Finally, after an eternity of waiting, it came. Just a couple of days ago, Rizin's blockbuster event blasted us with a laser of nostalgia and a fireball of action.
There were few things this card didn't have: two legends, the immense ex-Sumo Baruto, the insane Charles Bennett and not-to-mention awesome fights. It was a unique event that could only be birthed from the dormant cocoon of Pride. This was a must-see card for hardcore Japanese MMA mainstays from the days of yore and new MMA fans, alike.
Join Champions.co in reviewing the five craziest things from Rizin this weekend.
5. The Opening Ceremony
With more lights than the Pink Floyd Laser Light Show, the Rizin opening was a spectacle that may have needed a seizure warning before it. No one does production like Japanese MMA, and that is still evident after all these years. The lasers and the pyro were awesome, but what brings it all together is the crazy announcer voice that sounds reminiscent of a heavy metal band's vocals. There is truly nothing else like it.
4. The Great Cup Noodle Prize
Kanako Murata defeated Kyra Batara by a unanimous decision after a dominating performance. However, that takes a backseat to what happened after she was victorious. Murata was awarded a year supply of Cup Noodle, from Cup Noodle Taitei a.k.a. Cup Noodle the Great himself! Its appearance is a tie-in celebration of Cup Noodle's 45th anniversary. The character was created by Takashi Shimada and Yoshinori Nakai, the creators of the super popular manga, Kinnikuman.
3. Yamamoto and Saiga's Fight of the Night
One of the best moments of the Rizin event put young prospects into the spotlight, and they did not disappoint. Probably the best display of martial arts on the entire card, Erson Yamamoto and Kizaemon Saiga elevated the technicality and showmanship with their five-star fight. While Rizin seems to be making sure to preserve the best parts of MMA's past, it is also assuring us that Japanese MMA's future is bright and in good hands. This was only Yamamoto's second professional fight, but his inexperience was nonexistent. Perhaps that comes from his fighting Yamamoto bloodine. This was the first card ever where a mother and son fought on the same event. Of special note: He is Kid Yamamoto's nephew.
2. Impromptu Live Bout Negotiation
The only thing that was crazier than Mirko Cro Cop winning his fight with Hyun Man Myung by submission, was what happened afterwards. Cro Cop called out Wanderlei Silva to fight in the next round of the tournament. In other organizations, we'd just get a hard cam of the potential opponent reaction, at best. At Rizin? They stopped everything and started a public business transaction governed by officiating bodies. Rizin's matchmaker, Nobuhiko Takada and president, Nobuyuki Sakakibara made everything official right then and there. Cro Cop will fight Silva on December 29th.
1. Everything Charles Bennett Did
By far the craziest thing at Rizin—and probably to ever happen in MMA—was absolutely everything Charles "Felony" Bennett did from start to finish.
As soon as this man got to Japan, he and Wanderlei Silva reignited their feud from 2005. This led to Silva cornering fellow Brazilian Minoru Kimura in his fight with Bennett, who arrived in the arena wearing a shirt that said "Who Needs an Old Axe" in Sharpie. Bennett dismantled Kimura in a lighting-fast seven seconds, did two massive back flips and then likely gave the most ridiculous promo in MMA history.
The wild antics didn't stop there. After his $300k callout of Silva, they came to blows backstage. Pride never die and Bennett never sane.
If You Missed it:
If you still haven't been witness to the full extravagance of Rizin, you can watch the replay of the entire, six-hour event on EverSport. Watch while you still can!

iwsg #6 december
~Jennifer~ | 12:00 PM | insecure writer's support group | NaNoWriMo
Hey everyone and welcome to my sixth IWSG post! The IWSG is the brainchild of Alex J. Cavanaugh (I've been waiting for an awesome opportunity to throw "brainchild" into a sentence, lol) where writers can express their highs and lows throughout the process of writing. If you'd like to join, visit Alex's blog at the link above. You'll be so thankful when you do. :)
I missed last month when I got sucked into NaNoWriMo, and then I almost missed this month because I've just returned to Earth after falling off of it. I didn't make it to the end of NaNoWriMo--I didn't even meet the halfway mark, but after some time grieving over my loss, I'm okay with it. I have more of a draft to work with than I did on October 31st. My husband even bought me a super cute purple monster flash drive to cheer me up cause he's just that awesome. :)
It was cool to take a break from writing my memoir and work on some fiction. My novel is tentatively titled Violet and takes place where zombies and humans coexist side by side. There are rogue zombies who don't want any part of "normal" society and trying to fit in with humans. I have been seriously giving thought to having the story take place in the 60's with riots concerning zombies being drafted into the Vietnam War instead of human beings. I haven't quite worked out all of my plans yet. At this point, anything can happen!
Did you participate in NaNoWriMo this year? Have you in the past? How did your month turn out for you?
Labels: insecure writer's support group, NaNoWriMo
If I'm not reading, then I'm writing about books. If I'm not reading or writing, then I'm thinking about books. You get the idea. In addition to books, I love dyeing my hair various colors, getting tattoos, and listening to music mostly from the 60s/90s.

Inwood, Manhattan is brimming with the most pleasant restaurants for millennials, centennials, Gen Xers and baby boomers. Good people from all generations can find their food here. Local New Yorkers have been posting delicious stories on LinkedIn from the following restaurants. The hype is reaching epic proportions as new cafes and saloons pop up constantly to satisfy our hunger.
Nevertheless, the restaurateurs in Inwood, Manhattan still don't get the nationwide acclaim they have earned. All that aside, real New Yorkers love their restaurateurs and appreciate how they don't try to be something they are not.
This place might be tiny compared to Chicago, but with so many sustainable ingredients on the menu, the restaurants punch above their weight class. Here are the best restaurants for you even if you are a salad lover or a greasy sandwich fiend.
You will like how these chefs often incorporate ingredients from farms near Inwood, Manhattan in their appetizers. They also try to source seafood from hearty Maine fishermen when they can afford it. We sure prefer the restaurants that cook up savory dishes mixed with sweet yet sour accents. Be sure to seek these treats out.
We would never waste any of your time with second-rate restuarants. So we cut down the list and only are presenting the most legit restaurants in Inwood, Manhattan. Rock on. Grub on.

Diane from Powhatan Va writes,
Can Niban be put in trays in attic and when would they need to be replaced?
Large attic with silverfish problem in some areas. Grandchildren occasionally like to go get things from the attic so I want to use removable trays instead of spreading around. How long will it last?
Niban can be put in removable bait trays such as a bait plate station in the attic area. You should plan on replacing the bait every couple of months to ensure it is still fresh.

I am now a member of No 31 (City of Wagga Wagga) Squadron. This squadron has a long proud history, dating back to its formation in Wagga on 14 Aug 1942. They were very active during WWII flying Bristol Beaufighter aircraft and based in exotic places like Coomalie Creek (where I dedicated a plaque about 10 years ago), Noemfoor and Moratai before being disbanded on 06 Jul 1946. On 01 Jul 2010 this SQN was again stood up, however the WOD tells me that we are the only SQN in the RAAF that does not have a squadron crest!
We are in the process of fixing that but why? What difference does it make? We need to know who we are! Military history in particular and human history in general recognises that our identification with a military unit, community and country, requires a concrete rallying point, a symbol, a flag to draw us together and unify us in our common cause.
The fact is, that sense of identification is also important to us as individuals, because we all need to know who we are and where we fit. Hugh Mackay in his recent book called "What Makes Us Tick" suggests that this is "one of the ten desires that drive us". Do you know who you are? What symbols give your life meaning and draw the best out of you?
My experience is that it is only as we connect with who we are that we will be able to effectively connect with others. It seems to me that those who lack this self awareness, who are struggling with grief and loss due to death or divorce or even for some, the effects of joining the military are most at risk to a range of mental health issues. At one end of this spectrum would be mild depression, while at the other end would be a level of hopelessness which may result in suicidal thoughts.
So what can we do about it? How do we find ourselves and recover from the traumatic events that have left us feeling lost? The first step is to find someone you trust to talk to who will help you to tell your story. People such as Chaplains, Medical and Psychologists might be able to help you with this. The next step is to find some creative way to symbolise who you are and where you fit in the world. That might be a self portrait, a collage of photographs, or something else you might make that has meaningful symbolism for you. You are only limited by your own imagination!
Finally, I want to assure you that you are unique, special, and loved by God. Although you may feel alone, your family does love you, your unit does care, and the RAAF wants to help you through your struggles. You are part of a rich tradition, remember your history, encourage one another and value the symbols we share together. In your spare time you might like to design a new 31 SQN crest!

I've been training shotokan karate for 7 months now - already done 2 gradings . I'm planning to add JUDO or BJJ. Which one is a better style?
What do you think of this link?

Yes, interesting article, but it leaves out many of the defeats Judokas suffered at the hands of BJJ stylists.
We've even got an old video of the Gracies mopping up an entire Judo Dojo to the point the instructor has to ask them to stop using Newaza because it's "too dangerous".
Both Judo and BJJ have strengths. I personally feel BJJ is more practical in situations where someone actually wants to kill you. The U.S. Military is instructing its soldiers in BJJ now.
Judo is primarily a sport martial art, whereas BJJ is designed to be of use in practical application. Yes, there are sport BJJ competitions, but the focus of the art itself is to allow a smaller, weaker opponent to defend against a stronger heavier attacker, which is what few martial arts (especially striking arts) can legitimately claim to do.
9/11/2002 2:36pm, #5MichaelGuest--
I hate agreeing with Phrost because he's wrong half the time (bwhahahahahaha.) but BJJ is usually more complete compared to Judo. Judo is more sports orientated these days and to tell you the truth so is BJJ but they deal with more technique.

I have to disagree with Phrost and Micheal
First off BJJ comes from Judo.
There are more SPORT BJJ schools I've seen then anything.
I've seen more pple defend themselves with Judo and win than BJJ. I've personaly have used Judo more than BJJ.
The way they are practiced now BJJ and Judo deal mainly with the SPORT aspect.
The majority of BJJ players are bandwagon jumpers. They learn the basics then go out and get their buts kicked, tales of 6 month BJJ gusy going out and kicking everyones butt have been LIES as far as I've seen. The students that have stuck around have had better results. The majority of the Judo players tend to stay with it for a while.
I've seen Judo as much better suited for self defense.
BJJ is good but if someone was actually trying to kill you then I would go for Judo, acutally I would go for a Berreta 92D.
>The U.S. Military is instructing its soldiers in BJJ now.
The ARMY is the only really incoporating BJJ, which I might had many pple disagree with. I am a ARMY combatives instructor. Myself and several others have raised the issue that newaza isn't a good idea for soldiers in full battle rattle. USMC has been looking into aspects of okinawan MA and Judo. All the combatives programs are still undergoing some changes sense they been implemented. The AF has also started some more MA training, not exactly sure what they are doing but they are hiring out to civilian instructors in Florida. From the segement on the training it seems pretty hard core. They train in a classroom/dojo enviorment then have practical exercises in a field enviorment.

You can't practice Judo just to win a Judo Match! You practice so that no matter what happens, you can win using Judo!The key to fighting two men at once is to be much tougher than both of them.

I tell you what, I don't know why they didn't put Royler or Renzo against Yoshida, either of them would of FUCKING KILLED him seconds.
Royce is just not good enough any more, he was pulling half gaurd for christ's sake !
I train BJJ, and have trained Judo, and I can say that as long as you train BJJ properly, ie. leave out the flashy sport ****, then it's 10 times better than Judo."You realise the transformations give a man enough strength to destroy a truck with his bare hands!?

Whys the army training in only bjj and Okinowa MA and judo. They should be training in JKD Concepts also, along with BJJ, to even it up.

Postdoc & PhD positions in Parallel Computing for Extreme-Scale Systems
Department of Computing Science at Umea University, Sweden invites excellent candidates to apply for postdoctoral and PhD positions. The successful candidate(s) will join NLAFET, which is one of the high-profile extreme-scale computing projects funded by the European Commission within the recent FET-HPC call under Horizon 2020. NLAFET is coordinated by Umea University with international partners from INRIA (France), University of Manchester and STFC-RAL (UK).
Future extreme-scale supercomputers will be heterogeneous and lead to new and challenging demands for efficient numerical algorithms and parallel software libraries. The aim of NLAFET is to tackle these challenges and ultimately deliver new scalable numerical libraries for fundamental problems in numerical linear algebra, including the solution of dense and sparse systems of equations and eigenvalue problems. Achieving this requires a co-design effort including developing novel algorithms, exploration of advanced scheduling strategies and runtime systems, offline and online autotuning, as well as avoiding communication and synchronization bottlenecks.
The positions will focus on design, implementation, and evaluation of parallel algorithms for matrix kernels and eigenvalue problems with regards to the extreme-scale challenges. The research will be done in close collaboration with recognized researchers and PhD students in the research group as well as with other partners in NLAFET.
Deadline for applications is April 4th, 2016.

text: Been in our new home for just over a month and this morning we wake up to find two of our cars missing, my dads BMW and my mums Pug! They came through the front door god knows how! Got the keys from the kitchen and done one with the cars. They took the keys for the lil Punto as well, but probably left it when they saw how **** it was. Luckily my Audi keys were upstairs along with my bros Valver keys, so pissed off, the fact they got in so easily and stole the cars. The police say theres a gang from south London who have targeted our area before some of the gang are already in jail, they are looking for the car but havent had any luck 2day, to be honest the BMW was getting pretty old anyway it was a 330ci 02 reg and the pug was a 206 1.4 04 reg, so both nothing special really. We have changed the locks on the front doors and getting locks done on Punto on Monday while we store it in the garage. We have a camera on the side of the house but they just moved it so it was facing the floor! Just thought id warn you lot, Im in the west Dartford/Crayford area, so be careful if you are local.

The Birthing Center of Buffalo applauds the decision to have a vaginal birth after C-section (VBAC)! Dr. Morrison and Eileen Stewart, CNM, have extensive experience in attending safe, successful VBACs and are happy to assist you in working toward your birth goals.
Our knowledge and experience has shown us that there are essential components necessary for a successful VBAC. Planning a VBAC with the Birthing Center staff involves the following:
- Engage a doula. We ask that you engage a doula to assist you and your birth team during labor and delivery. Doulas are non-medical professionals who are trained in labor support. They are absolutely critical to having a successful VBAC.
- Attend our VBAC support group. Our group meets the first Monday of every month from 6-8pm at the Birthing Center (please call the office or check our Facebook page to confirm the meeting). You will have the opportunity to meet other people planning VBACs and will hear the inspiring stories of moms who have already had safe, successful VBACs. Partners are welcome; childcare is occasionally available (please check with us first).
- For mothers with one prior C-section: Moms with low risk pregnancies and only one prior low-transverse C-section may be eligible to birth at the Birthing Center.
- For mothers with multiple prior C-sections: Due to freestanding birth center guidelines, we are unable to accommodate moms with more than one prior C-section. Our staff may be able to attend you at Women & Children's Hospital of Buffalo, where our providers have admitting privileges. If you are planning a hospital birth, you may be able to labor at the Birthing Center or at the home of Eileen Stewart, CNM.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us at: firstname.lastname@example.com.

Hi everyone! I am brand new to this site, however I needed some guidance. On January 27, I had a really bad AF cramp (lasted only a few seconds) which actually woke me up that morning, I ran to the bathroom because I thought I had started early, however, only to find nothing there. I went back to bed and when I got up still nothing, no cramps, nothing. Later on that evening I went to the bathroom to find a pink streak of blood on the toilet paper after wiping (sorry TMI). A few hours later I went back to the bathroom and there was absolutely no blood whatsoever. Three days passed (Jan30) when a light period came on and lasted for 4 days (normal length for me). I am now 6 days late with absolutely no sign of AF nor am I experiencing any sort of pregnancy symptoms. I am planning on testing tomorrow morning if nothing happens, but I really want to know if you all think I could be pregnant? Have any of you all ever gotten a BFP with no symptoms at all other than a missed period? Thank you all so much for your help! My husband and I haven't actually started "trying" yet, but we are no longer using contraceptives (I stopped birth control two years ago, we had been using the pull out method up until June of last year). We would be so HAPPY if I was pregnant!

The sixteen amateur cooks meet at the cafeteria in the L.A. Times building in downtown Los Angeles, California. gordon, Graham, and Joe discuss their first challenge to the group. They have two and a half hours of prep time, and two hours of cooking time to serve over 300 guests. The team captains were decided by the winners of the French cuisine challenge from the previous episode, Max is in charge of the Blue team, and Derrick is in charge of the Red team. Max chose his team based on experience, and speed in the kitchen. The Blue team consists of Max, Christian, Alejandra, Giuseppe, Tony, Tracy, Esther, and Jennifer. The Red team consists of Derrick, Suzy, Adrien, Erryn, Jennie, and Christine.
The losing team faces the first Pressure test of the season, and one person will be leaving MasterChef. The first things both teams decide on is their menu for the challenge. They each must create a salad, soup, pizza, best dish entree, and dessert. Each diner will try each dish, and cast their vote in either a Red box or a Blue box depending on which entree they preferred, the team with 3 out of 5 votes wins.
The contestants scurry to kitchens to start preparing, and cooking, both teams taking on different food choices than the other. The judges walk between both kitchens offering tips, suggestions, and advice. Suzy isn't impressed with her the lasagna that she made, but time runs out before they can decide on fixing any of the food. Giuseppe is lagging behind on serving his pizza, which forces him to send out empty blue plates to diners. Each diner that has an empty blue plate means that the Red team automatically gets the point for that round, and vice versa. Tony is also falling behind on the Red team, he quickly runs out of burger meat. Max, as team captain, tries to help by pre-cooking some of the hamburgers, but while transporting them to Tony he places them on a dirty cookie sheet that has bits of nuts on it, and Gordon tells him to throw them out.
The Blue team seems to be running out of food, so they quickly try to salvage whatever food they can find, such as chicken on the grill instead of burgers. The two hours run out, and both teams line up to find out who won the challenge. The Red team won on the salad course, the dessert course, and the pizza course. The Blue team won on the best dish course, and the soup course. The Blue team has lost the first group challenge, and must now face the first Pressure test of the season.
Both teams enter the MasterChef kitchen, with the Red team going up to the gallery to watch the Blue team face the Pressure test. For their pressure test, each contestant must make the perfect ravioli. The filling is already selected for them: spinach & ricotta cheese with a simple butter sauce. The judges will be examing their technique, precision, and culinary vision. They have one hour to prepare their stunning ravioli dishes. The contestants have access to the exact same ingredients, the judges will also be looking for the construction of the ravioli, their technique, and overall flavor.
Giuseppe, Tracy, Max, Alejandra, Christian, and Esther are all safe. Tony is eliminated, and Jennifer is safe.

Bolton have not offered new deals to Ivan Campo, Stelios Giannakopoulos and Andranik Teymourian.
By Lewis Rutledge
Last Updated: 17/05/08 10:15am
Bolton have not offered new deals to Ivan Campo, Stelios Giannakopoulos and Andranik Teymourian, but Gary Megson is keen for Jussi Jaaskelainen and Ricardo Gardner to stay at the club.
Jaaskelainen and Gardner are both out of contract in the summer and have been linked with moves away from the Reebok Stadium.
However, Megson is hoping to persuade the long-serving duo to sign new agreements after Bolton clinched their Premier League survival.
"Jussi and Ricardo have both been excellent servants and are still very much part of my future plans for this football club," Megson told the club's official website.
"Hopefully we can get them secured on new deals as soon as possible."
Giannakopoulos and Campo have been with Bolton since 2003 but they are now free to move elsewhere after falling down the pecking order in recent months.
Megson has also decided there is no future for Iranian midfielder Teymourian at Bolton.
"Ivan, Stelios and Andranik have all done well for Bolton Wanderers and I'd like to express my gratitude to them," said the Trotters boss.
"It's time for them to move on and I wish them all the best."

Investors in four collateralized debt obligations managed by Credit Agricole Indosuez are eyeing the possibility of voting on a move to switch the business over to Royal Bank of Canada to keep the deals managed by former managers who recently departed the firm. The potential shift is one bone of contention in a lawsuit filed by Indosuez against RBC and the team it hired away from Indosuez. Dan Smith, Lee Shaimen, Ken Kencel, and Michael Arougheti left Indosuez Capital for RBC last month. Market sources said investors are beginning the voting process on Indosuez Capital Funding IV, Indosuez Capital Funding VI, Porticoes Funding, and Serves 2001-I Limited as all four of the deals have triggers for management changes built in. Paul Travers, managing director at Indosuez, did not return calls regarding a change in managers. Smith declined to comment.
A market source said that within these structures investors can vote to change managers if the management team they originally invested with has left. The lawsuit, first reported last week on LMW's Web site, states Indosuez is seeking damages from Royal Bank of Canada, Smith, Shaimen, Kencel and Arougheti after the defection of the staff to form a leveraged finance team at RBC. CAI claims in the lawsuit that the mass departure was planned surreptitiously over the previous eight months and was referred to as "Project Northstar and Project Mapleleaf." The lawsuit has been filed in the New York Supreme Court. An RBC spokesman said, "RBC is aware of the complaint by CAI, and we're in the process of responding to it. As a matter of policy RBC does not comment on matters before the court. We are, however, confident that at the end of the day our actions will be vindicated."
The document filed with the court says the action is for compensatory and punitive damages based upon what it claims is the unlawful raid by RBC on the Indosuez Capital division of CAI. The suit further claims Smith, Shaiman, Kencel and Arougheti provided confidential information to RBC, assisting the raid on other employees. Additionally, the claim states that in the months prior to the resignations, the group invested millions of dollars in several private equity sponsored funds with the belief that such investments would benefit future business at RBC. Since leaving, CAI claims the group interfered with CAI's asset management business by soliciting investors with $3.5 billion in assets under management with CAI to transfer the management over to RBC

Your leader ('School reform plan offers hope to every child', last week) mentions the danger of allowing schools to be hijacked, as has already happened, by fringe faith groups, but says nothing about the consequences of allowing more schools to be taken over by mainstream religious organisations.
We already have schools whose top admission criterion is a family's professed faith and weekly attendance at a place of worship. Under such rules, my children go straight to the bottom of the list. Allowing more schools to select by faith will further disadvantage those who have none. It seems that atheists and agnostics are among the few remaining groups in society against whom it is still OK to discriminate.
Mike Lim
I was surprised by your support for the idea of independent state schools (Observer Comment, last week). The evidence is against you. Social segregation is higher in those areas where many schools control their own admissions.
Internationally, research by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development has delivered a clear verdict. Countries which have integrated, comprehensive systems perform distinctly better, in terms of both overall standards and the spread of attainment, than those with more divided and segregated systems. They achieve more in terms of both quality and equity.
The notion of independent state schools was promoted by the free-market wing of the Conservative party in the late 1980s. As a road to national educational improvement, it is a cul-de-sac.

Irving is no martyr
Does David Irving deserve to be prosecuted and imprisoned (Review, last week)? Such a question begs the answer: 'Why is there any doubt?' Should free speech, for which right we have fought and bled, allow the filth of the world to sneak unchallenged through this open door?
Free speech is a misnomer since speech carries burdens of responsibility and, while no word that may convey ideas unpalatable to us should be censored, words that twist and corrupt and deny the truth, words that inflame the ignorant and are manna for racial hatred and, therefore, inspire evil deeds, ought to be punished.
For Irving to deny the existence of gas chambers as a myth in the face of overwhelming evidence, and from a historian as learned as he prides himself to be, implies an agenda which is as unpalatable as it is loathsome.
Irving would be no 'martyr to free speech' by imprisoning him any more than Oswald Mosley was when he was incarcerated. Martyrs are made of different stuff and are kept alive by the outrage of those whose lives were inspired by a liberating truth. Lies eventually die in their own stench, denied the fresh free air to contaminate with their abomination.

Zimbabwe's sins
Will Hutton (Comment, last week) discusses the relative prosperity of democracies and the likelihood that they are more stable. He cites Zimbabwe as an example of a poorly performing country. Terrible as the situation in that sad country is, until recently it was relatively democratic with an independent judiciary. Being a democracy hasn't prevented Zimbabwe from becoming a totalitarian state. Nor does it, as Henry Porter points out in his piece, protect our civil liberties when you have a prime minister minded to remove them.
Martin Cooper

Brush them under the carpet
I found Henry Porter's piece about the erosion of civil liberties (Comment, last week) both interesting and stimulating. However, there is a group of people who are subject to imprisonment without charge, without legal representation and without ever having committed a crime. They can be imprisoned because they may be considered to be a danger to themselves or to others at some unspecified time in the future. And the government is currently proposing to increase and extend its powers of coercion against this group.
I refer to people unfortunate enough to be identified as mentally ill. If what passes for treatment of the mentally ill was subject to a human-rights or civil-liberties analysis, it would be found sadly wanting.
Unfortunately, society seems willing to accept that some are less deserving of basic rights than others.

Onward BNP soldiers ...
I was fascinated that BNP members were 'helping to hand out pro-Christian leaflets' in Plymouth ('BNP members join Christians to halt "Jerry"', last week). I do not know if Jerry Springer is anti-Christian or whether Christian Voice is Christian in any recognisable sense, but the BNP is certainly incompatible with Christianity. Does this mean that we can expect the rapid disappearance of the party and the appearance of some unexpected converts?

Apartheid, a British invention
Simon Wood says poor Afrikaners were driven off their farms a century ago through economic necessity (OM, last week). The British drove the Afrikaners off their land in the Boer War. They killed their animals, burnt their farmhouses and all their possessions and imprisoned them in concentration camps where thousands died of starvation. He talks of the 'story of apartheid finally being over', yet neglects to say that it started in those camps.
Millions of people of all races in South Africa have never forgotten how the British mercilessly slaughtered them in their greed for land, gold and diamonds. It is a pity that most British people today are unaware of their own shameful past. It is so easy to hate an obvious evil like apartheid. It is much harder to acknowledge that it was a creation of the British Empire.

When the fur flies
One issue that appears to have been overlooked in the discussion about the fur trade (Observer Panel, last week) is that of the link between fur and the spread of non-native species. According to the British Fur Trade Association, 85 per cent of the worldwide trade in fur comes from farmed animals; there are thousands of farms breeding non-native species throughout Europe. Escapes from these farms are inevitable and many species, eg North American mink, are established and spreading in the wild.
The ecological and economic cost of invasive species is huge. Many native species are threatened and governments and conservation agencies are spending millions of pounds trying to control invasive species that are a direct result of the fur trade.

Winick Realty Group Secures SoHo Flagship For Italian Heritage Brand LUANA Italy
Luana, the renowned brand of elevated contemporary handbags and women's accessories, has leased their first U.S. storefront at 155 Spring Street, between West Broadway and Wooster Street in the heart of SoHo.
Since Luana's inception in Pelago, Italy in 1965, Luana has expressed feminine modernity, fusing timeless and classic design with contemporary production techniques to create iconic, modern objects that compliment all facets of modern life. Luana is in the midst of a relaunch under the ownership of 5M USA, who purchased the brand in 2013. This new flagship retail store, which will bring the Luana brand to SoHo shoppers and tourists of all ages, is now open.
Winick Realty Group Director Aaron S. Fishbein and Associate Daniyel Cohen represented Luana, while landlord Vornado Realty Trust was represented in-house by Edward Hogan and Mitchell Dearman. Ownership installed a new storefront in the space, which comprises 594 square feet on the ground floor and 432 square feet in the basement.
"From day one, Luana wanted to be in SoHo, a neighborhood they consider to be the epicenter of fashion," said Fishbein and Cohen. "They were drawn to the area's trendsetting nature, as well as the incredible luxury co-tenancy, which includes Chanel, Burberry and Longchamp. Their combination of old-fashioned service and accessible luxury will be a great fit on this street."

Thank you to Kenny and also the maintenance man Steve, for promptly responding to the smoke detectors' batteries beeping at 11:38 p.m.-Steve called us back immediately, thank you!! And a kitchen sink faucet that broke upon our first use..we understand these things can happen, and hope to book again sometime, as overall it was a great home, and management was so accomodating. Another feature we enjoyed was walking right out to the pool area from our sliding door in our master bedroom, and also a back door from our shower to the pool area, which made it easy to get the kids in and out without getting any of the carpet damp.
Thanks again, Lindsie and John
This was our third visit to this resort, first time at this house. You won't find a large hotel room near Disney World for this price and its a bonus ro have your own pool. The house was clean and had everything we needed. A few small issues but overall, you can't beat the price for what you get.
We enjoyed the home very much, it was close to so many restaurants, shopping, golf. One of our friends that came to visit, booked a home for next year with her family, as it is very close to all the Disney Parks. It was wonderful having our own pool as well.

With the brutal schedules animators are faced with, it's not surprising that sometimes less than stellar work slips through. However, even by those subpar standards, the last episode of Terra Formars Revenge featured some truly awful animation.

Ricciardo Makes History in Mexico City
MyDrive | Infiniti Red Bull Racing – F1 driver Daniel Ricciardo has made history by becoming the first of the current Formula One grid to drive the newly redesigned Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez circuit in Mexico City.
After a tour of the pit and paddock facilities, still under construction, Ricciardo completed the first ever lap of the newly-configured track behind the wheel of a 3.5 litre, 320PS Infiniti Q50 Hybrid. He was then joined by Scuderia Toro Rosso driver Carlos Sainz in the World Championship-winning RB7 Formula One car, with the pair driving a number of parts of the track in both cars, including the all-new and highly unique stadium section.
Once complete, the 17-turn, 2.7 mile (4.3km) circuit will return to the F1™ calendar in November with the first Mexican Grand Prix for 23 years.
Commenting on his experience in Mexico, Daniel Ricciardo said: "It was really cool to come and see how the circuit is coming along and to drive around it in the Q50 Hybrid. It clearly has a good mix of fast and slow corners which I think will be a real challenge in an F1 car, so I'm looking forward to racing here later in the season.
I heard that the tickets are already sold out, so it will be a pretty special atmosphere here that's for sure."
Commenting on the event, Tommaso Volpe, Global Director of Infiniti Formula One added: "Mexico is one of our fastest-growing global markets, so to become the first car brand to lap the new circuit ahead of the grand prix with Daniel behind the wheel is a testament to our commitment to the business in Latin America."

Education is a really important aspect that assists us shape our career, for any person that wants to have a bright future, education is exceptionally essential. It aids in the overall growth of an individual who could serve his/her demands and requirements in a simpler path. If you are truly well informed then you can be effectively utilized and make your resources. Nevertheless, top quality education and learning could not be paid for by everyone. In such situation, you could conveniently depend upon educational financial obligations as well as satisfy your educational desires comfortably. The government has actually started a conditional lending mercy prepare for students, as some have failed to repay the fundings due to their poor economic scenarios.
Formally described as the William D. Ford Finance Program, the Obama Pupil Financing Forgiveness Program gained this label when Head of state Obama created a few reforms to the finance program in 2009. Nonetheless, the reforms exclusively relate to federal pupil finances. a variety of the reforms created by Obama embrace. Starting 2014, debtors would certainly qualify to obtain repayments sustained One Hundred Percent of their optional economic gain Money will be utilized largely to boost college financing along with to money minority as well as inadequate trainee. Subsidies will no longer be offered to private loan providers by the federal government for government backed loans.
How This Can Assist In Seneca OR?
Federal student finances are of much aid to trainees intending to pursue their university researches yet are not quite economically capable. With government student loans use, university student will be not just able to go after college research studies but likewise be able to benefit from numerous payments systems readily available for them. These are settlement schemes that are all to their benefits, and they simply should apply and discuss for these. What is called for is good negotiating abilities, as well as they might just be able to get these, if certified. They also have to take care of their trainee car loans and also not enable this to take place default. Also obtaining trainee financial obligation delinquency ought to be stayed clear of as long as feasible. They may also get the car loan mercy program if they are certified.
Who Can Qualify?
The student lending alleviation program is one where the student can use this loan and also without having for this to be repaid, if the trainee is certified. For the instructor loan mercy program, the borrower ought to teach for 5 consecutive years as well as should get on a full-time basis. The location of teaching ought to remain in a low-income neighborhood or for teaching solutions provided to low-income households. The potential risks run into will be not meeting the whole 5 years of successive training, for whatever reasons the trainee debtor has. Federal trainee financial debts availed of by pupil debtors and seeking training tasks can be good for them, yet there are likewise possible risks possibly experienced, and the borrower needs to exert for this not to happen.
Public trainee funding mercy program could also be use by trainee consumers that fulfill the certain credentials. The federal trainee loans gotten are profiting most the university student because they can finish their university education and have an occupation after college graduation, and this is the most the obtain as the advantage. They could additionally get the general public student lending mercy if they have made 120 car loan payments or consecutive settlements without fail for ten years and operate in a qualified public service organization. There is likewise the danger potentially encountered, that of being disqualified like when the trainee car loan enters into default. After many years of financing payments consistently as well as financial problem come along, there is the possibility of default, and this can disqualify the customer from get this car loan mercy program.
The Choices in Seneca Oregon?
Without a doubt, the federal student car loans are offering more advantages to university student consumers, and also they could additionally have a number of settlement alternatives that could be use. and also this is giving them extra advantages. Financial debt forgiveness programs can likewise be get, which they can not avail if they seek the exclusive pupil finances gotten from the banks. They may treat this with minimal priority contrasted with the government trainee financings, yet could also obtain of when college funds are not sufficient, they will certainly not have this benefit of funding alleviation with the private trainee loans.
Pupil debtors that get on the income-based settlement scheme and making their repayments vigilantly could likewise obtain received the finance forgiveness program if they work out as well as obtain certified. There could likewise be some threat linked with this, like the balance of the funding not forgiven is treated as income; thus the debtor needs to pay tax obligations for this. This could be the lesser of the trouble encountered because, the larger student debt quantity is forgiven. Therefore, the government student car loans should be treated extra preferentially by trainee consumers as a result of several advantages they get.

Secret things you can't talk about yet as in... like... if you talk about it you'll go to Top Secret NSA Prison, or just you "can't" in the sense that you've decided it isn't the right time yet?
Coming Soon
by Adam
The trailer for Space Food Truck's tablet edition is coming together nicely, it just needs a release date to tack onto the end! While Alex continues to plug away on that front, I'm working on secret things that we can't talk about yet. It makes for a quiet blog, but you can always sign up for our mailing list to keep up with big future announcements.
Notable Replies
Well, we don't like to distract people from the next thing we're releasing (SFT for tablets!) by talking about stuff that's further away, and that may or may not happen. So really I shouldn't say anything at all, but I get excited.
Adam: If you ever, like, see a cool bird on a tree branch outside your window or something, I'd even like seeing a picture of that on the blog. I'm not that hard to please honestly.
I can say if you like the idea of another Outwitters-type game, you should check in with us after SFT.
Maybe the prototroopers will come back

Three Republican members of Congress are trying to prevent a new Obama Administration regulation that would grant Libyan nationals the ability to attend flight school in the United States.
Representatives Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.), House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.), and Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) introduced the Protecting the Homeland Act (H.R. 5401), designed to stop the Obama Administration from lifting a longtime prohibition on Libyan nationals from coming to America to attend flight school, to work in aviation maintenance or flight operations, or to study or seek training in nuclear science.
The prohibition of Libyan nationals attending flight school et al. in the US took effect in 1983, after a wave of terrorist incidents involving Libyans, with restrictions being approved in July. According to a press release on Gowdy's website, once DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson signs the regulation, it will take effect unless further action is taken.
Advertisement - story continues below
The abstract of the rule, released from the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, states:
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is amending its regulations by rescinding the regulatory provisions promulgated in 1983 that terminated the nonimmigrant status and barred the granting of certain immigration benefits to Libyan nationals and foreign nationals acting on behalf of Libyan entities who are engaging in or seeking to obtain studies or training in aviation maintenance, flight operations, or nuclear-related fields. The United States Government and the Government of Libya have normalized their relationship and most of the restrictions and sanctions imposed by the United States and the United Nations toward Libya have been lifted.
Gowdy, who is the Immigration and Border Security Subcommittee Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, slammed the Obama Administration:
Considering the deteriorating situation in Libya, it is hard to understand why DHS is moving ahead with repealing this 30-year old rule. We still have not heard from the Administration why this policy is going to improve national security. Is post-revolutionary Libya secure enough to change the rules? Why now? This is a risk to our national security and compels us to act.
Goodlatte, in the same release, cited the evacuation of Americans working in Tripoli as a reason not to go forward with this new DHS rule:
This summer, Americans working at the U.S. embassy in Tripoli were evacuated due to rival rebel groups battling each other for control of the area. And less than two years ago, the U.S. consulate consulate in Benghazi was attacked by terrorists, leaving four Americans dead.
DHS started considering restrictions last October, 13 months after terrorists attacked the American consulate in Benghazi. At the time, both Goodlatte and Chaffetz condemned the action. In October, Chaffetz stated on his website:
It is unbelievable that this administration would again put Americans in harm's way by lifting a decades old security ban on a country that has become a hotbed of terrorist activity. We must work with the Libyans to build mutual trust that ensures safety and prosperity for both countries to enjoy.
On Monday, the Utah Republican echoed similar sentiments:
"Lifting the ban to allow Libyans to come to the U.S. to train in aviation and nuclear sciences is not only bad policy, but it threatens the safety of this country. I appreciate Chairmen Goodlatte and Gowdy for their leadership on this important issue."
Four of the 19 terrorists who committed the attacks of September 11 received training at American flight schools, according to the 9/11 Commission Report.
The House Judiciary Committee is expected to take up this legislation on Wednesday.

Anyone else having issues with Android not working with media queries? On the Litmus Android 4.0 test, emails resize to the screen as intended, but on a real phone running Android 4.0 they don't work.
Sorry, probably should have put this in the Email Design & Coding forum...
Hi JohnP,
Unfortunately, Android has 2 default mail clients Email and Gmail, and they offer differing support. The Email client does support media queries, but the Gmail client doesn't. So what you're seeing is just the difference between those 2 different apps. Hopefully support improves with later OS versions!
Thanks for the response Diana,
Being aware of Gmail's lack of <style> support, both the screenshots are in the default Android mail. The default email client on my Samsung Galaxy S2 does not support media queries either.
Hi JohnP, that's unusual about the default client not supporting media queries on the Samsung Galaxy S2 - anecdotal reports suggest otherwise. Out of curiosity, could you kindly let us know what declaration you're using? It may be a matter of tweaking it for the S2's display dimensions, eg.
@media screen and (max-width: 800px) { /* your CSS here * / }
Thanks, JohnP! Let us know how you go.
Hi Ros, I figured out what was the cause.
My company MS Exchange Server must have some sort of security filter or something stripping out the media query. (Or maybe it is just an MS email forwarding thing...) Even when setting the media query to an overkill amount like 1600, it still wasn't working on either my Galaxy S2 or a co-workers Nexus.
I set up another non-corporate account on my default Android mail and the media query works. Makes me wonder though, how common the issue is with corporate MS Exchange Servers stripping out parts of the code before forwarding onto devices.
JohnP, thank you for letting us know about this. We have received reports of mail servers stripping out code, but we hear about it so infrequently, that it's not something we usually ask people to look out for. I'm sure this happens to many more folks though (and duly, goes unreported) - it's just that they wouldn't have the know-how to test, or do something about it like you can! Keep us posted if you come across any other quirks like this :)
I'm wondering if putting a unique bg image into each media query css declaration would allow for tracking the effectiveness of the media queries.
Maybe that is something CM might consider tracking in future, as it will also return device information...
Hi JohnP - that's an interesting suggestion! I'll pass this on and see if it's something we can at least use in an internal project for finding out how commonly media queries are supported. Thank you so much for thinking this through :D
Anyone know any more on this? I made a responsive design that was admittedly a bit complicated, but it came through absolutely fine on an iPhone despite passing through MS exchange. My Android 4 device (Sony Experia S) dumped all the media queries as outlined above.
In Outlook 2007 the media queries were also ignored, meaning they can't be used to hide any content really.
Just wondered if anyone has any more info about media query support.
I think it was my corporate security settings that was stripping the css. Not sure what security software my company has.
Were all the emails received at the same domain? If you set up another email on a separate domain to receive emails in Outlook or your Android will they come through okay?
Hi rundmb, we have a media query support chart which may come in handy. If you're using an email client other than the default one, you're not likely to have much luck on your Android device :P
Outlook 2007 is no surprise as it ignores everything in the <head> tags, but then again, you can likely do without optimizing for it specifically. You may want to look into conditional comments if you specifically want to tailor content for this client. Hope this helps! :D
JohnP - Cheers mate, you're a champion :D
Hey guys
I'm having the same probelm as above. I am using the default mail client on my samsung galaxy s3 and the media queries will not work (even if I use more than max-device-width-480px)
My default mail client would not render my emails from my companies outlook 2007 passed through the exchange server, neither will it render my yahoo emails correctly (also set up to come through my default mail client (not app)
I checked the email on my friends LG phone, which is also using her default mail client, pulling the email from our companies outlook 2007 email, and hers renders perfect with the media queries.
Is there any chance anyone has found a solution? '
Thank you :)
Oh, it also renders perfect in litmus and I have android 4.04 on my phone. I' assuming it just seems to just be a probelm with android default mail client stripping out the media queriens since LG mail client renders the outlook 2007 email fine? I'm not an IT person, so not sure if there are any other settings somewhere that could create the issue.
I was wondering if any one has had any luck on their samsung s3 personall with viewing media queries through their default mail client?
Hi kirstylm, if we can rule out your company's Exchange server stripping out the media queries, try changing the media query declaration to:
@media only screen and (max-device-width: 720px) and (orientation:portrait) { ... }
This should work with the screen's (large) dimensions.
There's an enlightening discussion on Stack Overflow which we hope you find very helpful. Thanks, kirsty! Let us know how you go :)
What about for other platform, does it have same issue.
