Blogging from Baghdad: "I always love passing by the churches. It gives me a momentary sense that everything must be right in the world to see them standing lovely and bright under the Baghdad sun, not far from the local mosque. Their elegant simplicity is such a contrast with the intricate designs of our mosques." Thus writes "River," a young Muslim Iraqi woman heartbroken by the church bombings — and the mosque bombings, the cemetery bombings, the school bombings, the factory bombings, the house bombings… Read more.
Pray for the persecuted comedian: "We had several conversations in which he complained about the liberal media, and he believes very strongly that there's an anti-religious bias in this country, and particularly an anti-Christian bias…He kept complaining that he wasn't being put on the 'Tonight Show' or the Letterman show because of these biases, and I said, 'Well, up until about a couple of years ago, you didn't mention that you were a Christian or a conservative.' And, in fact, now that he's mentioned it, there's been a newspaper piece about him, he's gotten radio shows, he's being profiled in The New Yorker, he's actually gotten much more attention from the mainstream media." Adam Green and Matt Dellinger discuss Christian comedian Brad Stine in The New Yorker.
Some South Carolina local gov leaders are defying the recent ruling of the Fourth US Circuit Court of Appeals by continuing to pray to a specific god — that'd be Jesus — at government meetings. One county councilman, Tim Scott, described the ruling as part of a "continuing attack on Christianity," according to a report by an SC NBC affiliate. Local TV turns in a predictable, he said/she said story, leading us to wonder: How can journalists break the pressthink on unreconstructed prayer warriors? Read more.
Israel's Interior Ministry is investigating the appearance of a new question on the entry forms tourists must fill out before entering the country. Hilary Leila Krieger of The Jerusalem Post reports that the new question, which asks tourists to identify their religion, has only been noticed in the past few weeks. The addition coincides with the appointment of a new head of Population Registry, Sasi Katzir, and both the registry and ministry are trying to find out who created and distributed the new questionnaires.
Christian organizations in Indonesia plan to file a class action lawsuit against the country's government for maintaining a 1969 decree that they say unfairly regulates the construction of places of worship. The decree, which in part requires a religious community to seek approval from the local administration before building, has allegedly been misused to prevent Christians from building churches in Indonesia, the world's largest Muslim country. One man, reports Sari P. Setiogi in The Jakarta Post, said he had been waiting for more than 10 years to build a church in Bandung.

The thought of wine vineyards—to a wine connoisseur may reference thoughts of California and France. Here's a thought—made in China—has taken a new meaning. To create premium wines—domestic and foreign wine makers are investing millions of dollars in Chinese vineyards.
The World's wealthy are investing in prime vineyards—from 300-year-old Chateaux in Bordeaux. Stockbrokers say the demand for raw acreage is rising.
Will Densberger says, "I would say the Chinese are far and away number one for buyers right now." He also states, "The biggest demand is Taiwan."
A rich Chinese buyer purchased a vineyard in Napa for more than $3 million.
China's wealthy are also buying up vineyards in France. Chinese investors recently purchased the elite Chateau Bellfont-Belcier vineyard. A Chinese buyer recently purchased a vineyard of Gevrey-Chambertin in Burgundy for more than $8 million. Read more.......

Al Sharpton has determined that Florida is "ground zero" in his effort to end the "Stand Your Ground" laws on the books in twenty four states across the nation. He began the battle to fight against these laws by joining forces with the parents of Trayvon Martin and Jordan Davis today in a rally at the Florida State Capitol in Tallahassee.
Sharpton was also joined at the rally by the family of Marissa Alexander who was denied the right to use the controversial law and recently was granted a new trial where she stands a chance of facing 60 years instead of her mandatory 20 year sentence for firing a warning shot toward her estranged husband.
Tracy Martin the father of Trayvon Martin stated at the rally:
"It's just a blessing for everybody to come out and stand with us," Tracy Martin, Trayvon's father, told the Associated Press. "Everybody trying to stand in solidarity and show that these laws that don't apply to us, we're here to change them. They have to be changed."
Sharpton had hopes of meeting with lawmakers on the committee that has the oversight of the statues in the state but was unsuccessful in getting access to the lawmakers. Former Florida Governor Charlie Crist has announced his candidacy to regain the governorship of the state vowing that if elected he would repeal the "Stand Your Ground" law. Crist who was a longtime Republican became an Independent and is now a Democrat has hopes of upsetting current governor Rick Scott who supports the law as it is.
Al Sharpton stated at the rally:
"To have laws that tell people that they can shoot first and then ask questions later is a violation of our civil rights. I believe that law is inherently wrong," Sharpton said before the march began. "The law in effect says based on your imagination — if you imagine I'm a threat — you have the right to kill me.

At home, on the job, in a personal relationship, it's often not what you say but how you say it that counts. Deborah Tannen revolutionized our thinking about relationships between women and men in her #1 bestseller You Just Don't Understand. In That's Not What I Meant!, the internationally renowned sociolinguist and expert on communication demonstrates how our conversational signals-voice level, pitch and intonation, rhythm and timing, even the simple turns of phrase we choose-are powerful factors in the success or failure of any relationship. Regional speech characteristics, ethnic and class backgrounds, age, and individual personality all contribute to diverse conversational styles that can lead to frustration and misplaced blame if ignored-but provide tools to improve relationships if they are understood. At once eye-opening, astute, and vastly entertaining, Tannen's classic work on interpersonal communication will help you to hear what isn't said and to recognize how your personal conversational style meshes or clashes with others. It will give you a new understanding of communication that will enable you to make the adjustments that can save a conversation . . . or a relationship.

Christi from CLB CeLeBrations puts on a party to celebrate the end of the school year. She usually invites just grandparents, but this year invited neighbors and some widowed aunts to be a ministry to them. There are snacks and then the chidlren share what they have learned about the theme unit they studied for the year. This year they studied the Fruit of the Spirit from the Bible to help them all understand how we should not only treat one another but everyone around us. We went with a green apple theme and used greens and browns for the colors.
Green apple cake pops, green fruit with dip, caramel corn in green polka dot cupcake liners, meatballs, cheese and crackers, and green and brown M&Ms highlighted the snack table. Since most of it were finger foods we made green apple topped kabob sticks to stab meatballs and fruit so we didn't need plasticware.
The children quoted Scriptures that they have been memorizing that speak of the Fruit of the Spirit sang songs, then did a skit we made that went along with a book that we all love, including a song we wrote that goes with the book. It was truly a fun and enjoyable time for eveyrone. The children also passed out party favors and thanked their guests for coming. The party favors were brown paper lunch bags with a small loaf of pumpkin bread and a jar of apple butter. Each bag was clipped with a wooden clothes pin that had a ceramic green apple on it that the children hand painted.

VOIP Course Outline
ECVP Exam information

Internet and computer technology have already changed the way people living, work and communicate. VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) is one of the converged technologies behind this communication revolution.
VoIP is the family of technologies that allow IP networks to be used for voice applications, such as telephony, voice instant messaging, and teleconferencing. VoIP entails solutions at almost every layer of an IP network from specialized voice applications (like Skype) all the way down to low-level quality measures that keep those applications running smoothly.
VoIP and IP telephony are becoming increasingly popular with large corporations to consumers alike. Internet Protocol (IP) is increasingly viewed as more than just a way to transport data, but also as a tool that simplifies and streamlines a wide range of business applications. Telephony is the most obvious example. VoIP—or voice over IP—is also the foundation for more advanced unified communications applications that can have an increasingly transformative effect on the way you do business.

Montpelier teen honored for 4-H accomplishments
MONTPELIER A 16-year-old Montpelier 4-H Club member has been recognized as the 2012 Washington County 4-Her of the Year.
Emily Campbell, daughter of Jack and Pamela Campbell, was selected for her leadership, service and mastery of projects.
It was definitely a surprise, Campbell said.
A friend of hers, Spaulding High School student Mariah Harding, won the award from the Washington County 4-H Foundation the previous year.
As a seven-year member of the Partridge Hill Horse Lovers 4-H Club, Campbell has excelled in the horse project and earned a spot on the University of Vermont Extension state 4-H horse judging team that competed at the Eastern National 4-H Horse Roundup in Lexington, Ky., in November. The judges evaluate horses abilities in performing tasks and their breeding quality.
Being involved with that national horse event was a goal Campbell set for herself when she first joined 4-H.
The U-32 junior has been a club officer and served on the Vermont 4-H Teen Congress board.
As a board member she helped plan this annual UVM Extension event, which brings 4-Hers from throughout the state to the UVM campus for three days of educational workshops, team-building exercises, community service projects and fun activities, according to a 4-H news release.
Campbell credited the many life skills she learned in 4-H including leadership and organization as one of the reasons she was selected to represent the United States as a delegate to the International Earth Science Olympiad in Buenos Aires in October.
At the Washington County Youth Leader Presentations and 4-H Achievement Night in November, she gave a presentation on her experiences at the earth science event.

The A's Scott Kazmir held the Yankees to three hits and Eric Sogard got a timely bloop single in the second inning to give the Oakland A's a 5-1 victory Saturday night at he O.co Coliseum in Oakland. Kazmir improved his record to 8-2 while lowering his ERA to 2.05.
Working quickly, Kazmir mowed down the Yankees retiring the first eight batters then walked Kelly Johnson and gave up his first hit to Brett Gardner in the third inning. Andy Perrino committed a throwing error on a Derek Jeter ground ball allowing Johnson to score from third for the only Yankee run. After walking Jacoby Ellsbury, Kazmir got Alfonso Soriano to ground into a fielder's choice to end any additional damage.
Kelly Johnson doubled to lead off the sixth inning. After going to third on a Gardner ground out, was thrown out at the plate trying to score on a two-hop, weakly-hit ball off the bat of Derek Jeter to second baseman Eric Sogard who threw a strike to catcher John Jaso.
The Yankees Hiroki Kuroda had control issues early. Sandwiching two walks around a Stephen Vogt single in the second inning, Kuroda gave up an Eric Sogard two-RBI single to centerfield that gave the A's all the runs they'd need for the win.
The A's would tack on two runs in the bottom of the fifth and one more in the eighth on Andy Perrino's first-major-league-hit double to left field that scored Chris Gentry who'd batted for Stephen Vogt and reached base on a bunt single past relief pitcher David Huff.
Derek Jeter went 0 for 4.
The left field lights partially went out in the fourth inning creating a delay for 38 minutes with both teams sitting in their respective dugouts as umpires, managers and stadium officials all stood on the field, on or near home plate, discussing the how to resolve another Oakland Coliseum malfunction.
Scott Kazmir took it in stride, "I've had some long innings this year so I've had a little bit of practice."
Bob Melvin attributed the outage to a superstition. " It's probably a carry over from yesterday being Friday the 13th? It seemed a little crazy"
Earlier in the season flooding of the Coliseum clubhouses and overflowing toilets caused a game to be postponed.
Eric Sogard said it best, "That's the Coliseum for ya. That's why we love this place, ya never know what you're gonna get."
Most would beg to differ that his assessment of people's emotion regarding the Coliseum is anything but "Love."
The finale of the three-game set is Sunday afternoon at 1:05 p.m. with Yankees' Vidal Nuno (1-2) facing Oakland's Jesse Chavez (5-4).

How to Pose and Direct Your Photo Subjects
You, the digital photographer, sometimes have to arrange a photo. Maybe you need to direct where everyone stands or how those chairs are arranged. Don't be afraid to play photo stylist, giving direction to your human subjects and arranging your non-human ones:
Give directions on where you want people to stand, how to stand, and so on.
You might even consider getting into the position that you want your subjects to take, so they can see firsthand what you want.
Use props, such as trees or cars, to arrange people around.
Just make sure the props don't become the main focus of the portrait.
Use a variety of poses.
Don't be afraid to move people around, or have some stand while others sit, and so on.
Get direction help.
If you're dealing with a large group of people, rambunctious kids, or excited pets, get someone to help direct. Having a second person there to keep the crowd organized and focused, and all looking towards the camera can be a lifesaver.
Try to get people to relax.
You can get good photos from posed subjects, but only if they don't hate the experience.

Thank you for your support. It has been a busy first term in the Minnesota House of Representatives and with your continued support I'd like to return to St. Paul as your state representative.
We have had some great accomplishments during my first two years, which has brought forth a number of reforms and helped Minnesota live within its means. I was proud to be the Chief Author of the following bills, which became law in Minnesota. These bills
• Will increase funding to K-12 public education by changing the management structure of school trust lands.
• Stopped state mandated requirement for tiered pricing of city water rates, which would have gouged high water users like schools, hospitals, and others.
• Provided 10 million dollars in bonding funds for the Local Road Improvement Program and another 30 million dollars for bridges.
I was also proud to support a budget plan that led the State from a $5.1 billion deficit to a $1.2 billion surplus. However, there is still more work to be done.
I would appreciate your vote and support on Tuesday, November 6, 2012. Please remember to vote TIM O'DRISCOLL.
Best Regards,

Dancing Lamb Farm & Icelandic Sheep Dairy
Dancing Lamb ewes doing what they do best - on a beautiful fall day.
We have been breeding for increased milkiness (we milked and made cheese commercially in the past). Our
ewes have their lambs on pasture and are great moms. The babies are vigorous and are up and nursing quickly.
We've retained family lines that are friendlier and easier to handle (so they would take to the milking parlor more
easily). We are also interested in quality fleeces and are proud of our beautiful sheep of many colors and patterns.
Now that we have "downsized" a bit, we have chosen to focus on horned Icelandic's (they have always been our
favorites). Our current flock have been chosen from a pretty large selection of ewes and rams that are the culmination
of 15 years of breeding They are the creme of the crop and their offspring are wonderful.
All our sheep are OPP, SCRAPIE, Johnies, Brucellosis, TB and Foot-rot free.

I have been testing one of Frank's power cables over the last few days with some interesting results. He kindly sent me a Stratos cable which, I believe sits below his top of the range Jupiter cable but above the Mercury. My system is currently wired up through standard kettle leads that Cyrus provide when you buy a component. The only specialist cable is an Istotek power cable on my Pre-X.
I am now very happy with my system and feel I want to get the very best from it in terms of bass, treble and overall soundstaging, but know that tweaks are going to be subtle improvements if anything.
First up, I hooked the Stratos onto my Cd player and sat back with a coffee. After about 5 minutes it was clear that the bass was tighter through the Dyn's and there was more air and life around the music with vocals rolling off slightly more. Yello's Stella album was on and my foot was tapping well. Pleased with the subtle improvements all round.
Next I moved the Stratos onto the Pre-X and this is where I feel the biggest improvement came. If anything with the cable on the Cd player there was a hint of clinicalness and dryness to the sound, but on the Pre Amp the sound was much more rounded with a much more natural texture. Timing is absolutely spot on using this cable, the bass is rock solid as before there was a sense that the Mono'd Smarts were doing a good job controlling the Dyn's but there was a touch of flabbiness to the bass. Not now.I was considering buying a Nordost Shiva as the performance enhancement when I tried 4 of those on my set up was a step forward indeed. However, I seem to be getting the same results from the Stratos at a third of the cost so think I may stick with this one. Going to see if I can get hold of a Shiva at the weekend to do a back to back comparison.
So I guess all good so far! I can only recommend you try these and see what you think. It's working for sure on Mr R's rig! Believe the Jupiter is quite something...Technobear? Your thoughts?

Meddy Gerville: Barmine
Meddy Gerville (vocals, piano, vox, percussion)
Fo Kronm la vi (MEA Records 2008)
Meddy Gerville (vocals, piano, vox, percussion),
Jim Celesin (saxes), Michel Alibo (bass), Laurent Lebeau (drums), Jerome Calcine (percussion), unnamed guests.
Composed by Meddy Gerville.
Recorded: released May, 2008
Rating: 89/100 (learn more)
When you first hear Meddy Gerville, you are not sure exactly what to make of his music. His sound is a rare combination that at first seems familiar yet upon further listening defies simple categorization. His voice is in itself an accomplished instrument, a hint of Milton Nascimento with a touch of Al Jarreau. His compositions are both refreshingly joyful and surprisingly complex, with Joe Zawinul and Weather Report being a likely influence. A native of Réunion island, a French territory in the Indian Ocean with one of the world's most ethnically diverse populations, Gerville is a talented pianist, composer and vocalist, and has recently collaborated with such master musicians as monster drummer Horacio "El Negro" Hernandez and former John McLaughlin bassist Matt Garrison, who have been drawn to Gerville's unique musical patois.
On "Barmine," Meddy Gerville's vocals are on full display. His ability to dancingly sing in his native Réunionnaise, a dialect of French, in such rapid Brazilian-style phrasing is most impressive. Accompanied by an able rhythm team, Gerville's piano solo is both inventive and steeped in the jazz tradition. This song keeps you tapping your feet throughout. The rhythms are Afro-Brazilian centric, but somehow that description doesn't quite do them justice. The Réunion islanders who are born of multiethnic backgrounds call themselves Creoles, just like the natives of New Orleans. Perhaps this is the new Creole music, but I believe it is more aptly described as true "World Music" of the highest order. In this worthy offering by a talented artist from a remote part of the world, Meddy Gerville has embraced the jazz idiom to create his own musical gumbo that deserves to be savored.

Samsung (NASDAQOTH:SSNLF) has been having a bit of a hard time in the smartphone market as of late. Though the company's mobile group is still immensely profitable, it now faces more intense competition across all of its product tiers, and it faces the additional complication of a slowing high-end mobile market. These factors contributed to the staggering 21% drop in Samsung's mobile device sales last quarter on a year-over-year basis.
It's too early to tell whether the recently released Galaxy Note 4 or its sister product, the Galaxy Note Edge, will be able to help Samsung's mobile group return to growth. However, here are three companies poised to benefit should the Note 4 take off.
No. 1: Qualcomm
According to AnandTech, the Galaxy Note 4 packs a 2.7 GHz Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM) Snapdragon 805 applications processor. Additionally, it looks as though Qualcomm's latest-and-greatest modem, the MDM9x35, found its way inside of the phone as well.
The Snapdragon 805 is likely one of Qualcomm's most expensive (and likely highest margin), if not the most expensive, applications processor in its arsenal. Similarly, the MDM9x35 is likely -- as the company's most feature-rich modem -- Qualcomm's most expensive modem.
If the Galaxy Note 4 sells well, then Qualcomm's chip business should see a nice boost in both revenue and, potentially, margin.
No. 2: Synaptics
Human interface solutions developer, Synaptics (NASDAQ:SYNA), should also be a winner if the Galaxy Note 4 takes off. Though an official tear-down has yet to confirm that the fingerprint reader that comes with the Galaxy Note 4 is built by Synaptics, Sam Mobile reported about a week ago that the Note 4 would indeed feature a Synaptics fingerprint sensor.
Now, what's even more interesting about the Synaptics touch story is that while it should benefit nicely from the incremental volumes that the Note 4 will bring, the touch opportunity beyond Samsung seems far from fully exploited.
In fact, in an interview with CNET, Synaptics CEO Rick Bergman indicated that "a lot" of other manufacturers would be bringing to market mobile devices with fingerprint reading capabilities. If this holds true, and if many of those come from Synaptics, then the company should continue to see robust growth in the coming years as fingerprint sensors take hold, following the trend started by devices like the iPhone, Galaxy S, and Galaxy Note.
No. 3: (Potentially) InvenSense
According to a tear-down performed in March, it was revealed that Samsung's Galaxy S5 featured a 6-axis InvenSense (NYSE:INVN) motion sensor. It is likely that InvenSense kept the motion sensor socket inside of the Galaxy Note 4, so that it isn't an incremental opportunity (unless, of course, Samsung ended up using a more expensive sensor).
However, Samsung did announce that the Galaxy Note 4 will feature Optical Image Stabilization -- something that was notably absent from the Galaxy S5 and the prior Note 3. According to a letter from Rosenblatt Securities back in July, InvenSense is providing the OIS sensor into the Note 4.
As is the case with Synaptics' fingerprint readers, while InvenSense should benefit if the Note 4 sells well, the longer-term benefit is that as competitors rush to compete with Samsung, they, too, will eventually need to adopt OIS. While InvenSense isn't the only company that provides this technology, it is certainly poised to compete for and win additional phones, fueling longer-term growth.
Leaked: Apple's next smart device (warning, it may shock you)
Apple recently recruited a secret-development "dream team" to guarantee its newest smart device was kept hidden from the public for as long as possible. But the secret is out, and some early viewers are claiming its everyday impact could trump the iPod, iPhone, and the iPad. In fact, ABI Research predicts 485 million of this type of device will be sold per year. But one small company makes Apple's gadget possible. And its stock price has nearly unlimited room to run for early in-the-know investors. To be one of them, and see Apple's newest smart gizmo, just click here!

Iceland is doing a feasibility study into building a 1160 kilometre power cable to Scotland to take as much as 18 terawatt hours of geothermal and hydro power a year. That's enough for about 5 million homes in Europe. This power cable would be the longest of its type ever built and would help the EU to reach its target of 20% clean energy by 2020.
You will remember Iceland from last year's volcano spewing ash across Europe, grounding flights across Europe and causing aviation nightmares around the world.
Iceland is trying to get back on its feet after Europe's worst financial crisis of the century and its own 2008 banking collapses left it in dire straits. In 2007 Iceland ranked as the fifth richest per capita in the world. But the 2008 crisis meant the krona plummeted 80% against the Euro offshore. Iceland lives with earthquakes and volcanic activity and is now trying to monetise that activity and become a major source of geothermal power for Europe.
Landsvirkjun, a state owned utility that produces more than 75% of Iceland's electricity, is driving the feasibility study for the $2.1 billion power cable project. The Icelandic government considers that 75% of Iceland's potential energy is undeveloped and that only about 39% of the available geothermal energy is currently used to make electricity.
Iceland has not been a major player in the energy business until now, and this new drive to become supplier of clean energy to Europe comes at the same time as Norway and Denmark are looking to increase their supply of renewable energy to the continent.
The people of Iceland suffered hugely from the frenetic and crazy activities of the financial dealings that lead to the banking collapses of 2008. This path as supplier of renewable energy looks way more sensible.

Kim Kardashian's wedding gown has finally been revealed on Monday, May 27. Fans only got a blurry photo of her wedding dress from a fan account on Twitter during the weekend. Rumors swirled that Kim got married in a Givenchy Haute Couture gown with long lace sleeves and a long silk veil. Many women on MillionaireMatch are sure to be inspired by this look for their future spring and summer weddings.
Kim's wedding gown is custom-made for her body, but it looks similar to Givenchy's 2011 Haute Couture collection. Kim's gown was adorned with lace and pearls on the bodice. It also has sheer-inset cutouts at the sides and on the back. Kim's wedding dress also had a long dramatic train, not including the train on her veil. The dress looks as good on the back as it does in the front, thanks to designer Ricardo Tisci.
Ricardo is a longtime friend of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. He dressed Kim in Givenchy at the 2013 Met Gala. Ricardo took to Instagram to post a striking photo of Kim before she walked down the aisle. He captioned the photo, "Final friends fitting #biggestday #kimandkanye #love #paris #couture @KimKardashian @GivenchyOfficial."
The back view shows a real dramatic side of the gown. It has an open back with sheer-inset cutouts and illusion netting. The back view also shows that Kim's gown is belted. This gown is finished with a full train and a silk veil with soft romantic edges. Tisci is also spotted in the photo, gawking at the blushing bride as she gives herself one final look in the mirror. She completed her bridal look with parted hair and simple diamond jewels.
This Givenchy wedding dress was a surprising look for the 33-year-old. It's a very modest and demure look, but it still has a touch of sexiness with its curve-hugging shape and sheer-inset cutouts. Kim is known to show off her shape and to shed some skin. She's worn a mermaid style and ball gown style wedding dress during her last marriage to basketball player Kris Humphries. No one would ever image that she would don a long sleeve lace wedding dress during her nuptials to Kanye.
As stated before, Kim's Givenchy wedding dress looks similar to one of the gowns in the 2011 Haute Couture Collection. The silhouette is very similar to one of the lace gowns in the collection. The AW11 Collection is has gowns with lace sleeves, lace-inset cutouts, elongated shoulders and a lace bodice with sheer paneling, much like Kim's dress.
Kim's wedding dress looks like a subdued version of the collection even though hers is just as sexy. Tisci said about his collection, "White has become very strong – when women want to be sexy and romantic at the same time, white is there." This phrase fits perfectly with Kim's wedding day look. Her dress is still sexy even in white and lace. Women who found their future husbands on MillionaireMatch will surely look to Kim Kardashian and Givenchy as inspiration when shopping for their wedding dresses this year. This wedding dress will probably become one of the biggest bridal trends.

Russians Back Protests, Political Freedoms
A solid majority of Russians see attending protests as an opportunity to speak out about how the government is run, and more than half specifically approve of the mass demonstrations that followed the December 2011 parliamentary vote, which was marred by fraud allegations. Nonetheless, 72% of Russians voice a favorable opinion of Vladimir Putin.
Chapter 4. Views of Leaders
Just months after controversial parliamentary and presidential elections in Russia, the country's two top leaders, President Vladimir Putin and Prime Minister Dmitri Medvedev, enjoy solidly favorable ratings among the Russian public. Democratic stirrings among the public notwithstanding, the survey finds that favorable views of Putin are influenced first and foremost by economic factors: people who […]
Egyptians Remain Optimistic, Embrace Democracy and Religion in Political Life
A year after the ouster of Hosni Mubarak, a new nationwide survey finds that Egyptians remain upbeat about the course of the nation and prospects for progress. Most Egyptians continue to support democracy, and most also want Islam to play a major role in society.
Chapter 2. Key Leaders, Groups and Institutions
Despite the country's ongoing political conflict, many of the organizations and leaders that played key roles in last year's upheaval, such as the military, the Muslim Brotherhood and the April 6 Movement, remain popular. While the military's ratings may have dropped somewhat since 2011, a majority of Egyptians continues to hold a positive view of […]
Chapter 2. Views Toward Key Leaders, Groups, and Institutions
Still optimistic about the changes that have transformed their country's politics, most Egyptians offer positive opinions about the key players in the uprising that toppled President Hosni Mubarak. In particular, the military is overwhelmingly popular, as is its chief, Field Marshal Mohamed Tantawi. But Egyptians also give high marks to a disparate set of leaders […]
Egyptians Embrace Revolt Leaders, Religious Parties and Military, As Well
Egyptians of all ages, from all walks of life, and parts of the country continue to celebrate the dramatic political changes their nation has undergone. Overwhelmingly, they say it is good that former president Hosni Mubarak is gone. Nearly two-in-three are satisfied with the way things are going in Egypt, and most are optimistic about their country's future.
Brazilians Upbeat About Their Country, Despite Its Problems
Brazilians are relatively upbeat about the state of their country, although they still see serious challenges, including illegal drugs, crime and political corruption. And Brazilians are confident about their country's place in the world: most say Brazil already is or will eventually be one of the world's leading powers.
Chapter 3. Brazil and the World
Brazilians are confident and optimistic about their country's role on the world stage. A large majority believe that Brazil is either already one of the world's most powerful nations or that it will be eventually. And overwhelmingly, Brazilians think their country has a positive international image. Most Brazilians express confidence in the foreign policy skills […]
Concern About Extremist Threat Slips in Pakistan
Overwhelmingly, Pakistanis see terrorism as a major problem in their country and most have negative views of the Taliban and al Qaeda, but they have become less concerned over the last year that extremists will take over Pakistan. Meanwhile, Pakistanis continue to express serious concerns about the U.S. and their longtime rival India.
Chapter 6. Ratings of Leaders and Institutions
Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari's popularity has dropped further over the last year. The once-popular Zardari is now viewed unfavorably by a large majority of Pakistanis. In contrast, opposition leader Nawaz Sharif remains widely popular, as do Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, Army Chief General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani and Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani. Most […]
Mixed Views of Hamas and Hezbollah in Largely Muslim Nations
Across predominantly Muslim nations, there is little enthusiasm for the extremist Islamic organizations Hamas and Hezbollah, although there are pockets of support for both groups, especially in the Middle East.
Chapter 2. Rating Muslim Leaders
Largely Muslim publics express little confidence in a number of key Muslim leaders. Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah receives mostly negative ratings – except in the Palestinian territories and Jordan – while Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas fares even worse among the publics surveyed. Saudi King Abdullah is well-regarded among solid majorities in many of the […]
End of Communism Cheered but Now with More Reservations
Publics of former Iron Curtain countries generally look back approvingly at the collapse of communism. Majorities in most former Soviet republics and Eastern European countries endorse the emergence of democracy and capitalism. However, the initial enthusiasm about these changes has dimmed in most of the countries surveyed.
Most Mexicans See Better Life in U.S. – One-In-Three Would Migrate
Mexicans are overwhelmingly dissatisfied with the direction of their country and nearly six-in-ten say those who leave their country for the United States enjoy a better life there. One-in-three would move to the U.S. if they had the opportunity.
Pakistani Public Opinion
Pakistani public opinion has turned against al Qaeda and the Taliban, and no fewer than 69% of those polled express worry that extremists will take control of the nation. Ratings for President Asif Ali Zardari have also plummeted, as Pakistanis see their country in crisis.
Global Public Opinion in the Bush Years (2001-2008)
Once he takes office, President-elect Barack Obama will have to navigate a world that has grown highly critical of the United States. Since 2001, the Pew Global Attitudes Project has documented a decline in America's international image amid widespread opposition to U.S. foreign policy.
A Rising Tide Lifts Mood in the Developing World
A 47-nation survey finds that as economic growth has surged in much of Latin America, East Europe and Asia over the past five years, people are expressing greater satisfaction with their personal lives, family incomes and national conditions. The picture is different in most advanced nations, where growth has been less robust and citizen satisfaction has changed little since 2002.
Chapter 4. The Middle East and the Muslim World
Muslim publics around the world increasingly reject suicide bombing and other forms of violence against civilian targets in the defense of Islam. Overall, majorities in 15 of 16 Muslim publics surveyed say that suicide bombings can be rarely or never justified. Fully 77% of Muslims in Indonesia – and nearly as many in Bangladesh, Pakistan […]
America's Image Slips, But Allies Share U.S. Concerns Over Iran, Hamas
America's global image has again slipped and support for the war on terrorism has declined even among close U.S. allies like Japan. The war in Iraq is a continuing drag on opinions of the United States, not only in predominantly Muslim countries but in Europe and Asia as well. And despite growing concern over Iran's nuclear ambitions, the U.S. presence in Iraq is cited at least as often as Iran – and in many countries much more often – as a danger to world peace.
I. America's Image and U.S. Foreign Policy
With America's image declining in many parts of the world, favorability ratings for the United States continue to trail those of other major countries. In Europe, as well as predominantly Muslim countries, the U.S. is generally less popular than Germany, France, Japan, and China. However, the U.S. fares somewhat better in Asia; in fact, Indians […]
Chapter 2. Global Publics View Their Countries
The more than 38,000 people interviewed in the Global Attitudes survey are overwhelmingly dissatisfied with the way things are going in their countries today. Solid majorities in nearly every country in every region surveyed say they are unhappy with the state of their nation. Although just four-in-ten Americans (41%) have a positive view of national […]

Due to the different copyright regulations existing in Europe with respect to U.S. and Canada it is possible that some scores (typically tagged with the [EU] status at IMSLP) are public domain in the EU but not in the U.S. or Canada. This kind of scores cannot be made available at IMSLP.
IMSLP-EU is an autonomous initiative that has been undertaken in Europe to allow European users to access scores that are public domain in Europe but not in the U.S. or Canada. This is possible because IMSLP-EU servers are physically located in Europe (currently, in The Netherlands), so scores that are in the public domain in such territory can be freely used by anybody. This would be very beneficial for all users located in Europe and in other countries where similar copyright regulations apply.
IMSLP-EU is not affiliated with IMSLP, being a completely independent and autonomous initiative. Complete separation between IMSLP and IMSLP-EU is intended to avoid confusion between the respective roles, areas of competence, and applicable regulations: IMSLP follows U.S. and Canada regulations only, while IMSLP-EU follows EU regulations only (with reference to their specific application in The Netherlands).
The IMSLP-EU score catalogue is integrated within the Petrucci Music Library: there is no difference when searching IMSLP-EU scores with respect to IMSLP scores, as both sets are indexed in the catalogue of the library. However, when a score at IMSLP-EU is going to be downloaded by a user, a special page is presented so as to inform and warn the user that he/she is leaving the IMSLP context and entering the IMSLP-EU context, where different regulations apply. The same special page provides a PayPal link for donations to IMSLP-EU: being completely autonomous with respect to IMSLP, IMSLP-EU needs independent funds to cover its operational expenses.
As of today, about 1500 scores are available at IMSLP-EU. Further scores will be available in the future, depending on submissions from users. Submitting a score for IMSLP-EU can be done the same way a submission is done for IMSLP: the copyright review process will take care of checking the public domain status of the submitted score, that will be managed either by IMSLP or by IMSLP-EU accordingly.
We hope that this initiative will be appreciated by users located in Europe and in other countries applying similar copyright regulations.

Spider-Woman #44
Issue(s): Spider-Woman #44
Satisfied for the moment that Sabrina is not corrupt, she settles into routine detective work, depicted in the print equivalent of a montage scene...
...and learns her current whereabouts. On her way there - on a motorcycle borrowed by her boyfriend David - she's visited by a vision of Morgana Le Fey, who taunts her and remind her that she rejected Morgana's offer to join her in the fight against the elder demon Ch'thon.
When Spider-Woman tracks down Viper...
...she learns that Viper has been possessed by Ch'thon for over 50 years.
Spider-Woman helps her break free of the possession and prevents the demon from manifesting on Earth. And in the process, she learns that Viper is her mother, Merriam Drew.
It's not clear how this revelation fits with Brian Bendis' Spider-Woman Origin mini-series that depicts Jessica's mother, shows her pregnant prior to Jessica's birth, and shows her later murdered by Whiplash. It's also worth noting that in Marvel Two-In-One #33, Modred the Mystic showed Jessica an origin story in which her mother died from hysteria. Marvel's official word on the subject is that Viper was mislead by Ch'thon into thinking she was Spider-Woman's mother. But even in later Bendis written Spider-Woman stories, Jessica refers to Viper as her mother. So it's all a little confusing.
On the other hand, the revelation that Viper was possessed by Ch'thon helps explain the shift in her personality. In her earliest appearances, she was extremely radical and unnecessarily violent. In her later (Claremont-written) appearances, she is much more sophisticated and calm. We can chalk that up to Viper's personality gaining more control over Ch'thon.
Claremont's scripting is good, but i think tying Viper to Ch'thon and to Spider-Woman is just a little too random and doesn't really add much to either character.
Leialoha's art continues to be a good fit for this book.

Women's Track & Field Ready for Redemption at This Weekend's Heps

PRINCETON, N.J. (2/21/13) - The Princeton women's track and field team looks to return to the top of the podium as the 2013 Ivy League Heptagonal Championship takes place this weekend, Feb. 22 & 23 at Harvard.
Princeton had a three-year indoor streak halted last year by Columbia. It was one of the most disappointing weekends for Princeton last year as the Tigers finished sixth.
Princeton is one of the top contenders this year, owning the top mark in four events along with Columbia. Only Harvard has more with five. Cornell and Dartmouth have three top marks apiece.
Senior Abidemi Adenikinju, senior Erin Guty and sophomore Joanna Anyanwu will be the Tigers' best chances in the short sprints. They each have marks in the top 20 and Adenikinju has been a scorer before in the event, placing fifth as a freshman. In the 60 hurdles, junior Beth McKenna has potential as she has hit a PR twice already this season, most recently clocking a 9.05 at HYP.
Sophomore Cecilia Barowki has the best time in the league in the 400 and ranks fourth in the league in the 200. She ran the 200 just once this year and has the fourth-best time in the league at 24.77. Her main event is the 400. Barowski clocked a PR of 54.75 at HYP, just missing the school record. She was the runner-up in the event during the outdoor Heps.
Guty is a contender in the 200 as well, ranking in the top 10 with a 25.03. Other contenders in the 200 are Adenikinju and freshman Sara Ronde.
Senior Joie Hand and freshman Meghan McMullin also have the potential to score in the 400. Hand has been a scorer in the 400 hurdles and has run PRs each time she has run the 400 flat this season.
Four of the top 10 marks in the 800 belong to Tigers. Senior Greta Feldman boasts the best time at 2:08.78, the only runner in the league to run under 2:09. Senior Alexis Mikaelian is fifth at 2:09.79, followed by senior Kristin Smoot at 2:11.59 and senior Melissa Zajdel at 2:11.70.
Princeton also has four of the top 10 marks in the mile. Feldman ranks sixth at 4:45.44 with senior Mel Newbery running a 4:47.60 followed by Mikelian at 4:49.30 and sophomore Emily de La Bruyere at 4:51.04.
de La Bruyere has Princeton's best time in the 3000 at 9:26.62. She was a scorer during the outdoor season in the steeplechase.
Sophomore Jackie Nicholas and senior Abby Levene also rank in the top 10 in the event, both with times under 9:35. The pair also provide the Tigers' best times in the 5000. Nicholas' time of 16:33.69 is third in the league. Freshman Lindsay Eysenbach is a potential scorer as well.
The 4x800 relay has won in each of the last three indoor Heps. The Tigers enter the meet with the second-best time in the league. Junior Molly Higgins, junior Kacie O'Neil, Smoot and Mikaelian ran 9:04.43 at HYP. The 4x800 relay was second last year. The relay of Zajdel, Feldman, Barowski and Hand clocked a 3:46.08 at HYP to sport the third-best time in the league.
It will be a battle in the weight throw between freshman Julia Ratcliffe and Adabelle Ekechukwu of Harvard. Both reset Ivy League records this season. Ratcliffe set the mark twice to start the season with her best throw reaching 19.74. Ekecukwu found 20.11 at HYP two weeks ago. Junior Chelsea Cioffi could score points in the weight and shot put as well. She has a top-10 mark in the weight at 15.26 and has thrown to 11.50 in the shot. Freshman Brielle Rowe has had the Tigers' best mark in the shot this season and vie for a scoring spot as well.
Looking for a four-year sweep of the pole vault is senior Tory Worthen. Worthen enters the meet once again with the top mark in the league at 4.00. She is the Ivy League record holder, clearing 4.12 earlier in her career. Senior Lauren Tauscher has scored points in the event in the past. She has the sixth-best height in the league at 3.70, and was the runner-up during the outdoor season.
Junior Imani Oliver has been a scorer in three triple jumps. She was the runner-up during the outdoor season and has two other fourth-place finishes. Oliver has the third-best mark in the league at 12.21 but has reached 12.49 in her career.
Three Tigers have top-10 marks in the high jump, led by freshman Taylor Morgan. She has a mark of 1.75 in the high jump to rank third. Junior Theresa Kennedy and freshman Inka Busack have both cleared 1.73 in their respective careers.
In addition to her strengths in the sprints, Guty can score in the jumps as well. She was fourth at outdoor Heps last spring and has the fifth-best mark in the league at 5.71. Guty has reached 5.82 in her career. Other scorers include junior Lily Miller and Ronde.
Junior Samantha Anderson, Kennedy and McKenna have each competed in pentathlons this season. Kennedy has the best score, at 3289. McKenna has scored 3254 points and Anderson 2978.

New Year and New Changes
Tuesday, January 01, 2013
I have been on and off spark since I stumbled upon it in 2008. I have had several accounts, but I have kept this one since I created it in 2010. I have problems with motivation so I tend to start off strong, but eventually fizzle out and poof.
I decided that I was going to wait until after the holidays to try to lose weight. So here I am, again. I keep trying so I'm hoping that one day I will stay motivated and keep at it.
I think that the only time I post a blog it's to say that here I am again.
Over the several months I've noticed that my weight is slowly creeping upwards and that I am having heartburn more frequently. I know a majority of my triggers and try to aoid them. Lately though, it seems that I am finding new triggers. New foods that are setting my heartburn off that never had before. I am pretty sure that it is due to the slow weight gain.
In all honesty I was planning on starting this coming Monday. I was going to start fresh, and not feel like I had the 'New Year's Resolution' lable on. I had already discussed it with hubby over dinner the past Friday night.
This morning while my muffins were cooking, I decided to go ahead and reset my goals. I also thought I would go ahead and start tracking my food, even tough I knew most of what was already planned would be over the daily goals. 'Why not go ahead and get used to doing it?' I thought. So I did. This will help when I plan our meals & grocery list for next week.
I think my 2 biggest challenges are motivation and exercise.
I am going to try to find ways to stay motivated and I know I can always visit the Spark for motivation help as well.
Exercise on the other hand is a little more difficult. The only time I can do a DVD would be on the off days that I'm the only one home. We can't afford to join a gym even though we both (hubby & I) would like to. I tried in the past to get up earlier in the mornings to do a DVD, but when I normally get up at 5am it is extremely difficult to get up at 4:30 am. It really threw a disturbance in my sleep schedule so I had to stop.
This time I am going to try to start off with something simple. Taking family walks around the neighborhood. I would like to start tomorrow if the weather cooperates.

Sounds like you are off to a good start! Totally agree with doing a walk around the hood - my fitness was kicked up several notches when I started to ride my bikek to work instead of driving the car/ I found that I liked functional exercise - stuff that got me somewhere, had some kind of purpose. You might find that helps too -
good luck!

Working on Harmonic numbers, I found this very interesting recurrence relation : $$ H_n = \frac{n+1}{n-1} \sum_{k=1}^{n-1}\left(\frac{2}{k+1}-\frac{1}{1+n-k}\right)H_k ,\quad \forall\ n\in\mathbb{N},n>1$$ My proof of this is quite long and complicated, so I was wondering if someone knows an elegant or concise one. Any idea would be appreciated.
Alternatively, if someone knows a reference that talks about this kind of relation, it would be of great interest for me.

Powered hedge trimmers take some of the elbow grease out of keeping shrubs in shape.
The best electric trimmers should be powerful and fast enough for nearly any homeowner. But you may need a gas model if your trimming is beyond the reach of an extension cord (usually 100 feet for the longest).
Using them can still be hard work, since you're holding these machines aloft for extended periods. That makes a trimmer's weight, balance, and vibration as important as its performance. Safety is also important given the number of injuries that occur each year. Fortunately, you'll find several models that blend comfort, capable cutting, and features that help protect you while you work.
Black & Decker and Craftsman (Sears) dominate the corded and cordless-electric market; Craftsman also sells gas-powered models. Other brands include Echo, Homelite, Husqvarna, Little Wonder, Remington, Ryobi, Stihl, and Weed Eater.
Plug-in trimmers account for the most sales, since they're relatively light, quiet, and inexpensive, start with push-button ease, produce no exhaust emissions, and require little maintenance. The best also perform comparably to gasoline-powered models. But you'll have to work within range of a power outlet and be sure not to cut the cord. Price: $30 to $100.
Battery-powered trimmers combine the mobility of gas models with the convenience, clean running, and easy maintenance of plug-ins, courtesy of an onboard battery (14.4 volt to 24 volt). But they offer relatively little power and no more than about 45 minutes' run time per charge. They can also cost as much as gas-powered models. Price: $70 to $120.
Landscapers favor these for their power and mobility. But gas models typically weigh more than electrics, and their two-stroke engines require fuel mixing, pull-starting, maintenance. Gas trimmers can also be expensive. Price: $130 to $450.
Any powered hedge trimmer should handle light-duty trimming. The most powerful can cut branches roughly ? inches in diameter, while dense 1/4-inch-thick branches were enough to stop battery-powered trimmers we tested.
Corded electrics are relatively quiet and inexpensive. They deliver the best combination of cutting power, maneuverability, and ease provided you're within range of a power outlet. Cordless trimmers add convenience, but little cutting power and limited run time make them best for touch-ups and other light-duty work. In either case, look for an Underwriters Laboratories (UL) seal, which means that the trimmers have crucial safety features. Gas-powered models are for heavier-duty trimming beyond the range of a cord.
Most trimmers are for hedges up to about 5 feet high and 5 feet across. Extended-reach trimmers let you cut the top of tall hedges while keeping your feet on the ground. Typically, a tilting blade makes trimming the top easier. But among extended trimmers, only the gas Little Wonder was up to serious work. The extended electrics were also heavy and poorly balanced.
Having two moving blades doesn't guarantee better performance. But it helps a competent hedge trimmer cut more quickly by putting two blades to work instead of just one. Hedge trimmers with dual-reciprocating blades also tend to vibrate less than models with single-action blades.
Sample not only a trimmer's weight but how well it's distributed; too much up front or in back makes it harder to switch from vertical to horizontal trimming. Nearly all trimmers have a lockout to prevent accidentally activating the blades.
Wear protective work gloves, goggles, nonskid shoes, and—with gas models—hearing protection. Trim on firm footing or on a steady ladder, and don't try to work beyond your reach. With electric trimmers, use a GFCI outlet or extension cord that trails away from the blades so you don't slice it. (Tuck a loop of the cord under your belt toward your back.)

SEATTLE - Now that's more like it.
C.J. Wilcox was slashing and swishing for 27 more points, one of his career high set Saturday. Abdul Gaddy responded from a subpar day to score 16 points, include a momentum-seizing 3-pointer that tied the game at halftime.
Gaddy smartly fed Aziz N'Diaye inside for 12 of the 7-footer's 14 points in the second half. And the Huskies looked far more like they've wanted to look all year at home while beating rugged Saint Louis 66-61 late Wednesday night at revived Alaska Airlines Arena.
Wilcox made 11 of 13 shots as energized Washington (3-3) made 14 of 22 shots after halftime to rally from six down. It had entered having lost two consecutive non-conference home games for the first time since December 2000.
After the Huskies were out-rebounded 45-21 in Saturday's 73-55 loss to Colorado State they owned a 32-30 edge Wednesday night.
Washington made 10 of its first 16 shots after halftime while focusing more on getting the ball to N'Diaye more in the low post. He responded by scoring 10 of his 12 points in the first dozen minutes after halftime, putting UW ahead 54-48.
After a Billikens turnover, Wilcox made his fourth 3-pointer in five tries to put the Huskies up 57-48. The Huskies' defense forced a Saint Louis shot-clock violation on the ensuing possession. Then redshirt freshman Andrew Andrews, making his first career start, fed N'Diaye inside for a thunderous, two-handed dunk.
The Huskies sprinted off the floor pumping their fists to their roaring crowd during the Billikens' subsequent time out. UW looked like the energized, free-flowing team its wanted to be all season for the first time at home all month, and the Dawgs never relinquished the big lead.
Saint Louis (3-3), which lost by 14 last week to Kansas, went 3 minutes without scoring late to keep Washington ahead by at least a half dozen until the final minute.
Saint Louis closed within 65-61 with 26.7 seconds left after Jernard Jarreau of UW missed the front end of a one-and-one free-throw situation and Rob Loe of SLU scored inside. Andrew Andrews made one of two free throws for the Huskies, and Desmond Simmons made a great hustle play to track down the miss for a key offensive rebound.
The Huskies dribbled out the final 20 seconds after Simmons' rebound to end a rare, two-game losing streak at college basketball's winningest home count (923 wins and counting).
The Billikens have been without All-Atlantic-10 scoring guard Kwamain Mitchell so far this season. Mitchell had 18 points, four steals, three assists and no turnovers last November when Saint Louis beat visiting UW 77-64 in a game that wasn't that close.
The Billikens led by six with 7 minutes left in the first half - then did not score for more than 3 minutes. The Huskies didn't exactly seize on that opportunity, missing all three of their shots from the field and going 2 for 4 from the line in that stretch to stay down 23-20.
Even Lorenzo Romar's first technical foul of the season in the opening half, for arguing a over-and-back violation that officials did not call on Saint Louis, didn't get the Huskies fired up. They seemed to lack zest throughout much of the first 20 minutes.
But Gaddy gave UW its first jolt with a 3-point swish from the top of the deep arc just before the halftime buzzer that tied the game at 29. The senior co-captain sprinted from the floor through the team tunnel to lead the buoyed Dawgs into their locker room.
UW next hosts Cal State Fullerton Sunday at 4 p.m.

Update 8/15/14 4:45 p.m. (PST): Rescue pending!
Time is quickly running out for a puppy, described as "amazing" by a shelter volunteer, who is impounded at the Chicago Animal Care and Control facility in Ill.
On Wednesday evening, the following email was sent to the National Dog News Examiner about the puppy:
I think he is deaf. He was amazing out of cage. Shepherd like fur. Sooooo soft. Kinda knew "sit" when I used hand signals. He is a great dog. Very gentle.
Two days ago, an article was written on behalf of this puppy, whose name is unknown. Despite hundreds of "shares" on his article, he remains unclaimed and in danger. At the time of the original story's publication, a shelter volunteer had advised that the pup is considered to be "very urgent - beyond urgent!"
The puppy's intake notes indicate that he was a stray who was picked up on W. Madison in Chicago, Ill., and the animal control officer noted the word "nice." The pup, known only by his identification number A114600, needs to be secured by an approved Homeward Bound rescue partner; judging by the emailed received from the shelter volunteer, he needs to be secured soon.
This puppy is "rescue only" read more about the facility's designation for rescue only at this link. Rescue agencies struggle to find room for all of the dogs who need to be saved from animal control facilities - read more about how you can help in this article about fostering.

"The Hunger Games: Mockingjay" movie has had its first poster arrive this week to much fanfare from readers and filmgoers everywhere. Although the official title of the upcoming film — which will stand as the third installment in the franchise, as "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1" — might be a bit laborious, our initial glimpse of this blazing cover image is anything but tedious. Entertainment Weekly provides details on the very cool poster this Friday, Jan. 24, 2014, and what news on the adaptation has been released so far.
As many fans of the "The Hunger Games" series will know, "Mockingjay" takes flight as the third book in the incredible trilogy. However, producers decided to make the third and final movie into two separate films (essentially splitting it into two flicks, much like "Harry Potter" and "Twilight: Breaking Dawn" has done before it). Although this method is often used to maximize profits and viewership, it also does allow fans to fully experience all that "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1" has to offer.
This week, we Panem lovers are able to stand in awe of the shining new poster that Lionsgate Entertainment has recently made public. Sporting a direct mockingjay image with wings of fire spread, the image certainly seems to point to our protagonist Katniss Everdeen preparing to stand against the Capitol (even if she is rather coerced into it, initially). The poster itself may remind many fans of the "Catching Fire" original motion picture poster, while even "The Hunger Games" movie had a blazing mockingjay pin to promote the first film adaptation.
Nonetheless, the image reveals how we have in fact come full circle, from Katniss Everdeen beginning as a girl from District 12 to a national icon for freedom and hope now. With the third installment having a release date in Nov. 2014, "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 1" can't come soon enough for many fellow fans.
And, as always, may the odds be ever in your favor.
