Reasons to Visit Indonesia
Heading up Krakatau is like trekking over Mars and as the guides tell you once you get half way: "No further or our boots melt". The basic nature of camping out on the island is outshone by the fact you will probably be the only people staying overnight and will be sleeping just metres from the ocean in the shadow of a volcano. A beautiful coral reef around one side of the island offers excellent snorkelling and the views over to the peak of the smoking Anak Krakatau are superb.
The most obvious choice for a beach destination in Indonesia would be the island of Bali. Places like Seminyak, Sanur and Jimbiran are idyllic retreats.
Indonesia is scattered with many temples and ancient monuments. Perhaps the most famous is the vast pyramidal structure of Borobudur, considered to be one of Southeast Asia's greatest religious relics. Hundreds of Buddha images stare impassively out over the plains and the detailed galleries and terraces that lead up to its central stupa tell tales of ancient gods and battles.
There is never really a 'bad' time to go to Indonesia and the weather is good during the British summer months unlike many other Southeast Asian destinations. Even during the wet season, the rain won't dampen the enjoyment of your holiday as it falls in short downpours and it means that the scenery around you will be lush and colourful.
Indonesia is home to some incredible wildlife and the national parks in Kalimantan and Sumatra are some of the best places to see it. Trek through jungles, rivers and waterfalls on foot or by elephant to discover the wonders of nature from the orang-utan to the world's largest flower.

Southeast Asia
Lake Toba was formed by volcanic activity some 100,000 years ago, and is one of Sumatra's most spectacular sights. Perhaps the best way to enjoy the scenery around Parapat and Lake Toba is to take a cruise on the lake.
The ultraviolet index is a measure of the risk of skin damage due to exposure to the sun. Be aware that the potential damage caused by the sun varies from person to person as well as by time of day, altitude and several other factors. We recommend contacting your GP for further advice.
Wear sunglasses on bright days; use sunscreen if there is snow on the ground (which reflects UV radiation) or if you have particularly fair skin.
Wear sunglasses and use sunscreen, cover the body with clothing and a hat, and seek shade around midday when the sun is most intense.
Wear sunglasses and use sunscreen having SPF 15 or higher, cover the body with sun protective clothing and a wide-brim hat, and reduce time in the sun from two hours before to three hours after solar noon.
Wear sunscreen, a shirt, sunglasses and a hat. Do not stay out in the sun for too long.
Take all precautions, including: wear sunglasses and use sunscreen, cover the body with a long-sleeved shirt and trousers, wear a very broad hat, and avoid the sun from two hours before to three hours after solar noon.

Exeter first-team coach Rob Edwards was happy that the Grecians ensured their survival courtesy of a 2-0 win over Scunthorpe.
The Iron saw their 28-match unbeaten run ended by Exeter, who guaranteed survival with the win, but Fleetwood's draw with Southend meant Scunthorpe cannot be caught in the race for promotion.
Craig Woodman opened the scoring with a stunning 25-yard strike and Jimmy Keohane wrapped up the win with his long-range shot squirming through the body of goalkeeper Sam Slocombe.
"It was a relief, we have been looking at the league table for a long time and we have been getting closer and closer to it," Edwards said. "It is a great relief to everyone and what a great performance at just the right time.
"The players are frustrated with where we are in the league with the group of players that we have got, the staff know we can all do better, so we will take it from there.
"We have shown flashes of what we can do, but we haven't always played with that intensity and drive. It was a fantastic performance and the players were really on top of their game and determined. We didn't look like conceding and we were together.
"We scored two fantastic goals - with a left foot like that, Craig should be shooting more often and Jimmy showed just what he can do as well. We had chances to win by more as well.
"A lot of people here care about this club, it has been a tough time for everyone and it was last chance for us. We said after Monday it wasn't good enough and the players must do better and they did."

Need some quick help on designing an App for a Uni project
Hey guys,
Our brief is to design a app, not to physcially create it. However we need to take it seriously and think about the development costs and software we will need to design it. Our idea involves food recipes, picking the food you want to use and then the app will give you a recipe that uses them ingredients. My question is, what software will we need to design it for an iPhone aside from Xcode and Photoshop? We will need any backend databases or anything simillar? Can the App be designed entirely using Xcode if we were to choose to go with no images? Any help would be greatly appreicated, thanks guys. |
It would be silly not to go with an sql database for this? Why would you have no images, people are visual. Lots of people would have no interest.
netbeans can be used to write the php scripts you will need. Getting a database is cheap now days. |
For the backend, you could go with something like MySQL, but a simpler option is MongoDB with node.js or Python (in particular, python-eve is awesome for whipping up a Mongo-backed REST API for an app). If you want an administrator to be able to add new ingredients, recipes and images, you'll probably also want to include a simple dashboard with login capabilities. The dashboard can also call into your REST API to view and edit the data. You'll, of course, need a web server for this (nginx or Apache). You can write the code to create your web pages in PHP, Python, Ruby, etc. Lots of choice there. You'll also need to decide on CSS or a variant (less, SASS, Stylus, etc.), templating engine (Jade, Jinja, etc.), web scripting language (Javascript, CoffeeScript, Dart, etc.) You might also want a framework like Twitter Bootstrap. There are many little pieces to think about. Alternatively, this could be done with manual calls to the REST API, but it would not be fun. Last edited by MindJuice; 10-24-2013 at 01:09 AM.. |
Well I guess I see this different than what was listed so far. For a Uni project I suggest a self contained app with no back-end server requirements. For a Uni project this is pretty straight forward and minimize the skill sets needed. The app would have its DB done in Core Data. This keeps you contained to writing Obj-C code for the whole of the project and reduced the skills you would need to have to complete the project. I would replace Photo Shop with GIMP to reduce start up cost if you don't have PS already.
The concept is simple really. A user input area that lets them put one ingredient per line to be used as search terms for a DB look up. The look up would rank results based on the number of requested ingredients that where found and what percentage of the recipes total ingredients that the search terms represented. If you entered 5 ingredients and recipe A has all 5 and it has a total of 20 ingredients it would have a score of 100 and 25 (100 being perfect test results). Recipe B has all 5 ingredients and it has a total of 10 ingredients for a score of 100 and 50. The results list would list Recipe B then Recipe A. Concept could be expanded to allow other scoring areas. But that is the basic idea. Being self contained you could allow the user to add their own recipes to the DB. As it is CoreData based you could back up and keep up to date across devices using iCloud. Probably way more in depth that I needed to go. But you can build a great app for a uni project and not need anything more that XCode and GIMP. While I agree that a centralized DB on a server would be long run a good idea for a commercial product I do not believe the additional effort makes any sense for a uni project. In a pure start up cost situation, you remove a lot of overhead cost for an app that you do not have any market analysis for. The bigger point would be that when you do find the need for a server based DB a good design would allow you to simply point at it. I will explain. The search entered actually searches 3 DB's. The user input recipes DB The default provided recipes DB The server based expanded recipes DB You turn on the last one only when the app's demonstrated it is viable and will support the overhead cost. Until then use regular app updates to expand the default provided recipes DB. Overall this is a progressive design that would allow you to grow the product. As you develop it. Consider for a moment, that the default provided recipes DB will need to be populated at some point. If you use the user input mode to add everything and simple use a hidden developer option to export/email the DB to yourself you could just drop it in as the default provided DB. It is one less interface you have to develop. Hope this gives you some insight in how to go about this in manner that allows you to progress and expand at a reason and controlled pace. |

New York Knicks had Carmelo Anthony to thank for netting the last-gasp free throws that clinched a 89-85 NBA victory over the Detroit Pistons.
It was a fifth straight loss for the Pistons while Raymond Felton scored 12 points and made six assists on his return from injury for the Knicks.
The Miami Heat came from behind to beat the New Orleans Pelicans 107-88, with LeBron James scoring 32 points and Dwyane Wade adding 22. The Heat had trailed by 11 points early in the third quarter.
There was further pain for the injury-plagued Los Angeles Lakers, meanwhile, as the Dallas Mavericks avoided setting their longest home losing streak in 14 years by winning 110-97.
Dirk Nowitzki scored 27 points as the struggling Lakers lost an eighth game in nine.
The Sacramento Kings held off a furious rally from the Portland Trail Blazers to win 123-119 with DeMarcus Cousins scoring 35 points and contributing 13 rebounds.
Cousins and Rudy Gay, who scored 32, helped Sacramento pull 19 points clear at the start of the fourth quarter. It was just as well because a Portland rally brought the visitors within two points in the final minute.
The Golden State Warriors were propelled to a 101-80 win over the Milwaukee Bucks by David Lee, who scored 22 points and added 18 rebounds in what was a 10th straight victory for the Warriors.
Life after Luol Deng, who has been traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers, began with a 92-87 win for the Chicago Bulls as 19 points and 10 rebounds from Taj Gibson proved to be the Phoenix Suns' undoing.
Joakim Noah scored 14 points with DJ Augustin and Jimmy Butler each adding 13 in what was a sixth win in eight games for the Bulls.
Overtime was needed at the FedExForum with Tim Duncan, Marco Belinelli and Kawhi Leonard scoring the points needed to edge the San Antonio Spurs just beyond the Memphis Grizzlies with a 110-108 win.
Randy Foye connected on seven three-pointers to score a season-high 23 points at the Pepsi Center as the Denver Nuggets routed the Boston Celtics 129-98.
There was a career high for Gordon Hayward as the Utah Jazz overcame Kevin Durant's 48-point personal haul to beat Oklahoma City Thunder 112-101.
Hayward scored 37 points for the first time while making five straight jumpers during Utah's fourth straight home win.
Bradley Beal scored 21 points to lead the Washington Wizards to a 97-83 win over the Charlotte Bobcats while Danny Granger matched his season high with 13 points to help the Indiana Pacers edge out the Toronto Raptors 86-79.
Elsewhere, Cleveland ran out 111-93 winners over the Philadelphia 76ers at the Quicken Loans Arena.

What if the Penguins had played like this all season?
I know the Penguins just dropped a big game yesterday against the rival Philadelphia Flyers and more than likely blew their only legitimate shot at claiming home ice advantage in the first round of the playoffs, but the Penguin's have accomplished something remarkable so far under Head Coach Dan Bylsma.
They have turned their disappointing season into a possible playoff berth. Into a possible Finals run if the stars align.
The numbers do not lie. The only team close to matching those numbers are the Detroit Red Wings whose 3.66 G/Game and 2.93 GA/Game offer the only comparison to what could have been.
Many people have differing theories as to why the Penguins have turned their season around so dramatically. One opinion was that Chris Kunitz and Bill Guerin's arrival turned things around and Therrien would have been fine if he had had Kunitz and Guerin to play with.
Another theory was that the players had quit on Therrien and a fresh face was needed behind the bench to jump start the players.
Is the turnaround due to the new aggressive system employed by the first year head coach? Should Therrien have been playing a similar system to take advantage of the speed and skill of the Penguins?
Is the recently found confidence of Marc-Andre Fleury and Jordan Staal the key to the turnaround?
Is it really as simple as good luck started from the filet o' fish commercial?
I like to believe it was a combination of all of these factors (except maybe the filet o' fish) that keyed the Penguin's stunning rally.
Now it would be incredibly difficult for the Penguins to keep up the pace in which they are currently playing but Bylsma is making Shero's job of finding a coach for next season much more interesting.
IHCDB does not like the interim in front of his name. He is doing everything in his power to change his name to HCDB. But has he done enough to warrant his return next season? What does he need to do to drop the interim from his title?

Risk factors for the development of depression in patients with hepatitis C taking interferon-α
Smith KJ, Norris S, O'Farrelly C, O'Mara SM. Neuropsychiatr Dis Treat. 2011;7:275-92. Epub 2011 May 15.
Interferon-α, currently used for the treatment of hepatitis C, is associated with a substantially elevated risk of depression. However, not everyone who takes this drug becomes depressed, so it is important to understand what particular factors may make some individuals more 'at risk' of developing depression than others. Currently there is no consensus as to why interferon-induced depression occurs and the range of putative risk factors is wide and diverse.
The identification of risk factors prior to treatment may allow identification of patients who will become depressed on interferon, allowing the possibility of improved treatment support and rates of treatment adherence. Here, we consolidate and review the literature on risk factors, and we discuss the potential confounds within the research examined in order to better isolate the risk factors that may be important in the development of depression in these patients and which might help predict patients likely to become depressed on treatment.
We suggest that interactions between psychobehavioral, genetic, and biological risk factors are of particular importance in the occurrence of depression in patients with hepatitis C taking interferon-α.

National parks are the pride of America, so as the Yosemite Rim Fire continues to devour acres of Yosemite National Park's western region (160,000 acres in total, as of Tuesday, Aug. 27), the nation understandably watches in fear.

When it comes to increasing access to the great outdoors and bolstering rural economies, the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) is one of the most important and successful tools Americans have.

text: Originally founded in 1960, the Boston Rugby Football Club honors an over 50 year tradition of playing quality rugby in New England and nationally. The BRFC is proud of its past achievements and continually strives to maintain its preeminent status in the 100,000+-member USA Rugby Football Union. In 1996, the coming together of two rugby forces in New England heralded the birth of a new rugby powerhouse in Boston. The Beacon Hill Rugby Club, formed in 1968 by several former BRFC players, rejoined the BRFC to create today's strengthened club. The focus of the Boston Rugby Football Club is to provide an environment that fosters individual player growth and leads to success at all levels. This includes a commitment to a strong coaching staff and providing plenty of challenging rugby for all players. Our Senior side fields two full teams every week while playing in both the premier Elite Cup and USA Rugby Division 1 competitions. Our Under-19 side competes against local and international teams throughout the summer, and we also field an Old Boys side each spring and fall. The Boston Rugby Football Club continues to be a positive contributor to the rugby community, with many members serving on rugby boards and coaching various youth, high school and college teams. New members are always welcome, regardless of prior rugby experience.

The Signficance of the Insignificant
written by Jocelyn Maughan
Jocelyn Maughan | ISBN 9780646438429
Hardback – 96 pages
Member's price: $48.60
Usually ships within 2–11 business days.
Many art students and art teachers gained inspiration and information from Jocelyn Maughan's first book, The Draughtsman's Contract.
This, her second book, shows her extraordinary ability to bring significance to the insignificant.
Jocelyn's sketchbook always accompanies her; she is uncomfortable without a pencil in her hand. Her studio is the train, the public meeting, the work site - anywhere people gather. Some of these sketches were the bases of larger compositions. Initially, however, all were for the pure delight of drawing.
Jocelyn is not trying to solve political or social issues. Her interests are the aesthetic relationships within the work of art and the description of the world around her.

Tad Warfel, the Pennsylvania-born military man, defends the lieutenant colonel. "Mirabile was a brilliant military strategist," he affirms. "He never dictated how to carry out the missions. That was the sole discretion of the platoon leaders." Moreover in fall 2003 Mirabile's battalion was awarded the Combat Infantry Badge, one of the highest honors given to infantrymen.
The real problem was that Camilo lost the will to fight, Warfel contends. "He was scared. We were in the most dangerous city in Iraq. There were always grumblings about the missions we did."
Naugle agrees: "Camilo's casting unfair blame. There was no way to accomplish that mission without closing the streets off."
During the third week of September 2003, Camilo approached Warfel about ending his military service. He pointed out that he had fulfilled his contract four months earlier, and that his U.S. residency was about to expire. By federal law, he said, he should be discharged.
But Warfel didn't approve. Instead he accused Camilo of cowardice and allowed him a two-week leave. Before signing the papers, though, Warfel asked Camilo to pledge he would return. "I remember it like it was yesterday," Warfel says. "He looked me dead in the eyes and promised me he was coming back."
At the time, National Guard soldiers rarely got leave. "Camilo was bumped to the top of the list because he said he was going to take care of his green card issues," says a seething Naugle. "To take that slot away from another soldier and abuse it the way he did is unforgivable."
Camilo jumped on a convoy truck headed for Baghdad International Airport, where he boarded a C-130 transport plane. That was the last time he saw Iraq.
On October 4, 2003, Camilo arrived at Fort Lauderdale International Airport and took a cab to his mother's apartment in Sunny Isles Beach. "When I opened the door and saw him, I just hugged him for as long as I can remember," Castillo says. "I was just so happy to see him in one piece."
The following morning, Camilo saw his daughter for the first time in nine months. "I was scared," Camilo says. "I had changed. I asked myself how could I be a good father knowing I had abused prisoners and killed innocents."
During the next few days Camilo couldn't sleep. There was the Al Asad prison camp, the ambush outside Ar Ramadi, the dead teenager with the grenade, the child standing next to his headless father's body. He didn't want to return. "There were so many issues going through my head," Camilo says. "Even though I had no doubts I was fighting an immoral war, I kept thinking about the guys in my unit. Didn't I have a duty to lead them?"
More than anything, Camilo was afraid of the consequences if he went AWOL. "I was afraid of going to jail," he insists. "I was afraid I would never see my daughter again."
Camilo even feared he would be executed. "I was terrified," he continues. "I felt it would be the end of my life. And I certainly didn't want to be known as a coward."
On October 16, 2003, Camilo was supposed to have been on a plane back to Iraq. Instead he stayed in bed. Within a week, he went underground, traveling to New York City to meet with a soldier's rights organization called Citizen Soldier, where he began to lay the groundwork for his surrender.
Through Citizen Soldier, Camilo met Louis Font, a Puerto Rican West Point graduate who had openly refused to fight in the Vietnam War. Font faced 25 years in prison, and during his one-year trial, he accused Army generals of war crimes against the Vietnamese population. In the end Font was honorably discharged. Font agreed to represent Camilo in his eventual court martial.
On March 15, 2004, on the first anniversary of the Iraq war, Camilo came out of hiding. The former soldier and about ten family members gathered at Peace Abbey in Sherborn, Massachusetts, outside Boston. The 21-year-old countryside retreat was founded by a conscientious objector to the Vietnam War. After a mass, throngs of television and print journalists congregated at the abbey's entrance for a press conference.
Camilo announced that he would apply for conscientious objector status. "It didn't seem like it was a big sacrifice anymore," Camilo says. "There are so many people who are suffering in Iraq; more than 50,000 dead since the invasion. What is one person going to jail if it can make a difference and help end this war? But it took a long time to get that point and say it is not that big a deal if I go to jail."
His father, Carlos Mejía Godoy, who rarely visits the United States, stood nearby. "What my son did was very special," he says. "He did not run away. He didn't disappear. He accepted his fate and took his punishment."
After the press conference concluded, Camilo and Font drove to Hanscom Air Force Base, twenty minutes away, where the ex-staff sergeant surrendered to two military policemen. He was then transported to the National Guard Armory in North Miami. Two days later, Camilo was in Fort Stewart, Georgia preparing for a court martial.
