Fitness Exercises
There are various Physical Fitness Exercises that you can choose from. You can try Resistance Training to help create a lean and toned body, Aerobic Exercises to elevate your heart rate over a sustainable period of time, and Stretching to extend your limbs and muscles to their full extent. This section provides you every thing you need to know about the different Fitness Exercises. Learn about them here thoroughly, including body weight exercises.
Stretching Exercises
Neck & Shoulder Stretches
It's important to maintain good flexibility on your neck and muscles since these are where most people accumulate tension. This section contains instructions on how to stretch your neck and shoulder muscles properly to avoid accumulation of tension.
Chest & Arm Stretches
The chest, like the neck, is also a common area for tension build-up. Instructions on how to do the Basic Chest and Arm Stretches that can help prevent muscle tension in the chest and upper back can be found in this section.
Back Stretches
The back takes in tension more than any other part of the body. It is necessary to stretch the back properly after exercise. This section contains instructions on how to do the basic back stretches. Read here for more information.
Leg Stretches
Another part of your body that you need to stretch is your legs. Instructions on how to do the basic leg stretches which target the major leg muscles like the hip flexor (often the most neglected leg muscle) can be found in this section.
Stretching Sequences
This section will provide you with the suggested sequential stretches to have a good and relaxing stretch. When your body becomes accustomed to a particular stretch, you can increase the duration time of each exercise to lengthen a particular stretch.
Resistance Exercises (Training with Free Weights)
Arm or Biceps Curl
You can do this Free Weights curl while sitting on a bench or using a barbell. For beginners, light dumbbells are the free weights exercises for you. Each variation you perform strengthens the biceps and the muscles of the forearm in a slightly different way.
Triceps Curl
You can do this Free Weights Exercise with one weight in each hand or with a heavier weight held in both hands. Your free hand may be used to steady the arm being exercised. This will provide for a stricter movement. Read here for more information.
Forward Arm Raise
This Free Weights Exercise strengthens your shoulders. Whether you prefer working with free weights, fitness weights on gym machines or just with your own body weight, the important thing to do is to start realistically and keep at it – at all cost.
Lateral Raise
This Free Weights Exercise strengthens the shoulders, especially the deltoids. This type of Free Weights exercise is single joint. Lateral Raise strengthens the muscles on your shoulders, especially the deltoids. It can be performed while standing or sitting.
Bench Press
You can also do this Free Weights Exercise with a barbell. This is called a "chest press" when you do it lying on your back instead of on a bench. A bench press gives you a greater range of motion than a chest press. This Free Weight Exercise strengthens the shoulders, triceps, and pectorals.
This Free Weights Exercise strengthens the chest. Although you also can do this exercise lying on a mat or on the floor, you won't get as much range of motion when you're lying on a bench. Include this exercise into your fitness routine.
Walking Lunges
The Walking Lunge is a variation of the Lunge. This exercise enables you to strengthen your muscles more – your hamstrings, gluteals, and quadriceps.
Dumbbell Squats
The Squats come in many variations. One of them is the Dumbbell Squat. This exercise obviously makes use of dumbbells as you do the Squat. Learn how this exercise is done in this section.
Upper Back Exercises
Building a wide back is every bodybuilder's dream. This is often termed as one of the most difficult areas to train by bodybuilders due to non-visibility. In this section, learn different exercises which target your upper back.
Exercises for Rotator Cuff Muscles
There are four rotator cuff muscles that need to be considered to help strengthen and stabilize the rotator cuff at the shoulder. Find out which exercises can help strengthen your shoulder muscles.
Resistance Exercises (Training with Your Own Body Weight)
Basic Crunch
Although there are many abdominal exercises, crunches really work if you want to firm and tone your abdominal muscles. One of the most effective is the "basic crunch". You need to keep the movement slow and to focus on good technique for the crunches to be effective.
Reverse Curl
This variation of abdominal crunch targets the lower part of the abdominal section and puts less strain on the neck area. Learn how to do the Reverse Curl in this section.
Full Crunch
The Full Crunch is the most advanced abdominal exercise. It works the entire stomach area by combining the basic crunch and the reverse curl. Learn how to do the Full Crunch in this section.
The Lunge can give you wonderfully toned inner thighs and buttocks. When you perform lunges, keep your back straight, your torso upright, and your abdominals tight. Don't lean forward and let your knee pass forward your big toe in the middle position.
Basic Push-ups
This type of resistance exercise works your upper body. For women, using push-up grips will be easier on your wrists. The push-up is possibly the most classic of all strength-training exercises. This is an important exercise that you can incorporate in your fitness routine.
Rear Leg Lifts
The Rear Leg Lifts concentrate on your hamstrings and gluteals. This Resistance Exercise makes use of your own body weight to create resistance. If you do this properly and regularly, you will eventually be able to perform advanced versions of it.
This Resistance Exercise concentrates work on your thighs and buttocks. Squats also work your lower leg muscles, abdominals and lower back since they are used for balance. This fitness exercise is also a tried-and-true lower-body exercise for anyone without knee problems.
Triceps Dips
This type of Resistance Exercise makes use of your own body instead of iron to create resistance. Fitness Exercises that involve lifting your own body weight help improve your posture and strengthen and protect your skeletal system.
Low Bridge with Leg Raise
The Low Bridge with Leg Raise is an exercise that targets the hamstrings and the abdominal muscles. It makes use of your own body weight to create resistance. Learn how to do this exercise with the help of our animation and easy-to-follow steps.
Fitness Ball Hamstring Curl
The Fitness Ball Hamstring Curl is a leg exercise that targets the hamstrings, as well as the glutes and core. The use of a Fitness Ball or Stability Ball will aid in improving stability, strength, and balance.
Stability Ball Exercises
Learn how to progress in your core strength – from beginner to advanced movements – by doing different exercises on the stability ball.
Core Exercise Ball Workout
A Core Exercise Ball Workout is great not only for strengthening the core of the body, but also in improving your balance and posture for sports and day to day activities.
Oblique Exercises for a Trim Waist
This oblique exercise sequence based on Pilates mat work can really trim your waistline. Check out the great exercises in this section and get started today.
Learn the different Physical Fitness Exercises thoroughly, and you will know what kind of Fitness Exercise best suits you. All Physical Exercises provide benefits to your health and well-being. You just have to pick an exercise or training that suits your lifestyle and needs.

All types of fitness exercises are essential.You can't neglect any of them whether it is related to arms,legs or back.

I'm looking for some suggestions on possible exercises I can do for my…"unique" situation.
For medical reasons, I can't do any kind of bouncing, jumping or head-contact sports (tennis, basketball, etc.). So that rules out the really good weight loss exercises like jogging or running. I also have asthma to make things even funner.
I try to walk about a mile a day and I'd love to start lifting weights but I live in an apartment so there's no room for any exercise equipment. My job (I work from home running my own business) involves sitting at a computer all day.
I do have a Wii Fit which I used quite a bit until I got to the point where the exercises were a bit boring and monotonous (I so wish you could put your own music to the step aerobics!).
So that's where I am. I think if I could build more muscle and up my activity, I'd be in much better shape. I do go line dancing once a week for about 2-3 hours at a time with short breaks in between and I LOVE it. I'd dance in my apartment but the carpet doesn't make it very easy to turn

Jacob and Esau
"Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated." Romans 9:13
Suggested Further Reading: Ezekiel 33:11-20
My soul revolts at the idea of a doctrine that lays the blood of man's soul at God's door. I cannot conceive how any human mind, at least any Christian mind, can hold any such blasphemy as that. I delight to preach this blessed truth—salvation of God, from first to last—the Alpha and the Omega; but when I come to preach damnation, I say, damnation is of man, not of God; and if you perish, at your own hands must your blood be required. There is another passage. At the last great day, when all the world shall come before Jesus to be judged, have you noticed, when the righteous go on the right side, Jesus says, "Come, ye blessed of my Father,"—("of my Father," mark,)—"inherit the kingdom prepared"—(mark the next word)—"for you, from before the foundation of the world." What does he say to those on the left? "Depart, ye cursed." He does not say, "ye cursed of my Father," but, "ye cursed." And what else does he say? "into everlasting fire, prepared"—(not for you, but)—"for the devil and his angels." Do you see how it is guarded. Here is the salvation side of the question. It is all of God. "Come, ye blessed of my Father." It is a kingdom prepared for them. There you have election, free grace in all its length and breadth. But, on the other hand, you have nothing said about the Father—nothing about that at all. "Depart, ye cursed." Even the flames are said not to be prepared for sinners, but for the devil and his angels. There is no language that I can possibly conceive that could more forcibly express this idea, supposing it to be the mind of the Holy Spirit, that the glory should be to God, and that the blame should be laid at man's door.
For meditation: For meditation: The love of God towards a sinful Jacob should surprise us more than the hatred of God towards a sinful Esau.

Cross-Connection Program/Backflow Prevention
The city expends great effort to protect the public water supply from the possibility of contamination or pollution while it flows through the distribution system. It is possible for contamination or pollution to enter the system when a water supply line is connected to equipment containing a non-potable (unfit to drink) substance. These connections, called cross-connections, whether they are permanent or temporary would be dangerous if no protective measures were taken. Back-flow preventers are designed to keep contamination or pollution from entering the distribution system.

RSP2RMF (Mar94) ftools.caltools RSP2RMF (Mar94) NAME rsp2rmf -- converts old-style (SF) format response matrices to OGIP FITS format USAGE rsp2rmf rspfil rmffil DESCRIPTION rsp2rmf reads i/p data from an old-stle (SF) format response matrix (used by XSPEC versions <8.2), and writes an o/p FITS data file in OGIP standard format (able to be read by XSPEC versions >8.2). Users are urged to switch to using XSPEC with FITS files as soon as possible. A detailed description of the o/p FITS file format is given in George etal (1992 Legacy, 2, 51), and in the OGIP Calibration Memos CAL/GEN/92-002 & CAL/GEN/92-002a available via the OGIP anonymous ftp account on legacy.gsfc.nasa.gov (in Postscript) as caldb/docs/memos/cal_gen_92_002.ps & cal_gen_92_002a.ps respectively. In brief, the data is written in the form of 2 BINTABLE extensions, containing: (1) the redistribution matrix (with EXTNAME = SPECRESP MATRIX) (2) the nominal energies of the channel boundaries (with EXTNAME = EBOUNDS) The data contained in Extension (1) above is in a compressed format whereby only elements for which the value of the redistribution matrix above a given threshold are stored. This provides a significant reduction in disk-storage requirements for sparsely populated matrices. The default threshold is read from the i/p file, but can be altered via the hidden parameters gregrp and threshold parameters. Users are reminded that the threshold is defined in absolute units (NOT relative to the value of the maximum value in the matrix). A further reduction in disk-storage space requirements can often be achieved by the use a variable-length array for the BINTABLE column containing the matrix. In such a case, the number of elements within this column varies between different rows of the BINTABLE. The current version of rsp2rmf will automatically write a variable-length array if a saving of greater than a factor 3 in storage space is indeed achieved. SUPPORTED FITS FILE FORMATS Currently only the following OGIP standards are supported by this task (via the parameter rmfversn): For the RSP_MATRIX extension: HDUCLAS1/HDUVERS1= 'RESPONSE'/'1.0.0' HDUCLAS2/HDUVERS2= 'RSP_MATRIX'/'1.0.1' (commonly also known as "RMFVERSN=1992a") For the EBOUNDS extension: HDUCLAS1/HDUVERS1= 'RESPONSE'/'1.0.0' HDUCLAS2/HDUVERS2= 'EBOUNDS'/'1.0.1' For further details see OGIP Calibration Memo CAL/GEN/92-002a. WARNINGS ON USAGE The current version of this task assumes that the matrix elements of the input SF file have already been multipled by the total effective area of the focussing/collimating optics, filters & detector efficiency (since this is the case for all RSP files currently available within the OGIP). Thus the redistribution matrix extension has the keyword HDUCLAS3= 'FULL'. This value of HDUCLAS3 is however incorrect in cases where the redistribution matrix alone is stored, and hence the values of the HDUCLAS3 keyword of the output file should be changed appropriately (see calibration memo OGIP/92-002a) Users are reminded that the EBOUNDS extension contains only the nominal energies associated with each PHA/PI channel. Extreme care should be exercised if these are to be used by downstream software (see George etal 1992 Legacy, 2, 51, section 3.2). The OGIP-supplied spectral fitting package, XSPEC, only uses the data within this extension for plotting purposes. The facility to override the deconvolution of the mission and instrument strings derived from the corresponding string supplied in the SF file is often useful since the strings required to specify for which mission, instrument, detector and/or filter the dataset is valid in the case of the output FITS file are often very different to those used in the SF file. Specifically, the SF RSP files often contain non-OGIP-standard strings, and/or insufficient information. A list of OGIP-standard strings can be found in the OGIP Memos OGIP/93-013 available via the OGIP anonymous ftp account on legacy.gsfc.nasa.gov (in Postscript) as caldb/docs/memos/ogip_93_013.ps. The current version of the task only performs a rather crude deconvolution. In order to handle the biggest matrices, this task employs a number of relatively large internal arrays. These arrays are dynamically allocated, but problems can arise at execution if the local machine runs out of swap space. When this occurs, often an appropriate system error message will be displayed or the program may simply crash. Under these circumstances users will have to free up space by closing unwanted applications (windows, tasks etc). Under unix/ultrix, the total used/available swap space on the local machine can be listed (in kbytes) using the command 'pstat -T'. The largest matrix able to be handled by the current version of this task is 4096 channels by 2048 energies (requiring 35 Mbytes of swap space). Due to dynamic memory allocation, the swap space requirements of most matrices are dramatically smaller. PARAMETERS rspfil [character string] The name of the old-style (SF) RSP file to be converted to OGIP-standard FITS format. rmffil [character string] The name of the OGIP-standard FITS file to be created (origin = 'UNKNOWN') [character string] The name of the organization and/or author running the task. The default value is ORIGIN=UNKNOWN. (chatter = 9) [integer] Flag to indicate how chatty the task is at execution. A value of 9 is the default, with lower/higher values producing quieter/verbose output respectively. (qregrp = no) [boolean] Logical as to whether the matrix read in from the RSP file is to be truncated at a higher threshold, or simply written out to the FITS file with the current threshold. The default is QREGRP=N. threshold [real] New threshold at which the matrix is to be truncated (only required if QREGRP=Y) (qcif = no) [boolean] Logical as to whether the CIF keywords are to be added to the FITS file. The default is QCIF=N. NOTE: NO ALTERNATIVES ARE CURRENTLY ALLOWED (rmfversn = '1.1.0') [charcter string] The OGIP FITS format version for response matrices in which the o/p FITS is to be writen. The default is RMFVERSN=1.1.0 (previously known as '1992a'), and is currently to only format allowed. (qrmfcomm = no) [boolean] Logical indicating whether comments are to be added to the RMF extension from a previously prepared ASCII i/p file. The default is QRMFCOMM=N. NOTE: NO ALTERNATIVES ARE CURRENTLY ALLOWED (qebdcomm = no) [boolean] Logical indicating whether comments are to be added to the EBOUNDS extension from a previously prepared ASCII i/p file. The default is QEBDCOMM=N. NOTE: NO ALTERNATIVES ARE CURRENTLY ALLOWED (qoverride= no) [boolean] Logical indicating whether the user wishes to override the deconvolution of the mission and instrument strings derived from the corresponding string supplied in the RSP file. This is often necessary since the task only performs a rather crude deconvolution itself and since the RSP file often contains non-OGIP-standard strings, and/or insufficient information. The default is QOVERRIDE=N telescop [character string] The user-supplied string for the telescope name, required if QOVERRIDE=Y instrume [character string] The user-supplied string for the instrument name, required if QOVERRIDE=Y detnam [character string] The user-supplied string for the sub-instrument name, required if QOVERRIDE=Y. DETNAM=NONE should be used if the specification of a sub-instrument is unneccessary. filter [character string] The user-supplied string for the name of any moveable filter in use, required if QOVERRIDE=Y. FILTER=NONE should be used if on such moveable filter is in use. (clobber = false) [boolean] Flag specifying whether or not a pre-existing file with the same name as that requested as the output file from this task will be overwritten.

Images of what are claimed to be iPad 3 components have surfaced online, showing few changes from the current iPad 2 design.
The MIC Gadget blog has published photographs of what are claimed to be the front glass panel and rear shell of the next-generation iPad, as well as a video featuring the components (below).
There are also photographs of the Home button - which some had speculated would be missing from the iPad 3 when Apple's official invitations were sent out - adding weight to separate reports from last week that the Home button would still be present.
MIC Gadget says that the iPad 3 will come in three capacities - 16GB, 32GB and 64GB - despite reports from Taiwan last week that only mentioned the 16GB and 32GB models. Interestingly, the report claims that the prices will be the same as the current iPad 2 prices, and there will be no 4G/LTE capabilities.
Meanwhile, a report in Ars Technica claims that devices running iOS 6.0 have been visiting its website, logging on from within a block of IP addresses known to belong to Apple.
The data also shows that a device with a resolution of 2048 x 1536, which is the expected resolution of the iPad 3's retina display, has also been visiting the website. However, as Ars Technica has since clarified, the device with the 2048 x 1536 resolution isn't necessarily running iOS 6.
Apple Insider has noted that Apple is decorating San Francisco's Yerba Buena Center for the Arts with a large, colourful banner in preparation for Wednesday's event.

"A Different Kind of Poverty": Folk Rock and Therapeutic Counterculture
Taylor, Lily Gibbs (Lily Gibbs Taylor) (Author), (Joel Pfister) (Thesis advisor)
Here I investigate the historical confluence of therapeutic culture, counterculture, and folk rock in late-1960s and 70s America. The Old Left communists of the 1930s popularized folk music as a political genre protesting systemic inequality. Then in the early-1960s, the New Left revived folksongs to protest racial inequality and the Vietnam War, among other causes. By the late 60s, though, some folk artists made interiority their hip "protest." As many folksingers transitioned to folk rock, American culture was becoming more therapeutic, and folk rock artists like James Taylor, Joni Mitchell, and Jackson Browne, started writing lyrics preoccupied with interior pain—"inner poverty"—more than economic poverty. Treating the early albums of Taylor, Mitchell, and Browne as ideologically rich texts for cultural and literary studies, I examine the way that folk rock promoted—and sometimes self-reflexively critiqued—therapeutic perspectives that are associated with a political stance, but that also helped consumers evade external social, economic, and political issues. These singer-songwriters use images of the road and nature to evoke—and at times question—therapeutic individualism and ostensible anti-consumerism. In addition they romanticize love and music as therapeutic opportunities to express compensatory "depth," but they also scrutinize the mass-commercialization of love and music. Their lyrics offer insights into the Woodstock to Watergate forms and operations of "soft capitalism.", 2016, Old URL: https://wesscholar.wesleyan.edu/etd_hon_theses/1536, In Copyright – Non-Commercial Use Permitted (InC-NC)

"A Revolution Is not a Dinner Party": Revolutionary Songs in People's Daily During Cultural Revolution China
Li, Merry (Merry Li) (Author), (Su Zheng) (Thesis advisor)
This thesis studies the relationship between revolutionary songs during the Chinese Cultural Revolution and their political context, specifically through the examination of the songs' original publication in People's Daily, one of the biggest Party newspapers during the ten years (1966-1976) of Cultural Revolution. It reveals the close correlation between a publication of revolutionary songs and the political events and needs surrounding the time of that publication. Revolutionary song were able to spread the political messages through lyrics efficiently and effectively, thanks to their entertainment element. In addition to lyrics, the musicality and performances of these revolutionary songs contribute to their effectiveness as propaganda tools. This thesis contributes to the existing literature on the Cultural Revolution by supplementing a crucial piece of information on this populist art form, which have often been casually dismissed in previous studies., 2015, Old URL: https://wesscholar.wesleyan.edu/etd_hon_theses/1504, In Copyright – Non-Commercial Use Permitted (InC-NC)

MOVIE REVIEW- Armless and dangerous: <i>127 Hours </i>harrowing, compulsively watchable
Sometimes a person will make an enormous mistake and get a lot of time to think about it. There was a man who went over Niagara Falls sealed inside a big rubber ball. It never made it to the bottom. The ball lodged somewhere on the way down. He'd counted on his team to cut him out at the bottom. Oops! Aron Ralston, the hero of 127 Hours, had an Oops! moment. That's even what he calls it. He went hiking in the wilderness without telling anyone where he was going, and then, in a deep, narrow crevice, got his forearm trapped between a boulder and the canyon wall. Oops.
We all heard about this. Ralston stumbled out to safety more than five days later, having cut off his own right arm to escape. He is an upbeat and resilient person and has returned to rock climbing, although now, I trust, after filing a plan, going with a companion, and not leaving his Swiss Army knife behind. The knife would have been ever so much more convenient than his multipurpose tool. I imagine that every time he considers his missing right forearm, he feels that under the circumstances he's better off without it.... [full review]

Curiosity Rover Report (Sept. 19, 2013): Leave the Driving to Autonav
Transcript:Hi, I'm Mark Maimone, rover planner and mobility engineer on the Mars Science Laboratory mission.
I'm here with the Curiosity engineering model at JPL's Mars yard, and this is your Curiosity rover report.
Out here in the Mars yard is where we developed the software that Curiosity will use to drive autonomously.
We can test all kinds of situations out here. We can put rocks in its way and big holes and watch what happens and see how it responds to different terrain situations.
For the past year, Curiosity has been driving on Mars following instructions from human rover planners. But now, we have a new capability that's coming on line something that will let Curiosity drive herself on Mars. This is called "Autonomous navigation.
Humans are still in the loop. We're going to tell her where to go. Curiosity is going to decide how to get there.
Curiosity takes pictures from the navigation cameras, with the hazard cameras, and it's able to combine that information, put it all together to define a safe way to get to where we ask her to go.
And that capability is going to let us drive much farther than before,
This is an animation showing Curiosity's first autonomous drive on Mars. The drive lasted about 10 meters and you can see in the animation that she turned her camera this way and that to look at what's ahead of her.
And you can also see, she didn't just go in a straight line. She actually curved a little bit to the right to avoid some of the small rocks that were directly in front of her.
Another part of the autonomous navigation capability is using visual odometry. Visual odometry uses images from the mast cameras to look at the terrain before and after a small drive step.
Curosity will see a few hundred features and see how they move across the step. And by tracking those features she can know exactly how far she moved, whether she slipped or twisted a little bit during the drive.
And with that knowledge, the knowledge of where Curiosity is and the knowledge of what the terrain looks like, we get really strong information to drive safely into areas no human has seen before at enough resolution to know that its safe.
And now you can see the actual speed that Curiosity moves on Mars. It's only about 2 inches per second. Kind of slow but it gets where it's going and have enough power to climb over any obstacles in its way.
And this is a look at a real autonomous drive in JPL's Mars yard. We don't need to do this kind of testing everyday, but we still come out here as we're writing new software.
So for the next few months we're looking forward to putting the pedal to the metal and heading toward Mount Sharp; maybe stopping a few times along the way for some science observations.
This has been your curiosity rover update. Please come back for more reports

In Their Own Words
"If you've hit the wall on a music project and you feel tapped out, that's a perfect time to pick up your pen and write some prose, even a stream of consciousness, to free you up. When words start to flow, so does the music."
"Teaching in Berklee's dynamic community gives me inspiration and numerous examples to show the symbiosis of liberal arts and musical study. The world doesn't categorize artistry into Music and Liberal Arts departments, business concentrations or professional studies, and neither do my courses. Writing skills and literature enhance a musician's ability to communicate with power and confidence. In Urban Sociology, I encourage my students to take off their iPods, look around, and tune into the sounds of city life to understand how we are connected to one another even as strangers. The city yields constant inspiration for song and story. I emphasize 'open' listening: stepping back from the quick retort and becoming mindful of the other's point of view. Musicians who read and write well and keep up on events beyond the music world will enjoy a distinct advantage in their professions."
"As an editor and student advisor of FUSION magazine, I experience another facet of Berklee creativity. This new online magazine showcases the most amazing written works and art forms from our community. In spite of crazy-busy schedules and practicing routines, many students and faculty find the time to write essays, plays, fiction, and poetry. When we sit around that editing table, munching pizza and discussing the latest submissions for the next FUSION feature, I look at this terrific collaboration of young musicians/writers in the making and say to myself, 'It doesn't get much better than this!'"

Arriving to free flowing glasses of Moët champagne and cocktails of Passionfruit & Mint Mojito and Sangria are possibly a common sight for the celebrities and Emirates frequent flyer customers of this invite only event. An onslaught of delicious cold canapés included
melt-in-your-mouth Cherry Tomato, Fresh Basil & Mahon Empanadilla, platters of Freshly Shucked Sydney Rock Oysters and excellent quality Cooked King Prawns all deveined and ready to eat. I found the Smoked Cured Beef maybe a little dry on the almond wafer and the Chilled Almond Soup Muscat Grapes a little too unusual but rejoiced in the tasty Tarta of Figs, Manchego, Honey & Toasted Walnuts. Hot canapés included bite sized Snapper & Red Capsicum Croquettes and Dill Crumbed White Anchovy both cooked to a commendable crispness from the makeshift kitchen out back. Seared Sea Scallops with Fennel & Chilli were a good explosion of flavours and the BBQ Chicken Skewers were decently sized, tender and flavoursome.
Substantial dishes started with a tender Slow Cooked Roast Smoked Paprika Lamb Shoulder bursting with good flavour and Fresh King Crab Salad with a nice citrus zing in the dressing. I found the Coyne Bay Barramundi with Hot Garlic Sauce & Chilli Dressing lacked flavour for some reason but it was nicely presented. The Traditional Potato Tortilla was also presented well with some interesting ingredients — the addition of mint worked well for me. The charismatic Chef Miguel Maestre was in charge of the Classic Spanish Paella. Cries for desserts were heard around the marquee which were satisfied by the petit Cinnamon Dusted Churros cooked to a nice outer crispness while retaining some softness within. A decent heat kick was noticed in the Spiced Dark Mousse with Honey Comb & Strawberry Wafers possessing rich flavours. The Santiago Almond & Red Currant Tarts were an absolute winner served warm and topped with decadent lemon cream. Individual Baked Caramel Delight with Orange Caramel Syrup were silky smooth and satisfied the sugar lovers amongst the crowd.
The final stage of canapés appropriately named 'The Soak' consisted of small tender pieces of Calamari Fritos cooked with a light crisp batter. Veal Meat Balls were fairly good but I preferred the Party Steak & Mushroom Pies and Sausage rolls to satisfy my primal food urges. I missed out on seeing any of the Wild Mushroom & San Simon Croquettes and apparently the seven Tapas dishes were only served to those who sat at the white linen tables so I unfortunately didn't see any of these. Live entertainment of flamenco dancers certainly kept the crowd entertained between races and the prevailing wet weather. Finishing at around 5.30 pm the heavens thankfully eased a bit for the countless number of race day attendees lining up for taxis and the free bus service for those heading back to Central Station.

Jimmy Jean-Louis is known for his "Heroes" role as The Haitian – but now, the Haiti-born actor is making a passionate real-life plea for help for his home country.
"As you must know, Haiti's been hit by a big catastrophe – a major earthquake. 7.0," he stated in a video posted to YouTube. "I've been trying to reach my family for the whole day. Can't get in touch with my mom, dad, cousins, uncles and friends."
The star then asked for the public's assistance in bringing relief to the nation.
"Haiti is a poor country – and we cannot cope with such a situation. Haiti needs help. We need the basics, water, cans, clothing. So however you can help would be really good for the country," he said.
Jimmy joins a number of stars, including Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and rock band Coldplay, who have raised their voices in support of Haiti.
People interested in the assistance efforts can make a donation via the Red Cross or Jimmy's own organization, the Hollywood Unites for Haiti Relief Fund.

Emission Spectra Measured with a Microspectrophotometer
The Microspectrophotometer measures the UV-visible-NIR, PL and Raman spectra of microscopic samples.
Microspectrophotometers measure the UV-visible-NIR spectra of microscopic samples or microscopic areas of larger objects. There are two basic types: the fully integrated microspectrophotometer (as shown) that has been built and optimized for spectrophotometry. There is also the spectrophotometer unit designed to attach to a photoport on an optical microscope. Depending upon the configuration, both are capable of measuring the spectra of microscopic samples by transmission, absorption, reflectance, photoluminescence, fluorescence and polarization spectrophotometry. With special software, both are capable of film thickness, mapping measurements and micro-colorimetry as well.
A CRAIC Technologies™ microspectrophotometer is a purpose-built system that allows UV-visible-NIR range microspectrophotometry both non-destructively and with no sample contact. Capable of analyzing even sub-micron areas, they are also capable of high resolution digital imaging. Designed for ease-of-use, they are durable instruments designed for microscale spectroscopy.

It's time for Waxing Off, the Deadspin feature that will go topless if you throw it beads. This Friday's topic: Sports pranks.
So people seem to be pretty split on Maryland fans calling Duke players at their hotel room to harass them. Some people seem to think since in theory anything that harasses a Duke player/fan/coach/student is a good thing seem to support it. Others seem to think it was a poorly executed prank because not every harassing phone call was funny and many seemed about the level of a 12 year old. I'd like to remind everyone that we're talking about a bunch of college students. I'm guessing mostly guys, so a 12 year old's sense of humor is not that far off. A lot of the students were busy making their best Scheyerfaces and I assume drinking since that's what college kids do.
I'm generally a fan of sophomoric, obnoxious humor, so I appreciated the Maryland v. Duke pranks. It was more about harassment anyway. But for all those Terp haters out there I thought I'd share a harmless prank from a couple years ago at Maryland. Some idiot drove a truck through one of the curved walls that stand where you enter main campus. Apparently since the brick walls are curved, it's expensive to fix, so the university hangs a banner over the gaping hole for a while with a picture of our beloved Testudo breaking through the wall. However, some students decide this broken wall could be put to better use. So one night they go out, steal the banner and erect something much better in its place:
Whatever, I think it's funny.
— Meghan no longer approves of pranks, harmless or not, since applying for the Bar. She blogs at Girls Don't Know Sports.
Absence Of Alice:
It's hard out there for a Cardinals' fan, but I had finally managed to block out the pain and soothe the crying of my inner child following the tragic events of Feb. 1, 2009. My co-workers, however, do not seem interested in my continuing mental health. Imagine my horror when I arrived at work last Monday to find this: My beloved Rock 'Em, Sock 'Em toy robots, arranged in a manner unbefitting the Super Bowl mission statement, or even common decency. In case you're wondering, yes, both originally were red. And rest assured that I will not rest until I find out who did this. You have ripped open a wound and poked it with a stick, cruel anonymous workmate. Happy now? Happy now?
Unlike the game itself, it doesn't look like Cardinals robot put up much of a fight. As for the little diorama below, I don't know what the hell is going on there, except that my Blockhead Gumby — another toy that I keep on my desk — is somehow involved in attempting to tackle Jesus. You've got to wrap, Blockhead Gumby!
You've got to hand it to Him, our Lord and Savior knows how to move the chains.
— Absence of Alice works in the health care profession, is still a Cardinals fan, and asks if you would please stay away from her desk.
Cameron Frye:
The only prank I was ever a part of was during my senior year of college. We wanted to give our school's exiting VP, with whom we constantly butted heads (and who had the personality of stomach cancer), a proper goodbye. Now I went to a small all-women's college that goes by the nickname Pine Mattress, and the campus was in the middle of a posh residential area. The local police department was quite familiar with us and were called all the time for noise complaints by our nouveau riche neighbors.
So after throwing some ideas around, one of the maintenance guys (who was dating a girl in my dorm) informed us one of our security guards (male) stripped on the side for cash. Gave him a ring and booked one of his friends to show up at a party we were attending the next day. Oh did I mention the party was the annual Faculty & Staff cocktail party they threw for the seniors the night before graduation?
The snooze-fest started and the entertainment arrived an hour later. We snuck his Krush Groove boom box in and waited for his cue. He entered the room and oddly enough, he looked official. He confronted her, saying there was a noise complaint, and just acted like a complete dick to her — we watched her trying to stay calm and then watched him handcuff her to a chair. The look on her face when she figured out what was going on was worth the amount I spent on tuition that year. There's something about watching a woman dying from embarrassment and trying to rip off the arm of a chair so she can get loose and away from the cock that's rubbing against her cheek, that'll always make me laugh. The professors thought it was hysterical and gave the handful of us who planned it pats on the back. The next day at commencement she didn't look at any of us when she handed us our diplomas, which could explain why my name on it is spelled wrong.

I've been pranked before. And I'm still a little ticked about it.
Apparently not everyone in my office (located smack in the heart of Mets territory) takes kindly to the fact that there's a Phillies fan working among them. Especially when said Phillies fan decorates her desk with all sorts of Phillies paraphernalia: newspaper clippings of articles from last year's postseason, photos of me meeting some of my favorite ballplayers (I get entirely too giddy whenever people point to the picture of Cole Hamels and me and ask if he's my boyfriend), and a variety of Phillies pennants. My cube is a red-and-white version of heaven … for me, at least. To the Mets fans, they probably think they've reached baseball hell every time they walk by my desk.
Amazingly, the Phillies stuff in my cube was left alone throughout the 2008 playoffs. The Mets fans were probably too busy running home to sit in front of their TVs, hoping that they'd get to see the Dodgers and then the Rays kick the crap outta my Phillies; after that didn't happen, they were probably too busy drowning their sorrows in booze to notice that my cube was becoming increasingly Phillie-fied.
Once they sobered up, though, they noticed. Right around Christmastime, I came into work one morning to find my Phillie-fied cube with a hole in the wall. No, not an actual hole-but a hole in the decorations. Something was missing. Something like my Cole Hamels pennant. Somebody STOLE my fucking Hamels pennant.
And it was clearly some bitter, angry Mets fan who did it. Who else would want to swipe my pennant? There are no other Phillies fans in my building. Nobody would want it to hang on their own wall. They might want it for their dartboard, though. Or to light on fire in an angry, bitter, my-shitty-Mets-choke-every-goddamn-season-lately sort of rage.
I've since taken all my other Phillies pennants down from my cube walls and hung them at home (where they're safe) and gotten myself a replacement Hamels pennant. And I'm trying to not be too bitter about it. Because yeah, I got pranked — but hopefully, the only joke that really matters will be on the Mets and their fans at the end of this season when, for the third year in a row, they'll be reciting the tired old words "There's always next year…"
— When NIKKI isn't making smartass comments about the Mets, she's busy writing snarky stuff over at Red Pen Inc.

Jon Henschen, president of Henschen & Associates, a broker-dealer recruiting firm, likens the torrent of regulatory changes the industry has seen recently to "having a cut on your finger, and they're cutting your arm off to repair it."
Henschen has more than 20 years in the industry, and his insights into the independent broker-dealer channel have been published by no less an authority than Bloomberg, The Wall Street Journal and (full disclosure) Investment Advisor.
While the Dodd-Frank Act's effect was largely felt by wirehouses and big banks, the independent channel hasn't escaped increased bureaucracy that, Henschen says, is "grinding down the business." For example, "the 'know your customer' rule allows broker-dealers to take a risk-based approach to implementing new suitability factors, but it's doubtful that broker-dealers and regulators will see eye to eye on how the changes are to be implemented or documented, how firms endeavor to educate their advisors," he says.
Henschen anticipates an increase in "frivolous lawsuits" as a result of regulatory changes. "I had one chief compliance officer that characterized the new changes as 'unreasonable, unrealistic and virtually unenforceable,'" he recalls. "Of most concern to the CCO was the added liability the new requirements presented to registered reps and BDs, like when, for example, a customer files a false complaint in an attempt to recoup market losses. This rule will be a boon to claimants' lawyers and will simplify their jobs tenfold."
Prior to FINRA, Henschen said, audit exam teams tended to be staffed with individuals who had worked for many years in the industry. "Today, we see exam teams staffed by twenty-somethings who have never seen a back office until their first assignment. They're hostile, they're paranoid and they seem eager to take their first industry scalp," he says.
This new breed, Henschen says, actually seems disappointed if they don't find the violations they're expecting. Henschen related a broker-dealer's experience with an auditor who had no prior securities business experience and had only two weeks' training before conducting the audit. "The quality of preparation and training given to people conducting broker-dealer audits has fallen off a cliff. It's a world of difference, and we hear this repeatedly," he says.
Broker-dealers are afraid to speak up, Henschen says, because if they do "they get their head lopped off, and they become the enemy." Now, FINRA is being a dictator and threatening. "The firms are supervised in regions; there are six different regions and each region seems to have their own pet peeve," Henschen says. "I can talk to a few broker-dealers in one region and they're under the wire for not hiring reps with credit and bankruptcy problems, and if they do they're basically threatened by FINRA that they're going to make their life difficult and they're going to be under the microscope."
It's been a change for the worse at many levels, Henschen admits, but he's quick to point to firms like the Financial Services Institute which are "out there fighting the fight. They're basically doing now what the wirehouses have been doing for many years, which is spending a lot of money to influence Washington," Henschen says. "On a macro view, what that really is, is crony capitalism. Instead of the free markets dictating who the winners and losers will be in the industry, those who spend the most money will. The independent channel is joining that team. Without spending, they're at the mercy of regulators."
Being with a broker-dealer that'll dodge the continuing problems with alternative investments will be a challenge advisors have to contend with in the near term. "We continue to see things coming out," Henschen says, referring to problems with various types of alternative investments. "Decaying REITs and other problematic alternative investments could come out of the woodwork. That's been a problem for the past couple of years and apparently isn't going to stop."
Another difficulty advisors can expect to face is adapting to new regulations and how fiduciary rules affect them. Henschen believes the fiduciary issue will affect wirehouses more than the independent channel, but altogether, it's about surviving regulators. "One of the worst damages of increased regulations is they're driving smaller firms out of business," he says. "The emphasis more and more is on compliance supervision. Big firms can afford to do that. Smaller firms can't afford it as much, especially firms under 100 reps. They hurt the little guy."

Just saw there is a snow fair in Denver January 26-29 2017 and Nobile is one of the exhibitors.
Are there more kite brands attending?
Interest is never the issue- it seems like time is what I am always short on. The trip is a bit of a tactical strike so unfortunately I'm not going to traveling much further west. Where is Snow Mesa? I'd love to get in a winter worthy rig and hit up some new (for me) spots. I know Dillon hasn't really been on yet this season, but I think recently it has started to click. We are hoping to get snow industry and media from the SIA show to check out snow kiting to see what it is all about.ScottN wrote:I'd be up for a Snow Mesa fest with lots of Ozone kites to try. I would be glad to get the kites and skiers up to the top with my sleds! Good chance for Matt to try a foil again!! And have some of the western Colorado kiters to meet the Ozone rep.
Any interest??

NIB to remove hurdles for large infra projects: Chidambaram
The government is proposing to set up a National Investment Board (NIB) to monitor and advise ministries on expediting projects entailing investments of more than Rs.1,000 crore, Finance Minister P. Chidambaram said Friday.
Replying to questions in the Lok Sabha, Chidambaram said the NIB would be an equivalent to a Cabinet Committee on Investments and it would be headed by the Prime Minister.
He said there were over 100 projects, each involving investment of Rs.1,000 crore or more, that have been delayed for various reasons.
"Our problem is not conceptualising projects. Our problem lies in getting numerous clearances and getting the projects off the ground within a reasonable time," he said.
"The NIB will monitor projects, advise ministries and help ministries concerned take a decision," he added.
Chidambaram said similar arrangements were in place in countries like Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand.
He clarified that the proposed board will not be in any way a substitute to the existing Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB).
Chidambaram said a cabinet note on the NIB has been circulated and a decision on it was yet to be taken.
Chidambaram's statement came a day after he made a similar statement though a written reply in the Rajya Sabha.
It said, "A proposal is under consideration for constitution of a cabinet committee with Prime Minister as the chairman to expedite decisions on approvals/clearances for implementation of projects. It is expected that the government would take an early decision on the proposal."
Earlier in October, Environment Minister Jayanthi Natarajan had said that her ministry had some reservations on the NIB.
Chidambaram said views of various ministries, including the ministry of environment and forests was mentioned in the draft cabinet note.
"The environment ministry has raised some concerns which have been added to the cabinet note. The cabinet's decision will be final," he said.
The green ministry has been held responsible by the industry and many other ministries like coal and highways for delaying infrastructure projects, hampering the country's economic growth. - IANS

This adorable bracelet is unsigned, and when I have it checked out, I found out that it was actually handmade thanks to the solder spots at the back. It is adorned with varying colors of Swarovski rhinestones that are rather rare. When I first got it from a seller in Ukraine, it had so many missing rhinestones from the eyes and bodies. I could not find the exact colors to match it with, but I eventually managed to fix it. This bracelet happens to be my "happy bracelet" - one look at it puts a huge smile on my face. The foil cabochons were a nice touch to this charming bracelet, but my favorite part is the centerpiece; it looks like two frogs are playing in a clear pond!

Namco Bandai have released a new trailer and two short gameplay videos for God Eater 2.
At least it looks like a game that would run on VITA's native res (game looks very sharp).
I hope the polish the lipsynching for a better feel on the production value.
I'm confused why have we only seen the same battle over and over again. Is this game just a battle arena styled thing?

SEATTLE (AP) — Washington state plans to install within weeks a temporary fix for an interstate highway bridge that crumpled after being hit by a truck, tossing cars and people into a chilly river but causing only minor injuries.
Gov. Jay Inslee announced Sunday that the temporary spans for the Interstate 5 bridge will be installed across the Skagit River by around mid-June, if plans go well.
Barges with equipment to remove the mangled bridge and cars in the water arrived at the site and work was expected to start during the early hours Monday, the state Department of Transportation said.
Sunday's announcement came as investigators used 3D laser scans to study what remained of the collapsed bridge.
It also came a day after the chairwoman of the National Transportation Safety Board called Thursday night's collapse a wake-up call to the state of safety of the nation's infrastructure.
The Washington state collapse, caused by the truck carrying an oversize load, fractured one of the major trade and travel corridors on the West Coast. The interstate connects Washington state with Canada, which is about an hour north of Mount Vernon, where the bridge buckled.
After the collapse, semi-trucks, travel buses and cars clogged local bridges as traffic was diverted through the small cities around the bridge. But overall, traffic was flowing as well as expected during the holiday weekend.
"We're going to get this project done as fast as humanly possible," Inslee, a Democrat, said Sunday. "There are no more important issue right now to the economy of the state of Washington than getting this bridge up and running."
Inslee said he hopes the temporary spans, each with two lanes for northbound and southbound traffic, will be finished in about three weeks' time. The spans will be pre-built and trucked to Mount Vernon.
The state plan also calls for a permanent span to be built and competed by autumn, officials said.
Officials say there are remaining inspections to the spans left standing to make sure they are safe to use.
The federal government is expected to cover 100 percent of the costs of the temporary bridge and 90 percent the replacement, said state Transportation Secretary Lynn Peterson.
The temporary span would be able to carry regular-sized cargos as well as cars. The speed limit would be lower than the 60 miles per hour allowed previously.
The three people were thrown in the water by the crash and survived with non-life threatening injuries.
An investigation by The Associated Press suggests similar accidents could happen elsewhere. Thousands of bridges around the U.S. are kept standing by engineering design, rather than sheer size or redundant protections. Such spans may be one freak accident or mistake away from collapse.
Bridge regulators call them "fracture critical" bridges, because if a single, vital component is compromised, they can crumple.
NTSB Chairwoman Debbie Hersman said such bridges and other kinds of bridges around the nation should be looked at.
"The wake-up call is really to focus on how important our infrastructure is to our nation, certainly for our commerce and keeping communities vibrant and connected," she said Sunday, adding that when important decisions are made about infrastructure, safety should have "a seat at the table."
Hersman said on Sunday said the bridge had withstood other over height collisions with vehicles in the past, with the most recent reported collision happening last October. She said evidence of other collisions can be seen in the spans still standing over the water.
Hersman also said a second truck with a similar cargo was traveling behind the truck involved in the collision. She said investigators are inspecting that cargo and truck to take measurements. The truck involved in the collision has also been moved off the highway on-ramp where it has been parked since Thursday.
Hersman also said investigators have traveled to Alberta, Canada to inspect the trucking company's records.
The NTSB head also said that if the truck had been on the left lane of the southbound lanes, it likely would have cleared the bridge without a collision, but added that more precise measurements need to be taken. The bridge's height clearance varies across it.
"We know the company was required to establish that they could clear the entire route," Hersman said.
The truck's cargo from Canada was headed to Alaska. Its plan was to load the cargo onto a barge in Vancouver, Wash., about 275 miles south of the border crossing. Hersman said she didn't know why the plan called to use a port a couple of hundred miles away from other ports.
