Denver is losing some of its most iconic restaurants, including a trio that have been open for more than forty years. The last day of 2017 marked the last day of the downtown Broker, which had opened back in 1972. The Wazee Lounge and Supper Club is slated to serve its last pizza this month. And word came down this week that Mataam Fez, which opened in 1976, will close this month, though the owner hopes to reopen in another location. The news inspired a flood of memories....and comments. Recalls onetime Denver restaurant critic Thom Wise:
One of my favorite jobs ever! As a waiter, back in the late 70s. Yup, I wore a fez hat and poured sugary mint tea into a glass that was balanced on my foot!
Remembers Catherine:
I have been going here since I was a teenager! Spent my 21 birthday there before heading to Confetti!!! Love the food and belly dancers!!!
Says Sarah
Denver is losing its landmark restaurants! This was one of my favorites. The food wasn't always great, but the atmosphere was incredible. I hope they can recreate it in a new location.
As for the current spot, Sharleen says:
A Colfax classic. It'll be remodeled; shingles and Moroccan exterior accents will be replaced for a Colorado-cube look: metal railing, flat wood accents, lots of glass.
Concludes Angelika:
This is exactly what gentrification looks like!

The Wazee has been serving up pizza since 1974 — since before this part of lower downtown was nicknamed LoDo. After it closes later this month, it will be transformed into a French "bistronomy" restaurant.
The Broker, which was renowned for its big bowls of shrimp and old-school ambience, occupied the bottom level of a long-closed bank; you could even dine in the old vault. The building has a new owner; that space will no longer be a restaurant.
As for Mataam Fez, owner Abdelah M. (he prefers not to use his last name) says the building where the restaurant has been for more than four decades has been sold and that the new owners did not offer a lease extension. Because of that, Mataam Fez will close on Sunday, January 21 — but a search is on for a new home.
When did you last eat at Mataam Fez? Will you miss these longtime restaurants? What other iconic spots would you be sorry to lose? Tell us in a comment or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

WPP CEO, head of the world's biggest marcoms group, has given a fascinating interview to Brand Republic's Arif Durrani in which he outlines the group's strategy and what he thinks of his competitors (apparently Interpublic's HR director, whoever that may be, devotes his life to nicking WPP staff).
And all very logical it is too.
But Sorrell is the classic left brain person, although he's very creative in business in terms of the deals he does.
He doesn't really understand how creative people work, why they often seem mad, why they resist structures and logic. Maybe John Wren at Omnicom and Maurice Levy at Publicis don't either but you suspect they give Andrew Robertson at BBDO and Kevin Roberts at Saatchi a bit more leeway than Sorrell's managers get.
Next week we have an extract from BBH's Sir John Hegarty's book Hegarty on Advertising which comes pretty close to explaining how creativity works in advertising, and why it's so damned difficult.
I suspect Sir Martin wouldn't agree with what Sir John has to say.
Anyway the Brand Republic interview is worth reading and Sir Martin is one of the wonders of the age.
In an earlier life he was financial director of Saatchi & Saatchi when it was run, manically, by Charles and Maurice (for that, read Charles).
Maybe he still bears those creative scars.

A Creative Development showing
Careful: she might hear you.
Earshot is a work-in-development driven by Kate's lifetime obsession of eavesdropping on the private conversations of complete strangers.
For two weeks in February, Kate will be in anonymous residence in public St. Kilda locations, listening in to your spoken exchanges. Situated with laptop in hand and a touch-typing speed of 40 words per minute, she'll take note of your arguments, your negotiations, your lists of ailments, your tender endearments, your children's tantrums, and your private utterances. She'll be writing them down and using them later.
Built using overheard stories gathered from the general public in cafes, parks and trams, Earshot is an epic poem of eavesdropping, combining the Homeric tradition of oral storytelling with voice-activated text projection to offer a fly-on-the-wall insight into the lives of others: personal, epic, comic and sometimes devastating.
Concept, Creation & Performance: Kate Hunter
Technical Consultan: Jem Savage
Performance, Sound Composition: Josephine Lange

Ordered the book through amazon this morning £8.99 plus a couple of pounds delivery and should get it friday.
I'm loathe to give the UKBA anymore of my money than I have to, but you can buy books
Well if there's an Indian sub continent version it should become a best seller but the Thai version probably not although it is is somewhat corupt, is it not to make the rules then sell a book on how to qualify for them
colin 244
To be honest you should just use the version from the UKBA as the questions are wordered differently in other book, easy for us (native speakers) to understand by not so easy for our spouses. As the question are in a different context but mean the same. Also remaind the person who is taking the LITUK they can wear head phones on the computer as they maybe alble to pick the question from hearing it rather than reading it, and can play the question back as many times as possible.
There is also a very good chance that the content of the test might be revised by the time October 2013 arrives.

Smith: A.J. Hinch's ability to adapt, evolve make him perfect fit for Astros
A.J. Hinch is the only Astros manager to win a World Series.
In just four seasons, Hinch already ranks fourth all-time in franchise managerial victories and is set to pass Art Howe early during the 2019 campaign.
Hinch cracks up George Springer, pushes Gerrit Cole, gets the best out of Justin Verlander, handles Roberto Osuna, connects with Jose Altuve, allows Alex Bregman to be Bregman, and stands his ground with Jeff Luhnow.
One of the strongest things you used to be able to say about the rebuilt Astros is they made the perfect hire with Hinch.
That's now old news and completely obvious.
It's gotten to the point that it's hard to imagine the Astros without Hinch. And on a star-drenched club loaded with huge names, the skipper Jim Crane and Luhnow took a shot on in September 2014 has become a centerpiece of the franchise's golden era.
"I always say that I have to be the most consistent heartbeat in the room," said Hinch, who's 374-274 during the regular season, has three playoff years in four seasons, and is 18-14 in the postseason. "What I didn't know I was saying when I said that was I was going to be one of the only — or one of the few — consistent ones. And I think that is something you have to adjust to as the sport evolves and as the organization evolves and people come and go. I like that our standards haven't changed. And I'd like to think that's because of the tone that's set by Jim and Jeff and me, as a trio, on what it means to be an Astro."
American League Division Series in 2015. World Series in '17. AL Championship Series in '18. Answering 101 wins with 103 and entering the spring of 2019 as a preseason Fall Classic favorite. Hinch has watched the Astros' world rise and fully change in less than five years. He's also under contract through 2022, which means the husband and father of two daughters isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
"It meant a lot to me," Hinch said of the four-year extension that was announced last August. "Obviously, we all like to be rewarded for things that we do. You can never expect it in this game because it's a business and you don't know how it's going to work out. But Jim and Jeff have been direct with me from the very beginning. They want to have a core leadership group together.
"They told me that they would reward us for the successes that we've had. And they tore up my contract after my first year and redid it. They gave me a new extension when they didn't have to last season. I love stability. And I love the fact that they believe in me enough to take this organization — that's already at a high level — and try to make it better. And that they want me to steer the field portion of it is pretty awesome."
To Brodie Van Wagenen, Hinch's extended stay in Houston is a well-deserved reward for a 44-year-old man who's long taken pride in elevating everyone around him.
"He's got great integrity," said Van Wagenen, general manager of the New York Mets and formerly Hinch's agent. "He's a man that has always been true to himself. He's never projected to be anyone that he's not. And the ability to communicate with people has always been a strength."
Listen to one of the game's greatest modern pitchers describe life as an Astros player, and Hinch's daily impact on the Astros' on-field and clubhouse culture shines through.
"People that watch the Houston Astros, I think one of the first things they say is, 'It looks like you guys have a lot of fun.' And we really do, and I'm glad that resonates to our fan base or baseball fans," Verlander said. "I mean, what you see is honestly how we interact. We're a big family. We like to joke and have fun with each other. But we also know when it's time to turn it on."
Crane and Luhnow turned to Hinch after moving on from Brad Mills and missing on Bo Porter. Since the 2014 offseason, Hinch has constantly altered his approach and evolved both behind the scenes and within the dugout. The tactics he employed during a 2015 season that stunned baseball — the Astros' win total increased by 16 games, and they nearly reached the ALCS during Hinch's first year in orange and blue — don't work the same in 2019.
He still alternates calm and cool with passion and fire. But Hinch has seen almost everything the modern game has to offer in four long seasons. The silly fun still remains, but professionalism is at an all-time high. When you play for the Astros, you are playing only to win.
"As a manager, you certainly feel more confident in the things you want to do, and you've learned from experiences … things you do right, things you'd do better," Hinch said. "Just in general, it's the culture around you that's also growing.
"You have to think about the relationships that have been built since 2015 with Springer and Altuve and Bregman. Will Harris was here at the very beginning. Jake Marisnick was here at the very beginning. … Guys on our team now, that familiarity goes a long way. And it allows me to do things that are more rapid pace or maybe more thorough than I could do in 2015. And that challenges me to continue to have to find ways to reach these players. As the success comes and the expectations rise, so does my job. My job changes and evolves every year."
For everything the Astros accomplished last season, 103 wins wasn't enough. The longer that Hinch guides the home team inside a roaring Minute Maid Park, the more he's made aware of the challenges inherent in baseball.
I've long believed that being an NFL head coach is one of the most demanding and difficult jobs in the world. I'm not sure Texans coach Bill O'Brien would trade gigs with Hinch, even with the promise of an Astros roster saturated with All-Stars.
Decisions, decisions, decisions, decisions. Get a single one wrong, and talk radio is immediately calling for your head. The year after you won a franchise's first World Series and during the season you win 103 games.
"We play the most games of any major sport. That alone is going to create a lot of different challenges across the year, whether it's injuries, whether that's change, whether that's just peak performance, poor performance," said Hinch, a Stanford product who now resides in The Woodlands. "It's a very difficult season to get through and be standing at the end of the year. … That always keeps you humble in that you can have a few injuries here and there and you can look up at your division and see that you're not the best or the last team standing.
"I'm proud of the fact that we've had four winning seasons. I'm proud of the culture that we have. Some of the best feedback that I get is from the new players. Michael Brantley comes in and immediately blends in and wants to know how we do it. Justin Verlander … Gerrit Cole comes over in a trade, and they immediately embrace our culture. As a manager, that's what you kind of watch other organizations be elite at. You watch the New England Patriots and how they've been able to do that. You watch the Braves back in the day under Bobby Cox and (John) Schuerholz."
Hinch mentions NBA dynasties constructed by the Warriors and Spurs. Which is another reminder that the rebuilt Astros have always wanted to compete on a generational level.
Long drives to the suburbs — and the odd, slow comfort of Houston traffic — allow Hinch to decompress. Family is always at the forefront, and pictures of his daughters are regularly seen near his office desk inside Minute Maid and at spring training in West Palm Beach, Fla. Recent offseason trips (Africa, fishing in the Florida Keys, San Diego) have bridged old seasons with new ones.
But Hinch's baseball energy is primarily derived from the grand old game. It keeps a 44-year-old young. The sport allows a 1996 third-round pick (350 MLB games, .219 career average) to remain directly connected to an old-fashioned pastime that is constantly changing.
"The players feed me a lot of energy," Hinch said. "We have such a fun group that being able to lead them brings a lot of energy. I love people. I love trying to mentor or lead or push the right buttons. The competition. The opportunity is probably the biggest thing that drives me.
"We have such an opportunity. And maybe I'm a little too historic, but I want to look back and say this was the best decade of Astros baseball. … That level of expectation upon yourself will get you out of bed every day."
There's an old-soul component to the Astros' fifth-year manager. Analytics-obsessed MLB is increasingly known for its new-age leaders: Alex Cora, Aaron Boone, Kevin Cash, Gabe Kapler, Craig Counsell. But the "other" side of Hinch is seen in this answer.
"I still believe in the wisdom of the game," he said. "Managing against — not to put them in an older category — but Bruce Bochy and John Gibbons last year before he was done … Joe Maddon, Mike Scioscia before he was done. There's a great respect for these guys being able to stay in the game as long — Bud Black — as they have. Ned Yost. To still be good at it.
"And the challenge of sure, we have all the fancy information, we're the new young managers, we're supposed to be on the cutting edge of everything. But these guys that have evolved, it's still fun for me to match wits with them. Because they've been able to evolve to the times but also keep coming to their core wisdom."
The Astros keep changing. Hinch keeps evolving.
If the annual World Series drive continues, it's easy to see where this is all going.
Hinch will soon walk out of Minute Maid Park one day as the best manager in Astros history. And then the leader — who cracks up Springer, connects with Altuve and allows Bregman to be Bregman — will just keep winning.

$60 Fee For .BM Domain Names Now In Effect
The Ministry of Home Affairs issued a statement advising the public that the registration of .BM domain names is no longer a free service, and as of April 1st, 2015, they incur a $60 annual registration fee.
This follows after MPs approved an amendment to the Electronic Communications Act in the House of Assembly last month to pave the way for the $60 annual fee for Bermuda domains.
A spokesperson said, "As of April 1st 2015 a $60 registration fee was implemented in the recent parliamentary session for new domain name registrations and an annual renewal fee of $60 upon the registration date of currently registered domain names.
"The annual renewal fee is due on the expiration day/month of your domain name referenced by the "Registration Accepted Date" listed on the bermudanic.bm for your domain name. There are no exemptions from the fees.
"There will be a one month grace period given for registrations that are due to expire in the month of April 2015, so registrants will have until the end of May 2015 to renew their domain name. Registrants should go on to bermudanic.bm to perform a WHOIS look up search of their domain name, to obtain their registration date.
"In addition, the registration of domain names is no longer restricted to registered companies, charities or organizations, but is now open to members of the public. However, individuals are required to provide proof of local address.
Registrar General Aubrey Pennyman said, ".BM domain names can be registered by any person that is a resident of Bermuda, which is an advantage to those who have been unable to register a .BM domain name previously.
"The Registry General is also in the process of acquiring a new robust online registration system for domain name registrations. We will also be providing DNS hosting in the near future, for an additional fee. Providing this one-stop-shop service will save clients the additional hassle of having to seek the services of another web host provider."
The Acting Minister of Home Affairs, Dr. Grant Gibbons, said: "This is a change for Bermuda, as we were possibly the only jurisdiction that did not charge for its country code top level domain name. The new fee will support the implementation of the new online registration system and allow for more efficient administration of the .BM domain names for clients."
Until the new system is installed, payments can only be made at the Registry General Office, on the 4th floor of the Government Administration Building. Once the system has been installed, all payments will be made online.
"Although it is just as convenient and in most cases cheaper to have a .COM domain name, having a .BM domain name is specific to Bermuda and is beneficial in targeting the local market,"Mr. Pennyman explained.
"For entrepreneurs, whether providing goods or services on-island and/or overseas, a .BM domain name identifies your business as a Bermuda based business. It also may be a bit more difficult finding .COM domain names available when using key words associated with your business, as opposed to using a .BM.
"Another benefit of having a .BM domain name is a search engine advantage, as Google has location-specific settings for many countries, allowing users to search the specific TLD or for results relevant to their area."

Could we not just go with .com addresses and pay about $10 a year?
You can. And get them more easily and with better service.
This just ended the .bm as a viable option.
It is still a viable option if the .com you want is taken. If you are a serious business and the .bm is available and the .com isn't, then the $50 difference is more than worth it from a marketing standpoint. There is nothing more ridiculous when a Bermuda company has an email/domain address that is so long just to find something that works (e.g. bermudarealestateandrentals.com….just pay the $60 and get something that says you're legit and serious about doing business). Now if the .com is available, different story but certainly not the death of the .bm. In fact, with it now being open to the public, my guess is you will see very little fall, if not a small increase, over the years.
Or if you want a domain name that associates your company's name with poop. Maybe we could go out and get a better TLD at least for sixty bucks? There is no way that I am going to pay that for such an unappealing and unrecognisable domain.
I foresee a mass exodus from the .BM domain in the near future. I see no problem with charging for domain names but $60 is way over the top.
Let's hope they at least improve their web portal. At the moment it is pathetic!
It should be modified so that it is self-service and fully automated. At the moment it is an archaic, manual, time consuming process which could take as long as a week before your domain is processed.
This reminds me of the banks who first told its shareholders (Customers) " Use the internet to do all your transactions and check your balances, its free" Now there's a charge to for it." One bank up to $35.00 monthly.
There comes a point where where you say 'screw it'. I don't need your $60 .BM or some other rediculous fee. I don't need that class G or H car & the license fee that you charge. I don't need other things that Government charges way too uch for & gives nothing or little in return. I am tired of being screwed over by Government which just wastes the money away.
Keep your .BM. Nobody knows or cares what .BM is anyway.
charities should get .org.bm domains for free.
good luck getting a response emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.
Gov should use the whois database to automatically email us when our name comes up for renewal instead of having us all check…there will be an uproar when one of the Re's gets its .bm shutdown for not renewing on time.
Why not wait until your new portal is ready to accept online payment instead of making us walk in payments. How archaic. Hopefully the faxing in of information will go away as well.
So $0.164 per day is too expensive for a .bm name but some people pay twenty fives times + that daily for one designer coffee.
Complete rip off….
This is nickel & dime annoyance….

In which, during a Euro Beach Soccer League game a week or so ago, Portugal's Bruno Torres suffers a sickening double knee rupture after falling awkwardly while attempting to block an acrobatic effort from the Spanish striker.
BE WARNED: TORRES' INJURY IS TRULY HORRIFIC. Believe us when we tell you it's not for the faint of heart or stomach…
Yeesh. Unsurprisingly there's a chance Torres may never be able to walk again, let alone play football. Ficar bem logo amigo.

HARRISBURG - The United States Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania announced today that Mason David Powell, age 28, of Biglerville, Pennsylvania pleaded guilty on July 25, 2017, before Chief United States District Court Judge Christopher C. Conner to sexual exploitation of children, production of child pornography, possession of child pornography, and online coercion and enticement of minors.
According to U.S. Attorney Bruce D. Brandler, in 2015, Powell admitted to enticing minor boys to engage in graphic sexual text message exchanges with him, eventually escalating to coercing these victims to produce pornographic images of themselves and send them to him online. Powell was arrested by the Adams County District Attorney's Office Criminal Investigation Division on October 17, 2015, and law enforcement seized Powell's cell phone at the time of his arrest. The FBI forensically examined Powell's cell phone and discovered that Powell had downloaded and saved child pornography images on this device. Through further investigation, the FBI identified and interviewed multiple additional minor victims in the Biglerville community that Powell either coerced online, produced images of child pornography of or sexually assaulted.
This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Adams County District Attorney's Office Criminal Investigation Division. Assistant United States Attorney Meredith A. Taylor prosecuted the case.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Led by the United States Attorneys' Offices and the Criminal Division's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who sexually exploit children, and to identify and rescue victims. For more information about Project Safe Childhood, please visit www.usdoj.gov/psc For more information about internet safety education, please visit www.usdoj.gov/psc and click on the tab "resources."
A sentence following a finding of guilt is imposed by the Judge after consideration of the applicable federal sentencing statutes and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines.
The production of child pornography charge carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years imprisonment, and the charge of online coercion and enticement of minors requires a 10 year mandatory minimum sentence. The maximum penalty under federal law is life imprisonment, a term of supervised release following imprisonment, and a fine. Under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, the Judge is also required to consider and weigh a number of factors, including the nature, circumstances and seriousness of the offense; the history and characteristics of the defendant; and the need to punish the defendant, protect the public and provide for the defendant's educational, vocational and medical needs. For these reasons, the statutory maximum penalty for the offense is not an accurate indicator of the potential sentence for a specific defendant.

Sunday, June 24, 2007The Meaning Of Life
One afternoon in the early 1950s, a young biochemist left his suburban lab bench at Britain's Mill Hill National Institute of Medical Research and boarded a tube train to Leicester Square. His destination was on nearby Lisle Street, in an area which today makes up part of London's glittering West End theatre district. But in the post-war years the sector was better known as a hectic hub for two of humanity's oldest professions. Only one of these was of interest to the young scientist. The girls hawking their wares seemed to sense his single-mindedness and kept their distance as the greenhorn scientist turned his attention to his true quarry: the vast abundance of second-hand military hardware that could be found in the shops lining Lisle Street.
Specifically, he was looking for war surplus radar equipment. His intention was to cannibalize a suitable radio frequency transmitter for the purpose of reanimating dead, frozen hamsters.
The purposeful young biochemist was working in an exciting field so new that it didn't yet have an official name, although eventually the term "cryobiology"– literally meaning "frosty life"– gained currency. One of his colleagues at Mill Hill was Dr Audrey Smith, the leading light in a series of hamster freezing and reanimation experiments. These dramatic and oft-quoted experiments have since achieved legendary status among cryobiologists, including researchers of the credible variety and researchers of the we'll-freeze-your-head-and-bring-it- back-to-life-attached-to-the-body-of-a-spaniel-when-future-technology-allows variety. Yet they have never been repeated.
The basic procedure worked like this:
1. Obtain desired number of Golden Hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus).
2. Place in ice bath at temperature -5°C.
3. Leave hapless rodents to cool until hearts have stopped beating, respiration has ceased, animals are frozen rigid and are-– by any conventional definition of life– no longer alive.
4. After 60-90 minutes, remove hamsters from ice bath.
5. If required, cut sections of one or more control animals to determine degree of freezing. Please note– animals thus examined should not be used in subsequent reanimation attempts.
6. Warm the hearts of the frozen hamsters until they start up again, followed by gentle re-warming of the rest of the animal(s) until miraculous recovery occurs.
7. Determine number of survivors.
Serves 5.
In the initial experiments, reanimation of the hamsters was carried out using the crude method of pressing a hot metal spoon against the animal's chest until circulation resumed. The important thing was to warm the heart first- the researchers soon found that simply placing the hamsters in a bath of warm water would lead to an over-rapid resumption of circulation, promptly stopping the heart again due to contact with the freezing cold blood returning from the animals' extremities. By applying heat to the heart first a more gradual and ultimately successful reanimation could take place.
But it was felt that the use of the hot metal spoons was a step too far; the burning and singing of the skin caused obvious distress to the reanimated animals. The purpose of the young biochemist's visit to Lisle Street was to make this aspect of the re-warming process more humane. By adapting an old aircraft radio frequency transmitter to emit microwaves, a diathermy device was made which could heat the hamsters' hearts externally without damaging the skin in the same way a microwave oven cooks ready meals without melting the plastic container.
The astute scientist who pioneered this technique and later braved the whores of Lisle Street to find suitable equipment was a man named James Lovelock. In his autobiography Homage to Gaia he describes how his work on hamster-reanimation got him thinking about the meaning of life. According to conventional definitions of "life," the frozen hamsters were decidedly dead; the unfortunate rodents weren't moving, they weren't breathing, their hearts had stopped, and they certainly weren't eating, drinking or reproducing. Yet they could be made almost as good as new with a little bit of hot-spoon or microwave therapy. He wondered if "life" might have a broader meaning. This set him on the path to the theory for which he is most well known: the Gaia Hypothesis.
James Lovelock with statue of Gaia in background. Photo (c) Comby InstituteThirteen years after he left the Mill Hill laboratories and the field of cryobiology, he finally published the landmark paper Atmospheric homeostasis by and for the biosphere: the Gaia Hypothesis with his biologist collaborator, Lynn Margulis. Gaia theory proposes the existence of a system of complex feedback mechanisms that work across the whole of the Earth's surface; these involve both living and non-living parts of the biosphere which act to keep the chemistry and temperature of the planetary surface comfortable for life. In some important respects this entire system could be considered as akin to 'living' itself. Lovelock's novelist friend William Golding found an appropriate name from Greek mythology: that of the Earth Goddess, Gaia.
At first the idea was met with disbelief– then with ridicule. To this day Gaia theory is still far from being universally accepted among the scientific community. Although Lovelock was careful to stress that his theory wasn't suggesting that the Earth was actually alive– only that the Earth system mimics a living, self-regulating entity in some ways– many scientists struggled with the analogy. For a start the Earth doesn't eat or move purposefully, and it has never displayed any discernible interest in mating with neighbouring planets. It was a difficult concept to reconcile with the traditionalist view that something was alive only if it met certain established criteria, such as being capable of metabolism or growth.
Meanwhile cryobiology research continued. By the time Lovelock left Mill Hill in the early 1960s the freezing and successful reanimation of hamsters using microwave diathermy was almost routine. But there were limitations to the technique. For a start, the temperatures involved never went further than a few degrees below the freezing point of water and only for an hour or so at a time; although in some cases more than 80% of the water in the skin and 60% of the water in the brain had changed to ice, the animals were never 100% frozen. Thus most of the hamsters' cells were spared the tattering which is characteristic of full ice crystal formation.
The results were certainly dramatic, demonstrating that it is possible to lower complex organisms to below-freezing temperatures and then successfully reanimate them.

For 2,000 years, the document written by one of antiquity's greatest mathematicians was ill treated, torn apart and allowed to decay. Now, US historians have decoded the Archimedes book. But is it really new?
When the Romans advanced to Sicily in the Second Punic War and finally captured the proud city of Syracuse, one of their soldiers met an old man who, surrounded by the din of battle, was calmly drawing geometric figures in the sand. "Do not disturb my circles," the eccentric old man called out. The legionnaire killed him with his sword.
That, at least, is the legend.
The truth is a different story altogether. Placed in charge of King Hieron II's artillery equipment, Archimedes later played an important military role during the siege of Syracuse. He invented powerful catapults to defend his homeland, using cranes to hurl heavy boulders from the walls of the fortress at enemy ships. Mirrors were also used, it is said, to direct burning rays of sunlight at the Roman armada, setting the ships on fire. The Sicilians resisted the onslaught of the ambitious Roman republic for more than two years.
In short, had the legionnaire really speared the eccentric old man with his sword, he would have done the Romans a great service. In addition to being an oddball scholar, Archimedes was a skilled inventor of weapons.
How Many Grains of Sand
He was so skilled, in fact, that it almost seemed that he could stop Rome's large army single-handedly. But in the end Archimedes fell victim to brute force after all. One of the greatest inventors of all time, Archimedes was killed at the age of 73. His murder, notes British philosopher Paul Strathern, was "the Romans' only decisive contribution to mathematics."
Archimedes prepared the way for integral calculus and approximated the number Pi. He discovered the law of leverage and invented new formulas to calculate the properties of cylinders and spheres. He once yelled "Eureka" while bathing, after having dreamed up the concept of specific weight while splashing around. He even specified the number of grains of sand that could fit into the universe: 1063. Until then the Greeks had merely left it at a "myriad" (or 10,000).
Find out how you can reprint this DER SPIEGEL article in your publication. "It took almost 2,000 years before anyone else could hold a candle to him," Strathern says about this extraordinary man, who lived from 285 to 212 B.C. But brilliance had its drawbacks. Archimedes was often so engrossed in thought that he would forget to eat -- and he bathed infrequently. But aside from that, researchers know little about this oddball from the early days of geometry and mechanics. Unfortunately many of his writings were lost, while the rest have been handed down in the form of Arabic and Latin copies. Vandals destroyed his famous planetarium, with its water-powered wheelworks.
But now a Greek original has been discovered after all. In "The Archimedes Codex," recently published in English, two US researchers describe the decoding of a manuscript from the early days of mathematics. It took the authors years of painstaking work to "extract the secrets from these faded letters.

With his traditional Mongolian wedding ceremony just around the corner, 56-year-old Bao Xishun, the world's tallest man, has been busy looking for a bed that is large enough for his 2.36-m frame.
Bao and his bride, Xia Shujuan, registered their marriage on March 26. The ceremony is scheduled to take place in Chifeng, a city in the the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, on July 21.
"Everything is ready for my wedding, except for a bed capable of fitting me at our new home," Bao said last week after shopping around local furniture markets. The media have urged people to offer solutions to the dilemma.

Though I wish the colors were a style.
Like a woman could also wear a blue version and a male could wear a purple version. And I do LOVE ME some purple.
I know its a reference to the 2 main characters, but kind of a missed opportunity not to have different options.
But with that said, love it! I do love me the artstyle of Guacamelee, I have a huge fetish for Mexican designs like Dia de los Muertos. A great piece!

Over the past decade, the Middle East has been plagued by a state of turbulence instability, violence, poverty and local wars which debilitate societies, drive them to abysmal failures, and bring them on the verge of collapse.
The state of instability encouraged extremist groups to exploit the state of insecurity by attacking churches, setting them on fire, and eliminating a centuries-old sites that represent rich civilizations as well as negatively impacting interfaith harmony and common living. Over the past years, efforts have under way to restore these churches, which represent an invaluable heritage in the Middle East, the cradle of Christianity.
Christian monuments, museums, and heritage sites have been caught in the cross-fires of ideological conflict. Armed conflicts in the Middle East are now at the heart of political, ideological, and cultural identity issues in the region. Numerous World Heritage sites which have been added to UNESCO World Heritage List are in danger.
One of the bright images in the Middle East region is the assiduous efforts under way to restore churches. One of the recently restored churches is the Maronite Cathedral of St. Elijah in Aleppo which was destroyed during the civil war.
In 2013 the extremists targeted the cathedral. When this area of the city was liberated in 2016, a handful of Christians celebrated Christmas there.
Maronite Archbishop Joseph Tobij of Aleppo said that the cathedral's restoration had both a symbolic and a practical significance.
"In the symbolic sense it is a message to the parishioners and Christians in Aleppo and the world that we are still in this country despite our dwindling numbers, and the restoration of the cathedral is proof of this. The mouths must continue to praise God in this place despite all the difficulties," he said in an interview with Aid to the Church in Need (ACN).
With the help of the pontifical foundation ACN and other institution, the cathedral has been rebuilt in an impressive way.
Executive President of ACN Thomas Heine-Geldrern said, "When we now see the Cathedral of Saint Elias, it is a miracle. It is fantastic that its former splendor shines. Hopefully it will once again be the center of the entire Christian community, as it was until the agonizing war."
Thomas Heine-Geldern asked the Syrian Christians to enter the new cathedral and to pray for the thousands of benefactors who helped finance these works. In fact, it is wonderful to see the cathedral shining with its former splendor and it is hoped that it will once again become the center of the whole Christian community, just as it was before this war.
While the wound in this cathedral is the first to heal, there is another that will take longer to recover. Before the war, there were around 180,000 Christians in Aleppo. Now there are no more than 30,000. The restoration of this Maronite cathedral represents a new beginning for all of them.
Syria has six cultural world heritage sites and they are all on the danger list. The heritage site of Palmyra is an example of the destruction that can come from war. The site was added to the in-danger list in 2013 when it was eventually captured by ISIS.
"World Heritage sites have suffered considerable and sometimes irreversible damage. Four of them have been used for military purposes, namely Palmyra, the Crac des Chevaliers, the Saint Simeon Church in the Ancient villages of Northern Syria, and Aleppo including the Aleppo Citadel."
It is hoped that peace will be restored in the region, so that all these churches and holy place will resume their roles of praising the Lord for His grace, in the hope that all peoples in the region will enjoy normal life based on equality, justice, freedom of worship, and harmony.
"We pray for our churches and say, "God of life, you have promised to be with us every day, also in difficult days, like in times like these. Give us clarity in our minds, strength in our work and discernment, rest as we sleep, and peace in our minds. Be with those who need help more than we do ourselves, help us to see what we can offer from your love. Be our Shepherd, protect our churches, and help us be active as members in Your Church so as to give salvation to all those who believe in You. Amen."

Tips & Strategies (6)
Another good way to limit game play is to base the finish time on number of rounds (like Small World or similar games). That gives a rather good measure of where you're at, and gives each player the same number of turns. It does make exploding in a higher tier ship more painful, but then that's what shields are for. 🙂
One of the largest issues we've had with the game has been that some items feel a little too random. One player has a ship with tier 1 engines and rolls well, they move 15 in one round. Next a player with tier 3 engines rolls poorly and moves 4. How does one make the game still enjoyable, while keeping a balance?
We found a way: All dice rolls for engines and blasters now use d4 (and occasionally d6) to accomplish their goal. Engines/blasters are now d6, 2d4, 3d4, and missiles become 2d4, 3d4, and 2d4+2d6. It raises the base, and redistributes the curve a bit to level out the randomness. Even with super low rolls on a tier 3 engine now, the minimal move is 9.
The only one we don't augment in this way is shields, since they tend to be over powered already. Those we set as 1d6, 1d8 and 2d6, which makes them a little weaker and reducing the need for a d12 in the game at all.
I heard this from Tom Vasel and it has worked very well for us. We set a two hour timer and see who is ahead in fame point when the timer goes off.
One of the things that makes Xia such a wonderful game is it was designed to be open, and to let the players make adjustments to how they want to play the game. One thing that we've tried a few times in my house is at the start of the game, each player draws a level one title (meaning it is only worth one victory point). Players then start off with that title and ability. It seems to speed things up a little bit and its fun to have a little something at the beginning of the game.
Only for the engine outfit,because rolling a 1 sucks,we roll 2 dices.For engine tier 1:roll 2D6,choose the highest #.For tier 2:roll 1D8+1D6,choose the highest #.Tier 3:roll 1D12+1D8,choose the highest #.
Have fun 🙂
In exploration: if you draw a tile with a market on it and it would be placed next to another one,put the tile aside and draw another one,until there's one with no market on it.Take all the tiles that was put aside and reshuffle them with the rest of unexplored tiles.Prevents 1 sector commerce route and adds more challenges for people that takes the merchant type side of the game.(these rules can be used for gates too)
Enjoy 🙂

And with the launch of Adda247 Publications, it also brings to you two exclusive edition books for Banking, Insurance, and SSC Aspirants.
Data Interpretation is an essential part of Quantitative Aptitude Section of every Banking Examination. 10-15 questions in every Preliminary Banking Examination are from Data Interpretation. And when we talk about Mains Examination, SBI has always conducted it's mains examination keeping the name of the Quantitative Aptitude Section as Data Analysis & Interpretation and IBPS PO too followed the same pattern. So, we hope, now you understand how important it is for a banking aspirant to practice Data Interpretation.
The DI's generally asked are Tabular DI's, Bar Graphs, Line Graphs, Cumulative Bar Graph, Pie Chart, Radar Graph, and Missing DI. The new pattern DI's that are now being asked in the exams can be based on any miscellaneous topics like Time and Work, Pipes and Cisterns, etc. So one cannot expect the old pattern questions only that used to be based on simple Profit and Loss, Percentage or Ratio and Proportion Concept. Any of the old or new pattern DI's can be asked in the upcoming banking examinations.
- 1500+ Questions Based on Latest Pattern with detailed Solutions
- Covers all the types of DI such as Table| Pie | Bar | Line | Caselet |Radar

So, considering all the significance that these portions carry, this book would provide all the necessary help and guidance in clearing the given sections smoothly.
Puzzles are an important part of Reasoning Section, the one that you cannot escape from. It is the topic that dominates the Reasoning Section of all sorts of banking exams. So many other miscellaneous topics too are now being asked in the form of puzzles. The number of questions being asked on puzzles ranges from 60 to 65 percent of the total number of questions in the Reasoning Section. So it is now very obvious that the strategy of ignoring questions based on puzzles, thereby solving other questions won't be working anymore as neglecting questions on puzzles can risk the likelihood of you clearing the sectional cut off or scoring satisfactory marks in the Reasoning Section.

Finding The Right Camera
In the twenty first century, video is remarkably relevant. The bottom line here is that if you want your website to be successful, it's absolutely paramount that you post quality videos. It should be stated, of course, that this can be a challenge. It's important to invest in strong equipment if you expect to make a good video. Keep in mind that the video can only be as clear and smooth as the camera that you use to shot it.
The camera is particularly relevant for action videos. Modern enhancements of camera technology have dramatically improved action videos. Keep in mind that as a videographer, your needs are entirely your own. It's your job to find a camera that meets your specific demands. If you're serious about finding a great camera, it's important that you define your own expectations. To begin, you'll want to look at price. Be aware that you should not need to spend a fortune to find a camera that inspires confidence. If you do your homework, you should find a camera that fits within your price range.
If you're in the market for a new GoPro, it's important that you know where to look. You will usually want to go in one of two primary directions. Some people will go online, but others will visit retail outlets. There are pros and cons to both of these approaches. You'll want to visit a retail store if you need to get your GoPro right now. You should know, however, that these stores often have higher prices. The other factor here is that the selection may be wanting. As you may know, there is a better approach. By going online, you can get the GoPro camera that you need. If you don't know where to begin, consider using a good search engine. There are hundreds of online retailers that specialize in action cameras. By doing your homework, you can get the GoPro that you deserve.
It's worth stating that camera technology is always improving. If you're looking for a GoPro, you should have many different models to consider. Take the time to define your own needs before you purchase a camera. As you may imagine, price and features are connected to one another. This means that you should only pay for the features that you will actually use. You'll want to read several reviews before you take action. A strong review should help you come to a conclusion about a camera's utility.
As you look for a camera, you'll want to think about stabilization. When you're shooting videos, you'll want them to be smooth. If you're a serious video professional, it's crucial that you find a reliable GoPro camera.

The songs of ABBA, Queen and even Pharrell Williams will be lifting the roof at the sixtieth birthday of City Sounds Choir this weekend. Taranaki Community News caught up with the choir's musical director Sue Lupton to find out more.
Hi Sue, can you tell us a little bit about yourself and what you do?
I trained as a primary school teacher but now have a wonderful work/life balance teaching music and two school choirs at Central School three days a week, as well as private piano students. This leaves precious days off to spend in my garden and with my family and my dog!
You're the musical director of the City Sounds Choir. Can you tell us more about the choir and what they do?
The choir is for anyone who likes to sing. We are not elite or exclusive, and there are no auditions.
To me, choirs are for getting the best sound we can out of the members we have. I love the inclusive, friendly nature of City Sounds. People of all ages and from all walks of life come together and make a glorious sound.
Our members range in age from 11 years to 80+, and we have around 55 members and will always welcome more.
It's changed a lot in 60 years! The first performance was The Creation by Handel under the conductorship of Mr Ian Menzies. Now we sing secular and well known tunes from the last 60 years, as well as new music from current composers.
I tend to go for lively, syncopated songs with audience appeal. Some choir members look horrified at my song choices initially, but I win them over in the end! If you've ever seen the movie, Young At Heart, that's us!
The choir is about to hit a milestone birthday. Are you celebrating?
We are celebrating 60 years this year! We are having a concert this Sunday. We are singing a range of songs – stage musical, African, jazz, and pop. There's everything from Irving Berlin to ABBA and Pharrell Williams. I think my favourite song is The Show Must Go On by Queen, but it's hard to choose!
We have wonderful guest artists in Sam Mitchell, the Jubilate Singers from New Plymouth Girls' High School, and my two choirs from Central School- The Central Singers, and the Central 1st XV.
We are also having a 60th Jubilee cake made, and City Sounds Choir members past and present are welcome to come to afternoon tea afterwards.
What is your background with music and how did you become involved in the choir?
I have always loved choirs, and ran my first choir as a 7th former at Wanganui Girls' College.
I've always run a children's choir in whichever school I taught in, but my first venture into adult choirs was with the Wanganui Community Choir, which I conducted for eight years before moving to New Plymouth in 2009.
I joined every choir I could here, until I found my niche, singing with Living Harmony. I was approached by City Sounds to conduct a bracket of songs in a Christmas concert, and then took over the role of conductor upon Gabrielle Barr's retirement from the choir at the beginning of 2013.
Do you have a favourite musical memory?
I used to love singing around the piano as a little girl, with my Dad vamping out all the old hits from the war years. He couldn't read a note, but boy could he play!
Since moving to New Plymouth a music highlight was being part of New Plymouth Operatic Society's Sister Act in 2016. I was singing in the pit, as part of the off-stage chorus. What a brilliant show. I was so proud to be part of it.
City Sounds 60th Jubilee Concert
Sunday June 9, 1.30pm
St Andrew's Church
Tickets: $15. Children: free

Grand Forks Bar Named Best in North Dakota
We all have our favorite watering holes. And they become our favorite bar for several reason.
It could be they have the coldest beer in town or you love the service. it could be as simple as you really enjoy the atmosphere.
The Daily Meal.com was handed the task of figuring out the best bar in every state. These surveys always use customers' comments and listings from social media.
For the best bar in North Dakota, you'll have to travel to Grand Forks. It seems folks in the state love to fly to The Parrots Cay for the atmosphere and the huge selection of tap beer. But one of the best reason is to have some wings that are swimming in sauce. And the sauce heat rating is from mild (level-3) to extremely HOT (level 40). Of course, the Parrots Cay has a contest where you can win a t-shirt and $100 gift card. Think you could stomach 5 minutes of the level 40 wings?
Sometimes the best bar is the bar on the route home after work!

Campo Grande Airport Guide
Campo Grande Airport is also known as Antonio Joao Airport and is around four miles from the centre of Campo Grande. A variety of ways to get to the city centre are available but by far the most popular is to collect a hire car at the airport. Over 1.5 million passengers used the airport last year and despite being billed as an international airport, all the flights are from domestic origins. Travellers from overseas would have to connect first through Rio, Sao Paulo or Brasilia airports.
Campo Grande has many interesting cultural attractions including over a dozen fine churches, several museums and lots of memorials and monuments spaced through the city. It's outside the city that it really comes into its own. The city has many fine parks and theses often merge with the wild geography of the region including the Pantanal. If you don't mind a longer journey by car you can also visit Bonito, a charming village, around four hours away, where the town is surrounded by crystal clear rivers.

HALIFAX—Don't click the link.
Nova Scotia RCMP released a warning Tuesday about phishing — attempts to defraud personal information like credit card numbers and passwords.
People around the province have recently been reporting suspicious emails to the RCMP. The emails appear to be sent from "legitimate companies such as Netflix and Amazon," but in fact are not, police said in a news release.
Const. Ryan Berry of the Nova Scotia RCMP Financial Crimes Unit gave his advice for how to not become a phishing victim.
"Do not click any links or the body of the email," Berry said in the news release, adding that you could be taken to a site that looks very much like the one being imitated, and asked to update your billing information. Just like that, you've given your financial information to a fraudster.
Berry also recommended verifying the sender by clicking the contact at the top of the email. He said phishers frequently change email addresses, but the domain will give away them away.
"The addresses are always different, but will not be a legitimate email, and will have domain (the part after the @) that does not match the company," he said.
Finally, he said to contact the company directly if you have any suspicion about the origin of an email.

There can be no doubt that the rise of electronic has brought the underground to the forefront, especially considering producers' determination to provide alternatives to what people consider mainstream. We've seen it with artists returning to minimal beats, experimenting in brand new genres, or even doing a complete 180 from their normal style. For some this resurgence means revisiting old projects, which is exactly what Roger Sanchez has done by bringing back his S-Man moniker. "Time 2 Stop" became the first hit from his alter ego back in 1994, and 20 years later he returns with "Dangerous Thoughts" off this new label, UNDR THE RADR.
The track drops on April 28th, along with a number of remixes, but today we have the Amine Edge & DANCE rework, which combines a late 90s sound with updated touches. Completely worked over by the g-house aficionados, the duo mix chopped vocals and descending, smooth synth lines to create a perfectly balanced reimagination. If you weren't a fan of the so-called underground before, Amine Edge & DANCE will make you one with this remix.
"Dangerous Thoughts" (Amine Edge & DANCE)

'Homeland' will end after Season 8 has aired, Showtime has confirmed.
The Emmy Award winning CIA drama series, which stars Claire Danes and Mandy Patinkin, will conclude next year as the "game changing" programme has run its course.
Executive producer Alex Gansa started talking with 39-year-old Danes - who plays bipolar disorder-stricken investigator Carrie Mathison -
about ending the show at the end of the last season and came to the conclusion that it was "the right time" for it to end.
Speaking during the 2018 Summer TCA Press Tour, Showtime President David Nevins said: "Alex Gansa will be bringing his show to its proper conclusion. I can't say how much it has meant to the acceleration of our brand and for me personally: It was the first series I greenlit."
Gansa has expressed his sadness that the show is ending, however, he has described it as one of the most rewarding experiences of his career.
In a statement, he said: "'Homeland' has been the most joyful and rewarding experience of my career. Not many have been as lucky as me - partnered with the miraculous Claire Danes, supported to the ends of the earth by Fox and Showtime, and working in the company of some of the most gifted writers, actors, and filmmakers in the business. I am sad to see the journey coming to an end, but it is time."
David Nevins, President and CEO of Showtime Networks, reflected on the poignancy of the series, and expressed how incredible it was to be able to work with Claire and the rest of the cast.
He said: "'Homeland' has been a game-changing series for Showtime, as provocative about the world we live in as it is prescient. This project, arriving right at the beginning of my Showtime tenure thanks to Alex Gansa and Howard Gordon, and brought to life by a remarkable cast led by Claire Danes and Mandy Patinkin, is a richly written character study that is now ready for its natural conclusion. Viewers will be rewarded by the way Alex brings 'Homeland' home."

From relationship goals to sex advice: if it's about sex or relationships, share it here.
I need some advice!!!
My boyfriend and I have just celebrated our 6 month anniversary.. Not long I know, but something has changed and I don't know if I should be concerned. We've usually been having sex quite frequently, at least 4 times a week. But lately it's been like never. Last month we've only had sex twice and none this month! He seems completely un-phased by this, like he doesn't even notice. What should I do? How should I handle this?
