About the art in this issue:
As a child growing up in the Australian bush, Catherine Hickson was sketching and painting when she was not riding her horses or working with her father. At school she was guided into a more academic world. Despite pursuing a career in journalism and publishing, her creative side was always active. Ten years ago, after seeing the Chardin paintings in the Louvre, she realized it was time to pursue painting. She studied historical oil painting for three years at the Charlie Sheard Studio School in Sydney, Australia. Deeply inspired by the great Italian painters of the 16th and 17th centuries, she formed her own painting practice.
Her most recent still life exhibition studied the slow, changing colors and tones of ripening fruits. As the colors of the subjects soften and deepen, the opaque and transparent pigments soften and deepen with artistic response. This slow, sensual process allows the artist to be truly present in every moment of the work. Contact Catherine through her gallery at Maunsell Wickes at Barry Stern Galleries, 19 Glenmore Road, Paddington NSW 2021, Sydney Australia (www.maunsellwickes.com), or via e-mail: email@example.com.

does not act improperly; is not selfish;
is not provoked;

Where any employee discovers information which they believe shows malpractice or wrongdoing within 3i, under most circumstances they would be expected to raise concerns with their line manager, who will pass this information to the appropriate Executive Committee member.
Should this route be neither suitable nor acceptable, then the employee may approach one of the following individuals who have been designated to provide impartial advice on the appropriate course of action to follow:
- Director, Group Compliance;
- Director, Internal Audit
- Group Legal Counsel & Company Secretary.
Alternatively, employees may express their concerns on a completely confidential basis through an independent 'hotline' service provided by an independent, external party.
There should be no fear of reprisal or victimisation or harassment for making such disclosures in good faith.

Sabayon is a Gentoo-based GNU/Linux distribution with support for binary package installation. It is, therefore, more of a hybrid distribution than a purely source-based distribution like Gentoo. That is another way of saying that you can install a Gentoo-based distribution without having to compile packages from source. While most Linux distributions follow a 6-month release cycle, Sabayon bucks the trend by making new releases available for download at about half that time.
Origin – Home Page: Italy – Sabayon
- Installation – Sabayon uses the same installation program, Anaconda, developed and used by Fedora. That gives it a range of installation features you will not find on most other (Linux) distributions. LVM is the default disk partitioning scheme. Full disk encryption is supported. As an option, individual logical volumes may also be encrypted. RAID is also supported. Installation to disks connected to remote systems, like mainframes and SANs is possible. The installer has the option to install the system on UMPC devices. The latest release of Sabayon has experimental support for btrfs. GRUB is the boot loader, and it can be password-protected.
- Desktop Environments – The K Desktop Environment (KDE), GNOME, Xfce are officially supported.
- Software Management – Entropy is Sabayon's binary package management system, consisting of a command line client, Equo, and Sulfur as the graphical frontend. Entropy is said to incorporate the best features of Yum, Gentoo's Portage, and Debian's Advanced Packaging Tool, APT. Installed Applications – A default installation of Sabayon has all the applications that the average user will ever need to use, and there are thousands more in its repository. The media center application, XBMC, is integrated into the system. There is a wide variety of games installed, including a few 3D games. All the proprietary applications and multimedia codecs are either installed by default, or in the main repository
- Admin Tools – Aside from graphical package manager, Sulfur, the graphical administrative tools available on Sabayon are specific to the desktop environment in use. The graphical package manager itself is a work in progress, but it's gotten much better than it used to be. Security Posture – Because it has all the features required to enhance the physical security posture of a Linux system, it is possible to achieve the very highest physical security rating on Sabayon. On the network security front, Sabayon does not have the same tools available on Mandriva. The firewall tends to be disabled by default, and it does not have its own custom developed graphical firewall manager.
- Hardware Requirements – Sabayon is supported on 32-bit and 64-bit platforms. Plan on having at least 1 GB of RAM installed.

See a complete list of Sabayon reviews and tutorials here.
Recommendation: Sabayon is a very powerful distribution. However, it is still rough around the edges. It seems that the developers are more interested in implementing new features rather than in ensuring that the system is stable and works properly. As such, it is not recommended if you are new to Linux and are looking for a distro that just works. Intermediate to advanced users, or even new users looking for a distro they can tinker with, will find it a fun distro to use.
Download Sabayon CDs/DVDs: CD and DVD iso images for x86 and 64-bit architectures are available for download

dress: vintage, clothing swap
brown faux leather belt: thrifted
navy + white cardigan, beaded earrings: Forever 21
blue sandals: Saltwater
studded bag: Buffalo Exchange, no label
I'm pretty sure my bag doesn't go with this outfit in the slightest, but hey, I'm just breaking another rule, right? I was dashing out the door so black studded awesomeness it is. I also blow dried my hair straight, I'm usually only motivated to do that about once a month! Something about long thick hair just really makes me not want to smooth it out constantly. [Oh, that's probably sweat I'm talking about.] So I managed to enjoy this blowout for several days. I should also mention that this dress once belonged to Liz's mother back in the day, she brought it to a clothing swap, and that swapper brought it to another swap down the line! I am so happy to have it in my hands, it fits like a dream. And isn't that the beauty of a dress, you put it on and you're done? Amen to that, friends.

Wow, no offense but the entire article is interesting, not just that one paragraph. It's fascinating the depth to which they go to keep everything secure. Quite interesting & eye opening. I knew iOS & the hardware was complicated but had no idea how complex it really is.
This is how Touch ID and the Apple A7 processor keep your iPhone secure
As soon as the iPhone 5s was released last fall we ripped it apart and took a closer look, specifically at Touch ID. We had a hunch that Touch ID was paired to individual hardware even back then. An updated iOS security document issued by Apple looks to confirm our suspicions:
While the iOS security document goes into detail about Secure Enclave, what it is, and how it works, the part we find most interesting is as follows -
Each Secure Enclave is provisioned during fabrication with its own UID (Unique ID) that is not accessible to other parts of the system and is not known to Apple. When the device starts up, an ephemeral key is created, tangled with its UID, and used to encrypt the Secure Enclave's portion of the device's memory space.
What the above statement by Apple means is that when Secure Enclave is manufactured it gets a unique identifier that is then paired with another identifier on a specific device. This results in a hardware lockdown of Touch ID that locks out tampering of any kind.
In our initial teardown we were able to verify that a Touch ID swapped from one iPhone 5s and put into another caused Touch ID to immediately stop working. Set up attempts failed and in some cases, Touch ID completely disappeared from the Settings panel. Swapping the Touch ID sensors back into the iPhones they came in remedied the problem instantly.
The entire security piece from Apple is an interesting read and goes into detail not only on the workings of Touch ID but other facets of iOS such as iCloud Keychain data protection and more. Hit the link to check it out in its entirety and then let me know how you feel about iOS security. Do you feel Apple does more than other companies in terms of protecting your data? Do you still not trust iCloud? Why or why not?

This is how Touch ID and the Apple A7 processor keep your iPhone secure
It's called AppleCare+. You get a whole new iPhone.
Read all about it: http://www.apple.com/support/products/iphone.html
Thank you, but you mean to say that in some countries Apple has a flat fee for repair of out of warranty phones. Everywhere else you need the services of independent companies, which BTW, happens to be the majority of countries where Apple sells phones. So, to be specific, can an independent company fix a Touch ID button?
Assuming you don't have AppleCare+ because you didn't want to shell out $80 (as mentioned above - and I didn't either) I'd say you also couldn't afford or want to pay another independent company to replace the hardware even if it was possible (which I doubt it is). It would likely be far more expensive. You'd probably be best contacting Apple for a definite answer though. Likely, you'll just need to resort to using a PIN code instead and forget about replacing the Touch ID hardware.
"Do you feel Apple does more than other companies in terms of protecting your data? Do you still not trust iCloud? Why or why not?"
Your Apple ID is your key to Apple's whole infrastructure now and presumably into the future. iTunes Store, App Store, iCloud, etc. etc. etc. So it is extremely important, from a business perspective, for Apple to keep your Apple ID and password as secure as possible.
It really looks like Apple is taking things step-by-step, carefully laying the groundwork, relentlessly preparing their mobile hardware for an eventual disruption of retail store point-of-sale. They've already rolled out a complete no-cashier payment system in their own Apple Stores. EasyPay works perfectly in the Apple Store app. It's just a small matter of programming to add EasyPay to Passbook.
Maybe we'll see retailers getting on the bandwagon this year. And maybe iOS 8 will have some expanded e-wallet features. This is how it would go. iOS 8 beta is distributed to developers at WWDC14 this summer with some kind of EasyPay API. One or more major nationwide retail chain will be announced as the first to use the new feature. "One tap checkout. In real life."
Then developers will have 4 or 5 months to incorporate that feature into other retailers' apps before the holiday season. Retail stores will install the required hardware: iBeacons for marketing and in-store analytics, Wi-Fi for transmitting purchase transactions, servers for processing transactions and for inventory control (turning off the alarm when purchased items pass through the sensor "gate"), and of course their own apps with optional Passbook connectivity.
All of which just might depend on your Apple ID. None of which is worth anything unless Apple keeps TouchID absolutely secure.
Recent events have taught us all that Apple and security are two words that do not go together. Unless they can profit on security, it's not a priority for Apple.
It's interseting that apple would put that much effort into it. It's definitely an added plus. And they didn't have to brag about.

I remember when touch ID was announced and the media went crazy with speculation about how touch ID could be hacked and your fingerprint could then be released out into the wild. Something tells me, this article will not be covered with so much enthusiasm by the media. Not to mention I've seen very little discussion about the security of the implementation that Samsung is using on it's new fingerprint scanner.
It's great to know that the company goes to this extent to protect our data. Great read!
Sent from the iMore App
I've got to be honest, I was surprised to hear that apple was going to use fingerprint technology in its products, because I assumed that iris recognition is more secure and would be a tidier option to implement through the front facing camera and then apple could've gone completely bezelless on the iphone and maybe could've gone see through too. Now I am positively dreaming
Good point, and wasn't aware iris scanners shine a visible light into your eyes!!! ; )

Certain participants in the Swedish overfeeding study showed apparent resistance to becoming "supersized" despite excess food intake (27 January, p 28). This should be no surprise.
A number of experiments with pairs of identical twins have reported that twins gain almost exactly as much weight as each other, though there are marked differences between pairs of twins. This suggests that genetics play a large role in determining responses to chronic overfeeding.
The same variability is seen in responses to weight-loss interventions through diet and/or exercise. Clearly, not every person who consumes excess calories will become obese, and conversely not every overweight person who diets and exercises will experience identical weight loss.
It seems that during past times of food scarcity, "thrifty genes" ensured survival. Unfortunately, these same genes now contribute to the development of obesity in our current "obesigenic" environment.

Racial Attitudes Conference Marks 10 Years of Research
Retired Appellate Court Judge Olly Neal, whose compelling memories were recently shared on NPR's StoryCorps program, will be among the featured panelists at the annual Racial Attitudes in Pulaski County Conference this Thursday, March 28.
The event, free and open to the public, will be held at the Stella Boyle Smith Concert Hall in the Fine Arts Building. The conference is presented by the UALR Institute on Race and Ethnicity.
The conference begins at 9 a.m. with a panel discussion focused on the topic of the most recent survey, crime and punishment. The morning session will be followed by a round table discussion from noon until 2 p.m.
In addition to Neal, guest panelists will include Robert Tellez of the Monterrey & Tellez law firm; Leta Anthony of the Willie Hinton Neighborhood Resource Center; Little Rock assistant chief of police, Eric Higgins; and Dr. Charles Chastain of the Prison Library Project and professor emeritus of criminal justice at UALR.
Chancellor Joel E. Anderson will also announce the online publication of all 10 years of survey data results conducted by the UALR Institute of Government.
"People find it easy to dismiss national data as not really relevant to state or local problems. It is hard to deny the findings of a local survey," he said.
To learn more about the 2013 Racial Attitudes Conference, go to the 10th Racial Attitudes Conference site.
The UALR Institute on Race and Ethnicity was founded in July 2011 to seek racial and ethnic justice in Arkansas by remembering and understanding the past, informing and engaging the present, and shaping and defining the future. It serves as a resource for multidisciplinary, research-driven data – including historical, sociological, educational, and economic analyses – to combat structural racism and fulfill its mission.

The state insurance commissioner is providing some guidance to Pennsylvania residents whose health insurance policies are being cancelled.
Hundreds of thousands of state residents have been notified their policies are being eliminated because they not acceptable under the Affordable Care Act.
State Insurance Commissioner Michael Consedine says they should expect to hear soon from their insurance company about their options.
Consedine says insurance companies will be allowed to continue individual policies originally set for cancellation. But it's up to the companies to decide what they want to do.
The insurance department says all four of the Blue Plans have agreed to allow special care polyholders to continue that coverage into next year.
"This is a Pennsylvania-applied bandage for individuals harmed by the ACA, not a cure for a critically-ailing ACA. Although this bandage may provide temporary relief for some, Pennsylvania will continue to see additional cancellations, rate increases and significant problems due to ACA-driven changes in the insurance marketplace.
Considine's announcement only affects individual policies, not those of small businesses.

'American Idol': Amber Holcomb comes out of nowhere on 'My Funny Valentine'Add to Favorites | American Idol
Amber Holcomb - Vegas Singoff - American Idol 12 by IdolxMuzic
So, where did little miss Amber Holcomb come from? Her performance of old standard "My Funny Valentine" by Rodgers and Hart was one of the top two performances of the night, in our opinion ( along with Kree Harrison). We actually kind of wish she hadn't R&B-slow-jammed the arrangement because it could've been an even bigger moment for her.
But still, it was incredible. Keith Urban praised, "Why do you make it so hard on everybody else? ... the breath control, making it look so easy. So great to watch. Knocked it out of the park, baby." and Nicki Minaj added, "That vocal was A+++. But, I'm wondering if that inner shine is going to shine through the TV ... I just wish that it jumped out more. But the vocal is at the top of the class."
Nicki's not wrong. Amber is adorable, but her stage presence for hte audience at home could use a boost. She's got time, though. What a great way to kick the season off for her.
What did you think, "Idol" fans?

Instructor Resources
Beginning to Read
Beginning to Read reconciles the debate that has divided theorists for decades over the "right" way to help children learn to read. Drawing on a rich array of research on the nature and development of reading proficiency, Adams shows educators that they need not remain trapped in the phonics versus teaching-for-meaning dilemma. She proposes that phonics can work together with the whole language approach to teaching reading and provides an integrated treatment of the knowledge and process involved in skillful reading, the issues surrounding their acquisition, and the implications for reading instruction.

One of the first studies to raise questions about possible long-term CNS effects of OPs was an uncontrolled study of industrial workers exposed in the 1950s and 1960s (Metcalf and Holmes, 1969). This case series identified long-term alterations in workers' EEG and cognition. It provided the impetus for studies in rhesus monkeys (Burchfiel et al., 1976, described earlier) and the first controlled study of long-term CNS effects in workers accidentally exposed to sarin (Duffy et al., 1979; Burchfiel and Duffy, 1982). Researchers studied a population of 77 workers with previously documented accidental exposure at a manufacturing plant and compared them to unexposed controls from the same plant (n = 38) on EEG activity. None had been exposed within a year of the study. Exposed workers had one or more exposure incidents within the previous 6 years. At the time of exposure, they had clinical signs and depressed erythrocyte cholinesterase activity (by at least 25 percent). The EEG investigation consisted of spectral analysis of tape-recorded EEGs, visual inspection of routine clinical EEGs, and visual inspection of all-night sleep EEGs. Univariate and multivariate analysis of the EEG power spectra showed significant increase in high-frequency, beta activity (15–30 Hz) in temporal, central, and occipital regions in workers exposed to sarin compared to the control group (p < .001). There was a discrepancy between increased amounts of slow-wave activity in the delta and theta frequency bands (0–8 Hz) seen on visual inspection of EEG and the absence of such a finding by spectral analysis for the group exposed to sarin. Analysis of all-night sleep recordings showed a significant increase in the amount of REM (rapid eye movement) sleep only in the workers exposed to sarin. The clinical significance of these changes was not clear. Exposed workers also reported increased dreaming, instances of irritability, disturbed memory, and difficulty in maintaining alertness and attention (Burchfiel and Duffy, 1982), although methodological details of the symptom reporting were not provided. The increase in EEG beta activity in both monkeys (see earlier discussion) and humans years after acute exposure to sarin lends credence to a chronic CNS effect of sarin.
In the late evening of June 27, 1994, Japanese terrorists spread sarin vapor, using a heater and fan mounted on a truck, in a residential neighborhood near the center of Matsumoto, Japan (Nakajima et al., 1997). About 600 people (residents and rescue teams) developed acute symptoms of sarin exposure (i.e., the acute cholinergic syndrome); 58 were admitted to hospitals, 253 sought medical assistance, and 7 people died. Sarin was later detected in air and water samples by gas chromatograph-mass spectrometry (GC-MC) (Nakajima et al., 1998). Several case reports, case series, and a population-based epidemiologic study emerged from this attack on a civilian population. The population-based study, the first of its kind on sarin exposure, identified symptoms persisting up to 3

A Forest of Flowers: Short Stories
Longman, 1995 - Literary Criticism - 154 pages
A Forest of Flowers is a collection of nineteen short stories which explore the absurdity of life for characters whose ambitions, modest as they are, are constantly thwarted by disgruntled spirits - in the form of idle and corrupt officials, adulterous spouses, envious relatives and grasping, untrustworthy entrepreneurs.
Through a series of episodes, seemingly parochial and small scale, a nation is shown cracking up under the pressures of maladministration, corporate greed, sloth, ignorance and mercenary self-interest, while its people struggle against government neglect and abuse, racketeering, poverty, disease, superstition and ethnic mistrust.

Aussie band 5 Seconds of Summer to support One Direction on world tour!
The Sydney teens get set for stardom...
You may not have heard of Sydney band 5 Seconds of Summer yet but we're willing to bet we'll be seeing a lot more of these Aussie lads in the months to come – with the band confirming they'll be supporting One Direction on their 2013 World Tour!
After discovering the band on YouTube last year, the 1D boys have been spending time with 5SOS over the last few months and have announced the four West Sydney teens will be their main support across all UK, USA, Canada, Australian and New Zealand dates.
"We discovered 5SOS on YouTube last year and we all knew straight away they were very special," revealed Niall Horan.
"We're so excited to have them on the road with us and we know our fans are going to LOVE what these lads do."
According to News.com.au, as of this morning the rising pop rockers have amassed over 127,000 followers on Twitter and 66,665 likes on their Facebook account – with their Twitter followers increasing in their thousands every hour.
5SOS members Luke Hemmings, Michael Clifford, Calum Hood and Ashton Irwin relocated to London two months ago to begin work on their debut album, set for release later this year, and earlier this week released a brand new track called 'Heartbreak Girl' on their website.
"Supporting 1D is going to be amazing" drummer Ashton Irwin said today.
"We still can't believe how far we have come since playing our first show at the Annandale a year ago. We love our fans that have continually supported us and can't thank them enough for getting us to where we are today."
One Direction's 2013 World Tour kicks off at London's 02 Arena next Saturday! Click here for full 1D tour dates.

I am truly grateful to the holder of this site
who has shared this impressive piece of writing at at this
I do not even know how I stopped up right here,
but I assumed this publish was once good. I do not realize who you are but
definitely you're going to a well-known blogger in the event you aren't already.
I want to to thank you fοr this ωonderful read!
! I absοlutely loved evеry bit of it. I hаve you booκmarκеd to look at new things you pοst
a couple of days ago a I posted a comment. you did not post it! I was checking this site several times. anyway. from now on I'll think twice to send a comment. if it gets lost anyway.
a week ago I stated something like:
the islamists undoubtedly represent the avant-garde
the avant-garde of backwardness!
to close down the entire bar. why not only change the drinks? mango, coconut, water, etc.?
is there any university in Northern Mali?
if Islamists come to power, there is apparently not much more than women being harassed, men having to grow beards, thieves losing hands, sheikhs having the right to rape young women, widows being forced to prostitution, young girls being married to men sometimes at least thrice their age, etc.
sometimes I wonder who the judges are to accept those verdicts. in terms of crimes, mutilation and capital punishment, is the crime thoroughly investigated?
in pakistan there have been cases that some people are accused of blasphemy and the accused is sentenced to death and then possibly killed.
if there (in the judicial system) is only need for two or three witnesses presenting their testimony and there is no proper investigation it looks not very difficult to push through the intention of executing someone you don't like.
anyway, maybe in Northern Mali everything will be different. the first accounts from the scene though do not evoke optimism.
hope the touareg MLNA distances itself very fast from the Islamists. not much common ground.

The following is an archive of a post made to our
'vox mailing list'
by one of its subscribers.
Have you considered a used Toyota Prius? I looked up on carmax
(sacramento/Roseville), right now it has two 01 Prius at around 16K.
Prius is fairly reliable and has good gas mileage, according to
consumerreports (which I subscribe to). Prius has more cargo room
than Honda Insight. Used civic hybrid is nice too but I think it's
out of your price range since you want to pay around 15K only.
Even a used civic or corolla will do nicely. My wife's 1998 Camry can
do about 28-30 MPG with freeway mileage, less with mix and even less
with local but still above 23-24MPG. Carmax has a 00 Corolla CE, 64K
mileages, auto but with some blemishes at 9,998 right now. You should
get 30+ with Corolla on highways.

From Staff Reports
HORN LAKE – There's still plenty of soccer left, but the Starkville High boys have jumped over their first major hurdle in the Class 6A playoffs.
Playing on the road against Division 1 champion Horn Lake Thursday, the Yellowjackets picked up a 2-1 win in the first round matchup.
The victory allows Starkville to host Saturday's second round match against Division 3 winner Madison Central, who defeated Vicksburg 3-0 on Tuesday to advance.
The Jackets' Saturday match against Madison Central is set for 1 p.m.
On Thursday, Starkville's Taylor Wise notched the night's first goal in the third minute off a cross from Alvaro Pichardo to put the Jackets up 1-0.
Dylan Howard added Starkville's second goal in the 47th minute off of a corner kick from Wise.
Horn Lake added its goal in the 80th minute to cap the scoring.
With the win, Starkville improved to 16-1-1 and can advance to the Feb. 1 North State title game with another victory Saturday.
"Winning (Thursday) kind of nullifies our loss to Tupelo," said SHS head coach Brian Bennett in reference to last Saturday's defeat which cost the Jackets the Division 2 championship and relegated them to the division's runner-up. "We were disappointed to not get to play our first (playoff) game at home, but if you go on the road and win, you have a good chance to play at home in the second round, which we got. You can't ask for more than that."
The Starkville girls also played their first round playoff game Thursday, falling on the road to DeSoto Central.
The Lady Jackets concluded their season with a final overall record of 13-5.
Both the Jackets' and Lady Jackets' Thursday contests were originally scheduled for Tuesday, but pushed back two days due to weather conditions.

Parents may not like how much their teens play video or computer games, but gaming appears to be harmless for most kids, a new Yale University study suggests.
The survey of 4,028 teens found that playing video games didn't lead to unhealthy behaviors in boys, who accounted for the majority of gamers in the study. But 5% who reported "problematic" or addictive gaming habits were more likely to smoke cigarettes, use drugs and get into serious fights. Check out the full study, published Tuesday in the journal Pediatrics.
This likely won't be the last word on the effects of gaming on kids. The Los Angeles Times reports that judges and scientists find it difficult to interpret such studies in deciding whether some games are too violent for minors.
Still, parents have the final say about what's healthy for their kids. Here's a good primer that sorts out myths about video games and kids from PBS.org. Video Game Addiction's website offers signs to look for in children who may be getting hooked.

The basic integration architecture, as defined by ESBs, hasn't changed for more than a decade. Most cloud integration providers still rely on an ESB architecture and their proprietary connectors. As a result, enterprise integration projects suffer from constraints of availability and reliability of these connectors that are not re-usable across other integration vendors. However, the rapid adoption of APIs and almost ubiquitous availability of APIs amongst most SaaS and Cloud applications are rapidly redefining traditional integration approaches and their reliance on proprietary connectors. ...

Sometimes, all you need is a quick, merciless judgment.
A Sparkler writes,
Is this sentence grammatically correct?
"Lydgate idealizes Rosamund, he didn't figure out how materialistic she is"
The short answer: no.
The long answer: no, for four reasons.
1) Tense shifts. It's okay to use different tenses in the same sentence, as long as you're obeying grammar rules. Here, you're shifting tenses in an illegal fashion. You begin in present ("idealizes"), move to past ("didn't), and go back to present ("is") in a way that doesn't make sense.
2) Comma splice. You've got two independent clauses here, which means you can't connect them with a comma.
3) Sense. It took me a few reads to understand the idea you're trying to convey. That's mostly a matter of style, but the grammar problems also obscure meaning.
4) Punctuation. You're missing a period. No big deal, but teachers tend to get grumpy when you leave out punctuation.
Here are a few ways you might revise this sentence:
Lydgate idealizes Rosamund because he doesn't realize how materialistic she is.
Lydgate idealizes Rosamund; he does not grasp how materialistic she is.
Lydgate idealizes Rosamund, refusing to see how materialistic she is. (I think this rewrite expresses the idea most clearly.)

'NCIS': A Salior's Life For Me
With most of the NCIS team back together in Washington, it's now up to one Anthony DiNozzo to find a way to punch his golden ticket home from what has to be not the greatest of living conditions. Of course, I'm sure some of the Navy types out there wouldn't trade carrier life for anything in the world... I'm just saying it's not DiNozzo's cup of tea.
Spoilers on deck!
DiNozzo is running throughout the USS Seahawk. At least he's getting exercise on the ship. He arrives on deck to find a neatly folded uniform sitting on the fantail. Lt. Chad Evans does a Peter Pan right off the stern of the ship. Or does he?
Ziva and McGee sit around bored... that is, until Gibbs arrives to hand off the case. The two quickly depart for the house of the fallen soldier, only for Ziva to find the wife dead. Ducky finds snot in the wife's hair. You would think the killer would take a Kleenex or two for just this occasion. However, the killer did take the time to set the house to 40 degrees to slow decomposition.
The gang returns to find Abby setting up DiNozzo's desk for his "big return." She's handling an awfully large paddle for the River Denial.
Gibbs wants DiNozzo back, but Vance won't relent until his current tour is up in three months. Until then, Gibbs has two potential replacements to choose from. To say Gibbs is displeased is putting it mildly.
Speaking of DiNozzo, he's turning up squat in his investigation. The bunk mate of Evans tells him to talk to a Lt. Kaplan... which doesn't turn up much. A trip to sick bay isn't all that helpful either. Will someone show him some love already?
The gang pulls up Lt. Evans service record and notices the credit card bills piling up. Gibbs goes to teleconference to see what DiNozzo has. McGee walks in to say the lieutenant's credit card was used after he left port. Gibbs takes this to Vance and he allows one day for DiNozzo to search the Colombian city where the card was last used. Don't think for one second that Vance is turning into a softy.
In Cartagena, DiNozzo runs into a bartender he knows to extract the info. The bartender plays coy at first, but ultimately gives up a guy who runs away but is punched rather easily by DiNozzo. The matón says he found the card... where he found it turns out to be where the good lieutenant is buried under a small pile of sand. Apparently the killer posed as Evans to gain access to the ship.
Gibbs and Vance brief the captain of the Seahawk about the intruder. While the captain is told to do the impossible by discreetly smoking out the perp, Vance tells Gibbs and Ziva to join DiNozzo in Cartagena.
In the lab, Abby and McGee determine the fake Evans went to great lengths to cover his tracks, then the two Abbot and Costello about the snot. Abby longs for DiNozzo as McGee gains access to hard drives. Looks like spending four months in the sub-basement pays off after all!
The gang arrives at the morgue. Ziva works her charms to distract the mortician long enough for DiNozzo to look at the report. Turns out the real Evans died of blunt force trauma resulting in the nasal bone penetrating the brain, the very same way his wife died. Abby and McGee call Gibbs to tell of emails traded from the faux Evans and a Singapore gal with talks of anthrax? This just got a bit more interesting.
The gang arrives on the ship with an immediate debriefing from the Captain. He gives Gibbs 12 hours to complete the investigation before he blows the lid on the whole operation.
Gibbs asks the officer of the deck about why she let faux Evans on board, and she's adamant that she did not make a mistake. Of course, how is she supposed to remember one guy from 5,000+ officers? Exactly.
Turns out, the gang think Kaplan may be the man, but they find him rushed to sick bay in a medically induced coma. Whoever the killer is, he's making quite the effort to cover all the tracks, even if it means pumping a key witness full of morphine. Meanwhile, Abby calls Gibbs to say the killer had the flu, a Samoan flu.
McGee attempts to hack the Seahawk, and figures out (with Abby) to use a logic bomb. The gang does the same on the ship. They finally narrow the killer to sick bay, but turns out he's on the Medevac trying to escape. Gibbs makes it to the deck to find the Poor Man's Heath Ledger trying to escape. Gibbs orders the plane launched because he knows the suspect isn't seated with his tray table and seat back in its upright and locked position.
After the excitement dies down, Gibbs tells DiNozzo to pack his bags as he's returning to DC, which prompts him to run through the ship like we saw in the open. Good for him.
Back home, Vance tells Gibbs the split up wasn't punishment. But of course, it's never punishment when you tear apart what works. The important thing is that the band is back together.
Next time on NCIS, will Gibbs choose friendship over country?
Now that the whole team is back in DC, can we get the show back on track? Or was it ever not off track to begin with? Share your thoughts!

Department Life Science Year 2006 Semester 2 Degree Master Type of Document Master's Thesis Language English Title Roles of insulin receptor substrates in the action of green tea (-)-epigallocatechin gallate on insulin-stimulated growth of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes Date of Defense 2007-07-12 Page Count 41 Keyword EGCG insulin Abstract Obesity is a common disease, and it was associated with risk of cancer, diabetes, hypertention, and cardiovascular disease. Development of obesity results from increases in the cell number and fat accumulation of adipocyts, and is regulated by endocrine and nutritional factors. Insulin regulates mitogenesis and adipogenesis of fat cells and stimulates lipogenesis and inhibits lipolysis. By contrast, green tea catechins (once called vitamin P), especially (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), inhibits proliferation and differentiation of fat cells and induces the apoptosis of preadipocytes and adipocytes. EGCG has been proposed as a chemopreventative for obesity and diabetes. However, relatively little is known about the mechanism of the action of EGCG on insulin-stimulated fat cell function. This study was designed to investigate the pathways of EGCG's modulation of the insulin-stimulated mitogenesis of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. EGCG decreased insulin-induced increases in levels of phospho-insulin receptor (pIR), phospho-insulin receptor substrates 1, 2, and 3 (pIRS1, 2, and 3), phospho-Raf1, phospho-MEK1/2, and phospho-Erk1/2 proteins and induced further insulin-decreased pIRS4 level. In addition, EGCG reduced the insulin-stimulated associations of IR with IRS1 and IRS2. EGCG also reduced the association of IRS proteins with downstream signaling proteins. Besides, pretreatment with 67-kDa laminin receptor could antagonize the effect of EGCG on insulin-induced pMEK1/2 and pIRS2. These data suggest that EGCG exerts its antimitogenic effects via inhibiting insulin signaling by the 67-kDa laminin receptor-dependent pathway. Moreover, EGCG was more effective than epicatechin, epicatechin gallate, and epigallocatechin in changing the insulin-stimulated mitogenic signals. Results of this study may relate to the mechanism by which EGCG modulates insulin-related preadipocytes. Table of Content Abstract Ⅰ

Recent research
In March 2014 NCH commissioned YouthSight, an independent youth research agency, to conduct research into the academic experiences of NCH students. The survey was based on annual research YouthSight conduct for HEPI with c14000 students at public universities in the UK. Using the NCH results and data collected on behalf of HEPI, YouthSight were able to directly compare the academic experience of NCH students with students studying Humanities/Social Sciences at Russell Group universities in 2014. HEPI were informed that this research took place.
The statistics show (percentage in brackets reflects HEPI results for those studying humanities and social sciences at Russell Group universities):
63 per cent of students at New College of the Humanities say that their university experience has exceeded their expectations. (2014: 28 per cent/ 2013: 32%)
Contact time:
New College of the Humanities students experience an average of 13.8 hours of contact time per week. (2014: 9.85/ 2013: 9.93)

Pupils in all the nation's primary and junior secondary schools will now receive instructions on food and drug safety education as a way of equipping them with the knowledge on the use, misuse and abuse of products.
Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Educational Research and Development Council (NERDC), Prof. Godswill Obioma made this known while speaking in Lagos on the need to bring this new subject area into the Basic Education Curriculum (BEC).
The exercise is being carried out by NERDC, which is the nation's curriculum developer, in collaboration with the National Agency for Food, Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC).
According to Obioma, topics on food and drug safety education are to be infused into relevant subjects at the basic school level, including Basic Science and Technology, which encompasses Information Technology and Physical /Health Education; Pre-Vocational subjects under which we have Home Economics and Agriculture; Religion and National Values made up of Social Studies, Civic and Security Education.
Business and English studies are the other subjects that could conveniently carry food and drug safety elements, says Obioma, adding that the food and drug safety contents are to be infused into these carrier subjects beginning with Primaries 1 - 6 and JSS 1 - 3 and will subsequently be introduced into senior secondary school level.
His words: "The infusion exercise is important because it has to do with safeguarding public health and stimulating behavioural change on health issues especially among school children. It has been noted that lack of awareness of unsafe products is a major factor in health issues.
NAFDAC has the mandate of regulating and controlling the manufacture, importation, exportation, sale and use of food, drugs and other products. To achieve the objectives and mandate of NAFDAC, one of the effective tools to use is the curriculum".
With the planning and writing workshop for introdction of food and drug safety education already done last week jointly by NERDC and NAFDAC, the teaching of the new subject is expected to begin in primary and junior secondary schools nationwide by September, 2012 when the implementation of the newly revised BEC is slated to commence.
Specialists in the various relevant subjects who participated in the workshop studied available literature on food and drug safety, then they selected appropriate themes, topics and contents that would be infused into the basic curriculum through the identified carrier subjects, they identified the levels that each topic will fit into, and finally they developed the appropriate performance objectives, content, teacher and pupils' activities as well as teaching and learning resources and evaluation guide for each topic selected.
When the teaching of the food and drug safety commences, pupils are to learn topics such as identification, sources, implications of taking fake, counterfeit and substandard food and medicines to enhance the well-being of the citizenry and the economy of the nation. They will also be exposed to the roles of the consumers, distributors and manufacturers of food and drugs.

Notes & Reviews:
Wagner's early masterpiece is heard in an authoritative, truly classic performance from the composer's own theater in Bayreuth, Germany, the shrine and Mecca of the true Wagnerite. Some of the greatest singers of the era lead the cast, including Canadian-American bass baritone George London (1920-1979), the first American ever to sing the Dutchman at Bayreuth; Leonie Rysanek (1926-1998); and German bass Josef Greindl (1912-1993). The opera was inspired by Wagner's reading of a book by Heinrich Heine, Edward Fitzball's 'The Flying Dutchman or Phantom Ship', and Wilhelm Hayff's 'Geisterschiff (Ghost Ship), as well as his own perilous sea voyage in 1839. 'Der fliegende Hollander' is one of the most vivid and colorful of all German Romantic operas, with music that is often hair-raising and exciting. This masterful performance has long been considered one of the most thrilling ever recorded.
