- Cilla Black, the legendary English singer and TV star, has died at her home in Spain, according to local police. She was 72 years old.

From bottom to 11th: Crystal Palace's incredible turnaround under Tony Pulis [Graphic]
- April 17, 2014
- Comments0
'Crystal Pulis' (Palace) have had an incredible turnaround under Tony Pulis.
Since taking over from Ian Holloway in November 2013, when they were rooted to rock bottom with just 7 points, Tony Pulis has guided Palace out of relegation, and taken them right up to 11th spot, sitting pretty on 40 points with 4 games to spare.
After all the eyes rolling at Pulis' appointment, the Palace board have clearly been vindicated with their bold choice.

GTA IV gets more gamers online than ever before
It is no secret that Grand Theft Auto IV has been smashing some serious records since its release, and new figures released by ISP PlusNet suggest the game's online presence is as strong as its shelf presence.
At one point, more than 90,000 people (one-third of its broadband customers) were gaming online.
Gaming traffic surged on 30 April, the day after the game's release release, with a 50% increase compared to the day before. In fact, the period between 9-10pm that day was the second busiest the company had ever seen.
Neil Armstrong, PlusNet products director, said: "The demand to play Grand Theft Auto IV online has been absolutely phenomenal. Broadband usage figures have gone through the roof as customers battle it out on the streets of Liberty City".
The unprecedented demand began after the game's UK release on midnight 28 April.
PlusNet also witnessed an increase in gaming traffic of up to 35% between 4.00-7.00am on 30 April over the previous Wednesday as excited fans stayed up all night to play.
"Grand Theft Auto IV has captured the imagination of gamers in a way not previously seen", added Neil. "We believe that if this has happened to us then it will be a similar story with other ISPs."

The market opened a third Portland store in the Cedar Mill neighborhood this year; a Bend outpost broke ground in March. A fourth Portland location is slated for the inner southeast "LOCA" development, a mixed-use project featuring condos and retail. Revenues in 2014 were $175 million, a double-digit increase over 2013. CEO Rick Wright discusses growth, market trends and how he keeps new "foodie" grocery clerks happy.

Now, here's a project that sounds pretty good. MGM is in early discussions with Denzel Washington to star and Antoine Fuqua to direct The Magnificent Seven, a remake of the 1960 John Sturges-directed film. The talks are early stage, but if you get those two committed, it won't be hard to get six other guys to round out the cast in the story of a town that assembles a squad of seven elite gunmen to protect it. Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen, and Charles Bronson were part of the ensemble cast of the original, which was released by United Artists and is a library title for MGM. The revived studio has coveted a remake for some time, originally developing a version for Tom Cruise. Nic Pizzolatto, who went on to write and exec produce HBO's True Detective, wrote a draft and John Lee Hancock came on to rewrite »

"Your senses will come alive, here at this magical forest cabin... the earthy scent of pine, the tuneful sounds of birds, the warm colors of wildflowers! An amazing escape from the hustle-bustle, it will stay with you for a long time to come. The owners have created a very special and unique woodland experience for others to share :)"Guest: Bob and Nan Date of Stay: September 2014 Review Submitted: September 24, 2014View listing
"Had the pleasure to stay at Michael and Ellen's house for a couple of days this April. The house had everything that I would have ever needed and their description of the house and the amenities was spot on. The kitchen was well appointed. Bed was very, very comfortable. TV and internet worked like a charm. My dog, Sadie, loved running around in the fenced area and smelling the flowers, owners were very, very easy to work with and available for any questions. Would recommend Michael and Ellen's house to anyone looking for a comfortable house very close to downtown Prescott."Guest: Nancy H. Date of Stay: April 2015 Review Submitted: April 30, 2015View listing
"We spent a week in this "spotless" 5 Star "Log-Cabin" in late June. The cabin is wonderful and totally decorated in the "mountain motif". Excellent floor plan, huge outside deck while super livable. Access to the four boats is an added plus as this cabin backs-up to the White Mountain Lake. Dawn, the owner was easily accessible via email any time during our stay and before. To future guests, please be aware that access to the Lake is tricky from the cabin as you must descend a rather steep path to a very small rocky area at waters edge. Also the elevation at the cabin is 5,700 feet, 700 feet lower than that of Showlow proper ... thus the vegetation is quite different than Showlow, there are no natural Ponderosa Pine around this Lake, only smaller Cyprus."Guest: SMA Date of Stay: June 2015 Review Submitted: July 8, 2015View listing

It felt so typical that Eelco Boswijk might have scripted it himself - some jazz and classical guitar, lots of laughter, a little raw emotion, a significant artwork and a touch of Dutch pride, all to honour the man who turned a Nelson coffee house into a legend.
Mr Boswijk's memorial service at Old St John's in Hardy St on Saturday drew a full house, perhaps 500 people, many of them old and loyal patrons of Chez Eelco, the business he began in 1961 and left in 2000.
The old church, owned by his son, Eelco Jr, and daughter-in law, Ali Boswijk, has had a new start as a performance venue. In a touch that Mr Boswijk would have smiled at, it is also where he married the minister's daughter, his former wife, Christine - who later revealed to Saturday's crowd that she had swooned when she first laid eyes on him in his dress trousers and cummerbund behind the counter on opening day at "the Chez".
A private funeral had been held for Mr Boswijk, who died on March 16, aged 84, but on Saturday he was present in one sense - a large portrait of him by Sir Tosswill Woollaston, the first exhibit in the coffee house's gallery - took centre stage, flanked by the Dutch flag, a pair of clogs, some memorabilia from his home province of Friesland and a can of Chez Eelco mussel soup.
There was a party atmosphere from the beginning, when jazz musicians Gabor Tolnay, Simon Williams and Chris Cowles, members of the Nelson group Out on Bail, played as people took their seats. Later Miles Jackson, who performed at the Chez Eelco with his wife, Margaret, for 12 years, played the anonymously composed Romance on his guitar. It was the word that came to mind when he thought about what to play at the service, he said.
There were moments of sadness as old friends and family members took turns to speak but, overall, it was what master of ceremonies Philip Woollaston said had been intended: a celebration.
"You couldn't know Eelco without having your life changed - and changed for the better," Mr Woollaston said. "That was very true for the whole Nelson community and the city - Eelco just changed it by being here and doing his thing."
Two of Mr Eelco's oldest friends who also emigrated from Holland, Henk Jacometti and Karel Adriaens, spoke of their early years together and their enduring friendship.
One of the first Chez Eelco staff, Raewyn Henelius, recalled the queues that formed on Friday and Saturday nights, the exhibitions by local artists, the jazz and the enormous fun of working there.
"People would fall in love there and hold hands - instead of celebrating a tryst over a glass of wine as happens today, it was always over good coffee."
Arch Barclay talked of the years when an audience limited to 50 would cram into the gallery for performances of one-act plays and solo shows by the members of Nelson's Garrick Theatre.
"The cream on the cake was the half-time bonus, when Eelco contributed coffee and chocolate eclairs to audience and cast, all part of the door charge. He was the most generous person I could recall."
Mr Woollaston read a tribute from World of WearableArt founder Suzie Moncrieff, who said Mr Boswijk did not hesitate to write a cheque for $1000 so the first show could go ahead 27 years ago. He was a man of great vision, with a colourful and generous personality, she said. "Thank you for believing in my crazy dream."
It was Mr Boswijk's former wife who hinted at the private man behind the public persona.
"When your teen years are stolen by war, when the Germans occupy the best rooms in your home, when your father is taken to a concentration camp for not betraying his Jewish patients and your sister at 17 is working with the Underground, what holds a young life together and where do you find solace?"
Arriving in New Zealand by flying boat, Mr Boswijk had set about living his dream, developing a philosophy with an indifference to reality or seriousness, a mistrust of "isms and isations" and an urge to find the freedom of his lost years.
Chez Eelco had become a stage where everyone who walked through the door could become both actor and audience, Ms Boswijk said.
"He provided the props, and Fellini couldn't have done it better. Through music, theatre, exhibitions, chess and an open-door policy, the plot changed seamlessly according to those taking part, a dynamic that continued virtually round the clock, starting with the early morning cleaners until the streets emptied and he would wend his way home."
For Eelco Boswijk life was for living, and money was "merely a vehicle for things to happen".
"Eelco, the public figure, loved or not, became a community icon in this town, and was awarded medals for living the life he believed in, but at what cost to himself?" Ms Boswijk said.
"For to embrace so many, to spread so thin, aloof, loved, but difficult to reach for those closest to him, especially his family, imbued him with a loneliness, a kind of depletion."
He had lifted her eyes away from small-mindedness, she said, and gave her the gift of their children, "shaped not only by his DNA but more importantly by his ability to look beyond the surface of life . . . to make things happen, to make dreams come true, to jump into life and reach for the safety equipment later".
"The children talk of a childhood where you never knew who would be in the shower before you or who would be sitting at the kitchen table when you came down to breakfast. For him it was all an adventure, all fun."
Mr Boswijk's godson, Barney Geerligs, raised a laugh from the mourners by noting that he had not been "the best of godfathers . . . He did not bring me up in the ways of the church, and for that I'm very grateful."
Speaking afterwards, one of the first wave of artists to exhibit at the Chez Eelco and a friend since, Geoff Heath, said it was exactly the occasion that Mr Boswijk would have wanted.
"This is superb acknowledgement of how he's contributed. He was the hub of Nelson." "

Hrithik Roshan considers grandpa lucky
Last Updated: Wednesday, October 9, 2013 - 08:34
Mumbai: Hrithik Roshan comes from a film family and considers his grandfather, filmmaker J.Om Prakash, his lucky mascot.
It was his grandfather who had called the first shot for his debut film 'Kaho Na... Pyaar Hai', which turned out to be a huge success at the Box Office.
So the 39-year-old, who is eagerly waiting for the release of his superhero film, 'Krrish 3', insisted that his grandfather give the first clap for this one too.
"Hrithik hopes that this time also he is accepted by the audience as he has been in the past," said a source close to the actor.

YouTube presents new features
28 June 2014 [12:10] -
YouTube has revealed plans for several new features, including the ability for channel owners to make money by soliciting donations from their fans.
YouTube Fan Funding will be tested soon with a limited number of channels in the US, Mexico, Japan and Australia, with YouTubers in those countries able to apply for a space on the test scheme.
"Fans will be able to contribute money to support your channel at any time, for any reason," explained a blog post by YouTube execs Matthew Glotzbach and Oliver Heckmann following its announcement at the VidCon conference in Anaheim.
The new feature will make YouTube a rival for crowdfunding services including Kickstarter and Indiegogo, although its tip-jar structure makes it more of a direct competitor to Patreon, the US startup that recently raised $15m to help YouTubers and other artists raise money from fans.
The company has also launched an Android app for YouTubers called YouTube Creator Studio, which they can use to access their statistics, respond to comments and get notifications on how their channels are performing. YouTube says it will also launch for iOS in the near future.
YouTube's burgeoning community of gamers are the focus for another new feature: support for videos at up to 60 frames per second.
"Your video game footage with crazy high frame rates will soon look as awesome on YouTube as it does when you're playing, when we launch support for 48 and even 60 frames per second in the coming months," explained the blog post.
The 100 most popular games channels on YouTube generated nearly 3.5bn video views in May alone, according to recent research from Tubefilter and OpenSlate, so this new feature will be widely welcomed.
YouTube is also planning to tap its community of more than 1bn viewers to provide translated subtitles for videos. "In the coming months, your fans will be able to submit translations in any language based on the subtitles or captions you've created, helping you reach even more viewers," explained Glotzbach and Heckmann.
Channels Barely Political, Fine Art-Tips, Got Talent Global and Unicoos are already testing the new user-generated subtitling. It matches a feature that has been available in some time in south-east Asian online video service Viki.
Other new YouTube features include more songs and now also sound effects in its licensed Audio Library for creators; plans to help them link to one another from within the descriptions on their videos; better annotations – or "Info Cards" – that will work across desktop, smartphones and tablets - and more ways for YouTubers to build playlists.
This follows announcements earlier in the month of a YouTube-branded music show on US satellite radio service SiriusXM, a larger video player on the YouTube website, and beefed-up messaging and commenting features on the service.
YouTube is also working on a subscription streaming music service to rival Spotify and Deezer, although the company has attracted strong criticism from independent labels over the way it's seeking to sign licensing deals for it.

Transcript of "Agroecology and Sustainable Development "
1. Agroecology and Sustainable DevelopmentFindings from the UN-led International Assessment of Agricultural Knowledge, Science and Technology for Development Agroecology provides a robust set of solutions to the environmental pressures and crises facing agriculture in the 21st century.Agroecology is the science behind sustainable agriculture.Drawing on the natural and social sciences, agroecology Ecologically-based management of agroecosystemsprovides a framework for assessing four key systems prop- supports resource conservation and sustainable pesterties of agriculture: productivity, resilience, sustainability management.and equity.Taking account of agriculture's multi-functionality, agroecol-ogy measures sustainability in terms of social, environmen-tal and economic impacts. Because these impacts are con-text-dependent, agroecology is a place-based, pragmaticscience, uniquely suited to delivering on the promise of pro-poor development.Agroecology combines scientific inquiry with indigenousand community-based experimentation, emphasizing tech-nology and innovations that are knowledge-intensive, lowcost and readily adaptable by small and medium-scale pro-ducers. These methods are considered likely to advancesocial equity, sustainability and agricultural productivity overthe long term.Agroecological farming encourages the cultivation of resil-ience and maintenance of healthy ecosystem function overreliance on external inputs such as synthetic chemical pes-ticides, fertilizers and fossil fuels that can have high energy,environmental and health costs.

Productive and ProfitableCommon assumptions that "alternative" or agroecologicalmethods are necessarily less productive than high-input con-ventional systems are incorrect. Farmers adopting agroeco-logical methods have produced equal and sometimes sub-stantially increased yields per unit area compared to thoseusing conventional methods in many parts of the world, al-though research challenges in specific crops and some agro-ecosystems remain.Benefits have been greatest for small-scale producers in re-source-limited areas of the tropics, i.e. in most developingcountries. An Essex University study of 286 resource-con-serving projects in 57 countries found that agroecologicalfarming achieved average production increases of 79% perhectare, with all projects achieving increased water efficiencyand 77% showing significant reductions in pesticide use.

Push-Pull System of Maize Pest Management in Africa The push-pull system of ecological pest management in Africa illustrates the productive, economic, food and livelihood security, health and environmental benefits of an innovative agroecological approach. Kenyan maize farmers have tripled their yields by intercropping maize with plants that deter pests and support pest predators. Farmers plant nitrogen-fixing legumes, such as silver leaf desmodium, that improve soil fertility while inducing 'suicide Push Pull germination' of seeds of the highly damaging Chemicals from Chemicals from Napier desmodium intercrop border rows attract parasitic weed, Striga hermontica. Napier grass repel moths moths to lay eggs and Sudan grass planted around field borders attract ("pull") stemborers away from the crop; stemborer larvae trapped inside the Napier grasses' sticky interior die. Meanwhile, molasses grass planted within the crop chemically repels ("pushes") stemborers away, while attracting a parasitic wasp of stemborer larvae. The inclusion of these grasses in the farming Desmodium Desmodium Napier grass Maize Maize Maize Napier grass system reduces synthetic pesticide use and can help augment livestock feed, providing families Source: www.push-pull.net with additional milk and meat for consumption or sale. Additional benefits include reduced run-off and soil erosion, enhanced soil fertility, improved food security and family nutrition, and increased household income. More than 12,000 farmers across eastern Africa have adopted the technology, with another 100,000 expected to do so over the next three years.

The number of years that a plot had been cultivated with agroecological methods also contributed positively to its ability to withstand and recover from the hurricane. The study also illustrates the capacity of farmer-based participatory research to provide significant amounts of highly relevant data: 40 NGOs, 99 farmer-technician teams and over 15,000 farmers collaborated to measure agroecological indicators in 360 communities from southern Nicaragua to eastern Guatemala. After analyzing the results from the study, agroecological and conventional farmers together designed strategies for participatory, sustainable reconstruction.

Chilling out buying some little souvenirs last weekend, we saw this tight ass Latina named Sara. Man, she looked like a star, so I had to go up and try to work that shit. After a quick meet, the rain started to pour down. We stepped to the side and she tried to leave on us, but she was to hot to let go so easily. From start to finish, this broad knew what she was doing. She made me come so fast, that I couldn't even get it up to her face!

Fashion brand Pringle of Scotland has incorporated laser-sintered nylon fabric into garments for its Autumn Winter 2014 collection, shown yesterday at London Fashion Week.
Pringle of Scotland collaborated with material scientist Richard Beckett to create a series of 3D-printed fabrics for the collection using selective laser sintering (SLS).
To produce textiles that could move like traditional cloths, Beckett chose specific machinery that could create the tiny nylon parts needed to keep the material flexible.
"I used an EOS Formiga P100 SLS system due to its ability to build at high definition, one of the few systems that would allow you to build such complex movable parts at this size," Beckett told Dezeen.
The printed sections were then handwoven into the knitwear through small hooks on the underside or stitched on top of the wool.
Bands of the material formed cuffs for jackets while larger elements created diamond-shaped Argyle patterns across pullovers and sleeveless tops.
3D-printed garments have previously appeared in Haute Couture fashion collections by designers such as Iris van Herpen and a bespoke garment for Dita Von Teese, but Pringle of Scotland claims that this is the first time the technology has been used for ready to wear.
"I wanted to explore a move away from the more sculptural costume approach of such pieces, towards a more material, haptic-based approach," said Pringle of Scotland head of design Massimo Nicosia.
The Autumm Winter 2014 collection was presented during this season's London Fashion Week, which concludes tomorrow.

Are You a Lobbyist? Maybe, According to New Broward County Ethics Ordinance
A potential lobbyist
A town council member in Southwest Ranches has refused to talk to his constituents about town matters, citing a new ethics ordinance that was approved last Tuesday night by the Broward County Commission.
Monday night would not work for me. I have a non-town commitment on that night. However, there is now a bigger issue. I am not sure if you have read about the ethics ordinance that was passed on first reading by the Broward County Commission on Tuesday evening. Basically they have defined a lobbyist as someone that wants to discuss a town issue, whether they are compensated or not. Therefore, basically all residents, if they wish to discuss ANY issue, other than something that only individually affects them, as a lobbyist. Before the conversation takes place, the lobbyist will need to register as a lobbyist and pay the lobbyist fee. (emphasis added) It is insanity!
No resolution has been adopted. It has no force. So, you can meet with us.Further, we are NOT lobbyists, we are resident taxpayers seeking redress of our local government. We will NEVER register as lobbyists so that we can discuss town issues with a direct impact on us. This is a continued assault on the democratic process and open government. I will not stand for this.
"Elected officials should avoid even the appearance of impropriety in their interaction and dealings with lobbyists... To promote full and complete transparency, lobbyists... who intend to meet or otherwise communicate with an Elected Official for the purpose of engaging in lobbying activities... must legibly complete a contact log..."
"Lobbying... means a communication, by any means, from a lobbyist to a covered individual regarding any item that will foreseeably be decided by a final decision making authority..."Lobbyist means a person who is retained, with or without compensation, for the purpose of lobbying... 'Lobbyist' does not include a person who is... an individual who communicates on his or her own behalf..."

Christina Aguilera Jokes About Nashville Success: 'I'm Finally Beating Blake at Something'

Christina Aguilera is loving the fact that she is one step ahead of fellow Voice coach Blake Shelton.
"I'm finally beating Blake at something. It's amazing and awesome, but you know, I'm milking every second of it," Aguilera, 34, told reporters at the The Voice Spring Break Concert on Thursday.
Though not exactly ahead on The Voice, the "Beautiful" singer recently took the No. 3 position on the iTunes Top 100 Country Songs chart for "Shotgun," a song that was featured on ABC's Nashville this week, pushing Shelton's "Sangria" down to the No. 4 spot.

Who's Christina Aguilera's Pick for The Voice's Frontrunner?
Originally posted 04/14/2015 07:30PM
You might expect that Christina Aguilera would pick one of the Voice contestants from her team as this season's singer to beat. But when asked, Aguilera first singled out Sawyer Fredericks, who's on Pharrell Williams' team, as one of the top talents.
"I've been very open about the fact that I've been a huge fan of Sawyer since day one. He's just definitely a frontrunner outside of my team," Aguilera said in a press conference for The Voice this week. "But other than my team, because I've got to route for them first, I think Sawyer is definitely a stand out."
Aguilera, 34, immediately afterward sang the praises of some of her own team members, whom she described with the words "winners," "focused," and "soulful."

The church bells were chiming 9 AM as Dave, Becca, and I rode out of the parking lot. We headed south on Route 13 from New Prague, with only a light breeze from the north.

Thanks Caryl for the trip down memory lane (I can't remember where I was yesterday never mind 38 years ago) but I do remember "Pleasant Bay" and I'm glad that we have given you something to remember us by for all these years...we will definitely talk that over when we see you and Richard.
In Retrospect...The Players
... what makes us so close...what makes us seem to pick up right where we left off. Theories include the fatalistically simple "being at the right place at the right time", to the analytical "immersion in the culture" in Islamabad and being "risk takers" who threw all into friendships while knowing that moments together would last for maybe two years depending on our parent's postings, to the psychological "never having grown up and never being understood", to the zen "golden ...

High school girls soccer: Mountain View stuns Timpview in 4A first-round shootout
PROVO — Two halves weren't enough. Neither were two additional overtimes. Nor were the first five rounds of a shootout. Timpview, the No. 2 seed from Region 8, and Mountain View, the No. 3 seed from Region 7, remained deadlocked in the first round of the 4A girls soccer tournament.
After both teams scored on four of five shots in the ensuing shootout, the Bruins finally had an opportunity to prevail after Timpview's 10th shot sailed high and ricocheted off the crossbar. McKenna Wiscombe, who had only scored one goal all season, calmly approached the box. The whistle blew; she baited right and fired left.
Game over.
With Wiscombe's decisive kick, Mountain View (9-8-0) shocked the Thunderbirds in the shootout, 8-7, after the match had finished in a 0-0 draw. The shootout victory ended Mountain View's three-game postseason losing streak as the Bruins advanced to the second round for the first time since 2007.
"It's exciting. We haven't won a playoff game in probably six years. We've gotten to the playoffs, but we haven't won in a long time," Mountain View coach Sara Atuaia said. "It was hard-fought both ways; I think it was pretty evenly matched.
"We've been practicing PKs all week," Atuaia continued. "We knew it could come down to this, so that practice paid off today. A lot of nerves to get through it. Shoot, when the crowd is cheering, 'Choke' — ahh!"
Timpview (11-4-2) took a 3-2 advantage during the PKs, but Mountain View goalkeeper Natalie Hall immediately followed with a diving block to the lower-left corner on the ensuing attempt. Tied 5-5 in the second session, both Hall and Timpview 'keeper Daryl Kaufusi recorded consecutive saves before Wiscombe's game-winner.
"You try and prepare the girls as best as you can, but when it comes down to it they've got to be the ones that get their nerves in check and you're over there biting your nails," Atuaia said. "I could hardly watch at times, especially when we would miss. It was very nerveracking to watch your team go through PKs, and it's so hard to lose on PKs. You never really want it to go to that, but it's the way soccer is played."
The Bruins made critical adjustments after falling in the second week of the season to the Thunderbirds, 3-0.
"We tried to put more pressure on their backline. I changed a formation a little bit. The first time we played them we didn't get good looks on net," Atuaia said. "So, I tried to match them up a little defensively better so we could get more pressure. We tried to get them one-on-one.
"I think just playing them once we got a feel for their style of play — I think the second time we were more prepared. Also a few girls that didn't play the first game were back from vacation. I think with some starters we had back and having played was a benefit. That helped us."
