A Slovak court has cleared the Czech finance minister and leader of the second strongest party in government Andrej Babiš of having knowingly served as an agent in the communist-era secret police. The verdict met with relief from the minister's coalition partners but has left many of his critics unconvinced.
The finance minister's drawn out court battle with the Slovak Institute of National Memory, which listed him as a former secret police agent, ended in triumph on Thursday. After two years of deliberations and testimonies from dozens of witnesses Judge Zuzana Doricová read out the verdict that the finance minister had been hoping for. Despite the fact that the minister's code name "Bureš" appeared in a dozen secret police files, she said there was no evidence that Andrej Babiš had knowingly served as an agent in the dreaded communist-era secret police force. Mr. Babiš, who awaited the court's ruling in Prague, said he had expected no less.
"I never signed any document on cooperation, I never served as an agent for them – on the contrary I myself was blackmailed by them and I am very glad that this ordeal is finally over."
Although the minister recalls getting plenty of harassment from the communist-era secret police, which as an employee for a firm dealing in foreign trade he was reportedly unable to avoid, it was paradoxically two members of the former secret service who helped clear his name. Although the respective officers reportedly kept files on him, neither could remember ever dealing with him in person or recruiting him as an agent. The head of the Slovak Institute of National Memory Ondřej Krajnák said it was shameful that the court's ruling hinged on the testimonies of two former secret police officers and confirmed that the institute would appeal the verdict.
"It's a sad day for the Slovak judiciary. And I think it is our duty to see this through to the end. We should not let someone re-write our history."
In Prague the verdict was received with a mixture of relief from government leaders and disbelief from Mr. Babiš' critics. Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka, who was recently fined 10,000 crowns for allowing Andrej Babiš into the government without a clean screening certificate as proof that he did not have an incriminating past, said he hoped the court's verdict would settle the matter once and for all. The leader of the Christian Democrats, Pavel Bělobrádek, who earlier threatened to walk out of the coalition if the government attempted to scrap the screening law that prevents former communist-era secret police agents from holding high posts in public service, said the court's ruling was good news for the Czech coalition.
And while TOP 09 officials openly expressed disbelief at the outcome, Mr. Babiš' presence in government indicates that this may be the end of an era in dealing with the country's communist past. Although the screening law is still valid, its future and practical use are increasingly uncertain. Even before the court ruling had cleared Mr. Babiš' name, the finance minister topped the popularity ladder as the most trusted politician in the country.

Sunday mornings are for pancakes. I love to spend the morning in the kitchen creating something new. This Sunday was no different and armed with some tasty Canadian maple syrup I came up with this recipe.
Thomas has just returned from a trip to Vancouver. He brought back with him a delicious array of maple syrup products and what better way to enjoy maple syrup than with pancakes. Maple syrup and walnuts is a joyous combination of flavours. Walnuts full of vitamin E, omega-3 fats, and antioxidants make them a good choice for breakfast.Continue reading "Walnut and maple syrup buckwheat pancakes"

It's almost officially summer!
My birthday is actually June 21 - first day of summer, and I have to admit, it's truly my favorite season right now. Fresh fruits and vegetables, berries finally being in season - it is a good time to eat, my friends (very important comma...).
So if you're planning on having a little party this weekend, or just want to impress a certain someone...here is another dinner party guide!
Starter: Grilled Tomato Toasts
Fresh, home-grown summer tomatoes may be one of my top three favorite foods of all time.Glory in that seasonal tomato taste with these fantastic grilled tomato toasts, and you may never want to move on to the first course.
Salad: Avocado and Pineapple Salad
Keeping it fresh with a fruity and simple salad, this unique combination is sure to please. This salad is a super tasty way to start off the meal and is surprisingly refreshing.
Main: Key West Grilled Chicken
I am a lime fanatic, and going to Key West, I absolutely loved all of the Caribbean flavors! It was actually our mission on that island to try as many key lime pies as possible - a very worthy mission indeed. This Key West grilled chicken recipe is super simple, super delicious, and a nice, light summer dinner to utilize that grill now that the suns out!
Side: Sticky Rice and Grilled Red Peppers
No recipe for this one - just make sure to buy calrose (sticky rice) at the store, and cover your red peppers with some olive oil and seasoning salt (Slap Ya Mama is the best!!) and toss them on the grill while you are cooking your chicken. You want to cook them (either whole or sliced) over a medium flame until they feel softened and are slightly charred.
Dessert: Homemade Ice Cream
Take your pic - there are SO many amazing recipes out there! My all-time favorite ones come from David Lebovitz - his salted butter caramel ice cream is from the gods, and the chocolate recipe on his blog is divine and infinitely adaptable. I don't know about you, but one of my goals this summer is to use my ice cream maker more (seems reasonable), and this weekend seems like the perfect time to get started!

Act of God?
It would be foolish to give that outrageous American televangelist any more publicity by mentioning his name, but do you think it's enough for a senator just to call him 'silly'? 'Silly'? A man who says that God hates Haitians because they signed a pact with the devil to get rid of the French? Wouldn't that be categorisable as a hate crime, or at least a mindf**k? After all, I listened two days ago to Floridan Haitians gathered together to talk to the BBC World Service, all of them firm in their belief in God and several, including a priest, wondering whether they might not, after all, have been justly punished. The poison spreads.
Well, I hope I'm speaking to the enlightened, so I don't need to say any more. Except, like everyone else, to add, give what you can, either through Medecins sans frontieres or any other reliable charity.
As so often, the obvious awfulness of religious dogma and superstition sits alongside something genuinely strange or wonderful: the Jerusalem versus The Sacred Made Real syndrome. I've just finished Barbara Reynolds's lucid, if sometimes oddly uncritical, biography of her friend Dorothy L Sayers. Now there was a woman who could make dogma seem credible.
There's one obvious connection with the current bandwagon of disaster: the palaver over her attempt to render the New Testament vivid in contemporary language with the radio plays that make up The Man Born to be King. This was wartime, and when, Reynolds tells us, 'Singapore fell to the Japanese, the event was interpreted in the press as a sign of God's judgment on Britain for allowing such a blasphemy to be committed'.
Sayers is such a splendid example of the flexible mind, capable of change across vast swathes of time. It's true that she comes over a little priggish in her cleverness. But then, around the time of embarking on the Wimsey/Vane novel everyone thinks her masterpiece, Gaudy Night - I've just ordered it up - she seems to have learned how to reconcile the head and the heart. After that, she goes on developing up to her dying day: laying out her extraordinary parallels between the trinity, above all the Nicene Creed's essential idea of God's incarnation as man, and the three elements of artistic creation, before tackling Dante. The whole rule-of-three business is a conceit, of course, but how plausible she makes it. And I love her simple faith in the value of unimpeded work. I can't say I always like her from reading this, but I do admire her.

Back a couple of decades, I read almost all, if not all, of Sayers Wimsey novels. I remember Gaudy Night in particular because she revealed in such detail the workings of English college culture.

It was certainly the novel of which she felt proudest, declaring that the detective element was subordinate to her own feelings about the life of the intellect.
The Nine Tailors, which I cited last year, is a miracle of atmosphere and detail, too (everything you always wanted to know about campanology...)

- Will said...
I read Nine Taylors, too. Most of what I remember of the book has to do with change ringing, but I haven't retained much of the mystery plot. We had, during all my years in Boston, one church that had a full peal hanging in its tower and every now and then a change ringing club would come and fill the Back Bay neighborhood with the sound of bells for most of a day. Some people hated it but whenever I heard it I loved the sheer raucous, joyous noise of it.

Sadly bellringers, like nightingales, are an endangered species, under threat from citydwellers who move to the country and don't like the noise...I kid you not ('those damned nightingales are keeping us awake all night...')

Mr Nice's report on citydwellers who are kept awake by the nightingales reminds me of the Wodehouse character Admiral George "Fruity" Biffen, who, having taken a country cottage near Blandings Castlem left it abruptly to return to Piccadilly where a man can get a good night's sleep, undisturbed by the dawn chorus

When I lived in one of Boston's neighborhoods just outside of the center, I had mockingbirds at night. They's start around 1AM and sing until 3 or so, going through their entire repertories. I suppose I should have been upset at the disturbance but I always loved it.
- 1 February 2010 at 13:49

Whence the phrase, then, 'to kill a mockingbird'?

- Will said...
Ha! Cruel--but very funny.

I'm part in earnest - is that where it comes from? I don't know the Harper Lee original and haven't seen the wonderful film for ages, so I can't remember the origin of the phrase.

04 Nov Mischkah Scott in Tuscany ~ X-T2 with Pro Neg S ~ NSFW
Source: Pro Photo Nut
The Tuscan landscape is a magical place to be. As someone who is visually driven I love to live as much of my life looking at beautiful things. As a photographer I capture what I see and I go out of my way to ensure I'm standing in front of gorgeous places, objects and people. It is with this philosophy in mind that I found myself at a luxury villa in Tuscany with Mischkah Scott and Amber Tutton. Here are 50 shots of Mischkah that I took over the 12 days we spent in Tuscany back in September. (Amber's set are here).
The following 50 shots of Mischkah were taken on a Fujifilm X-T2 with 16mm, 23mm, 35mm, 56mm and 90mm prime lenses. All the processing is in the Pro Neg S colour space in Lightroom. I selected colour versions for all these shots and I chose monochrome for all of Amber's shots in her post here on Prophotonut. However both sets or pictures have been processed in both colour and monochrome. Enjoy. NSFW beyond this point.

Put The Isley Brothers, Jimi Hendrix, and The Soul Survivors together for an evening and something is bound to happen. That something is called Privilege, a group of four young rockers dedicated to music that makes you feel it first and think about it later.
Privilege was formed by organist Paul Venturini and guitarist Edward Leonetti. Originally members of the Soul Survivors, they met the Isleys one night at a concert at Syracuse University. A couple of months later, when they split the Survivors to form their own group, they contacted the Isleys. According to Kelly Isley, "We remembered Paul and Edward's musicianship very well. In fact, Jimi and my brothers and I talked about them a great deal after the concert. So when they called, we immediately invited them to record forourT-Neck Records label."
With the record deal pending, Paul and Edward went out in search of two other musicians to make up the four man group they envisioned. "We eventually got together with Jack Douglas and Tommy Brannick. We'd known Jack and Tommy when they'd been in another group and knew that we'd get along with them well," says Paul, explaining that "instead of finding great super musicians for Privilege, we wanted to make sure everybody's head was going in the same direction.
With Jack on bass and Tommy on drums, Privilege went into rehearsal, performing material written by Paul and Edward. "The music we're trying to make is basic and understandable to everybody," says Edward. "We're trying to come out with a group effort, not four soloists collected together."
Finally, the group felt that they were ready to record. Under the guidance of The Isley Brothers they headed into the sessions. "Guidance is the word," says Paul. "Instead of telling us what to do, and trying to change what we do musically, the Isleys channeled our abilities and allowed us to get all our ideas down." More info

Author: Erin Bow
Rating: ★★★★★
Synopsis: A world battered by climate shift and war turns to an ancient method of keeping peace: the exchange of hostages. The Children of Peace – sons and daughters of kings and presidents and generals – are raised together in small, isolated schools called Prefectures. There, they learn history and political theory, and are taught to gracefully accept what may well be their fate: to die if their countries declare war.
Greta Gustafsen Stuart, Duchess of Halifax and Crown Princess of the Pan-Polar Confederation, is the pride of the North American Prefecture. Learned and disciplined, Greta is proud of her role in keeping the global peace — even though, with her country controlling two-thirds of the world's most war-worthy resource — water — she has little chance of reaching adulthood alive.
Enter Elián Palnik, the Prefecture's newest hostage and biggest problem. Greta's world begins to tilt the moment she sees Elián dragged into the school in chains. The Prefecture's insidious surveillance, its small punishments and rewards, can make no dent in Elián, who is not interested in dignity and tradition, and doesn't even accept the right of the UN to keep hostages.
What will happen to Elián and Greta as their two nations inch closer to war?
Huge thank you to Simon & Schuster Canada for this ARC!
Sam's Review:
Last year at the INSPIRE Bookfair held in Toronto, I met Erin Bow. We got into a conversation about her novels when I asked if she had anything new in the pipeline. She grinned at me and said, "Wait and see." The Scorpion Rules might actually surpass Plain Kate as my favourite book by her, which is hard to believe because I am a mad fangirl for Plain Kate.
The Scorpion Rules drips a unique premise: royal children held hostage, if there country goes to war, they die. Bow does an amazing job crafted the rules of the world, while providing a unique blend of futuristic world-building with medieval ideologies. It's really a unique blend, and the book does an amazing job of pushing the boundaries of the world-building further and further as you read on. Can I just say I squealed because Greta is a Canadian princess? I did squeal over that.
This book is disturbing on so many levels and that's what makes it a compulsive read. There's brainwashing, torture, and I swear I cringed any time the cider press came up. Greta takes an absolutely beating in this story, and yet she is such a strong individual who attempts to accept the circumstances and challenges them. She makes some tough decisions and I easily found myself so nervous for her. The tesnion in this novel is insane, and I found myself so uncomfortable at times.
The characters in this novel have their limits tested and pushed, and I found them all to be characters I could sympathize with. Except for Talis. Talis scared the crap out of me. Smarmy, intelligent, full of himself, he is an AI who totally will kill you if given the chance. My co-blogger kept picturing James Spader's Ultron voice when reading Talis' character and I 100% totally see what she's talking about, because after she said that I found myself picturing it as well. I just found him so creepy and freaky and any time he made an uncomfortable suggestion, I found myself shuttering.
Of all of Erin Bow's works, this might be my favourite. It left me emotionally wrecked, uncomfortable a good chunk of the time, and I found myself panicking and worrying for the safety of the characters. This book was so much more than I was expecting and wanting, from the complex relationships, to the romantic elements even. I loved everything about The Scorpion Rules and it's totally worth the emotional torture it will put you through.
River's Review:
This book was perfection! This is my second book by Bow and just wow. I read Sorrow's Knot last year and really loved it. I love Bow's writing, I love how she just pulls you under and then rips you apart before you even know it because everything is so damn beautiful and horrifying at the same time.
I went into this book with high expectations and they were met and then some. I was not prepared for the evil AI, or the complex relationships. I was not prepared for Greta's strength and the choices that she would make.
My husband is an AI research scientist getting his PhD at MIT currently. I constantly ask him to NOT create terminators. To not created THIS type of AI. He's given me many many lectures and reassurances on how robots wont take over, but damn. I've read about and watched videos about Transcendence. And the AI in this book is way more on the transcendence side than the 'evil robots take over' side. It's less Skynet and more Ray Kurzwell style crazy. The machines wont take over, they'll just stop us out unless we join them. And a future like this, a future where an AI that was not even a machine to begin with, but a MAN, is terrifying. And to know that this is real life research makes the intentions behind this book even more terrifying.
I loved the characters in this book. I loved that even the secondary characters had depth and surprising strengths. I almost cried multiple times and the ending was so bittersweet. Greta's love for her friends and family was so strong, and I loved the complex relationship between her, Xie and Elian.
And let me take a moment to talk about the goats. Evil AI and GOATS?! I loved how essential the goats were to this story. They added comedy, they were catalysts for pivotal moments and they were just damn cute!
This book is getting a lot of buzz and I'm glad for it. Check it out, and make sure to check out Bow's other books. I know that I'm going to have to hunt down a copy of Plain Kate ASAP!

THE LAST SEVEN days have seen 4,095 penalty points being issued to people around Ireland.
That's according to the Road Safety Authority, which has been tweeting facts and figures relating to road safety today.
It said that there were 127 people arrested on suspicion of drink driving in the last week.
There were also sadly three fatalities in the last week, said the RSA.
It is encouraging people to retweet these figures and to ask how they can improve road safety, and also reflect on how safely they share the roads.
It emerged in September that 78 children who were killed on Irish roads were not wearing a seatbelt. There were 262 children killed on roads since 1997, with 112 being pedestrians and 110 car passengers.

Ludic Activities: Creative Strategies To Support Subjective Wellbeing Of Older People With Dementia In Residential CareSupervisors: Dr Cathy Treadaway, Dr Gareth Loudon, Dr Darren Walker (external) Research Group / Theme: CARIAD
The research project aims to examine creative strategies for
enhancing positive wellbeing through innovative playful activities for
people living with dementia in long-term residential care.
Objectives will be met by undertaking case study interviews and
observations with professional carers, activity facilitators, and
occupational therapists in order to gain insights into the psychological
needs of persons with dementia and ways in which these needs are met. A
framework for designing strategies will be developed through analysis
of these insights and contextualized with theories drawn from fields
including: Person Centered Care, Creativity Studies, Design Interaction,
and Aesthetics.
Using Participatory Research Methods with residential care staff, it
is intended that activities will be designed to be appropriate, goal
free, focused on living in the moment, and tailored to meet the needs of
residents and care staff within long-term dementia units.

Dead to Rights: Retribution Preview
Man's best friend has, for a long time, been a well behaved pup. But this summer he's going to turn bad in Namco/ Volatiles third instalment of the Dead To Rights series, Dead To Rights: Retribution, which is set to see the toughest crime fighting duo in gaming, Jack Slate and Shadow, return to clear up the mean streets of Grant City.
Starting life on the Xbox back in 2002 as a timed exclusive, Dead to Rights introduced the world to Jack and his faithful Alaskan Malamute/wolf hybrid partner, Shadow. They blew a hole through the first game and a prequel, as well as a PSP spin off. The past games all received mediocre reviews and a luke warm reception. So, four years later, Namco have decided to reboot the franchise from the ground up while keeping the core game play and the protagonists the same.
So this time around, the story is a lot darker than the last and sees the focus of the game shift from gun and run to more hand to hand combat. Jack has an uncompromising fighting style, seeing him raining down bone crunching punches and kicks, but also having the skill to disarm thugs,with encounters often ending in a snapping of limbs. On top of this Jack can us the weapons he has taken from his enemies but can only use the ammo that remains in the gun. Once it is spent, he throws the gun away in a sort of Mirror Edge style gun play. This means combat is more hand to hand focused, rather than a constant fire fight. But by far the star of the show has to be Shadow, who is by Jacks side at all times and who is more than capable of incapacitating enemies with a bite to the jugular or, far worse, a wince inducing bite to the crotch.
The seedy grimy streets of Grant city have been redesigned from the last games and look a damn sight better, thanks to the new engine. But the odd thing from the last game is that it looks like Jack and Shadow have been to the gym and have got ripped, Gears of War style, showing what four years off duty can do and he even sports a dashing Alpinestar Jacket. Also the whole game has taken a darker edge than the previous games.
The game plays like a cross between Max Payne and Gears Of War. There is a robust cover system that works much the same as that of Gears but once it all goes down, combat is fluid and this is helped by a combat system that makes it very easy to pull combos in the heat of the fight. Also, when Jack gets into a fire fight, he can use Max Payne style bullet-time adding that John woo style feel to these encounters.
You will also get to fight with Shadow and, thanks to Volatile, our furry friend moves in a realistic dog like way. Shadow can run and jump because he is very agile, he can also fight, Whether it's creeping up on thugs in a stealth way or full on throat ripping assault. But also playing as him you will get to see the game from a different perspective, along with having his own objectives separate to that of jacks. Hopefully there will be lots of sections where we will get behind the paws of Shadow, as these will mix up the game play from time to time.
So all in all Dead To Rights : Retribution is shaping up to be an action packed return to the streets for our crime fighting duo, though for the full and in depth review be sure to check back in April.

Today, we might feel sad about what is now missing from our lives: the wonderful, loving, caring, fun, intelligent, gentle, sweet man who was so much more than husband, dad, grandpa and friend. But we know that while we may miss him, he is where he wanted to be. So today, we want to celebrate his life with us and share some of the special memories, the gifts that he left for us.
Dad loved to tell us stories of his life, and it was fun to hear stories about where that started… on the farm, a big ten pound baby boy born on the kitchen table during a blizzard. As children he and his siblings Ed, Violet and Vivian bathed in a tub out back of the house. Being the youngest, he had to go last! As a special treat sometimes they got to have toast with sugar and coffee poured over it. They also shared a horse that they took turns riding to school. We recently found a story he wrote about a large black horse purchased by his grandpa:
"…As I bent down to pick up the rock, I heard hoof beats coming behind me. I turned to see the black (horse) coming toward me full speed with fire in his eyes. I quickly dropped the rock and ran to the fence and rolled under it just in the nick of time. I thought grandpa was going to kill the horse, but instead sold him the next day."
He also told us of the many adventures he had in the Air Force. As a medic, he drove an ambulance in France. He had wanted to be a doctor but got dizzy at the sight of blood! I imagine this is probably what fueled his decision to become a pharmacist instead. Dad enjoyed dazzling us by speaking and singing in French, which he learned while stationed there. He also knew some German and Italian. After the military, Dad went to pharmacy school where he met our lovely mom, Barb… he just might have tried to impress her with those language skills! During their schooling he was her teacher's assistant in chemistry – and found that their chemistry led to marriage. Mom's special memory of Dad was when they were with a group of people and he said, "I just want to be the best pharmacist I can be". We know that he achieved that goal.
We mostly remember what a fun dad he was and the adventurous things we did together! With Jennie and Stephanie each on a knee, he would let them ride the "horses" Blackie and Whitey. I can just imagine their giggles as they held onto his fingers for reins and he bounced them in a horse race. He also had a very big spider (hand) that came down from above and made us squeal in anticipation of getting tickled. His grandchildren, who each had a special relationship with him, also remember fun times with their "Bumpa". Bumpa loved his Jenna, Caity, Melissa, Adam, Brian, Ashley, Zachary, Courtney, and Michael!
Imagine driving out to the country on summer nights, lying on top of the car and looking at the stars… I could always find the Big Dipper and the Little Dipper. One of Mike's favorite memories is of fishing with him at Tub Springs, Nine Mile Creek and Box Butte Reservoir. The family would often hike and cook out at the Wildcat Hills, and he even took us to the dump to search for additions to Mike's beer can collection. Olde Frothinslosh was by far the best can in the bunch! We remember trips to Alliance to see Grandma and Grandpa, and vacations in the station wagon to Yellowstone, Wisconsin and Illinois. Dad supported us in all of our band concerts, musicals, sports events and coached Mike's Little League team. At my first basketball game when I scored a basket for the other team, he wrote a funny poem to make it all better. "A tisket, a tasket, she scored a great big basket…" I wish I could remember the rest!
There's no denying that our dad was a funny guy. We have many photos of him in funny hats and making funny faces – even one of him wearing a dress for a Lion's club play. People often speak of Dad's jokes and his smile. He liked to occasionally embarrass us, too! He would honk and wave driving down Main with the girls, trying to see how many honks and waves he could get! Silliness aside, Stephanie's favorite memory of Dad was when he taught her to drive.
Being a service-oriented man, dad was an active participant in the church, serving communion and greeting members. He also participated in the Lion's club – a reminder of that is the Lion drinking fountain that they installed at the zoo. When one of Stephanie's friends needed scoliosis surgery, it was our dad who spearheaded the effort to raise the money to make that happen. For that, he will be remembered also.
Jennie's favorite memory of our dad is of him dancing at her wedding. He loved to dance and he loved music – everything from CCR to Tchaikovsky! Mom and he took country swing dance lessons and had a great time together! Stephanie and Dad were regular musicians at Saturday night mass at St. Agnes, as well as playing the guitar and singing at home. At just about any time he could be heard singing or whistling a tune in his own special style. He liked to start a phrase about a half beat behind everyone else, and we could pick out his voice anywhere. Dad especially enjoyed making up funny lyrics, such as "50 ways to love your liver". Customers at Taco Town were in for a treat when he sang along with the Juke Box!
I will always remember Mom and Dad singing in the car in perfect harmony…
"Tell me why the stars do shine. Tell me why the ivy twines. Tell me why the sky's so blue, and I will tell you just why I love you."
We love you, Dad. Shine on.

Open source enterprise portal vendor Liferay has finally released an enterprise edition of Social Office 2.0 -- while the Community Edition became available last August. The enterprise edition offers advanced document and content management features.
With it, users across the enterprise will be able to collaborate with other business teams in the enterprise as well as build networks that will connect those teams.
Liferay Social Office 2.0 CE
If this sounds vaguely familiar, you may want to go back to the August release of Social Office 2.0 Community Edition that integrated Social Office CE into the Liferay's core portal platform.
With the Enterprise Edition, users effectively get the same thing, but on an enterprise scale. Users are offered a full social intranet that works in parallel to all their other sites and applications that have been integrated into Liferay Portal.
It also offers Liferay Sync, providing enterprises with the key functionality of synchronizing documents across the entire enterprise, making the latest versions available across desktops, and more importantly, mobile devices everywhere.
Liferay Social Office 2.0 EE
Needless to say the Enterprise Edition has a much bigger punch than the Community Edition and comes with advanced content management and collaboration features, including site creation and task management, as well as the other social tools like blogs, wikis, message boards and calendars -- which were introduced in the CE 2.0 edition.
Social Office EE 2:20 Dashboard
New features include:
- Enhanced document management: Offers users previews and an enhanced user interface that enables the creation, editing and sharing of documents for tight document collaboration.
- Contacts Center: Enables users to track down other enterprise users quickly and easily.
- Notifications: Users now get alerts about new requests, messages or announcements through the notifications center on the dockbar.
- Microblogging: Enables users to broadcast real-time updates to connections and followers and see other posts from other users.
- User Management: Easy and intuitive management of Social Office roles
Social Office 2:0 is the first major release that is available in the new Marketplace, but is by no means the only app there. Currently, there are over 70 apps and themes in th &e Marketplace. The Marketplace is really only beginning to gain ground now, but with 70,000 developers and contributors creating apps for the portal, its use should pick up considerably in coming months.
Social Office can be purchased as an out-of-the-box solution compatible with existing deployments of Liferay Portal.

UK comedy show Little Britain has won the Best Comedy award in New York for Little Britain Abroad, at the 35th annual International Emmy Awards.
In fact British comedy shows (most of them BBC productions) won seven out of eight nominations at the ceremony – which celebrates television programmes which are produced outside of the United States.
Other winning British shows included the documentary by Stephen Fry called The Secret Life of the Manic Depressive, best actor for Jim Broadbent for The Street and best non-scripted entertainment went to How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria?
British comedienne Victoria Wood was nominated for Housewife 49, but missed out as Muriel Robin from France walked away with the award.
The sketch show Little Britain is the creation of Matt Lucas and David Walliams. Matt Lucas appeared with Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer in The Smell of Reeves and Mortimer. He later moved on to Shooting Stars and via a number of TV shows and writing projects, before teaming up with David Walliams.
Little Britain started out as a radio program on BBC Radio 4 before becoming a TV series and moving across to BB2 and then BBC1, as well as comedy DVDs. International success has ensured that Little Britain's many catch phrases have ingrained themselves into popular culture.

The Different Types Of Quilt Fabrics And How To Choose The Right Ones
Have you been browsing our collection of quilting fabrics, but are you a little overwhelmed by the large amount of choices? Choosing your first selection of quilting fabrics can be a little daunting, so we have created a useful guide for beginners. Below, you can find a brief summary of different quilt fabrics and their main characteristics. We also put down some useful tips on how to choose the best ones for your project.
What Are The Different Quilting Fabric Designs?
In the world of quilting, some fabrics have a specific name. As a beginner, it is a good idea to get familiar with these names, as knowing them makes it easier to find the exact fabrics you need.
Solid fabrics are probably the ones you will be working with first, as they consist of a single colour and do not contain any additional patterns or prints. They are also the easiest to work with, so they are most suitable for beginners.
Naturally, you will also find an incredible selection of printed and patterned fabrics, this includes mini-print, calico, dot, large scale, stripe, and geometric. You can also encounter fabrics that contain a combination of colour. Examples of such a fabric are tone on tone and airy fabric. Naturally, this range of fabrics should only be called upon when you have become a little more experienced.
Which Fabrics Are Most Suitable For The Larger Parts Of My Quilt?
For the larger parts of your quilt, you want the most reliable material. Cotton will therefore be your first choice, as this material is durable, breathable, and quite resistant to stains as well. However, please consider that cotton fabrics can vary in quality, so always check the details of a fabric online before you place an order.
Once you have bought your cotton fabric, it is necessary to prepare the fabric before you start the sewing process, this means you have to wash it. Washing the fabric will remove any remaining dye and shrink the fabric to its actual size. Once again, higher quality cotton fabrics will have less shrinkage and colour bleeding.
While solid fabrics are often easiest for beginners in terms of quilt construction, stitching mistakes can show up a lot easier on solid fabric pieces. If you are concerned about your current sewing ability, you can choose fabrics with a print, this since a print can hide some of the sewing mistakes made during the quilting project.
Which Printed Fabrics Are Best For My Quilt?
The printed fabric you choose for quilting will depend on the overall design of your quilt. For example, if you only want a print as a special feature on your quilt, it can be better to choose a fabric with a larger print. You can also use the larger printed fabrics for your borders, as they leave a nice detail.
Looking for printed fabrics for either binding, backing, or sashing? For either of these processes, fabrics with a smaller print will be recommended. If you want a narrow border on your quilt, check out some of the chequered and striped fabrics out there.
Crafters who want to create a quilt in monochrome colours will have to look at some printed fabrics that match this design. Fabrics with a black and white print tend to be the fist go-to, but tone on tone prints should also be a serious consideration.
When it comes to the printed fabrics you use for quilting, there are other styles you may want to create. There are retro prints, novelty prints, and other unique options that could make your quilt stand out considerably. Of course, do not forget about blender fabrics, since these can unify the design of your quilt.
What Printed Quilting Fabrics Can I Obtain From Spotlight?
Spotlight has a large range of quilting fabrics available to you, this includes all the options we mentioned above. So, if you are looking for a printed fabric to use in your next quilting project, you are bound to find it in our catalogue. Don't forget, Spotlight also offers its fabrics at the lowest prices, so we are sure you will use our store a lot in the future!

Thank you very much Nick. I wasn't aware of the protocol about explaining where I got the program from. I obtained it from Thomas Plumper's web pages, http://www.polsci.org/pluemper/ssc.html
Your observation about the method is spot on, and you were indeed very polite. I nevertheless wanted to produce results by using the method and make comparisons. I can get it work with a different data set and a model. So, your comment 4) suggests that this particular problem is related to the memory available on my computer.
Thanks again.

-xtfevd- is a user-written program. It is not even found by -findit-. Either way, you are asked to explain where user-written programs you refer to come from. I don't think the authors of -xtfevd- are members of Statalist, so I doubt that you will get good support on it through Statalist.
Incidentally, a Google for fixed effects vector decomposition will yield references to discussion papers maintaining that this method has been oversold, to put it fairly politely. I can't adjudicate on this -- I've not even read the papers -- but my impression is that the critics are weightier authorities than the proponents. (I are aware from argument from authority is often regarded as a fallacy, but it's what I have here.)
That aside, Mata can't find a way to allocate a matrix that is [6168, 6168]. Deeper diagnosis of that problem may depend on some combination of (1) the details of -xtfevd- (2) the details of your dataset and what this command implies (3) the memory available on your computer (4) the flavour of your Stata.

Simon Peter Nadeem, a PhD student at the University of Derby's Centre for Supply Chain Improvement, discusses the latest advances in technology which are changing the face of logistics and supply chain management and opening up new opportunities.
Conceiving an innovative idea and turning it into reality is made easier with the assistance of technological advancement. Mostly the new ideas are disruptive in their nature as they intend to bring change, and they often face resistance but are appraised and widely adopted after their proven success. Technological advancement has bridged the gap for the realisation of conceived ideas into reality in matter of no time. The fact remains true that technology alone is unable to come up with such solutions unless the human imagination, thinking and creativity direct it.
Technology utilisation in logistics and supply chain management
Like many other business sectors benefiting from technological advancement, Logistics and Supply Chain Management (LSCM) has also taken strong move to be ahead of the game. A brief overview of more contemporary technological advancements utilised in LSCM are presented in figure one and discussed further.
The role of mobile phones
Mobile phones, initially developed to make/receive calls and to send text messages, are now nothing less than a computer in the palm of every user, which can not only be controlled by touch and voice, but can be used to process data and guide the users. Smartphones are extremely useful to capture data of real time inventory, delivery and location of goods; along with many other features, such as video calling, GPS navigation, accounting, etc. Thus LSCM can benefit by its usage to make their operations both efficient and effective.
Radio Frequency Identification
Long gone are the days when humans need to count the inventory physically as well direct it to its destination. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is playing a revolutionary role in the era of LSCM. A small sticker with an RFID tag pasted behind the label of the products, massively optimises the operations by saving time and eliminating, or reducing, the possibility of errors. Inventory's movement, identification, data-recording and transfer are some of the key advantages possible, without ever opening the package and that also in the matter of seconds.
Moving goods from point A to B is a key activity in the LSCM sector. Never before has LSCM experienced the possibility to deliver goods to people's homes through a small, unmanned, electric, and easy to operate drone. Although the initial development and usage of drones was only observed in military activities, through the growth in knowledge and advancement of this technology, its utility features have expanded and have now become an important asset for production facility, as well as regular delivery of products. Some examples of companies using drones to deliver packages are Domino's Pizza, Amazon and DHL.
3D printing
The very latest, revolutionary development is 3D printing and it is going to disrupt LSCM operations very soon. 3D printing brings the biggest change to the sector by providing the possibility to print produce on demand, instead of storing goods. Through the rise and adaptation of 3D printing, the whole supply chain will be disrupted, along with a change in demand pattern. This will require new ways of sourcing products and the required materials. Although its mass adaptation is not seen at present, it's just around the corner.
Augmented reality
Augmented reality (AR) is another recent revolutionary development, especially for the LSCM sector, as it opens new doors and possibilities to optimise day to day operations and to achieve accuracy at its best. The scope of AR is not just limited to LSCM. It is widely adopted across industries such as medicine, production, education and training. Technological tools such as smart glasses, smart lenses, head-mounted displays, handheld devices, including smart phones, stationery systems, and spatial augmented reality systems, are utilised to assist the use of augmented reality.
LSCM can massively benefit through the utilisation of AR in day-to-day operations and achieve benefits, such as space optimisation in the warehouse and delivery trucks, efficiently navigating products without any extra training for employees, minimising pick-up errors and damage to goods, providing training on the job through step by step guidance for employees, and optimising the freight loading process.
Some final thoughts
The spectrum to optimise operations management is broadening through the assistance of technological advancement. Its adaptation in everyday business will provide dynamic opportunities for successful operations in any business, including LSCM. Tools such as mobile phones, RFID, drones, 3D printing, and augmented reality are enormously useful to maximise the potential and minimise the possibility of error within the LSCM operations. These advancements are expanding the LSCM boundaries and require new rules of the game.

Dragon Bamboo and Coconut Windchime
This handmade windchime has been decorated with delightful (and of course ferocious!) nodding dragon using coconut.
When the wind blows, not only do the bamboo chimes make a wonderful sound but, the dragon also nods its head. Awesome!
Windchimes are perfect for placing around the garden or an open window to add a nice musical note.As the wind blows, the bevelled sections knock together and against the central wooden striker creating a gentle, pleasing tone.
This lovely set of bamboo windchimes is produced using fast growing bamboo, meaning that it is an easily sustainable material. Bamboo is useful for many things, once dried out and shaped it makes a lovely noise when hit with the central mallet.
Handmade in Indonesia
Approximate length of longest chime is 40cm.
These windchimes are handmade and so will vary slightly.

A rainy Sunday afternoon turned out to be rather warm…
I heard my friends were going to volunteer at a Children's Home, when I enquired further the question was asked, "Are You Keen on joining?".
Always keen on lending a helping hand where needed as I personally feel time is more precious than money, I jumped at the opportunity.
We arrived at the Christine Revell Children's Home in Athlone at 14:00 to join The Keen Movement an NPO started by a group of friends aiming to to encourage a keen
volunteer culture within Cape
The programme for the day was to interact with the children at the home making flags and helping them colour in pictures of our beloved Springbok – We were bringing the bok 'gees' seeing that the Bokke won on Saturday. As the children were brought into the room awoken from their afternoon nap we got them seated and watched them enthusiastically start drawing or colouring the pictures. I joined a group and tried talking to one of the little girls when a boy jumped on me haha, when I lifted him up he thought that was fun and wanted to do it all the time.
Once the children got past the initial shock of new faces they quickly opened up and become their usual cheerful, playful selfs as you would expect from children. One of them pointed out a Winnie the Pooh picture on the wall I never noticed, after he found a picture of Pooh on one of the crayons. I also learnt that a butterfly is actually a bubberfly hahaha kids really do say the darndest things.
We then moved to a bigger room where an attempt was made to teach the kids to Nae Nae, once the music started they had other plans, some showing off their own dance moves. Watching them run around laughing and playing, one girl asked me to pick her up, when I took her hand she started walking up my leg hahaha I felt like a jungle gym – this little girl definitely has a future in our South African gymnastic team one day.
A heart-warming experience thoroughly enjoyed by the volunteers and the children.
'Don't ever question the value of
volunteers. Noah's Ark was built
by volunteers; the Titanic was
built by professionals.' – unknown

Rental Market's Big Buyers
Private-Equity Giant Blackstone's $1 Billion Bet on Foreclosed Family Homes
Blackstone Group BX 0.25% LP has become the biggest U.S. investor in single-family rental homes by spending more than $1 billion since the start of 2012 to acquire more than 6,500 foreclosed houses in eight metropolitan areas, according to people briefed by Blackstone.
The firm also is finalizing a loan for at least $300 million from Deutsche Bank to support this business, these people said.
Numerous private-equity firms have crowded into the business, some as early as last year, looking for a way to bet on the recovery of the housing market. Blackstone's growing commitment to this strategy offers fresh evidence that the purchases of foreclosed homes, which began as a mom-and-pop pursuit, is gaining legitimacy among the biggest private-equity firms.
The demand from these firms and other investors could help strengthen the housing recovery, analysts say. Earlier this year, the Federal Reserve expressed support for the strategy as a way to clear the backlog of foreclosures that has weighed down the market.
Video From the Archive
People involved in the market estimate that private-equity firms and other investors have raised $6 billion to $8 billion to invest in the sector, as they try to take advantage of prices that have fallen nationwide on average by more than a third. That could buy 40,000 to 80,000 properties, according to a recent report from Keefe Bruyette & Woods.
Of course, success is by no means assured for private-equity firms, especially given their high targets for investment returns in general and their lack of experience with this type of real estate. Used to buying office buildings, shopping centers and other big properties, they may struggle to find economies of scale in managing thousands of individual homes in neighborhoods that were hard-hit by foreclosures, but are showing signs of price stabilization.
Skeptics also have pointed out that bulk sales of repossessed homes are rarer and smaller than many investors had hoped. In many markets, firms are battling small investors at foreclosure auctions on courthouse steps, buying properties one by one, a tedious process. There also is little precedent for selling thousands of homes en masse, something the firms will need to do to cash out.
Blackstone and other firms are expanding rapidly partly because the housing market is firming up. In some markets, home prices have risen to the point that firms might not be able to achieve their initial return objectives from renting them out.
"I believe the smart thing to do is to ramp up really quickly, because I think the dynamics are going to change dramatically in the next 12 months," said John Burns, an Irvine, Calif.-based housing consultant. "We're going to see a lot of price appreciation at the low end of the market, which means lower cash yields."
Among the private-equity firms crowding into the single-family home market are Colony Capital LLC, Oaktree Capital Group LLC, KKR KKR -1.84% & Co., GTIS Partners and Och-Ziff Capital Management LLC, which have invested less money and bought fewer homes. On Wednesday, Waypoint Real Estate Group LLC, a real-estate investment firm in the single-family rental market, said it had secured a $245 million loan from Citigroup Inc., C -2.54% to expand its portfolio of more than 2,400 homes.
"We're finally starting to see the private sector coming in and providing a solution. It was just equity and now it's debt. We're seeing meaningful price appreciation in a number of markets across the country," as investors buy up more homes, said Waypoint managing director Gary Beasley.
But Blackstone, one of the biggest buyout firms in the world, has been able to muscle its way to the front of the pack by taking advantage of the $13.3 billion property fund it closed last month, the largest of its kind ever raised, and has already spent about one-third of it, say people who have spoken with Blackstone. It has paid an average of about $140,000 for each home in Phoenix, southern and northern California, Atlanta, Miami, Tampa and Chicago. Like other investors in this market, the firm is planning to fix up the homes, rent them and eventually sell them after the market rebounds.
Blackstone has previously said it expects to achieve initial yields of 6% to 7% on the rental income. But the firm also will need rents and home values to rise if it is going to hit the double-digit returns that it typically promises its investors.
Private-equity firms also are looking to boost returns by putting leverage on their portfolios. Blackstone is close to finalizing a loan from Deutsche Bank AG DB -1.29% for $300 million, an amount that could expand to as much as $600 million, the people said. The loan is the largest made to a private-equity fund for this strategy so far, executives at several firms say.
As private-equity firms enter the single-home market, they have partnered with local property companies to buy, lease and manage properties. Blackstone, for example, has partnered with Dallas-based Riverstone Residential Group and Tempe-based Treehouse Group to form a new company, called Invitation Homes, to manage its single-family rental business.

Listing your property online is really a must there days but there are differences in how you do the listing and there are a couple of things you should bear in mind before you decide to do your listing. We have decided to compile a list on the must-dos before you put your home on sale.
Many people run into hasty decisions when it comes to selling their property not really considering the outcomes. From the moment you put your property online with a company such as Fast Sale Homes you may count on receiving phone calls and some people would want to see your home instantly especially if you give a good price. Therefore you must ensure that you have prepared your home for selling: you decluttered, everything is clean and in the best case scenario you are on the verge of moving out. You must also ensure that you are emotionally detached enough to be ready to sell your home. While many people think they are, they may easily end up emotionally drained, even depressed when it comes to the real deal.
You need to be aware that selling a property is just like a proper job. You will need to be available to show the property, you will receive phone calls and/or emails regarding your listing and you will need to get prepared to tell people the same things over and over again. This is tiring and stressful and you will need to make yourself free for that period, unless you decide to hire a professional real estate agent to do all these for you.
You have to go through the prices of properties like yours in the area, you count with the taxes and other payables and calculate those in the price and post your price accordingly. If you want to be really accurate you can also get your home evaluated so that you see clear with respect to its value. Once posted, it's tricky to do any changes in the price especially upwards.
It's quite a responsibility to sell your property on your own. That's exactly why so many people decide to leave it all on a real estate agency, ensuring that they can live their life, work and do their daily tasks without the unnecessary stress of showing people around, getting phone calls and facing all the people who want to haggle the price down to make themselves a good business.
It's extremely risky to start selling before you are ready to move to a place which you already have ensured for yourself. It's like getting left without a base and it's the worst case scenario. Always have the place to stay and stay elsewhere instead of your soon-to-be former home. This will also give you a great deal of emotional help in the process.

BRS drives to success in South Africa
BRS Golf in Belfast has won its first business in South Africa for its innovative software technology after visiting the market with Invest Northern Ireland.
The company has recently sold its Tee Time Management and Online Booking System to nine leading golf clubs, including the Pearl Valley parkland course in Cape Town, ranked South Africa's third most important, and the King David, also in Cape Town.
The new business in South Africa was announced by Brian Magee, Sales Manager of BRS Golf, and welcomed by Dr Vicky Kell, Invest NI Trade Director, during a visit to the company.
Dr Kell said: "BRS took advantage of our recent mission to Johannesburg to identify and sign an agreement with Andrew Warner, who runs a successful golf business there. Our in-market advisors located a knowledgeable representative to work with BRS to identify the most influential courses to approach and the best way to do so.
"South Africa is a dynamic economy offering significant opportunities for Northern Ireland companies. It has a large golf marketplace and boasts some of the world's best courses. It is also an affluent market in which technology is becoming increasingly important in relation to sports and leisure activities."
World-class venues and supporting infrastructure, top international events such as the South African Open, and South Africans' passion for sport combine to make the country a huge draw for sports fans. More than 10 per cent of foreign tourists come to South Africa to watch or participate in sport events, with spectators accounting for up to 80 per cent of these arrivals.
Mr Magee, commenting on the new business, said: "We approached Invest NI for advice and assistance on how best to expand sales outside Ireland, where 90 per cent of the top courses, including Royal Portrush, Royal County Down, K Club and Druid's Glen now use one system to manage all aspects of their bookings from societies, corporate, visitors and members.
"We identified South Africa as a market offering substantial opportunities due to the popularity there of sports and leisure pursuits and the existence of a vast network of clubs. In addition, the country has the sophisticated communications network that ensures our broadband-based system works to best advantage.
"Invest NI was extremely supportive and helped us to pinpoint Andrew Warner as a potential representative with the knowledge and network of contacts to help us in establishing a strong presence there."
The online booking system is now the market leader in the UK and Republic of Ireland because it is modular and very flexible, features which facilitate growth in booking volumes.
The system is a complete management tool for tee time bookings and includes over 50 reports delivering course usage, revenues, and facilitates the development and subsequent use of a marketing database. In addition, the system allows both members and visitors to book online through their club website. Currently 260,000 members use the system to book times for competitions and/or casual tee times. In 2011, furthermore, green fee revenue totalling £6.4 million were booked online by visitors using the system.
BRS Golf currently employs 19 people and has established in other markets such as France, Australia and the Arabian Gulf.
