We're obviously not worried about the career trajectory of Bryan Cranston following the end of Breaking Bad, but Aaron Paul's future is a little more up in the air. Today the trailer for his film Need for Speed came out and, well, it's not good. (Need for Speed could have been an alternate title for Breaking Bad, if you think about it.) Here the man who would be Jesse Pinkman is a super serious street racer out for revenge. A pretty girl! A moody voiceover! Fast cars! Cars on fire! Remind you of something? Drive perhaps? It's probably not that good. The Fast and the Furious franchise, maybe? That's what this movie looks like, okay? Also, it's based on a video game. Good luck with the rest of your life, Mr. Paul.
Still, don't exactly rule Paul out yet. He's got a part on Ridley Scott's big epic Exodus and has a Nick Hornby adaptation due out. Meanwhile, Cranston is playing Dalton Trumbo and doing more How I Met Your Mother.

Big things are happening at the intersection of Green + Sports. Last week, as reported in GreenSportsBlog, Barack Obama became the first US president to publicly speak about the greening of sports on the first Green Sports Day. But President Obama wasn't the only global mega-leader to engage on the issue. Last Wednesday in Vatican City, Pope Francis opened Sport at the Service of Humanity, a 3-day conference about the power of faith and sport. Environmental issues were prominently featured on the agenda. In addition, from the "New, Green-Sports Product" world, an affordable, collapsible, recyclable bicycle helmet may become reality. And finally, GreenSportsBlog fave Leilani Münter became the first American driver in the all-Tesla Electric GT Championship. Yes, today we have a particularly newsy News & Notes column.
Green-Sports leading light Allen Hershkowitz, President Emeritus of the Green Sports Alliance and co-founder of Green Sports International, the National Hockey League's Pat LaFontaine and Omar Mitchell—responsible for NHL Green—and Pope Francis were among the luminaries from the faith, corporate, NGO and academic worlds who attended the first Sport at the Service of Humanity conference at The Vatican that ran from October 5 to 7. The Pope gave the opening address.

According to Hershkowitz, the ability of sports to positively impact environmental issues, including climate change, was given prominence at the conference along with the "power of sport to improve the lives of refugees and the disabled…Gender equity and LGBT issues also were front and center."
To my mind, this is as it should be. Addressing ecological pressures and improving the living conditions of refugees and the disabled are topics that should lead the agenda of a Vatican-run conference. And the speed with which this pope has moved forward on gender equity and LGBT issues is stunning. That the environment/climate change was "in the room" with these massive global issues is a big deal. And yet, it's not a surprising deal, considering Pope Francis' widely praised, climate change-focused 2015 encyclical Laudato Si and the solar panels that top roofs of many Vatican buildings.
And, with apologies to FDR, Green-Sports' inclusion was a new deal. "The theme of the conference was 'What Problems Can Sports Help to Solve?' The thing is, many of the stakeholders I talked to had never engaged on environmental issues, so the idea of sports solving environmental problems was completely new to them," said Hershkowitz. Once briefed, leaders from organizations like the YMCA and the Olympic Committee of Jordan "quickly saw how sports could help generate meaningful action on CO2 reduction, on deforestation, on plastic waste."
Hershkowitz expects new collaborations and programs to stem from Sport at the Service of Humanity but cautions that progress necessarily will be made up of many "little things that add up to big results."
New product innovation at the intersection of Green + Sports is going strong in 2016, particularly when it comes to cycling. In July, GreenSportsBlog featured the Free Electric Hybrid Bike that powers a home for 24 hours with only one hour of pedaling. A few months earlier, we highlighted the Bike Washing Machine—yes, you will be able to do the laundry while pedaling if this product, now working its way through the development cycle, courtesy of a group of students in China, gets to market.
Now, we bring you the EcoHelmet, an affordable, collapsible, biodegradable helmet from innovative industrial designer Isis Shiffer. As detailed in a September 30 story from Mindy Weisberger in Live Science, EcoHelmet is "made entirely of cardboard, folds up accordion-style to about the size of a banana and is compact enough to fit in a laptop bag. It unfolds to fit just like a traditional helmet, cushioning the wearer's head with honeycomb-patterned paper that absorbs and distributes impacts, protecting cyclists from injury."

EcoHelmet was one of 20 new product designs—out of more than 1,000 submissions—selected by the James Dyson Foundation selected for the 2016 James Dyson Award Engineers Shortlist. The contest's International Winner will be selected from this list on October 27.
EcoHelmet caught my eye for three reasons:
- The recyclability aspect of EcoHelmet connects with the GreenSportsBlogger in me: It is made of lightweight and recyclable paper honeycomb. Its lightness does not diminish its ability to absorb impacts: per Wesisberger, "paper honeycomb is used in packaging for helicopter drops in crisis zones."
- EcoHelmet's collapsible nature jazzes the urban cyclist in me. The advent of bike sharing (another great, cycling-related, green-sports innovation—more cycling miles ridden should mean less vehicle miles driven) in many cities, including New York has led to an increase, at least based on my own, admittedly unscientific eye test of cyclists in Central Park, of un-helmeted riders. This drives me nuts: I have had two serious falls but was spared lasting head/brain injury because I was wearing a helmet. Being able to collapse one's helmet into a briefcase is a significant feature. "For a helmet to work in a bike-share arena, it has to be able to fold up and be reused," Shiffer told Weisberger.
- The product's affordability—it is projected that EcoHelmet will be able to be sold for $5 each—is a key selling point.
GreenSportsBlog fave Leilani Münter makes her third appearance on our pages this year (click here and here for the first two) with the announcement that the "eco, vegan, hippie chick with a race car" is joining the fledgling Electric GT (EGT) racing series. Münter becomes EGT's first American and second female driver.
EGT's inaugural season, which kicks off early next year, will feature a fleet of modified rear-wheel drive Tesla Model S P85+ vehicles. As compared to the 3-year old Formula E series, which uses open wheel vehicles, EGT is the first racing series dedicated to production run electric cars. The The Tesla Model S 85 kWh battery pack is significantly larger than Formula E's 28 kWh version. Thus, a Model S-based race car will 1) stay on the track much longer and 2) generate higher speeds than a Formula E car.
Münter has a strong history with Tesla: she drives a Model S at home in Charlotte, NC and she appeared with Tesla co-founder and CEO Elon Musk in the Emmy-nominated documentary Racing Extinction, drawing attention to the human impact on climate change and mass extinction of wildlife. EGT is banking on both Münter's driving skills and her charismatic evangelism on the climate change fight and vegan lifestyle to help build awareness.

Fans can watch EGT live via Periscope, Twitch, YouTube and other social media outlets. Each event will consist of a 20-minute practice session, 30 minutes of qualifying, a 37-mile (60km) daytime race and a 37-mile race at dusk. The races will be the centerpiece of a weekend-long festival of sustainable technology and innovation.

SEOUL, March 30 (Korea Bizwire) – Samsung Electronics Co. showcased its new Galaxy S8 series Thursday with a new, sleek design and cutting-edge features not seen in its predecessors such as the Bixby voice assistant.
The company's new flagship, powered by Google Android 7.0 Nougat, will be released in two versions that make use of the premium glass and metal form factor with one sporting a 5.8-inch screen and the other a bigger 6.2-inch panel.
Both boast double-edged Super AMOLED screens that give the illusion of having no bezels. This is a departure from the Galaxy S7 smartphones that came in flat screen or curved edge versions.
Samsung sought to make the Galaxy S8 series "bezel-less," allowing the "Infinity Display" to take up 80 percent of the front of the device, providing users with a very immersive experience.
"The Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus usher in a new era of smartphone design and fantastic new services, opening up new ways to experience the world," said Koh Dong-jin, president of Samsung's mobile communications business.
Compared to the Galaxy S7, the Galaxy S8 series is slightly taller yet actually slimmer.
Samsung also made the screen much bigger by removing the home button from the front that in the past acted as a fingerprint scanner. Instead, the fingerprint sensor has been relocated to the back.
The home button will still exist in the front, but it will be invisible, being activated by sensing a user's finger pressure.
Industry watchers said the update came as a rising number of users enjoy gaming and video content on their smartphones.
Apparently for safety reasons, Samsung refrained from expanding battery capacity, with the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus shipping with non-removable 3,000 mAh and 3,500 mAh batteries, respectively. Samsung had to halt production and recall the ill-fated Galaxy Note 7 phablet due to some units catching fire while being recharged. The company admitted that faulty batteries were behind the problem. The Note 7 had a 3,500 mAh battery.
In regards to the camera, which is a key selling point for many manufacturers, the S8 is not different from its immediate predecessor by boasting 12-megapixel and 8-megapixel lenses on the back and front. Samsung, however, said that the image quality of the picture the camera can take has been improved, with the main camera sensor having a very fast f1.7 aperture.
The tech giant said its cameras guarantee brighter and clearer photos by improving the image-processing algorithm.
Samsung also placed an iris scanner on the new flagship, a unique and popular feature on the Galaxy Note 7, and even opted for a face recognition system for an added measure of security and convenience.
Through the iris scanner, users can log on to websites or make financial transactions.
Among the cutting-edge features incorporated into the new flagship, the artificial intelligence (AI) system called Bixby is a new addition that could give the phones a similar or better user experience compared with rivals like Apple Inc.'s Siri voice recognition system.
Last week, Samsung said it plans to use its Bixby AI in all of its future high-end products, including TVs and other home appliances.
The company said Bixby is a new intelligent interface which will be "fundamentally different from other voice agents and assistants on the market." The company said its AI system will be ahead of rivals in terms of "completeness," "context awareness" and "cognitive tolerance."
As for the application processor, the Galaxy S8 series will boast Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 835 for units sold in the United States. The models that will be sold in South Korea and some other global markets will come with Samsung's own Exynos 8895 chipset that has similar performance.
Industry sources, however, said Samsung could face hurdles in securing sufficient chips for its latest Galaxy smartphones, as the production of the Snapdragon 835 and Exynos 8895 are falling behind market expectations.
Samsung plans to kick off official sales in South Korea and the United States, as well as other major countries, on April 21.
The devices will come in black, gray, silver, blue, and gold color variants.
The Galaxy S8 comes with a regular earphone jack made by AKG, a premium brand of Harman International Industries Inc. Samsung completed acquisition of the U.S. firm earlier this month.
The earphone jack is expected to permit the S8 to dodge the flak directed against Apple for opting for wireless earbuds in its latest smartphones.

Evolution Is Subject of New ProgramsSeptember 12, 2005 | by Megan Fellman
The theory that all organisms have descended from common ancestors has stirred passionate debate, discussion and research, especially since 1859 when Charles Darwin published his groundbreaking book, "The Origin of Species," in which he proposed a mechanism for evolution.
Recognizing that faculty and students across a range of disciplines share interests in the origin of the universe and life's diversity, Northwestern University has established the Interdisciplinary Committee on Evolutionary Processes (ICEP) to bring these scholars together.
Through quarterly seminars and monthly colloquia, ICEP will foster collaborative projects and provide a forum for faculty, students and other individuals to discuss recent research in evolutionary science. In addition, a minor in the study of evolutionary processes will be available to all undergraduates, beginning this academic year.
"Scientists use the term 'theory' in a different way than the general population," said Teresa Horton, director of ICEP and associate professor of neurobiology and physiology. "The word is commonly used to indicate a wild guess. For scientists, a theory, such as the theory of evolution, is an explanation of a natural phenomenon that is based on a large body of knowledge. The explanation has been tested rigorously, is strongly supported by evidence and is well accepted. Learning about the specific mechanisms of evolution can be approached from many perspectives, however, and we want to facilitate the sharing of these rich ideas."
The quarterly seminars will be delivered by nationally and internationally known scholars in accessible language to a campus-wide audience. The more informal monthly colloquia on research results or a topic of interest will be conducted by faculty from the University or a collaborating Chicago-area institution, such as the Chicago Botanic Garden or Field Museum of Natural History. The first colloquium will be held Oct. 12 on the evolution of developmental biology.
Students who elect the minor will take a series of four required courses to provide a common foundation of basic science, population genetics and paleontology. They will then select four elective courses ranging from courses in astronomy (early universe cosmology) to zoology (comparative anatomy). At least one elective course must contain a significant field component or be a collections-based course offered at either the Chicago Botanic Garden or the Field Museum.
ICEP grew out of the Evolution Discussion Group, which formed seven years ago when Horton, Gary Galbreath, associate director of the Program in Biological Sciences (PBS), William Leonard, professor of anthropology, and Bradley Sageman, professor of geological sciences, began to meet because of their common interests in evolution. For administrative purposes, ICEP will be housed within PBS.
For additional information, contact Teresa Horton at (847) 467-2686 firstname.lastname@example.com.

WASHINGTON — Inside the government, some officials called her "Wayward Storm."
Her real name was Monica Elfriede Witt, an exemplary Air Force counterintelligence agent who had studied Farsi and carried out covert missions in Iraq, Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
But by mid-2013, Ms. Witt had become disillusioned with the government — why, exactly, remains a mystery — and had left the military. Thoughts of betrayal consumed her, federal prosecutors now say, until she finally acted on them at the Iranian Embassy in Kabul, where they say she "told all."
"They are going to get back to me on if they can help me very soon before I leave," Ms. Witt wrote on June 30, 2013, to an Iranian-American reporter working on behalf of the Iranian intelligence services, according to a criminal indictment.
That indictment was made public on Wednesday as the Justice Department accused Ms. Witt, 39, of defecting to Iran in August 2013 to work with Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in betrayal of the United States.
Ms. Witt has been charged with two counts of espionage and other crimes for what prosecutors said was her help to the Iranian government with spearfishing attempts that targeted her former colleagues. Investigators also said she provided the Iranians with secret details about American intelligence operations. She is believed to still be in Iran.
Ms. Witt's case is among several in recent years in which prosecutors say a foreign country, particularly China, has tried to recruit former American military or intelligence officials.
"The case unsealed today underscores the dangers to our intelligence professionals and the lengths our adversaries will go to identify them, expose them, target them, and, in a few rare cases, ultimately turn them against the nation they swore to protect," John C. Demers, the head of the national security division of the Justice Department, said in a statement.
The authorities did not say whether Ms. Witt caused any damage to American intelligence operations, but any programs she gained access to while in the Air Force would probably have been considered compromised. She also worked closely with the F.B.I. on counterintelligence matters, and she knew the identities of Iranian informants whom the American intelligence agencies were using.
Ms. Witt was born in El Paso. She entered the Air Force in 1997 as part of the Office of Special Investigations, which conducts counterintelligence inquiries in the United States and overseas. She studied Farsi at the Defense Language Institute in Monterey, Calif., and went on to focus on collecting the intercepted communications of foreign adversaries.
She left active duty with the Air Force in 2008 but spent another two years working as a contractor. She helped manage the same highly classified program involving informants working against Iran.
A person familiar with her case said she had grown disgruntled while working for the Air Force and at some point had become enamored with Persian culture and converted to Islam. In early 2012, she traveled to Iran to attend a conference called Hollywoodism. Prosecutors said the conference is sponsored by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, an elite Iranian paramilitary force, and is intended to promote anti-American propaganda.
While at the conference, she agreed to appear in at least one video in which she was identified as a veteran and made statements that were critical of the United States. The videos were broadcast by Iranian news outlets.
After her return to the United States, the F.B.I. paid a visit to Ms. Witt, the indictment said, and delivered a warning: Iranian intelligence services were trying to recruit her. She told the F.B.I. agents she would never reveal the work she did for the Air Force.
The Iranians continued to target Ms. Witt, according to the indictment. In June 2012, an American-Iranian journalist, Marzieh Hashemi, came to the United States and hired Ms. Witt to work on an anti-American film.
In 2013, Ms. Witt traveled to Iran again for a Hollywoodism conference and met with members of the Revolutionary Guard and expressed views critical of the United States. She also stated her desire to immigrate to Iran, prosecutors said.
The indictment said she communicated frequently with Ms. Hashemi, who is identified as "Individual A." She told Ms. Hashemi the work she had done for the Air Force was "evil." She also talked about exposing a secret program and "do like Snowden," a reference to Edward J. Snowden, a former National Security Agency contractor who stole sensitive documents and gave them to journalists.
Ms. Witt eventually traveled to Afghanistan to teach English, and while there made contact with the Iranians. But she became frustrated when the Iranians treated her with suspicion. She talked about going to Russia where Mr. Snowden was living.
"I think I can slip into Russia quietly if they help me and then I can contact wikileaks from there without disclosing my location," she wrote to Ms. Hashemi.
Apparently the Iranians became alarmed and moved quickly to make sure that did not happen, giving her money to travel to Iran. "They are giving me money to head to Dubai," she said in a message to Ms. Hashemi. "I will wait to get the approval; there and get it from the embassy in Dubai. They are so kind … even taking me to the airport."
Ms. Witt appears to have been in Tajikistan when she wrote the email.
Prosecutors described how Ms. Witt sent Ms. Hashemi an email in August 2013 titled: "My Bio and Job History." It included her discharge papers from the military. Ms. Hashemi forwarded them to an email address associated with Iran.
Prosecutors accused Ms. Witt of defecting to Iran that month and working with the Revolutionary Guard to betray her country. The paramilitary group is known to carry out assassinations and cyberattacks around the world and has been penalized by the United States government.
When she arrived in Iran, officials provided her with housing and computer equipment. Prosecutors said that she searched Facebook accounts for Americans and created "target packages" for Iran against American counterintelligence officials.
In late 2014, prosecutors said, Iranians working on behalf of the Revolutionary Guard began targeting Ms. Witt's former colleagues using a fake Yahoo email address and Facebook account. Prosecutors said the Iranians tried to put malware on the computers of the Americans to capture their keystrokes, gain access to web cameras and monitor their activity.
A former senior administration official said that Ms. Witt was also involved in the questioning by Iran of 10 American sailors who were captured in 2016 patrolling in Iranian waters. The sailors were released after about 15 hours.
Former officials said that Ms. Witt maintained a low profile as the criminal case against her moved forward, with a grand jury in Washington recently interviewing at least one witness: Ms. Hashemi, the journalist. Ms. Hashemi was born as Melanie Franklin in Louisiana and moved to Iran more than a decade ago after converting to Islam. She is now a prominent reporter for Iran's English-language Press TV.
Ms. Hashemi was arrested in St. Louis while on a trip to the United States to visit relatives and brought to Washington. Officials later disclosed she was a material witness in an unspecified criminal case, the details of which were closely held until Wednesday. She was later released.

When I had Jake I was given a beautiful crochet baby blanket which was made by the mum of a friend, it is a much treasured possession still now and was what made me want to learn to crochet.
With the arrival of my niece I had my first opportunity to make my own gifts. I couldn't decide on one so I made a small granny square with ribbon
A simple square with a solid dark purple and a paler multi colour yarn for the made body, decorated with a pretty border and some purple ribbon.
The second blanket I made was larger and I used a video tutorial of the RavelryRavelry Elizabeth Ham corner to corner Granny Stripe.
I used black and white for the main body of the blanket as babies focus well on these bold stripes and to link it to the smaller blanket I used the same dark purple yarn and made a pretty border.
It's quite large so will last her into toddler age and beyond! My two boys now want one each!

Saint Kateri, or Catherine, Tekakwitha was the daughter of a Christian Native American Algonquin woman who was captured by members of the Iroquois tribe. She was also married to a non-Christian Mohawk chief. She was orphaned at the age of four, during a smallpox epidemic - and that is why she is the patron of those who have lost her parents.
She survived smallpox, but was left with a scarred face and impaired eyesight. Kateri was converted and baptized in 1676 by Jesuit missionary, Father Jacques de Lambertville. Her relatives abused and exiled her because of her new faith, but this did not change her mind or sway her strength of conviction.
Three years later she escaped to the Christian Native American village of Sault-Sainte-Marie after surviving a grueling journey of 200 miles of wilderness. She then made vow of chastity.
Known for spirituality, miracles and her austere lifestyle, Kateri's grave became a pilgrimage site and place of miracles for Christian Native Americans and French colonists. She is the first Native American Indian to have been proposed for canonization as a saint.

Kung Fu Movies
Above is a selection of my favorite Kung fu Movies, many of which i use to watch as a kid.
Most of you who know me will know I've always been into kung fu movies.
I can remember my uncle bringing a batch home when i was young and watching them late night one after the other.
Even though some of these were made before my time, I totally loved them, many a time trying out the moves I had learned, on friends and family.
I guess you either love it or you don't.
My favorite actor of this genre would have to be Jackie Chan and Bruce lee.
Jackie Chan
In 1976, Jackie Chan received a telegram from Willie Chan, a film producer in the Hong Kong film industry who had been impressed with Jackie's stunt work. Willie Chan offered him an acting role in a film directed by Lo Wei. Lo had seen Chan's performance in the John Woo film Hand of Death (1976) and planned to model him after Bruce Lee with the film New Fist of Fury.[11] His stage name was changed to Sing Lung (Chinese: 成龍, also transcribed as Cheng Long,[17] literally "become the dragon") to emphasise his similarity to Bruce Lee, whose stage name meant "Little Dragon" in Chinese. The film was unsuccessful because Chan was not accustomed to Lee's martial arts style. Despite the film's failure, Lo Wei continued producing films with similar themes, but with little improvement at the box office.[18]
Chan's first major breakthrough was the 1978 film Snake in the Eagle's Shadow, shot while he was loaned to Seasonal Film Corporation under a two-picture deal.[19] Director Yuen Woo-ping allowed Chan complete freedom over his stunt work. The film established the comedic kung fu genre, and proved refreshing to the Hong Kong audience.[20] Chan then starred in Drunken Master, which finally propelled him to mainstream success.[21]
Upon Chan's return to Lo Wei's studio, Lo tried to replicate the comedic approach of Drunken Master, producing Half a Loaf of Kung Fu and Spiritual Kung Fu.[16] He also gave Chan the opportunity to co-direct The Fearless Hyena with Kenneth Tsang. When Willie Chan left the company, he advised Jackie to decide for himself whether or not to stay with Lo Wei. During the shooting of Fearless Hyena Part II, Chan broke his contract and joined Golden Harvest, prompting Lo to blackmail Chan with triads, blaming Willie for his star's departure. The dispute was resolved with the help of fellow actor and director Jimmy Wang Yu, allowing Chan to stay with Golden Harvest.[19]
Bruce Lee
In late 1972, Lee began work on his fourth Golden Harvest Film, Game of Death. He began filming some scenes including his fight sequence with 7 ft 2 in (218 cm) American Basketball star Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, a former student. Production was stopped when Warner Brothers offered Lee the opportunity to star in Enter the Dragon, the first film to be produced jointly by Golden Harvest and Warner Bros. Filming commenced in Hong Kong in February 1973. One month into the filming, another production company, Starseas Motion Pictures, promoted Bruce Lee as a leading actor in Fist of Unicorn, although he had merely agreed to choreograph the fight sequences in the film as a favour to his long-time friend Unicorn Chan. Lee planned to sue the production company, but retained his friendship with Chan.[59] However, only a few months after the completion of Enter the Dragon, and six days before its July 26, 1973 release,[60] Lee died. Enter the Dragon would go on to become one of the year's highest grossing films and cement Lee as a martial arts legend. It was made for US$850,000 in 1973 (equivalent to $4 million adjusted for inflation as of 2007).[61] To date, Enter the Dragon has grossed over $200 million worldwide.[62] The film sparked a brief fad in martial arts, epitomised in songs such as "Kung Fu Fighting" and TV shows like Kung Fu.
Robert Clouse, the director of Enter the Dragon and Golden Harvest revived Lee's unfinished film Game of Death. Lee had shot over 100 minutes of footage, including out-takes, for Game of Death before shooting was stopped to allow him to work on Enter the Dragon. In addition to Abdul-Jabbar, George Lazenby, Hapkido master Ji Han-Jae and another of Lee's students, Dan Inosanto, were also to appear in the film, which was to culminate in Lee's character, Hai Tien (clad in the now-famous yellow track suit) taking on a series of different challengers on each floor as they make their way through a five-level pagoda. In a controversial move, Robert Clouse finished the film using a look-alike and archive footage of Lee from his other films with a new storyline and cast, which was released in 1978. However, the cobbled-together film contained only fifteen minutes of actual footage of Lee (he had printed many unsuccessful takes)[63] while the rest had a Lee look-alike, Kim Tai Chung, and Yuen Biao as stunt double. The unused footage Lee had filmed was recovered 22 years later and included in the documentary Bruce Lee: A Warrior's Journey.[64]
Apart from Game of Death, other future film projects were planned to feature Lee at the time. In 1972, after the success of The Big Boss and Fist of Fury, a third film was planned by Raymond Chow at Golden Harvest to be directed by Lo Wei, titled Yellow-Faced Tiger. However, at the time, Lee decided to direct and produce his own script for Way of the Dragon instead. Although Lee had formed a production company with Raymond Chow, a period film was also planned from September–November 1973 with the competing Shaw Brothers Studio, to be directed by either Chor Yuen or Cheng Kang, and written by Yi Kang and Chang Cheh, titled The Seven Sons of the Jade Dragon.[65] Lee had also worked on several scripts himself. A tape containing a recording of Lee narrating the basic storyline to a film tentatively titled Southern Fist/Northern Leg exists, showing some similarities with the canned script for The Silent Flute (Circle of Iron).[66] Another script had the title Green Bamboo Warrior, set in San Francisco, planned to co-star Bolo Yeung and to be produced by Andrew Vajna who later went on to produce First Blood.[59] Photo shoot costume tests were also organized for some of these planned film projects.

This is reasonably straightforward with Regexp::Common, though you do have to "roll-your-own" a little:
Note that I've assumed that, in the edge case where the target is unnested (e.g. 'F' in the above example), the extraction should just return target itself.
Also note the standard regexish "left-most-longest-match" behaviour when the target appears more than once (as do targets 'A' and 'B' in the example).

Summary: The placebo effect is a positive effect on an illness or medical condition, or on a health-related outcome, that results from suggestion and expectation. This subtle psychological effect occurs whether or not the underlying treatment actually works and it is strong enough to continually distort medical studies into the effectiveness of health products and can make products seem effective when they're not. The placebo effect is particularly significant in areas such as pain relief and stress, and is therefore best at overcoming aches and pains, headaches, stress-related conditions including recovery from stomach ulcers and skin rashes. Most complementary and alternative medicines (CAM) and alternative therapies work through indirect psychological effects, and the placebo effect is the reason why these remedies appear to work for so many people, when in reality they don't have any medical effect and its effects can often support erroneous ideas as to how disease works, and how healing works.
How does it work? (1) There is a link between mood and mental states of mind, and between mood and our immune system, meaning, that our overall impressions of a treatment can affect our outlook, which can boost our immune system. (2) When it comes to pain, the prefrontal cortex of the brain can suppress pain messages from the insula and other places, meaning that if we prime ourselves to feel less pain (such as when expecting a pill to work) then it really does dull pain. Many experiments have confirmed the ability of people to mentally control pain. (3) Classical conditioning means that many elements of merely receiving a treatment cause our brain to release neurotransmitters and other learned responses in anticipation of feeling better, which improves how we feel. (4) The Hawthorne Effect - people tend to live healthier and perform better simply because they are being studied. (5) Receiving treatment can boost confidence and reduce stress, both of which can improve healing and feelings of wellbeing.

In next 25 years, agriculture will meet huge pressure in our plant. With rapid increasing of global population, which may reach 9 billion in 2050, challenges show up: land shortage, clean water access, climate change, energy contention and survival threat. To support this exaggerated population, food production need to rise from 8.4 billion currently to 13.5 billion tons per year.
On 25th September 2015, a new global goals for the next 15 years is addressed by UN's 193 Member States in New York called "Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development" which includes 17 sustainable goals (SDGs), 169 targets and 230 indicators.
Food and agriculture are completely engaged in all goals and targets. Goal one: end poverty, goal two: end hunger, goal fourteen: oceans and marine resources and goal fifteen: ecosystem explain intensive relationship with food and agriculture.
Food and Agriculture Organization play a very important role in achieving process. Food security is recognized as key issue linked to future challenges to build sustainable world. FAO pointed fourteen specific area to contribute for sustainable goals.
- Food security and the right to food
Over 842 million people (2015) suffered from hunger in their daily life. Like poverty, food insecurity continually impacts both rural and urban regions. In rural area, poor farmers and agricultural workers do not have access to food. Citizens although have relatively sufficient food apply, reprocessing and disease control threat healthy food. Food security is related to economic growth, decent employment, social protection, health and natural resources management. Moreover, gender inequality opposes sustainable development including food security. First challenge comes from environment. With development of global business, food system has changed. Because of land degradation, extreme weather, urbanization and global market issues, food productivity and price went through fluctuation. FAO suggested that explicit political commitments need to be pushed. They should understand common underlying causes with data and information. Besides, appropriate governance mechanisms need to be established at reginal and country levels. Department in different level, projects and programs should feed demands with cooperation that ensure relevance and purposeful action towards the eradication of hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition. Accountability mechanism and monitoring capacities need to be strengthened in all area of sectors.
- Nutrition
Malnutrition including undernutrition, micronutrient deficiencies, obesity and diet impact both individual's health and national economy particular in developing countries. For people, malnutrition affects body growth and cognitive development of baby and young children, undermining the capacities and capabilities of individuals and communities. FAO estimated that 12% of the world population go through hungry with undernourishment. 26% children in the world approximately under five years old are stunted. Meanwhile, more than 1.4 million people are overweight. The cost of malnutrition put emphasis on importance for seeking solution that loss of productivity and direct health care spending can account for as much as five percent of the global gross domestic product. Nutrition is a complicated context that access to safe, diverse, nutritious food, lack of access to clean water, poor sanitation and health care participate in. Since economy and technology have changed our daily life, food production and consumption changed a lot. In developing countries, some people living in higher standard are suffering from obesity under over consumption while others are facing problem of undernutrition. That is a problem of food supply and should not happen. This need integrated action through sectors to solve challenge. Agriculture and health department should enhance nutrition of food. FAO pointed that producing food, generating income and supporting livelihoods is fundamental is the role of nutrition. To effectively increase nutrition, agriculture programs and policies have to set up index of nutrition and supervision department at the mean time need to check how much these indexes approached. In global view, international standard should be promoted. Countries follow and ensure food supply and quality. This will achieve only be realized if strategies are supported by investment plans and social activities connected with promoting diversification of livelihoods and diet. In the past few years, there has been far more concerns paid to the multiple burdens of malnutrition, with national and international initiatives rising to the challenge. The launch of the Global Panel on Agriculture and Food Systems for Nutrition can also refocus attention on opportunities to maximize the contribution of agriculture and food systems to improve nutrition.
- Poverty eradication
People living less than USD 1.25 per day are defined as extreme poverty. Nowadays about 1.2 billion people in developing countries are experiencing extreme poverty. Moderate poverty, however is deducing in a very low pace. And more than 75% of the extreme and moderate poverty in rural area relies on agriculture. There are many issues coming with poverty. Children are forced to go into labor market which is illegal. Kids work in hard conditions with poor salary and is harmful for their health. Poverty reduction has been processed around the world. However, in order to enhance economic growth, government increases production with high-tech and modern facilities. Local producers don't failed to access improved construction. Besides, extreme weather and climate change heavily impact environment plants grow and demand of stocks aggravates land degradation. To shift current situation, policy priorities need to change. The major of the rural poor are small-scale farmers which contribute most of productivity of food in the whole. Helping them access sustainable resources and advanced technology to increase production. Reducing poverty requires ecological and resource sustainability. Increased food production will exacerbate land degradation, greenhouse gas emissions and biodiversity loss unless production methods and consumption patterns become more sustainable. So farmers need affordable access to technologies. Another method is to distribute employment into board area. It could reduce waste of labor force as well as ascend local economy. About market, facilities and road construction should follow the step of production. Investment in other part related to local residents such as education, health care and social welfare are essential. It is a long time running program that young people would learn skills to work in non-agriculture areas.
- Resilience
The recurrence of disasters and crises undermines nations' efforts to eradicate hunger and malnutrition and to achieve sustainable development. Over the past 12 years, disasters have caused an estimated USD 1.3 trillion in damages, causing dead of 1.1 million people and affecting another 2.7 billion. In 2012 alone, disasters caused economic losses at USD 138 billion, continuing the recent upward tendency and marking the first time that annual economic losses have exceeded USD 100 billion in three years. Disasters and crises threaten the production of food at local, national and global levels. Shocks can strike suddenly like a flash flood or a drought. Crises can occur as a single emergency, one can trigger another, or multiple events can combine and impact at same time with magnified effects. As an example, three years of repeated floods (2010 to 2012) have inflicted serious damage on Pakistan's economy, halving its potential growth. Pakistan lost a total of USD 16 billion to the floods in these three years, with estimated damages in agriculture amounting to USD 2 billion in flood damages on over 1 million acres of standing crops. The Hyogo Framework Action (HFA) provided an approach to reduce vulnerabilities and risk to hazards. Over 12years, this process has been monitored but was various in different countries. The process to develop a successor arrangement to the HFA is already underway. To address declining risks of disasters, we need to promote relationship between interventions in different scales. Challenges of climate change and disaster risk reduction should be solved in an integrated way through policies and strategies.
- Social protection
FAO pointed that today only a fifth of the world population could get social protection. Social security is regarded as a basic content of social protection. But in rural regions, it is not enough. Labor market informality limits the potential coverage of contributory. Without access to instruments for risk-mitigation or risk-sharing, poor rural families are more likely to sell off their assets, shift to less risky, but lower yielding crops, or take their children out of school to work, which is likely to weaken future livelihood prospects. The main challenge of government, illustrated by FAO, is to extend social protection to the most deprived and vulnerable people, especially in rural area and urban informal sector. And next we will overcome often fragmented delivery of social protection in isolation of other economic policies. To solves, FAO suggests that we should help household to overcome dietary energy undernourishment by improving their access to food with particular strong impacts. Increasing local economy to increase employment to get positive feedbacks. All in all, different sectors of the government need to work together to deliver social protection successfully.
- Climate change
Agriculture, forestry and fisheries have many challenges today. Agricultural production will have to increase globally by an estimated 60 percent by 2050, and to double in developing countries, to meet projected expanding demands for food and feed from a growing and changing world population. Many current crops are already under stress through degradation of land and water resources and loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services resulting from unsustainable practices. These challenges will be exacerbated an expected increase in extreme weather events. Without properly addressing these issues, we will not succeed in ensuring world food security, sustainable and equitable development and poverty eradication. Climate change is expected to impact the agriculture, forestry and fisheries sectors in many different ways. While rising temperatures and the effects of CO2 fertilization may benefit production in some regions, in the short term the overall consequences to yields are expected to be adverse. Climate change impact four part of food security: food availability, food accessibility, the stability of food supply, and the ability of consumers to adequately utilize food including food safety and nutrition. It need a variety of approaches. Firstly, we should sustainably increasing agricultural productivity and incomes. Secondly, adapting and building resilience to climate change and last is reducing and removing greenhouse gas emissions. International governance is also curial in addressing action in sectors related to designing.
- Ecosystem services, biodiversity, genetic resources
Biodiversity is key to food security and nutrition. Its genetic component provides the variation needed to increase food production, enhance its quality and adapt it to ever-changing environmental and socio-economic conditions. Many economic sectors depend on biodiversity and ecosystem services, including agriculture, fisheries, forestry, health, nutrition, energy and tourism. The expected growth of the human population, and the consequent need for additional food, feed and fiber, will put stronger pressure on the environment. Presently, humans use only a fraction of the existing biodiversity for food security and nutrition. Using such a small number of species, often with a narrow genetic base, increases the vulnerability of agriculture systems and puts food security and nutrition at increasing risk. Global initiatives has been established addressing the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity and ecosystem services.
In conclusion, FAO has promoted a lot to approach SDGs. There are totally 14 aspects pointed by FAO and here I just show some of them. It is a comprehensive project connected with SDGs. However, we could see that most of suggestions are provided to government level which is far away from individuals.And supervision mechanism in action need to be refined. There is still a long process to achieve goals.

Four residents of a Belgian garden
needed some help
. An odd couple, an alert Scottish terrier and a lethargic angel were being ruined by stains. The owners of the concrete statuettes requested that their beloved garden figurines be cleaned with Oxy-Klenza™ and sealed with STAIN-PROOF Original™ to keep them looking their best.
Our case study page is one of the most visited on our website. Every case study we publish is permanently located there. If you would like to promote your company with a job that you have recently completed using a product from the Dry-Treat range, email
with your name and phone number. Please put
'case study
' in the subject line. Include a description of the project with some great quality images.
Dry-Treat exhibited at the Natural Stone Show in London last month. The 3 day event attracted visitors from UK, Europe and across the world. Onlookers were eager to find out more about the Dry-Treat range. A big thank you to everyone that came past!

Research sponsored by UNESCO and the International Union for Geological Sciences claim that Europe, the Americas, Asia and Australia will
join together to form one supercontinent.
The international team of scientists have discovered that this supercontinent cycle is caused by the Indian Ocean widening by a few centimetres each year and the Pacific Ocean narrowing at a similar rate.
In 100-200 million years these massive geological forces may result in entire cities being reshaped. Dry-Treat Head Office is already planning for the possibility of dealers having to re-locate. Rest assured our website will be updated when the supercontinent forms.
The nature of the stone industry often means weird and puzzling problems are a common occurrence. A recent customer query this week is one such example. The owner of a sealed bluestone floor discovered strange marks on some tiles that kept re-appearing. The stain looked like water marks but there was no obvious source inside the home.
After a few days the culprit was unmasked as the family dog! The stains were actually caused by saliva not a mischievous poltergeist. It's a reminder for all animal owners to be diligent about their mess as well as yours!
Apart from offering part time investigative work, Dry-Treat also makes a cleaner for all types of indoor cleaning. HANAFINN™ Rejuvenata ACTIVE™ contains 3 natural active enzymes that quickly break down oils, grime, food residue, and mold stains. Rejuvenata ACTIVE™ is effective for heavy duty cleaning and stain removal, including those caused by a beloved pet.

Preparing an Asthma Attack Action Plan
Knowing the warning signs of an asthma attack and what to do if one occurs is key to your asthma treatment.
Staying calm is the most important thing you can do during an asthma attack, and planning ahead can help you keep your cool. A personalized asthma action plan can reduce your stress and give you a sense of control during an asthma attack if it develops. Thinking ahead can also help you know which asthma treatments to turn to when you start to feel the symptoms of an asthma attack coming on and help you choose the right medications for the particular circumstances.
Create Your Own Asthma Attack Action Plan
To begin, you need to work with your doctor to develop a flowchart of the medications you should take in response to your symptoms.
"Anyone who has asthma should not leave the doctor's office without a written management plan. They need to feel like they know what is going on with their asthma should something happen, what they should do if they get more symptoms, and when they should call their physician," says Robert F. Lemanske, Jr., MD, head of the Division of Pediatric Allergy, Immunology, and Rheumatology and professor of pediatrics and medicine at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health in Madison, Wis.
Make sure your asthma action plan includes what to do for these specific signs of an asthma attack:
- Wheezing
- Shortness of breath
- A feeling of a tightness in the chest
- Fatigue
- Coughing at night or early morning
If you have a hard time identifying asthma attack symptoms, learn how to use a peak flow meter, a portable device that measures your ability to push air out of your lungs. Make a note on your asthma action plan of what your results are when your asthma is under control and what you should do when those results change.
Prepare for an Asthma Attack
Even when your asthma has been under control for some time, you can still have an asthma attack. Here's how to prepare:
- Know your triggers. Whether it's a certain situation or time of year, knowing your triggers is essential to managing your asthma. Some common triggers include cat dander, smoke, seasonal allergies, and respiratory infections.
- Share your asthma action plan. Tell people who spend time with you, such as co-workers and family members, where you keep your action plan and what they should do in an emergency.
- Keep rescue medications accessible. "If there is any one drug that most asthmatics should have on board, it would probably be the albuterol inhaler," advises Richard Castriotta, MD, professor of medicine and associate director of the Division of Pulmonary, Critical Care, and Sleep Medicine at the University of Texas Medical School at Houston. Place these "rescue inhalers" in a variety of locations so you can get to them easily: in your gym bag, at work, and in several places at home. Make sure that you have spacers or valve-holding chambers (hand-held devices your doctor can prescribe which make it easier to use the inhaler correctly) on hand if you need those to use your inhaler properly. If there are other rescue medications that you need during an asthma attack, such as steroid tablets, keep those with you as well.
- Write down important phone numbers. Your asthma action plan should include the phone numbers of your doctor's office and the closest emergency room, as well as people to notify when you have an asthma attack, such as your spouse, parents, or close friends. Keep a card with this information written on it in your wallet or purse.
- Know when to ask for help. If you have followed the action plan agreed upon by you and your doctor and have taken your medications as prescribed, but your symptoms are not going away, ask for additional help from your health care provider.
Bottom line on asthma action plans: Take the time to make, and then become familiar with, an asthma action plan. By doing this when you feel well, you will have a blueprint in hand that will serve you — and those around you — well if an asthma attack occurs.

Argentina takes back the Falklands on new 50 Peso bank note
- @RT_com
Argentina's Central Bank has issued a new 50 Peso banknote with an image of the Falkland islands on the front and anti British imagery on the back. The new bill will be released as legal tender early next month and is bound to cause outrage on this side of the Atlantic.
The Falkland Islands, known locally in Argentina as the Malvinas, is a disputed group of islands in the Atlantic Ocean, just 300 miles off the coast of Argentina. Officially, the islands are an overseas British territory but Argentina has always maintained its claim over the archipelago.
The back of the note prominently features rebel Argentinian leader Antonio Rivero on horseback with an Argentinian flag waving high above his head. Rivero led an uprising in 1833 just a few months after Britain had reasserted their control of the islands in which 5 people died.
The inception of the note was announced last April by president Cristina Kirchner at a ceremony marking the 32nd anniversary of the Falklands War. Today, Central Bank president Alejandro Vanoli explained the new note saying "The aim of this new banknote is to incorporate the Argentine nation's unwavering claim over the Falklands Islands into an element of daily use."
The political situation in the islands really came to a head in 1982 when Argentinian forces landed and occupied the islands kickstarting the Falklands War which lasted about 10 weeks. 907 casualties were recorded during the war with 649 of those being Argentinian in a war that was fought primarily in the air and on sea.

Pointing has captured the interest of scholars from various fields who study communication. However, ideas and findings have been scattered across diverse publications in different disciplines, and opportunities for interdisciplinary exchange have been very limited. The editor's aim is to provide an arena for such exchange by bringing together papers on pointing gestures from disciplines, such as developmental psychology, psycholinguistics, sign-language linguistics, linguistic anthropology, conversational analysis, and primatology.
Questions raised by the editors include:
*Do chimpanzees produce and comprehend pointing gestures in the same way as humans?
*What are cross-cultural variations of pointing gestures?
*In what sense are pointing gestures human universal?
*What is the relationship between the development of pointing and language in children?
*What linguistic roles do pointing gestures play in signed language?
*Why do speakers sometimes point to seemingly empty space in front of them during conversation?
*How do pointing gestures contribute to the unfolding of face-to-face interaction that involves objects in the environment?
*What are the semiotic processes that relate what is pointed at and what is actually "meant" by the pointing gesture (the relationship between the two are often not as simple as one might think)?
*Do pointing gestures facilitate the production of accompanying speech?
The volume can be used as a required text in a course on gestural communication with multidisciplinary perspectives. It can also be used as a supplemental text in an advanced undergraduate or graduate course on interpersonal communication, cross-cultural communication, language development, and psychology of language.

Americans have a compulsive fascination with 'The Nutcracker'. Originally a Russian Imperial Ballet, it is now danced here in U.S. more than in any other country and has been an ever-present staple of pre-professional companies and schools, as well as well as flagship and regional companies everywhere. Among the most enduring have been those at New York City Ballet, Pacific Northwest Ballet, The Joffrey Ballet, and Ballet West. The two oldest versions of the
ballet, at Ballet West and City Ballet, share similar roots. When William Christensen decided to present America's home grown production for San Francisco Ballet in 1944 he turned to George Balanchine who had known the ballet from performances at the Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg. Later in 1954 George Balanchine would make his own esteemed version for City Ballet which is still in place today. It has become permanently embedded in the holiday season in New York much like the Christmas tree at Rockefeller Plaza or the performances of the Radio City Music Hall Christmas Spectacular.
San Francisco Ballet has seen four other productions since Christensen. They currently perform a version by SFB Artistic Director Helgi Tomasson, a very American looking version set in San Francisco with lots of recognizable local appeal. Utah's Ballet West went on to inherit Christensen's 'Nutcracker' when he moved to Salt Lake to build his new company. Decades later, they continue to perform it. It's a very honest, uncomplicated rendering with exceptional details. For a first try it has proven amazingly durable.
In the mid-1980's both Pacific Northwest Ballet and Joffrey Ballet established brilliant productions that have returned each season. Over the years they have been important fixed points in the legacies of both companies. The PNB version, darkly decorated with the extraordinary designs by Maurice Sendak, was retired last year. An imaginatively adapted version for film (Hyperion Pictures 1986) with exceptional cinematography remains as a record of that production. That beloved Stowell/Sendak production was replaced this season with a franchised version of George Balanchine's 'The Nutcracker'. Peter Boal the company's Artistic Director stated the change was primarily a financial decision based on years of declining ticket sales.
For 2016 Joffrey Ballet will retire its production for a replacement choreographed by Christopher Wheeldon. With designs based on the 1893 Chicago World's Fair celebrating the Columbus Quadricentennial, the early signs hint at a profound lack of cultural awareness on the part of Wheeldon and those steering the production through its early stages. The current Joffrey production is remarkable for the contributions of both, Robert Joffrey and Gerald Arpino, who together developed a uniquely expressive American style of ballet. As founding partners, their final prized collaboration which opened in 1987 seems too important to abandon.
The question remains, how do companies build performance legacies when they seem determined to toss out exceptional productions that have helped build their successes. PNB will be embarking on making a new legacy with an already established production while Joffrey Ballet will be turning to the red hot Mr. Wheeldon for whatever his current dancemaking cachet has to offer. In both cases, the chances are good they will be losing more than they stand to gain, and that's not a winning strategy.
