Problem Or partner? Why Nigeria Matters To The U.S.
President Trump’s phone call to Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday signified the critical importance of the open and supportive relationship between our two countries. Nigeria is an important political and economic partner for the United States: it is the world’s fourth largest democracy, with a population of almost 200 million people; it runs a trade surplus and imports over $5.5 billion U.S.-originated goods per year; and is home to the Nollywood film industry, which has cultural and social influence across Africa. To forge a strong, new partnership, leaders from both countries should look holistically at how to improve Nigeria’s economic and security resiliency as well as maximize its enormous potential as a regional leader and long-term partner for the U.S.
In the call, the two presidents reportedly emphasized the importance of collaboration and partnership on security, governance and regional leadership. These three priorities are interrelated and are of critical importance to increased partnership between the two countries. Despite significant strides to address Boko Haram as a fighting force, violent extremism remains a major challenge in addition to other growing tensions between and among communities along social, ethnic, religious and economic lines.
However, the core Nigerian government policies and practices have been reactive rather than proactive in addressing vulnerability and violence. Weakness in the criminal justice system, poorly funded local government structures, corruption, and detached federal policies have eroded trust between communities and government, further diminishing the ability of government to mitigate tensions within and between communities. Dropping commodity prices and unprecedented and unpredictable inflation (18.55 percent in December 2016, up from 9.6 percent in January 2016) have underscored the shortcoming of social and economic policies, resulting in reactive responses to crises only as they explode or long after they have exploded.
The current failure by both the U.S. and Nigeria to prioritize the causes rather than the consequences of crises is bad for Nigerian and U.S. interests. Because of the urgent needs once crises have exploded, we have seen over reliance on the deployment of security forces, leading to tensions and potential flashpoints that undermine security.
In pockets of the country, large-scale violence has erupted. Decades-long agitations for resource control, development, and environmental maintenance continue to fuel militant attacks on oil and gas facilities in the Niger Delta region, which slashed oil production from 2.2 million to 1 million barrels per day in 2016, leading to lost billions of dollars in oil revenue for the country. Militancy in the Niger Delta gives rise to criminality and piracy in the Gulf of Guinea, where attacks on vessels and abduction of crew members disrupt interconnected shipping supply networks, not just for oil, but also for cocoa, metals, and other commodities destined for world markets. The recent rise in food insecurity, fueled by the inability to locally meet food demand, scarcity of foreign exchange, and double-digit inflation, has potential to stimulate protests and social unrest that the government has yet to prove they can handle.
A destabilized and crisis-ridden Nigeria has negative impacts for American businesses, international security, and the stability of the entire region. These crises already are expanding across Nigeria’s borders and into neighboring countries, demonstrating the ease with which Nigeria can export criminality and violence, as well as import it from its neighbors in crisis. As the U.S. pushes to eradicate ISIS and its affiliates, preventing violence from groups such as Boko Haram in Nigeria as well as the Lake Chad Basin are critical to this effort.
Yet the United States should not view Nigeria as a set of problems to be eradicated, but as an opportunity to invest and strengthen the ability of Nigeria to handle national and regional crises on its own. The U.S. must engage Nigeria as a partner and resource in the region through political, economic, development, and security cooperation. It should support Nigeria in strengthening detection and response to early warning signs, practical security reforms to improve response and community-trust, and respect and tolerance to religious freedom and ethnic diversity. Security cooperation between our two nations should focus on preventing violence at all levels, including through community-led security initiatives and investments in crisis management.
Nigeria is the trendsetter in West Africa and an important partner for the U.S. government and American businesses. Security, governance, and regional leadership are three areas where the U.S. and Nigeria must work together to address Nigeria as more than the sum of its parts. Together, our two countries need to progress our partnership beyond the reactive response to segmented crises to forge a holistic partnership that promotes the long-term growth and stability that is in our mutual interests.

Fluorescent low density lipoprotein for observation of dynamics of individual receptor complexes on cultured human fibroblasts.
The visible wavelength excited fluorophore 3,3'-dioctadecylindocarbocyanine iodide (Dil) was incorporated into human low density lipoprotein (LDL) to form the highly fluorescent LDL derivative dil(3)-LDL. Dil(3)-LDL binds to normal human fibroblasts and to human fibroblasts defective in LDL receptor internalization but does not bind to LDL receptor-negative human fibroblasts at 4 degrees C or 37 degrees C. It is internalized rapidly at 37 degrees C by normal fibroblasts and depresses the activity of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase (HMG-CoA reductase) in a manner similar to that of LDL. It is prevented from binding to the LDL receptor by an excess of unlabeled LDL or by heparin sulfate. Identical distributions of dil(3)-LDL are observed on cells by either indirect immunofluorescence with fluorescein-labeled antibody or directly by dil(3) fluorescence. Upwards of 45 molecules of dil(3) are incorporated per molecule of LDL without affecting binding to the receptor. This labeling renders individual molecules visible by their fluorescence and enables the derivative to be used in dynamic studies of LDL-receptor motion on living fibroblasts by standard fluorescence techniques at low LDL receptor density. Observations with this derivative indicate that the LDL-receptor complex is immobilized on the surface of human fibroblasts but, when free of this linkage, undergoes a Brownian motion consistent with theory.

Welcome parents of all the current or potential members of the Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity here at FAU! Here at the Phi Alpha chapter we strongly value parental involvement. We invite you to read some frequently asked questions about our values and missions stated just below!
What is Alpha Epsilon Pi?
Alpha Epsilon Pi is a male social fraternity founded with the mission of building the Jewish leaders of tomorrow. We are part of a thriving national fraternity that enhances the college experience both academically and socially. AEPi strives to be involved in all campus activities, community activities, and alumni activities.
A student can join the fraternity by first getting to know the members (a period called "rush" and then a period of new member education, commonly referred to as pledging.
The rush period is simply a few weeks where the fraternity hosts events that allow potential members to interact with current members and become familiar with the organization. Examples of events include dinners, sports nights, Shabbat dinners, and more. All events are alcohol free.
The pledge period is a program where new members learn more about the organization, meet all of the brothers, and get a feel for what it is like to be a full member. Examples of programs include retreats, event planning workshops, study sessions, and tours of the campus in relation to other Greek organizations.
What about hazing? Isn't that part of the pledge program?
There is absolutely no hazing in Alpha Epsilon Pi!! All programs in the pledge process are designed to familiarize the new member with the fraternity and build positive bonds. Hazing is absolutely prohibited and if at any time members feel uncomfortable they can call our national headquarters at 1-800-BAD-AEPi and speak to our national staff.
Does it involve financial obligations?
Yes, being in fraternity costs money. Much of these funds go to our national organization to support the many leadership initiatives, programming, and administrative costs including insurance.
The majority of the money stays with the local chapter and goes towards subsidizing programming and food. All money is budgeted before each term and the chapter reviews the allocations and votes on them before any money is spent. Chapter leadership also applies for many grants and scholarships to add to our funding without charging the brothers more money.
Why should my son join?
The answer to this question depends on the person, but in general being in a Greek organization enhances the college experience and continues providing a benefit long after graduation.
Judaism - Our chapter allows members to stay connected (or to connect for the first time) with their Jewish heritage and culture. All religious activities are optional and fun. We have members that are orthodox, conservative, reform, and secular. Our policy is to provide students with the opportunity to explore and enjoy their culture on their own terms. We host everything from rabbi lunch and learns to holiday dinners to fundraisers for Jewish charities.
Social interaction - Greek life offers the opportunity to meet hundreds of people from varying majors and ages that you would not normally meet.
Grades - The average Alpha Epsilon Pi member at FAU has a higher GPA than the all other IFC fraternities average. We provide tutors, study sessions, and time management workshops along with rewards for classroom achievement to help our members succeed academically.
Leadership - Alpha Epsilon Pi prides itself on bringing out the best in all of its members. Pledges and brothers set personal goals for themselves and are responsible for working towards these goals. Whether it is good grades, losing weight, or learning a new language we push our members to excel in every way. Our brothers learn to lead here and run many student organizations as a result of this experience.
Networking - Our vast alumni network allows for easier co-op placement and many job opportunities after college. No matter what your major we can help you get the job. We also host regular resume workshops and mock interview sessions to prepare our members for the world after college.
Life all about Parties and Drinking?
There are a lot of stereotypes about fraternities and Greek life in general. Alcohol, drugs, hazing and more are sensationalized in the media and in TV shows. This is not how it works at Alpha Epsilon Pi. We encourage anyone to contact our current Master Justin Gitterman at aepi.fau@gmail.com if you have any concerns about hazing, drugs or alcohol abuse, or grade disputes.

One of the best ways to support your health is by eating more vegetables. If you are one of those who cringe at the thought of “having” to eat more veggies, rest assured, it’s easier than you think. …and it’s more delicious than you may think. One of the reasons many people “hate” vegetables is that they have never had them prepared correctly. Most chain restaurants can’t even cook broccoli! Follow my instructions and you may find that you become a vegetable lover…um, that is, a lover of vegetables. Anyway, if you aren’t sure what vegetables to buy or if you will like any of them, find at least 2 vegetables that you DO know and like (corn and potatoes don’t count) and build up your vegetable tolerance from there.
1. Saute with butter and sea salt.
Everything – even mustard greens – tastes delicious with butter and sea salt. I use about a tablespoon of butter for every 2 cups of vegetables. Don’t even worry about your cholesterol: quality grass-fed butter will not clog your arteries. It’s the refined carbs that will. Back to the saute: add the butter, melt in a pan (I use a cast-iron skillet), add the greens and a small amount of sea salt to taste. Often I will also add in a spoonful of white wine or some garlic while the greens are cooking. Depending on the type of veggies, 5 – 15 minutes will usually suffice to make them tender and delicious. Some ideas of veggies to use: cabbage, broccoli, leafy greens (of any variety), asparagus, brussel sprouts, etc.
I like to use chopped kale in my scrambled eggs (with a little salsa and cheese on top), in my spaghetti sauce, and in a salad with other greens (topped with dressing and anything else). Kale has more health benefits than just plain lettuce.
Another easy one to add to anything: guacamole or chopped avocado and salsa or pico de gallo. I add it on top of my eggs; or mix it up together and use as a dip for organic corn chips; you can top your meat or fish dishes dishes with some salsa or guacamole too. The other day for lunch I had a microwaved burrito (I needed to go to the grocery store you see), but I topped it with avocado and pico and it was much more satisfying… and healthy!
In other cultures, adding pickled foods as a side dish is common. For example, in Korea they use kimchi (pickled vegetables and seasoning); in Germany you may get food with saurkraut (pickled cabbage); and in India you may get chutney as a food topping or meal accompaniment. In the US we have pickles. Personally, I LOVE pickles, but I do read the label and make sure they are made without high-fructose corn syrup or other nasties.
3. Use the left-overs before they go bad.
Many people complain that they buy vegetables, then don’t cook them, and they end up tossed out by the end of the week. No worries. Take the left-over veggies, chop them up, and put them into some broth. I store organic soup broth from Costco in my pantry for such occasions.
Or…chop up the veggies, cook them (see #1) or keep them raw, and place on top of some cooked quinoa (cheese is optional). Quinoa is a grain that is high in protein and you can buy at the health food store. You cook it like rice. Another good thing to keep in your pantry!
Support your local farmer’s markets! Austin-ites are so lucky to have so many different farmer’s market options. Use them and eat your veggies!

text: Disorders of semantic cognition in different neuropsychological conditions result from diverse areas of brain damage and may have different underlying causes. This study used a comparative case-series design to examine the hypothesis that relatively circumscribed bilateral atrophy of the anterior temporal lobe in semantic dementia (SD) produces a gradual degradation of core semantic representations, whilst a deficit of cognitive control produces multi-modal semantic impairment in a subset of patients with stroke aphasia following damage involving the left prefrontal cortex or regions in and around the temporoparietal area; this condition, which transcends traditional aphasia classifications, is referred to as 'semantic aphasia' (SA). There have been very few direct comparisons of these patient groups to date and these previous studies have focussed on verbal comprehension. This study used a battery of object-use tasks to extend this line of enquiry into the non-verbal domain for the first time. A group of seven SA patients were identified who failed both word and picture versions of a semantic association task. These patients were compared with eight SD cases. Both groups showed significant deficits in object use but these impairments were qualitatively different. Item familiarity correlated with performance on object-use tasks for the SD group, consistent with the view that core semantic representations are degrading in this condition. In contrast, the SA participants were insensitive to the familiarity of the objects. Further, while the SD patients performed consistently across tasks that tapped different aspects of knowledge and object use for the same items, the performance of the SA participants reflected the control requirements of the tasks. Single object use was relatively preserved in SA but performance on complex mechanical puzzles was substantially impaired. Similarly, the SA patients were able to complete straightforward item matching tasks, such as word-picture matching, but performed more poorly on associative picture-matching tasks, even when the tests involved the same items. The two groups of patients also showed a different pattern of errors in object use. SA patients made substantial numbers of erroneous intrusions in their demonstrations, such as inappropriate object movements. In contrast, response omissions were more common in SD. This study provides converging evidence for qualitatively different impairments of semantic cognition in SD and SA, and uniquely demonstrates this pattern in a non-verbal expressive domainobject use.

The first stop during our trip to Italy was the small town of Montorio al Vomano, located in the province of Teramo in the region of Abruzzo. With a population of approximately 8300, the town is surrounded by a river, mountains, but mostly built on hills and flatter land. I was struck by its beauty and medieval architecture and stunned by the fact that it houses the ruins of an ancient temple that was dedicated to Hercules. We have no such history in the United States.
Family brought us to this first stop of our Italian trip and on the first morning, Dominic and I sat on the piazza with our expressos watching the old Italian ladies dressed in headscarves and long dresses drag their shopping carts over the cobblestones while the young women pranced smartly dressed in the latest fashions.
As I watched the scene unfold, I felt a gentle pat on my thigh. I looked down and there was a small cat begging for a handout. I had nothing to give him, so instead, I stroked his natty-looking fur, and off he went looking for more lucrative donations.
My focus changed then, and as I looked around the piazza, I saw more cats, lolling in the sun or looking for dropped crumbs and generous souls. Then I noticed the dogs, the wanderers, clearly homeless, without collars, and all on a mission. None were interested in socializing, yet they all seemed harmless and fairly docile. I was surprised that they were of good weight, and then I saw why: outside the doors of many homes were little bowls of water, milk and food, mostly pasta.
While there are many kind-hearted people, there are also those who brutalize these poor creatures who mean no harm. Take this story of a stray meeting up with a dog on a leash with its owner. The stray just wanted to say hello to the other dog, but the owner kicked it in the face repeatedly. Fortunately, I did not see this or else I might have found my way into an Italian jail.
So why are these abandoned, homeless animals not in animal shelters? Italy has many animal shelters, most not run very well, which lends fodder to the argument that these animals may be better off on the streets?
So why am I making such a big deal about Montorio al Vomano, in the province of Teramo, in the region of Abruzzo? Don’t we have a similar plight for abandoned animals here in the United States?
For the most part, stray dogs are not wandering the streets of our cities and towns. Rather, they are locked away in animal shelters (hopefully well run), desperately waiting to be adopted, or the tear-jerking alternative. Should they be let out to wander the streets, hoping for handouts and the occasional pat on the mangy head?
Germany has an interesting alternative to the world-wide crisis of abandoned and unwanted animals. It has over 500 shelters, known for cleanliness and caring attention to pets, and all with a no-kill policy except for animals who become seriously ill. Dog owners are required to pay yearly taxes on their pets, the amount of which varies by town and number of dogs. The purpose of the tax is mainly to regulate the number of dogs in a household, thereby indirectly limiting the overall number of strays. There is no such tax on cats which lends to more stray felines than dogs.

A soldier tripped a landmine that set off a series of explosion on Sunday in Tolima province. The survivors then launched a counterattack against the rebel Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) militias. Four rebels died in the clash.
Tolima province, which neighbors the capital Bogota is a long-time rebel stronghold. FARC was established there in 1964.
Thousands of people are killed each year in the bloody civil conflict involving rebels and other militias, who financed themselves by exporting illegal drugs.

!Wars Without End -- Again!
Thanx for your invitation for me to speak to you today!
For millions of people (I among them) the Nov. 2006 elections marked a major turning point in U.S. politics -- or so we thought.
The elections had one, single motivation: to end the Iraq war.
Well, the elections changed majorities in Congress. But did it change U.S. policy?
Before the numbers of votes could all be counted, you heard the backtracking: "we must be cautious"; "if we leave now, there'd be chaos", etc., etc.
Now, Democrats say openly that no significant troop withdrawal can come before 2012- 5 more years!
And then, don't you think you'll hear an additional 5 or 10 years?
War isn't a Democratic or Republican project - it is a corporate one, where both corporate parties play the game laid down by their sponsors and contributors.
But, people, working through popular movements, can change how politicians think, speak, and even act.
If you put your trust in the same politicians, you'll achieve the same result - disappointment, frustration and yes -- betrayal.
What kind of democracy is it if you vote for peace, only to get more war?
But the answer isn't less protests -- it's more protests!
To finally bring peace, the People must bring it!

May is Asian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. We're celebrating all month long by showcasing our incredible Asian and Pacific Islander staff, members, and community.
Despite originating in different countries (India and China, respectably) and looking pretty different, yoga and tai chi actually have a lot in common. Yoga and tai chi are both ancient forms of exercise that focus on the alignment of mind and body and are both offered at the Y!
Experience friendship and the feeling of community in a YMCA Tai Chi class: 40 some members from the Coal Creek, Northshore, Bellevue, and University YMCA’s came together to practice Tai Chi and celebrate the Year of the Dog (some arranged carpools so that their classmates could attend too). Many brought red envelopes with donations for the Y’s Annual Fund Drive (red envelopes with money are traditionally given to kids from their parents, grandparents, etc. during holidays or special occasions, symbolizing good luck and to ward off evil spirits) and enjoyed each other’s company celebrating Lunar New Year.
The beginnings of Yoga were developed by the Indus-Sarasvati civilization in Northern India over 5,000 years ago. The word yoga was first mentioned in the oldest sacred texts, the Rig Veda. The Vedas were a collection of texts containing songs, mantras, and rituals to be used by Brahmans, the Vedic priests. The term Yoga (pronounced as "yōg") originates from the term “yuj" in Sanskrit, an Ancient language of India, meaning "to yolk or to unite". Yoga was slowly refined and developed by the Brahmans and Rishis (mystic seers) who documented their practices and beliefs in the Upanishads, a huge work containing over 200 scriptures. The most renowned of the Yogic scriptures is the Bhagavad-Gîtâ, composed around 500 B.C.E. The Upanishads took the idea of ritual sacrifice from the Vedas and internalized it, teaching the sacrifice of the ego through self-knowledge, action (karma yoga) and wisdom (jnana yoga).
Whether you're after a swimming pool, a yoga class, an afterschool program for your teen or child, or simply want to work out in a community-focused environment, the YMCA of Greater Seattle has got you covered.

Hello Kyle!! Please tell us something about yourself and a brief introduction about your band mates?
Hello. My name is Kyle Simpson. I’m 30 years old. I have been playing guitar since I was 13 years old. Metallica got me into playing guitar and playing metal. I’ve been playing music with the guys in Ensilenced since 2005 in one form or another. We originally started out playing together in a band called Cynical. Brian Lenard has always been the drummer and Douglas Hunter has always been one of the guitarists. Garin Hatch joined up as bass player about a year ago.
I actually met Douglas Hunter at a Drowning Pool concert in 2005. He was in the band Cynical with Brian Lenard and they were looking for a lead vocalist. They recruited me that night and we’ve been making music together on and off for the past 11 years.
What would be the main reasons behind forming a band? Fame or passion for music?
In all honesty, there was a time that I played music because I wanted to be cool. But now, I play music because it makes me happy. Writing and playing music sometimes feels like the reason I was born. I would play a show every night of the week if it was up to me, as long as I had enough money to eat, pay my bills, and get to the next gig.
This question is always the most difficult question for me. I am majorly influenced by old school thrash metal from the 80’s and 90’s but also a lot of metalcore that came out in the early 2000’s. We come out sounding like a mix between Metallica, Machine Head, Testament, and Killswitch Engage from what I’ve heard, all of which are great bands to me. My biggest influences of late are probably Metallica, the Devin Townsend Project, Alter Bridge, and Parkway Drive.
We are currently unsigned and operating without management. We do all of our booking, graphic design, merchandise purchasing, promotion, writing, recording, producing, mixing, and mastering. It’s a lot of work but it works for us. It’s really nice working at your own pace with no deadlines to meet.
Can you briefly describe the music making process?
For us, it all starts with the riff. One of us will bring a riff to the table. Then we starting playing the riff together and see where the song naturally evolves to from there. We try our best not to force anything. We feel like our best material is the material we don’t have to force. If we don’t like the way something is going, we take a time out and change it. It’s definitely a democracy with us where everyone has an equal say.
We always have a plan when we start rehearsing. We run through the setlist at least once and hammer out the songs that need the most work. Sometimes we will play a song over and over until it feels good. A lot of times some of our best songs are written in between songs during practice while tuning or adjusting sounds.
We’re all in our late 20’s/early 30’s. We have families and full-time jobs. The biggest challenge for all of us is coordinating schedules. With us, family comes first and we all treat each other like family, a band of brothers. For this reason we play when we can play. Here in our hometown, there’s not much of a following for metal. A good night for us in town is when 20-40 people show up for a gig. But we have gotten really lucky and played with some awesome bands. We opened for Gemini Syndrome and Trivium. Just goes to show that hard work really does pay off.
Future plannings in regards to the band?
As of right now, we are currently working on a full-length album. We are finishing polishing up a few of the songs, some of which have never been released. We hope to finish up by early fall of this year. From there, we will start playing and promoting the album as much as we can when we can. We’d also like to film a music video to coincide with the release of our album as well.

and if you like our Facebook page, you will be able to keep up with all of the new releases as well.
Few words for those who wants to form a band..
Before you dive right in, remember that a band is a lot of work. If you want to be any good at all, you have to constantly practice and challenge yourself. Never get complacent with where you are. There is always room for improvement. Our motto is Get it right! Get it tight! We are always trying to get things tighter and better sounding.
Few words for our readers..
The metal community is the greatest community in the world. We care about each other and we support each other. There’s a lot of love out there with all the metalheads. I could not ask for a better community to be a part of. The only thing I can say is Support the artists! That doesn’t necessarily mean us. I just mean support the artists that you love. The only way to keep the scene alive is to support the artists. Go to concerts. Buy T-shirts and CD’s and posters. If you want your favorite bands to keep making music, they need your help and your support. And most importantly, don’t forget about the local guys. Every big band started out as a local band somewhere. They started out playing for their girlfriends and the other bands and they would have never made it without support from their local friends and family.

Mindjammer has been a favourite of mine since before it came out in its current edition. I read the novel before I knew the game and loved it and now it is my go-to Science Fiction game.
And that is because Sarah Newton, as well as being a good friend, is for me the most talented writer and designer out there.
When Sarah carried out her rather successful Kickstarter campaign, one of the stretch goals was a conversion of the Mindjammer game into the Traveller system.
Since I am not an expert on Traveller, I was very curious to know how a game with a system as open as FATE could be converted to a system that is a lot more rules-heavy and relatively restrictive as Traveller.
And now you can find out too.

An Australian study in the Journal of Psychologists and Counsellors in Schools is the latest in a pile of evidence suggesting that, while parental involvement in education is generally helpful, parents don't always recognize when their involvement crosses the line into harmful "overparenting."
Researchers at Queensland University of Technology in Australia surveyed 866 parents from local independent schools on their parenting beliefs and their attitudes about their children's homework.
The most highly involved parents were no different from other parents in how much responsibility they expected their children to take in doing homework.
But they did take significantly more personal responsibility than other parents—and expect teachers to do the same—in making sure the homework was done. Those who scored high on overparenting continued to tightly supervise children into middle and high school—a point where researchers said intense parental supervision becomes developmentally inappropriate.

Naval officer who arrived with the First Fleet on HMS Sirius, who wrote detailed journals and letters documenting the journey and the establishment of the settlement, as well as accounts of Aboriginal people and their language.
A Cadigal man who became one of the first to interact with the Europeans, Colebee was a leading Aboriginal figure in Sydney Town in the early years of the colony. He was associated with the white-bellied sea eagle.
Used by Aboriginal people as a base for settlement, fishing, shellfish collection, art and associated rituals, South Head became the landmark of arrival at Sydney after European settlement. A lookout, signal station, lighthouse and fortifications were built there at different times, to keep ships from shipwreck and to protect the settlement. It is now a series of parks.
Known as Kutti to the Cadigal people, Watsons Bay became crucial to the early colony's maritime life, with the signal station, pilot station and lighthouses nearby. Fishing was important too. At the same time, grand houses, hotels and public buildings were built for the upper classes. From the mid-nineteenth century, regular ferry services brought tourists and day-trippers to Watsons Bay's tea rooms, hotels and tourist attractions.
A survivor of the smallpox of 1789, Nanbarry became an interpreter and intermediary between his people and the new arrivals, and later went to sea.
Carangarang, of the Wangal clan of the southern shore of the Parramatta River, was the wife of Corrangie and the best known of Bennelong's siblings. She was a presence in Sydney and Kissing Point until the late 1830s.

Peptomyc is a company focused on the development of a new generation of cell penetrating peptides (CPPs) targeting the Myc oncoprotein for cancer treatment. The company was founded in December 2014 and it is based on Dr. Soucek’s scientific research in Omomyc (the best direct Myc inhibitor known to date) over the last twenty years.
Currently, cancer incidence in the world exceeds 18 million cases per year and results in 9,5 million deaths annually. Moreover, such numbers are forecast to rise by 62% over the next 20 years (Globocan, International Agency for Research on Cancer 2018). At the moment, standard therapies include surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and, in a restricted subset of cancers, precision medicine. Unfortunately, very often these therapies fail, due to the development of resistance.
Peptomyc has adopted a different strategy based on the inhibition of the oncoprotein Myc, which is found deregulated in the majority of human cancers. Myc holds a non-redundant function in cancer around which tumors cannot evolve, hence targeting Myc is the most promising therapeutic opportunity to date. Although Myc plays a central role in cancer there is currently no Myc inhibitor in the market.

A healthy and active lifestyle is fundamental to a child achieving their full potential, physically and academically. Through high-quality PE and sport teaching, children learn to move in different ways; they develop strength, agility, flexibility and fitness as well as the skills, knowledge and understanding needed to take part in a range of different sporting activities.
Across EYFS and both Key Stages, children are taught the importance of warming up before activity and stretching afterwards. They learn how their bodies change through exercise. Children are taught through a sequence of learning which takes them from the building blocks of movement to the experience of playing small team games competitively as they progress through the school. They are taught the vocabulary needed to develop their understanding of each skill and sport and are expected to reflect on the skills they have learnt, comment on their own expertise and identify ways they can develop. Children are expected to work individually, in pairs, small groups and as a team at different points within a unit of work. This enables them to develop the teamwork and sporting behaviour necessary to succeed in sport in the classroom and in the wider world, regardless of their starting points.
Children are taught indoors, outdoors on the playground and field and off-site on occasions. Across the curriculum, children will be taught gymnastics, dance, games, athletics and outdoor and adventurous activities. We ensure that all children can swim 25 metres by the time they leave us.
Our children have access to the best possible teachers and coaches. Lessons are taught by the school’s PE team, professional sports coaches and children’s usual classroom teacher during the week. The curriculum is further enriched through whole school sporting events, such as sports day and enrichment days. The enrichment days planned for this year are yoga, kayaking and tennis. Children compete against themselves and others in areas of track and field taught in class. We ensure that children are inspired by professional sportsmen and women through assemblies and challenge days during the year.
It is the intention of the school to obtain the Sainsbury’s School Sports Bronze mark through this year’s activities.
Italicised indicates the unit is taught by a Premier Sport coach. Other units are taught by the class teacher.

In 2009, Harper earned his Master Sommelier Diploma, the highest distinction a professional can attain in fine wine and beverage service. Testing is focused on the areas needed for superior beverage department management, which include Tasting, Theory, Practical and Dining Room Application, and also encompasses spirits, beers, cigars as well as global wine knowledge. To become a Master Sommelier, a candidate must pass four levels of examinations: the Introductory Sommelier Course, the Certified Sommelier Exam, the Advanced Sommelier Course and finally, the Master Sommelier Diploma Exam. As it has one of the lowest pass rates of any exam in the world there are 214 people who share the title worldwide.
Harper also holds the title of Certified Wine Educator (CWE), which acknowledges an exceptional standard of both academic knowledge and sensory capability in the field of wine. This is the highest level of recognition of the Society of Wine Educators.

LTE, unlimited data, and tablets: Can German operators make 4G pay?
Germans know what LTE is, but many are reluctant to pay extra for it. Could 'all you can app' plans offer a solution?
Not too long ago, almost one in two German mobile users didn't even know what LTE was. But after substantial infrastructure investment , speed increases , and marketing by Germany's mobile carriers, the majority of users are now aware of the technology and would adopt it — even if they're not so keen on paying for it.
"Germans are not reluctant to take LTE, but they are quite reluctant compared to others to pay for it," said Klaus Böhm, Deloitte Consulting's director of technology, media, and telecommunications in Germany. Deloitte recently completed a study, which looked at mobile consumer behaviour of people in over 20 countries across the world, including Germany as well as the UK and France, Russia, and the US, among others.
Böhm says that German smartphone users are quite aware of LTE and its benefits, but that for many, the decision to adopt it simply comes down to cost.
The Alcatel One Touch Fire is now headed to Deutsche Telekom's Congstar brand.
"Germans are willing to use LTE, and the LTE infrastructure will be successful here in Germany, but the network operators will not be successful in upselling from 3G to LTE," Böhm said.
In fact, Germany was an early adopter of LTE — regulators in the country saw it as a great way to supplement limited broadband service in rural parts of the country, and carriers started rolling out the service for this purpose in late 2010. Because of these initial conditions of the early launch, "the uptake is going to be relatively slow, if you compare it to the initial rate of uptake in the UK, where it launched on a completely different basis," said Rosalind Craven, senior research analyst at IDC.
Indeed, mobile carriers began offering LTE-capable smartphones in 2012, which means that German mobile users haven't had all that much time to adopt the service — especially because Germans tend to be a bit slower to replace their old, non-LTE phones than mobile users in some other countries.
"There is a generalisation to be made that German consumers are a bit more prudent and cautious, and so the renewal cycle has been a bit slower than in other markets in Europe," Craven said.
However, prudence doesn't explain everything.
In fact, according to the recent Deloitte report, a majority of current LTE users in Germany are not actually paying extra for 4G, but were either grandfathered into it, or got the service through promotions or by negotiating with their mobile providers. Many German smartphone users, it seems, are not willing to pay extra for LTE — at least not yet.
In terms of current smartphone plan options in the country, the main selling point of LTE connectivity is of course increased speed compared to 3G. For example, for its 3G packages, Vodafone advertises speeds of up to 7.2Mbps, while its advertised speeds of LTE plans start at 21.6Mbps, at an added cost of €10 per month.
A main reason that smartphone users in Germany are less willing to pay the extra €10 (or more) for LTE packages may be the way in which mobile carriers introduced the technology. In other countries where LTE has been launched, mobile providers often created clean breaks between 3G plans and their LTE equivalents — in effect forcing customers to pay extra for the service if they wanted it — rather than adding it to existing contracts through promotions, as was done for many German smartphone users.
Or, it may be that many mobile users in Germany are simply satisfied with the speeds of the country's current 3G networks, and see no need for faster service, at least compared to users in other countries.
"The German operators have been quite aggressive in upgrading their 3G, so that the service is pretty good," IDC's Craven said. "In some other markets, operators have been sort of sluggish in upgrading to the latest 3G technologies that provide better speeds."
In any case, it probably won't be until the end of 2013 until a clear picture of LTE adoption rates in the country emerges. At that time, "I might expect Germany to be a little bit slower than some other markets, but I wouldn't be expecting a significant lag," she said.
Whether they're on 3G or LTE, many consumers across the globe want plans that offer unlimited data, but carriers are generally not willing — or are unable — to provide them.
This is a bit more complicated in Germany, where in the past, some mobile providers tended to market data plans as 'unlimited,' even though they would include caps where once users reached a certain threshold, their speeds were throttled, often substantially. This miscommunication might have left some mobile users in the country confused — or even unsatisfied — as the carriers stopped branding these plans as 'unlimited'.
Indeed, in the recent Deloitte report, over 40 percent of respondents who had data plans had no idea of how much data they could actually use per month, and because of this, many said they are cautious about their data usage.
The Surface 2 and Lumia 2520 need to prove there is really a Windows RT tablet market big enough for both Microsoft and Nokia to play in.
One way that carriers could meet a demand for more data — in Germany and in other countries — would be by selling plans that offer unlimited data for specific usages or applications. As an example, last year, Deutsche Telekom partnered with Spotify to offer a plan that included unlimited data specifically for music streaming through the app. Notably, this service is exempt from any data caps.
Similar offerings, where users could have unlimited data for apps that they use a lot, could be bundled into mobile contracts and successfully sold at a premium — although whether this kind of arrangement will hold up against evolving network neutrality laws will remain to be seen.
In any case, "there's a huge potential here on the German market," Deloitte's Böhm said of what he called "all-you-can-app" plans.
But where are the tablets?
In general, smartphone adoption in Germany has lagged behind other countries, but "the gap is closing," according to IDC's Craven.
"It's not that Germans are refusing to adopt smartphones, they're just a bit slower in converting."
The same might be said for the country's tablet adoption rate, which is again somewhat lower than other countries like the US and the UK. "We see tablet penetration here in Germany on a much lower level," Deloitte's Böhm said, because German consumers see tablets as complementary to other devices, like smartphones and PCs, rather than a replacement for them.
"Tablets are a very healthy, niche market [in Germany], but they will never see the massive sales as in other markets," he said.

In an era when “traveling has become as natural as breathing,” as a spokesman for Ebel recently put it, watches that keep track of time both for home and destination have become useful accessories.
Traveler’s watches have two or more time displays, usually on the dial. They’re more popular than ever, and more brands are adding them. Van Cleef & Arpels, for example, added its dual-time-zone Monsieur Arpels Réveil GMT, while Montblanc has expanded its avant-garde TimeWalker collection with its TimeWalker GMT Automatic, whose second time zone is a 24-hour ring on the dial rim. Others include upscale Daniel Mink’s automatic 41 mm Levantis GMT, also with a 24-hour outer ring, and red “hand” indicator, and Ebel’s automatic Sportwave GMT (normally a quartz line). Its inside 24-hour ring, with alternating white and orange numerals, circles a world map dial.
Display of time zones comes in fascinating variety: two atop each other, as in Tissot’s art-deco “banana” case Classic Prince; as subdials, like Patek Philippe’s gold hand-wound Calatrava Travel Time watch with a 24-hour subdial at 12 o’clock; and as analog/digital displays, like Breiting’s Aerospace Advantage and Tissot’s Navigator 2000, with multi time zones and 150 countries. Many have rotating dial rings, like Accutron’s stainless-steel Excursion (which also has a 12-hour dial at 6 o’clock). Global-time-zone rings also abound, usually marked by their main cities (with an indicator “hand”) encircling the dial, inside the bezel, or on the bezel, like Longines’s men’s automatic 38.5 mm Master Collection GMT, with the 24 zones on an internal rotating disc that shows each zone’s major city, indicated by a third hand.
German luxury watchmaker A. Lange & Söhne premiered its hand-wound 18k Lange 1 Time Zone. It has an unusual dial configuration of two time-zone subdials—one large for “home” with a seconds subdial and day/night indicator in it, and a smaller one, for a second time zone—and an outer dial ring with major cities of the world’s 24 time zones. It uses Lange’s own movement, whose time-zone mechanism alone has 67 hand-finished parts, including an adjustment and correction mechanism (and push piece at 8 o’clock) for zone time and city ring.
Carl F. Bucherer’s steel automatic 46.5 mm Patravi TravelTec is a three-time-zone GMT chronograph, and uses its exclusive CFB 1901 movement. The third-time-zone display uses a new single push-button mechanism by Bucherer (patent pending).
Raymond Weil’s Don Giovanni Così Grande Two Zones, with transparent back, uses a new mechanical movement, with two time zones atop each other, one for 24 hours, the other with 12-hour display.
Omega’s Speedmaster Broad Arrow XL Co-Axial Chronometer GMT is the first Speedmaster with Omega’s exclusive coaxial escapement.
Pippo Italia’s innovative Lifetime collection features three enamel dials in one case, using one automatic and two quartz movements, all Swiss made. There are several options for cover, dial, and case treatments, from diamond stripes to turquoise, plus interchangeable straps.
Hamilton’s 38 mm Navy Khaki GMT has a second time display to the right of 9 o’clock, and a third, with world cities, to the left, next to a second crown.
Façonnable’s steel oversize Hydra 3 World, with carbon-fiber bracelet, has three time zones—the main one and two smaller ones at 6 and 12 o’clock. All have luminescent hands. Time on the small faces each can be set without removing the watch.

To commemorate the 60th anniversary of the end of World War II, Oris has issued an automatic 42 mm version of its Big Crown Flight Timer pilot’s watch, combining its world-timer movement with a second-time-zone display at 3 o’clock, and a third (with its own crown at 2 o’clock) on a rotating rim ring (1,945). Luxury brand Blancpain marks its own 270th anniversary with an automatic GMT with a second time zone (a 24-hour counter) at 9 o’clock, also linked to an alarm.

Why is my survey telling people their answer is wrong before they even enter it?
but the phrase "dies ist eine ungultige Antwort" (this is an invalid answer) is below the field before the people fill in, and even after when an email is entereed correct. try it and you will see.
How can I stop my survey from scaring people away with the invalid answer statement?
At the moment, this message will display if a value has not been specified in the 'constraint message' column of the XLSForm prior to publishing.
Fantastic - glad to know there is a workaround. Thank you so much.

Tight end Allen Reisner, 25, played in five games for Jacksonville last season and finished with five catches for 40 yards. He was also with the Vikings during the 2011 and 2012 seasons.
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — In the second week of their offseason program, the Minnesota Vikings added two players to their roster on Tuesday.
Minnesota announced it has signed tight end Allen Reisner, who was with the team in 2011 and 2012 as an undrafted free agent out of Iowa before playing parts of the past two seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Later, the Vikings were awarded linebacker Terrell Manning off waivers from the San Diego Chargers.
Reisner, 25, played in five games for Jacksonville last season and finished with five catches for 40 yards. He started the season’s first three games and played in two more before a knee injury forced him to the injured reserve with a designation to return. Reisner managed to return, but didn’t play in another game.
He played in six games for the Vikings as a rookie in 2011 with one catch for five yards. He had one catch for 13 yards in four games with Minnesota in 2012 before being released and signing with the Jaguars.
Manning, 23, was originally a fifth-round draft pick by the Green Bay Packers in 2012 out of North Carolina State. He played in five games for Green Bay as a rookie and one last season for San Diego. He has three career tackles.
Manning played at North Carolina State with Vikings linebacker Audie Cole.
Samuda injured in workouts: Offensive lineman Josh Samuda, signed in January by Minnesota, was injured while working out with teammates in conditioning drills at the Vikings’ facilities on Tuesday. Players are at the facility for voluntary workouts in the first phase of the offseason program.
Samuda, 25, fractured his fibula and has possible ligament damage, a source told FoxSportsNorth.com. Samuda is scheduled to have surgery on Wednesday.
Samuda (6-foot-3, 315 pounds) was active for all 16 games as a rookie with the Miami Dolphins in 2012.

Make a Feather Headband Thanksgiving Craft to celebrate the holiday in style!
As any mama of boys knows, boys play differently, act differently, and are just plain different than girls.
When I brought up Thanksgiving with my tween-age sons, we launched into a discussion about Native Americans and Pilgrims. Naturally, their boy brains went straight to arrows and bows.
While I put a firm foot down on no weapons at the Thanksgiving table, feather headbands were a friendly alternative. In under 10-minutes your kids can whip up their own Thanksgiving feathered headband that lends itself to a great story about the First Thanksgiving.
Fold the brown piece of paper lengthwise into thirds. Cut along the folded lines to make strips for the band.
Tape the strips together to fit the circumference of your child’s head.
Draw and cut out three or more feathers from the heavy card stock/construction paper. Hint: We like to use scrapbook paper that comes in the large packs, because it is thicker than construction paper, but not as tough as card stock for little hands to cut.
To add texture, make shallow cuts along the edges of the feathers and gently bend them toward the front and the back.
Glue the feathers to the back inside of the band.
Feel free to decorate the band with designs, a Happy Thanksgiving message, or your child’s name.
Share your Thanksgiving Feather Headband with us by posting a picture below or tagging us on Instagram @MamaTeaches.

The Moray Youth Pipes and Drums Tuition Scheme is the first step in a project to introduce free tuition on the Pipes and Drums to youngsters between 8 & 11 years old living in Moray. It has been running now since October last year and after 12 weeks of tuition, there are currently 15 well established youngsters learning to play the drums and 18 learning to play the pipes.
The classes take place on a Sunday evening between 6 and 7 pm in the Forres Town Hall. The youngsters are divided in to two classes of 30 minutes each for both instruments and there is provision for two instructors for each instrument however they will soon be one drumming instructor short.
They are therefore looking for a replacement drumming tutor for this worthy project and are able to pay a suitable candidate £20 per hour which will be settled every 4 weeks.
This is a really good project and hopefully there will be some interest to keep the momentum going!

This adventure starts with the Hero's of the Dragon House, coming back from a night of partying. On the way home from the local bar or maybe the Bordello. They came upon a group of thugs beating the crap out of some guy. When the Hero's came to this they were told to bug off, but like the hero's they are they did not go away but tried to save the day. Zardoz cast sleep but it was not very effective so Motard, Ludaius, and Seth killed all of them but the one that ran away. Seth followed him for a time to learn where he was going to go. On the person that was killed by the thugs was a silver dagger. It was a nice weapon so the Hero's took it so Zardoz could look in to what it really was.
The next morning at breakfast Ludaius never showed up, so Motard went up to the room to see if he was not there, and after checking the main level Mortard went to the outside guard. The guard reported that after we all turned in last night, Ludaius went out. Motard decided that Ludaius is a big boy and can take care of himself, so if he is not back at dinner we will go looking for him.
Now it was time to take care of the business that needed to be done on this day. Motard was going to find a thief that he can hire to help the group, and Zardoz needing to find more hirlings. While out looking for some one to hire Motard got a really bad feeling was about to happen, and when he turned around there was a man coming at him with a sword in one hand a dagger in the other shooting give me the dagger. suffering from a hangover it took longer for Motard to kill this thief. after the battle was over the guards had come but the locals told of how Motard did what he did to protect his life. The guards were ok with the death of this thief because they were trying to find him so they could kill him. So the guards told the story of one Ikthanabu Xal a mage that died about 60 years ago.
Zardoz had people to hire so he spent is day send out messages to the city guards, and some other people. He also got the Names of Talos the brute, and Gray Eyes the hunter/tracker. Zardoz was able to get some help and set up interviews for other jobs. then it was time to go home for dinner.
There was no Ludaius, so now Motard and Zordoz where starting to get uneasy. While Zardoz went to meet Gray Eyes, Motard tried to track Ludaius. Gray Eyes agreed to help find Ludaius, and Mortad was able to track Ludaius was able to track Ludaius to The Square of the Green Peacock. They got this information to Gray Eyes and then went home to wait. In the morning we got a runner that Gray Eyes want to talk with us. In this meeting he was pissed and want to know why we did not tell him that Ludaius was a spell caster. While he is not a spell caster, but Gray Eyes had lost five men and was not able to get Ludaius so he gave us our money back, but Zardoz give one third of it back because he was able to find Ludaius. Gray Eyes gave us one of him men that knew how to get to Ludaius. so we got our crap, Zardoz meet with Talos and hired him, then we went to find Ludaius.
At the Shrine of the Keepers, is where Ludaius is to be found. Going down it to the Catacombs they group runs in to four ghouls. The man from Grays Eyes got spooked because the ghouls were his mates, but the rest of the group cut them down rather fast. Zardoz get after the guild for being a little girl, and then they moved on. They came to an open where the guild said "This is where Ludaius is but I am not going in there again." We told him that if he did not go in with us, he would be left out here by himself. After Motard said he would go in first the guild said he would come in with us. There were two more ghouls in the room, and as Motard moved in to kill them, the ghouls hit Motard and he was not able to move any more. After the battle the Hero's heard the voice of Ludaius. "Let me pass in Peace." letting him out the group asked where he was going "That is only my business." While you are our friend and you have traveled with us so it is our business. After Ludaius did not responed to the group like he was part of it, the group know it was not him and asked who he was? "I am Ikthanabu Xul" the group asked if he needed Ludaius's body or if any body would work. in short any body would work so they took the guild and allowed Ikthanabu Xul to take it over and free Ludaius.

Watershed Epic : The Watershed - Where is it?
This is a story, which will unfold along a random sort of line, formed by the many forces of nature. The movement of continents, and heaving of the earth`s crust, volcano and fire, the vast weight and grinding power of ice a mile thick, and the surge or tickle of water over many millennia established the current shape of this land called Scotland. The route is defined, not by convenience, but by nature alone.
But if nature created it, man has put his mark on it, and this will be as much a part of the story as geography and a description of the landscape through which the Watershed passes. The rolling border hills with their patchwork of commercial forest and sheep country, through Lanarkshire and the more industrial character of the central belt, the Watershed eventually gives way to more mountainous terrain. The Trossachs provide a splendid introit to the litany of great crags and bens, which run up through Perthshire and the Highlands. Sometimes the route is well inland, but for much of the way it hugs close to the West Coast and some of the remotest places in the land. Finally, it swings east though, through the `flow country` of Caithness and finishes within sight of Orkney.
This is important, because the definition of the Watershed has been taken from Groome`s ` Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland` 1886, and starts (or finishes) at Duncansby Head. Thus everything on the one side of the Watershed line empties into the Atlantic Ocean, including the relatively short stretch along the north coast. And every bog, burn or river on the other side eventually pours its contents into the North Sea.
So the location of the Watershed has been created entirely by natural forces, and the route has been defined by reference to Groome. Everything else about the journey along it will be determined by a variety of less certain factors. Thoroughness in planning the walk, physical fitness, the weather, rendezvous arrangements, navigation, and the quality of equipment will all contribute the success of the venture. Support from friends, family and colleagues will all play a part, and the ability to fit each section round work commitments will be critical.
Beyond all of that, what is certain is that the walk will take in some magnificent country and provide memorable experiences. The appearance of a `brokken spectre` on day one just before the start on Peel Fell came as a token of good fortune for all that lies ahead.
There will be days of splendid solitude, and moments of struggle with a full pack. The joy of meeting up with friends who will provide logistical support along the way will be milestones in an otherwise solo venture. The weather and all of the other variables may conspire at times to weaken my resolve, but the Watershed itself with all of its vistas and variety, richness and reward, will hopefully give all of the inspiration required.
This website will provide a log of the unfolding story over the next eight months or so. It will be updated on a monthly basis.
