Alfa Romeo GT JTS
Based on the soon-to-be-superseded 156 sedan, the GT is a sublime looker that would fill the strict definition of a coupe - if it were not actually a hatchback. Nonetheless, the hatch is useful, providing a large luggage area for a sports car. Rear-seat passengers pay for it, though, with limited knee room, headroom and visibility.
The 2.0-litre four-cylinder GT JTS (code for direct injection) arrived in January, joining the 3.2-litre V6 version launched last year. It sacrifices 50 kW and nearly 100 Nm to its sibling but it is still an exuberant engine in the best Alfa tradition.
And because the GT is front-wheel-drive, less power and torque helps the steering purity. The smaller engine's lighter weight aids cornering behaviour, although rough roads upset the balance.
The JTS trades the V6's six-speed manual for a less satisfying five-speed Selespeed gearbox, swaps 17-inch alloys for 16s and loses the Bi-Xenon headlights. But it retains six airbags, stability control, ABS, leather trim, dual climate control and a six-stack CD player. And the bottom line is that it's about $15,000 cheaper than the 3.2.
Price: $64,950.
For: Delightful styling, spirited engine, handling on smooth roads.
Against: Cramped in the rear, sequential auto poor.
Ratings: 3 stars (see below for ratings key)
Mercedes-Benz CLS500
A three-door hatchback masquerading as a coupe is one thing, but with its four doors, the CLS500 stretches the whole scenario that much further.
It's not a coupe - indeed, under its svelte clothing, the CLS is a close relation of the E-class sedan. But reflecting the fragmenting new-car market, the CLS offers a Benz choice to coupe buyers moving up from CLK pricing territory, but not quite ready for a $300,000 investment in the S-class based CL.
The result is a $170,000-plus car that has carved out its own bit of turf - more daring than an E-Class, less compromised than a CLK or CL, particularly for rear-seat passengers.
At its core is the rumbling Benz family 225 kW V8 5.0-litre engine, excellent new seven-speed automatic transmission and driver-adjustable DC Airmatic suspension. Running on low-profile tyres, it adds up to a typical Grand Tourer experience.
There's no shortage of equipment. Eight airbags, stability control, ABS, cornering headlights, four-zone climate control air-conditioning and parking sensors are among many highlights.
Price: $173,900.
For: Looks, touring performance.
Against: Cramped rear, E-Class is $10,000 cheaper.
Ratings: 4 stars
Citroen C4 VTS Coupe
Another misnamed hatchback, this is the top of the line when it comes to Citroen's new C4 small-car range, and it's a return to form for the once quirky French manufacturer, although the C4's platform and mechanicals are shared with the more conservative Peugeot 307.
But there's some Peugeot 206 mixed in when it comes to the VTS, because it gets the same 2.0-litre 130 kW/202 Nm four-cylinder engine and five-speed manual gearbox as the hot hatch sold here as the 206 GTi 180.
However, the VTS delivers only a mediocre driving experience. The handling is vague, the ride unhappy on bumpy roads and the engine simply doesn't feel like it delivers the claimed performance.
No, the interesting things about this car sit over the mechanical bits: the funky exterior, with swivelling headlights, long bonnet, arcing roof and cut-off rear-end; and the interior, with a fixed hub steering wheel, an LED-bar tacho mounted on the steering column that glows red as the red line approaches, a translucent LCD screen above the instrument stack that includes the speedo and even a perfume diffuser.
Price: $36,990.
For: Unique exterior/interior, lots of equipment.
Against: Engine feels soft, chassis feels underdone.
Ratings: 3.5 stars
Holden Astra Coupe CD
For a true sheep in wolf's clothing, look no further than Holden's new Astra Coupe; three-door hatchback, actually.
Designed and built by Opel, this fantastic looking little car promises performance, except that the 1.8-litre four-cylinder engine and five-speed manual or optional four-speed auto transmission are lifted straight from the five-door AH Astra hatchback.
With only 92 kW and 170 Nm at its disposal, the Astra Coupe battles to impress. The suspension is sportier than the five-door but is stable, not sharp.
However, the exterior shares only the bonnet, front bumper and front fenders with the five-door. The Coupe has a 25 mm lower roofline but aerodynamic tests show it is actually less slippery through the air than either the five-door or wagon.
Inside, the look up front is straight Astra hatch, and the back has acceptable head and leg room. Luggage space drops 43 litres to 302 litres.
Apart from styling, the CD's trump card is the price. At $23,490, it includes 15-inch alloy wheels, front and front side airbags, ABS, cruise control, front power windows and air-conditioning as standard.
Price: From $23,490.
For: Looks, solid build, stable behaviour, good equipment.
Against: Neither fast nor sharp handling.

As the name suggests, this Asana is true to its name. This Asana not only exercises whole body but also it reverses the flow of blood due to reverse pose from toes to brain. The heart has to exercise in its efficiency. This is said to be a master Asana. Now to perform this Asana proceed as follows:
Lie down on your prayer mat flat on your back with legs stretched straight and arms lying parallel on the sides. Raise up both your legs together and hold them perpendicular to your torso. Take a few breaths normally. Now take your legs over to your head and with both hands resting at elbows support your trunk firmly and bring up both your legs, touching each other, raised high up in vertical position and firmly supported by both hands, keeping elbows close to torso. When your legs are up in vertical position supported by hands resting on elbows; the weight of the body should be borne by your back of head + neck + shoulders, this is important.
Here is one very important point to observe. When your legs are raised up at that time bring your Chest forward towards your Chin and make a chin-lock which is called Jalandhar-Bandha.
Thus the spine is stretched fully.
Stay in this posture first for five minutes then increase slowly up to fifteen minutes if you are comfortable. Now release your supporting hand-stay and come down slowly flat on the ground and lie down there to rest for a few minutes. This completes your Sarvangasana.
It cures all ailments of the physical body because most important endocrine glands etc are toned up thus improving mental health too. The thyroid and parathyroid glands at the neck are also activated. Therefore persons suffering from Asthma, Breathlessness, Palpitation, Bronchitis and throat ailments get relief. In short a person becomes free from all common ailments of the body.
Caution: If the seeker is suffering from high blood pressure then one should perform 'Halasana' first and later Sarvangasana.
A black snake or serpent is called Bhujunga. When this snake raised its head and fore part of the body to strike at something; this pose is called Bhujungasana when performed by humans. Now to perform this Asana proceed as follows:
Lie down flat on your stomach on the prayer mat with legs stretched out and feet flat on the ground and all toes pointing outwards. Keep both your hands on the sides of your body with palms down touching flat, the ground and raised up at elbows. Now raise your head with your torso also rising, by pushing down the ground with your both palms, thus raise the torso to the maximum extent bent backwards so that you are resting up on your pelvic and thighs and palms of your hands, pushing backwards your head as much as possible. Stay in this posture for thirty seconds. After 30 seconds lower your torso to the ground and rest for a while, then repeat this pose two more times. Now lie down flat on your stomach rest for one minute. This completes the Bhujungasana.
Since spine is curved backwards it automatically adjusts her discs and relieves backaches. The chest rib-cage is stretched and therefore lungs are also expanded and their capacity is increased. It exercise pancreas and so helps in managing excess blood sugar in diabetic people. Bujungasana strengthens legs and feet also.

Designer Profile: Spork
July 27, 2010
Meet Mark Lester Jarmin aka Spork – an awesome illustrator and just one of the designers who has helped make 99designs.com the #1 marketplace for crowdsourced logo design, web design, print design or any other design need!
Designer Profile
Mark Lester Jarmin – Philippines
99designs handle: Spork
Projects entered: 218
Projects won: 50
How did you get started in design?
I started drawing in school when I was very young. From elementary to high school my notebooks are filled with sketches and doodles. I was always assigned to design our classroom bulletin boards and I was chosen to represent our school in art competitions. I won several awards including one for a design that our university used as our school ID.
After I graduated, I worked as a sign maker and later as a mall artist – designing decors and seasonal themes including graphic designs for events and activities. Right now i'm focusing more as an illustrator.
How do you get your design inspiration?
I really look up to great illustrators – seeing how they create their art inspires me to create something better. Reading their books and blogs, watching their animations, studying their comics, etc… motivates me to learn and improve my skills.
What led you to start using 99designs.com?
My officemate referred me to 99designs and I've been hooked ever since. At first, I joined the contests just for fun but when I won my first contest and a follow up project came in – I got serious and more competitive. I love it here – I enjoy, learn and earn at the same time!
99designs has really helped me showcase my skills. I continue to improve, meet new clients, make new friends and build a good portfolio.
What are three things designers can do to have success at 99designs?
1. Preparation is the key! Study the design brief first. View it in different angles – from the client's perspective, from the perspective of the target audience and from your view as the designer. Proper composition requires more time than execution.
2. Create your own identity. As an illustrator, style really does matter! If you want to stand out and get noticed, draw the way YOU want to draw – offering something unique… yourself.
3. Take care of your profile and portfolio. A higher winning percentage surely reflects well on your status within the community and to potential clients. This is not a raffle contest so – join only the projects that you are really interested in and you'll have more chance of winning.
What do you love most about being a designer?
I just love what I do- I enjoy, learn and earn!

The 2017 edition, beginning on Monday 15 May, is no exception with current world no. 1 Angelique Kerber leading the field.Clay. with the exception of Stuttgart where she is a two-time champion, has never been Kerber's strongest surface so there will be plenty of opportunity for other players, including world no. 3 Karolina Pliskova, the 2016 US Open runner-up looking for her first Rome title, and 2014 French Open runner-up Simona Halep. Former runners-up at the Internazionali BNL d'Italia who will be hoping to go one better in 2017 include young, powerful American Madison Keys, who lost to Serena Williams in the 2016 final; Russian veteran Svetlana Kuznetsova; Samantha Stosur, Carla Suarez Navarro and Italy's own Sara Errani.Three-time Rome champion Maria Sharapova will be in the field courtesy of a wildcard as she looks to rebuild her ranking after her 18-month doping suspension. The Foro Italico has been a happy hunting-ground for her in the past - will Sharapova shine again in Rome? Another former champion, Venus Williams, will look to continue her resurgence too, as will Caroline Wozniacki, already a finalist at three WTA events in 2017. Defending French Open champion Garbine Muguruza and WTA Finals Singapore winner Dominika Cibulkova are among the other stars scheduled to appear when the 2017 Internazionali BNL d'Italia begins on Monday 15 May.Internazionali BNL d'Italia 2017 WTA seedsCheck back here for a definitive list of seeds when the draw for the 2017 Internazionali BNL d'Italia is released.About the Internazionali BNL d'ItaliaUnlike the bright, ultra-modern Mutua Madrid Open played at the Caja Magica, the Internazionali BNL d'Italia is all about tradition and has a good claim to be considered the second most prestigious clay-court event in tennis behind the French Open.The roots of the Internazionali BNL d'Italia stretch back to 1930 when Spain's Lili de Alvarez won the first Italian national championships. Played in Milan for four years, the tournament moved to the iconic, Benito Mussolini-built Foro Italico venue in northern Rome in 1935 and has been played there for all but three years since.The women's event was held two weeks before the men's for many years before the events were combined in 2011, meaning that the Internazionali BNL d'Italia now comprises a Masters 1000 and WTA Premier 5, all but guaranteeing the presence of all of tennis's biggest stars for a stellar week of top-flight tennis.While the list of champions at the Internazionali BNL d'Italia includes such luminaries as Maureen Connolly, Althea Gibson, Margaret Court, Billie Jean King, Monica Seles, Steffi Graf, Martina Hingis and Kim Clijsters, nobody has won more titles in Rome than 18-time Grand Slam champion Chris Evert. Evert leads the list of all-time Internazional BNL d'Italia winners with five titles, and has also appeared in the most finals (seven). Gabriela Sabatini and Conchita Martinez, who holds the record for most consecutive titles and finals, follow Evert closely with four Internazionali BNL d'Italia crowns to their credit.Several active players have at least one WTA Rome title on their resume, starting with Venus Williams, who defeated Hingis in the 1999 final. Former world no. 1 Jelena Jankovic won back-to-back Rome titles in 2007-8, just the fourth woman to do so at the Foro Italico, and one-time winners Dinara Safina (2009) and Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez (2010) followed suit.Defending champion Maria Sharapova tied Serena Williams for most Italian Open titles held by an active player in 2015 when she won her third Rome crown: Her three-set victory over Carla Suarez-Navarro came after she defeated Sam Stosur in 2011 and Li Na in 2012. Williams, meanwhile, took her first title in Rome in 2002, and returned to the winners' circle 11 years later in 2013, defeating Victoria Azarenka. Williams followed that victory up by a dominant win in 2014, taking out Ana Ivanovic in the semifinals and home favourite Sara Errani in the final. In 2015, she was forced to withdraw from the event with an elbow injury after round three, allowing Sharapova to get on level terms, but surpassed the Russian when she returned in 2016 to win her fourth title, beating younger compatriot Madison Keys in the final - while Garbine Muguruza foreshadowed her run to the French Open title two weeks later by making the semifinals.

text: Picture the scene if you will, I have an A3 2006 went to the supermarket packed it with goodies plus luggage and reversed parked in on a drive. After filling it - bearing in mind the car had been parked for 6 hours or more, went in the kitchen and noticed the car dashboard lights were on - fully - only trouble I had the keys in my had so went out to investigate. Turned the key engine started depite being in reverse gear and handbrake on and went like a train, I was hanging in half in half out, broke my shoe because my right foot nearly got sucked under the car. As it was going at huge speed towards the tree managed to get my left foot on the brake otherwise it would have gobe througth the tree in down the garden and broke a brick wall. As it happens I slowed the impact but I have concussion, three broken fingers bruises where you would not believe and the car has been repair. So in fairness what the hell is going on there!


text: Last month, Farzad Mostashari, MD, was named national coordinator for health IT, taking on the job from David Blumenthal, MD, who held the post for two years and left to return to an academic role at Harvard Medical School. Mostashari has the background to hit the ground running in his new job. During Blumenthal's tenure, Mostashari had been deputy national coordinator for programs and policy since July 2009. Mostashari spoke to InformationWeek Healthcare about his priorities as the new ONC leader and the challenges ahead as the country's healthcare system undergoes reform, and as U.S. healthcare providers move forward implementing health IT systems under the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act's meaningful use programs.

While we now have an impressive presence on our Facebook Page and quite a large number of people have now signed our petition to stop the immediate budget cuts, I think we also need to start thinking about ways of helping the library in the long run. In my opinion, the best way to enable the library would be to use the various ways of giving to UNT Library.
Contributions can be made to the UNT Library both in kind and cash. The best way to help is by either using the UNT online giving page and designate a one time or a recurring gift to UNT Library, or, if you are a UNT employee, to start a recurring donation through a payroll deduction. I have already set up a payroll deduction and the process was very simple. Provided below are some links to support the library with some explanation:
- One Time Donation, Designated for the Library (Please make sure that the LIBRARY is clearly Designated): https://development.unt.edu/givenow/givenow_gen.php
- Payroll deduction Form (Please clearly designated your donation to the library): https://giving.unt.edu/sites/default/files/WeCareWeCount-form-2012.pdf
- You may also choose any of the ways of giving listed on the Library website: http://www.library.unt.edu/external-relations/giving-libraries
Forming a Permanent Library Support Group/ Student Organization
I think it would serve the library best to have an established and recognized student organization aimed at continually working in support of the library. The organization will probably have to be approved by UNT and would have to develop its constitution and bylaws etc. This is where we seek student leadership and if anyone of you is interested in leading this effort please contact us and we can start the process.
Please pass this information to others. Please do take a few moments and donate what you can to the library. Also, if you have any other suggestions, please post them in the comments section below.

text: Hi all, I wanted to try lmms, I'm trying all sorts of linux audio programs now. I'd like to use VSTi's, so I got the vst_sdk version 2.3 (there seems to be a 2.4 too) from Steinberg, got the aeffectx.h and AEffect.h , put the= m in the include directory and tried to patch them with the vst_sdk23_headers.diff . aeffectx.h seems to work, but when it tries to patch AEffect.h i get: patching file AEffect.h Hunk #1 FAILED at 45. Hunk #2 FAILED at 64. 2 out of 2 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file AEffect.h.rej If you want I can mail the contents of AEffect.h.rej. This happens with 0.1.4 as well as the latest CVS version. Perhaps I'm just a moron and doing it all wrong. Can anyone confirm that it in fact is possible to use VSTi's in lmms by patching the header files I got from Steinberg? Anyway, lmms looks promising, I just hope I can get VST support to function= . It's IMHO the most important feature any music creation program can have.

Friday, August 21, 2015
The international lineup is set to deliver the longest sets on the grandest stage, along with a whole lot of new songs from their 2015 releases. Headlining this year's BRF are Chris Drew and co. as NEVER SHOUT NEVER, the pop acoustic sensation before pop acoustic sensations took YouTube by storm. For the first time on Philippine shores come the in-demand French dudes and #EZRevival2k15 trailblazers CHUNK! NO, CAPTAIN CHUNK! Back at Bazooka Rocks is the well-loved NICK SANTINO, ex-frontman of the now-defunct but terribly missed A Rocket To The Moon. Following suit is the all-too-familiar THIS CENTURY to serenade us a final time as part of their farewell tour.
On a similar note comes URBANDUB, our proud local headliners who deserve the grandest send-off as they officially disband by the end of the year. With them are Cebuano post-hardcore veterans, FASPITCH, and young guns SIRENS, ABSOLUTE PLAY, and FAINTLIGHT.
Bazooka Rocks takes its "no sections, one massive pit" tagline up a notch by having only one ticket tier: the coveted PULP Royalty package! The prized ticket is inclusive of an official ID card, official lanyard, DSLR and GoPro pass, album signings, PULP Magazine, photo booth access, free-for-all meet-and-greets, free poncho (because shelter from the rain rocks!), and yes, free nachos (because nacho libre!).
PULP Royals will also get a chance to win special activities with your favorite band! We'll have raffles for a video game challenge, karaoke battle, thumb wrestling, as well as a private dinner. The festival itself would be loaded with food and drinks galore, a pizza eating contest, a piñata party, and a whole lot more!

For motor racing legend Mark Skaife, the dangers don't all lie on the racetrack, after a Texas bar fight at the Blind Pig saw the Bathurst champion punched in the face.
Fairfax Media has obtained a police report of an incident that occurred during the sport's maiden US race in Austin, Texas, earlier this year. According to the report, Skaife, 46, was punched in the face after he assaulted Holden Motorsport public relations manager Gerald McDornan.
The report states Skaife ''shouldered'' Mr McDornan in the chest while he was carrying a tray of drinks in the Blind Pig bar on May 20. Skaife then physically threatened and verbally abused Mr McDornan, who responded by punching Skaife in the face once.
A witness says Skaife, who has played down the incident, stumbled backwards into onlookers before attempting to continue fighting Mr McDornan.
The pair were separated by onlookers, including current Holden Racing Team drivers Garth Tander and Greg Murphy.
Holden Motorsport boss Simon McNamara was also with Mr McDornan but was not involved in the altercation.
One witness says Skaife was with a group that included fellow Channel Seven presenters Matthew White and Mark Larkham, and expatriate motorcycle racer Chad Reed.
The report states Mr McDornan left the bar and returned to his hotel to report the incident to police but declined to press charges against Skaife.
Fairfax Media contacted Mr McDornan, who confirmed the incident took place and said he acted in self-defence.
But Skaife dismissed the seriousness of the altercation, calling it a ''minor kerfuffle''. The five-time touring car champion admitted he had been drinking with his Seven colleagues but said the punch from Mr McDornan was minor, and he left the bar shortly afterwards.

I saw my grandmother today – probably for the last time.
I grew up knowing three of my grandparents: Grandma and Tata (mom's side) and Mommer (dad's side). My grandfather on my dad's side passed away when I was very young, so I have no memory of him to speak of.
Mommer was a grand southern lady. She passed away when I was in my early twenties. She was a strong woman and was there for me during the rough times of my parents splitting up during my teens. She was also the source of the most extravagant Christmas gifts I can remember from my childhood.
Among other things, she got me that epic Matchbox Voltron one year. It was, as I stated, epic.
My Polish grandparents went by Grandma and Tata. Tata is a Polish for "father" and myself, my aunts, and cousins all referred to him that way. He was a stern but caring man. My memories of him are split between his often oddball sense of humor and his leather belt when I invariably did something wrong.
He passed away less than ten years ago.
When I dwell on the memories of Grandma, my last remaining grandparent, I have nothing of impressions of love. Mommer was stern, understanding, and southern. Tata was strict, caring, and very Polish.
Grandma, though, was nothing but a being of pure love and caring. I have no memories of her ever being angry. Never mad. Never truly upset. She was just… love. The first time she met Shannon, her first thoughts were that she (Shannon) needed to eat more because she was so thin and immediately started making pierogi and kielbasa. This was authentic stuff – not frozen in the local grocery store. Shannon, being polite, ate it to make Grandma happy even though it wasn't the type of food she'd normally eat.
Later that night (we were spending the night in their spare room in New Jersey) Shannon snuck into the guest bathroom and, as quietly as she could, threw up the dinner. Her body wasn't accustomed to pure, honest to God, authentic GREASY kielbasa. She was crying, and I asked her if she was okay.
She told me that she wasn't crying being she was sick. She was crying because she didn't want my grandmother to know that she threw up the dinner she had made for her because she was so genuinely excited to make it for us.
That was the impression Grandma gave: love. She wanted you to know you were loved and loved showing it.
I keep transitioning between present and past tense with her because I got a message from my Aunt Donna yesterday that Grandma's health has taken a dramatic turn for the worse and they are moving her to hospice. I immediately stopped the world and made arrangements to drive down today to see her.
With my mom in tow, I drove south about a hundred miles and saw Grandma in the hospital. She was sleeping soundly, but her breathing was labored and strained. According to my aunt, she went to sleep after some overwhelming health struggles (complicated by a recent stroke) yesterday afternoon and she hasn't woken up since.
The doctor's have all agreed that with her failing health, lungs, and other issues she will very, very likely not wake up.
So today I said goodbye to Grandma: my grandparent who survived prison camps in World War II, came to America, and raised five daughters. She was an amazing woman and I told her I loved her and wished her a peaceful rest. I'm proud that I decided to live my life by certain guidelines years ago, and one of the most import was to make sure I tell my older family members how much I love them when I see them. Thus, with peace of mind, I can remember that the last thing I said to my Grandma when she was still speaking were the words "I love you".
From time to time, Shannon and I would randomly drop in on Grandma at her nursing home in South Florida. One time, less than a year ago, I even took a "selfie" with her for fun. It's a photo of what is now an even more impactful memory.
I'm not sure how much longer she's for this world; A day? A week? Who knows. In any case, I'm glad I took the time today to say my goodbyes while she is still with us.
As Mr. Vonnegut would say: so it goes.

No-tillage (NT) has the potential to enhance C and N sequestration in agricultural soils of the southern USA, but results may vary with crop species. The objectives of this study were to investigate the impacts of NT, conventional tillage (CT), and crop species on soil organic carbon (SOC) and nitrogen (SON) sequestration and distribution within aggregate-size fractions in a central Texas soil after 20 yr of management. No-tillage increased SOC over CT at the 0- to 5-cm depth by 97, 47, and 72%, and SON by 117, 56, and 44% for continuous grain sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench], wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), and soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.], respectively. Crop species had significant impacts on SOC and SON sequestration. On average, the wheat monoculture had greater SOC (9.23 Mg C ha−1) at the 0- to 5-cm depth than sorghum (6.75 Mg C ha−1) and soybean (7.05 Mg C ha−1). No-tillage increased the proportion of >2-mm and 250-μm to 2-mm macroaggregate fractions in soil compared with CT. At the 0- to 5-cm depth, NT increased SOC compared with CT by 158% in macroaggregate fractions, but only 40% in <250-μm fractions. No-tillage increased SON compared with CT by 300, 94, 41, and 39% for >2-mm, 250-μm to 2-mm, 53- to 250-μm, and <53-μm fractions, respectively. Long-term impacts of NT included a greater proportion of macroaggregates and increased C and N sequestration, but impacts were dependent on crop species and varied with soil depth.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.

I work at a small accounting company, our tech team is just 3 developers and 1 manager (not technical).Right now I'm trying to find some tool to help us organize our tasks and issues a little better, email is becoming a mess.What I'm looking for is a simple task board and some kind of chat or message board.
Alternatives I'm looking into:
Slack - lacks the board
Trello - lacks the chat
Glip - I like it very much but kinda lacks the board since it have a task list
sandstorm.io - looks promising
Which tools you guys use? Do you think we really need a complete solution for such a small team?
Physical whiteboards and E-Mail, not kidding, but we are all local. ^.^
At my last job, which was 95% remote it was Microsoft OCS and E-Mail. I'd not recommend it, at all.
Slack for chat and Trello for tasks. This is pretty common. I don't know of any one-size-fits-all. Trello has Slack integration.
Slack + https://waffle.io/ works just fine for a comparably small teamat the startup where I'm working now.
We just shout at each other Team of 5 and offices all in the same hallway.
I made my own tool that I use for project management and communication. we have real time chat by means of IRC implemented in it. its been working like a charm for many years and I am updating it for Elixir now. This is so much fun seeing some things that was complicated in c++ go into one line of code.
When I have hired people to work with me on location, I have a physical color coded paper board with Post it`s. old school Trello if you like. And if I can steal a white board I always do that. sometimes its better to visualize than to talk.
//Shameless promotionWhen I am finished with converting my tools to elixir I hope to release it. It has most of what you need. and then some.
I'd be curious to see.
Cool! I would love to beta test it for you
Slack for chat, whiteboards, Trello and/or Pivotal Tracker for planning, and copious amounts of stickies
For chat type stuff we use Mattermost - that way it's all local and backed up, and we can add features, tweak the UI etc
For projects, we use a mixture of a local JIRA instance - that's mainly for actual development work, as theres < 10 of us devs its only $10 - and Trello for everyone else
Just found https://hive.com/It has a chat, and a board, and dropbox and google drive integrations.

In light of Earth Month, we spoke to Hans Pfister, the President and co-owner of Cayuga Sustainable Hospitality
For many years, the concept of responsible travel and ecotourism had the image of tree huggers and backpackers in Birkenstock sandals going for days without a shower or a decent meal. Many of us were probably backpackers (maybe even tree huggers) in our college days, but enjoy the "creature comforts" of luxury or five star hotels and resorts on our travels today. We think that adventure and comfort as well as sustainability and luxury can mix quite well in a vacation experience. Here is some help on how to find hotels, resorts and lodges that offer a five start service experience combined with a sense of place, protection of the environment and support for local communities and its people.
Choosing a luxury or five star destination or hotel can be challenging. The definition of luxury has changed quite a bit over the years. Traditionally, it was about golden faucets, Italian marble bathrooms and exotic items from around the world on the restaurant's menu. For the more experienced traveler this has changed. Authenticity and sense of place, remote and pristine locations, locally harvested and produced food and drink, unique wildlife and nature experiences and connections with people have become today's new luxuries.
When checking a hotel or resort for their sustainability practices, take a look at their website and look for information on sustainability, conservation of flora and fauna and practices that enhance the development of local communities. But dig deeper. Ask the reservations agent about some of the things you read on the website to make sure they are not just PR or even green washing. And when at the hotel or resort, try to take a look behind the scenes of the hotel operation and visit local schools or projects that are supported by the hotel. This could be a life changing experience.
When you made your decision on where to stay and chose a green lodging operation or eco destination, these are some of the "compromises" that you might encounter in sustainable hotels and resorts and eco lodges:
- Not all the seafood in the world and not even all the seafood in the country might be found on the menu. Certain endangered species are banned. Tuna, for example, should be caught the traditional way and consumed in moderation. Certain times of the year, certain species should not be offered.
- Air conditioning is not always available. But usually, the cross ventilation and location of the guest rooms in eco lodges does not require A/C. In many sustainable Hotels that offer air conditioning, it might be a more enjoyable to open the windows, turn on the ceiling fans, let the breeze come in and listen to the ocean waves and rain forest sounds.
- If your idea of luxury is many free plastic bottles of water all over your room, then you might be disappointed. They are banned from many eco lodges and instead reusable water bottles are provided to drink the locally sourced water. This might cost the lodge serious money, but it is the right thing to do.
- When staying at an eco lodge or sustainable resort, they are most likely located in pristine nature locations. That means that there are animals in all forms and shapes. Usually nothing really dangerous, but it is a different experience from the sterile environment of a city apartment. A certain level of enthusiasm and tolerance for nature is recommended.
- Things might not always be perfect. Truly sustainable hotels, resorts and lodges hire and train local staff. Many all-inclusive and branded resorts bring in expats to take care of guests. That might ensure a bit better service efficiency and language skills, but can lack authenticity and "heart".
If you enjoy freshly prepared, local seafood, can trade in A/C a couple of days for Ocean breezes, are ok with drinking water from a rainforest well, and don't mind monkeys and iguanas hanging out on your balcony, you should take a look at the Cayuga Collection of Sustainable Luxury Hotels and Lodges all listed on Hotels.com. And the "sacrifices" that you make will be more than compensated by the authenticity of the experience and especially the warmth and friendliness of the lodge and hotel staff that will take care of you.
Tell us if you would stay at an eco-lodge via @hotelsdotcom and @CayugaSH

Linden CD – presentation
LINDEN press
"Music that fits in no box – light psychedelic atmospheric impro?" (Aad van Nieuwkerk, Vrije Geluiden)
"Unique in the Dutch improvised music. You could argue that Kristina Fuchs has created a new genre." (Herman ter Loo, Jazzflits)
"Fuchs in turn sounded sensual, teasing and playful" (René van Peer, Eindhovens Dagblad)
"Which again shows how beautiful the voice of Kristina Fuchs to this music folds: warm, sometimes childlike, then again sharply feminine and always sensitive." (Rinus van der Heijden, Jazznu)

Review LINDEN
CD Linden (TryTone) – Kristina Fuchs met Jeroen van Vliet en Mete Erker
The Swiss but living in Netherlands singer Kristina Fuchs made a few years ago a nice CD with improvisations on Swiss folksongs. Folk songs-in the sense of true, old folklore from Netherlands are there too, although sometimes completely forgotten. Older music lovers probably still remember the radio program Onder de groene linde, with Ate Doornbosch, which with a recorder took up the fragile everywhere in Netherlands votes by often older Dutch people who could sing such centuries-old songs yet. Eleven songs from the collection of Ate Doornbosch are now taken by Kristina Fuchs to improvisations, along with pianist Jeroen van Vliet and Reed player Mete Bay window. That delivers a wonderful CD with music that fits in no box-light psychedelic atmospheric impro? The warm voice of Kristin blends beautifully with the lyrical piano playing and the subtle rafel edges by saxophone or bass clarinet. Combine that with the light alienating effect that the old-Dutch texts and you come in a kind of dream state, in which amorous adventures, jealousy, adultery and murder and manslaughter set the tone … Official presentation of the CD with a concert in Splendor on January 26. – AvN, Vrije Geluiden

In the course of the talk, the pastor mentioned that the Greek word for hospitality, philoxenia, more literally translates to "love of the stranger." An article from Sojourners goes even farther, explaining that the root word of xenia could also refer to enemies, not just strangers.
We are hosting an exchange student this year. She is not an enemy. She was a stranger only in the sense we had never met, but in reality has much in common with us. We handpicked her because we thought she would fit in well with our family.
Some of the host families in our program are hosting Muslim students. There are other families around the country who welcome refugees through programs like World Relief. There are families who adopt children with a history of trauma or with disabilities and fragile medical conditions.
I can't imagine coping with those challenges, but that is because they aren't the tasks set before me. I fully believe that if any one of those were set before me, the measure of grace and faith to walk in that path would be provided as well, just as it was when I was diagnosed with end-stage heart failure, and just as we are experiencing now.
When we first started talking about hosting an exchange student, I felt like I had my hands full already handling my own condition, my kids' energy and issues, and so on. I wondered if we were crazy for thinking we could add another person to our household. And yet, I felt convicted it was the right step to take.
We are exercising hospitality, and the measure of grace and faith needed is here at just the right time. My kids are still a handful and all my other issues are all still in the mix, and yet somehow, surprisingly, I feel less overwhelmed than before.
I feel encouraged and challenged at the same time by these reflections. I know I have a long way to grow to be truly hospitable, to embrace and welcome strangers and enemies eagerly and lavishly as I would a beloved relative. I also know that it is God's will to conform me to the character of Christ, and His sanctifying work will continue to be done in my life.

Shoyoroll Batch #8 Yank Review
If there's such thing as a collectible gi brand, it's Shoyoroll. Into their 8th batch now, with the 10th batch coming up for preorders soon, this is one of the rare brands that increase in value after purchase, even with a used gi. To time it with their upcoming Batch #10 preorder, we're reviewing both Batch #8 gis so you can have an idea of what you might be getting yourself into.
For those of you eBayers reading this, please don't use my photos and crop off my watermark to pass it off as your own. Unless of course, you have a Golden State or Batch #6 to send me in return, heh heh.
Next up is the dark navy blue Yank!
Official Specs:
- Lightweight 450g pearl weave fabric
- One piece jacket with no back seam
- Custom IPOD/ID pocket
- EVA Foam Collar
- 12oz Ripstop cotton Pants w/Gold Weave Gusset
- Stretchy Rope Drawstring
- 6 Point loop system
- Contrasting color stitch
- Heavy Reinforced Seams
- Tailored Fit
- Custom art woven inner taping
- Comes with a limited edition gi bag
The Yank is part of Shoyoroll's East vs West theme for Batch #8 and comes in a dark navy blue and white contrast stitching. The colour is really dark and deep, more so than some of the other navy blue gis that I've seen out there. It helps the white contrast threads to really stand out and make the gi pop. Great way to make an otherwise simple design look good. For those who want to try out a Shoyoroll minus the flashier designs, the Yank will appeal to you.
The gi comes with a gi bag made of ripstop material with 'The Yank' printed on it. Nothing special about this gi bag, but it's slightly thicker than the White Mamba's, and can be a good under the radar bag if you need something to carry around. Thanks to new IBJJF rules banning pockets inside the gi jacket, the gi now comes with a detached ID pocket for those who are not competing to stitch it on themselves. The Yank's pocket is rather plain though, with no designs or printing on it.
In similar styling to recent Shoyorolls, there is no chest patch and the front is devoid of any design except for a Shoyoroll logo patch on the bottom left. The back is also empty for you to customise with your own patches. With some of the Shoyoroll patches, you might want to check if they're properly stitched on. Mine had the threads run past the patch, missing it in a few places that require some additional sewing from me.
The shoulders feature the customary Shoyoroll embroidery that says Jiu-jitsu on the right and Kimonos on the left.
With the Yank, the design is a lot simpler with no fancy artwork to go with. Instead, there's a red orange green rasta taping that looks surprisingly good against the navy blue backdrop.
The pants continues with the same contrast stitching, and features a longer Shoyoroll word patch on the top left of the pants, as well as a small Shoyoroll logo on the bottom left below the knee pads. Once again, plain and simple.
For more photos of the Yank, click here.
Form & Fit
Shoyoroll's size chart spans from A00 to A5, with special A2H and A3s sizes. They apparently run larger than other gis, but I find these to be great for the Asian frames due to the longer and slimmer cut.
Using my previous experience with the 7th Son, A1 was again the preferred choice. With Shoyoroll, I fall right smack in the middle of the height range but borderline weight for A1, with is usually the other way round for many other sizing charts. This usually means the gi will be of good length but fit a little baggy. Fortunately, Shoyorolls do shrink.
Right out of the bag, the A1 was a little large, but after a few washes it shrank just right. While the fit could be more snug around the chest, the pant and sleeve length are great for an A1. In terms of fit, it's very similar to the White Mamba, the main difference being the longer pant length.
Here's the pre and post wash measurements, all done in cold wash and hung dry.
Gi Top
Sleeve to Sleeve
Chest width
Gi length (collar to skirt)
Arm width (at armpits)
Cuff width (at sleeves)
Gi Pants
Pant width
Pant length
Cuff width (at leg)
The Yank's 450gsm pearl weave is similar to the White Mamba, which is lighter and thinner compared to other heavier 500-550gsm counterparts. It feels great to train in something so light and thin that you barely feel it there. The gi does stiffen up a little after washing and drying, but softens up again during training after rolling around in sweat.
This time round, the ripstop pants is a little heavier at 12oz compared to the Batch #7's 10oz. However, I'm not really able to feel the difference, and the pants is still as light and thin as ever. One thing I noticed immediately with the Yank's gi pants though, is how soft and smooth they are compared to all the other ripstop pants I have, including the White Mamba. Somehow they've managed to make it feel almost like silk, and I hope they continue this with future batches. Again, the gusset material is ripstop and not gold weave material.
Featuring a 6 point loop system, Shoyoroll is generous when it comes to drawstring loops. It also has stretchy rope drawstring, making it easy to tighten and adjust. The rope's a little long for me and tends to come undone during rough rolls, although that's easily remedied by cutting and burning the ends. Better longer than shorter.
Collar thickness is compared to the 7th Son and the White Mamba here, and you'll notice that the White Mamba is the thickest, although not by much compared to the Yank. That said, I have a feeling that not all Shoyorolls are created equal, and there will be slight variations across the batch, so I'm just going to make guess that the White Mamba and the Yank were intended to be just as thick.
Most of the reinforcements in the gi are where you expect them, although oddly, there's nothing at the armpits. I haven't run into any problems in that area yet, so I'm not sure how big a difference it makes.
The only concern is whether the taping will come loose with time, and I suspect that's a matter of rescue stitching on a regular basis. If you want to maintain the gi, you'll have to check for damages every now and then. The taping on my 7th Son's leg cuff came off at one point and I had to sew it back myself.
Shoyoroll gis are not easy to come by. While the Yank already retailed on the pricier side of things at USD $170 (SGD $211) during the preorder period, it goes for roughly USD $300 (SGD $372) on the eBay market. There's also the long wait. Preorder was in end November 2010, but the gi only arrived in end March/early April 2011. That's a 3-4 month gap.
Moreover, Shoyoroll has very limited retailers, although Budovideos does ship to this side of the ocean. Not much choice in the shipping options, but they are very fast, usually taking about 3-5 days to get my parcel over by FedEx.
Factoring all these in, Shoyoroll might not be worth the trouble if you just want a gi for regular use. Fortunately, Shoyoroll is changing its sales policy slightly, and they no longer release a limited by numbers edition. It used to be once 200 or whatever magic number of gis sold out, that was it. Now you have a 2 hour window to grab the gi you want, and as long as you log on during that preorder time slot, it'll be sitting there waiting to eat up your hard earned cash.
The Shoyoroll Yank is looks great without screaming for attention. It's perfect for those who want a piece of Shoyoroll but are not too keen on the bolder designs. However, the availability might just turn the regular guys off. If you're a collector or a fashionista, or simply love the waiting craze, then this is a must-have.
Check out the new Shoyoroll preorders coming up on Friday 20th May, 12-2pm Pacific Time (Saturday 21st May 3am-5am Singapore Time). Do note that these are gold weaves and not pearl weaves.

My A3 MKM Koral is a little big what to do?????
Any help would be much appreciated.
Awesome review with helpful detailed information. I appreciate the great clear pictures also.

If you feel strongly about the treatment of animals in our society then a career in animal welfare law can be extremely rewarding. However few lawyers are able to dedicate their career to animal welfare, partly because the opportunities do not arise to practice exclusively in this area and partly because animal welfare spans so many different areas of law that it is difficult to specialise. Those lawyers who do dedicate their career to animal welfare tend to work for animal protection and campaigning groups or in Government.
For lawyers working in private practice animal welfare law tends to form a sub-specialist area of interest within their practice area whether crime, negligence, public law and so forth. (See our interview with Gwendolen Morgan.)
Areas of specialism within the law include tort (veterinary negligence claims), crime (prosecution of cruelty offences) and public law (judicial review challenges to decisions of public authorities concerning animals). Environmental law also offers considerable scope for committed practitioners to use their legal skills to protect environmental and animal interests through conservation and protection of the habitat.
If you are interested in developing a career in animal welfare law we would offer the following advice:
- It is helpful to have a working knowledge of EU law, which is relevant to many areas of practice.
- If animal welfare is included as a module on you undergraduate course this would be a good option and may place you at an advantage when seeking employment in this field.
- If you are interested in working for an animal charity, identify groups that you would be interested in working for and enquire about opportunities for voluntary work or a secondment.
- Where possible attend meeting, lectures, seminars and other networking opportunities where you can meet lawyers already practising in this field.
- Become a member of ALAW's student group and keep informed about current issues through the Journal of Animal Welfare Law and ALAW's e-bulletin, which are sent free to our student supporters.
- Demonstrate your legal, drafting and research skills by contributing articles on animal law to legal journals, such as the Journal of Animal Welfare Law.
- Think creatively. A career in law enforcement (such as with the Wildlife Division of the police force or as an RSPCA inspector) or campaigning may be just as rewarding and enable you to put skills gained during your law degree to real practical effect.

Temporary Drop In Drug Smuggling
September 28, 2001
Heightened security along the U.S.-Mexico border in the past several weeks has led to a substantial decline in illegal drug shipments, U.S. Customs Service officials say. The decrease, however, may only be temporary.
- From September 11-23, some 8,707 pounds of drugs were seized in 123 incidents along the entire border from Brownsville, Texas, to San Diego.
- That compares to 44,160 pounds seized in the same period last year in 227 incidents.
- The Immigration and Naturalization Service also reported fewer illegal immigrants trying to cross into the U.S. following September 11.
- Within hours of the terrorist attacks, customs and immigration inspectors were stopping and searching as many vehicles as possible and questioning every pedestrian entering the U.S. from Mexico.
Customs officials think the decline may only be temporary, and in fact in the past few days there has been an increase in some seizures in some areas.
They theorize that supplies of drugs are too plentiful for those in the drug trade to reduce shipments permanently. Also, the temporary decline has not been sufficient to change the overall supply and prices of drugs in the U.S.

Thirteen tales are unspun from the deeply familiar, and woven anew into a collection of fairy tales that wind back through time. Acclaimed Irish author Emma Donoghue reveals heroines young and old in unexpected alliancessometimes treacherous, sometimes erotic, but always courageous. Told with luminous voices that shimmer with sensuality and truth, these age-old characters shed their antiquated cloaks to travel a seductive new landscape, radiantly transformed.Cinderella forsakes the handsome prince and runs off with the fairy godmother; Beauty discovers the Beast behind the mask is not so very different from the face she sees in the mirror; Snow White is awakened from slumber by the bittersweet fruit of an unnamed desire. Acclaimed writer Emma Donoghue spins new tales out of old in a magical web of thirteen interconnected stories about power and transformation and choosing one's own path in the world. In these fairy tales, women young and old tell their own stories of love and hate, honor and revenge, passion and deception. Using the intricate patterns and oral rhythms of traditional fairy tales, Emma Donoghue wraps age-old characters in a dazzling new skin.
2000 List of Popular Paperbacks for YA
Gr 8 UpDonoghue has shaped this collection around several traditional and literary fairy tales. What sets it apart from all the other retold tales is that the heroines realize that they are more interested in the princess, witch, or local farm girl instead of the prince, merchant, or woodsman. Each story is loosely connected to the next by the narrator asking another character how they came to be in a particular situation and the answer, "It is the tale of an apple" (or a handkerchief, hair, a needle, etc.) This device cleverly unites the pieces into a seamless, if lifeless, whole. The female characters, while never really demanding any emotional involvement of readers, are at least complex enough to be neither entirely good nor entirely evil. However, the male characters are all weak, stupid, boorish, or a combination of the three. This one-dimensional treatment makes for very dull reading. Like Francesca Block's work, Donoghue's writing is built on vivid images. Unlike Block, she fails to use that skill to sustain a sense of place or bring a character to life. Though Snow White, the Little Mermaid, Cinderella, Beauty, and others roam through the pages, their voices are dismally similar, with the exception of Gretel, who hasn't mastered speaking in whole sentences, and becomes, by default, the only memorable character in the book. The author must be applauded for wishing to provide teen girls enduring the painful process of coming out with characters who are reassuringly similar. However, even when these protagonists are describing their own treachery, their own fears, or their own sorrows, their emotions never break through the fog of monotone narration.Patricia A. Dollisch, DeKalb County Public Library, Decatur, GA

Dec 15, 2010 Ami Olson Uncategorized
On Monday Dec. 13, the city of Syracuse unveiled a new tactic to fight gun violence in the community, an anonymous gun tip hotline.
The "Raise Your Hands, Raise Your Voices" campaign includes donated advertising space on digital billboards throughout the city, posters and public radio service announcements.
"If you know where an illegal gun is, or if you know someone who has an illegal gun, this tip line will allow you to call in and leave that information," said Mayor Stephanie Miner.
She said most of the gun violence the city had experienced throughout the year had involved illegal or stolen guns.
"Young people are stashing these guns all over the place – start at home," said Chief of Police Frank Fowler. He suggested parents or guardians who have observed suspicious activity from a child should check any area of the home that the child considers their private space – especially bedrooms and closets.
Beyond the home, Fowler said vacant buildings in many communities are being used to stash "community guns," weapons kept in a secret place for use by several individuals, such as members of the same gang.
"There's someone in the neighborhood that sees this activity, going back and forth to vacant building," Fowler said. "That is suspicious activity. That's the type of stuff you can call anonymous tip hotline to report."
To report an illegal gun, suspicious activity or share any other information with the police anonymously, call 442-5300.
Think what you know isn't important enough to call the police with – or that they probably already know the details? Call anyway.
"Let us determine whether the information is pertinent," Fowler said.

As a part of a touring team, the best thing about YFC One is getting to travel around the country, sharing the gospel, performing in schools and playing at church events. It has been a great opportunity to be challenged to grow in my faith and it's been a good fun and really exciting.
I loved meeting so many people with the same passion of bringing the good news to young people in the UK. My personal faith and confidence has grown so much over this year and I have seen so much evidence of God working out his plan!
If you want to grow in leadership and have an opportunity to serve, this would be the year for you! Having to move away from home will break down your comfort zone and also force you to be more reliant on God. You will learn a lot of lessons not only about God, but yourself.
What I have loved the most about YFC One is getting to put my faith into action and working with lots of young people in a funny and relevant way, getting to share the gospel with them, showing them that Christianity isn't boring and is relevant to our lives!

The opportunity to grow and find out more about who God has designed you to be, and what he has called you to do, is not to be missed. The year is constantly revealing more about who God is and who I am in Him, and that's why I would recommend it to others.

The best thing about YFC One is seeing young people grow in their faith or coming to faith for the first time. It is a great training ground for the best practices in ministry, as you work with experienced people who have a great passion for Christ.
Thinking stepping out? Bravery is taking the risk, making the move and stepping out of your comfort zone. Think YFC 1.
Thinking sharing faith? From spoken word, dance and sports coaching to actions that speak louder, we'll help you share your faith in a way that makes sense to your gifting and personality. Think YFC 1.
Thinking community? Gather with other young adults and join a community of believers passionately seeking Jesus together. Think YFC 1.

As teams grow, organizations often draw a distinction between feature teams, which deliver the visible business value to the user, and component teams, which manage shared work. Steve Berczuk says that this distinction can help organizations be more productive and scale effectively, but he recognizes that not all shared work fits into this model. Some work is best handled by "specialists," that is people with unique skills. Although teams composed entirely of T-shaped people is ideal, certain skills are hard to come by and are used irregularly across an organization. Since these...
