are people dying of hunger everyday?
sort by best latest
Something to complain about?
Is that what you think it is?
My God, just dream on why don't you?
How many people are there in this world?
Now how many whales are there?
How much rainforest is being destroyed daily and how many species risk losing their habitat?
If destroying the world, which would ultimately lead to us all dying of starvation because the Earth can't support itself anymore isn't a high enough priority for you idiots then you're dumber than you look.
We only have one Earth and we're doing f*** all to look after it. We're treating it like a bottomless pit to line the rich man's pocket - that's why people are starving to death.
I think there are too many people who are so self centered that they can't see the what's keeping them alive and healthy in the first place.The deserts we have today are increasing as a result of trees being cut down in numbers so large that they cannot regrow fast enough to replace what's cut down.People like that don't realize that the oxygen they breathe comes from those trees as well as the plankton growing in the ocean.The south American rainforests are especially at risk as a result of the trees being clear cut to use the land to grow grass to feed cattle to be exported to North America's fast food places like McDonalds.That now exist worldwide.
Do you see another planet ready for us to inhabit? I think not, for now at least we have one planet. In order to stay alive we need to respect it. Starvation is a serious global concern, but saving starving people should be a concern of saving our planet. They are not seperate goals at all they are one goal. Our society is in a state of throw away and get something better. We want bigger houses nicer cars than the next guy. Why? To throw it away a few years later? If we concentrate on getting over our own greed we can save the planet and everyone would have three hot meals.
No, more people need to die -- those that have dropped litters exceeding their replacement rate, and done that without any thought of how they might feed their spawn. Starvation is the result of too many people for available resources to feed. If that is the result of their stupid cultures and religions, good riddance.
It is not about the evil corporations. They have evil tasks of higher priorities to accomplish other than starving people.

It's New Year's Eve at the Jefferson Club, a luxurious private ski resort in the mountains of southwestern Montana. Seven of the world's wealthiest men and a U.S. senator are among the guests gathered in the ballroom of the club's spectacular main lodge for a private party. Expensive champagne flows, and multibillion-dollar deals are getting done, when, at the stroke of midnight, a ruthless and well-armed militia attacks the club. Self-described antiglobalists, they intend to put the wealthy patrons of the club on trial for crimes against humanity, live on the Internet for all the world to see. As the first trial unfolds, it becomes a new-media sensation, with tens of millions of viewers who are allowed to vote as jury members. It seems harmless and funny, until one of the tycoons is convicted and put to death just as stock and bond trading opens for the new year. The markets are rocked by the execution and start to plummet as more of the billionaires are put on trial. The only people who can prevent an outright market crash, stop the madness, and uncover the true reasons behind the brutal attack are Mickey Hennessy, the club's director of security, his three 14-year-old children, and Cheyenne O'Neil, an FBI financial crimes specialist.More
Former U.S. Special Agent Mickey Hennessy faces the challenge of his career when the private resort for which he is security director is attacked by anti-globalists. Among the hostages are his teenage triplets. The terrorists begin killing off the leaders of capitalism in staged trials on the Internet, and hunting down the kids, who have made a break for it and are working against them. Lloyd James employs a low-key style that provides a steady bass line for this suspense novel. Against that, he builds the rising suspense. Between the calm manner of Hennessy and the deadly coldness of the terrorist leader, James fits in a cast of characters who are filled with fear and shock at what is happening to them.
"Crisply written, breathlessly paced, suspenseful." (Booklist)

Recently I visited Colleen Flanigan an artist working to save the Mesoamerican reef and some marine biologists at the UNAM University in Puerto Morelos Mexico. While there I saw a skeleton of what was called a "sea cockroach" or "sea roach" which appeared similar to a slipper lobster and was about 8 inches in length. I was there training scientists on how to capture objects like corals as 3D models for study using only a camera. I photographed the sea roach exterior shell with my regular DSLR Canon camera and used Autodesk Memento to auto-magically generate the 3D textured models of the sea roach. The shell was a perfect example of something that would be time consuming to model in 3D from scratch but where photogrammetry would shine and shine it did.
Screenshots in Autodesk Memento
The textured model with the mesh displayed.
The surface model view
The cool x-ray visual style of the model.
Close up images.
Nature is an amazing designer..
So give the currently free Autodesk Memento a try to capture models in 3D for fun, inspiration, digital prop, 3D printing, making things, or for memories.
Here is a very handy change to AutoCAD 2016 made after customers requested the functionality to change properties of Layers in an AutoCAD XREF.
When the AutoCAD System Variable XREFOVERRIDE is set to 1, you can change the Color, Linetype, Linewidth, Transparency and Plot Style of objects in the XREF drawing or nested blocks by changing its original layer property in layer palette, in spite of the legacy ByBlock rule.
Thanks to AutoCAD team member Tao Zheng for the heads up tip on this new addition to AutoCAD 2016.
A good question was posted in the comments and so I am adding the response from AutoCAD UX Team member Karen Mason.
How is XREFOVERRIDE different than the function of VISRETAIN?
"XREFOVERRIDE works in conjunction with VISRETAIN. XREFOVERRIDE is only necessary if you want to change the xref layer's properties, AND the xref drawing has some objects where their properties are not set to BYLAYER. If previous releases, if the xref has objects with specific colors/linetypes/etc. (vs. BYLAYER), changing the xref's layer properties had NO effect on those objects. Now, you can set XREFOVERRIDE to 1 and AutoCAD behaves as if those xref's objects had their properties set to BYLAYER.

Autodesk 2016 Design & Creation Suites Now Announced
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ:ADSK) today announced the release of the new Autodesk 2016 Design Suites that offer more control than ever over all aspects of the design-to-make process through a connected desktop and cloud user experience.
Autodesk design and creation suites provide customers with expanded toolsets, unique interoperability and a consistent user experience.
"Our customers are pushing the boundaries on how products are designed and made, how buildings are built, and how entertainment is created," said Amar Hanspal, senior vice president at Autodesk. "Autodesk Suites address the entire workflow: from capturing reality and iterating on a design, to physically making that design through 3D printing or other forms of fabrication."
Each design suite includes AutoCAD 2016, ReCap and 3ds Max. AutoCAD 2016, the most advanced AutoCAD yet, delivers faster, more precise detailed design and documentation with rich visual accuracy. Autodesk's ReCap technology, also included in every suite, continues to bring Reality Computing to a new level of accessibility and affordability across the Suites with the additions of more native laser scan formats, smart measurement tools, advanced annotation and sync capabilities and more. Autodesk 3ds Max provides customers with the 3D tools they need to create inspirational experiences no matter what their industry demands.

The Autodesk user community looks forward to spring and the annual release of new versions of Autodesk software, and this year is no exception. AUGIWorld authors have been hard at work slicing and dicing the new releases to bring you the highlights of 2016 versions of AutoCAD, Revit, Civil 3D, AutoCAD Architecture, and Inventor.
In 30 some odd years Autodesk has had literally hundreds of products, and currently just over 100 active products. In those years we have seen many a creative name for a product. So for some fun, which product name/s were not actually a released Autodesk product?
Made In Space recently installed and setup up the AMF Zero-G 3D printer with NASA MSFC on the International Space Station (ISS), and you can get the rare opportunity to print on the same printer and see the one that is currently on Earth.
Autodesk has had a long partnership with Made In Space including Autodesk's Director, Strategic Initiatives and a serious space science expert Jonathan Knowles who also serves as an advisor to Made In Space.
Made In Space and the Zero-G 3D Printer will be special guests at the Autodesk University 2014 Blogger & Social Media Meetup event the evening of Wednesday December 3rd, 2014. You too can attend the event by winning this competition or completing the Autodesk University 2014 Scavenger Hunt detailed in your AU badge materials or soon at http://autode.sk/auscavenger.
More Info about Zero-G Printer:
The Zero-G 3D Printer which has been installed Microgravity Science Glovebox (MSG) on the ISS, the printer will returning to Earth for detailed ground analyses. This first set of prints will serve to verify the printer and extrusion process in the microgravity environment.
"Testing of the 3D printer in microgravity is part of the "3D Printing in Zero-G Technology Demonstration" project, a joint venture made possible by a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Award between Made In Space, Inc. and NASA's MSFC.
This experiment is intended to validate the use of Additive Manufacturing, commonly referred to as 3D Printing, in space. This will be the first manufacturing device designed for off-planet use and is an essential technology required for future exploration endeavors."
The Zero-G 3D Printer was also designed using Autodesk tools.
What we are looking for in this 3D print design:
Design each part under 4" x 2" X 2" inches in ABS material without the need for support material. Think about something practical with a purpose for the astronauts who live and work for long durations on the International Space Station and what they might need and not have access to, but could be 3D printed. Some of the challenges astronauts have are losing things or small tools. Think about material optimization in the design and be very creative and perhaps NASA might like your idea enough to print it up in space!
Deadline and Judging:
Please provide a Zip file with a text document about your design such as the purpose and inspiration as well as the source .ipt or .f3d file to me using Autodesk 360, Dropbox, or email me and I will provide you a Dropbox folder to upload your Zip file entry by Monday December 1st at 5PM Pacific.
Jonathan Knowles and myself of Autodesk and the Made In Space team will make the final decision on the winner on Tuesday December 2nd.
Bonus Points:
Made In Space will have the Earth based Zero-G 3D printer at the Blogger and Social Meetup event and printing the winner of the a 3D design competition's. The winner will also get a front row seat for the closing keynote, and a seat on the next launch to the International Space Station – just kidding on the space ride.
We look forward to your submissions!

Guest post on AutoCAD by Michael Thomas of Design & Motion.
Layers are a very important component of working with AutoCAD. They control the properties and visibility of your objects. Since layers organize your drawings, using layers inefficiently is a time waster and negatively effects your productivity. Even with the layer automation found in many of the vertical "flavours" of AutoCAD, it is critical to understand layers and use all the tools within AutoCAD to your full advantage. With this deep dive look at AutoCAD layers, Design & Motion explores all avenues of not just using layers, but using them effectively.
The one constant thing about layers is they are constantly in a state of change and it's very common to perform the same set of state changes on a group of layers. Part 1 of this 8 part series looks at an underutilized feature of layers; Layer Filters. Layer Filters do exactly as named; they provide a quick method to filter your layers, reducing the list of layers into a usable "chunk" and provide tools to work with the filter as a group. When you find yourself repeating this process of performing layer state changes to a group of layers, you need to look at using Layer States, which is covered in Part 2 of our series.
Nothing spurs more heated conversations than not following CAD Standards. Everyone knows they need them, nobody likes to use them, and everybody wants their own. Did you know that AutoCAD has CAD Standards tools to both steer people into using the right standards, and to double check that everything is correct. There are various methods to add layers to drawings, and creating new ones from scratch each time is not productive. Creating from scratch opens up the opportunity for mistakes in naming the layer incorrectly, picking the wrong colour, or setting properties incorrectly. Parts 3 through 5 explore creating standard layers, without creating them from scratch and explores the CAD Standards and Layer Translator tools.
What about the many features in the Layer Panel of the Ribbon? It looks innocent enough, not much different than any of the other panels around it. That is until you expand it and are overwhelmed with icons, options, and the many tools. The entire series dives into the many layer options, including exploring how to present Paper Space Layouts with the help of Layers.
Thanks Mike and Design & Motion!

Autodesk's AutoCAD 360 is the first professional application that has been optimized for the iPad Air.
AutoCAD 360 was shown in the Apple iPad Air video unveiled at todays Apple Keynote event. At 326 pixels per inch, the iPad Air is the highest resolution tablet on the market.
"Autodesk is excited to report that Autodesk AutoCAD 360 is the first professional software app that is optimized for the iPad Air & iPad mini with Retina Display. The new Apple-designed A7 chip with 64-bit desktop-class architecture provides designers and engineers a much improved experience out of the gate when working with AutoCAD 360.
"We are thrilled to be the first professional application to be ready for prime time iPad Air and iPad mini with Retina display. From a user's perspective, navigating and editing large models will be snappier and much more fun," said Jonathan Seroussi, director of AutoCAD web and mobile. "Users will see an immediate improvement in a number of functions such as rendering – render time is twice as fast in both navigation and editing."
In addition to faster rendering, opening drawings is much faster, and selection is also twice as fast.
AutoCAD 360 is one of the most popular and widely used Autodesk mobile apps, with more than 5.5 million downloads on the App Store, more than 40 million uploaded drawings, and there are more than 1 million active monthly users on iOS alone.
AutoCAD 360, optimized for iPad Air and iPad mini with Retina display, will be available on the App Store."

Most of us have had the experience of a having a friend enthusiastically try to hip him to a band. Oftentimes, you don't understand what your friend has been raving about. You tell them as much, but they are insistent that you must be missing something. They ask that you listen to give them a few more listens, certain that something will click and you will share their passion. More often than not, it doesn't work. I have been annoyed by such friends many times. I have also been that annoying friend many times.
ESPN, Sports Illustrated, and even non-sports media outlets are that friend right now, with their incessant pushing of David Beckham on us. We really don't care. I played soccer from the ages of 4 to 14 and even refereed for several years as a teenager. I can appreciate the talent and strategy that goes into playing the sport. I just do not care to watch it played professionally. And as dreamy as he is, Beckham is not going to make me any more interested in it.

I am so disappointed after wasting my time and money on this much hyped restaurant. I had high hopes after noting a 26 rating for food in zagat's. Those hopes were swiftly dashed by our heavily Spanish accented captain. First, we ordered an expensive Barolo from the wine list. The captain (there was no sommelier) brought a decanter but proceeded to pour the wine directly into our glasses without offering the traditional sample. When we questioned why he did not decant the wine the waiter, who spoke in a heavy Spanish accent (no, not Italian) stared blankly, then poured (he did not decant it, he dumped it) the remainder of the bottle into the decanter.
Next we were treated to a few sample appetizers. The few slices of hard salami/pepperoni were bland. The overcooked and ice cold zuccini was too heavily peppered and contained lumps of congealed olive oil. The bread was tasteless.
For appetizers my male companion ordered the Vongole Casino which was tasty and contained a bit of bacon. A pleasantly different slant on a traditional appetizer. My stracciatella was too salty and lumpy.
After being informed that the Spaghetti Carbonara was prepared with a cream sauce I ordered the Spaghetti Vongole. I often use the preparation of Carbonara as my gauge for the quality of an Italian restaurant. The dish is not made in Italy using cream, it is made with fresh eggs, bacon and cheese. When a chef uses cream in his or her Carbonara, it is usual an indication that the chef has little formal cooking training. The Vongole was inedible. It was doused in salt and pepper so much so that I had to send it back. In its stead I received the house special pasta which was a combination of white and green fettuccine in a light primavera sauce. While the sauce was tasty, the pasta itself was crunchy. My dining partner's ravioli in pesto sauce was prepared in a cream sauce with a touch of pesto. Also an example of the chef's lack of education and/or experience. Most of us foodies know that pesto is not a cream sauce. It was so heavy and rich that my partner was unable to eat any of it.
All in all it was one of the most disappointing eating experiences I've ever had in New York City. It came so highly touted I simply cannot understand what happened. Perhaps there are new staff. Perhaps there are two Il lGiglios and I went to the wrong one.
In any case, don't waste your time.

I had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant. To begin, the waiter asked if we wanted bubbly or still water. We said still, assuming that it would be nyc water. They brought us a bottle of water which we drank. When they brought us a second bottle, we said that we wanted plain water. We were never given the choice of plain nyc water, so we assumed that the still water was regular water.The waiter said he would find out what we originally asked for. He never gave us an answer. They charged us $10 for that bottle. One of our group ordered dover sole and asked for a vegetable instead of the potatoes. The waiter said there was no substitutions. They recited the specials of the night without giving prices. When we received the bill, we were quite shocked to learn that the sole was $40 (without a substitution) and the langostino (baby lobster) was $55.
To sum it all up, this place was a total rip off.

I picked Il Gigio for a 50th birthday party for my wife and her family who flew in from California. This place is fantastic. Instead of the usual ""this is what is on the menu, take it or leave it"", Ivo, the leader of the pack, told us he could basically put anything together we wanted. And so he did. Utterly phenomenal. The food was outstanding, the service even better. They start serving you as soon as you sit down with wonderful cheese and breads and other goodies. Attentive but not intrusive waiters. I would highly recommend this restaurant for any occasion. Anyone who is disappointed eating here just can't be pleased.

i did not expect anything from this place, even though i was told it was incredible. from the moment you walk in to the moment you walk out the door ... the staff... the food... lamb chops are heavenly, prosciutto with melon melts in your mouth, cheesecake is perfect. stop reading. start reserving. don't eat all day. come hungry. if you can limit yourself, expect to spend about $200.

This place serves really fantastic, standard Italian dishes. The antipasto that is set on the table in the minutes before even getting the menus is a very nice touch. The service is outstanding, yet in no way overbearing. The ambience isn't the greatest in the city, and it's pretty loud, but that seems almost irrelevant given the quality of everything else. We will be returning.

I have heard about this place for many years. I finally had the opportunity to eat here last night. I think I was afraid that after you here so many wonderful things about a place, you are afraid it cannot hold up to it.
We had excellent service and we were showered with very unique, fresh and delicious starters (even before our appy). Then we ate the Antipasto for two which was also excellent. I ordered the Baby Lobsters with wine and garlic.... I must say this was one of the best meals I have ever eaten! Even the desert was soo good. Leave lots of room for food when you go!
If I had to say something negative it would only be that the lighting is very dim. A great romantic find! Also, two people with appy's came to 260.00 with tip.
I would go back in a minute!

this one of the worst dining experiences I have had in NYC. we were rushed through our meal, which was very average and the check was outrageous ---$32 for a side of veggies!!!
will never go back or recommend - total rip-off

My boyfriend and I went here for Valentines day last weekend - and it was perfect! In addition to fantastic food and about 4 complimentary appetizers, the waitstaff was wonderful. They brought every woman a rose, and set us chocolate hearts with the check. I loved the atmosphere, and the fact that the staff went that extra step to make valentines day special. This is a great place and we can't wait to go back. The only thing is to be wary of the prices of the specials, which were considerably more expensive than the menu prices. Regardless, it was a fantastic dinner and evening....

This is far and away my favorite restaurant in NYC! Great service and unbelievable food. The other reviews who rated the food medicore are insane. Go w/ whatever the Maitre'D reccomends. One thing to note definitley bring the expense account.

The food is always excellent, especially the pasta starters cooked table-side. The rack of lamb is superior to all of the main courses. Why do some waiters believe they have something to feel superior about? God only knows... Great place for a business dinner.

"The exchange is not always open-minded and raises the question of whether the transparency is ever going to have that great an effect if so many people have their minds made up on the left and the right. That gives me pause about transparency, because I've always believed that if you explain how you do your job, being careful to protect your sources, you will increase your credibility. I don't want to be put down as a nonbeliever, but I'm a little less certain.... I think that being in a job that's in the middle of an effort to be transparent has simply immersed me in it so much that it has raised questions in my mind about its magnificence."

I recently went to a subscription model and am having an interesting time experimenting with the price to see 1) How high I can put it before reaching a resistance level and 2) What is the best type of price format.
The second point relates to whether the price ends in zero cents ($10.00) or $10.50c or $10.95c. When ever I have tried lower figures ending with 50c orders drop, when I try 00c the orders increase. So a question to US members, what is the ideal or expected cent ending?
Also does "Normal price $15.00 but seasonal reduction $12.00" sway US purchasers??
Any thoughts appreciated.

Run the same offer at the one price for a period of time and then at the second price.
The one that makes the most profit is the one you use.

The extra $0.50 is a major deterrent, I've seen it!
My rationale is this ... If your offering costs lets say 10.00 then you'll add on the clearing costs (paypal/merchant fees) and you'll round it up to $11.50. The consumers perceive it this way also, so they assume your a small time operation. Stay with a $XX.00 price if it is under $20.00, but over $20 go with $XX.99.
I would price it at $15.00 and then have a $3 coupon if they refer a friend [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img]
I know a software company that gets more sales because they raised their price from $24.99 to $35.99 ... price = perceived value.

Get smart on pricing all you merchants. Walmart knows the facts on billions of dollars worth of cash register ringups. NEVER price something at 29.99 or 29.95 since all consumers assume this is retail pricing. If an item sells for 49.95 you sell more if priced at 51.40 or 48.68. Markdown on 49.95 should be priced at an odd amount like 36.84 because the consumer then assumes he's buying at your actual cost.
That will be 2487.40 for my fee on etailing 101 pricing advice...no PayPal please!!

Thanks Haiko, very helpful!
Not sure on Ecomcity's input as surely that relates to physical items and not a subscription. It would seem strange to me to see "Subscribe here only $39.24". Won't the consumer be suspicious?

The first season of Jazz Jurassica exceeded our expectations. Every show SOLD OUT. We had packed houses for Zoe Schwartz's Jazz Quartet, Tom Seals Band, Leigh Coleman with Matt Carter Trio, Tony Roberts with The Ray d'Inverno Trio and Annika Skoogh Latin Quartet.
The second season of six shows is currently being planned and will run from October 2017 to March 2018. We will bring you a consistently high quality mix of jazz, funk, swing, latin and blues. These shows, on previous experience, sell out very quickly so you might like to note the forthcoming dates in your diary.

From 'The German military mind', The Spectator, 15 August 1914:
All Englishmen are now agreed that Germany made the war, and that the moving force within the German nation was and is German militarism. The astonishing thing is in looking back is that any one here should have doubted what would happen if we either weakened our Navy below the safety points, or hesitated in the support of France and Russia. Our Navy, we admit, was not "let down," but Germany thought she had enough evidence that Britain would remain neutral if France was attacked. For the German military mind this was good enough. Before Germany had discovered her mistake she had committed herself to war. Liberals, who never believed in what we have been saying for years was bound to happen if their extreme policy were adopted, are at least convinced that Germany has been playing a cynical and unscrupulous part. Mr. Massingham, who has worked perhaps harder than any Liberal writer for cutting down the Navy and denying all obligations to France and Russia, made a public retraction of his confidence in Germany in the Daily News of Monday: –
"I think that those of us to whom the idea of a European war, and of our country taking part in it, has brought a measure of personal distress which exceeds even our private griefs, must say with frankness what is in their minds. I confess that Sir Edward Grey's speech left me unconvinced and hostile on the subject of our individual intervention, and that my ultimate reserves as to policy remain. But I must say, too, and publicly, that the reading of the White Paper produced a tremendous revulsion. Things being what they were, engagements standing as they stood the character of the ruling power in Germany being revealed for what it was, nations being subjected to their engagements and line of action which do actually influence and control them, I could not resist the evidence that they were being forced into war…. The die has been cast. Who cast it? Apparently one of the least intelligent and moral groups in the world. With what result? To give over Europe to the temporary control of such influences. A grievous, a terrible conclusion. Religion, science, art, literature, all voiceless and powerless. Ruthless, senseless force – tearing up treaties, disregarding neighbourliness, and every decency and every nobility of life – in supreme control."
Mr. Massingham, not for the first time, has had the courage to say that the facts are against him. Mr. Bernard Shaw, also, having ridiculed every kind of preparation for war, now urges his country on in a letter to the Daily News without apparently suffering from any embarrassment or any sense of incongruity: –
"Prussian militarism," he says, "has bullied us for forty years; and a month ago neither Germany nor France believde that we would fight when it came to the point. That is why there was such a wild explosion of delighted surprise when the French Chambers learnt that we were game after all. That is why the Kaiser, though reckless of every other interest concerned, offered us the best excuse he could invent for our neutrality, believing that we were only too ready to snatch at it. And that is also why we had to take off our coats and sail in… Our immediate business is therefore to fight as hard as we can; for our weights when the settlement comes will depend on the parts we shall have played in the conflict."
Blindness is now at an end, though the cure of it has indeed been such a risky one that, but for a series of fortunate accidents, it might have endangered the life of the patient. There has never really been any secret as to how the German military mind works and as to what it aimed at. In 1904 German military preparations took a new and deeply significant turn. In that year the German General Staff came to the conclusion that, as France must be virtually crushed before Russia could bring her weight to bear, Germany must deliberately ignore the neutrality of Belgium, Luxembourg and, if necessary, Switzerland. Strategic railways were built up to the front tiers of Belgium and Switzerland and along those frontiers. Great camps were constructed on the same frontiers. It was impossible to hide these preparations, and the Germans did not attempt to do so. The strategy of envelopment required the use of neutral territories, and the law of necessity was openly preached as sufficient excuse for violating treaties. The doctrine was explained by the Emperor himself. On January 1st, 1908, he read to the highest Army officer a document which had been drawn up by Field-Marshal von Schlieffen, and which expounded and justified the necessity of going round the French defences through neutral territory. This document was published. It was no secret…
This war will be fought in vain and all the blood and money wasted if the result is not to free Europe from the terrible influence and dictation of the German military mind. That is the whole subject of the war.

The Swiss cartel watchdog has cleared Holcim and CRH PLC of price-fixing charges tied to cement and contrete deliveries for a Swiss Alpine tunnel.
Switzerland's Competition Commission said Friday it found no evidence of price agreements between Holcim's Swiss unit and two other cement producers, CRH subsidiary Jura-Cement-Fabriken and Vigier Holding AG. The investigation was launched in 2004 following a Swiss media report the deliveries for a construction of a major Swiss railway tunnel were overpriced.
The 57-kilometer tunnel is due to be finished in the next decade.

Tommy Lee's tattoos are finally going to come in handy — for the rocker's first full-fledged acting role. Lee recently finished shooting his part for the film "10th & Wolf," in which he plays a supporting part as a clueless club bouncer called Jimmy Tats.
Not everyone in the film has such a colorful name, which is somewhat surprising considering the material is about the mafia. Based on a real-life mob war in Philadelphia that took place during the late '80s and early '90s, "10th & Wolf" (which was actually shot in Pittsburgh) follows the attempts of one mob family (John Stanza's) to wrest control of a piece of turf when the head of the another mob family (Nicadimis "Little Nicky" Scarfo) is incarcerated.
Scarfo's extended family includes the Santoro brothers, Tommy (played by James Marsden) and Vincent (Brad Renfro), and their cousin Joey DeSimone (Giovanni Ribisi). Most of the action takes place at Joey's club, Congress, located at the intersection for which the film is named, where Jimmy Tats works. The cast also includes Dennis Hopper, Val Kilmer, Piper Perabo, Dash Mihok, Lesley Ann Warren and Brian Dennehy.
"I just did this role with some amazing actors," Lee said. "[Ribisi] is amazing. It's really hard-core, kind of violent. You'll have to look for it. They're just about done shooting it."
The story was co-written by Chazz Palminteri, inspired by a story by FBI special agent Joe Pistone (the real-life "Donnie Brasco"). The film is currently in post-production, with a scheduled release in 2006.

It's been a typically busy couple of weeks here at the observatory, with a good spell of pleasant weather giving the green light for the continuation of our multitude of ongoing projects. One more addition to our team arrived in the form of Laura, Alison's other niece, joining the well-oiled domestic machine of Fleur, Catriona, Beth and Alex in the endless cycle of housekeeping duties and pudding production. The ornithological staff have been kept occupied, and out of the kitchen, by a combination of building another Heligoland trap, chasing around after elusive plovers, manually extracting undesirable vegetation from our prized field of tuberous crops and coordinating the logistical minefield of shuffling all the staff bedrooms around to make extra guest space available.
The new Heligoland trap is progressing rapidly thanks to Mark's detailed planning and the practice we had building the last one, although it does seem considerably bigger than we had originally envisaged. With most of the uprights already concreted in place, it is a bit late for it to be resized, but the considerable dimensions that the trap has taken on can only result in it being even more effective at catching birds in the autumn.
Kevin has been back on the island for a couple of weeks, and has been hard at work finishing the harrowing and sowing in our crop fields and creating the observatory's new camping area. He also managed to persuade a visiting microlight pilot to take him for a spin around the island: a fantastic opportunity for some aerial photography, the results of which will be appearing on the NRBO website soon.
Paul has been busy on sheep shearing duty for most of the last week, much to the delight of Beth who got the opportunity to fulfil her questionable ambition of divesting the troublesome ungulates of their fleeces. The famous North Ronaldsay sheep, adept at breaking down walls, leaping over barbed wire fences and tip-toeing over cattle grids, have been particularly mischievous of late, causing no end of frustration as they repeatedly thwart all attempts to keep them out of the fields.
The revamping of the NRBO website, my own little project/obsession at the moment, is coming along slowly as I become inured to the idiosyncrasies of the software and the monitor in the staff office. I'll shamelessly take this opportunity to plug the site (again), and remind you all to keep checking back as I'll be adding more pages whenever I get the time to make them.
Both Fleur and Heather celebrated birthdays during the week. A Barbecue on the beer terrace was organised, with a vast spread of food for us all to overindulge on until we could barely move enough to embark upon the towering pile of washing up. Pictionary was the evening entertainment of choice on both occasions, providing all the 'quick draw fun' that was claimed on the box, as well as a little bit of controversy over my drawing of 'radial tyre', which should definitely have won the game for me, Mark and Alex.
Radial Tyre, Ray-Dial-Tyre: that's close enough, surely! Who ever uses the term 'radial tyre' anyway?
All that remains for this blog post is the obligatory weekly updates on the issues that you all tune in to hear about. The potatoes are fine. Check. The trees are also fine. Check. The puppies are fine (and rapidly becoming a boot-chewing, floor-dirtying nuisance). Check.
Catriona has promised a grammatically flawless write-up for next week, which I look forward to not having to edit for you. For now though, folks, that's all.

North Korean Dream Sequence Project 2, Dip and Drip International Klein Blue
Mina Cheon aka Kim Il Soon
North Korean Dream Sequence Project 2
Dip and Drip Painting Series in International Klein Blue 01-18, 2017
Acrylic on canvas, 36 x 24 x 1 inches each
As one of the last remaining hermit kingdoms of communism, North Korea has relentlessly remained socialist amidst a global overturn towards late-capitalism, and stands out with its greatest cultural paradox of vulnerability and threat. Mina Cheon, who is a South Korean artist working with a North Korean art persona named "Kim Il Soon," campaigns for global awareness, North Korean lives matter, with her political pop and protest art she calls "polipop," short for political pop art. Her new North Korean Dream Sequence Project showcases the unimaginable possibilities intersecting art, society, and politics, by painting things only possible in dreams to achieve North Korean liberation, freedom, and Korean unification.
While Kim Il Soon's past paintings were done in North Korean social realist style, the new paintings are brazen in hot pink and in this particular series, in Klein International Blue. With swath of abstract expressionism overlaying realism, only in her dreams can Kim Il Soon truly paint freely and in abstraction, since the dictatorship and communist North Korea mandates art to be restrictive and done in a singular propaganda style. The Yves Klein International Blue as the pinnacle color of modern art, finds a new stage in the dream works of this North Korean artist, making transnational connections for dialog, global peace, and unity, through truthful arts related to life.
As a symbolic activity of Korean unification, the Klein blue is splashed, dipped, dripped on top of colorfully painted images of "Happy Land" themed Styrofoam punch-out paper toys found in Choco·Pie boxes, which are smuggled into North Korea from the South. As an extended theme by the artist, this "Choco-Pie Propaganda" takes the South Korean manufactured Choco-Pie confectionary that is vastly loved in North Korea, for its communication and exchange possibilities, hoping to heal the rift between the countries. These 18 vibrant paintings to be seen on both the front and back sides of the canvas, deliberately intermix Western abstraction with social realism, pop art and politics. Happy Land therefore, signifies the complexities of North Korea and its global presentation, our cultural bias and capitalist notion of happiness found in consumerism culture, and the question of global welfare tied to Korean unification.

How to Earn Store Credit
STAND DESK Customers can earn Store Credits towards future STAND DESK purchases if a referred friend clicks on their referral link and makes a valid Qualifying Purchase. A Qualifying Purchase must include a STAND DESK frame and not be returned or refunded within 30 days of receiving the items.
30 days after the "Referred Friend" receives their Qualifying Purchase and provided no returns or refunds have been issued, the STAND DESK Customer will be awarded with the store credit amount described in the accompanying promotional materials.
How STAND DESK Customers Redeem Store Credits
Store Credits will be issued as a coupon code that can be entered on the checkout page, and must be used by the STAND DESK customer within one year from the date they are issued. After one year, the Store Credits will expire. Store Credits may not be combined with additional coupons. Store Credits may not transferred or exchanged for any cash or money.
Store Credits may not be earned by through multiple referrals and are only valid from the first successful Qualifying Purchase.
Sharing Referral Links
Referrals should only be used for personal and non-commercial purposes, and only shared with personal connections that will appreciate receiving these invitations. Referral links should not be published or distributed where there is no reasonable basis for believing that all or most of the recipients are personal friends (such as coupon websites, Reddit, or Wikipedia).

The standard Store Credit is $30, but may vary in some cases (ie. Kickstarter Appreciation). Varying Store Credit amounts and additional terms will be shown in the referral invitation or accompanying promotional materials.
Multiple Referrals
A referred friend may only use one referral link. If a referred friend receives referral links from multiple STAND DESK Customers, only the corresponding STAND DESK Customer of the referral link used by the Referred Friend will receive Store Credit.
If any provision in these terms are held to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, such provision (or the part of it that is making it invalid, void or unenforceable) will be struck and not affect the validity of and enforceability of the remaining provisions.
Termination and Change
STAND DESK may suspend or terminate the Referral Program or a user's ability to participate in the Referral Program at any time for any reason. Requirements and incentives may also change at any time.
Store Credits earned as a result of fraudulent activities are null and void. We reserve the right to suspend accounts or remove referrals if we notice any activity that we believe is abusive or fraudulent. We reserve the right to review and investigate all referral activities and to suspend accounts or cancel or modify referrals as we deem fair and appropriate.

Updates to the Terms
We can update these terms at any time without prior notice. If we modify these terms, we will post the modification on the standdesk.co website, applications, or services, which are effective upon posting.

FARO, Portugal — When the U.S. women get rolling, watch out.
Abby Wambach got her 154th goal, leaving her four shy of Mia Hamm's all-time record, and Rachel Buehler scored in her 100th appearance as the Americans rebounded from a sluggish first half to beat Iceland 3-0 Wednesday in the opener of the Algarve Cup.
The Americans struggled to find their rhythm in the first half, and needed a diving save by Vineland, N.J., native Jill Loyden on a header inside the penalty area to avoid falling behind in the 19th minute. But the top-ranked Americans were more assertive in the second half, and it quickly paid off.
Loyden was making her third U.S. National Team appearance and earned the shutout.
"Anytime you can play and get on the field and get some minutes, it's a great opportunity to have fun and smile out there and I get to play behind some awesome teammates," Loyden said in quotes on the U.S. National Team's website. "We had fun out there and it showed. We got the shutout.
"When I really don't have to do too much, that's always a great game for us. Credit to the defense for doing their job and making my life easy."
Shannon Boxx also scored for the Olympic champions, who got all three goals and 12 of their 18 shots in the second half.
"The second half was a lot better. We got the rust off and started knocking some passes," Loyden said. "We were looking good and playing some sexy soccer."
The U.S. will play Friday against China, which drew 1-1 with Sweden on Wednesday in the other Group B game. In Group A, Norway beat Japan 2-0 and Denmark and Germany tied 0-0. In Group C, host Portugal beat Wales 2-0 and Mexico beat Hungary 1-0.
Just three minutes into the half, Buehler headed a corner kick by Lauren Cheney into the left corner of the net. It was only the fourth career goal for the defender, who was wearing the captain's armband in honor of her 100th appearance. Boxx doubled the lead in the 62nd minute when she headed in Christie Rampone's cross from 6 yards out.
Wambach closed out the scoring with a tap-in goal in the 74th minute. Alex Morgan beat Iceland goalkeeper Thora Helgadottir to a pass on the left side of the penalty area, then poked the ball past Helgadottir to Wambach, who was alone in front of the net.
The 2012 FIFA Player of the Year needs four goals to match the international scoring mark set by Hamm from 1987-2004.

Oh! How I love this layout! I love the picture of your sister, Susan and all the travel elements! This makes me want to go to Paris!
Great papers for this picture!! Love the guy with the umbrella too
Wow! Betsey. I love this one! I always admire you for finding things on the net. Love your choice of background paper. (I have a sheet of that) The man with the umbrella is perfect! Love the suitcase and glittery letters. Wonderful. Wish you could be there with your sister.
Great job! Perfect papers and embellishments for a Paris layout! The weather there looks just like the January day our tour guide took us to this tourist photo shoot spot across the Seine to get photos of the Eiffel tower.

On April 13, 1844, New York's The Sun added an extra page to their paper. The page claimed that a popular balloonist, named Monck Mason, had flown across the Atlantic Ocean in just 74 hours–a historical first.
Named Victoria, the balloon had departed from England and was headed for Paris, when one of the propellers malfunctioned. The balloon drifted off course–and ended up in South Carolina. Word quickly spread and readers were excited to get a copy of the paper for themselves. They even showed up to the newspaper's office to get copies.
But, unknown to the enthusiastic crowd, the story was actually a hoax–perpetrated by Edgar Allan Poe. The hoax was revealed two days later but, by then, The Sun had already made quite a bit of money.
Poe later wrote that, "I never witnessed more intense excitement to get possession of a newspaper." He seemed surprised that people were so easily manipulated by false news. He even stood on The Sun's steps to inform the crowd that the story was a hoax. But, most of the readers ignored him while they were snatching up copies of the paper.

Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) is one of the most important-and controversial-issues affecting military transformation. U.S. basing infrastructure must be recalibrated to reflect America's forever changing national security requirements. President Bush has initiated another round of BRAC to eliminate excess basing infrastructure and free resources for the Pentagon's critical transformation initiatives. At a recent event co-hosted by The Heritage Foundation and the Minuteman Institute for National Defense Studies, experts examined the issues surrounding the 2005 round of BRAC.
The 2005 Round
There are two schools of thought on the current round of BRAC. One is that the Department of Defense has too much infrastructure and that money, resources, and personnel could be put to better use. The other view holds that with the U.S. military engaged in the war on terror, fighting in Iraq, and facing uncertain future threats, now is not the time for BRAC.
The Pentagon itself encourages the use of "best business practices," and it is worth looking at the situation from a business perspective. No business could survive supporting the excess infrastructure that currently burdens the Department of Defense. For that reason, and despite some concerns about timing and impact on operational readiness, most experts agree that 2005 is the right time for another round of BRAC.
Undertaking a round of BRAC at this time offers a number of advantages:
Advances transformation. BRAC is not just about closing and realigning bases, but also changing the way forces are supported and wars are fought. BRAC would help to focus resources on realigning, training, and moving a 21st century fighting force that has almost outgrown its 20th century support structure. This round of BRAC is intended to focus on realignment, not closure, and should have only a minimal impact on operational readiness.
Increases efficiency. To accomplish its transformation goals, the Department of Defense must change the ways that it supports troops, acquires hardware, repairs materiel, and manages its personnel. To afford these changes, it must eliminate excess overhead and infrastructure and address outdated business practices. BRAC is an important part of this process. Any large organization must be in the asset management business.
Strengthens the military industrial base. Eliminating excess overhead allows the private and public sectors of the defense industrial base to compete more successfully. BRAC allows companies that support national security to "take the slack out" and streamline their facilities, workforces, and so on.
Provides impetus to other economic development. There is no question that the first few years after a base closure or realignment can be extremely difficult for an affected community. But many communities where bases have closed or realigned have successfully adapted through community leadership, planning, and federal assistance and actually gone on to achieve higher rates of job and income growth.
The Role of the BRAC Commission
Past BRAC Commissions (in 1988, 1991, 1993, and 1995) have shared several similarities:
About 80 percent of the time, BRAC commissioners follow the Department of Defense's recommendations. But recent Commissions have become increasingly activist.
Commissions have been more inclined to delete bases from the Department of Defense's BRAC list rather than add their own.
Communities that fear they may be "on the list" are likely to follow the BRAC Commission's activities closely. Past rounds of BRAC show that if a community has a base on the list for realignment or closure, chances are high that that based will be realigned or closed. But if a community's base is not on the original list, it is unlikely to be added. Recent legislation requires a majority of seven commissioners, out of nine total, to add a base to the list. Communities should remember that Congress does not select individual bases for BRAC but only has the opportunity vote down the entire list. If Congress chooses not to vote, then the Commission's recommendations are automatically enacted.
Making the 2005 BRAC a Success
Participants provided the following suggestions for the success of this round of BRAC:
Continue to make BRAC decisions based on national defense and security requirements, not political considerations.
Ensure that uniformed military leadership, especially from the National Guard, is sufficiently represented in the process. The National Guard's state Adjutants General now have inadequate say in BRAC despite their vested interest in bases that may be BRAC candidates and the role that BRAC could play in resolving the imbalance between the active and reserve components.
The BRAC process should balance community concerns with training and operational requirements. Encroachment and environmental concerns may harm relationships between communities and the Department of Defense in the next 10 to 15 years. Those involved in BRAC should look ahead to these issues arising.
For more information on Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC), see Heritage Foundation Executive Memorandum No. 953, "Defense Priorities for the Next Four Years," WebMemo No. 507, "BRAC Must Not Be Delayed," and Backgrounder No. 1716, " Guidelines for a Successful BRAC," all available on Heritage.org.
Jack Spencer is Senior Policy Analyst for Defense and National Security in the Kathryn and Shelby Cullom Davis Institute for International Studies at The Heritage Foundation. Kathy Gudge is, Research Assistant in Defense and National Security. This paper is based on presentations given at "Whither Base Closure? Next Steps for Congress," held at the National Guard Memorial Building on March 16, 2005.

The Washington Redskins' hole at safety could be filled by a familiar face: Ryan Clark. The former Redskin and Pittsburgh Steeler said on ESPN that he will visit with Washington on Thursday.
Clark played for the Redskins from 2004-05, but not for the current defensive staff (though inside linebackers coach Kirk Olivadotti was here during that time). But after 24 starts, Clark signed with Pittsburgh in 2006 and formed a strong safety tandem with Troy Polamalu.
Clark was a free safety in Pittsburgh, but played both safety positions in Washington. The Redskins run the same scheme as Pittsburgh, so there wouldn't be a big transition. Clark has missed only four games in the past six years.
Washington missed out on safety Mike Mitchell, who opted to sign with Pittsburgh -- to replace Clark. The Redskins were not strong bidders for Jairus Byrd, who signed with New Orleans. The question will be: What does Clark, at 35, have left? He obviously would be used to mentor and help groom the young safeties such as Phillip Thomas, Bacarri Rambo and even Trenton Robinson and Jose Gumbs.
The Redskins could always opt to also re-sign safety Brandon Meriweather to a small deal as well. If they re-sign Reed Doughty, it would be as a backup and special teamer. His return is not a lock, though some in the building would like to see him return.

First, we are so grateful to Colin and Lynette for putting together such a wonderful trip. They really did their best to share the best of the North Island with us: great roads and scenery and sightseeing, fascinating museums and cultural displays and the glowworm cave, terrific food, and -most of all- wonderful people. We enjoyed it all more than we can say.
Our stay at the sheep station was probably one of the most memorable and enjoyable of the trip.
What a gem of a country! I especially appreciated the fact that you can still find good roads that go right along the water's edge, so you can actually see the ocean, and pause at a beach or a bay to enjoy the sand and surf and wildlife without having to dodge high-risers or go in and out and back and forth. And the Southern Alps - wow!
Our time on New Zealand's North Island was very well planned by Colin and Lynette, so there wasn't much more that we could have hoped for.

Did a tour around the North Island (Te Ika a Maui) of New Zealand (Aotearoa) in Nov. 2011 with Colin, Lynette and their friends.
Had an absolute blast. Great Company. Great accommodation. Great scenery.

I did the North Island, New Zealand tour in November 2011 with the team from Pohutukawa Motorcycle tours. Colin and Lynette were great tour guides, their organization was impeccable and the accommodation was comfortable and affordable. Their route took in some of New Zealand's most scenic sights and the roads were some of the best in the world to ride on. Looking forward to joining the 2016 tour.

Great rides lined up and could not ask for a better Road Captain and Staff.

A big thanks to the team at Pohutukawa Motorcycle Tours. Another gre...at trip organised to the South Island of New Zealand. Weather at times was challening but the organising of accommodation and rideing times was excellent. A great bunch of riders and many laughs had by all. Seen some of New Zealands great sights. Looking forward to another trip with them. Thanks again.

Great organised tour by Pohutukawa Motorcycle Tours. This is the second time we have joined in and I must say, it was awesome to be part of the group. I would fully recommend one of their tours to anyone that is looking for great rides and great company.
Well done Colin and Lynette.
