- Well-loved 1990s comedienne Whitney Tyson is now back
- Earlier, Tyson disclosed she lived under the Nagtahan Bridge for 15 years
- A lot of Instagram users expressed happiness for her comeback
Thanks to the hit series FPJ's Ang Probinsyano, well-loved 1990s comedienne Whitney Tyson is back.
On Instagram, a video clip from the series was uploaded by Dreamscape PH. The clip shows one of the Tyson's scenes in the show.
Instagram users expressed happiness for the comeback of Tyson, who has been away from the limelight and has been living an impoverished life for years.
"Nakakatuwa na nabigyan po ulit ng chance si Whitney na umarte," said @darlin_83.
[I'm happy that Whitney was given the chance to act again.]
"Yey, Whitney Tyson! More projects po for her," wrote @sharkaclosey01.
Others, meanwhile, said that Whitney remains a good comedienne.
Earlier, Tyson, who is Bonnie Bowler in real life, disclosed that she lived under the Nagtahan Bridge for 15 years.
With her faith in God still intact amid everything, she used to pray from time to time, "Bigyan Mo pa ako ng isa (pa na pagkakataon) na makita sa telebisyon [Lord, please give me one more chance to be seen on television again]."
And her prayers got answered through the aforementioned primetime series.
Here's the emotional Rated K episode about what happened to Tyson while away from the limelight:
Now here she is, back to acting again:

Contraction & Convergence: An urgent global imperative to tackle Climate Change
Why have the past climate negotiations including the one at Copenhagen in December 2009 been inadequate to deal with the serious climate crisis facing the planet? What is the model that allows for an equitable transition to a zero carbon future – probably the only model that will ensure climate justice and keep the planet from disastrous temperature rises? How can we urge the new UK government to embrace this model as ordinary citizens of the world – so that it benefits all developed AND developing nations?
With the worst of the financial crisis behind us, the engines of economic growth have begun to hum again. From a carbon emissions point of view, we have much cause for concern as there is a direct correlation between GDP and GHG emissions. (See diagram on the right).
We have not yet made that shift to where economic growth comes with low carbon emissions. On the contrary, we are causing climate change at a faster rate than we are mitigating it. How can we manage future emissions in a way that economies, human societies and ecosystems are not blown apart due to the growth paradigm [1] to which we as an economy driven world are addicted – of infinite growth in a planet of finite resources?
The world is facing a serious climate crisis [2a], with ever increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHG) in the atmosphere. Measured in parts per million (ppm), the current concentrations of CO2 as of April 2010 are 392 ppm. (See diagram on left based on figures released every month by the Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii).
We're already past the safe limit of 350ppm[2b] – a level beyond which gives us an increasing probability of exceeding the overall 2 degree temperature rise [3] as compared to global temperatures at the start of the industrial revolution when CO2 concentrations were about 280 ppm. The 2 degree temperature rise is the upper limit world leaders have committed to observing.
Just as we have a budget at home that we cannot exceed without negative consequences, we also now have a limited carbon budget [4], if overshot, will have catastrophic consequences – rising global temperatures, biodiversity and species loss impacting sustainability of ecosystems, melting polar glaciers and rising sea levels that may engender mass displacement of millions of people.[5]
We, as members of the public, have a moral responsibility to understand and engage in the climate change debate. It is our responsibility to have a say, to demand a say, in our children's future – not only for the future of their education, finances and health, but critically for their ecological future on which everything else rests.
Important as they may be, we cannot leave the issue to politicians, businesses, NGOs and climate scientists alone, especially considering that various governments haven't gone very far with the reduction of CO2 emissions since the Kyoto Protocol [6] that was signed in 1997.
Various climate negotiations under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change [7] (UNFCCC) including the recent one at Copenhagen in December 2009, the COP15 [8], have failed to arrive at a "fair, ambitious and binding" climate deal that defines a clear future path for reduction of emissions.
Although it was recognised during the negotiations that tackling climate change is important, there was less clarity on how to share the "burden." Certainly, many developing countries felt there was injustice in why they were being asked to share the burden of the problem of solving climate change, when they had little to do with its creation.
What is the most equitable model to combat climate change?
Every human being should have equal rights on this planet and that extends to the amount of carbon emissions he or she is allowed. Our current global average use per person is about 1.3 Metric Tonnes Carbon [MTC] (Carbon emissions refer to carbon atoms which weigh less than the CO2 molecule, so divide the per capita CO2 emissions shown in the diagram on the right by a factor of 3.667 if you want to get to per capita MTC)
The use of the global atmosphere is very unequal, with richer countries taking the lion's share. About 33% of the global population have carbon emissions greater than the world average of 1.3MTC, with 67% below it.
According to Global Carbon Project.org "From a historical perspective, developing countries with 80% of the world's population still account for about 20% of the cumulative emissions since 1751; the poorest countries in the world, with 800 million people, have contributed less than 1% of these cumulative emissions."
For any climate deal to be successful, unequal future use of the air as a dump for carbon will never get majority support. We have a better chance of avoiding disastrous climate change, if we reduce this world average to 0.9MTC by the next 20 years or so. All nations basically "converge" to this global average by around 2030.
Developed countries make steeper and swifter cuts or "contractions" to come down to the lower per capita average, while poorer nations which are below the average can increase their per capita emissions till all countries have converged to the same level. After that, everyone transitions to null emissions.
This is the simple essence of the "Contraction & Convergence" (C&C) model put forth by the Global Commons Institute (GCI), a UK non-profit organisation set up in 1990 by Aubrey Meyer. C & C was proposed to the UNFCC in 1996, and though explicit mention of this model is not made often in the negotiations, it has been the underlying philosophy behind them since that time, the devil being in the details.
C & C is a simple, elegant and equitable carbon rationing framework for an international agreement on CO2 emissions. To borrow from the GCI website:
'Contraction', refers to the 'full-term event' in which the future global total of greenhouse gas [GHG] emissions from human sources is shrunk over time in a measured way to near zero-emissions within a specified time-frame. Each country starts with a certain entitlement level of CO2 emissions in line with present emission level. Then the contraction is scheduled for each year until we get to compliance with the 'objective' of the UNFCCC – a safe and stable GHG concentration in the global atmopshere.
Having defined a global budget, the second step, 'Convergence' refers to the full international sharing of the emissions contraction-event, where the 'emissions-entitlements' for all countries result from them converging on the declining global per capita average of emissions arising under the contraction rate chosen. Each country is assigned annual allowances which starts for example from actuals in 2000 and converges to a common level of per-capita emissions in an agreed target year. While developed countries are receiving drastically reduced emissions entitlements, the emission entitlements of developing nations increase every year till we reach the date when they are all equal per capita. If they don't use all their the entitlements, they can sell these to the rest of the world, and use it to fund their energy efficiency, green technology or adaptation investments.
This video clip from the climate change movie directed by Franny Armstrong, "The Age of Stupid" portrays the C & C concept in a simple manner:
C& C as a model provides clarity in terms of goals to achieve – the targets, the timeframe and the mechanism. It provides us the "shared language" to work together towards a workable solution to climate change.
It is an equitable model as in Aubrey Meyer's words from the UNEP's Climate Change Action Magazine 2008 (Pg 27) [9]:
- Equity as collateral is the 100% entirety of the emissions contraction even necessary for concentration stability
- The social equity as the equal per person on the same 100% throughout that event but softened by convergence
- The commercial equity is the shares pre-distributed this way sum to the same 100% and are tradable so as to accelerate the positive sum game for the emissions-free economy that must emerge if we are to prosper in the future.
Integrated and implemented this way, we have a chance of accelerating the positive sum game for the emissions-free economy that must emerge if we are to prosper globally in the future.
Climate Justice without Vengeance
C & C is a non-prescriptive model. It can calculate any rate of global emissions contraction required to meet UNFCCC goal for safe and stable concentrations of GHG in the atmosphere and any rate of convergence to equal per capita emissions entitlements within any rate of contraction, to satisfy the UNFCCC equity rationale.
C & C doesn't impose on any nation or groups of nations what the rate of convergence should be; it is a model that can be used as an underlying basis for nations to sit together and negotiate this rate. By modelling various scenarios it shows what timeframe is acceptable, and what is dangerous if we delay convergence.
Unfortunately, this did not happen at the COP15 meeting at Copenhagen last year.
The "leaked" Danish texts at the summit were the cause of much furore, because developed nations were "prescribing" the convergence rate rather than using the C & C model as a basis of negotiation. The reductions in the text proposed : to achieve equal per capita emissions globally by 2050 within which developed countries must contract by 80% with a global convergence of per capita emissions by that date, which might give a 50:50 odds of remaining within a global temperature rise of 2 degrees Celsius. [ GCI had expressed concerns about the odds and the rates applied and the prescriptive nature of the proposal as you can see in this animation here]
It then became a political blame game that Aubrey Meyer and Terry O'Connell explain in this Business Green article.
The Danish texts were met with angry protests from the G-77 nations and China on two fronts:
1. It froze per capita emissions 2:1 in favour of developed nations (i.e., developed nations needed to cut down to 2.67 tonnes of carbon, whereas developing nations could not emit more than 1.44 tonnes of carbon)
2. The lion's share of what was left going to developed countries.
While the first point was not true (the convergence would have been towards equal per capita shares), there was validity in the second point. As shown in this CGI animation in the section on "Compare Rates of Convergence for Pre-Distribution of Tradeable Equity," earlier the rate of convergence, the more advantageous it is for developing nations.
For example, if the date of convergence is 2020 instead of 2050, developing nations would get an extra 40GTC of carbon entitlements, that would come out of developed countries accounts. At £100/tonne, equity of £4 Trillion can accrue to developing nations, which is in effect the "rent" paid for unused entitlements to use the atmosphere.
It would then be fair to the developing countries to be compensated for what they are underutilising. They would be able to use these funds for many purposes: green technology, adaptations, external debt and so on. This is Climate Justice.
Instead of acrimonious debate brought about by pulling out numbers from a hat, the idea is to have an organised and harmonious international negotiation with a framework like the C & C that brings all nations together under the required contraction event, for the rightful sharing of entitlements based on a mutally agreed convergence date. This is Climate Justice without Vengeance.
Why are Copenhagen targets simply not enough?
A recent report by the Potsdam Institute of Climate Change Research (PIK) and published in Nature[10] has warned that Copenhagen targets will not slow down global warming [11].
* As part of the Copenhagen Accord, 76 countries (which between them are responsible for about 80% of global greenhouse gas emissions) submitted pledges to limit their emissions by 2020.
* The US submitted a target for a reduction of 17% below 2005 levels by 2020. This equates to only 3% below 1990 levels, even though it is estimated that 25%-40% reductions are necessary in developed countries. China's goals are basically a business-as-usual scenario, while the European Union's targets are more towards a 20%-30% emissions cut. The only two countries that made pledges in line with the 2°C target are Japan and Norway.
* Global emissions in 2020 could actually end up being 20% higher than today. Many countries will raise annual emissions of greenhouse gases 10%-20% above the current levels, reaching a high of 47.9 to 53.6 Gt CO2 (gigatonnes of carbon dioxide) by 2020.
* Current pledges mean a greater than 50% chance that warming will exceed 3°C by 2100. This would put the odds of global warming levels exceeding the 2°C limit by the end of this century at 50%. However, if nations agree to halve emissions by 2050, there is still a 50% chance that warming will exceed 2°C and will almost certainly exceed 1.5°C
The sum and substance is that climate negotiations are nowhere near the kind of carbon emission reductions that will contain global temperature rise to within the safe 2°C target.
Another worrying factor as pointed out by GCI and incorporated in the C & C framework is the sink efficiency of oceans and forests – or the ability of these ecosystems to go on absorbing extra human generated generated CO2.
So far the evidence as reported by the IPCC for the last 15 years, is that the Constant Airborne Fraction (CAF) [12] (or the fraction of anthropogenic carbon emissions that accumulates in the atmosphere) has been constant at around 50%, but now this is gradually increasing as sink efficiency decreases with rising temperature.
Think of the atmosphere loosely as a bath tub – a tub with a tap running and a drain open. If we put in carbon at a faster rate than natural ecosystems can drain it out (roughly 50% of human induced CO2 emissions), then we get rising concentrations and a warmer world. Cumulatively, oceans are increasingly saturated with old GHG absorptions causing increased acidification which causes carbon-consuming life-forms in the oceans to die-off. With this and with temperatures rising, oceans are not able to absorb as efficiently as before. So we need to rework our model to factor in the new and declining sink efficiency, to make sure the tub doesn't overflow.
[The carbon tub analogy is illustrated in the diagram on the left as it appeared in the National Geographic magazine. It assumes a lower Constant Airborne Fraction of 44% which means 56% can be absorbed by our natural sinks. The IPCC studies [13](Pg 14-17) over 15 years show a CAF of 50% which means sinks can absorb only 50% and even that ability is declining]
As mentioned before, the level of CO2 in the tub is 392 parts per million (ppm) and rising by 2 or 3 ppm each year. To stop it at 450 ppm, a level many scientists consider dangerously high, John Sterman [14] MIT Sloan School of Management's Director of Systems Dynamics Group, said the world would have to cut emissions by around 80 percent by 2050. A partner in ClimateInteractive.org, he helped create the C-ROADS climate policy simulation model and Climate Scoreboard [15] that measure the long-term effects of various proposals for emissions reductions.
The C & C model proposes [16] similar targets, mentioning the maximum convergence date that is acceptable to stay within safe limits:
"to keep within 2 degrees (with a greater than 50:50 chance), a global contraction budget no more than 350- 400 GTC, with a minimum 80% cut all emissions globally by 2050 and negotiating a convergence to equal per capita shares (of 0.9 MTC) of this globally within one third of the timeline for contraction, i.e., no later than 2030."
Here is one example of the C & C model showing the scenario of per capita emissions converging to 0.9 MTC per person by 2030 and contraction of total emissions by 50% by 2050 and 90% by 2100:
For a better understanding of the model, please view the various scenarios in the GCI animation" Climate Justice without Vengeance" here. [17]
Separate Development is not Sustainable Development
Aubrey Meyer [18] is a British born musician turned climate campaigner. He co-founded the Global Commons Institute [19], a non-profit organisation for the protection of global commons [20]in 1990. The elegant C & C framework that he created was first proposed to the UNFCC in 1996. Having schooled in South Africa during the Apartheid era, he understood the injustices of the system. As a climate change activist, he was quick to recognise the "global apartheid" of carbon emissions which favours the rich over poorer nations. In his model, are embedded notions of justice and equity, in a well defined, scientific and stuctured framework for charting the path of carbon emissions reduction – a structure that he likens to that of music. He was nominated in 2008 by the UK All Parliamentary Group on Climate Change for the Nobel Peace Prize. Guardian UK in 2008 named Aubrey Meyer among "the top 50 people who could save the planet"[21] and earlier in 2005, New Statesman called him one of "10 people most likely to change the world." [22]
Here's a 11 minute video where Aubrey Meyer talks about C & C with contributions from Tim Smit (CEO, Eden Project, UK), Bill McGuire (Director, UCL Hazard Research Centre) and Dr. Rajendra Pachuari (IPCC chairman) and Lord Adair Turner (Lord Adair Turner (Chair, UK Climate Change Committee)
What is the call to action?
Here is a message from Aubrey Meyer:
May 30th 2010
Please will you support and co-sign this letter from Colin Challen to Chris Huhne?
Below is the text of a letter that is being sent soon to the Rt Hon Chris Huhne MP, the UK's new Liberal Democrat Minister of Energy and Climate Change.
The letter will be sent by Colin Challen, the former Chair of the UK All Party Parliamentary Group on Climate Change.
"It appreciates the pro-Contraction-and-Convergence [C&C] record of Chris and his party and requests him to convene a public meeting to address the way ahead in terms of this "UNFCCC-compliant Global Climate Change Framework".
Before sending it, Colin is circulating the letter widely with an open invitation to anyone in agreement with its message to become a co-signatory to it.
If you would like to be, please will you email your agreement along with your name, title and position to me asap at: -
With thanks
Aubrey Meyer
Here is the chance to lend your weight behind the C & C framework, by supporting this signature campaign to call the UK Government for a public meeting. Please send your email as above to Aubrey Meyer. If you have any comments or questions about the model or any related climate change issues, please do leave your note here at the end of this blog for him to answer or send him an email at aubrey[dot]meyer[at]btinternet[dot]com
Why should we in Asia or anywhere outside the UK support an initiative in the UK?
This is not an initiative for the UK. C & C is a just and workable solution meant for solving the climate change issue for the entire planet. Climate change is not a national, or regional issue, but a collective issue for all of humanity. By supporting this letter right now, we are as world citizens telling the new UK government, that this is a solution that matters to all of us. If the UK and other developed nations adopt this as a standard for negotiations, those in the developing world are likely to benefit most, as this is an equitable model to reduce carbon emissions. We are all looking for a win-win solution, and C & C is it. However to avoid dangerous climate change, we have to act now, act quickly and act together.
As Dr. Rajendra Pachauri( IPCC Chairman) says in the video :
" When one looks at the kinds of reductions that would be required globally, the only means for doing so is to ensure that there's contraction and convergence, and I think there's growing acceptance of this reality.
I don't see how else we might be able to fit within the overall budget for emissions for the world as a whole by 2050. We need to start putting this principle into practice as early as possible, so that by the time we reach 2050, we're not caught by surprise, we're well on a track for every country in the world that would get us there.
On the matter of 'historic responsibility', there is no doubt that accelerating the rate of convergence relative to the rate of contraction is a way of answering that we really need to get agreement from Developed and Developing Countries to subscribe to this principle."
Who supports C & C?
The GCI document called An International Conceptual Framework for Preventing Dangerous Climate Change [9] quotes several international personalities in support of the C & C model. These include Heads of State from Europe, Asia (Dr. Manmohan Singh and 7 other leaders of the Indian subcontinent), environmentalists like Sir David Attenborough and Sir Johnathon Porrit, climate scientist James Lovelock, economists Partha Dasgupta and Paul Erlich among other people.
A Report [23]of a Joint Inquiry by Bangladesh Parliament's All Party Group on Climate Change and Environment and the UK All Party Parliament Climate Change Group shows how C & C can bring the developed and developing world closer. To quote from the report:
" We believe that this lack of clarity and shared purpose is the greatest barrier to success in the UNFCCC negotiations. We wish to demonstrate in our joint approach that parliamentarians from our two countries can help resolve the burden sharing riddle.
Bangladesh is a country which is most often quoted as being one of the first that will suffer badly from the impacts of climate change; the UK is a country which since the industrial revolution has contributed most to the problem – and which now professes political leadership on the subject.
We believe that if we as Parliamentarians from these two countries can bridge the differences, and develop a shared understanding of our respective burdens and challenges, we could propose a model for both the developed and developing worlds."
What can I do to help with the Climate Change issue?
We can't create change without taking action. Share the seriousness of the climate change issue and the importance of the C& C model with your family, friends and colleagues, offline and online through social media. Write and talk to your ministers, and members of parliament. Write to various magazines and forums. We can make ourselves heard by voicing our opinions and concerns about our shared future and those of the coming generations.
As Sterman says, "In the end, it comes down to public support. We have to change the way we use energy and support policies that will enable those changes to occur. Science is no longer the bottleneck to action. We need to focus on social and political change."
Thank you!

Gilad Atzmon: More Than Just a MusicianJoe Rennison for Salem-News.com
(LONDON) - Few students currently at University of London will remember Gilad Atzmon's gig at SOAS in 2006. His performance was exemplary, as all of his live performances are. Four years later, Atzmon is still gigging, still writing and still pushing the boundaries of thought and expression.
I met Atzmon in Soho opposite Ronnie Scotts. As I wait for him to arrive I spot his name on the October listings for Ronnie's, a testament to Atzmon's status within the Jazz community. We meet and go around the corner for breakfast.
On 18 November, The London Jazz Festival will play host to Atzmon and the Orient House Ensemble (OHE) as they celebrate their 10th anniversary. The group is Atzmon's mainstay and has seen him develop as a musician.
The OHE began back in 2000. "I started with Asaf Sirkis," says Atzmon, "and we realised that we needed two other people and we basically auditioned quite a few and we couldn't find anyone and then Frank came back from Boston."
'Frank' is Frank Harrison, a pianist of considerable talent who spent time at the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston before returning to England. "The first thing he asked me is, 'Gilad, do you want me to try and play like you?' I said, 'You do whatever you want to do' and it was heaven and it has been heaven since then. The man," Gilad pauses, "is a fucking genius."
The gig will consist of three sets; Early OHE, Gilad with strings, and recent OHE. "We will play a marathon. Three or four hours. Three sets. We will play material from our first few albums. Then we play our strings project. Then we play our new offering The Tide Has Changed."
People have said to Atzmon that The Tide Has Changed is the closest thing to his live show. The recorded Atzmon and the live Atzmon are distinct. Live, his improvisations are often hard bee-bop that make you sit up and listen. His albums tend to be more melodic and incorporate Middle Eastern styles as well.
Particular highlights on the album are Bolero At Sunrise, Atzmon's take on the well known Ravel tune, and We Lament, which seems to echo aspects of Michael Brecker's Ballad Book. The album is also an example of the close relationship between Atzmon's music and his writing. The title of the album refers to the Arab-Israeli conflict. "I think that the tide has changed," says Atzmon.
He is more than just a musician. Depending on when you meet him, you could describe him as a musician, an activist, an academic, a teacher or a philosopher - the list could go on. Atzmon attended Essex University, achieving a Master's degree in Philosophy. "I think that what university is all about is a genuine and profound attempt to understand the world and to understand the subject that is part of understanding." He goes on: "The problem is that we have lost our ability to philosophise. We don't know how to ask questions."
Atzmon is critical of political correctness. He says that the construction of critical thought is the only weapon that we have against political correctness and that all we can do is follow the premises of an argument and dismantle it logically. "What is political correctness? Political correctness is a political scent that doesn't allow political negation," says Atzmon. "In this society that is supposed to be tolerant and liberal, there are a few topics that we cannot address."
"And I am sorry to say it, but Iran, for me, is freer. To quote Adorno's idea about freedom; Adorno says that in Soviet Russia you were freer because you were aware of the boundaries of your freedom. When you are a jazz player and you are in C minor, you are free because you can do a lot of things but when you play free jazz, you are far less free because there are no boundaries."
It is another example of the overlap between Atzmon's music and his political thought. Certainly, Atzmon is not afraid to ask questions. He is true to himself and fearless of criticism. "In the beginning, when I started to say what I'm saying, a lot of political groups tried to cling to me and I had to shake them all out because once you start to work with them you have to fit into an agenda. I don't want to do anything with the left wing. I don't want to do anything with the right wing. I don't want to anything with anybody.
"My job as an artist is to look into the mirror and to say what I think and believe. I don't want to start to say what I think and then have to make sure it fits into a political agenda." It is Atzmon's view that, "philosophers, artists, poets, shouldn't fit."
"We are not doing it for power. I don't say, 'vote for me', I don't want you to vote for me. F*ck off. Buy my album if you think I'm good enough, come to my concerts, talk to me, let's have a beer."
We speak at length about many different issues, from philosophy to politics to music. The pertinence of the topics Atzmon speaks on are exemplified when a young women on the table next to us interjects into our conversation.
Atzmon was speaking about multiculturalism. She is a black woman who lives in Germany. She said that her race dictated how easy it was for her to find a flat in certain areas. If she wanted a flat with other black people then it was easy, but to venture outside these areas made it much harder.
Atzmon understands. His drummer is black. "We go to a kebab after the gig and there would be some redneck yobs or whatever and he would go out because he would understand that there was potential conflict."
We have finished our breakfast and with it our conversation. If you can, attend on 18 November. It's a rare chance to see every stage of Atzmon's music in one evening and perhaps what's more, you will be seeing Atzmon live - a phenomena that can never be reproduced onto record because Atzmon is so much more than just his music.

We try to dine out at least once a week. If you have children, you know it is not as relaxing as it used to be when you and your significant other got to go out solo. This is what eating with Ava can look like:
This was our lunch stop at Honky Tonk BBQ in Pilsen We thought she'd behave in the booth. Oh, were we wrong. And yes, one of those pictures is her UNDER the table. I guess she wasn't in the mood for barbecue. She did however like the live music [the musician even played an old-timey country version of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star for her] and the old horse they had in the back, that still worked when you put a quarter in!
I was big fan of one of their pieces of art on the wall … made out of old yardsticks.
Despite Ava's antics, we left with full stomachs and smiles. Next time we'll remember to bring along the ipad. [wink]


text: Imagination 417 Report post Posted May 3, 2016 The unicorn WRAITH Officer had incinerated the letter awhile ago, though she couldn't stop thinking about it. The ambitious mare had a big smile on her face as the small team of mooks and scientists got to work. She didn't know why they couldn't just dump the plague in the water and call it a day, but the eggheads insisted it "must be added gradually". Either way, she knew this was going to be her big break! If she succeeded here, she might even be rewarded! She might even get a name tag! Finally! Recognition she deserved! She couldn't fail, and thus far, they had been practically unopposed! Unnoticed, even! Or so she thought. This underground waterway didn't offer much in the way of protection, however. It was fairly canalized with few places to hide. Something that may or may not work in their favor, but she preferred to get out of here as quickly as possible. Just on the off chance somepony did notice them going in here. It did strike her as a bit odd there weren't more guards, seeing as this water directly went to the caribou royalty... Her supervision cut short by rumbling footsteps coming up behind her, the Officer scoffing as she looked over her shoulder at the 'Elite' operative she was provided. "What is it now, you impertinent buffoon?" she asked of the very large Diamond Dog towering over her. He and his new gadget had been assigned as extra insurance for her operation, though in all honesty she took it as a slight. She didn't need W.R.A.I.T.H.'s lapdog to babysit. She had things well under control! "Dog new pack is ready" he reported, referring to the large crystal pack strapped to his back. The mare seemed unimpressed. Did he even know how to use that thing? A new development of W.R.A.I.T.H.'s R&D department, it was supposed to be some kind of 'magic beam caster' that was originally going to be used as a static post. Instead, they decided to strap the prototype to Dog. "Very well. Stay within earshot. If one of those savages wanders down here you will need to dispose of them..." Dog nodded, and situated himself in a darker nook of the waterway to sit and await further instructions... Or for trouble to start. The spot was shadowed enough to hide him with her darker fur color. While not the stealthiest guy around, perhaps if he held still he could at least surprise potential opponents. Maybe. But until then, he'd just have to wait and fantasize about hitting something. The remainder of the security team, four uniformed mooks sat at the entrance, were just making idle chatter through their respirators. Glorified lookouts, if nothing else. At the very least they could buy some time before Dog was deployed. "What's taking so long?!" she barked at one of the WRAITH scientists, looking up from the canisters they were rigging up. "We're finishing calibrations now... The pressure levels of these containers need to be set to to release the contagion at a rate where it will not be too diluted and will have a better chance of contaminating the water supply as a whole! Of course, if you decided to assist us, we could move this along much-" the stallion was cut off by a fireball square to the torso, singeing his labcoat and knocking him against the far wall. The Officer, he horn steaming, just stifled a chuckle. "You shouldn't make jokes, doctor. Humor is... hurtful... and can ruin lives. Besides, if you're telling me you need my assistance to do your job... All I'm hearing is you admitting you've outlived your usefulness..." Without another word, the scientist limped back to work, leaving the underground waterway itself back to an eerie silence. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Schwab Audiology
We recently had the pleasure of creating the brand for Schwab Audiology. As a native of Aberdeen, Dr. Elizabeth Falk Schwab returned to the area to open her own hearing healthcare clinic. Elizabeth brought us on board to help with designing her logo, stationery items, and print advertising as well as developing her website. When creating the logo, it was important that I avoided the "easy option"

Aaron Tveit, the Broadway actor who played Trip van der Bilt on "Gossip Girl," has landed the role of Enjolras in Universal's "Les Miserables," the studio said Wednesday.
Tveit, who proved his chops in "Hairspray," "Wicked," "Catch Me If You Can" and "next to normal" on Broadway, will play Enjolras, the charismatic and idealistic leader of a group of student revolutionaries.
The role puts Tveit — already a well-regarded stage actor — in one of Hollywood's highest-profile projects. It stars Russell Crowe, Hugh Jackman, Anne Hathaway, Eddie Redmayne and Amanda Seyfried, and is being directed by Tom Hooper, who won the Academy Award for directing "The King's Speech."
Also read: Eddie Redmayne Nabs Marius Role in 'Les Miserables'
William Nicholson ("Gladiator"), Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schonberg wrote the screenplay.
The movie has been set for a Dec. 7 release.
Tveitt is represented by CAA and Elin Flack.

From the Top of this Hill
When Camden Council started on the journey of applying to win London Borough of Culture, we knew that we wanted our bid to be shaped by Camden's communities. Our consultation approach needed to reflect this and found that culture means something different to everybody. You can find some of these answers on the cover of this book, created in collaboration with Camden based poet Polarbear, who used our resident's feedback as inspiration for 'From the Top of this Hill'. Read more....
From the Top of This Hill by Polarbear
From the top of this hill
looking down at the town
I see buildings like people
gathered around
Past the grave stones of heroes
to the world and the few
every shape, size and colour
comes into view
Town houses and tower blocks
stand side by side
Community spaces
Slices of life
I hear language like music
on orchestral tongues
the four corners of earth
represented in songs
I feel history breathing
tradition and pride
overlapping with futures
we're yet to decide
Past the homes of performance
the memories of nights
those crystallised moments
on stage in the lights
The market of colours
the party of foods
the echoes of Amy
the heart in the mood
Everything moving
alive to a beat
the still of the water
reminder to breathe
The laughter from barber shops
hangs in the air
floats out into crowds
the jokes told to share
I see theatre at bus stops
monologues in the park
generations dovetailed
through support of the arts
Trains rumbling past
every bridge is alive
tourists photograph Banksy
while old locals smile
Conversations on benches
family and friends
first kisses on corners
passion and trends
It has welcomed me in
made me home from the start
to me, Camden is people
Camden is heart

The Bombchu is a clockwork bomb shaped like a mouse that appears in The Legend of Zelda series. Unlike other bombs, it automatically travels in a direction without having to be thrown.
Legend of Zelda series
Ocarina of Time
The bombchus are first introduced in this game but they are usually limited. Link can only hold 50. Some are found in chests but the more guaranteed methods are
- There is a Bombchu Shop open at night in the Back Alley of Castle Town, although their stock is limited
- The Bombchu Bowling Alley can give out Bombchu as one of the random prizes Link wins
- After gathering 40 Gold Skulltula Tokens, Link can receive some Bombchu from the fourth son at the House of Skulltula in Kakariko Village.
- Bombchu can be bought from the Carpet Merchant in the Haunted Wasteland. He sells packs of 10 Bombchu for 200 Rupees
Majora's Mask
In this game, they are more easily obtainable at the Bomb shop at a rate of 10 for 40 rupees though there's a max of 40 in this game. Bombchus can also be collected in chests in hidden caves that can be revealed with explosions.
Oracle games
In these games, they function differently in that they home in on their target. They travel in a straight line if they have no target. They can only be unlocked if the two games are linked through the Subrosian Secret or the Troy Secret. Syrup will then sell them at a rate of 100 rupees for 5 Bombchu with a cap of 99.
Phantom Hourglass
The bombchus in this game are found in the Goron Temple. Link can only carry 10 initially but after two more bags, he has a max of 30. Their function has massively changed in this entry, with them following a path drawn by Link. The bombchus can go through small holes but they will explode if they come in contact with anything else. While the Bombchu us active, the player can still move. The bombchus also travel slower than before.
Hyrule Warriors
These bombs appear in the Eldin Caves stage where players guide giant versions of them to blow up giant rocks and pillars to make pathways for their forces.
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U
These appear as an explosive item. Bombchus act similarly to Hotheads in that they stick to a platform, trying to hit an opponent and explode. After several seconds, the bombchus will glow and explode on its own if no opponent touches it.
Trophy Description
These mouse-shaped bombs crawl on the ground, up walls, and even along ceilings. If you toss one, it will scurry along until it hits an opponent and explodes. They won't blow up you or your friends—so user friendly! They will blow up if struck, though, so be careful.

I was a Religion major...and it has served me well both personally and professionally. I entered Dartmouth with advanced placement credits in Math and Physics but took Rel. 1 as an elective freshman year and was hooked on religion as a study of cultures, people and different ways of thinking. I have worked in the investment business for most of my career and some have asked me how religion prepared me for this career. Beyond the understanding of people and culture and assimilating and synthesizing information, attempting to understand religious concepts stretched my mind to make other more traditional studies easier. When others in business school had difficulties with mathematical formulas and options pricing theory I told them it was nothing compared with trying to understand Kierkegaard's Leap of Faith!

A simple PHP script
If PHP provided only the capability of producing what is essentially static HTML by means of print statements, it wouldn't be very useful. PHP's power is that it generates dynamic pages: output that can vary from one invocation of a script to the next.The script described in this section shows a simple example of this capability. It's still relatively short, but a bit more substantial than the previous examples. It shows how easily you can access a MySQL database from PHP and use the results of a query in a Web page.The script forms a simple basis for a home page for the Historical League Web site.As we go on, we'll make the script a bit more elaborate, but for now all it does is display a short welcome message and a count of the current League membership:
  <title>U.S. Historical League</title>
Welcome to the U.S. Historical League Web Site.
<?php # USHL home page try { $dbh = new PDO("mysql:host=localhost;dbname=sampdb", "sampadm", "secret"); $dbh->setAttribute (PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION); $sth = $dbh->query ("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM member"); $count = $sth->fetchColumn (0);print ("
The League currently has $count members.
"); $dbh = NULL; # close connection}catch (PDOException $e) { } # empty handler (catch but ignore errors)?>
The welcome message is just static text, so it's easiest to write it as literal HTML.The membership count, on the other hand, is dynamic and changes over time, so it must be determined at execution time by querying the member table in the sampdb database.To perform that task, the code within the opening and closing script tags follows these steps:
1. Opens a connection to the MySQL server and makes the sampdb database the default database.
2. Enables exceptions for subsequent PDO calls so that errors can be caught easily without testing for them explicitly.
3. Sends a query to the server to determine how many members the Historical League has at the moment (assessed as the number of rows in the member table).
4. Uses the query result to construct a message containing the membership count.
5. Closes the connection to the MySQL server.
The script just shown can be found as the file named index.php in the phpapi/ushl directory of the sampdb distribution. Change the connection parameters as necessary, install a copy of the script as index.php in the ushl directory of your Web server's document tree, and request it from your browser using either of these URLs (changing the hostname and pathname as appropriate for your own Web server):
Let's break down the script into pieces to see how it works.The first step is to connect to the server:
$dbh = new PDO("mysql:host=localhost;dbname=sampdb", "sampadm", "secret");
new PDO() invokes the constructor for the PDO class.The constructor attempts to connect to the database server and raises an exception if it fails. Otherwise, it returns a PDO object that serves as a database handle. The first argument to new PDO() is a string called a "data source name."The second and third arguments are the username and password to use for connecting to the server, sampadm and secret.The DSN string tells PDO which driver to use, followed by driverspecific parameters. For MySQL, the driver name is mysql, and the parameters are the host where the server is running and the database to select as the default database.The DSN shown indicates that the MySQL server host and default database are localhost and sampdb. Both parameters following the colon are optional.The default value for host is localhost, so this parameter actually could have been omitted. If you omit dbname, no default database is selected. (The DSN can take other forms, and other parameters are allowed. For details, see Appendix I [online].) Perhaps it makes you nervous that the username and password are embedded in the script for all to see.And, indeed, it should. It's true that the name and password don't appear in the resulting Web page that is sent to the client, because the script's contents are replaced by its output. Nevertheless, if the Web server becomes misconfigured somehow and fails to recognize that your script needs to be processed by PHP, it will send the script as plain text, which exposes the connection parameters. The database handle returned by new PDO() becomes the means for further interaction with the MySQL server, such as issuing SQL statements to be executed.After a successful connection, the default error mode for PDO calls is to fail silently, which requires that you check for errors explicitly.To make it easier to handle problems, the script enables exceptions for PDO errors:
$dbh->setAttribute (PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
With exceptions enabled, a try/catch construct can be used to "route" errors to an exception handler without explicit tests. If you don't use try/catch, exceptions terminate your script. The script next sends the member-counting query to the server by invoking the database handle's query() method, and then extracts and displays the result:
$sth = $dbh->query ("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM member"); $count = $sth->fetchColumn (0); print ("
The League currently has $count members.
");
The query() method sends the query to the server to be executed. Note that the query string contains no terminating semicolon character or \g or \G sequence, in contrast to the way you issue statements from within the mysql program. query() is used for statements that return rows. (Use a different method, exec(), for statements that modify rows.) query() returns a PDOStatement object that is a statement handle for manipulating the result set. For the query shown, the result set consists of a single row with a single column value representing the membership count.The script invokes the $sth object's fetchColumn() method to fetch the row and extract the first column (column 0). After printing the count, the script closes the connection to the server by setting the database handle to NULL.This is optional. If you don't close the connection, PHP closes it when the script terminates. The code for interacting with MySQL occurs within a try block so that any exception raised for an error can be caught and handled by the corresponding catch block. The connection attempt raises an exception automatically if it fails, and the setAttribute() call enables exceptions for any subsequent PDO calls that fail.The catch block in the example is empty, so its effect is to trap and ignore errors.The script writes no message for an error because printing the membership count is ancillary to the greeting presented by the home page.

Most sports fans would agree that, when it comes to all-star games and the festivities associated with them, Major League Baseball puts the other professional sports leagues to shame.
But that's not saying much.
When you break it down, the other leagues aren't doing a whole lot to overtake MLB in this category.
The NFL's Pro Bowl is a joke. If it's before the Super Bowl, you are missing the best players from the league's two best teams. If it's after the Super Bowl, no one cares because, well, it's after the Super Bowl. Hell, they almost cancelled the damn game in the last few months!
The NBA used to have an impressive All-Star Weekend. Used to. I remember when the Slam Dunk Contest had the league's best players competing year-in and year-out. These guys wanted to win. Back before Vince Carter was a salary-cap albatross, he absolutely tore the place down. Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan also found the time to compete – and win – this once-wonderful competition. Now, the contest is filled with a bunch of bench players who can jump but can't actually play a lick of basketball. And, believe it or not, the All-Star Game itself features less defense than a typical regular season NBA game.
The NHL's All-Star Game is…well, to be honest, I can't stand hockey. When they went on strike, I realized I didn't miss the NHL. Maybe the NHL has an amazing All-Star Weekend. Who cares? It's hockey.
That brings us to Major League Baseball's All-Star Game. As I said before, this is the best All-Star Game in professional sports. But it could be better.
With that being said, here are a few suggestions that, in my opinion, would make MLB's Midsummer Classic even better:
1) Make the Futures Game a bigger part of the festivities.
This little four-day break from the grind of the regular season is supposed to be an exhibition – a time to celebrate the season thus far and a chance to showcase the best of the best…and Pablo Sandoval. Well, if it's an exhibition and a showcase, then why not shine a little more light on this game, which selects the best players from all minor league levels? First of all, this game draws the short straw by being broadcast on the Sunday before the ASG, when there are still major league games being played. If you were lucky enough to tune in to the dominating performance by Team USA on Sunday night, you were able to see some of the pitchers and hitters that will soon become household names. I know this will never replace the Homerun Derby as the biggest event before the game itself, but it is by far the best display of actual baseball talent before the game.
2) Fix the Homerun Derby.First of all, no captains. That's just stupid. Especially when one of the captains has been on the DL for a good chunk of the season and cannot even participate in the ASG itself. Instead, why not just take the top four homerun hitters from each league's roster? Taking the guys who have hit the most homeruns in that given year seems to make sense, right? Right. So let's move on. Next, the winner should be the guy who hits the most homeruns over the course of the entire contest. A few years ago, Justin Morneau "won" the Derby, but no one remembers that. Everyone remembers Josh Hamilton hitting 28 homers in the first round. Maybe Hamilton tired himself out with that first round. Should he have stopped at 15 and saved something for the final round? No! The Homerun Derby is supposed to be entertaining, so let's do whatever we can to keep it that way. Finally, why not add a little twist to the Derby? College baseball's homerun derby features a bonus ball (similar to the last ball in each rack of the NBA's Three-Point Shootout), so why not add that? Or maybe they could have special "zones" that are worth two homeruns? When Sammy Sosa was wowing the crowd at Miller Park in 2002 with his shots off of Bernie's slide or when Prince was knocking them into the fountain in K.C., why not give them a bonus? I'm sure I could think of more changes for the Derby, but I'll move on for now.
3) Change the roster selection process.
I think this year's roster fiasco proved that fans just don't know what they're doing. Sometimes, the managers struggle with this, too. I know the fan vote will never be taken away, but it should be. Derek Jeter wouldn't have been good enough to start in the Futures Game, let alone the ASG. And don't even get me started on Kung Fu Sandoval. Anyway, since the fan vote has no chance of changing, let's look at the other elements of the roster selection process. Personally, I think the players might do the best job in selecting the most-deserving participants for the ASG. So why do they need to vote by the end of May? When the players selected Lance Lynn as an all-star this year, he was still pitching really well. In that pesky month after the players voted, the wheels fell off for Lynn, yet he still made it ahead of Zack Greinke. So let's push back the deadline for the players to vote so their selections accurately reflect as much of the season as possible. Also, instead of just having the manager of each All-Star Team select players, why not have all of the managers in each league vote? It just makes sense to include as many voices as possible in this process.
4) Bring in some fun announcers.I'm stealing this one from Manny Parra (@MannyParra26), who tweeted that the ASG should have All-Star announcers. I completely agree. Now, I must admit that I may be a bit biased for two reasons. One: I hate Joe Buck. Always have. Always will. Two: If we're talking about All-Star announcers, don't you think our very own Bob Uecker would be in the running? As Parra tweeted, "Anyone else think that the All-Star game should be announced by Uecker, and Skully? Would make sense…All-Star Announcers." Bob Uecker and Vin Scully announcing the ASG together? Sign me up, please.
5) The Managers should be from this season's best team in each league.
If the game is supposed to matter, then why do we have the managers from last year's World Series? This makes absolutely no sense to me. And this year, it has gone to new levels with the retired Tony LaRussa taking the reigns for the NL. (Ed. Note: I know the National League won 8-0, but that doesn't make it any less ridiculous that a retired guy is managing in a game that is supposed to matter.) Why in the world is a guy who is no longer managing having an impact on home-field advantage for the World Series? This doesn't seem like a tough change, so make it happen, Bud.
6) Quit having the game determine home-field advantage for the World Series.
This is the biggest change that needs to be made. There is no way that a game being played in July should have a direct impact on the World Series. Remember, this rule was put into place because the 2002 ASG ended in a tie. Because we couldn't live in a world where the ASG ended in a tie, Bud Selig decided that he would take this exhibition game and have it play a pivotal role in the freaking World Series! In that very game that ended in a tie, I remember Torii Hunter making a leaping catch at the wall to rob Barry Bonds of a homerun. For the most part, the players were always trying, so why change it? Seriously, this needs to stop. Let's just let this exhibition game remain an exhibition.
These are only a few changes that I think would help the overall All-Star experience for Major League Baseball. As is, the MLB All-Star Game is the best of the best in professional sports. But that doesn't mean that they should stand pat.
With a few simple changes, Major League Baseball could make the Midsummer Classic a true classic.

What started as a personal journey of a doctor turned patient morphed into a way to share what's universal in dealing with cancer, in my case a nasty leukemia (CLL), a failed transplant and a successful clinical trial. The telling of my journey has become a journey to teach about CLL, related blood issues and all cancers. Please visit our new website http://cllsociety.org for the latest news and information.

I would love if there was an option that provided a high probability of a cure even if it was fairly toxic such as existing therapy for testicular cancer and others. Go through the hell of chemo and be done with it, except of course for the constant looking over your shoulder to see if our nemesis is returning and the very real late risk of a secondary cancer, especially another blood cancer including MDS (myelodysplastic syndrome) always looming. Still it's desirable not to need to stay on meds forever. The possibility of the cancer escaping control or late yet unknown side effects is too high and we are living with cancer, not post cancer.
What we have now (outside of clinical trials) is the worst of both worlds, namely toxic therapies that hold no promise of cure (except for the transplant lottery). Gentle long term control is clearly a much preferable and believable possibility based on the very early but promising results with the new kinase inhibitors and the BCR blockers. That is why we are both glad that we traveled to OSU for ibrutinib and others may feel the same for their choices of GS-1101 and different new pathway blockers.
Still we must insist that the researchers don't take their feet off the accelerator. We are still far from home and for too many of us, the hour is getting late. Control is a great start and a big move forward. I am happy and lucky and extraordinarily grateful to be part of that early trial cohort. Maybe it is enough. Maybe there is a magic cocktail out there yet to be proven that will kill the beast once and for all. Maybe when the disease is a long deep remission, it then will be possible to drive a stake through its heart with new chemo or CAR-T or some yet to be discovered chemical.
What I do know for sure is that I want to live enough years to be part of the proof that our control paradigm has the legs for a long long long hassle free remission or better yet, to see and experience all of us crossing the finishing line of a cure.
We are moving in the right direction but I wish it was faster. I want a near future in which we will have the best of both worlds. a low toxicity, highly curative therapy.

Lose Weight Very Fast Announces New Documentary Project
Lose Weight Very Fast is a new website for information sharing in the health and wellness community, a place where people can share knowledge and exchange information about healthy weight loss with each other.
Hallandale, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 11/20/2015 -- Lose Weight Very Fast is a new website directed people who wish to lose weight and get healthy. The website provides useful information, chronicles, and tips for people who want to "lose weight very fast." The site has mostly utilized the articles and "ask the doctor" type of format to provide up-to-date information to their patrons. However, the owners want to try something new by creating a documentary based on the weekly activities of someone who has committed to gastric sleeve surgery.
"A friend of mine was discussing surgical options, having struggled with weight all his life," says owner and chief blogger, Healthy Beast. "I figured it was a fantastic way to show people the ups and downs of surgical methods, along with, the efficacy of those methods. Will he lose the weight he was promised? Will he continue to struggle with the weight? I mean, this is a common option today that's used by many doctors to treat obesity so why not explore it?"
The documentary will be posted to the website in order to complement the catalog of materials currently being offered. Lose Weight Very Fast is committed to providing the best and most recent information, updated daily, so that readers are informed of the very latest in health and weight loss news. The owners felt that the documentary will help those who are going back and forth with the idea of surgery, and hopefully enable them to make a more informed decision. The documentary is shift from the typical articles and recipes they currently provide, but an addition they hope will complement the information they currently post with something that is less clinical and more human.
"We're very fortunate to have the support of loseweightveryfast.com," says Eric Glass. "They have really tried to support us in getting the right information to the public so that people have healthy options and products available to them. This documentary should be interesting to say the least."
The documentary is sponsored by Totally Products in conjunction with Lose Weight Very Fast and is available by clicking the link below: http://www.loseweightveryfast.com/gastric-sleeve-is-it-safe-loseweightveryfast-com-will-reveal-the-hidden-truth/
