Iran to Join LNG Club
Iran is projected to officially join the LNG Exporters Club in the next two years, managing Director of National Iranian Oil Company Rokneddin Javadi was quoted as saying by Mehr News Agency. Establishing new LNG production units instead of constructing pipeline tops Iran's agenda for transferring gas to Europe, since economic calculations reveal LNG production is more economically efficient give the market's current state, he said. Currently, natural gas transmission through pipelines for a distance over 2500 km is not technically or economically profitable, Rokneddin said. Emphasizing that the setting up of LNG production in the country is affected by technology and investment, Rokneddin noted "accordingly, we have begun negotiations with countries possessing technology of gas liquefaction and production of LNG units ." Meanwhile, three foreign companies are reportedly keen to purchase an Iran LNG Company plant to complete it. A Chinese, an Arabian and a European company are keen to acquire an Iran LNG plant to complete it, accodring to a source, who said that Iran LNG plant needs "significant investment and it will take two years to complete". This plant's capacity is projected to be 10.5 million metric tons per year of LNG production, earning the country more than $7 billion annually.

Nkiruka Grant no longer has her beloved uncle Ashantio Sealy to play with her everyday or watch her favourite shows on the computer with her. Last Sunday, 35-year-old Ashantio lost his life while swimming at Long Bay, St Phillip. Yesterday, as the family spoke from their Bentham's, Wellhouse, St Philip home, his father Samuel Sealy said that the loss was proving very challenging for the entire family but moreso for Ashantio's four-year-old autistic niece Nkiruka, with whom he spent a lot of time. "He loved his niece; he would always play with her. "She is looking for him. Even though she cannot say, 'Where is uncle', she would go and open his bedroom, then she started to get miserable. She knows that something is not right with all the different people coming to the house," Sealy said.

Review: 3 PhoneGap toolkits tame mobile app development
Adobe PhoneGap, AppGyver Steroids, and Telerik Icenium simplify app development, but shine brightest at debugging and app distribution
Telerik Icenium
Telerik is offering a complete collection of tools to turn your ideas into an app. You can write your code in your browser, host it in Telerik's cloud, then let the cloud build it into a completed app. All of this is centered around Apache Cordova at the core.
The most significant parts of the offering are the IDEs called Mist (browser) and Graphite (Windows), along with a new extension for Visual Studio I didn't try. Mist and Graphite seem functionally equivalent to me, and I wasn't surprised to find that the projects I created in Mist started appearing in Graphite. Both offer a screen split between a file navigator and an editor. The editor can toggle between a text-based HTML editor and a visual tool for dragging and dropping widgets.
There were some glitches. The editor wouldn't work with several views, claiming they weren't proper HTML5. The complaints kept coming even when I deleted all the various DIVs inside. Sometimes it was simpler to work with the HTML instead of the designer.
I also found myself defaulting to the built-in debugger in the browser. Firebug and Safari's debugger are incredible, and it will be some time before anything will be as good as them.
The main difference between the Icenium tools is access to the hardware. The Windows IDE (Graphite) can access the hardware through the USB port, whereas the browser-based IDE (Mist) can't. The tools seem to be evolving. They make it easy to drag widgets into place, but you still need to read the HTML and think about the structure. I found I had to remember what was going on in the HTML layer to understand how to put together all the widgets correctly.
This limitation isn't as important as it might be, because there's a third part of the equation: Ion, a tool that works to deploy and update your app just like AppGyver does. You download Ion for free from the App Store, and it sucks up the HTML/JavaScript/CSS that comprises your app. Debugging and deploying is as simple as it is with AppGyver.
A new part of the equation is Icenium's cloud-based back end, known as Everlive. The service, currently called a "preview," mixes in a big collection of data storage services meant to simplify development. Telerik is pairing data storage and "user management" with the distribution of your app. It only takes a few lines of code to let each of your users log into the cloud and store information there. That's a nice set of features.
Telerik has selected two main frameworks to support: Kendo UI and jQuery Mobile. You don't need to choose these libraries to distribute your code, but extra features -- such as drag-and-drop functionality in Mist -- work with the Kendo UI framework only.
Pricing starts at $20 per month for a basic account and rises to $120 a month for the "ultimate" tier. There are substantial discounts for a prepaid annual plan, as well as a nice free trial that lasts for 30 days.

Super Rugby
They're 10,966 kilometres from home and massive outsiders for Saturday night's Super Rugby semi-final, but Sharks coach Jake White thinks conditions could play into his side's hands.
The Durban-based team know if they want any chance of stunning the Crusaders for the second time this season, they need to stick to their strengths.
On a cold Christchurch night, the Sharks will be aiming to retain possession, build up pressure and utilise their dominant scrum and rolling maul.
The long kicking games of fullback SP Marais and backline general Francois Steyn will also be integral as they seek to play the game in the right areas of the field.
"It will be the same as what's been working for us," White said yesterday.
"In knockout rugby, you go back to the things that have been working for you and we've done those things consistently well throughout the year."
White was quick to point out his side had much more to their game than a clinical set piece. If the Crusaders turned ball over in their own half, he hoped they could capitalise.
"One would like to believe there's more to our game. The Crusaders are probably the most conservative team in New Zealand and they're consistently the best of the five New Zealand franchises.
"You've got to play to the strengths you have."
The Sharks will draw a wealth of confidence from their 30-25 triumph at AMI Stadium in May.
They were forced to overcome the adversity of losing flanker Jean Deysel to a red card in the 16th minute after he stamped on the face of Crusaders loose forward Jordan Taufua. Sharks loose forward Willem Alberts was also sinbinned in the second half for a professional foul.
White was apologetic post-match after Deysel's brain explosion. He had not had to stress the importance of discipline this week.
"It was a one-off, I think. It's not something to be proud about. It's a new week and we've got to make sure we're mindful of the fact that we've got to get a result this weekend."
White acknowledged it would be a completely different fixture on Saturday night. The Sharks respected a Crusaders team with 13 past or present All Blacks, but were not overawed by them.
"We beat them last year in Durban and we beat them this year. The reality is, this group of players have won home and away against the same batch of [Crusaders] players.
"We're confident about the fact if we play properly we can beat anybody anywhere and that's what we've got to believe, otherwise you're wasting your time."

hi there,
My husband and I are expecting our first child in April of next year, and would like to get away on a 'babymoon' in mid to late November. We are from Toronto, Ontario and are flexible to travel across the United States. We are looking for a 4+ star resort that has GREAT food, a beautiful spa and ideally is set in nature setting or large property where we can go for hikes, walks and just enjoy the fresh air. I'm sure there are some nice places in Vermont, NY state, Colorado - but don't really know where to start. We aren't too worried about the weather, and understand given the trip is in November we are likely going somewhere that ranges between 10 and 20oC. Does anyone have any recommendations?
Thanks so much,

hi there,

We love Devil's Thumb Ranch and Spa, in Tabernash, Colorado.
It is everything you describe. The service there is at the level of a Ritz. Pricey, but it could have some specials in November, before Thanksgiving.
The Ranch House restaurant there is exquisite. And Heck's tavern is in the gorgeous rock and timber lodge building.
The entire property is Eco-friendly, set back from the highway a few miles in ranching country. Very peaceful.
They have horses, hiking, and cross-country skiing on property. Their vans will take you on outings, too. Highly recommended.
I took pictures there, of my King room, which I could email to you, if wanted. A friend's DD had a wonderful wedding and reception there this June.

ReviewI was impressed the first time I drove
this truck by the smothness of the
2500 HD 4 wheel drive. Much improved
over previous model's ride. Although
the truck still has less than 700
miles I have notice that the gas
mileage is improving as the miles add
up. The progamable features which
allow custom features is much better
than the fixed features of earlier
models. Power and towing is
impressive. I have towed my John
Deere tractor (6000 lb + 2500 trailer)
up an gravel road incline on my ranch
and the truck did not show any signs
of slipage of the transmission or lack
of torque from the engine.
Best FeaturesWow! This is a hard question to single out one item. But I guess the programable features is number one. The electronic 4 wheel drive selection is number 2. The engine and transmission combination is number 3. Body tighness and style is number 4.
Worst FeaturesThis may be picky but, I miss little things like the underhood light, and the retractable cord work light even though I only used them twice on my old 1988 truck.

AZUSA, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 07/28/14 -- The spacious single family homes at Christopher Homes' Wisteria at Rosedale are nearly sold out. Prospective homebuyers are encouraged to visit the sales office immediately before this opportunity is gone forever. Buyers who act quickly can still purchase some of the largest single family home designs within the San Gabriel Valley's #1 master-planned community in Azusa, each of which represents Christopher Homes' signature upscale elegance.
Today's demanding homebuyer has elevated expectations for home design, convenience and an environment that lends itself to an enviable style of living. All of these expectations are met and surpassed at Wisteria. With only a limited number of these homes remaining, Wisteria continues to impress discerning homebuyers with its air of elegance, surrounded by a pristine natural setting and a master-planned community rich with amenities for the whole family to enjoy. The neighborhood presents three floorplans ranging from approximately 2,887 to 3,548 square feet of carefully crafted living space with 4 to 6 bedrooms, up to 5.5 bathrooms, 2-car garages with added storage and an array of extra features.
Second-floor lofts and bonus rooms provide homeowners with large, open areas creating the ideal setting for casual gatherings with family and friends; the thoughtful design offers great flexibility.
Large secondary bedrooms, including some with ensuite bathrooms and attached private suites are also featured in various plans within the neighborhood. A desirable first-floor master suite, that comes standard in Wisteria's Residence 2X, is the perfect place for guests and in-laws, while a second upstairs master suite is a valuable addition that provides homeowners an additional level of livability. The neighborhood's Residence 3, features a private, three-room suite that offers approximately 360 square feet of space. Located just steps from the activity core of the home, this suite is ideal for families with college students living at home or multi-generational living arrangements. For more detailed information about these remarkable homes priced from the $800,000's and to stay informed on the latest neighborhood news, homeshoppers should log on to www.livewisteria.com.
"From the beginning we felt we were creating a very special community of homes that would fulfill buyers' wishes for a dream home in an ideal environment," noted Jaime Todd, Director of Sales and Marketing for Christopher Homes. "When we opened for sales we knew our designs were a winner. Many favorable comments were made about our downstairs master suite, the included outdoor California Room that allows residents to take full advantage of our wonderful climate and the private three-room suite in the Residence Three which recognizes the needs of extended families. Wisteria has sold so quickly, I'd advise anyone interested in owning one of these beautiful new homes to act now, before we're all sold out."
Nestled in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains, amidst 518 sprawling acres, including 290 acres set aside for open space, Rosedale offers a classic environment of walkable new home neighborhoods amid a backdrop of park and plaza spaces. Resort-inspired recreation includes The Resort, a 4,500 square-foot private clubhouse and two-acre recreation center, the future 5.5-acre Promenade Park, nine neighborhood parks, and scenic trails. Situated near the I-10 and 210 Corridor, Rosedale is a tranquil retreat that is easily accessible to urban Los Angeles. The future Metro Gold Line boarding station slated for completion in late 2015 will also provide another transportation option and will be within walking distance for residents of Rosedale. Inspired by the past with its focus on the future, Rosedale is the newest and finest master-planned community for brand new home living in the San Gabriel Valley. For more details, please visit

Early adopters of IoT viewed it mainly as a different term for machine-to-machine connectivity or M2M. This is understandable since a prerequisite for any IoT solution is the ability to collect and aggregate device data, which is most often presented in a dashboard. The problem is that viewing data in a dashboard requires a human to interpret the results and take manual action, which doesn't scale to the needs of IoT.

Compressed natural gas station proposed for Lake Forest
LAKE FOREST – An empty lot off I-5 at El Toro Road could become home to the city's first compressed natural gas vehicle fueling station.
The lot's property owners are leasing the one-third acre site to FirstCNG, which plans to build and operate a CNG fueling station there, according to a report by city staffers.
The station would be unmanned, though remotely monitored for security, and open to the public at all times, FirstCNG Chief Executive Officer Kirk Honour said.
Compressed natural gas is growing in popularity with drivers because it is cheaper and burns more cleanly than diesel and gasoline, Honour said.
Orange County has 16 stations offering natural gas that are open to the public, according to the South Coast Air Quality Management District. About 2,300 vehicles countywide, such as buses, street sweepers and cabs, use the alternative fuel, the air quality agency estimated.
While vehicles fueled by natural gas are pricier than those that run on liquid fuel, natural gas costs on average one-third less than conventional gasoline, according to the state's Air Resources Board.
That makes the alternative fuel an attractive option for people who rack up mileage, such as taxi drivers, Honour said. Vehicles that run on CNG are not widely available to the public, however, with the Honda Civic GX the only one available for purchase.
Gas for the Lake Forest station would be supplied by Southern California Gas Co. via an existing underground pipeline along El Toro Road.
State and local grants will pay for a portion of the cost of the station, Honour said.
According to a city staff report FirstCNG would lease the site for a decade, with the option to extend the lease for seven years. At the 17 year mark, the lease's expiration would coincide with the expiration of leases held by adjacent businesses, according to the report. Concurrent expirations would give the landowners the option of redeveloping the area.
The site FirstCNG is eyeing was last occupied by a traditional gas station, which was demolished in 1994, according to the city report.
The city's Planning Commission is set to hold a public hearing on the proposal Thursday.
The meeting begins at 7 p.m. at City Hall, 25550 Commercentre Drive.

Broadview Networks, a leading provider of hosted voice, data and cloud computing solutions, has joined with RCA, one of the most recognized names in the electronics industry, to roll out a new hosted communications service specifically designed for small and home-based businesses.
The RCA IP Phone Service is powered by Broadview Networks, an experienced and proven provider of award-winning cloud-based phone services. The new service was designed to provide small companies with next-generation phones and features to optimize their businesses' performance. It is the first service from Broadview to be available in retail stores.
"Our bundle of IP phones and broadband phone service will afford small businesses a far more powerful way to communicate with their customers and coworkers while bringing real cost savings to the bottom line," said President of Telefield North America, Dwight Sakuma, a licensor of the RCA brand. "Teaming up with Broadview Networks, a leading IP service provider, allows us to differentiate the RCA telephone, while making the whole process of getting up and running simple and easy. This provides our retail partners with a unique selling proposition."
"With over 100,000 users of our cloud-based phone service, RCA IP Phone Service customers will benefit from Broadview's expertise in designing and operating enterprise-grade, but easy-to-use, phone systems and service," said Broadview Networks' President and Chief Executive Officer, Michael K. Robinson. "We are proud to have been selected by RCA to provide their new hosted IP phone service nationwide."
The new RCA IP Phone Service is simple to set up and manage and provides the mobility and flexibility needed to successfully operate a small business in today's world. This new offering will provide small businesses with many features formerly reserved for large, proprietary PBX systems, while saving them as much as 50% compared to their traditional phone service.
The system is also completely customizable and scalable for companies with multiple offices and changing business needs. By moving all the features of the phone system to the RCA-hosted service, companies can easily set up remote locations and offer direct-extension dialing to an employee's home office.
Activating the RCA Broadband phone service is easy – simply plug the phone into the Internet and visit rca4business.com to sign up. Included in the monthly service are numerous features, including a digital receptionist, customizable voicemail, voicemail delivery over e-mail, music on hold, call transfer and caller ID with name. Users can make changes to their system preferences via an intuitive self-management website, and features like cell phone twinning ensure that employees will never miss a call.
"This new service gives small businesses the features needed to meet their business objectives," said Broadview's Chief Operating Officer, Brian Crotty. "With cutting-edge features like web-enabled voicemail, as well as traditional ones like call transfer and music on hold, employees and their managers will have new tools to manage their business and connect with customers. Broadview is proud to provide large business features not traditionally available to small businesses at an affordable cost. Long distance to the U.S. and Canada is included and backed by our customer satisfaction guarantee."
The RCA small business phone system offers the following features:
- Digital IP phones
- Broadview's award-winning, cloud-based phone service
- Unlimited long distance to the U.S. and Canada
- Web-enabled voicemail
- Direct dialing to extensions
- Music on hold

- Call groups
- Full-duplex speakerphone
- "Do not disturb" option

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries. Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle certain kinds of queries, but they are not always well suited to many problems, particularly when there is a need for real-time insights.

In a Quiet Market for PCs, Chromebooks are Marching Steadily Forward
It's no secret that Chrome OS has not been the same striking success for Google that the Android OS has been. And yet, Chromebooks--portable computers running the platform--have not only found their niche, but they are also introducing a new generation to cloud computing. Chromebooks are firmly entrenched in the education market, where many young users have become used to the convention of storing apps and data in the cloud. Now, according to new research from Gartner, Chromebooks are ready to hit new milestones. Analysts there report that Chromebook shipment growth will be in the double digits this year. At the same time, though, Chromebooks have not become fixtures in the enterprise, replacing Windows PCs.

HSBC has agreed to pay a record US$1.92 billion (NZ$2.3 billion) fine to settle a multi-year probe by United States prosecutors, who accused Europe's biggest bank of failing to enforce rules designed to prevent the laundering of criminal cash.
HSBC Holdings admitted to a breakdown of controls and apologised in a statement overnight announcing it had reached a deferred-prosecution agreement with the US Department of Justice, as first reported by Reuters last week.
"We accept responsibility for our past mistakes. We have said we are profoundly sorry for them, and we do so again. The HSBC of today is a fundamentally different organisation from the one that made those mistakes," said Chief Executive Stuart Gulliver.
"Over the last two years, under new senior leadership, we have been taking concrete steps to put right what went wrong and to participate actively with government authorities in bringing to light and addressing these matters."
The deferred prosecution agreement, when detailed by US Justice Department officials later today, could yield new information about a failure at HSBC to police transactions linked to Mexico, sources familiar with the matter said.
Details of those dealings were reported this summer in a sweeping US Senate probe.
The Senate panel alleged that HSBC failed to maintain controls designed to prevent money laundering by drug cartels, terrorists and tax cheats, when acting as a financier to clients routing funds from places including Mexico, Iran and Syria.
The bank was unable to properly monitor US$15 billion (NZ$18 billion) in bulk cash transactions between mid-2006 and mid-2009, and had inadequate staffing and high turnover in its compliance units, July's report said.
HSBC said it expected to also reach a settlement with British watchdog the Financial Services Authority. The FSA declined to comment.
US and European banks have now agreed to settlements with US regulators totaling some US$5 billion (NZ$6 billion) in recent years on charges they violated US sanctions and failed to police potentially illicit transactions.
No bank or bank executives, however, have been indicted, as prosecutors have instead used deferred prosecutions - under which criminal charges against a firm are set aside if it agrees to conditions such as paying fines and changing behaviour.
HSBC's settlement also includes agreements or consent orders with the Manhattan district attorney, the Federal Reserve and three US Treasury Department units: the Office of Foreign Assets Control, the Comptroller of the Currency and the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network.
HSBC said it would pay US$1.921 billion (NZ$2.3 billion), continue to cooperate fully with regulatory and law enforcement authorities and take further action to strengthen its compliance policies and procedures. US prosecutors have agreed to defer or forego prosecution.
The settlement is the third time in a decade that HSBC has been penalised for lax controls and ordered by US authorities to better monitor suspicious transactions. Directives by regulators to improve oversight came in 2003 and again in 2010.
Last month, HSBC told investors it had set aside US$1.5 billion (NZ$1.8 billion) to cover fines or penalties stemming from the inquiry and warned costs could be significantly higher.
Analyst Jim Antos of Mizuho Securities said the settlement costs were "trivial" in terms of the company's book value.
"But in terms of real cash terms, that's a huge fine to pay," said Antos, who rates HSBC a "buy".
HSBC shares dipped 0.3 per cent in early London trading to 639 pence, in line with a slightly weaker European bank index. Its Hong Kong stock nudged up 0.3 per cent to HK$79.70.
"It has been damaging for the brand, albeit not as bad as it might have been," said Ian Gordon, analyst at Investec Securities in London.
"Is it absorbable? Yes. Is it significant? Yes. But in the absence of a broader attack on the business structure or individuals, that explains why the market reaction has been relatively muted today and has been since the allegations came out," he added.

Let's Stop The Cycle Of Suffering.
I think we can all agree that the world is in utter chaos, and on the precipice of major transformation.
It is heart wrenching to witness all of the crazy-making and to learn week after week of such horrific violence and hatred.
It's so easy to become apathetic or consumed with all of the darkness and negativity.
However, in the midst of a global crisis, I believe this is an opportunity for us to be the change we need to see in the world.
It's time to make a commitment to free ourselves from our own internal suffering so we can make a difference in this world, one transformation at a time.
By examining your own internal thought life you can help to heal it through forgiveness and love so you can release it once and for all.
The truth of the matter is no person full of joy, peace and love in their hearts would consciously hurt another human being.
The great poet Rumi once said that, "the cure for pain, is in the pain itself".
Therefore, we must have the courage to face our karmic thought patterns and behaviours so that we are consciously aware of the reality that is both inside us and around us.
Self awareness is the first step to inner transformation.
I believe with all my heart that you have the power to deliver yourself from negative, repetitive thought patterns that are getting in the way of you living your highest, most vibrant self.
This is about finding inner peace when you let go of your history.
This is an enlightening conversation that we can all join in together, to become more aware of our own self-defeating thoughts so we can stop the cycle of suffering.
Who doesn't want to feel lighter and experience more joy?
Everyone is worthy of everything wonderful and fantastic in this life.
You can change the trajectory of your life by identifying your recurring thought patterns and habits that are getting in the way of your evolution.
It gives you the power to shift your life towards more joy, flow, and ease.
Relax into the thought of what it would feel like to be bright-eyed and hopeful for a better life. To believe with everything in your spirit that life is working for you, not against you. To know that love is always present, even in the storms of life.
Your thoughts have no meaning other than the meaning that you give them, and they are formed through the lens of your past conditioned beliefs.
The only thing real is love, and any unloving thoughts are a figment of your imagination.
Would you open your heart and mind to receive this? Could you?
You can use the following steps to help you stop your own cycle of suffering:
The first step is awareness.
The next step is forgiveness, by letting go of the past.
Third, discipline your mind to stay completely present, open, and clear so that a new story can begin to unfold.
It really can be that simple.
You can start by simply observing which thoughts keep recurring, and log them. A journal is a great way to record and pay attention to the words that you use during the day.
For example, a couple of key words to be mindful of, that can keep you stuck in the past:
"I used to be,"
"I remember when,"
"I was,"
All of these words indicate that one is living in the past, and clinging to an illusion of what was instead of what is.
This can cause a lot of suffering and pain, because we are not living in reality, which is right now. Furthermore, we keep manifesting the illusion in the future, which leads to emptiness because it is not true.
When you have the courage to lovingly let go of the past, you can begin to end the cycle of pain, and place yourself on a new path.
A new experience free of your past pain, and an opportunity to choose again, and move towards a greater life experience.
Will you join me today and make a commitment to yourself to become more aware of your daily thoughts that are causing you pain?
Are you willing to do the work?
The light and love is there within us all, it's who we are, but we must move through the darkness first, in order to see the light.
To freedom,
Abby xo

Kasenna has announced a new VOD server cluster that enables VOD service providers and cable operators to lower deployment and management costs for metro-scale triple play offerings.
Using mainstream Web-farm style clustering technologies with built-in redundancy and reliability, the cluster can power 1/2-million subscriber deployments from a single video head office using MPEG-4 AVC streams encoded at 2.5Mb/s. The benchmark tests used 12 dual processor servers based on the 64-bit Intel Xeon processor (3.4GHz) powered by Kasenna MediaBase version 8.1 software.
Achieving 144Gb/s of streaming capacity equates to 57,600 MPEG-4 streams at 2.5 Mb/s per stream and 38,400 MPEG-2 streams using 3.75Mb/s encoding (Cable Labs specification).
The benchmark was observed under real-world demand conditions using actual traffic from a VOD deployment and all mainstream components — loosely coupled Linux servers, standard file systems, and standard Gigabit Ethernet interconnections. Kasenna's Stream Clustering technology incorporates several algorithms for pre-caching, hot-spot measurements, load averaging and request arrival predictions.
