A murder committed on paper, safely within the confines of a novel, is one thing. To see that same crime in the real world, is something else entirely...Frank Fons is a very successful crime writer. His novels, famed for their visceral descriptions of violent death, have made him a household name. But now someone is copying his crimes. For Frank what once seemed a clever, intriguing plot twist, has suddenly become a terrifying, blood-spattered reality. In the novel, a redhead who was scared of water is drowned. In the mirror-image of the real world, she has become an ex-girlfriend chained and left to die at the bottom of the harbour. A corrupt police-officer tortured to death becomes a contact who dies with fear in his eyes. Someone is taking Franks' fiction and using it to destroy his life. The writer must become the detective. In fiction, the bad guy always gets caught, but in real life there is no such guarantee. Fear becomes real. The knife cut hurts like hell. Our narrator may not survive. No-one is promising you a happy ending. For Frank what had once been a game is now a matter of life and death.
Having enjoyed Mikkel's Library of Shadow's I really was looking forward to this, his new crime novel featuring a crime writer as the central character. It's cleverly constructed, will appeal to fans of TV's Castle and also demonstrates why the Scandinavians are taking over the crime genre with the sheer volume of authors in recent years.
Add to this a lead character that really keeps you glued, some clever twists as well as imaginative sequences and it's a title that will make you keep a close eye on events and people around you. Finally add to the mix a solid writing style that identifies the author and it makes Mikkel a serious name to watch. Great.

The 2017 Whitney Biennial Is a Pitch-Perfect Survey of Art Today
Artsy Editorial
Gala Porras-Kim (b. 1984, Bogotá, Colombia, lives and works in Los Angeles, CA) has recently presented solo shows at the Commonwealth & Council, Los Angeles, CA (2017) and at Bindery Projects, Minneapolis, MN (2014). Porras-Kim has also been included in group exhibitions at both the Los Angeles County Museum of Art: LACMA, Los Angeles, CA (2012) and the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, CA (2016).
Gala Porras-Kim makes work that questions how knowledge is acquired, tests the potential of the art object to function as an epistemological tool outside of its traditional, art historical context, and challenges the possibilities and limits of learning about the cultures that surround us.
In the Rongorongo series Porras-Kim uses objects discovered in the 19th century on Easter Island that appear to contain writing or proto-writing as her subjects. There have been numerous attempts to translate, none successfully. In these drawings Porras-Kim reproduces the objects, removes the text from their original, and arranges the characters in a separate frame.
The work can be perceived as both aesthetic and utilitarian, capable of serving as a means for an outsider to access information about an unfamiliar culture and how institutions and personal biases shape those means.

The structure of a fence is relatively simple. A fence is basically made up of posts with material spread out over the posts (be it wood, vinyl or metal) to create a barrier. But, when one thing goes wrong, the fence ceases to function.
Fences aren't just for keeping your neighbors out of your business. There are fences to keep out dogs, rabbits and even elephants. Humans need electric fences to keep both species safely away from each other. According to South Indian fence maker FenzGuard, elephants can spot the weakest spot on an electric fence and push its way through. The company also says it takes more electric currents to shock a monkey than an elephant.
Chances are your fence wasn't torn up by a wayward elephant (although that would make for a cool story). Because it's outside and exposed to the elements, there are all kinds of things that can weaken the structure of your fence.
1.What is your fence made of?
When one thing goes wrong, the fence ceases to function.
Is your fence made of wood, vinyl or metal? All three materials can have different weaknesses. Wooden fences can rot and warp. Vinyl can become brittle and crack. Metal fences can rust. All fences can bend and fall.
2.Can you isolate the problem?
Is your problem related to the fence itself, or the way it was installed? If you are experiencing problems with a relatively new fence, poor quality materials could be to blame. Your fence has to withstand a lot and cheaper products often aren't quite up to the job. The problem could be with your fence posts. They must be deep enough into the ground and spaced just so for your fence to be effective. If your fence is leaning and sloping, that could be the problem. Check the base of your fence posts for places where stagnant water could pool and weaken them. You should look for outside influences, too. Wildlife growing onto your fence, the neighbor's dog or children leaning against your fence are all possible sources of fence problems.
3.Who will fix the fence?
Depending on how handy you are around the house, you could probably fix your own fence. If you are able to isolate the problem, just gather the right tools and get to work. You may have to do a little research to figure out where to go to get any replacement materials you need. If you are lacking the time, know-how and inclination to fix your own fence, contract the job out. Find a professional who knows how to deal with the type of fence you have and the type of land you have. Look online at RedBeacon.com to find a list of reliable professionals you can choose from.
4.How can you protect your fence in the future?
Once your work is complete and your fence is good as new again, take stock of what you can do to make sure your fence stays looking good. If bad materials were to blame, make sure you used better posts, nails and rails. If money is a concern, you can usually strike a balance to find quality materials that are still within your budget. Look at the money you spend on your fence as an investment. If your fence was improperly installed, take steps to make sure that doesn't happen again. If it was your handywork that wasn't up to snuff, take your time and learn all you can before attempting the job again. If it was the work of a contractor, contact him or her and see if they will make the repairs free of charge. Or, simply take your business elsewhere to someone more suited for the job.
Fences exist for a variety of reasons – to make your home look nice, to keep the outside world out, or just to establish your boundaries. Whatever the reason, make sure your fence is well made using good materials so that it can stand the test of time.

Sweet Cuppin-Cakes, do we have some stories on this week's episode for you! They mostly revolve around food, because when you're an adult your vices switch from sex and drugs to cupcakes and meatloaf. More on that in a minute.
Before we introduce you the power of cupcakes, let's refresh ourselves from last week. Last week's episode was recorded on the night before the wedding of one of our D.A. members. The wedding party was there, the bride was there, and it was an intense, awkward examination of the mindset of two people right before making the largest decision of their lives. However, the weding festivities produced a lot of stories that are far more hilarious and disturbing, so this week we regale our guests and listeners with these stories.
There was the necktie that almost broke up the wedding; this little piece of fabric packed more potent destruction of family, friends and lovers that any other single thing during the wedding weekend. Then there was the unique dinner entrée that resulted in a challenge accepted, and the resulting consequences that will continue echoing the price of victory for quite some time. Perhaps my favorite story, however, is the tale of the pineapple express and the cupcake catastrophe. Cupcakes are simply delightful and act as a powerful calming agent on adult men… but mini cupcakes, when made just right, are even better in high quantities. However, when you mix the power of cupcakes with another calming vice of adults, let's call it the pineapple express, a new power of untold measure is created. This is the story of man, cupcake, herb, and shame.

This is the best way I can be the change I want to see. I don't ever want to be a racist and not know it, so I always make a conscious effort to remind myself that racism exists, and every action can help erase it.
The first step is to realize that there really are no human "races".
…there are most certainly races. African, Asiatic, European and Native Indian. Aboriginals are considered to be a distinct Race because they have remained unchanged for centuries, but they are rooted in the Asiatic Race of the Asian Indian type.
The first step is to realize that there really are no human "races".

NSW Opp wants 'proof' Newhouse resigned
The man running against Federal Environment Minister Malcolm Turnbull, in the marginal Sydney seat of Wentworth, is under increasing pressure to demonstrate his eligibility to run for the seat.
Questions have been raised as to when George Newhouse resigned from his job at the New South Wales Consumer Disputes Tribunal.
Candidates are required to quit their government paid positions at least 24 hours before nominating to run.
Mr Newhouse says he resigned three days before he nominating as a candidate on October 25, but Fair Trading Minister Linda Burney says she received the undated letter on November 2.
The NSW Opposition is preparing to move an urgency motion in Parliament, seeking to force the release of Mr Newhouse's letter of resignation.
Opposition fair trading spokeswoman Catherine Cusack says they are both playing childish word games.
"If, as the Minister and Mr Newhouse would have us believe, he did validly resign then the documentation will be proof of that," she said.
"We have been asking since last Sunday for the release of that documentation.
"The failure of the Government to produce it is becoming painful and difficult."
Mr Newhouse insists the letter is irrelevant
"At the election I will be the endorsed Labor Candidate for the seat of Wentworth," he said.
He has accused the Government of dirty tricks, and says his opponent Malcolm Turnbull should not challenge his eligibility.

FIVE-TIME Super League champion Carl Ablett says the World Cup has made him a better player.
Ablett, 28, returned to training with Leeds Rhinos this week for the first time since the end of last season.
He spent October and November in camp with England and played in two matches of the home nation's World Cup campaign, which ended in the agony of a last-gasp semi-final defeat to New Zealand. Ablett – who was an unused substitute that day – admitted the hurt has yet to go away, but insisted Leeds will reap the benefits this year.
"We are all still carrying a little bit of disappointment," Ablett said of Leeds' England contingent.
"But speaking personally, it was a great experience being involved in the World Cup. I was involved in a great squad and being there and experiencing the camp was great for me. I will take a lot from it, just being there and experiencing the preparation and playing against Australia.
"No stone was left unturned with the preparation and you learn about yourself, being in camp for six or seven weeks with all the different lads.
"I gained a lot from speaking to the other lads, from Australia and over here and it was good to get their thoughts on the game. You try to use that to try and make you better."
Ablett admitted he is glad to be back at Leeds and focusing on the coming season, rather than reflecting on England's unsuccessful campaign.
"I know the lads are all disappointed we got so close and didn't manage to do what we wanted to do," he said.
"But we will soon forget about it. We've come back into it with Leeds, with a different set of lads and your focus soon changes. We are all pretty determined because of what happened at Leeds last year and the way we bowed out.
"We have got to be more consistent this year and we just want to start now and have a big pre-season. Everybody's bouncing and this week has been pretty good, considering it's our first week."
Coach Steve McNamara's controversial decision to leave Ablett on the bench throughout the Kiwi clash was widely criticised, but the Leeds back-rower denied he has a point to prove. "I was devastated at the time," he admitted. "I thought I could have done a job in that final game and I was really disappointed not to get used.
"But it is one of those things, he (McNamara) said he couldn't find a place or a time for me to get on. It was still a great tournament for me, but just disappointing it finished the way it did. You go away and have your break and a rest and then you are ready to go again."
Ablett said there's a determination among the Leeds players to be better this year, after they failed to reach either major final in 2013.
"We have got a great squad here," he said. "We've got some good depth and a few youngsters. We are all focused, and we know what we've got to do. Hopefully we can carry on over the next six weeks so we are good to go for the first game."

According to a Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission press release, the FWC has proposed new rules to prohibit the harvest of tiger (Galeocerdo cuvier), great hammerhead (Sphyrna mokarran), scalloped hammerhead (Sphyrna lewini), and smooth hammerhead (Sphyrna zygaena) sharks in Florida waters. According to the FWC, research indicates that these species have suffered population declines in recent decades, and the scalloped hammerhead is "overfished."
The Sun-Sentinel is reporting that the FWC has already "approved a ban" on the killing of these species. However, the FWC press release states that a final hearing on the proposed ban will not take place until November.
While the proposed ban would prohibit the killing of these four species, catch-and-release fishing of the sharks would still be permitted.

We have a very nice 1971 Jaguar XKE Series II 4-Speed for sale. This Jaguar is the very last of the Series II 2-seater Fixed Head Coupes. It was built in late 1970 and is only one of 500 with the leaping cat mounted to the front fender area where the external latch mechanism had been ten years earlier. The last one produced was #28786. This vehicle is #28254. The archivist for the Jaguar Daimler Trust in Coventry, England said that "It is a 1970 Calendar year car although it is described in the U.S.A. as a 1971 model". It is fitted with the original Phillips AM/FM/SW radio. Documentation shows it was purchased new in January of 1971 in Arizona and titled as a 1971. At the time current owner purchased, the Arizona title showed 52400 miles. It now has a clear California title and resides in Central California.
Car has had much recent work in the last couple of thousand miles such as new Michelin tires including spare, newer Connelly leather seat covers, recent carburetor rebuild and new exhaust pipes. It has also had a new fuel pump installed, battery and new master brake cylinder. The air conditioning will need charging and blinker switch replacing. This Jaguar XKE has excellent, newer paint and newer chrome on the bumpers. As you can hear in the video this Jaguar is a smooth runner and is very fun to drive.

Swiss to assist first GCC technology research center
The first center for technological research in a GCC country will be set up in Abu Dhabi. Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al-Nahyan, the UAE minister of higher education and scientific research, has announced that his ministry had signed an agreement to this effect with a prominent Swiss research foundation, reported Gulf News.
According to Sheikh Nahyan, the research center will serve the entire Gulf region, and will reduce the region's reliance on outside expertise and technology. Initially, Swiss researchers will supervise work at the center, teaching local scientists modern techniques and research methodologies.
Sheikh Nahyan added that the new center will provide a facility at which students from local universities would be able to conduct research or develop their research techniques. The center, he said, will replicate several of the most sophisticated centers existing in other countries.
Sheikh Nahyan said that agreements had already been signed with several Swiss colleges specializing in scientific research and technology. They will host students from the continuing their education in electronics and medical engineering. — (Albawaba-MEBG)

'But everyone can agree the social questions presented - about when people can follow their religious convictions, and when people are entitled to contraception care - are truly important,' he said."

BLOCK: Last night at Union Station, here in Washington, D.C., a 32-foot tree was illuminated. It's decorated each year by the Norwegian Embassy as a gift to the American people. But what caught our eye this year was the unusual choice of decoration, and Norway's Ambassador to the U.S. Kare Aas joins me to explain.
Ambassador Aas, there are hundreds of these ornaments - unlikely ornaments. What are they?
AMBASSADOR KARE AAS: There are actually 700 ornaments on the tree. They are symbolizing "The Scream," the painting of Edvard Munch.
BLOCK: "The Scream?"
AAS: As you know, "The Scream" is one of Edvard Munch's masterpieces.
BLOCK: So that ghostly figure pressing his hands up to his cheeks and screaming, there are 700 of those all over this tree.
AAS: There are 700, yes. And it's really beautiful.
BLOCK: Well, you know, it's funny, because when I think of Christmas, I don't necessarily think of "The Scream."
AAS: Sometimes, you know, when I prepare for Christmas, I really feel that I'm scared from time to time...
BLOCK: You do.
AAS: ...and it's too hectic. And it's also - sometimes also very nervous for preparing the Christmas. So I think, in fact, also "The Scream" symbolizes sort of an angst which some people have before Christmas.
BLOCK: You think it's appropriate, actually, for sort of the pre-Christmas tension.
AAS: I think so. I think so. But also, I think it's important also to underline more seriously that this was 150 years since Edward Munch was born.
BLOCK: Aha, so it's the 150th anniversary of his birth.
AAS: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And we have been celebrating Edvard Munch all over the world in 2013.
BLOCK: Well, you have 700 of these "Scream" ornaments, Ambassador Aas. What do you do with them after the tree comes down?
AAS: Well, we're taking down the tree in January. I think that we will give these 700 ornaments as gifts to colleagues and American interlocutors, I would say.
BLOCK: Oh really? That's your sort of diplomatic outreach...
AAS: Yeah, it is. But I'm not sure, Melissa, whether you also know it but this is actually also a reflective ornament. And these reflective ornaments are used in Norway particularly among the younger population, when they walk to school, when they go to visit friends so that the cars can see them when they're walking out in the streets, and in the dark season of the year.
BLOCK: Mm-hmm.
AAS: Could be also helpful to many citizens of this, even as they're walking around - hmm. And then, of course, we hope that more Americans will use these reflective ornaments in the future.
BLOCK: You're very practical, aren't you?
AAS: We are always very practical, the Norwegians.
BLOCK: Well, Ambassador Aas, happy holidays. Thanks for talking with us.
AAS: Yeah, yeah, thanks to you.
BLOCK: That's Norway's ambassador to the United States Kare Aas.
BLOCK: One last thing before I let you go. How do you say the scream in Norwegian?
AAS: Skrik.
BLOCK: Skrik.
AAS: Skrika. You should start to learn Norwegian because you take all the words immediately. I'm very really, really, really impressed.
AAS: Skrik.
BLOCK: Skrik, it sounds scarier in Norwegian...
AAS: Yeah. Yeah. It's scarier than the scream. Yes, of course.

What should I put in my Newsletter? How will I know if anyone reads it?
Permission-based email marketing is one of the most powerful marketing tools available to you for developing and nurturing relationships with prospective and existing clients. Connecting with people on a regular basis who have expressed interest in your business and providing them value with helpful content is a proven way to establish your expertise and generate business. It requires consistent effort and patience, as well as compelling, timely content to build a contact list of people who want to receive your newsletter. You need to build an effective list organically by asking for email addresses at every business touch point and then delivering content that answers questions and solves problems. Using a sound approach, your list will grow over time with people genuinely interested in your business.
Measurable Results
Web-based email marketing solutions like Constant Contact enable you to measure the response of each newsletter you send–you are able to see who opened the email, who clicked through to your links and which links they clicked on. You can also track new subscribers, people who unsubscribe, bounces and spam complaints. This information helps you measure your success and improve your results as your marketing efforts continue and expand. By understanding the response to your content, you are able to adapt your newsletter to add value for your subscribers in the future.
List Management
North Rim Consulting recommends a web-based email marketing solution like Constant Contact to host your subscriber list. They automatically handle important list management functions such as: a signup widget for your web site to add subscribers, allowing subscribers to edit their profile information, and the ability to unsubscribe (it is required by law to process an unsubscribe request within 10 days).
Compliance Issues
Another important part of email marketing is understanding legal compliance and technology dealing with the elimination of SPAM. By outsourcing email delivery and list management to a reputable email marketing company, you are able to stay on top of new technologies employed by ISPs to eliminate SPAM that require changes in both how you send email, and what you send. As you develop email marketing as a means to communicate with prospective and existing customers, it is important to follow the law, and keep your email practices current with changing standards.
The power of permission-based email marketing helps you build relationships with prospective and current clients, and convert web site visitors into new and repeat business. North Rim Consulting helps you develop compelling content for your newsletter, understand and adapt to your results, manage and grow your contact list, and integrate this important component into a larger Internet Marketing strategy.

Tagged: sidebar tabs
I just updated Eunoia to 1.6 and noticed that my sidebar_tabs are no longer working:
thanks in advance for your help.
I figured out it's the PhotoMosaic plug-in (http://codecanyon.net/item/photomosaic-for-wordpress/243422). I need to have this plug-in, is there a workaround?
Hi hughjaas
You can try contacting the plugin author and see if they are able to find a conflict with the themes jquery usage or what might be causing the issue outside of that.
The topic 'Sidebar tabs suddenly stopped working' is closed to new replies.

I have heard tons about blogging and I have FINALLY decided to give it a try. I am so excited to get started. As a mom of five, I have…shall we say…very interesting days! My hope is that this blog would serve as a means for me to share my life and all my interests with you. So, come on in and enjoy my journey through motherhood…through the eyes of Mama Jenn (that's me)!
By the way, I hope to post at least three to four times a week…at least. So, please stop by regularly to see what is going on with our family! For those of you who don't know, my husband and I have 5 kiddos. My daughter, the oldest and only girl, is 5. I have 3 year old twin boys and 1 year old twin boys. So, as you can already see, I will have lots to share!

In a shocking turn of events on November 14, Brittany Lennox, Director of External Affairs, Communications, and Research resigned from her position with the Board of Regents. Terms for student representatives are two years in length, Lennox resigned shortly after one year of her term.
The Board of Regents has been noted to be one of the most secretive boards with some of the most power in the university. While many other universities allow media to attend entire board of regents meetings, in the case of MUN, only invited members are allowed to stay for the whole time and media for a designated period of time in which nothing of much importance happens.
The board has been openly critiqued for being too secretive by many people, including Lennox, whose public resignation letter had more than half of the document redacted, which she cited was for "confidentiality purposes".
The board is responsible for the governance of the university, including discussing tuition models which could increase tuition that students pay currently at MUN. In an interview with Dr. Kachanoski, the president of MUN, over the summer, he said that the secretive nature of the board was nothing but normal practice and ensured the safety and privacy of the volunteer board members. Kachanoski assured that none of the members of the board are paid, and as a result, do not need to deal with the stresses of public meetings.
Iris Petten, chair of the board of regents, said in a public statement posted on the Gazette's website, "On Monday afternoon I unexpectedly received a resignation letter from one of our students who serve on the university's governing Board of Regents. It contained some very concerning statements about how she feels she was treated at the board meetings she attended over the past year. I was surprised by her allegations as she had never raised these important matters with me before. I immediately called and spoke with her to request a meeting to discuss in more detail her concerns and was awaiting her reply."
Petten suggested that the public manner in which Lennox handled the resignation was not appreciated, and she had hoped to quickly ameliorate the situation without the public being involved.
Petten concluded that the board would be looking into the allegations and ensuring that others do not feel the same as Lennox does.

I have often thought to myself while playing this game over and over again, now that Disney has the rights to do any Star Wars movie they want. Why not do a movie trilogy based on the Knights of the Old Republic series. I mean who would not want to watch what happened during the Mandolorian Wars, or see Bastila & Revan take on a hord of Rakghouls with lightsabers on the big screen. I think Star Wars should stop thinking about just making stories about Skywalker and his kids. There are other stories in this galaxy going on that Mr. Lucas created, and to be honest I am far more interested in the Malak & Revan story.
If this movie were to happen who would play all of the characters, well that is where I come in. I have compiled a list of some names who would be great considerations for each of these parts. Let's start of with the most important character of this story Revan, or as I named him in my Knights of the Republic game as, Reese Naver. Notice the N-A-V-E-R- spells Revan backwards. I thought it would be an interesting twist to go along with Revan's secret.
Revan as Jamie Dornan!
Who will be in the Fifty Shades of Grey Movies, but he just has a look to play a dark jedi knight to me. He would feel right for this role of Revan, and I think he could also portray the dark side part of Darth Revan rather well also.
Who would be a good consideration to play Bastila Shan!
Bastila Shan as Kate Beckinsale!
This is a no brainer as I have said many times that she would absolutely be able to easily do this part. She has the english accent already, and I'd just like to see her take on some rakghouls with a yellow double bladed staff saber. Just picture it in your immagination.
So with that said who should play Carth Onasi, I got the perfect guy who would be able to play Carth pretty well.
Carth Onasi as Chris O'Donell
I think he has the exact look that would give Carth a sarcastic, younger version of Han Solo. He also would play the parts of searching for his son pretty well also. If you have seen his work on NCIS LA, he already has the role of being a team leader down, so that would be easy for him to do for this trilogy as well.
Of course someone would have to play the viallainous Darth Malak, and I have thought of a very good choice to play Malak.
Darth Malak as Patrick Stewart
Just picture him with Darth Malak's gear on, and they would be able to do all of the lightsaber battles just like they did in the prequels. They would not need a voice actor to do voice dubbing either, Stewart has a deep voice who would make Malak a very good villain.
I think Canderous Ordo, Mission Vao, Jolee Bindo, Juhani, HK-47, & T3 all need to be in this movie as well. I just believe you get my point of the main characters and where I am going with this. The idea is possible, so if you would like to see this movie happen as well. Voice your opinion and let's see if we can convince Walt Disney to make this happen for us. As a long time Star Wars fan, would you also like me. Like to see other stories from the Star Wars universe on the big screen. Wouldn't you?
With that said I am out so until next time, TTFN, ta ta for now!

Apologies for the silence yesterday as I was (and still am) in the middle of a big project. Some of you might already know what I'm talking about.
Anyway, the biobased butanol industry is teeming with capacity scale-up with Gevo already commercially producing bio-isobutanol in Luverne, Minn.; Cathay Industrial Biotech already has commercial production facility for corn-based n-butanol in Jillin, China; Cobalt Technologies announced in April the successful scale-up of its biobased n-butanol pilot production; and yesterday, Green Biologics (GBL) announced that it has partnered with biofuel technology developer Easy Energy Systems to build a demonstration facility in Emmetsburg, Iowa, for the production of biobased n-butanol and acetone.
The companies will modify Easy Energy's current ethanol demonstration plant, which uses corn mash for feedstock. According to GBL, it has already successfully produced bio-butanol and acetone at the Iowa facility with a 40,000 liter fermentation scale in mid-2012. The demonstration runs reportedly validated GBL's fermentation performance at scale to meet their commercial targets.
GBL now plans to scale-up production to 80,000 liters (around 21,100 gallons) in Iowa, The company said the modified facility will allow GBL to scale and demonstrate the use of cellulosic biomass for bio-butanol production. Costs to modify the facility are also much lower compared to building a green field demo plant.
GBL plans significant investment in feedstock preparation, processing, product storage and process control. The company claims its advanced biocatalysts provides doubling of butanol production productivity with modest capital investment compared to existing ABE (acetone-butanol-ethanol) processes.
Last year, Green Biologics has already co-produced cellulosic-based n-butanol in Songyuan, China, with its partner Laihe Rockley Biochemical using corn waste for feedstock. The Chinese commercial trial run was completed in June 2012 at 3.2m liter fermentation scale in Laihe Rockley's one of three 50 ktpy units. Green Biologics imported 55 tons of the cellulosic n-butanol to the US in November last year and is now marketing sample materials for chemical applications such as in food/flavors, aromas, personal care and industrial cleaning products.
Finally about Easy Energy Systems, the company has this technology called Modular Energy Production Systems (MEPS) that converts waste and other feedstocks into biofuel. The Emmetsburg facility was already able to produce cellulosic ethanol using waste paper. Easy Energy designs, manufactures and sells the MEPS units.

This 27 year old patient opted for a breast augmentation with Moderate Profile Saline Implants, size 330cc. She had always felt that her breasts were too small for her frame, and wanted a natural look that would fill out clothing better. She now wears a size 34D bra, she loves the results, and also loves that she had a good idea on what to expect with the use of our Vectra3D Imaging System.

"Getting Tony under contract to remain a Diamondback has been on the front burner for several weeks,"
"I know Tony is feeling some pressure this week because Roger and I live here and our sponsor is based here. But I'd hate for Tony to put undue pressure on himself and try to do too much."
"I know that Tony feels an enormous amount of pressure going into this week and I think our entire crew does, unfortunately. I'd hate for them to put undue pressure on themselves."
"One thing I did was watch Tony Stewart through the week and watch some of the things he does from the time he makes his first lap in practice until he's done racing that weekend."
"It's just really disappointing - Tony went out and said all that stuff early in the week. If he's worried about peoples lives and he's going to wreck somebody at 190 mph, that's tough."

Speculation is growing that is about to start selling feature-length films for viewing on new iPods.
Rumours that the technology giant was about to launch a movie download service via its iTunes website have been circulating for some time.
These were further fuelled after the company sent out invitations to a media event next Tuesday cryptically showing Hollywood-style floodlights criss-crossing the Apple logo with the words 'It's showtime'.
Some US media reports claim Apple may even use the event to unveil an iPod with a bigger screen more suited to watching films and videos.
Disney rumours
It has also been widely reported that sources at several Hollywood studios have confirmed they are in talks to sell their films through Apple's iTunes.
The Washington Post has reported that Walt Disney Co – which includes Touchstone Pictures and Miramax Films – is already on board although the paper says it is still unclear whether all Disney studios would supply movies to iTunes initially.
Apple favours autumn launches so that it can get its products in shops in time for the lucrative Christmas market.
It launched the iPod Nano last September followed by the video iPod in October. This can hold around 150 hours of video which can watched on its 2.5 inch colour screen.
iPod phone
But the rumours surrounding Apple's latest venture aren't just confined to a possible movie download service.
There has also been speculation that Apple is working on an iPod mobile phone or a new iPod Nano with a metal finish.

The Price by Arthur Miller
The Price is a 1968 play by Arthur Miller. It is about family dynamics, the price of furniture and the price of one's decisions. The play premiered on Broadway in 1968, and has been revived three times on Broadway. It was nominated for two 1968 Tony Awards.
When the Great Depression cost his family their fortune, Victor Franz gave up his dream of an education to support his father. Three decades later, Victor has returned to his childhood home to sell the remainder of his parents' estate. His wife, his estranged brother, and the wily furniture dealer hired to appraise their possessions all arrive with their own agendas, forcing Victor to confront a question, long-stifled, about the value of his sacrifice.
One of the most personal plays by the consummate voice of the American everyman, Arthur Miller's The Price is a riveting story about the struggle to make peace with the past and create hope for the future. Steppenwolf co-founder Terry Kinney (reasons to be pretty) directs.

and I don't just mean because of the money spent on drinks!
There are the other things to consider before you even get out. Purchasing of a new outfit, make up, and getting treatments such as threading.
And then there are the taxi fares obviously. As well as others.
I rolled in at 6am yesterday morning after a very enjoyable clubbing session, I went to get straight into bed, put my hand in my pocket in order to get my mobile phone (cell phone) out of my pocket to ensure I put the alarm on due to being at work in the afternoon. When suddenly it dawned on me. I had no idea where the hell my phone was. I had a mini heart attack right there and then. I'd often had these before when I had misplaced my phone. But this time I had actually lost it.
My poor little fingers have been at their wits ends not having anything to twiddle with!
I couldn't ring it because the battery had died, I couldn't call the taxi company I had used because I had no idea which one I had used.
It's not so much the losing of the phone that bothers me, yeah I'll have to buy a replacement, but things like that are only materialistic, its the few photos, the songs, the emails and texts which are on it. The thought of someone being able to read my private messages. And the loss of contacts, and the trouble of having to get peoples numbers again and tell people that you have not been ignoring them, but have in fact been a total pleb and managed to lose the item that you normally guide with your life.
It's a huge inconvenience
Not only had I lost my mobile, but also my brand new cardigan and a friend. Not as in a loss of a friendship, lost as in I couldn't find her anywhere! She is safe, she slipped off to her boyfriends.
*P.s I recommend trying a cocktail called the Godfather - Beautiful!!!*

That's another one of my 101 list being completed.
Task #44 - Learn how to wear make up.
If you can ever actually "learn" to wear make up that is, I'm pretty much down with the basics of what I want to wear, which isn't a lot, (concealer, foundation, mascara, eye liner).

Get the facts about Louisiana Tech College food science, and registering for elective lectures. Which college degrees give you the best chances of finding employment after graduation? Qualifications for nursing programs vary widely. Learn about the various medical specializations available within technical training programs. Concentrating on Louisiana Tech College food science, for example, you may gain an advantage in job recruiting on-campus. Check with the nutrition department for course registration deadlines, and food technology program requirements. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Louisiana Tech College.
The science of nutrition extends beyond a biochemical analysis of food, assimilation, and digestion within the body. Whole foods provide the energy and nutrients you need to maintain health. Required nutrients include proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals, and water in abundance. Healthy eating isn't hard in fact, but it's a skill that must be learned. The key to nutritional science is to eat a variety of foods, including vegetables, fruits, and whole-grain products. Further, rehydrate with lots of alkaline, ionized mineral water, and limit your intake of salt, sugar, alcohol, saturated fat, and trans fat in your diet. The high water and fiber content in most fruits and vegetables makes them hard to overeat.
Start your morning by skipping high-sugar, processed cereals, and replace the eggs and some of the cheese in your omelet with vegetables. Swap out some of the meat and cheese in your sandwich with healthier veggie choices such as lettuce, tomatoes, sprouts, cucumbers, and avocado. Instead of a high-calorie snack, such as chips and dip, try baby carrots with hummus, or crunching on a fresh apple. Soft drinks including soda and energy drinks are a huge source of calories in many poor diets. One can of soda contains between 10-12 teaspoons of sugar and 150 calories, so a few soft drinks can quickly bloat your daily calorie intake. Switching to diet soda isn't the answer either. Instead, try switching to water with lemon, unsweetened iced tea, or carbonated water with a splash of juice. Beyond major requirements within the nutrition department, you may consider Leeward Community College surgical technology program as a complementary elective to your primary course of study.

Turquoise is being bankrolled by Citigroup, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley and UBS.
The seven banks have said that the new exchange will launch on 1 November this year, the same date as the European Union's Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (Mifid) comes into force.
Mifid enables investment banks to use any stock exchange in Europe to transact equities and other financial instruments. The directive also enables any number of new entrants, such as Project Turquoise, to compete with the exchanges for business.
EuroCCP will be headquartered in London.

Upon stepping into the real world for the first time upon graduating college, many students are finding that their pricey degrees may not be worth much more than the paper they're written on.
Fifth Third Bank recently offered to give some help to those who have recently acquired their degree, in the form of $1,000,000 of job market training to 2015 college graduates. Stating that over half of recent American college graduates possess no full-time job, this company decided it was time to step up and do something about it – just in time for graduation season.
Advertisement - story continues below
This doesn't mean that over fifty percent of these people have no jobs, but it does mean that over half are getting back less than what they were told they were going to receive when they started off on their college journey. They can only find part-time work, low-paying work, or jobs that do not technically require a Bachelors Degree.
The 2015 job market isn't only a tough one for recent college grads, but for all Americans. While the Obama Administration has been patting itself on the back lately for bringing the unemployment rate down from 10 percent to 5.5 percent (still higher than before Barry took office) as of February 2015, the reason for that is not actually because more Americans have gotten jobs. Two of the world's most respect economists, David Blanchflower of Dartmouth College and Andrew Levin of the International Monetary Fund, recently published an article explaining how liberals have lowered the unemployment rate without actually lowering unemployment. They point out that the unemployment rate fell sharply in 2010 and 2011 not because more Americans found work, but because Americans stopped looking for work. As a result of how our government calculates the unemployment rate, these people who stopped looking were taken out of labor force statistics, which removes them from the pool of unemployed citizens as well. Forbes reports that this means "true unemployment rate in the U.S. would be somewhere between 7.4 and 9.4 percent, rather than 5.5 percent."
TRENDING: LiAngelo Ball Tells Truth About The Day He Said 'Thank You' To President
A $1,000,000 publicity stunt by Fifth Third Bank probably isn't going to fix the job market all on its own, but at least it's something.
What do you think? Good marketing, a sincere attempt to help America's future, or both? Let us know in the comments below.
