Greetings, so I bought a game on the STEAM gaming application, and this usually doesn't happen to any other games except for this one. I want to add it to the whitelist, but I do not get a prompt, even when I put it in "Prompt For Override." I've also run a PC Matic scan, but either PC Matic or Supershield is still blocking it. I know that it's them because I paused the fire-wall for 10 minutes and was able to load up the game without problem. Is there not a way you can manually add something to the whitelist? If not, then I would ask if I can get some assistance with this issue.
Christin Davison posted a topic in Viruses, Spyware, AdwareSo I have been hijacked about 3 weeks ago through steam witch was used to take all of my inventory items after that I ran a scan with avg and it found a trojan and a worm I thought that ok thats done them but then I hear form a friend who got hijacked by the same person got re hijacked and said he did scanns with malwarebytes and all the usual anti-virus and malware stuff so I was scared luckily my acount is steam guarded until march the 6th I have downloaded loads of anti virus and malware software and the came up clean then i downloaded avast and it found a win32:malware-gen but that could have just been avast messing up. So then I downloaded kaspersky and it found and deleted a back door and a RAT when ever I restart windows it says in a window with netsupport a the top this file cannot be read (one of the files kaspersky deleted) please check it exists or is valid I look were it is stored and nothing is there what im asking is is my computer safe to re log into steam and email and all that stuff because formatting my hard drive is not an option for me and also if I may have help stopping that anoying pop up when ever I start windows about the start up file not being valid sorry I have not asked this question in the right place or haven't layed it out properly im very new in fact this is my first post here im pretty panicked and paranoid about what will happen

"incredible backcountry ski touring possibilities shown on this map. Tafeltinden is a great ski summit above the Strupbreen Glacier. A classic loop day tour: take a boat to Strupen and ski all the way back down to Koppangen."

Government vehicles to go without pressure horns
LUCKNOW: Government vehicles will now have to ply without pressure horns. On Thursday , the transport department conducted a statewide drive and removed pressure horns from government vehicles.
Though the department did not divulge names of the officers from whose vehicles the horns were removed, enforcement officers did not deny they had to face resentment.

The U.S. Coast Guard is asking for the public's help in identifying a person who has made numerous false distress calls from southern Maryland.
Capt. Kevin Kiefer, commander of Coast Guard Sector Baltimore, said in a news release Tuesday that the same male voice has made the calls including a total of 11 on June 21.
Kiefer says the false distress calls were found to have originated from the Leonardtown area transmitting over VHF-FM marine radio channel 16.
Kiefer says the fake calls limit the Coast Guard's ability to help boaters in emergency situations. The searches resulting from calls have cost the Coast Guard about $15,000.
Anyone who can help identify the caller is urged to contact Coast Guard Investigative Service Baltimore at 410-576-2696. A reward of $2,000 is being offered.

Think things suck now? Don't flip that dial to Russian state news agencies, or you might really be reaching for the Smirnov.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Russia's propaganda machines have lately been giving heaps of airtime to an academic named Igor Panarin, who has spent the last decade telling anyone who will listen that the U.S. is about to fall apart into all-out civil war. Over stock footage of soup kitchens and Katrina victims, Panarin predicts that "there's a 55 to 45 percent chance right now that disintegration will occur," according to the Journal.
Want to start planning for your new post-American life? Not to worry! Panarin has also been kind enough to split the U.S. into four new states in a handy map format. Florida will join it's Southern neighbors (and New Mexico for some reason), in the new "Texas Republic," which will be either part of Mexico or "under Mexican influence."
Worst news of all? Russia gets Alaska back! Nyet! What will Sarah Palin have to say about all of this?

Only Writing in my Head!
5 comments:
You just described where I am at quite often with my writing. If you do find the way past it let us know, up until now all I can do is work through it and hope eventually what's in my head will come out on the paper.ReplyDelete
It's hard to shut off editing brain while you draft. But you can get through it. I find myself rereading what I've wrote just to read it. Lol. And I also have conversations out loud when I'm not in front of my computer. My kids probably are thinking, 'there goes mom, writing out loud again'. Then I get in front of the computer, and the same thing happens to me and I don't remember what the heck I just said to myself. Maybe I need a tape recorder...ReplyDelete
I know just what you mean. It's where I am at too! I'm trying to follow Kate Grenville's Book "The Writing Guide", it helps give me a bit of structure and helps me to follow a plan. Perhaps schedule time for free writing and then time for editing/adding finer detail? Hmmm, I'm so not an expert, just throwing ideas at you!ReplyDelete
I have felt that so often. Just remember how much better your piece will be if you just get it all down and then let it breathe! I takes time to polish so don't expect perfection now. you have it in you! Keep writing!ReplyDelete
Thanks guys!!! A tape recorder is a good idea! And, Gill, I'm always looking for awesome new books on writing :)ReplyDelete
Happy Writing!

As Congress fans out across this great nation to do townhalls in districts and home states, please remember to keep us posted on what you see and hear — whether you're attending townhalls or simply seeing reports in the local press.
I just noticed this report of what John McCain had to deal with this week at a Tea Party-deluged townhall in Gilbert, Arizona.
There seem to have been two main topics of conversation: whether McCain would apologize for calling Tea Partiers hobbits and what he was going to do about the UN's plans to take away their farms.From the Arizona Republic …
Tea-party activists called McCain "out of touch" when the senator said he didn't know about United Nations "Agenda 21."One man described the initiative as a "takeover of the United States of America by taking over our farms."
"First, our firearms, then our farms," another man added.
McCain said no Congress would allow that to happen, but that didn't satisfy several in the room who subscribed to the theory.
Gilbert has been a hotbed for the conservative tea-party movement for a few years, and groups have organized anti-tax rallies there and had a growing influence on local elections.
As the townhall broke up, another disgruntled attendee repeatedly shouted: "Where's our fence?"
What's up in your local town hall? Please let us know. Send an email to our comments email address at the upper right hand corner of the site.

In the late 1970s, when you ordered coffee to go, you usually had to tear a hole in the plastic lid if you wanted to drink through it. This maneuver was so awkward that you risked burning your hand. So in the 1980s, a number of food-packaging engineers tried to fix the problem. William and Kenneth Dart, of the Dart Container Corporation, created one of the first of a new breed of coffee-cup lids, filing a patent in 1981 for a plastic disc with a press-down tab that acted like a valve. The inventors called this feature a "lip-engaging buttress"; you pushed on it with your upper lip to release a gulp of coffee. Once you finished drinking, the tab snapped back into place to prevent spills. (Kenneth Dart, who made a fortune in this and other business ventures, later renounced his citizenship and moved to Belize, where he was exempt from U.S. taxes.)
The Dart Container Corporation's lids — and most others like it — were designed to discourage customers from pulling a lid off a boiling-hot cup of coffee. But people continued to do it anyway. Most famously, Stella Liebeck scalded herself in 1992 while prying off the lid of a McDonald's coffee cup. She sued and was initially awarded $2.86 million in damages. "That sent America's garage inventors to work," Phil Patton, a design historian, says. After Liebeck v. McDonald's, plastic lids were covered in warning labels. And "once they started printing 'Caution' on their lids, the chain restaurants like Wendy's realized that they could print their logos as well," he says. Companies also began adding "dimples" so that the server could indicate whether the coffee contained cream or sugar.
Because of the number of variations on the basic design, it's difficult to attribute the modern coffee lid to a single inventor. Louise Harpman, an architect who, along with her partner, Scott Specht, owns what is perhaps the world's largest collection of disposable lids, has scoured 7-Elevens and latte bars for new specimens. "Everywhere in America, we found regional differences," she says. She is partial to the elegant Solo Traveler lid with a hole that doles out coffee in sips. Designed by Jack Clements, the lid was included in a Museum of Modern Art exhibit of "humble masterpieces." "I think Scott and I might have a first-run 1986 Solo Traveler in our collection," Harpman says. It's impossible to know, of course. The lids aren't date-stamped.
Patton is a fan of lids designed to sit above a fancy coffee drink without damaging its peaks of foam. With a gently domed roof and curved entryway, he says, it "looks like an architect's model of a civic center."
Aaron Panone designed a reusable, drink-though lid that fits on a Mason jar. The lid, called the Cuppow, made its debut last year; customers have bought more than a quarter-million of them.
Who came up with the idea? My business partner, Josh Resnikoff, was driving back from a farmers' market, drinking coffee out of a Mason jar, when he hit a bump and the coffee spilled. His wife said, "I wish there was something that would make it easier to drink out of the jars."
Why was she so determined to drink out of a jar? Josh's wife, Christine, had a kimchi business, so she had hundreds of pickling jars at the house. They had jars around; we all had jars around. Josh came to me and said, "Hey, I have this idea," and I was like, "Really?" At the time, I was designing medical devices, industrial equipment and bike tools. But eventually I came around.
Your lid is made out of "food grade" plastic. What does that mean, exactly? I'm a mechanical engineer, and Josh is a biomedical engineer, so we did our homework. We soaked different materials in coffee for months to test them. Are there dangerous chemicals in this? Is it going to stain? Is this going to rot? We've switched the material a couple times to improve our footprint. We use 100 percent recycled material. Our entire supply chain is within an hour of our office.
Who are your customers? Japan thinks it's cool. And the Canadians love us. We also get orders from canners and moonshiners.

If this balmy weather inspires visions of tropical blue waters and breezy shorts, you're not alone. This weekend, Jackson Square boutique Eden + Eden hosted a preview of the versatile, breezy Spring 2013 collection from 2 x 3, a small collaboration between San Francisco stylists-turned-designers Joanne Duong & Pauline Montupet.
The two women produce three pieces for each collection (hence, the name). For this, their fourth, they produced an organic cotton knit tank, organic hemp silk shorts and a matching shirt, in addition to five different styles of cord necklaces that include chrome, brass and powder-coated beads. The hand-dyed colors evoked the islands: Robin's egg, cornflower, soft grey, lemon, melon and Cayman Island green among them.
Montupet, who studied at the Fashion Institute of Technology, and Duong, who studied art and photography at San Francisco State University, met while freelance styling for The Gap. They became friends and started their 2×3 project as a "labor of love," Duong says.
While showing their separates at Eden + Eden, they explained that their similar design sensibilities balance each other out. Montupet tends to be more "structured and tailored," she says, and Duong adds a more fluid, draping aesthetic. Ultimately, they share design duties to produce their sporty, minimal line between styling projects, with Montupet focusing on the pattern making, and Duong more on jewelry.
"Our inspiration is what we like, what we want in our closet," Duong says. Their styling experience also informs what they create. They hand-dye organic hemp silk and cotton from a local supplier, chosen because of the way the natural fabrics drape.
"Styling has helped with fit and wearability," Montupet explains. "And different ways you would put things together. The pieces all kind of work together."
"We try not to think about it too much," Duong says. "It's not overworked, not too precious."
Just like the perfect tropical getaway.
2 x 3 is available at Eden + Eden at 560 Jackson St. in San Francisco, at the General Store in Venice Beach and at GunGun in Copenhagen. In May, 2 x 3 will launch an e-commerce boutique at Mr. Larkin, www.mrlarkin.net. The clothing prices are $125-$195 and necklaces are $95-$125.

Diamondbacks beat Cubs 7-5 on Wrigley's 100th
CHICAGO (AP) — On the 100th anniversary of the first game at Wrigley Field, the team with the worst record in the major leagues won.
And it wasn't the Chicago Cubs.
After an error by shortstop Starlin Castro, the Arizona Diamondbacks rallied for five runs in the ninth inning and 7-5 victory Wednesday.
Martin Prado hit a two-run single off Pedro Strop (0-2), Miguel Montero had a tying single against James Russell and Aaron Hill followed with a two-run triple off Justin Grimm.
"These guys come in here with a good attitude. I've been saying it every day," Arizona manager Kirk Gibson said. "Just the couple of breaks we got — especially when the ball hit the bag. That was a great break."
But there also was bad news for the Diamondbacks. An MRI revealed outfielder Mark Trumbo has a stress fracture in his left foot and will be sidelined an undetermined length of time.
Trumbo will travel to Arizona for a second opinion from Dr. Michael Lee before a timetable is set for his return. Although he was hitting only .210, though he is tied for the NL lead with seven homers and was second with 19 RBIs.
The MRI also showed plantar fasciitis in his left foot, which Trumbo has been dealing with since spring training.
"The plantar (fasciitis) at times has been pretty bad but manageable," Trumbo said. "That's what you have to do. You've got to earn a living and play. This was to the point where I severely had to compensate running-wise to the point where I probably wouldn't be much of an asset on either side."
Wrigley Field, the second-oldest in the major leagues behind 102-year-old Fenway Park in Boston, opened on April 23, 1914, when the Federal League's Chicago Federals beat the Kansas City Packers 9-1.
Fans sang "Happy Birthday" in the middle of the fifth inning, the Cubs wore Federals' uniforms and the Diamondbacks wore Kansas City Packers' threads.
Before a crowd of 32,323 — about 9,000 under capacity — the Cubs led 5-2 in the ninth. Strop walked Chris Owings on four pitches and Castro allowed Tony Campana's grounder to kick off his glove for an error. Castro tried to keep his left leg on second as he retrieved the ball, and second base umpire Brian O'Nora called the sliding Owings safe — a decision confirmed by the replay umpire in New York.
Pinch-hitter Eric Chavez walked on a full count, loading the bases, and Gerardo Parra struck out. Prado's bouncer up the middle bounded off second base, eluding second baseman Darwin Barney and kicking into short right-center field as the Diamondbacks closed to 5-4.
"Barney probably would've got it, and we would've gotten one run out of it," Gibson said. "Instead it lets the guys advance another base. It was a big hit."
Strop struck out Paul Goldschmidt for the second out. Montero fouled off a 2-2 pitch, took a ball, and then lined a tying single to right. Hill blooped a ball down the right-field line and Justin Ruggiano injured his left hamstring as he tried for a sliding catch near the foul line and the bullpen mound. He needed assistance to leave the field and was replaced by Ryan Kalish.
"That was a weird inning," Cubs manager Rick Renteria said. "I've never seen a ball hit the corner of a bag on a ground ball. I know that the way the inning initially started opening up wasn't too good either, but that's a first one for me."
Trevor Cahill (1-3) pitched two scoreless innings, for Arizona (6-18), which ended a four-game losing streak, and Addison Reed got his fourth save as the Cubs went quietly in a 1-2-3 ninth.
"One of the good things about this team is just everybody keeps being positive," Prado said.
Arizona's Wade Miley gave up five runs — three earned — and four hits in five innings. He walked three batters and struck out seven.
"I'm not sure what we've needed but that always helps," Miley said of the ninth. "The walks got me in trouble. I had 90 pitches in the fifth inning, again. That really can't happen. I've got to get past that. As a group we have to get past that. The offense did an unbelievable job."
NOTES: Cubs starter Jeff Samardzija allowed two runs and seven hits in 7 1-3 innings and is winless in 11 starts since beating San Diego on Aug. 24. ... Arizona OF A.J. Pollock (neck stiffness) didn't start but pinch-ran in the ninth.

There was a time when I tried to, if not like Girls, at least attempt to see why some people saw value in it. There were a few things that came out of it that were good — Adam Driver, mostly, but its cast was always really stellar, even when the material didn't match their talents. It's also not a show that has aged particularly well even though it only ended last year, as its focus on aimless white privilege has become an increasingly unnecessary take. Adding to all of this is the fact that Lena Dunham, bearer of the unironic yet totally off-base "voice of generation" title (which started out as a satirical line on the show), has become now become the actual voice of problematic former faves.
All of this is to say, it's hard to get excited for a new TV series from Dunham, which HBO has bestowed upon her and former Girls EP Jenni Konner. The eight-episode Camping is being adapted from a UK series of the same name, and as Variety is reporting, it will star Jennifer Garner as Kathryn Siddell-Bauers, described by Dunham and Konner as
"messy, tough and provocative and really really fun. We love Jennifer's restraint and comedic timing, and we can't wait for the warmth and intelligence she'll bring to our central character, Kathryn. It's truly a dream to have her first on our call sheet. Now we just have to write her some stunts."
The series is set around, of course, a camping trip that goes awry, one that (according to the trade) "becomes a weekend of tested marriages and woman on woman crime that won't soon be forgotten." Yeah, no thanks. Another show that focuses on women tearing each other down is not new or particularly interesting. I haven't seen the UK original, but sometimes that kind of wonderfully dry English humor can get very lost in American translation. But it remains to be seen, I suppose.

Find Hostels all over the World
Unbelievable architectural experience
Masterpieces of Barcelona
It's a work of art itself, and if that's not enough, some of the most beautiful buildings and other artworks are hosted there: Barcelona, an unbelievable architectural experience. There is the largest concentration of Gaudi's work, such as the Sagrada Familia, Park Guell and Casa Batllo, all world heritage sites. The Gothic architecture is also present in Barcelona's masterpieces, as imposing as Contemporary art, represented by Nouvel's Torre Agbar.
Starting in chronological order, one of the most known Gothic constructions is the Palau Reial Major, residence for the counts of barcelona and later, for the Kings of Aragon. It has an octagonal tower, with a single aisle with a barrel vaulted ceiling, and ends with a polygonal apse. The complex is open to public from 10am to 7pm, with a fee of 7 euros.
The Santa Maria del Mar is another impressing example of Gothic architecture. Located in Ribera district, it's hard to have a complete view of the facade, available only in Plaça de Santa Maria and Fossar de les Moreres. The inner side is luminous and spacious, with three aisles forming a single space with no transepts between nave and presbytery.
This architectural style gave Gaudi and other Modernists inspiration to create their beauties in Barcelona. The Palau de la Musica Catalana, designed by Lluis Domenech i Montaner and built between 1905 and 1908 for the choir Orfeo Catala, also placed in Ribera district. In the building the curves are predominant rather than lines, and dynamic shapes preferred than static forms. The building is designed with glasses covering a central metal structure, exposing natural light, outstanding the sculptures, mosaics, stained glasses and ironworks.
The Palau offers guided tours throughout the building for 17 euros. The most known of Gaudi's works, Basilica and Expiatory Church of the Holy Family, is a catholic unfinished church, with three façades, the Nativity, the Passion and the Glory, which construction began in 2002, being the largest and the most monumental, depicting many scenes as the seven deadly sins, purgatory and hell. The Nave, Crypt, Museum, Shop, and the Passion and Nativity towers are open to visitors
Skipping to contemporary art, the Torre Agbar marks the gateway to the technological district of Barcelona, and according to its designer, Jean Nouvel, the shape of the building was inspired by a geysel sprouting shape. Once finished, in 2004, the skyscrapers became an icon of the city, attracting the tourists that come to visit Barcelona.

One of the things that my school does for its new teachers is to encourage them to go out and see the wider world of English Teacherdom. In this case, it meant sending me to the JALT 2010 Conference here in Nagoya. For those who don't know, JALT is the Japan Association for Language Teaching, one of the biggest such groups in Japan, and its national conference draws tons of people as presenters and participants. There are companies selling books and resources, professionals peddling their wares and their curricula, and lots of people trying to steal ideas from each other. Good fun.
Having more or less finished with the conference (there's still a half day to go tomorrow), I am of two minds.
There were certainly a lot of creative ideas around, many of which I will be taking back with me. I went to workshops and talks on error correction, writing, the use of humor in the classroom, and the use of logic puzzles. I saw a production of Henry IV which gave me some ideas for my drama class, and picked up some books which, while they may not be entirely helpful right now, should definitely be an advantage in planning for next year. So, from the practical side, it was a worthwhile event.
But there's a social side to it as well, one that I'm less comfortable with. Lot of people seemed to know each other, and I knew barely anyone. Two other teachers from my school went, but one stayed only for Saturday and the other had to go back today. So by the time the big old wine-and-cheese, backslapping, Irish pub music hootenanny started in the evening, I knew basically no one. And all I could think about was getting out of there, away from the camaraderie and the shop talk and the forced cheerfulness.
I'm sure they're all nice people and all, but overlaid on top of my natural dislike of socializing and meeting new people there is a general feeling that I'm not really one of them, despite having spent over a decade teaching English in Japan. These are people who can use phrases like, "establishing the pedagogical effectiveness of negotiated interaction" without skipping a beat or, as I wanted to do, giggling at the ridiculous level of buzzwording going on. Speakers threw out names and the titles of articles as though it were a given that I should know who B. Laufer was and why his work on passive and active vocabulary would be valuable to know. They passionately debated the benefits and drawbacks of student evaluations as though that argument would decide the issue once and for all.
I just wanted a few new tricks to use in the classroom.
So, it's 8:30 in the evening on a Sunday night, and I'm where I was last night and Friday night – in my hotel room. Because despite being one of them, I don't feel like One Of Them, and the idea of trying to infiltrate my way into that crowd just strikes me as futile and desperate.
It's not you, JALT. It's me.

BHF 'upset but undeterred' by Appeal Court ruling
Until the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) comes up with acceptable tariff guidelines or the courts definitively rule on the validity of regulations governing prescribed minimum benefits (PMBs), internecine warfare in the healthcare industry is set to continue.
That is the effect of last month's dismissal by the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) of an application by the Board of Healthcare Funders (BHF) to have declared invalid a year-old finding by the High Court in Pretoria. In November last year, Judge Cynthia Pretorius found that the BHF had no locus standi1 to ask for a ruling on the correct interpretation of Regulation 8 of the Medical Schemes Act. She ordered that the BHF pay what will amount to several million rands in costs for senior counsel representing 13 respondents, which included the Council for Medical Schemes (CMS), the National Minister of Health, the Pharmaceutical Society of South Africa, Medi-Clinic SA Ltd, Multiple Sclerosis South Africa, National Renal Care and the South African Medical Association. That hefty legal bill must now be paid and, Izindaba reliably learns, there is a high probability that the BHF will change tack and make yet another court bid, this time challenging the legal validity of Regulation 8 - so problematic is it to their members.
]]> Application 'fatally defective'
In the original court case Judge Pretorius said there was merit in the CMS's contention that the 'non-joinder' of all medical schemes in papers submitted by the BHF (it cited only 15 of the claimed 75 members) rendered the application fatally defective. She said all medical schemes should have been joined as the judgement would have a direct impact on them all (both the Medical Schemes Act and its Regulations refer to all medical schemes in South Africa).
A court ruling on the gaping chasm in the interpretation of Regulation 8 would bring to an end a four-year dispute between the BHF, which represents most medical schemes, and the CMS - the regulatory supervisor of private healthcare financing. The conflict ramped up in a test case in November 2008 when the CMS's Appeal Board ruled that service providers must 'pay in full' all invoices related to the costs of providing healthcare services for PMBs - without taking the rules of the respective medical scheme into consideration. These rules significantly diminish their liability and, argues the BHF, are fundamental to the future existence of its member schemes.
In a testy response to the SCA ruling, Dr Humphrey Zokufa MD of the BHF, asked why the other respondent organisations in the court hearing had not had their locus standi questioned, claiming the ruling set a 'severely negative' precedent for other major industry representative organisations wishing to act on behalf of their members, such as the Chamber of Mines, BUSA (Business Unity, South Africa) and SANTACO (the South African National Taxi Council).
Significance of issue underrated by courts: Zokufa
'We'd like to believe that we operate in a country where constitutional rights are taken seriously and the justice system is fair. However, we do not feel that this case has been given the necessary significance to demonstrate fairness by the courts. We therefore consider it our duty to explore ways of taking this matter forward in a responsible and constructive way, as we have done in the past,' he said.]]> Izindaba interviews with players in the saga revealed that it is unlikely the BHF will take the SCA ruling to the Constitutional Court, given that Judge Pretorius found the section relevant to locus standi in the Constitution inapplicable in her judgement.
BHF spokesperson Heidi Kruger said that if the HPCSA had managed to set maximum tariff guidelines which 'everybody agreed on, it would allay many of the current problems. But the history of Regulation 8 is that the CMS says medical schemes have to pay whatever the doctor charges.
It amounts to open-ended liability.' In the current uncertain climate, doctors charge whatever they choose while medical aids pay doctors out at their own (medical aid) rates, leaving the patient to make co-payments or negotiate the doctor's tariff downward.
Without tariff guidelines, litigation 'the only way' - BHF
Kruger told Izindaba that there had been 'no option' but to take the matter to the SCA. 'We had to take it to its ultimate end. Now we're weighing up the best way to take the issue forward. While there is no tariff we must pursue legal options. The HPCSA tariff process must include one universal coding and tariff system for the entire industry, one that is fair and affordable for all.'
Asked what she and Zokufa meant by 'exploring legal options' and 'taking the matter forward', she declined to rule out either an approach to the Constitutional Court or 'another application on Regulation 8', confirming that the latter would probably test the regulation's legal validity.
In August this year, shortly after a BHF conference where speakers set the healthcare industry alight, the HPCSA issued a set of what SAMA labelled 'highly unscientific' low-ceiling tariff guidelines. They caused a furore among doctors, forcing the council back to the drawing board. A multi-stakeholder HPCSA committee probing the real costs of healthcare and coding issues is being touted as the best way to come up with a more realistic set of tariff guidelines - but until then the BHF has vowed to forge ahead with court action.
Basic distrust between funders and providers]]> In an exclusive interview with Izindaba at the BHF conference which ended in the Drakensberg on 1 August, Zokufa was asked about PMBs and the 'free for all' on tariffs in the absence of 'consensus' guidelines.1 He drew an analogy with companies manufacturing car parts but 'having acrimony' with car makers themselves. 'They come up with a good product for my car. We decide on what is a good price. You survive and I survive. That's not happening in this industry.' He said that once the legislative framework for taking care of 8.2 million lives was set up, the industry failed to create an environment in which funders and providers saw each other as 'being on the same side of the same coin, all targeting the patient'. The basic underlying problem included an absence of trust between funders and providers and a lack of transparency in the system. 'Maybe healthcare has been steered too much to the commercial side of it ... commercialism in health is then run along the lines of how people run a corporate business. I think we've gone overboard. There is a line in the sand that must not be crossed. I don't think we know where that line is . I don't think medical schemes and providers are sensitive to where that line is. It's what drives the lack of trust,' he added.
This is one money-driven soap opera that, like the TV drama Dallas, will run and run, especially as it tries to tap into opportunities and/or adapts to threats posed by the country's biggest-ever oil well - National Health Insurance.
* locus standi - the ability of a party to demonstrate to the court sufficient connection to and harm from the law or action challenged to support that party's participation in the case.

Atlantic County Public Health Profile Report
Deaths due to Alzheimer's Disease: Deaths per 100,000 Standardized Population, 2015-2017
Atlantic24.0 95% Confidence Interval(20.6 - 27.4)Description of the Confidence IntervalThe confidence interval indicates the range of probable true values for the level of risk in the community.
A value of "NA" (Not Available) will appear if the confidence interval was not published with the NJSHAD indicator data for this measure.
State21.3 U.S.30.3
Atlantic Compared to State
Description of Gauge
Description of the GaugeThis graphic is based on the county data to the left. It compares the county value of this indicator to the state overall value.
The county value is considered statistically significantly different from the state value if the state value is outside the range of the county's 95% confidence interval. If the county's data or 95% confidence interval information is not available, a blank gauge image will be displayed with the message, "missing information."NOTE: The labels used on the gauge graphic are meant to describe the county's status in plain language. The placement of the gauge needle is based solely on the statistical difference between the county and state values. When selecting priority health issues to work on, a county should take into account additional factors such as how much improvement could be made, the U.S. value, the statistical stability of the county number, the severity of the health condition, and whether the difference is clinically significant.
- Excellent = The county's value on this indicator is BETTER than the state value, and the difference IS statistically significant.
- Watch = The county's value is BETTER than state value, but the difference IS NOT statistically significant.
- Improvement Needed = The county's value on this indicator is WORSE than the state value, but the difference IS NOT statistically significant.
- Reason for Concern = The county's value on this indicator is WORSE than the state value, and the difference IS statistically significant.
Why Is This Important?Alzheimer's disease is the sixth leading cause of death among U.S. and New Jersey residents. In New Jersey, it was the seventh leading cause of death from 2007 to 2014, eighth from 2004 to 2006, and tenth from 1998 to 2003. Prior to that it was not in the top ten. [https://www-doh.state.nj.us/doh-shad/view/sharedstatic/LCODtable.pdf More info]
How Are We Doing?The age-adjusted death rate due to Alzheimer's disease continues to rise. In New Jersey, more than 2,800 deaths annually are due to Alzheimer's disease. In the total population and among each racial/ethnic group, females have significantly higher death rates than males. Alzheimer's disease is the fourth leading cause of death among women and eighth among men in New Jersey. The age-adjusted death rate due to Alzheimer's disease is highest among Whites in New Jersey. Alzheimer's disease is the third leading cause of death among persons aged 85 years and over. County rates per 100,000 population (age-adjusted) range from a low of 10.7 in Hunterdon to a high of 29.9 in Camden.
What Is Being Done?The New Jersey Department of Human Services' [http://www.state.nj.us/humanservices/doas/home/alzheimer.html Alzheimer's Adult Day Services Program] partially subsidizes the purchase of adult day care services for persons with Alzheimer's disease or a related dementia.

The panel will discuss the evolving law and public policy issues related to these cases and the broader topic of aggregation.
Some of the most popular
websites are based upon the aggregation of other parties' published news,
photos, television clips and other content.
Aggregators who collect and post third-party content tout the utility of
their "one-stop viewing" sites and argue that theirs is a fair use of the
content. Content owners, however,
complain that aggregators profit from their content without providing fair
compensation, and that they are not benefiting from the recent surge in
digital advertising revenues received by big technology companies such as
Google and Facebook. This panel will
discuss the legal issue underlying the debate: when does aggregation constitute fair use and when does it go too
Two recent decisions in the
Southern District of New York have re-focused attention on this increasingly
important topic: The Associated Press v. Meltwater, in which the court ruled that a
media monitoring service's aggregation of news story excerpts provided to
paying subscribers was not fair use, and Authors
Guild v. HathiTrust (now on appeal to the Second Circuit), in which the
court upheld the creation of an index based on Google's scanning of millions of
books in its library project as fair use.
Further, in September Judge Chin heard oral argument in Authors Guild v. Google on whether the
posting of book excerpts on Google Books qualifies as fair use, and Fox News
recently sued TVEYES, an aggregator of clips from television broadcasts. The panel will discuss the evolving law and
public policy issues related to these cases and the broader topic of

In response to a motion for preliminary injunction filed by attorneys with the Jubilee Campaign's Law of Life Project and Thomas More Society, the Federal District Court in Chicago today ordered that the Federal Government may not enforce its contraception mandate on Plaintiffs Triune Health Group and its owners
CHICAGO -- Triune Health Group and its owners, Christopher and Mary Anne Yep, represented by attorneys with the Jubilee Campaign's Law of Life Project and Thomas More Society, are among the dozens of employers around the country challenging the HHS required coverage of contraception, sterilization and abortifacients on religious liberty grounds.
The Yeps, devoted Catholics, embrace a belief which is embedded in Triune's mission statement that each individual be "treated with the human dignity and respect that God intended." The Obamacare mandate, administered by HHS and the other federal agencies named in the lawsuit requires the company to provide abortion-related and contraceptive coverage for its employees and their
families, which imposes a gravely oppressive burden on the Yeps' deeply held religious beliefs.
"We applaud the court's decision to enjoin pending further litigation the imposition of these unnecessary and unconstitutional federal regulatory requirements. The federal governments ought not to be able coerce our clients to violate their conscientious convictions in a fashion that is completely at odds with the resounding declarations of our Founding Fathers and our modern Supreme Court jurisprudence," said Samuel B. Casey, Managing Director and General Counsel for the Jubilee Campaign's Law of Life Project. Mr. Casey also had high praise for the Yeps' courage in standing up for their fundamental rights, applauding the Yeps for "taking a stand to defend their right to run their business in a way that does not conflict with their faith and religious free conscience."
Mr. Casey concluded: "The Yeps and their company, Triune Health Group, are far from alone. More than 47 lawsuits like the Yeps' federal suit are pending in the federal courts with some courts granting the preliminary injunctive relief requested and others declining to do so. We are particularly encouraged that the Court today, pending further litigation, enjoined the HHS from applying the federal contraceptive mandate to our client health management company."
The most recent polling data from December 2012 shows Americans support a religious exemption to the HHS contraceptive mandate for individuals and organizations like the Yeps and Triune.
The Obama Administration has defended forcing private employers to provide insurance coverage for abortion-inducing drugs, sterilization, and contraception, with an argument that people of faith forfeit their religious liberties once they opt to engage in business. The Triune case also asserts the primacy of religious liberties and free speech on behalf of a private company and its owners, who view business as a form of religious stewardship and an integral part of their lives as faithful Roman Catholics. By issuing its Order today granting a preliminary injunction that Court has indicated that it believe Triune is likely to prevail on these claims.
Triune Health Group has won public plaudits, not only as "the best" employer for women but also as an outstanding employer for everybody, having also placed very high on Crain's 2012 "Best Place to Work" list.

For questions generally related to bicycle sports, including road racing (sprint and long-distance), velodrome, mountain cycling/cyclocross, BMX and stunt bicycling. Also related to combination events such as triathlons. Another place for questions about this topic might be bicycles.SE site, in particular (racing) tag.
A bicycle is a two-wheeled, human pedal-powered vehicle, commonly used for everyday transportation especially in urban areas. As a sport, bicycles are commonly raced on and off-road, with several forms of stunt cycling recently becoming popular as "extreme sports" featured in the Summer X Games.
Road bicycling is contested on paved outdoor courses many miles long, divided into sprint and endurance races, and racers typically use a lightweight medium- to large-frame bicycle with large-diameter, narrow-rimmed wheels with grooved or slick tires, narrow handlebars with a downward curve allowing a more tucked rider position, and multiple gears for varying slopes and speeds. The most famous endurance race is the multi-stage Tour de France, in which competing teams of cyclists, each with a star "anchor" cyclist and several "support" riders, race in various courses called "stages" located around France, from Paris to the Pyrenees Mountains, including both sprints (time trials) and longer endurance races (some of them up to 200 miles in a single stage)
Velodrome bicycling is a form of sprint cycling done indoors on a special banked oval track called the velodrome. The bicycle used is specialized, mostly similar to a road cycle, but with no brakes and only one gear, and optimized for aerodynamics over extreme light weight, with teardrop tube shaping and aerodynamic "shells" over the spokes of the wheels. An event can be between 1km and 30km depending on the exact race, and can be either an individual event with contestants racing in pairs or as heats of up to 9 racers, or a team event with two or more teams of three, four or five cyclists each taking turns "drafting" behind each other, usually in much longer events.
BMX or "bicycle motocross" is performed on a bare dirt track similar to its parent sport of motocross, which uses a motorcycle. The course is typically artificially constructed with hills, bumps, ramps and banked curves, and is often enclosed in a stadium for spectator events. The bicycle used has a sturdy small to medium frame, strong wheels with knobby off-road tires, and usually a single gear. Racers compete in heats of up to a dozen cyclists at once, and the events are usually simple distance races; the first to complete one or two laps of the course wins.
Mountain cycling is an off-road form of cycling most commonly undertaken for recreation, but also used for racing. The venue is typically a trail or other path through natural terrain up to and including steep rocky slopes, though sometimes a dirt track similar to BMX is used for sprint races. A common variant is "downhill cycling" in which a course on a long slope is artificially created with ramps, and rises. A mountain bike is typically a medium-framed cycle with sturdy large-diameter tubing, often with shock absorbers in the front or rear, straight handlebars allowing high leverage, wide-rimmed wheels with wide knobby tires, and multiple gears. Larger variants without shock absorbers and/or less pronounced tire tread are known as "trail bikes" and are suitable for general recreational use on paved or gravel roads and trails, but not the more advanced mountain climbing.
Cyclocross is a hybrid of road and mountain biking, using a bicycle similar in general appearance to a road bike but smaller and with off-road tires. Racers compete in heats around a relatively short course - 1 to 2 miles - with terrain ranging from paved asphalt to concrete to grass and bare dirt. It is unique among cycling formats in that many situations require the rider to dismount, pick up and carry their bike across an obstacle such as a steep incline or over hurdles, before setting down and re-mounting their bike for the next portion.
Stunt biking is a variant born from BMX racing, in which the focus is on the skill and creativity of the rider in performing tricks, instead of speed and agility around a track. The bicycle typically used depends on the exact event but is usually similar in form and construction to a BMX bike, often with the addition of extensions to the two axles called "pegs" that the rider can stand on, and in smaller or larger frame and wheel sizes depending on rider preference and the exact format. Formats are similar to those used for skateboarding or dirt bike stunts, including the "vert ramp" (half-pipe), "flatland" (no ramps or obstacles), "park" (varying from a "flatland" course with added wooden ramps up to hybrids of a "vert ramp" imitating a dry swimming pool) and "street" (using the "flatland" course with added ramps, rises, stairs, handrails and other "everyday" obstacles), as well as "dirt jump" (similar in theory to ski jumping, a long downhill run-up to a large dirt ramp allows riders to have very long "hang times" for extreme flips and other tricks) and "dirt park" (similar to the "park" format but with a dirt surface instead of concrete and wood).
Another possible place to ask questions about this topic is Bicycles Stack Exchange, which has the racing tag for questions related to competitive bicycle riding.

The Prophet (saws) said, "To worship Him (Allah) Alone and to join none in worship with Him (Allah). Do you know what their right upon Him is?" I replied, "Allah and His Apostle know best." The Prophet (saws) said, "Not to punish them (if they do so)." (Sahih Bukhari)
The meaning of Tawheed and its categories:
Praise be to Allaah.
Praise be to Allaah and blessings and peace be upon His Messenger and Chosen Prophet.
Tawheed in Arabic means attributing Oneness to Allaah and describing Him as being One and Unique, with no partner or peer in His Essence and Attributes.
The Arabs say waahid, ahad and waheed, all meaning one. Allaah is Waahid, meaning that He has no rivals or peers in any way. So Tawheed means knowing Allaah is One, with none like unto Him. Whoever does not acknowledge Allaah in these terms and does not describe Him as being One with no partner or associate does not believe in Tawheed.
With regard to the shar'i definition of Tawheed, it means believing in Allaah alone as God and Lord and attributing to Him alone all the attributes of Lordship and divinity.
It may be defined as follows: Believing that Allaah is One with no partner or associate in His Lordship (ruboobiyyah), divinity (uloohiyyah) or names and attributes (al-asma' wa'l-sifaat).
This word (Tawheed) and its derivatives are used with this meaning in the Qur'aan and Sunnah. For example:
Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
Say, "He is Allah , [who is] One,
Allah , the Eternal Refuge.
He neither begets nor is born,
Nor is there to Him any equivalent."
[al-Ikhlaas 112:1-4]
And your god is one God. There is no deity [worthy of worship] except Him, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.
[al-Baqarah 2:163]
They have certainly disbelieved who say, " Allah is the third of three." And there is no god except one God. And if they do not desist from what they are saying, there will surely afflict the disbelievers among them a painful punishment.
[al-Maa'idah 5:73]
And there are many similar verses.
In Saheeh al-Bukhaari (7372) and Saheeh Muslim (19) it is narrated that Ibn 'Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: When the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) sent Mu'aadh ibn Jabal to Yemen, he said to him: "You are going to people from among the People of the Book, so let the first thing to which you call them be belief in Allaah alone (Tawheed). If they accept that, then tell them that Allaah has enjoined on them five prayers every day and night. If they pray then tell them that Allaah has enjoined on them zakaah from their wealth to be taken from their rich and given to their poor. If they agree to that then take it from them but avoid the best of people's wealth."
In Saheeh Muslim it is narrated from Ibn 'Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "Islam is built on five (pillars): belief that Allaah is One, establishing regular prayer, paying zakaah, fasting Ramadaan and Hajj."
What is meant by Tawheed in all these texts is affirming the meaning of the testimony that there is no god but Allaah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allaah, which is the essence of the religion of Islam with which Allaah sent His Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), based on the evidence of the words of the Qur'aan and Sunnah. In some versions of the hadeeth of Mu'aadh quoted above it says: "You will come to some people from among the People of the Book so when you come to them, call them to bear witness that there is no god except Allaah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allaah." Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 1492.
According to another version of the hadeeth of Ibn 'Umar: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "Islam is based on five (pillars): the testimony that there is no god except Allaah and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger…" Narrated by Muslim, 16.
This indicates that Tawheed is the essence of the testimony that there is no god except Allaah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allaah, and that this is Islam with which Allaah sent His Prophet to the two races of mankind and the jinn, other than which Allaah will not accept any religion from anyone.
Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
"Truly, the religion with Allaah is Islam"
[Aal 'Imraan 3:19]
"And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers"
[Aal 'Imraan 3:85]
Once this is understood, it should be noted that the scholars have divided Tawheed into three categories, as follows:
Tawheed al-Ruboobiyyah (Oneness of Divine Lordship), Tawheed al-Uloohiyyah (Oneness of Divinity) and Tawheed al-Asma' wa'l-Sifaat (Oneness of the Divine Names and Attributes).
Tawheed al-Ruboobiyyah (Oneness of Divine Lordship): means believing in Allaah as One and Unique with regard to His actions such as creation, sovereignty, control, giving life and death, and so on.
There is a great deal of evidence to support this in the Qur'aan and Sunnah.
Whoever believes that there is any creator other than Allaah or any sovereign controlling this universe and disposing of its affairs other than Allaah has denied this aspect of Tawheed and disbelieved in Allaah.
The disbelievers of old accepted this aspect of Tawheed in general terms, although they differed with regard to some of its details. The evidence that they used to accept this is to be found in several verses of the Qur'aan such as the following (interpretation of the meaning):
If you asked them, "Who created the heavens and earth and subjected the sun and the moon?" they would surely say, " Allah ." Then how are they deluded?
[al-'Ankaboot 29:61]
And if you asked them, "Who sends down rain from the sky and gives life thereby to the earth after its lifelessness?" they would surely say " Allah ." Say, "Praise to Allah "; but most of them do not reason.
[al-'Ankaboot 29:63]
And if you asked them who created them, they would surely say, " Allah ." So how are they deluded?
[al-Zukhruf 43:87]
In these verses Allaah states that the kuffaar affirm that He is the Creator, Sovereign and Controller, but despite that they do not worship Him alone (Tawheed of worship), which points to the graveness of their wrongdoing and lies, and the weakness of their reasoning. For if there is One Who is described in such terms, none should be worshipped except Him alone and none should be described as being one and unique except Him; may He be glorified above those that they associate with him.
So whoever affirms this Tawheed in the true sense must inevitably also affirm the Oneness of Allaah's Divinity (Tawheed al-Uloohiyyah).
Tawheed al-Uloohiyyah means devoting all acts of worship, both inward and outward, in word and deed, to Allaah Alone, and not worshipping anything or anyone other than Allaah, no matter who he is. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
And your Lord has decreed that you not worship except Him, and to parents, good treatment.
[al-Isra' 17:23]
"Worship Allaah and join none with Him (in worship)"
[al-Nisa' 4:36]
It may be described as devoting all one's actions to Allaah alone.
It is called Tawheed al-Uloohiyyah because it is based on ta'alluh lillaah which is worship and devotion of Allaah accompanied by love and veneration.
It is also called Tawheed al-'Ibaadah (oneness of worship) because it means that a person worships Allaah by doing that which He has commanded and avoiding that which He has forbidden.
It is also called Tawheed al-Talab wa'l-Qasd wa'l-Iraadah (Oneness of goal, purpose and will) because it means that a person does not seek anything except the Face of Allaah, so he worships Him sincerely.
This is the kind of Tawheed concerning which people went astray, which is why the Prophets were sent and the Books were revealed. This is the purpose for which the universe was created and laws were prescribed. Concerning this disputes arose between the Prophets and their peoples, so the stubborn were doomed and the believers were saved.
Whoever goes astray with regard to this Tawheed, such as devoting some of his worship to someone other than Allaah, has gone beyond the pale of Islam and drifted away from true belief. May Allaah protect us from that.
With regard to Tawheed al-Asma' wa'l-Sifaat (Oneness of the Divine Names and Attributes), this means affirming the names and attributes of Allaah and believing that there is none like unto Allaah in His names and attributes. This Tawheed is based on two principles:
1 – Affirmation: i.e., affirming that which Allaah has affirmed for Himself in His Book or that His Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) has affirmed of His beautiful names and sublime attributes in a manner that suits the Majesty and Greatness of Allaah, without distorting them, twisting their meanings, denying their reality or discussing how they are.
2 – Denial: i.e., denying that Allaah has any faults and denying any shortcomings that He has denied Himself. The evidence for that is the words of Allaah (interpretation of the meaning):
"There is nothing like Him, and He is the All‑Hearer, the All‑Seer"
[al-Shoora 42:11]
So He has denied that He bears any resemblance to His creation, and affirmed that He has attributes of perfection in a manner that befits Him, may He be glorified.

I've recently decided that I'm 100% an autumn/fall girl, when it comes to seasons. I've always been partial to the shoulder seasons, but fall especially so (army green and warm oranges are so my colours). So although we're heads deep into summer, I absolutely adore it when Melbourne does the very Melbourne thing and unexpectedly (or maybe it's so unexpected we expect it) dips into blustery overcast weather.
Brad and I could not have picked a better morning to get acquainted with breakfast at Union Dining, who only recently (when I say recently I in the last month or two) started the morning offering. It was cold, windy and rainy, but just enough so. A little splash on the shoes, a squeeze on the arm as we stay close under an umbrella as we dash from the car, followed by a sigh of relief as we step in to the restaurant.
Union Dining is just class, a touch of old world with a classic fit out and the most warm and lovely waitstaff you could ever ask for.
It's the perfect place to wriggle your toes and cup your hands around a steaming hot cup of tea. I absolutely loved their crockery, made in Italy if I'm not mistaken, which just felt heavy, round and comfortable in the hands. I know, a bit of a weird thing to take notice of, but I've found that tactile experiences are pretty important to me nowadays!
I have a massively tender spot in my heart for all things German. So when I saw pan roasted frankfurts and weisswurst, dijon mustard and sauerkraut on the menu…my decision was made for me instantly. After all, it's perfect blustery weather comfort food, warm, piping hot, hearty, delicious and so satiating. Perfect for a protein hit (sure with a bit of fat involved), or if you just need a nice warm belly.
Brad went a little more traditional and got the chickpea, kale, tomato sugo and egg bake with fennel, chilli salt and ricotta salata. Oh my. This was just yum. Eggs cooked to perfection so that they looked done from above, but still had oozy yolks that just bled into all the sweet tomatoey goodness. Another beautifully hearty feed.
Honestly, I was almost reluctant to leave Union Dining after our meal. I was just so comfortable, so cosy. I could have been at home. Just give me another cup of tea and a book! Although I imagine they wouldn't want me to get too comfortable!
It seems like Union Dining will be giving the breakfast menu a little break this weekend, but hopefully it'll be back in full swing in 2016. I love that the dishes on the menu aren't too traditional (like an eggs benedict), but are still very comforting and wholesome meals. The kind of food that's just filled with love. It's the kind of breakfast I like to (or would like to!) eat on a regular basis.

Boosting light levels early in the season
No, it's not Studio 54, it's my conservatory in February.
I stepped into unknown territory this year, using a grow light for my seedlings. I'd been toying with the idea for a few years – even though the conservatory has good light, a few extra hours a day or to boost dull days would be a real help.
And it did prove handy – plants were further on, especially sweet peas and tomatoes – unfortunately, we also had a cold April which led to a logjam in the conservatory and greenhouse. Well, you can't have everything.
It also meant I could stagger my sowings even earlier – I bought four different types of Echiums, which ended up taking up a lot of room.
"We'll be having a visit from the drugs squad," moaned the other half.
It also means there's less chance of legginess with early seeds, like half-hardy annuals, tomatoes, and sweet peas.
Grow lights can be used to supplement natural light if there's not enough sun; as the sole source of lighting, or during propagation.
It's important to note this is not an ordinary light bulb – there are red, blue and orange-red elements. The red and blue parts of the spectrum are for compact foliage growth, while orange-red simulates noontime sun and encourages flowering. As I want sturdy plants, my bulb is red and blue.
My bulb was under £16 (LED Plant Grow Light, THZY 12W, E27, 3 Bands) and it fits into a desk lamp with an E27 fitting. I bought a tall one with a clamp fitting for £15 – both bulb and lamp came from Amazon. This means you don't have to invest in a permanent fixture and it's moveable.
Obviously, make sure there's a plug nearby – but out of the way of any potential water spillages.
I used a basic light timer, giving the plants 12 hours of daylight, until the end of March.
This can be increased to about 16 hours, but plants also require at least eight hours of darkness each day.
For seedlings/cuttings, the light source needs to be placed as close as possible to the plants.
Potted guide: grow lights
- NAME & PRICE: LED Plant Grow Light, THZY 12W LED Plant Grow Light For Hydroponic Garden Greenhouse (E27, 3 Bands) – £15.65
- BULBS: 12 LEDs (3 blue & 9 red).
- FEATURES: Low power consumption, does not generate noticeable heat.
- TECHY STUFF: Emits the wavelengths of light which can be fully absorbed by plants; 660 and 430nm; 630 and 460nm, four peaks of growth spectrum for maximum chlorophyll A and B production. Rich in red light for blooming and fruit and blue for promoting leaf growth.
- OTHER EQUIPMENT: Fits standard E27 socket, a desk lamp will do.

I just received notice from the organizers of the Travel Photographer Of The Year contest announcing the 2007 winners.
According to TPOTY's announcement, it received entries from 51 countries in 2007, covering every continent and, for the first time, we saw entries from Iran, Saudi Arabia and Ukraine. Over the three rounds of judging, 14 judges assessed this year's entries.
The overall winner of the Travel Photographer Of The Year title is Cat Vinton, a UK-based photographer for her work in a Mongolia.
However to me, the most interesting category was "One Planet Many Lives" won by Timothy Allen for his work in Bhutan and Nagaland, followed by Larry Louie's work on Tibetan worship. It's been an excellent year for the talented Larry, since he also won recognition in the National Geographic contest as I wrote last week.
TPOTY's One Planet Many Lives

A dark hole appeared in the fabric of the ceiling as I passed. A dark, rectangular hole – more like an aperture that had been crafted by unseen hands than a hole that had appeared as if by force or by accident. The hole seemed to vibrate and call in a silent voice. It did not say "carrera," as I had expected, but rather called a name I did not recognize, save for it being my own. My own name. A name I had never known. A name I had been given. My name.
The name seemed sweet and holy, yet I listened for only a moment. I paused, stepped forward, and then stopped. The aperture in the fabric of the ceiling led to something, I was sure, and it beckoned. Beckoned. It beckoned, but not forcefully in the least, and as I looked over my shoulder at the dark hole, it seemed to be more sad than ominous. My father had once encouraged me to look with cautious optimism toward such holes in the space-time continuum or in the fabric of reality, as he had once done this very thing while aboard a large naval vessel near a small atoll in the South Pacific. People were trying to kill one another in the distance, and a dark hole appeared above my father, who paused, and then listened to it while looking at it, likewise, over his shoulder.
I looked with cautious optimism at this hole, owing to my father's advice, and I tried to listen all the more closely as I stood motionless in the hallway. My father had heard the voice that day near the atoll, and he eventually took to heart the name spoken by his aperture. I decided that I, too, would stand quietly and listen, but as I did so the silent voice grew even more quiet – beyond silence and beyond longing, for I was beyond longing and the day was growing old. The voice repeated my name; it made a quiet 'pip' as if kissing the air; it was gone.
I turned full around to look at the dark hole, and saw nothing but the chipped-paint ceiling and the cobwebs and the dust mites and the dog hair and the pale, pale rot of time. I took my name in hand and walked beyond a small Pacific atoll – far, far beyond a small Pacific atoll.
And every day, for all eternity, I walk back across the water and strain to hear my father's name.
Don't you?

After initial reports in recent weeks that confirmed Kanye West's and Trey Songz' involvement in Game's fifth solo album, Jesus Piece, the Compton, California emcee furher elaborated to the album's personnel. Speaking at the Beats By Dre headquarters, Game confirmed guest appearances are ranging from Common (who will join Kanye West on the title track) to J. Cole, Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, Future and Young Jeezy. "Everybody on the album kinda falls under this Jesus Piece concept," said Game, who noted that the album's single is likely to be banned from television.
On the production side, Game worked extensively with his longtime collaborators, Cool & Dre. The Miami, Florida duo produced Game's breakthrough single "Hate It Or Love It," and have worked with him ever since. "Cool & Dre flew out here [to Los Angeles], and they bought a house. We've been recording for three or four months." The pair's protege Sap is also confirmed to have multiple tracks on Jesus Piece.
The Beats By Dre video interview with Game is below:

Josh Brolin will play the key role of Cable opposite Ryan Reynolds in "Deadpool 2."
Michael Shannon had been the frontrunner for the role, but the studio and Marvel have opted for Brolin, who has appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as the villain Thanos.
An official release date for the sequel has not yet been announced. "John Wick" co-director David Leitch came on board to lead "Deadpool 2" last fall after Tim Miller dropped out due to creative differences with Reynolds. The superhero sequel also recently cast "Atlanta" breakout Zazie Beetz as the mutant mercenary Domino.
"Deadpool" gave Fox its biggest hit of 2016 after opening on Valentine's Day to $782.6 million worldwide, supplanting "The Matrix Reloaded" to become the highest-grossing R-rated film in history.
Cable, a.k.a. Nathan Summers, was often paired with Deadpool in the Marvel comics — the characters even had their own 50-issue series. In the Marvel comics, he was transported as an infant to the future, where he grew into a warrior, before returning to the present.
Cable's involvement goes all the way back to the first "Deadpool," where the foul-mouthed mercenary himself teased that he'd be in the sequel during the film's post-credits scene. In the "Deadpool" scene that was shown ahead of "Logan" in theaters, a message written on a phonebooth read, "Nathan Summers cumming [yes, that's the correct spelling] soon!"
Brolin will be seen next in Lionsgate's "Granite Mountain" and with Benicio del Toro in "Soldado," the sequel to "Sicario." He also appears in George Clooney's "Suburbicon" which opens Nov. 3. He is repped by CAA and Ziffren Brittenham.
Reynolds acknowleged the casting of Brolin in a humorous tweet on his Twitter account a few hours after the announcement:

Plant cells are eukaryotic cells that differ in several key aspects from the cells of other eukaryotic organisms. Their distinctive features include:
The lead–acid battery was invented in 1859 by French physicist Gaston Planté and is the oldest type of rechargeable battery. Despite having a very low energy-to-weight ratio and a low energy-to-volume ratio, its ability to supply high surge currents means that the cells have a relatively large power-to-weight ratio. These features, along with their low cost, makes it attractive for use in motor vehicles to provide the high current required by automobile starter motors.
As they are inexpensive compared to newer technologies, lead–acid batteries are widely used even when surge current is not important and other designs could provide higher energy densities. Large-format lead–acid designs are widely used for storage in backup power supplies in cell phone towers, high-availability settings like hospitals, and stand-alone power systems. For these roles, modified versions of the standard cell may be used to improve storage times and reduce maintenance requirements. Gel-cells and absorbed glass-mat batteries are common in these roles, collectively known as VRLA (valve-regulated lead–acid) batteries.
The Plant Cell is a monthly peer-reviewed scientific journal of botany, especially the areas of cell and molecular biology, genetics, development, and evolution. It is published by the American Society of Plant Biologists. The current editor-in-chief is Cathie Martin (John Innes Centre).
According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2014 impact factor of 9.338.
In October 2009, The Plant Cell introduced Teaching Tools in Plant Biology, a new online feature consisting of materials to help instructors teach plant biology courses. Each topic includes a short essay introducing the topic, with suggested further readings, and a PowerPoint lecture with handouts.
In the context of human physiology, the term cell physiology often specifically applies to the physiology of membrane transport, neuron transmission, and (less frequently) muscle contraction. In general, these cover the digestion of food, circulation of blood, and contraction of muscles and, therefore, are important aspects of human physiology. For a more complete description of the general physiological function of human cells (as well as the cells of other life forms), see the article on cell biology.
There are two types of cells, Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes.
Prokaryotes first came into existence and contain no self-contained nucleus, therefore making their mechanisms much simpler compared to the later-evolved Eukaryotes, which do contain a nucleus enveloping the cell's DNA and nuclear organelles. Because viruses, viroids, prions and such (see Acytota/Aphanobionta) depend entirely on the physiology of other cells (i.e., cells containing their own physiology), the former entities are often not considered to be "living" by the biologists who study them.

|ask my little chubbies
Back in April before she became famous (or infamous, whatever) for putting together BroNYcon, Purple Tinker put together the Celestia font. It was made to look like the text font that was used in the title image for the show.
The unfortunate part is that the font used in the logo isn't a one time font used just for the show, they used a font called Generation B, if you are looking for that for your projects and art, you can find it for purchase here, hope you have 20 dollars to blow on fonts.
Because this was an actual font, people started getting up in PT's face because she was trying to make something similar, so she stopped working on it.
MattyHex has decided to redo the entire thing and make it different from Generation B, while still holding the spirit of the show and looking familiar to us.
