The Future of the Internet
I read this article at Slate.com over lunch today. I agree with the author's view that our devices will soon become so connected to the cloud that we'll cease to worry about their onboard processing power or storage capacity and I bloggged about this last year and the side effect it would have on reducing piracy. Farhad Manjoo is of course quite correct though to point out that this future is totally dependent on the network and mobile broadband speeds. He complains about the poor speeds in the US, he should try NZ, we dream about the sort of connectivity they have in the US. There's not much point in having everything in the cloud if you can't access it everywhere.

Windows Update is a tool built into Microsoft Windows, to easily allow users to update and patch their versions of Windows. As with virtually all software, bugs and security holes in Windows are being discovered all the time. The Blaster worm which infected computers the world over exploited a security hole which was actually patched on July 16th 2003, almost a month before the worm appeared. This means that anyone regularly running Windows Update would have been immune from the worm before the worm was actually released.
The Bugbear worm discovered in late September 2002 also affected a large number of users, and that exploited a hole that was patched in March 2001! Just like regular maintenance on your vehicle, running Windows Update every couple of weeks can help prevent problems from developing on your system.
To access Windows Update, you will need to be running Internet Explorer 5 or later. If you are running Windows ME, 2000 or XP, you will already have Internet Explorer 5 or 6. If you are running Windows 95 or 98, you may be running an earlier version of Internet Explorer. Please check and install the appropriate version of Internet Explorer first to continue.
To start Windows Update, connect to the internet. Then click on the Start menu, and choose Windows Update. You can also access it by clicking on the Tools menu in Internet Explorer, and then selecting Windows Update. Or you can simply enter http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ into the address bar in Internet Explorer.
Whichever method you choose, you will be taken to the Windows Update website. If you are having trouble viewing the site, make sure your Security settings are set to Default (click Tools, Internet Options, Security, Default level). Once there, Windows Update will check to make sure your computer is running the most recent version of the Windows Update Control Software. If not, a window will pop up asking you to install the latest version; choose yes. Once the latest version of the control software is installed, select "Scan for updates". Windows Update will then check your system to work out what updates are available.
This may take a few minutes, and Internet Explorer may appear to have hung; be patient.
The updates are divided into three categories - Critical Updates and Service Packs, Windows XP (or whichever version of Windows you are running) and Driver Updates.
If there are any Critical Updates available they will be automatically selected. If not, you can select the other updates by choosing the category from the list on the left, and then clicking the "Add" button for the updates you want to install. It is strongly recommended that you install ALL Critical Updates and Driver Updates. The other Windows Updates may provide new or enhanced Windows applications and add-ons such as foreign language support, DirectX, Windows Media Player, and so on; these updates are optional, not critical.
Once updates have been selected (either manually or automatically), click on Review and Install Updates to display a list of the selected updates. Sometimes, an update will need to be installed separately from other updates. If this is the case, use the Remove button to remove this update, or to remove all the other updates. Also note the size of the download and the estimated time it will take to download. If there are a lot of updates to download, it may take several hours. Please be aware that some updates (including Internet Explorer 6 and DirectX) download a relatively small control package, which will then attempt to download a large number of other files. The size of these other files are not included in the initial estimate of the size of the download. Usually these updates will require separate installation anyway. Of course, downloading the updates will take up your as much of your bandwidth as it can, which means that all other browsing, email, and other internet applications will run very slowly.
When you have selected the updates to install, click on the Install Now button. A Licence Agreement window will pop up, which you must accept to proceed. Once you click Accept, your updates will begin to download.
Once the updates have been downloaded, they will automatically install themselves (this may take several minutes). Usually you will then be prompted to restart your computer. Once this has occurred, the selected updates will have been installed on your computer. You should run Windows Update again, until there are no more Critical Updates to install, and you have all the other updates you want. You should then check for updates every couple of weeks.

Put inventive control in your hands, with the DSLR dial modes the KODAK EKTRA Smartphone has to offer. Nonetheless, whereas not all smartphones supply high-pace Internet entry, all of them offer some type of entry.

Shop for these excessive-end smartphones at Amazon India and experience technology at its finest. Regardless – the regular Galaxy S8 is a sheer marvel of a telephone, and rightly earns the crown of finest smartphone you should buy in 2017. In case you have been ever accustomed to the time period PDA (Private Digital Assistant), then a smartphone is a mobile phone/PDA on steroids.
Hal ini sangat penting, karena banyak orang tidak mempedulikan hal ini, banyak sekali orang yang membeli smartphone dengan harga dan speksifikasi yang tinggi padahal yang di gunakan sehari-hari cuma fitur-fitur yang bisa di gunakan dengan smartphone low-finish sekalipun, misalnya hanyalah sosial media, chatting, looking dan penggunaan sewajarnya.
LG G5, Samsung Galaxy S7 dan si Apple iPhone 7. Yuk kita intip lebih detail dari ketiga kandidat smartphone ini. You can now buy the smartphone that you've dreamt of at a budget-pleasant price by purchasing on-line on Tata CLiQ. Providing an in depth vary of Asus smartphones at low prices, we believe that's the best place to buy an Asus Android cellphone.
It is not perfect, with the display's finish selecting up fingerprints and the camera software program not always excellent, however the P10 Plus is a stable example of a 5.5-inch smartphone. A smartphone has an operating system (OS) similar to your PC or Mac and there are several operating systems obtainable just like there are on this planet of PC:s and laptops.

one estimate there should be around 40,000 in the whole site. Some of them have burials in them – at least 134 skeletons have been recovered from the site – while others do not. In general, there is not much difference between the pits and ditches that contain skeletons and those that do not. But a great deal of ordinary domestic trash has been found on the site, which certainly makes it look like people lived there. That is, the place was obviously a site of great ritual importance, but it was also a town. Like Jerusalem, say.

[SiC] Khalil Fong's Catchy Summer Track, "BB88"
Just dropping into share really quick this new song I just heard today, thanks to a recommendation from the lovely Jennifer M. via FB. I haven't ever really gotten into Khalil Fong, but his songs always catch my ear whenever I hear them.
He makes very light and coffeehouse-cool kind of songs, which I like more than other stuff I hear coming out from Hong Kong (though to be honest, I'm not a very faithful vigilant – I pretty much stick to what I know, which is Jay Chou). Lots of smooth crooning and catchy beats, just like little hooks tugging at your lobes as the tune wafts by – seriously, that's the extent of the catchiness.
This song appears to be his new summer track, with lyrics simple enough so that even I can understand most of them. And I appreciate the wordplay with BB88 (88, pronounce "ba ba" in Mandarin, sounds like bye bye and is so used in texting or online conversation, so the title is basically saying "baby bye bye"), which isn't revolutionary but isn't saccharine or too out there (as English misappropriations sometimes get – you know what I mean!).
Anyway, definitely a talented songwriter. Hope he continues to add quality stuff into the Mandopop mix.
Back to Jay: Reviewing 2011 Release, "Mine Mine"
So Jay Chou decided to get in some super savvy points, releasing his 11th album on the 11th of this month (while neighbors in fellow East Asian countries were likely having a ball with Pocky/Peppero Day's of epic proportions!). Here's one of the tracks, Mine Mine:
Regarding music, Jay's one of my old favorites since I got into him in high school; I always tend to like his songs. He's a proficient pianist and composer, completing all the writing and arrangement of his music, and when he writes lyrics I often find them interesting and touching even in their relative simplicity (Jay's longtime co-writer, lyricist Vincent Fang, is widely known for his crafted, poetic lyrics). With that control over his music, all of his songs seem to bear a stamp of his style, and I can usually identify a new song as his just from listening.
Maybe that's why though I like his work, nothing from him has excited me very much since his fourth album. It's not that I feel he needs to change or reinvent himself – it's more that I feel like he's gotten complacent being Mandopop's reigning king for so long. In my opinion, that lack of being challenged and pushing himself reflects in the music. So, this new song still doesn't make me super excited, but it's okay. It would be pleasant enough if he hadn't stuck in those mine mine's and bye bye's in.
However, after a year in Korea, there are some very refreshing aspects of this music video and song. Read the rest of this entry
[WS] Mandopop taking steps toward K-pop?
Asian stars copy Korean look, sound
SINGAPORE — As if Korean pop stars do not have enough competition from their own countrymen in the crowded entertainment industry, they now have to contend with Mandopop singers who are copying their look and sound.
More and more Taiwan-based stars are repackaging themselves in the mold of their Korean counterparts — singing fast infectious tunes with sleek dance moves complete with more adventurous styling.
The record labels of Taiwanese boy band Sigma and Singapore talents Derrick Hoh and Jocie Guo sent them to Korea to learn from dance choreographers for their new albums. Hoh also sought the expertise of Korean boy band Shinee's stylist for his second album Change, released this year.
In addition, Taiwanese artists are also collaborating with Korean stars to incorporate Korean pop elements into their songs. Wilber Pan recruited Nichkhun from Korean boy band 2PM to feature in his new song, Drive, from his newly released album, 808.
Danson Tang worked with Amber from Korean girl group f(x) for his song "I'm Back," released last year.
Industry insiders admit they are riding on the surge of the Korean pop wave.
James Kang, marketing director of Warner Music, which manages Hoh and Guo, says: "Taiwan has long been the place that Chinese artists go to for their training. However, over the years, we have seen increasingly similar dance moves in the hordes of artists that emerge from there every year. Therefore, training in Korea injects fresh elements into Derrick and Jocie's appeal.
"Korean acts are known for their sleek dance moves and interesting choreography. Sending our artists to train there helps achieve something that is out of the box for the Chinese music industry."
He cites as examples the "hot and highly synchronized dance moves complete with trademark movements" of Brown Eyed Girls' "Abracadabra" and Super Junior's "Sorry Sorry."
Derek Shih, marketing director of HIM International Music, agrees that Korean dance moves are outstanding, "which is why we decided to tap on their skills and professionalism to come up with the dance moves for our new boy band, Sigma."
For their self-titled debut album, released late last year, Sigma, which comprises Judy Chou, Mrtting Li and Tommy Lin, flew to Korea to learn from a dance choreographer who had worked with the likes of superstar Rain and girl group Wonder Girls.
Chou says in Mandarin: "The training was not easy and we practiced really hard. It is great that we get to learn from a top-notch teacher. Korean acts have very polished and sleek dance moves and we hope to be like them. We aim to be just like Korean boy band Big Bang. They can sing and dance well and are multi-talented."
Besides that, the adventurous and unconventional styling of Korean acts — such as the bold use of eyeliner, daring hairstyles and an androgynous image — is also another distinctive factor.
Members of boy band Shinee got many fans talking about their outrageous, brightly colored hairstyles in their latest studio album Lucifer (2010). Girl group 2NE1 are also well known for their loud, in-your-face stage costumes and edgy haircuts.
Hoh has since copied such styles, going from boy-next-door in his first album to sporting a daring haircut with a more colorful getup recently.
The catchy tunes sung by Korean acts with insidiously repetitive phrases and use of unusual lingo have also found their way into, for instance, Taiwanese boy band Lollipop F's song "Four Dimensions (2010)," which repeats the words "Crazy! Go crazy! Go crazy!" in its chorus.
It is common to find a word or phrase being repeated many times in the chorus of a Korean pop song. The entire chorus of T-ara's hit "Bo Peep Bo Peep" consists of "Bo peep bo peep," while boy band Super Junior's famous song "Sorry Sorry" has them repeating the words over and over again.
Fans do not mind the K-pop imitation, saying that incorporating K-pop elements can raise the standard of Chinese pop.
Student Jaslyn Tan, 19, says: "Korean pop groups are very well-trained and they seldom make mistakes during performances. It is great that Chinese pop acts are taking a leaf out of their books."
Marketing manager Cindy Lin, 23, adds: "I am all for improving the standard of Chinese pop. However, the industry may end up being saturated with too many Taiwanese artists sporting Korean styles."

Three Class 7 kids booked for sodomising classmate
A class 7 student in Haryana has alleged that three of his classmates had been sodomising him for the past one-and-a-half years.
Three Class 7 students of a private school in Haryana's Rohtak town were booked Tuesday for allegedly sodomising their classmate, police said.
The victim told his parents that the accused had been sodomising him for nearly one-and-a-half years.
The school director and principal could not be contacted despite repeated attempts for their version.
Parents of the victim and their supporters blocked Jind Road for nearly one hour after school authorities refused to entertain their complaint.
The victim's parents complained to police after senior officers reached the spot to get the road blockade removed.
"We have registered a case under section 377 (unnatural offence) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code and law related to protection of children's rights against three boys on the complaint of the victim's mother," Ved Singh Nain, spokesman of Rohtak police, said.
The parents of the victim alleged that they had come to the school to inform the principal about the incident but she did not listen to them properly.
"Since we are paying hefty fees to the school for better education, safety and security of our wards, it is the duty of school management to keep a close tab on every child studying in the school. But the school staff and the principal have entirely failed in this case," said one of the victim's parents.

Besides healing animals, players can also feed animals and do fun activities such as mounting an elephant. The savanna and the surrounding villages can be accessed using vehicles such as a Jeep, air boats, and even helicopters.
The ten animals are beautifully animated and are also highly customizable. Players get to fully control and run an African wildlife camp that must provide the best care for animals out of all the wildlife camps in Africa.
Character Customization (4 out of 5)
In this game, all players start by creating a customizable character, which will serve as the player's avatar. After creating an avatar, players have the choice of going through a very detailed tutorial that will leave players equipped with the knowledge to be highl
y successful at this game.
Players are able to explore the vast environment, use 120 different items of clothing, accessories and hairstyles on their character, teach animals via 12 training methods, and complete the endless supply of various missions and tasks.
Sounds and Graphics (4 out of 5)
Most players love this game due to its direct involvement with animals and its outstanding graphics and sounds. All the animals and the surrounding environment are drawn with great detail, and you can tell an abundance of effort was put in to ensure that the graphics are perfect and clean, without a flaw to be seen.
The sounds are almost exact replicas of the sounds you would normally hear in a savanna. The ruffling of trees, the calls of African animals, all sounds will make a player feel like they are actually in an African wildlife camp.
Hints and Tips
The Wildlife Camp PC game is a little confusing at first, but it gets easier to understand if once you gain more experience. Although this game is more for the casual, animal-loving player, there are some tips and hints that should be taken to heart in order to greatly enhance gameplay.
#1 Tutorial – A Helpful Tool
No matter how much you know about animals, you will likely find the Wildlife Camp PC game confusing if you decide to ski
p the tutorial the first time you play. When you create your character, you will likely have no idea where to go or what to do. Players will probably be clueless when it comes to feeding animals and healing animals, both actions completely necessary to be successful.
If you've played this game before, you likely won't have any trouble playing without going through the long tutorial. Yet for new players, the tutorial is an absolute must.
#2 Visit Surrounding Areas
To 'win' this game while having the best experience possible, players should explore every area this game has to offer. There are many surrounding areas and savannas that can be accessed using vehicles, air boats, and helicopters.
By exploring beyond your wildlife camp, the player will find more opportunities to take care of and heal African animals. You will find more accessories that can be purchased and you will also have more tasks and quests that must be completed.
#3 Collect Various Accessories
To make gameplay more fun, players can make an effort to collect the 120+ accessories available for both avatars and animals. Clothing, boots, pants, and hairstyles can be used to customize your avatar to make it look like you or someone totally different. There are even hairstyles that you can use on all ten species of animals to make them look cuter or cooler.
By customizing all your animals, you will be able to distinguish between two animals that happen to be of the same species. No more confusion!

Lauren Richardson will go to any lengths to get a good story, even if it means traveling halfway around the world. This summer, the aspiring journalist joined 10 other Berry communication students and three faculty members in Vienna, Austria, for a four-week course in international multimedia reporting.
While fellow students reported on topics ranging from opera to coffee houses to street art in their exploration of Austrian culture, Richardson decided to get the scoop on how Viking football is played on that side of the pond. Her subjects were the Vienna Vikings, a professional team playing American-style tackle football in Europe.
"It was really neat to get to know the coaches and players on a personal level and to be able to see the contrast of football in their culture versus ours," she explained.
To learn more about the Vienna Vikings and other subjects explored by the students, check out the The Spaces of Vienna online magazine.
More than 130 Berry students took their education "on the road" this summer through various study-abroad programs. Destinations ranged from the waters off Honduras to Iceland to Costa Rica, touching five continents in all.

President Barack Obama may not have directly threatened to cut aid to Egypt on Thursday, but he made clear that the status quo is no longer acceptable. "While we want to sustain our relationship with Egypt, our traditional cooperation cannot continue as usual when civilians are being killed in the streets and rights are being rolled back," he said following days of violent clashes.
President Obama condemns violence in Egypt but doesn't halt U.S. aid to the country. NBC News' Steve Handelsman reports.
But what has that "traditional cooperation" been?
Although some U.S. foreign aid has been sent to Egypt since 1946, the current dimensions of the U.S. relationship with Egypt were set by the 1979 peace treaty between Egypt and Israel, which President Jimmy Carter helped negotiate. As Obama and other presidents have said, the continuation of the Egypt-Israel peace accord is an anchor of stability in that volatile region.
Another dimension of the U.S.-Egypt relationship is geopolitical and based on access to the Suez Canal. The Egyptian government allows the U.S. Navy to use the canal on an expedited basis. According to the Congressional Research Service, this access allows the Navy to "deploy carrier groups swiftly to the Persian Gulf region. Without passage through the Canal, the Navy would have to deploy ships around the Cape of Good Hope — adding significant time to deployment from Norfolk, Va., to the Persian Gulf or Indian Ocean."
Of course, oil tankers also transit the Suez Canal. In 2012, more than 3,600 tankers passed through the waterway. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, last year nearly 3 million barrels per day of total oil transported in both directions. "This is the highest amount ever shipped through the Suez Canal and made up about 7 percent of total seaborne-traded oil," the EIA said.
Oil shipments also rely on the 200-mile Sumed pipeline, which runs across Egypt, connecting the Gulf of Suez to the Mediterranean Sea. Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and other Persian Gulf oil producers move more than three-quarters of their oil exports to Europe by way of the Sumed pipeline.
U.S.-Egyptian military cooperation isn't limited to Navy access to the Suez. Egypt expert Jason Brownlee at the University of Texas noted last month after President Mohammed Morsi was toppled that "unlike the American public, the Egyptian military knows that the U.S. gets far more out of the relationship than it puts in: over-flight rights, prepositioning at Cairo West Air Base, intelligence on al Qaida."
As of last December there were about 300 U.S. military personnel stationed in Egypt.

Supporters of deposed Egyptian President Mohamed Mursi shout slogans during a march to show solidarity with his supporters in Sanaa, Egypt, August 15, 2013.
Then there is the U.S. money that goes to Egypt. Between 1948 and 2011, the United States provided Egypt with a total of $71.6 billion in aid. Egypt is the fifth-biggest recipient of U.S. foreign aid, after Israel, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq.
For the fiscal year that begins Oct. 1, Obama has requested $1.55 billion in aid to Egypt, $1.3 billion in military aid and $250 million in economic aid.
The military aid takes two forms: Foreign Military Financing (FMF) and International Military Education and Training (IMET).
In FY2011, Egypt received almost a quarter of all U.S. FMF funds. The FMF money is used by the Cairo government to buy weapons, aircraft, and other military hardware from U.S. companies. The money can also be used for modernizing already purchased equipment and to pay for maintenance.
According to the CRS, "U.S.-Egyptian coproduction of the M1A1 Abrams Battle tank, which began in 1988, is one of the cornerstones of U.S. military assistance to Egypt. Egypt plans to acquire a total of 1,200 tanks. Under the terms of the program, a percentage of the tank's components are manufactured in Egypt at a facility on the outskirts of Cairo and the remaining parts are produced in the United States and then shipped to Egypt for final assembly." General Dynamics is the prime contractor for the tank program.
Lockheed Martin is also a major player in U.S.-Egypt military relations. According to CRS, in 2010 Lockheed Martin and Egypt reached an agreement for the purchase of 20 F-16s, worth an estimated $2.5 billion.
CRS estimates that U.S. military aid covers as much as 80 percent of the Egyptian Defense Ministry's weapons purchases.
The United States also offers IMET training to Egyptian officers partly to instill professional military values and habits into the Egyptian officer corps and to make U.S.-Egyptian military cooperation work more smoothly.
General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, Egypt's de facto leader and defense minister, graduated from the U.S. Army War College in Pennsylvania. U.S. military schools train between 500 and 1,000 Egyptian officers every year.

Last year, Griffin Plattner's medical school orientation included more than tours of hospital corridors and lecture halls. Plattner, a student at Washington University in St. Louis, visited a former African-American hospital and public housing complex, and other sites in low-income neighborhoods, and listened to lectures about the city's history of racism and segregation.
The university has offered the tour for more than 15 years, and its goal is to help future doctors understand the various circumstances of some of their patients' lives in order to treat them more effectively and with more empathy. When the program began in 1999, it was voluntary, and about 20 students signed up; now all 130 students participate before they even step into a classroom.
"I found it really thought-provoking," Plattner says. "I had never thought about how environmental factors such as the adequacy, timing, and location of public transportation affect people's health."
Will Ross, a kidney specialist and the associate dean for diversity at the university, has run the program since its inception. He says the idea is not for students to see "how specimens are operating" and then return to the sterile environment of the medical school, but to take what they learn about the social determinants of health—a neighborhood's abundance or dearth of green spaces, grocery stores, and bus or subway lines, or an individual's income level and housing situation—and apply it in treatment.
Ross says that when students see these factors at play, they are better equipped to understand why some patients can't easily adhere to a medical plan. "The idea that the patient is non-compliant—that they don't really care about their health—is a mentality that has unfortunately affected too many of us in the medical environment for too long," he says. The reality is that such patients face obstacles that prevent them from following a treatment plan: a lack of insurance to cover visits and medication, a lack of access to a car or public transportation to make their appointments, a lack of nearby stores to buy fresh, healthy food.
"Changing the mindset that it's the individual's fault means that doctors will ask meaningful questions about what's going on in patients' lives," Ross says. "The patient then trusts the doctor more and works with them to follow their treatment." The would-be doctors are also trained to connect patients in need with social services, such as programs that provide prescriptions at minimal cost or give free rides to medical appointments.
The Washington University program is emblematic of a shift in the field of public health over the past two decades, from a focus on how an individual's personal choices affect their well-being to how factors in their environment shape those choices.
Judy Lubin, an adjunct professor in the Department of Sociology and Criminology at Howard University, says that current research shows that over 50 percent of a community's health is determined by social factors. For instance, recent studies stress that one's neighborhood is a strong determinant of well-being. The difference in life expectancy between St. Louis's wealthiest and poorest zip codes is at least 12 years.
Lubin notes that this environment-centered way of thinking has roots in the advent of public health more than a century ago, when officials focused on improving residents' environment through sanitation to stop the spread of communicable diseases. Scholars of color, particularly black scholars, have also long recognized the strong link between environment and health. W.E.B. DuBois, for example, chronicled the social factors that led to the ill health of African Americans in a Philadelphia neighborhood in 1899's The Philadelphia Negro.
Yet for much of the twentieth century, many public health leaders emphasized individual control over well-being. A fixation on diet, exercise, and other life choices made good health the result of virtue and poor health a personal failing. While an individual's choices certainly play a role in their health, Lubin says that understanding patients' social contexts is critical to advancing the medical profession.
Washington University isn't the only sign of such change. Ross says the majority of medical schools are engaged in some form of service learning and community engagement. The University of Texas at Austin, for instance, has a health disparities team that works to identify and reduce health inequity in the city. In 2015, the MCAT began to include questions on how social inequality can affect the health of a patient. Lubin teaches sociology to pre-med students at Howard and prepares them for these questions.
And in New York City, a medical center in Bedford Stuyvesant, a neighborhood with a high rate of premature deaths from illnesses like diabetes and hypertension, started an initiative last year—Prescribe-a-Bike—in which doctors recommend bike rides and give patients a free helmet and 12-month bikeshare membership. As the city's Deputy Health Commissioner Dr. Aletha Maybank told WYNC, "Health alone is not just about the behaviors that people have, but people do things and choose behaviors based on what they have access to in their neighborhoods."
Do initiatives like the ones at Wash U and in Bed Stuy actually change behaviors of doctors and patients long-term? It's hard to say. Prescribe-a-Bike is still gathering data, and Ross says he and his colleagues are conducting research on the orientation program. But there's some evidence to suggest that the shift in zeitgeist is changing how doctors approach patients. Medical school graduation questionnaires, for example, show that an increasing number of future doctors are interested in providing care across cultural barriers and working in disadvantaged areas.
Lubin says she hopes knowledge of health's social determinants spurs doctors to do even more than change their approach to individual patients' treatment. "It's a call to action," she says, "I implore my students, 'When you're a physician in a position of power and privilege, ask yourself how can you change policy to improve the conditions of these communities.'"

South Korea 0, Belgium 1: 2014 FIFA World Cup | Group H Match Recap
Belgium wrapped up the top spot in Group H and a Round of 16 meeting with the US national team after 1-0 win over South Korea despite being cut down to 10 men at the halfway mark Thursday at Arena de São Paulo.
A Jan Vertonghen goal in the 77th minute was the decisive moment for a Red Devils side that rested a handful of starters with a trip to the knockout rounds already sealed after wins in their previous two outings.
The tournament comes to a disappointing end for the Taeguk Warriors, who could have advanced to the knockout stages for the second consecutive tournament with a win and Algeria loss. With their 1-1 draw against Russia, Algeria secured the group's runner-up spot.
Belgium will face the USMNT, who clinched the second spot in Group G following their 1-0 loss to Germany earlier in the day, on July 1 in Salvador.
SHORTHANDED GOAL: Despite playing with 10 men, Belgium continued to push forward and struck when Divock Origi, who scored the winning goal in Belgium's 1-0 win over Russia, sent a blast at South Korea goalkeeper Kim Seung-Gyu, who parried away but right to Vertonghen. The veteran Tottenham defender made no mistake with his effort, burying it past the helpless Kim. And that means...

SITTER MISSED: Belgium had plenty of chances in the first half before being cut down to 10 men. The most glaring miss was a wide-open look by Dries Mertens. The hero from Belgium's 2-1 win over Algeria in their tournament opener with the winning goal in that match, Mertens was squared in front of goal by teammate Kevin Mirallas. But he launched his right-footed shot well into the crowd.

SEEING RED: Belgium midfielder Steven Defour earned his first start in this World Cup and was promptly shown the door right before halftime when he came in studs up on a challenge on Kim Shin-Wook. Not only did that hamstring Belgium for the remainder of the match, but it means he'll be out for their first Round of 16 match.

BELGIUM ROTATE: With a spot in the knockout rounds already secured, Belgium came out with a completely different look from their lineup that beat Russia 1-0 in their last game, resting five starters. With Red Devils defenders Vincent Kompany and Thomas Vermaelen battling slight knocks, manager Marc Wilmots inserted Anthony Vanden Borre in at right back and Vertonghen on the opposite flank. Adnan Januzaj, the 19-year-old Manchester United attacker, and Mertens, who was used in midfield against Russia, started around target forward Mirallas, in his first start of the tournament, up top.
MAN OF THE MATCH: Vertonghen, Belgium. He hit the winner but was also very dangerous on the overlap.

Interview Apparel Myths Continued
In some corporate cultures, how well you dress in an interview tells the interviewer much more about you than you'd think. In some businesses, wearing an executive suit, shined shoes and so forth is viewed as showing respect for the interviewer and the company, whether or not that's what you'll be wearing on the job.
|Page 1 of 1
Last time we talked about the conventional wisdom that you must always wear a high-level executive suit for any job interview. This time, we'll discuss the other Myth that may cause you even more problems.
Myth #2: For any IT job interview, you can wear T-shirts, jeans, or whatever you like.
This one will get you into even more trouble than Myth #1. A few things are more or less universal: be clean and neat, preferably without holes in your clothing. Have your hair washed and combed, clean your fingernails, that sort of thing. Remember, though, there are IT jobs where the required dress is at least shirt and tie for males and dresses or slacks for females. You definitely don't want to show up for one of these interviews in your cut-off shorts and Reeboks.
Again, if you can do a little homework about the company, it will be of tremendous help. For financial and other conservative institutions, it's probably good to wear that suit. In some corporate cultures, how well you dress in an interview tells the interviewer much more about you than you'd think. In some businesses, wearing an executive suit, shined shoes and so forth is viewed as showing respect for the interviewer and the company, whether or not that's what you'll be wearing on the job. Sometimes, many things are implied by your dress. For example, if your shoes are shined, your suit is unwrinkled, and your hair is neat, this can imply that you show attention to detail and are ready for success. Some interviewers even make initial decisions on your education, intelligence, and qualifications simply based on the quality of your interview wear. This is quite a foreign concept for those of us who do not look at things quite that way, but it needs to be understood.
At this point, I should probably point out that forcing your own view on what's appropriate is not necessarily going to win you any points. Sure, you may feel that it's what's on the inside that counts -- your skills, your qualifications, your intelligence -- and not what you wear. Therefore, you may think, you'll wear whatever the heck you feel comfortable in, and if they don't like it, too bad! In my view, this isn't necessarily a bad attitude if you're searching for your dream job and are not willing to settle for anything less. After all, if you want to work for a company who will accept your jeans and t-shirts because it's your skills that are important, then you don't necessarily want to work for a company with a suit-and-tie dress code. Try to remember, however, that your initial interview may be with a Human Resources person or Recruiter of some kind, and NOT with the head of the department where you'll be working. I've found that sometimes it's best to wear a suit for the suits, and jeans for the actual technical people you'll be working with. In other words, put on the right packaging for the appropriate audience.
Given that part of finding your dream job is finding jobs in places where the culture is harmonious to you, you may choose to ONLY apply for jobs where suits are expected, or to NEVER apply for jobs in such environments. I often think of interview (and, once on the job, presentation) attire as more like a costume, and of myself as playing a role. Today, I think, I am playing the role of "Potential Sys Admin for Wall Street Brokerage," or "Sys Admin in Blue T-Shirt," or even "Techie Disguised as Executive to Fool the Interviewers." This lets me think of it more as a disguise to infiltrate where I want to be than of pretending to be something I'm not to suck up to someone. Honestly, it's almost the same thing, but the disguise idea is much more fun.
I recently heard what I thought to be an excellent piece of advice on interview wear. Put simply, "Dress like the department head." In an academic environment, this might be the department Chair, or Dean. In a business environment, this might be the IT manager or, in a smaller company, the Chief Technical Officer. If you can find out how these people dress, wearing similar attire (whether suit or jeans and sweater) can both show respect for their cultural mores of dress and present a positive impression of you fitting in to the environment.
Just remember: as with Perl, "There's more than one way to do it." Part of successful job searching is knowing what you're looking for, and to some extent, knowing what the employer is looking for as well.

"Having Soul named as a winner once again at the Active Lifestyle Vehicle awards is strong evidence that our complete redesign of this iconic vehicle was successful. While dramatically improving the Soul's ride and handling qualities, as well as its interior appointments, it's lost none of its fun, funky and young-at-heart personality," said Michael Sprague, executive vice president, marketing & communications, KMA."From the expansive cargo area to the roof rack mounts that come standard on every trim, the Soul speaks to those who want a vehicle that offers iconic design and all the things that supporta youthful and active lifestyle."

My February Show ..Yay.. it's a wrap!.
I have to admit that I am now addicted to the show ☺
At first I felt so nervous, self concsious and didn't know what to expect... but the other crafters and the handmade show team were very nice. Although I'm the only Asian I felt comfortable being there.
I definitely will apply for the next show on March 20. I remember very clearly what was the first item I sold. It was my giraffe softies/ rattle. The lady and her husband said the giraffe will make his journey all the way to UK! They bought it for a present. Well at least I put my EliT Craft brand on the giraffe with made in Australia written on it ☺.
Actually it turns out that it's my best seller of the day followed by my rosette covered headband (made from fabric scraps), hair clips with little resins appliqué on it, and wrislet keyfob.
We were quite lucky with the weather that day because the night before was rainy and wet. It was a windy day but turned out to be nice and sunny! Even though we were indoors, it seems people are usually lazy to go out when it's rainy right?.
Some of my friends also came to visit ☺ (Thanks a lot to all of you for your coming! Means a lot to me). And a big thank you for my hubby for his help and support ☺
I took some of my stall pictures here.. enjoy
By the way you can have a look our handmade show team here too.
|The person behind EliT Craft, yes it's me :)

My 2011 Resolutions
One of my resolutions this year is to make a bigger effort to promote and run my EliT Craft business. It's hard and expensive (advertising) but that's the only way let people know about me, right?. Looking back at what I did, it now seems hard to believe. I mean I never even thought I would touch a real sewing machine! Now I feel like I can't live without it and could spend a whole day in my sewing room if I could, hehehe...
If you're willing to do something and try your best, anything is possible! A few days ago I listed some EliT Craft items on an online store called "Made It". It's a similar idea to Etsy showcasing all sorts of handmade items for sale. You can have a look at them here if you like.

John J is a Z man today- though for years that wasn't the case – and through a strange twist of fate, John found himself both cursed and enamored by Nissan's legendary sportscar. John currently has a 370Z, but picked it up after getting over a bit of tragedy. The pic above you see is one of the photos of the car in its original form – a far cry from the crimson machine in the driveway today. After getting through his suite of Nissan 370Z Mods, fate stepped in to put the original car he'd dreamed about as a teenager and young adult in his driveway.
(Bruce Willis, Driving a Z31 300ZX 2+2 in the film Blind Date… read more about that here)
"Naturally, when I was growing up, the Z was one of my favorite cars. A cross between a muscle car and a roadster. I fell in love with the Z31 300ZX and the pointy nose driven by Bruce Willis (this is a reference to the film BLIND DATE). For many reasons, I never purchased a Z in my youth. Money, priorities, responsibilities or whatever it may be… I never even had the opportunity to ride in a Z!"
That changed one night in 1997, at what was supposed to be the culmination of an awesome night out with friends, John got his first chance to ride in a Z in the back of his dearest friend's boyfriend's Z32 300ZX 2+2.
Buckle up, it's storytime, but stay with us here and you'll see how this all comes full circle.
"At 3:30 a.m. on August 7, 1997, that long awaited opportunity turned into the beginning of the worst day of my life…"
The Z became a curse in an instant when the car they were riding in side swiped a semi tanker, carrying a fuel even more dangerous than gasoline, Aviation fuel. With the 300ZX travelling at one hundred twenty miles an hour as it struck the fuel tanker, the impact was horrific, hurling the car some 800 feet down the road, pinballing off of the guardrails along the way. Even the best engineered vehicles aren't designed for crashes at that speed – and car versus semi crashes never end well.
John's close friend Jenny, sitting in the front passenger seat was ejected from the car, killing her instantly. The driver was injured badly, but survived the disaster. John and another friend who had also been stuffed into the back seat were very lucky, as John and the other rear passenger climbed out of the ruined hulk with hardly a scratch… but the damage was done. His close friend Jenny was gone at the age of 22, and what was once John's dream car had now become a continuous reminder of that awful event.
"I barely had a scratch externally… but for years after, I never looked at another Z. I had no interest whatsoever for obvious reasons that were associated with PTSD from the accident." Seeing a Z was a trigger that brought back the terrible feeling of 'survivor's guilt'- something all too common among those who endure tragedies of this caliber- questioning your decisions wishing you had made one of a thousand decisions differently that night, and begging to change places with someone you loved, whose life was cut way too short.
John spent almost 20 years distancing himself from Nissan's iconic sports coupe, but a simple trip carshopping for his next daily changed that.
"I didn't look at another Z, not until March of 2016, when my search to lease a new Nissan Murano SUV with my girlfriend and life partner Sandy brought us to the local Nissan dealer. So we are walking through the lot, talking with our salesperson about trying to get the best lease possible for the next utilitarian vehicle I will be driving, and walking towards the entrance to their dealership when Sandy pointed at these two cars sitting in front of the doors.
Naturally, like any dealership, they had their best on display -a couple of 370Z's were front and center. Sandy was the first to look closer and asked me to take a look at the car (noticing the affordability in comparison to leasing a Morano). So I casually glanced at the Z at first, and then I couldn't help staring at the car. Since that night in 1997 I have always lived my life for two people, Jenny and I. When presented with a decision that puts him out of his comfort zone, whether it is jumping off of a 30 foot high cliff in Jamaica or buying a defining car in his life John has always asked himself "what would Jenny do?".
Then it hit me. I thought to myself, I am 46, kids out of the house, I have been thinking about getting something for me, I have a wonderful girlfriend that supports me, and Jenny's memory will be a part of this car and a part of my continuing recovery.

So, rather than the Murano, we purchased the 370Z and started our mod journey to create a car that came from my heart, and bonds me with her. The 370Z's name is Jenny for that reason." So out of that tragedy, John and Sandy found a way to heal, and like any good Z car, gave the car its own bit of soul – the car itself a way to memorialize a friend gone too soon. It's not at all uncommon amongst gearheads like John, we tend to find ways to rebuild our broken hearts by turning wrenches – go to any busy car show, you're sure to find a vehicle built in the memory of another, a way to remember those who have left our lives too soon, so our hearts never forget.

Long after John and Sandy first started their journey with Jenny, their Fairlady 370Z, a spark of inspiration nudged him to pick up a second Z… We'll get into that other "new" car in a moment, but let's talk about what's been done to Jenny, this incredible Satin Red 370Z first.
As so many of us do, John started with audio -the first mod to the 2016 Nissan 370Z was upgrading the radio and audio system – and right after those, first performance parts on the list was the 370Z intake and 370Z exhaust.
After doing extensive research online, on the forums, and in the local Z/G clubs to pick other enthusiasts' brains about what the best option was, John opted to go with a STILLEN Gen 3 Intake for 370Z, matched with a STILLEN Cat-Back 370Z Exhaust for maximum effect.
The Stillen Gen 3 intakes feed into a Custom ported upper plenum
"The Stillen Gen 3 intakes are the best in breed and every other intake is referenced to it. It opens up throttle response and lets the engine breathe. The Stillen cat back exhaust isn't the loudest and as a daily driver I appreciate that. I don't hear exhaust drone when cruising while hearing the car roar when accelerating. Combined, my bolt on NA 370Z tuned at 330+ RWHP (with a large chunk courtesy of STILLEN). Given their relationship with Nissan, STILLEN are who I trusted to provide the most power from my VQ37, and they came through."
It's no surprise the Gen III intakes are still considered one of the best possible options for naturally aspirated VQ37HR and VQ35HR engined cars – after all, we did go through fifty six – yes, 56, different prototypes before we worked out the design you've come to know and love that delivers the best gains available. Paired with a custom ported Upper Intake Plenum, throttle response is quite sharp.
Stillen Cat Back Exhaust / Kinetix HFCs Give the 370Z An Aggressive Roar
As far as the exhaling side of the VQ37HR's breathing was concerned, John opted to enhance flow with the STILLEN Cat-Back Exhaust for Nissan 370Z. The oversized polished tips look great whether ensconced in the factory rear bumper, NISMO or any other option. Offering power, style and sound, the STILLEN Cat-Back is truly the complete package, offering a low-drone way to get a richer, more satisfying exhaust note out of the 370Z – you can still have a conversation with your date, codriver, business partner, dog, or whoever you talk to most often in your Z.
The etched STILLEN logo on each tip gives the system a custom-tailored touch as well. After the performance modifications, next was the exterior – a new bumper, side skirt diffusers, a spoiler and a color change courtesy a custom wrap transformed John's 370Z from 'little black dress' to 'Jessica Rabbit' aesthetic virtually overnight.
Rounding out the visual modifications is a Stillen rear wing, custom-wrapped in Carbon Fiber look vinyl, adding a nice bit of detail against the intense satin red.
Lowered on Tein S-Tech Springs, the stock wheels have been swapped out for a set of Rohana RFX5 19×9.5 / 19×11 with a set of Hotchkis Sway Bars keeping the suspension compliant. Then to ensure the power is getting to both rear wheels, a 3.7 ratio viscous limited slip rear differential was fitted as well.

Rohanan RFX5 19×9.5 / 19×11 on Hankook Ventus V12 Evo2 Tires / Tein S-Tech Springs / Hotchkis Sway Bars / 3.7 VLSD
"With the continuous love and support of my amazingly supportive girlfriend Sandy, we have started this journey with Jenny. I've been given an opportunity to work through another hurdle in overcoming the events of that fateful night and embracing the anxiety of seeing a Z32 as an important step in the healing process… as a result I have fallen back in love with the Z."

-Rohana RFX5 wheels 19X9.5/11 with Hankook tires

-Carbon Signal V1 fenders
-Aeroflow Dynamics side splitter

-34 row oil cooler (Florida life)
-STILLEN Supercharger (once car is paid off)
-Level 10 built 7AT transmission
-Quaife Rear Differential & Upgraded Housing
As fate would have it, right after Sandy and John had started talking about what their next car purchase would be. They were considering the 'second car's intended use – they agreed on the idea of a convertible garage queen to drive on the weekends… and then about a month ago, a neighbor two doors down pulled a gorgeous pearl white '90 Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo [Z32 TT] out of the garage.
"Naturally, I had to talk to him (though we'd only talked twice in the 5 years we'd been neighbors) about the car… and where it came from."
"I tracked down my neighbor and got the story on the Z: It was his wife's father's and had been given to (my neighbors) as a wedding present. To my disappointment, he said someone had come and put down a deposit already, but did mention whoever it was had not picked it up yet – or paid in full." With the neighbors new car occupying the Z's former spot in the garage, the immaculate Z32 300ZX Twin Turbo now sat in the sun, waiting for its new owner to fetch it. Surely, someone who left a deposit will be back to get the car, right? Well.. maybe not.
A few weeks go by, during which time John and Sandy rented a Mustang convertible – and ended up not liking the convertible experience in a Mustang. This got them talking again about that 'second car', and what they didn't like about a convertible… so a full convertible was out, but both of them agreed they loved T-Tops. So their plan for 'a convertible' had changed to 'a car with T-Tops'. It should go without saying, but while Targa roofs have stuck around, the list of "Cars that Came with T-Tops" hasn't had any new additions in a while.
'Hmm… what car has T-Tops…', they mused… and like a flash of lightning it the idea struck. The Z car sitting two doors down has T-Tops, and it's no longer in a garage and exposed to the sun!
John went to see his neighbor the next day – weeks had passed and the car was still here, so he asked his neighbor what the deal was with the Z's buyer. John's neighbor said still the guy hadn't come to get it and hadn't heard from him in a while. So, John told him he would be more than happy to take her (the 300ZX) off of his hands right now, if he was good with it. While money talks, for some people, it's also about who the car is going to. John's neighbor accepted, saying, "Absolutely! I know you're going to take care of her (the 300ZX), which will make my wife's father very happy that the Z he loved went to a good home!"
"Naturally, I had to name her (the 300ZX) after the woman that has been there by my side and supported me through this journey. I call her mZSandy.
This '90 Z32 Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo is clearly not stock – while that's not our aero kit (our guess is WingsWest), the STILLEN badging in various places on the car and level of modification suggest there may be a few goodies of ours – either produced by or sourced by us – hidden in there. The modifications are tasteful while also offering a snapshot of 90's tuning trends. John's as in the dark as we are, and the car is currently being gone over at a Z specialist to work out what's been done and what, if anything, it needs.
A front strut tower brace firms up the chassis of this T-Top equipped Z32, and as was the trend, there's an abundance of red details like the wire looms and radiator supports.
Out back, the polished mufflers of a STILLEN Exhaust for 1990-96 Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo gives the car a more authoritative growl, sharper response and more power on tap when the twin turbos hit boost.
While the plan for now is to work out what's on the car, John's planning a STILLEN Crankshaft Pulley for 300ZX in the future. Once the check-up is complete, this beauty should be a real joy to log miles on this summer.
A big thank you to John for sharing his story & photos with us and for making us a part of his build.
Thanks for joining us, and we hope you enjoyed the photos.
