On April 14, Heesen Yachts has launched its 50m Project Nova (YN 17850) at the Dutch yard's facility in Oss. Named Home, she is an example of the company's approach to yachting: a high-performance and comfortable Fast Displacement yacht with reduced environmental impact, wrapped in a design package with exterior lines by Frank Laupman of Omega Architects and interior styling by Italian designer Cristiano Gatto, appointed by the owner.
Sold in June 2016, Home is the world's first fast displacement with hybrid propulsion. In this case, 'hybrid' means that the yacht can draw on two sources of power for propulsion: diesel mechanical and diesel electrical. Either or both sources can be used at the same time to provide more flexible power management and better efficiency along with less noise and vibration. Up to speeds of 9 knots in electrical hybrid mode, the yacht will be as silent as when at anchor.
The client, a yacht connoisseur, was introduced to the Dutch shipyard by Thom Conboy of Heesen Yachts USA. Unveiled at the Monaco Yacht Show in 2015, the last recorded price for the new build was set at €31,500,000.
Heesen has recently announced the sale of 55m Alida, currently under construction at the yard's facility.

Landlords of a historic Battersea pub have lost their battle to save it from being turned into luxury flats.
Cate Toomey and Aaron Tumata, who run The Castle in Battersea High Street, had been campaigning for more than 12 months to save their beloved drinking hole.
But on Monday Wandsworth Council's planning committee granted developers Languard permission to demolish the pub and construct a four-storey building in its place.
Although Languard have said they intend build a new pub below the proposed flats, many of the 700 residents who objected cited the loss of a community hub as the primary reason for their concern.
The application states a new pub would be "desirable", but Langards is not obligated to build one and could change it to a retail space at any point.
Committee members pledged to remove Languard's ability to change the proposed usage of the ground floor without its permission.
According to English Heritage, there has been a pub on The Castle's site since the 17th Century.
Before its demise, the pub had an impressive clientele including Andrew Lloyd-Webber, Irish band The Script and entrepreneur PY Gerbeau, who was responsible for the running the Millennium Dome.

There are so many unanswered questions surrounding the May 10 incident in which 24-year-old Yeiner Perez stripped naked and attacked commuters at the 16th and Mission BART Station. Among them: Why was this man subsequently released from police custody and back into the world?
According to BART Deputy Police Chief Ben Fairow, Perez was arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor battery; he had a psych evaluation and then he was turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement -- which is now in the process of trying to deport Perez back to his native country. ICE officials would not reveal which country he's from.
Meanwhile, BART has issued a warrant for his arrest, and the District Attorney's Office is considering filing charges against Perez now that they have the footage of the May 10 incident that's been circulated widely across the Internet.
"He is not a citizen," Fairow tells us. "He is out of custody now but being monitored with a GPS [ankle] bracelet."
We contacted ICE officials, who would not confirm anything beyond this written statement:
Following his arrest by local authorities, Jeiner Albert Perez Garizabalo was remanded to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody on May 14 and has been placed in deportation proceedings. Pending a decision in his immigration case, Mr. Perez is required report to ICE on a regular basis to ensure he is complying with the terms of his release.
That helps explain how a reader spotted a performer they believe was Perez on the Embarcadero earlier Thursday performing his acrobatics for tourists. We can't be certain it was Perez -- however, it certainly appears to be the acrobat. Perez was fired from his previous job with the East Bay-based troupe ClownsNotBombs. The group issued a statement on Thursday, informing SF Weekly of Perez's "termination."
Fairow says if were up to him, he would have kept Perez in custody, adding that he wouldn't want his wife and child subjected to someone like that. However, BART police hadn't completed the necessary reports in time for a judge to decide whether there was enough probable cause.
What Fairow is doing at this time is drawing on a recently enacted state law allowing BART to ban people who, like Perez, disrupt the commuting service with criminal or nefarious acts.
"What I rely on in these cases is getting a stayaway order so I can arrest them anytime they show up," Fairow said. "We are actively seeking a stayaway order for [Perez] so his name and picture will be in that database."

Church to Open Seven New Missions in U.S.
The Church has announced the establishment of seven new missions. The new missions, in areas from southern Oregon to southern Georgia, will begin operation July 1.
Following are the names of the missions, with a brief description of each.
Arizona Tucson, created from the Arizona Phoenix, Arizona Tempe, and New Mexico Albuquerque missions: 14 stakes, 41,792 members, and a total population of more than 1.8 million in portions of Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas.
California Riverside, from the California San Bernardino Mission: 9 stakes, 32,877 members, a total population of more than 1 million in a central inland portion of southern California.
Georgia Macon, from the Georgia Atlanta and South Carolina Columbia missions: 5 stakes, 13,359 members, a total population of 2.9 million in southern Georgia and part of South Carolina.
Oklahoma Oklahoma City, from the Oklahoma Tulsa Mission: 5 stakes, 12,070 members, nearly 2 million total population in western Oklahoma and a part of Texas.
Oregon Eugene, from the Oregon Portland Mission: 17 stakes, 39,586 members, a total population of nearly 1.2 million in approximately the southern two-thirds of Oregon and small portions of California and Nevada.
Texas Houston East, from the Texas Houston Mission: 5 stakes, 13,576 members, 2.6 million total population in Texas and a part of Louisiana.
Washington Tacoma, from the Washington Seattle Mission: 13 stakes, 38,332 members, a total population of more than 1.5 million in the southwestern half of Washington.
Missionary Milestone: More than 40,000
The number of full-time missionaries serving throughout the world has topped 40,000—a milestone that reflects the Church's continuing growth, says Elder Robert L. Backman of the Presidency of the Seventy, Executive Director of the Missionary Department.
As Church membership grows, more people are available to serve as full-time missionaries. Throughout the world each year, more of those who are called serve in their own countries.
Missionaries today are better prepared than ever before and have a spirit that stands out to the world, Elder Backman said. "I don't think we've had a finer cadre of missionaries in the history of the Church."
The number of baptisms per missionary each year has increased over the past few years—an indication of improvement in how the Church is reaching and teaching people, Elder Backman said. In 1989, the number of converts per missionary was 9.1—up from 7.8 in 1988. The growth in the number of converts in 1989 was 24 percent.
In addition to an increase in the number of missionaries serving, Elder Backman said, "We think we see a broader definition of what a missionary does." The missionary's role could include greater involvement in community service, in activation, and in convert retention after baptism, he explained, adding, "We think we're on the threshold of some great things."
Elder Oaks Speaks, Visits Officials in China
Elder Dallin H. Oaks of the Quorum of the Twelve visited with government leaders and addressed the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences during a visit to the People's Republic of China from January 19 to 23.
He also set apart David Hsiao Hsin Chen, a native of China who is now a professor at Brigham Young University—Hawaii, as the Church's traveling elder in China. Brother Chen was sustained to that calling at a meeting of the Beijing Branch on June 21.
Brother Chen will visit China periodically to oversee Church members and train leaders there. While the Church does not proselyte in China, there are several branches in the country. Most Church members are diplomatic personnel or businessmen and their families, or natives of China who joined the Church while living abroad.
Members of the Asia Area Presidency will also continue to visit periodically. Elder Douglas H. Smith of the Second Quorum of the Seventy, President of the Asia Area, accompanied Elder Oaks on his visit.
In Beijing, Elder Oaks and other Church leaders met with officials of the Bureau of Religious Affairs of the State Council, members of the Religion Commission of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and other government leaders. They also presented a set of LDS books to the National Library.
Currently, the Chinese government allows religious activities to proceed, but all churches in China must be self-governing, self-supporting, and self-propagating. They may not send in missionaries from outside the country, and outsiders may not distribute religious literature or start religious discussions.
Typhoon Hits Three Islands
Two Church members were reported injured during a typhoon that struck Western Samoa, American Samoa, and Niue in the Cook Islands early in February.
President Polisi Fitisemanu of the Samoa Apia Mission reported that all missionaries were safe, despite the 200-mile-per-hour winds that swept the island.
Three people were killed in the storm. Power was knocked out, and many roads were left impassable.
With crops destroyed and supplies short, the Area Presidency authorized shipments of commodities from Australia and the United States to help meet needs in the areas affected. One early report estimated that thousands of Church members might need assistance for several weeks.
There was no initial report of damage to the temple, but the damage to other Church property in Western Samoa alone was estimated at $3 million. There was also heavy damage to members' private property.
Floods Bring Tide of Service in Washington
Record rainfall in western Washington led to flooding January 9 and 10 that took the lives of three people—including the husband of a Church member—and forced 3,500 people out of their homes.
The resulting $1.2 million in damages prompted United States President George Bush to declare Lewis County, Washington, a major disaster area.
Orville Decker, husband of Jean Decker of the Centralia Washington Stake's Winlock Ward, drowned in the flood. The Deckers drove into five to eight feet of water on a section of the I-5 freeway. Sister Decker escaped from the car, but her husband was trapped inside.
A number of Church members in Centralia and Chehalis were among those evacuated from homes, many of which suffered water damage. The Centralia Washington Stake center escaped damage, though it was isolated by the flooding Chehalis and Skookumchuck rivers.
About a dozen members' homes in the Puyallup Washington Stake were also affected by flooding. Most members were able to return to their homes within one day as the waters rapidly receded. Cleanup efforts were completed within a few days; repairs are ongoing.
For many Church members, the disaster provided an occasion for service. Priesthood quorums and Relief Society sisters, along with home and visiting teachers, went to work immediately, checking on the status of individual Church members and their families. Some members had to drive through floodwaters or take long detours around them; communication was difficult because telephones were out for a time. Many members were taken in temporarily by those who had not been affected by the flood; others donated many hours of service to help clean up flood-damaged homes and property. Such service helped renew contacts with the Church for a number of less-active members.
Saints in Kuriva, Papua New Guinea
The Kuriva village in Papua New Guinea held a celebration on 27 December 1986, the day twenty-nine villagers were baptized in the Vemauri River. We were present, having been missionaries to the Kurivans for four months. President Robert G. and Sister Carol West of the Australia Brisbane Mission joined us for the event. They were greeted at the village by youth lining the pathways, singing and clapping to welcome the visitors. Several older villagers dressed in tribal costumes for the occasion. The future members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints had even constructed a small chapel with a coconut-leaf roof.
The people of Kuriva had waited eagerly for this day. In 1980, missionaries from the Australia Brisbane Mission began proselyting on a consistent basis in Papua New Guinea, a country consisting of six hundred islands. Most of the population lives on the eastern part of the large island of New Guinea. (The western part of the island is the Indonesian province of Irian Jaya.) Papua New Guinea has been an independent nation from Australia since 1975 and links Southeast Asia, Australia, and the South Pacific.
Unlike Papua New Guinea's city residents, who are struggling to catch up to the twentieth century, its villagers have changed little over the years. Instead, they have developed their own culture and exist in hundreds of small ethnic groups, using seven hundred languages.
The Kuriva Village is no exception. Located about sixty-five kilometers from Papua New Guinea's capital city of Port Moresby, its main language is Toroipi. The Kurivans are gardeners, raising crops up and down the mountainside to sell in Port Moresby. They fish, each family sharing their take with those who didn't catch anything during the day. When someone in the village needs a loaf of bread, other Kurivans split their loaf in half and share it.
Like most Papua New Guineans, the Kurivans are accustomed to having some form of shelter—huts on stilts with thatched roofs—but no appliances or furniture. Few of them own a car. Their possessions consist of a billum or two—woven bags made by the women to hold babies, wood, or garden produce. And they sleep on homemade mats which they set down after sweeping the floors with a handmade coconut-straw broom. Their reverence, generosity, simplicity, and dedication to hard work and living within their means prepared them well for the gospel of Jesus Christ.
While several branches of the Church existed in the Port Moresby area as well as in surrounding villages, no one in Kuriva had heard of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints until September 1986, when unusual circumstances brought them into contact with the Church.
One of the villagers, John Oii, a member of the Church then living in Port Moresby, returned to Kuriva after the death of his son Simon. He wanted to have Simon buried in the village cemetery and received permission to do so from Oroa Kakare, one of the village leaders.
The funeral took place in the Port Moresby Gabutu chapel, and Kurivan villagers attended. Seminary students and missionaries participated in the service, and afterward a transport truck took everyone to Kuriva for the burial. John Oii remained in the village, where he told the people about Joseph Smith and the angel Moroni. The villagers wanted to know more. They asked John Oii if the missionary couple who spoke at the funeral could teach them the gospel. We were that couple.
On 16 September 1986, a group of about sixty people sat waiting for us to begin the missionary discussions. With John Oii translating into the village language, they nodded approval of the principles explained in the first discussion. We left several copies of the Book of Mormon and promised to return the following Tuesday.
An even larger group awaited our arrival on the second visit. The villagers had met together every night since the last discussion to study the Book of Mormon as a group. They had even composed a song in the village language about Joseph Smith and the angel Moroni. After discussing Jesus Christ and some of the gospel principles, the Kurivans wanted to pay fast offerings and tithing. We left more copies of the Book of Mormon.
Now the villagers wanted Sunday services to take place in Kuriva. We started holding Sunday School for a group that grew each week. The following month, October 1986, President and Sister West came to Papua New Guinea for a second bimonthly tour and visited Kuriva village. At a meeting held with the villagers, President West was impressed with the spirit and love of the people and, upon his return to Brisbane, gave permission to prepare the people of Kuriva for baptism into the Church. The Kurivans began constructing their own chapel.
After the festivities of greeting President and Sister West ended on 27 December, the Kurivans convened in their chapel for baptismal services. At the meeting's conclusion, everyone was transported four kilometers to the river, and the first twenty-nine members of the Church in Kuriva were baptized and confirmed. Fourteen men were then sustained and ordained to the Aaronic Priesthood. The day concluded with a feast, and President and Sister West returned to Port Moresby.
Another momentous occasion occurred soon afterward. In March 1987, Elder James E. Faust of the Quorum of the Twelve and his wife, Ruth, along with Area President Elder John Sonnenberg and his wife, Joyce, visited Papua New Guinea. They came to Kuriva with several missionaries.
Again, a gala celebration was held, replete with singing, clapping, dancing, and rejoicing. As the group entered the chapel, Elder Faust was told that the Kurivans would like to have their chapel dedicated. He responded that, although he had dedicated Church buildings all over the world, he had never dedicated one constructed through such high participation from the local members and such little assistance from Church headquarters. At the conclusion of his talk to the Kurivans, Elder Faust said, "I will now dedicate this building to the service of the Lord."
The following Sunday, 15 March 1987, the Kuriva Branch was organized, with John Oii as president and Francis Puaka and Oroa Kakare as counselors. From that point on, the small branch of forty members functioned ably, eventually sending three of the original group of twenty-nine members to join a growing number of full-time Papua New Guinean missionaries.
Today, Kuriva has a growing, enthusiastic branch where members sing hymns accompanied by a keyboard organ, give talks in their native language and in English, and help each other throughout the lessons to read and understand the scriptures.
The Kuriva Branch now has seventy-five members. They still share among themselves and with the other villagers; in fact, several non-LDS villagers contributed to buy shoes for a young man preparing for a mission. The members form a part of a growing Church membership in Papua New Guinea, now about 2,300 strong, who hope to someday have a stake, a mission, and a temple of their own.
Church Museum Announces Art Competition
The Museum of Church History and Art is sponsoring its second international art competition and exhibition to encourage Latter-day Saint artists to depict scriptural themes in quality works of art.
"We encourage artists worldwide to submit works based on themes from the scriptures," said Elder John K. Carmack of the First Quorum of the Seventy and Executive Director of the Church's Historical Department.
"The scriptures contain inspired teachings, testimonies, and stories of great spiritual value to people everywhere," Elder Carmack said. "We hope this competition will challenge our finest artists to apply their talents to the creation of memorable works of art."
The international competition, which closes 30 November 1990, will be open to Latter-day Saint artists who create paintings, prints, drawings, photographs, textiles, ceramics, pottery, jewelry, quilts, lace, embroidery, or works in any other artistic medium. Each artist may submit one recent work.
The gift of an anonymous donor will allow the museum to recognize the entries judged as best with prizes and purchase awards. The museum will also purchase some works for its permanent collection to be used in future exhibits and Church publications.
From a donated fund of $43,000, up to $13,500 in cash prizes will be awarded, including up to five "Award of Distinction" prizes worth $1,500 each, and up to fifteen "Award of Merit" prizes worth $400 each. The balance of the donated money will be used for up to $30,000 in purchase awards.
To qualify, said museum director Glen M. Leonard, works must "reflect a theme, value, story, or image inspired by something in one of the four standard works of scripture in the LDS Church." Slides of the works of art must be at the museum by 30 November 1990 for the initial screening, after which the jury will later review a smaller group of actual works.
Entry forms containing additional information on submission requirements are available through the Museum of Church History and Art, 45 N. West Temple Street, Salt Lake City, UT 84150, (801) 240-2299.
Prize winners and purchase awards will be announced at an artists' reception and awards ceremony on 29 March 1991, Brother Leonard said. Works accepted for the exhibition will be on display through 2 September 1991.
The museum's international competition and exhibition held three years ago attracted 1,031 entries from LDS artists in twenty-three of the United States and thirteen other countries. The subjects of the works dealt with LDS history, lifestyle, and beliefs. The 180 paintings, prints, drawings, and sculptures introduced museum visitors to the work of many new artists.
The 1991 competition is narrower in theme, Brother Leonard said, but it will allow artists who work in a wider variety of art forms to participate. "We expect to get acquainted with the work of many more Latter-day Saint artists through this Churchwide competition," he said.
Alberta Temple to Reopen; London, Swiss to be Remodeled
The Alberta Temple, which has been undergoing remodeling, will reopen this summer, and the London and Swiss Temples will close for remodeling.
In a letter to priesthood leaders in the Alberta Temple District, the First Presidency said that remodeling of the temple in Cardston, Alberta, will be completed by midsummer and that a public open house and rededication will be planned during the latter part of the summer.
The London Temple and the Swiss Temple were scheduled to close on April 1 for renovation. It was estimated that they will be closed for one year.
With these two temples closed, the Europe Area Presidency is attempting to make schedules available for members who want to attend the other three temples on the Continent: in Frankfurt, Federal Republic of Germany; Freiberg, German Democratic Republic; and Stockholm, Sweden.
The Swiss Temple, located in Zollikofen, a suburb north of Bern, was completed and dedicated in 1955. The London Temple, located twenty-five miles south of London, was completed and dedicated in 1958.
The Oakland Temple, in California, is currently undergoing renovation.
A Conversation about Adopting a Child
One of the services offered by LDS Social Services is adoption. To find out more about one aspect of this service, the Ensign spoke with Harold C. Brown, director of LDS Social Services.
Q.: First, why does LDS Social Services operate an adoption service?
A.: To help three separate parties, all equally important and all with very distinct needs—a young woman who is expecting a child out of wedlock; a couple who wants a baby but cannot have one naturally; and a child in need of a stable, eternal home.
We're quite concerned when young women think that if they come to LDS Social Services we are going to expect them to release their babies for adoption. The truth is that we will help any young woman explore all of her options. If she wants to keep her baby, we will help her understand the realities of raising a child and assist her and her family in making the adjustment. If she chooses to release the baby, we will place the child for adoption with a temple-worthy couple. If her choice is to marry, we will support and help her in that endeavor.
The primary reason the LDS Social Services adoption service exists is to find an eternal home for a child. We feel there is a doctrinal foundation for our service. Doctrine and Covenants 83:6 says that "orphans shall be provided for." This indicates that the Lord expects us to help these children.
Q.: How do couples apply to become adoptive parents?
A.: They go to their bishop or branch president, who refers them to LDS Social Services. They can also contact any of the LDS Social Services offices directly to receive information about adoption and how to apply. There are currently agency offices throughout the United States, Canada, England, New Zealand, and Australia.
Q.: What criteria must couples meet?
A.: Couples need to be members of the Church in good standing, having been married in the temple and holding current temple recommends. They are eligible if they have no children or only one child and are proven to be infertile. Couples may apply after two years of marriage if their infertility has been medically substantiated, and after three years if no medical reason for infertility is found. They should be in good health, have a reasonable life expectancy, and be able to care for the child financially.
If a couple wants to adopt a special-needs child—one who is generally more than five years old or who has some kind of handicap, or for other reasons is hard to place—the process is basically the same. The differences are that they don't have to prove infertility and they can have more than two children.
The application and preparation process may be frustrating. However, many of the procedures we follow are required by the states in which we work. And once a child becomes the responsibility of LDS Social Services, we have an obligation to provide him or her with the best possible home.
Q.: What happens once a couple has met the requirements and has been recommended by their bishop?
A.: The agency begins an adoptive study with the couple so that we have enough background information to match them with a child. In turn, we prepare couples to receive a child. This process involves interviews with the caseworker and verification of infertility and good health.
Q.: How do you decide which child goes to which couple?
A.: Agency workers work with birth parents to determine their desires and feelings about potential adoptive couples and the environment in which they would like their child to be reared. Agency workers then carefully match the interests of birth parents and the needs and physical characteristics of the child with the desires and personal characteristics of adoptive parents. We conduct this process in a prayerful manner, seeking the Lord's guidance in the decision.
Q.: How long can a couple expect to wait for a child?
A.: As soon as the adoption study is complete, which takes about six months, the couple becomes eligible for a child. When all other considerations are equal, we give priority to couples who have waited the longest. Usually, babies are placed within a few days of birth with couples who have waited from one to two years.
Q.: How do you prepare couples to be parents?
A.: Much of the preparation comes through adoptive study interviews. We talk with couples about such things as their philosophy of parenting, their feelings about adoption, and their capacity to love children. We answer their questions about parenting and the adoption experience. We try to help them think through the whole process and what it means for them.
We also often arrange for parenting classes; some of these are sponsored by LDS Social Services. Also, in large agencies, there may be support groups in which couples can talk with others about the challenges of adoption.
Q.: What extra preparation do you give to couples who are adopting special-needs children?
A.: We prepare them for the specific needs of the child, whether they be physical, mental, or social. We provide background information and sometimes additional training. Support does not stop once the child is placed in the home; we continue to refer parents to classes and other resources to meet their needs. In most states and countries, the law requires a wait of at least six months before any adoption can be finalized, but with special-needs children, the adoption is finalized when the couple and children are ready, usually after a year or longer.
Q.: When can a couple have their adopted child sealed to them?
A.: After the adoption is finalized. One adoptive parent, Randy Rader, has found that "as each birth is a miracle, each adoption is also accompanied by signs of the hand of the Lord. Three times our family has gathered in the temple to experience the majestic sealing power of the priesthood, and each time we have felt the divine confirmation that our family is more complete."
Adoption is a rewarding experience. There are many children who need help. We hope LDS couples will give them the opportunity for eternal blessings.
Policies and Announcements
According to the General Handbook of Instructions [1989], p. 5–1, "'Every member of the church of Christ having children is to bring them unto the elders before the church, who are to lay their hands upon them in the name of Jesus Christ, and bless them in his name.' (D&C 20:70.) In conformity with this revelation, only those who hold the Melchizedek Priesthood should participate in the ordinance of naming and blessing children." This instruction supersedes all previous instructions, including those found on page 151 of Melchizedek Priesthood Personal Study Guide 1, Lay Hold Upon the Word of God.
The following letter, dated 1 December 1989, and signed by the First Presidency, was sent to all priesthood leaders:
Effective immediately, all full-time Church Service workers whose assignment requires them to leave their homes will be called as full-time missionaries with an additional assignment. The accompanying guidelines will assist priesthood leaders as they recommend individuals to full-time Church service away from home.
We are pleased with the response of these worthy and faithful workers who in their later years are serving on a voluntary basis in various capacities. As they serve the Lord they grow in love for his work while providing a much-appreciated service.

Every marketing campaign starts with solid research and strategy. Without a sound strategy in place, lots of projects get off track, and the end goal is often blurred or lost. By planning your strategy from the beginning, you're able to remain focused and keep your eye on the prize.
Web Design
Web Design and Development are often overlooked as important parts of marketing. If a website is built with poor code, or not maintained properly, you're letting money fly out the door. We only build websites with the latest web standards and SEO best practices.
Content Marketing
At Inbounderish, we believe in the power of content. We apologize for the cliché, but content is king. Content is the driving force behind many of the campaigns we run, and content can pay big dividends if you're willing to put in the time.
Social Media Marketing
What good is great content if you don't have an audience to share it with? Social Media has matured in the last half decade, and is more important than ever. There are billions of active social media users, and your leaving leads and sales on the table if you're not taking advantage of it.
A common misconception about marketing is that the job is done once the website is built and the campaign is over. Not true! One of the biggest job of marketers is to use data to analyze which marketing channels are performing, and where conversions could be improved.

The Rock & CM Punk Begin The Royal Rumble Hype 3 Months Early
October 13, 2012 | News, Top Story | No Comments|
Despite 3 pay-per-view events scheduled between now and the 2013 WWE Royal Rumble, current WWE Champion CM Punk and challenger for the WWE Title at the Royal Rumble, The Rock have already begun to trade barbs as if their match is set in stone.
While The Rock and Punk have traded Twitter insults in the past, yesterday The Rock posted a tweet and photo that appeared more in the vain of his feud with John Cena last year than a random tweet directed at a WWE superstar. The Rock wrote:
"@WWE Champion @CMPunk I know where to find you Phillip. And I will.. #Rumble2013" with this photo.
The WWE Champion responded simply: "I'm easy to find, Dewey."

At a Capitol news conference, the governor proposed requiring middle schoolers to earn 12 credits to enter high school.
Struggling students will be offered intensive summer programs.
High school students who want to go right into the workforce after graduation would be offered a new job skills certification program.
"In a lot of places, high school is about lowering everything down to the lowest common denominator. What we need to do is to have lofty expectations, recognize that all students are different, their dreams are different, and then create an education system around them so that more and more students participate and are successful," explains Gov. Bush.
The governor is calling it his A++ Plan. The reform measures will be taken up by the Legislature this spring.

Toilet Paper Geometry Project
Toilet Paper Geometry is a math project that requires students to find the surface area and volume of a roll of toilet paper. Students calculate the total surface area of the roll, determine how many rolls of toilet paper it would take to cover different surfaces, and then calculate the volume of the toilet paper in two different ways.
Super Spinners Probability Activity
Super Spinners Probability is a hands-on activity that requires students to analyze three themed spinners to compare the theoretical probability with their own experimental probability. Students then collect and analyze data from their trials and and those of their classmates.
Proportional Pictures Project
Proportional Pictures is a hands-on math project that helps students to discover the relationship between the perimeter and area of two similar figures. Students discover that when they increase the size of their scale drawing by a factor of three, the perimeter also increases by a factor of three, but the area increases by a factor of nine (3 x 3).
Stained Glass Window Graphing Equations Project
Stained Glass Window is a project that requires students to graph Linear Equations in order to create a colorful (yet mathematical) display window. Students graph twelve linear equations from the equation bank to create their own unique window. Stained Glass Window will help students to clearly identify the equations of horizontal and vertical lines and easily distinguish between positive and negative slope.
Quirky Quiz Probability and Statistics Lesson
Quirky Quiz is a fun statistics and probability lesson packed full of mathematical concepts. Students complete a ten item multiple choice quiz that includes no questions or problems. They score their quizzes, analyze the probability of the independent events involved (quiz items), and use bar graphs to represent their statistical results. Students also use frequency tables, percents, exponents, and fractions.

HPV testing finds precancerous lesions at a higher rate than conventional pap smearsHuman papillomavirus (HPV) testing was more sensitive than traditional Pap smears at detecting precancerous lesions of the cervix, a study in the June 7 issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute reports. A new, liquid-based form of the Pap test marginally improved sensitivity but also produced more false positives.
Previous studies have shown that searching for a precancerous cervical lesion called cervical intraepithelial neoplasia with an HPV test is more sensitive but also has more false positives than conventional pap smears, where doctors look for abnormal cells on a slide. Despite the widespread use of newer Pap technology called liquid-based cytology, where doctors first immerse the Pap sample in a solution before looking at the cells, its accuracy is not clearly defined. Some scientists suggest there is a need to understand what combination of tests increases sensitivity while keeping the number of false positives acceptable.
Guglielmo Ronco, M.D., Ph.D., of CPO Piemonte in Torino, Italy, and colleagues set up a randomized controlled trial that screened over 33,000 women for cervical cancer, half with conventional pap smears and the other half with HPV tests and liquid-based cytology. Women with abnormal cells from either Pap test or a positive HPV result were further examined by a technique called colposcopy, where doctors use a magnifying instrument to get a detailed view of the cervix.
The authors found that HPV testing combined with liquid-based cytology led to a 47% increase in sensitivity compared to conventional pap smears, but increased the chance of false positives by 60%. HPV testing alone increased sensitivity by more than 40%, with a smaller decrease in specificity (25% or 42%, depending on the type of test used). Liquid-based cytology did not show greater sensitivity than conventional pap smears, but increased the number of false positives.
The authors write, "HPV testing alone was more sensitive than conventional [pap smears] among women 35-60 years old. Adding liquid-based cytology improved sensitivity only marginally but increased false positives."

I was pretty lucky because of the kind of people I grew up around loved my insane curls. It made me pretty confident. Someone once told me I looked like merideth from brave. Lol.
In junior high I never straightened my hair and one of the girls asked if they could straighten it at lunch. I grudgingly agreed and afterwards everyone was telling me how gorgeous it was and telling me I should straighten it in the mornings. I'm pretty sure I just gave them a dirty look and said I'd rather sleep for an hour than spend it on my hair. No one seemed to get that it was insulting.
Another time in jh a boy in two grades above me (which made him intimidating to me) told me on the bus that he thought I had a bird in my hair. I didn't reply and was glad a had that much hair to hide my red face!

John Byrne's TV choices for the week ahead (Wed Apr 17 - Tue Apr 23)
Kylie's back acting on the box, there's a new comedy on the Beeb, and the impressive Broadchurch comes to an end – so there are plenty of TV options worth investigating over the next seven days.
Pick of the week
The Good Wife (Thursday, More4)
A couple of weeks ago I was horrified when I saw an episode of The Good Wife that wasn't brilliant. Normal service quickly resumed however and this week's tale promises to be yet another cracker from a superb show that has possibly the greatest ensemble cast in TV history. Seriously: Julianna Margulies, Josh Charles,Christine Baranski, Archie Panjabi, Alan Cumming, Matt Czuchry - all brilliant; and that's before adding the many great guest stars, and the recently MIA Mary Beth Peil, who's been wonderful as meddlesome mother-in-lawJackie Florrick. What a show! This week, Alicia is presented with a career-changing opportunity that carries a huge financial risk when Will and Diane offer to make her an equity partner in the firm in exchange for a large capital contribution. Elsewhere, Jordan and Eli plot a possible attack on Maddie Hayward's campaign, but their plan backfires, while David (the delightfully acidic Zach Grenier - yet another class act) represents the fiancée of an internet billionaire during a complex pre-nup negotiation.
Star of the week
Kylie Minogue
Playhouse Presents . . . (Thursday, Sky Arts 1)
She's been a pop star for so long now it's easy to forget – that's if you knew - Kylie Minogue was once an Australian actress who sang at a charity show and unintentionally launched a new career for herself. An awful lot of water's gone under the bridge since her heyday on Neighbours, but the pocket-sized Australian's back in the acting game, with this brand new series. It's her first TV role since appearing in the Doctor Who Christmas Special in 2007.
She's in great company here as Anna Friel, Ian Hart, David Harewood and Vanessa Redgrave are among the various contributors as the all-star Playhouse Presents . . . strand returns for a second series of comedies and dramas, written and directed by the likes of Idris Elba, Matt Smith, Marc Warren and Johnny Vegas.
The series begins with Warren's dark comedy/drama Hey Diddly Dee, featuring Kylie, Mathew Horne, Peter Serafinowicz and David Harewood. Set during last-minute rehearsals for a West End biopic of Andy Warhol, it explores ego, superstition and rivalry in the theatre through the eyes of Johnny (Horne), a despairing stage runner and understudy with big dreams. Johnny suffers the arrogance and rudeness of star of the show Roger Kite (Serafinowicz). He insists Johnny heats up his coffee, organises his fan mail and, most importantly, keeps the theatre's lucky black cat Diddly away from him. Eager to impress, Johnny is at first obedient but when Roger humiliates him in front of the rest of the cast, Johnny's resentment grows. He suffers a crisis of conscience as voices urge him to ensure Roger misses opening night. And then tragedy strikes . . .
Starting this week
The Ice Cream Girls (Friday, UTV)
This is a three-part adaptation of Dorothy Koomson's novel of the same name. Two women who were accused of murdering their schoolteacher in the summer of 1995 are forced to confront their dark, shared history when one of them is released from prison almost two decades later, having always protested her innocence. Returning to her home town, Poppy decides to track down old friend Serena and get her to admit the truth about what really happened that fateful night.
Also starting this week:
Oliver Stone's Untold History of the United States (Friday, Sky Atlantic) Film director Oliver Stone's creates a sweeping documentary series - expect controversial views from the start.
It's Love, Actually (Thursday, Sky Living) A whimsical documentary series about modern couples as men and women in relationships of all shapes and sizes talk about living together.
Ending this week
Broadchurch (Monday, UTV)
After weeks of speculation, this impressive new drama comes to an end with the Broadchurch community struggling to come to terms with the truth about the events surrounding Danny Latimer's death. And the revelations are such that they threaten to prevent the dead boy from being allowed to rest in peace. It's been fun while it lasted, thanks in a large part to a super cast that includes David Tennant, Olivia Colman, Andrew Buchan, Jodie Whittaker, Arthur Darvill and Pauline Quirke.
Also ending this week:
The Syndicate (Tuesday, BBC One) Despite winning the lottery, Mandy's life is worse than ever. With Steve bound and gagged in the cellar, Helen ups her demands to stay quiet.
Drama of the week
Boss (Thursday, More4)
Although this award-winning show has already ended in the US after two seasons due to poor viewing figures, it's well worth investing in for the remainder of its run on More4. Basically a political version of Damages (although not quite as good), Kelsey Grammar impresses as Tom Kane, the Chicago Mayor who's terminally ill. This week Kane and his camp battle with the media to dominate the situation when long-buried information about the disposal of toxic waste near the airport comes to the surface via a mysterious blogger. Meanwhile, with the primary elections rapidly approaching, the team do everything they can to maintain the upper hand.
Comedy of the week
The Wright Way (Tuesday, BBC One)
The Beeb has a pretty appalling record in recent years in terms of sitcoms. Fingers crossed they've done something right here – but I seriously doubt it. Created by Ben Elton (so that's a yellow card before a ball's kicked), The Wright Way follows Baselricky Council Officer Gerald Wright. A recent divorcee and new single Dad, Wright's personal life is just one long struggle against the petty irritations and inconvenience that dominate his life. The Wright Way stars David Haig (The Thin Blue Line), Beattie Edmondson (Absolutely Fabulous), Joanne Matthews (Call The Midwife), Kacey Ainsworth (EastEnders), Rufus Jones (Mongrels), Luke Gell (Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps), Australian actor Michael Falzon, Mina Anwar and Toby Longworth.
Documentary of the week
Room Wanted (Monday, RTÉ One)
With nearly 100,000 people on the social housing waiting list in Ireland, family accommodation is at breaking point. This new documentary follows several families in their bid to find a permanent home using Ireland's social welfare system.
The families searching for a council home include Trudie Core, her husband Oscar and their two young children have been on the housing list since their return from recession-wracked Spain last year. They are looking for a home on rental supplement but are currently living cramped with Trudie's parents.
Also: Lisa O'Sullivan has been on the housing list for eight years. Nearly blind and living in rural Cork, she needs to find a home closer to the city and medical services. Finally there's a young couple, Diane Joyce and Daragh Hogan, on the Carlow housing list.
Margaret O'Toole is one of the last remaining tenants in a 60-year-old Dublin flat complex, St Teresa's Gardens. Earmarked for regeneration during the boom, the complex now sits largely boarded-up and abandoned.

Investment and Wealth Managers
The financial advisory and wealth management industry is facing a paradigm shift. The general public remains suspicious of Wall Street and the financial industry, as the Great Recession still resonates. For managers, the traditional service model is changing, with advisors and other investment professionals being increasingly scrutinized and disintermediated as consumers have more "do it yourself " opportunities than ever.
To fully capitalize on the unprecedented wealth transfer that stems from the greying of the baby boomer demographic, wealth and investment managers must adapt and evolve now to differentiate themselves and boost credibility in a crowded marketplace.

Arlington, VA, United States, 2012/10/16 - DRS Technologies, Inc. has been awarded a $22.9 million contract by the U.S. Army to provide next generation 17-micron Light Weapon Thermal Sights (LWTS) - Finmeccanica.com. FNC IM; SIFI.MI
DRS Technologies, Inc., a Finmeccanica Company, announced that its Imaging and Targeting Solutions Group (ITS) has been awarded a $22.9 million contract by the U.S. Army to provide next generation 17-micron Light Weapon Thermal Sights (LWTS) through the Department of the Army Program Executive Office Soldier (PEO Soldier), Project Manager Soldier Sensors and Lasers (PM SSL), and Product Manager Soldier Maneuver Sensors (PM SMS). Under the new contract, ITS will deliver its 17-micron Light Weapon Thermal Sights, which detect infrared (heat) waves and allow soldiers to view their targets day or night through rain, smoke, haze, light fog and total darkness. Employing DRS uncooled Vanadium Oxide detector technology, the LWTS uses an advanced 17-micron pitch focal plane array to produce a large image with a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels in a small package.
Used on weapons such as the M4 and M16, DRS LWTS is designed for use with the Advanced Combat Optical Gunsight (ACOG) and the Close Combat Optic (CCO) sight. Troops can easily clip the LWTS onto a weapon in front of the standard day optic or use it in stand-alone mode.
With its four AA lithium batteries, the 17-micron LWTS weighs just 1.75 pounds and measures 6.7 x 3.6 x 3.9 inches. Soldiers can use the sight for up to 10 hours before changing out the power source. In addition, the new sight offers a 14.7? horizontal field of view and incorporates a 2X digital zoom. The 17-micron LWTS operates on the RS-170 standard with real-time video in/out connectivity that allows for remote viewing. It enables the soldier to recognize targets at distances that exceed Army requirements of under clear-air conditions.
DRS Imaging and Targeting Solutions is committed to serve the needs of the US Army Program Executive Office Soldier and the US Army Contracting Command Aberdeen Proving Ground, says ITS President Todd Stirtzinger.
For the 21st century warfighter, the arena of operations demands exceptional capabilities for early detection of targets and lightweight configurations to increase mobility. The next generation 17-micron Light Weapon Thermal Sight is designed to meet these requirements with industry-leading technology. With this most recent contract award, the U.S. Army again has recognized the value of DRS ITS thermal imaging capabilities and advanced 17 micron technology.
DRS Imaging and Targeting Solutions will deliver the Sights to the Army over a 22-month period, beginning in January, 2013. Deliveries will include the 17-micron LWTS and associated supplies, services, spares and special tooling.
DRS Technologies, Inc. (drs.com), headquartered in Arlington, Va., is a leading supplier of integrated products, services and support to military forces, intelligence agencies and prime contractors worldwide. The company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Finmeccanica S.p.A. (FNC.MI) which employs approximately 70,000 people worldwide.

text: Posted March 25, 2014 · Report post New member of this site. Definitely not a new member of the acne club. I started having acne in junior year of high school. At the time they were like a few pimples and it was very manageable as I could just shrug it off. As I got through the rest of high school, things went down a slope. To keep it short, more breakouts, more pimples, more sadness. I've tried so many methods. Medicines like sulfur pads, epiduo, metrogel, etc. I've tried commercial products like proactiv, neutrogena, etc. All worked to some degree, but my acne would easily get used to it and continue to break out. I've tried changing my diet, cutting back most sugar and dairy (stopped drinking 2 cups of milk a day. I loved milk.). Nothing has worked very well for me. Today, I have a number of active pimples just scattered around my face. To make it worse, once the pimples die they leave their marks behind. The marks take forever to leave, and my skin is very fair so they are quite noticeable. To sum it all up, my face looks like a mess of pimples and marks. It has severely hurt my self esteem, my happiness, my social ability. I cannot step out of my room without thinking of my skin literally every second. It hurts physically too, as in I will always accidentally brush against a few pimples and it'll hurt. Wearing things like goggles hurt because they go over my pimples. Basically, I want it all gone. So I went to the dermatologist recently. I was prescribed cephalexin pills, Aczone, and 0.025% tretinoin. I have been taking the cephalexin pills for about 2 weeks, twice a day. Today, I got my Aczone and tretinoin, and today is when I start my journey with them. I've heard many good things about these products, and I pray that it will help me. Aczone every morning, tretinoin every other night at first, then every night. It is now 12:32AM, time to go to bed, and time to apply that tretinoin. I'm having good feelings about this regimen. Let's hope I make it out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TEL AVIV (Jul. 22)
A leading Israeli physicist says the Arab countries have gotten ahead of Israel in efforts to launch a communications satellite into space.
Haaretz Wednesday quoted Tel Aviv University Prof. Yuval Neeman as saying "this issue is still not getting the 'push'" it deserves. He referred to the announcement that two Syrian cosmonauts will participate in an upcoming Soviet space mission. He said he hoped this "will stimulate the appropriate elements here to promote Israel's participation in space exploration."
Neeman, who heads the Tehiya Party, said Arab efforts to launch a communications satellite failed "due to a blunder on the part of its European manufacturers." But "they continue their efforts. We still do not have a communications satellite of our own. but we should already have one." Neeman said in an interview with Haaretz.
He noted that "according to an international convention, an area is reserved for us in space, over our region, for launching a communications satellite, but we are liable to lose it if we do not launch a satellite within four years."
Prof. David Abir, deputy head of the Israeli Space Agency, dismissed Syrian participation in the Soviet space mission as primarily propaganda, Maariv reported Wednesday. Abir said it is doubtful that the Soviets would place all their equipment and the data from aerial photographs at the disposal of the Syrians.
Meanwhile, tests are being conducted at the Haifa Technion to improve the resistance of satellites, space craft and missiles to the intense hear generated by the return to earth's atmosphere from outer space. Haaretz reported Wednesday. The tests make use of a new hot air tunnel which produces temperatures of 10,000 degrees Celsius by means of a five-megawatt electric generator.
Haaretz said they are being carried out in cooperation with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in the U.S. and other agencies.

12 TV Shows That Ended Unsatisfyingly, Just Like HIMYM Will Tonight
You guys know what tonight is, right? It's the finale of How I Met Your Mother, which is finally ready to stop blue-balling us and give us the dirt on the whole Mother situation. Supposedly
But old habits die hard, and I myself am having trouble imagining a world in which the final episode isn't a total let-down. They've just gotten so used to teasing us with a little information and then yanking away that it might be tough for them to reveal everything, at long last.
After all, this wouldn't be the first time that a long-running show ended unsatisfyingly. THere are plenty of shows with great runs, huge buzz…and massively disappointed fan bases the day after the finale aired.
And I want to talk about them, but I also want you to read about them, so I promise there will be no spoilers in the depths ahead. Just in case you're still working your way through a Netflix behemoth like I am with The West Wing. (I'm told it ends disappointingly, but if you ruin one single thing for me about C.J. Cregg's trajectory, I will put my whole hand in your mouth. In a bad way.)
Ahem. Shall we?
1. Lost
All I had to do was say the sentence, "Guys, can you think of any TV shows that ended unsatisfyingly?" out loud in the office, and suddenly there were multiple loud angry voices going, "LOST LOST LOST LOST". That's how universally trashed this finale was.
2. Seinfeld
It's hard to end a show that prides itself on being about nothing, so I guess it shouldn't be surprising that they didn't completely nail it.
3. The Office
Ugh. I was as big a fan of this show as the rest of you for so long, but as soon as Jim and Pam got together, it was kind of ruined for me, and the finale was too sappy to make up for it.
4. 24
Yeah, why don't we just end the show WITH ZERO PERCENT CLOSURE and never even address this weird thing we've been referencing for like five seasons! What the hell.
5. Grey's Anatomy
I'm aware that this show is still on the air. That's what makes it unsatisfying.
6. Friday Night Lights
Even if you thought the finale was good, it's pretty universal that people liked seasons one through three more than four and five. By the time the finale rolled around, the show had already lost the most likable members of the cast, so it was hard to be too enthusiastic.
7. Scandal
I'm looking into my crystal ball and telling you right now that nobody's gonna be satisfied with the finale. NOBODY NOT ONE PERSON.
8. Dexter
I bailed on this one after only a few seasons, and from what I've heard, I should have a career as a stockbroker, because I got out just in time. Waaaaaayyyy before the finale, which was pretty widely acknowledged as a hot ass mess.
9. Buffy The Vampire Slayer
More important characters were sidelined in favor of giving screen time to weird, unnecessary parts of the plot, and all the extras you can shake a stick at.
10. The Sopranos
Another controversial one. I know some people who LOVED this ending and some people who HATED it. So I guess they succeeded, right? Because there aren't a ton of people walking around who're completely ambivalent.
11. Enlightened
This one is understandable, but that doesn't make it any less disappointing. Enlightened was canceled suddenly (and cruelly) after not enough seasons, so the finale cropped up kind of unexpectedly and they had to scramble to wrap things up. I still miss it.
12. Alias
Not only did this show end with an anticlimactic reveal, it also nearly ruined our idea of Sidney Bristow to see her behaving like a normal after all those years as a spy. Pretty big sell-out.

Leonardo DiCaprio is set to resurrect the hit sci-fi TV series The Twilight Zone for the big screen.
The Aviator star and his production company Appian Way are quietly putting the word out that they're looking for pitches and script ideas for a feature-length movie, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The Twilight Zone was apparently DiCaprio's favourite TV show, but it is not yet known if he will star in the new adaptation.
The Twilight Zone ran in the US between 1959 and 1964 - each episode set ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances, with a sci-fi twist. Shows always began with an introduction by creator Rod Serling, whose deep voice became The Twilight Zone's trademark. The TV series was revived in the 80s and again in 2002-2003 but the original show is repeatedly broadcast on the Sci-Fi Channel, creating a new fan base for the franchise.
The Twilight Zone has already had one outing on the silver screen. A portmanteau feature saw the light of day in 1983 with Steven Spielberg, George Miller (Mad Max), John Landis (The Blues Brothers) and Joe Dante (Gremlins) each directing a segment. It did not do as well as expected at the US box office and was more known for the on-set accident that killed actor Vic Morrow and two child performers.
The news of a possible Twilight Zone movie comes as sci-fi films appear to be enjoying a revival, with The X-Files, based on the hit 90s TV series, hitting US cinemas this weekend.

|I took the Northeast Ridge. It was such a great time for me. I was a bit nervous beforehand, I have to admit. Here I am after paying a lot of money to get out here, and a lot of people knowing I'm attempting this, so I had to make them proud. It was a tough hike, it's no "walk-up." It's just so darn steep. There was maybe 8 of us out there that day. After awhile I attached myself to this couple that was also out there. It was just so awesome for me when we got to the top. It was incredible! Somebody screwed the summit register thing on too tight! Nobody could open it! Urg! Colorado is an amazing place!

|Camped at treeline at the base of this route. Beautiful area, only saw a couple guys on 4-wheelers on the road on the hike in. Otherwise, complete solitude til the summit. Weathered out a thunderstorm at night in my bivy sack but skies cleared up nicely. The ridge isn't too difficult, just lots of crappy rotten rock. Test every rock before you put your weight into it be ready to hop to the next one when it moves. A dozen or so people on the summit at 9 in the morning. Definately more exciting than the yawner standard routes and a chance to get away from the mobs trodding up the east side of the mountain.
