BIATHLETES from Haslingden High School will be putting their skills to the test against the best in Britain.
Already Rising Bridge’s Alice Harding, 15, from Year 11 is an accomplished swimmer and she put her skills to good use securing an automatic place in the final of British Schools Biathlon Championships at Crystal Palace, London.
So far she will be joined by Rochdale student Beth Hartwell, 11, from Year 7, who competed in her first biathlon in Lancaster.
The biathlon involved swimming 50m or 100m depending on age and running 800-1600m.
As other places are not decided until all the regional heats have been held it is likely the school will also have other representatives.
PE teacher Erika Wilson said: “We took part in two biathlons and 16 students and pupils from Broadway Primary School were involved in total.
“We went to the North West Championships at Salt Ayre Sports Centre, Lancaster, and then to a second biathlon at Accrington Academy.
“Alice won through automatically because of her points score and Beth was fourth in her heat and so also has her place secure.
“When Beth came to school on open night and her mum found out about the biathlon she booked her a place the next morning.
“We are waiting for the results from all the other heats and then we will probably find we have more students competing.
Ben Wilson, 11, from Year 7 was sixth in his age category and last year, when he was a pupil at Broadway Primary School he also competed at the national final.
At Salt Ayre there was also a promotion for modern pentathlon so the students got to try taster sessions in fencing and pistol shooting.
The final will be in London at the end of March next year.

The transfer Market this summer has been somewhat stalled by the ongoing Euros but as the tournament approaches its Climax the market will be reignited once again. Even though the transfer Market has been quite dull this summer due to the international football fiesta, the giants have nailed some mouth watering deals.
All those who didn’t have any idea about the capabilities of this lad can look upon him at the ongoing Euros where he has starred for the French team. He came into the team as a replacement for the suspended Adil Rami and with his spirited performances has replaced Adil Rami permanently. The Former Lyon center half has everything what Barcelona carves in their defense and looks like an exciting prospect.
The Swiss man has already been sensation for the Borussia Monchengladbach and was arguably the best performer in the Swiss jersey at the Euros. The playmaker can be a potent force for arsenal as he is not only technically gifted but can act as an engine for the team doing all the head work. The abilities that Xahaka Posses makes him a bargain even at a price tag of 35 million Euros.
Signing a player such as Nicolas Gaitan is a statement of intent and that too under the 25 million Euros tag easily makes it the best deal of the summer so far. Everyone knows the talent that this Argentinean posses as he was a power house for the Benfica team where he guided them to three league titles. Playing under Diego Simeone will spark Gaitan’s career to new heights.
The Mourinho effect is starting to show its promise as Manchester united have been able to land two blockbuster signing with the reputation of their new boss which they couldn’t during the last few years. The Armenian international was easily the pick of the players form the star studded Borussia Dortmund where he scored 41 goals in three full Bundes Liga seasons.
Signing the Swedish superman will clearly take Manchester united to the next level. Though he is in the last years of his glorifying career but this has not stopped him from playing at the absolute top. He has been a top notch stoker for the last decade and has an aura around his character which will certainly be a bonus for Manchester united next season.

Building great products starts with a great work process. We’ve broken down the steps we use to work with clients, and included a real example (company called ChatSummit) to help you visualize the process. This playbook covers the workflow of building a new product end-to-end, but we can also help with one specific area of your product, so we encourage any potential clients to read through the playbook.
Once we’ve confirmed that we’re a good fit for your project, the first step will be to start diving deeper into your ideas and overall vision. By fully understanding all the aspects of your product, business and customers, we will be able to translate your vision into a product people will love.
Who are the different types of users?
What are the specific user stories for each user persona?
What are the major features/functionalities of your product?
What is your competitive value in the market?
What problem(s) is your product solving?
Answering these questions will give us a baseline for which technologies you need, as well as a general timeline.
Example: When we first spoke with the founder of ChatSummit, we knew his overall vision was to build a community tool that helps people discover the most relevant connections within their professional networks. By answering the above questions, we were able to start bringing this idea to life in the form of a web application, that would include the most valuable features in the first version.
At this stage, we have a baseline of what we want to build. It is important for us to invest the time to create a detailed statement of work to assure that we are aligned with the client on the specifications, expectations and timeframe. A clear project plan is always easier to follow.
Once we sign the SOW, we can move on to the UX/UI and development phases.
Once we have a better understanding of the users, user stories, and features, we can start to plan out the customer journey. A customer journey will show how your users will reach their goals in your application. Thinking about the steps they will need to take, our product and design team will aim to make this journey as simple as possible. Upon mapping out the user flow, we can begin creating low-fidelity wireframes, which are black and white sketches of the screens.
What will motivate a customer to use your product?
How will we on-board the user?
What steps the user needs to take in order to get value from your product?
What is the purpose and function of each screen?
What should the call-to-actions be?
The wireframes will be our first taste of what the product can look like. They are not meant to be beautiful, but provide us with a baseline to agree on. Once we agree on the basic flow, the designers and developers can get to work making your product as beautiful as it is functional.
Example: Once we knew the features we would want in the first version of ChatSummit, we could begin to map out the customer journey. The main features included signing up to the platform, live video chat, a matching algorithm, the ability to create an online summit, the ability to invite people to the online summit, the ability to join an online summit and the ability to speak with more than one person during a summit. We then wrote out the steps that the user will need to take in order to get to the value, which was to discover new community members.
We believe that a functional user experience is key to the success of any product. If an application is beautiful, but people don’t know how to use it, then how do we keep them coming back for more? UX is at the forefront of our design process, ensuring that your product looks just as great as it is simple to use.
Customer Journey Map - Since we are already familiar with the customer journey, or steps the users will need to take in order to reach your product’s value, we will create a customer journey map. Using black and white wireframe sketches, the map will show the breakdown of all the screens and how they will interact with one another.
High-fidelity mock-ups - We will then take the black and white wireframe sketches and create colorful mock-ups of each screen, showing exactly what each fully-designed page will look like.
Interactive Prototype - We will then use a prototype tool, such as invision app, to create a first interactive model of the product. You will be able to play with the product as if it was actually built, in order to get a feel for how it will look and function. The great part about this stage, is we are able to learn quickly and go back to the drawing board if need be, without wasting any costly development time.
Example: Once we had a prototype of the ChatSummit web app, we were able to get a feel for how the product will actually look and work in real life. In playing with the product, we gained a major insight - how will people know what to talk about on the live video chat after they are matched with someone from their professional network? We then decided to add one step to the customer journey to remove this potential friction in the product. By editing the mockups at this stage, we didn’t interfere with the development.
Our team utilizes the agile methodology, which means that we work iteratively, breaking up the development into small tasks. Instead of building an entire product from start to end and then testing to see how it works, we build in short cycles, completing a small portion of the project at a time. This allows us to easily adapt to change, learn as we go and avoid wasting time.
Daily - Once a day we have a catch-up to discuss our progress, what we plan to work on that day, and any challenges that may be setting us back from achieving our goals. If there are any obstacles, we discuss how we will overcome them directly after the catch-up.
Weekly Team Stand-up - Once a week our team meets to review the previous week and prepare for the upcoming week, dividing new tasks among team members.
Weekly Client Stand-up - Once a week or every 2 weeks, depending on what is most comfortable for the client, we have a touch-base meeting to show progress and update on next steps.
Task Review - Upon the completion of every task, our project manager will review it to assure it was done accurately and is bug-free.
Trello - We use a project management tool called Trello to manage our time and tasks. Trello allows us to create tasks, assign team members to tasks, and move tasks between phases, such as: To-Do, In-Progress, In-Review and Done.
After features are completed, they are ready to be tested by our quality assurance team. In order to prepare for testing, our developers will move the features from the development environment into a staging environment. The process of transitioning the features from one environment to the next is called deployment.
After the QA team has approved the features, they will then be deployed to a production environment, which is a live environment that is exposed to real users.
In order to prepare for a smooth transition between environments, we automate most of the deployment process, making it both simple and quick.
Once moved to the staging environment, our quality assurance team will be able to review the code and check for any bugs. It is important that we monitor the engineering process and apply common methods used for ensuring high-quality software. We will only continue on to the next phase once the outcome of testing has proven to meet quality standards.
Once the features have passed all quality tests, they will be moved to the production environment, which is the actual live environment that is exposed to real users.
We recommend before launching your product, to do some beta testing internally with coworkers, friends or family. This will be a great way to test out the first version with real people and get quick feedback and insight into how it works. Often, only when playing with the finished version, do you realize something crucial is missing, or something you thought was very important isn’t so significant after all.
Example: When the first version of ChatSummit weny live, their team scheduled a few rounds of testing amongst themselves to see how it worked. They quickly learned that one of their automatic email drips was not clear enough, and left their co-workers confused at one stage of the process. By editing the copy and providing more details in the email, it made the platform much easier to use, and eliminated this friction point. The team was happy to have discovered this before the big launch.
Once features are live, it doesn’t mean our work is complete. Software development is never 100% finished and requires a certain level of maintenance. To ensure that your application operates at peak performance levels, we offer on-going maintenance and technical support.
Error monitoring and bug fixing - We will continuously monitor the software and fix any new bugs that are discovered.
Performance optimization - As your user base grows, performance will be impacted. We will make sure the servers run as they should and optimize when needed.
Enhancing current features - As users start to share their feedback or requests for new functionalities, we will enhance any features that can improve the user experience.
Implementing new features - After gathering feedback and requests, you may learn that a new feature is necessary in order to improve the user experience. By first understanding the user’s pain point, we can decide togehter if the solution is an enhancement or a new feature.
Once your product has launched and starts to gain traction, we will want to prepare the servers to respond in a certain way during both the high-volume and low-volume times.
During peak hours we will want to use more resources to assure quality performance, and during non-peak hours we will want to use less resources. In order to make this happen, we set the infrastructure to auto scale and define thresholds.
By automatically adjusting the resources based on usage, we optimize performance, save resources and further save money.
Now that you have a better idea of our work methodology and how we build successful products that people love, let’s get started on your project.

It was an up-and-down, back-and-forth, roller coaster type of season for the Lebanon Valley College men’s basketball team. But when it mattered most, the Flying Dutchmen produced.
That’s what it takes to realize a goal.
On Friday night at Eastern Connecticut State in Willimantic, Connecticut, LVC’s rewarding campaign came to a close, with an 83-63 loss to number 18 Middlebury, in the first round of the NCAA Division Three tournament. Despite 18 total points from senior center Andy Orr and 14 by Northern Lebanon product and senior guard Sam Light, Lebanon Valley was outscored 43-27 over the second 20 minutes of action.
But to reach the NCAA national postseason, the Flying Dutchmen achieved their preseason dream of winning the Middle Atlantic Conference championship, for the first time in 23 years. LVC had defeated Albright 70-68 in the conference final in Reading six days earlier.
Light was named the MVP of the MAC tournament, thanks in part to a 35-point outburst against Albright, which included seven three-pointers. Ricky Bugg contributed 11 points to the Flying Dutchmen effort.
It was Bugg who hit the most important shot of the game for Lebanon Valley, a three-pointer with ten seconds remaining that provided the decisive points. The Flying Dutchmen trailed by as many as 12 points in the first half, but closed the stanza on an 11-2 burst to trim their intermission deficit to 30-27.
LVC, the second-seed in the MAC tournament, had reached the title tilt with a 76-75 overtime victory over Lycoming, at Lou Sorrentino Gymnasium on February 21.
The Flying Dutchmen completed its season with an 18-10 overall mark.

Here at KaiNexus, we love it when our customers share with us examples of the improvement work that they are tracking and managing through our continuous improvement software.
Mary Greeley Medical Center recently shared a “Kaizen” style improvement that we really enjoyed. We’re sharing it here, with their permission.
The most recent improvement MGMC has shared with us is “A Wall of Inspiration in Radiation Oncology.” It's such a great story, we just had to share it with you, too.
A once blank wall has been decorated with words of support and encouragement, all done in varying colors and fonts, for patients and families.
Julia Wolfe, unit secretary, thought the wall would be the perfect space for something inspiring and motivational.
Julia submitted the idea via KaiNexus and then did some research on companies that could provide the lettering for the words. Radiation Oncology staff members chose the words, as well as the colors and fonts. Julia chose the cancer ribbons that border the top of the wall. Facilities staff applied the words to the wall.
“We have had so many positive comments on the wall.” While it was being installed patients told me they couldn’t wait to come the next day to see what the words were going to be,” says Julia.
Why do I love this Kaizen? Let me count the ways.
It was an opportunity that was identified by a front line staff member, Julia.
Julia got input from patients and their loved ones, to help look at things from their perspective, which led to a key insight and an idea that might not have occurred to her.
There was teamwork and collaboration from multiple departments and roles within the hospital, managed, and coordinated through KaiNexus.
It’s a small improvement, which we encourage in the Kaizen methodology (see a video we created about no idea being too small).
it’s an improvement that’s not focused on cost savings, but rather, on improving the environment and the patient experience. Our customers report enormous financial benefits, but not every improvement needs to save money.
The organization shared the idea and gave recognition, which will inspire Julia to continue implementing improvements and it will inspire others to be creative in improving their departments - turning blank walls into something inspiring.
The methodology of Kaizen is incredibly powerful in healthcare (as it is in other industries). It requires leadership and some form of technology to help make improvement happen and to spread continuous improvement more widely.
Does your organization have examples like Julia’s?
Again, thanks to Mary Greeley Medical Center and their leaders for being willing to share this example.

British Prime Minister David Cameron on Tuesday 17th November announced an additional £2 billion (2.85 billion euros) to the public spending that will finance the country’s anti-terrorism campaign.
He further pledged renewed and intensified focus on the country’s cyber security which was prompted by the discovery of PS4 use by the Paris attackers.
David Cameron, British Prime Minister announced the intensification of the counter-terrorism measures in his country. He announced this just a few days after the deadly Paris attack that was claimed by the Islamic State.
Cameron announced an additional £2 billion (2.85 billion euros) to the public spending which will be used to fund the country’s counter-terrorism forces and operations.
The additional amount will be used over the next five years to purchase weapons, weapons, protective equipment, communication and surveillance technology as well as nigh-fighting gear. Britain’s intelligence personnel are also expected to increase by 15% to enhance the preparedness of the country to preempt attacks before they happen.
This was also prompted by a propaganda video released by ISIS saying they are planning for attacks on western powers.
In the wake of Paris attack, investigation uncovered the use of PS4 as a mode of communication among the attackers this and thus the UK government has pledged increased and intensified focus on cyber security to monitor the online activity of would be attackers.
The Paris attack has been viewed as an eye-opener to countries not only to review their cyber security and preparedness to tackle attackers but also increase their manpower in the counter-terrorism departments as a way of being able to preempt would be deadly attacks on innocent people.

OverOps helps Viator replicate issues locally in their PCI Level One compliant environment.
Using OverOps, Viator is able to have a test-driven development approach for legacy code.
OverOps allows Viator to cut down time spent debugging by 90%.
OverOps alerts on every error in production, allowing the team to fix issues quickly and easily.
TripAdvisor is the world’s largest online resource and category leader for travel destination activities, reaching over 7 million global travelers per month who are seeking to find, research, and book activities and tours prior to traveling and during their trip.
Working in a PCI Level One compliant environment means that it’s nearly impossible to replicate issues locally, and it also limits production access. On top of that, there’s legacy code, when the original developer is long gone and things are being logged just-in-case, that leads to very noisy (and costly) logs. This made identifying, finding and understanding the errors and exceptions a real challenge for us.
1. Roll back the release.
2. Search for the error in the logs and code, where nothing was obvious.
3. Create a new hotfix release with extra logging.
4. Release the new version.
5. Wait for replication, which could take days.
6. Get the new verbose logs and roll back the release.
8. Finally, release the new version.
That process could take days. OverOps reduced that time to minutes, and we have everything we need to reproduce issues straight off the bat.
We saw a performance degradation following a release. We tried looking through our APM tools, but couldn’t find any obvious elements that might have caused it within the code. Then, we received an email from OverOps that showed many “gets” from a cache failing, so objects were being re-generated.
OverOps then showed us all the variable values across the callstack for that error in production, and enabled us to fix this issue quickly and easily.
Another case was after releasing a major version - We saw a sudden spike of 500 errors on one of our APIs, and our logs were filling up with exceptions. We had to roll back the release, search the logs and code, create a hotfix with extra logging, release the new version and wait for replication. That took 3 days.
Now when we release a version, OverOps alerts us about errors in real time, shows us the variables and lets us easily reproduce and solve the issue. OverOps turned days of work into minutes. Short of attaching a debugger in production, OverOps is the next best thing.
OverOps’s email digests alert us on new errors that were detected in our application during the last 24 hours. These emails also notify about specific errors that exceed target volumes that we’ve set up in advance.
With OverOps, we’ve cut down our time spent debugging and troubleshooting by 90%. This enables us to speed up development time and deliver a reliable product, while still offering an excellent user experience.

Want to know about the estimated costs of buying a house In South Africa? It is important that you are aware of the registration and transfer fees involved in the home buying process. Below is a breakdown of the cost of buying a house in South Africa.
What is the cost of buying a house in South Africa?
A deposit is the initial payment you make to secure the purchase of your property. Your deposit is not meant to cover the extra costs involved in purchasing property such as bond fees, transfer duty, attorneys costs.
The amount of your deposit depends partially on how much money you have available to put down. A deposit of 10% was considered sufficient, however, in recent years, the banks have changed their lending criteria and you may not be able to obtain bank finance without a deposit of at least 20 - 30% of the purchase price. It's advisable to try and pay in as much as possible since the bigger the deposit, the smaller the home loan repayment will be.
It is paid as an upfront fee to the transferring attorneys. They will keep the deposit in an interest-bearing trust account until the day your bond is registered and the property is transferred into your name.
The money is then paid over to the bank or directly to the seller if you are not taking out a home loan to purchase the property. The interest accrued on this amount while being in the trust account, is paid back to you.
Conveyancer's fees are charged by registration attorneys to get your bond registered over the title deeds. The amount varies according to your home loan amount. The fee is based on tariffs recommended by the Law Society, but may differ slightly from one law firm to another.
These fees are paid to the registering (bond) attorneys before registration of your bond.
The registering (bond) attorneys charge a levy to cover small things like posting documents to other conveyancers, the bank, the estate agent, the Deeds Office, and to you. The amount is usually fixed and each law firm has its own rates. The fees are due to the registering (bond) attorneys prior to bond registration.
This fee is charged by the Deeds Office for the legal registration of your mortgage bond. This is a fixed amount calculated on the value of your home loan. For example, if your home loan is R 150 000.00 and below, the fee is R 310.00. Or, if your home loan is between R 600 000.01 and R 800 000.00, the required fee fee is R 700.00. Buyers can make payments to the registering (bond) attorneys before the bond is registered. The money is then paid to the Deeds Office.
Transfer duty is a government tax charged on property that is transferred from the seller's name into the buyer's name. It generally constitutes the major portion of the costs involved. If the seller is registered as a VAT vendor, no transfer duty is payable. In such a case, the seller must have included VAT in the purchase price. This is usually the case when buying property in a new development – the developer is generally VAT registered.
The transfer duty rates applicable have changed as per the 2017 budget. Click on this link to access all the updated transfer duty rates applicable on property acquired on or after 1 March 2017.
No transfer duty is payable if the transaction is subject to VAT. The fees must be paid to the transferring attorneys before homeownership changes. The money will then go the South African Revenue Services (SARS).
No transfer duty is payable if the transaction is subjected to VAT. Transfer duty is also applicable when a buyer resells a property prior to the transfer of property. A purchaser who buys property on behalf of a someone else must submit a nomination within 24 hours if they want to avoid paying transfer duty.
Transferring conveyancer's fees are paid for the service the transferring attorneys provide to transfer ownership of a property and to get the property registered in your name. The amount varies according to the purchase price of the property. The fee is based on tariffs recommended by the Law Society, but may differ slightly from one law firm to another. Attorney’s Fees are always subject to VAT being added. Conveyance fees are due before transfer of the property and must be paid directly to the transferring attorneys.
The transferring attorneys charge a fee to cover small things like posting documents to other conveyancers, the bank, the estate agent, the Deeds Office, and to you. The amount is usually fixed and each law firm has its own rates, Attorney fees are always subject to VAT being added. These levies are payable to the transferring attorneys before transfer of the property.
This fee is charged by the Deeds Office for the title deed, legal transfer and registration of the property home into your name. It is a fixed amount based on the value of your home loan. For example, on a bond under R 100 000.00 and below the fee can be R 35.00. And, for a bond of between R 600 000.01 and R 800 000.00 the fee will be R 815.00.
It is an upfront fee, payable before transfer of the property. The transferring attorneys receive the money and transfer it to the Deeds Office.
A home loan initiation fee is charged by the bank for processing of the home loan application. You will need to pay the home loan initiation fee even if the home loan is rejected by the bank. Some banks work on a base fee plus a percentage of the loan amount, while other banks charge a flat rate. But, the maximum initiation fee charged will not exceed R 5 985.00 (Including VAT). It will be in your best interest to budget for this amount.
It is a once-off fee payable upon registration of your bond. The amount will most likely be debited to your home loan account or added to your outstanding balance.
An administration fee is charged by the bank for administering the home loan account. You can expect to pay anywhere between R 40.00 and R 60.00 per month, depending on whether you have taken out the bank’s in-house homeowners insurance. The service fee may be reduced if you make use of the bank’s insurance. The amount will most likely be debited to your home loan account.
The bank will insist that you take out a homeowner's insurance policy to cover the property and the permanent structures on it against natural disasters such as fire or storm damage. The amount will vary depending on the value of your property and will likely be debited to your home loan account by the insurance company.
If you don't already have a life assurance policy to cede as security, you need to take out home loan protection assurance against death only, disability only, retrenchment only, death and disability, death and retrenchment, disability and retrenchment, or death, disability & retrenchment.
The amount depends on the outstanding balance of your home loan and will most likely be debited from your home loan account. Depending on the home loan package, some of the options mentioned above can be absorbed into the mortgage loan. Speak to your banker or financial adviser for more information and to double check these costs.
This charge covers all rates and taxes that need to be paid in advance by the buyer. The amount payable for rates and taxes vary from one local authority and is calculated according to the valuation of the property. But, you can expect to pay roughly R 5 000.00 per property. It is a once-off fee that must be paid to the transferring attorneys or directly to the local authority.
● Moving Costs The removal company will charge a once-off fee for the removal of household goods. Contact the removal company for a quotation.
● Telephone/Web Connection & Deposit Contact a Telkom Office or other service providers near you for their rates.
● Water & Electricity Deposit Contact your local municipality to find out what the amount is.
Occupational interest is payable if you take occupation of the property before the actual transfer of the property into your name. The amount of occupational interest due to the seller should be stipulated in the ‘Offer to Purchase’ agreement.
It can be a fixed amount, usually calculated as either the amount of the seller's mortgage loan repayment on the property or 1% of the purchase price. Or, it can be subjected to an escalation if registration of transfer has not taken place within a certain period (this may apply when the occupational interest amount is less than the seller's bond repayments).
The money is paid monthly in advance, to either the estate agent or the registering (bond) attorneys, or directly to the seller.
Once you know and understand all the different fees involved with the sale of a property, you'll have a much better grasp of the home buying process. The cost of buying a house in South Africa can be overwhelming but fortunately you can get a head start on your budget by taking advantage of Private Property’s bond calculator and affordability calculator.
Prospective homebuyers should lay the groundwork in order to have the best chance of getting a home loan approved.
Buying a home is an exciting time, though there are often added costs than just the purchase price of the property.

The Golden Globe Nominations Have Been Revealed! Lets Do the Happy Dance--Awards Season Has Begun!
It's the most wonderful time of the year! For me, awards season is like Chrismukkah, the Super Bowl (even though I don't watch sports—I love the excitement) and my birthday all rolled into one! The SAG award nominations kicked off awards' season yesterday and today, the Golden Globe nominations were announced. We still have to wait until January 15 for the big show (hosted by loose cannon Ricky Gervais) but there are lots of happy surprises and lots of close races in both the TV and movie categories to ensure it's going to be one interesting night. So lets dive right into the top 5 things we are most excited to see on the nomination list!
This is Zooey Deschannel's year! The "adorkable" one earned herself a Best Actress, TV Comedy nom and New Girl is up for Best Comedy. Zooey is up against Tina Fey and Amy Poehler but I really think that she can hold her own against those fan faves.
Holy close race for Best Actor in a Motion Picture, Drama! The contenders are Brad Pitt (Moneyball), George Clooney (The Descendants), Ryan Gosling (The Ides of March), Leonardo DiCaprio (J. Edgar) and Michael Fassbender (Shame). Tough, tough decision for the Hollywood Foreign Press here that I don't envy. Would love to see any of these guys at the podium!
Bridesmaids rules! After their much deserved SAG nomination yesterday, the summer hit carries it's legacy on. Go Kristin Wiig for scoring Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy and the movie itself is in the much deserved Best Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy category. I would have like to have seen Melissa McCarthy earn a nom for Best Supporting Actress but I won't let that get me down!
American Horror Story didn't scare away a nomination for Best TV Series, Drama! Okay, perhaps that was a horrible pun but fans of the show know that it's one of the most original, entertaining, shocking and down right freakiest shows to make it on TV. Oh and Jessica Lange scoring a nom for Best Supporting Actress in a Series, Miniseries, or TV Movie is just so well deserved. No one plays a woman scorned like she does!
And shout out to Johnny Galecki of The Big Bang Theory! We love Jim Parsons but he's gotten tons of praise--and Emmy awards too--so it's high time that Johnny gets some props too!
To see the complete list of nominations, check out the Golden Globes web site and let us know what you think? Anyone you think got snubbed? Any noms you're particularly psyched about? Tell me all in the comments section!

Sidney Greidanus’ From Chaos to Cosmos is the latest installment in the Short Studies in Biblical Theology series. Though I haven’t read the others in this series, I can see that this series is incredibly practical for those who are teaching the Bible regularly. Greidanus focuses almost exclusively on scripture, packing this short book with selected texts from Genesis 1 to Revelation 22 which evoke the chaos-cosmos theme.
Starting in Genesis, Greidanus selects words from the creation account that signal chaos: darkness, without form, void, the deep/waters/seas, references to Rahab, giant sea creatures, and Leviathan. All of these “building blocks of chaos” are actually created by God. Rather than ancient myths which see chaos as preexistent, God creates the chaos and then out of them calls to order the cosmos of creation. Then, throughout the scriptures, God uses the forms of chaos to display his glory through judgment and salvation. God also rebukes the chaos to provide order and display his glory through glimpses of the full glory of the cosmos He is capable of creating.
Greidanus builds a beautiful image of Jesus, the Word of God (logos) who was present at creation when the waters were given clear boundaries, present at the Red Sea when God displayed his power to rebuke the chaos of the water so His children could walk through but the Egyptians drowned, and then visibly present when he walked upon the sea and rebuked the wind and waves. This is just one stirring example of the way the chaos-cosmos theme cuts across scripture, drawing parallels between Old and New Testament passages and pointing ultimately towards Christ.
Obviously aimed towards preachers and teachers, this succinct book covers a lot of ground in a short space. Any teacher would benefit from seeing scripture again through this theme and would be able to glean insights that can fit right into their next sermon or lesson. But those who wish to use this theme as a sermon series will appreciate Greidanus’ helpful final chapter that lays out the key passages in this theme and provides a clear list of ways to get to Christ from any of these passages. I happen to live with a pastor, and he saw immediate ways to use the pages of this book that he read.

My American Girl-loving daughter had been to lunch at American Girl Place, but I hadn't. Frankly, I wasn't that excited about going. The whole American Girl experience seems so over-hyped. It's why we haven't written much about the American Girl company or the glitzy store at 111 E. Chicago Ave.
But in the interests of thorough reporting (and to the delight of my daughter, Tess, 9), we headed downtown for tea and a show as the guests of American Girl.
Now I'm a convert. Yes, the store is overrun with girls, their moms and grandmoms all burdened by red shopping bags. Yes, you can spend a fortune there. But you also can spend nothing and simply wander past the historical displays and let your daughter tell you about each of the dolls, who they are, when they lived and which accessories go with them.
Then you can sit down (with your doll, if you remembered to bring it, or with a loaner doll if you didn't) for a lovely tea with your favorite little girl. On the table is a small box of conversation starters. It includes questions such as“What is your biggest dream?” that might have been met with an eye roll from my very sophisticated 9-year-old if I had attempted to ask them outside of the magic of the American Girl Cafe.
After tea, it was on to“The American Girls Revue.” These girls, ages 7-13 (and four adults), were incredibly talented and the show was impressive. The 75 minutes sped by as we watched these girls pretend to be members of an American Girls club introducing their dolls' stories to a newcomer.

Scientific Computing Laboratory provides high performance computing and storage facilities for eScience research. In total, more than 1000 CPUs and 50 TB of storage capacity are logically divided into three Grid sites (AEGIS01-IPB-SCL, AEGIS07-IPB-ATLAS, and AEGIS08-IPB-DEMO) and one local cluster.
AEGIS01-IPB-SCL Grid site consists of 89 worker nodes (2 x quad core Xeon E5345 @ 2.33 GHz with 8GB of RAM) and 15 service nodes (Xeon-based nodes). As the largest Grid site in Serbia, it is the Tier-0 site in the Serbian Grid infrastructure, providing all core services and management of national AEGIS Virtual Organization. All computing and core service nodes at AEGIS01-IPB-SCL Grid site are interconnected by the star topology Gigabit Ethernet network through three stacked high-throughput Layer 3 switches, each node being connected to the switch by two Gigabit Ethernet cables in channel bonding. In terms of storage resources, AEGIS01-IPB-SCL provides 27 TB of disk space to the Grid community. The site uses Scientific Linux 5.4 with gLite 3.2 middleware, and supports national AEGIS, regional SEE, SEEGRID, SGDEMO, METEO, ENV, SEISMO, pan-European ATLAS and CMS, and DESKTOPGRID Virtual Organizations.
AEGIS07-IPB-ATLAS is the second-largest Serbian Grid site is based on 128 Intel Xeon processors with 32-bit architecture and the total of 96GB of RAM. The site supports several virtual organizations, but is mainly dedicated to the ATLAS VO community of the CERN LHC experiment.
AEGIS08-IPB-DEMO Grid site is used purely for educational/training purposes. It is based on Xen virtual machines deployed on a single node with two Intel Xeon Quad-core CPUs with 16 GB of RAM. It is used in various training events for demonstration of installation and configuration of different Grid services.
Local cluster consists of several nodes based on the new computing architectures: IBM POWER6, PowerXCell, the latest Intel, and AMD Opteron CPUs. The hardware is located in one IBM BladeCenter, and in several separate 1U rack-mount servers. IBM BladeCenter has three kinds of servers (two Intel Xeon E5405, two POWER6, and two IBM PowerXCell 8i processors) within the H-type chassis, and one server based on latest Intel Nehalem Xeon processor with InfiniBand interconnection. In terms of storage resources, local cluster has 20TB storage capacity interconnected with 10 Gigabit Ethernet, as well as with the rest of the infrastructure.

Pale and ghostly, ultradiffuse galaxies, such as this one in the Coma cluster, abound in large numbers, but no one knows exactly how they arose. Credit: Hubble Space Telescope. NASA, ESA, and Pieter van Dokkum (Yale University) et al.
Van Dokkum’s favored scenario is that ultradiffuse galaxies are failed giants. In this model galaxies as massive as the Milky Way failed to light up because they had the misfortune to fall into a galaxy cluster, which stripped them of their gas. Without large amounts of gas, such galaxies could not spawn new stars, so these giants faded into their present dim, diffuse state.
The key to the new proposal is spin. Different dwarf galaxies are born spinning at different speeds. As a large object—galaxy, star, or planet—contracts under the force of gravity, the conservation of angular momentum magnifies any slight initial rotation into a significant, measurable spin. If a dwarf happens to be born spinning slowly, gas plunges toward the galaxy's center, forming stars over a compact region. But if a dwarf is born spinning fast, infalling gas instead keeps its distance from the galaxy’s center, forming stars over a much larger volume. In the new proposal, which Amorisco and Loeb recently published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, ultradiffuse galaxies are the dwarfs born spinning so fast they formed their stars over a truly vast expanse. “I like the idea, because it’s testable,” van Dokkum says. “I kind of hope it’s not true, because to me it’s a less interesting option” than the failed-giant scenario.
The new theory makes a simple prediction about ultradiffuse galaxies: If they are dwarfs, “they should be everywhere,” Amorisco says. In contrast, if the galaxies are failed giants that owe their existence to the gas-stripping influence of galaxy clusters, then galaxy clusters should be the only cosmic homes for ultradiffuse galaxies. Galaxy clusters have so much gravitational pull that they are hard to escape—once a galaxy falls in, it cannot climb back out. So far, nearly all known ultradiffuse galaxies have turned up in clusters rather than in more modest galactic gatherings known as groups, but others may pop up elsewhere as astronomers begin to search for them more thoroughly.
Another way to distinguish between failed giants and fast-spinning dwarfs is to measure the mass of an ultradiffuse galaxy—something that Michael Beasley of the Institute of Astrophysics of the Canary Islands and his colleagues recently accomplished. Beasley’s galaxy lies in the Virgo cluster of galaxies and is about 8 percent as massive as the Milky Way. According to Loeb, this supports the idea that the galaxy formed as a fast-spinning dwarf, but van Dokkum says the galaxy is anomalously dim even by ultradiffuse standards, making it an unsuitable outlier from which to make major extrapolations about the class as a whole. “It’s fascinating that people cite the same galaxy to support such different ideas,” van Dokkum says.
Normally, such a ghostly galaxy would be too difficult for observers to weigh but Beasley's team circumvented that problem by measuring how fast seven bright globular star clusters are orbiting the galaxy. Van Dokkum says the very presence of globular clusters supports his view that ultradiffuse galaxies are giants, because most dwarf galaxies don't have any. But Amorisco counters that Beasley’s galaxy has far fewer globular clusters than giant galaxies typically do.
Van Dokkum hopes to have an answer soon. During January, March, and April of this year, he and his collaborators stared at three ultradiffuse galaxies in the Coma cluster with the mammoth Keck Telescope for a lengthy 34 hours. “That's what it takes,” he says. After analyzing the data, he should know how fast the stars of those galaxies move, and thus how massive their hosts are—revealing whether or not this newly recognized breed of galaxies are fast-spinning dwarfs or instead a race of giants that failed to shine. Stay tuned.

Atypical chemokine receptor that controls chemokine levels and localization via high-affinity chemokine binding that is uncoupled from classic ligand-driven signal transduction cascades, resulting instead in chemokine sequestration, degradation, or transcytosis. Also known as interceptor (internalizing receptor) or chemokine-scavenging receptor or chemokine decoy receptor. Has a promiscuous chemokine-binding profile, interacting with inflammatory chemokines of both the CXC and the CC subfamilies but not with homeostatic chemokines. Acts as a receptor for chemokines including CCL2, CCL5, CCL7, CCL11, CCL13, CCL14, CCL17, CXCL5, CXCL6, IL8/CXCL8, CXCL11, GRO, RANTES, MCP-1 and TARC. May regulate chemokine bioavailability and, consequently, leukocyte recruitment through two distinct mechanisms: when expressed in endothelial cells, it sustains the abluminal to luminal transcytosis of tissue-derived chemokines and their subsequent presentation to circulating leukocytes; when expressed in erythrocytes, serves as blood reservoir of cognate chemokines but also as a chemokine sink, buffering potential surges in plasma chemokine levels (By similarity).

Also known as Atypical chemokine receptor 2 (C-C chemokine receptor D6) (CCR10-related receptor) (Chemokine-binding protein 2) (Chemokine-binding protein D6).
CCBP2: Receptor for C-C type chemokines including SCYA2/MCP-1, SCY3/MIP-1-alpha, SCYA5/RANTES and SCYA7/MCP-3. Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.
Also known as Atypical chemokine receptor 3 (C-X-C chemokine receptor type 7) (CXC-R7) (CXCR-7) (Chemokine orphan receptor 1) (G-protein coupled receptor 159) (G-protein coupled receptor RDC1 homolog) (RDC-1).
CMKOR1: Receptor for chemokines CXCL12/SDF1 and CXCL11. Does not elicit classical chemokine receptor signaling; chemokine binding does not activate G-protein-mediated signal transduction but instead induces beta-arrestin recruitment, leading to ligand internalization and activation of MAPK signaling pathway. Acts as a scavenger for CXCL12/SDF1 and, to a lesser extent, for CXCL11. Required for regulation of CXCR4 protein levels in migrating interneurons, thereby adapting their chemokine responsiveness.

Combining these medications, especially over a prolonged period, may increase the risk of dehydration and hypokalemia, or low blood potassium. In severe cases, hypokalemia can lead to muscle weakness, paralysis, breathing and swallowing difficulties (due to muscle paralysis), and irregular heart rhythm. Contact your doctor if you experience nausea, vomiting, dry mouth, thirst, decreased urination, constipation, abdominal cramping, confusion, dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, muscle weakness, muscle cramps, numbness or tingling, rapid heart beat, chest pain, and/or swelling in the legs or feet, as these may be symptoms of dehydration and hypokalemia.

How much are you willing to see the illusion you are living? How much do you shield the illusion that you are living? How much?
If you look you will see that you shield an illusion of you throughout the day. You trade truth and honesty for comfort and familiarity. You literally trade it; you trade illusion with being true. You actually prefer comfort and familiarity (illusion) to being true. Have a look!
You actually prefer to keep your self comfortable rather than move what you are into life on every level and with everyone on the planet. Look at today alone to see where you traded illusion for being true, where you traded honesty for having comfort, honesty for having familiarity.
You believe that you can be familiar with what You really are, but you can't… that creates an illusion! So on some levels you want to stay true and on other levels you want to stay in the illusion and you keep the illusion moving when it is actually quite clear how to live a life of Truth in the simple honesty to what you are knowing is true, regardless of what you protect as an illusion, your sense of need of a security, your sense of need for security on any level.
Security is always about a ‘me’ - me in business, me with the kids, me with someone else, me and society... It's always about 'me'. It comes straight back to that.
Are you willing to surrender the totality of the illusion, letting go of all your filters, all your boundaries on every levels of life? From partnership to business, to kids to society and all manner of relatedness, to totally surrender the illusion that you are a me and be true? How often do you trade that during your day - still moving with the world, still moving with the me, still moving with structure, still moving with things that are just so illusory? You know and yet still do it. You're only true where you want to be true and you're only honest where you want to be honest.
Not a little question is it?
Are you prepared to give that illusion up no matter what discomfort your self might feel?
Are you willing to bring True Love to this planet, which actually IS You? Are you willing to do that or do you still prefer being familiar?
How much would life change? How much would it change if you gave up the illusion?
Do you fear that if you gave up the illusion in honesty on every level to your Being that there wouldn't be anything left for you? Or are you afraid that all that would be left would be YOU, ‘What You Really Are’? Life is not about sustaining the illusion. Why create an illusion?
We believe that we can keep things for a rainy day on many different levels, forever creating more illusion instead of moving ‘What We Are’ into this life. Truly consider how much this would change what you do every day. I suggest that it would change 95% of what you do. You couldn’t do ‘the same old thing’ anymore. You would be giving so much. So much! You would no longer count the cost of how much you are giving, what you are being, what you are moving.You would be LIVING What You Are. The illusion would fall away.
Ask yourself what are you waiting for?
From NZ Session May 2016 Shielding The Illusion.

New in Germany, Austria or Switzerland and on a housing search?
We will show you how to find your perfect home.
Finding a house is often a difficult affair. Especially in large cities and urban areas one finds a tense housing market. The high demand for housing seekers meets a low supply of affordable housing. It is even more difficult to find a place to stay in a foreign country.
You can get an initial overview of the housing market in your destination on various internet portals for Germany and Switzerland.
Here you can refine your search by different criteria (price, number of rooms, square meters or district). To translate websites use Google iTool.
A list of all abbreviations that can be found in apartment listings is available here.
Of course, there are also a few portals that allow you to search for accommodation in English. These include Athome.de for Germany or homegate.ch for Switzerland.
If there are still linguistic or other problems with the search for accommodation, cities or social offices, such as Cologne or the welfare Office Nuremberg, provide assistance with housing mediation.
In case of problems for housing seekers in Switzerland, various portals offer answers to many questions.
3. In which part of the city do you want to stay?
An important decision that needs to be taken into consideration during the search for accommodation in Germany and Switzerland is in which part of the city you want to move. In large cities in particular, there are a large number of districts that offer different living conditions.
Would you like to stay close to a wide range of bars and restaurants? Or rather on the outskirts of the countryside?
Which traffic connection is important to you?
Which people should be their neighbors?
On the Internet, you can find out a lot about the various parts of the cities in Germany and Switzerland. Find out beforehand which aspects are important to you, so that you will feel comfortable in your new city.
The search for accommodation for foreigners is not only complicated by language barriers, but often there is no knowledge about the rental prices in Germany. Here, the rental level, which is available for the search for accommodation in Germany and Switzerland, helps. It specifies the local comparative rent, i.e. how high an average 3-room apartment is in a particular city. This is often indicated directly on the apartment portals. Inform yourself about the rental mirror so you don’t have to pay too much for your apartment.
5. Who can help with legal problems?
After the search for accommodation in Germany or Switzerland, comes the move to the new home. Unfortunately, sometimes not all problems have ended, but new ones are added.
Is the neighbour too loud?
Will the landlord suddenly increase the rent?
What rights and obligations do I have as a tenant?
What can the landlord do? What is he not allowed to do?
The first source of information is the websites of the Swiss and German tenancy law.
Once more serious legal problems arise, so that you need legal support, in Germany the German tenant confederation or other tenant associations, which exist in many cities and where one for a small annual contribution can become a member.
In Switzerland, there are among other things the tenants ‘ association Switzerland, which also helps in legal disputes.

Swaziland's King Mswati III has chosen an 18-year-old beauty pageant contestant as his 14th wife, a palace spokesman says, days before a much-criticised parliamentary vote.
"I can confirm that the king has introduced to the nation a new liphovela (royal fiancee)," said Ludzidzini palace governor Timothy Mtetwa on Tuesday.
Mr Mswati, a 45-year-old who is sub-Saharan Africa's last absolute monarch, introduced Sindiswa Dlamini at a Reed Dance celebration over the weekend, Mr Mtetwa told AFP.
She wore red feathers on her head - a sign of royalty.
The young woman graduated from Mbabane's St Francis High School last year and is a finalist in the Miss Cultural Heritage beauty pageant. The winner will be announced on September 28.
The king has come under fire for his household's lavish lifestyle while the tiny mountain kingdom's 1.2 million people struggle to make a living.
Mr Mswati reportedly has a personal fortune of around $US200 million ($215.78 million) and the UN estimates that 70 per cent of his 1.2 million subjects live below the poverty line.
He has steadfastly resisted reforms.
The new engagement was announced at a festival which also counted regional delegates who will observe parliamentary elections on Friday.
Critics have slammed the polls as a sham, partly because political parties are banned and candidates are hand-picked by traditional leaders.
The weekend's celebrations were a smaller repeat of last month's official annual Reed Dance, where young virgins from across the kingdom gather and dance for the king.
"It just happened that the international community was there to witness the event," said Mr Mtetwa.
The wedding only takes place once the fiancee falls pregnant. Ms Dlamini will then become Mswati's 14th wife.
The monarch's colourful private life is off-limits to local media, but has drawn a lot of international interest.
Three wives left the household in recent years. The latest, Queen LaGija, fled the palace in 2012 claiming years of physical and emotional abuse.
Another queen, LaDube, was reportedly abused after she was caught in bed with the justice minister, a close friend of the king.
Mr Mswati had kidnapped and married the queen when she was 16 in 2005.

David Whyte has had a fascinating life. He grew up traipsing through the moors of Yorkshire, England and was pulled into the world of travel one day as he watched Jacques Cousteau on television. David’s work as a marine zoologist took him to the Galapagos Islands, and his curiosity took him to the Himalayas where he explored temples and Zen Buddhism. David uses all of his experiences when he writes poetry, even those that scared him.
How many times do you come to a place in your life where you are afraid to move forward? Where you’d rather do anything, no matter how difficult, than take that next step? What resources can you call on to take you over that bridge? In this poem, David invites the reader to share his experience of an impossible bridge in the Himalayas. I hope you are inspired with the way he handles his challenge.
