The White Review Short Story Prize is an annual short story competition for emerging writers. For the first time in 2017, the White Review Short Story Prize will be running concurrently on both sides of the Atlantic, with the usual competition running in Britain and Ireland, and a separate contest taking place simultaneously in the US & Canada.
The White Review Short Story Prize was established with support from a Jerwood Charitable Foundation Small Grant in 2013. The prize awards £2,500 to the best piece of short fiction by a writer resident in Britain & Ireland who has yet to secure a publishing deal. The US & Canada prize will award US$3,000 to the best piece of short fiction by a writer resident in North America who has yet to secure a publishing deal.
In both cases, the judges will be looking for short stories that explore and expand the possibilities of the form. We encourage submissions from all literary genres, and there are no restrictions on theme or subject matter. We would only emphasise that the prize was founded to reward ambitious, imaginative and innovative approaches to creative writing.
Both winning stories will be published in a quarterly print issue of The White Review. Shortlisted writers will have their work published online and receive feedback from the editors of THE WHITE REVIEW.
MITZI ANGEL is the publisher at Faber & Faber.

My article made the cut for this Sampan Edition. Some people have commented that my blog rambles. I will admit that when someone edits my stuff, it's a lot less rambling. This week for the sweep up I got a video on go pro... I even edited it. Then I exported it. And once I figure out what that means and how I can get it onto this blog, you can see a little video of us sweeping the street. As I right this, I realize that I edited out an argument over a parking spot... and that most people would probably be more interested in that clip I took out, than the rest of video.
By the way, I could really use some other contributors or write-ins to this blog. It would be awesome if we had different personalities and viewpoints. Even if they were anonymous. Obviously there are a lot of people who are way better at making videos and taking pictures than me, and that would be cool too.
If you have a youtube or a vimeo account, you can always upload the video there and then link it or embed it the blog. Also, I would be happy to contribute!

Two distinct versions of TR's debut LP were released. Here are the differences and how to tell if you have a "rare" one.
Side A has 7 bands, side B has 5.
I've digitized the "bonus" tracks in both AIFF-Compressed format (smaller) and Windows Wave (more portable). And have added Real Audio (smaller yet, and better quality). There's still a lot of "pop" sounds, but after all, they're from a 25 year old LP! Just click on the sample size desired to hear 'em.
Most of the tracks marked "no difference" actually are different mixes. This is sort of referred to, I believe, in the notes on the inner sleeve of the "official" version, which say: "Remixed at Record Plants in N.Y. and L.A. and RE-REMIXED at Jack Clement Studio in Nashville".
There are several versions of the "official" pressing, some of which might possibly be bootlegs -- those are on really horrid vinyl, were not cut at "Sterling", and have the grooves spaced differently, ending farther away from the label. And there are versions on the Ampex and Bearsville/Ampex labels.
As a long time fan of Todd and his body of music, I have amassed a large collection of his material, and in many varying forms. I have had a nagging question about one piece in mind, and were wondering if you could help me clear it up. It concerns the album Runt, and the material therein. Many reference books and supposed authorities conclude that the 12 track master with the song "Hope I'm Around" erroneously on side "a" and "Say No More" etc. on side "b" is the original first pressing. I take issue with that assumption, since 11-20-70 is etched in each trail off on my copy. The copies I have, that are 10 track masters, claimed to be second pressings by many authorities, have a 6-6-70 or 6-8-70 mastering date in the dead wax. That would be a clear indication to me that the 10 track master would be the original release, as they are also very abundant. However what would be the real reason for the mix-up in the later pressings, that contain 11 or 12 tracks? I also have an 11 track copy with a June side "a" and a November side "b" (on the hybrid copy the November date is 11-23-70, and is very clearly that, with the standard June stamper on side a.) Hence "Say No More " is on it, but not "Hope I'm Around". Can you shed any light on this matter for me?
Broke Down & Busted (121K AIFC) (363K Wave) Short vocal intro extracted from "There Are No Words".
The rest of the song is the same.
Once Burned Switched with "Who's That Man?"
Who's That Man? Switched with "Once Burned"
Hope I'm Around (979K AIFC) (2.8MB Wave) Alternate version of tune that eventually appeared on "Ballad"
"The Last Thing You Said/Don't Tie My Hands"

The youngest of six children of the late Margaret and Lennox Gavan (1992 Hall of Fame Inductee), Gail's childhood and early teen years reverberated with the sounds of various genres of music at the well-known Gavan's Hotel in Quyon, Quebec. She grew up listening to live Classic Rock and Country bands in the famous Shamrock Lounge. Her musical education also included Irish, logging and Ottawa Valley songs taught to her by her father. Gail absorbed those early influences and was soon asked to guest with bands like Howard Hayes, Mick Armitage Band, and Ambush. Her numerous accomplishments include placing 2nd in the Canadian Open Singing Contest in 1989, and in 1991, winning the CKBY Bud Country Talent Search at the Gatineau Clog, subsequently placing in the top 10 in Canada. Gail released 3 compilation CDs of popular house party songs entitled "For the Love of the Valley- Vol. I, Vol. 2" and "For The Love of the Valley Irish"-Vol. 3. She has sold over 20,000 of these CD's , literally out of the trunk of her car!
Gail has opened for many Nashville stars like George Jones, Tom T. Hall, Merle Haggard and Charlie Pride, and has performed at almost every fair in the Ottawa Valley. In 1993, she hosted "Gail Gavan and Friends" on CHRO Pembroke and co-produced and wrote the theme song for another TV show, "Fred's Place", based on her uncle Fred's famous hotel in Chapeau, Quebec. It aired nationally, winning an Independent Producer's Award in Jasper, Alberta. This lead to her becoming the co-host for CBC's "Cottage Country" which had 1/2 million viewers nationally each week!
In 1994, she was voted Entertainer of the Year by the Ottawa Valley Music Association and, in 1998, she hosted and performed in Bosnia with the DND Canadian Peacekeeper Tour. Gail sang the National Anthem in front of the Queen on Canada Day in 2010. With the Ryan Brothers and Louis Schryer, she opened for Pam Tillis, Gene Watson, Sammy Kershaw, Marty Stuart and Lorrie Morgan, among others. In addition, she performs a live show for corporate clients called, "Canada Coast to Coast" at venues like the Museum of Civilization, the Marriott, and Hotel Lac Leamy.
Gail was inducted into the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame in 2010.
Gail has written an anti-bullying song, "Bully, Bully" that is being used by many schools to promote a positive message to their students.
Gail teaches French during the day to amazing young ladies at Elmwood School .
There she composes French children's songs and thoroughly enjoys teaching her students French songs from Canada and France.
Gail believes that her passions for singing, song-writing, and teaching French complement each other in a dynamic and unique way!

On Wednesday, Pinecrest, the suburban city of 20,000 people, introduced door-to-door Freebee shuttle service. Freebee already operates in the suburban cities of Key Biscayne and Coral Gables, and in Miami Lakes, where they have municipal deals in place. Freebee also operates in a special Coconut Grove business improvement district. The cities have been using municipal funds to subsidize rides, but now they can tap into transportation dollars to do so.
Freebee also operates on the Island of Islamorada in the Florida Keys, in neighboring Monroe County.
Riders request rides via an app, and the shuttles operate within set boundaries and during set operating hours. The shuttles look like large golf carts and have room for a driver and five passengers. The shuttles are free for passengers, but they are encouraged to tip their drivers.
“Almost every municipality in Miami-Dade is talking to us, from Miami Gardens down to Homestead,” Freebee partner Jason Spiegel told the Herald. He co-founded Freebee in 2012.
I don’t see how a wheelchair user could ride in these. It violates federal law to use transit dollars on inaccessible transportation.
Freebee operates wheelchair accessible vehicles within every municipality.
Freebee is a great service. Its local, free, environmental friendly.

This true story took place when my family was living in north-central Arkansas, near Batesville. I was in junior high school and had just sat down at the kitchen table one evening to finish my homework. The house was quiet, except for the sound of the TV in the next room, and I was alone in the kitchen.
So, in a panic, I jumped up from my chair, checked to see if the coast was clear, quickly dropped my pants and saw one of those little black, fuzzy spiders fall into my whitie tidies and crawl away! When I had pulled up my pants and regained my composure, I allowed that if I had been the spider, I would have bailed out too!

Rob Morrison, founder of Breo, says the company is "looking at the USA in a new light" after the HSBC Business Thinking Thought Exchange in New York.
Breo is one of the regional finalists in the HSBC Business Thinking initiative.
Thirty-two-year-old Rob Morrison founded the sports lifestyle brand Breo in 2008 with just £6,000 in start-up capital.
Breo, which is based in Dundee, is best known to date for its colourful sports watches, which now sell in 40 countries worldwide.
It also sells direct to airline customers, supplying more than 50 of the world’s leading airlines.
In March this year, Breo opened an office in Hong Kong to give it greater exposure to the fast-growing consumer markets of Asia-Pacific, and the company plans to follow this by entering the US market directly in 2012.
“America’s influence on business culture across the globe is undeniable, but understanding the local culture and habits is just as important when doing business in the US as in any other country. Following the Business Thinking trip to New York with HSBC we have a better understanding of American business culture and the requirements of the market – unique and challenging for many, but for the right companies with the right attitude a market that can prove very fruitful.
“The business thinking trip was a fast-track to better understanding of the US marketplace for businesses like ours who are interested in making inroads there. With several sessions on the market, economy and business culture, the trip offered valuable insights into how US business operates and how the market responds to new brands. I now believe more than ever that we have the right product and brand for the US and am looking at how I can bring our entry forward by 6 months.
“The trip not only gave me knowledge regarding the US, but also brought together some of the best business leaders in the UK today and encouraged us to share ideas and visions for the future. Listening to the positive outlook from the other finalists is refreshing considering the difficult times we are living in. Not only did we learn from each other but I think some good relationships for the future were also built.
“Breo is looking at the USA in a new light after our Thought Exchange trip. I left New York with a better understanding of the market and what is required for a brand to succeed, thanks to the in-depth sessions that HSBC arranged. Understanding any new market is vital to a brand’s success and gaining the knowledge that we have over the period of the trip has helped greatly.

This strategy is a basic scalping strategy that aims to make quick gains off of the day's high or low. The rules for entry are very basic and easy to follow. Exit, on the other hand, requires you to make a judgement call and/or to use a stop-loss. This technique was developed by Avery Horton, a computer programmer. The name of the strategy is based on an experiment where rats outsmarted Yale students by always going in the same direction (cheese was located in the left area 60% of the time - Yale students tried to reason where the cheese would be next whereas the rats just tried going left first). Avary recommends that you either specialise in going long or short.
1) Use a 5-minute candlestick chart of whatever currency pair you want to trade.
2) When price is within 20 pips of the day's low, that is your window of opportunity.
3) Wait for a black (bear) candle to close.
4) The following candle must be white (bull) and close - pay attention to the HIGH of this white candle.
5) Enter long at the white candle's high.
6) It is recommended that you use a stop loss of 9 pips, and "take" whatever profit you can each time (2 or 3 or more pips). Pay particular attention to the "price action", if it looks like price is going to go back down, it probably is, so bail out before your stop is hit. Just because price has hit a new low for the day doesn't mean it won't hit some new lows, so be careful.
7) Final rule, never trade against the 1-hour candle colour. If you are looking to go long, make sure the hourly candle is white!
The above rules applied to the day's low. When dealing with the day's daily high, just do the opposite!
There are six arrows here, the entry point would be at the very bottom of each arrow. On some of the runs you can quickly make 10 pips. On the last run, you would have made 30 pips (you could have actually made much more than that by keeping your position open over the weekend but that would have been risky as the market can sometimes hit you in the wrong direction on Monday morning's open).

If you love sports, you probably love sports betting. If you love sports betting, you will definitely like Redbet, unless it’s already your favourite place for your wagering action. Redbet is a magnificent place to make some money out of betting on sports and casino games, for which the Redbet brand is immensely popular. The sports betting page comes at close first in popular Redbet products, trailed by the poker and casino pages.
Redbet has different options when it comes to sports, so you will most probably find the sport that you have great betting knowledge of. Ever since 2004, players have been picking the winners out of thousands of events daily with competitive odds (60,000 events on a monthly basis).
In the following you can read about the tasty promotions on offer for members of Redbet, the various sporting disciplines available for betting, what options are available for deposits and withdrawals and other intricate details that otherwise you would have to discover yourself by going the harder way.
Redbet does not offer a welcome bonus for sports bettors at the moment, as opposed to casino players which get up to £200 on their first deposits. This doesn’t mean that there won’t be a welcome bonus in the near future (as it already may have at the moment you are reading this). Nevertheless, it’s been compensated with several different sports bonuses for regular players, both new and old.
The first on the list is the weekly free bet. It was recently improved by Redbet and now players can get £10 or £20 as a free bet every week if they deposited and wagered specific amounts. If you deposit £25 and wager £50 or deposit £50 and wager £100 on football, basketball, tennis or other sports, you can get the £10 or £20 respectively. Terms and conditions apply, so better check the website.
Another is the pre-event straight combo bet promo, with which you can score up to 60% bonus based on your wagered bet amount. This one is practically the same promo as found at other bookmakers usually known as accumulator boost. It means that your winning combo (accumulator) bets can potentially bring you up to 60% more. All you need for a qualifying combo bet is to have at least 5 selections on it, and to be careful of their odds.
A third sports betting bonus available at the moment of writing of this review is the Redbet Goal Bonus available on a weekly basis. To get this bonus you have to find a Goal Bonus football match of the day, and place a bet of a minimum £10 on one of the teams. You can bet to win, draw or to lose on any of the teams. Then, Redbet will give you £2 free bet for every goal that is scored in the game. Cool, right! The maximum you can get out of one game is £10.
Redbet Sport is abundant with types of games that you can bet on. Being a European and UK oriented bookmaker, football is always in the focus. Additionally there is tennis, boxing, MMA, hockey, NFL, NBA… the biggest and the smallest sporting events, from Aussie Rules to Winter Sports on the A-Z list. The types of games available are plenty too. From under/over to money-lines, point spreads, totals, exotics etc.
Redbet’s betting odds are great, but you won’t find them on the top 10 bookie lists. But, you will surely recognise some value in some of the sports. Stick to your strategy and the sport you are familiar with, and control your bankroll. It’s the success formula for the most disciplined bettors and don’t be impulsive.
The betting platform is particularly easy to use and very aesthetically pleasing.

In this Instructable, I will show you how to draw a metroid from the 1986 video game, Metroid.
To start off you first draw an open semicircle. Be sure it's open or your metroid will have a skirt on.
After you draw the top you close it off with a line that has two curves.
Add three dots in an upside-down triangle formation in the outline's lower middle.
Add four 90 degree curves(middle ones are smaller) and connect them to the metroid with more curved lines.
To finish the simplified version go inside the outline and draw the same shape but smaller.
If you want to continue your drawing then add squiggly lines in the center to show shines.
Add some dots in it's membrane and darken the center for a slimy effect.
This part is completely optional and you can do your own style.
Well, now you know how to draw a character from my favorite video game.

Xconomy: Nasuni Snags $20M More for "Storage as a Service"
Where else but the Boston area would you find a startup looking to disrupt traditional enterprise data-storage companies like IBM, Hewlett-Packard, Hitachi, NetApp, and, yes, EMC?
The company in question is making progress in a crowded field. Natick, MA-based Nasuni has raised a $20 million Series C financing round led by an undisclosed new investor (not a venture firm). Previous investors North Bridge Venture Partners, Sigma Partners, and Flybridge Capital Partners also participated in the round. The startup has raised about $43 million since its founding in 2009, making it one of the better-funded storage startups around.
Nasuni is part of a wave of companies that are trying to turn traditional storage infrastructure into a utility service. The company’s technology takes care of cloud storage, data management, and online backup, and it’s geared towards distributed enterprises with offices in different locations. The software stores all of a customer’s files with a given cloud storage vendor (like Rackspace or Amazon), but it also keeps copies of working files cached to a local storage system so they can be accessed quickly and securely.
Nasuni’s CEO and co-founder, Andres Rodriguez, says his company is on pace to triple its revenues in 2012 as compared to last year. Its customers include Vistaprint, Walsh Construction, and organizations in manufacturing, law, and education. “We’re not talking about a new technology,” Rodriguez says, but rather, “a whole new way of doing business” in data storage.

Obviously it isn’t everybody but I am seeing an increasing minority of Newcastle fans who have admirable levels of optimism.
Others would maybe describe it as delusion.
Nobody can dispute that Rafa and his players had a tough start to the season.
Bad enough Mike Ashley taking liberties, yet again, but when the fixtures were announced in June it just felt somebody was having a laugh with them.
In the first five games, to get four of last season’s top six, was pretty cruel.
The match at Cardiff could have gone either way but fears have been realised with the other four, 2-1 defeats to Man City, Spurs, Arsenal and Chelsea.
Some reasons for optimism in each of those defeats but nowhere near enough to suggest Newcastle deserved to win any of them, possibly maybe deserving of a point or two, but no more than that.
One point from the opening five games is a really poor foundation to build from and yet I am seeing these Newcastle fans who are believing that automatically things will improve, now that NUFC are playing the ‘lesser’ sides.
Yes, no reason why Newcastle can’t attack these matches but to think that there are any easy/guaranteed points, is naivety in the extreme.
It makes pretty grim reading, three points from eighteen last season in these six matches.
If repeated, that would give us four points from the first 11 games and into the second week of November. Doesn’t bear thinking about.
I honestly though before this weekend that we had more chance of getting something off Arsenal than we do at Palace I reckon home to Leicester is about on the same level as Arsenal in terms of chances of getting anything.
Any complacency as to just how dire the situation is at Newcastle, must be quickly brushed away.
I honestly think staying up this season will be almost as big a challenge as getting Mike Ashley to sell up.
Of the other 19 clubs, only Cardiff have a worse team/squad than Newcastle, yet very worryingly, NUFC were no better than them.
Huddersfield are pretty much on a similar level to Newcastle in terms of quality of squad etc but after that…?
Everybody else improved and invested in the summer, Newcastle made a £20m+ profit and at best the team/squad stood still, or as I see it, went backwards.
Looking at those next six fixtures I get the horrible feeling that so many Newcastle fans will be thinking nine points minimum, I see it as six points would be a massive positive.
It isn’t impossible that Newcastle could pick up three victories but with so few decent creative players and goalscorers in the Newcastle team/squad, I see it as far more likely we could see 0-0 and 1-1 hard fought draws, maybe an odd goal win.
Every point will have to be fought for and when you see the atmosphere as bad as it was against Arsenal and in other matches, plus yet another home game not sold out, I worry that a demoralised Newcastle could be facing Watford in front of forty five thousand or so, desperately needing a win to give us something to cling onto.
This is what happens when a squad is repeatedly not properly invested in.
It says it all when we see our possible salvation largely reliant on two loan players, Rondon and Kenedy, who Newcastle/Ashley have no intention of signing permanently.
As every other club tries to progress, Mike Ashley simply has Newcastle digging itself an ever bigger hole that is increasingly tougher to climb out of.

FILE - Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump gestures during a speech in Virginia Beach, Virginia, July 11, 2016.
Alarm is being expressed following the 2016 Republican Party presidential nominee’s latest comments questioning the need to keep nearly 80,000 U.S. military personnel in Northeast Asia.
In an interview with The New York Times, Donald Trump said the presence of American troops in South Korea were “no guarantee we’ll have peace” on the Korean Peninsula, and he asked “what are we getting out of this?” by having troops, aircraft, ships and bases in Japan.
The United States has long-standing alliances with Japan and South Korea to provide for their defense if they are attacked, and a key element of the Obama administration’s foreign policy has been a strategic “pivot” to Asia, which Trump apparently desires to reverse.
Trump, in the Times interview, also said “maybe you would have had a unified Korea” if U.S. forces had withdrawn from the peninsula after the 1953 armistice that halted with a stalemate a bloody and devastating three-year war.
“It’s foolhardy to have thought that we could have left there and the country would have unified itself. It would have unified itself by war, and it would have been another satellite of China,” said retired Army General John Wickham Jr., who commanded U.S. forces in Korea from 1979 to 1982.
Trump’s comments on unification will, however, find a positive reception by most North Koreans and some hard-liner South Koreans who believe their country would never have split if the great powers had not intervened on the peninsula immediately after World War II, which removed the Japanese colonialists, said Balbina Hwang, a visiting professor at Georgetown University’s Center for Security Studies.
Pyongyang may be expecting “short-term opportunities and benefits” from a Trump presidency, Hwang told VOA. But she cautioned that the North Korean government certainly “thinks he’s pretty nutty” and believes “they can manage whoever comes into office” at the White House.
Statesmen, military commanders, high-level government officials and analysts with whom VOA spoke on Thursday all emphasized that America’s military presence overseas cannot be seen merely in stark, strategic terms.
“Trump is trying to put a market price on incalculable benefits, which include boosting and supporting democracies and free-market capitalistic societies that directly contribute to America’s national economic wealth,” said Hwang, a former senior special adviser on Korean affairs at the State Department.
If American forces are removed from Northeast Asia, “we would destroy our economy” from a loss of free markets in the region that would come under the control of China and Russia, said Hwang.
The Pentagon recently announced it was enhancing missile defense in South Korea and will deploy two THAAD batteries to the country, a move White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Thursday is “meant to protect our allies from a North Korean missile threat.” Each unit is estimated to cost about $1.6 billion, according to defense analysts.
“The very real security challenges and, frankly, economic opportunities that are resident in that part of the world require a strong, robust U.S. presence,” said State Department spokesman John Kirby, emphasizing the Pacific pivot policy of the Obama administration.
“It’s clear that Trump has not studied and is thus ignorant about American interests, American policies and the history of the American presence in that part of the world, particularly in Japan and Korea,” Mondale said.
Trump also questioned whether the United States would automatically defend other NATO allies, the foundation of America’s alliance with Europe since the end of World War II.

This is a typical puzzle solving memory game for kids in which you guess a pair of squares that hide identical images of Tom and Jerry. If you miss, the squares will remain hidden. Otherwise, those two blocks get resolved and you can move with your search for another pair until you uncover the whole image. There are 3 images behind 3 different levels. Each level is harder than the previous one, because the time given to you for the puzzle gets shorter with higher levels. Make sure the time does not expire before you finish the puzzle.
How to play: Use the mouse to click on a square to rotate it and display hidden image from behind.

Imagine the outrage if 50 years ago we discovered the government was making a copy of every letter we sent. Maybe they’d say they weren’t actually reading the copies but instead just keeping them in a safe place (perhaps in that box behind the ark of the covenant at the end of Indiana Jones) so they would be available just in case they ever decided they should read your mail.
I think we’ve let our privacy rights erode more in the last 15 years than all of the prior years combined and nobody seems to be very upset about it. When I grew up, they told us the United States was better than the Soviet Union because over there, the government read everyone's mail. Ugh.
I was glad to see the tech giants uniting to request reform this week but I have to admit that I think it may already be too late. People just accept these intrusions.

text: A disappointing start to the Bundesliga bets for the year - at these prices we need at least a 50% S/R just to break even. However, I'm confident we'll end up in profit at the end of the season and we can get back on the winning trail with Hansa tonight. Both these teams see themselves as belonging in the top division. But Freiburg have failed to impress, and while you can find some fine bits of form from them - such as their away victory against Kaiserslautern, they are performing poorly at present, and a journey to the Ostseestadion is probably the one that all of the teams in Bundesliga 2 relish least of all. At present, Hansa are making a name for themselves with their actual football as opposed to the exploits of the large number of nutcases who follow the club around. They have a 6W, 2D home record this season and are confidently expected to take all three points in tonight's live Tv (DSF) encounter.

<p> The gauntlet has been thrown and people want to know who the deadliest warrior is.
The gauntlet has been thrown and people want to know who the deadliest warrior is. The arcane magic of TERA's Sorcerer takes on the deadly accuracy of the Archer. OK, so maybe it isn't quite that dramatic and we certainly aren't headed for a new episode of The Deadliest Warrior, but more details about two of TERA's ranged damage classes have been revealed in true adversarial fashion. In a recent release, Frogster details more about the Sorcerer and the Archer, and leaves it up to players to find out who is in fact the deadliest warrior.
On the battlefields of TERA streaming arcane magic is channelled with meticulous precision. Whereas sorcerers rely on their mastery of the elements, archers depend solely on their training with the bow and arrow.
In addition to the release, Frogster has also revealed a new video for the Sorcerer and the Archer in action.

Abstract: Most protocols for distributed, fault-tolerant computation, or multi-party computation (MPC), provide security guarantees in an all-or-nothing fashion: If the number of corrupted parties is below a certain threshold, these protocols provide all specified security guarantees. Beyond this threshold, they provide no security guarantees at all. Furthermore, most previous protocols achieve either information-theoretic (IT) security, in which case this threshold is low, or they achieve only computational security, in which case this threshold is high. In contrast, a hybrid-secure protocol provides different security guarantees depending on the set of corrupted parties and the computational power of the adversary, without being aware of the actual adversarial setting. Thus, hybrid-secure MPC protocols allow for graceful degradation of security.
We present a hybrid-secure MPC protocol that provides an optimal trade-off between IT robustness and computational privacy: For any robustness parameter r<n/2, we obtain one MPC protocol that is simultaneously IT secure with robustness for up to t<=r actively corrupted parties, IT secure with fairness (no robustness) for up to t<n/2, and computationally secure with agreement on abort (privacy and correctness only) for up to t<n-r. Our construction is secure in the universal composability (UC) framework (based on a network of secure channels, a broadcast channel, and a common reference string). It achieves the bound on the trade-off between robustness and privacy shown by Ishai et al. [CRYPTO'06] and Katz [STOC'07], the bound on fairness shown by Cleve [STOC'86], and the bound on IT security shown by Kilian [STOC'00], and is the first protocol that achieves all these bounds simultaneously.
For example, in the special case r=0 our protocol simultaneously achieves non-robust MPC for up to t<n corrupted parties in the computational setting (like Goldreich et al. [STOC'87]), while providing security with fairness in the IT setting for up to t<n/2 corrupted parties (like Rabin and Ben-Or [STOC'89] though without robustness).
Note: Revised as paper underwent restructuring and cleanup.

I want to start today with a basic premise: Most of the time, most people do the best they can at any given time.
In my life, I have really come to believe that.
I tend to get into trouble and flirt with being judgmental when I try and superimpose MY feelings of what the “best thing” is in any given situation. And when I think someone’s actions are not living up to MY definition of the “best things,” I have to remember that how we define what’s best is going to depend on our life experiences, our health, our income … all kinds of variables. And I can’t decide what’s best for anyone else any more than they can decide that for me.
REALLY, though, I think that most people try to do the BEST they can at any given time. We ALL do.
We try to be the best parent or child that we can be.
We try to be the best employee that we can be.
We try to be the best friend, or partner, or spouse that we can be.
And some days my best is better than other days. Some days my best is pretty darn good … some days its lacking, even by my OWN standards … but it’s all I have to offer on that day.
So when I carry that philosophy into today’s Scripture, it changes how I read it a little bit.
This day I have set before you life and death. Choose life.
First off … what does that MEAN? Second: How do I DO that?
There was an old man and his son who were farmers and they lived alone outside their village. One day the old man took all of the money he had saved and bought a very fine horse to help with the plowing.
The same day they got the horse home, it ran away.
The very next day, though, the horse returned and brought with it five wild horses who could all be put to work around the farm. The father and his son didn’t have to work as hard anymore.
A week later, the farmer’s son fell off one of the new horses and broke his leg.
But the next day, a war broke out and the army came looking for soldiers to fight. The father was too old, and with the son’s broken leg, he couldn’t go either.
So it was a good thing.
And the narrative goes on.
See … the thing is that we don’t always KNOW the good thing or the bad thing when it’s happening.
We lose a job, only to find out later that by losing that one we were open to the better one we ended up with.
We miss the bus to go home, only to find out later that the bus we would have been on was in an accident and everyone was hospitalized.
Near misses all around me, accidents unknown.
So how can we be SURE that what we’re choosing is life … not death?
How can we be sure we’re making the right choice?
I think the answer lies – as it does with so many things – in our INTENT. Are we INTENDING to choose life … to choose that which is life-sustaining?
That sounds like it’s an easy choice, doesn’t it? But it gets very hard and complicated as we live out our everyday choices.
We have surgery. The doctor gives us a medication for pain. Do we take it? Of course … because if we are in great pain we can’t do the physical therapy we have to do to heal.
So we take the pills … and then we LIKE the way they make us feel and before you know it, we’re addicted to the pain medication.
At FIRST … the pills were part of choosing LIFE.
Later ON … the pills were a way that we chose DEATH.
We’re in a bad situation and someone comes along who offers us a way out. Good choice – choosing life.
But then we find that we are totally dependent upon them because THEY were the ones who rescued us. Bad choice – choosing death.
We have to look at our definitions of life and death.
Is life made up only of the things that are easy and cheery and positive? Is that what it is to choose life?
Well, I can think of some wonderfully profound and emotionally difficult times that have been EXQUISITE and which I would never have wanted to give up even though they were some of the HARDEST things I’ve ever done. They made my life RICHER. Sitting with someone as they’re dying. Loving my black lab enough to put her to sleep. Holding my child as she’s crying with a broken heart.
I wouldn’t trade those hard, awful things for anything in the world. They made my life richer.
In those cases, they were examples of choosing life – just maybe not the way MOST of us think of life.
And maybe THAT’s the issue here.
That’s what it is to choose life: to keep God’s commands and be obedient to them.
Pretty clear … turning AWAY from God … NOT being obedient … bowing down to other gods and worshiping them – whether they be gods with names like Zeus or Baal … or gods with names like iPhones and Dollars – bending your knee to anything other than the God who created the Universe is choosing death.
Fortunately, for those of us who follow Jesus, we have a leg up … we have a teacher … a mentor … a GUIDE who shows us how to do all of this.
During his lifetime, Jesus chose LIFE – even unto his own DEATH. He brought RESURRECTION to the table so that even death can be turned INTO life.
WE may not always know what the answers are or which choice to make … but HE does. And by and large, the life-giving choices are those that BUILD UP … that EXPAND … that are MORE INCLUSIVE.
That’s how he lived his life. His choices always ADDED people … they didn’t subtract or cut OUT people. He stopped and EXPLAINED. He answered QUESTIONS. He rarely, if ever, said, “This is right – This is wrong.” He put things in stories … in parables so that people could figure them out for themselves.
Things that build up and expand and include … those are LIFE-giving.
Things that tear down – whether we’re talking about tearing down ideas or programs or other people – THOSE are life-DENYING. When we choose THOSE ways, we’re choosing Death.
Most of the time, most people do the best they can at any given time. But sometimes other people come along and try to convince us that people are INTENTIONALLY trying to hurt us or deny us something in some way.
Build up like Jesus did.
Leave them feeling better about themselves and about the world than they did when they first saw you.
We CAN’T control what people do to us or how they act in the world. But we CAN control how we react to them and the things they do.
They may be sending all kinds of life-denying energies and thoughts and actions our way, but we can CHOOSE to respond with life-GIVING energies and thoughts and actions.
This is one of my favorite passages in the Bible because it leaves the choice of our behaviors and our ATTITUDES completely up to US.
Nobody has the POWER to make me angry unless I give it to them.
Nobody has the power to make me think LESS of myself, unless I give it to them.
And nobody has the power to make me AFRAID unless I give it to them.
If I give that power away and become angry, think less of myself, or live in fear, then I am NOT choosing life … I’m choosing death because none of those things is of God.
Every time I BELIEVE that … I’m choosing life.
19-20 I call Heaven and Earth to witness against you today: I place before you Life and Death, Blessing and Curse. Choose life [Choose Blessings] so that you and your children will live. And love God, … listening obediently … firmly embracing [God] (and I would add … firmly embracing the teachings of Jesus). Oh yes, [God … Jesus … Spirit] is life itself, a long life settled on the soil that God, … promised to give your ancestors, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (and I would add Peter and Mary, Matthew and John, Mary Magdalene and Paul and all the other crowd of witnesses who have come before us).

January Transfer Window 2018: - Proving to be a Turning-Pointer!
Home Top Five January Transfer Window 2018: – Proving to be a Turning-Pointer!
Generally, we sit here and speak how a January Transfer Window can be a headache for managers. It comes right in between a season and unhappy players at this stage might prove pivotal for clubs going into second phase of a season. On the other hand, it can provide a much-needed boost for certain clubs looking for inspiration. We take a look at how the January Transfer Window of 2018 has gone about so far.
On the eve of New Year 2018, Liverpool gave us the first major talking point of the window, announcing Virgil Van Dijk for 75m Pounds. The Dutch was more or less gone from Southampton from November-end itself. In the process, Liverpool have created history by signing a defender for a record fee. (previous record was of Kyle Walker to Manchester City for 54m Pounds). We don’t generally these marquee signings in a middle of the season, but Liverpool have created a habit of it. They signed Luis Suarez and Phillipe Coutinho in January itself, both of whom became fantastic servants for the club.
Talking about Coutinho, the Brazilian has also made his dream move to Barcelona on the 7th of January for 142m. The surprise thing was Klopp making him available for the Manchester City game which was scheduled on 14th January. Two days after that press conference, Coutinho was gone, probably Klopp was too helpless in that situation.
Meanwhile, in between all this big moves, Chelsea snapped up Ross Barkley from Everton for 15m Pounds. A deal for a player who has a potential to be a very good player is a bargain if the Englishman comes good when in full fitness. Everton have done a good business in getting Cenk Tosun from Besiktas and Theo Walcott from Arsenal for 15m and 20m+ pounds respectively. Sounds a good business for a team needing goals and creativity.
Concurrently, in the past two three days, there has been a major swapping of players between two English giants. Talk about smart trades, Manchester United have done, even it being paying high wages. Alexis Sanchez moves out of Emirates to get his move to Old Trafford while Henrikh Mkhitaryan, often maligned under Mourinho, shifted himself to London.
We do not often say that mid-season deals actually provide turning points for certain clubs. But, this window has given us some really good deals which can turn around a season for a particular club. Manchester United and Arsenal will argue that they are in a better position than they were in December. Obviously, United have got a better deal, but Arsenal offloading an unhappy player and getting a very good player is not bad.
For Barcelona, Coutinho’s buy can actually mean they can win the treble. The Brazilian can play in La Liga and Spanish Cup Competitions even though he is cup-tied in Champions League. His arrival may mean Ernesto Valverde can rest likes of Iniesta or Paulinho in domestic games and unleash them in European games. This in turn means fresher players in creative department in almost every important game. Not a bad thing to have post January transfer window.
Mourinho, contemporaneously, will be delighted by his new arrival in the squad. Sanchez will add goals to United and also bring something different as an attacking unit at Old Trafford. It will also alert players like Marcus Rashford, Juan Mata and Jesse Lingard to be at their game or they will out for a long time with the Chilean’s arrival.
Liverpool, while still early in the piece, might be getting affected by the sale of Coutinho at such a juncture of the season. They haven’t got an attacking replacement yet. In addition, it doesn’t look likely that anything substantial will happen for them in the coming four days. They have bolstered defensively though by getting Van Dijk. But lacking depth in attacking department means one injury, and they’re reeling to compete.
Well, we don’t really used to react much post January transfers. This one has been sensational to say the least. Some very eye-catching deals to probably direction of seasons for many big clubs. Few “selling” clubs might get a negative impact because replacing marquee players is not always easy mid-season. Let’s see how much these deals can affect seasons for respective clubs.
If you want to know what are the other deals done during January, here is the link to take a look.

butter LONDON Trustafarian is part of the new Autumn/Winter 2012 Collection. A few days before I tried this polish for the first time I was chatting with @makeupwithdrawl on Instagram about another butter LONDON holo, All Hail McQueen (or all Hail the Queen, depending on when you purchased it.) Both of us loved the All Hail McQueen formula. It is a breeze to apply, is very smooth, and barely needs a top coat. You can check out my review of All Hail McQueen here. We both hoped that the Trustafarian formula would be as awesome as my All Hail McQueen.
My nails are in horrendous state (peeling due to lack of moisture) so I applied two coat of butter LONDON Nail Foundation as my base. The first coat applied smoothly with no cuticle drag. It looked smooth after the second coat, but I did three coats out of habit. I finished with one coat of butter LONDON Hardwear. The end result? Just as good as All Hail McQueen!!!
Aside from the formula, I love the color. Trustafarian is a very soft light green scattered holo. It’s a great way to wear green if you have a hard time wearing minty greens.
butter LONDON polishes retail for $14 and can be purchased at your local Sephora or ULTA, online at beauty.com and on butter LONDON’s website.
How do you feel about scattered holos?
Have you picked up any polishes from the new butter LONDON collection yet?

Hi. Maybe I am overlooking the obvious. I know how to run a .Net form and wait for it, but how do I run a form persistently and allow control to return to the calling procedure? Thanks.
Just call the Form’s Show method.
Ok. That works, but you still have to have some kind of .Net WAIT-FOR.
If one already has an app with a ABL WAIT-FOR, is it possible to fire up a .Net form, show it, and then resume my ABL wait? All the examples seems to be the WAIT-FOR System.Windows.Form.Application:Run(x) variety.
To my knowledge the first WAIT-FOR needs to by .NET style to give .NET components the chance to handle messages.
Progress uses the WAIT-FOR Application:Run() to initialize message handling in .NET and ABL.

The Experimental Spaceplane, or XS1, is a suborbital hypersonic vehicle with lofty goals, said Pamela Melroy, who spoke Thursday at the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, or AIAA, Space Conference and Exposition.
The Airborne Launch Assist Space Access program helps enable access to space. Melroy said it aims for $1 million, including range costs, to get to low Earth orbit. Space is said to be “increasingly congested and contested and competitive,” Melroy said.
“What’s interesting is that is it’s not just congested from the standpoint of the number of operators, but also competition for spectrum as well. At the same time, we have tremendous cost challenges,” Melroy said.
A big focus for DARPA today is cost effectiveness, Melroy said.
“It makes a lot of sense to develop capabilities that are inexpensive to maintain but very expensive to counter,” Melroy said.
The goal of the XS1 is to “enable routine access in a larger payload class — looking more at the 1,000 to 4,000-pound class and shoot for $5 million a pop,” Melroy said. Other goals are to launch 10 times in 10 days and to achieve Mach 10.
She said DARPA hopes to have a broad agency announcement in the next month or so and an Industry Day for proposals in early October. The program isn’t limited to winged or non-winged vehicles, it just needs to be reusable first stage, she said.
“The only tragedy in my mind is when you failed the program because you didn’t execute the program right. … But if you failed because of technology, that’s great,” Melroy said, adding that there are lessons to be learned from failures that can be used to advance.
DARPA was formed by President Dwight Eisenhower after Sputnik was launched, to commission advanced research for the Department of Defense, and to prevent and create strategic surprise, Melroy said.
“We actually try to create the future. We try to develop technologies so we can direct future outcomes so that we are not surprised by the way the world is developing,” Melroy said.
She added that DARPA is looking for “big wins” in its programs, and it doesn’t do evolutionary capability.
“Ten, 20, 30 percent incremental improvement over current capability is not an interest to us. We’re looking for radical and disruptive changes,” Melroy said.
DARPA is about demonstrations, and Melroy said it’s not enough just to experiment — proposals have to actually prove it. DARPA is focusing on leveraging unmanned capabilities and is also committed to space situational awareness.
“The problem is, if you can’t find the threat, it doesn’t matter if you can do anything about it,” Melroy said.

The appropriate venue for a citation proceeding is the court in which the probate estate is pending. Citation proceedings can take place in a decedent’s estate and in the case of a minor or disabled adult, a guardianship estate.
Grounds for issuing the citation must appear in the petition. A petition for a citation to discover assets need not state a cause of action, and a court will issue a citation to discover is the petition states that some person has property which possibly belongs to the estate, or some person may have information or knowledge of property that the petitioner may need to obtain recovery of property. Thus, upon issuance of a citation to discovery, the petitioner is afforded all of the discovery tools allowed by the Code of Civil Procedure, including subpoena power.
A citation to recover assets allows a petitioner to recover possession of specific property to the estate. If the property has been converted, the value of the property is brought back into the estate. Unlike a petition for a citation to discovery, a petition for a citation to recover must state a cause of action, such as breach of fiduciary duty, fraud or conversion.
The executor has standing to bring citation proceedings, as does any other person interested in the estate.
There are various legal presumptions that arise in the context of citation to recover proceedings, including the presumption of fraud in any transaction by a fiduciary, and the presumption of a gift in cases involving joint tenancies.

If you are reading this post is because you love soccer (or football), and looking for somewhere fun to play the beautiful game. Check below a list of what we consider are the best options to play in Los Angeles.
This soccer league for adults in Los Angeles claims "quality over quantity". If you feel like you are looking for competitive soccer, then this is one of the best options in Los Angeles. From the heart of Playa Vista, Playa Champions is hosted in maybe the best 8v8 field in the city.
Great national and international players (Brazilians, Argentinians, French, English, Africans and more) make of this league a great experience (like feeling you are playing an international cup every time).
One of Playa Champions great features is that they keep track of game stats (MVPs, Strikers, Best Goalie, etc). Top players are recognized with awards. Also, the league has a strong sense of community, organizing ALL STAR GAMES, Pickups and helping teams to challenge each other when seasons are over.
With 2 divisions of 12 teams make out of Playa Champions a great competition and a great option to get connected to the competitive soccer community of Los Angeles.
You can register as a free agent HERE.
If you are looking for indoor soccer for adults, then DTLA would be the place to go, but let us introduce you to the last indoor "street soccer" hit in the city: VBFC.
Venice Beach FC is a great expression that mixes the street culture from Venice with the passion for the ball. Are you down to challenge other great players on the beach front of Venice Beach? then VBFC is the play to go. From training sessions during the week to intense magical games during the weekends. Check their Instagram account at @VB.FC ; you wont regret it!
The Santa Monica Soccer League, hosted near Santa Monica airport, is one of the biggest soccer leagues on the west side of Los Angeles. Mainly played weekday nights, Santa Monica is a difficult league to get into: you need to have at least 3 players (out of 7) that work or live in the area. Also, number of spots available might vary depeinding the season, so you cant assure all year round soccer.
With great environment and play, Santa Monica can be a fun 7v7 league, but not as competitive as other leagues in the South Side of town.
A great option to play at the south side of town. With 7v7 and 11v11 tournaments, McCulloch manages to get good local and latino teams in it's events. Challenging and sometimes can become rough. Worth a try!
Zog Sports is the option for those playing for fun. Nice Coed events, cool to do networking and make friends, maybe not the most competitive league in town. It's always worth it to try their pickup games.
DirectKix offers a great variety of competitions, from COED to corporate. Based on the San Fernando Valley Area, this league has always something fun going on. Great passion for what they do, and great fun!

The goal of the Orion Chamber Music Society String Camp is to provide an opportunity for young people to be challenged to improve their musical skills for God’s glory. It is the desire of OCMS that participants in String Camp would be equipped for ministry both in the [local] church and community. Students will improve their skills in tone, technique, and interpretation through participation in orchestras and small ensembles under the direction of experienced instructors. Participants will also develop listening skills and musical understanding through musicianship and aural skills classes.
OCMS String Camp was founded in 2005 by G. Leonard Holliday who set the vision for the annual week-long summer camp that has reached over 100 students.
