's a recent big bet that's paid off?
Data and analytics. We felt that the use of IT to deal with big data — vast data sets that no human has a chance of dealing with — that sort of needle-in-a-haystack item is really something you can address with IT because of the computing horsepower that's now available. In 10 years we've invested $60 billion in R&D and $14 billion acquiring 25 companies tied to analytics. And we've done some astonishing things in terms of accessing big data. One good example was Watson. That capability of dealing with big data has had some profound impacts near-term and it will have tremendous societal impacts over the long term.
We hear a lot about big data and analytics these days and I think it's one of those abstract buzzwords that makes people roll their eyes. Can you give me a concrete example of analytics in action?
We worked with a hospital in Toronto treating premature infants. They have underdeveloped immune systems so when they become ill, they don't really respond. They don't have all the usual warning signs the way healthy infants do, so it's hard to tell. By the time you know they're sick, they're so infected they usually die. The problem is this: How does a nurse working in the intensive care unit spot these infections early enough to treat the child so they don't die? We asked: What if you took all the data coming off a child in the ICU — their heart rate, their blood gas measurements, brain activity, breathing activity and so on. This data flows out at a rate of tens of thousands of readings a second. If you compound all these into a database and then watch that child, every once in a while one of these children will get one of these infections and die. What you do then is you work back through all the cases like that to see if there is an early warning sign that you're missing. All the other parameters for that child are normal right up until the moment they're terribly sick. It turned out there was a warning sign, and it turned out to be that very early, a certain normal fluctuation in the heartbeat went away. Their heartbeats were more stable, but even so it was within the sweet spot so it wasn't generating any alarms. That turned out to be one of the warning signs. Now they're able to see 24 hours out or more when one of these children is getting ill before the best trained ICU nurse could ever spot it. It makes the difference between these children living and dying.
That's a winning bet. What about the losing ones? What happens when the big bet turns out to be wrong? How do you manage that?
One of the things we do at IBM is that when we make a big bet, we practice the art of parallelism. You have two or three things that work in parallel and you measure against an absolute standard. The reason you do this is that you have to at some point choose a frontup and a backup plan. You never get it right every time so you have to have a Plan B. Which we've done with a lot of success. We had a case where we were developing a new material to use as an insulator on chips. The preliminary data showed that one we were using, lets call it Material A, was promising. But we also continued to work on another one we'll call Material B. After nine months, A just wasn't cutting it and B turned out to be the winner. And of course we had lost some of the investment, and we punted on A. This friend of mine with one of the trade journals came in to see me. He's a good guy, but he came in and wanted to have a little fun at my expense about this. He asked how we were going to explain that we worked on A for nine months and it didn't work. I thought about it for a moment and I looked at him and said, "Show me someone who has never failed and I will show you someone who will never lead." You have to be willing to hang by your fingertips with the understanding that every once in a while you're going to lose your grip. But you similarly have to make sure that somewhere you have a net so that the fall doesn't wipe you out. It's a very tough balance. It's not that we avoid failure. Quite the opposite. We do hard stuff. I could list many many programs we've had to shut down because they weren't cutting it. Most companies that have cataclysmic failures simply don't know when to punt.

I was out on errands and made a pit stop at the local box store. I was looking for a few things hoping to find a decent price. One of them included a 12″ cast-iron skillet that Mrs. Lee has been asking for. Although I was slightly nauseated by the intense nature of the Xmas fluff up and down every single isle, I could still find comfort in the thought of eggs over easy and some corned-beef hash with my coffee and cream. As the noxious music continued to flow in the background, I found myself at the checkout line. The clerk said "Happy Holidays." I could care less that she did not say Merry Christmas. Honestly, as a disciple of Jesus, I would rather she not. I returned her greeting with a stern "Bah-Humbug!"
I do not think she even knew what it meant. I don't think most of our current culture may even know what it means. She looked at me very puzzled and said, "what?" I reiterated and she still seemed confused, plausibly offended.
We have our personal reasons for not celebrating Christmas. It has been two solid years since began deleting the already light manner in which my wife and I celebrated before we were married. We do desire to be consistent with our kids and remind them that presents are not what Christmas is about. We also want to remind them that Christ is not in Christmas at all. No matter how the religious and faithful want to spell it, it is a commercial affair. The pagan roots don't matter so much anymore as the absurdity of the holiday that begins as early as September anymore.
I don't like nor listen to Glenn Beck. Although, I will have to say that his recent visit to CNN addresses the very essence of the ridiculousness of this holiday. Watch the video to hear his thoughts on the debate on whether Santa is white or black?
To back up the racial prejudice in depicting Santa as a "white man", Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings confirm that there, "Ain't No Chimneys in The Projects."
If you really got time to sit down and take in some data, you can check out this two-hour presentation from Passion for Truth and Jim Staley entitled "Truth or Tradition – Should Christians Celebrate Christmas and Easter?"
Too long? How about something more in line with our short attention spans? Read this article by Scott Ashley, "The Top 10 Reasons Why I don't Celebrate Christmas."
Lastly, a more grounded and informative approach to how conviction and conscience play a role in whether one should or should not celebrate is appropriate. I would like to think that I share the sentiments in the following articles the most. An essay by Becky Lynn Black called, "Why we no longer celebrate Christmas" and a follow up responding to adjusting when you cancel Christmas, "Christmas: Going on from here."

Playoff season is in full swing in the NHL and teams are battling it out on the ice to see who moves on to the next round of playoffs. The New York Rangers look to clinch the series tonight, at home, against the Pittsburgh Penguins with a 3-1 series in favor of the Rangers so far. But a few miles east at Nassau Coliseum the New York Islanders and the Washington Capitals are getting ready to head to game 6 on Saturday with the Caps up 3-2 in the series. But who should the Rangers root for?
It is in Rangers' fan nature to root against the Islanders no matter who they are playing, but are the New York Rangers ready to host the Washington Capitals in a round 2 match up? The Caps are a hot team right now, winning the last game 5-1 against the Isles and taking the last two games at the Coliseum to OT. Both Alex Ovechkin and Nicklas Backstrom have goals in three of the five games, Backstrom credited with a Power Play Goal as well. Good news about Washington is that they take some of the fewest penalties out of the teams left in Playoffs now meaning that the dreadful Rangers Power Play won't be seen much. Also, the Rangers beat the Caps three out of the four regular season games. The Rangers speed would be a great advantage against the Caps but Ovetchkin seems to hurt players when we play then, like Kevin Klein's arm injury on March 11, and we want to avoid any injuries in the post season.
If the Isles take the series against the Caps, it will be World War III in New York, with the Isles last season in the Coliseum and the New York Rangers journey to reclaim the cup. The Isles have played well against the Rangers in the regular season with three wins for the Isles and two for the Rangers during the five games they met. However, the last two games where the Rangers and Isles met, the Rangers played great and won. The Rangers are more than capable of beating the Isles but the Isles are equally as capable of bringing the series to seven. A round two series against the Isles would be great for location, being able to go to both home and away games turning both arenas into war zones. The best and worse thing about an Isles Rangers series would be the rivalry and history between the two teams. Yes, it's a great rivalry with great history and insanely intense arena atmosphere, but personally the battles between Rangers and Islander fans on twitter are already tense and frequent, I couldn't handle an entire series between the two.
The New York Rangers need to handle the Pens tomorrow and close out the series before looking ahead to any round two teams, but which ever team they face, the New York Rangers are capable of beating any team when they focus and play the way we know the boys can.

Newton's laws of motion consist of three physical laws that form the basis for
classical mechanics. They describe the relationship between the forces acting on
a body and its motion due to those forces. They have been expressed in several
different ways over nearly three centuries,[1] and can be summarized as follows:
1. First law: Every body remains in a state of rest or uniform motion (constant
velocity) unless it is acted upon by an external unbalanced force.
This means that in the absence of a non-zero net force, the center of mass of a body
either remains at rest, or moves at a constant speed in a straight line.
2. Second law: A body of mass m subject to a force F undergoes an acceleration
a that has the same direction as the force and a magnitude that is directly
proportional to the force and inversely proportional to the mass, i.e., F = ma.
Alternatively, the total force applied on a body is equal to the time derivative
of linear momentum of the body.
3. Third law: The mutual forces of action and reaction between two bodies
are equal, opposite and collinear. This means that whenever a first body exerts a
force F on a second body, the second body exerts a force −F on the first body.
F and −F are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. This law is sometimes
referred to as the action-reaction law, with F called the "action" and −F the
"reaction". The action and the reaction are simultaneous.


text: MOVIES Christopher and His Kind: Film Review 3:13 PM PDT 6/26/2011 by Kirk Honeycutt FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME A low-budget and unimaginative rehash of author Christopher Isherwood's experiences in '30s Germany when "Berlin meant boys" but also meant Nazis. TWITTER This British TV film about decadent Berlin of the early '30s as experienced by English writer Christopher Isherwood is essentially a watered down Cabaret without the music. The British TV film Christopher and His Kind indulges in naughty glimpses of decadent Berlin of the early '30s as experienced by English writer Christopher Isherwood, who would later, of course, memorialize those hedonistic days in stories that became the source material for Cabaret. But the film never gets to the beating heart of either its complex protagonist or the milieu that gave rise to Nazism. In other words, this is a watered down Cabaret without the music or the scathing look at a nation on the brink of madness. The film, which had its North American premiere at the Los Angeles Film Fest, may play at further festivals since the recent film version of Isherwood's novel A Single Man has sparked renewed interest in the author. It would appear to have little theatrical potential although the telefilm could wind up in adult cable or VOD. Kevin Elyot bases his screenplay on Isherwood's memoirs, written in the mid-'70s, which more or less recount the real-life characters and episodes that were the basis for his Berlin Stories. There is no way this material can be fresh any more as these events have been hashed over in both Isherwood's novel and memoirs, two movies — I Am a Camera and Bob Fosse's great Cabaret—plus the Broadway musical. Matt Smith gives a mannered performance as young Christopher, wide-eyed with barely contained delirium at the thriving underground gay scene in Berlin with its rent boys and cheap nightclubs, so wonderfully different than the repressive English society he has abandoned. Perhaps Smith is mimicking the older author seen in interviews and other old file footage but the fussiness of his performance is a distraction. In his gloriously sleazy boarding house, Christopher meets virtually the entire cast of Cabaret: an aging queen (Toby Jones) with a penchant for bad wigs, masochistic encounters and dangerous espionage; English "singer-actress" Jean Ross (Imogen Poots, in the film's best performance), clearly the inspiration for Isherwood's immortal Sally Bowles; and the philosophical and tolerant German landlady (Clare Louise Connolly), who shrugs off the Nazis' grab for power. Elyot and director Geoffrey Sax adopt clumsy devises to illustrate the emerging persona of the expatriate author reinterpreting his experiences in fiction. These include Christopher carefully writing down the "colorful" dialogue just heard in conversation—meaning a viewer is now hearing it for a second time—or a character such as a Jewish department store magnate (Iddo Goldberg) giving Christopher a lecture on Hitler's political acumen in his manipulation of German resentment of the Versailles Treaty. Worse, the filmmakers keep cutting to the typing hands of an aging Christopher as he writes his memoirs in Los Angeles in 1976. Christopher's love affairs with the poet WH Auden (Pip Carter), a rent boy (Alexander Doetsch) and an innocent street sweeper (Douglas Booth) he will eventually try to save, unsuccessfully, from the Nazis show him oddly in both a callow and careless light. He shrugs off Auden's genuine love for him, honestly believes a relationship is possible with an escort and wills himself to fall in love with a man from a lower class only to betray that love by writing about it in his memoirs. Christopher even remains pretty blind to Germany's alarming descent into chaos until Jean and his boyfriend's Nazi brother make him painfully aware of the dangers. You wonder if the filmmakers realize how negative this portrait of an artist as a young, self-centered man truly is. The film is further hampered by its backlot look, with locations in Northern Ireland badly replicating 1930s Germany and low-rent sets for the nightclub and gay bar scenes.

|Canadian Cardiovascular Society classification of effort angina: an angiographic correlation.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 15024299 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|BACKGROUND: The Canadian Cardiovascular Society classification (CCSC) remains the standard for grading angina in patients with chronic stable angina. The utility value of this angina grading system in predicting the severity of coronary artery disease is not clear. AIM: We studied the relationship between the clinical angina grade and the angiographic severity of underlying coronary artery disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The participants in the study were 493 patients with stable angina who had undergone coronary angiography from 1998 to 2001. They were grouped according to their anginal grading and the number of vessels diseased. Significant lesions were defined as 50% narrowing for the left main and 70% for the left and right coronaries and their major branches. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: The chi2-test was used for statistical analysis and a P-value <0.05 was taken as significant. RESULTS: There was no significant difference between the four angina class patients and the incidence of single-, double- and triple-vessel involvement. Class 1 patients had less left main trunk disease than class 4 patients. Class 3 and 4 patients had significantly fewer normal coronary angiograms. CONCLUSIONS: There is generally little correlation between coronary artery disease and the CCSC of effort angina except for left main disease. Presence or absence of angina rather than the CCSC should indicate the need for coronary angiography.

Former Vikings punter Chris Kluwe announced his intentions to file suit against the Minnesota Vikings at his press conference Tuesday morning.
Updated: July 15th, 2014 11:58am
By: Daniel House
At a press conference this morning, Chris Kluwe announced his intentions to file suit against the Minnesota Vikings if they don't release the investigative reports.
A former Vikings punter, Kluwe brought allegations against the Vikings six months ago claiming that special teams coach Mike Priefer had made homophobic attacks on him as a member of the team in 2012. The team then launched an internal investigation before reportedly informing Kluwe on Monday that they would not be releasing their investigations' final report to Kluwe or the public.
"Sweeping it under the rug and keeping the report private does not help," Kluwe explained during his press conference.
Kluwe's officials says they know it has been substantiated that Priefer made a "nuke the gays" statement and Priefer admitted. Priefer was supposedly interviewed three times and "finally told the truth the final time", according to Kluwe's attorney. Vikings GM Rick Spielman was also mentioned and Kluwe's attorney claimed he knew about the allegations, as well.
"The Vikings are not above the law, but they appear to be acting as they are," said Kluwe's attorney Clayton Halunen.
They also claimed the Vikings are unwilling to release the investigative report to Kluwe's team or the general public.
"At no time during the July 14 meeting did Madel, Magnuson, or Robbins tell Halunen that the Vikings "would not provide a copy of the report to either Kluwe or the public"
Kluwe and his legal team plan to meet with the Vikings on Thursday to discuss action.
"We would like to resolve this out of court if we can," explained Halunen.
The Vikings and Kluwe's team reportedly were discussing a settlement, of which $1 million would be contributed to LGBT causes. Halunen indicated they are far away from reaching an agreement and a lawsuit seems to be the next step.
Kluwe's legal team is still deciding whether this trial will take place at the state level, but they have established the basis for lawsuit. They will claim Defamation, Religious Discrimination, Tortuous interference with contractual relations, and Retaliatory termination.
The Vikings released a statement prior to the press conference, announcing that the investigation had not yet been completed.
"Since Chris Kluwe's allegations first appeared in Deadspin on January 2, 2014, the Minnesota Vikings have taken them very seriously, which is why the team immediately retained former Chief Justice of the Minnesota Supreme Court Eric Magnuson and former U.S. Department of Justice Trial Attorney Chris Madel, two partners of Robins, Kaplan, Miller & Ciresi, L.L.P. (RKMC), to perform an independent review of these allegations. Magnuson and Madel were asked to thoroughly and comprehensively investigate three particular allegations by Kluwe and Kluwe's counsel:
1) Special Teams Coordinator Mike Priefer made offensive and insensitive remarks in Kluwe's presence.
2) Representatives of the Vikings had knowledge of these comments prior to the Deadspin article publication on January 2, 2014.
3) Kluwe's activism was the reason for his release from the Vikings on May 6, 2013.
Magnuson, Madel and others spent nearly six months conducting an exhaustive investigation. After the Vikings were given the investigative materials from Magnuson and Madel, in order to further maintain objectivity and integrity, the team engaged a nationally-prominent law firm – Littler Mendelson P.C. – to evaluate employment law matters and provide findings and recommendations to the Vikings. Those recommendations are to be provided to the team this week.
As Magnuson and Madel confirmed today, the Vikings have never made or broken promises as Kluwe and his attorney Clayton Halunen have claimed. The Vikings have also never engaged in the various comments that Kluwe and Halunen have provided to the media over the past six months. This Thursday, July 17, the team has a meeting scheduled between Halunen and Vikings attorneys to discuss next steps
As we have consistently communicated throughout this process, the Vikings will have further comment when the investigation is entirely complete and the team has made determinations on next steps."
The Vikings organization will be under pressure over the coming weeks to handle this issue and release the facts. All of this comes just eight days before the Vikings report to training camp in Mankato, MN. Stay tuned for the latest details, as Kluwe and his legal team prepare to file a lawsuit against the Vikings organization.

Enaam leads S1 champs on drop scores despite penalty…
Enaam came away from Round 4 of
the National S1 Championship at GYG,
North Wales, leading the series by 6
points on drop scores, due to a
second place finish in Final 1, but was
controversially excluded from Final 2
following a collision on the final corner.
It was a weekend that promised so
much but failed to deliver, as the 12
year old demonstrated blistering pace
in testing, up to 0.4s faster than his
rivals, Enaam was clearly in the zone.
Qualifying 5th in group was a
disappointment, as his race tyres
didn't offer as much grip and the team
had to quickly adapt the set up.
Enaam convincingly won his first heat,
laying down the gauntlet to his
Championship rivals. In his second
heat he finished 5th, placing him 3rd
on the grid for the first Final.
The Fusion driver once again showed
his desire to win, immediately
storming to the front. He tried to
make the break with his team mate
Josh Smith, but was joined by 4 other
drivers, for an intense lead swapping
battle. Enaam held the advantage
onto the last lap, but was tapped wide
with 4 corners to go and dropped to
an eventual 2nd place finish.
In Final 2, Enaam was shoved wide at
turn 1 and dropped to 5th, but, in
determined mood picked off his rivals
to get back to the front of the 10 kart
The lead changed hands countless
times in one of the best races of the
season, but on to the last lap it was
Enaam ahead, he defended well, but
was hit wide by Dean MacDonald half
way round, dropping to 4th. He
recovered in the final 3 corners to
make a move for 2nd but as he was
forced on to the kerb on the final
corner; he bounced off and made
contact with MacDonald. The Fusion
driver dropped to 6th but was later
excluded for the move as he was
judged to have been outside the track
limits. Enaam will now drop that
round, leaving him ahead on dropped
scores with 6 rounds to go.

Mark Severance is Science Cheerleader's Space Guy and he has been a Space Guy all of his life. A NASA engineer at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Mark has spent most of his career in Mission Control Center-Houston as a Flight Controller for the Space Shuttle and International Space Station. He has had a life-long interest in spaceflight and views the space program as a catalyst for engaging minds of all ages in a deeper understanding of science, engineering, technology and mathematics.
Mark grew up in the Apollo years and had a keen interest in all things space while growing up. As a teenager he was invited to be a student member of the Kettering Group, an international network of student and adult amateur observers who studied Soviet and Chinese satellites and space missions through radio tracking and analysis of telemetry & Cosmonaut voice signals. His satellite tracking proved to be a life directing force, launching his interest and studies in Electronics, Physics and Russian language. He holds Bachelor's degrees in Electrical Engineering & Physics, with minors in Russian and Math and a Master's in Physical Science with a concentration in orbital mechanics.
In addition to his work as Space Shuttle and Space Station Flight Controller, Mark was also a NASA Operations Lead in Mission Control Center-Moscow early in the space station program and when NASA had Astronauts working onboard the Russian space station Mir. He also worked in NASA's Office of Education where he started a project to develop educational activities experiments for the International Space Station. He is currently an engineer and manager in a space communications lab at the Johnson Space Center in Houston.
When not doing space stuff, Mark enjoys working out, watching (sometimes rather emotionally) the Dallas Stars, Dallas Cowboys and Houston Texans, gourmet cooking & dining and listening to jazz while driving his Corvette. He and his wife Barbara, who once was his instructor for Space Shuttle computer systems, live with their two Brittanys Wernher von Braun & Heidi in League City, just outside of Houston.
Mark will be leading some exciting, new SciCheer space projects linked to our sister-site SciStarter.

the preharvest removal of leaves from plants to facilitate the mechanical harvesting of a crop. Defoliation is accomplished through the use of chemical agents (defoliants) that stimulate processes in plants similar to those taking place during the natural aging of leaves. Spraying cotton with defoliants after one to three bolls have opened stimulates the leaves to fall and hastens the ripening of the unopened bolls. The defoliation of ornamental plants, fruit trees, and plants of the genus Eucommia also produces good results.

Price Wins 10th Anniversary Detriot Cup
Competitive monohull match race sailing is alive and well here in Detroit at the 10th Anniversary International Match Race Regatta for the Detroit Cup
Sunday, 27 August 2017, Detroit, MI -- In a 3-1 performance in the Semi-Finals against Will Boulden (AUS) and 3-0 score in the Finals against Ryan Seago (USA), Harry Price (AUS) and his team of Murray Jones and Cameron Seagreen have successfully defended their title at the 10th Anniversary International Match Race Regatta for the Detroit Cup.
This was an impressive show of match racing talent by the to both the competitive field of 8 teams from 5 nations, as well as the crowds on shore of the event's host, Bayview YC. In conditions that ranged from light and fluky to moderate over the four days of competition on equally-matched Ultimate 20's, and all the while sailing in the strong currents of the Detroit River, Price and his Sydney-based DownUnder Racing team from the Cruising YC of Australia dominated the field, with only 2 losses in 21 matches in the first stage triple Round Robin.
The win makes Price the only two-time winner in the history of the event, and will help solidify the team's current 6th place ranking in the World Sailing Match Race Ranking List.
"It was a great pleasure to come back to sail at Bayview," said Price, "and on behalf of the team we want to thank everyone for their incredible hospitality and support for this event."
"The level of excitement and close racing out here this week certainly exceeded what we saw in the America's Cup," said Hans Brieden, Commodore of Bayview YC. "Our Board met the other day, and we are dedicated to continuing to support this event so long as there is interest in match race sailing."
The Detroit Cup was the second stage of three events in the 2017 USA Grand Slam Series, with the next being later this week at the Oakcliff Sailing Center in Oyster Bay, NY.
Final Results, 2017 Detroit Cup:
1. Harry Price (AUS)
2. Ryan Seago (USA)
3. Will Boulden (AUS)
4. Pearson Potts (USA)
5. Chris Poole (USA)
6. Andrei Nikolaev (RUS)
7. Daniel Gill (IRL)
8. Sylvain Escurat (FRA)

At the end of term 3 we were fortunate enough to be able to participate in the North Canterbury Kapa Haka festival. Once again this was an opportunity for us to showcase our skills. We were ably led by Maaka Tua , our Kapa Haka tutor.
School Musical: "The Power of Yet"
This term our whole school has been working on a school production. This musical is based around the Curtain family who discover the power of the word Yet. Three children discover how powerful this word is by playing several board games. Each class has been responsible for creating a scene based around one of these games. Kauri's scene was based on the board game, Trivial Pursuit.
We have all had lots of fun practising for this production and have learnt a variety of skills along the way. Huge thank you to everyone who have supported our show. Check out some of out photos below.
Once our school speech finals were completed those of us who had gained a first or second place in our year level, became eligible to compete in the Quad Schools' final. The four schools are North Loburn, Loburn, Ashley and Sefton. This competition is an opportunity to showcase our skills to a wider community. North Loburn school did very well this year. In Kauri, two of our year six boys were placed first and third respectively. Harry spoke about Jimmy Butler and Charley spoke about being active.
Y4-8 Take the Floor presentations
Y4-8 Take the Floor Presentations
Congratulations to all our wonderful Year 4 to 8 speakers in our school " Take the Floor" presentations. This year we used the same format as last year, whereby the students could use extra aids to enhance their presentation. The theme, The Power is Within Us, allowed the students to talk about their passions. The variety of topics was huge and demonstrated the diverse interest of our pupils.
The results from our class were as follows:
Year 5
1st= Lily Cook and Eliza Caughley
Year 6
1st Charley Ward, 2nd Harry Witt, 3rd Ella Malone, 4th Eva Murphy
Kapa Haka
For the first time ever our school participated in the Cultural Festival in Christchurch. Our Kapa Haka team of 47 Year 4 to 8 pupils, led by Maaka Tau, performed extremely well. Not only were we complimented on our performance on stage but off stage as well. It was a huge community effort to get us there and we would like to thank everyone involved. This was an incredible experience and we were very lucky to get this opportunity. Huge thank you to Richard Connelly for these wonderful photos.
STAR Jam
This week we have been fundraising for STAR Jam. This is an organisation that helps New Zealanders who are living with a disability. StarJam believes this is something that can be changed. Through music and performance workshops, StarJam reaches many of these young New Zealanders and provides opportunities for them to explore their talents, gain new skills and build confidence to try new things. Over the years, StarJam's impact on Jammers (our young people) and their families has been phenomenal – inspiring self-belief and a sense of belonging, often for the very first time, resulting in a new zest for life and hope for the future. For many, StarJam has been a life-transforming experience.
During our school day, some of us chose to have our faces painted and later on in the afternoon the whole school participated in 30 minutes of Jump Jam. The teachers even dressed up as Bob, while they danced to Bob the Builder music.
Kapa Haka
This year our Y4-8 pupils have been given the option to be part of the Christchurch Kapa Haka festival. Many of us have taken up this option and have been practising hard. Maaka Tua, Norm and Michelle have been tutoring us and we have learnt a tremendous amount. Thanks to an very busy and willing community we have also had new Kapa Haka uniforms made for us. We performed for our school and Ashley school on Monday and now can'bank not wait for the Christchurch festival on 18 August.
Tali's Summit Challenge
Tali, one of our class members, decided he would like to complete a Summit Challenge by teaching the class a new skill. As we were looking at Geometry shapes in Maths he thought it would be a good opportunity to show us how to make a very complicated shape. This was a real challenge and one or two mastered it. However he did not give up and also taught us to make a simple cube . Many of us were very successful at this. Check out our shapes below.
St Johns
St Johns visited our school to teach us some basic first aid. We learnt: some basic bandaging, how to care for patients with hypothermia and what to do in a variety of emergency situations. Paula Hart, the St Johns' instructor was excellent.

The Indian Institute of Petroleum and Energy (IIPE) has recently been established in Vishakhapatnam. The deemed university has signed an MoU with IIT-Kharagpur at the Andhra University on 30th June. IIT-Kharagpur will be mentoring the newly established institute for the next three years. IIT's mentorship will be to provide support and will act as an advisor till IIPE has its fully functional campus of its own ready.
IIPE will start its operations from August 1 in Andhra University College of Engineering, which will be the temporary campus.
The MoU were exchanged between IIPE's special officer, Mr. V.S Shenoy and Prof. Sunanda Dasgupta of IIT-Kharagpur in the presence of District Collector N. Yuvaraj, Joint Secretary of Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas Sushma Rath, AU Registrar V. Umamaheswara Rao, Advisor of Academics and Director (in-charge) of IIPE V.S.R.K. Prasad and other officials from AU and HPCL.
IIT- Kharagpur will aim to support in recruiting faculty, designing curriculum and offering teaching assistance. IIT-K will also jointly take up research in association with the industry. Three departments of IIT-Kharagpur – chemical engineering, mining and geology – would be directly cooperating with the IIPE.
IIPE will be the hub of excellence and will play a key role in research and development in assisting the industry in meeting the energy needs. The institute will focus on existing exploration and will tap on un-explored research areas. IIPE is aiming to reduce the dependence on foreign technology for conducting these researches.
IIPE is supported financially, academically and quality industry-academia interface by oil majors like HPCL, IOCL, ONGC, GAIL, OIL, OIDB, BPCL and Ministry of Industry and Commerce. The government is funding Rs. 655 crore as capital for the institute.
IIPE's new campus will be ready in the next three years on the 150 acres of land allotted by the State Government in Sabbavaram.

So I headed to Austin this weekend for the notorious South by Southwest film/ music/ interactive conference, where the world's hippest and geekiest self-proclaimed techie heads in their skinny jeans, derby hats and Ipads all jetted in. It is such a huge event that every flight to Austin was oversold and every hotel was booked.
I became one of those oversold people, whose ticket type on American Airlines didn't deserve a seat nor was I allowed to standby on an earlier flight unless I shelled out $50 – which my company would have paid, but out of principle I refused. My favorite is when the gate agent tells you your ticket type is the wrong kind, as if it was something personal and that I had purposely chosen this particular ticket type (W instead of Q, none of which mean anything to me). In any case, my ticket type was so low on the alphabet and therefore my status as a human being diminshed greatly that I didn't get my seat until I arrived in Austin.
Meanwhile, the gate was giving away travel vouchers worth $300 if you volunteered to give up your seat for a later time. I was really in no rush to get to this conference and I would have welcomed the free ticket, which I would get to keep, not my office.
I've heard and read how easy it is for airlines to hand out free vouchers, and how difficult it is for passengers to redeem these vouchers for an actual flight. Just recently, American was slapped with a penalty for charging its passengers a $30 fee to use a voucher. a $30 fee!! The audacity some airlines have! They oversell their own flights and then charge people whse original flight they couldn't even honor. Blech.
However, 've used one voucher ever, and that was with United Airlines. They were kind after a delay from mechanical difficulty to hand them out to frustrated passengers. I used ours promptly to book a flight to a wedding in LA.
Vouchers are usually handed out on oversold flights, so if you're really looking to score them and you have lots of free time on your hands, travel on the really busy times of the day – Friday afternoons, Sunday evenings, during conferences and popular events, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Easter weekend – those will usually do the trick.
You will always be placed first on the next available flight with open seats. If you're really good, you can volunteer to get off the next flight and earn yourself another free seat somewhere.
Make sure you use your ticket within a year. Most expire after a year is up.
If you get bumped from a late flight and have to stay in a hotel or over a meal, ask for a voucher or how to get your meal and/ or hotel covered by the airline.
Now I arrived in Austin and the meeting I needed to go to doesn't even start until 3:30, so I technically could have taken the voucher and hopped on a 2:00 flight from Dallas. Next time…
