Well, I did it again!! I fell down on my duty as communicator. I owe you all an apology for my lack of communication this year. I’ve got all kinds of excuses: my mares, first and foremost, but then the weather, and events at the farm, and my attitude and laziness about getting around to communicating something, etc., etc., etc. But, I am The Barking Shark and should have some privileges (as well as to be allowed to make excuses)!!
However, although I haven’t communicated anything, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking and observing and recollecting. So, I’m on my soapbox again. I don’t get on it too often any more. (It’s too hard to get up and down!) But, when I do, I have a message to convey and a purpose for doing so.
Many of you won’t identify with what I’m trying to say, which is unfortunate, because it’s a BIG message from us, the horses with whom you deal, whether on an occasional or daily basis. We’re really pretty silent about our feelings, hurts and objections, but there are times when we express our feelings that need to be recognized, acknowledged and heeded. As I’ve said before, all too often you “discipline/punish” us unreasonably for something. Either you haven’t explained what you want adequately for US to understand, or we have a physical or emotional problem dealing with it, which YOU don’t understand. We really do try to express ourselves, but there aren’t enough of you people out there who want to listen to us and our reasonable objections and complaints.
So, now I’m retired and enjoying my two mares, but there are others out there like me, who need retirement and protection from further injuries. They may be trying to get the message across in our own way of expressing things, but you people may not understand what we’re trying to say, or worse yet, you may not care. If we’re not cooperative, there’s usually a good reason for it. If we refuse, we usually have a reason. If we’re overly fractious, we usually are trying to tell you something. Just try to listen to what we’re saying. A happy and pain free horse is almost always willing to try to comply with the requests of the rider whether on the track, eventing or on the trails, or any other discipline. A horse who has physical or mental problems will often object. Please read our signs!! We’re really eager to please, but if you ignore what we’re trying to tell you, we have to protect ourselves. You’d do the same!!
Don’t get me wrong. I know there are those of us equines who are just plain obstinate about doing something when asked. I’m not defending them, if they don’t have a physical or emotional excuse for their attitude. They do need to be brought into line. But for the most part we’re really pretty cooperative IF we know what you’re asking us to do. We’re really lovers, not fighters, given the right treatment.
But I’m getting off my important message and drift.
There are LOTS of us, like you humans, who have physical problems. Some are worse than others. Some of us deal with our aches and pains better than others, just like you people do. Most of us learn to cope. We have a natural survival instinct that allows us to protect ourselves and recognize our innate abilities and our weaknesses when they arise.
Some of us have problems that you people would like to “fix”. However, sometimes the “fix” is more life threatening than leaving things alone, if we’re coping with them okay. Why do you people think that you always have to “fix” something? If it’s working and we’re dealing with it comfortably, don’t introduce a complication! There are a lot of people who walk with a limp or use a cane or walker. Unfortunately we don’t have the option of using a cane or walker, but many of us get around fine with a limp. If it becomes more serious or life threatening, then you can go for more aggressive treatment, but don’t always feel that you have to “fix” us because we’re not perfect. If we’re coping adequately, leave us alone on that level. It’s kind of like you humans. If an elderly person has a problem, do you go for surgery or try to remedy/cope with the problem without the surgery due to the risk factor? Usually you wait. So why don’t you people try to read our signs and understand what we’re trying to tell you? We really do express ourselves quite clearly if you’d only observe and listen.
These are only my opinions from “The Barking Shark”, but as a voice of authority, I hope you’ll hearken up. I’m only looking out for my brethren and trying to get a common ground for understanding our expressions of pain, fear or other problems. I’d like to think that we’re all on the same page.
Take good care, and good care of us. If you think treatment of us for something is necessary, think it through completely. What are the possible consequences? What can go wrong? Is it necessary to make us feel better, or will it make you people feel better for doing it? Does it really need to be “fixed”? Think of your old saying, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!” Sometimes it is best to leave well enough alone.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying to not treat an emergency or life-threatening situation. By all means call the vet, but make sure you understand what the vet is doing and that the vet has considered the options and consequences too. Don’t be too quick to euthanize us, if it’s a curable problem and if we show the will to live. Some of us do, and some of us don’t tolerate pain or discomfort well. There again, that’s when you have to understand what we’re trying to tell you. My suggestion is, when in doubt be conservative, if it’s not life-threatening. There’s tomorrow to make the final decision, but euthanasia has become all too popular, and it’s VERY final. You can’t change your mind after the injection is given. Also, if you choose to euthanize one of us, please do it humanely. Let the vet give us that extra bit of sedation before the lethal injection. It costs a few dollars more, but aren’t we worth that? I should hope so!!!!
Now, on a happier note, I have to go tend to my mares. They don’t like it when I ignore them for any length of time. But, before I step down off my soapbox, I want to wish you all a VERY HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON. Please be sure to stock up on carrots, cookies, apples and peppermints for us horses for the Holidays too.

The surgeons of Cheltenham Colorectal Group are committed to ensuring that all patients can acces Private Surgical care with the minimum of fuss and difficulty. There are two main ways for patients to be seen privately.
SELF PAY and FIXED PRICE DEALS - Patients without private medical insurance can be seen and undergo any investigation or treatment available to insured patients. Each episode of care (for example the initial consultation, a day case investigation or an in-patient operation) is treated as a separate event and fees charged separately for each; patients do not have to continue with private care beyond the consultation or invesigations if they do not wish to and patients can be referred for further care under the NHS at any time. For day patient and in-patient investigations and treatment, FIXED PRICE DEALS are often possible which guarantee against unexpected events or prolonged stays in hopsital. Please use the links at the bottom to download details of the SELF PAY & FPD arrangements and the basis of FEES.
PRIVATE MEDICAL INSURANCE - There are a range of Private Medical Insurers and Providential Associations (such as BUPA and WPA) who support clients or members with cover for re-imbursement of their private medical expenses. In most circumstances the surgeons of Cheltenham Colorectal Group are recognised by the major insurers and associations and the fee scale is tailored to try to ensure that patient's medical fee expenses are covered by their insurance policies. Most fees are based on the current published scale of fees recommended by the Western Provident Association (WPA) or BUPA. Details of individual fee schedules are given below and in the downloadable FEES leaflet.
Patients with medical insurance / friendly society cover.
Mr Borley is a registered BUPA Consultant Partner and charges are made in accordance with the current BUPA re-imbursement level for Consultant Partners. For cover under WPA, AXA-PPP, AVIVA or PruHealth plans, the standard scale of fees published by the insurer is used. Most invoices are made directly to the insurance company or friendly society. The invoice of any policy excess will be made to you personally when we have been informed of this by the insurance company.
Patients without medical insurance cover.
The BUPA / WPA scales of fees are used to determine charges for investigations and treatment.
These fees apply to consultations regardless of length. This is to ensure that there is no pressure on time during consultations due to cost.
All charges are made according to a scale based on the BUPA scale of fees.
These fees are correct as of 01/04/14 but may change in line with changes in recognised insurance scales of remuneration.
For details of the conditions of contract of private medical care a good description can be found on the Federation of Independent Practitioner Oreganisations (FIPO). Links to Medical Insurer and Provident Associatrion webistes are included below.

There was a lot to like about the Nokia Lumia 800 Windows mobile phone. The physical shape and weight were very comfortable, and I thought the inclusion of the rubber form-fitting case was a nice touch. I actually wouldn’t use the phone without it as it doesn’t take away from the look and does add grip to the daily use.
At 800 x 480 pixels, the 3.7” screen is certainly not the highest resolution, but being AMOLED what was on the screen was easily readable. The Gorilla Glass added further confidence in the robustness of the display.
We also liked the layout of the buttons – all on the right hand side and intuitive once used a few times. The magnetic cover for the charging and connecting port seemed to be a little finicky, but the cover added to the overall design. The use of Micro SIM might make it easy for iPhone users to switch over without the need for a new SIM card. Perhaps that was one consideration when building this phone’s hardware specs.
The Nokia Lumia 800 Windows Mobile Phone is a strong example of where Microsoft is headed with Windows this year in the mobile and smartphone category.
Instead of widgets, each tile has a dynamic status attached and will display social updates, unopened or unanswered communication, and other software/hardware statuses like Wi-Fi.
Complete customisation can be achieved and would be the key to a successful home screen on the Nokia Lumia 800 Windows mobile phone. All apps can be pinned to the home screen and arranged in whatever order you need them in.
One of the biggest hooks for users will be the People Hub. This is where it all comes together and makes your phone the social aggregator of all your networking tendrils, helping to group people according to their relationship with you and displaying updated feeds for each group that you create.
Microsoft’s search engine Bing will be ramped up further by its inclusion in the Windows OS. They’ve made it easy to access from the lock screen and different methods of search are instantly available: voice, text or music snippets. Barcodes and QR codes can also be read using the Bing search.
It was refreshing to use this Nokia Lumia 800 Windows mobile phone. The responsiveness of the OS and the absolute ease of use, along with the social focus, put this phone and the Windows Phone OS in high regard over here.
It’s by no means perfect yet, and after using it on a daily basis for a short period, there were a few characteristics we found that hopefully will be refined with updates down the track. Being an evolutionary product by nature, the OS is sure to improve over time and with user feedback.
There aren’t any native shortcuts for regularly used settings, like a Bluetooth or Wi-Fi toggle switch. I did find an app on the Microsoft Marketplace though,which was free and seems to work quite well. There also doesn’t seem to be support for a simple thing such as a screenshot at the moment, which I find myself using all the time.
One of the most noticeable omissions right now is the lack of a function to convert your phone into a personal hotspot so you can connect other internet devices. And Flash has not been deployed on the mobile browser either, although not a huge issue with HMTL5 taking over and the world of plug-ins fading fast.
Over the air updates aren’t active on Nokia Lumia 800 Windows mobile phone yet, either. There is actually an alert that comes to you over the air, but that is only a notice for you to install and use the Zune software on a PC to apply any OS update. Given both Android and iOS both apply updates OTA, this takes a point away from Windows.
These aren’t hardware restrictions, and could all be addressed through system updates. Given that these features would probably be expected on a decent smartphone in 2012, I’m keen to see how quickly Nokia and Microsoft address these omissions.
As a first iteration, it’s the strongest Windows Smartphone offering yet. The focus on the relationship-based groups and social network integration is extremely compelling, and the intuitive and well-designed mobile environment makes it a true competitor in the battle of the ecosystems this year.
Apple and Android, meet your match. Microsoft might be a little late to the party, but they’ve bought a big bag of goodies along to make friends.
How entrenched are you in the ecosystem you currently use? Is the feature set of this Windows Phone convincing enough to move you across? Let us know your thoughts in the comments area below.
I’m thinking of taking the plunge on a smartphone/android for the first time. I don’t need bells and whistles at this stage but will down the track.
Which phone do you recommend at this pointg in time?
Well we’ve just tried the Sony Experia S and the new HTC One X is on its way as well, so I’ll have a closer at those before I make my recommendation. Make sure you come back to see our thoughts on both.
Hey I have just bought the lumia 800 and so far so good but I am puzzled by what looks like a front facing camera or a led light but its not either so I want to know what is it ?

5A World Champion of 2003 Signature YoYo!
The Barracuda is surprisingly light for its size.
The inverse round H-profile keeps the string away from the body during play, and the stepped surface has a very imposing look to it, but when you throw the Barracuda you'll be surprised at how light it feels and despite its stability, how responsive it is to your commands. Even amongst the excellent Screaming Eagle yo-yos, the Barracuda is particularly great for long combos.
Duncan releases a lot of interesting yo-yos, but the Barracuda takes the cake for looks and practical use. Just ask the players who have used it to win international and world titles already.

Players from 20 KHL teams will line up in Russia for their respective national teams for the second stage of the Euro Hockey Tour.
After the first Euro Hockey Tour stage in Finland – won by an inspired Team Russia – international hockey is back as this time the top four European national teams will clash in Russia. Most of the games will be played at the CSKA Arena in Moscow, except for the very first game of the tournament between Finland and Czech Republic, scheduled in Tampere, and the Sunday game between Russia and Finland again, to be played at the Stadium St. Petersburg.
Milos Riha decided to call to the Russian stage of the Euro Hockey Tour ten KHL representatives – the same number of players called up for the November tournament – with some exciting changes. This time, the prime candidate for the starting goaltender position won’t be Avtomobilist’s Jakub Kovar, but Severstal’s Dominik Furch, who’s having a strong season despite the team’s low spot in the standings. Adam Polasek is having a tremendous season in Nizhnekamsk, and he finally made the squad, even if only as a substitute after an injury. If the roster changed if compared to Finland, goals, and points are still expected from Ak Bars’ Jiri Sekac and Spartak’s Robin Hanzl. It will be interesting to check how Metallurg’s newcomer Michal Bulir will play. He had a decent start in Magnitogorsk, and a good tournament can get the ball rolling for him and add him confidence. As usual, the Czechs don’t look like the team to beat, but playing with them will not be a walk in the park.
KHL representatives: Lars Johansson (CSKA Moscow), Klas Dahlback (CSKA Moscow), Philip Holm (Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod), John Norman (Jokerit Helsinki).
Rikard Gronborg decided to call up a younger roster, with an average age of only 25, and a mere four KHL representatives. The Tre Kronor confirmed Lars Johansson to backstop the team, but left Magnus Hellberg home, substituting him with Djurgarden’s Adam Reideborn, who never played with the senior national team. Philip Holm and John Norman already played in Finland, while CSKA’s blueliner Klas Dahlback will play for Team Sweden for the first time since the 2011-2012 season. It’s hard to predict what kind of performance to forecast from the Swedes, as they may lack a bit of experience to reasonably contend for the gold medal, considering the other team’s rosters. However, the talent is there, and surprises are always to be expected.
KHL representatives: Joni Ortio (Vityaz Podolsk), Juuso Hietanen (HC Dynamo Moscow), Jyrki Jokipakka (HC Sochi), Petri Kontiola (Lokomotiv Yaroslavl), Henri Ikonen (Jokerit Helsinki), Juuso Puustinen (Neftekhimik Nizhnekamsk), Jukka Peltola (Sibir Novosibirsk).
As this is not the home stage, Finland decided to get younger, and called only seven players from the KHL, with the notable omission of Kristian Vesalainen, who may be busy with the junior national team in sight of the upcoming World Junior Championship. Among the players who will debut for the Lions, there is Jokerit’s forward Henri Ikonen. The Finns will bring Russia an impressive roster, the rotation of players confirms the good depth the Lions currently have in their system. Juha Metsola didn’t look too bright at the Karjala Cup, but Vityaz’s Joni Ortio should be more than capable of substituting him. There is little doubt that Team Finland will not want to be a spectator in Russia and they will fight hard to revenge after the Karjala Cup defeat.
KHL representatives: Ilya Sorokin, Nikita Nesterov, Artyom Blazhiyevsky, Mikhail Naumenkov, Mikhail Grigorenko, Maxim Shalunov, Kirill Kaprizov, Ivan Telegin, Sergei Andronov, Anton Slepyshev (all CSKA Moscow), Alexei Vasilevsky (Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg), Igor Shestyorkin, Vladislav Gavrikov, Vasily Tokranov, Pavel Datsyuk, Nikita Gusev, Nikolai Prokhorkin, Alexander Barabanov, Sergei Plotnikov, Ilya Kablukov, Evgeny Ketov, Andrei Kuzmenko (all SKA St. Petersburg), Viktor Antipin (Metallurg), Andrey Pedan (Ak Bars Kazan), Alexander Yelesin, Andrei Loktionov (both Lokomotiv Yaroslavl), Alexander Kadeikin, Anton Burdasov (both Salavat Yulaev Ufa).
Team Russia’s head coach Ilya Vorobyov decided to go with the most familiar faces for the national stage of the Euro Hockey Tour and called up 21 players from CSKA and SKA. Differently from the Karjala Cup roster, this time there are no debutants, excluding Igor Bobkov, who however was already called up to the Team Russia roster a couple of years ago without getting a chance to play. Hardly it will be different for him this year, considering that both Sorokin and Shestyorkin are in great shape and have a lot of confidence from Vorobyov. A few players from this roster, like Kadeikin, Pedan, or Vasilevsky, conquered a spot in the lineup thanks to a solid performance at the Karjala Cup, and it will be interesting to see if they can continue the same way. All in all, Team Russia is again the favorite to win, and the tournament will be played on home soil. The Sunday game against Finland – scheduled at Stadium St. Petersburg – will almost certainly set a record for attendance in Russian hockey.
The 2018 Channel One Cup will start on December 13. The four teams will compete on a three-game round robin through Sunday, December 16. Around the same dates, Team Russia B will compete in Switzerland at the Lucerne Cup.

BENGALURU: When ID Fresh Food founder PC Musthafa created a presentation for a talk at Harvard, little did he expect that his video on vadas would go viral overnight. With more than a million views on YouTube, the video soon spurred demand for a product they had not even launched. Now, a few weeks into the launch, vadas have already become the Bengaluru company’s fastest selling item.
Available currently only in 8,500 stores of their total network of 20,000 stores, ID Fresh is now betting big on its vada maker. With the promise of "perfectly shaped vadas with a hole in the middle," the company has filed patents for the vada maker – which has a unique nozzle design – in India and 140 other countries under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT).
“We expected to do Rs 10 crore in vadas this year, but the demand has far exceeded our expectation. The idea took three years to develop. We first tried making vadas with modified pet plastic bottles like how roadside sellers make jalebis, but that didn't work as the vadas would come out in wonky shapes. We then tried a squeeze pouch like you have for jams, again it did not work. Then we finally came up with the umbrella nozzle for creating the round fluffy sphere with a cutter to ensure even sizes and a hole,” Musthafa told TOI. It allows users to squeeze vadas directly into hot oil and avoid the messy, time-consuming process of shaping them by hand.
ID Fresh expects to end this fiscal with Rs 286 crore in turnover, up from Rs 182 crore in 2017-18. The company expects this to rise to Rs 350-400 crore in 2019-20, with Rs 100 crore of that from vadas alone.
Musthafa started the venture in 2008 with four of his cousins. They began with idli and dosa batter, with a big focus on hygiene, good quality, and ensuring no preservatives and chemicals. Since then they have launched ready-to-eat parota and chapati, paneer, curd, and ragi batter, the last a push towards healthier options. In 2014, ID Fresh received Rs 35 crore in funding from Helion Venture Partners, and last year PremjiInvest invested $25 million (Rs 172 crore) for a 25% stake in the company.
Musthafa admits they don’t get everything right. Their tomato and coriander chutney bombed in the market.
“When you go to a hotel you pay Rs 35-40 for a plate of idlis. But do you pay for the chutney or sambar separately? No. It gets factored into the cost. So when we tried to sell our chutneys, serving four, at Rs 25, we found there were no takers in the market. The Indian consumer is used to getting his chutney free of cost – a decades old mindset that we couldn't change,” Musthafa says.
When ID Fresh commissioned a survey of more than 1,000 households in Bengaluru, it found that traditionalists still preferred to grind their own batter. “So, this vada is a way for us to enter households that never buy our batter. It is like what gulab jamuns did for the ready-to-cook market. Today, very few people make gulab jamuns from scratch,” says Mustafa.
The company’s next frontier is packaged filter coffee. Traditional coffee decoction has a shelf-life of one day in hot cities like Chennai, and maybe two in a city like Bengaluru. Musthafa says ID Fresh has innovated on the packaging to preserve the fresh taste of filter coffee up to one month. With no preservatives added. This will also allow it to be shipped to international markets. “The smell of coffee beans roasted on an open stove is amazing. And when it is ground, it further gives a rich aroma. This grounded coffee makes for the best frothing and taste. Instant coffee cannot have the same taste or aroma. Which is why we feel our product will be a hit,” Musthafa says.
Ironically, Mustafa is not a coffee drinker. But coffee appealed to the ID Fresh team, it was seen as the most fitting accompaniment to idlis, dosas and parotas.
All of ID Fresh’s products to date have a shelf life of 1-3 days. The coffee decoction is the first with a much longer shelf life. So for coffee, it plans to use online marketplaces like Amazon and Flipkart, and not just be dependent on retailers, grocery chains and supermarkets. Time will tell whether it will take off like idli batter did, or go the way of the tomato chutney.

Some of the world’s most sophisticated laboratories use electrostatics for drug test on sports stars at events such as the Olympics, and in the ultra-competitive world of horseracing. It is used by the energy industry to remove smoke particles from industrial chimneys to reduce pollution, and car manufacturers use electrostatics to apply paint to their latest models.
There is undoubted proof that electrostatic technology does work and Spice Application Systems has now harnessed its power for the food and pharmaceutical industries.
The technique works by applying a static charge to the powder, oil or slurry as it is being sprayed onto the base product, such as snacks, chewing gum or tablets. As the flavourings and coatings become ‘negatively’ charged, they adhere automatically to the ‘positive’ base product, creating a true wraparound effect.
This is much more efficient than the traditional tumbling drum method used by many manufacturers to apply flavourings and coatings to products, often resulting in poor coverage, high powder wastage and easy breakage of fragile products such as snacks.
SAS’s electrostatic system provides pinpoint accuracy for applications, ensuring that in today’s health conscious environment, where levels of oils and fats need to be tightly controlled, manufacturers know exactly how much they are using.
Powder contamination and misting on and around the production line is kept to an absolute minimum, resulting in a cleaner working environment for employees and less downtime for cleaning and flavour changes.
And, depending on the quantities of products manufactured, SAS estimates companies will see a return on investment within around four months in terms of savings alone – mainly through less wastage and greater energy efficiency.
SAS’s equipment can either be retrofitted onto existing production lines or purchased as a complete new unit.

Transport: Take the 9:20 train from London Victoria arriving in Hassocks at 10:07. To return from Upper Beeding take bus number 2 to Shoreham-by-Sea. Trains from Shoreham are frequent, some are direct others involve a change in Brighton.
It is a matter of opinion which is the finest view in South East England, but the amazing panorama from Devil's Dyke on the South Downs escarpment must surely be a strong contender. Such beauty comes at a price, however, and the area immediately around the viewpoint can be exceedingly busy on a fine weekend. However, the South Downs also afford numerous other less frequented viewpoints, and this walk introduces you to several of them, including tranquil Wolstonbury Hill and Edburton Hill. The morning in particular is a delightful series of climbs and descents on slopes covered by rare chalk grassland. In the afternoon - which is somewhat easier on the leg muscles, though still with a couple of short uphill sections - you follow the South Downs Way for a while across Fulking Escarpment, before descending into the riverside village of Upper Beeding for tea.
I can recommend having tea in Bramber just beyond Upper Beeding in either the Castle Inn or the Old Tollgate Inn after visiting Bramber Castle. Afterwards there is the option to stroll along the Adur to Shoreham-by-Sea for fish-and-chips which adds about 6km to the walk.

Neil Lennon remains resolute in his Champions League aspirations despite watching his luckless side lose 2-0 to AC Milan in their Champions League Group H opener at the San Siro.
The struggling home side got a huge slice of fortune when defender Cristian Zapata's drive in the 82nd minute appeared to be heading wide before it deflected off Parkhead left-back Emilio Izaguirre and ended up behind Fraser Forster.
The Hoops goalkeeper was beaten again four minutes later despite making a great save from Mario Balotelli's free-kick, as midfielder Sulley Muntari knocked in the rebound.
The Hoops boss, who guided the Scottish champions to a last-16 spot last season, said: "I am bitterly disappointed because for long periods of the game we were the better team.
"To come away from the San Siro, (disappointed) not to have picked up a point or three points, is a mark of how well we have developed and how well we played tonight.
"We have Barcelona next and they are a different animal. But we are here to qualify and nothing changes my view after that performance.
"You have to take the chances when you are on top but unfortunately we didn't get the break of the ball and they did with the deflection with the first goal.
"But I think the scoreline flattered Milan, I don't think there was two goals between the teams.
"We dominated from 20 minutes on in the first-half, until 10 minutes from end of second-half.
"Apart from the Muntari chance, my goalkeeper had nothing to do the second-half, we restricted them to long-range shots and we played really good football.
"There was no failures. We didn't hang on, there wasn't wave after wave of attacks, we took the game to Milan and we surprised a lot of people tonight.
"I thought we were the better team playing the better football.
"We had really good chances tonight and that will be one regret going away from here."
Milan play Ajax in their next fixture and head coach Massimiliano Allegri will be hoping his lengthy injury-list which included Kaka and captain Riccardo Montolivo, will have shortened substantially.
The Italian side looked looked disjointed for most of the match and will have to improve considerably if they are to reach the knockout stages from which Allegri is not discounting the Scottish champions.
He said: "We had luck a couple of times in the game tonight but it was a positive performance and an important victory for us.
"Celtic are a very good team. I believe they still have chances of qualifying out of the group but everything is still open so we will see.
"My side improved in the second part of the game and they will improve further.
"There are some players who haven't played before but this team has to be admired, they all defend together."

The funding has been channeled directly by the State Department through three US agencies: Panamerican Development Foundation (PADF), Freedom House, and the US Agency for International Development (USAID).
In a blatant attempt to hide their activities, the State Department has censored the names of organizations and journalists receiving these multimillion-dollar funds. However, one document dated July 2008 mistakenly left unveiled the names of the principal Venezuelan groups receiving the funds: Espacio Publico (Public Space) and Instituto de Prensa y Sociedad (Institute for Press and Society �IPYS�).
Espacio Publico and IPYS are the entities charged with coordinating the distribution of the millions in State Department funds to private media outlets and Venezuelan journalists working to promote US agenda.
The documents evidence that PADF has implemented programs in Venezuela dedicated to �enhancing media freedom and democratic institutions� and training workshops for journalists in the development and use of �innovative media technologies�, due to the alleged �threats to freedom of expression� and �the climate of intimidation and self-censorship among journalists and the media�.
According to the documents, PADF�s objective is to �strengthen independent journalists by providing them with training, technical assistance, materials and greater access to innovative internet-based technologies that expand and diversify media coverage and increase their capacity to inform the public on a timely basis about the most critical policy issues impacting Venezuela�.
However, while on paper this may appear benign, in reality, Venezuela�s corporate media outlets and journalists, together with US agencies, actively manipulate and distort information in order to portray the Venezuelan government as a �communist dictatorship� that �violates basic human rights and freedoms�.
Not only do media and journalists in Venezuela have a near-absolute freedom of expression, during the past decade, under the Chavez administration, hundreds of new media outlets, many community-based, have been created in order to foster and expand citizens� access to media. Community media was prohibited under prior governments, which only gave broadcasting access to corporations willing to pay big money to maintain information monopolies in the country.
Today, corporate media outlets and their journalists use communications power to publicly promote the overthrow of the Venezuelan government. The owners and executives of these media corporations form part of the Venezuelan elite that, under the reigns of Washington, ran the country for forty years before Chavez won the presidency in 1998.
What these documents demonstrate is that Washington not only is funding Venezuelan media, in clear violation of laws that prohibit this type of �propaganda� and �foreign interference�, but also is influencing the way Venezuelan journalists perceive their profession and their political reality.
The State Department funding not only is used to create and aid media outlets that promote anti-Chavez propaganda, but also to capture Venezuelan journalists at the core - as students � in order to shape their vision of journalism and ensure their loyalty early on to US agenda.
One of the PADF programs, which received $699,996 USD from the State Department in 2007, �supported the development of independent media in Venezuela� and �journalism via innovative media technologies�. The documents evidence that more than 150 Venezuelan journalists were trained by US agencies and at least 25 web pages were created with US funding.
During the past two years, there has been a proliferation of web pages, blogs, and Twitter, MySpace and Facebook users in Venezuela, the majority of whom use these media outlets to promote anti-Chavez messages and disseminate distorted and false information about the country�s political and economic reality.
Other programs run by the State Department have selected Venezuelan students and youth to receive training in the use of these new media technologies in order to create what they call a �network of cyber-dissidents� against the Venezuelan government.
For example, in April 2010, the George W. Bush Institute, together with Freedom House and the State Department, organized an encounter of �activists for freedom and human rights� and �experts in Internet� to analyze the �global movement of cyber-dissidents�. Rodrigo Diamanti, anti-Chavez youth activist, was present at the event, which took place in Dallas, Texas and was presided over by George W. Bush himself, along with �dissidents� invited from Iran, Syria, Cuba, Russia and China.
In October last year, Mexico City hosted the II Summit of the Alliance of Youth Movements (AYM), an organization created by the State Department to bring together select youth activists from countries of strategic importance to the US, along with the founders of new media technologies and representatives from different US agencies. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton presided over the event, and anti-Chavez youth activists Yon Goicochea (Primero Justicia), Rafael Delgado, and Geraldine Alvarez, attended as special guests. All three are members of Futuro Presente, an organization created in Venezuela in 2008 with funding from the Cato Institute in Washington.
The declassified State Department documents also reveal more than $716,346 USD in funding via Freedom House in 2008, for an 18-month project seeking to �strengthen independent media in Venezuela�. This project also funded the creation of a �resource center for journalists� in an unnamed Venezuelan university. �The center will develop a community radio, website and training workshops�, all funded by the State Department.
Another $706,998 USD was channeled through PADF to �promote freedom of expression in Venezuela� through a two-year project focusing on �new media technologies and investigative journalism�. �Specifically, PADF and its local partner will provide training and follow-up support in innovative media technologies and formats in several regions throughout Venezuela�This training will be compiled and developed into a university-level curriculum�.
Another document evidences three Venezuelan universities, Universidad Central de Venezuela (Central University of Venezuela �UCV�), Universidad Metropolitana (Metropolitan University) and Universidad Santa Maria (St. Mary�s University), which incorporated courses on media studies into their curriculums, designed and funded by the State Department. These three universities have been the principal launching pad for the anti-Chavez student movements during the past three years.
PADF also received $545,804 USD for a program titled �Venezuela: The Voices of the Future�. This project, which allegedly lasted one year, was devoted to �developing a new generation of independent journalists through a focus on new media technologies�. PADF also funded various blogs, newspapers, radio stations and television stations in regions throughout Venezuela, to ensure the �publication� of reports and articles by the �participants� in the program.
More funds have been distributed to anti-Chavez political groups in Venezuela through USAID�s Office for Transition Initiatives (OTI) in Caracas, which has an annual budget between $5-7 million USD. These millions form part of the more than $40 million USD given annually to opposition organizations in Venezuela by US, European and Canadian agencies, as evidenced in the May 2010 report, �Venezuela: Assessing Democracy Assistance� published by the National Edowment for Democracy�s World Movement for Democracy (WMD) and Spain�s FRIDE Institute.
PADF has been active in Venezuela since 2005 as one of USAID�s principal contractors. PADF was created by the State Department in 1962 and is �affiliated� with the Organization of American States (OAS). In Venezuela, PADF has been working to �strengthen local civil society groups�, and is �one of few major international groups that have been able to provide significant cash grants and technical assistance to Venezuelan NGOs�.
US AID's "Office for Transition Initiatives", eh? Aka colour revolutions.
"Foreign aid" is one of a very few areas of the UK governtment budget strictly ringfenced and sheltered from draconian 25% cuts.
Why? Because much of this "foreign aid" is being used to, ahem, "bolster democracy" in countries such as Afghanistan. In short, to build infrastructure and buy local militias, thus enabling NATO troops eventually to be sent home (or such is the overt plan, anyway).
Chavez should retaliate by opening up a Venezeuelan Office for Transition Initiatives Washington DC and London.

Design Help Window treatments can serve many different purposes in a room. Before you fall in love with one particular style, it's best to determine what you hope to achieve when decorating your windows.
Privacy: Sheers that cover the window, operable drapes or shades all offer privacy from neighbors and passers by. You may think your home is secluded or off the street enough that this isn't an issue, but at night, with all the lights on, it's much easier for people to see right into your living room! Bedrooms and bathrooms most often have privacy needs.
Light control: Different treatments can work to either filter the daylight coming in (to protect furnishings or soften the sun's brightness), or to completely block daylight, streetlights and car headlights. This is often the case in bedrooms and media rooms. In many cases, treatments are planned to maximize the light coming into a room.
Insulation: Here in the northeast, insulation is a big factor in window treatment planning, especially if you are the lucky owner of large picture windows and glass sliders. Well designed drapes or shades, often with an additional layer of interlining can significantly add to the overall insulation of your home cutting down on both heating and air conditioning bills.
Design factors: Valances, stationary panels, curtains and shades can all work to solve design problems in a room. Windows can be made to look bigger or smaller with the right choice of treatment. Several smaller windows can be grouped with one treatment to give the impression of one larger window. The most attractive window in your home can be highlighted with a spectacular treatment, while a less attractive window can be minimized with a plainer treatment. Using matching or complementary fabrics on all the windows in one area can tie together multi use spaces such as a kitchen that flows into a dining area. If one room has varying sizes and styles of window, using the same fabric in different types of treatment will serve to unify the look.
Draperies or Curtains can be stationary or operable. Often hung from decorative rod and rings, they can also hang from traversing rods, or utility rods hidden under valances. They can be pleated, gathered or flat panels. There are many different pleat styles, some work better for traversing panels while others are purely decorative.
Valances are decorative top treatments that can cover the mounting hardware of drapes or shades. They can also stand alone. Pleated, gathered, flat, arched, straight or shaped, the possibilities are endless!
Cornices are upholstered box shapes covered in fabric and trim. The bottom edge can be shaped in many different ways. They are mounted above the window and can conceal other mounting hardware.
Fabric Shades come in many shapes and sizes. They usually raise and lower by a system of rigged cords or a spring loaded roller. Roman Shades and their many variations tend to be flat or pleated horizontally. They raise in horizontal folds. Balloon or Cloud Shades gain fullness from pleats or gathers and have a softer, pouffed appearance when raised. Shades are usually attached to a covered mounting board that is attached either inside or outside the window trim. Some styles can be mounted on decorative poles.
Swags & Cascades. Stationary swags of fabric can be combined and overlapped on a decorative pole or covered dust board. They can be pleated and formal or relaxed and casual. They are often combined with cascades ( also known as jabots or tails) at each end of the window.
Call Liz today and get started with your new project!
"I am enjoying working with Liz. Liz is very patient and interested in making sure we end up with a look we're completely happy with. Sometimes, I am ready to order right away, and sometimes I need more time or to consider more fabrics. Either way, we're making progress! Liz has a ton of flexible fabric and design options, and she can custom design with ease as well. If she doesn't have something, she will find it."
"When I first contacted Liz about making a custom window treatment for my bathroom I wasn't sure what to expect. I had never ordered a custom window treatment and thought that it would be out of my reach financially. I had recently renovated my bathroom and had searched high and low for that perfect window treatment at countless department stores. I was frustrated and decided to call Liz and find out what she might be able to do for me.
Liz arranged an appointment to come to my home and take a look at the the window that I needed help with. She made a great suggestion to have the cornice match the same curve as my vanity top. I asked if she could then cover the cornice with the same material as my store bought shower curtain and Liz happily accommodated that request. She also allowed me to go to her workshop and help design how the pattern would be laid out.
The end result was PERFECT!!! I now have a one of a kind window treatment that looks AMAZING and I was pleasantly surprised at how affordable it was!!!

Two of my close friends were on holiday in North Wales. They decided to climb one of the most famous mountains there - Tryfan. Following good practice the couple let someone know where they were going and the time they were due to return. In the event they didn’t get in touch by the agreed time so the North Wales police were called. The police started to look for them, they weren’t at their hotel but their car was found in a car park near the mountain. The police decided therefore that it was likely that the couple were still on the mountain. A PC was stationed near the car (in case the couple returned) and the Mountain Rescue Team were called.
The Mountain Rescue Team went into action – initially to decide where to look. Those mountains are big so it’s best to try and look in the right place! While looking up at the mountain from the road the rescue team saw a light moving up on the mountain. The team flashed their own torches up at the mountain and received a response. So the Mountain Rescue Team started climbing to find whoever was behind the light. In due course they found my friends who were tired (they’d been on the mountain for ten hours by now) but well. The Mountain Rescue Team walked my friends down off the mountain and all had a happy ending! But, it so easily could have ended differently.
So that little project didn’t go exactly to plan unless you argue that the plan was to get up the mountain and back down again!
Plan our route – identify the steps ahead.
Let someone know when we expect to be back - make sure we have a good reporting structure.
Follow the map, know where we are - monitor our progress, if we’re running late let’s know about it and not hide it.
Understand the consequence of the project not going according to plan and take steps to reduce the impact of the project not succeeding.
This couple didn’t get back from the mountain when they wanted to but they did get back safe and sound due to carrying the right kit, knowing how to use it, the wonderful work of the police and the Mountain Rescue Team.
Our projects may not go quite according to our plan but let’s see the bigger picture and take the steps before and during the project to help it go well!

It's been three days since I went "sugar free", and I'm feeling some results already. The first 24 hours were easy, but the following day I realised that I didn't actually have anything in the house to eat. I ended up snacking on a Nakd bar (ingredients: dates and nuts) and a bag of crisps (even finding crisps without sugar is actually a challenge!). That kept me going until I went to the gym, and I stopped off to buy some real food on the way.
The small Sainsbury's near the gym has lots of healthy snacks - spinach and egg pots, carrots and hummus, etc., so it's easy enough to pick something up for a quick boost. I still felt "empty" though, and just generally not right on day two. I was frustrated with some admin stuff going on at the gym and just couldn't pull myself into a mental space where I could focus on BJJ. I ended up not training, and just going home when the gi class started.
The following day I still felt a bit weird and ended up not doing the lunch time class. I went for a jacket potato, and it was disgusting, so I ended up grabbing another salad to go. I started feeling better though, and did double sessions on the night.
Now I'm heading into another day and I can feel my brain fog lifting. I left the gym in a rush last night, so didn't have time to pick up groceries. The good news is I'm not particularly hungry now, so I've once again snacked on a Nakd bar. I'll pick something up on the way in to the kids classes, and hopefully the energy will kick in by the time the adult no-gi class starts.
My appetite has fallen dramatically. I do feel a greater mental clarity. I'm feeling physically 'empty' which isn't great, but I think that's more to do with how I can't just grab a quick sandwich any more, or pick up some food from the deli counter. I'll need to get more organised with my shopping because I can't just live on random junk long term. I'm not feeling any sugar cravings at all - I think I'm lucky that for me, with the exception of those muffins (which have been a traditional Saturday Morning thing for ages, and I'm expecting to reflexively want to buy one at the weekend), food has always been a convenience thing for me, so it should be easy to stick to this.
Let's see how the rest of the week goes!

The Persian Famine donation lists, which were printed in the Hebrew newspaper HaMagid in 1871 and 1872, provide a resource of names of over 40,000 Jews from the Pale of Settlement, including over 5,000 Lithuanian Jewish heads of families.
As a result of a famine in Persia in 1871, the London Jewish Chronicle ran a leading article on 4th August 1871 entitled "Famine in Persia". The article explains that Sir Moses Montefiore gave a hundred pounds for famine relief and laid the subject before the Board of Deputies. (The Board of Deputies of British Jews, which has been in existence since the eighteenth century, is the parliament of British Jewry, with members representing constituents such as synagogues and communal institutions). "The calamity is fearful. The Persian Government can do little and all that it does will be for its Mussulman subjects."
The appeal was picked up by the Hebrew newspaper HaMagid and it was reported in the Jewish Chronicle on 17th November 1871 that "The Jews of Persia have addressed an earnest appeal for aid to their brethren in Bagdad". The famine in Persia has attained a most terrible point. The Magid has given a Hebrew translation of the leading article 'The famine in Persia' which appeared in a recent issue of the Jewish Chronicle.
HaMagid appealed in its columns for donations. Donations were collected in communities and forwarded to the editor. Names of donors were printed in the newspaper as proof of receipt and the money was forwarded to the London Committee and then on to the needy Jews in Persia.
The appeal "caught fire" in the Pale of Settlement, and particularly in Lithuania, where it had an especial poignancy because the Lithuanian Jews had been going through hard times and food shortages themselves and understood the meaning of food deprivation. Collections were made in many towns, often at the instigation of the local Rabbi. Sometimes collectors were appointed who went from house to house, and sometimes an appeal was made in the synagogue, for example, appropriately on Purim. Many of the donations were extremely small, but they were nearly all recorded.
The data included in these charity lists may be compared to that retrieved from prenumerantn subscription lists. However, these lists are far more comprehensive and "grass roots" than the subscription lists, sometimes demonstrating that a significant percentage of heads of families in a town were contributors, even of just a few kopeks. Also, because these lists were all compiled in a single year (1871-72), there is very little repetition. Some of the information recorded is genealogically significant. Fathers are listed with sons and sons in-law, for example.
The lists include donations from towns in Poland, Germany, Russia, Lithuania and so on. Lithuania is well represented. I have found 70 lists from 57 locations — almost 5,500 names. Most were extracted from photocopies made from a microfilm of the Hebrew Union College copies of HaMagid; some from original copies at the New York Public Library. It should be born in mind that the microfilms are not always easy to read, and there may be errors both of transcription and in the original printing, where the names were printed from hand-written lists and there are many spelling variations.
This database consists of the lists from Lithuanian towns, which I have already found to be a useful resource. (I picked a dozen or so advertisements requesting family information from Lithuania that were printed in Avotaynu and Search from several years ago, and found relevant information for about a third of them).
It should be noted that in translating (or transliterating) the Hebrew, the original spelling has as far as possible been followed, even when apparent members of the same family have variant spellings of their surname. The words "ben" and "bas" mean "son of" and "daughter of", respectively. Some towns recorded mostly first names, i.e. "Moshe ben Yosef"; presumably either the collectors or the donors thought that the Hebrew first names and patronymics were sufficient.
This is a list of the towns covered and the numbers of names. It will be seen that for certain towns, if these are heads of families and the average family has five members, a very significant percentage of the total population is listed.
To search for donors of a particular town in other years of HaMagid, see Town Index to Donor Lists in HaMagid, 1856-1900.

This was taken last week in the small town of Ennigerloh in Westphalia, Germany.
A little while ago I was asked by a group of students from a neighbouring school for advice on the following: they were putting together the contents for a time capsule that they were intending to bury in their school grounds, to be disinterred in 2100. They wanted to include in it a lot of photographs, some shool magazines and some essays. Their intention was to bury this in electronic format, but they were stuck as to what media to use. If they put it all on CDs or DVDs, would these still be readable in 100 years, and indeed would there be the still be hardware that could be used for this purpose? Or should they use a memory stick?
Of course I was quite unable to offer any useful advice. Or rather, I suggested that the only safe thing they could do would be to include it in hard copy, i.e. on paper. I think they may have been disappointed with this advice, as they probably hoped that the president of a technology-savvy university would have some hi tech solution. Perhaps if I had asked my computing colleagues they might have given some advice, but on the whole I suspect we know very little now about what technology will be available in 100 years and whether it will be sufficiently ‘backwards compatible’ to read a DVD from 2009. Paper just seems safest.
But for me that raises all sorts of other issues.Right now one of the great movements in technology applied to the arts and humanities is digitzation – i.e. the conversion of manuscripts, books and art into electronic format. But how durable is this going to be? How can we be sure that what we are digitizing will be in a format that will still work in 2020, never mind 2100. Or are we going to have to reformat all this stuff every few years for the digital repositories to have any functional value? And if so, what about private archives that don’t have curators who can perform this task whenever it is needed?
I am reminded of this because I am the proud possessor of (I think) 38 computer disks in five an a half inch format. They were assembled in 1992. Now, in 2009, they are not exactly unreadable, but it will take an enormous effort to find some equipment that can do that. And what is more, most of the documents on them were created using word processing software called ‘WordStar’ in DOS (if you have no idea what I am talking about, don’t worry, it’s not worth your while finding out). So even if I can find the necessary hardware, I doubt that it will have the software to read the files. In short, the disks are really useless. I am only glad that I didn’t bother transferring them to 3 inch disks when I was contemplating dong that in 1998 – that too would have been a waste, because those disks are more or less also now unreadable. And do you really think you will be able to plug your USB memory stick into anything in 2030? I doubt it.
And so what this makes me wonder is whether the technophobes and Luddites will have the last laugh. Is all the stuff we are now assembling in computer files doomed to be altogether ephemeral? Will the output of this generation, so overwhelmingly stored only electronically, just fade away and remain, untouchable and unreadable, on old computer media in the back of some dusty drawer? Will our era be thought of, in some 1,000 years time, as a dark age from which nothing survived?
The US tax authorities, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), recently conducted a survey of higher education institutions in order to ascertain how well their finances are being managed. The conclusion was, on the whole, positive, and the IRS found that the institutions were prudent and responsible with the resources at their disposal. But the report does identify some ‘red flags’: chiefly these were concerned with the remuneration of management officials and some top academics, as well as the benefits made available to athletics coaches; but another concern was related to ‘risky investments’ in some colleges.
The institutions surveyed also delivered the data to Ernest & Young in order to get their own assessment of the information, and the resulting report was published last week. One of the findings was, at least to an Irish reader, remarkable: that the average salary of an athletics coach was over twice that of a college president. Although I believe sports to be a very important part of what a university should promote, I cannot help feeling that in some American institutions this has got out of all proportion.
From the perspective of the institutions surveyed, the results in general are encouraging. The report is positive about the administration of finances and the existence of policies that help to secure good practice, including policies on conflicts of interest. But with the climate we now have, the question of whether salaries are proportionate to the role being carried out and appropriate in terms of comparability will need to be addressed.
Here in Ireland salaries are much more tightly regulated, but a more general assessment of financial management may come out of the ‘forensic audit’ that the Minister for Education has entrusted to the Comptroller and Auditor General. Although I have been wary of the context in which this audit was requested, it may be that it will help to build confidence in the ability of the Irish universities and colleges to manage their financial affairs, and such confidence is vital if the institutions are to be encouraged to be innovative and reform-minded. The US survey by the IRS may provide some useful comparative material.
One of the key questions for modern journalism is about where to draw the line between news which the public have a legitimate right and expectation to know and items that are really just an intrusion into a person’s privacy. And before we go down that road, there is a corresponding question that needs to be asked of us, the general public: what do we want the media to tell us, and are we consistent between what we say in answer to that question and what we are prepared to read or listen to?
Of course the trigger for such a discussion right now would be the report by the Irish television station TV3 that the Minister for Finance, Brian Lenihan TD, has pancreatic cancer, a story they released despite the fact that they knew he had not told all of his friends and family and was intending to do so over the Christmas period. As far as I know, TV3 have not stated why they released the news in this way; the only statement from the station that I have come across was from Andrew Hanlon, Director of News at the station, who said: ‘We held it for two days to enable him to inform his family’. Apart from the attempt to portray the station as having behaved sympathetically, I cannot see in that statement why they did it at all. To be fair, it is perfectly correct to report on the Minister’s illness, as his role is crucial in the government and his personal ability to handle the issues facing the economy is a relevant issue; but there can be no real argument that this needed to be known during the Christmas holiday and could not have waited another week.
My own view is that the station got it badly wrong and behaved inappropriately in a very sensitive matter. The issue here is one of timing rather than of substance. And of course the reason why they did it was that they believed that it would provide them with publicity that would be commercially useful to them; the tut-tutting of the other media was not only not a problem, but perhaps was an additional bonus in PR terms. Such news items work for the media because, in the end we, the public, go for it. We may join the ranks of the tut-tutters, but we do so having read or listened to the item.
The problem in all of this is that it is difficult to formulate a set of principles on the public interest in such matters, or indeed on public accountability for those who exercise power, which is clearly set apart from what is just salacious interest. The French media did not report the existence of François Mitterrand’s illegitimate daughter while he was President, although the story was well known. Was that the correct position? Or was it right to suggest, as some British journalists did at the time, that Mitterrand’s marital infidelity should have been fair game because it showed that he could not be trusted to keep his word, and that this was a matter of public interest?
Generally speaking, it is my view that the Irish media behave with a significant degree of responsibility. But even here we may need to develop a better understanding of what constitutes news that should be printed (or broadcast), and what is simply a matter of private concern that the public does not have a right to know.
Media comment was also almost universally hostile, as in this example.
In fairness to Peter Mandelson, I’m not wholly sure that he said what has been attributed to him by some of the critics. He did (as seen in the quote above) refer to two-year programmes, but I don’t see the immediate evidence that he was holding this up as the general model to be applied. Rather, he seems to have been concerned with the need to have structured programmes that are accessible to those who are not traditional university students. For all that, he said what he said, and he certainly does seem to be contemplating some two-year courses. And if that is so, it is indeed necessary to examine where such courses would fit into both the Bologna framework and, more generally, our understanding of the pedagogy underlying university degrees. The problem is that the rather high volume of the responses may make a dispassionately analytical discussion with the Secretary of State difficult.
This is also an important topic for us in Ireland, and one that should be addressed in the higher education strategic review now under way, and in the resulting discussion. Right now there are three-year and four-year undergraduate programmes in Ireland, and some niche ones that have other structures. It is time to reach an agreement on what educational aims we expect to see satisfied in degree programmes and how the total period of study affects that.
According to the latest information released by online book retailer Amazon, this Christmas, for the first time, e-books out-sold hard copy (i.e. paper) books. The company’s e-book reader, the Kindle, is now more likely to contain a customer’s book collection than a bookcase or a set of shelves on the wall. This raises a number of questions, but perhaps some of the more interesting ones include what this will do to book prices, how writers and publishers will be affected, and what kind of ‘market’ this will turn into.
Take this example. If you would like to buy Colm Toibin’s latest book, Brooklyn, then on Amazon you can get the paper edition for $16.50. But if you go for the e-book (Kindle) version, you will have to pay $13.79. So you’ll get the electronic version at a lower price, but low enough? If you’ve just got the Kindle, and you are full of admiration for your new toy, maybe you won’t think that price too bad. But let us say you’ve had the device for six months, and you start wondering about what this money is paying for, and in particular that neither the publisher nor Amazon have to create and then ship anything of material value to you, then you may start thinking that the price is too high.
In fact, it appears that many customers regard $9.99 as the top price that would be acceptable for an e-book – and I’ll bet my first edition of Dickens’ Bleak House that in another two years or so that price elasticity will have slipped further and the limit will be $4.99. And between now and then you’ll have publishers and agents and Amazon itself arguing about copyright and older titles and heaven knows what else, and before you know it the whole publishing industry will be plagued by piracy and other such stuff.
There is also a rumour that Apple is about to enter this market – wait for an updated version of iTunes with book content for your iPodReader or whatever.
There will be interesting times ahead. E-book readers are here to stay. And e-books provide opportunities for publishing and distribution that could rattle the cages of the large publishing houses and open up some real competition. Let us hope that this is how it will develop.
• In South Dakota (USA) it is illegal to fall asleep in a cheese shop.
• In Vermont it is illegal to whistle under water.
• In New York it is illegal to walk backwards on a public road.
• In China a couple cannot get a divorce if they have lost their marriage certificate.
But my favourite is this one: if you are driving your car in Pennyslvania and you meet horses, the law requires the driver to stop at the side of the road and cover the car with a blanket that has been painted or sewn to blend into the scenery. If the horses are not happy, the driver must disassemble the car and hide the parts in any nearby underbrush. I do hope this law is regularly enforced.

Huawei on last Monday launched the upgraded version of the old pal Huawei Ascend Mate phablet. This launch took place at the CES 2014 event. Being called as Ascend Mate 2 4G, the phablet bears the same 6.1inch HD LCD screen with IPS technology as its predecessor. However in terms of other specs and configuration, Ascend Mate 2 4G is definitely upgraded version.
The newer Huawei Ascend Mate’s price is still not disclosed and there are no words on the availability of the phablet as well. It is being termed to be coming with Android 4.3 out of the box and thus is pretty much assumable that it will getting the Android v4.4 upgraded rolling out sooner or later. The only thing mentioned about Ascend Mate 2 4G was that this will unlike its predecessor be available in the US, apart from 40 other markets.
Huawei Ascend Mate 2 4G price Specifications and features.
Huawei Ascend Mate 2 4G comes packed up with a 1.6GHz quad-core processor with Snapdragon 400 MSM8928 chipset. It also features an Adreno 306 GPU (Graphics Processor Unit) along with 2GB of RAM. Android 4.3 is customized via layering it by Huawei’s Emotion UI 2.0 skin on the top.
Ascend Mate 2 4G features a 13MP autofocus camera with HDR feature. It also comes with a 5MP front camera. Talking about new Ascend Mate’s internal memory, it comes with 16GB of inbuilt memory which is double the previous model.
Ascend Mate 2 compared to the previous Ascend Mate is slightly thinner, a bit heavier, and is LTE capable with up to 150mbps download speed and up to 50mbps upload speed. Though Huawei Ascend Mate features the same 4,050mAh battery but if company’s words are to be believed, this time it would be accounting of 2 days battery backup. A reverse charging feature has also been included which lets you charge other devices from Huawei Ascend Mate 2 4G phablet.

Of course. Keagan was diagnosed with preeclampsia, which, according to the Mayo Clinic, presents as high blood pressure and signs of damage to organs, most usually liver and kidneys. Everything is normal and good until. boom. Diagnosis.
If it comes too early in the pregnancy to deliver the baby, its extra tough because baby needs more time to grow and mom needs to make sure doesn't stay at risk to the illness. Which is why Keagan is in the hospital, which has, of course, caused some money issues.
I have been diagnosed with Preeclampsia and baby Pierson is not growing very well for me being 31 weeks. Unfortunately, I am being hospitalized for the rest of my pregnancy. The doctors want to keep me pregnant as long as possible, but could be induced anywhere from now, to 37 weeks.

The most fundamental differences are philosophical, and readers of this book will emerge with a clearer understanding of paradoxical-sounding concepts such as infinity, curved space, and imaginary numbers. The first few chapters are about general aspects of mathematical thought. These are followed by discussions of more specific topics, and the book closes with a chapter answering common sociological questions about the mathematical community (such as "Is it true that mathematicians burn out at the age of 25?").

Taylor Hall has already missed four games for the Devils and it looks like he’s going to miss a few more.
Taylor Hall has already missed four games for the Devils and it looks like he’s going to miss a few more. The winger and reigning Hart Trophy winner was placed on injured reserve on Tuesday with a lower-body injury, retroactive to Dec. 23.
Hall aggravated an injury in practice prior to the Christmas break and missed one game. He rejoined the team for their contest against Columbus on Dec. 23 but then sat out the last three.
Hall, the Devils points leader with 11 goals and 26 assists (37 points), joins forwards Marcus Johansson (upper-body), Joey Anderson (broken ankle) and goalie Cory Schneider (abdominal strain) on IR.
The club has promoted defenseman Egor Yakovlev and forward Blake Pietila from Binghamton of the American Hockey League. Yakovlev was assigned to Binghamton on Dec. 31 and played that same night.
The Devils have managed well without two of their top forwards, winning their last three straight. They now head to Dallas to begin a four-game Southwestern swing against the Stars, the Arizona Coyotes and the Vegas Golden Knights. They’ll end the trip in Buffalo against the Sabres.
Hall can be activated at any time so there's a chance he could join the team on the road. It's unclear whether or not he traveled to Dallas with the team Tuesday.

Queen ants have two primary roles. Early in their lives, they are programmed to begin creating a new colony. After exiting her birth colony and mating, this young queen will find a new nest site and lay her initial group of eggs.
The role of egg production falls to the queen. Her job as the reproductive female is to mate with the males and have babies. And, though she is sometimes the center of the ant colony, she is far from the leader.
