Chick-fil-A recalls Jim Henson kids meal toys on 'safety issue' after company boycotts restaurant over anti-gay marriage comments
- The Jim Henson Company, which is behind the Muppets, have said they will never work with Chick-fil-A again
- Restaurant have recalled Jim Henson toys on a 'possible safety issue'
- Fast food chain Chick-fil-A issued a statement in response to the widespread criticism of the company president Dan Cathy's anti-gay comments
- Cathy had previously said that the company is only supportive of heterosexual family values
- The company donated more than $3m between 2003 and 2009 to Christian organisations with anti-gay agendas
Chick-fil-A have stopped including Jim Henson Company toys in their children's meals due to a 'possible safety issue.'
The restaurant appear to have pulled the Jim Henson Creature Shop toys from their meals after the company behind The Muppets severed ties with Chick-fil-A over the eatery's anti-gay marriage stance.
Chick-A-fill's recall notice says 'there have been some reports of children getting their fingers stuck in the holes of the puppets.'
The sign is dated July 19, one day before Jim Henson Company announced that it would not do business with them again following Chick-fil-A president Dan Cathy's comments that his company supported families headed by heterosexual couples only.
Tit-for-tat? Chick-fil-A have stopped including Jim Henson Company toys in their children's meals due to a 'possible safety issue'. The recall came at the same time the Jim Henson Company severed ties with Chick-fil-A over the eatery's anti-gay marriage stance
Muppets: The Jim Henson Company, which is behind the beloved TV show The Muppets, cut ties with Chick-fil-A after the chain's president Dan Cathy, left, revealed his anti-gay marriage stance
However, it is not clear when the signs were actually put up in restaurants, reported Gawker.
The Jim Henson Company had partnered with the eatery to provide toys in their kid's meals from mid July until August 18.
And following Cathy's inflammatory newspaper interview more controversial rhetoric has surfaced, according to Gawker.
Cathy is heard telling attendees at Hope Community Church in Raleigh, North Carolina, that a lack of religion has led to 'twisted up kind of stuff' like 'Washington trying to redefine the definition of marriage.'
The Jim Henson Company, which is
also behind popular shows such as Fraggle Rock and Labyrinth, posted
that their were severing their ties with the restaurant on their
Facebook page on July 20.
The company also said they would be dedicating their payment from Chick-Fil-A to the charity Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Discrimination.
Their full post, reported on the Huffington Post, read: 'The Jim Henson Company has celebrated and embraced diversity and inclusiveness for over fifty years and we have notified Chick-Fil-A that we do not wish to partner with them on any future endeavors.
'Lisa Henson, our CEO is personally a strong supporter of gay marriage and has directed us to donate the payment we received from Chick-Fil-A to GLAAD.'
'Going forward': The Atlanta-based fast food chain released a statement on Facebook saying they will 'leave the policy debate over same-sex marriage to the government and political arena'
This is the latest in a huge backlash to comments made by the multimillion dollar empire's president Dan Cathy when he said his company is 'very much supportive of the family,' but only when it involves heterosexual couples in an interview with the conservative newspaper Baptist Press.
As well as customer backlash, Boston Mayor Thomas Menino has vowed to block Chick-fil-A from opening a restaurant in the city.
To appease disgruntled consumers Chick-fil-A issued a statement via the company's Facebook page on Thursday saying their restaurants 'treat every person with honor, dignity and respect – regardless of their belief, race, creed, sexual orientation or gender'.
The statement continued: 'Going forward, our intent is to leave the policy debate over same-sex marriage to the government and political arena.'
More than 13,000 comments were posted on the company's Facebook page in response to the statement.
According to the Los Angeles Times, Mr Cathy he previously said: 'We are a family-owned business, a family-led business, and we are married to our first wives.'
Contradictory: Mr Cathy's backing of 'traditional' families as husband and wife is a far cry from the ensuing statement from Chick-fil-A
The Atlanta-based business currently has 1,608 locations and boasts sales of more than $4billion.
According to the Los Angeles Times, Chick-fil-A workers are trained 'to focus on values rooted in the Bible,' and the eateries nationwide are closed on Sundays.
Mr Cathy said: 'We don't claim to be a Christian business.
'Companies are not lost or saved, but certainly individuals are but as an organisation we can operate on biblical principles.'
In response to Chick-fil-A's Facebook statement there was a range of criticism and support for the company's position.
One user posted: 'I believe that anytime a person or a business uses their time and money to ensure that someone does not have an ability or a right they are not acting with grace, only with selfish intent and fear.'
Another posted: 'You can stop eating there if you want but I don't think he should have to change his values and beliefs.
'You want you rights to be "gay" but you want to take our right to believe what we want from us?'
On Twitter user posted: 'I shall not ever eat at chick-a-fil-a again.'
The company, founded in 1946 by Cathy's father, S. Truett Cathy, has also come under fire for donating more than $3million between 2003 and 2009 to Christian organisations with a well-known anti-gay agenda, among them the Marriage & Family Foundation and the Family Research Council.
According to a report from LGBT advocacy group Equality Matters, in 2010 alone Chick-fil-A gave nearly $2million to such causes.

Physical layer channel modeling is critical for design and performance evaluation at multiple layers of the communications protocol stack. In this article we describe and provide results for modeling vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) wireless channels. V2V settings produce some unique conditions, and due to these conditions, V2V channels often exhibit greater dynamics than many conventional channels and, in addition, can also exhibit more severe fading. Thus, new channel models are needed to characterize this setting in order to evaluate contending transmission schemes and aid in V2V communication system design. A brief review of key statistical channel parameters is provided. Then both analytical and experimental V2V channel results are presented from the existing literature, and from our own measurement and modeling campaigns for the 5 GHz band. We also show the effects of these V2V channels on two types of transmission schemes.

A "'game changer"? Is it "magical" and "revolutionary" too? :-)
(thinking of Apple's favorite marketing clichés.)
A $5,000 Hasselblad smartphone? :-) JK
Andreas V should try complaining to the Chinese government. :-)
"China targets Nikon in annual expose"
D'oh! (What was Nikon thinking.)
And, on their unreleased DL line, Nikon states that there are "serious issues with the integrated circuit for image processing".
Not good.
From Canon, here is some technical background about the camera.
The power of 7: creating the PowerShot G7 X Mark II
FuhTeng: I have Lynda.com through my local library and the photography courses have been useful, and it's free to me, so I'll stick with that. There are so many of these types of courses out there, I'm sure having Canon's name on it will help, but how else to distinguish itself? Or is Canon branding enough, like Trump university?
@solarsky: Canon is all about distracting your attention from Pentax et. al.
Pentwho? Pentax's market share is so miniscule that Canon has no reason to be concerned about them.
"...with many thanks to the DIGIC 7 processor..." -DPR
For people who prefer a (fixed-centered) EVF, it will be nice when DIGIC 7 is available in the Canon G5 X line.
"as is typical of Canon cameras (even compacts), the colors are great." -DPR
This is an important factor that is often overlooked, because it doesn't show up on a spec sheet.
fatdeeman: All the canon fans who said only pros should be giving their opinions on these cameras are quiet today.
@fatdeeman: Your comment is based on the fallacy that canon fans usually have negative things to say about Nikon. They generally don't.
Excellent article and photos.
(sarcasm) I though the only thing that mattered was a camera's DxOMark Sensor Score. :-)
The D500 was announced in 2016, and some of them came from the factory with pre-2013 batteries? If so, it sounds like Nikon has inventory management problems.
What company will own Motorola brand cellphones next? :-) If memory serves, the company was sold to Google, who sold it to Lenovo.
Sony said that they were shutting down development and planned manufacturing of "high-functionality camera modules for external sale". I wonder if it was camera modules for Apple that they cancelled.
An alternative headline:
Sony RX10 III: Big camera, big price.
In the USA, Nikon 1 was introduced with television commercials featuring Ashton Kutcher. What could go wrong... :-)
Sony RX10 III destroys the pocketbook. :-)
Next, Barney should have the Minnesota Canoe Association teach him how to make a wood-strip solo canoe. Some of those are really works of art.
Cool video. Cool kayak.
"Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz?" - Janis Joplin
I would settle for a free Chevy Colorado pickup truck. :-)

Police Stun Step Dad Trying to Save Son from Fire
Riley Miller died early Oct. 31 in the Mississippi River town of Louisiana. A city police officer fired his stun gun at Ryan Miller as he tried to re-enter his burning home, which was destroyed. Grandmother Lori Miller says she witnessed two officers use the stun gun three times, twice after Ryan Miller had been handcuffed.
Miller suffered chest burns and was later released from the city jail without being charged. The family says it is considering legal action against the city.
City Administrator Bob Jenne called the police response a "judgment call."
Young Riley Miller was laid to rest on Monday at the Little Grove Cemetery near Walnut Hill following funeral services in Centralia. Local survivors include great grandmother Colleen Mayfield Sanders of Centralia.

(March 14, 2014) -- The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) College of Public Policy will sponsor the 44th annual conference of the Urban Affairs Association (UAA) from Wednesday, March 19 through Saturday, March 22 at the Westin Riverwalk.
More than 700 urban scholars from around the globe will convene to discuss 21st century issues impacting urban people and places around the world. These scholars represent universities, research institutions, and nonprofit and private organizations from North America, South America, Europe, Asia and Africa.
"The Urban Affairs Association has a long tradition of meeting in cities that both fascinate and challenge our understandings of urban life," said Margaret Wilder, UAA executive director. "San Antonio is a compelling choice because of its social and cultural diversity, primacy as a major American population center, rich political history and challenging economic future. We are extremely fortunate to have the support of the UTSA College of Public Policy in making our visit to this great city a rewarding one."
The conference will include several sessions addressing topics pertaining to San Antonio including streets and healthy living, municipal public policies and environmental degradation of certain San Antonio districts, and city policy and politics.
"Through this conference, my colleagues within the field of urban scholarship will have an opportunity to see and learn about the urban issues that are exemplified in our diverse, multi-cutural growing metropolitan area," said Heywood Sanders, a public administration professor in the College of Public Policy and chair of the UTSA conference sponsorship committee.
The keynote speakers for the event will be Ernesto Cortés Jr., co-director of Industrial Area Foundations; David Montejano, a professor of ethnic studies and history and former chair of the Center for Latino Policy Research at the University of California, Berkeley; and Christine Drennon, director of the Urban Studies Program at Trinity University.
The Urban Affairs Association is the international professional organization for urban scholars, researchers and public service professionals. It includes a membership of more than 600 institutions, individuals and students from colleges and universities throughout North America, Europe and Asia.

Pharis & Jason Romero
Long Gone Out West Blues
US: 5 Feb 2013
UK: Import
Canadian folk duo Pharis and Jason Romero released their debut album Back Up and Push in 2010, followed by 2011's A Passing Glimpse. Now comes Long Gone Out West Blues, an album that placed emphasis squarely on the pair's sweetly harmonized vocals and clean, skillful fingerpicking. Instrumentation is minimal here; this is a singin'-and-strummin' record from start to finish, with guitar and banjo encompassing the whole of the sonic palette. Fortunately, the musicianship is up to the task, and songs like "Lonely Home Blues" and the title track have enough bounce to canter along at a satisfying clip. A handful of traditional tunes like "Sally Goodin" and "Wild Bill Jones" (a song covered by everybody from Peter Rowan to Alison Krauss, among many others) serve to leaven the originals. Some of these, like "Come On Home", are compelling, but others, like the languid "The Little Things Are Hardest in the End", fall on the wrong side of the mellow/dull divide. Such missteps are few, though. Overall, this is a satisfying, if somewhat sedate, slice of Canadian Americana.

The new ad skin seems to not work properly, at least under my custom-width. The home page and articles are scaling down fine, but the forums are now a good 140% of the screen width.
Also, the front page layout is still not sticking, despite not getting logged out.

I just hit the road and switched to my MBP laptop. This might have been mentioned before, as I haven't read every post. On FF24 and after updating to FF25 on my mac if I minimize side bar everything shifts to the right and I have a big space to the left. This is not an issue in Safari, so I imagine it must be a bug in FF mac version. I also don't have this weirdness in FF on my PC at home running Win7.
The list view with pics on the front page has grown on me. I think it just needs minor tweaks. Still hate the grid view as its too busy and its one of the reasons I don't have any saved searches on ebay popping up on the front page annoying the hell out of me. However, I want to say thank you for giving us some options (unlike other sites that like to dictate how users interact with the site), its appreciated. I also hate drop down menus for various reasons, but I wont get into that now. On the other hand, the site seems to work fine on my iPhone. I haven't gone too deep with the phone but so far it seems fairly clear and visible.

I know ads are a necessary evil, but can they please NOT take up well over 40% of the entire screen? Not exaggerating either, I measured. Aniplex must be paying you guys bank or something.
Edit: The front page has even more ads, way more than 40%.
2nd Edit: Okay, I see I can re-skin those ads to something else. I guess the younger visitors might find that nifty or something (do they visit often enough for that to even be an attractive feature?), but does that really need to take up so much space? Cripes...

|Please, don't overemphasize the title of each article and each headline. They're harder to read that way. Larger size, color, and bold are too much. Two of the three is fine, or any one of the three. All three is overkill and diminishes readability. Major headlines and section titles, sure. Every article's title, hell no. It's amateurish.

OK, here's one thing that really annoys me...
Every MyAnime/Manga page is displayed differently. The problem is that they ignore Text width preferences that you can set in the Account settings section (I have it set at 140). Here's what I mean
The way I see the forum:
The way I see my MyAnime page:
And, as an example, here's the way I see errinundra's MyAnime page:
Basically, all you need to do is to make it so that Text width settings would work on every page. Is it that hard?
Or maybe I'm wrong. Maybe this doesn't have anything to do with Text width. Either way, it's very annoying. Please do something to fix it.
Oh, and I almost forgot. Could you please put category lists in My Anime/Manga pages outside the sidebar? Or at least make an option to do so? Because I personally always have the sidebar minimized (if you ask me, the only place it belongs to is the main page), and it's very inconvenient how I always have to scroll down to get to my Seen some and Seen all lists because of how huge my Want to see list is. Of course, the same problem is present when checking out other people's lists too. It just makes no sense for category lists to be at the bottom of the page.

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla.
FIRST PITCH: The Mets get their first glimpse of the Atlanta Braves this afternoon as Tim Hudson and crew visit Tradition Field.
Jeremy Hefner, who might be the rotation alternative if Johan Santana cannot get ready for the start of the season, pitches for the Mets, along with Rafael Montero and Bobby Parnell.
Monday's news reports:
• Santana was displeased with all the attention he received Sunday, a day after Sandy Alderson said he the southpaw did not come into camp in pitching shape and suggested it might be 10 days before Santana stepped onto a mound. Perhaps driven by the negative attention, pitching coach Dan Warthen suggested, Santana threw off a mound Sunday for the first time since Feb. 19. Catcher Anthony Recker set up in front of the plate to cut the distance during the light session.Courtesy of New York Mets
Johan Santana was not a happy camper Sunday.
"What's spring training for?" an agitated Santana asked reporters. "What's practice? To get you better. That's what I'm doing right now. That's what I'm here for, and that's what I'm going to do. That's what I'm working on."
Columnist Joel Sherman in the Post isn't impressed with how the Mets handled the Santana issue. Writes Sherman:
All in all, this was another Amway moment for the Mets. There was nothing technically wrong with how either party behaved -- like there is nothing technically wrong with partnering with a company that has been accused of being a pyramid scheme. It just looks terrible when this organization is trying to regain credibility that it is trustworthy and knows what it is doing.
Here were the Mets claiming to have both monitored Santana this offseason -- which Alderson said they did -- and being shocked he did so little work he was not ready to pitch at the outset.
Read more in the Record, Newsday, Post, Daily News, Star-Ledger and MLB.com.
• Kirk Nieuwenhuis suffered a left-knee injury stealing second Sunday. Read more in the Daily News and MLB.com.
• Dillon Gee tossed three scoreless innings in his first appearance against major leaguers since undergoing surgery at last year's All-Star break and John Buck produced a three-run homer against his former club, but the Mets lost to the Marlins, 6-4, Sunday in Jupiter, Fla. Read more in the Star-Ledger, Post, Newsday and MLB.com.
• Warthen told Mike Kerwick in the Record he hopes to have Zack Wheeler (oblique) back on a mound midweek and in a game in about seven days.
• David Lennon in Newsday notes Mike Piazza did himself little favor with his autobiography if he hoped to be honored by the Mets. Writes Lennon:
The committee for the franchise's own Hall of Fame has yet to meet on any of this year's candidates, including Piazza, but the Mets weren't thrilled by some of the catcher's comments about the club in "Long Shot." COO Jeff Wilpon, who has the last word on both the Hall of Fame's recommendations and the retired numbers, was criticized in the book as Piazza claimed Wilpon urged him to play with an injury in a spring-training game because it was a sellout. Piazza also ripped longtime media relations director Jay Horwitz, who happens to be a member of the Mets' HOF committee, for not doing a better job of shielding the team's players.
"I felt he was more loyal to the writers and the broadcasters than he was to the players," Piazza wrote.
Are a few stinging sentences enough for one of the Mets' most popular stars of the past two decades to be alienated? That depends. Piazza also declined an invitation to attend SNY's unveiling of the team's 50 greatest players last year (he was No. 6) and team officials buzzed about that dis for months. There is little -- if any -- communication these days between Piazza and the Mets, who are confused as to why he's pulled away to this degree.
• Mets bullpen coach Ricky Bones has left camp to serve as the pitching coach for Puerto Rico in the World Baseball Classic.
• Ken Belson in the Times takes a look at the team's Mr. Met hats. Belson writes that teams are permitted to wear these new spring-training caps during regular-season games as well, although the Mets would not say if they planned to do so.
• Third base used to be a revolving door for the Mets. But since mid-2004, and presumably now for another eight seasons, it will belong to David Wright. So Jared Diamond in the Journal asked players who also man that position in camp what it feels like to be boxed out. The Mets are playing Wilmer Flores at second base, not third base, in Grapefruit League games -- although the in-season plan apparently remains for Flores to be used at both spots. Writes Diamond:
Since 2005, only one player has appeared in more games at any position for one team than Wright's 1,184 at third with the Mets: Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano (1,197). And while Cano's impending free agency makes his future with the Yankees murky, Wright will likely be a Met for life. … That leaves any third baseman in the Mets system with two options: pray for a trade that may never come -- or find a new position.
"I can't be David Wright. I'm not trying to be David Wright," said Zach Lutz, who has played 269 minor-league games at third base over the past six seasons.
• Jeff Wilpon told Jon Heyman at CBSSports.com he is rooting for Jason Bay to succeed in Seattle. The Mets still owe Bay $21 million this year, but they deferred $15 million of that sum.
"I wish Jason nothing but the best," Wilpon said. "He was a great teammate. He did everything he could. He put in a lot of work, and he was always at his locker. He's a stand-up guy. It just didn't work out. It was best for him and for us to part ways. If he was a jerk, maybe I'd feel differently. But he's a great person. I'll root for Jason Bay 100 times out of 100 times."
• From the bloggers … The Eddie Kranepool Society suggests the Mets need Santana ready in July, at the trade deadline, not on Opening Day. … Mike V's Countdown to Opening Day at Mets Police stops off at 1998. It marked the first regular-season game played in New York City in March.
BIRTHDAYS: Jack Fisher, who lost 24 games for the '65 Mets despite a 3.94 ERA, was born in 1939.
best game ever tonight at 205 came after the real games were over! @givemethelefty was the ringer stepping in 4 David's team #notcountingit

Cubs reportedly have 2-year deal with Hairston
Moving to upgrade their right-handed-hitting outfield options, the Cubs apparently have agreed to a two-year contract with free agent Scott Hairston.
It is reported to be a two year contract worth about $6 million.

Yep, they are doing what I was worried about last year which is turn themselves into a BTF Wet Dream Team.3. SteveM. Posted: January 24, 2013 at 02:12 PM (#4354246)
Yes, but they aren't weighing themselves down with long term contracts (save for 4 years for Jackson), and none of these signings block a youngster. They had to do something after trotting out a team of dreck save for Castro and Rizzo in August and September.4. Petunia inquires about ponies Posted: January 24, 2013 at 02:14 PM (#4354249)
could wind up platooning with left-handed hitter Nate Schierholtz in right field if Soriano isn't traded and Brett Jackson doesn't make the team. That would move David DeJesus to a corner spot.5. Walt Davis Posted: January 24, 2013 at 03:32 PM (#4354320)
Um... So... RF: Schierholtz/Hairston platoon. Okay. Dejesus: Corner OF. Alright. Soriano: on the team. Jackson: Not on the team.
So Soriano is available to play CF?
Or is it supposed to mean L to R Soriano-Hairston-Dejesus vs LHP and Soriano-Dejesus-Schierholtz vs RHP?
The Run for 71 is in full swing now6. SteveM. Posted: January 24, 2013 at 03:39 PM (#4354327)
I think they mean that Soriano off the team would put Jackson in CF and DeJesus in RF (so these guys in LF I guess) ... Jackson in CF would put DeJesus to a corner and now the Cubs have too many OFs. Most likely it just means that Jackson starts in AAA where he belongs.
I say we put him at 3B. What the heck, he can't be worse than Moreland or Bonilla or Guerrero right? He could be as good as Miguel Cabrera!
Jackson is suppose to start the season at Iowa, working on actually making contact when he swings. I suspect it will be DeJesus who will be traded first as he only one year left on his contract. Though I also believe they would trade Soriano with the right offer, but that they are no longer in a hurry to do so since he played so well last year.7.

July 13th Overnight Law Enforcement & Fire/Medical wrap up
Some storms rolled through the area early last night. One of which decided that I needed to take a break from most of my scanners. I was among the thousands of KCP&L Customers in Johnson County that lost electricity around 9 p.m. The outage knocked me down to only my two handheld scanners that run on battery power. So I was still able to monitor LDCFM. My outage lasted until about 11:40 p.m.
LDCFM was pretty quiet after 10:30 p.m. when I started listening. Lawrence Fire units did respond on several reports of power line When my electricity was restored, I started monitoring Douglas County Law Enforcement, which was also surprisingly quiet.
LPD responded on several burglary alarms, most of which seemed to be related to the weather. Police also responded on several burglaries, including one around 4:30 a.m. at Walgreens that involved an unknown subject taking a woman's purse from her car in the parking lot.
Again, the activity blogged here is only a sampling of some of the things that Douglas County Law Enforcement and Lawrence-Douglas County Fire & Medical respond on. To see a complete list of Lawrence Police activity, the department has that available on their website along with several easy to use maps that show approximate locations for Police activity.

Bears QB Jay Cutler gaining confidence
There are 3 comments on the The Topeka Capital-Journal story from Nov 17, 2010, titled Bears QB Jay Cutler gaining confidence. In it, The Topeka Capital-Journal reports that:
Jay Cutler just needed some time. By winning two straight heading into Thursday night's game at Miami, the Chicago Bears have shown what can happen when Cutler has time to throw - and his teammates have more time in coordinator Mike Martz's offense.
Join the discussion below, or Read more at The Topeka Capital-Journal.
#1 Nov 17, 2010
I wouldnt feel any confidence. They played a viking team whose defense didnt even show up to the game. They obviously ate way too many sausages before the game while roaming around in the windy city before the game. Dolphin defense will show up and cutler will be back to throwin picks better than anyone in the league. Vikings will beat the packers this week but the bears will also lose so they can keep their tie for first in nfc north. Vikings best hope is to lose another with favre turning the ball over a few more times and helping himself, along with Bradley, out the door. Lions just need to keep their starting qb on the field and healthy. Stafford gets hurt more than anyone Ive ever seen.
#2 Nov 18, 2010
Im trying to think who the Dolphins 4th and 5th string QB's are. Better get them warming up, tonight's showtime.
#3 Nov 19, 2010
Bears "only" five games ahead of the Vikes for a shot at the playoffs. Packers have to win to keep up. I think the Pack will open a can of whoopass on the Vikes.

Japanese breaks pi memory record
Akira Haraguchi, 59, managed to recite the number's first 83,431 decimal places, almost doubling the previous record held by another Japanese.
He had to stop three hours into his recital after losing his place, and had to start from the beginning.
Pi is an infinite decimal whose numbers never repeat in a pattern.
Mr Haraguchi, from Chiba, east of Tokyo, took several hours reciting the numbers, finishing in the early hours of Saturday.
"I thank you all for your support," he told reporters and onlookers at the public hall in Tokyo.
He hopes to be listed in the Guinness Book of World Records to replace his fellow countryman Hiroyuki Goto, who managed to recite 42,195 numbers as a 21-year-old student in 1995.
Mr Haraguchi had already recited the ratio up to about 54,000 digits last September, but was forced to drop the challenge when the facility hosting the event closed for the night.
So far, pi haw been calculated to 1.24 trillion decimal places with the aid of a supercomputer.
Conventionally, 3.14159 is used as pi.
Pi is known for turning up in all sorts of scientific equations, including those describing the DNA double helix, a rainbow, ripples spreading from where a raindrop fell into water, waves, navigation and more.

Google "Project Bloks" education kit starts with RPi Zero
Google's "Project Bloks" education platform is built around a Raspberry Pi Zero that controls baseboards that talk to "Puck" inputs via a capacitive sensor. Google announced a Project Bloks hacker platform for kids, developed with IDEO and Paulo Blikstein of Stanford University. A prototype has been built based on the Linux-driven Raspberry Pi Zero SBC, and now Google is seeking researchers, developers, and designers who are interested in using the technology "to build physical coding experiences." Later this year, Google will conduct a remote research study with the help of these partners.

Get ready Bermuda, reggae star won't be doing things by halves
Reggae star Half Pint has put his local fans on alert, declaring: "I'm coming to Bermuda to represent."
"I'm coming to represent and perform like it's my last performance," he told The Royal Gazette. "This is my first time performing in Bermuda and I want to make it memorable for the audience."
The Jamaican reggae singer is set to perform at next month's Annual Veterans in Action Show at CedarBridge Academy alongside the equally as talented Admiral Tibet and Courtney Melody.
The upcoming show promises to be a very special occasion for Half Pint, whose real name is Lindon Andrew Roberts.
The occasion will mark the first time he's performed on these shores while the concert is being held on the eve of his 52nd birthday.
"I've never been to Bermuda so this is a first time for me and November 11 is going to be my birthday," he said. "I will be celebrating my birthday in Bermuda so it will be a very special and memorable occasion."
Born in Kingston, Jamaica, Half Pint rose to prominence in the 1980s with classic hits such as 'Sally', 'Winsome' and Mr Landlord' to name a few.
It's classics such as these he plans to perform at the upcoming show.
"They are going to be getting some of those songs they have been hearing that I've been doing from the past , . . all of them hit songs like Mr Landlord, Winsome and Lover's Rock Dancehall," he explained.
Half Pint also plans to perform what he termed as "liberating songs".
"They are also getting some liberating sounds of people from history wanting to be self sufficient and live an independent way of life," he added. "Those songs like 'Freedom Fighter' and 'One Big Family' which remind people that the family that prays together stays together."
The reggae great is looking forward to performing alongside the likes of Courtney Melody and Admiral Tibet.
"Me know them vibes and energy and they have supported me over the years," Half Pint said. "We support each and it's going to be a good stage performance."
The veteran Dancehall singer embarked on an extensive tour of Europe this past summer, performing in countries such as Italy, France, Spain, England, Switzerland, Netherlands, Belgium and Hungary.
"The people were quite receptive, it was like they were waiting a long time for me," he said. "I'm here in Jamaica and North America most of the time doing a lot of shows and recording but I took the time to go to Europe this summer. My first major tour was throughout Europe in 1986."
Half Pint grew up in the same Kingston enclave as late reggae greats Bob Marley, Dennis Brown and Peter Tosh.
Brown, in particular, had a profound on the singer who went onto to become a star in his own right.
"Dennis Brown is my number one," he declared. "Bob Marley did an interview and said Dennis Brown was his singer also from way back.
"In reality Dennis Brown wake the town and tell the people way before Bob Marley."
Half Pint began singing in the school choir at All Saints Primary School before thrusting himself into Jamaica's music industry in the late 1970s.
The singer views himself as a natural.
"In life you have some people who were born and some who became and I see myself born and inspired by the music," he said. "Music opened doors in my mind and let me feel more comfortable and bring forth joy to me.
"Music is a universal language but when you're born with certain inspiration about you it makes it more easier for you to take on other entities. Music is really a soulful entity towards humanity that I absorb easily and greatly deliver it back.
"The message of the music, where reggae music is concerned, talks to the soul of man. I realise what the music is saying and react."

Note: this is the discussion thread for this article

Posts: 78
I read both this and the Bloody Twins' volume on the same night in Barnes and Noble. I only bought this one. Pretty much speaks for itself.
Boris is my 2nd favorite choice of Alice's "suitors" - my first being Julius, and I'm starting to wonder if I'm the only one who feels that way - so I've been enjoying his series quite a bit. He's still more aggressive than I'm completely comfortable with, but they do a good job making it obvious that his forcefulness is without malice, and more just ignorance about how he should be acting.
Also, as someone who has been owned by cats all her life (and if you think it should be the other way around, you've never lived with a cat yourself...lol) I was impressed by how they blended his cat-like qualities with that of a teenage boy. My male kitty acts a lot like Boris, really. He just takes more naps.
The "dark sexual edge" of the other characters does get pretty disturbing, though. Especially Blood. spoiler[I was really surprised - and creeped out - when I first discovered that Blood was Alice's choice in the first series.]
Though I haven't been commenting on much of anything recently, I would like to say that I've been enjoying all the shoujo reviews you've been doing, Rebecca! I've done several blind buys based on your reviews, and I haven't regretted a single one.

Shouldn't be a surprise, bad boys, both literal and figurative, have always been popular with the ladies. Even if we wish it was otherwise.
It was the art that got me into the series. Wasn't too happy to discover that each book is an spoiler[alternate telling of a different romance for Alice.] Sadly for me the art still keeps me interested.

|Glad to see this get a pretty good review, I quite like this series. Boris is just so amazingly sexy...I do agree that the guys in this series can be quite...overbearing, though.

You're right, of course. I guess what threw me was that usually bad boys have a little more work put in them to make them seem more...attractive. Give them a tragic back story, or a really horrible set of circumstances that they are making the best they can with, or some honorable goal that they've taken to dangerous extremes...something, you know? I just felt like he wasn't given any of that.
Granted, I never read the last book. I was so deflated by the knowledge that he was her choice that I lost all interest. So, there may have been something in that final book that would have filled that void that I found in his story....and I'll admit, I was rooting for someone else the whole time, so I may have just missed what made him so attractive to Alice. But all I can remember is that spoiler[he looked like her ex.] Really?
Edit: whoops! My post was in response to TarsTarkas' post.
