A/N: Thank you so much for your patience! This was a long time coming, but I hope it was worth the wait! I really hope the next chapter won't take so long.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Doctor Who, Torchwood, or Sherlock.
John rolled his eyes as Sherlock joined him outside, slamming the door to the first victim's house. "That was a complete waste of time."
"Well, you were the one who allowed Lestrade to pull you all across London." He pointed out as Sherlock once again exercised his preternatural ability to summon a cab.
"Well, he could have mentioned those idiots he calls 'forensic experts' ruined the whole crime scene before he bothered taking me there."
John didn't bother to reply. They were still eight streets or so from the flat when Sherlock suddenly ordered the taxi to stop, barely waiting for the driver to hit the brakes before he was out of the vehicle. After John paid the very confused man behind the wheel, he knew he'd have to do some searching to find Sherlock. He'd been examining the ground next to a police box. John barely spared a glance for it when, without any word of explanation, Sherlock stood, taking one last look before announcing they'd have to walk home, despite John's protests.
"So what now?" John asked after a few minutes.
"We wait for another victim." Sherlock replied curtly. He continued before John had a chance to object. "We need more evidence. What we have is useless. There's nothing to connect the crime scenes besides the puncture wounds." He paused. John waited expectantly. Sherlock shook his head ruefully. "No, nothing else."
There was the sound of laughter ahead. John spared a glance for the pair, walking arm-in-arm. The girl was smiling, trying to get her friend to laugh, based on the half-smile, half frown on his face. There was something about him that reminded John of Sherlock. It was more than the obvious, long coat, that almost purposeful mysterious persona, or the attempt to absolutely not enjoy himself. It was more the lonely look about him, the set of his shoulders, the unconscious swagger. John glanced at Sherlock, but he seemed too lost in his thoughts to pay them any attention.
As they passed each other, the girl bumped into Sherlock. "Oh, sorry." She smiled apologetically. He didn't even pause or acknowledge her. John gave her an awkward smile that mirrored hers. He took a moment to admire the view as she shrugged and caught up to her companion, who had stopped to wait for her.
Apparently, his own colleague hadn't noticed any of the exchange. "There has got to be something I'm missing." Sherlock mumbled.
"There has got to be some reason she brought us here." The Doctor muttered as Rose finally caught up with him.
It took Rose a second to realize that 'she' meant the TARDIS. She gave his shoulder a reassuring tap. "We'll figure it out. We always do." She put a finger to her lips, trying to puzzle it out. "You said this is where whatever got into the TARDIS went, right? Can't you follow the same trail to find it?"
He shook his head. "No, it's too faint. We're out of range for the TARDIS, anyway. I guess we'll have to do some old-fashioned detective work."
She grinned. "What, like Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson?"
"I am a fan of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's work." He admitted.
"So, what would Sherlock Holmes do, then?"
He shoved his hands into the pockets of his coat. "The devil's in the detail."
Well, that wasn't enigmatic at all. Rose was hesitant to bring it up, but she had a feeling that the crime scene had something to do with his current mood. Based on his earlier reaction, it probably wasn't wise to mention it just yet, so she decided to try and cheer him up.
"Does that make you Watson?"
The Doctor looked horrified. "What? Why am I the side-kick?"
"You're the Doctor!"
"Yeah, but not that kind," He sniffed disdainfully. "I'm always the center of attention. The whole universe revolves around me, remember? I am definitely Sherlock Holmes."
His words reminded her of another man, one who wore leather and had wrinkles around his eyes that deepened when he laughed, which had never been enough. Rose felt her smile slipping, and pushed those thoughts away, chastising herself. He was right here, her Doctor. "So does that make me the Doctor?" She teased.
"I guess it does." The Doctor laughed.
Rose stretched her arms above her head. "Well, no natural disasters, mysterious disappearances or cataclysmic events..." She held her hands before her as she ticked off all the avenues they'd already scoured. "The newspapers don't mention anything strange. I guess we'll just have to wait for another clue."
The Doctor finally smiled- a real smile. "I can think of worse places to spend a day or two." Rose linked arms with him.
"Could be worse. Could be Cardiff." At least here there weren't any black holes, green blobs or conniving former-humans to contend with here.
"Why do you want to see her? She has nothing to do with the investigation."
Sherlock glared at Lestrade. "She has everything to do with it. She was attacked by the same person. I'm sure of it. If I could just speak to her-"
The Detective Inspector sighed. "How's this then- Why should I subject a child recovering from Leukemia to your charming personality?"
"Because two people are dead and by next week it could be four if the trend continues."
"Oh, don't go on like you actually care!" Lestrade scoffed, leaning back in his chair. "We all know better."
A few tense moments passed with Sherlock staring at him intently, as if he might change his mind. When it was obvious that wasn't going to happen, he huffed indignantly. "Worth a try."
John sighed from his post by the door. This was getting them nowhere. Sherlock had been so engrossed in this case he'd even neglected to share his insights with him. All John knew for certain was that this eight year old girl reported being attacked by an animal- the next day, her cancer was simply gone. How Sherlock had heard of the incident, let alone enough to convince him it was related, was anyone's guess.
"Look, it can't hurt, can it?" John asked.
"You should know better than anyone what he's like! How you live with him is anyone's guess."
"The therapy helps." John replied, ignoring the look Sherlock gave him.
The DI leaned forward, making the wheels of his chair snap sharply on the linoleum. "Fine. All right, all right. Donovan will give you the details." The I-got-my-way-again smirk that crossed Sherlock's lips was only typical, and once again John gave Lestrade an apologetic glance as they turned to leave the room. "So help me, if I hear you've given her a heart attack I'm banning you from every public building in a five-mile radius!" He called after them.
"Bit of an overreaction," Sherlock muttered irritably.
John shrugged. "Bit, yeah." He paused. "A lifetime ban seems more realistic."
His flatmate simply scoffed and walked ahead, completely ignoring Donovan. John took the paper from her, ignored her usual insult, and prayed that Sherlock didn't get into the taxi without him this time.
"Did you see?"
"Nah, it can't be! I heard he has a bigger nose."
"Don't be silly, he's all over the papers these days."
"I heard it from my mate Ashley on the third floor. Saw him with her own eyes when he did that bombing case in Manchester."
The nurses jumped when John cleared his throat loudly. Almost identical expressions of shock and guilt sharpened when they got a good look at him. He decided it must have nothing to do with him.
"We're here to see Diana Morrison."
The older nurse's eyes widened. "I knew it! You're with that Sherlock Holmes, aren't you?"
Every instinct told him to lie. But with two possibly psychotic women staring him down, his lips moved before he could decide what to do. "Uh... yes. More or less." Feeling very suddenly like a small mammal before birds of prey he tried to backpedal. "Not... That is- I meant- We aren't-"
Sudden warmth at his back made him freeze. An all-too-familiar scoff filled his left ear and the rumble of Sherlock's voice did not help his sudden hyper-awareness. "They have no idea who she is, John. We should go to the other desk."
"Wait! Is it true, then? What they said about you two?"
"What did they say?"
The other nurse stepped forward. "Everyone's talking about it. Famous detective, living with his assistant, never goes out on dates-"
John wished he hadn't asked.
"Really, you're not hiding it very well. I mean, avoiding the topic only proves there's something you don't want to say-"
"Speaking of hiding things, have you told your fiance about your affair?" Sherlock cut in.
A moment of shocked silence followed, and the older nurse's left hand immediately went to her chest protectively. "You mean me?"
"It's been long enough, three to four years. He's going to wonder about the pay raises eventually. You're only putting off the inevitable. After all, even someone like you who fancies they're clever can't hide what's glaringly obvious, even from those idiots who claim to be private detectives."
"De- detectives? Did James-?"
"No, but it won't be long now. I can guarantee it."
The other nurse began to recover and jumped to her co-worker's defense. "It's rubbish, Ginny. He's all talk, some kind of publicity stunt."
The cold air on his neck made him turn. Sherlock was already halfway down the hall. "Tell you what, if her lover isn'tyour boyfriend, then I'll admit I'm a fraud." he called back.
John didn't take the time to see the nurses' reactions. The sound of yelling reached them when they entered the lift. Once the doors shut the silence was tense and uncomfortable. It was a relief when they opened again, revealing an open waiting room and hopefully far more hospitable people.
With the correct room number, they were finally back on track. John had only just convinced himself to focus on the problem at hand and not think about Sherlock's odd behavior downstairs when he was pushed into the wall.
"Oh! I'm so sorry. Are you okay?"
"Fine." John grunted. "It's nothing-"
"Honestly, I've been so clumsy today, nearly- Wait. It's you!"
They stared at each other for a moment, and sure enough, he knew her. Blonde, brown eyes, and walking around with someone with enough enigma to rival Sherlock's pride. John smiled pleasantly, an automatic reaction. "Right. What are the odds?" He took a second look. "Must be my lucky day." He added.
She paused as well, looking him up and down, smiling brilliantly, and tucked her hair behind her ear. "Right, it must be," she said, cheekily.
"Oh for God's sake-" Sherlock cut in.
"And who is this?" She asked, gesturing to Sherlock, who did not seem to appreciate the situation at all.
"Oh, don't mind him. You know- this might seem forward, but-"
Her companion from earlier was suddenly at her side, hand on her arm. "Put your eyes back in your head, soldier."
John's eyes finally left the woman to stare at the man in complete shock. "What? Sorry, how did you-"
"Don't mind him." She cut in.
"Well, your stature clearly reads military, for one-"
"Stop showing off. That was a joke, all right? You don't have to actually-"
He ignored her. "That's not to mention the way you walk, the haircut, the way you clearly ogled Rose-"
John turned back to her. "Rose. So, that's your name. I was wondering how long it would take me to find out."
"Well, that's not fair. I still don't know yours."
"Look, his name is-"
He held his hand out to Rose, ignoring her companion. "John. John Watson, at your service, Rose...?"
"Tyler." She supplied, shaking his hand. Her grip was firm.
"Pleased to meet you, Rose Tyler."
"Same to you, Mister... John Watson?" She blinked,as if realising something.
John really hoped she didn't read the papers. "Doctor, actually."
Her grin turned decidedly mischievous as she glanced not-so-subtly at her companion. "Uh-huh... The Doctor said you were in the army?"
He nodded, his back straightening of it's own accord. "Yes, 5th Northumberland Fusiliers."
The as-yet unnamed stranger crossed his arms. "Afganistan, was it?" he asked moodily.
"Yes. Yes, in fact. How did you- You know what? I'm not asking."
"That's probably for the best," Rose laughed. "He thrives off attention. So, what rank were you?"
Sherlock sighed, and it was more than easy for John to ignore him, as well. "I was a Captain. Still technically am, seven year reserve and all that."
Her friend was most definitely not happy with the playful tone she used next. "You must have some stories to tell... and I bet you've got the scars to prove it."
John jumped at the opening. "I suppose you'd want to see them?"
To his relief, she laughed. "I'm not that easy. But, I might make an exception for an officer."
His mouth opened to reply, but Sherlock cut him off, his tone cold. "John, if you would kindly remove your mind from your genital area, I need your assistance for a moment."
Rose glanced at them, then at her companion. "Oh." She said, her face falling a bit, "Are you two... together?"
John nearly panicked. "No!" Remembering where they were, he lowered his voice. "No. I mean, no. We live together, but we're not... together."
"Oh. That's great, then."
The man beside Rose scoffed. "Not for long."
The comment earned him a sharp jab in the ribs. "Shut it, you." Rose hissed.
"All right, that's enough. There's no time for this." Surely there could only be one Sherlock personality type in the world. Who would curse them with two? "I'm the Doctor. This is Rose Tyler. We're all introduced, now. Are you here to see Diana as well? Lovely girl, really. Doesn't like cats though, best not to bring them up in conversation."
"You'll have to wait until later to visit." Sherlock replied. "I'm here on behalf of Detective Inspector Lestrade-"
"Oh, what a coincidence! Me too!" Before anyone could demand it, he handed his papers out for Sherlock to inspect. He held them for a few scant seconds before returning them to the strange man.
"All the aliases in the world and you chose 'John Smith'?"
The Doctor blinked. "Excuse me?"
Sherlock dropped his pretense of boredom and scanned the newcomer carefully. "Lestrade wouldn't assign anyone else to this case. Besides, you're no detective. Not even a police officer. So, why are you here, really?"
Rose stepped in, looking a bit uneasy. "Oh, we were just leaving-"
"Press! Yes, that's it. And this is Rose Tyler, my assistant. Just wanted to talk to the 'Miracle Girl', that's all." The man interrupted.
There was that smirk again, saying loud and clear how much of a waste it is to try and fool Sherlock Holmes. "Clearly not."
The man barely got three words out. "How would you-"
"No self-respecting reporter would dare sneak into a hospital to interview an eight year old girl after the Leveson inquiry. Tell me, how did you find out about her whereabouts? Did you bug her mother's telephone? Bribe one of the nurses? I know reporters have a lapse attitude when it comes to the law." A small sound escaped John, and it was will alone that kept the words from leaving his throat. Still, Sherlock glared, as if he knew what he'd say anyway. "Besides the glaringly obvious, anyone with half a brain could tell just by looking at you lot." Sherlock took a step forward, his full attention on the strange pair. The girl looked nervously from her companion to the detective. "So, I'll ask you again. Why are you here?"
"That is a very good question," The group turned as one to see a squat woman glaring them down, fingers resting lightly on her glasses. Quickly (and likely accurately) identifying Sherlock as the troublemaker, she crossed her arms. "Well?"
Ignoring the pair, Sherlock handed the woman his pass. "I'm here on behalf of Detective Inspector Lestrade."
She raised an eyebrow, but gave the article back to him. "And what does he want with a sick girl?"
"She's not sick anymore, from what I've heard," he replied smoothly.
"Diana doesn't need any questioning. She needs rest."
A quick glance at her nametag had John stepping forward. "It's fine, Doctor Davies. We'll be quick. And as considerate as possible." He added with a significant look at Sherlock.
Davies looked past them. The man was already holding out the same papers as before. She squinted at them, then huffed indignantly. "Not sure why he needs half the circus. You have ten minutes. I suggest you get a move on."
John followed Sherlock into the small room, where Diana sat in her bed, coloring very carefully inside the lines of a coloring book. Before anyone could speak, Rose had stepped forward. She tilted her head to get a good look at the page.
"Oh, I loved this show!" she gushed. "Just look at you. Where'd you learn to colour that well? I still can't do that."
Diana paused, her hand still poised over the paper. She seemed to be deciding if this person was okay to talk to. She glanced nervously at the rest of the group. "Um, I don't know. Lots of time, I guess." She mumbled.
"Why have you coloured Blossom's dress yellow?" Rose asked.
"Because gingers shouldn't wear pink. That's what Mum says."
"Maybe some gingers-"
"Who's your favourite?" Rose interrupted the Doctor loudly. "I always liked Bubbles."
The little girl seemed to relax a bit. She pointed at the uncoloured character. "Buttercup."
Sherlock sighed heavily. "While this is absolutely fascinating, I think-"
He was cut off as well. "Why's that?"
"Because she doesn't need special powers, but she's still a hero."
"Like you?"
"Yeah." Diana grinned.
The Doctor stepped forward. "I bet you do have special powers. You got better, didn't you?" Diana nodded, suddenly shy. "How'd that happen?"
Rose was looking at him like he was some kind of alien. Either he didn't notice, or he didn't care. Diana glanced back at the woman, who nodded encouragingly. "It was nighttime. I was scared, so I was awake. Then something jumped on the bed. I screamed, and it bit me. When I woke up, I felt better."
"Whatjumped on the bed?" Sherlock demanded. He received annoyed looks from everyone in the room. Diana's mouth clamped shut. "What did you see?" he pressed.
John shook his head. "Just... let them talk, will you?" he hissed.
If John had suggested he date Donovan, he probably wouldn't have gotten a more affronted look. "Are you-"
"Will you shut it?" Rose snapped.
"There's less than five minutes left. We don't have time to waste on-"
The glare she gave Sherlock was a very clear warning. "On what? Being nice?"
"Exactly. We all came here for answers and you're gossiping like schoolgirls. I need the facts."
"And does that include scaring her half to death?"
"Um, excuse me? Right. Argument, not helping." John interrupted, glancing between them.
Without comment, the Doctor turned back to Diana. "You were saying?"
His companion rolled her eyes. "It's okay. We want to help you, that's all."
Diana went from scared to angry in a second. She crossed her arms stubbornly. "No you don't. That's what the doctors said too, but they didn't help me. The bunny did."
They shared a shocked silence. "A... bunny?" John said slowly. "A bunny saved you?"
"Yeah. It jumped on the bed. I was scared, so I tried to get up. It bit me. Then the nurse came, and it ran away."
Rose's friend seemed totally unsurprised by this answer. He was the only one. "What did it look like?"
"You can't be serious," Sherlock glanced at his watch. "Let's go, John. Complete waste of time."
"What? But she said-"
"She said that a bunny attacked her and cured her cancer. I think we're done here."
John caught up to him at the door. "Look, you're the one that was absolutely convinced that this was related to the murder-"
"Even if it was, she's obviously completely useless as a witness."
"It's true!" Diana objected. "I saw it! It was all white, and had big, long feet. It was trying to get under the covers."
That caught the attention of both the detective and the mysterious pair. Sherlock opened his mouth to speak, and the man reached into his coat pocket. A loud voice made Rose jump.
"That's it. Time to go."
"What? Already?" The Doctor complained.
"Yep. Ten minutes, on the nose."
"Eight and forty-two seconds," he grumbled, but he got to his feet.
A few minutes later, they all stood outside the hospital. Sherlock seemed more than ready to leave, but Rose pulled John aside. "Here's my number," she handed him a small piece of folded paper. "Anything you find out, call me, yeah?"
"For crying out-"
"And if I don't find anything out?"
"Call anyway." She suggested.
"Bloody soldiers," the man pulled her away. She waved, and he could just hear him say, "Got a thing for Captains, do you?"
She froze, and from the look on the man's face, her expression was as cold as her voice. "Doctors, too."
There was something behind that, but before he could puzzle it out, the sound of a car door slamming broke his concentration. He looked just in time to see the cab pull away. His phone went off, and the text message read, Whenyou'rereadytowork, I'llbeattheflat. SH
John stood at the side of the road looking after him, wondering why he felt a bit guilty. He dared to glance one last time at Rose. It was the precise moment that she happened to look back, and she winked at him. Maybe it was worth the cab fare.

I'm not 100% sure, but since Spiceworks uses Apache web server, your answer might be in the httpd/ssl folder. That's where the keyfiles are.

"The world needs transcendent leaders whose eyes we trust, whose heart we know, whose soul is rampant in all that they do" - Robert Rabbin.
What does it really take to be a great leader?
As an Executive and Business Coach, I ask my clients this question when setting leadership goals. One of the first steps in achieving success in leadership is creating a vision of what a great leader means for you. This vision, along with a plan, continuous action, courage and commitment create some of the "greatest" leaders.
Many of these great leaders "follow in the footsteps of other great leaders and use coaching to reach their leadership goals. Why? Because coaching is a powerful tool that involves lifting a person's vision to higher sights, raising their performance to a higher standard, and building a personality beyond its normal limitations to its full potential.
So as you set off on your quest to becoming a great leader, here are two steps you may want to "follow".
1. Develop "Double vision" - Great leaders have a "vision" of what being a great leader means for them. They know what it looks like and feel like and they act accordingly by practicing good leadership skills. It also means having "vision" In this case I mean the ability to talk about the future as if it were already here. Steve Jobs often does this. He creates a clear picture in people's minds of how a new product will change the world -- before it's even launched. He gets people excited about the future he sees in his mind. That's an innate talent. Stepping out on a limb like that comes much more naturally to some people than to others. The good news is, if you haven't got that skill, you can develop it!- It's not so much about your own technical expertise as it is about inspiring other people to be better at what they.
2. Become a great follower. Along with the skill of vision and leading comes the skill of "ability to follow". What I mean by this is the ability to identify and follow the patterns of success within your organization-follow the footsteps of others who are "great leaders".
Here is what other great minds say about this concept.
In "Reinventing Leadership", Warren Bennis wrote, "Good leaders should also be good followers. If you're coming up within an organization, you must be a good follower or you're not going to get very far. Leaders and followers share certain characteristics such as listening, collaborating, and working out competitive issues with peers."
In "Launching a Leadership Revolution", Chris Brady and Orrin Woodward, stress the importance of becoming a Performer in leadership development-the need to create a record of performance. "You need to become a great follower, a great contributor."
According to Brady and Woodward, the quickest way of gaining a track record of performance is to master the patterns of success already established in your organization.
Thus, the goal of every leader is to become a "Performer" who successfully works with and master the existing patterns of success within the organization.
As a successful "Performer" you have the knowledge and expertise to help others accomplish similar results. You gain recognition, respect and power in the organization. You have influence, another key ingredient to successful leadership.
Sam Rayburn says it all in this wonderful quote: "You cannot be a leader, and ask other people to follow you, unless you know how to follow, too."

PNE 2 Milton Keynes Dons 2
Both sides had to settle for a point at Deepdale after an entertaining 2-2 draw.
The opening goal came on the ten minute mark as Anthony Kay could do nothing but put into his own net from Chris Humphrey's drilled right wing cross.
The visitors were level just after the half hour mark when an exquisite shot from Jason Banton from 30 yards gave Declan Rudd no chance and ended in the top left hand corner.
The Lilywhites were back ahead before the break as the lead only lasted three minutes, Joe Garner capitalises on a short back pass and Joe Garner scored his first Deepdale goal, slotting coolly into the bottom right hand corner.
A penalty drew the Dons level, Shaun Williams converting after Chris Humphrey had brought down Stephen Gleeson just after the hour mark.
North End, starting with Garner in attack alongside Kevin Davies; and it was Davies who was involved in their first chance, nodding down Chris Humphrey's cross. Joe Garner tried to control the cushioned header, but couldn't get a header away.
The bright start continued with Keith Keane breaking from the middle of the park and firing straight at David Martin in the Dons net.
Simon Grayson's side took the lead ten minutes in. Some great slick passing saw Lee Holmes fed the ball in the middle of the park; he used the slick surface to slide Chris Humphrey in down the right hand side; he drilled a ball across the six yard box and sliding in in front of Kevin Davies was Anthony Kay who could do nothing but slam the ball into the back of his own net.
Davies looked sharp up front and he stung the gloves of David Martin on 16 minutes, the palmed away ball just being hooked away by Jon Otsemobor before Keith Keane could smash the ball home.
A minute later and a long clearance from Declan Rudd got behind the Dons defence and Joe Garner collected it at the Kop end byline. He pulled it back for Humphrey before crossing deep to Davies, but the No.9's header was inches back past the right hand post with Martin beaten.
Just before the half hour mark Garner ran clean through onto Davies' flick; Anthony Kay appeared to pull him back, which if the referee agreed would have surely meant a red card, however, he did not agree and Mark Brown, the match official, waved 'play on'.
Against the run of play the visitors drew level two minute later with a terrific shot; Jason Banton collecting near the left touchline and driving in and firing a shot from 30 yards that went like a rocket into the top left hand corner, Declan Rudd having no chance.
However, Karl Robinson's side were only level for three minutes as Joe Garner capitalised on a short back pass to David Martin, raced in and slotted the ball past the helpless keeper into the bottom right hand corner, for the North End fan's first goal at Deepdale since his January transfer.
The visiting goalkeeper was now under a fair bit of pressure and seven minutes before the break he was almost closed down twice and then caught out of his goal as Lee Holmnes lobbed him from 40 yards, the opportunity ending up inches wide of the right hand post.
On 39 minutes PNE won a corner with a break down right; pressure from Holmes doing the trick again. The wing man took the inswinging corner this time; and Blackpool hero Tom Clarke got there with a bullet header, but this time it flew over the bar from eight yards out.
Within five minutes of the second half Davies combined well with Garner again, the latter heading down perfectly for the summer recruit to unleash a powerful effort from the right hand corner of the box just over the corner of post and bar.
Some superb passing and counter-attacking football followed with Lee Holmes almost bringing about own goal number two; this time Kay conceded a corner from the powerful cross from the left, but North End couldn't convert.
But on 62 minutes the visitors were given a chance to draw level when Chris Humphrey was adjudged to have fouled Stephen Gleeson on the left hand edge of the box and Shaun Williams had a penalty in front of the away fans and slotted it low into the left hand side, sending the keeper the wrong way.
North End had an excellent effort from substitute Nicky Wroe ruled out for offside with 17 minutes left as both sides went in search of a winner.
Patrick Bamford had a great chance to win it for the visitors, when he exchanged a 1-2 with Chadwick on the egde of the box, but he slid his shot with the outside of his left boot past Rudd, but also past the outside of the left hand upright with seven minutes left on the clock.
A minute later and a hand ball on the edge of the area gave North Ends a free kick 25 yards out in a right hand channel. Lee Holmes lined it up and got it up and over the wall, but Martin did well to claim low in the left hand corner.
On 87 minutes it was like a repeat as Tom Clarke got up to meet a Holmes cross, but this time, with the keeper beaten a Milton Keynes defender cleared off the line.
Three minutes were added on, but neither side could get the winner in an entertaining game at Deepdale.

LONDON (AP) Suicide prevention groups are increasingly focusing their attentions online, partly to fight back against Internet websites they say can facilitate suicide.
In an article published Friday in the medical journal Lancet, senior editor Niall Boyce examines strategies by charities to strengthen their anti-suicide messages on the web, fearing it may be acting as a vehicle through which suicide pacts are being formed.
In September, two Britons met online in a suicide forum and made plans to kill themselves together. A few hours later, the pair were found dead inside a car.
Last month, the British group Samaritans introduced its newest strategy on Google: a box with a phone number now pops up whenever anyone types the word "suicide" into a search.
In April, the U.S. group Lifeline also began advertising their phone number on Google suicide searches. Lifeline also hosts an online gallery where people whose loved ones killed themselves, or those who survived suicide attempts, can share their stories.
"We don't exactly know how people go from typing 'suicide' into search engines to suicidal behaviour, but online intervention is essential," Boyce said.
For decades, Samaritans has posted their helpline number on phonebooths at common suicide spots such as bridges and train platforms. "The number on Google is a virtual extension of that," Boyce said.
The organization is also talking to social networking sites, including Facebook, about possible web applications.
However, Nicola Peckett, a Samaritans spokeswoman, warned human interaction is still key.
"You can't just catch suicides by doing a keyword search," she said. "Often only friends or family members who know the individual will be able to tell if somebody's post on Facebook is something we need to worry about."
Peckett said the system would allow people to either message Facebook authorities to decide if the police should be called, or have Samaritans contact an individual asking if they would like to talk.
Experts said there is too little data about whether the Internet encourages or prevents suicide to know which online initiatives would work best.
"Anything that prioritizes the work of (prevention) groups should be welcomed," said Rory O'Connor, head of the Suicidal Behaviour Research Group at the University of Stirling. He wasn't sure if it might be possible to detect suicidal symptoms online, but said people worried about a loved one should watch for any unexplained changes in behaviour.

To add variety to our Wednesday gatherings we have been supported by the B&BC Wildlife Trust 'Nature Improvement Programme', which enabled us to work on a scheme to improve the grassland at Highbury Park.
During August we took delivery of four bales of wildflower rich hay from Eades Meadow;
The lower part of the meadow, adjacent to Shutlock Lane, was treated prior to delivery, this was followed by hay strewing and yellow rattle seed broadcasting a couple of weeks later, we wait for next year to see the results.
Hay Strewing at Highbury
|Four of these bales were deposited at Highbury Meadows
|The bales were then rolled, broken and scattered so that the hay could be hand strewn over the prepared site
|The proposal was sent out for consultation
The woodland season begins with an introduction to managing small wooded areas, with topics involving -
- coppicing (practice and theory)
- tools - bowsaw, billhook, axe
- health and safety
- biodiversity
- species identification
- 'crafting the woodland'
- managing access
- public relations
- interpretation

Suffrajitsu: Mrs Pankhurst's Amazons graphic novel review
Suffrajitsu: Mrs Pankhurst's Amazons
There are perks to being a writer. One of the big ones is that you get to mingle with some pretty damn awesome artists and read their work before it gets released to the rest of the world. This past weekend I sat down with an advance copy of author Tony Wolf and artist Joao Vieira's Suffrajitsu: Mrs Pankhurst's Amazons.
The comic book world is full of superheroes strutting their stuff, but this… this story is something else again. The early 20th century finds Mrs. Pankhurst and her Suffragettes battling the British establishment for their right to vote. Taught the ancient martial art of Bartitsu (in our reality Mrs. Pankhurst really did have an all-woman secret society of Jujitsu trained bodyguards) these ladies know how to defend themselves, and they are not afraid to get a little blood on their petticoats to confront an establishment that treats them as second-class citizens.
By the time I was finished with the first installment of this three-part series (which includes a pretty shocking twist that got me checking my history books) I found myself absolutely beguiled by Tony Wolf's story and the ass-kicking women inhabiting its pages. Joao Vieira's illustrations are beautiful, the story tight and enthralling. I absolutely recommend this and I can't wait to read the next two issues.
Suffrajitsu: Mrs Pankhurst's Amazons will be released on the Kindle in January, but the author assures me that a collector's edition of the three planned stories will be released in print sometime in the future
You can find out more about the project from the Suffrajitsu website here.

text: Philadelphia Zoo Nutritionist Pursues Master's Degree with Logan 02 August 2016 Logan University (0) Barbara Toddes is a zoological nutritionist at the Philadelphia Zoo. She is also a student at Logan, currently earning her Master's in Nutrition and Human Performance degree online.For someone who lives hundreds of miles from the Logan campus, some might think her path to Logan is anything but logical. In fact, it's a path that very few—if any—people have taken. But for Barbara, pursuing a degree at Logan is the most logical next step in her career.Barbara earned her bachelor's degree in animal production from Pennsylvania State University with an emphasis in domestic livestock nutrition. Following her undergraduate studies, she joined the Philadelphia Zoo in 1984 as an intern and has worked there ever since. She later became the Zoo's first zoological nutritionist and currently is one of approximately 25 in the country.In the years since, Barbara has taken human and animal nutrition graduate courses, which led to her interest in human nutrition and its relation to zoological nutrition. Once her children had completed their own college education, she began looking into accredited programs that could lead to certification and a curriculum that was readily applicable to her current position at the Zoo."There are many great programs for training people to be field zoologists," Barbara said. "But there is no clear-cut path for zoological nutritionists because we deal with so many animal species. The Philadelphia Zoo has a large nonhuman primate collection, which includes Colobus and Squirrel monkeys. In fact, those are the same animals typically used to study human nutrition."All of these factors eventually led her to look into master's degrees in nutrition which, after much research, led her to Logan, where she enrolled and began online coursework in January 2016.The Master's in Nutrition and Human Performance curriculum includes many courses that interest Barbara and are beneficial to her career path, including nutrigenetics and nutrigenomics as well as herbology. Relative to the other programs she looked at, Logan's offerings, Barbara said, were much more interesting and applicable to her situation in the zoological community."Zoological nutrition is not very different than human nutrition, but the complexity of the organisms we work with makes captive diet development challenging," Barbara said. "Nutrigenetics may help us understand the variations of nutrient response between species."Barbara also enjoys the overall structure of online courses that allow her to fuse her professional life with her student life. "At first, I wasn't sure about an online degree," she said. "But I've found that Logan's online lectures are the best way for me to learn because you can move along at your own pace."In addition to having the opportunity to choose her coursework and access a plethora of news articles and medical journals in Logan's online library, Barbara enjoys Logan's specific ties to the medical community. "I like that Logan is also a chiropractic college," she said. "I enjoy knowing that, as I listen to the online lectures, the professor is speaking primarily to future doctors."She also sees the value in sprucing up her client interaction skills, which is something she is experiencing through the program. "I've never done the client interaction part of nutrition," she said. "My clients are animals who can't talk to me, so all of their communications come through their keepers, who are parallel to a caregiver for a person who can't communicate their needs. I've come to realize that communication is a huge part of nutrition, which is a big part of this program at Logan."

I was so happy to receive these. They are perfect for making solid perfume, foot moisturizer, and all-natural deodorant. I chose the smaller size to try them out but they also come in bigger size. The pricing is good. I can do lots with these. In fact, I already got an order for all-natural deodorant. I love shopping with Nature's Garden. On my next order I will get some large ones, as well.

The Short Side
The Short Side: Focus On Stocks You Know Very Well
Sir Francis Bacon is credited with the saying "Knowledge is power."
Another sharp soul once said, "The more you know, the fewer opinions you have."
How do these sayings apply to selling stocks short?
The steady accumulation of knowledge and experience by watching and trading a very good stock on the long side may pay off in a big way if you play — at the right time — the same stock on the downside. Why?
If you've put hard-earned money into a stock, you're likely watching its action like your first newborn at night.
Due to this focus, you've become keenly sensitive to the way the stock behaves. And "behave" is appropriate, because it's ultimately the behavior of people that moves stock prices.
When a true leader goes up on a 100%, 200% or 2,000% run, it behaves in a certain manner.
Breakouts from well-sculpted, tightly formed bases yield gains fast. Pullbacks are mild. The stock rests near its 50-day moving average, then goes on to new highs.
On a weekly chart, you see a series of higher price highs and higher price lows — the ultimate definition of an uptrend.
During its run over a 12, 24 or 36-month period, you see a large number of weeks in which the stock does not swing much from high to low and closes the week tightly.
And when the market is correcting, your stock refuses to decline by much.
Ultimately, though, even the most powerful stocks succumb to the forces of supply and demand. When more institutional players are more anxious to sell rather than buy shares, the stock's trend tips the other way.
A short-selling chance crosses the horizon. And if you've followed a stock closely, you'll likely be one of the first to recognize this change in character.
Fair warning: Do not short a stock right after you have sold your shares. As last week's column notes, it's virtually impossible to sell right at the peak, let alone sell shares short at that moment. It's smart to wait for key patterns to form before you hit "sell."
The head and shoulders pattern takes months to form. The late-stage base breakout failure tends to produce a more immediate entry point, but you must still watch and wait.
Cisco Systems[ticker symb=CSCO] was a poster child of the late 1990s dot-com bubble. On top of its big run in the 1990s, it rose 380% from a split-adjusted breakout at 17.07 in late 1998 to a March 2000 peak of 82.
The knowledgeable and objective investor knows that the taller the gains on the upside, the bigger the fall on the downside.
Cisco's short-sale entry arrived when it fell through its 10-week moving average in the week ended Sept. 8, 2000, then dropped even harder in heavy volume. Around the Sept. 4 Labor Day, the market suffered intense distribution. The correction was full-on.
At this point, you are being contrarian by switching from being a bull in the stock to a bear, and contrarian thinking often works well in the stock market. You should be shorting when most investors are still bullish, despite signs on a chart that the smart institutions are getting out in urgent fashion.

Goodell keeps 'his cool' with NFL fans
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell looked like he wanted to tear the tuna out of some of these NFL fans. He had a weird sort of puzzled look. The fans kept chanting "We Want Football!" "We Want Football!", and not even letting him get a word out. He kept his cool, calm, and collect. Watch the video!

The thoughts of my pasta being cooked by possibly foreign workers who had the recipes implanted in their brains and the evident lack of passion in the dishes usually steer me away from this kind of places.
I suppose someone read my mind well when one fine day (I think), I was invited to swing by Italiannies to try some of their pasta dishes, a case to maybe prove me wrong?
A brilliant case of, is it a Myth or Fact?
Is commercialised Italian food really that inedible or is my taste bud just plain spoilt by the more rich, luxurious and authentic flavours that I have been exposed to?
1. Is it really authentic?
Then again, the question asked is, do they really portray themselves as an authentic Italian restaurant? Or is it because of the name of the restaurant "Italiannies – Pasta, Pizza & Vino" which is rather deceiving?
When the question was indirectly thrown out, there was simply no boasting of being pure 100% Italian. In fact, the menu clearly shows that the emphasis is loosely based on Italian ingredients but adapted to suit the huge Malaysian population palates. After all, it is more profitable to suit just my palate or the millions out there who have only heard of either carbonara or bolognaise, and anything that sounds like vongole or marinara is so foreign that one would think they are ordering an alien to chew on?
In actual fact, Italiannies is an American-Italian restaurant that appeals with the traditional and their originals.
So with the myth that they really serve authentic Italian food thrown out, let us approach the food from another angle.
2. Pricing and value for money
Italiannies have always approached the way it operates with emphasis on value for money. Pasta starts from RM20 odd with huge servings meant for really two. With their latest promotion, you can choose 4 types out of a range of 10 pasta dishes to be served tapas sized for RM29.90. In Italiannies, wine is served either by glass (RM13-RM16) or by "jar" (RM60-RM80).
This versus the usual Italian places I dine with? Lets just say I spend more then that.
Fine, Italiannies is slightly cheaper then because I didn't order alcohol but a fresh Lime Juice for only RM7.50.Which tasted kind of good actually.
3. The most important thing; is it any good?
Sad to say, there were many areas that tasted average at best. Then again, don't forget I have been exposed to the non-halal range cooked by true Italians at heart.
Without the use of the distinct smoky flavours of prosciutto, pancetta or simple pork bacon, you are already at a disadvantage.
Then again to my dear readers who can't eat pork, this is a pork free place where they can be exposed to the censored version of Italian food.
Credits given to Italiannies though, as there were attempts to localise some of the dishes with the use of some dried chilies and shitake mushrooms. There was also effort to show class in the dishes like the lamb shank and showcasing their versatility by letting you try 4 kinds of cold/hot pasta at one go.
Let us go through each dish we went through and see if we can pick the better looking apples from the bunch.
Freshly baked bread with olive oil and vinegar
Staple ingredient to an Italian dinner and was actually quite nice to start things off.
The Quattro platter
I was once told by an Italian chef, that Italians loved sharing and he aimed to do the same when I asked him to do a menu for us. Generous serves in an assorted platter is nothing but the norm in a typical Italian Sunday Brunch.
Italiannies have come up with a version that serves fried Calamari that tasted very decent, pizza dough balls with a cheese filling and some tempura zucchini and onion shreds. In the middle, the power gorgonzola cheese and the tomato based dip was generously served as a compliment.
The Californian Shrimp Salad
The salad was refreshing with the mango and orange slices and the light cream cheese crumbles. The prawns though, I would have prefer bigger ones to give the dish a good bite to it; even substantial for some as a main. Although not necessary true Italian, it was a salad that I enjoyed especially on a day when you are supposed to "detox".
The Italiannies Lamb Shank
The sauce was good albeit on the salty side. The mash potato was beautifully flavoured too. Unfortunately when it came to the shank itself, it was hard to carve the meat out. Another two hours or so braising will probably do it better than bad. I have faith that they will fine tune this dish by the time it hits the market.
Did you know that the food are tried and tested among the staff, everyday till it is perfected? I suppose again, another attempt to produce something that will appeal to the public (I suppose by now, I am really the minority).
Finally for the pasta, the ones that I have been waiting for, the whole range that you can choose from then customise which ones you want according to what you like, and voila served unlike stubborn Italian chefs who would only ask you to eat what they serve (just joking).
Back left: Angel Hair Pomodoro – angel hair pasta with chopped red tomatoes and sautéed with garlic in a light tomato basil sauce. Although on the sweet side, it was excellent to start off with, just for the sugar rush to kick in so you can finish the rest.
Back right: Salmon & Lemon Aioli – baked salmon flakes tossed with chilled lemon aioli mayonnaise and baby spinach over shell pasta. One of their cold pasta dish that you can eat like a salad, something new and nothing like the Italian pasta I am used to (not that it is a bad thing, of course)
Front left: Chicken and Mushroom – Shitake mushrooms sautéed with chili chicken tossed with cherry tomatoes & rocket lettuce served with spaghetti. This is a clear example of adapting Italian food to suit our local taste buds. While I didn't enjoy this much, I saw others having a fun time slurping up the noodles like chili pan mee.
Front right: Chicken Lasagna – Layers of lasagna pasta, creamy cheese sauce, marinara sauce with melted mozzarella cheese and baked until golden brown. One of my favourite dishes as a kid, I can only imagine me order all four serves of this, now? I wouldn't mind actually.
Back left: Fussili Pesto and Mushroom – Pan seared shiitake mushrooms served with chilled fussili basil pesto pasta. A cold vs. hot pasta (confused?), I loved the fresh but rather earthy mushrooms.
Back right: Classic carbonara – Fettuccine pasta tossed in light parmesan cream sauce with smoked beef bacon and fresh button mushrooms. At first taste, it was rather alright (then again, the non-halal versions are always the best) but from a taste bud of my halal friend, this is apparently a hot recommendation.
Front left: Clams & Beef Bacon – Beef bacon strips sautéed with fresh clams, onions & clam broth served with fettuccine. More commonly known as vongole, the broth was seafood sweet and tasted again rather edible.
Front right: Shrimp linguine – linguine pasta with sautéed shrimp and served with marinara sauce. The shrimp tails had a good bite to it despite the size and the thick tomato paste was a delight to perk you up for desserts.
Chili Shrimp – lightly sautéed shrimp with dried chilies and garlic over linguine. Again the shrimp was addictive and the use of dried chilies was a familiar flavour as it is used in Chinese cuisine. A good dish to order for your more traditional elderly who rather have their staple diet day in and day out.
For desserts we were served a very rich chocolate and hazelnut cake with a tinge of orange peel and a NY strawberry cheesecake.
The chocolate cake while it had a rather powdery texture, was very rich and when you suffer one of those days where all you want to do is eat chocolates, this dish is for you.

(Pork free)
Verdict: 3 stars out of 5 stars. There are many areas that I am not convinced because there were no outstanding dishes but being a jack of all trades, there were plentiful of choices and everything was rather edible especially for a quick bite in the shopping mall. Once you get over the fact that this is not your true Italian cuisine but something that wants to make a lot of people happy, you can wear a tiny smile like the many others as you dig into the 4 kinds of pasta that you feel like eating. Did I mention that you can seat in the Godfather's table as well?
To throw in a bonus; here are more artistic pictures of the pasta promotion:

Big Pharma Loses Another Leader: Roche Chairman to Retire
Long-time Roche chairman Franz B. Humer has decided not to run for re-election in 2014. Roche says it will nominate a successor for the chairmanship later this year. The successor will also serve as nonexecutive chairman, thus maintaining the firm's established separation of the offices of chairman and CEO.
"Roche is in excellent shape and well positioned to meet future challenges," comments Humer. "This is a good time to hand over to a successor. I am looking forward to the next 12 months, and I intend to perform my duties as chairman with enthusiasm and drive."
Humer, 66, joined Roche in 1995 as a member of the board of directors as well as head of the pharmaceuticals division. The following year he became COO of F. Hoffmann-La Roche, and then in 1998 stepped up to CEO of Roche Holding. In 2001 he took on the additional role of chairman, and in 2008 he remained chairman but was succeeded as CEO by Severin Schwan, who still holds the position at present.
Humer's retirement announcement comes about six weeks after another big pharma leader's long-time chairman stepped down. In late January, Daniel Vasella, M.D., resigned as chairman of Novartis, a position he had held since 1999, and left the company.
"Novartis is solidly on course to navigate the volatility and uncertainties of today's economic environment," said Dr. Vasella at the time. "I am confident in the leadership of [CEO] Joe Jimenez and his top team, the company's strategy with its commitment to innovation."
Jörg Reinhardt, Ph.D., former CEO of Bayer Healthcare, will be Novartis' new chairman beginning August 1.

It is understood the 19-year-old Burnley striker was the subject of a bid by the Bank of Scotland Premier League champions on Tuesday. Lafferty grew up as a Rangers fan in his home town of Enniskillen, Northern Ireland and although he would have no problem joining the Hoops, he will have a long chat with his parents about the possible ramifications of a move to Parkhead.
The teenager, who has also attracted the interest of Liverpool, Manchester City and Blackburn Rovers, said: "I'm shocked about the interest from Celtic. I have to talk to my mum and dad about it. There could be uproar and I have to consider my international career. I'm not sure if it will but I hope not. I will keep my fingers crossed."
In the past, players from the province such as Anton Rogan and Neil Lennon encountered problems with a section of the national side's support at Windsor Park after joining the Hoops.
Indeed, Lennon, a Catholic like Rogan, quit international football in 2002 after receiving death threats before a friendly game against Cyprus in Belfast.
And while Lafferty comes from the other side of the divide in Ulster, a move to Celtic could turn some of the overwhelmingly Protestant Northern Ireland support against the player.
But Boyce is hoping the supporters will not change their attitude to Lafferty if he joins the Glasgow club.
He said: "I hold Kyle in the highest regard and he has a great future in the game. He has made a great contribution in the short time he has been in the Northern Ireland team.
"Whatever decision Kyle makes regarding his future I would hope everyone in Northern Ireland respects it. And I look forward to him playing many more times for Northern Ireland."Reuse content

A majority of Inc. 500 companies are using various social platforms including LinkedIn (94%), Facebook (88%), Twitter (79%) and Google+ (53%), while Instagram (46%) is growing quickly and nearing majority adoption, according to the latest annual study of this topic from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. Inc. 500 executives surveyed as part of the study feel that social networking platforms have a greater role to play than other channels in increasing sales.
In fact, a leading 41% of the executives surveyed at 128 Inc. 500 companies felt that social networking platforms would provide the most potential for increasing their sales over the coming year. By comparison, only about half as many (21%) identified online advertising as the primary sales driver, with even fewer pointing to traditional media (9%).
While those results are fairly similar to last year, they nonetheless represent quite a dramatic turnaround from just 2 years ago, when only about 1 in 8 respondents felt that social platforms had the most potential for driving sales.
Respondents in this latest study appear very confident about the effectiveness of their social efforts, with the vast majority believing social media is effective in building brand awareness (94%), creating relationships with consumers/customers (85%) and generating leads and sales (78%).
With that in mind, it's not surprising that 83% feel that their efforts overall have been effective and that 81% consider being active on social media essential for their business success.
What's more surprising is that even with that enthusiasm about social's effectiveness, concerns about ROI still abound. When asked to cite their primary concerns regarding social media, almost 6 in 10 pointed to ROI, while a majority also worry about the resources they devote and their time allocation (presumably wondering if their returns justify those efforts).
Concerns about privacy (42%), analytics (41%), legal issues (36%) and ethical issues (32%) appear to be of secondary important, meanwhile.
In other highlights from the survey:
About the Data: The study describes its methodology as follows:
"The research presented here was collected in two stages. The first stage investigated which of eight social media tools are being utilized. These tools include: blogging, LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube, and Google Plus. The number of followers and likes were also recorded where appropriate. This data was collected primarily via the company's website where most companies provide a link to the platforms they use. If no link was found on their website, search engines were used in an attempt to capture all accounts. The Inc. 500 ranking, revenue and industry were recorded from the Inc. 500 website. This data was collected on all 500 companies.
The second stage of research involved interviewing a random sample of executives from the Inc. 500 list to gather information about their specific focus on issues such as their concerns regarding social media use, perceived effectiveness, and the relationship between social media use and potential sales. One hundred and twenty-eight companies (26%) were interviewed in this stage.
Those executives responding were a diverse group, representing 23 of the 24 industries on the 2016 Inc. 500 list. Twenty-three percent of the companies that participated in the interview portion were ranked in the top 100. Respondents reported annual company revenues ranging from under $3M to over $100M with 48% of them falling between $3M-$10.9M. Fifty-seven percent of the companies were launched between 2008 and 2011 while 23% were launched in 2012 or later. The most prominent industries were, Health (11%), IT Services (9%), Software and Advertising and Marketing (8%)."

Giannelli ジェネリマフラー
創業の1972年以来、Giannelli(ジェネリ)は一貫してよりモーターバイク用のより良いデザインと機能の ギゾーストシステム生産に携わってきました。Giannelli(ジェネリ)マフラーは、創業者のフリオ・ジェネリ氏と ジョージオ・ジェネリ氏のサーキットレースでの経験と、技術的により優れ斬新なデザインのマフラーを作り出すという 情熱から生まれて来ました。
よく練られたビジネスプランとその高品質はGiannelli(ジェネリ)マフラーの知名度を一気に高め、国際的ブランドに 成長するのにそれほど多くの時間はかかりませんでした。
Giannelli(ジェネリ)はイタリアで走行規格に合致した製品を作り出した最初のメーカーです。 さらにはヨーロッパの厳格なe3規格も取得しています。 今日ではGiannelli(ジェネリ)は世界40ヵ国で販売されています。
Just like a human being, a motor breathes. On one side of the cylinder a valve opens and takes in a fuel mixture that explodes once it's inside. After combustion, another valve lets out the gasses, just like our mouth exhales air after it has been used by our lungs (fig. A).
A motor devours a tremendous quantity of air, therefore it needs a healthy breathing system. The parameters that determine the breathing of a motors are form, length and width of its exhaust system. Changing these parameters, one can optimise the way a motor breathes, and thus the way it performs.
As the pressure wave reaches the end of the pipe, an emptiness awaits: the outside world, with a pressure infinitely lower than the pressure on the inside of the pipe. Shocked by this emptiness, the pressure wave bounces back inside, transforming itself from pressure into depression (which is nothing but pressure travelling back in the opposite direction). Back at the exhalation valve where it started its journey, the pressure wave bounces once more, and shoots towards the end of the pipe again (fig. B).
The pressure wave, ricocheting back and forth between cylinder and exhaust exit, shoots through the much slower gas column as the latter travels towards the end of the pipe.
Every time the two meet while the pressure wave is travelling back towards the cylinder, the pressure compresses the gasses. Instead, every time they meet while travelling in the same direction (towards the end of the pipe), the gas column is dissipated by the pressure wave.
This way, the pressure wave shooting back and forth through the gas column transforms the latter into a sort of accordion that expands and compresses continuously (fig. C and D).
At Giannelli's Research & Development Department, a new exhaust system is tested extensively. Every exhaust is fitted on the bike it is meant for, it is tested, modified, tested again, shortened, extended, and tested again, until it makes the motor breathe and perform like we want it to.
In fact, at Giannelli Silencers, a new exhaust system is never born on a designers table: it is born among welding sparks and the bangs of hammers beating steel. Here at Giannelli, an exhaust system is brought into the world by the oil-stained hands of our engineers.

Walt Disney's "The Last Flight of Noah's Ark" is a dreadful movie, bankrupt of creative imagination-an Identi-kit film, assembled from familiar pieces but with no identity of its own. It's so depressingly predictable that in the last half hour we're sitting there thinking: Let's see ... the raft has put out to sea, so there has to be at least one shark attack and one bad storm before they're rescued. There are.
What's most discouraging about the film is that, with its G rating and Disney trademark, it will no doubt draw large audiences of children. Parents know Disney movies are OK to send the kids to because there won't be any nudity or profanity. But isn't it also poisonous for kids to be exposed to stupid characters, lame-brained plots and humorless "gags?" To a movie lacking the sense of excitement, invention and fun that children's movies should have above all else? Isn't it damaging to expose a child to two hours of dreck?
Going to the movies should be a wonderful, challenging adventure, filled with inspiration for marvelous fantasies. If I was a kid and I thought "The Last Flight of Noah's Ark" was what I'd find at the movies, I'd be so turned off I'd never go. But do today's kids even know how stimulating the movies can be? If they've had a chance to see "The Black Stallion" they do-and "The Black Stallion" has returned to local theaters this week.
But back to "Noah's Ark." The plot could possibly have led to a much better movie. It's about how pilot Elliott Gould is hired by missionary Genevieve Bujold to pilot a decrepit old B-26 to a Pacific island, where she hopes to start a missionary colony. The plane is loaded with breeding animals, and, of course, with two pint-sized stowaways (Ricky Schroder of "The Champ" and Tammy Lauren of TV's "Angie"). The plane crash-lands on an unmapped island, the survivors run Into two Japanese soldiers who think World War 11 is still being fought, and everybody pitches in to turn the top half of the airplane shell into a raft (thus Maurice Jarre's obnoxiously Insipid song "Half of Me," which is sung twice to no avail).
If any effort had been made to explore the possible realities of this situation, the movie might have been more absorbing. But no. The Japanese are turned into offensive cartoon stereotypes, the kids go swimming, and between Gould and Bujold there springs up one of those Disney relationships that consist of fighting a lot and then suddenly falling into romanticized respect, interrupted by chaste kisses.
There are no high points to the movie, but there is a real low point at the end. The raft is launched, it floats for an undetermined number of days, and then our heroes are rescued by the U.S. Coast Guard! Therefore, they must have floated into U.S. coastal waters. Therefore, they floated halfway across the Pacific and the movie hasn't even gotten excited about it. This movie isn't just boring, it's bored.

However, the report could take several weeks to be finalised.
Officers will continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding her death in order to compile the coroner's report.
They are, however, treating her passing as "sudden" and "unexplained".
A council spokesperson told The Independent that her body, which was discovered at her home in Kent at 1.35pm on Monday, had been transferred to Darent Valley Hospital in Dartford yesterday, and that the examination into cause of death was carried out by Dr Peter Jerreat, a consultant pathologist from the Home Office.

"Arrangements are in hand for the post-mortem to be carried out tomorrow at the hospital," a statement on Tuesday read. "After the results of the post mortem have been received, the Coroner will officially open an investigation and decide whether an inquest is necessary."
The friends and peers of Peaches Geldof took to social media in their droves yesterday to express their sadness at the tragic loss of the socialite and writer.
Among the first to pay tribute was pop star Lily Allen, a long-time friend of the devoted mother of two sons - Astala, 23 months, and Phaedra, 11 months - with husband Thomas Cohen.
"My thoughts are with the Geldof's at this awful time," she wrote. "I hope they get to grieve in peace. Peaches, rest in peace gorgeous girl."
Ellie Goulding echoed the sentiments of many hearing the news for the first time when she wrote: "I don't believe it,' before adding: 'Even if you think you've got it all figured out, some things still can't be explained or understood. Two beautiful children. RIP Peaches."
Fearne Cotton wrote: "I'm beyond shocked and saddened to hear about Peaches. Can't quite digest it. Thoughts and so much love to the family."
Fifi Geldof's Heartbreaking Photo Tribute
Their statements followed an official tribute from Peaches' father, Sir Bob Geldof.
"Peaches has died. We are beyond pain," he wrote. "She was the wildest, funniest, cleverest, wittiest and the most bonkers of all of us.
"Writing 'was' destroys me afresh. What a beautiful child. How is this possible that we will not see her again? How is that bearable? We loved her and will cherish her forever. How sad that sentence is.
"Tom and her sons Astala and Phaedra will always belong in our family, fractured so often, but never broken."
"My beloved wife Peaches was adored by myself and her two sons," said husband Thomas Cohen in a statement.
"I shall bring them up with their mother in their hearts everyday. We shall love her forever."
Her final magazine column, in which she described her "perfect life" as a mother away from the socialite scene, was published yesterday.Reuse content
