THE JAGUAR CONVERTIBLE SNAKED its way
through the dimly lit streets before slowing down and then stopping and
reversing into a dark laneway. The driver dressed in dark clothing, slid out
from behind the wheel and walking to the entrance of the alleyway glanced
furtively up the street to the right and left, it was eight pm with most of the
houses in darkness. The only sign of life was the characteristic blue glow
emanating from television receivers, easily distinguishable through the curtains
of suburban homes.
To the West, twenty kilometres away a
storm was brewing as forked lightning licked through low clouds, accompanied by
a low rumbling of thunder. Wind gusts came in spasmodic bursts, hurtling old
newspapers and dust ahead of its fierce onslaught. With a sudden drop in
temperature an eerie atmosphere suddenly enveloped the area as whole and the
wind suddenly, with no apparent reason dropped off. The surrounding area
suddenly became quite still with lightning becoming more prominent and distinct,
which gave the driver of the vehicle an added incentive to hurry.
A street
sign was fixed to a telegraph pole indicating the location of Prescott Street in
the southern suburb of Woodbridge
which loomed out of the darkness. Parking the vehicle beneath a tree situated a
short distance away and stealthy with extreme caution, the driver walked in from
the intersection. It was only a matter of a minute before number sixteen
appeared attached to a post box next to a front gate, which swung half opened.
Pushing the gate open, it swung noiselessly as the intruder crept through the
gardens up to the front window.
Peering through laced curtains a woman
could clearly be seen lying on a lounge in front of the television screen, awake
and watching a current movie. The intruder looked around cautiously once more
but could see nothing untoward and felt safe. Distant flashes of lightning
caused the only illumination on the front porch.
Surprisingly, the front door was not
locked and it slowly edged open, allowing the intruder to silently creep into
the foyer of a hallway. A furtive peek around the lounge room door showed the
woman languishing in apparent comfort, still blissfully unaware she had
unwelcome company with her within the house. The intruder could easily
distinguish that the television receiver was turned down low and the woman
watching it was eating chocolates.
The glow of the television
receiver revealed the woman in semi-darkness sending a blaze of rage and hate
surging through the body of the intruder. A disused fireplace held an ornamental
receptacle containing a number of brass pokers. The intruder slipped into the
lounge room on hands and knees towards the receptacle with eyes darting
furtively around here and there but still the woman on the lounge had not
detected the intruder's presence.
It was the noise the intruder suddenly
made while rushing to the poker stand and withdrawing one of the pokers that
enabled her to realise that she was not alone. With an alarmed look her eyes
opened wide and she saw the poker sweeping downwards at her head. She tried to
call out with her heart racing heavily and instinctively, she threw up one of
her arms in self-defence to ward off the blow. The poker struck heavily,
breaking her arm and completely nullified any further feeble attempts of
defence. Desperately, she clutched at the intruder with her good arm and while
struggling; the woman dragged a bracelet from the wrist of her attacker. It fell
to the floor and rolled beneath the lounge.
The woman was no match for her
assailant, who easily pulled her arm away and brought the poker down on her
head, again and again. The ferocity and force of the attack knocked the woman
unconscious and with a sigh, she slid to the floor, but still the intruder did
not stop. Stirred by a frenzy of uncontrollable bitterness and hate, the poker
struck the inert head of the woman time and time again. Blood splattered up the
walls with the force of the ferocious onslaught and finally the assailant
stopped, breathing heavily from exhaustion.
Recovering, the attacker quickly began
to search the house, pulling open drawers and tipping their contents onto the
floor. Finding nothing in the bedrooms, the intruder recommenced the routine in
the kitchen, toppling the contents of condiment tins out onto the kitchen bench.
One of the containers yielded a bundle of money held together with a rubber
band. Quickly thrusting the money into a pocket, the intruder wiped the
containers over with a tea towel before fleeing into the night.
Outside, heavy spots of rain were
beginning to fall and sharp whip-like cracks of thunder heralded the oncoming
gale about to descend. There was no traffic on the roads as the driver pushed at
a button raising the hood of the convertible. The oncoming fusillade of rain
began to fall and the windscreen wipers clacked back and forth as the car glided
ghost-like though the deluge.
Although, the driver was beginning to
feel a little easier, the horror of what had transpired back at the house had
not yet began to register. Heroin, used to foster courage prior to the invasion
of the house was beginning to lose its effect and the only thought in mind was
to get as far away as possible without being seen in the area.
It was thirty kilometres to the other
side of the city where a party was in progress with the car being loaned to the
driver for the purpose of obtaining drugs. Now there would be no problem on that
score and not only did the money mean that the driver could now return with the
drugs as promised, but that rotten bitch back in the house had now met her
Meanwhile, Basil Netrose was taking his
time while driving to his home in Prescott Street
because of heavy rain falling in torrents and as he crawled along the rain
seemed to intensify which caused him a few problems with his demister in the car
being faulty and not operating, as he would have desired. It had been faulty for
some weeks and despite his intention to get it repaired he had not got around to
it and now he was paying the supreme price for his neglect, with the windscreen
continually fogging.
It was a fierce storm with rain pelting
into his car's windscreen in spasms of ferocious onslaughts causing him to drive
at a slow speed while continually wiping at the condensation on his windscreen
with a rag. Fortunately there were no large hailstones prominent within the
onslaught of the heavy rain. Flashes of lightning briefly illuminated the road
and surrounding area. But for the storm, Basil would have been home at least an
hour earlier but he had been held up at his office by a number of piddling
matters requiring urgent attention and finally he came to the street and his
He drove slowly into number sixteen and
pulled into the driveway running alongside his house. The garage was open and
after parking his car he took his brief case from the front seat and prepared
for his run up the side of the house to the front door. He did not have an
umbrella with him and hated getting wet at anytime.
Running up the front steps onto the
patio, he noticed that the front door was ajar. 'That's unusual,' he surmised.
'Whatever could Margaret have been thinking to leave the front door unlocked?
Margaret,' he called out, 'I'm home.'
He could see the glow of the television
from the lounge room but there was no answer. Suspecting nothing, he went into
the lounge room and almost fainted at the horrific sight that greeted him. The
sweet repugnant smell of blood nauseated him and he could feel bile surging up
into his throat when he saw the smashed and battered head of his wife. He could
not stop the vomit hurtling from his mouth and perspiring furiously, his heart
raced and pain wrenched at his stomach.

Romeo and Juliet Free Public Reading
Next reading will be Richard II Monday 25 November at 7pm
On the last Monday of every month, February through November for the next four years, every single one of the 40 plays attributed to William Shakespeare will be read in full at the Alex Theatres STK, in chronological order through his entire career, from The Two Gentlemen of Verona to The Two Noble Kinsmen. Ever-reliable warhorses such as Romeo & Juliet and A Midsummer Night's Dream will sit alongside rarely seen works like King John and Henry VIII, with his several collaborations with other writers, including Edward III and Sir Thomas More, will also be read.
The project has been conceived and will be coordinated, by actor and director David Meadows, a veteran of dozens of independent Shakespeare productions around Australia and internationally. David is a WAAPA graduate with several Hamlets, Iagos, and Petruccio's to his name, as well as a Shylock, a Macbeth, and a Mercutio, and directing credits as far afield as Mexico. He is a former Fellow at Shakespeare's Globe in London and is to date the only actor in the world to have mounted an online recital of the complete sonnets, which remains a free resource on YouTube.
"Like my sonnet project on YouTube, I want to provide everyone who is passionate about Shakespeare's contribution to theatre, and literature, and humanity, frankly, with the opportunity to have experienced at least one performance of every single one of the 40 plays that bear his name, and since fully staged productions are often not financially feasible in this day and age, giving full readings of them all seems to me to be an elegant way to split the difference." David Meadows, 2018
"I will tell you the beginning, and if it please your ladyships, you may see the end, for the best is yet to do" As You Like It, 2/5
The 2019 readings will boast some of Shakespeare's earliest blockbusters successes.
- NOVEMBER 25 – Romeo and Juliet (using cue scripts)
- The first reading of 2020 will be A Midsummer Night's Dream (using cue scripts)
Come and enjoy a free evening listening to the works of Shakespeare.

Infinite counting numbers
In this discussion we explored the possibility of counting to and beyond infinity. Although it sounds like the realm of pseudoscience, our discussion actually touched on a fundamental part of set theory and mathematical analysis.
We began by wondering what would happen if a pez dispenser could keep dispensing pez forever. We took this as our representation of infinity because there are infinitely many pez. This quickly lead to the suggestion of a pez vending machine, which could keep dispensing pez dispensers forever. That is, the pez vending machine represented a compound infinity.
More details
Once motivated, here is how we began learning. Let's denote a single unit by a * symbol. Thus the number five can be represented *****. The let's denote ****...., that is, *'s forever, by the symbol ^. We then discovered:
Absorption law *^ = ^
To practice using the law, simplify the following:
What observations do you make?
Next we went to compound infinities, so let % denote ^'s forever.
Second absorption law: ^% = %
Once again, practice by simplifying the following.
What observations do you make? We noticed that the two absorption laws together imply a third one:
Simplification theorem: *% = %
After this, it is clear what you want to do next. Keep making up new symbols, writing new absorption laws, and finding new absorption theorems. Then write simplification exercises and solve them! There is a pattern that lets you quickly solve every one.
Write all your infinity symbols, in increasing order, from left to right. Make up a new symbol to stand for that! What absorption laws are true for it?
Write the biggest infinite counting number that you can. Be creative with your symbol definitions!
Is addition of infinite counting numbers commutative? (In other words, is xy always equal to yx?)
Which infinite counting numbers can be written as a sum of two other counting numbers?
Can you define multiplication for infinite counting numbers? What laws would this satisfy? What about the distributivity law?
We have considered only infinities that go to the right. What if you made symbols for strings that are infinite both on the left and on the right?
The concept that we are calling an "infinite counting number" is actually called ordinal. The ordinals get very, very large, far surpassing the limits of the imagination of even the most clever mathematicians. The ordinals we have described above are all very small---so small they are called countable. It is also known that uncountable ordinals exist, though objects so large cannot be easily visualized. The study of the higher infinite is one of the most attractive and mysterious subjects of modern mathematics research!

E-Mail Marketing Tips Straight From The Pros
How long has it been since you check your email? Most people check their email at least twice a day. Email marketing is a great way to reach out to your audience. Here are some tips on how to get started in email marketing.
Make your emails as personal as you can. As with other types of marketing, customers usually do more business with those they feel a connection with. For example, if you are aware of the reasons that they had for signing up for your emails, put that in your message to them.
If you don't, you will be accused of sending spam, and it may cause you to lose some customers.
Make sure that you have permission from any subscriber before you send them an email. It could become bad enough that people decide not desiring to do business with you at all and completely detach themselves from your company.
Keep in mind that the ultimate goal with email list is to sell your product sold. Every email that is sent should entice the readers want to buy something from you.
If this isn't done, you'll have a risk of losing your customers' trust and their interaction with you, which ends up giving your company a bad name. You may even be blacklisted, which can create major problems for your campaign and your business.
Having a easy-to-see link to unsubscribe is a bright idea. Don't fail to include one or bury it so deep in the text that it cannot be found. You should strive for your readers to feel that they are in power and that you're not controlling them.
It is critical to get someone's permission before adding them to your list for email marketing. If they have not, they may send an abuse report to your ISP, delete it or leave your list. Your email provider might even drop you due to a mass amount of complaints from those who never wanted to receive your messages in the first place.
Take advantage of preheaders and make the various email previews work to your favor. Gmail and other email clients display this line of text immediately following the subject, so it will grab the reader's attention.
Be sure there's an option for people who don't want to subscribe any longer. Email messages do cost money, though not very much. Not only that, but you could even be blocked by your provider.
Add some personalized touch to your marketing emails.You can do much more than merely using the recipient's name into a standardized message. Use all of information that you know about your subscribers.
Keep in mind that the purpose of any email marketing campaign is to build your business's reputation and sell more business. Do not cut corners, send out emails to the wrong consumers, or try any other deceiving tactics. Your business reputation is on the line, so be sure to take this into account.
Email marketing can be a popular and clever method of contacting your customers and clients. Use this information when you are developing an email marketing campaign and you will see your profits increase. Advertising your business can be easy when you make use of the strength of email communications to reach out.

Bringing Classic Tales Alive in Helena
By Emmie Bristow
For many in Helena, the Montana Shakespeare Company summer productions are an annual must-see. The company was founded by artistic director Kim Delong in 1997, and is comprised of actors from across the nation. It has changed locations many times since its beginning, but recently has settled in the cozy Great Northern Amphitheater. The company runs as a non-profit arts organization, and their goal in mind, as shown in their mission statement, is "enriching and empowering individuals and community through extraordinary theatre!"
Being an English major at the University of Montana, I've always had a certain interest in Shakespeare. So, when I found I had the opportunity to interview one of the actors in MT Shakespeare Co., I knew I had to jump on it.
Brian Fox, a current student at Macalester College and native to Helena, has been acting with MT Shakespeare Co. for three years now and will be playing the Duke of Albany in his fifth show in the MT Shakespeare Co. production of King Lear. The first production will be on July 28th, and he is ready and excited.
"I might be more excited for this performance than any I've done before. King Lear was the first show I ever saw MT Shakespeare Co. do back in 2005."
Fox has been acting for some time now, having started in Grandstreet as a child, and remembers going to a summer camp, Bard Days, and learning about Shakespeare and stage combat. It was there he decided he wanted to be part of MT Shakespeare Co., and when Delong asked him to be in the performance of Romeo and Juliet four years ago, he gladly accepted the offer.
"I was mainly excited for the sword fighting," Fox jokes, even though according to him, stage combat rehearsals tend to be most grueling. However, he always enjoys the company of other actors and watching kids after exiting the Great Northern Carousel stop and stare at their practicing.
"It really brings into perspective how cool of an opportunity it is to be able to take part in this production.
And not only is this a good opportunity for the actors, but an essential one for audience members as well.
"Many people have a somewhat negative experience with Shakespeare in high school," Brian states, "but what people don't realize is to see it live just gives the play a whole other dimension and makes it so much easier to understand."
And according to Brian, everyone should try to understand them.
"They're simply amazing stories dealing with timeless themes of jealousy, love, hate, family, and so on."
So if you'd like to catch a showing of King Lear to see Brian and the rest of MT Shakespeare Co., the show begins at 7:30 pm at the Great Northern Amphitheater on a Thursday, July 28th, and from then on begins on Wednesdays and lasts through Sundays until August 14th. If you'd like to catch a show by the company sooner than that, The Rivals is playing at the same time, same days of the week up until July 24th. Tickets are available online at montanashakespeare.org, or at the door. It is $20 for adults and $15 for students. High school and college students: don't forget your student IDs!
Also, for the first time ever this summer, the MT Shakespeare Co. is hosting a Shakespearean Scavenger Hunt and FUNdraiser. As it is perfectly stated on their website, "If thou dost like Shakespeare, Helena, solving riddles and having fun with friends and family on a summer's day, Play On with us!" This hunt will take you through downtown Helena to see "Where'st William" affects our lives today. Anyone can play, and you can have a team of up to four members. Tickets for participation are $15 for adults and $10 for students, and may be purchased online at montanashakespeare.org or on the morning of the hunt. There are three hunts total, however two (on June 18th and July 16th) have already passed. So don't miss the last one! It will be on Saturday, August 13th. Meet at the Carousel at 9:30 am to begin.
Whether you're going to just one play, or all the plays and the scavenger hunt, make sure to support your local Shakespeareans (and maybe purchase an ice-cream cone at the Carousel while you're at it). They would love to see you, and you will not regret it.

Op-Ed by John MacArthur
Taos News (February 12, 2016)
Ever since moving to Taos 45 years ago, I have been drawn to the high places. For many years my wife Pam and I have ridden our horses on the trails of the Carson and Santa Fe National Forests, and particularly in the Pecos Wilderness. We are always affected by the quietness, solitude, stunning grandeur, and wildness of our public lands. If we have any spiritual connections, they are here in the high mountain forests and ridgelines.
Pam and I spend a lot of time just knocking about on our horses, exploring new places and vistas. Other people like hiking, hunting and fishing. We all gather firewood, pinon, herbs, vigas, etc. One of my particular attractions is for the old trails, many of which are pre-historic trails or just game trails from time out of mind. I am fascinated by how first animals, and then man have found the most efficient ways through the rugged and forbidding topography. We, and the horses, also really enjoy and appreciate all the little streams that run out of the high cirque valleys and almost every canyon, all contributing to the watersheds that become the Canadian, Pecos, and Rio Grande rivers. These streams are the foundations of all life in the mountains, as well as the communities in the valleys below. There is something incredibly special here for all of us.
I have always taken the National Forests and Wilderness's existence more or less for granted, and appreciate very much the executive and legislative efforts it took to create them over the last 100 years. As such, I have been appalled and angered by the recent attempts to take control of them from the federal government, and hand our public lands over to individual state land offices. That is why I have joined my neighbors to support the efforts to safeguard these areas as Wilderness and Special Management Areas (Nov. 17, 2015 The Taos News article re: the Pecos Wilderness).
The Pecos Wilderness clearly needs to be expanded to include more of the high fragile valleys and stream headwaters that are not currently within its boundaries, as well as to have a protective Special Management Area surrounding it, that would include other traditional and recreational uses.
It is time to come together and agree how best to preserve what we have.

text: Mainecoons 3,577 Report post Posted December 4, 2015 I know what a "rave" is. Do you?I try very hard to choose my words carefully. Therefore, good bye.Yes I do. That's why I put up the definition for you and others who don't appear to understand the term encompasses a range of events with some common characteristics. Did you not get the parts about how long they run and the emphasis on monster sound systems the like which have now appeared in the middle of Ajijic courtesy of the Lenzo Charro?Cats, I do remember the big Rave that trashed the Seis Esquinas soccer field and drove the west side of town nuts for two days. That seemed to open the flood gates for similar events all over town. In fact the very next similar event was at the Lenzo Charro and went on for a full day.All of this is part of a more general problem of venues in Ajijic ignoring their surroundings and neighbors and making late night rackets more and more. For example, the continuing problems with blaring disco at Plaza Bugambillias and also with several "restaurants" in residential neighborhoods that confuse loud with good.These noise for profit promoters will go where they see the community won't stand up for itself. They can appear next door to YOUR home literally overnight. We have the choice as a community to either stand by and let this problem continue to grow until people start leaving, or we have the choice to come together and demand that it is put under control.You make the call for yourself. I've made mine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Designing a compact car to take on the challenges of the urban jungle of future Europe seems to have become the Holy Grail of motoring at the moment for many-an-automaker around the world, chief of which is our very own Tata Motors. As the largest auto maker in South Asia (that is, if you factor in the sheer volumes of commercial vehicles the company makes as well), making a foray into the west is inevitable, and Tata Motors isn't one to sit content with just purchasing an iconic European brand . Even an accolade such as creating the world's most affordable mass-produced car in the world, the Nano, isn't enough, though it does form the basis for the company's plans to invade Europe. The first sign of this was of course the Nano Europa concept unveiled at Geneva in 2010 which took the basic idea behind the Nano, which is affordable and economical motoring for the masses, and up-specced it to meet the sensibilities of the European car buyer.
The second sign, and one more crystal clear in its intentions, was the concept car that Tata Motors showed off at the Geneva Motor Show last year, the Pixel. Based on the Nano Europa, the Pixel took technology and styling to a whole new level, with the inclusion of an innovative Zero Turn toroidal traction-drive Infinitely Variable Transmission built by Torotrak, which in conjunction with the steering system, allowed the Pixel to literally turn on a dime. And who can forget those massive scissored doors, which when opened, stood up like a bunny's ears. This year's edition of the Geneva Motor Show has yet another new gem from the Tata stables, which takes the game even further.
Dubbed the Megapixel, this latest concept car made by Tata Motors adheres to its name by appearing to be a slightly larger, grown up version of the Pixel. But almost immediately, you can notice that the radical, completely conceptual styling has been dropped in favour of a more mature design that looks like it could make its way to production in the near future. The design of the car is truly global, in every sense of the term, combining the efforts of designers from India, Italy and the UK, to create a shape that will look at home on any of the megacities around the world. Not that there is any lack of "concept-ness" in the Megapixel's design though. A panoramic glass roof that melds seamlessly into the windscreen, floating C-pillars and super sleek rear view mirrors are just the start of the equation. And even though the twin scissored doors have been dropped in favour of four, seemingly conventional ones, these hinge and slide outwards to create a massive B-pillar-less opening into the cabin for easy ingress and egress.
On the inside, things are just as interesting, with four seats cantilevered on the centre tunnel, which not only accommodate four adults comfortably, they also clear up ample room on the floor for storing luggage. In an era, every "smart" is the magic mantra for nearly every device we interact with, the Megapixel too features a large touchscreen panel in the centre of the dash which can integrate functions from a smart phone that is docked to it. And in true "smart" fashion, this touchscreen human-machine-interface (HMI) can control not just in-cabin functions such as temperature, ventilation and entertainment, but can also be used to configure the Megapixel's performance and driving modes.
And in the same manner in which modern digital cameras jump from megapixels to more megapixels, Tata's Megapixel makes some great technological leaps over its predecessor. Ditching the 1.2-litre 3-cylinder diesel engine from the Pixel, this new car goes for four independent 10kW electric motors in each wheel, which can produce an astounding 500Nm of torque each! These draw their juice from a cutting edge 13KwH Lithium Ion Phosphate battery which can sustain the Megapixel by itself for a range of 87km. And if you thought this gives the car rather short legs, then the onboard 325cc single cylinder petrol motor can charge the batteries on the fly and extend its legs up to almost 900km! Borrowing some notes from the Zero Turn drive of the Pixel, the Megapixel too can pull off the same trick by having the electric motors turn the wheels in opposite directions when they're turned at acute angles, giving it the ability to carve a turning circle the same radius as its wheelbase, i.e. 2.8 metres. And this independent nature of the electric motors means that the torque sent to each wheel can be easily electronically controlled, making the Megapixel a proper all-wheel drive car, giving it traction to handle almost any sort of road surface that can be thrown at it. But of course, rivalling the Imprezas of the world isn't really the sort of thing the Megapixel is built for. The low rolling resistance tyres together with the series hybrid electric drive system let the car stretch that litre of petrol to almost 100km, or so Tata Motors claims, yet at the same time, coughing out a miniscule amount of CO2 – just 22gm per kilometre.
With every iteration of its concept cars, Tata Motors is making bold statements about the direction the company will be taking in the immediate future. The Megapixel is not just indicative of the Indian auto giant's global plans, it also represents the design language that will be part of its cars not too far ahead from now. All things considered, there's a good chance that we'll actually see a ready-for-production version of a truly European car from Tata Motors by the next Geneva show. We can hardly wait!
At Geneva Motor Show, Tata Motors reveals the new Hybrid Concept Car Tata MegaPixel. In that show every body was shocked to see that small amazing car. Everybody know that some time ago Tata Motors came with a car Tata Pixel which was also a concept. Tata Pixel was also a amazing car as per the its features and looks. But this time Tata Motors show its strength and gave a thunder shock to all the other motor company.
Tata MegaPixel is a hybrid concept car with hatchback which will hit the roads in 2015. At Geneva Motor Show , Tata Motors also revealed the specifications and features of Tata MegaPixel. Tata MegaPixel is having the 100 kmpl mileage. In spite of that this concept car Tata MegaPixel is equipped with amazing thing which is that its doors having double sliding system. By this there will be more convenient for the passengers. Tata MegaPixel is also good for the parking purpose and another .
How does it work
Tata Megapixel derives much of its design elements from Tata Pixel, but Megapixel goes one better. Megapixel is powered by a Lithium Ion Phosphate Battery which can be recharged by an onboard 325 cc single-cylinder gasoline generator. The battery will power the four electric motors of the four wheels.
Megapixel has a 13 KwH battery which runs for 87 kms on the charge. Of course it can fall back on the gasoline generator to charge itself back up.
Tata Megapixel is carbon conscious and will emit 22 grams of CO2 per kilometer.
Zero Turn
The most impressive feature of Tata Megapixel is its Zero Turn and four wheel steering. The car turns 180 degrees on its axis without touching any other object. Tata Megapixel has an amazing 2.8 meter turning radius. It's as if you are drawing a semi-circle using a compass and a protractor. A must-have feature for city-dwellers who often fight for the last inch of space.
In countries like India, this would be extremely handy. Now you don't have to worry about the dinging the expensive car parked in front of yours.
Still a concept
Tata Megapixel has a lot of wows to its credit. Like the inductive charging, front and rear sliding doors, charge level indicator, floating radius and my favorite, Zero Turn. But what we need to realize is this is still a concept. Tata says that it can deliver the Megapixel in 3 years.
It would still be a great car even if they take five years. Tata as we all know has delivered world's cheapest car, which is still the world's cheapest car without much of a competition. Tata had a Tata eMO a concept electric car earlier.

How to Add a Widget to Your Nexus 7 Tablet
Just as you can add apps to the Home screen on your Nexus 7 tablet, you can also add widgets. A widget works like a tiny interactive or informative window, often providing a gateway into another app on the Nexus 7.
The Nexus 7 comes with a smattering of widgets affixed to the Home screen, possibly just to show you how they can be used. To add more widgets on the Home screen, follow these steps:
Touch the All Apps icon on the Home screen.
Touch the Widgets category atop the screen.
Or just scroll the list of apps to the left until you see widgets displayed.
The widgets appear on the All Apps screen in little preview windows.
Scroll the list to find the widget you want to add.
Some widgets, such as the contact widgets, are icon size. Some are quite large. That's okay — you can resize widgets.
Long-press the widget, and drag it to a Home screen panel.
The widget is plopped on the Home screen.
The variety of available widgets depends on the apps you've installed. Some apps come with widgets, some don't. Some widgets come independently of any app.
The Home screen panel must have room or else the tablet doesn't let you plop down the widget. Choose another panel, or remove icons or widgets to make room.
More widgets are available at the Google Play Store.

Crosses (band)
Crosses (usually stylized as †††) is the musical side project of Deftones singer Chino Moreno, Far guitarist Shaun Lopez, and bassist Chuck Doom, based in Los Angeles, California,[1] and formed in 2011.
|Also known as
|Los Angeles, California, United States
|Electronic rock, darkwave, dream pop, witch house
|Years active
|Chino Moreno
Shaun Lopez
Chuck Doom
Dino Campanella (live only)
Jono Evans (live only)
Having recorded together previously,[2] Deftones singer Chino Moreno began recording with childhood friend and neighbor Shaun Lopez, also of the band Far, as well as Chuck Doom.[2] Moreno described the project as "minimal and soothing and it's sort of like the stuff I like listening to when I'm not screaming my head off."[2] With a tentative title of Crosses as the name of the project, they began recording for over four hours a day, completing nearly 16 songs with plans to self-release a series of EPs.[2]
Recorded at Airport Studios in Los Angeles, California,[3] their debut EP was released for free on August 2, 2011,[1][4][5] with a higher quality version made available for purchase on their website.[5] Duff McKagan, of Velvet Revolver and Loaded, contributed additional bass to the song "This Is a Trick" while Chris Robyn of Far performed live drums on the EP. Dino Campanella of the rock band Dredg has also worked as a live drummer for the band.[6]
Crosses contributed a previously unreleased song titled "The Years" to the Batman: Arkham City – The Album, the soundtrack to the game of the same name. It was also featured in the game's Joker trailer.[7]
A second EP from Crosses was released on January 24, 2012.
In 2012, Crosses played the Lollapalooza Chile festival[8] as well as the Quilmes Rock festival.[9]
Crosses released a vinyl single, including the tracks "Option" and "Telepathy" from their first two EPs, for Record Store Day 2012.[10] The band also released an official remix of the Rob Zombie song, "Dragula", appearing on Zombie's 2012 album Mondo Sex Head.
At the end of 2012, "Telepathy" appeared on the soundtrack for video game Need for Speed: Most Wanted.
A postulated third Crosses EP was not released, and Moreno put Crosses temporarily on hold while he concluded work with Deftones (the album Koi No Yokan, issued in November 2012) and another side project, Palms, with ex-members of Isis (releasing their debut album, Palms, in June 2013).[11]
In September 2013, Crosses signed with Sumerian Records.[12]
In October 2013, Crosses announced that a full-length album was set to be released on November 26, 2013 through Sumerian, and also posted the new track "The Epilogue" online for streaming.[13] The release date for the band's eponymous debut was later pushed back to February 11, 2014, and the new track "Bitches Brew" was posted online for streaming along with the announcement.[14] On November 26, the date Crosses were originally scheduled to release their debut album, the band instead released a music video for "Bitches Brew" directed by Raul Gonzo.[15] The album contains remastered versions of all songs from the previous two EPs as well as five new tracks (essentially, what would have been EP 3). The track order intermingles new tracks and songs from both EPs.
On April 19, 2014, for Record Store Day, Crosses reissued the first two EPS as well as EP 3, all on colored 10-inch vinyl.[16]
In 2014, Crosses appeared as part of the Australian music festival Soundwave, followed by a US spring tour.
The musical style of Crosses is often referred to as electronic,[17][18] darkwave or dark pop,[19][20] dream pop[21] or witch house.[22][23][24] However, Carson O'Shoney of Consequence of Sound and Daniel Brockman of The Boston Phoenix note that Crosses only shares a resemblance to witch house in aesthetics and imagery, and not the group's actual music.[25][26] O'Shoney said that Crosses' witch house influence is "noticeable just by looking at the tracklist—every song has at least one † in it. The name of the band is †††. The name of the EP is †. Everything about the EP points to witch house—until you listen to the actual music."[25] The group's decision to use this imagery stems from Chino Moreno's interest in the art and mystique around religion. Moreno however also said, "I didn't want people to think we are a religious band, a satanic band or that we are a witch-house band. It's difficult using a religious symbol, but at the same time, I think in an artistic way, it can totally go somewhere else and I think we are kind of walking that line."[24]

Are vegetables healthy? Well, we all know the answer to that. But are vegetable healthier raw or cooked? Now this is when people tend to give differing opinions.
If you are wondering if cooking vegetables can make them less healthy, then this article is for you. Below it will let you know if it's really a good idea for you to skip cooking your vegetables. Don't forget to share this article afterwards to let your family and friends, especially those vegetable-eating ones, get to know the real deal, too!
So will cooking your veggies keep you from getting all of the nutrients they contain? The answer is yes and no.
Yes, it's true that exposing vegetables to high temperatures can alter their chemical composition, and that includes their nutrient content. Cooking can definitely destroy some of the vitamins and minerals present in vegetables.
According to scientists, the longer you cook your vegetables, the more nutrients go to waste. Some of them are completely destroyed, while the rest leech into the water you are cooking your vegetables in. Indeed, it may seem like cooking vegetables is a no-no especially for health-conscious individuals.
For instance, cooking is known to cause water-soluble vitamins such as vitamin C and those B vitamins to escape their food sources and end up in the water they are being cooked in. With such being the case, you will have to also ingest the water in which you cooked your veggies to obtain those water-soluble vitamins, but that's not possible all the time.
However, did you know that cooking vegetables also makes other nutrients more accessible?
For instance, some vegetables (carrots, broccoli, spinach, etc.) are composed of cells with very thick walls, and locked up within those cells are certain nutrients that your body needs. If uncooked, your digestive system may not be able to disintegrate those very tough cell walls, keeping you from obtaining the nutrients they have within.
But when you cook vegetables made of cells with tough exteriors, their nutrient content becomes accessible.
Are you aware that certain types of antioxidants are activated only when exposed to heat? One very good example is lycopene, that red-colored antioxidant found primarily in tomatoes.
There is no denying that one of the most revered antioxidants on the face of the planet is lycopene because of its superb ability to reduce oxidative stress, inflammation and most especially cancer. If you want to harness the power of such antioxidant, then you should definitely expose your tomatoes to high temperatures.
So what should you do if cooking destroys certain nutrients and at the same time makes others more accessible?
One of the things that you may do is to keep cooking times as short as possible. Also, you might want to consider cooking without using water to help ensure that those water-soluble vitamins stay in their sources.
However, some doctors say that you should not really stress about cooking or not cooking your vegetables — they say for you to simply consume them. What's important is you strive to consume 5 to 13 servings of vegetables each day, depending on your recommended daily caloric intake. Do that and you're golden.

A section of my summer course on art therapy, social action, and trauma informed care included introducing art therapy & counseling graduate students at Ursuline College to the role of craftivism and its possibilities to empower vulnerable populations, as well as promote important social causes and issues through do it yourself crafty goodness:
As Betsy Greer defines:
craft + activism = craftivism
"By advocating the use of creativity for the improvement of the world, craftivists worldwide taught knitting lessons, sewed scarves for battered women's shelters, and knitted hats for chemotherapy patients…. In promoting the idea that people can use their own creativity to improve the world, craftivism allows those who wish to voice their opinions and support their causes the chance to do just that…"
~Betsy Greer, "Craftivism." Encyclopedia of Activism and Social Justice (2007).
Craftivism can take on many handmade forms, including radical needlepointing, crosstiching, knitting, fiber arts, and lots more. Here's a great article: Yarn Bombing, Knit Graffiti and Underground Brigades: A Study of Craftivism and Mobility if you are interested in learning more about guerilla textiles in action. Another great piece is: Craftivism: Art with Attitude which provides a nice overview about the power in creativity to be heard and help create a better world.
As published here before, my craftivist love is sock monkey making…. (!) introduced to me a couple of years ago by my sock monkey hero and art therapist Kat Thorsen and the amazing work of Operation Sock Monkey (OSM).
Students in my class became operatives and craftivists for an upcoming OSM mission by learning how to make a sock monkey delegate as one of their assignments.
Originally, our delegation group was scheduled to travel to orphanges and children's hospitals in Moscow and St. Petersburg Russia for an OSM & Clowns Sans Frontières mission. Word from OSM Headquarters is now there's a greater need for more sock monkey smiles in Cape Town, South Africa as part of the Sinovuyo Caring Families Project with Clowns Without Borders South Africa.
From the OSM website: "Sinovuyo is focused on the highest-‐risk families with children ages 3 to 8 years: caregivers affected by HIV/AIDS or domestic violence. The programme aims to help parents and caregivers develop nurturing relationships with their children, prevent and reduce abusive parenting, while coping with stress from HIV/AIDS, poverty, and violence."
Sock monkeys are used in storytelling and activities that promote parent/child communication and bonding. Learn more here.
This group of sock monkeys look forward to meeting & helping families served by the Sinovuyo Project. Job well done by all the students with their first Operative Mission! Mission accomplished! I hope it inspires lots more sock monkey making & craftivism in their future…. 🙂

Aqueduct stenosis
Aqueductal stenosis (AS) is a the most common cause of congenital obstructive hydrocephalus, but can also be seen in adults as an acquired abnormality.
On this page:
Congenital aqueductal stenosis has an estimated incidence is at ~1:5000 births although the reported range varies greatly (3.7:1,000,000 to 1:2000) 5. Rarely it may be inherited in an X-linked recessive manner (Bickers-Adams-Edwards syndrome) 5.
In adults, as an acquired abnormality, AS has different etiologies and thus different demographics related to them.
Clinical presentation
The clinical presentation depends on the severity and age of presentation as well as whether or not it is X-linked. In the infant enlarging head size, bulging fontanelles and gaping cranial sutures are seen. Setting sun phenomenon may also be present. In X-linked form (Bickers-Adams-Edwards syndrome) which is associated with profound intellectual disability, clinical assessment would reveal bilateral adducted thumbs.
The usual symptoms and signs of raised intracranial pressure and chronic hydrocephalus may also be present, including headache, vomiting, decreased conscious state 3.
- congenital
- aqueductal webs or diaphragms
- gliosis
- acquired
- extrinsic compression
- intrinsic
- infection: meningitis/ventriculitis
- subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH)
Radiographic features
An antenatal exam can show features of fetal hydrocephalus with a near-normal posterior fossa. There can be secondary thinning of the cortical mantle as well as secondary macrocephaly.
Better delineates the extent of obstructive hydrocephalus, with an enlargement (often marked) of the lateral and third ventricles. The aqueduct may show funnelling superiorly. The 4th ventricle is not dilated. In cases of secondary obstruction, the underlying abnormality may also be evident (e.g. tumor).
An MRI CSF flow study is helpful, and the absence of a flow-void signal intensity on sagittal T2 images at the aqueductal level has been suggested as a sign of aqueductal stenosis 3.
Treatment and prognosis
Treatment is often either with a third ventriculostomy or VP shunting. There is a small recurrence risk (~4%) for congenital cases even when it is not X linked.

Vision About a Better Workplace...
You've heard the saying that happy employees are productive employees. But that's not true because making people happy doesn't make them want to work. Bizarrely, it's actually the other way around: productive employees are happy employees. If you're skeptical, just think of the satisfaction from achieving something. But this only works when your employees are internally motivated.
As a manager you are one of the most important people in your employee's lives. Instead of coercion - you can use motivators that are more powerful than money to inspire your employees to make a contribution and be productive.
This Module is Part of Boss Camp
Do you find managing staff time consuming or stressful? Do you wish your employees took more care and were more productive?
Boss Camp will show you how to improve employee performance by showing you what they never taught you in school. The program includes topics such as:
- How to motivate employees
- What are bad employee motivators
- What you must do as a manager but isn't on your job description
- How leaders get power
- Ethical management techniques that don't take time
Improving employee performance is the best way to improve profits and reduce manager stress
Get The Full Video Transcript Here...
Do you manage employees?
For a moment picture something totally different. A gazelle glides across your tv screen when a lion rips it's throat out. You're sad at this beautiful beast's painful end. But perception, depends on point of view. For the lion it's not tragedy, it's lunch. And if the story had started with 3 cute cubs who haven't eaten for a week, then I bet that you would've been cheering for the lion instead.
What's the point of this story to you the manager. No, I'm not comparing your employees to those cute little lion cubs. I've only got a few moments to inspire you to make a difference to someones life. To do that I will give you a totally new perspective on what you, the manager has the potential to be. Are you the Gazelle or the Lion? Listen on to find out.
When I started my career as a chartered accountant, no one ever taught me how to manage employees and that's why I made www.Boss.Camp. Normally when I work with managers to it costs a lot of money but I am making this available online because this is something that I wish I had when I started working. And you can't get this type of practical help anywhere else. I've seen how Boss Camp can change people's lives and that's why I want to spread the message.
Let's step away from the African plains to cubicle farmville - it's beer o'clock on a Friday afternoon. Employee Dave emails his report and is out the door before you can even download it. Your stomach sinks as you realise you can kiss your weekend goodbye. Because you have to redo the report before deadline
You see obvious mistakes, you wish your employees would take a little more care,
Dave's left you a bunch of problems. You wish your employees would take more initiative and solve their own problems,
Dave said he can't work this weekend, You wish your staff would take more ownership for finishing their work
It seems as if Dave didn't listen to a thing that you said. You wish your staff would listen to you
You want to be amiable to your staff but you sometimes you wonder if they respect you at all
Sound familiar? Don't worry you're not alone because most people don't like their jobs
But imagine if your employees actually liked working hard? It probably sounds too good to be true but it would make your life as a boss a lot better wouldn't it?
Well that's what www.boss.camp is for - think about it like the genie in the bottle here to grant your wishes and it only takes just one hour a week. It But don't wait to join or I'll come to my senses and charge what it's worth.
Do you know that you, as the boss are one of the most important people in your employees life? And because we spend so much time at work, work satisfaction equals life satisfaction
Let's play a little game with a meaning of life sort of question. What do you want from your job?:
Do you want to work in a place where you can grow and use your potential
Do you want to do meaningful work, to feel valued and have your contribution acknowledged;
Do you want to fit in, to have a sense of belonging and
Do you want a good relationship with your boss;
... and this is what your employees want too. I know this because I have the research that says these are the real reasons that people enjoy their jobs. These are the reasons that people work hard. And these reasons are intrinsic motivators that are more powerful than money or authority.
But more than half of the workforce is un-engaged, unhappy and unproductive. Because
- You can't take it for granted that your employees will find meaning in their work.
- You can't take it for granted that your employees will be motivated
And you are the poor manager that has to manage all of these people who would rather not be at work. This is making your life hard.
So in the beginning I said I wanted to inspire you to make a difference in someones life. And yes I want you to help me make work more awesome. But the person that I want to make a difference for is you. Because being a manager is a tough job. Getting people to do what you want is difficult. But these intrinsic motivators are powerful tools you can use to make your manager life way more easy.
And unlike the story, you don't have to be the lion or the gazelle because this isn't a zero sum game, because you will be helping your employees to find meaning in their work and find job satisfaction. And helping people to grow is a pretty awesome feeling.
Now if you like this message, if you think it's time that we woke up and made work a better place, then I hope that you will share it. Because there are way too many unhappy people in work and far too many managers are expected to know how to manage employees without help. And I need your help to help them.
But the point of this isn't just to tell a clever story because what difference will that make? Words are powerful but without actions are meaningless. That's why I've put together some help to show you how to put this into practice. It's available at Boss.Camp. But I do want something from you in return. First I'm going to be sharing some powerful motivational techniques. In the wrong hands these can be used for manipulation. That's not the intent and jerks need not apply. Second, Good intentions alone don't make good bosses and if you can't try something new then it's not for you.
What it includes is:
- My own management failures and why I felt the need to spread this message
- When money works as a motivator and when money is a de-motivator
- Employee retention with results
Plus I'm going to dispel many myths about managing
For example
You've heard the saying that happy employees are productive employees. But that's not true because making people happy doesn't make them want to work. Bizarrely, it's actually the other way around: productive employees are happy employees. If you're skeptical, just think of the satisfaction from achieving something. But this only works when your employees are internally motivated. And before I get lynched, I do support good working conditions. But remember that fancy office chairs and free lunches aren't as important as people feeling that they are working on something meaningful.
So to wrap up:
People are unhappy because they're not finding fulfilment in their jobs. If you've ever ridden the tube on a Monday morning you know how true this is. But you, the boss can fix this by helping your employees to find work satisfaction. This isn't a hippie vision of puppydogs and rainbows. Because being a manager is a hard job. Instead of coercion, you can use motivators that are more powerful than money to inspire your employees to make a contribution and be productive.
I want to share with you one final thought - every problem that you have in work and in your business can be solved if you have a sufficiently motivated workforce.
That's why you can't wait, don't be the gazelle, join me for the rest of the story at: Boss.Camp

BEAT eggs, milk, salt and pepper in small bowl until blended.
HEAT butter in nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. POUR IN egg mixture. As eggs begin to set, GENTLY PULL the eggs across the pan with an inverted turner, forming large soft curds. CONTINUE cooking – pulling, lifting and folding eggs – until thickened and no visible liquid egg remains. Do not stir constantly.
TRANSFER eggs to microwave-safe plate. DRIZZLE with pizza sauce; top with pepperoni and cheese. MICROWAVE on HIGH a few seconds, just to melt cheese. SERVE immediately.
Insider Info
Add pizza toppings to scrambled eggs for a kid-friendly, high protein, breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Avoid cast iron. Eggs scrambled in a cast iron skillet can turn a greenish shade. This harmless but unappealing color change is the result of a chemical reaction between iron in the pan and sulfur in egg whites.
Don't overcook. The heat retained in the pan will continue to cook and firm up the eggs after pan is removed from heat.
How long to beat? It's a matter of preference. Light beating produces more dense scrambled eggs. Vigorous beating aerates the eggs, resulting in lighter fluffier curds.

The Joys of Black Garlic! A True Delicacy for the Discerning Palette
Posted byon
While black garlic originated in Korea, it is now sweeping across the nation, amazing everyone who tastes it. It is mostly used in gourmet foods cooked in upscale restaurants or seen on gourmet cooking shows (Iron Chef, Food Network, Top Chef New York), but the tasty treat should also have a place in your home. It's sweet caramelized flavor and qualities will make you forget all of worst things about garlic.
Garlic has a rich history steeped in medicinal lore and often lauded for its health benefits. Many studies have shown its antibacterial effects and anti-fungal properties. Black garlic on the other hand, has also been around awhile and it was even rumored to grant immortality in Taoism mythology. But recently, since the Japanese Government Food Development Centre analyzed black garlic in 2005, black garlic has taken over as a superfood. It contains 17 times higher antioxidants than regular garlic, and also contains the natural compound S-Allycysteine that can help prevent cancer. Since then, Japan has shifted their technology to China, which is the largest producer of black garlic in the world. But that doesn't mean black garlic hasn't migrated to the states. The Korean company Black Garlic also distributes black garlic in the United States and is based in Hayward, California. That means enough black garlic to go around!
Have a look at the demo video of the GarlicShaker - one of the fastest garlic peelers ever made!
Black garlic has a long cooking process that might not be so easy to make at home. Scott Kim, the owner of Black Garlic Company in California has a patent on his black garlic process and his machine. However, the process is similar as it is made by heating bulbs of fresh peeled garlic cloves over the course of several weeks, letting them cool for a week, and the end result is the black garlic cloves. The garlic cloves come out black because the garlic contains sugars and amino acids that produce Melanoidin- a dark colored substance that makes what would be white black garlic into what we know as black garlic. Many refer to this extended process as fermentation, but no microbial action takes place inside the process. Surprisingly, black garlic doesn't need any additives and mostly relies on the cooking process. Aging black garlic is what creates the extra nutrients because there are additional Polyphenol compound presences. When you look at black garlic you might be disgusted, but nothing about the end product is rotten- just aged.
Black garlic can be used for a variety of things. It has a versatile flavor that contains hints of molasses and balsamic vinegar. The jelly-like consistency is similar to soft dried fruit and when prepared perfectly, it can melt in your mouth. It can be ground up into puree or sauces, and it's great on pizza. The soft texture of the garlic molds perfectly with steaming cheese. Or you can slice it up and top of a Bruschetta. You can even slice it up and serve it on a salad!
Black garlic is a relatively new food in terms of modern culinary acceptance. While garlic has been around since the beginning of recorder history, and black garlic might have existed prior; I think a new age is upon us with black garlic production and it is one that looks tasty, healthy, and exotic.
Black garlic is a traditional specialty. Black garlic can be used to make a lot of dishes, including pizzas, pasta, salads, seafood and meats. Making your own black garlic fun way to create a unique flavor.
Making black garlic at home - Cooking Instructions
Chose whole cloves of fresh garlic. Preferably white or red garlic, but if you prefer other types it is fine too. Purple Garlic is very delicious! The important thing is for the head of garlic to be big and round. None of the cloves should be broken up and the entire head should be intact. Making black garlic is easy and does not take a lot of time if you are properly prepared. Start by putting some whole garlic bulbs into a bowl and do not peel any skin off. Ensure your bowl can hold as many bulbs as you wish.
After you have chosen your fresh garlic make sure that none of it is rotting or germinating. If it is, throw it away, or use it for something else, but don't try to make black garlic with it. It is preferable for the humidity to be 70% if possible.
Wash and clean your garlic. Use fresh (filtered water if possible) to rinse and clean your whole heads of garlic. After washing put them in a cool dry place for a minimum of 6 hours or longer until completely dry. Do not try to start the fermenting process while the garlic is still wet or damp. After confirming they are dry inspect for cleanliness. If the garlic is not clean repeat the cleaning process. Do not use garlic with dirt still on it for making black garlic.
You can also use a slow cooker or a rice cooker to make the black garlic if you prefer. Do not use foil if making black garlic in a ferment box, rice cooker, or slow cooker. You can purchase a black garlic fermenting machine at www.blackgarlic.cn a fermenting box is the best way to make black garlic and the safest.
In a fermenting box set the temperature to 122- 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Put the fresh garlic in the box. Set the humidity to 60-80% for 10 hours. After the first 10 hours change the settings on the ferment box to 160 degrees Fahrenheit and change the humidity to 90% for 30 hours. After those 30 hours are complete change the setting on the ferment box to 180 Fahrenheit with the humidity to 95% for 200 hours. At the end of 200 hours the black will be complete.
If you do not chose to use a fermenting box then try to follow the same temperature settings with your rice cooker or stove. (Not recommended)
Cooking black garlic
After you have made black garlic, you can cook it in many ways. Just like fresh garlic can be used in many dishes, black garlic can be used to make pizza toppings, puree, legume rice dishes and any legume based dishes. The black garlic ca also be an accompaniment with the cheese, chilies, smoked meat, sausages, grilled fish and much more.
Health benefits
Black garlic doesn't lose its health benefits. This is because the garlic contains more antioxidants, and also has S-Allycysteine. This is a compound that is said to be effective when it comes to prevention of cancer. Black garlic gets better as it ages since it gets sweeter. You can also store the black garlic for a long period of time, for up to 3 months, by just placing it in a jar and refrigerating it.
