The gunmen also torched classrooms during the attack on Yobe State College of Agriculture in the far north-east of the country, officials said.
The incident follows a spate of similar attacks by the al-Qaeda linked extremist group, who have become notorious for attacks on schools and universities, which it regards as a symbol of Western culture.
Boko Haram, whose name means "Western education is a sin", has carried out gun and bomb attacks across Nigeria's mainly Muslim north and the capital, Abuja, killing thousands of people since 2009 in its campaign to establish an Islamic state in Nigeria.
Yobe State, where the agricultural college is located, is one of three currently under military control after President Goodluck Jonathan declared a state of emergency throughout the north-east of the country in mid-May following an escalation in violence.
Military spokesman Lazarus Eli confirmed that the attack was carried out by "Boko Haram terrorists", who entered the school and opened fire on sleeping students at around 1.00am on Sunday.
The gunmen appeared to know the layout of the college, a survivor said, attacking the four male dormitories but avoiding the one reserved for female students.
Molima Idi Mato, the college's provost, confirmed that the school's other 1,000 enrolled students have fled the college. "They attacked our students while they were sleeping in their hostels, they opened fire at them," he said.
Eighteen wounded students have been transferred to a nearby hospital, according to another Nigerian military official.
The incident follows an attack by Islamist militants on a school in the nearby village of Mamudo in July, in which at least 42 people were killed.

Iraq war experiences from those who were there.
"Sgt. J.B. Walker," the "author" of this absorbing, dramatically vivid chronicle, is a pen-named collective effort by American soldiers fighting in Iraq. Originally self-published, the narrative is comprised of candid emails assembled once the group returned to American soil and encompasses much more than its original intent to detail "the simple charms of soldiering." With exacting scrutiny, many of the unnamed authors share the stark realities and myriad complications of counterinsurgency efforts. Each of the five sections delves deeply into the multilayered aspects of military duty: the culture shock from intercepting violence, soldiering with a concussion, profiling jihadist militants, the inexplicability of suicide bombing and the silent suffering of innocent Iraqi women and children. Most affective are the personal accounts, ranging from the poignant to the humorous. Individual narration of violent conflicts and meticulously rendered scenes of armed tactical maneuvering are tempered by the soldiers' first-person depiction of fearless Iraqi civilians demonstrating resistance to cutthroat guerrilla movements. Expertly archived and originally written for military audiences, this confluence of warfare experiences is sure to garner widespread attention, with the publishing proceeds directed to charities serving military families, "the unacknowledged soldiers of any war."
A bracing cooperative effort taking readers as close to war as humanly possible.

A teenager from Ohio became the youngest person to ever create an electric vehicle. Deitrich Ludwig from Monclova, Ohio, managed to construct a 2000 Chevrolet S-10 pickup electric truck, thus become the youngest person on the planet to boast such an achievement.
The young man replaced the gas engine with an eco-friendly electric drive train. He got rid of the four-cylinder engine, radiator and exhaust system to be able to mount a DC electric motor, control system, battery charger and a pack of batteries.
As soon as Deitrich completed his first test ride, he decided to make a few more improvements, looking forward to cut the time required for the vehicle to charge and upgrade the performance of the electric truck, reports World Record Academy. To be able to achieve his new goals, Deitrich, aka Deke, decided to collaborate with schools, student groups and Green New Earth, organization with headquarters in Chicago that will fund the teen's efforts.

I knew by today we would be tired mountain hiking and would need a bit of a break from the trail. However, we knew from past mountain hikes in Utah,Tennessee, and Sedona that sitting and doing nothing only makes the pain prolong itself so we had a plan.
Our third day we checked out of the Salem, VA hotel and drove the popular scenic drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway all the way to the Shenandoah National Park and then continued onward via the Skyline Drive through the entire park.Gorgeous…..simply gorgeous once again.
Again, like the day we traveled to hike Sharp Top Trail, we saw numerous bear hunters lining the road all along this route. And this is where I saw my first 2….yes 2 wild bears ever! Exciting I tell you….and wow can they run fast…..I was amazed.
We drove for 6 hours this day ending at a trail head we choose to hike to stretch our legs before heading to our next hotel in Winchester, VA. Hotels near the park are an enormous amount of money…and I am cheap…so this worked out very well. The trail we choose was the Compton Gap Trail.
According to the sign it was a 2.4 mile trail but we clocked a bit over this.
The parking for this trail was easily located if you follow the map given to you at the entrance of the park. Parking was sufficient and the actual tail starts on the opposite side of the street.
This trail is also part of the AT as was McAfee Knob so you will follow the white blazes you see in the trees until you reach the post marker directing you to then follow the blue blazes to the overlook.
The trail itself offered a bit of everything. Flat dirt, rocks, and boulders you weave through once again. There seems to be a pattern to Virginia hiking.
The overlook is easily located since the trail simply comes to an end.
On this trail you head down the same way you hiked up.
My opinion of this trail is its a nice short trail for families. Not too steep and not too rocky like others if you have the proper footwear for hiking. It was a great choice for us to have a bit of time on the trail and out of the vehicle.
My opinion of the Blue Ridge Parkway is it's gorgeous. We traveled it early in the morning until mid afternoon and had no problems with traffic. That being said, I can only imagine with fall colors and mid summer it could get a bit crazy. NOTE: There are NO gas stations on the parkway so fill your tank before you travel it.

Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.
17 Apr
This was our first visit to Jolli Mon's Grill in Dunedin. Luckily, we weren't there for the live music as the band finally showed up as we were leaving. The patio was full nonetheless, so we grabbed a table inside. The bar area filled up quickly with people watching the Rays/Red Sox game.
The restaurant had all the typical island decor. Palm trees, tropical fish, mermaids, and pirates decorated the walls.
Loren started out with a salad and I got a cup of crab chowder.
The mango poppyseed dressing on the salad was kind of sweet, whereas the chowder had a peppery flavor that wasn't exactly pepper. We couldn't figure out exactly what spice it was. It was a really thick chowder, lots of crab in it.
Loren ordered the mahi fish tacos.
It was three tacos, but he wasn't really impressed. The mahi had been pre-cooked and was cold and the tortillas didn't taste fresh either.
I got a Scallywag burger with gouda and a side of mac and cheese.
The burger was pretty good. It had a lot of onions and mushrooms, though the onions were really strong. I ordered it medium and it came out more of a medium rare, but still had good flavor. The mac and cheese wasn't very creamy, but it tasted good.
Overall, dinner was just ok. The food and service didn't wow us enough to make us say we need to go back again. Total bill was $27.

minute survey, crept away about 7 or 8 ft. off and sat down wkh its back to the snake. The other cat, a white one, now caught sight tif the strange object, and, in a like stealthy manner, advanced to within a few inches of the gauze, and was in the act of examining the cobra, when my friend, to see the result ot a suIden sound—for up to this time we had both been still as mice—moved hit feet on the gravel. Had the effect been due to electricity, it would not hare been more instantaneous, nor more startling. At the first grate of the pebbles the white cat flung himself backwards, tumbling—to use expressive terms— 'heels over head" and "allofaheap "for about a couple of yards; whilst the black cat shot vertically upwards to somewhere near four feet in height, the impulse given by the spring of his hind legs being sufficient to throw these and his tail higher than his head.
Now both these cats are tame, and bold to such a degree that they reign supreme over all thj dogs in the house, so that thetr great timidity on this occasion was evidently due to a perception of danger. I have since found, however, that all snakes are not equally feared by them. They will let the harmless green tree snake (Fasstrtia mycterizans) twine round them without showing any signs of repugnance, and soaie other harmless snakes receive but little notice fro n them. Why is this? Is it that the hood of the cobra renders it so frightful an object, or have the cats in their nocturnal wanderings been struck at by cobras? Such is possible, for we know that in nine cases out of ten the strike is made without intention to exert the deadly power of the fangs. I believe indeed that unless irritated by an attacking enemy, or to secure active prey such as rats, &c, the cobra never strikes viciously. Experience of the ease with which ill fangs are drawn an i its helplessness without them would teach it to be careful of them.

Earthquake in New Guinea
When crossing the main land of New Guinea, from theG;elvinks Biy in the north, to the south coast, I slept on the night of the 12th to the 13th of June, 1S73, in the swamps of the MacCluer Gait (famous for trie murder of some of the crew and the ship's-doctor of H.M.S. Panth-.r and Endeavour, Capt. MacCluer, ia 1791, and by the attack on Signor Cerruti, the Italian traveller, several years ago). About 2 A.m. ol the 13th I awoke, in consequence of a rattling noise like that ol gun-shooting. I roused my six Malay companions, who slept around me in a small native prouw, seized my guns, and listened to what would follow. But nothing happened. It was unintelligible to me what had been the cause of this noise, the natives of these parts having no guns, so far as 1 knew, and even il they had intended an attack, would not announce then' arrival by firing their guns, instead of approaching in silence. Oa the other hand, when sleeping in a virgin forest like that which bordered these swamps, crashing noises from falling trees and from animals breaking down rjtten branches often occur, but never so many together.
Nothing more being heard we fell asleep again. At about 4 A.M. the same thing happened once more. 1 remained awake. At dawn the Papooas, whom I had brought with me from the north coast—ten men—came back to my resting-place ; they had left me, to sleep apart, had heard the noise, but could njt understand it cither.
When on the 13th I came back to Papooan houses at the River Takasi, which falls into the MacCluer Gulf—a mimi'e description of which will be published very soon in " Petcrmann's Mitlheilungen "—I heard the account of a heavy earthquake, which had taken place the night bef ire ; this of course explaining the noises we had heard: many trees having broken down at the same moment in consequence of the movement of the grjund. We did nat fee! the earthquake in our small boat, because it lay entirely in the swamp, which had not propagated the shock.
On the 1SU1 I was back at my little schooner, which was at anchor in the Geelvinks Bay, near a place called Passim. The earthquake had been felt here at the same time, accompanied by heavy underground thunder, and I could make out that thedirection had been N.W. to S.E.
After some days I came to a place just at the foot of the so much spoken of Arfak Mountains, called Audai; the earthquake had been heavy here, and even more shocks were felt on the following day. The direction had been W. E. Several native houses, built on very high poles near the slope of a hill, were
destroyed, the Papooas (Arfaks) still frightened and of opinion that the earthquake had been " made" by their enemies, another tribe on the mountains.
But in the Bay of Dorey, which has so often been visited by expeditions to New Guinea and by naturalists, where I arrived a fortnight later, the shocks appeared to have been the heaviest. All the Papooas in the different settlements there were living on shore in small shelters or huts, hastily erected, whereas they are known always to live in those large houses on the water s> often described. Several of these large houses had broken down, and the natives were still very much frightened ; they would not remove into their houses on the water. On the island of Manaswari (Vtansinam), in the Bay of Dorey, the seat of a missionary, the shocks had been from S.W. to N. E. I afterwards sought information about the extent of this earthquake, and male out that it was felt at Amberbaki, on the North coast of New Guinea, at Salwatti, the island in the North-west, and on the island of Tobie, in the east. The centre had been undoubtedly 01 the Arfak Mountains. Light earthquakes sometimes occur in New Guinea, heavy ones seldom. The destruction by the last heavy one in 1S64 could even be seen by me in 1873 along the seashore from Dorey to Wariab, and up the Arfak Mojntains, in the south of the bay of Dorey. Volcanic eruptions in these parts are not known or recorded from earlier times. But one of the tops of these mountain chains bears in the native language the name of "Fire Mountain," and some of my hunters pretended to have seen on one of their excursions (some thousands of feet high) the ground split open quite fresh, in consequence ot the earthquake, as they believed.
This earthquake has not been felt in Halmabeira and the Molukkos Islands, where shocks occurred some weeks afterwards, so that the convulsions, referred to above, appear to have been local ones in New Guinea. Dr. A. B. Meyer
Sensitive Flames at the Crystal Palace Concerts
Last Saturday, Jan. 31, at the Crystal Palace, while Mr. Vernon Rigby was singing Beethoven's "Adelaida," I heard what I thought was strangely out of place—an accompaniment to the song played on the highest notes of a violin, sometimes closely following the air note for note, at other times being onethird lower. I soon found that this proceeded from one or two sensitive gas jets, notwithstanding they were at the end of the winter concert-room farthest away from the orchestra. The very perfect manner in which they responded to every note, no matter how piano, was curious.
It happened that the gas pressure had just been increased. Had this occurred earlier the effect of Mdme. Normin-Neruda's fine performance of Mendelsohn's violin concerto would have been totally destroyed, as far as regarls a large part of the audience. This shows that it is a matter of no snnll importance in a concert-room to have the size and number of the gasburners properly proportioned to the gas supply.
King's College, Feb. 3 W. N. Hartley
THE metropolitan photographic journals contain evidence that th2 Photographic Society of London is menaced with revolution or dissolution. If both were to befall it, the interests of Science would hardly suffer,since a more singularly inefficient organisation, under the guise of a scientific body, it would hi difficult to find, or one whose results in the scientific world are so trivial.
It is difficult indeed to conceive that a society into whose hands, fautc dc mieux, the recognition and fostering of research in so important a branch of science as photography has fallen, should have done absolutely nothing for so many years but organise itself into a pocket borough in the direction of which no man of eminent scientific capacity takes part; which not only has no scientific reports or even investigations, but seems to care only to make of itself a weak mimicry of an ar; club the chief objects of which are to prove that a photographer ought to have a chance for the Royal Academy, to discuss the most effective style of getting up portraits to revive the trade demand, and to discuss such questions as to whether portraits may be re-touched or not, and whether the printing of a photograph from a half-dozen negatives, more or less, is to be regarded as a work of design or not.
It is not sufficient to put the names of two or three wellknown men of science on the council of a society if the society show no care for science; and if the Photographic Society can do nothing more to merit the nominal position which it holds (without filling it), it is time that it should retire and give place to another. Photography has now become one of the most important aids to research in many fields of Science; every new discovery which shall develop this assistance and make its efficiency more complete is of importance to the whole world—of an importance which makes it almost incredible that the Photographic Society should not only take no part in the investigations which would lead to discovery, but should never even take recognition of them even when made, while the petty jealousies of the dominant clique have driven out of the society most of the really capable and successful investigators who have ever been in it. If the efforts at reform now being made should lead to success and the society become what it should be, a scientific body, so much the better; but if not, it is time that some new organisation should be formed to take in hand seriously the exploration of the still untried fields of chemical research, and make Photography a real branch of Science, and not deal with it merely as an amusement or a trade.
ASTRONOMY IN THE ARGENTINE CONFEDERACY TAR. GOULD, the director of the new Observatory in ■*--' the Argentine Confederacy, continues to send encouraging accounts of the progress of the great astromical works that he has there undertaken. Having laboured to determine accurately the relative brightness of all the stars in the southern heavens visible to the naked eye, he announces that a few weeks will enable him to begin the preparation of this work for publication. Great care has been taken to make a thorough and accurate comparison of the results of the four assistants, and the rule has been to determine the brightness of all the stars down to the 73 magnitude, in order to make sure of losing none as bright as the seventh.
The labour ot the Uranometry was undertaken before the arrival of the large meridian instrument, and as soon as the latter was established (namely, on Sept. 9, 1872), the observations of the zones of all stars as bright as the ninth magnitude were commenced in earnest. Each night three zones are observed whose lengths average about one hundred minutes, the entire observations for the year occupying at least eight hours. The weather is described as having been exceedingly unfavourable for astronomical work during the winter and early spring, until March, April, and May of the present year, when magnificent opportunities were enjoyed. Dr. Gould states that he has observed in all during the p.ist year about fifty thousand stars, and considers that somewhat more than half of the work of observing is already finished.
Astronomers, however, know how great a labour of computation still awaits Dr. Gould and his assistants before his results can be put into that form which is most convenient for use. The photographic work undertaken by him at his own private expense has been prosecuted with all the success that could be expected with a broken lens. Finally, however, he concluded to bespeak another object-glass, which will be purchased for the use of the observatory; and the new lens having arrived in perfect order, he hopes before long to be able to resume his labours under better auspices.
The Cordoba Meteorological Bureau, established [at his urgent representation by the national Government,
has been organised and brought into working condition as rapidly as was practicable ; but as the instruments were necessarily ordered from foreign countries, not more than half of them had arrived at the latest advices. Dr. Gould has, however, had the gratification of finding :»o gentlemen who have each carried on an uninterrupted series of observations for some dozen years past—one in Buenos Ayres, and the other near the Patagonian frontier —and he has secured the co-operation of about nfiKB correspondents. The programme issued for the instruction of his observers differs apparently but little from that of the Smithsonian Institution, the hours of observation being seven, two, and nine, local time.

or tongue-bone. The tongue-bone of the frog 15, as we have seen, relatively far greater than is that of man, and the same may be said-lor the muscles attached to it> since we have no less than four muscles descending from the skull, and implanted into it, on each side. _ This fact might well be supposed to bear direct relation to the size and mobility of the frog's tongue. Th« organ in the frog and toad is singularly different from the tongues of most familiar animals, in that it is not free and moveable in front, but behind. These Batrachians take their food by suddenly throwing forwards, out" of the mouth, the free hinder end of the tongue. The inscr.t or other small animal struck by it, adheres to it, on account of a viscid saliva with which it is coated. The prey is then suddenly drawn into the mouth and swallowed.
Here then is a ready explanation of the development of the os-hyoides and its muscles. There is a difficulty however in that two toads already described, the Pips and the African form Dactylethra (Figs. 11 and 12), have no tongue whatever.
Moreover, there is another toad {Rhiuophrynus) which is even more exceptional in its order than these two; in that its tongue is not free behind, but, like that of ordinary vertebrates, in front (Fig. 13.)
The fact is, that the large tongue-bone of these animals serves, with the muscles attached to it, as much to facilitate respiration as nutrition.
It has already been said that the frog has no ribs by the elevation and depression of which it may alternately fill and empty its lungs. Neither does it possess that transverse muscular partition, the diaphragm, or midrif, which in man's class is the main agent in carrying on that function.
The lungs of the frog are inflated as follows:—The mouth is filled with air through the nostrils and kept shut while the internal openings of the nostrils are stopped by the tongue, and the entrance to the gullet is closed. Then, by the contraction of the muscles attached to it, the os-hyoides is elevated ; and every other exit from the mouth being closed, except that leading to the larynx, air is thus driven down the glottis into the lungs.
* Continued from p. 189. •
Thus for pulmonary respiration it is necessary to the frog to keep the mouth shut ; and in this way, but for the action of the skin, the animal might be choked by keeping its mouth open.
It has been already stated that the typical segmentation of the limbs is wanting in all fishes, but present in all Batrachians that have limbs at all. Similarly in all Batrachians that have limbs at all the muscles of those* limbs have essentially and fundamentally the same arrangement as in higher animals. In the higher animals, as in man, the muscles of the limbs belong to different categories named from the kinds of motion to which their contractions give rise.
Thus, when two bones are united by a moveable joint (as the thigh-bone and shin-bone) muscles which, by their contraction, tend to make the angle formed by such bones

(Tiic numbers indicate the digits to which the muscles belong.—No. I indicating the first digit or great too). ai<, abductors ; nd. adducli T ; fb, flexor brcvis; fp, flexorcs profurdi; /ph. flexorcs phalangium; op, kopponens muscles: tm, transverse muscles.
acute are termed "flexors.'' Those, on the contrary, which tend to open out such an angle are termed "extensors."
In the forearm of man, and allied animals, there are muscles which tend by their contraction to place the hand in a position either oi pronation or of supination.
When the arm and hand hang down, the palm being directed forwards, the position is that of supination, and the bones of the firearm are situate side by side.
When the arm and hand hang down, but the back of the hand is turned forwards, the position is that of pronation, and the radius crosses over the ulna. When we rest on the hands and knees, with the palms to the ground, the forearms are in pronation.
Muscles which tend to place the forearm and hand in the position of pronation are termed pronators; those which, by their contraction, tend to render it supine are called supinators.
It is somewhat surprising to find in an animal so nearly related to fishes as Menobronchus definite flexors, extensors, pro- and supi-nators essentially like those of
higher animals ; and these distinctions once established, persist up to man himself with increasing complications.
The muscular conformity between the highest and lowest of typically-limbed vertebrates is strikingly shown by the structure of the thigh and leg, the leading muscles of these parts in the frog being so like those of man that the practice of calling them by the same name is abundantly justified.
The perfection of man's hand has been justly the theme of panegyric, esteemed as widely as it is known. The delicacy and multiplicity of the motions of which it is capable are of course greatly due to the number and arrangement of the muscles with which it is provided.
One of the most important of these motions is that of the thumb as placed in opposition to the fingers, and effected by a muscle termed opponens pollicis.
An "opponens" muscle is one which passes from the bones of the wrist to one or other of the bones of the middle of the hand called metacarpals, and the opponens pollicis passes of course, as its name implies, to the metacarpal of the pollex or thumb.
No other finger of man's hand is furnished with such a muscle except the little finger, which possesses an opponens minimi digiti, passing from the wrist to the fifth metacarpal. The same condition obtains in the apes, though in them the opponens of the thumb is smaller and weaker than in man. Though the foot of man is furnished with many muscles, like the hand, yet not one of the toes is provided with an "opponens" or muscle, passing from the bones of the ankle to one or other of the bones of the middle of the foot, which latter are called metatarsals. The same is the case with the apes, except that the Orang-utan has a small "opponens ■ attached to the great toe.
This being premised, the foot of the Frog may well excite surprise as to its rich muscular structure. In addition to very numerous other muscles on both surfaces every one of the toes is provided with a separate opponens muscle, each having a muscle which passes from the bones of the ankle to its middle foot bone or metatarsal.
The question naturally occurs on beholding this prodigality of muscles—What special purpose is served by the Frog's foot? Surely mere jumping and swimming cannot require so elaborate an apparatus.
In fact, however, the Frog docs make use of his feet for a purpose requiring actions no less dexterous and delicate than nest-building.
In 1872 Dr. Gunther observed a Frog busily occupied, and industriously moving its hind legs in a singular manner. On approaching closely he found it had constructed for itself a shelter in the shape of a little bower, constructed of dexterously interwoven blades of grass. The circumstances have been kindly transmitted to the author by the observer, in a private letter, as follows :—
"The 'nest-building' Frog was a large example of Rana temporaria, or esculenta (I forget which), which I had brought into the garden behind my house. It had taken up its abode in grass, near the edge of a tank, from which the turf sloped abruptly to the level of the garden. When I first disturbed the Frog from its lair, I found that it had lain in a kind of nest, which I cannot better describe than by comparing it to the form of a hare, with the grass on the edges so arranged that it formed a sort of roof over it. Sometimes the animal returned to it, sometimes it prepared a new form close to the old one, which remained visible for several days until it was obliterated by the growing grass.
"When in its nest, nothing could be seen of the Frog but the head.
"One day I poked the Fiog out of its 1 lir; af'.er two or three jumps it returned to the old spot, and, squatting down on the grass, by some rapid movements of the hind legs it gathered the grass nearest to it, pressing it to its sides, and bending it over its body so as to be partially hidden.
"In all these operations no material was collected by the animal for its nest, but only the growing grass was either pressed down, or arranged so as to form a complete retreat.
"Unfortunately, the Frog soon disappeared altogether."
It is very probable that other functions, as yet unnoticed, may be performed by these members, since though the observation just above related is the first known observation of the kind, yet the manoeuvre recorded is no doubt a constant habit of the animal.
Doubtless, also, the very singular actions performed by the male Pipa and Obstetricans are performed by the help of the hinder extremities.
At the same time that the Frog shows so startling a resemblance in its leg muscles to higher animals, it shows

as striking a difference from the leg muscles of animals with which it is nearly allied,—namely, with those of its class-fellows, the Urodela.
In Reptiles we meet with a muscle which takes origin from beneath the joints of the tail, and is inserted with the thigh-bone, and which has no certain representation amongst mammals, and is called ihe/emorocauda/.
In the Urodela we also meet with a femoro caudal, but no such structure exists in the Anoura. This is not so surprising when we recollect the abortive condition of the tail of the Frog. It might, however, have been expected that in the Tadpole, during the co-existence of the tai with the hind legs, and while it thus externally resemble

T^E have now to consider the complementary side of the phenomena. A stratum of air, 3 miles thick, on a perfectly calm day, has been proved competent to stifle both the cannonade and the horn-sounds emoloyed at the South Foreland; while the observations just recorded, one and all, point to the
mixture of air and aqueous vapour as the cause of this extraordinary Dhenomenon. Such a mixture could fill the atmosphere with an impervious acoustic cloud on a day of perfect optical transparency. But, granting this, it is incredible that so gieat a body of sound could utterly disappear in so short a distance, without rendering any account of itself. Supposing, then, instead of placing ourselves behind the acoustic cloud, we were to place ourselves in front of it, might we not, in accordance with the law of conservation, expect to receive by reflection the sound which had failed to reach us by transmission? The case
[A tunnel 2 in, square, 4 ft. S in. long, open at both ends, and having a glass front, runs through the box a b. The space above and below is divided into cells opening into the tunnel by oblong orifices exactly corresponding vertically. Each alternate cell of the upper series—the 1st, 3rd, 5th, &c.—communicates by a tube (Jil) with the upper reservoir (g), its counterpart in the lower series having a free outlet into the air. In like manner the 2nd, 4th, 6th, &c, of the lower series of cells are connected with the lower reservoir (/) ; and each has its direct passage into the air through the cell immediately above it. The gas distriDutors are filled from both ends at the same time; the upper with carbonic acid gas, the lo^er with coal-gas, by branches from their respective supply pipes {/, /;). A well-padded box (/) opening upon the end of the tunnel forms alittle cavern, whence the sound-waves are sent forth by an electric bell. A few feet from the other end of the tunnel, in a direct line, is a sensitive flam; {/:), provided with a funnel as sound collector, and guarded from chance currents by a shade.
The bell was set ringing. The flame, with quick response to each blow of the hammer, emitted a sort of musical roar, so regular were its alternate shortenings and lengthenings as the successive sound-pulses reached it. The gases were then admitted. Twenty-five flat jets of coal gas ascended from the tubes below, and twenty-five cascades of carbonic acid poured down from the tubes above. That which was a homogeneous medium had now fifty limiting surfaces, from each of which a portion of the sound was thrown back. In a few moments these successive reflections became so effective that not a single sound-wave having sufficient power to affect a flame so sensitive as to be knocked down, crushed, as it were, by a chirrup, or jingle, at twenty feet distance, could pierce the clear, optically-transparent, but acoustically-opaque atmosphere in the tunnel. So long as the gases continued to flow, the flame remained perfectly tranquil. When the supply was cut off, the gases rapidly diffused into tbe air. The atmosphere of the tunnel became again homogeneous, and therefore acoustically transparent, and the flime bowed down to each sound-pulse as before. Alternate layers of common air and air saturated with various vapours produce the same effect]
would then be strictly analogous to the reflection of light from an ordinary cloud to an observer placed between it and the sun. My fir.-t c»re, in the early part of the day in question, was to assure myself that our inability to hear the sound did not arise from any derangement of the instruments. At one P.M. I was

rowed to the shore, and landed at the base 01 the South Foreland cliff. Ths body of air which had already shown such extraordinary power to intercept sound, and which manifested this power still more impressively later in the day, was now in front of us. On it the sonorous wave3 impinged, and from it they were sent back to us with astonishing intensity. The instruments, hidJcn from vi-;\v, were,on the summit of a cliff

The terms 'venture capital' and 'start-up company' are like bread and butter. But still the process seems to be mysterious to majority of entrepreneurs that we come across. Everyday new companies are born and for this same reason, entrepreneurs are facing many challenges in the market.
One of the biggest barriers of entry and the reason for many company's downfall is lack of business capital. This is resulting in a plethora of good business ideas not seeing day lights because the founders are incapable of getting the right people and money behind their business ideas.
In this background, venture capital is another finance option for entrepreneurs who are looking to grow and expand. Venture Capital (VC) is a method of business funding for companies through a form of equity investment where the investing companies get partial ownership or control in the invested companies through shares.
Typically 'venture capital' refers to 'investment funds' or 'partnerships through capitals' in promising start-ups and expanding companies. The term holds a broad definition in the commercial and financial sectors today.Venture Capital is different from buying out private equities of companies which is rather an investment in companies with proven track record and revenue which realises much higher rates of returns. Venture Capital therefore is a highly risky business and runs with a strategy of "high risk high return investment" and is also called 'risk capital'.
Venture Capital helps many budding companies with high potential in terms of management and products, but with limited operating history or those are too small to raise capitals in public markets or have not reached a point where they are able to secure a bank loan.
Typically, venture capital investments are made as cash in exchange for shares / stocks in the invested company and the venture capitalists get an ownership interest for the money invested. Beyond supplying the company with money, the venture capitalists (VCs) also provide assistance in business planning, bringing their industry knowledge and experience in growing businesses for taking the company public some day.
Most venture capital investments are done in pool formats where several investors combine their investments to a large fund and invest them in startup companies at different sectors. Venture capital thus coming from institutional investors and high net worth individuals is pooled together by dedicated investment firms. By investing in pools the venture capitalists are spreading out their risk.
Venture capitalists are generally former executives or investment bankers who have turned to raise private funds to make particular investments. Venture Capitalists concentrating particular segments for example, technology, form a group and invest their funds in that segments only.
Venture capitalists are generally interested in companies that are in early stages or those who have refined its business plan, or those who are starting to develop products and sales. Young companies with limited start-up capital, who wish to raise venture capital require a combination of multi qualities such as a well planned business model, potential for rapid growth and above all, an impressive management team.
In exchange for the high risk that venture capitalists assume by investing, VC's usually get significant control over company decisions, in addition to a significant portion of the company's ownership.
Points to be Taken Care of
An essential characteristic of a successful entrepreneur is the ability to raise business capital. It is not easy to sell your idea when so many competitive ideas exist and also many possible business funding partners may not share your business vision or enthusiasm.
So, beyond a business idea there should be a finished product, live client list, and a well defined need to pitch inVC. VC's may also fund companies with nothing more than an approximate business plan purely on the strength of the management team and the opportunity. Even if a start-up is not equipped with a core team, the enthusiasm, ambition, good ideas, persistence etc will be sufficient to pitch in a VC.
Equity investment companies get thousands of proposals on their desks every year. You need to make sure that you stand out from the pack and there is no better way of doing this than by doing your research on the venture capital firms that you wish to target before you send out your first funding request.
Venture capitalists tend to focus on particular industries and stages of company development. For instance some VC's specialise in technology companies, some others focus on start up while some may focus on well established companies. When conducting your research for venture capitalists, you should identify the venture capitalists who are specialised in your industry There is no point in banking on venture capitalists who are outside your business funding scope.
Earlier venture capitalists were willing to take long-term perspectives. But today, this is a very rare phenomenon. Most venture capitalists expect their returns within a very short period of time.
The average lifespan of a VC fund may be about a decade. So many of the investments in venture funds tend to incorporate high growth startup companies which creates a great deal of value within a short span.
Unlike a bank, venture capitalists are interested in getting a stake in the invested company, typically in the form of equity. A VC needs the company grow very quickly so they can convert their equity back into a much bigger pile of cash. Ideally VC's are looking for companies to move to an Initial Public Offering (IPO) or a buyout. At this point the stake in the company that the venture fund acquired will become worth far more than its original.
We should be clear that a VC's primary motive is to make money on their intended investment and that should be the measure of any VC's past performance. In most cases VC's want one ortwo things: a private sale of the company or to go public with the company.
The valuation of the business by the venture capitalist will be the key consideration for a company seeking venture capital financing. The higher the valuation is, the lesser "dilution" the current shareholders need to suffer with the issuance of stocks to the VC.
Sometimes there will be a gap between the company's desire for a high valuation and the venture capitalist's desire for a lower valuation. The investor is bringing the needed cash and expertise to the table for the growth of the business and at that time you shouldn't get hung up on small differences in valuation.
Also, if certain projected ends of the company are not met-like completion of a product line within the designated time period or the achievement of designated sales projections, the venture capitalist would be entitled to additional stock without extra payment.
Although this kind of investment is very advantageous for entrepreneurs who cannot find funding through regular means, some people still avoid venture capitalists for the fear that venture capitalists may use their powers to intervene and run the company will keep them aside.
Always keep in mind that the venture capital firms are only interested in one thing- return on their investment and opportunity for themselves, whereas they might convince us that they are helping the economy recover.
Venture capitalists are targeting and are hitting big on India with their investments growing five-fold in a year. According to industry players India is fastest emerging economy and is a potential destination for venture capitalists, but the country still has a long way to go before it catches up with the markets that have already established their credentials.
How to Hire a Venture Capital
One should look at one's current business situation before deciding if venture capital financing is the wisest choice for your company at this point in its lifecycle. Don't forget, the more established your company is the greater your personal bargaining power will be. VCs get their deal flow from different sources like personal and business networks, other VCs, professional service providers, venture capital and private equity Associations and very rarely in India-through venture shows or trade shows.
Indian Venture Capital and Private Equity Association (IVCA) is a member based national organization that represents venture capital and private equity firms and is promoting the industry within India and throughout the world. IVCA members comprise of venture capital firms, institutional investors, banks, incubators, angel groups, corporate advisors, accountants, lawyers, government bodies, academic institutions and other service providers to the venture capital and private equity industry.
These firms provide capital for seed ventures, early stage companies, later stage expansion, and growth finance for management buyouts/buy-ins of established companies. IVCA's mission as they announces is "to promote the development of venture capital and private equity industry in India" and "to support entrepreneurial activity and innovation". IVCA is also a powerful platform for investment funds to interact with each other.
Every sector has huge potentials locked away. It's up to the entrepreneurs and investors to take risks to unearth these huge potential, harness it and shape it to a full blown and lucrative investment opportunity. It is therefore important that we should start believing in our capabilities and potentials and reach out to the wealthy investors across the country. For attaining success, it is a need to come out and declare that we are ready to play with the big boys of business investments.

Grant Shapps, the housing minister, claimed that judges were often "oblivious" to the damage done by disruptive neighbours to communities.
"My view for a long time has been that the voice of the victim seems to be the last thing that the court takes into account, rather than the first thing," he said.
"I want to see the people whose lives have been affected, to actually have their day in court where they can say, 'This is the physical effect it has had on our lives'. I want to bring that front and centre."
The community harm statements will be introduced next April.
The initiative is the latest in recent days from Mr Shapps, who has dominated the threadbare political agenda in August with a series of announcements on overhauling the market for rented homes, the appointment of Sir Terence Conran to help improve the design of new housing schemes, while offering enthusiastic government backing for a plan to sell off council homes.
The frenetic pace is all the more surprising as the minister and his family are on holiday in Spain — and Mr Shapps relies on an internet Skype connection to announce his policies and offer sound-bites to broadcasters.
Such a prodigious work rate and enthusiasm to "always be on the front foot" is why the 43 year-old is a rising star in Downing Street's eyes who is tipped for promotion in the forthcoming reshuffle.
He is even going to next month's Liberal Democrat conference in Brighton to show a bit of love to his Coalition colleagues.
He laughs off any attempts to draw him on his future ambitions and is, instead, apparently keen to continue at breakneck speed to get developers building again.
"I think we have to be impatient for success and economic growth…housing is a big part of that," he said. "Let's kick the barriers away and get spades in the ground. That's the role I'm increasingly involved in."
The housing minister said that the "figure that really hits you between the eyes" is the fact that every 100,000 new homes built would "add one per cent to GDP".
Therefore, the work being done by Mr Shapps in conjunction with the Treasury could make the difference between the country remaining in, or escaping from, the double-dip recession. It is no wonder that housing policy is expected to form a key element of the Government's autumn economic recovery plans and the Prime Minister takes a close weekly interest in developments.
Next week, Mr Shapps will announce that he has knocked heads together and the Ebbsfleet housing development in Kent — involving more than 20,000 new homes — will finally get going after more than a decade of false starts.
He also wants banks to do more, offering affordable loans to potential home-buyers rather than restricting the best deals with reams of onerous paperwork and criteria which means they are out of reach for ordinary Britons.
"The banks owe us a lot … they are the ones who have been bailed out. I think they should be giving more back."
Away from the house-building debate, Mr Shapps is also trying "sensitively" to tack a course through the subject of social or council housing.
So far, a compromise has been struck between the Tory right and the Liberal Democrats — those in council houses can stay as long as they wish but, in future, people should not expect a council house for life.
But, Mr Shapps is also keen to rebrand social housing to reflect more adequately its taxpayer-funded status.
"I think it is worth reminding people two things. First of all, the taxpayer pays a fair whack subsidy to build the house in the first place, and then, secondly, there is an ongoing week by week subsidy against what would be the full market rent.
"There are forever arguments, the housing intelligentsia of The Guardian or whatever, who say there's no cost, it's already built. Not true."
He added that it should be called "taxpayer-supported housing rather than the meaningless phrase social housing".
He went on: "Everybody lives in social housing as far as I'm concerned. So I think calling a spade a spade and calling it taxpayer-funded housing is not unfair."
Such straight-talking is what Mr Shapps, who some believe could become the party's next chairman, believes David Cameron must do at the forthcoming Conservative Party conference.
"I've been reading the brilliant Roy Jenkins biography of Churchill…I was reflecting, there hasn't been a point at which to be prime minister which has been more difficult than at any point since the conclusion of the Second World War," he said.
Asked what the Prime Minister needs to do to win back public support, he said: "People need to know there is a plan, people need to understand the direction in which the country is being taken, they need to hear it straight.
"There is no need to sugar-coat the pill. People are not stupid. I think this is where the PM can really excel.
"The truth is that you cannot solve this global debt crisis by simply borrowing more money as a government.
"All we would be doing is borrowing money from you, from your kids, from their children which eventually has to be repaid. If you don't believe me just look at what is happening in Greece, Spain, Italy…"

This is in response to "Fireworks Calls A Nuisance To Fort Smith Police" published on July 6. The first sentence states: "While Fort Smith police responded to fewer fireworks complaints this Fourth of July compared to last year, the number of calls caused an undue nuisance to patrol officers."
This is in response to �Fireworks Calls A Nuisance To Fort Smith Police� published on July 6. The first sentence states: �While Fort Smith police responded to fewer fireworks complaints this Fourth of July compared to last year, the number of calls caused an undue nuisance to patrol officers.�
The Fort Smith Police Department is concerned with how the word �nuisance� is used. Readers may infer that the calls are a nuisance to the police department, which is certainly not the case. Citizens have every right to contact the police department regarding people discharging fireworks within the city limits and are encouraged to call. The Fourth of July holiday is one of the busiest for officers due to the large number of calls for service; however, citizens who call the police department are not the nuisance. Those responsible for violating city ordinances by shooting off the fireworks create the nuisance.
The July 10 editorial, �Police Strike Balanced Note on Illegal Fireworks� remarks that people�s discharging fireworks where it is illegal lessens the fun for others, causing citizens to call in for a variety of reasons, from noise complaints and trash left behind to scared animals and fear of the fireworks starting fires. It is a violation of a city ordinance to discharge fireworks of any kind within the city limits of Fort Smith, and police officers will respond when a complaint is received and take whatever action is appropriate.
Despite those who would violate the law concerning fireworks, we encourage citizens to contact the police department for assistance any time they need us, whether it�s to respond to a fireworks call or other crime or police-related incident. Citizens can call 911 for an emergency or for non-emergency calls, our dispatch center can be reached at 709-5100.

On Tuesday night, many will gather around TVs, computers and smartphones to watch election results. It will be the end of a long campaign season that saw tempers fly and stress levels rise.
A study released on Oct. 30 by the American Psychological Association reports that 62 percent of Americans said the current state of politics in the country is a significant stress. The same report also stated that 69 percent of the nation said the future of the country stresses them out, up from 63 percent a year ago.
In anxious times - like watching the election results come in - there are steps to take to keep you from seeing red or feeling too blue.
Sanford psychologist Dr. Jon Ulven says people are designed to experience and withstand stressful periods throughout their lives, and elections are no different.
Some will show signs of stress through a change in sleeping routine, loss of appetite, change in mood, irritability, increased worrying, or an upset gastrointestinal system.
"It's not a sign of failure that we experience these symptoms," he says. "For the most part, we will all make it through this stressful period of time."
While the election results may have lasting impact, remember that terms have limits, says North Dakota State University Counseling Center Director psychologist Bill Burns.
"This too shall pass. It all goes around and comes around. Whoever you want to win, this will change over time. It's not permanent," Burns says.
In times of duress, people who have optimistic outlooks tend to fare better, Ulven says. Acknowledging that things may currently be overwhelming but will pass is helpful.
"When folks are able to have healthier attributions or connections to those stressors, that helps us weather those times better," Ulven says.
Something like early voting can help people feel like they are maintaining their lives.
"I went and early voted and one of the best things about early voting is that I don't feel like I need to watch anything any more. I can be done. And that really helps," Ulven says. "Things we do to increase our perception of control can be really helpful at these times. Getting out to vote is something I can do that increases my perception of control. At least I'm doing something."
Perception of control can be a powerful tool in managing stress as uncertainty can lead to greater unease, he says.
That control can extend outside of political situations and could include volunteering at an organization or lending a hand where needed.
"Helping out a friend or a neighbor, showing kindness to others will help with stress management," Ulven says.
If you are already uneasy about the state of politics, constant media bombardment can be too much.
"The 24-hour news channels, alerts on social media - all of those things are constant reminders of stress for us," Ulven says.
He encourages his patients who are getting stressed out by the elections to decide in advance about how they will get their news, especially if it's through the unending stream of social media.
Ulven also urges people to make healthy decisions, from who they spend time with election night - friends, family and supportive people - to what you eat and drink.
"We hate feeling stressed as human beings," he says. "We're wired to respond strongly to signs of anxiety, and we want them to go away. We want to avoid those symptoms the best we can so sometimes what that leads to under stressful circumstances is using too much alcohol or other substances like marijuana."
Instead, do things that bring you pleasure, like taking a walk, exercising or work on a craft project.
Both Ulven and Burns say to be with people you like and with whom you get along.
"Be with like-minded people who see things the same way you do so you'll have support whichever way things go," Burns says.
People should also be on the lookout for stressed friends and family. Look for changes in how they function, like becoming withdrawn socially or ineffective in the workplace, or allowing loss of sleep to affect timeliness and appearance.

EXTOL UCCnet Integrator Early Adopter Program fully subscribed
EXTOL UCCnet Integrator Early Adopter Program fully subscribed
EXTOL International, a provider of B2B integration software for the mid-sized enterprise, announced that the Early Adopter Program (EAP) for the EXTOL UCCnet Application was fully subscribed. The participants are using the UCCnet Integrator Application and EXTOL Business Integration Platform to address the full range of issues needed for UCCnet compliance. They will also receive advanced support in bringing their UCCnet initiative up to full speed. In addition, these organizations are entitled to use the EXTOL Business Integration Platform for enterprise wide application integration and will not be limited to UCCnet target data only.
The program was limited to supply side organizations that need a fully supported, fast track to UCCnet compliance. Their requirements include back office integration capabilities for machine-to-machine round-trip synchronization and integration of UCCnet trade item data. Among the Early Adopters of the EXTOL Business Integrator and the UCCnet application are: Alpha Mills, American Italian Pasta Company (AIPC), Duraco Products, Maxwell Shoe, Overhead Door, and Shop Vac.
"The EXTOL Solution to the UCCnet Challenge goes right to the heart of the matter", stated Jay Heavilon of MARS Interactive, an EXTOL Business Partner using the UCCnet Integrator to assist small companies with fewer that 50 SKUs. "The major effort in UCCnet compliance is aggregating the information needed for product item data attributes. This requires integration with a wide array of business application software, databases, and even paper based systems. Of equal importance are the capabilities to maintain and manage a central catalog of the UCCnet required data. The more mundane tasks of conversion to the XML formats and connecting to the GLOBALregistry securely over the Internet are less than 25% of the overall effort."
Dennis Bonagura, EXTOL's President & COO commented, "EXTOL was able to rapidly respond to the new requirements of the UCCnet Data Integration Services Release 2.2 because our UCCnet application is built on the EXTOL Business Integration Platform. The platform delivers the features and functions needed to rapidly accommodate changes in product item data requirements, process and system changes, including the XML schema and intelligent routing of documents. These are the same capabilities our clients need in accommodating the mandates of their customers in the retail industry."
About the EXTOL UCCnet Integrator

A collection of amazing sea creatures have been discovered deep in the ocean near Antarctica.
Unknown species of the "lost world", including crabs, octopus, starfish and anemones, were found around volcanic vents in the Southern Ocean at depths of more than 2,000 metres (6,500ft).
Researchers from the University of Oxford, University of Southampton, the National Oceanography Centre, and British Antarctic Survey discovered the creatures using a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV).
They came across the creatures clustered near hydrothermal vents where temperatures reach up to 382 degrees Celsius in a unique environment lacking sunlight but rich in minerals that sustain life.
"Hydrothermal vents are home to animals found nowhere else on the planet that get their energy not from the sun but from breaking down chemicals, such as hydrogen sulphide," said Professor Alex Rogers of Oxford University's zoology department.
"The first survey of these particular vents has revealed a hot, dark, 'lost world' in which whole communities of previously unknown marine organisms thrive."
Highlights from the discovery include a new species of yeti crab, a seven-armed predatory starfish and an unidentified pale octopus.
"These findings are yet more evidence of the precious diversity to be found throughout the world's oceans," said Rogers.
"Everywhere we look, whether in the sunlit coral reefs of tropical waters or these Antarctic vents shrouded in eternal darkness, we find unique ecosystems that we need to understand and protect."

As an added incentive, $1 from the sale of each deck will go toward the EatDenver Serves Schools program, an initiative, in partnership with Slow Food Denver, that supports food awareness and education in Denver Public Schools.
But to help you get started with your stocking stuffers, we're giving away a slew of EatDenver Dining Decks -- five, to be exact -- to one very lucky Cafe Society reader, who can wow us with the best food-centric holiday haiku.
Please leave your words in the comments section below, and be sure to include a valid e-mail address so that we can contact you if you're the winner, which we'll announce tonight, by the stroke of 5 p.m.
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.

As I wrote about in the previous blog to this one, there are changes afoot in the holiday advertising business that may not be to the advantage of small private owners like us here at Eco-Gites of Lenault. Rather than sit by and watch our bookings fall, a group of holiday home owing friends and myself have got together to organise a new way to book your self catering holiday - a Facebook group called "Book your Holiday Direct with the Owner".
It is a very simple way of finding a holiday that suits you and enables holiday makers to deal direct with owners and not pay any commission or booking fees.
Holiday Makers
Please come and join our group to where you have 2 ways to help you find a holiday:
Photo AlbumsLook through the relevant albums based on where you want to go and what type of holiday you want and contact the owner via their Facebook page or website
Posts to the GroupPlace a post on the group timeline asking for the type of holiday you would like. Owners will respond and other holiday makers can make suggestions.
Holiday Home Owners
Owners of quality holiday homes and B&Bs in the UK and France are welcome to join the group. Once a member you will have 2 ways of promoting your holidays:
Photo AlbumsWe have created a series of photo albums based on location and property type ie child friendly, good for walkers etc. Owners can place one photo in each album together with a short description and links to their Facebook page and webpage.
Posts to the GroupYou can post about your holiday property/special offers/latest availability etc ONCE a day on the group's wall.
Who can join
Self catering cottages and gites
Quality lodges
All properties need to be in the UK and France
At this time however we are not accepting static caravans.

Back in 1976, Alex Haley published a fictionalized account of his family's history, entitle Roots. One thing that made this of special interest is that Mr. Haley was black, the descendant of slaves, and claimed (though some disputed it) to have traced his ancestry all the way back to the African continent.
Fact or fiction, the book and subsequent mini-series touched a nerve. According to Haley's 1992 obituary in the New York Times,
The writer and television historian Les Brown wrote that the mini-series "emptied theaters, filled bars, caused social events to be canceled and was the talk of the nation during the eight consecutive nights it played on ABC."
That's quite an accomplishment for a "mere" novel.
What was the attraction? I think it might be that, in the increasingly-frenzied swirl of activity in this modern life, we seek in our past an anchor; a source of stability; in short, "roots."
Some of us are fortunate to know the great-great-greats in our families; others know little beyond our parents (and a few, not even that).
But even knowing your heritage (I met a man today who proudly identified himself as an "Irish Catholic") can be a source of nurture in our lives.
Sure, we can't live in the past. But the Buddhists speak of "causes and conditions," the influences, situations and events that brought us to where we are today. Certainly our ancestors and our cultural background are of deep consequence to who we are.
So get in touch with your "roots." Before you decide where you're going, find out where you came from.
You'll be happier.

Well I got this little ( actually HUGE) number from Charlotte,
She donated it to my bin....Like I need any help with my unfinished projects ..right? The good thing about me is that once it's a quilt top it will eventually get finished..I get kind of sad to think it could be used and loved or just whole...now WIP's (half pieced objects)...we won't talk about that right now. LOL
I actually just practiced designs and techniques I have never done before ..or new ways of doing things I have done before... That is why I love to have practice pieces...I also used plain muslin on the back so I could see my quilting...I like that.alot.
Thanks so much Charlotte!

First Known Android Bootkit Infects Over 350,000 Devices
Researchers have identified the first known Android bootkit in the wild, which " resides in the memory of infected devices and launches itself early on in the OS loading stage," making detection and elimination difficult as it would require changes to the device's file system.
The malware, dubbed Android.Oldboot.1.origin, is thought have already infected more than 350,000 mobile devices around the world, including Spain, Italy, Germany, Russia, Brazil, the USA and some Southeast Asian countries, though more than 90% of the infections are located in China.
"To spread the Trojan… attackers have used a very unusual technique, namely, placing one of the Trojan components into the boot partition of the file system and modifying the init script which is responsible for the initialisation of OS components." the researchers reported.
"When the mobile phone is turned on, this script loads the code of the Trojan Linux-library imei_chk (Dr.Web Anti-virus detects it as Android.Oldboot.1), which extracts the files libgooglekernel.so (Android.Oldboot.2) and GoogleKernel.apk (Android.Oldboot.1.origin) and places them in /system/lib and /system/app, respectively. Thus, part of the Trojan Android.Oldboot is installed as a typical application which further functions as a system service and uses the libgooglekernel.so library to connect to a remote server and receive various commands," they explained.
The researchers note that the malware is not being spread by malicious webpages, applications, or from opening tainted attachments. Instead, they believe devices somehow had the malware pre-loaded at the time of shipping from the manufacturer, or was likely manually installed by actors with physical access to the devices.
"Reflashing a device with modified firmware that contains the routines required for the Trojan's operation is the most likely way this threat is introduced," the researchers said.
"This malware is particularly dangerous because even if some elements of Android.Oldboot that were installed onto the mobile device after it was turned on are removed successfully, the component imei_chk will still reside in the protected memory area and will re-install the malware after a reboot and, thus, re-infect the system."

ADA Complementary Paratransit Program (ADA):
For individuals who, because of their disability, cannot use fixed route bus service if available in the county. ADA Complementary Paratransit works for any trip that originates and ends within ¾ mile (typically 7 city blocks) of a fixed route bus.
This service operates during the same days and hours as fixed route service. It is typically door-to-door. This type of transportation can be used for any kind of trip; medical appointments, shopping, recreation, senior centers and more. The cost of a one-way paratransit fare for ADA Complementary Paratransit is typically twice the amount of the current fixed route bus fare. Individuals who are ADA eligible in another jurisdiction and are visiting the rabbittransit service area, may use ADA Complementary Paratransit. If an individual has not been certified as eligible by another public entity but can claim that they are ADA paratransit eligible, they are entitled to "presumptive eligibility" and must be provided with 21 days of service. Individuals that are not certified by another transit agency will be expected to provide documentation from his/her place of residence explaining the nature of his/her disability. A Doctor's verification and a physical assessment may be needed to determine the individual's conditions specific to rabbittransit. The 21 days of service that a visitor receives must be calculated as any combination of 21 days during any 365 day period beginning with the visitor's first use of the service. A visitor who has been granted complimentary paratransit service in his/her home region, the conditions determined by the home transit agency will be followed. The individual's home transit agency will be contacted to verify the individual's conditions.
For Cumberland County residents, CAT is the ADA Provider for Complementary Paratransit. Please call 1-800-303-1904.
Individuals with a disability are eligible for this program if they need transportation in areas that are not serviced by the fixed route (if available), are not eligible for any other funding sources and are between the ages of 18-64. This is a Shared Ride program that operates county-wide, outside the ADA area and even includes certain out-of-county trips. The cost of one-way fares for the Persons with Disabilities Program are dependent upon the distance traveled.
Clients of supporting MH/IDD Programs are eligible. This program provides rides for eligible clients of supporting MH/IDD Programs that are traveling to and from sheltered workshops. A one-way trip to these sites typically costs $3.00. Applications for this program are to be completed by MH/IDD Support Coordinators only.
For those individuals who do not qualify for other funding sources, but choose to utilize the Paratransit Program under the General Public fare structure. The cost of one-way fares for the general public is dependent upon the distance traveled.

* Below are the excerpts of the three-part report by the People's Solidarity for Participatory Democracy regarding the incident of the Cheonan ship. For the whole report of each part, please click the each title.
[Cheonan Warship Report1]
The PSPD's Stance on the Final Investigation Report on the Cheonan and the countering measures of the Lee Myung-bak administration
1. Brief on the Cheonan Incident
● The 1,300-ton patrol combat corvette (PCC) Cheonan sank splitted into two about 1 nautical mile off the southwestern coast of Baengnyeong-do(Island) near the NLL(Northen Limit Line) in the shallow water of the West Sea at the time estimated to be around 21:15 to 21:22 on March 26, 2010. At the time, the ROK and the U.S. forces were jointly conducting the annual field military exercise, Foal Eagle. Commander of the ROK-U.S. Combined Forces Command announced that the WMD (weapons of mass destruction including nuclear weapons) removal team involved in this military exercise just in case of North Korea's contingent situation.
● While the Ministry of Defense elaborated that the Cheonan was not mobilized directly related to the Foal Eagle exercise, Major Derek Peterson of the US Navy's 7th Fleet who was on the rescue mission for the sunken Cheonan stated in an interview with a Korean TV station on April 5, 2010 that the sinking occurred during the joint field exercise conducted by the ROK and the U.S. on a regular basis.
● Although 58 survived including the captain of the warship, 46 were either dead or missing. Strangely though, while the ROK military could not locate the vessel for 48 hours after sinking, a fishing boat equipped with a fish detector found the ship immediately after joining the search effort, raising distrust among the missing sailors' families.
[Cheonan Warship Report2]
Eight Questions Needing Answers on the Investigation of the Sunken Naval Corvette Cheonan
Question 1. Had been really a torpedo-induced water column?
Question 2. No such severe injuries evident of a torpedo explosion found in the bodies of survivors and deceased soldiers
Question 3. Is it true that there is no TOD recordings from the early stage of the Cheonan incident?
Question 4. There are no severe damages evident of an explosion on the severed surface, on the bottom of the ship and in the interior of the hull.
Question 5. Why the military concealed the finding and refloating of the gas turbine room? And why did they omit the investigation of the gas turbine room from investigating?
Question 6. Were the oxidized aluminum substances, not gun powder, evident of an explosion?
Question 7. What is the profile of the YONO class submarine? Is it understandable that the submarine had not been followed for several days by the ROK and the U.S. surveillance?
Question 8. Why couldn't a torpedo launch be detected?
This document summarizes the questions raised by the Center for Peace and Disarmament of People's Solidarity for Perspiratory Democracy (PSPD) on the report released on May 20, 2010 by the joint civilian-military investigation group (JIG) under the Ministry of Defense on the cause of sinking of the naval warship Cheonan.
[Cheonan Warship Report3]
Six Problems on the Investigation Process of the Cheonan Sinking
Problem1. The military not disclosing and censoring basic information on the Cheonan vessel
Problem2. Hiding of the TOD video-recordings of the Cheonan breaking into half and sinking and changing of words
Problem3. Imposing political and legal measures and restrictions against ordinary citizens raising doubts
Problem4. The JIG practically excluding civilians
Problem5. The JIG that limited investigative efforts by civilian members
Problem6. Unknown roles of the foreign investigators

All week long Ronald Reagan was on the sidelines, or at least playing at the fringes, an uncharacteristic role for the most powerful man in the Western world.
It began on the Fourth of July weekend up at Camp David with hours of reminiscing about Fred Astaire, a Reagan friend who had died two weeks before. A collection of Astaire's old movies was Nancy Reagan's birthday present to herself. The first couple were spun again from nasty reality through the golden extravaganzas of Hollywood with Swingtime and Funny Face.
No matter how grim life may seem and how insistent his critics...
