Objective: Research into the association between parental control over feeding and children's adiposity has produced inconclusive results. Some studies have found parental control to be associated with unhealthy food choices and disordered intake regulation, whereas others have found favorable or null associations between control and adiposity. This study hypothesized that variability in measures of parental feeding could contribute to these discrepancies. Scales from a range of existing parental feeding questionnaires were used together, in the same large sample of children, to examine associations with adiposity.
Research Methods and Procedures: Associations between scores on scales from three published parental feeding questionnaires [Child Feeding Questionnaire (CFQ); Preschooler Feeding Questionnaire (PFQ); and Parental Feeding Style Questionnaire (PFSQ)] and children's BMI z-scores, calculated from measured heights and weights, were examined in a socioeconomically diverse sample of 439 parents and their 3- to 5-year-old children.
Results: Higher scores on CFQ Pressure to Eat and PFQ Pushing the Child to Eat More were significantly associated with lower BMI z-score, while PFSQ Prompting to Eat, CFQ Restriction, PFSQ Instrumental Feeding, and PFSQ Emotional Feeding were unassociated with BMI z-score.
Discussion: These results suggest that parents of leaner children are more likely to encourage their children to eat. Other feeding strategies seemed to have negligible relationships with children's BMI z-scores at this stage. Longitudinal and genetically informed designs are needed to clarify the causal pathways between parental feeding and children's adiposity.

Featurette Explains Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver Powers, Personalities, & Role in Age of Ultron
Is it May 1st yet?
[Mild Age of Ultron spoilers in the vid.] Scarlet Witch's powers, while wide-ranging and varied as to what her "hexes" could accomplish in comics, have been streamlined down to telekinesis and telepathic abilities for the MCU, and this featurette gives another tease of her wielding them along with more information on how she and Quicksilver shape the plot of Age of Ultron.Read More

Avalanches and flash floods played havoc on parts of Afghanistan last month, causing the deaths of over 285 villagers in Panjshir province. The snow and floods destroyed hundreds of homes and forced hundreds of families to turn to their neighbors and aid agencies for food, clothing, and shelter to survive.
The following is Sarnata Reynolds' testimony before the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission hearing on the Human Rights of Stateless People on March 23, 2014. A video of the hearing is available here.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Co-Chairs McGovern and Pitts, and the members of the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission for this opportunity to discuss the lives of stateless persons and the profound suffering they endure because they do not have legal identities.
"When we talk to people in the camps and cities, inside Syria and in Turkey, they say it's ok if we don't have enough food or health care, but it's not ok if we don't have education for our children."
As countries across the globe face more disasters from extreme weather, an upcoming conference in Japan may be key to protect those most vulnerable from the impacts of climate change.
Given the urgent need to act, the public is increasingly focusing on the UN climate change negotiations in Paris in December 2015. Yet much less talked about is another international conference kicking off tomorrow in Japan, the outcome of which could prove vital to protecting our communities and economies from the negative impacts of climate change.
With so many humanitarian crises around the world, priority humanitarian and peacekeeping accounts need increased support from Congress now more than ever. This includes the Migration and Refugee Assistance (MRA) and the International Disaster Assistance (IDA) humanitarian accounts, along with the core peacekeeping accounts including Peacekeeping Operations (PKO) and Contributions for International Peacekeeping (CIPA).
Imagine that your own birth was never officially recorded. Your family members and friends would know you, and know that you exist. You might receive services from local organizations, like the church or the fire department. But what would happen when it's time to enroll in school, get a job, or apply for a driver's license? Now imagine all of this is happening to you in a foreign country. You fled your home because of war. But when it's time to return home with the rest of your family, how could you prove that you belong there?
Prior to Sri Lanka's January 2015 election, it was impossible to turn on the television, look at a newspaper or walk down the street without being bombarded with images of President Mahinda Rajapaksa and his two brothers, Basil and Gothabaya, who between them dominated many of the key Cabinet positions. But the face of Sri Lanka has changed.
About two years ago I secretly met with a dozen stateless Rohingya refugees in a hotel room in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh. They were new arrivals from Rakhine State in Myanmar and had waded through shallow areas of the Naf River on the Bay of Bengal to escape violence and persecution. We met clandestinely because they were afraid that if they were identified as Rohingya, they would be arrested, detained, and sent back to Myanmar. Newspapers worldwide were reporting the expulsion of large numbers of Rohingya, and the refugees knew of others who had been spotted and deported.
"Afghanistan is not hopeless."
In December 2013 South Sudan's capital city, Juba, exploded in violence. Fighting between troops loyal to the ousted vice president Riek Machar and those loyal to President Salva Kiir was followed by a wave of ethnic violence. Members of the Nuer ethnic group, who were seen as sympathizing with the opposition forces, were viciously attacked as neighbors turned against one another. One aid worker living in Juba at the time told RI, "We were looking at a potential genocide."
The village of Pagak lies in Ethiopia's Gambella region on the western border with South Sudan. Pagak essentially exists on both sides of the border, and in better times, people would move from one country to another primarily to meet friends and relatives, engage in trade, or transport livestock.
From the massive migration of an estimated 70,000 unaccompanied children to the U.S. border this past summer to President Barack Obama's recent executive action on immigration reform, issues facing Central America have entered the national spotlight here in the US. The underlying internal displacement trends within Central America have not received as much attention, but are perhaps even more important as they reveal a frightening relationship between gang violence and forced migration within Central America.
South Sudan is continuing to reel from internal conflict that ignited in the capital Juba a little more than a year ago and quickly spread throughout the country. On December 15th, 2013, fighting erupted in Juba between soldiers loyal to former Vice President Riek Machar and those loyal to President Salva Kiir. More than one year on the fighting continues, primarily in Jonglei, Unity, and Upper Nile states in the north.
This month, one of the Democratic Republic of Congo's longest-running conflicts may finally reach an inflection point. After months of political posturing, it appears that the international community will now launch a military offensive against the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR). The Congolese armed forces (FARDC) will be expected to lead the way, supported by the UN peacekeeping mission in the DRC (MONUSCO).
Somali refugees in Nairobi face constant harassment and extortion at the hands of Kenyan security forces. Indeed, they are openly referred to by police as "ATMs." Earlier this year, a Kenyan government directive to move all urban refugees into camps, combined with the launch of a security operation designed to flush out members of the Al Shabab terrorist organization, led to unprecedented levels of abuse. Refugees International documented first-hand accounts of mass police raids, physical abuse, bribery, and inhumane conditions in detention facilities.
"Resettlement cannot replace what refugees have lost or erase what they have endured. But it can renew hope and help restart lives. That can make all the difference."
The very first article of the United Nations Charter states that a key "purpose and principle" of the world body is that of "promoting and encouraging respect for human rights and for fundamental freedoms for all, without distinction as to race, sex, language, or religion." But sadly, the UN has not always lived up to this noble ideal.
A couple of days before Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) hit the Philippines on November 8, 2013, the residents of a small village in the mountains outside Tacloban noticed that the birds were behaving differently and then stopped singing. According to a local newspaper report, the 75 villagers recognized this as a warning and responded by preparing shelters. All of them survived the 250 mile-per-hour winds despite significant damage to their homes, gardens, and trees.
This is the second of two guest posts by journalist Moulid Hujale. To read the first post, click here.
More than 300,000 Somali refugees live in the Dadaab camps of northeastern Kenya. Interestingly, the refugees there are divided among various groups whose intentions to return home depend on the group's main interest in staying the camps.

Fleur's latest novel, Emerald Springs, nearly became all night company again...not because I was in hospital, but because I COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN! Yes, I was so engrossed in it that it barely left my hands unless it was absolutely necessary. In related news, I must apologise to my children and pets for refusing to feed, or even acknowledge them for about 24 hours, but, you know the rules...
With Emerald Springs, Fleur has produced yet another cracking novel with a strong female protagonist, a lot of action and mystery, and a strong focus on relationships, all with the backdrop she knows so well...beautiful rural Australia.
Amelia (Milly) Bennett finishes university with a degree in Commerce and returns to her family property to look after their finances, as well as those of several other farming families in the district. When she lands the job of treasurer of the local rodeo committee, her fierce desire to prove herself results in the most successful rodeo the town has ever seen.
Amelia's triumph is short-lived when she becomes the victim of a terrifying crime, leaving her physically injured and emotionally wrecked. Her devastation intensifies when gossiping locals begin to doubt the innocence of Amelia and her always-broke boyfriend, Paul. Even the rural detective investigating the crime is unconvinced by her story, despite his connection with Amelia's family.
As Amelia struggles to remember exactly what happened, she too begins to suspect everybody around her, including those she loves, and realises she must investigate the events of that fateful night herself....despite the possible danger.
Once again, Fleur has drawn inspiration from her own experiences of rural life in South Australia and Western Australia (and those of her Dad, who really was a rodeo committee treasurer!), and woven a brilliant story that will keep you turning pages. Fleur has the ability to make me see what she is seeing when she writes...I can visualise her settings and characters perfectly. You don't need to be from the country areas Fleur describes to understand the surroundings and the people because she'll help you understand them with her words. (Although I do get excited whenever there are mentions of places I know and I can say "I've been there!" Yes, I know, I'm such a city slicker)
I had the opportunity to catch up with Fleur in Adelaide last night in the midst of her current book tour. She spoke about identities, in particular of women, and how we can often lose ours when we are "someone's wife" or "someone's mother", and how she likes her female characters to grow and strengthen as they discover their own identity. Just as Fleur herself, I believe, has grown and strengthened as an author.
Emerald Springs is Fleur McDonald's best work yet.
And yes, I'll probably say that about the next book too. And the one after that. And the one after that.
Seriously, it's another winner from the Voice of the Outback.
|The beautiful Fleur, me, and Fleur's lovely publicist, Amy
PS. For some strange reason, a nine month old blog post was randomly emailed out last week, probably to all my subscribers. No idea why, I can only think that it was lonely and wanted attention.
This seemed to prompt a few people to unsubscribe for whatever reason. Just know I wasn't spamming you with old crap, there must have been a weird glitch in bloggerland. Or Cateland. Whatever. You have to laugh or you'll go nuts.

This is a part of the "Marieholms Bruk", the last iron factory to be built in the Småland region in Sweden. Taking advantage of the local geography (a sharp hill and a small river that runs the hill all the way from the top to the bottom) Mr. Anders Wingård made this project came true in 1836 in a place where there was only woods at that time. Soon after this Mr. Anders got problems and went bankrupt being forced to seel the factory to the Collén family that built a farm and other facilities in the same place at the same time that improved the factory and added other activities to it such as a sawmill and carpentry. In 1958 this same factory started to manufacture plastic boats but later on in 1987 this activity ended due to many factors.
Today there is a village in this place and the old factory complex still exists but nowadays as a show room, business hotel, museum, chruch among others. The place can also be visited by boat from a more central village called Hillerstorp near train and main national road.

The small red barn on the right got a bit twisted but still it was a lot of work. It made me realize how hard it is to make panoramas with more than 3 photos. It demands a lot of planing and perfect photos both in focus and the position of where I take the shot from. Thanks a lot for the nice words!

Raymond Odierno, the top US commander in Iraq, recently claimed that two senior Iraqi officials who were active in blacklisting Baathist suspects from elections, have ties to Iran. He alleges that Ahmed Chalabi is "influenced by Iran". For his part, Ahmed Chalabi has accused Washington of putting pressure on the commission in charge of vetting electoral candidates. Inside Iraq interviews Ahmed Chalabi and explores the geopolitical struggle between the US and Iran over influence in Iraq, asking Chalabi if he has accurately read the power shift in Iraq? Has he come to the conclusion that the drawdown of US forces will significantly diminish US influence in Iraq, and increase that of Iran?Does he ask himself: Why get stuck with a departing US when victory and good fortune awaits me with a rising Iran?This episode of Inside Iraq airs from Friday, February 26, 2010, at the following times GMT: Friday: 1730, 2230; Saturday: 0300, 0830; Sunday: 0600, 1230; Monday: 0130.

New 'Premium' version is now available (just $1) and includes the much requested widget + auto reconnect after phone calls. Free version will continue to get bug fixes, but most new features will be targeted at the Premium version. Thanks for your support! (If you've donated in the past via PayPal just shoot me an email and I'll get you set up with a free copy of the premium version)
Simple app to stream audio to your bluetooth mono headset. Please upgrade to Premium if you'd like to support development.
Requires Android 2.2 or higher. Tested on stock HTC Evo 4G ROM (2.2) and CM7 RC1. Leave feedback and ask questions at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=950472
- Widget (premium only)
- Auto restart after phone call (premium only)
- Customize your Android's color (premium only)
- Automatically enable Bluetooth on app launch (user can still choose not to allow this). Make sure your headset is actually CONNECTED before hitting 'On.'
- In-app 'Media Volume' control. Adjust the 'Bluetooth In-Call Volume' using the physical buttons on your phone or headset.
- Ongoing Status Bar notification while the program is running.
- Automatic turn on at app launch available via Menu-->Preferences. Note - if enabled your headset must be connected before running BTmono.
- ICS (Android 4.0) support including use of Holo theme
- Limited Skype support (if enabled after call is started). Please note - microphone routing is not possible on Samsung phones and may not be possible on GSM phones - sorry.
- Make sure your headset is connected BEFORE clicking 'On'
- To use with Skype you must enable BTmono AFTER starting a Skype call. Microphone routing does not appear to be possible on Samsung phones (without some ugly hacks, at least) because of Samsung's efforts to prevent phone call recording. Microphone routing may also be impossible on GSM phones due to API limitations. Please don't rate the program lowly due to this - Skype support is not the point of this app!
- To reduce static, set the 'Media Volume' slider to max and reduce the 'Bluetooth In-Call Volume' via your phone/headset.
- This version contains a workaround for a bug in Android 2.2 which causes a system crash under certain circumstances. If you are on 2.2, do NOT disable Bluetooth while the stream is running or your phone WILL reboot (sorry - tell your phone manufacturer to move to 2.2.1+). The bug has been fixed as of Android 2.2.1.

Bluetooth GPS
!!! Please read... YOU NEED AN EXTERNAL BLUETOOTH GPS HARDWARE DEVICE TO GET IT WORKS !!!
### I always receive questions about how to use this app to connect their Notebook or PC, Mac, or tethering another Android ...etc. I have to clarify that the purpose of this app is to connect the Android device with an external Bluetooth GPS device, in order to "replace" the android's internal GPS.
If you dont understand what the purpose of the app, please don't dl.
Please install at your own risk.
@@@@@ For samsung devices @@@@@
If your device crash occasionally, please first turn on the internal GPS before using the app. It is a known problem with some samsung devices.
### Please understand that the app frontend is just a frontend, mainly for controlling and configuration purpose, and providing some handy info. so don't expect it has many functions, shows every details and in any desired format...etc.
**** Please first enable Allow Mock Locations in Setting ****
* can't guarantee all device+apps work, pls email me details :)
Now you can start/stop the service from other apps by sending the service or broadcast Intent :
Start - googoo.android.btgps.action.SERVICE_START
Stop - googoo.android.btgps.action.SERVICE_STOP
Toggle - googoo.android.btgps.action.SERIVCE_TOGGLE

There are thousands combinations of [android version x mobile hardware x bluetooth gps hardware ]. Sorry that it is impossible to provide support on a particular hardware model. Even a GPS-A works with Mobile-A, but GPS-A may not work with Mobile-B, but Mobile-B works with GPS-B. However, after upgraded the android version, this combination does not work anymore, but the other combination works again. I always got such reports. I don't have any those hardwares, and even for some of them, I never heard before and cannot google any information about them. Hope you understand.
some android 4.2.x may have problem with the bluetooth stack.

Bluetooth Scanner - btCrawler
This tool can scan for surrounding visible bluetooth devices. It shows the device type, supported services and the signal strength. It can also be used to locate a device based on the signal strength. Devices like Headsets are usually only visible during the pairing phase. Thus you might not be able to track your lost headset even if it is still connected.
*** PLEASE NOTE: Devices with Android below 4.3 can not be supported by the new features. You will receive the last working version before the changes. Any other device with Android 4.3 or higher will receive the new features like new UI and LE scanning. I am sorry for any inconvenience caused by the last updates. ***
- Support for Bluetooth LE scanning (including LE attributes and characterstics)
- Database support. All scanned devices are now stored in a database and can be reviewed. Stored data includes the time a device is first seen and when it was last seen.
- List currently paired devices
- Scan for visible devices
- Shows Device Name, BDADDR (like MAC), Class of Device, Vendor and Signal Strength
- Query SDP services from devices
- Query Bluetooth LE attributes and characteristics
- Pair / Unpair to devices
The Database can be exported to a csv file on the external storage. Filename is: btcrawler-.csv
Example: /mnt/sdcard/btCrawler-01-09-2013.csv
The csv has the following order: Device Name, Device Address, Class of Device, Pairing Status, Last Signal Strength, First Time Seen, Last Time Seen, Vendor.
The Database can also be wiped. For both functions hit the menu button.
Over the time I will add more features as I find more ways to mangle the API a bit more.
(People call btCrawler often also: BluetoothScanner, Bluetooth Scanner, Bluetooth Sniffer, BluetoothSniffer, Bluetooth Wardriving, Bluetooth Diagnostic, Bluetooth Tool)
Act responsible like a hacker, not like a cracker or skiddie!

BTmono - Premium
Simple app to stream audio to your bluetooth mono headset.
Requires Android 2.2 or higher. Tested on stock HTC Evo 4G ROM (2.2) and CM7 RC1. Leave feedback and ask questions at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=950472
- Change your Android's color
- Auto restart after phone call
- Widget!!
- Automatically enable Bluetooth on app launch (user can still choose not to allow this). Make sure your headset is actually CONNECTED before hitting 'On.'
- In-app 'Media Volume' control. Adjust the 'Bluetooth In-Call Volume' using the physical buttons on your phone or headset.
- Ongoing Status Bar notification while the program is running.
- Automatic turn on at app launch available via Menu-->Preferences. Note - if enabled your headset must be connected before running BTmono.
- ICS (Android 4.0) support including use of Holo theme.
- Limited Skype support (if enabled after call is started). Please note - microphone routing is not possible on Samsung phones and may not be possible on GSM phones - sorry.
- Make sure your headset is connected BEFORE clicking 'On'
- To use with Skype you must enable BTmono AFTER starting a Skype call. Microphone routing does not appear to be possible on Samsung phones (without some ugly hacks, at least) because of Samsung's efforts to prevent phone call recording. Microphone routing may also be impossible on GSM phones due to API limitations. Please don't rate the program lowly due to this - Skype support is not the point of this app!
- To reduce static, set the 'Media Volume' slider to max and reduce the 'Bluetooth In-Call Volume' via your phone/headset.
- This version contains a workaround for a bug in Android 2.2 which causes a system crash under certain circumstances. If you are on 2.2, do NOT disable Bluetooth while the stream is running or your phone WILL reboot (sorry - tell your phone manufacturer to move to 2.2.1+).
- Auto turn on BT when widget is activated.
- Volume sliders for audio streams other than 'Media'
- Possible - map headset button to user-definable action.
- Other features?
Please report any issues and make feature requests in this XDA thread (market comments are not a great way of asking questions or making suggestions):
It's beta, but should be pretty functional. My goal for the first release was to make things as fast and easy to use as possible. Fancy stuffy will come later. Let me know if you like it, and please submit your requests so I can make it better!
- Backup / restore notes
- Bookmarking
- Proper scripture formatting, including red-letter, italics, paragraph breaks, etc.
- Highlighting

With noises I always recommend that you confirm you don't have something obvious in one of your tires that maybe the culprit of said noise. If after you've did your walk around and noise still persist I would highly recommend you to take your vehicle to a qualified service station and most importantly take a road test w/ someone to confirm the noise that is your concern then allow them adequate time to investigate the root cause of noise. Could be axle, shifted belt within tire, engine/transmission mount &/or bracket, steering, suspension, etc... The possibilities are endless but having it taken care of prior to complete failure is a very wise/proactive way of staying clear of major damage. Good luck and best of wishes.

I like Diaz and think Weber can be ok as an NHL defenseman too. But you just can't have a defense that has all of Diaz, Weber, Kaberle, and Campoli on it at the same time. Too much of too little of certain elements there.
Unfortunately, it kind of looks like we'll have 3 of them back next year again, where I would have liked to see just 2. Diaz in my starting 6, and Weber as the #7 guy who fills in when one of the more offensive-minded types is out.
I find Diaz is quick and agile and while he gets overpowered in any physical battle, he'll learn the tricks of the trade enough to compensate. It is difficult for him to play without somebody to shelter him; Emelin will eventually be a good partner perhaps, but for now also makes too many mistakes to be a perfect fit, so we just have to make do in the meantime. Weber can play with a bit more jam at times, but also seems to lose focus, which worries me. He isn't as quick either, so it is going to be harder for him to compensate for his shortcomings.
They're doing fine overall. I never *expected* Diaz to be an NHL regular this season, but he has been, and deservedly so, so he's ahead of the curve afaic.

Island Hood that does not obstruct line of vision
We are remodeling a kitchen and want to put an island hood in but are concerned that it will be annoying when we have company because it will obstruct my husband's line of vision (he is 5'11" and the cook and we have 8 ft ceilings). I know that we are supposed to have the hood a max distance from the induction cooktop but we don't care and want to mount it higher up. The problem is that the shortest one I can find hangs 28". Someone suggested I have the installer cut the duct part to make it shorter. Any advice is appreciated!
Go visit some stores. 30'' above the cooking surface is just fine and doesn't obcure anyone's vision. Just make sure it's deeper and wider than the coking surface below, with additional CFM to compensate for the additional effluent drift that occurs with island venting that doesn't with perimeter venting.
Since you are remodeling, you should consider putting your cooktop along the wall, not in the island. It is a frequent misunderstanding that the cooktop in the island allows you to interact with your family/guests better. Actually, cooking is only 10% of the time you spend in your kitchen. Prep is 70%. And anyway, while you are cooking you are looking down at your pans not at your family/guests. Also, when there is a cooktop in the island you have to make sure people sitting at the island are sitting far enough away not to get splattered.
Really, an island is so much better for prep. That way, you can have family members help you prep at the island if you want, and you can have people seated at the island without worrying about burns/splatter, and you don't have to figure out island ventilation. Keep in mind that not only is the ventilation going to obstruct your sight lines, but island hoods are more expensive to purchase and install. Also, your island hood will need to be more powerful than a wall hood, cause there are no walls or cabinets to help contain the smoke, so your hood will need extra cfms to make up for that.
The Kitchens Forum has a lot of people who enjoy helping with layout. If you wish to do away with your island cooktop layout, they can help you,
If you're looking for a hood that won't block line-of-sight, don't even bother with American brands (Vent-A-Hood, Viking, etc), they're too huge & boxy. Look at European designs - Miele 6290, Futuro Futuro Streamline, Elica Twin Optica, etc.
Miele 6290 hood
Futuro Streamline hood
Elica Twin hood
Care should be taken to not confuse poser kitchen hoods with functional hoods. (Functional here refers to capture and containment of cooking effluent; poser refers to a kitchen environment designed for style.) The most functional hoods are those that emulate commercial hoods; the least functional have inadequate flow, or inadequate capture area, but often look very nice and have lower visual bulk.
The Elica Twin hood above, for example, appears to have a tiny aperture, and thus would not have high capture efficiency for high temperature cooking plumes expanding from pans on the cooktop below.
The OP must decide what is important and proceed accordingly, keeping in mind that performance, affordability, and aesthetics are usually conflicting goals.
There are also units that are build into the counter or even the cook top itself. They look interesting but not sure how effective they really are. Some companies also have hoods that go into the ceiling. All of these options seem expensive, though.

To translate the raw power and majesty of a Theyyam performance onto a two-dimensional, still medium is no mean feat.
The folk art is known to evoke an intense reaction in viewers and for artist T.R. Udayakumar, it was no different. He needed to vent his awe through his preferred mode of expression and months of work led to his latest exhibition titled 'Metaphors of Power,' which will conclude at the Museum auditorium here on Sunday.
Thiruvananthapuram is the first venue for the Theyyam-based exhibition that consists of 21 pieces. Though they vary in size, a common thread is the adept blend of symbols and facial features of Theyyam, with an abstract quality woven in, that bears almost Picasso-like traits for his use of strict geometric figures.
"I wanted to portray the divine and profound features of the art form and also capture the discipline that it demands," said Mr. Udayakumar. The symmetrical designs packed onto the canvas surround the face of a performer in most paintings. The facial features demanded the most attention, says the artist. Some paintings lack faces, which he says, is an attempt to project Theyyam's power through the bold use of colours. "For this series, I have used only the shades that feature in a Theyyam performance," Mr. Udayakumar says.
The works are on display online on www.konarkartgallery.com.
Currently an executive member of the Kerala Lalithakala Akademi, Mr. Udayakumar feels that the future of contemporary art looks promising.

Two of the biggest losers in Wednesday's trading were Freddie Mac (NYSE:FRE) and Fannie Mae (NYSE:FNM). Freddie Mac had reported a second-quarter loss of $821 million. The company stated that the potential of newly imposed federal capital requirements or limits to its portfolio purchases might pose further dangers to its recovery.
Freddie Mac closed at $6.49, down 19.28% for the day, and down an incredible 93% from its 52-week high of $67.20. At this point, however, it has almost doubled from its low of $3.89. The company is reportedly planning to slash its dividend to five cents a share or less for the third quarter — down from the previous payout of 25 cents. FRE is pondering to raise capital by selling a "substantial" amount (at least $5.5 billion) of new capital by selling shares to meet regulatory capital requirements — which most certainly will dilute current shareholder values even further.
Fannie Mae fell 14.71% to $11.60. That's 83.5% below its 52-week high, but almost a double over its 52-week low. Pundits believe that the U.S. Treasury will have to buy as much as $30 billion of preferred shares in both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Looking at FNM's stock chart over the last couple of days, it becomes quite obvious that the company got shellacked by the fall-out of FRE's earnings announcement, which knocked it down from its August 5 closing price of $13.60. Aftermarket activity Wednesday indicated further losses of a percentage point on Thursday.
But I believe there is the definite potential of a 10-20% rally from yesterday's closing price. Look for a close above $13 in the next two days.

Tuesday 31 March 2015
Police in Birmingham are appealing for information following an armed robbery which took place at a cash and carry in Highgate in the early hours of this morning (Tuesday 31 March).
Three masked men, one carrying a handgun, forced their way into East End Foods in Darwin Street, just after midnight. They threatened staff, smashed a window to the cashier desk and fired a gun into a wall as a warning.
Full Story
A Coventry barber has been jailed for eight years for the rape of a student after a night out celebrating her friend's birthday.
Gena Assumini was arrested last May after the woman, now aged 22, reported to medical staff, and subsequently police, that she had been attacked while attending a party at a house in the Hillfields area of the city.
Police in Birmingham are appealing for information after a video – currently circulating on social media – appears to show a man being assaulted outside the Jury's Inn in Broad Street.

LG LFX31935ST 30.5 Cu. Ft. Stainless Steel French Door Refrigerator - Energy Star (View all from LG)
over 800 reviews
We are thrilled
"I never thought that I'd buy an appliance from a dealer 900 mikes away, but it looks like I am in good company! I first saw your store in person, since my son and his family live only two mikes away from your store. And then I found you online when I was trying to compare brands and features of a high-end under counter ice maker. We are thrilled. And your salesperson helped me compare various features to get just the right one. It arrived in perfect condition. We are delighted and will definitely be shopping for other appliances as needed, especially since we saved almost 20%!! Great concept and good people to do business with. Thanks!"
Excellent buying experience
"I really liked my experience with your company. 1. Your price was very competitive with other companies locally and on line. 2. Free shipping to my front door. 3. Ability to track my order from the time I placed the order to delivery. 4. Excellent customer service even during the New Year holiday. Called back with updated delivery. 5.

nope...but i think his technique/ability was weird
Lame. Really Lame.
Konan.. eek..
Anyway, I thought was just awesome..
We just got on how Jiraya get their information.
When I saw the bartender, I got that feeling.. omg its jiraya! that moustache is so fake..
But the bar being a "henge" frog.. was awesome.
"Chile is a thin and tall country"
tobi is a good boy...
It actually may be possible to be tickled to death. You can't eat or sleep when you laugh and your breathing rate isn't 100% so you might eventually die from exhaustion or respiratory failure.
nah he was probably gonna force feed em with feathers. trying to stuff em...
ROFL...the bar being a frog was totally funny and awesome. The two rain ninja were just OWNED. Jiriaya is uber when he needs to be. I hope Gamabunta makes an appearance too.
Finally. I have waited so long to see that frog stomach technique again. Jiraya really ought to teach it to Naruto. And I agree on that Read or Die thing. Paper and rain doesn't even seem to be a good mix.
Does anyone know where Jiraiya's frog went to? Did it transport away from the village or is it hidden in a large puddle in the village?

Canal + Ruins, what more do you want in one day!
We leave the ship on a tender, with a short,calm ride to the shore. Our bus, no pretentious coaches in Greece, take us the Corinth Canal. This canal, built between 1881 & 1893 is 4 miles long, cuts through the Isthmus of Corinth and connects the Gulf of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea.
It seems that every tourist in the area is visiting at the same time. Boats still use the canal, but being only 70 feet wide, the cruise ships and cargo boats still have the go around ...
And another road trip

After a quick swim in one of the beautiful beaches, we headed for the seaside town of Nafplio. My cousin's husband took the role of tour guide, commenting and pointing out highlights along the way. We learned that, according to Greek mythology, Nafplio was founded and ...

First stop...Corinth canal. Here is just a brief history of this spectacular canal. In the town of Corinth was a huge big canal, helping the Corinthians (local people) get to the other side. The Corinth Canal in Greece leads to the Saronic Gulf in the southeast. It is a canal that is 6.4kilometres in length and only 21.3 metres ...
Epidaurus, larger in life!

Next I visit the museum which is not large but is very interesting. I stay longer than I expect. to, but I have hours to wait until the return bus and it ...
