'Well done, keep it up!': Russian politician defends hooligans after weekend of intense fan violence
A Russian politician has defended the behaviour of Russian football fans, saying their violent clashes with English supporters were because they were defending the nation's honour.
Igor Lebedev, a member of the Russian Duma and the committee of the Russian Football Union, took to twitter to show support for the fans who were involved in hooliganism before, during and after Russia's 1-1 draw with England at Euro 2016.
"I do not see anything terrible in fighting fans," he tweeted.
"On the contrary, well done our guys. Keep it up!"

Lebedev, the chairman of the parliamentary group for the far right Liberal Democratic Party, was also quoted in Russian publication Life expressing similar views.
"I do not think our fans have done something out of the ordinary, and we need to understand that football fans in 9 out of 10 cases come to the game, to fight, and this is a normal situation," he said.
"Guys defended the honor of the country and did not allow the British in any way defile our homeland. Our fans have to forgive and understand."
UEFA have warned both Russia and England that they face expulsion from the tournament if crowd trouble continues.

Unanswered: How to view constraints...?
Hi all. I have a SQL Server DB that i need to port out of SQL Server. I do not have a diagram illustrating the constraints in the construct of the tables. What is the best way to for me learn the relationships of the tables in sql server?
thanks for your help

I'd recommend using a tool like ErWin or Visio to construct a diagram.
If that isn't acceptable, I'd script the entire database using SQL Enterprise Mangler and look for the primary key and foreign key definitions. This is free, but it can take a lot of work.
If that doesn't work for you, then I'd need to understand why it wasn't acceptable before I could even venture a guess as to what you might want to try next.

You can also use sp_helpconstraint 'tablename' to find not only the freign keys on 'tablename', but also the foreign keys that reference 'tablename'.

Where are you porting your db to? Are you sure that's what you want to do?"The data in a record depends on the Key to the record, the Whole Key, and

Colloquium Speaker: Professor Pau Closas presents a talk on "Secure Satellite-Based Navigation Systems"
Colloquium Speaker: Professor Pau Closas presents a talk on "Secure Satellite-Based Navigation Systems"June 5, 2017 - 11:10 am
Winston Chung Hall, 205/206
Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) is the technology of choice for most position-related applications, when it is available. A GNSS receiver relies on a constellation of satellites to estimate a set of range measures from which to compute its position. These distances are calculated estimating the propagation time that transmitted signals take from each satellite to the receiver. The term GNSS encompasses GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, or Beidou systems among others. The main challenges of GNSS technology arise when operating in complex environments which are either naturally impaired by multipath, shadowing, high dynamics, or ionospheric scintillation; or intentionally/unintentionally interfered. In the last decade, ushered by an ever increasing demand for availability, accuracy, and reliability, the mitigation of these challenges has steered intense research on advanced receiver design. The main goal of this talk is to introduce the GNSS landscape and, motivated by its widespread use, highlight the need for securing and protecting GNSS infrastructure. The main threats and sources of interferences are classified, along with their impact and potential mitigation strategies that one might adopt at the receiver side.
Pau Closas received the MS and PhD in Electrical Engineering from the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) in 2003 and 2009, respectively. He also holds a MS degree in Advanced Mathematics and Mathematical Engineering from UPC since 2014. In 2003, he joined the Department of Signal Theory and Communications, UPC, as a Research Assistant. In 2008 he was Research Visitor at the Stony Brook University (SBU), NY, USA. In 2009 he joined the CTTC, where he was Senior Researcher and Head of the Statistical Inference for Communications and Positioning Department. His primary areas of interest include statistical and array signal processing, estimation and detection theory, stochastic filtering, robust statistics, and game theory, with applications to positioning systems, wireless communications, and mathematical biology.
He is the recipient of the EURASIP Best PhD Thesis Award 2014, the 9th Duran Farell Award for Technology Research, and the 2016 ION's Early Achievement Award, in recognition to his contributions to navigation systems and signal processing fields. He served in the organization committees of flagship conferences, for instance, as Publications Chair of the IEEE SSP 2016 and the IEEE ICASSP 2020 conferences. He is also Guest Editor of special issues in the IEEE Trans. on Vehicular Technologies, the Proceedings of the IEEE, and the IEEE Sig. Proc. Magazine.

Review of "Nokia 1100"
"A phone that's just a phone"
This is a great phone… if you just want a phone. It has no fancy gizmos, no pictures, and no music. It makes phone calls and sends texts, but that's about it.To look at, it's a pretty standard Nokia. It can have a variety of coloured covers (including blue, pink, red, green and yellow) but mine is the boring grey and black one.
This phone is pretty small, at only 106mm x 46mm x 20mm, and weighing 86g.
The front of the phone has a small (black and white) screen with the standard phone keys underneath. There is a button with a red dot, to turn the phone on and off, a big "menu" key in the middle, the "cancel" key and the scrolling up and down keys.The most technically advanced thing about this phone is that it has a flashlight! The easiest way to use this is by pressing and holding down the "C" key, this activates the light and by releasing the key the light is turned off.
The battery charger plugs into the base of the phone. It takes around 3 ½ hours to fully charge the battery. I don't use the phone much, but has lasted me about two weeks before it needs recharging.THE MENUS
~~ Messages
As you can expect, this is where you can write messages, look in your inbox, and check the drafts of those you haven't yet sent. Predictive text can be turned on or off.
It also has a "chat" feature, which I have to confess I've never used. This lets you have a conversation with others via text message, each message is sent as a separate text but the messages are not saved.~~ Contacts
The place to find the numbers of all those people you need to call. The phone will store up to 50 entries.
Here you can also add, edit or delete entries and if you are really sad (I confess I am) you can assign a special ring tone to identify when you have received a call from a particular number.
~~ Call register
Gives you lists of your most recent missed calls, received calls or dialled numbers. You can see the time of the call and add or delete it from your contacts list.
There are 35 ring tones on this phone. None of them are particularly special but with that many there is bound to be one which you can put up with. You can also change the ringing volume, set the message alert tone, the level of the keypad tones, turn the low battery warning on and off and set the phone to vibrate (or not) when it rings.
Here you can customise the phone tones for different events and environments.
Here you can adjust the different settings on the phone or set them all back to the default settings. You can set the clock and date, set up the call divert to divert your calls to the voice mailbox or another phone number, you can set up automatic redial (up to ten attempts)or assign speed dialling numbers.
You can select the language, set up a welcome note and set up automatic network selection.
You can also set the keypad of your phone to lock automatically after a predetermined length of time (I find this very useful!).
~~Alarm clock
The alarm can be set to sound just once or repeatedly.
You can save short notes with an alarm which is activated at the set date and time.
Snake II, (classic or campaign) and Space Impact
Calculator, stopwatch, countdown timer, composer (you can create your own ring tones), screensaver and flashlight.
At the moment it's £49.95 from the Carphone Warehouse with £10 airtime from T Mobile.
The press on covers in different colours are about £10 from Amazon.
This is a great phone if you don't want anything fancy. My last phone was a Sagem and the battery was on its last legs when I saw this in Sainsbury's as a "manager's special" for £15 (and only on T Mobile PAYG) last April. I didn't think I could go wrong with something at that price. In fact I was surprised at how nice it was and how easy to use. I've actually become quite fond of it! Its small size means you can pop it in your pocket if you aren't taking a bag (or if you happen to be a man!) It's pretty sturdy as I have dropped it a couple of times, but no one would know to look at it.
I was lucky that Father Christmas offered to buy me a new phone, so I've stuck with Nokia and got a 6230i. When I've worked out how to use it, I might write a review of that one too…

Lund, Sweden (SPX) Apr 20, 2017
Researchers from Lund University in Sweden have succeeded in producing nanotubes from a single building block using so-called molecular self-recognition. The tube can also change shape depending on the surrounding environment. The results can contribute to the future development of transport channels for drugs through the cell membrane.
In the present study, researchers from Lund University in Sweden, together with colleagues from Vilnius University in Lithuania, have studied how molecules attach to each other using weak chemical bonds to form large structures.
The aim of the study was to determine the smallest possible size of these molecules, in which they are still able to provide enough information to successfully attach and form a desired large structure. The researchers' strategy has been to use many weak hydrogen bonds which assemble themselves in a pre-programmed manner.
"It took 20 years for us to discover the design of this molecule which resulted in molecular nanotubes", says Kenneth Warnmark, chemistry professor at the Faculty of Science at Lund University.
As a unique bonus, they also discovered that the molecule can construct different shapes, depending on its environment. The researchers are able to modify this environment, partly, through their choice of solvent and, partly, through their choice of a so-called "guest molecule".
"The molecules can form a tube, but also change into the shape of a capsule or a molecular belt", Kenneth Warnmark.
Unlike the developed carbon nanotubes which are already on the market, the new molecular nanotubes can be regulated with regard to the diameter. Furthermore, the manufacturing process is both simpler and more environmentally friendly compared to that of the carbon nanotubes which are made from individual carbon atoms and are assembled using strong chemical bonds at high temperature.
"Being able to regulate the diameter is importance if you, for instance, want to use the tubes to transport something inside", says Kenneth Warnmark.
One possible application is the transport of drugs through a cell membrane for which the molecular nanotube can serve as a channel. The diameter of the tube and the properties of its surface make it suitable for transporting substances that regulate nerve signals in the human body, such as acetylcholine.
"People with Alzheimer's disease suffer from acetylcholine deficiency and hopefully, in the future, this could be a way to reduce the impact of the disease. However, it requires a lot more research as well as clinical studies before we know whether or not it works", says Kenneth Warnmark.

Well, I've been in school now for 4 1/2 weeks, and things are finally starting to settle down...sorta! It doesn't matter how many times you start a new year, it's always BUSY, BUSY, BUSY! I might be getting old or something!
In the middle of the hustle and bustle, I was looking around for a flash drive to load some PDFs for school on. I couldn't find one, so, of course, I googled 'flash drives' instead of getting off the couch. USB Memory Direct popped up. They have some the CUTEST flash drives! I REALLY love this FLIP FLOP
I hope everyone is having a great start to their school year...or summer, whichever the case may be. Hey, at least it's almost Friday and a long weekend to boot! And...I can still wear my flip flops!

One of the neat tributes to our dwindling number of World War II veterans is the Honor Flights to Washington D.C. where these old soldiers can view the national memorials which their sacrifices helped inspire.
About 3,500 veterans, now in their high 80s or early 90s, are scheduled to visit memorials this month, including the 900 that were to visit this week. On Tuesday, the first group learned that the federal memorials were closed because of the government shutdown. The World War 2 monument is an open air memorial and seeing it blocked by concrete barricades and yellow police tape was disgraceful.
Whoever gave the order to shut down the monuments should be ashamed. It's especially galling if it was done for political reasons.
The Obama administration used a similar tactic last March when it blamed sequestration for closing the doors to all White House tours. Actually, it was Obama who signed the sequester and then blamed House Republicans for the shutdown.
Thanks to several congressmen, the veterans who traveled to Washington on Honor Flights this week got to view the memorials. After greeting the veterans from his home state on Tuesday, GOP Rep. Steve Palazzo of Mississippi, amid chants from passerby of "Let them in, let them in," opened the barricade.
Another group of veterans from Puerto Rico also moved the barricades aside at the Korean War Memorial to lay a wreath.
Former Michigan Rep. Pete Hoekstra, who was incensed when he heard that the veterans were being blocked from visiting the monuments, praised the park police officers who didn't try to make a scene and stop the group from entering. One park officer, who said he was a veteran himself, accepted the act of civil disobedience and did not enforce the 'no stopping or standing' sign for the group of 90 World War 2 veterans.
"It's kind of like we can make everything else in government that is not important keep running but when it comes to honoring these heroes, we're going to the extra effort of barricading a memorial and having parks folks shut it down," Hoekstra said. "But this is one of those days that makes you feel good. Heaven knows politicians get enough blame these days, but these folks had the courage to come down here, challenge the establishment and get it resolved."
In a scathing message against the Obama administration, Republican Sen. Rand Paul compared security at the World War II Memorial with the security present during the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, in which four Americans died.
He tweeted that on Tuesday morning Barack Obama sent seven security guards to the World War II Memorial in order to keep out our vets.
Sadly, he said, that's two more than were present to guard our compound in Benghazi.
Whether it was invading the beaches of Normandy, recapturing a Pacific island, or engaging in some other distant battlefield, the survivors of The Greatest Generation have seen and experienced it all. Many of those arriving on Honor Flights are likely making their final and only trip to Washington to see their memorials.
If this administration went out of its way to deliberately block access to the monuments in order to score political points at the expense of these old veterans, then that kind of ploy sinks to a new low and should sicken every American.

It was almost 20 years ago when a young Edie Brickell and New Bohemians got its first bewildering taste of success. "What I Am," the lead single from Shooting Rubberbands at the Stars, resonated almost immediately with an audience bored with repetitive synthesizers and formulaic radio. That track, fueled by Brickell's hippie-chick chic and Kenny Withrow's liquid guitar solo, represented a new sound chiseled from the free-form performances of the Grateful Dead and honed by the precise power-pop of '80s radio. Within a year the band had toured the world and appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone. "Our first record wasn't even supposed to do anything," recalls Withrow. "They only shipped 20,000 copies of it, and if we sold those 20,000, everyone was going to be thrilled. They sold out in a few weeks, and the record ended up going platinum."
"What I Am" was to be the turbulent band's biggest success. The hard break-up after its sophomore album and Brickell's subsequent marriage to the legendary Paul Simon seemed to put an end to the band, but the New Bohemians' story isn't over yet. With a new album on the verge of release and a growing concert schedule, the band is back for what may be the emotional highlight of its career.
Blame it all on a serendipitous visit to a messy studio. One night in September 2004, after a jam session with her stepson Harper Simon's band, Brickell was hurriedly driven across the Brooklyn Bridge to producer Bryce Goggin's studio to capture the songs the group had just written. "When I walked in the studio and started looking around I immediately thought: 'New Bohemians,'" Brickell says. "His studio is just so funky. There's junk everywhere, and it looked like the places we used to jam in and rehearse in back in Dallas...I could tell that he was the guy the New Bohemians had always been looking for--our prince!"
The New Bohemians had actually reunited on a few separate occasions, mostly when they all happened to be in the same city. In 2000, the result was The Live Montauk Sessions, a document of a few weeks that the band had spent writing and recording together just for the sheer joy of it. For the album the New Bohemians reunited with former drummer Brandon Aly and added Sorta keyboardist Carter Albrecht. The album had a great vibe but left Brickell unfulfilled. "We were just kind of all over the place, and our recording didn't sound good," she says. "I was very disappointed."
But this time, perhaps the years of distance have finally paid off. The album that Goggin eventually produced for the New Bohemians, Stranger Things, will be released July 25, and because of a unique, long-term deal with record label Concord/Fantasy, it's the band's first to receive wide distribution since 1990's Ghost of a Dog. With it, the band members are ditching their past demons and finally making the album they've always wanted to. "And that's for a lot of different reasons," Withrow says. "A lot of it was Bryce and the way he recorded us all in the same room together. So many times when you're in the studio, your music is immediately dissected. This time it wasn't a layering procedure. A couple of the songs are basically live tracks, and Edie kept an insane amount of her live vocals which is unusual for most artists." Bush echoes the enthusiasm adding, "I think this is without a doubt the best New Bohemians record we've made. It's the best representation of where we are at a particular moment."
The band's right to be so upbeat. More lush and relaxed than previous releases, the 13-song collection is a fresh, modern take on a familiar sound. After such a long absence, it's appropriate that the title track that leads off the album provides a basic history of the band: "You said 'No'/We'll never make it together," and a bridge that repeats, "And the minute you get what you want you don't know what you want anymore" before slyly concluding, "I want to tell you/Stranger things have happened." The album also includes reworkings of "Spanish Style Guitar," "One Last Time" and "Funny Thing" from The Live Montauk Sessions at the request of the band's fans who were asked to suggest songs for the album. The mostly improvised "Elephants and Ants," which closes Stranger Things, builds from a light guitar motif to a cacophonous peak full of Brickell's vivid lyrics.

It's a fitting next chapter for a band still grappling with the turmoil of its past. "[Recording Shooting Rubberbands at the Stars] was a serious growing time for us," Withrow says. "We had songs that would go on for six to eight minutes, and for radio we were trying to get them down to three or four minutes." Plus, the timing of the recording sessions required that the band move on without drummer Brandon Aly who was having trouble keeping up in the studio. "It was amazing highs and amazing lows during that whole first record and everything," says percussionist John Bush. "It was hard keeping the band together and positive through it all."
After a couple years of virtually nonstop touring, Ghost of a Dog was hastily recorded and released. It had more depth both musically and lyrically but overall came across as melancholic. "I think we never got over losing Brandon," admits Brickell. "I felt just guilt-ridden. I mean, look at the lyrics of 'Forgiven' ["Will you please forgive me?/Give me another chance to show you I love"]...It's hard to make a record with a broken heart, but we did it because we just were sort of swept up in the river of a quick promotional effort. When we toured [for the album] I just stayed in my hotel room all the time and tried to solve 'the mysteries [of life]'--which of course you can't do sitting in a hotel room by yourself. I wasn't depressed, but I just missed Brandon. Experiencing the dream without him felt wrong." When the band officially broke up at the end of the tour it wasn't too much of a surprise.
Brickell went on to marry Simon, start a family and release two fine solo albums. Matt Chamberlain, who joined the New Bohemians when Aly left, went on to become one of the most successful modern pop drummers around, playing with the likes of David Bowie, Tori Amos, Fiona Apple and Pearl Jam. Percussionist John Bush plays with Foamy and the Small Stars and has recorded with the Spin Doctors and Davíd Garza. Withrow most recently toured with Everlast and now plays with BL Lacerta. Bassist/woodwind player Brad Houser plays in Critters Buggin' and with Aly in Zydeco Blanco.
Following this weekend's two-night homecoming at Club Dada (which will be recorded and filmed) and a free show in New York City's Central Park, the band plans a fall tour. What happens after that is still up in the air, but with all the effort and goodwill that is currently driving the band, more is to come. "The spirit of this record is truly joyful," Brickell says. "I think to have come full circle gives it a greater meaning. Everything has been righted, and there's an awareness of it--and that's a powerful combination."

New ENERGY STAR Monitor Specification
Beginning January 2005, computer monitors must meet more energy-efficient requirements to qualify for the ENERGY STAR label. For the first time, the specification addresses energy consumption while monitors are in use, as well as while they are idle. Many models on the market already meet EPA's new specifications. By 2010, EPA estimates that the new requirements will result in carbon emission savings of almost 5 million metric tonnes (carbon equivalent), or the equivalent of taking more than 3 million cars off the road. The previous computer monitor requirements called for only a "sleep mode" energy-saving function.

New Jerseyans don't outright love the Affordable Care Act but they don't hate it either.
As Obamacare's first enrollment period officially closed last month, New Jerseyans are split on their opinions of the Affordable Care Act, according to the latest Rutgers-Eagleton Poll released Thursday.
Some 26 percent of New Jersey residents say they fully support the ACA and 29 percent added that they somewhat support it, the poll found.
While 28 percent reported that they are strongly against the law, just 12 percent said they are somewhat opposed to it. For the ones against it, 24 percent of them believe the law "does not go far enough" in ensuring health care access for all, including 21 percent of independents and 14 percent of republicans. For the New Jerseyans that oppose the law, most of them (70 percent) they think it "goes too far" by involving the government in personal health care decisions.
"Polls examining support for Obamacare tend not to ask why opponents feel that way," poll director and Rutgers University professor David Redlawsk said. "When we do, we find that a substantial share of opponents want more, not less, from a government health care program. Only about 30 percent of all New Jersey residents actually object to the law because it goes too far, suggesting a strong base for the goals of Obamacare, even if for some the current law fails to reach those goals."
Supporters and opponents alike in New Jersey, however, aren't feeling it.
Most (71 percent) say the law hasn't made much of a difference, positively or negatively. Only 9 percent of New Jerseyans said the ACA has helped them so far and 17 percent say the law has been detrimental.
"Obamacare remains a polarizing law, even as most people say they've seen few effects from it so far," Redlawsk said. "Opposition is not tied to personal experience. Rather, it is clearly an ideological litmus test for many. Even though the law carries both benefits and costs, most New Jerseyans so far seem to think Obamacare has relatively little to do with them personally, even as they stake out a position on either side."
As for the March 31 Obamacare enrollment deadline, the poll found that most New Jerseyans (74 percent), including half of the ones strongly against the law, thought the deadline should have been extended to allow for more enrollment. Only 22 percent said the extension was unnecessary.
Views on the law are also heavily split along partisan lines with 84 percent of Democrats saying they support it to some degree and 79 percent of Republicans opposing it at some level.
For New Jersey residents who reported having no health insurance, the number has declined from 14 percent to 6 percent since January. Only 3 percent of the polls respondents said they utilized the online Health Care Exchange portal to buy insurance.
New Jersey also boasts a significant racial divide when it comes to supporting Obamacare. Nearly all black New Jerseyans are somewhat supportive of the law: 57 percent are strong supporters and 35 percent somewhat support it. In contrast, half of whites are against the act, with 35 percent of them strongly opposed. Only 19 percent strongly support it, while 27 percent are in-between.
"The widespread belief that the public does not want health care reform fails to account for the many opponents who are actually unhappy because Obamacare doesn't go far enough," said Redlawsk. "I suspect many supporters would also like to see more, but are willing to take what is available as a first step. Together, these two groups – opponents who want more and supporters of the current law – make up a broad-based majority of New Jersey residents."
Results are from a statewide poll conducted from March 31 to April 6 of 816 New Jersey adults with a margin of error of +/- 3.9 percentage points.

Comprising a number of small regions, Behala is one of the largest suburban areas in the city of Kolkata. Many industries, which were set up here, encouraged a flow of job seekers into the region in the 1980s. This started the development effort in the city. Today, many renowned schools, colleges, and hospitals like Vidyasagar Hospital, South Suburban Hospital, James Long clinic PVT LTD, and Vivekananda Hospital are situated here.
When it comes to commercial activity in the region, Diamond Harbour Road in Behala is a major commercial area. It is home to a large number of merchants who are involved in different kinds of trade.
Key Projects in Behala :
|Greenfield City
|Symphony Towers
|Ideal Regency
Connectivity and Transit Points
Behala is known for its good connectivity. The private and government buses in the area make accessible important cities like Howrah, BBD Bagh, Park Street, Sealdah, Kidderpore, and Bidhannagar. Some of the major bus terminals in the locality are situated at Thakurpukur, Sakher Bazar, Behala Tram Depot, Parnasree Pally, Barisha, and Silpara.
Trams used to be a popular mode of transport in the region. But now, with the metro project underway, the tram service has been stopped. Auto-rickshaws and taxis are now common, and are used by commuters on a regular basis. For the networks of alleys that are not accessible by any means of transport, cycle rickshaws are one's best bet.
The major rail transit point in Behala is Majherhat Railway Station, which is located 3.3 km from the city. This station can be used to board trains to other major areas around Behala. The upcoming metro network in the region will further improve connectivity here.
The airport serving Behala is Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport, which is about 25 kilometres from the heart of the city. It is one of the two major international airports operating in the state of West Bengal. The airport has both domestic and international flights.
Major Landmarks
â— State Archaeology Museum
â— Sabarna Roy Chowdhury Family houses
â— Sabarna Sangrahashala
â— Behala Flying Club
â— IIM Calcutta
Factors for Growth in the Past
Behala's growth can be attributed to the population explosion in the region during the 1980s. The sudden rise in population during that time had triggered massive development in the area. The development effort then, had opened up new opportunities for people around the region, and many began to migrate to Behala in search of jobs. Then, after it was announced that the metro service would extend to the city, the area's infrastructure received a jolt and the area grew in size and stature.
Residential & Commercial Market
Residential Market Trends
Apartments take up a sizeable chunk of the real estate market in Behala, followed by builder floors and houses. Apartments saw a gradual price hike this last year, increasing from Rs 3,300 per sq. ft. in Q2 2013 to Rs 3,700 per sq. ft. in Q2 2014.
Builder floor apartments in Behala also witnessed a rise in property value, from Rs 2,250 per sq. ft. in Q2 2011 to Rs 3,560 per sq. ft. in Q2 2014. Residential houses in Behala are being sold at around Rs 3,550 per sq. ft.
Commercial Market Trends
Commercial spaces in Behala, especially the Diamond Harbour road, can be taken on rent at an average rate of Rs 10-13 per sq. ft.
Major Challenges
Traffic is known to be very stressful in Behala, especially for someone travelling long distances in the area. Auto-rickshaws are known to increase the traffic woes during peak hours. Noise and air pollution are also high, because of construction work and traffic.
Factors for Growth in the Future
With the completion of the metro system in Behala, the region will see a rise in real estate prices and increased demand for the same. Many reputed builders like Bengal Greenfield Housing Development Company Ltd, Eastern Urban Development Pvt. Ltd., Merlin Projects, Swabhumi Group, and Orbit Group have ongoing projects in this region - enough proof of Behala's growing stature.

The polls will only tell you so much - the truth is in the verdict
John Downing's opinion piece in the Irish Independent (January 18) undoubtedly suggests that it comes from attending the FF Ard Fheis, and seeks to apply a slightly frustrated outsider's logic to the position Micheál Martin has presented for weeks now regarding the outcome of the election.
As a member of FF who attended the Ard Fheis (although I can see how, as an outsider, he might assume to have reached logical conclusions) John is, in fact, very far from understanding the position. I don't know whether he was in the main hall between 7 and 8pm, but if he was he might have a little better insight - as during that time we revisited our roots and the events of 1916 as told through the mouths of relatives of the leaders.
As Éamon Ó Cúiv put it, we must be the only nation on earth that commemorates failure, as 1916 was a hopeless failure at the time. It led to great things though, and where we find ourselves today is no further back and certainly in a much better place than in 1916.

Objective: to analyse 24 parkinsonian patients successfully treated by bilateral STN stimulation for the presence of behavioural disorders.
Method: patients were evaluated retrospectively for adjustment disorders (social adjustment scale, SAS), psychiatric disorders (comparison of the results of psychiatric interview and the mini international neuropsychiatric inventory) and personality changes (IOWA scale of personality changes).
Results: parkinsonian motor disability was improved by 69.5% and the levodopa equivalent daily dosage was reduced by 60.5%. Social adjustment (SAS) was considered good or excellent in nine patients, moderately (n=14), or severely (n=1) impaired in 15 patients. Psychiatric disorders consisted of amplification or decompensation of previously existing disorders that had sometimes passed unnoticed, such as depressive episodes (n=4), generalised anxiety (n=18), and behavioural disorders with drug dependence (n=2). Appearance of mild to moderate emotional hyperreactivity was reported in 15 patients. Personality traits (IOWA scale) were improved in eight patients, unchanged in seven, and aggravated in eight
Conclusion: Improvement in parkinsonian motor disability induced by STN stimulation is not necessarily accompanied by improvement in psychic function and quality of life. Attention is drawn to the possible appearance of personality disorders and decompensation of previous psychiatric disorders in parkinsonian patients who are suitable candidates for neurosurgery. We suggest that a careful psychological and psychiatric interview be performed before surgery, and emphasise the need for psychological follow up to ensure the best possible outcome.

Gerard Way: Umbrella Academy on the Big Screen
Preview: The Umbrella Academy: Dallas #1
Yesterday, we spoke with Gerard Way about the comic book version of The Umbrella Academy.
But comics aren't the only media exposure coming up. Since the property began its life at Dark Horse, The Umbrella Academy has caught the attention of Universal Studios and been fast-tracked as an up-and-coming comics to film adaptation. Scott Bernstein, who helped shepherd Hellboy from comics to screen is attached (which has Way thrilled), and as Way told Newsarama, the project is moving along very quickly. In fact, if you're reading this today (December 23rd), Way's having (or had, depending on your time zone) a meeting at Universal about the latest developments.
We'll let him explain:Newsarama: Since we spoke last, before the Dallas started, there's been a lot of buzz going on about an Umbrella Academy movie at Universal. How much do you keep up with that, and how involved are you with a movie version? Gerard Way: I think because maybe because I have been in "the business" for about eight years, even though it's a different facet of the business, and even from working in animation before that, I think because of that and the ideas I have and where the story is going, the studio has kept me extremely involved, and they made that clear from the get go. So that's been really nice – it hasn't been the situation where they optioned it, and they say, "See you at the premiere!" It's quite the opposite. I'm lucky though in that one of the people involved with the project is Scott Bernstein, who is one of the guys that made Hellboy happen, and he's one of the guys that got Mike Mignola with Guillermo del Toro, and as everybody in comics knows what kind of relationship that was, and how involved Mike was with the movies – he was on the set every day. So I have the benefit of having an individual at Universal who embraces that kind of thinking. That's what he wants for all of his projects – he wants the creator there for every step of the way. So I've been in there every week, and it has definitely been fast-tracked. There's a momentum with it right now – I have meetings up until Christmas, more or less. The 23rd is the last one, I think, so they're very involved and are trying to keep this momentum going even straight through the holidays. NRAMA: So where are things now? GW: Basically what I'm doing right now is meeting with a bunch of really amazing screenwriters, and there've been a lot of them that have never adapted something that really want to do this project. Everybody that I talk to that gets involved with this – it's that whole thing that you mentioned earlier – where readers and fans end up filling in the timeline. This book is purposely written that way to allow the reader to fill in the blanks, and thus make the reading experience that much more special. So these screenwriters have gotten the same way and are asking questions like, "What is the Jennifer Incident?" I'll tell them that I don't know, and they don't need to know, and that's the point. Then their brain will go off, and think "Maybe this was it…" And this is simply just for them to know in terms of back story – it's not something that we would even see in the movie, it's just something that they want to know. So sometimes, they will come to me with questions, and all I can tell them is to go find their own answers. But we're at the stage now where writers are pitching their take on it, and how they see it as a film. As someone who is a fan of comics, I know that this movie will be different than the comics. To me, the comics will always be what they are – I wrote them, they are what they are. I told the studio that I understood that they will want to make changes, and I will embrace those kinds of things, because they do what they do, and I do what I do, because I'm not writing the screenplay for this. Over Christmas break – because a lot of people will just write when the studios shut down for the holiday – a lot of scripts are going to be written, and when we reconvene in January, we'll see what the writers have done. After that, it's a matter of finding a director, but the studio wanted a screenplay first, which I think is a smart idea, because you want o make sure this works in film form before you move it to a director. A director with a lot of ideas might read Apocalypse Suite and just think, "there are a lot of ideas there," and just not know what to do with it. NRAMA: You've said you've accepted the idea that the movie will be the movie, but yet, this is still an ongoing concern for you, and as you've said, you're not even halfway through the story that you want to tell. Have you started down that path – that is, the day that the studio says, "This is the strongest version of The Umbrella Academy and it should be the one on screen" and it's something that, while it has your approval isn't quite what was in the comic, or completely your vision? Is that going to be a day along the lines of you raise your kids as best you can, but sooner or later, you have to send them off to school? GW: Yeah, it will be. And I've said that to them from the start – I've told them that there will come a point where I'm going to be more interested in what they're wearing, and that is going to be where you can really use me well, and when you can fly Gabriel up from Brazil so he can work on designing the hardware and the setting, and he can explain the intricacies of Spaceboy's gear. That's the stuff that's going to be ultimately way more interesting to me, and to me, that's way more exciting. But there is a point where I have to, as a writer, let the kids go to school, as you said. I will drive myself nuts if I try to be involved every step of the way. At the same time, when lock down a screenwriter, I want nothing more to be able to sit down with them and with Scott Allie and say, "Okay, you've got two guys with you who are total resources, so ask away and let's really break this film down." So I guess I'm involved in that part, but when the director comes in, it's out of my hands. It's somebody else's vision. It's like Guillermo doing Hellboy – you chose the people you chose because of their vision. If I was breathing down the neck of the director, it would just be a miserable experience for everybody. The studio knows that – there has to be a point where I detach myself. Not that I won't point out things like you can't have Rumor wearing white, but yeah, I'm okay with that. If I wrote a screenplay to direct myself, that's the only time where I would insiit until the end that my vision makes it to the screen. But as I've said, I wrote this story already, and I don't want to write it again. Related:

I had searched the web for Brax trousers and this company had the best selection and it was easy to compare all the styles. I ordered 2 pairs and the next day had a call explaining that I had forgotten about the January discount and they would reimburse the saving. I was very pleased and then went and ordered another pair of trousers. A very professional and efficient company and I will be ordering more clothes in the future.

She Plays With Her Cock on this site, but she also plays with other dicks. If you're into Latin shemales, then you're really going to appreciate the sizzling-hot action. From jerking their own cocks and using butt plugs to having threesomes, these tempting trannies will really get you playing with your privates.
Getting around ShePlaysWithHerCock is pretty easy. You can access all of the tranny smut from the top of the page once you get into the members' area. The main page gives you the latest updates and the most viewed. There are 165 scenes that are taken from 19 DVDs, such as "Fucking She-Males", "House Of She-Males" and "Monster Cock She-Male."
You can stream the flicks in a Flash player or save them as great-quality Windows Media files. Every video comes with a set of vid caps, but there are also 30 high-res photo sets. While the scenes include solo and hardcore action, the photos show you only one stunning tranny posing.
Each shemale I saw was either Latin or Asian and while some are more feminine looking than others, they're all packed with sex appeal. While some are skinny and tall, others sport feminine curves and soft bottoms. There wasn't much dialogue in the videos I watched, but the spoken words I did hear weren't in English.
If you like your shemales to outnumber your males, then you should head right to the third scene in "Monster Cock She-Male." Two exotic shemales play with a dude, slapping his face and making him gag on their thick, uncut rods. The best part was watching the guy getting his ass plowed from behind and banging the other tranny simultaneously.
The site was updating every week until about two months ago, so there might be a bit of a wait for new shemale smut, but they don't skimp on the bonuses, so those should tide you over. There are about 43 sites you can peruse from the Fame Digital mega-site. These include Tranny Pros, Shemale Idol and more straight hardcore sites.
Granted, the solo-tranny theme isn't maintained throughout the whole collection on She Plays With Her Cock, but the hardcore XXX is pretty erotic. It is too bad that they've slowed their updating, but there is definitely enough smut to keep you satisfied for a couple of months.

How to Make Awesome Beer Bread With Yeast!
Introduction: How to Make Awesome Beer Bread With Yeast!
A lot of beer bear is made with out yeast, which makes good bread, but it's crumbly and more cakie like.
Here is a recipe for beer bread with yeast, this makes a nice slightly sweet bread that can be used for sandwiches without breaking apart so easy.
Step 1: Ingredients
- 2 3/4 cups flour
- 4 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 package active dry yeast
- 1 cup beer
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 1/2 tablespoon honey
- 1 egg
- 9x5 Bread Pan
Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
Mix the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast in a large bowl till thoroughly mixed.
Flour can be all-purpose, or bread flour.
Step 3: Mix Beer and Other Ingredients.
Get a small sauce pan and warm the beer on the stove.
Mix beer, butter and honey on the stove (Do not boil, just get it warm to melt butter and mix well!)
Step 4: Mix Dry Ingredents With Warm Beer and Egg.
Crack the egg in with the dry ingredients, then while pouring warmed beer/butter/honey mixture in, stir till mixed and doughy.
It will get very thick!!
Step 5: After Throughly Mixed Let Raise!
After you mix everything together, let the doughy mix raise for 30 mins with a damp towel over the bowl.
Step 6: Kneed Dough on Floured Surface
After 30 mins of rising flour a non stick surface (I kneaded directly on our granite counter top)
Be sure to flour the surface with dry flour first.
Then kneed dough add extra flour if needed, dough should be the constancy of you earlobe!
Step 7: Prepare Bread Pan and Let Rise for 20 Mins Again.
After kneading your dough, grease your bread pan (I used PAM cooking spray) and place dough in pan, then let rise again for 20 mins with a damp towel over the top.
Also pre-heat your oven to 375 degrees F.
Step 8: Cook Bread!
After rising again for 20 mins, place pan on center rack in over and cook for 30-35 mins till top is golden brown.
Step 9:
After the the bread is golden brown on top take it out of the over, let it cool and EAT!
Yum beer bread!
Stone-ground wheat flour, hibiscus ale, and sage honey. The dough rose a bit less than I thought it would, which had me worried for a while; fortunately, while it's slightly heavy (likely due to the type of flour I used), it's otherwise fine.
A little sweeter than I prefer, though. I think I'll use less honey next time.
awesome bread - i even made it with partial whole wheat flour and that was just plain great.
Just made this, it was really good. Second loaf, I reduced the honey to 2 tablespoons and increased the flour to 3 cups. Resulting loaf was not noticeably different in taste or texture from the first, but rose a little higher.
Nice recipe, thanks for sharing!

What Is SEO Marketing Vs SEO Advertising
With all the marketing terminology today, how do we differentiate: What is SEO marketing vs SEO advertising. The former is is the process of boosting your website rank based on pertinent keywords. Marketers struggle to access the keywords that increase traffic to their website, because of the constant changes to search query and algorithms. Marketers are finding complexity in tying SEO with ROI. Some marketers still attempt to use SEO marketing, but the majority are trying to find new ways to generate traffic to drive leads.
Conversely, advertising, aka PPC marketing is another way of boosting website traffic. Marketers can create ads in sponsored areas of search engines. Marketers pay a fixed cost to search engines each time a buyer clicks on their paid ad. Paid search is considered an effective method for lead generation, but tends to diminish returns as you try and scale. Paid search optimization today will give you great opportunities for conversions and lead gen.
Both of these practices have an important place in modern marketing. Captora is a lead generation automation tool that helps marketers see opportunities with paid and organic search. Captora amplifies your top-of-funnel marketing efforts, reaching buyers that are anonymous to you and you to them. The software leverages your existing content ecosystem to develop content-rich and hyper-targeted campaigns to ensure high volumes of quality leads. In paid search campaigns, Captora optimizes CTAs, assets, and other content to assess which is driving the most conversions. Marketers can use SEO or advertising contingent on the results they want and their budget. Captora prides itself on having a unique and functional approach to both kinds of campaigns to ensure marketers reach their goals.

RED Hearts: Find Great Books!/
RED Hearts are guest posts on I Heart Daily from the authors of RED: Teenage girls in America write on what fires up their lives today. Today's RED Hearts post is from RED author Lisa Chau, 24 today (Happy Birthday, Lisa!), in NYC, who writes for the love of books:
I used to make my older sister drive me to the bookstore so I could buy the newest Harry Potter before it sold out. It took a lot of persuading and many promised back rubs. I would go home with a crazed grin on my face, plop on the couch, and read while telling myself, "Oh, I only have half the book left… I only have a few chapters… one more page!!!" until I finished, realizing that I had forgotten to eat any meals (true love can do this to you). Certainly there was no time in there for giving massages.
Of course, it now takes seconds to simply click and have reading material appear in front of your eyes. Everything is too easy these days (gosh, I sound so old!). As convenient as eBooks are, I want to hold on to buying physical books for as long as I can. Finding real books is way more magical than being able to access thousands with a tap. The experience of it all still matters to me.
Also, there are still tons of books written before my time that I'm dying to read, not just the new ones. And there's no way my wallet will ever be able to keep me in crispy new pages. Lucky for me, I like used books. The wear and tear of the cover, the funky smell of glue and paper, and surprises like finding a super cool Sauron bookmark in my copy of The Fellowship of the Ring fill my heart with that fuzzy feeling never conjured in cyberspace or megastores.
With Friends of the Library organizations across the country, you can buy used books for as little as 50 cents. Simply ask your local public library if they have a program (they probably do)! A few weeks ago I went to The Friends of the Ann Arbor District Library sale and found The Bluest Eye (classic), My Horizontal Life (the previous owner had underlined the word "fart" and nothing else), and a battered copy of A Clash of Kings (I know you're a Game of Thrones fan) for THREE DOLLARS!
Since Borders became an empty and lonely space on one of the busiest corners of downtown Ann Arbor, Dawn Treader has become my favorite bookstore to stroll into on a whim -- and it's independent. My BFFL Yelp can help you find an indie bookstore near you (that's the kind of easy clicking I approve of). If people don't continue to buy their books in stores, there won't be any bookstores in the near future, eBooks will take over, our kids won't know what books are, paper will become extinct, we'll forget how to write, and the world as we know it will never be the same. Too dramatic? I think not.
If you've got your arms full of unwanted books (do me a solid and NEVER do this), donate them! Used bookstores and Friends of the Library programs will gladly take them out of your hands and put them into the hands of those who do want them -- in a real-world act of Harry Potter-worthy magic.

Hey everyone, welcome to our weekly newsletter! Spring is finally in the air, so we thought it would be nice to show you a few of our lovely items of spring clothing. It can be awkward choosing the right coat to wear, as you can end up being either too cold or too hot; finding the middle ground so you feel just right is the name of the game at the moment, so I'd suggest giving our spring coat a go. Not too thick and not too thin, this is the perfect way to adapt to the changing weather. Combine this with a few other spring essentials like our fab harem pants, lovely green paisley top and foldable hippie backpack...and you're good to go!
