P & J Montessori, like Cherrybrook, was yet another "best kept secret", uncovered long after I had completed my online research. I found out about it while speaking to a dear secondary school friend of mine, a montessori/right brain/home schooling mummy and educator who had done her due research.
Owner Miss Julie Ong does her own admin, so email replies to enquiries took longer than your usual 12 hours -the expectation in these times.
I also found out that she is the mum of a primary school friend of mine!
Having had the privilege to attend/self-invite to a parent meeting (my sis is very happy with the choice for her older son!), I now know that she is on Whatsapp to her parents as a priority over PR or marketing.
Therefore, costs are completely fair, and quite affordable since there is no marketing team.
At the parent meeting the montessori materials were laid out with instructions for us parents to try out. After all, they needed to show us our kids were not doing the "nothing!" they attest to, when interrogated about their day at school! I kid you not, some of this material was complex, and many of us gave up quickly. We are told that the children are introduced to the material bit by bit and by trained staff.
When I asked Julie what materials would be good for me to have at home for my 14 month old, she said only practical life items, books, and lots of movement!
Exposing them to the material as an untrained but well meaning parent means they bore of it when they come to school and think they know it when actual fact there are deeper dimensions to the activity not explored before, thus, a missed learning opportunity.
She also urged that if I had a stable carers for him, to delay any schooling for as long as possible. This was said with so much care, experience and sincerity.
We had a beautiful parent evening session where lots of parenting and communication pearls were shared. There was a vibrant discussion after as the other parents were lovely, extremely sociable and approachable. There was a mix of locals, returning locals and expatriates.
In summary, P & J are a true home style montessori with longstaying and experienced guides for when you want to home school your child with the montessori philosophy but can't trust yourself with it completely 😉

Hi guys,
Well, it's World Cup time and it seems only fitting that I submit something related to that. I was intrigued by the whole "Group of Death" concept. Intuitively (for me), a group of death should be a very unlikely event - yet they are always found in the World Cup. On talking to a mathematician, I was fascinated to find that they are supposedly unsurprising and quite predictable. Unconvinced, I decided to have a stab at simulating it. Here it is:
* File: main.cpp
* Author: daniel
* Group of Death Simulation
* Created on June 15, 2010, 3:34 PM
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <vector>
#include <algorithm>
#include <iostream>
#include <ctime>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
// variable to record total groups of death for each run
int groupTotal = 0;
// holds total for number of death groups of overall simulation
int deathGroup = 0;
// random seed - how good is this I wonder?
// array to populate the vector
int box[32] = {0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3};
// vector to store and randomize values
vector< int > group(box, box + 32);
// three nested loops - outermost is number of simulations, inner one is groups, inner most is teams
for(int i = 0; i < 10000; i++)
// randomize team rankings which are between 0 and 3
random_shuffle(group.begin(), group.end());
for(int j = 0; j < 8; j++) // number of groups
groupTotal = 0;
for(int k = 0; k < 4; k++) // number of teams
groupTotal += group.back();
if(groupTotal > 8) // threshold for group of death
group.assign(box, box + 32);
cout << "Number of groups of death: " << deathGroup << endl;
return (EXIT_SUCCESS);
Now, after a fair bit of mucking around (with simulations at 100, 10000 up to 100000000 times) I get a figure around 98 - 99%!?!? Is something going drastically wrong somewhere. Surely it can't be that likely. I should add that my definition of a group of death is a total greater than 8. Thanks in advance.
PS: Maths was never my forte, so please be gentle!

This article includes a list of references, but its sources remain unclear because it has insufficient inline citations. (December 2009) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Jody Miller (born November 29, 1941) is an American country music singer. Born Myrna Joy Miller,[1] in Phoenix, Arizona, she was raised in Blanchard, Oklahoma, the youngest of five sisters.
Jody Miller
Jody Miller in 1965
|Background information
|Birth name
|Myrna Joy Miller
|November 29, 1941
Phoenix, Arizona, U.S.
|Blanchard, Oklahoma, U.S.
|Years active
|Capitol, Epic
|Associated acts
|Roger Miller
|The Official Jody Miller site
Discovered by actor Dale Robertson,[clarification needed] Miller began her career in the early 1960s as a folk/pop singer, singing in the Los Angeles area and appearing on Tom Paxton's television series. She released her first album on Capitol Records in 1964 and had a modest pop hit that year with "He Walks Like a Man" in the US but a big hit in Australia, reaching No. 8 on the national charts.[citation needed]
In 1965, she participated in the Sanremo Festival as a team companion of Pino Donaggio. Since the Festival was created as a composers' competition, Miller and Donaggio presented differently arranged versions of the entry "Io Che Non Vivo (Senza Te)". The song came in at # 7 and was only a moderate hit until Dusty Springfield recorded an English version in 1966 which was eventually released as "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me". Also in 1965, Jody Miller released an answer record to Roger Miller's (no relation) blockbuster hit "King of the Road", titled "Queen of the House" (which became her signature hit, peaking at number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 and at number 5 on the country singles chart). Miller won the Grammy award for Best Female Country Vocal Performance for the song in 1966.[2]
Miller scored a second top 40 pop hit that year with "Home of the Brave", a No. 25 Hot 100 hit that was historically significant for tackling the issue of noncomformity and tolerance. The theme prevented it from making headway in the more socially conservative country charts of 1965. By the mid-1960s, Miller became a pioneer crossover female vocalist, opening the doors for Linda Ronstadt, Anne Murray, and Olivia Newton-John, and others as a pop singer recording a strong country influence and finding success in both genres. Miller's pop success petered out by the late 1960s. Tammy Wynette's record producer, Billy Sherrill, was a fan of Miller. He signed her to Epic Records in 1970 to record specifically for the country market. She had two country hits right off the bat in 1970 with "Look At Mine" nearly making the Top 20 and a Top 20 hit with "If You Think I Love You Now (I Just Started)" in early 1971. She recorded a remake of the Chiffons 1963 hit "He's So Fine", which hit the top 5 on the country chart and No. 53 on the pop chart that summer, garnering another Grammy award nomination.[citation needed]
Several major country hits followed, many of them remakes of pop/rock classics such as "Baby I'm Yours," "Be My Baby," and "To Know Him is to Love Him". Among the new country songs she had hits with were the top tens "There's a Party Goin' On," "Good News," and "Darling, You Can Always Come Back Home." She also continued to have hits with cover versions of pop hits like "House of the Rising Sun", a hit for The Animals, "Reflections" (different from the Diana Ross and the Supremes hit), and "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman", an Aretha Franklin hit. Miller's last top 30 country hit was 1977's "When the New Wears Off Our Love" and two years later she made her final chart appearance.
She went into semi-retirement in the 1980s, at which time she and her husband, Monty Brooks, owned a ranch in Oklahoma but later emerged as a Christian music artist, releasing several albums. In 1999, the Country Gospel Music Association inducted Miller into its Hall of Fame, along with Loretta Lynn, Barbara Mandrell, Andy Griffith, David L. Cook and Lulu Roman. Jody and her daughter Robin recorded and toured together for a period of time. Miller continues to perform live and sings her secular hits as well as her gospel material.[citation needed]

We retain our Neutral recommendation on medical technology company Conmed Corporation (CNMD) following its mixed fourth-quarter 2011 results. Its adjusted earnings of 46 cents per share outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 39 cents. However, the company swung to a loss in the quarter, hurt by a hefty goodwill impairment charge.
Revenues rose just 0.8% year over year to roughly $185.6 million, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Sales grew narrowly as gain in the disposable business was offset by lower capital equipment revenues.
Conmed saw growth across its Arthroscopy, Endosurgery and Endoscopic Technologies franchises while Electrosurgery and Powered Surgical Instruments businesses recorded lower sales in the quarter. The company raised its guidance for fiscal 2012 factoring in the contributions from its recent collaboration with Musculoskeletal Research Foundation ("MTF") in sports medicine.
Conmed is a medical products maker specializing in surgical instruments and devices. The company is experiencing healthy demand for its single-use disposable products, which remain the mainstay of its business.
A large percentage of the company's products are designed for minimally invasive surgery, a trend that is extremely popular these days. The use of minimally invasive surgery lowers costs by reducing patient trauma, recovery time and the length of hospitalization.
We are also encouraged by the company's distribution deal with MTF and new product launches. Under the pact, Conmed's Linvatec unit will be the exclusive global marketing representative for MTF's sports medicine allograft tissues and will assume responsibility for the global distribution of the entity's platelet-rich plasma product. In return, MTF will provide Conmed a portion of the sales associated with these products.
Moreover, Conmed recently launched a host of new products across its sports medicine and powered instrument product lines. These products (including the Hip Preservation System and Hall Lithium Power Battery System) are expected to drive top-line growth in the years ahead.
However, Conmed operates in a highly-competitive orthopedic surgery market against much larger, more technically-competent companies, such as Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), Smith & Nephew (SNN) and Stryker Corporation (SYK).
The orthopedic industry is highly susceptible to the economic softness and Conmed is no exception. Moreover, it is exposed to pricing pressure, currency exchange headwinds and a still weak hospital capital purchasing environment. Conmed currently retains a short-term Zacks #2 Rank (Buy).

There are several varieties of hairloss and balding. Though the system of the phenomenon of hair thinning and baldness is not really entirely comprehended, there is huge knowledge about the ability to address the categories of hair loss and baldness by medication or organic means.
We are dividing the alopecia types into treatable and non-treatable circumstances and we shall hereby clarify how you can appraise the likelihood of effective therapy from the treatable circumstances.
When assessing the chances of improving upon the affliction in the hair, probably the most essential conditions is definitely the affliction from the hair follicles. Assuming that the hair follicles are alive, you can find a chance to grow new hair. Usually, there is no foundation for almost any therapy to succeed as well as the only choices are cosmetic- wig, hair transplant etc.
Life time period of your hair follicles could achieve approximately twenty-five a long time. The hair follicles increase hair in cycles of advancement and fall. Within the course of action of thinning hair, just about every cycle of advancement creates shorter, thinner hair and there exists fewer pigment (colour).
When the scalp incorporates a vivid plume, it signifies that the hair follicle continues to be alive but dormant. Provided the right specialist's expertise and treatment, the hair follicle may be stimulated to develop hair. However in the event the floor is totally sleek, it signifies the hair follicle is no lengthier alive and there may be zero opportunity to develop hair- apart from in some instances as defined underneath (Alopecia Areata, Totalis and Universalis).
The different sorts of hair loss as well as possibilities of development of new hair are hereby offered.
Non Treatable conditions
The problems of hair thinning that have no chance of hair regrowth are: Alopecia from birth, Scarring Alopecia, Traction Alopecia and Lupus condition.
Alopecia from beginning is often a scarce issue, where the toddler is born devoid of hair follicles.
In Scarring Alopecia the contaminated zone appears to be like just like a scar and the hair follicles are lifeless. The reasons on the phenomena are unknown. The likelihood of increasing new hair are zero, but with right treatment the enlargement of your Scarring Alopecia is often stopped.
In Traction Alopecia the hair is pulled outside of the scalp as well as the hair follicle gets to be weak and dies.
In alopecia which can be brought on by Lupus disease, the skin is tough and pink as well as the odds of development of hair is almost non existent.
Treatable Conditions
The ailments of hair loss that has an opportunity to be addressed properly are: Male Sample Alopecia, Alopecia Areata, Alopecia Totalis and Alopecia Universalis.
Male Sample Alopecia is popular male baldness. It's characteristics are lack of hair in the entrance and crown spot to start with. In lots of circumstances, there may be even now at least hair plume, thinning hair and baldness may be stopped by affecting the hair follicles.
In Alopecia Areata situation, regular spherical thinning hair patches evolve swiftly. In some cases the bald patches spread to complete thinning hair from the scalp (Alopecia Totalis) or maybe complete human body areas (Alopecia Universalis). The phenomenon could damage adult men, women of all ages and babies. Standard medicine assumes the Alopecia Areata issue is surely an autoimmune ailment, though the exact system of Alopecia Areata is not really recognized nor completely understood.
In lots of situations Alopecia Areata is due to psychological force: people who knowledgeable trauma have in some cases missing full hair within hours or days.
Evaluating Probability of Effective Treatment
As explained during the introduction, the ailment in the hair follicles is definitely the most important standards for assessing the likelihood of profitable remedy. Existence of slim white hair is often a visible signal for dwelling hair follicles. The thin white hair can be discovered when examining the scalp from near length, with great mild circumstances. Often viewing the scalp from an angle against mild resource helps to see the thin white hair.
Naturally, when there's slim white hair about the alopecia area, it suggests which the hair follicles are weak but alive, so there may be a foundation to grow hair, given the appropriate treatment method. But in the event the alopecia spot is clean, the analysis is dependent around the alopecia form:
In male sample alopecia issue, smooth scalp is a clear indication which the hair follicles are not alive and there's no chance to develop new hair. Even so in Alopecia Areata, Alopecia Totalis and Alopecia Universalis the hair follicles in some cases continue being alive although the alopecia area is easy and analyzing the issue with the hair follicles should really take into account other significant components.

"Our results reinforce the importance of exercise, but also may explain a mechanism for why it seems to benefit some individuals more than others," said Stephen Kritchevsky, Ph.D., professor of gerontology at Wake Forest, who led the study.
The study is the first to show that a gene that controls levels of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) in the body may be associated with physical function in older adults.
The researchers found that older exercisers who inherited a gene combination associated with the lowest ACE production were 45 percent more likely to develop difficulties with climbing stairs or walking a quarter-mile than exercisers with gene combinations associated with higher levels of ACE.
"Overall, ACE genotype seems to be associated with how well activity helps preserve function," said Kritchevsky. "This finding may offer new opportunities to explore treatments to help older adults maintain their function."
The results are from the ongoing Health Aging and Body Composition Cohort Study, conducted in the metropolitan areas of Memphis, Tenn., and Pittsburgh, Pa. The study involves 3,075 well-functioning, community-dwelling adults ages 70 through 79. Participants were enrolled in 1997 and 1998.
The current data are from 2,966 participants who were followed for up to 4.1 years. About a third (31.3 percent) of the group was active, burning more than 1,000 calories a week in exercise; the others were inactive. The researchers found that the exercisers were significantly less likely (33 percent) to report mobility problems than the non-exercisers.
More than a third of adults in the United States who are 70 and older report having difficulty walking a quarter-mile or climbing 10 stairs. Previous research has shown that these mobility difficulties often proceed to physical disability. Older adults reporting these difficulties are at four times the risk of entering a nursing home and three times the risk of dying over a two-year period compared with those reporting no difficulty.
"Research has consistently found that exercise is associated with lower risk for physical decline," said Kritchevsky. "But despite exercise's benefit, individual responses vary and our current findings about the ACE genotype may help explain why."
The same ACE gene combination associated with better function in exercising older adults has been associated with superior muscle strength and power in young elite athletes. The current study was designed to test whether ACE production also affects physical function in older exercisers.
The gene that controls ACE production can be inherited in three different combinations. Only about 19 percent of study participants had the combination associated with lower ACE production and did not benefit as much from exercise as others. However, they still did better than those who didn't exercise.
"The results underscore the need to learn more about how the ACE system influences human health," Kritchevsky said.
Co-researchers are from Vrije Universtiteit (the Netherlands), National Institute on Aging, University of Pittsburgh, University of Tennessee, Memphis, University of Wisconsin - Madison, University of California-San Francisco, and University of Florida-Gainsville.

Since the 2000s the sensory marketing is more and more used by the brands. What's the interest for them? Why did the sensory marketing become so famous, and sometimes inseparable of a brand?
The musical atmosphere
When you walk into certain stores, shopping centers, cinemas, medical offices, etc. you certainly noticed the music playing at this moment. Indeed, several public places use the marketing sound, especially because some studies showed that music affects the perception of time for the buyers.
Companies quickly realized the importance of this kind of marketing, and do business in this domain. It is for example the case of the company named Midiscom, which has its own musical creation studio.
Several brands also invest in jingles, and some of them became recognizable in the first seconds, like the one of Mc Donald's, Samsung, Evian, Dim, Coca-Cola, etc.
An attractive visual
The view is the most requested sense because the most stimulated by the environment, either through screens, displays or texts, etc. "80 % of the information reach the man by the intervention of the view." That's why it's essential for the brands to create an attractive visual by taking care of choosing the right colors, forms, textures, motives, during the conception of a product, advertising campaign, exhibition, etc.
The logo conception is an important step if you want to succeed in visual marketing, because this one must stay in the consumer's mind. The brand Apple is a very good example of a logo, with its famous apple.
A scent logo
To add an atmosphere perfume can also be a real advantage. The sense of smell is a powerful sense which can stimulate at the same time our memory and emotions: "The rate of loss of the olfactive memory is around 5 %, while visual memory is around 20 %."
More and more brands appeal to companies specialized in scent marketing, Natarom for example, which helps them to build their own scent identity. For more details feel free to read this article.
The taste above all
It often happens to meet, in big cities, brand ambassadors who distribute products made by brands, such as have already made Michel and Augustin, or M&M's. This allows to promote the brand, but also the consumers to test the products.
We also find in shops some tasting stands for food such as cheese, delicatessen, fruits … And all this in order to encourage customers to buy the product. But "all the brands can't cheat on their products, the customer will like or will not like the taste. »
A pleasant touch
The tactile marketing must not be underestimated, given that the client judges what he touches. The sensation should be pleasant. For this, the choice of the product material and shape must be favored.
Please note that you can find two different sorts of tactile: the instrumental touch (in order to have more information on the product) and the touch where the customer wants to experience a feeling.
The contact that can have the consumer with the sellers, products or store environment, has a real influence on the sensation of his comfort and well-being, which will decide him so spend more time or not in the shop.
Nowadays customers are submerged by many brands and products. Introduce the sensory marketing in your strategy can become a real way of differentiation, as well as a real added value. As the professor Béatrice Querette said: "What matters for the client, it's to buy a personal sensation […]"
And to encourage the feelings, what's better than the sensory marketing!?
Feel free to share with us your opinion on this subject by leaving a comment.

The main witness in the first of the so-called 'death squad murder trials' this afternoon denied that he received gun shot wounds in 2012 because he was implicated in a gang feud.
The witness was responding to questions from Defence Attorney, Norman Godfrey, who represents accused Police Constable, Collis 'Chuckie' Brown.
Brown and fellow Constable Rohan Morrison are accused of wounding with intent and murder in connection with an incident in February 2010 where the witness was shot and injured.
Another man was also fatally shot during the 2010 incident.
While responding to questions from Mr. Godfrey this afternoon, the witness admitted that he was also shot in 2012. But he denied that he was shot by gunmen or as a result a gang feud.
The witness also denied that he used to frequent an area in Clarendon called Big Yard.
Mr. Godfrey asked the witness – do you know a place called big yard?
The witness told Mr. Godfrey that the only time he has ever heard mention of Big Yard is during a song by dancehall entertainer, Vybz Kartel.
The defence attorney again suggested to the witness that he told the Police that he used to frequent Big Yard in Clarendon.
The witness denied the claim and said Police personnel who took his statement in 2010 may have written what he did not say.
During cross examination this afternoon, the witness admitted that when he gave a statement to the Police in 2010 he had said that at one point he could barely see the faces of the Policemen who he later accused of shooting him.
However, Prosecutors intervened and accused Mr. Godfrey of failing to highlight sections of the same witness statement where the witness had implicated Constables Brown and Morrison in murder and shooting with intent.
Presiding Judge Jennifer Straw responded by directing the defence attorney to ask his questions without excluding relevant information.
The witness also denied suggestions by Mr. Godfrey that he told a series of lies to the Police during a statement he gave in 2010.
That statement led to the Constables being charged.
The witness told the Court today that he may have omitted some details from his 2010 statement due to his ill health.
He told the Court that when he gave the statement tubes were in his, nose, chest and penis.
The witness had given a similar explanation yesterday when defence attorney Godfrey suggested to him that he had made false claims during the statement he gave to he Police in 2010.
The Attorney for Constable Brown is to resume his Cross Examination of the witness tomorrow.

The purpose of this project is to examine the three Sonatas for Violin and Piano by Taiwanese composer Dr. Wen-Pin Hope Lee. The inspiration for these three sonatas comes from different aspects of the culture of Taiwan, and these influences occur so naturally within the music that one can neglect the beauty of them. In daily life, people tend to ignore those simple things that occur around them, but if they just pay close attention, there are always beautiful elements that can bring small miracles to their life. Lee's sonatas are the result of his careful consideration of the beautiful …

American Iron Magazine 5 Simple Ways To Improve Your Harley, Indian or Victory Today
Yes, it is winter season and many of us can't ride our Harley, Indian or Victory motorcycle until the weather improves. But that doesn't mean we can't spend some time with our motorcycles to make them better for now and for those spring rides.
Here are 5 simple things from the team at American Iron Magazine you can do today to your Harley, Indian or Victory motorcycle to make it better.
- CLEAN MACHINE Take an hour or two to carefully wash and wax your bike top to bottom and front to back. This includes all painted, plated and chrome surfaces. Besides making the bike look better, you are removing baked on dirt and crud that holds moisture that could lead to rust.
- SAFETY CHECK Now that your motorcycle is clean, give it a safety check. Look for worn or loose items like tires, wiring and connections, suspension, final belt drive (or chain) and hardware. Now is a good time to fix or replace what is needed for a safe, dependable and fun ride.
- ERGONOMICS Put your bike on a stand or lift and sit on it as you would when riding. How are the ergonomics and feel of the bike when stationary? Do you like where your handlebars are or would you be more comfortable sliding them forward or backward a few inches? How about the clutch and brake levers – would they feel better up or down a little? How about your shifter – up or down for a better feel. Most of these adjustments are simple and can be done in a few minutes. Just be sure everything is tight and proper when finished.
- LEVELS Check your tire pressure and oil levels. If they are low now is a good time to top them off to factory spec. Sounds simple enough, and it is.
- BATTERY Maintain and charge your battery. If you have not ridden your motorcycle in a while, it's a good idea to check it out. Check the acid level of the cells and top off with fresh distilled water if needed (Not necessary with a newer sealed battery) check and clean the terminals. Then hook up a smart battery charger to top off the charge. You'll be glad you did in the spring.
This free advice is brought to you by American Iron Magazine, the world's best selling American V-twin magazine.

Recycling Piano for Computer Desk, Creative Vintage Furniture Design Idea
Posted in
Recycling a piano for a computer desk is a wonderful, interesting and eco friendly idea that turns an old piano into a unique vintage furniture piece. The computer desks that reuse, recycle and upcycle old pianos look original and unusual, and can tell lots of stories about the previous owners, while bringing the music theme into interior design.
An old piano is a precious item that can inspire to turn clutter into treasure. A piano which is no longer needed can be transformed into wood furniture pieces, like home office desks, – computer desks, writing desks and student desks. Instead of throwing them out to the dump, creative design helps turn old pianos into functional, interesting and very unique vintage furniture pieces.
Clutter or treasure, the old piano surprises and delights by adding a masterpiece to modern interior design. American designer Brandon Monk specializes in the use of recycled materials and antiques. His work that transformed an old piano into this vintage computer desk is amazing.
Piano computer desk
The designer selected light colors for the computer desk to blend in with the iMac and MacBook. The wood furniture frame is almost untouched, featuring details of a string mechanism of an old piano. Designer kept these details for visual and aural feast for the senses. The piano keys have been removed and sanded wood pieces of different wood types created a nice computer desk top.
This amazing wood furniture pieces feature cherry, oak, poplar, pine and spruce wood pieces that give different colors to the computer desk top and create interesting surface texture that reminds of the original key. This creative design idea brings the beautiful music theme into modern interior design.
The same technique was used for design of the bench. The fabulous transformation of the antique piano in a modern computer desk shows an inspiring way to reuse, recycle and upcycle old pianos and wood furniture items, giving them new life and stylishly blending them with modern interior design.

The Music Hack Day didn't just see us arrive with a lot enthusiasm, but also with a brand new API extension that exposes audio features, similar song playlists and Spotify URIs. And we won prizes!
Photos by Thomas Bonte
All awesomeness hype aside, the Hack Day really was a nice experience, and even the 3 hour marathon that was Sunday's demo session was a joy to watch because of the great quality of the hacks. It was my first hack day, and I was truly impressed (see Wired's and Insider's take on it). So what did we do?
My oh my, an API!
You may have noticed from my previous blog posts (Anatomy of the UK Charts, Parts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5) that we have put quite a lot of effort into finding a mix of well-tested and newly developed audio features that capture distinct attributes of audio recordings, such as energy, harmonic creativity and smoothness. Just to be totally clear: no Last.fm tags and no Last.fm scrobble magic are involved, only pure audio features, retrieved directly from the original recordings.
We calculated 21 of these features on 2 Million of our most scrobbled recordings and Mark built a neat, very fast service to host them. Since Friday this service has been publicly accessible through our outward-facing Last.fm API, thanks to Duncan's API magic. You can either ask for certain feature ranges and retrieve a list of songs that satisfy them, or you can retrieve the audio features themselves by providing the track's artist and title. Of course, bringing even the shiniest of APIs doesn't qualify as a hack...
Driver's Seat — steer your music playlisting!
Since I'd been very impressed with Spotify's new app integration I persuaded Sven to help me build a hack that nicely exposes how good our new API is at audio feature playlisting. And because it puts you in control of steering your music we called it Driver's Seat (screenshot). Below you see a video of the resulting Driver's Seat Spotify app in action.
According to your preferences you select a preset, or adjust feature sliders and hit "Go get playlist!" and the app will fire a http request to the Last.fm API that looks like this
The result is a list of tracks that we then get the Spotify URI of using another brand new API of ours that loves requests such as this:
We really liked our hack because it allows music discovery to be uninhibited by artist genre or history — it just gives you the kind of music you request. The Spotify team liked it so much that they gave us their hack prize, which we share with a hack called CTRL — two of the 18 Spotify hacks.
PitchFork Effect
Sven and I weren't the only ones hacking away though. Alex produced some intriguing visualisations of how PitchFork reviews influence Last.fm listening stats... and received one of the two prizes from MusicMetric. Marek also made a cute little virtual album store as an antidote to the all too modern iTunes and Amazon stores. And Coffey re-worked a previous hack of his to scrobbling tracks at gigs you go to: it uses the set lists available through setlist.fm's API—find the hack here.

Newest Star Wars Trailer Just Dropped And It Looks Amazing
The latest trailer for Star Wars: Rogue One has dropped and it looks like things are about to get pretty dark in a galaxy far, far away.
Rogue One will tell the story of Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones) and a group of plucky rebels as they try and steal the plans to the Empire's newest super weapon, the planet destroying Death Star.
Directed by Gareth Edwards (Godzilla, Monsters) Rogue One will bridge the gaps between Episode III and Episode IV and is supposedly a far darker tale than any film we've seen before.
If the trailers have been anything to go by then he's not wrong.
Each trailer has highlighted the effects the titular 'Star Wars' are having on the galaxy and its citizens.
While there won't be any Jedi in the film. the Dark Side will be making an appearance in the form of the Emperor's number one lapdog Anakin Skywalker – better known as Darth Vader.
Despite the film looking amazing there are some naysayers in the film world who are worried about Rogue One. The film was forced to undergo reshoots earlier this year amid speculation that Disney execs weren't pleased with the tone of the film.
Director Gareth Edwards has done his best to assuage fears that Rogue One won't live up to J.J. Abram's Episode VII, however, explaining that reshoots are just par for the course on blockbusters of this size.
Rogue One opens across the UK on December 16, 2016.

Migration Of The Device
Even though I'm nearly done with a full-length recording that I hope to make available by November/December, I've got a new 4-song release now available that I finished much earlier this year. I began work on these songs in late 2012, and their ultimate destination was to be on a vinyl split with an awesome artist on an equally awesome label. But, as these things go, for a variety of reasons well beyond my control, it seems that this isn't going to happen. At least not in time for me to get this music out there before I begin finishing up my full-length. I won't bore you with any of the details any further, but I'm moving forward and releasing this one on Bandcamp today . . . before it gets lost in the glut of other musical output.
It's called Migration Of The Device, and it's in line with the electronic-oriented style of things that I've been doing for the past few years on other solo releases. This one, however, is quite different than the last couple (2011's Under Dim Self and 2012's Scalps Of Gods) in the respect that I employed some freshly-outside devices for inspiration towards the texture, mood and lyrical content (all of which is on the release site, if you want to see) of the 4 pieces. Oddball personal tarot spreads and readings from a variety of occult texts were sources of great inspiration for this collection, and I really think they shine darkly and smartly through the sonics that I was able to conjure.
In short, I'm completely happy with it! It's a quick (20+ minutes), noisy jaunt through a few months of my life. I'm so glad to finally get it out into the cold light of day . . . and I'm equally elated to be able to move on to another recording well on it's way to being finished. This is part of musical closure for me . . . these four songs being precursors to something even bigger & better that is nearly completed. Both of these writing and recording sessions have allowed me to move my music and my ideas into a new area that I'm excited about. Details on all this stuff are coming very soon.
You can listen to and download Migration Of The Device on my Bandcamp site, as well as all the other releases. Downloads of this new one come with a packet of drawings and photos from the recording session. As always, I truly appreciate your support and I hope you enjoy what I've made. More is definitely on the way…

| 10.6°C Dublin
ARSENAL striker Robin van Persie has been named the Professional Footballers' Association Player of the Year.
The 28-year-old Dutch international has scored 27 Premier League goals so far this season - his best return for the north London club - and was proud to be honoured by a poll of top-flight players.
"If other people are saying it, it is special, but it is even more special if your opponents are saying it," he said. "It is a big honour."
Van Persie may have picked up the top honour but he was quick to point out it would not have been possible without his Arsenal team-mates.
"Without them I could not have achieved it," he said at the awards ceremony held at London's Grosvenor House.
Title-chasing Manchester City had four of their players named in the PFA's Premier League Team of the Year.
Joe Hart was selected between the posts while there were also places for defender Vincent Kompany and midfielders Yaya Touré and David Silva.
Tottenham had three players included, with England internationals Kyle Walker – also named Young Player of the Year – and Scott Parker joined by last year's PFA Player of the Year Gareth Bale.
Wayne Rooney was the only representative from Manchester United.
Newcastle have been the surprise package of the season and were represented in the XI by Argentina defender Fabricio Coloccini. Everton full-back Leighton Baines was rewarded for another impressive season with a place in the team, meaning there were no representatives from Champions League semi-finalists Chelsea.
Champions Reading have only one player in the Championship Team of the Year – defender Ian Harte.
Southampton, who could be promoted om Monday, have goalkeeper Kelvin Davis, midfielder Adam Lallana and forward Rickie Lambert in the team.
James Tomkins and Mark Noble were West Ham's two representatives with the rest of the team made up of individuals from other clubs.
Ched Evans, who was convicted of rape earlier this week, was named alongside Sheffield United team-mates Harry Maguire and Stephen Quinn in the League One team.
Charlton, who secured the title on Saturday, have four players in the side with Ben Hamer, Michael Morrison, Rhoys Wiggins and Johnnie Jackson making the cut.
Jordan Rhodes and defender Jack Hunt were Huddersfield's two players with MK Dons pair Stephen Gleeson and Darren Potter also included.
Paolo Di Canio has guided Swindon to promotion from League Two and two of his side, Paul Caddis and Matt Ritchie, were named in that division's team of the year.
PFA Premier League Team of the Year: Joe Hart (Manchester City); Kyle Walker (Tottenham), Vincent Kompany (Man City), Fabricio Coloccini (Newcastle), Leighton Baines (Everton), David Silva (Man City), Yaya Toure (Man City), Gareth Bale (Tottenham), Scott Parker (Tottenham); Robin van Persie (Arsenal), Wayne Rooney (Manchester United)
Championship team: Davis (Southampton), Clyne (Crystal Palace), Tomkins (West Ham), Davies (Birmingham), Harte (Reading), Lallana (Southampton), Whittingham (Cardiff), Noble (West Ham), Phillips (Blackpool), Lambert (Southampton), Rodriguez (Burnley).
League One team: Hamer (Charlton), Hunt (Huddersfield), Morrison (Charlton), Maguire (Sheff Utd), Wiggins (Charlton), Jackson (Charlton), Quinn (Sheff Utd), Gleeson (MK Dons), Potter (MK Dons), Rhodes (Huddersfield), Evans (Sheff Utd).
League Two team: Olejnik (Torquay), Caddis (Swindon), McFadzean (Crawley), Sharps (Shrewsbury), Nicholson (Torquay), Ritchie (Swindon), Pack (Cheltenham), O'Kane (Torquay), Mansell (Torquay), McLeod (Barnet), Barnett (Crawley).

Montreal Esports secures a spot in Blizzard's Overwatch Contenders seriesif (has_post_video()) { ?>
Montreal Esports secures a spot in Blizzard's Overwatch Contenders series
On February 13th, 2018, Montreal Esports confirmed the acquisition of a spot in the Overwatch Contenders series, a spot which was bought back from the Rogue organization that was recently acquired by ReKTGlobal. With this spot, Montreal Esports is now being thrusted into the international electronic sports scene.
From February 19th, 2018, players selected by Montreal Esports came from countries around the world to attend personalized training sessions at the Montreal Esports offices, located on Saint-Laurent Boulevard.
Just like actual athletes, they will be monitored on a daily basis by a nutritionist and will be tended to by professional coaches. These dispositions put forward by Montreal Esports are in line with what the organization aims to offer to its players: a change in people's vision of the world of video games and electronic sports.
Created and organized by Blizzard Entertainment, the Overwatch Contenders series is a video game competition entirely dedicated to its flagship title, Overwatch.
This competition is open to all. Participation can be granted either by competing in the Open Division team tournament, or by acquiring a "spot."
The Contenders are a stepping stone leading to the professional competition level which is encompassed by the Overwatch League.
Blizzard Entertainment aims to promote eSports, and has thus created its own league. 12 teams are currently involved with this league, split in two divisions: the Atlantic Division and the Pacific Division.
Each team represents a city, with the exception of Los Angeles which has two teams.

He added that increasing foreign ownership in domestic stock market indicates that Indonesia's economic fundamental is still strong.
"Therefore, foreign investment funds are actually not released, they only realize some of the profit, we need to be optimistic about the future development," he said.

A University of Queensland (UQ) marine scientist's efforts to reduce the impact of climate change have been honoured by Prince Albert II of Monaco.
The Prince presented his annual Climate Change Award to UQ Global Change Institute Director Professor Ove Hoegh-Guldberg at the 2014 Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation Award Ceremony in the USA this week.
The award recognises people actively involved in helping to protect the environment for future generations.
"Time is running out and political decisions are slow in coming," Prince Albert II said.
"That is why, to encourage them, speed them up and support them, we more than ever need bold initiatives and an audacity of spirit, like those we are honouring this evening.
"This is the whole meaning of today's ceremony – to encourage and support, to highlight that it is possible to do something.
"In view of the urgency of this action, our primary duty is to regain hope. This is the purpose of this Foundation and its commitment worldwide."
UQ President and Vice-Chancellor Professor Peter Høj said the award was well-deserved.
"Professor Hoegh-Guldberg was among the first to raise the alarm about the seriousness of climate change and its impact on coral reefs, in a landmark paper published in 1999," Professor Høj said.
"Since then he has worked tirelessly to improve understanding of how humans impact marine ecosystems, focusing on how global climate change might affect communities and industries dependent on these ecosystems.
"Professor Hoegh-Guldberg epitomises the University's goal to conduct research that has genuine impact.
"His impressive research career is matched by his commitment to increasing awareness of climate change, both here and abroad."
Professor Hoegh-Guldberg said he was delighted to receive the award.
"Being presented this award by Prince Albert is a true honour, and I feel deeply humbled to have been recognised in this way," he said.
"I am extremely privileged as I genuinely love the work that I do."
"I'm committed to tackling global issues such as climate change so that future generations can continue to enjoy the ocean and environment."
Professor Hoegh-Guldberg is one of the world's most cited academic authors on climate change, with more than 15,000 scientific citations.
He was Coordinating Lead Author for the oceans chapter of the recently published Fifth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, has been awarded the prestigious Eureka Prize for scientific research, and is a member of the Australian Academy of Science.
Professor Hoegh-Guldberg is travelling to Washington DC to celebrate his award with UQ alumni.

This Miso glaze is out of this world and incredibly simple. I put it on the salmon first and then I couldn't bear for the last bit to go to waste, so I drizzled the rest on the broccoli I was sauteing.
Here's what you need:
– Salmon
– White Miso
– Soy Sauce
– Rice Wine Vinegar
– Sesame Seeds
Whisk together 2 tsp miso, 1 tsp rice vinegar, 1 tsp soy sauce. Spread over salmon and broil for 6-9 minutes. Toast a few tsp of sesame seeds (be careful! They toast fast, but it's SO worth the extra minute). Garnish salmon with sesame seeds – enjoy!
I paired this with some brown rice I had already cooked (I do this at the beginning in the week and then portion into ziplock bags and store in the fridge for a quick healthy side) and some broccoli.

Emma Adams Wedding Photography
About Me
I was born in Chichester, on the south coast of England, and live with my husband Nick and have 2 wonderful sons. I worked in south London for a few years, then mainly locally in the West Sussex and Hampshire counties. I successfully completed an Open University course in digital photography 6 years ago, and then shortly after the Diploma in Wedding Photography.
Why wedding photography ? I simply love it! Each wedding is so different. I love the people, seeing the brides dress for the first time, the story-telling, emotions and watching everything unfold through my lens. I love seeing the details, and to be able to capture these moments that will be treasured forever is an amazing feeling.
Hobbies wise, the whole family loves to travel and, of course, many photos are taken! We love Lake Garda in Italy, and recently we visited Iceland and Norway for the truly stunning scenery.
Health and fitness are an important part of my life too, and a great way for me to take time out, especially when I have a few editing days! I am also a 'sober photographer', so no alcohol for me!
Do give me a call, text or email to discuss your wedding day, as I would love to hear all about it!

I am very fortunate to see a good many dogs in my day to day life, but not all of them are normal. There is for instance, my own very intense, military lines German Shepherd. Nice guy. Not really normal. Or my Chessie. Another nice guy. Also not normal. I have an intern with me these days; nice lady, with a very normal Keshond. In fact he is pretty much the only normal dog I know at the moment. I also have a six month old lab and a four month old German Shepherd in the house who aren't normal either.
All of the "not normal" dogs I have really ARE normal, in the context of what I do. Eco, my GSD, works his behind off for me doing sport. He would be equally happy as a police or military dog. He would be a menace as a house pet. D'fer, my chessie works hard taking care of me as a service dog. Similar to Eco, he would not make a very good pet. He is altogether too intense and active to make a good house dog. Unless you would like to know when you are anxious, and when you should take your meds and when you should get up in the morning. These dogs have responsibilities, and they thrive on their work.
Widget the six month old lab is a service dog in training. He does pretty intense training on a day to day basis, and he is also doing public access training regularly. He is a pretty responsible guy all things considered. He might make a good pet for someone who desires to have brains and enough energy to run a nuclear submarine in one loving package of chocolate Labrador. Friday is also a service dog in training; she is 16 weeks old and keeps us on our toes. She has just started doing public access visits too. I don't think she would be happy as a pet though; just not enough structure or training or exercise for her taste.
All my dogs are pretty far off of normal. That is just fine for me as I know that each has strengths and weaknesses, and I play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses. That does not always work out for my clients. My clients in the Good Dog program come to me with dogs who are not normal too; often though, the people they live with don't recognize that their version of not normal needs some special handling. One of the most important questions that I ask myself as a behaviour consultant is "Where would this dog be "normal". Today I met a sweet little dog who would be very normal as an only dog on a quiet mountain farm where she did not have to meet anyone new, or any new dogs, or climb any stairs. Preferably in an open concept house. The dog currently lives in a busy two story home in the middle of town. My job is to make the compromises so that this dog can find a peaceful way to live in an environment that is alien to what he would like to live in.
In my mid twenties I worked for the federal government. I was an agriculture inspector. I was not a very good agriculture inspector and I didn't like the work. In fact I hated the job, and in that job I was extremely NOT normal. I ended up on stress leave and when I got back, the federal government did me a huge favour. They fired me. They decided that I was just not the right person for that job. I feel very lucky that they fired me; I didn't want to do the job, I wasn't good at it and I didn't know enough about myself at that point to do something other than that job. I felt stuck, like I didn't have any choices.
For many of the dogs I meet, they grow up understanding one reality, and end up plonked down into another. They may have the genetics to do one job, and be stuck in another. When we look at what "normal" is for a particular dog, we can often figure out what compromises we can make to make the situation "normal" for that dog. Unlike me, they are unlikely to get fired and end up in a better situation. When we start to look at what would be "normal" for our abnormal dogs, we start to be able to find middle ground where we can start from.
Where we can make the biggest difference in the lives of dogs is to think about what "normal" looks like in your life before you choose your dog. Does your normal include a lot of people? Because if it does, then no matter how much you like that guarding breed, his "normal" isn't going to be the same as yours. If your normal includes lots of hunting and fishing and camping, and you love the look of a greyhound, you and the greyhound are going to each have to make some serious adjustments to make that work out. The greyhound is not going to enjoy river rafting even if you do get a life jacket on him. And you are not going to enjoy hanging out indoors when it gets cold and rainy. Your normal is the best place to start when you are thinking about what kind of a dog is going to fit into your life.
My intern's Keshond is an interesting example of normal. He is normal at the moment. In Canada. In the fall. At home, in the southern United States, he really is not normal. There, for nine months out of 12, he is not normal. He is hot and uncomfortable in that incredible coat. In order to live there, his people keep the air conditioning turned down as low as they can tolerate it and they walk him only at night. And interestingly, her most recent dog is not a Keshond.

"We will open the book. It's pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and it's first chapter is New Year's Day".
~ Edith Lovejoy Pierce
I love New Years day, symbolically it's a fresh start, a new chapter. A time to make plans and resolutions for the upcoming year. One of the most common New Years resolutions is to lose weight. Over indulgence over the holiday season is the norm and when January 1st rolls around many people think "where did this extra 10 to 15 pounds come from". Well Thank Goodness for Slender Fit U's hCG weight Loss program ……. this is the easiest and most effective weight loss program available, bar none! When I did this program a number of years ago it literally changed my life. I lost 25lbs, my body fat distribution changed dramatically, and most importantly I've had no problem keeping it off! My metabolism is faster without a doubt, I can eat more things and I don't gain weight but more importantly I make much better food choices and I have a different relationship with food. This is because the Slender Fit U hCG weight loss program, when done correctly corrects your hypothalamus and resets your metabolism. Check out my before and after photos by clicking here.
So if your New Years resolution is to lose weight, then pick a program that actually works and will give you results. Give Slender Fit U's hCG weight loss program a try. There's a reason they call us the hCG experts. We get the best results! Our female clients are losing 15lbs in 23 days and 30 lbs in 46 days, and our male clients are losing 25lbs in 23 days and 40 to 50lbs in 46 days, with no hunger, with more energy and feeling GREAT!!
When I first started working with hCG for weight loss, it was unheard of here in South Florida, even though it had been used for weight loss for almost 60 years worldwide. hCG has become very popular in the last few years and unfortunately not everyone is doing it the right way. We get new clients weekly that have tried it other places without success and finally get the results they want with Slender Fit U's program! Experience does matter and with Slender Fit U you can rest assured that you WILL achieve the best weight loss results and will be guided and supported throughtout the program by me personally and my wonderful staff!
Happy New Year from Geri Correa and Slender Fit U 🙂

TEHRAN, June 20 (Bernama) — The Malaysian Agricultural Research and Development Institute (Mardi) plans to forge collaborations with the Agricultural Biotechnology Research Institute of Iran (ABRII).
Mardi Director-General Datuk Dr Abd Shukor Abd Rahman said: "Based on the strengths that they and we have, we can identify several focus areas for the commercialisation of agricultural research findings."
He was speaking to Bernama after attending a meeting between the Malaysian Agriculture and Agro-based Industry Ministry's delegation and representatives from the Iran Chamber of Commerce and Industries and Mines (ICCIM) here.
The Malaysian delegation to the meeting was led by the ministry's Deputy Secretary-General (Planning) Ibrahim Muhamad. Other members included Agriculture Department Director-General Datuk Sofian Mohd Salleh and Veterinary Services Department Deputy Director-General Datuk Dr Ahmad Suhaimi Omar.
Dr Abd Shukor said ABRII was involved, among others, in herb-based pharmaceutical research and biotechnology-related food production like halal enzymes and halal food ingredients, just like Mardi.
He said Mardi was also ready to help match the private sectors in Malaysia and Iran to explore new markets and enhanced the existing ones while the Iranian institute planned to send their biotechnology experts for training at Mardi.
He also urged Malaysian businesses to spread their wings to Iran and this region.
Among the potential fields are the development of seeds and farming materials through tissue culture and the supply of high quality dates, bananas, potatoes, orchids, pineapples, papayas and other tropical fruits.
Others include the production of food high in fiber, vitamin and minerals, the development of perfumery and aromatherapy products, spas and herb-based food like pachulli, lemon grass and lemon as food flavours.
Dr Abd Shukor said what that could be learnt from Iran was the innovative spirit exhibited by their researchers who had to work with limited facilities due to economic sanctions imposed on the country.
"Despite having limited facilities, they are able to produce something and are expanding their human resources and they have many young researchers who speak English well," he said.
On today's meeting with the ICCIM, he said halal food was among the industry that drew the attention of many Iranian businessmen besides herb-based food products.
"Iran can become a passageway for Malaysian halal products not only to Iran and other Muslim countries in the region but also the non-Muslim countries," he said.
The meeting with the ICCIM was part of the itinerary of the five-day visit of the Agriculture and Agro-based Industry Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin and his delegation to Iran that began on Monday.
Muhyiddin, however, did not attend the meeting because he was making a one-day visit to Esfahan.
Malaysia is scheduled to sign a memorandum of understanding on agricultural cooperation with Iran tomorrow.

10. Teens. Nobody likes the internet more than teenagers, so let them have it all the time with a fast, secure connection like those from 4G wireless, and they'll surely be eternally grateful!
9. Adults. Today more and more adults depend on the internet for work, study, and general communication not just with their teenagers but with each other. Make it easy with a new kind of internet connection!
8. Second Home Owners. If you are sick of paying for two internet connections, two mortgages, two electric bills and two of everything else, why not make it easier on yourself and go for one 4G wireless connection that works no matter where you are around town?
7. Social Networking Addicts. If you always need to know what's going on with your friends and contacts, and staying at home just to be close to high speed internet is starting to drag on your actual social life, it may be time to consider taking the show on the road!
6. Students. Studying doesn't just happen in the library, sometimes it happens at home, or while on break from your part time job. Make the most of those moments to research, send assignments, communicate, and generally cram more knowledge into your brain with a constant source of high speed internet.
5. Small Business Owners. Having your own business means you are constantly pulled in 100 directions. Get someone to row with you by taking along 4G wireless internet everywhere you go. When you can get work done in your downtime, all while constantly being connected, customers and clients notice your commitment, while you get a little breathing room too!
4. Travelers. Anyone who moves about their city or country knows that finding a good internet connection can be a real pain. Don't waste any more time looking for a wireless or Wi-Fi connection, and instead be on the internet 24 hours a day whether at the hotel, on the way to a meeting, or just plain travelling around town.
3. Working Professionals. All working professionals, especially those with families, and dare it be said, LIVES have a lot to do. Try saving time and saving money by streamlining your mobile internet and home connection.
2. Commuters. If you are sitting in the backseat while stuck in traffic, carpooling to work, or even just sitting on the city bus or train, then you're likely thinking about all that valuable time that's going down the drain. Without the internet even if you have a computer there's only so much a commuter can do. If you had a fully mobile broadband network, however, you could be getting a jumpstart on your day even before reaching the office!
1. Communicators. The bottom line is that everyone likes to be in touch, and with the internet it's so much easier! Having a high speed mobile broadband connection with you anytime, anywhere means you can communicate with the best of them, so go nuts! Being on the internet means being in touch with the people you love.
