Is it possible to use the ATECC508A to encrypt certain files or the whole file system on the ESP8266, like the config file(s) or the main.c/init.js file?
no, currently crypto chip can only be used for TLS handshake.
Is it technically possible though? It might be something I can take a look at doing but don't want to go down that path if it's not possible.
absolutely, it is. crypto chip support is implemented as another backend for mbedtls private key interface, so you can just instantiate a private key with path like
ATCA:0 and perform encrypt/decrypt operations. even though ECC encryption with the chip is fast, i'd still recommend using AES for actual encryption but deriving the AES key by signing a nonce with a ECC key (i.e. the same way TLS works).
you can use GCP library as a primer for using mbedtls crypto functions (it produces a JWT token by signing a nonces with an RSA or ECC key), and it works with the chip as well without even being aware of it (all you need to do is set
in fact, why not encrypt everything on the filesystem, not just certain files? we already have a transparent SPIFFS encryption layer, and it uses AES, but the key derivation is specific to ESP32.
look at the code in mgos_vfs_fs_spiffs.c behind the
CS_SPIFFS_ENABLE_ENCRYPTION guard.
if you replace the ESP32-specific AES key derivation with something that uses the chip, it should work just as well.
I think encrypted the file system based on the fact you have a transparent SPIFFS encryption layer is easier than doing specific files.
Do you mean look at the "esp_flash_encrypt.h" only for the mgos_vfs_fs_spiffs.c? And this needs to be modified?
Also, I am not quite sure what you mean by using the ESP32-specific AES key derivation since it's
derived by using hardware flash decryption of 32 bytes of 0xff.
So I am not quite sure how that is specific to the ESP32 since it's just an array of 0xff X 32, but I am not very familiar with encryption. So either way, the tmp array in the esp32_fs_crypt_init would need to be changed to something that works with the crypto chip?
i said replace ESP32-specific key derivation with something else, because - well, exactly what you quoted, it's esp32-specific and relies on hardware encryption. the whole spiffs encryption thing was invented to deal with it in the first place, but it can be repurposed, and fairly easily.
i think i've said enough and gave enough breadcrumbs for someone who is able to do it to follow. i am severely short on time and if you are not following - well, maybe you are not able to do it. sorry.
No worries. I asked some questions before doing my homework and going to do that now. You do what you have to do and make Mongoose OS awesome! 100% support you guys.

Tiger's Robertson says 'extremely positive' on Apple
NEW YORK – Julian Robertson, head of hedge fund Tiger Management, said Tuesday that he was "extremely positive" about Apple Inc and that Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook was the "perfect person" to lead the company.
"It, I think, now has the right leader for this time," Robertson told cable television network CNBC.
He said it was possible that Cook was a better leader for Apple than previous CEO Steve Jobs, since Cook is "more of a humanist, and I think that's what a company of that size needs is a leader rather than an innovator."
Robertson said that the Apple Watch was not a key reason why he was bullish on Apple, but that he owned one and that it could be a "pretty good product." The Apple Watch is the company's first brand-new product under Cook.
Tiger Management owned 324,500 shares of Apple at the end of the first quarter, according to a Securities and Exchange Commission filing.
Fellow investor Carl Icahn, who owned about 53 million Apple shares at the end of the first quarter according to an SEC filing, said last month that the company's stock should be trading at $240 and that Apple was poised to enter and dominate the television market by 2016 and the automobile market by 2020.
Apple shares closed 0.72 percent higher at $125.425 on Tuesday.
Asked whom he will support during the presidential race, Robertson said: "I think Jeb Bush has done a good job of managing Florida, and I'm pleased to support him." – REUTERS

The word Nike is a Greek word meaning to overcome or to be victorious.
Nike got it right – we do overcome!
1 John 5 (NIV)
Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the father loves his child as well. 2 This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out his commands. 3 In fact, this is love for God: to keep his commands. And his commands are not burdensome, 4 for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. 5 Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.

October 14, 2013 (Monday): TIBERIAS – CANA – SEA OF GALILEE (Boat ride) – TABGHA – TIBERIAS
After breakfast Remonim Mineral Hotel, Tiberias, we left for Cana and had our 9AM Mass there presided by Fr. Estong Bendita. On our way, Morning Prayer was said and Bible passages were distributed and I got this one: "These things I have spoken to you, that my joy remains in you, and that your joy may be full," (John 15:11).
Cana of Galilee was the site where Jesus performed His first miracle at the request of His mother Mary at a wedding feast of a poor couple, by changing water into wine: "Jesus did this as the beginning of his signs in Cana in Galilee and so revealed his glory, and his disciples began to believe in him," (John 2:1-11); and the healing of the royal official's son who was near death (John 4:46-54).
The Mass started at 8:45AM in the Church of First Miracle (Wedding Church) and ended at 9:35am. The Wedding Church is built by the Franciscans in the nineteenth century over remains believed to date to Jesus' day. The renewal of marriage vows of 6 couples was made during the Mass. After the Mass, signing of the Marriage Certificate and was signed by Bishop Dinualdo Gutierrez, DD; picture taking followed. We roamed around under the wedding church where remains were found.
Then we went to a souvenir store and bought some things. I bought rosaries, a ring with an engraved "I love Jesus" and others. We also had a celebration of the renewal of marriage vows of the six couples over a cup of wine and a wedding cake. And then drove to Sea of Galilee. While on our way to the Sea of Galilee our tour guide told us that the sources of living for Israel are the following: 1) tourism, 2) diamonds, 3) farming, and 4) technology.
We arrived at the Sea of Galilee at 11:15am, picture taking and then lunch in Miracle Restaurant-Coffee, on seaside of the Sea of Galilee and then drank a bottle of beer. After our lunch, we went to Tabgha.
Tabgha, from the Greek name heptapegon which means, "Seven Springs," is an area situated on the north-western shore of the Sea of Galilee in Israel. It is not far from Capernaum and is the site of the Church of the Multiplication, famous for its incredible mosaics and the place commemorating the Miracle of the Multiplication of the Loaves and Fishes: "Then Jesus took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed them to those who were reclining, and also as much of the fish as they wanted," (Jn. 6: 11; Mark 6:30-46). The fourth resurrection appearance of Jesus (John 21:1-24) happened too. St. Jerome referred Tabgha as "the solitude" (in Latin: eremos).
We roamed around the Church of the Multiplication (or the Church of Heptapegon) and took pictures. There was a mosaic of the fish and loaves laid next to a large rock, which has caused some New Testament scholars to speculate that the builders of the original church believed that Jesus stood on this rock when He blessed the loaves and the fish just before the feeding of 5,000 men who came to hear Him. The site is maintained by the Benedictine monks.
Also at Tabgha, a nearby church is the Church of the Primacy of Peter. This is located north of the Church of the Multiplication. It was built on rocks at the shore of the Sea of Galilee. Here Jesus prepared a meal for them on what is known as Mensa Christi, during which Jesus conferred again the primacy of St. Peter. This Church is honoring the memory of Jesus reappearing to his Disciples after his resurrection (third resurrection appearance) and instructing Peter to "feed my sheep": "He said to him the third time, 'Simon, son of John, do you love me?' Peter was distressed that He had said to him a third time, 'Do you love me?' and he said to him, 'Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.' [Jesus] said to him, "Feed my sheep," (Jn. 21: 17).
We left the Church of the Primacy of Peter at around 1:33PM for a boat ride in the Sea of Galilee (Luke 5:1). At the boat, the Philippine flag was raised. The Nene, the wife of an ex-police general Cachuela was the one who raised it and assisted by a boat crew. A gospel passage on calming the sea was read by Fr. Estong and he gave the reflection. It was a windy and sunny afternoon; picture taking in the boat.
The Sea of Galilee, also known as Lake Tiberias and Lake Kinneret, is where Jesus accomplished numerous miracles: "Then He rose and rebuked the winds and the sea and there was a great calm," (Matt. 8:26); "And in the fourth watch of the night He came to them, walking on the sea," (Matt. 14:25). He also chose His first disciples on its shores.
The Sea of Galilee is also the largest freshwater lake of Israel. At the other side of the lake is Golan Heights. A key attraction is the site where the water of the Sea of Galilee flows into the Jordan River to which Jesus was baptized by St. John the Baptist. We came to the River to be poured out by the water to renew our Baptism. The assigned priest to do the pouring of water was Fr. Ching Salibay OP
We went to a diamond factory near Rimonim Mineral Hotel. We entered and somebody explained to us the process and the 4 characteristics of a diamond which are: Cut, Clarity, Color and Carat. It was like a homily I read that followed these 4 Cs of diamond: Christ, Church, Communion, and Charity. Then one of the owners of the factory, explained further these diamond characteristics and its price in the market for .51 to 5 carats ranges from 1,800 to 148,000 US dollar.
Then Saher, our tour bus driver, brought us back to Rimonim Mineral Hotel for a rest at around 5pm. The hotel was walking distance at about 350 meters but the bus driver brought us to the hotel.
Take a short rest and then at around 6:47pm we had our dinner; listened to the meeting of the co-hosts for the next day with Fr. Ching Salibay OP, the shepherd of the group, with Millard Villaverde, our tour guide from the Philippines. We went back to our room, rest and sleep. And that was all for the day.

The Library of Congress in Washington DC was founded in 1800. The terrible British burned the building in 1814, and destroyed 3,000 volumes. Those rotters. But the following year Congress approved the purchase of Thomas Jefferson's personal library. The LOC is the largest library in the world with more than 164 million items.
We went for a visit, but didn't bother with a tour and just wandered around with a info leaflet. It's the interior decor and murals that are particularly impressive. Along the ornate staircases in the Great Hall there are figures of little boys, or 'putti'. The represent the various occupations and pursuits of contemporary American life (that's contemporary to 1897 when the building was completed). Above it depicts a farmer, bacchanalian, hunter, and mechanic which is an interesting mix.
The ceilings and walls were all covered in depictions of the arts and sciences. The lady in red (bottom right) is a mural representing understanding. The lass in the blue represents understanding. Above the Main Reading Room is a Government mural (top right), which reads 'A government of the people, by the people, for the people'.
In the Main Reading Room (below) there are eight giant marble columns supporting 10ft high figures representing: religion, commerce, history, art, philosophy, poetry, law, and science. But, unless you're an official library person, you can't actually go in the Main Reading Room and just have to look at it through glass from a balcony above.

Knowledge is power: optimising for Google's knowledge graph
Search engine optimisation (SEO) is all about building rankings, as brands strive to reach that lucrative spot at the top of page one. As Google shifts its focus from search "strings to things" to deliver more meaningful and informative search results, they have rolled out the Knowledge Graph.
You'll have likely seen Knowledge Graphs already amongst your search results. They're the snippets of content shown in the boxes above or to the right hand side of the search results. There are a number of types of Knowledge Graphs, including:
- People
- Music
- Weather
- Sports Scores
- Tweets
- Movies
- Recipies
- Images
- Businesses
- Map Location
Each of these graphs contains related information to a user's search query based on the contextual connections Google has made in its database. As you can see from the below example, a search for 'Declan Donnelly' returns biographical information, date of birth, images and TV shows he has presented. While we only searched for his name, Google has brought back lots of related information, reducing the number of searches a user would need to make and improving the overall search experience.
Featuring in a knowledge graph
Not only do knowledge graphs benefit users and their overall search experience, they are becoming increasingly important to search marketers. Positioned in a prime location on the SERPs, the graphs drive a huge amount of relevant, targeted traffic to the featured site. So, how do you get your site featured?
Schema markup is hugely important to Google's knowledge graphs. Essentially, Schema allows Google to better understand the content on a webpage, which ultimately helps the search engine organise its database and make those contextualised connections.
There are a number of types of Schema markup, depending on the knowledge graph you want your website to feature in. Implementing Schema markup doesn't guarantee your place at the top of the rankings — or else everyone would do it — but it does improve your chances of getting there.
Informative content
Digital marketers have long been striving to create good content to support their SEO performance. This remains true for Google's knowledge graph; but what content will improve your chances of featuring?
- Break down content into easily digestible chunks — for example, how to guides should be split up into numbered steps. Google wants to present the most relevant results to users in the right format, so carefully consider how you present information.
- Keep your content up-to-date — as time passes, things change, so it's important to keep your content up to date. For example, if you have created content around how to reset an iPhone and an update to the operating system is released, you should update your content to reflect these changes. Google will show the most relevant and informative content, so outdated content could be detrimental to your potential knowledge graph position.
- Review what's currently in the knowledge graphs — you can get a good idea of the type of content that works for knowledge graphs by looking at what currently features in them. Take pointers from existing knowledge graph content and use it to better the content you are creating to improve your chances of it being featured.

Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx today announced her office is moving to vacate the convictions of seven individuals whose arrests and convictions were obtained by corrupt former Chicago Police Sergeant Ronald Watts and other officers working under his command. Today's announcement brings the total number of people with vacated criminal convictions to 54 under the Foxx administration.
"After a thorough review by our Conviction Integrity Unit, it is in the interest of justice that we ask the Court to vacate these convictions," Foxx said. "As much as it is our duty to prosecute, when we find an injustice we also have an obligation to work diligently and promptly to correct it."
Today in court, prosecutors formally presented the motions to Cook County Judge Leroy K. Martin, Jr. during a hearing at the Leighton Criminal Courts Building in Chicago, who granted the motions and vacated the convictions.
"We found a pattern of misconduct by Watts and other officers in these cases, which caused our office to lose confidence in the initial arrests and validity of these convictions," Foxx said. "May the defendants, who we now believe were victims, find a path forward in healing and justice."
The Conviction Integrity Unit (CIU) reviews claims of actual innocence or wrongful conviction. Any living person, or the authorized representative of a living person, convicted of any felony charge[s] in Cook County is eligible to have their conviction reviewed.
The State's Attorney's Office works to uphold public safety through the fair and efficient administration of justice. Follow @SAKimFoxx and @CookCountySAO on Twitter and Facebook for updates.

He was born in Brunswick; the son of a physician, who removed to Seesen in 1786. Spohr came of an artistic and musical family, his father being a good amateur flute-player and his mother a talented singer and pianist, and from them and the rector of the village school he received his earliest instruction in music. At the age of five he began the study of the violin with Riemenschneider. He also studied with Dufour, a French emigrant, who persuaded his parents to allow him to study at Brunswick with Kunisch. Later he became a pupil of the leader of the orchestra, Maucourt. He composed constantly, at fourteen having a concerto to his credit. Spohr was admitted to the orchestra of the Duke and through his influence accompanied Franz Eck, the violinist, to St. Petersburg, remaining there eighteen months, practising and composing. In 1803 Spohr re-entered the ducal orchestra, and the following year made his first tour, visiting Berlin, Leipsic and Dresden, and arousing the greatest enthusiasm as a virtuoso and composer wherever he appeared. At Gotha he was appointed leader of the Duke's band, and in that city met and married Dorette Scheidler, the harpist making tours with her from 1807 to 1809. In the latter ear he conducted the first music festival ever given in Germany, held at Frankenhausen, and after several successful concerts in Vienna, in 1812 he was made leader of the Theatre an der Wien. He resigned this post three years later to conduct a second festival at Frankenhausen, made a tour of Italy, playing at Rome with Paganini, then appeared in Holland, and in 1817 became operatic conductor at Frankfort. His opera, Faust, written for Vienna, but not given there because of disagreements with the director, was performed at Frankfort in 1818 with the most striking success. In 1819 and the following year he visited England with his wife, appearing at several Philharmonic concerts and bringing out two symphonies, besides conducting the Philharmonic Orchestra concerts with a baton, which was a method then entirely novel in England. On his return journey Spohr gave concerts in Paris and finally settled in Dresden; but in 1821, having been offered a life appointment as Court conductor at Cassel, he took up his duties at that place the following year, and remained in that city until his death in 1859. He won in that post great fame as a conductor and reached his zenith as a composer with the opera, Jessonda, produced in 1823; the oratorio, Die letzten Dinge, given in 1826, and his grand symphony, Die Weihe der Tone (The Power of Sound), in 1832. In 1857 he was retired on a pension. He broke his left arm the following year, so was incapacitated for further playing. In 1834 his first wife died and two years later Spohr married the sister of his late friend, Pfeiffer. In 1845 he divided with Liszt the conductorship of the festival for the inauguration of the Beethoven monument and also officiated as conductor at the great musical festivals in Düsseldorf, Nordhausen, Bonn and Norwich, England. For a long time Spohr continued to exert a strong influence upon German music and was in great demand as leader and conductor.
He ranks as a composer just below the greatest representatives of German music, some of whom, as Weber and Beethoven, he did not appreciate, although he was among the first to recognize Wagner's great dramatic genius and was instrumental in bringing out The Flying Dutchman and Tannhauser, in spite of the greatest opposition from the court, and tried to produce Lohengrin. As an operatic composer Spohr equaled any German of his time. Among his best works in this form are Der Zweikampf; Jessonda, Zemire and Azor; and Faust, the last being his most popular. His last opera was Die Kreuzfahrer, given in 1845 at Cassel. He composed besides a dramatic cantata; a mass; psalms; hymns; part-songs for mixed and male voices; nine symphonies; eight overtures; fifteen violin concertos, which are regarded as classics of violin literature, and all of which were in later years edited by Spohr's pupil, Ferdinand David; beside numerous works for violin; string quartets; quintets; and finally in 1831 his great Violin School. His greatest works in symphony form were The Power of Sound, The Seasons, and the one entitled, The Earthly and the Divine in Human Life. At Cassel Spohr was the attractive center of a respectful group of pupils and admirers and was highly esteemed by both as man and musician. On the twentyfifth anniversary of his establishment in Cassel he was given a fete, when Jessonda was given a grand performance with a notable cast and the composer given the freedom of the city and crowned with laurel. Spohr retained his active habits until the end of his life. In character he was noble, hating all frivolity and artificiality and was noted for his untiring industry. He was rather retiring and reserved in manner, so that he did not make friends very easily; but he was most kind and sympathetic toward other less fortunate artists. In appearance he was tall and imposing, with great dignity of bearing. As a composer Spohr was not for the masses, but for the thoughtful and intellectual, and this kept him from ever becoming popular. He was one of the greatest violin virtuosos the world has ever known. He very early in his career formed a style of playing all his own, liking not at all the lighter, freer style of bowing that Paganini introduced. As a teacher he was most successful, and many of his pupils afterward distinguished themselves.

Cruise lines continue to diversify, with itineraries that seem to offer something for everyone, from steeped-in-the-wild adventure cruises to massive floating resorts. But large or small, eco or culinary, most cruises today strive to connect passengers to local cultures.
"Cruise lines understand travelers want experiences," said Carolyn Spencer Brown, editor of CruiseCritic.com. "Especially with the new-to-cruise market in their 30s and 40s, they want connections with the places they visit, and we're seeing that at all price levels."
A sense of experience drives the following six trends in cruising.
Far and Away Places
Though Caribbean-bound itineraries account for nearly a third of the market, increasingly more exotic itineraries are being offered, particularly aboard small ships with the nimbleness to call at less-developed ports.
SeaDream Yacht Club will chart a new course to Norway this summer. The 112-passenger SeaDream I will poke into fjords, dock for high-country hikes and feature Scandinavian cuisine, from breakfast herring to reindeer dinners.
Several lines are increasing departures in New Guinea, including Lindblad Expeditions, which will offer three departures to Papua New Guinea in March, April and November, versus one last year. The Australian line North Star Cruises offers five different itineraries there, including a 36-passenger trip in October to Cenderawasih Bay in West Papua, where whale sharks gather to beg sardines from fishermen.
In the north, the 184-passenger Hanseatic from Hapag Lloyd will ship out for coastal Siberia in May on a 17-day trip from Shanghai to Otaru, Japan. And in June, Adventure Canada will visit Canada's newest national park, Sable Island off Nova Scotia, reachable only by boat and home to wild horses and rare seabirds.
Slow Cruising
A spate of new itineraries turns the downside of small ships — their limited range — into a bright-side asset, sacrificing that for depth by spending more time in one region.
Un-Cruise Adventures will route its 60-passenger Wilderness Adventurer to the Puget Sound and Salish Sea in Washington for a series of eight-day trips in spring and fall. Active excursions include hiking in the Olympic Mountains, kayaking around Sucia Island and whale watching in the San Juan Islands.
Blount Small Ship Adventures' 88-passenger Grande Mariner will spend 12 days in the Bahamas Out Islands in March and April, a first for the dual-ship line, including shore landings to swim, snorkel, beachcomb and attend a pirate-themed party.
In June, the 210-passenger Pearl Mist will make its first departure for the new line Pearl Seas Cruises. It will spend the summer primarily in the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Seaway on 10- to 14-night itineraries, before plying the Canadian Maritime Provinces and New England in the fall.
Immersing in the Destination
The mantra among voyage planners is local, local, local, touting immersive experiences ashore as well as onboard.
The Norwegian line Hurtigruten dives so deep into the destination, in fact, that it invites passengers to stay ashore — in Antarctica. Overnight camping has been a success; the crew had to hold lotteries to determine who was allowed to spend the night on the ice, outfitted with tents and below-zero-rated sleeping bags. Hurtigruten plans to offer overnight deck camping on its Arctic itineraries in Spitsbergen, Norway, for iceberg-watching under the midnight sun.
Lindblad Expeditions' new ship, National Geographic Orion, sets sail this month with a remote-operated vehicle, or ROV, that can dive to 1,000 feet and shoot video while passengers scuba dive at safer depths on the Great Barrier Reef and in Micronesia.
Holland America brings the destination onboard via its "On Location" program, which features local artists, storytellers and entertainers. Guests can learn to play the didgeridoo and paint a boomerang in Australia, for example, or take French lessons in the Canadian itineraries. Noted regional chefs often join cruises from the Caribbean to Thailand to prepare local fare.
Cabin Upgrades
For some cruisers the experience is about comfort. Cabins once felt closer to naval berths — small, efficient, purposeful sleeping quarters — than hotel rooms. But that model has changed with larger and more varied options in cabin design, often mimicking hotel trends.
Last spring, Seabourn introduced four penthouse spa suites on its 450-passenger Quest, and plans to add the rooms on two more ships, the Odyssey and Sojourn, this year. Located a flight above the spa, the one-bedroom suites match the décor of the spa and feature oversize showers, designer bath amenities and relaxing music soundtracks.
Perhaps to counter allergies as well as wariness of ship-borne viruses, Crystal Cruise's 1,070-passenger Crystal Serenity was recently remodeled to include 70 specially cleaned and maintained hypoallergenic staterooms outfitted with air filters. Its four top-level suites now resemble spacious apartments with floor-to-ceiling windows, dining areas, butler's pantries and media rooms.
Operating like a hotel concierge floor, with a private restaurant, butler service and complimentary alcohol, MSC Yacht Club aboard the 3,502-passenger MSC Divina, which recently began operating out of Miami, features the Sophia Loren Suite, designed by the actress, with red upholstered furniture in the living room, red walls in the bedroom and black-and-white photos of Ms. Loren.
Even cheaper quarters have received some attention. Interior rooms on the Disney Dream feature a "magical porthole," at which real-time images of the sea meet animated Disney characters. And Tauck River Cruising's two new 130-passenger ships — the Inspire, launching this month, and the Savor in June — feature lower deck "loft cabins" with raised seating areas that allow occupants to sit next to windows that are about half the height of the cabin.
Short Cruises
Appealing to both time-pressed travelers and first-time cruisers who may not be certain about committing a full week or more to a ship, abbreviated itineraries are proliferating. The growth of disparate home ports, from New York to Baltimore, Galveston, Tex., Los Angeles and Seattle, has made embarking on short cruises easier for travelers across the country.
Princess Cruises launched its four- and five-day Getaway sailings last fall with departures to the Caribbean from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and coastal California and Mexico from Los Angeles and San Diego. Hapag-Lloyd Cruises' 500-capacity Europa2 will begin running four-day trips in the Baltic Sea and Scandinavia this summer. Celebrity Cruises' recently refurbished 2,170-guest Celebrity Constellation offers four- and five-night Bahamas and Caribbean runs in March and April that will resume next winter.
"Cruise lines have always offered cheap and cheerful short trips," Ms. Spencer Brown of CruiseCritic.com said. "The exciting thing now is they are making some of their newer ships available to this short-term market."
Rivers Run With It
Though passenger numbers are diminutive relative to ocean cruising, river cruising continues to boom, with dozens of new launches and ships deployed on more rivers outside of Europe.
Viking River Cruises alone will send out 14 new ships this year, all in Europe. Tauck will debut two ships, primarily on the Rhine, Moselle and Danube. Sharing those rivers, the new line Emerald Waterways, with two sleek 182-passenger ships, will start operations in April. A-Rosa Cruises will launch its 158-passenger A-Rosa Flora in April with a sold-out cruise past the tulip fields of the Netherlands. In Provence, France, the higher-end Uniworld Boutique River Cruises will send out its new 159-guest ship SS Catherine next month.
Though the majority of river traffic remains in Europe, Asian rivers are rising, especially in Myanmar, where Pandaw River Expeditions recently launched the 40-passenger Kalaw Pandaw and the Kalay Pandaw, with the 20-guest Kha Byoo Pandaw expected to begin operations by year end. They will be joined by the 42-passenger Sanctuary Ananda, setting out this year on the Irrawaddy and Chindwin Rivers.

Soweto Kinch: Soweto Kinch: Conversations With The Unseen
Soweto Kinch opens Conversations With The Unseen with a hip-hop "welcome to the session" rap that might trick new listeners (guilty) into thinking a bunch of self-hyping doo-wop lies ahead. But the alto saxophonist literally blows that perception away seconds into the second track, storming his way through a set approaching the likes of Branford Marsalis and Chris Potter in king-of-the-hill prowness.
Those failing to read the linear notes first (guilty) won't learn "Britain Jazz's great hope," as the BBC calls him, is a Montreux Jazz Festival International Saxophonist Of The Year winner and recipient of other noteworthy accolades. Even so, when he gets back to rapping an "intermission" at the midpoint of his debut solo album it no longer comes across as pufferythe self- taught player has earned the right to say what he wants.
Kinch is compared to 1960s British altoist Joe Harriottwho's compared to Ornette Colemanbut Kinch's playing is more disciplined than such associations suggest (bringing "Charlie Parker and Q-Tip into the zone" is how Dune Records puts it). The Oxford graduate's quick-note runs tend toward the lyrical, not quite stretching his tone like Marsalis or going off the energetic deep end like Potter. It's actually a wise choice, keeping things from getting too overwhelming. It's also offers a flexible setting for fellow players, with drummer Troy Miller supplying background heat and guitarist Femi Temowo a laid-back Jim Hall-style electric guitar that is a surprisingly effective contrast.
Like a job interview applicant, Kinch seems determined to quickly establish standout bona fides, scarcely pausing for breath or notes lasting more than a sixteenth of a measure on "Doxology." Temowo's sparser plucking provides much-needed mental oxygen, as happens elsewhere. Kinch doesn't back off much on other speedy stuff, but enough so he avoids the mistake of young lions whose phrases contain ingenuity but no ability to separate and appreciate them.
Kinch can and does mellow out. He plays a moody unaccompanied solo to open the title track, an easy-listening ballad with a series of sifting time signatures. Miller does a nice job of breathing life into "The Flame Thrower" with a steady and complex built-up of tension, with Kinch finding a suitably emotive tone near the end.
The album's three raps, along with the playful vocal collaboration with Eska Mtungwazi on "Goodnooz," turn out to be more about jazz and self-deprecation than boasting, making it easier to appreciate them even if the out-of-place feeling doesn't go away. But to criticize it in light of his playing is to feel like he's hip and you're not. Instead, you listen for the artistry in them adopting your thinking to his world instead of wanting him to conform to yours.
It's common to say a young player's early albums show promise, but Conversations With The Unseen proves Kinch is already fulfilling it. In his case the question is what kind of diversity he brings to an encore. A fresh-sounding album of equal quality ought to establish him as a major presence.
Tracks: Intro, Doxology, Conversations With The Unseen, Elision, Spokes And Pedals, Intermission -Split Decision, Snakehips, Mungo's Adventure, The Flame-Thrower, Equiano's Tears, Good Nyooz, Outro.
Personnel: Soweto Kinch, alto saxophone, rap vocals; Femi Temowo, guitar; Michael Olatuja, bass; Troy Miller, drums; Eska Mtungwazi, vocals; Abram Wilson, trumpet, vocals (Intermission -Split Decision)

LEXINGTON, NE (AP) – A woman accused of trying to conceal a man's slaying in Dawson County has been given jail time and probation.
Dawson County District Court records say 36-year-old Melissa Callahan of Lexington was sentenced Monday to 90 days in jail and 2 years of probation. She'd pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of attempted tampering with physical evidence.
Authorities say she helped move the body of Jose Hernandez and conceal the slaying by Jose Regalado-Mendez in October of 2016. Hernandez's remains were found near a farmhouse north of Lexington weeks after his death.
Regalado-Mendez has been sentenced to 40 to 45 years in prison.

Well folks, it's finally here. The Olympics. (Or 'Lympics as I lovingly call it.) I guess my admiration of the elite games can be thanks to my Father who is an avid runner, cyclist, cross country skier, and all around active guy. He always made time to watch the games, and include us kids, for as long as I can remember. My favorite summer sport is Women's Gymnastics (YAY USA GOLD! WOO!). I was a little die hard obsessed back in 6th grade when the 1996 Atlanta games rolled in with the Magnificent Seven (yes I hung their newspaper pictures all over my room, knew all their names and back stories and was beyond crushed when the VHS tape didn't record Kerri Strug's winning/injuring vault. It was all squibbly and snow covered. 11 year old me was devastated to say the least.)
So, anyway, due to my die-hard 'Lympic spirit we had a few close friends over Opening Ceremonies night to ring in the latest games. We embraced the London spirit with Fish and Chips, New Castle beers, Snake Bites (what all the cool kids in the London pubs drink), and Banoffee Pie. Oh Banoffee Pie, my new love.
Snake Bites, is something my Sister, who studied abroad in London for a semester, introduced me to. I will confess I'm not a beer drinker. (And I confess this with the heaviest of hearts.) For you non beer drinkers like me, this drink is the tastiest beer you'll ever have and super simple to make. Half a bottle of lager (New Castle Brown Ale), half a bottle of hard cider (Angry Orchard) and if you want to really fancy it up a splash of Squash. Hands down the tastiest beer I've ever had.
Now, for the main event. Banoffee Pie. Oh you British seductress you. I was searching for a classic English dessert to serve my guests. This Banoffee Pie thing continued to come up throughout my searching. Having never heard of it, I read on. Basically it's an AMAZINGLY delicious pie which is also SUPER easy to make. I started baking as "Afghanistan" entered the stadium and finished (and ready to eat) before "Madagascar" was announced, not too shabby.
Recipe by Curtis Stone. It's a no bake pie (score one for perfect Summer recipe) and to make the recipe even easier may I suggest a pre-made graham cracker pie crust? I found that 1 pint of heavy cream and everything else called out in the recipe was enough for 2 regular sized pies. I also American'd it up with a chocolate cookie crust, as well as the traditional graham crust.
So happy I took a shot in the dark on this strange named pie. It is absolutely delicious and magically easy. I'm right with Keira Knightly with her "you would have broken my heart if you said yes" comment, "Love Actually" anyone? One of my favorite movies. (I will confess I always thought she was saying felafel pie, not that that makes any sense but a much more familiar word than "Banoffee".) With out a doubt my new favorite pie.

It would be nice to have a magic formula for choosing a ski length. However, there are a lot of factors that come into play when choosing the right length ski for you.
There is a basic rule of thumb to measure how long your skis should be. A beginner should see the tip of the ski falls between his or her chin and mouth with the back tip on the ground. An intermediate skier's skis should fall between the mouth and eyes. Any advanced skier's ski would fall between their eyes and the top of the head. Here is a sizing chart that will give you a general idea of ski size range you should be looking at.
Snow Ski Sizing Chart:
Skiing Style:
If you turn a lot to maintain speed (as a beginner would do) or like doing tricks, a shorter ski is more your style. However, if you are an aggressive skier and like creating a lot of speed and traverse less frequently, a longer ski would be better.
Type of Terrain:
A long ski would be great for an experienced skier on steeps, but not great for tree skiing. Consider a pair of fatties in slushy snow or for tree skiing, especially if you are less skilled.
Remember, length is only one facet of a ski. Skis come in different shapes, widths as well as flexes according to their function. For more info, feel free to chat with one of our associates at Sun & Ski Sports.

Roman Polanski's expertly balanced blend of humor and horror looks even better today than when it was released nearly 40 years ago. Phenomenal character actor Jack McGowran is perfectly cast as the ancient, screw-loose Professor Abronsius who, with his harebrained sidekick, Alfred (Polanski, doing double duty) is on the hunt for vampires in the snowy Carpathian mountains. Their pursuit shifts into high gear once Alfred's admired-from-afar love interest, the inn-keeper's daughter (Sharon Tate), is kidnapped by the undead Count von Krolock (Ferdy Mayne). With the beautiful, deeply rich color cinematography of Douglas Slocombe and a memorable score by brilliant Krzysztof Komeda.
Polanski at his best, and strangest. Here, the director stars in his own film as a mild-mannered tenant, Trelkovsky, who moves into an apartment where the last inhabitant committed suicide. He soon comes to suspect that his neighbors - including Isabelle Adjani, Melvyn Douglas and Jo Van Fleet - have a similar end in mind for him.

MIAMI (CBSMiami) – An 800-pound pregnant manatee has made her way back to Florida.
It wasn't an easy journey, but Washburn is now being cared for at SeaWorld after making the 1,300 mile trip from Connecticut.
The hope is that she will be healthy enough to give birth in the wild.
She was rescued in Massachusetts last month. She was then sent to an aquarium for rehab before making the long trip back home to Florida.
Manatees are not native to Massachusetts, and the water is too cold for them to survive.
In an arduous move coordinated between SeaWorld and multiple agencies, including the Florida Coast Guard and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
Washburn was loaded into a truck, hoisted onto a crane and flown back to Florida.
Staff flew with her, keeping her skin wet the whole time.
She began to eat and swim in her rehabilitation pool immediately after she was released.
Washburn will be monitored 24/7 until she is ready to be returned to her natural habitat.
If all goes well, the plan is to release her into open water, so she can give birth there.
'We're seeing that the baby's growing and it's got a nice steady heartrate," said Dr. Lara Croft. "Everything looks really good. It was active this morning, so we're very optimistic."
Once she gets re-settled here, Washburn will be chipped so she can be tracked in the future.

We have wanted to include Oakley Creek walkway in our walk guides for some time. The Oakley Creek Te Auaunga (whirlpool or swirling waters) Walkway itself is a one-way track, and we wanted to include it as part of a bigger circular walk. And today we did it! There was a lot of water in the creek today and the 6 metre high waterfall was in fine form. The new viewing platform is great (update December 2012 – sad to see that the platform has been burnt down).
Oakley Creek flows from Hillsborough, through Mt Roskill, Owairaka and Waterview to the Waitemata Harbour, making it one of Auckland's longest urban streams. Oakley Creek is also home to the New Zealand longfin eel which is threatened, so fishing is not allowed.
The Friends of Oakley Creek is a project to help preserve and protect the creek, and was set up in 2004. The Friends of Oakley Creek have been doing a fantastic job with restoration and keeping the creek maintained, clean and improving the water quality. This is a volunteer organisation, and they continually seek help with their efforts – lend a hand if you can. If you would like to get involved, visit their Facebook page: Friends of Oakley Creek .
You can walk through native bush, wetlands, see water birds and enjoy the peace beside Oakley Creek. We have decided to create two separate loop walks – one a northern loop, the other a southern loop. You may wish to get both, and link them together for a longer walk.
Children's playgrounds in both walks – the southern loop Heron Park has a flying fox.
Both loop walks take in off-leash dog exercise areas (dogs on leash alongside the Creek). See other Dog Friendly Walks
November 2012 PLEASE NOTE: Motorway works on the Waterview Connection has interrupted the circular route for the Oakley Creek Walkway Loop North (GS041) until further notice.
Description: A mix of level paths, steps and slightly inclined paths. Suitable for users of average fitness and mobility. May require boots in wet weather, running shoes suitable in dry weather.
To see: Water birds Habitat, waterfall, Oakley Creek
Time: approx. 60 minutes. (about 4 kms
Start: Cadman Avenue (off Fairlands Avenue/ Great North Road) MAP
Stay on track…get your detailed guide and map over at our Walks Store (AC-042 Oakley Creek Walkway Loop South) and our Book Store (one of 12 walks featured in our books "Urban Bush" and "Dog Friendly Walks part 2").

From The Sriracha Cookbook, with minor adaptations. Serves 6; can be halved or doubled.
3 Tbsp sesame oil
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup white miso paste
3 Tbsp Sriracha
1 clove garlic, minced
6 6-oz salmon fillets, about 1 inch thick
Steamed rice, to serve
Sliced green onions, for garnish (optional)
Preheat the broiler. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil, and set aside.
In a small nonreactive mixing bowl, combine the oil, brown sugar, soy sauce, miso paste, Sriracha and garlic.
Place the salmon on the prepared baking sheet, and baste with the Sriracha mixture. Broil 6 inches from the flame, basting the fish once more after 2-3 minutes. Broil for a total of 6-10 minutes, depending on the efficiency of your broiler. (I have an infrared broiler; I cooked the fish for 5 minutes total.) Watch the fish carefully while you cook. The basting liquid is prone to smoking (or burning) because of the sugar in it.
Serve over steamed rice, and garnish with green onions.

During the past week, the Geneva Public Library has hosted three public forums as part of a process to reach out and listen to what our community has to say regarding expanded library services in a new building at 210 S. Sixth St. These forums represent the next phase of a process that began more than a year ago to evaluate the condition and operating costs of our building and determine how to best serve our community in the future.
Our aging and undersized facility can't be expanded to fulfill the needs our community has expressed for more meeting space, more programming space and increased opportunities to learn and create. As a result, the library board of trustees bought the land on Sixth Street and hopes to build a new facility.
Under the draft plans that we're presenting to the community for feedback, the proposed library would increase space available for programs and services. We're seeking public input before we finalize the building plans and project costs. This plan would require the board to go to referendum in April 2017, and the library board will host a public hearing to review the plans and cost with the community at its Dec. 22 meeting.
Given the age of our facility, which is over 100 years old in some sections and costly to operate, it makes the most fiscal sense to build a new library.
What does a new library offer? We're working with architectural firm StudioGC on plans that include early literacy spaces; space for more youth programming, as well as space where parents can socialize; an exploration commons for STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) projects, cooking, etc.; a tech commons with computers and space to create videos, etc.; a craft commons offering amenities such as a 3-D printer and more multiple, divisible meeting rooms; outdoor reading and program spaces; and an area to enjoy coffee and talk.
We are fortunate to live in a community that values its library. And we welcome your feedback. We plan to reach out to community organizations to continue to share our plans. You can keep up with the latest news on our website, gpld.org, our Facebook page, and our e-newsletter. Contact email@example.com with your questions, or to get involved.

« School Improvement RFP of the Week (1): Design/Build a User Friendly Decision Support System for Nebraska | Main | The Letter From: The Most Important Issue in Federal Education Policy Presidential Candidates Don't Discuss (I) »
School Improvement RFP of the Week (2): The Next Wave of E-Rate Business is VOIP
RFPs identify business opportunities, but they are also a neglected primary source for research on k-12 policy and operations. From Monday's issue of K-12Leads and Youth Service Markets Report.
Announcement: E-Rate Eligible Video Over IP Due July 29, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Georgia
Their Description: The intent of these specifications is to set forth a term contract under which the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (SCCPSS) may secure a vendor for the purpose of providing an E-Rate Eligible Video Over IP Solution.
SCCPSS has 7 high schools, 10 middle schools, 30 elementary schools, 7 other educational facilities, and 3 administrative sites. This is a total of 57 sites....
All sites have a minimum of one gigabit Ethernet connection to the WAN.... All SCCPSS workstations and laptops shall be able to access the solution from a web browser with minimal effort. Installation of additional clients is not desired.... It is our strategic direction to have voice, video, and data run over the district network....
Cable Television Content.... The solution is to replace our current analog cable TV distribution system by delivering digital cable television programming via our data network. Initially the solution will provide six concurrent live streams to be fed from our district data center to computers throughout our school district,.... Eventually we will be replacing all of our sites' existing analog systems with the selected video-over-IP solution utilizing our existing computers and IP set-top boxes....
Broadcasting Live School Events.... The solution shall provide our schools that have Ethernet connectivity with the ability to broadcast live events such as daily newscasts from any area at the site. The selected solution must be easy to move to various locations at school site, must user friendly so that non-technical staff will be to use it with minimal training, and must be housed in a secure, locking cart.
Displays in Common Areas.... Many of our schools currently use a computer with TV out to distribute Power Point slides with announcements to all of their classrooms. We are looking for a way to distribute this information to displays mounted in common areas as well as all computers located at a site. We desire the solution to use the same interface as the one that will be used by computers that are able to view the video-over -IP content.
The solution shall support emergency messaging.... (and) on-site owner training on the operation and use of the system....
The decision to implement this project is contingent upon award to the District of funding from Universal Service Funds (E-Rate).... The Supplier must participate in the E-rate Program and also has a responsibility to educate itself about the Program requirements and timeliness.... If partial funding is committed, the products and services will be adjusted accordingly.... Accordingly, if so, and contingent upon the SCCPSS receipt of a funding commitment from SLD/USAC,... Offeror shall institute a two-tier billing system and shall be required to recover up to ninety percent (90%) of its compensation for such eligible Services....
My Thoughts: I have not seen many of these, although VIOP became E-Rate Eligible in late 2006. See EdTech:
The list of capabilities that VoIP enables includes voice messaging, enhanced data services, number portability, Emergency 911 and... untethered roaming within a school or district. [B]y converging both phone and data onto a single network, it's possible to simplify system administration and lower operational costs.... VoIP.... allows parents and students to call teachers at any time... (and) automatically routes the message to voice mail.... [T]eachers can use the voice mail system to broadcast their messages to families.... listen to phone messages on a PC or pick up e-mail messages over the phone.... [E]nhanced data services... allow administrators... to send short messages to teachers... [S]chools can wheel IP phones into classrooms so that students can do their research in the classroom.
K-12Leads and Youth Service Markets Report is a comprehensive weekly web-enabled report delivered by email on Monday. It covers grant and contract RFPs issued by every federal and state education and social services agency and every school district over the internet. K-12Leads is for school improvement providers who understand that their offerings are not commodities, rarely displayed as such, and so easily missed by traditional computer-based "word search" systems.

On June 8-9, Canada will host the G7 summit at La Malbaie, in Quebec's Charlevoix region, east of Quebec City.
Conveniently for golfer-in-chief and U.S. President Donald Trump and his occasional golf partner Prime Minister Abe of Japan, the two-day sessions are taking place at Le Manoir Richelieu, a golf resort.
That is not the only way the Liberal government has tried to accommodate the neighbour to the south.
From the moment of his first visit to Washington following the election of Trump, Trudeau fixed on women's issues as the way to curry favour with the new U.S. president, and stave off his threats to kill NAFTA. Following his first visit with Trump in Washington, Trudeau co-chaired an event in New York to promote women in business with the president's daughter.
In addition to giving Trump a slim opportunity to overcome his horrible worldwide reputation for disrespecting women, the Trudeau government was looking to find common ground with American opinion leaders, so as to advance NAFTA "modernization" through renegotiation, which was the Liberal government response to the campaign pledge by Trump to tear up the agreement.
The modernization renegotiation gambit has seemed to be working -- at least according to regular leaks and Canadian Global Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland, who was elevated from being trade minister to her current role following the election of Trump.
The Freeland mandate from the Prime Minister's Office is to use all the resources of the Canadian government to rally support for NAFTA in the boardrooms of corporate America, Congress, and State Houses across the U.S., in order to make it harder for Trump to fulfill his goal of killing NAFTA.
The question raised by the strategy is what parts of the Canadian economy the Liberal government is prepared to sacrifice in pursuit of this objective. Dairy and agricultural income support ensuring food security for Canadians? What is left of the Ontario auto industry? Will policy initiatives such as pharmacare die because of new concessions on intellectual property rights?
An agreement in principle in the NAFTA renegotiations was slated to be announced in Washington following last weekend's talks that included ministers from Mexico, Canada and the U.S.
Minister Freeland had even skipped a NATO foreign ministers' meeting so she could sign on behalf of Canada.
By Monday, no agreement had been reached and none was in sight.
According to trade expert Peter Clark, who follows NAFTA talks closely on behalf of Canadian corporate clients, the negotiators have initialled six chapters of the 30 chapters under discussion, are discussing six more intensely, and still have lots to do on the remaining 18.
How this poorly advanced state of negotiations could give rise to an agreement in principle as was being suggested by government sources is hard to fathom.
For Clark, Canada has to deal with an uncomfortable truth: "The U.S. wants to make investment in Canada and Mexico unattractive for investors."
Undeterred by Trump's threats to kill it, major obstacles placed in the way of reaching a deal by the United States Trade Representative (USTR) Robert Lighthizer, and the need to tie things up before the current Congress expires this year, NAFTA talks will resume May 7, once again in Washington.
In the meantime, Lighthizer is on his way to China for the next stage in the U.S. shakedown of Beijing that features protectionist measures aimed at Chinese steel and aluminium exports.
Canada is doing its part by focusing on blocking rerouting of Chinese steel and aluminium shipments through Canada to the U.S.
Justin Trudeau has followed up on his initial engagements with the Trump administration, and made gender equality the priority item of his G7 presidency. Given the current context of the world economy, advocating gender equality is a noble attempt to throw some light on the darkness of right-wing populism, chauvinistic nationalism, and an America First focus on so-called trade cheaters -- those that sell successfully into the U.S. market.
Last week in Ottawa, W7: Feminist visions for the G7, now a formal G7 advisory group, brought together over 60 women from Canada, other G7 countries, and the Global South to make recommendations to G7 leaders on all aspects of the global economy.
The Gender Equality Advisory Council, established by Trudeau for his G7 presidency, was also in session in Ottawa last week.
Co-chaired by American Melinda Gates, along with the Canadian Ambassador to France Isabelle Hudon, this body was charged by the prime minister to promote a transformative agenda of gender-based analysis and women's empowerment in all areas of the G7's work.
There is little that can be done to save Trump's reputation with women, and it is doubtful that Canada will gain ground with his administration by raising the world profile of women's issues, but on the feminization of economic policy, Trudeau is going in the right direction.
The prime minister just needs to be aware that feminists will be looking for implementation of W7 recommendations to the G7, following up on specific issues such as child-care availability, and speaking out about any inaction by his government in pursuing agenda items from the Gender Equality Advisory Council.

The Socceroos will be out to secure second spot in Group B when they face Syria at the Khalifa bin Zayed Stadium on Wednesday morning (12.30am AEDT).
Australia got their Asian Cup defence back on track against Palestine with a 3-0 win having lost their group opener against Jordan 1-0.
Syria are yet to score in the UAE but can still escape the group in second with a win after being held to a goalless draw with Palestine and falling 2-0 to Jordan.

After picking up his second yellow card of the tournament against Palestine, Trent Sainsbury has been suspended from this clash.
In his absence, Socceroos skipper Mark Milligan is expected to slot into defence with Massimo Luongo brought into start in midfield.
Tom Rogic faces suspension should he pick up another yellow and with a broken bone in his hand could be rested or given reduced game time against Palestine.
Though ending his scoring drought against Palestine, Jamie Maclaren could be replaced up top by a fit-again Andrew Nabbout - who does appear to best fit Graham Arnold's system.
Socceroos predicted XI: Ryan (GK); Behich, Degenek, Milligan, Grant; Luongo, Irvine; Ikonomidis, Rogic, Mabil; Nabbout.

Betting & Match Odds
Australia are strong favourites in this with a win valued at $1.44 , draw at $4 and Syria victory at $8.50 .
With Syria yet to score at this tournament, the most likely result is a 1-0 win to the Socceroos going at odds of $6 .
All odds courtesy of Bet365 and correct at the time of publishing.
Match Preview
Just 15 months ago, the Socceroos saw off Syria 2-1 in extra-time as they went on to seal their spot at the 2018 World Cup.
A Tim Cahill header proved the difference on that occasion as a spirited Syria side hit the post at the death and had their dreams of a first World Cup appearance shattered.
Revenge could therefore be on their minds when they tackle Australia at the Asian Cup with a win enough for Syria to seal second spot in Group B and leave the Socceroos in limbo.
Though their spirit will once again be on full display, Syria have been out of form and are yet to score in the UAE after a 0-0 draw with Palestine and 2-0 loss to Jordan.
Winning just three of their last 12 games, The Assyrians must step up soon or find themselves sent packing.
The Socceroos started their title defence on shaky feet in a 1-0 loss to Jordan, but bounced back emphatically in a 3-0 win over Palestine.
Introducing Chris Ikonomidis and Jackson Irvine to the starting side paid immediate dividends for Graham Arnold and he'll be hoping to settle on his strongest side ahead of the knockout stages.
A win or draw will be enough for the Socceroos to seal second spot in Group B but don't rule out Syria throwing a spanner in the works should they strike early against an Australian side that have already shown signs of vulnerability.

Clean Facilities Generate Revenue
We all have a different view of cleanliness. What may be messy or dirty to one person might be fine for someone else. No matter how you judge cleanliness, it's important for businesses to be sanitary for employee health and happiness. That way, a modest investment in cleaning can yield increased office productivity. Also, it leads to a drop in missed work days and an increase of revenue because of greater work consistency.
Here's how cleanliness increases productivity:
- Because sick employees cost businesses money. The average worker is sick 7 days each year. That costs businesses $225.8 billion dollars per year. It also leads to a 54% decrease in productivity and a 39% reduction in sales. The spread of germs can be greatly reduced with regular cleaning, which can keep workers healthy.
- Cleaning can reduce the risk of employee sick days. In a clean facility absenteeism drops by 46%. The reduction of the common cold and influenza can be as much as 80%.
- That leads to an increase in green. In a clean facility productivity increases up to 8%, resulting in more revenue. Also, when businesses use green cleaning products, customer and employee satisfaction increases, fueling the increase of productivity and leads to even more sales.
- It might be easy to think of cleaning as a necessary evil. But, it's important for businesses to look beyond cleaning as simply an expense without clear benefits. The Value of Clean helps businesses improve employee satisfaction, allows them to generate revenue and retain more customers.
You and I may define cleanliness in different ways but keeping offices clean has clear and measurable benefits. The Value of Clean can help businesses profit by investing in a regular cleaning program. By choosing a cleaning company that uses green products, it helps businesses be more environmentally friendly, which also contributes to workplace happiness. All these steps can lead to increased productivity and revenue.

I need advice on recommendations. I am submitting 3 recommendations through LSAC for all schools and I really didn't think signing the waiver on the recommendation form was that important. It is optional right? I gave each person writing a recommendation an unsigned LSAC form to submit. Two of the people mailed out the recommendations already with the unsigned LSAC form. I am going to give the third person a signed form to submit. What should I do with the ones that were mailed out already and unsigned? or should I leave everything as is and only submit one recommendation with a signed LSAC form and leave the other 2 unsigned. Schools that require one recommendation will get the signed one and schools that require 2-3 letters will get one with a signed waiver and two without a signed waiver. All my recommendation s are really excellent from people that have known me a long time. it really going to make a very big difference if it's signed or unsigned??? I don't understand why it should if i am accepted to law school and choose to go look at my recommendation letters.....who cares if it's good or bad....i got in already... right???
I hate this whole process that is so complicated and having to guess at what admissions is going to think!!!
Please anyone with suggestions/ advice???
Good luck to everyone applying this cycle. I really hope it's over soon and we are happy with whatever ends up happening.

Earth-7910 would diverge from Earth-616 on the evening that Johnny Blaze would bargain his soul in order to cure his adopted father Crash Simpson of his terminal cancer. In this reality, the deal with Satan would not be interrupted by Roxanne Simpson and as such Johnny would be completely controlled by the power of the Ghost Rider.
After Crash Simpson would pull off his big stunt show at Madison Square Gardens, Satan would come to collect Johnny's part of the bargain. Forcing him to transform into the Ghost Rider, Satan would force Johnny to do his bidding. When Crash would check on the Johnny after hearing him scream he would be slain by the Ghost Rider who would ride off. Witnessing her fathers murder, Roxanne Simpson would devote her time and energy to tracking down and stopping the Ghost Rider, who was then going across the country murdering any criminal he came upon. When Roxanne would ultimately track Johnny down, she would attempt to stop him and he would kill her as well.
With no forces able to stop him, the Ghost Rider would be tracked by the Son of Satan who would attempt to convince Ghost Rider to repent his demonic ways. In failing to do so, the Ghost Rider would attempt to attack Hellstrom, and the child of Satan would be forced to use his trident to absorb Ghost Rider's hellfire, killing Johnny and ending the Ghost Rider's threat in the process.[1]

[The only musical instrument heard is the plucking of a Jew's harp.]
I had an old cat named Roy.
He was a good ol' boy.
He used to go a-huntin', down by the lake,
Catch 'im a nice, fresh garter snake.
Bring 'im on back and then set in the grass,
Lookin' like he had 'im a green mustache.
Yeah, Roy was a good ol' boy.
