- #185598Hello Rupesh,
We cannever blame the movie for children imitating the stunts and scenes. It is the parents whoshould decide which film their children should see. Parents should have all the control over the Child. They have to be with their child and tell him what is good and what is bad for them. If any parents know that their child is stubborn and do not listen to them, then avoid watching such movies at home in front of the children.
It is of course sorry for the wrong messages passed from films. Parents do need to think of the future of their children and decide whats good for them and what not.
- #185654Hello Rupesh,
Thanks for pointing a good article for childs attitude regarding movies.
I guess childrens are need to away from the movies,this is entirely depends upon there parents. They have to allow there childrens to watch only for animated movies, disneys and panchatatra based on the good messaged stories. Despite the movies like fights, stunts and weird scenes they may sit on that view.
Parents are the footstep for there children's activities in next stage.
Thank you,
- #185716Thanks sir for your response on my article. i will take care about what you said on my article.And i will try my best to write a nice article
thank you
- #186075Yes, i agree with Mr. Rupesh.
- #200088Hello Friend!
It is very important fact, that the how many effects of movie mostly for child.
It is not true for all the movie that movie is bad effects of child, If movie has been related to the education life than that movie is very good for child.
If movie is related to the western culture than that movie is bad effects for child.
In this present age the movie world has been changed whatever that is Bollywood or Hollywood.
In this present age the mostly movie is not related to the education field.
In Indian cinema the 3IDIOTS movie is the best movie for all the children and their parents.In this movie totally indicated to the student life and what should be aim of student.
I think all the student should have watch the 3IDIOTS movie.
- #200098Indian movies are having great audiences acceptance and in the garb of it producers try to churn out some masala movies with all mixture of violence, sex and above all double meaning dialogues to cater to the front benchers but in the process they are spoiling the most vulnerable section of the society ie the children.
Children get easily identified with the characters the actors play and they have too much attachment to the actors and try to imitate what he does on the screen.
There are many incidents that children take to revenge on their enemy friends same in the style of pictures they watched. Our children get addicted to the character and try to imitate them fully.

Even this challenging situation would ease
- #201680True. Some movies can have an adverse effect to the developing young minds. It imprints an illusionary viewpoint of the world. Children should be made to digest the fact that there is more to life than fights, revenge and romance related skirmishes. What we intended to serve as entertainment can be wrongly taken in.
The impression violent movies leaves on the developing temperament of children can have detrimental effects in the long run. Secondly, movies with explicit contents are accessible which alters children perception of sex. No doubt, sex sells. So does our young 'uns buys them into their mind. Some movies requires adult supervision.
"Give the world the best you have, and the best will come back to you"
- #202075it is universal truth. that some movies create good effect and some bad on children.but it depend on director or writer who decide about movies.so some movies create good impact.

- #202410hello,
Rupesh Agarwal,see let me tell u one ting,movie has diff varietes why your people takin child to the theatre..there are many animation films...in hollywood movies u can better chose them...rite..!!!...u may take ur child to this sort of movies..!!
Bcoz of movie a child get spoiled means its not sensible dude..sorry to say dis..for our people movie is the only entertainer..to my point of view,shouldnt het addict of it thats not good practice..!!!
- #202484It is an entertainment world and movies are the prime source of entertainment these days. If a family thinks of an outing on a weekend then a movie is a major way of spending gala time. So, we cannot stop our children from watching movies but we should inculcate such thinking in there minds that they should not get flowed away by the movies but have a smart brain to think and adopt good things and neglect bad things.
Kanishka Jain.
- #202839,t.v rays is also effect on health of children,bad for eye sight,and for brain also,bcoz a child just want to learn whatever he is see in his neighbour,bcoz of stunts ,comedy movies,whatever he saw,he just want to do it,and it make to harmful for childrens ,childerns are so much atteracted by television,and want to see television,children's eyes are affected so much,because t.v light is bad for children's eyes.
tv reflect that type of rays which are are so much harmful for childrens.
cause of t.v childrens do not work properly,like they can't study
,time is precious and so much time is waste if u see tv ,childens are watching t.v in free time,but they have to play the games,for health benefits,
sometime t.v create disturbance in mind.
sometime t.v create a environment of fear,and childerns are starting to weeping,and it make sometime to serious problem for them.e.g -in horror movies,,children are so much emotional,so care of ur child by urself,her emotion is not artificial like in t.v,its related to u.,he is personally attached to u,not by t.v
childrens are not so much experienced,and t.v act like a teacher for them,they learn so much by t.v .but it is also wrong sometime,for bad habbits,like if they see drinking,and smoking,then they want to take it also.
if a t.v teach to make a good person then it also teach to make a bad person also.
- #203763There are both bad and good effects of television on children
Bad Effects :- There many bad effects of T.V. on television as Vandana explained. It is harmful for our eyes and so health. T.V. should also not be watched from an angle. It should only be watched directly in front of you because intensity of lights from the TV is high at angles. Also children sometimes start imitating whatever they watch on TV, and the results of that could be dangerous. Like many children jumped from the terrace in a hope that Shaktiman will come and save their lives.
But they only get death. But it is mainly the mistake of the parebts who didn't told him that he really do not exist. In most of the cases mistakes are of parents.
Good Effects:- No doubt that TV also serve the purpose of good things. Channels like discovery, Nat Geo, Animal Planet,etc. are just made for learning purpose. They are very good channels and good effects put by these channels can not be denied. Also cartoons are must for children. Remember the time when you like watching cartoons and always want to meet your favorite cartoon characters. That's why they are very important
So, children should not at all banned from watching television. Parents should always keep checking the quality and purpose of the show.
- #203769Generally, most of the film producers or directors don't care for the society. Their ultimate goal is to make money and live happily. There are few producers and directors who deeply study and analyze a written story and look at the impact it will have with the society. It is the duty of the parents to discourage their children to view such masala movies. These days TV Mega serials are very good to view by the family including children. Instead of permitting children to view unhealthy films, they can be asked to concentrate good educational TV channels like Discovery, Planet etc; The effective control and management of the children getting into false ideas of idiotic films, lies with the parents.

- #209462Movies are source of entertainment for people but now days its a business too so filmmakers include unrealistic stun scenes with the help of graphics. Krish a hit of Hrithik Roshan is one of the examples the long jumps and swift movements made by him are not possible in real life.
When children tries to act its by themselves accidents are possible.
Few years back i read in a newspaper that child tried to commit suicide imitating a tv serial scene
Movies are affecting the thoughts of children.
- #209479Dear Rupesh Agarwal,
Few years back Aamir Khan said "papa kehte hain, beta bada naam karenga" now teenagers said "Dady mujhko bola tu galati hain meri". See the difference between both scenario previous year we using proper language for our parents in society, movies, songs etc but now we are using such word sentence those are not allowed in our community. This effects due to only recent movies which not have any massage or motto only aim is to earn money on the name of today's demand.
With Best Regards,
- #209502Hello Mr. Rupesh,
First of all let me appreciate you for this sincere work in ISC. we members are looking forward for such good news that new members like you are worth good. You have given a good topic to discuss. Now let me explain my view.
Movies are mainly certified as U/A that means children can watch them in advice of parent. But that films are also having bad effects on Children as they too contain scenes related to Sex, Violence etc. I just hate Hindi films for this case as they are filled with item songs. We can't ban children to watch it. Either give them A certificate but that would be rude. So it is better to avoid such scenes and make good family entertainers.
Today many students are part of crime offences and by looking into their life's deeply we can see the bad effects of films.I never say films are bad. They also provide good to children. Just look st films like Tare Zammeeen Par. Such good films can make good impacts. So let us hope for more good films with less vulgar and violence.
Always remember children are citizens of coming India.They should get good values.
Be good you can do good.
There is not substitute for hard work and no shortcut to success.
- #209800Hello Rupesh,
Now a days Movies are source of entertainment for people but now days its a business too so filmmakers include unrealistic stun scenes with the help of graphics.they does not work them faithfully.......
See the difference between both scenario previous year we using proper language for our parents in society, movies, songs etc but now we are using such word sentence those are not allowed in our community. Few years back Aamir Khan said "papa kehte hain, bada naam karenga,beta hamara aisa kam karega" now teenagers said "Dady mujhko bola tu galati hain meri". naw a days amir khan also give "kissing" seen for film. and akshay kumar ,too.In Indian cinema the 3IDIOTS movie is the best movie for all the children and their parents.In this movie totally indicated to the student life and what should be aim of student.
- TV also serve the purpose of good things. Channels like discovery, Nat Geo, Animal Planet,etc. are just made for learning purpose..............The effective control and management of the children getting into false ideas of idiotic films
-A TV teach to make a good person then it also teach to make a bad person also.
Nothing is Impossible
- #214264It depends on the children as to which movies they watch. Several good movies such as stanley ka dhabba, etc are one of those few movies which capture the minds og children but in a better way.So children should be allowed to watch only good movies , not the adult movies.
- #214278Children are at a learning stage, they are trying to learn new things by copying what they see, hence what they see is really important and can have a lasting impression on the child.
Nowadays television and movies are filled with violence, adult material, provocative and obscene dialogues, slang and many other things that we normally don't want children to see/hear at the tender age.
But if we see, a lioness teaches her cubs to fight at an early stage which is the case with various other animals too, these so called bad things that we want to shield our children from is ultimately what the world is filled of, by just restricting what they see or know we cannot help the child, we need to guide the children so that they may understand what is good for them and what is bad for them, instead of letting movies tell them what is good or bad.

Strath Mor, Skye.
Hillwalking Strath Mor, Skye - Scottish Walks.
Difficulty. Easy. Duration. 2 Hrs. O.S. 32
The start of Strath Mor can be found at the head of Loch Slapin in Skye and its end is at the small village of Luib on Loch Ainort. At its beginning spare some time and take in the wonderful views of Blabheinn 928 and Garbh Bheinn 806 on the loch shore. These mountains are outlying crops of the Black Cuillins in that they are made primarily of gabbro thus giving the "black" appearance as opposed to the "red" mountains on the other side of the loch, nice contrast, though.
The traverse is as easy as it gets, with the path, sometimes narrow but very negotiable and low level, with Garbh Bheinn to the left and Beinn na Callich to the right. Also at the beginning, Loch na Sguabaidh should whet the appetite for the rest of the journey, which will take around two hours. Also, this is a great cycle route but make sure you have a mountain bike between your legs. Leisurely walking is the best way to do the walk to Luib. Strathmor is one to watch.

To Post or Not To Post
April 10, 2012
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
Everyone knows one of those people. They post entirely too much personal information on facebook; they tweet about every minute detail of their lives; they rant extensively on tumblr; they take pictures of themselves half naked to upload to instagram. You never have to wonder what these people are thinking or feeling. Maybe you are one of those people. You like letting the whole world know exactly what is going on in yours. Where do you draw the line, though? When does "good to know" become "too much information?"
The following are examples of posted information that is simply TOO PERSONAL to be displayed publicly on the internet.
Exhibit 1: tumblr
"Tell me mom, how am I supposed to be nice to you when you are not nice to me at all? You treat me like I don't matter as a person, the way you think this is the army or something, the way you act like I bother you all the time. I know I should just ignore this but I CAN'T."
As tragic as this situation seems to be, this kind of emotional release is better saved for discussion with a therapist, close friend, or relative.
Exhibit 2: facebook
"I eat gummy bears by tearing them limb from limb and eating their heads last."
In other words, "Hi, my name is deranged and I'm a future serial killer." On top of that, who really cares how you eat gummy bears?
Exhibit 3: instagram
(Picture deleted for salacious content)
1. Who told you this was appropriate for everyone to see?
2. Why is her hand strategically placed in that area?
3. Those probably aren't even real.
Not only is too much personal information not necessary, it also may be unsafe. Senior Riddhi Patel says, "Personally, I don't like people knowing EVERYTHING about me so I don't post or discuss personal matters… accepting everyone on the network and letting people know everything about you is dangerous, so I try to stay away from all of that, as that becomes kind of creepy."
She brings up a valid point—if everyone you want to see it can see it, then everyone else probably can, too.
Junior Adam Parler agrees. He says, "When people start putting more personal things, like e-mail address, phone number, street address and even their credit card number, that's when it gets to be too much. Basic information you wouldn't mind giving to a total stranger is fine, but beyond that basic information, it isn't a smart move." The voice of reason says it all.
Ultimately, it is up to you to decide how much you want total strangers to know about you. If you want to post everything about yourself online, then that is your decision. Just remember, there are always consequences and you may be hiding behind the crutch of social networking. Senior Clara Formby articulates this idea: "I think it's dumb that people choose to live their lives vicariously through social media rather than fostering good, tangible friendships." If you try talking to someone, instead of just typing or posting about something, you may find the social situation to be far more rewarding than you had ever expected.

Maryland has started 4-0 for the first time since 2001. The Terps are ranked in the Associated Press Top 25 for the first time since 2010. They've outscored their opponents 159-41.
And yet the question remains: Are they for real?
Florida State should help answer that. The Noles are ranked No. 8 in the country and are considered a contender for the national title. They're No. 4 in the country in scoring offense, and they've got one of the most talented young quarterbacks in the county in redshirt freshman Jameis Winston.
And yet the question remains: Are they for real?
Saturday's game in Tallahassee will be proving grounds for both teams, in spite of the fact they're both 4-0. It's the marquee matchup in the conference this week – the lone game between undefeated teams in the Atlantic Division -- and it should show just how far No. 25 Maryland has come in trying to close the gap with one of the ACC's premier programs. It should also reveal if Florida State's sluggish defensive performance at Boston College on Saturday was an anomaly or a deeper-rooted problem that Maryland can continue to expose.
On paper, it looks like the Terps could be exactly the kind of tricky opponent that has tripped up the Noles in the past. Maryland had a bye week to prepare for its first ranked opponent of the season, and Florida State allowed BC 200 rushing yards in a 48-34 victory at Boston College. How much of Maryland's success, though, is simply a product of the poor competition it has played early, and have any of those teams prepared the Terps for what they'll face in Tallahassee?
Maryland's wins have come against Florida International, Old Dominion, Connecticut and West Virginia – teams that are a combined 6-12 this season, including two 0-4 programs in FIU and Connecticut. UConn hit a new low this season with losses to Towson and Buffalo, and on Monday fired coach Paul Pasqualoni. Maryland's best victory was a 37-0 shutout of West Virginia in Baltimore, and it looks even better now that the Mountaineers just knocked off No. 11 Oklahoma State.
That was Baltimore. This is Tally. Maryland hasn't beaten Florida State in Doak Campbell Stadium – well, ever. The Noles have won all 11 games there and seven straight in the series. This is only the second time Maryland has even been ranked when playing Florida State. For the Noles to go down, Maryland needs to be every bit as good as it looks right now on paper.
The Noles should and will be favored, but they fell behind 14-0 at Boston College and looked vulnerable. It was a surprising start for an opponent FSU was expected to handle with ease, and it's only going to get more difficult. The Terps will be Florida State's first ranked opponent as well. FSU padded its stats against Nevada and Bethune-Cookman and looked unprepared on Saturday for what BC had to dish out. The Eagles are a one-dimensional offense that depends heavily on Andre Williams and the running game. Maryland is not. The Terps have more depth and more playmakers and will be an even bigger challenge for the FSU defense.
Maryland's offense, which finished the 2012 season dead last in the ACC in total offense, averaging just 284 yards, now ranks second in the ACC at 498.5 yards per game, an improvement of 213.7 yards per game.
There's no question Maryland is light years better than it was a year ago, when it finished the season with just four wins and a linebacker at quarterback. And there's no question Florida State is still one of the top two teams in the ACC.
Just how good both of them truly are, though, has yet to be determined.

Lynn professor refutes claim of 100,000 missing sex offenders in new study
Published Jul. 26, 2011
Jill Levenson, associate professor of psychology and human services in Lynn University's College of Liberal Education, has co-authored a new study which refutes the common claim that 100,000 sex offenders are missing. The authors call for a more data-driven national sex offender policy.
The study, "100,000 Sex Offenders Missing... or Are They? Deconstruction of an Urban Legend" was published this month in the Criminal Justice Policy Review.
Tomorrow, July 27, marks the deadline for states to comply with federal sex offender registration requirements set forth in the 2006 Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act. As of July 18, only eight states had been deemed to have substantially implemented these requirements, and many have called for Congress to revisit key provisions in the law. The "100,000 missing" figure was repeatedly cited in the debates leading to the law's passage and in its subsequent re-authorization hearings earlier this year.
The study, co-authored by Levenson and Andrew Harris, a criminal justice professor at the University of Massachusetts Lowell, traces the origins and evolution of the "100,000 missing" figure and identifies multiple fallacies that have surrounded the statistic.
Rates of registration noncompliance among registrants living in the community varied greatly, ranging from about 1 percent in some states (e.g. Florida, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, North Dakota, Vermont and West Virginia) to about 13 percent (California, Hawaii and Oklahoma). Nationally, the median rate of noncompliance is about 2.7 percent.
"Differences in how state systems define and capture data make it very difficult to know exactly how many sex offenders have truly gone missing," said Levenson, "but even using the most inclusive definitions, our data suggest that the 100,000 figure is highly inflated. That figure is three to four times what the number probably is."
This new analysis is part of a multi-phase research initiative to provide state and federal lawmakers with data to inform policies concerning the nation's sex offender registries. "Considering how much attention Congress has paid to reforming the nation's sex offender registries, one would expect that we'd be basing decisions on solid data," said Harris. "But the fact is that many important policy decisions are occurring in an information vacuum. We shouldn't be crafting national policy based on sound-bite statistics."
Read more about Levenson and Harris' most recent study on the University of Massachusetts Lowell website, or download the full report online.
More on Levenson:
Jill Levenson is an associate professor of human services at Lynn University and a licensed clinical social worker with over 20 years of experience treating sexual abuse victims, survivors, perpetrators and non-offending parents. Her academic focus is on sexual abuse and how offenders are categorized and treated.
Currently, Levenson, Lynn University and Debra Ainbinder, an associate professor of psychology at Lynn, are partnering with the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office (PBSO) on a community safety implementation project to help prevent sexual assault.
The "100,000 Sex Offenders Missing... or Are They? Deconstruction of an Urban Legend" study follows Levenson's May 2011 report that provided a snapshot of the nation's registered sex offender population. The authors were able to identify only about 4%, or 17,688, whose addresses could not be verified, despite claims by the U.S. Marshals Service that 100,000 sex offenders are missing.
Levenson is a nationally known expert on sexual violence and has become a respected authority on, among other things, laws aimed at protecting children while punishing, tracking and rehabilitating sex offenders. She has been quoted in national publications including the Associated Press, The Wall Street Journal and Newsweek, among others. She has published over 60 articles about sex crime policy and offender treatment.

George Clinton (once)
A group of aged men and women came on the stage, none of whom I identified as being George Clinton, they dwelved deep down into the funk, the whole funk and nothing but the funk so help us god. They burst through the funk-o-liciousness of the P-Funk and the full bodiment of the funkoplasm covered the room up good. Then they gave a toast to their dead friend who apparently wore a diaper and nothing else during performances...
...then they introduced the legend himself, the King of Funk, George Clinton. He was dressed modestly and not overly funky. He looked like an aging funk hermit...who came out of his eternal funk cave resting place for one final funk explosion.
He had difficulty remembering words and timings. He looked out of shape yet this 70 year old man exuded more funky particles and funk-o-lectrons then anyone else. When he began his Maggot Brain opening statement before Mr. Hampton took over for a 10 minute guitar solo I began feeling emotional. I really like that little poem at the start of Maggot Brain and seeing him say it a directly in front of me was actually kind of emotional for me. I felt real raw dirty funk...
Trivial memories:
-a couple hot chicks danced with me briefly and gave me a resounding high five.
-George Clinton saw the waiter going through the crowd with a tray of beers and called for his attention, the whole crowd gestured for the waiter to take notice and he turned and handed Clinton a beer and then everyone cheered.
Oliver Mtukudzi and friends (once)
Oliver Mtukudzi in concert was a very enjoyable experience.
He played with Habib Koité, Afel Bocoum, and 6 Mali players. It was very good, they were in unison and played together, danced together and sang together. They are funny too, they introduced the next song always with a interjection of comedy or an anecdote.
They had some instruments I've never seen before like the balafons and the drummer had an extra piece on his drum set which was this wooden globe. Some of the guitars were ones I've never seen before or know the name of and they sounded really good.
Jello Biafra and the Guantanamo School of Medecine (once)
Biafra had not appeared in Montreal since 1986 with the Dead Kennedys. When I was 18 I bought a Dead Kennedys t shirt and wore it around a lot, I stopped wearing it when some people at John Abbott mistook the symbol for being something skin head related but of course it represented something very opposite of that mentality. I dug it out of my garage and put it on under a sweater before going to the carpet store I worked at during that time. When I got out of work and went to the concert I threw my sweater on some table and bought beer and moshed with crazy kids to Let's Lynch the Landlord, California Uber Alles, Holiday in Cambodia, Come on Bleed, and Police Truck.
During Police Truck the aged and very sweaty Biafra jumped off stage and right into me while we were moshing around....that was kind of memorable I must say.

The best time I saw D.O.A. was thanksgiving day of 2010. I showed up late and tickets were sold out and they wouldn't let me bribe my way in or sneak in. When all hope was about lost and I was ready to pack up and go home Joey Shithead checked in the bar and I started talking to him. Many words later, we agreed that if I bought him one beer upstairs he'd put me on his guestlist and get me upstairs...
"Yo one more for Guestlist...."
Upstairs I bought Shithead a pint of beer and asked him about his recent travels to China. When they went on stage I went to the front...there were two Qubecois metal acts that opened and the crowd was very very rowdy that night. One kid that I was talking to before got up on stage and jumped off i caught and propelled him into the crowd and it was cool. I became the designated lifter to get people crowd surfing after that as everyone wanted to do it after they saw one monkey do it. I launched like 40 people into the air that night and it was really fucking fun.
This one chick was being moshed with inappropriately by a male and she started punching him right in the face. I like when chicks are cool like that.
The Residents (once)
There were these two crack heads who were smoking crack pipes right in front of me and they smelled like urine. I don't know how they managed to get in but at the time they were really annoying and if you watch any youtube vids from this concert you can hear them yelling at innoppurtune times through the whole song. Now their smell and annoying behaviour just helps me remember the concert very clearly so I guess I have to thank them.
The lead Resident's voice is so unique and odd that I want to absorb some of it into the way I talk and his mannerisms are cool too.
Devo (once)
Devo's shtick is pretty original as well, they are dudes from the future who are coming back to our time to tell us to be smarter and cooler in our day-to-day lives. Their show had a big screen backdrop that had video to accompany the performance, at one point the electricity gave out and the screen died but they kept going with flashlights because they are pretty good people. I danced with a young lady and we sang "Mongoloid" together and everyone had a great time as such.
The one knock on these guys is that they were hawking their "energy dome" chachkies for 30 bucks a pop, that's 30 bucks for a plastic hat. Mark Mothersbaugh was throwing them into the crowd for free though after as well as towels, and then it got sorta tongue in cheek and he started throwing towels that he wiped his butt with (over his pants though no worries) and then the dude that sings "Secret Agent Man" was throwing the dilapidated duct tape that held his mic to his mic stick into the throng of screaming Devo devotees who wanted souvenirs.
Hanson Brothers (coupla times)
In 2001 I went to my first real punk rock show and it was the best. Everyone was throwing beer EVERYWHERE, people were jumping off the top deck into the mosh pit, one jumper left in a stretcher...it was nuts.
I knew every word to all their god damn silly songs too. I left a man after the show hanging on a high five cause I was tired and not really thinking about high fives in those days...I vowed never to leave a brother hanging ever again at that moment and have never done so since.
We're Bad! So Baaaaaaaaad! We're Bad! I believe this in my HEART and I believe this in my Soul but we will never live long enough to kno-ow! Cause We're Bad!

The Ins And Outs Of Project Runway
While watching Project Runway's season premiere and the promo videos for tonight's episode, we noticed that some of the contestants (and Heidi) have awesome personal style. Others, on the other hand, have questionable style. Now, this doesn't mean the clothes they design are awful, but I think it does say something about a designer when he sports a rattail. After the jump, we judge Project Runway's style…
Heidi Klum always looks great, and we think this French-braid hairstyle of hers is going to take off.
It's all about feather headbands this fall, and Kenley is ahead of the trend since this episode was taped a while ago.
Hippie headbands are overdone, in our opinion (unless you're Zoe Kravitz), but that blue and white striped wall behind Emily is fab and would be a good bathroom paint job.
Does Daniel think he's Carrie Bradshaw with that flower pin?
Blayne, oh, Blayne. You are not a skater or a gay Kurt Cobain, are you?
Keith has a rattail. That is all.
Suede's blue mohawk is up for debate, as is his name.
Tonight at 10pm, the second episode of Project Runway will air on Bravo with the almost always fashionable Natalie Portman judging the contestants' eco-friendly designs. From the looks of the outfit she's wearing (above, green dress), Natalie's definitely "in."

Backstage at the Tivoli theatre, someone was rustling around the Christmas tree. Tinsel was being tweaked, baubles adjusted and presents primped as the set designer ensured that everything was perfect before it was time for the curtain to rise.
''And then I remembered that the woman crawling around the Christmas tree was actually the Queen of Denmark,'' says Michael Revie, a ballet dancer from Northern Ireland, who is dancing the role of the prince in The Nutcracker. ''It was quite surreal.''
Queen Margrethe, who celebrated 40 years on the Danish throne this year, has designed all the costumes and the set for the ballet, which opened in Copenhagen on Thursday.
The classic, with its instantly recognisably music by Tchaikovsky, tells the story of a young girl who falls asleep after a Christmas Eve party to dream about a magical kingdom, with dancing rats, swirling snowflakes, the Sugar Plum Fairy and her toy nutcracker transformed into a handsome prince.
For the past two years Queen Margrethe has been immersed in every aspect of the production, from sketching each costume individually - she is a celebrated artist who has exhibited her work under a pseudonym in galleries - to designing the set and correcting the scriptwriter and choreographer on historical inaccuracies. ''One draws on whatever one happens to know about,'' she says, modestly. ''Obviously I've done some research.''
Is her involvement a way of proving that she can exist beyond ceremonial duties - and have a life beyond the palace walls?
''I think perhaps it has become that way because I like doing things, painting, making things,'' Queen Margrethe, perched on a hastily-arranged chair in the foyer of the theatre in a brief moment of calm between rehearsals, tells The Sunday Telegraph.
In her tweed skirt suit, brown polo neck and bright red lipstick, she resembles an authoritative librarian rather than a queen. Small silver earrings, showing the twin dramatic masks of comedy and tragedy, hang from her ears. Two protection officers watch discreetly from afar.
''I have gradually become more involved in many more things. I suppose it is slightly mad to accept to do a production like this, but I think the madness is on both sides,'' she says, laughing.
The directors wanted to make the production feel very Danish, with the Kingdom of Sweets replaced by Copenhagen's Tivoli gardens and Hans Christian Andersen giving out the presents on Christmas Eve.
''The whole concept of doing it here in Tivoli appealed to me,'' she says. ''The idea of doing a Nutcracker, which was specifically Danish.
''It wasn't about being absolutely accurate - but certainly not presenting something that people would say, 'That could never have happened.'
''There was at one point the idea of putting a certain famous person in Copenhagen at that time into the play, we had thought of putting her in. And I said that would never have happened as she couldn't stand Hans Christian Andersen. So that is the sort of thing you simply have to avoid. We may have made some other wonderful gaffes, but we did try.''
That a reigning queen should roll up her sleeves and get stuck into theatre production certainly seem strange to a British audience. Queen Margrethe is the head of the oldest continuously reigning monarchy in Europe and is able to trace her lineage back to a Viking ruler, Gorm the Old, who became king in AD936. Like Queen Elizabeth, she is a great-great-granddaughter of Queen Victoria.
Unlike the queen, however, she studied at some of Europe's most rigorous academic institutions - gaining a degree in archaeology from Cambridge, studying politics at Aarhus University in Denmark, followed by the Sorbonne in Paris and the London School of Economics.
But it is to the arts that she devotes much of her time. In addition to attending almost every ballet shown in Copenhagen - sometimes seeing the same production three times - the 72-year-old Queen Margrethe also has, for the past 30 years, taken weekly ballet classes with a group of her childhood school friends. When approached by the arts director Peter Bo Bendixen, a former dancer at the Royal Danish Ballet, she confesses that she ''was very easily caught'' by the Nutcracker project, which involved designing more than 100 costumes and four large stage sets for a cast of 36 dancers.
''I did all the sketches for the costumes,'' she says. ''That was actually the part I did first. There were certain people who I knew were going to be part of the ballet, so I could start on them early on, before we had developed the story in detail.''
Will people be surprised at her level of involvement?
''Well I have been involved in this sort of thing before, several times,'' she says. ''Twenty years ago I did another production, which I thought at the time was all right. And I can see now that it wasn't. Since then I have accumulated a certain level of experience.''
So people within Denmark won't be surprised?
''They probably got a shock the first time, but now they're used to it.''
Dancers in the production have had to get used to being scrutinised by a reigning queen. As the lights dim for the rehearsal, the Queen is sitting alongside the artistic director, scribbling away in a heavily annotated A4 pad.
''It was odd at first, but she said right from the beginning that this is work,'' a London-based dancer, Joel Morris, says. ''She made us all feel really comfortable. And I thought she'd hardly be around at all, but she's here all the time - even at the non-costume rehearsals.''
One dancer, munching on a salad in the staff canteen, says the cast might be expected to bow for other royalty. ''But she doesn't want any of that,'' he says. ''You almost forget she's the queen,'' says Angela Maree, a South African who dances the role of the Sugar Plum Fairy.

Stoners everywhere should rejoice at this news. After conducting one of the longest and largest studies ever done on marijuana, researchers found that not only does marijuana smoking NOT cause lung cancer or chronic breathing problems but it can actually help to improve lung health.
This is CRAZY news and ultra important to the cause. WebMD has the scoop on this on one:
The study has followed more than 5,000 young adults in four cities for more than two decades. More than half of the people in the study reported smoking tobacco, marijuana, or both.
Over time, researchers repeatedly checked two measures of lung function: One was a test that measured the amount of air forcefully exhaled in a single second. The second test measured the total amount of air exhaled after taking the deepest possible breath.
Those tests help doctors diagnose chronic, irreversible breathing problems like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Cigarette smoking is a leading cause of COPD. And marijuana smoke contains many of the same chemicals as tobacco smoke.
Unbelievable study! I am so glad that this information came out and people are finally seeing the truth about marijuana. Just like any other substance, if you abuse marijuana it can become a problem for you but if you use it responsibly it is clearly a safer choice than alcohol and tobacco.

I want 12 v DC output from a Transformer less power supply.
I have used the attached circuit with little modifications. (Image is attached)AC Input Voltage = 220V , 50 HzR1 = 2.7 ohmsC1 = 1.25 uf, 400VD1 = 12 V
I connected R1 & C1 in phase line instead of Neutral and changed diodes polarity accordingly. Does this matters?
When i run this circuit.AC Voltage after C1 drops to 2.5 V and output DC Volts are1.5 v.I want 12 v ½DC output. How to get it?
How does a capacitor reduces AC voltage. what is the theory behind it?
Remember that it is current that kills not voltage. I would highly suggest going with a transformer.

Marineland: Inside the Controversy
Marineland: Inside the Controversy chronicles how the Star found out about Larry and other ailing or deceased animals at Marineland, including Smooshi the walrus and Skoot the baby beluga. The eRead details the digging that led to sources, and it explains how the series has galvanized a movement to increase oversight of marine parks and captive animals. It is a compelling look into the inner workings of both journalism and Marineland.
Liam Casey has worked at the Toronto Star since 2010, spending most of the time in the city section. He's worked on several large series, including post-traumatic stress disorder among police officers and a series on the broken mental health system. He was part of the team that won a National Newspaper Award for the Star's G20 coverage and was named Best New Writer at the 2012 National Magazine Awards for his piece in the Ryerson Review of Journalism about suicide reporting. He was a scientist before moving to journalism.
Linda Diebel, an award-winning political reporter, has worked across Canada, including on Parliament Hill and as the Star's bureau chief in Washington and Latin America. She has written two books, Betrayed: The Assassination of Digna Ochoa, and Stéphane Dion: Against the Current. She's been described as "that mean Diebel person" by President George H. W. Bush and someone "with a good head on her shoulders" by Noam Chomsky. They're probably both right.

Ronda Todd put faith first
Ronda Todd, 59, of Pierre, passed away April 23, 2013, at home surrounded by her family.
Funeral services were held Saturday, April 27, 2013, at New Life Assembly of God Church in Pierre.
Interment was at Riverside Cemetery.
Ronda Lou was born to Richard and Lois (Hutchison) Warner in Alva, Okla., joining one sister and two brothers with a younger brother to follow two years later. In 1958 the Warners moved to a ranch north of Reliance and Ronda attended grade school at a country school, attended two years of high school in Reliance, graduated high school from Sunshine Bible Academy south of Miller, attended one year of college on Mackinac Island Michigan, earned an undergraduate degree from Southern California College in Costa Mesa, Calif., and a graduate degree from the University of South Dakota in Vermillion.
Ronda accepted Jesus Christ as her personal Lord and Savior as a young girl and because of her faith sought ways to serve the Lord – through Christian education, spending summers on missions trips, participating and leading Bible studies, teaching Sunday School and children's Bible groups, and probably most importantly by studying God's word so her life took on the character of Christ, even in the times of medical challenges. Many benefited from her commitment to the Lord, but none as much as her family and close friends.
In 1976, the year Ronda graduated from Southern California College, her parents moved to a farm in Sully County and it was during the summer and fall of 1976 while spending time with her parents that she met Dan Todd, where a friendship developed that led to best friends, marriage in 1979 and a lifelong companionship. Married life included experiences in the Denver, Colo., area where Ronda worked for a Christian counseling center, Vermillion where she worked for Lutheran Social Services in a children's residential facility, Mobridge where she worked part-time for Lutheran Social Services as a marriage and family counselor and finally in Pierre, where she was able to spend more time with her parents.
Ronda and Dan became the proud parents of Amanda in 1984 while they lived in Vermillion and Owen in 1985 shortly after Ronda and Dan moved to Mobridge. Ronda's family was second only to her relationship with the Lord. Her part-time work schedules always accommodated her family allowing her to participate in their education, school activities and even home schooling for several years. In later years of more disability, she still focused on family needs, including the aging needs of her parents and a recently-born granddaughter.
Ronda struggled with a spinal tumor for over 20 years that migrated into brain tumors. She lost the physical battle with these tumors on April 23, 2013.
She is survived by her husband, Dan; daughter, Amanda Schmeichel, son-in-law Josh and granddaughter Raya of Colstrip, Mont.; son, Owen of Pierre; parents, Richard and Lois Warner of Pierre; sister, Reta and husband Dick Harkins of Ekalaka, Mont.; brother, Kirby and wife Aimee of Riverton, Utah; brother, Joe and wife Barb of Onida; brother, Dow and wife Cindee of Pierre; many nieces and nephews; and best friends, Marcia Berg, Kim Gisi and Glenda Palmer.
Many will miss her – those that believe in the Lord will meet her again.
Memorials will be donated to Sunshine Bible Academy.

Gulf of Mexico Community Workshops
In preparing the Gulf of Mexico Alliance Governorsĺ Action Plan [pdf - 1.47 MB], it was recognized early on that citizen input was necessary for identifying priority issues and building support for on-the-ground change. A series of Community Workshops were held across the five Gulf States, attempting to:
While the workshop series was interrupted by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, the Gulf States managed to conduct eight workshops in the five Gulf States prior to the release of the Action Plan. And most importantly, input received at the Community Workshops has been incorporated into the Governors' Action Plan.
╗ Federal/State Gulf Alliance Conference
On June 9th 2005, top environmental officials from the White House and five neighboring states gathered strengthen protection for the Gulf of Mexico. Hosted by Florida, the five Gulf states and the federal government outlined a shared ecosystem-based approach for improving the health of the more than 3.7 billion acres of Gulf water through coordinated coastal research, ocean education and water quality safeguards.
Surrounded by the pristine estuarine waters of Rookery Bay in Naples, the environmental leaders discussed strategies to expand existing regional partnerships for protecting the Gulf. The renewed alliance between the Gulf states is part of coordinated response to President George W. Bushĺs Ocean Action Plan, which called for the development of regional goals and priorities for safeguarding the nationĺs oceans and pointed to the Gulf of Mexico alliance as a model for other coastal areas.
From the June 9th meeting:
Event Photo
Brainstorming and discussion groups were excellent ideas, along with the commitment to carry resulting concerns/ ideas forward into reports and state and federal government.
State of the Gulf of Mexico Summit, March 28-30, 2006
The State of the Gulf of Mexico Summit 2006 was scheduled for March 28 ľ 30, 2006. The Summit was a major step toward creating awareness of those issues that lead to a sustainable quality of life based on sound economies and healthy and productive marine ecosystems. The goal of The Summit was to focus attention, discussion and collaborative action on achieving sustainable economies and environmental quality within the Gulf of Mexico Region.

The Princeton Depot is taking a page from its past to help ensure its future.
It was 1856 when the Princeton community pledged $50,000 to help establish the depot and bring the Great Northern Railroad to the city.
Now the Mille Lacs County Historical Society is turning to the community as it seeks pledges from a few good supporters with a goal of replacing the depot roof.
A grant is being sought from the Minnesota Historical and Cultural Heritage Fund to replace the depot's deteriorating roof, according to Director Penny Quast. The cost of replacing the much-needed roof has now reached about $250,000, according to Carie Furhman, Princeton's community development director.
That's where the local pledges come in.
Historical society officials have been told that a local match is very important when it comes to being awarded a grant. It's not so much the amount of money that is pledged, but the fact the community shows support for the project by pledging its own support, Quast said.
"A local match greatly improves the chances of obtaining the grant as it shows local buy-in and commitment, as well as demonstrates the community's investment in their historic buildings," according to the historical society.
You can show your support for the depot by making a contribution to the fundraising effort by sending a donation to the Mille Lacs County Historical Society at 101 10th Ave. S. or by emailing Quast at [email protected] prior to Sept. 20 to request a pledge form.

Casting the New 'Bill & Ted's' Movie (PHOTOS)
Two decades ago, Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter warmed the hearts of air guitar fans everywhere when they starred in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure and its sequel, Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey. Now that Keanu has revealed he'd like to revive the rocking time travel tale, we at Celebuzz took it upon ourselves to come up with a list of young actors who should be cast as bodacious Bill and Ted reduxes.
Though Keanu is said to be considering a reprisal of the boneheaded Ted, the filmmakers should probably check out Celebuzz's ideas for Casting The New Bill and Ted. Which actors do you think should be cast as Bill and Ted?

Developing a social justice framework to ensure good practice in higher education
Nelson, Karen J. & Creagh, Tracy A. (2011) Developing a social justice framework to ensure good practice in higher education. In 2011 Australia and New Zealand Student Services Association Biennial Conference (ANZSSA 2011), 4-7 December 2011, University of Technology Sydney, Sydney, NSW.
Conference Workshop Proposal
(PDF 7kB)
Accepted Version.
The concept of student engagement is a key factor in student achievement and retention and Australasian universities have a range of initiatives aimed at monitoring and intervening with students who are at risk of disengaging. Given the aspirations about widening participation, it is absolutely critical that these initiatives are designed to enable success for all students, particularly those for whom social and cultural disadvantage have been a barrier. Consequently, these types of initiatives must be consistent with the concept of social justice and a set of principles would provide this philosophical foundation for the sector. An Australian Learning and Teaching Council (ALTC) project that involves ten Australasian universities, is designing of a suite of resources for the sector which will include: (1) a set of principles for good practice in MSLE, (2) a good practice guide for the design and implementation of institutional MSLE policy and practice, and (3) a collection of resources for and exemplars of good practice to be taken up by the sector. This workshop session will provide an opportunity for participants to examine the draft set of principles and to discuss their potential value for the participants' institutional contexts.
Australian Learning and Teaching Council Competitive Grant CG10-1730 2010-2012: Good practice for safeguarding student learning engagement in higher education institutions.

Lifting the shroud of murder
Page Tools
Melbourne author and historian Richard Evans has written a book about the Pyjama Girl mystery.
Photo: Simon Schluter
A Melbourne historian has delved into the 70-year-old mystery of the Pyjama Girl murder, writes Michael Winkler.
It is 70 years since a woman's bashed, brutalised and partially burnt body was found stuffed in a drain outside Albury. It is 60 years since an Italian immigrant, Antonio Agostino, was convicted of manslaughter for the crime. But the mystery surrounding the killing of the Pyjama Girl, as she became known, may still be unsolved, according to Melbourne writer and historian Richard Evans.
Agostino was imprisoned for killing his wife, Linda. But Evans makes a persuasive case that the Pyjama Girl was not Linda Agostino. Instead he puts forward a provocative alternative scenario in which Antonio Agostino may indeed have killed his wife at around the time that the Pyjama Girl was murdered - but that Linda's body was never found and the identity of the corpse in the drain remains unknown.
The two cases might have been deliberately conflated, says Evans, to the mutual benefit of Agostino and the chief investigating policeman. He stresses, however, that this is just a theory. Evans is adamant that his job is to unearth facts, not to join unrelated dots simply to create a pleasing picture.
"It took about three years to get the book published (because) a number of publishers wanted me to come up with a solution and were unhappy that I didn't actually solve the case," he says.
"My entire purpose is to talk about things I can prove and get away from invention. It is a universal human trait to want an end to the story, but it is damaging. Look at the Azaria Chamberlain story, where invented endings caused an enormous amount of needless suffering."
Evans, 35, a journalist by training, is now undertaking a doctorate in history. He speaks like a lawyer - silver-tongued, erudite, with clauses and caveats carefully inserted without interrupting the flow.
The victim often gets forgotten, especially in this case when so little in known about her.
He has no formal legal training, but thinks something rubbed off in the five years he worked on law journals. "You get to know to question things, and notice places where information is missing."
In the Pyjama Girl case, questions and gaps proliferate. Freedom of information requests gave Evans access to police records and a 1000-page dossier on a 1944 coronial inquest, which forms the backbone of the book. Beyond that, it was deerstalker hat and pipe territory, with his inquiries ranging across medicine, law, science and, of course, history.
"I'm sure I've made mistakes, but everything I have claimed is true, I have evidence for," he says. "Without evidence it's not history. It's mythology or folklore or something else. If people wish to extrapolate from there I have no quarrel with that, but it should be done knowing what can be proven. I want to tell history well to a widespread audience. I was teaching media at RMIT but I realised that I was teaching history disguised as communication, or history disguised as media law. I thought, it's time to stop fooling around and acknowledge that history is my real passion."
Evans is also a voracious reader. He has recently finished the four-volume Arabian Nights, Grimm's Fairy Tales and early Chinese texts including Journey to the West.
The Bible was a logical follow-up; he chose the New Revised Standard Version for the accessibility of the language. "I'm a vague Christian who would like to be less vague. I was brought up Anglican, which means almost nothing, but I come from a long line of non-conformists and Methodists on my father's side. As I've grown older I've come to greatly respect the non-conformist tradition. I really respect the belief that you should sort out for yourself what's right and follow that path, disregarding the power of worldly things. Even if you come a cropper, it's still what you have to do."
He grew up outside Geelong, in a household without a television. "I didn't like it at the time, but now I thoroughly approve because consequently I read a great deal as a boy." He owns about 3000 books. A further 1000 were ruined in a flood last December. "I collect them to read them. I don't like the notion of owning a book for the sake of owning it."
Australian history, he says, has, "with honourable exceptions", been moribund during the past 15 years. "It has been under attack from two directions at once.
"Conservatives dislike it because of Aboriginal history in particular and its effect on contemporary politics. They suspect historians will drag up unpleasant things about the past they would rather not have to deal with.
"On the other side, the more progressive end of academia has been flirting with different kinds of post-modernism, which at different times have asserted history to be both undesirable and impossible. This has had an unfortunate demoralising effect."
The cadaver of the Pyjama Girl spent a decade in preservative fluid in a lead-lined coffin, at Sydney University and then at Sydney police headquarters, before being buried in a cemetery just north of Evans' home.
Now Evans has tried to lay her properly to rest by refuting the wilder theories that have persisted about her identity and demise, and restoring some of the central figure's dignity.
"In a murder story, there is a risk that you lose sight of the tragedy that starts it all. I wanted to preserve the horror of the killing, not just make it an intellectual puzzle. The victim often gets forgotten, especially in this case when so little is known about her, and I didn't want to let that happen again."

Look Again! It's A Hilarious Commercial For Old Spice! Now Back At Me!
Last night, while watching "Lost" (ZOMGbestepisodeever!!!), I caught this commercial for Old Spice and just about died. It's over-the-top, tongue-in-cheek sexism and it's hyssssterically pulled off. "I'm on a horse!" I seriously could watch this ad over and over and over and not get tired of it. "It's an oyster with two tickets to that thing you love! Look again! The tickets are now diamonds!"

Flames Sweep Series From Keydets
Chad Miller's third inning bases clearing triple gave Liberty an 8-4 lead the Flames never relinquished as Liberty went on to defeat the VMI Keydets, 9-7, Sunday afternoon at Worthington Stadium and sweep the three-game weekend Big South Series.
With their fourth straight win, Liberty runs its record to 21-8 and 3-3 in the Big South, while VMI falls to 20-9 and 2-4 in the conference.
For the third straight day, the Flames scored in the first inning to take an early lead. Lead off man Patrick Gaillard (Jr., SS, Taylors, S.C.) singled and Miller (Sr., 3B, Wheat Ridge, Colo.) walked to open the frame. Michael Just (Sr., 2B, Woodcliff Lake, N.J.) followed with a sharply hit double down the left field line to plate both runners for a quick 2-0 Liberty advantage. Just later scored on a RBI ground out by Aaron Grijalva (r-So., 1B, Redlands, Calif.) to go up 3-0.
VMI countered with three runs in the top of the second to knot the score at 3-3. With runners on the corners and no outs, center fielder B.T. Good singled up the middle to chase home both runners. Good later scored on a ground out by designated hitter Will Smith to tie the game.
The Flames went back on top in the bottom of the inning as Phill John (Jr., RF, Linwood, N.J.) reached on a error by the Keydet shortstop, advanced all the way to third base on a wild pitch and scored for 4-3 advantage on a single by Errol Hollinger (Fr., C, Upland, Calif.).
Once again, the Keydets answered back in the top half of the third. After being hit by a pitch, advancing to second on a wild pitch and stealing third on the front end of a double steal, lead off man Chad Rice came home on a sacrifice fly by first baseman Robert Crumpler to tie the game at 4-4.
In the bottom of the inning, the Flames erupted for four runs to take the lead for good. After loading the bases with two outs, Gaillard hit a ball sharply in the hole between short and third for an RBI infield single to put Liberty ahead, 5-4. Miller, who has hit safely in 10 straight games, followed by roping a liner down the right field line to clear the bases for a 7-4 lead.
VMI cut into the Liberty lead with three runs in the seventh inning. With two men on and one out, Rice doubled to right center field to score a run. The Keydets' then scored two more on a wild pitch and a sacrifice fly by Klint Reed to make it, 8-7.
The Flames then added a run in the bottom of the inning for a 9-7 lead. Abe Yeakel (Jr., DH, Kutztown, Pa.) walked, stole second and scored on two wild pitches.
Liberty starter Dustin Umberger (Fr., RHP, Hummelstown, Pa.) picked up his first collegiate win in his second start to even his record at 1-1 on the season. The right-hander pitched 6 1/3 innings, allowing seven runs on five hits, while striking out two and walking two. Reliever Tim John (Jr., RHP, Linwood, N.J.) came on to retired all eight Keydet batters he faced to earn his first save of the year. J.J. Hollenbeck took the loss for the Keydets to fall to 1-3 as he gave up five runs on six hits, while walking three.
The top of the Liberty line-up had a big day at the plate as Gaillard (3-for-5) and Miller (2-for-3) combined to go 5-for-8 with four RBI and scored three runs. It was Gaillard's second straight day with three hits. Second baseman Shane Geisslinger was the only Keydets with two hits.
Liberty hits the road on Wednesday for a night game against William & Mary. Game time is scheduled for 7 p.m.

Following a relatively quiet day in terms of economic data released, the Euro made further gains against the majors after several members of the European Central Bank publicly gave their support for a further tightening of monetary policy before the next scheduled rise in August. In the past 24hrs, two members of the ECB's governing council have declared that global inflationary pressures will force the central bank to lift euro-zone interest rates above the current 2.75% with Yves Mersch enforcing the view that the ECB may raise rates by upto 50 basis points. There was increased speculation that the ECB would adopt the same policy in their June announcement and as we know when Jean Claude Trichet adopted a more cautious approach and lifted interest rates by just 25 basis points, the Euro was severely weakened, trading upto 1.4650 against the Pound. However, as a result of these comments the Euro firmed 0.3% against the Dollar and was also up by 0.3% versus the Pound at the close. There is some significant data released this morning in the Euro-zone with the German ifo Business climate index, which is expected to continue showing signs of growth in June with the staging of the World Cup likely to provide a timely boost.
The negative sentiment surrounding the Pound has continued in the beginning part of this week with the Hometrack House Price index rising 0.8% in June, which was largely in line with expectations but it seems higher unemployment and rising energy costs are having a negative impact on the housing market with UK mortgage approvals set to drop significantly in May. There is a sparse supply of important data released until Wednesday this week with the CBI Distributive Trades Survey, which is widely expected to show further signs of growth in high-street trade this month and will add weight to calls for higher UK interest rates.
The Dollar's recent surge against Sterling continued yesterday after sales of new homes in the U.S unexpectedly rose to the highest level this year in May as prices tumbled in a market saturated with unsold homes. Purchases increased by 4.6% to an annual rate of 1.234 million, which was well ahead of market expectations and as a result the Dollar briefly pushed under 1.8200 against the Pound. The Federal Reserve has always monitored the U.S housing market closely and this figure will do little to ease concerns that rising interest rates are having a cooling effect on the market. There is some significant data released this afternoon in the States with U.S Consumer Confidence widely expected to decline further in June as a result of higher petrol prices and slowing economic growth. In addition, Sales of Existing Homes will provide a more complete picture of the U.S housing market and forecasters are predicting a slight decline in the figures released for June.
Data Released 27th June
GER 10:00 ifo Business Climate Index (June)
GER 10:00 Consumer Confidence (June)
U.S 13:30 Existing Home Sales (May)

Jim Wallhead vs Mattias Awad
Now confirmed for Enter The Rough House 6 is a bout between the Leicester based Judo Black Belt Jim Wallhead (12-5-0) and the 2005 European Vale Tudo GP Winner Mattias Awad (6-2-0)
Wallhead returns to Nottingham just 3 weeks after suffering a decision loss at Cage Warriors USA: Battle Royale against the Floridian Charles Blanchard from the American Top Team.
Despite having a strong first round Wallhead was unable to capitalise and felt disappointed at his performance. As a result he immediately contacted the CWFC matchmaking team for a chance to fight on the April 19th "Enter The Rough House" show and seek redemption.
Despite the loss on his US debut; Wallhead is an accomplished MMA fighter who has held two British Titles and also won the 2h2h Under 83kg/183lbs "Road To Japan" Tournament in 2006.
Known for his takedowns, ground and pound and improving striking; Wallhead has rightfully found his way into the top 10 European rankings and with wins over UFC veterans Jason Tan and Steve Lynch, he will look to get get back to winning ways when he enters the Harvey Hadden Centre on April 19th.
However facing Wallhead is one of Europe's best Welterweight talents and a fighter that Cage Warriors have looked to bring to their promotion for some time. As Mattias Awad flies in from Sweden looking to make a successful debut inside the CWFC cage, after visiting Cage Warriors previously as a cornerman in 2005.
Awad was originally set to face Dan Hardy, however due to the complications that prevented Hardy's fight with Chad Reiner from taking place at Cage Warriors USA in March, that fight was postponed until April 19. This left the CWFC team to decide upon the replacement for Awad, however thanks to Awad's management team, Cage Warriors have been able to confirm this excellent fight for "Enter The Rough House 6".
Awad is known for his submission skills, durability and patience, which has seen him claim wins over top ranked European stars such as Daniel Weichel and Mario Stapel. Whilst Awad is also famous for winning the the 2005 European Vale Tudo -76kg Grand Prix by getting a TKO win over the versatile French striker Mohamed Khacha and submitting the BJJ Black Belt Fabricio Nascimento in the Final.
However Awad has spent some time away due to injuries and other commitments but still remains one of Europe's best Welterweight fighters and with his vast submission grappling and Shootfighting background (Awad is 6-4 in Shootfighting bouts) he will test whether or not Wallhead was wise to come back so quick after his disappointment in the USA and will be looking to get back to winning ways himself after dropping a decision to the BJJ Black Belt Jonatas Novaes late last year.

THERE are just over three weeks left to have your say on the future of the fire service that will see cuts to front-line staff.
The public consultation on Hereford & Worcester Fire and Rescue Service's draft Community Risk Management Plan ends on January 10.
The proposals include significant changes to the service in order to save about £2 million on frontline operations.
Overall, about 140 jobs are at risk, and in Worcester it could mean losing one of the station's two full-time fire engine crews, leaving only a single fulltime crew as a first instance response.
Councillor Derek Prodger, chairman of Hereford & Worcester Fire Authority, said: "The Fire Authority is facing a very challenging financial position over the next few years and clearly recognises that difficult decisions have to be taken in the future.
"Since 2010/11, £2.5 million of savings have been made without affecting the service that communities receive from their local fire stations, but the £4.7 million is an additional saving requirement.
"It is anticipated that approximately £2.7m of the additional savings can be found from further changes to back office and support functions.
"However, the scale of the savings required will inevitably mean some changes to the frontline." .
Responses from the official consultation questionnaire will be collated into a report which will go before the Fire Authority on February 19 next year.
Proposals can be read in full at hwfire.org.uk/consultation where an online questionnaire can also be completed.
