How many of you saw the Prime Minister's first press conference yesterday? If you did, and felt thoroughly bored through the 1.5 hours of sheer torture, spare a thought for me. I was in the same hall.
Now, all over the world, the head-of-state (government) press conferences are eagerly awaited. It allows the media to come face to face with the nation's chief executive, without any aides. It not only gives us the chance to find out what is in store for the nation, and hear it directly from the person who matters most, but also form an opinion about the grasp that the person has of the challenges the nation faces. Does he have it in him to steer the nation?
Dr Manmohan Singh is undoubtedly among the most qualified people holding such jobs in the world. His excellent background in economics has come in very handy, especially in light of the financial turmoil the world has seen in the recent past. The same cannot be said about his public/press dealings, unfortunately. And yesterday's press conference was proof enough.
For a premier who has often been accused of being weak, this was one chance to set the record straight. He could have grabbed the occasion to speak straight, make strong points about his handling of various situations etc to not only shut up the pesky scribes, but even send a signal to his team that he means business. He could have indulged in some banter with the media, including a huge cache of international media, to make a statement. Yes, I am in control and am not overawed by any of you. Instead, it was a Prime Minister who seemed almost scared to take a stand, scared to upset anyone, stonewall tough questions with platitudes, and seem almost under-prepared to answer tough questions, not that there were too many.
I thought he began on a good note by deciding not to read his opening remarks that had been circulated half an hour before he arrived. Imagine hearing him go on in his monotone, rambling, deadpan manner for twenty minutes as he trundles through motherhood statements it contained. But the relief was short-lived. For he did exactly that in his responses, which, minus any accompanying energy, makes it worse. May seem uncharitable, but the only time he seemed energetic and excited was when a questioner asked about whether he had asked Rahul Gandhi to join the government.
Our PM perked up, and gushed how Rahul baba was most qualified to be a member of his council of ministers, but had been reluctant to join because he wanted to rebuild the party. And then the tireless soldier of the party that our doc is, added he is a member of the party and Mrs Gandhi is the president of the party and if the party so desired, he would step down immediately. I really wondered where that came from, for at no point did the questioner hint that he ought to step down to make way for Rahul G. If he is trying to dispel the perception that he is a puppet, this unnecessary add-on response did not help. But who knows, it may even be deliberate. I accept the situation and if that is what keeps my position safe, so be it. In all this, the one positive was the number of journos called upon to ask questions from the regional language press from all over the country.
Coming back to the questions, I fail to understand why our media cannot ask sharp, incisive questions? And more importantly, why do they believe in sermonizing and lecturing in the garb of questions? I remember when my colleague had the chance to interview George W Bush before his India trip a few years ago. He had been given very limited time, so wanted to ensure no time is wasted in questioning. He rehearsed innumerable times before going in for the interview. The idea was to get Bush to talk, not talk to him. Seems our scribes still don't get that. And while I waited for the media advisor to pick some foreign correspondents too for some questions, he let me down. Quite surprising, for their questions are often direct and to the point. What was even more surprising was that I had seen the Press Information Bureau guys take questions from some of them in advance. Perhaps the questions were too uncomfortable to answer.
As a profession, journalism has its pros and cons. A number of people think it is glamorous. Some find the scribe's easy access to top politicians and celebs a heady potion. I have also had friends ask me if I can get them the 'Press' sticker for their cars. The perception is that the traffic police are lenient if the vehicle sports the Press sticker.
Now if you consider these as pros, I can tell you from experience that the cons outweigh the pros any day. And one of the major cons is attending numerous press conferences and seminars. And even among those, not many have been as boring as the one yesterday. Mr Prime Minister, please prove us wrong!

An investigational drug is one that is under study and is not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for sale in the United States. Medical research studies are conducted to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of an investigational drug. These research studies are also called clinical trials. Once an investigational drug has been proven safe and effective in clinical trials, FDA may approve the drug for sale in the United States.
Tucaresol is an investigational drug that is categorized as an immune modulator.2 Immune modulators (also called immunomodulators) are substances that help to activate, boost, or restore normal immune function. Tucaresol is being studied for its ability to help restore or boost the immune systems of HIV-infected individuals. The drug may help to repair damage that HIV has done to the immune system and protect the long-term health of HIV-infected individuals.3-6
Clinical trials are conducted in phases. Each phase has a different purpose and helps researchers answer different questions.7
Tucaresol is being studied in Phase II clinical trials.2
A Phase I/II study compared the immune modulating effects of tucaresol in four groups of HIV-infected participants.
In the Phase I/II study discussed under the previous question, the most common side effects that occurred in the treatment-experienced participants who were taking ART and tucaresol were low-grade fever and other mild constitutional symptoms. (Constitutional symptoms are symptoms affecting the whole body, such as fever and weight loss.)3
Information on possible side effects of the drug is not complete. If testing of tucaresol continues, additional information on possible side effects will be gathered.
More information about tucaresol-related research studies is available from the AIDSinfo database of ClinicalTrials.gov study summaries. Click on the title of any trial in the list to see the ClinicalTrials.gov trial summary and more information about the study.
Participating in a clinical trial can provide benefits. For example, a volunteer participant can benefit from new research treatments before they are widely available. Participants also receive regular and careful medical attention from a research team that includes doctors and other health professionals. However, clinical trials may also involve risks of varying degrees, such as unpleasant, serious, or even life-threatening side effects from the treatment being studied.7
Your health care provider can help you decide whether participating in a clinical trial is right for you. For more information, visit NIH Clinical Research Trials and You.

|Article about Andy in The Grocer, September 2012
We have surmised from his website that Andy Mahoney of Dulwich, South East London makes very good cheese. This past summer, he entered an annual competition there called the Young British Foodies with a cheese he made from the milk of a goat names "Footsie." He was nominated in the "Honorary Young British Foodie" category. (That's a big honor!)
He has documented in detail (with pictures) the recipes for many of his fabulous cheeses at his website:
Raw Cheddar
Stilton-style Blue and results
Raw Blue
Raw Goat Blue
Raw Hurdlebrook Blue
Camembert and Camembert 2
Raw Goat White and Perfected for Awards
Bryndza - Czech Cheese
I asked Andy to share his post about washed rind cheeses with us and he graciously agreed:
Washed Rind Cheese
Posted by Andy Mahoney at his website, Handyface
Inspired by my experience washing Bermondsey Spa cheese in Kernel Brewery ale with Mootown Cheese I decided I wanted to try and recreate it's oozing, meaty goodness at home.
At the heart of any sticky, orange-coloured cheese like Milleens or Stinking Bishop is the bacteria brevibacterium linens. This naturally occurring bacteria is present on human skin at an incredibly high concentration, and if left unchecked, can start to smell – especially on your feet!
|Smelly feet or good cheese?
Just as the blue of Roquefort cheese comes from naturally occurring spores in the Roquefort Caves, washed rind cheeses are also a product of their surroundings. Historically, sweaty cheesemakers unwittingly transferred their own strain of bacteria to the cheese which, with the right environment, caused a sticky, pungent orange rind to form. As the cheese matured, the bacteria ate into the cheese paste, causing it to break down into a soft, meaty cheese.
|Brevibacterium Linens (apparently)
Nowadays of course, the bacterial strain has been isolated and cheese is innoculated directly during the make, or propagated from an existing cheese through washing. Even though cheese making is a sanitary process, the "smelly feet" odour remains, which sadly turns a lot of people off washed rinds. It's unfortunate because many – such as Stinking Bishop – actually have quite a mild flavour.
|24 pints of raw Ayrshire milk
I picked up my usual 24 pints of Redlays Farm unpasteurised Ayrshire milk from Blackheath market on Sunday and got cracking!
|Three cheese moulds
Having not had much success with making washed rinds in the past, I asked around a few cheese making friends and forums for any tips. A fair number of people recommended innoculating with geotrichum candidum (C7) to create a "clean layer" for the brevibacterium linens (C10) to grow on. So, after heating the milk to 31C (89F), I added these, plus some DVI starter and left to acidify for 30 minutes.
|Adding the animal rennet
Previous experiments into how much rennet to use indicated I should use around 0.06% animal rennet (R7), diluted in four times as much water, to achieve a set in around 60 minutes.
|Curd giving a clean break
In reality the curd took around 20 minutes longer than expected to give a clean break – I think this may be down to natural degradation in strength of the rennet, as I've had the same bottle on the go for quite a while now.
|Cutting the curd
Using a palette knife, I cut the curd into roughly 1cm cubes, starting with large blocks vertically, then smaller and smaller, angling the knife to try and cut through the blocks. Cutting the curd allows whey to be released from the curd, and slows down the rennet acidification.
|Stirring the cut curd while heating
Once the curd has rested for a few minutes to allow it to heal (i.e. recover from the cutting), it's time to get stirring and heating in order to slow the rennet action even further and release more whey, making a less squidgy curd. I heated to around 35C(95F) over the course of 20 minutes or so.
|Getting rid of the whey
Here's where my lovely vat becomes really useful. Having the tap at the front allows whey to be drained off much quicker and easier than ladling out by hand. Once the whey had been completely drained off, it's time to carefully squash the curd into the moulds and add some weights on top for around 24 hours.
|Curd in salt water
Then it's time for the salting to start! In the past, I've mostly used dry salting (i.e. applying salt directly to the cheese), however washed rinds are generally initially bathed in salt water to allow the salt to permeate throughout the cheese. In this case, the cheeses floated around in a 16% brine solution for 12 hours, after which they were given a bit of a drying off, then placed in a fridge at 16C(61F) at over 90% humidity.
|Unwashed cheeses (note the propagator cheese on the right)
After about a week, a light fluffy covering of geotrichum candidum had appeared, so it was time to start washing, to keep the surface moist and salty to encourage the brevibacterium linens growth.
|Washing the parent cheese
First up for a wash was the parent propagator cheese. This is one from a previous batch of cheese I'd made which had ended up with a great flavour and texture, so I wanted the strain to continue. Washing consisted of a couple of drops of 10% salt water solution and a bit of gentle smearing.
|Damp parent cheese
Washing continued roughly every couple of days. As my experience with Bermondsey Spa had taught me, if the texture of the surface was any more moist than a postage stamp, I postponed washing till the following day.
|Fully ripened homemade washed rind cheese
After about three weeks I cracked them open and had a taste. They were really, really good! So good in fact that I actually allowed other people to have a taste, including washed rind cheese king, Bill Oglethorpe of Kappacasein, who said:
"Just polished off the cheese, it's really good! I thought there might be too much salt and a hint of bitter but on second thoughts its fine. The contrast in textures is really nice, oozing on the edges and slightly chalky in the middle. I left it at room temperature for a couple of days and it survived very well."
I'm very happy with this recipe and the feedback. Next time I might try to go a little lighter on the salt concentration to address Bill's concerns, but other than that it seems like a winner!

CEA overnight trip to Pompeii, Sorrento, & Capri
November 29, 2012
Slowly coming to an end...
It's without a doubt that the past couple of months have been the best and most memorable in my college career. Living in Rome has been a phenomenal experience. It literally feels like a dream to finally be here learning about an amazing historical city, eating one of the most delicious types of cuisines in the world, meeting people, and building relationships that I know I will forever cherish.
Ever since I studied abroad in Spain and China, I knew that going to school outside of my home country would create a life changing experience and that every college student should partake in that. Spending one moth in both countries opened my eyes to many possibilities. I learned not just about the places that I visited, but also about myself. From my experience, I know that there is something significant that takes place when a student is pushed beyond their comfort zone in a different country. Although there are some challenges that students face when studying abroad, I feel that there is something significant that takes place when a student lives and experiences a different way of life. Through my own voyage to the United States, living in Ethiopia, and studying in Spain and China, I know that the best way to learn about another country is to be in the native environment that allows you to develop an understanding of the culture, the people, the language and their history.
As a result of studying in China and Spain for a short period of time, I knew that I needed more than a month to immerse myself in the culture and have an amazing learning experience. So that is the very reason I chose a semester-long program in Rome. Looking back at the past two months, I have learned and retained a lot more than the past couple years in college combined. Since our program includes many cultural activities in addition to our class, we are learning more and more about the Italian culture, people and their history in a more pleasant way than just sitting in a classroom.
Since I arrived here in Rome at the end of August, I have had the opportunity to travel to 9 countries in Europe. When asked to describe my experiences in those countries, I'm mostly at a loss for words because there are literally not enough words to describe how fun and incredible all of the places have been.
All of my learning and traveling have made me realize that I want a career that will allow me to explore more of the world. Since I am in my senior year, it's very important for me to know the career path that I want to follow after this semester. From the beginning of college, I knew that I had an interest in International business, but now, it's solidified as a result of my traveling adventures. In fact, I have already started applying for Business Consultant positions for companies that have a global presence. So when I am asked how this program will affect my life after college, I can honestly say that it has already changed my whole life. I know now that I want to spend majority of my life working a living abroad and I definitely have CEA to thank for that!

Europe Travel
Hello readers, it has been quite sometime since I last blogged. I've been having way too much fun in Italy and Europe in general to keep up with writing, and I apologize for that. Since my last entry, I have traveled to 8 countries in Europe and 4 cities in Italy. With traveling just about every weekend, taking 5 classes, and trying to explore Rome as much as I can, I feel very busy here and time is cruising by. Here are some of the places that I've been to since my last blog entry:
Pompeii, Sorrento, Naples, & Capri, Italy
Prague, Czech Republic
Corfu, Greece
Amsterdam, Netherlands
Brussels, Belgium
Dublin, Ireland
London, England
Budapest, Hungary
Munich, Germany
Since I have less than a month here, I am only traveling for one more weekend to go to Florence and Venice. Beyond that, I am taking advantage of every second I have in Rome by continuing to explore. I truly can't believe that this adventure is coming to an end soon.

UrbaWind is an automatic CFD software solution for wind modeling in the built environment. This tool is dedicated to work-oriented applications: natural ventilation, wind energy, and pedestrian wind comfort. The local wind statistics (speed and direction) of any place in the world is integrated in the software. The outputs are user friendly and can be visualized in 3D. Screen Shots
CFD, wind simulation, wind energy, natural ventilation, pedestrian comfort
The results have been validated against wind tunnel testing, on-site measurements and standard CFD packages used for wind modeling by wind energy experts (The Bolund experiment, Risoe 2009). Validations have been presented at various international conferences such as International Small Wind Conference (Watford, UK – April 2009), New Zealand Wind Energy Conference (Palmerston North, NZ – March 2010) and AWEA Wind Power Conference (Dallas, TX – May 2010).
Expertise Required
No previous experience in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is required. Meteodyn offers one-day training courses for new users. The training includes a theoretical part and a hands-on part with case studies. The training can be done at the user's office location or in one of the Meteodyn offices in the United States, France, or China. The software license includes technical support by e-mail and phone.
The users of UrbaWind include engineering consultants, research centers, and universities from the United States, Spain, France, England, Portugal, and China.
UrbaWind is targeted toward building engineers, architects, urban planners, and wind turbine installers.
The user needs to define the buildings and vegetation with computer assisted documents (STL format). The topography can be input as STL format if the terrain is not flat. The ground roughness can be designed in a grid point format (xyz) to define the ground type (water, asphalt, or grass). The computation mesh and the boundary conditions are automatically generated.
A wind database is already integrated in the software for the whole world. The user can also use its own on-site measurements (as a text file with statistics of speeds and directions).
Outputs formats are Excel files, text , and 3D visualizations. Results can be on solid contours or as vectors on horizontal and vertical planes. Outputs include wind characteristics by direction (wind speeds, turbulence, pressure, and wind gust) and work-oriented results for wind energy (mean wind speeds, annual wind energy production, Weibull coefficients), natural ventilation (air debits and renewal rate in buildings by season), and pedestrian comfort (comfort maps).
Computer Platform
Windows 7, XP, Vista. Parallel computations can be done on a multicore computer. The minimum configuration is 2 GHz with 4 GB of RAM and a graphical card of 256 Mo.
Programming Language
Net C# and Fortran
UrbaWind is the only automatic CFD software for wind modeling in the built environment. The solver is robust. Calculations are fast and results are work-oriented.
For natural ventilation in tropical humid regions, UrbaWind can be used as a stand-alone program for the thermal studies in the buildings.
UrbaWind cannot be used for calculating wind extreme pressure on buildings for building construction. The software does not include thermal calculations. For natural ventilation in a temperate climate, the software has to be coupled with a thermal software solution.
Meteodyn America Inc.
123 S Broad Street
A demo of UrbaWind can be downloaded from www.meteodyn.com. The software can be purchased on an annual or perpetual basis. A two-month trial license with full functionalities and support can be purchased. Academic discounts are also available. You can ask for pricing at firstname.lastname@example.com.

I know the title is kind of redundant, but I was curious if there is
anything beyond these couple of steps that I have taken to secure ssh?
First I have edited the /etc/securetty to contain only these entries:
This is to allow root to login from the local console only. I have also
edited the sshd_conf file to disallow root logins. This box is sitting
behind a router that only has port 22 forwarded to this machine and I have
setup the router so that it does not respond to ping request from the
outside world. The final thing, I could think of is to set hosts.allow to
the certain IP�s that I might connect from, but I would like to connect
from anywhere to this machine. Is there anything else that I might
consider to help keep the machine secure?

Woodstock School Board holds firm on teacher, staff cutsBy Christian Avard
Staff Writer | February 05,2013WOODSTOCK The teachers union and the Woodstock Union High School and Middle School Board has exhausted all options to save teachers jobs, including a 2010 Vermont math teacher of the year. Now its up to voters to decide whether to approve it on Town Meeting Day.
Teachers union representative Keri Bristow said the board rejected the unions proposal to save teachers positions from being cut or downgraded from the proposed school budget on Friday. On Jan. 16, the board passed a proposed $11.3 million budget that included layoffs and downgrading of faculty and staff from full-time to part-time positions. The cuts are expected to save $325,000 for the 2013-14 school year and affect 11 faculty and staff members.
In the proposed budget, Erin Danner, the high school math teacher of the year, a high school art teacher and two family/consumer science paraprofessionals are slated to be cut. Faculty and staff facing a reduction in hours include a high school Spanish teacher, high school special education teacher, high school counselor, middle school English teacher, middle school social studies teacher and a middle school physical education teacher.
The driving factor behind teacher cuts and reduction of hours have to do with declining school enrollment, according to School Board Chairman Dwight Doton. He said WUHS has 10 to 13 students per class and the state recommends 18 to 22.
The proposed staffing changes would increase class sizes to 16 to 18 students per class and WUHS would still meet state standards for class sizes, Doton said. Math and art had the lowest student-teacher ratio at WUHS.
We decided that we could afford to raise student sizes, Doton said. We still have a very talented math department and this has nothing to do with Ms. Danner. There are never too many math teachers in this district. Our problem was simply a decline in students.
At this point, there will be no more meetings to discuss alternative funding proposals, according to Bristow and Doton. Bristow was disappointed with the School Boards decision.
Most cuts are made with the lowest paid employees but not all of them, she said. We have very little input into the process. We just simply react.
Woodstock residents will vote on the school budget on March 5, Town Meeting Day.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa After four long years the first floor of the Linn County Courthouse which was flooded in 2008 will be open for court proceedings Monday.
The eight new courtrooms, conference rooms and judges' chambers were getting the final cleanup Friday before the public opening of the first phase of the $6.3 million flood renovation project. There will be two jury courtrooms for associate District Court proceedings and six courtrooms for non-jury proceedings.
The flood impacted the entire courthouse as it closed and temporarily moved to Kirkwood College's Continuing Education Center for about three months. There's a dedication regarding the flood at the entrance on the first floor made out of terrazzo tile with pieces of the old flooring that reads "Dedication in honor of those Linn County citizens whose lives were changed forever by the flood of 2008."
The clerk's office and all the court files were previously on the first floor but more than $5 million was spent on restoring flood damaged files, so moving the clerk's office up to the main lobby was a priority, Carroll Edmondson, court administrator said earlier this year.
Sixth Judicial District Judge Mitchell Turner said it's great to see the first floor renovation completed.
"The additional courtrooms and staff area, equipped with current technology, are a very welcome and needed addition to the Linn County Courthouse," Turner said. "The dedication of these new facilities to those citizens whose lives were forever changed by the flood of 2008 is both fitting and appropriate. Hopefully, it will become an example of the old adage that good things come to those who wait. Thank you to everyone who has worked so long and so hard to make this a reality."
Kellee Cortez, assistant District Court administrator who handles the trial scheduling, said the two larger jury courtrooms could also be used for felony cases if needed which could help her avoid last minute changes to the schedule.
The rest of the courthouse renovation will be completed next year. The county attorney's office is relocating to the third floor and the traffic and small claims divisions that moved to Westdale Mall will move back in June. They will temporarily be housed on the first floor but will move to the main lobby when the other renovations are completed.
Other renovations include a walkway from the jail to the courthouse on the third floor and some additional jury deliberation rooms on the fourth floor.

There's one particular number that makes Starkville High School defensive coordinator Brooks Oakley uncomfortable going into the Class 5A, Region 2, District 6 schedule.
The Yellowjackets have given up 25 points per game and that's too much in Oakley's mind.
"We've given up a bunch of points which is a concern," Oakley said. "We've just got to get back to playing defense like we were toward the end of last year. If you get to where we want to get, you've got to play good defense.
"With Gabe (Myles) being back (at quarterback), our offense is going to score some points. We scored 22 points against West Point and that's enough to win, but the defense gave up over 40 and that's not going to get the job done."
Starkville, which finished its non-division schedule with a 1-3 record, had losses to Noxubee County 29-8, Madison Central 24-8 and West Point 47-22. The Jackets had a good night defensively in shutting out Tupelo 28-0.
With division play beginning with tonight's game at Jackson Lanier, Oakley said the first four games are in the past and SHS must focus on the present. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. in the state's capital city.
Head coach Jamie Mitchell has emphasized to the Jackets all season about not placing too much importance on the first four games of the season and those do not determine their postseason future.
Oakley said winning division games determines whether Starkville returns to the playoffs for the second-straight season.
"We've got to sell them on everybody being 0-0," Oakley said. "Regardless of who we are playing or where we are playing, this is division play. We've talked to them all week about fixing us and not so much Lanier. Even if we were playing Ridgeland, we've got to take care of us, play like we can play and the score will take care of itself."
Several Jackets remained banged up, but running back Preston Baker is listed as questionable after suffering a severe grade three sprained ankle against West Point. Linebacker David Fair continues to play with a knee injury that keeps him from practicing.
Even with the bad knee, Fair has 22 tackles with two sacks and one fumble recovery this season.
"He was effective against West Point," Oakley said. "As long as he can go, and we know he's not going to play every snap, he will do what he can do. David at 75 percent is about as good as we're going to get.
"We're still missing some guys. We've just got to play with who we've got. It's been an issue all year, but it's the next man up and he has got to get the job done."
Myles was back into the lineup against West Point after sitting out two games with his sprained ankle. In two games, Myles has completed 12 of 31 pass attempts for 140 yards and has added 37 yards rushing on 29 carries.
The leading rusher for SHS is sophomore running back Jaquez Horsley with 172 yards on 34 attempts.
Oakley has been serving as acting head coach this week in the absence of Mitchell. Mitchell has been with his family in Pontotoc after the passing of his mother Rose.
Because of the love the Jackets have for Mitchell and his family, it has been a difficult week of preparation.
"It's hard on everybody," Oakley said. "It's hard on the kids. We told them the news (Tuesday) and they care about coach Mitchell and his family. Mrs. Rose was here for most games. They all know her and know her well.
"He hasn't been here and is obviously the leader, so that's been hard on everybody and hard on us as coaches. We just have to fill the void and get the kids as prepared as possible, just like he would."View more articles in:

Meet Hennessey's 1200bhp Caddy
US tuner shoehorns in 7.0-litre twin-turbo V8 into Cadillac CTS-V, creates hole in the universe
Posted: 25 Oct 2012
John Hennessey doesn't build cars. He builds bombs. Supercharged, turbocharged, V8-powered weapons capable of cataclysmic tyre destruction and straight-line annihilation. Welcome to his newest toy, soon to be deployed to US military units around the world*.
It's a 1,226bhp Cadillac CTS-V Coupe. That's right, twelve-hundred and twenty ruddy six horsepower.
Naturally, the inner cynic will be shrieking at the screen, but Mr Hennessey has form - case in point, the Venom GT. And, essentially, this is a more comfortable, coupe-version of that car.
Hennessey has ditched the standard Cadillac CTS-V's rather lovely 6.2-litre supercharged V8, and dropped in a 7.0-litre twin-turbo V8 - like in the Venom - to produce up to 1,226bhp and 1,109lb ft of torque. In a recent dyno test, he recorded one thousand horses at the rear wheels.
As such, the 'Hennessey VR1200 Twin Turbo' will accelerate from 0-62mph - in "ideal conditions", that is - in just 2.9 seconds, hit the quarter mile in 10.2 and top out at 242mph. Quick, right?
That lump gets some special attention, too. The pistons are forged from aluminium, the connecting rods and crankshaft are forged from steel, he's lumped in high-flow cylinder heads, upgraded fuel injectors and a fuel delivery system, dual wastegastes, twin ball bearing turbos with adjustable boost control (800bhp, 1000bhp and 1226bhp), and an air-to-water intercooler.
Making a futile attempt to prevent nuclear Armageddon are a set of Brembo brakes, lowered suspension and Michelin Pilot super sport tyres, all fitted under a widened carbon bodykit (to allow for bigger wheels). Inside, Mr Hennessey has decided to bequeath much luxury to make your probable journey into the afterlife a more pleasant experience, via upgraded leather and alcantara.
Have a watch here to see it light up the dyno, and once you've decided, better get on the phone quick: he's planning to build just 12 of these nukes, each costing $295,000. You can spec it as a saloon or estate, too.
*Probably untrue, but give it time...

Microwobbleboard™ Technology
FitFlop multi-density midsoles, inspired by our Non-Stop Ergonomix™ philosophy, are biomechanically engineered to diffuse pressure and provide instant relief to your feet.

Microwobbleboard™ sizing information
Instep sizing information
FitFlop footwear only comes in whole sizes. If your feet fall somewhere between, opt up a size if you have wide feet or a high instep, and down if you have narrow feet or a low instep. In the US, most people size down to the nearest whole size. In the rest of the world, people generally size up.
To ensure these fit, take 20-30 brisk walking steps in them, then look at your heels to make sure they are not being pushed off the back of the footbed. If they are, the upper straps are too tight across your instep and you need to SIZE UP (if a size up seems too long for your foot, please try another style).
Note: It is normal to have some space between your toes and the front of the footwear.

This year millennials have more purchasing power than ever before. In order to understand and market to this generation, brands need to stay innovative and strategic. They need to create campaigns that can resonate with millennials and their interests.
Your company should watch out for the following five key millennial trends:
1. Social media paradigm shift
In 2014, we will see a paradigm shift in the way online privacy is used. More than ever, employers and marketers are using social media profiles as a way to learn about future employees and clients. This new paradigm shift in online privacy is changing the perception of what information is shared online and why. Instead of being afraid to share information, users are now focusing on what benefits come from sharing personal information online.
SEE ALSO: Useful is the new cool: How Krispy Kreme, Pizza Hut and Burberry are using technology to innovate
2. Social ads are replacing banner ads
Social advertisements are the new way to engage millennial social media users. Different from banner ads, social ads provide a brief description of the product or company being promoted and are included in the user's news feed. Traditional online banner ads are mostly ignored by social media users and are only clicked 0.2 percent of the time they are seen. Social ads are smaller and more suited for smartphones than traditional banner ads, and they are preferred by Generation Y.
3. Pictures speak louder than words
Instagram is one of the top media channels used by millennials on a daily basis. The popular social network engages millennials through pictures and encourages them to use creativity when editing and sharing content. Facebook recently purchased Instagram when it became clear that millennials preferred sharing pictures instead of status updates on their Facebook profiles. As a creative generation, millennials value brands that allow them to express themselves in unique ways. Photo sharing is a way millennials can connect with others through creative expression.

One of the capital's most inventive free festivals begins this weekend with a beached whale, an epic arial disaster movie, and fairs full of fun on both sides of the Thames.
Greenwich and Docklands International Festival is on a mission to rekindle the wonder of Olympic London with an outpouring of free outdoor theatre, dance, circus and arial performance to surprise and amaze.
On opening night — Friday — you can see three of the big shows in quick succession:
- 7.45pm: The Limbless Night, A Tale of Rights Reignighted by Graea at Island Gardens in Tower Hamlets, an immersive theatre experience inspired by Stravinsky's Rite of Spring and featuring arial choreography and performers swaying on poles.
- 9pm: Bad Taste Company's Faust reimagined in a 1920's speakeasy at the Royal Naval College.
- 10pm: Wired Arial Theatre's epic, live arial performance of As The World Tipped – on a big screen suspended in the sky.
Over the whole weekend at either end of the foot tunnel, Greenwich Fair and Island Fair offer a bewildering number of distractions. There's also stuff happening in Woolwich town centre (see below) and a wind-powered sound installation at the top of Greenwich Park Hill.
Dancing City usually sees Canary Wharf transformed for a Saturday afternoon by outdoor dance events, but this year it's been extended, with performances throughout next week at lunchtime (so the office workers don't miss out). The main event takes place on Saturday 29 June, from 1-5pm and features dancers from English National Ballet, a whirling dervish, contemporary from Candoco, duets, street jams and people in the water.
In Woolwich on Friday 28 and Saturday 29 June you can take a High Street Odyssey with Inspector Sands and be at Royal Artillery Square for the festival's climactic finale: Tangled Feet's arial spectacular One Million, both days at 10pm.
To get you in the mood for all things strange and wonderful, look out for a whale beaching on the Thames by Cutty Sark on Thursday afternoon.
Greenwich and Docklands International Festival (GDIF 2013) runs 21-29 June. All events are free to attend. Check out the full programme online.

Bird Island Research Station Webcam
The Bird Island webcam is situated in the office window of Prince House, the living/accomodation building on Bird Island. It usually points South West, towards Molly Hill and Tonk. The generator shed and the jetty can be seen in the foreground. It is updated every hour, but the blind is closed at dusk so no image will be seen after dark. This prevents night-flying birds that are attracted to the light from hitting the windows.
In summer, the beach in the foreground is a busy Antarctic fur seal breeding colony, in winter it is sometimes visited by leopard seals, and in spring by large male elephant seals. Gentoo penguins can be seen at any time. Dense fog can sometimes make the image rather disappointing, but our constantly changing wildlife and seasons means the camera is of interest all year round.
