Curve, Burleigh Court and Dandelion Hideaway nominated for VisitEngland awards
Posted: April 04, 2014|
A "glamping" holiday retreat, a city theatre and a four-star hotel and conference centre have been shortlisted for the national finals of a tourism award.
English Tourism announced this week that the trio – Dandelion Hideaway in Osbaston, Curve in Leicester and Burleigh Court Hotel and Conference Centre, Loughborough – are finalists for the Visit England Awards.
Each is guaranteed to receive either a gold, silver, bronze or highly commended place in its category.
Dandelion Hideaway, set on the 250-acre Osbaston House Farm on the edge of Charnwood Forest, is in the self-catering holiday category.
It has five "country canvas cottages" and provides guests with the experience of life on a proper working farm, with goats, horses, Shetland ponies and ducks.
Guests can try their skill at milking goats, grooming ponies and raising hens with John and Sharon Earp, whose family have been farming in the area for 100 years.
Sharon said: "We are absolutely delighted to be short- listed – it was wonderful to be recommended as we have such a small family business.
"John is the fifth generation of his family here.
"It is our fourth year in tourism and it is working very well.
"Most of our visitors come from London and the south-east and they seem surprised at how lovely Leicestershire is.
"We are a working dairy farm with 1,500 goats, so the visitors get to milk them and look after the hens."
Curve, in Leicester's cultural quarter, has been nominated in the Access for All category.
Chief executive Fiona Allan said: "We are thrilled to be a finalist in the Visit England Awards for Excellence 2014.
"This is the second time Curve has been recognised in these national awards, so it's particularly pleasing that the work we do continues to make a difference.
"Accessibility and inclusivity is at the heart of everything we do at Curve and our team works hard to make sure every person in Leicestershire can enjoy – and be inspired by – their local theatre."
Burleigh Court is up for an award in the large hotel category.
It is five-star-rated and was completed in autumn 2006 with an £8 million expansion.
It boasts 225 bedrooms, 26 meeting rooms and a leisure and therapy centre.
Guy Hodge, operations director, said: "It is fantastic news. We are committed to providing our guests, whether they are here for business or pleasure, with the best possible service.
"Being recognised for such a celebrated award is recognition of the hard work of the entire team."
Simon Gribbon, head of communications for Leicester Shire Promotions, said: "The announcement is great for the city and county. All three are already gold award winners in our local scheme and now they have a chance nationally.
"We have three very different businesses – a theatre, a corporate hotel and a glamping holiday farm – nominated for the awards, which emphasises the diversity this area offers to visitors."
Visit England's chief executive, James Berresford, said: "Each finalist is already a winner and can take justifiable pride and credit in earning a coveted place in the top five in their category in England and in the contribution they make to an industry worth £106 billion to the economy, supporting 2.6 million jobs."
The national award winners will be announced at Cheltenham Racecourse on Monday, May 12.

moreThe presentation of this book is on the comprehensible application of techniques for the approximation of the mathematical problems that are frequently observed in physical sciences, engineering technology and mathematical physics. The acceptance of the technique for the solution has been justified from mathematical point of view. The Software required for the approximate solution of the problems applying the appropriate Methods, numerically developed is the set of programs written in C++ (Turbo). The text book is primarily intended for advanced Undergraduate and the Graduate levels in all branches of mathematical sciences and engineering technology. A variety of computerised solved problems, physical and technical, has been discussed in each chapter so that the students can understand the conceptual text easily. Chapter 7 on Differential Equations with boundary points is specially focussed because of the fact that a two point second-order boundary value problem is occurred very often in the field. Besides, Ordinary Differential Equations of any art have been presented and the results are analysed elaborately. Some limited examples on Partial differential equations have also been treated. Chapter 9 on Laplace Transforms should be cordially admitted because an appreciable interest has been developing in recent times in the use of Laplace Tranforms for solving particular types of differential equations. less

It's all about the MOOERs, and when it's ALL about the MOOERS, you don't want these little critters running about all over the floor. For those of you for whom nothing beats a MOOER effects pedal, there's a brilliant way of consummating your love for your tone machines, and that's by buying them a little house to live in, a house that was made specially for them and was made to measure. This is the Firefly M5 pedal board/flight case for MOOER pedals. It fits five pedals and has built in power supplies for all five of them to be hooked up without any messy daisy chains or such like. All you do is plug your power supply into the port on the top, and all five pedals will light up, as will your face I'm sure. We have these pedal boards new at Wunjo's online shop.

Facebook very quietly just released a new feature that will have a major impact on businesses and marketing directors. Facebook implemented the ability to tag images with pages, which opens up new ways for businesses to engage their community.
Page owners now have the option to tag products, which again is a major addition. If Facebook doesn't limit the use of this ability, then regular Facebook users can expect to see everything in photos being tagged down to the shoes that celebrities are wearing. This also opens up the opportunity for customers to spread the word about the brands they purchase and use.
This will also open up additional rules for contests. Virtually every online contest today requires entrants to like, follow, tweet, and recommend the company holding the contest. Contest entrants will now likely be forced to tag themselves using a product in order to qualify.
For regular users this may not be a huge addition, but for companies this may prove to be one of the biggest new Facebook features of the year.

Paletero Muerto
I've been wanting to do a paletero muerto poster for Dia de los Muertos for several years. Now, with a four-year old son always excited by the appearance of the paletero carts in our barrio, and having to fend off the high-fructose corn syrup and transfat, I wanted to make a commentary on this, but without insulting the hard-working paleteros (and remembering how much I loved ice cream sandwiches, my favorites, as a kid). My response: "Para los muertos solo lo mejor - puro organico, sin jarabes de alta fructosa y sin transgenicos..."

Next Update: June 17, 2009 (By 5pm)
Designed to promote recreational fishing in Maryland, recognize angler efforts and inspire environmental stewardship, the 2009 Maryland Fishing Challenge began Friday, May 29th and runs through Labor Day, September 7, 2009. Any angler who catches a citation-qualifying fish will be eligible to win one of the official sponsor grand prizes including a boat, motor and trailer from Bass Pro Shops and thousands of dollars in merchandise and fishing trips from Bill's Outdoor Center.
On May 28, 2009, fifty specially tagged striped bass were released at locations throughout the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries. One of the 50 will be Diamond Jim, a fish worth $10,000 cash if caught by midnight on June 30, 2009. The other tagged striped bass, Diamond Jim imposters, will be worth $500 each if caught at any time during the contest.
Here is the link to the Fishing Challenge website; a world of information there. www.dnr.state.md.us/fishingchallenge/
Anyone who has been spending any time in the outdoors lately knows what it is like to be dodging thunderstorms and persistent rain. Let there be no doubt that it has been wet these past few weeks. Water tables are being replenished and most river watersheds are doing their best to handle runoff. Fishermen have been finding good water clarity in most areas of the bay, tidal rivers, lakes and fishing has been good.
Anyone who fishes for striped bass in the Chesapeake has heard about fish being tagged and may have even caught one or know someone who has caught one. The Fisheries Service has put a small video segment together to take you out on a spring striped bass tagging trip and offer some insight into the program.
Striped bass fishing this week in the three regions of the Chesapeake Bay has been very good for the most part. The best fishing in the upper bay region tends to be from the Rock Hall area south to the Bay Bridge; trolling, chumming, jigging and casting are all methods being used with varying success. Middle bay region fishermen are seeing good striped bass fishing throughout the entire region as is the lower bay region. The traditional methods of trolling, chumming, vertical jigging and recently live lining spot are all producing good fishing. Striped bass are also spreading out into the tidal rivers and can be found in shallow areas during the early morning and late evening hours of low light conditions. Matt Mahoney of Oxford was out a dawn to cast lures in the shallows of the Choptank River and helps to add support to that old adage that "the early bird gets the worm" or in this case excellent light tackle fishing for striped bass.
Bluefish showed up in the lower bay region this week in earnest and are expected to move farther up the bay this week. Croaker fishing in the lower bay is excellent in many areas and improving in the middle bay region. Spot are now more numerous in many of the middle and lower bay tidal rivers and striped bass fishermen are beginning to enjoy good live lining action for striped bass. Flounder, speckled trout and white perch help round out additional fishing opportunities in the bay. Recreational crabbers are catching crabs with varying results in the middle and lower bay regions and report large numbers of recently shed crabs.
Freshwater fishermen who love their trout often have a favorite be it the cautious brown trout, the flashy rainbow trout or the hometown native the brook trout. Paul Terlinski sent in a picture of a strange trout he caught and released in the Savage River and Fisheries biologist Alan Klotz offers us some insight into this odd but beautiful trout. This wild fish is a tiger trout, the hybrid of the brook trout and brown trout. These fish are very rare, and only occur when a pair of brook trout and a pair of brown trout are spawning in close proximity and the eggs of one species accidentally becomes fertilized by the other species. Tiger trout are produced in some hatcheries; however no tiger trout are stocked in Maryland.
Largemouth bass fishing continues to very good this week as is smallmouth bass fishing in several reservoirs. The bass are in their post spawn feeding mode trying to build up body stores. Fishermen are enjoying good surface action during low light conditions and also equally good action during the day in deeper more shaded waters. This of course is a wonderful time of the year for families and children to enjoy all kinds of freshwater fishing since the weather is still mild and fish can be found in most any local water. Young anglers do not need much to entertain them just some kind of fish; be it the feisty bluegill sunfish or something along the lines of a channel catfish. Lukas Kanownik was fishing with his dad this past Monday on the banks of the tidal Potomac. A piece of hot dog was the bait of choice and this young angler couldn't be happier with his catch.
There is no use in your walking five miles to fish when you can depend on being just as unsuccessful near home. Mark Twain

There is no known precedent for this: When Robert Quinn takes the field for an NFL team this fall, he will do so with a brain tumor still inside his skull.
Sporting News contacted officials at the National Brain Tumor Foundation and the American Brain Tumor Association, a historian at the Pro Football Hall of Fame and a doctor renowned for his knowledge of sports head injuries. None of them ever had heard of a football player—or athlete in any sport, for that matter—competing with such a condition.
Quinn, a 6-4, 265-pound defensive end/outside linebacker, not only will compete but he likely will excel.
He is tautly muscled, never takes a play off and has uncommon flexibility, which he uses to get around offensive tackles when not going through them. He also will be one of the fastest defensive linemen in the league. He beat Bears All-Pro defensive end Julius Peppers' 40-yard dash time at the University of North Carolina, and his dad, James, was an Olympic-caliber hurdler. Quinn could well become a top-five pick April 28.
All that for a guy doctors say should be dead.
Quinn's up-and-down journey began in 2007, his senior year at Fort Dorchester High School in North Charleston, S.C. He suffered fierce headaches, blackouts and fainting spells. After he passed out at home one Sunday morning, his parents rushed him to the hospital.
The diagnosis of a brain tumor came quickly. Roughly the size of a dime, the tumor, found later to be benign, sat at the top of his spinal cavity. Fluid had built up around it, which caused the problems.
Doctors drilled two holes in his head to drain the fluid; there was so much he was told he'd never play sports again and should have been brain dead. But his recovery went far better than doctors expected. The surgery was in late October, and by the end of February, he was wrestling. He went undefeated to win his third consecutive state heavyweight championship, which had never had been done in South Carolina.
He returned to the football field in the fall of 2008 at North Carolina. He won the 2008 Brian Piccolo Award given to the ACC's most courageous football player. In 2009, his sophomore season, Quinn tallied 11 sacks and says he left at least that many unmade.
Here, Quinn's story takes another turn. Last year, after the Tar Heels' spring game, he accepted more than $5,000 in jewelry from a jeweler, in violation of NCAA rules, for which he was ruled permanently ineligible. He had no choice but to enter the 2011 draft.
There are precedents for a player getting drafted after not playing the previous season, but not many, and it's unusual for such a prospect to be selected as high as Quinn is expected. The jewelry issue is not expected to hurt Quinn, either. Those who know him say this was an isolated incident and was caused by naïveté, not ill intent. Steve LaPrad, his high school football coach, says he has coached thousands of kids, including some who became lawyers, doctors and judges, and Quinn is in the top five among quality young men, if not No. 1.
"If people talk to him, they will see what kind of a quality person this guy is," said Gil Brandt, a longtime NFL personnel man who worked the NFL Scouting Combine as a liaison between the league and the draft prospects. "I had a long opportunity to talk to him and felt so good about him that I invited him to come to New York for the draft."
If the jewelry and missed season issues don't scare away NFL general managers, will the tumor? So far, it appears not. He was cleared to play football by UNC and by the doctor who performed the surgery. Twice a year, he has the tumor checked to make sure fluid hasn't again accumulated.
He had an MRI performed at the Combine, and the results will be available to all NFL teams. "I would imagine they'll expend every ounce of effort to find out what this means," Brandt said.
Quinn has no qualms about pursuing an NFL career. He views surviving the tumor as an opportunity for a second chance, and he's going to live his life to the fullest. For him, that means chasing down the quarterback. The way he plays, there are plenty of precedents for that.

FILM: Something About Mary and Charlie's Angels actress Cameron Diaz on Leslie Mann and Kate Upton on the set of new film The Other Woman
Posted: April 20, 2014|
It didn't take much for Cameron Diaz, Leslie Mann and newcomer Kate Upton to bond on the set of their new feel-good film The Other Woman. The trio tells WEEKEND about all-night parties, enduring friendships and tough love
As 21st birthday parties go, Kate Upton had a pretty memorable one. Dancing the night away with Cameron Diaz and Leslie Mann will do that for you.
"It was the best way to celebrate my 21st birthday," says Upton, laughing. "It was big party!"
The model has her first major film role in the new comedy The Other Woman. "We knocked it all out," chimes in her prolific 41-year-old co-star, Diaz. "It was a 12-hour dance party. We really showed her just what it's like to be an adult, a proper adult!"
Today, there's no dancing to be done but the three women, squeezed onto a small sofa, seem effortlessly at ease with each other, with arm patting coming thick and fast.
Aside from the birthday bash, Mann, known for her comedic roles in This Is 40 and Knocked Up, says that she and her two co-stars made sure they had plenty of "dinners together and some long talks" before the cameras rolled.
But with "pretty likeable, cool girls" to work with, Diaz, who first came to fame in the mid-Nineties for her role in The Mask, says there wasn't too much need for team bonding.
On screen, there were many more hurdles to face for their characters' friendships to flourish. The film sees Mann play Kate, a woman whose confidence has faded after years being married to narcissistic husband Mark King (Game Of Thrones star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau). When she suspects Mark has been having an affair with lawyer Carly (Diaz), she decides to confront the other woman. But when she does, she realises that Carly has also been duped by Mark, who hasn't told her that he's married.
An unusual friendship strikes up between the two women, who are determined to right Mark's wrongs - especially when they discover that he has been cheating on both of them with younger model Amber (Upton).
It was the opportunity to show that female friendship in films can be supportive, and not "catty" - despite testing circumstances - that grabbed Diaz.
"Our objective here is to show that women don't have to be at each other's throats, you know?" says the Californian-born actress. "That's a beautiful thing. It's about friendship and about women.
"What I also loved about the script is that it wasn't man-bashing or about revenge. It's about a journey that these women take with one another to learn about themselves.
"The three women's lives are so different that their paths would never have crossed under normal circumstances. But because they have this thing in common, they come together and become a team."
In real life, all three women agree they would advise their own friends to end their relationship, if they found out their partner was a serial cheat.
"Let it go, move on, you can't change them," says Diaz, looking to her two colleagues. "You can't change who they are. You don't have the power. Get out of there."
And like their characters, the actresses have relied on their own friendships to sustain them throughout life.
"My friendship with my girlfriends means everything to me," adds Diaz, who is currently single. "I spend more time with them than I do anybody else. Through the hard times and the good times, all of them."
Mann, who is married and has two daughters with Judd Apatow, the director of comedies Superbad and The 40-Year-Old Virgin, agrees.
"I've had the same best friends since I was in middle school," says the star, who met Apatow on the set of 1996 Jim Carrey film The Cable Guy.
"I love them so much. We do these hotel days where we start as early as the hotel will let us in, so like 10 or 11 in the morning, and we talk and talk and talk until 1am the [following] morning, drink a lot of wine and bring astrology books.
"We get so much off our chests. I love it, I don't know what I'd do without that day with my girlfriends."
And it looks like Diaz and Upton might soon be joining that throng of friends.
"There are certain people who have an ear for comedy. It's like a song and a rhythm, so when you're doing comedy, if the other person isn't hearing the same thing as you are, it just lays there and dies," explains Mann.
"Cameron hears the same thing as I do. We can pick up where the other one left off and it's a good give-and-take. And Kate Upton has that, too. She knows how to play things and she's super-smart."
"We fell into a nice rhythm together at work, and bonding naturally happened easily."
Likewise, Diaz has plenty of happy memories from her time on set.
"It was so much fun," she admits, smiling. "I've got these massively talented girls to work with. Just to go in every day to work and get to be with them and laugh at the absurdity of things... I mean, that's my job - how great is that?"
:: American rapper and singer Nicki Minaj plays Cameron Diaz's no-nonsense secretary Lydia, a character who Minaj has a lot in common with: "Lydia's the friend that is going to give you tough love. I happen to be that kind of friend. I don't like it when my best friends are sad about a guy.'"
:: While Diaz loved working so closely with Minaj, she didn't pick up any rapping tips. "That, I can't do," she confesses, laughing.
:: Zero Dark Thirty actor Taylor Kinney, who plays Kate Upton's lovable good guy brother Phil, is dating Lady Gaga in real life.
:: Upton, who previously had roles in The Three Stooges and Tower Heist, is also a skilful horsewoman and competed at a national level in her teenage years.
:: The costume designer on the film was Patricia Field, best known for dressing the actresses in Sex And The City. Minaj admits that a big appeal of the role was working with Field, as she knew "everybody would be eating their hearts out when they saw all the clothes we wear in this movie".
:: The Other Woman is released in cinemas on Wednesday, April 23

Tropical cyclone history – part II: Paleotempestology still in its infancy
Figure 1. Major hurricanes outside the MDR. The annual number of major hurricane tracks where major hurricane status is only reached north of 25ºN or north of 20ºN between 50-75ºW (red line) and the total annual number of major hurricanes in the Atlantic (blue line), shown both as 5-year-running mean. Data is from the NOAA National Hurricane Center best track data set (HURDAT).
Although the correlation patterns presented by Nyberg et al. suggest a good correlation of their Caribbean proxies to wind shear over a large part of the Northern tropical Atlantic, this does not mean automatically that the correlation of the proxies to total Atlantic major hurricane activity is representative for the whole Atlantic as well. Firstly, hurricane activity is influenced by other factors than wind shear (which might vary over different areas), and secondly the effect of wind shear evidently is opposite in different regions.
There is a correlation of the proxies to major Atlantic hurricane activity over the period 1946-1995, however, the large activity increase already starts more than 5 years earlier in the proxies than in the hurricane record. The authors explain this time lag by the El Niño in the early 1990ies, however, since the influence of El Niño partly works over wind shear, this influence should be already included in the proxies.
Neither the reconstruction nor the calibration period covers the strong increase in major hurricane activity in the 1990ies, but it is obvious from observed wind shear, and recognized by the authors, that this increase cannot be explained by wind shear and is probably due to the increase in SSTs as several studies have pointed out (e.g. Hoyos et al. 2006). Since the training period of their reconstruction model covers a phase, where the main variation of hurricane activity seems to be mostly through wind-shear (1946-1990), but not the following phase, where SST changes are the most important factor, the model probably does not represent the influence of SSTs very well.
Now we come back to the question of the reliability of the hurricane record. One of the big problems of the Nyberg et al. reconstruction is, that it is far off the hurricane record before 1944 (Figure 3 in Nyberg et al). For the period 1850-1944, the reconstruction shows more than 3 (about 3.3) major hurricanes per year on average, while the hurricane record has less than 1.5 per year. Nyberg et al (2007) explain this discrepancy by the unreliability of the hurricane record. This explanation seems too simple. There are, as discussed above, uncertainties in the hurricane record. These are, however, not infinitely large. I have tried to estimate an upper error bar for major hurricane activity. Since there are no estimations of underreporting biases of major hurricanes, I assumed a constant proportion of major hurricanes to total tropical storm number. As Holland and Webster (2007) have shown, this proportion has some multidecadal variation, but these variations are not very large on the 50 year time scale, and there seems to be no significant long-term trend. I used the highest reporting bias estimations of tropical storms by Landsea (2004, 2007) – which are probably too high, as discussed in 'Tropical cyclone history – Part I', i.e. 1851-1885 plus 3 tropical storms per year on average; 1885-1965 plus 2; 2003-2006 minus 1; see Figure 2, black line).
Figure 2. Major hurricanes compared to the total number of tropical storms. The red line shows the 5-year moving average of the ratio between major hurricanes and the total number of tropical storms calculated from the best track data of the NOAA National Hurricane Center (HURDAT). The black line shows the ratio after correction of the observational bias proposed by Landsea et al. The green line shows the ratio after correction for a possible observational bias of major hurricanes before 1910.
Nyberg et al. claim that Landsea suggests 0-6 additional storms per year before 1885 and 0-4 per year before 1900 and thus the 'upper limit' correction should be 6 and 4 storms, respectively. However, the range given by Landsea represents the annual variation of the bias, not an uncertainty range of the average (I very much doubt that Landsea thinks a zero correction on average to be possible).

Forget the Play Station and the XBOX. How about some old school pinball with Metallica? That's right, three slammin' machines bearing the band's name are scheduled to roll out next month. According to the band's website, prices will range from $4995-$7595. Hey! If the IRS was kind and kicked back some extra scratch to you this year, it might be a nice little splurg. Of course, your Metallica lovin' friends may never want to leave your place. Check out the machines for your self at the link.

Sergeant turned stand-up: Alfie Moore comes to the Rondo Theatre Bath
Posted: May 21, 2014|
After 18 years at the Humberside Police Force, Alfie Moore hung up his policeman's helmet and became a full-time comic, storming the Edinburgh festival with hit shows in 2012 and 2013.
Having since supported comedy heavyweights Sarah Millican, Milton Jones and Russell Kane on tour, and having toured his own successful show in 2012, Alfie has just embarked on a new UK tour which takes in the Rondo Theatre Bath on Friday, May 30.
Sergeant turned stand-up has seen it all. This truly front-line member of the police force will not only alter your perspective on the 'boys in blue', but is guaranteed to have you chuckling from the rafters.
Revealing everything from the mundane to the macabre, Alfie recounts the continually bizarre but always humorous experiences of a modern copper. Be it the time he encountered a severed head, but by law was not allowed to pronounce it dead to the nonsensical realities of working in a squad tied up and hen pecked by bureaucracy.

The Exmoor Beast
November 4, 2012 - 08:00
Next Event
The Exmoor Beast is the toughest of them all. It's because it's the last sportive of the year and it takes in most of the Exmoor National Park. Major climb is Dunkery Beacon, two well stocked feeds with hot soup and energy food and drink. Towns visited are Lymouth, Dulverton, Simonsbath and Dunster all on quiet roads with little or no traffic. Great event with great organisation and safety.

Kaul Wildflower Garden Buzz
In This Issue
Welcome to my "maiden" Kaul Wildflower Garden (KWG) volunteer newsletter. I plan to distribute this letter once-a-month as a reminder of upcoming volunteer sessions, KWG updates and sundry bits of plant-related information. Please share these notes with anyone you think might be interested; please also let me know if you prefer to not receive them.
Our very first KWG volunteer session was held on July 10 with 11 (wow!) intrepid souls showing up to help! We accomplished much work and had fun learning from each other. During every session, I plan a break during which we do a walkabout and learn some useful or interesting botanical techniques, facts or stories.
Since that time we have held five more sessions accumulating 123 hours of work!
Most of the work we have been doing involves editing the Garden…removing large quantities of Hydrangea quercifolia , pictured left (oakleaf hydrangea), and Illicium floridanum (Florida anise). These plants are wonderful in moderation, but are vigorous growers and over the years have begun to crowd-out other plants.
Though we have done some planting, fall is when we will begin to do a lot more of it – once temperatures have begun to cool.
We normally gather to work in the Kaul Wildflower Garden on the second and fourth Thursday of each month, and the third Saturday.
Upcoming Volunteer Sessions
Thursday, August 12
Saturday, August 21
Thursday, August 26
*All sessions 8-11 a.m.
For each session, we meet at the gazebo at the KWG. Please bring sun protection, insect repellent, something to drink and any favorite tools you like to use. Some people also like to bring paper and a writing utensil.
Since we have had such an excellent response to this volunteer program, I do ask that you let me know if you will be attending a session. We may need to begin setting a limit to the number of volunteers we can accommodate each session. Knowing how many will attend each time also helps me plan appropriate activities for the day.
Tool Sources
Some of you have asked me for information about where to obtain some of my favorite gardening tools.

Asphidity Bag
I'm a history buff – especially about anything plant-related. I recently read about something called an "asphidity bag." This was something popular mostly in the Appalachian Region during the 18th, 19th and early-to-mid 20th centuries. It consisted of a small leather (or muslin) pouch worn around the neck and in it would most frequently be placed ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) and yellow root (Xanthorhiza simplicissima). This item was worn mostly in the winter as a way to repel cold, the flu and other diseases. One account of it reports that it smelled so bad that the reason it kept illness away was that it kept people away! Another account tells of a child who, upon leaving home for school each day - and as soon as she was out of sight of her house, would remove the bag, hang it in a tree – and then retrieve it and place it around her neck as she arrived home. Of interest is an ingredient used in Indian cooking called asafoetida – a foul-smelling ingredient gathered as a resin from giant fennel (Ferula assafoetida) that lends a unique flavor to food. The "…foetida" in the name is Latin for foul-smelling. For more fascinating information about this ingredient and its myriad uses, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asafoetida
Thanks for your interest and support!

"Although vaccines are under development that use whole malaria parasites weakened by irradiation to protect against infection, their safety and effectiveness rely on a precise irradiation dose and trial results have been variable," Professor Cowman said. "We believe that our genetically attenuated parasite approach provides a safe and reproducible way of developing a whole organism malaria vaccine."
Professor Cowman said it was unlikely the weakened parasites used in the vaccine would regain their potency as the genes had been deleted from the genome and could not be recreated by the parasite. "In addition, the 'one-two punch' approach of deleting two essential genes make it extremely unlikely that the attenuated parasite vaccine could restore its capacity to multiply and lead to disease," he said.
The human trials of the vaccine will take place at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research in Maryland, US. The genetically attenuated parasites to be used in the trial are being manufactured at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute, which has the only facility worldwide capable of producing genetically-altered malaria parasites that comply with the good manufacturing practice guidelines required for human clinical trials.

Protecting credit unions and the consumers who own them through effective regulation
The mission of the NCUA is to provide, through regulation and supervision, a safe and sound credit union system, which promotes confidence in the national system of cooperative credit.
In this section, you can find credit unions and research general and financial information. Other statistics, data, and reports include the archived Quarterly Call Reports, Financial Performance Reports, and Share Insurance Queries.
Find and research specific credit unions; locate educational resources on financial literacy, privacy, and identity protection; and read about the regulations that govern credit unions and corporate credit unions.
This section details the laws and regulations that govern NCUA-insured credit unions. Here you can access current and proposed regulations, regulatory alerts and policy statements, as well as guides, manuals and forms.
View the latest news, media and events at NCUA, including newsletters, speeches, and press releases.
Home > Regulatory, Publications, and Reports > Security Incidents Prevention and Detection
Dear Board of Directors:
In response to several recent security breaches involving unauthorized access to vendors' systems that might impact federally insured credit unions (FICUs), this risk alert highlights appropriate security incident prevention and detection steps for FICUs to protect and secure their members' information.
FICUs should have robust enterprise risk management practices in place to maintain member data integrity and confidentiality. The components of sound and prudent risk management include risk assessment, risk mitigation and controls, and risk measuring and monitoring. FICUs should perform periodic risk assessments of their information security programs with respect to the prevention and detection of security incidents.
Lack of proper monitoring and control systems allows attackers to gain entry into a target environment through phishing, spear-phishing, drive-by malware injection, and other malicious techniques. Once attackers have entered an environment, they typically use sophisticated tools and techniques to gain access to sensitive data or systems, install a backdoor virus, and exploit system vulnerability. Successful attacks often compromise sensitive member information which may lead to fraud. The increasing sophistication of the tools and techniques attackers use often includes stealth or other means that make their detection more difficult.
We expect FICUs to review carefully the enclosed National Security Agency (NSA) Information Assurance Advisory and the United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team's (US-CERT) Early Warning and Indicator Notice (EWIN). Both are associated with one of the recent events.
The NSA advisory provides detailed recommendations consistent with previously issued NCUA and Federal Financial Institution Examination Council guidance. Proper physical and logical controls should be implemented to restrict and monitor access to sensitive information, systems, and control components. FICUs should ensure that their information security program includes the evaluation and appropriate disposition of the above-mentioned recommendations based upon their environment and risk profile.
The US-CERT EWIN contains a list of domains associated with malicious activity. FICUs should prohibit network traffic -- both inbound and outbound -- within those domains.
US-CERT and the NSA have published notices and alerts containing recommended mitigation strategies relevant to security incidents posted on the Financial and Banking Information Infrastructure Committee (FBIIC) website (www.fbiic.gov). FICUs are encouraged to access them.
If you have any questions regarding this risk alert, please contact your NCUA Regional Office or State Supervisory Authority.

Although the tulips are the subject of the festival, the flowers serve as the backdrop for live music on different three stages, crafters, artists and a host of food vendors.
"We always have a great lineup of both national acclaimed artists as well as some great up-and-coming local groups. This year on our amphitheater stage I believe we have 10 of the best local artists in the area right now. We have a headliner on Saturday - the Silversun Pickups who are a Grammy-nominated alternative rock band from Los Angeles."
For those who truly go to the festival to see the tulips, Bonafide said the city gardener, Jessica Morgan, assures everything is right on track for perfect blooms.
"Whatever people are into, whether it's the live music or the traditional events like the Tulip Queen Coronation, there is really a lot for everyone," Bonafide said.
The 65th annual Albany Tulip Festival will take place Saturday, May 11, and Sunday May 12, in Washington Park. Visit albanyevents.org for a complete schedule of events.
"Drawing Up Central" will take place on Saturday, May 11, on Lower Central Avenue between Henry Johnson Boulevard and Lexington Avenue from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Artists should arrive by 9 a.m. and check in at 95 Central Ave. Free parking is available at 112 Central Ave. Contest results will be announced at 2:30 p.m. For more information or to register, visit centralbid.com/sidewalk-art-2013 or call 462-4300.

Spirituality Without The Bulls*@t! Sam Harris Takes A Stand {VIDEO}
Sam Harris is a best-selling author who has made a name for himself writing about the necessity of moving beyond religious belief in a post 911 world. What many don't know about him is that he is a serious long term meditator. After publishing two books that made him one of the most prominent voices for the "new atheism," his latest book, The Moral Landscape is about how neuroscience and philosophy can converge in an exploration of what ethics, morality and values are really all about.
My hunch is that his next book will be about my favorite subject – spirituality without the overblown baggage of outdated beliefs that no longer do us any good.
Harris recently began an active blog in which he has made several entries introducing non-religious people to the value of vipassana meditation.
In the fascinating and lucid video below he answers questions from an online Reddit forum and goes into some detail regarding a vision of contemporary spirituality rooted in meditation practice and reason – and of course without all the other bullshit.

Hot stone massage is a variation on
Swedish massage
therapy. Smooth, heated stones are placed on key points on the body. I also hold the stones, using them to massage certain areas of the body.
The stones are immersed in water and heated in an electric heating device until they reach a certain temperature range. The stones are then used to massage specific areas of tension, or sometimes placed in specific problem areas to let the body absorb the heat while a different area is being massaged.
The heat warms and relaxes the muscles, which allows me apply deeper pressure, if desired.
The warmth of the hot stones improves circulation in the muscle tissues and calms the nervous system. Hot stone massage is a great pre-treatment for
deep tissue massage
