You will probably never have heard of Sylvain Mollier. Few people outside the small French village where he lived even know what he looks like. Until today, his picture had never appeared in a newspaper or on TV.
Cyclist Mr Mollier was originally written off as collateral damage in the Alpine massacre which claimed his life and the lives of three members of a British family, leaving two little girls orphaned.
But new evidence seems to point to him being the key to the mystery. As we shall see, it now seems clear that the 45-year-old father-of-three was the first to be gunned down. It has also emerged that he was shot seven times, more than any of the other victims, who were each shot twice.
Mr Mollier was found next to a UK-registered BMW estate car in a remote lay-by high above Lake Annecy, in the French Alps, on the afternoon of September 5. Inside the BMW were the bodies of engineer Saad Al-Hilli, 50, and his wife Ikbal, 47, from Claygate, Surrey, and Mrs Al-Hillis mother Suhalia, 74.
Zeena Al-Hilli, four, escaped unhurt by hiding under her mother's skirt. The only witness was her seven-year-old sister, Zainab, who survived against all the odds despite being pistol-whipped and shot in the shoulder.
The murders - one of the most shocking unsolved cases of recent times - have resulted in an almost endless list of conspiracy theories and possible motives. Over the past few days there have been yet more claims and revelations.

Lawrence Dean "Pete" DeBorde
A graveside service is scheduled [auth] for Wednesday, April 30, 2014 at South Park Cemetery at 11:00 AM for Lawrence Dean "Pete" DeBorde, 86, who passed away on Friday, April 25, 2014 at Casa Maria Health Care Center. Service will be celebrated by Deacon Howard Herring. Pete was born March 1, 1928, to William Andrew Deborde and Ruth Chewning DeBorde in Roswell, NM. Both have preceded him in death. His brother James DeBorde, sisters Lois Green, Louise Fletcher, Mary K. Bonhan and Betty Fuller also preceded him in death.
Pete served his country aboard the Navy aircraft carrier the USS Princeton. After returning home Pete went to work for Sacra Brothers Gas Company/Arrow Gas Company. He always tried to broaden his horizon, constantly learning new things. Always being interested with ranch and cattle life, he worked with Schrimsher Brothers Feed Mill and later on with White Feed Mills; his last stint of employment before retiring was with Wakefield Oil Company. Pete was involved with an organization that meant the world to him — it was the East Grand Plains Lions Club. He, along with his partners in crime, cooked BBQ's for many years for the people of Roswell. After the Lions Club he was a chef for his family reunions that meant so much to him. Each yearly event was a work of art and loved by all. In the last few years of his life, Pete was blessed and assisted by his nephew Chuck Green and his wife Shonda. Within the last year Pete was assisted by his son David and grandson Dominic, a blessing for all of them whether it was cooking or his wonderful gardening adventures. The bond formed between them is one that will never be broken.
Those left to cherish his memory are his wife Mary DeBorde of Roswell, NM, his son David DeBorde of Roswell, NM, his brother Bob DeBorde and wife Georgette of Montana, sisters Helen Luff and husband Glen of Midland, TX, Cindy Jindrich and husband Tom of Washington, Molly Warren and Bill Carson of Frederiksberg, PA, grandson Dominic DeBorde of Roswell, NM, granddaughter Stephanie Annette DeBorde of Colorado Springs, CO and many nieces and nephews and friends.
Serving as honorary pallbearers are Ron Woods, Joe Archibald, Tom DeBorde, Chuck Green, Daniel Matta and Larry Rowlett.
Memorial contributions can be made in Pete's name to the Assurance Home, 1000 E. 18th Street, Roswell, NM 88203.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Ballard Funeral Home and Crematory. An online registry can be accessed at ballardfuneralhome.com\

A new code of conduct paving the way for workplace pension charges to be shown consistently across the industry for the first time was published today.
The code for disclosing pension costs to employers in a standardised way has been developed by a working group of trade, consumer and industry bodies and pension providers.
It follows calls for more to be done to step up pension scheme transparency and encourage trust in pension saving, amid concerns that people are not putting enough aside for their old age.
The Government's landmark scheme to automatically enrol up to 10 million people into workplace pensions was launched last month, starting with larger firms.
The new code would apply to anyone providing services to employers in setting up and administering pension schemes for auto-enrolment, including insurance companies, trust-based pension schemes, financial advisers and any other professionals offering paid advice.
It is endorsed by the National Association of Pension Funds (NAPF) and the Association of British Insurers (ABI), in association with the Investment Management Association (IMA) and the Society of Pension Consultants (SPC).
The groups will encourage their members and others in the pension market to follow the practices set out by the code, which specifies that all charges should be clearly and accurately shown in writing.
Joanne Segars, chief executive of the NAPF, said: "Auto-enrolment will help get millions of workers saving for their old age, but it will only truly succeed if people join a pension that offers good value for money, and if they then stick with it.
"Charges are a big concern for many people, and this code will help put a spotlight on the fine print."
Under the code, employers should receive a standard template summarising the pension charges levied and the services that they relate to.
Employers must be able to see examples of how different levels of charges could affect the pension pots of their workers, either through a document or a dedicated web tool.
The code will come into effect in two stages. The first begins on January 1, when it should be used as a guide for best practice.
The second stage starts one month after the launch of the web tool, which the ABI is working on and expects to be available from April 1. During this stage, all the provisions of the code will apply.
Steve Gay, director of life, savings and protection at the ABI, said: "It is extremely important that we raise confidence in pensions through transparency and value for money.
"The new code will allow employers to make a better choice of pension scheme by providing them with clear and consistent information on charges, costs and services."
TUC general secretary Brendan Barber described the move as "a big step forward".
He said: "Employers need help in choosing the best auto-enrolment pension, and their staff need to know they have made a good choice too.
"This new code brings greater transparency to charges. This is vital as even small variations can make a big difference to the pensions people receive."
Mr Barber said that more work still needs to be done "to ensure that both employers and employees get the best possible return from each pound saved".
Pensions Minister Steve Webb said the code is a "useful starting point" in improving pensions transparency across the industry.
He said: "We are looking to the whole of the industry to do the right thing and work together on this and other industry initiatives to improve transparency.

Nice brush for short coat dogs. Only issue is that the hog hair keeps falling out. I tried to get the loose hair out as much as possible, but I still have to wipe the hog hair off my dog every time I use it.

Well I have a "horse of a dog" and wanted a soft bristle finishing brush, this one fits the bill. Couldnt find an actual dog brush that had this type of soft packed bristles for getting that last layer of loose hair & dust off but this one works great. Soft enough to brush my Great Dane's face and belly too!

This brush gets all the dust off of your horse, and makes them shiny. I once groomed a horse who had very sensitive skin and he LOVED this brush! I was his favorite! This is the best soft horse brush money can buy.

This Oster soft grooming brush really gets the final dust off and leaves a shine on my horses. The shaped, padded back makes it much easier to hold and to use. I have chronic tendonitis in my hands and this brush is a vast improvement over my old, standard shaped, wood ones. Plus -- it WORKS!

Greeting from Manchester!
Hi, I'm an architecture student and fixed gear rider living in Manchester, England. I was in Berlin a few weeks ago and came to visit your workshop which was incredible, wish I could've stayed longer. I was hoping you could help me with a project I'm working on.
I need to find out about more about proper fixed gear riding rather than the fashion side of things. I spoke to Gary and Zorro when I was there and they both seemed to know loads about what its like to be a bike messenger in Berlin. I would like to know where bike messengers work and try to map some typical routes around the city. If you could let me know some distances, times you work or just any information on what its like to be a bike messenger in berlin that would be really great.
Thanks a lot

If These Walls Could Talk (See Jane Paint)
Also, note that I've never painted a room by myself; has anyone ever done it? Any tips you can share?
46 comments
Make sure you put good quality tape along the edges of the ceilings/ walls/ floor, and get a really good quality rolling-sponge brush.ReplyDelete
Love the gray idea!
Check out younghouselove.com. They are painting DIY pros and have a ton of very practical tips and videos.ReplyDelete
benjamin moore dove grey... the perfect slate. yum. go w/good paint. you'll appreciate it when it still looks fantastic a year or two laterReplyDelete
LOVE the first photo. And I absolutely agree with you- you can play around with textures and colors if your walls are neutral but still chic and not drab. I think a slate gray will be a good look and while I have zero expertise with painting, you can try a slight white trim to make it look classier.ReplyDelete
I love that you are going with gray!! I find gray makes a room so instantly chic! As for painting... the fella and I attempted to paint our last apartment, and it was definitely not without some struggle. My biggest tip is to paint the entire room at one time! Like, do one coat on the entire room, let it dry, then do the next coat of the entire room. Neverrrr paint half or part of a wall - even if you're using the same can of paint, it somehow will dry differently, and you can see where you stopped & started. Picture me & my 12 foot ceilings... I paint as high as I can reach (about half way up) all around the room, thinking the fella can climb up on the ladder to finish the top half when he gets home. There was a LINE half way up the wall where I stopped and he started. Also, get all of your paint mixed at once... going back for more paint might result in a slightly different shade! Those are my two main tips! But otherwise, have fun, take your time and I'm sure you will be sooo excited with the results!! Can't wait to see!ReplyDelete
The hubby and I have painted four rooms in the house we currently live in. Here are my tips: :)ReplyDelete
1. Purchase the wider 3M painters tape, usually in blue. They have different width sizes, the bigger the better.
2. Don't over soak your roller or brush with too much paint. This will cause the paint to drip and run on the wall. It's not cool to see drip marks once you're done, especially since you worked so hard.
3. Once you've completed all coats of paint, remove the painters tape asap. Be careful, cause sometimes paint has seeped through. The reason to remove it quickly is because if it is completely dry, we've experienced some of the dry paint to also peel off with the tape. If that happens, just take a small tip paint brush (like one you'd use if you were painting on a canvas) and just paint the small areas where the paint was removed.
Hope my tips help! :) and good luck!
xo ~ Colleen
A grey will be really lovely - just make sure you use a good quality tape and really secure it properly in the seams!ReplyDelete
xoxo ~ Courtney
gray is the best! our living room has three walls of grey and i love it. good luck! xoxo jillian:: cornflake dreamsReplyDelete
well I dislike my room so i'm no help. But I love these pictures! I'm inspired to redo mine now, thanks!ReplyDelete
I've never painted anything before either but that grey color looks like a great choice. Good luck!ReplyDelete

i did my bedroom in "Manhattan Mist" by Behr (760E-2) - it is super light, but looks awesome. it looked kinda of purple for a while, but i convinced myself out of that and now i love it!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJuly 14, 2011 at 9:46 AM
Remove everything from the room that doesn't need to be painted. If that's not possible, cover with plastic sheets. Cover (double cover) floors with plastic sheets, newspapers, tarps, whatever you have or can get. There will be splatters and spills and drips, no matter how careful you are. And make sure you have paint thinner or cleaner at hand before you start, or you'll be frantically searching the store while cover in paint splatters afterward (true story :)ReplyDelete
I wish I had some advice to give! I'm the worst at painting, I always make a serious mess. Love greys, I don't think you can go wrong!ReplyDelete
Take a look at Benjamin Moore Revere Pewter. I have it in my kitchen and feel that it is pretty neutral. Good luck and love your blog!ReplyDelete
I found this great blog that might be helpful. It features rooms in different colors and you can even search by color.ReplyDelete
get behr paint and primer in one--you'll only need one coat and no primer. i used dolphin fin. I'll email you a photo of how it turned out.ReplyDelete
Grrr to typos! I meant Dior grey!ReplyDelete
I really love the top right! From the picture, there's almost a blueish undertone with a little plum - you could easily bring those colors out, or pair it with a crisp white. So versatile!ReplyDelete
That's so funny - I am also painting my bedroom (and living room) a shade of gray this summer. My mom and aunt are coming to help me, since I have never painted anything on my own either... Everyone's tips are really great!ReplyDelete
I'm also scouring ApartmentTherapy.com for any pointers they might have.
I painted three rooms in my apartment last year, not so fun, but so worth it. My bathroom is an extremely light grey which I love called Heavy Goose, which is what it felt like after an hour or so of painting.Trimmer/Edgers are INVALUABLE, you can almost skip taping the ceiling if you use one, saves massive time, you can buy them at Home Depot or any paint storeReplyDelete
And of course shameless self promotion: http://heywhynot-daniellebreen.blogspot.com/
paint brush and the tape matters! and make sure you cover floor well. Have fun picking colors and painting! Hope to see the before and after shot. xo!ReplyDelete
Just make sure you tape really well! Gray sounds absolutely perfect.ReplyDelete
xo Josie
I painted my whole flat myself. The only trick is to tape the edges very good. And gray is a great color!ReplyDelete

Several of the rooms in our condo are grey and I blogged about the colors (with paint chip #'s) on my blog. Here's the link!ReplyDelete
My office is a DEVINE: Fog. Looked grey, looks blueish on the walls, dont love.ReplyDelete
So going to paint my daughters room SHERWINN WILLIAMS: 6002 Essential Gray. It looks promising, no blues to it ;)
Cant wait to see what accents you are doing because I am struggling with sheets.
Am going to do a valance that matches the wall color, fluffy, has movement to it. The comforters are PEONY PINK (bright raspberry pink) but trying to figure out sheets w/ white furniture.
So keep us posted!
ah i love grey with bright accents!ReplyDelete
Gorgeous colors! I really love the gray oneReplyDelete
Andrea is right, Dove Grey is heavenly (no pun intended). My only caution with grey is be sure to nail the right finish. It can look to silvery if you have any sort of gloss so I recommend an eggshell.ReplyDelete
Can't wait to see pics.
I can't remember what the exact colour I used was called but it was gorgeous! a dove grey and we got so many compliments on it, very classy but still fun, plus it lets you play with accessories and bedding! Can't wait to see what the finished result looks like!ReplyDelete
p.s the only painting tip I have is be prepared to want to quit after the first coat. So grab some wine. And a really good helper!
My husband and I painted our bedroom Chinchilla by Sherwin Williams. It's moody and mellow, and sometimes has a hint of taupe-ish grey depending on the time of day. Love!ReplyDelete
We've paired it with breezy white curtains and white bedding, and then used orange/coral acccents. I guess my advice would be to keep a lot of white in the room to balance it out, since that particular color is on the darker side.
Good luck! Can't wait to see the end result.
There's nothing like a fresh coat of paint to completely change the feel of a room! Tip: hire someone to do it! I know painting is totally do-able, but professionals can do it quickly and you won't have to worry about backpain!ReplyDelete
'Fashion Gray' by Behr is a great color, it changes with the light of the day. A bit lighter in the day with the light, and a bit darker at night for a more moody feel.ReplyDelete
I love gray walls! especially with a pop of yellow. great blog!ReplyDelete
Benjamin Moore is the best paint out there - but you'll definitely pay for it. They have incredible colors and are low VOC. When you paint, you'll barely smell it. I'd highly recommend using it. We just finished painting our entire home - including our bedroom in a soft gray (pale oak). Good luck!ReplyDelete
- Emily in Richmond VAJuly 15, 2011 at 9:49 PM
We did our nursery/guest room in Benjamin Moore's Pelican Gray. We were going to go darker but this color is lovely. We first trimmed out the room-- all the edges and corners, around light switches and outlets with a good brush. We didn't use tape--not a big fan of the bleeding that you get with tape. We used there low VOC, all in one and only needed one gallon per room and still have some left over. Have fun!ReplyDelete
Great blog! :)ReplyDelete
If you like my blog, follow me and I will follow you back. :)
get a roller extension to avoid what happend to kate! also, recruit another person to help to speed up the process :)ReplyDelete
Good Luck! I haven't painted anything like that myself...but depending on your original wall color, you may need primer! Also, maybe just paint one wall, or one section first, so then you know how it looks and what's going on! :)ReplyDelete
Take a look at this month's real simple. They have some neat ideas about paint starting on pg. 140. One thing I loved was they gave ideas on colors for ceilings.ReplyDelete
good luck! i really love the gray with the stripes and lime combo! my essentials in painting a room are: great tape, sturdy ladder, great roller brush, and great music to keep you company. you'll need all the energy in the world to keep yourself from quitting ;)ReplyDelete
I'm a huge fan of grey in decor!ReplyDelete
i have to second and third everyone who said to make sure you do a good taping job. We just painted our dining room grey and it looks great. I'm sure it will look fab in your bedroom.ReplyDelete
There is a green tape, i think it's called Frog tape or something. It's a little more expensive but it is the best!
Hey Chicago blogger! Love the colors! I too painted my room recently to a lovely gray. When I was in the store, the color looked more like the gray on your top right picture, but when I was done painting, it looked more like the bottom left . I suppose just prepare yourself for the color to change depending on the light you get in the room. Other then that, if your looking for perfection- don't ask your friends to help!ReplyDelete
I just recently found your blog through Helena of Brooklyn Blonde and I see you want to paint the room Gray. I just painted my room a gray color myself last year I used the home depot's Sterling and its the best color because it changes color throughout the light of the day. I used an eggshell finish that has a nice sheen to it and high gloss crisp white for the trim. Don't forget filling and sanding of walls and a primer.ReplyDelete
Hi there! I just stumbled upon your blog and love it so far. I echo the advice of those above that it's worth it to spend the time carefully taping and doing all the prep work. It's a pain when all you want to do is get started painting, but the results will be worth it in the end!ReplyDelete

Waterford man who pranked neighbor banned from using Internet
A 31-year-old Waterford man who posted a female neighbor's photo in online ads has been banned from using the Internet by a Racine County Circuit judge, WTMJ-TV reports.
Jason Willis must prove he has discontinued his Internet service within 30 days based on an order from Judge Allan "Pat" Torhorst.
Willis' female neighbor told WTMJ that the online ads drew a number of men to her doorstep, one wearing nothing but a trenchcoat.
The judge explained his decision to WTMJ by stating: "To me, a public availability of the Internet — to use it the way he did — is unconscionable. Everybody knows it's wrong. He knew it was wrong. He admitted it."

No, except for price, the PF9 has nothing on a Glock.
This is a discussion on kel tec pf9 vs glock 26 within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; i have a kel tec pf9 that serves as a edc carry and sometimes backup gun but is it better than a glock 26 for ...
i have a kel tec pf9 that serves as a edc carry and sometimes backup gun but is it better than a glock 26 for 450-550$ is a glock 26 i think let me know if have found one cheaper but a kel tec is 225-334$ once again let me know if you have one cheaper
No, except for price, the PF9 has nothing on a Glock.
I am in no way a fan of Glock. But just about any firearm is better than a Kel Tec.
They cannot even be compared. The Glock is in the Major League. The Kel Tec is a farm team.
" Blessed is that man, who when facing death, thinks only of his front sight"
-Jeff Cooper
I do not post much, but this one I have to. I have both pistols and all I can say is stay away from the pf-9. I have had problems since day day with FTF problems. g26 no problems, no break in period. You really can not compare the two. Just for the record the g26 is not my EDC gun, but would be my second choice. The pf9 would be my last choice. I have owned 3 kel-tecs and have learned my lesson. When it did fire the recoil also sucked, compared to the glock. Answer = NO
There is no comparison between a PF9 and a Glock 26. The PF9 is an inexpensive weapon made to sell for a low price. The Glock 26 is simply a small sized service weapon designed to function with a minimum of care for extended periods of time.
Although the PF9 is small, light and easy to conceal and carry, it will never be in the same class of weapon as a Glock. Save your pennies and get one. Price be damned! It's a lifetime investment.
Question Everything!
I agree that the glock is a much better firearm. But, I have never had any problems with the kel tec's.
Neither. Kahr every day of the week.
Sent using Tapatalk, thanks for supporting it on this site.
I carried a pf-9 for 2 1/2 years. Fired right at 2000 rounds threw it with NO problems at anything. Now the glock should do the same and I have a g17 and had a g27, I sold that little brick. They are not meant to be in the same class BUT it does it job better than so many other smaller handguns and does it with a 9mm cartidge . If you had a problem and did not take the time to find if it was you or the gun and then you did not try to fix the problem it your fault. Its a dam good thing you did not spend 1000 dollars on a pistol that has HP feeding issues. To many gun snobs. I bought a cw9 kahr off a guy that said it also was a undependable junk. I cleaned it up ,lubed it and fired 600 rounds threw it and then bough cm9 too. If you can afford a glock or better a XD or M&P as they fit most hands better buy one. If you can only afford a 250 dollar pistol or want a truely light and thin 9mm ,,,,,
I just sold a PF9. I would never recommend it to anyone. It was likely the worst handgun I've owned. After less than 300 rounds it was eating itself. It showed poor timing, poor tempering, and a failure to extract from time to time.
Washington Post 06/28/2010 re: Supreme Court Decision
"The court's decision means that the enigmatically worded Second Amendment... identifies an individual right to gun ownership, like the freedom of speech, that cannot be unduly restricted by Congress, state laws or city ordinances. "
Kel-Tecs are NOT range guns. You will HATE ther trigger.
I.E.: shot frequently at range sessions or in competitions and such.
What they are, are inexpensive pistols, that come with a lifetime warranty, that are to be shot, to make sure they are dependable{250+} rounds, with mostly FMJ's, and perhaps 25-50 rounds of HP's with no hiccup's to be sure they will go bang when your life is on the line.
My P-11 does just that.I have other pistols for other things, but it goes with me to work and home.That is all I ask of it.
If you will only be buying one pistol, and need it for CC, do your homework, and go with something like S&W/Glock or Kahr if you need small&thin. Ruger could also work, with the SR9c.
Good luck in your quest.
I would rather die with good men than hide with cowards
If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans
Don't ever think that the reason I'm peaceful is because I don't know how to be violent
M&Pc .357SIG, 2340Sigpro .357SIG
I, like cloudjockey, don't post often either but, I own a Pf-9 that I love. I'm not saying it's better than the glock, it really is more like comparing apples to oranges. I wouldn't be off put by all the kel tec haters either, many other "reputable" manufacturers have issues with firearms twice the price. Mine has been flawless out the box no matter what ammo I have used.
Not saying the Glock is a bad gun, but neither is the PF9. I have read about many problems with all kinds of firearm manufacturers, just because one costs more doesn't mean it is immune to having some sort of problem.

Bruce McLachlan has moved from the Goliath to the David of the banking industry but says he isn't worried about having far fewer zeros on the balance sheet.
The former Westpac executive yesterday stepped into the chief executive role at The Co-operative Bank, formerly known as PSIS.
"It is a very, very small bank - it is less than half of a per cent [of the market] in terms of assets," McLachlan said.
"But they have done a tremendous job in the last year in repositioning and getting a banking licence - without that I would never have been interested in the job."
McLachlan said he was attracted to the role because of the bank's point of difference - the fact that its customers are also its owners.
"I was very excited about this opportunity because I really believe in its point of difference."
Despite it being a fraction of the size of Westpac, McLachlan believes The Co-operative can still compete with the bigger banks.
"When New Zealanders know and understand about co-operatives it [the bank] will emerge as a genuine choice in the market place."
But he is under no illusions about its size or where its strength lies.
"It is always going to be a niche bank," he said.
"This is a retail bank. They have moved into small business banking but it is an extension of personal banking."
McLachlan said more branches was an option for increasing its retail footprint but his focus for now would be on realising the full potential of the existing 30 branches, seven of which are in Auckland.
"You could spend a huge amount of money [opening branches]. My last job at Westpac was opening 10 branches in Auckland. But it's not the basis on which I have come into this job."
McLachlan said he would also focus on going back to banking basics.
"That has a huge impact on performance really."
He is also keen to engage more with the bank's owners.
BRUCE McLACHLAN
* 49 years old.
* Married with 3 adult children.
* Bachelor of Commerce and Administration from Victoria University, Wellington.
* 30 years in financial services.
* Most recent role 10 plus years at Westpac New Zealand.
* Interests include sport, boating, gardening and hiking.
The Co-operative Bank, formerly known as PSIS, says the one-off costs of becoming a registered bank and rebranding are behind a drop in profits.
The business converted to a bank in October 2011 and yesterday reported a pre-tax underlying profit of $7.2 million for the year to March 31, down from $7.4 million in the previous year.
Chairman Steven Fyfe said he was pleased with the result despite the drop in profits. "Although the bank's pre-tax operating profit of $6.6 million is down on the previous year, we're pleased with the result, as the reduction in profit is primarily due to the one-off costs associated with bank registration and rebranding as the Co-operative Bank."
The bank's deposits increased by $51 million to $1.21 billion and its lending book grew $43 million to $1.21 billion.

Good Advice
Jan 24th, 2013 by Autumn Sunshine
Some very super advice from Charlie Brown and Snoopy 🙂
"What if today, we were just grateful for Everything?
Let's Try it !
Just for one day, let's try being grateful for everything. I'm going to do just that. Sometimes we think things are not as they should be, but in reality, most of us are blessed.
Life is something to be grateful for. I've seen lives end way too soon. The people we have in our lives right now. Those we love and are happy to have, are really great gifts.
Do a Happy Dance
Find joy all around you and a happy dance is lots of fun 🙂 Get back that feeling you had as a child. That feeling that all was right in the world and in your world. The innocence of being a child, nothing wrong with feeling that way. If only for one day, give it a try, see how you feel.
I hope you all have a happy day and a happy dance and a feeling that you are grateful. Let me know how it goes …

matter what agile or lean approach you are using.
If senior management needs to know how long the entire project will take, the best way is still to explain, "We need three iterations to be able to estimate. We will track our velocity for three iterations and give you a reasonable three-point estimate at the end of that time, OK?"
Anyone who won't wait six weeks, or three two-week iterations, for a reasonable estimate wants a SWAG—a "scientific, wild- tush guess." In that case, you can say, "Christmas," and don't provide a year. This is the "Happy Date" schedule game. You' give them what they want to hear, because reality will intrude soon enough.
If you are transitioning to agile, here are guidelines I have found useful:
Make your stories small enough so that you, the team, can finish more than one story inside an iteration. My rule of thumb is that you should be able to complete a story every day or, at worst, every two days. If you can complete stories more often, that's even better. If you can't complete a story at least once every two days as a team, your stories are too big. Yes, there are exceptions, but you'd better have a darn good reason.
Remember that velocity is personal to a team. As soon as you change a team's makeup, velocity can change. So, don't change the people on a team if you want any sort of predictability about estimation.
If you really want some predictability, make the stories really small, so that people can pair on them and still finish them in a day or less. Then, all you need to do is count the stories to have a rough idea of how long the team needs to finish the project. "That's a lot of stories, JR!" Of course it is. That's why you're paying people to work on the project.
I no longer estimate my work. I make sure my chunks of work are tiny. That way, I just keep chugging along. That would work for your team, too.
But, whatever you do, give up the notion of stories spanning iterations. If your stories are big enough that they need to span iterations, stop right there. Stop with the partial credit. Put those stories on a diet. Separate the stories—not into tasks, but into multiple, independent, smaller stories that the responsible person or product owner can schedule into the most appropriate iteration and rank when it's time for that story to be implemented.

The Moringa oleifera tree also known as the Horseradish or Drumstick tree is one of the most underutilized of tropical crops. The tree is native to India but has been planted all around the world. Order the finest Moringa seeds here!
This tree is known by many names worldwide. In the Philippines, it is called Malunggay and Marungay. The Haitian people call it Benzolive, in Punjab, it is known as Surajana. In Nicaragua, it is called Marango.
How about some more names for Moringa? Okay, here they are: Ben Oil Tree, Murunga, Sojina, Murungai Maram, Sahjan, Brède Mouroum, Saragvo, Kelor, Shobhanjana.
Moringa trees grow best at temperatures between 77 and 95 degrees F. They can even deal with a light frost! Moringa prefers a well-drained sandy loam or loam soil, but tolerates clay. It will not survive under prolonged flooding and poor drainage. Moringa can grow in a soil pH range between 5.0–8.0.
Grow trees in full sun for best growth and production of leaves, flowers and pods.
Irrigate newly transplanted trees immediately to promote early root development. When planting during the dry season irrigate regularly if temperatures are high and less when temperatures drop below 60 degrees F. Once established, Moringa rarely need watering. The well-rooted tree tolerates drought and needs irrigation only when persistent wilting is evident.
Moringa trees are fast growers and can be harvested while just five or six feet tall. Harvesting is done by cutting away two feet from the tops and drying the leaves in the shade. Trees also bear flowers that produce bean pods also called drumsticks.
Container grown trees need more attention to watering and temperature variations. Do not over water your container grown tree! Root rot can come on very quickly. This is especially true if the tree is planted in a pot that is way too big for its root system. Transplant gradually from 1 gal to 3 gal to 7 gal etc.
Food & Nutritional Value:
In many parts of the world the leaves of the tree and its beans are cooked and eaten by the locals. Many people in the United States and Europe take Moringa leaf powder in capsule form for better health. A standard capsule generally contains 500 mg of pure Moringa leaf extract. Moringa leaf is believed to be a remedy for hypertension and lowering cholesterol.
The dried leaves are made into powder and also added to stews, salads and other foods to increase the amount of protein in the meal. Many sources also claim that the powder helps to increase lactation and fortify mother's breast milk. When adding fresh leaves to salad you should rinse them off with clean water. Some people blanch the leaves for about three minutes in boiling water to reduce any potential pathogens.
The pods are extremely nutritious and they contain essential amino acids, vitamins and minerals. The immature pod can be eaten raw or prepared like green peas or green beans. Mature pods are usually fried and have a flavor much like peanuts. Immature green pods are often preferred to mature beans. The pods also yield edible oil known as Ben Oil. This oil is odorless, clear and sweet.
Moringa leaves contain:
Seven times the vitamin C in oranges.
Four times the Calcium in milk.
Four times the vitamin A of a carrot.
Twice the protein in milk.
Three times the Potassium in a banana.
They also provide high levels of Iron, Magnesium, vitamin B and minerals.
Many people use the root as a substitute for horseradish. This is not a good idea! The roots contain powerful alkaloids and they can cause severe poisoning.
Other uses of the powder and beans are in water purification.
Moringa can also be used as animal feed and as a green manure for organic gardening. The composted leaves and stems make an excellent fertilizer. Moringa leaves provide all of the essential amino acids necessary for human well being. It is an excellent balanced vegetarian source of usable calcium.
Moringa leaf extract contains a plant growth hormone, called Zeatin. Zeatin has been reported to increase yields by 25-30% for nearly any crop.
A fresh juice may be prepared from fresh moringa leaves and used as a foliar nutritional spray. Zeatin is a plant hormone from the cytokinins group. This foliar spray should be used in addition to a balanced nutritional fertilizer program containing NPK and minerals. Tomato plants benefit tremendously from the calcium provided by the Moringa. Calcium helps to prevent blossom end rot in tomatoes.
How to prepare a foliar nutritional by using moringa leaves:
5 lbs of leaves mixed with 5 cups of water and strained in a cloth. Collect all the juice and mix at the rate of 1:8 spray all parts of plants a few hours before sundown. Be sure to spray under and over the leaves of your crops. Use this spray about one week after seedlings emerge and once per month before plants begin to flower. Are you interested in an amazing compost tea that contains Moringa? Check out Organikthrive!
Antifungal and Antibacterial Compounds of Moringa:
It may be surprising to you, that Moringa trees have been researched in India since the 1940's. They are truly amazing trees in so many ways.
Let me share with you what I discovered a few weeks ago. This is real life, real world, hands on experimentation on my Moringa trees.
All knowledge is based on trial and error. Anything you do based on this information is at your own risk. Do not play doctor on yourself. The information below is intended for your consideration in treating plant diseases not any human, animal disease etc. Call your doctor for that!
Okay? Good! Now think about this.
Moringa contains the compounds benzyl glucosinolate and isothiocyanate. You may also find mention of a compound referred to as pterygospermin. These compound are found mainly in the seeds, flowers and roots of the moringa tree. Moringa extracts are believed to be very powerful antibacterial, and antifungal remedies.
I have used the juice extracted from moringa roots on branches and trunks of trees to heal some nasty infections. Recently, I treated a young Soursop tree suffering from what I believe was a fungal bark disease. The Soursop tree had a black tar oozing from the main central trunk approximately two feet above the soil. Based on my own research and my own speculation, I applied the moringa root extract three times a week for three weeks. Amazingly the tar like substance slowed and stopped completely by week two. The Soursop tree is doing great now and all you can notice is a slight indent at the site of the disease. Consider using moringa extracted from the root on cankers and other fungal/bacterial diseases. I think you will find similar results. Let me know your results and let's advance the power of natural remedies to heal and prevent diseases.

text: The Diamond Trust of London wiki last edited by BGoldenTLE on 01/12/16 02:55AM View full history OverviewA strategy game for the Nintendo DS, developed by Jason Rohrer with music by Tom Bailey.After being held up in Nintendo's approval process for seven months, the game's title had to be changed to "Jason Rohrer with music by Tom Bailey: Diamond Trust of London" in order to get the final approval for release. The game's cartridge production was then funded via a Kickstarter campaign. GameplayIn Diamond Trust of London players take turns paying agents and sending them to various areas in Angola to smuggle diamonds back to their base of operations. The majority of the game revolves around paying off both your own agents as well as those of your opponents.At the beginning of each turn both players will make decisions on where to move their agents and how much to bid for the diamonds in a certain region in secret, the turn will then play out and both players will see who outbid the other and who gets the diamonds. The crux of the gameplay comes from bribing opposing agents so that they will reveal certain secrets such as how much the other player is going to bid at a location. This works both ways so players are never sure if any of their own agents have been bribed or not, only by increasing their salary can you get them back on your side. KickstarterAt specific levels of contribution to the Kickstarter campaign a limited edition was sent. These copies were signed by Jason Rohrer and Tom Bailey and were hand numbered up to 1000. Along with the game a small package was given that contained foreign stamps, coins, and a small diamonds.

Class actions against the collapsed Storm Financial and two banks have suffered a setback after the corporate regulator agreed to a settlement with Commonwealth Bank of Australia late last week.
In the Federal Court in Brisbane on Monday, Allan Myers QC for the Australian Securities and Investments Commission said further mediation should be conducted with Bank of Queensland and Macquarie Bank (owned by Macquarie Group).
Last Friday, CBA, which was the largest issuer of margin loans to Storm clients, agreed to pay $136 million in compensation to 2400 people who invested in Storm. The financial adviser's collapse left as many as 13,000 investors facing combined losses of more than $3 billion.
Tony Morris QC, for the Storm victims, said CBA's settlement meant Storm clients would need further time to consider their positions.
"I'm sure it was just a coincidence that the Commonwealth Bank waited until after 4pm on Friday to announce their offer," Mr Morris said.
While ASIC chairman Greg Medcraft described CBA's settlement as a victory, there has been criticism from class action participants as they were relying on evidence from ASIC's court action against the bank.
Levitt Robinson principal Stuart Levitt, who is leading the class actions, said the offer by CBA was "parsimonious" and the settlement with ASIC "stank".
"Many of our clients were determined to see transparency but with this settlement it will narrow the forensic scope of proceedings."
Outside the court, retired car salesman and Storm client Quentin Bates, who almost lost his house in the collapse, said he thought the CBA's move was tactical.
"The agreement with the CBA has thrown all this into chaos," Mr Bates said. "The bank might be thinking it can just push this out and break us but we are not going to."
During the hearing Justice John Reeves also deliberated whether a court order should be made forcing other banks to mediate.
ASIC's Mr Myers said there had been an "out of court" discussion leading him to believe that the Bank of Queensland and Macquarie Bank were open to mediation.
However, John Sheahan for Macquarie Bank questioned the enthusiasm of the banks to mediate. Andrew Crowe for Bank of Queensland said the bank "[didn't] see a need for financial mediation."

This report discusses a general approach to reconstructing ground truth intensity images of bar codes that have been distorted by LADAR optics. The first part of this report describes the experimental data collection of several bar code images along with experimentally obtained estimates of the LADAR beam size and configuration at various distances from the source. Mathematical models of the beam size and configuration were developed and were applied through a convolution process to a simulated set of bar code images similar to the experiment. This was done in order to estimate beam spread models (beam spread models are unique to each specific LADAR) to be used in a deconvolution process to reconstruct the original bar code images from the distorted images. In the convolution process a distorted image in vector form g is associated with a ground truth image f and each element of g is computed as a weighted average of elements of f that are neighbors to that associated element. The deconcolution process form Hf = g where H is a large sparse matrix that is made up of elements from the beam spread function. The results of applying the several beam spread models to deconvolving the bar code images are given. Deconvolution of data measured at 10 m was more successful than that for 20 m or 40 m. The appendices include more detailed discussion of the least squares algorithm used and sample programs used during the various phases of the analysis.

Operators of the 1,900 state carriage (non-DTC) buses in Delhi on Monday submitted their list of objections to the state transport authority, which is formulating new permit conditions.
They would meet the transport minister on Tuesday before deciding weather they would go on strike against what they term "unfair conditions."
According to operators, the transport department has included a new condition that permit of a vehicle involved in a fatal accident would be liable to be cancelled and if it was found to be involved in two fatal accidents, no further permit would be issued.
"Conforming to this condition is beyond the control of the owner of the vehicle. Accidents can occur due to several reasons," operators said.
"The authority says electronic ticketing machines (ETMs) will be installed on the buses. We have said till ETMs are not installed, the operators should not be harassed," said Shyam Lal Gola, general secretary of the state transport authority operator ekta manch.
"With regard to the condition over carrying passengers in excess of the registered seating and standing capacity, we are saying that it is impossible for us to prevent passengers from boarding the bus. There is already a huge crisis of buses in Delhi. The government should increase the number of buses," he said.
Gola claimed that there was also confusion regarding issuing concessional travel passes. "They are yet to tell us who are the beneficiaries," he said.

Royals Place Yuniesky Betancourt On 15-Day DL With Sprained Ankle
The Kansas City Royals have placed infielder Yuniesky Betancourt on the 15-day disabled list with a sprained right ankle, according to an AP report.
Betancourt first injured the ankle toward the end of spring training but managed to play hurt through all of April; he appeared in 15 games, hitting .280 with one home run and three RBIs.
The Royals have purchased the contract of Irving Falu from Triple-A Omaha to fill Betancourt's spot on the big-league roster. This is Falu's first appearance in the major leagues after a decade in the minors; he was hitting .306 in his fourth season in Omaha. The Royals transferred closer Joakim Soria to the 60-day DL to make room for Falu on the 40-man roster. Soria is out for the season, recovering from Tommy John surgery.

Welcome to the Guide for resources about Gender & Sexuality in music.
Fall/Spring Semester
Monday - Thursday 8am to 9pm
Friday 8am to 5pm
Saturday 12pm to 5pm
Sunday 12pm to 9pm
Interim sessions: Monday – Friday, 8am to 5pm, closed weekends
Winter session hours subject to change.
When the University is closed for legal holidays on weekends (e.g. Thanksgiving), the Music Library is open normal hours on the Sunday before the Monday that classes resume, unless posted otherwise.
The Study of Gender and Sexuality in Music is a relatively new domain of research. As such, there exists less published material than other topics of interest. Because it is, by nature, an interdisciplinary topic, the research is spread out among these disciplines. Material can be found classified under "Gender," "Sexuality," "Women's Studies," and "Musicology," depending on the content of the material and the whim of the cataloger. A basic understanding of each of these separate disciplines and its content is important.
Research material specifically focused on Gender and/or Sexuality in Music is available, but relatively scarce. Because of the controversial nature of the subject, material is often best sought outside major journals in the fields and in the form of collections of essays rather than monographs or articles in prominent research journals. There are several excellent bibliographies listed on the Reference page, and researchers should also look at the works cited in the books and articles presented here, as they will often lead to additional sources.
Information is more readily available on a few well-known female composers listed in the Notable Composers tab. More materials are available for these women mainly because of their relation to famous male composers. Study of one of these women will yield a larger body of existing research than other women composers.
Musicology is the scholarly study of music, that is, the study of music through research and rather than through performance. Musicology emerged as a discipline through writings by Waldo Selden Pratt around 1915. Pratt established a rift between what he described as the scientific and scholarly study of music and the 'mere' performance of music. Musicology experienced a major shift in the 1980's and led to what is often called "new musicology" which emphasizes the cultural impact and effect of music. New Musicology's emergence is credited largely to Susan McClary's book Feminine Endings: Music, Gender, and Sexuality. Among the many criticisms of musicology is the exclusion of popular music from study. In the academic setting, the study of popular music is still widely controversial and often not accepted as legitimate study.
Within the broad discipline are two sub disciplines: Historical Musicology and Ethnomusicology. Historical Musicology studies music over time. This includes composition, performance and reception. Ethnomusicology is the study of music within its cultural context and the effect culture and music have on each other. Though it is most often associated with Non-Western music, it also applies to the study of music through a sociological perspective. When popular music is studied, it is most often under this umbrella. The study of gender and sexuality in musicology can fall under either umbrella depending on the context and the opinion of the researcher.

The Empowerment Disempowerment Trap
Over a decade ago the Onion (a satirical newspaper), ran a story entitled "Women Now Empowered by Everything."
"As recently as 15 years ago, a woman could only feel empowered by advancing in a male-dominated work world, asserting her own sexual wants and needs, or pushing for a stronger voice in politics. Today, a woman can empower herself through actions as seemingly inconsequential as driving her children to soccer practice or watching the Oxygen network."
This, hilarious I might add, story is mocking what is known as "choice feminism," a term coined by Linda R. Hirshman in the American Prospect in 2006. "A woman could work, stay home, have 10 children or one, marry or stay single," she wrote. "It all counted as 'feminist' as long as she chose it." Hirshman goes on to denounce this idea as a con, asserting that this Charlotte York approach will only lead to stalling, or reversing, gender equality.
Today, us feminists are still stuck in this "I choose my choice" quagmire, with recent battles about "selfies" and Michelle Obama's feminism as the latest examples.
The "selfie wars," which Sarah Seltzer wrote about for the Sisterhood, centered on the question of whether or not women taking pictures of themselves can be considered empowering. On one side was Jezebel's Erin Gloria Ryan arguing that self-portraits only reinforce "the socially-ingrained notion that the most valuable thing she has to offer the world is her looks." On the other side was Rachel Simmons writing on Slate that selfies are "a tiny pulse of girl pride — a shout-out to the self," a victory once and for all over the male gaze.
While these ladies were debating selfies, others were arguing over Michelle Obama's alleged status as a "feminist nightmare," as she was referred to in a recent article (a bananas one, I might add) in Politico. The writer argues that because Obama has stayed out of "serious" things and instead focuses on typical lady-stuff like nutrition, fitness and being a really great "mom-in-chief," she had disappointed many women who expected more from the Princeton grad.
I won't get into the back-and-forth on this one. It's not worth it. Instead, I want to call foul on this whole system of viewing everything a woman does as either empowering or disempowering for all women.
Are "selfies" feminist or anti-feminist? Is Michelle Obama's preference for typical "mom" causes feminist or anti-feminist? Is anyone else getting exhausted? And why is a decade-old "Onion" article the only thing that seems to get it?
Not everything a women does is necessarily empowering. This is what both Hirshman and the "Onion" pointed out years ago. But what some contemporary feminist writers are missing is that the inverse is also true. Not everything a women does is necessarily disempowering either.
Sometimes, many times really, women do things that are neither empowering or disempowering, that neither advance or impede the feminist cause. Sometimes women are just being people, doing the things they like, whether it's making a kale shake or instagramming a picture of themselves at the beach.
Now, I'm not trying to say to say that this empowerment/disempowerment scale is totally useless. It is incredibly handy for figuring out our communal values and informing our activism in this age of choice feminism.
But the way the empowerment/disempowerment scale is used now, through knee-jerk, mechanical arguments that lack any nuance or acknowledgement of what it is actually like to be a decision-making human being — Michelle Obama is a good feminist, Michelle Obama is a bad feminist, selfies are empowering, selfies are disempowering — it is has become a burden, a thorn in all our sides.

Kaho's Japanese Corner: Natsukashi & Mottainai
Kaho's Japanese Corner: Natsukashi and Mottainai
This first one is a Japanese word that Mere sometimes uses. It's "natsukashi". I love this word. There is no one word translation in English for this word. Natsukashi (na-tsu-car without 'r'-she) is the feeling you have when something brings you back old memories. It has a positive connotation, so it brings back fond memories which make you feel warm inside.
If you hear the 80's music that you used to listen to all the time, what you might feel is "natsukashi" feeling.
When you visit a place you used to live (it could be as recent as a few years ago), you feel natsukashi.
You meet with your friends from high school and talk about the fun time you had together, the feeling you would have is "natsukashi".
You find a book that you used to read when you were little, you feel "natsukashi".
We're leaving Okinawa in a month and I know that the beautiful blue ocean in Okinawa, city, people, music, food and even the hot summer will feel "natsukashi" in a few months.
"Mottainai (mop without 'p'-tie-night without 't') is a great word which explains the Japanese culture. It means "wasteful" and more. Japan is a country of limited resource. The Japanese, therefore, try to make the maximum use out of everything.
If you throw out some parts of vegetables that are edible, some people might say that it's "mottainai".
If you try to get rid of some clothes that you didn't wear much and don't wear any more, some would say "mottainai".
Throwing out left over food is "mottainai".
My 3-year-old daughter sometimes uses a lot of toilet paper and I tell her it's "mottainai".
Your passing an opportunity to have a great experience such as getting accepted to a great school or receiving a job offer from a good company is "mottainai" to some people.
Some people say "mottainai" to everything and end up becoming a pack rat. I don't know what is good. If I don't move, I could become a pack rat. The life style we have thanks to my husband's job allows us to go over our belongings and sort through so that we only keep what we really need. Mottainai—.

Sweet!! I have a Japanese expression to describe my own attitudes towards so much of life (only strengthened by living here) – Mottainai!
I was also thinking "nostalgia" from the get-go of Kaho's description of Natsukashi so I'm glad the point of its use (more exclamatory & emotive) was clarified in the comments.
Thanks! It's not often you get cool words like these from blogs, instead of the pleasantries & survivalist phrases. Keep it up!Josh Murphy
June 20, 2008
Today at Henry's preschool his teacher asked me when his last day would be. I told them next Thursday. She said MOTTANAI! I think she was referring to how much his language is improving. But I understood, thanks to Kaho!
June 18, 2008
My mom uses "mottainai" all the time when no one eats the left-overs. I dread having to go through the 9000 lbs of junk we left back in the states. But I'm sure I'll be thinking natsukashii! when I see all the baby clothes my old uniforms. I agree 100% with Lydia when she says we get the opportunity to take inventory of all of our stuff every few years. I've turning into a minimalist because of it!Kandy
June 18, 2008
I LOVE the expression NATSUKASHII. It definitely does mean the same as nostalgia but it's used in much groovier way. Like and exclamation. Like we would say WOW but when you smell a pine tree because it reminds of Christmas. In that case you can just say NATSUKASHII and it captures all of the feelings that mean THIS IS SUCH A NOSTALGIC SMELL. We would never just exclaim NOSTALGIA the way Japanese people exclaim NATSUKASHII!
It's good stuff!
June 18, 2008
There is a term to describe natsukashi… It would be nostalgia… Sometimes we idealize the past. I wonder if I will ever be nostalgic about PCS times….
June 18, 2008
I hear you, Lydia. Sometimes I think that I collect things to release stress. I love 100 yen store and have come home with a couple of bags full of stuff. Definitely something that we don't need is in there. But, it's fun to shop!Kaho
June 18, 2008
With my family being waist deep into this PCS, I am amazed at how much junk we have in our house. Most days I wonder if it is all just junk and anything we really need. I too am thankful that every few years we get to really take an inventory of all the junk we have so we can get rid of most of it before we stock up on more at the next duty station! I know…..Mottainai!Lydia

New students
Congratulations and Welcome to UCL!
This website is designed to help you to
understand what you will be expected to do during your first few weeks at UCL in order to formally become a member of the UCL
community, allowing you to concentrate on the more exciting aspects of studying
at one of the world's most prestigious universities.There
are three stages to this process: red - Initial Actions (most important), amber - Next Steps and green - Additional Steps. The stages and related tasks are shown on the left of each page.
If you are an applicant and have accepted a place to study at UCL this website will help guide you through the period up to enrolment, giving details of support available to new UCL students adapting to university life and living in London.
Your First Steps
The tasks in red are your first steps on the road to becoming a UCL student, before and after you arrive. Before you arrive, you will be invited to pre-enrol which will give you early access to some of UCL's online services. You will then need to enrol in person when you arrive so that we can check your ID and complete your registration. You will also need to ensure that your fees are paid, details on how to pay your fees can be found on the fees website.
Simply follow the links on the left of the homepage to find out more about these tasks.
Your Next Steps
Having completed the first three steps you should now get your ID card to allow you access to buildings, the library and other services. There are a number of other steps which you need to complete in order to help you settle in more quickly and get off to the best start possible. It is important to familiarise yourself with Portico (the UCL Student Information Service). You should also introduce yourself and register with your department, who will look forward to welcoming you and giving you key information about your programme of study, which may include module selection.
Have a look at the links on the left of the homepage for more information about these next few steps.
Additional Steps
These final additional steps aim to help ensure that your time at UCL is as happy, fulfilling and productive as possible. Registering with a doctor means that you can get medical advice as soon as you need it; opening a student bank account helps to keep your money secure and ease the pressure of living on a budget. Exploring the library early will mean quicker access to academic resources, and students with disabilities can register for specialist support from the Student Disability Services team. Finally, take time to read about the discounts available to students travelling in the UK - we want to make sure that you make the most of your time here, even when you're not studying.
For more details, please follow the links on the left of the homepage.
Welcome from the Provost
"As the Provost of UCL it is my pleasure to welcome you to University College London. You are joining a leading world-class institution that prides itself on being 'London's Global University' and we welcome you as full members and partners in our outstanding university community.
We aim to ensure that, from the outset, your experience here will be of the very highest quality. We have an experienced team to support you through the formalities of becoming a UCL student. Don't hesitate to make full use of them. It is our intention that you will make the transition into being a student at UCL seamlessly, and that your time here will be one of the most enjoyable and fulfilling experiences of your life."

The Politics of 'Bad Shoes'
Elissa Strauss's post on high heels and power opened a proverbial shoebox of worms for me on this fraught subject — a topic that writer Leora Tannenbaum wrote an entire book about: "Bad Shoes and the Women Who Love Them."
It's true that high heels are fun and flattering, and like anyone else, I stop and stare at the windows of my favorite shoe stores. But like Elissa, my biggest beef with heels is that they're seen on so many television shows and on the feet of politicians and cultural stars as thoroughly necessary accessories for power and beauty. Whenever I see Julianna Margulies' "Good Wife" character, Alicia Florrick, strutting across her office floor in a pair of sky-high pumps, I have two thoughts 1) she has great legs and 2) Why do her heels have to be that high? Is it part of the allure of Alicia's character — a survivor, a great mom and someone who has no issues with plantar fasciitis? Would Alicia still be the idol of many female TV viewers if she showed up in an occasional pair of flats to complement her power suits?
The problem, of course, is not limited to fictional characters. Last year, Jezebel's Irin Carmon published an email from a female politician in Maine complaining about the double-standard of footwear and how it feeds into other double standards:
Finding the right pair of shoes that balances professionalism with comfort is paramount for women. Men are not forced into Chinese-foot-binding-style attire and they are automatically taken more seriously than their female counterparts.
As this kind of thing demonstrates, it's actually a serious issue.
Personally, I've had one of those lifelong love-hate relationships with "bad shoes." I never particularly had a yen for girly, strappy shoes of the kind featured on "Sex and the City," but I always had an overly eager eye for funky and offbeat footwear styles with eye-catching patterns, shapes or colors. I frequently bought said shoes and always ended up wearing sneakers or flats anyway because the more aesthetically pleasing shoes hurt me so badly I ended up unable to walk or with my feet covered with blisters. Eventually, I gave up entirely on high heels until I started shopping for them at the comfort-focused Aerosoles. But even those more manageable heels pinch and tire out my feet after a few hours at a wedding or party, and I always throw a pair of crocs or sandals in my purse so, if I feel like it, I can walk part of the way home from any event. I can't imagine having to wear heels to work every day. As Amanda Marcotte wrote a long time ago on the feminist politics of shoes:
A lot of women experience chronic pain because of their shoes. A lot of them have to get foot surgery to reverse some of the effects. And for what? A slightly better calf shape under a knee length pencil skirt? Why is it so hard to relegate high heels to special occasions, and view flats as the only appropriate everyday wear?
That's certainly the choice I've made.

From the research team that's nearly TRIPLED the performance of the S&P 500 since 2003...
We're so confident in these stocks, we'll pay you if they don't beat the market (full details below)...
My staff and I firmly believe that these 10 stocks,
which I'll tell you about in a moment, will deliver market-beating gains
in 2012 and beyond.
That's just a taste of what we like about these
stocks... and other investors seem to agree that these investments are
"must-haves." Year-to-date these 10 stocks have returned
18.3% in 2011, and they've beaten the S&P by a better than 5-to-1
margin. But we think bigger gains could come in 2012.
In our inaugural edition in 2003 our top picks
ideas beat the S&P by 12 percentage points over the course of the
year. And then came 2004... 2005... 2006... 2007... 2009... and 2010 --
our Top 10 Stocks trounced the overall market in
those years as well.
Now, I can't guarantee every stock we
cover will be a winner. There's no doubt we've recommended stocks some
years that haven't beaten the market. And although we've trounced the S&P
in 7 of the past 8 full calendar years, we haven't beaten it every single
But as I said, despite publishing thousands of
investment articles each year, StreetAuthority's most anticipated piece of
research is our annual "Top 10 Stocks" list.
It's a pretty bold statement.
For the record, Warren Buffett's investment firm, Berkshire Hathaway's
(NYSE: BRK-B) holds nearly 95% of its wealth in just 10 investments. And when you start digging, it's pretty easy to see
why Buffett -- and a growing number of investors -- are putting their
money almost exclusively in their top few picks.
Of course, simply telling investors to put their
money in their best investments makes it sound simple.
After years of research, I've found that more often
than not, companies that fit within these three simple categories are the
ones that make you the most money long-term.
I told you a little about Stock #1 at the start of today's presentation.
There simply aren't many opportunities like this
one. It's an energy investment, but it's a far cry from the oil "majors" like ExxonMobil
(NYSE: XOM) or Chevron (NYSE: CVX).
As I said earlier, I think one of the best ways to
make money in the market is to focus your portfolio on those
stocks you think will perform best.
Around our research office in Austin, Texas, we
just call them our "Forever" stocks.
One of our favorite "Forever" stocks is also owned by a
staggering 22 members of Congress. James Sensenbrenner Jr. (R-WI)
reports that via his wife, he has a stake of up to $500,000 of the
stock. And in 2010, that stake earned at least $15,000 in dividends.
Here's the funny thing. When you find a stock that
a herd of Congressmen love... you usually find that some of the richest
people in the world also invest in it. It's almost like there is a
direct link between the two...
It's like having your cake and eating it too.
The masthead price for Top 10 Stocks is $199 per year.
That's because we put an enormous amount of time, money, and effort into our
company's research. We have to recoup our costs.
And more importantly, by signing up through this offer if our Top
10 Stocks for 2012 don't top the S&P 500 during the calendar

A relay league is a chain of message forwarding stations in a system of optical telegraphs, radio telegraph stations, or riding couriers.
An interesting description of these early 19th century methods and its evolution into the electrical telegraph networks of the mid-to-late 19th century is found in The Victorian Internet, a book by Tom Standage ISBN 0-425-17169-8.
Radio relay leagues[edit]
Radio amateurs have been early in arranging relay leagues, as is reflected in the name of the organization of American Radio Relay League (ARRL), http://www.arrl.org/.
Radio amateur message relay operations were originally conducted using Morse code in the first two decades of the 20th century using spark-gap transmitters. As vacuum tubes became affordable operations shifted to more efficient manual telegraphy transmitters, referred to as CW (Continuous wave). Messages were relayed station to station typically covering four or more re-transmission cycles to cover the continental United States, in an organized system of amateur radio networks. After World War II, voice and radioteletype implementations of the message relay system were employed.
