Apple iPod Nano (sixth generation)
Apple's new iPod Nano has undergone a complete overhaul
Apple's new iPod Nano has undergone a complete overhaul
Back when Steve Jobs introduced the new multi-touch iPod Nano in September, he joked that one of the members of Apple's Board of Directors was going to wear it as a watch. Naturally, designers immediately jumped on this idea and started churning out ...
Apple CEO Steve Jobs took the stage at his company's iPod event today, the first time he has appeared in public since October 2008.
Arguably the biggest announcement of yesterday's Apple event was the inclusion of a video camera in the latest generation of the iPod Nano.
We all knew it was coming. When Steve Jobs said that there was "one more thing" at Apple's Rock and Roll event, I don't think anyone in the Yerba Buena theater was surprised when he announced that the new iPod nanos would have video recording.

HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
A smarter way to print for busy small business owners, combining speedy printing with scanning and copying, making it easier to produce high quality documents and images at a touch of a button.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
I've had a multifunction printer in the office going on 10 years now. It was a neat bit of kit back in the day -- print, copy, scan, fax -- when printing over WiFi felt a bit like magic. It's seen better days though and an upgrade's well overdue. This HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 looks like it ticks all the same boxes: print, copy, scan, and fax. (Really? Does anyone fax anything any more? I guess it's good to know the facility's there, just in case.) Printing over WiFi is more-or- less standard these days.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
As a freelance writer who is always on the go, I like my technology to be both efficient and effective so I can do my job well. The HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 Inkjet Printer ticks all the boxes in terms of form factor, performance and user interface.
Windows 10 for Business / Dell XPS 13
I'd happily recommend this touchscreen laptop and Windows 10 as a great way to get serious work done at a desk or on the road.
Windows 10 / HP Spectre x360
Ultimately, I think the Windows 10 environment is excellent for me as it caters for so many different uses. The inclusion of the Xbox app is also great for when you need some downtime too!
Windows 10 / Lenovo Yoga 910
For me, the Xbox Play Anywhere is a great new feature as it allows you to play your current Xbox games with higher resolutions and better graphics without forking out extra cash for another copy. Although available titles are still scarce, but I'm sure it will grow in time.

What I'd Give
What I'd give to be lost and never found,
To leave the world behind without loss of life,
To never think of my torment again,
Through the hands of you.
What'd I'd give to lose my mind,
To leave it somewhere alone and quiet,
To never allow it control again,
To think another thought of you.
What I'd give to lose my speech,
To be without the verbal abuse we flung at each other,
To never be drawn into your battle of words,
To never say I love you again.
What I'd give to loose these fists,
Full of anger and rage,
And pain and despair,
The fist that pounded against your chest that night,
What I'd give to lose this face,
The one you saw break into tears,
And smile,
And laugh with you.
What I'd give to lose these eyes,
That showed my pain that I tried to hide from you,
That saw you there,
With her.

Vurdering av denne eiendommen
Très bien situé et hôtes très dispo et accomodants. Very well located and very helpfull people. Thank you very much.
Das Appartment liegt, wie beschrieben, zentral und fußläufig zur Altstadt. Von der Ausstattung und der Sauberkeit her kommt es nicht an die Appartments heran, die wir bisher über Wimdu angemietet haben. Da die Dichtung des Kühlschranks ihren Geist aufgegeben hat, hält ein Klettband die Tür zu. Die Kaffeemaschine (ein Erbstück des Vermieters?) braucht trotz aller Anstrengungen über 20 Minuten, bis eine Kanne Kaffee fertig ist. Die karge Ausstattung des Appartments könnte durch eine Toilettenbürste und einen Besen ergänzt werden.

It's a very good location, close to metro station and local market. Walking distance to many atractions. Thanks to Saki,who took care of us.
The apartament is well located, near Omonia Square where the metro stops. You also can walk to Monastiraski and Plaka. The aparment was very clean but full of stuff (for example, 4 coffe machines in the kitchen) Due to the heat, during the night we prefered to turn on the funs instead of the air conditioning.
There are several places to lunch and dinner nearby.
We didn´t meet Pavlaras but a friend of him, Saki, took care of us.
We spent most of the time out of the aparment, visiting touristic places and we only used it to sleep. It turned out very convenient.
nice appartment very well situed in Athens
near center and all means of tranport
we'll be pleased to come back if we go to Athens in the furture
Very nice apartment in a very good location of Athens. We spent really nice week there. The host was helpful and flexible with time of arrival (we came at 5 am).
Large fridge and well equipped kitchen.
Washing machine!
Could be some more space in the wardrobe or on the shelf for our stuff.
The location is very good to visit the attractions in Athens.
Great location regarding shopping and transportation. Quite well furnished appartment with fine accomodotion and all appliances you might need during your stay. Helpful host when there was questions that needed answering. All in all a fine experience which we truly appreciated.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Very clean and nice apartment.
Furnitures and kitchen equipment are perfect.
The terrace is pleasant (bbq, table, chairs ...)
It is closed from old town (10 minutes by walk).
There is a super market in the street just in front.
Pavlaras and Natalia are very sympatiques and helpfull.

Class may not be in session year-round, but Wauwatosa School District's summer school program is trying to create that effect. And never mind the old train of thought that summer school is only for remediation. These days, students are flocking to its programs for enrichment and rigor.
"We're always trying to find ways to meet our children's changing needs," said Bill Anderson, supervisor of special programming and principal of summer school and also Wauwatosa Montessori school. "Our view is, we can provide some mechanism for (students) to access summer credits without being here every day. We're exploring those ideas."
Under Dr. Phil Ertl's leadership as superintendent, Anderson said summer school has evolved to provide enrichment, acceleration and remediation programming to the community.
Online and hybrid programming has also evolved the last three years. The model is especially popular among high school students who are busy with sports or other extracurricular activities and don't want to be in a seat for coursework.
High schoolers have also flocked to electives offered in the summer, such as oral communication, financial literacy, physical education, online economics and summer geometry.
"I know students are really appreciating those opportunities in the summer that we hadn't been offering in the classes," Anderson said.
Since 2009, the Wauwatosa School District has seen marked increase in summer school enrollment among both residents and nonresidents.
In 2009, 2,470 students enrolled in summer school. That number jumped to 3,089 in 2010, up to 3,262 in 2011, 3706 in 2012 and 3,790 in 2013.
"Our mark of success has been the number of families and students steadily increasing over the past five years," Anderson said.
This year, 125 courses (junior kindergarten through 12) were offered for summer enrollment, and 102 courses are currently running. Enrollment directly dictates which courses will run or not run for the summer.
The students' interest in more rigorous classes during the summer may be the result of an accelerated track that was started at the middle-school level five years ago, Anderson said. Now, "that's coming into the high school level," he added.
There's also special attention being paid to the elementary schools. Last year, Madison Elementary was the pilot school to host a summer math and reading program for students who needed additional support in these subject areas. This summer, the math and reading program expanded to include Madison, Jefferson, Washington, Roosevelt and Eisenhower elementary schools.
"After looking at the data of those who participated (last year), we saw overall improvement in their performance," Anderson said.
The district decided to expand programming to the additional elementary schools to expand the sample size. This summer, 104 students are being served by the program.
"This will provide the district with a sample size we can use to draw more significant conclusions," he added.
But even as summer programming seems to increase in rigor, it also maintains a balance with the best part of summer — vacation.
Depending on the course level, classes traditionally end at either 11:30 a.m. or 12:35 p.m. to encourage student participation in Wauwatosa Recreation Department activities.
"Summer adventure club is set up to supplement summer school," said Mike Wick, director of the Wauwatosa Recreation Department. "If you send your kids to summer school in the morning, adventure club picks up right after at lunch and afternoon activities."

The lighting star
That warm, dusky glow in your favorite date-night place? The sconces in the new boutique hotel you just stayed at? There's a good chance they came from Schoolhouse Electric & Supply Co., the lighting company founded by Brian Faherty. Ten years ago, "most of the lighting I saw was disposable at best," he says, so he set out to create a line of lamps and fixtures—incorporating an impossibly flattering Edison filament bulb—that puts design and quality front and center. schoolhouseelectric.com
Schoolhouse Electric: A history
2002: Faherty searches out and restores a forgotten cache of old cast-iron molds for glassblowing. With 3 employees and a 100-piece lighting line, Schoolhouse Electric is born.
2004: Manufacturing expands to a 10,000-square-foot historic factory in the Central Eastside Industrial District.
2006: Schoolhouse starts using the Edison bulb in its designs.
2007: The Ace Hotel in Portland becomes a client.
2008: Ralph Lauren's American Living puts Schoolhouse lights in its JCPenney shops across the country.
2009: Schoolhouse teams up with Yellena James for its first local artist series (pictured).
2011: Faherty restores the 100-year-old former Pacific Hardware and Steel building on the edge of the Pearl District, and Schoolhouse moves to its new home.
2011: The company launches a home-goods line with 200+ products, including a vintage industrial–style clock.
2012: Sales volume doubles from 2011.

USER EDITORGislef
This is the final appearance of Leo Gordon as Big Mike McComb. He would, however, co-author several subsequent episodes and appear in the 1994 Maverick movie.
Peggy King sings "Sweet and Low, Some Sunday Morning" and "Too Much Love".
Roger Moore makes an early appearance in this episode. He would later rejoin the series as Beau Maverick in season four. For the only time, all three of the principal actors who starred in the series appear together in the opening scene. After that, however, it's all James Garner and Roger Moore, as Jack Kelly returns again only at the very end of the episode.
Events which took place a few episodes earlier in Shady Deal at Sunny Acres are mentioned in this episode.
Hired by Warner Brothers after her March, 1957 "Playmate of the Month" spread, this was to have been Saundra Edwards' first "extended" speaking part. Although she apparently had a pleasant enough voice, WB decided to use another Maverick alum, Adele Mara, to dub in her dialogue.
Arlene Howell, Miss USA 1958 from Louisiana, who had previously appeared as Cindy Lou Brown, appears here as Ladybird, a down home Bayou beauty.
The sign on the outside of the brokerage house spells the broker's name "Schaffer," but the sign on the office door spells it "Schafer." Bates, allegedly a shrewd observer, doesn't notice the discrepancy.
This episode marks the final Maverick appearance of both Diane Brewster as Samantha Crawford and Efrem Zimbalist, Jr. as Dandy Jim Buckley. Although both were gone, each would still be mentioned occasionally and Bart would pose as Buckley in the Season Three opener, Pappy.
Discontinuity: Bart says he hails from East Texas in this episode. However, in the Season One episode, Trail West To Fury, the Mavericks hometown of Little Ben, TX appeared to be located in the western portion of the Lone Star State.
Buckley: Maverick, parting is such sweet sorrow.
Buckley is quoting from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, Act 2, scene 2.
Dan Blocker, who would go on to play "Hoss" Cartwright on Bonanza, can be seen onscreen for about 45 seconds at the very beginning of the episode in a "silent-movie" segment filmed to resemble old-time, off-speed newsreel footage.
The set for the Cantina Americana was originally the set of Rick's Cafe in the movie Casablanca.
In this episode it's revealed that Dandy Jim Buckley's middle name is Aloysius. We also discover a definite difference in Dandy Jim's relationship with the Maverick brothers. He frequently appears adversarial with Bret (especially in The Jail at Junction Flats), but here he's loyal and friendly with Bart.
Jack Kelly's name is seen in the credits as Bart Maverick but he does not appear in the episode.
Bret: What are you a fellow of?
Albert: Of infinite jest.
In his exchange of repartee with Bret, Albert is quoting from William Shakespeare's Hamlet.
Discontinuity: Lord Belcastle doesn't grow any whiskers during the trudge across the desert but Bret Maverick and Albert Belcastle do.
Arlene Howell makes her first of three appearances as Cindy Lou Brown. She sings Fare Thee Well in this episode.
This episode, which opens the second season, marks the first time the lyrics of the Maverick theme song are sung during the ending credits of an episode. Thereafter, the song would appear sporadically, occasionally offering different verses.
Discontinuity : In this episode, which takes place in 1876, we are told that Bret was born on April 7, 1847, but, in a later episode, The Misfortune Teller, Bret says that he was born on May 11th.

TripAdvisor Reviews Iris Hotel Canakkale
Travel Blogs from Canakkale
Troy & ANZACs
... find anywhere to watch the game! Turkey is all about soccer and Canakkale wasnt big enouogh to have an Irish bar! However after a bit of searching we managed to stream it onto the tablet - problem solved!
The next day we went out to Troy which is about 30km south of Canakkale. They have a Trojan horse you can climb up inside! Lots of people say they are disappointed with Troy as there isnt heaps to see ie no tall columns or whole buildings ...
These mist covered mountains ...
... so big we could read them from the ship, imploring people to "Stop Passage". A multi-faceted message meaning, as best I could interpret, 'stop, and remember, and ensure it ends here'.
There was also an arresting sculpture of an old man and a young girl at one of the Turkish cemeteries, with the message: to pass on to the children the story of what happened here, so it never happens again.
But for me ...
... br>
The mountains were huge and covered in scrub, gullies, ravines and natural trenches. Johnny Turk had all the advantages, but this, I have discovered in what led the ANZAC's to keep going, and thus form the basis of the legend.
There was also a sandstone wall that borders this place with the simple gold lettering - ANZAC. The simplicity of this monument struck a chord with me and I was grateful that there wasn't a garish, ...
Galippoli. ... the high ground ridge and sunset.
... for a sunrise experience. However by the time we drove down to the ferry terminal that ferry was full and the next didn't run until 6am so we would have missed the rising sun. Back to the hotel for a slower start to the day with plans to make another attempt at a sunrise tomorrow. Instead we will stay at Galipolli this evening for the sunset.
I couldn't get back to sleep so were downstairs for breakfast at 7. We walk 3 flights of stairs (70 steps all up) each time we go to ...
Canakkle is Beautiful
... almond biscuit and caramel topped custod slice. Raelene declared she will just do desert in future. Tried the local Rakai ... rough spirit (aniseed taste) drunk with water ... I had ice. Supposed to be drunk with a dark liquid 'chaser' that was very salty and quickly discarded. Would have been a nice mixer with coke but that was frowned upon by our guide.
Up to bed about 10pm and looking forward to our first look at Gallipoli Peninsular ...

It seems like every other day we learn another celebrity has transitioned into the corporate wellness space. Recently, singer-songwriter and multi-platinum artist, Jewel, launched a website dedicated to inspiring emotional fitness, with her primary focus on culture within large companies. Along similar lines, Arianna Huffington announced her new venture, Thrive Global, developed around the promotion of physical and emotional wellbeing in the workplace.
Even venture capitalists (VCs) are highlighting the importance of giving your mind a break. I recently had the opportunity to watch Santa Barbara VC John Greathouse interview the legendary Brad Feld. Both entrepreneurs-turned-VCs underscored the importance of doing things that bring you joy -- reading, specifically -- as a means to improve your emotional health, wellbeing and creativity.
But how can entrepreneurs and small teams make space for emotional wellness when there is so much to do and only so many hours in a day? Here are five ways that our team at Salty Girl Seafood creates space for emotional wellbeing:
1. Don't do work on all seven days of the week. When Friday rolls around, plan to allocate either Saturday or Sunday as your day of freedom. This is the day where you just do you. Don't answer emails (I know this one's hard). When we head into a weekend, we give our team a heads up as to what day we'll be checking email. That way, everyone's on the same page. Your brain needs a full day to relax and focus on other things. Do whatever it is you love to do on this day, and you'll find that you're more creative, refreshed and prepared to hit your workweek running come Monday.
2. Have a physical outlet every day (or as much as possible). Studies show that time spent exercising does wonders for the brain and body. I do my best to get a run in every day, setting my course to get at least a glimpse of the ocean when I'm on the coast. This way I'm getting exercise and a bit of "blue mind" all at once.
3. Shape your day around your optimum hours. Also easier said than done. There's tons of research out there exploring what hours are best for us to do X, Y and Z, but the key here is to figure out what works best for you. Different parts of your brain fire at different parts of the day depending on who you are. Along those lines, focus on productivity and accomplishing tasks -- not hours worked in a day.
4. Change your location. Don't feel tied to your desk. If you're feeling stale, stressed or overwhelmed, get up. Stretch your legs. It's good to introduce change into your day-to-day. Standing desks are a great way to disrupt the usual eight hours on your backside, or find an outdoor cafe or a quiet nook in your building to change up the scenery.
5. Make space in your day to enjoy your colleagues. It doesn't have to be an hour lunch break and they don't have to be your office "bestie," but taking time to grab a cup of coffee, take a walk, and get some fresh air with a teammate gives you the opportunity to learn a bit more about the people you're working hard alongside every day. At my company, we love to grab a chai on a chilly day (and we're especially partial to taking a break to share a pastry)!

Who is regulating affairs on this earth today-God, or the Devil? That God reigns supreme in Heaven, is generally conceded; that He does so over this world, is almost universally denied-if not directly, then indirectly. More and more are men in their philosophizing and theorizing, relegating God to the background. Take the material realm. Not only is it denied that God created everything, by personal and direct action, but few believe that He has any immediate concern in regulating the works of His own hands. Everything is supposed to be ordered according to the (impersonal and abstract) "laws of Nature". Thus is the Creator banished from His own creation. Therefore we need not be surprised that men, in their degrading conceptions, exclude Him from the realm of human affairs.

Paper Miniatures - A Day at the Market(Basic Edition)
Between clearing out dungeons and braving the wilderness, a party of adventurers needs to stop in at town to rest up and restock! Being within the walls of the city does not mean that the adventure is over though... There is a lot of room to throw in a challenging encounter while they're in the middle of their shopping sprees and this set of high quality paper miniatures includes a nice variety of merchant NPCs perfect for those situations!
This paper minis set includes an apothecary who can supply the party with potions and oils, a herbalist who can mix up some poultices and remedies, a baker who can supply them with rations and food, a smith to do a variety of metal work and repairs and a pair of clerks who can help them out at any other store they land up in!
The paper miniatures are scaled to 28mm, and will look good alongside most popular brands of miniatures and all manner of 28mm scaled scenery. Each mini has a distinctive front and back, and both sides feature rich and gorgeous detail. The detail is boosted by the high resolution of the PDF, and the colours have good contrast to make them pop at a distance!
The minis are designed with removable bases. This set includes a set of interchangeable bases. Another bonus of this feature is that the flat components are really compact and very easy to store because they don't take up much room at all!
What's the difference between the Basic edition and the Deluxe edition?
The basic version includes just a single version of each mini, giving you 6 unique designs for a nice low price. The Deluxe edition has loads of customisation options allowing for a massive variety of minis, with tens of thousands of unique combinations.
The basic version includes just a single version of each mini, giving you 6 unique designs for a nice low price. The Deluxe edition has loads of customisation options allowing for a massive variety of minis, with tens of thousands of unique combinations.
If I have one, is it worth getting the other?
If you have the basic edition and want more, it's definitely worth getting the deluxe edition too. The minis in the basic edition have been specially created for the basic version so they are unique and can not be recreated with the options available in the deluxe version, so if you have both sets, neither is a waste.

Time for the gossip mongers to take a step back as the couple has proved that everything is fine between them!
For over a year now, rumours of John Abraham and wife Priya Runchal's trouble in married nirvana have been circulating around. Yes, it is true that the duo barely have any pics and Priya doesn't even like being clicked or spotted in public, this time she has chosen to show her hubby some support. The Dishoom screening that also stars Varun Dhawan and Jacqueline Fernandez was held last night at Yash Raj studios and as usual, all B-town celebs attended it to show the makers some support. From Ranveer Singh to Sonam Kapoor, a lot of close buddies of the stars attended the screening.
Among all the celebs and well wishers was none other than John Abraham's wife Priya, looking fab in a black drop shoulder top and denims. We must say that not only did she look pretty but happily allowed the shutterbugs to click her pics. In fact, she even posed with John and let all the mongers find another topic to gossip about as nothing seems downhill here. A source even mentioned how the actor and his wife, who generally is very reluctant to pose for the cameras readily let them click her along with hubby. The source also adds that Priya seemed very happy at the screening of Dishoom.
We got a pic of the same thanks to Bollywood photographer, Viral Bhayani. He shared the image on his Instagram page. In the past, on several occasions (even now, during Dishoom interviews), a lot of personal questions regarding John's marriage were shot at him and tired of explaining how everything was fine, the actor literally gave up and said he'll let people decide for their own as he is done clarifying! Well, we'd like to believe and these pics too give us the faith that all is fine between the couple. Hope we're right about it.

350/290 Base Crate Engine
A Lot of Bang for the Buck from Chevrolet!
The 350/290 is the most popular Chevrolet Performance crate engine because no one can deliver such performance for this kind of value. The folks at Chevy believe that everyone should be able to afford a high quality, high performance Geniune GM V-8 without going broke. The 350/290 Base engine is an answer to those car crafters who demand maximum return on their money. Rated at 300 hp @ 5100 rpm and a solid 335 lb.-ft. of torque at 4200 rpm, this 350 is no slouch.
Chevrolet Performance loaded the 350/290 Base engine with a four-bolt main bearing block, aluminum pistons, and a hydraulic camshaft. The cast iron cylinder heads are designed to be extremely durable while still providing good airflow through the engine. A 2-year / 50,000 mile warranty gives you peace of mind to go down the road without worry.
12499529 Chevrolet Crate Motor
For your convenience we also offer this engine with three levels of completion to save you time and money!

- Click here for this engine + Level 2 Install Kit (P/N 12499529K2)

Note: Designed for pre-1976 street vehicles or any off-road vehicle. Not intended for marine applications. For detailed information from Chevrolet Performance, click here.
To show the potential of this engine, we took an off-the-shelf 12499529 and finished it up with Edelbrock intake, Holley carb., Chevrolet Performance HEI distributor, MSD wires, etc. and took it to the dyno.
After a few pulls for break-in and some tuning of the carb. and timing adjustments, we were pleased to see 333 horsepower and 371 lb.-ft. of torque! With numbers like that, it's easy to see why this inexpensive Chevy crate engine is the perfect replacement, or upgrade, for just about any SBC powered ride.

The leader of Thai's military junta announced on Friday that elections will not be held in the country for over a year, a week after the army seized power in a bloodless coup.
In a speech intended to reassure Thais that the army has a plan to maintain stability and restore democracy in the country, Commander Gen. Prayuth Chan-ocha explained that peace and reforms must be the country's first priorities.
Prayuth added it could take the National Council for Peace and Order, which he heads, up to three months to achieve reconciliation in the deeply divided country, while it would take around a year to write a new constitution and establish an interim government. Only then would elections be held, he said.
"Give us time to solve the problems for you. Then the soldiers will step back to look at Thailand from afar," he said.
A return to democracy will not happen if there are still "protests without a true understanding of democracy," he continued in his first public speech since the 22 May takeover, which aimed to end seven months of anti-government protest.
The speech is not expected to win favour among supporters of the recently ousted government, as it largely offered the same program advocated by anti-government protesters who had clashed with police and occupied government offices.
On Friday, the military sealed off a major Bangkok intersection for a second day to prevent a possible protest.

24/25 Thailand
An anti-government protester looks at a damaged telephone booth after a grenade attack at a protest site outside Government House in Bangkok.

25/25 Thailand
Anti-government protesters making a fist and waving a giant Thai flag, the symbol of the protest, on top of a truck as they rally outside Thai Parliament in a call for the final battle in Bangkok. Protesters marched on many key sites in Bangkok, police fired tear gas and some protesters have been injured. Protest leaders say they are hoping to strike the final blow at the weakened government and usher in a people's council to reform the government
Prayuth did not, however, mention former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who was the main target of anti-government demonstrators.
Thaksin, who is at the centre of Thailand's political divide, was overthrown in a 2006 military coup after being accused of corruption and abuse of power. His sister, Yingluck Shinawatra, was prime minister of the government besieged by protesters, having won a landslide election victory three years ago.
Thaksin is still supported by many rural Thais for his populist programs, but despised by others — particularly Bangkok's elite and middle classes — over allegations of corruption, abuse of power and disrespect for the monarchy. He lives abroad in self-imposed exile, but held great influence over the overthrown government led by his sister.
International reaction to the coup has been largely negative – sentiments noted by the NCPO leader.
"We do understand the world's order, that at the moment, it's the world of democracy," he said, adding: "But let us have time to change our attitudes, values and several other things to solve Thailand's democracy to make it match with the international standards."
Read more: What is martial law and why was it imposed?
The United States, a longtime ally of Thailand, responded to the announcement with concern.
"Certainly we don't want anything to end in chaos. But we think setting a timeline for early elections is something that is not just possible, but it's what the appropriate step is and that that should be what their focus is on,"State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki told reporters in Washington.
Since the coup, the junta has take a zero-tolerance stance against dissent, by arresting more than 250 people, including members of the ousted government and other leading political figures, journalists, scholars and activists seen as critical of the regime. Roughly 70 people remain in custody.
Despite the latest political upheaval, life has continued largely as normal in most of the country, with tourists still relaxing at beach resorts and strolling through Buddhist temples in Bangkok and elsewhere.
A curfew remains in effect from midnight to 4 a.m. but has not affected critical travel, including that of tourists arriving at airports. Prayuth said his government would try to ease it as soon as possible.

To you.
Hey. So, it's been seven months since my last.... letter? Crazy long time, right? Hmm, where do I begin? I've always been the kind of girl to make mud pies and run around with my wild curls. I use to hate painted fingernails and especially pink. I hated pink. I never thought of wearing make-up. Now, I paint my fingernails black and I wear eye-liner and mascara. I still hate pink, though.
I'll wear skirts and dresses, but I never used to like them. Skirts still bother me, unless they are, like, long and flowy. Why am I talking about this? Mainly because I've been listening to my old CD's and I realize how much I've changed. Changed is a good and bad word, depending on how you look at it. It can even be bitter-sweet, depending on how the change can happen or come about.
Self-pity on the other hand, is crap. I hate it with a fiery passion. Like, right now I just had a little bout of self-pity. Want to know why? I didn't have a normal childhood and now I'm not fulfilling living the full high school experience. I'm not in any clubs, sports, and I don't even have a lot of friends. Pathetic, right?
Before anybody says, "Get out there and make it happen!" or "It's okay, don't feel bad."
I know it's only me who can change the situation I'm in. I know I'm the problem. What can I say? I feel an anxiety in my stomach, sweat on my palms, fear in my veins, and a deep well of insecurities. What girl doesn't? Those are not excuses, by the way. I know all the crap I need to do. I know. I'm starting a club with Cassi and now we just have to have a meeting with people who are interested in our group.
One or two steps away from us being a group! I'm truly excited! If some of you guys haven't already guessed, I dated a 17 year old named Joe. I was 14 years old. Joe will turn 18 tomorrow. I broke up with him and at first he kept harassing me to get back with him. I kept saying no. I just wasn't going down that road. Nope.
Also, for other personal reasons I won't even share on this page. Anyway, my grandma went through my phone while I was at school and read all of
Joe's text messages. She asked me about him and I didn't tell her the whole truth. I just told her that Joe was 17 about to turn 18 and I even described him to her. I said he was just a friend and had never been anything more. You can see my lie, right?
The thing is, is that we had been an "item". We never held hands or embraced, nothing. We texted, but the texts weren't dirty. He called me beautiful plenty of times, but nothing dirty. Anyway, everyone but my step-grandpa found out that he was telling me he loved me and everything else. A couple of days later, grandma forbid me to ever talk to him again.
I told him and unfriended him on facebook. I haven't talked to him since. Yep, that sums up what's been happening in my my life when it comes to "romance".
"Dear lord, help me refrain from my own fleshly desires. Thank you!
In Jesus' Name,
This is My Life,
P.S. Jesus is the only
man I trust whole-heartedly.

I recently moved to Ealing but I've lived all over the UK. I have an adventurous family.
I've been studying English, textiles, French and history in south-east London, but soon I will only be studying art.
When I'm not studying, I make costumes to wear to cosplay or for anime events. Cosplay involves using styling and costumes to portray yourself as a character. I usually go as really cute characters and wear frilly things. People often stop me to take photos. At conventions, I have a more girly look, but the rest of the time I dress in more of a tomboy style. It's an opportunity to be someone else.
I enjoy going to conventions to meet other cosplayers. That's where I've made some of my main friendships. I also go to buy things; it's really lovely. There are lots of cosplay conventions in London – I think it's one of the best places for it.
I spend the rest of my spare time doing a lot of art, as well as blogging. I'd love to just spend the weekend indoors, on Tumblr, with pizza, watching TV reruns.
I got my jacket from Primark years ago, but I've completely destroyed it. I'm wearing an Odd Future top – they're a rap group I really like – but I buy most of my clothes on eBay.

Abbie: Friday 3rd January 1851
Friday 3rd January 1851
Lambert Place
My bedroom
Well, here I am, sat in a little bubble of candlelight because the sun hasn't risen yet. It's so early, but I think this will be the only time I have to do this. I never thought I'd do this but I'm keeping a diary. I'm not quite sure when, or even why, I changed my mind about writing down my life, but here we are nonetheless.
I must say I love this book; the red suede is so soft that I cannot help but touch it at any spare moment I have - which are many, seeing as I am not allowed to parties, or any special events. I must at least try to hide my disdain at not being allowed to attend such affairs, no matter how trivial.
Nathan got me this diary. Oh, Nathan! I could go on about him forever, I truly could. I was quite surprised when he gave me the book; he's been trying to persuade me to do this for months, but I never thought he would actually do something about it.
Nathan is the only son of the lawyer who works for Father. There's been something special between us for years, despite me being only thirteen and he sixteen. I'd grown up with his father's visits and occasionally Nathan would come to. By the time I was eight, we were close friends. This diary was Nathan's Christmas gift to me so I shall follow through with his wishes and write in it. This is the one place I will be able to talk about Nathan freely, for it is extremely inappropriate for someone of my age to even think about marriage, let alone everything that goes with it.
What does one write in a diary? I find myself lost for words already. I do not wish to discuss today's weather, for it has not yet snowed, the sky still remaining a steely grey. I could talk about the perfume Father brought me; I cannot wait for tomorrow to come so I can wear it. I wonder Nathan will think of it...
I'm thinking of Father's words from last night: 'Something your mother would approve of'. Now that I think of it, I have no dresses that Mother likes. The last one I had was conveniently stained with tea, and was impossible to clean. I think I put on a pretty good show when I had to pretend I was upset.
Today I'm going to visit my friend, Margaret. We did have plans to go down to London for the day but she took a tumble, slipping and falling down a flight of stairs. Now that she has been freed from the hospital, she is bedridden because of her healing leg. We might play cards perhaps, a particular favourite of hers, along with giggling about boys. Not even Margaret knows about my Nathan. She's met him, of course, but she suspected nothing then and still nothing. Sometimes I long to tell her, simply to see the look in her face.
I must arrange another time for Nathan and I to meet again. I wonder if he's written yet, in response to my last letter.
It turned out that Nathan had replied to my letter. It was brought in with the rest of this morning's letters. Sometimes I think my family suspects something, seeing as I receive letters nearly every other day. In fact, I got an odd look from Mother this morning.
It's late afternoon now and I've not long returned from Margaret. She was feeling well, but not yet well enough to begin to walk around, even a little. I pity her at the moment; I would hate to have to lay in bed all day, meals being brought to me like a baby.
Oh well, I must change for dinner now.

I have twice been to this university and each time I have been amazed by the beautiful gardens. People often walk through the grounds just to feel the serene surroundings.
It is a good place to enjoy the sunset if the weather is great. The backyard of the school is huge but winding. You can see beautiful view with ocean and ships along the winding road. There are a lot of monkeys around sometimes. So be careful to your food in plastic bag and don't feed them!
I agree with the other reviewers. It's great for the sunset and walking around campus. Watch out for stray dogs on the hill.
Nothing very special need a pay a special tour to visit. The scenic surrounding the university is beautiful. Also here is very quiet.
I went to this university! I was always very proud of the magnificent landscape!!!
Come here for an ocean breeze, or to enjoy the sunset!

Traditional phase-resolved Doppler optical coherence tomography (DOCT) has been reported to have potential for characterizing local fluid flow within a microporous scaffold. In this work, we apply Doppler optical microangiography (DOMAG), a new imaging technique developed by combining optical microangiography (OMAG) with a phase-resolved method, for improved assessment of local fluid flow and its derived parameters, shear stress, and interconnectivity, within highly scattering porous constructs. Compared with DOCT, we demonstrate a dramatic improvement of DOMAG in quantifying flow-related properties within scaffolds in situ for functional tissue engineering.
The aim of functional tissue engineering (FTE) is to grow a complete 3-D biotissue coupled with appropriate, biological functionalities for implanting into the body, with the purpose of fostering remodeling and regeneration of diseased tissue.1 To provide a suitable template to support cell growth and to deliver sufficient amounts of nutrients during tissue development, a 3-D porous scaffold is one critical ingredient involved in FTE. Its architectural properties, pore interconnectivity for example, largely determine the interactions among groups of cells, which facilitate cell-cell communications and tissue integrity.2 A bioreactor is another key element in FTE, providing the necessary physical regulatory environment to guide appropriate cell differentiation and tissue development. Mechanical stimulus such as fluid-induced shear stress has a well-known impact on cell morphology and orientation, and is also an important modulator of cell physiology. There is considerable evidence that mechanical stress affects gene expression, and subsequently protein synthesis, cell proliferation, and differentiation,3- 4 and significantly increases the biosynthetic activity in a range of different cell types.5- 6In vitro studies have shown that mechanical stress in culture environments, such as within bioreactors, presents biphasic dose-response characteristics. This suggests that excessive stress force that produces cell distortion may also play a role to switch cells between motility and apoptosis programming.7 To further understand the mechanisms of dynamic interaction between the cell growing behavior and the mechanical shear stress, a nondestructive imaging technique is needed capable of imaging the localized fluid flow and shear stress in situ within the entire porous scaffold (with a typical thickness of approximate millimeters), preferably at a level of the individual micropores. However, such requirements of monitoring and imaging in tissue engineering is difficult, if not impossible, to fulfill by use of current imaging technologies.
Recently, phase-resolved Doppler optical coherence tomography (DOCT) has been reported to have potential to image local fluid flow, and subsequently to characterize shear stress and pore interconnectivity in 3-D porous scaffolds.8 Although promising, the performance of DOCT is severely limited by a background texture noise presented in the system, imposed by the optical heterogeneous property of the tissue sample.9 Most recently, a novel imaging method, Doppler optical microangiography (DOMAG), is reported to evaluate the velocities of blood flow within microcirculatory tissue beds with much improved precision.10 Combined with the phase-resolved method developed in DOCT, DOMAG extracts flow velocities from OMAG flow signals. In this work, we briefly discuss how DOMAG improves imaging fidelity of fluid flow by use of a flow phantom, and then we report the utility of DOMAG to explore fluid flow, shear stress, and interconnectivity within 3-D porous scaffolds with an unprecedented accuracy as compared to DOCT.
The configuration and operating principles of the DOMAG system can be found elsewhere.10 Briefly, the system used in this study employed a broadband infrared superluminescent diode with a central wavelength of 1300 nm. The spectral interferogram formed by lights between the sample and reference arms was sent to a home-built high-speed spectrometer that employed a line scan infrared InGaAs detector to achieve an imaging speed of 20 frames per second (fps) with 1000 A scans (axial scans) in each B scan (lateral direction). The system has the imaging resolution of 16×16×8μm3 in the x-y-z direction, and an imaging depth of ∼3 mm in air.
To test DOMAG performance in imaging flow, we first used DOMAG to image a flow phantom. The phantom was made from gelatin mixed with 2% milk to simulate the heterogeneous tissue background, within which a capillary tube with an inner diameter of ∼200 μm was submerged, and ∼2% TiO2 particle solution was flowing in it. The Doppler angle was set at 85 deg. The flow rate was controlled by a precision syringe pump. Figure 1 shows a crosssectional OMAG structural image of the scanned flow phantom that is identical to the image obtained by frequency domain optical coherence tomography (FDOCT). The phase difference result in Fig. 1 is described by conventional DOCT to represent the flow velocity information. Due to the optical heterogeneity of a static tissue background [denoted by Bt in Fig. 1], a background noise [Nb in Fig. 1] from the nonflow region of the phantom was imposed onto the DOCT flow image, making it difficult for DOCT to precisely measure small flow velocity.11 An additional problem in DOCT is the random noise [labeled with Nr in Fig. 1] from the background with low backscattered signal, such as the air region in this phantom [labeled with Ba in Fig. 1]. Before evaluating flow signals, the segmentation method has to be used to extract the tissue regions of interest. These two types of artifacts from backgrounds are maximally suppressed with the advent of the DOMAG imaging method. Figure 1 shows the corresponding OMAG flow, image that delineates the scattering fluid flow, with both background noise and random noise being rejected. The OMAG method successfully separated the backscattering flow signals from the background signals, resulting in minimal noise production.10,12 When combined with the phase resolved method, it is clear that DOMAG in Fig. 1 provides superior imaging performance due to noise suppression in either tissue or air background when compared to Fig. 1. To better show the noise suppression by DOMAG, we extracted two signal profiles across the same depth position marked by red and blue lines in Figs. 1, respectively. The corresponding signal profiles are shown in Fig. 1. The phase differences (parabolic curve) in the flow region are almost the same by different methods, but the background noise in DOMAG (∼0.02 rad) is much smaller than that in DOCT (∼0.15 rad), and the random noise in DOCT (indicated by the black arrow) was removed in DOMAG due to its reconstruction procedure. Consequently, we expect that the phase SNR will increase in DOMAG as compared to DOCT, delivering improved evaluation of fluid flow and shear stress.

Nr = random noise; Nb = background noise. (c) OMAG flow image. (d) DOMAG velocity image. (e) Flow signal profiles extracted from the positions marked in (b) and (d), where the insert is the enlargement of the marked area. The black arrow indicates the area over which the random noise is generated.
Next, we applied DOMAG in noninvasive assessment of fluid flow through porous microstructures in chitosan scaffolds, widely used in FTE. Chitosan scaffolds with high porosity were fabricated as described in Ref. 8, then placed within a transparent sample chamber (ID=1.5 mm) for DOMAG imaging. During imaging, the chamber was oriented to have a Doppler angle of 85 deg with respect to the incident probe beam. A precision syringe pump was used to deliver a constant input flow rate of 8 ml/h. A 0.5% latex microsphere (0.3 μm in diameter) suspension was used as the light scattering medium. Shown in Fig. 2 are the representative results from a single B scan of the scaffold. Figure 2 is the OMAG structural image taken before scattering medium flowed through the sample, from which the microstructures of the pores are clearly delineated. Figure 2 shows the corresponding OMAG image of localized fluid flow that permeates this cross section shown in Fig. 2. However, this image only provides the backscattered signals (i.e., reflectance) from the functional flow that does not indicate the flow velocity information, which is, however, needed for quantifying the localized shear stress. By applying the DOMAG method, the phase difference map [Fig. 2] to the imaged fluid flow was extracted from Fig. 2, which could then be converted to the velocity values. Compared with the result from the same section obtained by DOCT [Fig. 2], the fluid flow with relative small velocities corresponding to the small values of phase difference12 can be successfully captured by DOMAG [Fig. 2]. As discussed in our previous work, in DOCT, background phase noise is a barrier to imaging the detailed velocities of flow due to the heterogeneity of the scaffold, as seen in Fig. 2. When the scan rate was set at 20 kHz, the noise floor in DOCT was typically 0.4 rad for the scaffold studied, suggesting that DOCT might fail to measure flow <0.83 mm/s. Therefore, slow flows (<0.83 mm/s) in the microstructures were masked due to the noise production in DOCT. DOMAG is capable of reducing this noise level to 0.03 rad, which corresponds to the minimal detectable velocity of ∼62 μm/s. As a consequence, the low fluid flow near the wall of micropores (>62 μm/s) is detected by DOMAG. This advantage makes DOMAG a more powerful tool in imaging fluid flow in the cultured, complex microconstructs that are usually perfused by a low input flow rate.
In situ imaging results for a typical B scan of the porous scaffolds. (a) OMAG structural image taken before scattering medium flowed through the sample. And OMAG images of (b) fluid flows and (c) their velocities respectively. (d) corresponding DOCT image of fluid flow.
Lastly, we provide a comparison between these two techniques for measuring shear stress and interconnectivity through the use of the same dataset scanned from a perfused scaffold. Figures 3 show the directional phase difference maps generated by DOCT and DOMAG, respectively. It is noted that we have to reduce the noise artifacts in the DOCT flow image to evaluate shear stress and pore interconnectivity. As the noise level of DOMAG is low in the entire image, noise reduction is not required. Compared to the DOCT image in Fig. 3, Fig. 3 shows that DOMAG detects the fluid flow within almost all micropores in the scanned construct, and more importantly, it illustrates that the slow flows near the pore walls (e.g., indicated by black arrows) are detected by DOMAG that are not visible by DOCT. The ability of DOMAG to image the flows near the wall is important because they are critical to deduce the localized shear stresses.8 These results indicate that DOMAG promises a nondestructive imaging technique to reliably determine the localized shear stress values within porous structures. The corresponding shear stresses are shown in Figs. 3, respectively. It can be seen that most values are distributed on the pore walls in Fig. 3, because slower flows emerging along walls were detected by the DOMAG method. However, higher values were derived by DOCT [Fig. 3] due to the high noise floor that had to be removed before calculating the shear stress values, leading to an overestimate of the localized shear stress. As a consequence, DOMAG is capable of more precisely detecting the shear stress distribution in perfused constructs. In Fig. 3, the probability of shear stress value shown by probability mass function (n=12) is compared between DOCT and DOMAG. Visually, the shear stresses via DOMAG were distributed less broadly than those via DOCT, indicating that detectable shear stress became more uniform in DOMAG, which caused the mean shear stress to decrease. Furthermore, the pore-interconnectivity evaluation from the flow image maps from two methods are presented in Fig. 3 (n=12). The mean value of DMOAG is ∼1.5-fold larger than that of DOCT, suggesting the advantage of DOMAG over DOCT in quantifying how much space is being used for transfusion in the artificial tissues.

Shown are (a) DOCT and (b) DOMAG images of velocities of fluid flow, respectively; and the corresponding (c) DOCT and (d) DOMAG image of local shear stress distributions. (e) is wall shear stress distribution (n=12), and (f) the interconnectivity (mean ± std) (n=12). Color bar units = mm/s (upper row), and dyn∕cm2 (middle row). (Color online only.)
In summary, we have successfully demonstrated the use of DOMAG for improved characterization of local fluid flow within highly scattering microporous scaffolds in situ. By rejecting the background noise imposed by the heterogeneous properties of tissue samples, OMAG is able to detect the slow fluid flow near the porous wall within the microporous tissue constructs. The improved assessment of shear stress and interconnectivity values based on the flow information shows promise for DOMAG to monitor the dynamic properties of an engineered tissue in a bioreactor.

Today, Fran tells me it will be cancelled.
Previous to this, I sent a large payment to them which I hadn't done before. This time I didn't know they hadn't received until after I got the statement showing they didn't receive payment, they added an over the limit fee, late fee, and another over the limit fee.
