The Philippines is an archipelagic nation made up of 7,107 islands spanning 1,840 kilometers north to south. It is part of the East Indies, a vast island group lying south and east of mainland Asia, with Taiwan at its northernmost coast and Borneo on the south. The three main Philippine island groups are Luzon, the Visayas and Mindanao.
Luzon is the island of contrasts. The most modern districts in the Philippines, including the capital city of Manila, are in Luzon, but so are some of the oldest tribal communities in the nation like the Ifugao of the Cordilleras. Luzon is also where a visitor can see the latest model luxury cars overtaking a carabao sled or modern skyscrapers within driving distance of primordial volcanoes.
The Visayas is famous for its charm, a trait shared by many other southern regions in the world, but here seems to run deeper among a people who are intrinsically connected to their sun soaked island home. The Visayas is also famous as a seat of history, being one of the earliest landfalls of western voyagers. It has also gained a reputation as being a cradle of the nation's future, if the unprecedented economic growth of Cebu City continues.
Mindanao is our offering to the Guinness Book of Records with the world's largest clam, the world's largest Eagle, the nation's highest peak and the world's largest city. Mindanao is also home to the Philippines' Muslim population.
With a land mass of 300, 780 square kilometers, the Philippines is considered a medium-sized nation, about two- thirds the size of its first colonizer, Spain, and a little larger than the British Isles. Manila is only one hour and 40 minutes from Hong Kong by jet; Sydney only 7 1/2 hours away. Flights to Europe take 17 hours and to the American west coast 15 hours.
The Philippines has many things to offer the visitor: a mixture of the old and the new, a diversity of art and culture and a warm, friendly people. Blessed by nature, the Philippines has something to offer every sportsman too… extraordinary dive sites, forests to roam, mountains to climb, caves to explore.

DUBLIN, Ireland — The 85 billion euro ($113 billion) loan arrangement announced in Dublin Sunday has provoked intense dismay throughout Ireland that it will benefit the banks and their bondholders, while imposing crippling austerity measures on the people for years to come.
The small country on the Atlantic seaboard that was the envy of Europe until a few years ago now faces years of higher taxes, deterioration in essential services, lower wages and an annual exodus of young people graduating from college and unable to find work.
Members of the opposition accused the government of being bullied by the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) into swallowing a deal that imposes austerity and stifles economic growth. Labour spokeswoman Joan Burton summed up popular reaction, saying, "The country is banjaxed."
Up to 35 billion euros of the 85 billion euro rescue package will be diverted to the domestic banks that brought on the crisis through reckless and irresponsible lending before the property bubble burst. Jack O'Connor, general president of Ireland's largest trade union, SIPTU, complained bitterly that "the fund was earmarked to be poured into the black hole that the Irish banking system has become."
Announcing the deal in the government press center, Prime Minister Brian Cowen disclosed that the interest on the loans will average 5.8 percent, higher than for Greece, a rate that many economists say Ireland will not be able to afford. The level was evidently imposed partly to discourage other countries like Portugal from seeking similar deals.
Irish bank bondholders — investors who knew the risks — will not take losses, as German Chancellor Angela Merkel initially proposed. The European Central Bank made clear to the Irish that any default would threaten financial stability in Europe. Putting the best face on the resulting, catastrophic, financial burden, Cowen said the government did not burn the bondholders as Ireland "is not an irresponsible country."
However, under Cowen's watch — and in a culture of cronyism among politicians, bankers, developers and speculators that his Fianna Fail party encouraged — the Emerald Isle has ceased to be a sovereign country. This was symbolically underlined when, after Cowen disclosed the deal to the nation, his place in the government press center was taken by two officials from the IMF and a bureaucrat from the European Central Bank, who proceeded to tell reporters what they had in store for the nation.
The Irish crisis began on Sept. 30, 2008, when the government announced that it would guarantee all deposits in Irish banks and mortgage providers. A number of banks were on the point of collapse as investors were losing confidence amid falling property values and withdrawing billions in deposits. Since then almost 40 billion euros has been injected into AIB, Bank of Ireland and Anglo Irish Bank.
Irish voters expressed their anger on the streets of Dublin Saturday when some 60,000 people, many of them middle-aged and middle class, braved record low temperatures to complain of being betrayed by the Fianna Fail-led government.
"This is not a rescue plan," said one of the organizers of the protest, journalist and author Fintan O'Toole. "It is the longest ransom note in history … . On the one side we will borrow yet more billions to bail out the bankers, and the other side of this deal is that society is supposed to declare war on the poor and vulnerable."
Camera crews from all over the world covered the event, but were denied any outbreak of violence like that which convulsed Greece during its bailout crisis. Apart from a few scuffles between police and a break-away group, the mass protest was peaceful. The slogans were directed against the government rather than the IMF. Banners carried such slogans as "Fianna Fail, your time is up," and caricatures of Cowen portrayed as a puppet of the banks.
Protesters, like student Annie McNamara, came from across the country to protest. McNamara traveled the 156 miles from Cork with her family because "this is our kids' future they are playing with, they're going to destroy everything — you cut from education, you cut from health care, what sort of life will they have?"
Ajai Chopra, deputy director of the IMF's European Department, expressed pleasant surprise at the warm greetings he received from members of the public as he walked the half mile from his hotel to the Irish Central Bank every day during a week-long negotiation. This was partly because he did not use a limousine, in contrast to Irish cabinet ministers whose over-indulgence in the perks of office, such as the use of expensive limousines for short journeys, has helped stir public outrage.
Cowen, who justified the "dig-out" from the IMF and the European Central Bank as necessary to allow Ireland to fund its budgets over the coming years, faces a catastrophic political defeat in the next Irish general election, to be held by March at the latest. Before that he will introduce a harsh budget based on a crippling four-year plan negotiated with the IMF and European Central Bank, which the opposition will be powerless to modify in office. The deal has been done and Ireland, not just Fianna Fail, is now being punished for the profligacy of its elite.

I have been emailing my stepdaughter in Australia about recipes. She requested some of my "failsafe", simple family favourites so I duly sent instructions out about what I do. A slightly irate email came back as she had had disasters with her toffee banana ice-cream and the sour cream pastry. She claims my recipes are not "foolproof" (her choice of words, not mine!). It made me realise how difficult it can be to tell people what to do when you can't see them, they can't ask questions and you don't know what they don't know.

What is going on when change seems impossible?
How many times have you made a sensible decision that you know is attainable and which you know you want to implement. You may have even checked that it is SMART or run it through a well-formed outcomes analysis if you have any knowledge of NLP. Yes this is the decision that you need and want and it passes all the rational decision making criteria that you know about.
So how come after half an hour, a day or even a week, you find yourself doing the opposite of what you had absolutely, definitely decided you were going to do every day/never again. It can feel as if someone else taken over the controls to your life.
Why tall people earn more and how you can look taller
I intended to listen to Daniel Finkelstein on Radio 4 this morning but missed it, and for some reason it is not on iplayer. The programme is basically about pay but he touched on the issue of why tall, attractive people earn more. This is an idea that I am acquainted with and there has been quite a lot of research that suggests this is true. Sad, perhaps, but true. Sad not just because tall, beautiful people are richer, but also because the benefits extend to lots of areas of life. They are also more likely to get off in court (so make sure you look your best when you go to plead to get off your parking fine), are more likely to be offered jobs in the first place, have more friends and be considered more intelligent. These are just some of the benefits I can remember off the top of my head.

Issues and solutions for dealing with finFETs.
Tamer Ragheb, digital design methodology technical lead at GlobalFoundries about what's changed with 14nm finFETs, including coloring with double patterning, new corners, Miller Effects, timing issues and variability.
Combining the flexibility of a FPGA with the performance and cost benefits of an SoC is pushing this technology well into the mainstream.
Why the promise of unlimited power in end devices has achieved only spotty success.
Pre-characterized tiles can move Moore's Law forward, but it's not as easy as it looks.
Inefficient conversion of RF to digital and continuous connectivity issues are causing thermal problems, threatening signal integrity and reliability.
Government and private organizations developing blueprints for semiconductor industry as threat level rises.
New market opportunities and global competitiveness are limited by qualified people.
Researchers digging into ways around the von Neumann bottleneck.
The promise of advanced packaging is being able to integrate heterogeneous chips, but a lot of work is needed to make that happen.
Better algorithms and more data could bolster adoption, particularly at advanced nodes.
30 facilities planned, including 10/7nm processes, but trade war and economic factors could slow progress.
Why this choice isn't as obvious as it might look.
Improvement still needed for uptime, defectivity, line edge roughness and process flows.

Algodonares – Spain.
Posted on December 3, 2014
We had come to Algodonales so that Shaun could Paraglide around the local mountains. We had been told that the flying conditions here at this time of year were good and warm weather too. We hoped we would not be disappointed on both accounts.
We had checked Internet sites and consulted the Aires book, to see if there was any campsites nearby, nada! So we asked a restaurant if we could park in their car park for the night, if we ate in the restaurant. They didn't mind at all, so out came the wine and there we stayed for the night.
Shaun took Jäger out for his morning walk and came back all smiles. He'd found a campsite with all the amenities. It was tucked away down a bumpy stony track not very far from the restaurant, to our delight!!! Happy bunnies allround.
The campsite was a nice place to be based. It had a swimming pool and an outside bar that was very popular when the guys got back from flying. The campsite cost us €12 a night that was for two of us and the Motorhome. Included in this price was electric, water, showers and WIFI. There was addition cost of €5.00 per trip to and from the landing and take off sites.
There were a few English staying here, all were Paragliders. Once the guys had gone off flying for the day, it just left Jager and I at the campsite. We did a few runs, but couldn't let Jäger off for his mad dashes, as there were no open areas. The hills were very challenging and resulted in aches and pains that evening.
While Shaun was out Paragliding Jäger and I had a walk to the local town that was a 20 min away. We found a supermarket here that I could buy basic supplies, bread, milk, meat. There were also a few fresh home grown vegetable shops which were very cheap.
Shaun said the paragliding was different from flying Chamonix, and Laragne in the Pyreness. It was both dynamic and thermic, but really smooth air, although he had been told it gets gnarly in the heat of summer. He managed a few 2hour flights which he really enjoyed before his old mans bladder kicked in!!!
While we were there Shaun managed a MTB ride it was hilly and fast he said but it didn't have any single track to his disappointment!! He also completed a couple of road bike rides taking advantage of the good weather. He said the roads were good with a few cheeky hills. A nice sporty area, he was happy bless!!
The weather was in deed nice and warm for Nov about 19′- 20'degrees most days. During our 5 days stay we had a morning of rain. But blue skies did come out in the afternoon.
I do hope to return again soon. The roads looked great for road biking and there are a few more places I would like to go and explore.
Next stop for us now is Morocco. Bring it on!!

Razorwyre - Coming Out Review
Razorwyre is a five piece band out of Wellington, New Zealand who plays some blistering, faceripping speed metal, or as they call themselves "Traditional Speed Heavy Metal." They don't even bother trying to reinvent metal at all on this EP, but instead to play as old school as possible in the vein of two of the greatest metal bands to ever strap on a guitar, Judas Priest and Iron Maiden and I'll say they did a pretty good job of doing it. Now for the review.
Party of Five - This track literally screams old school as it opens with a thrashy riff and a primal scream from the singer. The verse and the chorus on this track are pretty good, but the real good stuff comes at the second half of the song when it goes into the cools solos and ends with some really good melodic harmonies. 3.7/5.
Fuck You Tonight - Just looking at this title I immediately think of the glam bands from the Hollywood scene in the 80's and this track is a bit heavier but that sexual lust remains. 3.3/5.
Operation Market Garden - The best track off of the EP. This song just oozes of Judas Priest influences with the awesome harmony riffs, over the top vocals and great solos. 4.5/5.
Suspiria - This song features some good mixture of melody, speed and heaviness and compliments the rest of the songs on the EP quite well, as far as the flow of the album goes. It's even got a cool solo with an outro featuring a galloping riff and sound clips. 3.5/5.
Battleshark - I really dug this track from the start as it had a cool ass intro and gradually took me into the song with a heavier riff that eventually becomes a much faster riff. The song never looks back from there and features some really good riffs halfway through the song and utilizes some brilliant solos over the chorus near the end. 4.0/5.
At first glance I thought that this band was gonna be a typical, generic band that just wanted to play metal they fell in love with but I was close to right as they do play the music that they love but they are far from your typical, generic retro band. They know how to play it right. If I were going to grade this EP just based on solos it probably would've got 100%, I honestly feel that those were the best part of the EP.
Feel free to check them out at the following links and until next time peace.http://myspace.com/razorwyreband
Final rating - 3.8/5 or 76%.

With the increasing trend of online casinos in Jakarta, Indonesia many unscrupulous elements have infiltrated the legal business of online gambling. As per the data provided by the National Police Chief of Jakarta there are more than 146 illegal online casinos which are operating in the country. The police had taken an action against these sites and blocked the accounts of these online casinos.
The online gambling action which had witnessed a steady increase in the past couple of years in Indonesia led to the rise of these types of establishments and was discovered by the local police while making the routine monitoring of the online casinos operating in the country. In the earlier period of time, the gambling activities on these online casinos were limited to operations like Togel which are now using state of the art software for this illegal activity.
Out of these 146 online casinos, 96 were found out to be fictitious with fake addresses and search is still going on regarding the remaining online casinos under scrutiny. In order to counter this illegal online gambling, a special team has been set up which will try to combat this illegal activities. To cut down the level of these activities, any online casino dealing with these types of activities will be immediately blocked.

Concentrating On The Important Things - Solar Thermal Power
While we spend a lot of time talking about traditional energy sources based on depleting resources that are extracted from the ground, I think its important to remember that the fastest growing sources of energy are solar and wind, and that these will never run out.
Tapping The Source: The Power Of The Oceans
A post examining the use of artificial islands to collect wind, wave, ocean current and solar power in the tropics, along with a more unusual energy source - harnessing the difference in water temperatures between the warm surface and the cold depths using a technique called OTEC (Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion).
Geothermal Energy: Geothermia
Crossposted from my blog Peak Energy as the subject of geothermal power has cropped up in the comments a few times lately.
Floating Offshore Wind Power
An update on a post I did last year on the potential for floating offshore wind power, which looked at a number of different prototypes at various stages of development.
The Limits To Scenario Planning
A review of some common misconceptions about the Limits to Growth book.
Iraq's Oil: The Greatest Prize Of All
In this post I'll outline why I believe that Iraq probably has the world's largest oil reserves - or, as Daniel Yergin once said of the middle east, it is "the greatest single prize in all history".
Natural Gas In Australia - How Long Will It Last?
In this post I have a look at how much gas Australia has and how long it will last under a variety of scenarios.
Coal Seam Gas In Australia
In this post I look at recent events in the gas industry and what they mean for Australian gas production in future.
The Hydrogen Economy and Peak Platinum
A comprehensive review of the issues involved in the "hydrogen economy".
Hubbert: King Of The Technocrats
In this post I explore the Technocracy movement and Hubbert's role in it
Locabucks: Are local currencies a way to escape the liquidity trap?
I look at the concept of local currencies (or "locabucks" as I'm now dubbing them), an idea which has its roots in the Great Depression as a mechanism for escaping the liquidity trap - and thus might be relevant again in the not-too distant future if present trends continue.
Terra Preta: Biochar and the MEGO Effect
In this post I have a look at modern day techniques to produce terra preta (often called biochar or agrichar) which have the potential to increase soil fertility, generate energy and sequester carbon all at the same time.
Buckminster Fuller's Critical Path
A review of Buckminster Fuller's last work, Critical Path.
Is It Time For a 4 Day Working Week?
In this post I look at various proposals to reduce the amount of time we spend at work, as a way of addressing energy, environmental and other issues facing us.
Peak Oil And The Tea Party Movement
In this post I have a look at the boost this (peak oil) is likely to give to populist politics and some of the possibilities for addressing this.
David Clarke
The Failure of Networked Systems: The Repercussions of Systematic Risk Revisited
Cascading collapse and why the corporate drive towards increasing efficiencies could be driving our interacting networked systems towards this mode of collapse.
The Networking of Resource Production: Do the Networks Give us Warnings when They are About to Fail?
The flaw in the techno-cornucopian dream: Modeling why and how a networked resource-extraction system fails.
The Freezing Point Of Industrial Society
This piece considers that industrialisation could only happen with cheap fuels, and by looking at the countries of the world, tries to figure out just how cheap fuel has to be before lots of people start using it – before a country can industrialise with fossil fuels. The flipside to this is seeing how expensive fuel must be before it deindustrialises. This then gives us a clue to if and when will industrial society will end.
Phil Hart
Meet Trev: A two-seater renewable energy vehicle
I believe there is instead a bright future for a spectrum of 'micro' electric vehicles, from battery powered bicycles up to compact size cars, including this new concept car named Trev (Two-seater Renewable Energy Vehicle).
International Energy Agency calls 'Peak' on OECD Oil Demand
In World Energy Outlook 2009, the International Energy Agency seems to have dropped a bombshell that has been quietly (and politely) ignored.
The Economics of Volatile Oil Prices
Considering the fundamental nature of oil supply and demand provides a coherent explanation not just for the rapid rise in oil prices, but also the dramatic fall.
The 2008 IEA WEO - Oil Reserves and Resources
Despite significant changes, the 2008 IEA report still relies on inflated estimates of reserves from OPEC countries, overplays the contribution of reserves growth due to technology and predicts the reversal of a decades long trend of declining oil discoveries.
Oil, House Prices, Credit? Three parts of the same story
The long forgotten 'oil crisis' of just a few months ago has been replaced by a full blown 'credit crisis' - related events that represent the unravelling of half a century of unsustainable trends in oil consumption and debt.
High-Tech Hitchhiking
Could a hitchhiking scheme for the iPhone era work in practice and change attitudes to hitching a ride?
How Technology Increases Oil Production
How can you double something and still have ten times less than you started with? The answer to this question will help us reassess claims that advances in oil field technology will postpone the peak in global oil production.
Oil Reserves: Where Ghawar goes, the rest of OPEC follows
In May 2007, the work of Stuart Staniford and Euan Mearns culminated in a new and unprecedented assessment of oil reserves in Ghawar, the world's largest oil field. This article combines their assessment with additional information sources, to produce a revised estimate of reserves in Saudi Arabia and the other OPEC countries.

We are living in an abomination (Obama nation) where food is poison yet somehow a major form of leverage for "negotiating" with Europe, who bans most GMO food from the U.S. force-export program. Thanks to the TransAtlantic Trade and Investment "Partnership." Now it seems U.S. Corporations will be able to simply bypass all this European boycotting of U.S. pesticide food, and get away with a new style of "murder" by feeding countries bug and weed killer that all those pesky "organic" consumers in the U.S. aren't buying. I wonder just how many true organic people are sustaining themselves right now in the U.S., resisting the influx of cancer food the U.S. Government pushes, in every store and restaurant where Big Food and Big Agriculture reign supreme. Free trade now means "Partners in Crime." You are witnessing the Obamanation Nation forcefeeding the rest of the world our cancer food. In fact, take a big guess what is the biggest money maker right now for the U.S. Government? And survey says … Yes, you guessed it, GMO food! Most people would guess the Industrial War Complex in the Middle East, Wall Street insider trading, Big Pharma, or maybe Bill Gates and McDonald's, but they would be wrong. GMO, genetically modified food, is making more money by making humans sick than anything ever besieged on a population in the history of mankind. This sickness is driving 85% of Americans to allopathic doctors who prescribe pharmaceuticals created by Nazi scientists for American entities that control the food. It's as simple as that.
TV, Obama, Free Trade, and lots of GMO LIES:
Can you count from 1 to 4? Then you can understand that toxic pesticide and herbicide food is the number one breadwinner in the Universe right now, and Obama's FREE TRADE deal with Europe is the best name disguise for food terror anyone could ever use. Have you ever noticed that most billboard ads on the highway advertise the exact opposite of what they are? Bad food, bug infested hotels, commercial tobacco outlets and shopping outlets tell you everything they don't really have is what you'll get. In the same light, Obama promises the exact opposite of his plan, and you "will pay a lot for that muffler." All the 1% (Rich Gurus) in politics are heavily invested in GMO and Big Pharma. They buy shares and stock in chemotherapy drugs and radiation equipment manufacturers, they buy stock in the companies that manufacture Aspartame and MSG, and the Health Care Giants invest in Fast Food, oh yes they do!
Here's the report from Natural News:
"Contradicting promises he once made back on the campaign trail to protect the environment and defend the public against unscrupulous corporate interests, Barack Obama is currently pushing for the establishment of two new "free trade" agreements that would not only allow corporations to undermine the rule of law here in the U.S., but also railroad through forced acceptance of genetically-modified organisms (GMOs) in the European Union (EU) and elsewhere, where existing regulatory policies largely prohibit their cultivation and unlabeled sale."
Learn more: http://www.naturalnews.com/041251_Obama_GMOs_free_trade_agreements.html#ixzz2ZP1jUrIk
Say goodbye to the environment, food safety and public health; Obamacare and GMO's are being forced on the masses without any law to stop it now:
"Foreign corporations operating within the U.S. would be permitted to appeal key American legal or regulatory rulings to an international tribunal," writes Zach Carter for the Huffington Post. "That international tribunal would be granted the power to overrule American law," and even proceed to exploit the legal system for the purpose of extracting money from taxpayers in the process.

Dear Mr. Trump, I was deeply embarrassed to find out that the petition to ban you from the UK was started by a Scot.
I'm even more embarrassed that, during our Parliamentary debate this week, one of the few outspoken supporters of the ban was a Member of the Scottish Parliament.
I was especially embarrassed by the response of our leaders who revoked your role as Business Ambassador.
Historically, Scotland has played a strong role in the advancement of science, economics and philosophy. We gave the world David Hume, Lord Kelvin, Alexander Fleming, James Clerk Maxwell and Adam Smith, to name a few. Scotland was instrumental in building the US and Canada.
Modern Scotland, however, seems to be in the grip of a collective mental disorder when it comes to Islam, which I can illustrate with a few examples:
* Scottish politicians kicked up more of a fuss about you than about any of the dangerous radical Islamic terrorists on a list of people banned from entering the country.
* According to our First Ministers' Christmas card, the Muslim headscarf, the hijab, is a key part of Scottish culture.
* Scottish police are ill-prepared for a Paris-style terror attack. During previous attacks, it was up to citizens
to take care of terrorists:
* The Scottish government has funded questionable Islamic groups to the tune of hundreds of thousands of pounds.
* The Scottish government granted early release to the infamous Lockerbie bomber. He returned to Libya as a hero.
* They settle migrants on remote Scottish Islands where there aren't even jobs for locals.
* We have politicians with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.
It is obvious what is happening here:
Our leaders are scared.
They fear that Scottish Muslims are hypersensitive juveniles, and figure that relentless grovelling is the only thing stopping them from becoming suicide bombers.
Attempting to ban you is just a natural continuation of the pandering towards the Muslim community that has been going on for many years in my country.
I wonder if Scots know that your mother, who has the same first name as my mother, was born on the Isle of Lewis. Scots ought to be proud of this connection. They ought to be celebrating your success and supporting your campaign for the presidency.
Instead they would rather capitulate to a 7th century religion like "wee skleetit tim'rous beasties," to quote Robert Burns.
My sincere apologies on behalf of everyone who is as disappointed as I am,
A once proud Scot,

In The Look Back I will be looking at movies and television series/episodes with fairly recent anniversaries and writing about why I love them so. Basically it's a desperate attempt to write about things that would normally have very little relevance at all.
Nine years ago today the nominations for the 57th Primetime Emmy Awards were announced. 2005 was a simpler time; Everybody Loves Raymond led the pack with 10 nominations, Angela Lansbury received her 18th nomination, and Desperate Housewives became the second series ever to earn 3 nominations in a lead acting category (the other series? Golden Girls, of course). But not every nomination announced was as standard as expected. A small HBO drama well into its third year earned its first Emmy nomination ever in the Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series category. The series was The Wire, and the episode was "Middle Ground."
For some reason, "Middle Ground" was The Wire's first Emmy nomination ever. (The show would only come to earn one more nomination, for its series finale "–30–" again in Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series.) How is it that the most talked about series of its time took 3 years to earn an Emmy nomination? Well, because the voters who decide the Emmy nominations are a group of asinine dumbfucks. Regardless, "Middle Ground" has good reason for being The Wire's first Emmy nomination. It's a brilliant hour of storytelling (as most episodes of The Wire are) and stands out from every other episode of The Wire's 5 year run. This is because "Middle Ground" is something all other episodes of The Wire are not: a stand-alone episode of television.
What makes "Middle Ground" a stand-alone episode is that all of the major stories of Season 3 start to come to a head. McNulty and co. have successfully sold the Barksdale crew tapped phones and are thisclose to catching Stringer Bell. Bunny has given a presentation revealing the existence of Hamsterdam and Rawls and Mayor Royce are scrambling in how to explain it before the story breaks. Cutty is nearing his redemptive end. And there's Stinger and Avon, whose relationship is the heart of this episode. All of these stories are reaching their ends because "Middle Ground" is the penultimate episode of The Wire's 3rd season, but there's something about the narrative propulsion that brings a unique energy to the episode.
Take "Middle Ground"'s opening scene, for example, which is one of the greatest scenes in television history.
The scene is impeccably shot by episode director Joe Chappelle, whose blocking of the scene hearkens back to Sergio Leone westerns. But the scene works as well as it does not because of its incredible visual style, but because of the palpable energy that stems from a simple conversation between two characters, Omar and Brother Mouzone. (I'd love to show every Breaking Bad fan who thinks Gus Fring is the best television villain ever Brother Mouzone, who puts Fring to shame.) Every line crackles, and when watching the scene it feels like it's the most thrilling thing you'll ever see, even though it's just two men talking to each other. Immediately, "Middle Ground" finds energy and propulsion by simply trusting its characters, which is something that carries on throughout the entire episode.
Another benchmark sequence in "Middle Ground" is the collection of scenes where Bunny shows off his precinct to Carcetti. The scenes are made up of, again, two men talking to each other, this time about the simplicities of daily life in Baltimore. Bunny's precinct has turned into a "normal" neighborhood, something its residents haven't been used to, and the sequence relishes in the beauty that comes from this newfound normalcy. One scene that particularly comes to mind is when Bunny and Carcetti attend a community meeting.
It's a short scene that just features people talking, but the scene strikes a deeply emotional chord. It's a meditation on human connection. The collection of these scenes between Bunny and Carcetti feel like if Richard Linklater's Before trilogy was set in Baltimore, but that feeling comes to a crushing end once Carcetti reaches Hamsterdam. The close up of Carcetti's face realizing what Hamsterdam is is a shattering moment in a series full of them, but that devastation could not be achieved without the beauty of the scenes that preceded it.
And speaking of devastation: Stringer and Avon. As mentioned before, Stringer and Avon's relationship is the heart of "Middle Ground." It's been crumbling slowly, but in "Middle Ground" it reaches its breaking point. The last scene the two men share together is another hallmark one, as it is just Stringer and Avon reminiscing about where they've come from and where they stand now.
The scene is, again, filled with incredible dialogue, every line more loaded as the next. There's "We ain't gotta dream no more, man" the episode's epigraph, and the ending line of "Us, motherfucker." It's one of the most rich and textured scenes of television I've ever seen in my life, and it's only made possible by The Wire trusting its characters and believing in the small moments they're able to produce.
And it's made even more devastating by Stringer's death. The act of killing off Stringer Bell is an incredibly shocking, ambitious, and devastating one (I'd also love to show every Game of Thrones fan who thinks that the show's killing off of characters are the most ambitious in television history what The Wire did in 2004), but the most crushing thing about it is that it's just a small moment in The Wire's gigantic universe. Sure, Stringer's death causes serious complications for the Major Crimes Unit, but after the season finale The Wire just moves on.
Handling Stringer's death in this way brings perspective and gravity to the episode and series as a whole in a way that is, in the macro, uncommon for The Wire. The series has been lauded continuously for its tactfulness in understanding why institutions fail us, and its sweeping weightiness when exhausting the subject. But for my money, The Wire is not recognized enough for its smaller moments and perspective. The most striking thing about the series is how it's able to craft a gigantic and complex universe while still being able to deliver small and intimate character moments that feel just as weighty as its big picture ideas. This is readily apparent in "Middle Ground," as the episode is built on small and unique character moments which bring perspective, and is ultimately why the episode works on its own. It's what I love about The Wire, and it's why "Middle Ground" is the series' best episode.

text: I have worked as a Clinical Audiologist at HearingLife in Stirling since June, 2015. My first Audiology job after graduation was at a small clinic in the city. Before Audiology, I prepared non-English speakers for university, first in South Korea and China, and then at Flinders University. I became interested in hearing after writing an article for Policy magazine on the impact of glue ear on language acquisition for indigenous children. My research powerfully illustrated to me that good hearing helped children learn more, to communicate and relate better, and improved self-esteem. A 'deaf sentence' can be isolating, and I get great satisfaction out of matching needs with suitable technology. I won several prizes as an Audiology student, including the Staff Prize. I have published on hearing issues for journals including Audiology Now.

As fun as this is, all this mud slinging is really not getting us anywhere useful. Lets go back an look at the options we have to divorce Widgets/XML Dig Sig from Elliptic Curve: 1. Remove ECC from XML Dig Sig (in my opinion, "the right thing to do"™): pros: - frees both XML Dig Sig and Widgets Dig Sig to progress to REC at full speed. - begins a pattern of divorcing signature algorithms from processing (a good thing, which avoids this kind of mess!) cons: - new small spec needed - XML Dig Sig missing an important algorithm. 2. Pointing to /latest/ Pros: - Always pointing to Rec - Conformance always bound to latest Rec Cons: - As XML Dig Sig does not include SHA-256, this does not currently help Widgets Dig Sig progress - Conformance always bound to latest Rec Kind regards, Marcos And because I was told by some that this is very entertaining… though I personally don't want to spend time arguing in circles (and around the main point which is to progress Widgets Dig Sig)…. So some parting words :) On Tuesday, December 20, 2011 at 5:49 PM, Charles McCathieNevile wrote: > TL;DR: JC and Leonard are right.

I manage the conformance suites for WAC and for W3C Widgets, and the fact that we fix tests and patch specs every week is evidence otherwise. Almost all the standards I manage tests for are "done" (i.e., REC or close to / or equivalent in WAC), yet we continuously fix issues in both the tests and the specs. > Which is significantly worse than having > a statement of conformance to something known to contain errors and bugs. Leaving things broken is not in the interests of users or developers, and is bad business. One would not claim to conform to a broken test and would need to revise their conformance if a test is found to be broken after claiming conformance (hence, any claim to conformance is temporally bound and not forever). Furthermore, updates to software can again introduce regressions: hence, you constantly need to be checking if your software actually conforms because any update you make to software may break conformance (i.e., introduce a regression). This is common: http://my.opera.com/core/blog/2009/10/13/automated-testing-of-the-browser-core > Browsers don't implement "living standards".

If they implement the HTML5 spec, then they are implementing a living standard. You can dress the mutton as lamb all you want, but the fact remains that HTML5 is a living standard. > Browsers like Opera who have commercial enterprise customers work with > those customers to establish sensible conformance requirements that take > into account the evolutionary nature of the web (rather than arbitrary > stacks of requirements that happened to be easy to test), but neither side > wants a Statement of Work that doesn't actually clarify what is expected > to be delivered under a legally binding contract. I understand this business requirement, but it's flawed (or disingenuous): It makes no sense, for instance, to say to a costumer "we are going to implement the june 10th version of HTML5" because that version might be missing feature X (or feature X was badly specified, or changes, whatever). Also, any conformance tests will have been updated after June 10th, so you are screwed anyway (unless you took a snapshot of the test suite). But then when you ship your "June 10" snapshot, developers cry foul because the feature does not match the behavior of the latest version of HTML5… So then your customer is pissed off because you delivered what was in your contract, but no one wants to use the software because it's outdated and buggy (you tell your developers "oh! it's based on an old, outdated, spec… sorry guys, we were under contract to deliver something outdated to you… have fun working around it!"… and you tell your client, "oh, that's what you paid for. Thanks! enjoy the mass of angry devs and users, suckers!"). Meanwhile, your competitor did the right thing and kept up with the latest spec: they take all the developers and leave your ecosystem for dead. I.e., snapshotting is a nice form of commercial suicide, and you will just have to catch up. Sure, you will make a quick buck, but it will just lead to a market failure. Better is to have a maintenance agreement with your customer: "ok! we will try to keep up with HTML5 for the next year… that will be X Million dollars please". > A lack of stability and precision about which version of a specification > is meant also makes it harder to get a decent royalty-free license.

I think you are misunderstanding what a living standard is (or maybe I am?). A living standard for me is one that has defined boundaries/scope (e.g., DOM4, CORS, HTML5, XHR, Widgets). HTML5 does not define what is in DOM4. DOM4 does not define mouse events (which is in DOM3 events), etc. They all build on each other. Where new functionality is needed, a new spec is created. So, by living standard I means one that can be fixed if there is a bug in it (and in extreme cases, new features added to it over time - but in a backwards compatible way). HTML5 is an exception because all previous versions of HTML were not fully specified (i.e., there was an absolute need to make a monster spec to tame the beast that is the Web platform). But look at how concise DOM4 is vs DOM3 Core. DOM4 lives to give us an basis on which to build other specs in a living way, which does not overstep its boundaries. > On the contrary, anyone who claims they conform to > HTML5 is either stupid, since that is a meannigless claim while the > definition of HTML5 is known to be in flux, or thinks we are stupid enough > to believe it.

And they have been laughed at, for instance: http://forums.appleinsider.com/showthread.php?t=114401 > What browser vendors do is implement pieces of what they think HTML5 will > be, changing them as the spec changes in an effort to find emergent > patterns from what other browser developers, content producers with big > enough market share to insist on people doing what they want, and hope > (forlornly in many cases) that the developers who relied on what happened > before will actually change their code, so the browser can minimise the > multiple compatibility paths it has to maintain in order to work on the > Web. yes… > > By comparison, conformance to XML in its various editions is a > well-defined state.

Yes, but this only happened because it was done well from the start (unlike HTML before 5)… when XML was going through the Rec track, businesses would have been developing in parallel (as they do with HTML5). If I was going to develop a competing product based on XML 6th Edition, then I would be tracking XML changes and updating my software daily so that when 6th Ed goes Rec, I have something on the market on that day! I would not sit around wanting for XML 6th Ed. to magically become Rec before implementing it (hence, there is no well-defined state for XML… and that is evident again but the fact that there are 5 (!!!!) editions): there is only XML, which continues to live and get fixed. Ok, so clearly we have some form of agreement here: both you and I want what XML does; the only difference is I don't want "Editions".

By Anthony M. FUDA
On the eighth day of creation, God said "Let there be burgers."
And Drew Dieter, chef at Stone Church Pizza House and Brewpub, fulfilled God's wish by creating five heavenly burgers.
Yes, we went to church, but a church that was converted to a restaurant and pub. We were joined on our pilgrimage by Matt Stone, reporter at WFMJ-TV 21, in hopes of praising these burgers.
When we arrived, we weren't sure if we should make the sign of the cross as we walked in, or genuflect before we sat at the table.
Jack Laeng, co-owner, gave us a tour and a brief history. The Romanian Roman Catholic church was built in the 1960s and stood strong until the congregation moved in the 2000s. In 2014, Laeng and his business partner, Mark Hudson, bought the church and kept the spiritual theme. Stained glass windows decorate the walls, and pews provide seating as well as chairs. A bar now stands where the altar used to be, and downstairs is the kitchen where divine cooking takes place.
We were there for the burgers, but Stone Church is known for its create-your-own-pizza as well as its on-site brewed craft beers, and usually has eight to 10 on hand. Laeng wasn't going to let us out of the building without sampling its "holy water," but we will defer all beer questions to the Mahoning Valley Flight Crew.
Our waitress, Alani Aikens, gave us a brief homily on some of the restaurant's favorite foods and brews. Even though we were tempted by the pizza, we looked eagerly to the burger section:
Stoney Burger (two hand-pressed 3-ounce patties, lettuce, diced tomatoes, diced red onion, melted cheddar, beer pickles and topped with beer mustard)
Sweet Baby Bacon, two hand-pressed 3-ounce patties, stone spicy barbecue sauce, diced red onions, melted cheddar and candied bacon
Stout Gravy Burger, topped with house-made stout gravy, sautéed mushrooms, onions and Swiss cheese
Double Bacon Cheeseburger, one-pound patty, bacon, cheese, lettuce, tomato and onion
There's also a build-your-own option, and all the burgers are served with fresh cut fries or pub chips.
What's unique about the pub's food is that you can get a burger on a standard bun, classic pizza shell or gluten-free pizza shell.
I had to try one of the home brews with my burger, so I chose the El Padre Mexican lager with the Double Bacon Cheeseburger, and I was very happy with my choices.
The beer was smooth and a nice-tasting lager. This one-pound burger is very hearty. It was cooked perfectly, and tasted as if it was pulled off the grill as soon as the last ounce was finished cooking. I went with the church-blend cheeses of provolone, Gouda and cheddar, which made the burger even better. The bacon was delicious, with just enough crispiness to make any bacon-lover smile. With the combination of all of those flavors, this is a burger I will definitely re-visit. To top it off, the mountain of fries made sure I did not go home hungry.
Matt Stone: I had the Stoney Burger, and I liked the immediate fresh grill taste of the burger. The cheese and beer mustard with the onions, all melted together, provided a surprisingly different taste than your average run of mill burger, but that's a good thing.
Eric: I had the Stoney Burger as well and tried the classic pizza shell for the bun. I found it to be extremely enjoyable. For starters, having two patties instead of one is always a step in the right direction. The toppings came in just the right portions, and besides it's hard to say no to beer mustard and beer pickles. I chose to have my meal on a pizza wedge, which was a new experience. After my first bite, I realized the days of the conventional hamburger bun may be coming to an end. While the Stone Church might be more recognized for its pizza and many different beers on tap (of which I can attest, the latter is also amazing), I can say a few Hail Marys for the divine burgers that are served.
JT: I love the atmosphere! The enormous, intricately crafted stained glass window, catching the day's final glimpse of sunlight, is an inspirational backdrop for their beer tap system handles. My eyes watered just a bit. Maybe from the sun, or maybe it was the pure, unadulterated beauty of the row of silhouettes standing before the kaleidoscope of color, poised and ready to serve any style of ice cold, church-brewed draft one could desire. Jack was kind enough to set us up with a dozen or so samples which did not go untested. They know what they're doing! I cannot wait to hear what our thirsty brothers in The Mahoning Valley Flight Crew have to say when they visit! But, we are here first and foremost for the burgers. I have to agree with everyone about the flavor; they were delicious! For a pizza place, they put up some excellent burgers!
You don't need divine intervention to try one of Stone Church's burgers, but you will thank the Lord above for showing you the path to the church's front doors. Burgers, craft beers and pizza; for some people, that combination is scripture in and of itself.
After this delicious meal, we exited the Church singing, "Alleluia, Alleluia!"
Keep reading the Valley food section each Wednesday for the best food the Valley has to offer.

Among the more colorful species of fish available to prehistoric Southeastern fishermen was the Spadefish with its bold pattern of vertical black and white stripes. It looks as though it should inhabit tropical waters, but in fact can be found both along the Gulf Coast and on the Atlantic side of the eastern United States. Like all animals it would have had its own spirit personification in the ancient Native American pantheon.All the decorative patterns seen in this print are derived from patterns stamped or carved into the surfaces of prehistoric southeastern pots. To me they suggested the flowing and shimmering patterns of light found beneath the surface of the sea.

Not even two minutes away from the beach is our wedding gazebo, a popular spot for residents. Set in my parents garden, it is an ideal spot for the more formal small wedding. Since there is no charge for the facility, it is an attractive option for many of the two hundred or so local weddings we perform each year.
With twenty-five years experience to our credit, and three marriage officers on staff, we are the company of choice for residents performing several local weddings every week.
Residents must be married by Banns, in other words there are different rules if you live on the island, and as a resident, it costs less to be married. Visitors must be married by a Special Marriage license.
If you are resident, your Banns of Marriage must be posted by your Marriage Officer for eight clear days before you can be married. As a visitor, you can be married the same day you arrive on the island.

I also received a missive from Fightin' Freddy stating that the call-a-thon and letter writing campaign has gotten to Judge Gerges and will continue thru Monday.
Info at the bottom on where to send and where to call.
Excerpts from the latest press release:
Subject: Surprisingly Great Day In Court Today! To WIN we need YOUR DIRECT ACTION: CALLS AND LETTER WRITING
"Today Judge Gerges DID NOT bang the gavel and give everything to Ratner. He read about the homeless shelter closing in the papers, he showed 85 letters to the court. These things are having an effect. The other side will write letters, too, and we need to have way more than them if we are going to save the Family Shelter, Freddy's Bar, and the neighborhood. so . . . . .
Calls: Ratner provided evidence used in an indictment by the feds that he bribed a city councilmember in Yonkers through a conspiracy. THE COUNCIL MEMBER HAS BEEN CHARGED AND IS STANDING TRIAL YET RATNER HAS NOT YET BEEN INDICTED. We need to make it clear to the Attorney General, the Westchester D.A. and the US Court that the delay in indictment is going to have an adverse affect on the NY State Supreme Court Eminent Domain Case that will tear down the Pacific Dean Family Homeless Shelter and much of the Prospect Heights Neighborhood. Call Today, and Monday. But start Today. We WILL save the shelter!
CALLS - Go here and here for info on writing a letter.
Atlantic Yards Update: Land Grab Delayed. Keep on Calling and Writing thru Monday.

For professionals within the IT solutions industry, questions often arise about determining the worth of a good SharePoint Developer. SharePoint may be an imperfect but evolving solution currently. It is however here to stay. According to this article, more than seventy-five percent Fortune 500 enterprises use it. This means good developers remain valuable assets.
Consider this viewpoint. Company A aspires to open two branches and needs to run them from a central environment. This firm uses SharePoint like numerous other firms out there. They venture out in search of a SharePoint developer and immediately wonder at the between $100 and $250 per hour rates.
Developer AA however offers to take the assignment at $20 per hour. Although this developer offers to take much longer, Company A reasons that they will make great savings in hiring him. They proceed to do so while patting themselves on the back.
One month later, things are not going on well at Company A. The assigned project is far from complete. Developer AA, after failing to respond to urgent emails and ignoring calls, has sent a brief email stating he cannot complete the assignment and has a new project. This is despite receiving a $2,500 advance payment. Their lawyer advices that this is not recoverable.
Clients are unhappy, employees complain of delayed salary remittance and business is gliding to a halt. In frustration, Company A engages a new consultant Developer B. She must work long hours to fix the damage and Company A agrees to pay her $300 per hour to get them up to speed fast.
Developer B implements SharePoint brilliantly but her final bill includes sixty hours of extra work. These were necessary to fix issues Developer AA left behind. This means Company A pays an additional $18,000 above the $2,500 paid to Developer AA. This is besides the of lost reputation and productivity Developer AA brought.
In view of the forgoing, the question is not how much a SharePoint is worth but how much is seamlessly running your business worth. According to Sarah McMullin, making a transition to SharePoint is a major undertaking. Do not seek the cheapest route but rather seek high value and top product quality.
Hiring some $20 cheap developer generates a cheap $20 assignment. A great developer brings capability, anticipates challenges, suggest appropriate solutions and remains abreast of latest technologies.
Finally, you will get exactly what you pay for works well even for SharePoint developers. According to Tod Baginska well-paid developer will use available technology to implement a SharePoint solution after studying this technology to discover the requisite architecture to implement.

So much of the talk among the general public about Neerja Bhanot [and Neerja the movie] focuses on how beautiful/good-looking/pretty Neerja Bhanot was. Most people who've watched the movie frequently say that while Sonam Kapoor has played a good role in the movie, she's nowhere as good-looking as the real Neerja Bhanot. Why this fixation with the beauty of the late airhostess? Whatever Neerja Bhanot did - assuming she really did as much as has been depicted in the movie - was courageous, but is her loss/sacrifice more tragic just because she happened to be very pretty? I don't think so. Would the public have been as much touched and moved had Neerja Bhanot been a fat, short, dark, elderly woman who didn't happen to be good-looking? I don't think so.
Reminds me of how the public and news media were both obsessed with the beauty of Sunanda Pushkar while reporting on her death/killing/murder.

Ron Smith Care Centre resident Kitty Venn turned 101 on April 5, 2018.
The ever-smiling birthday girl was presented with a beautiful bouquet of flowers, birthday greetings and special wishes from fellow residents and staff of the Rand Aid Association-run care centre.
A tennis player until shortly before she turned 80, Kitty lived independently until she was 98 when a fall and subsequent hip replacement necessitated her move to the care centre.
Born Doreen Ruby Mole in 1917 in Swakopmund, South West Africa, she was the fourth child in a family of 12 children.
She and husband Oliver had four children, 18 grandchildren and 27 great grandchildren.
Kitty still enjoys frequent walks – albeit it with a walker.
"She is an amazing lady with a smile that just lights up and encompasses all those in her presence," says Debbie Christen, Rand Aid's Manager: Recreational Programmes.

Quick Reference
US film actress, singer, and superstar, whose life ended tragically and prematurely as a result of drink and drug abuse.
Born in Grand Rapids, Minnesota, the daughter of vaudeville entertainers, Garland had appeared on stage before she was five. She and her two older sisters formed the 'Gumm Sisters Kiddie Act' but eventually she went solo, changing her name to Judy Garland. Thanks to the ambition of her mother, at thirteen she was under contract to MGM.
Her first film was Every Sunday (1936), with Deanna Durbin (1921– ). Broadway Melody of 1938 (1937), in which she sang her famous 'Dear Mr Gable', brought her to the public's attention, after which she made nine films with the 1930s Hollywood juvenile lead Mickey Rooney (1920– ). It was, however, as Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz (1939), a role originally intended for Shirley Temple, that she achieved international stardom. For this she received a special Oscar and became identified with the film's hit song 'Over the Rainbow'.
Other successful films followed, including For Me and My Gal (1942), Meet Me In St Louis (1944), The Clock (1945), Easter Parade (1948), and A Star is Born (1954), which gained her an Oscar nomination. But an unhappy private life, psychiatric illness, and drink and drug dependence finally destroyed her. By the sixties ill health began to affect her concert and cabaret appearances, although she continued to make films, including Judgment at Nuremberg (1960) and her final film, I Could Go On Singing (1963). She was married five times; her daughter Liza Minnelli (1946– ), by her second husband Vincente Minnelli (1910–86), emerged as a star in the 1970s.

The Photo-Face demo is the next generation photo-real 3D avatar. This innovative technology turns any digital photo into a life-like 3D talking character in seconds. You can touch up the face by controlling aging, facial features or adding facial expressions. Let us know what you think - leave your comments in the forum.
Dynamic audio can personalize your website and make the viewer feel like your website was created specifically for them. A great way to quickly personalize your audio is to add time sensitive greetings as demonstrated on our home page.
SitePal Javascript API allows you to easily set up dynamic time-appropriate greetings. Let's look at an example we set up.(http://www.oddcast.com/support/time_greeting_sayAudio_html.html),
In this example, we have simplified the interaction to 3 different audios - Good morning, Good afternoon and Good evening. (view the Source of the page for actual code)
To add the functionality, add the following code to the HTML of the page where you have your StiePal avatar as seen in the example page. This code defines the API function setting.
function vh_sceneLoaded(){//actions will be taken when scene loads;
d = new Date(); // retrieve the date from the local computer;
hours = d.getHours(); // read the hour from the date
Then add the following code, and customize the setting per your need
//Actual code example for customized application;
//sort your message based on the date;
if(hours < 12){ //before noon say the following;
sayAudio('goodMorning'); }
else if (hours < 17){//after noon and before 5pm say this;
sayAudio('goodAfternoon'); }
else{ //after 5pm say this;
sayAudio('goodEvening'); }
Define the logic (if or else if functions), time (e.g. <12) and audio names ("goodMorning"). Please note your audio messages should be created and stored in your SitePal account, and the exact audio file name should be used in the code to enable the call.
This code must be wrapped in HTML script tags as shown in the example. If you are unsure how to write tags, you can place this code directly in front of the </script> tag in our embed code.
