Lagos State Commissioner for Economic Planning and Budget, Mr. Ben Akabueze, yesterday said the state's Internally Generated Revenue, IGR, averages a total of N20 billion monthly. The commissioner said the IGR rises and drops on monthly basis depending on the season and periods, saying the N20 billion figures was on the average.
He added that the state has a projected IGR of N316.578 out of its N499.605billion 2013 fiscal budget, saying it is more than the total budget of some Niger Delta states. He made the revelation at the ongoing ministerial press briefing to herald the sixth anniversary in office of Governor Babatunde Fashola's administration in the state.
His words: "IGR trickles in everyday across different agencies of the state, one month it could be up, the next month it could be down depending on seasonal considerations and all of that, at the end, we will have an aggregate for the year and you could average it out but as today it is about N20 billion monthly."
He disclosed that the state is adopting measures, including the expansion of the tax net to cover more taxable persons living and doing business in Lagos in order to realise the IGR target.
Akabueze debunked any pan to introduce any new tax, but would assured that the state would leverage on existing taxes as approved and empowered by the law of the federation, to realise the objectives of this year's budget.

Intense and epic!
Damien Chazelle has landed a knockout blow in extremity with his epic jazz project. Whiplash is a story of a young drummer with a potential to stand amongst the greats and an abusive instructor who seeks perfection at every note to help his students achieve the greatness.
The casting couldn't have been more perfect. Both Teller and Simmons fit the portrait of their characters superbly. Simmons is an exceptional actor. He dons the abusive and mean demeanour quite naturally and carries it throughout the flick, reeking of perversion, cruelty and foul-mouthed barbarism. Going inhumane to create a musical virtuoso was something Simmons was trying to achieve. Teller, an equally great actor leaves no stone unturned to play the obsessive drummer, who fumes with confidence and rage when tipped over the breaking point. You see him burn in wrath and conviction when he is trying to prove himself.
Direction is enthralling. The way camera moves quickly capturing every gesture of the instructor and the protagonist and then landing on every instrument in the orchestra was a delight to watch. Beats in the background subtly wrapping up New York buildings show exceptional direction skills of Chazelle. Editing was outstanding. There wasn't a moment of ennui in the entire movie.
There are excellent dramatic scenes in the movie that simply goes on to show how Teller has significantly evolved in the acting department. Watch out for the bit when he gets rammed by a truck and still goes on to play. Also when he plays so fiercely that he bleeds and jabs the drum in resentment.
The climax of the movie would literally stop your breath. My hands were moving along with Andrew's sticks as if I was drumming it. One of the best drums you would ever listen to.
Wasn't a big jazz fan. This movie has transformed the way I looked at it. Highly recommended quality cinema ladies and gentlemen!

Shirley had no interest in dating—not just online dating but the 61-year-old paralegal living in the Houston area was not looking to marry again after her first husband passed away. But she had a doctor who wouldn't let up, asking her several times—over a period of years—if she was dating anyone.
Finally, Shirley decided to join an online site. "It gave me something to offer the doctor, whom I suspected felt I was not advancing past the grieving stage," she said.
The first site she tried was a secular one and it didn't meet her taste or values. The ad for CatholicMatch on the back of her parish bulletin caught her eye and she decided to give it six months. "If anything I knew I could meet interesting friends who shared my widowhood," she said, recalling her thoughts at the time.
Six months had nearly come and gone and there was no kindling romance in the works. That was fine with Shirley. "I had decided this would suffice as my attempt to move on," she candidly admitted. But one week before the subscription lapsed she got a message from a businessman, five years older than she and also in the Houston area. "Jim contacted me saying we appeared to be a 100% match," Shirley recalled.
Jim and Shirley first met face-to-face at a CatholicMatch event and then begin getting together for dates that always began with Mass. She was doing her level best not to fall in love again—"I only intended to marry once in my life," she pointed out. But she also couldn't help but notice "Jim was such a gentleman… gentle, compassionate, and kind."
Their dates had a simple quality to them that brought out a true romantic feeling. "We walked on The Strand and the beach in Galveston; strolled through the Kemah Boardwalk," Shirley told CatholicMatch. And they continued to attend Mass together, taking turns attending each other's parishes.
But it wasn't these dates that made the biggest impression on Shirley. It was what Jim did for others. He brought the Eucharist to homebound parishioners, including a married couple with Alzheimer's and dementia. "I watched him interacting with these people in the most loving way. He spoke to them as though there wasn't any disability…I couldn't help but fall in love with someone who embodied all the good qualities this world has to offer."
A process that had begun mainly so Shirley could return to her doctor to in say "This is what I've done, I've moved on" and ensure that the doctor and others in her family could leave her alone, was drawing her deeper into love.
She had mentioned to Jim a song she liked, "Tell It Like It Is", by Aaron Neville. He went out of his way to buy the song, and they danced to it in front of the fireplace at a home he'd bought and renovated. On her next visit, they danced their again and this time he proposed marriage. Jim assured Shirley he didn't need an answer then, and he didn't get one.
Their next time together was a trip to a cabin, and Jim assured Shirley he had no plans to broach the topic again. "Since this was a Leap Year it should be me who should ask him for his hand in marriage," she recalled.
The cabin trip was a test to see how they would respond to several days with each other and Shirley decided that indeed it was time. She "proposed" back to Jim, her way of delivering what she called a "resounding, affirmative yes."
When Shirley lost her husband it was more than just not wanting to date again. She really didn't know who she was or what she would be again. God brought her through it, and to a good man who shared her not just her faith, but her values and appreciation of the simple things.
The wedding took place on St. Patrick's Day and they have started building a new life together, Their home is the one Jim renovated and where they first danced to Aaron Neville. It was a house Jim originally intended to sell as an investment, but instead became the foundation of a new life.
Shirley retired from full-time work, though she still helps her daughter, who is an attorney, with paralegal work. She's also worked at learning Jim's business from his daughter.
Life is full of blessings for Jim and Shirley. They let God lead them and found the way to a new beginning.

I turned my great escape into art
As a child, Frank Meisler fled the Nazis on a kindertransport train. His sculptures of the journey came from gut feeling, he tells Debby Elley
Sculptor Frank Meisler
The third and final phase of sculptor Frank Meisler's project to commemorate the most significant journey of his life has just been completed with the unveiling of a bronze monument in the Polish city of Gdansk.
The life-size piece, titled Kindertransport — The Departure, is located at the city's railway station and depicts a group of five hopeful Jewish children preparing to leave.
This was the exact place from which, in 1939, the 10-year-old Gdansk-born Meisler departed with 14 other Jewish children. In total, four Kindertransport journeys were made from city — Meisler's was the last and saved his life. The day he left, German soldiers had already infiltrated what was then the Free City of Danzig. Days later, his parents were deported and Meisler never saw them again — they were taken to Auschwitz and died there.
The young Meisler continued his journey to Berlin, from where he travelled to London and was met at Liverpool Street Station by two maternal aunts, who subsequently raised him. "The last thing my father said to me was, make something of yourself. I promised my father at our last meeting in Danzig that I would go to university," he recalls.
He kept his promise and obtained a degree in architecture, followed by a period working under Sir Frederick Gibbons on substantial projects including Heathrow, Liverpool's Anglican Cathedral and the mosque at Regent's Park.
Trained during the post-war period at what he dubs a "very dry and arid time" for architecture, he relocated to Israel in the early 1960s and started sculpture as a hobby before changing professions for good.
Today, he enjoys a global reputation as a sculptor, with his work presented as state gifts to world leaders — five US presidents and former British PM Margaret Thatcher among them.
His three-part Kindertransport project came about after he was commissioned to make a Kindertransport-themed piece for Liverpool Street Station. The resulting monument was unveiled by Prince Charles in 2006 and depicts a group of pensive Jewish children standing with luggage on railway tracks.
The Kindertransport sculpture in Gdansk, one of three across Europe
"What I wanted to do was reconstruct in a railway station, where people are rushing to and fro all the time and have no time for anything except their agenda — a picture of what it was like for a group of children to come out from wherever they came and just confront a moment of transition," he says. "We arrived on the train as children. When we stepped out we were adults, because we had then been handed the responsibility for our own lives."
After the London statue was unveiled, he started discussing plans for a second commemorative piece at his departure point in Berlin. On November 30 last year, 70 years to the day when the first Kindertransport to Britain began, commuters at Friedrichstrasse Station witnessed the unveiling of his piece Trains to Life and Trains to Death. It depicts a boy and girl with luggage, moving with purpose towards the train that would save them. They stand with their backs to a group of five other children whose fate was very different.
"You cannot really recreate a sculpture showing the departure of the children, rather than the arrival as we did in London, without acknowledging that 1.6 million children didn't make it," says the artist.
The Gdansk monument was one of many projects he has worked on with long-time associate Arie Ovadia.
Meisler admits the works gave him sleepless nights. "These sculptures had more resonance with me than other things I've done. The other ones you do with your heart and you do with your head. These ones I did with my, as they say in Yiddish, kishkes — with my guts."

In an aquarium or pond, successful breeding largely depends on nutrition and environmental conditions that are sometimes very specific. In the wild, these conditions might be seasonal changes, water conditions, the amount of daylight, and the availability of specific food sources. The amount of daylight is generally less important in tropical species, because hours of sunlight in tropical regions nearer the equator stay fairly constant year round. Temperate or coldwater fish, such as goldfish and koi, may be more affected by shorter and longer days of the seasons further north or south. Certain conditions often trigger a particular species to breed. For instance, during the wet season in the tropics, rains may wash extra nutrients into the swollen rivers, leading to a greater abundance of available food and plants, which can be ideal breeding conditions for fish.
In aquarium and pond fish, healthy breeding stock must be of spawning age. You will need to research the nutritional and environmental needs of the particular species you want to breed. These conditions are almost as varied as the number of fish species (see Fish: Types of Fish Reproduction). Proper substrate, cover, temperature, pH, live foods, lighting, and number of fish are all likely considerations.

Determining the sex of a fish can be difficult or easy, depending on whether physical differences are visible. Males of some species may be larger and showier than females. Information on how to sex a particular species may be obtained from your veterinarian, books, hobby magazines, the Internet, and other sources.
Fish reproduce by bearing live young or by laying eggs. Livebearers give birth to fully formed and functional young, called fry. The eggs are fertilized and hatched within the female. Most livebearers have fewer and larger fry than egg layers, because the fry need to be more developed and large enough to fend for themselves after birth. Most species of livebearers kept in home aquariums are generally easy to breed. Identifying sexes is usually easy as well. Males are generally larger and have larger, longer, more ornate and colorful fins than females. For instance, only male swordtails have the "sword" on their tails, and male guppies have larger, more flowing tails that are brightly colored.
Fry should be separated from adults, because the adults (including the parents) tend to eat them. Small live or frozen food and crushed flakes are good for feeding fry. Species of freshwater livebearers include mollies, platys, swordtails, and guppies from the Americas, and the 20 or so halfbeak species from Asia.
Egg layers spawn by several means, including egg scattering, egg depositing, egg burying, nest building, and mouthbrooding. In all cases, eggs are laid and fertilized outside the body. Nest-builders and mouthbrooders are generally good parents, protecting the eggs and fry from aggressors. Many cichlid species, such as freshwater angelfish, are nest-builders.
Egg scatterers, egg depositors, and egg buriers may or may not defend the eggs and fry. Usually, the fry need to be separated from the adults to prevent the larger fish from eating them. Egg-scatterer females lay their sticky eggs in various places within a certain area (often in areas that provide some sort of cover), while others set nonsticky eggs adrift in open water. Egg depositors pick one general spot to lay sticky eggs, usually on the bottom substrate and sometimes on the aquarium glass. In saltwater, clownfish are depositors, guard their eggs and fry, and are the most likely species to be bred by hobbyists. Egg buriers either dive into soft substrate, or the male pushes the female into the soft substrate to lay. The male then dives in to fertilize the eggs. In a tank breeding environment, peat moss is often a good choice for the substrate.
Usually, fry should be separated from the adult fish and placed in a nursery environment. Mouthbrooders will eventually expel the fry, even though the fry are still quite vulnerable. Removing fry from outdoor ponds can be difficult. Ideally, a separate, smaller aquarium should be set up to receive them. Conditions should generally be kept much as they are in the main aquarium or pond. There should be some kind of cover for the fry, so they are safe, secure, and free from stress. The aquarium should be filtered, but the pump should not be so powerful that it sucks in the fry. Several commercial baby fish foods are available. Alternatively, finely crushed flake and tiny live or frozen foods can be fed.
Another option is to purchase a nursery. Nurseries are made of a box frame with a fine mesh netting for the walls and floor, or plastic grids for the same purpose. They are usually built to hang from the top lip of the aquarium into the water. The mesh or grid prevents the fry from escaping, while keeping them safe from the larger fish. The open tops allow access for feeding and other purposes.

The 2013 Kingstone Press Championships Finals Day will be staged at the superbly-appointed Leigh Sports Village on Sunday September 29.
The deciding weekend of the 2013 season will once again have a celebratory feel with three matches - the Rugby League Challenge Trophy final (12.00pm), the Kingstone Press Championship One play-off final (2.30) and the title-deciding Kingstone Press Championship Grand Final (5.00pm) – taking place at the 12,000-capacity venue.
It will be the first time the Championships Finals Day has been held at Leigh Sports Village, which will also host a Rugby League World Cup 2013 fixture in November between the Cook Islands and Tonga, who will be based at the stadium throughout the competition, and brings to an end a five-year relationship with previous host venue, The Halliwell Jones Stadium, Warrington.
"The Championships Finals Day has proven to be a day of great drama and excitement over recent seasons and I'm sure Leigh Sports Village will provide the perfect setting for more extraordinary Rugby League action in 2013," said RFL Chief Operating Officer Ralph Rimmer.
"Leigh Sports Village is one of the top Rugby League stadiums in the country and has a proud tradition of hosting top-class events, including England internationals and Gillette Four Nations games.
"I look forward to witnessing an action-packed day of finals unfold at Leigh in front of a bumper crowd when the season comes to a climax this September."
Gordon Johncox, managing director of Championship title sponsors Kingstone Press, said: "We have a great sense of excitement at Kingstone Press about the 2013 Championships Finals Day and we are all looking forward to what I am sure will be a sporting day to remember.
"We visited Leigh Sports Village last week when we met the Championships clubs for the first time and we were treated to a fantastic welcome. We are working with the RFL and the clubs to ensure that the fans attending the Kingstone Press Championship Finals Day will have a day of great excitement and top class Rugby League."
Simon Toon, Chief Executive of Leigh Sports Village said: "Leigh Sports Village is delighted to have been chosen as the new venue for the Kingstone Press Championships Finals Day. We are looking forward to continuing our partnership with The RFL following the success of the international matches held at the Sports Village.
"The competition has the full support of Wigan Council as well as the professional clubs in the Borough: Leigh Centurions and Wigan Warriors, and Swinton Lions who currently play their fixtures at the Sports Village. Leigh
Sports Village is located in one of the heartlands of the Rugby League community who, I am sure, will give the competition their full support."
Trevor Barton MBE, CEO of Leigh Centurions said: "This is fantastic news for Leigh Sports Village and our wider community. With a Desso pitch, hi-definition lighting, four changing rooms and top class sports facilities, Leigh Sports Village is perfectly designed for this type of event and can easily accommodate three games one after the other and I know that all Leigh fans will warmly welcome every team that gets through to the Finals Day."
Today's development follows on from the announcement that The Shay in Halifax will host the 2013 Northern Rail Finals Day in July, when the Northern Rail Cup and the new Northern Rail Bowl will provide another highlight of an historic Championships season.
The 2013 season sees 14 clubs contest an expanding Kingstone Press Championship and an exciting new-look Kingstone Press Championship One which features three new clubs in Hemel Stags, University of Gloucestershire All Golds and Oxford.
Ticket prices and availability for the Kingstone Press Championships Finals Day at Leigh Sports Village on Sunday September 29 will be announced shortly.

Now that the UK has recuperated after the frivolities of New Year, many have their sights fixed firmly on the prospect of a sunny summer holiday. Whether your heart's set on a life-changing Caribbean getaway or an action-packed family holiday in Spain, anyone in the travel industry will tell you that now is the best time to book- and it's the same story for UK cottage holidays. Here at Sykes, we're experiencing our busiest January to date, with hundreds of customers a day reserving their favourite holiday home for the summer. But does it really pay to book in advance? We take a look at the benefits of booking a cottage holiday for summer 2014 early.
What are the advantages of booking a cottage holiday in January?
It's a common predicament: should I book now or wait for the possibility of a last minute bargain? Here at Sykes, we say play it safe and book today. Waiting for a last minute deal is always a gamble, especially if you've got a specific location, price bracket or property in mind. Not convinced? We've listed a few more benefits of booking early below:
- Choose from the cream of the cottage crop. That's right, book early and you stand a much better chance of finding your perfect holiday cottage before all the best ones are snapped up. From the Cornish Coast to the banks of Lake Windermere, the best cottages in the best areas almost always book up early in the year.
- Get the dates YOU want. If you already know when you want to go away, then don't wait around or you risk missing out. This is especially important if you're planning to go away at peak times such as the Easter and summer school holidays. Essentially, wait for a last minute deal and you'll be picking through the date dregs…
- You'll have longer to save for your holiday. Yes, with our stress-free payment plan, you'll have until 6 weeks before your holiday to pay us the outstanding amount, which means you can reserve your perfect summer getaway without breaking the bank. Leave it late (within 6 weeks before the start date of your holiday) however, and we require the full amount at the time of booking!
- You'll have something driving you onward through the chilly winter months. There's nothing more motivating than the prospect of a lovely summer's break and booking in advance means you'll have plenty of time to plan and research exactly what you want to do during your holiday.
How much will I have to pay now?
Book now for your 2014 summer holiday and we only require a deposit of 30% of the overall cost of the booking, as well as the booking fee. That gives you plenty of time to save the pennies needed to cover the overall cost of your break, as well as a few extra paydays to help you set aside your spending money.
But what about last minute breaks?
Do you consider yourself a spontaneous individual with nerves of steel? If so, it might be worth taking a gamble and opting for a last minute break. Yes, waiting can be terrifying, but with a little luck and a whole lot of guts, you could save up to 35% of the weekly cost of your summer holiday. Our last minute breaks are ideal for those who are completely flexible on when and where they go on holiday. Just remember, nothing is guaranteed and waiting to book can often lead to disappointment and heartache.
A top tip from our expert
To get the lowdown on booking a cottage for summer 2014, we asked our reservations expert Sally Holmes to give our readers a top tip on when's best to book. Sally is an expert at all things reservation related, having helped thousands of people find their dream cottage during her seven year stint at Sykes; this is what she had to say:
"When you're contacting us to plan your holiday, try to provide us with as much information as possible. This will help us match you with your dream cottage quickly and efficiently to ensure that you don't miss out. Typically, the things we need to know include your preferred destination, party size and whether you require a pet friendly cottage."
So there you have it, a comprehensive guide to booking your 2014 summer holiday. Whether you're reaching for the phone as we speak or waiting 'til June, we look forward to planning your perfect cottage holiday!

Engage in a meditation practice with the experts in mindfulness techniques.
Floating Meditation
Enjoy the pleasure of being suspended from the ceiling in a nurturing yoga hammock while your mind is gently guided into a relaxed state. Experience the calming benefits of induced meditation while you are gently rocked to the soothing vibrations of crystal bowls. Release your mind's stress, tension or worry while you "float" weightlessly in a silk hammock.
"Words are inadequate to express the uniquely nurturing experience I had during the Floating Meditation. The multi-sensory feelings of being securely snugged in a silk wrap from head to toe, suspended in the air, slowly rocking, and crystal bowls singing combine into something more profound than the parts alone. It is though you are in a cocoon of total support to allow peace to flow into your entire being." - Susan B., Longmont, Colorado

I am going to use (x-c) instead of alpha. OK?
Let's use the remainder theorem.
For some quotient q(x).
If P(c)=0, the P(x)=(x-c)q(x); that is, x-c is a factor of P(x).
Also, if x-c is a factor of P(x), then the remainder when we divide P(x) by
x-c must be 0. Therefore, by the remainder theorem P(c)=0.
Is that what you were getting at?. Unless you want to be a purist and prove the remainder theorem as well.
Is that want you wanna do?.

Continues to capture market share.
By delivering high-tech products with a focus on performance, reliability and environmental characteristics, and by satisfying customer demands for efficient service solutions, Volvo Penta has become a leading global supplier with one of the strongest brands in the industry.
With approximately 5,000 dealers in 130 countries, Volvo Penta has a unique, strong global presence.
With technical solutions such as the IPS system, Volvo Penta generates competitive advantages for leading global boat manufacturers such as Bavaria, Beneteau/Jeanneau, Cranchi, Sessa Marine, Azimut, Tiara, Four Winns, Riviera and Intermarine.
Using the IPS system, installation time can be reduced by up to 75% compared with a traditional straight shaft, resulting in more efficient production. At the same time, boat builders can offer end-users a quieter, cleaner boat with up to 30% lower fuel consumption – and one with significantly better performance and maneuvering characteristics.
With such world-unique innovations as Aquamatic sterndrive and Duoprop counter-rotating propellers, Volvo Penta created and through the decades further developed the business segment for marine diesel engines with sterndrives.
Volvo Penta's market positions in this segment were strengthened further in 2007 through the launch of the new top-end D4-300 and D6-370 models. These engines combine performance with unique environmental and comfort features and contributed to strengthened competitive advantages for such world-leading boat builders as Fairline, Sunseeker and Princess.
Volvo Penta contributed significant economies of scale to the Volvo Group's diesel engine production, primarily through sales of industrial engines, which in recent years have risen sharply. During 2007, Volvo Penta sold slightly more than 26,000 marine and industrial engines based on the Group's diesel engine platforms.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (April 9, 2013) — Christian's Library Press and the Acton Institute have published Rooted & Grounded: the Church is Organism and Institution, an English translation of Abraham Kuyper's 1870 sermon at the Nieuwe Kerk in Amsterdam.
John Halsey Wood Fr., editor of a forthcoming Abraham Kuyper Church Anthology says this of Kuyper's sermon:
Abraham Kuyper preached his sermon 'Rooted and Grounded' at a time when the ground was shifting under the feet of the churches in the West. His sermon was, of course, not a comprehensive theological account, but he nonetheless provided in short compass an account of the church that answered the chief questions raised by modern society: What is the church? and What is its position in the emerging society?
Abraham Kuyper (1837-1920) is a significant figure in the history of the Netherlands and modern Protestant theology. A prolific intellectual, he founded a political party and a university, and served as the prime minister of the Netherlands (1901-1905). His enduring passion was to develop a theology for the general public and was seen in his extensive elaboration of the doctrine of common grace.
This 45 page book is available as a soft cover from clpress.com [1] for $4.95 or as an eBook from Amazon [2] for $1.99.
Founded in 1979 by Gerard Berghoef and Lester DeKoster, Christian's Library Press has been committed to publishing influential texts on church leadership, the vocation of work, and stewardship for more than 30 years. During that time Berghoef and DeKoster wrote significant works including The Deacons Handbook, The Elders Handbook, and God's Yardstick, which still are in demand today. After the death of Lester DeKoster in 2009, the imprint is now administered by the Acton Institute for the Study of Religion & Liberty.

The cable news networks are following breaking news of a bomb scare and hostage situation at the Hillary Clinton campaign office in Rochester, New Hampshire. Boston affiliates have dispatched choppers over the scene while Fox News's Carl Cameron is reporting live from the passenger seat of one of FNC's new campaign coverage vehicles.
Cameron and his crew are on the way to Rochester, NH to cover the story. And perhaps remembering he was on TV and therefore setting an example for viewers, Cameron buckled his seat belt mid-report, prompting anchor Megyn Kelly to remark, "buckle up buddy."

Time node in 2.6
I was trying a osl shader. For the animation i would like to change the material over time. In the documentation on the wiki also for 2.6 there is mention of a time node. If I look in the node editor add->input not such node. Any ideas. [/img]

Ah got the solution. You can just right click the field you want to animate in the node editor and insert a keyframe. Like everywhere else . So simple I did not think of it. No time node necessary. Maybe consider giving the documentation an update.

'By the Grace of God,' by Jean Potter
December 8, 2011 —
LORDS VALLEY, PA — "By the Grace of God" is Jean Potter's story about the traumatic events of 9/11 and the extraordinary effect it had on her and her husband Dan. Jean was working in the North Tower at the time of the incident, and Dan served as a New York City firefighter and was a first responder to the scene. The book covers the impact of the event: having to cope with the effects of post traumatic stress disorder; moving because they could no longer live in a home haunted by three thousand ghosts; giving up their jobs and leaving the city they had grown to love.
To help those still affected by the 9/11 attacks, Jean is donating a portion of the proceeds from her book sales to the Wounded Warrior Project and the FealGood Foundation. The book can be found at amazon.com, Barnes & Noble and other book outlets.

Opalesque Industry Update John Burbank, the Founder of San Francisco-based hedge fund firm Passport Capital LLC is betting an estimated $231m or about 11% of the assets of his companys $2.1bn flagship fund Global Strategy, into new Saudi portfolios. Burbank is particularly interested in publicly-traded petrochemical companies, banks, construction firms, and even health-care providers.
According to a Bloomberg report, Burbank is actually seeing huge potentials from the current political turmoil in the Middle East and North Africa, as well as the dip in the prices of oil, metals, and other raw materials.
In his assessment, Burbank is confident the ongoing political upheaval in the Middle East and North Africa will not spread to Saudi Arabia and that the monarchys reign is well positioned to survive negative criticisms over its decision to aid Bahrain in quelling an uprising, and its support of rebels causes in Libya and Syria.
He was quoted as saying, The crisis isnt affecting the long-term reality that this is where the oil is. We want exposure to the Saudi economy because the prices are very cheap and theres going to be a lot of growth and higher returns on capital, and thats something thats likely to play out over a number of years.
According to the 47-year-old hedge fund manager, oil prices will stabilize and the decision of the Saudi Kingdom to open its economy to foreign investors, make it the time to plow into the countrys petroleum-rich economy.
Looking ahead, Burbank is still confident that emerging economies will be the global growth driver. He said that as the emerging markets continue to develop its economies, there is a huge opportunity that little-known raw material producers will be converted into money machines in the future.

"I have such a hard time flying commercial. I always want to—it's cheaper, it's easier—but there can be 300 perfectly lovely people at the gate and one crazy person who ruins it for everyone, so flying private is great because I don't have to worry. "

Google to launch open-source Chrome OS this year
Google is developing an open-source operating system targeted at Internet-centric computers such as netbooks and will release it later this year, the company said Wednesday.
Google is developing an open-source operating system targeted at Internet-centric computers such as netbooks and will release it later this year, the company said Wednesday.
Sony today took the first step into the netbook market, introducing the Vaio W line of mini laptops.
Just more than a year after it launches, Windows 7 will account for nearly half of all the client operating systems Microsoft ships to corporate users, according to forecasts by IDC.
Sony will begin selling its first netbook computer next month and in doing so enter the only sector of the PC market showing significant growth.
After being hampered by slow adoption, laptops with quick-boot capabilities may soon be upgraded with new features that could make them attractive to users.
Despite Advanced Micro Devices' historical stance that it has no interest in the netbook space, PC makers continue to build the chip maker's processors into low-cost PCs.
Microsoft will finish Windows 7 a week from today and declare the operating system ready for "release to manufacturing," several Web sites have reported.
Archos has announced that its Windows touchscreen tablet PC - the Archos 9 - will hit the UK this autumn for £450.
Demand for the next generation DRAM chip, DDR3 (double data rate, third generation), has spiked recently as systems makers turn to it for increased power efficiency and performance.
Microsoft will offer a multi-license "family pack" for Windows 7, according to a pair of bloggers who cite details in the end-user licensing agreement (EULA) of a recently-leaked build.
Consumers running Windows Vista Ultimate, who have blasted Microsoft for breaking promises to deliver a host of extras, are now knocking the company's upgrade plans and discount pricing for Windows 7.
Dell and Hewlett-Packard (HP) were criticized by Greenpeace for not implementing their product recycling services properly in India.
Greenpeace International on Wednesday criticized some major PC makers for backtracking on commitments to reduce hazardous substances in hardware.
Microsoft's Windows 7 Beta will start to spontaneously reboot every two hours beginning on Wednesday, the company has warned users.
Mobile carriers may start giving away netbooks for free, and Linux-based application stores could help them profit by doing it, the head of a Linux advocacy group told Chinese companies on Monday.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

After our classrooms are set up, some of us may find that our gaping windows - although we love the light - sometimes provide too many distractions for our students. The solution? A Learning Mural!
So, I have to admit, it's not my original idea. But it's an idea I'd love to share with all of you. Tempera paint on the window works fantastic! No need to go to the store and buy the expensive window paint, this works fabulous! Clean up might be a bit tricky, but for student engagement it's worth it! I have to thank my good friend Amanda Gonzales for this idea. She has inspired many teachers to do their windows in two of our district's schools. As the word spreads, I'm sure more will follow!
Here's the gist: paint your window with some academic skill that students need to know. Some ideas are: different colored bubbles with antonyms and synonyms; a "synonym skyscraper"; an image from the unit you are working on; antonym alley, etc.
Now, there's some of us who don't have windows...so, create the next best thing: a poster mural that looks like a window with the same skill.
I know that many of us do not have the time to paint these murals, however, I must say they are very therapeutic and really allow you to express your creativity!
Can wait to see your posts!
Thanx for sharing.
Try using an overhead projector and place a sheet on other side to see image. You can add favorite characters and change out more often.
I had an elementary teacher (5th grade) that did this 30 years ago! She was the only one in the school who painted her windows. I remember the summer before we entered her class. All my friends wanted to be in the "cool" class. LOL Great idea!
I have decided to enjoy the distractions of wildlife outside our window in the school garden. After the kids have been back a month, only the deer come by occasionaly. Last year we saw a red fox and several California Quail in the first month of school. But after that, we may get to work on this idea.
In the past I have mounted student artwork on the windows, tissue paper "stained glass" projects look particularly nice, or fall leaves pressed between waxed paper sheets.
What a great idea! I'm looking forward to seeing more of your wonderful ideas.
Thanks for the comment! Let me know if you have any ideas to share! :)
Great idea! I think I may have to apply it to the windows at my apt.
I think that's a fabulous idea!
Thanks for showcasing my therapy! I love it!! After cleaning your windows this weekend it actually wasn't that hard to get off. I can't wait to see what we do next.
Thanks for this post! I love paint and using it in any way! Just add a few drops of dish soap to the paint and it will come off (when you are ready) a little easier. ;)
Thanks Jennifer!

I will be a first year vet student and I am looking for two roommates for a three-bedroom and two-bathroom house. It will be available in August. It is a very nice house, only 9 years old, has a two car garage, and a fenced backyard. Washer/dryer and dishwasher are included. I didn't know if you wanted a place by yourself, or if you would consider my house. Monthly rent will be $420 + 1/3 of utilities. If you want more information feel free to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com

There are currently three apartment complexes that have one bedroom apartments that are less than five miles from campus and fit your price range. If you look at the map option you can see where the apartments are relative to the campus. If you expand your range to $700, you can find a few more apartments that are very close to campus and may be a little nicer than the ones that are under $500. Here is the link to the three apartments that fit your original criteria: http://www.myapartmentmap.com/list/colleges/ks/...
You can also find apartments that are within your price range that are a little further away from campus if you do not like the three that are listed. You will need to contact the realtor of the apartment to see if your desired move in date is acceptable.
Good luck

Today is my third blogoversary. :) I have had a blast these last three years and learned a great deal from my fellow bloggers.
I have interviewed some amazing authors, participated in blog tours and blog hops, and reviewed hundreds of amazing books.
My wishlist has also tripled and my tbr shelves (yes, shelves) groan under the weight of books waiting to be picked up and read. :)
Counting this one - I have posted 953 posts. No too shabby for three years worth of blogging. :) If I do say so myself.
So grab a glass of wine and your current read, sit back and relax. Here's to many more years of blogging fun.

""Your shout mate"" Top 5 Page for this destination Cairns Local Custom Tip by tropicrd
Cairns Local Customs: 12 reviews and 17 photos
Be aware that it is 'normal' for Australians to get with a group of friends and 'shout' each other a drink. It is called 'a round' and when it is your turn you buy the drinks for whoever is in the group.
Some people may invite you to join them in 'a round' and if you accept you are then expected to wait until it's your turn to 'shout a round'you will hear "Your shout mate"
It can end up being an expensive 'round'as some of the group may be drinking spirits etc...so be aware before you say yes.
Most people prefer to stay in a small group so they can keep a tab on who's shout it is.
So don't be conned into joining just for the sake of of wanting to fit in or "shouting when you know it isn't your turn.----especially in a big group when someone may leave before it's their 'shout' and has had a bunch of 'free' drinks-- 'Shout' if you want to but be mindful of a con.

Cognitive Skills
Response Time
Response Time is the ability to perceive and process a simple stimulus and respond to it. All actions are affected by our processing speed. Longer response time means poorer execution of various actions, even simple ones. For example, when driving, you may suddenly need to step on the brakes to avoid a collision.
Every millisecond of response time is crucial. For this reason, regular practice, on the level of milliseconds, is of utmost importance.
Example: While driving, the car in front of you brakes suddenly. To avoid a collision, you need to RESPOND QUICKLY by slamming on the brakes.

Dehradun: Fresh reports claimed that nearly three people were killed due to cloudburst in Tehri's Deyprayag area. The incident occurred at around 6.30 am in which several houses were damaged and many others were injured.
The Army, the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) and various other agencies, which suspended the rescue operation yesterday due to inclement weather, will try to reach out to those who still need help.
According to reports, Indian Navy's elite Marine Commandos will be deployed in Rudraprayag to help in search and rescue operations.
Twelve naval divers are heading to Rishikesh to look for bodies. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have been deployed to retrieve bodies from inaccessible areas.
Most of the tourists stranded in the Sangla valley, Pooh and Nako area of the Kinnaur district were rescued by the security forces and taken to safer places. However, there are still over 9,000 people stranded across the state.
Around 430 people were airlifted from the Harsil-Gangotri axis area. IAF sorties were suspended but foot-evacuations of those stranded continued.
With the rains hitting much of the air operations, soldiers took to rescuing the stranded men, women and children by foot in a coordinated operation involving the state and central authorities.
Fresh landslides occurred on the key road linking Rishikesh and Rudraprayag, hitting rescue efforts. But the route ahead to Joshimath was open.
Officials said some 1,400 people awaited evacuation at Harsil, 50 at Dharali and 60 at Jhala in Uttarkashi and another 5,000 at Badrinath, near the worst-hit area.
A massive cloudburst near the revered Kedarnath shrine and the humongous floods that followed ravaged the hills of Uttarakhand over 10 days ago, causing a terrible calamity.
With vast stretches of mountain roads cut off, thousands of locals as well as pilgrims got stranded in various hills.
Monday's inclement weather forced the Army to continue rescue operations on the route from Badrinath to Joshimath and from Harsil to Uttarkashi.
In Badrinath, 281 people were moved by land late Sunday after the construction of a Burma bridge across the swollen Alaknanda. The army set up a heli bridge at Lam Bagar in addition to a foot bridge.
Two army and three civil helicopters ferried people from Badrinath. Eight hundred were moved towards Joshimath, both by air and on foot.
In Uttarkashi, MI-17 helicopters made 16 sorties to take out 402 people from Harsil. Another 683 people reached Uttarkashi by foot.
Knowing that food is in short supply, the Army has stocked food, water and medicines at Sukhi and Gagnani. Food was distributed at Govindghat and Joshimath.
In the Kedarnath area, special troops from the mountaineering unit continued to look for survivors between Jungle Chatti and Rama Bara areas.
More rains have been forecast in the coming days. On Monday, rains battered many areas including Dehradun, Chamoli and Paudi where relief operations have been halted.
A cloudburst in Malan village in Paudi has devastated many houses though no casualties have been reported.
The government says 557 bodies have been found. Some officials and rescuers have said the fatalities may run into hundreds, if not thousands.
The rains have cut off communication to Tilwada and Gaurikund, where more than 500 people are stuck. Efforts to evacuate them were aborted due to heavy rains.
Rains are also lashing Guptkashi, Harsil and Badrinath – places where thousands are still stranded. Water levels have again risen in the Alaknanda and Mandakini rivers.
In New Delhi, aid agency 'Save the Children' said thousands of children and women stuck in Uttarakhand needed immediate medical attention and food.
Help is pouring into Uttarakhand from all over the country.
In New Delhi, Congress president Sonia Gandhi flagged off trucks carrying food, medicines, clothes and blankets.
In Himachal Pradesh' Dharamsala, hundreds of Tibetan exiles offered prayers for those who died in that state and Uttarakhand.

TUESDAY, April 30 (HealthDay News) -- Supplementing healthy, term, breastfed newborns with 1,600 international units (IU) of vitamin D daily raises plasma levels to the higher target level recommended by some pediatric societies after three months, while lower dosages can raise plasma levels to the lower target level recommended by the Institute of Medicine, according to a study published in the May 1 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, a theme issue on child health.
Sina Gallo, R.D., M.Sc., from McGill University in Montreal, and colleagues randomly assigned 132 healthy, term, breastfed 1-month-old infants to 400; 800; 1,200; or 1,600 IU/day oral cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) supplements and measured subsequent plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) concentrations up to 12 months later.
After three months, the researchers found a dose-dependent relationship between dosage and 25(OH)D concentration, with only 55 percent of infants receiving 400 IU/day having 25(OH)D concentrations of at least 75 nmol/L compared with 100 percent of infants receiving 1,600 IU/day. However, at 12 months, 97.5 percent of infants in all groups did not sustain this concentration. The 1,600 IU/day dosage was discontinued prematurely due to elevated plasma 25(OH)D concentrations associated with hypercalcemia. All four groups attained 25(OH)D concentrations of at least 50 nmol/L in 98 percent of infants at 12 months. Dosage was not associated with growth and bone mineral content.
"Among healthy, term, breastfed infants, only a vitamin D supplement dosage of 1,600 IU/d (but not dosages of 400, 800, or 1,200 IU/d) increased plasma 25(OH)D concentration to 75 nmol/L or greater in 97.5 percent of infants at three months," Gallo and colleagues conclude. "However, this dosage increased 25(OH)D concentrations to levels that have been associated with hypercalcemia."

Under the brilliant and rigorous direction of Oliver Butler, the Debate Society certainly doesn't disappoint in this bizarre but deeply winning homage to the drive-in cinema of yore.
A decaying drive-in comes to life with stories of lighthouses, naughty little girls and places you imagine remembering. So sit back, relax, refrain from loud talking and rough-housing, turn off your headlights, enjoy some tasty popcorn, put litter in its place, keep an eye on your children, think about how happy we could be, and remember that this country is full of dark, dark places along dark, dark roadways where dark, dark things can happen.
The Debate Society's fourth full-length play transforms the performance space into their own version of a drive-in theater to present an intimate and absurd perspective of classic Americana. The Brooklyn based play-makers conjure a road trip epic wherein "The lives, desires, and memories of various passengers take a number of sharp and darkly comic turns over the course of one night, dissolving into three studies of bittersweet disenchantment." (The New Yorker)
Joining co-writers Hannah Bos and Paul Thureen onstage is actor Michael Cyril Creighton and acclaimed NY actress, Drama Desk and two-time Obie Award winner and Emmy nominee Pamela Payton-Wright . . . who is also the mother of Cape Disappointment director Oliver Butler.
Cape Disappointment was commissioned by Performance Space 122 and premiered there in November, 2008.

Shia LaBeouf Walks Out Of 'Nymphomaniac' Press Conference, Shows Up To Premiere With A Bag Over His Head
Shia LaBeouf is either a marketing genius, or he's got some serious issues.
The star, who has made headlines for all sorts of antics since being accused of plagiarizing the material for a short film he produced, stunned the crowd at the Berlinale International Film Festival in Germany on Sunday when he showed up with a paper bag over his head with a message reading "I Am Not Famous Anymore" written on it in big black lettering.
While promoting the controversial new Lars von Trier film Nymphomaniac at the annual festival, Shia joined co-stars Stacy Martin, Uma Thurman, Stellan Skarsgard and Christian Slater at a press conference prior to the premiere, and he walked out after answering just one question.
When asked about the sex scenes in the film, LaBeouf answered, "When the seagulls follow the trawler, it's because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea. Thank you very much."
Last month the 27-year-old announced his retirement from acting on his twitter page. The announcement came following his admission to plagiarizing the material used for his short film.
But even LaBeouf's quote isn't original -- it was used by French actor and former soccer star Eric Cantona following an assault conviction in 1995.
But Shia may be playing us all, just like Joaquin Phoenix did in 2009 when he announced his retirement from acting to pursue a rap career. As it turned out he was just in character for his movie I'm Still Here.
