I switched to Vienna from Miro and I like it MUCH better. It has intuitive keyboard shortcuts that Miro completely lacks and it does RSS text, audio, video, and podcasts and videocasts in a much more user friendly GUI. Thanks for making this available for free.
I have had problems with the Download button with videos. With audio content, it works fine. I can click Open when it finishes downloading and it opens in my audio player, MplayerX. But with videos, Open doesn't work. When I go to open the file manually, I find it has no extension so I have to add it to get it to play. When I click the link on the bottom left, 'This article contains an enclosed file', it attempts to open it in my browser and then I get the download dialog in the browser. This is more convenient but still not what's expected. It would be better to have a link that opens the file in the default player automatically.
Download option is buggy

SCC COVID-19 updates
April is Community College Month, and Southeast Community College recognized some outstanding students during a recent ceremony.
Four students representing SCC's three campuses each were presented $400 scholarships on April 16 by the College and Community Service Organization.
Lisa Cerveny, a Business Administration student from the Beatrice Campus; Tinh Doan, an Electrical/Electromechanical Technology student from the Milford Campus; Luis Quiroz, an Academic Transfer student from the Lincoln Campus; and Sheryl Kenworthy, a Medical Laboratory Technology student from the Lincoln Campus, were awarded. Doan was unable to attend the ceremony.
Selection criteria included a cumulative grade-point average of 3.0 or higher, complete 24 quarter credit hours, declare their program of study, and be a non-traditional aged student. They also must submit an essay about their career goals and objectives.
"I was really excited about the scholarship," Kenworthy said. "Paying for college is kind of a struggle. I have a son with a chronic illness, and any help I can get for school is wonderful."
Kenworthy said she picked SCC because she wanted a college with smaller classes and more student-instructor interaction. When she finishes her degree next year, she will transfer to a four-year college, where she will further her education. She wants to be a medical laboratory scientist.
She would like to ultimately come back to SCC and give back to the College.
"I would like to teach at Southeast Community College in the lab tech department," she said.
Quiroz said it was important to him that his family knows it's never too late to go back to school and finish your education. He started in college years ago, but never finished.
"I am very grateful," Quiroz said about the scholarship. "It's a humbling experience, and the teachers here recognize there are everyday students with struggles."
The brunch and awards ceremony took place at Southeast Community College's Lincoln Campus. SCC Educational Foundation Associate Director Jeanette Volker spoke about "paying it forward."

Lucky numbers is a lottery game. It does not require skills like most of the challenge games. 10 numbers are revealed at the right hand side of the game and you must make some picks at the left hand side to win money.
1. You win based on luck. No skill needed.
2. There are five packages namely: starter, trader, premium, tycoon and titans. You stake a flat amount (₽1) to make some picks and win certain.
3. You can win up to ₽100,000.00
4. You can play many times.
5. Only one player is needed in this game. It is not a challenge game.
The sample game on the picture is a trader package where the player is expected to make just 3 picks to win ₽100. Green colour is correct while red is wrong.

This past weekened I celebrated a great accomplishment in my life. I performed in Danceworks 2011 with the student performing ensemble here at school and had the opportunity to not only perform, but to rehearsal assist a piece in the show, choreograph a piece in the show, and set a ballet variation from the Labanotation score. This weekend and this morning I've received so much positive feedback on campus from my peers, my professors, and administrators on campus. I can't begin to express the overwhelming feelings of love and joy I've had.
(And my name was on a freakin' poster! how badass is that?!)
This week is also the week of Thanksgiving break. Getting myself to classes and to do homework has been a bit problematic. I just want to sit around and enjoy the beauty that I am experiencing the afterglow of while drinking tea and baking wonderful things.
Or maybe go tree climbing.
Have I mentioned lately how much I love the Fall?
This is the first year ever that I'm not going to be home for Thanksgiving. At first I was sad that I wouldn't be going home, watching Iron Man with the whole family, and putting up the Christmas tree on Thursday, but I've been invited so many places Thursday that it just reaffirms what a sense of community I've built here in Atlanta. It doesn't make up for not going home, but I did get to see my parents this past weekend, and I can get a head start on my finals and all those icky things.
I'm not sure where I'll be going on Thursday as of yet, but wherever I go I'll be certain to bring a gift of something to contribute to the table. Namely, something gluten-free. My sister has been on this gluten free wagon for a while and tells me how wonderful her body feels from it, so I'm going to take this initiative to try a gluten free stuffing (found here) and a gluten free pie (here). Won't my sister bear be proud?! I certainly hope so! (…well depending on how it turns out)
Here's to giving many, many thanks for all the wonderfulness that makes me almost burst at the seams in my life.
big, big love.

Treatment on the fly: Mobile units help hospitals boost surge capacity
Portable "MASH-likeâ€ï¿½ hospital units are helping communities across the country improve their ability to respond to disasters and other events requiring extra capacity.
Emergency physician Roy Alson, MD, vividly remembers getting the call to mobilize his team in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. As the commander of a federal disaster medical assistance team (DMAT) in North Carolina, Dr. Alson was anxious to offer assistance to the hurricane's victims, and his team was well equipped to do so with a portable hospital unit designed to handle overflow during emergencies.
"My unit was deployed to Gulfport, Miss., to deal with massive overflow in the ER of Gulfport Memorial Hospital," said Dr. Alson, who is now the medical director of North Carolina's Emergency Medical Response System. Prior to this post, he spent 18 years leading DMATs as a participant in the National Disaster Medical System (NDMS), the federally coordinated group that helps states and localities deal with the impact of major peacetime disasters.
"Gulfport Memorial normally saw between 100 and 150 patients a day, and during the aftermath of Katrina they were dealing with an excess of 500 patients a day," Dr. Alson explained. "We were able to decompress the ER so that its staff could concentrate on urgent and critical patients, while we took the less urgent patients outside to our mobile hospital." The portable unit used by Dr. Alson's team was assembled outside of the ER within a couple of hours.
Inflatable versus assembly required
Portable "MASH-like" hospital units are helping communities across the country improve their ability to respond to disasters and other events requiring extra capacity. Depending on the design, the units either inflate within minutes or can be assembled manually over several hours.
Portable medical treatment facilities typically are deployed through DMATs, local offshoots of the Department of Health and Human Services' NDMS. DMATs are staffed by volunteer medical professionals, including hospitalists, as well as paraprofessionals and administrative crews, which provide emergency medical care and triage in their own state and neighboring areas.
The main benefit of inflatable hospitals, in contrast to units requiring assembly, is rapid deployment, said Tom Grace, RN, PhD, president of the Delaware Valley Healthcare Council. "With the inflatable tent you can get into service faster, and our mission is to support hospitals between the time when an event occurs and when federal response is able to acknowledge the event," he explained. The Southeastern Pennsylvania Specialized Medical Response, which Dr. Grace manages, recently inflated its portable hospital tent in a record 14 minutes during an exercise at the Valley Forge Convention Center in King of Prussia, Pa.
However, rigid, assembly-required modular hospital systems also have benefits, according to Christopher Lake, former director of emergency preparedness for the Nevada Hospital Association.
"Lightweight (inflatable) tent-like structures are designed to set up quickly and stay up for about three days," said Mr. Lake. "They can be set up inside a facility such as a convention center. If they're set up outside, they don't do well in rain or sleet or snow."
Today, Mr. Lake manages California's disaster response efforts as an employee of BLU-MED, a mobile hospital distributor. During his stint with the Nevada Hospital Association, Mr. Lake took a 200-bed field hospital to Gulfport, Miss., after Hurricane Katrina. The field hospital, which was functional for 69 days, replaced a local hospital that was temporarily shut down because of mold problems. "We had 72 hours from the time we got called to the time the field hospital had to be transported, set, up, stocked and functional," explained Mr. Lake.
Community resource
In addition to disasters and potential pandemics, mobile units also make it easier for hospitals to help during large public events. For instance, Louisville, Ky., used a mobile unit at the Ironman Games in summer 2007. Louisville's unit can be set up in less than seven minutes and can accommodate 20 patients at a time. It cost $256,000 and was funded by the Kentucky Department for Public Health and the Kentucky Hospital Association, according to Louisville EMS director Neal Richmond, MD. Dr. Richmond said that his team typically gets help very quickly to the injured or sick but that the portable hospital "makes it possible to rapidly stabilize and initiate treatment of large numbers of patients on site without flooding the 911 system or area hospitals."
Other states that have portable units up and running include the following
- North Carolina has eight mobile units that are owned by the state's eight trauma centers (funded by a federal Health Resources Services Administration grant) and manned by State Medical Assistance Team (SMAT) volunteers. If deployed simultaneously in the same location, the eight units can be configured into a 400-bed field hospital. "So far, we haven't had the need to do that," said Dr. Alson. "The beauty of this system is that it's scalable. Components can be pulled off for small events or added for larger ones. For instance, when we responded to a tornado in eastern North Carolina, we didn't need to set up all 50 beds; we didn't even need to hold patients. We just used the mobile unit as a triage area."
- South Carolina's six mobile medical facilities represent a fairly typical configuration. Each has two showers, two toilets, and a sink with three basins. Each unit has a 2,000-gallon potable water system and a 40-gallon water heater. A portable generator helps power heating, air conditioning, the water heater and lighting. Each unit houses 50 cots complete with an intravenous line pole, foam mattress and bed linens. "Mostly, we expect to use these units for triage and minor care in the event that an emergency room is damaged in a disaster," said Jim Beasley, public information director for the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control.

text: The drunk Russian had me in a neck-lock. 'Rossia, davai Rossia!!' he was shouting. Go, Russia. And please get off me. It's this image of an aggressive, out of control Russian nationalism that is being pushed by western leaders as being so dangerous at the moment: a nationalism which they say is being stoked by President Vladimir Putin, used to reconquer Crimea without a fight, to partition Ukraine, and soon perhaps to destabilise one of the Baltic states too. Back to the drunk Russian: he had me in a neck-lock because we were trying to film the Russian border from the Estonian town of Narva. He didn't like outsiders, and thought we were American. And his suspicions of us play directly into an argument increasingly used in the west as to why Putin can't be trusted in the Baltic states. Narva sits on the Estonian side of the border, yet the population is almost entirely Russian. The NATO argument goes that the Russians might make up a reason to invade Estonia – like, say, protecting the Russians in Narva – just to see if NATO has the courage of its convictions. So Estonia, a tiny little country which could fit nearly 400 times into Russia, has accepted a NATO 'fast-response' force it can shelter behind. On February 24, Estonia's national day, a whole load of NATO troops will parade around in the main square in Narva to celebrate the country's independence. They will do so no more than 300 metres from the Russian territory. But what NATO calls defiance, Russia says is a direct provocation. And that's because the most cursory investigation of NATO's claims of Russian intent in Estonia doesn't seem to stand up to much scrutiny. While 98 per cent of Narva is Russian speaking, they all have European passports. The deputy mayor says that they look to Brussels to sort out their problems – which, he says, are entirely non-military and much more social. He wants the European Union to fund Russian language classes for children in the town because (in his opinion) the Estonian government in Tallinn doesn't want to. He doesn't look to Moscow to sort anything out. When I ask him if he sees NATO's actions as being provocative he'd rather not answer. But it doesn't take much working out that if you want a Russian minority in a European country to feel loved by Europe then perhaps cultural funding might be a better way of doing it than a NATO expeditionary force. Back in London I meet Rein Mullerson, who was an aide to President Gorbachev, and who drafted the paperwork which gave Estonia its independence. Which seems to me to make him fairly important in Estonia's modern history, as he naturally values Estonia's freedom and also understands how Moscow works. And he couldn't be more scathing about NATO and its arguments. Estonia, he says, isn't the same as Ukraine or Georgia, simply because it's already in NATO, and there's no way on earth that Russia will attack a NATO member – and he agrees with the deputy mayor of Narva that the Russians there don't look to Moscow to solve their problems. And yes, it's provocative to Russia – but he hopes, not provocative enough to prompt Moscow to retaliate. But the point is that he believes that rather than reacting to a problem, NATO is helping create one.

February has been a busy month full of festivals and celebrations as well as continuing to decorate our home. We are still halfway through renovating the bathroom, our friend fitted a new bathroom suite for us (which looks amazing) Gavin has finished the tiling of the walls, we also finished painting the one wall and glossing the skirting boards and cupboards. Only a few more bits to do such as putting in the new towel radiator and laying the flooring.
Start of the month we celebrated our first Valentines Day in our own home, instead of going out to a fancy restaurant we thought we'd make the most of owning our own home and decided to stay in and cook. We decided the lazy way and bought an M&S meal deal for £20 which was a bargain. The meal deal included a starter, a main course, dessert, chocolates and wine.Gavin bought me some lovely flowers and a HUUUGE box of milk tray. In return I gave Gavin a handmade chocolate box bouquet full of Galaxy and Haribo.
We also celebrated pancake day, we bought the ready made pancake mix where you just add milk. It was my first ever go at making pancakes, my first one ended up in a big mess but in the end they turned out well and I was happy with my pancakes. We had several toppings to choose from including golden syrup, strawberry sauce and classic sugar and lemon.
Gavin missed out on Chinese New Year as I ended up going to watch Psychic Sally: On the Road with my mum at Southampton Guildhall, going out for dinner beforehand to a Chinese Restaurant in Southampton City Centre. We chose to have the self- service buffet which we really enjoyed. When we paid we both received a fortune cookie. My fortune read: To retain friendship is to be tolerant, therefore it is time for you to forgive one of your friends mistakes.
What sort of things did you get up to for Valentines Day, Pancake Day and Chinese New Year?
Our Hallway
Another year comes and goes but for Alex and I it's project refurb with our house. 2015 will be our first whole year together in our new home. We hope to be achieving a lot to help make our home more comfortable. This year we hope to have the hallway/landing, bathroom, dining room and lounge completely finished. Anything else (namely the garden will be a bonus!).
Our hallways is 99.99% done!
Our first area we focused on was the hallway/landing. We thought this would be a good place to start considering you enter and leave the house and get access to the other rooms within the house. So if we made this more suitable to our taste (basically freshen it up) it would make it feel more 'homely'. It's made such a difference and we're please with the results considering we did a touchup. Thanks to Alex's Sister (Jo) for helping us with the painting. We used paint from B&Q in their Colours range called Soft Almond. – I appreciate photos are hard to see the true colour, but it's slightly warmer than magnolia. We then went for the refresh of using white gloss on the banisters and skirting board. This was the most messy and tedious job of all. Especially having to bring the banisters back to wood after 4-5 coats of gloss.
We still have a couple of jobs left and that is to install carpets up the stairs and top of the landing area. (for the mean time we have an off cut of carpet for the landing). Also I want to get round to building my own bespoke coat hanger rail along the wall. – a job for the warmer months.
Here's the before photos – November 2014
and here's the after photos
hallway with laminate flooring, mirrors came from the range and the light fitting came from B&Q.
As you can see the stairs is what is left for us to carpet. We'll do this early this year.
View from the stairs.
As you can see here that you'll agree it looks a lot more brighter throughout. We also need sand down the banister hand rail and apply top coat to varnish it again.
upstairs, you can see we installed a new radiator to the left, and also grabbed a free offcut of carpet to use a runner for the time being until we get it carpeted.
Stay tuned for updated to this page for when we get it carpeted. We're also looking into getting the doors replaced so we haven't spent the time to gloss these.
Hopefully in the next week we can show you the transformation of the bathroom that I've been working on.

All sparks extinguished.
Swallowed by brutal oceans.
Corpses by the shoreline.
A few of many.
They have names
andt the ache of hope abandoned
is borne by their coffin bearers.
We will weave our fictions,
cast the blame upon
vessels, rebels and smugglers,
upon dogmatic beliefs
and regional power struggles.
Extricate ourselves from blame
as we play an insidious game
"of lesser evils".
Our hypocrisies
are enshrined in anthems
of freedom and compassion
sung mindlessly by millions
within nations built upon
theft and genocide.
Where euphemisms mask and offend
the blood spilt to the ground
in a ever conveniently distant past.
Yet beyond the dictates of
constructs long engraved ,
Do we all not come into being
shrouded by veils of ignorance?
Unknowing of our fate,
Of the borders we inherit,
Of our wealth or deprivations,
Of the costs or dividends
of a history of violence.
Only the fortunate forget this.
Time after time,
We are arrested into attention
when the cold truth of our collective brutality,
absent from our manicured vision,
is brought before us.
As little Aylan was.
Washed upon that Kurdish coastline,
a shell of lost possibility,
stripped by our lack of moral imagination.
Yet it is in this tragic lucidity,
in the pith of our outrage,
in the surge of our compassion
that opportunities lie in wait.

Beautiful, safe cap from Samshield. The new Miss Shield cap.
The exterior of the Samshield Shadowmatt helmet is made of polycarbonate, a material that is used for high-end motorcycle helmets, among other things. The helmet is covered with a matte anti-scratch paint layer. The inner shell is made of variable density polystyrene that ensures better drainage of the energy produced in the event of a collision.
The Shadowmatt is available with the dressage chin strap option: this option allows women to wear their hair in a bun without being limited by the helmet's armor. This chin strap is 2.5 cm shorter for more room for the hair bun.
Samshield has a unique size system with 3 sizes of caps and different sizes of linings, so you can later adjust the size of the cap with a different size of inner lining! So you do not have to buy an expensive new cap if you later need a size smaller or larger.
- Helmet size S is suitable for a liner / inner lining from size 52 to 56
- Helmet size M is suitable for a liner / inner lining from size 55 up to and including 58
- Helmet size L is suitable for a liner / inner lining from size 57 up to and including 61

Sizes 57 and 58 are available for both an M scale and an L scale.
- Pay attention! Not all caps are constantly in stock, so keep in mind a delivery time of 1-3 weeks. Do you want to know the current stock before you place your order? Then contact us without obligation.

Gabriel, a Catholic priest, has been called upon the church to investigate a convent where the nuns are rumored to partake in demon worship. Unfortunately, this convent happens to be the very same one where the object of his desires, Anna, has joined. Along with his friend and fellow priest, Hector, as well as two of his parishioners, Gabriel sets out for the convent—only to end up in BIG trouble. It turns out, the nuns aren't just worshipping demons—they're becoming demonic futas, too! And these futas plan on feminizing these two priests and including them in their kinky rituals!Swapped by Demon Futa Nuns invests far more effort (and pages) into characterization and plot development than I would have expected.
This hot and suspenseful erotic short by three bestselling transgender erotica authors Mindy Masters, Lily Fey, and Arya Martin features feminization, gender transformation, femdom, and futanari on female.
This hot and suspenseful erotic short by three bestselling transgender erotica authors Mindy Masters, Lily Fey, and Arya Martin features feminization, gender transformation, femdom, and futanari on female.
Not only does it make the eventual descent into depravity that much more entertaining, but the amount of narrative detail catapults it from taboo to truly blasphemous.
Gabriel and Hector, the pair of Catholic priests sent to investigate the convent are well-developed characters with a shared history. They are pious and dedicated, but Gabriel has flaws that make him easy to relate to. Roderick and Peter are surprisingly well-developed for a pair of side characters we don't expect to survive long, but they have some surprising roles to play.
The first half of the story is all plot, all characterization, setting up the priests and the nuns, and establishing the mystery of the convent. It's clear there's something wrong going on, especially once Gabriel finds the demonic tome in the convent's library, but the story does a nice job of building the mystery. The first real proof of sin that we see is the seduction of young Peter by the Reverend Mother, but once Gabriel witnesses the nuns growing magic penises, calling on Asmodeus as their Master, things escalate quickly. The story gets dark fast, embracing the demonic, and forcing both priests to betray their vows. The occult elements are more than just window dressing too, with the summoning rituals and transformations detailed nicely.
As for the climax, let me leave you three words - Whore of Babylon - and, yeah, that means just about everything you might hope (or fear).

When you think art, you probably think of the traditional paintings on stretched canvas. Of course if you were to expand your mind a bit, you'd acknowledge that there's also sculpture in marble or bronze casts, photography in black and white or chromogenic color prints, and maybe even that there's newfangled media art in video and 35 mm film.
But what about all the other art out there? Well MoMA, being for modern art and all, has a wide range of types of art. And in the modern world, a bunch of art is not on canvas. So let's explore a bit, shall we?
Alighiero Boetti. "Tapestry of the Thousand Longest Rivers of the World" (1976-1982). Embroidery on cotton and linen.
Let's start with a textile, cotton and linen here. It's on fabric but not canvas and it's embroidery not painting. Embroidery and the fiber arts often get lumped into the category of craft or folk art, but this isn't craft, it's art.
foreground: Gerald Summers. "Lounge Chair" (1934). Bent birch plywood with pigmented lacquer.
middleground: Alvar Aalto. "Paimio Chair" (1931-1932). Bent plywood, bent laminated birch, and solid birch.
Next up we have plywood chairs. Some would say that it's a chair, it's furniture, it's obviously a piece of craft. Then again, it's on a wall! It's on a podium! It's in a museum! Does that elevate it to the level of painting or sculpture? Must craft and art be mutually exclusive?
Donald Judd. "Untitled (Stack)" (1967). Lacquer on galvanized iron.
This isn't furniture, it's art. Because it's in a museum, it's a really pretty green color, and it's not obviously a chair. But, um … what is it? You don't just see it, you walk around it, you scooch down to look at it from a different angle, and you treat it like sculpture. But you could set your purse down on it if you weren't so afraid of the guards and gee, wouldn't it look cool as shelves in your living room?
So yes, I sort of hijacked this post into a discussion of art versus craft. As an architect, this question is fairly central to my profession – because where does architecture fit with the two? It's aesthetic and visual, but it's utilitarian and has a purpose. Architecture that is solely concerned with art neglects issues of climate, place, structure, and suitability. Architecture that is solely concerned with craft is nothing more than a building devoid of life and fails to respond to the social, cultural, and visual implications of its existence.
Huh. Eh, whatever. It is what it is, isn't it?

Milam, Texas
The construction trade is fraught with danger. Nearly all construction workers are injured on the job at some point, and some fatally. A recent accident reminds all of us that Texas construction site dangers abound.
A 49-year-old man was working at a construction site off County Road 135 in Milam County near Burlington, TX when he was struck by a falling object. The worker was positioned under a crane when a pulley block broke loose from the crane, striking the man. Three officers with the Texas Highway Patrol were first on the scene, followed shortly by EMS personnel and the Cameron and Burlington Fire Departments.
Initial reports indicate that a cable on the crane pulley system broke loose, causing the block to fall and hit the worker. The man was taken by helicopter to Scott and White Hospital in Temple, where he was treated for undisclosed injuries. Witnesses report that the injured worker was conscious at the scene of the accident.
Falling objects are an all too common cause of on-the-job injuries in Texas. On a construction site, falling objects, from building materials to heavy equipment, are a serious hazard. Injuries related to falling objects include cuts and lacerations, head injuries and broken bones.
The staff and attorneys at Guajardo & Marks hope that the injured worker is well on his way to making a full recovery.

There are 42 Spaniards plying their trade in England's professional divisions. In the equivalent leagues in Spain, just one Englishman can be found.
He is Charlie I'Anson and his decision to chance his luck in Spain after leaving Grimsby Town saw him rewarded with his La Liga debut with Elche last season. Having since joined Real Oviedo on loan until the end of this term, in their quest to haul their way back to the top flight after their recent brush with the abyss, it is fair to say he has taken the road far less travelled in attempts to carve a football career for himself.
I'Anson, or Charlie as he has become known as in Spain, left English football in 2012. It was hardly a culture shock for the Luton-born centre-half, though. He moved to Malaga at the age of seven with his parents and it was only when Nottingham Forest approached him did he return to the UK at the age of 16.
A permanent offer from Forest never materialised but a move to Grimsby Town was soon on the cards and he signed his first professional contract with the club in 2011. The following year, he was offered a new two-year deal by the club but could not agree terms. While he had the opportunity to remain in England, Charlie returned to the country he had spent almost half his life in, not knowing what the future held.
"You never know with football," I'Anson told IBTimes UK. "I had a two-year deal in England on offer and a chance to secure my football with Grimsby but I made my decision [to return to Spain] and it worked out well. It could have gone wrong. Had it, I would have kept working. Nothing would have changed."
Football education spanning two countries
Still speaking with a London twang to his accent despite being fluent in Spanish since the age of eight, Charlie still recognises the merits of having gained his football education in two different countries.
He said: "What I had learned and experienced in England is something I wanted to try and bring back to Spain, to try and mix my game up a little bit and get a bit of both to help my career in the long term.
"When you are younger in Spain, you play on artificial pitches. In England, it's grass, sometimes long grass depending where you are. Little things like that make the difference. Other things like living away from your family and getting up in the morning and having to get on the bus to go to training like when I was at Grimsby, it's all different, but it's your job.
"I've always learned both ways of the game. I've been with managers who don't particularly play a lot of football in training and those that do, but it's all guidance I've used in my career."
Brits abroad? Still a minor affair when it comes to football
I'Anson's career path is a pertinent reminder that movement between England and the rest of Europe in the search of football works both ways.
A quick headcount across the continent reveals the low number of British players who have taken the plunge of straying away from the British Isles. Goalkeepers Luke Steele and Matt Jones have found their top-flight status in Greece and Portugal respectively with Panathinaikos and Belenenses.
Scottish prodigy Ryan Gauld took the admirable step of joining Sporting Lisbon's ranks after outgrowing Dundee United. Chelsea midfielder Josh McEachran has swapped west London for Vitesse Arnhem in the Netherlands for a season, while Ashley Cole and Micah Richards are perhaps the most prominent two examples at Roma and Fiorentina, with Ravel Morrison to join that fraternity when he joins Lazio in the summer.
Having swapped countries and dropped down two tiers to Spain's Segunda B in the space of three years, I'Anson is fully aware of the demands waiting in new territories, particularly for players at a young age. But the defender has taken each challenge on in bullish fashion and insists others in similar positions should not be afraid of taking the same approach.
"One of the big things that people say [when faced with the prospect of playing abroad] is the language, but I don't know about that," I'Anson said. "If you really want to dedicate to football and be a footballer, the language doesn't matter, you will learn that in a year. Especially with all the help you get from the clubs at every level, you can get teachers, and even though you abroad there are players who do speak English and make life a bit easier for you."
A leap of faith to swap countries
But I'Anson does resonate with his fellow players who may feel reluctant over taking the leap.
He said: "It's hard for some players, they come straight out of academies, where, if you have been at a big club, you get everything. You're living a professional life even though you are not at that level yet. You get looked after so well and you start to think you have made it sometimes and you haven't.
"It's a big shame because if and when they are released they think they are not good enough to play football and in my opinion that's wrong. If you've been there, you've been there for a reason, you have something. You have ability, you just have to try."
When Elche were fed an opening game of the season against Barcelona in August 2014, I'Anson could begin to relish the challenge of contending with Lionel Messi and Neymar at the Nou Camp, a far cry from the tussles he experienced as a Mariners defender in the lower echelons of the English game.
Things would not transpire that way, though. While regarded as a future first teamer at the Estadio Manuel Martinez Valero, he joined Segunda side Alarcon before the season had even begun. After appearing sparingly for the Madrid side in Spain's second tier, a move down another level beckoned in January.
A new challenge to endure
The latest step in his career took him to Oviedo, who were almost completely undone by financial despair and political strife, which reached breaking point in 2012. Their tale of how the world united to save one of Spain's oldest clubs was one of the most remarkable stories of 2013, as fans from over 60 countries, former players including Santi Cazorla and Juan Mata and the world's richest man, Mexican telecommunications tycoon Carlos Slim, came together to rescue the club from liquidation.
With a worldwide fan base, a stadium that holds over 30,000 and a ranking of 17<sup>th in La Liga's all-time league table, Oviedo's resurrection has been tipped to continue, with I'Anson hoping to contribute during his stay.
He said: "I been here for over a month now, it is a massive club and I've got to start knuckling down, they are top of the league and I am here to help make sure they are promoted [to Spain's Segunda division].
"They are a club with good players, good fans and are a club that shouldn't be where they currently are. There is a bit more pressure here given what the club has been through, but I think as a footballer that is what you need. Instead of going to a club that isn't fighting for anything or hasn't got the ambition for anything, you want to be at a club who want to go places."
Just five years into his young career, I'Anson has certainly been places. But his mantra has remained strikingly the same and acts as a message to other players who might be hesitant of taking the leap he took.
He said: "A player has to think if they really want to take football on as a job because it's always going to be hard. But football is a big world and you have to be happy with what you get out of it."

Mad Scientist's Final Offer
They're a shouting from the rooftops,
They're just trying to get goosebumps,
They're only practising what they don't know,
They're only travellers within their souls.
They're a wandering in the desert,
Dreaming of cold and clammy weather,
I could keep ten theologians in my basement,
As long as they don't touch my experiments.
But I have no answers for thee,
I've nothing for your majesty,
No cures for your laboratories,
No time to hear your allegories.
They're just trying to be helpful,
They're just trying to make sense of it all,
They're only asking questions of me,
They're only trying to investigate me.
They're using me as an experiment,
Claiming the end from the beginning is a detriment,
I could keep ten theologians in my basement,
As long as they don't touch my experiments,
Or paintings, or chemicals.
But I have no answers for thee,
I've nothing for your majesty,
No cures for your laboratories,
No time to hear your allegories.
But I have no answers for thee,
I've nothing for your majesty,
No cures for your laboratory's sickly mice,
No time to hear your allegories, though I bet they're nice.
Where Are Your Hands
There's a thousand feelings to be felt, but I feel nothing, nothing, nothing, that shadowy sensation of nothing. I am composed of a set of clothes which promenade, masquerade a charade to fool the seas of people who claim that this set of clothes is a really strong person. Meanwhile I'm the gypsy begging for someone to please turn down the silence in my head. Let me feel again. Let me cry. Let me laugh. Let me look into Your beautiful face and find feeling there. Don't be a Prince in shining armor, don't pull the moon and stars from the sky. Let them fall, and crash in disturbing arcs of destruction. Don't even change the stark and dreamless horizon. Just keep me company here. Leave the sun in its jealous sky. Leave reality cold and harsh, as long as I can hold Your warm hands. Don't pretend with me. Just dream with me. I don't need everything to work out perfectly, but I do need You. I'm living like I'm a voice which says the words I mean, and watches them hopelessly as they fall from the air, devoid of the meaning assigned to them. I'm the paintbrush living in a black and white world, wondering, where are Your hands? When can I do what I'm meant to do? When can I unleash colour on a dull insensate world? When I'm at my lowest, full of internal conflict, the appalling lack of emotion, and complete insensitivity to any touch, I wonder to myself, where are Your hands? When the questions come knocking on my door, who really dreams these days anyhow? Who still feels these days anyhow? What poets are still alive and writing these days? I wonder, where are Your hands? When someone is falling down a cave in a landslide of self-doubt or apprehension, I'm there and my hands are empty, ready. My mind is screaming LET ME! LET ME INTERVENE! My virgin hands are wide open, empty, ready, and where are Your hands? Your hands are reinforcing my own. I'm built to save lives, but not alone. I wasn't allowed to recently, but that doesn't stop me. It doesn't deter me in the slightest manner, instead, it fuels my determination. I know who I am, and even more importantly, I know who I'm going to become. When life is dripping from someone's fingertips in red reminders of pain, I want to tell them: Don't be afraid. Fear just isn't worth it. People can slip away from your life, tearing a part of you away. I've learned how to live 150% more when half of you is torn away. Look inside yourself. Face your weaknesses, but don't be blind. Inside of you is a hero, a warrior who WILL survive. I know that because it's something we have in common. Life is silent, musicless, despite my numerous instruments. Where would I be without music? When my fingers on the black and white keys fail to bring back the feeling to my numb composition, where are Your hands? See the pen resting lifeless, drowning in the paper whiteness. Reach down, and save her, give her something to feel. Where are Your hands?
Meet Willie. I love Willie. He was manufactured as part of a collection of trombones, but Willie's a little different. He's an outlier. He claims to be a trumpet. I willie love Willie. Saying that he gives me the willies would be superfluous at this point.
Willie has become a source of my philosophical angst. Is he a trumpet or a trombone? What is the essence of a trombone? What is the substance of a trombone? How does that differ from a trumpet? If we were to define a trombone too hastily, would Willie still be a trombone? Can we be certain that Willie is a trombone? There's been a lot of speculation rooted in fallacy. Here's the word on the streets:
"All trombones have a slide, Willie has a slide. Therefore Willie is a trombone." (Affirming the consequent)
"If you're a trumpet, you must make terrible sounding noises. Willie's being quiet. He's obviously not a trumpet then." (Denying the antecedent)
"Calling Willie a trumpet is just as bad as changing the nomenclature on your compass! Woe to those who exchange north for south!" (Questionable Analogy; this whole entry is a questionable analogy)
"Honestly why are we having this debate? It's absurd to think he's a strumpet! Oh, trumpet, sorry." (Reductio Ad Absurdum)
"Aw, poor little trombone. In my day, they just used to call them confused." (Ad Misericordium; appeal to pity)
"Look, Willie has the slide of a trombone, so he's clearly a trombone." (Suppressed Evidence; The fact that Willie also has the valves of a trumpet remains unmentioned.)
"Willie the trombone is not allowed to sing, because even trumpets sound awfully bad." (Equivocation; changing a word from one part of the argument to the next, using different words interchangeably)
"Telling Willie he ought to be a trombone is reasonable, we can fix him, unless of course he plays the jazz standards." (Red Herring; decoy, unrelated information is made to sound relevant)
"You really can't trust the storeowner's opinion on Willie's identity, he's a guitarist." (Ad Hominem; argument is wrong because of the person arguing it)
"Willie is a trombone! If you argue otherwise, I'll pull out my bagpipes!" (Ad Baculum; appeal to force)
"After all, Willie is either a trumpet or a trombone…" (False Dichotomy; Whatever happened to Tubas? Trumpones? Trombets?)
"Why, almost everyone would agree that Willie is a trombone!" (Ad Populum; appeal to the majority's belief)
"Well, Miles Davis says Willie's not a trumpet, so I would agree." (Ad Verecundiam; Appeal to authority)
"If we accept Willie as a trumpet, soon our trombones will all turn into bagpipes! The world will end!" (Slippery Slope)
Having played trumpet my whole life, I was disarmed one night when on a stage, I saw a trombone, and wanted to play it so badly. Oh Willie, Why must thou give me the willies? I don't play trombone. I play trumpet. Willie needs a more versatile instrumentalist than me I think. This is a trumpet I'll listen to, but I will not play. It's a matter of will.
Personally, I just want to hear Willie sing. We'll really never know what type of music Willie can make if all we do is sit around speculating about what type of instrument he is. Willie's more that what you see. Let's let him sing. Let's free him to make the music which he truly wants to make. If we're the ones calling it a choice, let's let him decide. I just want to hear Willie sing.

"MEMS: Algorithm could replace touch screens with MEMS control"
A new type of MEMS-based user interface enables 12 different device control functions while also eliminating expensive touch screens. Instead, a tri-axis accelerometer developed by Kionix Inc. (Ithica, N.Y.) uses embedded algorithms to detect single- or double-taps on the six faces of a consumer electronic device. For instance, a single front tap could silence a ringing phone or a double tap could send it to voice mail, eliminating the need for an expensive touch screen. For touch screen phones and music players, the tap-detection algorithms embedded in the Kionix accelerometer could also eliminated the need for a menu bar, instead allowing up to 12 menu items to be encoded as direction or double taps.
BOTTOM LINE: Original equipment manufacturer (OEMs) building consumer electronics can now take advantage of user actions based on tapping anywhere on the devices, without the need to add buttons. Also, devices with touch screens can eliminate the real-estate required for menus by allowing user-taps to cause the menu to appear and disappear. These capabilities should spur OEMs to choose Kionix accelerometers for their devices, since only Kionix has this directional-tap capability. It will also spawn similar capabilities from the other accelerometer makers like STMicro, Analog Devices, within the next year or two.

Original source:
Zimbabwean Deputy Prime Minister Arthur Mutambara has appealed for an end to sanctions and more international investment in South Africa.
Speaking at the World Economic Forum on Africa summit in Cape Town, Mr Mutambara said: 'Sanctions in this juncture in our history are meaningless. Help us help ourselves by removing all those sanctions so Zimbabwe can have a fresh start.'
Zimbabwe's African neighbours have failed to respond to its pleas for a $2 billion (£1.2 billion) economic rescue package.
Investors from South Africa are waiting for the implementation of a new bilateral investment promotion and protection agreement before they move in.
'Zimbabwe doesn't have the luxury of time on its side,' warned South African deputy president Kgalema Motlanthe.
Finance Minister Tendai Biti said tax revenues did not begin to cover even basic salaries and that Zimbabwe's state-owned companies were a further drain on the economy.
Zimbabwean Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai was due to meet US President Barack Obama in Washington tonight.

Factors of a Good Injury Case
- You are suffering an injury or injuries due to the negligence or carelessness of the responsible party. For example, a person was sending a text message while driving and ran a stop sign hitting another vehicle and causing injuries to that driver. The driver who was texting is considered negligent for disregarding the responsibility of paying attention to the road while driving and causing injury to another.
- Injury or harm (compensatory damages) resulted from an accident. In the above example, if the person injured suffered a broken arm which resulted in medical bills, lost wages, and/or pain and suffering, the injury would be considered to have caused compensatory damages. These types of damages are things that the injured party may be compensated for.
How Much is My Personal Injury Claim Worth?
A personal injury claim worth varies depending on the type of accident as well as a number of other factors. Some of these factors include who is liable, how severe are the injuries, and how hard is your personal injury attorney willing to fight for you. A good lawyer will build the value of an injury claim by pursuing a recovery of all damages by hiring doctors, economists, and other experts to document all recoverable damages. The personal injury attorneys at Brent Gordon Law Firm are experienced in maximizing the value of an injury claim and will fight for every penny you are owed.

How much will hiring a personal injury lawyer cost? This is a question many of the clients at Brent Gordon Law wonder before hiring an attorney from our law firm. Most personal injury lawyers along with Brent Gordon Law charge what is called a contingency fee. That means you pay nothing until we win your case. This allows clients to continue moving forward with their case without worrying about having the cost of legal fees up front.

Let us help you deal with the insurance companies regarding these costs. We will fight to get you every penny you deserve. No attorney fees will be collected until your case is settled.
Determining Liability
Oftentimes liability is determined by reviewing traffic laws to see if any violations occurred to determine if a persona acted negligently. There are four primary factors used to determine liability which is as follows.
The most common way to determine liability is proving negligence. Negligence is careless or unreasonable conduct while driving which results in harm or damage. Examples of negligent driving is when a driver fails to yield the right-of-way to avoid a crash or by running a red light at an intersection. Violating the law such as reckless driving, speeding, or any other violation will most likely determine the driver at fault for an accident.
Gathering statements from witnesses to the accident often help to determine liability. Their statements have a very clear idea of who was at fault for the accident and can present evidence later on.
Photograph Evidence
Expert analysis of the crash scene or photos of the accident scene can determine things such as if any traffic laws were violated.
Statements of Others
If a driver involved in the accident admits fault, this can be used to assign liability. Statements such as "I didn't see them coming," can do a lot of damage to that person later on.

On August 31st. 2010, the last day of the month, the Old Men of the Mountain met at the Maple Inn, in (this scribe always likes typing "the Maple Inn, in") East Berne. One OF said that he had to wake the proprietor up. The rest of the OF's didn't believe this even as the proprietor admitted to it.
With school taxes coming up we talked about a number of things concerning education and the statement made by the feds Director of Education (or whatever he is called none of the OF's could remember). Note: A quick Google search shows that Arne Duncan is U.S. Secretary of Education. To continue — paraphrased, it was said that all kids should go to college otherwise they are losers. Wrong, Wrong, Wrong in our opinion. Many young people are NOT college material, and they are not losers. As a matter of fact most are winners. Sometimes the college-educated can't maintain their homes; don't even know how to replace a washer in a hose, and some don't even know a washer is in there. Who is going to repair your roof, or build homes, or work in the machine shops, or build the highways, or build the buildings? The list goes on and on. The OF's are not saying that some of those in college can't do this type of work, because many can, but to say all kids must go to college, that is a stretch, and the kids who don't go are definitely not losers.
One OF said never trust a suit. Again, it is our opinion that what schools need is to go back to shop classes and expand on courses like this. Another OF said that not all kids are musicians, or writers, or members ready for the geek squad, or artists, (here the OF forgot who he was talking to). The OF's maintained that the kids should be given the chance to experiment with everything being offered, but once it's found how each child is bent schools should direct them to being well-educated in that field. The OF's bet there would be fewer drop outs. Then again the OF's education is from the school of hard knocks, and experience, and most of us are not book-taught educators. However, we can teach how to drive a nail straight, how to read a level etc. and etc. and etc.
Then the OF's followed up, like most conversations where one thing leads to another, the suits led to uniforms, and again the problem of lumping everyone in one bucket surfaced. The bad cop syndrome that plagues some police departments is a problem. It is good, one OF said, that bad cops are weeded out and what they do is publicized, however, it casts quite a net over those that do a good job, and a dangerous one. One OF mentioned that it must be very hard to work in an environment like that. Another OF said, "Life is getting too hard, it's hard to know who you can trust." And still another OG chimed in with, "Hey, you can trust me. I will only take half of what you have — everybody else wants it all."
Bad cops and drugs seem to be the main problem, and drugs mean money, and money is the root of all evil. One OF said, "It is not the money that's the problem. It is the desire for money… money is just stuff, like a rock." One OF mentioned that there is one way to solve a lot of the crime in the area, or anywhere. We all should pack heat. If somebody comes up to rob you he would think twice if he knew you could blow his head off. Just a thought.
The OF's were getting a little philosophical here.
The OF's started talking about the planes of today and yesterday. What the older planes were like and the pilots that flew them in the forties and fifties. A few of the OF's have been in the service during WWII and Korea, and some were in the Air Force, and in the Navy where planes were involved, and they started telling stories of what some pilots did and how they flew these planes. The planes back then might have had four engines and was landed with only one engine running and that one wasn't operating so hot, or they returned all shot up, and some planes were still on fire when they came back. The OF's mentioned what screwballs these guys were, but as one OG put it, "If we were in their place we would probably do the same thing." Many people say how they would react, or wouldn't react in a given situation, but the OF said until the situation arises we would surprise ourselves on how we react. Some would respond as they imagined they would, while others would react directly the opposite of what they thought they might do.
Those attending the breakfast and considering starting our own school with our own curriculum were: Jay Taylor, Spike Taylor, Art Frament, Bob Benac, Bob Dietz, Jim Watson, Duane Wagenbaugh, Harold Eck, Harold Guest, Harold Grippen, Roger Chapman, Frank Pauli, Mace Porter, Gary Porter, Robie Osterman, John Rossmann, Ted Pelkey, Ted Willsey, Jim Rissacher, Mike Willsey, (Amy Willsey) guest of Mike, and me.

Desk Drawer Snacking
Desk Drawer Snacking
While almost everyone knows they should eat healthy, the preparation and planning required to do so—especially when away from home—can seem nearly impossible.
Making healthy choices during your workday is doable, though, with a little help from Peeled Snacks! Use these tips stay healthy and energized all day long.
Get organized
The key to healthy eating is planning ahead. Purchase healthy snacks in bulk or consider a regular subscription order, like Amazon's subscribe-and-save, so you don't have to continually plan and shop. That way you have what you need, right when you need it.
Plan to eat fruits and vegetables
We know when adults get their recommended 5-9 servings of fruits and vegetables per day, as part of a healthy diet, they are better prepared to focus and may experience increased immune function—meaning less sick days. Always plan to have healthy snacks on hand, so you'll be less likely to reach for chips or soda.
Beat the afternoon slump
If you tend to feel sluggish during late afternoon, try engaging in some light activity. A walk around the block and change of scenery may be all you need to refocus. Healthy snacks may help as well. Look for vitamin and-mineral-rich foods to help your energy return.
What goes up must come down
Avoid foods high in sugar and caffeinated drinks that will give you an artificial "high." After the initial effect wares off, you may feel worse than you did before. Instead, opt for fiber-rich, natural foods that will help you maintain a consistent blood sugar level throughout the day. You won't need a "pick-me-up" if you consistently eat well and keep you blood sugar at a constant, healthy level. Dried fruits, almonds and plain whole-milk yogurt are all excellent options.
Find more healthy tips by following Peeled Snacks on Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook.
