A Little piece of Heaven
Review submitted: May 21, 2013 Date of arrival: May 9, 2013
Our vacation started with us arriving very late. Initially supposed to arrive at 10:30pm but were delayed so arrived after 11:40pm. Then off to the baggage claim. We did not arrive to get our rental until almost 12:30 pm and yet the owners were there waiting on us. After a long day of traveling they were the first rays of sunshine. They waited while we got our rental then we followed them to the unit. They showed us the apartment then before they left for home we followed them to a mall so we could get something to eat with the kids. That was at 3 am. Probably two of the most kind people on the island. The unit: Totally awesome. Tile floors throughout, well appointed with everything you could possibly need including towels, toiletries, beach gear, tennis rackets, basketball, just everything. Really cool terrace off rear porch that leads to a 2nd upper terrace upstairs. The pics really don't do this place justice it is much better. Small bar behind unit which is often alive with revelers but in Puerto Rico that is expected as there are about 12000 of the same type of establishments. Close the doors at night, turn on the ac and it is quiet as a mouse. 2 pools, gym area, easy access to beach and iguanas everywhere. Yes, iguanas. We went to the pool and were greeted by a 3 foot iguana who ran, dived into the pool, swam across it and took off up a coco tree. My wife and kids loved it and so did I. The place is like fort knox as are most rental complexes in PR. Gated community with both a posted guard at gate and roving security. Easy in and easy out along with ample parking. You cannot go wrong with Ivettes place. Thank you Ivette---We can't wait till next year!!

Family Vacation
Review submitted: August 20, 2012 Date of arrival: July 21, 2012
I would definitely stay here again. the apartment was much nicer than the pictures show. It was clean, modern and spacious. The terrace was ideal. We traveled with our 3 children and all were very comfortable. Although we have family in P.R. we also wanted to tour the island and visit lots of the atractions. This location was ideal for all of it. You would need a car if you plan on touring the island of course. If not, the location has 2 great communal pools and private entrace to a beautiful beach. The owners were outstanding!. they met us at the car rental place and took us to the apartment. I am glad they did, because I didn't realize how you had to put the locations into the GPS. Surely we would have been lost without them. During the stay, there was a small problem with an old faucet head in the laudry area. The owners came over and repaired the problem right away (on a Holiday too). I recommend this apartment to anyone traveling to PR with more than 2 people.

Best vacation ever in PR!!
Review submitted: August 29, 2011 Date of arrival: August 1, 2011
My family an I had the best time ever in this place, the only thing we need was more days to stay longer. We got to the villa late at night and everything was ready. It was so clean, neat, the kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms. So much more relaxed than a hotel. The pool was great and we recommend the open terrace for a completely private tanning. The location is perfect, everything is close and the beaches are beautiful. The place is just absolutely gorgeous!

Best place in Loiza!!
Review submitted: August 25, 2011 Date of arrival: July 16, 2011
We rented this property and loved it! The house is extremely beautiful and well kept. It met all the description that had been provided. The kids loved the pool and we, the adults, loved the open terrace. The beaches are beautiful and very accessible. I totally recommend this property. Thank you for a great time!

Review submitted: August 17, 2011 Date of arrival: July 9, 2011
I rented this villa for one week and took my 2 grandchildren ages 4 and 5, and my mother. I must say I was not very pleased with the fact that the terrace was on the roof top and to get up there the steps were a narrow spiral step case so that was not convenient for my mom, never got to use it. That should be mentioned on there information list. The only air conditioning areas are the bedrooms, there is only one old tv in the living area and the beddings are pretty worn. Although, you are paying for cleaning service they expect you to leave everything pretty much cleaned up so that they only have to do the minimum cleanup. What has been the most upsetting was that after a month of my visit I had to remind them that they had not send me my deposit back. When I finally received it they deducted $77.62 for what they call abusive electrical charges. I can't see how in one week I used $77.62 of electricity above the normal usage. So be aware, the electricity is not included with the rental and I am sure that if the place is not left clean they will also deduct for that too. Except for the bathrooms, bedding and mopping there was not much for them to clean after I left. I even washed the towels! I have never been charged for utilities in the pass when I have rented vacation homes. That is ridiculous!
Owners response:
The information (and a picture) regarding the roof terrace is included on the property description. Unfortunately, in the inquiry and subsequent phone conversations there was no mention about limitations on climbing stairs. If that was the case we would have made the observation. That staircase is typical in most of the Villas in Puerto Rico. The description of the property also specifies that the air conditioning units are only in the bedrooms; this is part of the cross ventilation design on the property. The comment regarding the bedding and TV is inaccurate; if any potential guest is interested in seeing pictures I will gladly send them for his/her review. The contract specifies that the deposit will be released within 10 days subject to some conditions, including the review of the electrical bill for any excessive electric charges. The electricity is included on the rental. We check the meter reading when a tenant checks in and when it checks out based on normal consumption of a family, and we are very lenient on this matter. The consumption in this case doubled the normal consumption. This could happen, for instance, if the A/C units at the bedrooms are used as a central unit to cool all the living area. The electricity cost in our Island is much more expensive than in US. This is the first time that we had claim an amount against the deposit pertaining excessive electrical charges in more than 50 tenants over the past 3 years. If any potential guest has any doubts or questions in regard to this review, please feel free to contact me. Also, we will gladly share all our reviews (in this and other sites) which are all 4/5 stars, except this one, which is based on inaccurate facts.

A New Years retreat at our own private getaway!
Review submitted: January 9, 2011 Date of arrival: December 29, 2010
We arrived at the San Juan airport in the evening, and were greeted by the owners and escorted to the condo upon retrieving our rental car. When we reached the condominium complex we were very happy with our decision to stay in an area outside of the hotel district, but that was close enough to most amenities that we would need. Our tour of the unit and the attached terraces, made us even happier to have chosen this place. The Puerto Rican breeze was a much needed relief! We felt very much at home and fully equipped to cook, lay out at the pool or beach, and get our relaxation on! The condominium and the grounds were very well kept up, clean, and private. We especially enjoyed the hot tubs and soaking in some rays on the upper terrace at breakfast time! The location made it possible for us to easily take day trips to the rain forest, Old San Juan and the bays for some kayaking adventures. Overall we had a great trip and the owners of this property were extremely helpful and made the rental process go very smoothly!

UCL's Library and Special Collections is one of the most highly-esteemed university collections of manuscripts, archives and rare books, our collections continue to draw scholars, researchers, teachers, students to our reading rooms.
UCL Library Services has one of the finest Departments of Special Collections anywhere in UK Higher Education, housing over 7,000 linear metres of materials collected since the foundation of UCL in 1826.
Find out more on UCL's special collections
Sir Francis Galton (1822-1911) is of outstanding significance in the history of genetics. A cousin of Charles Darwin and founder of the modern eugenics movement, Galton pioneered many of the statistical methods of analysis used today; modern understandings in statistics, genetics, heredity and criminology were shaped by his work. The relationship between behaviour and genetics, or heredity, dates to his work. Galton also provided the first workable fingerprint classification system, adopted by the British Fingerprint Bureau, established at Scotland Yard in 1901.
The Galton Collection, comprising his papers plus unique fingerprints collection, forms the basis of the special collections relating to the history of genetics held at UCL. Extensive Galton fingerprint material is held by both UCL Special Collections and UCL Museum & Collections. These collections are complementary in that each focuses on a different, defined population – the former on teachers and students, the latter on criminals.
Galton's statistical approach to heredity was greatly extended and developed by later colleagues, whose work also forms significant genetics collections held by UCL, most notably that of Karl Pearson, a towering figure in genetics, statistics and mathematics. One of his primary contributions was the development of the theory of linear regression and correlation, and he conducted ground-breaking work on classifying probability distributions. Like Galton, Pearson is a contradictory figure to modern eyes – a prominent free-thinker and socialist who advocated war against "inferior races".
This project is currently being funded by the Wellcome Trust and will involve the Cataloguing a total of 24,270 items comprising 4,670 from the Galton Collections & 19,600 from related genetics collections; essential conservation & preservation of the collections; a detailed survey of the material to assess & report on its suitability for digitisation on the basis of technical, IPR, & ethical considerations, identifying all issues likely to affect the cost & quality of the digital images to be produced in Phase 2. (This will be subject to a further bid)

Lionel Sharples Penrose (1898–1972) was a British psychiatrist, medical Geneticist, mathematician and chess theorist, who carried out pioneering work on the genetics of mental retardation.
He was a central figure in British medical genetics following World War II. From 1945 to 1965, he was recognised for his major contributions to human genetics especially in the field of mental handicaps.
Our attitudes and understanding in relation to human genetics comes partly from years of his wide-ranging personal research. This included for example his discovery of the maternal age effect in Down syndrome.
He occupied the Galton Chair at the Galton Laboratory at University College London from 1945 to 1965.
This digitisation project is currently being funded by The Wellcome Trust; the collection consists of his personal & professional papers. The material covers a variety of topics including his work in medical genetics, professional training & his research in Colchester. It is mostly paper based & includes a number of photographs. The collection is currently stored in 70 boxes.
To find out more about the collection, please see:
John Burdon Sanderson Haldane (1892-1964) was a British geneticist, biometrician and physiologist. His particular research interests were population genetics, enzyme Kinetics, evolution and heredity; he was the "…first to discover linkage in mammals, to map a human chromosome, and (with Penrose) to measure the mutation rate of a human gene"
Haldane became Professor of Genetics at University College London in 1933 and Professor of Biometry in 1937.
His greatest achievement was in developing a quantitative theory of evolution using concepts of changing gene frequency. His work unified the Darwinian theory of natural selection with Mendelian genetics and was an important contribution towards re-establishing natural selection as the accepted mechanism of evolutionary change.
This digitisation project is currently being funded by The Wellcome Trust; the collection consists of his personal & professional papers spanning a range of topics including his work on theoretical population genetics & statistical human genetics, it's mostly paper based & contains some photographs. The collection is currently stored in 43 boxes.

There are many rare books, manuscripts and early printed books which relate to Greek Literature and Culture. Some of the most noteworthy pieces include one of the first copies of the Bible printed in Greek and the Euclid Collection. Forming part of the Graves Library, the Euclid Collection includes over 400 volumes of the works of the mathematician Euclid. The collection contains eighty-three of the editions of works by Euclid printed before 1640, including the edition princeps published by Erhard Ratdolt at Venice in 1482.
Rare & early printed books as well as original archaeological site excavation reports reflecting the Ancient Greek diaspora, which saw Greece dominate the seas of the Ancient World are being digitised thanks to The Stavros Niarchos Foundation who have continuously supported UCL in her bid to improve access for scholars, students and the public to a collection of fascinating items connected to Ancient Greece from UCL Special Collections.
The digitisation of these materials will ensure this unique collection is available to anyone who is interested in, and has a need to use, these remarkable materials, anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day.
Sir Isaac Newton (1642–1727) was a physicist and mathematician who is commonly regarded as one of the most influential scientists of all time, best known for discovering the law of gravity, creating the field of calculus, and finding out that white light is composed of many colours. He is also really known for inventing three standard laws of motion, referred to as "Newton's Laws" and as a key figure in the scientific revolution.
His book Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica, Latin for "Mathematical Principles of Natural Science", often referred to as simply "The Principia", is a work in three books by Sir Newton with the support of his friend the astronomer Edmond Halley, was first published by Joseph Streater in 1687, it marked a turning point in the history of physics, with Newton documenting his theories that today form the foundation of classical mechanics.
Contained within the book's pages are his famous laws of motion, the law of universal gravitation, and a derivation of Kepler's laws of plantetary motion.
UCL has recently received a grant from The Mercers to conserve "The Principia" to a usable condition ready to be consulted by those who have an interest in its contents and for display purposes, and for its long term preservation.
UCL Library Services is a partner in EuropeanaTravel which has been funded by the European Community under its eContentplus Programme. The project is led by the National Library of Estonia and its overall objective is to digitise content on the theme of travel and tourism.

UCL Library Services holds 60,000 folios of manuscripts of the philosopher and jurist Jeremy Bentham (1748-1832). A new project, Transcribe Bentham is using this corpus to test the feasibility of outsourcing the work of manuscript transcription to members of the public.
Transcribe Bentham will initially digitise 10,000 folios, and create a suite of transcription training tools. The project is funded by the UK Arts and Humanities Research Council, led by the UCL Bentham Project, in collaboration with UCL Library Services and UCL Department of Information Studies. It is part of the work of the new UCL Centre for Digital Humanities.

The Library services faces space and cost pressures when it comes to preserving research materials, the de-duplication of low use journals ensures that valuable space is freed to make room to meet the pressures of providing much needed infrastructures for students and researchers.
The UK Research Reserve (UKRR) is a partnership between the British Library and the Higher Education sector. Member libraries provide details of materials they wish to dispose of, and the UKRR coordinates the process of ensuring that sufficient copies of the journal are retained across the membership base.
The UKRR fund offers a secure solution to storing & preserving low use print research journals. It allows Higher Education libraries to de-duplicate their journal holdings of a title if two copies are held by other UKRR members, ensuring continued access to low-use journals, whilst allowing libraries to release space to meet the changing needs of their users.
This will be a major innovation in scholarly communication, bringing together research excellence & public participation within the context of an under-explored resource of outstanding historical significance & philosophical importance
This project is currently funded by Andrew Mellon foundation under the Scholarly Communications and Information Technology Program.

RUGBY: Minehead Under-11s overcome Weston
9:30pm Friday 24th February 2012 in Minehead Babas RFC
Minehead Under-11s beat Weston Super Mare 20-14 in a well-contest encounter.
Weston kicked off and with strong passing drove through the Minehead defence to score the first try of the match in the first minute.
A quick follow up from Minehead's kick saw Liddle finish a swift and driving reply.
However, Weston replied with more passing out to the wing and again went into the lead scoring despite the efforts of Hood.
A final scrum and strong driving this time from Minehead, saw the first half end with a try from the scrum half Howard tight in the corner.
Reeson scored a try then Francis forced a maul to ground and a pick and run lead to the final try of the match by Nathan Metcalf.
Weston closed the final minutes with a turnover scrum that lead to an unfortunate pass to Calladine on the open wing.
Weston added two conversions.

VIDEO OF THE DAY – Mossberg on iSlate
The wait is almost over. Tomorrow we find out what Apple have up their sleeve (and we're all going to look a bit silly if it's just a new colourway for the iPod Nano…).
The iTablet/Slate/Pad/Whatever will be officially revealed (we hope), but here Walt Mossberg (The Only Technology Journalist In The World) talks about the new creation that he's had "for sometime now". Clearly Apple didn't want this first review to go public, but luckily, Walt is "good friends" with Steve Jobs.
We should hire this guy…

It's been the deadliest
year on record in the city of Fort
Myers. And now police are investigating the 23rd
homicide of 2012. The latest involved a man found shot to death inside his home
near Bert Drive
and Manor Parkway.
This time, the deadly
shooting took 35-year old Robert Raybon Junior's life.
Family members say after being shot he stumbled to his carport before falling
Like many of the Fort Myers
murders this year, detectives don't have a killer in custody.
It was around 5 a.m.
Friday that gunfire claimed Raybon's life.
"My sister called me and
said my cousin had been shot," said Raybon's cousin, Arthur Safford.
He says he raced over to
the home on Bert Drive
only to learn his cousin had already passed away.
"I came on over and
true enough he was dead," he said.
Detectives explain they
don't have anyone in custody for the killing - only saying the murder remains
an active investigation.
It is now yet another in
a city becoming numb to the deadly noise.
"I hope they stop
it. There too much bad stuff going on," Safford said.
He and other neighbors say the violence is out of control.
"If it is not on TV, it
is hitting us in the streets," said neighbor Samuel Negron.
While detectives hunt
for another killer walking free, those who hear, see and feel the bloodshed
make a heartfelt appeal - pleading with a community to stand up for justice.
"If you were there say; something
or this is going to be an endless cycle," Negron said.
the young people they don't take life seriously. They just shoot somebody and
don't think about it," Safford said.
We pulled records dating
back to 1988. In the City of Palms,
murders fell to their low in 2000 with only three killings to the all time high
in 2012 - the deadliest year so far.
The investigation remains ongoing at this time. Anyone with information is asked to call FMPD at 321-7700, Crime Stoppers at 1-800-780-TIPS or text message C-R-I-M-E-S (274637) Keyword FMPD. Tipsters can remain anonymous. No further information available.

The Netherlands bans fur farming
A momentous leap forward in the protection of animals was reached in the Dutch Senate today: a large majority voted to ban the production of fur. The ban will come in effect on January 1st 2024.
This decision focused on mink fur production, but as the farming of foxes and chinchillas for their fur was banned in The Netherlands in the 1990s, this is in practical terms a total ban on all fur farming. As a matter of principle it is as well: the bill bans mink fur farming on ethical grounds. It argues that killing animals and infringing their welfare to make a non-essential product like fur cannot be justified.
This is a great success for WSPA's partner society Bont voor Dieren ('Fur for Animals'), which has campaigned for many years to put a stop on fur farming in The Netherlands. Their work integrated public actions, research, opinion polls, petitions, undercover investigation, cultural events, radio and television adds and a strong political lobby. The Dutch RSPCA ('Dierenbescherming') and WSPA supported Bont voor Dieren's campaign, as did dozens of Dutch celebrities.
Already in 2009, the Dutch Parliament voted already in favour of the ban, but the Senate regarded the compensation for the mink farmers insufficient. With several amendments – and with two national elections in the middle – the bill now finally passed the Senate. Mink farmers are given the opportunity to phase out their business before January 1st 2024.
The Dutch ban on fur farming could encourage several countries to follow the Dutch example and generate wider international momentum, especially given that the Netherlands is one of the world's largest producers of mink fur. Each year, the Dutch kill 6 million mink. Furthermore, a ban sets a precedent of immense value to organisations around the world working to bring an end to this cruel and unethical industry.
Finally, by banning the farming of animals for their fur the Netherlands sends a vital message to retailers and consumers; that fur is of a bygone age and to breed and kill animals just for fashion or luxury is at complete odds with contemporary views of animal ethics and sentience.blog comments powered by Disqus

I am new to SIP and have downloaded the SIP Plugin for Series 60 SDK and installed it . I am able to successfully run the Chip Flip example which means that my environment is set up correctly.
However I would like to get a general idea of what it takes to test SIP apps on a target device . I use Nokia 6600 and have downloaded the SIP Stack for Series 60 v2.0 from Forum Nokia and installed it on the phone.
I know that we need a SIP Server installed in order to test the application on device but I was wondering whether there is any way to set up a real SIP server in my company premises for testing SIP applications
Is there any way I can set up the different components like proxy server,registrar server,location server and redirect server in my company premises ? . Is there any document or tutorial which shows us how to do this or are there any free ready to use sip servers out there ?
Thanks a lot

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - The man shot and killed in the Mount Hope neighborhood of southeast San Diego was publicly identified Sunday as a 32-year-old San Ysidro resident, authorities said.
Meashal Howard Fairley died shortly after 5 a.m. Saturday in the 600 block of Denby Street near Market Street, according to the San Diego County Medical Examiner's Office.
Officers called to the area found the victim lying on the sidewalk with a gunshot wound, San Diego police Lt. Ernie Herbert said. Paramedics were called, but Fairley died at the scene.
Herbert said it had not been determined what led to the shooting.
Witnesses described a black Dodge Magnum with black rims seen near the area at the time of the shooting, police officials said. Detectives on Saturday asked for the public's help in identifying the car's owner or driver.
Police officials said anyone who spots a vehicle matching that description should not contact its driver or occupants.
Police asked anyone with information to call the San Diego Police Department's Homicide Unit at (619) 531-2293, or Crime Stoppers at (888) 580-8477.

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

Both Charlie and Steve are intellectually dishonest and yes this is a strawman. I will show you how easy it is to know down.
First you go on to say,"the fossils found are only a fraction of what was alive. This is something that both sides of the debate can agree upon." But then you go on to say, "However, if evolution were true, we would expect a much greater number of fossils than what we have simply due to the time factor. Also, we would find a significantly greater number of total life forms that ever lived."
How do you go from they are hard to come by and then in your next "breath' state that the lack of fossil history is denies evolution. Wow! Lmbo. What is worse is that you don't explain why there is a lack hominid fossils. Let's give you guys a real science lesson.
Out of the fossil record we have, 95% is marine life
approx. 5% is algae and plant life
approx 0.025% is mammilan in nature.
Let's look at this. If a lion drops dead to the ground what happens to it? It decays or is eaten. Very rarely is it covered in mud with the proper minerals needed to fossilize. But then you already know this because you yourselves have stated that fossilization is a very rare event.
The second part that is dishonest, although you are absolutely correct in your ignorance is when you stated, "Many of these claimed transitions have been proven to be either 100% ape, 100% human, or fraud" What makes you correct with this statement although the context is wrong is that every hominid fossil you would find would be 100% the animal that it is. Are you still looking for your imaginary croc-a-duck? What you fail to realize is that all fossils are transition fossils.
You are correct on another thing. Fossil records to not demonstarte common ancestry by themselves. The nail in the coffin of creationism is DNA coupled with our fossil record. Really, there is no longer a debate silly theist.
Evolution is a fact.

"Miracles are like meatballs, because nobody can exactly agree on what they are made of, where they come from, or how often they should appear." ~Lemony Snicket
I have been bringing sweet and sour meatballs to parties for years now and they have always been well received. My original version was made right in the microwave and then there was a slow cooker alteration, but I've finally settled on this stovetop version as my favorite. The combination of sweet pineapple and brown sugar mixed with tangy soy sauce and vinegar is just delightful. And come on, how many of us can resist a good meatball?
If you are really short on time, go ahead and buy a bag of frozen meatballs. To be honest, I have used them many times and have never had a complaint. If you have an extra hour though, I suggest making your own. Those are guaranteed to get rave reviews.
I am making these for a party this weekend but it seems as if I'll be lucky if I have even a handful left, since my boy keeps sneaking into the kitchen. Does he think I can't see him out of the corner of my eye? Please excuse me while I try to save the food...
Sweet and Sour Meatballs
Meatball Recipe
- 1 small sweet onion chopped finely
- 1/8 cup Italian seasoning
- 1 egg
- 3 tbsp ketchup
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup Italian bread crumbs
- 1 lb (a little over is fine) lean ground beef
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Place a rack on a cookie sheet (you want the fat to drain out of the meatballs).
- Mix all ingredients (except cheese, bread crumbs and beef) in a bowl.
- Once combined add last three ingredients and mix well.
- Using your hands (or a small ice cream scoop if using your hands grosses you out) form small meatballs.
- Place the meatballs on the rack, leaving a little space between each.
- Bake for 20 minutes. Depending on your oven you may need to bake them longer but try not to go any longer than 30 minutes so they don't dry out.
(Makes about 35 small meatballs)
Sweet and Sour Sauce Recipe
- 1 20 oz can pineapple chunks
- 1/3 cup water
- 3 tbsp vinegar
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 3 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 small peppers cut into 1" pieces (any color you like-I prefer red and orange)
- Drain the pineapple and reserve the juice. Set aside.
- If the juice does not equal one cup add enough water to get it there.
- Pour the juice into a large pan.
- Add the 1/3 cup of water, vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar and cornstarch to the pan and stir until smooth.
- Cook over medium heat until it gets thick, making sure you are stirring it constantly.
- Add the pineapple, meatballs and green pepper.
- Turn the heat to low and simmer uncovered for about 20 minutes.
Serve with toothpicks or over a plate of white rice.

SINGAPORE, June 9, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Organizations around the world are turning to "emotional intelligence" as a toolset for leaders to become more effective with people. Emotional intelligence means being smarter with feelings, and research shows it's a driver of leadership excellence.

Despite growing popularity of emotional intelligence, or "EQ," there are few options for development that are both scientifically sound and practical; that's changing in Singapore. To increase these people-leadership skills in Asia-Pacific, the Professional Development Centre of the British Council in Singapore is partnering with the global emotional intelligence network, Six Seconds.
Six Seconds, originally established in Silicon Valley in the US, is the global leader in turning the science of emotional intelligence into practical tools. Now an extensive network with offices and representatives around the globe, the not-for-profit provides research and shares best practices including eight validated psychometric tools and dozens of books, games, elearning tools and learning programs for every sector.
The British Council, the United Kingdom's international organisation for cultural relations and educational opportunities, has joined the network as a "Preferred Partner" to deliver measurable, robust tools for people-leadership in Singapore and beyond. For example, a multi-year case study on emotional intelligence at FedEx found that increasing emotional intelligence is linked dramatic improvements in decision-making, influence, and in quality of life.
Eldon Pascoe, the Director Professional and Teacher Development at the British Council, says, "In our collaboration with business and educational institutions across Asia, one of the most frequent needs is an increased capacity to work well with people. Using Six Seconds' scientific measurement tools and methods, we'll be better able to meet this essential need."

Sue McNamara, the Regional Network Director of Six Seconds in Asia Pacific, says, "Emotional intelligence is absolutely essential in our region – for connecting, leading, parenting, and learning in a globalizing world, we all need skills to be aware and intentional in our responses. So I'm thrilled this partnership will bring these life-changing skills to more people in APAC."
Six Seconds' vision is that by 2039, a billion people will be practicing the skills of emotional intelligence. Research on emotional intelligence shows that when people practice these skills, their lives are more successful, healthier, and they make better decisions. For information, see www.6seconds.org.

A team completed the Covenant Health Knoxville Marathon with racing wheelchairs, a first for the event.
50 Ability Marathon Team is trying to complete 50 marathons, in 50 states, in 50 weeks.
Knoxville was stop 12.
Accidents left Grant Berthiaume, Paul Erway and Aaron Roux all in wheelchairs.
"This is going to hurt. This is going to be hard. We need to make a reason to be able to do this," Erway said.
The racing wheelchairs do not have gears, making it harder to get up hills.
"This is just a challenge. I challenge myself right now with having a disability so I'm sure I would be challenging my life, you know, in some other way if I wasn't disabled," Roux said.
Money raised from the marathons will benefit the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation and will help with spinal cord research, among other things.
"There's more to life than just getting a little down, being injured. Just get out and get after it," Berthiaume said.
The 50 Ability Marathon Team will be in Kansas next week, their 13th marathon in 13 weeks.
The team is still looking for a sponsor to help with travel expenses.
However, all donations made to 50 Ability go toward the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation.

Ten women say they are ready to leave their criminals pasts behind and start a new life outside of prison walls.
The women graduated Thursday from the North Carolina Department of Corrections' JobStart, a program that takes a targeted approach to prison-to-work transition planning.
"We did mock interviews that really helped," explained Crystal Little. "Resumes -- I never did a resume before."
But JobStart goes beyond the resume and teaches women life skills.
"They are drug addicted in many cases, they have been abused in many cases, they have very co-dependent relationships," said Mary Ray, with Inter-Faith Prison Ministry for Women. "We have to teach them to have good relationships."
Little said the program's mentors helped mend her relationship with her daughter, who was just an infant when she went to prison.
"I only cared about money, sex, drugs, men and alcohol1," Little said of life before her time at the Raleigh Correctional Center for Women. She said the program "helped me understand [my daughter's] emotions -- really brought us together."
The courses are taught by a Wake Tech instructor run for 16 weeks at First Presbyterian Church in Raleigh, and trained volunteers serve as one-on-one mentors, presenters and community volunteer sponsors for inmates.
Through the program, the women earned credits at Wake Tech.
About 240 women have graduated from JobStart since it began 13 years ago.

Wireless Solution Sweden AB recently helped make two of California's fastest growing music festivals stay alight.
The three-day Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival in Indio, California near Palm Springs was the first of the two festivals to use the W-DMX™ system, which performed double-duty at the back-to-back events. Coachella is credited as being the first major independent festival of rock, alternative, and techno music and is considered a top showcase for indie bands. Prince, Roger Waters, and Jack Johnson headlined the festival that included over 130 bands on five stages.
The system consisted of a single S-1 transmitter and 10 R-512 receivers controlling 20 7kW Falcon moving lights from A&0. The lights were mounted on 30-foot towers surrounding the festival area. An 8dBi omni antenna was at the transmitter and each receiver had a 24dBi grid antenna. The longest distance was 2,033 feet (620 meters).
A repeater link was also set up from the main stage to the site lighting control area so the lights could be incorporated into the headliner acts of Prince and Roger Waters. This was a distance of 700 feet (213 meters) using the standard 2dBi antennas.
The production company for the site lighting at Coachella was Visions Lighting of Placentia California run by Todd Roberts.
The W-DMX system was also used the following weekend for the Stagecoach Country Music Festival, which was held in the same location. Stagecoach is California's Country Music Festival that featured headliners The Eagles, Rascall Flats and Tim McGraw.
Joe Dupré of Wireless Solution America explains, "The wireless system worked flawlessly, even with occasional outbursts from a pair of 100kVA Tesla coils designed by Syd Klinge. It was truly outstanding."
