Hoax loss was less than half a million
prankster Jonathan Moylan has been widely blamed for temporarily wiping $314 million off the value of Whitehaven Coal last week but shareholders in fact lost a fraction of that - no more than $450,360.
Mr Moylan, 24, sparked widespread condemnation on Monday last week when he issued a hoax ANZ press release saying the bank had withdrawn a $1.2 billion loan to fund Whitehaven's Maules Creek project in the Gunnedah Basin, citing ''volatility in the global coal market, expected cost blowouts and ANZ's corporate responsibility policy''.
Mr Moylan's media release was reported by various outlets and, within minutes, caused an 8.8 per cent collapse in the Whitehaven share price.
Course-of-sales data obtained from Bloomberg by Fairfax Media, and verified with the Australian Stock Exchange, show there were about 2.8 million Whitehaven shares traded in 23 minutes after 12.18pm, when AAP first reported ANZ's funding had been withdrawn. Other media outlets followed. By 12.39pm AAP retracted the story. Whitehaven called a trading halt at 12.41pm.
By that time Whitehaven shares had fallen to $3.21, down 8.8 per cent on their trading price of $3.52, before the fake story broke.
Many investors sold on the way down to $3.21 and the stock was recovering when trade was suspended, trading back to $3.31. Trade re-opened at $3.53 at 1.30pm that day.
The difference between $3.52 and the price of each share parcel traded while the market was misinformed, marks the maximum potential loss attributable to the hoax.
Media reports have concentrated on the maximum $314 million wiped temporarily from the value of Whitehaven Coal at its low point - based on the difference in the market capitalisation of the company at $3.52 and $3.21.
The federal opposition spokesman on the environment, Greg Hunt, said most people would consider $450,000 ''a substantial sum''.
''If someone were to take and burn that amount of cash from retirees, families or businesses, that would rightly be denounced for its economic damage, personal damage and would inevitably attract the interest of the authorities,'' he said.
''It is the principle of the hoax which is the issue. Since when has it been right to take action which impacts on others in such a negative way? People have a right to oppose and protest but they must respect the law.''
Mr Moylan issued his fake ANZ press release from a laptop in the Leard State Forest, where he spent more than 160 days camping in protest against three planned coal projects, including Maules Creek. He is now being investigated by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission.
Whitehaven is considering legal action against the activist.

From Prospect to Alumna
This fall Molly Quinn '12 achieved a unique trifecta: she ran as an alumna in IC's annual opening cross country race after having competed in it as both a "will-be" and a student-athlete.
The Jannette Bonrouhi-Zakaim Memorial Alumni Cross Country Meet kicks off Ithaca's cross country season each year and is open to three types of runners: current Bombers, alumni, and children of alumni who one day "will be" Bombers themselves. Quinn first ran the race in the late '90s as one of the dozens of youngsters joining their parents in the annual alumni meet, which began as an informal event in the mid '80s and became an official function in 1989. Her parents, Jim Quinn '86 and Jill Loveless Quinn '85, have been fixtures at the race since its inception.
A four-year member of the cross country and track and field teams, Quinn earned all-conference honors in both sports. Last May she graduated with a degree in physical therapy, and her first Labor Day weekend after graduating included the annual alumni meet.
Jim Nichols, men's cross country coach since 1991, and Bill Ware, who coached Jim Quinn during his Bomber career, started the event tradition for the cross country programs. Now, 20 years later, they've seen the first person ever to participate as a member of all three groups.

Despite reports out of the far east this morning that China Unicom has seen 100,000 iPhone 5C and iPhone 5S reservations in China since preorders commenced in time for the weekend, no news at home is definitely bad news for Apple on Wall Street.
As MMi readers are well aware, Apple has a penchant for parading out reservation stats after a new mobile device becomes available for preorder. But as of early afternoon Monday, Apple is yet to tout any impressive details.
For the first time since the 2009 introduction of the iPhone 3GS, Apple appears to be keeping quiet on just how many devices it presold in the first 24 hours. In the past, the company has published the first-day figures in an early-morning press release on the Monday following the Friday start of sales.
Of course, Apple could still make an announcement today, but it is unlikely.

Chapel Hill, NC — An unusual collaboration between cell and developmental biologists and physicists at UNC-Chapel Hill is providing insights into the relationship between the physical properties of cells and the signals that influence cell behavior.
In a paper published online yesterday in the journal Nature Cell Biology, a team led by Keith Burridge, PhD, Kenan distinguished professor of cell and developmental biology and a member of UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, and Richard Superfine, PhD, Taylor-Williams distinguished professor of physics and astronomy, demonstrates that exerting mechanical force on cells activates Rho GEF proteins through distinct signaling pathways. The Rho GEFs activate Rho proteins that are part of the RAS superfamily – a class of proteins associated with cancer activity.
The cross-disciplinary team applied magnetic particles to cells and then used magnets to exert force on the cells – creating extracellular tension.
"This experiment was only possible because we were able to bring together a team of physicists and cell biologists," said Burridge.
"It's very exciting because we have identified the entire pathway between the tension exerted on the cell to proteins that, in turn, activate other proteins that we know tend to be hyperactive in cancer," he added.
Scientists have long believed that the mechanical environment of cells affects their growth and properties. For example, solid tumor cells tend to have an altered stiffness. Other researchers have shown that the stiffer the cell matrix, the worse the prognosis. There is evidence that rigid tumors shed more cells, which escape the original tumor site and may lead to a greater chance of cancer spreading through metastasis.
"There has been a hypothesis that cell stiffness and tension create a vicious cycle leading to enhanced growth, more cell density, more tension, and larger tumors," said Burridge. "Innovation funding from the University Cancer Research Fund allowed us to identify the pathway and provided data that resulted in a grant renewal worth approximately $1.3 million over the next four years."
In addition to Burridge and Superfine, the research team included postdoctoral fellow Christophe Guilluy, PhD, and assistant professor Rafael Garcia-Mata, PhD, from the Department of Cell and Developmental Biology and graduate student Vinay Swaminathan, PhD, and assistant professor E. Timothy O'Brien, PhD, from the Department of Physics and Astronomy.
In addition to the UCRF innovation grant, this research was supported by the National Institutes of Health and a Marie Curie Outgoing International Fellowship from the European Union Seventh Framework Programme.

Today is the last day for the public to comment on proposed changes to the warrant of fitness system.
The Government last month announced plans for a radical shake-up of the system, with four options being considered.
The changes could include new cars being checked at two years after being sold, followed by inspections at four and six years.
The changes are part of Government proposals to lower the annual compliance costs of the WoF, vehicle registrations and the certificate of fitness and transport services licensing systems.
AdvertisementAdvertise with NZME.
Dog and Lemon car review website editor Clive Matthew-Wilson said the proposed changes had been deceptively packaged.
"The Government has done a brilliant job of presenting the changes to the vehicle licensing system as a measure to save ordinary motorists time and money. Actually, the average motorist will save very little and may lose a lot."
Research carried out by the Automobile Association found more than 60 per cent of New Zealand drivers fear changes to vehicle licensing regulations will mean fewer WoF checks.
A recent Motor Trade Association survey found 630 of the 1000 drivers surveyed believed changing the frequency of WoF inspections would compromise road safety.
People can make comments on the Ministry of Transport website.
The options proposed by the Government:
• Yearly inspections for all vehicles up to 12 years old, six-monthly thereafter
• First inspection at three years, annual thereafter and an improved test
• Inspection based in distance travelled, with measures to encourage safe vehicles
• Inspection on change of ownership, with measures to encourage safe vehicles

Dinner Tonight: Roasted Chickpeas and Lamb Sausage with Swiss Chard Recipe
Your source for quick recipe every single week day.
Though not as well celebrated as the beginning of asparagus or tomato season, there's some real pleasure in spotting the first swiss chard at the market. Vibrantly colored, they pop out and just beg to be bought—I really can't resist them. Usually I enjoy swiss chard a side dish to some random meal, so it's nice to find this recipe from the blog Abby & Sam, which fully integrates them into a dish.
The roasted chickpeas add some nice textural difference, and the paprika and cumin help give it some depth. But it's the red wine vinegar that really perks this dish up. The sausage is kind of an afterthought here, and could be left out if you wanted a vegetarian main. That said, some good locally made lamb sausages are certainly welcome to the plate.
- Yield:2 to 3 people
- 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 bunch Swiss chard, thick stalks removed
- 2 lamb sausages
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
- Salt and pepper
Preheat oven to 350°F. Meanwhile, combine the chickpeas, half of the olive oil, cumin, paprika, half of the garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss well, and then dump onto a baking sheet. Spread out in a single layer, and then nestle the sausage amongst the chickpeas.
Set the baking sheet in the oven and cook for about 30 minutes, tossing halfway through.
While that's baking, chop the Swiss chard leaves. Pour the remaining olive oil into a large skillet set over high heat. Add the rest of the garlic, and let it cook for a few seconds, stirring often so it doesn't burn. Then add the chard. Season with salt and pepper, and stir often. After a minute or so, add half the vinegar. When tender, about 5 minutes or so, taste the chard to see if it needs more vinegar.
Combine the chard with the roasted chickpeas in a large bowl. Toss. Serve the the sausage over the chickpeas and chard mixture.

NEW YORK -- Wal-Mart Stores Inc. executives are expected to brief investors Wednesday on topics ranging from the retailer's plans to expand its small stores to its strategies for improving profitability in its overseas business.
The annual shareholders meeting, to be held near Wal-Mart's headquarters in Bentonville, Ark., comes as the company's shares have been on a tear, fueled by a turnaround of its namesake business in the U.S., where it has been re-emphasizing its rock bottom low prices.
Wal-Mart's stock is up 24 percent since the beginning of the year and is hovering around $74.
But the big question is whether the world's largest retailer can keep that momentum going, given a slowly recovering U.S. economy and a financial crisis in Europe.
The discounter is also confronting a worker walk-out that has expanded to at least eight cities. Still, the number of employees involved so far is about 160, a tiny fraction of Wal-Mart's U.S. workforce of 1.3 million workers at its namesake division.
Investors seem to be looking past any worker unrest for now.
"We will be listening for how (Wal-Mart) will look to continue the good momentum," Deborah Weinswig, an analyst at Citi Research, said in a recent note.
The latest quarterly results showed Wal-Mart's growth pace has slowed. Its total revenue came in short of Wall Street estimates, and the discounter is delaying store expansion plans in Mexico, its largest international division, as it deals with bribery allegations there. It's also scaling back store growth plans in China and Brazil to boost profitability in those operations.
Moreover, Wal-Mart said in the latest quarter that its low-income customers are struggling in the U.S. and abroad. Analysts will be looking for any comments about the financial health of its customers.
Still, Wal-Mart's latest results indicate that the company's namesake U.S. business may have turned a corner.
Citigroup's Weinswig said that she will be looking to see how the company plans to expand its small stores under the Express and Neighborhood Market banners.
Analysts will also be looking to get updates on how Wal-Mart plans to make its international business more profitable, particularly in Brazil and China. They'll also be expecting a progress report on Mexico.

Using a combination of flight simulator technology with real-time motion sensors, the Ampelmann six-legged hydraulic platform remains stationary by continuously measuring the movements of the vessel on which it stands. The movements are relayed to a computer that controls the length of each hydraulic cylinder in the six legs to compensate for the ship's motions. From the platform, engineers can walk across a relatively stable gangway onto a turbine base.
The system was developed by Dutch technology starter Ampelmann Company at Delft university. Last year it was tested on several offshore projects. This summer and next, the system is being contracted by Jumbo Offshore to provide access to the transition pieces being installed at Greater Gabbard, a 500 MW offshore project being built by Scottish and Southern Energy subsidiary Airtricity and utility RWE Innogy. The Ampelmann will be installed on Jumbo Offshore's vessel the Jumbo Javelin.

WASHINGTON — Sen. Dick Durbin, the No. 2 Democrat in the Senate, has been named chairman of the defense appropriations subcommittee, a key panel that approved spending of almost $600 billion for the current year.
The subcommittee, with its House counterpart, makes spending decisions for the military and intelligence communities, the war in Afghanistan and other overseas contingency operations.
It also oversees expenditures on military personnel, procurement, research and development and other programs, such as one aimed at eliminating the threat to troops from makeshift bombs, the leading killer in Afghanistan.
Durbin, Illinois' senior senator, is taking over the position after the death last month of Sen. Dan Inouye, D-Hawaii, who chaired both the appropriations committee and defense subcommittee.
Durbin, in a statement, said he looked forward to taking the reins of the panel. "As we wind down the war in Afghanistan, face upcoming budget cuts, and work to prepare our military for future threats, this subcommittee will focus on ensuring our military remains the most powerful, ready and capable force in the world."
Durbin's selection could benefit Illinois-based defense contractors, such as Boeing, and military installations in the state.
The subcommittee's wide-ranging purview does not include military construction programs. The large spending measure it passed last August never won full approval in the Senate, so defense programs are being funded with a stop-gap measure.
Durbin, a 30-year veteran of Congress, has 26 years of experience as an appropriator in either the Senate or House, his aides said.
He is up for re-election in 2014. The subcommittee post means deep-pocketed defense subcontractors will likely look favorably on his candidacy, should he run again.

This week, I wrote my final column for the Las Vegas Business Press. Here's how it starts:
Its been an interesting seven years.
When I started writing a biweekly column for the Las Vegas Business Press in 2005, Las Vegas and the casino industry were in much different places. Models of Project CityCenter had just been unveiled; the first concrete pour on the foundations for what would become Aria were still in the future. Monthly revenue numbers, land prices and new condo projects on the Strip were increasing with a sense of inevitability. The bubble would never burst.
via Las Vegas Business Press :: David G. Schwartz : As I bid adieu, things looking up for Vegas.
I've had a lot of fun writing for the Business Press. I've taken on some other projects that weren't leaving me the time I wanted to produce quality work.
Of course, there's no shortage of places to find my writing these days–just check Two Way Hard Three and Vegas Seven.

New Jersey – July 17, 2017 – FLiFLihas noticed a number of issues with a variety of battery power packs that are often used on Apple Macbooks. The LifeBattery AIR was designed as a means of getting around many of these difficult issues. The revisions have worked as a means of making it easier for people to get the most out of their various different plans.
Video Link: http://www.youtube.com/embed/366V8u3Nm78
The LifeBattery has been designed to work with a full output power to 100W. This is stronger than the 87W output that the Macbook Touch Bar requires. The pass-through charge works to ensure that the powerbank can be charged and used at the same time. This makes it very easy for anyone to get all sorts of controls ready.
The PSW or Pure Sine Wave system is also included to make it easier for electricity to be produced in a clean and safe way. This works to generate enough power for the Apple device without being more harmful or risky in its design, thus offering a strong setup all the way around.
The output ports have also be organized on the LifeBattery AIR to be on the upper side. This ensures that it will be easy for people to get a quality plug running without any obstructions in the process of making this work in some manner.
All of these features have been included in the battery to make it easier for anyone to operate. It offers a simple body with a strong layout that is easy to use and convenient for all sorts of general purposes people hold when getting their devices powered up right.
In addition, FLiFLi has revised its original concept that was introduced last year to include a new layout that matches the physical appearance of the Macbook. It comes with sleek curves all around and matches all Macbook colors. The general features and functionality of the battery mix well with the appealing physical design of the battery to keep it appealing and useful alike.
Interested customers can check out FLiFLi's newest YouTube video that showcases how the LifeBattery AIR works. The team is also working on an Indiegogo campaign to help support the production of the new battery.

Child saved from Seaworld pool
Quick action by a nurse and lifeguard saved the life of a little girl who nearly drowned at a Gold Coast resort on Monday.
The three-year-old girl was reportedly unconscious and not breathing when she was pulled from a pool at Seaworld Resort near Main Beach just after 5pm on Christmas Eve.
Her rescuers revived the toddler and gave her oxygen, with the girl in a semi-conscious state by the time paramedics arrived.
Police confirmed the girl was been transported to Gold Coast Hospital where she is reportedly in a stable condition.
Seaworld Resort was unavailable for comment and it remains unclear if the girl's rescuers were staff or guests at the hotel.

With Congress poised to tackle comprehensive immigration reform, some are worried about what will be left out. In particular, there's concern that a policy overhaul might eliminate some categories of family visas. That's troubling to one group of immigrants who already wait the longest for those types of visas, and who feel they should be given special consideration. They are the families of Filipino veterans who fought for the US during World War II. WBEZ's Odette Yousef reports.
Their story really begins in the early 1940s. After bombing Pearl Harbor, the Japanese invaded the Philippines, which, at that time, belonged to the US.
"We really fought for them," said 86-year-old Remedios Cabagnot, sitting in her high-rise condominium in Chicago's North Side. "I can still remember the war. I was a teenager then." During the war, Cabagnot's husband, Serviliano Jambo Cabagnot, was one of hundreds of thousands of Filipinos who fought alongside the US.
The couple came to the US in the early 1990s, when Congress allowed Filipino vets to become naturalized citizens. Cabagnot said they wanted to live in the country she still calls "the land of honey." One of their sons, Al, was already here, and Remedios Cabagnot felt it wouldn't be long until her other two sons and daughter joined them. "We petitioned them right away," Cabagnot said. That was in 1993.
Al Cabagnot said they weighed things carefully when they filed the petition. In particular, they deliberately had his father, the WWII veteran, sponsor the petitions. "We thought being a US vet, it would be faster, it would facilitate the processing," he explained. "And we were so happy because they got approved right away. But we didn't know had to wait 20, 17 years for the visa availability."
In fact, Remedios and Al Cabagnot are still waiting. The petitions for the rest of their family are stuck in a backlog of visa applications—a backlog experienced most severely by Mexicans, Chinese, Indians and Filipinos. Filipinos can wait the longest for certain types of family reunifications because they're the second-largest immigrant group in the US, next to Mexicans.
"Filipinos have this waiting time, [a] substantial number of years compared to others," said Jerry Clarito, executive director of Chicago's Alliance of Filipinos for Immigrant Rights and Empowerment. Clarito said that Filipinos apply for a disproportionate number of family visas, but each year, the US how many visas may go to adult or married children and siblings per country. This has created long lines in countries that are heavily represented in the mix of US immigrants. In March, the US finally started processing Filipino reunification visa petitions that were filed in July, 1989. Clarito said this long waiting period is especially hard on aging Filipino veterans.
"They were in the front line of the battle," said Clarito. "Now they are behind, waiting." Clarito said Filipino veterans have gone through the trauma of war, and then endured the difficulties of acclimating to a new country. "If we recognize the services of the military people, we do recognize that the family support is number one to make the veteran or military person sane," he said.
Clarito's group is lobbying Congress to remember this as it starts reevaluating US immigration policies. He said he would like to see a stand-alone bill to address the long waits that children of Filipino veterans experience, so that it doesn't get lost in a larger bill for comprehensive immigration reform. Lawmakers from Hawaii recently introduced the Filipino Veterans Family Reunification Act, which would exempt children of Filipino veterans from the visa line if passed.
As for Remedios Cabagnot, she's seen her children a few times these last 23 years. They visited twice on tourist visas, and she last went to the Philippines 15 years ago. But Cabagnot is now too old to travel.
Her family's bid for reunification got more complicated two years ago, when her husband died, and she received a letter in the mail, saying that because of his death, the petitions were revoked. "We were all devastated when they told us that our prayers and petitions died with my husband," Cabagnot remembered.
Still, Cabagnot and her son Al hope Congress will remember them as it tackles immigration. In the meantime, they email their family in the Philippines, always updating them on the status of the petitions.

Can behavior in space as large and diverse as the internet be assigned an ideological marker? Kevin Kelly tries to do that in "The New Socialism," an article in the June issue of Wired. The premise is that the widespread use of technology that harnesses communal activity—whether on Wikipedia, Reddit, or Yahoo! Groups—heralds a major shift in the way people think. To define what he sees as a new phenomenon, Kelly repurposes an old word, "socialism," a choice that deliberately spites both twentieth-century U.S. propaganda and Marxist philosophy.
The resulting essay brims with missteps, fallacies, and self-contradictions. Kelly lists Google among his examples of a place where "digital socialism" flourishes, but "The Secrets of Googlenomics," an article that shares tease space with Kelly's piece on the cover, gives a detailed description of how the company operates as a fast-paced auction house. Another example of communal activity is that "tagged snapshots of the same scene from different angles can be assembled into a stunning 3-D rendering of the location"—which, interestingly, echoes Russian critic Ekaterina Degot's theory that Soviet public spaces and events were constructed so as to be impossible to view in full from an individual vantage point—but Kelly gives Microsoft's Photosynth as an example of a program that enables this, even after kicking the piece off with a quote from Bill Gates casting Microsoft's founder as the arch-nemesis of leftist action. Open source software is another keystone of Kelly's argument, but he neglects to mention that many companies use open source as a stage in product development, a low-cost investment in refining a good for later sale. Wikipedia, an example that crops up several times, is a non-profit, but as many critics of the site have noted, the self-appointed editors delete the addition of any information that has not been pre-approved by corporate publishing houses and media.
If the internet today can be defined by a single dominant ideology, it is most certainly capitalism, not because there is something inherently market-like about networked technology, but because corporate forces have done the most work to shape the web's development. The ten most visited sites on the internet have built-in commercial structures, designed to bring the user to the marketplace in one click if they don't put them out there at the start. Furthermore, as artist Olia Lialina has written in her essays on the Vernacular Web, the production of the new internet is in the hands of a few companies, and almost all activity takes place on sites with streamlined, professional design that leaves some room for advertisement—in other words, the structures of the internet are built and defined by corporations, which makes it naïve to speak of collective agency of the herds of people using their services. Then there's the fact that a limited segment of the population has the constant access to technology and the leisure time necessary to share and tweet. Calling these conditions "digital socialism" is like proclaiming a communist utopia at American grocery stores after watching shoppers at Whole Foods try the free samples.
So why would Kelly write an article based around a word he doesn't understand, in real or feigned ignorance of how the internet actually works? A hint to the inspiration for the piece comes in its last page, when Kelly begins discussing the current U.S. political situation. Softening perceptions of the "s-word" among Wired's cultivated demographic of 18 to-35-year-old educated, professional males will help weaken attempts to discredit the Obama administration with that same word. But by repackaging the word "socialism" for the benefit of the current elite, Kelly dilutes the verbal arsenal of those who actually believe in alternatives to capitalism. Moreover, Kelly's article hands over too much responsibility to technology. Without the corresponding intent, group activity cannot be labeled socialist, communist, democratic, or anarchist. Assigning those terms carelessly encourages belief that a tool itself provides the solution to change, when in fact change comes from how it is used.

Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt has been accused of taking part in a "deliberate, planned, co-ordinated and cynical" attempt by the Conservatives to damage the reputation of the NHS in Wales.
Mr Hunt told the House of Commons earlier this week that care failures in Wales were increasing pressure on casualty departments in England, with a 10% rise in Welsh patients using A&E services in hospitals on the English side of the border since 2010.
He claimed health authorities in Labour-controlled Wales acted as if the lessons of the inquiry into the Mid Staffordshire tragedy, in which hundreds more people died than expected, "stop at the border".
But Welsh health minister Mark Drakeford said the numbers of English patients using Welsh casualty departments had also grown by 10% over the same period, which had seen average attendances at A&E rise by 11% across the country.
Accusations that NHS standards were much lower in Wales than in England were "simply not true", said Mr Drakeford, describing Mr Hunt's suggestion that Welsh patients were flocking over the border to escape poor treatment in Wales as "absolutely absurd".
Mr Drakeford told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "We have a long and porous border. Numbers are up everywhere."
Mr Hunt's claims were "not to do with facts at all" but were "part of the deliberate, planned, co-ordinated and cynical attempt by the London Conservative Party to drag the reputation of the Welsh NHS through the mud", he said.
Mr Drakeford added: "Are there things we could do better? Of course there are. Are there days when the Welsh NHS is under strain? Of course it is. But it is equally true on the other side of our border too.
"The accusation that Welsh patients die in Welsh hospitals at levels which demand a national inquiry is certainly not the case."

Last week I saw the video for Aaliyah's "I Miss You" for the 100th time, stomach tightened, eyes fixed to the screen as if it were the first. As I watched the celebrity ensemble share a moment of collective grief, somberly mouthing the words in the posthumously released clip, I feel certain that Aaliyah Dana Haughton never intended for her best friends and biggest fans to sing her song as a tribute. Not this way, at least.
The video features a montage of our favorite moments from her short career. From a quick cameo in Notorious B.I.G.'s "One More Chance" to the breathtaking underwater scenes from "Rock the Boat," the video that would be her last, Aaliyah's effortless beauty and piercing likability bolted from my screen, making it hard, even still, to accept the abrupt ending of her life.
As we approach the 10th anniversary of her death on August 25, that end is still hard for her fans to digest. I was 11 years old when Aaliyah released her debut single, "Back and Forth," in 1994. She, only 15 at the time, was a brilliant balancer from the beginning: mature yet appropriate; rugged and sexy; inviting and mysterious. She was the kind of "grown" that my friends and I aspired to be, and we obsessed over her for it, hoping that if we paid enough attention, some of it would rub off on us.
She was also important to a generation of 1990s urban music aficionados who bore witness to the melding of hip-hop and R&B, the signature sound of the first half of the decade. If Mary J. Blige was our queen of hip-hop and R&B, then Aaliyah was our princess.
A Loss That Still Haunts Us
The grief attached to Aaliyah's death is almost as pronounced as it was right after a plane crash ended her life in 2001 when she was 22 years old. With most celebrity tragedies, shock ensues, wears off, and the reality of the loss sinks in. But Aaliyah's death continues to haunt our communal psyche.
Consider the loss of those who passed before her. In 1996 Tupac Shakur was gunned down in Las Vegas. Six months later, Notorious B.I.G. was shot and killed in Los Angeles. The sorrow over their deaths was immeasurable, but both artists did a decent job — consciously or unconsciously — of preparing us for their downfall. Biggie named his first album Ready to Die. Pac famously said, "In my death, people will know what I was talking about."
Both provided countless references to dangerous dealings, premature death and the fears and anxiety that came with it in their music. It was hard not to associate their untimely deaths with their own musical narratives.
Aaliyah, though, offered up a stark contrast. Here she was: 22, stunning, in love with Damon Dash, riding the waves of a successful acting debut in Romeo Must Die and preparing for the release of her third studio album. Her body of work dealt mostly with the trials of love.
Quite simply, death was not a part of her story. Aaliyah maintained an innocence — despite that icky R. Kelly marriage scandal — that was hard for her fans to reconcile with her tragic demise.
I was preparing for my first day of college when a friend called to tell me that Aaliyah had passed. I immediately asked "Aaliyah who?" because surely it couldn't have been the same one whose dances we had practiced in my basement in summers past. I remained numb for some days.
At that moment, I felt as if I knew her. I felt like she was one of us. And for the first time, at 18, I had a real-life example of an old mantra I had heard a million times prior: Tomorrow really isn't promised to anyone.
And so all we are left with are thoughts of what could have been had Aaliyah not been cut down in her prime. As it goes with most celebrity deaths, we posthumously call our fallen heroes "the best," spewing out the names of current stars who wouldn't stand a chance had our hero lived.
Ciara has been accused of jacking Aaliyah's entire aesthetic, from the bare midriff to the tomboyish appeal to the heavy focus on dance. Aaliyah left a void in the market for soft singers with urban flair, making it easy for Ashanti to slide right in and achieve the sort of success she had in the early 2000s. And of course, there is the looming question: Could Aaliyah have succeeded in putting the kibosh on Beyoncé's quest for pop music domination?
Beyoncé and Aaliyah: A Shared Reign?
The reality is that attempts to find out what could have been are moot. We will never know. But it's not off base to assume that things might have been different had Aaliyah lived.
Following her solid debut at age 14 with the album Age Ain't Nothing but a Number, Aaliyah introduced a new sound to R&B with her widely influential and best-selling sophomore album, One in a Million. In truth, the signature sound of Missy Elliott's debut album, Supa Dupa Fly — also produced by Timbaland — in 1997 was not a surprise to those who had been paying attention to One in a Million.
In fact, Missy Elliott and Timbaland, Aaliyah's producers and close friends, shaped the sound of pop music with their unorthodox arrangements and instrumentals. They had a choke hold on urban pop music production and urban radio from the late '90s well into the 2000s.
Timbaland co-produced Justin Timberlake's first album, Justified, in 2002, certifying him as a go-to mainstream pop music producer. Elliott went on to sell 7 million records in the U.S. and has an endless list of production credits under her belt. It's difficult not to wonder how Aaliyah would have grown as an artist, considering the company she kept.
She was not a power singer; nor was she a songwriter. But she was an artist who had an immense impact as the muse of powerhouses like Elliott and Timbaland. Aaliyah's "Are You That Somebody?" — her contribution to the Dr. Doolittle sound track in 1998 — was as innovative as it was influential. Timbaland's brilliant production, Aaliyah's sultry vocal performance, and video choreography that every teenage fan wanted to memorize made for what Rolling Stone magazine called "one of '90s R&B's most astounding moments."
Aaliyah also had her eyes set on Hollywood, starring in the action thriller Romeo Must Die and the horror film The Queen of the Damned. She was also slated for a role in the Matrix movie series. Critiques of her acting were mixed, but she was generally accepted as solid and not laughable, like many musicians-turned-actors (not all that Glitters is gold, Mariah).
Aaliyah carries as much mystique, both in life and in death, as the swoop of jet-black hair that she famously wore over her eye suggested. The Washington Post called Aaliyah "hip-hop's Lady Di." She, like Princess Diana, was just coming into her own when she was robbed of her future.
What could have been had Aaliyah survived? As a music lover, I'm sad that she never got the chance to give us more. Would Queen Bey have had to, at the very least, share the spotlight? It's likely. One thing is for sure: There will never be another quite like Aaliyah. She was one in a million.

- Additional Information
Quick OverviewSealy Posturepedic is synonymous with orthopaedically correct support, a pressure-relieving comfort system and long-lasting durability.
The word 'Posturepedic' is a contraction of the words 'Posture' and 'Orthopaedic':
Posture = The position of the human anatomy as a whole.
Pedic = The medically correct position of skeletal and associated structures of the body.
Sealy Posturepedic is the culmination of continuous research and ongoing development of sleep systems, and their interaction with the human body. Orthopaedically Correct Design
Here is how it works:
The body needs to be correctly supported to allow the muscles to relax
Relief of pressure points minimises the body's need to toss and turn during sleep
Orthopaedically correct design is the balanced combination of these two elements.
All Sealy Posturepedic support systems are made from Titanium alloy.
Titanium is a light, very strong metal that adds extra durability.
Titanium is found in many modern applications and is commonly associated with adding strength and resilience to golf clubs, cars and precision instruments.
The SRx® Core support design has two distinct phases starting with the initially flatter and softer coil turns followed by the second phase deep down support from the steeper turns at the base of the coil.
Most spring units have all coils aligned in the same direction. The SRx®II coil columns are aligned in an alternating pattern across the mattress providing reduced surface motion to help achieve a more restful night's sleep.
UniCased® is an advanced edge support system which is a combination of KeyGuard and a BasePlank. KeyGuard is the edge, which has keys that push right into the innerspring, ensuring even side support and great stability all round. A BasePlank is a unique channelled construction that encases the underside of the mattress.
The two components are heat-welded (thermobonded) together to encase the support system around all sides and bottom. The benefits of a Unicased mattress includes:
Strong and durable edge support.
ComfortCore® Premium
Located at below the quilt layer, ComfortCore® Premium is a memory foam layer across the centre third of the mattress, which provides extra conformance in the important lumbar region of the lower back, designed to disperse pressure where it is needed most. The additional density in the centre third, also improves the durability of the comfort system.
A dynamic fabric treatment applied to ticking after the weaving process.
The treatment acts by increasing dispersion of moisture as temperature increases.
This action assists the process of evaporation which in turn assists cooling, maintaining the sleep environment at the ideal temperature for the sleeper.
The treatment does not affect the sleep environment unless heat and humidity increase sufficiently to require it.
This ensures that anyone sleeping on the mattress gets only what they need.

The chemical fertiliser push in Africa and its implications for smallholder farmers is not receiving enough attention in current discourses concerning Green Revolution policies and practises in Africa.
In a scandalous move of skulduggery, the African Fertiliser and Agribusiness Partnership (AFAP), under the guise of empowering smallholder farmers in Africa, is subsidising multinational fertiliser and financial corporations on African soil. Other beneficiaries of this scheme are the global grain trading and food processing giants.
The 'new' Green Revolution push in Africa is directed squarely at increasing agricultural production as the continent's most fundamental development priority.

I know it sounds crazy — it's hard to imagine doctors being more annoyed with EMRs than they already are — but according to one study that's just what's happening.
A newly-published study by the American Medical Association and the American College of Physicians' AmericanEHR division suggests that doctors like the current crop of EMRs less than ever.
About half of study respondents said that their EMR was having a negative impact on costs, efficiency or productivity, the groups reported. Only 22% said they were satisfied with their EMR, and a scant 12% said they were "very satisfied."
Doctors' happiness with their EMRs has dropped substantially since five years ago, when 39% reported being satisfied and 22% said they were very satisfied, according to a prior study by AmericanEHR. In other words, nearly 4 out of 10 doctors surveyed seem to have been content with what they had. But conditions have clearly changed.
The reasons for this are unlikely to be the result of mere peevishness. After all, with EMRs being a reality of doing business today, it seems unlikely that physicians would simply revert into sulking. Actually, my own unofficial survey — of several docs I've actually seen as a patient — suggests that most have gone through their stages of grief and decided that EMRs aren't unholy. (My PCP said it best: "You get used to them, then they're not so bad.")
Instead, I'd argue, something good is actually happening, though it may not look that way on the surface. Having adapted to the need to use EMRs, physicians are engaging with them deeply, and beginning to expect more from them than a kludgy interface slapped on a slow database can provide.
Some are actually proposing that EMRs go beyond traditional medical record paradigm, something I see as an exciting development. For example, Dr. Arlen Meyers, CEO of the Society of Physician Entrepreneurs, argues that it's time to "unbundle and re-engineer the care processes model" by introducing new templates into EMRs. In fact, he's a fan of rethinking the hallowed SOAP (symptoms, objective findings, assessment and plan) approach to patient notes:
Given how things are changing, it might be time to give the pink slip to SOAP. The main problems are that 1) the model does not prioritize information by levels of urgency, 2) it does not provide decision support when it comes to how one disease affects the other or how one medicine affects another, and 3) it does not add efficiencies to taking care of increasingly complex patients.
And Meyers is not the only one. In fact, a recent paper published in JAMA Internal Medicine suggests that a new format flipping the elements of the SOAP note and reordering them as APSO (assessment, plan, subjective, objective) works well in the EMR age.
According to a 2010 study detailed in the paper, APSO notes were fairly successful at the University of Colorado ambulatory clinics. The study, which looked at APSO use in 13 clinics, found that 73% of participants were "satisfied" or "very satisfied" with the new format, and 75% "preferred" or "strongly preferred" reading APSO notes.
I'm betting that physicians will only be satisfied with EMRs again when EMRs are reshaped to embrace new ways of working. Since new workflow demands are generated by using EMRs, in turn, this cycle may never end. But that's a good thing. If physicians are engaged enough with their EMRs to propose new ways of working, it will benefit everyone.

In a replay of yesterday's contentious finish at Koksijde, Belgium, the tandem of Sven Nys (Landbouwkrediet) and Kevin Pauwels (Sunweb Revo) sprinted for the win at Superprestige Gieten but without any of Koksijde's questionable tactics.
Instead, Nys took a move from track racing by starting his sprint early, forcing Pauwels to jump, and then restarted his sprint to win the race. Just as the sprint began, the duo was reached by Rob Peeters ( Telenet Fidea), the race's early protagonist. Unable to contest the sprint, Peeters finished third, after a long and aggressive day of racing.
A featured rider throughout the race, Peeters proved to be one of the only riders able to consistently jump the barriers. After taking the holeshot, he and Zdenek Stybar (QuickStep) took advantage of their quick barrier clearance and nurtured a small gap through the muddy, technical switchback section.
Their lead was solidified after Tom Meeusen (Telenet Fidea) clipped his bike and was forced to enter the pits. This moment of error proved vital to the final outcome of the race as Peeters and Stybar managed to grow their gap by aggressively taking turns, even resorting to grabbing posts to stay upright.
With Meeusen disrupted and the field bottlenecked, Klass Vantornout (Sunweb Revor) reacted by attacking and managed to reach the lead group. He was immediately behind Meeusen during the mechanical, and the only rider to immediately make the junction.
Behind, Sven Nys (Landbouwkrediet) moved to the front and clawed back the ten second gap. When the gap hit seven seconds, Nys upped his pace and the field shattered. By the time Nys reached the muddy switchbacks, he was solo and trailing the leaders by a scant five seconds.
But the chase proved to be long and difficult, and it took Nys an entire lap to close. When he did reach the front group, it looked as if they were going to be caught by the chase that was only 12 seconds back. Using this as an opportunity to bridge, Pauwels attacked and quickly reached Nys and the leaders.
Despite the slow chase, Nys looked strong and later told Sporza that it was part of the plan, "At first, I conserved my force. In the end, I was still fresh." Pauwels looked to be fresher and more explosive, but he didn't do much pace-making after reaching the leaders. He told Sporza he was feeling tired and was outclassed, saying, "Sven was stronger. I was in the beginning of a bad feeling in my legs. Perhaps due to the cyclocross in Koksijde."
Rather than an attack, it was the mud that again proved to be determinant. In the final laps, several riders from the lead group hit the pits to change bikes due to mud. With a gap opened ahead of them, Vantornout and Peeters attacked to gap the chase. With a small lead established, Vantornout did the majority of the work as Peeters slowly drifted back to a hard-chasing Nys.
With the gap closed, Vantornout sat up. Nys and Pawiels instantly seized the moment and attacked. Stybar was forced to react, but he couldn't reach the wheel of Pauwels and the gap hit five seconds.. Things were still touch-and-go as Meeusen moved to the front, but the chase proved futile.
Firmly at the front, Nys relentlessly attacked the turns and barriers. The chase couldn't latch back on, but got close enough to allow Peeters bridge. The grimacing rider reached the duo of Nys and Pauwels before the sprint, forestalling any cat and mouse games.
On the left side of the road, Nys started his sprint early and falsely forcing Pauwels to jump. As Nys moved toward the center of the road, he jumped again for the win with Peeters finishing third.

IG Credit: The Hidden Risks of "Safe" Bond Strategies

I believe there's a stark difference between loneliness and solitude, and that practicing the latter cures the former. I needed to be alone, but I also needed to play, have fun and feel life's romance again. When San Diego came a-calling with the motto, "Happy Happens" I hopped on a plane down the coast to triple-dog-dare/allow myself a little TLC adventure on my own. My guide to The La Jolla and San Diego coastal gems can ensure one's re-commitment to excitement in life. Get ready for a trip where there is no end to passion, whether you put the 'man' in romance or not.
Translated from Spanish means, 'the jewel' and this neighborhood lives up to its name. The queen bee of La Jolla is La Valencia Hotel, a pepto-coloured palace that winks across the water to those strolling the shores below, she has been hostess to lovebirds, high-rolling peacocks and ladybugs like me since 1926. (I stayed in a private luxury villa overlooking the ocean.) The excellence and warmth of staff was the most prominent feature among its many beautiful Mediterranean-inspired accents. My first solitary indulgence was a glass (read frosty-silver-ice bucket) of champagne on my balcony at sunset. And after making like a starfish for my king-sized deep sleep, I awoke to the best alarm clock possible; the collective "urf-urf-urfing" of sea lions at the shore. I was delighted to find the newspaper, coffee and fresh strawberries at my door as I slid into sunlight at the poolside. Here I was, single and lonely in paradise. NOT!
At Brockton Villa for breakfast, I discovered the truth about their "world-famous French toast". Conclusions: 1) Best French toast I've had in my life. 2) Gentle suitors take heed: my copy of the recipe could be considered a fine dowry in some countries.
The majestic La Jolla coastline cliffs are true north for any leisure lover and are a pedestrian's paradise. Upon my enquiring about car rentals, the young bellman assured me with his shaggy-blonde-California voice "All you need here is a pair of Chevrolegs!".
Along gallery-speckled streets I strutted solo to The Cave Store, a hole-in-the-wall where for a few bucks I could literally enter a hole in the wall and venture down 100 feet of dank, dark slippery, musty stairs to Sunny Jim's Cave where water level meets cliff's hollow. I took a few scary breaths and entered darkness. The reward of saltwater ecstasy greeted me at the bottom as daylight pierced through the blackness revealing La Jolla's stunning coastline.
To refuel all the energy I burned off stair climbing I headed to world-renowned Addison at the luxurious Grand Del Mar Resort, where I was wined by prominent Sommelier Jesse Rodriguez as he walked me through pairings to compliment the award-winning cuisine of Relais & Châteaux Grand Chef William Bradley. The fact that my purse was brought it's own chair (a first for me and I'd imagine many people also) was just one of the golden touches to an evening that I have since declared as the most perfect dining experience I've ever had.
La Jolla Playhouse has some of the most progressive theatre in America. Torrey Pines Golf Course is atop the cliffs with Pacific Ocean views and was home to the 2008 U.S. Open. A hike through eight kilometres of the Torrey Pines State Reserve will create room for another taste of the exquisite at The Marine Room as prepared by Executive Chef Bernard Guillas and Chef de Cuisine Ron Oliver, best-selling authors of The Flying Pans.
About as classic of a California coastal town as it gets, Encinitas is a laid-back, surf's-up blast from the past. With world famous Swami's Beach inspiring the good vibrations of Beach Boys tunes and boasting infamous swells for recreationados along the shoreline, the namesake ashram of Swami Paramahansa Yogananda rests in peace above the cliffs and is celebrating this year the 150th anniversary of Kriya Yoga. It is a sanctuary for anyone who wishes a true retreat in silence to simply be with themselves in the nature Swami worked so passionately to preserve. Yogananda, author of best-selling Autobiography of a Yogi, was the first to bring the Vedic Sciences and Yoga from India to the West.
I spent a day and night at the ashram in complete silence to see what my spirit had to say about this little adventure of mine (it concurred), and then I spent a few hours meditating in the gardens above Swami's beach where he strolled daily. After the ashram I re-caffeinated at legendary Recording Studios/Coffee Shop, Surf Dogs Java Hut, where Kerouac would've have written a novel dedicated to barista of the gods, Esteechu; the living, breathing she-Google of Encinitas who hang-loosely pointed me forward.
This local-focused town (where the down to earth water-babies swimming in money live) had me strolling with enchantment through shabby-chic boutiques that were not too shabby, garden-market heaven and tasting all of the olive oil I could handle along Cedros Avenue. This design district oozes local green ethos, adding value to the already pricey au currant musthaves. I had a coffee and gourmet PB&J sandwich at the charming Lockwood Table Café, where vertical gardens growing on the patio provide the salad greens. A stop in at Aaron Chang Surf Gallery evoked inspiring chat with one of the most talented pro surf photographers out there. A refuel at Pizza Port, a local legend for prime slices and micro-brewsky had me tasting beer on a surfboard for the perfect finish.
35 miles north of San Diego is not too far to go to encounter seven miles of coastline and feel like an absolute princess with no strings attached. I gave myself the gift of thousands of flowers at Carlsbad Flower Fields. If there is any place where Sloopy would have granted the request and finally let her hair down it would have been here. Endless rows of tulips and roses are among the kaleidoscope of unforgettable colours. This place had me feeling somewhere between the Yellow Brick Road and Donovan's Mellow Yellow, it was an absolute stunner of an attraction.
At Chuao Chocolatier, SoCal's premier artisan chocolate, I handmade chocolate and paired it with wine while hosted by world-renowned Master Chef Michael Antonorsi. My hands got obey gooey in hot wet chocolate while I made a batch of sassiness; Chuao's signature "Firecracker".
La Jolla and nearby coastlines beckon those who like me, live for the ocean. I kayaked La Jolla Cove, through surf and sea lions, exploring the stunning caves that crown the coastal jewel town from the inside out! To surf like a true siren of the sea, I hit up Surf Diva, the surf shop where twin sisters Coco and Izzy Tihanyi created the world's No. 1 surf school for females and have been empowering fearless riding from beginner to competitive levels ever since.
I now have proof that loneliness turns to loveliness in San Diego. Romance, love and passion are all around and even though strikingly single, I found myself, as C.S. Lewis put it, being "Surprised By Joy" even on my own.

In July 2007, seven key leaders of an Islamic charity known as the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF) went on trial for charges that they had: (a) provided "material support and resources" to a foreign terrorist organization (namely Hamas); (b) engaged in money laundering; and (c) breached the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which prohibits transactions that threaten American national security. Along with the seven named defendants, the U.S. government released a list of approximately 300 "unindicted co-conspirators" and "joint venturers." During the course of the HLF trial, many incriminating documents were entered into evidence. Perhaps the most significant of these was "An Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Group in North America," by the Muslim Brotherhood operative Mohamed Akram.
Written sometime in 1987 but not formally published until May 22, 1991, this 18-page document listed the Brotherhood's 29 likeminded "organizations of our friends" that shared the common goal of dismantling American institutions and turning the U.S. into a Muslim nation. These "friends" were identified by Akram and the Brotherhood as groups that could help convince Muslims "that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and 'sabotaging' its miserable house by their hands ... so that ... God's religion [Islam] is made victorious over all other religions."
Akram was well aware that in the U.S., it would be extremely difficult to promote Islam by means of terror attacks. Thus the "grand jihad" that he and his Brotherhood comrades envisioned was not a violent one involving bombings and shootings, but rather a stealth (or "soft") jihad aiming to impose Islamic law (Sharia) over every region of the earth by incremental, non-confrontational means, such as working to "expand the observant Muslim base"; to "unif[y] and direc[t] Muslims' efforts"; and to "present Islam as a civilization alternative." At its heart, Akram's document details a plan to conquer and Islamize the United States – not as an ultimate objective, but merely as a stepping stone toward the larger goal of one day creating "the global Islamic state."
In line with this objective, Akram and the Brotherhood resolved to "settle" Islam and the Islamic movement within the United States, so that the Muslim religion could be "enabled within the souls, minds and the lives of the people of the country." Akram explained that this could be accomplished "through the establishment of firmly-rooted organizations on whose bases civilization, structure and testimony are built." He urged Muslim leaders to make "a shift from the collision mentality to the absorption mentality," meaning that they should abandon any tactics involving defiance or confrontation, and seek instead to implant into the larger society a host of seemingly benign Islamic groups with ostensibly unobjectionable motives; once those groups had gained a measure of public acceptance, they would be in a position to more effectively promote societal transformation by the old Communist technique of "boring from within."
"The heart and the core" of this strategy, said Akram, was contingent upon these groups' ability to develop "a mastery of the art of 'coalitions.'" That is, by working synergistically they could complement, augment, and amplify one another's efforts. Added Akram: "The big challenge that is ahead of us is how to turn these seeds or 'scattered' elements into comprehensive, stable, 'settled' organizations that are connected with our Movement and which fly in our orbit and take orders from our guidance." The ultimate objective was not only an enlarged Muslim presence, p { margin-bottom: 0.08in; }but also implementation of the Brotherhood objectives of transforming pluralistic societies, particularly America, into Islamic states, and sweeping away Western notions of legal equality, freedom of conscience, freedom of religion, and freedom of speech.
Akram and the Brotherhood understood that in order to succeed in this endeavor, they needed to appeal to different strata of the American population in different ways; that whereas some people could be influenced by messages delivered from a religious perspective, others would be more responsive to messages delivered by educators, or bankers, or political figures, or journalists, etc. Thus, Akram's blueprint for the advancement of the Islamic movement stressed the need to form a coalition of groups coming from the worlds of education; religious proselytization; political activism; audio and video production; print media; banking and finance; the physical sciences; the social sciences; professional and business networking; cultural affairs; the publishing and distribution of books; children and teenagers; women's rights; vocational concerns; and jurisprudence.
By promoting the Islamic movement on such a wide variety of fronts, the Brotherhood and its allies could multiply exponentially their influence. Toward that end, the Akram/Brotherhood "Explanatory Memorandum" named the following 29 groups as the organizations they believed could collaborate effectively to destroy America from within – "if they all march according to one plan":
ISNA Fiqh Committee (now known as the Fiqh Council of North America)
Islamic Medical Association (of North America)
Association of Muslim Social Scientists (of North America)
Occupied Land Fund (later known as the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development)
Islamic Information Center (of America)
