Golf: Adam Scott adds Australian Open to busy home schedule
Masters champion Adam Scott has set himself a gruelling home schedule after adding the Australian Open to his play list.
The national championship, at Royal Sydney Golf Club from November 28 to December 1, will cap off what is set to be a run of four tournaments in four weeks for Scott as he returns to celebrate the green jacket he won at Augusta National with home fans.
He will open the campaign at the Australian PGA Championship at Royal Pines on the Gold Coast - his hometown - from November 7-10.
He then defends his Australian Masters title the following week at Royal Melbourne the following week and is widely expected to represent Australia in the rich and revamped World Cup on the same course a week later before heading to Sydney for the Open.
World number four Scott won the Australian Open in 2009 and was keen to repeat that success.
"Winning the national Open is the title every Australian golfer wants," Scott said in a statement on Thursday.
"I am sure the Sydney sporting public will come in great numbers to support the event. I look forward to competing and celebrating with them during the week."
PGA of Australia chief executive Brian Thorburn said Scott's confirmation added to an already stellar field expected in the country this summer.
"We're confident a number of international players will stay on after the World Cup to compete in the Australian Open, making for the perfect finale to the Australian golf season," he said.
The Seven Network has confirmed it will broadcast the championship live across all four days.

Seminars for secondary schools
In conjunction with the German Education Authority of the province of Bolzano, Fiera Bolzano has undertaken an initiative entitled "Trade fairs as a marketing tool" for secondary school students.
Last academic year, this presentation was completed with considerable interest and success in various secondary schools in the Alto Adige region.
Students learn about the history of the trade fair, are introduced to the basic principles of marketing and find out what companies need to consider if they want to take part in a trade fair.
The seminars last 90-180 minutes and are held directly in class on a normal school day.

Thanks to former VCE student. Dussy K, for sharing her VCE English and VCE Literature notes with our community. If you want to share your resources with the VCE help community check out the guidelines here.
'Life of Pi shows us that it is not what happens to us but the way we approach obstacles that is the measure of a human being'. Do you agree?
'In the throws of unremitting suffering' Pi's pragmatic approach to not only survival, but life even after his journey compels the reader to embrace the hardships that life hands us. The boy's insightful divinity regarding his faith imparts a sense that obstacles can be conquered when approached with an open mind. Pi's undying affection for his three religions is not only potent in proving that belief is a strength that will welcome optimism, but also suggests the benefits of the existence that faith has. As pi conquers the treacherous Pacific for 227 days, his ability to believe in stories and create his own, acts as a saviour for his mental state. Whether or not Richard Parker is real, Pi's refusal to 'stumble at mere believability' highlights the difference that perspective can make. Similarly, as Pi survives as a castaway, he tames Richard Parker and ultimately succeeds in saving both lives, permeating the importance of the human ability to overcome even the most dire conditions.
The way that Pi unwaveringly holds his faith in 'Jesus Mary Muhammed and Vishnu' largely affects his sense of validity and purpose while fighting to save his life. By wilfully continuing to battle against the threat of death, his stronghold for belief directs his 'fierce will to live'. Despite Pi's horrendous circumstances and experience even after his journey, he still maintains his belief in religion and a divine presence. While Pi loses his entire family and even descends to 'a level of savagery' as a survival mechanism, he constantly maintains a level of faith, 'turn[ing] to God'. The young boy's ability to trust in a higher power aids him in the fight for sustainability and life itself. Contrasted with the relentless Mr Chiba and Mr Okamoto, Pi's blind acceptance of God allows him to comprehend the notion of a 'miracle' such as Richard Parker, unlike the rigidity and literalisms of the Japanese businessmen.
In a similar vein, Pi's fascination with stories and the relentless search for the 'better story' illuminates the importance of a human's reaction to a circumstance rather than just the situation itself. Despite the ambiguity of Richard Parker's veracity and the question of reality or imagination, Pi still manages to propel his survival mentally with his passion for the unknown and possibility. Unlike the animals in Pi's life, notably those at the Pondicherry Zoo, the boy is able to soothe his own loss and gain a presence of mind with the comfort of his own story telling. 'In both stories' Pi relates that he suffers and his 'entire family dies', however in the version in which Richard Parker lives, Pi has a companion and a distraction from the 'vast loneliness' of his circumstance. Even as the truthfulness of his animal based version is contested, the traumatic aspects of Pi's voyage are erased by the impact that his storytelling plays during his fight for survival.
Additionally, Pi's productive approach to his terrifying reality pervades the human ability to overcome the difficulties that life embodies. Stuck in a tiny lifeboat, with or without a tiger, Pi still manages to 'fight and fight and fight'. In the story in which Parker exists Pi stares inevitable death 'dead in the eyes' and wills himself to continue fighting against the wrath of the Pacific. The manner which Pi embraces his reality encourages the strength of the human form, notably important when Pi 'made a point of forgetting' and simply focusing on his ability to continue living. Furthermore, the fact that Pi manages to tame the ambivalent character of Richard Parker highlights his strength of persona to do anything as a manner of ultimate success. Finally while Pi adopts the animalistic qualities of his 'life boat pest' he still maintains the essence of good humanity, instilling the courageous boy with the ability to sacrifice in order to survive while still staying true to himself.
The brave approach to near death, depicted in Pi's behaviour infers a sense that it is possible t o survive anything with the correct perspective. Being subjected to such unrelenting circumstances and still maintaining a functioning personality, obvious in Pi's survival relates to the engrained strength a human can adopt in times of hardship, with it be through belief, imagination or a mere strength of mind.

Your Austrian passport photo or visa photo will have to meet all of the regulations requested by the Embassy of Austria. Often, photo booth kiosks will not be able to reach the required quality and specifications of the passport or visa photo, and if you use them in your application, you could face substantial delays due to your application being declined, and have to restart from the beginning.

- The photo must be taken against a white or light grey background, with no shadows visible anywhere in the picture (No shadows on the applicants face nor the backdrop of the photograph)
- 70 – 80% of the photograph should be taken up by your face, which means your head size should be between 31mm – 36mm
- You must maintain a neutral expression, and keep your mouth shut while the photo is taken. You should also look straight at the camera with your eyes wide open, keep your head level and eye line level with the camera lens
- You may wear headwear for religious and medical reasons, but it must not obscure any of your facial features, your face should be clearly visible from the bottom of your chin to your hairline.
- It is recommended that you remove your glasses when the photo is taken. If you choose to leave them on, then the frames must not cover your eyes whatsoever, and there must be no reflections on the lenses.
- Photos must be taken at the right brightness and contrast levels- any photos that have been digitally altered will be immediately rejected
Should your photograph fail to meet these strict requirements, then the Austrian Embassy will likely refuse your application, and you will have to start again. When you come to us, we get things right first time.
We receive our specifications directly from the official Embassy of Austria's guidelines on passport and visa photographs, which can be found here.

Adding a state-of-the-art casino with 1,035 slot machines has turned one of Miami's oldest parimutuel sites into an enormous money maker. Last year, Casino Miami Jai-Alai, located near Miami International Airport, collected $17.3 million in third quarter revenue compared to $1.8 million for the same period in 2011. No wonder Florida Gaming Corp. the company that owns the gambling site, is looking to sell Casino Miami Jai-Alai and its Fort Pierce casino and jai-alai facility for a cool $129.4 million.
But Florida Gaming Corp. minority shareholder Herbert Silverberg won't have any of it. He is suing Florida Gaming in Delaware Chancery Court to block the sale and claiming the father-and-son owners run the place as a "private fiefdom."
Silverberg claims the deal is stacked in favor of Florida Gaming Corp. Chairman W. Bennett Collett and CEO W. Bennett Collett Jr., the father-son team that runs the company. According to the complaint, the Colletts "have run the company as a private fiefdom, failing to hold shareholder meetings in years and causing Florida Gaming to engage in countless self-dealing transactions."
The sale will result in a reduced payout for Florida Gaming but provide valuable payments for the Colletts, who control the company and its three-member board, the lawsuit alleges.
Florida Gaming defaulted on an $87 million senior secured term loan in August 2012 and in late November announced plans to sell the Miami and Ft. Pierce parimuteuls to Silvermark LLC in a deal valued at $129.4 million, according to the suit.
But the deal will only net Florida Gaming $8.2 million, Silverberg said, whereas a competing offer promised a net value of $19.4 million.
(Neither Silverberg nor Collett's attorneys returned messages about the suit; we'll update the post when they do.)

Writer and walking enthusiast Lucy Furlong opens up about what a precious patch of Green Belt land in Kingston upon Thames means to her family – and many others besides.
Finding inspiration in the Green Belt
It has always been there – part of the fabric of my family's life. But also, it has always been there – some of it is recognisable from maps going back nearly 400 years. Beyond that, its history goes even further back into the mists of time, judging by the archaeological digs revealing evidence of a Roman settlement and the Saxon roots of the church on the hill in Old Malden, St John the Baptist, which is also mentioned in the Domesday Book.
It is a small piece of local, scrubby Green Belt, which my family knows as 'Over the Fields', and where four generations of us have played, walked and had adventures. It has always had a special status with the Furlongs – a semi-rural reminder of home for my paternal grandparents, who came from County Wexford in Ireland and settled in Tolworth in the 1940s. We have also taken it for granted and used it, as most local people do, as a cut-through, bisected by the Hogsmill River, to get to the local railway station and shops at Malden Manor. However, if you turn left or right and follow the river, it opens up quietly into a magical space full of possibility. Every time I visit this place, where I have been walking since I could toddle, it offers something new and beautiful to experience.
Through the seasons
My attachment to what is officially known as the Hogsmill Valley has deepened and grown since I started my Over the Fields poetry map project in 2014. My writing is mainly concerned with place, and I wanted to map this area that means so much to my family, especially my dad. I have become fascinated by how the place changes over the seasons. How the lichen-covered hawthorn tree by the bridge looks on a frosty January day, compared to how it glows in full leaf during high summer. How the view of the path under the railway bridge changes from a stark, grey rectangular outline to a magical, green trail in spring. On a still winter's day, silver light gleams off dewdrops held on bare willow whips. My son's joy at discovering a frost-encrusted leaf, which shone like crystal; the sound of crackling twigs under foot; the day he delighted in picking up panes of ice that had formed in the marshy parts of Six Acre Meadow.
I can tell you where to find rosehips, crab apples and damsons. I've been snowed on by blackthorn blossom and crack willow, spotted kingfishers zooming up and down above the rippling Hogsmill, marvelled at dragonflies and chased my son around spinneys on bright, cold days.
Collecting memories
Originally, the poetry map was a way to get me, my dad and my son out for regular outings to Over the Fields to collect my dad's memories of his time playing there as a child with his brothers and sisters and friends. And for my son to know a piece of land that still feels wild, even though it is hemmed in on one side by the housing estate where we live, on another by council flats built in the 1960s and on yet another by the roaring traffic of the A3. My childhood memories of Over the Fields are tied up with spending time walking there with my gran and my younger sister, where the former once pointed out a water vole, and another time pulled up a piece of horseradish for us to see. Then there was my first, bitter, taste of sloes – courtesy of my trickster father – and a summer evening when my and other local dads played cricket, while we kids watched or rampaged in the long grass nearby.
Green Belt heritage
What interests me about this Green Belt land in particular is this notion of a place that is shared, collective – that its purpose is a buffer between development, but which is a green space in suburbia that feels wild and is ancient in parts. Last year was the 60th anniversary of the creation of the Green Belt. My father was 10 when the law was passed, and the story of our family and the importance of Over the Fields to us (my auntie referred to it as their second home when they were growing up) is, I believe, partly the story of the success and importance of the Green Belt.
In many places the Green Belt is under threat from development. In fact, Over the Fields has been developed, too. The land has been encroached upon by the local school, which has expanded, and the view across the river is dominated by its new buildings. The allotments on the other side of the railway bridge were also developed several years ago. I hope that no more of this precious land is lost – it is more important than ever to preserve our green spaces for their biodiversity and history, and for their importance as green 'lungs'.
Wealth of history
Last autumn, my poetry map was officially launched with an Over the Fields walk for friends and family. Poems were read, stories were told and the wonderful Reverend Kevin Scott at St John's let us spend time looking inside his beautiful church. The manor house next door dates back to the 1600s. It is where Thomas de Merton founded Oxford University's Merton College and where the Pre-Raphaelite painters John Everett Millais and William Holman Hunt stayed. In fact, there is still a connection with Merton College because it owns Six Acre Meadow – the place where Millais is said to have painted the background for his famous painting Ophelia on the banks of the Hogsmill. It turns out that my family's precious piece of land, which we have claimed as part of our own family history, has a wealth of history all of its own.

Dear Parents,
1. The weight room in the North Gym will be closed next week, July 4 - 8.
2. From our friends at CSB/SJU:
Host an International Student from Japan for the Evening!This is a unique opportunity! Host an international student (or students) from Japan for a few hours on a summer evening (or all day on a Saturday) as part of the ESL (English as a Second Language) Summer Program as CSB/SJU running from July 7th to August 4th, 2016.Sign-up form - http://ow.ly/wMyu301C6cZFor close to 25 years, the College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's University has opened up its doors to middle and high-school aged students during the month of July. These students come from Okinawa, Japan or Tokyo, Japan to spend three or four weeks on our campuses. While they are here, the students study English and American Culture. They also explore the local area and visit museums and historical sites in the Twin Cities.Many students who have participated in the ESL Summer Programs have enrolled at CSB/SJU as degree-seeking students after high school.The best part...An Evening with an American FamilyThese students spend one evening each summer with a family, which is one of the highlights of their experience in Minnesota. Generally, the students go out in pairs (greater comfort level), but accommodations can be made for families that prefer to host one student. Volunteer families pick-up the students on a Monday through Friday evening around 4:30 pm and bring them back to campus by 9 pm that same night. It is not expected that you make special plans for the night. Some families do, but past students have enjoyed activities ranging from shopping and backyard cookouts to biking or a boat ride.

Knowing What Can Go Wrong with Your Immune System
The human species wouldn't have survived long if the body had no immune system. The first cold virus would have made the original members of our fair species extinct right away, if the body's immune system didn't fight off that invading cold virus. Your immune system is your body's defense department, and it is active in both times of health and illness. Your immune system protects your body from invading microbes, such as bacteria and viruses, other foreign cells, and your own cells that have gone bad (such as cancer cells).
The fine line between healthy and diseased can be crossed when a problem arises in the immune system. Some immune system disorders are evident immediately; others exist for years before any signs or symptoms occur.
The three main types of immune system disorders are
- Autoimmune diseases
- Allergies
- Immunodeficiencies
Autoimmune diseases
Autoimmune diseases occur when your immune system attacks your own "self" cells. Some bacteria and viruses produce toxins that cause T cells (thymus-derived cell) to attack the body's own proteins on the surface of the macrophage instead of the microbe's antigen that's inside the macrophage. Eventually, killer T cells start to view other cells in the body as foreign. Some diseases thought to be initiated in this manner include lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and myasthenia gravis.
Lupus erythematosus
Lupus affects connective tissue, causing an arthritis-like condition. The two major types of lupus are Discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE), which affects connective tissues in the skin, and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), which affects several of the body's systems. Because SLE is much more common, this section focuses on SLE, which waxes and wanes through periods of attack (usually during spring and summer) and times of remission. The disease affects mostly women. An infection with a streptococcal bacterium or a virus, as well as pregnancy, ultraviolet light, stress, and faulty estrogen metabolism can cause lupus.
People with SLE experience flulike symptoms and pain in several joints (polyarthralgia). Chest pain, difficulty breathing, low blood pressure, and tachycardia (rapid heart beat) occur in about half of SLE patients. Signs that neurologic damage has occurred include seizures, depression, irritability, headaches, and mood swings. Urinary tract infections and kidney failure are the most common causes of death in people with SLE. There is no cure for lupus. Treatment often includes corticosteroid medications, such as prednisone, and medications to prevent problems in the kidneys and blood vessels.
Rheumatoid arthritis
Inflammation caused by a person's immune system attacking its own cells eventually damages cartilage, and then joints. This type of damage occurs in people with rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatoid refers to the condition of rheumatism, which consists of inflammation, degeneration, and limited movement of structures made of connective tissue (such as joints and tendons). Flulike symptoms and development of joint inflammation ranging from swelling to destruction of bone, followed by atrophy, deformities, and loss of mobility, signal the disease. It usually begins in the fingers, but also can occur in other joints of the arms and legs, including the ankles, knees, wrists, and elbows.
The predisposition to developing rheumatoid arthritis runs in families. Hormone levels also may affect the development of the disease. Rheumatoid arthritis affects mostly women, starting between the ages of 35 and 50. There is no cure. Treatment consists of anti-inflammatory medications and pain relievers. Immunosuppressants (drugs that suppress the immune system to prevent the body from attacking its own cells) can be used early in the disease. Exercise and physical therapy help to retain a range of motion in the joints. As the disease progresses, surgery often becomes necessary to realign bones and reduce pain. Replacement of joints may be needed.
Allergens cause the immune system to have a hypersensitivity reaction. If certain allergens, such as pet dander, dust, or pollen, make you itch, break out in hives, have a runny nose (rhinitis), or make your eyes water, then you've experienced a hypersensitivity reaction. Allergies can go through cycles. Some allergies are seasonal, such as hay fever, whereas others occur year-round (such as food allergies). The severity of allergies can change from year to year, some allergies stop after a certain amount of time, and some start late in life without prior problems with a substance. Genetics can predispose people to allergies.
IgE (immunoglobulin E) antibodies, which cause the release of histamine, initiate allergic reactions. Histamine causes swelling of mucous membranes, such as in the nose and throat. The swelling causes nasal congestion and that annoying itch in the throat that you can't scratch. Congestion and swelling can trap bacteria in the nasal cavities and lead to sinus infections or ear infections.
A severe allergic reaction that causes sudden breathing difficulty is anaphylaxis. These reactions can lead to shock (anaphylactic shock) or death. People with severe allergies to foods, such as shellfish or peanuts, can experience these frightening reactions. Treatment is an epinephrine injection. Tracheotomy (creating a hole through the throat and trachea so that air can enter) sometimes is necessary if the tissues in the throat swell, obstructing airflow. Tissues lining the bronchial tubes of the lungs also can swell, obstructing airflow through the lungs. Respiratory failure, shock, and arrhythmias of the heart (altered rhythm of heart beat) can lead to death rapidly, so knowing the signs of anaphylaxis and acting quickly can save someone's life if their immune system begins to cross that fine line between health and disease.
HIV and AIDS
AIDS is caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). HIV targets helper T cells, which makes a person infected with HIV unable to fight against this virus — a real Catch-22. Over time, the immune system of an HIV-positive person becomes deficient in helper T cells, creating an immunodeficiency (a deficiency of a part of the immune system). This immunodeficiency is acquired (rather than induced) through lifestyle choices (such as unprotected sex, intravenous drug use) or events (such as blood transfusion) that expose a person to HIV. The presence of HIV and the deficiency of helper T cells that develops because of infection by the virus usually causes an affected person to acquire diseases, such as pneumonia.
After having HIV in their body for a period of time — and becoming immunodeficient — people usually develop the disease called acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). When a person progresses from being HIV-positive to actually having AIDS, they tend to become infected with bacteria and viruses easily, and cancer can occur (such as Kaposi's sarcoma). A cure for AIDS hasn't been found yet, and treatment is expensive and still mostly experimental.

Namche Bazaar
Hey everybody…sending this from Namche Bazaar, at 11,300 feet, the last real town on the trail to Everest. The trip is magnificent, the time of my life. I did have some lower back spasms the first day on the trail, which slowed me down and threatened to end my trip right then and there. A combination of massage, stretching, Advil and Tiger Balm got me back on track, and I've been fine ever since, but it requires constant vigilance. My stomach has been fine and I have no altitude sickness (knock on wood!) The views are unparalleled, the people extraordinary.
Unfortunately, the monsoon season is blowing in early, which has meant rain, hail, and thunder most days, but often not until we're in camp for the day. Up on Everest, the blowing winds and snow have forced all of the summit teams back down to Base Camp, so no one's been able to try for the top just yet.
Six people have died here so far: two Mountain Madness sherpa porters (one with the summit team, one with one of the trekking groups) and four trekking tourists. All from acute mountain sickness, except a German man who had a heart attack. It's extremely important to know your limitations, and accept them when they appear! We've already lost two members of our 16-person group: they helicoptered out of here this morning, back down to Kathmandu, because they just couldn't do anymore. They'll be fine. Another of our hikers collapsed in convulsions from dehydration yesterday. He's something of a head case and I don't know what will happen with him; physically he seems fine now though.
Please don't let any of this worry you! I am hiking at a good pace, and monitoring my health. If I'm not meant to make it…I won't! I'll turn around and go back down. This morning we came around a bend and saw Everest for the first time, along with Ama Dablam, Lhotse, and some of the other giant Himalayan neighbors! What a staggering thing, quite an emotional moment for some in the group. A brilliant, sunny day today (a break in the weather?) with vast snow faces and glaciers, the wind blowing the snow off the peak of Everest. A sight I will never forget…and we're only going to get closer in the days ahead! Five or six days from now…we will be at Base Camp (the gods willing…)!
That's all for now…
Love, Doug

These Hilarious Divorce Cakes Are Even Crazier Than Your Ex.
These days, there's a cake for everything: And we mean everything.
Despite being criticized for "celebrating failure," the new divorce cake trend seems like it's here to stay, with hundreds of such cakes showing up on social media celebrating the end of marriage with a tongue in cheek message.
Here's a collection of some of the divorce cakes below: Some of them are pretty hilarious, but still, we can't help but cringe at a few of them.
That's one way to get your point across.

The DP-2 probe droid was a large droid used to explore space.
Manufactured before the Mandalorian Wars and Jedi Civil War, the DP-2 was designed to be used by explorers and scouts who were roaming the unexplored regions of the galaxy.
The DP-2 had an ovoid body with six arms arranged evenly around the middle of the body. It had a highly sensitive sensor package that detected biological, chemical, electromagnetic and lifeform signatures. It also came with a space beacon launcher so that it could leave a trail for its owner to follow.[1]
It could be modified to be a blockade breaker by upgrading its shield generator and sending it to distract the blockading ships so the owner could escape undetected. Another popular modification was converting the DP-2 into a courier droid by upgrading the sublight drive and installing a hyperdrive.[1]

ENFIELD – Chick-fil-A has announced its grand opening in town will be February 26.
Keeping with Chick-fil-A tradition, the Hazard Avenue location will grant the first 100 adults in line free Chick-fil-A for a year.
Customers are expected to start waiting in line more than 24-hours before the restaurant opening, Chick-fil-A spokesperson Tiffany Simmons said,
Chick-fil-A provides security during the grand opening events as well as entertainment and games – as well as Chick-fil-A food.
The stakeout begins Feb. 25 and prizes will be awarded on the 26th when the doors open at 6 a.m., according to Simmons.
"If more than 100 people are onsite when the line officially opens, all 100 spots will be determined by a drawing held that morning," Simmons said in an email. More details and rules are available online, chick-fil-a.com/Locations/First-100.
Courtney Hendricson, the town's assistant town manager of development services, said the new restaurant has been "all the buzz in town the past few months."
Hendricson said Chick-fil-A will help bolster the retail corridor in town, with many retail and dining options available along Hazard Avenue and Elm Street – including Enfield Square Mall.
"This just adds to the mix in a positive way," Hendricson said. "It definitely keeps us a as destination community."
Currently, the closest Chick-fil-A is located in Chicopee, Mass.
Enfield was one of four Connecticut towns selected for a restaurant – Wallingford, Danbury and Brookfield locations have already opened.
The new location, according to public relations representative Tiffany Simmons, will create 85 jobs.
Town building officials said Chick-fil-A was granted their certificate of occupancy Monday.

French court calls for policeman to be charged with rape
Issued on: Modified:
A French court on Monday called for a police officer charged with assaulting a man in a Paris suburb to be instead charged with rape, two weeks after a similar incident triggered several nights of unrest.
The court in Bobigny, northeast of Paris, had been expected to deliver a verdict on charges of "aggravated violence" levelled at the 33-year-old police officer.
Instead it ruled that medical records justified launching criminal proceedings against the officer, who stands accused of forcing his expandable baton into the young man's anus as he sought to subdue him during a forceful arrest in nearby Drancy, in October 2015.
The victim – identified only by his first name, Alexandre, and now aged 29 – was treated in hospital for a 1.5-centimetre-deep wound in the rectal area and pronounced unfit to work for 10 days. His DNA was found on the officer's baton.
Prosecutors had earlier dismissed calls to file rape charges, claiming the policeman's actions may have had a "sexual connotation" but did not present a "sexual character".
They now have ten days to appeal the court's decision, barring which a judicial inquiry for rape will be entrusted to an investigative magistrate.
Police brutality
The case had gone largely unnoticed, until a similar incident involving a black man in the nearby town of Aulnay-sous-Bois cast a spotlight on the festering issue of police violence in some of France's most deprived suburbs.
The brutal encounter, on February 2, between a police patrol and the young man, known as Théo, left the 22-year-old with such severe wounds to the rectum that he required major emergency surgery and was declared incapacitated for 60 days.
The incident, part of which was caught on CCTV camera, sparked outrage and violent protests across France.
It came on the heels of months of protests that followed the death in July of another black youth, 24-year-old Adama Traore, who died of asphyxia while in police custody in Beaumont-sur-Oise, north of Paris.
Ghosts of 2005
Traore's death, and the perceived miscarriage of justice that followed when police were cleared of wrongdoing, reignited the simmering anger in France's most deprived suburbs, where officers are routinely accused of using excessive force against youths from ethnic minorities.
Rights groups have expressed fears that Théo's ordeal will also go unpunished, their suspicions heightened by a police investigation that suggested the 10-centimetre-deep penetration had been "accidental".
Both cases have stoked fears of a repeat of the huge riots that followed the 2005 deaths of teenagers Zyed Benna and Bouna Traore (no relation to Adama), who were electrocuted in a power station while hiding from police in the suburb of Clichy-sous-Bois.
President François Hollande, who visited Théo in hospital, has appealed for calm and for "justice to be served", urging his fellow nationals to "show that we are capable of living together in a peaceful society."

Clan Khorvaak is a custom clan of my own creation belonging to the Iron Hands chapter of the Adeptus Astartes (Space Marines). Khorvaak holds a much closer relationship to the Adeptus Mechanicus than the rest of the clans and as such holds many allies among the Imperial forces. Their primary recruiting world and ally in most of this is Forge World Gorgonum and its neighboring worlds in The Mining Ring of the Lapis System.
At base I'm primarily focusing on creating Clan Khorvaak's primary Clan Company. Down the line I'll be introducing other allied forces. The Clan will follow the "rule of cool" instead of hard codex rules and much of it will be played using homebrew or counts-as rules if it hits the table.
Clan Khorvaak Forces and Allies

A Simple 1966 Ford F-100 - Ferd
Simple is Better
Sometimes when you first see a rig you think, That's weird but I kind of like it! That's what we thought the first time we saw Kris Foresee's 1966 F-100. We remember seeing this simple yet effective—and different—truck for the first time at the Tierra Del Sol Desert Safari several years ago, long before shooting this feature. The bobbed bedsides and trimmed front fenders stand out in our memory, as do the simplicity and functionality. The bed looks like it has parts from an early Bronco grafted to the sides, but those bedsides are just the factory parts chopped down and trimmed to clear older 35-inch BFGs. Up front, just enough of the factory sheetmetal is still there to keep our attention and that retro vibe.
We're into different because in this line of work it gets pretty boring after looking at the new Jeep built the same way as the last. Kris Foresee, a machinist from Frasier Park, California, has built one unique Ford. The thing works pretty well too, with flexy suspension that helps the vintage sheetmetal up and over the notches and rocks in front of the truck.
This truck is not a polished show rig with tons of shop time, custom fab, and expensive parts to drool over. Not a one-off professional build yielding a truck that is worth more than the sum of its parts. It is simple and effective, built of parts that make sense without adding too many gadgets, frivolous parts, or weight. This yields a truck that is well used, reliable, and well loved. It doesn't have an expensive light bar or a fancy winch, but it does have towhooks and some good old KC HiLites attached to its retrotastic in-bed rollbar. What the truck also has is an engine that does what it needs to, a dead simple granny-geared transmission, axles that are just right for the tire size, two spares (used, with some life left in them), and good suspension. It has everything the owner needs, and it's unique.
Sure, we like buggies. Sure, we like custom-built expensive one-off rigs. But we also like things that work and things that are different. We like the fact that year after year we keep seeing this F-100 out at TDS, and we bet it will be there for years to come with Kris and his growing family.

Dim sum was a family tradition when I was growing up in Los Angeles. At least once a month, we'd head out for little steamer trays of delicate dumplings, fluffy buns and rice-noodle rolls filled with shrimp, beef or pork. When I moved to San Diego a decade ago, I took my folks out for weekend dim sum and ended up having an appalling meal at one of San Diego's popular restaurants. It was, and still is, a highly recommended place. And it was time to look elsewhere.
Over the years, I've found that San Diego's dim sum options aren't plentiful, but there are some lesser-known gems. Pearl Chinese Cuisine in Rancho Bernardo serves good dim sum from traditional push carts that circle the expansive dining room. The restaurant is located off Bernardo Center Drive on a nondescript side street surrounded by office buildings and strip malls. The interior is simple and clean with a lovely view of a pond and garden.
For the uninitiated, dim sum is a meal of small bites served as brunch or lunch. Hot tea is a big part of the meal; it helps cleanse the palate between sweet and savory dishes. Menus aren't readily available, so don't hesitate to ask the server what the cart contains.
Pearl's not as busy as its Convoy Street counterparts, but its dim sum offerings are generally quite tasty. On a recent visit, we started with the barbecued-pork buns, egg-custard buns and fried balls of taro filled with pork. The pork buns are white and fluffy, wrapped around a heaping tablespoon of meat. The same buns also come with a custard filling that's sweet and not too heavy. The fried taro balls were good, but the turnip cake was disappointing. Pearl's turnip cakes were bland and pre-seared, the crispy crust lost to steam and too much idle time. Searing them to order would have solved the problem.
I gravitated to a longtime favorite that's not often found among dim sum offerings: balls of ground shrimp rolled in sticky rice. Egg tarts, a sweet item, weren't the best in town, but they were decent. The rice-noodle rolls—big sheets of noodles wrapped around shrimp, beef or pork and served with soy sauce—were outstanding. Meatballs, dim sum-style, are steamed, resulting in a fantastic texture, and served with Worcestershire sauce. Like many Hong Kong-style interpretations of western dishes, the meatballs are an interesting blend of Chinese techniques on a non-Chinese classic.
The dumplings finally rolled out, and we dunked Pearl's well-executed har gow into chili oil. The starchy wrapper is translucent and the shrimp tender. Other varieties with the same wrapper are available, like shrimp and scallops. The siu mai—pork dumplings with a thin egg-based wrapper and open top—were also very good and available with pork or shrimp. While dumplings are dim sum staple, they're not the same as northern Chinese dumplings, which use a flour-based dough as wrapper.
Every item is assigned a category—small, medium or large—and each category's dishes are the same price. When you order, your bill's stamped in the corresponding section. Service is brisk, and don't hesitate to speak up with requests. All in all, Pearl does a great dim sum with classic dishes, a fine alternative to the bustle of Convoy Street.

August 1, 2002
Alexandria Fire Department's Marine Operations Team (MOT) is bracing for a lot more action as the number of crews working over the water on the Woodrow Wilson Bridge Project doubles in the next few months.
That was the prediction of Capt. Mike Beckett assessing the team's increased preparedness within the department. "The Woodrow Wilson Bridge Project now has approximately 150 people working over water. This is going to increase to nearly 300 in the months ahead," Beckett said. "That increase will probably be reflected in water-related accidents."
Until 1998, Alexandria Fire Department had only a minimal capability in responding to water-related emergencies. "The team really got formalized when a family fell into the river while boating on a warm February day," said Battalion Chief Chet Helms, who now heads the team.
"We send four or five firefighters each year to the Hampton Roads Marine Firefighting Symposium," Helms noted. Under the multiple sponsorship of a wide variety of maritime and fire organizations, the symposium is designed to familiarize land-based firefighters and maritime personnel on procedures necessary to handle water-related incidents connected with a port or waterway.
This year more than 100 firefighters from across the nation attended the week-long course on vessel construction and safety, firefighting tactics, incident command procedures, live burn evolution and contingency planning, among others. Capt. Glen Taylor from the Alexandria Department served as one of the instructors.
"We also have started having classes right here," Helms noted. "The concentration is primarily on fire suppression."
MOST OF THE CALLS received by the Alexandria crew center around rescues. "We've had nine such calls in the last 12 months. Everything from people falling overboard to jumpers from the Woodrow Wilson Bridge. In this area we are now considered the first-responders," Helms said.
"The opportunity for rescue operations is amazing," according to Firefighter Joseph Morabito. "We have had everything from someone going in the water being pulled in a tube by a motor boat to people jumping in the water after their dog and getting too far from their boat. The Fourth of July out here, on our part of the river, looked like I-95 at rush hour."
Although the Alexandria team is now up to 24 members, it is still behind in strength, according to Helms. "But we interface with all the other jurisdictions that have marine capabilities," he said.
The department has one hard-bottom boat, a 23-foot Seahawk powered by a 200-horsepower Yamaha outboard, and two 13-foot Zodiac inflatables with 35-horsepower outboards. "These are portable and enable us to get into very shallow water," Beckett explained. None has fire-suppression capabilities.
Boat 200, the hard-bottom, is anchored at City Dock, while both Zodiacs are housed at Station 204. The primary response station for Marine Operations is 201 at 317 Prince St. One Zodiac is always attached to a truck at Station 204.
Boat 200 can be operative within 4 1/2 minutes of a call, and both Zodiacs can get from the station to the river in approximately five minutes, according to Morabito. Each of the inflatables can carry a crew of three.
"We can also use the Zodiacs to do boom duties in the event of hazardous-material spills," he emphasized. "And they would be very helpful as stable platforms for firefighters who might have to go into the water when the river has ice on it."
Helms noted, "When we first started, we didn't encourage people [rescuers] to go into the water. Now we have a course in rescue swimming. And we have special equipment for going into icy water, and we are giving shipboard firefighting courses.
"But the more we get into it, the more we need to learn. Every time we have gotten a call, we have never failed to get the person out of the water successfully."
ALEXANDRIA MOT is composed of all volunteers. The personnel comes from engine and truck companies, according to Helms.
"Even though our jurisdiction area is small here, the increased boat traffic on the river has the potential for a major accident. The no-wake zone in our area has helped us tremendously. But, with the buildup along the waterfront, it seems that a tragedy is inevitable," Morabito speculated.
"For years we counted on D.C. to patrol the river. The establishment of this team had to be justified by our developing a better response time. That's why we focus on response time — to get help to the citizens as soon as possible," Helms emphasized.
"One of the problems is that most boaters use their cell phones in a case of emergency. Most don't have radio equipment. Cell-phone calls can be routed a number of different ways, and there's no way knowing exactly where they are unless they can be very specific," Morabito said.
In addition to river calls, Alexandria's MOT respond to calls on various bodies of water within the area. "Some of these can be just as treacherous as the river and in some ways more so because people don't view them in the same way," Morabito warned.
Each rescue operation carries the potential of tragedy not only for the victim but also for the first-responders. "Everybody is responsible to track everyone else on the boat at all times when we are on a call. That is an essential part of the operation," Morabito stressed.

It's possible to get or download caterpillar-wiring diagram from several websites. If you take a close look at the diagram you will observe the circuit includes the battery, relay, temperature sensor, wire, and a control, normally the engine control module. With an extensive collection of electronic symbols and components, it's been used among the most completed, easy and useful wiring diagram drawing program. M16 Lower Receiver Schematic. The wiring diagram on the opposite hand is particularly beneficial to an outside electrician. Sometimes wiring diagram may also refer to the architectural wiring program. The simplest approach to read a home wiring diagram is to begin at the source, or the major power supply. Basically, the home wiring diagram is simply utilized to reveal the DIYer where the wires are.
If you can't locate the information, get in touch with the manufacturer. The info in the diagram doesn't indicate a power or ground supply. The intention of the fuse is to safeguard the wiring and electrical components on its circuit. A typical watch's basic objective is to tell you the good time of day. When selecting the best type of computer cable to fulfill your requirements, it is very important to consider your upcoming technology plans.
Installing a tachometer on your Vehicles can assist in preventing critical repair problems, however. You might have a weak ground issue. The way the brain learns is a subject that still requires a good deal of study. How it learns can be associated by how it is able to create memories.
In a parallel circuit, each unit is directly linked to the power supply, so each system gets the exact voltage. There are 3 basic sorts of standard light switches. The circuit needs to be checked with a volt tester whatsoever points. M16 Lower Receiver Schematic. Each circuit displays a distinctive voltage condition. You are able to easily step up the voltage to the necessary level utilizing an inexpensive buck-boost transformer and steer clear of such issues. The voltage is the sum of electrical power produced by the battery. Be sure that the new fuse isn't blown, and carries the very same amperage.
Each fuse is going to have a suitable amp rating for those devices it's protecting. The wiring is merely a bit complicated. Our automotive wiring diagrams permit you to relish your new mobile electronics in place of spend countless hours attempting to work out which wires goes to which Ford part or component. Overall the wiring is really straight forward. There's a lot wiring that you've got to tie into your truck's wiring harness, but it's much easier to do than it seems. A ground wire offers short circuit protection and there's no neutral wire used. There's one particular wire leading from the distributor which may be used for the tachometer.
When you have just a single cable going into the box, you're at the close of the run, and you've got the simplest scenario possible. All trailer plugs and sockets are extremely easy to wire. The adapter has the essential crosslinks between the signals. Wiring a 7-pin plug on your truck can be a bit intimidating when you're looking at it from beyond the box.
The control box may have over three terminals. After you have the correct size box and have fed the cable to it, you're almost prepared to permit the wiring begin. Then there's also a fuse box that's for the body controls that is situated under the dash. M16 Lower Receiver Schematic. You will find that every circuit has to have a load and every load has to have a power side and a ground side. Make certain that the transformer nameplate power is enough to supply the load that you're connecting.
The bulb has to be in its socket. Your light can be wired to the receiver and don't require supply additional capacity to light as it can get power from receiver. In the event the brake lights aren't working, a police officer may block the vehicle and issue a warning to create the repair within a particular time limit. Even though you would still must power the relay with a power source or battery. Verify the power is off before trying to attach wires.

Replacing thermostat on your own without a Denver HVAC technician can be quite harrowing if you don't hook up the wiring correctly. After the plumbing was cut out, now you can get rid of the old pool pump. It's highly recommended to use a volt meter to make sure there is no voltage visiting the motor, sometimes breakers do not get the job done properly, also you might have turned off the incorrect breaker. Remote distance is left up to 500m. You may use a superior engine ground. The second, that's the most frequently encountered problem, is a weak ground in the computer system. Diagnosing an electrical short can be extremely tough and costly.

I have an instance of
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.2.0-25-virtual i686) running as a KVM-VM on a host-machine that runs one more VM beside it.
I deploy a Ruby on Rails application using the Capistrano deployment-gem.
However, if I deploy twice in a row in a short time, the CPU usage jumps to 100% because of the
/sbin/getty process.
How can this be?
I believe getty is a rather simple program that passes a login-name from a terminal to a login-process.
Also: In my Capfile (Capistrano configuration file) I am running certain commands after the Rails application is deployed including a call to
sudo /sbin/restart <APPNAME> which is an upstart task.
Could this be related somehow?
I can always kill the getty process and the problem is gone until the next deployment, but I would rather understand and fix the problem.
Any help is appreciated. Attached is a screenshot of my problem.

It does make October more alien and menacing. I like it!
great comic, never read one like it and absolutely enjoying, hope you keep at it :-)
I know you've been playing with ambiguity the entire time you've been doing the comic. Took me a long time to gather that all the demon buggers are Taylor's mental manifestations of the corporation that Taylor has escaped from...at least I think so. Not sure whether that corporation is also named "October" or not?
And that they're all morphing in/out/from the central demon figure, who here is morphing around the same form as the wolf-demon outside the door.
And, at this point at least, THAT monsta is also ambiguously 1. real, or 2. a swamp-voodoo fabrication, or 3. an alter-demon of October's own making.
(I liked the panel where Ziggy's croc-buddy was trying to tell the wolfmonsta that Taylor did not equal food!...but the wolf didn't listen to the croc....)
Of course, what October is telling Taylor here could in fact be true - that she can ultimately be controlled like a puppet by October...all part of the ambiguity you've been maintaining very nicely throughout! :^]
@John Andre Butler: Haha kind of.... maybe I'm just recycling character designs.
@Larkie: Or taylor read your comic and Saturday adopted a form she would be sympathetic to from her memories. You so meta.
