Resolution Trust Corporation:

(202) 512-4800
GAO reviewed the Resolution Trust Corporation's (RTC) August 1993 national nonperforming loan auction, focusing on the: (1) process RTC used to select loans for the auction; and (2) adequacy and usefulness of loan data provided to investors before the auction.
GAO found that: (1) RTC efforts to select and dispose of nonperforming loans was hindered by incomplete and outdated loan data; (2) RTC identified over 60,000 nonperforming loans with a total book value of about #2.7 billion for the auction; (3) RTC failed to follow its contracting procedures in modifying loan servicers' contracts to require the submission of monthly standard loan data; (4) the RTC central loan database contained incomplete and outdated data because some loan servicers did not timely submit all relevant data; (5) RTC withdrew about 81 percent of the original 60,000-plus loans selected for auction because they did not meet auction criteria, were in litigation, had been paid off, sold, or designated for other sales; (6) some performing loans were erroneously included in the auction and sold at deep discounts; (7) investors generally believed that RTC loan data was useful, but important data were missing, inadequate, or invalid; (8) some investors lowered their bids or did not participate in the auction because of poor RTC loan data; and (9) RTC has taken actions to correct identified problems in conducting auctions of nonperforming loans.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: RTC has developed four new Standard Loan Servicing Agreements which include the requirement for monthly tape submissions to the Central Loan Database. Previously existing loan servicing contracts have been consolidated under new contracts using these standard agreements. The standardized documents require servicers to support RTC's loan marketing activities. Additionally, the Loan Servicer Oversight Checklist used by RTC has been revised to include compliance with these two requirements. During the semi-annual visitation made by RTC's field personnel review the servicer's procedures to ensure they are complying with the reporting requirements.
Recommendation: To improve the quality of the data in the RTC central loan database and the data provided to investors to market the loans being offered for sale, the Deputy and Acting Chief Executive Officer, RTC, should ensure that all loan servicing contracts require loan servicers to submit monthly loan status updates of data needed for marketing purposes to the central loan database contractor.
Agency Affected: Resolution Trust Corporation
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: RTC expanded statements of work for due diligence contractors to provide exception reports that better identify loan file deficiencies. Quality control measures were implemented at field offices. When loan servicers supply incomplete data, they are contacted to determine if the data exist or can be updated. The loan data diskettes were condensed to only 35 data fields and missing data are now the exception. Although errors and bad information still occur, RTC states that complaints from investors have been drastically reduced. Actions were taken to eliminate duplicate copies of appraisals and other non-essential information from files before they are imaged; this reduced investor complaints about slow response times. RTC offers access to loan level trial balance information, through an online computer network; these efforts resulted in higher recovery rates on three national auctions and an increase in registered and successful bidders.
Recommendation: To improve the quality of the data in the RTC central loan database and the data provided to investors to market the loans being offered for sale, the Deputy and Acting Chief Executive Officer, RTC, should ensure that information provided to investors on loan data diskettes or in imaged loan files is valid, complete, well documented, and in a format that meets investors' needs.

- My Husband and I decided to invest
- My Husband and I decided to invest a little in a good camera and we couldnt be happier. I am really impressed with the video during indoor shooting. We havent had to think about making sure all the lights are on and windows open which is nice since we live in a basement. The audio is also much better then I have experienced with other cameras. The screen isnt touch which was actually a selling point for me along with the manual lens cover. Less things to break. The built in USB cable which can charge the camera is fairly ingenious as well.

Citigroup (C) said Monday that its net income dropped in the second quarter after it took a $3.8 billion charge to settle claims over its risky subprime mortgage business.
The charge pushed down its net income to $181 million from $4.18 billion a year earlier.
On a per-share basis, net income was 3 cents, compared with $1.34 in the second-quarter a year earlier.
Excluding the charges and an accounting loss, the bank's second-quarter profit rose 1 percent to $3.93 billion, or $1.24 a share. That beat the $1.06 a share predicted by analysts polled by FactSet.
Revenue was $19.4 billion, excluding the accounting loss, compared with $20 billion a year earlier.
The bank's stock rose $1.71, or 3.6 percent, to $48.72 or midday trading Monday.

At least Whelan was smart enough not to eat food that was from a stranger and appeared with only the click of a finger. Honestly . . . it's common sense. :D
| Tympest chapter 7 . 5/30/2012
This story is quite interesting. The three main characters are all rather likeable, while I'm curious as to whether or not the sorceress in Feircewood is the sorceress who's guarding the princess. Is there any chance that you'll continue it at some point in the future?
| Arttoa chapter 7 . 3/7/2012
i'm really enjoying the main character. she's very self possessed and makes no apologies for being who she is. great to see a lesbian character portrayed as such. looking forward to her adventures! the flow of this story is wonderful.

Love the chap babe:) Tandy and Whalen :D I wanna see the princess before I comment on who should be with who :)
Update when you can.
| Isobel Rowan chapter 3 . 7/4/2010
Great chapter. It had a lot of emotions swirling there, not to mention the action. I was surprised to find that the other soldiers hated her, but maybe I shouldn't have been. The King seemed pretty contemptuous of his chamption. He must have gotten his little feelers hurt.
I was intrigued by MC's relationship to Tandy. I thought she was a lover, but then not. Still not sure. But that's good if it's what you intended. My interest is piqued.
I really like this description: "The long grass grew tall around my knees, and the smell of the ocean, the sound of the waves and the trees were eerie and solemn."
There were a few miner things: There were a few typos in the first few paragraphs. Is Leighton a half brother then, since he's younger? Who exactly is Dennison? Wasn't sure if you are holding that info for later or what. "I hadn't been drugged" should be "I haven't been dragged..."
| Isobel Rowan chapter 2 . 7/4/2010
This was a good first chapter. I could practically smell the man's closet. That's how well you describe it. I think you did a good job foreshadowing some things about the MC, such as the King and his war games.
I think the transition was abrupt between where you describe her relationship to the King and then switch to Tandy. I think you needed more in between for a smoother switch. Like did she meet Tandy while in the King's service? Is Tandy related to the king? Maybe contrast how she feels with both. These are just examples, of course, since I have no idea who Tandy is at this stage. I liked how you describe Tandy's affect on her. "Peaceful remission" was a good phrase. It sounds medieval. I also liked "lavendar and herbs to mock me."
There's a certain cadence you have in your writing that is very literary, by that I mean good. Example: "Far away the tolling of church bells signaled it was time to be on my way, and I sighed, knowing it was time." Normally, the overuse of "time" would annoy me, but here it doesn't. It's sweet emphasis. You did this several other times as I recall. All of them were nice and they seemed to fit the era. Good job.
I especially liked this line: "The boy stood there with wide eyes and an open mouth, the coin shining by his feet."
You foreshadowed the hell that would break loose and the boy's surprise. Overall, it was well done. I would have liked to have seen more of what her relationship to her brother was. I felt like I almost knew. The fact that she defies the king for her brother makes it a very important fact, I think.

Good news for people who want bigger, more comfortable seats at the movie theater: AMC is trying out a new strategy, renovating several of their existing theaters to replace their traditional seats with bigger, reclining seats. There's just one catch: there will be fewer seats in every auditorium, which should improve ticket sales, but it means you'll have to be more vigilant about buying your movie tickets for opening weekend screenings.
Looks like 'Star Wars: Episode 7' isn't quite done with casting just yet. Disney has just announced that two new faces will join the cast of J.J. Abrams' upcoming film following a major casting call, and that production will take a brief hiatus in August due to Harrison Ford's injury, giving the newbies plenty of time to get acquainted with their fellow cast members.
If you're looking to avoid theater crowds and take advantage of that Netflix subscription, July has a whole lot of new stuff to offer, including new original content from the streaming service, like 'Hemlock Grove' season 2 and Netflix's new anime series 'Knights of Sidonia.' Read on for our guide to the best new releases hitting Netflix Instant in July 2014.
We're just over a month away from the release of 'Guardians of the Galaxy,' the highly-anticipated intergalactic superhero film from Marvel, but there's already talk of possible sequels from Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige. The executive also has some hints about 'Ant-Man,' which recently picked up director Peyton Reed and writer Adam McKay.
Indonesian flick 'The Raid' was a surprise hit with its totally insane action sequences, and while we've been somewhat wary of an American remake, this first bit of casting news has us feeling a little more confident. A shortlist was floated around a while back, and now we know at least one of those names has officially joined up: 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' star Frank Grillo.
For the first year since 2005 we won't be getting a new full-length Pixar film, and while that's kind of a bummer to think about, we do have some wonderful Pixar news to share today. The studio has released an official synopsis for one of two (yes, two) new films aimed for released in 2015: Pete Docter's 'Inside Out.' And, as a bonus, the studio has debuted a new 'Cars' short on its Disney Movies Anywhere platform today, just in time for the holiday.
Today brings a new, extended trailer for 'The Giver,' the upcoming film based on the classic, award-winning young-adult novel of the same name by Lowis Lowry, and featuring Meryl Streep as a strict authoritarian figure in a dystopian future (because these are the only kinds of futures young adults have).
Sad news this Sunday evening, as it's being reported that Ann B. Davis, best known for her role as housekeeper Alice Nelson on beloved classic sitcom 'The Brady Bunch,' has passed away at the age of 88. The actress and two-time Emmy award winner died following a tragic accident in her home on Sunday.

in Spirituality
Join Dr. Brenda L. Bates and Donny Winter this Sunday, November 15th at 7 pm on the Universal Journeys Radio Show. Their guest will be the beautiful Deb DeRousse advocate for awareness, will be talking about Sex/Human Trafficking and the connection with Missing Persons. She is passionate about spreading awareness and works with Project Missing Search and Rescue LLC in Michigan.

Human trafficking is at least a $32,000,000,000 per year industry and is tied with drugs for the most profitable criminal endeavor and is growing by the day. Awareness is the biggest key to putting an end to trafficking, many people have no idea how widespread this is. Yes, it can happen to you or your child, it is in your neighborhood!

Deb Maskens on ESMO and Immuno-Oncology
in Health
Deb Maskens was diagnosed at the age of 14 with papillary renal cell carcinoma. Now with adult children of her own, she has been living most of her life on one clinical trial or another, working to control the growth of tumors and to maintain her quality of life. She helped to form Kidney Cancer Canada, and the International Kidney Cancer Coalition (IKCC), sharing her experience and knowledge with other kidney cancer patients around the world.
In September 2015 she attended the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) meeting in Vienna and filed this report, which Joyce and Robin will be discussing with her.
In addition, she is part of a team at the International Kidney Cancer Coalition which has recently opened an informational website on Immuno-Oncology. Hopes are high for this new angle on controlling cancer, but how much of the hype is yet real?

What The HELL Was That!?; Why NOT To Dabble In The Paranormal Field!
in Paranormal
Hosts Carlee Robbins and Deb DeRousse will open the lines up to discuss with everyone who is interested in becoming an investigator in the paranormal filed. This is sure to be exciting and explosive if your ready to debate the issue. Ghost hunting is very serious and not to be taken lightly, it is not a game nor is it like television. if you are not 100 percent serious about the scientific aspect of ghost hunting and it's not a passion worth the risks you are taking, ghost hunting may not be for you. On occasion we will have a case where there is a true haunting, sometimes something darker than human spirit. We have to walk into every case knowing that this is a possibility... although not a probability. We have to remember that negatives lie, manipulate, hide, tease, pretend to be human, and can do harm... and not only in an outwardly way, they can mess with our families, our lives, make us sick, depressed, angry, cause personality changes and sometimes make us sick enough to die. We cannot take any case lightly.
Join us as we cruise down this road and lets see if your ready for this.
Mystical Awakenings: Where is the LOVE? Social Media, Politics, Religion
in Spirituality
Hosts, Deb DeRousse and Debbie Marcum will be discussing the issue of social media and what it is doing to all of us. Below is a post that Deb made on Facebook today. Call in with your thoughts @ 347-850-8292
Every time I log into facebook anymore I am bombarded with politics, religion, and hatred. Seeing my friends divide in the face of politics and religion is breaking my heart. Is this what we are supposed to do on this journey? Is it really alright to hate somebody that you once liked just because they vote differently or have a different religion? Is it really necessary to post your own personal beliefs on a social network just to try to change other peoples minds? Posting religious or political crap is not changing anyones mind, it's just making people more angry and negative.
I'm here to tell you that this is doing nothing positive in our world, it's causing hatred and drama, ultimately it will cause wars in our own communities. I don't care how you vote, I don't care rather you believe your religion is the only religion or you have no religion at all.
Are we all supposed to be the same? I think not. It's not alright to condemn and hate others just because they believe differently. Evolving on a spiritual and loving path is where I am and where I will stay. Be a part of the solution, not a part of the problem.
Love, Light, and Many Blessings to ALL

Greetings, gracious patrons and patient supporters
First, I want to apologize for the dearth of updates amidst a harrowing family illness. We may have prematurely announced the schedule of this crazy movie. But be assured that WE WILL FINISH IT. WE WILL FINISH IT GOOD.
We have a tendency to post unheralded micro-updates and releases in various corners of the internet -- like the 'Add-ons for Empathy' series on our production blog (Floating Sliders, Proxies and a Bonus), where Bassam has begun video-documentation of custom tools built for the Tube project. We've hesistated to release our tools until the film is done, when we'll have more time to maintain them and create supporting materials -- but for the adventurous and Blender-interested among you, we are releasing a selection of them as free/open source software.
Playing to his creature strengths, Tal Hershkovich recently finished animation on one of the most challenging shots of the movie -- a roach fight!
We're also happy to have Henri Hebeisen back with us, doing great work using particle systems to develop the title animation.
In October the project had reached nearly 30,000 lines of code -- and the same weekend we noticed it, Bassam wrote 500 more to facilitate the timelapse animation. He's also written a wiki entry explaining it, http://wiki.urchn.org/wiki/Timelapse_tools.
We move inexorably onward! All of your contributions are appreciated, and we wouldn't dream of squandering them. Most important, we've developed a funding plan for seeing the production all the way to the finish. Thanks for hanging in there =)

Man held for petrol station robberyComment on this story
Durban - A man has been arrested for allegedly robbing a petrol station at the Gateway mall, Durban, on Friday, KwaZulu-Natal police said.
Three men arrived at the petrol station and robbed staff of an undisclosed amount of cash at gunpoint around 2.30pm, Colonel Jay Naicker said.
No one was injured and no shots were fired. The men then fled the scene. Police caught one man in nearby bushes and found him in possession of an unlicensed firearm and ammunition.
The 25-year-old would appear in the Verulam Magistrate's Court soon on charges of business robbery, possession of an unlicensed firearm and ammunition. The other two were still at large.

Any opinions on riding it from PCH to Piuma? I know you have to go through the tunnel. It seems like it is the quickest route from PCH to Piuma. I would be riding it on a weekend morning.
Any opinions on riding it from PCH to Piuma? I know you have to go through the tunnel. It seems like it is the quickest route from PCH to Piuma. I would be riding it on a weekend morning.
Having just descended it today, it looks like it would be somewhat unpleasant to ascend, but doable. That said, hopefully someone who has climbed it will chime in. Also, the elevation gain to Piuma is only about 500 feet or so, so you wouldn't be stuck ascending for too long.
Traffic aside, it's not a bad climb. Piuma will get you before MCR will.
Just to clarify, my "unpleasant to ascend" remark was in reference to the traffic level/speed. The grade is easy on MCR.
Thanks for the responses.
I was wondering how the traffic would be on the road. I think its like 5 miles from PCH to Piuma. The distance and elevation gain are not that bad, I just don't want to get run over.
You might not get run over but you might get stuff thrown at you. A hot afternoon is the worst time to climb that road, after the idiots have had a chance to get drunk.
I'd avoid it at all costs - heavy traffic in a hurry (and during the summer beachgoers returning full of beer).
Good point! I would be riding it in the morning, so hopefully people are not loaded on beer by then.
I think it would be OK early. There should not be much traffic. The only bad part is the tunnel. It is tight in there.
I ride up Piuma at least twice weekly. On weekday mornings (before 8am), via PCH Malibu Cyn is okay if you stay as far right as possible. Prevailing traffic is in the opposite direction weekdays early. Yes, you have to go through the tunnel, but best to block the lane and if you acknowledge any motor vehicles that you may be blocking, they are usually okay. Another route to Piuma involves more climbing, but that's what these ascents are all about. Early Sunday mornings turn on Topanga Canyon from PCH and climb up, left on fernwood-pacific, right on saddle-peak to top (great view of valley and ocean). Then you can either descend Stunt to Mulholland, left on Cold Cyn, left on Piuma...up, up, up. Or descend Schueren from saddle peak, right at the "T" which is Piuma...up, up, up to top of Piuma (another great view) and decend down to the bottom which becomes Malibu Cyn. I was actually out there this morning and it was about 102 degrees on Stunt.
Note: during weekdays from 7am to 3pm they are doing road construction on saddle peak and will not let you through to Schueren/Stunt. However, you can on weekends but be careful, there is loose dirt, gravel, and uneven terrain. Similarly, going up Las Flores is subject to 30 minute road construction delays at the point where the steepness starts, so trying to remount on a 14% grade is difficult if not impossible.
Riding Malibu Creek is fine before 11AM on weekends. It does have much more traffic than the other mountain roads though, and will get increasingly traffic-heavy as it gets later. For sure, before 9AM, it's totally fine to ride. The unfortunate part is the traffic goes fairly fast, but it's no worse than the narrow parts of the PCH (actually, safer.)
The better approach to Piuma is via Mulholland Highway from the non-PCH side if you can get over there. It's only about 3 miles off Mulholland. Again, lots of fast-moving traffic, but it's a fast ride to Piuma. This is a good route if you climb Encinal or Latigo to Kanan.

Venezuela's government has prohibited the possession of guns in public places in an effort to counter rampant violent crime.
The measure outlaws guns in all public places and specifically mentions city squares, parks, sports facilities and restaurants.
President Hugo Chavez's government in February announced temporary measures outlawing gun possession in public areas as well as halting gun sales and the granting of permits for firearms. The new rules make those changes permanent and also call for metal detectors in restaurants and bars.

|Iron Sword
| Base Damage:
| Weight:
| Base Value:
|Class: One-Handed, Sword
|Upgrade Material: Iron Ingot
|Perk: None
|FormID: 00012EB7
- For other uses, see Iron Sword.
- "That iron sword's pretty undependable. You should try steel."
- ―Hold Guard
The Iron Sword is a one-handed weapon that appears in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. It is among the most common and weakest of all weapons available, and is one of the first weapons to which the Dragonborn has access to.
Both enchanted and unenchanted swords are available throughout Skyrim at level 1. These locations include:
- Blacksmiths and general goods merchants
- Wielded by various characters or enemies
- Found as random loot in chests or as a world item throughout Skyrim
- Can be pickpocketed from certain characters
An iron sword can be crafted without acquiring any Smithing perks. It can be forged at a blacksmith's forge using the following components:
- 2 x Iron Ingots
- 1 x Leather Strip
It can be upgraded with an iron ingot at a grindstone, however it does not benefit from any Smithing perks.
- The Hold Guards tend to say "Iron sword, eh? What are you fighting, butterflies?", " That iron sword's pretty undependable. You should try steel", or "Pigsticker like that's not going to get you far. Best visit the blacksmith." if the Dragonborn has an iron sword equipped.
- The Iron Sword is the first weapon the Dragonborn can pick up if Hadvar is followed. It is found in the room where the Dragonborn's bindings are removed.
- In Ysgramor's Tomb, a broken iron sword can be found.

Massive Bangers: Girl Fawkes Night!
We never entirely understood why we were always told to 'remember, remember, the fifth of November'. After all, the big explosions aside, it usually involves standing around in the cold, waiting desperately for the three seconds of lights and noise that you've been promised – all the while surrounded by potentially sexy ladies, who are irritatingly wrapped up in scarves and big coats.
Well, not any more. With all those fireworks, we've decided Bonfire Night should be a thrilling and exciting evening – which is why we've got Katie-Marie Cork to use her 30F sparklers and show us what 5 November could be like if ZOO was left in charge. Watch her video below...
We've even got the gorgeous Katie-Marie to liven up the traditional health and safety instructions you get at every fireworks display in our own ZOO style, making the next few pages not only stunningly eye-catching, but potentially life-saving. She's also taken the trouble of answering our truly explosive, whizz-banging Bonfire Night questions…
Hi, Katie-Marie. Do you like getting your sparklers out?
I love getting them out all year round. I think my boobs have their own thermal insulation. Honestly, they're like hot water bottles.

If someone uses 3rd party software to change rework the game even if they did not write the program could be called a hacker. If someone has a modded console and used it to turn on god mode I would say hack its all covered under cheating what ever they do. To many people want to use the word glitch when it is used wrong. Like "head glitching" hiding behind a box, car, window so you can only see the head is not a glitch. A glitch in an unintended outcome from a problem in the programing. Fall through the floor for example. But they want to hide behind the word glitch and say its in the game so I can do it. So if they enter a game mode and back out jump change guns then it somehow gives them a weapon to use that they should not have its a glitch in the game. It is problem in the games programing. They are all cheaters how ever they do it. Lets put our effort into reporting how they do it or what we see. Lets stop telling people there wrong because they said hack. When you thing it should be another word for what they did. the bottom line is they are all cheating, What ever anyone calls it.

They should put this particular cheat in the reports menu. "Blank Rank" say, then if a single person reports them, all an IW rep has to do is LOOK AT HIM. Yup, his rank is a box, banned. You could get rid of so many of these people like this, so easily. This is why most of us think they just don't care.

Its not a "hacker" its someone taking advantage of an exploit and its a error in the game that if reported can have them banned.

In my observation, and I've seen dozens of the black square emblem kids, these folks are using the Assault Streaks on Support Setup hack. You can just about guarantee that he'll throw up a chopper at 9 kills, regardless of how many deaths he's taken. The majority go BattleHind, Helo Pilot, Loki. They'll go negative for the first 3 minutes, then launch up the scoreboard with the streaks.
Report them and move on.

"Terrific page-turning fun."
—Stephen King, Entertainment Weekly
"An ingenious, instantly visual story of war between humans and robots."
—The New York Times
"Richly haunting. . . . Wilson has terrific timing in building a page-turner around the perils of technology's advance into our lives."
—Los Angeles Times
"An Andromeda Strain for the new century, this is visionary fiction at its best: harrowing, brilliantly rendered, and far, far too believable."
—Lincoln Child
"A tour de force. . . . A fast-paced, engrossing page-turner that is impossible to put down. . . . Wilson's taut prose and the imaginative scope of his story make him a worthy successor to the likes of Michael Crichton, Kurt Vonnegut and Isaac Asimov."
—Buffalo News
"A superbly entertaining thriller. . . . [Robopocalypse has] everything you'd want in a beach book."
—Richmond Times-Dispatch
"You're swept away against your will. . . . A riveting page turner."
—Associated Press
"[Wilson] presents a doomsday scenario more plausible than most. No vampires, no zombies. . . . Science fiction has been grappling with the possibility of traitorous computers and mutinous androids for much of its history, but Wilson has devised a way to put an original spin on the material. Robopocalypse is a well-constructed entertainment machine, perfect for summer reading. It's especially refreshing to read an end-of-the-world novel that's actually self-contained, that doesn't require the investment in two or three more thick volumes to deliver the apocalyptic goods."
—The San Francisco Chronicle
"Wilson's training as a roboticist makes accepting a ubiquitous robot presence natural to the author; it also helps him imagine and describe some amazing machines, efficient, logically designed and utterly inimical to human life. . . . [Robopocalypse] reads at times like horror. That its events are scientifically plausible makes them all the more frightening."
—Seattle Times
"A gripping, utterly plausible, often terrifying account of a global apocalypse brought on by a transcendent AI that hijacks the planet's automation systems and uses them in a vicious attempt to wipe out humanity."
—Cory Doctorow, Boing Boing
"Robopocalypse is the kind of robot uprising novel that could only have been written in an era when robots are becoming an ordinary part of our lives. This isn't speculation about a far-future world full of incomprehensible synthetic beings. It's five minutes into the future of our Earth, full of the robots we take for granted. If you want a rip-roaring good read this summer, Robopocalypse is your book."
"This electrifying thriller . . . will entertain you, but it will also make you think about our technology dependency."
—Parade Magazine
"A brilliantly conceived thriller that could well become horrific reality. A captivating tale, Robopocalypse will grip your imagination from the first word to the last, on a wild rip you won't soon forget. What a read . . . unlike anything I've read before."
—Clive Cussler
"[A] frenetic thriller. . . . Wilson, like the late Crichton, is skilled in combining cutting-edge technology with gripping action scenes."
Daniel H. Wilson earned a Ph.D. in robotics from Carnegie Mellon University. He is the author of How to Survive a Robot Uprising, Where's My Jetpack?, How to Build a Robot Army, The Mad Scientist Hall of Fame, Bro-Jitsu: The Martial Art of Sibling Smackdown, and A Boy and His Bot.See all Product Description

Jose Rizal Execution: Unknown Facts
Some some regarding the execution of Philippine National Hero Jose Rizal.
As we commemorate the 114th year of our national hero's execution in Luneta, there are some curiosities to that moment we long to know, but perhaps, unwilling to ask.
For instance, the reason why Jose Rizal refused to be blindfolded and demanded that he face his executioners.
A few or even rare among us knew that only one bullet, from the guns of the firing squad, actually ended the life of the Filipino martyr that further embroiled Filipino revolt.
And lastly, the fact that history repeats itself. Like the martyred Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino Jr. and the Revolutionary Supremo Andres Bonifacio; Rizal was executed by a fellow Filipino. Furthermore, no one knew who actually pulled the fatal trigger that killed these three heroes.
All three men were tried by a military tribunal and sentenced to death for rebellion and sedition.
The court-martial of Rizal commenced in the December 26, 1896. Before the verdict was handed down, Rizal knew from the start he was already prejudged and that the hearing was actually a moro-moro.
By 6:30 in the morning of December 30; Rizal wearing black suit, black neck tie, black hat and white vest began his march to the field of his execution in Bagumbayan (Luneta) from his prison cell in Fort Santiago.
He was accompanied by his Military appointed counsel Lt. Taviel de Andrade on one side, and Fathers Estanislao March and Jose Villaclara, on the other side.
Holding a Rosary with his right hand, Rizal was tied from elbow to elbow as his group walked behind four advanced guards armed with bayonets.
Historical accounts states that six to 8 Filipino volunteer troops composed the firing squad designated by the Spanish authorities to kill Rizal.
A descendant of one of the executioners, Adolfo Pastor Quetcuti related that only one of the rifles was loaded with a live bullet and the rest are blank slugs. This is to ease the guilt of Rizal's executioners who knew he was innocent. Another group of peninsular troopers also stood behind them as an additional measure.
Rizal refused to be blindfolded and insisted that he face his executioners to no avail. Rizal wanted to show he is not a traitor and that he was willing to die gloriously for his country. Dr. Felipe Ruiz Castillo who took Rizal's vital sign and pulse rate before the execution was amazed to find out that the national hero was indeed unafraid die.
Upon hearing the squad commander's shout of "Fuego," Rizal quickly twisted his body to face the firing squad. He fell face up at the skies and his head slightly inclined upwards to catch the rays of the rising sun in the east and uttered in his final breath: "Consummatum est" (It is finished).
In 1898, President Emilio Aguinaldo as one of his first Decrees marked Rizal's Death Anniversary to commemorate the accomplishment of his struggles instead of the National Hero's Birthday in June 19.

Rizal did not twist his body. The twisting movement of his body was caused by the single bullet that hit him. :-bd

Tropical wagtail
Redirected from Tropical Wagtail
this wiki
|Release date
|21 November 2006 (Update)
|Hunter Level
|Feldip Hunter area
|Bird snare
|Bones, raw bird meat, stripy feathers
|It blends in very well with its surroundings.
The Tropical Wagtail is a bird which requires a Hunter level of 19 to trap using a bird snare.
|This section of the article is a direct quote, copied verbatim, from RuneScape.
This content is copyrighted by Jagex.
|This beautiful bird can be found in hot jungle climates where it expertly catches small insects for food. It is perhaps therefore ironic that it is usually caught for its bright plumage, which can be used in turn to make excellent fly fishing lures.
These birds are found in the Feldip Hills Jungle Hunter area south of the Feldip Hills, just west of the Hunting Experts hut. Bring at least two bird snares, because shortly after reaching level 19 Hunter, when players can snare these birds, players hit level 20 when they can place two snares at a time. This greatly increases the amount of experience a player can obtain. The stripy feathers are used for fly fishing rainbow fish (used as bait for barb-tailed kebbit). Players also have the option to 'smoke' their trap to mask their scent so it heightens the chance of catching the bird.
The area can be reached by traveling north from the Oo'glog lodestone, or by using the Fairy coordinate AKS from Zanaris and heading south into the habitat area. The Hunting Expert's hut is visible on the world map.
- There was a common animation glitch when you catch a Tropical Wagtail, where it would appear flat on the ground for a second. This was later fixed.

The Lazio region
The region of Lazio, rich of culture and nature, is situated in the centre of Italy.
Hilly landscapes with olive- and vine cultivations and the lakes Bracciano and Bolzena characterizes the north of the region. The culturally heydays are the famous Etruscan excavation and the sulphur-wells, where you can spoil your skin under the open sky.
Rome is the culturally and economically center as well as the capital city of Italy, located directly in the heartland of Lazio.
Mountains are in the south, rising above 2000 meters; lower, heading the coast the gentle green slopes are overgrown with orange-and lemon trees and olive-and vine cultivations.
The coast is uneven, sandy beaches alternate rocky cliffs, suggestive little bays and hills are covered with Mediterranean spontaneous vegetation (macchia mediterranea).
Thousands of years of history signed the landscape, increasing the cultural value of this land: Excavations from the Roman and the pre-Roman time (Etruscan, Ausonia and Aurunci), medieval towns, monasteries and convents, make the stay in Lazio always an astonishing experience.
The region has many nature reserves and little protected oasis; very beautiful for short walks, hiking tours or trekking.
The Garigliano river natural park at the board with Campania offers multiple opportunities to come in contact with the lush river vegetation and the wild animals that inhabit along the banks.
Thermal springs are to find in the region of Viterbo, Tivoli and Fiuggi and in the south in Suio.
Located in the south of the region, The Pontine Islands join sensational nature, clear water, characteristic fisher towns and Roman culture. The main Island Ponza is also called pearl of the Tyrrhenian Sea.
The food and wine tradition might deserve its own chapter: fish and seafood on the coast; rustically cuisine in the countryside (meat and sausage, cheese and a lot of different vegetables), buffalo mozzarella, and olives of Gaeta are only some examples.
Lots of tasty and important wines are available for experts and curious tasters, thanks to the unique warm weather and the composition of the soil.
The area between south of Lazio and northern Campania, named Campania Felix by the ancient Roman, produces since centuries a particular wine, called Falernus, one of the many wine excellence of the area.

- An ISBN is the 10 or 13 digit number, usually printed on the back of a book with a bar code, that serves as a unique identifier for the book.
- Searching by ISBN is the best way to search because it will get you the exact title and edition that you need.
- Many professors include the ISBN on their syllabi or in their course management system.
If you don't have the ISBN, try a title or author search.
Title search
- Enter all words in the title you are looking for. The search engine will try to find books that have all the words you entered in the title. Leave out words such as "a," "an," or "the."
- When including edition, use numeric values. For example, "1st edition" instead of "first edition."
Author search
- Enter all or part of the author name you are looking for.
- You do not need to enter a first name, but if there are a lot of books by authors with the same last name, it may help to narrow the results.
- You can enter the name in any order such as "John Smith" or "Smith John." Avoid using a comma since it has a special meaning in the search.
Keyword search
- You can search by keyword but this approach is not recommended as it will likely return a large set of results.
- If you want to search by keyword, try a combination of author and keyword. For example, "Warren Accounting" where "Warren" is the author and "Accounting" is the keyword.
To refine your results, use the filtering/sorting options
- Filter options include product type and discipline area. Sort options include alphabetical sort (ascending or descending) and copyright year (ascending or descending).

Mount Grace benefits the environment, the economy, and future generations by protecting significant land and encouraging land stewardship.
Founded in 1986, Mount Grace has helped conserve nearly 29,000 acres in Western and Central Massachusetts, including more than two dozen family farms and public conservation lands in twenty towns.
From the peak of Warwick's Mount Grace to the rolling landscapes of the Quabbin Reservoir and across the northern Connecticut River Valley, Mount Grace protects the natural and working landscapes that define the character of our communities and support our local economy.
Since our founding, we have grown to become a land trust whose leadership extends beyond our original boundaries, reaching throughout Massachusetts to address a broader, more diverse set of needs related to land, people, and culture.
This year's projects include:
TENNESSEE GAS PIPELINE: Defending conserved land from the unnecessary and destructive pipeline proposed by Kinder Morgan. Our legal memo stopped the aggressive requests for authorization to survey received by landowners who had already denied permission. We will continue to defend conserved land and encourage our legislators to uphold Article 97 of the Massachusetts Constitution.
ACCESSIBLE TRAIL IN NORTHFIELD: Working with the Town of Northfield and local landowners to create a loop trail designed specifically to be wheelchair accessible at the newly-proposed Alderbrook Meadows Sanctuary.
QUABBIN HARVEST FOOD CO-OP: When a burgeoning local food co-op proposed that Mount Grace purchase a downtown building in Orange where they would launch a neighborhood market, we said yes, seeing a powerful opportunity to support local farming and improve the availability of healthy food for a USDA Food Desert community. Quabbin Harvest opened in October 2014.
COMMUNITY WOOD BANKS: Launching the first "wood banks" in Massachusetts. Modeled on fuel-assistance programs, wood banks receive firewood donated by towns, land trusts, and landowners to provide emergency winter fuel for income-eligible residents. Mount Grace is partnering with local towns and the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation to bring this program to Franklin County.
AFFORDABLE FARMS IN THE VALLEY: Secure, affordable access to land is the greatest challenge facing new farmers. This year, we worked to keep Leyden's last remaining dairy farm, Bree-Z-Knoll Farm; Red Fire Farm in Montague; Greenfield's Unaitis Farm; and Wingate Farm, on the Northfield line in Hinsdale, permanently affordable for farmers.
MassLIFT-AMERICORPS: Managing our statewide AmeriCorps program, the Massachusetts Land Initiative for Tomorrow (MassLIFT), that hosts 21 AmeriCorps members each year to focus on land conservation, stewardship, and volunteerism. To date, MassLIFT members and the 8,400 volunteers they have recruited have provided 174,000 hours of direct community service. Corps volunteers have helped build and revitalize 26 community gardens, including Just Roots, the Greenfield Community Farm.
Please join the more than 1,200 members who support Mount Grace's work. Thanks in part to Valley Gives, we now have 275 new members since 2012!
*The first $5,000 of donations will be matched 1:1! *Everyone who makes a gift of $50 or more is eligible to receive a prize from Mount Grace!

The sense of hearing can also be sensual -- especially if the two lovers are talking openly about their likes and dislikes. Married people, especially, need to communicate more about sex, Dwoskin says. "This is the sexiest thing you can do."
No time for a heart-to-heart at night? Try for a morning delight. "Honey, you know, it kind of hurts when you do that." You get the idea.
Dwoskin also recommends not concentrating on your partner so much, but taking pleasure in your own sensations. If your partner is satisfying you, he or she will be satisfied, he says. The key is to stop worrying about that bulge that might be showing (which is probably the farthest thing from the mind of your partner, who is having sex, after all) and start feeling the sex. "Let go of guilt, fear, shame and self-consciousness," he says.
If you are shy about sex, Valan-Hudson suggests reviving your enjoyment of touch. Get some massages, facials, pedicures. (She also recommends strategically placed pillows when you do get to the main event. )
For those who are just getting into (or getting back into) the dating game, Valan-Hudson says, finding your romance groove can be a long process. You have nothing to lose by trying, though, she says. "If you are fun-loving, be fun-loving," she recommends. "Make eye contact. Not all men or women like a skinny partner. Everyone has an ego; pay attention to the person."
And once you get started down the road to romance, it becomes a healthy cycle. "The more sex you get, the more you will want," Valan-Hudson notes.
Buying new lingerie can make you feel sexier. But Valan-Hudson says heavier women often think they need to buy the sort of getups you might see in an X-rated film -- garter belts and the like. Of course, you can get this type of outfit; even Victoria's Secret is carrying realistic sizes these days. Or you could create your own sexy style.
"My first recommendation is buy a good, sexy bra," Valan-Hudson says. "This is your base, then you can add a couple of items on top. A nightie or peignoir, perhaps. "Go with what makes you feel sexy," she says (he might even prefer your Scooby Doo t-shirt!).

Never the Swain
Meanwhile, in just-asleafy Highgate, our old friend Waldemar Januszczak, the hapless presenter of last year's Stirling Prize television programme on Channel 4, has been getting hot under the collar about his local architecture. It seems his local manor, Swain's Lane, is to get a (shock, horror) three-storey apartment block where some single-storey shops currently stand.The designs are, apparently, 'appalling', 'halfbaked, mediocre, out of scale mess', 'absolutely disgusting', 'an awful pastiche of late 1980s cocktail bar mass development, very shoddy, phoney and with no architectural integrity'. Phew. He says the developer, the Earl of Listowel, 'hasn't listened' and 'there has been no architectural improvement or real change of scale'. Furthermore, he tells the Camden New Journal , it will also 'completely destroy one of the most charming vistas on the edge of the (Hampstead) Heath'. Other chattering class luvvies are also supportive - novelist Julian Barnes, newsman Jon Snow and actor Robert Powell have also joined the fray, adding weight to more than 300 objections from local residents. But Januszczak is on shaky territory with his final blast. The developers are 'dishonest' because they put in their planning application in August last year - when objectors were 'away'.
