Oh, the weekend... How I long for thee!
The weekend has arrived! We are hoping for nicer weather but as always this time of year there's a chance for rain, especially in the afternoon. We had 1.82" of rain yesterday. There were some nice showers in the afternoon and a huge downpour around sunset. We reached an amazing 70 degrees yesterday and only dropped into the 50s overnight.

Topics in Orbit Equivalence
€ 37,49
Lieferbar innerhalb von 2-3 Tagen
August 2004
BeschreibungThis volume provides a self-contained introduction to some topics in orbit equivalence theory, a branch of ergodic theory. The first two chapters focus on hyperfiniteness and amenability. Included here are proofs of Dye's theorem that probability measure-preserving, ergodic actions of the integers are orbit equivalent and of the theorem of Connes-Feldman-Weiss identifying amenability and hyperfiniteness for non-singular equivalence relations. The presentation here is often influenced by descriptive set theory, and Borel and generic analogs of various results are discussed. The final chapter is a detailed account of Gaboriau's recent results on the theory of costs for equivalence relations and groups and its applications to proving rigidity theorems for actions of free groups.

Ten Common Phobias
Miscellaneous by: angellynn
Status: Finished
Genre: Other
Let's face it. We all fear something. It's common, and 68% of the human race has it.
Here is a list of 10 common phobias.
1- Arachnophobia- The fear of spiders- Did you know that women more than men fear spiders? It's a fact. Women are more likely to fear spiders than men are.
2- Ophidiophobia- The fear of snakes- This is often caused by personal experiences, evolutionary, or cultural influences. That's a well known fact. In some counties, snakes are used for religious ceremonies, and often result in non-lifethreatening attacks.
3-Acrophobia- The fear of heights- This can lead to anxiety attacks and avoidance of high places. Pilots and staff undergo psychological evaluation before getting their pilot license. That's a fact!
4-Agoraphobia- The fear of situations- In which escape is difficult. This phobia can trigger a panic attack. This includes, crowded areas, open spaces,and can lead to a point where they cease to leave home.
5- Cynophobia- The fear of dogs- Associated by personal experiences. Often by being bitten by a dog during chilhood.
6- Astraphobia- The fear of thunder and lightening- Also known as Brontophobia. Tonitrophobia, or Ceraunophobia.
7- Trypanophobia- The fear of injections- Like many phobias, this fear goes untreated because people avoid the triggering object or situation.
8- Social Phobias- The fear of social situations- In many cases, people avoid events, places and people that are likely to trigger an anxiety attack.
9- Pteromerphobia- The fear of flying- Often treated using exposure theropy, in which the client is gradually and progressively introduced to flying.
10- Mysophobia- The fear of germs or dirt- This fear may be related to obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Hah fears...I am a man and have no fear :-)......
But just quietly I do have a slight phobia with numbers
1;2;3 and maybe 8 but no one knows about them :-)
haha this is great. my fears are heights and flying..guuuhh! lol great informational read! you shoulda put fear of flowers up there (i don't remember what the technical name is) just for fun :) haha
I like to "to-the-point" structure of this. Very informative. :)
I have to say that i suffer only from 4 and 8 on your list and can really understand how one can suffer a panic attack once in social gatherings.Spiders no problem i just flip them in to an old bean can with an envelope on top and chuck them in to the yard.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
so my lawyer changed the wording from possession to attempted possession of a fake id, what difference does that make? for example if i were to fill out a job resume, and they ask me if ive been convicted of a dishonest act, do i say yes or no ? or is the wording irrelevant
The difference is the degree of crime. I don't know all the circumstances of your case. If you're convicted of a second-degree felony, then the crime would've been reduced to a third-degree felony. If you were convicted of a third-degree felony, the crime would've been reduced to a class a misdemeanor. That is the benefit of an attempted designation. It reduces the crime one step.Ask a similar question
The main difference is what the attorney above explained. In reference to the job application, truth is usually a safe bet. However, if the truth hurts you, you may want to consult an attorney before answering the question. The way the question is worded can make a world of difference in how you answer the question. For example, some questions ask specifically for felonies, as opposed to misdemeanors. And some questions ask if it was a crime that you got jail time for. So it really depends..Ask a similar question
Changing the charge to an "attempt" should also reduce the time it takes for expungement.Ask a similar question

"We offer the scalability and reliability that SaaS customers like Nulogy need to deliver the best user experience to their customers. We ensure maximum uptime for Nulogy by providing 24x7 hands-on support. Both our support engineers and Nulogy rely on New Relic app monitoring to fine tune performance and optimize resources." — Dan Vu, Manager of Customer Success at Engine Yard
Why New Relic
Risk-free assessment, easy implementation, out-of-the-box value
- Gained visibility into application performance without building a Network Operations Center (NOC) or developing in-house tools
- Enabled smarter capacity planning by providing information necessary for accurate scaling of resources
- Documented compliance with performance-based SLAs, improving transparency and strengthening reputation as a trusted vendor
Nulogy Cuts Average Response Time in Half with Help from New Relic
Founded in 2002, Nulogy solves problems across the supply chain for more than 400 brands worldwide. By connecting partners and managing operations in truly innovative ways, the company's cloud-based solutions optimize the production and delivery of a wide array of consumer packaged goods.
From front end to back end, Nulogy's environment includes a number of high-performance Rails applications. All of these apps are hosted on a distributed Engine Yard platform that combines the Verizon Terremark private cloud with the Amazon public cloud.
Maintaining real-time zccess to supply chain data
At Nulogy, real-time application performance is fundamental to the company's success. "Most of our traffic revolves around business workflow, so the transactions tend to be read-heavy and write-heavy," says James Ho, Development Support Lead at Nulogy. "We need to proactively monitor both the reads and the writes to keep our performance up to par."
At first, the Nulogy team tried developing homegrown tools for monitoring performance, but that proved impractical. "We tried monitoring logs directly," says Jason Yuen, Nulogy co-founder and CTO. "We even developed a few in-house workarounds, but we still didn't have the comprehensive visibility we needed. That's when we began looking at the options available on the market."
"From an app server perspective, New Relic has been instrumental in cutting our average response time in half, even as our request volume has more than tripled."
Risk-free assessment yields instant value
Nulogy found the right solution with help from a trusted New Relic partner. "Engine Yard offered a free Standard account as part of its cloud application management platform," says Yuen. "We figured we had nothing to lose, so we gave it a try. New Relic was exactly what we needed. It was like building a virtualized Network Operations Center (NOC) overnight."
Implementation was easy. The Nulogy team simply deployed the New Relic agent with minimal configuration as part of a bundled install from Engine Yard. "With the online documentation and community support, it was a no-brainer," says Ho. "We saw immense value from day one."
Today, New Relic offers a holistic view of Nulogy's application environment, enabling developers to make informed business decisions for optimizing system performance. "In DevOps, our primary focus is to keep our apps running smoothly," says Ho. "Data is the key to making that happen.
"If our apps are slowing down or crashing, New Relic alerts us and gives us the information we need to find the source of the problem." The custom dashboard plays a critical role in keeping Nulogy team members on the same page. A single interface provides a comprehensive overview of the company's master and slave databases, visualizing a wide range of metrics from I/O utilization to application response time.
Meanwhile, the New Relic Browser enables the Nulogy team to understand performance issues from the perspective of users, and the Apdex feature sets appropriate thresholds for triggering alerts. New Relic alerts are seamlessly integrated with PagerDuty to help ensure fast remediation of emerging issues.
The Key Transactions feature is perhaps most valuable of all. Nulogy uses it to proactively fine-tune slow-running transactions, tracking performance over time to confirm that any change has resulted in meaningful improvement. "With Key Transactions, we can pinpoint our worst problem areas, then focus on whatever requires immediate attention," says Yuen. "That helps us maintain the kind of real-time performance our users expect."
"We work with hundreds of global brands. Many of our clients demand business-grade SLAs to guarantee real-time access to data. With New Relic, we can monitor the availability of our applications and share that information with clients during service reviews, and that level of transparency strengthens our reputation as a trusted vendor."
Achieving greater transparency with superior data
By deploying New Relic, the Nulogy team is able to gain visibility across its environment without building a NOC or developing in-house tools. "If we were to build our own monitoring solution, we wouldn't have anything as sophisticated as New Relic," says Yuen. "It would probably be focused on downtime monitoring, slow query monitoring, and response time. Even so, we'd be looking at two to three months of work for a couple of developers, so the development time alone would be around $50,000."
New Relic provides the data necessary to make significant improvements in response time. "Some of our slower transactions have actually become 10 times faster, because we've been able to implement a more efficient query or rewrite code to use less memory," says Ho. "From an app server perspective, New Relic has been instrumental in cutting our average response time in half, even as our request volume has more than tripled."
With that level of visibility, capacity planning is easier than ever. "We use New Relic to optimize our Engine Yard environment," says Ho. "If one server is overloaded, we can add another. We can analyze database performance over time and adjust accordingly. New Relic gives us the information we need to scale up our resources as efficiently as possible."
New Relic data is instrumental in documenting Nulogy's compliance with performance-based SLAs. "We work with hundreds of global brands," says Yuen. "Many of our clients demand business-grade SLAs to guarantee real-time access to data. With New Relic, we can monitor the availability of our applications and share that information with clients during service reviews, and that level of transparency strengthens our reputation as a trusted vendor."
"We've relied on New Relic since day one," adds Yuen. "This technology is our eyes and ears. If I try to imagine life without it, all I can say is that we'd be in a very bad place."

Q Dear Nigel, Can you tell me what I can do with cider vinegar? It smells good enough, but I'm not sure I know what to use it for.
Michael, York
A Michael, cider vinegar is great for dressing a potato salad, but it is also perfect for deglazing the pan after sauteeing pork chops. Just pour the vinegar into the hot pan after you have removed the chops. Let it sizzle, then stir to dissolve the goodies that have accumulated in the pan. Now whisk in a slice of butter and pour the sauce over the chops. It is possibly the best vinegar to match with nut oils, such as walnut and hazelnut, and is especially suitable for dressing an apple and walnut salad. Try a spinach salad dressed with walnut oil and cider vinegar. I have heard it said that it has the ability to make your hair shine, too.
Q My stepdaughter recently returned from Morocco bearing a bag of lemon ginger powder. It smells delicious, but I'm not sure how to use it - any ideas?
Regards, Caroline Hawkins
A Hi Caroline, How very kind of her. Several people have mentioned this spice to me recently. It is, I believe, a mixture of ground dried lemongrass and ground ginger. The idea of warm biscuits springs immediately to mind. Try substituting your lemony spice for the ground ginger in a recipe for classic ginger nuts or Cornish fairings. Or maybe try it in brandy snaps. The simpler the better - anything more complicated, and you will lose the delicate nature of the spice mix.

The Durham / Northumberland area
Beamish has easy access to the A1, which will take you to Durham, Newcastle and further north to the Northumberland Heritage Coast, where a day can be spent exploring the many historic castles and unspoilt golden sandy beaches. Durham with its ancient castle, historic cathedral and revered university makes it a beautiful place to visit. The River Wear flows through Durham town and beautiful picture postcard walks can be taken along the pathways by the river. One of the most popular tourist attractions in Northern England is the Hadrian's Roman Wall which spans England's peninsula between Wallsend, near Newcastle upon Tyne in the east, and Bowness-on-Solway on the west coast. Derwent Reservoir is also near-by; a 1000-acre, three-mile long reservoir and lies in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the North Pennines. If it's shopping you want not too far away is the city of Newcastle and also the Metro Centre - one of the largest shopping centres in Europe. Durham County Cricket Club ground, The Riverside is a short drive away at Chester-le-Street where you will also find the medieval Lumley Castle. So much to see and do Shutters is perfect for exploring all these areas and more.
- Beamish Conservation Valley is located in beautiful woodland with a wealth of walks and cycle paths to explore. There is so much to do and see and here are some of our favorites to give you a guide for making the most of your stay:
- Beamish Open Air Museum provides the perfect day out for the whole family. Visit the town, colliery, village, working farm, Pockerley Manor and 1825 railway, recreating life in the North East in the early 1800's and 1900's.
- Beamish Hall is set in 24 acres of beautiful grounds. There is a wild birds of prey conservation centre and ropes activity course! You will also find the Stables Bar which has its own micro brewery and great food and wines.
- Tanfield Railway is the world's oldest working railway. The surviving 1725 Sunniside to Causey section is still running, the oldest part was 1647 with over 300 years of coal traffic.
- Several equestrian centres; the most accommodating riding school for a one-off lesson or a hack is the South Causey Equestrian Centre.
- Beamish Woods are directly behind Shutters which are great for local walking there is also the famous Cycle Path which runs from Coast to Coast.

"Superb accommodation and facilities."
Ideally located to visit many attractions in County Durham and Northumberland this cottage had everything we could wish. The personal touch by way of contact from the owners both before and during our stay was much appreciated. The spotlessly clean accommodation was warm and welcoming and it felt as if all the needs of the guest had been fully considered and catered for. One felt at home almost as soon as one walked through the door. Although the weather didn't prove to the best of friends to us during our stay it didn't prevent us from thoroughly enjoying the countryside and the coastal scenery, all within very easy access of the cottage. It would be hard to imagine anyone not enjoying a stay in this lovely cottage.
"Chillin in Beamish"
I now appreciate the accolades this property has had lavished on it. The experience was first class from the get go. The owner was attentive and flexible who allowed our group to drop its baggage off early after a long overseas flight. We were met by an intelligent capable young lady who showed us the ins and outs of the property and provided good advice on what to do where. The property was immaculate. Everybody loved the exceptionally well appointed kitchen but loved eating out in the conservatory even more as we cooked many meals using local fare mainly bought in the Durham Market (fishmongers was excellent). This relaxing property is very quiet and serene enhanced by a beautiful garden with outdoor seating . Durham is very close. Newcastle (Discovery Museum worth a visit) , Hadrian's Wall, the coast, a ton of great golf courses, good local restaurants and Pubs, and of course the nearby Beamish Museum round out more than enough entertainment for even the most discriminating traveler.
Excellent value for money. Location just right for plenty walking with Beamish Open Air Museum.only a ten minute walk away from cottage.
"Back to the blissful Beamish retreat"
This was our second week at this lovely house and we enjoyed it as much as the first time. The setting is beautiful-to look out of the window at the manicured garden and beyond that into the fields with horses is such a delight. The gas fire means that the living room becomes warm and cosy even when temperatures are frigid outside. The kitchen is a wonderful working space and with everything you need. The bedrooms are comfortable and the bathrooms luxurious. We did enjoy the Stables restaurant with private brewery which is just up the road. The communication from the owner before and after the visit was exemplary. I can highly recommend this property for a relaxing holiday in this area.
"Sheer bliss"
A wonderful cottage lacking for nothing. A peaceful location but close to all amenities. A perfect place to chill; comfortable sofas and an enchanting garden. The bed to die for. The finest self catering holiday we have ever taken.
"Brilliant cottage"
There were 4 of us staying in Shutters Cottage in Beamish and we were all delighted with the cottage. It had everything we needed, plenty of space and we couldn't have had a better stay. The communication with Andrea before we went was extremely good and she answered all our questions and provided lots of information for us. We would definitely recommend this cottage to anyone visiting the area.
"Beautiful country retreat"
The house is lovely-comfortable and attractively furnished. The kitchen is huge and well equipped. It was too cold to use the conservatory, but it certainly was an inviting space. The views from the living room and main bedroom are beautiful with a well kept garden and fields beyond. The gas fire meant we could quickly warm up the living space in the evenings. The bedrooms are very comfortable and the bathrooms luxurious. Communication with the owner was timely, friendly and informative. We found everything as described on the website. We did not spend much time in the local area as we were commuting to Durham; both Durham and the Newcastle area are within easy reach by car.
"Fabulous house in a quiet but accessable location"
The Shutters is a fantastic house in a great location. The house more than matches up to the pictures and ad on the holiday guide - you will not be disappointed!The decoration, furniture, fittings and facilities are all 1st class. We stayed in November and the house was lovely and cosy - the gas wood burning stove is a great addition as it gives a direct heat to anyone sitting relaxing in the lounge without the rest of the house being stifling hot. The location is ideal for visiting Northumberland, Durham, Teesside and many parts of Yorkshire. For horse racing enthusiasts, the location is great for visiting many courses including Newcastle(30mins), Sedgefield(30 mins) and Hexham(40mins). The coast is within easy striking distance and would recommend a visit to the Victorian seaside resort of Saltburn by the Sea. A return visit is definitely on the cards.
"Enjoyed a fantastic week in a beautiful cottage in very peaceful quiet surroundings."
Fantastic accommodation. Very quiet and peaceful. Great base for touring and shopping. Was sad to leave. Hope to return next year.
"Well appointed house in a quiet location."
Andrea was excellent to deal with & the property was as good as the pictures show - well furnished, well equipped, warm & comfortable and everything worked perfectly. Central for visiting many places - we went to High Force, Bowes museum, Barnard Castle, Durham, Tynemouth, Angel of the North, Hadrians Wall & Belsay Hall. Quiet location with lovely private garden. We had everything we needed.

Best smartphone of MWC 2014: PhoneArena awards
0. phoneArena 28 Feb 2014, 09:19 posted on
MWC 2014 was a tremendously exciting expo, and that's mainly thanks to the impressive flagship smartphones that got announced. We can easily distinguish three top-shelf handsets that undeniably managed to make the biggest bang at the show. Those are the Samsung Galaxy S5, the Sony Xperia Z2 and the LG G Pro 2...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here
1. xperiaDROID (banned) (Posts: 5629; Member since: 08 Mar 2013)
I knew it. lol
But for me, the Sony Xperia Z2 is the best smartphone on MWC 2014, the second one is the Nokia XL.
10. CanYouSeeTheLight (Posts: 1119; Member since: 05 Jul 2012)
+1 Z2 deserved this award, it uppercuts the S5 in almost every conceivable way, but hey the PhoneArena staff must be hurt so they need a giant band aid anyway.
24. chunky1x (Posts: 270; Member since: 28 Mar 2010)
This is the best trolling by Phonearena ever.
27. mail2eswar (Posts: 15; Member since: 06 Mar 2013)
I also knew it before opening the page. But I wanted to know how PA is going to justify their selection. Now I am laughing. No gimmicky features? PA do you think heart rate monitor is not gimmicky? And what about finger print scanner?...
And apart from these "gimmicky" features, I can't really see any innovation in S5. And what should I say about the design?
Did you guys check the Camera Quality? GSM Arena posted some camera samples of indoors. The quality is worst. It is a step backward from S4. There are no details at all in the indoor shots. The out doors are much better and HDR mode brings out some very good details from shadows. But the details are bad again. There are some very high over sharpening. In the Z2 hands-on, they have posted a camera sample from Note 3. Which looks much much better than S5 sample. Do you call this Camera improvement?
Irrespective of how bad the device is...Samsung is going to be there as the best device in all tech sites. This is how Samsung gains customers.
In my opinion, Z2 is much better than S5 in every aspect. I cannot see single area where Z2 is lagging behind S5.
29. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10457; Member since: 14 May 2012)
It's lagging behind customer experience. If history repeats itself, the Z2 will have a 3200mAh battery but still won't last longer than the S5.
33. Ashoaib (Posts: 3229; Member since: 15 Nov 2013)
How Z2 uppercuts S5 in everyway? uppercut is only in the design n ram rest of all Z2 is getting uppercuts... just wait for reviews on different sites, sony is good in always fu*king something in their phones...
by the way S5 is looking extreamly ugly in gold n blue only and looking quite fine in black n white...
37. Ashoaib (Posts: 3229; Member since: 15 Nov 2013)
I am going to say yes to smurf this time...
39. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10457; Member since: 14 May 2012)
They're too blinded to see that. If they were really "lovers of tech," they wouldn't be so damn one sided. G Pro 2 is pretty damn great, but that UI is dreadful. Z2 is awesome, but Sony always messes up on the software side, in both UI and camera.
40. doejon (Posts: 403; Member since: 31 Jul 2012)
no if it comes to realy usefull features it only can and will be the s5
yes is was disappointed to because of the design but i kinda think in real life
it will be looking good.. and if u look other phones the also dont changed a lot.
LTE cat 4
water recistend
usb 3.0
usefull fingerprint - not just only for lok the phone as it is on the iphone
removable battery
a good camera
and so on..
sorry for my bad english
ans pS: i will take the galaxy note 4 for sure!
45. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10457; Member since: 14 May 2012)
Your English is fine. I understood everything you were trying to say. Design is subjective to a person, but the internals itself deserves to live to this title.
46. hassoups (Posts: 473; Member since: 06 Jun 2013)
That UI is really sad, what's more sad is that they can't seem to optimise their software for their own lenses
47. hboy857 (Posts: 349; Member since: 03 Jun 2013)
Don't worry Z2 still wins PhoneArena's reader awards.
49. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10457; Member since: 14 May 2012)
Especially the lenses. How does Apple, LG and Samsung do a better job than they do when it comes to camera software?
50. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10457; Member since: 14 May 2012)
It's okay. There's always next year.
53. akki20892 (Posts: 3902; Member since: 04 Feb 2013)
Told you samsungarena is coming.
55. hassoups (Posts: 473; Member since: 06 Jun 2013)
You mean 6 months lol... I wonder how it feels to be a z1 owner...
58. Ashoaib (Posts: 3229; Member since: 15 Nov 2013)
and I call it iphon'e arena....
59. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10457; Member since: 14 May 2012)
Because they disagree with your views? Haha I smell bias. Do you?
62. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10457; Member since: 14 May 2012)
A lot worse than a S4 owner lol.
64. hboy857 (Posts: 349; Member since: 03 Jun 2013)
Yes, there's always next year and i agree with hassoups that they didn't properly optimize their software for their previous flagship phones but since with Z2 Sony has tremendously improve their display tech i'm hoping maybe this time Sony properly optimize their software for their own lenses. I'll wait and see what Erica Griffin say in her review.
67. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10457; Member since: 14 May 2012)
+1 for Erica Griffin. I love her.
70. Ashoaib (Posts: 3229; Member since: 15 Nov 2013)
Exactly... lolz
71. jaytai0106 (Posts: 1888; Member since: 30 Mar 2011)
Total bias from Phonearena to award S5 as the best phone at MWC.... Z2 should be the winner
72. PBXtech (Posts: 1032; Member since: 21 Oct 2013)
While the XL from Nokia is a solid device, it's a budget device at best. Can't see giving it second place when there were a lot of great phones introduced.
75. hboy857 (Posts: 349; Member since: 03 Jun 2013)
Yes, +1 for Erica Griffin. Since you love her, did you see what she said about S5 on her first impression video. She called it " Cheap toy".
And what she said about the gold version " gaudy, tacky nasty thing". If you didn't see it. See now. here is the link.https://www.youtube.com/watch?
and if you have time please kindly see what she said about Z2
And i also love her. My third favorite tech reviewer.
76. draconic1991 (Posts: 196; Member since: 27 Apr 2012)
Sony Xperia Z2 was the best smartphone there. Even by the polls that phonearena took themselves.
Its just that these guys are so biased. And so much for s5 that im beginning to think that they are paid by samsung.
77. Ashoaib (Posts: 3229; Member since: 15 Nov 2013)
Its not a bias... they just dont look at the design and mega pixels... they have done all round analysis
79. joonlin (Posts: 11; Member since: 26 Feb 2014)
That is the power bank job. Don't tell me because of the battery last longer only you choose for the S5? Yes, for those who don't mind a plastic built quality. I'm a customer, I want to buy thing that what I pay for. And S5 user is pay for plastic build quality? Ya. Functionality Samsung win Sony, but not Samsung Galaxy S5.
80. CanYouSeeTheLight (Posts: 1119; Member since: 05 Jul 2012)
Really? Let me see, what has Samsung launched after the S4 LTE, S4 Octa, S4 Mini, S4 Zoom, S4 Active, S4 LTE-A and S4 Black Edition. BTW we are blinded? Are you talking about the 80% that said they didn't like the S5?
81. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10457; Member since: 14 May 2012)
Most design for separate markets. ;)

I had been with Martlets Hospice in Hove for 10 years when we took the major step of becoming the UK's first hospice to start its own commercial care agency; Martlets Care is a social enterprise that provides domestic and personal social care in people's own homes. As a local charity, the risks involved in starting up Martlets Care were high. Like all hospices, we are known for offering care that is free at the point of delivery for people with life-limiting and terminal illnesses and their families. Would it undermine our much-loved brand to be seen to be charging for services, even with Martlets Care being a separate organisation with 100% of its profits going back into the hospice?
But, even at board level, despite the risks and fears, it always felt like a natural decision. Although it is now of course a major source of sustainable income for Martlets Hospice, like many social enterprises it all began because of personal experience. Like so many people, a number of our staff and trustees had witnessed a frail, elderly or unwell loved one receiving poor social care accessed through the overly complex system. It was the usual story of too many different people coming through their doors, often for 15-minute time slots that did not allow them to build meaningful, continuous relationships.
Our trustees recognised that, with the hospice's ethos and expertise in providing personal and dignified care, we were well-placed to try and find a solution to this mounting social care crisis for our community. A social care agency, providing care in people's homes across Brighton and Hove, seemed like a natural extension of our work. There is already a huge social care industry out there, full of companies running highly professional, tight operations. But somehow, the more we looked at these models, the more we saw that they were missing something; the soul, the passion, the attention to detail. As a hospice, we already knew that the best care doesn't come from mechanical measures of quality and rigid time slots, it comes from respecting and valuing each individual and listening to what they tell us.
We decided to create our own model for our social care agency that was unique to Martlets and based around the needs of the person first and foremost, mirroring the values of the hospice. This was what set us apart from a lot of private social care agencies, which tend to be driven by profit and performance. If we had imitated what was already out there, I'm not sure we would have the service that exists today. However, maintaining the delicate balance between commercial pressures and our caring ethos is a challenge. I have to keep a close eye on the business side of things or there won't be a service at all for our clients; but by the same token, it would be very easy to erode what makes us different by looking externally at how other social care agencies are reducing costs and following suit.
In June this year, four and a half years after Martlets Care was established, we were finally able to access a tendering opportunity and get onto the City Council's list of social care providers. This means that people accessing social care through the Council are now able to choose Martlets Care if they wish. Before this, people in our local area who wanted to be cared for by Martlets Care often lost out because they had to choose a social care agency from providers on the Council's books, which caused people considerable distress. It wasn't a case of us being more expensive than other providers - we aren't. The issue was the overly complex 'system' and its processes, which worked against patient choice. It's gratifying to finally have this recognition and I hope this will help us cut through the red tape and support more vulnerable people in our community.
My advice for anyone starting their own social enterprise is to look closely at your own resources, including your expertise. Central to our success is the team's experience, skills and knowledge in caring for people. Our clients have told me that they find comfort and assurance from knowing that every carer from Martlets Care has been trained by the hospice, and as a result the carers are better in tune with their needs, wishes and concerns as an individual. The fact that Martlets Care is a wholly owned subsidiary of Martlets Hospice - a well established organisation with existing HR, fundraising and finance functions - gave us a number of benefits. It helped us keep our costs down and provided the instant benefit and leverage of a strong and well-loved brand.
However, being so rooted in our community also meant that I had a lot of people to convince before Martlets Care could become a reality. Martlets Hospice was founded by local people, for local people, so we had to make sure our supporters, volunteers, patients, senior management team, nurses and everyone else involved in Martlets Hospice shared my conviction and confidence that the risk was worth the reward. Martlets Care couldn't have come to fruition without their buy-in, which we now have in abundance. The hospice movement began in the UK thanks to pioneering individuals who weren't afraid to do things differently; perhaps we underestimate how much of that fighting spirit we still have within our local communities.
With the support of Help the Hospices, the charity for hospice care, as a sector we are gaining in confidence and finding new ways to reach more people; several more hospices have since set up their own care agencies and other social enterprises. Believing whole-heartedly in your mission, and having the confidence to innovate and take risks, will allow you to turn the seeds of an idea into a reality.
Caroline Lower is chief executive of Martlets Hospice.

Recent advances in maternal–fetal medicine and neonatology have led to unprecedented increase in the survival of severely preterm babies and babies with severe neurodevelopmental disabilities. These babies typically present with multiple neurosensory impairments and pose a significant challenge to neurodiagnosis and intervention. This review will describe some common neurodevelopmental disorders that impact the auditory system and present case studies to highlight the current technologies available to diagnose and treat the hearing problems.

PERVERSE + Team Lucy Meyer Launch First-Ever iconGIRL Sunglasses for Charity
PERVERSE Sunglasses had their first annual iconGIRL event honoring Special Olympics gold medalist Lucy Meyer. They are proud to partner with Lucy and are honored to call Lucy our first-ever Icon GIRL, because she has sparked a movement by moving through obstacles and moving others into action.
Lucy Meyer is an Official Spokesperson of the U.S. Fund for UNICEF – Special Olympics Partnership, the U.S. Fund for UNICEF's Spokesperson for Children with Disabilities, and a Special Olympics Gold Medalist in Swimming.
Lucy and Toni Ko introduced the PERVERSE + Team Lucy Meyer sunglasses to the world at a private event where guests viewed a great video premiering the iconGIRL program, and their commitment to donate 100% of the sales of iconGIRL sunglasses to the charity of Lucy's choice.
Since the inception of PERVERSE sunglasses, their special goal was to award extraordinary girls and guys who are overcoming obstacles in their lives and making a difference in the world. The PERVERSE team met Lucy at a UNICEF luncheon where Lucy was the guest speaker, and knew immediately that her achievements, positive spirit, and passion for helping other children made her a perfect fit for the Icon Initiative.
Last week, friend and supporters gathered together at a cool poolside BBQ with food and drinks at a private residence in Bel Air to celebrate Lucy and all of her uplifting achievements including her help in designing a limited edition pair of PERVERSE Sunglasses. 100% of all sales from these glasses go to the cause closest to her heart – UNICEF.
Lucy designed special edition PERVERSE Sunglasses as this year's iconGIRL, the Lucy Meyer Exclusive Limited Edition. perversesunglasses.com

As a camp hopeful, getting invited to an NBA training camp is one thing but the goal is to survive, making a huge impression on the coaching staff, survive the cuts, and be the last one standing. So far, that is exactly what is happening for San Antonio Spurs guard Wesley Witherspoon as he and Josh Powell are the last two players standing for the final roster spot. And with the regular season right around the corner, Witherspoon is crossing his fingers he will be wearing black and silver for 82-games. "Hopefully, God-willing, I'll be a Spur this year," Witherspoon said. "It's been a blessing being able to practice with those guys - Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili, Tony Parker and Stephen Jackson. They're an older team. They understand the game and it would be a great place for me to start my career." It will be tough for him to make the squad considering the team is loaded with guards. Even if he does make the roster, he'd more than likely would be riding the bench. Moreover, with the team needing size, Powell might have the inside track. But Witherspoon shouldn't fret. San Antonio more than likely send him to the Toros to develop his game and fill in throughout the season if one of the guards succumbs to injury. However, after a stellar showing in the preseason versus the Rockets, (scored 17 points to lead the team) and averaging 8.3 points, 2.0 rebounds, and shooting 64% from the field in 15.7 minutes per game, he may see his hopes become reality. What do you have to say Spurs fans? Should Wesley get the final spot or should Powell?

| Khal Baharulalam & Siti Hajar |
THE Brunei Government Senior Officers Wives Welfare Association (BISTARI) yesterday held a celebration commemorating the birth anniversary of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) at the residence of BISTARI President, Datin Hajah Asmah binti Haji Abdul Rahman in Sg Tilong.
The celebration saw the delivery of a special lecture on Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) by Ustazah Hajah Zurainah binti Haji Gunung and two donation handovers by the association's president.
A donation of $2,000 has been given to Malaysia's Humanitarian Fund for Flood Disasters, following the series of tragic floods that hit Malaysia late last year.
Another donation in the form of telekong has been made specifically for the victims in Kelantan, Malaysia.After concluding the handing over of donations, members of BISTARI performed a Dikir Marhaban recitation.

The Dialogue Protector
Fin woke early the next morning, and decided to explore the Narrator's house. She crept about, upstairs, opening this door, and that. All the rooms were empty, except one. Standing in the middle of the floor was an elf. He was a cheery looking fellow, and he waved at her, then put a finger to his lips.
Fin went into the room, closing the door carefully and silently behind her.
''Who are you?'' she said.
The elf disappeared. Then slowly rematerialised.
''Said'' he said, then disappeared and reappeared again.
''Sid?'' she asked.
''No, Said,, I said'', then did his disappearing/reappearing trick again. ''I'm magic.'' he said, then disappeared again.
''Well, I can see that.'' she said, as he was there again, briefly, before going again, and coming back. ''You keep disappearing. It's very clever. But I don't get why you're doing it.''
''That's what I do. I'm here to protect the Dialogue.''
''What are you protecting it from?'' asked Fin
Said walked to a cupboard in the corner of the room, unlocked it, and opened the door a crack. ''Them.'' he said, doing his trick again. Fin peered into the darkness. She saw faint movement.
''I can't see. What's in there?'' asked Fin.
''Hold on.'' said Said, briefly, then reached in with his hand, and withdrew it, holding something which was squirming. ''This is one of them. He's a Bad Speech Tag, also known as a Said Bookism. Actually, he's one of the worst offenders. We have to keep him under lock and key. Tell the girl your name, little one.''
Fin looked at the creature. It was a tiny goblin-like entity, with sharp, clawed hands and an angry expression.
''You know very well, Said, I exclaimed.'' exclaimed the creature. Said flinched, and Fin felt a pain in her head.
''Ouch!'' said Fin. ''What just happened?''
''I'll put him back, and show you another example.'' He opened the door, and threw the little monster in. ''Now, where are you, Urged?'' He thrust his hand into the depths of the cupboard, and brought out another tiny goblin.
''Put me back, I urged.'' urged the newcomer. Said flinched again, and Fin felt the pain in her head.
''That's terrible. Put him back. I don't like him.'' Said opened the door, to put the goblin back, and Fin was dismayed to see two other little monsters bolt out of the darkness and scurry across the room, into the opposite corner, where they huddled together.
''Quick! Catch them.'' said Said. ''The Narrator will be furious if he finds out they've been out. I'm not even supposed to show them to anyone.''
Fin walked into the corner, where the two ugly things seemed to be having a conversation.
''Free at last, I ejaculated!'' ejaculated the first. Fin clutched her head, in agony.
''Yes, that'll show him, I sneered,'' sneered the other.
''Ow! Stop! Please put them back. '' said Fin. ''I can't bear it.''
Said appeared next to them, with a small fishing net. He brought the net down over the chattering creatures, and scooped them into his hand, with a swift, deft movement, then threw them back into the cupboard, this time, locking the door. He rubbed his hands.
''You see why I have to guard them so carefully. If you don't watch them, they creep into every fictional conversation, ruining good writing.'' said Said, vanishing again.
When he reappeared, Fin opened her mouth to ask him again why he kept doing that, but at that moment, the door opened and the Narrator walked in.
''Ah, Fin. I see you've met my right hand man.'' he said. Fin looked at Said. His face was bright red and he was looking down, sheepishly.
''Have you been showing Fin our prisoners, Said?'' asked The Narrator, with a conspiratorial grin in Fin's direction. Said nodded slowly, twice. He looked as if he was about to burst into tears.
''I'm sorry.'' he said, fading from sight, rather more slowly than usual, and reappearing just as hesitantly. ''I didn't think it would matter, just this once.''
The Narrator looked at him, his expression stern. Then his face broke into a broad smile and he chuckled.
''Never mind, Said. No harm done. I'm sure Fin found it... educational.''
''Yes, I did. Very.'' said Fin. ''Are they locked up the whole time?''
''Not all the time, no,'' said the Narrator. ''We let one or two of them out for good behaviour, once in a while. But they must never, ever be unguarded, or they will run riot. There is one who is allowed to come and go, more or less as she pleases. Her name is Asked, and she's Said's sister... In fact, she's around here somewhere. But, like Said, she's very good at staying invisible. As he said this, a female elf, smaller than Said, materialised next to her brother, and patted him on the shoulder.
Two others are Trustees, and we let them out for long periods, as long as they are on their best behaviour. Their names are Shouted and Whispered.''
''But why does Said keep disappearing?'' asked Fin, noticing, as she said it, that the female elf had vanished. ''Oh! I understand now. Said becomes invisible. The readers don't notice it!''
''Yes, Fin, that's exactly it. And that means...''
''That the Dialogue is protected?'' asked Fin.
''You're a very fast learner, young lady. It's protected because the invisible 'said' allows readers to concentrate on the content of the Dialogue, rather than being distracted by the way it's said.'' explained the Narrator. Fin waited for the pain in her head. It didn't come, and she looked at the Narrator. He laughed.
''They're fine in moderation. Later, I'll show you the Adverb cupboard. They creep out, too, and act as Speech Tag Modifiers, which are almost as pernicious as these fellows.'' he said, wisely. This time, Fin felt a slight stab in her forehead.
''See what I mean?'' asked the Narrator.
Fin laughed. ''Yes, I do. Can I visit Said and Asked, sometimes?''
''Yes, of course you can. I hope they'll be your friends.''
He walked out of the room, leaving Fin with her new pals.

Oh My God, It's Hotter Than India
The lady who sold us our ticket has a daughter getting her PhD at UT in Austin. Typical right? When we told her we were moving to Houston, she replied (in a strong Indian accent) "I was there last summer, and I thought to myself, Oh my God, it's hotter than India". Eeekk! And I was complaining that it was 'blimmin' hot' here in Bombay! Yikes!
Huge news here in India right now is that this guy:
Sachin Tendulakar is the best cricketer in the world, and in the history of cricket. I guess he's hit the most runs ever, like the baseball equivalent of a Barry Bonds, not on steroids, on a worldwide scale (not just a sport played in one country).
It's a good thing my husband comes from a country that plays and knows cricket! He's using it as the ultimate bargaining tool. Every time we go to buy something, he starts praising Sachin's efforts, and the salesman immediately loves us and gives us 'better price'! Australia is here right now playing India in a 5 day cricket test match. The Indians absolutely hate the Australians, I think they hate them more than the Pakistanis, and that's pretty bad. Tim's been stooping to the lowest of the lows, pretending to be an Aussie to get some cricket banter going back and forth with every single Indian that can speak English! It's been hilarious. They love it, he loves it. I'm just looking for the next 'best price'!
Picked up this little gem for the train ride! LOVE that there is Indian Vogue! I want to get Indian Bridal magazines next!
This has nothing to do with anything..I just need to show our friends Kaelen and Jon we found the BEST brownies in India!

Cricket: Our American colleagues are probably asking "what the …." So I thought I should step up to the plate and attempt to describe... When you are used to "bunts, squeezes, curveballs, sliders and slams, not to forget knuckleheads, I mean knuckleballs" then you should warm to a googly, wrong'un, chinaman and a yorker particularly while watching a maiden over. Both cricket and baseball operate on similar principles. Someone throwing a ball - pitcher in baseball and bowler in cricket - to hit a target - invisible in baseball a set of stumps (also known as wickets) in cricket –– while someone else – a batsmen in both games - wields a bat in trying to defend - the invisible target in baseball and the stumps in cricket - and at the same time aiming to score runs!
The someone throwing – pitcher in baseball and bowler in cricket – uses guile, speed, cunning and (maybe spit in cricket and hair cream in baseball) and the defender - batter in baseball and batter in cricket – aim to score as many runs as possible with the best shot being to hit the ball out of the ground – home-run in baseball and "6" in cricket, while fielders – same name in both baseball and cricket - support the thrower - remember pitcher in baseball and bowler in cricket - and can dismiss the batter (same name in baseball and cricket) by catching the ball before it hits the ground or returning it to where the batter is heading before the batter can get there. Simple ...... don't you reckon and that's without a 6 pack, right Joe??
Well if they are that much a like what is the difference? In cricket there are two batsmen and two bowlers operating at the same time and each blower has 6 bowls. There are two sets of wickets separated by 22 yards of turf with a batsman at each end. To score a run batsmen must cross from one end to the other(their choice). In baseball their is one batter and one pitcher and the batter will score a run when they can complete a circle and get back to where they started. In cricket the bowler tries to hit the wickets to get the batsmen out, in baseball the pitcher tries to hit the invisible zone to strike the batsmen out. In cricket fielders can be asked to bowl and bowlers can be asked to field. In baseball the pitcher either pitches or is asked to take a walk, in which case another pitcher is asked to take his place; meantime baseball fielders keep on fielding.
In cricket a batter at the sight of a raised finger will hang his head and walk to the dressing shed. A batter in baseball at the sight of a raised finger will think it's a the bird and charge.
In cricket a game can last from a few hours to 5 days with stops for lunch and tea, when you can have pies and beer without missing any of the game. In baseball you stop for a stretch and stretch at a stop, but for pies - say hodogs and pizza's - and beer you will have to step outside while the games goes on!
Cricket grounds are all different but also alike. In cricket you can play the ball in every direction - full 360 degrees - and the ground - turf - on which the game is played has a major impact given the bowlers bounce the ball. Finally while in cricket we have ducks - some of them golden - we certainly don't have fowls.

The Common Core State Standards Initiative is a state-led effort coordinated by the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices (NGA Center) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO). The standards were developed in collaboration with teachers, school administrators and experts, to provide a clear and consistent framework to prepare our children for college and the workforce.
The standards are based on the highest, most effective models from states across the country and countries around the world, and provide teachers and parents with a common understanding of what students are expected to learn. Consistent standards will provide appropriate benchmarks for all students, regardless of where they live.
These standards define the knowledge and skills students should have within their K-12 education careers so that they will graduate high school able to succeed in entry-level, credit-bearing academic college courses and in workforce training programs. The standards
- Are aligned with college and work expectations;
- Are clear, understandable and consistent;
- Include rigorous content and application of knowledge through high-order skills;
- Build upon strengths and lessons of current state standards;
- Are informed by other top performing countries, so that all students are prepared to succeed in our global economy and society; and

Special teams fuel win
Published: Monday, January 2, 2012 at 6:24 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, January 2, 2012 at 6:24 p.m.
JACKSONVILLE -- Florida senior running back Chris Rainey said it was fitting that the final game of his college career included a blocked punt.
"I love special teams," Rainey said. "That's the number one thing I talk about in practice. I want to be on special teams. I want to do everything possible to win games. And that's what wins games."
Two touchdowns on special teams carried Florida to a 24-17 win over Ohio State in the Gator Bowl. The first came on a 99-yard kickoff return from sophomore Andre Debose, which put the Gators up 14-7 in the second quarter. The second came on a 14-yard return by linebacker Graham Stewart on a Rainey blocked punt, which extended UF's lead to 21-10 in the third quarter.
Rainey broke through the Ohio State line for his Southeastern Conference and UF record sixth career blocked punt.
"I'm just doing my job," Rainey said.
The punt block was initially credited to Solomon Patton, who also was in on the play. After the game, Rainey predicted that Patton will eventually break his school record.
"He's still got two more years and it might be up for grabs," Rainey said.
Debose earned Gator Bowl MVP honors with his 99-yard kickoff return, the longest play in Gator Bowl history. It also was his school-record third career kickoff return for a TD. Debose returned kickoffs for touchdowns last season against LSU and South Carolina.
"It just takes a lot of practice and believing in your blockers and believing in your coach," Debose said. "Our coach really pushed it into us how important special teams is and I take pride in it, being a specialist and going as hard as I can for the team."
Florida also got a 17-yard field goal from Caleb Sturgis and a game-clinching onside kick recovery by sophomore receiver Stephen Alli.
"Special teams was huge," Florida coach Will Muschamp said. "Andre's kickoff return was blocked really well. (Special teams coach) D.J. Durkin does the best job in the country on special teams. Week in, week out momentum changers, (he puts) our guys in positions to be successful. The blocked put was a great design."

Mumbai, Mar 19 (UNI) The prosecution today moved the TADA court seeking permission to conduct ''Narco test'' on Brijesh Singh alias Bhiru, a close aide of underworld don Dawood Ibrahim, for his alleged involvement in the 1992 J J Hospital shootout case.
Special court judge D U Mulla fixed March 25 for hearing on the petition. The court remanded Singh in judicial custody till March 25 following which the Uttar Pradesh police, who had came down to the city to take custody of Singh with respect to a case registered in that state, had to return back without him.
Meanwhile, Singh complained that he had been subjected to physical and mental torture by the Mumbai police. Judge Mulla had sought a reply on the complaint on the next date of hearing.
According to the prosecution, on September 12, 1992, Shailesh Haldankar of the Gawli gang, who was admitted in the J J Hospital's ward number 18, was killed using an AK-47 rifle, the first time that such a deadly weapon was used by the underworld.
In this case, police had booked 31 people, but some of the accused had been killed in subsequent police encounters and gang wars.
The TADA court had already convicted three people -- Subhash Singh Thakur, Surya Rao and Shyamkumar Garikar. Thakur was at first awarded the death penalty, which was later coverted into a life sentence by the Supreme Court. Rao, was sentenced to seven years rigorous imprisonment, and Garikar was sentenced to 10 years rigorous imprisonment that was confirmed by the apex court.

Nuon Chea, 88, known as "Brother Number Two", and former head of state Khieu Samphan, 83, face charges over the killing of ethnic Vietnamese and Muslim minorities, forced marriage and rape during the 1975-1979 regime.
In August the pair were given life sentences for crimes against humanity –
the first top Khmer Rouge figures to be jailed – after a two-year trial focused on the forced evacuation of Cambodians from Phnom Penh into rural labour camps and murders at an execution site.
The pair have been accused of playing a critical role in the "Killing Fields" era, a genocide which left up to two million people dead in the late 1970s.
Former prisoner Keo Chandara, 63, said he helped exhume more than 12,100 skulls from eight mass graves at
Kraing Ta Chan prison in Takeo province, around 80 kilometres (50 miles) south of Phnom Penh shortly after the regime fell in 1979.
"We did not excavate all the pits. I was ordered to dig the up pits … I did the excavation at those eight pits," he said.
The prosecution witness also gave graphic testimony of Khmer Rouge cadres torturing prisoners including a woman with metal pincers and then sulphuric acid.
