Leviticus 26: 21 And if ye walk contrary unto Me, and will not hearken unto Me; I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins.
Leviticus 26: 22 And I will send the beast of the field among you, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; and your ways shall become desolate.
Leviticus 26: 23 And if in spite of these things ye will not be corrected unto Me, but will walk contrary unto Me;
Leviticus 26: 24 then will I also walk contrary unto you; and I will smite you, even I, seven times for your sins.
Leviticus 26: 25 And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall execute the vengeance of the covenant; and ye shall be gathered together within your cities; and I will send the pestilence among you; and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.
Leviticus 26: 26 When I break your staff of bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver your bread again by weight; and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied.
Leviticus 26: 27 And if ye will not for all this hearken unto Me, but walk contrary unto Me;
Leviticus 26: 28 then I will walk contrary unto you in fury; and I also will chastise you seven times for your sins.
Leviticus 26: 29 And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat.
Leviticus 26: 30 And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your sun-pillars, and cast your carcasses upon the carcasses of your idols; and My soul shall abhor you.
all the other sciences, are regulated by the higher science or knowledge of
knowledge. Socrates replies by again dividing the abstract from the
concrete, and asks how this knowledge conduces to happiness in the same
definite way in which medicine conduces to health.
And now, after making all these concessions, which are really inadmissible,
we are still as far as ever from ascertaining the nature of temperance,
which Charmides has already discovered, and had therefore better rest in
the knowledge that the more temperate he is the happier he will be, and not
trouble himself with the speculations of Socrates.
In this Dialogue may be noted (1) The Greek ideal of beauty and goodness,
the vision of the fair soul in the fair body, realised in the beautiful
and there is no similar instance of a 'motive' which is taken from Xenophon
in an undoubted dialogue of Plato. On the other hand, the upholders of the
genuineness of the dialogue will find in the Hippias a true Socratic
spirit; they will compare the Ion as being akin both in subject and
treatment; they will urge the authority of Aristotle; and they will detect
in the treatment of the Sophist, in the satirical reasoning upon Homer, in
the reductio ad absurdum of the doctrine that vice is ignorance, traces of
a Platonic authorship. In reference to the last point we are doubtful, as
in some of the other dialogues, whether the author is asserting or
overthrowing the paradox of Socrates, or merely following the argument
'whither the wind blows.' That no conclusion is arrived at is also in

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. 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...

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. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

If there's any silver lining to the current US resistance to emissions trading programs, it's that we can let the Europeans work out the kinks. Putting a market price on emissions liabilities that can also be used as assets if they're not released makes for some very new accounting challenges, as reported in the Financial Times.

the room was very small / tight
Fantastic Stay, very helpful and friendly staff.
Friendliness and helpfulness of the staff when came back at night to discover all room electrics had tripped. Very promptly resolved
The noise made by cleaners outside the room hoovering at 8am and the workman drilling at 8am
I liked the friendliness of the staff, and the fact that the hotel was within walking distance of Oxford street.
All was good
th location is very convenient: close to the Paddington station/tube, Lancaster gate tube, to my favorite area Notting Hill:)
the club rooms are in the basement, but they are bigger and much expensive than the standard (deluxe) rooms.
Excellent treatment from staff, had to complain about phone and internet connection in room they gave me in basement, once they moved me next day all was very good.
Poor communication facilities in basement room, and room very small and poorly lit. Once I got moved and upgraded, all very good.
Personal very friendly and try their best to handle the situation. The breakfast personal are very friendly and quick to serve.
Hotel was under renovation and we did not know about any of it.We stay 3 nights and have to climb 3 floor of stairs.No ventilation because of the fixing of other rooms.They could not afford real glasses in the bathroom or wine glass in the room. Very disappointed with Booking .com about this hotel.This is the second time I encounter have a hotel not matching what they said from booking.com
Easy enough to find and to get to from Paddington Railway station.
There are much better hotels for the price in the area (which doesn't include breakfast). The rooms are tiny and claustrophobic. The sound insulation of the rooms is very poor - you can hear every single conversation from the room next door and the corridors. Stayed there over a weekend and on the Sunday afternoon, some person from the hotel (unsure if hotel staff - or subcontractor) barged in the room without knocking, wanting to check the TV sets..
My single room for two nights excluding breakfast early booking was 283 Eur.I Even could not turn in this single room, nowhere to put the luggage, narrow bed.... 4 stars hotel?? In Zone 1 London.Luckily the guy who carried my luggage helped me to change the room to a little bit bigger one. Further lift out of order and a nice labyrinth of stairs up and down and doors to find the room.If I would weight abt 100 kg or less I wouldnt' be able to enter the shower cabin.So I was dissapointed.
Location: The location of the hotel is brilliant which is very close to the Paddington train station where you have direct access to hythrow express and close to Lancaster underground station which is well connected to the centeral line
Elevator: During our stay the elvator was not working and we were staying in the 4th. floor Small rooms: The size of the room is small
Good location, low rate available (compared to other hotels in area)
Room too warm
Lift out of order for the 2 days of my stay (at 4th floor) Room extremely small
Poor room heating Poor room design No breakfast option
Excellent location and good service.
The rooms are a bit small.
good location, easy walking distance to hyde park, lancaster gate tube station and queensway (where there are several restaurants). no noise at night from the street. nice people, helpful. good breakfast.
small shower booth.
For me on that day , I needed a hotel near to paddington for an early morning train, so good value for the location.
Dark wood and thin small corridors.
it was quiet even though it was on a main road.
The staff were all foreign and not exactly friendly or welcoming. Made to feel like i was disturbing their precious time by checking in. I had booked a Deluxe Double room which when I was shown to the room was no bigger than 8ft x 8ft with a normal double bed. There was no way I could put my bag on the floor without it being in the way so where would my wife put hers? There was a space of at most approx 1ft at the base of the bed to the desk. How on earth did they expect anyone to put up an iron in that room let alone use it! I immediately stated that this room was not fit for purpose and called reception while the member of staff was still with me. I had to wait almost 15 minutes for them to call me back to confirm that there was another room. I was shown this room and advised as it was still being cleaned it would not be ready for another 10-15 minutes. I waited in the original room for over half an hour before they called and said i could now go to the new room. This room was much bigger(normal hotel double room) but they called it a club room. Upon checking out i had to wait while the reception staff chatted and took their time with each customer infant of me. it took almost 20 minutes for me to check out and get my receipt. It was very painful and time consuming. I will not be staying at this hotel again!!
Stayed in abasement room over the road from reception I arrived after midnight. However a 6AM a very load buzzing noise woke me and persisted for 15 min intervals until I left at 8 am.
Room stylish, clean and comfortable. Wi-fi very good and facilities very good. Staff helpful and friendly.
Coat a little high without breakfast included.
Very friendly staff and great responsiveness when I requested a different room. The second room was as expected from previous experiences Good value for money breakfast.
At first the hotel assigned me to room 031. An absolute unacceptable room for the booked category "Deluxe Single Room" or even a hotel of this category. ~8m² of space for the room with no chair to work at very small desk. The TV (~16") only visible from foot of the bed and mounted high on the wall.
Excellent location, and free wifi was a definite plus.Room was clean.
The room was extremely small.The same can be said for the bed, was short and not wide enough.The window by the bed was very old type,could not be closed completely,and traffic was very annoying in the early morning hours.The shower was very small and definitely impossible to use if someone is more than 1,80m tall.I didn't try the breakfast because I considered it very expensive for 19£ per person.Overall I think it was overpriced for what is being offered.
I chose that specific Hotel because we were arriving in London Paddington at about 11 pm and this Hotel was close to the station. That is the only positive thing I can find.
I am a Best Western rewards member (but I did not show my card because I could not accrue points in that instance) and I chose their brand because I look for a certain level of standards and reliability. In this occasion, with my big disappointment, there was a total lack of those. My booking was for a "DELUXE DOUBLE ROOM" – "spacious room with a large-screen TV". What i got in stead was a very small room (Room No. 551) for a single occupancy on the basement! My partner and I could not even walk on the side of the bed at the same time (on the other side of the bed there was the wall). I felt embarrassed because I was the one who chose it, when for the same price, I could have booked an other hotel with a better room. Very embittered.
Staff very courteous
Room size
Great location. Friendly and helpful staff.
The room was VERY small. Had to keep our luggage in the outside hall of our room. The closet area was blocked by the nightstand and almost impossible to reach it to hang our clothes.
Reception staff very helpful.
Smallest double room I've ever stayed in at a hotel.

"Not bad"
It was fine. Very self service, no one around for check in, info etc. Not great value compared to other places nearby but was fine for a late booking. Had everything you needed, not quite as nice as it looks in the pictures.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"가격대비 아주 좋은 게스트하우스"
가격이 저렴한데도 불구하고 굉장히 쾌적하고 좋았습니다. 방 공간도 굉장히 넓고 주인분들도 아주 친절했습니다. 위치가 조금 인적이 드문 곳이기는 하지만, 역에서 가깝고 근처에 코나드도 있어요. 중앙시장도 걸어서 5분거리 입니다. 예약할 때 프라이빗 화장실이라고 해서 방안에 화장실이 있는 줄 알았는데 그건 아니구요. 방과 화장실이 떨어져 있긴 하지만, 저희만 쓸 수 있도록 열쇠를 제공해줍니다. 그리고 저희가 도착했을 때는 주인분들이 안계셔서 많이 당황했어요. 꼭 미리 전화하셔서 비밀번호를 알고 가시길 바랍니다.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Estancia buena"
La estancia fue buena, contábamos con todos los servicios básicos del hotel. Buena atención, la gerente es muy amable y siempre a disposición de los huéspedes. Ayuda perfecta para una entrada tarde al hotel. Cama cómoda y buena para descansar las largas caminatas. Algunos inconvenientes por la categoría del hotel, no recepción de tarjetas, falla en […] el televisor aunque lo señalamos a la salida (más culpa nuestra que de ellos), la cobertura del wi-fi debe ser replanteada para los últimos cuartos. Fuera de eso, la estancia es recomendable para la gente de paso rápido y que quiera pasar más tiempo a fuera que en el hotel. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Excellent location and helpful staff"

While this hotel does not have air conditioning the location makes up for the absence. Najat was very helpful and even provided water, juice, and cookies for our children. The area is a bit noisy but after touring all day you will have no difficulty falling asleep.

"Stay here if you can!"
06/04/13 mek920
When we first arrived we were greeted by a warm and friendly lady who seems to be the owner. She got is settled in and even told us we could pay the next morning. The room was spacious and ours had a private bathroom. We didnt include breakfast with our stay but little instant coffees were provided in our room. Everything was clean, a lady came and cleaned the room and changed the trash each day as well as refilled your coffee and tea packets if needed. A fridge was provided in a common hallway to store food. Great location. Quiet place. Friendly staff. Only negative I can say is that our room was at the en of the hallway and wifi reception didnt reach that far so we had to leave our room to get wifi. So depending on where your room is, the signal may not be that great. I'd definitely stay here again!

"good price for a central place"
05/26/13 zofia b Krakow, Poland
This B&B is very central near to the station and the all the monuments in the city and near San Lorenzo Market. Our room was nice with a small but private bathroom. The breakfast was not provvided but was very cheep and near the place was full of little and charming bars for take cornetto and capuccino and sandwich in the panetteria. A perfect holiday, we will come back.

"Lot of room and light, little breakfast!"
07/22/11 MiltIV Zurich, Switzerland
Very good choice if cost has to stay low, owner really friendly and almost all city attractions approachable in a few minutes. Bathroom was outside the room but did not really have any problem with that. Breakfast is the only con, at least for four men like us..

"Average B&B, rooms are all different standards."
05/31/11 aussietravellers061 Sydney, Australia
Cheap, extremely clean room, in a good location walking distance to station and all popular sites in Florence. Owner was very friendly and helpful. Ask for Room 1 or room 2, which are quite large and airy. We were given an unnumbered room between the other two rooms and it was very small with a tiny bathroom. Not what we expected from the reviews when we booked. Be careful in summer as we were there in May and it was already very hot and there is no Aircondtioning. You have to leave windows open to get a breeze and there were lots of mosquitoes and it was very noisy from surrounding buildings. There is no Wifi in rooms but you can get it in the hallway. Would not stay again.

"Skip the hotel.Great large rooms in Florence."
10/16/08 tatugrl Competa, Spain
These rooms were large and airy and very clean. Each room has a TV, hot water pot, closet and clean decor by Ikea. Some rooms have bathrooms and some don't so request a room with a bathroom. If they don't have one available there is a bathroom in the hall that is very clean and we always had hot water. Be warned that there is no lift so you will have to haul your bags up two flights of stairs. The location is very central. Just a 10 minute walk from the train station down Via Nazionale. It is a 5 minute walk to the Mercado Centrale and the best street vendors in the city near by. It is also a 10-15 minute walk from the Duomo. Even though it is called a bed and breakfast there is no breakfast. Just a hot water pot, nescafe, tea bags and packaged cakes and snacks. There is also a small shared refrigerator in the hall. Make sure that you let them know your arrival time so that someone will be there to let you in. These were some of the largest rooms that we stayed in while in Italy at a fraction of the price of some hotels that we looked at. They do only take cash as payment so be prepared for this.

"Muy buena pensión"
09/04/14 Araceli G
Me alojé en este hotel con una amiga en octubre de 2013. La situación es extraordinaria, al lado de la estación central y a pocos minutos del doumo. No es necesario coger el transporte público para nada. La dueña fue muy amable, el primer día llegábamos tarde y nos dejó toda la información en la cama. Es una pensión en un segundo piso. Nuestra habitación tenía el baño privado y todo lo necesario. La limpieza fue excelente.

"Limpio y bien ubicado"
07/27/14 jp80ma82 Madrid, Spain
Estuvimos alojados en este B&B durante tres noches, en nuestra estancia en Florencia y quedamos satisfechos. Al llegar no había nadie para recibirnos, pero con las claves de acceso, que nos facilito por e-mail, no tuvimos ningún problema en entrar en la habitación.Al día siguiente completamos nuestro check-in con el dueño que es muy amable y atento. La habitación era arreglada diariamente y nos cambiaban las toallas.Contaba con Aire acondicionado y baño privado. También podías prepararte un café en la habitación y disponía de una nevera y microondas en la recepción para uso común de todos los huéspedes.El sitio estaba bien ubicado cerca de la estación de tren Santa María Novella, y con caminar unos pocos metros salías a la Via Nazionale que estaba llena de restaurantes, pastelerías, y algún supermercado.Como único "pero", es un sitio antiguo y el baño estaba un poco viejo pero todo funcionaba correctamente. En definitiva, es un sitio a elegir, básicamente para dormir sin lujos y ver Florencia que es de los que se trata, ya que si la visitas a finales de Julio hay muchos turistas y tienes que hacer bastante cola para entrar en el Duomo, Galería de la academia,Galería Uffizi...y estas prácticamente todo el día fuera.

Over the past two weeks the UConn Huskies have worked the Centennial state hard visiting schools and making offers in an attempt to expand their recruiting reach into the Rocky Mountains. During their Colorado sojourn, Connecticut extended an offer to Chaparral's Gavin McHenry, met with 2013 Denver East dynamo Shahid Hoover and extended an offer to Valor Christian defensive leader Max McCaffrey.
McCaffrey, an All-State performer last season for his state champion Valor Christian squad, has garnered much attention from east coast schools with Wake Forest and Duke offering as well as UConn. From the west, McCaffrey holds an offer from Arizona State.
A safety, with great size and 4.5 speed, McCaffrey is very comfortable working in and out of the box. Last season, for Valor, McCaffrey had four interceptions to go with numerous tackles.

Houston subsea equipment-makers poised to emerge this year
Nuts & Bolts

Deeper waters are expected to mean deeper pockets for local subsea equipment manufacturers in the oil and gas industry, analysts say.
Houston has historically been a stronghold for subsea equipment manufacturers, explained Byron Pope, a managing director at Tudor Pickering Holt & Co., a Houston-based energy investment bank. However, during the recession, subsea drilling declined, along with manufacturers' profit margins.
Now, with exploration and production companies ramping up drilling in deeper waters, there is a renewed focus on the industry, Pope said. Houston companies that specialize in subsea manufacturing, such as FMC Technologies Inc. (NYSE: FTI), Cameron International Corp. (NYSE: CAM) and Oceaneering International Inc. (NYSE: OII) are expected to increase their profits, he said.
"What's driving growth over the next few years is that we have a lot of deepwater drilling rigs that will be delivered and will result in incremental drilling activity and subsea field development," Pope said. "That results in a need for subsea equipment of all sorts."
Companies worldwide are expected to spend $124 billion from 2013 to 2017 on subsea hardware, according to a recent report from Douglas Westwood, a United Kingdom-based market research firm for the energy industry. The spending is double that of the past five-year period.
However, although Houston companies will see growth, their local manufacturing operations may not expand in kind, Pope said.
"It doesn't feel like we are going to see a boom in terms of local manufacturing jobs," Pope said. "There is somewhat of a push to get manufacturing closer to the end market."
Pope explained that a large share of market growth is outside the United States in areas such as Brazil, Asia and Africa. He expects the majority of subsea equipment companies to expand light manufacturing in these end markets.

Wireless revolution creeps into everyday life with devices that talk to each other
BARCELONA, Spain -- A car that tells your insurance company how you're driving. A bathroom scale that lets you chart your weight on the web. And a meter that warns your air conditioner when electricity gets more expensive.
Welcome to the next phase of the wireless revolution.
The first wave of wireless was all about getting people to talk to each other on cellphones. The second will be getting things to talk to each other, with no humans in between. So-called machine-to-machine communication is getting a lot of buzz at this year's wireless trade show. Some experts believe these connections will outgrow the traditional phone business in less than a decade.
"I see a whole set of industries, from energy to cars to health to logistics and transportation, being totally redesigned," said Vittorio Colao, the CEO of Vodafone Group PLC, in a keynote speech at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. The British cellphone company has vast international interests, including its 45 per cent ownership stake in Verizon Wireless.
Companies are promising machine-to-machine, or M2M, technology, will deliver all manner of services, from the prosaic to the world-changing. At U.S. chipmaker Qualcomm Inc.'s booth here at the show, there's a coffee pot that can be ordered to start brewing from a tablet computer, or an Internet-connected alarm clock. A former president of Costa Rica is also at the show, talking about how M2M can save massive amounts of greenhouse gases by making energy use more efficient -- enough to bring mankind halfway to the goal of halting global warming.
The M2M phenomenon is part of the larger drive to create an "Internet of Things" --a global network that not only links computers, tablets and phones but also connects everything from bikes to washing machines to thermostats. Machina Research, a British firm, believes there will be 12.5 billion "smart" connected devices, excluding phones, PCs and tablets, in the world in 2020, up from 1.3 billion today.
But how does this transformation happen, and who stands to profit?
First, the devices have to be able to connect. That's not a trivial undertaking, especially considering people don't upgrade washing machines or renovate their homes as often as they change cellphones and PCs.
One company at the show, a Los Angeles-based startup named Tethercell, has an ingenious solution for battery-powered devices: a "fake" AA battery that houses a smaller AAA battery in an electronic jacket. It can be placed in a battery compartment with other batteries. Within a distance of 24 metres, some smartphones and tablets can then signal the "battery" to turn the device on or off. For instance, parents whose kids have a lot of noisy toys can turn all of them off with touch of a single button. A fire alarm could send a text-message warning its battery is running low, rather than blaring an audio signal.
Unfortunately, a Tethercell from the first production run costs $35. Co-founder Kellan O'Connor believes the price can come down to $10, but that's still a non-trivial cost, and symptomatic of the high price of building out the Internet of Things. For devices that need to connect at long range over a cellular network, the cost of radio components alone ranges from $10 to $70, according to analyst Dan Shey of ABI Research.
That's not expensive in the context of some big-ticket items, such as cars, which have been forerunners when it comes to non-phone wireless connections. General Motors Corp. started equipping cars with OnStar wireless calling and assistance services in the mid-'90s. At the show, it announced it is updating the service for faster data connections, enabling services such as remote engine diagnostics and upgrades to the control software. AT&T Inc., which has been aggressive about getting into the M2M business, is ousting Verizon Wireless as the network provider for OnStar.
Colao, the CEO of Vodafone, gave an example of another "smart" car application that might seem intrusive to some: The company has been trying out a service in Italy that lets an auto-insurance company know how much a car is being used and charges premiums accordingly. It can also score the driver based on his or her driving style and give pointers on how to handle the car more safely.
Cellular connections are creeping into smaller, cheaper devices. Ecooltra, which rents out electric scooters by the day in Spain, wants to connect them to the Internet, which would let renters figure out through their phones where there's a scooter for rent and how much of a charge is in its battery. The feature is perfect for quick, impromptu rentals by the hour. Adding "smarts" to the scooters in the shape of a cellular modem would turn the company from a conventional rental service to a "scooter-sharing" business, much like car-sharing services such as Zipcar.
Once devices are connected, the next problem is getting them to talk to each other and making sense of what they're saying. ABI's Shey said this is the real business opportunity in M2M, more valuable than making the modems or providing the wireless connections. He believes that's driving a behind-the-scenes scramble of deal-making at the show, as companies such as AT&T seek to bolster their ability to support M2M by acquiring companies that provide a "middle layer" of software between the devices and their owners.
For connections between devices in the home, such as that remote-controlled coffee pot, Qualcomm touts its AllJoyn project, which it seeks to make an industry standard. Currently, the main ways for devices to connect to each other and figure out what they can do, such as Bluetooth and DLNA, are too limited and difficult to use, said Rob Chandhok, president of Qualcomm Innovation Center.
With AllJoyn, "there's nothing to stop you from making a speaker that listens for notifications and turns them into speech, so you hear, 'Hey, you left the refrigerator door open!' " Chandhok said. "You take very simple things and connect them, and people build experiences on top of them. That's what we're trying to do."
José Mara Figueres, the former president of Costa Rica, is now the president of the Carbon War Room, an organization co-founded by billionaire Richard Branson to promote cutbacks in greenhouse-gas emissions through smart, private enterprise. Figueres believes M2M has huge potential to wring efficiency out of energy-guzzling activities and could reduce emissions equivalent to 9.1 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide by 2020 -- roughly equal to the combined emissions of India and the U.S. today.
Vodafone provided one example of how this might be done. The city of Groningen in the Netherlands has put sensors in the trash containers that serve public-housing units. They alert trash haulers when they need to be emptied, saving on unnecessary trips and reducing fuel use by 18 per cent.
With M2M, "in many cases you have information moving instead of us moving," Figueres said.
In another example, Dutch authorities started controlling their street lights wirelessly rather than with "dumb" timers. They save on energy by dimming the lights if traffic is scant, but can also turn them on early if the day is dark.
Could M2M be overhyped -- a promise that won't deliver? The wireless industry is no stranger to rosy projections that don't pan out. Shey, the ABI analyst, thinks M2M will deliver, but perhaps not in a sexy, flashy way. When machine-to-machine connections are created, he said, it's usually not because someone is making a big bet on the future, but because they save money.
"It's about gaining more out of the asset that you have, like a truck. When it needs maintenance, it gets maintenance at the right point. Or ensuring that the vending-machine guy only goes to the vending machine when it's empty," he said.

Iran is considering an international proposal to suspend uranium enrichment to a fissile concentration of 20 percent for a period of six months and converting their existing stockpile of 20% enriched uranium to an oxide for medical use, Al-Monitor reported on Tuesday, citing diplomatic sources.According to the report, Iranian nuclear experts discussed the proposal at technical talks in Istanbul last week with the P5+1 group of world powers which consists of the US, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany.Al-Monitor quoted an analyst briefed on the talks as saying that US officials "had the most substantive conversation they ever had" with Iran at the Istanbul technical talks.The Iranians, however, rejected other demands that the world powers' proposed in exchange for loosening economic sanctions against the Islamic Republic, sources said. At the previous round of talks in Kazakhstan last month, the Iranians reportedly raised objections to a number of proposed steps, including, suspending operations at the underground Fordow nuclear facility, allowing for enhanced inspections by the UN nuclear watchdog and shipping the country's supply of 20% enriched uranium out of the country.According to Al-Monitor, the US may be looking at adding further incentives to sweeten the offer to Iran at the upcoming round of talks scheduled for April 5-6 in Kazakhstan.Western officials have said the offer to Iran at the previous Kazakhstan talks last month entailed an easing of a ban on trade in gold and other precious metals as well as an import embargo on Iranian petrochemical products.In exchange, a senior US official said, Iran would among other things have to suspend uranium enrichment to the fissile concentration of 20 percent at its Fordow underground facility and "constrain the ability to quickly resume operations there".Iran has been wary, suggesting that the powers are asking for concessions more significant than they have offered Tehran.The last 12 months have inflicted a heavy financial burden on Iran's population as sanctions, combined with what critics say is government mismanagement, have torn the economy.With inflation and unemployment soaring and the value of the Iranian currency halved since a year ago, the vast majority of Iranians have tightened their belts to celebrate Iran's new year - or Nowruz, the nation's most important holiday.Reuters contributed to this report.

Collingswood, Ne...
I wanted to make a longer shrug like this one: http://wkdesigner.files.wordpress.com/2007/09/coccoon-shrug1.jpg?w=500, but had a really hard time finding a pattern. I finally just draped my fabric around my dress form, and added a piece at the bottom to make up the length. The fabric is an interesting sheer with puffy yarn threads through it, which I figured the easiest way to finish would be to bind the edges. I ended up sewing the binding on by hand, which was by far the most time-consuming part of the project.
