VALLETTA, Malta -- The current Libyan crisis is being felt by European countries around the Mediterranean as thousands of refugees flee the North African war.
The small island nation of Malta is struggling to deal with the wave of people seeking asylum.
"I passed four days and four nights in the sea. And some of my friends were dying there," Muhammad Hussein told CBN News.
Hussein left his wife and five children in Somalia and went out in search of a better life for himself and his family. The journey wound through Uganda, Sudan, and across the Sahara Desert before reaching the shores of Libya.
"Sometimes if I remember the journey that I did before, it is very dangerous. I saw a lot of people who died in the Sahara. I saw myself," he recalled.
Then came the long boat ride to Malta and he hoped, freedom.
Malta has a long tradition of hosting refugees. One of the most well known is the Apostle Paul, who was shipwrecked off the coast in 60 A.D.
What's changed between then and now is that Malta has become one of the most populous countries in Europe. That means there are precious few resources to go around.
"You can never leave anybody homeless and even though we don't have the resources to put up a lot of people in their own independent accommodations," Father Joseph Cassar said.
Cassar leads the Jesuit Refugee Service in Malta. He says the current flock of refugees is just a drop in the bucket compared to those who are already in the system.
"Between 2002 and 2009, some 30,000 asylum seekers reached Malta on small boats, and for the most part departing the coast of Libya," he explained.
"Once they arrive on the island, asylum seekers are put in detention. And for the length of time it takes for their asylum procedure to be concluded, positively or otherwise, they will stay there," he added.
If asylum is granted, they are allowed to leave detention, but the challenges of their new lives are just beginning.
Hussein lives in a tent city and is free to go out looking for work. But this wasn't what he had in mind when he left Somalia.
"Clearly, the life here is very hard. In this tent I live with more than 20 persons. At least four or five of those people have tuberculosis," he said.
"Even though once they are released with protection, and therefore being given international protection in Malta, they would be allowed to seek work," Cassar explained.
"But resources being what they are, they very often end up with no possibility to work and therefore have no ability to lead an independent life without having to rely on benefits," he continued.
The U.S. has agreed to give refuge to at least 500 asylum seekers in the coming months, though for Malta, the numbers expected to make landfall could easily be many times that.
But Christians on Malta like Cassar are committed to continue helping as many as they can

Harvest Crudite with Yellow Split Pea Dip
What to do with a random smattering of peppers, pole beans, cucumber, and cherry tomatoes to harvest on any given day? Well, one of the easiest things you can do is to put them out, fresh, as a fresh salad or crudite platter. After doing this a couple times this late summer, it occurred to me that they would do better with a thick, tangy dip on the side than a thin coat of dressing, so people could snack on them on their own time.
The first dip that came to mind was hummus. But garbanzo beans take so long to soak and cook when you start off with them dry. So I took a gamble on a package of dried yellow split peas, and cooked them just until tender in about fifteen minutes. To this, I added the classic hummus accoutrements — crushed garlic, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil and a sprinkle of cayenne pepper. It looked a little more yellow than hummus tends to, but it tasted pretty much the same.
As a last-minute flourish, I plucked some of the white blossoms off the tall shoots of chives that had begun to bloom this early fall. These are tasty, and attractive garnishes, and they're also great to use as a seasoning, too. So I picked apart some of the chive blossoms and dropped them into the hummus in its final stirs. Another plucked chive blossoms was placed on the crudite platter for garnish.
When staffers dunked their fresh veggies into the stuff at the brewery the next day, nobody questioned what was in the "hummus." And the vegetables were all eaten up.
Yellow Split Pea "Hummus" with Chive Blossoms
(makes about 1 pint)
3/4 cup dry yellow split peas
1 large clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons tahini (ground sesame paste)
juice of 1 lemon
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
salt and black pepper to taste
Cover the split peas with about 1 inch of water and bring just to a boil. Reduce and simmer on low heat covered for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until water has all been absorbed and peas are tender. Let cool uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
Transfer the split peas, tahini, lemon juice, salt, pepper, cayenne pepper and garlic to a food processor and pulse several times, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Drizzle in the extra-virgin olive oil and blend until smooth. Add the chive blossoms and stir once more. Taste for seasoning, adding any more seasonings as desired.

The Street Of Crafts: Tryavna's Tourist Traps
As I mention in my introduction, I was pleasantly surprised to find the town as a whole very down to earth. Even this street, which is obviously aimed at divesting the visitors of their Leva, has a pleasantly laid-back feel to it (certainly in the middle of winter anyway). There is some mass-produced junk available but most of what caught my eye was proper hand-made stuff and quite appealing. I did note that the good stuff doesn't have price tags and my Bulgarian is definitely not up to the task of haggling but window-shopping is free!
What to buy: Pottery, Jewelry, Woodcarvings, Paintings, Icons, Hand-woven Clothing - all sorts!

It amused to note that the couple of public conveniences that I passed had sort of "arty" connections. The first one, heading into the "Street of Crafts", is signposted the "Galery WC" - it looks more like a proverbial "brick shiithouse" to me but was closed when I visited and so maybe there is more to it than meets the eye.The second one, at the...more

South Tahoe's winningest freshman boys team in at least 20 years wanted to end its season with one last win, playing at home against Fallon in a long-awaited rematch Saturday.
The Vikings got their win, but not without a scare. Fallon cut down the Vikings' 10-point, second-quarter lead and took a small lead of its own. The suddenly-close contest brought to mind the Vikings' earlier loss at Fallon.
In that match up, Fallon erased a double-digit South Tahoe lead and hit an unlikely 3-pointer for the win as time ran out. The early loss was one of just three for South Tahoe this season.
Speaking to his players during a timeout in Saturday's game, South Tahoe coach Rick Chandler told them there was nothing he could say or do to get them back in the game.
"It's up to you guys now. It's your season," he said.
Caught on their heels during Fallon's rally, the Vikings pulled together and quickly turned things around. There would be no loss to Fallon this time around.
A 3-pointer by Noah Jackson put South Tahoe up 27-25 at halftime. Jackson finished with a game-high 27 points, including four more 3-pointers in the second half that helped the Vikings outpace the Greenwave.
Garret Harley scored 17 points for South Tahoe and Zen Contestable scored nine. In all, seven Vikings contributed baskets in the 66-53 win.
South Tahoe finished its season 19-3 overall, 13-3 in league. Those are the school's best freshman records in at least 20 years, according to school stats.
"It's a good ending, to get (Fallon) back after the buzzer-beater at their house," player Tyler Ritter said after the game.
Chandler said the win over rival Fallon shows just how far the young team has come this season.
In the locker room, players lamented the end of their successful season, celebrated some newfound friendships and their growth as a team and looked forward to their promising future on the hardwood.
"We started the year with everyone being selfish and ended the year with no one being selfish," player Dylan Gooding said.
Many of the team's players have played together since third grade. One early challenge was getting them to put aside their personal rivalries and competitive jealousies and to play as a team. It didn't take long, Chandler said.
One day before practice, Chandler showed up early and read his players the band of brothers speech from Shakespeare's Henry V. "For he today that sheds his blood with me shall be my brother," was one line that stuck out.
"That was our theme all year," Chandler said. "I think they showed it all year and they showed it most of all tonight. The other team came back and got a lead on us. We didn't quit, we didn't go back into our old bad habits. We stayed with the program, we passed the basketball and we shared it. Everyone on the bench was involved. They fixed it. They did it."
The team wasn't successful this year because it was the biggest or strongest. It was successful because it played together with lots of heart, Chandler said.
"We're always the smallest team. They don't care. They just go out and battle," Chandler said.
"They're all together in this. They're all brothers. Regardless of the record, that's the thing I'm most impressed with. If they grow up together, I don't see how anyone's going to stop them."

Kentucky is about to ratchet up the recruiting arms race in college basketball, spending $2.9 million to upgrade the team's locker room and training facility at Rupp Arena.
The city of Lexington, which owns the downtown arena, is planning a $300 million renovation of the arena to could begin as early as 2014. That timeline wasn't good enough for UK coach John Calipari.
So Calipari raised $2.5 million through private donors to get the locker room and training facility portion of the project completed this summer and fall, and Calipari already has hired architect Steve Sherman to create preliminary designs. The city has committed $400,000 toward the project.
The new project will include expanded locker rooms and showers plus an upgraded and expanded training room and add a players' lounge, theater-style meeting room and kitchen/dining room.
Construction will begin soon after UK's commencement on May 6 and be completed by the beginning of the basketball season.
— See a blueprint of the locker room upgrade
That UK would spend millions on every-day locker rooms isn't surprising. To spend such money on locker rooms and other facilities the team would use only on home game days and recruiting trips comes as a bit of a shock. The rest of the year, the team practices at the state-of-the-art $30 million Joe Craft Center on campus, across the street from the team's dorm.
A UK spokesman told the Lexington Herald-Leader that Calipari plans to publicly name the donors on the project. Calipari had to funnel the money through the Blue Grass Community Foundation charity because the Lexington Center Corp., which manages Rupp Arena, is a non-profit and not a charity. By funneling the money through Blue Grass Community, supporters can write off their donations on their taxes.
Should the money have been donated straight to the university, it would've required legislative approval by the state, which undoubtedly would've delayed the project.
"There was some fear that if it (the money) went directly to the university, it would have to go down to the legislature for those hearings and approval, and it might not get out in time," Cecil Dunn, chairman of the Lexington Center board, told the Herald-Leader.

An economic recovery project led by Gordon Reeves of the PNW Research Station
builds upon existing efforts to develop a decision support tool that forest
planners can use to assess the potential effects of climate change on fish
habitat in the Northwest. Under a joint venture agreement, the Department of
Fish and Wildlife in Oregon State University's (OSU) College of Agricultural
Sciences used economic recovery funds provided by the PNW Research Station
to hire two full-time researchers and employ a faculty member part-time. This
project will bring the results of global climate models down to the scale of
river basins, and will help land and fisheries managers better understand which
basins and salmon stocks are most at risk from climate change effects over
the next several decades.
The potential effects of climate change on water and
aquatic ecosystems are of major concern to federal land managers in the Pacific
Northwest and elsewhere,
and there is a significant need to develop tools, policies, and practices
to address these effects. Initial climate change projections were of a coarse
nature, often covering large geographic areas and failing to resolve features
such as smaller mountain ranges that influence the expression of climate
on small scales. Without these refinements, features such as east-west temperature
and precipitation gradients in the Pacific Northwest cannot be appropriately
simulated, and attempts to use raw data from coarser models will produce
highly erroneous results when considered at finer scales.
The objective of this study
is to develop tools to understand the potential impacts of climate change
on water and selected native fish and their habitat
at the scale of a national forest. The initial phase of the study is focusing
on pilot projects on the Wenatchee-Okanogan and Umatilla National Forests.
These forests represent a range of geologies and climates and thus will respond
differently to climate change. In support of this work, the University of
Climate Impacts Group (CIG) will develop and provide detailed reports summarizing
downscaled historic hydroclimatic data and simulations along with future hydrologic
change scenarios for these areas. These models will be incorporated into an
integrated system (NetMap) along with digital map layers and data bases that
will enhance their utility for natural resource managers.
Significant progress
has been made on two models for the John Day and Wenatchee River basins,
one that predicts water temperatures, and one that identifies
probable locations of spawning habitats. In addition, a Bayesian Belief Model
(a decision support tool) of the effects of wildfire on Chinook salmon, steelhead,
and bull trout has been developed for the Wenatchee River. Finally, the scientists
have completed an exploratory analysis of data on the impacts of wildfire
on seasonal water temperatures. All these projects are components of a larger
system that will allow the assessment of future effects of climate change

Express news partners with Gaming Realms to relaunch bingo sites
Express Newspapers has dabbled in the world of online bingo and games in the past with sites powered by GTech, but these disappeared from view in the last few months as GTech was eaten up by IGT and IGT have backed off from bingo to concentrate on instant and slot games.
The group is back in the game, however, as it has been revealed that a deal has been done with the Gaming Realms real money gaming division Bear Group. The Daily Express and the Daily Star will be launching Star Wins and Express Wins in the next few weeks.
The build and support of the new gaming sites will be through both the digital and print assets of Express Newspapers as part of a three-year revenue share agreement.
Gaming Realms CEO Patrick Southon said of the deal, "It's fantastic for the Group to sign a partnership deal with one of the UK's major newspaper businesses. If successful the partnership is expected to unlock a valuable source of revenue as well as potential further opportunities for collaboration."Read more about the Bear Group

Louise Redknapp is new face of all new Mecca Bingo

Feed costs, profit margins and markets weren't of the highest importance to JBS USA executives last week when they sat down to discuss the road ahead for the company.
Instead, the roundtable of company leaders and department heads spoke of the nearly $20,000 the company raised for the United Way in recent weeks, how their employees this past summer cooked meals for firefighters battling wild blazes in the mountains — and all agreed there "definitely" needs to be more such efforts from JBS in the future.
"We've stepped up recently ... but honestly, I think we've only scratched the surface," said Bill Rupp, president of the beef division at JBS USA — a company that's headquartered in Greeley and is a wholly owned subsidiary of JBS SA in Brazil, the world's largest meat processor.
All other executives present — including Don Jackson, CEO of JBS USA; Bill Lovette, CEO of JBS's Pilgrim's Pride chicken operations; Marty Dooley, president of the JBS pork division, and Matt Buyers, vice president of operations at JBS's Five Rivers Cattle Feeding — concurred that doing more in the community, and making local residents better understand what JBS is, are of the highest importance looking forward.
Looking in the rearview mirror, company heads said they acknowledge JBS "hasn't done a great job," certainly of the latter.
Large buildings on the west and east sides of Greeley have carried the JBS logo since 2007, the company operates a beef plant on the north end of town that processes about 5,400 head of cattle daily, has two Five Rivers feedlots near Kersey and Gilcrest that combined have the capacity to feed nearly 170,000 cattle, also has massive sheep, lamb and chicken operations, and altogether does tens of billions of dollars a year in business.
"Yet most people here don't really know who we are," Jackson said of JBS, which employs more than 4,000 people in the Greeley area. "That's our fault, and we need to change that."
Rather than being viewed as a global giant detached from its surrounding community, JBS officials say they want the northern Colorado people to know they're a supporter of family farms and ranches and other local businesses, are trying to use the region's resources efficiently as possibly, and are working against high operating expenses to produce food at a low cost, while also offering prenatal-nutrition and other literacy and education programs locally.
Civic leaders and others in Greeley have noticed an improvement in JBS's community involvement and donations since Jackson took over as the company's CEO in Greeley two years ago, but Jackson said he hopes the company continues moving even more so in that direction after he steps down in January and Andre Nogueira, currently the CEO of JBS Australia, takes over that post.
Jackson and other company heads present at last week's roundtable discussion say they want the present to serve as a jumping off point for better dialogue between Greeley, local organizations and local media and northern Colorado in general.
In addition to its top priority for the future, JBS leaders also talked about the following during Monday's hour-long discussion with The Tribune:
1 What is JBS doing to make operations more energy- or water-efficient?
While the agriculture industry and environmentalists are seemingly at odds, officials with the Environmental Protection Agency were complimentary of JBS's Five River Cattle Feeding facility near Kersey when they visited it this past summer, describing it as the "feedlot of the future," and saying more feeders nationally need to adopt such methods and technologies.
JBS officials said they'll continue moving in that direction, making strides with their "gasifier" operations at their Five Rivers Kuner Feedlot that uses methane from manure to produce electricity for facilities, as well as its water recycling and reuse projects at that feedyard.
Furthermore, company officials say they've made it a high priority to make its truck fleet the most energy-efficient in the industry.
"We can't expect other smaller companies to take these measures, but we're in a position to do so, so we will," Buyers said.
2 Will the challenges of the industry today affect jobs locally?
Rupp described the present as a "scary" time for the meat industries, due to the drought, high feed costs and other market factors stemming from the nation's ongoing dry spell. After once expecting a 14 billion bushel corn crop, forecasts now show U.S. farmers only producing a 10.6-billion bushel crop this fall, he said, and that will create "a much different cost environment" for JBS and others in the beef, chicken, lamb and pork industries between January to June next year, maybe longer, he added.
However, JBS officials added that they've become accustomed to dealing with tight profit margins in recent years, and although there will be challenges in the near future, they don't expect local jobs to be affected.
3 What other factors are affecting the meat industries and are expected to do so in the future?
All JBS officials said they want to continue producing affordable food, but said added regulations would threaten that goal in the U.S. — where consumers spend half the percentage of their incomes on food than most other developed countries.
They said they support ethanol production, but believe that the federal government mandating production has created an uneven playing field for the meat industries. JBS officials said that for decades, they dealt in corn prices that ranged from $1.50 to $3 per bushel, but now those prices stand in the $7-8 range, creating totally different dynamics for feed prices and increased volatility in the industry.
If we're going to put in place more regulations that make food more expensive, it needs to be something we're all in support of, officials said.
4 Some in the community, such as school officials, say there are language barriers and other issues due to the influx of immigrant workers that come to the area for JBS's jobs. Would you agree?
In discussing that much of their labor needs at the packing plant and other facilities bring immigrant workers — a "legal" immigrant workforce, Jackson stressed — officials agreed there are certainly language barriers that go along with that. Officials said some at the company estimate there are as many as 50 different languages being spoken at the local facilities. "It's an issue we put a lot of time into here," Jackson said. "It's vital in how we operate."
Jackson added that it's the hope of the company that the tax base JBS provides to the community can help local schools address the language barriers in its schools.
"But maybe, it needs to go beyond that," he added.
While many of the business' immigrant workers once hailed from Latino countries, they're now seeing an influx of political refugees from Somalia and Burma, they said.
5 Are there perks of doing business northern Colorado?
JBS officials stressed that with its great schools, communities, overall quality of life, operating in northern Colorado gives JBS an advantage in the competition for top-notch employees.
Furthermore, they said being in close proximity to three universities — University of Northern Colorado, Colorado State University and the University of Colorado — provides JBS with an "excellent" pool of applicants.
Yet most people here don't really know who we are. That's our fault, and we need to change that.
— Don Jackson, CEO of JBS USA

2013 Tactical Pens-Williams & Ti PR

Tualatin, Oregon, U.S.A. January 1, 2013
To everyone else they're just nice pensto you they are considerably more
Columbia River Knife & Tool®, along with custom knifemaker Allen Elishewitz and designer James Williams respectively, added two tactical pens to their already impressive line up.
A former Recon Marine, Elishewitz used his real world experience and custom knife making skills to design his Tao® Ti pen. It's a nice addition to his Tao® tactical pen series. The Tao® Ti is machined of TC6-64 Titanium with a bright finish that gives it a rich luster look and feel. The conical tipped cap is threaded to thread onto either pen body end for sure cap retention. A stainless steel pocket clip on the cap is an added convenience for carry as well.
Additionally, the Williams tactical pen design comes from the reputable James Williams with his Army officer experience and respected martial arts practitioner status. Williams designed his pen with an obvious severe conical end, and a tapered machined aluminum body for better grip whether writing, or otherwise. The stealthy black finish adds to the tactical look and feel. Pen cap design is snap-fit to either body end for ease and quickness.
Both pen designs come with zipper closure premium reinforced nylon presentation cases, and feature Fisher® Space Pen Ball cartridges for write anywhere qualities. Make no doubt about itwith some basic instruction or knowledge, one can use either one of these writing instruments against an assailant or attacker to inflict notice, pain or injurythwarting an otherwise potentially defenseless act. And they're just plain great writing instruments as well.
The Elishewitz Tao® Ti pen is a ônoteworthy" writing instrument, and the manufacturer's suggested retail price is $200.00. And, the Williams Tactical Pen speaks for itself, with a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $69.99.

Opps, sorry stupid post.
WTF are you babbling about, that's Doom3.
feel free to add me to your Wii, but don't forget to PM mehow about some rep for good postsThe search function is your friend. Do not ignore your friends. They get cancer and die and it is your fault.
Opps, sorry stupid post.
Just got my Ps3! The Wii is now gathering dust until Super Smash Brawl!
I would buy it cuz I never got a chance to play it... but I am rather sick of ports heading onto the Wii... If they did... it would have to have online multiplayer... if they took it out (like armageddon) i would shoot myself...
I love Mario....
either way you gotta accept DOOM3 was/is a good game

Agreed.Originally Posted by vagrant
2) For the same reason that people are buying RE4 for Wii.
I think the strength of the Doom series was multiplayer. If Doom 3 came out for the Wii and it allowed you to play against other people on the Wii and the PC it wouldnt be a bad idea.Originally Posted by Thegamerfan
problem is nintendo would probably let us down again.. and not only that but Doom 3 Multiplayer was bad. it would need to be overhauled...Originally Posted by ciper
I love Mario....
I disagree. I think the strength in the Doom series is Nostalgia. I know a lot of people my age and even adults who preordered it when it was coming out just because it was what made us love FPS. Wolfenstein was cool but nazi's are so played out.Originally Posted by ciper
And RE4 is cutting it with 2 years old.
Quake was more of the multiplayer game, Doom was more about the single player campaign.

The palm trees left dead and dying by the recent ice storm just aren't from here. They aren't palmettos. And that's an abject lesson in the value of planting native.
Native plants are adapted to the changes in local environment. They and native wildlife are adapted to each other.
The ice-distressed trees "are California fan palms," said College of Charleston botanist Jean Everett. "Our native palms did just fine."
Fan palms are very similar to the palmetto, the state tree, and often planted in its place, mistakenly or not. But "they are not cold tolerant enough to handle our recent unpleasantness," Everett said.
Dying shrubs, invasive takeovers - the consequences of widespread exotic "landscape" plants are giving native planting a new foothold in the Lowcountry.
The plants that belong here simply make better landscapes.
Invasives can be hard to tell apart from natives. A sprawling hedge of wisteria near an entrance to the nature trail in the Sullivan's Island isn't native, said landscaper Jeff Jackson of the S.C. Native Plant Society, although there is a very similar looking native Lowcountry wisteria. This one was planted and is taking over.
"A lot of our invasive plants came from our gardens, our landscaping and our agriculture," Jackson said.
Some subtropical-looking plants get so popular they are thought to be native. People are stunned when Jackson tells them that pampas grass is an invasive.
Not all non-natives are bad. Camellias aren't native. But they have found a niche here without supplanting another species.
"I'm not anti-exotic plants," Jackson said. "I'm anti-exotic invasives."
Not all local nurseries have quite caught on, Jackson cautions. The best way to tell if it's native is to ask a Master Gardener through Clemson Extension or another service. The society holds a native plant sale in the spring and fall each year. The next sale is March 15 at Charles Towne Landing.

Media Release: Recapture the nostalgia with Custos
Date: 2012-08-17
The nostalgia associated with Custos, the national parks and wildlife magazine, can now be recaptured. This magazine was an invaluable source of scientific and historical information and carried interesting facts and figures about the parks' fauna and flora. It also contained fascinating tales of wild and wonderful sightings, narrow escapes from the dangerous big five and amazing photography.
A box set containing digitally scanned copies in pdf format of the entire collection of this magazine is now available. The magazine was published from December 1971 up to the final edition in September 1998.
Reminisce about days gone by and the memories that formed a large part of the last quarter of the previous century with this treasure of natural scientific information. Custos was a household name to many visitors and friends of our country's national parks for many years. It was very much a part of any visit to the Kruger National Park, as each visitor received a copy as he or she entered the park's gates.
This project is an initiative of the SANParks Honorary Rangers, and funds raised will promote nature conservation activities in the South African National Parks.

NTU Start-Up Builds Remote-Operated Water Treatment Plant In Vietnam
An NTU start-up, De.Mem Pte Ltd, successfully launched its first overseas water treatment plant in Vietnam this month.
Asian Scientist Newsroom | May 20, 2013 | Top News
AsianScientist (May 20, 2013) - A Nanyang Technological University (NTU) start-up, De.Mem Pte Ltd, successfully launched its first overseas water treatment plant in Vietnam this month.
The remote-monitored, one-man operated plant is the first of its kind in Southeast Asia. Located at Duc Hoa, at Long An province near Ho Chi Minh City, the newly built plant is only about 120 square meters in size, but has an output of one million liters of drinking water daily, equivalent to 6,600 Singaporeans' daily water consumption. The plant will be linked wirelessly via an NTU-designed network back to the Singapore office, which will oversee and manage its daily operations.
The new plant, which is a joint venture between De.Mem and Vietnam company GD Wasser, is backed by Singapore-based investment firm, New Asia Investments, which had invested S$300,000 into De.Mem.
De.Mem - short for Decentralised Membranes, will design, build and operate the water treatment plant. The start-up is a subsidiary and partner of MINT (Membrane Instruments & Technology), an NTU spin-off company supplying water quality sensor technologies for water treatment plants. It uses MINT's patented membrane integrity sensor technologies developed at NTU's Nanyang Environment and Water Research Institute (NEWRI) to monitor the plant's performance.
"This model is a new form of de-centralised water treatment plants, where we can control the quality and operations of dozens of small water plants simultaneously while only needing very few skilled workers locally," said Dr Adrian Yeo, who is the General Manager of both De.Mem and MINT.
Riding on the successful launch of this first plant, four more water treatment plants are being planned for Vietnam by the end of this year.

ELKINS - Elkins officials bid a fond farewell this week to the city's treasurer, who has resigned to become a college educator.
Lisa Daniels-Smith, who served as treasurer since 2010 and helped put together a plan to bring the city out from under the crippling financial obligations of the Elkins-Randolph County Landfill, will now be a full-time instructor at Davis & Elkins College, specializing in accounting and business classes.
"It's exciting to start a new position but sad to leave my friends and co-workers," Daniels-Smith said this week as she was preparing her office for her last day of work on Thursday.

Among other honors, Daniels-Smith is the recipient of the 2014 Outstanding CPA in Government Award of the West Virginia Society of Certified Public Accountants, which was presented to her during a recent ceremony in Charleston. She said the award demonstrated her office's commitment to taking care of the taxpayers' money.
"The better we utilize public funds, the better the savings to the residents," she said this week.
Daniels-Smith pointed to two "standout accomplishments" during her tenure as city treasurer:
There are three possible opinions on the city's finances such an audit can return, Daniels-Smith said: an adverse, or negative, opinion; a qualified, or mixed, opinion, meaning there are multiple problems; or an unqualified, or positive opinion. This was only the fourth unqualified opinion the city had received in an audit during the past 17 years, and the first since the 2006 audit.
Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin signed the resulting "landfill bill" - House Bill 4339 - in June at Elkins City Hall. Campbell was the lead sponsor of the bill. The projected savings to the city is in excess of $9 million, Daniels-Smith said this week.
Since the signing, Daniels-Smith has worked with the state Department of Environmental Protection and Public Service Commission to develop an interim plan for the landfill, because the funding allocated by the bill will not be available for another three years. This plan will provide financial support and control of the landfill in the meantime, which will save the city between $300,000 to $400,000 over the next three years, she pointed out.
Daniels-Smith said she has enjoyed working for the city.
"It's been a life-learning experience to work for Elkins City Council because I consider Council 10 bosses," she said. "I want to thank City Council for the opportunities to serve our residents. I have created a strong foundation for my successor to build upon.
"Leaving my staff is probably going to be the hardest part, because they have gone with a structure they've never known before. I started with two employees and we've grown to an office of eight," she said. "They didn't always understand why but went forward with blind faith, and after it was said and done they understood why it was done. The team is only as strong as its weakest player, and I had no weak players here."
Daniels-Smith has been teaching classes since 2008, beginning as an adjunct faculty member at Fairmont State. She has taught part-time at D&E since 2012.
"It's a very rewarding career to be an educator," she said. "I do look forward to the unique challenges of educating. They are going to be much different from the business world."
City administrators sang Daniels-Smith's praises after her resignation was announced.
"Our city treasurer has done a great job," Broughton said. "She turned this city around when it was in bad shape.
"I remember going to Charleston with her. I think one Saturday we were there from 9 in the morning until 11 at night, 14 hours. We talked to the governor, we talked to our representatives. We accomplished a lot. I learned a lot from her. She's the best."
"She's done more for this city in the last two years than anybody in this room has in probably a long time," Councilman Bob Woolwine, chairman of the city's Finance Committee, said during the Aug. 7 City Council meeting.
"Lisa, thank you for all your hard work and all the long hours," Councilman Mark Scott said during the

I think the tech world is being a lot of generous on us these days. New launches, new announcements have surfaced in the recent days. See, just a week ago, Microsoft launched its tablet-cum-laptop, in the market to compete with the market-dominating brand Apple's iPad. If this is not enough, we got the news of Android OS's upgrade. Android got an upgrade from 4.0 IceCream Sandwich to 4.1 Jelly Bean. And now yet another great announcement.
Google too entered the tablet-market and thus in the competition with its very own Nexus tablet. It seems that Google was just waiting for Microsoft to take the initial step and as Microsoft's Surface was announced, Google announced its tablet within no time. Are they both planning to take out Apple, or what ???

With Google I/O's opening note, the company announced its first tablet under the 'Nexus' branding. Google has officially announced the Nexus 7 tablet, its very first reference-grade tablet. Nexus 7 is the first and currently the only device with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.
The device is not only the first one running on Jelly Bean but also the first one to ship with the fully finished Chrome for Android. The device is ofcourse made by Asus. Nexus 7 comes with some of the great features, that are way to much compared to its price. Its priced at $199 for the 8GB model and $249 for the 16GB model. And it comes with a $25 Google Play credit.
The device comes with a quad-core Tegra 3, a 1.2 megapixel front camera, NFC technology, 1280×800 HD display and a 7-inch IPS-based LCD covered in a 'Scratch-resistant Corning glass'. All this for just a mediocre price of $199. The device also has GPS feature.

This is very scary, folks. Scarier than any halloween movie because it's reality.
This is very scary, folks. Scarier than any halloween movie because it's reality.
Yes, the rise of invasive species with no natural enemies is completely scary. It's too bad we can't make this fish a food delicacy; then it could be over-fished just like tuna.
The species invasions that make me maddest are the ones done on purpose by irresponsible humans: for example, owners of "pet" pythons who just release their snakes into the wild in Florida, so that now they're endemic.
we have it up here, too, with Pike... we catch and kill (it's a law, you catch one you kill it). they've killed entire salmon and trout populations.
But it is also true that this has been going on since the beginning of time. Ecosystems change. Species change their habitat. You want scary, consider what the different Ice Ages did to their respective ecosystems.
You could call what we have along the East Coast right now "invasive species" or you could recognize that since the water in Long Island Sound is warmer than it was in the twentieth century that warm-water loving southern species are moving north-and so are cold-water loving species fleeing before them to find cool water. Our lobsters and the lobsters of Rhode Island and Massachusetts have been migrating to Maine. Maine now has so many that the price of lobster has tanked. Here in CT, there is a moratorium on lobster fishing.
Fish and marine life have never stayed stuck right where you put them. There are no undersea fences to keep them penned into one area.
The article said the Lion fish is native to the Pacific, and had no natural predators in the Atlantic. What is controlling it in the Pacific?
Our oceans are screwed. Oversishing and pollution is going to be the end of them.
Wikipedia lists these predators, but wiki is always a bit ???
Moray eels (family Muraenidae),[12] bluespotted cornetfish (Fistularia commersonii) and large groupers, like the tiger grouper (Mycteroperca tigris)[13] and Nassau grouper (Epinephelus striatus), have been observed preying on lionfish.[14][15][16] It remains unknown, however, how commonly these predators prey on lionfish.[17] Sharks are also believed to be capable of preying on lionfish with no ill-effects from its spines.[18] Park officials of the Roatan Marine Park in Honduras have attempted to train sharks to feed on lionfish as of 2011 in an attempt to control the invasive populations in the Caribbean.[19] Predators of larvae and juvenile lionfish remain unknown, but may prove to be the primary limiting factor of lionfish populations in their native range.[12]
Yes, it is very true that humans redistribute species. A lot. More than other natural causes. But so do birds that drop live fish. So do flooding streams, and other natural events.
Consider this strange & unlikely event:
If the fish fell into a pond, they may not have died on impact.
So what's going on with fish redistribution is something that has always gone on, but humans are making it happen faster.
It's not just fish. Starlings and stink bugs are problems, too. I believe Stink bugs arrived on cargo vessels and have no natural enemies in US. Apparently, there's some kind of hornet in China that preys on stink bugs, but I think I'd rather deal with the stink bugs vs hornets, at least for now.
The business of importing predators for this and that invasive species is all too much like the kindergarten song:
and importing things on purpose that turn out badly is not new
Loosestrife has nearly exterminated the native Joe Pye weed.
The English sparrow is hugely common, and I'm sure, has taken habitat from native species.
Dutch elm blight came here from the Netherlands, and killed most all the elms on America's numerous Elm Streets.
I have hated for years the Oriental bittersweet that is strangling plants & trees in our eastern US forests.
But somehow the old ecosystem turns into the new ecosystem.
And thus it ever was.
And with climate change, it better well had continue to be that way. That's how the earth will survive.
We don't have to get into a how old is the earth discussion-even in historic times there have been huge shifts from time to time.
During Roman times, it is a fact that North Africa (now desert) was the breadbasket of the Roman Empire.
That's a pretty radical change right there.
Not to mention the so-called Little Ice Age that occurred after the Medieval Warm Period,
from 1350 to 1850.
Our Great Lakes are under serious threat from Asian Carp.

Unless you turn your head away, as I did, you get to see the contest in detail. But even if you are as squeamish as I, you'll get a second or third chance to look at the dismemberments, for director Kevin Greutert likes to flash back to key moments from this film as well as from other Saws.
'Saw 6'
Rated: R, bloody violence and torture, language
In "Saw 6" most of the action, if that's what it can be called, unfolds in what appears to be an abandoned zoo. A horrifying game is going on, apparently controlled by a super-villain known as Jigsaw. Once thought to be John Kramer (Tobin Bell), Jigsaw presently targets people in the health insurance racket. Realizing how unpopular such citizens might be these days, I'll leave deeper analysis of that choice to politicians and social scientists.
Though dead, Kramer still appears in fuzzy television images to let the victims know why they're being subjected to various forms of torture. But the living controller of the violent games is Hoffman (Costas Mandylor), ostensibly an officer of the law. Hoffman rarely shows expression of any kind. He's ably assisted, or so it seems, by Jill (Betsy Russell), Kramer's voluptuous widow. Unlike Hoffman, Betsy always seems to be wearing a peculiar grin, but you never know why.
Slow slaughter extends throughout the picture, with many scenes stretched out annoyingly. Victims are always subjected to self-destruction according to deadlines, with digital clocks prominent in the background. Essentially, the film's subject matter is relentless torture, accompanied by loud, blood-curdling screams. Lots of people must like that stuff, for this franchise just goes on and on.

OCZ Fatal1ty 700w ATX PSU
Cables & Looking Inside
Published: 25th February 2009 | Source: OCZ | Price: £108.09 |Cables & Looking Inside
Starting with the cables, the most obvious feature of the Fatal1ty is the red sleeving designed to fit in with the overall theme of the unit. While OCZ's efforts are certainly appreciated, it would have been better if they'd chosen some sleeving that doesn't share the level of transparency of fishnet stockings, allowing all the gory bits beneath to be fully on show.
Much like stockings, the sleeving also falls short of going the entire length of the cables, instead stopping once it reaches the first connector. Although this has probably been done to give a better bend radius for when you're trying to stretch out the cables between your hard disks and DVD drive, it doesn't do much for aesthetics.
Both the ATX 24-Pin and EPS 8-Pin connectors are capable of downgrading themselves to older 20-Pin and 4-Pin standards by means of a removable 4-Pin connector; likewise, the PCI-E connectors can also be changed between 6-Pin and 8-Pin standards to suit the graphics card.
The insides of the Fatal1ty are fairly cramped, with most components sitting underneath the two black aluminium heatsinks that span the length of the unit. The layout is quite different to most of the other OCZ PSU's we've seen in the past such as the GameXStream and ModXStream and therefore it's quite possible that OCZ has picked a new OEM this time around.
Rather than putting all their eggs in one basket and going for a single huge capacitor, OCZ have spread the workload over three smaller caps from the Nippon-Chemicon KMR range. These caps are rated at 105c / 430v / 180uF, which to an extent indicates that they are pretty high quality.
A single large transformer deals with all the main rails with the exception of the 5VSB rail that needs its own smaller transformer for providing stand-by voltages. Interestingly, it does look like the PCB is kitted out ready for a higher output model - as sitting next to the main transformer is the solder points for another transformer of a similar size. 1kw Fatal1ty anyone?
Ello, ello, ello what do we have here? It would appear that the PCB is marked up as an OCZ Technology EliteXstream. Looking back to our review of that very unit last year we can indeed see that, with the exception of a missing transformer and a change in the capacitors, we are indeed looking at a lower wattage version of the EliteXStream blinged out with some red lighting. Could it be that Mr. Wendel only picked the colour of the lights he wanted inside this PSU?

I don't think this psu is the only one that skimps on connector types. It's obvious to see that the makers are believing u need 1jiggaW of a psu to attempt any dual card setup.
Or perhaps trying to convince the public.

Seriously tho, it does look a bit haphazardly placed but it is there simply to help space out some of the components and prevent them from touching others nearby. Larger PSU's don't generally have it, but these compact little ones where everything is squeezed together often have lots of white stuff splurged everywhere.

Nice review matey, I really don't like the way companies use the fatality branding on stuff to make it appeal, but the PSU seems pretty good so I can forgive.Quote
I can't help but feel that this Fatal1ty stuff is being strung out way too long now though. The red LED's are sexy and all, but what could he honestly have helped with during the development of this PSU, besides pointing out where his logo should go? It's all marketing fluff tbh. It is decently priced though.
Another small typo btw:
Should be either "with the potential to" or "which can potentially".Quote
Obviously there's a certain irony here in that the only part of a PC system with the potentially cause serious injury or death
Do my eyes deceive me...Is that three adjustable pots sitting around looking sexy on that daughterboard there? Yes, yes it is. I'm not 100% sure if these are for fine tuning rail voltages, or just for making adjustment to the fan speed - as the board does actually double-up as the fan controller, but if you're into poking around inside PSU's with a screwdriver only milimetres away from the mains EMI filter, why not let me know!

A 32-year-old woman faces charges after using a counterfeit $100 bill at a Rockvale Square Outlets store on Friday evening and trying to use one at four others, according to police.
Toni Lyn Miller, of Sinking Spring, is charged with five counts of forgery, four counts of criminal attempt at theft by deception and one count of theft by deception, police said.
Police said they recovered two counterfeit $100 bills, and Miller would select an inexpensive item to get a large amount of change.

The Laboratory of Neural Systems, Decision Science, Learning and Memory (NSDSLM) seeks to understand plasticity mechanisms within neural systems that underlie normal and pathological mnemonic functions. Our animal model, experience-dependent navigation, is a natural and essential, yet complex, learning system that is often impaired when one or more part of its broad, underlying neural circuit is compromised, such as in Alzheimer's disease, stroke, and brain injury, as well as in cases of drug addiction.
Experience-dependent navigation requires the proper function, and integration, of neural activity located in different learning and memory-related brain structures (e.g. the hippocampus, amygdala, prefrontal cortex, and the striatum). Activity in these structures is supported and regulated by other areas of brain that mediate sensation, perception, the selection of appropriate responses, and the evaluation of the outcomes of behaviors. Thus, we take a broad neural systems perspective to study the interactions between multiple brain systems during active navigation. Specifically, we use genetic, cellular, and neural circuit methods in freely behaving rodents to uncover the neural and behavioral mechanisms that underlie one's ability to learn and remember spatial context-dependent new information, and to make appropriate decisions that guide future navigational choices.
