The Light Warrior is the final boss of Attack the Light and returns in Save the Light as the penultimate boss.
Attack the Light
It is located in the Fire Zone and is the combined light of all the Prism Monsters. Its fighting style is based on randomizing the Prism Monsters' abilities by shifting to their specific color.
(Ability titles presumed from gameplay, not official)
- Cumulative Strength: Being the combined energy of all the previous bosses fought, it has all their powers, as well as the powers of the unfought Lights.
- Light Change: White Light will change its color. The color White Light changes into determines which attack it will use next.
- Blue Shock: Blue Light skill. White Light will take aim and fire a blue electrified orb towards a Gem. If not blocked, the Gem will be paralyzed for a couple of turns.
- Red Fireball: Red Light skill. The creature will charge a large red ball in its left hand and throw it towards a Gem. If not blocked, the Gem will be inflicted with the burned status.
- Orange Barrage: Orange Light skill. The creature will take aim to the sky and fire, one by one, three orange fireballs that are targeted toward each Gem (Garnet, Pearl, then Amethyst). If the attack successfully connects, it will lower the target's defense.
- Green Heal: Green Light skill. The creature will do a dance that will restore 50 HP.
- Indigo Spawn: Indigo Light skill. The creature will occasionally summon small scorpions to aid it in battle. Unlike Indigo Light, it summons red scorpions instead of indigo.
- Indigo Laser: Indigo Light skill. White Light will shoot a laser beam that attacks one Gem. It cannot be blocked by quick time actions but can be blocked by Steven's Bubble. White Light will always use this move if the player picks the wrong dialogue choice.
Boss Fight
White Light has all the powers of the previously fought bosses and more. Once its health is low enough to be immune to any attack, it will begin communicating with Steven clearly. At this point, the player must choose the right dialogue box, or White Light will interrupt with Indigo Laser.
- Despite their not being fought in the game, White Light has the powers of Violet Light, Yellow Light, and Red Light.
- However, the White Light does not have a form correlating to the Violet Light.
- The boss does not have an attack with the Yellow Light form but will always communicate to Steven in this form.

Balance the Intensities of Lights in Close-Up Photography
The studio can be a close-up photographer's best friend. It's a totally controlled environment, meaning there's wind only if you choose to create it, light comes from whatever direction you wish it to, and the subject matter is as interesting as you yourself can provide.
When working with multiple light sources, you need to balance the intensity of your lights in order to control the level of contrast you want in your images.
Two factors determine the brightness of a light source: The light's power setting and how close it is to the subject.
If one light is set to be much brighter than another and they are at an equal distance from the subject, the brighter light has a greater effect on your exposure.
If two lights are set to the same brightness and are at an equal distance from your subject, then they have an equal effect on your exposure.
If two lights are set to an equal power setting, the closest light to the subject appears brighter in your exposure.
To control the shadows and contrast in an image you must expose for your key light and adjust your fill light accordingly. The brighter your fill light is in relation to the key light, the brighter your shadows will be.
If you want to maintain some mystery by having dark shadow areas, try to ensure your fill light is at least three stops dimmer than your key light. You can tweak the settings of battery-operated flash units and strobe lights to control their intensity. If you're using lights that don't have a range of power settings, simply move them away from your subject to make them dimmer.
Increasing the intensity of your fill light in relation to that of your key light brightens your shadow areas and provides less drama in a scene. Notice in the figure how the subject is represented in three separate ways simply by changing the intensity of the fill light.
The first image provides a dramatic look with three stops of contrast between the key and fill lights. (The fill light is underexposed by three stops when your camera exposes for the key light source.) In the middle image, raising the level of the fill light by one stop reduced the contrast, and in the last image, the intensity level of the fill light was raised another stop.

We're starting to hear more talk about "stimulus." I put "stimulus" in quotes, following my usual practice of placing a latex barrier around other people's ideas, so nobody gets infected. Just the word, "stimulus," carries certain assumptions and expectations which are often flawed from the beginning. It implies that the economy is sort of lagging around due to its own difficulties, and that the government is an independent savior, an economic paramedic or something like that. Smells like more metaphor economics. Very often, the problems are caused by the government itself, through taxes, regulation or mismanagement of the currency. Also, it tends to lead to certain short-term "solutions" that rarely achieve anything at all except to distract policymaker's attention during the time that it takes to devise a plan, pass it through the legislative process, implement it, and wait and see what the results are. There's 12 or 18 months right there, during which the government could have been thinking about real solutions, but instead is distracted by "stimulus." Then, when the "stimulus" is deemed to have been somewhat ineffective, what comes next? Usually, more "stimulus." In this way, months stretch into years, and perhaps years into decades. The Japanese government has been so fascinated by "stimulus" over the years that they still haven't figured out that they helped blow up the property sector themselves with huge tax increases in the early 1990s. Maybe they should do something about that hmmmm? (I have some hope for the new prime minister, Taro Aso, because Aso is indeed the one and only upper-rank Japanese politician I know of that correctly identified the huge tax hikes as a major contributor to the collapse of the property market in Japan — the short-term capital gains tax rate on property went to 90% for several years, if I recall — and recommended returning to the successful property tax system of the 1980s.)
I was just watching an interview with Paul Krugman (unfortunately no link) where he said that yes, the government needs to spend some money quickly on "stimulus." However, he cautioned against any sort of long-term, complicated plan — like investment in rail infrastructure perhaps? — that would take a long time to work out the details and implement. We need the "stimulus" right now! Also, the stimulators typically want things that are sort of self-contained. If all you're looking for is a pop in the next quarter's GDP, you don't want to get involved in a multi-year investment project. This is all a recipe for something that accomplishes absolutely zero. It's a movie I've seen before. Over time, they may even conclude that it makes the most sense to just mail out some checks in the mail, again, which would have roughly the same effect as the last round of checks in the mail. (I didn't notice anything. Did you?) After a few years, we might discover that all those repeated "stimulus" efforts added up to jack squat, and another half-trillion to a trillion in extra debt (could be more at this rate), when we could have had a nice rail system instead.
The other sort of "stimulus" typically recommended at this time is monetary tomfoolery, normally the "interest rate cut." I've mentioned that these "interest rate cuts" don't really accomplish anything that the market economy wouldn't do by its own self in an environment of recession, except perhaps to devalue the currency. A currency devaluation can produce "stimulus" for a short while — unfortunately, it really works, which is why it is still popular over these thousands of years — but it tends to lead to long-term impairment and decline. You can't devalue yourself to prosperity, but you can devalue yourself to a six-month economic lift.
You could also try cutting taxes. If the tax cut was meaningful, it might help bring the economy out of the recession. Certainly there are many examples of this, such as Margaret Thatcher's big tax cuts at the beginning of the 1980s. It not only helped resolve the recession of the time, it helped bring Britain out of an economic funk that it had been in since the huge tax hikes of the First World War.
However, it is somehow inherent in the ideology of "stimulus" that we do not do anything that has any meaningful long-term effects, like tax reform, or investment in a rail system. (I'm using a rail system as my personal example of a government spending plan of some value, but you can insert your own.) It is practically an ideology of waste, from first principles. Politicians are not exactly unhappy with this arrangement, as it gives them plenty of opportunity to "stimulate" their political allies, with maybe a little stimulus of their offshore bank accounts thrown in.
Some countries, such as in Eastern Europe, are now having currency problems. As members of the eurozone, they should have pegged their currencies to the euro using currency boards. Alas, for various political reasons this was not done. Now, they are suffering the effects of monetary mismanagement in addition to whatever other problems they may have. Obviously, what these countries need is not "stimulus" but competent government policy, especially currency management. Instead, they're getting the IMF, which is typically when things go from bad to worse in these matters. I wish I had a couple months just to investigate the IMF's new round of activities. They may have learned a few things over the last decade — their "economic Death Star" reputation is rather embarassing — but, I'm guessing, not very much. These governments could still peg their currencies to the euro, tomorrow, with currency boards. That would help solve the problem there.
The private economy, in my estimation, is somewhat unresponsive to government influence except through the avenues of tax and monetary policy. Thus, when the government is called on to "do something", it basically has a choice of a) cutting taxes, or b) devaluing the currency, or c) a bunch of stuff that is mostly irrelevant. (I support some welfare-directed activities. They can be meaningful from the standpoint of welfare, but not very meaningful in terms of the economy.) I would take the one that creates a long-term benefit (tax cuts) rather than long-term decline (currency devaluation), even if both arguably provide some sort of improvement in the short term. The government might have had a role in oversight of the banking system in prior years, and who knows maybe that would have helped to avoid the present situation, but that chance has certainly passed by now. Since a reorganization of the financial industry, and related regulation, is likely in coming years, maybe I'll talk about that in the near future.

Higher spending, higher taxes: Barney Frank explains what is probably conventional wisdom among Democrats at this time:
"I think that at this point, there needs to be a focus on an immediate increase in spending, and I think this is a time when deficit fear has to take a second seat. I do think this is a time for a very important dose of Keynesianism. I believe later on, there should be tax increases. Speaking personally, I think there are some very rich people out there whom we can tax at a point down the road, and recover some of this money."
One of the thing that Keynes can be credited for is the notion that deficits should be ignored during recession. Deficits tend to emerge naturally, as revenues decline. But, also, often in a recession there is a call for welfare-type distributions, and the government can genuinely help a lot of people out by meeting some basic needs. This tends to mean even larger deficits. The idea that deficits are bad is what led conservative politicians to enact huge tax hikes in the early 1930s, which created vastly larger problems.
As it is, though, Barney Frank's idea is virtually identical to Herbert Hoover's: public works "stimulus" spending and, a couple years later, big tax hikes. And, actually, Roosevelt did much the same thing, which is why the Depression dragged on through the decade.
People never learn.
(Actually, there is some talk that Obama is going to put a lid on his party's tax-hiking enthusiasm, reasoning that it would not be such a good thing to do in a recession. So, maybe someone really did learn something.)
Thus far, the economic problems have been largely a matter of financial system weakness, and an end to a bubble-like credit binge, especially among consumers. Those problems remain largely unresolved. However, it looks like we will now add more problems in 2009, tax hikes and monetary instability, namely inflation. Roosevelt also devalued the dollar in 1933, but repegged it to gold, keeping things relatively sound. It is hard to say what the outcome of Ben Bernanke's silliness will be. He obviously thinks that Roosevelt's devaluation was too little, too late. A total blowout is certainly possible.
The thing that really blows a market economy to flinders is the combination of inflation and price controls. When the controlled selling price is less than the cost of production, production ceases. The only remaining economy is the black market economy. The combination of hyperinflation and price controls will crush an economy down to dust. It is now on the horizon as a possible future, although still unlikely on balance.

Thank you readers! Would you believe that the October 2008 website stats are 18 times higher than October 2006? Maybe that is more a reflection of October 2006's tiny base than anything. But, it is nice to see that there is interest in these sorts of issues.

Boat Security Systems
Safety, Security & Peace Of Mind For Your Vessel
By Tom Neale
Open hatches, absent owners, and expensive electronics can all make your boat vulnerable to thieves. Luckily, there are a myriad of products now available to stave off intruders. (Photo: Thinkstock)
My first boat security system cost around 10 bucks. It came from RadioShack and wasn't just for boats. Two little components were fastened to my hatch and hatch frame with sticky tape. When their magnets separated, an alarm sounded. It always let me know when the sticky tape came unstuck, except when I wasn't onboard. If I were a thief, I'd have simply pulled the alarm component off and thrown it overboard. Today, boat security systems have gotten much more sophisticated and can cost anywhere from $100 upwards. They can tell you anything you want to know (but perhaps wish you didn't). It's simply a matter of what you need, and how far you want to go for protection.
Types Of Systems
Simplistically put, notification of alarm events can be at three different levels.
- Local alarm only: alerts those onboard or on a nearby pier that there's an alarm event.
- Remote communication: alerts a distant owner or monitoring center via cell phone or satellite, using text, voice, or email.
- Interactive: systems that allow owner to effect responses.
The last two require an appropriate communications capability on your boat — either cellular or other Internet access device, and/or a satellite communications device. These may be a part of the system you purchase. With some systems, you pay a one-time fee to build your system, or a fee to establish a basic system, which you may add to later. With systems that communicate, you also pay a recurring fee for monitoring and communications.
Types Of Sensors
Systems can utilize multiple sensors, depending on what you wish to monitor and how much you're willing to pay. The sensor is the device that detects an alarm event, then communicates via the system to a local alarm or monitoring service or owner. That which a sensor monitors is often referred to as a "zone." For example, a hatch may be referred to as "zone 1."
We're all familiar with high-water, fire, and intrusion sensors. But even these have different levels of sophistication. For example, there are sensors not just for high water but also for irregular bilge-pump cycles, which would indicate future flooding. We're also familiar with "burglar sensors," which tell that a door or hatch is open. Sensors can now detect deck vibration to indicate that someone has stepped aboard. Motion sensors can alert to motion within the secured cabin spaces. Sensors can also tell you if the engine has been started, if there is a dangerous noise such as glass breaking, or even if the boat has moved away from the dock, or from a GPS-determined perimeter around a mooring. You can even get sensors that let you know if a cockpit cover or bimini has been unsnapped.
There are also sensors that can detect when a component such as a radar or chartplotter or outboard has been disconnected. At this point, it may be too late for a remote owner to intercede, but you can buy systems that can track the boat or outboard using GPS. Many systems include cameras that record, like a typical security camera in a store, or also broadcast so that you can see what's happening aboard even though you're not there. This may allow you to make a more informed decision as to the action you'd like to take.
The information "sensed" must be effectively communicated. Do you want just a bilge alarm that sets off a horn so that those at the dock know you've got a problem, or do you want it to let you know even if you're on another continent? And do you want the ability to "do something" remotely? The range of possibilities is huge.
Talking Back
When you can respond to your boat, you can do things such as turn on floodlights. This is handy for scaring off boarders and also handy when you're going to arrive at the marina after dark. You can kill your engine(s) if you've been notified that the boat has moved beyond its designated perimeter. You can switch to a different battery bank for more pumping power, or release deterrent gases inside the cabin spaces.
Some Sample Options
The following examples may help determine what is appropriate for you. Product options and prices change frequently. There are additional choices not represented here. Be sure that your product will have stable and long-term support. Get it in writing.

SPOT Trace | $99 ($99 yearly service) findmespot.com
Small (2-inch-tall) battery-powered GPS tracker sends alerts to your cell phone if movement is detected. View your boat's coordinates from your smartphone or online at any time.
Before You Buy
Once you've decided what you want to know and how you want to be notified, it's important to consider how the systems work on your boat. Quality is always important, but particularly so in a marine environment. For example, most security systems beyond a simple high-water local alarm have small dedicated "computers" (control units) to handle the event. There may be a benefit to having your sensors communicate to the computer wirelessly. Wire runs on a boat can be difficult and expensive to install and subject to corrosion or even destruction by the event itself. However, inter-component wireless communication must be on frequencies that don't suffer from interference from other broadcasters or cause such interference.
Other issues include attention to details of sensitivity. Motion sensors within a cabin can be helpful, but not if they're going to pick up a curtain swaying as the boat moves. And most boats at one point or another may pick up a cockroach or two, or a rodent. A motion sensor must be oriented and programmed to sense only alarm events, not normal boating occurrences. There are sensors that exclude "body mass" below a certain limit or movement below a certain height. A vibration sensor mounted under a deck to detect someone stepping aboard may be far more useful if you can turn it on and off remotely. A marina employee may need to step aboard to protect your boat or one nearby. Also it should differentiate between a step aboard and the boat's lightly hitting the dock because of a gust of wind or a wake. And be sure to get a reliable company that you know will be around to monitor and/or service your system.
Yet another issue is power source. Typically alarm systems are powered by the DC battery banks – usually the most reliable power source aboard. But batteries fail and a good system should have built-in backup batteries. Usually the sensor itself is exclusively battery powered, and a quality sensor alerts you if its internal batteries are near depletion. These are but a few of the quality issues you should consider as you decide the type of security system you want.
Do Your Homework
To learn more about specific products, use a search engine such as Google and enter "boat security systems" and similar terms. You'll be amazed at the choices and range of prices. Some products are easily installable by the owner; others are more likely to require professional installation. Generally, once you move beyond the "bilge float/alarm" level, systems begin at several hundred dollars and go up, depending on what you want.
Note that a retail price advertised for a system may be only for the control unit or perhaps a few sensors. As you add sensors and features, you add to the price. Some people add sensors later. But be aware that the basic control unit will have its limits as to features you can add. Some, for example, allow very few additional zones (capacity to add a sensor) while some have many. See the sidebar for some examples, what they can do, and what you'll pay to install them aboard.

If it is remote Scottish cottages you want, then we have one of the remotest!
Duchally Lodge is a truly remote Scottish cottage. Set in Glen Cassley, it is reached by a 12 mile single track road (tarmacked) which stops at the lodge. The lodge sits on its own other than for the Stalker's cottage which is right next door, though the stalker and his wife will be there if you need them but other than that you'll be left entirely on your own. (Most of our guests really like the idea of having someone on hand who works on the estate and know everything about the area and the lodge, but equally won't disturb you in any way.)
The lodge sleeps up to eight guests in its 2 double and 2 twin bedrooms. Rated an impressive 4 star by the Scottish Tourist Board, the property enjoys a surprisingly high degree of luxury given its remote location. There's also broadband and satellite TV so you can certainly stay connected with the outside world.
What makes Duchally Lodge so special though is what's outside: an amazing and wild landscape. There are endless walks which can start right outside the lodge, with one of them including a hike to the top of Ben More Assynt. And it's because of this wild landscape that Duchally not only attracts walkers, but those with a real love of nature and the chance of seeing something truly special such as a Golden Eagle.
So for one of the most remote scottish cottages but also with a high degree of comfort, Duchally Lodge is hard to beat.

Project"Understanding the patterns and causes of variability in distribution, habitat use, abundance, survival and reproductive rates of three species of cetacean in the Alborán Sea, western Mediterranean". Funded by Office for Naval Research, US.
The aims of this project are:
(1) Quantify relationships between measures of cetacean population ecology, dynamics and status (distribution, habitat use, abundance, survival and reproductive rates) and variation in the marine environment (physical and biological oceanography, prey distribution and relative abundance) for the three focal species (long-finned pilot whales and common and bottlenose dolphins)over the last 18 years in the Alborán Sea;
(2) Test the hypothesis that environmental changes have had a greater effect on cetacean species that feed at lower trophic levels;
(3) Explore the relative contribution of environmental variation and anthropogenic activities on cetacean population changes;
(4) Quantify the effect of moving the Cabo de Gata TSS (the source of major noise pollution) on the distribution and abundance of the three focal species.
(5) Predict responses of the three focal species to future environmental change under a range of scenarios;
(6) Assess how well cetaceans can serve as indicators of environmental change in the marine environment and of "ocean health" generally.

Former Abington Hospital administrator, yoga teacher, freelance writer and local resident Mary Nearpass is a role model for resilience, for overcoming the most traumatic knockout punches that life can deliver.
In the summer of 1975, before she entered college, her older brother died, and her parents were separated. In the following year, things got much worse. In her first semester at Millersville University in central Pennsylvania, she was gang-raped by a group of freshmen football players. She was 17.
She had never previously had intimate relations with a man. She never reported the crime. Over her entire freshman year, she continued to be raped by the school's quarterback. She never had the courage to use the baseball bat she kept for protection.
"Biggest mistake of my life," said Nearpass, during a recent interview, about the fact that she never told anyone about the horrific crime until four years later. The quarterback's father and her father were friends. The rapist told her no one would believe her story, and she believed him.
Mary had been a type-A, straight-A student at Abington High School. After the treacherous crime at Millersville, Nearpass continued along her path of overachievement as if by accomplishing great things she could replace what had been stolen.
"I had the disease to please," recalls Nearpass, 57, a Willow Grove resident. "I kind of didn't have a self."
Mary's self-esteem had disappeared. She recalls working in the university's cafeteria kitchen and seeing "those monsters" who had raped her. She couldn't eat. The sight of food made her want to throw up. Soon she was anorexic before she even knew what the word meant.
Nearpass had entered college a healthy 5'8" and 135 pounds. When she graduated four years later in 1979, after avoiding and ignoring the issue that had ravaged her body and stole her self-esteem and self-confidence, she was down to 85 pounds.
Eating disorders have become increasingly common among the young. Ninety-one percent of women surveyed on a college campus had attempted to control their weight through dieting, according to the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders (ANAD), and 86 percent of students reported the onset of an eating disorder by age 20.
At Millersville, people began asking Mary about her dramatic weight loss. Some girls, apparently envious, even asked what her secret was. "I had a four-year disassociation," she said. "I just went numb in order to move on … My parents had enough of their own shit."
Mary also became bulimic. She had to eat in order not to starve, but after eating she would often throw up. She was caught in a wrestling match against anorexia and bulimia that lasted until she was 33.
All the while she worked by day and took classes at night, earning two master's degrees. "When you have an eating disorder, you're not thinking clearly," she said. "You're missing periods. Your hair falls out. Your brain's powers suffer from a lack of proper nutrients."
Now, as a freelance writer for magazines like PhillyFit, Prevention and Ladies Home Journal, among others, Nearpass is telling the story of overcoming personal demons like addiction, eating disorders and trauma through the tales of other individuals who have tread through the same emotional quicksand. The stories are both harrowing and uplifting.
Like the story of a soldier in his 20s who had his legs amputated after returning from Afghanistan. He could earn a master's degree online, but he insists on taking his classes at school with his fellow students.
Nearpass, one of nine children from an Irish-Catholic family that moved to Abington from upstate New York when she was 9, has overcome her personal tragedies through her faith and state of mind. "Life is 10 percent what happens to you and 90 percent how you react," she said.
After college, Nearpass, who had majored in elementary education, took a job in the Saint Alphonsus Parish Community in Upper Dublin teaching kindergarten and music. "You tell yourself that you're all better; you're cured," she said.
After three years, she took a job with Nutrisystem as a weight-loss counselor. She became regional manager and at the same time earned her first master's degree (in health education) in 1983.
Nearpass later became a medical staff coordinator at Abington Hospital and remained there for 11 years. During that time she married, though she is now separated. When Nearpass was seven months pregnant with her first daughter, Hannah, now 16, she left work at the hospital.
She then worked for Holy Redeemer Hospital in Meadowbrook for five years, followed by a job with a non-medical health company. But in 2002 her second pregnancy had complications that led to 15 weeks on bed rest. While in the hospital, three months into her new job, she received a certified letter informing her she had been laid off.
Mary's second daughter was born six weeks prematurely. The next two years were full of surgeries. The baby, Riley, is now 12. "That was pretty tough to take," said Nearpass.
Mary eventually got a job as a proofreader for Prevention Magazine in Emmaus, Lehigh County, and eventually became a certified teacher in 2004 (she was already a certified massage therapist). She also taught classes at nearby L.A. Fitness centers. In 2009, however, she was in a horrific car accident and broke her back.
Doctors told her by the time she reached her mid-50s she'd be confined to a wheelchair. "This was not an option for me," said Nearpass, who regularly swims and lifts weights.
She has also written a book, "Dead Woman Walking" about "how I was for 15 years existing, not living." She is seeking a quality publisher for the book.
In the May 29 issue of the Local, Mary wrote an article about Jillian Gasper, 26, who managed to hide her bulimia while an All-Catholic high school soccer player and all through college.
Nearpass wants everyone to keep in mind that beauty, like fashion, is a trend. The most important thing, she insists, is to be aware of who you are, maintain a positive self-image and know you are a valuable human being.
"Women will change their bodies to whatever is fashionable at the time," she said. "Marilyn Monroe would be considered fat today." Several reliable studies have shown that more than one-half of teenage girls and nearly one-third of teenage boys are using unhealthy weight control methods such as skipping meals, fasting, smoking cigarettes, vomiting and taking laxatives.

"All I think about is yesterday," sings Barry Gibb at the start of his first solo album in 32 years, in a staccato familiar from his decades in the Bee Gees. "I need you here in the now."
His plea appears to address an elusive lover. But, on a deeper level, it alludes to the many family members he has lost over the years. That list includes his youngest brother, Andy (gone at age 30, after a history of drug abuse, in 1988); his two siblings in the Bee Gees, Maurice (who died of an intestinal blockage at 53 in 2003) and Robin (of cancer at 62 in 2012); as well as their 95-year-old mother, Barbara, who passed away in August.
The song, "In the Now," serves as the title track of Mr. Gibb's new album, due on Friday. "I really wanted to show people everything I've experienced," Mr. Gibb, 70, said. "This is my life flow."
He said that he could fully explore it only after losing all his brothers. "I've always had to deal with people not wanting me to put solo albums out," he said, with a laugh. "It's a group, you see, and no one wanted us to do anything on our own."
In fact, two earlier solo attempts by Mr. Gibb were never released: "The Kid's No Good," recorded in 1970, whose masters were lost, and an unnamed work in the late '80s. Mr. Gibb's sole previous solo effort to be issued, "Now, Voyager," arrived in 1984. In a sense, even the new album came about by default. "It would never have crossed my mind that someday I would be in this situation — where there was no one else around to make music with," the singer said.
From his home in Miami, Mr. Gibb spoke by phone about the survivor's guilt he has experienced as the last living Bee Gee, his complex relationship with his brothers, as well as the new songs that aim to put it all into perspective. These are edited excerpts from the conversation.
Your father, who died in 1992, acted as your first manager when you and your brothers performed as teenagers in Australia in the early '60s. How popular were you there?
As kids, we were always on television in Australia. It took a lot of gall and strength for us to leave the country I loved to try our luck in England. We went because the Beatles and the Hollies were doing all of these fantastic harmonies and we knew we could do that. The month that "Strawberry Fields Forever" came out in 1967, we tried to get signed. We didn't have any money, and me and my father went to all of the agents and nobody wanted to sign.
After Robert Stigwood did sign the Bee Gees, you had two very separate periods of success: First, in the late '60s — with hits often sung by Robin, like "Massachusetts" and "I Started a Joke" — then in the mid- to late-'70s, with the disco-era songs fronted by you. What effect did such a pitched career arc have on you?
Our career was an up, then a down, then an up, and then a down again. We would have a huge hit, followed by a flop. We never had a chance to build an ego, or a strong attitude towards what we did, because we were always on the defensive to prove ourselves.
There was also pressure from within the group, correct?
There was always an enormous competition between me and Robin. Over time, he was becoming more and more distracted, probably by substances. We all had our problems with smoking or pills or booze. But Robin almost came to the end of his rationale at one point. Some people have said of us, "You were competing with Abba or with the Jacksons." But, to us, we were competing with each other. Whatever Phil Collins had with Genesis, we would all have liked to have had that.
You wrote the song "End of the Rainbow," which appears on the new album, for Robin, though he never told you directly that he was dying of cancer. Was there resentment over him withholding that information?
I suppose there is. But I try to put myself in his place and maybe I wouldn't tell him either. Robin didn't want to be treated as an invalid. He denied he was sick until it was obvious, visibly. Robin was passing and I came to the hospital in London and sang the song to him, although he was in a coma. I don't know whether or not he heard it. But it helped me.
The track "End of the Rainbow" is a country song. Wasn't the whole new album originally meant to be country?
I began by gravitating towards the music I particularly loved when we started. You've got to remember that in Australia in 1958, country music was rock 'n' roll. Roy Orbison and Johnny Cash were rock stars, though now we know them to be country stars. I spent so much time in Nashville, but my record company told me that they'd have a lot of trouble getting me on country radio, and I think that's probably true. You don't just walk into Nashville and say, "Accept me."
At one point on the album you sing, "If tears were diamonds/ I'd be a rich man now." Given all your losses, have you experienced any survivor's guilt?
Absolutely. First of all, I'm the oldest brother, and being the eldest always makes you want to watch out for your brothers, even when they don't want you to. I thought I should have gone first. Once you lose three brothers, what you learn is very, very deep. At this time in my life, I think of birth and death as two elements of the same thing. This is going to happen to us all, no matter what. So now I seize this very moment.

Indian Flag
Indian flag means tiranga has many interesting attributes creating it unique. Indian flag represents India's long freedom struggle. It shows the status of India and Independent republic. India's constituent assembly adopted the design of the National Flag on 22nd July, 1947. The code regulates display and use of the Idian flag. The late Prime Minister Pandit Nehru called it as a symbol of feedom not only for ourselves but for all people.
History of Indian Flag
Indian flag history started from the 20th century to pre-independence period. Irish disciple of Swami Vivekananda made the first national flag in 1904. Her name was sister Nivedita and then after the flag came to be known as sister Nivedita's flag. This flag was designed using colors yellow and red. Yellow color signified symbol of success and red color shows freedom struggle. Bengali word "Bonde Matoram" was written on it. The flag contained figure of 'Vajra', weapon for god 'Indra' and a white lotus in the center. The Vajra signified strength and lotus shows depicts purity.
In 1906, another Indian flag was designed after Sister Nivedita's flag. It was designed using three colors: blue, yellow and red. This flag blue strip had 8 stars of slightly various shapes, red strip had 2 symbols. The first one symbol was the sun and second symbol was the star. The yellow strip color had 'Vande Mataram' written on Devnagiri script.
Again in 1906 only another version of this flag came into existence that contained orange, yellow and green colors. This flag was known as 'Lotus flag' or Calcutta flag'. This flag signified the Indian unity and capacity of freedom struggle.
In 22 August 1907, Shyamji Krishna Varma, Madam Bhikaji Cama and Veer Savarkar had designed a new flag. This flag was called as Madam Bhikaji Cama flag. This flag was similar to flag in 1906 with the exemption colors and the flower closest to hoist. In 1907, the flag was hosted in foreign country Germany first time. Thus this flag was also referred as Berlin Committee flag. This flag was made up of three colors green followed by golden saffron and the red color at the bottom. It had "Vande Mataram" written on it.
In 1916, the new flag was designed by Lokamanya Tilak and Dr. Annie Besant's. Congress session hosted this flag in Calcutta. Colors used for this flag are white, green, blue and red. Each color was used in striped manner. The five red and four green strips represents Singh and Nair, the white strip color signified seven stars of Saptarishi.
In 1917, the new flag was adopted by Bal Ganga Dhar Tilak. Bal Ganga Dhar Tilak was the leader of the Home Rule League. This flag had union jack at top, near hoist. At that time the status of Dominion was being demanded for India. This flag signified seven stars of "Saptashi". This flag contains four blue and five red strips. It had a semi-circular moon and a star on the top fly end. This flag did not become popular in masses.
In 1921, Mahatma Gandhi designed the new flag containing three colors: white, green and red. White color on the top of this flag signified truth. In the middle of this flag green color shows the earth and Indian agriculture. Red color on the bottom of this flag signified spirit and freedom struggle. This flag pattern was based on the flag of Ireland.
In 1931, Pingali Venkayya was designed a new flag. It also has three colors white, green and saffron. Saffron color was at the top of this flag, white in the middle and the green at the bottom. The saffron color signified the strength. The white color shows truth and the green color signified the earth and the Indian agriculture. In the center of this flag there was 'Charkha' in blue color.
In 1947, the flag with three colors was accepted by Indian and the whole country. A National flag of India was adopted by the three colors in 1947. While a result, the flag in 1931 was adopted as Indian flag but 'Charkha' in the center was replaced by 'Wheel' (Chakra). In this way our National flag came into being.
Description of Indian Flag (Tiranga)
In 22nd July 1947, the National flag of India was adopted by Indian constituent assembly. Its use of the flag is regulated by a certain regulations. Pingali Venkayya designed the National flag of India. The flag signified struggle for freedom for every people.
The National flag of India is designed with horizontal strips of three colors (Tiranga) of deep kesari (saffron) at the top, white in the center and dark green on the bottom in equal proportions. The saffron color shows sacrifice, courage and strength, the white color signified truth and purity; the green color shows fertility and faith. On white band at the center, there is Chakra in navy blue to show the Dharma Chakra, the charka of law in the Sarnath lion capital. The charka is known as 'Ashoka Chakra. It has 24 spokes. It shows that there is life in movement and death in stagnation. The center symbol the Chakra (wheel) was a Buddhist symbol in back to 200th century B.C.
Manufacturing of Indian flag
Indian flag manufacturing is put up by committee. This committee is called as 'Bureau of Indian Standards'. It also lays our rules regarding flag hosting. It specifies the color, cloth, dye, thread count and everything on the flag. The Indian flag (tiranga) can only be made up of 'Khadi'. It is manufactured from two kinds of khadi one for its major part and the second part for the cloth which holds flag to the staff.

On Wednesday, the company collected close to Rs19,000 crore, nearly five times the upper end of the issue size and which market players described as the most by a private issuer on the first day of a public bond sale. The core issue size was Rs1,000 crore, with an option to take the total to Rs4,000 crore by retaining oversubscriptions up to Rs3,000 crore.
"The company will use the proceeds for loan disbursals and debt repayments," said DHFL chairman Kapil Wadhawan. "The overwhelming investor response is a reflection of the trust on us." Investors could earn interest income in the range of 8.90-9.50% irrespective of any wild swings in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) that captures retail inflation, as the issuer has put both upper and lower caps, mitigating the risk. The bonds will mature in three to 10 years "This is the largest collection on day one by any private sector entity in the debt public issue space," said Ajay Manglunia, executive vice president at Edelweiss Financial Services. "All the class of investors wanted to participate, resulting in the euphoria…"
The company will offer a spread of 418 basis points over one-year average CPI inflation. This will help investors fetch an interest rate as much as 9.20% for the next one year.
But it will change next year with the change in the consumer inflation gauge, subject to the caps. A recent rally in government bonds, which effectively reduced the returns for fresh investors, has also triggered interest in the DHFL debt.
While retail participants are likely to hold investment till maturity, institutional ones are likely to exit via the secondary market seeking capital appreciation.
"Amid falling interest rates, DHFL bonds are the only opportunity for investors to earn more than 9% interest rate from a triple-A-rated entity," said Vikas Jain, executive director at AK Capital.
Edelweiss Financial Services, SBI Capital Markets, ICICI Bank, Trust Investment and AK Capital are some investment bankers to the bond sale, which were supposed to close on August 16.

Siemens aims to make Sacramento a hub for bullet train
International rail giant Siemens wants to turn the capital city into the country's bullet train manufacturing hub. After six years of prep work at its sprawling French Road plant in south Sacramento, the German company soon may get its chance to try.
State high-speed rail officials confirmed last week they plan to call for bids from high-speed rail companies in mid-2016 to build the sleek aluminum trains that will run at 200-plus mph between San Francisco and Los Angeles. The state is expected to need about $3.2 billion worth of train "rolling stock" to serve the new system.
That would be, by far, the biggest construction contract Siemens has won in its 30 years of train building in Sacramento. The local plant, launched to build the first generation of Sacramento Regional Transit light-rail vehicles, has expanded to build light-rail cars for numerous cities, as well as streetcars, diesel locomotives for Amtrak, and recently, a new generation of 125-mph trains for the state of Florida for a planned mini-bullet system.
Siemens has been promoting itself vigorously for the upcoming California gig. It set up a full-size mock-up of a car for the bullet train on the state Capitol lawn earlier this year, essentially on the governor's front doorstep. And it recently bought full-page ads in several major California newspapers touting its expertise.
Notably, but more quietly, Siemens this summer opened a 125,000-square-foot manufacturing facility on its French Road plant site with the hope of using it for manufacturing high-speed trains. The facility is part of $100 million in upgrades Siemens officials say they have made to the Sacramento plant in the last decade.
Siemens also has built an electric overhead system on a short test track at the back of its south Sacramento plant. Officials say they intend to vie not only for the job of supplying the new trains, but also electrifying them.
"It would be fabulous for the region if we could get this additional business," said Armin Kick, the executive in charge of Siemens' Sacramento bullet train development efforts. "It would set up Sacramento as the (national) hub for high-speed technology. And these hubs, like Silicon Valley, don't move around. It would bring additional employment and technology-driven jobs."
Uncertainty remains about financing for California's rail project, even as the state's High-Speed Rail Authority launched construction this year of the first track segment of the bullet train, between Fresno and Madera. State leaders envision a system that eventually will cost $68 billion and span 520 miles, shuttling travelers between San Francisco and Los Angeles in less than three hours. A later phase of the project is planned to extend the rail system to Sacramento and San Diego.
A recent request by the rail authority for private companies to declare their interest in partnering on the project and to offer ideas on how to build the system drew three dozen responses, including from Siemens, but none of the companies offered to bring in private financing, rail officials said.
Michael Cahill, president of Siemens Industry Inc.'s mobility division, said his company didn't propose private financing because the state's request wasn't specifically set up for a financial proposal. But, he said, Siemens could be interested in making a financing pitch at some point.
"We didn't propose anything concrete in terms of private money going in, because there wasn't an opportunity to do that," he said. "Which doesn't mean we wouldn't be interested. Quite the opposite."
He declined to describe what type of private investment his company might be willing to make.
Siemens has the backing of Rep. Doris Matsui, D-Sacramento, who has pitched Siemens to the Brown administration. "They are a German company, yes, but they are planted here," Matsui said. "They are high-quality jobs, advanced manufacturing jobs. Those are the kind of jobs we need."
California High-Speed Rail Authority officials said last week they will pick a train manufacturing company that has "service-proven technologies with an operating history." They have previously said Siemens' local roots might give it some points but won't necessarily push it ahead of competitors.
Siemens Sacramento's parent company has designed or built bullet trains for several countries, including Spain, Russia, China and recently Turkey. But the company likely will compete against a handful of international companies that are big and experienced as well, and most of which have some form of train manufacturing presence in the United States.
Other competitors may include Bombardier of Canada, Alstom of France, Talgo of Spain, Italy-based AnsaldoBreda, Japan's Kawasaki, South Korea's Hyundai Rotem and two major Chinese companies.
Siemens officials estimate that the bullet train contract could bring hundreds of jobs to the company and maintain other positions it would otherwise lose as contracts are fulfilled. It also could help germinate other businesses that would spring up in town to work with Siemens on elements of the project. The Sacramento plant, which was built after Siemens won its first light-rail contract with RT three decades ago, employs 800 workers.
If it wins a bullet train contract, Siemens would expand its new high-speed rail manufacturing facility and add warehouse space, Cahill said. "Everything we do in terms of expansion, we checklist it: 'Will this work for high speed?' " Cahill said on a tour of the facility.
Workers last week in the new facility were building and assembling "higher speed" trains the state of Florida plans to run, beginning in 2017, between Miami and West Palm Beach, then later Orlando. Those trains can run up to 125 mph and are giving Siemens plant workers a taste of what it takes to build bullet trains.
"A lot of the infrastructure we are putting in here (for the Florida contract) is 100 percent reusable for California high speed," Cahill said. "A lot of the skill sets we have would be reusable."
One difference is that the company would use aluminum skin for California's trains rather than stainless steel for the Florida trains. "To get that extra boost to go from 125 mph to 220 mph, you do need lighter rolling stock," Cahill said.
The company recently built a welding education center to teach advanced techniques to new hires and is partnering with community colleges in Northern California on a welding training curriculum. "We have some very particular skills you need here," Cahill said.
High-speed rail officials said last week they would like to begin testing trains on the initial Central Valley rail segment by 2019. They said trains should be running from L.A. to San Francisco before 2030.
In the end, Cahill said, Siemens' Sacramento plant should continue to prosper with other rail projects if it doesn't win the big one. But he said the company's Sacramento focus has been clear. "The investments we have made here are obviously focused on high-speed rail, and we're very keen to make sure they bear fruition."

Amazon launches aStore (Beta, of course)
From their description:
aStore by Amazon is a new Associates product that gives you the power to create a professional online store, in minutes and without the need for programming skills, that can be embedded within or linked to from your website. I threw up a quick test here.
Not bad. It was very easy to setup, and looks pretty good.
If you have an Amazon account you can find it in the associates central.
That's not all the news from Amazon lately though – they also have this new link-type called Omakase:
Omakase combines flexible display options with links that automatically feature products that visitors to the page are most likely to buy based on what the Associate has been successful with in the past, what that user has been interested in, and the content of the site. Omakase – leave it up to us! Here's how my Omakase banner looked like when I tested it:

October 18, 2017 Even though it can be tought to let go of the beautiful summer temps, the fall season in Grand Rapids is perfect for keeping your windows open and letting in the fresh air that might have been too humid a few weeks ago. The fall is a busy time—children head back to school, yard work and house cleaning increases—but there's one thing that you need to remember to include on your to-do list: washing and/or taking off your window screens for the cooler season. Window screens are really important in the summer months for blocking heat, keeping your windows open without letting in debris, and also helping to keep your home energy efficient. However, in the fall months, windows screens play a different role in your home's energy efficiency and may be better removed from your windows. Here's a few reasons you may want to remove your screens: Letting in more natural light—Window screens are another barrier for much desired natural light through the dreary winter months. Eliminating your window screens will allow for that much more light to enter your home. Reducing snow buildup with exterior screens—When a massive winter wind whips up snow and directs it at your windows, not having an exterior window screen helps lessen the amount of snow that can get stuck between your screen and window. Enhancing solar heat gain—Window screens can block not only light from entering your home, but heat, as well. Heat from the sun helps through the winter months to keep your home energy efficient and warm. A study from Midcoast Green Collaborative showed that screens left on windows in the winter blocked about 30–40 percent of heat from the sun that would've entered the home. With this new information, it's a great time to ask yourself, "should I remove my window screens before winter hits?" As technology has improved, removing window screens has become more of a style preference instead of a requirement. With double- or triple-pane windows, homeowners don't need to take extra steps to increase their energy efficiency in Grand Rapids's colder weather. However, you still have the natural light, snow buildup, and improved energy efficiency to think about with your window screens—the choice is up to you. If you have any additional questions about window screens, energy-efficient replacement windows or other questions about seasonal changes that affect your windows, give the professionals at Pella Windows and Doors a call at 616-201-0206, check out our Grand Rapids showroom or schedule an appointment with us online.

In Search of the Perfect BalanceSpiked shoes for golf have wider soles than regular athletic shoes. The shoe base is also larger than those of any regular shoes. Golfers need balance while making their swing and the wider foot base can give them that. Athletes who need to run fast and act swiftly do not need a broader foot base; they need slimmer ones so they can move as fast as they want. Golf is not a game of speed, but it requires great sense of balance.
The Call for StabilityImagine a golfer trying to play a game of golf wearing slippers – it does not only look ridiculous, but it also makes the golfer's stance unstable. The same goes with wearing ordinary shoes that do not provide a good foothold for the golfer. The golf shoes, whether spikeless or with spikes, can give the proper balance and footing to the golfer as he or she makes his or her swing. The shoe for playing golf usually has built-in stabilizers along the bends to keep the foot from shifting to either side, making it easy to stay in place while swinging. The spiked shoes have plastic or metal spikes underneath while the spikeless have stubs or nubs underneath. Both spikes and stubs hold the golf footwear firm to the ground.
Flexible ShoesThe golf battlefield does not always offer favorable ground. Sometimes it can be unforgiving. It could be rolling, hilly, or irregular. The funny thing about it is that the more unpredictable the ground gets, the more challenging and more fun the game goes. There are times when a golfer comes face to face with a situation where he or she needs to swing on a burdensome slope and the shoes must be flexible so that it'd be possible to deliver a mind blowing swing. He or she will not find the situation so annoying while wearing the right golf shoes. Other sports, where the athletes need to run most of the time, call for a pair of shoes that will be able to hold the athlete's ankle and foot in the same spot all throughout the game. In golf, the player needs his or her shoes to be a bit flexible so he or she can deliver a successful swing.
Comfort EverywhereThe game of golf requires the player to stand for a long time and walk miles and miles while the game is in progress. Wearing a random pair of shoes which is not built for such a task will eventually make the player feel ill at ease and awfully more tired than he or she should. It could make him or her lose his or her game in the end, all because of wearing the wrong pair of shoes. Golf shoes are named as such because they are built to deliver the task assigned to them with success. They are the only ones that can give the utmost comfort, the flexibility, stability, and balance that the golf player needs everywhere and anytime while playing the game. Is it really important to wear the golf footwear in every game? What do you think?

MIAMI – A cook alleges his former Dade County employer terminated him when he requested that he be paid overtime wages.
Jose Cortabarria filed a complaint on July 15 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida Miami Division against Seventy7 LLC, doing business as Wonderland and at the Boulevard Inc., alleging violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act.

What else did they do the public does not know about it?
Cameron's lie TRANSPARENCY and his partner in crime Osborne none the better!!!!!
That and a great number of other secretly kept deals proves Tories are anything but transparent in their dealings.
The National Audit office revealed that the Tory Government secretly tripled payments to Concentric even being fully aware it failing.
HM Revenue agreed to it. The increased payment to Concentrix were authorised during ex-PM David Cameron and ex-Chancellor George Osborne.
This shocking report revealed Whitehall tax chiefs paid £32.5million of public money to a failing tax credits firm which wrongly stripped thousands of families of vital benefits. Did they talk about it when Cameron and Osborne giving their great speeches in the USA and Davos for £100,000 each payment?
The National Audit Office refunded almost £7million to families incorrectly had their payment stopped and it was overturned the decision from Concentrix on appeal.
But it was only one-third. It should have been all the families since the Tory Government has the money to pay a failing contractor – it has the money to pay the people.
It has not been the first time or the only one contractor which has received hundreds of thousands of pound from hard-up taxpayers.
There are Serco and G4S which received £700million for shoddy work and Serco was even up for fraud entering false data in NHS. Atos, French firm, told fatal ill people they can work and stopped their benefits. There were so far known 2,500 cases of suicide because of it. Atos walked out leaving behind a 700,000 backlog and to be sure received a Golden Handshake. So far most of David Cameron's friends which received huge contracts had never given the full service but received the full money if not over.
Further unbelievable details emerged. Concentrix call centre received 62,000 during August 2016 alone from frantic families but they only answered five per cent within five minutes which evidently shows a very limited staff. It also means that these desperate people either hang on for a long time or kept re-dial which added further cost to their phone bills during their desperate time.
Although the Government was fully aware of it but as usually did nothing for months.
HMRC finally took the initiative and cancelled the contract late last year and have a guess they surely received a Golden Handshake.
HMRC brought the service back in-house.
HMRC has since paid out nearly £87,000 in compensation to the worst affected families.
This is all very well but it is still taxpayer's money. It should have been David Cameron and George Osborne held responsible and have been made to pay it. They would not even have missed it. They should have been brought into court for mishandling Public money and trust in high office.
When do the MPs and public stand up to these characters? They nothing but ruined the country and the life of the people.
Surely they are not above the Law or are they?
Surely they are not above the Law or are they?
The same case refers to Philip Green. Although MPs had voted on losing his knighthood but so far there seems to be no sign of it. Plus his returning the pension pot of BHS staff.
For heaven's sake it is money for their retirement when they cannot work any more and rely on that money.
These fatcats seem to have the right to make off with pensions pots from miners, steel workers and BHS. The MPs should create a riot to pressure the fatcats to return the money.
Where are the MPs principles?

As online sales continue to grow, and grow as a percentage of total retail sales, retailers must find new ways to bring consumers in-store. In Real View's latest article, they explore how some retail brick-and-mortar locations are adding food and beverage service to provide a better experience for consumers.
Shoppers visiting luxury retailers are nowadays just as likely to browse the menu of new in-house restaurants and cafes as they are to search the shelves for designer shoes or handbags.
Burberry in London and Gucci in Shanghai are among the newer movers in this field. They follow in the steps of Armani which now has restaurants and cafes in 13 cities around the world and department stores such as Harrods and Harvey Nicholls whose menus have drawn in faithful shoppers for decades.
"It's showing how retailers have to be more proactive and engage with customers in a 3D way," says Tim Vallance, JLL Head of UK Retail & Leisure. Since eating and drinking are (not yet) activities that can be carried out online they remain points of differentiation with online stores and ways of bringing customers into shops.
So what approaches are the different luxury retailers taking? Armani is at the more ambitious end of the spectrum, also running hotels in Milan and Dubai's Burj Khalifa. It sees its dining rooms as part of a bigger picture. Founder Giorgio Armani says: "I've always wanted to create a complete Armani lifestyle that reflects my ideas and can be applied to different areas, not just fashion. Restaurants and cafés seemed a logical expansion."
