Hambantota, Jul 24: Virender Sehwag, who returned to ODI fold with a bang after being rested for the Asia Cup on fitness grounds, has said that it was important for him to score runs after a poor show during the tour Down Under.
"It was very important for me to score runs and provide a good start to my team. I hadn't scored runs in Australia and this innings is important for me as we will be playing a lot of Tests and ODIs," Sehwag, who came back after recovering from a shoulder injury, told the media persons on the eve of second ODI against Sri Lanka.
Though the dashing opener missed out on a century during his run-a-ball 96 which included 10 hits to the fence, said he wasn't too concerned about missing the milestone, as he wanted to contribute to the team's success and was successful in doing it.
"It's not important whether I get a big score or not but if I can give a good start and add around 50 to 100 runs for the first wicket, it helps the team. As far as my individual performance is concerned, I hope that I will score one in the next match," said the explosive right-hander.
Sehwag also said that the conditions at Hambantota would play a vital role, as players need to be careful while playing the shots. He also admitted that toss will be very crucial as both the teams would look forward to win the toss and put up a huge total on the board.
"If you get a chance to bat first, nothing like it as you can put runs on the board and the opposition team are under pressure to chase the target. But again if you see, Sangakkara scored 133 and showed that one can bat well under lights also."
Talking about a few loop holes in the team's bowling Sehwag said bowling at the death is a concern as they are giving away too many runs and all the teams are aware of the art of chasing targets even when the asking rate has crossed 10.
"Our bowlers tried hard but Sangakkara and Perera batted really well. Nowadays batsmen don't feel the pressure while chasing targets with asking rate of 8, 9 or 10. Still our bowlers were able to contain them at the end," Sehwag said.
"Sri Lanka are a very good team and they are also playing to win and won't give up without a fight. We have to learn from our mistakes, whether it's our catching or fielding in general or bowling line and length."
Though his 96 was fantastic, it wasn't a quick-fire one as Sehwag's innings usually ensures a blistering knock, he maintained saying it was the first ODI after his return from injury.
"It depends on wickets, the conditions. It's the first game of the season and one needs to take his own time, study the behaviour of the wicket.
When asked about his plans ahead of the second one day international against Sri Lanka to be held at Hambantota on Tuesday afternoon, said "The target would be to keep a run-rate of five per over till the 30th over and take it from there on".
"We have some quality middle-order batsmen who can make full use of the third Powerplay (batting). It's important not to lose too many wickets with 20 overs remaining," the opener explained.
With the second ODI to be played at Hambantota this afternoon, can Virender Sehwag make it count with a wonderful ton and ensure another victory for the visitors?

Please see these important messages from the BTS regarding the UK Referendum result: BTS position and Animal Research: The British Toxicology Society's Position
President's Message:
In my last message I looked forward to what promised to be an excellent congress. It is now time to reflect.
As judged solely on the raw statistics, the 2017 Congress could be regarded as successful. It was very well attended with 273 attendees (from at least 15 countries), including 35 speakers (from 7 countries). The attendance at the Continuing Education Programme (CEP) was 115.
Many delegates spoke to me to express their view that it had been a very well run and enjoyable congress. This is borne out by the delegate evaluation. Thank you to those (the vast majority of delegates) who took the time to complete the survey – your feedback is very valuable.
The results are very consistent and overwhelmingly positive. I will highlight only a few key points. The CEP and all of the scientific sessions were rated either Excellent or Good by the vast majority of attendees for both Scientific Content and Relevance. It is gratifying to see that 93% said they would attend another BTS congress. Regarding the format of the meeting, 97% thought the number of sessions was about right and 80% favoured the new 3-day format over the 4-day format used previously. That is particularly pleasing as next year's congress in Newcastle will be organised over 3-days.
More than 95% of delegates rated the organisation of the congress Excellent or Good. I am delighted to give special thanks, not only to the sterling work of the Scientific Subcommittee (SSC), but also to our excellent business support team, in particular Steve Hewitt, who led the organisation of the congress.
The feedback also provides many suggestions for improvement and these will be studied carefully by the SSC to ensure that next year's congress lives up to or, better still, exceeds the high standards set this year.
Finally, I would like to thank sincerely our speakers and all who attended helping make this a very successful congress.

UF gymnastics excited for home opener
Published: Friday, January 13, 2012 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 12, 2012 at 6:11 p.m.
There's nothing like a home opener to get a team's juices flowing.
UF gymnastics
Who: Florida (1-0) vs. Illinois-Chicago (1-0)
When: 7 tonight
Where: O'Connell Center
"I'm so excited that our home opener is here," Florida gymnastics coach Rhonda Faehn said of tonight's meet against Illinois-Chicago in the O'Connell Center at 7.
"I think it's going to be an unbelievable opportunity for not only the whole team, but especially for our newcomers to see just how amazing this community is for its support for our gymnastics program. I'm anxious to see their faces when they run out of that tunnel and just feel the enthusiasm, so I think it's going to be really fun."
The third-ranked Gators (1-0) claimed four of five individual titles en route to a season-opening, 196.025-194.675 road win at North Carolina State last Friday.
Freshman Kytra Hunter led the way, beginning her collegiate career with wins in the all-around (39.30) and floor exercise (9.90). She is just the fourth UF freshman in the last 25 seasons to win the all-around title in the season opener.
"It's a great feeling," Hunter said. "I know there's going to be a lot bigger crowd than there was at N.C. State, so I'm very excited about my first home meet."
"Most of them (freshmen) have been to a Gator meet before, but we've definitely given them advice as to what to expect, and I think they're very excited," said 2011 NCAA vault champion Marissa King, who shared the beam title last week with fellow junior All-America Ashanee Dickerson and N.C. State's Jess Panza (9.825).
"They're going to be a little nervous because it's the first home meet and there will be people there they've invited, but it's going to be a great experience for them."
UIC (1-0) also opened its season on the road, posting a 191.575-188.35 win at Northern Illinois.
"I'm really excited it's our first home meet because I didn't know really what to expect last year when I was a freshman," sophomore All-America Alaina Johnson said. "Now I've experienced the home competitions and how much fun they are, and I can't wait to get out there and compete."

Q:is the threads fine or coarse or metric? and what is the the threaded end fits into?
1 answer
A:I'd be happy to help you with that! I was not able to find the thread pitch specifications. This particular oil sender/switch fit a variety of Porches, so I assume the threads would be metric. From the picture they look to be a 1.5 metric thread. Oil pressure switches/senders thread into the engine block to measure the oil pressure.

Question about 1997 Dodge Ram
Posted by WillieCindy on
Hi my name is Allen!
This is a common problem with Chrysler vehicles.
The cable on the regulator has broken allowing the window to slide downward, unfortunately the only repair is replacement of the Regulator/Motor Assembly which must be bought at the dealership.
To remove the door panel, you must remove all the screws and remove the handle that opens the door, next grab the panel and pull upward if doesn't move upward you will need to pull it toward you away from the door, pull very hard the clips holding it are very tight, sometimes you will need to install a screw driver at the bottom of the panel, put it between the panel and the door and pry toward you. They will make a pooping sound that sounds like you breaking the door but its OK, pull it hard, then lift upward and toward you. That's It!

We love this film created by Maurice Heesen and Smarthouse for Neleman Wine. At Smarthouse they call it a 'wild card' when they allow one of their directors to create a film for a brand they like.
After a short brainstorm with Neleman's owner – Derrick Neleman – Heesen came up with the concept. The team was so happy with the actors' convincing act that they left out the subtitles. Which is indeed a great (and convenient) choice.
Here's another film where the wine more clearly quenches the temperament.
The films were directed by Maurice Heesen, shot by Niels Boon, edited by Manuel Rombley and the sound was done by Studio Lennert Hunfeld.

WWE: Top 5 Wrestlemania 33 Opponents For The Undertaker
Tonight on RAW in New Orleans, the Undertaker will return to the WWE. While anything is possible when the Deadman returns, many are expecting that tonight's appearance will begin Taker's road to what could possibly be his final Wrestlemania.
The last we saw of Undertaker, he was promising the Smackdown LIVE crowd that he was not simply going to be a Wrestlemania attraction. The announcement leads us to believe Taker will be making a challenge for the Royal Rumble, perhaps even making his intentions known to enter the Rumble.
With the anticipation and excitement building, we look ahead to Wrestlemania 33 and have found the only five opponents the WWE should consider putting in the ring with The Undertaker!
Click the slides to see which one of these opponents you believe would make the most intriguing matchup for The Phenom!

Is It Fair For a Woman to Get Pregnant on Purpose?
We've all heard stories about the wife who skipped pills or poked holes in her diaphragm to get pregnant. But, if a woman desperately wants a baby and her partner doesn't inquire about her methods of birth control or use any of his own — is it fair game for her to try and conceive? There's been a bit of buzz on the Internet as of late and we're curious about your opinion.

Here on Julius Kingdom Farm we are definitely feeling the effects of fall: our view of the surrounding forests is swiftly turning from green to a mixture of reds and golds and the wind that comes in from the southwest is starting to get a little chilly. The days are getting shorter and we've all pulled our sweaters out of the depths of our closets and into our drawers. Fall inevitably brings along with it the following: a hankering for tea and warm drinks, a sense of nostalgia for autumns of the past, a few extra pounds put on as the body prepares for the cold weather, and dry, dry skin. This is where Tata and her skin and health tips come in! How to stay looking and feeling your best as the seasons change? Read on:
1: Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate! Dry skin is a staple of fall and winter, as air humidity lowers and thus the water in our skin escapes at a faster rate than in warm air. Plus, going frequently from the cold air of outside to the warm of inside has a drying effect on our skin, leaving us feeling itchy and scaly. Drinking lots of liquids, primarily water, throughout the day will combat this effect. Starting the day off with a cup of hot water with the juice of half a lemon is a great way to hydrate while getting a little burst of Vitamin C, which supports the immune system, stabilizes blood pressure, balances your pH, and purges toxins from the blood.
2. Take Care of your Skin: When showering, try to keep the water temperature relatively lukwarm to keep it from getting super dry as soon as it cools off. Put your moisturizer on while your skin is still slightly damp – and remember to pat your skin dry rather than rubbing it dry, which leaves a little more moisture behind. Try our Revitalizing Body Oil for some super luscious age-defying hydration for your body that will keep it soft and flake-free all day. As for your visage, both our Rebuilding and Reparative Moisturizers are amazing for hydrating to the layers of the dermis, but the Reparative Moisturizer is specially formulated for super dry skin and dry climates. If you live in the chilly North like we do, we recommend you take the Reparative route for the winter months to keep your face soft and moisturized all day!
3. Don't give up on the Farmer's Market – take advantage of Fall Veggies! As soon as it starts to get cold, it can feel like the growing season is abruptly over and there's no fresh veggies' at the farmer's market to keep your weekly lunches and dinners colorful and healthy. This is not the case: expand your veggie horizons to include cold-weather crops like broccoli, kale and cabbage, butternut and delicata squash, rutabaga, parsnip, radishes and pumpkins. Making them yummy is easy: roast 'em up with a sprinkle of rosemary and thyme, and maybe a dash of maple syrup!
4. Treat your Feet to an Essential Oil Foot Soak: Our feet can often take the brunt of cold weather harshness. They get dry, cracked, and simply neglected. Giving your feet a good soak can be a great way to relax, calm down and relieve stress.
- Gather 1 cup epsom salt
- 1/2 cup raw honey
- 1/2 gallon warm water
- 2 cups warm milk – not low fat!
- 3 drops of your favorite essential oil: peppermint (soothing properties), rosemary (helps with aches, pains and arthritis), or lavender (super relaxing)
Mix all together and soak until you see fit!
5. Stay Active! Our bodies' natural inclination as the days get shorter and temperatures drop is to hibernate in the warmth and light of our homes. Plus, when you're at work all of the light hours of the day, it can be difficult to inspire yourself to get out and exercise when it feels like it's night at 7 o'clock. But it's important for your physical and mental health to find the time to move around and fight the seemingly inevitable winter sluggishness – do some in-house exercise first thing in the morning, or schedule weekly zumba, yoga, pilates or gym classes. Get outside on the weekends! Take a fall foliage walk, bundle up for a long crisp bike ride, walk around the neighborhood with friends. Set aside a bit of time in every day's calendar for a bit of movement, even if that just means strolling around the block with a mug of tea right when you wake up. It can be a challenge, but your body and mind will thank you!
6. Enjoy Healthy Cold-weather Drinks such as hot water with a tablespoon of Apple Cider Vinegar and a spoonful of honey to support the immune system, soothe digestive issues, and detox the system. Or a cup of warm water with the juice of half of a lemon for a daily burst of fresh vitamin C to regulate blood pressure and to fight blemishes and outbreaks. Try other types of tea like Raspberry Leaf to support the health of women's reproductive systems, Echinacea to defend against sickness, Ginger to soothe the belly and digestive system, and Green for an energizing dose of antioxidants. One can never have too much tea – so drink up!
Keep this tip in mind: adding milk to tea (primarily black tea like Earl Gray or Morning Breakfast) essentially neutralizes the natural health effects of tea like antioxidants and blood pressure regulation. Who knew?! So opt for a bit of honey in your tea each morning rather than a splash of cream.
What are your essential tips for keeping yourself looking and feeling healthy through the cold weather?

ATLANTA — The Georgia House this afternoon voted overwhelmingly to postpone action on zero-based budgeting.
Thursday, the Senate voted unanimously to override former Gov. Sonny Perdue's veto last year of legislation that would have shifted to so-called zero-based budgeting rather than continuation budgeting. The current process carries over any prior year's appropriation rather than having every agency start each budget review at zero.
The Senate voted Thursday after the House had adjourned, and so Monday was the first time it could act on the veto override. House Speaker David Ralston referred the override to the House Rules Committee.
Ralston had told reporters late Thursday that the House would pass a new zero-based budgeting bill with a new start date because the vetoed bill would have required the budget under current consideration to be in the zero format.
State Rep. Bobby Franklin, R-Marietta, objected.
Franklin called for a vote by the whole House to overturn Ralston's decision to send the Senate action to a committee. Franklin argued that the state Constitution requires immediate consideration by one chamber if the other chamber overrides a veto.
Ralston said his assigning it to a committee was the immediate action.
"Excuse me," Ralston said.
"I'm respectfully calling for a vote to overturn the action of the chair," Franklin said.
When Franklin demanded a vote to overturn Ralston, he was the only representative supporting his stance in a vote of 164-1.
It wasn't an unusual position for Franklin. The staunch conservative often casts the lone vote in opposition to bills because he considers them government intrusion.

Ubicación. Normalmente me quedo en hoteles para dormir en áreas me donde recrearse. Este funcionó para mí. Problema irrelevantes. El personal lo hizo por encima y más allá para arreglarlos
Barato, limpio, moderno, cómodo...
Ubicación, limpio, funciona bien, instalaciones bien dirigidas Ninguno
Las instalaciones son nuevas y muy correctas. El personal de recepción muy atento y colaborador.
The glass shade in the ceiling fell and glass broke in the kitchenette and shattered all over the place. We were very lucky we were not in that area of the room when it happened. We called it in but they did not even offer to come clean it up. Not good
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Even though we were in a dorm room, it is not crowed. Unlike other Hostels, there is no space for party so it is quiet. The restroom is just in the opposite of the room, very convenient. The check-in procedure is a bit overwhelmed, need to check in by a computer your own, fill out some papers and fax to the owner then wait for the room code to get the key... need time to figure it out.
Cute lil place.. great location... Liked everything
We had a place to sleep. The office was very nice and updated. The rooms were not updated. Parking, towels were not very white, fail on the wake-up call, very utilitarian. Stairs were interesting with the trash bin at the top which you had to maneuver around. Just kind of odd.
Good location Awful room, indifferent staff, and so freezing cold because the heat was broken. We had to buy a space heater. No one cared or put any effort forth
It wold be nice if they had better parking and a hot tub, other than that it was great.
Painted Buffalo has outdid itself since I stayed there just a few years ago. Newer hotel décor in the rooms, new luxury towels, and extraordinarily pleasant staff. I really appreciated the 'late check-out' and swimming pool. The only thing that could be improved might be the parking.
The kitchen facilities available poor lighting in the bedroom section - poor for reading
Rooms were cute and clean. The rooms had coffee maker which is a big plus.
I was especially happy with the policy on smoking. Hard to find
Our stay as short but i would recommend thus motel to travelers. It has alot to offer, especially if yu spend a few days in the area. The rooms were clean and roomy.
Total willingness of owner and staff to be honest about upgrading in progress. They have already done much good work. The bedroom part was comfortable; the kitchen was very good indeed, better than expected and with full facilities (cooker, fridge, d/w etc). Well done! Nothing displeased us. The bathroom clearly needed upgrading but the owner told us this would be done within the next month and this was not in response to any complaint from us. It was clean and functional even as it was. The recent reviews we saw in August were fair.
El precio era bueno para la zona. Las habitaciones estaban limpias y eran tranquilas. Las habitaciones estaban un poco apretadas y pasillos estrechos.
Nada bueno en este hotel. Sin duda el peor hotel en el que hemos estado. Las sábanas estaban sucias, las habitaciones olían, las camas se hundían. El hotel necesita una puesta al día.

- 4 garlic cloves, peeled
- Pinch of salt
- Fresh lemon juice
- Spanish extra-virgin olive oil
Place the garlic in a mortar along with the salt. Using a pestle, smash the garlic cloves to a smooth paste. (The salt stops the garlic from slipping at the bottom of the mortar as you pound it down.) Add the lemon juice to the garlic. Drop by drop, pour the olive oil into the mortar slowly as you continue to crush the paste with your pestle. Keep turning your pestle in a slow, continuous circular motion in the mortar. The drip needs to be slow and steady. Make sure the paste soaks up the olive oil as you go. Keep adding the oil, drop by drop, until you have the consistency of a very thick mayonnaise. If your allioli gets too dense, add water to thin it out. This takes time—around 20 minutes of slow motion around the mortar—to create a dense, rich sauce.

Featured Collections
These colorful and fast-growing trees are from the tropics, and warm temperate areas like the Himalayas and Argentina. There are over 114 species and varieties, widely distributed throughout the world. Waimea had one of the world's best collections of these genus until a microscopic wasp found its way to Hawai`i in 2004. In Hawai'i, the popular wiliwili tree, E. sandwicensis, had been decimated. Even old trees growing in the Valley from long before the botanical garden were established, are on their last legs. The Erythrina Gall Wasp lays its eggs on newly emerging leaf and flower buds which then swell to grotesque shapes. In December of 2008, another predator wasp was released as a bio-control. There is now a dynamic balance between these two alien wasps in Hawaii, but the Wiliwili trees survived.
These trees can grow up to 30 feet high and its bright red seeds are used in lei-making. The lightweight wood of the wiliwili was used by early Hawaiians for surfboards and fishnet floats, and is still used for outrigger canoes. In Central and South America, these trees are often used to shade crops like coffee.
Several species may prove to have important medicinal and economic uses. This collection is part of an international research effort to study the medicinal value as well as other uses of these plants.
Bamboos are actually giant members of the grass family, Poaceae. At least 1500 species can be found widely distributed in the topics and warm temperate areas of the world. Bamboos are the fastest-growing woody plants with some towering over 60 feet high. Many selections are highly prized for their variegations, and unusual stem shapes.
Next to palms man uses the bamboos more than any other plant family. They are unsurpassed for building construction and scaffolding. Artisans use the fine-grained wood to create farm tools, musical instruments, brushes, baskets and limitless handicrafts.
Bamboo is the sole food source for the endangered Giant Panda of China and in many oriental dishes the tender bamboo shoot is indispensable.
One surprising characteristic of most types of bamboo is that after many years, all the plants of one species will flower at the same time, even when widely separated. The massive amount of fruit produced use to cause an infestation of rats in historical China, which then led to famine.
Hibiscus Hybrids
Among the most popular flowers of tropical regions are the magnificent blooms of the hybrid Hibiscus.
The Hibiscus hybrid collection presents a dramatic floral display of several hundred cultivars from throughout the world. Many of these are antique or heirloom varieties, no longer in vogue.
(Visit the Hibiscus Evolution Garden to learn of the development of the Modern Hibiscus hybrid).
Hibiscus Evolution Garden
Hawai'i's state flower is the Hibiscus. This garden shows us how the modern Hibiscus has been developed since the early 1800's.
This is the only garden of its kind in the world and highlights many different Hibiscus, including several that are endangered.
There are 10 sections to this garden:
- The first section is a collection of true species.
- The second grouping shows old forms, including Hibiscus varieties found by early European visitors to Asia and the South Pacific Ocean.
- The next seven sections show the results of crossing members of the first two groups.
- The last section features the magnificent blossoms of the modern hybrid.
Among the Hibiscus plants and serving as groundcovers are members of the Commelinaceae family. A family of mainly tropical and subtropical plants with about 500 species in 38 genera. All the species are herbaceous and most have fleshy stems.
Some members have long been cultivated for decoration or as pot plants. Eg. Dichorisandra ("Blue Ginger"); Tradescantia("Wandering Jew") several species of honohono, Commelina, are valued as cattle fodder and are sometimes eaten raw or cooked, by humans.
Sap from these plants can cause an allergic reaction on the skin of sensitive persons.
This family is one of many in the major plant group monocotylononae; note that the flower parts are in multiples of 3, typical of plants in this group.
Hawaiian Hibiscus
The genus hibiscus adds a great variety of color to the Hawaiian flora. Surprisingly, the bright red Hibiscus kokio flowers are descended from the same pioneer ancestor that evolved to become our two white-flowered species: H. waimeae from Kaua'i named for Kaua'i's Waimea Canyon and H. arnottianus found on other islands. These two native whites, Koki`o ke`oke`o, are the only hibiscus in the world that give off a faint perfume at dawn and dusk.
For no good reason, the state flower used to be a Chinese red hibiscus. That was changed in the late 80's when the bright yellow-flowered endemic Hibiscus brackenridgei, Ma`o hau hele, was given that honor. This endangered species survives in the wild in very few places. Fires in 2007 impacted the already limited range of the O'ahu subspecies Mokuleianus. Lana'i's last few plants are not doing well, but several collections are growing well at Waimea. A subspecies found on Moloka'i in 1930 wasn't seen again until a small population of 16 plants was found in a military reservation on O'ahu's west coast in 2001.
One of our native hibiscus species is indigenous. H. furcellatus, `Akiohala, with big pink flowers, got to Hawai'i without man's help, but wild plants of this species can also be found in Mexico and the Caribbean.
The jury is still out as to whether the hau tree, H. tiliaceus, is a native or a Polynesian introduction. Unusual forms of these trees are planted along the banks of the stream above the first bridge. Taxonomists will soon put the hau tree in to a new genus, Talipariti.
The Hawaiian Hibiscus collection is large. Four sections separated by roads and paths start at the Hale 'Iwi burial site and extend down to the main road makai of the banyan tree.
Hawaiian Ethnobotany
In ancient Hawai'i, plants played an important part in all aspect of life. Plants were not only a food source, but were used in medicines, building, clothing, weapons, and as food containers.
The kāhuna were skilled in utilizing the plants around them for medicines and religious ceremonies. The ti plant was used to reduce fevers, while the ginger root was mashed and mixed with salt water for a purification mixture. kō (sugar cane) juice helped make medicines more palatable.
Early Hawaiians used koa wood for building canoes and surfboards, and the wauke for pounding into tapa cloth. Leaves of the ahuhu were crushed and put in tide pools where it made fish an easy prey by immobilizing them.
This garden highlights many of the plants utilized by ancient Hawaiians and has individual markers telling the specific uses. A row of ti plants separates the edible from the non edible plant sections. The small medicinal garden is planted under and around 2 Milo trees.
As you enter this collection from the upper road you'll see an'ulu (breadfruit) tree, and beyond it are tall, flowering ko (sugar cane) plants surrounding three fenced kalo (taro) plantings. Hawaiian varieties of mai'a (banana) are planted near the kalo beds, and beyond them are two 'ohi'a 'ai (mountain apple) trees from the South Pacific which fruit twice a year. The ground covers under the sugar cane are varieties of 'uala (sweet potato). These can be recognized by their flowers which resemble miniature morning glories which are closely related.
Our named varieties of 'uala are being grown the traditional way a bit further up the Valley- the tubers grow in loamy soil in low rock cylinders. You can see these by the edge of the grass near the banyan tree.
After walking past the kalo beds you'll see a row of ti plants separating the edible from the non-edible plant sections. A medicinal garden is planted under and around two milo trees, hibiscus relatives with excellent wood brought by the Polynesians. Across the trail in the non-edible section are two calabash trees. These along with the Kona orange tree in the food section did not get to Hawaii until after western contact. The thin-shelled calabash fruit, about 6" in diameter, surprisingly grow right from the bar of the tree. Calabash's gourd-like fruits were used as bowls and made into musical instruments. In this same area is the only type of bamboo early Hawaiians used and the favorite loulu palm species used for thatching.
Native Fern Garden
Our native fern garden, established recently is located next to the Pikake Pavilion. One sixth of Hawai`i's native flora is in the pteridophytes. The well-known endemic tree fern, hapu`u (Cibotium chamissoi), is commonly found in mesic to wet forests of O`ahu. Other species of hapu`u dictate at higher elevations. We are encouraging Hawai`i residents to plant the endemic tree fern in lieu of the invasive Australian tree fern that is used commonly for landscaping. In the wild, the hapu`u is threathened by feral pigs that eat the new growth; some plants were cut down for their fibrous trunk used for decoration or to mount epiphytic plants on them, such as orchids.
Ferns are a crucial part of the Hawaiian culture. In lei making, fronds are used abundantly. It is mentioned commonly in song and chant as well.
Lei Garden
The lei garden consists of plants that produce flowers, seeds, and leaves that include color, fragrance, lasting quality, and rarity for lei making.
Today, in Hawai`i, the lei is a symbol of friendship, love, and trust. It is offered as a gift of honor to friends and visitors. The connection to its origins goes back to Southern Asia, after many hundred of years of migrating form island to island eastward across the vast Pacific Ocean, bringing with them the arts and traditions of the lei which generations before them had developed on the continent of their origin. The materials of lei making were substituted, the reasons for and the rituals of the lei suffered changes also as people moved form place to place. A greater and richer variety of leis was made in Hawai`i at this time than in any other Polynesian group. Most plants in this garden bloom profusely in March and September.
Tropical Fruit, Nut, and Spice
While we expect tropical fruit to grow on trees, there are a large number, which come from shrubs and even herbs.
In this garden, there are well-known fruits like mango, guava, and papaya, along with custard apple and rukam, which are equally tasty but not as well known. There is the jackfruit, which grows quite large and can weigh up to 40 pounds. And, a delicious fruit called durian, which has an obnoxious smell.
There are also a few subtropical nut and spice trees that grow here, such as the macadamia nut and the Brazilian chestnut trees. Please come to the garden to smell the spice trees and guess what they are before reading the labels mounted on the trees.
Malvaceae Family -Hibiscus species collection
The ornamental hibiscus hybrids are the best known, but there is great diversity and beauty in these wild hibiscus species and their relatives, which include cotton and okra. Of all the different hibiscus species in the world, only the two white flowered endemics (Koki`o ke`oke`o) found in Hawai`i have a fragrance. There are about 300 species from tropical and sub-tropical areas.
Amaryllidaceae Family
This plant family has over 1,100 species, but the Crinum, or spider lilies, are especially favored in this garden. Efforts are underway to preserve many of the unusual and rare plants, and already this collection is one of the largest in the world.
Ferns and Begonias
Ferns are a very primitive group of flowerless, spore-bearing plants divided into about 20 families and 300 genera. The nearly 10,000 species we know of are survivors among the millions that evolved and went extinct long before flowering plants appeared on earth. Coal deposits are the carbonized remains of the vast fern forests of the Devonian era.
Most ferns have fronds, which uncurl as they grow. Spots on the undersides of these leaves called sori produce millions of single-celled spores, which are carried like dust by the wind. Ferns depend on water to complete their life cycle, so most are found in moist areas.
Take a look at our Native Fern collection in the Pikake Pavilion.
This family of perennial herbs and shrubs is found in every tropical region of the world. Begoniascan usually be recognized by their asymmetrical leaves and succulent jointed stems.
Their tiny seeds account for their wide dispersal, even to places as remote as Hawai`i. The endemic genus Hillebrandia is endemic to the islands.
Begonias have been extensively hybridized for their ornamental leaves and clusters of white, pink, red or yellow flowers.
Gingers and Heliconia
There are over 1000 species of Gingers in the Zingiberaceaefamily. They are widely scattered throughout the tropical regions of the world, with the heaviest concentration in the Indo-Malaysia area. Some species are grown for their ornamental foliage and flowers, while others are used to make dyes, perfumes, medicines, spices, and condiments. Flowers are borne either on the leafy vegetative stems or on a separate leafless flowering stalk.
Most of the over 150 species of Heliconia, in the family Heliconiaceae, are native to central and South America. A few are found on various islands in the South Pacific. Different species range in height from 2 to 20 feet and are easily distinguished by their long leaf stems. The colorful, boat-shaped bracts are on either erect or pendant stems and usually conceal the small true flowers within. The leaves are used for roof construction and wrappings for food, while the long lasting ornamental bracts are prized for cut flower arrangements.
This family which includes the pineapple ginger is closely related to the gingers, except the plant parts do not have a fragrance. Other plants in this family are sometimes called "crepe ginger" or "spiral flag gingers".
The genus Bauhinia is popular for its brightly colored five-petaled flowers that resemble orchids. There are about 250 species distributed throughout the tropics. They can usually be recognized by their deeply lobed leaves which look like paired leaflets. Bauhinias, in the legume or fabaceae family, all bear flattened, double-seamed pods.
Bauhinia variegata is cultivated in India for its bark used for tanning and dyeing and its wood, called mountain ebony. The seeds of B. petersian are eaten in Africa and used as a substitute for coffee.
Bauhinias are frequently used in landscaping because they are compact and prolific flowerers. B.x blakeana, commonly called the Honk Kong Orchid Tree, is widely lused as a street tree because it never sets seed nor even drops pods.
Many Bauhinias are climbers. You can the the large leaves and coiling tendrils of B. vahlii, covering the monkeypod tree overhead.
The genus of "twin-leaved" plants was named by Linnaeus for John and Caspar Bauhin, twin Swiss botanists fo the 16th century.

YouTuber Makes Dubstep Track With Dial-Up Modem Sounds
A YouTube user has set the debates in Dubstep to rest.
Dubstep, the much-maligned largely American music form championed by extreme sports fans, dayglo enthusiasts and drunken college students, has provided hilarious fodder for countless memes and incessant EDM vs. music arguments, but now a YouTube user has set the debate to rest.
As many have joked, brostep does sound a lot like a dial-up modem going apesh-t, and without adding drums or any other sounds, YouTube user Muzik4machines has taken that ol' familiar sound and cooked up a perfectly plausible dubstep track in just four hours. Have a listen below, particularly at the 12-minute mark, when the track is heard in all its glory.
"There is no synth and no samples used," Muzik4Machines writes in the video's description. "Even the drums are all based on parts of the modem sound, the bass is pretty clearly shown in the intro from modem buzz to brostep wobble."
Thanks to Spinner for the report.

(The Hosting News) – Additional cloud services are now available in Europe thanks to a cloud expansion recently undertaken by cloud solutions provider FireHost.
Backed by FireHost data centers in London and Amsterdam, the company's cloud solutions include managed support, enterprise security along with scale and control all with an emphasis by the company on security.
Regarding the matter in a press release, FireHost European operations director Katrena Drake discussed the issue of security, a pivotal matter that shapes cloud.
"The elevated importance of securing company websites and data against malicious attacks has led to increasing demand for secure cloud hosting environments," Drake stated.
Drake continued, "The success of our business model within our U.S. facilities has been phenomenal and we're excited about bringing our approach to the European marketplace
FireHost says that within the past year, it successfully halted "50 million external hacks including SQL injections, cross-site scripting and brute force attempts."
The U.S. states of Texas and Arizona currently host the cloud solution provider's other data center locations.
Institutions in the areas of finance, healthcare and eCommerce are especially fit for FireHost's cloud solutions, according to the provider.
Meanwhile, FireHost provides cloud solutions to some top companies such as Fossil, Johnson & Johnson and Farmers Insurance. In September of last year, the company announced that it had secured $10 million dollars in funding thanks to an investment made in part through The Stephens Group, LLC.

Since CBS Sports' recent announcement that Turner Sports analysts Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith would be added to the NCAA Basketball Championship Selection Show (and its game coverage), Barkley has done a fabulous job of stirring the pot and adding some controversy to the event.
In addition to questioning the NCAA tournament selection committee, athlete graduation rates and the New York Knicks for raising ticket prices, he got into a war of words with long-time CBS college basketball analyst Billy Packer. Barkley disliked Packer saying he didn't favor NBA analysts working the NCAA tournament. Whether it was a conveniently timed war of words, as Bob Raissman of the New York Daily News argues, it still happened.
After Barkley's performance during Sunday night's tournament selection show, some groaned about what the next three weeks will bring. Some are worried his analysis won't have any style and others believe it won't have substance, especially if he confuses Utah and BYU.
Barkley took his act out to the late night TV stage, promoting the CBS' coverage of the tournament on CBS' The Late Show with David Letterman Monday. Letterman pounced on the stories following Barkley and gained a bunch of laughs in the process. Barkley's no slouch, though.
Letterman: Do you know anything about college basketball?
Barkley: Basketball is basketball. I mean, It's no different ... it's all basketball. The toughest thing is trying to learn all the players, which I don't think I'm going to be able to do that anyway. I mean, there's 68 teams. Some of these guys think that because they know the players' names, they know something about basketball. They don't know anything about basketball, they just know the players' names.
Letterman: College basketball has two halves, two 20-minute halves. There's a difference right there.
Barkley: I figured that out the other day ... (laughter) You know it's really weird you say that 'cause the other day me and Kenny (Smith), every time we did a show, we went and sat down and within 30 seconds it was already halftime. It wasn't like two long quarters. It was driving us nuts. We had to rush through our meals because this comes around very quickly.
Later, after a discussion about the NCAA, Letterman moved on to the Knicks and their acquisition of Carmelo Anthony. Barkley had another Knicks-related topic on his mind: defense, or the lack of it.
Letterman: What about the Knicks? They got that Carmelo Anthony and everybody is excited.
Barkley: You know, in the history of basketball -- first of all Carmelo (Anthony) is a terrific player; Amar'e (Stoudemire) is a terrific player and I like Landry Fields. But I gotta say I watch the Knicks play, in the history of all basketball, they may be the worst defensive team ever. They play zero defense. And they're not going to do well in the long run.
What did you think of the interview? Did it help him or did he look foolish?
Reid Cherner has been with USA TODAY since 1982 and written Game On! since March 2008.
He has covered everything from high schools to horse racing to the college and the pros. The only thing he likes more than his own voice is the sound of readers telling him when he's right and wrong.

Gender Theory Madness: 9 Catholic Universities Fall for 'Gender-Neutral' Bathrooms
By James Donlon
February 01, 2016
An alarming number of Catholic universities are bowing to the homosexual revolution's latest demand: gender-neutral or "transgender" bathrooms on campus.
So-called gender-neutral restrooms have been reportedly allowed or installed at Boston College, Creighton University, Fairfield University, Fordham University, Georgetown University, Marquette University, Santa Clara University, the University of San Francisco and the University of Scranton.
Get ready. The distinction between male and female is considered a new form of "bigotry." After defacing the holy institution of marriage in the Obergefell vs. Hodges decision, the homosexual movement is now enforcing the "T" of its transgender acronym, which constantly evolves and expands. The latest version is LGBTTQQIAAP. Don't ask what they all mean. In sum, transgenderism aims to abolish male-female distinctions altogether, one bathroom at a time.
However, the decision to adopt trans-gender restrooms by Catholic universities is a direct slap in the face of our Creator, because God should be honored — not insulted — in these halls of higher learning. But when feckless administrators serve the world rather than God, the outcome is predictable. The truth is abandoned, the Faith is betrayed, biological reality based on sound science is even brushed aside and Catholic students are left to fend for themselves.
Why are Catholic universities pandering to this self-destructive agenda? Why aren't these same Catholic universities embracing their mission to proclaim the sublime truths of the Faith, highlighting the virtues of purity and chastity which are the remedy to the sexual revolution as well as a powerful safeguard to halt the breakdown of the family?
Gender Theory Goes Against God and His Church
The Catechism of the Catholic Church states unequivocally:
Man and woman have been created, which is to say, willed by God: on the one hand, in perfect equality as human persons; on the other, in their respective beings as man and woman. 'Being man' or 'being woman' is a reality which is good and willed by God … In their 'being-man' and 'being-woman,' they reflect the Creator's wisdom and goodness.
Furthermore, in his address to the Roman Curia in 2012, Pope Benedict XVI cautioned the Catholic world against the blatant evils of gender theory:
"The profound falsehood of this theory and of the anthropological revolution contained within it is obvious. People dispute the idea that they have a nature, given by their bodily identity, that serves as a defining element of the human being. They deny their nature and decide that it is not something previously given to them, but that they make it for themselves.
"According to the biblical creation account, being created by God as male and female pertains to the essence of the human creature. This duality is an essential aspect of what being human is all about, as ordained by God. This very duality as something previously given is what is now disputed. The words of the creation account: "male and female he created them" (Gen 1:27) no longer apply. … Man and woman in their created state as complementary versions of what it means to be human are disputed. But if there is no pre-ordained duality of man and woman in creation, then neither is the family any longer a reality established by creation."
Continues Benedict XVI: "… And it becomes clear that when God is denied, human dignity also disappears. Whoever defends God is defending man."1
In 2015, The Most Rev. Rudolf Voderholzer, Bishop of Regensburg, Germany stated that "the essence of man and woman is the potential to become a father and the potential to become a mother, respectively. These are not exchangeable roles, but rather gifts from the Creator, and, in the last instance, a calling." Gender theory, he declared, "is the repudiation of the order of creation."2
Medical Expert: Transgenderism is a "Mental Disorder"
Dr. Paul R. McHugh, Distinguished Service Professor of Psychiatry at Johns Hopkins University, affirmed in The Wall Street Journal that transgenderism is a "mental disorder" that warrants real treatment and that sex changes, from a medical standpoint, are "biologically impossible."
Dr. McHugh's analysis of scientific evidence lead him to stop allowing sex-reassignment surgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital already in the 1970s, when he was psychiatrist-in-chief of the prestigious institution.
"Transgendered men do not become women, nor do transgendered women become men. All (including Bruce Jenner) become feminized men or masculinized women, counterfeits or impersonators of the sex with which they 'identify,'" wrote Dr. McHugh.
"The idea that one's sex is fluid and a matter open to choice runs unquestioned through our culture and is reflected everywhere in the media, the theater, the classroom, and in many medical clinics. It has taken on cult-like features… It is doing much damage to families, adolescents, and children and should be confronted as an opinion without biological foundation wherever it emerges," Dr. McHugh stated.3
Oppose the 'Jennerization' of Catholic Campuses
"The decision to mainstream the homosexual agenda on some Catholic campuses offends God and constitutes a grave scandal," said TFP Student Action Director, John Ritchie.
"If we recall Our Lord's sacred words, scandal is no light matter. 'Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea'" (Matt 18:6).
"TFP Student Action invites its members and web site readers to peacefully voice their firm opposition against what can be called the 'Jennerization' of Catholic higher education," Ritchie continued. "Those who remain faithful must rally around the eternal and unchanging truth, hold fast to the traditional Magisterium of Holy Mother Church and renew their unshakable confidence in Our Lord's promise: The gates of Hell will never, never prevail!"

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I want to make sure that I am clear on this question. You were adopted by one man and he has died. Did the second man adopt you after the first man died or before? If you were the legal child of the first man at the time of his death, you would be entitled to some of his estate. If you had already been adopted by the second man, the answer would be no.
This information is provided as a public service to provide a general answer and should not be relied upon as legal advice.Ask a similar question
His only living relative is his sister who wants nothing to do with it. The people he was staying with are trying to seize his property money vehicles etc.
When a person dies without a will, their probate property would pass to the surviving spouse, if any and children. However, I would agree with my colleague. If you were adopted before your biological father died, you do not have a right to inherit from your biological father as the adoption would cut off your right of inheritance. You would be considered as the child of your adoptive father and could inherit from the adoptive father but not your biological father unless he made a will, which you say he did not do. If you were adopted after your biological father died, then you do have a right to inherit from both your biological and adoptive fathers. So its important to get the order of the dates of death and adoption correct.
You indicate that your biological father died. When did he die and where did he live at the time of his death? Was your biological father married, i.e., did he have a wife who was alive at the time of his death? Were there any other children of your father? What assets did your biological father own, if you know?
Assuming that you would be entitled to share in any probate estate, you need to contact the probate court in the county/state where your biological father lived at the time of his death. Contact the court at least 30 days or more after death as it may be too soon for an estate to have been opened prior to that. While there is no will, any administrator (like a wife or other child) will file for letters of administration and a preliminary inventory of assets (possibiy). Some states also require any heirs to be given notice, but it would depend on when you were adopted. I would make a copy of any documents in the file and consult a probate attorney who practices in the county where the estate would be pending to see whether you can inherit and what you might get.
If no estate was probated, it can mean a number of things - (1) that there are no probate assets justifying probate; or (2) the family/next of kin do not realize that they should probate an estate. If more than 6 months have elapsed since your biological father's death and there is no probate, then anyone can seek to do so and maybe you would wish to undertake that responsibility if you would be entitled to a share of any assets.Ask a similar question

Heavy O2O Spending Could Depress Alibaba Stock
- Alibaba has recently announced that it will invest $1.25B in Ele.me, an O2O business, in what is to become its largest O2O investment.
- Alibaba is becoming aggressive with O2O, a business that has been responsible for decimating Baidu's bottom line.
- What does this mean for Alibaba stock's future performance?
Shares of leading Chinese eCommerce giant Alibaba (NYSE:BABA) have remained depressed in 2015--down 20% YTD-- as the company's top line growth slowed down while the Chinese market debacle continued decimating Chinese stocks both at home and in the U.S. Investors have been disgruntled by Alibaba's top line growth which has now dropped to low-30% range from mid-40% a few years ago. During the last quarter, Alibaba posted revenue growth of 32% Y/Y to $3.42B while net income was up 36% to $1.43B.
Source: Alibaba Stock Price Data by amigobulls.com
It was Alibaba's Gross Merchandise Volume, however, that caught the attention of the investing world. Alibaba's GMV increased 28% to $17.26B, considerably slower than top line growth. GMV is an important growth metric for ecommerce companies such as Alibaba, and a slowdown in GMV is frequently taken as an indication that the popularity of an ecommerce platform is eroding.
It therefore hardly comes as a surprise that Alibaba is taking concerted steps to accelerate its GMV growth through online-to-offline, or O2O, ventures. O2O is shorthand for the business of marrying traditional brick-and-mortar experiences with modern ecommerce. Through O2O, Chinese companies such as Alibaba and Baidu (NASDAQ:BIDU) find ways to lure brick-and-mortar customers to spend money on online stores. O2O employs the Internet and mobile to make buying stuff in online stores efficient, convenient, and even fun.
Now the O2O business is growing very rapidly in China, and companies such as Alibaba and Baidu have jumped at the opportunity. Alibaba has several O2O ventures including AliPay, its mobile payment platform, as well as partnerships with giant stores such as Suning and taxi app Didi Kuaidi. Alibaba usually does not divulge much about its O2O business. But Baidu usually lets investors in on sales numbers of its O2O ventures. During the last quarter, Baidu's O20 businesses recorded a GMV of $9.5B, a robust 119% growth. Baidu's O2O ventures include Qunar, Baidu Takeout Delivery, and Baidu Nuomi. So this is a really fast-growth area.
Alibaba has been gradually expanding its O2O footprint. Earlier this year, the Alibaba announced that it was jointly investing $483M with Ant Financial for a 50% stake in Koubei.com, an O2O venture meant to enhance local dining and shopping experiences. But Alibaba's growing intent in O2O became even more apparent when it announced about a few days ago that it had agreed to invest $1.25B for a 27.7% stake in online food delivery service Ele.me, which roughly translates to ''Hungry ,Now?'' in Mandarin.
Now the big problem with O2O ventures is that companies are not making any money yet from this new business model. Although Alibaba does not talk much about its O2O ventures, comments by Baidu during its last earnings call shed some useful light into what's going on behind the scenes:
They're all growing very, very fast and together with our peers and competitors, we are educating the Chinese consumers the better way to order services. So eventually, we will be able to take a cut, a sizeable cut from that, but whether that's three-year or five-year, it's really hard to tell at this point.
In plain terms, Baidu was saying that it was making no money from O2O despite handling a large amount of business on its platform, and did not expect to do so over the next 3-5 years. It appears as if the company is more interested in building a loyal O2O userbase first before starting to take commissions from the service. Although we do not yet have much information about how Alibaba's O2O business works, there is a strong possibility that it's pretty similar to Baidu's, which implies that BABA might not be making any money from it.
Baidu is well ahead of Alibaba as far as O2O investments go. Unfortunately the company's heavy O2O investments have been badly depressing Baidu's margins and have led to poor stock performance over the last two years. The Ele.me venture will become Alibaba's largest O2O investment to-date. Whereas it might provide a nice boost to Alibaba's GMV, it's likely to have just the opposite effect on the company's bottom line and Alibaba stock price.
Alibaba seems to increasingly be moving in the direction of O2O. The problem is that this is mostly a future investment with little if any payoff expected over the short-term. Heavy O2O investments have led to a sharp drop in Baidu's bottom line growth. The same could happen to Alibaba as it starts becoming aggressive with this new business model. If this happens, you can expect Alibaba stock to stay depressed over the near-term and medium-term.
