SwayMarkets was a mobile infrastructure startup dedicated to bringing transparency to wireless network performance and increasing the value of all products delivered through mobile platforms. Located in Cambridge, MA, the company was founded in October 2011 and closed its doors after selling its core technologies in mid 2013.
The company created ultra-high density insight into user-perceived wireless network performance within and across native mobile applications. This was done through a software development kit (SDK) and API allowing developers to create truly bandwidth-responsive designs leveraging real-time network assessments and predictive analytics. The data sourced from this SDK powered an analytics platform offering crowdsourced service quality monitoring (SQM), competitive benchmarking, and customer experience intelligence with unprecedented scope & precision and at a fraction of the cost of existing solutions.
The company's founders, Andrew Johnston and Amos Epstein, can be reached as follows:
All members of the October '12 and November '12 SDK beta groups have been updated with migration & contact details. While all recent versions of the SDK (3.0.0 and above for iOS, 2.1.0 for Android) will remain fully functional, your platform login credentials were updated on 2013.02.15 and you have likely already noticed small changes to your dashboards.

Saudis hold anti-regime demonstrations
Thu Aug 16, 2012 6:55AM
According to Human Rights Watch, the Saudi regime ''routinely represses expression critical of the government."On Monday, Sweden's Defense Minister Karin Enstrom criticized the violation of human rights in Saudi Arabia, describing the kingdom as "an authoritarian regime and an absolute monarchy, where serious human rights crimes are committed." Since February 2011, protesters have held demonstrations on an almost regular basis in Saudi Arabia, mainly in Qatif and Awamiyah in Eastern Province, primarily calling for the release of all political prisoners, freedom of expression and assembly, as well as an end to widespread discrimination. However, the demonstrations have turned into protests against the repressive Al Saud regime, especially since November 2011 when Saudi security forces killed five protesters and injured many others in the province.

Redemptorists remember Romano-A A +A
Saturday, July 12, 2014
THE Redemptorist Community in Cebu commemorated the 29th anniversary of the disappearance of Fr. Rudy Romano through a holy mass at the Redemptorist Church last Friday afternoon.
The mass was headed by Bishop Ireneo Amantillo, with the homily delivered by Fr. Cruz Manding.
In his homily, Fr. Manding said Fr. Romano served the poor and fought for justice during Martial Law.
He said people should be humble and strong in following the Lord in times of persecution and condemnation.
He said there was a time when the Redemptorists were called "Redempterrorists" for taking the side of the poor and the oppressed during Martial Law.
In an article written by Archbishop of Cebu Jose S. Palma for CBCP, he stated that Fr. Romano took the side of the poor while denouncing injustice and social inequality, and his living out of his vocation as a pastor and his legacy of deep commitment to the Gospel are still alive today.
Palma said that if Fr. Romano were still alive today, he'd be celebrating his golden anniversary as priest.
Fr. Romano was a Redemptorist missionary priest who was kidnapped allegedly by military men on July 11, 1985.
A native of Villareal, Samar, he was one of the many priests who fought for freedom and justice during the Marcos regime. (Franz Correa, USJ-R Mass Com Intern)

While Samsung has become the world leader in sales for the
current crop of high-definition televisions, Sony (NYSE:
), LG and other corporations are betting heavily on the next
generation. Known as Ultra HD TVs, these new sets provide a
resolution of 3,840 x 2,160 -- four times that of the current HD
resolution (hence original "4K" moniker). Sony is selling its first
Ultra HD set -- which includes an Xperia Tablet S to use as a
remote -- for
. LG's model is a tad cheaper,
retailing for $19,999
Few consumers will buy a TV that retails for as much as a car.
However, the entire HDTV industry started with overinflated prices.
Now that that MSRP has dropped to a more reasonable range, many
consumers have made the switch. By 2016, Strategy Analytics
believes that Ultra HD TVs will have infiltrated 10 million
"Our UHD forecast has been released and we are projecting ten
million homes worldwide owning a UHD TV by 2016," Strategy
Analytics analyst David Mercer wrote on the
company's blog
. "We're looking forward to seeing the first wave of these products
and some great 4K content next week in Vegas."
Mercer's analysis does not include the possibility that Apple
) will release a high-end TV over the next few years. Trip
Chowdhry, the Managing Director of Equity Research at Global
Equities Research, believes that a Retina Display TV would cost
at least $25,000
To keep the costs down, many analysts believe that Apple will
not build a TV with the largest resolution possible. This would be
a vastly different strategy from its mobile devices, which are
gradually receiving the addition of a Retina Display.
However, Apple's largest devices -- including the iMac and the
27-inch Cinema Display -- are still without the Retina
Morgan Stanley's Katy Huberty expects Apple to employ a similar
strategy when it launches its first television. She estimates that
the Mac maker could sell
13 million units
at $1,060 each. These sales would occur in America alone; she did
not provide any expectations for global sales.
It is not yet known how an Apple-made TV could affect the future
of Ultra HD sales. Apple historically builds premium products, so
it is difficult to believe that the company will not release a
large Retina Display within the next few years. In the meantime,
however, anyone who buys a low-res Apple TV set will be less likely
to buy a high-res model -- or an Ultra HD TV -- tomorrow. Unlike
smartphones, TVs are not throwaway devices.
This could alter the transition that analysts expect to occur as
consumers replace and/or upgrade their existing TVs.

Dean Of Students
The Judicial Process
Muhlenberg College students are both citizens and members of an academic community. As citizens they enjoy the same constitutional freedoms as other citizens and are subject to criminal and civil law. As members of the College community, however, they assume additional obligations. They bear a responsibility to preserve a collegiate environment which encourages the maximum development of their fellow students. All students of the College are expected to conduct themselves at all times in a mature and responsible manner. The rights and property of all persons are to be respected regardless of time or place. Failure to comply with College, City, State or Federal laws and regulations can result in disciplinary action by the College, as well as civil or criminal disciplinary action by a state or federal court. Muhlenberg College reserves the right to hold students accountable for violations of the Social Code both on and off campus. The Social Code applies to both individuals and groups, and in the event that an incident occurs which clearly implicates a group of students or a student organization, the case may be considered corporate and each member of the group and/or the group itself may be held responsible. Infractions of this Social Code may be dealt with through administrative and/or judicial channels. Students are also advised that alleged violations of college policies including policies applicable to alcohol, illegal drugs and sex offenses are governed by the rules and procedures applicable to Social Code violations. For further information on the handling of disciplinary offenses and possible sanctions, please refer to the Rules and Procedures Governing Alleged Violations of Muhlenberg College's Social Code.
Members of the College's management staff, as well as a group of student volunteers, are trained to advise students and help them prepare for their judicial hearings. Judicial Advisors are knowledgeable about students' rights, the College's rules and procedures, and the hearing process. A Judicial Advisor may accompany and consult with students during their hearings, but they may not address the Hearing Board or participate in the hearing or appeals process. Students may select any member of the College Community (faculty, staff, student) to assist them as a Judicial Advisor. Although the Dean of Students Office encourages students to use a Judicial Advisor, no student is ever required to select or consult with one. If you wish to consult with a Judicial Advisor you may contact any of the following individuals:
College Managers
Kim Anderson, Development & Alumni Relations
Regina Bortz, Development & Alumni Relations
Kelly Cannon, Trexler Library
Alyssa Ellowitch, Admissions
Joe Hardenberg, Bookstore
Doyle Smith, Office of Information Technology

Jessica Swerdloff '11
Origin of Formal Judicial Complaints
Although most formal judicial complaints originate from Campus Safety & Security investigations and/or Residential Services Staff incident reports, any student, faculty, or staff member may file a formal complaint against any matriculated Muhlenberg College student or organization for alleged violations of the Social Code on or off campus (see Social Code). In addition, students are also subject to civil and criminal action by local, state, and federal courts. To file a formal judicial complaint, you must submit your complaint, in writing, to the Office of Campus Safety & Security. A complaint must include:
*Your name, address, and phone number
*Nature and date of alleged violation
*Name of person(s) or organization responsible for the alleged violation
*Detailed statement of the incident
Once a Complaint is Filed
The Office of Campus Safety & Security will investigate the alleged violation and refer the case to the Dean of Students Office for internal judicial action. The College's Judicial Officer determines whether the information is sufficient to allege a violation of the Social Code and issues a formal Notice of Charge letter. The Notice of Charge specifies to which hearing body the case has been referred, a description of the alleged violation, and information about scheduling the hearing.

Sibel Edmonds: The Traitors Among Us
Posted By admin On February 26, 2010 @ 2:57 pm In Big Brother,Old Infowars Posts Style | Comments Disabled
Brad Friedman
February 26, 2010
Sibel Edmonds, a former FBI translator, claims that the following government officials have committed what amount to acts of treason. They are lawmakers Dennis Hastert, Bob Livingston, Dan Burton, Roy Blunt, Stephen Solarz and Tom Lantos, as well as at least three members of George W. Bush's inner circle: Douglas Feith, Paul Wolfowitz and Marc Grossman. But is Sibel Edmonds credible?
"Absolutely, she's credible," Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) told CBS's 60 Minutes when he was asked about her in 2002. "The reason I feel she's very credible is because people within the FBI have corroborated a lot of her story." Edmonds's remarkable allegations of bribery, blackmail, infiltration of the U.S. government and the theft of nuclear secrets by foreign allies and enemies alike rocked the Bush Administration. In fact, Bush and company actually prevented Edmonds from telling the American people what she knew—up until now.
John M. Cole, an 18-year veteran of the FBI's Counterintelligence and Counterespionage departments, revealed the panic of upper-echelon officials when Edmonds originally started talking back in 2002. "Well, the Bureau is gonna have to try to work something out with Sibel," Cole said an FBI executive assistant told him at the time, "because they don't want this to go out and become public."
But they couldn't "work something out with Sibel" because, it seems, she wasn't looking to make a deal. Edmonds says she was looking to expose what she believed to be the ugly truth about the infiltration of the U.S. government by foreign spies. They were enabled, Edmonds claimed, by high-ranking U.S. officials and insider moles planted at nuclear weapons facilities around the nation.

The supposedly anti-immigration ConDem regime has been embarrassed yet again, with the news that nearly nine in ten jobs created under their administration last year went to immigrants.
Serial liar David Cameron's pledge to cut net immigration into Britain to "only" tens of thousands has been revealed as just the latest broken Tory promise with the news that the ConDem regime has already presided over a record rise in immigration.
By Maid of Kent – With plans announced on Monday of a proposed 'clampdown' on distant relatives of immigrants being allowed to enter the UK temporarily for family reasons, David Cameron has unwittingly revealed the truth behind the 'official' immigration figures – and revealed that the British National Party has been right all along about the real numbers arriving in our country.
By Stephen Palmer – The cynical timing of David Cameron's fake anti-immigration speech has been further exposed by the simultaneous news that almost one in every eight people living in Britain today was born abroad.

April 30, 2009
By Hans A. von Spakovsky
Today, in Washington, Justice Department lawyers will tell the
Supreme Court that the South is still so permeated with racism that
it cannot be trusted to run its elections without prior approval --
from Justice Department lawyers. On those dubious grounds, they
will urge the Court to uphold Section 5 of the LBJ-era Voting
rights Act -- a "temporary/emergency" provision that is now 44
years old.
The case is Northwest Austin Municipal Utility District
Number One v.Holder. Lawyers for the district, population
about 3,500, will argue that Congress's 2006 renewal of Section 5
was unconstitutional; and if the justices base their decision
purely on the law and the applicable facts, they will agree. But
race is the eternal third rail of politics in Washington, and the
reaction to a finding that any portion of the Voting rights Act is
unconstitutional would be so fierce that the Court may shy away
from doing what it should.
The 1965 Voting rights Act contains two important, but
distinctly different, provisions. Section 2 prohibits the denial of
voting rights based on "race or color." It's a permanent,
nationwide provision. Section 5, however, was supposedly a
temporary measure that applied only to a small number of states
(most of them in the South). It provided that, if those covered
states wanted to enact any law that affected voting
in any way, they would have to get approval from the Justice
Department's Civil rights Division (or a federal court in
Washington, D.C.) before the law could take effect. Initially in
force for five years, Section 5 was renewed in 1970, 1975, 1982 and
then, in 2006, for another 25 years.
There's no question that Section 5 was legal and necessary in
1965, a time of fire hoses, police dogs, and bullhorns. Some state
and local governments were still systematically trying to prevent
blacks from voting, and they were creative in devising new ways to
discriminate. Section 5 effectively prevented these states and
localities from passing new legislation intended to get around
federal law and court orders.
To identify jurisdictions that would need to get their laws
pre-approved, Congress designed a formula: The jurisdiction must
have had a "test or device" (like a literacy test, or an
examination to certify "good moral character") that denied voting
rights, and have had less than 50 percent registration or turnout
in the 1964 election. As Section 5 was successively renewed, the
latter requirement was updated to reflect registration and turnout
rates in the 1968 and 1972 elections, but it has not been updated
This means that the nine fully covered states, and certain
specified localities in seven other states, still labor under
strict pre-approval requirements based on decades-old voting data.
In 2006 Congress refused to update the formula to reflect current
registration and turnout data. If it had, almost none of these
jurisdictions would have been covered. Turnout of black voters
equals or surpasses that of white voters in many of the covered
states, clear evidence that the "temporary/emergency" measure is no
longer needed and the widespread discrimination of 1965 is long
Race relations have changed dramatically in the last two
generations, especially in the South. In 1965 black elected
officials were virtually unknown in the covered states; today they
number in the thousands. In covered states such as Alabama,
Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, and South Carolina, 31 to
45 percent of Democratic state legislators are black. Of the ten
states with the largest number of black elected officials in 2001,
eight -- Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, Georgia, South Carolina,
North Carolina, Texas, and Michigan -- are covered fully or partly
under Section 5.
Over the years, objections to state election-law changes have
dwindled. The Civil rights Division receives thousands of
submissions -- such as measures to open new polling places -- every
year. Since 1965, the division has objected to only 1 percent of
all submissions. In the past ten years, the objections have run
about 0.2 percent.
Such a low rate can hardly justify continuing the extensive
intrusion into a state's lawmaking ability, particularly when you
consider the dubiousness of many of the division's objections: In
case after case, courts have overturned the positions taken by the
Civil rights Division.
What makes the situation even worse is that Section 5 reverses
the usual standard that requires the federal government to prove
discrimination. Instead, the submitting jurisdiction must prove
that its proposed change would not have a
discriminatory effect. That's a very tough standard that can be
made even tougher by opposition from partisan career lawyers at the
Civil rights Division. Too often they use Section 5 to try to stop
laws (for example, ones requiring voters to show ID) that they find
politically objectionable, while ignoring applicable legal
standards. Most covered jurisdictions don't have the resources to
fight the Civil rights Division, even when it is clearly in the
That is why organizations that serve minority groups love
Section 5. Unlike with Section 2, they don't have to prove a case
in court to stop redistricting plans or other legislation they
don't like; they just call their friends and former colleagues at
the Civil rights Division and tell them to object. More than one
court decision has noted the embarrassing and highly unethical
coordination between the Civil rights Division and such outside
Based on any reasonable statistical measure, the difference in
voter participation between covered and uncovered states has
disappeared. The "legislative record" developed by Congress in 2006
deliberately stayed away from exploring the differences in minority
office-holding rates and voter turnout between covered and
noncovered states -- because doing so would have shown there was no
basis for extending the law. Even the relatively small number of
voting-discrimination cases filed under Section 2 show the exact
opposite of what the proponents of Section 5 would like: More
Section 2 cases are filed in states that are not
covered under Section 5.
No one can truthfully assert that state governments in Virginia
and Georgia are still racist and full of defiant government
officials, particularly when compared with noncovered neighboring
states such as Pennsylvania and Tennessee. There is no difference
that justifies such an intrusive and extraordinary law.
Given all these developments, it should be easy for the Supreme
Court to make the right decision on this case. A renewal based on
40-year-old evidence that studiously ignored seismic changes in our
society, elections, and democratic institutions should not

courage to do what Congress did not: consider the applicable facts

First Appeared in National Review Online
Today, in Washington, Justice Department lawyers will tell the Supreme Court that the South is still so permeated with racism that it cannot be trusted to run its elections without prior approval - from Justice Department lawyers. On those dubious grounds, they will urge the Court to uphold Section 5 of the LBJ-era Voting Rights Act - a "temporary/emergency" provision that is now 44 years old.

Bush 41 Says 'Romney Best Choice'; 'I Like Perry'; 'Not an Advocate for Newt'
Reports: Less than two weeks before Iowa Republicans make their crucial caucus choices on the night of Jan. 3, George H.W. Bush offered words of support, if not an official endorsement, to an old friend, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.
"I think Romney is the best choice for us," former President Bush told the Houston Chronicle this week. "I like Perry, but he doesn't seem to be going anywhere; he's not surging forward."
Bush said he had known Romney for many years and also knew his father, George Romney, a former Republican governor of Michigan who ran for president in 1968.
Bush said he supported Romney because of his "stability, experience, principles. He's a fine person," he said. "I just think he's mature and reasonable – not a bomb-thrower."
Bush denied that the latter label implied that the candidate field includes any bomb-throwers.
"I've got to be a little careful, because I like Perry; he's our governor," he said.
Joe Householder, a Houston-based political consultant, said that with his not-an-endorsement statements, the former president probably was drawing a distinction for voters around the country who may not be aware of the historic antipathy between the Bush and Perry camps. In last year's Republican gubernatorial primary, with Perry seeking a history-making third term as governor, the Bushes endorsed U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas.
"Probably the unspoken assumption out there is that the Texan would support a Texan," Householder said. "But it's not really surprising, given the Bush-Perry relationship, that he wouldn't go for the governor. Plus, he's had a long relationship with Romney."
Bush's words of encouragement for the former Massachusetts governor also come at a time when the party establishment – of which Bush is the elder statesman – seems to be increasingly alarmed about the possibility that former Speaker Newt Gingrich might get the nomination.
Bush, as Householder noted, "still has significant influence among that sector of the party."

Prominent Nigerians, who have failed to make good their last November's pledges towards addressing the plight of flood victims, have been given up till June 30 this year to do so or have their names published in national newspapers and social media blogs.
Co-chairmen of the Presidential Flood Relief and Rehabilitation Committee – business mogul, Aliko Dangote, and a former President of the Nigerian Bar Association, Olisa Agbakoba, SAN, – issued this threat in a statement in Lagos on Tuesday.
It was learnt that many of the defaulters had been enjoying the tax incentives accompanying their pledges, while they have failed to fulfil their own part of the bargain.
In a statement titled 'Public Notice: Redemption of Pledges', the committee advised the defaulters to "respect themselves and maintain their honour and integrity", by promptly redeeming their pledges.
The statement read in part, "The Presidential Committee on Flood Relief and Rehabilitation expresses its profound gratitude and appreciation to all who answered the clarion call to be our brothers' keepers through their generous donations and pledges at its Fund Raising Dinner in November 2012, for the relief and rehabilitation of flood victims in Nigeria. We thank you immensely.
"As we proceed to the implementation stage of the planned rehabilitation projects, we hereby call on all those who have not redeemed their pledges to please do so on or before June 30, 2013, as a mark of honour and integrity, as names of defaulters will be announced in all national dailies and social media blogs.
"Once again, we thank you and look forward to receiving the proceeds of all pledges made."
President Goodluck Jonathan had, last October, set up a 34-man committee with the target of raising a sum of N100bn to provide reliefs for the flood victims.
At the fund-raising dinner held at the Presidential Villa on November 8, 2012, eminent citizens pledged about N11.35bn for the task.
The Federal Government and Dangote made the highest donation of N2.5bn, while co-founder and former Chief Executive Officer of Zenith Bank Plc, Jim Ovia, and former UBA Group Managing Director, Tony Elumelu, donated N1bn each.
Minister of Petroleum, Deziani Alison-Madueke, and her counterpart in the Telecommunications ministry, Omobola Johnson, had pledged to mobilise the indigenous oil companies and telecommunications firms, which were invited but were absent at the dinner, to also donate to the committee.
Jonathan had announced tax incentives for all corporate organisations that would donate to the committee as encouragement.

Some more Funny Jokes
- My wife went to the cinema with her friends last night and left me in charge of our two year old son. She called me when she got there and said, "Is Jack ok?" "He's absolutely fine," I replied, "He's in the bath at the moment, you've got nothing to worry about." "Is he playing with his little yellow duck?" she asked. I said, "I don't know, I can't see him from the pub."
- That awkward moment when you're plucking. "she loves me, she loves me not, she loves me, she loves me not"… and you run out of pubic hair

A moment later two Military Police from IRAQ ran up and asked, Sister, have you seen a soldier?' The lady replied, 'He went that way.' After the Military people ran off, the Pakistani soldier crawled out from under her skirt and said, 'I can't thank you enough Sister. You see, I don't want to go to Iraq..' The lady in burkha said, 'I understand completely.' The soldier added, 'I hope I'm not rude, but you have a great pair of legs!' The lady replied, 'If you had looked a little higher, you would have seen a great pair of balls as well…. I don't want to go to Iraq either.!!

China's BYD Aggressive on Lithium Battery and Hybrid Bus ProductionBy Cuong Huynh • Aug 26th, 2009 • Category: Clean Car Talk Daily Snapshots
Lithium Batteries
Chinese battery and electric automaker BYD Co. has set up a plant to mass produce lithium batteries for its electric cars in Huizhou, south China's Guangdong Province, according to the China Securities Journal.
BYD, partly owned by Warren Buffet, has injected around five billion yuan (about 731.5 million U.S. dollars) into the operation of the Huizhou plant, which produces rechargeable batteries, automobile parts and handset components, the newspaper Xinhua reported.
Facilities for the production of batteries for the company's electric cars are almost ready now, since construction began in September last year.
The Shenzhen-based company's F3DM, China's first plug-in hybrid, made its debut last December.
The Huizhou plant, the first eligible for mass production of lithium-ion batteries that are core technologies of BYD's electric cars, is seen as a key step in the company's electric car manufacturing. Source: xinhuanet.com
Hybrid Bus
In related news, on July 24, 2009, Shenzhen BYD Auto Company Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of BYD Company Limited, signed the Equity Transfer Agreement as transferee with Foshan Weishang to acquire the entire equity interests of Hunan Midea Coach for 60 million Yuan (US$ 8.8 million.)
Hunan Midea Coach, with its headquarters located in Hunan Environmental Protection Industrial Park, used to be a company engaged in the development, manufacture and sale of buses and coaches. After this acquisition, Shenzhen BYD Auto Company Limited will hold all the shares of Hunan Midea Coach and BYD Company Limited will be granted the permission by the government to manufacture buses and coaches.
BYD envisions entering into the new energy (hybrid and electric) bus field through this acquisition and plans to produce new energy buses in 2010. Furthermore, BYD will manufacture passenger vehicles in Hunan and plans to produce car models C3, C6, F2 and others.
This acquisition contributes to BYD's new energy bus manufacturing and marketing and further enhances its automobile production capacity.

Phoenix man gets prison time in plot to kill wife
PHOENIX — A Phoenix businessman accused of plotting to kill his wife over
a contentious divorce has been sentenced to eight years in prison.
Maricopa County prosecutors say 75-year-old Fred B. Knadler was sentenced
He pleaded guilty last month to attempted kidnapping.
Knadler is owner of Arizona Shower Door Inc.
He was arrested in January 2012 after he allegedly conspired with and paid one
of his employees to kill his wife and bury her body in the desert.
Phoenix police say Knadler allegedly wanted to avoid losing millions of dollars
in a divorce.
Investigators say Knadler allegedly gave the employee a cash down payment with
the promise of an additional $10,000 when the job was done plus an additional
$10,000 each year he maintained his silence.
The killing didn't occur.

If you haven't gone to Pinterest for inspiration—whether you're looking for beauty looks, recipe ideas, or DIY projects—it's time to. I recently found this glitter French manicure on a beauty board, and it was a cinch to copy.
Here's how to make your fingertips sparkle, just like mine.
Step 1: Clip and file nails to your liking, then push back cuticles with a rosewood stick. Tip: Soak hands prior to grooming cuticles to avoid tearing of the skin.
Step 2: Apply a base coat.
Step 3: Apply two coats of sheer pink polish like Essie Nail Polish in Ballet Slippers, which has hint of white to it.
Step 4: Once the base color is completely dry, dab a glittery top coat on the tips of your nails. For a less uniform finish, choose a glitter that has various sized flecks of sparkle. Try: Deborah Lippman Nail Lacquer in Happy Birthday.
Step 5: Let the first layer of glitter dry for a few minutes, then add a second coat. Tip: Turn the nail polish bottle upside down, and back upright, before swiping on the glitter. You'll get more flecks of glitter on the brush.
Step 6: Add as many glitter coats as desired, and finish with a top coat.

Adopt a Camera Trap
You can help researchers find and study wild clouded leopards in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo. Because these animals are so shy and reclusive, researchers must rely on costly camera traps to remotely document them. By adopting a camera trap you give our researchers a tool to better understand clouded leopard populations, movements, and behaviors.
Adopting a camera is a remarkable contribution to the conservation and study of clouded leopards. You can adopt one for yourself, a loved one, or as a class project. Share your photographs with others and share the experience of a real wild clouded leopard defender!
The Camera Trap Adoption package includes the following:
Exclusive wildlife photographs from YOUR camera
A Clouded Leopard Project photobook
Clouded Leopard Project Donor Certificate
And a Clouded Leopard Project T-shirt, plus

NEWPORT CITY – A man brandishing a handgun walked into the Behavioral Health Services (BAART*) building on Union Street in Newport City Tuesday morning and demanded methadone, a substance used to treat drug dependency. BAART runs the area methadone clinic but not at that location.
Police responded to the 911 call around 10:56 AM and advised area schools, the hospital and businesses to go into lockdown at 11:15 AM as a precaution.
ORLEANS–The Lake Region boys flexed their muscle on Tuesday night, easily defeating the Richford Falcons by the score of 66-43.
"I thought we held it out and the guys played well down the stretch," said LR coach James Ingalls. "We had our little places where we fell asleep for a while, but they worked well together."
Drew Gallup led the charge for the now 11-0 Rangers, scoring a team-high eighteen points.
The win keeps LRU in second place in Division II, tied record-wise with Vergennes, but trailing them in index points.
LYNDONVILLE - A southbound train at the Red Village Road Crossing on Route 5 in Lyndonville spilt a 51-foot trailer in half yesterday.
Clement Charbonneau, 54, of Coaticook, Quebec, was towing the trailer with a Freightliner when a car distracted him. By the time Charbonneau looked up, it was too late.
Train crew members Mark Fortin and Dana Cheney told police they were proceeding south when the driver of the semi drove in front of them.
Read the rest of this story in Wednesday's Newport Daily Express for Jan. 23, 2013.
DERBY - The Derby Select Board decided not to ask voters at Town Meeting about their opinion on wind turbines within the town. Instead, the board will wait and see what the legislature does and possibly mail out a survey to all taxpayers at a future date.
The legislature is considering a moratorium on further industrial wind development.
Monday, at the select board's regular meeting, the conversation with the public remained somewhat mild, but accusations of impropriety among Derby officials emerged.
NEWPORT – A man accused of sexually touching a minor child appeared in court Tuesday morning to answer a charge of lewd and lascivious conduct with a child.
Judge Howard VanBenthuysen released 32-year-old Craig Farrar of Newport on conditions after Farrar entered a plea of not guilty.
Jennifer Harlow, a detective with the Newport City Police, wrote in an affidavit that Renee Hamel from the Department for Children and Families met with a 42-year-old individual identified in court records as AC. The meeting took place Nov. 30, 2012.
BRATTLEBORO–Despite putting over twenty shots on net, the North Country girl's hockey team could only manage to score one goal in their 2-1 loss on Monday afternoon.
"We couldn't put anything in, and everything we did seemed to be off," said coach Claude Paul.
"We played down to their level and made another goalie look good."
Brattleboro would stake themselves a 2-0 lead, and they made it stand up for the entire game.
The lone Falcon goal came in the third period when Whitney Bernier scored, with assists going to Jenna Moss and Savannah Alberghini-Giroux.
ORLEANS–It wasn't easy, but the Lake Region girls were able to overcome a rough third quarter to pick up the 48-39 win over Lyndon Institute on Monday evening at the Don Harter Memorial Gymnasium.
"When we needed to, the kids gutted it out and picked up their intensity and did the things we had to do, said LRU coach Mark Tinker.
Kayla Jardine would lead all scorers with twenty points for 0-8 Lyndon, and Emily Lawson's twelve were tops for Lake Region.
Drew Neal was also in double digits with eleven for LRU, who improve to 6-2 on the season.
NEWPORT - The Secretary of the Agency of Transportation delivered bad news to the House and Senate Transportation Committees last week by projecting a shortfall in funds necessary over the next five years to preserve the state's transportation infrastructure to achieve "good" status.
A report created by the Committee on Transportation Funding estimates the state will require $698.3 million to provide the necessary funds to achieve a "good" repair status, which is much more than the $457 million in revenues that will be generated over the five-year period.
NEWPORT - Vermont's School Choice law, first enacted in 2000, has been amended this past legislative session to clarify capacity guidelines and set a uniform date to make annual capacity determinations.
Prior to the changes, a school district could establish formal agreements with area school districts to allow students to attend a school outside their home district. NCUHS has such an arrangement with both Canaan High School and Lake Region Union High School, allowing up to 15 students between the schools combined to transfer to North Country.
Today is both the U.S. Presidential Inauguration Day and the day honoring Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
All government offices are closed, including the post offices. Banks and schools are also closed.

This is a post somewhat in the nostalgic schizophrenic manner of a Twelve Days of Anime post, which while not quite where the flying saucers are from is alien enough to me. Due to (my) laziness it is compacted into one post. (Also there aren't twelve. Whatever.) Herein I list my favorite moments in anime from this year, and I should warn you that my tastes tend toward the sadistic. Most of these are in some way majorly depressing (in the context of the story or standalone), and of course contain massive spoilers.
5. Ookiku Furikabutte — Abe's Injury
This one is cheating somewhat since I read the manga ahead of time. But I love this one anyway. It's got everything you could want from a pivotal dramatic moment. There's foreshadowing and buildup, and at the same time you know it was bound to happen sooner or later, and that, really, Abe's getting injured or not wouldn't have made a difference in the match's outcome. They were going to lose, period. But that's getting off topic a bit, I think.
What I love here the most is how Abe himself reacts to this. You can tell he's hurting, but he won't admit it. Whether from pure stubbornness or because of the promise he made to Mihashi, the looks of despairing determination on his face is just perfect. Then of course there are the others' reactions (especially Mihashi's). While their teammate's injury does sadden them, they don't (or try not to) let that affect their game.
4. House of Five Leaves — Ichi Flipping Out
Not very much happens in this show, action-wise. Mostly people just talk; sometimes there's a kidnapping. But when it turns up the drama, it does it oh so well. In the last episode, there is a specific moment that really catches my attention. When Ichi is walking with Jin, right when Jin says the messenger's name wasn't Yaichi. Ichi's reaction is just wonderfully subdued, yet poignant. You can see what he's thinking by his facial expression (especially his eyes), without the writers having to telegraph them to you directly (like via the hated inner monologue). So when the normally reserved Ichi flips out, you understand.
But that one moment where you see Ichi just freeze is my favorite part.
3. The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya — The Stabbity Part
As much as I enjoy Kyon's earlier confrontation with Asakura, it's the bit at the climax of the movie that really gets me. Everything just clicks together—the music, the animation, the story, everything. Especially the music makes the scene. But it wouldn't be on this list without the proper reaction shot, and boy does Yuki's rank up there. Asakura's little impromptu dance bit adds its own charm. Seeing the quiet desolation on Yuki's face, hearing Mikuru's, it's all so wonderfully glorious. I could (and do) watch it again and again.
2. Katanagatari — Bang
Much like Oofuri above, this is a wonderful combination of the inevitable and the dramatic, only with much higher stakes. Katanagatari doesn't pull it's punches like other shows might, and its characters act rationally in the interests of their goals. It's so… rare. I wish it weren't so, but in many shows, scenarios only seem to have consequences, or sacrifices/losses are just temporary. (Look at the most recent Bleach chapters for some of the latter.)
But, no, it sticks, and Togame dies. Subarashii.
And finally, there's only one thing that can top all the rest:
1. Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt – Scanty and Kneesocks Walking down the Stairs
Episode six. The ghost factory. THOSE STAIRS. From the first syllable out of the demon sisters' mouths this scene is the epitome of fuckmazing. There's no other way to put it. Without a doubt this is the most dynamic walking-down-stairs sequence ever. I am not even joking. You don't want to know how many times I have watched this one scene.
Here's where I would wish you a Merry Christmas (too late), or a Happy Holidays (too generic), or a Happy New Year (too early). But, in a world post as screwed up as this, what is there left to say, except, "Poo-tee-weet"?

Where the Heart Leads: From the Casebook of Barnaby Adair (Cynster Novels)
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
New York Times bestselling author Stephanie Laurens knows the world of Regency London . . . especially the exclusive enclave of luxury in which the aristocracy lived in wealth and comfort. But outside that glittering circle lay another world . . . and Laurens pulls back the curtain that has hidden it from us—until now.
Penelope Ashford, Portia Cynster's younger sister, has grown up with every advantage—wealth, position, and beauty. Yet Penelope is anything but a pretty face in a satin gown—forceful, willful, and blunt to a fault, she has for years devoted her considerable energy and intelligence to caring for the forgotten orphans of London's sooty and seamier streets.
But now her charges are mysteriously disappearing. Desperate, Penelope turns to the one man she knows who might help her—Barnaby Adair.
Handsome scion of a noble house, Adair has made a name for himself in certain circles where his powers of observation and deduction have seen him solve several serious and unsavory crimes within the ton. His pedigree, relentless intelligence, and discretion make him a deadly avenger in an elegant guise. Despite his skills—or perhaps because of them—he makes Penelope distinctly uncomfortable, but the stakes are too grave. Throwing caution to the wind, defying every rule for unmarried ladies, she appears on his doorstep late one night determined to recruit his talents.
Barnaby is intrigued—both by her problem and her. Her bold beauty and undeniable brains make a striking contrast to the usual insipid ton misses. And as he's in dire need of an excuse to avoid said insipid misses, he accepts her challenge, never dreaming she and it will consume his every waking hour.
Enlisting the aid of Inspector Basil Stokes of the fledgling Scotland Yard, they infiltrate the streets of London's notorious East End. But as they unravel the mystery of the missing orphans, they uncover a trail leading to the upper echelons of society and a ruthless and clever criminal adept at pulling strings who, becoming aware of them and their efforts, is only too ready to destroy all they hold dear, including their newfound understanding of the intrigues of the human heart.
"The latest installment to Laurens's Cynster series (The Truth About Love; The Taste of Innocence) takes readers back to the 19th-century London of private investigator Barnaby Adair for a satisfying blend of mystery and romance. When attractive society belle Penelope Ashford enlists Barnaby's help in finding four kidnapped orphan boys, Barnaby is as intrigued by Penelope as he is by the case; her reputation as 'something of a firebrand' and her dedication to her work at Foundling House far outstrip her desire to conform to society's wishes — a worldview not unlike Barnaby's. Penelope insists on accompanying Barnaby through every step of his investigation, and with some input from an old friend at Scotland Yard, the pair begins navigating the slums of London's East End in search of a 'burglary school.' As the orphans' fate begins to slide into focus, so, too, does Barnaby and Penelope's attraction for one another. That attraction, palpable from their first meeting, slowly builds to a gratifying crescendo without overpowering the story, which, though light on plot twists, clips along at a fast pace with enough charm to delight both fans and new readers." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
The Cynster novels capture the foibles, passions, conventions, and machinations of 19th-century Englands glittering aristocracy. In this latest entry, Barnaby Adair returns to face the biggest challenge of his unconventional life--love. William Morrow

FORT WORTH (USA TODAY) -- A Texas man has filed a lawsuit against a Fort Worth hospital in an effort to remove his pregnant brain-dead wife from life support.
the lawsuit, Erick Munoz's lawyers claim that keeping 33-year-old
Marlise Munoz on life support is against her 14th Amendment right since
she told loved ones she didn't want to be kept alive by a machine.
Fourteenth Amendment provides that no State shall 'deprive any person
of life, liberty or property, without due process of law,; " the suit
reads. "The principle that a competent person has a constitutionally
protected liberty interest in making decisions regarding their own body
began at common law."
The lawsuit further states since Marlise Munoz is brain dead, she "cannot possibly be a 'pregnant patient.' "
the morning of Nov. 26, Munoz found his wife unconscious on the floor
of the couple's kitchen. Munoz said later that day he was told by
doctors at John Peter Smith Hospital that his wife - who was 14 weeks
pregnant with the couple's second child - was brain dead.
Doctors told her family they suspect she suffered a pulmonary embolism.
then, Munoz has been in a battle with the hospital to remove his wife
from life support. While tests on his wife's fetus show a normal
heartbeat, Munoz said it was against his wife's wishes to be kept alive
by a machine.
"Erick Munoz vehemently opposes any further medical
treatment to be undertaken on the deceased body of his wife," read the
lawsuit filed Tuesday in Tarrant County, Texas.
However, officials
at John Peter Smith Hospital say it would be against the law to remove
Marlise Munoz from life support based on Section 166.049 of the Texas
Health and Safety Code.
"A person may not withdraw or withhold life-sustaining treatment under this subchapter from a pregnant patient," the code reads.
cases of Marlise Munoz and Jahi McMath, 13, who was declared brain dead
after suffering rare complications from a Dec. 9 tonsillectomy, have
shone a spotlight on end-of-life issues. Jahi's family wanted to keep
her on a ventilator, while the hospital she was in wanted to remove it.
She was transported to a new facility where she remains on a ventilator.
STORY: Ethicists criticize treatment of teen, Texas patient
In Munoz's lawsuit, his lawyers cite Section 671.001 of the Texas Health and Safety Code:
"(a) A person is dead when, according to ordinary standards of medical
practice, there is irreversible cessation of the person's spontaneous respiratory and
circulatory functions...
(b) If artificial means of support preclude a determination that a
person's spontaneous respiratory and circulatory functions have ceased, the person is
dead when, in the announced opinion of a physician, according to ordinary standards of
medical practice, there is irreversible cessation of all spontaneous brain function.
Death occurs when the relevant functions cease."
the alternative, Section 166.049 is unconstitutional as applied to
Marlise as a violation of the Fourteenth Amendment of the United
States," the suit reads.
Both paramedics, the couple had extensive talks about life support, Munoz said.
Marlise Munoz's parents have backed up her husband's efforts to remove their daughter from life support.
was a lot of twinkle in our eyes and a lot of smiles and laughter, and
not anymore," said Lynne Machado, Marlise's mother, in a WFAA-TV report
on Jan. 8. "It's just barely getting through the day."

Desert Experiences
By Viator, September 2015
By far the most popular desert experience near Dubai is sandboarding. On a
Dubai 4x4 Sandboarding Safari, you'll get to experience the rolling dunes of
the Dubai Desert two ways. First, you'll enjoy the scenery from a 4x4 vehicle
as it takes you from the city into the desert. Next, you'll strap on a board
and experience the exhilaration of gliding down the dunes. Sandboarding is
actually easier to master than snowboarding, so it's a great family friendly
activity for any age.
For an even greater adrenaline rush, hop on the saddle of a Sand buggy or Quad bike for a guided tour of the dunes. When you're out in the desert on your own personal vehicle, you'll have uninterrupted, 360-degree views of this otherworldly landscape. Another option is to see the desert from above in a hot air balloon. Only from this aerial perspective can you really see how fast the Arabian Desert truly is.
An equally exhilarating and more traditional activity is camel riding. These animals have been central to survival in the Arabian Desert throughout history, and you'll learn why on a visit to a camel farm. Just getting up onto a camel is a thrill, and once you're up, the experience of riding is completely different from a horse. You'll feel like you're gliding over the dunes.
If you're interested in the culture of the nomadic tribes that once traveled these sands, spend an evening at a desert campsite, where you can watch the sun set over the dunes, wee a traditional Tanoura dance performance by the light of a campfire, feast on a barbecue dinner and swap stories over a shisha (a traditional Arabic water pipe).
