Cinnamon Roll Sketch
I decided to do a quick sketch today in adobe ideas! I really love cinnamon rolls and I thought it would be cute to create a little "valentine cinnamon roll". It is a little hard to see but I drew a little bit of icing on the top and gave her a cute heart "cookie" that she is holding. (close up below) What do you think?

Metro Networks, Inc.
(Washington, DC) -- Officials say the recall of millions of pounds of beef products processed by California-based Rancho Feeding Corporation includes one of the popular "Hot Pockets" heat-and-serve sandwiches. The Hot Pockets Philly Steak and Cheese sandwiches are distributed to some Fred Meyer and QFC stores in Oregon and Washington and are included in the recall of about eight-point-seven-million pounds of Rancho Feeding meat products. The USDA issued the recall on February 8th, saying the meat was processed from "diseased and unsound" animals and was unfit for human consumption. Other products from the company were distributed to meat markets and smaller stores in Oregon and Washington.

'Alarm' is one of the most interesting debuts that I've listened to, let's say the last months. 'Deaf Radio' are not trying to impress, they are not pretending to be anything that they are not, they are what they are, they do what they do and they do it well.
They are not afraid to emphasize on their musical influences because they seem to have assimilated and mastered them and they are comfortable with that.
They are not afraid to emphasize on their musical influences because they seem to have assimilated and mastered them and they are comfortable with that.
For starts, in every each one of their compositions the vocals play the role of the "extra instrument", varying from low and melodic, to a more energetic, 'british'-style or even post-punk style. The guitars are continuously flirting with grungy tones and riffs while the bass and drums are preferring a more post-punk approach in many cases.
The quality of the compositions is a definite witness that the band has worked a lot to reach this result and they didn't rush to release this album before it was 100% ready to be released, from every aspect.
For those who love to put 'labels' in every album they get in their hands, I would say that Deaf Radio's style in this album qualifies as 'heavy rock', with many post-punk influences with a definitely guitaristic approach.
This album is a 'must listen' for everyone that enjoys heavy rock, grunge, post-punk and generally for everyone that enjoys good music, because it is likely that he will find something interesting among the 9 tracks of this album. ;-)

Ibrahim Al-Sarraj,the director of Iraqi journalists rights defense association, demanded that the Iraqi branch of UNISCO office should be transferred from Amman to Baghdad. Ibrahim Al-Sarraj the director of Iraqi journalists rights defense association demanded the Iraqi ministry of foreign affairs and the concerned parties and the international organizations with the need to speed up the process of making the suitable legal measures to transfer the Iraqi branch of the UNISCO office from Amman the capital of Jordan to Baghdad since the mentioned office is not dealing with the relevant cases such as freedom of press and education and other files which the organization is specialized with. Al-Sarraj also confirmed the fact that the Iraqi office is actually in the capital of Jordan is a deliberate neglect by the organization and shows how unserious it is at working with the official parties. Most of the employees in Amman are from foreign and english nationalities and don't actually care about the circumstances in Iraq specially the file of violations against journalists in Iraq. Al-Sarraj confirmed that there are 90 employees working in the mentioned office and gaining more that 3 million dollars a month. They didn't contribute in offering any support for Iraq in the fields which The UNISCO is specialized with despite the facilities provided by the Iraqi government. It is worth mentioning that the financial and administrative manager in The UNISCO office in Iraq which is originally from Tunisia with french nationality did not visit Iraq at all although she's been manager of finance for more than five years and she has a financial and administrative staff from other nationalities which also never visited Iraq. Ibrahim Al-Sarraj also confirmed the Iraqi journalists rights defense association within a week will establish a campaign to collect signatures in all provinces of Iraq to demand the transfer of the Iraqi branch of UNISCO office from Amman to Baghdad.

Mining stocks are outpacing oil-related peers in a "reflation rally" sparked by U.S. President Donald Trump's election and the outperformance will last for at least another year if history is a guide.
Investors have flocked to sectors closely geared to the global economic cycle and the shift gained momentum in November after Trump's victory inspired expectations for boosts to manufacturing, infrastructure spending, and global growth.

Multi-Activity Events
Multi-Activity Events are one of our most popular forms of outdoor entertainment. Sporting Scotland outfits and operates Multi-Activity Days at our own and other equally scenic venues throughout the country. Sporting Scotland will organise all your transport and accommodation.
Teams rotate through a selection of activities such as 4 x 4 and argo driving, clay and target shooting and archery. The events can be run competitively as team challenges or purely for enjoyment and hospitality.
Depending on group size each activity takes up to an hour. Multi-Activity Events held at Sporting Scotland's two spectacular sites have weather shelters for each activity and facilities for refreshments. The bases are positioned within 5- 20 minutes of some of Scotland's most famous malt whisky distilleries, so tours and whisky tasting can be organised to compliment an event.
River Multi-Activity Days
River Multi-Activity Days are much in demand during the summer; often canoeing on the River Spey or River Findhorn and canyoning are combined for competitive Team Challenge Events. Canoeing on the River Spey is also a enjoyable choice for a Hospitality Event and can be combined with a visit to one of the distilleries closeby.
Highland Games Event
The Highland Games Event is often selected by our international clients, as an introduction to a traditional, Scottish sporting event. The activities are demonstrated by highland games athletes, who then instruct in disciplines including caber tossing, weight for distance, hammer throw, tug of war, throwing the "Haggis" and barrel rolling races.

Baby Led Weaning was a concept started in the 1980's which involved a significant change in the way we introduce babies to solids. Traditionally babies started solids from as early as 4 months old and began with very smooth pureed versions of any food.
Baby Led Weaning takes a different approach – allowing baby to self feed with solid foods straight away. According to the philosophy this approach has a range of benefits over starting your baby on pureed foods.
There is some controversy surrounding the approach, some say it increases the potential for choking and that babies don't get enough nutrition but there are also many potential benefits of introducing solids this way.
The Benefits:
Because babies skip the pureed food stage they explore the real tastes and textures of foods sooner. They also learn to suck and chew food. This gives them a more real food experience earlier potentially making them less picky eaters later on.
Instead of having well meaning parents over feeding them spoonful after spoonful, self feeding babies learn to stop eating according to their fullness. This establishes normal, healthy eating habits early.
Another benefit of Baby Led Weaning is that baby can eat pretty much the same as the rest of the family, reducing the need to prepare special food for baby.
The down side:
Choking: It can be scary watching your baby gag and splutter when they start solid foods. Gagging is a normal reflex and will occur as baby learns to manage chunks of food. When introducing solid foods start with softer foods, such as cooked veges, avocado, etc. Introduce different textures and firmer foods slowly as confidence increases. Always supervise babies when they are eating and keep a close eye for choking. The general rule is that choking is silent while gagging makes a noise.
Mess: There is always going to be a level of messiness when baby starts solids. Unlike spoon feeding from a bowl where you have some control, when baby is allowed to feed themselves it means a large amount of it ends up in places other than babies mouth including the floor, their hair, your hair, their ears, shoes and pretty much anywhere else within a 3 metre radius. (I recommend a dog- they do a great job of cleaning up the scraps leaving you only to sanitize the area after them!)
How much are they actually eating? When Baby is self feeding it can be hard to tell how much has actually been eaten. (As mentioned above a lot ends up in places other than their mouth). It is recommended to supplement their diet by spoon feeding some food and continuing milk feeds – as much as baby will take.
For more tips and guidance on Baby Led Weaning you can get the book Baby Led Weaning (aff link) written by the originators of the of the philosophy Gill Rapley and Tracey Murkett

I will be the first to admit, that for Halloween, I do get a little carried away with the costumes, and the decorating…but I do it all for the kids…right? Anyways, a few years ago I bought a few boxes of Halloween on Craigslist, and since then we have put up a display on our front lawn. We have a grave yard, skeletons hanging from the trees, rats and pumpkins all over, (just wait until we get the fog machine going!) and my favourite, the giant spider web.
Here is how we put it together…
First, we have to pick a good spot. We have tried a few different places, but this year we are going to put it close to the house.
You need string, scissors, tent pegs and a hammer…
Start by stringing the supports, I just made a loop at the ends and hooked them around a branch or twig. I hammered the other end into the ground using one of the tent pegs.
To make the rest of the structure of the web, attach two more support webs, so that the frame of the web is secure. I tied a few knots in the middle to hold everything in place.
Then start weaving the web, start from the outside , and weave the string in a circle working your way towards the middle. I tied a couple knots as the sting passed by each support.
Once you have gone all the way around the outside, move in and keep going around. The trick is to leave yourself enough string to get to the center.
And repeat going around in circles, tying knots until you get into the middle. I had to loosen a few knows and slide the string in a bit to reach the center.
All it needs now is a nice big spider! I decided to attach the spider to the house this year, just because it shows a lot more from the street.
Here is our finished grave yard…you can see the web in the background. I will post some more photos of our decorations later…happy thanksgiving to everyone in Canada!

Sports are activities that involve physical exertion and movement, typically where two different teams compete against one another for the win. There are a variety of sports all around the world, some major sports are soccer, basketball, baseball, and football. "Minor" sports would be some small sports that aren't known as worldwide as the major sports and activities that a group of people made up for entertainment. I love sports because they are entertaining, energizing, and brings out my competitive spirit that gets me going! Sports have a positive side in which the heart's strength increases, physical strength (such as arms, chest, legs, and back) increases, and health levels decrease (meaning risk of obesity or other bodily diseases caused by types of food and fat). Sports also have a downside, such as receiving injures (both fatal and not fatal).
Sports have an amazing effect on the body. Soccer for example, spurs on the eye and foot coordination skills, speed and strength. This not only benefits health, but also benefits our real-life skills. Our strength would provide us a larger capacity of breath, helping us on our runs anywhere, maybe even special conditions like asthma, clogged nasal passage, sinus, and other breathing conditions. Some mental benefits are self-confidence and stress relief. Some people with amnesia would benefit from this effect, having the ability to sleep better than the last time he or she slept. Physical benefits also include an improved posture (meaning seated and standing position) which helps out on blood circulation throughout the body and thought processing. "I think being a part of some kind of team or organization gives kids the opportunity to have moderate to vigorous activity consistently," said Keith M. Drake, an author of the study and a postdoctoral research fellow at the Hood Center for Children and Families at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth. "I think a lot of time physical education requirements are not that strict. Kids are not in P.E. that often, and when they are, the physical activity is not that strenuous (HT Health)." The past years obesity rates among grammar school students and teens have increased by over seventeen percent! Increasing efforts in sports helped decrease these percentages for about three percent… which is a lot considering the whole population of the United States of America.
Sports, on the other hand, have a very detrimental effect as well. Many players have broken their bones, were paralyzed, and even had fatal injuries in which some even died on the spot. In a soccer game, two soccer players tried to intercept a ball. As the ball slipped out of both of their grasps, they realized in a second where they were traveling, to whom, and at what speed. They collided head on and so hard that it even caused a shudder among the whole stadium. It was silent, and eventually screams of horror came as the two players that collided were, clearly, dead. This was an instant death and as many parents hear this their will to keep their child play sports fade. So, obviously, the glamorous benefits that awaited many people left just like that. This can be one of the mysterious reasons why child and teen obesity rates have drastically increased. Basketball, for example, is a sport that consists of using your hands to dribble and shoot in into a hoop to earn a point. The points you earn depend upon the position you shoot from. But, many skilled players learned this term of "breaking ankles". This is a widely used term that entertains and woos the audience by a show of an impossibly swift moves that sweeps a defender off their feet. But, though this may be entertaining and fun, this skill actually broke some people's ankles. The science behind this would normally be starting as a sprain, but this happens because the limit your foot can bend was forcefully pushed so quickly that the bond that connects the hold between the ankle and the calf breaks. Some players had their kneecaps fly from their place and others much worse. Sports can seem so nice at times, but also, very, very deadly.

Case against Dalit leader should not disturb peace"
The Madras High Court Bench here on Wednesday asked Additional Advocate General (AAG) K. Chellapandian to come out with a solution, in consultation with the Ramanathapuram Collector and the Superintendent of Police, to curb flaring up of emotions pursuant to registration of a criminal case against a Dalit leader on charges of promoting enmity between two caste groups.
Dealing with a writ petition filed by P. Chandra Bose, general secretary of Thyagi Immanuel Peravai, to quash the First Information Report, Mr. Justice V. Ramasubramanian said that his endeavour was to ensure that the registration of the case following a public meeting at Paramakudi on November 5 should not snowball into a controversy and disturb tranquillity across the State.
The public meeting was organised to condemn the police firing, which led to the death of six Dalits at Paramakudi on September 11.
Stating that courts have to deal such issues with caution, the Judge said: "My only concern is where to put an end to this. Nowadays, courts have a greater responsibility. If it had been any other writ petition, I would have thrown it out. But this case is different."
Earlier, the AAG contended that the speech given by the petitioner in the public meeting squarely attracted Section 153A (promoting enmity between different groups on ground of religion, race and so on and doing acts prejudicial to maintenance of harmony) of the Indian Penal Code. However, petitioner's counsel P. Rathinam said that the speech was nothing but the cry of the hapless Dalits.
When counsel referred to historic incidents related to atrocities committed against Dalits, the judge intervened and said that Mahatma Gandhi had the ability to bring about peace even in the worst of communal disturbances. "Unfortunately, we do not have someone like him. Today, nobody wants to be a Mahatma Gandhi as they do not want to be shot dead."
He recalled that Mahatma Gandhi had written to his friend on January 25, 1948, just five days before his assassination, stating he would prefer to die chanting the name of Lord Ram if he happened to be shot dead in an attempt to bring about communal harmony. "It is amazing that he died in the same manner within five days of writing that letter," Mr. Justice Ramasubramanian said.

Designs for buildings to be constructed or pending construction that have been recently presented indicate ongoing plans for structures that will be hazardous to migratory birds in Omaha and Lincoln, Nebraska.
This is a gallery of the buildings. The renderings readily convey the hazards which commonly cause bird strikes, which in most cases result in the death of the bird!
This building is for the offices of the DLR Architectural firm. The local press publishing an article proclaiming it would be a "green structure" based on the LEED criteria, which, however, does not consider "bird-safe" features. There was no reply received when an inquiry was sent to the company, asking about how the structure would be bird safe.
Perhaps, they are boast about attaining one supposed goal, while ignoring how their place will probably lead to bird deaths.
There is the acclaimed proverb: "Ignorance is bliss," and perhaps this would apply in this instance, and others as presented here.
Notice the extensive use of glass on the north facade, in association with the prominent landscaping.
An unidentifiable carcass of a bird was noted in latter October at the adjacent building, so it is obvious that bird-strikes occur in this vicinity.
In Lincoln, there is a corporate structure also touted for being green, according to press in the local newspaper. Once again, this supposed accolade does not include making the place safe for migratory birds.
This rendering shows the typical, modern and deadly combination of glass and landscaping.
Another new structure is to be built at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. It is an eye institute for people. Once again, note how the design architects do not have any eye for designing a building which will not be a hazard for birds.
This is another rendering that indicates how architects design buildings without any regard for the environment, except that it meets the "holy-grail" of the LEED criteria, which is a biased perspective on what is truly green.
Their ignorance is a sad statement about their efforts for green design, and the buildings they get built are nothing but hazards for birds!
The University of Nebraska-Lincoln continues to erect buildings with readily apparent hazards to birds. The campus of this university is readily known as a deadly place with hundreds of known bird strikes. Campus officials know about the casualties, but their response is nothing short of tepid.
These pictures show what will get placed on the pending "Innovation Campus" on the north end of the current campus, at the former fairgrounds.
There is no innovation apparent in these building designs! More birds will be casualties at the glass structures to be erected. The project manager for this development is the same as for Aksarben Village, where the new buildings were projected as being deleterious for birds, which has been confirmed this autumn.
The newest addition to the "wall of structures" along the riverfront and just to the west at Omaha is a second condominium that will be perched adjacent to the channel of the Missouri River. Another Riverfront Condominium is being built, with the groundbreaking on October 30, 2009.
There is the usual combination of glass, landscaping and location which will be hazardous for birds. The Missouri River is a major corridor for migratory birds, though this fact is basically unknown or ignored by building designers that continue to get buildings with hazards built.
Officials are estatic about the new building, as their are ignorant of how the new buildings continue to impact avifauna.
The mayor of Omaha, Jim Suttle, upon the ground-breaking for the Riverfront condos, proclaimed his "glee" to have another big tower be built and more cranes obvious on the skyline. His comments also stated how there should be more building construction, including how he would like to see the Wallstreet Tower building built in downtown.
The latter building, based on obvious features shown in architectural renderings, will be the Wallstreet Tower of glass. Based on its location just south of the "history park" created by the First National Bank, there will be a multitude of bird strikes since the 33 story building will have an entirely glass exterior.
It is readily obvious that architects are wrapped up in a short-sighted view without any regard to how their "monstrosities" are killing birds!

Kayakers' Guide to Central Ohio Rivers
Float, paddle, fish and enjoy the newly popular waterways.
Rivers were the original trails for the earliest Ohioans, but they later suffered decades of neglect and disuse. Now, after the removal of dangerous low-head dams and the addition of access points for kayaks and canoes, Central Ohioans are showing renewed interest in local waterways. Whether you prefer a peaceful float or a more rigorous river run, here are some of the best paddling spots in the area.
Natural River Paddle: Big Darby Creek from Alkire Road to Darbydale
Protected land borders both sides of Big Darby Creek between the boat launch at Alkire Road and the Osprey Lake area in Darbydale. This sheltered stretch allows for close encounters with wildlife, including beavers, birds and deer. You don't need your own boat for this trip; Trapper John's Canoe Livery in Darbydale features this section of river among its rental trip options.
Urban Wildlife Float: Scioto River through Dublin
First-timers on this stretch of river frequently express surprise that a float through one of Central Ohio's most groomed suburbs can feel so wild. While the Bridge Street District has encroached a bit, the run from Amberleigh Community Park (where the city has provided a slide and stairs to help boaters navigate a steep bank) to Dublin Springs Park is a remarkably quiet wildlife corridor frequented by bald eagles, cormorants and wood ducks.
Birding Paddle: Hoover Reservoir
The waters, wetlands and woodlands at Hoover rank among the top birding properties around, especially for waterfowl during migrations and for shorebirds in the fall, when low water levels create mudflats at the upper reaches of the reservoir. The 10-horsepower limit on motors is a gift to hand-powered boaters who dodge ski boats and joy riders on other Central Ohio reservoirs.
Paddle-Pedal: Olentangy River from Broad Meadows Boulevard to Northmoor Park
"Let's go boating," you say. "I want to take a bike ride," your friend counters. Avoid a standoff and do both. Olentangy Paddle offers a float-and-ride through north Columbus, providing boats, bikes and hauling for a fee. Ignore the buzz of traffic from state Route 315 and enjoy chasing kingfishers down the Olentangy, splashing through riffles just challenging enough to be fun and drifting across still pools.
Skyline View Float: Scioto River Downtown
The 20-year investment in the Scioto River Downtown has created a waterfront corridor of parks, fountains, entertainment and, with the removal of the Main Street dam, a paddling adventure with a grand view of the city's skyline. Put in at Lower Scioto Park on West Whittier Street for an easy upstream paddle (under most conditions there is little current) past parks, COSI and the Scioto Mile to the confluence with the Olentangy 2 miles upstream. Then drift lazily back to the put-in, enjoying the scenery a second time as the gentle current carries you along.
Dog Paddle: Big Walnut Creek in Gahanna
Yes, they do make lifejackets for dogs. And your dog's floating coat will impress other canine companions when you arrive at Pizzurro Park, a popular dog park in Gahanna and a good take-out spot after a paddle from Creekside Park. Or let the dog burn off energy at the park, then put in at Pizzurro and continue down the river to Big Walnut Park in Columbus.
Fishing Float: Scioto River from Griggs Dam to Confluence Park
This trip is an urban experience, to be sure, passing by McKinley Avenue junkyards surrounded by the hum of passing cars. But recent surveys by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources found more smallmouth bass per river mile here than in any stretch of the Scioto. Others hook into saugeye, crappies, sunfish, carp and, in recent years, a hybrid of white and striped bass known as "whipers." When you reach the stairstep dam near the city water treatment intake, portage river right.

text: How Risky is High Yield and Today's Other Top StoriesAuthor: Adam GreenLast Updated: May 23, 2020 To get the Best of the Bond Market delivered to your email daily click here.Investors are continuing to exit high-yield bond funds, pulling another $2.4 billion out of the sector in the week ending August 13, marking the fifth straight week of withdrawals according to data from Bank of America Merrill Lynch.This comes in stark contrast to bond funds overall, which attracted net inflows of $3.8 billion, marking their biggest inflows in six weeks, according to the report, which also cited data from fund-tracker EPFR Global. Funds that mainly hold U.S. Treasuries attracted $2.2 billion in new cash.But as investors rush out of junk, some funds are taking the opportunity to jump back in, with analysts saying high-yield now offers fair value. Begging the question, how risky is high-yield right now?Head of fund research at Brewin Dolphin, Ben Gutteridge said the market's response to the sector, for now at least, is not the signal of something more worrying, but equally it is not a good time to be adding to existing holdings.While much of the outflows so far have been a result of investors switching out of high yield into safer money-market and government bond funds, Gutteridge believes we have seen the bulk of the selling."A general improvement in economic performance and corporate profitability leaves us doubtful that investors will sacrifice the yield currently on offer in high-yield bonds in order to move into cash or government bonds. We are also sceptical that holders of high-yield bonds would be motivated to switch into equities, given the pervasive overweight that already exists in this asset class," he said. But in the short-term, volatility is set to remain."An illiquid trading environment has exacerbated price declines that first began in June on profit taking and then continued through July as equity markets remained volatile on a host of concerns from geopolitics to earnings to the economy," said investment strategist for LPL Financial, Anthony Valeri."While high-yield volatility has startled some, we view it as a natural market correction. High-yield bonds may remain volatile near term, but if the average yield (which is now 5.9 percent) increases, it should help bring out demand given still-low yields across high-quality bond markets," he said.

I don't know enough about either, but it is still a no-brainer; I know which of the two movies I am going to see.
In the much hyped corner is 'Captain Phillips', billed as the true story of the 2009 Maersk Alabama pirate hijack, and which portrays the Captain- Tom Hanks in the movie- as the quintessential all- American hero. The problem is that too many of the crew say that Phillips is a villain instead, and that the 'true' screen story is actually riddled with lies.
In the understated corner is 'All is Lost', a movie that has just one actor in its entire cast- Robert Redford- and which is shot completely on the water. He has no name in the movie, and he is the only visible human in the viewers' sight throughout the film. The story is about a man whose boat hits a shipping container in the middle of the Indian Ocean (yep, the same one as with Phillips) and who tries to stay alive thereafter. I did not read too much about the movie and risk spoiling it for me. It will have no dialogues, I think. It also promises to be infinitely more interesting.
To be fair, I had decided to avoid "Captain Phillips" like the plague anyway. I dislike hype and hyped movies. (I walked out of the 'Titanic' less than halfway, and you don't learn anything the second time you are kicked by a mule).
Also, this sticks in my craw: the seaman that is taken hostage today is more likely to be Asian, not American, and movies like "Captain Phillips" do nothing except repeat Hollywood stereotypes while downplaying reality. I find it distasteful that- like in movies about the Vietnam war- there is an overdose of 'white' heroes when a sizeable number of combatants are actually of a less sale-able colour. Unlike Bollywood, Hollywood's tinkering with the truth is usually very subtle, but it angers me anyway that the world's perception of seamen, Somali piracy and the perception of who the victims and heroes really are is going to be determined by "Captain Phillips" from now on in.
(Will anyone even remember Korean Captain Seog Hae-Gyun, who was awarded the IMO Award for Exceptional Bravery at Sea in 2011 after pirates had taken over the 'Samho Jewelry'? For six days he and his men fooled the pirates on board, zigzagging in the Indian Ocean, contaminating fuel and secretly communicating with the outside world, despite Seog Hae-Gyun having been beaten, legs and shoulder fractured. He was then shot four times when rescuers boarded the Jewelry, and was in a coma for a month after being transferred ashore. Now there's a movie begging to be made.)To boot, "Captain Phillips" seems to promote the wrong hero. Amongst the numerous crew allegations against him- something that has created sufficient controversy in the US to enhance hopes of cash registers ringing loudly at the box office- are some that Phillips has directly or indirectly admitted to. For example, that he took the ship too close to Somalia despite repeated warnings on email. That he continued to hold a fire drill (changed to security drill in the movie) even as pirate boats approached the Alabama. That the media stories that claimed at the time- and now, in the movie- about his offering himself as a hostage to the pirates were actually lies.
But there are other, equally serious allegations, about Phillips longstanding reputation for being arrogant and ignoring the numerous attacks on ships that had been reported in the same waters he was taking the Alabama into. Allegations that there were two attacks on the Alabama in eighteen hours, not one. And that, as the pirates finally boarded, many of the crew decided to lock themselves in the engine room- a clear indication, if true, that the heroic Captain was not calling the shots on board anymore. A crewmember claims that Phillips had no real plan except to throw up his hands and surrender.
Chief Engineer Mike Perry seems to have been the hero out there, not Phillips. It was he who led the crew downstairs and locked them in. It was Perry who disabled the ship, then attacked the pirate-in-Chief and seized him, later trying to get the rest of the pirates to exchange the man for Phillips. The other heroes in my mind are the US naval men of Seal Team Six, who took out the pirates in the lifeboat leaving Phillips untouched.
So pardon me if I seem underwhelmed by the Captain Phillips hype.
I'd much rather watch 'All is Lost.' That seems to be more true to what a sailor's life is all about- solitary, under pressure, sometimes battling to survive. Then, it seems to be a thinking man's movie; it promises to be understated and subtle, not melodramatic and obvious. It does not appear to be a movie where they can lie and get away with it. It is tough to lie to the ocean.
"All is Lost" does not claim to be a true story, but I will bet that it will be more real than "Captain Phillips." It will, I bet you, show the reality of life at sea more believably. The nationality of the protagonist will not matter, because all sailors will identify with him- this much I can tell without having seen it. It will also probably portray, to me, a truer and more authentic American hero; if we are lucky, a hero of the Hemmingway-isque mould. It will tell us why true seamen treasure true solitude.
And it will do so without all the drama I expect from 'Captain Phillips.'

EnergySage published today its first Solar Marketplace Intel Report™, providing one-of-a-kind visibility into the residential and small-scale commercial solar market in the
Every day, thousands of solar shoppers enter the EnergySage Solar Marketplace and interact with hundreds of high quality, pre-screened solar installers and financiers across the country. The sum of these interactions results in millions of data points generated by everything from solar installation and financing quotes to solar shopping behaviors and buying preferences. In just two years, the EnergySage Solar Marketplace has facilitated more than $25 million in solar PV system transactions and continues to grow rapidly.
Primarily focused on the residential and small-scale commercial solar market, EnergySage's new report is a complement to the quarterly research produced by GTM Research and Solar Energy Industry Association (SEIA), which centers more on industry-wide macroeconomic trends.
Key national findings from the 2H 2014-1H 2015 EnergySage Solar Marketplace Intel Report include:
- Solar installation costs are continuing to fall. In 1H 2015, consumers paid on average $3.79 per watt in gross cost and achieved payback in just 7.5 years. The costs range from $3.21 to $4.37 for standard to high efficiency equipment packages. This data shows that by shopping around first, consumers can save thousands of dollars and select the equipment package that offers them the best value.
- Online solar shoppers are buying their systems outright – instead of leasing. Ninety percent of EnergySage's solar shoppers elected to own their system, either by paying in cash or financing with a solar loan, rather than sign up for a third-party lease or PPA. This statistic is significantly higher than the 40% of solar shoppers nationwide that choose to own their system.
- Solar is meeting the majority of electricity needs for homeowners. Solar is helping homeowners generate almost 85% of their electricity needs in 2015. The average 7.9 per kilowatt (kW) system generates about $2,000 worth of electricity each year.
- Increasing fragmentation of solar equipment manufacturers & financing companies. In 2H 2014, there were 36 panel brands and 20 inverter brands bid out in the EnergySage Solar Marketplace. By 1H 2015, those numbers increased by 20% to 43 panel brands and 24 inverter brands – with SolarWorld and SMA America maintaining the largest share of their respective markets. Additionally, there are nearly 40 loan providers actively offered to solar shoppers in the online marketplace.
- Installers are not committed to a specific panel or inverter brand. The report shows that installers paired panels with a diversity of inverter brands. Ten of the top 12 panel manufacturers were paired with four or more inverter brands; SolarWorld, the most commonly quoted panel brand, was frequently paired with six different brands of inverters.
"The residential solar market is a vibrant $7 billion industry, and on track to generate more revenue by year-end 2016 than Major League Baseball," said EnergySage CEO Vikram Aggarwal. "The economics of solar are rapidly changing for solar shoppers, installers, and financiers alike. As demonstrated by the data within our Solar Marketplace Intel Report, it's becoming more affordable for U.S. households to adopt solar. And, with the increasing consumer adoption of marketplace solutions like EnergySage, it's also becoming easier for solar installers and financiers to find their customers."

In a new high watermark for unreliable narration, it seems that the universe of Space Dandy is a universe at war, with two factions - the Gogol and Jaicro empires - duking it out while trying to develop the super-weapons that will give them the upper hand in this conflict.
Not that any of this is much more than tangentially related to Dandy and company's adventures, as an issue with the Aloha Oe that is beyond QT's capabilities means they need to find a nearby planet to have repairs carried out... and whaddya know, they just so happen to be close to Meow's home planet. Although he's hardly thrilled at the prospect of returning home, the prospect of free food and lodgings while repairs are affected means its a no-brainer for Dandy.
Thus, we get to see exactly why Meow left to adventure in space - although he has a lovely family, his home planet of Betelgeuse is a backwater with nothing to do but work dead-ends jobs, drink, settle down, raise a family and rinse and repeat that same story for generation after generation. Ironically, this is exactly the kind of repetitive life that Meow and his cohorts are forced to "enjoy" as they become stuck in a temporal loop - a loop which reminds Meow of everything he hates about his home planet, but also everything he's missing from leaving it behind.
In many ways, this is a strange little episode to sum up - it certainly has its moments of comedy, but its prime goal seems to be to say something (or at least pose some questions) about the endless monotony of everyday life, and whether it's something to be run from or embraced. Although neither this concept nor its humour stands out, the end result is a broadly enjoyable one that held my attention while also largely managing to be an example of a temporal loop in anime "done right" (yes, I'm looking at you, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya). This won't end up being one of Space Dandy's most memorable episodes I'd wager, but it succeeded in what it seemingly set out to if nothing else.

I was skeptical when I opened a message inviting me for an assessment interview on Monday, as I could not recall applying to the said firm. I proceeded to check out the website attached to the message and I was impressed. They had a website and it looked authentic.
I woke up early that fateful morning and prayed for the best possible outcome. With my make up on fleek, hair well combed, I stepped out into the glorious heat that is a second nature to the state. I located the venue easily enough but I was confused as to why it looked like a guest room in Jos. I asked around and the members of the "staff" were quite polite and seemed professional but it was too soon to tell.
I was surprised to see a woman leaving the door I was just directed to. Why would someone leave an interview slated for 9a.m by 8:55a.m? The receptionist, if I may call her one was a pudgy woman, most likely in her late thirties or early forties with a complexion that was more reddish orange than fair and would rather be left to peruse her Tecno tablet. "Good morning, I was invited for an interview today at 9", I began. She looked up from her diligent swiping and asked in a less than concerned tone, "How did you apply?" Eh, how else if not online ma. She then asked to see the text I received, told me to sign in and enter the "hall".
The hall was a room with green and pink walls, matching green curtains, an obviously dysfunctional air conditioner and two barely rotating fans. Someone had placed a desk and a chair facing us at one end of the room, pictures of the governor and president to most likely to convince us of their legitimacy and supposed quotes by Soyinka and another figure (whose name I can't recall) to give the room an ambience of seriousness and motivation I guess.
There were five rows of seven chairs and many of the candidates had converted their documents to hand fans. Oh dear, what have I done to myself. I sat ever so gingerly on a seat and tried to check out my competition. There were people of all ages, from fresh faced SSCE holders to men and women who could be their parents.
We were asked to turn off our phones and maintain decorum by a lady who seemed most uncomfortable in her heels. She welcomed the first speaker who practically shouted to us about having the right attitude in all things. Four people walked out before she finished her speech and we were then handed test scripts containing questions like differentiate between an employee and an entrepreneur, who is a smart worker and who is a hard worker. Another speaker came up and she was to be our interviewer. I witnessed the weirdest interview that day. She would walk up to each of us and whisper her interview questions. Right there in the room hall. Two people were asked to leave at the end of the whispered interviews and the rest of us listened for our job descriptions.
The interviewer/CEO talked for an eternity before concluding that we would essentially be the marketers who would take their firm to the next level. We would also undergo training at the cost of N15, 000. The number of people seated reduced even further. She then announced that the training was actually N5000 and she had inflated the price earlier to discourage unserious persons. The rest of us were asked to pay cash, use online banking services or use the P.O.S machine which was already plugged in and waiting. Most of us came up with excuses explaining our inabilities to pay that day and promised to do so before the week ran out. I signed out and fled with my ATM, and have since replied every interview invite via text with a NO, THANK YOU.

Overcome By A Painting ...
I've heard tell that as a painter, the holy grail is to "get a reaction from the audience."
Well I can proudly report that a person had a nervous breakdown over one of my paintings and was "overcome by the painting" to the degree that they spent about an hour hyperventilating, trembling and crying ...
The person reported that at first, the painting made no sense. Then the lines and shapes started to move which caused energy to flow into them. They struggled against this until they were finally "overcome by the painting."
The person also said they'd been to many art galleries in major cities around the world and never had such a reaction or anything close to it before.
Cool ... :-)
Now we do have to take into account that this happened at an EMO conference and so the purists might say, "That doesn't count!"
I'd say it's a start.
The flowing lines in symbol paintings are movements, energy movements, and the whole painting is a broadcaster, absolutely. You need to have your 6th sense in order so you can notice what goes on with these shapes which are really multi-dimensional and not flat at all, but if you do (have your 6th sense online) then you can "read" the painting.
And I guess some might find the story challenging; others might find it beautiful. Others still might find it perplexing. And for people who are energy blind, it's just a bunch of meaningless multicoloured squiggles.
That too is as it is, as they say.
In the meantime, I'm well happy and consider this person's response to be a step in the right direction.
Yeah folks art is supposed to MOVE you ...
Happy days,
This is the painting in question: Soften & Flow from 2004, aka "The EMO Symbol Painting."

Computer World reported on the email hack that Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca recently experienced, which resulted in 2.6 terabytes of leaked data being released into the public domain.
Panama Papers
This major data leak became a big news story worldwide, with over a hundred new organisations filing reports based on the release of the Panama Papers. It is unclear how Mossack Fonseca's emails were hacked, but tests indicate that the company did not encrypt its emails with Transport Layer Security protocols. The Panamanian law firm has so far responded to the scandal, which only seems to get worse by the day, by insisting that it has not done anything wrong.
In a statement, the firm said: "While we may have been the victim of a data breach, nothing in this illegally obtained cache of documents suggests we've done anything wrong or illegal, and that's very much in keeping with the global reputation we've worked hard to build over the past 40 years of doing business the right way." Mossack Fonseca also noted: "Obviously, no one likes to have their property stolen, and we intend to do whatever we can to ensure the guilty parties are brought to justice."
Data leaks and reputation
Mossack Fonseca's response to the Panama Papers illustrates that data leaks can inflict significant damage on your company's reputation. Because this scandal involves high profile individuals, it was inevitable that it would be picked up by national press. Once picked up, the media generated was always likely to rank on the first page of Google, as well as remaining there for the foreseeable future.
Increasingly, organisations are coming to see cyber-crime as a real threat. For instance, 79% of UK universities questioned by Vanson Bourne said that they have faced reputational damage due to a data leak. A report from Google and McAfee suggests that there are roughly 2,000 cyber-attacks globally every day, costing the worldwide economy around £300 billion per year.
Cyber-attackers are developing new, ever-more effective strategies to hack into your company's digital infrastructure and leak your private information. Even something as simple as staff negligence or an ex-employee with a grudge can provide them with the opening to facilitate a data leak which damages your image online, so it is wise to ensure your company can handle the fallout.
Handling a data leak
With cyber-crime rates rising every year, it is more important than ever that you develop a strategy, which you can roll out if your company experiences a data leak. Top industry experts recently recommended in the Digital Guardian that you take the following steps.
- Locate the source: First, find the root of the issue so you can begin dealing with it. It may be possible to employ engineers to utilise forensic techniques, so they can analyse your online assets' traffic volumes and use this information to locate the source of the breach.
- Act with transparency: It is vital that you act transparently and sincerely after a data breach. Consumers highly value honesty, so if you fail to admit fault and accept responsibility, you will engender mistrust which could further damage your image online.
- Provide detailed explanations: On the subject of transparency, hold nothing back. When informing the necessary parties of a data breach, explain fully why the situation took place, so you can detail how you will fix the problem and regain consumer trust.
- Mitigate and change: Make conclusions from the data breach and use this information to describe solutions for affected consumers where possible, to stem the flow of negative press. Afterwards, implement changes to ensure that the problem does not reoccur.
Minimise the risk
Be pro-active and implement the following preventative measures ahead of time, to reduce the risk of a cyber-hack.
- Prepare in advance: Identify which of your company's data systems are most vulnerable to cyber-crime. Armed with this information, you can implement the protection measures necessary to ensure they withstand cyber-attack efforts.
- Implement encryption: Safeguard your company's private information via encryption codes to bolster your cyber-security. Some encryptions can blind certain gateway security products, but your team can utilise encrypted network transmission tools get around this issue.
- Monitor information: It is essential that you assign staff to monitor all the information which flows into and out of your company to reduce the chances of a data leak. In particular keep track of what information is being shared with consumers, suppliers and partners, as well as the traffic on all your firm's networks, to identify cyber-breach risks.
- Facilitate network security: Web and email are two of the most common means through which cyber-criminals access your business' vulnerable information. It is key that you invest in network security which covers these areas, to ensure that you safeguard your company's reputation from hackers.
- Bolster endpoint security: Employees are increasingly utilising mobile devices to do their jobs. It is wise to ensure that your firm can monitor and control any devices connected to your corporate network centrally, so staff can work away from the office without putting your private data at risk.
Safeguard your company's reputation
With the Panama Papers scandal showing no signs of dying down, it is clear that data leaks can be disastrous for your company. Be pro-active and be prepared; by developing a comprehensive strategy to handle data leaks, you will be able to act instantaneously to limit the damage a cyber-attack could inflict on your firm's reputation online.

Jamie Cullum: "Before he was famous he was just a baby-faced kid"
Photo Credit: Ferran Sendra
NÚRIA MARTORELL / Barcelona
The aura given off Jamie Cullum is not proportional to their height. Menudo and smiling, is on tour promoting his new album, 'Momentum'. A compact variety, full of surprises, produced by Jim Abbis (Arctic Monkeys, Adele) and Dan The Automator (Kasabian, DJ Shadow). The pianist, singer-songwriter and has scheduled two concerts in Catalonia. The next November 28 will be playing in the room Barts. And earlier, on August 5th at the Festival of Peralada (Girona).
– Is Jamie Cullum at its best?
– I do not tend to look back or forward. It's good to live in the present. And I really think that this feeling, this way of singing, these compositions and how to approach this production could not have led to five years ago. So possibly, yes. I'm at my best.
– On this album has one foot in the eternal youth that seems installed and another in adulthood. Do you have something to do with the fact that it was father?
– Indeed. Having two girls you plant in adulthood. But on the other hand, you can look to the past in a more critical, constructive sense, and you want to continue having that youthful enthusiasm and youthful attitude to music. Do not lose the ability to communicate. And the sum of these two parts is what comes on the disc and makes it interesting.
– And keep that unprejudiced attitude leads him to climb on the piano, to mingle with the public … Who does not know him might think that answers a marketing strategy.
– When I started, I was very shy! He acted more inside, without any confidence. And it was music that brought that part of me: my true self. Over the years I gained security and I have no longer any fear of failure. If something goes wrong, I get as part of the show. We assume, period.

Administrators at the University of Florida and The Independent Florida Alligator continue to battle over the fate of 19 orange news racks that serve as Alligator distribution points on campus.
The so-called "UF-Alligator rack fight" is stirring a rising tide of news media attention and UF alumni criticism.
The highly-visible racks have been situated for roughly 30 years at "some of the most heavily-trafficked" spots on the 2,000-acre main campus in Gainesville, Fla. The university plans to replace them with black modular newsstands of its own, charging the Alligator an annual licensing fee of $100 per stand to place their papers upon them. The initial targeting of the 19 racks appears to be the first step in a larger push that will most likely lead to the removal of all independent Alligator stands.
Along with being a money issue, UF officials say the racks don't "blend in with the historic look of the campus" and are foul-weather concerns. As a university spokesman tells the Student Press Law Center, "Every time we have a tropical storm or hurricane, we have to get the racks off campus. The worry was that this was a safety issue . . . where those racks could become dangerous projectiles in a storm. The modular racks solve that problem."
Alligator staffers and their supporters are not buying these style and safety concerns. They say money and editorial control are the real motivations behind the sudden administrative finagling.
An online petition on Change.org, titled "Stop Removal of the Alligator's Newspaper Racks from UF's Campus," secured nearly 3,000 signatures.
The petition's creator, Alligator staff writer Erin Jester, explains, "The orange racks are the best way for the Alligator to stay independent and be easily accessible to students. By forcing the paper into university-owned racks, UF is able to control the Alligator's campus distribution, which means the university could eventually force the newspaper off campus. The licensing fee is also an unfair tax on the paper. UF is forcing the Alligator to pay to distribute a free paper that serves the student body."
In an editorial, headlined "Save the Racks: The Alligator Needs Your Help," top Alligator editors similarly contend, "By removing our racks, we believe the UF administration is not acting in the best interest of the students. With UF now controlling our distribution on campus, what happens if we have coverage of the UF administration that they find unfavorable? . . . The uncertainty of this new arrangement will create a chilling effect, hampering our ability to provide students with the most accurate and unbiased coverage."
Separately, Miami Herald columnist Fabiola Santiago, a UF alumnus and former Alligator staffer, asks, "What is really behind this attempt to undermine the student newspaper and tax what is essentially a public service? . . . This isn't a safety issue, and certainly UF's orange-and-blue colors aren't suddenly out of fashion in campus decor. It's at best a display of insensitivity to the value of a newspaper that shouldn't be treated like a giveaway shopper."

As a naturally gifted Psychic, phone readings for me, work the same way as a face to face or email reading. It actually makes no difference to me whether or not you are present.
For me, a psychic reading is a lot like "watching a movie of your life." I can rewind it, fast forward it and look at your life in this present moment.
As an internationally accredited Gifted Psychic, I have given over 5005+ psychic readings.
I offer incredible levels of honesty, integrity, respect, compassion, empathy, knowledge and wisdom. People often say they come to me as a "stranger" and "leave as a friend."
I offer messages, direction, comfort, information, clarification and confirmation in all my readings.
Feel free to ask me questions about:
- Love and Relationships
- Personal issues
- Children and Teenagers / Family situations
- Career
- Well being
- Your Spiritual journey and life in general
- Spiritual and Psychic guidance and tuition
Note: I cannot give you financial, investment or health advice but can look at ways to use your own talents and strengths to improve your situation.
As a Gifted Medium, I have at times, provided comfort and closure by reconnecting family and friends on both sides of the veil.
I pride myself on my authenticity and confidentiality and confidently feel that you will receive answers to questions around your priorities that will inspire you to make positive changes in your lives.
Symptoms of confusion, depression, despair, anger and frustration are often replaced with a feeling of universal love, understanding and joy.
A psychic reading can help you move forward in a clear manner and enrich your life.
Please prepare for your psychic readings by really thinking "why you want one."
Look at all the areas in your life that you would like me to "read" for you.
You may like me to read family and friends. If you do, it would be beneficial to email me a photo.
You can make the most of your reading by making a list of questions that you would like to ask me. Times goes really quick during a reading so ensure that you capture your priorities.
Preparing questions helps you set a strong intention that you are ready to receive messages of direction. The more you care about preparing for your reading, the more you will get out of the experience. You can ask general or highly specific questions/topics.
I will not tell you what you want to "hear". I will tell you what I "get for you." After all, they are your messages and will not mean anything to me.
Psychic information for me is instant. So, in the beginning and so that we can bring your energy and Guides into the reading, I will ask you for your questions. You will receive the answers instantly. I will also give you any other guidance that I receive.
Sometimes your Soul knows right at the outset what it wants to ask. Tune into these questions as a priority for yourself.
After purchase, you will be contacted to schedule the call. Please ensure all your details are entered correctly at checkout.
Thank you.

"I felt like jumping up onstage to join them…full of vibrant energy…Kathakbox is at the same time uplifting and highly enjoyable." (Londondance.com)
Kathakbox is the latest production from one of the UK's most dynamic dance companies. Sonia Sabri Company celebrate the diverse energy of modern Britain through a brand new dance style: Urban Kathak.
Kathakbox brings together Indian Kathak dance's grace and vigour and the rhythms & rhymes of Hip Hop culture.

Kathakbox does not 'box in' these genres to a particular time or place, but discovers the raw spirit and heartbeat of each art form which reverberate between cultures.
Reflecting the diverse, intersecting rhythms of the human experience, Kathakbox encourages us to 'think outside the box'.
This bold, heart-pounding production features Sonia Sabri performing alongside dancers Nathan Geering, Suzanne Grubham and Amayra Fuller, tabla maestro Sarvar Sabri, acclaimed spoken word artist & vocalist Marcina Arnold and beatboxer Shan Bansil.
