Joey Whelan NBA Draft Diary Archive
Zabian Dowdell and his family are an anomaly in their hometown of Pahokee, Florida.
The tiny city located in Palm Beach County for years has been known as a football hot bed, producing current and former NFL players Fred Taylor, Anquan Boldin, Andre Waters and Rickey Jackson. Each year, college coaches flock to Pahokee in hopes of finding the next great college football player. As popular as football was growing up in Pahokee though, Dowdell found himself drawn to basketball.
My whole family played basketball, so it was kind of funny being in a football town, Dowdell said. My brother played, my sisters played, my mom played, so it was always something that I was around. I just fell in love with the game. I love football too, but there was just something about basketball that caught my attention, and I just couldnt put the ball down.
The decision to pick up basketball proved to be a good one. Dowdell earned first-team All-State honors as a junior and senior and had offers from South Florida, East Carolina and Florida Atlantic. South Florida started recruiting under the guise of then head coach Seth Greenberg, but when Greenberg left in 2003 to take the head coaching position at Virginia Tech, both parties continued to recruit Dowdell. Greenbergs commitment to Dowdell would be a major factor in his decision to become a Hokie.
Im a very loyal guy, and I think Coach Greenberg showed a lot of loyalty in deciding to stick with me, even though he moved to a different school, Dowdell said. So I just felt like that was the kind of guy that I needed to be associated with.
While Dowdell would excel in his first three seasons at Virginia Tech, earning honorable mention All-ACC twice and being named to the ACC All-Defensive team once, the Hokies would struggle. After finishing 4-12 in the ACC in the 2005-06 season very little was expected of the program coming into this past season. Virginia Tech shocked the college basketball world, though, going 10-6 in the conference, including wins over both North Carolina and Duke
It was great being able to earn the respect of the fans and the respect of the media, Dowdell said. I think it was a product of hard work, and thats pretty much what is behind every success story, hard work. You have to be able to withstand the tough times and fight through it, and I think thats what we did. Going into the season, we were picked to be last in the conference, and somehow we found a way to make our season respectable. I think hard work pretty much solves all problems.
The ride only got better when the Hokies earned an at large bid in the NCAA Tournament, the schools first appearance in the tournament in eleven years.
That was a great experience; not only for me, but for the whole university, for all of the Virginia Tech fans, he said. The whole journey, everything we went through, not just this season, but the previous three seasons, it was a great way to end my career. Even though we didnt make it to the final four, it was just great getting there. When I look back on it, I think its going to be something that Im very proud of.
After a first round win over Illinois, Virginia Tech lost a tough game to #4 seed Southern Illinois. Dowdell was held in check by the strong Salukis defense, scoring only 7 points on 3-9 shooting from the field. When the final buzzer sounded, however, it wasnt the loss he was thinking about.
I was just kind of looking back on my career then; some of the good times and some of the bad times, Dowdell said. There are so many things that Ive been through and Ive grown so much through the years, you know it was a sad time then, but I was very proud of where the program had come.
There was certainly plenty for Dowdell to look back on and be happy about. Aside from Virginia Techs great season, he put together his best year, averaging better than 17 points, earning first-team All-ACC honors and honorable mention All-American honors. As always though, Dowdell kept his eye on the bigger picture.
Its great to have those kinds of things in your pocket, but I think at the end of the day you still have to go out every day and continue to prove yourself, and prove to people that you can play, he said.
After the season ended Dowdell joined other players from around the country at the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament, where he had the opportunity to play in front of scouts and help his draft stock. He said the most interesting part of the whole weekend was the chance to spend time with the other players off the court.
It was a very unique situation because you see a lot of those guys on TV and youre kind of like fans of their game, Dowdell said. I saw a lot of guys down there whose game I respected and I got a chance to talk to some of those guys and meet some of those guys. So it was a great experience.
While Dowdell had an overall successful weekend at Portsmouth, it was his first game that showed his full array of offensive abilities. Early on, Dowdell was setting up teammates nicely, but they werent finishing their shots. It was at that point that he decided to take over the scoring load. Dowdell stated that he hoped being able to switch on the fly from passing guard to scoring guard will be a help come draft day.
Hopefully it will be a great advantage, he said. I just go out there and play. Not every game is going to be the same; some games my teammates wont be knocking down shots so Im going to have to step up and make plays. You cant go out there every game with a set plan or youre going to fail. I just try to go out there and play hard; whatever happens, happens.
Not long after Portsmouth, Dowdell had to sit and watch the tragic events of the Virginia Tech shooting unfold before his eyes. He was in his off campus apartment at the time of the tragedy, and like most of the other students at Virginia Tech and the rest of the nation, had a hard time coming to grips with the reality of the situation.
Everyone was just shocked, he said. It was just something that you couldnt even imagine happening, especially at Virginia Tech. The people there are so nice and the community is just so together, its something you wouldnt expect to happen. Its still tough for me to believe that it actually happened.
At a school like Virginia Tech, where sports are such a tremendous part of campus life, Dowdell said he felt that some of the responsibility of boosting morale on campus fell on the shoulders of the student athletes.
Personally, I felt like it was an opportunity to show the other students and the people in the community that were people too, he said. You might see us on TV and think were out of reach, but I think it was a great chance to get closer to the community and let them know that were there for them.
Dowdell took his efforts one step further by donating $5,000 of his own money to the relief effort.
I felt like it was just a small thing for me to do, to give back, because Virginia Tech has given me so much and provided so many opportunities for me, I felt like it was the least that I could do and try to give back. I had no problem doing that.
Since that time, Dowdell has been training at IMG Academy in Florida to prepare for draft day. He has been working out with several other players, including Ron Lewis, J.R. Reynolds, Justin Cage and Avis Wyatt, all while under the instruction of renowned basketball trainer David Thorpe. Dowdell stated that the stiff competition on the court has really helped him improve his game.
Youre not going to have much of a fall off against those guys; you have to bring it every day, he said. I mean those are some competitive guys, so if you slack off just a little bit theyre going to take advantage of it. I really think weve been going at it pretty hard, and Ive had some great workouts as a result of it.
A typical day for Dowdell consists of two basketball workouts and a session in the weight room. During the first workout, Thorpe has the players focusing on explosiveness, so dunking is encouraged as well as plenty of jumping related activities. Afterwards, the players move to the weight room, focusing on core strength and more explosive movements. The second on-court workout focuses more on shooting, offensive moves, and 5-on-5 play.
In addition to all of the physical training, Dowdell has been receiving, IMG works with the players on off the court activities as well. The players receive media training in which they learn how to handle themselves in the public eye. They also receive what Dowdell referred to as mental conditioning, where players are prepared to deal with any tough situations that may arise during their pro careers. As a whole, Dowdell stated that his work at IMG is worlds away from what his training was like while still in school.
Its almost like night and day, because its a lot more intense, he said. I mean the amount of stuff we get done in a day at IMG would probably take us almost a week to get done at Virginia Tech. So there is definitely a difference, its been very helpful to me.
In addition to his explosiveness, which he has been receiving plenty of work on; Dowdell said he wanted to specifically improve his outside shooting abilities while at IMG.
I really wanted to get accustomed to the NBA three, he said. Thats something that I really wanted to show everyone, that I could knock that shot down. Ive been doing a good job of that so far in our workouts. But I really went in with an open mind, wanting to work on everything, wanting to improve on everything. I didnt want to leave any part of my game out.
Now with the Orlando pre-draft camp just hours away, Dowdell has another opportunity to further improve his draft stock. With the NBA lottery completed, the picture is starting to become a little clearer as to what players will go where. But if you ask Dowdell about his stock, he frankly couldnt care less.
I really try not to get into that stuff, he said. I just try to go in everyday and work hard, do the things that Coach Thorpe has been telling me to do. I control the things I can control, and I dont worry about the things I cant control.

The Frank Bette Center for the Arts will be hosting a kind of wild thing this Friday night: Its first-ever "Body Paint Jam," where, according to the FBCA website, "versatile, comfortable cosmetic paints, costumes, even prosthetics combine in the hands of skilled artists to create visionary artistic statements."
Since I generally associate face painting with kids' birthday parties and street fairs, I sat down with featured artist, Alana Dill recently, to find out just how a face painter could end up at a gallery.
Q: So this face painting business — it's considered an art?
A: Oh yes. I've gone to two major conventions, taken classes on airbrushing and other techniques. People are getting very innovative with face and body painting. If you look at say, Pashur, who works out of Nevada, or Christopher Agostino or Brian and Nick Wolfe, you'll see the artistry and vision they bring to their work. Agostino, for instance, does face painting as a part of story telling. In the course of narrating myths to an audience, he transforms people into the characters. It's very powerful.
Q: What kinds of face and body painting do you do?
A: I certainly do kids' parties (and I use all non-toxic paints, by the way). But I also paint women's pregnant bellies (like with gardens, and trees, and flowers), teen-agers, and grown men.
Q: What do grown men like to be painted as?
A: Well, men like to look scary at Halloween. They like to be respected. And they seem to have a fascination with flaming balls!
Q: What do you like about face and body painting?
I like the intimacy of it. I like matching the requested design to a person's personality and the structures of their face and I enjoy the magic of painting someone else, the emotional connection that develops. And I'm intrigued by the mix of psychology and anthropology, as well. Some people believe that body painting was one of the earliest forms of art. Today, Western culture is the only culture in which men and women don't both paint themselves. But children, of course, do still love to smear things all over themselves.
You know, I used to have to be alone to paint. But now I think that isolation is actually detrimental to the artist. I'm much more satisfied with the collaborative nature of body painting. I think collaboration is the very highest form of communication. For instance, if a little girl asks me to make her up to be a Disney princess, I like to help her figure out what kind of princess she would like to be — so she's not just becoming a carbon copy of someone else. It's a fascinating process.

Construction of three new tennis courts at the Victoria Pleasure Ground, Uckfield, is set to give the sport in schools a boost.
The new courts could be in public use next month, subject to no weather delays.
The scheme will see the courts run in future by a not-for-profit organisation, known as the Urban Tennis Foundation. It will be the town council's tenant.
Residents wishing to use the courts will have to buy, in advance, "key fobs" from a new website and will be able to book the courts for use.
It will signal the end of "turn up and play" tennis in the town but it does mean people will be able to guarantee use of a court.
The scheme has been designed to give Uckfield good quality courts, where it will be possible to offer coaching.
As part of the agreement between the council and Urban Tennis Foundation, coaching will be offered to residents, subject to demand. Initial proposals are for sessions on Saturday and Sunday mornings, plus two midweek sessions.
One court will always be available for public use.
Old tennis equipment on the site is being sold off by the town council and the money raised will be used to buy an annual key fob for the town's schools.
"This would see six schools receive group access to the courts and would be a positive use of the proceeds from the sale of the old equipment," a report to town councillors said.
Members have also been told the new facility will include a practice/rebound wall.
Uckfield Town Council is funding the £76,000 project. A total of £55,000 came from the Section 106 agreement for the Sandpits housing development in Lewes Road, £12,000 from the Section 106 agreement for the Fernley Park development in Eastbourne Road, which was specifically to be spent on the Victoria Pleasure Ground; with £9,000 from the council's own Victoria development fund.
Section 106 agreements are legally binding on developers which have to pay specified sums to improve infrastructure in return for the development being allowed. It is sometimes called a "roof tax".
The Lawn Tennis Association has provided a grant to pay for associated costs with setting up the website needed to run the scheme, the key fob technology, gate fabrication costs and to provide training and equipment to "increase participation in the sport across all ages and abilities".
An aim of the Urban Tennis Foundation is to provide a "sinking fund" to ensure the courts continue without any future financial demands on the town council.
If all goes well, the courts will be in use during February. In late March the contractor will finish off items that need to be done in better weather.
An official opening will take place later in the spring.

Self-Selection, Prenatal Care, and Birthweight Among Blacks, Whites and Hispanics in New York City
NBER Working Paper No. 3549 (Also Reprint No. r1943)
Most research on birth outcomes has found a direct relationship between appropriate prenatal care and increased birthweight. Researchers concede, however, that without a randomized design, which is clearly unethical, one cannot determine how much of the association is due to the medical intervention and how much is due to the characteristics of the women receiving the care. In short, the degree of selection bias is unknown and potentially substantial. In this paper we test for selection bias and estimate its direction and magnitude. We find that adjusted mean differences in birthweight between women who obtain intermediate as opposed to inadequate prenatal care substantially underestimate the effects of care that would be observed under random assignment. In particular, ordinary least squares estimates indicate that the gains to intermediate care are 113 grams for black infants, 76 grams for white infants and 92 grams for Hispanic infants. Under random assignment, black infants would experience gains of 130 grams, whites 234 grams, and Hispanics 183 grams. The gains for adequate as opposed to intermediate care are relatively minor. The results point to adverse selection in the demand for prenatal care.

Dear friends
I forgot to mention that during my break I removed the braids and so, to the delight of some work colleagues, my afro is back 🙂 And it's bigger!!
Comments in the past week have been as follows:
I love it when your hair is like that – it's more you! 🙂
Have you had your hair cut? 😦
Make sure you leave it, don't cut it so you can do an afro like Will I Am! 😉
And the classic (oops, stylish, as she would describe it!) comment from my eldest daughter who just had her hair done in braids:
You don't really suit long hair! 🙄
It was great to reduce my helmet by 4 cm to fit on my reduced hair for site visits today 🙂

The weather was a welcome change from the constant air conditioning of airports and planes. Feeling the sun on bare skin warmed us right through.
This walk was not just a gentle meander, but a walk with a purpose. We were taking part in the Big Butterfly Count. This is a great project aimed at taking a survey of the butterfly population.
Although many of the subjects were too fluttery for my dozy eyes and tired shutter fingers, I did manage to snap a few of these precious little insects.
And while out and about I couldn't help but feel a little Hugh Fearnly-Whittingstall gathering some blackberries from the 'wild larder'.
Those of you that are in the U.K. and have joined in the Big Butterfly Count, I would love to hear which sorts you found.
Take care

Bay Area stocks took a beating Monday as investors showed widespread displeasure about reports that President Donald Trump is going to step up the likelihood of an out-and-out trade war with China.
The latest trade rhetoric coming out of the White House is said to include the blocking of some technological exports to China, and preventing companies that are at least 25 percent Chinese-owned from acquiring U.S. companies determined to be involved in certain types of technology industries.
Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said in a statement to The Wall Street Journal late Sunday, "The President has made clear his desire to protect American technology." He added that any methods deemed to better protect American technology, "including potential changes to export controls, are under review."
Fears about increasing trade tensions with China drove the Dow Jones Industrial Average down by 328.09 points, or 1.3 percent, to end the day at 24,252.80. It was the blue chip Dow's lowest close since May 4.
"If there's one thing markets don't like, it's uncertainty, and right now Trump and the brewing U.S.-China trade war is causing a lot of it," said Jesse Cohen, senior analyst with Investing.com. "It increasingly looks like Washington and Beijing are engaging in a game of chicken, and no one wants to be the first to blink."
The Nasdaq Composite Index, which includes many of the leading tech stocks, also suffered, falling 160.81 points, or 2.1 percent, to close at 7,532.01.
The broad-based S&P 500 fell 37.81 points, or 1.4 percent, to end the day at 2,717.07.
The report about Trump's latest salvo at China was enough to hammer the shares of every major tech company around Silicon Valley and the rest of the region. Chipmakers, many of whom maintain manufacturing facilities in China, were among those bruised by the latest trade war fears.
Intel, the world's largest semiconductor maker, fell by 3.4 percent, to close at $50.71 a share; AMD gave up 4.4 percent, to end the day at $15.11; Nvidia shares slumped by 4.7 percent, to close at $239.12; and Xilinx shares were trimmed by 2 percent, to $65.48.
Among other leading area companies, Apple shares fell 1.5 percent to $182.17; Netflix slumped by 6.5 percent, to close at $384.48 a share; and HP shares gave up 3 percent, to close at $23.09.
Rob Enderle, of tech research firm the Enderle Group, said that if the Trump administration goes through with the plans reported by The Wall Street Journal, "the collateral damage, if this goes on for a while, could be massive on both sides."
"It creates a bit of a mess, which is just as much about the fluidity of this thing as it is about the tariffs," Enderle said. "Acquisitions are being messed up, often the vendors have to absorb the tariffs depending on the relationship or contract. When they start passing through the extra costs, some may eventually get priced out of market in both geographies."
While as of Monday no local companies spoke out in response to Trump's latest trade policies, one national company that Trump has lauded as an ally showed its feelings about the administration's new tariff standards: Harley-Davidson said Monday it will move the production of motorcycles meant for sale in Europe to locations outside the United States. Harley-Davidson said in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission that it needed to relocate production of such motorcycles because European Union tariffs imposed in response to new U.S. import taxes would add $2,200 to the average cost of one of its motorcycles if built in the U.S. and then sold in Europe.

It is an attempted and genuine country to have your business; clients don't occasionally bring an eyebrow up in requesting having a Hong Kong addresses.
Now and again, businesses have been merging in Hong Kong with an extraordinary objective to abstain from covering higher government commitments in their country of cause, a loophole that is reliably being solidified up for occupants.
In case you are a transient in this place, you should think about what is changing, how that could affect you, what's more what things you may need to do in that limit as to be out of issue with costs concerning starting companies Hong Kong.
Some More Factors To Keep In Mind…
Here are a couple of parts to review should you be amped up for starting companies Hong Kong:

Perfect battery recycling you have been expected so long
Recycling used batteries can present several dangers, such as overheating, smoke and fire. Potential risks can occur at all stages of collection, transportation and recycling – from the original deposit point to sorting at local recycling plants, and from FedEx / UPS to sorting and recycling at the plant. . You must take precautionary measures to protect yourself and your staff when sorting, packing, or transporting batteries.
The most serious risks in a collection program are fires and their subsequent effects, such as explosions that can occur when battery terminals rub against metal parts or other spark-producing materials. These Kinsbursky brothers company information are imparted.
Depot points must absolutely prevent these risks in their own premises and at any point where collection boxes stop on their way to the recycling plant. Call2Recycle recommends following these simple steps to eliminate any hazard and comply with the requirements of the US Department of
Transportation and Transport:
Read the enclosed information and safety instructions on your collection box.
Batteries must weigh 11 pounds or less (5 kg) each
No dry, damaged or defective battery
Shape each member of your team who will handle the collection box or batteries.
Protect terminals by putting them in a bag or wrapping them with tape.
In the United States, the following batteries and batteries should be placed in a bag or sealed with tape to comply with US Department of Transportation regulations:
Rechargeable: lithium-ion (Li-Ion), nickel metal hydride (Ni-MH) over 9 volts, nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) over 9 volts, nickel-zinc ( Ni-Zn) over 9 volts and small sealed lead acid batteries (PPSPA)
Primary / disposable: alkaline and carbon-zinc over 12 volts, lithium and button cells
If in doubt, tape them around or put them in a bag!
The following batteries must be taped or bagged:
Primary / disposable: lithium metal
Rechargeable: Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) and Small Lead Acid Sealed Batteries (PPSPA)
Check that there is only one battery or battery (or cell phone with battery) per bag. To ensure even safer collection and transportation, Call2Recycle encourages you to follow the one-battery-per-bag rule for all old batteries. Do not have bags? Then wrap the exposed terminals with non-conductive tape before placing the batteries in the collection box.
The company, in British Columbia, is one of the few who recycles electric car batteries. In recent years, she receives more and more. The first were prototypes to be destroyed, then added those of damaged cars or others that have aged prematurely. The factory now recycles about forty per month.
Stiff Winds Charge Up Moffett Cup
The race was sailed for the first time in a stiff windy weather in 4 years as the winds from northeast nudged 20 knots as per the sailors. Aileen, who was skippered with the help of Brian Roberts, achieved a 41st edition of Moffett Cup on Saturday.
He was at his best with an estimated time, which took a fleet of around 32 sailors on a long stretch starting from East Chop till Edgartown and in the center of Nantucket Sound and finally back to the Vineyard Haven Harbour.
Aileen did sail the course with the given duration of 2 hours and 17 minutes, which is close to an hour fast compared to her closes rival. This was indeed enough to handle the stiff handicap for the remaining fleet by applying the time modifications precisely. Although, Aileen is relatively new as far as Vineyard Haven water competitions are concerned, but her crew thought the Moffett race to be the toughest one to face.
Mr. Roberts said that they were quite excited as it was the actual test. The initial 15 to 20 knot wind did continue for many hours. Despite of weather conditions, the performance shown by sailors was outstanding and the management was also amazed.
As per Risk Haslet, the performance of the boat was like a dream considering the stiff conditions. It was the first time they experienced rain in water and the conditions were just perfect. Haslet said it was the best boat he has ever sailed and it is a dream of every sailor. Mo Flam, the Commodore of Holmes Hole Sailing Association bagged 2nd place in the Moffett Race and the time difference between the winners was less than 3 minutes. Soma Holiday skippered by Frank Sutula achieved 3rd place.
Stephen Besse has been the winner in the previous Moffett Races and this time he was in 13th place as he sailed under a handicap which was applied for the winners of earlier years.
Greater Details for the Proper Crypto Works Now
With a peak of more than $ 4,000 reached this summer, bitcoin has once again been talked about and attracted investors neophytes. Here's what you need to know before you start.
The term bitcoin refers to a crypto currency created in 2009 by one or more computer programmers using the pseudonym "Satoshi Nakamoto". It does not depend on any central bank and its price is only fixed by supply and demand. Its users can conduct transactions against goods or services. They can also trade against traditional currencies such as the euro or the dollar. Each transaction is encrypted in the Bitcoinblockchain, a sort of universal and decentralized database. It is open and searchable by everyone.
- Choose your platform in a hurry
You can buy bitcoins through specialized platforms. To choose which one, it's all about knowing what you want to do. Some only manage bitcoins, while others offer to buy and sell other crypto-currencies. They levy more or less important commissions and demand identity verification. It is advised to you Coin base, Kraken, or The House of Bitcoin who are known for their seriousness. Choosing the right platform is important: Tog, once the first platform in volume, crashed sharply in 2014 after hacking. Nearly 750,000 bitcoins were stolen. At the current price, it represents 33, 11,947.90dollars. Visit https://www.amarkets.com/promo/ for more on this.
- Believe it's tax-free
Do not believe that the transactions are anonymous and that no one will know if you have made a great gain. The French tax authority asks to enter the amount of the latter in the non-commercial profit box (BNC) at the time of completing the tax return.
- See only the interest of speculation
Bitcoin has been conceived as an alternative way of doing business. The actors do not undergo the arbitrary decisions of the central banks and pass traditional intermediaries (banks, PayPal, Visa, MasterCard, etc.). Thus, an exchange does not involve commissions and is much faster: when an international transfer takes several hours or even days, a transaction in bitcoins only takes a handful of seconds. Like an e-mail.
- Do not secure your deposits
As we have seen, the crash in 2014 shows that your bitcoins can disappear. You have to be aware that hackers can steal you as if stealing your gold bars from a bank. No platform provides deposit insurance. However, there is a secure solution: you can transfer your bitcoins to a hard drive that is not connected to the Internet. Be careful, however, not to erase your hard drive! You can also buy a physical electronic wallet. Thanks to this tool that looks like a USB key, it is impossible to perform a transaction without entering a PIN and you can recover the bitcoins in case of loss.
Definition and Explanation RFI: Request for Information
The Request for Information is part of the pre-selection of potential software manufacturers and solutions. Companies ask non-binding price and performance information from software providers. The term Request for Information (RFI) comes from the field of e-business and describes a process from the software tendering of companies. Often this whole process together with a general pre-selection is called Request for Information. Find out more on this website.
Request for Proposal as a concrete request
In addition to the RFI, there is a Request for Proposal (RFP) in the software selection and software procurement. After obtaining a rough overview of the prices and services for general products from different providers, the Request for Proposal asks for more detailed information about possible software solutions. In contrast to the RFI, the RFP consists of binding offers and should only be requested from those providers who are realistically eligible.
Chapter / Contents of a Request for Information (RFI)
For a RFI, you need a good structure to almost completely take into account all the important things in the tendering process.
Target Description / Purpose
This chapter explains what you want to do with the system. Ideally, this is a process description that explains how this system should support the processes.
Definitions / abbreviations
In general, business terms and abbreviations are used by default in companies. Always assume that terms are used in other companies in a different modified context.
Declaration of trust
All information provided in this document and the entire tendering process must be kept strictly confidential. This chapter should be written together with the purchasing department and the legal department.
Description of the tender process
This section describes the schedule, rules and contacts and their roles. The selection criteria and potential exclusion criteria must also be described here.
Functional and non-functional requirements
All functional functions should be described in this section.Non-functional requirements include usability / usability requirements, authorization concept, operational processes, documentation and training.
Technical requirements
Technical requirements such as requirements for hardware and middleware, performance, scalability, reliability, robustness, data security, technical architecture, etc. are also part of the RFI.
Commercial Requirements
Information about licensing models, business models such as product vendors, licensing providers, service companies, etc. are queried in this chapter.
Conclusion: Strategy and Partnership
This very important chapter poses questions and requirements for the software provider regarding strategic direction and partnerships. Product strategy, near shore, offshore, outsourcing and strategic alliances are part of this chapter. Presentation Current financial status, number of employees in product development, industry expertise, employee policy, etc. are important information for a strategic partnership and are queried in this chapter of the RFI. As you can see the whole range of facilities of RFI in BPM sector, the quality of the BPM system thus should also be high in quality.
Endless Opportunities for the Proper Crypto Trading
The number one rule for investing in cryptocurrencies is this: do not put all your eggs in one basket! As is the case for traditional finance, diversification helps to limit risks and build a profitable and sustainable portfolio. Here are our tips.
Determine your needs
Before investing in other cryptocurrencies, it is necessary to know if you need to diversify your portfolio. Indeed if your budget is only 100 euros diversification will be useless: because of low-value increases, it is not wise to dilute such a small sum between several cryptocurrencies. We advise you to opt for diversification for the capital of at least 500 euros.
É studies market
As the famous Warren Buffet says, never invest in a project, you do not understand. This is true for traditional investments, and even more relevant for crypto-currencies! Ignore white papers that are too tempting, to be honest, and take an interest in the news and absorb as much information as you can about the market to identify substantial projects. If you need to know more than you can visit the https://www.amarkets.com/news/ now.
Choose the ratio of your portfolio
Most portfolios are distributed as follows: a low-risk category, a medium-risk category and a high-risk category. If the investment in each of these categories can vary, the percentages are usually 50% / 30% / 20%
Less risky assets (Bitcoin)
It is advisable to invest 50% of your capital in the safest assets, and therefore to buy Bitcoins (see the list of buybitcoin.info for example). If to associate Bitcoin with a "safe" category may seem surprising, it is nevertheless the most robust cryptocurrency on the market, which enjoys a certain legitimacy. Bitcoin acts as a standard on the market and can be exchanged on all platforms. It is also a benchmark, namely that other virtual currencies are not listed in euros or dollars but Bitcoins.
Moderate risk assets (Bitcoin Cash or Litecoin)
It's time to take a look at some riskier assets! We advise you to turn to crypto-currencies already widespread and with the largest capitalisations for 30% of your portfolio. We think in particular of Bitcoin Cash and Litecoin which are considered as alternatives to Bitcoin. If Bitcoin loses its value, you will reduce your exposure.
High-risk assets (Ripple)
We think here of assets that are permanently installed in the sector but whose future is still unknown. The Ripple falls into this category, because of its very large capitalisation associated with agreements with the big banks. Alternatives to Ethereum can also help reduce the dependence of your wallet on this virtual currency: NEO, Ethereum Class and Cardano represent new solutions. You can get the best options for these now and so you can expect the best return for the same.
Newspapers are an important part of the life
In the modern society newspaper has a direct impact on information, but at present they are replaced more and more by the Internet, which has its both positive and negative results. For modern society, quality and timely information is one of the main values. Its creation and dissemination is a function of the media, among which one of the oldest is the periodical press.The role of newspapers and magazines in the life of society is enormous. Magazines, newspapers, popular science and fiction are the main means of storing and transferring from generation to generation all the achievements of science and culture.
Important to stay informative
For people of all ages, magazines and newspapers serve as a source of knowledge, help to learn and appreciate life, to understand the laws of social relations and natural phenomena. Particularly great is the role of the press for the formation of the social and moral ideals of man, for assimilating the norms of social behavior.To date, the press is competing with television and the Internet. But still it remains one of the important sources of information. The age of the Internet significantly influences the history of the periodical press. To preserve and expand the number of readers, printed periodicals have their own online version, place issues and create archives on their websites on the Internet.
Thus, it can be concluded that print media remain relevant sources of information for modern people. The Internet and information technologies can act not only as a competing factor. The role of informative newspapers and magazines in the life of society is enormous. Magazines, newspapers, popular science and fiction are the main means of storing and transferring from generation to generation all the achievements of science and culture. For people of all ages, magazines and newspapers serve as a source of knowledge, help to learn and appreciate life, to understand the laws of social relations and natural phenomena.
Conclusion: basic importance
In the work of the school, newspapers and magazines are one means of carrying out educational tasks. They are for students a source of knowledge about nature, about people's lives in the past, about differences in the social order and life of people of different countries.Influencing the reader's emotions and mind, articles of newspapers and magazines create the desire to live in him worthily, to earn the respect of the collective, to awaken labor energy and creative forces. Reading articles delivers aesthetic pleasure, pleases meeting with beauty in life, and reveals the wealth and beauty of the native language. Children's magazines, read by students, store in themselves the ideas of good and justice, they talk about people of a noble and brave soul, about honest and courageous actions, about self-denying work, about the struggle against evil and violence.

The little green man with the red boots. That voice inside your head that cunningly infects the way you think, insisting you miss that snack, skip that class and do that compulsion just one more time. Just. One. More. Time. JUST. ONE. MORE. TIME…
For a long time, I struggled to separate OCD, anorexia etc. from myself. This was particularly evident at the beginning of therapy, whereby OCD and I were pretty much one and the same. I couldn't distinguish between the two. To me, my existence was purely just OCD and there wasn't really anything else I could say about myself. It was one of my goals in therapy to discover the real me. Who was I underneath all the struggles? One of the ways in which my therapist and I tried to do this, was to personify my OCD (which over time just came to encompass all of the mental health issues I was trying to deal with). What we ended up coming up with was the little green man with the red boots, which, upon reflection, really makes me smile because I'm honestly not too sure how we initially came up with the name, but since then it's just stuck.
I think what helped me most about this, was the fact that I now had a visual representation of that horrible voice in my head that would so often control my life and make me despise my existence. We gave it an accent so I could easily distinguish it between my own thoughts and disorder driven thoughts. I also actually ended up drawing an image of what I thought it would look like too. Although…it came out slightly cuter than I meant it to, but I think it still fits because, as I'm sure a lot of you know, although deep down we're aware that carrying out a compulsion or restricting food is detrimental to our recovery, the voice of OCD/anorexia/the little green man with the red boots still manages to distort our view and convince us otherwise. It appears on the surface welcoming and, if I'm honest, even strangely comforting, but deep down it's just going to make us unwell and unhappy. Which is why we must try and fight against it.
Within-session, my therapist would also encourage me to put the little green man with the red boots in a jar next to my chair, if she saw that I was struggling to open up about something. This really helped me to speak up about how I was genuinely feeling, rather than bottling it all up or giving a censored version of my feelings because of shame the little green man and the red boots would create and make me feel. That way, it would be less likely for me to leave the session disappointed in myself for not actually talking about the things I'd wanted to and then having to wait another week/two weeks before I would have the opportunity to do so again…I've done that way too many times. Yikes!
Now, if you're sitting there thinking 'what on earth is this girl on about, how could that ever work?!' then that's totally okay. I would never expect this method to work for everyone. To be honest, I don't think it would have the same effect even if you just lifted my example of the little green man with the red boots and applied it to your own therapy process exactly. It wouldn't be authentic to you, which is one of the most crucial aspects to focus on when personifying your mental illness/struggles. Our individual journeys are all so unique, so to me, there will never be a cookie cutter example/technique that fits all. That's one of the awesome things about therapy and recovery in general, you can shape and mould it in any way you'd like in order to fit you and your needs at that present time. Of course, you can totally take the little green man with the red boots concept with you, but please make sure to personalise it. Make a new name. Does it even have a name? Envisage what you think your struggle would look like. What accent does it have? Does it have any specific mannerisms? Does it have a gender? It can be as simple, or as complex as you'd like!
What I hope I've done sharing this, is to normalise the different techniques and skills we use in therapy and to cope day to day. Never be embarrassed to use what works for you. Sure, most 18-year-olds don't have this little creature personifying their struggles and I'm sure I'd get a few confused looks if I tried to explain it, but that's fine. It doesn't need to please or suit them. No matter how strange you may think a skill that you use is, I promise it's still worth doing. Don't limit yourself because you don't think it's the 'normal' way to recover, or that other people may judge you because of it. Don't let anyone dictate what you can and can't do to recover. You know yourself better than anyone else.
Be confident in your journey.
Apologies for not having posted for so long…things have been tricky, so it's been hard to get my brain to do the writing thing.
Hope you're all well & let me know what techniques you use to cope/challenge your struggles!

Pre-election Kyrgyzstan: Double game of President Atambayev?
Election of the new head of Kyrgyzstan will be held on Sunday, 15 October. The closer the time of voting, the more bold statements the incumbent president allows himself. He managed to spoil relations not only with his former colleagues. Speaking on 7 October, at the ceremony of awarding teachers, a little too passionate amid election, Almazbek Atambayev "hit" the head of neighboring Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev, having managed to insult not only the leader but the country and the government together.
Almazbek Atambayev said that Kazakhstan "is imposing its candidate." Under the latter, he had in mind the ex-prime minister Omurbek Babanov, whose ranking, according to various opinion polls, is significantly higher than that of Sooronbai Jeenbekov - pro-government candidate. Atambayev accused his Kazakh counterpart that after meeting with the presidential candidate Babanov, Nazarbayev interferes in the internal affairs of Kyrgyzstan.
Kyrgyz President Atambayev even refused to attend a meeting of the Council of Heads of State of the Commonwealth of the Independent States and the Higher Eurasian Economic Council, which passed in Sochi on 10-11 October. Instead of himself, he decided to send his "right-hand man," Prime Minister Sapar Isakov.
The Office of the President circulated a message saying: "Given the revealed facts of preparation of mass riots on election day by some politicians with the involvement of criminals, as well as financial support for such politicians from abroad, the president decided to cancel his working visit in order to personally control the order and security in the country."
Atambayev's nervous attacks are quite understandable. The influence of the opposition candidate is growing because the electorate believes Babanov is a lesser evil than Jeenbekov, who promises to continue the failed policy of the incumbent president. Even the administrative resource and the involvement of crime do little to help convince the population.
The situation has escalated to such an extent that the authorities may try to remove Omurbek Babanov from the election race. In turn, it would cause people's displeasure. On 10 October, the Central Election Commission issued a third warning after complaints of violations allegedly committed by presidential candidate Babanov.
Fergana turned to the experts with the question of whether there should be any social protests and why President Atambayev abstained from going to a meeting with his colleagues in Sochi, Russia.
Russian political scientist Arkady Dubnov recalled an example from his school youth.
"When we went to school, and if we messed, the next day it was scary to come because they could scold us or call our parents. Atambayev behaves like a schoolboy and fears of being alone with Nursultan Nazarbayev. After all, he insulted not only him personally, but the whole country. Atambayev cannot even imagine how he will sit at the same table with other heads of the CSTO (Collective Security Treaty Organisation) and the Eurasian Economic Union.
As for the possibility of riots, if they happen, then Almazbek Atambayev personally will be to blame for them. They will become possible because of his provocative statements and actions. If his rhetoric keeps on the verge of only insults, the elections will still pass without problems. But if he finds an excuse to remove Babanov, then riots are possible.
A well-known political observer in Kyrgyzstan Naryn Ayip believes that the threat of destabilisation of the situation is not too real.
"Atambayev remains in the country to monitor the preparation and conduct of the elections," the journalist said. "It is possible that without it power structures can limit themselves to the performance of their direct duties, without exceeding the constitutional powers. Similarly, in the fall of 2015, the Kyrgyz president cancelled his already scheduled visit to New York to the UN General Assembly before the parliamentary elections in Kyrgyzstan. Then he travelled to the regions, openly campaigning for the Social Democratic Party (SDPK) and got the desired result. It turns out that he does not really believe that his subordinates will do everything in their power to his interests without his direct control. And indeed it is.
Political scientist Aleksander Knyazev believes that the information of Atambayev's office implies readiness for provocations aimed either at removing the main opponent of the power Omurbek Babanov from the campaign, or for abolishing elections in principle and appointing new election.
"It will mean a fundamentally new list of candidates, in which Prime Minister Sapar Isakov is likely to be the reserve candidate from Atambayev. The reserve was Deputy Prime Minister Temir Djumakadirov and in this context his death is extraordinary. The cancellation of Atambayev's trip to Sochi has several meanings. It is another look at Isakov taking into account changing circumstances. It is the impossibility of conflict-free participation of Atambayev himself in the summits and his meetings, in particular, with Nazarbayev. And probably his fear of leaving Kyrgyzstan unattended, although in reality, then there is very little that is happening and that can happen depends on him.
Expert Igor Shestakov noted that the cancellation of Atambayev's visit to Sochi might be due to several reasons.
"The first is an election, as, as you know, Almazbek Atambayev promised that they will pass honestly, without using administrative resources and in a calm atmosphere. And personally, the head of state acted as the guarantor of the peaceful transfer of power. Now the situation in Kyrgyzstan is quite tense, given the high level of political competition. A tragic death in the car accident of the vice-premier on the power bloc of Temir Djumakadirov, who headed the Republican election headquarters, rendered a certain influence on the incandescence of the situation. In general, it cannot be ruled out that there can be any incidents or provocations on the eve of the election or the day of voting. I remember that on the eve of the presidential elections in 2011 there were also rumours about possible rallies and provocations. But then the pre-election situation was much calmer than now. As for more specific versions of possible riots, these are questions, more likely, to representatives of law enforcement agencies.
The second reason the expert called possible interest of Atambayev was that the young head of government had the opportunity to declare himself as a politician at such a representative interstate forum.
"As it is known, constitutional amendments come into force on 1 December, which significantly increases the status of the head of the government. The initiator was the president himself. Many foreign policy issues, in the context of economic interaction, will be in the prime minister's area of responsibility. And there will be a meeting of the Supreme Council of the heads of state of the EAEC in Sochi, where Sapar Isakov will have an opportunity to present the prospects for the work of the new Cabinet to the heads of state - the foremost trade and economic partners of Kyrgyzstan. In this regard, the participation of Sapar Isakov looks even more logical.
Human rights activist and lawyer Dinara Mukanbayeva is sure that the threat of mass riots is possible only on the part of the authorities.
"Perhaps the authorities are preparing another provocation, they are professionals in this regard, especially the Osh events of June 2010, when artificially pushing two ethnicities to distract the attention of the people from the main thing, was remembered by the Provisional Government engaged in redistribution of power, robbed and divided the people money among themselves. The authorities carefully prepared for the upcoming election: they removed the undesirables, closed them in prisons, filled up activists and journalists with multimillion claims, closed independent media, staged harassment and intimidation of activists. I believe that the present government is a threat, which does not want to leave.
Human rights activist Zulfiya Marat said that not only mass protests of the opposition in the capital or the regions had not been scheduled for 10-11 October, but even any rallies in the centre of the capital are banned.
"The State Committee for National Security reported about starting criminal proceedings on the violent coup attempt against Babanov's supporter, Member of Parliament Kanatbek Isayev. It is a third similar charge for a year and a half against those who dared to have a different opinion than the president. Before that, several former MPs sentenced to long terms of imprisonment. Speaking of the cancellation of the visit of the head of state to Sochi to meet with colleagues, I think we should have been expected it after he offended the leader of neighbouring Kazakhstan.
We presented the opinions of only a few of the experts interviewed. And many agree that if any excesses in the country occur, it will be more the current government's fault. Atambayev, though he promises honest elections, is actually playing a double game, promoting his protégé. And it is the actions of the president that can become a catalyst for protests that are capable of escalating into mass riots.

Mr. Karazawa has a sick sister and he's been running experiments for quite some time to try and figure out a way to cure her. The only thing his tests haven't been experimented on have been a human. He gets a call from a man who calls himself Kato who knows all about his tests and experiments. He offers him the perfect test subject, a female human body. The next day he receives the body and begins to run tests on it. First he connects a bunch of wires to certain parts from the face. Such as an eye and an ear he removed from the body, along with her tongue that had to stay in tact. Everything works fine separately, but once he starts getting everything going at the same time, her body starts to burn. Her hand starts to deteriorate and eventually falls off. The body was too old.
Kato pays Karazawa a visit the next day. When Kato offers him a proposition, Karazawa quickly turns it down. Kato then begins to black mail him by showing him the virus he installed into his computer. Kato has one part of the code to fix the virus, his partner (Keiko) has the other half. Now demanding to see his laboratory, Karazawa brings him out back where a giant saw blade comes flying out of nowhere and chops off Kato's legs. After dying from blood loss, Karazawa brings him back to life three days later. But Karazawa was only able to bring back his head. He programs new thoughts into his brain and has him call Keiko to get the other piece of the code.
Keiko arrives with the other piece of the code later that day. When she's brought to see the remaining part of Kato, she drops the code and begins to stroke his face out of sadness. The new memories that were programmed into Kato begin coming into effect as he starts to choke Keiko with a robotic arm Karazawa hooked up to him. His emotions start to go out of control and all the wires he's hooked up to began to short circuit. Keiko knocks over the table Kato is hooked up to and then they both die shortly after. Karazawa wheels in his sister in a wheelchair and begins cutting out Keiko's heart. Now with a healthy heart in hand, his sister has a chance of longer life.
Not really a sequel to the other Guinea Pig films, but it seems as if it could be tied in with the first one,
Devil's Experiment
. The female body that Kato sent to Karazawa could have easily been played off as the beaten woman from Devil's Experiment. It's not to likely that's what they were going for, but then there was nothing said about it in the film that could make you think differently. This film was also better than the first, even though they can't really be compared since they were completely different types of films. But none the less. The scenery was pretty nice all around. Karazawa's laboratory was done up more on a realistic side. Lots equipment, doctors table, the normal stuff. It wasn't souped up with a million television screens and computer monitors, which was nice.
Plenty of gory scenes that were also staying on track of reality. When Karazawa took out an eyeball or an ear, all the ligaments were still attached to them, which looked incredibly real. Kato's head decayed over time, such as a real head cut from its body and left out in the open would do. When Keiko's heart was cut out, he had to break a few of her ribs to actually get to it. As simple as these things are, they're quite often ignored in movies. Five characters in all, even though one was just a cadaver. Each played their part decently. More enjoyable than the first in the series due to it actually being a real movie rather than a fake snuff-like film.
Final Conclusion: 8/10
- added 02/19/2007, 10:31 PM
Easily the third best of the series, following "He Never Dies" and "Flowers of Flesh and Blood"... this was actually an extremely sad peice... I was so dpressed when it was over... not many (non-Lynch) films can do that to me. 9.2/10
- added 06/15/2008, 04:59 PM
To be honest, I wasn't too crazy about this one. It wasn't horrible but it wasn't great either. I got a little bored with it. I'd give it a 6/10.

It's time for another edition of the Weekly Cuvée! Sure, it's been 2 weeks since the last edition, but that just means we have a lot more to talk about this time around. For anyone who missed the last one, the Weekly Cuvée is our (semi-) weekly wine and spirits news roundup. So without further ado, here's what's been going on in the wine and spirits world as of late.
First off, Great Northwest Wine reports that the 2013 Washington State grape harvest brought in upwards of 220,000 tons of grapes, shattering the previous record of 188,000 tons in 2012. This significant increase in tonnage is due to the large number of new vineyards in Washington. "We're not seeing any big surprises as far as yields being up or down," Kevin Corliss, vineyard operations director for Ste. Michelle Wine estates, told Great Northwest Wine. Corliss added that Merlot and Syrah yields were a little better than they predicted, while Cabernet Sauvignon fell behind slightly.
Back in New York, Sen. Charles Schumer recently announced his support of a proposal to remove a Prohibition-era law banning the shipment of alcohol through the United States Postal Service, according to USA Today. Currently, the shipment of beer, wine, and liquor is restricted to private shipping companies – the new law would only allow federally licensed breweries, wineries, and distilleries to ship via the USPS. According to Schumer, removal of the law could bring an estimated $225 million to the struggling Postal Service.
And now for some global news – some of you may have heard the recent rumors of a worldwide wine shortage. Thankfully, experts have rebuked these rumors, according to an SFGate article. While a report from MorganStanley claimed the world's wine demand surpassed supply by around 300 million cases in 2012, analysts say wine production has "increased significantly" while "consumption is stabilizing." So while we, of all people, are not going to tell you not to stock up (we have great case discounts!), we will say that it's probably not necessary to panic.
Finally, three whiskeys we love (and carry!) have made it on Wine Enthusiast's list of 7 Must-Try New York Whiskeys. While we're glad Catskill Distilling Company's Defiant Rye Whiskey, Tuthilltown Spirits' Hudson New York Corn Whiskey, and Warwick Valley Winery & Distillery's Black Dirt Bourbon all made the list, we find it a bit surprising that there was no mention of the Widow Jane Bourbon Whiskey. Regardless, it's nice to see some New York State spirits featured in a publication as prominent as Wine Enthusiast.
And that's it for this edition of the Weekly Cuvée – check back next week for our very first wine review, and be sure to 'like' us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter if you haven't already!

A clever elevator pitch is the tool of choice for serial entrepreneurs.
They use it to
- Get cash
- Get people
- Get legal
- Get started
"Tell me about your idea!" calls for an immediate response. Veterans are ready 24 by 7. They know the interested party is saying "Tell me an exciting, short story."
How short? The serial entrepreneur has two versions: 30 seconds and 3 minutes.
All words and numbers, no slides or handouts.
I've compiled a checklist for you to use as you create your elevator pitch. It's from the practices of the best of the best. Here it is:
Checklist: Your Elevator Pitch
- Like a movie trailer
- Quick story
- Snippets
- Boom, flash, quick, energy
- Facts, numbers
- Suggests
- Incomplete
- WOW! = emotion
- Mystery = enticement
- Grabber = "Tell me more!"
- Partial = just enough
- Number = potential
- Reason = $ or join us or blog about us
- 30 Second Version
- 3 Minute Version
When your elevator pitch looks like that, put it in your head and get ready. It's the most powerful tool you can use to get your startup going.
BOTTOM LINE: Startup veterans have a knack of assembling selected elements of their idea for a great startup, forming a short story that grabs attention, leading to meetings and decisions favorable to their new enterprises. Crafting such a story is indeed hard work, but well worth it. So use the checklist, craft your own versions of your story. Then put that to work as you set out to build an unfair competitive advantage.
I wish you The Best on your Adventure!

"Write a short story every week. It's not possible to write 52 bad short stories in a row."
My name is Mia.
I live in a tall house full of people . Two of them are my mama and papa. We have one room to ourselves, and the cellar where there is a fire, cabbage pickling in a large wooden barrel and washing always hanging to dry. Sometimes when it is cold outside mama brings in the clothes at night, stiff and frozen, smelling of frost and stars . Mama says Deda Mraz makes the nights cold in winter so that her washing will be sparkly and clean. She is always busy, my mama.
I help her, but I'm getting ready to start school which means that all the things I do every day will stop. Papa has bought me some new clothes for my first day and new shiny shoes. I look at them all the time and put them on. I like getting dressed. Clothes are my most favourite thing. He said I am going on my first day looking like a Highland dancer because the teacher is Scottish and she will be really pleased to see me. My papa is a clever man.
I don't know when I am going to start. The lady who came to look at me and measure me said it would be in the new year. But I am ready, now. It must be soon.
Everyone else in the house knows I am going and they have all given me presents. The old lady gave some crayons, she knows I like colouring in. The smelly man with a big red nose bought me a wooden pencil case full of things. It's a pity he smells. Mama says it's because he does dirty work and drinks a lot. She has to clean the bath two times after he has been in it.
The very hairy student, a grown-up who is still at school, gave me an English alphabet book. I know my other alphabet and can read and write already, but not in English. He has been teaching me to speak it and so have the neighbours. I can curse in English. The boys next door taught me.
The best people in the house live at the very top. They are lucky. They have two rooms. I call them Gino and Maria. I go to see them mostly every morning and night. In the morning I put shillings in their meter. I do that for everyone in the house. It is my favourite job. At night, before I go to bed, and after the student has read me a story, I go and sit with them. They play music a lot, we dance and have supper. I dip nice biscuits in hot milky coffee, get sleepy, and ready for bed.
Mama says they are Italian. Not like us. Gino has taught me lots of Italian words like prego, arrivederci , mamma mia, pizzeria, gelato, espresso. Their kitchen is bigger than ours and they have salami, cheese and many different kinds of biscuits. The smell from their cooking makes me hungry every day. Mama and papa eat with them sometimes because their food is so good.
Maria makes ice cream and keeps it in the freezer in the cellar. She has an ice cream place in the town and we always go when we are shopping. Gino works in a shop full of Italian food. He brings it back to the house and then I cook with him when he is not working
But sometimes I don't go up to their kitchen. I sit at the bottom of the stairs and listen to them . If they are shouting, mama says I must not knock on their door. They shout a lot when they are mad and sometimes Maria throws things. I hear smashing. It makes me laugh. Most of the time they are happy though. I think all that good food makes people happy. Music does too.
Sometimes I can hear a baby crying at night, in the house. I tell mama, but she says there are no babies here or next door. But I can hear it. It comes from upstairs, from Gino and Maria's room. I think they are hiding it from me.
It's not a loud baby. It has a sweet, sad cry, as if it doesn't yet know how loud its voice is. I think it might be a girl and this is why they are keeping it out of my sight. There is a place that goes under the roof with a door to it. She might be in there. Maybe they are hiding her from everyone.
Every time I went to visit I asked to play 'hide the object' so I could look in all the places that might be secret. But the baby wasn't anywhere. Not under the sofa, not in the cupboard or the oven. Not under the roof or in the giant wardrobe.
Then one day I asked Maria, where her baby was, I had to know. She was doing the washing up at the time and dropped a plate on the shiny floor. It smashed. I could feel her shaking. Then she started to sob. She cried and cried. I ran to her and put my arms around her legs and hugged her tightly.
'My baby has gone Mia. She went when she was just two days old.'
'Then I will be your baby', I said.
And so I was, always, Gino and Maria's baby girl. Mama said that was just fine.

Death by Unexplained Phenomenon
What exactly happened to cause the deaths of nine hikers in the Ural Mountains of Russia on Feb. 2, 1959, remains one of the country's most notorious unsolved mysteries. On Jan. 28, 10 students from the Ural Polytechnic Institute set off for some winter hiking. One member fell ill and was left behind to recuperate in a mountain settlement.
The other nine never made it out of the woods, and what investigators found was both frightening and confusing. Their abandoned tent was found ripped open from the inside, half buried in snow, with the shoes and belongings of the students still inside. The first two bodies were found at the edge of the forest, barefoot and dressed in their underwear. The next three bodies were found nearby in similar condition. Two months later, the last of the bodies were found buried in the snow about 250 feet (75 meters) from the first victims [source: sptimes.ru].
These four students had massive internal injuries, broken ribs and crushed skulls. One of them was missing her tongue. One thing that perplexed investigators was the fact that there was no sign of struggle and no external wounds. The final four victims were wearing some of the clothes of the others that were found to have high levels of radiation.
Theories have abounded over the years -- avalanche, alien interaction and military testing to name a few. Case records were sealed until 1990, when it was learned that bright orange spheres had been spotted in the sky that night by other hikers. This and the radiation on the clothes lead most people to believe that were some secret military shenanigans going on -- although the Russian government has never owned up to anything.

FALL RIVER — Bristol Community College has partnered with an energy consortium to construct a solar panel canopy over several parking lots and lock in electricity prices for 20 years as it tries to cut energy costs.
FALL RIVER — Bristol Community College has partnered with an energy consortium to construct a solar panel canopy over several parking lots and lock in electricity prices for 20 years as it tries to cut energy costs.
"History would tell us that (prices) go up but they never come down, they rarely come down," said Steve Kenyon, the college's vice president for administration and finance. "That's what we're banking on."
The college inked the electricity agreement with PowerOptions, a nonprofit consortium serving other nonprofits and public agencies. Energy company SunEdison will install the panels — to be built over parking lots, allowing cars to park under them — capitalizing on state tax breaks for solar power that nonprofit organizations cannot take advantage of because they do not pay taxes.
SunEdison will act as a middle man for the college and PowerOptions in this case, saving money by taking state tax breaks and then passing the savings over to BCC, which will buy its electricity from the consortium, said PowerOptions spokesman Liam Sullivan.
Bristol Community College, Endicott College and Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School all recently announced their participation in the PowerOptions solar canopy program.
Endicott's 943-kilowatt canopy system, to be built at its Beverly campus, will power the equivalent of 1,000 homes once it starts functioning this summer or fall, a PowerOptions news release said.
BCC's system, in comparison, will be a 2.5-megawatt system covering about 800 parking spaces. SunEdison is seeking permits for the project, to be built over the campus' southern parking lots across from the Jackson Arts Center, and the panels should go live in the next year, Kenyon said.
The system is expected to save BCC about $50,000 annually when it first goes online. Future savings are tied to the fluctuating cost of electricity, and could reach $500,000 per year if prices rise to $0.20 per kilowatt-hour, Kenyon said.
A kilowatt-hour cost an average of $0.14 in Massachusetts last March, according to statistics from the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
"Given the volatility of the energy market, the fixed costs tied to this effort and the potential for cost stability over a 20-year period made it very attractive to Endicott College," said Endicott President Richard E. Wylie in a statement. " ... The opportunity to support our energy needs with renewable resources and to cover our lot, the decision was an easy one."

Hepatitis C
With increased screening and improved therapeutic options, we are literally witnessing the beginning of the end of chronic hepatitis C (HCV). Since 75% of HCV infection remains undiagnosed, the CDC recently advised a one-time screening for all baby boomers (age 45-65). The importance of this initiative was emphasized when Governor Cuomo signed legislation this month mandating New York physicians to offer testing to all their patients. In addition to improved screening, therapeutic options for HCV are rapidly changing.
Speak to your physician today about HCV or Hepatitis C testing and treatment.
