In his role as a Freelance Police Station Representative Peter attends on clients in the Police Station on an almost daily basis across the North West and North Wales. Notable cases R v T (2014) – Peter was involved both at the Police Station and throughout the Crown Court case for a client accused of a 'hit and run' murder. R v B (2009) Peter was again involved both at the Police Station and throughout the Crown Court in a murder case was a male accused of a 'one punch' murder where the deceased died as a result of serious head injuries. The Prosecution eventually reduced the charge to manslaughter and the client was found not guilty after Trial.

This case involved a large London Based-Turkish drug cartel and a Liverpool gang. It involved significant amounts of telephone evidence including covert surveillance and recordings. R v F (2012) This was a high profile case involving a gang accused of being 'guns for hire'. The case came to the attention of the national press when two of the gang were sprung from the Prison van on the way to Court. Peter's client eventually had the case against him dropped after the jury failed to return verdicts after two trials. R v J (2011) Peter's client was extradited from Cyprus after being linked to the sale of firearms including Uzi's and a Sten gun. The client later received eight years in prison whilst others in the gang received 18 and 19 years

Andrew Deegan, Attorney at Law
I practice criminal defense law in Fort Worth, Texas. I work primarily in Tarrant County, but also Parker and Dallas Counties. My practice focuses on criminal defense and DWI defense. I defend people who are charged with misdemeanors as well as felonies. people who are charged and accused of all crimes, including assault, drugs charges, white collar crimes, and theft, just to mention a few. An arrest can turn someone upside down. Anyone who is facing legal action from the government deserves a lawyer who takes defending people and fighting for my clients as seriously as I do. Getting arrested and charged with a crime can strike deep fear into a person. It can deeply disrupt lives and families. I know what the stakes are when you get arrested and told to hire a lawyer and go to court. The government is coming after you. Many of my clients are embarrassed and regretful about what often amounts to a mistake or a misunderstanding.

I'm grateful for today's playdate. For one, Nathan got to socialize with another baby and I got to have a nice cup of tea and chat with a lovely lady. 🙂

Engage Chinese students at every step of their application journey
Build a Chinese website and landing pages that inspire
Creating a Chinese web presence that inspires and engages with informative, easily accessible content is a vital component of effective Chinese student recruitment marketing. Our platform comes with a selection of beautiful and functional templates, purpose-built for education marketers and the Chinese digital ecosystem.
Reach students through relevant search results
Chinese search activity around education programs and international study destinations, follows a distinct pattern that is dictated by the term structure of the destination country. With Sinorbis you can be sure that your learning institution will be highly visible at those critical times through keyword analysis, SEO and SME activity powered by artificial intelligence.
Promote your school on WeChat
The lives of Chinese students are inseparably intertwined with digital media channels such as WeChat and Weibo. It's no surprise that these channels also play an increasingly important part in their international study decision-making process. Sinorbis will help you increase awareness for your learning institution and everything it has to offer to the right audience, via the right channel
Spend your marketing budget where it will have the biggest impact
Marketing budgets for international student recruitment are tight and often spread thinly across multiple regions. Our insights and technology will give you a clear view on the channels that are having the biggest impact on Chinese student recruitment, so that you can maximise your ROI.
Leverage our insight to optimise your digital presence
Digital education marketing is always evolving and needs to respond to opportunities and changing user behaviour as soon as it happens. We use the latest and most advanced technology so that your learning institution can stay ahead of the curve in an increasingly competitive Chinese student recruitment digital landscape.
Want to boost Chinese student recruitment at your university?
Learn how Sinorbis helped the University of Tasmania transform their website and increase Chinese student recruitment by 44%.
While China remains the top source of international students globally, there are several signs this growth may soon start to slow down.

This Week's Hotspots
America has elected a new President – Jean-Claude Juncker, the president of the European Commission, has expressed his concerns on the future of the EU-US relationship after the election of Donald Trump. Juncker and Donald Tusk, the President of the European Council, called for an EU-US summit to discuss the issues arising to the EU in a Trump-environment.
Next to the crisis-like meeting on Trump, this week the EU has been busy discussing its security strategy. Federica Mogherini, the High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, proposed a new Implementation Plan on Security and Defence to build on the EU's new Global Strategy (dating from June this year).
Mogherini further addressed security with top EU military commanders, emphasising the importance to enhance the internal as well as the external security of the bloc.
She also discussed the importance of a future EU military HQ at the NATO Forum 2016. She reemphasised the importance of the EU-NATO Joint Declaration (July 2016), wherein both organisations commit to better cooperate in areas where they complement each other, affirming that they are indeed different, boasting of dissimilar tools and capacities.
The 13th of November marked the one-year anniversary of the Paris terrorist attacks. In commemoration of the victims, the Bataclan Theatre, where 89 people lost their lives, was reopened.
In Turkey, Erdogan implicitly threatened to let 3 million migrants pass into Europe if the EU continues to fail to grant Turkish citizens visa-free access.
Meanwhile, Germany announced a "Marshall Plan for Africa" with the aim to stem the migrant influx from the continent to the EU. The plan includes a boost in economic investments to foster economic growth and job creation, meant to act as incentive for potential migrants to stay in their countries.
At the same time, the European Commissioner for Humanitarian Aid and Crisis Management, Christos Stylianides, announced a 78-million-euro aid package for the easing of the refugee crisis and the improvement of the humanitarian situation in South Sudan.
Yet another eastern European election took place this week: this time it was the Bulgarians' turn to elect a new President. The competition between the pro-Russian candidate and the pro-European candidate was strong in yet another face-off over pro-Russian and Western world views. Again, the results came out in favour of the Pro-Russian candidate.
Selected Pieces
First Brexit, now Trump
"Brexit" and "Trump" represent the results of just two historical elections that have taken place in 2016. The British call for an exit out of the EU, as well as the choice of the Republican candidate Donald Trump as President, represent a fundamental problem that is apparent in today's developed societies: that of an ever-more disenfranchised lower class harmed by the effects of globalisation. In a Foreign Affairs article, Douglas Murray, predicts that in reaction to this new trend in politics, societies will increasingly witness a fusion between the established political left and right, as politicians are struggling to approach their constituencies. Murray notes that for instance, Social Liberals have not listened to their opponents, and have failed to connect with the lower class and respond to their concerns.
Drawing a parallel between US and EU populism
After the success of populism and far right rhetoric in the US, many are expecting populist parties in Europe to seize their opportunity in this current environment. However, the European and North American continents are significantly different. While optimism over the economy under Trump's policies was based on decreased government regulation for corporations, this prospect does not lie ahead for Europe's populists and their supporters. EU regulations put in place after the crises restrict member states in the implementation of significant financial change. However, the Eurozone does have existential challenges to face. Current concerns include Greece's debt relief proposal, Italy's financial budget standoff with Brussels, and the rise of Eurosceptics on the continent. These issues will strongly test EU cohesiveness and integration in the time ahead.

Unfortunately, every time I think of nature I instantly think tress, grass and bodies of water. So when I try to learn about God through nature I keep saying "ok God, teach me about you through trees", tonight I realized that I haven't limited what God can teach me, but I have limited what God can teach me from.
It's kind of like when we listen to a pastor or a professor at college, we expect to learn when they speak. But then we have the potential to start to limit truth to those occupations. I am being reminded by God that I need to start looking for truth/lessons everywhere, I need to start trying to learn from everything, every little experience. Every time I take a breath a million different things happen inside of my body, that is nature, that is God who made it that way.
I always feel the need to be sure to say that I don't believe that nature is God, just like you can learn about God from a church, it doesn't make the church become God. God can and will teach you things from anything, but be sure to not confuse the lesson as God.
I am staying at a good friend's house in Atlanta until I move into a place of my own. This house has one of those refrigerators with the water dispenser built-in to it, and this family put two filters on it, so it literally takes 10 minutes to fill a glass with water, because I could care less about filtered or unfiltered water I just drink form the sink which is three feet away. I think the amount of time it takes to fill up a glass from the fridge discourages this family to drink water all together.
I think sometimes we want a lesson that was specific or intentionally a lesson, so much that we aren't willing to pray that God will teach us in the unexpected. Sometimes we want all truth or nothing which doesn't allow us to find the truth in a rated R movie or a secular album. I have had God teach me some very honest things through some very unusual circumstances, and I had question it, process it and certainly not take it at face value. Don't limit your source of water to certain friends that are fancy with their words.
I certainly don't want to come off like I believe all paths lead to God, because I certainly do not. My house is on one street, Calthrop, there are many paths/streets that lead to Calthrop, but eventually there is NO WAY you can get to my house without getting on Calthrop. People have met Jesus in many different ways, but there is no way to God without Jesus.
There was a guy that left his Christian faith and was totally rebelling against everything he believed and one day a crack-head said "you need Jesus" and this man replied "what the F do you know? You are a crack-head" and the crack-head said, "just because I smoke crack it doesn't make that statement any less true". That changed that man's life, he eventually came back to Jesus because of the many nights that truth kept him up.
I am saying that there is a lesson in everything, we shouldn't only think there are lessons in intentional lessons like sermons, blogs and teachings. But find the lessons in breathing, coughing, looking at the blue sky, looking at worms, squirrels and even talking to friends that just seem to tell jokes.
Just like the filtered water, if the only source of your learning is from intentional lessons, than you will only learn more when you are at church, school or etc. But if you realize there are a million other ways to learn, but the other ways you need to filter yourself, then you will continue to be amazed by the God that invented toe-nails.
your friend,

Advertiser Guide: working with a third-party partner
Introduction to online advertising and AdWords
AdWords is Google's advertising product, which displays your ads to people looking for products or services similar to those that you offer on Google or its partner sites. Advertising with AdWords allows you to reach new customers at the precise moment they're searching for your type of products and services. You can choose to be charged for clicks, impressions, or conversions, depending on the type of campaign you run.
Once your ads are running, we provide performance data so your third-party partner can track what's working and what's not. AdWords is highly accountable, helping you understand precisely the return on your advertising investment and allowing your third-party partner to make adjustments to optimize for the best possible return.
In addition to Google search, you can also run ads on Google's network of partner sites (places where you may have seen the "Ads by Google" message) – including YouTube. On this network, you can take advantage of other ad formats, such as image ads and video ads.
Google and third-party partners
We believe that AdWords can help your business succeed. However, you might not have the time or resources to devote to building – and regularly maintaining – a successful AdWords account. Or maybe you'd just like some help from an expert.
That's where our third-party partners come in. There are many different types of third parties out there, from the largest advertising agency and yellow page publisher to the one-person web consultant. To help you select a third-party partner, we've developed our Partner Programs. Third parties participating in these programs will display a badge on their website and have taken and passed certification exams. Two badges that you'll probably see most often are AdWords Certified Partner and Premier SMB Partners. See the badges and learn about our Partner Programs at www.google.com/adwords/partnerprograms.
To confirm that a company is certified within our Partner Programs, click the badge on their website. If they're certified, you'll be taken to the company's profile page on Google.com.
How to work with a third-party partner
An AdWords third-party partner can save you and your business a lot of time and energy. For best results, we encourage you to stay informed, involved, and up-to-speed on your ad campaigns, and let your partner handle the time-consuming work.
Third-party partners will often charge a fee in addition to the cost of your advertising. Remember, they're providing a valuable service by managing your AdWords campaigns, providing you with reporting, answering your questions, and optimizing your campaigns, among many other things. We believe it's important for you to understand the total cost of your AdWords advertising, including any fees your third-party partner charges. Use this amount to determine your return on investment (ROI).
Here are five quick tips for being a savvy customer:
1. Be selective When selecting a third-party partner to work with, look for companies that display a Certified Partner or a Premier SMB Partners badge. You can use Google Partner Search to verify that a company is certified, or to search for certified partners. As part of your selection process, be sure that you understand and are comfortable with the length of the contract you're entering into with the partner. There are a few other criteria to help you choose the right third-party partner for you:
- Has this third-party partner worked with businesses in your area before?
- What about businesses with similar budgets or target audiences?
- What other services can they provide – alongside AdWords – to grow your business?
2. Pick one partner You may be tempted to divide your budget among multiple third parties to see which one drives the best results. You're welcome to do this as long as you test them one at a time. Google doesn't display more than one ad for a business on a page of search results, so you'll find it difficult to test multiple third parties at once.
3. Educate yourself Understanding AdWords at an advanced level can take time, but it doesn't take much time to learn the basics. Review the "AdWords basics" section below or visit the AdWords Help Center at adwords.google.com/support/aw to learn more. Understanding AdWords will help you make more informed decisions with your third-party partner.
4. Trust experience If you're working with a company that's managed hundreds of AdWords accounts, then it's likely that they've developed expertise with AdWords. If they tell you that certain industries have historically higher online-advertising costs or certain keywords might not work for your business, they're probably speaking from experience.
5. Evaluate your performance Unless you're focused on branding, what matters most about AdWords is the return on your advertising investment (i.e. the number of new customers coming in the door). So take some time each month to measure what you're investing, and the results you're receiving from that investment.
What to watch out for
We believe that it's important for you to have a great experience with AdWords. If this isn't the case, please let us know. Be sure to first work with your third-party partner to try to resolve any issues before contacting us.
Many third parties have earned our trust by representing the best interests of their advertisers. There are some third parties that are not acting in this way. Here are some activities to watch out for and let us know about:
- Not sharing the cost and performance of AdWords campaigns: You have a right to know, at a minimum, the number of clicks, impressions, and cost of your AdWords advertising.
- Guaranteeing ad placement, either on a specific advertising channel or in a specific position: It's not possible to guarantee a specific ad position on Google.com search results pages. AdWords ad position is determined by an auction and changes dynamically with every new search. Some third parties may only charge you if they achieve your desired ad placement, but those that guarantee a specific position (i.e. the top position every time a user searches for your keyword) are misrepresenting how AdWords works.
- Claiming to be from Google: Ask this person for their name and to email you from their Google.com email address; if you're still unsure, forward the email to the address above.
- Harassing or bullying you into signing up: Only you can remove your business from the natural or organic search results on Google.com.
- Deceptive pricing: The agency may not use the correct advertising budget as agreed with you -- make sure that you get an official copy of your agreement in writing.
- Claiming AdWords will affect your organic or natural ranking: AdWords advertising has no impact on your organic or natural ranking in the search results; the two are completely separate.
AdWords basics
- Keywords: The words or phrases you select – when users search for those words on Google, your ad may appear next to or above the search results.
- Clicks: The number of times users clicked your ad. Impressions: The number of times your ad appeared.
- Clickthrough Rate (CTR): The number of clicks divided by the number of impressions, shown as a percentage. A good CTR can improve your average position.
- Average Position: The average position that an ad appears in when it's triggered. An average position of 1-8 generally means that the ad is appearing on the first page of search results.
- Cost: The total amount you spend with AdWords.
- Conversion: The action that your advertising results in, such as a phone call, lead, or sale. This is usually a good metric to use to measure the success of your advertising.
Disclaimer: While we may not respond personally to your email, we will investigate your comments and, if necessary, take the appropriate action. If you have a question about your AdWords account and need help, please visit the Help Center at http://adwords.google.com/support/aw/.

text: Engraftment and maintenance of hematopoietic control and progenitor cells (HSPC) depend on their capability to respond to extracellular indicators from the bone fragments marrow microenvironment, but the critical intracellular pathways integrating these signals stay understood badly. 30 meters from a nestin+ cell. Unusual perivascular localization related with reduced preservation of HSPC in the bone fragments marrow (44C60% decrease at 48 l posttransplant, likened with wild-type) and a extremely significant problem in brief- and long lasting engraftment in competitive and non-competitive repopulation assays (<1.5% chimerism of cells vs. 53C63% for wild-type cells). The engraftment problem of HSPC was not really related to adjustments in growth, success, or integrin-mediated adhesion. Nevertheless, HSPC demonstrated damaged replies to SDF1, including decreased in vitro migration in time-lapse microscopy assays, reduced circadian and pharmacologically activated mobilization in vivo, and dysregulated Rac/Cdc42 service. These data suggest that Vav1 activity is definitely required specifically for SDF1-dependent perivascular homing of HSPC and suggest a essential part for this localization in retention and subsequent engraftment. Hematopoietic come cells (HSC) are defined by their ability to self-renew and the potential to generate all adult hematopoietic lineages, both during homeostasis and after transplantation. Maintenance of these functions vitally depends on the connection of HSC with one or several specialized microenvironments (so-called niches) in the bone tissue marrow (BM) (1). Different cell populations have been proposed to form niches for HSC, including osteoblasts (2, 3), endothelial cells (4), stromal-derived element-1 alpha dog (SDF1)-articulating reticular cells (5), and nestin+ mesenchymal come cells (MSC) (6). These parts appear to become spatially related in the BM (5C7), but it is definitely not obvious whether they constitute a quantity of functionally unique HSC niches or contribute to a complex multicellular hematopoietic microenvironment, and, specifically, there is definitely conflicting evidence on the comparable tasks of osteoblastic versus vascular parts of the market in regulating hematopoietic come and progenitor cell (HSPC) functions. Extracellular cues proposed to play a decisive part in hematopoietic come/progenitor cell connection with and retention in the market include come cell element (SCF), concentration gradients of the chemoattractant CXCL12/SDF1, and 1 integrin-mediated adhesion to extracellular matrix and VCAM1+ endothelium (8C12). The important intracellular pathways induced by these signals are less well characterized, and how they are matched to regulate HSPC localization comparable to different parts of the market is definitely not known. Although earlier work offers offered insight into the part of Rho GTPases Rac1, Rac2 (13, 14), and Cdc42 (15) in HSPC trafficking and engraftment (examined in ref. 16), cells deficient in these GTPases Malol display multiple proliferative, survival, and cytoskeletal problems, which precluded a more exact dissection of the important pathways regulating HSPC trafficking and localization. Therefore, Rac-deficient HSPC display reduced chemotaxis to SDF1 and 1 integrin-mediated adhesion in vitro but also problems in SCF-mediated expansion and survival (14), consistent with the integration of multiple receptors and signaling pathways. In vivo, Rac1 is definitely required for HSPC engraftment and endosteal localization in the BM, whereas deletion of both Rac1 and Rac2 not only impairs engraftment but causes massive HSPC mobilization (13, 14). Dissecting this complex legislation entails defining the practical relationships between GTPases and particular guanine nucleotide exchange elements (GEFs) that activate them (17), and this continues to be a main problem. Right here we concentrate on the Malol Vav subfamily of GEFs, which comprises of three related necessary protein: Vav1 (hematopoietic-specific) and Vav2 and Vav3 (even Malol more extensively portrayed) (18). Vav necessary protein possess non-redundant features in lymphopoiesis related to their function in immunoreceptor signaling. Hence, rodents present faulty Testosterone levels and C-1 cell advancement (19C21), whereas mutation of all three Vav genetics totally impairs both the C- and T-lymphoid lineages (22). In neutrophils, Vav necessary protein are needed for suffered 2 integrin-mediated adhesion, intravascular endothelial moving, and superoxide ALR creation (23C25). Despite the Malol well-characterized function of Vav protein in resistant procedures, practically nothing at all is normally known about the function of these GEFs in ancient hematopoietic cells. We hypothesized that the hematopoietic-specific GEF Vav1 may regulate HSPC engraftment and preservation by mediating replies to a subset of microenvironmental indicators. As a result, we researched the impact of hereditary removal of Vav1 on HSPC homing, localization, and preservation in the BM microenvironment, and the role of Vav1 in mediating HSPC replies to adhesion and chemokine ligands. Our outcomes recommend that Vav1 activity is normally needed particularly for SDF1-reliant perivascular homing of HSPC and recommend a vital function for this.

January 17, 2013
The predictions have ranged from 2 inches to 12 but everyone seems fairly certain we're going to get snow. I'm so excited . . . AND I'll be even more excited if it takes the power out – or at least the internet out – with it.
It used to mean – when I was in school or when I worked outside my house – that snow gave me a day off. Now, well, it's just another day but with snow.
Don't get me wrong – I love snow, and I'm so eager to see the farm all piled with it, pristine and shimmering, especially after all this rain and its subsequent mud. But I'd also like a guilt-free reason to just lay on the couch and nap and read all afternoon.
We'll see what comes I guess.
P may come down in his Jeep later tonight, and I'd love that – even as I respect that he may need to help his parents out up north of her. I would love to ride around in this stuff, headlights gleaming. A little tiny risk in the midst of my fairly safe world.
When we were kids, Dad would load J and I into the big red station wagon, and we'd go around the lower loop by the moonshiner's cabin and let the car slide, just a little around that hairpin turn. Of course, one time – when J and I weren't with him – Dad slid a bit too much, right through the cable strung between two posts and into the rhododendrons on the steep slope below.
There's just nothing quite like the thrill of riding – for pure sport – through the snow.
Adrenaline without real cost – or at least it was that way when I was a kid and didn't know that a door ding on a car could cost hundreds of dollars, or even that hundreds of dollars were possible.
I adore the snow. How it blankets everything in cleanness. How it sparkles even in the gray. Every snow, I'm reminded of the end of Joyce's "The Dead."
It lay thickly drifted on the crooked crosses and headstones, on the spears of the little gate, on the barren thorns. His soul swooned slowly as he heard the snow falling faintly through the universe and faintly falling, like the descent of their last end, upon all the living and the dead.
Such softness in the language there. The s s s of "soul swooned slowly" like the delicate rasp of flakes against metal or the slick of a coat. I love the adverbs here – thickly, faintly twice. How barren is exactly what this image is not. It's not a happy image, this, of course, but it's right somehow – and it captures just how I feel in the snow. Odd though, that snow reminds me of literature. It feels, somehow, that it should be the other way round.
Just now, my ears are craving the hush that snow brings, as if cushions the sound waves and tucks them softer as they move along. The air feels more open, too, like I can breath more deeply.
I love snow.
As kids, we always wanted to sled down the "chute," but we had to wait until a big snow made it almost impossible for cars to ride that road because of the blind curve in it. Mom and Dad were rightly terrified that we would sled ourselves right into an oncoming car.
On those days, though, where we could go, man, that was awesome. Dad and I on that orange disc together and screaming around that turn, our bodies leaned hard left to make it and then piling off way down in the lower part of the neighborhood, where we almost never went because of some sort of strange problem with one of the neighbors and their sense that we shouldn't be able to drive through their roads to get to our houses. I"m just remembering this now and remembering that as a kid I was nervous to sled into their yards for fear they'd get angry. Odd
I also remember the time the neighborhood kids got in a snowball fight, and Greg Messer threw a snowball at me after he tucked a rock inside and how it hit me square in the back of the head and how I cried.
Still, those days were blissful because all that we had expected we would do – the bus ride, the hours in plastic chairs, the cafeteria trays with their different size squares – all of that got put aside without us having to choose anything. Snow day. Total freedom. Open hours unplanned and unscheduled. The best part of the day.
So now, as I sit on the farm with Meander on a blanket at my feet, I long for not just the hush and cover of snow but also the weight of it . . . to take out my satellite internet and let me run, Meander to her belly, through the snow before coming back in to a book I haven't chosen yet and a blanket not yet out.
Snow day. Snow day. Snow day. I whisper into the keyboard here.

The Roma is a wonderfully versatile tomato. With its firm flesh, low juice content, and fewer seeds, it is the favored tomato when making sauces or salsas. Cut into slices or wedges, it is a fast and easy way to add tomato to your favorite salad.Tomatoes are high in lycopene which some scientific studies suggest may help reduce the risk of certain diseases including cancer and heart disease. They are also high in vitamin C and A.We ripen our tomatoes on the vine to increase their flavor.
Roma tomatoes are usually one of the best bargains in the store. So add more Roma tomatoes to your diet and you can eat better for less money!
Select tomatoes that are firm with no bruises or major blemishes. They should have a full and deep color. The skin should be taut and not shriveled.
Tomatoes will continue to ripen after you bring them home. Store your tomatoes in a dry, well ventilated area of your kitchen. Never refrigerate your tomatoes, as this will destroy their flavor and texture! Always wash your tomatoes before using them!

Kyle Kingsbury is a rich kid who has grown up believing that good looks are more important than anything.
After a prom prank gone wrong, a witch casts a spell on him, turning him into a beast. He has two years to find someone to love him who he can love in return.
Set in modern day New York, Beastly is a retelling of the classic tale, about the feeling of alienation and the importance of inner beauty.
I got 'Beastly' out from my public library. The corner of the novel had teeth marks in it. This was not a design of the book, it had actually been chewed. Apparently my cat Severus is not the only one who enjoys eating books.
I was sceptical at first, but I read it quickly - quick for me at least, as my literary super powers do not involve speedy reading - and thoroughly enjoyed it.
The novel is narrated in first person by Kyle. In the beginning he isn't a particularly likable character, but there is enough insight into his upbringing and relationship with his father, that he was sympathetic enough for me not to lose interest in the book.
I liked being able to see straight into the mind of the "beast." The story is well known and has been the inspiration for many novels in the past, such as 'The Phantom of the Opera' and 'The Hunchback of Notre-Dame.' I loved how the novel embodied the feeling of being secluded and cast out from the world. Kyle looked at other people with despair of ever belonging, which is something many young people can identify with.
The story differs from the original in the sense that it coincides with the modern setting of New York. It took a while for the "beauty" of the novel to properly enter the story, but I was so absorbed in Kyle's world that it didn't bother me. Secluded from the world, Kyle's story might have been utterly uninteresting. Yet being wrapped up in books, with the internet as your main window to the to the world, is quite commonplace. The only thing I found more than a tad confusing was when Will said Wilde died in prison. Major tutor fail there.
There is something fascinating about Kyle's isolated state. Beastly may be a modern fairy tale but it isn't laden with sparkles and fairy dust. Drugs and swearing and sex are addressed, though there isn't anything explicit. Beastly is a book about love, inner beauty and acceptance. So if you're in any way worried that the book comes with a bow-chica-wow-wow backtrack, don't be.
I re-experienced Beastly for a second time - two years later - on audio. It was narrated by Chris Patton, who I knew from his voice work in anime. His narration was diverse, whilst still remaining true to the first person narrative, and not being over-dramatic. I thought Patton's reading of The Princess Bride lines were particularly spot on.
Beastly is a novel that you can really wrap yourself up in. I would suggest it to people who really like the premise of 'Beauty and the Beast.' I don't think you will be disappointed.

One Percent of Mobile Users Consume Half of World's Bandwidth
Smart phones, tablets, and a growing public appetite for online content, are increasing the need for broadband speed, and for more bandwidth. The proliferation of hand-held computers has impacted the digital ecosystem in two significant ways—it has created a more diverse user population and it has raised the level of mobile data utilization to a point where this segment now consumes 90 percent of wireless bandwidth. Yet, with only 1% of mobile users consuming half of the world's bandwidth, it is clear that there is still much work to be done to continue bridging the digital divide. Below is an excerpt from a New York Times article that...Read More Share

can you give an analytical expression of this apodization function? What would result using a Gaussian apodization?
Is it available in MestreNova? Where can I find it?
Great name ... stanning as derivation from hanning including Stanislav Sýkora's name!
How can I use it in MestreNOVA 10.2? Or is it implemented in 10.3???
Carlos, the Stanning function certainly looks promising! We will all therefore be looking for more information (soon please!!). At the least, please explain how to best select the coefficient. It's really not clear what the changes do, esp at small numbers, and how it relates to truncation errors. Love to hear more.
P.S. The Stanning function can be found under "Advanced" in the apodization W menu.

What's inside Adobe eLearning Suite
Working Together with PowerPoint

Adobe is a name well known to anyone who works with graphics and media content -- and they bundle several of their award winning programs in suites that contain a set of applications geared towards a specific use. Adobe already has such suites for the Creative and Production categories -- and their newest Suite offering is squarely aimed for the burgeoning eLearning market. The main products in the Adobe eLearning Suite are Captivate, Acrobat, and Presenter. These work directly with Microsoft PowerPoint whereas other products in the Adobe eLearning Suite such as Photoshop, Flash, Dreamweaver, Soundbooth, etc aid in making the Suite sweeter and more integrated.
In this review, we'll take a closer look at the Adobe eLearning Suite.
About Adobe eLearning Suite

Send Adobe Captivate audio files to Soundbooth for cleanup or enhancement and embed Adobe Captivate movies in Adobe PDF files.
- SCORM Packager: The SCORM Packager creates LMS-compliant content from Flash Professional. You can create and publish a course combining files from Flash and Adobe Captivate.
- Easy Reuse of Content (Online and Offline): Use the free Adobe AIR runtime to deliver your online courses as desktop applications, enabling easy offline learning for experiences that don't require integration with an LMS.
My contact at Adobe for this review was Anand Peter -- thank you, Anand.
What's inside Adobe eLearning Suite
Adobe eLearning Suite comprises programs that create a powerful eLearning creation workflow:
- Adobe Captivate 4: Author eLearning content with interactivity, software and scenario simulations, quizzes, without any programming or multimedia skills. Add templates and collaboration workflows. And deliver content virtually anywhere by publishing to Learning Management Systems and Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro software.
- Adobe Presenter 7: A PowerPoint addin which allows you to create high-impact Adobe Flash presentations and eLearning courses from PowerPoint. In addition, you can also create high fidelity PDFs.

- Adobe Dreamweaver CS4 with CourseBuilder Extension: Design, develop, and maintain websites and applications.
- Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro: Protect documents and accelerate information exchange with PDF.
Working Together with PowerPoint
As is expected from a suite of programs that are so well integrated, the workflows are amazing -- and the added benefit of seamless PowerPoint integration takes this concept even more ahead.
- Adobe Captivate projects can be dynamically linked to PowerPoint files and their included narrations -- make changes in PowerPoint files and the Captivate projects linked to those PowerPoint files are dynamically updated.
- You can create high quality PDFs from PowerPoint using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro.
- Create PDFs that contain PowerPoint animation, or Flash movies easily with Adobe Presenter 7.

Our RC-Series Benders are the Original Low Tunnel Hoop Bender design invented by me and "Now copied and sold by several companies."
RC-Series Low Tunnel Hoop Benders
By the way I answer my phone 7 days a week, always have, 903-497-1158. Don't think they do that?
In the video below our own Carol Coleman demonstrates how to bend 1/2" emt tubing into 4 ft. wide Low Tunnel Hoops and assemble them into newest version of our Modular/Movable Low Tunnel in 10 ft long sections. Sections can then be placed end to end making your Low Tunnels as long as needed.
Carol is using our Model #MH-4 Low Tunnel in this video, Our RC-Series also produce
4' & 6' wide Low Tunnel Hoops just like our MH-4 & MH-6, but the RC-Series
has the added ability to bend 1 3/8" fence tubing also.
Important Note:
Finished Hoop widths can vary on any metal tubing used, Regardless of Gage or Diameter! This varying is caused by the hardness of alloy
(which is an unknown factor on all tubing)
used in manufacturing the tubing.
Our hoop benders are fixed radius (not adjustable) they are preset to produce the specified hoop width using metal tubing having an average hardness alloy. We are not responsible for varying alloy's which can produce hoops smaller or larger than the average alloy's used today.
You are encouraged to read and review all instructions before making your choice of hoop bender to purchase.

Niagara Falls Police To Buy New Patrol Cars With Gambling Revenue
NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. (AP) — A western New York police department can start shopping for patrol vehicles for the first time in five years now that casino gambling payments have been received from the Seneca Nation of Indians.
The Niagara Gazette (http://bit.ly/19WxSVv ) reports that the Niagara Falls City Council has approved a measure seeking the allocation of $513,000 in casino revenues to buy 19 new police cars. The move will allow the cash-strapped city to essentially replace its entire fleet of overworked police cruisers.
Many departments in Niagara Falls held off on buying new equipment during the four-year period when the Senecas withheld casino revenue payments to host cities over a long-running dispute with the state.
Last summer, an agreement reached between Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Seneca officials released $89 million to the city of Niagara Falls.

Since I'm in the public relations business, it makes good business sense to brush up on my Spanish. After all, Latinos are a fast-growing population here and many of my prospective clients serve this community.
But first, a confession, "brush up" is inaccurate as that implies my language skills simply need refreshing. Alas, I've got un largo viaje ahead.
Thanks to technology, I can turn to a number of iTunes podcasts, iPhone apps and Websites to guide me as I learn. The advantages of tech-study appeal because I can do it in the comfort of my home and at low or minimum cost. Care to join me as I immerse?
iTunes Podcasts
More than two dozen podcasts, priced at free to $19.95, are offered. My favorite is Coffee Break Spanish distributed by Radio Lingua Network. Instructor Mark and his student Kara, are native Scots, so their conversations have an interesting twist. According to their site, Coffee Break Spanish "brings language-learning with your latte. Aimed at total beginners, it will help you get to grips with the Spanish language."
Another podcast, SpanishDict.com "guides you step-by-step to speaking and understanding Spanish. Each lesson uses images and charts to visually introduce new vocabulary and concepts."
iPhone Apps
Spanish! is a $0.99 app that offers "A learning tool similar to flashcards, but with audio and an intelligent progress tracking system that helps you learn faster. After you 'flip' to the answer, you pick if you were Right or Wrong."
iSpeak Spanish is priced at $1.99 and bills itself as "the best selling translation solution on the App Store."
Spanish Anywhere is pricier at $9.99, but I've enjoyed this app since I purchased it several years ago. Its description touts, "Learn and communicate in Spanish anytime. It's perfect for travelers, students, business people, and anyone who wants to speak, read, study, pronounce, or translate Spanish."
Many Spanish language websites claim they are free, but often there is a subscription service attached. That's why I like About.com's Spanish for beginners despite an abundance of ads on its site. Here's their commercial, "This series of lessons is designed to help beginning Spanish students or any one else learning the language with the fundamentals needed for further learning and study. It requires no supplementary material other than perhaps a dictionary for reinforcing vocabulary."
At Studyspanish.com, the Chicago link points you to several brick-and-mortar schools, including two I've attended. And although I'm currently focusing on home-based study on my tech toys, I recommend both places.
Dígame is located at 2504 N. California in Chicago's Logan Square neighborhood. According to its web site, "Dígame Language Instruction is a private, student-focused language learning center offering Spanish, French and German classes for adults. Our recipe for success combines a friendly, safe atmosphere with serious learning goals." Call 773-235-1499 or write to: email@example.com.
Instituto Cervantes de Chicago is downtown at 31 W. Ohio St. between State and Dearborn Streets. It's a worldwide non-profit organization created by the Spanish government in 1991 and the largest organization in the world concerned with the teaching of Spanish. Call 312-335-1996 or write to email@example.com for information.
Now that I've got you interested in the language, you might also want to combine vocabulary with footwork. Check out Flamenco Chicago at 2914 W. Belmont. It's owned by my friend, Rosetta Magdalen and "offers a fun, but serious, learning environment with the Chicago area's greatest number of flamenco dance classes under one roof."
Rosetta adds "You will meet a friendly, welcoming, and very interesting group of students here, ranging in age from teens through 60s, with most students in their 20s and 30s. Class sizes are limited to ensure supportive, personal attention to each student." To begin, contact email@example.com
Usted es muy agradable por estos consejos.
I think.

Our Potential Impact
The metrics that investors typically use to evaluate (and help improve) environmental impact often don't make much sense to us. It is not that they are wrong. It is that they are relevant for established large companies, trying to reduce their existing environmental footprints. We invest in exciting young growth companies whose products are services that have the potential to make a huge difference. We evaluate potential, and then help make it happen.
When we last evaluated our portfolio companies, on aggregate we estimated (if adopted globally) they have the potential to reduce:
- Over 466 million tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2e) – the annual footprint of 55 million Europeans
- Over 4 million tonnes of acid rain (SO2e) – the annual footprint of 158 million Europeans
- Over 700, 000 tonnes of hazardous waste – the annual output of 5 million Europeans
So, our methodology is to evaluate potential. Actually, it's our close connection to sustainability that both sets us apart and drives financial returns – because we can see opportunities that others may miss or just undervalue. The sheer scale of potential for sustainability through innovation is in fact huge. There is no compromising of financial returns, this is about commercial opportunity to deliver what is needed. We have supported companies converting softwood to hardwood, making metal in a revolutionary low-energy manner, providing cyber-security to enable smart grids, and many others. It is not exactly what you would call 'clean-tech'' or 'renewables' – it is what we call 'sustainability through innovation'.
We are extremely excited about the prospects of our companies. Of course no methodology is perfect, and we are always seeking to refine and improve it. If you wish to learn more, please get in touch.

Do you know of a wired, backlit bike computer? I don't need the interference from the next guy's bike computer, and I don't need a lot of features. For following a trip sheet at night, sometimes all night! (I'll carry spare batteries…)
There are surprisingly few backlit cyclecomputers. The SIGMA BC1606L is backlit and so is the very inexpensive Schwinn 20-Function Bike Computer. In general, I've been very impressed with the design, engineering and build quality of Sigma products. As for the Schwinn, I'll just say that the Schwinn name products of today have pretty much nothing in common with the classic hand-built Paramounts and bullet-proof electro-forged Varsities of yesteryear.
I've written previously about wireless computers and interference and while there are probably some good, digital signal wireless computers now that feature both a backlight and and resistance to interference, I'll leave it to my helpful blog commenters to note them.
For my night riding brevets and such things where I need a computer, I use a non-backlit Cateye Enduro that I see thanks to my helmet light. The helmet light is also handy for reading cue sheets and roadside signs. It's also super handy for doing things like changing flat tires.
That's my take on bike computers. These days, I pretty much run without a computer but I know many folks now use their phones or GPS units to track their progress and make their way in the world. Again, I hope people will weigh in with their comments about their favorite bike computing solution.
As always feel free to send me any Bike Talk questions via email at firstname.lastname@example.com or via Twitter at @kentsbike.
Keep 'em rolling,
