Hope Cymerman and Jeff Hepinstall don't call themselves expert gardeners, but in one growing season, they raised enough produce to feed 130 guests at their wedding last fall.
Buoyed by their success, they've expanded their garden for the 2009 season and recruited four other couples to help tend their land.
They hope that everyone involved will be able to fill their freezers with enough fresh veggies to get them through until next spring, Cymerman said.
"We don't know a lot about what we're doing, but everyone involved has spent some time volunteering or working with the local (community-supported) farms around Athens. Everyone brings different skills or pieces of knowledge," she said.
The Athens couple aren't alone in their ambition to produce more of what they eat.
People looking to save on the grocery bill or reassure themselves about recent concerns over food safety have spurred a gardening boom. The trend has hit even the White House, where Michelle Obama recently planted a vegetable garden on the White House lawn.
Call it a "kitchen garden," a "recession garden" or a "victory garden" - uncertain times seem to have spurred a need to have a supply of food close at hand.
About 20 percent more Americans will plant vegetable gardens this year over last year, according to the National Gardening Association, which based projections on seed sales and telephone surveys, according to spokesman Charlie Nardozzi.
"This is the time of year when we get the most calls, but we definitely have been getting more this year," said Amanda Tedrow, an Athens-Clarke cooperative extension agent. "There's a lot more people calling about vegetable gardens this year, people who've never grown vegetables before."
Tedrow has gotten so many calls about vegetable gardens, she has planned a pair of early April workshops on the subject.
The inquisitive callers haven't said so directly, but Tedrow expects they are trying to reduce their grocery bills this summer by growing their own. The average vegetable gardener puts about $70 into a garden plot and yields about $600 in produce over the course of one season, Nardozzi said.
But reducing the cost of food is only part of what is driving more people to till back lawns into garden plots, said Catarina Passidomo, a University of Georgia anthropology graduate student researching the way food is distributed.
"They're concerned with the price of food, but also the safety of their food," Passidomo said. "That's become a concern recently with the salmonella outbreaks. And I think an increasingly large number of people are thinking that growing food locally makes more sense."
Passidomo and her neighbors in the Chicopee-Dudley neighborhood are working to start a community garden in Dudley Park to provide vegetables for people in the community and spur interest in growing food. Their project may not get off the ground until next year, but the impact it will have - both in terms of produce and as a symbol of the potential of local produce - will be worth the wait, she said.
Similar community gardens are planned for downtown Commerce and in Athens' Boulevard neighborhood.
• For more information about the Athens-Clarke Cooperative Extension Service's upcoming vegetable gardening workshops call Tedrow at (706) 613-3640.

Estela Bravo's new documentary, ''Fidel,'' poses an apparently straightforward question. Is its subject, Fidel Castro, who has ruled Cuba since 1959, ''a demon or a symbol of resistance and social justice''? But the phrasing of the question gives away the answer: this is an exercise not in biography but in hero worship.
Ms. Bravo has done some impressive research, unearthing archival photographs and film of Mr. Castro and interviewing many of his friends and comrades, but to call her presentation of the man and his revolution one-sided would be an understatement. ''Fidel'' resembles nothing so much as the work of a second-rate Renaissance court painter devoted to the flattery of the subject rather than the accuracy of the portrait.
At one point, the American novelist Alice Walker, with sublime soft-headedness, marvels that Mr. Castro cannot dance or sing. ''It's a good thing he's got all those other good qualities,'' she says. (Later, she compares him to a redwood tree.) This is about the harshest criticism Ms. Bravo permits, and one wonders just which good qualities Ms. Walker had in mind. The persecution of homosexuals? The silencing of political opposition? The jailing of dissidents?
''Fidel,'' which opens today in New York, rules such issues inadmissible, and this is a shame. A balanced assessment of Cuba's revolution, which has survived the collapse of socialism and four decades of American efforts to reverse and obstruct it, would be fascinating and important.
But for Ms. Bravo and the staunch partisans who populate her film, Mr. Castro must be either a monster or a saint. The possibility that he is both -- or that he is neither, but rather a complex and contradictory historical figure -- cannot be entertained. The film holds fast to one of the sorrier traditions of the left: the belief that any expression of doubt about the virtue of a revolutionary regime can only play into the hands of its enemies, and so must be suppressed.Continue reading the main story
The history recounted in ''Fidel'' is not entirely worthless and is at least a starting point for consideration of the complex, entwined but not entirely congruent histories of the cold war and the struggles for self-determination in the post-colonial world. The Bay of Pigs and the missile crisis of 1962 receive due attention, as does Mr. Castro's sponsorship of various third world insurgencies. Nelson Mandela credits Cuba's intervention in the Angolan civil war with hastening the end of South African apartheid. All of this, as well as domestic achievements in education and health care, are certainly part of Mr. Castro's record, just as the wiliness, wit and resilience evident in speeches and interviews are part of his character.
Doggedly and single-mindedly, Ms. Bravo insists that there are no other sides. While Mr. Castro's travels are duly chronicled, the Mariel boatlift goes entirely unmentioned. We do catch a glimpse of a few people setting off on a makeshift raft, but the film never bothers to ask why anyone would risk exposure, drowning and shark attacks to get away from Mr. Castro's social justice. A number of revolutionary fighters offer touching reminiscences, but the experiences of those who fought in the revolution and were later betrayed or victimized by it is wiped from the record.
It is hardly surprising that Ms. Bravo does not interview any of Mr. Castro's die-hard enemies, but she conveniently pretends that the only opposition to his rule has come from right-wing exiles and the Central Intelligence Agency. The heartbreak that so often follows revolutionary enthusiasm -- a phenomenon movingly illuminated, for instance, in the writings of Reinaldo Arenas and in ''Before Night Falls,'' Julian Schnabel's film biography of Arenas -- is rendered nonexistent by this movie, which admits of no nuance, no ambiguity, no argument. This is bad cinema and bad history. Ms. Bravo is unstinting in her praise for the omelet and her admiration of the chef, but she refuses to admit that she's walking on eggshells.
Directed by Estela Bravo; in English and Spanish, with English subtitles; directors of photography, Roberto Chile and Kevin Keating; edited by David Frankel, Monica Henriquez and Fermin Gonzalez; music by Frank Fernandez; produced by Elizabeth Beer; released by First Run Features. Running time: 91 minutes. This film is not rated.

Yesterday we got around 20 inches of snow. School got cancelled the night before which is always a treat. My kids are happily playing outside, so I race upstairs to get rid of old toys.
I can't do this while anyone (including my husband) is watching because it will go like this, "Oh that! I forgot I had that. Don't get rid of that. I love that!"
On my way upstairs, I pass a large tote filled with hats and mittens. I dump it out on the floor in the dining room and bring the empty tote with me. Now in my son's room, I pull out games from his closet and sort them. I find stuff no one is ever going to play with again. Candyland, Headbands, and Qwirkle all make their way into the tote.
All this money wasted, I start to think, but quickly stop myself. It is what it is at this point. We buy things for Christmas or whenever hoping we've hit the jackpot and sometimes (apparently a lot) we're wrong.
By the time I finish, his room looks incredible and the tote is overflowing. I don't want my kids to see this tote. I drag it down the stairs. Bump, bump, bump, 18 times. I click the metal handle on the front door and it whips open. Over two feet of snow rush into the front hall. I pull the tote out and drag it down the front steps. I am wearing boots, but no jacket, hat, or gloves. I pull on the door to close it behind me, but it won't shut. I use my bare hand to dust off the snow stuck in the frame. Again I try to close it. Nope.
My heart starts to race. There is only so much time. Someone, a child or husband, will eventually come into sight and see what I am trying to do. I close the door as best I can resolving to come back after hiding the evidence.
I wade through 24 inch drifts of snow, as I pull the tote towards my white Volvo sedan. My hands began to hurt in the manner of a thousand pinprick torture system but I can not stop now. I know what Shackleton must have felt like. Getting to the car and opening the trunk should be a victory, but as I lift the 50 pound tote––it wont. fit. in. the. trunk.
Suddenly, I hear voices. "Mom! Where are you?" I must not let them see these toys. I flip the blue tote on its side with the open part inside the car and started banging on the bottom so the stuff dumps into the boot of the car loose and completely unorganized. I feel sorry for the Goodwill employee who will have to sort through this to make it sellable, but I cannot let this sadness hurt my mission.
Loose playing cards blow down the street. The trunk closes, the job is done. Only a yoyo string hanging out the trunk seam tells the tale of my mission.


text: I will be buying the N1 on big red when it comes out (let's hope the March 23rd rumor is true). I know that you can access multiple GMail accounts through the phone but does anyone know if you can have a GMail and another account. I am a medical student and get important minute-to-minute emails about things for the hospital. The account I have through the school uses OWA and the school has dropped its ability to automatically forward emails to other accounts. Also, as much as I have tried, I can not get my GMail account to import/retrieve emails from the OWA account. So I am hoping to have the .edu account and the GMail account simultaneously. Any help would be provided from anyone currently using N1 on TMo. Even if you could test it by trying to set up another email with another POP3 email server. Thanks in advance.

Discussion in 'Punto 1.3 MJD 90 HP' started by harry_1407, Oct 19, 2011.
Some Random pics taken from my mobile are attached below.
Wow You have been to Kundah !!! A Very nice place. We lived there for 5 years as my Dad was working in the Kundah Power House, When I was doing my 3rd std to 7th std. Such a beautiful place. I can never forget that place. And also it would have been such a coincidence if I had not dropped my plan to visit Kundah on the new year eve. My bad. Atleast if you had mentioned about your plan in this thread earlier, I would have somehow managed to come up there and cud have had a micro TFI meet. Bad timings is all I can say.
Did you drive to Upper Bhavani ???
@srida: it was a sudden plan laid on last Friday 28th morning and I started on by evening. Scouting for accommodation was not a problem as we have my cousin house at m.pallada.
we will have a planned meet next time at kundha.
No I could not drive to upper bhavani this time.

Update guys.
After 20k kms in this march my stock battery started to fade by showing airbag failure messages and car protection failure message I could push for another 2k kms and yesterday I had a minor starting trouble hence decided and replaced the stock battery with Amaron 55 amp battery. Got a good deal from an Amaron dealer, a friend of my father in law. Now the beast starts quicky and sound is completely different. As my other car runs with Amaron I did not have second choice selecting.
Happy with Amaron.

Battery in my car is good even after keeping the car idle for around 9 months.
You should have warranty on the battery as well. Did you check with the FASS?
Updating this thread after a long time.
My car has now run 25k kms and it is due for its 3rd service before 22nd September hence called and booked the slot at Ramkay Fiat last week for today morning appointment.
Reached Ramkay today morning at 9:10 and was greeting warmly by Mr. Mahesh the SA. He seems to be a very polite person and has the patience to listen what customer say. This service center has more bays in comparison with RDC. Visitor parking was also more than sufficient.
I gave the list of issues from my side which Mr. Mahesh listed in the Job card.
1. 30 K service with std changes need to be followed
2. Change the Rear right side Power window motor which was supposed to be changed by RDC in June when i visited them for Glow plug change. Mahesh made an inquiry with the Spares section and informed me the part is available.
3. I hear a small tuk..tuk sound from the front left suspension. I told him to check for the sturt.
4. of-late i am getting a mileage of 10 kmpl in side city with moderately heavy foot driving condition. With out hard press i get around 13kmpl. hence told him to check that also.
5. Wheel alignment and balancing comes with this service but i am keeping my fingers crossed as i usually get it done outside at Ramesh tyres Velachery.
i was told the car will be ready for delivery by evening 5.
another thing that pleased me was i got dropped at the OMR High Style junction. I need to cross the road to enter my tech park.
I had my smile after coming to my work i hope this stays for the coming days!!
Will post the review after i get back my car.
An Update after a long time. Car has done close to 27K Kms as these days the car is shuttling inside the city. For last couple of months probably from December i feel very harsh ride from my car. The ride quality has become very stiff that i get neck pain after a couple of hours of drive. During the recent Team Fiat meet i had a chance to drive our TeamFiatian handle:- Driver's(Sai aditya) car again a 90HP and felt butter smooth over the rough patches. Immediately I checked with Ramkay Fiat and as usual the SA's are clueless about the make of the suspension. I patiently explained to them that mine is a July 2011 make and i suspect the suspension make to be endurance. After an hour i received call back from the spare in charge and was told that Endurance has been brought by Magnetti Marelli in India so these days we get only MM struts. He continued saying the struts were not available hence i requested them to place an order asap. The SA also said that due to lack to Service technicians because of Pongal vacation requested me to bring my car early next week for an inspection.
In the mean time i had a chance to talk with Shaktivel from True Sai works, Salem he seems to be a very knowledgeable person who has the tendency to hear the customer plight and give suggestions to solve it. Going forward i don't mind travelling 360 kms one way for a service at True Sai. Way to go guys!!!
My questions here is
1. Is the suspension quality so bad that within 27K Kms it has been worn out?
2. SA says this cannot be covered under warranty but i remember seeing in ext warranty manual that suspension parts are covered. I have already sent a mail to Magesh his service team at FIAPL waiting for their reply.
3. Is there any way to check the existing strut without folk lifting and removing the Tyre.
Expert can you guys tell me more.
Did the service centre folks inspect your car and did they confirm that the struts are worn out?
No Ramesh they are yet to inspect the car as i was told by the SA that the Service technicians are on leave and will be back next week
No - Mine's still on stock struts at 67k.
This can be covered under warranty till 35K KM's.
This is a crude way but put both your hands in the bonnet area around the suspension and press the car down hard. Observe the way it returns back which can tell if the suspension has gone bad/hard.
Separate names with a comma.

It's alive!
NASA's Kepler space telescope had to stop planet-hunting during Earth's northern-hemisphere summer 2013 when a second of its four pointing devices (reaction wheels) failed. But using a new technique that takes advantage of the solar wind, Kepler has found its first exoplanet since the K2 mission was publicly proposed in November 2013.
And despite a loss of pointing precision, Kepler's find was a smaller planet — a super-Earth! It's likely a water world or a rocky core shrouded in a thick, Neptune-like atmosphere. Called HIP 116454b, it's 2.5 times the size of Earth and a whopping 12 times the mass. It circles its dwarf star quickly, every 9.1 days, and is about 180 light-years from Earth.
"Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, Kepler has been reborn and is continuing to make discoveries. Even better, the planet it found is ripe for follow-up studies," stated lead author Andrew Vanderburg of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.

Hi Guys!
I just saw this on Twitter: https://twitter.com/hashtag/COSYNE17?src=hash where the description mentioned a presentation by Jeff and Subutai on the above linked poster. The poster appears to be all about Cortical Columns, and research conducted therein - together with experiments conducted around the topic.
I'm wondering... If this has been presented to COSYNE meetings, then maybe more talks and discussion of the newer areas of investigation are available somewhere and I missed them? (@rhyolight, @cmaver, @subutai, @jhawkins)
Most relevant material currently:
Hi @cogmission,
This poster that was presented at Cosyne on Friday night is on our site as well, if you want to view or download the full pdf: http://numenta.com/assets/pdf/posters/CosynePoster_2017.pdf
Thanks Matt & Christy..
@cmaver and @rhyolight: Thanks for sharing this poster. Is any implementation of this experiment in python script or C++ available for testing? in nupic.research?
Well there is certainly activity in our research repo, but I don't keep track of their day-to-day progress. You might want to look through the recent commits to find more.
@rhyolight thanks. I will take a look on it!

Ever wonder what it would have been like to party with George W. during his freewheeling frat days at Yale' Ever notice the eerie similarities between Vice President Cheney and Austin Powers' Dr. Evil' Ever wonder what it would be like to cast Donald Rumsfeld in the role of a chickenhawk-like superhero' Well, wonder no more! With the Punch Out the President (and Pals) paper doll set, you can experience these playtime scenarios and many, many more! Punch Out the President includes four honest-to-goodness (okay, perhaps that's not the most appropriate phrase in this case) eight-inch-tall, perforated paper dolls including George W., Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and the ever-animated Attorney General John Ashcroft. (Be warned, readers of faint heart, the dolls-Cheney included-come clad only in their skivvies!) Along with the four horsemen of the ridiculous, the set includes 16 outfits (four for each doll) and loads of clever accessories. Dick Cheney as a long-haired, tree-hugging neo-hippie' Why not'! Rummy as Beat Poet in beret and black turtleneck sweater' Sure! Ashcroft as a dandy art critic' Of course. After all, these outfits are no more ridiculous than the Commander in Chief decked out in his infamous flight suit, are they' The possibilities are enormous-and the outfits are hilarious. The emperor may have no clothes, but these guys have closets so full there's hardly any room for the skeletons. And unlike most things in Washington, this play set really works! The outfits and accessories attach to the dolls with fold-down tabs-just like the ones we played with as kids.Adding to all this fun is insightful (or more properly, incite-ful) commentary for each outfit, outrageous-but-true quotes, clever quizzes and games, and plenty of other surprises along the way. All-in-all, Punch Out the President is a true and fitting tribute to the D.C. boys club.

That 747 brown cockpit looks cool, just like in MSFlightSimulator :))) cool shot dude
An amazingly clear picture!!
Nice shot! I wish Iberia had any 747 in property instead of renting aircraft and crew all the time. Enhorabuena
The most difficult and important moment in flight! Nice shot! I hope you didnt deviate their attention, however they are not already lined with the runway yet! Left Pedal!
Makes me feel on the jumpseat!
The picture just shows the brilliant and moderness of the 747-400 cockpit!
Just a rellay nice picture
One of the best pics I've ever seen!!
This 736 cockpit is awesome.ready to land.
Good action shot, its a 744 though
I want to be a pilot when i grow up so i have been trying to look for websites to see some planes so i think that this picture is awsome.But i have some cockpits before and thought they have more instruments!so i would be studieing this picture for a while!
Great action shot, notice that the LNav and VNav buttons are still lit.
No body had ever shown such a view from a plane approaching the runway on its finals. I must say that the neatness in all aspects from the outside in the farthest and inside the cickpit make this picture to be just great and very professional.
Hi my name is santiago i want to became a airline pilot i love the shot of the pilots in the coxpit aprocing the runway iwant to fly all types of airplain exspecialy A380 good luck pilots in your career in flying
Hi my name is David this photo is very nice in futuare i would like to be a pilot and then I want work in Polish Arlines LOT
Notice where they're landing. I bet they're glad that another 747 didn't try to take off in front of them!
This is very good picture and I want to travel on jump seat in the cockpit

In July 2015, published research by JAMA Pediatrics indicated the suicide rate among elementary school children (under 12 years of age) had stabilized over two decades. What they were surprised to find was that Black children were at an increased incidence of suicide whereas their White counterparts demonstrated a significant decrease in suicide incidence. While White children's rates of suicide has stabilized, those of Black children had increased.

A lot of times when I have to feed some APIs with byte array(byte[]), I got myself confused during converting what I have in hand(usually a string or even, a string array) to what I want it to be. There are certainly a lot of ways you could conduct this convention, and most of them works fairly well in terms of performance and space consumption. While putting these two criteria's aside, here're two simple and self-explained helper methods that will do the trick:
static byte[] ConvertToBytes(string inputString)
byte[] outputBytes = new byte[inputString.Length * sizeof(char)];
Buffer.BlockCopy(inputString.ToCharArray(), 0, outputBytes, 0, outputBytes.Length);
return outputBytes;
In some other cases when you want to concatenate two byte arrays, while you don't want to bother doing the convention between strings. Here's a easy way of doing it, which also employs Buffer.BlockCopy. Note that it appends the Byte[] arrayB to the end of Byte[] arrayA:
static byte[] AppendTwoByteArrays(byte[] arrayA, byte[] arrayB)
byte[] outputBytes = new byte[arrayA.Length + arrayB.Length];
Buffer.BlockCopy(arrayA, 0, outputBytes, 0, arrayA.Length);
Buffer.BlockCopy(arrayB, 0, outputBytes, arrayA.Length, arrayB.Length);
return outputBytes;

Shadwell filly picks up first black-type
SHADWELL STUD's homebred filly Almass picked up her first black-type at Cork on Saturday when successful in the Navigation Stakes.
And it was success all round for Shadwell as the filly's sire is Elnadim, Shadwell's homebred stallion who stands at Derrinstown Stud in Ireland. He has had a fine year through 2008 courtesy of progeny such as Wi Dud, Plum Pudding, Al Wasi and Sirenia Stakes-Gr3 winner Elnawin.
Almass's dam Harmless Albatross has produced nine winners from 11 runners including five who won and placed at Listed level. Her best performer to date however is Volochine who twice finished third at Group 1 level - in the Prix de Salamandre and the Rothermans International.
The second dam North Forland (Northfields) finished second in the Ribblesdale Stakes-Gr2 and produced Libertine, who finished third in the Poule d'Essai des Pouliche-Gr1. Libertine's own daughter Amandine is grand-dam of Infamous Angel, winner of this year's Lowther Stakes-Gr2.

Sanofi-Aventis U.S. LLC, et al. v. Eli Lilly and Company, C.A. No. 14-113 – RGA-MPT , April 27, 2015
Andrews, J. The court previously entered a Markman opinion on January 20, 2015. Declarations by experts were submitted on January 16, 2015 and an evidentiary hearing took place on January 23, 2015 regarding how a POSA would understand the disputed terms.
The relevant period for claim construction is the effective filing date, in this case June 18, 2002. The court construes the terms "polysorbate," "polysorbate 20," and "polysorbate,"and "polysorbate 80." For the first disputed term, plaintiff relies on Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients in the third edition, published in 2000, and defendant relies on the fourth edition, published in 2003 after the priority date. The court adopts plaintiff's proposed construction. With respect to the other disputed terms, plaintiff relies on the 2002 USP-NF while the defendant relies on the 2014 USP-NF. The court adopts plaintiff's proposed construction which would have been available at the relevant time period.

If there's one brand that strongly resonates with the entire camera community, it's Leica. While the iconic manufacturer isn't as innovative as it once was during the film era, photographers around the world acknowledge the craftsmanship of every new iteration. Let's take a moment to appreciate the just-launched M10.
As the company's latest digital rangefinder in the long-running M series, the M10 clearly has the latest technology Leica could dig up. Gone are the bulky growing pains from the German company's transition to digital designs; the M10 is just as slim as the M4 of 1967.
It's Leica's thinnest post-film rangefinder, as well. And that matters a lot, with models like the full-frame Sony RX1 making most new-age compacts look like disposable film cameras in comparison. Leica counters its closest competition by simply calling the M10, "The Camera."
Bold words, but the refinement of the M10 after years and years of makeovers in the M series proves just how close to a perfect digital Leica it truly is. Within its traditional physique is an all-new 24-megapixel image sensor capable of pushing an ISO sensitivity as high as 50,000.
To make full use of the wider ISO range, Leica added a dial on the top plate, allowing you to adjust the setting even while the camera is turned off. Combined with the dials for aperture and shutter speed, all three exposure settings are as easy to access as the power button.
The M10 has really been scaled down to focus more on pure photography, rather than Instagram-like filters and a multitude of shooting modes. You'll notice it lacks video recording, touchscreen functionality for its display, and connectivity ports. The back has only four control buttons: live view, play, menu, and the directional pad.
Although those seem like a step back, features such as built-in Wi-Fi for smartphone connectivity, a faster processor that allows up to five full-resolution photos taken per second, and an improved viewfinder make the experience all the more satisfying.
Of course, like any Leica available in the market, the M10's price tag is not for the feint-hearted. If you're actually interested, it's already available for $6,595 or the equivalent of several other full-frame cameras combined. Color options are very expensive silver or really pricey black.

(adds Mihajlovic quotes)
MILAN, Feb 2 (Reuters) - Sampdoria coach Sinisa Mihajlovic said forward Samuel Eto'o had shown a "serious lack of respect" by missing an extra training session on Monday following their 5-1 Serie A defeat at Torino.
Mihajlovic had scheduled two training sessions on Monday, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, as a reprisal for his team's performance.
But Eto'o, who only joined Sampdoria last week from English club Everton, left after the morning session without speaking to the coach and did not return, Italian media reported.
"I don't know where he's gone and I don't know what the club intends to do," Mihajlovic was quoted as saying in the Gazzetta dello Sport.
"The only thing that is certain is that the player did not give me any explanation; I consider it to be a serious lack of respect to myself and the rest of the team.
"That's the only truth today, the rest is pure fantasy.
"There hasn't been a row with Eto'o, simply because you need two people to have an argument and he has done everything on his own," he added.
"I haven't seen him since the morning training and haven't spoken to him either."
Mihajlovic, a notoriously tough taskmaster who has revived Sampdoria's fortunes in his 15 months in charge, said he was ashamed by Sunday's performance, adding that his players needed to examine their consciences.
Former Cameroon forward Eto'o, 33, who was a free agent, joined the Sampdoria from Everton last week after only five months at the Merseyside club.
He came on as a second-half substitute in Sunday's match, only Sampdoria's third league defeat of the season. (Writing by Brian Homewood in Berne, editing by Ed Osmond and Pritha Sarkar)

In order to prevent the gaps in coordinate datum between different regional continuously operating reference systems (CORS), we analyze the causes and introduce a method for coordinate datum unification. Using experimental data from the Hubei and Hunan CORS, the results show that the systematic deviation reaches 17.9±4.5 mm between these two datums. The proposed method establishes a unified coordinate datum to eliminate the systematic deviation and builds connections between each coordinate datum. The validity of our method was supported by empirical evidence. Finally, some suggestions about coordinate datum unification for a regional CORS network combination are put forward.

A robust image registration algorithm is proposed, which includes the following two stages: (1) initial matching, SIFT matching method and the normalized cross correlation (NCC) metric modified with adaptive scale and orientation of SIFT features are proposed to find good initial matches, and the geometric consistency check is used to identify false matches; (2) matching propagation, a robust matching propagation using adaptive NCC and local homography constraint starts from the initial correspondences established in the first phase, and the geometrical consistency check is used simultaneously to eliminate the incorrect matches. By using matching propagation, control points used to image registration can be obtained as many as possible. Initial local homography is estimated using least squares matching algorithm and the initial values of unknown parameters needed for it is provided by adaptive NCC method. Compared to existing point-based image registration methods, the proposed algorithm has better performance in terms of registration accuracy and robustness to geometric deformations within images.

A novel multi-stage quasi-dense matching algorithm for wide base-line stereo images is introduced based on SIFT and dual constraints of epipolar geometry and homographie mapping. The proposed algorithm includes following three stages: 1 The optimal SIFT features with good spatial distribution and large information content are first selected, and matched by using the least squares matching method, then the fundamental and homographie matrix can be estimated by using these initial sparse correspondences with higher precision;2 For the other SIFT features, the affine transformation parameters between matching windows are iteratively optimized by using the slope angle of correspondent epipolar lines and scale information of SIFT features, and affine invariant feature descriptors are extracted from the corrected matching windows, then correspondences can be determined by Euclid distance and dual constraint information;3 Considering the lower repeatability rate of feature detection for wide base-line stereo images, for the unmatched points extracted from left and right images of stereo pairs, matching can be carried out by adopting two-way search strategy from left to right image or from right to left image based on the rapid SSD similarity cost function and affine rectified dual constraints region, and the least squares curve surface fitting weighted by Gaussian-distance algorithm is adopted to improve the precision of matching results. Test results using practical wide base-line image pairs indicate the proposed algorithm is effective and can provide reliable dense or quasi-dense matching points for subsequent 3D reconstruction.

In this paper, we introduce polarimetric information into traditional differential interferometry SAR technique to measure water level changes of river. The flooded forests make it possible to measure the water level changes because of strong energy backscattering from water-trunk structure. The polarimetric information can be used to distinguish flooded and non-flooded forest and improve interferometric coherence. We select two fully polarimetric ALOS PALSAR images over Tapajós river in Amazon floodplain to investigate the water level changes. After applying the polarimetric coherence optimization, we use the optimal interferogram to measure the water level changes. The results demonstrate that the optimal interferogram has much higher coherence than that of the HH interferogram, and thus produce more reliable measurement. © 2005 by Binary Information Press.

An extended oscillatory correlation segmentation algorithm is complied to perform unsupervised scene segmentation for hyperspectral imagery(HSI). According to perceptual mechanism, the high variances associated with bright intensity values are just salient regions of scene. Instead of lateral potential, saliency map is hired to obtain self-excitable cell.Then hyperspectral imagery is segmentated by extended LEGION. With these steps, more accurate initial residential areas can be obtained, but with many deficiencies including the existence of holes and useless patches. To resolve these problems, a morphological space based method is used to dissolve these residential patches. Experiment on PHI-3 data demonstrates the utility of the algorithm for residential areas recognition. © 2011 IEEE.

Brexit campaigner who started 2nd EU Referendum petition hits back
A PETITION calling for a second EU referendum was actually started by a leave campaigner - because he thought Britain would vote to remain.
Activist William Healey will be kicking himself after his petition demanding a re-run of last week's historic vote became the largest petition of its kind with more than 3.2 million signatures in less than a week.
He claims the parliament petition has been "hijacked" by remain campaigners who are unhappy with the result – and are now seeking the possibility of a second vote.
Healy, who said he launched it at a time when there was no guarantee of a victory for Leave, has since tried to distance himself from the petition.
Oliver Healey
He wrote on Facebook: "This petition was created at a time (over a month ago) when it was looking unlikely that 'leave' were going to win, with the intention of making it harder for 'remain' to further shackle us to the EU.
"Due to the result, the petition has been hijacked by the remain campaign."
On the petition, which he originally set up in November, he wrote: "We the undersigned call upon HM Government to implement a rule that if the Remain or Leave vote is less than 60% based on a turnout less than 75%, there should be another referendum."
But now, following a leave vote described as the most momentous decision this country has taken since World War Two, he said: "Since I am associated with the petition and before the press further associate me with it I felt the need to better clarify my position on the issue even if it looks bad.
"I am it's creator, nothing more! The logistical probability of getting a turnout to be a minimum of 75% and of that, 60% of the vote must be one or the other (leave or remain) is in my opinion next to impossible without a compulsory element to the voting system.
"I have openly and actively lent my support to both Vote Leave and Grassroots Out campaigns - why would I do this if I wanted to remain in the EU?"
Not surprisingly, the irony of Healy's petition wasn't lost on Twitter users, with many poking fun at the nationalist.
One Twitter user named toriap wrote: "Best laugh of the weekend! Bet he is gutted!"

@jennyr951 William Oliver Healey is actually an Outer who set the petition up in case Remain won. Beautiful irony— SomethingAboutDiana (@KissOfABullet) June 26, 2016
It comes after the government revealed the petition is being probed in connection with fraud allegations.
Following the out vote by 52% to 48% in Thursday's referendum, Prime Minister David Cameron said there will be no re-run.
The House of Commons petitions committee is investigating the alleged fraud and said they are taking the allegations "very seriously".
North Korea, Bermuda, China and Venezuela were among the places where dubious signatures were recored.

The colors, Duke. The colors.
Those puzzle platformers seem like a dime a dozen nowadays. I've played my fair share of them, and after a while they all seem to blend together. Of course, every once in a while, a game will come around that adds a bit more to the formula or steps up its game a bit. Hue just so happens to be one of those games.
Players take on the role of Hue, a boy living in a black and white world that seems a bit dreary. He stumbles upon a special power that allows him to add color to the world. Along the way, he find journal notes assigned to him telling a story of how these special colors came to be, along with more back story. He will collect new colors to go to new places and will have to change them constantly in order to progress.
Platforms: XB1, PS4, PC
Price I'd pay: $14.99
Hue utilizes a background color scheme as a platforming and puzzle element. It reminds me a lot of the Wii U game Runbow. The player can change the color of the background any time they like. This will then change things in the environment. Let's say I have the color blue at my disposal. The background is currently yellow. I run into a big blue wall that is blocking my way. I can switch the background to blue and the giant blue wall that was blocking my way has now blended in with the background. Now I can walk right through it. That is really the only mechanic in the game. It's simple, yet the puzzles that utilize this single mechanic cam be highly complex.
With each series of puzzles, Hue unlocks new colors for his repertoire. This allows him to travel to newer areas in the hub world a la Metroid. Eventually, puzzles will become more than just brain teasers and will eventually take timing and skill to complete. Jumping puzzles that feature different colored platforms to land on that can only be use when switching colors mid-jump. Luckily, when the player changes colors, while in the menu to do so, time slows down to a slow-motion crawl that allows for pinpoint landing while still getting the colors players need. Some of these platforming puzzles can get rather tedious at times, especially after obtaining a good amount of colors.
If there was one issue I had with the game it was the colors themselves. Starting off, it's easy – blue, yellow, red, purple, ect. But after trekking farther in the game, I started to unlock colors that looked a lot like the colors I already had. So the pink and the purple colors can sometimes not be contrasted enough for me to see them clearly. This can really become an issue when doing platforming puzzles.
I have to give it to Fiddlesticks Games. They have made a tight playing platformer with some pretty good puzzles using one simple mechanic. While most puzzles never had me stuck, they most certainly had me scratching my head a few times. Even when the color platforming was a bit much, I had a really great time with Hue and I think a lot of people will too, especially at the nice $15 price tag.

Breasts contain fat, therefore, they can grow bigger or reduce in size at different times in your life. Weight loss or gain also contributes to breast size. Usually, breast fat is the first fat to go when a woman loses weight.
Stress Levels
A women's hormones are affected when high stress is involved resulting in a change in breast size.
Stress causes a reduction in output levels of oestrogen and progesterone. There is a reduction in cell growth rate and lift in the breast as a result of high stress.
Smoking is not a healthy habit to begin with, but where your breasts are concerned women who smoke can lose the elasticity in their breasts causing them to sag and appear less full.
According to the website breastenlargementresource.com breast tissue growth may increase with the consumption of foods containing high levels of phytoestrogens. Raw vegetables contain healing enzymes and have been known to promote healthy breasts.
Examples of breast enhancing foods are:
- Lentils
- Chickpeas
- Wholegrain Rice
- Oats
- Shallots
- Broccoli
- Flaxseed/Unheated Flaxseed Oil
- Unheated Extra-Virgin Olive OilSoy Based Foods/Tofu
- Fresh Garlic
- Parsley/Rosemary
- Raw Spinach
- Salmon/Rainbow/Trout/Tuna/Sardines/Cod/Herring
- Dark Leafy Green Vegetables
- Organic Foods
Avoid Foods Containing:
- Margarine
- Frying oils
- Fried/grilled/burnt foods
- Hydrogenated vegetable oil
Using herbs is a natural way of achieving and maintaining good health. Society is becoming more commercialized and products are more often chemically manufactured. Natural herbs function to promote personal health, help regulate your body, balance your metabolism and help in the body's natural healing process.
When choosing a breast enhancement pill it is important to choose one containing herbal ingredients.

Are Cassettes the New Vinyl? This Could Be the Beginning…
Of course, cassettes will never make a comeback. Just like vinyl would never make a comeback. But last year, sales of vinyl LPs and EPs reached reached a 25-year high.
But that's not the only format recovering. According to sales data emerging this week from Nielsen Soundscan, cassette sales increased 74% in 2016.
Of course, that raises the next question: 74% of what? Well, not nothing: according to the US-based data, sales of new cassette tapes reached 129,000 last year, up from 95,460 in 2015. By comparison, 13 million vinyl records were sold in the US during the same period.
Across all formats, 200 million albums were sold. That figures includes CDs and downloadable albums, both declining formats that still eclipse vinyl and cassette sales. In fact, CD albums still sold 105 million units in 2016, if you can believe that.
In other words, cassettes sales are peanuts. Then again, vinyl sales were peanuts back in 2004, when everyone was calling the vinyl comeback a fad. Beyond that, these are only sales of new cassettes (and vinyl records), not used copies. And when it comes to vintage nostalgia, used is actually more valuable. But it's also a lot more difficult to accurately count.

I was lucky enough to get the chance to attend the American Diabetes Association's (ADA) Scientific Sessions in New Orleans this summer. It's the largest conference on diabetes in the world and there were over 16,000 people in attendance.
I had actually never been to a medical conference before and to attend one that was as huge as ADA was pretty cool. Work had me attending as many of the presentations and sessions as possible, which was both interesing and dull. It was all a bit hectic as the venue was massive and going from one end to the other took 10-15mins walking..!
The experience of it all was great – and being on the industry side of it all was definitely different. Being from the UK, where medications are all paid for by the NHS, it was weird to be in America, where the promotion of medications is so liberal everywhere you look. The conference centre had booths set up by different pharma companies, each marketing and promoting their drug. It was a big eye-opener on how much money gets put into the pharmaceutical industry. Despite working in the field for 7 months now, it only really occurred to me when I was in New Orleans how much of it is about sales. Probably a little naive of me, really. But that's not to say the work done by the pharma industry hasn't helped those who need it.
I did make me think that I'd be better suited to be on the flipside of things. Being a clinician and collaborating with big pharma, as opposed to being immersed in the industry completely. I don't know if healthcare marketing is something I'm totally ready for right now!
New Orleans itself was a blast, though. Great city with great food (I totally recommend an iced coffee + beignets at Cafe du Monde and a po'boy from NOLA Poboys) and people. The weather was hot and humid (along with thunderstorms and torrential rain) but I was lucky that the sun was shining on my days off from work to go out and enjoy it. Even got to see some 'gators…

Is it possible for a global society with so many different life styles to agree on an agenda for living peacefully together on the same planet? If so, how?
sort by best latest
I think it would certainly be easy enough to agree to an agenda of "aceptance" but living up to it may be a different story. lol
We are one species consisting of different colors, languages, lifestyles, but...our composition, the stuff we're made of is the same. If we could remind the world of that one simple concept, perhaps things would change. There will always be evil people and groups but they will always be the minority. Oh, if only it werea perfect world.

I agree. Eric Eriksson coined the term "pseudospeciation" for the unfortunate tendency people have to think of other people as not of the same species, the same cloth, the same family.
Some people do know how we can view ourselves and all other people as one family of brothers and sisters. And, clearly, if we all learned this type of respect and love, war, systematic oppression, and most violence would come to an end. That would be a good thing.
But the truth is that no one has every found a reliable way to help people shift their deep perspectives. Even a figure like Buddha or Jesus couldn't do it - if they could, we'd have world peace now.
All I know to do is to live my truth and keep deepening the way that I see myself and others, and share the meditations, prayers, thoughts, and practices I discover and live by with those who will listen.
Would that we would all open our hearts. Often, though, our hearts have to be broken open by the pain of life.

Supreme Court hears new Clean Water Act cases
Once again, the U.S. Supreme Court is choosing to shine its light on a jurisdictional fight under the Clean Water Act (CWA)—this time with foresters, land owners, flood and storm water managers, environmental advocates and CWA enthusiasts watching closely.
Just before issuing its landmark decision on the health care law in July, the court announced it would hear two new CWA cases for its upcoming 2012-13 term. Both involve the murky issue of storm water runoff and the scope of federal permitting, although in different contexts with different statutory provisions in play.
The move is a bit of a surprise to some, as the court has issued many rulings related to CWA issues and programs over the past two decades (e.g., involving adjacent wetlands and isolated waters; interstate water quality disputes; activities in agricultural fields and runoff; water quality certifications and dams; water transfers; and, most recently in the 2012 Sackett case, wetlands enforcement procedures). Also, in this instance, the solicitor general, on behalf of the administration, argued the court should not agree to hear the new cases.
Nonetheless, the court said yes—making the two cases, plus a third involving flood control not under CWA purview, the primary environmental cases for the next term. Both CWA cases involve storm water and the scope of the CWA's permitting requirements, and both have high stakes for the resources, people and programs involved, ranging from thousands of miles of public and private sector logging roads to hundreds of communities and water management districts not currently covered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) municpal separate storm sewer system (MS4) permitting requirements under the CWA.
Decker vs. Northwest Environmental Defense Center and Georgia Pacific West vs. Northwest Environmental Defense Center are consolidated petitions challenging a 2010 9th Circuit Court of Appeals decision that channelized storm water runoff from logging roads requires a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. The Supreme Court held that EPA's 1976 silviculture rule does not exempt such discharges from regulation.
Lingering Questions
There has been a long-running debate among groups as to exactly what is and what is not regulated under NPDES and what can fall into the non-permit-driven best management practices (BMP) programs. EPA's regulations communicate that certain activities—such as log transfer facilities, rock crushing and gravel washing—must be regulated, but the regulations exempt certain drainage involving road runoff. The U.S. Forest Service (USFS) reports there are about 376,000 road miles in the national forests. Also, there are an additional 558 million acres of private and nonfederal forestland outside of the USFS's national system.
In the second case, Los Angeles County Flood Control District vs. Natural Resources Defense Council, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the county must obtain an NPDES permit for urban runoff collecting in channelized river systems maintained and improved by county flood control agencies. The case touched on issues raised in the Miccosukee water transfer case from several years ago, when the Supreme Court refused to hold that certain releases of nutrient-rich water triggered NPDES permitting requirements, based on lingering questions involving hydrologic connections between water bodies and "unitary water" legal theories. The Los Angeles County case also raises questions about the degree to which downstream water agencies should be responsible under the CWA for the water quality actions of dozens of other upstream municipalities with storm water draining into a single agency's water management structure or facility.
