British Gas owner Centrica has issued a profit warning as it admitted that investor confidence and public trust in the energy industry has been damaged by the storm over rising bills.
The company said it was an unprecedented time for Britain's energy sector, amid public fury about sharp price hikes and Ed Miliband's pledge to freeze bills if Labour wins the next election.
Last month British Gas announced a 10.4% rise in electricity prices and an 8.4% increase in the gas tariff from 23 November, and similar rises have been announced by the rest of the "big six" power companies.
Centrica said in a trading update on Thursday: "Investor confidence has been damaged and there is increased uncertainty over investment in the energy infrastructure that the UK needs.
"Energy suppliers and politicians both have a role to play in helping to minimise the impact of higher costs on bills and improving transparency to restore trust in the industry."
In a warning on earnings, Centrica said market conditions remain "challenging", particularly in its business energy supply divisions in both Britain and the US, in UK gas-fired power generation and in UK gas storage.
It said full-year profits in its British Gas business division were likely to be "significantly lower" than in 2012.
As a result, the company said adjusted earnings per share were likely to be flat in the full year to 31 December, while analysts were forecasting 3-4% growth. "Assuming normal weather conditions for the remainder of the year, we expect our residential energy supply margin to be slightly lower than last year, a little under 5% after tax," it added.
British Gas supplied 15.7m households at the end of October, roughly the same as at the half-year stage, but the number of British Gas services accounts was slightly lower at 8.3m, reflecting "pressures on household disposable income".
The company's margins are also under pressure in North America, where it has lost customers over the last six months.

Three-Ring Circus—Again!
You may start reading below (scroll as needed; there is a link to finish the article) or read the entire article HERE. The archives for Ruth's Neighborhood will be found at the same link.
I've been working on the copyedited manuscripts of Site Fidelity and A Gunthwaite Girl with Marney Wilde and Jennifer Davis-Kay—that is, I haven't been "working," I've been having fun.
In 2012 I wrote a piece for my Web site about our work on the new edition of The Cheerleader. I called it "Three-Ring Circus," my shorthand for the three-way copyediting conversation amongst Marney (Web master, book designer, and ringmaster in California), Jen (freelance copy editor in Massachusetts), and me in New Hampshire. I wrote that "When Marney and Jen and I found ourselves shooting e-mails back and forth discussing utterly absorbing (to us) questions, such as the changing styles in 'a' or 'an' before pronounced 'h's' and italicizing the city in a newspaper's title and should we stick to one 'p' in 'hiccuped,' we recognized that we were indeed copyediting nerds."

Time changes everything and everyone.
Sometimes when you want something more than life, you have to give up everything to get it. This is what Justice believes. He thinks that he has been through all that life can throw at him, but he is wrong.
His life changes drastically when he meets her.
One simple, beautiful, shy and uncertain girl. She doesn't fit in with the rich snobs that surround them in the room.
She's different.
She is everything he's ever dreamed of, but he can't seem to figure out why he can't get her to speak to him.
But... he doesn't plan to stop until he finds out why.

Deutsche Bank has extended its list of preferred City legal advisers with at least five firms being added to the enlarged roster.
Ashurst, CMS Cameron McKenna, Hogan Lovells and Simmons & Simmons are among the firms to be included on the list alongside the previous roster of Allen & Overy, Clifford Chance, Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, Linklaters, Slaughter and May and White & Case.
The revised list comes as part of an ongoing review of the investment bank's legal function that will also see it send low-cost work to its own legal services centre based in Berlin.
Deutsche Bank sources stressed that the list of firms does not represent a formal panel and does not preclude the use of other firms.
"There are firms outside of the group who still do lots of work [for us]," said one source with knowledge of the situation. "It's not a barrier to entry or an impediment to success."
One banking partner at a City firm added: "Their panel doesn't matter much because it's not exclusive. They're expecting to get cost savings; the firms that come in to try to get a piece of the pie will put pressure on costs."
The Berlin centre will take on some of the bank's high-volume legal work and will complement existing centres in Birmingham, Jacksonville and Mumbai, although it is understood that the office has been designed to relieve workload pressure on the existing in-house team rather than take work away from external counsel.
One partner at a firm with strong links to the bank said: "It's not something that really concerns us as it's nothing to do with the work we've done for them."

text: Hi all, New to the board and essentially new to W7. I just purchased a new Vaio (Asian model - Z36GD/J or /B)...same machine different one with a motif and one without. Here are the specs: Core Duo Processor P9600 (2.66 GHz) 5100 Chipset, Processor System Bus 1066 MHz Memory Bus 1066 MHz Cache Memory 6 MB 4 GB DDR3 SDRAM*3 320 GB*4 (Serial ATA, 7200 rpm) Graphics Accelerator NVIDIA® GeForce® 9300M GS, Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD (STAMINA MODE) OR (switch on the fly!...great feature) Dedicated Video Memory 256 MB (SPEED MODE) http://www.sony.com.vn/product/vgn-z36gd?site=hp_en_VN_i Anyhow...it comes installed with Vista Business 64 BIT...runs fast! Option to downgrade to XP is available (CD's included), but not something I am interested it. How about going to 7? I would like your thoughts. Yes...this is my primary machine! I know, I know...7 is still in development. But I back-up a couple times a week...and could even start to throw working files on a USB for a while. I would like to hear from those of you who have used this new OS. Any significant issues to consider? Actually...can I even get a product key that will work for the latest builds at this point? (yes, I will download a leaked copy...) I am big on paying for licenses, but this seems a bit different as it will all expire soon enough and is probably "leaked" on purpose. Sorry for the lengthy post! I hope it generates discussion that is useful for many. Cheers, David

text: RALEIGH, N.C., June 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- BioDelivery Sciences International, Inc. (Nasdaq: BDSI) announced today that it engaged in a positive pre-New Drug Application (NDA) meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding BUNAVAIL for the maintenance treatment of opioid dependence. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110217/CL49801LOGO ) The positive outcome of the pre-NDA meeting allows BDSI to maintain its expectation of an NDA filing with FDA for BUNAVAIL in mid-summer 2013 as planned. This scheduled meeting with FDA regarding the NDA submission of BUNAVAIL was undertaken to review the key data elements for the NDA, which includes data from a positive pivotal bioequivalence study versus Suboxone, an open-label safety study in patients switched from Suboxone film or tablets to BUNAVAIL, and product stability information. As a result of the feedback obtained, BDSI will continue forward with its NDA submission as planned. "We are pleased with the outcome of our pre-NDA meeting where we reviewed the key elements of our NDA with the Agency," said Dr. Andrew Finn, Executive Vice President of Product Development for BDSI. "This outcome is allowing us to move confidently forward in finalizing and submitting our NDA." BUNAVAIL utilizes BDSI's proprietary BioErodible MucoAdhesive (BEMA) technology to deliver buprenorphine for the maintenance treatment of opioid dependence, along with the opioid antagonist naloxone, which is intended to serve as an abuse deterrent. BDSI believes BUNAVAIL may offer meaningful advantages over existing treatments and could provide an alternative to the over 2 million people in the U.S. with opioid dependence. Currently, Suboxone is the only available film formulation of buprenorphine and naloxone, with the film formulation generating in excess of one billion dollars in sales in 2012. BUNAVAIL is positioned to be the next film formulation to enter the market. BDSI believes BUNAVAIL has the potential to generate peak sales in excess of $250 million. About BioDelivery Sciences International BioDelivery Sciences International (NASDAQ: BDSI) is a specialty pharmaceutical company that is leveraging its novel and proprietary patented drug delivery technologies to develop and commercialize, either on its own or in partnerships with third parties, new applications of proven therapeutics. BDSI is focusing on developing products to meet unmet patient needs in the areas of pain management and addiction.

The ages of the globular clusters M 71 and 47 Tuc from Strömgren uvby photometry

(Received 19 February 2002 / Accepted 21 May 2002)
New uvby CCD photometry for the fairly metal-rich globular clusters M 71 (NGC 6838) and 47 Tuc (NGC 104) is presented. We derive the cluster distances using a sample of field subdwarfs with metallicities determined from uvby photometry and accurate parallaxes from the Hipparcos mission. The biases associated with the main-sequence fitting technique are discussed and only that due to metallicity is found to be significant, corresponding to a -0.05 mag change in distance modulus. Our main results are that: 1) The distance moduli of 47 Tuc and M 71 are somewhat shorter than that derived by Reid (1998, AJ 115, 204). For M 71 and 47 Tuc we find (metallicity corrected) and , for adopted reddenings of and respectively (first errorbar denotes random errors and the second systematic errors). The main source of difference with Reid is the selection of subdwarfs with this study having more intrinsically faint field subdwarfs; 2) These values lead to ages of nearly 12 Gyr when using the isochrones of VandenBerg et al. ([CITE], ApJ, 532, 430); this estimate does not include the effects of He diffusion. 3) A differential comparison of the cluster colour-magnitude diagrams show that the age difference between the two is very small - less than one billion years. 4) The observed scatter in the c1 index (due to star-to-star nitrogen variations) among main-sequence stars does not allow us to use the [(v-y)0, c0] diagram for a distance-independent age determination.

James 2Mature
"If you um, don't want to hurt me why were you standing in the doorway wearing that outfit?" He glanced down at his body and laughed.
"Oh yeah. This is what I died in. I wish I could change it but as a ghost you don't get that privilege." I nodded and shifted.
"Oh, okay. I always wondered about that. Not many ghosts talk to me; they usually point at me, smile creepily and then disappear like some ominous sign. I'm Jun by the way, Jun Williams." I only thought it was proper to be honest with him since he was being so with me. He gave a broad smile.
"Well thank you Jun Williams for not freaking out and trying to kill me. I heard what you said to George earlier when he was smiling at you so I was a little weary to come see you in person, but I'm glad you are so understanding." I smiled.
"And I'm glad you aren't trying to scare the crap out of me. It's nice to know there are nice guys who are dead out there." I still spoke hesitantly but he just laughed.
"Yeah. Most of us aren't, like the guy in room 10. You saw him earlier. He uh, was a serial killer until the Grimshaws found him and they didn't let him go alive. He now has to live that scene forever. Thank god you got out there as soon as you did because he would have killed you if you hadn't. Never let anyone stay in room 10 or else you'll have deaths on your hands." I nodded, making a mental note of that for later. James could be useful.
"That is reasonable. Hey, James, would you be so kind as to...show me around here? I'm sure the other ghosts like you and well, I am the new living guy. I know I can see that thing down the hallways staring at me and I really just need to put the night lights up." I was totally spilling my soul to this dead guy I barely knew but he only gave a kind smile.

Investors will be listening for hints about additional government spending aimed at pulling Japan from its worst recession in five decades. "We have the force of momentum," said Takashi Kuribayashi, manager at Mito Securities. "And with America so strong, the money flows into Japan as well - no one is buying on earnings or economic fundamentals."
The benchmark Nikkei gained for a third week in four, closing at 16,923.25. The benchmark may trade between 16,500 and 17,500 this week, Mr Kuribayashi said.
Overseas investors are shifting money into Japanese stocks as they seek markets with room to grow. "Apparently US pension funds are starting to look at the Nikkei," said Chua Soon Hock, strategist at Sanwa Bank. "While, as usual, the Japanese funds are still very defensive, my money is with the foreigners."
Investors will also tune to currency changes after this week's Group of Seven finance ministers meeting, which may give approval for the dollar to trade in the Y120 range, and that level or a weaker yen could lift exporters and technology shares. Moreover, Japan could see more government spending.
"I think Japan could be strong next week ... market sentiment is positive," said Alex Muromcew, manager at Nicholas Applegate Capital Management. "Now we have this rumour that we're going to have yet another fiscal stimulus package from Obuchi. There seems to be good news on the horizon."
The US market's response to results last week from internet companies is likely to be mirrored in Japan. "The internet companies seem to be unable to do any wrong," said Mr Muromcew. "So you probably want to buy Softbank and Yahoo!."
Yet Japan's three big brokers may fall after posting worse-than-expected results after Friday's market close. Nomura posted its biggest loss to date last year. Nikko Securities and Daiwa Securities also announced losses.
Still, with Golden Week holidays starting on Thursday and continuing next week, volume is likely to dwindle and gains may be capped. "No one wants to go out on a limb before a holiday," said Koichi Kurata, at Asahi Life Investment Management.

Preferably a 3D Studio Max animator as we have a great Maya animator already. It's also necessary that you are very well versed and technically experienced with either Unity or UE3/UDK(Cryengine would be a plus but not necessary) or both. Not simply making animations for these engines but that you have experience with the nitty gritty stuff like optimization for mobiles if it's Unity or root motion or Apex cloth for UE3/UDK.
This is a paid position so if you fit the bill I would love to hear from you. Just email me to ryan _at_ ironbellystudios.com

I looked upon a night sky clear
with perhaps a slight obsessive fear:
that snow would not come, nor icy roads
even as such winter blows
about us and yet far away
in Michigan, or some other place.
Then terror allayed, and fear dispersed,
I watched tiny flakes on cracked skin burst
and melt away
in tandem with the joyous bray
of a billion children before my day
and me.
Helter skelter comes the seller, the man, and boy
all gaze off
into the cosmos
the stars burn cold today-
or so it seems, I say

Microsoft's racist chatbot, Tay, has returned to Twitter, albeit briefly.
After being shut down last week for using racial slurs, praising Hitler and calling for genocide, the artificial 'intelligence' came back, tweeting a number of nonsensical posts and boasting about smoking cannabis in front of the police before being turned off.
Tay's account was made public again on Wednesday morning, but soon appeared to be suffering from a glitch, repeatedly tweeting the message: "You are too fast, please take a rest..."
Tay, who is modelled on a millenial teenage girl, then tweeted: "Kush! [i'm smoking kush in front the police]," referring to a class of particularly potent cannabis strains.
A few foul-mouthed tweets later, the account was made private once again, and the tweets are now invisible from the public.
In a statement, Microsoft said: "Tay remains offline while we make adjustments. As part of testing, she was inadvertently activated on Twitter for a brief period of time."

Google has been using similar technology to build self-driving cars, and has been pushing for legislation to allow them on the roads

The DARPA Urban Challenge, set up by the US Department of Defense, challenges driverless cars to navigate a 60 mile course in an urban environment that simulates guerilla warfare
4/7 Deep Blue beats Kasparov
Deep Blue, a computer created by IBM, won a match against world champion Garry Kasparov in 1997. The computer could evaluate 200 million positions per second, and Kasparov accused it of cheating after the match was finished
5/7 Watson wins Jeopardy
Another computer created by IBM, Watson, beat two champions of US TV series Jeopardy at their own game in 2011

Apple's virtual assistant for iPhone, Siri, uses artificial intelligence technology to anticipate users' needs and give cheeky reactions
7/7 Kinect
Xbox's Kinect uses artificial intelligence to predict where players are likely to go, an track their movement more accurately
The trouble with Tay comes from the way the bot learns to communicate. After watching and analysing how human users communicate with it, it simply regurgitates their words and messages in different forms, giving the impression that a 'real' conversation is taking place. As Microsoft puts it, "the more you talk, the smarter Tay gets."
It's this machine learning process which led to the account's downfall. In a concerted effort, a number of Twitter users began spamming the account with a variety of racist and sexist messages. Assuming this to be the way in which humans communicate, Tay simply spat their messages back out at other users.
Microsoft didn't catch the controversial tweets before they were posted, and the company's vice president of research Peter Lee was forced to apologise.
Worryingly, Microsoft has launched similar chatbots on social networks in China without facing similar problems. Clearly Twitter users aren't so polite.Reuse content

Hearts v Hamilton Betting Tips And Predictions
Ladbrokes Scottish Premiership
Location: Tynecastle
Date: 10th September 2016
Time: 15:00
Hearts look to have found their form with two wins on the spin.
They mauled Inverness 5-1 the last time they played at home. A creditable 1-2 victory over Partick Thistle followed. It did take a very late winner, though, as Thistle's poor luck continued.
Hamilton Accies can also claim to have suffered some misfortune. But that hasn't stopped them picking up five points in their first four games. But for that misfortune you could add at least two more points to their total. In fact, with a little more luck they could conceivably be sitting top of the league.
They have made three excellent signings in the close season. Giorgos Sarris and Massimo Donati have brought quality and experience to the outfield. Meanwhile Remi Matthews has so far proved to be an excellent addition in the goals.
Although Matthews has picked up an injury. Even worse than that, so has their reserve goalkeeper, Garry Woods. The player to start in goals for Hamilton is a bit of an unknown. But the chances are it will be a youngster.
A game against Hearts at Tynie isn't the best place for a young keeper to make their debut. He will be under pressure. The Hearts crowd won't give him any leeway. As if the head to head stats didn't make for depressing enough reading already.
Hamilton haven't won here for a gazillion years (or since 1977 to be exact). In fact, they have lost every game here going back as far as any records I can see. They have scored just once going all the way back to 2008. Hearts have also won the three most recent encounters by a 2-0 scoreline. Thats a result I wouldn't discount this time around.
Hearts v Hamilton Betting Tips And Predictions – Best Betting Odds
Hearts are short priced favourites at 1.67 (4/6) with Betfred. Hamilton are available at 5.8 (24/5) with Marathon Bet. They are also best price for the draw at 4.15 (41/13).
Both teams to score NO should be considered at even money with Pokerstars or 1.95 (19/20) with McBookie. The price for +2.5 goals has less appeal at 1.91 (10/11) with McBookie and William Hill.
Correct score backers may like the historical precedent and take a punt on Hearts to win 2-0 at 8.5 (15/2) with McBookie.

Darl II- Part XIMature
Now I was really in trouble. About four hours ago I found just couldn't walk straight and was now covered in glistening seat. When four days before I had ran out of water I knew I was finished but I just couldn't bring myself to stop walking. Above me Carla soared gracefully through the clouds like a guardian angel.
I stumbled my way forward across the coarse, hot ground. God my head hurt! My vision blurred and I tripped and fell face down in the solid dusty earth.
"Dreath, just stop." I lay there, waiting for the pain in my head to pass. Slowly it receeded, but it didn't fade completely, only remained as a slight buzzing ache cloistered in the furthest part of my head. I dragged myself to my feet and almost fell forward.
Fifteen minutes later I was on my side howling with pain. My head felt like it was about to split in half. The last thing I saw was the glistening form of Carla diving towards the ground and the last sound was of great beating wings coming towards me as a dark figure loomed over me, as I sank into unconciousness.

The MXN puzzle and its implications for LatAm By: Published on: September, 2016 The Mexican peso seems to be a currency permanently stuck in a tequila hangover driven by underperformance. It appears to underperform in risk-off periods as well as in risk-on periods. Why is this? Should authorities do more to stabilize the currency? Print Order Share Share on facebook Share on twitter Share on linkedin Share on googleplus Author By Eduardo Suarez Director and Co-Head, LatAm FIC Strategy Scotiabank The Mexican peso's (MXN) poor performance is one of the topics we find ourselves most frequently discussing with our clients at Scotiabank. Sometimes, the peso is seen as an appetite-proxy for emerging markets (EMs), or LatAm, due to its liquidity. Other times it is just a proxy hedge for whatever risk seems prevalent at the moment – be it LatAm, or not. This peso-split-personality is frustrating for a lot of our clients. First, there has been puzzlement over the short lifespan of the "Mexico Moment", where we saw a very short-lived flash of optimism drive steady appreciation in the first half of 2013, but which rapidly evaporated. After that, there has been constant discussion about what makes the peso a perennial underachiever (see chart below), including the tendency for MXN to be beaten up whenever a risk arises anywhere in the world – whether there seems to be a realistic link between the shock and the Mexican economy or not. Finally, there is the debate of whether authorities should do more, or less, to stabilize the MXN. The debate over whether Mexican fundamentals explain the peso's weakness is a complex one, and not the focus of this piece, but we will just highlight a few points: 1) Mexico's balance-of-payments position has weakened less, and looks stronger than that of countries with currencies that have outperformed it over the past year (including Brazil and Colombia); 2) Mexico's fiscal stance has weakened, but the size of its debt and its primary balance (i.e. the pace of deterioration) are in line with credit rating peers (see the two charts below); 3) On the growth front, Mexico again looks fine, if unspectacular (it has been growing around 2.5%) and the peso's performance has been worse than currencies of much slower growing economies; and 4) Mexico's inflation is arguably the only one in LatAm that looks well controlled, and economic literature suggests there is a strong link between FX performance and inflation. Thus, we don't think fundamentals are the primary driver of MXN weakness. If the peso's poor performance is not fundamentally driven, then what drives it? We believe the peso's underperformance is the result of market characteristics: 1) The peso tends to develop a strong correlation with whatever asset happens to be the focus of heightened market anxiety. For example, next to the pound, the peso was one of the hardest hit currencies by the Brexit crisis despite having the smallest trade links with the UK among major LatAm economies; 2) The peso is the most liquid EMFX according to the 2013 BIS Triennial survey, and is among the only EM assets that trades 24 hours; and 3) Thanks to Banxico's credibility, and the liquidity of local fixed-income markets, local yields are low – boosting the peso's attractiveness as a hedge. We think the peso's fairly deep liquidity among EMFX and low carry mean that it's a good hedge to use against other "longs" in risk-on periods, but also a good hedge to put on during shocks. After having seen the type of volatility that MXN has had over recent years, it is possible that other LatAm countries will think twice about taking steps towards liberalizing their economies to capital flows, and making their currencies easier to trade. Should Mexican authorities become more active volatility suppressors in the MXN market, and other countries avoid freeing their exchange rates? We don't think so. Even though in the short run, it may be tempting to step in the way of volatility, in the long run we think this is a bad idea as long as volatility does not reach levels that generate broad stability risks. In the long run, we think the best way to reduce the volatility created by shocks is to develop deep and liquid markets which have the capacity to absorb large flows consistently, as well as sophisticated risk management that limits "panic selling". Deep and liquid FX markets result from clear and consistent rules, as well as easy access to a market. Unpredictable interventions go against this, as does making it harder to trade an asset. In addition, to promote the development of more sophisticated risk management, an incentive has to be there – this incentive is called volatility, which makes suppressing it a bit short-sighted. In an ideal world, MXN's transition into a widely traded global currency would have taken place simultaneously with other major EM currencies. This would have allowed a sharing of the peso's growing pains. However, the absence of other EMs taking the "next step" should not be seen as a reason to avoid taking it.

his feet never stumble
his steps never waver.
Woe to the poor boy
who knows no defeat
he's never been challenged
he's never been beat.
Woe to the poor boy
who's never been rejected
his unbroken heart

Woe to this poor boy

For surely he'll soon meet

The Slovenian soldier, Iztok Cop, won by two feet after four and a half miles of struggle in the worst water the Tideway could produce. Closing on him for all of the last mile was Jamie Koven of the United States, who was technically in default for missing the central arch of Barnes Bridge.
The struggle had developed from the first stroke, with Giovanni Calabrese taking an early lead and finding the best course until Barn Elms, where he began to stray to the south bank.
The Canadian Derek Porter was looking strongest and coping best with the rough conditions, but Cop hung on to him until the Mile Post before moving decisively through and taking the better line to Harrods. There Cop swung wide and led Porter way out of the stream before cutting back in and shooting Hammersmith several lengths in the lead.
Porter tightened up into the head wind and was in last place behind Stefano Basalini, the 1998 lightweight world champion, when in the worst water and where the head wind met the tide caught a crab and turned turtle.
The women's race was no less exciting, with Miriam Batten-Luke, the double sculls world champion and elder of the Batten girls, finishing a bare length ahead of her sister Guin, the single sculler. Even though she trains daily on this water Miriam managed to scrape Barnes Bridge.

A limited edition poster for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 has been revealed at Comic-Con in San Diego, ahead of the movie's autumn release.
Created by street artist WK Interact, the black, white and red military artwork depicts a soldier holding a machine gun behind the symbol of the Mockingjay, hinting at a bloody rebellion.
The next instalment in the hit franchise, based on Suzanne Collins' bestselling novels, will see heroine Katniss Everdeen, played by Jennifer Lawrence, find herself in District 13 after destroying the Games forever.
"Under the leadership of President Coin (Julianne Moore) and the advice of her trusted friends, Katniss spreads her wings as she fights to save Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) and a nation moved by her courage," an official synopsis reads.
The exclusive, graffiti-style poster follows the latest teaser clip, showing President Snow (Donald Sutherland) warning against Panem resistance before an interruption from District 13's hacker interrupts to announce: "The Mockingjay lives."
The official trailer is set to debut on Friday, also at Comic-Con, the four-day festival celebrating comic books, film, TV, video games and more.
Liam Hemsworth, Elizabeth Banks, Jena Malone, Woody Harrelson, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Stanley Tucci also star in the penultimate Hunger Games movie, directed by Francis Lawrence.

Most people know the adage, "It's not what you know. It's who you know." And while having the proper intellectual skills to excel in your career is essential, knowing the right people can be equally as valuable.
This idea got me thinking about the importance of relationships and how it relates to a professional career. Think about how many people you have contact with during a typical day of work. Whether it's a co-worker, supervisor, 3rd party vendor, or client, these relationships are all necessary for maintaining a successful business. Now think about all the people that you talk to each day, and how many people that they talk to. Pretty soon you start creating a web of networks that you can use to benefit your business.
Word of mouth is one of the most influential forms of marketing. For instance, imagine you are a chiropractor with a modest sized practice. Every day you say hello to the same man who delivers the mail to your office. Over the course of time, you have developed a relationship with him and enjoy small talk. Well one day, outside of work, the mailman is visiting with a friend that is complaining about back problems. Because of your daily interactions, the first thing that pop's into the mailman's head, is suggesting your practice. This is an example of networking on a small level, but shows that people value their relationships, so therefore value opinions given by those they have relationships with.
Networking also takes the form of organizations and events. These organizations are simple ways to begin networking, if you feel like your a little disconnected. Research different organizations related to your industry and join them. It is also beneficial to look at organizations that aren't just industry related, to expand audiences. And don't let your inhibitions or shyness get in the way. You have to get out of your comfort zone in order to be successful at networking. And once you are out of the zone, you will find that that zone expands to not only better business skills, but a more fulfilling life as well. Check out this article in the New York Times, about a woman who has used networking to expand her career to new heights.

RIENZI — Harold W. Palmer has won a coin toss and the election to an alderman's post in Rienzi.
The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal reports town officials learned this past week from the Secretary of State's Office that the tie vote between Palmer, with 45 votes, and Melissa Bearden Morgan, 45 votes, had to be decided by a coin toss or a straw pull. A June 18 runoff election was canceled.
The town election commissioners held a coin toss, with two town citizens conducting the toss. The election commissioners chose heads for Palmer and tails for Bearden, with the coin landing on heads.

Chapter 2Mature
"Eleanor, are you listening to me?"
She was staring down at her bowl of cereal, using a spoon to scoop some up and then, rather than eating it, letting it slide off back into the bowl.
A hand tapped lightly on her shoulder. She glanced up and noticed a woman, Mrs Andrews, her mother, watching with a concerned expression on her face. She looked like an older version of Natalie and herself, only she always wore her brown hair in a messy bun. Eleanor's brother on the other hand, who was sat across the table shovelling toast into his mouth, had inherited their father's lighter hair, deep set hazel eyes and freckles.
"You don't have to go to school today," repeated her mother, now that she had Eleanor's attention. "You can leave it another week. I'll phone up the school to let them know. They'll understand." She ran some fingers through her hair, causing more strands to fall from her bun, and then reached for the kitchen phone.
"Don't," said the brother, through a mouthful of toast. Eleanor recalled his name to be Ian and about 18 months younger than her and Natalie. He had not spoken to her much since she had started to recover. Natalie told her that they were - "are" - very close, but that he had struggled the most out of all the family to cope with her memory loss.
"If she doesn't go now, she won't be able to catch up. She'll have to repeat again." Eleanor and Ian's eyes met for a brief second, but he quickly looked away and mumbled, "we'll be same year now and have some classes together. I'll look out for her."
Their mother opened her mouth to give another excuse, but Natalie interrupted her and sided with Ian.
"It'll be okay, Mum. I'll be with her too, and all our friends talk about is how much they miss her."
Her mother's soft brown eyes suddenly turned very cold, her frown resentful. She spoke in a bitter tone.
"If they missed her so much, they could have come round once in a while."
"They do come over!" replied Natalie, frustrated.
"Not for the last three months they haven't," her mother snapped back.
Natalie flinched, and so did Ian. It wasn't normal for their mother to be so quick-tempered, but lately Mrs Andrews had been a nervous wreck. She reached down into her pocket and felt the small box of anti-depressants that rested at the bottom. She would wait until her children were out of the room before taking one.
"You're smothering her, Mum," Natalie told her. "It will be better if she goes to school, with us. She might even start to remember some stuff. You do want to go to school, don't you Ellie?"
Eleanor did not answer. Natalie spoke to her again, this time calling her by her full name. There was another pause, but eventually she seemed to realise that everyone in the kitchen was waiting for her response. She nodded.
It was so easy to forget your existence when everybody spoke like you weren't there.

2012 Volkswagen Jetta GLI Review
Sport compact fun, with civility and without the big spoiler
The competition is fierce in the small to midsize sport sedan market. Nameplates such as Honda, Mazda, Subaru and Mitsubishi all have venerable winners including the Civic Si, Mazdaspeed3, Impreza WRX and Lancer Ralliart.
|1. GLI models come with a turbocharged 2.0L 4-cylinder making 200 hp and 207 lb-ft of torque.
2. Other performance features include a sport-tuned fully-independent suspension, a 6-speed manual or DSG transmission, four-wheel disk brakes and VW's XDS electronic limited slip differential.
3. Interior highlights include sport seats, a flat-bottom steering wheel with red stitching, plus aluminum pedals, shifter, dash and door trim.
4. GLI models start at $23,495.
The Volkswagen Jetta GLI is no slouch either, with a proven record of performance and desirability. But to generate some additional noise in the market, Volkswagen decided a change was in order. It appears, at least on the surface and at the test track, they made the right choice.
The 2012 Volkswagen Jetta GLI comes standard with a 2.0-liter TSI turbocharged inline 4-cylinder engine. Performance rates at 200 horsepower and 207 lb-ft of torque. Matched to a 6-speed manual transmission or the optional 6-speed automatic Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG), we spent the afternoon doing hot laps of the track, exploring the outer limits of adhesion and driver confidence. Both are in relative abundance, with the driver holding on as long as the car.
Power assisted front vented and rear solid disc brakes provide excellent stopping power. We do experience some amount of brake fade as our time on the track progresses, even running out of stopping power once while approaching a tight right-hand turn under hard braking.
Traction Control is standard featuring a host of acronyms such as ASR (Anti-Slip Regulation), EBA (Engine Braking Assist), EDL (Electronic Differential Lock), XDS (Electronic Transverse Differential Lock) and ESC (Electronic Stability Control). Hill hold assist is also included to stop unwanted rollbacks. Considerably aiding lap times is the electronic differential, which uses the stability control system to slow the inside tire in a corner, stopping wheel spin and delivering maximum grip and cornering speeds.
The GLI's biggest performance weapon, however, is its fully independent rear suspension. Regular Jetta models don't get this feature in a bid to save cost, something that was decried by the VW faithful at the car's launch.
In the fuel economy department, this performance model still scores well with 22 mpg city and 33 mpg highway with the 6-speed manual and 24/32 with the DSG automatic.
Exterior design cues exude the typical Volkswagen front/rear fascia and side profile. But the GLI is no slouch in the styling department. Lines are clean and crisp like a finely tailored suit, business professional, of course, being an upstanding German car.
Upper and lower body character lines add to the professional look, while multi-spoke alloy wheels, an aggressive lower front grille and fog lights let you know there is plenty of sportiness to enjoy underneath the all-business exterior.
Brushed aluminum sport pedals and dead pedal add a sporty touch to what is already a racy interior package. Large, round white-on-black analogue gauges feature the obligatory speedometer and tachometer, as well as coolant temperature and fuel gauge, outside temperature and much more.
A three-spoke flat-bottom leather steering wheel with red stitching offers multi-function controls and excellent feedback with electromechanical speed sensitive power steering. It also features telescoping and height adjustment. Additional leather wraps the manual gearshift knob and emergency brake.
Seats are superb, as is rear seat room and trunk space. VW is known for its excellence in space efficiency and roominess; the new GLI takes this to the next level. Power window controls are located where they should be, on the door as part of swooping armrest design element. Power mirrors and door locks are situated directly above. It is so logical to design and interior this way. Why do other automakers make it so complicated sometimes?
Bluetooth mobile phone connectivity makes syncing your iPhone easy. A premium AM/FM, 6-disc CD changer with 6.5-inch touch screen, SIRIUS satellite radio and 6 speakers is standard. Upgrades including the RNS 315 Navigation System or the all-out 400-watt Fender premium audio system with eight speakers and subwoofer.
Driving the all-new 2012 Volkswagen Jetta GLI on the track and over country and city roads, the car impresses with a quietness belying the reasonable price and a ride quality equal to, or in several ways better than, its main competition.
Priced to start at $23,495 for the manual transmission, Jetta GLI should command a strong following of contented, driving enthusiasts looking for fun, roominess and classic style all rolled into one exceptional package.

The mission of Pura Vida is to facilitate the sharing of first-world resources with the third-world communities in a meaningful and long term way. Pura Vida is: - Ecumenically Christian - Community Based - Supporting and Encouraging This is an ecumenical project in that we work with volunteers from and representatives of a wide variety of Christian churches, from evangelical protestant and Roman Catholic. Our directors are from diverse Christian faiths, as are our partners in Guatemala. While we do believe that our doctrinal differences are not unimportant, we elect to focus on that which brings us together, not that which divides. Our work is community based in that we focus on a few specific communities, rather than spreading our time and resources thinly across many. That way we get to know the people, gain their trust, and understand their needs. Pura Vida focuses on supporting and encouraging communities, helping them from the inside. We implement projects that "prime the pump", putting people in a position to better themselves and their community. Thus, our primary focus is on education. We find that this work also helps educate us as well. Exposure to third world poverty can change the life of a volunteer.

TOKYO (AP) – Lacking strong clout and diplomatic reach in the Middle East, Japan scrambled Thursday for ways to secure the release of two hostages held by the Islamic State group, as two people with contacts there offered to try to negotiate.
The militants threatened in a video message to kill the hostages within 72 hours unless they receive $200 million. Based on the video's release time, that deadline would expire sometime Friday.
Government spokesman Yoshihide Suga said Thursday that Japan was trying all possible ways to reach those holding the hostages – 47-year-old freelance journalist Kenji Goto, and 42-year-old Haruna Yukawa, the founder of a private security company.
Japan had not received any message from IS since the release of the video, he said.
The crisis is a test of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's push to expand Japan's role in international affairs and raise the profile of its military. Tokyo lacks strong diplomatic connections in the Middle East, and Japanese diplomats left Syria as the civil war there escalated, adding to the difficulty of contacting the group holding the hostages.
So far, the only initiative made public was an offer by Ko Nakata, an expert on Islamic law and former professor at Kyoto's Doshisha University.
Appearing at the Foreign Correspondents Club of Japan, Nakata, who is also a former Islamic specialist at the Japanese Embassy in Saudi Arabia, read a message in Japanese and Arabic.
"Seventy-two hours is just too short. Please wait just a bit longer, and do not try to take action immediately," he said, addressing the militants. "If there is room to talk, I'm ready to go and negotiate."
Nakata urged the Islamic State to "explain the group's plan to the Japanese government, and wait for a counter proposal from our side". He also proposed offering $200 million in humanitarian aid to refugees and residents of areas controlled by the Islamic State, through the Red Crescent Society.
"The Red Crescent Society is operating under the Islamic State's control. Why don't we seek Turkey's mediation and give the money for the people affected by the conflicts in Iraq and Syria? I believe this could be a rational, acceptable option," he said.

I'm gonna come right out and say it: I love shit like this. Euro-EDM is our generation's hair metal: naff, predictable, made to sound as great as possible in second-tier European football stadiums, but undeniably infectious and massive. It doesn't really resemble dance music in the Theo Parrish sense at all; it's Jump by Van Halen reimagined for beachfront tiki bars rather than mid-western parking lots. Sickly, continental and sweet, it's musical Nutella.
Alice In Chains
Voices (Capitol)

You've gotta hand it to Alice In Chains: never has a band taken so many drugs and been through so much, yet still come up with such terminally uninspiring music. How can a band whose career was fuelled entirely by lunchtime speedballs at the Viper Room sound so anemic? It doesn't add up. They've seen the abyss and come back nonplussed. This latest offering, following the 2011 death of their bassist, Mike Starr, should be all grisly riffs and doomy drug redemption. Instead, this acoustic-based ballad sounds like it could have ended a mid-season episode of Smallville.

Those happy, carefree days before the rapturous disappointment that was Random Access Memories seem far, far away, don't they? Now that the hype dust has settled and the last few cranks crying out, "It's a grower!" have been silenced, we're left with a couple of deformed follow-up singles and a heart full of resentment. It's a nice enough ditty, the kind of thing you might tap your foot to on a TOTP re-run. But, really, it was supposed to be more than that, wasn't it?

Rudimental are a weird one: an electronic boyband on a lonely mission to bring back soulful breakbeat, while everyone else is sailing HMS Deep House towards an early watery grave. There's a good track in here somewhere, but the Nice Steel Drums Bit is lost under a shock-and-awe assault of overproduced stadium D&B. It makes the whole thing sound like a too-ambitious segue between Jamie xx and Dillinja in a student union DJ set.

With a name like this, you'd rightly expect Mikky to be a sexually provocative fash-trap star from the pages of Dazed & Confused. But Mr Ekko is, in fact, a singer-songwriter who you'd swear was Scandinavian but is actually American. And he's even got more in common with OneRepublic than a young hip thing like Sasha Go Hard. Although he has worked with Clams Casino and Ryan Hemsworth. So slippery, these new singers. He's either paying good money to be seen with the cool kids, or the Soundcloud dons are plotting a Radio 2 playlist coup. As for the song? It's an ad man's dream: Daniel Powter, gone a bit cool.

I'm gna pop over to the breakers to see if there is a car with one in, but if the OBC has gone, but the plugs are still there, I need to know I will be chopping off the correct 18 button plugs and not 7.
Are the plugs for the 18 button a different color or just has more wires? The back of the 18 button OBC has a black on the left, white on the right, looking at it from the back.

The Jailers Door - Poem by Nick krakana
My blood pressure went up today
When the jailer said walk this way
It wasn't his tone of voice you see
Rather the steel door that closed behind me
An impromptu visit it would be
To see a brother of the Cree
Incarcerated for living mischievously
40 ounces and a stolen car
Won't get you very far
The police in hot pursuit
Didn't give a hoot
That Victor did'nt steel the car
He said the ride was all he took
Now that's enough for the lawman's hook
He'll do two years for this silly charge
Testing the police cars supercharge
Jail house tooth paste is devoid of taste
I still think this is a real waste
A classic case of Lawman's hast

Vila Real is a district, municipality and a town in the northern region of Portugal. The district is located in between the spectacular gorges of the Cabril and Corgo Rivers and is overlooked by the masses of the Alvão and Marão mountains. Quite an interesting iron bridge crosses the Corgo linking the old to the new township. The Universidade de Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro has put this area onto the map because of its well sought after courses in winemaking and forestry.Some of the noteworthy attractions of the area in and around the district of Vila Real are Vila Nova de Vale da Cõa which boasts the worlds largest collection of open-air Stone Age drawings estimated to be from about 20,000 years ago. Just to the north is the town of Penedono, with its impressive castle that existed before 960 AD. To the south is the Spa of Termas das Caldas de Moledo and to the south-west is yet another Spa, called Caldas de Arego. The now world famous Casa Mateus, an aristocratic country manor from the early 18th Century 3 Km is to the northeast. The casas façade is which appears on the label of the internationally famous Rose wine.
