Report by Adrian Morris
Our speaker tonight, Stephen Butt, took to the stage in the soon-to-be revamped upstairs function room of the Princess Alice (formerly known as the City Darts) public house. The carpets had been ripped out to reveal an authentic wooden floor and part of the wood panelling to the right of the stage had been removed to reveal two sash windows making the venue more roomier and breathable compared to previous meetings.
Stephen has been working in Leicester for many years now and we were to learn that the subject of our talk tonight, Robert James Lees (born in 1849) was also connected with Leicester being brought up in Hinckley just outside the main conurbation. Stephen's interest in Lees was whetted when he was researching that other Whitechapel 1888 phenomenon, Joseph Merrick, (The Elephant Man), who was also brought up in Leicester. These two personalities of the late Victorian era were to collide into Stephen's research when Stephen discovered that an old theatre in Leicester where Joseph Merrick was initially exhibited was now a pawnshop/house-clearance depot. Within this warehouse-type affair Stephen was to discover some old family documents that pertained to the Lees family. Of course, these personal documents should not have been retained by the house clearing firm - but they had been, and so Stephen was able to have access to them and so began a twenty year period of research into Robert Lees. Research, as we were to find out later on in the evening, that was still being conducted!
During Stephen's twenty year research on Lees he could not fail to notice the discernible influence Robert Lees has had on the research into the Whitechapel murderer. Stephen could also not fail to see the irony of his talk to the The Whitechapel Society 1888 - a club based in the Whitechapel area, and the fact that the original 'cast iron' connection between Lees and the Whitechapel murders evolved as the result of the Chicago Sunday-Times Herald's famous article on Lees in 1895 as the result of a story engineered by a Chicago based group calling itself the Whitechapel Club. In a reversal of our motto this article made a legend out of historical facts; or certainly facts that had been tilted obliquely. So began the legend, (Stephen would ultimately conclude as such), that was undoubtedly the life and times of Robert Lees. So much so that on his death in 1931, the very same Chicago article of 1895 would be quoted as an obituary. The writers and researchers of later generations, most notably the late Stephen Knight, but also Peter Underwood , would insure Lees would reach the afterlife, albeit, a literary one. The connection was made and for many years, even to this very day, there is a perception that Robert Lees was actively involved in the pursuit of the Whitechapel murderer and was Queen Victoria's personal medium.
What of the man himself? Stephen was able to elucidate. Lees was born into a very economically volatile time. Despite this, the Lees family were able to find a stable business concern, being mostly publicans. Yet, Lees childhood was blighted by the financial frivolities of his father. This was to be Lees' father's downfall as he was to become estranged from the Lees family ultimately dying in a Liverpool workhouse forgotten by his family. It was this inward economic uncertainty that made for the transient nature of the Lees clan who often found that they had to be geographically mobile to find business ventures that would provide for them. Eventually they moved and established themselves in Birmingham. The Lees family would be responsible for the production of the very first Aston Villa football strip! They obviously knew the concept of flexible specialization before the term was invented.
What schooling Lees had was minimal but a later apprenticeship as a printer in Birmingham would light a life-long literary fire in the young Robert. This can be seen in his later literary output of six novels and other literary pursuits, especially journalism.
When Lees was still relatively young, the family - during a period of economic volatility, ended up moving into a house that had the added bonus of having a very cheap rent. This was in part due to the belief that this house was haunted by the spectre of a murdered child. It was apparently in this house that the young Robert began to realise that he could contact, or at least experience, a spiritual dimension. It must be added that this period in the Victorian era was defined by the growth of psychics and spiritualism.
After Lees got married and had a son; Norman, he began a job on the Manchester Guardian. This obviously meant a move to Manchester because, as the name suggests, the Guardian newspaper originated in Manchester. During this time Lees really does take up his spiritual side by conducting seances. In reality these were dreams Lees had, but a bit of drama here and a darkened room there one could term the event a seance. Coming from a deeply religious family Lees' early psychic inclinations had been a cause for concern for them, but the intervention of a trusted Sunday school teacher had persuaded them to believe that these were in fact a gift from God.
It wasn't long before a noted Victorian spiritualist author, James Burns, began to take notice of the young Robert Lees. According to legend, and Stephen would stress that this is where history becomes legend, Burns apparently sent articles and information concerning the expertise of Lees to the grieving Queen Victoria in the period after Prince Albert's death. Queen Victoria was so impressed that she reciprocated and invited Lees to attend to her spiritualist needs. Eva Lees, Robert's daughter and keeper of his flame, if you like, would aver that these articles by Burns existed. Stephen would make clear that despite detailed investigations through psychic journals of the time, there are no articles of this nature. Victoria's records, it would appear, no longer exist.
The only Royal connection that there does appear to be between Lees and the Royal court is a letter dated 23rd January 1899 sent by the privy office. This communique thanks Lees for sending the Queen a copy of one of his books, Through The Mists. It would also transpire that Lees had sent three other copies to other notable Royals. Essentially, this is the only known link between Lees and Queen Victoria that can be proven and it appears to be a polite acknowledgement for a gift received. It would appear not to be part of a detailed communication by a trusted confidant. Stephen would be inclined to believe that this was a sale's gimmick by Lees. In the event, Lees' alleged connections to the Royal household would be bolstered by the psychic press. So much so that the famed spiritualist, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle took to writing to Lees with no obvious reply.
One canard seemingly dealt with, Stephen turned his attention to another one that has nevertheless exerted enough pressure on some researchers to tend towards authenticity.
Whilst working for the Manchester Guardian, Lees was sent by the head office to London in 1863 to investigate the prospect of expansion by buying up smaller titles. Lees did, however, take up lodgings in Whitechapel. Whilst trying to search for a prospective title or three Lees was approached by the head of a smaller journal in London and offered a job on it. Lees, in an act of almost quixotic folly, accepted and moved his family to Peckham, London and took up the job. It turned out to be folly of a monumental kind for the journal folded and Lees ended up crippled by debt and eventually homeless!
Lees, ever the resourceful man, embarked on a career as a tour guide after a chance visit to Westminster Abbey and an impromptu tour of the Abbey with some American gentlemen. Eventually Lees built up a sound reputation and was able to gain passes to some noted addresses. One of Lees' daughters would claim that this gave him access to the Royal buildings but this seems highly unlikely and there is scant evidence to show this. Yet, Lees was asked to guide people around the less salubrious parts of Metropolis. This vogue for slumming at arm's length affected Lees as he witnessed the poverty of the East End. So affect was he that he would join the efforts of reformers such as Dr. Thomas Barnardo and W. T. Stead. So Lees, it would be safe to say, was well versed in the mores and culture of the denizens of the East End.
So is there any evidence linking Lees to the Whitechapel murder investigation? Yes, and no, it would appear. There are no direct police or press reports of such. The only evidence linking Lees to the 'Autumn of Terror' is an entry in his own diary in October 1888 when he refers to the 'double event', claiming that he went to the relevant locations and could sense something....until the police moved him on thinking him a madman! So much for his alleged help with the investigation. Stephen would say that Lees' diary can still be seen at Stanstead Hall, (new runway permitting), which is the head of the Spiritualist's National Union.
Basically we finish where we started from, the whole genesis of the legend that surrounds Robert James Lees - the 1891 Chicago Sunday-Times Herald article. More than anything, as we have seen, this single article did more to link Robert Lees to the Whitechapel murders and the Royal household than any other facet of his life. So what was this article and were did it get its evidence from?
In 1895 an article appeared in the Chicago Sunday-Times Herald linking Lees to the Whitechapel murder investigation. Mere speculation and bluster one might assume, but the details of Lees' life were absolutely on the button. For instance, they knew that for a concerted period prior to 1886 Lees had abandoned spiritualism altogether - even campaigning against it. Yet, by 1886 Lees had rediscovered it. The article was ascribed to the Whitechapel Club based in Chicago, but the informants must have been from the other side of the Atlantic.
Many names have been mentioned such as W. T. Stead who was known to the Whitechapel Club and had visited Chicago in 1894. Stead was in correspondence with Lees right up until his death on the Titanic in 1912. Stephen would tend to rule Stead out. Who else?
Roman Shaw was a man who knew Lees' sons Norman and Douglas very well and both were in correspondence with Shaw in Chicago in 1894. We can then deduce that the most likely informant was none-other-than Norman Lees talking to Roman Shaw. It must be remembered that Norman was himself a journalist, and as we saw earlier, Lees' kith and kin were not adverse to 'talking up' Lees' reputation. It is also worth remembering that the Chicago article was not the news splash that it has since become. Stephen would remind us that it was not a headliner - it appeared on page 34 amongst mainly adverts! Yet, in Britain it hit big and would set Lees' reputation for good and ill. In its immediate aftermath it would have a discernable toll on the life of Robert James Lees and his current high-minded venture; The People's League.
In the midst of this Chicago inspired 'revelation' Robert James Lees was indulging in the high minded and socialistic endeavour called The People's League. This was based in Peckham High Street, in fact, as Stephen would inform us, some of the League's buildings are still standing. The People's League was rather typical of late 19th century socialist entrepreneurial zeal before the establishment of the welfare state; self help and syndicatism were more widespread in such social ventures. Almost of the Guild socialism of Cole, rather than theoretically based one of Marx, these groups mushroomed in poor areas and nearly always had a strong religious and/or spiritual gravity to them being controlled by a small elite at the top - an elite that often gave it its whole raison d'être. The People's League was no exception. For in 1895, when the ripples caused by the Chicago Sunday-Times Herald article became apparent, the effect on Robert James Lees and the People's League was seismic.
Within a month of the publication of the Chicago article, the once flourishing People's League folded. Lees himself became ill due to the pressure - Lees had always succumbed to psychosomatic illness when such crises hit his life, this was no exception. Despite what conspiracy theorists may have said; that Lees was offered money or threats to disband the People's League, the truth is more obvious and mundane. Always distrustful of committees, Lees was the generalissimo of the People's League. He made it tick. When he stopped, the League stopped. It was as simple as that.
In the immediate wake of the dissolving of the People's League, Lees moved his family of wife and 14 children...(yes, you read right), down to St. Ives in Cornwell. Lees, for the first time is able to purchase a large enough house for his family, and it must have been a fair size, and he is able to escape the pressures that London and his unexpected fame brought with it. Eventually, the Lees clan would make other moves to Ilfacombe and finally back to Leicester.
All throughout his professional life Robert James Lees always seemed to invite some kind of enigmatic dalliance with the Whitechapel murders as well as the court of Queen Victoria. Both, according to the extensive research of Stephen Butt, appear to be wholly down to the 1895 Chicago Sunday-Times Herald article. Despite the vexatious impact of this story on Lees, the simple fact is that most, if not all, of this story originated from within Lees' own family. Even if he had no direct control over this, he did very little to quell these claims. Lees may have been a high-minded, devout Christian socialist, but he was not adverse to flagrant self publicity. The journalist Hugh Mogford, who had become acquainted with Lees just before the Great War, did not feel compelled by anything he had discussed with Lees and his family to set the record straight on the infamous Chicago article when he wrote Robert James Lees' obituary in the Leicester Mercury on the event of Lees' death in 1931. On the contrary, Mogford merely echoed the claims of the Chicago article causing an instant second wave of interest in Lees' supposed involvement in the Whitechapel murder case. This was when the Lees legend became a truly international story infecting later works such as that of Stephen Knight and the film Murder By Decree. Stephen would note that the appearance and performance of the Canadian actor, Donald Sutherland in this film was highly authentic in terms of capturing what Lees must have been like in 1888 - whilst also acknowledging that the story-line was pure fiction.
Stephen would also make known a rather telling communication between Lees' son Claude and the news editor of the Daily Express on 10th March 1931. In it Claude said that he had very little information to give in regard to the fulsome claims that had appeared in the Chicago article.
Like all areas of research into the Whitechapel murders, the wheels keep on rolling. Stephen's research into Robert James Lees and the Lees family is no exception. Stephen, towards the end of his talk, produced a home produced photocopied pamphlet. The title of this pamphlet was; A Letter To Dear Diana, Sandra, Leon and Roger From Auntie Barb. The Auntie Barb in question is the 79 year old granddaughter of Robert James Lees - her mother being Muriel Lees, the youngest daughter of Robert James Lees. She is very frail and in very poor health. The information held within this private document are mainly recollections of the family and are of little concern outside the actual family unit. However, as Stephen would recount, there is held within this pamphlet a passage that is of particular interest to us. What Auntie Barb has to say seems rather shocking. She claims that Lees' youngest daughter, Muriel was fostered as a result of being seized by the police, or some other such state organisation, in a house raid where her real parents were also taken against their will. This 'raid' must have occurred around the time of the 1895 Chicago article as it is inferred from Auntie Barb's account that Robert Lees disbanded the People's League soon after and moved to St. Ives and, with a newly acquired amount of funds, was able to buy a large house in St. Ives and live with his inordinately large brood. Yet, the raid appears to have taken place in the 1880's as Auntie Barb claims that Muriel was not adopted by the Lees family until she was 11 years old. Muriel was apparently 'imprisoned' as an inmate in a hospital. Auntie Barb would claim that there has always been a suspicion within the Lees clan that Muriel was always 'different'.
What are we as Ripperologists and wider historians to make of these claims of a house raid that could have taken place around the time of the Whitechapel murders? WS1888 Society Fundraiser, Liza Hopkinson would note the distinct similarity between the Stephen Knight Royal conspiracy theory of a police raid on the Duke of Clarence's child and its associated theories, and Auntie Barb's exceptional claims! Very interesting - possibly.
Stephen would punctuate the remainder of his talk by claiming that the Auntie Barb pamphlet had only arrived from Australia six weeks before the WS1888 meeting tonight! An act of overwhelming serendipity for us, but for Stephen, he was still to read and evaluate the entire contents of Auntie Barb's claims.
I suppose we can all make our minds up about Auntie Barb's claims one way or the other. Many did on the night. Nevertheless, we are all highly interested in what a member of the Lees family has to say, and with Auntie Barb we wish to know the provenance, if any can be gained, of such a claim.
Can any eyewitness evidence back up the 'raid' that Auntie Barb describes? Well, yes. Well, sort of. Auntie Barb claims that there was an eyewitness to the 'raid' who happened to be walking along the London street where it allegedly occurred. This artist's name? Walter Sickert.
As I said, Stephen's research is still ongoing and he has promised us more information as he gets it. When we do get it you will be the first to know and the WS1888 Journal will be the first to provide it!

Pepsi Center, Denver, CO
DENVER -- The Denver Nuggets began the night without three starters and a backup. They ended it by watching rising star forward Danilo Gallinari hobble out of the Pepsi Center on crutches in a walking boot after a dispiriting 99-90 loss to the Houston Rockets.
"Nervous. Nervous that I'm going to be out for a while," Gallinari said of his reaction to getting hurt in the third quarter, when he stepped on a defender and badly twisted his left ankle.
X-rays revealed a chip fracture of the foot.
"I was surprised," said Gallinari, who will get further medical tests Tuesday to confirm the diagnosis.
"Hopefully, I can recover fast," Gallinari said.
Gallinari, who recently signed a four-year, $42 million deal that makes him the cornerstone of Denver's young nucleus, said the doctors and trainers didn't give him any indication about how long he might be sidelined.
"I have some more scans tomorrow and they will tell me more tomorrow," he said as he made his way slowly to the players parking lot.
Luis Scola scored 25 points and Kyle Lowry added 20 for the Rockets, who handed the Nuggets their third straight loss and fifth defeat in six games.
Chase Budinger had 16 points on the strength of five 3-pointers, his last one giving Houston a seven-point lead with a minute left that sealed the Rockets' fourth road win in 12 tries.
Gallinari had 14 points when he went down with 9:38 left in the third quarter. He was replaced by Rudy Fernandez, who also scored 14 points to top Denver's makeshift lineup.
Gallinari hopped downcourt in pain after stepping on Chandler Parsons' foot, twisting his ankle. Parsons was whistled for the shooting foul and Gallinari stayed in, sank both shots but then waved for the Nuggets to take him out as he hobbled back down the court.
"It's tough," teammate Ty Lawson said. "It's just tough to see him go down. He's a tough player, he normally would get back up from that. You know it's serious when he leaves the game."
Added Nuggets power forward Al Harrington: "It's the season, man. It's the season. It ain't going to stop for nobody. If Gallo's out, somebody else has to step up and fill that hole until he gets back."
The Nuggets were already hurting before tip-off.
Post player Nene (left heel), guard Arron Afflalo (left ankle, right big toe) and center Timofey Mozgov (left ankle) were all out Monday night, along with backup forward Corey Brewer following the death of his father.
"Him going out hurts them badly, especially with all the other guys being out," Rockets coach Kevin McHale said of Gallinari going down. "The injury bug has just bit them in the behind and it's hard."
Despite losing all those players and watching Kosta Koufos foul out, the Nuggets were in it until the end.
"If we would have pulled it out, it would have been an incredible win for us," Nuggets coach George Karl said. "But it's still a very disappointing loss. I mean, no one's going to feel sorry for us except ourselves, and if we feel too sorry for ourselves, we're not going to bounce back.
"It's a loss. On our home court. We can't have many more of them. We've already had five now."
Asked if it's becoming clear that the lockout-shortened season is affecting players' health, Karl said: "I don't think there's any question you could study that and analyze it that way. I know my team was tired tonight. There's no question of the residual effect of the three games in a row."
Karl was also disheartened to learn of former Nuggets star Chauncey Billups' injury Monday night. Billups, a Denver native who recently had a monster game in his first trip back to the Pepsi Center since getting caught up in the Carmelo Anthony trade a year ago, sustained a possible left Achilles injury in the Los Angeles Clippers' 107-102 overtime win at Orlando.
"If it's torn," Karl said, "it will probably be difficult for him to come back."
"The season is taking its toll," said Kenneth Faried, who started for Denver along with fellow rookie Julyan Stone.
The Nuggets hung tough despite the spate of injuries. It was 49-all when Gallinari went down and Houston led by a point heading into the fourth quarter.
The Rockets hit six straight 3-pointers in the second half, three by Budinger. After Lowry's 3 made it 94-86, the Nuggets trimmed it to 94-90 but Harrington missed two foul shots with 1:21 left and Budinger sank a 3 at the other end to make it 97-90.
Scola scored seven points during a 17-8 run Houston used to close out the first half and take a 47-45 lead into the break. The Nuggets had to feel fortunate to be so close after missing all nine of their 3-pointers and turning the ball over 13 times to Houston's four.
"I think we lost the game in the first half and not the second half," Karl said.
Overall, they went 3 for 22 from behind the arc and missed 14 of 33 free throws.
"A combination of missed free throws and missed open 3s and 20 turnovers, it's tough to win a game," Karl said.
Especially with Gallinari in the training room.
"He was a threat to us," Scola said. "He went out and they had to show us different looks. It changed the game, yes."
And, depending on the severity of his injury, maybe the Nuggets' season, too.
Game notes
Houston C Samuel Dalembert was credited with a steal when the ball bounced off his face in the opening minutes. ... Karl said he hopes to have both Nene and Afflalo back for Wednesday night's game against the Dallas Mavericks. ... Houston's leading scorer, Kevin Martin -- held to two points on 1-of-10 shooting in a loss at Minnesota on Saturday -- went 1 for 9 against Denver and finished with eight points.

Nothing can bring people together quite like food. And no one was better at combining food, family and friends than the late Sylvia Woods.
Founder of the historic Harlem soul food restaurant bearing her name, Sylvia was a matriarch in her kitchen and the entire community. She passed away in July after battling Alzheimer's, but her legacy continues to live on as hundreds flock to Lexington and 127th Street for sweet, Southern cooking.
Since opening doors in 1962, the "Queen of Soul" satisfied palettes with cornbread, candied yams, fried chicken, ribs, collard greens, grits, gravy and buttery biscuits. But Sylvia's is—and always has been—more than just a restaurant. As a gathering hole for more than fifty years, everyone from local residents and tourists to celebrities and dignitaries has sat at Sylvia's table.

To mark the famed eatery's 50th Anniversary and remember the woman who started it all, a breakfast block party and community breakfast was served up on Wednesday, Aug. 1. Longtime customers, friends and Sylvia's family all joined in on the festivities. Target, a longtime fan of Sylvia's, was honored to host the celebration, complete with parade, music, games and prizes.
As for the next 50 years? "We're going to take things to the next level," said one of Sylvia's 18 grandchildren, Tren'ness Woods-Black.

Ahmad, Bashar I. and Tarczynski, Andrzej and Al-Ani, Mustafa (2011) A DASP multiband spectrum sensing method based on total random sampling on Grid without replacement. In: 9th International Conference on Sampling Theory and Applications SAMPTA'2011, 02 - 06 May 2011, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.
Full text not available from this repository.
This paper proposes a method that deploys nonuniform sampling and spectral analysis to perform reliable spectrum sensing using sampling rates well below the ones demanded by uniform-sampling-based DSP. It utilizes the Random Sampling on Grid (TRSG) scheme. The statistical characteristics of the endorsed periodogram-type estimator are presented for a finite set of noisy signal samples. Reliability guidelines that ensure the credibility of the detection procedure amid a sought system performance are derived. Unlike a number of previously reported nonuniform sampling schemes e.g. total random sampling, the employed TRSG provides safeguards making it more suitable for implementation in hardware.

Tatted Like Amigos (Remix) Kap-G Feat. Wiz Khalifa & Kirko Bangz
Kap G recruits Wiz Khalifa and Kirko Bangz for the remix to his track "Tatted Like Amigos", which originally featured Chief Keef.
Give Tatted Like Amigos (Remix) a spin - it's a new offering from Kap-G, featuring Wiz Khalifa & Kirko Bangz. It was dropped on Monday, August 5th, 2013. Kap-G's rap artistry continues to improve with every release, something which is most definitely evidenced on Tatted Like Amigos (Remix). His ever-expanding catalogue is definitely better for it, and we're looking forward to the next piece of the puzzle - aren't you?
Hear more of Kap-G on Jose Got Them Tacos, featuring Jeezy. If you're down, make sure to visit Kap-G's profile page for the newest info, news, songs, and mixtapes. Follow Kap-G on Twitter, if you aren't already.
How's the chemistry here? Thoughts?
Quotable Lyrics
"Shouts out to College Park
Those folks get at your neck
Mi amigo is the connect, Comcast internet
Yeah they got that work, straight from Mexico
So get your sharp and call red just like radio
Okay qu� pasa mommy, hit a cart-wheel
She like the way I sling that D, no cartel
Okay qu� pasa holmes. And you don't want problemas"

Cybernet, a self-proclaimed pioneer in all-in-one (AIO) PC technology, begun talking with Intel Asia about using the chipmaker's Cedarview chipset on a medical tablet, and has since used the 1.6GHz Cedarview processor in the CyberMed T10 tablet, a medical-grade Windows tablet which debuted in February at the HIMMS show in Las Vegas.
The tablet offers a 9.7-inch multi-touch capacitive 1024 x 768 resolution display, runs Windows 7 (Cybernet says it will support Windows 8), and features 4G of DDR3 RAM, a HDMI port, dual-facing cameras and an IP65 rated bezel on the front and a IPX1-rated cover on the back, which means that the tablet can be cleaned by liquids.
The T10 tablet is WiFi-connected and also carries FCC, CE and EN60601-1 (third-edition) certifications. The tablet is now available for a price of $999, although we get the impression from the quote section of the website that this may be negotiable depending on quantity.
This is the latest in a line of industry-specific tablets to come to the fore of late. Towards the end of last year, Motorola Solutions launched the retail-friendly ET1 tablet, while UK-maker Avantis launched the education-primed LearnPad at the BETT show in February.
TabTimes has since seen the emergence of the customizable Android tablet from Liquidware, the healthcare tablet being developed by India's former president, and also notes the presence of industry-specific tablet makers like Barco, which offers tablets for everyone from construction workers to healthcare assistants.

ANN ARBOR, MI, USA (July 18, 2013)- Michigan-based tech company Saagara (http://saagara.com) has launched a campaign on the popular crowdfunding site Indiegogo (http://igg.me/at/SeeandDo) to aid in the development of their new app platform See & Do Together. This platform will work in tandem with their upcoming app, Universal Meditation, to allow users to engage in group meditation without actually sharing a physical space. Saagara hopes to use this platform to attain one of their ultimate goals: one million people meditating in unison.
Saagara's goal is to raise $150,000 to fund the completion of this project. They've opted to pursue a crowdfunding approach because it allows current fans and new users alike to play a part in the development process.
Saagara is already in the final development stages for See & Do Together. Though extensive product previews are still forthcoming, the platform has already generated extensive interest: at press time, the platform's Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/SeeAndDoTogether) already has over 140,000 "likes", making it the largest meditation group currently on Facebook. Upon release, the See & Do Together platform will be available on Android, iOS, Mac, PC, and the web.
Saagara is a mobile app developer from Ann Arbor, Michigan. They're best known for their flagship app Pranayama (http://www.saagara.com/apps/pranayama-app), a virtual guide for deep, mindful breathing. Saagara's mission is to improve health by raise consciousness all over the world.

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)World's first electric car - made in 1910, up for auction
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
January 16th, 2013 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) Left by the wayside with the introduction of gas-burning engines, the world's first electric car, the Detroit Electric Model D, first manufactured in 1910 is now expected to fetch $80,000 at auction. While today it looks comical - box-like, and only able to reach 25 miles per hour, the Model D was a precursor of today's popular hybrid cars. LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The Model D shares something in common with today's hybrids. The wobbly, golf buggy contraption had to be recharged every 100 miles, from a giant six-foot battery before every journey.Manufacturing came to an end in the Twenties when the mass production of the petrol car left the Model D in its wake. While the 1910 Detroit Electric Model D cost $2,397 at the time, the equivalent of $135,881 today, modern-day electric cars such as the Nissan Leaf are now priced at around $40,000. In fact, in the early 20th century, electric cars were preferred over the early gas versions as it was simple to operate and was a lot quieter - as is the case with hybrids today. Henry Ford, founder of The Ford Motor Company, bought two Detroit electric cars for his wife Clara for this reason. "Electric cars are all the rage now but Detroit Electric was doing very well with them 100 years ago," Rupert Banner, a car specialist at auctioneers Bonhams says. "The company became the most successful manufacturer of electric cars and this is a very early version of what they produced. They were very popular into the 1920s. "This one still has the same interior it had back then and has been well preserved. It's like stepping back in time. It has been in a museum for a number of years now. "It's a very interesting car and it still has its original transforming unit with it, which is extremely rare. It looks like something you could power an entire grid with these days, it is so big. Once the petrol car came in the days of the Detroit Electric Model were always going to be numbered. "People could go longer distances and there were now no limitations, which especially in a country as big as America made all of the difference. Detroit was unquestionably the most successful at the electric cars though, that is without question." The new owner car will come with its original charger. In recent years, Detroit Electric has been in negotiations with companies in China and Malaysia about reviving the brand. The car will be sold at auction in Scottsdale, Arizona this January 17.

June 27, 2003
Notes from Charles Linn, FAIA, Managing Senior Editor
Whenever Texans take on anything, they do it in a big, big way. The Houston AIAs sandcastle competition is no exception. It has been taking place annually on the beach in Galveston since 1986. Thats when the economy had gone even farther south than the Gulf Coast, and members needed a morale booster in a bad way.
Now the chapter uses the event as a way to reach out to the local community, and as a fundraiser. It attracts tens of thousands of people. The temporary work shanties stretched along the Gulf for almost three-quarters of a mile as 83 teams competed for the coveted Golden Bucket, and Silver and Bronze Shovel awards.
Architect teams often partner with contractors, who provide the heavy equipment needed to sculpt the gritty objets dart. No front-loaders are allowed, but the tools of the trade may include water large pumps, heavy plywood forms, and gasoline-powered soil compactors. Sand is loaded into the forms, watered down, and compressed into large blocks and cylinders.
Then, competitors race to mold these basic shapes into elaborate forms. The secret to great sandcastle building is in the sand. Theres a small amount of clay in the sand here. Add just the right amount of water and voila! The particles cling to each other together so tightly the sand even gains some tensile strength. Thats the property you need if youre going to create shapes that need to cantileverthe nose on a face, for example. Then, contestants race around their statues wetting them with garden sprayers, hoping to stave off collapse at least until the judges arrive for inspection.
Houston architects seem predisposed toward sculpting shapes inspired by atrocious puns. One featured a monster-sized chicken perched on a nest, entitled, Hatch me if you can. Get it? Others featured replicas of characters like Homer Simpson; and still others, well-known architectural monuments, like the Parthenon. There were even a few traditional sandcastles.
This years Golden Bucket was awarded to EE Reed Construction and Spencer Partnership Architecture for their work, Pre-Cast-L. Lions, Tigers and Sand, Oh My, won a Silver Shovel for David Suplee Architectural Illustrators, and Ray Hollington Architects picked up the Bronze Shovel for Full Bleed.

Meet some lesser-known women who have worked in her shadow, taking bold steps toward a more just country.
Aung San Suu Kyi will be in Norway this weekend to receive the Nobel Peace Prize that was awarded to her in 1991 during her many years of imprisonment and house arrest by Myanmar's military junta. When she is handed the award and delivers her acceptance speech, it will be a crowning moment for a dissident who continues to attract worldwide attention as a global symbol of resistance, courage and hope. And yet, while The Lady, as she is fondly known in Myanmar, dominates the headlines, there are many women in Myanmar who have worked in her shadow and taken similarly bold steps – often at great risk to themselves and their families – to work for a better, more just country.
The contributions of Aung San Suu Kyi and these many other women who have worked for justice prove all the more remarkable because of Myanmar's dearth of women in leadership positions across virtually every sector; traditional cultures that have encouraged women to be inconspicuous wives who focus on taking care of the home and children; and the impact of decades of conflict and poverty on women's wellbeing.
In the first part of this Special Report, GlobalPost's Hanna Ingber returns to Myanmar, also known as Burma, where she lived for a year under the harsh rule of the military junta, and brings us the stories of women the world has not seen nor celebrated, but who have worked quietly and persistently toward change.
YANGON, Myanmar – Zin Mar Aung's friends told her not to get involved.
Everyone reminded her that if you joined the student protests breaking out in Yangon, you could face serious consequences. The army had beaten, arrested and even gunned down thousands of members of a previous generation of students during nationwide protests in 1988.
"She is my daughter, but I did not own her – our country owns her."~Aung Kyi, father of Zin Mar Aung
So when Zin Mar Aung along with hundreds of students decided to take to the streets in 1996, demanding the freedom to form student unions and release of jailed student activists, she knew she may have to pay a price. And she did.
In 1998, the military arrested her at the age of 22, and she endured 11 years in a filthy, bug-infested prison. But as soon as she was released in 2009, she began her pro-democracy work again, determined to do her part to resist the oppression of the military junta that had taken control of the country. It is work that she continues to this day.
At age of 36, she distributes relief to women and children who have fled fighting between the Myanmar army and Kachin rebels. She also works with other former female political prisoners to help them adjust to society. And she is learning how to properly monitor elections.
Zin Mar Aung is one of the many quiet voices of women who fought long and hard for justice in Myanmar.
More from GlobalPost: Suu Kyi warns against 'reckless optimism' over Myanmar reforms
And women, as many rights activists and political observers point out, have paid a disproportionately high price in this fight for democracy while they toiled under a half-century of rule by a male-dominated, repressive military. Consider:
*Human rights organizations say that rape by the military has been a persistent reality against ethnic women across different conflict areas for decades. Both Human Rights Watch and Kachin Women's Association Thailand recently put out reports accusing the Myanmar army of ongoing abuses and rape in Kachin State, where fighting has raged since last June.
*Mostly women and children fill the internally displaced persons camps created to help those fleeing violence. The past year of fighting in Kachin State has displaced upwards of 75,000 people. Another 140,000 people who fled fighting in eastern Myanmar live in refugee camps in Thailand, and at least 446,000 internally displaced persons live in the eastern border region of Myanmar and Thailand.
*While school enrollment ratios for girls and boys have almost achieved parity, decades of economic mismanagement and high levels of poverty have made girls particularly vulnerable to sex trafficking and exploitation.
*The military government's lack of investment in healthcare for decades has created a health crisis for Myanmar's women. Some midwives in rural areas are responsible for overseeing 40 to 50 villages each. A third of the country's women do not have access to free contraceptives, leading to unwanted and unhealthy pregnancies. In eastern Myanmar, preventable causes like postpartum hemorrhaging and unsafe abortion drive up the maternal mortality rate to 721 deaths per 100,000 live births. In conflicted and internally displaced persons areas, the rate spikes to 1000 to 1200 per 100,000 live births, according to Ibis Reproductive Health.
Cultural conservatism in Myanmar also dissuades women from being empowered leaders.
"Because of the cultural context, women are always behind the man," said Yin Yin Maw, the president of the Myanmar Council of Churches and a gender activist. If women try to move beyond the role of supporting their husband or father and become outspoken, she continued, they often face harassment and criticism.
Despite these difficulties, individual women in Myanmar have been fighting to be heard. And now, as the country embarks on an exciting time of transition, their voices are growing louder.
A slight change in women's involvement has already been seen in parliament. Before the April 1 by-elections, the parliament's 613-filled seats included only 18 women, according to the Inter-Parliamentary Union and UN Women, Myanmar still ranked 135 out of 143 in terms of global female political participation but the by-elections increased the number of women holding seats by a dozen.
More from GlobalPost: Thailand: Aung San Suu Kyi addresses Burmese migrants (VIDEO)
And on June 16 when Aung San Suu Kyi, who herself was elected to parliament, receives her Nobel Prize, she is expected to say — as her son said in accepting the award on her behalf in 1991 and she has said so many times before — that the award is not just for her. She will likely say the Nobel Peace Prize is for all of the men, women and children who sacrificed so much in pursuit of a democratic Myanmar.
She is also likely to offer thanks to women like Zin Mar Aung who put their lives on the line for what they believed in. And to Naw She' Wah, who worked on behalf of the many men and women infected with HIV who were shunned by society and left to die. And Htar Htar, who has worked on a campaign against sexual violence directed at women. They are the stories of three quietly courageous women who are doing their part to help Myanmar move closer to democracy.

While I was in Georgia I did more than just shoot with Arthur. I bought a new (to me) pistol and as the title says this is NOT a conceal carry gun.
This is a Smith & Wesson model 1066 10mm pistol. I guess some folks might be able to conceal it, but I would look like Leslie Nielson in Naked Gun if I ever had to pull it. Well maybe not that bad.
The pistol is a pleasure to shoot. The recoil is very manageable and although the pistol is heavy it is well balanced. I'll be shooting it some more this weekend and I'll give my wife a chance to show me how it is really supposed to shoot. I'll post a more in depth report then.

Hi. I'm Jackie Plant. I'm the Food Director at Woman's Day, and I've got a great kitchen tip for you. You know when it comes to baking, measuring up the flour can be a science, but I'll show you the easiest way to do it. Okay. When it comes to your flour, you really want to aerate it. You gotta stir it because the flour has settled and it's a heavier measurement. So there we go. And then, you can just start scooping. Put it in there. It's all nice and light and fluffy. Do not ever stick your measuring cup into the bag or canister. You're not gonna get the right measurement, and that's key. So, now that I have this all in here, I'm just gonna kind of settle it. Try to get as much into the bag and then I'm ready to go. Time to make brownies. I'm Jackie Plant. Thanks for watching and we'll see you next time.

Red Bull Racing have had a tough ride in the second half of 2008. But that doesnt mean team principal Christian Horner has ever doubted their development path. With one race to go and limited options to enhance their championship position, Horners focus is firmly on 2009, when an unfrozen Renault engine, another Adrian Newey-penned chassis, the highflying Sebastian Vettel and the experienced Mark Webber could provide a winning combination
Q: Christian, Red Bull Racing started the season strongly and it seemed that the team could emerge as the fourth power on the grid. Then the performance slipped a bit. What happened?
Christian Horner: Up until Silverstone everything was on target. We arrived in Silverstone fourth in the championship - we had scored points in every race apart from Melbourne. Since Silverstone we have only scored five points and that is frustrating. It is difficult to put your finger on one thing, but we have been involved in too many accidents and have given away too many points that way. Nothing has gone our way lately. We should have been on the podium in Monza, a freak gearbox problem destroyed our Singapore race (we should have been second). We simply had too many incidents and it has cost us quite dearly.
Q: Red Bull Technology is supplying your team and Toro Rosso. Why is the Newey touch working better for them than for you?
CH: There are two factors. One, for sure, is that STR has done a very good job, as the differences in the chassis are absolutely negligible. And they have an extremely good driver. The driver has done a stunning job in the second half of the season. If you paired Sebastians results together with Marks season the outcome would look pretty good. Sebastian has emerged as a real star and we know that the car that has been developed by Adrian and his team is a good car.
Q: Ending the season seventh in the constructors championship is a bit hard to swallow. How big of a disappointment will that be?
CH: It is very disappointing. David (Coulthard) has unfortunately had a disappointing year. Nothing has gone his way. Before this year hed had only a couple of accidents with Red Bull Racing. I think this year he has had 10 and that has cost us and David very dearly in points. Too often we have been relying on one car and thats been very hard for us. However, we are a team, we work together, and seventh is where we are today. It is not where we want to be and for the future we are really looking forward to working with Sebastian and looking forward with anticipation to 2009.
Q: There are discussions going on to unfreeze the engines. Red Bull Racings engine suppliers Renault are a driving force behind that. Would that help you for next year?
CH: Yes, for sure there are differences in the engines. Renault took the freeze quite literarily. The problem is that to be penalized for five years with an engine that is down on power is impossible for any manufacturer to accept, so the FIA has acted responsibly - they have all the numbers, they have all the information and I am sure they will act appropriately.
Q: Was Sebastian Vettels Monza win damaging for Red Bull Racing, and if so, how?
CH: Not at all. We both belong to the same parent and obviously it was a great result for Red Bull. You must remember that from the 600 people that we are in Milton Keynes, probably 550 have been involved on both cars, and its not just the design. Sebastians Monza win demonstrated that we are on the right path with our development and it will be up to us to capitalize on that in 2009.
Q: David is preparing for a new career and new life outside the race cockpit. Has there been any attempt to move Vettel into his RBR seat early, in the final stages of this season?
CH: David started the season with us and it was always clear that he will end it with the chequered flag in Brazil.
Q: What is your goal for the final race in Brazil? Shanghai was a bit disappointing as Marks good qualifying time was overshadowed by his 10-place relegation for changing his engine.
CH: The goal for the final race is to finish with both cars in the points. It will be Davids last race after a long and successful career and I am sure he and all the team will be pushing hard to come away from Brazil with the best possible result.

Cookie Box Organizer DIY Projects.
Washi tape decorated cord. Cords are one of my biggest pet peeves. we have to bring tons of power cords to run all over the ground when we teach blogshop and they definitely aren't good looking. it's hard when you put so much effort into the looks of an event and then the cords come in and mess with it. in our office, there's cords all over the place too, so we figured we would make them at least look a little better if they have to show…and what's so great about this project is that it's VERY simple and you can customize them to match any room!
CONTINUE READING by clicking below… what you'll need: Felt flowers. Lipsukestega kirjaklambrid. Personalized Pennant Banner. Dreamcatcher. Hemp pendant lamps. Inspired by West Elm's gorgeous Abaca pendant lamps Super talented Heika DeHart strikes again.
These pendant lamps she made of hemp string are genius. Light Fixtures. Do you have an eye sore of a light fixture in your home, or just one that isn't quite sitting well with you? If so, we're in the same boat and we've found some great alternatives to just going to the store and laying down the big bucks. These DIY light fixtures are not only extremely easy, but very cost efficient which is important to many of us in this delicate economy. A great way to spruce up an inexpensive pendant lamp from IKEA is to simply add pieces of Felt — Kate from design*sponge thought of this idea and the end result is really quite amazing.
She bought a few sheets of felt from a local craft store and cut them into small circles, found her old hot glue gun and started gluing away. Bottle Lamp DIY Projects. Dinosaurustega purgid. Round bottomed buckets. I love seeing fabric around the house, and I love making useful things out of fabric.
Luckily these round bottomed storage buckets hit both points! Max seems to be amassing lots of collections of various types of toys these days, and as much as I try to keep them all organized, somehow I'm still always tripping over a matchbox car or lego piece. But I'm hoping that having places to put these toys will lessen the number of times this happens (a girl can hope, right?). Of course, toys aren't the only thing you could store here – they'd also be good for knitting supplies, fabric scraps, hats & mittens, um… a pretty covering for a potted plant? Whatever you want!
DIY Pouf. Cheap&chic pet bed. If you have a dog, you know all about rainy days, muddy days, chewy days, leaky days, dusty days, found a bone-or-dead-creature-and-having-fun days... do you need more "exhibit XY days"?
There's plenty of traces in their beds, usually...Our beloved doggies can be quite messy.Well, for sure mine are. ... Lucky has everything blue to be color-matched to her blue eye... Like this bed, for example :) She loves it: it's comfortable, easy to wash and, of course, since you pick, can be matched with every decor in your home (and/or any color scheme you are into (and therefore your dog, duh.)).

Apparently June was National Make a Will Month – who knew? Just because you missed out doesn't mean it's too late to declare your intentions and designate your assets to specific inheritors.
Someone as high profile as Bruce Wayne certainly has his last will and testament prepared in the event of his demise. Bruce is a man of considerable means, so he must have all of his affairs in order at any given time, right? We hope so.
That said, here are 10 things you will not hear at the reading of Bruce Wayne's will:
8. The remainder of my estate, of every nature and kind, which I may own at the time of my death, real, personal and mixed, I bequeath to my partner- Selina Kyle, Talia al Ghul, Jezebel Jet, Vicki Vale, or Vesper Fairchild – depending on the continuity in which I perished.
7. In the event that my spouse shall predecease me, I bequeath the remainder of my estate to the young acrobat or any youth of otherwise comparable background that currently resides at Wayne Manor.
6. I hereby leave Alfred Pennyworth this gift card to an Italian Cafe.
5. I leave my collection of rare rocks to the Geological Society, with the exception of the glowing green one. Please forward that specimen to The Daily Planet in Metropolis c/o Clark Kent. Package carefully.
4. Please continue to remit payments for alarm services to Oracle Home Security.
3. Among the keepsakes I have won via charity auctions, I leave my giant Lincoln-head penny to the grandson of Joe Coyne.
2. This document is considered null and void if my cause of death is a direct or indirect result of Darkseid's Omega Sanction.
1. In the event that an account of my life is written and converted to a screenplay, in no way is Joel Schumacher permitted to direct the movie adaptation of such.

A recent chain email, forwarded by a friend, has me concerned. The email focuses on a recent episode of "The Dr. Oz Show," in which Dr. Mehmet Oz suggested that radiation from mammograms and dental X-rays could be partly responsible for increasing rates of thyroid cancer. According to the email, thyroid guards are available to protect patients during dental and breast imaging, but are not routinely used. My questions: How serious are these thyroid risks? Should I insist on using a thyroid guard when I have dental X-rays and mammograms?
Q: "I am concerned about some discharge from one of my breasts. If I squeeze the nipple, I get a dark greenish fluid. Sometimes it also occurs spontaneously. I mentioned this during my last physical exam, but my mammogram appeared to be OK. Should I do anything else, or just wait for my next mammogram? If it's nothing to be concerned about, what is causing it?"
If you go to the doctor only when you're sick, you'll miss some powerful opportunities to stay well.

Drama and Music have always played a huge role in the life of King's and, over the 26 years since Dr Walker became Head Master, there have been an incredible 75 productions across Prep and Senior Schools. To celebrate this wonderful theatrical heritage and Dr Walker's time as Head Master, the OR Society has joined forces with the Senior School to produce a Gala Revue to be held in School Hall on the evening of Saturday 30th June 2012. As well as taking the audience on a walk down King's Memory Lane, the event will also raise money for a wonderful local charity – the Medway Cyrenians.However, if the evening is to be as successful as we all wish, we need lots of input from you! The producers - Karen Hebden OR, together with Sixth Formers, Harry Bradley, Lana Williams, Tabby Reynolds and Sam Hall - are hoping that the show will feature ORs and others from some of the 26 years of Dr Walker's headship, touching on highlights of the 75 productions. We are also looking for original contributions to the show in the form of special memories of Dr Walker and of your time at King's to produce a real tapestry of music, laughter and memories.
If you are a current or former Senior School pupil, member of staff, parent or Old Roffensian, then please come and take part in the Gala, either on stage or behind the scenes, helping to recreate short scenes, speeches or songs from recent and past productions. Contributions may be as simple as a solo song or passage from a play, or as complicated as a group scene or musical number. The content of the show will depend on you, your ideas and memories – and your contacts! Rehearsals will also be flexible, mostly taking place in June (after exams for current pupils).
If you would like to take part in any way, or if you have a memory of King's during Dr Walker's 26 years which you would like to have included in the evening, please do get in touch with Karen Hebden, OR, on firstname.lastname@example.com and send your details or your memory. Karen and her team of Senior chool producers, are looking forward to hearing from you as soon as possible! (Please include your name and school dates and distil your memory into 500 words or less! Thank you!)

Sleeping Beauty is a synthetic "cut-and-paste" transposon of the Tc1/mariner class. The Sleeping Beauty transposase (SB) was constructed on the basis of a consensus sequence obtained from an alignment of 12 remnant elements cloned from the genomes of eight different fish species. Transposition of Sleeping Beauty elements has been observed in cultured cells, hepatocytes of adult mice, one-cell mouse embryos, and the germline of mice. SB has potential as a random germline insertional mutagen useful for in vivo gene trapping in mice. Previous work in our lab has demonstrated transposition in the male germline of mice and transmission of novel inserted transposons in offspring. To determine sequence preferences and mutagenicity of SB-mediated transposition, we cloned and analyzed 44 gene-trap transposon insertion sites from a panel of 30 mice. The distribution and sequence content flanking these cloned insertion sites was compared to 44 mock insertion sites randomly selected from the genome. We find that germline SB transposon insertion sites are AT-rich and the sequence ANNTANNT is favored compared to other TA dinucleotides. Local transposition occurs with insertions closely linked to the donor site roughly one-third of the time. We find that approximately 27% of the transposon insertions are in transcription units. Finally, we characterize an embryonic lethal mutation caused by endogenous splicing disruption in mice carrying a particular intron-inserted gene-trap transposon.

I finally got a call on the "Band Wanted" ad I put up in Guitar Center. The people already have the band together with written songs and everything and need a bassist. I was sort of hoping to build a band from the ground up. I'm so willing to try it out, though. It's farther than I wanted from my town, but if they're worth it than it'll at least be better than the commute I had with my previous band.
I think they're shooting for a more modern sound, like I am, so there's a thumbs up. And a bonus: the person who called was a girl. I really wanted to be in a band with at least one other girl, just so I had one of my own kind, you know? Hah, yeah. [The last band I was in was all girls and the girl who sings at the end of "Love Actually" was our singer for a while. No joke. She quit not long before we broke up though due to dedication to movie business.] And the girl kind of sounded gay... =]
I hate getting excited for things before anything is solidified, because I still need to call her back and such. Getting my hopes up can lead to disappointment, and I hate that.
Yay for a) music, b) girls, c) musician girls, d) gay musician girls... you get the picture. Luck with the band ^^
Life is short: make fun of it.
Lol, that's cute
~May the spirits guide your every move...to assure you please her in all the right places XD
hope things work out!

Poor Dominic Dromgoole (Culture, G2, November 28) walking the "Wild West high street" of Oldham on a Saturday night. His lazy assessment of the town contributes to a stereotyping which is just not true. Perhaps he didn't notice the large audience at his play, who somehow manage to negotiate the "skulking gangs of hooded youths" - more than likely members of the youth theatre - not only to watch his brilliant Oxford Stage Company, but also flock to see the varied programme of plays produced by the Coliseum. The Coliseum is building audiences, developing an exciting programme of education and outreach work and is central to Oldham's plans for regeneration. It's a shame that whenever Oldham is mentioned in the national press it's the same old story of a depressed ex-mill town, not its exciting future.

Odor of alcohol
Alcohol' presence can be checked by simply smelling an alcoholic drink. But it is quite interesting that some non alcoholic drinks can also be found smelling like alcoholic drinks. BAC level is unrelated to odor strength and it is indicated by research conducted on this phenomenon.
Alcohol facts in human body
Alcohol is naturally produced in our bodies during metabolism of food and it is quite understandable thing that people who do not drink can have certain quantity of alcohol in their bodies. The phenomenon of production of alcohol in the body is known as Endogenous Ethanol Production (EEP). Once produced this is metabolized by the liver. There are some causes of its production.

Former brieflyweds Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries are at it again -- this time over unreturned wedding gifts.
The former couple were married in August 2011 -- for just 72 days -- and the value of their wedding gifts is estimated to be in the (absolutely nauseating) $100,000 range. And what to do with all those gifts?
Well, Kim's proposal is to make a donation worth twice that amount ($200,000) since any charitable organization would understandably prefer cash over fancy wedding gifts. Kris, though, is outraged that Kardashian has opted to keep the actual gifts instead of returning them to the people who spent money them -- with a source saying, "Kris respects Kim for donating money and is happy she is doing that. He 100 percent thinks that is great, but she should give the gifts back."
