"... Possibility of inclusion of videos would have made it more interesting. Desktop electronic equivalent of Post-it notes can be created and stuck on the display location you want. Having reviewed the features, there was not one that is not usable by women. Any working woman could easily use the product and find it useful. Except, may be the interface look & feel should have included a pink color scheme! The interface is built on Outlook style, thus may not need much familiarity time."

A gentler, more manageable approach to taming your curls and frizz than relaxing. Keratin 4 + Aloe breakthrough chemistry offers lasting versatility, giving you the KERATIN POWER to choose whether you want to wear hair styled straight or "wash & go" manageable curls after one use! Transforms hair with up to 5X less damage than relaxers and *lasts up to 6 weeks on treated growth (or 5 washes)! This treatment is a gentle, semi-permanent taming product that won't damage hair structure by breaking hair bonds the way other permanent chemical treatments do, and will have a gradual and cumulative effect the more you use it! Great for root touch ups (not a root straightener) or taming in between relaxer use.
Product Ingredients:
Protein smoothing treatment ingredients: water, cysteine HCL, ethanolamine, sodium bicarbonate, urea, hydroxyethylcelluse, ethanolamine thioglycolate, ppg 1 peg 9 lauryl glycol ether, decyl glucoside, hydrolyzed wheat protein, hydrolyzed keratin, aloe barbadensis leaf extract, propylene glycol, etidronic acid, polyquaternium 7, hydrolyzed silk, fragrance.
Neutralizing milk ingredients: water, cetearyl alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, etidronic acid, dimethicone, polyquaternium 37, ceteareth 30, cetrimonium chloride, sodium hydroxide, propylene glycol dicaprylate/dicaprate, dimethicone, hydroxycetyl hydroxyethyl dimonium chloride, 2,6 dicarboxypyridine, ppg 1 trideceth 6.
Kit Includes:
1 Application
2 No mix steps
If you have long or very thick hair, 2 kits may be necessary for one application
With up to 5X less damage than relaxers
Step 1: Protein smoothing treatment, with a breakthrough chemistry of Keratin 4 + Aloe that smoothes and tames the hair while making styling more manageable and versatile!
Step 2: Neutralizing Milk, containing active sealers to complete and preserve the semi-permanent taming effect on treated hair for up 6 weeks (or 5 washes)!
- Lasting versatility after 1 use without relaxing
- Easy to style to straight look
- "Wash & go" manageable curls
- Results last up to 6 weeks
- Proven suitable to use on previously relaxed hair
Ok so I bleached my hair last summer and it has been breaking off and shedding ever since. I've tried treatments and everything to keep it from breaking off and avoid cutting it but nothing was working. I also stopped relaxing my hair; I am not joining team natural but I just wanted try other ways to straighten my hair.
Keratin and Brazilian treatments have been hot lately so I wanted to give it a try. Most in-home & salon Keratin treatments require washing the hair, applying treatment then flat ironing hair, washing your hair again, and blow drying and flat ironing again. Sounds like a lot of time and work huh? Plus those treatments will run you a few hundred dollars while lasting 2-3 months. Hell for those prices I could buy someone else's straight hair and sew it in.
So when I got the chance to try Smooth 'N Shine Keratin Power Kit and saw it was only 2 steps I jumped on it to see if keratin might be the route for me. It was very simple and quick to use. I was about 10 weeks post relaxer when I used this so I had about 2 inches of new growth. The treatment didn't straighten my roots (it's not marketed for that) but it did relax them some. I immediately noticed before and after blow drying when I combed my hair out there was little to no shedding. While before I used Keratin Power there was tons of shedding. I normally wash my hair every two weeks and by then my hair is very dry. After I used this my hair felt soft throughout the whole two weeks. So even though I didn't get the straightening factor I wanted I was sold on the repair.
If you are natural and/or against chemical treatments then you might want to give Smooth 'N Shine Keratin Power a try. If you want something that gives you the same results as a relaxer this isn't for you. You can use it in-between relaxers if you want for a little freshen up. Smooth 'N Shine Keratin Power Kit doesn't claim to replace relaxers but help make your hair more manageable and that's exactly what it did. It definitely made blow drying, straightening and keep up easier. I can see myself buying this but I will also be looking for an affordable in-home keratin treatment that straightens also.

Not so long ago, back in 2013, a Ferrari 250 GTO sold for the unprecedented price of $52 million, setting a new record for the purchase of a car. That record lasted until this June 1st, when another '63 250 GTO, of which only 39 copies were built, changed hands for the tidy sum of $70 million USD.
This is more than has ever been paid for a car of any type.
The buyer of the 250 GTO is WeatherTech president David MacNeil, an avid racing fan and car collector. His son, Cooper MacNeil, is himself a race car driver and will be taking part in this year's 24 Hours of Le Mans at the wheel of a Ferrari 488 GTE.
For a Ferrari enthusiast like David MacNeil to decide to invest such an astronomical sum in the
Ferrari 250 GTO is easy to understand. But invest is the right word; it's only a matter of time before another Ferrari 250 GTO changes hands for even more money.
The car that was sold belonged to German car collector Christian Glaesel. This 1963 edition of the model carries the chassis number 4153 GT, and it actually raced in, and won, the Tour de France Automobile in 1964 with Lucian Bianchi and Georges Berger as pilot and co-pilot, respectively. The two drivers raced for the Écurie Nationale Belge group in the GT category. The car also participated in the 1963 24 Hours of Le Mans, coming in fourth. It went on to take part in a large number of races over the following two years. Incredibly, it was never involved in an accident – a minor miracle at the time.
So, why $70 million?
For ordinary folks, paying $70 million for a car is sheer lunacy. But this kind of deal needs to be seen differently. Concretely, the 250 GTO model, equipped with a V12 engine, is considered to be the ultimate masterpiece produced in Ferrari's long history, on a par with a master painter's most acclaimed work. The 250 GTO carries an aura; and since only 39 copies of it were produced, its value has skyrocketed.
The car will be tucked safely away in the buyer's private collection, and like a sound investment it will gain in value over the years.
The day a $100 million car changes hands might not be that far off.

Do you ever feel out of your depth in these situations?
We were given a sheaf of poetry chosen from other languages.
I chose one in gaelic by Nuala Ni Dhomhnaill..."Ceist na Teangan"
Now I hadn't ever learnt Irish...went to the wrong school!! but dad was an Armagh man and over my life I realised that some of those "odd" words that he and Aunt Cis used were most probably Gaelic.
Whether Irish or Scottish I cannot say....but definitely not Anglo Saxon English.
So when asked by the leader of the day to write a poem based on the sound of the words and the rhythm of the lines...I thought of dad and all the story-telling that he had done when he was alive.
...and I wrote this piece, making up a story of chieftains and betrayal in Ireland...
of which I now know from reading Irish history...there was a lot between clans!!
I looked up the translation of the original poem and there was the story of Moses in the basket being found and reared by the Pharoah's daughter....
Maybe it was the rhythm...or maybe something much deeper made me think of this story of betrayal.

Company Profile:
OFFICINA STELLARE (OS) is an innovative small-medium sized company based in Sarcedo – Vicenza, active in the design and production of telescopes and opto-mechanical and aerospace instrumentation for Ground and Space based applications.
The company was founded in 2009 by Riccardo Gianni (President), Giovanni Dal Lago (CEO) and Gino Bucciol (Chief Business Development Officer), and it has since grown giving particular importance to the internal production of optics, even large diameter-class optics, thanks to the optical laboratory started after Fabio Rubeo joined the company.
Officina Stellare can easily be referenced worldwide for its expertise in managing complex engineering projects, delivering complete turn-key custom designed optical systems, among the best available on the market today.
Officina Stellare is one of the fewest companies worldwide to have the full production life cycle completely in-house, for the production and put into operation of complex opto-mechanical engineering projects for scientific, research, commercial or defense related purposes, with a specific focus on the New Space Economy. A single reference point for the customers: from specifications drafting to the final acceptance tests, passing through the complex integration and metrological phases, exploiting the maximum efficiency of the supply chain and a better risk management.
Thanks to the high quality of its products, recognized among the best on the market, Officina Stellare has grown rapidly in recent years, increasing revenues in the following sectors:
The internal optical Lab which offers a complete service for design, manufacturing and test of mirrors, lenses and catadioptric systems, up to 1 meter in diameter. The processing is made by using modern CNC machines able to obtain machining accuracy responding to the most demanding applications.
The main facility at the Sarcedo Headquarter, where integration of the optical systems and test activities take place thanks to:
• Interferometric and Shack/Hartmann test based measurements;
• Hi-precision null lenses, CGH, reference spheres and flat mirrors, alignment telescopes;
• CMM machine;
• Ultra precise curvature radii measurement;
• Precision stabilized optical benches.
Large, fully equipped, class ISO 8, 7 and 5 Clean Rooms for integration and test quality control on opto-mechanical systems
The engineering design division offices, where custom projects are first developed
The meeting rooms
The relax area
2 fully automated and remotely controlled observatories for on sky tests and functionality simulations of the observing instrumentation.
Our name, our logo, our payoff
The name "Officina Stellare" if literally translated, means "star workshop". By this name, we wanted to recall a place where accurate manufacturing is carried out, where assembly, measurement and testing are performed with granular accuracy and passion and where innovative solutions are investigated. It is thanks to all these passages that complex opto-mechanical systems are designed to become research grade scientific instruments for the study of the stars and Space.
Officina Stellare is therefore a workshop in which highly specialized personnel forge technologically advanced scientific instruments for astronomical research and Earth observation from Space.
Officina Stellare is represented by two stars of the Pleiades, drew by Galileo Galilei and published in his masterwork, the "Sidereus Nuncius" in 1710. One of those stars was finally visible thanks to the sensational invention of Galileo Galilei: the telescope. This logo has a clear reference to our mission: giving people more and more advanced tools with which to expand their knowledge about Space and the Universe.
"Our world. Your Space": Our passion for science, technology, research, at the service of scientific knowledge.
Our "world", that is our work, our passion for science, technology and research, is at the service of our customers and their need to aim at the conquest of "space" and the Universe. To enhance the knowledge or the development of their business within the New Space Economy.

Cobh Ramblers 0, Norwich City 5: Daniel Farke guides his Canaries to comfortable opening night win
©Focus Images Limited www.focus-images.co.uk +447814 482222
Cobh's compact St Colman's Park tucked in a picturesque corner of southern Ireland on a sun-kissed summer's evening is a world away from the cut and thrust of Championship combat.
The opposition was game, but limited, the pitch less than conducive to the flowing football Daniel Farke wants to bring to Norwich City.
There was a sprinkling of new blood in a starting XI that featured the towering Christophe Zimmermann and Mario Vrancic. Harrison Reed watched on from the stands after sealing a season-long loan move from Southampton. Marley Watkins had to bide his time before a second half bow.
It felt like new beginnings. James Maddison, Josh Murphy and Harry Toffolo brought youth and vibrant endeavour. Wes Hoolahan the stardust back in the land of his birth and Nelson Oliveira perhaps tellingly preferred to Cameron Jerome for this opening stroll.
Vrancic needed all of five minutes to underline his quality. A dipping, swerving corner was flicked on at the near post and Alex Tettey bundled home from inside the six yard box. In truth, the ball appeared to hit the Norwegian rather fortuitously but it was the perfect opening salvo.
Tettey may have a crucial role in this new-look Norwich; an industrious, hard-working, disciplined pivot to the flair players around him. The speed Farke demanded his men switch the play was a marked feature. Possession for possession's sake will not cut it in the Championship. Alex Neil was castigated for a lack of flexibility and an almost zealous devotion to his one-dimensional philosophy. The tactical tweaks in the opening period at St Colman's Park saw a 4-3-3 become a 4-1-4-1 with relative ease. That ability to react and to adapt, that collective football intelligence on the pitch, was all too often absent under the rigid Scot.
Farke's City must be able to pass sides off the park in the second tier and scrap with them when the occasion dictates.
Zimmermann and Klose certainly look the part but the Swiss international was found wanting too often when the Championship dictated punch as much as panache.
Cobh's limitations with the ball were evident. This was always going to be a fitness work out; a practical after nearly two weeks of theory at Colney and their exclusive Irish training base at Fota Island.
City's comfortable first hit out was only the start. There will be more changes to personnel before the Canaries' emerge at Craven Cottage on August 5. Yanic Wildschut will not be City's right full-back against the Cottagers.
Alan Irvine, remember him, insisted those under his command were on trial during an extended interim spell. The new head coach and sporting director Stuart Webber would be watching, listening and forming opinions. The same maxim still holds true. Perhaps that is the negative to such routine friendlies. It took 25 minutes for Cobh's Matthew Whelan to threaten a strike on Remi Matthews' goal. The decibel level amongst the excitable home fans rose in unison, but it was a rare incursion into enemy territory.
Vrancic and Tettey were the prominent actors in the absence of Graham Dorrans and Jonny Howson. The Bosnian international unleashed a rising shot on that sweet left foot that just cleared Michal Sadys' bar.
Oliveira adjusted his target to cut inside and whip a low finish past Sadys before Vrancic was rewarded with a cool, composed close range slot as City moved through the gears.
Farke remained upright and motionless in his technical area. There is already an emerging sense the German is a hard man to please. He would surely have appreciated the quality of Maddison's free kick that brought a fourth via the back of Sadys after his effort clipped the top of the bar and the flailing Cobh keeper.
These are pivotal weeks ahead for the Coventry-bred attacker. Fresh from a new deal he knows he needs to impress to stand any chance of dislodging both Hoolahan and Alex Pritchard when the real action commences. Underlined by his sublime fifth goal to seal the victory. But the same applies to every one of his team mates. This was an encouraging opening statement.
• Cobh Ramblers (starting XI): Sadys, O'Riordan, McSweeney, McCarthy, Lowth, O'Donnell, Donnellan, Murphy, Abbott, Whelan, Christopher.
• Norwich City (first half): Matthews, Wildschut, Klose, Zimmermann, Toffolo, Maddison, Tettey, Vrancic, Josh Murphy, Hoolahan, Oliveira.
• Norwich City (second half): Jones, Pinto, Klose, Zimmermann, Godfrey, Lewis, Watkins, Naismith, Pritchard, Morris, Jerome.
• Goals: Tettey (5), Oliveira (26), Vrancic (28), Maddison (34), Pritchard (82)

Keeping two small people alive on very little sleep, knowing instinctively when one of them is about to leap off something high and soothing cries with magic kisses.
There are many superpowers I have acquired since becoming a mum. Noone can really tell you what being a parent is like until you have experienced it. Noone can explain the unadulterated love and adoration you have for your children. And noone can explain the relentlessness of caring for them.
When I had J four years ago my life became a whirlwind of all night feeds, babywearing and sleep deprivation. I would look at him and cry tears of joy and disbelief that we had finally made this tiny little person after two long years of trying.
But then the hard times began. The cyring. The eczema. The constant wakings. The weightloss. And we were soon thrown into another portion of parenting – the helplessness and desperation of trying to help your sick child.
Luckily, after a lot of sleeplessness nights, doctors' visits and persistence, we eventually got a diagnosis of multiple food allergies and could begin to move forward and find a new normal. He is now a lively and inquisitive little boy who loves to puddle jump, play trains and ask a million questions.
His little sister, Miss A, is a one year old whirlwind and also has multiple allergies. My parenting superpower of 'mother's instinct' was strong when she was born and I knew we were heading down the same road. Together they like to keep us on our toes!
Here is where our superpowers come into play the most. We have to keep them safe, protect them from life threatening allergic reactions, while still letting them play, explore and live a full life. We have to encourage them to enjoy food, bake and get messy, even though they can't eat many regular ingredients. We have to put our own anxiety aside so they learn to manage and understand their allergies and see them as part of their unique make up, rather than a limitation.
Nobody said parenting was easy and parenting children with allergies definitely isn't but we all know it's worth it. I want my children to know that they too have superpowers, and they can soar.

5 Simple Steps to Avoid Purchasing a Fake or Counterfeited Technology
Everyone wants to buy the latest technology at the lowest price. Do you know that there are people who may make you fool by selling you dud devices like laptop, tablet smartphone, or any other gadget by saying that it is original and unused available at comparatively at lower price. There are people who counterfeit products and sell them in grey market.
Counterfeiting is not new and it is a huge industry. The market for counterfeited products is all across the world and there are factories and manufacturing units all over the world that create look like things, but actually, they are not. Some of you may think that it is okay to have a good fake product, but if you think so, you would be wrong especially when it comes to purchasing tech devices such as laptops, smartphones, and tablets.
Buying a fake is not an ideal idea because you may not be aware of what you are about to purchase. You may not be sure about the product that it will be of the same standard that you want to buy. Counterfeit products may not only be a bad investment, but can be dangerous also. This document is to guide you how you can spot a counterfeit product and avoid buying a fake technology. Here five points are given that you need to bear in mind to spot fake technology.
Check the price before buying anything even if you are making an online purchase. Price is one of the most important things that you need to check, as there are all sorts of reasons to sell a gadget at staggeringly low price. Although you can of course find a bargain, but if you find that the product is being sold at less than half of its actual retail value, think twice why. It may be possible that it is a a grey-market import or stolen.
To minimize the risk of buying a fake technology, always make a purchase from a reputable vendor. Use your credit card, enquire about the deal that seems outstandingly good. Be warned because even the biggest resellers may sell you the fake products.
Product Code, Features and Details
You need to sure that you are buying what you expecting a product should be. Even if you can't get hold of the device you are purchasing, verify the specifications and product code to avoid any fake deal. There are online retailers also who are not bothered about selling a fake product, rather they balk at lie that product is original. They specify the specifications on their websites as if it is not fake or counterfeited.
There is not only one or two retails who are likely to be the smartest on the block. There are number of such retailers so it is your job to check closely for anomalies. The same retailer is unlikely to be. Before buying anything online, compare the specification, details, and code published by the vendor with the product you are about to buy. If you are buying a phone, check the IMEI and explore the details on how it fits into the list of legitimate products.
By looking at the features list, checking its available colors and size, camera, and such other specifications, you may get to know if it is original and legitimate or not. Another thing that you should watch out for updates and accessories it includes.
Performance and Build Design
Get your hands on product if you are not sure about the device. With little awareness, you can easily spot the fake products even if they are manufactures at the same place where the genuine articles are being manufactured. If any product is available at lower price than the other articles of the same category, then material and components that the fake product contain may not be of good standard.
Check any fake product be it a laptop, phone, tablet, or gadget, it will be surprisingly lightweight. Check for any manufacturer badges, its edges and joins, substandard materials or for shoddy workmanship. If you feel something is not right with the product, don't buy it. It you get a chance to use or check the device before buying it, go for it because it is always good to test.
It may surprise you, but it is also an effective test. If a product is not available in your region and still some vendors are selling it, product availability as well as legitimacy is questionable. Vendors use the tricks to develop and divert your interest by creating the rumors that there is scarcity of a particular product that you have a chance to buy or you are getting. Hold on and give it a second thought to get to know is it true. It may be fake news, a fraud site that is selling a dodgy import. If you get a doubt in your mind that a product is not able to buy, there may be something wrong with the deal.
Checking the terms of the manufacturer's warranty is the final check always worth of carrying out while purchasing electrical goods and other products. A legitimate deal will always include the manufacturer's warranty with it where it promise to provide you replacement or repair services for computing machines, support for printing devices, etc. (the product you are buying).
Although all the above test may not guarantee you that you certainly will be able of detecting fake deals, but if you consider all of them together, they will be very helpful to safeguard you against purchasing a fake or counterfeited device. Here the prime object is don't allow others to make you fool. If any of the product doesn't match any of the above discussed aspect, drop the idea of purchasing.

London (ANTARA News) - Indonesian Ambassador to Portugal Ibnu Wahyutomo has invited Portuguese companies to do business in Indonesia.
As maritime countries, Indonesia and Portugal should enhance collaboration among companies to achieve mutual benefits, Ambassador Wahyutomo remarked at a seminar on Ports and Internationalization Engineering Opportunities in Indonesia held by the Indonesian Embassy in Lisbon.
According to a statement from the Indonesian Embassy received by Antara here, Monday, hundreds of Portuguese investors engaged in the port sector participated in the seminar.
The seminar provided information to Portuguese investors on the investment realities in Indonesia.
Indonesian state-owned company PT Samudera Indonesia was present as a representative of port business actors in Indonesia, while the Ministry of Transportation was in attendance as a representative of the Indonesian government.
Transportation Attach? at the Indonesian Embassy in London Lollan Panjaitan pointed out that Indonesia is a maritime country with abundant human resources, stable economic growth, and a large number of people belonging to the middle class.
According to Panjaitan, development inequality between the western and eastern regions in Indonesia has encouraged the Indonesian government to promote the construction of port infrastructure that is expected to connect all points in the country.
Meanwhile, Head of Economic Research at PT Samudera Indonesia Ibrahim Kholilul Rohman stated that PT Samudera Indonesia had helped develop the business potentials in the port sector in Indonesia.
"Samudera Indonesia is the only private company to build, develop, and operate container ports in Indonesia," he pointed out.
According to Rohman, based on the experience of PT Samudera Indonesia, efficient port governance will help the development of economic diversification, increase employment, lower the prices of goods, and increase trade volume.
At the event, Portuguese investors explored Indonesia`s experiences in managing ports.

The channel, hosted by the seven-year-old Ryan Kaji (but operated by his parents), has often released Kaji's toys and unboxing. The complaint said that Kaji's parents did not disclose Chuck E. Cheese.
"an adult may distinguish. When a child influencer like Ryan is playing with his own product, "Bonnie Patten, executive director of Truth in Advertising, told The Verge. "as a target audience for preschool children, they are not aware that they are advertising. Their goal is to get children to say something like 'what Ryan has,' and so on. "
Patten's main concern is that placing a disclaimer at the top of the description box of YouTube videos is not enough for young children to understand that it's a paid advertisement. The moral dilemma posed to creators like Kaji and his parents is a gray area that has attracted YouTube's attention before. The creator has mentioned netizens like Jake Paul, who has repeatedly mentioned that his target audience includes children of about eight years old, because he uses sponsors to promote controversial products on his channel.
The truth complaint in the ad also raises a related issue that the YouTube community has previously addressed: creators present their goods and other products to young viewers. A survey by NerdCity's podcast Een in 2018 found nearly half of Paul's video was used to advertise his products, which are trying to sell to young children. That's why someone has described Paul's advertising approach as predatory.
This is a problem. Advocacy groups have been fighting YouTube for years, but this week a key factor changed. YouTube has in the past reversed criticism by reiterating that its terms of service clearly stipulate that the site is not suitable for anyone under the age of 13. Instead, YouTube points out that its official children's app is where younger viewers can watch more planning videos. Even so, child rights advocacy groups complain that YouTube blatantly ignores many of its largest channels, including toy box-breaking, which are specifically targeted at young children. The company also allows advertisers to specialize in family content, which seems to contradict YouTube's statement.
Now, YouTube is changing everything after receiving a record $170 million fine for alleged violations of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act. YouTube must stop collecting video data for minors, which means that these videos will not be able to be launched with location-based advertising. This may encourage creators to get more sponsorship from companies because they can no longer broadcast a popular advertisement on their channels. Authors who make videos that appeal to young audiences or directly target children must also mark their videos as such and lose some product functions, including the ability to send notifications. YouTube has also launched a dedicated children's version of the website that can be accessed online, which exists alongside the YouTube children's application.
This does not address Patten's concerns about the blurred boundaries in the creator's videos, but she believes it proves that the government and YouTube are ready to address the serious advertising problems on the platform. "Influential marketing is a relatively new form of marketing," Patten said. "Research and law must catch up with it now. Now there is a series of studies that can guide FTC to solve this problem, especially when it comes to children. I think we will definitely see new guidelines for FTC. "
Patten says that this is not a restriction on all creators working with advertisers or using their own platforms to promote their own products. This is to understand the difference between the process of viewing videos and trying to sell them something and the process of not selling them. "When it comes to young children, especially preschool children, studies show that'You can't advertise them in a deliberate way because they can't distinguish advertising from content'.

The Australian government is holding an "urgent investigation" into how thousands of highly classified government documents found their way to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, NPR reported.
ABC published a controversial report earlier on Wednesday, detailing how they obtained hundreds of top-secret and highly classified documents in what they dubbed as an "extraordinary breach of national security." According to a lengthy report from Australia's largest broadcasting network, the thousands of pages of documents had been left in two filing cabinets, which the government sold off at a second-hand shop in Canberra. The shop is reportedly a place where ex-government furniture is regularly sold off on the cheap.
"The deals can be even cheaper when the items in question are two heavy filing cabinets to which no-one can find the keys," the ABC said in its news report. The cabinets were purchased for "small change," the report said, after which it sat unopened for some months until a drill was used to open the locks.
Seth Klarman Tells His Investors: Central Banks Are Treating Investors Like "Foolish Children"
"Surreal doesn't even begin to describe this moment," Seth Klarman noted in his second-quarter letter to the Baupost Group investors. Commenting on the market developments over the past six months, the value investor stated that events, which would typically occur over an extended time frame, had been compressed into just a few months. He noted Read More
Inside of the cabinets was the trove of documents now dubbed The Secret Cabinet Files, consisting of thousands of pages that reveal the inner workings of five separate governments that span nearly a decade. According to ABC, an overwhelming majority of the cabinet files were classified, some as "top secret" or "AUSTEO," meaning they are to be seen by Australian eyes only. Despite the highly classified nature of the secret cabinet files, the ex-government furniture sale was not limited to Australians.
When ABC started publishing excerpts from the secret cabinet files they recovered, it triggered mass speculation about a possible leak in the current government led by Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull since 2015. However, the network stated that there was no leak from the government, and insisted that no laws had been broken.
Refusing to release any names or details about the person or people who bought the filing cabinets, or how it learned about them, ABC said that it will protect their privacy "at all costs."
Following the news about the massive national security breach, the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet released a statement saying that it's looking into "the circumstances around the disposal of two Commonwealth Government filing cabinets that allegedly contained classified material." The NPR reported that no additional details about the investigation were provided.
Under Australian law, the secret cabinet files would have become public only after 20 years had passed, in order for senior ministers to feel they can speak openly and freely in the sanctity of the cabinet room. However, with some of the oldest documents in the secret cabinet files being dated 10 years back, their release might prove to be a serious threat to Australia's national security.
The ABC report stated that not all of the secret cabinet files they obtained were published. Reporters working on the piece said they've withheld documents if the information they held had already been made public, to protect the privacy of public servants, or if they deemed the content of the document posed a threat to national security.
What's in the secret cabinet files?
The documents contained in the secret cabinet files revealed the inner workings of five separate governments. Despite some media outlets claiming that information about former Prime Minister Tony Abbott was among the most damaging, the information contained in the secret cabinet files didn't stop at him or his government.
Some of the secret cabinet files revealed that former immigration minister Scott Morrison, who currently serves as Prime Minister Turnbull's treasurer, tried to limit the number of approved asylum seekers entering Australia in late 2013. According to the ABC report, Morrison arranged delays in security checks so that people who were close to being granted permanent protection would miss the deadline. Morrison's move reportedly affected about 30 asylum seekers each week.
Former Prime Minister Tony Abbott's expenditure review committee often referred to as "razor gang," was also mentioned in the secret cabinet files. According to the ABC report, then-prime minister Mr. Abbott, then-treasurer Joe Hockey and Finance Minister Mathias Cormann considered denying welfare to anyone under 30 years of age. Citing the secret cabinet file, the report said that Abbott's razor gang requested then-social services minister Kevin Andrews look at how to ban "job snobs" from receiving income support.
Among the more shocking information contained in the secret cabinet files was the fact that the Australian Federal Police (AFP) lost nearly 400 national security files in a period of five years. According to a government stocktake contained in the secret cabinet files, the documents lost by the AFP belong to the powerful National Security Committee (NSC) of the cabinet.
Nearly 200 classified, codeword protected, and sensitive documents were also briefly lost in 2013, the ABC report on the secret cabinet files revealed. The top-secret documents were left in the office of senior minister Penny Wong after the Australian Labour Party lost the 2013 election. The materials listed in the secret cabinet files dealt with topics such as Middle East defense plans, national security briefs, Afghan war updates, intelligence on Australia's neighbors and details of counter-terrorism operations.
The ABC report stated that these were not the same documents obtained as part of the secret cabinet files and that they were eventually found by security staff who then oversaw their destruction.

Abdominal abscess
Abdominal abscess: Description, Causes and Risk Factors:
An abdominal abscess is a collection of pus in the abdominal cavity. It can occur anywhere in the abdomen area (such as the stomach, liver, kidneys, or intestines). The problem is enclosed in a capsule that is made up of infected tissues. This is filled with pus (consists of dead skin cells, bacteria and blood).
In most cases, an abdominal abscess forms when another organ inside the abdomen becomes infected with bacteria.
Possible causes for an abdominal abscess include:
Abdominal surgery.
- Cholecystitis.
- Diverticulitis.
- Intestinal parasites.
- Intestinal perforation.
- Pancreatitis.
- Perforated ulcer.
- Peritonitis.
- Ruptured appendix.
Other causes include untreated penetrating trauma to the abdominal viscera and postoperative complications, such as anastomotic leakage or missed gallstones during laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Microbiology includes a mixture of aerobic and anaerobic organisms. The most commonly isolated aerobic organism is Escherichia coli (E. coli), and the most commonly observed anaerobic organism is Bacteroides fragilis. A synergistic relationship exists between these organisms. In patients who receive prolonged antibiotic therapy, yeast colonies (eg, candidal species) or a variety of nosocomial pathogens may be recovered from abscess fluids.
Skin flora may be responsible for abscesses after a penetrating abdominal injury. Neisseria gonorrhoeae and chlamydial species are the most common organisms involved in pelvic abscesses in females as part of pelvic inflammatory disease. The type and density of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria isolated from intra-abdominal abscesses depend upon the nature of the microflora associated with the diseased or injured organ.
Microbial flora of the GI tract shifts from small numbers of aerobic streptococci, including enterococci and facultative gram-negative bacilli in the stomach and proximal small bowel, to larger numbers of these species, with an excess of anaerobic gram-negative bacilli (particularly Bacteroides species) and anaerobic gram-positive flora (streptococci and clostridia) in the terminal ileum and colon.
Differences in microorganisms observed from the upper portion of the GI tract to the lower portion partially account for differences in septic complications associated with injuries or diseases to the upper and lower gut. Sepsis occurring after upper GI perforations or leaks causes less morbidity and mortality than does sepsis after leaks from colonic insults.
Symptoms of an abdominal abscess depend on its size and location. Symptoms of an abdominal abscess may include abdominal pain, abdominal swelling, and constipation or diarrhea. The infection may also cause a fever, nausea, weakness, and fatigue.Due to increased pressure and enlarged abdomen, this may press on the bladder causing bladder irritation. This can lead to symptoms such as frequent urinating and increased urge to urinate.
To confirm a certain medical condition, diagnostic tests must be done to carefully evaluate the present illness. Diagnostic tests are performed to aid the physician in his/her treatment plans and interventions. The common tests for this problem may include:
CT scan - this diagnostic test is done to assess the morphology (structure) of the abdomen and if there are any abnormal growths present. A CT scan provides 3Dimensional imagery of the internal organs. CT scans also provide cross-sectional images (horizontal and vertical slices) of organs, thus aiding the physician in identifying the specific location of any problems.
- Ultrasound of the whole abdomen - a test performed to check for growths and to assess for any defects in any of the organs.
- MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) - preferred for patients without metal implants. Before the procedure, all items with metal such as bra, belt, accessories (such as necklace, earrings) are removed. This is a confirmatory test for diagnosing abdominal abscess. MRI provides detailed structure of the abdomen.
- Stool exam / Stool Culture and Sensitivity - feces is submitted to the laboratory (preferably 0 - 30 minutes after defecating for test accuracy). This is done to assess the stool formation (watery - diarrhea, hard - constipated), and also to check for the condition of the digestive track. This will aid the examiner determine the bacteria causing any abdominal abscess.
In most cases, an abdominal abscess is treated with antibiotics and drainage of the pus that forms in the abscess. Most of the time, the abscess is drained with a catheter, which is placed through the skin, and then guided to the abscess using CT scan. The catheter is removed and the abscess usually resolves in 1 to 4 weeks. In some cases, a surgeon must make an incision in the abdomen to drain the abscess.
When abscess drainage and antibiotics are ineffective, surgery will be performed. This will be done in the operating room under general anesthesia. The abdomen may be incised to access the abscess and to remove the surrounding infected tissues.
Laparoscopy - a kind of surgery done in the Operating room under general anesthesia. This is done by creating small punctures (usually 3 punctures with the size of 1 cm or less in diameter) in the abdomen. Laparoscopy is less invasive than open surgery. A camera and light source is secured in place. This is attached to the monitor for the physician to see what is inside. The other holes are for the other instruments. These instruments are special tools used by the surgeon to remove the abscess. The instruments are long and have hand graspers / controllers in the end (a laparoscopic scissor looks like a scissor, but the scissor itself is at the very tip of the instrument, and to control it, a grasper is attached at the end). Everything that is done inside can be seen in the monitor. The procedure may also be recorded in a disk and the physician may go over it for review. Laparoscopic procedure is preferred for patients with Diabetes and other medical illnesses (such as cancer, etc.), due to its faster recovery time than open abdominal surgery.

Are You Tough Enough?
Brighton Marathon (15 April) dominates the fixtures in the south of England this weekend and Virgin Money London Marathon looms large on the horizon next Sunday (22 April) but there is an antidote to all this marathon fever.
The General has ordered all marathon rejects and other interested parties to assemble at the battle field in Winchester for a two-day endurance challenge featuring tough trails and enough obstacles to satisfy the warrior gene in anyone.
Tough Enough Races are the experienced team behind this mind over matter exercise held at Matterley Estate for the 6th year. This privately owned dairy farm in Ovington was the venue for General Eisenhower's rallying 1944 address to the troops ahead of Operation Overlord, the D-Day landings, and more recently the 50 acre natural amphitheatre known as the Matterley Bowl has hosted the BoomTown Festival and many other major sporting and cultural events.
The programme on Saturday is a 10k or 20k trail race through ancient woodland and areas of special scientific interest with spectacular views not normally accessible to the public. Last year's champions will be present to attempt to defend their titles against allcomers. Will anyone be Tough Enough to take them down? Remember, fortune favours the brave.
Sunday's combat offering is the famous Obstacle Race with 20 man-made tests of strength, agility and courage over the 10k course. There will also be a free mini-obstacle course for the kids to tackle. All the obstacles have military names and competitors can choose to make the task even harder by carrying a 5kg baton, equivalent in size and weight to the SA80 Army rifle.
Other alternatives to pounding the tarmac in search of bragging rights include Rough Runner South at Bereleigh Estate, East Meon, Hampshire; Honiton Hippo in Devon and Effingham Adventure Race near Leatherhead, Surrey.
Of course, if you are infected with spring marathon fever you will be wrapped in cotton wool and wearing an antivirus face mask until the race is underway, so you will not be studying our runABC South race listings brought to you in association with Sports Tours International

The floor is going in!
I spent today learning how to install a wood floor. It takes a bit of practice to get everything lined up, but once I got the hang of it things went pretty swiftly. I had to install a layer of sound absorbing fabric underlayment first. This layer acts as a thin pad between the plywood subfloor and the new wooden floating laminate. Again, not very hard to do but takes a few minutes to get everything lined up.
Once that was done I just started at one side of the studio and began laying down rows of wooden floor material. The first two rows are a real pain because it's all so light that the pieces want to come apart or get misaligned. Even though she's sick, Erin volunteered to hold one end of the slats while I worked on the other end. By the third row the whole assembly was heavy enough to stay still on its own, so Erin was able to go back to the couch and sneeze/snooze.
All told I got about 3/5 of the floor installed and man, are my knees tired. Today I worked on the easy part- no weird cuts, just laying the pieces down and snapping them together. Tomorrow I have to do the most difficult part of the floor. There are weird sloping cuts that have to go around the 18 and 9 degree angles of the iso booth. Not sure how I'm going to do that.
It's only half finished but it looks fantastic. Every bit as professional and beautiful as I'd hoped. Unfortunately, laminate isn't as strong as 1″ thick wooden planks, though. I had to move the compound miter saw station from the ply wood to the new wood floor when I started to run out of room and during this transition I managed to dent the new floor slightly. The CMS is on a sheet that'll hopefully keep this from happening further, but it was a good lesson. Luckily the damage is pretty slight, and I figure that it's going to happen sooner or later. I just wish that I could have waited until I got the whole thing in first! Ah well. you'd be hard pressed to see the damage unless I pointed it out.
I couldn't help myself so I spread out the new carpet and held up the fabric for the curtains. Big smiles all around.
Tomorrow I'll put in the rest of the floor and start working on the trim. I think that I will really and truly be finished with this project by the end of the week.

A celebration of the life of Nipsey Hussle kick-started on Thursday morning, where more than 20,000 people flocked to the memorial to pay their respects to the slain rapper.
The hearse carrying Hussle's coffin (shown) from the Staples Center traveled deep into the neighborhood where the deadly Rodney King race riot began in 1992.
The Nipsey Hussle's Celebration of Life ceremony began at 10am at the Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles, and thousands more are expected to take to the streets for a 25-mile procession through the city.
The hearse carrying Hussle's coffin arrived at the stadium flocked by a convoy of black Rolls Royces.
Following the ceremony, the car will then travel deep into the neighborhood where the deadly Rodney King race riot began in 1992 and on past the property where Hussle had planned to turn an aging strip mall into new businesses and affordable homes.
Finally, it will arrive at a funeral home in the city's hard-scrabble Crenshaw district, where the rapper was born on Aug. 15, 1985.
Hussle was shot to death March 31 while standing outside The Marathon, his South Los Angeles clothing store, not far from where the rapper grew up. The store will be one of the places where Hussle's casket passes during the procession through South Los Angeles.
Eric R. Holder Jr., who has been charged with killing Hussle, has pleaded not guilty. Police have said Holder and Hussle had several interactions the day of the shooting and have described it as being the result of a personal dispute.
The 33-year-old Grammy-nominated rapper, whose real name was Ermias Asghedom, was an Eritrean-American father of two who was engaged to actress Lauren London.
He was a beloved figure for his philanthropic work that went well beyond the usual celebrity 'giving back' ethos.
Following his death, political and community leaders were as quick and effusive in their praise as his fellow hip-hop artists.
Hussle recently purchased the strip mall where The Marathon is located and planned to redevelop it into a mixed-use commercial and residential complex. The plan was part of Hussle's broader ambitions to remake the neighborhood where he grew up and attempt to break the cycle of gang life that lured him in when he was younger.

Your search for "SEC24B" returned 40 siRNAs
SEC24 homolog B, COPII coat complex component
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the SEC24 subfamily of the SEC23/SEC24 family, which is involved in vesicle trafficking. The encoded protein is thought to be a cargo-binding component of the COPII vesicle, and is thought to be involved in the transport of secretory proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi apparatus. Mutations in this gene have been associated with neural tube defects, and are thought to be a result of a disruption in interactions with the protein encoded by the VANGL planar cell polarity protein 2 (VANGL2) gene. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015]

American Strays (1996)
The desert can be a lonely place for the people who live there or for those who are traveling through. It is also the teller of different stories including the story of a traveling salesman whose only commodity is death and the story of a young man who finds that the death that he wishes for is difficult to find. Others are just traveling through, on their way to another place when they stop to eat at Red's Desert Oasis. The food may not be great, and the waitress may be surly, but those who stopped at Red's will find that they are involved in the showdown of their life.

On 21 of June ICMPD in Armenia welcomed two experts from the Ministry of Interior Affairs of Moldova, Mr. Petru Turcan and Ms. Olesea Cotoman to briefe the representatives from the ministries of Foreign Affairs, Justice and the State Migration Service on the implementation of a Visa Dialogue and Visa Liberalisation Action Plan (VLAP). Successful and failed experiences on negotiating, implementing, monitoring and communication on VLAP were presented.
The experts shared the internal dimensions of the process: the agreed division of labour within and between the agencies involved and communication strategies within the government and with the general public. They also presented the external side on how the progress was monitoring and discussed reporting methodologies. Of utmost importance were lessons learnt: do's and don't's of negotiating and targeted approach to certain EU member states.
On November 15, 2013 European Commission published the 5th Progress Report on the implementation of Action Plan on visa liberalization regime, which noted that all conditions have been achieved, and starting with April 28, 2014, Moldovan citizens holders of biometric passport benefits of a liberalized visa free regime. The experts noted that there are still actions to be performed like efficient management of migration flow, capacity building in sector segments, capacity building in sector segments, development of new EU concepts and others.

Taste Test: Which chain makes the best glazed ring doughnut in Bangkok?
The debate that goes round and round.
Our blind taste test series goes back to basics with Bangkok's biggest doughnut franchises and only their simplest glazed ring offerings. Will the legendary Krispy Kreme keep its crown as the best glazed doughnut in the city (and, dare we say, the world)?
The buzz: Remember the crazy three-hour queues that this much-hyped US doughnut chain summoned when it first landed in Bangkok nearly a decade ago? The wait time may have died down, but our love for their original glazed doughnut remains fiery as ever.
The taste: Unanimously a winner in terms of flavor, look and smell. The dough hits that airy-yet-doughy sweet spot, coated in a smooth, even layer of glaze that melts in your mouth. Yes, it's devilishly sweet, but it creeps up in a seductively mellow way rather than smacking you round the head.
Verdict: Kreme reigns supreme.
The price: B29
The buzz: This pink-and-orange American chain has been a fixture in Thailand since as far back as we can remember, and remains as popular as ever—possibly thanks to strategic positioning in BTS stations citywide.
The taste: Simply put, this doughnut tastes cheap in every element: the airy dough comes with a strong yeasty smell and funky old oil taste, while the craggy glaze did nothing to help with its overwhelming sweetness.
Verdict: Airball.
The price: B19
The buzz: This Georgia-hailing franchise opened its first location outside of Atlanta (and third branch overall) right here in Bangkok's Siam Square a few years back. Now, it pumps out its signature "homemade"-style doughnuts in its new Fortune Town home.
The taste: If you're someone who loves bread, this doughnut is probably your best choice thanks to its dense, doughy and slightly chewy texture. Its cloyingly sweet icing is an indicator of the sugary treat that awaits you—it's so thick that you're almost afraid to finish the whole thing.
Verdict: Straight-up sugar.
The price: B29
The buzz: Another long-hauler from the US whose pocket-friendly goodies seep into just about every neighborhood in town.
The taste: This one almost reminded us of Chinese patongo, with a surprisingly bland taste despite its thin layer of runny, sticky icing. This is the kind of doughnut you could enjoy with coffee, though it's probably not worth the added calories. That said, it still tastes far better than Dunkin's.
Verdict: Calorie counting.
The price: B19
The buzz: Thailand's homegrown doughnut chain claims its dough has zero trans fat thanks to its use of honey and apple juice as sweeteners. The price point is similar to that of Dunkin' Donuts and Mister Donut, and the shop also serves savory pies.
The taste: Lightweight, soft and perfectly chewy, just nicely sweetened with a touch of saltiness to even the whole thing out.
Verdict: Balanced parenting.
The price: B28

I am a big believer of DIY. Unless you are one of the few lucky ones with an unlimited budget, DIY could save you a bundle. Not all DIY projects are created equal. Some are more demanding in terms of skills, time commitment, and timing/logistic. For example, you can't prepare all 20 of your fresh floral centerpieces a week ahead of time. As you master the skill of creating your own Calla Lily bouquet, here is another video on DIY boutonnieres. With easy to follow instructions and simple techniques, these homemade boutonnieres will be done in a jiffy the day before your wedding.

Mykonos, the Queen of Cyclades
Along with the island of Santorini, Mykonos is the most known Greek island in the world, recognizable by anyone living almost in every corner of the earth. This iconic, famous Greek island is way ahead of the game of tourism, flooded with tourists every year for more than half a century. Join us on this trip to Mykonos, and find out why this small island is so dearly loved.
For those not familiar with the geography of Greece, Mykonos is located almost in the middle of the Aegean Sea. It belongs to the island complex of the Cyclades, close to the islands of Naxos and Tinos. Mykonos was the first Greek island that was touristically developed since the end of 1950's, and nowadays stands as the flagship of Greek tourism, known for its luxury facilities, as a world-celebrity island retreat, and a party island, attracting people from every corner of the globe. Except for highly private resorts, luxury seaside apartments, and bustling nightlife, Mykonos has so much to offer by being one of the most beautiful and historical Greek islands with a history of thousands of years.
Choose a beach on Mykonos

With more than 89 km of coastline, Mykonos has an abundance of beaches for you to choose from. There is literally every option available on the island from long-stretched sandy beaches to small pebbled secluded coves that offer you the wild side of the island. Close to the Chora of Mykonos, most of the beaches accessible are fully organised with beach facilities and provide anything you can actually think of. Just decide how you want to relax and enjoy for instance delicious cocktails in classy beach bars, spa resorts right next to the sea, clubbing with the beach as your dancefloor or family-friendly establishments with sunbeds and a calm environment for you and your family. For those that seek a more adventurous option, Mykonos offers literally every known water sport and many more, such as snorkelling or scuba-diving. From the sandy, party beach of Super Paradise and popular Psarrou to the secluded beaches of Merchia and Fokos, Mykonos can easily please everyone.
What to see on Mykonos
The Windmills of Chora - credits: tvxs.gr
While on the island, you can choose one of the following options to get to know Mykonos and dig a little deeper to the island's history and cultural heritage. First, you have to have a walk around the beautiful streets and alleys of Mykonos' town, known as Chora. Do not miss the chance to wander around the old port of Mykonos and explore the area of Kastro. There you can see the ruins of the medieval castle's walls, marvel at the beautiful church of Panagia Paraportiani and enjoy the sunset right next to the sea. Follow the small road following the shoreline and find yourselves on the terrace of the Windmills, one of the most iconic attractions of the island. Spend some time on the beach and take as many pictures as possible with "Little Venice", a row of typical Mykonian houses built right next to the water with their balconies hanging over the port of the island. Visit the archaeological museum of Mykonos and check from up close a spectacular collection of antiquities coming from Mykonos and the nearby islands of Delos and Rhenia. Stroll among statues of gods and goddess, priceless ancient vases and many more, along with a stunning exhibition of ancient jewels. Do not forget to visit the Folklore Museum in Kastro district and have a taste of Cycladic tradition.
If you choose to explore the villages of the island, Ano Meria is a must-see destination. By being the largest village of Mykonos after Chora, Ano Meria offers you a different side of the island, less crowded with a more relaxed vibe. While there, do not miss the chance to visit the monastery of Panagia Tourliani, a medieval monastery of the 16th century that played an important role in Mykonos' history. Check out the all-marble facade of the church of the monastery and admire the golden-gilded templon, the wall which separates the church from the holy altar.
Perhaps the best spot for you to catch the sunset though is the Lighthouse of Armenistis, located at the northern part of the island. It will take you about 20 minutes to get there by car, but the view of the Aegean Sea and the picturesque building of the lighthouse, guarantee a memorable experience.
Sail to Delos

If you are planning to spend some time on Mykonos, a must-do excursion is a day-trip to the sacred island of Delos. Few kilometres away from the shores of Mykonos, Delos is a small uninhabited island but with an enormous significance for ancient Greek history. According to the Greek mythology, this is the birthplace of the divine twins, Apollo and Artemis, the very place where Leto found refuge from the wrath of Hera, the Queen of the Gods. The visit on Delos is almost like a spiritual experience. The island, along with the neighbouring Rhenia, is almost totally uninhabited, operating as open museums. Both belonging to the UNESCO World Heritage Sites network, you will need at least three hours to explore the birthplace of Apollo properly. With ruins dating from the 16th century BC up until Roman times filling a huge area of the island, the level of preservation regarding the antiquities and the natural beauty of the island will definitely enchant you. Do not miss to see the ancient theatre, the temple of Isis, the terrace of the Lions, and the house of Cleopatra. Walk on actual ancient streets and discover a new surprise in literally every corner! Save some time to visit the Archaeological Museum of Delos, one of the most impressive museums of the Cyclades region.
From party-hard options to secluded beaches perfect for a calm retreat, medieval ruins to Aegean Pompeii, Mykonos rightly remains the most popular destination for those that want to experience Greek summer. Do not waste more time and plan your own trip to the island of the Winds or check out one of our Greece tours.
