ICE Is Red-Hot!
Well, ICE is red hot.
The International Congress of Entomology (ICE) is gearing up for its 2016 conference, "Entomology without Borders," to take place Sept. 25-30, 2016 in Orlando, Fla., and the line-up of speakers should make all entomologists--and others interested in insect science--mark their calendars.
With a red-hot pen.
The ICE meeting will be co-located with the annual meetings of the Entomological Society of America (ESA) and the Entomological Society of Canada, along with events hosted by the entomological societies of China, Brazil, Australia, and others.
First of all, the ICE co-chairs, chemical ecologist Walter Leal of UC Davis and vegetable research entomologist Alvin Simmons of USDA/ARS, managed to book not one, but two Nobel Laureautes: Peter Agre (2003 Nobel Prize in Chemistry) and Jules Hoffmann (2011 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine).
Then the next announcement. Last weekend at the ESA meeting in Portland, Ore., Leal revealed the list of ICE plenary speakers, selected from 77 nominated worldwide.
UC Davis-affiliated entomologists James R. Carey and Robert E. Page Jr., internationally recognized for their work, are among the eight plenary speakers selected.
Carey, a distinguished professor of entomology with the UC Davis Department of Entomology and Nematology, is considered the world's foremost authority on arthropod demography. Page, provost of Arizona State University and emeritus professor and former chair of the UC Davis Department of Entomology, is considered the most influential honey bee biologist of the past 30 years.
"We are delighted to have the first Hispanic woman (Latina) to give a plenary lecture at ICE; likewise, the first kiwi (New Zealander), as well as the first native African to have the opportunity to highlight their work in this venue," said Leal, professor in the UC Davis Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology.
The list of plenary speakers:
- Carolina Barilla-Mury, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, National Institutes of Health, Guatemala & USA, who will speak on medical entomology immunity
- Jacqueline Beggs, University of Auckland, New Zealand. Topic: biodiversity and biosecurity
- James R. Carey, University of California, Davis. Topic: insect biodemography
- Fred Gould, North Carolina State University. Topic: GMOs: crop and health protection
- Robert E. Page, Arizona State University. Topic: bee biology: Spirit of the Hive" (title of his latest book)
- José Roberto Postali Parra, ESALQ, University of Sao Paulo, Brazil. Topic: biological control.
- John A. Pickett, Rothamsted Research, UK. Topic: insect-plant interactions
- Baldwyn Torto, Centre of Insect Physiology & Ecology, based in Nairobi, Kenya. Topic: colony collapse disorder and pollination.
Capsule information on the UC Davis-affiliated entomologists:
James R. Carey has authored more than 250 scientific articles, including landmark papers in Science that shaped the way scientists think about lifespan limits and actuarial aging, and two articles in the Annual Review series that provide new syntheses on insect biodemography (2003, Annual Review of Entomology) and aging in the wild (2014, Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution, and Systematics). He directed a $10 million multi-university grant for more than a decade (2003-2013).
Carey is the author of three books, including Applied Demography for Biologists with Special Emphasis on Insects (Oxford University Press), the go-to source for all entomologists studying demography. Highly honored for his work, Carey received the 2014 C. W. Woodworth Award, the highest honor bestowed by the Pacific Branch of the Entomological Society of America (ESA), and the 2014 UC Davis Academic Senate Distinguished Teaching Award for innovative and creative teaching.
Carey chaired the University of California Systemwide Committee on Research Policy—one of the most important and prestigious committees in the UC system and served on the systemwide UC Academic Council. In addition, he serves as the associate editor of three journals: Genus, Aging Cell, and Demographic Research. In addition, he is the first entomologist to have a mathematical discovery named after him by demographers—The Carey Equality—which set the theoretical and analytical foundation for a new approach to understanding wild populations.
He is a fellow of four professional organizations: ESA, the Gerontological Society of America, the California Academy of Sciences and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
Carey has presented more than 250 seminars in venues all over the world, from Stanford, Harvard, Moscow, Beijing to Athens, London, Adelaide and Okinawa. In addition, Carey is considered a worldwide authority on the demography and invasion biology of tephritid fruit flies, particularly the Mediterranean fruit fly; and a preeminent authority on biodemographics of human aging and lifespan. He is also a pioneering force advocating the educational use of digital video technology, work that he is sharing throughout much of the state, nation and the world.
Carey received his bachelor's degree (animal ecology, 1973) and master's degree (entomology, 1975) from Iowa State University, and his doctorate in entomology from UC Berkeley in 1980.
Robert E. Page Jr.
Page has published more than 200 reviewed publications, three edited books and two authored books. His latest book is "Spirit of the Hive." His lab pioneered the use of modern techniques to study the genetic bases to the evolution of social behavior in honey bees and other social insects.
Page was the first to employ molecular markers to study polyandry and patterns of sperm use in honey bees. He provided the first quantitative demonstration of low genetic relatedness in a highly eusocial species.
Among his other achievements involving honey bee research:
- Page and his students and colleagues isolated, characterized and validated the complementary sex determination gene of the honey bee; perhaps the most important paper yet published about the genetics of Hymenoptera.
- He and his students constructed the first genetic map of any social insect, demonstrating that the honey bee has the highest recombination rate of any eukaryotic organism mapped to date.
In addition, Page was personally involved in genome mappings of bumble bees, parasitic wasps and two species of ants. His most recent work focuses on the genetic bases to individuality in honey bees.
Page also built two modern apicultural labs (in Ohio and Arizona), major legacies that are centers of honey bee research and training. He has trained many hundreds of beekeepers, and continues to teach beekeeping even as provost of the largest public university in the United States. He is also the Foundation Chair of Life Sciences.
An internationally recognized scholar, Page is an elected foreign member of the Brazilian Academy of Science, a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and an elected member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the oldest scientific academy of science, the Germany Academy of Sciences Leopoldina. He was elected to Leopoldina, founded in 1652, for his pioneering research in behavioral genetics of honey bees.
It promises to be an informative, educational and entertaining meeting in Orlando!

Neonics: Should They Be Banned?
It's a 14-letter word but many people consider it a four-letter word.
Wikipedia defines it as a "a class of neuro-active insecticides chemically similar to nicotine...In the late 2000s some neonicotinoids came under increasing scrutiny over their environmental impacts. The use of neonicotinoids was linked in a range of studies to adverse ecological effects, including honey-bee colony collapse disorder (CCD) and loss of birds due to a reduction in insect populations. Several countries restricted or banned the use of certain neonicotinoids."
"In the U.S., neonicotinoids are currently used on about 95 percent of corn and canola crops, the majority of cotton, sorghum, and sugar beets, and about half of all soybeans," according to Wikipedia. "They are also used on the vast majority of fruit and vegetable crops, including apples, cherries, peaches, oranges, berries, leafy greens, tomatoes, and potatoes. Neonicotinoids are also applied to cereal grains, rice, nuts, and wine grapes. Imidacloprid is effective against sucking insects, some chewing insects, soil insects and is also used to control fleas on domestic animals. It is possibly the most widely used insecticide, both within the neonicotinoids and in the worldwide market."
Neonics, as they're called, will be front center stage in Portland, Ore. at the Entomological Society of America's student debates on Tuesday, Nov. 18. It's the 62nd annual ESA meeting. Distinguished professor Frank Zalom, an integrated pest management specialist in the UC Davis Department of Entomology, serves as president of the 7000-member organization.
Several different topics will be debated. For the debate on neonics, it will be UC Davis graduate students vs. graduate students from Auburn University, Alabama.
For months now, the graduate students have been reading the literature, talking to experts, and setting strategies.
We listened in on a practice debate Thursday night in the third-floor conference room of Briggs Hall, UC Davis Department of Entomology and Nematology. The team is captained by Mohammad-Amir Aghaee of the Larry Godfrey lab, and coached by Michael Parrella, professor and chair of the department. Other team members are Jenny Carlson, Anthony Cornel lab; Margaret "Rei" Scampavia, Neal Williams/Edwin Lewis lab; Ralph Washington Jr., Steve Nadler lab; and Daniel Klittich, Michael Parrella lab.
They scrutinized a PowerPoint, making sure every word was clear and exactly the one they wanted. They searched for more resources, pointing out which scientist published what significant paper and when and where. Extension apicuturist (retired) Eric Mussen of UC Davis was there to assist with his expertise on honey bees and pesticides.
We won't tell you what the strategies are--that would be a "spoiler." Suffice it to say that this controversial topic promises to be lively. The Auburn team, comprised of Olufemi Ajayi, Adekunle Adesanya, Julian Golec, Matt Burrows, Scott Clem and, Z. Ye and advised by David Held, will argue that neonicotinoids are causing the death of bees essential for pollinating our food crops, and will advocate that the use of neonicotinoids should end. UC Davis will take the opposing view.
The 2013 UC Davis team, also captained by Mohammad-Amir Aghaee, won the ESA championship. They hope for a repeat. They're good; they've won every match since 2011 except one.
Aghaee is deeply involved in ESA activities. A participant in the student debates and Linnean Games teams for four years, he also participates in the student 10-minute paper competitions, covering such topics as Lygus bug movements in bush beans, efficacy of Bacillus thuringiensis spp. galleriae against rice water weevil, and preliminary research on winter flooding effectiveness against rice water weevil. Last year he won first place for his winter flood presentation.
Aghaee, whose major professor is Extension entomologist Larry Godfrey, is a fifth year Ph.D. candidate working on rice water weevil (Lissorhoptrus oryzophilus) management in California rice. The majority of Aghaee's dissertation research is dedicated toward developing alternative management options for growers. "I have examined the use of Bacillus thuringiensis spp. galleriae as a biopesticide for rice water weevil and explored the mechanisms of winter flooding rice fields as a cultural control against weevil larvae," Aghaee related. "I am currently examining the possible role of silicon augmentation as a means of increasing rice tolerance to weevil damage and the potential threat of Brown marmorated stinkbug (Halyomorpha halys) to California rice."
A Renaissance kind of guy, Aghaee has secondary interests in post-Renaissance European history and contemporary Middle Eastern politics. He explores some of these themes in his freshman seminar titled "Bugs, Germs, and Steel: A History of Entomology in Warfare" where he and his colleagues teach students how basic scientific research and ecology has influenced human conflicts and technological progress. Outside of entomology, his leisure activities include oil painting, language acquisition, and culinary specialization in Persian and Indo-Pakistani cuisines.
Stay tuned for who won the debate and what they said. Their work will be published in the journal, American Entomologist.

It's All The Buzz
Honey bees will be "all the buzz" next week when the California State Beekeepers' Association (CSBA) meets Nov. 18-20 in Valencia, Calif., and the Entomological Society of America (ESA) meets Nov. 16-19 in Portland, Ore.
Those who belong to both organizations have a decision to make: go to Portland, "The City of Roses," or to Valencia, known as "Awesometown." They're 932 miles apart. Interestingly enough, they have more in common than you think. Both were founded in 1889. CSBA is gathering for its 125th annual meeting while ESA is holding its 62nd annual meeting.
ESA, headed by Frank Zalom, distinguished professor in the UC Davis Department of Entomology and Nematology, will discuss scores of insects, including honey bees. Topics include "Nutrition and the Health and Behavior of Wild and Managed Bees" and "New Frontiers in Honey Bee Health Economics: Incorporating Entomological Research and Knowledge into Economic Assessments."
CSBA, headed by Bill Lewis of the San Fernando Valley, will zero in on safe pollination of almond orchards, urban beekeeping, honey bee forage and nutrition, mead-making, and honey bee health, exacerbated by pests, pesticides, parasites, diseases, malnutrition and stress. Varroa mites continue to be the beekeepers' No. 1 problem.
At the CSBA meeting, Extension apiculturist (retired) Eric Mussen of the UC Davis Department of Entomology and Nematology, who serves as the organization's current apiculturist and parliamentarian (as well as a frequent speaker), will pass the torch--a smoker?--when he introduces the new Extension apiculturist Elina Lastro Nino in a Nov. 20th presentation. It's titled "California Extension Apiculturist--Passing the Torch."
What we need now in California is rain. The drought worries us all. (Listen to what Mussen recently told Capital Public Radio about bees, the lack of floral resources, and the drought.)
And, as if on cue, it rained today. A honey bee in the apiary at the Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. Honey Bee Research Facility ventured from its hive and encountered something it may not have seen before: rain drops.

Where the Bees Are
Last summer we spent many hours capturing images of male long-horned bees, Melissodes aegils, sleeping in clusters on the stems of our guara at night and early morning. (Sometimes they slept inches away from a praying mantis.) Then during the day the boys chased the girls, all the while protecting their turf from prospective suitors and pollinators.
We captured our last seasonal image of a long-horned bee on Sept. 28. It was a Melissodes, all right, but it was Melissodes robustior, a male, as identified by native pollinator specialist Robbin Thorp, emeritus professor of entomology at UC Davis and one of the authors of California Bees and Blooms.
The book, the work of Gordon Frankie, Thorp, Rollin Coville, and Barbara Ertter, all affiliated with UC Berkeley (Thorp received his doctorate there), is a wealth of information about not only bees, but the flowers they visit. (See the UC Davis Department of Entomology and Nematology website.)
Want to know about Melissodes? There are 130 species of Melissodes in the New World, and about 100 of them live in North America. Of that number, 50 species live in California. Who knew? And only three Melissodes species are widespread and common in California, including our robust buddy, Melissodes robustior.
Last summer we watched at least two species of Melissodes attempt to claim all the guara, catmint, oregano, rosemary, Mexican sunflower (Tithonia), Cosmos, and African blue basil, much to the "bee-wilderment" of honey bees, bumble bees, carpenter bees and other pollinators.
The long-horned bees are all gone now, but next year a whole new generation will take their place.

Matadors in the Champagne Bubbles
It's cool how honey bees and syrphid flies gravitate toward the Iceland Poppy.
It's a winter plant, and frankly, there isn't much to eat out there.
The Iceland Poppy (Papaver nudicaule), a bowl-shaped, papery flower, fills the bill.
The name is a misnomer. It's not native to Iceland. It's from the cooler regions of Europe, Asia and North America, and the mountains of Central Asia. Botanists first described it in 1759.
Like all poppies, they're poisonous. In fact, scientists tell us that all parts of poppies are poisonous. That's because they contain toxic alkaloids. This one, P. nudicaule, contains a benzophenanthidine alkaloid, chelidonine.
Nevertheless, it's a unique, delightful plant. Each flower bursts forth from a hairy, leafless stem that curves like a question mark. When a strong gust of wind further punctuates the plant, the petals drop to the ground. Spent. How fragile are the flowers!
Cultivars can be yellow, salmon, pink, orange, rose, cream and white, as well as tri-colored. The ones in our bee garden are Champagne Bubbles, 15-inch plants in yellow, orange, pink, scarlet, apricot and cream.
Some of the other cultivars bear equally enticing names like Flamenco, Wonderland, Party Fun, Illumination, Meadow Pastels, Victory Giants, Oregon Rainbows and Matador.
Today the honey bees and syrphid flies (aka hover flies or flower flies) jockeyed for position, almost engaging in critter combat in a swirl of autumn color, a veritable kaleidoscope of activity.

A little about me...
WOW I am at a time in life when I have finished my job! I have raised my children and I am still fairly young. I love traveling, short or longer trips. Always good to get away with your one and only. I love to go camping, but my bones can't sleep on the ground in a tent anymore. Get family, yours and mine along with the friends together for a bbq. I enjoy making a home a place that you are thankful you can go home to. There are so many things to do, do you want to do them alone?
About the one I'm looking for...
I am looking for a man that I can admire and respect. He must be loyal, kind hearted, respectful, and happy to have someone to be with. He must want to be a part of a family that will welcome him. They are all adults and don't need a daddy, so just being a great man is fine. Must like to camp or try to, shop if you can tuff it out. Go to the Coast, Sierra's, and the Redwoods.
I'd just like to add...
Hopefully he has a sence of humor, or likes a gal with one.
Likes dogs. And likes me.. I am a Christian, so if that is an issue for you sorry.

Once you've created your barn and entered the contest, join the Louisville.com league for a chance to win a to-be determined prize (it'll be a good one and announced shortly, although probably not as sawnky as the Road to the Roses's overall grand prize for all particpants, which includes tickets to the 2012 Kentucky Derby). At the bottom of your stable information you'll find a link to the League Manager section. Select the Join a League tab and add the requested information: Our league identifier is 2713961786 and the activation code is 2124218655. We'll monitor the results and post our league rankings throughout the game.
As for how the contest itself works, Road to the Roses is an easy to play game in which you create your own fantasy stable that you fill with 10 Triple Crown nominated horses of your own choosing, along with your selection of two jockeys and two trainers. Points are awarded for Derby prep races beginning Saturday, Feb. 26 and culminating with the Kentucky Derby. Points vary depending upon the grade of the stakes race and whether your horse finishes first, second, or third.
You can double the points earned for a race when you make your horse a Power Horse. Only five horses can be selected as a Power Horse at any given time and must be selected before a scoring race day. You can otherwise change Power Horses at any time throughout the competition.
You also receive points when your jockey or trainer wins an eligible race regardless of whether or not you have the winning horse. Two supplemental draft stages allow you to add a total of five more horses to your stable. The stable with the most points wins the top prize package which includes tickets to the 2012 Kentucky Derby. Weekly prizes are also awarded. More information and official rules can be found at www.roadtotheroses.com. Make sure you check out the Road to the Roses Facebook page too.
So, while you're waiting to create your NCAA bracket, join in the fun and create your Derby stable!

KODAK, Tenn. - Due to inclement weather and unplayable field conditions, Sunday afternoon's regularly scheduled doubleheader between the Tennessee Smokies and Pensacola Blue Wahoos has been postponed. Sunday's game will be made up as part of a doubleheader tomorrow, April 29 at Noon., which will consist of two (2) seven-inning games.
The teams' regularly scheduled game on Saturday that was postponed has now been cancelled, due to the fact that the Smokies and Blue Wahoos will not play each other again in the 2013 regular season.
Fans with tickets to Sunday's night's game can exchange them for admission to a future Smokies' regular season home game of their choice at the Smokies' ticket office. Fans can contact the Smokies front office at (865) 286-2300 for more information.
Following tomorrow's doubleheader, the Smokies will head to Peal, Miss. to take on the Mississippi Braves in a five-game series.

Digital Content Strategies to Interact with Your AudienceNovember 4th, 2014
Integrated Marketing often means a combination of marketing tactics as part of a specific campaign tied together with a common goal and audience. As consumers become more diverse and sophisticated in how they discover, consume and interact with digital content, it only follows that marketers correspond their efforts to provide a common (yet relevant to the channel) experience for customers.

SWAT 4 The game has great gameplay and the multiplayer is very well to the ways for me this game deserves a 10/10
Aug 26th, 2013 2 people agree 1 person doesn't
Possibly one of the last true tactical shooters to be released.
SWAT 4 is a breathe of fresh air in a day and age of Call of Duty and countless clones trying to follow the leader. Ammo is limited, the enemies are a real danger, team-work and careful coordination and leadership of your team is an asset and a slow and steady pace is required to survive even the first few levels.
The guns, while at times feeling clunky, offer a level of realism in varying environments thriving in detail and atmosphere. Speaking of which, many weapons can be utilized in door-breaching and even non-lethal takedowns (Something that is very rarely used in games, especially FPS's). For an 8 year old game, the graphics themselves are also quite eye-catching!
There were times where I wanted to punch my screen, and other times where I wanted to punch my fist in the air after beating a level. SWAT 4 is a challenging game and is certainly not for everyone, but those looking for a real change from today's FPS's will find a lot of fun in this gem.
Give it a wonderful gander, it's a very rare example of a real tactical shooter :)

Historic schooner Wawona heads for demise
The 111-year-old Wawona was maneuvered Wednesday from South Lake Union to her death at a dry dock on the east side of the lake. The historic schooner was beyond repair because of rot and beetle infestations.
Seattle Times staff reporter
The Wawona didn't give any trouble to the two tugboats that maneuvered the 111-year-old schooner Wednesday from South Lake Union to her death at a dry dock on the east side of the lake.
The historic ship, patched up with plywood for the 40-minute voyage, glided silently to her fate, almost like an old dog being taken on that last trip to the vet.
The elements cooperated, too, and as the iconic ship began moving at about 8:15 a.m., there was no wind, no rain, and the water looked like a mirror.
"I call it, 'death with dignity,' " said Kay Bullitt, 84, the venerable Seattle civic activist who had come to the dock to bid goodbye to the Wawona.
In 1963, after reading an article in this paper about the Wawona — then already deteriorating — Bullitt began the effort to save the ship.
Since then, 46 years have gone by, with thousands of volunteer hours and numerous fundraising efforts. The ship, in 1970, was the first vessel to be placed on the National Register of Historic Places. In 1977, the Wawona was designated an official Seattle landmark.
Through all those decades, there was always plenty of enthusiasm from a small core of the Wawona's fans but never enough money.
In the mid-1960s, Bullitt said, a dry dock estimate to completely repair the Wawona was $75,000, about $500,000 in today's dollars.
By 2005, because of water intrusion that was followed by beetle infestation, a full restoration was estimated at $15 million.
And so, said Joe Shickich, president of NW Seaport, the nonprofit that owns the Wawona, the decision was made to demolish her, with portions saved, such as the captain's cabin.
The saved portions will be featured in the new Museum of History & Industry going in at South Lake Union Park.
"It's a bittersweet day, a melancholic day," said Shickich, who was in another boat, following the Wawona to her end. "She's moving to the next stage."
The next stage means that starting Monday, and for at least three weeks, the Wawona will be sawed up at the Lake Union Drydock Company.
Hobie Stebbins, the company's vice president, said that 90 percent to 95 percent of the ship will end up in a landfill.
The sight of the Wawona being tugged away was too much for Seattle author Joe Follansbee to see in person.
After writing his authoritative 2006 book about the Wawona, "Shipbuilders, Sea Captains, and Fishermen," he said, "I feel a personal connection to her. It'd be like watching someone die. I couldn't do it. Saving a few pieces of it is a poor substitute for an intact vessel."
Sister ship left
There were some 200 vessels like the Wawona built in a California shipyard.
With the Wawona gone, the only one left is a sister ship, the C.A. Thayer, moored in San Francisco at a maritime museum park.
Now there are no more opportunities to board the Wawona and imagine its working days.
Launched in September 1897, for 17 years she hauled lumber up and down the Pacific Coast, carrying not only a full load in her hold but on her deck, too.
At 165 feet long, the Wawona looked magnificent, one of the largest three-masted schooners of her day.
She was built of Douglas fir — her backbone made of two 120-foot-long, 1 ½-by-1 ½-foot timbers, all straight grain, with no knots.
The captain's cabin was built especially strong in case lumber broke away on the deck.
In 1914, she became a fishing schooner, going to the dangerous waters of the Bering Sea for cod.
It was grueling work. As many as 10,000 fish a day were salted and carried in her cavernous hold, with the men putting in 12 hours straight dressing the fish.
During World War II, the Wawona was used as a military barge, then later returned to fishing. Its use as a working ship ceased in the late 1940s.
The Wawona, with big holes and rotting planks, might not have been a beautiful lady to some.
But Wednesday, plenty of eyes welled up as she silently went away.

I've typically been a Sandy Alderson supporter. He inherited a series of poor contracts and a team owned by ownership that lacked the ability to invest in the team's future and I've given him leeway. He managed to trade a Carlos Beltran rental for Zack Wheeler which was a coup but since that he's not done much. I gave him a pass on Jose Reyes. Even as Jose Reyes turned into Kevin Plawecki and Matt Reynolds instead of prospects who might be graduating into the majors now. The reason I forgave him is the rationalization that the team wouldn't let him move a lucrative player when they were so desperate for money. This offseason I hoped that he would accomplish more and get the Mets back on track.

Mudras in Odissi
Mudras or Hastas in Odissi Dance are of great importance. With the help of Hasta Mudras a lot of emotions are expressed in the Odissi dance.
Mudras or Hastas, as they are generally called, constitute a characteristic feature of Indian Classical Dances. This is an element which distinguishes Odissi from dance forms in other parts of the world. Interpretative dancing in particular depends largely on these hastas. Mudras are also used in nritta or pure dance but not for any interpretative purpose. They are used for their decorative effect only. In Nrittya or interpretative dance, the hastas serve as a gesture language which endeavours to convey the meaning of the idea to be portrayed. It is said that corresponding to the hastas involved, the emotions and sentiments are also expressed through the eyes.
In Odissi the hastas constitute as essential a part of the technique as in the case of Bharat Natyam and
. It is said that in Odissi dance the total number of hastas is 28 which is same as the number of asamyuta hastas and they are called samyuta or asamyuta according to their usage. The mudras used in Odissi dance can be classed under two groups for convenience, textual and traditional. Of the twenty four asmyuta hastas of the
, twenty are used in Odissi. It is said that of the twenty eight asamyuta hastas of Abhinaya Darpana twenty four are followed in Odissi. In fact in no other classical dance of India such a number of asamyuta hastas are used.
The detailed study of Odissi shows that the mula hastas or basic hand-gestures are more frequent in this dance than in any other classical dance of India. Though Vaishnavite influence is clearly discernible in the abhinaya aspect of Odissi, pure dance predominates the tradition which perhaps evolved from the Buddhist and Shaivite dances prevalent earlier. The Buddhist dances followed Bharata`s code as evident from the sculptures and later writings. In the dance sculptures of Orissa, the Pataka Ardhapataka, Arala, Suchi, Shukachanchu, Alapadma, Ardhachandra, Kapitha, Katakamukha, Hansasya hastas are seen in large number. In the present form of Odissi the Pallava, Keshabandha, Karihasta and Latarabya Nritta Hastas of the Natya Sastras are often used. Pataka, Tripataka, Shikhara Kapitha, Alapadma, Hamsasya, Dola, Puspa, Suchi and Mayura Hastas are also very commonly used.
Most of the mudras in Odissi are used for abhinaya which is always accompanied by songs composed by the ancient poets of Orissa such as Jayadeva, Upendra Bhanja, Kavisurya Baladeva Ratha, Banamali Das, Gopalkrishna Pattnaik, Dinakrishna and others. Some of the compositions are highly ornamental and the words therefore sometimes convey more than one meaning. Hence different hastas have to be used to convey the meanings of a single word or a line.

I'm trying to unit test the onClick handler of my application. Onclick does a simple search against a REST API, returns the results and updates the UI.
Onclick executes an AsyncTask, the doInBackground queries the REST API and returns the results. The onPostExecute takes the results and assigns a new ListAdapter to the ListView with the data.
The onPostExecute doesn't get called in by the Test Runner since it's on the same UI Thread and blocks the call. There are several patterns for dealing with this. However, if I put the AsyncTask in a Runnable and use the LatchCountdown to wait for the result, I get the CalledFromWrongThread Exception.
Is there a good solution to unit testing an AsyncTask that does UI updates? Or a more testable design that I can implement?

If things do go south, freezer and refrigerators wont work and the heat will start to ruin them faster than the bags allowing any oxygen in.

According to the latest report from our WSS (Smartphones) research service, global smartphone shipments reached 320 million units in the third quarter of 2014. The Android operating system captured a dominant 84 percent global marketshare, squeezing Apple iOS, Microsoft and Blackberry.
Global smartphone shipments grew 27 percent annually from 252.9 million units in Q3 2013 to 320.4 million in Q3 2014. Smartphone growth continues to be driven by robust demand in emerging markets, particularly Asia and Africa Middle East.
Android's domination of global smartphone shipments remained strong in Q3 2014, with an impressive 84 percent of all smartphones now running Google's OS. Android's gain came at the expense of every major rival platform. BlackBerry's global smartphone share has stayed flat at 1 percent in the past year, due to a lackluster range of BB10 devices. Apple iOS lost one point of share to Android because of its limited presence at the lower end of the smartphone market. Microsoft Windows Phone continued to struggle in China and Japan, and its global smartphone marketshare fell from 4 percent in Q3 2013 to 3 percent during Q3 2014.
Android's leadership of the global smartphone market looks unbeatable at the moment. Its low-cost services and user-friendly software remain attractive to hardware makers, operators and consumers worldwide. However, challenges are emerging for Google. The Android platform is getting overcrowded with hundreds of hardware brands, Android smartphone prices are falling worldwide, and few Android device vendors make profits.

Global Smartphone Operating System Shipments (Millions of Units)

Global Smartphone Operating System Marketshare %
Total Growth Year-over-Year %
Source: Strategy Analytics
[1] Numbers are rounded.
According to a new report from our WSS (Smartphones) research servcice, Apple shipped 39 million iPhones worldwide in Q3 2014. Its annual shipment growth rate was only +16% and it continues to slow down. However, weaker shipments are being offset by a stronger ASP, which increased for the first time in two years due to a higher mix of expensive iPhone 6 models. More analysis of Apple's pricing can be viewed by clients here.
According to a new report from our Wireless Smartphone Strategies (WSS) service, Blackberry captured 1% smartphone share worldwide in Q3 2014. The company's hardware division is finally on the cusp of returning to profits for the first time in three years. Cost cuts (e.g. outsourcing) and improved BB10 designs -- like the Z3 and Passport models -- are driving the vendor's enhanced performance. Additional analysis can be viewed by clients here.
According to a new report from our Wireless Smartphone Strategies (WSS) service -- Global Smartphone Sales by 17 Technologies : 2007 -2017 -- HSUPA / HSPA+ will be replaced by LTE as the world's most widely used smartphone air-interface technology in 2015.
We forecast 4G technoligy to account for 38% of total global smartphone sales in 2014, rising to 45% in 2015. Moreover, LTE-Advanced will entend into more markets from 2014 onwards.
China will surpass USA to become the largest LTE smartphone market globally in 2014.
According to the latest report from our Wireless Smartphone Strategies (WSS) service: Global Smartphone Sales Forecast for 88 Countries : 2007 to 2020, global smartphone sales will grow +13% in 2015, offseting the slowdown in feature phones.
Asia Pacific will remain the growth driver, accounting for half of global volumes in 2015. China and US will remain the largest smartphone sales countries through 2015. India will surpass the US to become the 2nd larget market by 2019. Central Latin America and Africa Middle East will see strong smartphone growth through 2020 and play a role as a new growth engine for the global market.The world's top 20 countries will account for 8 in 10 of global smartphone volumes in 2015.
According to new research from our Country Share Tracker (CST) service, the Xiaomi Redmi was the world's 4th best-selling smartphone by volume in Q2 2014. The impressive performance (re)confirms how big the China market has become, and how powerful the Chinese brands are becoming (e.g. Huawei, Lenovo, TCL-A, ZTE, etc.). More analysis and data, of global smartphone shipments by MODEL for Q2 2014, can be downloaded by clients here.
As expected, the newly launched Apple iPhone 6 and 6 Plus did NOT contain many surprises, as some features (size and NFC etc.) had already leaked before. However, there are a few things missing that caught the attention of analysts in our WSS (Smartphones) research service:
1. No 32GB version for both models. Now, 64GB has filled the position of 32GB, and Apple futher extended this with a 128GB version. Apple is not the first vendor to launch a 128GB version (e.g. Meizu MX3 128GB), but we believe the cheaper 16GB version will still make up a big chunk of iPhone 6 and 6 Plus volumes. Meanwhile, the 64GB and 128GB models will, of course, help Apple to maintain a higher-pricing position;
2. The rumored sapphire crystal display did not come true with the new iPhones. Instead, Apple adopted it into the Apple Watch, a small-screen device. We suspect manufaturing capacity might be a key reason for Apple not adopting a sapphire display in its new iPhones;
3. Not LTE Cat 6 powered. The iPhone 5 and 5s were powered with LTE Cat 3 chipsets, and some expected new iPhones to have Cat 6, the most advanced 4G chipset, allowing 300Mbps downlink rate. However, it has ended up that the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus only support 150Mbps Cat 4 category;
4. Camera function did not make a major improvement. Since the iPhone 4S, Apple has not significantly enhanced the camera function. The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus still feature an 8-megapixel camera, and it is not supporting 4K video-catpure. Apple is lagging here on these tech specs;
5. China (mainland) is not on the first 9-country list. Different from last year, China is NOT on the first 9-country list at launch. The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus will be available in US, Canada, UK, France, Germany, Australia, Japan, Singapore and Hong Kong on September 19th, 2014. We suspect China clamping down on the iPhone in the government sector may have caused the change. This could become a serious challenge for Apple.
According to our WSS (Smartphones) research service, BlackBerry smartphone shipments fell sharply worldwide during Q2 2014. The Canadian vendor continued to struggle in all regions worldwide. However, cost-cutting and inventory destocking helped BlackBerry to trim its financial losses to the lowest level for over a year. A partnership with Amazon Appstore also improved its services portfolio and there are tentative signs that BlackBerry may finally stabilize in the second half of this year.

At the breakout session today -- in ZTE's annual analyst event in China -- the keywords are online channel and voice interaction.
Like many other Chinese vendors, ZTE has emphasized the critical role that online distribution channels play in branding equity enhancement. For instance, all of its three 4G models recently launched focus on online channels by working with big Chinese e-tailers, such as JD and T-Mall. ZTE targets that 20% of total smartphone sales this year will go via the online channel. Interestingly, offline and online is not completely exclusive. In contrast, as we have seen from Xiaomi, ZTE also tries to leverage online resources to do branding, and blur the boundary between the two to bring more online models to offline channels to generate volumes. For example, it plans to open up over hundreds of Nubia physical stores this year to enhance the penetration into offline channels.
ZTE showcased more voice-recognition usages today, such as voice-print unlocking, voice navigation, etc. ZTE claims the voice-recognition rate has improved to over 90% with its own technology by working with Nuance and other technical partners. Moreover, it will adopt more voice-interaction functions by integrating it with ZTE's own UI-MiFavor 3.0 later this year. We like the idea very much, but it remains to be seen how users / consumers will embrace it or not -- the industry might need a more influential American player, such as Apple, to make voice-recognition adoption more widely available.
Something missing today from the session was the topic of LTE-Advanced -- it was not really covered. It is also surprising that ZTE confirmed they will adopt their own chipset mainly in modem products -- rather than their own smartphones -- in the short term, making us suspect it might still need time to improve and optimize the chipset products for cellphones.

New affordable homes scheme opens near Carlisle
Last updated at 10:21, Wednesday, 05 December 2012
A new £1.2 million affordable housing scheme has opened in Cumwhinton near Carlisle.
The development in Peter Road provides eight homes for rent for people who have connections with the village or nearby area.
Quentin Gardens has been built by the Two Castles Housing Association and Esh Group working in partnership as Hadrian Development Solutions.
Part-funded by the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) with support from Carlisle City Council and Cumbria County Council, the development includes four two-bedroom bungalows and four three-bedroom houses. They have been built using energy-efficient features including photovoltaic panels to help reduce bills.
Rob Brittain, property services director at Two Castles Housing Association, said: "Two Castles is committed to delivering high quality, affordable housing across Cumbria.
"We're delighted to have worked with our partners on this scheme, which has delivered a fantastic range of quality energy-efficient homes that will benefit local families in the greatest housing need."
David Halfacre, Chairman of Esh Property Services, said: "These homes are a testimony to the hard work by all who have worked on this project, from the designer to the decorator.
"We wish the residents well as they look forward to Christmas in their new homes."

|James Buescher wins at Kentucky
|Written by Admin
|Friday, 21 September 2012 17:07
It was the fourth career series victory for Buescher, who also won at the track June 28. Parker Kligerman was second, followed by, rookie Ty Dillon, pole-sitter Joey Coulter and Brian Scott.
The race featured seven cautions, including five in the first half totaling 34 laps. One of them involved championship contender Timothy Peters, whose No. 17 Toyota made contact with Max Gresham on lap 55 and went into the wall before being hit by John King as it drifted down onto the track apron.
Rookie Ryan Blaney, who last week became the series' youngest winner at 18, finished 11th.
Only 14 of 36 trucks finished on the lead lap.

John McCain Pokes Fun at Obama, Whoopi on 'The View'

Skip to content, or skip to search.

The ladies grilled him pretty steadily, but he held his own through a mix of boilerplate and jokes.
Can he win California? Can he win over the voters that Republicans usually ignore as if they were Reverend Wright proffering a hug?
Hillary's staffers say it's a miracle that she's not losing in Pennsylvania. Is it defeatist? Or just plain crafty?
The big three were afforded a rare chance to demonstrate (and not just bloviate about) how they'd each make the best commander-in-chief.
Call us cynical, but we guess there's a chance they try to help themselves out politically as well.
If nothing else, it's a morale boost to Clinton staffers who chafed at Penn's presence.
This will be a much-needed photo op for Clinton, who wants to frame the race as being between her and McCain, as the two most distinguished and serious candidates.
Hillary Clinton released another "3 a.m." spot yesterday, this one advertising her ability to handle the economic crisis — and hitting John McCain for not advocating more action.
Hillary's team tries to quickly spin the story that she wooed Bill Richardson by saying "Obama can't win."
Ralph Nader wrote Hillary Clinton an impassioned poem about why she should stay in the race, comparing her position to his own in previous presidential races before Obama even thought of it.
At a NYU Media Talk last night focusing on "Publishing and the Election," Newsweek's Jonathan Alter called Thomas Payne "the original blogger." We bet he didn't have to deal with unending pajama jokes!
At a moment when race is the hot topic of discussion in the Democratic primary, an endorsement by the Hispanic governor of New Mexico has to be a huge boon for Obama. Especially after pundits were on his back for a comment about "typical white people" yesterday.
It was fun for a while imagining what juicy nuggets might be buried in Hillary Clinton's just-released public schedule as First Lady. Something like, "December 20th, 1998: 9 p.m. — Hillary and Bill Have Makeup Sex, Do Not Cuddle." But what really ended up being in the documents?
