We immediately contacted Hotelsclick and told them that it was a fraudulent charge and they have been refusing to credit us back the amount eventhough my bank and myself have emailed and called them several times. no one ever picks up their phone line so all you can do is leave a message. First they told me that the hotel the people were staying at was in Rome and then today, June 6, 2008 told me it was in China and are still refusing to credit us back the $699.89 because they say they had the hotel verify the occupants identification. We also emailed the hotel in China asking them to please re-verify this reservation that was made through Hotelsclick but we have yet to hear back from them.

Dear Stamos,
My brother is being married for the first time at the age of 69. His fiancee is 69, and this is also her first marriage.
They have been dating each other since the early '80's and maintained separate residences until seven years ago. when they moved in together. What kind of gift do I get them for their wedding?
Dear Hitchin',
My completely juvinile nature makes it utterly impossible for me not to snicker about the fact that they're both 69. You want a suggestion, hey, how about this? Snorkels.
Mmff mmm mmmnnmnnn mfff,

We ordered this item based on the photo and description. But, it's not what we got! We got a storage drawer that is stacked 3 levels high. And coffee maker doesn't fit on the top. And, even if it did, it would be way too high to put on the counter because it won't fit under the cabinets above it. If you like the photo - don't order this item. Sorry!

Touting Asian education for Australian students
There are 175-thousand students from APEC countries studying in Australia, but very few by comparison travel from Australia to study in Asia. Prime Minister Julia Gillard wants Australians to spend more time studying in Asia, instead of aspiring to study in the traditional strongholds of Cambridge and Harvard.

Pointing lab puppies were born January 25, and we have one yellow male available. This litter is between APR-CPR Prairie Pts Hunt Em Big Wrigs of Sauk River and CPR SCK Corky's Bearpoint Rose. Wrigs is a big 75-pound black male, who is out of GMPS Duke's True Grit and CPR Sauk River's Sudden Impact. Wrigs owner Dan has this to say about him: "Wrigs is turning into one of those once in a lifetime dogs. When out in the field with Wrigley he is extremely focused and has high desire to please. He is force fetched, collar conditioned, and whistle trained. He can currently run 100-150 yard single, double & triple marks on the land and consistently steps on the marks. He can also do 100-150 yard blind retrieves consistently in all types of terrain. He has a huge water entry which was exhibited at a very young age and it has only gotten bigger the older he has gotten. In the water he can currently do about the same as on the land, he consistently does 100-150 yard single, double, and triple marks with no problem. He also does blind water retrieves extremely well. He saved me many miles of trekking through the marsh this fall on some wounded ducks that we probably would have never gotten without him." Rosie is outstanding in the field, with limitless energy. She is one of the dogs we pull from the kennel when we have hunt club clients or are guiding for customers in South Dakota. She is also a great ambassador for the breed known as being one of the best family dogs available. Rosie is out of 4xGMPR HRCH Bearpoints Rosco MH x CPR Hunters Rose Tigs Irish Cream. Pup is $800.

Bad ideas can't hide in print and good ideas deserve to shine. That's why de Persgroep proudly presented the third edition of the Creative Press Challenge in 2015. A competition challenging the advertising industry to go back to the core. The winning idea will be promoted in de Volkskrant and sent off to Cannes.
Last year more than 70 teams literally fought together. With every punch on an interactive punch ball, the creatives fought against cancer in order to unlock their briefing. In this brief they were told to make their best print ad of the year for Fight cancer. Watch the casemovie and be inspired! Curious about last year's entries? Check out the Creative Press Challenge Gallery.
After studying Law in Amsterdam and New York, Limore (37) started her career at ING Group in 2003. After working in several sales and marketing positions, she became responsible for a project called 'ING Chances for Children'. In 2010 she left for New York again, where she worked for UNICEF and continued to do so after returning to the Netherlands. Limore started as Director of Fight cancer in July 2013 and she believes in making the impossible possible.
"Together we can creatively challenge people to bring this important cause to the attention of others.'
Besides being creative director at Ogilvy & Mather he is also a musical talent. These two worlds often come together in his work, which has won 160 awards, both nationally and internationally, of which 12 are Cannes Lions including a Grand Prix. He believes that brands should really stand for something and move people. The days that brands can force themselves on people are over. We have to create fans. It's just like music: if it moves you, you will sing along or cry a tear.
"Print is the hardest but also still one of the most beautiful media. Insight and form come together in so purely on a single page."
Carlo is responsible for all creative at 72andSunny Amsterdam. Previously he was at Wieden+Kennedy in Amsterdam for almost nine years as a writer for Nike, Coca-Cola, Heineken and as a Creative Director for EA Sports and Turkcell. He joined 72andSunny Los Angeles in 2010 as a Creative Director on Sonos and Pirelli. In September 2011, he returned to the Netherlands to oversee brands such as Benetton, Samsung, Google, Diageo and Axe. He's a former rugby player, a fanzine editor, sci-fi shorts director and a conspiracy theories believer.
"To those who say that print is dead, I say that nothing still beats (good) print in terms of delivering a message clearly and concisely."
Corinne grew up on the coast of Brittany and moved to Amsterdam when she was 21. She has worked for many (inter)national clients at, amongst others, KESSELSKRAMER, DDB & TRIBAL, INDIE, DAWN and FHV/BBDO. Her list of awards is seriously impressive (even though she actually didn't want us to mention this). Her international perspective on life adds an edge to her thinking and she especially cherishes ideas with societal impact. While she likes to use her strategic skills to create new chances, she believes that using your heart is really what makes a difference.
"Get involved. Make your words counts. And help cancer become yesterday's news."
Philippe studied Russian and started his journalistic career in 1991 as a Moscow correspondent. He later worked as a correspondent Berlin, political reporter in The Hague and as the Washington correspondent for de Volkskrant. He wrote books on Berlin and Barack Obama and was awarded De Tegel, the highest Dutch journalism award, for his coverage of the first Obama election. In 2010 he moved back to Amsterdam to become editor-in-chief of De Volkskrant.
"Good advertising makes the newspaper interesting and lively for readers. When you take your time to indulge in a newspaper, you open your mind to the world and also to advertiser's stories that are powerfully told."
In 2014 120 creatives joined the Creative Press Challenge. Some of the agencies that competed were Achtung!, Alfred, DDB & Tribal, JWT Amsterdam, KesselsKramer, Woedend! and Sid Lee. The over 100 creatives literally ran for their lives and with every drop of sweat received precious insights into the life of a refugee. We created a unique insights installation combining a tread mill and an Oculus Rift to give participants an experience to never forget.
Leon Ragetlie and Gabriela Nouws from J. Walter Thompson Amsterdam are the winners of the Creative Press Challenge 2015! The jury chose this entry because of its smart, rebellious character, which fits with the brand identity of Fight cancer, and because it suits the medium newspaper very well. Their ad was placed in de Volkskrant Friday December 11th, with an exclusive interview. Check their ad here and the pictures of the winners event here.
Also a big shout out to runners up Mirjam Lanting and Lennart van Zanten from IN10. It was a close call between the winner and this team! They did such a good job in producing their ad. Beautiful photography and awesome body copy. Frenkel Schönfeld and Jan-Willem de Man from 72andSunny made the number 3 spot. The power of the simplicity of their idea was immense. Well done!
For the Creative Press Challenge 2015 an unique and spectacular installation was created. With every punch and every drop of sweat, bits and pieces of the brief were revealed. Fight to fight cancer. The installation was built by Thijs Biersteker, digital production company MediaMonks and AMP.Amsterdam/Amp.Studios. Check out the casemovie and be inspired.
More than 70 teams joined the Creative Press Challenge 2015. Some of the agencies that competed: Being There, DDB & Tribal, Etcetera, FHV BBDO, Iris Worldwide, Ogilvy, TBWA, Woedend! and True Ideas. Thanks to everyone for joining the competition last year and we can't wait to see which agencies join this year!
In 2015 creatives worked for Fight cancer, trying to distill this iconic charity's into a single page. They believe in fighting cancer from the perspective of loving life. Their goal is to create more awareness for cancer under young adults and to inspire them to take action by organizing fundraising activities. All funds raised are donated to cancer research in the Netherlands. A modern and rebellious charity that every jury in Cannes will recognize. Click here for more info.
Good ideas only deserve the best. That's why the Creative Press Challenge is an invitation only competition. Click here to see which agencies were on our Agency Shortlist 2015. Creative directors of these agencies were asked to select their most talented creatives under the age of 30 to join. In September we will publish this year's shortlist. If you're not on the list then, too bad for you. You can always try to win one of our wildcards. These are awarded to young creatives under 30, working for an agency, who convince us that they deserve a spot in the competition.
Our wildcard winners went far. Very far. Overwhelmed by the many wild card requests, we selected 5 winners from the following agencies: FCB Amsterdam, TBWA/NEBOKO, Eigen Fabrikaat, NOISE and Pool Worldwide. And we want to share a few of these with you. So you know what you're up against next time. Check out what Anne and Siebe from Eigen Fabrikaat did here and the NOISE Young Talent Team here. Wildcard winners have been notified.
The winning entry will be produced and promoted in de Volkskrant. Besides that, de Persgroep will enter it into the Cannes Lions Festival, where more success awaits. The brains behind the work will also get an exclusive interview in de Volkskrant, which is easily torn out to show to your friends and make your mom proud.
Participation is by invitation only. The Agency Shortlist 2016 will be published mid September. If you're not on the list, too bad for you. You can try to win one of our wildcards. These are awarded to young creatives under 30, working for an agency, who convince us that they deserve a spot in the competition.
Login with your unique participation code, hit the 'submit' button and upload your pdf (max. 4 MB). Your work must be uploaded as a black marker sketch.
Your work will be judged on concept - is the idea clear, original and inspiring, does it fit the identity of the charity and will it appeal to readers of de Volkskrant and worldwide, and execution: is it solid and does it have stopping power.
In 2015 the three best entries were produced in collaboration with de Persgroep. We had reserved a small budget for this and discussed details with the top 3 teams. The jury eventually chose the winning ad from this top 3.
The winning work will be placed in de Volkskrant as a full page in December. A good time for charities to do business (New Year's resolutions and stuff).
The winner gets an exclusive full page interview in de Volkskrant in December. We will discuss details with the winners.
We will send the winning work to Cannes Lions. We will take care of the costs for submitting the work.
The Creative Press Challenge is an annual competition. We will publish this year's Agency Shortlist mid September. If you're not on the list, too bad for you. You can try to win one of our wildcards.

Glen Allen Walken for President!Posted Tuesday, February 15, 2011, at 9:56 AM
Probably best known as Dan Conner on "Roseanne," veteran actor John Goodman has been in more than 50 movies and awarded a Golden Globe and two American Comedy awards. His role of a lifetime, though, may well have been portrayal of Glen Allen Walken on TV's "West Wing."
According to the storyline Walken is Speaker of the House and the political enemy of sitting President Jed Bartlett. Bartlett's Vice-President had resigned in disgrace, making the Speaker constitutionally second in line for the Presidency.
Bartlett's daughter is kidnapped, and in the best interest of the country Bartlett turns over the office of President to Walken.
Walken, knowing the country can have only one President at a time, says "You are relieved Mr. President." Walken's character then proceeds to take command and make decisions about which Bartlett's staff is not sure.
As the story develops Bartlett's daughter is rescued. Then comes one of the great scenes of American television: Walken turns the power of President of the United States back to his political enemy, Jed Bartlett, as also provided for in the Constitution.
It was great television precisely because this is what we want to believe about America and about the people we elect to represent us in governments: When faced with a crisis of command, enemies -- politically and perhaps even personally -- will act with honor, putting the best interest of the nation above everything.
Something like this really did happen to real people in the real world.
On Aug. 8, 1974, having been told by his longtime political supporters that it would be impossible for him to remain in office, President Richard Nixon announced he would resign the Presidency effective at noon the next day. Vice-President Gerald Ford, who had not been elected to that office, would be sworn-in as President.
There was a story told at the time of a man living somewhere in the Midwest who bundled his 12-year-old son in the family car and took off that August night for Washington, D.C. to be there for the departure of Nixon and swearing-in of the new President.
That man wanted his son to see what was happening: What he did NOT see was just as important.
The Washington Mall did NOT fill with a million good people demanding the ouster of a bad man; nor of a million bad people demanding removal of a good man.
The United States Army was NOT called out, the National Guard NOT put on alert.
The military Chiefs of Staff did NOT meet to decide who would now be President, whether to fire the Cabinet, or if Congress would be adjourned.
What that man wished most to have his son see was this: What men of honor do when faced with a crisis threatening peace and the pursuit of happiness. And, why it is that God still blesses America.

What is the setting of Amy Tan's "Two Kinds"?
2 Answers | Add Yours
We are told in the beginning of the story that Jing Mei's mother is a Chinese immigrant who came to San Francisco in 1949. The reader can assume that the story takes place here, and Amy Tan throws in descriptions of different locales - The Mission District, an ethnically diverse neighborhood in San Francisco, and the fact that Jing - Mei live on Sacramento Street in Chinatown - to clarify this. Using references like the Ed Sullivan Show, the reader could also assume that it is most likely the mid 1960s.
Amy Tan's story "Two Kinds" is set in mid-century San Francisco. The family lives in Chinatown and the story relates the fact that they moved there in 1949.
The story moves from place to place in San Francisco, with some action taking place in the family's home and other action occurring at the piano instructor's home and at a talent show/recital.
The cultural setting is perhaps as important to the story as the physical setting. The narrator's mother is enamored with the idea that her daughter (the narrator) is a child prodigy who will bring pride to the family. Some of the mother's ideas are drawn from television (the Ed Sullivan show and other talent showcases) and from books like Ripley's Believe It or Not.
"The mother also reads countless 'stories about remarkable children' in the magazines she brings home from the houses she cleans" (eNotes).
These cultural influences help to shape the course of the story and serve as significant elements of the background. If not for the cultural thread promoting the notion of child prodigies, the narrator's mother may not have pushed her daughter to develop a talent.
This insistence from the mother is the animating tension of the story.

VFS will screen the 1971 classic family musical "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory," the magical original film adaptation of Roald Dahl's children's novel. The free screening outside under the stars next to the Vashon Theatre hopes to provide "a world of pure imagination" for all audience members. The outdoor movie show is the film society's annual gift to the community and supports the group's mission of "preserving the Vashon Theatre as THE place on Vashon to see films."Because this is the tenth anniversary of this end-of-summer tradition, VFS and the Vashon Theatre have dreamed up a whole slate of fun Willy Wonka-themed activities for all ages.
In addition to movies, the day of festivities will include a Golden Ticket candy bar contest, a "scrumdiddlyumptious" cake from Snapdragon Bakery, a beer garden for adults, and commemorative Violet Beauregarde bubble gum for kids. Stageworks is furnishing a giant high definition screen that will be set up all day in the Theatre's parking lot.
From 2-4 pm, especially for the preschool set, there will be free Peanuts cartoons screening on the huge outdoor screen.
Then from 5-7 pm, the teenagers get their turn with two hours dedicated to free video gaming on the Stageworks screen.
From 8 to 9 pm, local short films and live music will entertain outdoor movie fans who arrive early to set up their lawn chairs and picnic blankets for the screening at dusk in the Vashon Theatre parking lot.
"Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" will play at 9 pm, and the Vashon Theatre concession stand will sell popcorn and treats before and during the show
.And after the Gene Wilder family classic wraps up at 10:30, one final event will unspool for night owls: a special late night horror flick at 11 o'clock!
With ever-changing technology affecting how and where people see movies, this annual Vashon Film Society event focuses on the communal joy of experiencing films together at the island's historic movie house. The Vashon Film Society was formed more than twenty years ago to rally support and enthusiasm for the island's endangered cinema house. The decade-long tradition of an outdoor family movie in summer – plus the Art Film series, theTuesday night GreenTech community screenings, cinema showings of National Theatre Live and Bolshoi Ballet productions, and the Oscar Night scholarship benefit – have all highlighted the vital presence of our community's beloved movie theater in the heart of Vashon.
"We are so lucky to have a wonderful vintage movie theater in our community," said Vashon Film Society's Leslie McMichael. "There's no better place to see films on the island."

This installment follows Douglas as he creates a portrait for Kodak's On Film series, which features portraits of directors, cinematographers, and other major players in the film industry. Douglas has shot nearly 250 portraits for this series over the past 20 years.
The course begins with a discussion of the unique qualities of film—its clarity, definition, and tonal range—and of film's enduring importance in today's digital world. Next, Douglas tours the Mamiya RZ67 medium-format camera, demonstrating its components and comparing its format to 35mm film. He then demonstrates a variety of lighting, posing, and styling techniques while photographing Owen Roizman, an award-winning cinematographer, in the Kirkland studio in Los Angeles, California.
The course concludes with a critique of the resulting photographs. Douglas also shows how he resized and cropped the image to fit a print advertisement.
Skill Level Intermediate
Douglas Kirkland: Hi Owen! Owen Roizman: Hey Douglas! Douglas: Hey how are you? I am glad we can do this today. Owen: Oh yeah. Douglas: We have done once or twice before; Douglas: I've been in front of your lens I think a few times. So Owen, we are going to do a Polaroid. Turn away from me just a little, yeah. That's right, maybe a little more, yeah. That's cool. That's nice, nice, nice, nice, great! If you don't mind, try the opposite side, swing the other way. You know, by the way, it's interesting, I like this side of Owen, because you will see a different look on different people. Frequently, like I have with my part I think on my hair this way, and if I was on this side, it might not be as good as if I was on that side. But you don't have to tell your subject about that; just observe it. Say to yourself, "Which is the best side?" Don't get into a big conversation about it, because remember, your subject may be very nervous.
Nice, one, two, three, good. See how easy that was? Okay, this time I am timing 30 seconds, this time, so in a half a minute we'll see the result. And I feel pretty secure that this is going to work, so Miranda, could I have, yes, reset the diaphragm a little lower, and give me a roll please. Thank you Jeremy. And now, if Owen, or I, or anybody who is working with me doesn't like the Polaroid, we will make changes.
The Polaroid is square. It's not framed vertically, as I am doing here, because most of the work that I do on this campaign, in fact, I think almost all of it--oh, there we are--has been vertical. Okay, here we are. Okay, what I like is this is our blocking shot, so to speak, because I will allow you to move around a little and everything as we get moving and shooting. I like the separation we are getting from the back light, and it's gray over here, just from the distance it is for marquee. And yes, you are right to observe that reflection on your glasses.
I have been watching it very carefully, and how much fill light do we want? I want some, but I don't want it to be a one-to-one. I don't want you to be flat. But what I will do probably with my camera as we shoot is come in tighter, and you will be free to move around, but this basically shows you what our square one is. Owen: Great! Looks good to me Douglas. Douglas: Thank you. Am I hired? Can I keep my job? Owen: Yeah. Douglas: Thanks. Now what happens if you lean on a hand? No, I mean like so. Yeah, don't-- by the away, anything I ask you to do that does not feel comfortable, just let me know, because the object here is to make you feel comfortable. Okay, just, that's good, that's good, that's good.
There is frame one, now, okay great! And notice, I keep talking. I am not quiet. Oh, what you did, I just observed what you did there. Yeah, I love that. I love that. Yes, yes, yes. Now this is beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Yeah, I just saw a natural move, and it's a wonderful one. I love that. I am coming in tight, because I want to get it really tight. I am on the long end. I am at 200 on the zoom, and you will see me focusing out there. Okay. This is good! This is a hotbed. I feel good! Oh, I feel really good.
And Miranda, can you give me the 1x4 multiplier, please? I want to just go to a slightly longer lens. I am putting the 1x4 multiplier in, and I'll increase the exposure one stop with it. What does it do? It makes the 200-millimeter lens become a 280, Douglas: okay, and so one stop open. Miranda: So you're on eleven and half, Miranda: so I'm thinking you want eight and a half, Douglas: Yeah, thank you. You know, it's interesting how things evolve. And again, I am talking to you Owen, as well as my other friends out there, because--this is nice. This is nice.
This is what really excites me about photography. I am may be photographing the most beautiful woman in the world, or a friend like Owen, but at this moment when it's really clicking, I really truly get excited. See, you'll notice me tipping the camera. Nowhere is it written that everything has to be up and down, because especially on a portrait like this, it's where the excitement--just imagine if you were cropping a print or something. Well, I am doing that in the camera. This is very, very special. Okay.
Now ask yourself Mr. Photographer-- that's me at this moment-- I always do, everything is locked down and wonderful. Owen is great. Everything he is doing--if you stay there, I'd appreciate it, but I am watching everything he does. Oh, consider what else, what happens if you push your glasses up for a moment? Just push them up. Look, yeah, yeah or put them up. Just lift them up, just lift them, Yeah, yes, yes, one hand, that's nice. That's nice, that's nice, that's nice. Now we found another picture here. And so, ask yourself a number of questions as you're shooting at this point.
You say, is there something? Lift a little higher please, push them up a little. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, that's wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! I am going to go wider. Just stay there, Owen, if you can, and then I'll do a Polaroid. What I am doing is seeing the great picture, but I am also saying to myself at all times, is there something I should be looking for beyond this? And that's part of the key. I am happy again once we see the crop vertically, and I've got a closer version as well.
Douglas: I hope you like it--I do. Owen: Yeah! Douglas: and then we have a closer version when we come in really just on your face, because you have a great warmth in here which I love. Owen: It's very nice. Terrific, thank you. Douglas: So, thank you! Douglas: You know, we have done this two or three times before. I think today, strangely, and I mean this genuinely, we are going to have the best pictures ever. Owen: Thanks, well, we're finally learning. Douglas: Yeah, exactly, we keep practicing. Douglas: Here I am 20 years later, I should, because I think you were one of the first guys I photographed in this series, an early one, and then I photographed you Douglas: once or twice later, Owen: Yeah.
Douglas: with your son, Eric, is that his name? Yeah, it was great! Owen: Yeah, yeah. Douglas: Eric, his son, is a wonderful cinematographer as well. It runs in the family. Anyway, great! Okay, let's go out. Let's take a break and do another setup.

Arizonans to protest immigrant children being dropped off in Oracle
PHOENIX — Hundreds of protestors are planning to gather in Oracle, Ariz., with the intention of preventing busloads of Latin American children from being unloaded at the Sycamore Canyon Academy.
A statement from Sycamore Canyon, a boys boarding ranch, confirms the federal government has made arrangements to temporarily house the unaccompanied minors in the southern Arizona town.
"Sycamore Canyon Academy, at the urgent request of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), will provide safe and temporary care to a small number of the unaccompanied youth from Central and South America," the statement said. "These children will be temporarily placed at the campus by the ORR until they can be properly processed and placed with an appropriate sponsor or repatriated to their home country. Sycamore Canyon Academy is working closely with the federal refugee program and appreciates the support we have received for this humanitarian effort.
"Sycamore Canyon Academy is not taking a position on the immigration debate in any way. We believe it is for others to decide. Our mission is to improve the lives of youth, and we will continue to fulfill our mission by focusing on our work with children."
Some of Oracle locals are not happy with their town's facilities being used to house illegal immigrant children.
"We will turn the buses around. They will not get through us," said resident Ron Thompson. "We are not willing to accept this. It's an illegal act by the federal government — the Obama Administration to be specific. These are illegal people and they should be deported."
Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu has ordered a large police presence outside of the facility, and deputies have been given orders to not allow protestors to block traffic.
Many of those who plan to demonstrate say they will risk arrest to make sure the government doesn't succeed in dropping the children off in Oracle.

M2M Modules based on 2G technologies continued to dominate shipments in 2012 with over 70 percent market share. As a result, module revenues did not break the $1 billion mark as hoped and the average module price continued to decline.
"Cellular M2M module price competition was intense in 2012 driven by several factors," says practice director, Dan Shey. "Europe was not the traditional M2M module bellwether market and continued to decline in share of module shipments; some Chinese vendors competed aggressively in the higher volume 2G led market segments; and operators pushed hard for lower module pricing to grow total cellular connections." However, unlike the personal cellular modem and even the smartphone market, M2M module vendors can insulate themselves from pricing competition by targeting the right industry verticals and offering additional services.
Shey adds: "The average module price for the top vendors in the market ranged from $12 to $31. Vendors with higher average per module revenue are focused not just on application markets that seek 3G and 4G modules such as Fixed Wireless Terminals and OEM telematics. These vendors also target industry sectors where module quality and additional services such as product integration expertise and device management services are key value components and drive customer retention."
The "M2M Embedded Module" database provides cellular module shipment and revenue estimates for five world regions, and seven air interface technologies covering 2G, 3G, and 4G standards. Application segmentation is provided for 13 markets with new industry segmentation recently added. Country level data is offered for 10 countries.
These findings are part of ABI Research's M2M Services and Modules Research Service.

Trans-spanning ligand
Trans-spanning ligands are bidentate ligands that can span opposite sites of a complex with square-planar geometry. A wide variety of ligands that chelate in the cis fashion already exist, but very few can link opposite vertices on a coordination polyhedron. Early attempts to generate trans-spanning bidentate ligands relied on polymethylene chains to link the donor functionalities, but such ligands often lead to coordination polymers.
A diphosphane linked with pentamethylene was claimed to span across a square planar complex. This early attempt was followed by ligands with more rigid backbones. "TRANSPHOS" was the first trans-spanning diphosphane ligand that usually coordinates to palladium(II) and platinum(II) in a trans manner. TRANSPHOS features benzo[c]phenanthrene substituted by diphenylphosphinomethyl (Ph2PCH2) groups at the 1 and 11 positions.[1][2] The polycyclic framework suffers sterically clashing hydrogen centers.
Xantphos is a trans-spanning ligand, without the steric problems associated with TRANSPHOS. SPANphos is comparable to XANTPHOS but more reliably trans-spanning. TRANSDIP, based on a α-cyclodextrin, is the first ligand to give exclusively trans-spanned complexes, even with d8 metal ion halides.[3]

LANSING - A convenience store on the north side of Lansing was held up overnight. Lansing police tell News 10 that the Fox Island store near the corner of Waverly and N. Grand River Avenue was robbed. Two men wearing dark clothes and masks entered the store at around 9:30pm Thursday. One of the thieves showed the clerk a handgun and demanded money, while the other masked man watched the door. The clerk gave up the cash and the robbers quickly left on foot.
Police were called and used dogs to attempt to track the suspects, but they did not have any luck. Anyone with information is asked to call the Lansing Police. 483-4600.

Just before the American president is scheduled to appear in Sam Moore's hometown of East Goodland, Sam's retirement plans are delayed when his daughter, Beth, goes missing. Newly reunited with the spirit of his younger brother, Billy, who died 50 years ago, Sam is guided by an unusual talisman - a small green marble - that reveals a perplexing link between Beth and her mysterious roommate, Zafina Azziz.
Who is the real Zafina? Med student, loving friend, Egyptian royal - or a keeper of deadly secrets? Is she involved with a group of suspicious students from the Middle East? And what about that phantom boyfriend she keeps mentioning?
Does Zafina know where Beth is?
That's when Sam discovers that someone is plotting to murder the president of the United States - and that someone is hiding in East Goodland.
Can Sam, his daughter, and Billy's ghost avert a catastrophe that could rival September 11?

A good listen makes for an amazing day!
"Thrilling and Kept me glued...."
Absolutely. It has a suspenseful and catching story line which keeps the listener glued.
Without revealing too much, the book had many twists and turns which kept me interested.
I was provided this audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review via AudiobookBlast dot com
"Lots of twists and turns"
Not at all what unexpected, but there were enough surprises and plot twists to keep me interested and guessing to the end.
"Thrills and Suspense ..Excellent Book"
This is my first time listening to a suspense/thriller novel with supernatural elements and I found that the suspense and thrills with a twist of supernatural made this book enjoyable. I have never had an interest in supernatural books before but this novel has made me a listener. Also, that the author wrote the book in a way that makes you feel as if you are part of the story, not just listening to it.
There was no one memorable moment as I enjoyed the full story.
I found Robert King Ross's performance nothing less than perfection for this book and subject matter.
I did not have an extreme reaction. I love suspense and thriller novels and this is definitely one of my top 10 favorites.
"This audiobook was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review courtesy of AudiobookBoom dot com."
"A Wonderful Joy Ride"
I couldn't stop listening! Even though this is book #2 in the series its also a great stand alone. This is my first book in the series and I wasn't lost because I didn't listen/read book 1. I look forward to other books in this series. Great storyline overall, keeps you guessing which makes for a perfect mystery.
"This audiobook was given by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review via Audiobook Boom."
"Wow awesome story lots of suspense!"
Pretty impressive. I was a little turned off by the Harlequinnesque cover but it's nothing like a Fabio driven story!! Lot's of twists & plot is superb. Missing daughter & parents worse nightmare. Has a bit of supernatural element just enough to give people like me a little shiver. Unreliable help in the quest but not the pitfalls at every corner kind of book I hate. I love the imagery - wow. Just enough to make you feel like you can "see it" without being redundant & unnecessary! It's a great read you won't regret downloading it.......off to see what other awesome stories this author has!
given for free in exchange for unbiased review
"Suspense + "real" people = a good listen"
This book is a worthy successor to "Healey's Cave," which introduced Sam Moore.
In "Terror Comes Knocking," Sam's paranormal visions are sometimes enlightening, sometimes teasingly hard for Sam to figure out, as he gets embroiled in a terrorist plot. The suspense builds, to the point that it was keeping me awake, so I had to turn it off at bedtime!
As usual, Lazar weaves strong elements of family, relationships, and social issues into the story, too, which is one of the things that make me a fan of his books.
Robert King Ross did a super job reading this book. His voice is always clear, totally suited to the character of Sam, and his inflections conveyed the dialogue and narration perfectly.
Between the narration and the expert writing, I always felt like I was right inside Sam's head.
"Review of Terror Comes Knocking"
Great story. Kudos! I'm on to the next in the series. I know it will be as great as the first two in the Sam Moore series.
"Gardening loving retired Doctor foils terror plot."
It was a good contemporary setting of a terrorist plot in upstate NY. The technology details were generally good, although I thought a weakness was when Zafina searches her handbag looking for her address book to find a phone number. Since she has a cell phone, any normal person nowadays would just look through the recently called numbers.
To some extent, although it was pretty obvious where the plot was leading from fairly early on. It did have some nice twists.
I didn't particularly care for the narrator. His voice was too deep for this particular novel, especially for the female parts.
Retired doctor foils upstate NY terror plot, while tending his garden and his invalid wife.
While overall I liked the book, it felt like it was not quite sure what it wanted to be. Part YA novel, part action thriller, part romance novel with steamy sexual innuendos, part Martha Stewart telling us about gardening.
I am at that half a century mark in years. I enjoy audiobooks,cats,rats and most days my family,not necessarily in that order!lol
"Terror comes knocking"
This is a continuation of the Sam Moore Mysteries.It is fun catching up with what is going on with this family,well,maybe not fun,but it's always interesting!Narrated by Robert King Ross,we start out slowly,but he picks up speed.Sams daughter has dissapeared.Her roommate comes to see Sam and Rachel but there are more questions than answers and OH,the President is coming to town!How does this all fit together?Read it and find out!
I was gifted this book for an honest review.
"It's alright"
Note: In exchange for an unbiased review, the author, publisher, and/or narrator were kind enough to provide an audio version of this book at no charge via AudiobookBlast.
This was apparently the second book in a series, which I don't think I realized when I got the book. But that didn't really matter too much; it wasn't hard to follow because it was almost like a standalone book anyway.
Having said that ... this book was alright. Just alright. Nothing hugely spectacular. I don't know if it was the material or the narrator (who was OK, but just didn't have a performance that grabbed me with interest). The plot was decent enough, if somewhat predictable to a certain extent, but it just didn't keep me engaged in what was going on with the characters or the story. And there was one glaring mistake that I couldn't forget (but was irrelevant to the overall picture, so I'll go ahead and mention it here without a spoiler warning). A doctor operates on one of the characters, and he comes out to meet with the family member who's waiting and he's got blood all over his scrubs. The family member is rightly worried, thinking it's the blood of their loved on, but the doctor said it was blood from a trauma patient that came in right before he operated on the character in question. Now, I'm not a doctor, but I'm pretty sure it would not be acceptable for a surgeon to go from one patient (with their blood all over him) to another patient he's going to operate on without cleaning up and changing his scrubs.
Anyway, I don't have a whole lot more to add about it. Apparently, several people liked this novel a lot because it has much higher ratings than I would personally give it. But you'll have to check it out for yourself and see; you may come away with a totally different perspective.

Himmatwala first weekend collection at overseas Box Office
Himmatwala, which released on a grand scale in the international market, has done an average business at the Overseas Box Office in the first weekend. Although it did not have any big rival either from Bollywood or any other regional film industries, the Ajay Devgn and Tamanna starrer has failed to take off the way a biggie should. The negative feedback is the reason for its failure.
Himmatwala opened to an average response at the international collection centres. The film was expected to show a big jump, but its business dipped considerably on Saturday and Sunday. When compared to all other key markets, the movie has done good collection in UAE. It has collected Rs 1.77 crores ($3,25,509) at the UAE Box Office in its first weekend and some centres are yet to report about its collection.
Whereas the business of Himmatwala is quite average in other key international markets - UK, USA, Australia and New Zealand. The Ajay Devgn and Tamanna starrer has raked in Rs 98.51 lakhs (£1,19,518) from 82 screens in UK, Rs 1.07 crores ($1,97,770) from 99 screens in USA, Rs 35.09 lakhs (A$62,152) from 16 screens in Australia and Rs 16.15 lakhs (NZ$35,584) from 9 screens in New Zealand in its opening weekend.
However, Ajay Devgn's last release Son of Sardar, which clashed with Shahrukh Khan's Jab Tak Hain Jaan, had collected Rs 10.79 crores nett ($1.96 million) at the international collection centres in six-day-extended first weekend. Whereas Himmatwala, which did not have any competitor, has failed to collect even half of the former's collection. It has raked in a total of Rs 4.34 crores nett at the overseas Box Office in its opening weekend.

AbstractThe completion of the human genome project 10 years ago was met with great optimism for improving drug therapy through personalized medicine approaches, with the anticipation that an era of genotype-guided patient prescribing was imminent. To some extent this has come to pass and a number of key pharmacogenomics markers of inter-individual drug response, for both safety and efficacy, have been identified and subsequently been adopted in clinical practice as pre-treatment genetic tests. However, the universal application of genetics in treatment guidance is still a long way off. This review will highlight important pharmacogenomic discoveries which have been facilitated by the human genome project and other milestone projects such as the International HapMap and 1000 genomes, and by the continued development of genotyping and sequencing technologies, including rapid point of care pre-treatment genetic testing. However, there are still many challenges to implementation for the many other reported biomarkers which continue to languish within the discovery phase. As technology advances over the next 10 years, and the costs fall, the field will see larger genetic data sets, including affordable whole genome sequences, which will, it is hoped, improve patient outcomes through better diagnostic, prognostic and predictive biomarkers.

The reigning Commonwealth champion and world silver medallist swam a 4:34.98 minutes time to beat three-time Olympic champion and world record holder Stephanie Rice into second place.
Miley, who took her seventh successive 400m individual medley title at the trials in March, was delighted with her performance in defeating Rice.
"I'm really happy with how that went," she said, after advancing as the sixth fastest.
"It's the first time I've felt so relaxed in such a big competition.
"Who knows if I can medal? I've just got to swim the race of my life. I can only control what I can do. I can't control how fast other people are going to swim.
"It's good but I know maybe she (Rice) went a little bit slower – that means she's got more in the tank for tonight, who knows?"
Youngster Aimee Willmott went well in the following heat swimming a solid 4:38.87 time that wasn't quite good enough to join Miley in the final.
Team GB teammate Fran Halsall finished strongly to touch second in 58.23 seconds and secure her place in tonight's 100m butterfly semi-final and she was in awe of the special atmosphere inside the Olympic Aquatic Centre.
"All I could hear was the crowd going haywire," she said. "They tried to quieten them down and everyone was still shouting.
"It really made me smile and relax. It was the first swim so I was pretty nervous. It's nice to have that little bit of extra relaxation."
Ellen Gandy, fresh from setting a British record in the same pool at the trials in March, stole second with a great 58.25s swim in to join Halsall in tonight's semi-finals.
Roberto Pavoni and Joe Roebuck failed to make the men's 400m medley final, where Beijing posterboy Michael Phelps will showdown with arch-rival Ryan Lochte later today.
Roebuck, who will swim in two more individual events at the Games, admitted it was a disappointing performance.
"It wasn't quite the swim I was expecting or hoping for," said Roebuck. "The stamina wasn't quite there for the 400m."
David Carry, the oldest member of the team, swam a gutsy 400m freestyle to post 3:47.25 to grab a place in the final eight tonight but British record holder Robbie Renwick won't be joining him.
Craig Benson turned in an excellent performance in the 100m breaststroke to clock 1:00.04, qualifying for tonight's semi-finals alongside Michael Jamieson, who swam 59.89 secs.
Amy Smith, Jessica Lloyd, Caitlin McClatchey and Rebecca Turner finished equal fourth in their heat of the 4x100m freestyle relay.
Their time of 3:38.21 was just about good enough for the team, who qualified equal seventh with Sweden, despite resting Halsall in anticipation of a final berth.
