developments in raw material prices
Economic policies in African countries
specially kobalt, wood and iron and oil
Africa needs china much harder
getting more important
statistics not very sure, guestimates
China does not give much aid in cash. Less than usa, france, germany
non-concensional loan are increasing and china is biggest financer of Africa, 10 procent goes to natural resource extraction, Mainly financing infrastructurial projects that meets the countries broader needs
complementory of financing, Focus on production orientated infrastucture rather than social infrastructure
Private flow, even harder to estimate, lots of trade goes through offshore terrotories like singapor and cayman ilsand, New node, FDI is relatively low compared to other countries, but picking up. official numbers might be heavily underestimated, largely in Natural resource extraction, telecommunication, banking and contruction picking up, South Africa, Nigeria, Zambia, Sudan, Algeria, New node
withouth economic policy change
only requirement is '' one china policy''
Package deal, experise. And quick implementation. Very attractive
rather complex, because coordination between all parties
Forum for china and arica corporation, each 3 years, 49 countries and china
Finance projects with expected economic return with less concessional loans or even commercial ones
rol of private firms are growing, Government has less controle over this
financial incentives rather than grants and aids
infrastructural boost
Special economi zones
Dutch disease, explanation, external financing scale up, currency appreciates and makes tradable goods sector less competitive, impact depends on use or absortion of external financing, Country A, external financing is used to pay domestic labor goods and services., leads to inflation and wages and exchange rate appreciation, New node, Country B, external financing is fully matched by imports and external labor is brought in to the ocuntry, no adverse impacts on domestic wages or inflation, chinese case, China mitigates the dutch disease effect through import of chinese laborers, services and goods, if chinese financing is associated with large component of domestic goods and services, discuss with recipient country
Public expenditure management systems, chinese projects so big that risk of overwelming local public investment plans, many African countries have bad PEMs, China has had unique experience in scaling up infrastructure investment, Africa can learn allot from this
Debt sustainability, biggest concern, sub sahara africa had big issues with debt, little concern for china, since write off would be small relative to external reserves, could lead to serious problems for africa, halting supply of raw material, loss of export markets, reactionary policies such as nationalizatio of mines, china focusses on profitability rather than macroeconomic consequences., according to Eximbank, the DSF of imf and WB too static, China backs loans with natural recources due to high risk financing, dangers of these are, price shocks in commodities, not consistent with the practics of official export credit., complictaed the reestructing of debt, should it become necessery, hard to calculte the effective terms of the lending, because of flexible parying schedual and about the oil price shocks
Governance, extraction of natural resources has often been associated with lack of trnasparancy, responsibility of recipient government, extractor has also responsibility of good conduction, China does
growth rate+ investment in Africa
Various reasons
New node
What institutions are there ?, Government vs private
natural resources to stimulate it's own growth, Oil, middle east, diversifying risks, copper, cobalt, coal, ferrochrome, bauxite, manganese, niobium, project in uranium
reinforcing it's own position on rare resources
development aid
Market seeking, selling chinese goods
infrastructural works may be a source of labor for young chinese employees

Residents are seeing increasing numbers of people "from away" turning up in golf shirts at the harness track, the coffee drive-thru and the Hoff, a local roadhouse. A new driving range has been hacked from the bush north of town and planted with grass seed. Expectations are changing.
Back at Cabot Links, a few details are still being ironed out. Workers are finishing a bank of rooms, the on-course trash bins remain on order and a few of Cabot's young staff continue to feel their way through the nuances.
"The majority of our staff have not worked at the higher end of hospitality, or in hospitality at all. They've been hired for their incredible attitudes and we feel that we can teach them everything else," says general manager Andrew Alkenbrack, recruited from the luxury Aman Resorts chain with a mandate to get the details right.
Between golf, food and the region's growing charms, it's tempting to spend a week in Inverness itself. But all of Cape Breton is within easy range, making the town and its services a good base for golfers, families, even budget travellers.
The island can be completely circumnavigated by car in less than 10 hours, so anything is possible as a day trip – even the Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Site, at the opposite tip, which can be reached in less than three hours and is worth the effort.
But it's the Gulf coast that will get the real boost, now that visitors have a high-end option to trump the central B&Bs of Baddeck and remote Keltic Lodge in Ingonish.
After crossing the Canso Causeway from the mainland, many visitors make a beeline for the Cabot Trail, which begins near the island's centre and winds through the pastoral Margaree Valley to Cheticamp and the highlands. It's a traditional journey with roots in the dirt tracks of the settlers, but it bypasses some of Cape Breton's best scenery and culture on the Ceilidh Trail.
From the causeway, the Ceilidh Trail emerges at Creignish, high above the St. Lawrence, where if you stand on your toes, you might see 30 kilometres across St. George's Bay in clear weather. Judique and Mabou are all about Celtic culture and the snug Red Shoe Pub, owned by the musical Rankin family. The Glenora Inn, south of Inverness, offers tours and seminars at North America's first single-malt whiskey distillery, rooms, and a restaurant that might be second only to Cabot's Panorama.
Try anything made with the in-house spirits, especially the palette-cleansing whisky sorbet.
North past Inverness, the rugged shore harbours warm-water beaches and the pretty harbour at Margaree Harbour and Belle Cote, where drivers can pick up the Cabot Trail for Acadian flavour, whale-watching at Cheticamp and the iconic Cape Breton Highlands National Park.
This tartan of beauty and charm hasn't yet made the Gulf coast prosperous; the next step depends on Inverness and Cabot Links. Despite the resort's deepening footprint, it faces an uphill battle to conquer Cape Breton's distant reputation and North America's contracting golf market. Cowan-Dewar takes heart in Keiser's experience at Bandon.
"Even in the current golf climate, Bandon continues to draw golfers from all over the U.S. and Canada. They go for the seaside location and the fun of links golf," he says. "If we're successful, it'll be because we've embodied those characteristics."
Many golf courses bill themselves as links, but Cabot Links is the real thing – sandy and well-draining soil, ocean views, fescue grasses, healthy winds and firm conditions that encourage shots along the wrinkled ground. Walking is the order of the day; caddies and pull carts replace the motorized cart. Consensus has it as the only true 18-hole links between Bandon and Ireland.
Cabot's greens are hardy, but their putting speeds are relatively slow, allowing for the kind of character and contour often lacking in modern golf. The caddy becomes coach and sounding board for every approach: A putt, lob, bump and run, bank shot, knockdown or spinner might be best employed to reach the flag. Albertan designer Rod Whitman, who tramped the Cabot Links property for 31/2 years with Cowan-Dewar and Keiser, found holes that reward creativity rather than obedience.Report Typo/Error

Isn't Anyone Alive? [DVD] Product Description
Please note this is a region 2 DVD and will require a region 2 or region free DVD player in order to play.
When people talk about a bizarre urban myth at a University hospital people start dying inexplicably one after another... With the air of this 'energy void' throughout, the world of this absurd black comedy, based upon the theatre play of the same name, starts to take over the world.
With 'Crazy Thunder Road' (1980), 'Burst City' (1982), 'The Crazy Family' (1984), 'Angel Dust' (1994), 'Electric Dragon 80,000V' (2001) and more, Gakuryu Ishii (previously known as Sogo Ishii) has been amusing us with his talent of totally overstepping genre boundaries with striking images and music. In his latest feature film he has adapted the Shiro Maeda play 'Isn't Anyone Alive', an avant-garde story of 18 young students dying one after another.

I got my email with my opportunity to preorder today (I was signed up on a list). I think it's a flat-out sexy gun. The long barrel/small package is obviously the selling point.
They look to be a very high quality firearm, and I think Arne has done his best to try and work the kinks out.
I would very much like to buy one, but at this point I am not ready to pay $950 on a gun without a lifetime warranty; and I'd really prefer a shorter grip to compete with the cm9/pm9.
I'll pass. Almost a grand for a gun that the slide can't lock back on when empty, has just a 3 year warranty and has a completely unproven operating system? Nope.

Junior defensive back Aashari Crosswell is among the top safety prospects in the 2018 class. He's an early four-star recruit and rated the No. 65 overall player in the class.
Crosswell is intriguing for a number of reasons. He has a long, athletic frame with plenty of room to add additional weight without getting bulky or too top heavy. He has always been able to cover well for a safety, is a physical player who loves to hit but has the range to make plays in the secondary as well.
On the recruiting front, Crosswell said he's hearing the most from the Michigan Wolverines, Tennessee Volunteers, UCLA Bruins and USC Trojans. He took summer visits to Arizona and Notre Dame and said he plans to take all five of his official visits before making a decision.
To hear more from Crosswell including his thoughts on each of his schools and the one college he knows he'll visit officially, check out the video below:

Two categories of news the press has studiously avoided during the Obama era came together this week, causing it to (in my view) proactively decide to ignore emotional congressional testimony which should have been front-page news almost everywhere.
The first is their virtually complete disinterest in reporting on congressional hearings. The list is longer than can be recounted here, but certainly includes Operation Fast & Furious, the IRS targeting scandal (now on Day 1,025) and implementation of Obamacare. The second is their reluctance to report any news casting the government's handling of legal and illegal immigration in a bad light. Leo Perrero's shocking testimony, which detailed the treatment of American IT workers at Disney who were replaced by lower-skilled foreign workers they were required to train, contained both elements. It was thus ripe to be ignored — and was.
The H-1B visa program has been under considerable fire for some time. Outrage has grown in recent years as several U.S. companies — certainly far more than are widely known — have brazenly brought in foreign workers to replace U.S. citizens on their payroll and demanded that those being released train their replacements or face loss of severance pay or even immediate termination.
This is what has occurred at Disney.
Thursday afternoon, displaced Disney worker Leo Perrero testified at a hearing held by the Senate Subcommittee on Immigration and the National Interest headed by Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions. The Associated Press did not cover it (as seen here and here in searches on Perrero's last name and here in a search on "Disney" which returns no relevant results). Neither did the New York Times, though the Old Gray Lady did have a story on January 26 when Perrero and another former Disney coworker filed a lawsuit against the company.
Here is what Perrero had to say:
Transcript (bold are mine):
LEO PERRERO: I made a change in the direction of my career because January 31 of 2015 was my last day in the technology field. That day, 20 years of hard work, a bachelors degree in information technology, and an IT job for Disney were all over when my team, along with hundreds of others, were displaced by a less-skilled foreign workforce imported into our country using the H-1B visa program.
The former Disney employees with far superior skills and knowledge were the trainers, and the guest workers just entering the technology field were the trainees.
This situation is far from the original intent of this program, and is shocking to everybody that hears it.
I worked at Disney in Orlando in some capacity for 10 years and received the very highest employee performance review. Quotes included, "Leo continues to provide value to our team"; "this year Leo was instrumental"; "Leo saved the company over $10,000." And finally, "I look forward to another great year of having Leo on our team."
During the holiday season of 2014, I was sent a meeting invitation by a prominent Disney executive. With an excellent review and hand along with the company announcement of record profits, my mind buzzed with thoughts of a promotion or bonus.
I walked into a small conference room with two dozen highly respected fellow IT workers. The Disney executive made a harsh announcement to us all: "All of you in this room will be losing your jobs in the next 90 days. Your jobs have been given over to a foreign workforce. In the meantime, you will be training your replacements until your jobs are 100% transferred over to them, and if you do not cooperate you will not receive any severance pay."
The only glimmer of hope during that meeting was the announcement that new, more exciting jobs would be opening soon. However, we found out that only four people would be directly rehired by Disney out of the hundreds that were lost.
I was completely silent during this meeting, thinking how this was going to affect my coworkers. How was I going to break the news to my family and pay all of our expenses? I would soon be living on unemployment ... (pauses to compose himself)
Later that same day, I clearly remember going to the local church pumpkin sale and having to tell the kids that I couldn't buy any that year because my job was being turned over to a foreign worker ... (pauses again)
I started to think, what kind of American I was becoming. Was I going to become part of ruining our country by taking severance pay in exchange for training my foreign replacement? How many other American families would be affected by this same foreign worker that I trained?
The first part of my 90 day period was focused on capturing all that we did with our jobs. We all felt extremely humiliated foreign workers sat next to us and watched everything that we did ... (pauses again)
The final period of the 90 days was the most disgraceful, and demoralizing as we had to watch the foreign workers completely take over our jobs, and we came to grips that the upcoming Disney jobs promised didn't exist.
Then finally on January 31, 2015, we were ordered to turn in our company badges, laptops, and then ushered out the door.
How can it be that everybody that hears these stories about Disney and the like, from the barbers to the bankers, are completely shocked? Yet our lawmakers continue to evade the topic and take no action.
The reason that more affected IT workers don't come out into the public is two-fold. And that is why most lawmakers mostly hear from the tech giants, and are very rarely heard from the displaced American workers who will disclose themselves publicly.
The first reason is that they're scared to find the next IT job. After being displaced, when that job pool is shrinking for Americans, if they speak out, they will certainly not improve their prospects of landing the next job. But this could permanently bar them from the field, when the large portion of large technology companies are exploiting these visa programs.
One of my former peers, who is now working for a consulting company, decided to speak out publicly. He was told he had to stop immediately, since most of his clientele were large Fortune 500 companies, and they used the H-1B program extensively.
The second reason that more of them don't speak out is for legal intimidation reasons. From gag orders signed when American workers sign severance package agreements, the American IT worker feels they are legally bound to keep that situation quiet, and at most speak anonymously.
I'm appearing today because I'm one of the few workers who can speak out in public, because I made the decision to walk away from technology.
This abuse of the H-1B visa program is not about the lack of talent here in the US. If our own pool of IT professionals were so incompetent, then why would companies like Disney and many others have us spend months training our replacements? And also, why would such a low ratio of US STEM graduates land a STEM job?
The situation at Disney is not an anomaly. The same abuse is happening nationwide.
Some quotes from IT workers that I've worked with:
- "I know that jobs like mine are scarce, because they're filled with H-1B employees." (Jeff, current Disney employee)
- "The big tech giants say they don't have enough skilled workers, which is false. This will become a self-fulfilling prophecy as we have more students opt out of technology as they continue to recruit from developing countries." (Matt, former Disney employee)
- "Unemployment hurts. I ran out of benefits and I have to pay for full COBRA insurance which is over $3,000 per month, because my young daughter suffers from anxiety. Besides that, I have a mortgage, utilities, schooling and job searching to pay for. As my young daughter outgrows her clothes, that is even more money." (former IBM worker)
That's all I have to say this afternoon. Thank you for listening.
How sad it is that the best coverage of Perrero's testimony is at the UK Daily Mail, which apparently cares more about the fate of American workers than this nation's own establishment press. A search at Google News on Perrero's full name this evening at 11:30 p.m. returned only 26 items — and most of them were from center-right blogs and outlets.
How ironic it is that whenever employers bring in replacement workers during a union strike, it is automatically considered news among (largely unionized) establishment media journalists. But when a company deliberately displaces loyal workers who have shown up and done their jobs for years, and in some cases decades, and one of them has the courage to speak out against this abuse — well, it's obviously not all that important.

Discussion in 'Virtual Magic Kingdom (VMK) Museum' started by Nanoer, Jun 11, 2006.
didn't alter this in any way go check in lobby if you want
Great job nano... but I know your secret. A certain person told me lol.
Log in or Sign up
to hide this advert.
lol hmm..wonder who that could have been
LOL, pirate.. I saw you were playing too, did you help nano?..
Pshhh! Highlight>>yes she let him win!
Ah... That explains EVERYTHING! Lol.
well i still beat her and that's what counts now if she gave in on purpose
I still don't understand how the high score board works. Is that your score during one round only rather than the whole game? I've gotten many scores for the total game in that range but never seem to make it onto the board. Just wondering....
Thanks for any help with understanding this!
i did it earlier on if the scores are higher than what you got but in that range it doesn't matter you have to beat the current scores to get on the list
Congrats Nanoer!
just looked at the high scores and some guy has 64100 now I have never ever seen anyone score points like that without help if he did he is really an awesome POC player.
the highest you can get without "cheating" is 28K
so the highest score you can get without cheating is 28,000 ???
Thats not true.
Its not that difficult to get in the mid-30's to high 30's
that is what I was thinking also, but in the 60,000's how much of a feat is that?
well i could show you the math...
With out cheating id say maybe 45,000 would be the top, I have hit 44,700
against and with 7 other players i didnt know.
so how did this player get in the 60's if you do not want to post please PM me...very curious indeed.
First I would like to assert that I am a little rusty on pirates. I have scored in the 40K-45K on occasions. Usually it is with 4 on 4 and the team members on both sides are not very good or not aware that they should not pick up health if they are losing badly.
Occasionally you get someone that is determined they can kill you even though they are losing so they keep recharging. I would theorize under the exact right conditions it would not be because of "cheating" if the other players just won't die and it is not a "canned" game.
With that said people can run up the score with a version of what some have called "sitting ducks" where one team voluntarily losses badly instead of just losing they continue to get health so the other team continues to get points.
Generally speaking there is two purposes to doing this, one would be to get the loot. I believe top score or high scores win bonus credits and the also win invisibility magic in a certificate. Sorry it has been a while so the prizes may be different. The other reason would be to say hey look at me.
I only got 750 credits
Yes, which is why its a 1000 credits per 100 wins.
Just got my 12th
1000 bonus this morning.
Currently it is a 750 credit bonus if you get to the high score board.
First time you get the invisibility spell from normal method.
After that the first time you hit the high score board its a certificate to turn in.
After that its the 750 credit bonus.
eat this bc i know dude he is the best player in vmk he is to good when we play to on for his score goes off the top well mine still around 20000

Clinton campaign struggled to balance unions, environmentalists -emails/WikiLeaks
By Valerie Volcovici
WASHINGTON Oct 7 (Reuters) - Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton struggled with how to secure the endorsement of labor unions while announcing her opposition to the Keystone XL oil pipeline, a project they supported but environmentalists opposed, according to leaked emails published by Wikileaks on Friday.
Before announcing in September 2015 that she opposed TransCanada Corp's proposal to build a pipeline from Canada to the United States, her campaign sought to "soften the blow" to labor unions by offering an energy infrastructure plan that would create jobs, according to the emails.
The internal campaign emails from August 2015 reveal the difficulty Clinton had in appeasing both unions and environmentalists as she fought for her party's nomination ahead of the Nov. 8 election.
Wikileaks published the Clinton emails just hours after the U.S. government accused Russia of a campaign of cyber attacks against Democratic Party organizations.
In the emails, Clinton advisers discussed how to frame the candidate's "energy infrastructure" plan, which would call for replacing old pipelines, repairing rail tracks and improving the electric grid in a way that would appeal to labor unions, who had yet to endorse her at that stage.
"Could we mention that ... as we transition HRC wants to create more careers within the new energy economy? Careers is their buzz word," wrote Nikki Budzinski, labor outreach director for Hillary for America.
Clinton had long avoided taking a firm position on Keystone, which had been pending for seven years, as she sought her party's nomination last year. As secretary of state, Clinton said in 2010 she was inclined to approve it.
Rival Senator Bernie Sanders had been a staunch opponent of the pipeline. President Barack Obama did not reject the pipeline until November 2015. Continued...

I was on a call with a client who was trying to consolidate dozens of transactional systems into a single model to support a more effective reporting paradigm. The envisioned solution focused on self-service, visual analytics, while also supporting more traditional reporting.
This client's challenges were similar to what many other businesses face today. They wanted:
The client wasn't questioning whether or not there was value in the Project ahead. Their questions were focused on the best approach. Do we pursue a big bang approach, or pursue something more agile in nature?
Upon further discussion and reflection, the objectives of the program seemed to be a perfect case for agile. Let's talk about why.
While the client knew the value of the Project, we discussed how, in reality, data projects can die on the vine when the value isn't apparent to the Business funding the initiative, or the IT executives who need to demonstrate their operational ROI. As such, the ability to demonstrate value early and often becomes critical to building and keeping the momentum necessary to drive projects and programs across the finish line.
Project sponsors need to constantly be selling the value up to their management and across to the ultimate customer. Iterative wins become selling points that allow them to do so.
To truly understand what can be delivered (and by when) means accurately assessing how much work is in front of you, and how quickly your team can deliver with quality.
This example project was as new as the client's team. For them, the most logical approach was to start doing the work to learn more about the work itself as well as the team. After a few iterations, the answers to the following questions become clearer:
Anyone who relies on data, whether they are business or IT, have their go-to sources that they rely on. To get an individual to embrace a new source for all of their information and reporting needs requires that the new source be intuitive to use, performant, and above all, trustworthy.

By Kevin Johnson, USA TODAY
WASHINGTON Attorneys for a former USA TODAY reporter plan to ask a federal appeals court today to suspend the payment of thousands of dollars in fines imposed for failing to identify sources who named former Army scientist Steven Hatfill as a possible suspect in the 2001 anthrax attacks.
The emergency request to the U.S. Court of Appeals comes after a federal judge late Friday night ordered Toni Locy to begin paying fines of up to $5,000 per day out of her own pocket so long as she refuses to identify her sources.
One of the lawyers representing Locy, now a West Virginia University journalism professor, called the fines "unprecedented." Les Machado said the defense will ask the appeals court to postpone the payments pending appeal of the contempt order by U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton.
Walton ordered Locy to pay the fine, not her former employer or others. "Her mother can't even help," said Machado.
Locy said she cannot afford the escalating payments, the first of which is due midnight Tuesday. Walton has ordered her to pay $500 a day for the first week, $1,000 a day for the second week and $5,000 a day for a third week. He has scheduled a hearing for April 3 to consider additional action to gain Locy's compliance.
"I don't have $46,000 lying around," Locy said Sunday. "…Can he freeze my bank accounts? Can he take my house?"
Machado said it was unclear what Walton might do if his client cannot pay the fines, though one option could be to order Locy to prison. "This whole thing is unprecedented," he said.
Locy is one of six reporters Hatfill subpoenaed to disclose government sources who named him as a possible suspect in the anthrax attacks. The poison was mailed to several East Coast locations, killing five people.
Lawyers for the former scientist say they need the sources to pursue his lawsuit against the government. Four of the reporters obtained waivers from their sources, allowing them to identify the officials. Walton is considering a contempt order against a fifth reporter.
Locy says that as a USA TODAY reporter she spoke to a number of officials regarding the anthrax case on the condition that she would not name them, but cannot remember which sources linked Hatfill to the government's inquiry.
Hatfill, who was publicly identified in 2002 by then-attorney general John Ashcroft as a "person of interest" in the attacks, has never been charged. His lawsuit claims irreparable damage to his reputation.
In his ruling, Walton said he "appreciates the importance of the media's ability to freely report the news in a democratic society like the United States. But just as the First Amendment is a fundamental component of the American system, so too is the rule of law."
USA TODAY Editor Ken Paulson called Walton's decision "deeply disappointing."
"By all accounts, Toni Locy reported accurately what government officials told her about one of the most important criminal investigations in modern history, yet she faces the real prospect of financial ruin," Paulson said. "Surely, the First Amendment guarantee of a free press means that reporters shouldn't have to choose between principle and poverty."
Lucy Dalglish, executive director of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, said Sunday that the advocacy group would file court documents supporting Locy's appeal. "This is crazy," she said. "The judge is trying to force Gannett (the parent of USA TODAY) into participating in some kind of settlement. It's all about money. If that is what's going on here, then we are truly in a frightening place."
Last Thursday, the Senate Judiciary Committee's chairman and ranking Republican cited the Locy case in a letter urging Senate leaders to consider legislation shielding reporters from being forced to identify confidential sources.
"Scores of reporters have been questioned by federal prosecutors about their sources, notes and reports in recent years, and there is definitely a chilling effect as a result," Sens. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., and Arlen Specter, R-Pa., said.

Argyle 1Bolasie 90
Southampton 3Lambert 45, pen 59, Dickson 49
by RICK COWDERY
PLYMOUTH Argyle's brief stay in npower League 1 was brought to an end in their penultimate game of probably the worst, and certainly the saddest, season in their 124-year history.
It is testimony to the pride and commitment that the players lasted the best part of 45 games before having their place in the third tier of English football ripped from them by a rampant Southampton who will now only be denied automatic promotion by a miracle of New Testament proportions.
After three winding-up orders; administration; the loss of ten points; the sale of two strikers who have scored getting on for 30 goals between them for their new employers; the shedding of further playing staff which has lately made fielding a full match-day squad something of a luxury; the redundancy of 20% of Home Park office staff; the non-payment of the players since before Christmas; and remaining office staff having to rely on handouts from more-than-generous fans simply to live, it was something of a miracle we all got to the penultimate game of the season before the inevitable happened.
Showing the spirit that has typified the whole club for the last six months - one or two forgivable blips aside - Argyle went under with their heads held high. Every one of them who has represented the club, on and off the field, deserves better than their fate.
The greatest tribute they can be given now is for the future of the club they have kept alive to be resolved as swiftly and as cleanly as possible: no more fannying around. By anyone. Just get it sorted and let's get prepared for next season in League 2.
The final straw that broke the back of the ownerless Pilgrims arrived after half-time when Ryan Dickson stabbed home the ball in front of the red-and-white bedecked Barn Park end. The ex-Argyle junior then gracelessly completed the killing off of his former club by dancing on their grave.
Dickson's strike came swiftly after Ricky Lambert's opener a minute before the interval of a game in which, for the most part, it was impossible to discern on which side of the financial divide, and in which half of the division, the protagonists resided.
A later Lambert penalty heaped on more woes upon a woeful nine months and Yala Bolasie's tap home deep into injury time was little consolation.
Argyle manager Peter Reid's initial team selection had suggested he was not prepared to die wondering.
Out from the side that had lost 1-0 at Exeter two days previously went a midfielder, Luke Summerfield, to be replaced by a player with greater natural attacking instincts, Rory Patterson.
The Northern Ireland international formed one third of a support unit behind the other Rory, with Yala Bolasie and Kári Árnason also deputed to get forward when conditions dictated.
Southampton, fresh from a 3-0 win at Brentford, freshened up their side with three changes: Saltash-born Dickson replaced left-back Dan Harding, Danny Butterfield bumped right-back and captain Frazer Richardson down to the bench; and Dale Stephens replaced right-side midfielder Guilherme Do Prado.
Also among the Saints embarrassment of riches on the bench were Morgan Schneiderlin and Lee Holmes.
For a team that wears green, Argyle have had the rub far too seldom this season and it did not take long for another what-might-have-been moment to roll around.
This time, Bolasie was at the centre of things when he slipped inside Dickson around the penalty spot, only to end up flat on his face. Although that has not been an uncommon happening this season, on this occasion he did appear to arrive on the turf with the help of the former Pilgrims' junior. Seen them given.
Perhaps the evidence that Southampton's defence had been unhinged relatively easily gave the Pilgrims heart - perhaps it was the nothing-to-lose situation but, whatever, Argyle got stuck into their opponents with plenty of relish.
None more so that Árnason, who lived up to the hard man persona of the now California politician with who he shares a nickname by ruthlessly terminating a couple of the Saints' best midfield moves.
Argyle, though, showed themselves capable of switching from the ugly to the beautiful. Most notably with a sweeping end to end passing move that involved half the team and a dozen passes which ripped Southampton apart.
The final touch was with Southampton goalkeeper Kelvin Davies, however, as he tipped away Fallon's header following Jim Paterson's measured left-wing shot.
Saints' game appeared to be a patient one - which, of course, it could be - and, although they did not really trouble the Pilgrims, both Stephens, with a shot, and David Connolly, with a run that was snuffed out by Stéphane Zubar, worked decent positions.
By and large, though, the Pilgrims' commitment and concentration, in defence especially, was commendable and containing.
They were given a sharpener towards the interval, when Adama Lallana's work in the box saw the ball fall to Butterfield, who scooped a shot over the crossbar with his wrong foot.
Another scare followed immediately after Lambert headed Dickson's whipped-in free-kick from the right flank back across Button's goal, but Jose Fonte did not fancy tangling with Zubar and the giant Guadeloupian cleared easily.
With 17-year-old Nelson - given a Football League Apprentice of the Month award before the game - matching his senior central defensive partner in the timely intervention category, Argyle's defence looked solid.
Referee Andy Woolmer continued to do Argyle few favours, missing Radhi Jaidi's raised arm towards Karl Duguid, but seeing the retaliation; and penalising Fallon for an indiscernible foul on Davies, who spilled the ball at Patterson's feet.
The Pilgrims' defence was finally breached in the last minute of the half, when Lambert rose a little too easily to head Butterfield's right-wing delivery back across Button and past his left hand. Reid and Adam Sadler on the bench clearly felt that the ease with which Lambert scored had much to do with a push on Zubar.
The final two minutes of the half were chaotic as police struggled to sort out Southampton fans who had breached the home areas and who had been flushed out by the goal, and the aggrieved and - it has to be said - hard done by Argyle players launched into their markers with a freedom that further suggested Woolmer was not entirely in control of affairs.
The break gave everyone a chance to cool down and, afterwards, Southampton strode away
They doubled their lead within five minutes of the restart when Dickson finished off some penalty-area pinball, and put themselves well and truly out of reach 10 minutes later when Nelson tripped Lambert to concede a penalty from which the Southampton striker rose to score his second.
Man of the match Bolasie briefly lifted Pilgrim spirits at the death, slotting home a Mason lay off but, by then, it was all over.

Sleeping Bulldog Bed and Breakfast, Seattle
Great! I highly recommend.
I really enjoyed my stay at the Sleeping Bulldog. I stayed at this B and B because it was in a central location for my business trip, and the prices were much more reasonable than hotels closer to Capitol Hill/downtown. It is a very quiet place in a residential neighborhood, with easy street parking and beautiful mountain views from the living/dining room. My room was hotel-quality, and was tended to on a daily basis during my stay. They supply pretty much everything a hotel would- shampoos, hair dryer, etc. The bed was comfortable. I was greeted by Korby, one of the owners, in the morning. He is such a nice guy, and truly made me feel like I was at home. The dogs are adorable and well-behaved. Breakfast was absolutely amazing and quite filling and check out was easy. I would definitely recommend to folks looking for an upscale but reasonably priced place to stay in Seattle.
Sleeping Bulldog Bed and Breakfast, Seattle
Everything was great. Good service, friendly and accommodating. We didn't have a problem with the number of steps up to the room, but it was a bit difficult to carry baggage and could be a problem for elderly persons or handicapped.

Alaska's climate change deniers just got a scary wake-up call. The Iditarod's ceremonial opening race was almost canceled from lack of snow. To salvage it, officials shipped 300 cubic yards of snow to Anchorage by train. This was to supplement stockpiles of snow already stored in the city. The crowd-pleasing start still had to be cut short, from the traditional 11 miles to just 3.

Concerns remain about the rest of the race. Other portions of the route have also received too little snow. Poor ground conditions make the already dangerous 1,000-plus mile race even more treacherous. Dogs can lose their footing, sleds can break, and the risk of injury multiplies. Some mushers have considered not participating.
This was the fourth warmest February on record in Anchorage, with only 1.8 inches of snowfall. Such unseasonable weather continues the recent trend; Alaskan winters are getting warmer. Lack of snow has hampered the Iditarod for the past three years. Last year's race was relocated to Fairbanks, nearly 300 miles north of its traditional, historical route. On the first day of this year's competition, temperatures rose above freezing.
Read More: Republican Tries To Debunk Global Warming With A Snowball
Though Alaska is already showing the symptoms of global warming more than any other US state, its politicians are among the loudest, most stubborn climate change deniers. Oil companies, who are among the largest campaign spenders, have effectively portrayed human-caused climate change as a "liberal agenda" or an unsubstantiated theory. Hopefully this year's Iditarod will make some Alaskans reconsider the scientific evidence before it's too late.

Last summer, Acer dropped a capable, if simplistic, budget Windows tablet called the Aspire Switch 10. Nothing fancy, but a fine effort to bring the basics to the masses at a price everyone could like.
Acer Aspire Switch 10 Special Edition
Super cheap at $350. Considerably brighter screen than previous model, plus slightly longer battery life. Bundled with a free 16GB MicroSD card!
Incredibly slow, to the point where it impacts productivity. Overload of shovelware generates a flood of pop-ups. First unit we received crashed and burned during testing, had to be replaced.
How We Rate
- 1/10A complete failure in every way
- 2/10Sad, really
- 3/10Serious flaws; proceed with caution
- 4/10Downsides outweigh upsides
- 5/10Recommended with reservations
- 6/10Solid with some issues
- 7/10Very good, but not quite great
- 8/10Excellent, with room to kvetch
- 9/10Nearly flawless
- 10/10Metaphysical perfection
Acer's just updated the Switch 10 has been upgraded, at least in name, bringing it into the Windows 10 era and taking another axe to the price. The Switch 10 Special Edition is a mere $350, undercutting all but the cheapest of iPads while packing considerably better.
"Special Edition" is not marketing-speak for a fancy paint job and some light effects. The Switch 10 is indeed better in several meaningful ways. First, Acer redesigned the chassis, ditching a rear aluminum cover for Gorilla Glass 3. I thought using glass on the back of a device was falling out of favor, but perhaps the idea still has legs. Using glass instead of aluminum doesn't alter the weight of the tablet in any meaningful way.
The Special Edition also features a detachable and reversible keyboard, just like its predecessor, but Acer revamped the magnetic hinge to consummate the connection even more smoothly. I didn't notice much difference from last year's version, and the system works very well.
Finally, the new model features screen technology called LumiFlex, designed to optimize outdoor readability, and Acer Bluelight Shield, designed to reduce blue light intensity and reduce eye strain over long periods of use. I tried using the Switch outside with and without LumiFlex and didn't notice a discernible difference—though the Switch is much brighter than the previous model, and at least passably usable in direct sunlight anyway. The Bluelight feature will be a matter of personal taste, but I found the greenish/yellowish cast it gave to the screen a bit nauseating, and not worth any benefit it may have been providing to my eyes.
Not much has changed under the hood. The tablet still features absolutely minimal specs—a 1.33GHz Atom, 2 gigs of RAM, 64 gigs of flash storage, and a 10.1-inch touchscreen. The Special Addition gets a small tweak to screen resolution and aspect ratio, to 1280 x 800 pixels. Ports include the same micro USB, HDMI, and SD card slots. On the keyboard unit, an extra (full size) USB 2.0 port remains. The whole package is 1mm thicker than last year's model but otherwise cuts nearly the same profile in your backpack or on your desk.
The 2014 Aspire was hardly a powerhouse in the performance department, but time—and likely the OS upgrade—have not been kind to the device. While the old Aspire crawled through benchmarks, the Special Edition fares even worse, seeing a performance decrease of roughly 10 percent in all areas. That's significant when you're dealing with a system that always felt slow to begin with. Even boot time is two seconds longer.
But my biggest complaint is the touchscreen. The screen on last year's model was responsive and accurate; this one is anything but. Tapping icons or menu items within Windows was frustratingly erratic. I'd often find myself tapping the same spot three or four times just to close a window or choose a selection successfully. With the 2014 Aspire, I eschewed the touchpad in favor of the touchscreen. In 2015, I did the opposite.
So we get to the bottom line: It's upgraded to Windows 10, it's less expensive, it's slower, and the touchscreen is awfully buggy. Yes, it's even cheaper than the already cheap 2014 Aspire 10, but now it's starting to feel like too many corners have been cut, sacrificing usability in the name of an attractive price point.
Or maybe I'm just not understanding what Acer meant by calling this a "Special" edition.

Whether or not you believe in global warming, it is hard to ignore the fact that price increases in energy and raw materials affect all of us. There may not ultimately be sufficient resources on the globe to meet our needs unless we all step up to embrace dramatic innovations and take action, no matter how small the act. "Sustainability is one of the most critical stories of our age. We would be shirking our obligations if we ignored it." (Fast Company, September 2008, p. 12)
"Going Green" is our opportunity to implement and support environmental sustainability initiatives and emphasize positive potential found in new ideas and new technology. Here's some of our Career Services sustainability initiatives undertaken in the past two years:
Our department will continue to identify and address future issues and the implications of globalization and trends. "Boundary-less" career development is taking place on a global scale. Seeking solutions, no matter how seemingly insignificant, is critical. Graduates will need to better understand the nature of the international workplace and be exposed to cultural competencies in order to be prepared for the college to work transition. Emerging occupations related to environmental remediation, health, medicine, alternative energy, artificial intelligence, e-products—all will be highly competitive. Students will need to look beyond major and coursework to how the energy crisis affects businesses and individual futuristic needs and occupations and see career transition as a life-long pursuit.

Get the Town newsletter
16:58 13th February 2010
Town fans will have left the Galpharm Stadium wondering how their side did not win this promotion battle against Swindon after Lee Clark's side dominated the second-half.
The Robins were impressive during the first 45 minutes and led by a single goal at the break despite Peter Clarke's opener, but Antony Kay's early goal in the second-half set up a pulsating encounter and it was a great surprise that no more goals were added to the scoreline.
An early move from the Terriers down the right flank almost led to half a chance for Lee Novak, who had been restored to the starting line-up in place of Nathan Eccleston; however, the striker's touch to divert Pilkington's cross away from a defender diverted the ball behind for a goal kick.
The same duo combined again in the fourth minute to create another half-chance - the winger turned full-back Jean-Francois before crossing to the near post and although Novak got in front of his marker, he could only divert his volley wide of the near post.
GOAL - After a succession of Town corners and great early pressure from Lee Clark's side, they deservedly took the lead through skipper Peter Clarke's superb 8th minute strike. A deep corner delivered by Roberts from the right was cleared to the left corner, where Clarke stepped inside his marker before running towards goal down the dead ball line. Just as it looked like the Captain would cross, Peter looked up and squeezed a shot between 'keeper Lucas and the near post to give his side the lead.
GOAL - However, the Terriers were immediately pegged back a minute later when Swindon striker Charlie Austin scored a quick-fire equaliser. Bolton loanee winger Danny Ward found space on the Town right to cross from the corner and the striker nipped between the two Town centre-backs to power home a header from extremely close range, leaving Alex Smithies absolutely no chance.
Swindon created another good chance in the 14th minute, when some patient build-up play saw the ball worked to the visitor's right for winger JP McGovern; he crossed left-footed into the box and found the head of top scorer Billy Paynter, but the big forward could only divert his header straight at Smithies from fifteen yards.
Town tried to fight back, with Pilkington's 25-yard free-kick almost deflecting into the path of Novak at the far post in the 24th minute before falling to safety.
The game was interestingly poised, with a good battle developing between Ward and Peltier on the Town right and Jordan Rhodes causing the Swindon defence problems with willing running at the other end.
GOAL - Swindon attacked again in the 28th minute and took the lead for the first time in the game through Danny Ward. A long clearance out of defence was flicked on by Paynter before Austin played the ball to the left side; Ward stepped infield before sending a low shot towards goal that cut between Peltier and Trotman before nestling in the bottom corner of the goal.
Swindon 'keeper Lucas came to the rescue for his side a minute later after Town had forced a left-sided corner. Pilkington delivered a dangerous, pacey cross to the near post where big Neal Trotman rose highest to nod towards goal, but the custodian did very well to push the ball to safety with Novak in close attendance. The ball fell to the edge of the box where Michael Collins volleyed towards goal, but his effort clipped the top of the netting before falling to safety.
A Town short corner on the left side created another chance for the home side in the 33rd minute, with Pilkington's looping cross finding the head of Kay inside the area; his header skimmed off defender Jean-Francois before falling to Rhodes at the back post, but he could only drill the ball into the wrong side of the side netting from an acute angle.
BOOKING - Swindon full-back Kevin Amankwaah picked up the first booking of the game in the 39th minute for a trip on Pilkington down the left flank; from the resulting free-kick Lucas made an outstanding save to tip Rhodes' header around the post, but as it stood the striker was deemed to have been offside at the time anyway.
Lee Novak then spurned a glorious chance to level the scores just two minutes before the half-time break. Smithies' long clearance out of his hands found the head of Rhodes and from his flick Roberts cleverly turned the ball inside first-time into the path of the striker. Novak took two steps into space on the edge of the box before shooting, but could only send his effort wide of the 'keeper's right-hand post.
Lucas then pulled off another outstanding save as the half drew to a close, pushing Novak's powerful header from Pilkington's excellent cross over the bar when it looked certain that Town had levelled.
The last meaningful action of the half saw Smithies comfortably smother Paynter's twenty yard snapshot.
The second half started at a frenetic pace and some early pressure soon heralded a Town equaliser.
GOAL - Antony Kay netted a 50th minute equaliser for the Terriers from a right-sided corner. Pilkington won the set piece on the flank, with his cross being deflected behind by midfielder Douglas; Roberts took the delivery and at first it looked like Neal Trotman would connect at the near post, but the ball travelled further into the box and Kay smashed a header home from close range.
Pilkington went close to giving the Terriers a lead soon afterwards, but his powerful drive from 25 yards was excellently turned around the left-hand post by 'keeper Lucas. The resulting corner was cleared as far as Michael Collins on the edge of the box who volleyed towards goal, only to see his shot cleared off the line by Swindon's Simon Ferry.
Clark's side were putting their opponents under constant pressure by this stage and Rhodes went close with an acrobatic volley just before the hour mark, but in the end he scuffed his effort wide.
SUB - Swindon boss Danny Wilson made his first change in the 62nd minute, with former Carlisle striker Vincent Pericard replacing Charlie Austin.
The substitute was immediately in the action, picking up a clever reverse pass from McGovern before racing into the area - however, he was stopped in his tracks by an excellent covering block from skipper Clarke. The resulting corner was nodded across goal by Paynter, but none of his teammates could convert the ball.
Novak pulled another outstanding save out of 'keeper Lucas on the stroke of the 68th minute. The striker latched onto Kay's ball down the line before stepping inside and smashing a dipping volley towards goal from 25 yards, but somehow the 'keeper tipped the ball over the bar at full stretch.
SUB - Swindon made their second substitution in the 75th minute, with midfielder Craig Easton replacing Simon Ferry.
Kay's deflected shot then dropped just over the Swindon crossbar, with the referee bizarrely awarding a goal kick despite the obvious change of direction.
SUB - Lee Clark made his first change soon afterwards, with Theo Robinson replacing Jordan Rhodes.
An 84th minute corner from Roberts found the heads of Peter Clarke and then Trotman before the 'keeper caught the ball and then the lively Robinson was inches away from connecting with Novak's low cross.
Robinson blazed over the bar with his left foot soon after before Man of the Match Clarke had a back post header cleared off the line from yet another corner.

Alex Smithies; Dean Heffernan, Peter Clarke (c), Neal Trotman, Lee Peltier; Gary Roberts, Antony Kay, Michael Collins, Anthony Pilkington; Lee Novak, Jordan Rhodes (Theo Robinson 78)

More than 12 million people are at risk of starvation in Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, and other parts of East Africa, equivalent to the population of Ohio or Florida. Hundreds of thousands refugees have fled the drought-stricken region, and in the past three months, nearly 30,000 children have died. Yet the crisis has raised little attention in America. Private relief agencies are facing record low donations. The federal government is cutting its budget for humanitarian aid. And few Americans report even paying attention to the disaster.
Even though the need is great, some relief organizations are finding it difficult to raise the funds needed to assist the area. Jeff Palmer, executive director of Baptist Global Response, said the Southern Baptist international relief fund is operating with just enough funds for six months. Contributions from Southern Baptist churches to the fund in 2010 were the lowest in 20 years, with the fund receiving only 40 percent of what it did just a year earlier.
"We are now at a 'red alert' time for our human needs funding," Palmer said. "These projects help the poorest of the poor, the most neglected and marginalized and some of the most lost people groups in the world. We are approaching a baseline where we are going to have to start denying funds to critical projects."
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced that the U.S. is sending $122 million to the region, bringing the total U.S. assistance to the region to more than $580 million to help with food distribution, nutrition, clean water, sanitation, healthcare, and security. Overall, around 4.6 million people are assisted through U.S. funds.

"The Notebook" - Ryan wanted Rachel thrown off the set!
Things weren't always romantic on the set of The Notebook. In an interview with VH1, director Nick Cassavetes talked about the tension between the film's stars, Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling.
Nick says, "Maybe I'm not supposed to tell this story, but they were really not getting along one day on set. Really not. And Ryan came to me, and there's 150 people standing in this big scene, and he says, 'Nick come here.' And he's doing a scene with Rachel and he says, 'Would you take her out of here and bring in another actress to read off camera with me?' I said, 'What?' He says, 'I can't. I can't do it with her. I'm just not getting anything from this.'"
He continues, "We went into a room with a producer; they started screaming and yelling at each other. I walked out. At that point I was smoking cigarettes. I smoked a cigarette and everybody came out like, 'All right let's do this.' And it got better after that. They had it out… I think Ryan respected her for standing up for her character and Rachel was happy to get that out in the open. The rest of the film wasn't smooth sailing, but it was smoother sailing."
Even with the on-set tension Rachel and Ryan went on to a real-life romance from 2005 to 2007 with a brief reunion in 2008. The Notebook is celebrating its 10th anniversary.

Reward Yourself with a Proper Pint from Greene King
Greene King wants to highlight the heroic jobs that men do and reward them for their efforts with a well-earned pint of Greene King IPA.
A hard day's work for the modern man has changed somewhat, now Greene King believe that men should be rewarded for tasks that can sometimes be taken for granted. A popular activity is the capturing, disposal and sometimes execution of spiders in the household, despite the non-venomous nature of spiders in the United Kingdom this is a courageous act that should not be overlooked and a proper pint in a Greene King pub is the least you deserve.
Another activity that is never shirked that would warrant a proper pint is the manual dog 'poop scoop' with a plastic bag. Not many would be willing to risk life and limb in handling of this hazardous material and what better way to celebrate this then calming the nerves with a proper pint. Here is a list of other deeds that should be celebrated at a Greene King pub:
• Successful construction of flat pack furniture
• Replacing a burst tyre on a car
• Putting a shelf up
• Cutting the grass
• Installation of a device without consulting the instructions
Dom South, marketing director for Greene King Brewing Company, said "The new campaign focuses on modern man and the high regard in which he views his efforts around the house.
"It's an amusing take on how even the smallest of mundane tasks can take on Olympic proportions.
"The eye-catching imagery is intended to provoke a self-knowing chuckle among men, but should also cause wry amusement among women, who will no doubt recognise the tendency among men to 'big up' the contribution to household chores.
"The Man Deserves a Proper Pint campaign will act as a rallying call for drinkers to head to the pub to enjoy the ultimate proper pint - Greene King IPA of course."

text: During the last few years an EU-project is in progress in the former sawmill community of Marieberg; near the outflow of the à ngerman River. The purpose of the project is to preserve and protect the physical traces of industrial activities at the place; and bring them to life. The project was created and is carried on by inhabitants of the place; in other words; the preserving activities occurred; and still do; in the life-world of people living at the place. My focus is on the consequences of this preserving work. I use a phenomenological approach to elucidate how people from within their lifeworld; not only struggle to preserve the cultural heritage per se; but struggle to preserve the sense of the place as their own.
