It is a source of great joy for me to meet with you this morning in this magnificent setting. I wish to thank Prince Ghazi Bin Muhammed Bin Talal for his kind words of welcome. Your Royal Highness's numerous initiatives to promote inter-religious and inter-cultural dialogue and exchanges are appreciated by the people of the Hashemite Kingdom and they are widely respected by the international community. I know that these efforts receive the active support of other members of the Royal Family as well as the nation's government, and find ample resonance in the many initiatives of collaboration among Jordanians. For all this, I wish to express my own heartfelt admiration.
Places of worship, like this splendid Al-Hussein Bin Talal mosque named after the revered late King, stand out like jewels across the earth's surface. From the ancient to the modern, the magnificent to the humble, they all point to the divine, to the Transcendent One, to the Almighty. And through the centuries these sanctuaries have drawn men and women into their sacred space to pause, to pray, to acknowledge the presence of the Almighty, and to recognize that we are all his creatures.
For this reason we cannot fail to be concerned that today, with increasing insistency, some maintain that religion fails in its claim to be, by nature, a builder of unity and harmony, an expression of communion between persons and with God. Indeed some assert that religion is necessarily a cause of division in our world; and so they argue that the less attention given to religion in the public sphere the better. Certainly, the contradiction of tensions and divisions between the followers of different religious traditions, sadly, cannot be denied. However, is it not also the case that often it is the ideological manipulation of religion, sometimes for political ends, that is the real catalyst for tension and division, and at times even violence in society? In the face of this situation, where the opponents of religion seek not simply to silence its voice but to replace it with their own, the need for believers to be true to their principles and beliefs is felt all the more keenly. Muslims and Christians, precisely because of the burden of our common history so often marked by misunderstanding, must today strive to be known and recognized as worshippers of God faithful to prayer, eager to uphold and live by the Almighty's decrees, merciful and compassionate, consistent in bearing witness to all that is true and good, and ever mindful of the common origin and dignity of all human persons, who remain at the apex of God's creative design for the world and for history.
The resolve of Jordanian educators and religious and civic leaders to ensure that the public face of religion reflects its true nature is praiseworthy. The example of individuals and communities, together with the provision of courses and programs, manifest the constructive contribution of religion to the educational, cultural, social and other charitable sectors of your civic society. Some of this spirit I have been able to sample at first hand. Yesterday, I experienced the renowned educational and rehabilitation work of the Our Lady of Peace Centre where Christians and Muslims are transforming the lives of entire families, by assisting them to ensure that their disabled children take up their rightful place in society. Earlier this morning, I blessed the foundation stone of Madaba University where young Muslim and Christian adults will side by side receive the benefits of a tertiary education, enabling them to contribute justly to the social and economic development of their nation. Of great merit too are the numerous initiatives of inter-religious dialogue supported by the Royal Family and the diplomatic community and sometimes undertaken in conjunction with the Pontifical Council for Inter-religious Dialogue. These include the ongoing work of the Royal Institutes for Inter-faith studies and for Islamic Thought, the Amman Message of 2004, the Amman Interfaith Message of 2005, and the more recent Common Word letter which echoed a theme consonant with my first encyclical: the unbreakable bond between love of God and love of neighbor, and the fundamental contradiction of resorting to violence or exclusion in the name of God (cf. Deus Caritas Est, 16).
Such initiatives clearly lead to greater reciprocal knowledge, and they foster a growing respect both for what we hold in common and for what we understand differently. Thus, they should prompt Christians and Muslims to probe even more deeply the essential relationship between God and his world so that together we may strive to ensure that society resonates in harmony with the divine order. In this regard, the co-operation found here in Jordan sets an encouraging and persuasive example for the region, and indeed the world, of the positive, creative contribution which religion can and must make to civic society.
Distinguished friends, today I wish to refer to a task which I have addressed on a number of occasions and which I firmly believe Christians and Muslims can embrace, particularly through our respective contributions to learning and scholarship, and public service. That task is the challenge to cultivate for the good, in the context of faith and truth, the vast potential of human reason. Christians in fact describe God, among other ways, as creative Reason, which orders and guides the world. And God endows us with the capacity to participate in his reason and thus to act in accordance with what is good. Muslims worship God, the Creator of Heaven and Earth, who has spoken to humanity. And as believers in the one God we know that human reason is itself God's gift and that it soars to its highest plane when suffused with the light of God's truth. In fact, when human reason humbly allows itself to be purified by faith, it is far from weakened; rather, it is strengthened to resist presumption and to reach beyond its own limitations. In this way, human reason is emboldened to pursue its noble purpose of serving mankind, giving expression to our deepest common aspirations and extending, rather than manipulating or confining, public debate. Thus, genuine adherence to religion - far from narrowing our minds - widens the horizon of human understanding. It protects civil society from the excesses of the unbridled ego which tend to absolutize the finite and eclipse the infinite; it ensures that freedom is exercised hand in hand with truth, and it adorns culture with insights concerning all that is true, good and beautiful.
This understanding of reason, which continually draws the human mind beyond itself in the quest for the Absolute, poses a challenge; it contains a sense of both hope and caution. Together, Christians and Muslims are impelled to seek all that is just and right. We are bound to step beyond our particular interests and to encourage others, civil servants and leaders in particular, to do likewise in order to embrace the profound satisfaction of serving the common good, even at personal cost. And we are reminded that because it is our common human dignity which gives rise to universal human rights, they hold equally for every man and woman, irrespective of his or her religious, social or ethnic group. In this regard, we must note that the right of religious freedom extends beyond the question of worship and includes the right - especially of minorities - to fair access to the employment market and other spheres of civic life.
Before I leave you this morning I would like to acknowledge in a special way the presence among us of His Beatitude Emmanuel III Delly, Patriarch of Baghdad, whom I greet most warmly. His presence brings to mind the people of neighboring Iraq many of whom have found welcome refuge here in Jordan. The international community's efforts to promote peace and reconciliation, together with those of the local leaders, must continue in order to bear fruit in the lives of Iraqis. I wish to express my appreciation for all those who are assisting in the endeavors to deepen trust and to rebuild the institutions and infrastructure essential to the well-being of that society. And once again, I urge diplomats and the international community they represent together with local political and religious leaders to do everything possible to ensure the ancient Christian community of that noble land its fundamental right to peaceful coexistence with their fellow citizens.
Distinguished friends, I trust that the sentiments I have expressed today will leave us with renewed hope for the future. Our love and duty before the Almighty is expressed not only in our worship but also in our love and concern for children and young people - your families - and for all Jordanians. It is for them that you labor and it is they who motivate you to place the good of every human person at the heart of institutions, laws and the workings of society. May reason, ennobled and humbled by the grandeur of God's truth, continue to shape the life and institutions of this nation, in order that families may flourish and that all may live in peace, contributing to and drawing upon the culture that unifies this great Kingdom! Thank you very much!

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced today that the U.S. Marshals Service seized more than 100 cases of products labeled as containing kratom. The products are distributed by Nature Therapeutics LLC, which does business as Kratom Therapy and is located in Grover Beach, California. The seized products are marketed under the brand name Kratom Therapy, and are worth approximately $150,000.
The U.S. Department of Justice filed the complaint, on behalf of the FDA, in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, alleging that the seized kratom products are unapproved new drugs and misbranded drugs under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
“The FDA will continue to take aggressive enforcement action to safeguard the public from harmful drug products illegally marketed as treatments for which they have not been studied or approved,” said Melinda Plaisier, the FDA’s associate commissioner for regulatory affairs.
The FDA is warning consumers not to use any products labeled as containing the botanical substance kratom. Mitragyna speciosa, commonly known as kratom, grows naturally in Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. Serious concerns exist regarding the toxicity of kratom in multiple organ systems. Consumption of kratom can lead to a number of health impacts including, respiratory depression, vomiting, nervousness, weight loss and constipation. Kratom has been indicated to have both narcotic and stimulant-like effects and withdrawal symptoms may include hostility, aggression, excessive tearing, aching of muscles and bones and jerky limb movements.
In January 2016, the FDA inspected the Grover Beach facility and also found that Nature Therapeutics’ website and social media sites included claims establishing that the company’s Kratom Therapy products are drugs because they are intended for use in the cure, mitigation, or treatment of various diseases. The FDA has not approved Nature Therapeutics’ products for any use. In addition, the complaint alleged that Nature Therapeutics’ products are also misbranded drugs because their labeling fails to provide adequate directions for use. The California Department of Public Health embargoed the products on behalf of the FDA.
In February 2014, the FDA issued an import alert regarding imported dietary supplements and bulk dietary ingredients that are, or contain, kratom without physical examination.
Health care professionals and consumers should report any adverse events related to products containing kratom to the FDA’s MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program. To file a report, use the MedWatch Online Voluntary Reporting Form. The completed form can be submitted online or via fax to 1-800-FDA-0178.

Social media has transformed birthdays into big deals.
It’s not unusual for friends and family you haven’t spoken with in years to join the birthday frenzy, posting well-wishes on your Facebook or Instagram pages. But most people still find birthday cards that arrive in the mail far more engaging and personal. Despite all of the changes in the way we communicate, most of life’s cherished messages are conveyed in print—tucked away to be held and admired year after year.
Paper and packaging help us stay thoughtfully connected to the people around us. Handwritten notes can make a lasting impression, while a package on our doorstep can surprise and delight us. Packaging creates a bond with the brands we love. And a framed photograph is tangible proof of a valued relationship.
This ability to connect on a deeper level is the reason we choose print, even when it may be easier, faster, and more affordable to connect digitally. So what creates our love of print? It comes down to science. Here are three reasons why print creates stronger connections.
Direct mail requires 21% less cognitive effort to process than digital media, brand recall was 70% higher for a direct mail piece, and direct mail’s motivation score was 20% higher than digital.
It’s no surprise that print also aids in our education. According to the Paper and Packaging Board’s Third Annual Productive Learning Survey, 93% of college students and 87% of students in grades 7 to 12 agree that paper is essential to their educational goals. Even junior high and high school students—who live rich digital lives—prefer paper when preparing for tests. Seventy percent of them take handwritten class notes; 58% fill out paper worksheets, and 60% make and use flashcards.
Did you know that the largest organ in the human body is our skin? Our skin is filled with millions of neuroreceptors that create our sense of touch. It’s no wonder why more than half our brain’s processing power is devoted to sensory experiences.
Over the years there have been a number of studies that prove we have a greater emotional connection to print and paper, largely due to our sense of touch. A Bangor University study which used functional MRI testing concluded that physical material is more “real” to the brain and involves more emotional processing, which is important for memory and brand associations.
Further conclusions were drawn from research conducted by a neuroscientist, Dr. David Eagleman. His findings, which were promoted by Sappi Fine Paper in their 2015 publication Haptic Brain, Haptic Brand, explained how we understand the world through touch, a concept known as embodied cognition.
Essentially, he says: the way something feels drives our thoughts and behaviors.
For example, studies show that people who are lightly touched by a server in a restaurant leave bigger tips, doctors who touch their patients are seen as more caring, and NBA teams who interact physically during games—high-fives, chest-bumps, and the like—consistently win more games.
Since you can’t feel an email, e-book, or online display ad, print has a significant head start when it comes to building connections with customers.
Have you ever noticed how much of the world around you involves print? Although you may be consuming less of it (because you communicate via email or pay bills online), every day you interact with thousands of printed materials. Street signs, food labels, clothing tags—the world is full of print and paper and our society could not function without it.
That’s why, despite the abundance of digital communication options, we choose print when something is important. Whether we need to communicate critical health and safety information or celebrate an important life event, print continues to be an important part of our daily lives.
The much-loved wedding website “The Knot” reported that the average cost of wedding invitations in 2017 was $408. Prices range from $2 each for digitally printed invitations available online, to $10 or more for beautiful works of art from stationery retailers like Crane & Co. But why does this pricey tradition still persist?
Because according to the experts, a printed invitation sends a signal of importance.
Marketing experts say the key to using print effectively is to use it creatively and when possible make it the first touchpoint in your campaign.
With digital communications, the only connection is visual. All messages feel the same when you touch them on your iPad screen, but print can engage across many senses. Unique substrates, high-quality paper, dimensional shapes, specialty inks, and textured coatings are just a few of the ways print stands out. That’s why experts suggest using direct mail as one of your first campaign touchpoints. Its unique characteristics can help you build connections faster and drive people to additional information online.

LinkedIn is by far my most favoured of all social media tools when it comes to business. I use it daily, from reading helpful articles to managing my contacts. In the last lesson we discovered why LinkedIn is the wake up call that every business person needs, and this week we’ll focus on using the platform to stay connected.
LinkedIn will be twelve years old in May, making it one of the longest running social media platforms. One thing that the platform has done – and very well too – is to stay focused on its core objective, which is to help its users to stay in touch. This is the fundamental principle of LinkedIn, which has been demonstrated through the inclusion of the contacts database – a feature that has always strengthened the platform.
So, what does this mean for business leaders?
Simple. Your contacts will remain in one place and available at any time. I have been using LinkedIn for more than eleven year now, and one thing that it has always provided me with is a reliable online location in which to store my contacts. I’ve lost countless address books, had the better of a few phones and been victim to the curse of the corrupted computer. You name it, my contact list has been through the mill, and not to mention the washing machine! But I’ve always had LinkedIn to back me up.
Did you know that you can export your contacts from LinkedIn?
Here’s how the platform had helped me to stay in touch with my network of contacts over the years as my career has progressed, companies have changed and I’ve grown older!
Our tips and advice are free and we are here to help with any questions you may have. Want to know more? Get in touch.

Ernest Hemingway used these words to describe the running of bulls through the streets in Pamplona during San Fermin, but the truth is that he could have written it after passing through Ampuero (in Cantabria) or Segorbe (Castellón), or through many other places spanned across the Spanish geography.
The running of bulls through the streets is a very rooted custom in Spain. A good example of this is Cuellar, where they take place the last Sunday in August ever since 1215 and they’re still done the traditional way: the bulls are moved by the horsemen to the bullpen, where they will be fought later.
Dating from the 15th century there’s the encierros of the Toro Carnival – which take place in Ciudad Rodrigo (Salamanca) – and the ones in Medina del Campo, which are celebrated during the San Antolín festivities, from the 1st to the 8th of September.
The love for the running of the bulls through the streets extends to both of the Castillas, where each village has their own encierro. The most famous ones in La Mancha are the ones from Torrejoncillo del Rey, Buendía or Carrascosa del Campo, all found in Cuenca; the ones from villages in Guadalajara like Sacedón, Illana, Yebra or Albalate de Zorita; and the ones in Sierra de Segura, in Albacete.
They’re also celebrated in the eastern part of Spain. At the moment, they’re quite a controversial issue in Catalonia due to the recent prohibition regarding bullfighting inside this community, but they’re still carried out in some places in Tarragona. Aragón still celebrates the Novillas. In Valencia, the better known are the ones in Sant Joan and Puçol; in Murcia the ones celebrated in Moratalla are beginning to gain quite fame.
In the south, the encierros that take place in La Peza, Granada, have been awarded the “Andalusian Turist Interest” stamp; and in Coria (Extremadura) they celebrate them during the San Juan festivities.
Even Madrid has encierros. This doesn’t mean one day we’ll find a herd of bulls running through the Gran Via. They normally take place in cities like San Sebastian de los Reyes (often referred to as “little Pamplona”) where they are celebrated at the end of August; or Navalcarnero, where they’ve got the particularity of being at night.
We left some out (if we listed them all we’d have to write a whole book) but if we can’t go to Pamplona, it’s good to know we can run in front of bulls in any place in Spain, always keeping in mind our security and the rules.
Tenerife, in the Canary Islands, has two festivities this month: The one for Virgin Carmen on the 16th, and the Santa Ana one, on the 26th.
The first one is the most picturesque. Virgin Carmen is the patron saint of sailors, so it’s stands to reason she’d be important in the island. You’ve surely seen the images of the devotees carrying the Virgin from the church of Nuestra Señora de la Peña de Francia to the port (called Puerto de la Cruz) , where she’s loaded on a very old ship and taken on a curious marine procession accompanied by brass band music and singing. Normally, thousands of people attend. The procession ends with a huge fireworks show.
The Santa Ana festivity is more discreet and more traditional, to put it some way: a procession takes Santa Ana on a walk through the main streets of the city during the last hours of the day. The floors of the streets are covered by images done by the neighbours with coloured salt, a very brief form of art. To see the images before they disappear you have to walk the same course as Santa Ana, before the procession starts, and be very careful not to spoil anything.
After the procession ends, the neighbours and visitors can enjoy a verbena and a fireworks show. It’s a mixture of solemnity and spectacle, a very attractive combination.
The traveller won’t be let down by either of these festivities: they’re very characteristic, with a special flavour and, best of all, very close in time, so it’s possible to see both during the same stay.
Ask a Spaniard to tell you the name of the first soprano that comes to mind. Most will tell you the same name: Montserrat Caballé.
The most well known and imitated (even by comedians) Spanish opera singer was born in Barcelona in 1933, to a family with a mother of aristocrat origins and an industrial chemist that who fell from disgrace during the civil war. Very early, and encouraged by cultured parents, Montserrat displays a great talent for the bel canto. When she was 8, she entered the Liceu de Barcelona, and almost left her studies due to an illness that almost incapacitated his father to work. Her mother did odd and badly paid jobs, which made it hard to continue with her training.
Thanks to one of Montserrat’s uncle she found out about an art living family in Barcelona, the Bertrand Mata, who were willing to protect talent during those hard post war years. Without giving it a second thought, the young singer went to them with a credential of one of her teachers. She was able to get a pension of 1000 pesetas a month and continue studying her career, which she finished with a Special Mention: the Extraordinary Award of the Conservatory.
In 1955 she sets foot for the first time on a stage, signing the main role in Pergolesi’s La Serva Padrona in Fortuny de Reus Theatre. Her portentous voice and disciplined technique serves her to be part of the Municipal Theatre Company of Basel the next year. On that same year she debuts out of Spain, interpreting main role in no less than Puccini’s “La Bohème”. Other operas as important followed, such as “Tosca”, also by Puccini or the one and only “Aída”, by Verdi.
The quality of her voice and hers as a singer did not go unnoticed by the responsible of Bremen Opera, who hired her for the 1960-1961 season. However Montserrat felt nostalgia of her land and returned to Barcelona in 1962.
Her first international hit would come by mere chance. In 1965 she had to substitute a singer who was ill in a concert that would take place in New York’s Carnegie Hall. Her manner of singing “Lucrezia Borgia” by Donizetti was greeted by brief but significant critique:““Callas + Tebaldi = Caballé”. This meant that her voice had the best of the two greatest divas of the time, María Callas and Renata Tebaldi.
From that moment on and during the last years of the 60’s and the first of the 70’s Montserrat Caballé became an interpreter with her own identity and style, adding to her repertoire great performances in the main stages such as the Metropolitan Opera House in New Cork, where she performed Gounod’s Faust, “La Traviata” by Verdi in the Royal Opera house in London or Bellini’s Norma in Scala de Milan.
During the 80’s and 90’s, as a consecrated soprano, she receives tributes and awards such as the Gold Medal of the Generalitat de Catalunya (1982), the National Music Award of Spain, (1988) and perhaps the most important the Prince of Asturias Award of the Arts (1991).
However her most beloved tribute was her friendship with another music legend, the rock singer Freddie Mercury, with whom she sang the hit “Barcelona”, used by the 1992 Olympic Games. Queen’s singer was a great admirer of the soprano, and after meeting by chance in the Barcelona Ritz hotel, he became one of her greatest friends. So much in fact that after his death, Montserrat contributed money to erect a monument in Mercury’s honour in Montreux (Switzerland).
Today she’s one of Spain’s most admired and respected artists. Not because of her voice and talent, but also because of her modesty and humanity. It’s a shame that we have little time to enjoy her live performances, as she has announced her retirement for 2013, when she turns 80 years old. Don’t think twice if you have the opportunity to assist to one of her concerts or shows.
Inexplicably, this Aragonese recipe has acquired fame for being complicated and needing much time. In fact, there’s a joke about a chef who’s asked to write a cooking book, but as the publication date comes near without him writing any recipes at all, he decides to write down the recipe for this chicken with pepper sauce because it’s very long and it would fill in the whole book.
Even though it’s composed of relatively light ingredients like chicken, tomato, peppers, garlic and onion, the final result is quite strong, especially after the bacon is added.
If you want to try it at home (so you can prove it’s not as difficult as they say) take note: First we peel the onions and garlic and chop them up very fine; afterwards we fry them with a little olive oil until the onion is transparent. Meanwhile, boil the tomatoes for half a minute, peel them, throw them in with the onion and garlic and cook this mix, stirring, for 10 minutes.
Put a little olive oil in a clay pot and cook the chicken and bacon. When they’re golden, throw in the peppers, previously cut in strips, and the mix of onion, garlic and tomato. Cook in low fire for about 15 to 20 minutes and then add white wine. Let this evaporate a bit and add half a glass of water mixed with salt and pepper, and let cook for another 20 minutes.
It may be more hard work than an omelette, but you still don’t have to be a physics engineer to cook it. Let’s say it’s the perfect recipe to prepare during a weekend, when we have enough time to spend a luxurious hour cooking.
“Batirse el cobre” (Beat the copper). This is one of those expressions that have many meanings. When we speak about someone who “se bate el cobre” we may be saying that this person works hard, that he tries to solve a problem with determination, or in an argument, defends his arguments with enthusiastically.
We don’t know if the same happens to readers of other countries, but to the Spanish this expression sounds archaic, and takes us back to a time where it was common to find a smithy in the streets or come upon a sword duel.
In fact, the proverb may come from that era, the Golden Century (between the 16th and 17th century) and from the circumstances we mentioned before. For some, its origin is in the hard the effort it took for the blacksmith to work on copper, with many and continuous hammering. Another, much more romantic and seductive theory refers to fighting: in that time the parts of the swords that protected the hands, the guards (“guardas” in Spanish) were made of copper; so the person who was present in a duel watched literally how the contenders, beat the air with their weapons. Of course, as it’s common in these cases, the real one is probably the less attractive theory.
Whatever its origin, the truth is we all feel certain admiration when we hear “nos estamos batiendo el cobre”.
Practically in every language there’s a curious figure called “palindrome”. It’s that word that can be read the same from right to left or left to right. Of course, Spanish also has quite a few (more than 300). They are relatively easy to find if we don’t discard plural words, tenses or easy words like “ojo” or “ama. But we like challenges, so we give you a list of “authentic” palindromes, without the cheating.
Álala: refers to a mute person or who cannot speak.
Anilina: a substance that derives from ammonia and which some dyes are manufactured with.
Anona: ever more archaic, this words means “supply of food”.
Lapalis the name used for an extension of territory used as lapa (barnacle) farm.
Neuquén: A region in the south east of Argentina.
Orejero: this term is used to refer to something relative to eras (oreja).
Rotor: in mechanics the word denominates a rotating piece of a turbine or the rotatory system that maintains a helicopter in the air.
Radar: we all know what this means from war or aviation movies. A detection device that uses electromagnetic waves.
Yatay: plant of the palm family.
Ullú: Another class of plant, used as a substitute for mate, a typical herb consumed in many countries of South America.
There are many more, but we leave that to you as it’s also a good exercise to learn new Spanish words and trying to read them backwards is a good mind training.
“Paleto” (hick, bumpkin, peasant) If you’re spending some time in Spain you’ll encounter this word sooner or later, probably as an insult or in a rude context. We don’t recommend its use unless you’re already familiarized with the peculiar Spanish temper.
Once we’ve warned you, we can continue with the explanation of its meaning: a “paleto” is someone who’s lived in a village their whole life and hasn’t had any contact with the more urban culture, which is supposedly more refined and advanced, to put it some way. So a “paleto”, apart from being someone with little culture, is also someone cruder, who tends to solve the “city problems” with “country solutions”.
The origins are not quite clear. The Dictionary of the Royal Academy of Spanish Language assures it comes from the word “paleta”, which has multiple meanings, from “building tool” to “incisor tooth”. What this has anything to do with rural life is a mystery.
It’s not a nice word and its use can get us many enemies, moreover because most of the people living in the big cities in Spain come from a rural background. So we repeat: be careful when using it, because we all know that old saying “sticks and stones may break your bones but names will never hurt you” isn’t really true.

Arena Football may be new to China but it’s become a way of life for Shenzhen Naja assistant coach Datong Wang. Wang was born in China and started playing football as a 12 year old when he moved to the United States. He played high school football in Hawaii and remained a fan of the game while attending the University of Illinois. After receiving his MBA from University of Hawaii in 2005 he returned to China. Seven years later it was back to tackle football with The Shanghai Warriors. In 2013 he moved on to form the Shanghai Titans American Football Club as a player and a coach. Now he can’t wait to see how the China Arena Football League will be received.
Wang has also made a successful transition in to television as an NFL color commentator. After working with SINA.com in the 2008-2009 season, he filled the same role for the next five seasons with PPTV. There he had to be objective. Now he admits he might be a little more biased working with Shenzhen.
Wang will be the first to tell you that there is much to do as his team prepares for the upcoming season, but he still tries to find time to follow one of his favorite past times, football of course.

NEW DELHI, India, March 30, 2011 (ENS) – India’s population of endangered tigers has increased by 225 animals since 2007, according to the results of the latest census released at the International Tiger Conservation Conference underway in New Delhi.
The government estimated tiger numbers at 1,706, up from 1,411 during the last count in 2007.
However, the 1,706 figure includes an additional tiger reserve in the count, the Sundarbans, that contained 70 tigers. This area was not counted in 2007.
So, when comparing the previous survey with the current one, the official estimate stands at 1,636, excluding the Sundarbans, or an increase of 225 animals.
Announcing the new numbers Monday at the opening of the conference, Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh said that close to 30 percent of the estimated tiger population is outside India’s 39 Tiger Reserves. “We do not have complete strategies to deal with this,” he said.
There is a considerable rise of tiger numbers in southern states, where Karnataka shows the highest figure of 320 estimated tigers, he said.
The count was conducted by India’s National Tiger Conservation Authority with key nongovernmental partners in the largest tiger population survey ever undertaken.
Numbering more than 100,000 at the turn of the 20th century, tigers have lost more than 97 percent of their population and 94 percent of their home range in just 100 years.
Today, India has half of the world’s remaining wild tigers, and the government supports tiger recovery.
Poaching for body parts, illegal trade and habitat degradation have reduced the world tiger population to about 3,200. Lately, conflict with people has emerged as one of the major threats in tiger conservation, particularly in India.
Hosted by the government of India, the conference is being held in collaboration with the Global Tiger Forum and the Global Tiger Initiative. The participants include leaders from all 13 tiger range countries, scientists, and conservation organizations, including WWF, the International Fund for Animal Welfare and the Wildlife Trust of India.
“These numbers give us hope for the future of tigers in the wild, and that India continues to play an integral role in the tiger’s recovery,” said WWF International Director General Jim Leape. He is chairing a conference session on the role of international and national partners in implementing the Global Tiger Recovery Programme, the first formalized international initiative to save the species from extinction.
This worldwide plan to bring the species back from the brink of extinction by doubling the world tiger population by 2022 was forged last November at an international tiger conservation meeting in St. Petersburg, Russia hosted by Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin.
Vivek Menon, executive director of the Wildlife Trust of India and IFAW’s regional director for South Asia, is on the front lines of tiger conservation. “We have provided training and equipped more than 8,500 frontline staff in India alone. Our field officers have also played a crucial role in securing tiger habitats in a number of Indian states, by facilitating granting them protected area status,” he said.
Wild tigers are now found in Indonesia, Malaysia, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, China and Russia.

Hello there. I have a few questions regarding the recent release of BIOS update with version number CDCN37WW.
Currently my BIOS is on version CDCN35WW. I was about to install it yesterday but did not because of several reasons. I read the instruction saying that I should put the BIOS settings at its default settings before installing the CDCN37WW update and there lies my problem.
I bought the 15ISK version with 1TB HDD. A month ago I bought a 128GB SSD and did a clean install of Windows 10 on my new SSD. After booting into Windows 10 on my SSD in Legacy Mode, I format the partition in the 1TB HDD which houses my default installation of Windows 10 (the pre-installed Windows 10 by Lenovo). I did not completely wipe the HDD altogether and thus I still have the partitions created by Lenovo.
The main issue that is stopping me from installing the update is my BIOS settiings. In BIOS boot submenu, I have it set to Legacy and then Legacy First so that it detects my SSD. UEFI does not detect my SSD. Default settings sets UEFI instead of Legacy.
In conclusion, I cannot install the BIOS update even if I wanted to because I won't be able to boot into Windows 10 on my SSD once I change BIOS settings to default because UEFI (default settings is set to UEFI) does not detect my SSD.
1. Does anyone have any solution or workaround to this problem ?
2. Is it really compulsory to set the BIOS settings back default ? Or is it just a "just to be safe" thing ?
If anyone do have any experince in upgrading BIOS, kindly chime in. Any help will be much appreciated.
I updated the BIOS in an Ideapad 700-15ISK earlier this week (not the same BIOS as your Y700). I too normally have "Legacy Boot" and "Legacy First" enabled, but I forget to reset the BIOS to default. The BIOS Update Utility installed in Windows OK, but when I invoked the utility to update the BIOS, it terminated with a completely mystifying error message (something about "String out of range"). I reset the BIOS to default and re-invoked the utility, and the BIOS then updated without further problem. I also reset the BIOS to default AFTER the BIOS update, just to make sure that everything was set properly. Then I re-implemented my BIOS changes.
Does your SSD have the old-style MBR (master boot record) partition table, or the newer GPT (guid partition table)? I think that a GPT is mandatory for UEFI boot. If your SSD is MBR, that might be why your BIOS does not allow you to choose the SSD as the boot device when UEFI boot is enabled. It is possible to convert an MBR disk to GPT without having to re-install Windows, but you need some software to do it. I recently used "Bootit Bare Metal" to convert the other way, but Bootit is not freeware.
The other possibility is to install the BIOS Update Utility as normal, but without updating the BIOS (there is a check mark on the "Finish" panel; deselect it before clicking "Finish"). Then reset your BIOS to default. Then boot the Windows Recovery USB drive, start a command window, navigate to the folder where the BIOS Update Utility is stored, and invoke it ("install.bat"). The risk here is that the recovery environment does not contain all of the Windows services that the BIOS Update Utility needs in order to run. If true, it would probably fail to start, but there is a small possibility that it would fail part-way through updating the BIOS, and leave your system totally unusable. Hmm, risky.
I see. I assume your HDD/SSD is in GPT format, is it ? Mine is in MBR format.
After reading on how you updated your BIOS, I feel like trying to find a way to convert my SSD from MBR to GPT first before updating the BIOS, maybe have a look at the software you mentioned. I'll probably make sure that my SSD can boot in UEFI Mode first and only then update the BIOS. Sounds like the safest way of doing it without encountering much problem.
Thanks a lot for the reply, gave me a great insight to solve this problem.
The variant of the Ideapad 700-15ISK that I purchased has a 128GB SSD and 1TB HDD as standard, and both are set up as GPT, with UEFI boot enabled; Windows was pre-installed on the SSD. I have changed the BIOS to "Legacy Boot" and "Legacy First", but that works fine with the GPT disks.
the script deletes all of the partitions, sets the partition mode to GPT, creates the various partitions, and then installs Windows. But your Recovery USB drive was expecting to do that on the HDD. If you performed recovery with your new disk arrangement, would Windows install to the SSD, or would it overwrite the current contents of your HDD? I don't know the answer to that, but you might want to consider using a separate method of backing up and restoring your Windows drive (i.e. a method that does not involve using the Windows Recovery USB drive).
I see. I have a feeling Windows will actually install on HDD as DISKPART.EXE and everything related to OEM partition created by Lenovo was by default came with the HDD. Guess I'll have to hold on from updating my BIOS for the mean time. Have a lot of work to do and can't risk bricking my Y700-15ISK.
There is this one method though albeit very tedious. I can actually run recovery, have my laptop reset to factory settings just the way I bought it (BIOS with default UEFI settings, Windows installed on HDD), upgrade the BIOS and later on clean install Windows on my SSD. A hassle but I see some benefits to it though. Having the latest BIOS as well as the opportunity to properly configure and install Windows 10 on my SSD in GPT format. That way I can boot my SSD in UEFI mode. I read somewhere that SSD runs better in UEFI compared to Legacy. Plus I'll never have to face this problem again should Lenovo release another BIOS update down the line as BIOS settings will always be in its default state.
This method in theory, is viable right ?

Getting the setup that you want might take several days (if you have to re-install Windows multiple times!), so it is definitely a good idea to postpone these changes until you have the time. Also, before you start, BACKUP your essential files to an external USB disk and then unplug it!
(1) BACKUP my essential files.
(2) Reset the BIOS to default.
(4) Re-install Windows completely from the Recovery USB drive onto the HDD; this will delete all partitions on the HDD.
(5) Check that Windows boots and operates correctly.
(6) Install the new BIOS.
(8) In "Computer Management", delete all partitions on the SSD.
(9) Right-click the square box to the left of the free space. There should be a selection that says "Convert to GPT disk"; left-click that.
(10) When conversion is complete, shutdown Windows.
(11) Enter the BIOS and check that the SSD is now available as a bootable device using UEFI boot.
(12) Re-order the bootable devices so that the SSD is first.
(13) Install Windows on the SSD. This might require some experimentation to get a working system. It might just be possible to use the Recovery USB drive if you disconnect the HDD. Otherwise, an OS installation image downloaded from Microsoft should work (but it won't have the preloaded Lenovo apps).
I hope that this all works out OK.
I'm sure the method you suggest will work perfectly fine though I'll have to wait till I really do have some free time to setup my laptop again. That's a lot of steps right there. Not to mention needing to open up the bottom cover probably twice which can be a pain.
That being said, thanks a lot for the feedback and suggestions. Very much appreciated.
Hi.i'm currently using Lenovo ideapad y700 i5isk and i wanted to update my bios but im not sure which one is the latest one: CDCN35WW or CDCN53WW.both are about the same size(5.5mb).
CDCN53WW should be the latest one.. I suggest you read about the latest BIOS update first in other threads because I remember reading some users are having problems with it.. So much so that some of them even want to revert back to an older version.. I am still on CDCN35WW as I haven't had the time to update yet due to my configuration.. So I can't speak from experience regarding the latest BIOS update..

Just Be Thankful It Wasn’t A Moose-Shaped Loofa | Comics I Don't Understand - This site is now being updated daily at http://www.comicsidontunderstand.com. Please change your bookmark if necessary, and notify any web site with a link to the old address.
As far as I can see, the guy has a squirrel-shaped loofa and therefore didn’t realize there was a real squirrel in his shower. I kind of hate to think about what body part he tried to clean first.
If there’s more (or less) to this comic, I trust somebody will let me know.
if this was me, it would not be surprising for me to scare the @#%^ out of myself with the squirrel-shaped loofah, thinking it was a real squirrel. maybe it sounds crazy, but that’s the only thing *I* can think of . . .
First thing in the morning, in the shower, possibly without glasses or contacts you need, you might forget that the squirrel shape in the shower is that novelty loofah you bought. The realization hits your sleep-fogged brain AFTER you’ve committed to the ill-advised panic-lurch.
My mind went Arlo immediately.
I imagine a real squirrel found the squirrel shaped loofah, and became enamoured with it.
Ha, that’s actually funny and pretty descriptive for amateur erotica.
As for the CIDU, it’s a simple matter of mistaken identity. A squirrel shape in the shower is not a good thing to see in the morning, loofah or not.
Well, nobody else has said it yet, so I guess it’s up to me to point out the obvious: “nuts”.
I’m going totally off track here and wonder if the thing in panel 3 is a squirrel. Its tail doesn’t look squirrelish at all. If it were a dog, the strip would make sense, since dogs go nuts over squirrels. I can see a dog attacking a shower curtain if he thought a squirrel were behind it.
I was picturing the long, bushy tail and figured that when he was started scrubbing his back he got “probed” a little farther down than he’d expected.
Ac. The grommet looks like an eye, and the ring looks like a mouth.
However, since we see neither a squirrel nor a dog, I’m still going with the dog hypothesis. Some dogs love the shower (my Golden does,) dogs chase squirrels, and it is more likely a dog will be in the bathroom than a squirrel.
If not that, him thinking it is a real squirrel seems more likely, though I’ve never seen a squirrel be as still as a loofah would be.
Ok, I see where you’re going. I was so fixated on the leg I didn’t even see the ‘face’ at the top. Whatever is in there with him, its funny.
I saw the face near the top too; that eye is the point of an exclamation point.
Whatever’s in the shower with him, it’s so scary that it temporarily scares the shower head away in panel three.
Given the character, scaring himself into thinking he’s been attacked by a squirrel in the shower is by far the most likely answer.

Prepare baking pan for crust; butter, then flour the pan. Take a bit of room temperature butter on your fingertips, and smear it onto the base, and side of the baking pan. Then add a bit of flour, shake the pan coating the bottom and sides well. Empty any access flour from the baking pan. This will prevent sticking.
Add your refrigerator crust to your prepared baking pan, making certain it is snugly fitted against the bottom and sides. Use your fingertips to push the dough into place. Using a fork, pierce the bottom, and sides of the crust. Piercing will prevent the crust from bubbling up, and separating from the baking pan during the baking process.
Chop ham into small squares, about 1/4".
In a bowl, place raw eggs, and beat with a fork approximately two minutes, until well blended, and a bit frothy. Add the Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning to the eggs, and whisk with your fork to blend.
Add grated cheese, and ham, stir blending well.
Pour the egg, cheese, ham mixture into the prepared baking pan. Place in center oven, upon center rack, and bake at 350 degrees F, for 20 minutes, or until golden brown, and knife inserted in center of quiche comes out clean.
In a sauce pan melt 3 tablespoons of butter on low to medium heat, gas mark 2 Do not allow the butter to brown, you want it just melted.
To the butter, with the heat off, add flour, and stir vigorously incorporating the flour, and butter forming a roux. Note; the heat must be off, if the heat is on, your flour will not incorporate into the butter, it will clump, causing your gravy to be lumpy.
Once the butter, and flour have formed a smooth base, add salt, and pepper to taste.
Add milk slowly, stirring vigorously. It's best to add a small amount of milk, then stir to incorporate it into the your roux base. Adding milk gradually, while stirring constantly. This methods help to create a smooth gravy.
Once the milk is incorporated, turn heat back on to medium low, gas mark 2, and heat the gravy. As the gravy heats, the gluten will thicken, and cause the gravy to thicken. Once gravy is to your desired consistency, it is ready to serve.
Spoon a bit of gravy, atop your quiche, and enjoy. The cream gravy is not necessary to this recipe. I'm a 4th generation Texan, we think everything needs cream gravy! We can't help ourselves. You may certainly enjoy the quiche plain, especially if you are gluten sensitive. But...if you want to pretend to be a Texan, whisk yourself up a bit of cream gravy, and enjoy a taste of Texas. Besides it helps your, real man eat quiche.

What is gravitational and potential energy?
Every object may have Potential energy but Gravitational Potential energy is only stored in the height of the object. Any time that a heavy object is kept high up, a force or power is likely to be holding it up there. This is the reason why it stays up and does not fall. It is important to note that the heavier the object, the more its potential energy.
Consider Mr Green throwing a bag of gold coins to Mr Red, who is up a tower. As Mr Green throws the bag from A to B, potential energy is transferred from Mr Green into the bag, which now has kinetic energy.
As the bag moves upwards, kinetic energy decreases, and gravitational energy increases. At the highest point (B) Kinetic energy is zero, and Gravitational potential energy is highest.
As the bag did not get to Mr Red, it starts falling from point B downwards due to gravity. It starts falling slowly (kinetic energy is low) and then speeds up downwards.
At point A, the bag is at full speed and kinetic energy is highest, whiles gravitational energy is nearly lost.
When the bag of gold coins hits the ground, kinetic energy is converted into heat and sound by the impact.
It is worth noting that the higher the gravitational energy of an object moving downwards, the lower the kinetic energy, and the lower the kinetic energy of an object moving upwards, the higher its gravitational energy.

We're here, back in Saskatoon. It still feels utterly surreal. I actually kind of feel like I'm housesitting here, not renting long-term. I can barely believe it's over, that all we have to do now is unpack things, start living life normally again.
The move went quite smoothly, all in all. We failed to get an impossibly large piece of furniture downstairs, but we've been assured that it can be safely taken apart and put back together with wood screws in the place it belongs - my downstairs office. I have a great deal of things languishing on the floor in my office as a result of this, but my office is beautifully bedecked in the two colors I requested from our landlords - deep green and purple - and I am set up with my required office things for the moment.
Moving day was utterly exhausting of course, but both Paul and I held up quite well considering. We had steady help throughout the day from different friends, and it made us both feel very loved to have so many helpful people giving us something valuable - their physical strength and errand-running abilities. My sister-in-law bought me the groceries I requested, which was an amazing gift since today there was freezing rain and I don't think I'm going to go out for anything tomorrow as a result unless it all melts.
The lions share of my time in the last two days since our move has been spent unpacking and generally attempting to make the house more livable. I started with the living room and dining room, which are the most important spaces. I made some cellophane ghosts out of used packing materials and hung them out for Halloween to try and attract children who might skip our place because there's a park down the street. We also bought some candy at WalMart in the late morning after returning the truck and getting some McDonalds sausage and egg mcmuffins for breakfast. I also took time to carve a very simple pumpkin. In the end, we only got about 40 trick or treaters yesterday, but I distinctly heard one of them say, "That was the best house yet!" upon leaving my doorstep, and another while waiting in line to pick candy, "This is gonna be great!" Mission accomplished.

How exciting – you’re finally buying your dream home, or maybe selling your first home to move on to bigger and better things. What could possibly go wrong? Well, when it comes to buying or selling a property, we often don’t think of the nitty-gritty background work that needs to be done. If only it was simple as swapping a cheque for a key, but the settlement process is actually quite a long one, involving lots of legal and administrative tasks. One of these is conveyancing.
While it’s tempting to cut costs and do as much as you can possibly yourself during this process, hiring a conveyancer or solicitor when buying a house is not an area you should scrimp on. The question remains, can you buy a house without a solicitor? Absolutely! But in the long run, it might be easier and cheaper to hire a professional to do it for you. If you would like to talk to a real estate agent that can recommend a professional, experienced conveyancer, don’t hesitate to visit our homepage and compare top-selling real estate agents.
In order to make an informed decision (about anything!) it’s important to lay out all of the options and facts. So, with that let’s discuss some of the potential downfalls, along with the advantages of doing the conveyancing tasks yourself vs hiring a conveyancer or solicitor when buying or selling a house.
How Much Does A DIY Conveyancing Kit Cost?
Why Get An Experienced Conveyancer or Solicitor?
Looking For An Experienced Conveyancer?
Conveyancing is the branch of law associated with the preparation and processing of documents when buying or selling a house or property, including ownership transfers, inspections and payments. A conveyancer or solicitor will be able to cover absolutely everything when it comes to buying a house, including title transfers, contract requirements and even information on council regulations surrounding your ideas for your property should you be planning and expansion or build.
Usually, a solicitor can specialise in the branch of real estate, and therefore be able to complete conveyancing tasks for you. A solicitor is likely to also cover different areas of law, and sometimes their fees are slightly more expensive than a conveyancer.
A conveyancer works only in conveyancing and possibly does not have further qualifications in other areas. Whereas a solicitor may work from a firm, a conveyancer may be on hand at your local real estate agency or property advisor’s office.
While the two are ever so slightly different, you can’t go wrong with either one. While prices may vary, or a conveyancer may be readily available through the real estate you are handling your transaction through, it’s best to go with the most convenient and affordable option to you as opposed to stressing over the title ‘solicitor’ – and of course, doing it yourself is also an option. Is it a good one, though?
As we mentioned cost-cutting earlier, legal documents are generally not the place to be ‘cheaping out’ on, and can actually end up consuming more of your funds if done wrong. Although, there are do-it-yourself kits available for conveyancing that are a very small portion of the price of a qualified conveyancer or solicitor; so the option is certainly there. However, these ‘one size fits all’ forms don’t always cater to situations where clients have special requests, or may not be tailored to local legislation. Considering the costs of a retainer fee, having to hire a professional for only these few tasks may end up being equal or more than the amount spent on getting a solicitor for buying and selling a house from the word go.
If you are confident in doing your own conveyancing and you feel as if the transaction is fairly standard and straightforward, a DIY kit may be perfect for you. However, on the other hand if you have little to no experience with legal terms or buying or selling a property it would be a lot safer to hire a professional to get the job done.
A do-it-yourself conveyancing kit will only set you back around $80 – $150 (if all goes well), whereas solicitors for buying a house may reach from $500 up to the $1500 mark, with professionals who specialise only in conveyancing being slightly less expensive than fully qualified solicitors who handle a range of legal tasks in their job. A specialised conveyancer will usually cost around $1000, however each of these options may vary in price dependent on your own personal conditions and situation surrounding the property in question; such as complexity of special requests etc.
Of course the catch-22 with all DIY projects is that they take more time. Hiring a solicitor or conveyancer may be beneficial for peace of mind, but it is definitely the easiest and most efficient way to go about it.
When it comes to conveyancing, even the DIY kits are not set out in layman’s terms – these are, after all, legally binding documents. You will have to spend some time familiarising yourself with the terminology and procedures surrounding conveyancing before going ahead with your DIY form submission. This in itself can take enough time, let alone the actual time spent completing them, and then additionally the time you will need to set aside in order to ensure you can attend to any urgent matters or errors surrounding the documents should they arise.
Time and money are two of the most important factors when it comes to buying a property or home, however they do not tend to go hand in hand when it comes to the conveyancing process. A do-it-yourself kit is definitely a way to save money but eat up all of your spare time in the process. A conveyancer may be the best option for you if you have other tasks to be taking care of in this transition period.
As mentioned in our previous points, DIY conveyancing forms usually don’t cater to special requirements. A transfer of ownership with an extended settlement timeframe, and/or other contract of sale special conditions is best to be looked over by a professional solicitor for buying a house.
Surprisingly to some of us, a lot of organisations are involved when buying a house – more than just the owner and the buyer. There can be complications that arise with councils, banks, restrictions with the property and of course, complications with the seller themselves. So while you may be asking “do I need a conveyancer?”, the answer may actually lie in whether or not you have the time and capacity to be dealing with a range of possible common problems and legal issues that often come to the head when buying or selling a property.
If you feel as though your transaction is very standard, and you even have a little bit of experience in buying or selling properties and legal documents in general, then a do-it-yourself conveyancing kit would still be a good, viable option for you.
Conveyancing involves a lot of different documents, not just the face value of ownership transfer and settlements contracts.
Conveyancing also covers the property or title search – this is a certificate which gives details about the current state and measurements of the land or home, details on the current owners of the property and a record of any dealings associated with the property. Other types of documents include details on planning restrictions, information regarding road access, council rates and notices along with other information regarding the municipality, and even zoning regulations.
As you can imagine, this information is not always readily available. A solicitor or conveyancer will be highly experienced in finding these types of forms and records, and can really streamline the process for you.
Usually, to access this sort of information yourself, you may need to go through an information broker, who sells the information anyway. A conveyancer has the costs of this covered in their fee, and their professional access level may be able to get the information on hand a lot sooner than you could have (usually within 5 business days).
So, why would you bother hiring a conveyancer or solicitor? We’re going to talk about what a professional can bring to the table for you and how they can make the process of conveyancing far easier. The most important factor of hiring solicitors for buying a house is their professional experience. Their ability to streamline the process and their knowledge on commons issues that arise within the settlement period can help you determine which actions to take and ultimately avoids errors. Furthermore, if something goes wrong with the first set of documents, the conveyancer will be able to translate the results and fix them for you, so you don’t spend even more time searching up legal terms and phrases.
Generally, no two property sales are the same, but this is not to say that a conveyancer will not have seen similar situations before; even if they haven’t, they are qualified in the area after all. Any special requirements, conditions, permits or titles that may seem confusing to you and hinder the transaction process, a solicitor or conveyancer is almost guaranteed to have the solution in a much faster time frame than you may have been able to find yourself.
If you’re a little unfamiliar with the laws and your rights surrounding buying or selling of a property, you could be taken advantage of – a conveyancer will definitely make sure this doesn’t happen to you. You’ll also be able to implement your own special requirements with the help of a solicitor, so if there’s anything you need, you’ve got an all-rounder on hand to help you out.
If something doesn’t feel quite right about your transaction, having a person experienced in the legalities surrounding the process is definitely a positive addition to your team. Some sellers may make special requests during the settlement period that you don’t actually have to adhere to, but without legal knowledge you wouldn’t take the risk of arguing.
Additional requests such as storing their own items in the garage of your new home or other tasks of that nature may make you a little uncomfortable, and it’s a good idea to have someone on hand equipped with the right knowledge about what you can and can’t say no to.
Sometimes, you may even need to back out of a transaction. This can be hard whether you’re the buyer or the seller, and most likely will not be taken well by the other party. Having a solicitor available to let you know whether you can make these decisions and how to go about is nothing but beneficial in such an important time.
We’ve discussed the pros and cons of both doing your conveyancing yourself and hiring a conveyancer or solicitor to do it for you. Hopefully, we’ve given you all the information you need to make your mind up!
We think that it’s in your best interest to hire a conveyancer or solicitor when selling your property. We’re all about making the process of selling your home easier and we think that that’s what using a professional will do for your conveyancing. While it can look like just another big expense to fill in some forms, it’s an essential part of the home selling process and a lot of what you’re paying for is expertise and experience – when it comes to huge financial transactions and the stressful nature of property sales, those things can be priceless!
If you do decide to use a conveyancer, there are a few ways to find one but one of the best is to ask your real estate agent. They work with lots of other real estate professionals day in, day out, so they’re well placed to recommend a conveyancer who’ll be able to help you. If you’re looking to sell, we can help you find top local agents in your area today!


text: As shown in recent researches, in a distribution system, ignoring routes when locating depots may overestimate the overall system cost. The Location Routing Problem (LRP) overcomes this drawback dealing simultaneously with location and routing decisions. This paper presents a memetic algorithm with population management (MA|PM) to solve the LRP with capacitated routes and depots. MA|PM is a very recent form of memetic algorithm in which the diversity of a small population of solutions is controlled by accepting a new solution if its distance to the population exceeds a given threshold. The method is evaluated on three sets of instances, and compared to other heuristics and a lower bound. The preliminary results are quite promising since the MA|PM already finds the best results on several instances.

We present a highly scalable assay for whole-genome methylation profiling of single cells. We use our approach, single-cell combinatorial indexing for methylation analysis (sci-MET), to produce 3,282 single-cell bisulfite sequencing libraries and achieve read alignment rates of 68 ± 8%. We apply sci-MET to discriminate the cellular identity of a mixture of three human cell lines and to identify excitatory and inhibitory neuronal populations from mouse cortical tissue.

Facebook will start using artificial intelligence to find and remove “extremist” content from the platform, according to an official blog post.
Facebook’s new technology includes “image matching,” which will be able to detect when someone uploads a previously flagged “propaganda video” or image, and “language understanding,” which will analyze written support and praise of terrorist organizations in an effort to further understand their communication.
The social network will also use technology to detect whether accounts have a large number of “friends” who have previously been flagged for extremism, and further systems to combat fake accounts. The clampdown effort will similarly take place on Facebook’s sister social networks: WhatsApp and Instagram.

A perfect way to use some of your leftovers from a Turkey roast or if you want to indulge swap out the leftovers for breast fillets.
Heat the oil in a large skillet and add in the chopped red and yellow capsicum. Cook on a medium heat for two minutes, then add in the garlic, ginger, lemongrass paste and cooked turkey. Stir gently for one minute, then add in the curry paste. Stir to coat the turkey and allow to heat through for one minute.
Add the coconut milk and stock and bring to a gentle bubble (but don’t let it boil). Let it simmer gently for 10 minutes, then stir through the brown sugar, fish sauce and lime juice. Taste and add more lime juice if required, then turn off the heat and sprinkle over the chopped cilantro. Serve immediately with boiled rice, lime wedges and extra coriander.

If you are interested in issues related to the education of Native Americans, this is a wonderful report that came out in December, one of the first of The Nation’s Report Card publications.
This report from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) presents results from the Trial Urban District Assessment (TUDA) in reading. Representative samples of fourth- and eighth-grade public school students from 21 urban districts participated in the 2011 assessment. Student performance is reported as average scale scores on the NAEP reading scale and as percentages of students who attained the achievement levels set by the National Assessment Governing Board. District results are compared to results for all students attending public schools in the nation and large cities (i.e., cities with populations of 250,000 or more) overall and by race/ethnicity and eligibility for free/reduced-price school lunch. In 2011, scores for both fourth- and eighth-graders in five districts were higher than the scores for students in large cities, and scores for both grades were lower in nine districts. Among the 18 districts that also participated in the 2009 assessment, there was no significant change from 2009 to 2011 in the scores for any of the districts at grade 4, and just one district scored higher at grade 8. Scores for students in the remaining districts did not change significantly from 2009 to 2011.
