In its way this was Nightmare in St John's Wood, part 18 for England. It is that many matches (and 71 years, certain to become 75) since they last beat Australia at Lord's and as in recent history, wherever they have played, their nemeses did not change. In the first innings it was Glenn McGrath, yesterday it was Shane Warne who mesmerised and cajoled them to their downfall. It begins to look possible that reports of their cricketing deaths were greatly exaggerated. Neither is the bowler he was, but both have adapted to changed circumstances.
England had a disastrous third day, which was mercifully ended by bad light. They have five wickets left and need another 246 to win. Kevin Pietersen is at the crease, approaching his second half-century of the match having already hooked Brett Lee for six, but he is chasing a lost cause. The batting was so innocuous, so badly exposed that it was impossible to avoid musing on the retirement on Friday of Graham Thorpe and the decision to drop him from the side which preceded it. It looked to be a bold risk at the time as the selectors overlooked a 35-year-old left-hander who looked weary in favour of the zest and brio of youth. By mid-afternoon yesterday it seemed like the reckless jettisoning of valuable experience.
The conundrum was not whether to choose two of Thorpe, Ian Bell and Kevin Pietersen. It was the feeling that neither Thorpe nor Pietersen could bat higher than five and that Pietersen had done enough in one-day matches. But this was more than nominal, it changed the method of approach and affected everybody else in the order. Pietersen has done everything that could have been expected in this match in terms of runs, though, despite his exuberance, his three dropped catches and missed throws at the stumps did not make him a much better proposition than Thorpe in the field.
The dice, however, have been cast. England's top three have to start contributing runs, preferably by the bucketful, and they have to start in Birmingham. The captain, Michael Vaughan, was always crucial to this campaign and the suspicion yesterday, as he misjudg-ed the line to be bowled for the second time in the game, is that his form is indifferent.
At the start, England had a slender hope of staying in the match by quickly claiming the remaining three Australian second wickets. Instead, they spurned three more catches, all of which were more straightforward than difficult, and by the time they bowled out the tourists shortly after lunch, they needed 420 to win.
This was academic, beating as it would the world record of 420 and the Ashes record of 404 made by Bradman's Australians in 1948. Briefly, while Marcus Trescothick and Andrew Strauss were fluently putting on 80 for the first wicket, it was possible for dreamers to dream.
Then Warne was summoned and things changed immediately. He had a bit of rough to exploit from the Nursery End and his usual amount of front. He was turning it prodigiously but at these times the ones that go straight on are just as menacing.
This was a tremendous piece of sporting theatre. Before Warne took a wicket he had several appeals for leg before turned down and both he and his colleagues were becoming excitable. It was to the credit of the umpire, Aleem Dar, wrong or right, that he remained imperturbable.
In the over before tea, Warne had a loud appeal against Trescothick rejected. It turned and beat the batsman but his stride understandably saved him. It was Strauss's turn to be befuddled afterwards, once inside edging one that turned, then deciding not to play a shot against another. Warne was incredulous and Ponting had a word with Dar. Thus reprieved, Strauss attempted to remove his bat, deciding late to eschew the hook against a fearsome Lee. It went towards silly point and Lee halted his follow-through, switched direction and took a marvellous running, diving catch. The contrast with England was too grim to contemplate for long.
Warne, getting nowhere with leg before verdicts, had Trescothick edging to first slip and then thoroughly bamboozled Bell into playing no shot. This lbw verdict was plain, though Warne's reaction to the umpire might not have been "La-di-Dar". Bell will make Test runs but this has been a poor match for him (though his Test average remains above 100).
Vaughan missed the ball playing from his crease. He looked tired and if he is tired now, he should be an intriguing case by September. Flintoff edged Warne a tad naïvely to the wicketkeeper and England were 119 for 5. Pietersen ensured there was no further loss of wicket or face before bad light intervened with 10 overs unbowled.
As the series wears on, England may be worn down by those four missed chances as much as their batting. All must have had a corrosive effect on their confidence, not to mention that of the bowler in each case, Simon Jones, though only one amounted to dropping the Ashes.
Perhaps Michael Clarke is too short in the international tooth to have mentioned the point to Kevin Pietersen yet. It is, apparently, only apocryphal that one so long in it as Steve Waugh told Herschelle Gibbs back in 1999 that he had dropped the World Cup. But it is possible that Pietersen's oversight at cover in failing to hold on to a careless drive just before tea on Friday was significant beyond the moment.
Clarke was 21 and Australia were 139 for 3 at the time, and respectively they went on to make 91 and 384. It was a mistake to be ill-afforded against this opposition, and England simply tried to perfect the dropping art yesterday. Pietersen avoided increasing his tally to four but Geraint Jones added two to his career canon and Andrew Flintoff also grassed one at second slip. These catches went down at 333, 376 and 384.
Jones the bowler did well to avoid giving Jones the wicketkeeper something more than an old-fashioned look. It had started well enough with Ashley Giles effecting a smart, athletic run-out from gully with a direct hit at the bowler's end. But England were held up by Australia's patience, particularly that of Simon Katich who was careful to protect the weaker men around and aware of the need to build an unassailable lead.
Unless it rains for two days, or unless Pietersen completes another kind of miracle, England will have demons to exorcise. The sight of the urn containing the prize has already receded from view.Reuse content

Waking up, I see a bright light ahead of me. Realising what happened before I sit up and prepare for what is to come. I look down on the chains still on my wrists, silver rusty chains, and broken pieces of wood lie ahead of me. A wooden seat is in the middle of the room and a broken wooden ledge above it. The room is a very small room, a white floor, white walls and a white ceiling. I look to my left and there is a massive silver door with no handle on it.
Me... I am a girl, short brown hair; I am wearing a black raggy t shirt, and black trousers which are very torn and quite baggy.
I stand up and walk to the door. I feel around... a smooth silver surface. There is nothing on it to let me out of this room.
But then... I think... who am I? Where am I? Why am I here? Confusion sweeps over my brain. I stand and stare at the door. I look down at the chains on my wrists. Have I done something? I don't understand.
All I know is that I am locked in this small room, and there is no way out. This door with no handle is not helping me. Thoughts of hanging myself with this chain are starting to grow on me. But then other thoughts enter my mind. I want to know who I am... and why I am here.
Something is flickering on the left of me... I look up, and see a camera, and a red flashing light. What is this? What does it mean? Is someone watching me? How will I ever know?

Sclerorhynchids (extinct sawfishes, Batoidea), pristids (extant sawfish, Batoidea) and pristiophorids (sawsharks, Squalomorphi) are the three elasmobranch families that possess an elongated rostrum with lateral teeth. Sclerorhynchids are the extinct sawfishes of the Cretaceous period, which reached maximum total lengths of 100 cm. The morphology of their rostral teeth is highly variable. Pristid sawfish occur circumtropically and can reach maximum total lengths of around 700 cm. All pristid species are globally endangered due to their restricted habitat inshore. Pristiophorid sawsharks are small sharks of maximum total lengths below 150 cm, which occur in depths of 70–900 m. Close examination of the morphology of pectoral fin basals and the internal structure of the rostrum reveals that sclerorhynchids and pristids evolved independently from rhinobatids, whereas pristiophorids are squalomorph sharks. The elongation of the rostrum may be an adaptation for feeding, as all marine vertebrate taxa that possess this structure are said to use it in the context of feeding.

NRL boss viewing salary cap systems for ideasAdrian Proszenko
Published: May 11 2013 - 3:00AM
NRL chief executive officer Dave Smith will review the world's best salary cap systems during the next six months with a view to modernising the rugby league version to ensure the best athletes are attracted to the game.
Smith, who marks his 100th day as the boss of the Australian Rugby League Commission on Sunday, is looking at strategies that will develop the game.
One of those is a tweaking of the salary cap, the great leveller of playing talent, in a way that ensures marquee players including Sonny Bill Williams and Israel Folau are retained or recruited.
''The salary cap has been hugely successful in many respects in terms of competitiveness and maintaining the statistics around how many teams have reached the finals series and how many teams have reached the grand final,'' Smith said.
''It has been hugely successful by world standards, so you take your hat off to that.
''However, the world moves on and we as a game have got to constantly evolve,'' he said.
''I will have a look at the salary cap and I will look to maintain all of the really positive things it represents in terms of competitiveness, but modernise it.
''At the end of the day we want people in our game from start to finish and we want to widen participation,'' Smith said.
''We want the best athletes in our game. We absolutely want the Sonny Bill Williams and the Folaus, we want them and they are very welcome in our game.
''We need to maintain the discipline the salary cap gives but modernise it so that it represents society as it is today, tomorrow and in five years' time,'' he said.
''It's a priority for me over the next six months so that we can think it through, it won't be knee jerk or any rush. It's about positioning the game for the future.''
Clubs are concerned that the current policing of the cap has forced some of the best talent out of the game. None more so than the Eels, who are furious over the protracted negotiations with cap auditor Ian Schubert that resulted in Folau joining the Waratahs. The cap - currently set at $5.85 million - will be one of the responsibilities of incoming chief operating officer Jim Doyle.
It's likely Doyle and Smith will study systems such as those in soccer, cricket and rugby union to ascertain whether marquee allowances or central contracts could play a role in the league version. It could result in changes for the 2014 season.
''I have got some initial ideas but the first thing I want to do is think about the different structures you could have,'' Smith said.
''You look at the strengths and weaknesses. There are many salary cap structures around the world and some work very well and others less well.
''I want to look at all of those models,'' he said.
''The key thing is, [our system] isn't broken, but we want to make sure we're keeping up with the times.''
■ Brisbane Broncos injury concerns Justin Hodges, Josh McGuire and David Stagg have all been cleared to tackle Parramatta on Saturday in an NRL clash that has Broncos coach Anthony Griffin worried.
''They've got plenty of strike across the park with Chris Sandow, Jarryd Hayne, (Jacob) Loko and Reni Maitua and their forward pack has plenty of power and aggression.''
Having all three players fit adds 450 games of NRL experience to the line-up.''Whenever 'Hodgo' is on the field it's a bonus for us but we don't all run and hide under the bed when he's not there,'' Griffin said.

What have I done with my life?
What impact have I had?
What have I done to be remembered?
If I die tonight I will be mourned by a few.
I won't be remembered by the world.
I won't be missed.
I don't doubt this.
I have done nothing of note with my life.
I've had no noticeable impact on the world.
I won't be remembered.
Nothing to remember.
I am 20 and have spent my time thus far in schools preparing for life,
But what if there is no life?
If I die tonight, won't my life have been a waste?
Won't I have been a waste?
I sit here waiting for life to start,
But what if my life is nearly over?
Each second I draw closer to the end.
How much longer do I have?
This keeps me up at night.
I stare at the ceiling, wondering, imagining.
I imagine making an impact on the world.
I imagine meaning something.
As I wonder and imagine it strikes me,
I want to make a difference by leading.
I want to lead by example.
I want to inspire.
I often wish that I was born in a simpler time.
A time where I could thrive.
A time without technology.
A time of fighting.
In all of my imaginings I lead.
I lead an army, a group of fighters.
I inspire hope and awe in people.
I inspire fear in people.
That last bit scares me.
Do I really want to make a difference that badly?
So badly that I would want to be feared?
Do I want to be hated in memory?
Then I consider ending it now.
Don't leave them something to hate.
Don't give them a chance to fear.
Help them forget me.
But the thought of ending in obscurity,
That is more terrifying than wanting to be feared.
I don't want my end to be dull,
I want to go out in a blaze.
I just want to do something that matters.
I want to make a difference to this world.
I want to be remembered.
I want a legacy to leave behind.
The seconds slip away,
All I do is write this.
If I die tonight,
I deserve it.
Don't I?

Last week I had a wonderful time with my mom and some other gals wandering around the HMQS {Home Machine Quilting Show}. Man, I love this show! It is so inspiring and overwhelming really. Totally gets the brain juices going….. for me at least.
I wasn't able to take any classes, but that didn't mean I couldn't enjoy all the beautiful sights. And, let me tell you there were a lot of sights! The quilts this year were so wonderful. My mom had her quilt in this year along with around 15 or so other quilts. They were all the same pattern, but different layouts and fabric. I love, love seeing those kind of things. I am always in awe with how others interpret designs and color. So fun.
They also had a section for Modern Quilts. I think I spent the most time there. The simple lines– quilting, everything was awesome.
This year the machine quilting didn't disappoint. It was a great show. I did notice that there wasn't as many quilts shining brightly with crystals….but the quilting was over the top. You can find out who the winners are over on HMQS site.
Here I am with Patsy {one of the cute gals that run the show} and my mom and her fantastic and perfect points Kaffe Quilt….with my stash of goodies I brought home- apparently I was in a thread mood! and check out the notions booth…..had to hide my hands in the pockets so I wouldn't get out of control. Man I love that stuff!
Great Machine Quilting
Modern Machine Quilts
Fun Quilt Patterns
This little series of quilts were so fun. It was a journal quilt. There were I think 9 total in the series. She started them to try out fabric dye, bleaching and color changing. Each day she worked on an 8″ X 8″ I think and then journaled with a sharpie pen the happenings of the day. She discovered after she started that she had cancer, so some of the blocks refer to her treatments and how she felt…. little acts of love..ect. It was wonderful. Great idea in itself and then to have a story. So precious.
My all time favorite quilt though was a Round Robin quilt based on Frank Loyd Wright. I know, what a wonderful idea! I sooo so love his homes and designs. The quilt is definitly not the typical run of the mill quilt- but I do love it.
If you are ever in the area when the show is going on– it is a must see. They really know how to show off some beautiful quilts and those who enter for judging are truly out of this world quilters. I always look forward to each Machine Quilting Show every year.
I am inspired to do better quilting with the screaming banchee…. and can't wait to get quilting again!

32% of Americans budget each month to track income and expenses, and 30% have a long-term financial plan with savings and investment goals.
Adam Rifkin stashed this in Facts
Stashed in: Awesome, Personal Finance, Personal Finance
A poll from Gallup shows that 32 percent of Americans put together a budget each month to track income and expenditures, and just 30 percent have a long-term financial plan laying out savings and investment goals. (Jul 16, 2013)
More about this:
Since Mint has 7 million users I'm guessing most people budget by spreadsheet.
Or by hand.
or budget after the fact considering the debt articles of last week?
After the fact isn't really budgeting though.

Queens Park Rangers captain Joey Barton has been banned for 12 matches after being found guilty of two counts of violent conduct.Barton, 29, was sent off in QPR's defeat at Manchester City on the final day of the season and had accepted a charge over his clash with Sergio Aguero in the wake of his red card.
Some pundits I've read this morning, say its over the top ' compared to others' and some say its not enough. The real answer lies in the fact the FA have acted in a way appropriate to stamp their authority on the game!!
Now is Joey the 1st player to be involved in such a scrape? Trawling the Sun this morning they list other players involved in showing a lack of respect in the past. Now Joey has been a bad boy here, though he has a bigger ban than David Prutton for shoving a REF, Paul Davies for punching a player, Di Canio infamous push on the REF and more than Mr Suarez for his racial abuse charge.
Now I'm sure at the start of the season the QPR players if he is still there will NOT come out wearing T-Shirts in support of the player, but what I ask is this!?
Have they banned him for 12 games, as it was the showcase game of the season with millions watching?
To make him an example? If this this the case then why has the RESPECT campaign been in transit for 4 seasons now, not been brought to tuition earlier than this case. Our junior footballers are in touch with he game. They know what goes on.
A 12 game ban is a great warning to others, that this will not be tolerated. But is this the worst lack of none respect we have seen in our English game since the arrival of the RESPECT campaign. Should bigger bans , been enforced on many other incidents to help the campaign? More focus on it so it runs hand in hand with the grassroots game. Stamp it out, they say, though have they done enough at the top end of our game to banish it from our local pitches?
I fear not, though this is certainly a stance that they will not tolerate poor discipline on the pitch, though what have they waited for a high profile player in a high profile game to show they mean business!!?
Should he ( Joey ) been clamped on earlier as he goaded people on Twitter, and began the season on the floor himself at Newcastle. The Geordies just simply sold him on as a ' bad egg ' QPR signed him , to save their season and the FA say he now needs help. Its maybe the FA that need help in this department, and need to command RESPECT from the players that play under their federation. Ex pro's become media reporters, and heavily involved in the game. Is their room for some of them to be involved with the running of our game?

Former England winger Chris Waddle enjoys Show Some Respect
As a qualified and experienced coach, there's not much Chris Kirkham hasn't seen and done at junior level. Along the way, he has seen and heard many things that have appalled him.
Parents shouting and swearing at terrified kids; referees threatened and verbally abused; children refusing to play-on whilst grown men square up on the touchline.
"Lets make this clear. This is a minority and not a true reflection of the marvellous work that goes into Junior football. Unfortunately, the minority make the news." Chris Kirkham
Football is a simple game, played for enjoyment. Where did it all go wrong? Why do we need barriers to protect our children from the chaos on the touchlines?
Chris asks all these questions and more as he looks at how the FAs Respect campaign has tried to address some of these issues and sees the progress being made at grassroots level.

The CG Awards are given out to a number of different software developers as well as websites, along with the VFX for short films ,etc. These awards are based purely online, and have been awarded to a number of different websites such as Gizmodo, Tech Rader, PC Gamer, etc. in a range of different fields. The CG Awards are announced every year, and they have a select panel of judges which decide which business/ individual or website will win the award in each category, every year. Judges include Andre Luis, Angie Taylor, Bill Westenhofer, Brian Mclean and numerous others. Each judge is a professional within their own field and have worked with some of the most prolific companies out there, hence giving them the expertise and knowledge to perform better.
The CG Awards are sponsored by a number of different companies, most notably 3D pioneer systems, RebusFarm, Creative Bloq Jobs and numerous others. These companies each have achieved excellence within their respective fields, to become the pioneers in their industries. The awards themselves are published by the Future PLC. Future PLC, one of the largest media companies in the world. Future PLC is primarily focused on the publishing of different magazines, and runs 30 different magazines, within the field of photography, technology, video games, etc. The CG Awards celebrate distinguished achievements of websites that have risen to the fore and have differentiated themselves from the rest within their niche.
Those websites that have won the CG Awards can place a logo that is provided by the Awards on their website, further adding to their credibility and providing them with much more fame. Most of the judges that work with the CG Awards are professionals in the field of 3D modeling and supervision, and have extensive experience within this field.
The CG Awards are an online based event, but they span a large number of different fields and categories, ranging from VFX films to the best video game websites. As a result, a person who has done anything in the field of 3D or online based work can apply for the CG Awards. At first, the nominees are decided through a short listing process, and then after a period of deliberation, the judges decide the winner based upon the excellence achieved in an industry.
The 3D World CG Awards have received a lot of positives from throughout the industry, mainly because they provide recognition to websites and to individuals who are striving hard to bring about a positive change within the industry. The CG Awards recognize individuals who have done excellent work over the past year, releasing short films over the internet. Not only does it provide recognition to individuals and companies who have worked on a larger scale, releasing movies and films over a bigger medium, but it also recognizes those individuals who publish their work through limited channels, hence providing an even medium for both to gain recognition. These are not the 'big time' award ceremonies that are held all over the globe, but are instead purely based online, and a person who has won a CG Award can be very proud of their achievements.
Held under the auspices of Future PLC, which is the sixth largest media company within the United Kingdom, the 3D World CG Awards celebrate the work of artists, designers, editors and creators over the past years, and since Future PLC has a huge amount of resources at its available, it can also send out award trophies or recognition plaques as requested by the winners through post, providing them with tangible proof of their win!

'Earl of Baltimore' Passes at 82
Hall of Fame Baltimore Orioles manager Earl Weaver AKA the 'Earl of Baltimore' also dubbed the 'Duke of Earl' by Baltimore natives passed away at 82 years old early Saturday morning, while aboard a cruise. The often boisterous, loud, and profane manager retired the seventh winningiest manager of all-time (1,480-1,060, .583), and first among managers who began their careers after 1960! He coached from 1968-1986 and retired with one World title (1970), six division titles, four AL pennants, and five 100 win seasons! He wasn't afraid to speak his mind, often volatile, remembered for his spat with HOF pitcher Jim Palmer, and finished third all-time with 97 ejections! Check out his history below! R.I.P. to the Duke of Earl!
On his election to the Hall of Fame in 1996, Weaver said: "Without Jim McLaughlin and Harry Dalton, I wouldn't have made it. I couldn't have done any of this." – nydailynews
History: Weaver was born in St. Louis on August 14, 1930, and played professionally 12 years in the St. Louis Cardinals minor league system (starting in 1948)! He was a better-than-average second-baseman (pic above) who topped out in double-A ball! In 1957, Legendary Orioles farm director Jim McLaughlin offered Weaver a coaching position in the Orioles minor league system. By 1966 with the task given, by Baltimore GM Harry Dalton gave him the responsibility for organizing all the fundamentals workouts for the Baltimore farmhands below Triple A, Weaver had created a system known as "the Oriole Way". In 1968 he was brought to the bigs as a first base coach, and instantly on July 11 he replaced Hank Bauer as the manager!

I Break ThingsMature
I blink with all my might
Wishing this is just a dream
And that dream would vanish with the light.
Many Christmases ago, I received
A quaint object - a doll of sorts
With long yellow hair and rosy cheeks.
I played with it for hours on end
Until her hair came out
As well as the paint on her porcelain cheeks.
My mother moaned:
"You break things."
Two years past, I received
A station wagon - pale from age
Yet with it I did travel far
Until the poor and dying car
Did heave and sputter - out of breath
And crashed into a traffic light
My parents chastised me, quite greatly
Shrugging, I let them berate me.
What can I say, I break things.
And now you're lying on the ground
Beside an empty orange Zoloft bottle
You received - full - the day before.
I said I loved you, every day
I never chastised
You were my world and nothing less
To me, that much I can confess.
My tears are running down my cheeks
As I deny involvement...
...Yet there my sins lie, documented
In a folded piece of notebook paper
Grasped within your cold hand.
I tried my hardest - you couldn't tell
I loved not wisely, but too well
But in the end it matters not
What can I say?
I break things.

Evaluation of the Targeted Care Packages Program
Dr Tim Moore, Steven Roche, Karen Milward, Morag McArthur; in partnership with ACIL Allen Consulting
Funding Source:
Victorian Department of Health and Human Services
The Targeted Care Packages is an initiative of the Victorian Department of Health and Human Services and forms part of reforms to better support building strong families and safe children in Victoria, and securing a sustainable out of home care system. The TCP is designed to enable individualised and flexible supports for home-based care not available within the current funding arrangements. It enables the child or young person's transition from residential care into an alternative living arrangement, where their experience of care is more positive and their needs better met.
In 2016-17, the Department of Health and Human Services appointed ACIL Allen Consulting to evaluate the implementation and early achievements of Targeted Care Packages (TCP). ACIL Allen Consulting has partnered with the Institute of Child Protection Studies to conduct a discrete piece of work that considers children and young people's perspectives on the program.
For more information about this project, contact Dr Tim Moore.

Connaught launches new IHT-efficient Agri business
Following on from its successful Income Fund series, Connaught Asset Management, the boutique asset manager, has today (14th July 2011) announced the launch of the Connaught Business Partnership, Series 1.
The Business Partnership will purchase carefully selected farm businesses, including associated farm assets such as land, outbuildings, and stock. The purchase releases capital to the incumbent farmer who will normally be engaged to help work the farm with the partnership for a period of three years at which point the farm is either purchased back by the original farmer, or the farm will be kept, or sold, by the partnership.
Each quarter the Partnership will aim to distribute income at a targeted annualised rate of 4%. The partnership will also distribute any capital gains arising from the sale of a farm.
The partnership has been designed such that participants will benefit from business property relief which mitigates inheritance tax on a gift of a partnership share after the participation has been held for two years or more. Entrepreneurs' relief may also be available if the participation has been held for the required period. Investors in the exempt unit trust should instead not be liable for tax on any accrued chargeable gains on the disposal of any farm by the partnership.
Alistair Mawdsley, Director of Connaught, commented:
"We are delighted to be launching The Business Partnership and to be extending our products further into the alternative assets arena. Our core supporters asked us to design an opportunity which also has the potential to mitigate IHT and after 18 months of research and development believe that we have created a very attractive proposition for this market.
"We have now received clearance from HMRC regarding the suitability of The Business Partnership for IHT relief and felt that with uncertainty creeping back into some investment areas we would bring forward the launch of the partnership to July from September."
The Business Partnership is set up as a limited partnership with an independent operator and administrator. The limited partnership will have an attendant exempt unit trust for those entities unable to participate in limited partnerships.

About Connaught Asset Management
• Connaught Asset Management was formed in February 2007 to research and offer asset-backed lending and non-correlated investment opportunities into the investment market, based and secured against tangible assets to minimise investment risk and offer investors and institutions innovative ways to diversify their investments.
• Over the last two years Connaught has designed a series of income funds which have continued to perform despite the volatility in many markets world-wide and historically very low interest rates, offering investors a fixed annualised return of between 7.15% and 9%.
• The Connaught Income Fund, Series 2, is offered through Connaught's regulated Guernsey-based subsidiary, Connaught Asset Management (Guernsey) Limited. Series 2 lends in to the residential housing market for the short to medium-term with a targeted overall Fund maturity of 18 months and has the option of investing up to 10% in commercial property. Connaught Income Fund, Series 3, moves away from the urban environment in to the agricultural lending sector acting as a portfolio diversifier for investors who already hold investments in Series 1. The average LTV is targeted at 65%.
• These funds epitomise the philosophy of Connaught and with no correlation to Bank of England base rates will continue to be attractive to investors wishing to find alternative income solutions.

New York firm Curtis Mallet-Prevost Colt & Mosle is two months away from a merger with what is believed to be a 30 to 50-lawyer City practice.
The firm last week added a six-lawyer Milan practice – Studio Legale Gilioli – to its network of international offices and managing partner George Kahale said he was close to bringing an English firm on board as well.
"We are in focused negotiations with one particular law firm," he said, "and if all goes well I expect a decision within two months."
Curtis will merge its existing three-lawyer London office – established five years ago – into the UK practice.
The 180-lawyer firm, which is big in cross-border financing and keen to expand internationally, particularly in France and Latin America, also has offices in Frankfurt, Paris, Hong Kong, Mexico City and Oman.
The Milan office will be known as Curtis Mallet-Prevost & Gilioli and will be operated and managed by US-qualified partners Eric Gilioli and Carl Ruggio and affiliated with five Italian tax specialists.
Kahale said of the Milan office: "We will look to capitalise on the firm's Latin American and Middle Eastern expertise in view of the large volume of trade between Italy and those areas."
Kahale recently acted as lead counsel in the US$1.52bn financing of the Pemex Cadereyta Refinery in Mexico – the largest ever such financing in Latin America.

AnyDVD HD 188.8.131.52-BRD
Category: Tutorial
AnyDVD HD 188.8.131.52
Watching DVD movies is a very easy task because there are many applications that support DVD playback, but decrypting the discs in order to make backups in case the physical optical disc sustains some kind of damage is not such a simple job.
However, utilities for carrying out this endeavor can be found with minimal efforts and one of the best in this respect is AnyDVD HD. Bringing support for High Definition DVDs and thanks to a rather easy to use, though quite simple interface, the software allows users to enjoy movies of great quality through a digital display connection.
AnyDVD HD works in a smart manner, running in the background and taking care of everything without harassing the user with pop-ups, prompt screens and other such annoyances. As soon as a disc is inserted in the optical drive, this program removes region code and encryption, as well as copy protection or other restrictions.
A special feature of AnyDVD HD is the ability to perform replacements to the files on a disc without having to create a copy. The XML scripts it uses will make the needed modifications straight on the physical disc, which saves lots of time.
Customizing the settings of AnyDVD HD is a breeze and after you spend some minutes configuring it, you should enjoy each DVD without annoying menu clips, intros, advertisements, forced subtitles. More so, this utility gives you the possibility to adjust refresh rates for your monitor, depending on the type of media inserted (HD DVD, Blu-ray, NTSC or PAL DVD).
To sum things up, this software is surely one that anyone would like to use on a regular basis because it can remove restrictions automatically and allow users to focus on the movie rather than struggle to adjust countless options before getting to actually play a movie uninterruptedly.
Here are some key features of "AnyDVD HD":
• Works automatically in the background
• Removes encryption (CSS) and region code (RPC) from DVDs
• Removes analogue copy protection (Macrovision)
• Removes features such as forced subtitles and warnings
• Decrypts without the need to save the data onto your hard-disk
• Decrypts 'on the fly'
• Prevents automatic launching of 'PC-friendly' software on video DVDs
• Allows adjustment of your monitor refresh rate for both NTSC and PAL monitors
• Allows execution of external programs on disc insertion and removal
• Allows speed control of your DVD drives
• Compatible with all DVD media
• Works with all DVD-drives, regardless of region code
• Works with all DVD copying, such as CloneDVD, and all DVD player software
• Works transparently for the operating system: DVDs can be shared over the network and copied with the command prompt or with ShiChuang Explorer, etc.
• Proven to be stable and fast and does not require an ASPI driver
• Features AnyCDDA: play, copy and rip protected audio CDs
• Removes encryption (AACS) from HD-DVDs
• watch movies over digital display connection, without HDCP compliant graphics card and HDCP compliant display.
• playback of discs on the PC with PowerDVD Ultra, which otherwise do not run.
• Removes user prohibitions, you can select the language and subtitle track without going through the disc's menu.
• Removes parental restrictions.
• Allows you to remove or skip Studio Logos and warning messages.
• With "magic file replacement" you can remaster any commercial movie disc using simple XML scripts.
• The "must have" utility for the serious home theater enthusiast using a media center / home theater PC.
• Includes a UDF 2.5 file ripper, no need to install 3rd party UDF 2.5 filesystem under ShiChuang XP.

Oakland, Berkeley, And East Bay News, Events, Restaurants, Music, & Arts
It seems Oakland city government isn't the only ones with a case of the spring time stupids:
Maybe it's too much 420?
As long as papers and authors like the one posting this tripe continue to advocate for antifa and other violent Trotskyites who explictly seek the violent and murderous overthrow of the US government, what you can expect?
East Bay Express comments turning into a maelstrom of right-wing talking points. Sad!
Thank you so much Senator Nancy Skinner. We need money for social services not jail expansion.
Until the non-violent offender breaks into your house and steals your belongings, then you want them locked up.
Because that's their job.

Yea for BPD, let the 2 groups work it out
Then send them home for supper. Grab any straglers and repeat offenders anx haul them in. Why should the put themselves in harms way?
Sounds like the residents of Dublin have drank in the extremist, alt right, Fox New, Brietbart, white panic propaganda from the Trump Regime. I fear more from the white extremists, zealots, Trumpsters and gun nut Oathkeepers than from any illegal immigrant. Funny how they don't seem concerned about the murders and violence these racists are committing!
Thanks for giving me yet another reason to laugh at the ugly suburban sprawl joke that is Dublin!
I was all excited about this place, but the use of Maggi seasoning means that there is MSG in the food which strikes it off my list. I get migraines from MSG and it also typically means that the food is not good quality enough to stand on it's own without flavor enhancers. Oh well....
This lady is amazing! In just 2 conversations she made me a better person, a better parent and a better paraprofessional! That was in 1990's and has stayed with me all these years!
Oh no....tomatoes cost more. Yes, let's spend billions of dollars for people who lie, cheat, and steal to be here.
There are millions of people who spent tons of money and time to be here the right way.
They need to hunt her down and start a war in Berkeley. If you will let her views and act violent to others I can't wait for that school to fall.
Nobody is OK with crazy anyone roaming the streets! It is a complete exaggeration to place the blame of 'craziness on the streets' on people who are not here legally!!! That is right-wing BS!!! Get rid of people who are here illegally---watch the price of that tomato on your table go up a $1.00!! So sad that right-wing, heartless morons don't get that!
Oakland council members need to focus their efforts on a lot of others things besides tobacco and vaping. And how about enforcing the laws and consequences already on the books. Fining. Revoking business licenses. Etc.
I suspect terminating some buses to some public schools (while, outrageously, providing bus service to private schools -- how can this be legal? Seems like the Civil Rights Act comes to bear on this) is really about gentrification. The poor kid families are supposed to leave Oakland so more rich folks can move in. Then the buses will return. And the schools themselves will improve.
Mental health services are needed both in the community and the jail, but 32 "mental health jail beds" are not required to provide such services. On the contrary, spending more money on incarceration means less fo spend on mental health professionals and other important services. If CCC would stop profiting on human suffering by ending the disgraceful ICE contract, there would be more than enough jail capacity required for to ensure public safety. Incarceration for any other reason is unacceptable.
"that part of Tele has those stupid bike lanes so it drags through there"
Amen, preach it! Used to be that you could blow through there at 20 miles above the posted speed limit. Now cars have to sometimes obey the law for a few blocks...it's ridiculous. Now the walk/bike fanatics are trying to extend it to other streets, too:
Law Enforcement budgets and actions must be spent protecting Citizens from VIOLENT OFFENDERS vs. non violent offenders.

text: Cast: Chris (Overemotional Trip Report Author & Happy Mom) Jack (Overgrown Kid & Happy Dad) Katie (14yo Wonderful Daughter) Jenny (12yo Wonderful Daughter) Dan (12 yo Wonderful Son) We woke up early to get the rest of our stuff packed up and ready to go. Good thing we brought along two extra empty bags - with all the stuff we bought, we sure needed 'em!! Even with them, it seemed like our suitcases were bulging all around. We dropped our luggage off & headed over to the Magic Kingdom, our main priorities being to ride Splash Mountain (which we avoided our first day because of the cold) and Winnie the Pooh again. We headed immediately for Splash Mountain and walked right on with no waiting! We wanted another ride on Big Thunder, but it was closed. We rode Haunted Mansion again, which was a treat. Then we headed over to Winnie the Pooh & got a Fastpass (50 minute wait!) and went over to Tomorrowland. The wait for Buzz Lightyear was too long, so we opted for one last spin on the TTA - Space Mountain was having some work done on it, so we got to see it with the lights on again. But now it was time for our lunch ressies at Crystal Palace. We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch there & got great pictures of the kids with Tigger, Eeyore & Piglet. Pooh just kind of walked through without really stopping for anyone, which was surprising. The food was really good, though. When lunch was done, we checked the tip board and hooray! Big Thunder was open - so we had one more wild ride through the wilderness before our Fastpass time for Winnie the Pooh. We enjoyed Pooh even more the second time. Then we left Magic Kingdom for Epcot, where we wanted to see Tapestry of Nations & maybe ride Test Track once more. Well, when we got there, Test Track was not operating, so we just went & got a good seat for the ToN parade, which was just as beautiful as I had heard. Jack, being a fan of drums, wished he could have a crack at those gorgeous Milennium drums. After the parade, we saw Test Track was running again, so we hurried to get in line...but it kept running & then stopping the whole time we were in line and our deadline was drawing fast, so we bid Epcot farewell & went back to All Star Movies. Our Tiffany driver for the return trip was Daniel, a super nice guy from Brazil. As we were checking in our luggage, the airline next to ours was experiencing some kind of major problem & the customers were screaming and crying and threatening. Guess we're not in Disney World anymore. Our flight home was super short, thanks to a tailwind & we all pretty much fell into bed upon arrival. I'm home today washing laundry & trying to sort out the couple of hundred items we bought during our trip. Overall, the trip was as close to perfect as you can ask for. We had a wonderful time.

Plastics are everywhere these days, but current recycling techniques allow only a very limited portion to be reclaimed after initial use. Researchers in the Department of Chemical Engineering at North Carolina State University, working to change that, have developed a unique recycling process for some of the most common kinds of polymers.
Joan Patterson, doctoral student in chemical engineering at North Carolina State University, demonstrates the twin-screw extruder that will be used to recycle PET plastic bottles into plastic pellets, in bag at left.
© NC State University
The familiar soda bottle is made of a plastic called polyethylene terephthalate (PET). These bottles are ubiquitous, yet recycling them poses challenges, primarily because of contaminants or impurities. Dr. George W. Roberts, professor of chemical engineering, Dr. Saad A. Khan, professor of chemical engineering and director of the chemical engineering graduate program, and Joan Patterson, doctoral student in chemical engineering, are working on a project designed to address this problem.
"We're trying to develop a process where we can take waste polymer and convert it back into the material from which it was made. In the process, all the impurities are removed from the polymer," said Roberts. "Ideally, this should be done in a single step because the economics have to make sense for the process to have widespread applicability."

Two-dimensional magnetic structures are regarded as a promising material for new types of data storage, since the magnetic properties of individual molecular building blocks can be investigated and modified. For the first time, researchers have now produced a wafer-thin ferrimagnet, in which molecules with different magnetic centers arrange themselves on a gold surface to form a checkerboard pattern. Scientists at the Swiss Nanoscience Institute at the University of Basel and the Paul Scherrer Institute published their findings in the journal Nature Communications.
Ferrimagnets are composed of two centers which are magnetized at different strengths and point in opposing directions. Two-dimensional, quasi-flat ferrimagnets...

In a Founder's Footsteps
Great article about CEO Jennifer Atkinson published in the Financial Times. Entitled "In A founder's Footsteps" the article goes on to descibe the business "best known for holidays based around big sporting events as well as finding hotels for clients, and securing the best seats… ITC has 100,000 customers on its database, with 15,000 regular bookers and about 1,000 very rich individuals."
"I'm an optimist" says Ms Atkinson, who was sales and marketing director before she took the top job. "I'd always wanted to run my own business and I leapt at the chance"

Simi Valley Family YMCA Celebrates Healthy Kids Day During Simi Street Fair, May 10
Families will be able to participate in a variety of free outdoor activities, games and crafts during the Simi Valley Family YMCA "Healthy Kids Day," Saturday, May 10 from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
This year, the YMCA is sponsoring the Street Fair's kids' activity area taking place on the YMCA grounds (3200 Cochran Street). Besides free games and crafts, it will include a community demonstration stage showcasing local talent. The Y will be holding its pinewood derby races during the event as well offering parents information on how to keep their kids active during the upcoming summer months.
"Summer is the time for kids to be outside," says Stacey Huff, Simi Y senior program director. "There are lots of healthy ways to keep kids stimulated and active."
The Simi Y is one of 1,500 YMCA hosting Healthy Kids Day in spring. Research shows that kids are prone to gain more weight and fall behind in studies during summer. With nearly one in three U.S. children overweight or obese, the national YMCA instituted Healthy Kids Day to encourage kids and parents to commit to keeping their bodies and minds active during the summer.
For more information about Healthy Kids Day, call the Y at 805-583-5338.

It may have been to the thin air in the mountains of Denver, or perhaps a widening of a hole in the ozone layer, but during a ten minute span at Dicks Sporting Good Park, it was raining goals.
Colorado Rapids forward Atiba Harris and FC Dallas front man Blas Perez each scored a brace between the 56th and 66th minutes of the match as the Rapids drew with F.C. Dallas, 2-2, in front of 17,551 fans on Saturday night in Commerce City, Colorado.
After a scoreless first half where the only action had been an F.C. Dallas goal called back by the linesman, the second half heated up when Harris turned in a long throw-in from teammate Marvell Wynne to take a 1-0 lead. It wouldn't last long though, as Perez would equalize in the 61st minute past a diving Rapids goalkeeper Clint Irwin, taking advantage of a poor clearance from none other than Harris himself.
Harris made up for the mistake three minutes later, taking a header in the box and side-footing home past the on-rushing F.C. Dallas goalkeeper Raul Fernandez. But the defensive errors continued to haunt the hosts, allowing Perez time and space at the top of the box in the 66th minute, giving the Panamanian an opportunity to rifle one past Irwin to tie the score.
Neither side could break the deadlock as the teams settled for a draw. The result keeps F.C. Dallas on top of the Western Conference, while leaving the Rapids in fifth place.
Here are the match highlights:
Not to take any credit away from FCD for getting this result on the road — the Rapids should have been more focused and shut it down for full points — but the play on the field last night was more evidence that Dallas just isn't as good as their record & points indicate…
Hard to get anything going when Thomas was freight train wrecking FCD player he could. Guy should have been on a yellow before the half.
Too bad there isn't more clear video of the first goal that was taken away, it's pretty suspect to think the ball was wholly out. I'd concede the take away more easily had it been called for handball than being out.
The first Col goal it could be argued Hedges was being fouled, not like him to be at arms length and falling away from the ball as it's coming in the box…
To your point directly – many of the FCD games leave unanswered questions afterwards. Bigdsoccer.com is the SBN blog for FCD and each week we continue to ask ourselves, "are we really this good"? The answer thus far has to be unequivocally, "yep we're pretty good – so far".

SUBMITTED: Saturday, July 10, 2010POSTED: Saturday, July 10, 2010
The recruiter was "misleading", telling me that I would earn credit that would be able to transfer to a real school if a later date I decided to continue my schooling, and that WyoTech had a good reputation in the auto industry. I have not found a college that will take these credits, and when I drop off my resume to a potential employer, the usual response is "who is this WyoTech? Where are they? I never heard of them." The school doesn't even include textbooks with its program, just copies of copies of copies of poorly written and illustrated hand out packets". These packets do not make sense outside of the class, so they can't be used as reference material. There are too many students in the classes. You get very little actual hands on instruction The job placement staff isn't great, either. They write a resume for you and mine had errors. After graduating, I asked for help finding a job. I was referred to a website called simplyhired.com. I guess that is the life long support that the job placement promises. I have expressed my dissatisfaction with the school, and all the Wyotech employees give short, (well practiced?) dismissive answers. They are a business (remember all those television commercials?), in this case a school selling a product- an education. The difference between WyoTech and other businesses is they can blame the customer for failure of there product- you have no legal recourse for product dissatisfaction. My advice to anyone looking to become an automotive tech, or wanting to receive any other type of technical education (including fabrication and welding) is to go to a local community college. Talk to a potential employer. I worked with 3 guys that went to a dealership, started as a lube tech-where you probably would start with a WyoTech education- and in 2 years were certified technicians- and they saved 20,000 dollars. Employers at dealerships and repair shops seem most interested in your ASE or state certifications. Not one potential employer I talked to cared about what I did at WyoTech. If anyone reads this, please don't make the same mistake I did. You don't need (or want) Wyotech to get anywhere. I feel like a fool for trusting them and not doing more homework on my decision on attending WyoTech. Thanks,
Utica, Michigan
