'Folia' is named for the Greek word meaning 'nest'. It's a fabulous holiday villa perched on a hill with sweeping views of Eagle Bay. Take a two-minute walk to the pristine beach and appreciate the surrounding natural parks, or a five-minute drive to a selection of vineyards in the famous Margaret River region. Snorkelling, scuba diving, surfing, whale-watching and beautiful underground caves are all at your fingertips with a 15 minute drive or less.
After tiring of these activities you might be relieved to return to the quiet villa and enjoy the seductive couches and panorama. Fill the birdbaths and watch the brilliant blue wrens and other native birds that come to frolic at sunset. Sleepy blue-tongued lizards commonly bask at the edge of the veranda and if you're an early riser you might even catch a kangaroo or two perusing the property at dawn. Don't forget to watch the sea though Whales frequently migrate through the bay and can be seen playing clearly from the house.
'Folia' fits up to 7 people, with two queen-sized bedrooms, two bathrooms and a mezzanine area for relaxed open plan living. The famously indulgent sofa bed has to be seen to be believed A spacious in-door kitchen, outdoor shower and barbecue make this house a delight to stay in and we hope one day you have as many fond memories of your stay there as we have.
"Anyone looking for a relaxing getaway in the South West should stay at Folia. I have stayed there more than once and each time I walk in the door the stress from the city and work is completely dissipated. The views are magnificent as is the open plan layout of the property. Its unique design makes it a truly delightful place to stay...I would recommend it to anyone"

EA allegedly considering two ways of re-introducing microtransactions into Star Wars Battlefront 2; Details
Nov 17, 2017 | 27 Comments
Thatgamecompany has confirmed that Journey will not be coming to PlayStation 4, just hours after mistakenly say it was. Responding to a fan on Twitter, the developer was asked if Journey would be coming to PS4 since it was already announced that Flower would be.
Misunderstanding the question, Thatgamecompany responded:
@GamingOblivion It is, but we don't have any details, as we're not involved with the developing or marketing of it.— thatgamecompany (@thatgamecompany) October 10, 2013
Hours after news of the tweet had spread, the studio took to Twitter again to clarify:
@Aussie_Legend Oops, was talking about Flower, not Journey. Looks like I misread @GamingOblivion's question. Sorry guys!— thatgamecompany (@thatgamecompany) October 10, 2013
False alarm, guys. Move along, move along.

Martin Estate
Rutherford, CA 94573
United States View map
MARTIN ESTATE produces an ultra premium balanced Cabernet Sauvignon. Not a cookie cutter wine that followes the herd, this is a wine for people that enjoy the taste of fruit versus heavy oak and high alcohol.
The massive pre-prohibition Chateau was built in 1887 by pioneer vintner Henry H. Harris. The winery, which is not open to the public, is located in Block B of the original Caymus Land Grant in the heart of Napa Valley's famous Rutherford Appellation. Martin Estate wines are estate grown, produced and bottled, and releases are limited to the yield of the eight acre first growth Puerta Dorada Vineyard that surrounds the Estate.
Award winning winemaker Aaron Pott is in charge of the state of the art winery and vineyard. The wines are terroir driven, reflecting the sense of place where they originated. "Do you know where your wine has been? " (R) And don't believe the map as that is not the correct location.

(Updated 22 Feb 2016)
Okay. So Beyoncé detonates a video the day before the Super Bowl: Formation. Ka-blam. Why do I care? I recruit technology executives for a living. And at the senior executive level: diversity matters. So when the Queen B weighs in with her vision, I pay attention. I bear witness to the viral effects that reach across the media landscape. For the many reasons detailed below, I believe her message will help shatter the glass ceiling.
She is Beyoncé: she will be heard.
While it may not be obvious, the ripple effects of media messaging in general are felt at the senior executive level. That's what study after study demonstrates. Having spent the first half of my career in television news, I've witnessed the power of the mass media first hand. As Red & Black notes:
Super Bowl 50 was the third most-watched program in U.S. history, a number that proves that the Super Bowl is not just about the sport, but the spectacle. And no one delivers more of a spectacle than Beyoncé Knowles-Carter.
Beyoncé and her husband Jay-Z run a $1 billion entertainment empire. When you are talking that much money, you have influence. When you entertain in the public eye, your every move can change the world."
I have updated this post to attempt to answer concerns raised by a reader:
So confused. I honestly see zero correlation between a pop star and her choreographer, and the day-to-day realities of being an executive of color and glass ceilings in the a business environment. #worstcomparisonever"
While the hashtag stung, the criticism seemed valid and called for further explanation:
Throughout history, artists have been outsiders. While they have entertained royal courts and today's version of royal courts — multinational corporations — they remain on the outside looking in. Beyoncé does not hold the power to affect change directly. She neither legislates nor writes regulations to change the diversity status quo. So the reader makes a good point. But as an artist, Beyoncé does hold the power to change how we feel, and in turn, how we think.
Having spent the past couple of decades married to a man who has performed with the most renowned rock stars in the world: I know pop icons hold the power to move people in ways that politicians do not. Music bypasses the thinking brain and goes straight to the the heart. Music enters the body through the hypothalamus, a portion of the emotional brain layer that receives stimuli related to emotions, sensations, and feelings. That's what makes the seemingly innocuous creative commentary by pop diva Beyoncé relevant.
Artists are not literal beings. They speak in metaphor. And when Beyoncé speaks, people listen. Formation has set off a chain reaction of diversity consciousness-raising that extends from the Formation debut to a New York Times review to an SNL sendup The Day Beyonce Turned Black to a freakin' brilliant Formation dance routine created by choreographer WilldaBeast Adams. Reaction continues to this day. For the most part, that's a good thing.
My daddy Alabama, Momma Louisiana. You mix that negro with that Creole make a Texas bama. I like my baby heir with baby hair and afros.
I like my negro nose with Jackson Five nostrils. Earned all this money but they never take the country out me. I got a hot sauce in my bag, swag "
The New York Times' Jon Caramanica weighs in with his review:
In "Formation," she returns to that city [New Orleans]; this time, she's in scenes that suggest a fantastical post-Katrina hellscape, but radically rewritten. She straddles a New Orleans police cruiser, which eventually gets submerged (with her atop it). And at the end of the clip, a line of riot-gear-clad police officers surrender, hands raised, to a dancing black child in a hoodie, and the camera then pans over a graffito: Stop Shooting Us.
This is high-level, visually striking, Black Lives Matter-era allegory. The halftime show is usually a locus of entertainment, but Beyoncé has just rewritten it — overridden it, to be honest — as a moment of political ascent."
Given the power of Beyoncé video, SNL pushed the diversity message further. If we need to learn to talk about racism — to talk it out — what better classroom than Saturday Night Live? Comedy, by definition, calls out racism for all its absurdities and contradictions. It is ripe for the pickin'.
And today's lesson brings us back to . . .Maya Rudolph. The daughter of soul producer Richard Rudolph and singer-songwriter Minnie Riperton who was African-American. Rudolph rose to prominence as a cast member on NBC's Saturday Night Live. On SNL, Maya not only does Beyoncé. She is Beyoncé.
Ultimately, Beyoncé's message is embodied in Willdabeast Adams' choreography that her Formation inspired. The dance routine, filmed and edited by Tim Milgram, was uploaded to YouTube just days ago. It already has
4,912,206 7,260,813 (updated) views. The dancers slay it.
Beyoncé's ripples wash across the media landscape. Her mashed up racial imagery — Black Panthers, #blacklivesmatter, Katrina — speaks to oppression born of slavery, segregation, police brutality and racial inequality in the criminal justice system, and the poverty cycle. Beyoncé went there because she can.
Spike Lee also went there — #oscarssowhite — in his boycott of the Oscars over lack of nominee diversity. A New York Times article covering the boycott referenced a study that showed how television lowers the self esteem of children with the exception of white boys. "Television was linked to lower self-esteem among black and white girls and black boys; white boys, however, reportedly felt better." A Los Angeles Times investigation found academy members — the people whose votes decide who wins the Oscars — skew heavily older, male and white. In fact, 94% were white. As a result of Spike Lee boycott — joined by Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith — The Academy is changing its rules on which members will be eligible to vote. The jury is still out on whether those changes will have an effect when voting has nothing to do with what movies get made, who gets cast to play starring roles, or who gets hired for other vitally important roles behind the scenes.
Again, what does this have to do with the day-to-day realities of being an executive of color and glass ceilings in the a business environment?
Good question.
I consider myself and executive feminist and diversity advocate. I do a lot of work helping companies boost diversity at the senior executive level. Still, somehow I failed to notice women are insanely under-represented in crowd shots in films, as detailed in a McKinsey video interview with actor Geena Davis. How could I have missed something so obvious. MS. Davis leads an organization that studies gender bias. She teaches us that we all carry unconscious bias. We can't help it. So this isn't about blame. The solution lies in becoming more aware of the biases within and outside ourselves. To that end, Formation is part of the solution.
Formation has sparked myriad conversations about racial parity. Despite what you think of the artist or her commentary, Beyoncé's video cannot help but be heard in the C-Suite. She may not lead a Fortune 100 company, but she comes in at #29 on the Forbes 2015 Celebrity 100 . That's Forbes, mind you, a magazine all about business. While Beyoncé does not hire senior executives to a traditional boardroom or C-suite, when she does hire she features an all female band because role models matter.
She holds the power to spark conversation, if not controversy. And in this long-tail world of ours, that's saying something. Her super-stardom signal breaks through through all the "white noise" out there. She is featured in myriad TV advertising campaigns — representing highly regarded consumer products that range from Pepsi to Samsung to L'Oréal. In other words, Beyoncé has coin and she makes coin for some of the most successful companies in the world. You and I know that's the kind of power CEOs everywhere recognize. That is why, inevitably,Beyoncé will be heard. It is why what she says has influence at the highest corporate levels.
Beyoncé gets that. She told us so:
Okay ladies, now let's get in formation, I slay
Okay ladies, now let's get in formation
You know you that bitch when you cause all this conversation
Always stay gracious, best revenge is your paper"

Uber's Application For Cab License In Delhi Rejected
03/06/2015 7:48 PM IST | Updated 15/07/2016 8:25 AM IST
Betwa Sharma Politics Editor, HuffPost India
NEW DELHI -- The Delhi government has rejected applications from cab aggregators Uber, Ola And TaxiforSure for permits to operate in the national capital.
The development comes as a setback for Uber and other operators who were banned in Delhi by the Union Home Ministry early this year following an alleged rape by an Uber cab driver in December, last year.
After staying off the roads for a few weeks, the companies started operating again. At the time, Uber said that it has applied for licenses to become a radio cab operator.

READ: Delhi Govt Asks IT Ministry To Block Uber, Ola Mobile Apps
Delhi does not have a regulatory framework that recognises app-based cabs.
The conditions to become a radio cab operator are onerous and would be virtually impossible for any app-based aggregator to meet. But The Hindu reported that the reason Delhi government rejected their applications is that they failed to affirm that they were complying with the January ban by the Union Home Ministry.
READ: Blocking Uber,Ola Websites Is Just Not Possible
READ: Uber Says It Won't Take Commissions From Drivers
In early May, the telecom ministry had asked internet service providers to block the websites of Uber and Ola, indicating a ham-handed attempt at clamping down on the services. The websites and services continue to be accessible.
READ: Uber Is Back On Delhi Streets, Transport Dept Says Will Impound
India is the largest market outside the United States for Uber, the San Francisco-headquartered tech giant that has disrupted taxi markets all over the world. Ola acquired TaxiforSure, earlier this year. But the two companies operate separately.

The Mariners won the game as a -110 pick'em, while the three runs went UNDER the posted over/under (6) set by sportsbooks.
Felix Hernandez allowed just three hits and one run over eight solid innings for the win, while David Aardsma closed out the ninth for his 30th save.
C.J. Wilson went the distance on the mound for the Rangers, while giving up six hits and two runs in the loss.

The Best Wildlife Viewing in Yellowstone
In addition to geysers, the exciting thing about going to Yellowstone National Park is the wildlife. There are the standard deer and chipmunks that you'd expect to see, but there is so much more. The bison were a real hit with our family… but then so were the bears just outside of our car window… and the elk walking through the parking lot… And wildlife in Yellowstone National Park is closer than you might expect and often not afraid of the millions of people they see every year, so there are lots of rules.
Following the safety chat (remember "safety first") we've highlighted our favorite places for the best wildlife viewing in Yellowstone. Having plenty of experience in the Park and beyond Yellowstone, these are our top three things to keep you safe from wildlife in Yellowstone National Park.
Safety Chat
Don't feed the bears
Really. If you research, you'll find funny pictures from the 50's of tourists feeding bears by hand out of their car window. It's ridiculous. This practice eventually led to the relocation and termination of many black bears from the park, as their behaviors and health were severely impacted…and they were cranky. Today, there are very strict guidelines regarding food storage and clean up.
Here's why we are calling this out: if you're planning on camping and picnicking in the Park, you must unpack and repack EVERYTHING except your sleeping equipment whenever you leave. Even with an efficient group of campers, this is a frustrating hassle, and if you don't do it right, you'll have an unplanned experience for wildlife viewing in Yellowstone.
What this means: 1.) wake up 2.) get out food, cooking equipment and utensils 3.) cook and eat 4.) clean up AND transport grey water to a dump station somewhere 5.) put EVERYTHING back in the car 6.) wipe down table and inspect for food residue 7.) go about your day. REPEAT AT ALL MEALS.
We absolutely love camping and are willing to go through this process over and over, but it really is a continual plague on the camping experience. We really feel that everybody should fully understand this before committing to camping in Yellowstone (or Glacier, Yosemite, Mt Rainier… and National Park).
Tip: having storage bins with lids is an efficient way to store meal prep stuff and dirty dishes (separate tubs). Doing this will make prep and clean up much faster and easier, having the last meal of the day be the one that includes the dish washing.
Picnicking with the bison
The American bison is the most iconic animal in the USA. Today, due to mass hunting in the 1800s, they are scarce and mostly found in Yellowstone and on farms. The safe haven of the Park has really allowed the bison to flourish and they are everywhere. True, there are a few key areas that you'll see them in abundance, but you have to watch wherever you stop.
**Fun anecdote: My favorite morning on our most recent trip was spent with the family doing picnic breakfast on the Yellowstone River, at the Nez Perce Ford. Sitting across the shallow river from us was a bull bison, watching us, enjoying his own breakfast. Having just watched several big guys ford the river not too far from there, we kept a wary eye on him. We stayed safe, but were ready to run at a moment's notice.
Tip: ask a ranger or use a park guide to find/select a picnic area. If you don't know where there is one, you might be driving for a long time.
Tip 2: we always have our portable Weber Q Propane BBQ with us and use it both in camp as well as on the road at picnic sites. It makes lunch more fun.
Tiny, furry poachers
Oh ground squirrels. So cute and so greedy. Chipmunks too. And let's add bold to their description. Know that if you're sitting on a bench or by your campfire, your snacks aren't safe. The smaller wildlife of the park is always watching, waiting to get a free meal. Know that human food isn't meant for the little guys and that they need to do their job in the forest ecosystem, so feeding them or allowing them to find your scraps offsets the delicate balance that is nature.
Tip: even looking away from food for too long will provide an opportunity for a ground squirrel to run up and grab your sandwich. They are bold.
Anecdote: picture a box of graham crackers and a shifty little raccoon running up, grabbing it and running off sideways, looking at us as he ran… #TrueStory
Wildlife Viewing in Yellowstone
We love spotting bears across a valley or watching a herd of elk in the distance, but in Yellowstone it's much more involved than that. While the overall rule is to not approach wildlife, sometimes it just approaches you, so here are the best places to safely experience this from your car (see map below for planning). Wildlife viewing in Yellowstone is that easy, but it still can be dangerous.
They love the hillsides where they can forage for berries and roots, so keeping an eye out in the Tower Falls and Mt Washburn areas are best. **Please note though, the bears aren't reading our blog, so they might choose other places to hang out too.
On our most recent trip, we were fortunate enough to see 6 black bears and 2 grizzlies. How we saw them:
Black 1/2/3 – in a field at the base of a hill. 100 yards away. Dusk.
Black 4 – on a hillside eating. 50 yards away. Midday.
Black 5/6 – Mama and cub on the hillside directly next to us. Couldn't get out of the car because they were right there. 5 yards away. Midday.
Grizzly 1 – in a field at the base of a hill. 200 yards away. Dusk.
Grizzly 2 – in a very small meadow next to the road. 10 yards away. Dusk.
Important identification note: bears can be black or blonde too, not just brown. Look for shoulder haunches, especially if you're alone and want to report a sighting back to the ranger station.
They are almost everywhere in the Park, but there are two guaranteed spots: the Hayden and Lamar valleys. Each of these is so very different. If you're traveling with kids, you'll probably just see the Hayden Valley, as you must drive through it to get to any of the fun stuff in the park (falls, geysers, boats…). If you have the time though, and want to do some hikes, the Lamar Valley is for you.
The Hayden Valley is beautiful and exactly what you think of when you picture a lush, wildlife populated area. The Yellowstone River slowly winds through the valley from the lake. On a gingerly evening drive one night, we encountered a bison herd (on all sides of us), saw a grizzly bear across the river, watched a pelican fish and saw a family of trumpeter swans float by. Truly, the type of experience to leave you awestruck.
The Lamar Valley is also beautiful and has a river, but its landscape is very different. The Lamar River has cut through this flat valley floor and left a variety of scattered bluffs and oxbow lakes. The vegetation is primarily deciduous trees and where there aren't trees, it is the rough and tumble prairie you've heard about in songs like Home on the Range (dry grass and tumbleweeds).
Tip: see our article on picnics in Yellowstone for some ideas of where to set up lunch and dine while viewing wildlife in Yellowstone.
While bison are all that we saw on our last trip through the Lamar, on previous visits we've also seen the wolf pack and several bears. The great thing about observing bison here is that there are many pullouts that allow you safe viewing distance and you're not stopping traffic. The Hayden Valley offers these too, but they are fewer and there are thousands more people. The Lamar Valley is a relatively empty retreat from the rest of the Park and it is well worth the extra time spent relaxing as the clouds roll by.
The rarest sight in the park, if you ask us, but that's just because we aren't as lucky as some. Moose tend to hang out in marshy areas and along rivers. On previous visits we've had great luck seeing moose in the Fishing Bridge and Lake areas, and also along the Yellowstone river at dusk. If you get the chance to sit and watch a moose for a while, they'll quickly become your favorite animal, both for their rarity and goofiness. This last trip to Yellowstone, we were skunked on the moose. We were fortunate to hit the jackpot though when we made it to Glacier National Park (see video here).
Know that for most wildlife viewing in Yellowstone, or any habitat for that matter, the early morning or dusk are the best times to see animals. That's especially true with moose. Who knows where they go during the day, but yeah, we have the most success at dusk.
Tip: if you have the time, Grand Teton National Park is a day trip just to the south. The Tetons are home to a larger moose population and they are statistically sighted more
frequently there. The scenery is really amazing, and so different from Yellowstone. It is an easy way to add some extra fun and two extra stamps in your National Parks Passport.
The only guarantee in Yellowstone, besides Old Faithful, is seeing elk. The Mammoth Hot Springs area is the easiest place to spot them, as they do just linger by the Hotel and Park Headquarters. This is usually the mamas and babies. The bull elk tend to be more centrally located. Our best experiences watching bull elk with enormous racks have been in the Canyon area, in the meadows and thin forest near the visitor center. I actually can't think of a Yellowstone trip where we haven't seen handsome, majestic bull elk here. I might even call seeing multiple bull elk together a guarantee…maybe. And not to waffle, but like I said, wildlife viewing in Yellowstone isn't a 100% spot on experience every day, but it is, but… just go see for yourself.
Yellowstone is a birder's paradise. We brought a good friend with us on our most recent trip and she was in bird heaven. We were fortunate to see pelicans flying, fishing and swimming, all very close to us. We got to experience a family of trumpeter swans, resting and then swimming off from very close. One morning we were lucky enough to have breakfast near a heron nest and talk with a group of researchers with a telescope who were documenting the heron family behavior. And there were so many wonderful song birds.
Tip: the Bridge Bay Visitor Center has an amazing collection of taxidermy birds. They also have bird checklists and guides to help spot the different species.
To see the cutest video ever: our oldest son telling a stranger about the taxidermy pelican family… and their two dads. It was adorable and he's adorable and, well, just watch the video.
Click the map below for a larger version. Please note that there aren't a lot of roads, but there sure are a lot of sites to stop at. When at the Park, ask for an Experience Planner for a more detailed map showing common sighting locations and picnic areas.
Besides what we've listed here, there is much more wildlife in the Park. What have you seen? Where did you see it? Share your experience and questions in the comments below or via email.

"It's strong, light, stealthy looking and we'd go as far as to say that perfection has nearly been achieved right here."
If you want to kit out your downhill or freeride sled with a bombproof set of components then there's not a lot that can rival Shimano's Saint. Specifically developed with gravity riders in mind, there has definitely never been any doubting the strength of Saint, nor the performance, but the Japanese masters have stepped it up yet agai n with refining tweaks made throughout their Saint range. The stand-out feature is of course the 'clutch' system on the rear mech, something that has absolutely revolutionised bikes in what seems like an instant since Shimano began to prototype it. Goodbye chain-slap and harsh noise, less chance of dropping a chain and a much longer life expectancy for the mech as it won't be smashing into the frame with every braking bump and big drop. The whole set-up loses a bit of weight too, mainly with the 'Hollowtech II' cranks, and Shimano are now clearly pitching this refined Saint at downhill racers. It's strong, light, stealthy looking and we'd go as far as to say that perfection has nearly been achieved right here. It's worth noting that a Saint flat pedal is also now available if you want to fully Saint your bike.

High Commission of India
Remarks by High Commissioner of India, Mr. Harsh Vardhan Shringla during the Ceremony to Welcome the Arrival of the First Container Ship (MV Nou Kollan operated by Riverline Logistics & Transport Ltd.) from Kolkata at Pangaon Inland Container Terminal (ICT)
Hon'ble Minister of Commerce, Bangladesh, H.E., Mr. Tofail Ahmed
Hon'ble Minister of Shipping, Bangladesh, H.E., Mr. Shajahan Khan
Hon'ble State Minister for Power, Energy & Mineral Resources, Bangladesh, H. E. Mr. Nasrul Hamid
Secretary, Ministry of Shipping, Bangladesh, Mr. Ashoke Madhab Roy
President, Federation of Bangladesh Chambers of Commerce & Industry, Mr. Abdul Matlub Ahmed
Mr. Mahboob Ahmed, Managing Director, Riverline Logistics & Transport Limited
Friends from the media
Ladies and gentlemen
Good Morning!
I am very happy to be here to welcome the arrival of the first container ship at the Pangaon Inland Container Terminal directly from Kolkata under the Coastal Shipping Agreement.
The agreement was signed during the visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Bangladesh in 2015.
The agreement allows direct sea movement of ships between the two countries.
It has greatly improved the connectivity between India and Bangladesh by reducing the shipping time from 30-40 days to 4-10 days.
It can also decongest the roads and Land Custom Stations through which most of the bilateral trade is taking place now.
The first cargo ship under this framework had sailed from Chittagong to Vishakhapatnam in March last year.
Today's event is significant as so far the movement of ships under the agreement was limited between seaports like Chittagong and Vishakhapatnam.
For the first time a ship carrying cargo has sailed from Kolkata to Pangaon which is just over 20 km from Dhaka.
This is a welcome development.
Now ships with cargo can complete the journey between Dhaka and Kolkata in just 3-4 days.
This provides an economical and quicker mode of transportation of goods.
Pangaon ICT can also emerge as an alternative to Ashuganj River Port for transhipment of goods to Northeastern India.
Thank you.

Lee Rigby murder inquiry to reveal how much agents knew about killers before incident
A REPORT will reveal what security services knew about soldier Lee Rigby's murderers before he was killed in Woolwich.
Michael Adebolajo and accomplice Michael Adebowale slaughtered Fusilier Rigby in broad daylight in May last year.
It emerged in the wake of the killing that secret services were aware of both Adebolajo, then 29, and Adebowale, then 22, but questions remain over whether they could have been more closely monitored.
An investigation by the Intelligence and Security Committee (ISC) has finished and a report, described by Whitehall officials as "very substantial", will be released on Tuesday.
Muslim converts Adebolajo and Adebowale ran down Fusilier Rigby, who was dressed in a Help for Heroes hoodie, in a Vauxhall Tigra near Woolwich Barracks, in south-east London, before savagely attacking the defenceless soldier as he lay in the road.
As armed police arrived, the two men charged the vehicle, with Adebowale brandishing a rusty, unloaded revolver. They were both shot at the scene.
Adebolajo and Adebowale were convicted of murder at the Old Bailey in December last year and were later sentenced to whole life and life with a minimum of 45 years respectively.
MI5 Director General Andrew Parker gave a speech in which he appeared to address concerns over whether the intelligence agencies could have done more to prevent the murder.
He said: "Knowing of an individual does not equate to knowing everything about them. Being on our radar does not necessarily mean being under our microscope.
"The reality of intelligence work in practice is that we only focus the most intense intrusive attention on a small number of cases at any one time."

Animal welfare
The health and welfare of research animals are of paramount importance to Imperial. The College employs more than 60 members of staff to care for animals.
Day-to-day care is provided by dedicated animal technicians who work in specially designed animal houses. Technicians ensure that laboratory animals are supplied with food and water; clean, comfortable cages; and enrichment materials, such as cardboard tubes and boxes. Between them, they check on each animal every day.
Technicians work closely with scientists, making a major contribution to research at Imperial. Research staff regularly give presentations about their data to technicians to engage them with their work and give them the opportunity to provide input.
Among the technicians are 15 Named Animal Care and Welfare Officers who are independent from scientific research and authorised by the Home Office to monitor the care and welfare of animals in accordance with the law.
Imperial also employs a group of trained vets who are specialised in caring for research animals. Their roles include advising researchers on topics such as designing the most ethical experiments, and the use of pain relief and anaesthesia. These vets are on call round-the-clock to provide emergency care to animals when needed.
Before researchers can get a licence to work with animals, they must receive appropriate training on ethical and welfare issues, techniques and skills, and legal responsibilities. Following training, researchers are assessed to ensure they are competent to carry out animal research. The College provides a programme of continuing professional development for technical and research staff to maintain and improve their skills and knowledge of working with animals.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the current Visual Management practices in highways construction projects in England. Design/methodology/approach Following a comprehensive literature review, the research topic was investigated by using five case studies and focus groups. Findings The main findings are (i) the current implementation of VM is limited, particularly on the construction field, (ii) there are some identified points (suggestions) that require attention to disseminate and advance the current practices further (iii) many conventional and BIM based opportunities to extend the current Visual Management implementations exist for the sector. Originality/value The highways construction and maintenance sector in England has been systematically deploying lean construction techniques in its operations for a while. One of those lean techniques is a close-range visual communication strategy called Visual Management. The literature on the Visual Management implementation in construction is scarce and generally limited to the building construction context. This paper documents the current industry practice in conventional and Building Information Modelling (BIM) based Visual Management and identifies a set of recommendations and some Visual Management ideas for future implementation efforts in the highways construction and maintenance sector.

Defining Mobile Hydration Is Not Easy
It may sound surprising, but the phrase "mobile hydration unit" means different things to different people. For one, there is a song on the album "Old Still" by the group "Galaxies in the River" with this name. There is a yellow water bottle with this label. There are watering stations that can be transported easily from place to place on wheels, for special events (normally outdoors) where you may want to prevent dehydration among large groups of individuals. A mobile hangover cure company also uses the term for their car, but the actual work is done through intravenous drips of saline, vitamins, and essential nutrients.
The need for water goes back to time immemorial, and we could not have life on Earth without it. Sure, the sun creatures who secretly control our thoughts have no need for dihydrogen oxide, and subsist on high energy photons in Phaeton's chariot, but the rest of us can't last very long without the stuff. But why should you walk to water, abuntly found in artesian wells, springs, and little waterfalls, when you can have it trucked to you on wheels? Eschew the thousands of pipeline miles found in urban centers acrost the globe, stop digging wells for your pittance of moisture, and toss out yon plastic bottles of BPA laced icemelt, for now a tank on wheels awaits to slake your thirst.
Drink it In
What is a firetruck but a super mobile hydration unit meant to quench the thirsty structure, forest, or wildland. Forsake the aerial hydration helicopters and tankers, for I have seen water on wheels, with manly pumps to banish the smoke and flame. Rescue not yon feline from arboreal with the rickety stepladder, but hose, hose it out of the branches with olympic pressure!
Aquifers On The Roadway
Hail! Hail! I hear the water truck, with its burly 5 gallon man and his little tin cart for bottles. I need no pedestrian tap water when the thick plastic tank beckons o'er the water cooler. Once, years anon, I embedded a secret love in my heart and worshipped her from afar, but lo did the water truck Adonis come and steal her affections cheaply, about once a week, and running hot and cold when properly plugged in. He stole her heart, and was vertitably douchy, but not for a moment did I lose my thirst for the nectar. The rose was not so fortunate, and withered into crepe-paper dust.

Actor Stallone supports ban on assault weapons
Associated Press
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — Sylvester Stallone says that despite his "Rambo" image and new shoot-em-up film "Bullet to the Head," he's in favor of new national gun control legislation.
Stallone supported the 1994 "Brady bill" that included a now-expired ban on assault weapons, and hopes that ban can be reinstated.
"I know people get (upset) and go, 'They're going to take away the assault weapon.' Who … needs an assault weapon? Like really, unless you're carrying out an assault. … You can't hunt with it. … Who's going to attack your house, a (expletive) army?"
The 66-year-old actor, writer and director said he also hopes for an additional focus on mental health to prevent future mass shootings.
"It's unbelievably horrible, what's happened. I think the biggest problem, seriously, is not so much guns. It's that every one of these people that have done these things in the past 30 years are friggin' crazy. Really crazy! And that's where we've dropped the ball: mental health," he said. "That to me is our biggest problem in the future, is insanity coupled with isolation."
Stallone is now in production on his next project, pairing up with the former "Raging Bull" Robert De Niro for "Grudge Match," about two aging boxers.
"People think it's going to be some geezer brawl. Really? OK, they're in for a surprise. I'm telling you. I've been working on the fight, the choreography. He's taking it deadly serious. Because no one wants to be shown up," Stallone said of De Niro. "It's going to be like a 'Rocky' fight. This will be 'Rocky 7,' with me fighting — with Rocky fighting the 'Raging Bull.'"

Photographer's Note
I am quite proud of this picture as it was taken at night, hand held, from outside a bar, looking in through a window. There was a little bit of blurring but i have sharpened and am quite pleased with the effect. The bar was backlit with this amazing red light and it looked so inviting that i had to take a picture.
It was taken at Abu Tig Marina near Hurghada.

You should be proud. THis is a very cool shot. The color is great and you've done a very nice job of framing the shot. You might want to crop the top left just a bit on the top right by the frame to get rid of the tiny bit of white.
torben (3100) 2004-10-01 15:30
You have good reason to be proud, you took something almost arbitrary and turned it into a striking photograph, something that sends the viewer into a corner of the world that they may know but not be aware of. You showed it to us.
The postprocessing has left very distinct dark areas within each square that I find a bit distracting from the overall impression.

Yes, a very tricky shot and a very effective result, well done/

I knew I'd gone over to the dark side when my husband asked me to stop texting during dinner. I was just answering my daughter's text message. He actually seemed somewhat annoyed, and I realized I had gotten snagged into the mindlessness of texting. Mindless, as opposed to mindful – where one is vividly aware of the moment. Mindless, in that I was paying no attention to whom I was with and where I was and the fact that in this case, he'd cooked dinner for us since I worked late. Mindless, in that the only thing I was thinking about was a conversation that could have waited. It was more like spending time not saying much of anything meaningful (one message was just ☺) rather than a conversation, but it's what counts for time together these days.
I have written so many blogs about the impact of media on relationships, about how we don't attend to the nonverbal cues that are 70 - 90 percent of emotional communication, how our interaction can become stereotyped (LOL!) and over-simplified, how via texting and email we don't really know – or worse – we don't really care about the response of the other person. I was doing it too, and I was sorry.
What of more value can we offer each other than undivided attention? To have someone really listen to you validates you. Imagine - there is nothing more important at that moment to someone else than paying attention to you. It invites you to open up. It doesn't even have to be verbal. Snuggling can be full attention if you're not making up the grocery list or texting at the same time.
Yet much of the time, as Shelly Turkle wrote in the NY Times Opinion section, 4/22/12, we all go around in our bubbles. We're together and not together. Have you ever watched people at a dinner table, each on his or her own phone? Children have even asked that someone help get their parents off their Blackberry's. There apparently is an art to appearing to make eye contact (the nonverbal message of listening) while texting someone else. As she says, "Technology-enabled, we are able to be with one another, and also elsewhere, connected to wherever we want to be. We want to move in and out of where we are because the thing we value most is control over where we focus our attention."
Attention – that's the nugget of gold. That's part of what drew me to texting with my daughter. I had her attention! Who knew how long it would last, and when the chance would come again? We giveth attention and we taketh attention away. There's not necessarily a sense of responsibility to each other. You might stay with me, or you might follow your attention elsewhere. We cheat on each other all the time. You think I'm here but I'm not. Of course I heard what you said. That doesn't mean I really listened.
It takes work to actively listen to someone, which is why therapists like myself actually teach people "active listening," to listen for understanding. Now, our technology makes it possible to do more than just not listen – we're somewhere else, with someone else completely. Presence can be just an illusion. Hopefully, we want to take the time and trouble to be genuinely present in the relationships that matter to us. I do.

I came to a sudden realization on one of my most important fantasy teams a couple days ago. With a substantial lead in ERA and WHIP, solid standings in wins and strikeouts, and only eight weeks (after this one) to go in the fantasy baseball season, preserving those stellar ratios became an instant, integral part of my strategy.
Faced with the prospect of shifting my pitching strategy to "preservation mode," I decided there's no better time than now to start loading up on useful, underappreciated middle relievers. They're not flashy, they're rarely All-Stars, they're often overlooked in the baseball world, but these ERA/WHIP helpers can be quite the boon down the stretch.
As an aside, the same might be true of those of you in leagues with a cap on starts. Once you go over -- it's 120 team starts in our standard game, for instance -- it's a relief-only strategy for you. Suffice to say, once multiple teams reach the point where they've either used up their starts or are preserving ratios, it's too late to do anything about it.


text: What a bunch of boring early (11-12 starting time) games. I know a lot of teams play cupcakes the first game of the season, but it would be nice to see a good matchup or 2 kicking off the day. I tried going with Purdue and Cincinnati, but Purdue couldn't make it a good game. Rice is keeping it relatively close at halftime against Texas A&M after a tipped pass TD to end the half 21-28. Johnny Football plays in the second half though, so it'll be funny to see A&M get criticized even more for only suspending him for a half -- looks like they needed him for this game. West Virginia is on Upset Alert, tied 17-17 with William & Mary in the 4th.

"Pop matters," declares Los Angeles-based writer, performer and transmedia artist Kate Durbin—"What we hear in the mall, in our cars, on YouTube, makes the world around us, which is to say that it makes us." Author of The Ravenous Audience (Akashic Books, 2009), E! Entertainment (Blanc Press, diamond edition, forthcoming) and five chapbooks, Durbin is the founding editor of Gaga Stigmata, a blog whose curated contents are forthcoming as a book. Her projects have been anthologized and featured by Poets and Writers, Salon.com, Huffington Post, The New Yorker, Spex, NPR and many others.
Shattering the halo of iconicity surrounding the celebrity maudites of our era (Anna Nicole, Lindsay Lohan), Durbin examines the paradox of how reality stars are both commodified by celebrity culture as well as in control of their own market share. Resisting the complicit passivity of spectatorship, scopophilia, the fetish, and the gaze, Durbin's art engages with the politics of consumption within a culture industry that minimizes the contributions of women effecting social change—treating them, according to Sheila Rowbotham, as an "amusing incongruity, titillating commodity, easily consumed."Shot through with neologisms ("cinesexuality"), Durbin's work posits a playful beyond to academic feminisms and postmodern memes (multiplicity, lack), wherein attempts to formulate a politico-ethical position (or narrate a representation of self or other informed by race, gender, or ethnicity) are seen as universalizing gestures, as if a neutered, class-based solidarity were the only social praxis left.
Unafraid of excess, sentiment, kitsch, and risk, Durbin offers a riposte to today's countervailing aesthetic of disinterest, harnessing the plasticity of L.A. culture yet adamantly focused on the miasmic "real" ("I'll take the grit of earth, facedown, any day"). Durbin's recodings of the shifting signifiers of our time (music, fashion, femininity, labor) position her at the liberation front of a lived art born of reflection, subversive engagement with the "Big Other," interconnectivity, and passion.
In an age when individual freedom is increasingly packaged as consumer choice, and endless opportunities are offered for aesthetic rather than political or ethical self-fashioning, Durbin's work incites a return to conscience, as well as consciousness, and agency, for icons, and ourselves.
Virginia Konchan: Your work flaunts binary distinctions between queer/hetero, butch/femme: What relationship does "femme" play to other transgenre feminisms such as the gurlesque?
Kate Durbin: From my understanding, the gurlesque radicalizes femme as site of sinister threat to the patriarchy: A knife in the heel of a Chanel shoe. I love the idea of the femme and the sinister co-mingling and think that the gurlesque is a potent way of realizing the femme, but the gurlesque has its limitations, as all theories do. I am not sure I agree with the idea that all things we label femme possess an inherent special violence, as some gurlesque notions imply—other than the violence all things possess by nature of existing. I am interested in our anxiety around the femme. This anxiety seems a major aspect of the gurlesque, actually. It's like we still have this second-wave feminism hangover. We can't just be okay with glittery baubles, or, in the case of the gurlesque (at least in many of the primary gurlesque theoretical texts), it appears we can be okay with glitter as long as it's fighting against patriarchy (even if it's fighting abjectly, i.e. passive-aggressively). But what if the femme also has a life of it's own on other terms?
