With the introduction of WeChat Wallet, the super easy, fuss-free, mostly foreigner-friendly and socially
You know you've been in Beijing for a bit when visiting friends and relatives are horrified and/or amused
This relaxed hutong bar is well known for its creative cocktails and reasonably priced international beers and wines. The walls are decorated with art by the bar's multi-talented owners, a husband and wife team who also cook up some of the city's best gourmet pizza. Just east of Nanluoguxiang, Mao Mao Chong is the perfect escape from Beijing's flashy bar district.
Mao Mao Chong is set in a traditional Beijing house with rustic, high-beamed ceiling complemented by a modern concrete and wooden bar, modern artworks and lighting, giving a relaxed homely atmosphere while still being a cool bar.
Still the perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of Beijing's flashy bar districts.
At the new Ban Chang location we also offer delicious Italian style thin crust pizza. Leek and blue cheese, pancetta and broccoli, potato, caramelized onion and rosemary are just some of our delicious pizzas on the menu.
We've also updated the drinks menu with some new mouth watering cocktails, more beers, warm naughty nightcaps and lots of delicious non-alcoholic concoctions.
Drop by and check it out!
###Mao's Metamorphosis
Mao Mao Chong's re-launch near Nanluoguxiang marks a metamorphosis for the venue and one of the most exciting openings of 2010. Beers start at ¥13 and the specialty cocktails are superb and reasonably priced. Try the MMC martini—tequila, Grand Marnier, honey-infused vodka, fresh ginger and lime (¥35). Now in a large, converted hutong home, MMC has room for art on the walls, skylights and comfortable seating. A former chef at an Italian restaurant in Melbourne, owner Stephen Rocard also makes delicious pizzas with hearty homemade crusts (¥15-55).

Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie – review
Publisher's Description:
On a remote, icy planet, the soldier known as Breq is drawing closer to completing her quest.
Breq is both more than she seems and less than she was. Years ago, she was the Justice of Toren–a colossal starship with an artificial intelligence linking thousands of corpse soldiers in the service of the Radch, the empire that conquered the galaxy.
An act of treachery has ripped it all away, leaving her with only one fragile human body. And only one purpose–to revenge herself on Anaander Mianaai, many-bodied, near-immortal Lord of the Radch.
What I expected: I was not quite sure what to expect. I knew it would be a military science fiction with an artificial intelligence as the main character. I did not have any preconceived notions on this one because I have not read too many novels with an AI as a main character, and I hoped that it would be interesting.
What I got: Wel,l it was definitely interesting! I got more of a political story than a military one, to my mind – though many people will say all military is politics anyway – and much more of a personal feel from an artificial intelligence. I got quite a bit of confusion, as well, trying to uncover the naming conventions that were stalling my brain when dealing with the ancillaries and their units. It took me a good long while to get into the story because of this and the confusion of learning about this new civilization and how they interact with each other, the physical world, and other entities. And so the first half of the book went pretty slow for me. However, I was enjoying it enough to keep going until the narrative really picked up and was glad that I kept with it.
What I liked: I really liked how the author gave the reader the sense of how much information was being pulled in and monitored by the Justice of Toren by pointing out all of the differing views it was being given through all of the ancillaries on duty at any given time. I also liked how Breq had to deal with messy human issues when it had no real background in dealing with that kind of thing.
What I did not: The naming convention for the ancillary units was a bit confusing to me, so it got a little annoying. I felt that there was a logical flaw that would mean that this narrative could not have happened the way it did according to the world building. However, this never occurred to me until I was finished with the story so it did not affect my enjoyment of the book.
Cover talk: I actually like this cover a lot, but I did not think I would. I like that it could almost be an abstract and the lines make the eye focus and sort out what it is looking at before immediately seeing it is a science fiction tale.
Recommendation: Any science fiction fan should give this one a try. If you like the idea of space travel with all of its conflicting civilizations and contrasting religions and stories based upon the hurt and fear engendered by betrayal from within, you will like this. Additionally, it is almost a story of discovery of self. Justice of Toren has to be much less than she used to be, and this is both better and worse.

Pathfinder Organizes Workshop on Policies for Ethnic Minority Students in Medical Education in Viet Nam
Pathfinder has been actively engaged in Health Human Resource Development policy dialogue in the health sector. Together with development partners, it has supported various policy initiatives in improvement of health regulatory framework including policies to enhance the ethnic minority health workforce in mountainous and ethnic minority regions. Having more ethnic minority health staff serving their community has been long considered as an effective and sustainable approach to improve quality and access to services to ethnic minority populations.
On July 17th, 2012 Pathfinder collaborated with the Parliamentary Committee for Social Affairs to organize a workshop to review the Health Human Resource Development policies under implementation for ethnic minority students in medical education. The workshop was held under the framework of Pathfinder's "Improving Health Care for Ethnic Minority Populations" project funded by Atlantic Philanthropies, and included a review of preferential policies to enhance enrollment, recruitment and retention of ethnic minority students in medical education and services. Amendments and new policy formulations were offered in an attempt to further improve impact in this area.
More than 60 participants from organizations and agencies at both national and sub-national levels attended this event. They included deputies of the National Assembly (e.g. the Ethnic Minority Council, Parliamentary Committee for Social Affairs, and standing executive deputies of Provincial People's Councils), representatives of ministerial agencies (e.g. Ministry of Health, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Investment and Planning, Institute for Health Policy and Strategy, School of Public Health, and Central Committee for Ethnic Affairs), representatives of medical universities and colleges that are training ethnic minority students, as well as representatives of the provincial health services and provincial board on ethnic affairs of project partners. The event was also attended by donors and development partners.
To prepare for this event, Pathfinder provided technical and financial support to the Central Committee for Ethnic Affairs, the agency mandated to take charge of policy advice and monitoring of ethnic affairs, to carry out an assessment (from April-June 2012) on the status on implementation of the preferential policies for ethnic minority students in medical education enrollment, recruitment and retention. The findings of this assessment together with the reports of government agencies at national and sub-national levels laid a foundation for vivid discussions on achievements as well as challenges and inadequacies in these policies and their implementation. Participants also brought up different recommendations for policy amendments and improvements.
The findings shared at the workshop showed that significant progress was made. Among them was the acknowledgement of the impact of these policies in improving and consolidating the health workforce at different levels in mountainous and ethnic minority regions. This has allowed greater access to health care for ethnic minority populations. On the other hand, they also pinpointed various issues and challenges in the implementation of preferential policies for ethnic minority students to enroll, study well, and be well retained. Among others, there are issues to address such as limited coordination and collaboration among national and sub-national agencies in the process of selection and recruitment of eligible ethnic minority students, lack of provincial strategic plans in recruitment and utilization of ethnic minority graduated students, unwillingness of provincial agencies to recruit the graduated ethnic minority students for fear of low quality, shrinking trends in quotas for ethnic minority students to benefit from preferential policies, weak motivation among training institutions to train ethnic minority students due to low level of education of ethnic minority students, and insufficient funds to train ethnic minority groups in school. The preferential regimes are not sufficient enough to motivate health staff working in ethnic minority and mountainous areas.
The participants actively discussed the findings and made recommendations to Parliamentary Committee for Social Affairs' consideration and further discussion at the National Assembly. The Parliamentary Committee for Social Affairs leadership acknowledged and thanked Pathfinder for their technical and financial support in bringing this issue on its agenda. It has been also acknowledged that the policy issue of enhanced enrollment of ethnic minority students and better recruitment and retention of an ethnic minority workforce should be addressed in a wider context of Health Human Resource Development at the Committee level. Therefore, the Committee will see this as a priority task for the next two years.
As a follow-up, Pathfinder will continue to support the leadership in each province partner under the project to look at the issues specific to the respective provinces and recommend improvements. The Parliamentary Committee for Social Affairs will support in monitoring the progress of the work in the provinces and help organize another workshop to inform the different Committees of the National Assembly and share the result with other provinces.

BWW Review: BOOK OF MORMON Triumphs at Wharton Center
by Anton Anderssen - Jun 19, 2016
I love Mormons. I met my first church member while I was a teenager, studying my family history. They archive practically every family tree ever recorded. It has something to do with their religion, but they don't really like to talk about it, similar to their stance on magic underwear. Now on stage at The Wharton Center for Performing Arts on the campus of Michigan State University is the wickedly cutting, outrageously hysterical 'Book of Mormon,' a musical satire that unearths all those little idiosyncrasies associated with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. This performance was magical, I could almost feel the mana imbued in the actors' magic underwear. One of the stars, Cody Jamison Strand plays Elder Cunningham, gave a performance to die for.

This 8 inch long arm kit includes progressive rate, front Pro-Ride Coil Springs and heavy duty, long upper and lower control arms.

This 4-Link long arm system retains the factory triangulation of the arms as well which adds to the stability of the suspension system. What does this mean ? Basically it drives great both on and off road. All four control arms are greasable for long term performance.
A dropped forged pitman arm is included to maintain the factory steering angles. A track bar relocation bracket properly centers the axle under the vehicle. Extended bump stops and sway bar links maintain the OE characteristics.
The rear of the Dodge Ram is lifted via a 5 inch block kit or optional Glide-Ride Leaf Springs.
Not only is the kit designed to last, but so is the finish. Every bracket is powder coated twice with a base grey color and then a clear coat over the top to ensure long term performance of our finish.

Thursday, August 7, 2014
Three decades ago, Pastor Frank Holsclaw and his wife, Gail, were looking for a program to keep their young daughters, who both have special needs, busy during the summer.
When they couldnt find one for Joy and Abigail, they started J.O.Y. School at their church, Pawleys Island Presbyterian. J.O.Y. is short for Jesus. Others. Yourself.
Last week, the 30th season of the J.O.Y. School came to a close with a music and comedy program in front of an overflow crowd at the church.
Its really grown leaps and bounds since we began, Pastor Holsclaw said.
The support from all the different organizations, the churches and the community has really been great.
The Holsclaws have watched the children grow up, and the still get pleasure from seeing the kids full of happiness and joy, the pastor said.
The program, which is free for participants, takes place very June and July. Along with educational, music and drama activities, there are also field trips to the beach, a swimming pool, a bowling alley and boat rides.
A lot of these children, if they were not at a program like this would be at home, with their parents having to look after them, Pastor Holsclaw said.
So just to be able to see children be able to have a wonderful summer like other children are able to enjoy, that what thrills me the most.
This was the 24th year for program director Martha Insignares.
I cant imagine spending my summer anywhere else, she said. I cant imagine spending six weeks with any better people then these: the kids, the parents, the staff.
The title of this years closing program was In Search of the You Can Bird in the Rainforest. In additional to musical performances, many of the J.O.Y. School participants also told jokes and told the audience who their favorite teachers were.
This was the first year dialogue was added to the show, Insignares said.
Granger Brown of Pawleys Island signed up his brother George, for the first time this summer. George was visiting from Stillwater, Okla.
Brown said he doesnt know of any programs like J.O.Y. School in Oklahoma.
He had a great time, Brown said. I didnt know anything like this existed. And to see the turnout of how many people came out here in this small of a town, community.
Brown said he hopes to bring George back every summer.
For more information on J.O.Y. School go to www.pawleysislandpresby.com and click on the link for ministries. There is an application at the bottom left-hand corner of the page.

Sufjan Stevens enchants fans with silly sing-along 'Christmess'
Christmas is a messy holiday, piled high with associations both religious and secular, inextricably intertwined with misty family memories and hazy recollections of parties, bathed in forced cheer and genuine warmth.
Thursday night at Turner Hall Ballroom, Sufjan Stevens gloried in the contradictions and excesses, and he added his own: The show was variously called "Christmess [sic] Sing-A-Long" and "Seasonal Affective Disorder Yuletide Disaster Pageant on Ice." »Read Full Article(2)

Reviews for Animal Care League
1 person found this review helpful
This place advertises as a "no-kill" shelter. Nothing could be further from the truth. Animal Care League kills one out of five dogs. I work in the animal rescue field and I have never seen anything so despicable as what the Animal Care League did in the case of a dog named Cookie who Animal Care League killed after this poor dog traveled hundreds of miles to find safety. With a simple telephone call, Cookie could have been in a home for Christmas. Animal Care League knew it. Animal Care League knew that someone only had to make a simple call to send Cooke to the home who cared for her before she went to the Animal Care League. Instead, Animal Care League killed Cookie as soon as she walked into their rotten shelter.

FOXBORO -- Three months ago Monday, it was hard to imagine the Patriots being where they are today.
Three months ago Monday, they squandered a 23-10 lead in the final nine minutes of the fourth quarter and lost a 24-23 heartbreaker to the Seahawks in Seattle that dropped their record to 3-3 . . . the first time they'd had a .500 record that late in a season since 2002.
Today -- 10 wins in 11 games later -- they're in a far, far different place.
A three-touchdown game from Shane Vereen sparked the Patriots to a 41-28 divisional round victory over the Texans that put them back in the AFC Championship Game for the second straight year, and the third time in six years. Like last year, they'll be hosting the Ravens at Gillette Stadium, with the winner going on to the Super Bowl.
The Texans suffered a humiliating 42-12 spanking at the hand of the Pats on national television at Gillette last month, and no one really expected them to be able turn around a 30-point defeat. But no one expected another blowout, either, and Houston was able to set a different tone on the opening kickoff. Danieal Manning fielded the kick six yards deep in the end zone and proceeded to take 94 yards downfield before finally being hauled down from behind by Devin McCourty at the Patriots' 12. In so doing, he'd given Houston something -- momentum, and a chance to take a lead -- it had never had in December.
But the Patriots' defense set a tone of its own. Helped by a horrific Matt Schaub overthrow of Andre Johnson on third down, the Pats held the Texans to a 27-yard Shayne Graham field goal and a 3-0 lead.
Regardless, it was obvious this one would play out differently than the last meeting . . . especially when the Patriots' offense, battered by the dual losses of Danny Woodhead (wrist) and Rob Gronkowski (arm) in the first two series, took a bit of time to get untracked.
Untracked they did get, however, and it looked as if they'd gotten things under control when a pair of touchdowns from Vereen (1-yard run, capping a 65-yard drive, and 8-yard pass from Tom Brady, finishing an 80-yard march) sandwiched around a 37-yard field goal by Stephen Gostkowski put them in front, 17-3, with 3:43 to play in the first half.
Then, however, the Texans did something few teams do: They took control away from the Patriots at the end of a half.
First, after another long (35 yards) kick return by Manning, with 15 yards tacked on for a horse tackle by Gostkowski, Houston went down and scored in 2 minutes and 23 seconds; Arian Foster bulled over from the 1 to finish the drive. The Pats went three and out, the Texans took possession on their own 38 with 24 seconds left, and Schaub was able to move them into position for a 55-yard field goal by Graham as time expired in the half, making it 17-13.
But the Pats regained control for good in the second half. Brady directed a 7-play, 69-yard scoring drive off the kickoff that culminated with an eight-yard TD run by Stevan Ridley and a 24-13 lead. Rob Ninkovich choked off a Texans threat with an interception later in the quarter, and the Pats capitalized with a five-yard TD pass from Brady to Brandon Lloyd, finishing a 6-play, 63-yard march, making it 31-13.
In the fourth quarter, the teams traded long touchdown passes -- 33 yards from Brady to Vereen, and 25 yards from Scaub to DeVier Posey -- before a one-yard scoring pass from Schaub to Foster and a 38-yard field goal by Gostkowski accounted for the 38-28 final.

Born in North Bohemia in what is now known as the Czech Republic, Daniel Swarovski entered and finished his 2-year apprenticeship at his father's glass cutting factory. He invented an electric crystal-cutting machine that revolutionizes the industry in 1892 at the age of 30. The A. Kosman, Daniel Swarovski & Co. (also known as K.S. & Co.) was founded in 1895 by financier Armand Kosman and Franz Weis. The company located in the village of Wattens in Tyrol, Austria, due to the plentiful hydraulic power supply there.
The Swarovski Company has produced cut crystal masterpieces for a variety of products including decorative real and mythical characters, champagne glasses, purses, clothing, jewelry, chandeliers, Swarovski candelabra lamps, couture, home décor and crystal sculptures and miniatures. The original Swarovski logo was that of an edelweiss flower, but has been replaced over time by the "S.A.L." logo, a swan logo and finally with simply the Swarovski name itself.
In 1950, Swarovski introduced the aurora borealis crystal effect with designs by French designer Christian Dior. The aurora borealis effect is one of the most popular coatings used by the company and gives the surface of the crystal a rainbow oil slick appearance, imitating the aurora borealis lights. Swarovski uses other special metallic chemical coatings than just the aurora borealis coating and sometimes even coats the crystal more than once. This effect can be seen in Swarovski wedding dresses, which catch the light and refracts it out producing a glimmering effect.

Griffey's and Foamposites...shoes for black people.

April 5, 2012 BY John Kim / 14
Nevermind the groundhog – Opening Day of Major League Baseball marks the start of the Spring season, so to coincide with today's wide launch of the 2012 season is a look back at one of the rarest and undiscovered Player Exclusives we've ever seen. Check out this sick Nike Air Griffey Max 1 Player Exclusive made for Ken Griffey Jr. for the 1996 MLB All-Star Game; at just 26 years of age, Griffey was one of the most (if not the most) feared hitter in the game, earning a multitude of awards and consideration an a yearly basis while making the All-Star Game his summer time-share – he was pretty much guaranteed a spot. This PE, brought to us by Nike sample monger youbetgrish, features the Air Griffey Max 1 in a unique glossy patent leather-like finish – remember it was the Air Jordan XI of that same year that introduced the patent leather to the athletic shoe. Check out the extra angles of this baseball treat and let us know if you want Nike to whip up some more Air Griffey Max 1 colorways! Photos via sole-u
Griffey's and Foamposites...shoes for black people.
Nike needs to make these ASAP, cool grey would be a good start....
OOOF foaming at the mouth
September blue is the other name. Look it up
just nasty
sick!!!! i want more air max griffey 1 retros!!!
My heart skipped a beat.. They are gorgeous.. Bring out the September Blue Jordan 6s also.
How can it be a PE made for him to wear in the All Star game if it isn't a cleat?
These are FIRE! I'm still sick I slept on the ones that released.

UPS, FedEx scrambling to deliver late Christmas packages
Bring in extra drivers, even rent U-Haul trucks to help battle backlog; some online retailers offering gift cards, shipping fee refunds
Record online sales this holiday season and rough winter weather in some parts of the country proved to be too much for UPS and FedEx.
Both are calling in extra drivers and even renting U-Haul trucks to hit the road Thursday to deliver packages that didn't make it to their destinations in time for Christmas.
The companies say they expect most of the delayed packages to arrive Thursday.
Vickie Madsen had nothing under her Christmas tree in Wichita, Kansas after UPS didn't come through.
"I picked out Harry Potter stuff for my youngest," she says. "I was really excited and I couldn't wait to see her face and it didn't happen.
"So I was disappointed," she added, starting to cry.
Both UPS and FedEx are blaming bad weather and extra-last minute online shopping for the delays. The short holiday shopping season – Thanksgiving was late this year – also contributed, analysts note.
Neither company would say how many packages didn't arrive in time for the holiday, but both say it was a small share of overall holiday shipments.
On its website, UPS said, " (We) understand the importance of your holiday shipments. However, the volume of air packages in our system exceeded the capacity of our network."
UPS officials told Bloomberg Businesweek it expected to ship more than 132 million items the week before Christmas.
Some angry customers complained on the shipper's Facebook page, while others took to Twitter with the hashtag "UPS fail."
Some customers went to shipping centers in person to look for packages that never showed up.
In Charlotte, N.C., Alejandro Mercure said, "People are upset because their niece, their nephew, their grandchildren, their girlfriend or boyfriend or fiancee didn't get what they wanted and they were guaranteed it was going to happen."
But many customers took the delays in stride.
In Boston, Cory Zafron expressed empathy for delivery drivers working late on Christmas Eve
"I saw UPS and Federal Express drivers out there until 10, 11 o'clock at night, doing the best they could," he said.
Still, some frustrated customers say they paid a premium for guaranteed delivery — and are demanding refunds.
Some online retailers, including Amazon.com, are offering gift cards and refunds of shipping fees for items that didn't make it on time.

I have to admit to not learning much about these in class, not because we didn't cover the information, but because I was not yet thinking about infections like a midwife. As a childbirth educator, my training in pregnancy infections went something like this. "Herpes is no big deal. They can cover any spots and prevent spread to the baby." "Toxoplasmosis is no big deal. Most women with a cat have already been exposed." I was then assured that the medical community exaggerated these infections and used them to get women to do whatRead More →

The data will be fetched through a 3G/4G data connection, and the glasses will retrieve information about their surroundings through GPS and several sensors.
The glasses will cost "around the price of current smartphones," sources say. While definitely not very precise – current smartphones cost anywhere from $150 to $600 – this price range shows that Google intends the glasses as a product for the mass market.
Are heads-up display glasses the stuff sci-fi dreams are made of?
"Don't Be Anti-Social During Meals With Friends."
Everyone puts their phones in the middle of the table. Whoever cracks first by touching their phone, pays for the entire meal.
The purpose of the game was to get everyone off their phones, away from twitter, facebook, texting, etc and to encourage conversations. In other words, help cure the "Anti-Social Social Media Craziness."
1) The game starts after everyone sits down.
2) Everybody places their phone in the middle of the table.
3) The first person to touch their phone loses the game.
4) Loser of the game pays the bill for everyone's meal.
5) If the bill comes before anyone has touched their phone, everybody is declared a winner and pays for their own meal.
We had a blast. Conversation rocked. Everyone loved it.
Are You Game? Are you willing to turn the tide of anti-social behavior? What do you think?!?

I was in a car accident on Dec 30 last year - rear ended by an 18 wheeler tanker trunk. Thank God I was the only one in the car and foruntatly only suffered minor injuries - chronic back problems that finally subsided just as I found out that I'm expecting our first baby! The other injury - torn ligaments in my left wrist.
The dilemma: After months of trying less intensive solutions for my wrist, it's not any better. I found out that I 100% have to have surgery for my wrist the week before my BFP. My orthopedist said he didn't want to do elective surgery on someone who's pregnant. My OB disagrees that its certainly not "elective". OB said its totally fine to have the surgery in 2nd trimester if the orthopedist does a nerve block (instead of anesthesia). I would of course be extremely limited on the pain meds I could take after the surgery, but the BIG kicker is that I will have to be in a full arm cast (palm up) for 6 weeks!!!! My concern and my OB's concern, if the orthopedist still wants to wait until after I've given birth... how am I going to manage a new born w/ my arm in a full cast for 6 weeks. It already breaks my heart to think of not holding him or her.
...this doesn't even go into the issues I'll have w/ short term disability and FMLA from having to be out 12 days earlier this year after the accident,,, the time off I'll need after the surgery (regardless of when I have it) ...and of course maternity leave.... AND that we can't finalize the settlement until AFTER all medical treatment is complete.

8 YouTube Channels You Might Actually Pay To Watch
YouTube recently announced subscription-based channels, and you probably won't want to pay for most of them. But for a channel dedicated to '90s cartoons, or for The Rap Battle Network, you just might.
On Thursday, YouTube announced in a blog post that they would be rolling out a slate of subscription-based channels — ones you'll have to pay for. Rumors of this announcement were swirling earlier in the week, which raised the question of whether people would actually pay to watch YouTube. The overwhelming response was: nope. Not gonna do it.
But now the 53 channels have been announced — and yes, a lot of them are generic, market-tested fare like Pets TV, Recipe TV and Cars TV. But! But! A handful of the channels actually look pretty awesome too! Here are eight channels that you might actually pay money to watch.
2. If you love 90s cartoons…
3. DHX Retro, $4.99 per month
DHX Retro is like the BuzzFeed Rewind of paid YouTube channels. There is so much nostalgic cartoon goodness: Inspector Gadget, Super Mario Brothers, Sabrina The Animated Series, Archie's Weird Mysteries, Sonic the Hedgehog, The Legends of Zelda, Paddington Bear.
4. If you're obsessed with British television…
5. Acorn TV, $4.99 per month
I would pay just for Upstairs Downstairs (Downton Abbey of the 1970s) and to watch Helen Mirren in the 90s detective series Prime Suspect, but The Forsyte Saga — and the thought of Damian Lewis speaking with native accent — really seal the deal.
6. If you're a gun nut…
7. Personal Defense Network, $4.99 per month
To be fair, the Personal Defense Network is not just about guns — it's also about knives, and hand-to-hand combat techniques, and tips about how to handle yourself if you're ever mugged — but it's mostly about guns.
8. If you are craving LGBT programing…
9. Here TV, $7.99 per month
Here TV has the heftiest price tag of any of YouTube's paid channels, but it also has the most robust offering — scripted dramas, comedies, reality series and talk shows.
10. If you really want to up your golf game…
11. PGA Digital Golf Academy, $4.99 per month
The Digital Golf Academy is exactly what you would imagine it would be: hours of tips on pitching, chipping, putting, reading the green and getting out of the sand trap as told by the pros at PGA of America.
12. …Cause it's dope
13. The Rap Battle Network, $2.99 per month
14. If you'd like to learn how to craft an elegant bedside table…
15. Woodworkers Guild Of America Premium, $4.99 per month
…And not just a bedside table — Woodworkers premium can teach you how to make a knife block, a pizza peel, a flag case, a round stool, a baseball bat, a barbecue cart… the list goes on and on.
16. If you need to fix your hog…
17. Fix My Hog Premium, $6.99 per month
Cause when your hog needs fixin' it's helpful to have an instructional video to will walk you through the necessary steps one-by-one.
- Golf legend Arnold Palmer has died at 87. Known as "The King," his unusual style and charisma changed the game.
- Monday night's presidential debate may be the last hope for environmental activists who want climate in the national conversation.
- US officials have determined al-Qaeda likely influenced suspected New York City bomber Ahmad Khan Rahami.

Historic Australian stamps hot at auction
- From: AAP
- November 15, 2012
THE sale of a historical Australian stamp collection has exceeded valuation estimates, fetching more than $3.3 million at auction in London.
The collection of exceptionally rare commonwealth stamps, started by Adelaide-born civil engineer William Morgan and continued by his businessman son Hugh Morgan, generated "furious" bidding over two days, auction house Spink reported.
Sold in more than 740 lots, with estimates ranging from STG100 to STG100,000, the sale of the Morgan collection was forecast to net more than STG2 million.
At the close of Wednesday's sale, Spink announced the stamps sold for a combined total of more than STG2.2 million ($A3.3 million).
Among the hottest items in the sale were two unfranked two-shilling stamps featuring an etched kangaroo over an outline of Australia.
Labelled "one of Australia's great philatelic rarities" by Spink, the pair of Australia Postage stamps sold for STG84,000, close to STG50,000 more than estimated.
The top lot at the sale was a single 10-shilling stamp featuring the same design - although missing the outline of Tasmania - in a brown buff shade, which sold for STG108,000, some STG38,000 above low estimates.
"My hope is that the buyers treasure these rare examples with the same enthusiasm and passion as Hugh Morgan and his father, who began the collection, did," said Spink stamp specialist, Nick Startup.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Jimbo Fisher certainly could have done without the national headlines and hot takes, but the 24-hour Jalen Ramsey saga ended amicably Monday. Ramsey was back at practice, and Fisher expressed some regret for how he handled Sunday's incident.
Now that it is over with all parties seemingly moved on, it's a situation that might have been for the better.
Throughout winter workouts and spring practice, Fisher raved about the leadership of Ramsey, a sophomore but one who started every game last season and was a Freshman All-American. When defensive players were asked who was filling the vocal void left by Timmy Jernigan, Lamarcus Joyner and Telvin Smith, they unanimously included Ramsey. The offense's flag bearer isn't up for debate -- it's Jameis Winston clearly -- but who was the defense going to look toward for direction in 2014?
Ramsey is one of only two sophomores on the team's player council, evidence of just how highly regarded he is on the team. Few players speak to the media more often than Ramsey, who is one of the best quotes on the team, not because he fills up the notebook but because when speaking to reporters, he's engaging and thoughtful.
On the field, against opponents and his teammates, Ramsey takes on a different persona, a necessary evil in this game. Between the white lines, Ramsey is a brash, confident trash talker. He dictates the personality of the unit. Kind of like Winston.
The takeaway from Sunday's ejection is two-fold. First, it gives Ramsey an opportunity to see that if he is going to be the leader of the defense on Saturdays, he needs to be the leader throughout the rest of the week. Scuffles are going to happen and tempers are going to flare, but if the aggression carries over to Saturday and Ramsey is tossed from a game, as Fisher said, it makes Florida State a completely different team.
On the other hand, Ramsey, already one of the country's elite defensive backs, is coachable and has never been an issue in the locker room. Those are the kinds of guys who should be able to have a little back and forth with the coaches from time to time. Ramsey's voice carries a little more weight.
Sunday could be one of those teaching moments for a player still adjusting to the leadership role, and by all accounts, Ramsey is one of the most well-liked players on the team. While the carryover from the weekend looks to be minimal, it could be one of the defining moments of fall camp.

WirelessDevNet.com Press Release
Underscoring the massive and still fast-growing mobile market in China and the Asia-Pacific region, Wi-Fi offload and roaming innovator Accuris Networks (http://www.accuris-networks.com/) has formed a strategic partnership with Autelan, (http://www.autelan.com/) the biggest Chinese-based Wi-Fi infrastructure provider. Accuris Networks will team with Autelan to bring seamless, secure Wi-Fi offload to Chinese mobile carriers such as China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom as well as carriers in the Asia-Pacific region and Africa. Carriers will benefit from Autelan's wireless access points and Accuris Networks' AccuROAM™ Wi-Fi offload platform because it enables any type of Wi-Fi access technology to work as a full extension of cellular, GSM or CDMA networks for billing, policy and authentication -- not just for use with data services but for voice and messaging also.
The partnership was formally announced in Beijing during the Enterprise Ireland Trade and Investment Mission to China led by Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Richard Bruton TD, Ireland; Dr. Bing Xiang, Dean of the Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business and executives from Accuris Networks and Autelan.
The creation of this new partnership was spurred by strong market growth in China, which is now the world's largest mobile phone market by revenue. According to a recent report from mobile operator association GSMA, China had 630 million unique mobile subscribers at the end of 2013, which is about 46% of the population. Mobile operators and the Chinese government have been making substantial investments in new infrastructure, which fuels subscriber expansion and demand for new technology.
Welcoming the announcement Minister Bruton said: "Increasing exports by Irish companies is at the very centre of the Government's Action Plan for Jobs, and fast-growing markets like China play a huge part in this. In the last year exports by Irish companies here grew by 23% - our aim now is to build on this performance by our innovative companies. Today's announcement by Accuris Networks, an innovative technology company based in Dublin, is a great example of the pioneering work being done by our great companies. I wish them every success with this project and look forward to working with them in the future".
"The expanding mobile market in China has paved the way for Autelan's interest in the AccuROAM technology," said Larry Quinn, executive chairman of Accuris Networks. "The AccuROAM platform gives subscribers automatic and secure access to Wi-Fi hotspots by using subscriber SIM credentials as the means of authentication. Accuris Networks is the only provider globally to provide this level of security and ease of access when connecting to Wi-Fi. Attaching to a hotspot is instant and in the case of some new Asian phones equipped for Hotspot 2.0, it isn't just automatic, it's lightning fast."
"We have a strong history of working with Accuris Networks," said Rockies Ma, Managing Director of Autelan for International Market. "Accuris Networks' AccuROAM platform is integrated and proven with Autelan's Wi-Fi access points, controllers and base stations and is already proving to be a valuable solution for carriers in burgeoning wireless markets, who need to provide fast, secure authentication, yet need to continue to bill and service customers no matter what network they are on."
About Accuris Networks
Accuris Networks is a leading provider of convergence, roaming and interworking solutions with respective device management. The AccuROAM platform is designed to provide mobile operators with a Wi-Fi offload and Wi-Fi roaming solution, which includes smartphone client software, access server/gateway technology and billing integration designed to provide a seamless and secure user experience for data, voice and messaging services. For more information, visit Accuris Networks at http://www.accuris-networks.com/.
About Autelan
Established in June 2007, Autelan has become a global leader in wireless and IP broadband carrier-grade network solutions.

WARRENVILLE, Ill. — Beginning this month, IC Corporation will raise its bus prices an estimated 4 to 5 percent.
Company officials said the rising costs of copper, platinum, aluminum and palladium facilitated the need to increase bus prices.
Michael Cancelliere, vice president and general manager of IC Corporation, said that while the company doesn't have ultimate control over the increase in worldwide commodity costs, it can offset some of the increase through its own manufacturing process.
"We continue making improvements to be as efficient as possible in our production facilities in Conway, Ark., and Tulsa, Okla., so that we don't pass the full effect of the commodity increases on to our customers," Cancelliere said. "Our pledge has been and will continue to be that IC Corporation will work aggressively to keep costs in line for our customers as much as possible."
A large percentage of a bus' material value consists of palladium and copper products, and the prices for these commodities have increased substantially — nearly 70 percent — over the last two years. Steel and aluminum prices have risen 10 percent and more than 30 percent, respectively.
The price of platinum, which is used in new 2007 emissions aftertreatment devices, has jumped recently as well.

by Janet Dailey
What happens when a beautiful pioneer woman is captured by Apaches, made into a slave/squaw, rescued by the U.S. Cavalry and returned to a fort in New Mexico Territory? In Dailey's new Wild West tale, her thirteenth novel, Hannah Wade gets a decidedly unfriendly homecoming. Her husband, in fact, wishes she'd killed herself before wickiupping-up with a brave, and the officers' wives treat her "like a dirty piece of candy." Luckily, handsome Captain Jake Cutter has a none-too-fastidious sweet tooth. The plot moves toward an end easily guessed from the start, with characters who are outlines rather than people. But Dailey didn't get to be the top-selling romance novelist in the U.S. by muddying things up with subtlety and character development. Anyway, who else offers readers a primer in elementary Apache these days? (Pocket Books, paper, $6.95)

Linebacker Jamar Williams tore his right anterior cruciate ligament and will be out for the season, coach Terry Bowden said during Thursday morning's practice.
Williams' loss is a big blow to a linebacking corps that was thin coming into the season and Williams, a junior, was expected step in and give the Zips consistency at the position.
"He was doing, so well. He was having a great preseason and was doing a great job," Bowden said. "We have great doctors. At a better age, he will be better than he is now. In the long run it will be better for us, but that's tough when you have that happen."
Still, in the here and now, it affects the Zips depth at linebacker, a position that took a big hit when Brian Wagner elected to graduate and leave the program with a year of eligibility left after last season.
Bowden is looking to a upper classman or freshman to come in and fill the newly created voice. In that respect Jatavis Brown, a freshman out of Florida, was an individual he mentioned specifically.
It's a situation that concerns him, but also one that he's dealt with before. He's operating from the assumption that opportunity tends to bring out the best in players.
"Someone will step up," he said. " A young freshman or an upperclassman will get an opportunity and someone will step up."
Zips fans are hoping he's right.
Cornerback limited
Cornerback Bill Alexander cannot have any contact for 2-6 weeks because of a broken thumb.
Practice changes
Two-a-days in full pads began with Thursday morning's practice, one that proved intense, but without the punches being thrown. That's certainly a good thing.
