Though not particularly sturdy, the Joshua tree is a medium-sized spiny tree regarded for its perseverance in the dry and barren wilderness of Southwestern America. It's believed that the Mormons gave the tree its name because it reminded them of Joshua raising his hands to the heavens in the middle of the desert, leading the children of Israel to the Promised Land.
The tree is also the driving metaphor behind U2's landmark 1987 album of the same name, which has had profound and widespread impact over the last 20 years. Rolling Stone named The Joshua Tree No. 26 on their list of 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, while CCM magazine placed it at No. 6 on its Greatest Albums in Christian Music list. Christian artists ranging from Caedmon's Call and MercyMe to P.O.D. and Chris Tomlin have covered songs specifically from this album, and some believers have even used the music as the basis for a Catholic worship service. Selling in excess of 20 million copies, the album has clearly left its mark on mainstream and Christian culture alike.
It's been said that The Joshua Tree ?was a "tribute" to America, but ultimately it's an album about longing, perhaps most clearly illustrated in the quintessential anthem of unrequited love, "With or Without You." But most of the other songs resonate through deeper themes worded broadly enough for open interpretation, yet painted with biblical imagery throughout. U2's soaring classic "Where the Streets Have No Name" is understood by most as an image of heaven, a place of refuge for the weary to find love and take "shelter from the poison rain." The equally driving sound of "In God's Country" offers a similar illustration of faith and perseverance in the midst of dark times: "Set me alight/We'll punch a hole right through the night/Every day the dreamers die/To see what's on the other side." And the Irish rocker "Trip Through Your Wires" borrows heavily from the "love the least of these" text of
Easily one of the most misunderstood songs in U2's catalog is "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For," which some Christians have used as an example of rejection of faith: "I believe in the Kingdom Come/Then all the colors will bleed into one/But yes, I'm still running/You broke the bonds/You loosed the chains/You carried the cross and my shame/You know I believe it/But I still haven't found what I'm looking for." Far from being a song about lost or rejected faith, lead singer Bono and guitarist The Edge describe it as a "gospel hymn,"—a point driven home on the live album Rattle and Hum when the band performed it with a gospel choir. Think of it more as the longing for spiritual fulfillment in light of
These spiritual themes take on even greater meaning when considered alongside songs about drug addiction ("Running to Stand Still"), suicide ("Exit"), social injustice ("Mothers of the Disappeared"), unemployment ("Red Hill Mining Town"), and greed-fueled war ("Bullet the Blue Sky"). Suddenly
The Joshua Tree has also served as musical inspiration for countless bands and listeners, even today in unexpected ways—there's probably no greater influence on the sound of modern worship music than U2. This 20th anniversary remaster calls attention to the elements that have become a hallmark for this band, though it doesn't accentuate Bono's powerful vocals and Edge's pioneering "eternity" guitar delay technique as much as one would expect. But the overall mix is considerably less muddy, bringing much needed clarity to Larry Mullen's remarkable drumming and added low end to Adam Clayton's bass. The album was overdue for restoration, as are others in the U2 catalog.
Longtime fans my want to consider the deluxe edition of this release, which includes a bonus disc of b-sides and rarities. Some songs are familiar and raw ("Silver and Gold," "Spanish Eyes," the original demo if "Sweetest Thing"), some of them are less familiar and really raw (the Sun City version of "Silver and Gold," "Rise Up," "Desert of Our Love")—be aware that there's an edited profanity in the short, angry rant "Drunk Chicken/America." A box set version is also available, adding a DVD featuring U2's 1987 concert in Paris and a 40-minute documentary.
The Joshua Tree still sounds timely after all these years, which could explain why its sound has been mimicked over the years, or else proof that U2 was truly ahead of their time. And perhaps it also goes to show our continued need for soul-searing anthems to carry us through the desert times and lead us back to still waters.

First, I enjoyed "Astro Boy." I wasn't a fan of the TV series, but the new animated adventure has made me a believer! (Read my "Astro Boy" movie review right here)
So I was so happy to be invited by Summit Entertainment for their press day for the film. I spoke with Freddie Highmore (he voices Toby and Astro Boy) and Eugene Levy (he lends his voice for Orrin, the robot servant).
Take a look at my fun interviews with the actors:
We talked about:
*** His involvement with the project
*** The issues that the film touched upon
*** What's coming up in his future
*** The moral of the story
We talked about:
*** Why he chose to work on ASTRO BOY
*** His character
*** Acting vs. Voice work
*** Moral of the story
More info about the film from Yahoo:
Set in futuristic Metro City, Astro Boy is a young robot with incredible powers created by a brilliant scientist named Dr. Tenma. Powered by positive "blue" energy, Astro Boy is endowed with super strength, x-ray vision, unbelievable speed and the ability to fly. Embarking on a journey in search of acceptance, Astro Boy encounters many other colorful characters along the way.

Adam Shankman and Bill Mechanic are set to produce the 82nd Academy Awards! They replace last year's ringleaders, Bill Condon and Laurence Mark.
No, Condon and Mark weren't fired, the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences' board of directors had asked the duo but the pair didn't commit.
Once upon a time, Shankman performed on one of the Oscar nights as a dancer, but now, the director of "Bedtime Stories" and "Hairspray" will return as a producer.
Shankman and Mechanic will be busy developing the Oscarcast. I wonder who they will pick as the host.
Shankman is one busy dude! Besides being one of the main judges on the TV show "So You Think You Can Dance," he is also getting ready to adapt the Broadway musical "Rock of Ages."
The film will begin production by next summer and be released by Warner Bros. in 2011. I wonder if "American Idol" alum, Constantin Maroulis, will be bringing his role to the big screen. The singer was nominated for a Tony for Leading Actor in a Musical for his role in "Rock of Ages."
Shankman is also developing a film version of "Bye Bye Birdie." I told 'ya, this Shankman is one busy dude!

Angelina Jolie is in talks with Ridley Scott to star as Patrizia Gucci in the director's drama "Gucci" about murder and mayhem in the Gucci fashion dynasty.
Patrizia was sentenced to 29 years in jail for plotting the murder of her ex, Maurizio Gucci.
Fox 2000 is producing and the studio is planning a 2010 production date.
Variety tells us that Fox 2000 is "about to hire a scribe to rewrite the drama that recaptures the glamorous days of the Gucci family dynasty in the 1970s and 80s, when the family was selling $500 million in product annually. Squabbles hobbled the clan until Maurizio, the grandson of founder Guccio Gucci, came out on top of a power struggle to run the family business. Just when he was about to reestablish the brand name by debuting a line designed by newcomer--and now film director--Tom Ford, Maurizio was gunned down in front of his Milan apartment in 1995."
Right now, the script is being developed and Scott is still looking for an actor to play Maurizio. Leonardo DiCaprio has been approached but he's not attached with the project yet.
Fox 2000 is also developing another film for Jolie. The studio wants the actress to star as medical examiner Dr. Kay Scarpetta based on the Patricia Cornwell novels.

The Japanese pop culture icon Astro Boy made a leap onto American soil in 1963 in a black and white television series. Based on Osamu Tezukas legendary manga (Japanese comic book), Astro Boy garnered a devoted U.S. following, becoming another hit 1980 television series, and then again in a TV show that debuted in 2003.
I was never a fan of the Astro Boy series and its many incarnations. But I can tell you right now, the new animated adventure Astro Boy has made a believer out of me. Read More...

Can I use a 1st gen ipad as a monitor for a mac mini?
- Asked by Ronald S from Tuscaloosa
1 Answer from the Community
Whilst you cannot connect your iPad directly into your Mac Mini as you would a standard monitor, you can use Apps from the iOS store to remote access your Mac Mini and use your iPad to control your computer.
There are a number of Apps that do this ranging in price. One is Splashtop Remote, you can see a tutorial on how to do this with your Mac Mini via a search online (I cannot paste a url here, but it is on techradar).
Basically this App and the software for your Mac work to give you Remote Access of your computer. You can find a number of Apps by searching for "remote access" in the iOS App store.
There are also apps that turn your iPad into a second Monitor for your computer. These include DisplayPad and Air Display, again a search in the iOS App store will show a wide range of apps to try.

GorefestThe Eindhoven Insanity (1993)
Текст песни с переводом слов Gorefest «The Glorious Dead» из альбома «The Eindhoven Insanity» (1993).
The Glorious Dead
Blood on your hands as you put them
Near the hole in your chest.
Where the bullet struck and threw you
Flat into the mud.
"Come on lads" the bastards soon will be defeated
God is on our side was what you heard
When all went black
For god and the country we raise our heads
All real heroes die the glorious dead
From this point of view it all looks very different
As you cough up blood and an intense cold
Runs up your spine
No one ever told you that it could be like this
Dehumanised, no respect for life, you want to cry
For god and the country we raise our heads
Or ideals that weren't yours the glorious dead
Misguidence was your undoing
Death stares you in the face
Gorefest - все тексты песен исполнителя (группы).


text: ISU rebounded a UNI miss with less than a minute in the game and pushed the ball to Dendy who got the ball inside the 3pt line close to the baseline by the ISU bench. He catches the ball, puts up an airball I believe and UNI goes down and hits a transition 3 to take a 2 point lead. Why? We had a 1 point lead with less than a minute to go. Why in the hell would you shoot a jump shot without running clock? I believe he should have either a) passed the ball to a better handler to get fouled or b) if you're gonna try to put points on the board take the ball to the rim and get fouled and possibly have a chance for the and one 3 point play. But hey, we only shot 5 free throws the entire game and I think 4 of those took place in the last 3 minutes of the game. Terrible, just absolutely terrible basketball IQ from this team and coaching staff last night.

July 20, 1894: The German Military Attache in Paris, Colonel Maximillien von Schwarzkoppen received a visit from a seedy-looking middle-aged Frenchman who would not give his name. He told Schwarzkoppen that he was a French army officer serving on the General Staff; that he was in desperate need of money; and was therefore prepared to sell military secrets to the Germans.
Captain Alfred Dreyfus, then aged 35, was a high-flying career artillery officer. Shy, reserved, sometimes awkward, but intelligent and ambitious, Dreyfus had everything he might have hoped for: a wife, two enchanting children, plenty of money, and a post on the General Staff. However, Dreyfus' rise in the army had not made him friends. Many of them came from the impoverished Catholic aristocracy and disliked Dreyfus because he was rich, bourgeois and, above all, a Jew.
On October 13, Captain Dreyfus was summoned by the General de Boisdeffre to the Ministry of War. Despite minimal evidence against him he was placed under arrest for the crime of high treason. Not long afterward Dreyfus was incarcerated on Devil's Island.
But how did an innocent man come to be convicted? And why was he kept locked up for so long?
The Dreyfus Affair uniquely combines a fast-moving mystery story with a snapshot of France at a moment of great social flux and cultural richness - the Belle Epoque, the Impressionists, novelists such as Flaubert, Zola, the Goncourts, Proust. It is a key to an understanding of later history; the Holocaust and Zionism: the virulent anti-Semitism of the anti-Dreyfusards and the decision that the Jews must have a state of their own.

Heart-pounding This is Gross s best work yet, with his heart and soul imprinted on every page. Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
Poland. 1944. Alfred Mendl and his family are brought on a crowded train to a Nazi concentration camp after being caught trying to flee Paris with forged papers. His family is torn away from him on arrival, his life s work burned before his eyes. To the guards, he is just another prisoner, but in fact Mendl a renowned physicist holds knowledge that only two people in the world possess. And the other is already at work for the Nazi war machine.
Four thousand miles away, in Washington, DC, Intelligence lieutenant Nathan Blum routinely decodes messages from occupied Poland. Having escaped the Krakow ghetto as a teenager after the Nazis executed his family, Nathan longs to do more for his new country in the war. But never did he expect the proposal he receives from Wild Bill Donovan, head of the OSS: to sneak into the most guarded place on earth, a living hell, on a mission to find and escape with one man, the one man the Allies believe can ensure them victory in the war.
Bursting with compelling characters and tense story lines, this historical thriller from New York Times bestseller Andrew Gross is a deeply affecting, unputdownable series of twists and turns through a landscape at times horrifyingly familiar but still completely new and compelling."

Bestseller Gross (Everything to Lose) revisits the horrors of Auschwitz in this harrowing, thematically rich thriller, which marks a significant departure from his previous contemporary suspense novels. In the spring of 1944, both the Germans and the Allies are pressing toward the transmutation of uranium into atomic weaponry that could win WWII. Gross postulates that the U.S. Manhattan Project, headed by Robert Oppenheimer and joined by renowned refugee physicists like Denmark's Niels Bohr, lacked one vital component—but the Nazis have incarcerated the world expert in that area, Dr. Alfred Mendl, in Auschwitz. William "Wild Bill" Donovan, the head of the OSS, backs a near-suicidal plan to send a desk-bound Jewish intelligence officer, Nathan Blum, who escaped from Nazi-overrun Poland, into Auschwitz to rescue Mendl. Alternating between scenes of American hope-against-hope optimism and Nazi brutality, Blum's deadly odyssey into and out of this 20th-century hell drives toward a compelling celebration of the human will to survive, remember, and overcome.

IN BRIEF: The second half of the longest season in GRC Lites history kicks off on a brand new course at RFK Stadium in Washington DC. Five drivers have taken victories in the first six rounds of the season, meaning nearly half the field could walk out of this weekend's event with the championship lead.
Wednesday, August 19, 4:30PM ET on NBCSN
NBC Sports Group will be offering live streaming of the Global Rallycross Washington DC race through the NBC Sports Live Extra app via desktop, mobile and tablet.
MANILA, August 14, 2015 – The stage is set for another year of bringing Kia's popular line of vehicles closer to the public!
The much-anticipated Kia On Tour program is a year-long, nationwide event that has proven to be an effective way for the public to enjoy Kia's different driving experience first-hand.
Nelson Piquet Jr. earned the first victory of his Red Bull Global Rallycross career in Saturday's Red Bull GRC Washington DC presented by Volkswagen. After finishing runner-up to Patrik Sandell in last year's inaugural race in DC, Piquet turned the tables by holding off Sandell from start to finish in this season's final.
"Thanks to my team—they've been making the car quicker and quicker every race, and we've just been getting more and more competitive," Piquet said after Saturday's main event. "Patrik kept it clean the whole race, and I think that was a bit of a thank you from last year, when we were battling together, he finished first and I finished second. All of our sponsors have been supporting us for such a long time, and they deserved a win. Hopefully this is just the first one!"
"It's a great event to be here in DC this weekend," said Clark Campbell, motorsports general manager, Volkswagen of America. "We thought this track was really a racy track, and the cars looked cool out there bouncing around the rough sections. We think coming back to the same location two years in a row has been really helpful for the series, and we hope to continue to grow some momentum in the markets we come back to."
IN BRIEF: Alex Keyes rebounded from a disappointing home race weekend in Detroit to win his second GRC Lites race of the season in Washington DC. As he did at MCAS New River during his first win, he held off a hard-charging Oliver Eriksson of Olsbergs MSE for the victory; Keyes' Dreyer & Reinbold Racing teammate Miles Maroney placed third to grab the Supercar points lead.

Law of the sea dispute over Sellafield
In the dispute between Ireland and the UK concerning radioactive discharges into the Irish Sea, the arbitral tribunal established under the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) has suspended proceedings until the end of the year until possible competence issues under EU law are resolved. Its decision underlines the enormous complexities of overlapping boundaries between international and EU law jurisdictions where marine issues are concerned.

A group of regional, national, and global climate change experts has convened on campus at the University of San Diego, where they will be meeting through today (March 28) to discuss the expected impact on San Diego in the coming decades due to rising sea levels and increased risk of drought and wildfire.
"Building Climate Resilience in Cities," a two day affair kicked off yesterday, was organized by nonprofit environmental business outreach group Ceres and ClimateWise, a UK-based group offering risk analysis to insurance companies on climate change.
The meetings follow the recent release of a report from the San Diego Foundation, "San Diego's Changing Climate: A Regional Wake-Up Call," which examines in detail ongoing changes and future expectations for the region.
"Whether it's the East Coast or the West Coast, accelerating actions to protect our cities and our economies from stronger storms, rising sea levels and other climate impacts is an imperative," says Ceres president Mindy Lubber, whose group is also organizing a similar workshop later this spring in Toronto.

Banishing Kilkenny to Thurles for replay is a disgrace
The Dubs would never be banished to the provinces for an All-Ireland semi-final. Why should the greatest team in the history of Irish sport (Kilkenny, if anyone is doubtful on this score) have to put their title on the line in Thurles? If they go out of the All-Ireland championship - and the brilliant young Waterford players certainly deserved to beat them on Sunday - they surely deserve to go out in the only stadium in Ireland worthy of their greatness.
Admittedly, I am an English blow-in, but I begin to think that I shall never understand the Irish. I turned to RTÉ on Saturday evening to watch Mayo against Tyrone and Donegal against Dublin, only to find that these matches were not on live Irish television. RTÉ has greater aspirations than to promote Irish sport, indeed sport unique to Ireland. RTÉ commentators had all decamped to Rio to watch beach volley ball and synchronised diving.
On Sunday afternoon, we watched one of the greatest matches ever played in Croke Park between the amateurs of Kilkenny and Waterford. I'm up there with Marty Morrissey, whose superlatives fell short of what we were watching. At the end of the match I was in tears at what Waterford had achieved and the disappointment they must have felt, and I urge the Waterford selectors to continue to show faith in their young players such as Colin Dunford (Colligan) and Shane Bennett (Ballysaggart). These are the players, like the great Richie Power of Carrickshock, to score the goals that will finally ensure victory.

The Surprising French Employment Performance: What Lessons?
Although widely regarded as a textbook case of a rigid economy, in the late 1990s France was able to increase employment by 10 per cent within five years and to cut down unemployment by more than a fourth. This paper investigates what factors may account for this surprising performance. The evidence suggests a significant shift in the demand for labour, that can be partially ascribed to cuts in social security contributions introduced in the 1990s and to the later move to a 35 hours work week. Although a large proportion of companies reported difficulties in hiring, the sharp reduction in unemployment did not result in significant wage pressure. Nevertheless, new measures aiming at fostering labour supply were introduced in the early 2000s. The emphasis on stimulating labour demand that characterised French labour market policies in the 1990s was more successful than expected by observers. This lends support to the advocates of active labour market policies. However, the budgetary cost of this approach has also been high. Whether this strategy is sustainable in the medium run is likely to become increasingly an issue.

A bottle of wine is the perfect item to bring to a dinner party, to a birthday, or simply to buy when organizing a stay-at-home dinner date. Unfortunately, the huge variety of brands, types and flavors can be confusing. There are a lot of factors that should influence your choice in wine and while personal taste is important, it is not the only factor that should be considered.
As far as tips for purchasing wine go, potential buyers must first determine how they will be drinking it. In some situations, it may be appropriate to buy a wine blend, while others may call for a vintage bottle. Typically, different types of wine pair up with different flavored foods and desserts.
Follow the wine buyer's golden rules and you can't go wrong
The secret to buying the perfect bottle of wine is research. Different types of wine can be paired with different types of food, and considering the fact that a poorly chosen beverage can ruin the taste of a meal, you should always pay attention to what you're purchasing.
White wine goes great with:
- Spicy food;
- Salty food;
- Sweet sauces and dessert, as long as they're not as sweet as the beverage;
Red wine is normally served with:
- Red meat;
- Fatty foods;
- Some hard cheeses
- Cured meat;
Remember to also read the label before making a purchase. Most companies include a list of foods that their product can be paired with.
After deciding what kind of wine you want to buy, be careful where you buy it from. If the bottles are not stored at a certain temperature, then the wine might spoil. As a rule of thumb, the maximum temperature for a storage space should be 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Remember that spoiled wine can cause serious digestive problems and should never be consumed.

Trend Micro Showcases Comprehensive Security Solution for Amazon Web Services at re:Invent 2013
Innovative offering simplifies cloud security as a part of the AWS shared security model
Nov 12, 2013, 10:22 ET from Trend Micro Incorporated
DALLAS and LAS VEGAS, Nov. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- At AWS re:Invent 2013, Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704) is showcasing a comprehensive, automated security solution for deployments on Amazon Web Services (AWS). Including key security capabilities such as anti-malware, firewall, intrusion prevention, encryption, and application scanning, this optimized solution empowers organizations to address their responsibilities under the AWS shared security model and keeps corporate applications and data safe. In addition, its first-of-its-kind licensing model is aligned to the way organizations purchase AWS instances, revolutionizing how security is purchased for cloud services.
Ranked number one1 in cloud security, the solution is powered by the Trend Micro™ Deep Security platform, which secures cloud instances, Web applications and sensitive enterprise data. Unlike traditional offerings with a singular focus on capabilities like anti-malware, the Deep Security platform is full-featured and easily deployed based on each customer's needs. As an AWS Advanced Technology Partner, Trend Micro is also the only security provider leveraging the new AWS Test Drive Program, equipping customers to evaluate a broad range of security capabilities for their deployment—in minutes and at no charge.
"We were required to obtain PCI-DSS certification, in a short time, due to a requirement of one of our biggest customers," said Renato Giuliana, cloud project manager, Vayon, an insurance solutions provider. "We chose Trend Micro™ SecureCloud™ service and Deep Security because, with these solutions, we have been able to meet various requirements of the PCI-DSS in a modular, fully integrated way. Other major differentiators we found were the fast implementation of the project and the affordable cost."
AWS's shared responsibility security model establishes distinct roles to protect deployments. While AWS is responsible for infrastructure security, end-users are obligated to protect the operating system and beyond. Trend Micro's solution encompasses a variety of capabilities to ensure deployments remain secure on AWS:
Operating systems
Deployed as a service or on premise, Deep Security protects and secures physical and virtual servers, and public and private cloud deployments. It matches the elasticity and flexibility of AWS with the full support of leading operating systems and is optimized for autoscaling using action-based metadata.
Web applications
Application vulnerability scanning with expert false positive removal combined with Web reputation management provides a holistic view of application security for any Web app.
Sophisticated encryption and key management capabilities have been optimized for the AWS environment to seamlessly protect data across private and public cloud deployments. Trend Micro also offers a groundbreaking approach to protecting data in transit with unlimited SSL certificates, empowering customers to deploy the right security without concerns over extra costs.
Trend Micro is the only security provider that allows organizations to align the purchase of their security solution with the way they purchase cloud services on AWS. Organizations can purchase security in two ways: in advance, similar to purchasing a reserved instance; or pay-as-you go, comparable to an on-demand instance, which bills only for the security used at a fraction of what customers pay AWS.
At re:Invent 2013, Trend Micro and customer cloud security experts will be on hand at booth 607 for demos, and discussions about security's role in the overall cloud strategy of global companies. Thought leaders will also speak at multiple sessions and boot camps, including:
- "Securing Your AWS Deployment: Expert Advice & Stories from the Trenches," featuring JD Sherry, Trend Micro's VP, technology and solutions. This session will highlight considerations for implementing comprehensive security for AWS. (SEC309 Wed., Nov. 13, 1:30 p.m. - 2:30 p.m.)
- "How to Meet Strict Security & Compliance Requirements in the Cloud" featuring JD Sherry, Trend Micro's VP, technology and solutions, who will discuss the shared security model and best practices for deployment and compliance. (SEC208 Wed., Nov. 13, 4:15 p.m. - 5:15 p.m.)
- Mark Nunnikhoven, Trend Micro's principal engineer of cloud & emerging technologies, will detail how the company leveraged AWS to develop its own cloud-based offering, Deep Security as a Service. (SEC307 Thurs., Nov. 14, 11 a.m. - 12 p.m.)
- A hands-on full day boot camp on Tues., Nov. 12, "Architecting Highly Secure Applications on AWS" will utilize real world scenarios and hands-on instruction to demonstrate how to design and operate secure applications within AWS.
"We are excited to be a part of the AWS ecosystem and firmly believe that Trend Micro's cloud security offering is second to none," said Nunnikhoven. "Our team has put together a comprehensive approach to help you meet your security responsibilities in the AWS cloud. We've made it simple to deploy security that fits your business needs by developing context awareness within our products – helping you automate security by making it more reliable, allowing you to focus on the business at hand."

Our "Casa DiModa Italiano Menswear" expert explains all there is to know about types of dress shirts collars and different types of cuffs
Button down collar
The button down collar, originating in the US, is basically a long, wide turn down collar with buttons at the collar tips, which give your dress shirt a less formal look. The button down collar is also known as the "Roll collar" and the "soft-roll collar."
Point collar
This is the most common dress shirt collar today. Sometimes it is also referred to as "straight-point collar". This turndown collar consists essentially of a wide neck and relatively long points that extend downward to form a triangular opening at the neck, making room for showcasing the knot of your necktie. If you have a short neck, use a shorter collar to make your neck appear longer, and longer collars if you have a long neck.
Pin collar
This type of collar is more popular in the US than in Europe. It features a pin that holds the collar points close to the knot of the necktie. This is an elegant, which lifts the tie knot nicely.
Cutaway collar
This type of collar has the points pushed as far apart as possible, thus leaving a wide gap at the neck of the shirt, ideal for wide necktie knots. This type of collar is also called the "wide spread collar," and is considered more elegant than the turndown collar.
Tab collar
The tab collar is popular mainly in the US. It has a button or a snap that extends from the collar's two wings. The tab collar lifts the tie knot nicely.
Wing Collar
The tips of this collar are folded down into small triangles at the center of the collar, thus making the shirt ideal for wearing a bow tie. This type of collar should only be worn with a tuxedo. This collar is also called the "wing-tip collar,"
Detachable collar
Detachable collars can be attached to and removed from collarless dress shirts. This is a very old-fashioned type of collar that is virtually nonexistent today.
Cuffs: Barrel & French
Barrel cuffs, also called button cuffs, close with a button. French cuffs are longer, fold up, and require cufflinks instead of a button. Dress shirts with both type of cuffs are considered professional attire, but a French cuff dress shirt will be more elegant.

You've heard of Amazon's plan to deliver packages using drones; now a new company called Starship is promising to disrupt local delivery with the launch of a self-driving robot that can deliver groceries to customers' doors in under 30 minutes for less than £1.
The Starship robot has been developed by Skype co-founders Ahti Heinla and Janus Friis. It drives on pavements at an average speed of 4mph, and uses proprietary mapping and navigation technology to avoid crashing into obstacles, (check out the video we made).
Starship is currently testing and demonstrating prototypes of the robot, and plans to launch pilot services in the UK in 2016. Mr Heinla said the robots are primarily intended for use in suburban areas. One of the first pilot areas will be Greenwich in East London.
Each robot can carry the equivalent of two grocery bags (20lbs). They will operate out of hubs – shipping containers that are specially built or co-located within grocery stores or warehouses. The robots will return to their hubs between deliveries to recharge and be cleaned if necessary.

Excessive alcohol use is a significant problem in rural and remote Australia. The factors contributing to patterns of alcohol use have not been adequately explained, yet the geographic variation in rates suggests a potential contribution of district-level factors, such as socio-economic disadvantage, rates of population change, environmental adversity, and remoteness from services/population centres. This paper aims to investigate individual-level and district-level predictors of alcohol use in a sample of rural adults.
Using baseline survey data (N=1,981) from the population-based Australian Rural Mental Health Study of community dwelling residents randomly selected from the Australia electoral roll, hierarchal logistic regression models were fitted for three outcomes: 1) at-risk alcohol use, indicated by Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test scores ≥8; 2) high alcohol consumption (> 40 drinks per month); and 3) lifetime consequences of alcohol use. Predictor variables included demographic factors, pre-dispositional factors, recent difficulties and support, mental health, rural exposure and district-level contextual factors.
Gender, age, marital status, and personality made the largest contribution to at-risk alcohol use. Five or more adverse life events in the past 12 months were also independently associated with at-risk alcohol use (Adjusted Odds Ratio [AOR] 3.3, 99%CI 1.2, 8.9). When these individual-level factors were controlled for, at-risk alcohol use was associated with having spent a lower proportion of time living in a rural district (AOR 1.7, 99%CI 1.3, 2.9). Higher alcohol consumption per month was associated with higher district-level socio-economic ranking, indicating less disadvantage (AOR 1.2, 99%CI 1.02, 1.4). Rural exposure and district-level contextual factors were not significantly associated with lifetime consequences of alcohol use.
Although recent attention has been directed towards the potential adverse health effects of district or community level adversity across rural regions, our study found relatively few district-level factors contributing to at-risk alcohol consumption after controlling for individual-level factors. Population-based prevention strategies may be most beneficial in rural areas with a higher socio-economic ranking, while individual attention should be focused towards rural residents with multiple recent adverse life events, and people who have spent less time residing in a rural area.

text: Hello to all of you crazy people like me! I agree with everyone that says it's great to find a place to discuss such an unusual topic! I am actually a preschool teacher that works from my home. So basically my family and I live in a preschool! I have been keeping salt water tanks for, I'm afraid to say, over 30 years! (Scary thought!) Anyway, I feel it is very important to teach our children about how amazing and important the ocean is, so I have a 125 reef tank and a 30 gallon seahorse tank. A couple of years ago my class started asking about octopuses so I set up a 40 gallon "octopus tank". Our first octopus was only a couple of inches long. It had so many places to hide that I interact with it much until it grew a bit! It started interacting with me and was doing great until I found it dead half inside a toy I had made for it. :( We had gone on vacation and I had someone taking care of the animals. They were experienced, so I am not sure what happened. We now just got our second octopus a few days ago and I am wanting more of a support group to help with new ideas and knowledge. This one came from Pete's Fish Place. Not sure if anyone has dealt with them, but he was great on the phone and sent me an awsome 8 inch long octopus! It's probably the common octo v, but it seems to have extra long stringy arms and is much more outgoing than the other little guy was. This morning it came out and climbed onto my hand to explore. I tried to give it a toy, but it only held it for a second and dropped it. Then it crawled back into its den. My main concern right now is how to interact with it. I don't want to overdo it, but I feel like I should at least check to make sure it's still alive once a day? Or is this bad? The last one was so small it didn't matter! I appreciate any information you might be able to share. Lastly, I have had trouble getting a good picture of it, but I will try and upload something later today. Just in case anyone is interested, I could put a couple of pics up of kids with it... when they saw it in bag, etc... am excited at the idea of them getting to see it up close and interacting with toys, etc in the future!! The kids are sooo excited about this one because it is so much begger than the last one! Thanks and sorry if I rambled! Look forward to hearing from you!

I recently installed Secunia PSI on my Windows7/64bit. Installation went well. The program tried starting but holds on the starting creen (indicating that it is loading the program) but after a while shows a message that a script at this page is causing a browser delay...
So I closed and restarted the program
I uninstalled and reinstalled the program
I browsed through several similar threads and followed the instructions such as activating active scripting, put Secunia to the trusted web sites, used a link to upgrade my version to the latest Version which was provided at one thread; but with no results.
I made a Screen shot but I don't see how to load it into this thread.
I have McAffeee but verified that it's Firewall accepts secunia.
Thanks for help!

text: How many of you are using staight glyphosate for weed control and how many are spiking it with diquat? I've always just used straight gly for general weed control but last year I signed on a new nutty customer who was obsessed with weeds and I started adding diquat to speed things up and keep them happy until things were under control and I've just kept using it. Now I'm noticing that I don't seem to get as good control on some of the more stubborn weeds and when they burnout fast they remain upright and bright tan color and need to be pulled. Whereas with just gly smaller weeds wilt/shrivel and they sort of disappear into the mulch without having to deal with them again. So I'm switching back to straight gly. Anyone else doing the same?

Now, pay to promote your friends' Facebook posts
Facebook has announced that users can now pay to promote a friend's status update and ensure it's widely viewed.
Washington: If you really like a friend's Facebook post, you would be asked to shell out some cash to ensure it gets seen by others on the social networking site.
Facebook has announced that users can now pay to promote a friend's status update and ensure it's widely viewed.
The move comes as Facebook is expanding its Promoted Post feature, which was launched in October, the Huffington Post reports.
Previously, individuals could only pay to promote their own posts and guarantee they'd be seen by over 16 percent of their friends, which is the average reach for a Facebook status update).
According to the report, sponsoring a friend's post guarantees it will appear in a higher percentage of his or her friends' News Feeds.
Facebook ensured that the new tool will 'respect the privacy of the original poster -- i.e. it will promote to everyone who originally saw it.'
However, users needn't receive their friend's permission before pushing his or her post to more people, and individuals will be notified only after the promotion has been purchased, the report said.
