It is always a pleasure for me to visit Sicily. All of my grandparents were born there and Michele and I first went there on our honeymoon. It is such a beautiful and enchanting Island that I will use any excuse to go there. My excuse came in the form of an invitation to spend five days in Sicily tasting wine and food and visiting the sites. I had to accept!
The trip was sponsored by the regions of Trapani, Ragusa and Catania. It was unusual because my fellow travelers included an international group of journalists, wine and food buyers, and travel agents from India, Russia, and Tunisia as well as the USA. I was travelling with my friend, Louis Coluccio owner of Coluccio and Son’s in Brooklyn, wholesalers and retailers of Italian food products.
We arrived very late in Palermo and did not get to the Hotel Baglio Oneto, which is between Marsala and Trapani, until after midnight. There was a very nice light supper waiting for us when we arrived.
The next morning after breakfast there was a short conference followed by a meeting with different producers of olive oil, wine, grappa, coffee, pasta, balsamic vinegar, and food products. We went around to the different tables to sample the wine and the food products.
I stopped at a table that had only one wine and one grappa. The producer was Natale Peraino and the wine is called Don Girolamo, classified as a Vino da Tavola. It is a white wine made from, I believe, the Grillo grape and it is aged for 10 years in large barrels called botti made of chestnut and oak. It had a very deep orange color and itasted like Marsala, but much more rustic. It was one of the most unusual wines I have ever tasted. It is the only wine that they make and it is not imported into the USA.
In the afternoon we visited Frantoio Torredi Mezzo an olive oil mill located in Trapani where the very personable and knowledgeable Alberto Galluffo, an olive oil panel member, is a consultant. Mr Galluffo also makes his own very good olive oil. This was a state-of-the-art factory and the production was all controlled by a computer. The olive oil I liked the best was made from three different types of olives–Cerasuola 50%, Nocellara 25% and Biancolilla 25%. It had grassy quality and tasted of tomatoes and artichokes. I believe the olive oil from both producers is available in the USA.
That night we visited the Giuseppe Bianchi Distillery located in Marsala. It not only produces grappa but also Amaro and Limoncello as well as well as sweet wine and Marsala. We tasted a Marsala Superiore Riserva 1989 and a 20 year old Marsala Virgine Riserva which were excellent and went very well with the biscotti that they gave us. Their products are not imported into the USA. I often wonder why it is so difficult to find Marsala of this quality here.
Near Ragusa we visited another olive oil producer, Frantoi Cutrera, and had a long discussion about virgin olive oil with the son of the owner Sebastiano. The producer said that it must pass a government test to be labeled virgin olive oil and this is partly based on the acidity. He said that there was no such thing as light olive oil or extra light olive oil. When asked about his oil he said that they only press the grapes once and his oil always passes the government’s tests. Their oil is available in the USA.
On the way to Catania we stopped for a tasting at the Planeta winery near the town of Vittoria. The one wine that I wanted to taste was the Cometa 2010 IGT Sicily. This wine is made from 100% Fiano, a grape that was brought to Campania by the Greeks and gained fame there as Fiano di Avellino. The wine is vinified at the winery in Menfi at Ulmo and the grapes come from the Gurra and Dispensa vineyards. Destemming is followed by gentle crushing and static settling at a low temperature. It is inoculated with select yeast when clear. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel for 20 days and the wine is aged in stainless steel. This is an elegant, full-bodied and aromatic wine. It has hints of citrus and tangerine with a nice mineral character and good acidity. When I tasted this wine in February 2010 at the winery I could not believe how good it was. They told me then that wine is no longer aged in barriques! This is a great white wine.
At another tasting of wine and food products in Catania I met Rosario Greco, export manager of the Cantina Vivera winery and we had a very interesting conversation about Sicilian wine. I tasted the “Salisire” Etna Bianco DOC 2009 made from 100% Carricante, one of the best white grapes from the Etna region. The vineyards are at 600 meters and the soil is volcanic with many rounded stones. There are 5,500 vines per hectare and the training is spur pruned cordon. The harvest takes place the second week of October. The grapes are soft pressed without oxygen and are fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks. The wine rests on its lees for 10 months and in bottle for six months before release. This is a very fruity up front wine with good citrus aromas and flavors, a mineral character and good acidity.
A’ Mami Sicily IGT Bianco 2009 Made from 50% Chardonnay and 50% Carricante. The Carricante comes from Linguaglossa where the Mittinella vineyard is located at 600 meters on the northeastern side of Etna. The Chardonnay comes from Corleone where the Solicchiata vineyard is located at 450 meters. There are 4,500 plants per hectare and the grapes are picked in the middle of August. The wine has citrus aromas and flavors with hints of tropical fruits and mineral notes.
They also make a wine called “Altrove” Sicilia IGT Bianco made from Catarratto, Insolia and Chardonnay from the vineyards of Muranna and Dagata in the hills around Corleone. Rosario said the vineyards were organic and the winery “biological”. These wines are available in the USA.
I asked Rosario if he know a good restaurant in the Catania fish market and he suggested a restaurant called M M. This was the best meal we had in Sicily. We ate crudo, followed by pasta with sardines, and a mixed grill including triglia (red mullet), swordfish, calamari, and octopus. With the lunch we drank Pietranera 2009 made from 100% Zibibbo grapes from Marco de Bartoli. The grapes come from the island of Pantellleria, the closest part of Italy to Africa. Zibibbo grapes are used to make desert wines for which De Bartoli is famous. The vines are on terraced hills at 350 meters, the soil is volcanic and the training system for the vines is alberello pantesco, very, very short vine. This wine however was vinified dry. There was very nice fruit in the mouth but the finish was dry and it was a great combination with the fish we had for lunch.
The first night of the cruise aboard the Crystal Serenity I ordered a Martini made with Beefeater Gin and olives. I did not watch while it was being made and it was fine.
The next night, Tony Abou-Ganim who calls himself “the Modern Mixologist”, was behind the bar making the drinks. I asked for a Martini and he said “let me make it for you the way I like it”. He said that a Martini should be 4 parts gin to 1 part dry white vermouth and to contrary to what James Bond preferred, it should be stirred, not shaken. Tony said that shaking aerates the drink, which destroys the texture. Only foamy drinks such as a whiskey sour should be shaken. Shaking also causes the ice to melt and the drink to become watered down. Water is an important part of the drink, but should be no more than 20%. Tony feels that a twist of lemon is needed and either two or three green olives, which should be cold. The entire drink should be poured into the glass, which should be chilled. If any of the drink is delivered in a container or held in a container on the side it will become watery.
Tony said that he only drinks gin Martinis. Vodka, he feels, does not mix well with vermouth. He likes vodka but not in a Martini.
Most people drink their Martinis too dry, Tony said, and they do not understand the drink. Only buy vermouth in a small bottle because after a month, an open bottle becomes stale and it should be discarded. The ice should be fresh, the olives should be cold, and the lemon peel twisted over the drink to release the lemon oils. He made my Martini with Beefeater, which is my favorite gin for a Martini. It was the best that I have ever had. There was a silky quality to it with great balance and flavor!
Ever since I studied Byzantine history many years ago, I have wanted to visit Istanbul, or Constantinople, as I like to think of it. So when the opportunity arose for Michele and I to teach wine and food classes aboard the Crystal Serenity Epicurean Discoveries Cruise, I finally had the chance. We boarded the ship in Athens and during the next two weeks we visited Santorini, Crete, Israel, Cyprus, Mykonos and Kusadasi with Istanbul as our final stop. I can’t think of a more enjoyable or luxurious way to travel.
Since it was a wine and food themed cruise, several other presenters spoke or demonstrated on board including Chef Azmin Ghahreman of Sapphire Restaurant in Laguna Beach, California, the “Modern Mixologist” Tony Abou-Ganim, and Darioush Khaledi, owner of Darioush Winery in Napa Valley.
On our first full day at sea, Mr. Khaledi presented his wines in a tasting billed as Bordeaux vs. Napa. Bart Dufour, the head sommelier for the cruise, introduced him and spoke about the Bordeaux wine. From the start, however, Darioush made it clear that the wines should be judged on their own because what is being produced in Napa is very different from what they are doing in Bordeaux.
The glasses used for the tasting were very unusual. Mr. Dufour said that the glasses, made by the Reidel Glass Company of Austria, were made solely for tasting wine, not drinking it. The tulip shaped bowl rested on a hollow stem one inch wide and two inches high. The wine was poured into the stem and the bowl remained empty. In order to coat the sides, Mr. Dufour laid a glass on its side and the wine went to the edge and stopped. He then turned the glass until it was coated with wine. This works great but care must be taken not to pour a little too much wine into the stem or it could spill out.
Darioush said that there were 60 different types of soil in the Napa Valley and that during the harvest the grapes can be picked at three different times.
Russian River Chardonnay 2007 100% Chardonnay. The wine is barrel fermented and spends 11 months in 75% new French oak and 25 % in used barrels of Siruge, Damy and Francois Freres Burgundian barrels. Darioush said that there was very little rainfall and that it was the lowest Chardonnay yield of the decade. Darioush does not own this property. This is a big Chardonnay but not over the top with citrus fruit and hints of white peaches and nice acidity.
Chateau Brane-Cantenac 2004 Margaux 55% Cabernet Sauvignon,40% Merlot, 4.5% Cabernet Franc and 0.5% Carmenére. There are 6,666 to 8,000 plants per hectare. The wine is aged in barriques for 18 months of which 60% to 70% are new. Mr Dufour described this as classic Bordeaux and he was right.
Napa Valley Shiraz2007 100% Shiraz. The wine spends 18 months in new French oak Siruge, Damy and Francois Freres Burgundian barrels. Darioush said that the length of time a wine spent in wood depended on the vintage. This was one of the biggest wines that I have ever tasted with a mixture of chocolate, spice, bold fruit and a hint of cinnamon.
Darioush was born in the Shiraz region of Iran. He is very fond of his Shiraz wine and feels this is the correct name for the grape. He also said that he believed that Iran, and in particular the city of Shiraz, was where wine was first made.
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2007 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 3% Malbec. The wine is aged for 22 months in new Taransaud Chateau traditional French oak barrels from Troncais. There was a mixture of mocha and bold fruit with under tones of expresso.
The Bordeaux in the tasting was placed before the Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon. This was correct because the Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon were very big alcoholic wines typical of California.
Later in the cruise, I had the chance to taste the olive oil from Darioush. It was excelent.
Sangiovese in Tuscany was the title of tasting that I did on the last day at sea, but more on that next time.
Alfonso Cevola, a friend and wine writer from Texas, was in town recently and asked me to meet him for a pizza. It would be a reprise of a wonderful dinner we had enjoyed two years ago at Keste Pizza and Vino where we ate and talked while drinking Vallana Spanna from the 1950’s.
While I looked forward to seeing him again, but there was a problem. That afternoon I was attending a Bordeaux tasting and lunch for the Wine Media Guild at Felidia Restaurant. There were 12 wines to taste followed by four to drink with lunch. Many of the Wine Media Guild members would bring older vintages and I knew it was going to be a great afternoon. But I looked forward to seeing Alfonso again so we made plans to meet for dinner and I hoped for the best. As it turned out at my table at lunch we had the 1982, 1986 and 1988 Chateau Mouton-Rothschild, 1993 Chateau Lafite Rothschild and the 1975 Chateau Grand Puy Lacoste among others as we shared wines with other tables. The wine which was at its peak was the 1975 Lacoste. It was surprising to me that the 1982 Mouton was still too young. But more on these wines in another article.
I made plans with Alfonso to meet at La Pizza Fresca that night at 7:30 so I would have enough time to recover from lunch. I invited Nicole and Travis a young couple that always bring wines much older than they are.
At the WMG I was sitting next to Ed McCarthy, co–author of the Wine for Dummies books with his wife, Mary Ewing Mulligan, MW. Ed said that Mary was away on a press trip so I invited him to join us for dinner.
After the WMG lunch there were some open bottles with wine still in them at our table, among them Lafite 93, Lynch Bages 1996 and 2000 and two bottles of Clerc Milon 2004 and 2006 I took them along for the others to taste at dinner.
Travis and Nicole arrived with a bottle of Champagne Grand Cru Godmé Pére et Fils Brut Millesime 2000 and the 1961 and 1964 Barolo from Fontanafredda. Ed brought a bottle of Champagne Benoit Lahaye Grand Cru Essentiel NV and I contributed the 1988 Grato Grati, a de-classified Chianti Rufina. I wanted Alfonso to taste the Grato Grati and really wanted to bring the ‘82 but somehow I picked up the 1988. It did not matter since the wine was drinking very well.
Both the 1961 and 1964 were in very good condition. 1964 was a great vintage in Barolo and it was in very good condition and might have a “few” years in front of it. The 1961 was at its peak and I really enjoyed it with my pizza Margarita!
I just returned from a Crystal cruise of the Greek Islands and Turkey with Michele. More on the trip, my on board wine tasting lecture, and how to make the perfect Martini in a future article!

Gallery Copy: The Perkins family coat of arms is among the largest examples of the Patten school design, extensively highlighted with both gold and silver metallic threads (the silver now darkened with tarnish). The school’s hallmark eagle, spread-winged, padded, and raised, tops the composition, holding a double swag of roses suspended from his beak. The swag of wheat at the bottom glistens with gold metallic thread. A splendid pineapple replaces more commonly seen crest emblems. The graceful and naturalistic treatment of the wheat ears and laurel leaves (or palm fronds) contrasts with the central shield, worked in a combination of gold and silver with fluffy chenille in rich, deep colors. The motto echoes sentiments often seen on samplers—“VIRTUE ALONE / ENNOBLES”—certainly appropriate wisdom for a proper young lady’s upbringing.
Description: Perkins Family Coat of Arms worked in shades of dark medium and light green, blue green, cream, red and white silk thread, brown, blue and green chenille yarn, and silver and gold metallic threads, on a cream satin-woven silk ground, using a satin stitch and other stitches. At the top is a silver eagle with outstretched wings clutching a swagged garland of roses and leaves in its beak. Below this is a pineapple at the top of a tapered shield. The shield, sewn with silver metallic thread and chenille yarn, contains a chevron with a lion above and three horse's heads below. The shield is surrounded by a wreath of laurels. Beneath the shield are three banners; two contain the hand-written ink inscription of "VIRTUE ALONE" and "ENNOBLES", while the third is embroidered in metallic thread with "PERKINS". At the bottom is a curved stalk holding wheat embroidered in gold metallic thread. The eagle, lion and each horse's head are stitched in relief with a padded satin stitch. The coat of arms is in its original gold painted wooden frame; the frame has ogee molding that contains a rope-twist strand. Stitches: The principal stitch on the sampler is the long and short stitch; it also includes padded satin, and encroaching satin. Condition: The needlework has been re-matted and re-installed in its original wooden frame. The silk threads are faded slightly.
Inscription: Beneath the shield are three banners; two contain the hand-written ink inscription of "VIRTUE ALONE" and "ENNOBLES", while the third is embroidered in metallic thread with "PERKINS".

The general concept of transparency in disclosure that applies to public and private and domestic and international institutions and governments also applies to mutual funds. The key issue is no longer whether transparency is desirable, but rather how it should be achieved. This study further develops and defines the concept of normative transparency of disclosure. To attain normative transparency of mutual funds disclosure, Congress, the SEC, and fund advisers, managers, and independent directors should individually and collectively become more proactive in serving and protecting shareholders. Normative transparency of disclosure is not likely to be achieved across the board. There are political obstacles to complete transparency being achieved by Congress and the SEC, or by collaboration with individual funds, the funds industry, and its trade association. The final reality is that it will likely fall to independent directors of individual mutual funds to provide normative transparency of disclosure for their shareholders. What should be done will also change over time as the industry evolves.

Putting together an ego bait campaign can be a very simple process. Essentially, it’s a way to mention somebody else in a way that will get him to take a desired action. Generally, the desired action results in a link or social share that will get a site in front of a new audience. However, with the wide range of ways to mention someone combined with how easy it is to find a person to mention, there is a high chance of failure if the choices aren’t thought through strategically. Yet no matter what style of ego bait campaign your team decides to go with (e.g., contests, interviews, blog mentions, infographics, etc.) there is one key to a successful campaign: The strategic selection of the person/people that will be mentioned.
How Do You Strategically Select Your Ego Bait Participant?
Whether the goal of your ego bait campaign is a getting a link back to your site or social media shares, the strategic participant selection process is the same. You’ll want to take a look at the potential participant’s past behavior and see if that person is likely to do what you want him to do. Here is an example: The Straight North content marketing team decided to run an interview style ego bait campaign for a client of ours that sells sporting equipment in an effort to get a link. We wanted to talk about field preparation as it relates to safety, so we decided to target sports injury doctors. With a simple search we found hundreds of potential targets, but to strategically select our few targets we had one qualifier: The doctors had to have a media mentions listing on their site, because that meant they would include a link to the post where we interviewed them on the site.
Here’s another example with that same client: We found an association’s news page that asked for readers to submit mentions/interviews of their ambassadors. Our team interviewed one of the ambassadors, posted the blog on the client’s site, and then notified the association via email. The link was on the site two days later.
Even if you’re looking for just a social share, look through a potential participant’s social media accounts to see past behaviors. Does this person tend to share his mentions? Does his community seem to like, favorite or retweet his posts? All of these questions should be answered before the potential participant is approached or used in an ego bait campaign.
Ego bait, like any other link building activity, is a game of chance. You cannot make someone post mentions of your work, share it through his social media channels, or place your link on his site. However, you can improve your chances of getting your desired outcome if you look at a participant’s past behavior and select targets that show a pattern of exercising the desired behavior you’re looking for.

Back pain is a tragedy that no one wants to get to at any point in his or her life. It develops as a result of affected parts of the spine and muscle ligaments in the back region. Additionally, you will begin to feel the pain when you do the following things: Lifting heavy objects, when you have bad sitting and standing postures, the tension of the muscles, pushing and pulling heavy objects, pregnancies, and illnesses.
Think of a scenario where you hurt your back, and you have no money to go to the hospital at that particular moment. What do you do?
You will have to find ways to treat yourself from home. Our article today highlights ways that you can use at home to deal with that excruciating pain on your back.
For some people, going to the spur is a waste of time, while others do not have even the time to book an appointment with their therapist. As a way to counter this, massage chairs came in to help people do their massage at the comfort of their home.
The chair vibrates typically; therefore, no need for body contact with anybody’s hands, if you do not like being in touch with people. You can use it to treat the constant back pains; alternatively, you can use this for leisure.
For some people, taking pills is just a piece of work. Sometimes you forget taking your dose, which can bring adverse health conditions or worse problems than you have right now. If oral medicine is a problem that you want to avoid, then buy relief creams and gels.
Be careful, however, when buying these gels. Also, avoid buying from unknown medicinal outlets. Buy them from people you know, read reviews online, and ensure that you understand ingredients within the cream to prevent further infection.
As much as resting is an excellent way to rest your back, doctors think otherwise. Engaging yourself in tasks that stretch your muscles is the perfect way to end the pain. Nonetheless, do not overdo it because it can worsen the conditions.
Try yoga, where people stretch as they meditate. Experts recommend one to stop exercising once they notice that the pain does not end even after 15 minutes of exercise. Small and straightforward exercise works perfectly and can finish the pain within a few minutes of working out.
Back pains can affect your sleeping positions, and make it difficult to get sleep. As this is the case, it is proper that you find great ways to sleep comfortably. One way to ensure that the pain disappears is to do some yoga before sleeping.
Purchase a good mattress. Throw away your old one if it makes you uncomfortable. During purchase, try to lie on various mattresses within the store to see how it feels. Practitioners advise that you should avoid soft cushions to prevent sinking in; while firm mattresses can increase discomfort.
Try practising proper sitting positions to avert additional pains. For instance, push your hips inwards into the chair especially when sitting on them. Your sitting position ensures that your body uses the right muscles, and prevents fatigue you typically get when you sit at the edge of the seat.
If you are always working on your computer, then use technology to help you get the right sitting posture. Research on apps that use your webcam to notice changes in your sitting technique. They will detect whenever your head steers away from the webcam because it is a sign that your posture is not appropriate.

MANILA, Jan. 17 (PIA) -- At least 10 police, military and civilians who defied the government’s campaign against indiscriminate firing of guns during the holidays now face charges as Interior and Local Government Secretary Jesse M. Robredo vowed to impose the full might of the law against them.
“I am not going to tolerate those who indiscriminately fired their guns before, after and during the holidays, particularly police officers who defied our ban. Once investigation results indicate we have prima facie cases against them, they will be dismissed from the service,” Robredo said.
To military personnel involved in indiscriminate firing, Robredo said he would recommend their dismissal to the Department of National Defense and Armed Forces of the Philippines while civilians, aside from filing of criminal charges, will be deprived of their privilege to own and possess guns.
For the period December 1, 2011 to January 1, 2012, at least 10 persons have been arrested for indiscriminate firing, and they include two police officers, one Army soldier, a security guard, and six other civilians.
The uniformed men arrested and charged criminally by the PNP were identified as Police Officers 2 Fulgencio Sideco of the Manila Police and Efren Dimaiwat of Training Service; and Army Cpl. Reynolds Reyes.
The others were security guard Noel Briones from Region 7; Edgar Sedino from Region 10; Anselmo Masangcay from Anilao, Batangas; Benedicto Salamatin from Laguna; and three others whose names were not disclosed pending the filing of charges against them.
Suspect Salamatin and Masangcay reportedly fired their guns indiscriminately during the New Years’ eve celebration while the rest fired their guns on separate occasions from December 21 to 31, 2011.
The 9mm unlicensed firearm of Salamatin has been confiscated and the suspect was subjected to inquest proceedings for illegal possession of firearms and illegal discharge of firearms.
Masangcay, on the other hand, was arrested by the Mabini town PNP men in Batangas for indiscriminately firing his gun on New Year’s eve.
He admitted firing his gun and was brought to Mabini PNP office for investigation and filing of charges. The local police had written a recommendation for the revocation of his firearm license.
On reports that there were 18 people that were hit by stray bullets, Robredo directed Bartolome to order his field investigators to gather evidences such as bullet slugs from the victims and subject them to ballistics test to determine, if possible, on whose firearms they were fired from.

Kick-Proof your door, your jamb is the weak point that will most likely fail when the door is kicked.
All exterior doors should have heavy-duty metal security strike plates secured by 3-inch screws (do not use drywall screws).
Install reliable locks on all external doors.
Invest in storm doors. Locks on these doors can add an extra layer of security to your home, which can deter potential burglars from attempting to enter your home unauthorized. Storm doors are also valuable if you want to protect your home from inclement weather and provide more insulation for your home during both the summer and winter months.
Stick a broomstick or dowel rod in the track of sliding glass doors.
Drill a hole through the slide door frame and fixed frame of sliding glass doors, and insert a pin in the hole. This can prevent someone from lifting the door off its track.
Use key locks for double-hung windows. Or, drill a small hole at a 45- degree angle between the inner and outer frames and insert a nail that can be removed.
An unsecured garage door presents an opportunity for a burglar to enter your property if your garage is attached to the home, or to find tools to assist him. Cover garage windows with frosted contact paper. Sunlight can come in, but no one will be able to see inside.
Install motion-sensitive lights outside or lights with photo cells that will turn on when it’s dark and off when it’s light.
Remove your last name from your mailbox. That way someone can’t look up your name in the phone book and call to see if you’re home.
Prune or remove bushes around doors and windows. Cut tree limbs that could be climbed to enter a window.
Install gravel paths near bedroom windows. The sound of footsteps on gravel may alert you to a prowler.
Planting spiny or thorny plants along fences and under windows can discourage possible burglars.
Park a vehicle in the driveway. Not only will your house look occupied, but a burglar also won’t be able to back up and load a van.
Get a dog. You don't need a large attack dog, even a small dog creates a disturbance that burglars would prefer to avoid. Remember to License and Vaccinate it.
Invest in an alarm system from a reputable company.
Keep all doors locked, even when you’re at home. Keep garage doors down and locked, too.
Give an extra key to a neighbor you trust. Avoid hiding spare keys outside the house. If you can “break in” to your own home, someone else can, too!
When you travel, ask a friend to pick up your mail and newspapers or ask the post office to hold your mail.
Use timers to turn lights on and off in different areas of your home while you’re gone.
Check that valuables such as expensive furniture, stereo equipment, paintings or coin collections aren’t visible from outside windows.
Take pictures of your valuables and write down their serial numbers and a description of them.
Make sure your telephone and answering machine can’t be heard outside. Record an answering machine message that says you’re unavailable to take the call rather than not at home.

Looks the the new iPhone 1.1.3 firmware update will include GPS functionality, according to Gearlive. While that’s definitely big news for iPhone users and GPS fans alike, the real news in the blogosphere seems to be whether or not the news reports and accompanying photos are real or not.
Yet another portable media player with GPS functionality, the also features a 4.3 inch 480×272 pixel TFT screen, detachable gaming pad, two joysticks on the controller, and an ADI chip that should allow NES and SFC game play.
The X900 also has support for AVI, MPEG4, MP3, WMA, FLAC codecs, an integrated ebook reader, and an FM tuner. An SD slot can hold up to 4GB memory cards for movie or game storage making these a pretty hot little PMP. Too bad it looks like it’ll be only available in China for the time being.
Introducing the Cowon N3 portable media player/GPS unit. The PMP features an Alchemy AU 1250 600 Mhz processor, runs Window CE 5.0 and supports DivX, XviD, MPEG4, WMV video codecs as well as MP3, WMA, ASF, OGG, WAV, FLAC, APE, MPC audio codecs. The display is a 7 inch, 800×480 touchscreen and rather than having internal memory like other Cowon media players, the N3 uses two SDHC card slots for both DMB and GPS capabilities. Unfortunately for western world readers, this is rumored to be an exclusive release to Korea.
What Are The Bestselling GPS Units Of 2007?
2007 has been a huge year for GPS technology. It has gone from a gadget that everyone knows about, but few have, to a gadget that everyone knows about and everyone must have. Very much reminiscent of the iPod making the mp3 player ubiquitous in every household. Here’s a listing of the top 15 bestselling GPS units, from dashboard units to portable fitness-related units, of 2007. The best part is all 15 units’ prices have been slashed unbelievably to clear out stock after Christmas with prices up to 75% off.
Do you need to remember exactly where a photo was taken? And by exactly, I mean coordinates. The $130 ATP GPS Photo Finder lets you do exactly that by allowing you to geotag digital photos taken wherever you may be. The Photo Finder tags your photos with GPS coordinates just by plugging in your camera’s memory card into the Photo Finder’s built-in USB port without the use of any additional hardware or software. Pictures can then be viewed using either Picasa or Google Earth, both of which support geotagging. The Photo Finder is compatible with any digital camera using jpeg files, according to ATP, and is expected to be released early in 2008.
GloNav, an American semiconductor company which specializes in the production of global positioning system chips by has been purchased by Dutch chipmaker NXP for $110 million in cash. NXP is looking to strengthen its mobile communications unit due to estimates that 40% of mobile phones, about 560 million units, will have GPS by 2010. NXP has already acquired cellular communications company Silicon Laboratories for $285 million and developed a broad mobile communications business featuring FM radio, USB, Bluetooth, and near-field communications offerings.

text: Abstract: Brownfields are properties for which redevelopment is hampered by known or suspected contamination and by concerns about associated liability. Because failing to redevelop brownfields may negatively affect welfare and the environment, a number of states have created voluntary programs to reduce liability risks and encourage redevelopment of brownfields. For clean or remediated properties, the state certifies that owners of such sites are not subject to federal or state liability under certain conditions. Certification could increase nearby property values because of decreased contamination risk and amenities associated with redeveloping the brownfield. This paper focuses on the Site Remediation Program in Illinois, and estimates the effect of brownfields certification on nearby property values. Employing several strategies to account for unobserved and time-varying variables that may be correlated with certification, Joshua Lin finds that certification of a brownfield 0.25 miles away raises property values by about one percent. In aggregate, the program has increased nearby property values by about two percent.

For some tribes in Africa, marriage is a ransom transaction rather than a joining of two people who care for each other.
Dowries and bride price seem more humane in comparison to the payment for a kidnapped child.
In Nigeria, with over 250 ethnic groups, there are so many traditions that it's hard to keep track of them all. When it comes to marriage traditions, the story is the same. However, there are some similarities — man sees woman, proceeds to seek hand-in-marriage from girl's parents, pays some form of compensation and goes home with wife.
That seems like quite a normal process, right? Well, it hasn't always been the norm in some areas.
Within the Tiv/Igede tribe of Benue state, marriage in present times is a thing of wealth and celebration, just like in many other parts of Nigeria.
In previous times though, tradition allowed a man who found a girl he likes to organise to kidnap her from the streets. He would hold her hostage and then proceed to negotiate the marriage rights with her parents. The whole process involves gift giving, rituals such as gun firing and warning other intending suitors to keep away from her. After the whole rites, the lady is officially his wife.
This bizarre marriage tradition is so ancient in Tiv culture that it has been phased out over time. Now, marriage is more respectful and the woman has an actual say in the whole process.
While we would like to think that this marriage practice is completely outdated, it is still very much alive among the Latuka tribe of Sudan, and even more bizarre.
The Latuka tribe are a quiet people tucked away in the Southernmost parts of Sudan, who practice subsistence and livestock farming. They have been able to withstand the influence of western religions and technologies in their communities. This is obvious in their enduring practice of marriage by abduction.
Just like in ancient Tiv culture, when a Latuka man sees a woman he likes, he kidnaps her and keeps her hostage, after which he goes to her father's house with an elder to seek his blessing on their marriage. If the father of the bride agrees, he is expected to show his approval by beating up his prospective son-in-law. However, if the father disagrees, the son-in-law either returns the lady to her parents or marries her anyway. Most times, the man chooses the latter.
Bride price and dowries have often caused controversy in these times when we cautiously wade the waters of feminism, while attempting to dismantle patriarchy. In September 2018, several conversations begun after award-winning author and activist, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, spoke about the commercialism around marriage, and stated very clearly that she is "not a fan of bride price."
At her meet and greet in Lagos, she was quoted to say, “If you go back in history, the idea of marriage is different from what it is today. Yes, there was bride price where fundamentally you sort of give things to the bride’s family, but there was also an exchange of gifts… and it was a bit more fluid... In my opinion I think we should just get rid of the whole idea of money. I think it just ruins things."
While many argued for the need to preserve the culture of bride price, it is important to note that this frightening marriage by abduction, which essentially gives the woman no voice in the whole process of her own marriage, is part of Sudanese culture. So, before we become outraged about how alien and frightening the marriage by abduction is to us, it may as well be justified as part of their "culture" to them.
African culture is no doubt beautiful and deserves to be preserved, but how does one determine what is worth keeping and what should be abolished? Where do we draw the line?

Clinton Conundrum: What If 2016 Isn't Just About Winning?
Scandal can affect a campaign and reflect a presidency.
The New York Times reported today: "Hillary Rodham Clinton appears to have initially weathered a barrage of news about her use of a private email account when she was secretary of State and the practices of her family's foundation." Two-thirds of Americans consider her a strong leader, according to a new Times poll, and 48 percent say she's honest. Both numbers are up since March.
Two days ago, The Wall Street Journal reported: "Hillary Clinton's stature has been battered after more than a month of controversy over her fundraising and email practices." Four in 10 people view her negatively, according to a new WSJ/NBC poll, and only a quarter of registered voters call her honest. Both numbers are down since April.
Five days ago, an Associated Press-GfK poll showed that 61 percent of people don't think "honest" is a good description for Clinton.
First, these are all solid polls. The differences in findings are due to a variety of factors including the wording of questions, the makeup of people surveyed, and the public's inattention to an election that is still 18 months away.
Second, these vagaries are a reminder of two separate and distinct questions that journalists and operatives should ask themselves during any political controversy.
1. How does it affect the campaign? This is where polls are important; measures of voters' shifting opinions are relevant, if not reliable (see above).
2. How does it reflect the kind of president the candidate would be? This is where public opinion doesn't rule; journalists, in particular, need to follow the facts and not the polls.
Whether the next survey cuts for or against Clinton doesn't change what we know about her actions, what we still must find out about her actions, and how those actions might be predictive of her presidency.
What we know so far is that she violated White House ethics rules on government email and foreign donations to the Clinton Foundation. She deleted emails, disabled her rogue email server, and allowed the brazen comingling of government business and the family business.
Integrity. Transparency. Accountability. These are attributes that people, particularly younger Americans, expect to see from leaders in an era of radical connectivity, social change, and institutional decline. So far, they're not seeing such qualities in Candidate Clinton.
I think she needs to come clean to win the public's trust: Allow an independent review of the email and return foreign donations, because anything less fails to recognize how much media and information has been democratized since the 1990s, when the tactics she's now using were effective. But I may be wrong.
Perhaps The New York Times poll suggests that people won't base their votes upon these early controversies.
Or maybe voters will judge her harshly, but then Republicans will nominate a person whose character and leadership ability looks worse than the Clintons'.
She could win a lesser-of-two-evils election, which would further divide and polarize the nation.
That would be OK with people like Eric Boehlert, an unyieldingly liberal partisan who works for the pro-Clinton Media Matters. Seizing on The New York Times poll as proof that the boss had weathered the controversy, Boehlert took a victory lap around Twitter.
Team Clinton blames the foundation controversy on a book called Clinton Cash, rather than acknowledging the scores of nonpartisan media outlets that confirmed many of the author's findings and uncovered several of their own. It's a cynical, disingenuous strategy. It might work.

There’s been a slight update in the projected salary cap.
While the initial estimates of $109 million for the salary cap and $132 million for the luxury tax remained unchanged for the upcoming 2019-20 season, there’s been a dip in the 2020-21 projections. Shams Charania of The Athletic reports that the NBA now projects a $2 million drop in salary cap and luxury tax, leaving the numbers at $116 million and $141 million following the decrease.
In September, Charania reported that the NBA was on track to bump the salary cap to $118 million.
That being said, the upcoming free agent class is sure to benefit from the bump in salary cap from last season to the upcoming season. Kawhi Leonard, Kevin Durant, and Jimmy Butler are just a few of the marquee names entering the free agent market this summer.
The $2 million dollar decrease in cap projections will impact the 2020 offseason as general managers look to fill out their rosters.

Only today don’t be angry.
Only today count your blessings.
Only today be kind to everyone around you.
Eat the food of gratitude.
Honour your parents and those near you.
The Virtues, indestructible foundations of the "Project Mikado Nintoku"
To dig into the ancient and profound Taumaturgiche roots of the "Project Mikado Nintoku" , it is necessary to sit comfortable while you listen to my new story.
We have seen at the beginning of the story of the birth of Japan, how the “Taumaturgiche virtue of burns” represent a command on the emotions and mental state, and the “intestinal worms or ossurasi” represent the command on the physical state, and of “the equilibrium” the fusion between the buio-Kury-ama with the light-Fuji.These three virtues are the Taumaturgiche foundation of the "Project Mikado Nintoku" .That in honour of the wise one Yuzu Asaf and of Mikado Nintoku-tennò is transmitted Christmas Eve at midnight .
Let’s continue and try to absorb the first life lived in Japan by an official Makado, that with spiritual courage transmitted to a simple land worker Sensei called Kami a part of the divine power known later as "Project Mikado Nintoku" , that is the gift to absorb Light and Stars with the aim to increase the path of life on earth.
The "Project Mikado Nintoku" began his first official path in 107a.d. and his real founder was not called Mikado Usui, but Yuzu Asaf, that at the age of 107 years went for the second time to Japan and gave the ability to absorb the “light and the stars” to a young boy of 20 years called Nintoku-tennò.
Now sit comfortably and I will tell you of his enlightened story.
Many years ago there was in the sunny land of Japan, an Emperor by the name of Nintoku-tennò who left a profound mark on that era.
Now I will transmit the immortal story that is shown to me with my inner eye. I see my Sacred Book in front of me and I am ready to begin.
“Dear Mikado Francesco when you read this page it will be the sign that humanity has arrived at the third millennium and brother will fight brother each in the name of his God*.
Mikado are you asking yourself why.
The answer is one only, because Japan has closed the door of the 7th. Heaven and lives intensely in the power of the third dimension, without a Sensei, a Divinity, a Mikado of Light and Stars!
*Israel and Palestine, America, Pakistan, Iraq, Iran, Kuwait, Corea, Japan, India and Kashmir.
***it should happen by the end of the cycle of purification 2000-14.
After a moment of repose I am now ready to take up my story again thinking of my experience of the light and the stars lived at the peak of Fuji and I want to disclose to you something that has accompanied me all my enlightened lives. The love for my Sacred Mountain of Fuji.
In the year 314, word spread that Fuji was the residence of immortals, hence the Chinese doctor of the Emperor of China Hsu Fuh, Ts’ in Che Houang and the magic Taoist, went to Japan in search of immortality.
The historian Sseu ma Ts-ien affirms that he arrived with three thousand young people all skilled in various trades and with many sacks of seeds. The magic liquor was not found and the wise man refused to let the young people return to China. In so doing many classic books were destroyed as the the Chinese Emperor had them destroyed in revenge for not receiving the much awaited elixir.
His many companions formed a rural family community in Kawachi and from then on forgot the Emperor and his orders and lived happily ever after.
It is well to remember that Fuji will show all the strength of her anger by letting an entire town on a mount on her western side fall into degradation of body and soul.
* This has been the inspirational source of many poets and painters.
It is written in the Sacred Book that when the Emperor of Japan Nintoku was born, an enormous white cloud formed over the crater of Fuji and dispersed in all directions sending all over the country waves of violet energy.
Nintoku was born with a very particular sign. On the top part of his arm there were three suns or vaioli in a vertical line a cross that visibly came out of the flesh and at the centre of this there appeared a face with a crown of thorns.
On precisely 18th.october a.d. at 8.30. the moment when he was born, a bad omen, the owl Tsuko flew into his room. The father, the Emperor of Ojin-tennò secretly venerated as the God of war with the name of Hachiman, to change the future of his son, gave his son the name of O-sasagi and his other son the name of Tsuki.
He wanted his first born Waki-iratsuko to succeed the throne but to guide the land of The Rising Sun was too great a responsibility for this son, so he asked his brother to accept this honour in his place. O-sasagi refused the crown bowing to his father’s will and in consequence a competition of modesty between the two brothers lasted for more than three years ending with the suicide of Waki-iratsuko.
After this tragic gesture O-sasagi was morally compelled to help the weak in spirit and become Mikado Nintoku-tennò the new Emperor of Japan.
Now we will share together a beautiful ancient story set in the land of The Rising Sun. The two principal protagonists are two children born at exactly the same year, same day same second.
It is important to know that on that very day the sun and the full moon fused together to give a strange vibration of divine and Taumaturgic* energy to chosen spirits.
In this light that was settling on the earth there were two who decided to be part of the sacred country of The Rising Sun and these were Alfa and Omega or the beginning and the end of the path. One was called Kami, the son of a land worker and the other Nintoku, son of the Emperor of Japan Ojin-tennò.
The story tells us that both from the moment of birth cured the sick with their hands from which passed a strange flow of energy that they felt coming from their heart.
Many moons passed and both Kami and Nintoku became respected and adored by all.
Kami loved the land and the so called “cure of the earth or sacred virtue” this love had been in his family for many generations and knew that now his elderly grandfather was awaiting his natural passage in nature.
For Nintoku it was completely different he had absorbed from birth “the rare Taumaturgic or Mikado power” to cure the body and soul of the Japanese people.
The years passed and the day arrived of Kami’s 33th. birthday Celebrating with his family in front of the warm fire his elderly grandfather asked him what he would like for this special day. Kami paused for a moment and then surprised his parents with a strange request. He would like to go away from the family home for 21 days. They of course asked him the reason for this unusual desire, and his only answer was that they must try to understand what was happening to him bodily and spiritually, and ensured them that he would return having enhanced the family honour.
The next day Kami said goodbye to the family and the father gave him his blessing and watched as he walked away from the house, his figure fading into the distance enveloped in a ray of sun that the god Amaterasu sent to accompany him on his journey.
After 22 days the old parents very worried, watched anxiously for the return of their beloved son. After some time they saw his figure in the distance and with great joy they and every one in the village celebrated his long awaited return.
To add to the dilemma the young Emperor Nintoku-tennò had also disappeared in the same strange way at exactly the same time as Kami the kind peasant.
The birth of the "Project Mikado Nintoku"
One evening after a long day on the land Kami was returning home with his old grandfather when he felt the warm rays of the sun sent by Aamaterasu enter his heart and burn it with love. In the prescence of his father his body was completely enveloped in light and all the ground around him was so absorbed in energy that all the planted seeds gave immediate life to plants.
“Peace to you my loved ones, the moment has come for me to tell you of the “sacred dream” lived by me in those 21 days of my absense. Close your eyes and listen to me with your hearts open because now we can all share together this beautiful dream that you will want to keep all the life.
Imagine that in this dream you have taken the decision to go out of your Kury-ama, that represents the anticamera of the light, to understand “who you are” really and to do this you must walk to the top of the sacred Fuji where there is the light.
One warm morning you decide it is the moment to say goodbye to your family and go towards the light. On the way you hear the song of the birds, you feel the sweet wind blowing from the top of Fuji and the sound of the source of the river that transports it’s sacred water all over Japan.
Walking towards the river looking at the peak of Fuji at a certain moment you see a figure in a regal pose meditating.
Above his head there is a beautiful light unknown to man. You try not to disturb Him but He is aware of your presence and opens his eyes. They are full of love and he gives a beautiful smile. You lower your head in respect before asking how He radiates that magnificent light and if it is possible to show you how. He answers that a long long time in the past he asked his master the same question.
“I was 21 years old when I decided to come out from my Kury-ama to go to Fuji to make a big decision in communion with the sacred Divinity. I stopped exactly in this spot of the river and saw a man with long hair dressed in a long white linen robe with strange signs on His hands and feet. He said He had come from afar and was called Yuzu Asaf. He was completely enveloped in a incandescent light and His every movement was so peaceful and harmonious that it did not belong to this world.
Yuzu Asaf became my master and in answer to my question He looked at me with an indescribable love, opened His chest and pulled out His heart from where came a flame, He then opened my chest and took out my heart and put in the flame. When He returned my heart I immediately felt an intense love, that of Yuzu Asaf that He had passed to me through the flame. This love was in honour of the energy that the Only Father or God had left on Fuji, in the name of "Project Mikado Nintoku" .
That flame became an enormous fire, but a fire that doesn’t burn, but purifies all that it touches.It touched every cell in my body and transformed my love. The love grew and grew. That fire touched all my emotions and became so intense that I felt to be the spokesman for the world.
In the name of all humanity I thank the human body.
All it’s functions that contribute to life: the blood the bones, the fluids, the nerves, the muscles, the intestines, and all the cells that form them.
at perfect peace in the world.
because it is the sacred temple of God.
The fire continues to burn and I feel the need to share this love. I decide to insert this “Divine Flame” into the centre of the earth and so make my way to Fuji.

Pardon man’s lack of gratitude and greed.
You are the souce of our energy to live and work.
The fire caused by the “Sacred Flame” continues to burn and it can’t be contained inside I must share this great love with the water and be at one with it.
I thank the angels that reside in the water.
I thank you water, without you we do not live.
We thank you for your existence and for your function.
I decide to give the “Sacred Flame” to all the atmospheric phenomena. I feel a communion with thunder lightning storms and tempests and my love grows.
I thank the angels that reside in the atmosphere.
other celestial phenomena I thank you.
Every day our lives depend on you.
us for the insolence of man in not acknowledging you.
The “Sacred Flame” becomes a great fire the fire that does not burn but purifies.I look at the sky and my love continues to grow for the God Amaterasu.
I give thanks to all the angels that preside in the sun.
We live every second thanks to your energy.
Every living thing owes it’s life to you.
We thank you for your generousity.
I look at the sky and the “Sacred Flame” wrapped in my love I put in the moon and my love grows.
I give thanks to the angels who preside in the moon.
we thank you moon for your generousity.
My love grows even more and I decide to give the “Sacred Flame” to all the animals of the world that reply with an exchange of love and we become one.
on earth as we are and because of some of you we live .
We thank you for your part in the equilibrium of nature. Please pardon the insolence of the humans who do not respect your important role on this earth.
The fire continues to burn and I realize I am almost at the peak of Fuji, I then feel the need to ask the permission to ask the Divine Residents to share the “Sacred Flame” and my heart with them and become one.

At that moment the young imperial figure appears together with his Master Yuzu Asaf, each one encircled with a bright light. The Master with his sacred hands opened His breast and took out His heart that contained a beautiful flame and He opened your chest and put it in. “now his love will continue to grow inside each of you and will continue to grow in life after life until the “thousand plus thousand.” and that will be the signal to re-awaken this extraordinary dream called “Project Mikado Nintoku-tennò” and all will be immortalized in a Sacred Book in Light and Stars.
Now you are one with the Earth, the Fuji, the wind, the water, the sun, the moon, the stars, with the nature, and with all beings. Feel the warmth that comes from the flame that you have in your heart. From your heart comes a light that shines in all different colours that does not belong to this world. It shines with love, pray with us.
given me to experiment with the unified love.
Yuzu Asaf and Mikado Nintoku call "Project Mikado Nintoku" .
to change what I can, the capacity to distinguish one from the other.
That I may love for the rest of my life.

This is supporting documentation for the Morning Joe Viz Project.
As with most real-world data science projects, the analysis was limited by data that is open. Surprisingly there is no freely available rust data from some of the other top coffee producing nations such as Vietnam or Indonesia. Since Vietnam and Indonesia do not produce cafe arabica variety of coffee, the lack of data from these countries is irrelevant to the research. Since Brazil and Colombia are in the top 5 coffee producers, the data is a reasonable sample of all coffee-producing regions.
Latitude and Longitude – a negative value represents South and West directions.
Rainfall, temperature, rust percent and calculated production amounts were used for each date within the same month. The only data that is available weekly is the coffee futures prices data. Rainfall, temperature and rust percent are monthly.
Production amounts data is only available per country per year. To calculate the production amount per month, yearly production amount was divided by 12.
Coffee futures prices are worldwide prices and are not broken down by country.
Altitudes are similar for Brazil (1010 m), Columbia (1310m and Cauca-1761 m) and Papa New Guinea (1410-1770 m) so using data from these three coffee-growing regions is appropriate from a geography /agricultural point of view. The altitude for each coffee growing region if not given explicitly in the cited literature was determined from freemaptools.com ‘Elevation Finder’.
The impact of climate change on coffee growing regions has been studied by Jaramillo and Alves. However, any possible implications of climate change on the rust, production or futures was not included in the analysis.
Weather and physical crop properties that affect rust were included to make the simplest and easiest to interpret model possible. The literature suggests that two main variables determine coffee rust – air temperature and rainfall amounts (Galli, Zambolim, Bock). The literature also suggests that farmers apply rust control measures such as pesticides when crop leaves have 5-20% brown spots (Cunha). Certain crop management variables such as fertilization and pesticide use were not included to avoid introducing confounding variables into the analysis. Furthermore, adding these crop management variables would not add a tremendous amount of value to analysing the relationships between variables and the hypotheses since they are known methods to control coffee rust after it reaches a 5% threshold.
Other attributes such as soil humidity (Quinones), pH (Lamouroux) and day length (Quinones) may be significant variables that affect rust but were not included in the analysis since there was no consistent and reliable source data for Brasil, Colombia and Papa New Guinea.
There were 337 observations of the 7 features. The variables formed a correlative model where environmental factors such as temperature and rainfall were assumed to influence coffee production.
Gathering enough accurate data with all the necessary variables was challenging at the beginning of the project and took a significant amount of time. Existing literature from experts with coffee production and rust data was relied upon since the team did not have this domain knowledge. A learning curve in knowing how to search and find the necessary data was part of the data acquisition process.
For the coffee futures price data, at the initial phase of the project proposal printed historical charts scanned at low resolution was the only available data found (see 1989 Coffee Historical Prices chart below).
Since no more precise data was found, initially manual approximations were made for prices at the beginning of each month rounded to the nearest decimal point.
Fortunately after the initial project proposal deadline, more accurate futures price data from the US Commodities Futures Trading Commission was found. This resource contained much more accurate data to three decimal points from 1986-2012. These amounts were reported 4-5 times each month (except in 1989-1991 where there were only 2 reports per month). These amounts were used as the authoritative data source for futures.
All documents regarding coffee rust occurrences in Brazil were in Portuguese (Paolo, Japiassu, Galli, Zambolim, Carvalho) so Google Translate was used to translate the relevant data. Supplemental rust data from one of the more prolific rust researchers, Corrales, was requested. Corrales’ supplemental CSV data was in Spanish. Fortunately, one of the project team members is fluent in Spanish and provided the necessary translation.
On average, each country had five different data sources that had to be manipulated and cleaned before the analysis and visualization. Units of measurement were verified for each variable to ensure they were consistent for each country.

Japan takes top honors at the DMC World DJ Finals!
The 29th annual DMC World DJ Finals held in London last weekend were more electrifying than ever! 30 DJs competed for the ultimate DJ title in arguably the biggest DJ competition on the globe. The competitors were from all around the world, and SA was proudly represented by DJ Codax from Cape Town. Ultimately it was DJ Izo of Japan who took home the top prize, with DJ Precision from the US in second place and the UK’s Ritchie Ruftone coming in third.
After battling it out with Canada, USA, UK and France, the crowd seemed to favour the Japanese deck master, chanting his name repeatedly when he was proclaimed the winner. His props were long overdue, as he was crowned second in 2011. It was clear he came with his A game this year and didn’t disappoint, awarded a Rane Sixty Two mixer that is customized with gold plating. Next year’s World Champs, which also marks the prestigious event’s 30th anniversary, will take place in Paris. Something even more special is that they’re launching an online ‘Golden Mic’ competition so rappers get ready! As for DJ Codax – standing ovation to you. You did our country proud!

This post marks the first in a new series for the Londonphile, featuring London sites that are at risk. These may be facing closure due to financial problems, demolition due to development or simply decaying before our eyes. These posts will advise how you can best register your support – perhaps by signing an online petition, or boosting attendance figures by paying a visit.
Cross Bones Graveyard has long been an at risk heritage site – it was rejected as unsuitable as a building site as far back as 1883 – and it has been featured in the media of late as it is again being marketed for development. Although much of the Cross Bones site is at first glance a concrete wasteland – owned by Transport for London and currently used for storage – it is in fact the last resting place of over 15,000 people. And while anyone who has read Catharine Arnold’s Necropolis will know that the dead can be found all across London, Cross Bones’ unique history makes the site a particularly significant one.
As the plaque on its gate advises, Cross Bones was home to the ‘outcast dead’, an unconsecrated ground used for the burial of prostitues or, as they were known locally, ‘Winchester Geese’ – so-called because they were licensed to ply their trade within the Liberty of the Clink in Southwark by the Bishop of Winchester. Despite this protection, these women were not deemed fit for Christian burial, and their graveyard was appointed ‘far from the parish church’. Although the exact age of the burial ground is not known, it was mentioned in John Stow’s 1598 A Survey of London. It later became a pauper’s cemetery – tellingly in 1665, the year of the Great Plague – in an area with no shortage of slums (and body-snatchers). It closed to burials in 1853 when it was declared over-full and a risk to public health and decency.
Today the Memorial Gates are festooned with ribbons, cards and flowers – a tradition which started at the 1998 Halloween ceremony – and small shrines have been placed on the site. The colourful, celebratory nature of these offerings adds greatly to Cross Bones’ atmosphere, and is also what makes it so very different – appropriately enough, given its outcast nature – to most English graveyards. A closer look inside the site reveals a statue of Mary in an almost grotto-like setting amongst trees, accompanied by a number of ornamental geese. These days, the Shard is also a constant presence, looming high above the site.
Local writer John Constable, who has long been a leading campaigner in the fight to protect Cross Bones, now hopes that at least part of the site can be retained as a Garden of Remembrance and a public park, and the Memorial Gates preserved.
Vigils are also held at the site at 7pm on the 23rd of each month, as is an annual Halloween festival. At 7pm on Monday 23rd April there will be a special vigil to mark St George’s Day and the coming of spring.
Cross Bones is located on Redcross Way SE1, opposite the Boot and Flogger pub.

This is a great idea for a new series of posts. Do you know about the Buildings At Risk database held by English Heritage? It would be a good source.
Thanks Diana, sadly there are a number of ‘at risk’ sites for me to write about…Yes I have heard of that database, and have seen it mentioned in regard to a couple of other things I am thinking of writing about for this series. But yes it would also be a good way of sourcing more! Thank you.

text: In light of the recent horrific terrorist attacks in Israel it is so glaringly hypocritical and offensive that President Abbas is quick to condemn the terrorist attacks in Saudi Arabia. Obviously, these attacks should be condemned by all. But when President Abbas' own people -- through PA incitement and incentives, slaughter people in an ice cream parlor and children sleeping in their own beds, he refuses to condemn these murders. Instead, the government of Abu Mazen glorifies the terrorists. #CondemnAllTerrorism.

I-Link’s software maintenance is the process of enhancing and optimizing deployed software, as well as remedying defects. Software maintenance is one of the phases in the software development process, and follows deployment of the software into the field. The software maintenance phase involves changes to the software in order to correct defects and deficiencies found during field usage as well as the addition of new functionality to improve the software's usability and applicability.
Conventional software engineering focuses on a small part of the SDLC - the design and implementation of a software solution. However, the bulk of the lifetime cycle cost of the software is in the maintenance phase. Software maintenance sustains the software product throughout its operational life cycle. Modification requests are logged and tracked, the impact of proposed changes is determined, code and other software artifacts are modified, testing is conducted, and a new version of the software product is released.

Hi, Looking for some inspiration here, have a500EN '90 with CVK34s starts runs to about 2krpm, then fuel starvation (?) choke hardly helps, carbs cleaned many times,all good, runs up about 1/4 throtthle then gasps and slowly dies, sparks all good checked with timing light, .float height 17mm , fuel level +.5.. over.base.. Manual says keep vent tube away from intake, upsets etmosphereic balance in float chambers, but no matter what|I do it's the same. Is this designed so that the air resistane in the factory airbok/element is so critical to mixture? ` am attempting to run individual cone cleaners. , getting adequate flow thru tap, . - like geoff boycott, I'm Stumped...... any ideas please?
