Some days ago we posted a very basic introduction about Neo4j. Let's see something more practical today! Let's give our first steps with Neo4j.
First thing we have to do is installing our database. If you use Mac OS, you can easily install the newest Neo4j version with HomeBrew. You need to have JDK 7 in order to see things running fine. Open a terminal and type:
brew update
brew install neo4j
neo4j start
Done!! Wait some minutes for Neo4j installation and after typing "neo4j start" you will have it up and running.
You can do a similar process for Linux or Windows. Or you can download the tar.gz file and do a manually installation process. You can have more information about downloading installing Neo4j here.
After starting Neo4j, you will see a message like this:
Accessing the suggested URL (http://localhost:7474/webadmin/), you will notice a panel with a look and feel similar to this:
You can take a tour for the web interface or check some tutorials.
We will create a sample quickstart Neo4j project to be able to create a Hello World sample. The project is at Github and you can download it here. You will need Maven to run the project.
Neo4j has several ways to run. We have showed you the traditional way to run it. However, it can run into an embedded form into Java applications. We will use this form for our first example. It is pretty fast and simple to use, but be aware that it is not good to use Neo4j embedded in production environments!
Take a look at the project, into the package com.ourdailycodes.neo4j_quickstart.helloworld (if you did not cloned the project from Github, follow this link to observe the classes). You will notice two classes. Let's explain them quickly. The first one and more important is Example.java. It has a main method that starts Embedded Neo4j at the first method line:
GraphDatabaseService graphDb = new GraphDatabaseFactory().newEmbeddedDatabase("database");
This will create an embedded database into a folder called "database".
On the sequence, we start a transaction and create the nodes and relationships. We create two nodes - Pokemon and Trainer, and create a relationship between them. the relationship is declared into the class RelationshipExample.java. There, we defined CAPTURES relationship. After creating the nodes, we set a relationship between them. Then, we "commit" the transaction and shutdown the database.
There are several tools where you can visualise your final graph. One of the is Neoclipse tool, a nice open source tool to have a graphic representation of your graphs. Other graphic tools for Neo4j listed on this Stackoverflow answer.
This is it! Today we have seen a short quickstart about Neo4j: how to install full version and how to start a simple Java project, start embedded version and create nodes and relationships. NOTE: the project on Github will have more codes on other packages; they will be used on further posts to show more Neo4j examples. The examples on other packages different from the one mentioned on the post may not be working perfectly yet. Please be patient and wait for the next posts =)
Thanks for reading!

Peach-Blueberry Cobbler
Fresh peaches and blueberries are baked beneath a fluffy layer of vanilla-cream biscuits. The tops are brushed with heavy cream and sprinkled with sanding sugar for a crispy-sweet crunch. When Martha made this recipe on Martha Bakes episode 301, she omitted the blueberries.
- Servings: 10
Source: Martha Stewart Living, August 2005
- 2 3/4 pounds peaches, halved lengthwise, pitted, and cut into 3/4-inch-thick wedges (about 8 cups)
- 1 cup blueberries, (about 1/2 pint)
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons packed light-brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon finely grated, peeled fresh ginger
- Salt
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, (1 stick), cut into small pieces
- 1 vanilla bean, halved lengthwise
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons heavy cream, plus more for brushing
- Sanding sugar, for sprinkling
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. with racks in upper and lower thirds. Stir together peaches, blueberries, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, the cornstarch, brown sugar, lemon juice, ginger, and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Transfer to a 12-by-8 1/2-inch (2-quart) baking dish; set aside.
Whisk flour, baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1/3 cup granulated sugar in a medium bowl. Cut butter into flour mixture using a pastry blender or 2 knives to form clumps that are no larger than small peas.
Scrape vanilla bean seeds into the cream; stir with a fork to combine. Discard pod. Add cream mixture to flour mixture; stir until a soft, sticky dough forms. Divide dough into 1o equal pieces; arrange over filling. Brush dough with cream, and sprinkle with sanding sugar.
Place a parchment-lined baking sheet on bottom rack of oven to catch juices. Bake cobbler on top rack directly over the baking sheet until topping is golden brown and juices are bubbling, 55 to 70 minutes. If topping is browning too quickly, cover loosely with foil. Let cool on a wire rack 1 hour before serving.

Lots of thanks for this recepie...
When I was made I'm not sure ginger taste will good with the other. But I trust :)
Really, ginger lemon peach and blueberry are the best together . -
Kimberly V 22 Oct, 2012
I made this recipe following the instructions exactly, and loved it! Easy to make and turns out impressively. Everyone enjoyed it.
DPressl2 17 Jul, 2011
Left out the cornstarch so it was syrupy and not thick, the way I like it! Didn't have enough peaches so added more blueberries, and used only turbinado sugar for more flavor. Very tasty fruit pie with rich biscuits. Highly recommend this recipe.
LisaB828 14 Sep, 2010
This is the BEST cobbler you'll ever make (gourmet restaurant quality). I look forward to making this every year as soon as peaches come out. I usually use peaches and raspberries (although other fruit variations work well, too), and I substitute lime zest (from 1 lime) and lime juice instead for lemon juice, and 1 T. vanilla instead of vanilla pods, and 2 t. fresh ginger. I've tried using milk instead of cream (not as good)... splurge on the cream. It is worth the extra calories!
maraschino 23 Aug, 2010
I took this to our block party Saturday evening and it was a hit. Also loved by my Air Force Academy, football player, nephew
ZoeHare 13 Aug, 2010
I had to keep adding flour to the dough as it was way too wet, so it got overmixed, and the tecture suffered. Is the stated amount of flour in the recipi correct?
brandy_p23 22 Jul, 2010
It just came out of the over a few minutes ago and it's already halfway gone! I added a little buttermilk to the top layer because it needed a little more and I ran out of heavy cream, but it turned out delicious! The biscuit was fluffy, yet crisp. The fruit (whick I had my kids pick off the tree) was delicious!
sewthankful 23 Jun, 2010
GREAT cobbler!! Was a big hit. However, next time, I'll add more fruit. Also, I substituted light cream for the heavy since my grocer was out of heavy, and I used a teaspoon of pure vanilla extract instead of the vanilla bean. It came out fine delicious!
neelyohara 10 Aug, 2009
This is an incredible dessert. Thanks to all of the commenters, since I made this based on all of the great reviews.
Copenhagenmama 19 Aug, 2008
This recipe takes full advantage of the explosive flavors of summer... and the biscuit topping was light, just sweet enough, and the perfect complement to the juice released by the fruits... Perfect.
cheetahcat66 13 Aug, 2008
This cobbler is the very best cobbler I have ever had. My 2 sons and husband demolished it in 1 day. They immediately requested this to made again the very next day. Make this one....it is DELICIOUS! The biscuits on top aren't like biscuits but moist delicious semi-dense sweetbread. The dough is a treat by itself before baking and my sons won't stop eating it! Also, it is easy. It graduated into my family heirloom recipe collection....
djones 30 Jul, 2008
Simple and delicious!
Gus-Gus 5 Jul, 2008
I thought this cobbler was excellent! I would suggest using a little more peaches and blueberries and spreading the dough evenly over the filling rather than arranging portions over the top to make sure that there's not too much dough for the amount of fruit in some places. But it's a great recipe! Delicious!

UKBA bans purchase of gift cards by asylum seekers
The UK Border Agency has announced that asylum seekers who receive asylum support under 'section 4' provisions, will not be able to use their Azure pre-payment cards to purchase gift cards. The UKBA became aware that asylum seekers were buying gift cards in supermarkets and then selling them to others for cash. This has meant that supporters could purchase and use them, and in return the asylum seeker could use their cash elsewhere.
Azure cards can be used only in certain supermarkets - principally Sainsburys, Tescos, and Morrisons. This is a problem for many asylum seekers because they might be able to buy things cheaper elsewhere, or they need to buy halal food when there are next to no suppliers of halal food who accept the Azure Card.
Asylum seekers without children would also change their support to cash in order to avoid losing it on Sunday night if they had not spent it.
The Azure Card has also stigmatised asylum seekers who have been refused certain purchases or faced comments from checkout staff - something both the supermarkets and UKBA have been eager to eradicate. Difficulties are also caused because the payment is rejected if the asylum seeker attempts to purchase a basket load that costs even a penny over the ammount credited to the Azure card.
Section 4 support is provided to asylum seekers whose initial application has been unsuccessful, but who are (for instance) either awaiting voluntary return to their country of origin, are pregnant or with a new-born child, or who have a fresh application to stay under consideration. They are treated differently from asylum seekers who are making an initial claim ( those receive cash support).
Despite the intention for section 4 support to be short term, it is not uncommon for refugees to be reliant on it for many months or even years. Only £35 per week per person is paid in support, plus the provision of accommodation - typically sharing a room with another asylum seeker, previously unknown to them. There is no provision for the support to be used for replacement clothes. Many organisations working with refugees have criticized the harsh nature of the life that those on section 4 support lead.

New Century Version (NCV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 The Lord spoke his word to me, saying: | 1 The word of the LORD came to me: |
2 "Human, is the wood of the vine better than the wood of any tree in the forest? | 2 "Son of man, how is the wood of a vine better than that of a branch on any of the trees in the forest? |
3 Can wood be taken from the vine to make anything? Can you use it to make a peg on which to hang something? | 3 Is wood ever taken from it to make anything useful? Do they make pegs from it to hang things on? |
4 If the vine is thrown into the fire for fuel, and the fire burns up both ends and starts to burn the middle, is it useful for anything? | 4 And after it is thrown on the fire as fuel and the fire burns both ends and chars the middle, is it then useful for anything? |
5 When the vine was whole, it couldn't be made into anything. When the fire has burned it completely, it certainly cannot be made into anything." | 5 If it was not useful for anything when it was whole, how much less can it be made into something useful when the fire has burned it and it is charred? |
6 So this is what the Lord God says: "Out of all the trees in the forest, I have given the wood of the vine as fuel for fire. In the same way I have given up the people who live in Jerusalem | 6 "Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: As I have given the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest as fuel for the fire, so will I treat the people living in Jerusalem. |
7 and will turn against them. Although they came through one fire, fire will still destroy them. When I turn against them, you will know that I am the Lord. | 7 I will set my face against them. Although they have come out of the fire, the fire will yet consume them. And when I set my face against them, you will know that I am the LORD. |
8 So I will make the land empty, because the people have not been loyal, says the Lord God." | 8 I will make the land desolate because they have been unfaithful, declares the Sovereign LORD." |

A young company with an innovative approach to meet an emerging market trend needs a partner to provide the credibility, capital and business-process expertise to realize its vision. This is the story of Advent International's role in the rapid rise of one of the largest remittance businesses in the U.S.-to-Latin America corridor.
One key to high-growth business success is to identify an emerging, underserved market and then bring a unique approach to meet that burgeoning demand. In October 2000, Advent found a company that was doing just that.The company was DolEx Dollar Express, a Texas-based business serving a growing market of predominantly Latino customers, who send money electronically to beneficiaries in Mexico and other Latin American countries. DolEx recognized that the market for cross-border money transfers was growing and that technology was making electronic remittances a more appealing option. The company also believed in an independent-store model, which ran counter to what the competition was doing, but provided enormous marketing and brand-building opportunities.
"The DolEx-Advent partnership demonstrates what is possible when a smart business concept meets focused, disciplined execution."Diego Serebrisky, Managing Director, Advent International
After acquiring a controlling interest in DolEx, we prepared the company for a period of accelerated growth. First, we worked with the management team to institutionalize controls and governance procedures and then set about aggressively expanding both the number of retail branches and products offered to the market.The result was a 10-fold increase in the branch network in just a few years, positioning DolEx for a successful sale in 2003. Today, it stands as a testament to what is possible when Advent's resources and a company's own strong management talent are applied to a business endeavor.
A plan for growth
DolEx was founded in 1997 when its owners recognized that the cross-border remittance market was both expanding and changing in fundamental ways. It was expanding through significant population growth of immigrant Latinos in the U.S. The market was changing through new technology that was making it easier and less expensive to handle large quantities of transfers electronically. Prior to the mid-1990s, the segment of the Latino population that did not have bank accounts relied largely on slow and risky transfer mechanisms such as mailing money orders or taking physical cash across the border."As promising as the business was, DolEx was having trouble growing. Navigating state licensing procedures and raising capital were becoming impediments to progress. Management recognized it needed the help of an institutional investor to bring the company to the next level."Diego Serebrisky, Managing Director, Advent InternationalDolEx also had a business model that was atypical in the industry. Most of its competitors offered their products through independent agents in separate businesses such as grocery stores. DolEx thought differently. It saw independent, company-owned stores as a tool for greater control of the relationship with customers, for more rapidly adjusting prices based on market conditions, and for providing a better and faster service experience. The store model also allowed increased operational leverage and a platform to test and develop new products and services in a controlled environment.Further, DolEx had built an innovative technology infrastructure that enabled the company to monitor and modify prices at individual branch locations on an intraday basis, as well as maintain accurate and efficient compliance procedures."Yet, as promising as the business was, DolEx was having trouble growing," said Diego Serebrisky, a managing director in Advent's Mexico City office. "Navigating state licensing procedures and raising capital were becoming impediments to progress. Management recognized it needed the help of an institutional investor to bring the company to the next level."The senior partners at Advent in Mexico City knew the DolEx owners from another venture. After sixth months of due diligence and negotiations, a deal was struck giving Advent majority ownership in the company.
Corporate governance and controls
The strategy for DolEx was aggressive growth in both the number of locations and products offered. To do this successfully, the company would first need to strengthen its controls and governance structure. DolEx was still a young company, run informally by its founding investor group. It needed to become more managerially and financially sophisticated.We immediately created a formal board of directors and executive committee to provide oversight and guidance to management as the period of rapid growth began. The board and executive committee would play an active role in all major business activities going forward.Additionally, because DolEx collected a large amount of cash and transferred funds internationally, it had significant exposure to the risk of money laundering, which could threaten the entire enterprise. We brought in Kroll, the global accounting firm, to conduct a comprehensive financial assessment and set up structures of financial oversight.Advent immediately created a formal board of directors and executive committee to provide oversight and guidance to management as the period of rapid growth began.And while aggressive promotions and marketing campaigns would lead to rapid growth, increased sales didn't automatically translate to healthy cash flow. Throughout our ownership, we kept management sharply focused on both EBITDA and cash management.Finally, we opened up important channels to banking and investment institutions to provide DolEx with needed capital and lines of credit. Our expertise also helped the company navigate the complicated world of state regulatory licenses as it began to expand.
Market and product growth
With a proven model, a favorable market environment and first-rate IT infrastructure, Advent and DolEx next focused on growing the business. Branch growth was strategically focused in 15 U.S. states, where nearly 75% of the U.S. Latino population resided. In three years, the number of retail branches mushroomed from 50 to 550.The retail locations opened up numerous opportunities for value-added services. Soon DolEx began offering currency checks, money orders, phone cards and electronic tickets for airlines to its growing base of loyal customers.The lead time to open a branch was two to four weeks. The low upfront capital requirements and monthly fixed operating costs enabled a new DolEx location to achieve profitability in a short period. The branch locations were structured so that they could be closed quickly if they lost economic viability, with limited loss in equipment since most of it could be relocated to other locations. This streamlined process allowed DolEx to open more than 20 branches a month for an extended period, most notably in 2000 when 258 branches were added to the network.In addition to increasing the number of retail locations, Advent helped focus the company on expanding its product offerings. Electronic remittances would remain the core business, but the owned and operated retail locations opened up numerous opportunities for value-added services. Soon DolEx began offering currency checks, money orders, phone cards and electronic tickets for airlines to its growing base of loyal customers.One of the most successful service additions was the Amigo Latino card to facilitate quick and simple transactions for repeat customers. The cards automatically stored information to reduce transaction time, effort and error, which enhanced customer loyalty. The Amigo Latino card also helped those with literacy or communication problems, thereby tapping into another underserved market.
Sale to global leader
The results of these growth and operating initiatives were impressive. During Advent's ownership, revenue increased from $46 million in 2000 to an estimated $72 million in 2003, while EBITDA surged more than fivefold.Having achieved key elements of the company's growth plan and looking to capitalze on its strong performance, Advent and other DolEx investors sought to monetize their investment. In August 2003, they sold the company to Global Payments Inc. (NYSE: GPN), a world leader in payment processing solutions, for approximately $190 million. For Global Payments, the DolEx purchase represented an entry into a new growth market for its core transaction services business.Today, DolEx remains a successful, well-run company with over 700 branches serving millions of consumers each year. The branch model continues to provide a more personalized customer experience, and more than 80% of DolEx's transactions are now made using the Amigo Latino cards.

Your full tour is ready to resume
The ultimate untouched paradise
Tiny Mystery Island is remote and hard to reach (except via cruise ships) which means the island has remained virtually untouched. There are no tourism developments, no roads, no shops and absolutely no stress.
This small, uninhabited island is one of the most southern of the Vanuatu group and was once used as a World War II landing strip for the allied forces.
Locals from a nearby island will come to sell trinkets and you can spend your day relaxing on the sand while a band of locals play songs of welcome. The surrounding reefs offer great snorkelling opportunities or you can take a leisurely stroll around the island (Mystery Island is so small it will only take you about 40 minutes!)
To take advantage of our fantastic low cost cruises, book now. Visit your travel agent or call 13 24 94 for Australian bookings or 0800 780 716 for New Zealand bookings.

Perceptions are not always based in reality, and nobody knows this better than me. With the release of my sophomore album, SoL-AngeL & The Hadley Street Dreams (Music World Entertainment/Geffen Records), I am ready to have every listener step into my very personal field of dreams - minus the preconceived notions.
Webster's Dictionary defines "biography" as the written history of someone's life. Well, I figured no one would be able to tell this story better than I could, which is why this won't be a traditional artist bio.
My father once brought me to this piece of land in downtown Houston. He said he was building a compound there for his record label, along with a studio for me to write and record my music. When I looked at this city block, all I could see was this empty lot with an old plantation home in a homeless and drug infested area, but he had a vision and a dream that he held onto and made into reality. This location is now the headquarters for a project he started in the spare bedroom of my childhood home. The name of the street is Hadley St. and this is indeed where I started the making of my album. It was an eye opener and an evolution for me as an artist. I felt the bravery in making music that inspired me and started to pull out my old records from Shuggie Otis, Marvin Gaye, and Otis Redding - artists that had messages and melodies that spoke to me. I experimented with the soul of that type of music by adding subtle electronic influences I picked up along the way from traveling and spending so much time in London and France. I decided that lyrically I would tell my story, with hopes to inspire and most importantly spare no punches in holding back.
If I had to describe the sound of my record, I would like to think that it is as if The Supremes, The Marvelettes, Dusty Springfield and Minnie Riperton were to make the music they did in the 60's and 70's now, with a modern touch.

Tips For Developing An Entrepreneurial Mindset
Entrepreneurs love what they do and they do business with passion. Its a trait. They build companies with so much love for what they do and end up attracting and motivating others to join them on the journey. With the right entrepreneurial mindset, you can achieve whatever you set out to do and accomplish most if not all of your goals and vision. Most entrepreneurs are life long readers and learners. They are always leaning new ways to do things better and maintain the momentum to reach for higher heights. If you don't have the right motivation and drive, you will give up along the way. The entrepreneurial mindset is developed at an early age in life but fortunately, you can develop that mindset to prepare you for the entrepreneurial journey if you are prepared to choose entrepreneurship as a career option. These are some tips to help you build and develop the mindset necessary for the journey ahead.
- One of the key aspects to having an entrepreneurial mindset is to commit to something far bigger and larger than yourself.
- You should be deeply passionate about your pursuit. Your motivation should be more than money.
- You should be prepared to practice delayed gratification. Most great entrepreneurs have gone without comforts and put everything into building their business, so that they can reap their rewards later .
- Do not overextend your resources and get a reputation for poor performance.
- Network constantly on professional sites and at real offline events. When you meet like minded individuals you are bound to stay motivated and encouraged.
- Be prepared to provide information and some free resources to others in exchange for something valuable that can enhance or improve your skills.
- Remember growth is a function of persistence and foresight. Know where your market is headed and get their first .
- The most important characteristics is not being afraid to fail. The ability to bounce back and try again is crucial to your success.
- Work on your network on an ongoing basis. Network is essential and you have to develop and maintain it on an ongoing basis
- Start a business no matter how small. And start it now. There is no better time to start than now.
- Start with the end in mind and keep focused

In his biofabrication talk, Andras Forgacs explains the science behind creating leather and food in a lab and its societal implications. Currently, Earth has a global herd of 60 billion land animals for our food and leather product needs. By 2050, it is estimated that this herd will expand to 100 billion—almost double its size. This is dangerous not only to our environment, but also to public health and food security. This is not ideal for humane reasons, as large groupings of animals can result in disease and provide opportunities for animal abuse.
This biofabrication talk teaches about the use of cells to grow biological products. This is already common practice in the medical field, where tissue and organs like skin are replicated. This same technology can be used humanely and sustainably, and is easily scalable to other industries like food and leather production.
Forgacs considers leather a "gate-way" item, as people are more comfortable wearing a novelty item rather than ingesting it. Biofabricated leather can have all the same characteristics of true leather, since it's made of the same cells. It's possible not only to mimic natural products, but to improve upon them and make them more customizable to fit human needs.
Furthermore, biofabrication is eco-friendly, efficient, humane and allows for endless creativity.

great looking finials but if you are buying more than one set check them all carefully as the colours and patterns vary slightly (due to the crackled design) Also, although it is part of the Mix and Match range the website doesn't list the measurements of all the items so you might find after purchasing that they dont fit eachother!

I'm not confused as to being straight or not...because I know im not.
It's more am I bisexual as opposed to gay?
"If you love someone, tell them for hearts are often broken by words left unspoken"
I put other because I am very attracted to guys, I know I am gay. But then I can look at a girl sometimes that is very pretty and be attracted to her. I don't think that it's a sexual attraction though, more like I would like to be her friend. Let's just put it this way- The way I see a pretty girl is the way a straight girl looks at the same person. There you go
My sexuality is something I do not normaly flaunt.
But just with religion or politics,
if the topic comes up I will jump on it faster than a hott guy.
My genitals and I are in an all out war. We hate each other. I would
knife the thing off if it wouldn't kill me, the blood loss that is. As a result, I'm not sure who I can honestly say I am attracted too. Right now I like to call myself nonsexual.
I only feel confused after straight people, mainly my sister, fuck with my head and make me think that I really don't know who I am. But most of the time I am confident in my sexuality.
~If we were all the same, life would be boring
tell your sis to fuck off, and or become like my sister who is comfortable with my sexuality... and if she doesnt change stab her in the eye with a really hot french fry. and tell her she will have to deal witht this bitch if she fucks with your head again....
IM me anytime, IM- ptzzone15
~We should find a person attractive
because we love them, not because we
are alone~
Seems like they're the ones who are confused and don`t know who you are.
i know i am gay but i dont want to be gay any more so i am fighting it..
Lust Is When You Love What You See. Love Is When You Lust For What's Inside
. I don't really worry about "what I am", after all gay, staight, bi etc. are just names we have made up.- I fall in love with who i fall in love with for who they are not their gender and thats all that really matters. (to me at least)
I'm not sure if I'm more gay than bi, or what, but I figure all that 'sex stuff' will sort itself out in due time. I really spend a lot more energy worrying about the gender I have to live in (and would rather not).

Good move, but go beyond government
The IFS increasing its numbers by recruiting from other government departments is a necessary step. Currently, the IFS is woefully understaffed. With approximately 800 officers across its embassies and headquarters, the world's largest democracy - and one of its most dynamic economies - looks modest before China's foreign service corps, numbering over 6,000. Hence, the IFS push to recruit more is welcome - and must be extended.
It's time the IFS actually starts to recruit expertise from outside the confines of government alone. Adding technocrats to its ranks is fine but representing India at this challenging and exciting phase of its growth involves far more than just scientific knowledge and project implementation skills. This is the time to pull together expertise from the worlds of business, art, culture, social activism and sport. India has a wide range of well-known personalities in these fields, warmly regarded in other countries. Why not use their skills to further Indian interests globally?
Such a move would be absolutely advan-tageous. Another sizeable democracy, America, routinely requests well-known persons from academia, enterprise or community work to join its diplomatic projects. Former Stanford University staffer Condoleezza Rice is an example. Such recruits bring fresh perspective and practical experience. Free from bureaucratic career limitations, the pressures of sycophancy or systemic corruption, they are excellent resources for can-do answers and new enthusiasm. For those quibbling over official custom and protocol - get over it. Foreign service in the modern world isn't mystic Mandarin-speak where objectives are wrapped up in heavily perfumed, abstruse language and rituals. Foreign service today is sharp, bright, clear and focussed, something a dynamic expert from the real world could pull off as well - if not better - than a trained diplomat.
Diplomacy requires special skills
Tanmay Haldar
The move by the ministry of external affairs, to bring in more technical expertise and recruit officers from different ministries, is wrong-headed. Such a move would bring into the foreign services the ineptitude and the red tape that has been the bane of the Indian bureaucracy. Our diplomats need to be trained professionals. Bringing in people from outside the government is not a good idea either. Academics would have no idea how to push the national interest, while people drawn from the private sector would boost their own companies or businesses. Moreover, such back-door appointments will increase the discretionary powers of the government and only add to nepotism and inefficiency. There would be nothing against, for example, prize foreign postings going to relatives of well-connected politicians.

Gangbanger Call-In II

Posted to: City Hall, Legal Writes
A neighborhood leader took a seat in City Hall Friday afternoon—but rather than representing voters, he was repping the Cream Crew.
The occasion was an unusual use of the aldermanic chambers. Law enforcement officials borrowed the lawmaking chambers to conduct their second "call-in" of young adults believed responsible for much of the street violence in town.
The called-in sat in chairs usually occupied by aldermen, municipal officials, and members of the public waiting to speak out on taxes or youth programs or street design.
Friday afternoon's event was the second call-in of "Project Longevity," a new federal-local effort to stop the shooting on New Haven streets. U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder came to New Haven on Nov. 27 to announce the project's launch. Local cops work with state and federal investigators and prosecutors, as well as local ministers and community leaders and criminal-justice academics, as part of the project. They've identified the two dozen or so neighborhood-based gangs or groups of troublemakers believed to be carrying out the bulk of tit-for-tat shootings in New Haven. Then they've ordered group leaders on parole or probation to attend the call-ins. There, the young men are presented with a choice: Stop shooting, and get help if you want. Or keep shooting, and we will lock up not just you, but all your boys on every offense we can pin on them. One bullet, everybody pays.
Click here to read a full story about the project's launch and philosophy.
Twenty-two alleged gangbangers attended the first of two sessions conducted Friday afternoon. Nine attended the second. They included leaders of somewhat identifiable groups like The Cream Crew, which operates out of the Farnam Courts projects ("The G"). Not all these troublemakers belong to what should be called formal "gangs," officials said.
The called-in heard from Police Chief Dean Esserman and Assistant Chiefs Archie Generoso and Thaddeus Reddish; state and federal officials; Dwight funeral home owner Howard K. Hill; Church On The Rock Pastor Todd Foster; and, among others, city adult education Principal Alicia Caraballo, who lost a son to a murderer's bullet. Click on the play arrow to watch her discuss that experience and the message of the call-ins at the Nov. 27 Eric Holder press conference.
The first call-in in November involved members of the Dwight/Kensington-based Bloods gang and then some of their rivals. Since then, "we haven't developed any proof" that any of those called in have been involved in any shootings, Generoso said Sunday.
Friday's second call-in was a citywide group. The idea was to get the message out to everyone believed to be involved in loosely organized violent activity, through their leaders and messengers, said Generoso.

I know one of journalism's teachings is to catch the reader with the first line.
I take great exception to the opening line of this article. As should all of the law-abiding citizens who reside in the Farnam neighborhood where the "Cream Crew" operates. Bass has bestowed the title of "neighborhood leader" on someone who, in no sense of the phrase, is such. The subject is a leader of a criminal organization. The only people he is leading are criminals. Does he represent and lead the good people of Farnam Court? The criminal element at Farnam Court is FAR outnumbered by non-criminals.
One of the most basic tenets of Community Policing is to respect and seek the support of the people affected by the criminal element, and show them that the P.D. is there to help. Shouldn't the NHI act along similar lines? I know the NHI will defend the first line by claiming this criminal is a "different kind" of "neighborhood leader". But in their attempt to juxtapose a criminal with a neighborhood leader, it came off neither clever nor germane.
As for Genoroso, it would seem that he is a bit quick to claim that Project Longevity's first call-in has been responsible for zero shootings (that they can prove)by those who were called-in. I'm not saying the program does not have a chance to succeed; why not wait for a little more than two months to make that claim? If you only look at the short term with stats, you could make a claim that New Haven is on pace for 100 Homicides, based upon two this past week.

Agree with exNHPD for the most part but it seems like a novel worthwhile try, and these guys are obviously leaders from the bad side of their neighborhoods
Amazed that this potentially great program comes out of Holder's Department under the Obama administration. Would have expected criminal coddling, not a push like this.
Good luck. Hope it succeeds.

So a police department is announcing its full intention to essentially go to any lengths to target others based on an associates actions? Sounds like an interesting plot line for an after school special. I would gather this would open the city up to quite a few lawsuits, seeing these are real people's lives the police department is announcing that they will single out and go after.

But that was because Bush didn't care what we thought. It was August 27, 2005, two days before Hurricane Katrina's New Orleans landfall, and the president had no way of knowing that his levees were about to collapse.
"So why should I cooperate with you? How's your book any different than the others?"
Bush sat behind his desk in the Oval Office, with Dan Bartlett seated to his left, me to his right, and chief of staff Josh Bolten behind us on the couch. It was now a year later, August 2006, and two things had happened since I'd last seen the president at the Crawford catfish fry. The first was that I had spoken to pretty much every senior official in the White House except the president. Karl Rove had sat for about a dozen such sessions—on one occasion, while he was autographing a stack of White House photographs. Dick Cheney had spoken to me for an hour, and then, when I concluded by asking him if we could do a follow-up at some point, he consulted a schedule in his jacket pocket before grunting, "How 'bout three hours from now?" (Cheney was surprisingly voluble, unlike his wife, Lynne, who received me at their sumptuous Naval Observatory home but then seemed affronted by my every question—except for the ones that gave her an opportunity to say what an asshole John Edwards was.) Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings and I conducted one of our sessions over margaritas; Bartlett and I, over enough wine to paralyze a rhinoceros. Josh Bolten quaintly served midafternoon snacks in his office. Condi Rice: cheerfully unforthcoming, but great legs. Colin Powell: sorry, off the record. Deputy chief of staff Joe Hagin: best storyteller in the White House. Harriet Miers: the opposite. (But great legs!) Don Rumsfeld, whom I interviewed in a semi-abandoned Pentagon annex after his resignation: flawless impersonation of Captain Queeg in The Caine Mutiny. (Bush later asked me about the interview, saying, "I'm worried about Don. I hear he's gonna write a settling-scores book. It's not me I'm concerned about—hell, I went out on a limb for the guy!—but others.")
It had taken me twenty months of unglamorous legwork to gain that level of access, and Bush seemed impressed that I had pulled it off without waiting around for his blessing. In the meantime, something else had happened: The president's political capital was badly depleted from Katrina, Iraq, rising gas prices, and other blows to his public standing. His approval rating had plunged into the thirties. The present tense was no longer his domain; it was already evident that our forty-third president would depart office as a deeply unpopular man. Unlike the defiantly ignorant Bush of 1998, this Bush was now reading numerous history books—perhaps taking comfort in how Truman and Churchill had been acquitted over time. And there I was, a fellow Texan who remembered him from back when he was a much admired politician, asking to write the first draft of his presidency's history.
"Fifty years from now," I told him, "no one's going to give a damn what Bob Woodward or Fred Barnes or Ron Suskind or me or anyone else thinks about you. What they'll give a damn about is: Who was that guy, fifty years ago, that basically unsuccessful Midland oilman, who somehow changed the world? Who the hell was he and how the hell did that happen? All I'm trying to do in this book is to capture you. I don't judge you. But I do think I get you. And I think that's the value my book will have."
"Well, let me reflect on it," he finally said.
And reflect he did, for nearly four more months, while soliciting opinions from those he trusted. Bartlett and Mark McKinnon (Bush's media adviser and an old friend of mine from back in Austin) suggested he cooperate. Rove and Laura counseled him not to—the former based on his belief that I belonged to a cabal of Texans who plainly missed the good ol' bipartisan Governor W., the latter out of her customary sense of caution. During a meeting with his speechwriters one afternoon in 2006, Bush suddenly said, "All right, let me see a show of hands. Who thinks I should talk to Draper?"
Finally, in early December, I received a typically terse e-mail from Bartlett: "He'll do one and see how it goes."
The first interview was scheduled for December 12, 2006.
The two of us, plus Bartlett, ate lunch in the small and sunny room adjacent to the Oval Office, where Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky had gotten to know each other. Bush ordered comfort food: a hot dog followed by ice cream. He was in a pissy mood. Earlier that morning, he'd postponed a major address announcing a new strategy in Iraq, for the simple reason that he did not yet know what that strategy would be. "Robert, you can't possibly figure out the history of the Bush presidency—until I'm dead," he began as soon as I sat down. "And I don't presume to figure it out, sir," I said. "That's the right answer," he acknowledged gruffly. "Well, I've been saying all along to people that—" "You've been saying that all along, but you haven't been saying that all along to me." Over the course of that first hour, he talked at length about the trajectory of his political career, about his father ("I don't call him up and say, 'What are the five things you would do if you were me?' "), about Iraq ("I am immersed in this war," he said, looking a thousand years old), about his drinking problem ("I still remember the feeling of a hangover")—and, most expansively, about his leadership style: "I don't know what the fancy word for it is, but I argue a lot. In the process of arguing, I'm really testing the argument. And I listen. And I'm open-minded—much more so than people may think until they look at some of the decisions I've made. I mean, Bartlett plenty of times has come in [to see me]—and it's a test, sometimes because I'm irritable."

Josh April 7, 2014
Ohhhhh these two are the best on the web, and I sincerely think they're true amateurs..... a few drinks, and some serious lovemaking, all filmed so they can enjoy it later.. The chatter seems to upset some folks, but I loved it, and she in particular gave us and impression of what she's feeling... not that she needed it, and the sex was so wonderfully expressive too.. Wow we were treated to a genuine anal virgin losing it, and sharing it with us...WOW !! I'm keeping this video forever.... wonderful.

This couple is great. I hope they're still together. They only prove that real sex is better than all that scripted stuff. Quality far surpasses quantity. She's lucky to have such a tender and considerate partner and one who definitely pleases her and she pleases him. Super couple. Super video.

She has an amazing body, and once she gets going she has beautiful, sensual body movement. However, it is wasted on an artless lover. Whatever his oral skills may be (remember, she had to ask him for it), it doesn't make up for his clueless thrusting immediately after. Just embarrassing on his part.

Teachers at Sykuta Elementary School in Country Club Hills recently received $50 gift cards from Wal-Mart. | Supplied Photo
Updated: January 24, 2013 6:04AM
Wal-Mart recently awarded 20 teachers at Sykuta Elementary School in Country Club Hills $50 Teacher Rewards gift cards. The winning teachers' names were randomly drawn by students.
Wal-Mart donated another $900 in school supplies, which were distributed among Sykuta's classrooms.
"We are here to recognize Sykuta's teachers for the outstanding job they do," said India Allen, co-manager of the Country Club Hills Wal-Mart.
Allen said Wal-Mart awards $90,000 to teachers each year. The funds for the Teacher Rewards cards come from the Wal-Mart Foundation, Allen said.
"We are giving back to the community and thanking the teachers for their hard work and dedication," Allen said.
Teachers who received gift cards include Patricia Cobe, Pamela Duffield, Monica Wilson, Suzanne Borthwick, Kathy Hackney, Roberta Druszkowski, Linda Blacher, Kim Meier-Frasher, Theresa Theus and Latonya Walker.
Other teachers receiving gift cards included Laurie Oliver, Mary Ann Wild, Viola Wiley, Danielle Thomaston, Terri Robinson, Pam Jaeger, Mary Fran Schroeder, Sandra Sebastian, Amy Fuller and Sonya Prince.
"We are pleased to have Wal-Mart as our partner," Sykuta Principal Karen Jones said. "We plan to establish more business and community partnerships that will work with us to ensure that Sykuta's students do well in school."

Others see their professional obligation a different way, owing at least as much to the fighters as to the fans. "You can go to a fight and look at press row and you can see a bunch of middle-aged fat guys cracking jokes about the guys who are putting their lives on the line to entertain people, and that's kind of disgusting," says Hamilton Nolan, a writer for Gawker who also covers boxing for Deadspin and HBO's Inside Boxing. "If you're someone who has some kind of voice, you have a responsibility to take these issues on. They're putting their own health at risk for anybody who's a boxing fan. So the people who watch boxing owe something to them in return for that."
William Nack wrote about boxing for Sports Illustrated for more than 20 years, covering the careers of Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier and writing some of the most eloquent pieces in sports journalism about their struggles in and out of the ring. But by the turn of the millennium, he'd decided to stop covering boxing. "It is a hell of a sport, it's mano-a-mano," he says. "But at the same time, if you have any kind of sensibility, you've got to feel some kind of, not guilt, but misgivings about it. That's probably too weak a word. Maybe guilt is the right word."
He paused. "I never brought fighters together, I only publicized what they were doing. As the years went on, I was second-guessing myself more and more, because I was starting to see quite vividly the deterioration of Muhammad Ali. It's one thing to die in the ring, it's another thing to die quite slowly and in the public eye. Knowing that these guys who have entertained us for years are now walking around on their heels—doesn't that give that you pause?"
For Bishop, Tobin, and others, it certainly has. Bishop wrote one of the most powerful pieces on boxing and its consequences, about Manny Pacquiao's bout with Juan Manuel Marquez on December 8, 2012 in Las Vegas. It was the pair's fourth fight, and was touted as deciding the "Champion of the Decade." Marquez knocked Pacquiao out in the sixth round:
The shot crumpled Pacquiao (54-5-2) to the canvas, right in front of Bob Arum, his promoter, who held his hands out as if he wanted to catch his prized fighter in his arms. Pacquiao's wife, Jinkee, held her face in both hands and cried. It took her husband several minutes to rise, and when he did, his face was bruised under both eyes, which were vacant. He looked lost.
It is said that all boxing writers have one fight they carry with them. The knockout, in its singular fury, made this the fight that Bishop carries with him. Nevertheless, speaking almost a year later, he says, "Is it conflicting? Yeah, it is. Am I going to watch the next fight, and the next one? Yeah.
"I've been to the Tour de France, Wimbledon, the French Open, seven Super Bowls—there's nothing I've been to like a live fight. It's almost intoxicating."
