The former bodyguard of Kim Jong Il has revealed that the late North Korean leader would execute people on a whim when he was in bad moods, and in one case sent a senior official to die at a concentration camp for using his private elevator and ashtray.
"When Kim Jong Il would arrive in his vehicle, 60- to 70-year-old advisors would run away and throw themselves onto the grass. They had dust on their clothes but they wanted to hide from him," Lee Young-guk told CNN in an interview posted on Friday.
"They're scared because even when he was happy he would be rude and could chop off their heads." more >>
A man who was jailed in Pakistan after being accused of making blasphemous remarks about Islam was killed by a police officer Thursday morning when he was chopped to death with an axe, police officials said.
Fifty-five-year-old, Tufail Haider, who is of Shi'ite Muslim faith, was arrested late Wednesday night, in the town of Gujrat in the Punjab province, after people overheard him making blasphemous remarks about the companions of the Prophet Muhammed. The group of people proceeded to attack Haider, and once they beat him down, they turned him over to authorities.
According to a fellow police officer, the same officer that brought Haider into the precinct and booked him, Faraz Naveed, was the same officer responsible for Haider's murder just a few hours later at 5 a.m. more >>
A friend has been learning a lot about the Achilles tendon lately. At 47-years-old, locals nicknamed him "Old School" because he is still able to teach the young guns a few basketball lessons. However, the wear-and-tear from years on the court has started to wear-out the oh-so-critical tendon. So now Old School just feels old and (gulp) has to admit he has a weakness...
And that's what's most important. He has to admit he has a weakness. Now, he can do something about it, and perhaps get Old School back in session someday.
I think the greatest weakness men can have is being unaware that they have them. That's why we call them "blind spots," because we all have them, but often can't see them. An unexposed blind spot can cost a man everything. You are thinking everything is great but those around you have had enough and slowly start withdrawing. On the other hand, openly addressing a blind spot can be one of the hardest, but best things a man can do. The big idea is this: a man's greatest weakness is not the blind spot itself, but being unwilling to recognize or admit to it. more >>
Republican voters don't just support natural marriage -- they expect their candidates to! That was abundantly clear Tuesday, when local exit polls starting streaming in. For conservatives, the data was a gold mine on social issues that will help debunk the Left's tall tales about the popularity of same-sex "marriage." In state after state, voters refused to give an inch on marriage -- and instead exposed how exaggerated the cultural shift has been.
Despite what the media would have you believe, the public opinion battle has been a bigger one than the Left bargained for -- with most Americans' views barely budging on an institution the courts are so anxious to redefine. A month after a Pew poll showed support for same-sex "marriage" dipping, the issue was front and center in a few key Senate races -- including North Carolina, Iowa, and Arkansas.
Thom Tillis, who, just weeks ago, was down in his race, starting picking up steam when he took a public stand to defend the Tarheels' marriage amendment (which 57% still support). That's consistent with the stories in Kansas with Senator Pat Roberts (R) and Iowa, where Joni Ernst never wavered on a topic too many moderates run from. As much as the Republican Establishment hates to admit it, marriage was a key ingredient in the recipe to defeat Democrats. more >>
November's midterm election results are being called "The Red Wedding," a hat tip to the title of an episode from HBO's hit show Game of Thrones in which an entire dynasty is trounced in one episode. But the excitement over the red tide sweeping the nation isn't felt by all.
For some Christian citizens, we are facing newly elected officials and policies of which we are not particularly fond. Leaving us to raise the question, "Is government really a gift from God?"
With the hope of answering this question Galen Carey, Vice President of Government Relations at the National Association of Evangelicals (which represents 45,000 congregations from over 40 denominations), recently and offered a simple, but helpful summary of God's ordination of government. Speaking at Baltimore's New Hope Community Church, Carey laid out government's purpose, and how citizens should react to government even when we do not endorse our representatives nor their policies. more >>
A U.K. priest has said he will stop engaging with groups from the gay community following the filing of a civil action against a Christian-owned bakery firm that refused to make a pro-gay marriage cake featuring the "Sesame Street" characters Bert and Ernie in July.
"I will be writing today to those groups from the gay community — with whom I have had a very constructive and ongoing engagement in recent years — to say that I'm withdrawing my engagement until the rights of all people, in this case Christians, and freedom of conscience is vindicated and respected by the Equality Commission and the gay community," Fr. Tim Bartlett told BBC.
Bartlett, a member of the Catholic Council for Social Affairs, participated on the panel of this year's Belfast Pride event. He insisted, however, that civil action by the Equality Commission against Ashers Baking Company is a violation of people's right to freedom of conscience. more >>

LONGUEUIL, QUEBEC -- (Marketwire) -- 01/17/13 -- Avala Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:AVZ) (the "Company" or "Avala") is pleased to announce that it has closed a brokered financing for gross proceeds of $8,000,000. A total of 40,000,000 units ("Units"), each comprised of one common share of the Company ("Common Share") and one share purchase warrant ("Warrant"), were sold at $0.20 per Unit (the "Offering"). Each Warrant is exercisable for a period of 24 months from closing at an exercise price of $0.30 to acquire one Common Share. The Offering syndicate was co-led by Dundee Securities Ltd. and Stifel Nicolaus Canada Inc., and included Primary Capital Inc. (collectively, the "Agents"). The Offering was announced by news release on December 18, 2012.
As consideration for their services related to the Offering, the Agents received at closing a total cash commission of $330,000 and non-transferable broker warrants entitling the Agents to purchase up to 1,200,000 units ("Broker Units") on the same terms as the Units sold under the Offering, at a price of $0.20 per Broker Unit until January 17, 2015.
Dundee Precious Metals Inc. (TSX:DPM), the Company's majority shareholder, subscribed for 25,000,000 Units under the Offering, thereby increasing its ownership interest in Avala's outstanding common shares from 51.4% to 53.1% on a non-diluted basis.
The net proceeds of the Offering will be used for the continued exploration and development of the Company's Timok Gold Project in eastern Serbia, and for general corporate purposes.
All securities issued in connection with the Offering, including the broker warrants and the underlying securities, are subject to a hold period that expires May 18, 2013 and may not be traded except as permitted under applicable securities legislation and the policies of the TSXV.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies.

Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

Don't become a victim of legal bullying
Legal Strategies
21st Annual MAX Awards
Send this to a friend
- Dan Kolber
The word "bully" was first used in the 1530s and meant "sweetheart" from the Dutch word "boel" or lover. Over time the meaning evolved to mean "harasser of the weak."
There are many forms of bullying. This week we consider the type of bullying known as "abusive litigation."
Every state has some statute prohibiting abusive litigation, also known as "frivolous litigation" or "malicious prosecution." Federal law also outlaws abusive litigation, the best known of which is Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedures.
The Internal Revenue Code prohibits litigants from taking "frivolous or groundless" positions or any other legal action which purpose is primarily for delay. Also, judges have powers under their own court rules to penalize parties for frivolous arguments.
State bars can take action against lawyers who victimize others through the misuse of the legal process.
The cornerstone of Georgia's law against abusive litigation is OCGA 51-7-81, enacted in 2010. It is entitled "Liability or abusive litigation" and states:
"Any person who takes an active part in the initiation, continuation, or procurement of civil proceedings against another shall be liable for abusive litigation if such person acts:
(1) With malice; and
(2) Without substantial justification."
OCGA 51-7-80 defines "malice" as acting with ill will or for a wrongful purpose and may be inferred if the party initiated or continued civil proceedings in a harassing manner.
"Without substantial justification" is defined as taking action that is frivolous, groundless in fact or in law, or vexations.

The extension was rushed through Congress based on a false sense of urgency, much like the original Patriot Act, which legislators did not even have time to read.
Back then, 45 days after 9/11, the urgency was based on a fear of follow-up attacks. Last week, the urgency supposedly was due to the long-anticipated expiration of three provisions: Section 215, which authorizes the government to demand "any tangible thing" it deems relevant to a terrorism investigation; Section 206, which lets the government obtain secret warrants for "roving wiretaps" without naming its target or specifying his location; and Section 6001 of the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act, which allows secretly authorized domestic surveillance of "lone wolf" terrorism suspects who are not connected to a foreign organization or government.
While members of Congress have had plenty of time to read the Patriot Act since 2001, many of them, perhaps most, still did not know what they were approving. Ron Wyden of Oregon and Mark Udall of Colorado, Democrats who serve on the Senate Intelligence Committee, repeatedly warned that the government conducts surveillance based on a "secret interpretation" of the Patriot Act, apparently involving Section 215, that cannot be discussed because it is classified.
Yet congressional leaders insisted the expiring powers -- including the "lone wolf" provision, which has never been used -- were absolutely essential to national security. Letting them lapse, even for a single day, claimed Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., would invite "dire consequences for our national security ... giving terrorists the opportunity to plot attacks against our country undetected."
Never mind that Congress could have temporarily extended these provisions to provide more time for debate and consideration of amendments. The point of the wait-and-hurry-up strategy used by the Patriot Act's supporters is to assume away the very issue to be debated: whether the benefits of the privacy-invading powers granted by the law are worth the damage they do to civil liberties.

I got oddly confused when she started talking in third person in bed.
Apparently they want to see what I've been working on for the last three months. Can I just hand them a bunch of empty fifths?
Just shaved my legs with toilet water in a walgreens bathroom. I am so classy.
I think the boy in my gender studies class cried when 90% of the girls said they had faked an orgasm
I googled what to do, and it said to squeeze the pressure out so people are taking turns sitting on my head. I can't believe I'm allowing this
Holy shit. This 2 year old just told me her nipples were for her boyfriend. Hello future leaders of america
Dont ask, hes out back rolling around in the yard freaking out. literally just had a 15 minute conversation, only word i could make out was "yellow"
hi sober isdnt real. this is a mass rtoomate taext i thing. bye
I did the mature thing and subtweeted that bitch. She follows me so she'll see.
Let's be honest, your relationships fail because the man you're looking for is the equivalent of an intellectual blow-up doll.
He told me he wants to eat me out all day while I lay in bed watching football. Seems like a solid foundation for a relationship to me.
i'm pretty sure i can feel a baby kicking just looking at him. if he didnt impregnate you, you officially have an iron-clad uterus.
Now that makes it sound like you had sex with a guy in batman costume and you never took the mask off so you can't 100 percent be sure.
I asked to see his balls for medical purposes.

The spending bill was approved 73-26 today and now goes to the House. Earlier, in a voice vote, senators amended the measure to let the U.S. Department of Agriculture shift funds among programs to avoid pulling inspectors from meatpacking plants that require federal oversight to operate.
The possibility that plants may shut for 11 days from July through September drew protests from the American Meat Institute and other industry groups. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, who earlier estimated the disruptions could cost the industry as much as $10 billion, said the amendment should avert furloughs.
Meatpackers welcomed the vote. "Meat inspection is an essential government service, and should not be interrupted," Gary Mickelson, spokesman for Springdale, Arkansas-based Tyson, the biggest U.S. meat processor, said in an e-mail. Mike Martin, spokesman for Minneapolis-based Cargill Inc., said "it appears as though the best interest of the American public is being served in Washington today in a bipartisan way."
The Senate spending bill would fund the federal government through Sept. 30. House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan yesterday said his Republican colleagues may accept the Democrats' spending measure as-is. House Appropriations Committee Chairman Hal Rogers said he expects the bill to pass tomorrow.
The USDA began notifying union representatives that furloughs are possible after the budget-cutting measure known as sequestration took effect March 1. The mechanism is part of a 2011 deficit-reducing agreement that requires $85 billion in across-the-board cuts to government agencies this fiscal year.
Meat, poultry, and egg processing plants are prohibited from operating without the presence of federal inspectors. Having to furlough inspectors for 15 days would cost the industry more than $10 billion in production losses, and workers at meat plants could lose more than $400 million in wages, Vilsack said in a letter to Senate Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Barbara Mikulski in February.
Under the amendment, $55 million would be transferred from USDA school-equipment grants and maintenance budgets for buildings and facilities to the department's Food Safety and Inspection Service, which pays inspectors.

Uranium a poor investment, despite "dead cat bounce"
Of all the problems confronting uranium, and a reason to stay clear, the biggest is the energy glut and the fact that most alternatives forms of power are easier to develop and require much less government scrutiny than nuclear power.
Uranium Is Hot, But Not For Investors, Forbes, Tim Treadgold, 18 Nov 14 At a time when most commodity prices are falling it is hard to ignore a metal outlier that has just had its best week in 18 years, but in the case of uranium ignorance could save you money.
Last week's 14% rise in the price of the nuclear fuel took most observers by surprise though when analyzed it seems that the much of rise in the short-term price from $36.75 a pound to $42/lb was in a category called dead-cat bounce.
For anyone unfamiliar with market slang a dead-cat bounce is the height a cat rises off the footpath after falling 20 floors – it's an irrelevant recovery, and the cat's still dead……… Continue reading
The nuclear power program is a dud deal for India
Globally, nuclear power is set to face increasing challenges due to its inability to compete with other energy sources in pricing. Another factor is how to manage the rising volumes of spent nuclear fuel in the absence of permanent disposal facilities. ……. nuclear power is in no position to lead the world out of the fossil fuel age.
False promise of nuclear power, THE HINDU, BRAHMA CHELLANEY 19 Nov 14 "…….Westinghouse, GE and Areva also wish to shift the primary liability for any accident to the Indian taxpayer so that they have no downside risk but only profits to reap. If a Fukushima-type catastrophe were to strike India, it would seriously damage the Indian economy. A recent Osaka City University study has put Japan's Fukushima-disaster bill at a whopping $105 billion.
To Dr. Singh's discomfiture, three factors put a break on his reactor-import plans — the exorbitant price of French- and U.S.-origin reactors, the accident-liability issue, and grass-roots opposition to the planned multi-reactor complexes. Continue reading
Did you know? Australia is a supporter of Sustainable Energy for All (SE4ALL)
No to Nukes: Australia's Stand Lunes, Novembre 17, 2014
"………Fukushima met its unfortunate fate due to nature's indescribable and immeasurable force. Now, we must return to its cradle in order to survive the next thirty or so years. Other renewable resources Australia is currently harnessing are bioenergy, hydro, and geothermal. It seems the country is one of the supporters of Sustainable Energy for All (SE4ALL) program launched on September 2011by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.
SE4ALL has three objectives, one of which is "doubling the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix" by 2030. Renewable energy is eco-friendly and cheap compared to fossil fuels that contribute to air pollution worldwide. This global initiative is same as "hitting two birds with one stone" approach. It doesn't only solve the problem of energy or electricity shortage in the future. This may also lessen the impact of climate change that we are experiencing right now.
In this way, we don't have to resort on desperate actions such as extracting electricity from nuclear power plants. As always, nature has everything we need in terms of natural resources and all we have to do is search for it and seize it. In return, we must be responsible ambassadors of our planet so it could still be available for the future generations. Article Written By: www.heatexchangers.com.au http://japstreet.blogspot.com.au/
Russia calls Australia unreliable partner in nuclear power industry
Australia unreliable partner in nuclear power industry — Russian FM Tass November 18, Australia has shot itself in the foot to demonstrate that it cannot be regarded as a reliable business partner in such a sensitive sphere as nuclear power, the Russian Foreign Ministry said MOSCOW, November 18. /TASS/. By refusing to supply uranium to Russia, Australia has positioned itself as an unreliable business partner in such a sensitive and responsible sphere as the nuclear power industry, the Russian Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday.
Australia's trade deal with India, export of uranium not finalised
PM announces 12-month deadline for the new trade deal with India STEVEN SCOTT THE COURIER-MAIL NOVEMBER 19, 2014"………The Prime Minister backed India's investment in coal in Queensland's Galilee Basin and vowed to fast track the first sales of uranium to the world's largest democracy in a drive to revive flagging ties between our two countries……..
" Mr Abbott said. "And if all goes to plan Australia will export uranium to India under suitable safeguards, of course, because cleaner energy is one of the most important contributions that Australia can make to the wider world.
"By the end of next year we will have a free trade deal with what is potentially the world's largest market."……..
Mr Modi said India wanted "energy that does not cause our glaciers to melt", saying his country had a growing appetite for "clean coal and gas, renewable energy and fuel for nuclear power"………
Uranium sales have not yet taken place but Mr Abbott, who signed a safeguards agreement for the exports in New Delhi in September, said he wanted the trade to begin soon………http://www.couriermail.com.au/news/queensland/pm-announces-12month-deadline-for-the-new-trade-deal-with-india/story-fnn8dlfs-1227127565730
ACT and South Australia winning the renewables race
The ACT has the country's most ambitious emissions reductions and renewable energy targets Climate Council report reveals, Canberra Times November 18, 2014 Clare Colley The ACT is "punching above its weight" compared to other jurisdictions with the most ambitious emissions reduction and renewable energy targets in the country, the Climate Council's latest report reveals.
Along with South Australia, the ACT is "winning the Australian renewable energy race" putting it in the "best position to reap the benefits of the global shift to cleaner energy", the report comparing the renewable energy policies of all states and territories said.
The ACT aims to source 90 per cent of its electricity supply from renewables by 2020; currently it's at 20 per cent.
In comparison, South Australia has a renewable energy target of 50 per cent by 2025 but is already sourcing around 33 per cent of its electricity from renewable sources.
………The report said Australia's states and territories could act as leaders tackling climate change and growing Australia's renewable energy industry, mirroring the US where state-based targets and incentives had made the country second in the world for installed renewable energy capacity.
Thorium nuclear power, not only super expensive, but has a weapons proliferation risk
Is the "Superfuel" Thorium Riskier Than We Thought? A new study in Nature says that using thorium as a nuclear fuel has a higher risk for proliferation into weapons than scientists had believed. Popular Mechanics, By Phil McKenna December 5, 2012
"It may not be as resistant as touted and in some cases the risk of proliferation may be worse than other fuels," says Stephen Ashley of the University of Cambridge. Continue reading
South Australia a world leader on renewable energy, other States lagging badly
SOUTH Australia is a world leader when it comes to renewable energy but other states including Victoria have missed out on investment worth billions of dollars, a report has found.
AUSTRALIA is being put in a vulnerable position without clear federal policy and changes to the renewable energy target, Climate Council chief councillor Professor Tim Flannery says.
Prof Flannery said the Australian government has to stop dragging its feet and be willing to address the issues, instead of seeking to reduce its target of 20 per cent renewable energy by 2020."If we can forge a policy mix, a policy formula, that serves our economy well, that allows us to do our bit for combating climate change at a commensurate level from what we've seen China and the US do, I think people will be satisfied."Prof Flannery says individual states are being put under pressure to perform and the Climate Council report released on Tuesday has recorded varying results.He said South Australia took action early and now got 36 per cent of its energy from renewable resources while less than four per cent of Victoria's energy is renewable."Victoria has got fantastic wind and solar resources, every bit as good as South Australia but we're seeing here a laggard state," he said."We haven't seen the investment here in Victoria that we would otherwise have expected."Victoria has probably missed out on $4 billion worth of investment in the renewable energy sector."Prof Flannery said the NSW government has seen the error of its ways and is now committed to a renewable focus……..http://www.news.com.au/national/breaking-news/sa-leads-states-on-renewable-energy/story-e6frfku9-1227126643185
Ozone depletion contributes to climate change
The ozone hole leaves a lasting impression on southern climate, The Conversation, Sharon Robinson Professor at University of Wollongong, 8 November 2014, Many people think of sunburn and skin cancer when they hear about the ozone hole. But more ultraviolet (UV) radiation isn't the only problem.
The ozone hole has also led to dramatic changes in Southern Hemisphere weather patterns. These in turn are altering natural ecosystems and food production. These climate changes are likely having a similar if not greater impact than more UV radiation.
We discuss some of these changes in a paper published today in Global Change Biology.
This week the parties to the Montreal Protocol will meet in Paris, to consider the latest report from the United Nations Environment Programme Environmental Effects Assessment Panel. This report summarises the impact of both ozone loss and the associated increase in ultraviolet radiation on the environment and human health.
The Montreal Protocol continues to be effective at phasing out ozone depleting chemicals and has decreased levels of these greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. But while the Montreal Protocol is a success story, the Southern Hemisphere still faces the threat of climate change from rising greenhouse gases. There is still much to do.

Warning on outdoor workers' risk of melanoma
Lost work time and extra insurance costs were also repercussions for employers, the Cancer Council of Victoria said at the start of National Skin Cancer Action Week.
The Standard sought comment after observing several outdoor workers in recent weeks without sun-protective headwear………
he cancer council said outdoor workers received five to 10 times more UV radiation exposure than indoor workers.
"In Australia it is estimated that around 200 melanomas and 34,000 non-melanoma skin cancers are caused by occupational exposures to UV every year," a spokeswoman said. "Recent research indicated that while 95 per cent of Australian outdoor workers use some form of sun protection, just 9 per cent are considered to be fully protected from UV overexposure."
In Victoria more than 40,000 new cases of skin cancer were diagnosed every year including 2307 cases of melanoma and 460 deaths from skin cancer……..
It is estimated two in three Australians will get some form of skin cancer before they are 70 and UV levels are strong enough in January to damage the skin in as little as 11 minutes.http://www.standard.net.au/story/2706123/warning-for-employers-on-melanoma/?cs=4162

Balance between need for Vitamin D, and avoidance of skin cancer
Skin cancer fears blinding people to health benefits of sunlight, say scientists SMH, November 18, 2014 Julia Medew Skin cancer prevention campaigns may be steering people away from healthy doses of sunlight, which is now thought to protect against high blood pressure, heart disease and possibly stroke, a group of British scientists say.
In a provocative presentation to a Melbourne conference this week, Martin Feelisch, a professor of clinical and experimental sciences at the University of Southampton, questioned whether it was time for a "radical rethink" of the advice given to people about how much time they should spend in the sun.
Professor Feelisch said recent epidemiological studies suggested that the health benefits of moderate sunlight exposure outweighed the harmful effects of UV radiation on the skin.
In particular, a recent study conducted with colleagues at the University of Edinburgh found that a dose of UV equivalent to about 30 minutes of sunshine during the summer in southern Europe lowered people's blood pressure……….
But head of the Australian Cancer Council Professor Ian Olver said current public health advice was sophisticated in Australia, balancing the pros and cons of sunlight for Vitamin D and emphasising high UV index times when people are more likely to burn.
"If the UV index is three or above, the sun is intense enough to burn you and therefore you need to take some protection measures. If it's less than three, you can probably safely go out in the sun. So for vitamin D, early in the morning or late in the afternoon, it might be fine to go out without protection but in the middle of the day, it usually isn't."
Professor Olver said despite these campaigns, Australia still had high rates of skin cancer. There were still more than 12,000 melanomas and 430,000 non-melanoma skin cancers diagnosed each year and about 2000 people died from the disease annually, he said. http://www.smh.com.au/national/health/skin-cancer-fears-blinding-people-to-health-benefits-of-sunlight-say-scientists-20141118-11p8we.html#ixzz3JXjrrN1
Australian uranium miner Paladin continues its downward plunge
Paladin continues uranium plunge, Yahoo 7 News, Nick Evans November 14, 2014 A surge in the uranium spot price failed to help Paladin Energy's bottom line, with the company declaring a net after-tax loss from operations of $US45.8 million for the September quarter.
According to Paladin's latest financial results, released late yesterday, revenue for the quarter crashed 43 per cent to $US39.3 million………
The unexpectedly big loss will put further pressure on Paladin's balance sheet, despite the completion of a $US190 million company-saving deal with China National Nuclear Corporation for the sale of a 25 per cent stake in Langer Heinrich. Closure of the deal left Paladin with cash holdings worth $US209.5 million at September 30.
Paladin also refinanced its existing $US110 million project finance loan and $US20 million working capital facility in the quarter, and used some of the CNNC cash to pay down debt.
But the company still faces the task of refinancing $US300 million of convertible bonds maturing next November, as well as paying $US40.4 million in interest and principal repayments before next September…….https://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/business/wa/a/25512522/paladin-continues-uranium-plunge/
Tony Abbott urged by United Nations chief to support climate change fund
UN chief urges Australian PM to support climate change fund, SMH, November 15, 2014 Tom Allard National Affairs Editor UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has revealed that world leaders at the G20 are "actively discussing" climate change as he called on Australia to contribute to a UN fund supporting developing nations to combat global warming.
Describing climate change as the "defining challenge of our times", Mr Ban's comments cut across prime minister Tony Abbott's push to keep discussions on climate change off the agenda at the G20.
And, while the US has pledged $3 billion to the UN's Green Climate Fund, Mr Abbott has previously said Australia won't contribute, describing it as "socialism masquerading as environmentalism".
"Climate change is the defining issue of our times so it's only natural that G20 leaders should focus much more on this as part of making this world sustainable," said Mr Ban said in Brisbane on Saturday..
The world, he added, was looking to the G20 to take the lead on climate change, and he asked for more "ambitious pledges" towards the Global Climate Fund. As well as the US, Denmark, Mexico, South Korea, Germany, France, Denmark, Norway and Switzerland are other nations to support the fund………… http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/un-chief-urges-australian-pm-to-support-climate-change-fund-20141115-11ndeh.html#ixzz3JO6LJjnx
Tons of radioactive wastes for incineration in Japan
Even if Japan opts for the best technique (rejection of one radionuclide in 100,000 to 1 million, according to Areva) this operation will lead to significant emissions into the atmosphere. As to incinerate waste will not remove the radioaction . Reconquérir le territoire reste une tâche titanesque. To reconquer that territory from radiation will remain a gigantic task.
Fukushima: Japan has chosen to incinerate tons of radioactive waste By Marc Cherki 11/09/2014 Translation by D'un Renard
In Kawauchi, a small village located on both sides of of 20 kilometers division line around the Fukushima plant, many one cubic meter bags, are filled by the decontaminators with radioactive vegetal waste. Plants, grasses, lichens, shrubs that lined the road are now piled into these big bags.
Thus, the radiation received by persons traveling on this path is reduced. The plants are also removed within 20 meters around houses.
With Date and Minamisoma, Kawauchi is one of the "model villages" exemplified by the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) and the Japanese government.
The committed efforts are huge . In less than a year, since the nuclear accident in March 2011, projects funded by the government were already valued at 10 billion euros only for the decontamination of soils, houses and a microscopic part of the forests.
At present, the kariokiba, the temporary storage sites, are overfull of waste.
About 43 million cubic meters (43 million tons), as plastic bags of blue, black or gray colors depending on the choice of the town, are piling into a thousand temporary sites.
The bags are half filled with plants.
The others contain the contaminated soil removed from the surface of rice fields and schoolyards, materials polluted by radioactive fallout cloud or dust collected in houses gutters,
The Japanese government has pledged to deal with the waste from 1 January 2015. But nobody believes this possible in such a short time. Continue reading

Tidbits of Wisdom
So, I Fell Off the Wagon
Visit the
Diastasis Recti from a Mom's Perspective page
for more posts and encouragement!
This is me:
Not me 9 months pregnant.
Not me a couple of days postpartum.
Me today.
No brace. No airbrushing.
We've talked Diastasis Recti before. I had no idea how important that original post would become. I had no idea how many women were out there suffering silently, wondering how this had happened.
Ever since I mustered up the courage to post that first blog entry on the topic, I've been on a quest. I've been searching for support garments in and out of pregnancy. I've searched for the right size, the right amount of coverage, the right comfort level. I've also faithfully stood by the Tupler Techniqueâ"¢ as the ONLY way to actually FIX what was broken.
I did not think The Tupler Techniqueâ"¢ could really fix
After all, my diastasis was HUGE. Unfixable…except with surgery…
In February, I consulted with a plastic surgeon who basically said he'd never seen anything like
He said he could bring the fascia together, but not the muscles. He said he couldn't really help me.
I left his office crying.
The only thing to do now was to CONCEAL the diastasis as best as I could with a brace and compression garments.
Was there a way I could actually HEAL?
That's when I ended up in touch with Julie Tupler herself!
She believed in
And IF she believed in MY ability to heal…a 10+ finger width diastasis…then ANYONE could heal! And if THAT was possible, then I would shout it from the rooftops!
And so, the journey begins…
NOTE:Â The 4 tools I talk about below are great if you have the money; however, I still wholeheartedly endorse the book and offer some other "tweaking" ideas in my post: So, I Fell Off the Wagon.
Today, I have in hand 4 tools:
1. Julie Tupler's DVD
{The DVD is so much better than the book I bought back in 2007! Julie shows you exactly how to put on the splint – even double splinting like I have to- and goes through all the exercises WITH you. Watching this, I also realized my diastasis was MUCH larger than I had originally supposed because I was not checking it correctly. I received this DVD free of charge.}
2. The Tupler Technique™ Guidebook
{This book is a quick reference guide and a logbook for checking off each day's exercises. I purchased this book myself.}
3. Two Diastasis Rehab Splints™
The splint at top is the splint Julie now sells. I have 2 of these as per Julie's orders since my diastasis is so large. The splint shown below is the old one I bought in 2007 – this is the splint I could not recommend. I had no idea it had been revamped. I wholeheartedly endorse the new version! Using two of them has been perfect for what I needed. To see how to wear the splint, view the video shown here. {I received the two new splints free of charge.}
4. Online Support from Julie herself.
{This is something that is coming soon to Julie's website. I'm getting Julie live via Skype free of charge. The online support program will be in a webinar format. I had my first session with Julie last week! It was so nice to have her doing the exercises along with me and cheering me on! But, I will tell you, she's not a pushover! No half-hearted attempts at the exercises allowed!}
The Tummy Chronicles will give you a candid look at one mom's hope to heal. This will be a no-holds-barred chronicle of the program…the ups, the downs, and everything in between. This is real, folks. This is
If you would like to join me on this journey, the first 3 items on my list are the ones you will need to get started (see note). You will need to measure your waist around the belly button to get the right splint size (make sure you order 2 if need be!)
Be sure and check your diastasis to see how large it is so you can track your progress. To check for a diastasis, READ THIS CAREFULLY. As I said above, I thought my diastasis was smaller than it actually was. Mine is a 10+ finger width, meaning I don't even have enough fingers to check it!
Also, my connective tissue is VERY weak. I can actually see my internal organs moving just below the skin. Julie talks more about this in the DVD.
And lastly, Julie said something to me that has really stuck with me as I've begun this journey…{and I paraphrase}…
Having a diastasis is like having a broken bone. To heal, a broken bone must have a cast on it. The splint is like a cast. It might not always be comfortable, but that is what it takes to heal.
I've spent so much time looking for comfort, I never even thought about the possibility that healing isn't always a comfortable business.
I am committed.
I want this. I need this. I'd love to have you join me!
Note: You can do this program to PREVENT a diastasis AND you can do this program while you are PREGNANT! Please, please let other women know that this IS preventable!
