Luke 23:22-23
For the third time he spoke to them: "Why? What crime has this man committed? I have found in him no grounds for the death penalty. Therefore, I will have him punished and then release him."
But with loud shouts they insistently demanded that he be crucified, and their shouts prevailed.
If you attend a traditional service in a Catholic or Episcopal Church, then you are readily familiar with the Nicene Creed which is recited during worship. It is both a recounting of the events preceding and following Jesus' death and resurrection and a declaration of Christian beliefs. Amazingly, aside from Mary, the Lord's mother, the only mortal mentioned in the Creed is the Roman prefect of Judea, Pontius Pilate: "For our sake, He was crucified under Pontius Pilate". While this phrase solidly fixes the time of Jesus' death in history, it renders the reputation of this man, so reluctant to sent Jesus to the cross, infamous at best.
Is this being fair to Pilate's legacy? Yes, I know that, under the pressure from the crowds whipped into a frenzy by the Sanhedrin and the insistence of the Jewish leaders themselves, the prefect caved to the demands and finally ordered the crucifixion of Jesus. However, in this verse from Luke today, we see him pleading no less than three times with the mob to spare our Lord. Pilate also declares Jesus' innocence: he can find no crime, no circumstance, nothing to compel the death penalty. Was a Gentile, ironically, the first to point toward the sinless nature of the Savior? Now, that is something to stop and think about!
"He became sin who knew no sin that we might become His righteousness. He humbled himself and carried the cross. Love so amazing! ~ Chris Tomlin

Things I Noticed – Something Nice Back Home
The more Season Four LOST I get, the more I wonder what the hell happened with Season Three. Not that last season was bad, but these days we're getting steak and potatoes when all we had before was fish-biscuits and water. Things I Noticed:
Apparently there's no 'I' in Things I Noticed
I've noticed that people have noticed that the Things I Noticed has evolved from a more factual analysis of each episode to a lot more theory and conjecture. They've noticed, believe it or not, that sometimes my ideas are wild and out there. They've noticed that sometimes I'm even factually wrong about stuff. My response to this is an enthusiastic 'shit yeah I am'.
You put the quarter in, you get on the horse, it goes up and down, and around…
The voices calling Jack back to consciousness in the opening scene definitely seemed to belong to both Juliet and Kate. This type of duality saturated the whole episode, as did the circular feelings of everything having been done before. Operating on the beach. Going to the medical hatch. Aaron is taken again (enough of that already), and someone even gets busted for secretly knowing a language. Kate mentions she's going to be Jack's nurse, to which he points out "it wouldn't be the first time". I can't imagine the writers are fresh out of ideas, so this type of circulature has got to be intentional And yes, I just made up the word circulature.
Kate finally decides she wants to play house
I'm sure Kate's panties aren't the only pair riding high this week, as we were shown the crucial missing time period between Kate's acquittal and Jack's screaming assertions from last season's finale. The future looked rosy for the Jack/Kate hookup, at least for a little while, as they settled down with Aaron and began a post-island life together.
I have to say, it looked pretty genuine. Two people having been through all the things they were, it was only natural they'd end up together. Considering that, it would've been easy to weigh their relationship against a scale of need vs. love. But in all honestly, Kate didn't seem all that needy. And although Jack might've needed reassurance on a few different levels, his feelings were all there too. There was absolutely no trace of Kate's flight instinct or (at least initially) Jack's hero complex. In fact, it all looked a little too rosy and perfect – at least until Jack went to see Hurley. More on that in a little bit.
The proposal seemed a little forced, though. At that point it looked like Jack was trying a little bit too desperately to shove the entire island debacle behind him. Of course, he'd just come from seeing Hurley. The things Hurley told him had rattled Jack to the point where he rushed the proposal. Waking your girlfriend up from a dead sleep to propose to her might not be the most romantic way a girl imagines that scenario going down. But the way Kate accepted, it did seem she happily loved him. It wasn't like she was MapQuesting an escape route in her head, as old Kate would've done.
The Adventures of Super Sawyer and Stalker Miles
I'm not sure what the deal is with Miles' sudden interest in Aaron, but it's definitely more than he's letting on. While at first Sawyer seems overprotective, he's probably acting like one of the most rational people on the show right now. A certain wariness should go hand in hand with three months of being beaten, shot, kidnapped, drugged, imprisoned, and chased across a jungle island by monsters and gunmen – and Sawyer definitely has that wariness. It's almost comical sometimes, when the other characters lack it.
I have to say it kind of sucked to see that Rousseau was dead. She was always interesting and her story was only half-told. I'm not sure why Keamy's team would bury those two bodies, even in a shallow grave, considering they were on their way to intimidate Ben's encampment and they even wanted Ben to know they had his daughter. Looking at their bodies it was almost as if the island itself were swallowing them, taking back its own. In the grand scheme of things, Danielle and Karl were probably considered protectors of the island. Their faces were eerily mask-like, and they didn't look the same to me.
Someone needs to tell Dan the island is plane-crash casual
Maybe, just maybe, Faraday should take his tie off already. I don't think he's impressing Charlotte anyway. At first I thought his heroic offer to lead the way into the staff station was because he wanted to swipe something without the 815'ers noticing. Maybe it was, but it's still hard to believe Dan's in on any kind of conspiracy at this point – he seems way too naive. Charlotte could still be planning something devious, but at this point I really don't care. They're both annoying, and they're taking up valuable screen time that could be used on the more ass-kicking characters of LOST. Together they're becoming the new Nikki & Paolo.
The dark side of Jin scares the crap out of me
Although this started off as a really cool scene, Jin's bargain with Charlotte to get Sun off the island seemed kind of forced too. We already know Sun makes it back, but the writers felt the need to canonize Jin further by making reference of his sacrifice for her and Ji Yeon. Considering the rock-solid past heroics we've all seen of Jin, this wasn't really necessary for me.
You had me at 'Flat on your back with my head in your abdominal cavity'…
Much like the new Transformers-esque tattoo on his shoulder this episode, there was more to Jack's appendectomy than meets the eye. Much, much more. Because if you thought it was all simple episode filler, you missed Rose's words to Bernard completely.
Rose doesn't get much dialogue, but when she does speak it's usually pretty important. This episode she questions why the island would make Jack sick, especially now, when in the past it's made people better. Keep in mind that Rose has always been attuned to the island in a Locke/Walt sort of way; certain in her assumption that Bernard was alive, and somehow knowing her cancer was gone.
A long way back, I pointed out how often unconsciousness seemed to play a role in visions, flashbacks, and even appearances of the smoke monster. To speak with the island, Locked ingested his home-brewed trip paste, and even gave it to Boone in season one to invoke visions. Eko's Yemi-sightings came while sleeping at night, and Charlie's visions came during dreams. It seems to me that the more withdrawn from consciousness the mind gets, the more it can communicate with (or be influenced by?) the island.
Now take Jack, who for some reason is adamant about staying awake during the procedure even though Juliet's performed dozens of appendectomies. The last thing he screams before Bernard chloroforms his ass: "I don't want to be unconscious!" Jack goes out, and then… white light (Hurley's heaven?) Suddenly, Jack's in his flash-forward – and at a very crucial point in his flash-forward too, because this is exactly when his father not only appears but actually calls to him.
This time Jack doesn't shake his head, rub his eyes, or try to disbelieve his dad is there. He locks his eyes firmly on Christian Shepherd and walks pointedly toward him. In the past, doubting things have always made such apparitions go away. Hurley had an entire conversation with Charlie until he counted to five and wanted him gone. Michael blinked in disbelief and Libby disappeared. Incredulity it seems, or lack of faith, shatters the tenuous connection between reality and island-induced illusion. But Jack has finally figured this out. He's going to get to the bottom of it… up until Dr. Stevens sneaks up behind him and screws it all up for him (and us!) I also think her final line to Jack had some meaning behind it: "You should talk to someone".
So the big question becomes why would the island want to put Jack under? And the only answer to that, I think, is because it needed to communicate with him in a way it normally couldn't. Sleep wouldn't do it, the island needed Jack under under… perhaps to get to him on a future level. Week one of this season I took a lot of heat for suggesting that Abbaddon was the smoke monster coming to see Hurley. Yet this episode it's no coincidence that a smoke detector goes off right before Jack sees his father. The island IS influencing the flash-forwards, just as I've always suspected it's been influencing the flash-backs. Hell, I'm so confused I don't know what's past, what's present, or what's future anymore. Maybe in the circular world of LOST, it's all the same.
Last big point here would be the story Jack tells to Aaron. "I wonder if I've been changed in the night? Let me think… Am I the same when I got up this morning?" Is Jack now somehow changed? If so, when? After the operation? After leaving the island? After the plane crash? Hell, the entire SHOW begins with Jack waking up. "If I'm not the same the next question is: who in the world am I? That's the great puzzle". It sure is. Especially considering the cryptic meaning of Jack's tattoo: "He walks amongst us, but he is not one of us". Seems that Jack is Alice and the island is Wonderland.
Jack and Kate have some interesting home décor
While the rest of you were watching Jack maul Kate's fine little panty-covered ass, I was checking out the strange painting on the wall behind them (that's not to say, of course, that I didn't re-wind that part and ogle Kate's ass also). At first glance it looks like a small sailboat on a big sea. But looking again, I see a dark figure on a winding white road, surrounded by a white circle (Jacob, imprisoned by ash?) On the right side of the painting is a similar circle, but this one is dark. There's no corresponding white figure inside it, so it looks like something got out (Jacob, free of the ash?). Maybe I'm stretching here.
Aside from its Dharma-shaped base, Aaron's mobile has six planets – one for each of the O6. It has six stars too, reminding me sharply of a very old but cool theory that the crash survivors were all gods and they had corresponding constellations and/or stars. The fridge art includes a shark and a house surrounded by snow – same exact stuff as was hanging behind in the Santa Rosa asylum. It's safe to assume Aaron didn't make them, and it would be pretty strange for Hurley to give them away as gifts during one of his friend's visits. To me this just lends more and more credibility to the idea that the island's consciousness is not unlimited, which is why everything is always being recycled.
The map on the wall during Kate/Jack's argument might be one of the maps from Jack's apartment in last season's finale. Come to think of it, the center 'planet' in the aforementioned mobile doesn't look like a planet at all, but more like a plotting wheel to calculate flight plans. There was one of those in Jack's apartment too. Another painting on the wall in that scene depicted a man and a woman sitting in a café, which made me think immediately of Desmond's meeting with Libby. Screenshots of that scene don't match up at all, so I tossed that idea out. Then it looked to me like they were both going over lists! That idea was shot down when I realized they were probably reading menus. J At this point I realized I was grasping for straws, so I disregarded the little red light that blinks on in the corner of the room behind Jack's head when he says "I'm the one who saved you" as camera equipment.
See ya Claire
Claire's vision of her shared dad forces her down the same path as Jack, wandering off into the jungle. A sort of reverse baby-napping occurs here, as Claire vanishes and Aaron is left safely on the palm fronds. Miles seems to have seen Christian, which would be important, but not as important as if someone else had seen him. Considering Miles gift to commune with the dead, it would be less of a stretch in the storyline. Then again, at this point who hasn't seen Christian Shepard?
The view of Sawyer calling for Claire in the jungle was dark and shadowed in a way we've never really seen before. We could've easily been looking through the smoke monster's eyes here, or even Jacob's. It reminded me a little of when Eko was killed, and the whole scene was shot with vibrant greens and darker blacks. The smoke monster was present then, too.
Mirrors, Reflections, Shadows, Duality
This episode contained an abundance of duality, all related to Jack. From the opening scenes Jack was mirrored in the bathroom, looking back at a reflection of himself. Later on he makes Kate hold a mirror so he can watch the procedure, and begins to lose sight and freak out when her hand falters. During his consult with Ms. Berenberg, Jack is noticeably reflected in the walls of the hospital. And as he walks through the corridors of Santa Rosa, he is reflected perfectly in the floor.
I also noticed that Jack cast two shadows, in at least two different scenes. When Jack is speaking with Hurley, the lighting seemed overly intentional. Watch him cast a double shadow as he gets up to leave. Also check out the scene where Jack climbs up to remove the smoke detector. Jack's double shadows do some very strange things there, especially with his arms.
Hurley – The rain on Jack's parade
Finally, we were shown Jack's post-island turning point this episode. The catalyst to his downfall had nothing to do with Kate, or Jack's misguided assumptions that he was once again being two-timed. Instead, it was Hurley.
Everything is perfect for Jack until Hurley pees in his soup. Kate's been acquitted, work is going well, and Aaron hasn't been kidnapped in years. He's clean-shaven. Adorable panties litter his bedroom floor. Things are looking up… until Hurley's tales of speaking with dead Charlie sharply remind Jack as to who he is and where he's come from. Mentally and perhaps even physically, the island looms over everything and will not go away. One by one it shatters the illusion of heaven that Hurley refers to. It happened to him, it happened to Sayid, and it happens to Jack now too, as we know the only future that exists for him is a downward spiral of jealously, drugs, and alcohol.
From this point on, everything changes. When Jack tells Kate he thinks Hurley is crazy, he doesn't believe it. If he fully believed it he wouldn't be staking out the bench on the lawn outside the hospital. And once Jack starts believing in Hurley, it's a one-way trip. Because as we know, belief is everything when it comes to LOST.
Next week's preview looks unbelievably awesome.

GIANFRANCO ZOLA'S sharp-shooters went on a spree on a day of Elland Road
Leeds lost Jamaican hitman Rudolph Austin to a sickening leg injury seven
minutes into the second half.
And that left them down to NINE men as Jason Pearce was sent off just
before the interval and they had used all their substitutes.
Watford chief Zola said: "Of course I feel so very sorry for the Leeds player
who was badly injured."
Distressed Leeds boss Neil Warnock admitted: "I probably shouldn't be saying
this but I am not bothered about this defeat.
"But I am devastated about Rudy's injury. He has broken his leg in two places
and will be sidelined for at least six months.
"Rudy's injury puts the whole thing into perspective. Leeds have lost a
football match but a player has lost his livelihood for months and our
thoughts are with him, his wife and family.
"My players were distraught after the accident happened."
Austin, 27, was hurt in a sickening collision with two defenders.
Leeds centre-back Jason Pearce had already been sent off for a lunge at
Hornets striker Matej Vydra on the stroke of half-time.
By then Watford were already a goal up after Czech hitman Vydra sprang the
offside trap on 28 minutes.
But it all went horribly wrong for the Yorkshire outfit after Pearce's
sending-off as Watford weighed in with five goals after the interval.
Almen Abdi claimed the Hornets' second on 61 minutes before Mark Yeates buried
a 20-yard free-kick to put his rampant team 3-0 ahead after 75 minutes.
Michael Tonge pulled one back for Leeds from the penalty spot five minutes
later after a foul by Joel Ekstrand on Luke Varney.
But Watford were in no mood to show any mercy as Vydra wrapped up his second
and his side's fourth on 83 minutes.
Then subs Sean Murray and Troy Deeney both notched inside 10 minutes of
stoppage time to complete United's humiliation.
Warnock did not dwell too long on football matters but he did blast
man-in-the- middle Trevor Kettle for his decision to dismiss Pearce.
He snapped: "The referee and his linesman were 55 yards away from the
incident, yet still decided Jason's challenge was a sending off.
"Yet Jason went into an honest challenge — his feet did not leave the ground
and he has not gone over the top.
"So, as a manager, I find that decisions by the officials are very difficult
to accept."
Zola had plenty to cheer though. He added: "I am delighted with my side's
performance and this win.
"We needed a confidence boost and this will provide it. We are a young side
with lots of potential and I don't know what we might end up achieving this

Climate Change: Past, Present and Future. Warm up:. Sketch a graph (Global Temperature vs. Time) for the past 20,000 years and predict how climate has changed Predict two reasons as to why climate change has occurred . The Climate is Always Changing. How does the Climate Change?.

Regions at the equator are exposed to the same amount of sun yearly, so they do not experience the four seasons
Because the Earth is tilted 22.5 degrees, in some seasons, Earth's polar regions are exposed to the sun's light 24-hours per day.
This is called the "The Midnight Sun"
We saw on our graph that global ice ages and warming periods occurred… how did this occur?
We will learn about four mechanisms for global climate change…
Borehole data
Borehole data are direct measurements of temperature from boreholes drilled into the Earth crust. Departures from the expected increase in temperature with depth (the geothermal gradient) can be interpreted in terms of changes in temperature at the surface in the past. These changes in temperature have slowly diffused downward, warming or cooling layers meters below the surface.
The image to the right is a borehole drill.
Glacier Lengths
A study of glacier length over time indicates the change in temperature. Scientists have recorded the activity of 169 glaciers from around the world. A glacier that is becoming longer is growing due to accumulation of snow. A glacier that is receding is loosing mass. Most glaciers world wide are showing similar loss of mass.
The image, above, is an aerial view of glaciers.
Fossilized Pollen
All flowering plants produce pollen grains. Their distinctive shapes can be used to identify the type of plant from which they came. Pollen grains are well preserved in the sediment layers of ponds, lakes or the ocean. An analysis pollen grains in each layer tell us what kinds of plants were growing at the time the sediment was deposited. Inferences can then be made about the climate based on the types of plants found in each layer.
The image right, shows features of pollen spores from the Florida Everglades (USGS)
Ice Cores
Located high in mountains and the polar ice caps, ice accumulates from snowfall compressed over many thousands of years.
Scientists drill through the deep ice to collect ice cores that contain dust, air bubbles, or isotopes of oxygen, that can be used to interpret the past climate of that area.
Shown above is a section of an ice core taken on the Clark Glacier in the McMurdo Dry Valleys. A 160-meter core was extracted to study the climate in the area over the past 2,000 years.
Tree Rings
Since tree growth is influenced by climatic conditions, patterns in tree-ring widths, density, etc, reflect variations in climate. In temperate regions where there is a distinct growing season, trees generally produce one ring a year, and thus record the climatic conditions of each year. Trees can grow to be hundreds to thousands of years old and can contain annually-resolved records of climate for centuries to millennia.
Shown at right is a cross section of a young conifer
Corals build their hard skeletons from calcium carbonate, a mineral extracted from sea water. The carbonate contains isotopes of oxygen, as well as trace metals, that can be used to determine the temperature of the water in which the coral grew. These temperature recordings can then be used to reconstruct climate when the coral lived.
Shown above are two sections of a coral core from the Galapagos. The cores are x-rayed so scientists can see the growth bands. Next, segments are marked for sampling: black lines represent annual bands, blue and red lines subdivide the year into quarters. The core is then cut along the lines and the individual segments analyzed in a laboratory .

Inbound marketing is about offering something so good that your customers come to you… But it only works if they know the way to get there.
Google Analytics eCommerce tracking sheds some valuable light on this issue, including which channels are most useful for traffic or conversions, which times are best for posting, and whether or not your advertising campaigns are working.
In our previous piece, we talked about how to use Google Analytics eCommerce tracking to create the best possible content by discovering your audience's particular tastes. Now, we're going to explain how to use it to optimize where your traffic comes from: streamlining the most successful avenues, and weaning away from those less effective.
Let's start with your content strategy efforts, and how Google Analytics eCommerce tracking can improve your social media.
Google Analytics and Social Media
Always a step ahead, Google Analytics eCommerce tracking makes it easy to check which social media channels serve your site best. All you have to do is go to Acquisitions > Social > Overview to get started.
The circular graph at the top shows how much influence your social media platforms have over your overall success. The greater circle shows total conversions from any medium, while the smaller circles show, proportionally, how many of those conversions were influenced by social media. The smallest circle shows how many of the conversions came directly from social media ("Last Interaction") versus those that still entered through social media, but hopped around a bit before converting.
You can get more detailed information by going to Acquisitions > Social > Network Referrals, or by clicking on "view full report" in the bottom right corner of the Overview page. This brings up a chart that shows each social channel's individual statistics, calculating the averages for the pageviews and time on site from everyone that comes that specific channel. You'll also see comparative charts of social media traffic against traffic on the whole.
Depending on your content strategy goals, you may be less concerned about the volume of traffic, and more about actual conversion rates. For that data, go to Acquisitions > Social > Conversions.
This page shows how much money each social channel is responsible for, as well as giving a flat figure for the number of conversions. Remember that different social media platforms attract different types of people, so naturally you'll see different purchasing behaviors from the visitors they send. This page shows beyond a shadow of a doubt which social media channels have the best Return on Investment (ROI) for you.
The takeaway from all this is determining how much energy to devote to each individual social channel. Some brands see a higher ROI with Facebook, others with Twitter; this page shows you what kind of brand you are. And if you compare the data here to your own budget notes, you can calculate each social media channel's ROI to an exact percentage.
Another advantage Google Analytics eCommerce tracking gives social media performance is identifying the best times to post. The useful line chart shows presents the broad scope of which days, months, or seasons are most popular for social media referrals. You can also compare these spikes and troughs to what kind of content was presented to learn more about what topics your audiences prefer.
For a more hands-on approach to managing your site's social media performance, you can even check to see which times of day are better for social media engagements, referrals, and even conversions. Start by going to Acquisitions > Social > Network Referrals, and then add the Secondary Dimension of Time > Hour.
Google Analytics eCommerce tracking makes this as painless as possible, listing in descending order the hours of the day with the most engagement. This shows the best times to post at the top with the corresponding statistics so you know the exact extent of the timing advantage. Don't be alarmed by numbers like "20" or "17" in the hours column — Google Analytics eCommerce tracking just uses a 24-hour clock.
You can also see which kinds of posts visitors from each social media channel prefer. First, go to Acquisitions > Social > Landing Pages to see which of your pages are most effective as landing pages, in general. You can narrow down this data by adding the Secondary Dimension of Source.
Now, you'll see the same data chart, but each entry also mentions the referral source. Click on the Source column header to organize the entries by referral site, so you can learn what gets the most attention on which sites. This knowledge proves itself indispensable when it comes to choosing what to post on where: Google Analytics eCommerce tracking can teach you things like ebook promotions perform better on Facebook, or Twitter followers prefer infographics to blogs.
But social media isn't the only way for your brand to socialize. Let's take a look at the statistics for generating inbound traffic from all external sites, not just social media.
Monitoring Acquisitions from Non-Social Channels
Both advertising and backlinking (via guest posting/link exchanges) are viable, fruitful strategies for attracting new shoppers and improving your SEO. As in other areas, you want to decipher which avenues work better than others to maximize your ROI.
In Acquisition > Overview, you can see where all your traffic is coming from, divided into categories such as "Organic Search" and "Social." Keep this page in mind later when you reevaluate your SEO strategies, but for now let's focus on referrals.
To weed out the social media channels so you can focus only on external linking, go to Acquisition > All Traffic > Channels, and then click on the entry for "Referrals." This takes you to a separate data chart for external sites that aren't social media.
This page is perfect for monitoring and evaluating the strategies already in progress. The data here should be everything you need, mixing statistics from Acquisition, Behavior, and Conversions so you can make you decision based on whatever metric you deem most significant, be it number of visitors, time on site, or completed conversions.
This chart tells you which external sites and advertising campaigns to invest more energy into, whether buying more ads or increasing the frequency of your guest posts. Likewise, it tells you which under-performing avenues to abandon. If you recognize patterns in the success of your posts, you can also infer new avenues for external linking, i.e., if your ads do well on electronics review sites, you might consider buying adspace on a new electronics review site.
You may even discover new opportunities in sites you never even knew were linking back to you. For example, maybe your past customers are discussing you in a forum somewhere, or maybe a site reviewed one of your products without knowing. Bringing these unsolicited promotions to your attention allows you to take advantage of them, such as sharing their posts on your own social media or showing your gratitude by mentioning them in a post.
Beyond social media, advertising, and backlinking, there's still one more digital marketing trick that Google Analytics eCommerce tracking can benefit… email marketing.
Using Google Analytics for Email Marketing
Google Analytics eCommerce tracking can also observe the behavior of acquisitions through whatever email campaigns you have in place… although it does involve a couple of extra steps:
- Tagging the URL you use in your email campaigns
- Setting up a custom Segment
First, go to the Google Analytics Campaign URL Builder to create a new URL with a utm tag. Don't forget to insert "email" as the medium. Using this customized URL in your email campaigns allows Google Analytics to track whomever clicks the link while they browse your site.
Next, you'll have to specify a custom Segment to separate your email traffic from the rest. Go to the Overview for whichever of the main sections you'd like to peek in on: Acquisitions, Audience, Behavior, etc. Then, click the grayed out "Add Segment" box, next to the "All Users" options above the graph. In the new window, click on the read "+ New Segment" button in the upper left.
Under the Traffic Sources window, enter the information from the special utm tag in your email campaign. This isolates your email visitors from the rest of the flock, so you can examine their performance individually.
Like other content, you'll want to look for patterns in your most successful email promotions: content matter, the time sent, the frequency of all emails, size, etc. For eCommerce, you can see not only the best email conditions for inducing a sale, but also which types of products this segment is interested in for future emails.
Putting It All Together in Real Time
No matter what external promotion campaign you're running, whether social media, article exchanges, or bulk emails, you can check how it performs from the moment you launch it with the Real Time page. This is helpful whenever you post new content either on or off your site, but it is particularly useful for external resources that you can't monitor as closely as your own.
You can see for yourself by going to the Real Time section, which is itself divided into subsections for Behavior, Conversions, Traffic Sources, etc.
This displays the same categories of data as the rest of the Google Analytics eCommerce tracking tool, except filtered by what's happening at the moment. You can see who's on your site at any given time, where they came from, and track their journey, all as it's happening.
Real Time is ideal for temporal campaigns such as the social media posts, advertisement launches, guest posting, and email marketing mentioned above. Whenever you launch one of these digital marketing endeavors, you can start evaluating its success right away.
Essentially, Real Time reporting circumvents the waiting period for data collection. This is especially useful for social media, since some mediums like Twitter require multiple posts ever day.
In some cases, you may discover that one of your products or previously written posts coincide with a new trend, such as a relevant news event or emerging fashion. Monitoring Real Time activity is the fastest way to take notice, so you can give the piece extra attention, such as featuring it on your home page. Compare the swiftness of Real Time reports to checking the overall analytics reports at the end of the month, after the tipping point of the trend has already passed.
Unrelated to external acquisitions, but still worth mentioning here, you can also conduct rudimentary A/B testing through Real Time — as long as your site has a high volume of traffic. You can switch out an element on your site with a new, more experimental option and watch the data roll in. The appeal of Real Time for this is that it minimizes the risk; you only need to let the variable element stay live for a short period of time — even a few minutes if your traffic is large enough — so if it's unsuccessful, whatever losses you suffer will be short lived.
While Google Analytics eCommerce tracking is designed to give you insights on your own site's performances, it's well aware of the influence external sites have. The Acquisitions data reports are the next best thing to illegally spying on your friend.
What do you find most helpful in the Acquisitions section of Google Analytics? Do you have your own workaround design hacks to find even more useful data about your site? Tell us below in the comments section now.

NSF Dear Colleague Letter
Title: Information Technology Workforce
Dear Colleague, The Federal government plans to increase its investments in fundamental, long-term research in information technologies (IT), encouraging, in particular, research spanning information technology and scientific applications, and in the area of social, ethical and workforce issues. To help ensure that the United States continues its worldwide leadership in IT, we need to strengthen the technological workforce and to produce a continuous supply of well-trained high-quality professionals in engineering and computer and information science (President's Information Technology Advisory Committee Report,
). Without an IT workforce that is large enough to meet both the public and private sectors' growing demand, and that is adept at using and producing information technologies, we surely risk losing the scientific, economic and human resource advantages we now enjoy. In this respect, the under-representation of women and minorities in the IT workforce is a serious national problem. There is agreement among some of the nation's leading researchers and scientists that systematic research efforts are needed to address this problem. Hence, the National Science Foundation is announcing a new special emphasis on the IT workforce (ITW)
that will support a broad set of scientific research studies focussed on the under-representation of women and minorities in the IT workforce.
Research Goals
ITW welcomes proposals that address important research questions related to the under-representation of women and minorities in the IT workforce. While there is no consensus on a single definition of the IT workforce, we encourage researchers to carefully articulate and justify their own definition of the IT workforce model. A suggested, but not exhaustive, list of possible research questions is included in Appendix A. These research topics revolve around three basic themes:
Environment and Culture:
How the environment, culture and other social contexts (e.g., households, neighborhoods, communities) shape interest in IT, and how interest in and use of IT shapes the environment, with particular emphasis on increasing our understanding of developmental issues at different ages.
IT Educational Continuum
: Understanding how the overall educational environment influences students' progress along the educational continuum from grade school to entry into the workforce, and why students who have the potential to succeed in the study of IT disciplines take educational paths that preclude or make it difficult to enter the IT workforce.
IT Workplace
: Why women and minorities who have the potential to succeed in the IT workforce take alternative career paths, what barriers and obstacles they must overcome, and how the IT workplace can foster increased retention and advancement of women and minorities.
Multi-disciplinary collaboration among researchers in IT, the social sciences, and education is strongly encouraged. Research can address issues at the individual level, at the societal level, at the institutional level, or across levels of analysis. All proposals should take into consideration existing relevant research on the IT workforce. Small projects (one to two investigators) as well as medium-sized multi-site team projects (three to five investigators) will be supported. ITW encourages research using a variety of methods. These include tools design, development and experimental evaluation, simulation and modeling, survey analysis, statistical models, ethnographic work to test models, case studies, and the development of new methods for understanding increasingly complex processes and dynamics of transformation. Formal meta-analysis methodologies across previous studies and intervention programs will be supported in order to build on the results of earlier work and to add to the research base. ITW will also support the analysis and assessment of existing information tools and technologies and their possible differential uses and implications for Women and Minorities in IT. It will also support the design, development, and assessment of prototypes of new information tools and technologies that will benefit women and minorities in IT.
Proposals may be submitted by any organization eligible for NSF support as reflected in the
Grant Proposal Guide
(GPG). Multi-disciplinary collaboration between researchers in IT and the social sciences is strongly encouraged.
Proposal Preparation Instructions
Proposals submitted in response to this Dear Colleague Letter should be prepared and submitted in accordance with the general guidelines contained in the
Grant Proposal Guide

Award Information
Proposals submitted explicitly in response to this Dear Colleague Letter will be considered for funding as well as proposals that fit the criteria of ITW but which are submitted to other programs, divisions or directorates. ITW awards may be funded for up to 3 years and will generally range from $75,000 to $250,000 per year. Depending on the availability of funding, between 15 and 25 proposals may be selected for support per funding cycle.
Ruzena Bajcsy
Assistant Director, CISE
Theme 1: Environment and Culture
Given the relative newness of computing technologies in the world today and the strong demand for skilled IT workers in the US, why are women and minorities underrepresented in various sectors of the IT workforce?
How does access to computer technology affect interest in IT careers?
What role does socialization play in the development of individual attitudes, stereotypes, aspirations, educational and career choices related to IT? Do expectations and ethnic values transmitted through family, peers, teachers, and role models influence educational and career choices related to IT?
How does popular culture through media, toys, games, and the entertainment industry influence educational and career choices related to IT?
What are the design principles for information tools and technology that encourage and support the interest and participation of women and minorities in IT?
How do household investments in IT education and equipment for children affect the choices these children make later in life?
Theme 2: IT Educational Continuum
Why do students who have the potential to succeed in the study of IT disciplines take educational paths that preclude or make it difficult to enter the IT workforce?
How does the overall educational environment influence such students' progress along the educational continuum from grade school to entry into the workforce?
The importance of taking appropriate courses in mathematics and science has long been recognized as an integral part of preparation for IT careers. Why are minorities still under-represented in the study of mathematics and science? What role is played by counselors, teachers, and parents in aptitude identification and encouragement of students to persist in studies necessary for IT?
IT is increasingly being integrated into K-16 education. What is the impact on women and minorities of efforts to provide access to and general use of computers in K-16 education?
The traditional focus of entry level computer courses is on programming with extensive work in computer laboratories, and with sequential course prerequisites. What is the impact on women and minorities, of different teaching methods and learning styles in IT education?
What is the impact of the perception of relevance and social benefit of computing in attracting and retaining women and minorities?
A variety of information technologies are used in educational settings. What role do they play in attracting and retaining women and minorities in IT?
Are there common characteristics among women and minorities with advanced degrees in IT that explain their persistence and success in IT fields?
There are a number of intervention programs in place designed to attract and retain women and minorities in IT disciplines. What are the effects of interventions on the retention and success of women and minorities in IT?
There are many ways of mentoring students, faculty and workers in the IT fields. What are the effects on the retention and success of women and minorities in IT, of the different mentoring models and strategies? How should issues of replication, scalability and delivery be addressed?
How can educational institutions be structured and managed to ensure diversity? What is necessary to attract and retain women and minorities as IT faculty? Is there knowledge to be gained from multidisciplinary studies across fields such as engineering, medicine and law, by comparing models of intervention that have been successful in attracting and retaining women and minorities?
The rapid and continuing changes in the IT work environment fuels the need for IT workers to participate in lifelong education, training and self-development. What is the appropriate balance among these?
Theme 3: IT Workplace
Why do women and minorities who have the potential to succeed in the IT workforce take alternative career paths? What barriers and obstacles must be overcome?
How can the IT workplace foster increased retention and advancement of women and minorities?
Do quality of life issues related to IT careers such as burnout, long workdays, and lack of social interaction influence retention and career mobility of women and minorities in the IT workforce?
How do evaluation, reward structures and family-friendly practices impact the retention of workers in the IT workforce?
Do stereotypes and the status of the IT profession affect the recruitment and retention of women and minorities into IT careers? What are the effects of traditional and non-traditional entry and career paths on retention and career mobility? What are the formal qualifications and desired characteristics of IT workers that are necessary to be successful in IT occupations? How do degrees (or lack thereof) impact career paths and advancement? Do the desired characteristics fit men more so than women, non-minorities more so than minorities?
Prior empirical work has shown that market as well as environment and culture influence students' and professionals' career choices. What can be learned from investigations of the IT labor markets that might explain the under-representation of women and minorities in IT?

Simon's IT background spans some 30 years as an IT consultant specialising in IS/IT strategy planning, information management, corporate data and process modelling, business process reengineering, software selection and project management. He has worked in IT organisations that include Solidsoft, Microsoft, Sun Microsystems, Forté Software and Redfern Consulting where he has built up a reputation for his ability to provide translation between the business and IT worlds. He has also worked for a variety of industry and service based organisations including: Cadbury Schweppes, PITO, British Airways, Glaxo and Scottish Widows. He has done pro-bono work for a major UK music charity. Simon joined Bloor in 2007 and now holds the Process and Sensory Devices brief.
Business Process refers to the way in which business processes can be modelled, simulated, managed, monitored and reused. It encompasses methods, techniques and tools to design, enact, control, and analyse operational business processes involving humans, machines/devices, organisations, applications, documents and other sources of information. Within this domain is the monitoring of movements of people and objects through RFID and other sensory devices (bar codes, SCART, photo-electric cells); this is not only in terms of the hardware - passive and active tags, readers and printers with their appropriate standards - but also the software, middleware and applications including real time location systems (RTLS) and ePedigree (Pharmaceutical sector). Business processes are also implemented as application packages; Simon's interest therefore extends to application solutions in vertical sectors such as manufacturing (particularly PLM, SCM, EDI), environment management and health and safety.
Simon's areas of specialism gained from his wide-ranging manufacturing, BPM and RFID experience, extend to being well-versed in the concept of agile manufacturing, the use of web services in manufacturing, the use of virtualisation within supply chains, the issues in the construction industry around gaining better control of equipment and raw materials, and health and safety.

It's rare for a brand to be as cool as James Dean.
But then again, Menguin isn't just any brand. They're a tuxedo rental site on a mission: Making it easy for men to look suave as hell, without having to go talk to a sleazy salesman. With a clear point of view and tone of voice, this is a brand that knows where it's going.
So when the folks at Menguin asked us to create a video explaining their uber-convenient online rental process, we knew it had to be special. It had to be helpful, it had to be beautiful… but it also had to be just a bit too cool for school.
With a mix of high-end, textured motion graphics and bold line art, we think we hit this nail right on the head.
So you're about to rent from Menguin. But how does it work? Simple:
First, build your look. Pick your suit or tux, then customize with all the accessories you can handle.
Next? Get fitted. We'll ask you for your sizes, and walk you through how to find them. Then we crunch the numbers using our fit algorithm to double check your measurements using millions of data points.
We'll ship to you 10-12 days out, so you'll get your tux about a week before your big event.
If anything doesn't fit quite right – call us 24/7 and we'll ship you a FREE replacement right away from one of our 6 distribution centers.
Finally? You wear it. Look great in it. Dance in it, get married in it, make…(pause)…memories in it.
Then toss it back in the box, slap on our prepaid label and send that bad boy back our way.
We've done this. thousands of times. flawlessly. So…let's do it again. This time: for you.

What To Expect
We typically do not buy books in cash, rather we offer store credit.
Most books in our shop are priced between $3 and $7. Typically, you can expect to get $.50- $2 in store credit for good condition books we need. If your book is rare and more valuable, we can work out a higher credit or cash price. Many books that you bring in will be great books that we just can't use. Please don't take it as a judgment on your taste-- it's a shelf space issue!
If you have more than one box of books, please try to bring them on a weekday. We won't turn books away if it's the only day you can come, but we would strongly prefer not to take in large numbers of books on Saturdays.
If you do not want to drag your books in, feel free to snap a few photos of the spines and email them to jeanenne.petri@gmail dot com.
What We Typically Don't Take
- encyclopedias;
- reader's digest & Time Life series
- most popular romance, mystery and crime thrillers (Patterson, Cornwell, Grisham, Brown, Twilight, etc.) unless it is the most recent book.
- mass market (pocket size) paperbacks;
- former library books;
- most children's books. If you just want to donate them, we will put them in our free kids bin.
- books that have been exposed to water or smoke or heavily creased or soiled.
- Hardcover books missing the dust jacket;
- magazines, videos, CDs
- Textbooks: We can usually only re-sell them if they are the most recent edition.
Trade Credit Policies
We'd love to take all your books and give you all the books you want for them. Unfortunately, the fine folks at the electric and gas company won't trade with us too! To help us convert your trades into the cash we need to keep the lights on, we've implemented the following trade credit policies, which can be summarized in two simple rules: we can't trade your used items for our new items and we can't trade our high demand books for books that have less customer demand. Easy enough, right? Here's the specifics:
- Trade credit can only be used to purchase used books. Items that cannot be purchased with trade credit includes gift items (e.g. bags, tiles, mugs), stationary & cards, games, food & drinks and clothing. Books being sold on consignment, current best sellers and used books from our rare, signed & collectible cases are also excluded.
- Trade credit is valid for one year from date of issue.
- Books left in the store for evaluation for trade credit that we don't purchase must be picked up within one week of notification of the credit issued. Books that are not picked up will be donated to the Goodwill or Salvation Army.
- Trade credit slips are transferable. Can't use it within a year or discarding books before a move? Give it to a friend.
- A credit slip must be presented to redeem credit. Slips that have been altered or are damaged to the point of illegibility are not redeemable.
- We reserve the right to refuse any book brought in for credit.
- Books purchased with trade credit do not earn punches on our frequent buyer punch cards.

Former seafront holiday flats are to be converted into a rehabilitation centre for drug and alcohol addicts despite objections from people living nearby.
Blackpool Council's planning committee has approved the use of the former Gables holiday apartments on Queens Promenade as a residential centre for up to 17 patients.
A petition signed by 87 people objecting to the scheme had been submitted, with residents raising concerns the holiday area was not the right place for a dependency unit.
Chris Barker, of Wolverton Avenue, whose home backs on to the Gables, told the meeting: "I feel this development shouldn't happen for many reasons.
"But one is that is does not sit well with what Blackpool is about.
"I know there are a lot of people with drug and alcohol problems in Blackpool, but trying to move the problem to a residential area is not right."
Neighbouring hoteliers had also warned the Promenade was not the right place.
But councillors said the patients would be paying in the region of £3,000 for 10 days treatment which demonstrated they wanted help and so were unlikely to cause disruption in the surrounding area.
Coun Martin Mitchell said: "The people have put themselves forward to receive care, at a cost of around £3,000 for 10 days care.
"They obviously want to undertake the treatment and there will be one-to-one care, and I think we should support this."
Coun Tony Brown said he was concerned about parking, especially at busy times such as the Illuminations.
Ocean Recovery, which will be running the centre, has an existing centre in Watford which charges £3,495 for a 10-day stay.
The unit would be staffed 24 hours a day.
Planning officers had recommended the application for approval.
They said that part of Queens Promenade was quieter and thus suitable for the proposed use.
The report adds: "As such, no conflict between the proposed use and the surrounding holiday accommodation uses is anticipated."

Strange Culture Trailer (2007)
19 January 2007 Factual 75 mins
Strange Culture is a 2007 documentary film directed by Lynn Hershman Leeson. It stars Tilda Swinton and Thomas Jay Ryan. It premiered January 19, 2007 at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival. The film examines the case of artist and professor Steve Kurtz, a member of the Critical Art Ensemble (CAE). The work of Kurtz and other CAE members dealt with genetically modified food and other issues of science and public policy. After his wife, Hope, died of heart failure, paramedics arrived and became suspicious when they noticed petri dishes and other scientific equipment related to Kurtz's art in his home. They summoned the FBI, who detained Kurtz within hours on suspicion of bioterrorism.

This impressively researched and beautiful photographed book by Derry Brabbs presents a detailed insight into Britain's grandest, most varied and most important river. The journey downriver from the source to the sea is intercut with thematic chapters on tributaries, locks and boating, and periodically deviates away from the riverbank to feature some of the historic towns and villages within reach of the Thames, including Farringdon, Oxford, Wallingford, Windsor and Kew. Taken through the seasons and in all conditions, Brabbs' photographs often combine atmospheric landscape with architecture to create a timeless sense of history. This book will appeal to anyone exploring the Thames either on foot, by boat, or by car and will be treasured both by visitors and those who live by the river.

Orange Nassau has his first start for Charlie Longsdon having already had 14 runs over fences in France. He might struggle to keep tabs on FIRST FANDANGO, who tackled decent opposition in his first two starts over the larger obstacles before easily justifying short odds at Fakenham. Tim Vaughan's six-year-old should be too good for these. Camden won over 2m4f at Plumpton but then fell at the last when well beaten in a handicap at Fakenham and has a bit to prove now. John's Gem won over hurdles at Plumpton last month but may need today's experience and Isthereadifference has shown little so far under Rules, though has won a point-to-point.

Some times you just want to make something quick and easy right? These vanilla cupcakes with a lemon buttercream is the answer. It's also the perfect time to make them, with everyone staying at home with all the cold weather. The lemon buttercream is bound to add some brightness into these cold dreary days. I'm lucky to escape the cold here in Dubai, but I definitely feel for y'all out there braving the cold!
I made a simple batch of vanilla cupcakes that were super moist and soft. I wanted to keep the flavor of the cupcakes fairly simple to let the buttercream shine. For the lemon buttercream, I first made some lemon curd that I mixed into the buttercream. The end result was a tart yet creamy frosting that my husband and I kept licking off all day!
I've always been known to make great tasting desserts, just not never amazing in their presentation. I'm totally working on that for you guys. I wanted to frost the cupcakes similar to the way Sprinkles does theirs. Its simple and rustic. Just what this artistically challenged baker needs! 😉 The prettiest thing about these cupcakes are the little flecks of lemon zest that peek through the frosting. Top these cupcakes with berries and enjoy!
Lemon-Vanilla Cupcakes
- 2½ cups flour
- 2½ tsp. baking powder
- ¼ tsp. salt
- 1 stick of butter, at room temperature
- 11/2 cups sugar
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 2½ tsp vanilla
- 1¼ cups whole milk, at room temperature
- 2 sticks of unsalted butter, soft
- 3-5 cups of powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup lemon curd from here
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line two muffin tins with cupcake liners. Set aside.
- In a medium sized bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar until pale and smooth. Mix in the eggs, one at a time.
- Stir the vanilla into the milk.
- With the mixer on low speed, alternate adding the dry ingredients and the milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Fill liners about ⅔ of the way. Bake for 16-18 minutes or until a toothpick interred into one of the cupcakes comes out clean. Allow cupcakes to cool on a wire rack. Always cool 100% before frosting.
- Cream together the butter and powdered sugar, a cup at a time. Start with 3 cups and add more depending on how stiff you want it to be. Mix in the vanilla and lemon curd.

Offices are often diverse in size and occupancy therefore the level of comfort cooling will differ from company to company. To ensure a comfortable working atmosphere for staff, it is imperative that organisations asses their environment and act upon changes that could significantly improve productivity and morale.
Evaporative coolers are the leader in energy efficient cooling, making them the perfect 'green' solution for any office space. Proven to be 80% more resourceful than standard air conditioning units, Cosaf's evaporative coolers operate on 100% fresh air with no use of harmful refrigerant gasses.
Not only are companies saving massively on energy consumption but the endless benefits for staff and the surrounding environment is a huge incentive for any commercial premises. Evaporative coolers are also an excellent way to address environmental policies and provide cooling at a fraction of the cost of traditional refrigeration units.

A legacy is that which a person leaves behind to be remembered by. It is more than just the memory of a person's profession, successes or failures; it is the memory of the themes that governed that person's life.
The reality is that every single one of us will leave behind some sort of legacy when we are gone, whether it's the end of a season or our life as whole.
I believe the quality of the legacy we leave for the next generation is directly determined by how big we really believe God is.
If we choose to live a life that extends beyond just ourselves and beyond today, then we are showing a generation there is Someone big and grand Who is worth living and giving our lives for. In other words, the bigger God is to us, the bigger our legacy!
How big do you believe God is?

A&O's office move has left more than one partner with a headache.
Word has reached Tulkinghorn that the lighting in the firm's purpose-built headquarters is too bright, causing dozens of A&O's staff to complain of migraines.
The magic circle firm, which moved from Bank Street to Bishops Square at the end of last year, has had to employ an independent health and safety team to resolve the cerebral nuisance. So just how many A&O lawyers does it take to change a light bulb? Or should they get those priests in to exorcise the place?

Southgate - Mido will come good
Middlesbrough boss Gareth Southgate is confident he can get the best out of Mido.
Last Updated: 25/09/08 3:32pm
Middlesbrough boss Gareth Southgate is confident he can get the best out of Mido.
The 25-year-old has failed to settle anywhere during his career despite his obvious talent.
Boro are his eighth club and Southgate is convinced he can be the man to get the best out of Mido in the long-term.
"I can see why he might not have settled in the past - he is an emotional lad who wants to play football," said Southgate.
Fallen out
"The fact is certain managers might not have known how to deal with him and may have fallen out with him as a result of that.
"I hardly ever have fall-outs and it is very rare that I don't get along with people.
"I enjoy working with Mido. He has good opinions on the game and is an intelligent lad who wants to win and wants the team to do well."
Despite only moving to the Riverside last year, Mido was linked with a move away from the club with Wigan and Fulham both keen.
But Southgate insists there was never a doubt he might let the Egyptian go.
"I don't think he wanted to go anywhere," said Southgate.
"I think he just wanted to let me know how much he wanted to play."
Belgian interest
Meanwhile, reports in Belgium claim Boro have been scouting Standard Liege midfielder Steven Defour.
The highly-rated Belgium international is reported to have caught the eye of Boro during the recent European clashes with Liverpool and Everton.
It is now claimed Boro will scout him over the coming months with a view to mounting a January bid for the 20-year-old.

A guest post by Akili Dada Fellow, Grace Wanene, winner of the 2013 Google Innovation in Agriculture Award:
I am Grace, a young African woman, pumpkin farmer, environmental scientist, and communications professional who was born, raised and educated in Kenya. Between 2000 and 2004 I attended Loreto High School Limuru after which I proceeded to Egerton University, Kenya to pursue a Bachelor's Degree in Environmental Sciences. I graduated in 2010, eager to dive into a career in Kenya's environmental sector, only to find that jobs were few and far between. So, I began working as a freelance writer until July, 2011 when I decided to cofound a community-based organization in my home community, the Youth Agro-Environmental Initiative.
The Youth Agro-Environmental Initiative highlights opportunities within the agricultural sector/ agriculture value chain for young people between the ages of 18 and 35. The agricultural sector in Kenya has the capacity to absorb most if not all of the unemployed youth in Kenya, providing employment for the youth and food security for the country. Unfortunately lack of knowledge and expertise, capital and access to markets has limited the entry of young people into the agricultural sector.
The initiative's activities include agribusiness trainings as well as online and on-farm consultancy sessions targeted towards building agricultural expertise among the youth. Since 2011, the organization has held 10 agribusiness trainings and engaged over 1000 farmers providing them with information and expertise on agribusiness. The trainings focus mostly on high value crops such as mushrooms, strawberries and other horticultural crops.
In the next year, the organization hopes to train and provide consultancy services to over 1000 young aspiring and existing farmers. This will require holding about 50 trainings in the year at a cost of KES 22,500 ($281) each. We also hope to hold four young farmers conferences at a cost of 52,500 ($627). Finally, we are planning to introduce a young farmers market to facilitate market linkages for their farmers.
Connect with the Youth Agro-Environmental Initiative on Twitter and Facebook.

Just watch "Australia"posted on 07 Mar 2010 22:36 by pcichigo
Today, I just watch "Australia".
Good movie, very dramatic. I am almost crying out.
At first time, I thought it will be some kind of action and romance movie but after a few minutes when I saw too many bodies, I feel like, erm… it is another Romeo and Juliet movie? Somehow, I observe that many people do not like sad movies, they do not want to go out and watch those sad movies for sure, but if you already watch them, you just like them somehow. This is very interesting.
Well, let's talk about my SAI training today.
Look like I have to postpone again, I try to draw many pictures in the same paper to fill the blank, but today I only just finish half of them because it is a long hair characters picture which is very hard to draw (for me at least, ha ha).
So, look like I own my readers 2 pictures already, will try to pay back later.
Thank you.

- write a class, this class is like this:
when you create a object of this class, it will take a pair of chars as surrounding chars and any number of strings. it will put the surrounding chars to each string. and safe the result in a string as the state of the object.
for example, assuming the name of this class is Enclose,
then you can create an object of this class and provide surrounding chars like this:
obj = Enclose.new("<", ">", "i", "love", "you")
then the object will hold an instance variable (array) with this value:
["<I>", "<love>", "<you>"]
you can also reset the instance variable by calling
obj.set("<", ">", "i", "love", "you", "very", "much")
then the object will hold an instance variable with this value:
["<I>", "<love>", "<you>", "<very">, "<much>"]
then add an singleton method to this object, the method will reverse the order of the instance variable

HELSINKI, June 29 (Reuters) - Finnish pension insurance companies Ilmarinen and Etera will merge to form Finland's largest private sector pension insurer, the companies said on Thursday.
The new company will manage the pensions of more than 1.1 million Finns, with assets of more than 44 billion euros ($50 billion).
Both Ilmarinen and Etera boards have approved the merger plan, in which Etera will merge into Ilmarinen on Jan. 1, 2018.
Ilmarinen's Chief Executive Timo Ritakallio will continue as the CEO of the new company.
"The synergies achieved through the merger will benefit the clients of both companies ... Furthermore, thanks to the merger, the cost-effectiveness of the entire earnings-related pension insurance system will improve significantly and the sector's solvency will strengthen overall," Ilmarinen chairman Mikko Helander said in a statement.
Following the merger the companies will save an estimated 20 million euros annually in administrative costs.

Somewhere, right-wing politico – and champion for White America – Pat Buchanan is hiding in a closet. According to new census data – for the first time ever – minority births have surpassed white births in the United States. The minority population rose to over 36% - and is now projected to surpass America's white population by as early as 2040. This might explain the rush by Conservatives to pass radical anti-immigration laws that deny young Latinos an education and a job – as well as the rolling back of social safety net programs that lift minorities up giving them a shot at the American dream. White racists around the nation are seeing their privileged position in our economy under threat – and are working to keep surging minorities down.
Minority births have surpassed white births in the United States

Owned since new?
Owned for how long?
2 year(s)
Buy this make again?
Price and equipment8.0/10
You pay more but you're getting Honda quality and the rear-folding seats and storage space is better than top notch.
How it drives8.0/10
The Jazz whizzes around corners and is a pleasure to drive. The steering is light but with adequate feedback. Braking is touchy but you get used to it and can impress your friends with how smooth you brake if you let them drive it (and they bunny-hop up the road when braking).
Comfort and practicality8.0/10
This car is fantastic for its storage. The fold-down rear seats are incredible. If you're a smallish person you can even get inside and walk on them as you assist a heavy load into the car. There's room under the rear seats. The boot opening is big. I've fit a boxed home gym in there with room to spare. The suspension is very stiff and it isn't as comfortable a ride as some other small cars.
Servicing and running costs8.0/10
Service costs are lovely until you hit your 40,000km service, then be prepared to empty your wallet. Although running costs are tiny. I get 6.9L/100kms with mostly around town and about 30kms of highway driving a petrol tank, so that's doing well. With more highway driving it gets to the claimed 6.4L/100kms combined cycle rating.
Aesthetics and styling6.0/10
Not the most attractive car, but look past the exterior, and the functionality and versatility of this car will knock your socks off.
Safety and security6.0/10
The front pillar impedes vision for me at roundabouts, but otherwise the vision from this car is good. There is just the 2 front airbags, no others, so it's not as decked out as some of the other small cars.
Quality and reliability8.0/10
Honda is known for high quality. The Jazz does have a few rattles that can't be fixed by the service agents.
Overall verdict8.0/10
Highly recommended. A great small car that is more versatile than a large car. It has more leg room and storage space than a medium car and some large cars. It fits larger and longer items in it than a large car. Just a good little car with good fuel efficiency that will suit you whatever your needs.
