Cardiff 10k: Martin Rees claims new over-60s world record
A veteran runner has claimed a world record for men over 60 during the Cardiff 10k race.
Retired steelworker Martin Rees, 60, from Port Talbot, completed the course in central Cardiff in 32m 48s.
He now holds 37 records in various age and distance categories from age 45 upwards.
Organisers called his run an "incredible achievement" and said he was an "amazing role model".
Mr Rees was running for the Tata Steel team.
An employee of 33 years, he retired earlier this year and had said he was aiming to break a number of records for his age category, M60-64 (men aged 60 to 64).
He said of his race: "The conditions were good and everything was quite right about it today.
"I obviously didn't go out with the first group but I went with the second and managed to get through that."
Mr Rees did not start running until he was 37, but now trains seven days out of every eight.
"Everybody's got one little hidden talent and they don't know what it is," he said.
His time this year is an improvement on last year's time, and he believed knowing he was in a position to set a new record for his new age category gave him the extra impetus.
He is now hoping to better the over-60s half-marathon world record time he set in Bath in March of 1hr 11m 32s at the Cardiff half marathon in October.
In the meantime, he will be celebrating his latest achievement with "a couple of pints" on Sunday evening.
'Role model'
Roy Thomas, chief executive of Kidney Wales, which organises the race, said: "Whilst the Cardiff 10k is as much about fundraising as it is athletic achievement, I was absolutely delighted to watch Martin break the world record for 10k in the over 60s category.
"It really is an incredible achievement and Martin is an amazing role model that we can all look up to, and it is all the more incredible considering he only took up running in his late thirties.
"The Cardiff 10k is growing in race numbers and profile each and every year and it is runners like Martin who inspire others to get involved."
"I am already looking forward to next year's event, where we hope for another race record in terms of competitor numbers, and perhaps a few more world records too."

Chase Rice the Romantic: Singer Shows Sweet Side in 'Gonna Wanna Tonight' Video
Chase Rice's 'Gonna Wannna Tonight' video shows a different side of the singer: a sweet, sensitive side.
The followup to 'Ready Set Roll' is a complete change of pace for the former football player, who, until now, hasn't given us a peek at his inner romantic. The 'Gonna Wanna Tonight' video, directed by Jeff Venable, brings out a man in love, enjoying some time with his main lady, and we're convinced of their story, even if they're just acting.
The clip starts with the singer sitting at a dimly-lit desk, putting the song on paper before picking up his guitar to sing it and play it. Rice and his love take a break from the daily grind to enjoy time together in a cabin, where they drink whiskey, cuddle in a hammock and enjoy one another's company at the secluded location. They're not totally alone, though -- man's best friend has also come along for the trip.
The song is a cut from Rice's 'Ignite the Night,' and there could be a reason it's so vastly different -- it's one of the few tracks Rice didn't write. Jon Nite, Jimmy Robbins and Shane McAnally penned this one and later convinced Rice to include it on his album.
"If you wanna go away, out where there ain't nobody around / And let your long hair get to fallin' down / And let your red lips leave their mark all over mine," Rice sings with a smile.
Watch Rice's 'Gonna Wanna Tonight' video above.

Remaining someone that is properly organized can make many things in life a great deal easier. People that are well organized are frequently a lot more punctual and therefore are more unlikely to be procrastinators. Nonetheless, being and keeping yourself well organized may be somewhat of a concern pertaining to the millions of people which battle against day to day tasks. The best way to remain well organized is to get into the routine of developing a to-do list. Read More Here regarding the many techniques to remain organized in an effort to help make life less complicated.
When you would like to establish a to-do report, it will be far better to create one at night ahead of going to sleep. Well before individuals get to sleep they are inclined to have lots of stuff on their brains for the following day. Noting the actual chores you might want to complete the actual day before will allow you to keep an eye on many of these details the day after. Whenever you awaken every day you will end up well rested and ready to start off completing each of the tasks on your list. You may learn this here now for assistance.
In regards to to-do lists it is essential for people to actually categorize just what chores are and are not vital. Yes, the truth is that some of the jobs of which should be carried out aren't always a high objective. Separate those specific tasks that need to be done on that day apart from those types of duties in which need to be done at one point. Even though this may be confusing for quite a few individuals, their explanation might enable all those that are frequently battling.
Lastly, it's definitely vital for people to estimate how much time they are going to require in order to complete each and every project. Folks frequently underestimate the amount of time it'll demand to successfully finish off a particular job or task. Not being able to successfully give an activity enough time may cause some significant troubles. Carefully consider every single task and decide on a time which each will begin and end. Someone might see this with regard to much more details on time bids.
These suggestions may be utilized for almost any person who's seeking to be well prepared 7 days a week. Once again, complete your to-do list just before heading to bed. Likewise, pick which duties are usually the most important. Last but not least, select enough time for each and every project to be completed.

Image Requests
Clients often come to us looking for something very specific, and our sales team combs through the archive to put together a lightbox that fits the research request. Sometimes, however, a client is looking for something ultra specific OR they have a broader, conceptual feeling they want the image to invoke, that we can't currently match from the archive. At that point, we'll send out a brief to our extensive roster of photographers to try to bring in exactly what the client is looking for. The results are often incredible, and even if the images aren't purchased by that specific client, they get added to our archive for future requests. Here are some of the most interesting briefs we've received, and the amazing images that arrived as a result.
An electronics company was looking for "amazing action based images," of a person in a "go for it" moment. Think shots that illustrate motivation, anticipation or the start of an adventure, like a BASE jumper running towards the edge, or a snowboarder about to hit a jump.
Due to the lack of snow in the West for the past few years, many of our clients were hard pressed to find recent winter fun images at resorts. One ad agency was looking for a deep pull of images from Tahoe in the winter. The idea was to highlight all of the different things you can do in Tahoe, from skiing and snowboarding to building snowmen to hot tubs to landscapes to admiring the scenics to roasting marshmallows. Photographers were told to imagine it was a shoot they were doing for a resort when pulling photos to send.
A magazine / nature conservancy was looking for images of birds for an ongoing, extensive visual journalism project to show the relationship between birds and people worldwide.
An ad agency client wanted modern, candid photography of millennials, with REAL and RELATABLE being more important than the expected "hipster" or "cool/creative" crowd. As the brief we got was very broad and could cover a lot, we tried to narrow it down for our photographers. Style and age is more important than action, but some ideas to think about: adventurous travel, connections with people, glimpses into every day life, fitness outside of a gym, waiting in line at a food truck and talking, people at work, etc. You can also think about some potential archetypes, people of certain professions or hobbies like: beer brewer, carpenter, personal trainers, etc.If you've got an image that you're looking for that you just can't find anywhere else, or just want some help with a research request, try our new Photo Request form. We'd love to hear from you and get you the image or images that you need.

Group and Transient Leisure Travel Stand Out with Rate and Occupancy Growth in Third Quarter of 2017
NEW YORK – July 20, 2017 – As North American hoteliers push forward into the third quarter of 2017, both average daily rates (ADR) and bookings remain inconsistent across all travel segments, according to new data from TravelClick's July 2017 North American Hospitality Review (NAHR). This marks an ongoing trend for the year.
However, some travel segments are experiencing noteworthy signs of growth during the quarter. For example, group travel is up 1.3 percent in ADR and transient leisure up 2.6 percent in bookings.
"Accepting unpredictability as the new norm, hoteliers are finding this year's summer months a bit unusual compared to those in the past," said John Hach, TravelClick's senior industry analyst. "While ADR for all travel segments is slightly up 0.1 percent and bookings are slightly down -0.8 percent, there is some indication in the numbers that healthy gains are on the horizon in the coming months."
Twelve-Month Outlook (July 2017 – June 2018)
For the next 12 months (July 2017 – June 2018), transient bookings are up 0.5 percent year-over-year and ADR for this segment is slightly up 0.2 percent. When broken down further, the transient leisure (discount, qualified and wholesale) segment is up 2.8 percent, and ADR is slightly down -0.4 percent. The transient business (negotiated and retail) segment is down -3.5 percent; however, ADR is up 1.5 percent. Lastly, group bookings are up 0.8 percent in committed* room nights over the same time last year, and ADR is up 1.7 percent.
"Moving into the latter part of the summer season and into the fall, hoteliers must leverage business intelligence tools and forward-looking data for guidance to stay ahead of the competition in this continued period of inconsistency," added Hach. "Any number of factors could be contributing to this uncertain time – the current economic climate, global events, the continuation of the on-demand / sharing economy. As such, data is the key for hoteliers to stay informed and on top of the industry."
The July NAHR looks at group sales commitments and individual reservations in the 25 major North American markets for hotel stays that are booked by July 1, 2017 for the period of July 2017 to June 2018.
*Committed Occupancy – (Transient rooms reserved + group rooms committed) / capacity
The third quarter combines forward-looking data (July – September).

|Mouse anti-Human thioredoxin antibody, clone 2B1 recognizes human thioredoxin, also known as ATL-derived factor or Surface-associated sulphydryl protein. Thioredoxin is a 105 amino acid ~12kDa dithiol oxidoreductase with powerful protein disulphide oxidoreductase activity containing a single thioredoxin domain (UniProt: P10599). Thioredoxin is involved in a number of cellular processes, including activation of the transcription factor NF-KB (Kelleheret al.2014). Thioredoxin is highly expressed in the glandular cells of the GI tract and uterine tissues, also activated B and T-cells (Rubartelliet al.1992).Mouse anti-Human thioredoxin antibody, clone 2B1 has been used successfully in a biotinylated format as a detection reagent in a thioredoxin sandwich ELISA as part of a study looking at thioredoxin levels in placental trophoblast cells (Di Trapani et al.1998), a study which also used the antibody for immunoprecipitation of thioredoxin as well as detection of thioredoxin by western blotting. Mouse anti-Human thioredoxin antibody, clone 2B1 is also useful for the demonstration of thioredoxin expression on formalin fixed, paraffin embedded material by imunohistochemistry (Lincolnet al.2003). Clone 2B1 has also been used as a capture reagent in a sandwich ELISA for thioredoxin (Perkinget al.1995)

More people have been forced out of their homes by flooding in St Michaels.
It was a race against time last night to patch up the damaged flood defences after heavy rain at the weekend - but it was not enough to prevent another breach this morning.
A farmer who had stayed put despite a severe flood warning that has been in place since Sunday gave into the 'inevitable' as river levels rose again overnight.
A Lancashire Fire and Rescue spokesman said: "There was another breach in part of the river bank.
"For most of yesterday there was a farmer who wanted to stay but eventually he faced the inevitable and decided to leave his property."
The Environment Agency said it is now waiting for the water to subside before resuming work to repair the battered river embankment.
Dozens of sandbags were used to temporarily repair the damage from the weekend and limit the impact of last night's downpour.
The Environment Agency said 38 properties flooded over the weekend. Firefighters helped evacuate more than 20 homes when the floods first hit, although that figure has now risen following the latest breach.
It is understood all residents in immediate danger had previously been evacuated and those leaving in the last 24 hours were not ordered to leave by emergency services.
The severe flood warning remains in place in St Michaels, the last place in the country still on the highest level of alert.
The Lancashire Fire and Rescue spokesman added: "They are steadily pumping the water away. It is depending now on whatever else happens in terms of rain fall."
Environment Agency staff were joined by the military, council officers and firefighters working around the clock to repair the damage before water levels peaked again at around 8am today.
Pictures taken yesterday show the damage caused to the embankment along the River Brock, where water tore through the defences and left the village submerged.
Lancashire Fire and Rescue said it was pumping around 75,000 litres of water an hour away from St Michaels to allow repair work to take place.
Water levels in the Wyre and Brock rivers rose dangerously high in the early hours of this morning but the latest indication is they are now starting to recede.

What foods you choose and how much you eat before you exercise depends on when, how long, and how intense your exercise or event will be.
This fact sheet will help you understand how much to drink and when to drink to support your active lifestyle.
There are many sports supplements available on the market today. However, in most cases, good training, a healthy and balanced diet, and enough rest will help your performance more than any supplement.

Skilled volunteering refers to companies and individuals volunteering their professional skills to assist nonprofit organizations. Skills-based volunteering is increasingly popular among Millennials and Boomers looking to make a tangible impact on their community. This type of volunteering takes place in a variety of contexts and can include all types of professional skills including:
Are you ready to volunteer your skills? Visit VolunteerNow! To search our online database for SBV opportunities.
For companies, skills-based volunteering can be a great addition to any employee volunteer program. Studies have shown that offering employees volunteer opportunities can boost morale, build teamwork and enhances a company's public image. Skills-based volunteering has the added benefit of allowing employees to use core skills in real world situations thus serving as cost-effective professional development.
For individuals, skills-based volunteering can provide you with a chance to expand and sharpen your professional skills. Skills-based volunteering enables you to develop your professional experiences while honing your skills for the workplace. In December 2011, Forbes noted that volunteering is a great way to learn executive leadership skills. As an individual you can leverage your skills to make a positive change in a nonprofit organization while advancing your professional goals.
Pro Bono volunteers are a subset of skills-based volunteers; often, pro bono projects provide nonprofits with expert consulting services that they would otherwise be unable to afford. Typically, pro bono projects directly impact a nonprofit's internal operations. These projects can be designed in a variety of impact areas based on the nonprofits needs and ability to implement the changes but focus on strengthening the organizations infrastructure and overall capacity.
Pro Bono projects engage volunteers in core competences that all organizations need to be efficient and effective such as:
Pro Bono services are one way that nonprofits are able to secure expertise consulting advice and support which is critical to maintaining a strong, productive organization.
To facilitate the connection with the needs in our community and the desire to give through pro bono and skills-based volunteering the below pinboard was created. Launched in May 2014, the pinboard will slowly begin to change from sample information to the known needs and resources in our community. Instructions for using the pinboard are below.
Business: How do I post my Company's or Individual Pro-Bono & Skills-based Services?
If you are a company interested in offering up your services, please click here, and we will post your services anonymously within 3-4 business days. Once your skills have been posted, they will be viewed by nonprofit professionals, who will then contact Volunteer Fairfax. If the scope of their need matches up with your business's interests realting to your employees skills and pro bono offerings we will contact you with their information.
Nonprofit & Public Organization: How do I post my Pro Bono & Skills Based Needs and/or How do I Respond to Services Offered?
If you are interested in having a project posted, please login to your Volunteer Fairfax account to fill out an opportunity online, being sure to complete the Skills and Certifications sections. We will review and approve your request within 3-4 business days. Once your request is approved, we will post it to our website, where it will be viewed by companies and individual professionals.
If you are not currently a Volunteer Fairfax member or are interested in learning more about posted pro bono and skills based volunteering services, please contact us.
Note: It is important to think through your organizations readiness to leverage skills based, pro-bono volunteers before you recruit a volunteer or a volunteer team. These volunteers can provide transformational help, however it requires a certain amount of infrastructure and planning to make these volunteer(s) work a valuable investment for your organization.

Desperate attempts were made to pull a dad-of-one to safety before he drowned in a Doncaster quarry, his inquest heard.
Matthew Mellor, aged 27, drowned in the disused quarry off Hurst Lane, Auckley, after he got into difficulty whilst swimming with eight friends on Monday, July 21, last year.
Ross Young, giving evidence to the inquest, described how he and another member of the group both tried to help Mr Mellor when they realised he was struggling.
The inquest heard Mr Mellor was pushing the pair under the water as he desperately tried to keep his head above the surface.
Mr Young said: "I realised he was struggling, he started flailing around and screaming and his head was going under the water. He came up one more time for air and I tried to go under the water, but we couldn't find him."
Mr Mellor's body was recovered by police divers the following day.
The court heard Mr Mellor, a regular cannabis user, had smoked cannabis and synthetic cannabis – a drug which mimics the affects of cannabis – earlier that day before joining his friends at the site for the early evening swim.
Dr Stephen Moreley told the hearing low levels of the drugs were found in Mr Mellor's system
Dr Moreley said: "The affects of the drugs may have made him less aware in this situation."
However, Nicola Mundy, South Yorkshire East coroner, said she was satisfied, after hearing evidence Mr Mellor seemed his usual self, that the drugs did not directly play a part in his death.
Giving a verdict of accidental death, Ms Mundy said Mr Mellor's cause of death was hypoxia due to drowning. Speaking about his friend Mr Young said: "He was a happy and bubbly person who was always happy to help people out."
Following the incident in the summer, Yorkshire Ambulance Service bosses launched a campaign urging people to take extra care in and around open water during the warm weather.
The water in the quarry was also dyed black to deter people from swimming.
Vince Larvin, from the service, said: "Yorkshire's many waterways are popular destinations for people during the summer months, which can make them dangerous places for those who don't understand the risks they are taking."

Roman Aqueduct
Water. One of the greatest necessities for life. A dependable and available source of clean water is as paramount a need today as it was for ancient man. The conquering Roman Empire, the philosophical Greeks, God's chosen people in Israel, and all the dozens of other great ancient cultures; where would those peoples and their grand civilizations be without readily available water?
Of course, one could not imagine Rome without its aqueducts; those incredible feats of engineering, capable of transporting clean water from the springs in the mountains to the flourishing cities. But those amazing structures, beautiful and essential as they were to survival, were also the first things that invading armies choose to target in order to defeat their enemies. With the water supply cut off, a city's days are numbered.
In response, great minds devised a way to protect their watery lifelines from attack in the form of tunnels. Instead of moving the water above the ground, vulnerable to destruction, the water could be moved secretly below the surface. Two ancient tunnels in particular are considered the greatest works of water engineering technology in the Pre-Classical Period: the Tunnel of Eupalinos on Samos Island, and Hezekiah's Tunnel in Jerusalem.
The Tunnel of Eupalinos
The Eupalinos Tunnel
Travel back in time to the Greek City-State of Samos in the Eastern Aegean Sea, 530 BC.[1] The ruling tyrant Polycrates, an ambitious man of those times, built up fortifications along this island, his naval base of power. But Samos had a problem that plagued many cities in this arid terrain: a dependable source of clean drinking water. The Island of Samos did boast a natural spring, but between the spring and the city was the formidable Mt. Castro.[2] Building an above-ground aqueduct around the mountain was a possibility, however, a military minded man such as Polycrates knew that such structures were the first to be destroyed by invading hordes. So another method of moving the water across such a vast distance had to be worked out.
Polycrates turned to an engineer named Eupalinos from Megara to head a team in solving this problem. Eupalinos was the student of the "Father of Numbers", the great mathematician Pythagoras also a native of Samos. It was Pythagoras' famous Pythagorean Theorem that made it possible for Eupalinos to solve the problem. The geometric theorem states that in a right-angled triangle the square of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle), c, is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides, b and a.[3]
Instead of going around the mountain, Eupalinos proposed a tunnel going straight through Mt. Castro. This would have been a lengthy and dangerous undertaking. But with enemy attacks on the island looming in the future, Eupalinos proposed an even bolder plan to speed things along. Instead of beginning at one end and exiting out the other, two tunnels would be constructed from either end and, hopefully, meet in the middle. Eupalinos was the first to use a geometry-based approach to excavate a tunnel from both sides and if his measurements were off, the two tunnels could pass by one another and never know.
Eupalinos Tunnel
"Engineering an Empire- Greece" History Channel Documentary
Eupalinos succeeded in this enterprise by using geometry to calculate two sides of a right triangle around the mountain, so that the path of the hypotenuse would become the path of the tunnel through the mountain. Incredibly, the two tunnels connected in the middle almost exactly where Eupalinos had predicted, with only 24 inches difference between each tunnel floor where they connected.[4]
This tunnel, stretching nearly 4,000 ft.[5] from the spring to the city, took on the name of its engineer and remains one of the greatest water engineering achievements of ancient times.
Hezekiah's Tunnel
The second great example of water engineering lies beneath Jerusalem and was constructed even earlier than Eupalino's tunnel, around 701 B.C, during the reign of King Hezekiah.[6]
"Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah – all his might, and how me made a pool and a tunnel and brought water into the city – are they not in the book of the chronicles of the Kings of Judah?" (2 Kings 20:20 NKJV)
This tunnel was indeed documented in the Old Testament and by other sources as well. King Hezekiah had this tunnel constructed for the same reasons that Polycrates had the Eupalinos Tunnel constructed, the threat of invasion.
"And when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come, and that his purpose was to make war against Jerusalem he consulted with his leaders and commanders to stop the water from the springs which were outside the city; and they helped him. Thus many people gathered together who stopped all the springs and brook that ran through the land, saying, "Why should the kings of Assyria come and find much water?" (2 Chronicles 32:2-4 NKJV)
Gihon Spring
Hezekiah had the springs outside the city blocked off so that the enemy army wouldn't have a source of water, meanwhile, Jerusalem was being supplied by their underground water system. The tunnel's source was the Gihon spring. This natural spring, whose name means "gushing", is estimated to have been capable of supporting a population of 2,500 people. The tunnel itself follows an "S" shape and stretches 1,750 feet under Jerusalem, from the Gihon Spring to the Pool of Siloam.[7] This tunnel was also excavated from both sides, but followed a windy path, perhaps a natural crack in the rock, and met in the middle.
An inscription left by the workers was found in 1880 and reveals how the tunnel was cut out from the rock.
"…And this is the account of the tunneling through. While [the workmen raised] the pick each toward his fellow and while there [remained] to be tunneled [through, there was heard] the voice of the man calling to his fellow, for there was a split in the rock on the right hand and on [the left hand]. And on the day of the tunneling through the workmen stuck, each in the direction of his fellow, pick against pick. And the water started flowing from the source to the pool, twelve hundred cubits. And the height of the rock above the head of the workmen was a hundred cubits."[8]
Wading down the length of Hezekiah's tunnel remains a highlight of tourists in the city of Jerusalem.
The Romans, Greeks, and Jews all possessed the knowledge to change their environment to suit their needs, in this case building aqueducts or digging underground waterways. They were not the only cultures on the planet to have this knowledge either. Though we do not have time to go over them in this article, please continue to explore!
Jesus answered and said to her, "Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again; but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life." (John 4:13-14)

Today has been damn annoying.
Did you know that bandaids don't adhere to nipples?
I do.
And that when everything hurts it takes A VERY FUCKING LONG TIME to work out where the blood is coming from when you are bleeding in the shower.
And that when you are bleeding in the shower it looks like a lot more blood than it actually is.
And then when I FINALLY got to work I spent FOREVER perfecting a damn document with so much fucking Italian in it I was beginning to talk with my hands and then I fucked it up.
You know when you know you shouldn't do something and then you do it? I did that.
I was all, Kelley what ever you do DO NOT PRESS PF3 when you get to the end. FOR THE LOVE OF LOUBOUTIN WHATEVER YOU DO. DO NOT DO THAT. It fucks up everything in the program if you do that.
So what did I do?
So I went for a rage walk in the rain.
And got myself a nice case of horrendous motherfucking hair to go with my rage and bleeding nipple.
Did you know it is only NINE DAYS INTO THE NEW YEAR?
*cue hysterical laughter*
Do you press buttons when you know you shouldn't?
Have you sliced off a nipple?
What's for dinner?

- 1 small beef roast
- 1/2 large white onion, sliced
- 1 envelope dry onion soup mix
- 1 20 oz cola soft drink **not diet**
- Combine all ingredients in the order listed above into medium or large crock-pot.
- Cook on LOW for 6-8 hours.
- Enjoy!
This recipe has surprised my sons. The last time I made roast using this recipe, my second son walked into the kitchen as I was pouring the soft drink into the crock-pot and was totally confused by my actions.
However, when he tasted the end results - he was quite pleased!
For dinner we added home fries (oven baked, seasoned sliced potatoes), steamed brussel sprouts, and stuffing.
Best meal this week in our house!
**Hints: A single can of soda isn't really enough, unless you are preparing a small roast. I bought the 20 ounce bottle because it is the right size and we don't keep this kind of soft drink in our pantry. This recipe is a little sweeter, so if you prefer a more savory roast beef...use less soft drink and substitute either water or beef broth for the removed liquid. Get the family involved! This recipe is so easy....even my children can make it! Enjoy!!**

Three-Dimensional SPIHT Coding of Volume Images with Random Access and Resolution Scalability

© E. Christophe andW. A. Pearlman. 2008
- Received: 11 September 2007
- Accepted: 26 March 2008

End users of large volume image datasets are often interested only in certain features that can be identified as quickly as possible. For hyperspectral data, these features could reside only in certain ranges of spectral bands and certain spatial areas of the target. The same holds true for volume medical images for a certain volume region of the subject's anatomy. High spatial resolution may be the ultimate requirement, but in many cases a lower resolution would suffice, especially when rapid acquisition and browsing are essential. This paper presents a major extension of the 3D-SPIHT (set partitioning in hierarchical trees) image compression algorithm that enables random access decoding of any specified region of the image volume at a given spatial resolution and given bit rate from a single codestream. Final spatial and spectral (or axial) resolutions are chosen independently. Because the image wavelet transform is encoded in tree blocks and the bit rates of these tree blocks are minimized through a rate-distortion optimization procedure, the various resolutions and qualities of the images can be extracted while reading a minimum amount of bits from the coded data. The attributes and efficiency of this 3D-SPIHT extension are demonstrated for several medical and hyperspectral images in comparison to the JPEG2000 Multicomponent algorithm.

Lone Star Rising: The Revolutionary Birth of the Texas Republic by William C. Davis. Author Davis begins the book early in the 19th century, putting the scramble for Texas in the context of the Napoleonic Wars which weakened Spain and thus Spain's hold on its colonies in the Americas, and resulted in the sale of the Louisiana territory by France to the United States. He also puts it in the context of the revolutionary fever that swept from the creation of the United States (and the French and Haitian revolutions) through the Spanish colonies in South America, and finally to Mexico.
Texas then was a region quite different than the State of Texas now. It was the agriculturally rich coastal plane that ended at the Balcones Escarpment (see map below). Far from Mexico City, this was a region under Spain with only a few thousand inhabitants owing allegiance to Spain, who were threatened by Comanches; that population actually decreased in the first decades of the 19th century. Not surprisingly, the region was attractive to filibusters, but none in the early part of the century managed to displace the Spanish rulers. With the success of the Mexican revolution, American settlers were invited into the region under conditions such as their accepting Mexican governance and the Catholic religion. Large amounts of land, cheap were a powerful attraction.
On page 13, Author Davis mentions José Gabriel Condorcanqui as starting the last major Indian uprising against the Spanish in 1781, an uprising that besieged Cusco. I think of Condorcanqui under the name he assumed, Túpac Amaru II. I also associate that uprising with Túpac Katari from Ayo Ayo, a village in Bolivia that I once visited.
The picture I get from the earliest part of the book is of adventurers with little capacity to achieve their wild ends failing again and again as they tried to steal a large and valuable piece of land from Spain. The Mexican government, in the years after the successful separation from Spain, was very weak and unable to exercise power over the very distant land of Texas. In this respect, Davis's book on Texas history also sheds some light on California history which was the subject of a recent meeting of the History Book Club to which I belong.

Children of former Peruvian leader seek father's pardon
Oct. 11 - Family of imprisoned former Peruvian leader Alberto Fujimori calls for a humanitarian pardon for their cancer-stricken father. Sarah Sheffer reports.
The children of former Peruvian President Alberto Fujimori. They're appealling to President Ollanta Humala for a humanitarian pardon for their father - who has oral cancer. 74-year-old Fujimori is serving a 25-year prison sentence for corruption and human rights crimes. The case has fuelled debate in congress, where members of Peru's right-wing Fuerza 2011 party are backing the pardon plea. (SOUNDBITE) (Spanish) CONGRESS MEMBER, OCTAVIO SALAZAR, SAYING: "The basis of the issue is medical, it's the illness that is still with the former president and for us it seems correct that the president of the Republic uses his power to grant a humanitarian pardon." But Congress member Maria Del Carmen Omonte said a pardon would be controversial and impact on Peru's democracy and reconciliation process. Fujimori's authoritarian government collapsed in 2000 after a decade in power. He eventually fled to Chile but was extradited back to Peru in 2007 and sentenced to prison for theft and using death squads to crack down on insurgents.

- § 2339A. Providing material support to terrorists
"(a) OFFENSE.—Whoever, within the United States, provides material support or resources or conceals or disguises the nature, location, source, or ownership of material support or resources, knowing or intending that they are to be used in preparation for, or in carrying out, a violation of section 32, 37, 81, 175, 351, 831, 842 (m) or (n), 844 (f) or (i), 956, 1114, 1116, 1203, 1361, 1362, 1363, 1366, 1751, 2155, 2156, 2280, 2281, 2332, 2332a, 2332b, or 2340A of this title or section 46502 of title 49, or in preparation for, or in carrying out, the concealment from the commission of any such violation, shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than 10 years, or both.

In April, with the race for president still far away, President Obama used his speech at the annual White House Correspondents Dinner to poke fun at some likely Republican contenders, needling Jeb Bush's efforts to court Latinos and Ted Cruz's denial of climate change.
"And," he added caustically, "Donald Trump is here. Still."
Jumbo screens showed the billionaire businessman waving affably from a back table. But the idea of a Trump candidacy was the punch line, and the Washington media and political elites packed in the ballroom laughed in appreciation.
More super PAC money has been spent promoting Jeb Bush than any other candidate in the 2016 presidential race.
But to hear Bush tell it, he hasn't been paying much attention.
He said Wednesday he wasn't concerned about complaints from Republican rival Marco Rubio that attack ads funded with that super PAC money were hurting the party — and that voters would figure things out.
For Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, the endorsement of Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa), a firebrand conservative who is popular on the far right, was a boost to his campaign in the crowded GOP presidential field.
But with such an endorsement can also come baggage. That was the case Wednesday when King commented not only on the conservative credentials of South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, but on her looks as well.
"I think she's beautiful," said King, according to the Associated Press, when talking about Haley, who delivered the GOP rebuttal Tuesday night to President Obama's State of the Union address.
The attacks have come in numerous television interviews and before thousands at GOP rallies, but Donald Trump's questioning of Ted Cruz's eligibility to become president appears to have had little sway in a critical place: Iowa.
In what's become a neck-and-neck race between the two candidates to win the Feb.1 caucuses, Trump has sought to raise concerns among Republican voters about Cruz being born in Canada to an American mother and Cuban father.
Well, I'll fund my campaign.
With soft-spoken but undeniably tart words, South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley vaulted onto the national stage Tuesday night for the second time in less than a year, going after both President Obama and presidential candidates in her own Republican Party. The question left unanswered: Did she do herself good or harm — or both — in her response to the president's State of the Union address?
Some Democrats watching Haley's speech — which followed Obama's final State of the Union of his presidency — praised her, albeit largely because of her explicit criticism of her party. Republicans seemed split, with some embracing her remarks and others put out that she used the significant platform to tweak her own party and its candidates.
At the very least, if Haley increased her standing in the illusory vice presidential sweepstakes of some candidates, she took herself off front-runner Donald Trump's short list.
Republican candidates took turns attacking President Obama's final State of the Union address, calling him "divisive" and his address an unrealistic view of the world.
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz referred to the speech as the "state of denial."
Most attacked Obama's foreign policy and blamed him for the conflics with Islamic State and with countries in the Middle East.
As Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders edges closer in the race for the Democratic nomination, Hillary Clinton said she isn't worried.
Clinton told CNN on Tuesday that the road to the presidency is "hard, long and challenging" for any candidate — herself included.
Clinton reminded CNN host Alisyn Camerota that she campaigned in the 2008 race until June of that year. She said polls don't offer predictable results, so she doesn't pay attention to the numbers, including surveys that show Sanders with a sizable lead in New Hampshire and ahead in some in Iowa.
For one last time, President Obama took to the rostrum of the House chamber, observing an old ritual with a new purpose: shaping history.
Obama's final State of the Union address Tuesday night was no nostalgia trip, though the president and many around him were mindful of its timing, nearly eight years to the day after an Iowa victory launched his unlikely path to the White House.
It was a chance for reflection and a bit of self-congratulation, not least for helping the nation rebound from its worst economic downturn in more than half a century — though he was careful to credit the American people and acknowledge their continued unease.

I'm so happy about the collection of Seal and Send Wedding Invitations that my company has created this year. It's funny how it goes with a new product idea. We'd been wanting to create this style of invitation for a while but it was only once it captured the imagination of one of our designers that it actually happened. Despite a few false starts with figuring our postal requirements in Canada and the US, we launched first with three special designs.
Over the last months, we've been adding more and designs. Many of the designs are also available in single panel format, like the Romantic Lace Seal and Send Wedding Invitations.
And what's awesome about this style is that it combines the invitation and reply card into one all in one wedding invitation. There's no mailing envelope, so you save the waste and expense of the envelopes. And the piece is so fun to receive - open it up and the design unfolded panel by panel.
Check out all of the designs of Seal and Send Wedding Invitations here and let me know what you think!

The name of this blog may seem to be at once innocuous and presumptuous. Innocuous because a pencil is hardly ever credited with might over the sword, and its work remains but a fleeting foreshadow of even history's greatest brushwork or chiseling. Presumptuous because claiming belonging to God seems to imply a claim of being a 'chosen one'. The name though is intended to emphasize the relation between our humblest possessions and our Highest Purpose; our smallest belongings and our Greatest Longings.
Like the strokes of a pencil, my life and message have no suggestion of finality about them, and their characteristic is tentativeness...and possibility. Like a pencil that is used to put parentheses and omission marks on print and create borders and outlines on sketchpads, the writings to come will attempt to define my context in Creation and also attempt to experience creation in my context. Read on. In a way, you can never use the same pencil twice!

The title sounded presumptuous at first. But I liked your explanation of it, and especially the metaphor of a pencil.
Although a pencil is lower in hierarchy to its inky counterpart, I have always 'penned' down my best poems with a pencil, albeit in the beginning, as a draft.
So, started blogging? You have atleast one guaranteed visitor :-)

Richard Nixon is easily the shadiest president America has seen in modern history, or perhaps ever. However, his lies and corruption might be eclipsed by incoming president-elect Donald Trump. Nixon's own lawyer has a few words to say about Trump – none of them good.
John Dean knows a thing or two about crookedness and lying, so it is REALLY saying something when he, the man who tried to keep Richard Nixon out of trouble, takes to Twitter to scold Trump. Dean tweeted:
"It is deeply troubling when you realize that the president-elect generally does not know what he is talking about."
"And when he does he lies."
It is deeply troubling when you realize that the president-elect generally does not know what he is talking about and when he does he lies.
— John Dean (@JohnWDean) December 29, 2016
Alongside Dean, more GOP types are putting their country before their party and calling out Trump for insulting and undermining United States intelligence agencies and their members in an effort to defend Russia and Vladimir Putin. Matthew Dowd, who helped run George W. Bush's 2004 campaign for re-election tweeted the following regarding Trump and Russia:
"Lets be clear: U aren't an American patriot & don't respect Constitution if u believe Putin more than our President and intelligent services."
Lets be clear: U aren't an American patriot & don't respect Constitution if u believe Putin more than our President and intelligent services
— Matthew Dowd (@matthewjdowd) December 29, 2016
These people and others are correct. Trump's behavior is downright disturbing, and it makes one wonder what he has in store for the nation for the next four years. He seems to be terribly ill-informed, and also an outright liar. What Trump is doing right now borders on treason, and he needs to do like other elected Republicans are doing and support President Obama's punishments for Russia's hacking into our election, accept what happened and why, and defend his country, as the oath of office he is about to take demands. If he cannot do that, he's got no business taking that oath in the first place.
