Working in the ad industry, my eyes are always open to what people put out here commercially. Be it its medium, message or material, Dubai has a different audience to the West and brands have to be tactful when plastering an ad here. It has to be safe, yet sexy. At the end of the day, many of Dubai's audiences have conservative values, and brands should and do respect them.
One such ad caught my eye recently. In the bathroom of People by Crystal. Both elegant and sensual, and tastefully executed, the ad was for Axe Dark Temptation and Axe Gold Temptation.
The mirror medium was exploited wonderfully because it complemented the visual message. There were two female silhouettes on either side of the mirror that were each a pose and pressed up against the barrier. The blur edged silhouette treatment made it seem it was almost in a hot shower and as if there was a condensation on the glass.
It created another world on the other side proportionate to you, so that just for a second you can be pleasantly fooled.
The supporting line was "Temptations no woman can resist"
One thought that went through my head was, I wonder how the ad ran in the mens bathroom?
If used right, mirrors can reflect and amplify a message very powerfully. It is an interactive medium, you become part of the piece as well.
So my artsy fartsy readers, how other ways can mirrors work in our favour to convey a message?
I'll leave you with one last thought by the Iranian artist Monir Farmanfarmaian, "The mirror reflects the sky, water and every colour," she says. "It is a symbol of light and life and when you stand in front of my mirror work and see the reflections, you are a part of the work itself." Her dazzling mosaic mirror work was exhibited a while back at The Third Line.

If you want to go to People by Crystal

Youth football in England is changing. From facilities to pitch sizes to player needs, the Football Association (FA) overhauled its approach in 2012 following their youth development review.
As well as the major changes such as reducing the number of players on teams, age appropriate pitch sizes and laws of the game (roll-ins and a retreat line for U7/8's), the FA have adopted a child friendly approach to youth football. By putting the players needs first, the hope is it will increase enjoyment and create a better learning environment.
Former QPR, Brentford and Wycombe Wanderers player Mark Hill whose 6 year-old son Lucas trains at Wycombe's development centre, explains what he has discovered.
He said: "I have been highly delighted with what I've seen. Lucas trains for two hours once a week with Wycombe and the whole session is devoted to football drills, skills and ball mastery. If I think back to what I was doing at age 14, it's a huge improvement."
Wycombe have adopted the Coerver coaching approach within their development centres, a football skills teaching method that focuses on individual skills and small group play.
Mark has had previous experience with Coerver and is a big supporter.
"The coach is very good and as well as the technical side of what they do, the coach makes it fun, which at Lucas' age, is very important."
An objective of the Coerver method is to value winning but not above character and performance, something Mark believes is lacking in schools.
"I do have a few issues with school sport. It's got to a stage when you're not allowed to be competitive and kids are throwing tennis balls against a wall, which doesn't inspire them. At primary school age, it is about listening and learning, playing games and having fun but that doesn't mean it cannot be competitive."
Lucas currently trains twice a week, once with Wycombe, once with his local club, Delaford Colts and plays a game at the weekends and Mark is conscious of the effect on Lucas' body.
"He's at the age when he'd play every minute if you let him and I am concerned about the long term effects and overuse injury problems. But I think as long as it's controlled and you're mindful of how much he's training and playing, then it's ok."
Wycombe's development centre both runs alongside and feeds into the club's academy and Mark is hopeful that Lucas will continue to get the chance to develop within the system.
"I do currently pay for Lucas' sessions at the development centre but I've seen the improvements in his game and am happy with the coaching he is receiving. They run the coaching in eight week blocks, beside the school terms and at the end of each block they review and say whether they want to keep them or not."
Despite the advancements in youth football, the cut-throat philosophy of the professional clubs still remains firmly in place.

How To Avoid Unnecessary Expenses At Home
It need not be explain how high the living cost is today. Market inflation rate directly hits the life style of the middle class. Rise of living cost is managed by the people by sacrificing their amenities to fulfill the basic living needs. Although we cannot help the rise of the living cost we can do something to adjust ourselves for that and try to live our lives to the fullest. There are various ways to avoid unnecessary costs at home if you carefully go through your activities. Following are several steps to avoid unnecessary expenses at home.
Make a budget and prioritizeMost of unnecessary expenses occur when you are not sufficiently organized. If you have a clear idea about your monthly expenses and income you can find the ways in which you have spent unnecessarily. You need to try to save at least a little amount every month. Therefore you need to identify your priorities and spend on what is most needed wisely. If you wisely organize your budget you can manage to get your needs fulfilled even with a limited amount of money.
Repair the wear and tearAnother very important tip to avoid unnecessary expenses is repairing the wear and tear as they come up. Everything in the world is subject to decay and with the time things in your house also get damaged and depreciated. The amounts you have to spend on the repairing or replacement of such can be minimized if you keep an eye on the condition of the things in your home and if you repair them as the first signs of damages appear. If you ignore the small flaws they will get worse day by day and you will end up spending big amounts unnecessarily. For an instance imagine the resources you will be wasting when you ignore a small pipe leek in your bathroom. Kitchen renovations Newcastle are also relatively important as timely repairs and replacements can relieve you of unnecessary expenses.
Re-cycle and re-useIn houses there are things which you can re-cycle and re-use and by doing that you can save resources too. For an instance imagine the number of clothes you throw-out or dispose due to stains or for non-fitting but of which materials are in good quality and can be used as dusters, serviettes, rugs, etc. Likewise the organic waste that is disposed can be used to make compost which can help you fertilize the plants in your garden. There are certain places which buy plastic and iron waste which can be re-cycled for some other purposes and you can find such a place and earn some amount at the same time.

NoMI Lounge at the Park Hyatt Chicago
Your hot Friday night drink spot is a sleepy (and quite empty) environment during the daytime hours. Perhaps one of the best hidden secrets — until now — the NoMI Lounge offers comfy chairs, amazing views of the cityscape, and natural sunlight. It just may be the chicest work spot you've ever had. It is in the luxurious Park Hyatt hotel, after all. Treat yourself to a plate of its incredible sushi and come 5 p.m., a nice (well-deserved) glass of vino from the impressive list.
NoMI Lounge, at The Park Hyatt Hotel, 800 North Michigan Avenue (at Chicago Avenue); 312-239-4030.
Daley Plaza
We're still having an incredible Indian Summer, so why not take things outdoors? While farmers' market season is over (sniff, sniff), there are plenty of places in the Loop to grab a quick to-go bite. Feel like taking a break? This iconic hot spot is perfect for people watching — if not gazing up at the Picasso.
Daley Plaza, 50 West Washington Street (between Wabash Avenue and Dearborn Street).
The 900 Shops
We realize this one could be a dangerous choice — but it really can be a great work environment, too! We suggest skipping the busier downstairs area and heading up to one of the higher floors. Snag a table and chair — or settle into a couch. We have a feeling you'll work just a little bit harder considering you're surrounded by a retail haven. Hungry? Everything from Thai to pizza is at your fingertips. Be sure to save room for that incredible froyo at Forty Carrots — yum!
The 900 Shops, 900 North Michigan Avenue (between Walton and Delaware); 312-915-3916.
Map Room
Okay, so maybe this is a place you go to research your wedding — not put your nose to the grindstone on the most important project of your life. Map Room is open early and closes late, so grab that Bloody Mary and get down to business. You can get coffee — but that would defeat the purpose of visiting this cozy gem versus your local barista. If you're in need of a little sustenance, there's a variety of sammies offered from nearby Goddess and the Grocer.
Map Room, 1949 North Hoyne Avenue (between Homer Street and Armitage Avenue); 773-252-7636.
Library Bar at PUBLIC
Like the NoMI Lounge, this bar is practically desolate during the daytime hours. Oversized couches, soft music, subdued lighting — can we move in? The only kicker with this option is you may become a little too relaxed. Still beats the watercooler drama, right? Coffee by day, cocktails by night. You can also indulge in a "Quicksand" milkshake if you're really having a rough day on the job. As for eats, there's a variety of sandwiches, salads, freshly baked desserts, and other goodies by chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten.
Library Bar at PUBLIC,1301 North State Parkway (at Goethe); 888-506-3471.
Millennium Park
Last month, Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced his incredible plan to make Chicago a hub for super speedy Internet service and provide free Wi-Fi in public places — high five! To get things started, you can now find free Wi-Fi in Chicago's most famous park in the tree-lined area of Wrigley Square. Again, take advantage of this spot before it's time for carolers, ice skating, and hot chocolate.
Millennium Park, 201 East Randolph Street (at Michigan Avenue); 312-742-1168.

Reuters: Toyota to launch pure electric car in U.S. by 2012
The FT-EV concept made its debut at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit Sunday, where the world's top automaker is also unveiling two new gasoline-electric hybrid cars.
The FT-EV concept shares a platform with the tiny iQ urban commuter car, which runs on a gasoline engine and emits just 99 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometer.
"Now, more than ever, while we are so focused on the pressing issues of the moment, we cannot lose sight of our future," Irv Miller, Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A. group vice president, said in a statement.
Toyota said the concept car is targeted at the urban dweller driving up to 50 miles between home and work, for instance. ...

"Remember the Sabbath day, to set it apart. "Six days you labor, and shall do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of YHVH your Elohim. You do not do any work – you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. "For in six days YHVH made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore YHVH blessed the Sabbath day and set it apart.
Shemoth (Ex) 20:8-11 (TS 2009)
This, the Fourth Mitzvah of 'The Ten', seems to be quite straightforward in what it has to say, doesn't it?
And yet the word 'work' as used here, the Hebrew word מְלָאכָה mĕla'kah, has fueled endless hours of debate over centuries of time and caused page after written page of instruction on how to avoid it in order to observe the Fourth Commandment correctly.
Should or shouldn't one start the car on Shabbat? And what about the light switch? We could avoid flipping the switch (work) if we just left the lights on at sundown on Erev Shabbat, or just light a twenty-four-hour candle, or some such thing couldn't we? And what about preparing food to eat on Shabbat (that is if it's OK to perform the act of chewing and swallowing)? And we could go on and on with getting dressed on Shabbat, carrying a Bible or creating a written page on Shabbat. No telling where the lunacy would go if we were to pursue it further. And yet there are those who concern themselves with these things while watching others in their level of observance. No wonder people equate Torah observance, and particularly that of the Shabbat with legalism!
We can trace this line of thought back through Orthodox Rabbinical Judaism to early Pharisaical Judaism, and the perceived need to build a 'hedge', or 'wall', around the Mitzvot of Torah. This is especially so when it comes to the Shabbat. In order to protect its holy hours from being profaned by those who don't understand how to observe it correctly, centuries of technical arguments as recorded in the Talmud (based on the 'Oral Tradition') if followed correctly; will bring its adherents to become 'Shomer' Shabbat. That is, able to observe the Shabbat perfectly and without error (according to the Pharisees).
Of course, in today's Orthodox Judaism, all one has to do is to rely upon the local Rabbi if questions arise concerning what is, and what is not permitted under the heading of correct observance, I.E.; suppose I wanted to prepare a Shabbat table for unexpected guests, when nothing had been prepared on Erev Shabbat for such an occasion and they brought nothing with them? Should they fast? Would it be OK for me to eat my prepared food without feeding them, or should we all fast? And then we find out one of them needs food to take their medication, it's a dark day, can we turn on the lights to prepare something for them (then there is that light in the fridge, didn't we take that bulb out a while back?)! You can see the level this craziness can go too! But then, never fear, your questions have most likely already been answered by Rabbi Snoozer of Snoozer in Talmud Tractate 52b. You do have the complete set of Talmud available for such occasions right!
Now all of us who follow Rabbi Y'shua, Ben Elohim, Sar Shalom, our very Jewish Mashiyach, Natsarene or not, aren't involved in this nonsense are we? We have come to know Shabbat as a blessing of Shalom, and Simcha (Peace and Joy) haven't we? We do not engage in work for hire or buy and sell on Shabbat, nor do we travel with exception of what might be necessary to help those in dire need or to attend services. We take time to meditate, write about, talk about, live out His Torah, especially on this holiest and most blessed day, don't we?
As Natsarenes we follow the example of our Rabbi, HaAdon Y'shua, The Master Y'shua on Shabbat. Attend service (as was His custom) or hold our own, eat just what is needed (lavish spreads not required, simple basics are best), serve Elohim through teaching, ministering, healing, caring for the widow, the orphan, the less fortunate, the stranger within our gates, the prisoner, and those who are simply downtrodden or in need of encouragement, (which, by the way, is all work). We welcome Shabbat with great joy and thanksgiving, and we leave it's special hours with a heavy heart while counting the days and hours to its welcome return!
Don't be afraid to work for the King and the Kingdom on Shabbat, you can do so and still be perfectly 'Shomer' while turning those lights on or off!

Our Prototyping Journey
How we are testing our idea
On April 24th, the City of Cheyenne introduced their Buildings With A Purpose idea as part of the @BloombergDotOrg #MayorsChallenge. For more information and to view pictures from the event, click on the link below!3:41 PM - 25 Apr 2018 CityofCheyenne
Cheyenne will test their ability to match owners of underutilized commercial properties with entrepreneurs, by creating a website and crowdfunding platform. Their tests will validate landlord incentives, investor interest and demand, and the need for a business liaison to facilitate matchmaking.
"I'm excited about this testing phase of our idea. Testing and prototyping is not new to the private sector, but it is for government. As we look at policies including 'Fight the Blight' and creating innovative solutions through programs such as our 'Buildings with a Purpose', it's about testing our assumptions and allowing us to learn, refine, and adapt before fully implementing a concept." Mayor Marian Orr, Wyoming Network News
What we're discovering through testing
Initially, Cheyenne assumed capital investment would be a primary motivator to get landlords and entrepreneurs involved in the program. Through testing, the team have found that a more important factor is the potential for human capital (i.e. expertise and experience) when other businesses collectively move into the area. Entrepreneurs and landlords are ready to join once there's momentum, but want assurance from other parties that everyone is committed long term.
We are at the Depot tonight with our test to pair up entrepreneurs, building owners, and investors: our Buildings With A Purpose @BloombergDotOrg #MayorsChallenge8:33 PM - 10 Jul 2018 gofishwyo
The process of quickly prototyping and iterating is quite new to the city. The team hasfound that being open about their journey with citizens has helped to build interest, trust and engagement. They have been inviting the community in after testing sessions to explore their learnings, as well as bringing local press along to share the process with a larger audience.
Last week we hosted our second Buildings With A Purpose event for the @BloombergDotOrg #MayorsChallenge! The event was a focus group with stakeholders to explore the role of a Business Liaison. For more info & pictures, click on the link below! Link: https://bit.ly/2K6ThA85:56 PM - 21 Jun 2018 CityOfCheyenne
I love this [test and learn methodology], I can't wait to apply it to everything else we are working on.Marian Orr, Mayor
What we've learned
Cheyenne explored using crowdfunding to support an entrepreneur and building owner once they've been paired. Since crowdfunding is a new concept, some members of the community have been hesitant to support it. Using visual mock-ups during the testing process has been instrumental in shifting residents' mindsets away from traditional investments. They began to see that crowdfunding can be a trustworthy model.
The biggest learning curve we have faced in getting the community on board is having them understand the overall concept - especially crowdfunding.Michael Skinner, Public Information Officer

- speeding 9 miles over
- having skulls/feathers hanging on the rearview mirror
- swerving over te fog line
Clearly, our van looks like a buncha potheads are in it but we kinda freaked about getting a speeding ticket since we are broke. Turns out the cop is just trying to find drugs or illegal aliens...he had his big scary K-9 search the outside of the van while Graham got searched. The dumb dog ripped off a piece of our van. He smelled cannabis so the cop kept asking if we'd been around it. He asked us about our band (what kinda music, folk or something?) and asked Graham if he had a dog. Graham said yes, his name is Bubbles. Weird name for a dog, he replied. Graham is wearing a pink sweater with hippos on it and a feather hairclip. He found nothing cuz our van is drug-free and left us with this warning, bidding us safe travels.

I Almost...
...had a heart attack about an hour ago. Our van wouldn't start up, which isn't surprising considering the fact that it was $400 and we had to get a new accelerator already because it wouldn't start up. But Daddy Tom came to the rescue (once again) and saved me from being crying girl. I hate crying girl - she sucks!
Well the van started up and that was the end of my long night of my Extreme Van Makeover. Will post pix tomorrow. It's pretty sexy inside, but I ghetto'd up the outside with spray paint. It was rusting its' balls off and I just kind of tried to cover it. FYI you can't buy spray paint in Chicago so I kept thinking some cop was gonna stop by and think I was vandalizing someone's
ugly beautiful van.
Anyways, we're going to Omaha tomorrow to hang out and then we embark on a 13 hour long journey to Austin so you'll be seeing a lot of pictures of us going bonkers in the van. We're going to try not to stop.
Remember that cartoon, anyoneanyone?

RSVP to email@example.com for a "goodie bag" full of random shit. You get a pair of K-Swiss shoes. You know, in case you get too drunk and lose one or both of your shoes.

What is Insurance?
I love the definition being given by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insurance on Insurance that go as this "Insurance is the equitable transfer of the risk of a loss, from one entity to another in exchange for payment. It is a form of risk management primarily used to hedge (protect) against the risk of a contingent, uncertain loss."
What type of Insurance should i get first?
There are so many different class of Insurance out there in the market. Hospitalization, Death, Total & Permanent Disability, Monthly Disability Income, Accident, Early Critical Illness and the list can just go on, but these should be the main different classes of Insurance out there.
And if you have sufficient or ample of this resource called Money, you could simply just purchase all these Insurance and have they built into your Wealth Preserve Safety Net.
But this is one tough question to answer if you have limited Money resource. What class of Insurance will be the highest priority for me to have, for my Wealth Preservation Safety Net, as to protect against risk of uncertain monetary losses? Read on for the type of desired Wealth Preservation Insurance to get!
2 Wealth Preserve Insurance to get – Hospitalization & Monthly Disability Income Protection
The main role of Insurance is to protect our self in events that will caused unforeseen monetary losses. First of all, we need to identify our source of income. It can be in the form of Direct or Indirect Income;
- Direct Income
- Salary for Employee
- Freelancer Fee/Salary for Self Employed
- Director Fee/Salary for Business Owner
- Indirect Income
- Dividend/Rental for Investor
Especially for those that depend on Direct Income(Salary) as the main and only source of income. It is criterial for us to have and to maintain a healthy body, in order to operate our job. But once we lose this main criteria, we may lose our income. Imagine this situation where a cleaner whom lose one of his leg to diabetic. He most probably will lose his job and end up in a hugh monetary liability due to loss of income and plus a heavy hospitalize bill.
Even for those with Indirect Income, it also important to have some form of Insurance for Hospitalization, to protect against the possible hugh hospitalize bill that may eat into their wealth.
Generally speaking, everyone should at least get Insurance for Hospitalization Protection, as to minimize the possible monetary lose against hospitalize bill. And it applied to everyone out in the world. For those living in Singapore, we are consider fortunate to have MediaShield Life coming in end of 2015, (Click here @ http://www.moh.gov.sg/content/moh_web/medishield-life/8-things-to-know.html to know more about it) that cover the basic of Hospitalize Protection.
Secondly, it pay to have some Monthly Disability Income Protection, as that will act to cover the period after hospitalize, as trying to rest and nurse back to pink of health. Knowing that you are covered during that period, you will be in a better mental state to rest, than to worry about make both end meet.

Lying at the southernmost tip of the Asia land mass, extended by the Malayan peninsula, is a little gem of a bird sanctuary. The Sungei Buloh Wetlands Reserve is tucked at the far western corner of the Singapore island and accessible within 30 mins from the buzzling city centre. This is a 130 hectares of oasis for migratory birds escaping the harsh winters as far north as the Asian tundra. Here is a tropical paradise of peace and tranquility.

Visitors along the way
These were some of the visitors that appeared and disappeared along the way. Never met them again throughout the journey later. The mosquitoes must be having a feast on their bare arms and legs. I too was attacked and knocked out a few and smeared a few drops of blood on my arms. Didn't want to take their lives but they kept coming. Could feel the pain when they bite. Tiny fellows but still painful, and itch afterwards.

The Middle Fork American is a suitable raft trip for the active, fit and adventurous first-timer or a great choice for those seeking a step-up from the South Fork American River.
Your trip is set in a beautiful wilderness canyon that is eligible for Federal Wild & Scenic status. From its headwaters in the Granite Chief Wilderness, it flows through steep, rugged and forested canyons within the Tahoe National Forest and into the Auburn State Recreation Area.
This is one of your guides' favorite California white water rafting runs, as they appreciate escaping into this pristine road-less area. This American River Rafting Class 4 adventure is close to civilization, yet it is possible to feel that you are the only people on the river.
The infamous "Tunnel Chute" is one of the first big rapids encountered and there are numerous Class III-IV rapids in the first 6 miles, such as Last Chance, Submarine Hole and Kanaka. For the next 7 miles, the pace is more mellow, allowing time to appreciate the solitude and beauty of the lush, forested canyon. You may get a glimpse of some wildlife, perhaps a bear, or spot a trout swimming in the incredibly clean and clear Sierra mountain water. We stop for lunch and possible side hikes while plenty of excitement lies ahead.
The Ruck-a-Chucky rapids start just below the entrance of Canyon Creek. A 20-foot drop through a sieve of huge boulders makes the middle of these 3 rapids a mandatory portage, but the Class IV drops of Upper and Lower Ruck-a-Chucky are usually runnable. A 2-mile gorge laced with Class III-IV rapids such as Parallel Parking and Catapult follow.
It's a long but satisfying day. Your rafting finishes after 17 miles, at the old Greenwood Bridge site. The bridge was demolished in the 1954 floods by a 50-foot wall of water that surged down the canyon after the old Hell Hole Reservoir failed.
Cold beverages are available at the take-out and our vans shuttle you up a rough dirt road to your awaiting vehicles where you can review photos taken earlier. You should be on the road by 5:00pm reminiscing about your day all the way home!

Hey Bees,

Just looking to see if anyone has been through anything similar to me. My DH and I started TTC last month, at 10dpo I got a super faint BFP! I had a few tests at home so I did them over the first few days and they were getting slightly darker each day, but they never got super dark. I went to my dr and had my blood drawn on the day of my missed period (5 days after my first bfp) and my HCG was at 127, he didn't ask me back for a redraw and said to come in two weeks later for an US. Hearing it from the dr made it all seem real so I stopped POAS and we started to get excited, a week after my first visit to the dr I caved and took another test, the line was still there but it was no darker than the last test I took and still took a good while to show up, I was worried at this point that something was wrong so I went back to the drs and had another blood test, my HCG was at 172, it only rose by 50 in the week 🙁 He told me the pregnancy wasn't viable and that I would start bleeding soon, this was 4 days ago.
I'm now 11 days late for my period and would be about 5w4d and have no bleeding or cramps, I thought chemical pregnancies occured in the few days around a missed period, and HCG levels never rose at all!? Has anyone been through anything similar? how long did it take you before you started bleeding? I have to go back in 10 days for a D&C if it doesn't happen naturally and i'm devastated 🙁

In these darkest days of the year, we are surrounded by clouds of evil and forces of hatred.
Aleppo. Darfur. Mosul.
Zealots abound, both at home and abroad.
When those zealots strike at someplace I've actually walked, where I have dined and drank, suddenly the hatred seems all the closer.
The site of last evening's attack in Berlin is one that I know, and in fact a place I visited on several occasion while staying in Berlin last year.
And again, as I've written before in these pages, this prayer is on my mind:
E'en so, Lord Jesus, quickly come. We need no light, nor lamp, nor sun, for Christ shall be our all.
For some context, read this column from today's paper:

Addington, Henry Unwin (DNB00)
ADDINGTON, HENRY UNWIN (1790–1870), permanent under-secretary for foreign affairs, was the son of the Right Hon. John Addington, brother of the first Lord Sidmouth, and was born 24 March 1790. He was educated at Winchester school, and entered the Foreign Office in January 1807. After serving on various diplomatic missions he in 1814 became secretary of legation to Switzerland, and was afterwards transferred successively to Copenhagen and Washington. Though he retired from active service on a pension in 1826, his experience was taken advantage of on several occasions as a plenipotentiary: in 1826 during the negotiations with the United States in London, in 1828 at the diet of Frankfort, and from 1829 to 1833 at Madrid. From 1842 to 1854 he acted as permanent under-secretary of state for foreign affairs, and on his retirement from that office he was sworn a privy councillor. He died 6 March 1870.[Times, 8 March 1870.]

It's the first time in 28 years that a V8 did not make the cut.
The winners of the annual Wards 10 Best Engines have been announced for 2017. Similar to years past, we see an abundance of turbocharged units, a few hybrid options, and a smattering of six-cylinders on the list. What we don't see, though, is any naturally-aspirated engines taking home the award, and for the first time in 28 years, a V8 did not make the cut.
Take a look at this year's list of winners and see for yourself:
- 3.0L Turbocharged DOHC I-6 (BMW M240i)
- 1.5L DOHC 4-cyl./Dual Motor EREV (Chevrolet Volt)
- 3.6L DOHC V-6/Dual Motor PHEV (Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid)
- 2.3L Turbocharged DOHC 4-cyl. (Ford Focus RS)
- 2.0L DOHC 4-cyl./Dual Motor HEV (Honda Accord Hybrid)
- 1.4L Turbocharged DOHC 4-cyl. (Hyundai Elantra Eco)
- 3.0L Turbocharged DOHC V-6 (Infiniti Q50)
- 2.5L Turbocharged DOHC 4-cyl. (Mazda CX-9)
- 2.0L Turbocharged DOHC 4-cyl. (Mercedes-Benz C300)
- 2.0L Turbo/Supercharged DOHC 4-cyl. (Volvo V60 Polestar)
"Automakers see downsizing, turbocharging and electrification as key strategies for delivering no-compromise powertrains that also are fuel efficient, and this year's list clearly affirms that strategy," says WardsAuto Senior Content Director Drew Winter.
Some of the more notable winners include the new Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid, which returns an impressive 84 MPGe and 260 horsepower (193 kilowatts), and the Ford Focus RS, which introduced the 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder new in 2016. That engine returns 350 horsepower (260 kilowatts) and 325 pound-feet (474 Newton-meters) of torque.
Wards Autos editors evaluated 40 vehicles in a span of two months, deciding upon the 10 best engines on cars with a base price no higher than $62,000. Each powertrain is scored based on horsepower, torque, comparative specs, noise, and fuel economy.
Following its 10 Best Engines award, Wards will announce the winners of its 10 Best Interiors Award – of which a number of cars took home the honor for 2016 – and the 10 Best User Experiences, which puts infotainment systems to the test.

Lovly earns Damon Runyon Cancer Research Award
July 17, 2013
Christine Lovly, M.D., Ph.D., instructor in Medicine at the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, has earned the 2013 Damon Runyon Clinical Investigator Award, which supports young physician-scientists conducting patient-oriented cancer research.
The three-year award will provide $450,000 for Lovly's research efforts in lung cancer.
"I am so honored to receive this prestigious and competitive award from the Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation," said Lovly. "This kind of support is crucial for early career scientists who are establishing their own research laboratories. I am very pleased to have been selected for this award and I am extremely grateful for all the support I received from my colleagues at Vanderbilt in preparation for this award."
Damon Runyon was a journalist and short story writer whose stories were used as the basis for the hit Broadway show, Guys and Dolls. When Runyon died of throat cancer in 1946, his friend and radio personality Walter Winchell asked listeners to contribute funds to help fight cancer. Since 1946, the Damon Runyon Cancer Memorial Fund, now known as the Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation, has provided $260 million to scientists, including 11 Nobel Laureates, who are investigating the causes and potential treatments for cancer.
Lovly is investigating novel therapeutic strategies for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumors are positive for ALK tyrosine kinase fusions. Initially identified in 2007 as a novel 'driver mutation' in lung cancer, genomic alterations in ALK are also found in subsets of lymphoma, sarcoma, neuroblastoma, colon cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer and thyroid cancer.
A small molecule inhibitor of ALK was recently FDA approved to treat ALK+ lung cancer. However, as is consistent with other small molecule inhibitors in clinical use, disease progression after initial response, a concept referred to as 'acquired resistance,' is evident. Lovly is working to develop new therapeutic agents or drug combinations that delay or overcome this acquired resistance.
Lovly earned her B.A. in chemistry from Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Md., followed by M.D. and Ph.D. degrees from Washington University, St. Louis, Mo. She came to Vanderbilt University in 2006 as part of the Physician Scientist Training Program. She completed residency in internal medicine and fellowship in medical oncology. She was named Chief Fellow in 2011-2012.
Lovly recently joined Vanderbilt as an assistant professor of Medicine. Her laboratory is located in the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center, which also provides support for her research.


text: dalbert02 0 Report post Posted August 1, 2007 I really tried to solve this on my own, but I can't quite seem to be able to figure this out. I am trying to turn off the video overlay with a Geko (Inspire) OSD board. I have my controller set so that channel 6 is an on/off switch. I have the VID cable from the Inspire connected to the Rx's channel 6. If the switch is down, I get on the servo test screen: 1.15ms = vid off and with the switch up I get 1.98ms = vid on However, the overlay is always on. I have no glitches, good GPS signal, good battery voltages, but I can't seem to get the overlay to switch off. Any ideas? Thank you, -dave albert Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When we first moved to New Jersey, we were lucky to meet a few local writers. One of them was Caroline Leavitt. We kept running into her at writers conferences and book festivals, and we became huge fans of her and her books. She is the quintessential writer's writer. When we found out about her new book, Cruel Beautiful World, we picked her brain on the state of writing, publishing, and how the heck she got Scott Simon to interview her on National Public Radio.
Read the interview on the Huffington Post.
The Book Doctors: We have often thought that it is a cruel beautiful world, so your title really captured our eye. How did you come up with that cruel and beautiful title?
Caroline Leavitt: My 20-year-old actor son Max came up with it, and it seemed to fit, because I was writing about that time when the innocence of the '60s slammed into the dangerous reality of the '70s. I'm awful at titles. They always get changed by Algonquin. But this one seemed to stick. Plus, I'm like you. I think the word is so, so beautiful, with so much joy, but to appreciate that joy, you have to experience the absolute cruelty of it, as well.
TBD: We heard you recently on NPR with Scott Simon. How did that interview come about, and what was it like to talk about your book with Mr. Simon?
CL: My genius publicist got me on! It was a blast. Scott Simon is really calming and funny—and I was really happy that I was able to make him laugh. Plus, he asked such thoughtful questions. I was just so honored.
TBD: What is your daily routine for writing a novel at this point? How many drafts did it take to get Cruel Beautiful World ready for publication? Do you rely on readers and editors to help along the way?
CL: I try to write four hours every day. I have to know the beginning and the end, and I usually do a 30-page writer's synopsis that changes every time I sit down to write. It took about 28 drafts for Cruel Beautiful World, maybe more, because I lost count, and it morphed into a very different book than what I initially thought it would be. I totally relied on my Algonquin editor, Andra Miller, who seemed to know what I needed to do before I did it. And I totally rely on other writers to read drafts and discuss things with me. I couldn't do it alone.
TBD: What was your inspiration, the diving board that led you to plunge into the pool of this book?
CL: I wanted to write this story when I was 17. I sat behind a girl in study hall who had a much older fiancé who was controlling, which I thought was weird. Then a year later, she broke up with him and he stabbed her. I was horrified! But I couldn't write about it because I kept wondering, how did she stay with someone for five years and not know he was capable of this? Ah, then ten years passed, and two weeks before my wedding, my fiancé dropped dead in my arms. I was so cataclysmic with grief that I knew I would die if I had to keep doing it. So against all advice, I hurled myself into a relationship with a man who wouldn't let me eat (I was 100 pounds but he thought I was too heavy), monitored what I wore, didn't want me to see my friends or his friends. Why did I stay? Because if I left, then I'd have to grieve. The final countdown was when I discovered he had deleted a page or so of my novel in progress and replaced it with a Groucho Marx series of jokes. When I protested, he said, "What's yours is mine. We are the same person."
So I understood staying in a controlling relationship, losing yourself, but I didn't have the novel until four years ago, when I noticed an online request from my high school friend's sister. She was still haunted by the crime and wanted anyone who knew anything to talk to her. Then I had my story!
TBD: The novel seems to be in some ways about dangerous love, and about a strangely taboo subject in our culture: love in old age. What made you decide to tackle these topics?
CL: See above for the dangerous love! Love in old age is my homage to my mom. She was jilted at 17, married my father, a brute, and when he died in his 50s, she swore off men. Hated them! She lived alone until she was 90, when she couldn't handle the house and we moved her into an independent living place. She hated it, screamed at me to take her home. And then suddenly she didn't. She met this man Walter and impulsively kissed him, and they fell in love—she told me "for the first time." They were inseparable for four years, and then my mom began to get dementia. And after she did, Walter fell and died, and my sister and I never told our mother. So my mom, who is now 99, thinks he is still alive, that she has just seen him, that he is living with his kids and will call her soon. It's kind of lovely how happy she is.
TBD: We were watching Aquarius, David Duchovny's new show, and one of the characters in it is Charles Manson. Why do you think we still have this intense fascination with a man who has a Nazi swastika carved into his forehead?
CL: Because what you initially saw was not what you ended up getting. Manson looked just like any '60s hippie. He had all the extras. He lived on a communal ranch. He preached love and everyone was welcome. Even Dennis Wilson liked him and had Susan Atkins babysit his kids! The Manson Girls adored him. When you think of who he really was, it gets scarier because I keep thinking—I could have been a Manson girl in the '70s. So could a lot of girls. Manson still being alive and around fascinates us because he really is pure evil—this tiny little old man now—still scares us.
TBD: David was coming of age in that strange period between the '60s and the '70s, when America went from being obsessed with flower power and the Grateful Dead to disco and cocaine. What draws you to this strange crossroads in American history?
CL: Oh, I was coming of age then, too. I wanted to go out to San Francisco and wear flowers in my hair and "meet some gentle people" but I was too young. So I hung out at the Love-Ins in Boston with my older sister. There was such profound hope in the '60s, a sense that we really could change the world for the better. And then the '70s hit. And Nixon invaded Cambodia. And Kent State happened. And the Mansons. What happens when dreams turn into a reality you didn't expect? Can you still find meaning in your life? That's what really interested me.
TBD: We work with so many writers who have a bizarre conception of what it is to be a writer: you're suddenly filled with inspiration, you dash off your opus, and then you sit in your cabin by the lake while the royalty checks roll in. Of course, anyone who's written a book knows it's mostly sitting by yourself in a room, slogging away and trying to chisel out a work of art and commerce from a lump of clay you have to create with your imagination. As authors who've been writing for decades, we have to ask, why the heckfire do you do it?
CL: I firmly believe if I didn't do it, I would be insane. And also because I love the whole sensation of being in another world, of creating characters. Maybe I am a bit of a masochist, but I love the hard, hard work.
TBD: We must confess that we've known Caroline Leavitt for quite some time, we are fellow New Jersey writers, and we know that she, like so many of our distinguished writer friends, spends portions of her life being terribly nervous. Why do you think that is?
CL: Ha, that made me laugh! I think writers are perhaps more broken than the average person, that writing heals us. And, of course, that means, when we aren't writing, we are searching for that stray Valium we just know was around here.
TBD: When we were looking for a publisher for The Essential Guide to Getting Your Book Published, we turned down a much larger offer from one of the Big 5 publishing houses to go with Workman, an independent publisher. We believe our book would now be out-of-print, instead of in its third edition, if we had taken more money and gone with a publisher who really didn't know how to reach our audience, one owned by a corporation whose guiding principal is profit as opposed to developing and nurturing writers. What are your thoughts about finding the right publisher for your book?
CL: The right publisher is everything. I have had five (count 'em) before I got to Algonquin. Two small ones went out of business. Three big ones ignored me. My sales were enough to buy groceries. When I got to Algonquin, everything changed. I kept saying, "You know I don't sell, right?" And they kept saying back, "You will now." Six weeks before Pictures of You came out, it was in its sixth printing. The month it was out, it was on the New York Times Best Seller List. All of a sudden I had a career, and the people who wouldn't take my calls before were now calling me! I've never been treated so well. Algonquin respects their authors, they keep selling a book long after it's been out—and they totally work out of the box, which gets amazing results. I call them the gods and goddesses for good reason.
TBD: What are you currently writing? What are you currently reading?
CL: I'm writing the first chapter of my new book, and I'm too superstitious to say anything about it. I'm reading Shelter in Place by Alexander Maksik, which is fabulous, and I have this book Idaho by Emily Ruskovich.
TBD: We hate to have to ask you this, but we do. What advice do you have for writers?
CL: Never ever ever ever give up. Never. Someone says, "no"? The next person might say, "yes." And do not write to the marketplace. Write the book that speaks to you, that is going to change YOUR life. If your book can do that, well then, it will change the lives of others, too.

The Muslim culture is a very male-oriented culture where power is respected and weakness is not. I am not sure that our State Department and the Obama Administration are taking that into consideration in some of their recent actions.
Reuters reported yesterday that the Obama Administration is considering transferring a senior Taliban official now at Guantanamo over to Afghan custody. Haven't we learned from our mistakes? In Iraq (see rightwinggranny.com) Ali Musa Daqduq, a Hezbollah operative involved in the planning of the kidnapping and murder of American soldiers in Karbala in 2007, who is also guilty of arming and training Iraqi insurgents, was turned over to the Iraqis as the Americans withdrew (rather than taken to Guantanamo) and is expected to be released to either Beirut or Tehran.
The Reuters story reports:
One U.S. intelligence official said there had been intense bipartisan opposition in Congress to the proposed transfer.
"I can tell you that the hair on the back of my neck went up when they walked in with this a month ago, and there's been very, very strong letters fired off to the administration," the official said on condition of anonymity.
The senior administration official confirmed that the White House has received letters from lawmakers on the issue. "We will not characterize classified Congressional correspondence, but what is clear is the President's order to us to continue to discuss these important matters with Congress," the official said.
Even supporters of a controversial deal with the Taliban – a fundamentalist group that refers to Americans as infidels and which is still killing U.S., NATO and Afghan soldiers on the battlefield – say the odds of striking an accord are slim.
Critics of Obama's peace initiative remain deeply skeptical of the Taliban's willingness to negotiate, given that the West's intent to pull out most troops after 2014 could give insurgents a chance to reclaim lost territory or push the weak Kabul government toward collapse.
President Obama refuses to send anyone to Guantanamo. Unfortunately that refusal is putting Americans and our national security at risk.

SCC Women's Soccer scores two goals in 40 seconds for a tie with Everett CC
Sunday, October 27, 2013
|SCC Soccer comes back with 7 minutes left to tie match
with EVCC by scoring two goals in 40 seconds
Photo by Wilson Tsoi
The Lady Dolphin Soccer Team was down 2-0 with about 10 minutes left in the game on Saturday night at Twin Ponds Field against rival Everett Community College, but in a span of 40 seconds, the game was tied and SCC came-back from being eliminated from the NWAACC Northern Region Playoff picture to now still being in the hunt for the final spot in the NWAACC Championship tournament.
EVCC scored in the first half at the 15 minute mark and made that hold up until half-time. The Trojans came out and scored again 6 minutes into the 2nd half for a 2-0 lead and for next 30 minutes the Dolphins could not break through the Everett defense, but then lightning struck twice in 40 seconds as Mackenzie Bolton scored on an assist from Allison Shelton in the 83rd minute and the SCC defense took the ball away from EVCC on the ensuring Everett kickoff and took the ball straight down the field to score 40 seconds later on a Haley Warren goal, set-up by a Mackenzie Bolton assist.
Both teams put pressure on each other's goals in the final 7 minutes, but neither team could score.
SCC record moved to 9-7-2 overall and 6-6-2 in the region. Everett record is now 8-6-3 overall and 7-4-3 in the NWAACC Northern Region. Shoreline is now in 4th placed in the region, while EVCC is in third place, 4 points higher than Shoreline. The top three places in the region make the NWAACC Soccer Championship Playoffs. The Dolphins are still in the playoff hunt, but will need help from other teams to make the playoffs.
On Wednesday, SCC plays at Green River CC while Everett CC plays region leading Edmonds CC. The Dolphins beat GRCC 3-0 in their first meeting and Edmonds defeated EVCC 1-0 earlier this season as well. A SCC win and EVCC lost will pull the teams to within 1 point of each other, going into the final weekend of play, where SCC plays Whatcom and EVCC plays Skagit Valley. Depending on those results, SCC could make the playoffs or be eliminated.

My Vote; Part 1
On Tuesday, America should vote to elect Hillary Clinton to the Presidency.
These words are something I never thought that I would write, but 2016 has been a bizarre year. I am not so much as endorsing Clinton as I am endorsing a defeat of Donald Trump. It is not an exaggeration to say that Trump has been probably the closest America has ever gotten to fascism. Trump has proclaimed that he alone can solve the supposed chaos and destruction that grip the United States of America.
Trump's platform is a strange cesspool of egomania, racism and contempt for anything approaching rationality. He has shown again and again that he has exactly the wrong temperament for the office of the Presidency. The Presidency is the most powerful position on the planet, and a President must make decisions that decide the fate of our nation. A man who casually endorses nuclear attacks, and who can fly into rages at the slightest criticism, is quite literally a threat to our national wellbeing.
This election goes beyond Democrats and Republicans, or progressives and conservatives. Being a loyal Republican is not a reason to vote for Trump, as Trump could not give a damn about the Republican Party. Hillary Clinton is a lousy candidate. She is a corrupt individual who, against a decent opponent, should deserve to lose this election. Unfortunately, Trump is much less than decent.
I'll have two more postings expanding upon my endorsement of Clinton by Tuesday.

Yes, I admit it. Even before I knew anything about Milkywhale, or heard any of their music, I was interested. It's (another) one of those names that Iceland airwaves throws out every year that makes you want to find out more. It turns out that there's a lot to like here. If you've ever wondered what you'd get if you mixed FM Belfast with a trained choreographer then you really are in for a treat.
I'll be equally fascinated to see how this turns out on the big stage of Harpa and the, well, slightly less big stage of Hlemmur bus station during Airwaves week. I spoke to singer Melkorka (are you working the name out yet?) about all of this...
Hello Milkywhale, where are you and what are you doing?
Hi there! Right now I'm at home celebrating that I just finished a six weeks intense course at the Icelandic University, hallelujah - my weekends are back!
And how on earth did you come up with such an excellent name?
Well, I studied dance and choreography in Amsterdam and Brussels. People had such a difficult time learning how to pronounce my name, Melkorka, so I found out this way of explaining it to them. I said "It's like milk in Dutch and orca which is the Latin word for killer whale". So I am the white milky killer whale that likes to sing pop songs.
So you are a choreographer working with Arni from FM Belfast. Sounds fascinating – how does that work on stage?
So far it has worked brilliantly. Árni is such an amazingly talented musician and we fit really well together when making music. Our basic rule is to have everything on the table in our working process so we can immediately tell each other if we don't like something. I think that is such a challenge, to be politely rude. When working together we try to make music and choreographies an equal thing. So after we've made our songs, we take them to a dance studio, play them over and over again while trying to figure out possibilities with it.
When Milkywhale performs, Árni is with the sound technician and does all his music magic from there, I have no control over anything, maybe that's why I have the need to move so much on stage - each concert is like a fitness class!
Presumably when you were training in dance you didn't expect to end up fronting a pop band at Iceland Airwaves! How did that happen?
Wow, for me it is a dream coming true. I've been into music for so many years but never like this. I formed a performance band with some of my best friends when we were studying in Amsterdam. We were tired of moving our bodies; we wanted to move the audience instead. And when I met Árni, we shared the same vision of wanting to "choreograph" a concert. So instead of going on stage with random lights and visuals, we synchronized everything together as we wanted it to be. We're both so enthusiastic about this project. Milkywhale is different from everything we've done.
Is the whole show choreographed, or is there space in there for some improvisation?
Well, Milkywhale started out as a project at the Reykjavik Dance Festival, which we premiered last August. We like to think of that show as a database in our current concerts. So we're not bound by the structure we made, instead we take bits and pieces and give them a life of our own. Our show at Airwaves will definitely be spectacular in its own way. I like to think different with this project, a couple of weeks ago I was trying to think of ways to crowd surf in total silence and if it could work. Just imagine, it would be so great. Anyway, none of our shows are the same so let's see what happens at Airwaves. It will probably be a surprise to us as much as the audience!
You are playing on the Friday in Harpa on a nice bill headlined by Sin Fang. That seems like a good spot, are you happy with a big stage to move about on?
Absolutely! It is wonderful to play in Harpa and get a big stage. Especially since it is our first year as Milkywhale! I'm becoming pretty good in singing and dancing around small stages with drum kits while wearing high heels so everything else is just great. And we have such a great director working with us on visuals (www.magnusleifsson.com) who also did our "Birds of Paradise" music video.
So the whole show will be an intense combination of music, soundscape, dance and visuals.
What other acts are you super keen to see at Airwaves this year?
I love Beach House, I saw them at Airwaves a few years ago and I want to see them again, Sunday evening with Hot Chip and FM Belfast of course sounds great also, and if I wasn't playing myself, I would definitely go to the Hip Hop night at the Reykjavik Art Museum on Friday (we can go there all together after you've seen Milkywhale!). Actually my little sister is going to the festival for the first time this year so I think I'll let her decide which bands we'll see.
Finally, do you have any advice for people attending Airwaves or visiting Iceland for the first time?
If there is a band you really want to see, go early to the venue, there is nothing more frustrating than standing outside in a line freezing meanwhile your favourite band is playing, dress well, don't get too overwhelmed, pass by Bæjarins bestu in between Harpa Concert Hall and the other venues for a hotdog, try to crowd surf or head bang at least a couple of times, sing along with your favourite songs and don't plan to much - meet new people, see Milkywhale and let the festival surprise you!
OK, these are your opportunities to catch Milkywhale performances at Iceland Airwaves 2016:
Wednesday Nov 4th @3:00pm - Laundromat Café
Thursday Nov 5th @5:00pm - Geysir
Friday Nov 6th @ 9:40pm - Harpa Norðurljós
Saturday Nov 7th @ 5:00pm - Hlemmur Square

Hey FlickoFlash ... Just where did you gat that avatar? Too much!
Hey FlickoFlash ... Just where did you gat that avatar? Too much!
I think Adrian has got a fantastic tone on the Vandenberg Live In Japan Video/DVD and on the Heading For A Storm album. Does anybody know if he used any overdrive pedal then? To me it sounds like a Les Paul in to a Marshall or Marquise/Maquise (an amp i've red he used and you can see in the Live In Japan Video/DVD) turned up loud.
The whole crowd seems uninterested, one guy looks like he's gonna throw a rock, maybe it's because they got a great view of his ass.
It's never a good idea to turn your back to the crowd
Adrian does have awesome tone and a great player!
Norlin strikes again!!!
I think this is the same guitar, the Heritage Standard 80 he used back in the early 80's Vandenberg band days.

The ancestors of the name Cokefield date back to the Anglo-Saxon tribes of Britain. The name is derived from when the Cokefield family lived in Cockfield, Durham or in Suffolk. Cockfield Hall is in Yoxford, Suffolk and was originally held by the Cokefeud Family who had held it since the beginning of the 14th century.
The surname Cokefield was first found in Suffolk at Cockfield, a village and civil parish near Lavenham. This village is much older than the aforementioned Durham village at this one dates back to the 10th century when it was listed as Cochanfelde. The first record of the Durham village was in 1223 when it was listed as Kokefeld. There are two possible meaning of the place names: "open land of a man called Cohha" derived from the Old English personal name + feld; and "open land frequented by cocks (of wild birds.)" [1]
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Cokefield research. Another 128 words (9 lines of text) covering the years 1170, 1275, 1198 and 1327 are included under the topic Early Cokefield History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
It is only in the last few hundred years that the English language has been standardized. For that reason, early Anglo-Saxon surnames like Cokefield are characterized by many spelling variations. As the English language changed and incorporated elements of other European languages, even literate people changed the spelling of their names. The variations of the name Cokefield include: Cockfield, Cocksfield, Cofield, Coefield, Coffield and many more.
More information is included under the topic Early Cokefield Notables in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Many English families tired of political and religious strife left Britain for the new colonies in North America. Although the trip itself offered no relief - conditions on the ships were extremely cramped, and many travelers arrived diseased, starving, and destitute - these immigrants believed the opportunities that awaited them were worth the risks. Once in the colonies, many of the families did indeed prosper and, in turn, made significant contributions to the culture and economies of the growing colonies. An inquiry into the early roots of North American families has revealed a number of immigrants bearing the name Cokefield or a variant listed above: Ann Coffield who settled in New England in 1758 along with her husband William.

When hunger hits the community, children suffer the most. For those children tormented by empty stomachs, it is not going to school that is important, but eating. At present, there are between 350 and 400 million children in the world who are suffering from hunger. Among those who have reached elementary school age, 115 million are not attending. Eradicating the hunger of children who support the future of nations and further educating them is essential for poor countries to escape from poverty and hunger.
Poor families generally do not have enough to eat, and most schools in developing countries do not have kitchens or cafeterias. Children with empty stomachs simply become distracted easily and cannot concentrate on their studies. Such hunger stymies a child's learning ability. Furthermore, in serious cases of malnutrition, there are even adverse affects on a child's physical and mental development. This makes the burden on poor countries all the greater.
WFP has been providing school feeding for over forty years in developing countries. In 2007, roughly 19.3 million children received meal support. The aim of this program is to broaden educational opportunities and guarantee that education is being received while at the same time providing highly nutritious meals and helping child development. WFP's school feeding program serves an important role in helping poor countries escape from poverty and hunger.
Results of school feeding:
- A striking increase in enrollment and attendance
- If hunger is satisfied, pupils are able to dedicate themselves to their studies
- Children are at least able to take one highly nutritious meal a day
- Even girls who were confined to the home by custom receive educational opportunities
- Parents choose to send their children to school rather than work
The World Food Programme is the United Nation's only food assistance program that provides food assistance in developing countries with the charge of eliminating hunger and poverty. For more information, please visit: www.wfp.org

An old NASA satellite the size of a bus will be plunging uncontrolled to earth some time today. Somewhere. They think. Or maybe not.
It won't hit North America. Definitely. They're pretty sure.
The six-ton satellite is expected to break into about 26 large pieces which may arrive in a 500-mile re-entry zone and will likely land either in water or on uninhabited land. Probably.
It seems to me we've heard this song before…
It's raining space junk, hallelujah!
