Description: It was to celebrate the opening of the Roman Colosseum in AD 80 that Martial published his first book of poems, "On the Spectacles." Written with satiric wit and a talent for the memorable phrase, the poems in this collection record the broad spectacle of shows in the new arena. The great Latin epigrammist's twelve subsequent books capture the spirit of Roman life-both public and private-in vivid detail. Fortune hunters and busybodies, orators and lawyers, schoolmasters and street hawkers, jugglers and acrobats, doctors and plagiarists, beautiful slaves, and generous hosts are among the diverse characters who populate his verses. Martial is a keen and sharp-tongued observer of Roman society. His pen brings into crisp relief a wide variety of scenes and events: the theater and public games, life in the countryside, a rich debauchee's banquet, lions in the amphitheater, the eruption of Vesuvius. The epigrams are sometimes obscene, in the tradition of the genre, sometimes warmly affectionate or amusing, and always pointed. Like his contemporary Statius, though, Martial shamelessly flatters his patron Domitian, one of Rome's worst-reputed emperors. D. R. Shackleton Bailey now gives us, in three volumes, a reliable modern translation of Martial's often difficult Latin, eliminating many misunderstandings in previous versions. The text is mainly that of his highly praised Teubner edition of 1990.

"The past fascinates me obsessively, I suppose, because it's such a strange phenomenon," he said. "The past was the present at some point, and it was just as boring as the present. What makes it so important? What gives it that luminous, exalted quality where it becomes the past? When does the past become 'the past'? Is yesterday 'the past'? Is last week 'the past'? How far do you have to go until the past becomes 'the past'? These are things I've never found an answer to, and that's why they fascinate me."

A mother and daughter from Ontario, have been identified as the Canadian tourists killed in Atlantic City this week.
Po Lin Wan, 80, and Alice Mei See Leung, 47, were fatally stabbed with a 12-inch butcher knife as they walked down Pacific Avenue near Michigan at about 10 Monday morning.
Antoinette Pelzer, 44, of Philadelphia, is accused of attacking Leung in her upper body, then striking Wan in the lower body, hand and shoulder as she tried to help her daughter. She bled to death.
While on the ground, Pelzer allegedly tried to grab Leung's purse off her shoulder. When she wouldn't let go, the attacker stabbed her some more, according to the complaint read in court Tuesday. Leung was stabbed in her upper body and died of multiple sharp-force injuries, with a puncture to her heart, an autopsy showed.
At the time of the attack, an Atlantic City Police Officer Jacob Abbruscato was patrolling the area and intervened within 13 seconds, Atlantic County Prosecutor Ted Housel said.
He was able to get Pelzer to drop the knife, and take Pelzer into custody.
The women were rushed to AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center — a half-block from the attack — where they were pronounced dead that afternoon.
Pelzer is charged with two counts of murder, unlawful possession of a
weapon, possession of a weapon for unlawful purpose and robbery.
Superior Court Judge Michael Donio set her bail at $1.5 million full cash.
Pelzer — who family members have described as schizophrenic and homeless — indicated she would apply for a public defender. No one has been assigned the case yet.

- Return to Labyrinth of Touhou: Dungeon Guide
20F: The Labyrinth of Touhou
- This is it - the home stretch!
- Well, maybe not; if you enter this floor at the first opportunity you get (immediately after reaching 19F), you won't really be able to go anywhere due to a series of sealed glyphs right near the entrance (the main 20F floorspace is sealed by the 19F sigil guardians). Even so, if you're feeling brave (or foolish), you can still try your hand against the random battles...
- However, if you can stand it down here, the random battles are great opportunity for grinding - there's much more experience waiting for you. The best strategy is to set your party up as Yukari, Rinnosuke, any powerful nuker, and Flandre, in that order. Manipulate speed via equipment so Rinnosuke is the fastest and Yukari is the slowest. Have Rinnosuke use World Shaking Military Rule on his turn, the nukers attack (Flandre should use Starbow Break on first turn only) and Yukari use Yukari's Spiriting Away, then have everyone attack again (Flandre in the last slot is in perfect condition to use Lavetain, as it will not interupt anyone else's turn). This will almost surely kill anyone you meet on this floor, but unfortunately will require returning to Gensokyo immediately.
- On that note, the random battles are the only real difficulty in reaching the final boss: Looping down from the lower left to upper left to top center to reach the final Relay Point and the final boss is the only real difficulty on the floor, aside from a little treasure hunting.
- More of the 20th floor becomes accessible after defeating the final boss. See Labyrinth of Touhou: Postgame for details.
Notable Enemies
Every random battle on 20F is notable to a degree, since they're all difficult enough that they could be considered minibosses in their own right! You may want to bring Rinnosuke with your initial active party on this floor, to use World Shaking Military Rule on your first encounter. But only a few enemies deserve specific warning about.
- The Norns: ~320k HP. Each turn the Norns get, they attack with an elemental 'Wind' spell (Lightning Wind, Green Wind, etc), a status-effect attack that hits the whole party (Sealing Slash, Purple Paralysis Cloud, etc), then a single-target front-row attack that deals immense damage. The Norns have astronomically high SPD, so it is easy to get overrun, but only have 18 debuff resistance. They appear with 2 Truth-Seeing Eyes. Drops: Ribbon.
- Hellfire Demonsky: ~376k HP. Magical Hellfire deals damage to all, and can cause DTH, PAR, and/or SIL. Yes, that means it can kill or disable your entire party if you're unlucky. Have someone generally resistant around. Weak to SPI and CLD, very resistant to FIR, moderately resistant to other elements. Can also summon a lesser demon, which are Solar Demon Kings from 19F, so the same strategies apply against these foes as when you fought them before (You DO gain EXP or SP from defeating these after they are summoned, be aware of this) It can also Thousand-Armed Kannon a random party member for very good damage. Drops: Divine Spirit Barrier.
- Diamond Knight: ~240k HP. Scourge deals ~200,000 damage to the frontmost member; unless your level is ridiculously high, this will kill them. Since the knight is also pretty resilient, expect at least one casualty... if you stick around to fight. Drops: Scourge.
- Blue Comet SPT Ancient Soldier: ~332k HP. All of its attacks increase its speed by up to 200%, which can get you killed very quickly. But its defenses are poor, so take it out first. Weak to FIR. Drops: Karen device.
Although all of the enemies on the floor are effectively minibosses, they're not all immune to instant death. Exa Grain, Executioner, Blue Comet SPT Ancient Soldier, and Raijin's Expenditure all have a DTH resist of about 30, giving Yuyuko's Flawless Saigyouji Nirvana 12% chance of getting rid of them in one shot. Probably not something to be relied upon, though.
It is important to note that Diamond Knight, Executioner, Raijin's Expenditure, and Hellfire Demonsky are the only sources of their respective drops in the game. It is therefore necessary to defeat all of these enemies until obtaining their drops to obtain the items star needed to continue into the plus-disk content. Fortunately, the Special Disk increased the drop rates to 5% if you do not have the item, and 1.5% otherwise.
Maribel Han
|Level Recommendation
|Skill Points
| The final boss of the main storyline, Maribel is a test of everything you've learned up to this point - buff management, healing, choosing the appropriate characters for the situation. The final Relay Point is right in front of her position on the map, so there is no excuse for being unprepared.
The first thing you'll likely notice is that she's extremely slow, especially compared to previous bosses, and doesn't use any especially strong or dangerous attacks, so you shouldn't have any problems managing your team - at least, not for the first part of the battle: Maribel also calls upon three summons that must also be defeated in order to claim victory.
|Shredding Amnesier
|Aria-Singing Toruastory
|Staring Igmaruji
| For the most part, any party capable of defeating the first two Bloodstained Seal bosses should have absolutely no trouble getting to the phase where Maribel starts summoning her minions; from there, things start getting trickier.
She summons her first minion, Shredding Amnesier, once you cause 500,000 HP damage to her, the second, Aria-Singing Toruastory, at one million HP down, and the third, Staring Igmaruji, at 1.5 million down. Once she starts summoning her minions, neither she nor they can be removed from battle until all three are present. Once all three minions are out, Maribel's HP will reset to two million. Don't bother trying to kill her minions until then (though any debuffs or statuses you can inflict in the meantime, of course, will certainly help). Amnesier is a strong physical attacker with a variety of single- and row-target attacks, Toruastory is a magic attacker with an array of spells you're likely familiar with by now, and Igmaruji attacks weakly but almost all its spells can cause statuses or debuffs - PAR and SIL resistance are especially important to boost for this battle. Note that Amnesier is extremely weak to paralysis while Toruastory is extremely weak to debuffs. Igmaruji is unfortunately immune to both.
Once all three minions are summoned, Maribel and her minions will now all be killable, and the fight proper begins. Each minion has a powerful move that they will use every 15 (8 for Toruastory) turns after all three minions are out - Amnesier will use Scourge to deal about 150,000 damage to whoever's in front (and inflict a bunch of status including DTH if the target somehow survives); Toruastory will use Strengthen Jutsu to max out its MAG buff; Igmaruji will use Djinn Storm to zero the entire party's SP. In addition, the remaining minions gain extra speed as you defeat the others, and once only one minion is left, that minion gains a 15% chance of using its special attack on any given turn in addition.
Should you decide to destroy all three of her minions before finishing her off, Maribel will go into berserk mode: her speed jumps considerably higher, as well as doubling her DEF/MND, and she becomes entirely immune to all statii. She then uses her next turn to cast Overflowing Unnatural Power, which buffs her stats further and enables her to use her final arsenal of (a large variety) of moves against you. Unless your level is fairly high or you just want to challenge yourself, this is a highly dangerous phase that you DO NOT want to face.
The better survival tactic is to leave one minion alive, and defeat Maribel in the meantime, as a berserking Mari is a lot more dangerous than all her minions combined. The best way to execute this tactic is, you should kill Igmaruji first (as you cannot control it via status effects, and Djinn Storm is extremely crippling). Afterwards, kill another minion of your choice. (Toruastory is probably safer to keep around, since Strengthen Jutsu can be negated by Tenshi's Sword of Rapture, or repeated application of Discarder/Seeker Doll/Curse of Tsuki Iwakasa. However, if your team has sufficient PAR inflictors, you might consider keeping Amnesier: with a bit of effort, it's relatively easy to keep him in a constant state of paralysis, meaning you can actually keep him from taking even a single turn.) Then, start focusing your damage on Mari. Once she's down (there're no special tricks), take down the minion you left alive, and you will win the battle. Another tactic you might adopt is to keep both Amnesier and Toruastory alive, to avoid facing their special attacks, although this will likely slow your damage down, as you will need to expend additional effort to control the extra minion.
Once you defeat Maribel, you have officially beaten the main game of Labyrinth of Touhou. Congratulations!!
Bloody Papa
|Level Recommendation
|Skill Points
| The fourth Bloodstained Seal boss, Bloody Papa is a very dangerous enemy with high magic ability. First, note that he CANNOT BE HARMED BY MAGIC ATTACKS. Yep, you have to go through this fight with physical-based spells only. Not even Silent Selene or Master Spark can scratch him. However, he is very vulnerable to debuff spells. On his first turn, and every four turns afterwards, he uses Strengthen Jutsu, raising his MAG by 100%. Compounding his high damage is Djinn Storm, which can effectively shut you down if he casts it early. Try to get some defensive buffs up or throw a Narrow Confines of Avici at him before that happens. Like Hibachi before him, Bloody Papa has an extremely dangerous party MYS attack in Papa's Washing Machine, and unlike Hibachi he's free to use it whenever he wishes. He'll use it more frequently as his HP drops; again, get a tank with high MYS affinity to soak it. Ultimately he's not too different from Hibachi - survive the Washing Machines and take him down as fast as possible. He has very low resistance to debuffs, which can and should be abused, particularly to abate Strength Jutsu's efforts.
A second, riskier, strategy is to use Rinnosuke, Yukari and two very powerful physical nukers, such as Nitori, Yuugi or Flandre or else Kaguya and a physical nuker. Have your party order as Rinnosuke, Yukari, Weaker Attacker, Stronger Attacker Gear Rinnosuke and your attackers towards damage, while Yukari doesn't need any special equipment. Manipulate speed values using skill points so that Rinnosuke goes first, your attackers next, and Yukari last, but Yukari must be fast enough to get two turns in before Bloody Papa can attack on his second turn. Start off with World-Shaking Military Rule, and have your attackers unleash their strongest blows. Next, have Yukari use Spiriting Away, and have Rinnosuke switch her out, and your weaker attacker switch her in. Your stronger attacker should attack as usual. Rinnosuke and your weaker attacker should now get their turn, and they should attack. If Yukari gets a turn in, and your attackers are strong enough, congrats, you win. If not, game over.

The Shallows Part 2
I scored 1.67, or 92% correct, on the test with two distractions; I scored 100% on the test with six. As indicated on the results page, this is more or less where low multitaskers score, while high multitaskers score much lower when faced with a larger number of distractions. Since I would far and away consider myself a low multitasker, this seems reasonable. In fact, this makes my reluctance to multitask pleasantly justifiable in the face of the extreme pride those who grew up on my generation seems to find in being overstimulated.
As is apparent, I prefer not to multitask. I become easily frustrated with the feeling that only surface-level thinking is going on, and that I'm not comprehending either of the items at hand. While multitasking can be good for tasks that are muscle habit, such as eating or running while studying or listening to an audiobook, I find it near impossible for homework or interpersonal relationships; I wouldn't risk anything I consider important by multitasking while I'm working on it. I close out of Facebook when I'm writing a paper, and I close my computer altogether when I'm talking to a friend. Call me crazy, but I still prefer the physical versions of books, without hyperlinks and with the feeling of comprehension when I'm reading that is much harder for me to obtain online. That being said, the allure of multitasking is entirely understandable. I simply don't have the time I'd like, and sometimes it just seems like the better option. I think what's most important is knowing when it's appropriate to multitask (which could be different times for different people) and being aware of it when you're doing it, rather than assuming you're getting the full content of an article by reading the first three sentences.

At least 32 Lafayette Parish School System students in the third through eighth grades won't take Common Core-aligned tests that begin March 16.
Although the number is small, considering that 13,000 Lafayette Parish School System students are eligible to take the exams, it nevertheless signals a degree of parental concern over the tests.
The tests are designed to gauge students' skills in English language arts, writing and math. But some argue they won't benefit students or say they disagree with curriculum changes prompted by the implementation of Common Core State Standards.
The new standards create uniform benchmarks for student knowledge by grade level. Louisiana and 10 other states are part of a consortium — the Partnership for the Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers, or PARCC — that agreed to the common assessment to compare student achievement across states.
However, students in Louisiana will take assessments with PARCC-like questions written by a third party, raising another red flag for those opposed to the PARCC test who question whether it will offer an accurate comparison of student learning.
At least two students in St. Martin Parish are among those who won't take the tests later this month, St. Martin Parish Schools Superintendent and BESE member Lottie Bebee disclosed during a Thursday morning BESE committee meeting.
BESE members heard from opt out advocates Thursday in an hourslong discussion on the tests and the impact of the zero scores students who don't take the exam will produce for their school and school district.
The PARCC exam tests student learning in English language arts, writing and math. Students will take LEAP or iLEAP tests in science and social studies in April.
Some parents also have opted that their children not take the LEAP or iLEAP tests, as well, said Tom Spencer, the Lafayette school system's accountability director. He said he's still working with principals to clarify how many students have opted out of LEAP and iLEAP exams, but as of Thursday, 13 of the 32 students who opted out of the PARCC also weren't taking either of the other tests.
Pushback from parents, educators and lawmakers over tests like PARCC and other standardized tests isn't exclusive to Louisiana.
In January, a bill was introduced in Congress that sought to amend current federal education testing laws to test students less frequently while in third through eighth grades in English language arts and math. The intent is to reduce the frequency of the tests to allow more time for instruction and end the concept of "teaching to the test," the proposed legislation says.
The spring exams are scheduled once a year, though there are other assessments that students face throughout the year from kindergarten through 12th grade.
A breakdown of the tests given to students through the course of the school year and the purpose of the assessments will be discussed during a forum next week planned by the education advocacy group Power of Public Education Lafayette and the National Writing Project of Acadiana.
Lafayette Parish School System officials will be on hand during the forum, "What Tests Do Our Children Take: Understanding State and District Mandated Assessments" scheduled for 6 p.m. Wednesday at the Cecil Picard Center, 200 E. Devalcourt St.

WASHINGTON Dismissing a White House veto threat, the House voted Tuesday to end a pilot program giving Mexican trucks access to U.S. highways.
The Bush administration stressed that the United States is obligated, under the 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement, to open up American roads to Mexican truckers, and that terminating the year-old demonstration project would have repercussions for American trucks allowed into Mexico. Passage of the House bill, it said "would pose significant and immediate risks to U.S. interests."
But the pilot project, which permits up to 500 trucks from 100 Mexican companies access to U.S. roads, is opposed by trucking, consumer and environmental groups who say it would eliminate American jobs and that Mexican trucks are subject to less stringent safety regulations. They say Mexico lacks adequate drug testing and hours-of service standards and that the program could contribute to smuggling or insurance fraud.
"I'm outraged that the Bush administration for political purposes would jeopardize the safety of the traveling public in the United States," said Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Ore., chairman of the House Transportation subcommittee on highways.
The 395-18 House vote was well above the two-thirds needed to override a presidential veto. The bill would end the authority of the administration to go forward with the program without congressional approval. The Senate Appropriations Committee has attached similar language to a transportation spending bill, although that bill is unlikely to be enacted before President Bush leaves office.
Congress last December passed legislation banning funding to "establish" a program to allow U.S.-certified Mexican trucks to carry loads across the border, but the Transportation Department said that bill did not apply to a program that had already started. Several groups, including the Teamsters, Sierra Club and Public Citizen, have gone to federal court to challenge that interpretation.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, on the other hand, sent House members a letter urging opposition to the bill, saying the cross-border program "is a long overdue step toward reducing congestion and air pollution at the U.S.-Mexico border while promoting growth and jobs."
The administration last month said it intended to continue the pilot program for two more years.
The bill is H.R. 6630.

Paris is definitely on top of the list of 'popular' tourist destinations in the world. Perhaps this is the reason getting there and finding a place to stay is never a problem. Many international airlines have made it a hub or stopover for their flights because that seems to be where the traffic really is.
Paris is really a great place to start a tour or just break your travel for a rest and some great sight-seeing, not to mention unforgettable culinary delicacies for everyone knows the French are the best chefs in the world!
You can hope to get a great bargain on hotel bookings and travel fare from the airlines and don't get put off if the guy begins speaking in French when you ask for a discount. Its prudent to stick to speaking in English and not trying out your schoolroom French, which could further sink your deal. If he does not give you a good deal, someone else will and he knows it!
Finding your way around Paris
Do not feel lost if you cannot find your way to a location in Paris. The whole of Paris is divided into neighbourhoods called 'arrondissements' – wait a minute, that sounded English, didn't it? Well, it is, but the name stands. These arrondissements begin at the centre of the city and spiral outward, round and round …get the general idea? So, if you are lost, you can just cut across a side lane and you know you are bound to get to the outskirts of Paris. Until, of course, you come to the river Seine.
This is another dividing factor for the city. The Seine divides Paris into two parts: the Left Bank and the Right Bank. Pretty silly, I thought, because if I turned and faced the other way the Left bank became the Right bank to me and vice versa. But they named it that, so that is what I call it – the right and left banks!
Never fear when it comes to the transportation in Paris. They have one of the best transportation systems in the world. They have their metro system and buses. The taxi drivers are pretty friendly too, however, every now and then, they seem to break out in French when they can't answer a question – friendly French all the same. In Paris, you also have a choice of renting a car if you have a valid international driving license. Their transport system is so good that they even offer you a 2 and a half hour train ride to London! Yes the underwater tunnel across the channel (perhaps that is why they called it the "Chunnel") may have cost a whopping 60 billion dollars but it does allow us to have a stopover in London on our trip to Paris.
Where to Stay When in Paris
Lodging in Paris is never a problem. What with the surge of tourists every single day, almost everyone's thought of going into the hotel business, or so it seems by the number of hotels in the city.
You need to go through your sightseeing map of places you'd like to cover while in Paris and likewise decide which visits can be clubbed together depending on their proximity to each other before figuring out which arrondissement affords you easy access from the hotel suiting your budget and services requirement. Finding a reasonably priced hotel in the arrondissement is quickly and conveniently possible over the net, or even in a cyber café in Paris if you haven't had a chance earlier and this was an impulse trip!
And remember, if the hotel concierge constantly chooses to break out in French you have a good chance of clinching a bargain because you'll find a great many hotel booking clerks blushing when they tell a tourist the price of a room! Get the point?
Sightseeing – Paris
Once you are in Paris you will definitely want to see the top 6 attractions of the city (and perhaps even of the world) and also the local beauties. But beware of their French boyfriends who seem to follow them all over the place. One would wonder what they do for a living!
The first on your must-visit list of tourist interest places in Paris is anyone's guess: yes, it's the place where Tom Cruise is believed to have popped the question to Katie Holmes, the most romantic emblem of France – the Eiffel Tower! It attracts over 23 and a half million visitors annually – that's 23,500,000 not half a million and 23 visitors, making it the world's biggest crowd-puller of all times even as it has this bemusing rule of the higher you go, the more you pay (for accessing the 3 levels the Eiffel Tower is divided into!)
Yet another Parisian sight to cover is Louvre Museum – and perhaps get even ponder over the mystique of the most bewitching smile (is it, isn't it?) in the world because you get to glimpse the Mona Lisa? Remember, it's stashed away here?
So, make it a point to have a look at the lady with the mystic smile before you hop across to the Center Pompidou, another Gay Paree attraction that draws over 5 million visitors every year to watch the plays, concerts, and huge collection of modern art on display there.
Beyond the scope of these highlights in Paris, for the curious mind, there is the call of The Cite des Sciences at de l'Industrie (one more museum), Musee d'Orsay (another museum), and the Arc de Triomphe from where you can get a bird's eye view of Paris.
The Church dedicated to Our Lady or 'Notre Dame,' boasts most of the other high points of sightseeing in Paris, like the Latin Quarter, and Montmartre – the city's highest point.
No doubt that Paris is one of the most visited cities of the world but it is also an ideal place for a romantic getaway, especially a honeymoon, or an anniversary celebration. You think of a reason to visit Paris the first time, they say – thereafter, you only look for excuses not to leave!
That's in part because of the lure of the antiquated street shopping opportunities vying with luxe designer boutiques aplenty on the more fashionable avenues in Paris, the charm of corner cafes where you can't resist the crème Brule, wine, French bread or cheese invites nor the artsy and inventive cajoling by street painters offering caricatures besides the many dance clubs, wine bars and lots more to steal your heart!

Alan Johnson told Labour's spring conference in Birmingham that the days of a "one-size-fits-all" NHS are over and people should have more choice.
He repeated his pledge for GPs to open at weekends and evenings.
And he said extended opening hours are not just useful for commuters and hard-pressed City "hot shots", but for hourly-paid manual workers as well.
Mr Johnson said: "The days of patients being the passive recipients of one-size-fits-all service are over."
While pointing to "dramatic reductions" in deaths from cancer and heart disease, he said the NHS faced new challenges, such as obesity, growing mental health problems and an ageing population.
The government and doctors' union, the British Medical Association, have been at loggerheads over the plans for extended surgery opening hours.
Mr Johnson urged GPs to accept the deal, which will see an average-sized practice with 6,000 patients open an extra three hours a week.
Mr Johnson told delegates: "I hope that GPs will agree to provide extra appointments at weekends or evenings. This is not just for the benefit of commuters who struggle to see their doctor.
"When surgeries in Canary Wharf opened early in the morning their first patients were not City hot shots, but hourly-paid manual workers who lost money, or worse their jobs, if they didn't go to work."
Mr Johnson also said plans would be unveiled to let elderly married couples live together in residential care.
"When a couple have lived all their lives together they should not be forced apart at the end of their lives," he said.
Mr Johnson added: "This will be part of our increasing focus on adult social care."
Carer changes
Labour has made reform of public services the key theme of its spring conference, with Schools Secretary Ed Balls pledging to speed up Labour's academy schools programme, which has proved controversial with local education authorities.
Women's minister Harriet Harman has also outlined plans to allow people caring for elderly relatives to go out to work without losing benefits.
Ms Harman told BBC One's Andrew Marr programme the changes would mean people "who care for elderly relatives don't have to throw in their jobs".
In her conference speech she pledged more support for families where "mum is looking after granny as well as looking after the kids".
She added: "We weren't afraid of being called the nanny state and we won't be afraid of being called the granny state either"
Carers are currently entitled to an allowance of £48 a week - but only if they earn no more than £95 a week. If they earn more they lose the right to an allowance.

Mosquitoes are not only irritating with their continuous noisy buzz, they may also cause painful bites and itchiness. Worse still, mosquito bites may cause Malaria, Dengue Fever, Zika or The West Nile Fever. Using a mosquito repellent helps to keep mosquitoes off of you, whether you are indoors, outdoors, during the day, or at night. If you intend on being out during summer, you will definitely need a mosquito repellent to ward off these blood thirsty insects.
What Attracts Mosquitoes
Mosquitoes are attracted to humans by the emitted carbon dioxide, lactic acid, body warmth and body odors. Female mosquitoes are notorious for sucking human blood. This is because they depend on human blood for the successful development of their eggs. As it sucks its blood, a mosquito will also release its saliva onto us. When you use a mosquito repellent, the carbon dioxide, lactic acid and other body odors that attract mosquitoes are disguised or made repulsive to the mosquitoes.
Kinds of Repellent
A mosquito repellent will be sold in the form of an aerosol, cream, soap, lotion, grease or oil and it can be applied to body, clothing, bed nets and camping equipment. A point of caution for mosquito repellents that you apply on your skin is that you should always first apply on a small skin area to test for any reaction or sensitivity. After a few hours of no reaction, you may comfortably use it on the rest of your body.
Mosquito repellents contain either natural or chemical ingredients. The most common ingredients are DEET and Picaridin. DEET is applied onto skin and is available in liquid, spray and lotion form and is the most effective mosquito repellent. DEET was first formulated in 1946 for use by the U.S. Army. It has since been used successful for repelling mosquitoes. According to EPA, short term exposure to DEET is not harmful to humans. Picaridin is as effective as DEET but most people prefer it to DEET as they consider it to be less harsh. Permethrin is another ingredient that is very effective when used on clothes, shoes and camping gear.
Allethrin is used in mosquito repellents to treat outdoor areas that are prone to mosquitoes. This product vaporizes when heated and that is why it is used in mosquito coils, candles and lanterns. Before using any mosquito repellent on your skin, clothing or surroundings, ensure that you read the labels to understand what the active and inactive ingredients are.
All mosquito repellents must have an EPA registration number to ensure that they are safe for humans and the environment. If is of utmost importance to check the concentration of the active ingredient in the mosquito repellent that you choose. It should not be too high but should be a good percentage to ensure effectiveness.
DEET Spray
Due to concerns about chemical mosquito repellents, many people are opting to go for the natural ones. These are extracted from plants like lemongrass, citronella, eucalyptus, rosemary, myrtle, cedar, menthol, lemon, castor, cinnamon, rose geranium, calendula, lavender, melaleuca, and peppermint. These extracts are used in soaps, creams, candles, and lotions. The products made from these natural extracts are very mild; they can be used as your everyday body care products. Avon skin-so-soft bath oil is commonly used as effective deterrent for biting insects.
Take note that the mosquito repellent may lose its effectiveness because of:
1. Too much sunscreen in it
2. Dilution from rain and swimming
3. Excess body perspiration
4. Evaporation caused by high temperatures and wind

Beware of Cougar Crossing. It's a local legend and one of the busiest post-slope scenes in town.
Eric's Bar offers an eclectic pub-style environment of well-teased blondes strutting their sexiest one-piece ski ensembles for middle-age men looking to land their next trophy wife. More upscale than you'd prefer in clunky snowboard boots, J-Bar at the Hotel Jerome is one of Aspen's favorite and most historic watering holes. A saloon-style bar, it offers a gentlemanly environment for throwing back shots of whiskey and other manly malts preferred by regulars like Jack Nicholson. Nobu Matsuhisa just because you happen to have one back in L.A. or New York. The Aspen restaurant features a sleek Main Street dining room that books up a month in advance during high season, but also the Upstairs at Nobu that's always on a first-come first-served basis. It helps fill seats when Jennifer Aniston is spotted by candlelight at the village dining hotspot D19 . The small bistro-style restaurant is currently the hardest reservation to snag in town and requires a two-month advance booking during the winter season. An Aspen institution of steak feasts and midnight tango, Jimmy's boasts a rare combination of cozy village steakhouse and nightlife inferno. The more mature crowd hits the dance floor around 10:30 p.m. for weekly Latin and traditional dance nights.

Vernet's in Dieppe was a favourite cafe frequented by artists including Sickert and Edgar Degas (1834-1917). Sickert trained at the Slade School of Fine Art and was apprenticed to James McNeill Whistler (1834-1903), through whom he met Degas. Degas encouraged Sickert to extend the range of his subject matter. In 1887 he began to paint the interiors of London music halls, by 1889 he was able to achieve the complex construction of Little Dot Hetherington at the Old Bedford in which the stage is seen as a reflection in a great glass mirror just as in the present drawing of Vernet's cafe which probably dates from around 1920 and can be related to other works of Vernet's cafe from this date.

Federal regulators close small Florida bank, bringing to 23 the number of 2012 U.S. bank failures
May 7, 2012
(Associated Press)
– Federal regulators have closed down a small bank in Florida, bringing to 23 the number of U.S. banks that have failed so far this year.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. said Friday that it shuttered Security Bank NA in North Lauderdale.
The bank had about $101 million in assets and $99.1 million in deposits as of March 31.
Banesco USA, based in Coral Gables, Fla., agreed to take over the assets and deposits of the failed bank, which had three branches.
The FDIC estimates that Security Bank's failure will cost the insurance fund $10.8 million.
Security Bank is the third FDIC-insured institution to fail this year in Florida.
The pace of bank closures has slowed sharply after ballooning following the financial crisis in 2008. By this time last year, 39 banks had failed.
In 2010, regulators seized 157 banks, the most in any year since the savings and loan crisis more than two decades ago. The 2010 failures cost the fund around $23 billion. The FDIC has said that year likely was the high-water mark for bank failures from the Great Recession.
From 2008 through 2010, bank failures cost the fund an estimated $79 billion. Last year, 92 banks failed, costing the fund about $7.9 billion. The FDIC expects failures from 2011 through 2015 to cost $19 billion.

I often find beautiful crafts projects made by talented creators that I want to try myself. Today I'll show you one of those projects. Amazing Melissa on the blog Mama Miss has a post on how she rolls wooden beads in paint. The result is amazing and we just had to try it. Visit her post, but first – check out our result.
Freja and I are experts at collecting good "craft materials". We save everything! And we are in constant need of smart storage. Today we're prepping a pegboard – the Crafty Swedes way.
You need a pegboard and a frame work. Check out Helena's post, she has a tutorial of how she built hers. Helena also made her own clever hooks, she has tips on shelves for pegboards and other clever sulotions. Paying her blog a visit is always a pleasure. The things we've used for our pegboard is mainly stuff we had at home. You may not have exactly the same things in your home, but we hope we can inspire you to take a look around your house.
We knew from the beginning we wanted to hang cards and pictures on our pegboard. Foldback clips decorated with pieces of tape does the trick. We attach the clips to the pegboard with ribbons tied at the back.
In an box of used toys we found a bunch of letters in plastic. The plastic tabs on the letters fits exactly into the holes of the board. Lucky us!
Hooks for pegboard can be sometimes found in hardware stores. Or you can make your own. We use plastic beads and small screws to make our. Recognize any of the things we have hanging on our new hooks? The honeycomb characters can be found here, the doll face necklace here and the melted bead bracelet here.
It's nice to be able to reuse some of the crafts we made on the blog over the years. These cardboard shelves come in handy here. A tutorial of how to make the shelfs can be found here. We attach them with contact glue directly on the board. The wine cork bunnies from Easter fits perfectly on a shelf. Another way to display cards and pictures is by using elastic bands. We use a big needle to thread the elastic band in lengths through the holes. If you want to make a bat peg, you'll find it here.
We are often asked if we have a craft room. The answer is both yes and no. We have a craft storage space, but we use kitchen table for crafting. The storage room is an old walk-in closet and it holds, barely, a bunch of narrow cupboard and the tiniest sofa. When we need to get material out we enter the room one at the time. The pegboard fits perfectly and is quickly filled up with things. What do you think?

Chance to check up on Council's progress
The Birmingham Independent Improvement Panel, appointed by the government to monitor Birmingham City Council's improvement programme, has announced plans for its fourth public meeting. The meeting will be held at 12 noon on Thursday March 10th in the Council Chamber.
Fifteen months after the publication of the Kerslake Review the meeting will offer an opportunity for residents to hear from the Council's leaders about the progress made in implementing the Review's recommendations. Those attending the meeting will
also have the chance to question the Leader and Deputy Leader of the Council, the Chief Executive and the two opposition leaders.
Commenting on the public meeting the Panel's Chair, John Crabtree, said: "After fifteen months residents, businesses and partner organisations in the city will expect to hear that significant progress has been made by the Council. This meeting
provides an opportunity to both hear from and question the Council's leaders and I hope many people will want to take part. For those who cannot attend on the day, there will be the opportunity to watch the meeting via webcast either at the time or later on."
Members of the public can attend the meeting in person or watch a webcast of the meeting on the Council's website http://www.birmingham.public-i.tv/core/portal/home
To book to attend on the day residents can book via Eventbrite https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/birmingham-independent-improvement-panel-10-march-2016-registration-21450795908?aff=BCCwebsite
Following the meeting the Panel will review the Council's progress and submit a further report to Rt Hon Greg Clark, the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government by the end of March.
For further information please contact Louise Wright, PA to John Crabtree Mobile 07828 078 227.
In December 2014 Lord Kerslake published The way forward: an independent review of the governance and organisational capabilities of Birmingham City Council. Sir Albert Bore, the then Leader of Birmingham City Council and the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government had asked Lord Kerslake to conduct the independent review.
Alongside the recommendations in the Kerslake report relating to action Birmingham City Council should take, Lord Kerslake recommended that the Secretary of State appoint an independent improvement Panel to work with the Council to provide robust challenge and support.
The Improvement Panel was set up in January 2015. Its members are John Crabtree OBE (chair), Frances Done CBE (vice chair), Cllr Keith Wakefield (former leader of Leeds City Council), and Steve Robinson (chief executive of Cheshire West and Chester Council). Sir Mike Tomlinson, Education Commissioner and Andrew Christie, Children's Social Care Commissioner are ex-officio members.

Still need another niche to help protect your business from competition, both local and overseas? If your company's skill set is large, then maybe you should think small, as in very tiny components.
Micro components are not new in the world of manufacturing, but interest in microtechnology is growing. This was evident from the many exhibitors at the PDx/Amerimold trade show in May touting their micromolding capabilities. The evolution of computers, cell phones, and other gadgets, with their need for smaller plastic parts, has opened that world to injection molders and moldmakers.
An LED mold is cut on a Makino ultraprecision vertical machining center.
Micro- and even nano-sized components are taking center stage in manufacturing, but there's a huge difference between the two. As Mark Kinder, president of Plastic Design Corp. (PDC) in Scottsdale, AZ, noted, "With nano you're looking at things you can't see except with a high-powered electron microscope, but micro parts you can see and measure." Kinder, with Makino's John Bradford, presented a session on "Machining for Micro Molds" during a seminar at Makino's technical facility in Mason, OH, opened to customers and potential customers who, like MPW, were in town to attend the PDx/Amerimold trade show.
PDC has four micromolding machines—three Sumitomos and one Fanuc Roboshot—with clamp tonnage of 6, 7, and 18 for implantable medical devices. In addition, PDC uses a 100-ton Roboshot for molding microfluidic test plates. These plates are used in diagnostics laboratory testing, and while the plates are about 3 by 5 inches, each plate has many micro features cut into it (Kinder calls this "micro on macro") that demand exacting molding performance in PDC's Class 8 cleanroom. "Any bio burden on the plate itself can really muck up a test," Kinder said, noting that during the H1N1 virus outbreak a year ago, PDC "went nuts" making enough plates to meet the demand for patient testing.
Forget the data sheet
One downside to molding micro parts is the "mechanical properties go to hell in a handbasket," said Kinder. "Below 0.020-inch wall section, you lose tensile strength. Heat transfer is a problem, too."
He explained that because you have so few molecular chains of plastic going into the mold, the plastic behaves differently from when you have a lot of plastic going into the mold. Additionally, when molding micro parts, "You're slipping the skin and pushing it through the mold. Below ½ mm [500 µm], you can't keep the core melt going." As a result of these challenges, PDC always characterizes the plastic before it builds a mold.
If molding is different, so is building a mold for these micro parts. Kinder presented a micro mold construction case history at the Makino seminar. PDC has four Makino machines, two V22s, an Edge 2 Sinker, and a small-wire EDM (U32j) that runs wire in 0.002-, 0.004-, and 0.008-inch diameter.
John Bradford, micromachining R&D manager for Makino, said, "When you get to a feature size below 8 µm, you need ultraprecision machine tools." The key to machining molds for micromolding, he said, is to control the

Petrified plants are waiting to be found at the Florissant Fossil Quarry; they're in between layers of "paper" shale. For $20, you can pick up a crate -- approximately forty pounds -- of the fossiliferous shale that must be split and examined on site. Visitors can also search piles of shale at an hourly rate of $7.50 for adults and $5 for children seventeen and younger. Any unusually rare or scientifically valuable finds must either remain with the Clare family, who have owned the site for four generations, or be donated to a museum of the finder's choice. Nature's Wealth is the on-site fossil shop that has a collection of insect and plant fossils for sale, as well as jewelry, mineral samples and children's fossil-collecting kits. The quarry is next to the Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument, but don't even think about taking anything home from there.
It's no easy task to buoy up the spirits of fans whose on-floor heroes are always getting their butts handed to them. But Rocky the Mountain Lion does it every night -- with astonishing acrobatics, the occasional no-look swish from half court (including one recently with a ball he boldly had Michael Jordan autograph) and a mischievous playfulness that captivates kids and grownups alike. Rocky's three-foot-long lightning-bolt tail is a triumph of the costumer's art, and even if every Nugget now on the roster goes the way of Dikembe Mutombo, the most entertaining pro-sports mascot in the country will endure: He made his debut way back on December 15, 1990, and hasn't lost a step since.
Who says white men can't jump? Not those wags on a University of Northern Colorado intramural basketball team who saw white folks jump all over their idea when the UNC hoopsters named themselves "The Fighting Whites" in protest of the mascot -- a big-beaked caricature of an Indian -- used by nearby Eaton High School's "Fightin' Reds." The Whites' copyright T-shirt designs, including a white male dressed in a suit, soon became red, er, white hot, with orders pouring in to their Web site. Charles Cuny, a Native American, hadn't planned on making a statement when he assembled the multi-racial team. "I just wanted to play basketball on Tuesdays," he explained. White on!
He's got a squirt gun, a knack for doing handstands, and an attitude, and that makes the Colorado Springs Sky Sox mascot, Sox the Fox, now entering his third year, the best minor-league mascot around. In fact, aside from Rocky (whose creator trained one of the two men who don the foxy costume), Sox is the most entertaining mascot in the state. "We love that guy," says Gabe Ross, assistant general manager and public-relations director for the Sky Sox, a Colorado Rockies farm team. "Major-league teams are a little more handcuffed by public opinion, but wobbling around and patting kids on the head can get old pretty quick." Sox has been played by two people, University of Colorado at Colorado Springs student Phil Monday and former Sky Sox grounds-crew employee Chad White, and both will be back next year. Fox in Sox, indeed.
For a school whose students make most Ivy Leaguers look like dopes, the Colorado School of Mines takes a decidedly low-brow approach to its home football games. And even though the Mines eleven once thrashed the University of Colorado (a century ago) and went undefeated as recently as the late 1930s, nobody seems too ambitious on fall Saturdays in Golden. But Mines surprised fans this year, winning more than losing, and normally blasé students had something to kick about. Even though the school's jackass mascot was retired years ago, school spirit's made a comeback. Bray to go!
As if to prove that Santa is everywhere in December, Ocean Journey treated folks to daily underwater Santa shows featuring the jolly one, with beard and hair flowing wildly, flip-flapping his way around in the deep. But we were wondering: Now that the aquarium is treading water, will Santa sleep with the fishes?

One of the state of Arizona's most highly recruited prospects in recent years was 2013 Basha center Torren Jones, who signed with Missouri and ended up at Fresno State, where he's now a starter for the Bulldogs.
Torren has a little brother with a high upside in Tevian Jones, a 6-foot-4, 175-pound 2018 wing from Chandler (Ariz.).
While Torren was highly recruited early, Tevian has flown a bit under the radar being on the young side of his class, but he's grown a few inches over the last year and his athleticism, ability to hit shots, rebound and slash give him upside.
"I do a good job shooting and crashing the boards," Tevian said. "I'm working on my defense; I want to be quicker."
Tevian says that Boise State, BYU, Hawaii and Montana are showing him early interest.
"I want a school that is going to give me the best chance on and off the court with athletics and academics," he said.

METAL TILE PANEL ROOFING SOLVES TOWERING CHALLENGE FOR SAN DIEGO HIGH-RISE CONDOMINIUMWhen Dikeakos and Cotter Architects (Vancouver, BC) started planning Park Place, a new luxury condominium and town home development destined to be one of the most prominent buildings in San Diego, they created a design with a strong Mission flavor that reflects the local architectural tradition. A key exterior feature of the 30-story building is a steep-sloped tile roof that covers the upper tower portion of the building where mechanical equipment and service rooms are housed. The use of a metal "tile panel" roofing system manufactured by Met-Tile, Inc. (Ontario, Calif.) provided the desired Mission look while overcoming weight, installation and safety concerns.Revue Archive |

A DIVINE EXPANSION AND RENOVATION TURNS TO BENCHMARK ARCHITECTURAL SYSTEMS FOR A CONTEMPORARY REVELATIONThe First Presbyterian Church in Morehead City, North Carolina had a wake-up call recently. Their congregation had outgrown the original sanctuary building and they needed to expand their preschool and Sunday School programs, church offices and approximately half of the area needed to support those church programs. And so, a decision was made during a Master Planning Phase led by the original architectural team of Stephens & Francis, p.a. to build a new fellowship hall, able to accommodate 250 diners with necessary support space, renovate remaining structures, and expand existing offices, educational facilities and the music department.Revue Archive |

Happy ChristmasClose
For Parents
Common Sense Note
Parents need to know that Happy Christmas is an indie holiday dramedy with mature themes and family dysfunction that aren't likely appeal to young teens -- so while fans of Pitch Perfect star Anna Kendrick may be curious about the film, but it's clearly aimed at adults. There's drunkenness (as in passed-out drunk more than once) and marijuana use (one character is a part-time pot dealer), very frequent strong language ("f--k," "s--t," "a--hole," etc.), and a few sex scenes (although none shows nudity). The protagonist isn't an ideal role model, but at least her relationship with her older brother demonstrates the importance of having strong relationships with your siblings and family.
- Sexual Content
- Passionate kissing and a lovemaking scene between a married couple, plus a couple of more involved sex scenes between a couple that has just met. The woman gives the man instructions on how to please her (like pulling her hair in a certain way). They scenes are shot in an intimate close-up, but the people are partially clothed.
- Violence
- Jenny is slapped a couple of times while she's nearly passed out drunk. She's dragged and then carried out of a house party. Kelly slaps her in anger for almost setting the house on fire.
- Language
- Lots of casual swearing and strong language, especially "f--k" (as both a term for sex and an exclamation) and "a--hole," as well as "s--t" and "bitch."
- Social Behavior
- Jeff and Jenny's relationship shows how important it is for siblings to be there for one another, even if it's not convenient or easy. Family and unconditional love are needed to get through tough times.
- Consumerism
- Not frequent, just iPhone and a brief shot of a stack of board games like Trivial Pursuit, Sequence, etc.
- Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol
- Lots of adult drunkenness and use of drugs, particularly cocktails and marijuana. One character is both a part-time babysitter and a part-time pot dealer. A couple of adults are shown drinking recreationally, but the main character drinks so much that she basically passes out.
- Age appropriate
- Not an issue
- Depends on your kid and your family
- Not appropriate for kids of the age most likely to want to see it
