Corporate Governance - An Introduction
A company without corporate governance is like an aircraft without control or safety mechanisms. While the captain of an aircraft is responsible for a successful and safe flight, he is aided by numerous guidelines, safety standards and policies he must follow. It is not that it was not possible to fly airplanes before those guidelines and standards came into being, but in today's world aircrafts are unlikely to be allowed to fly if they don't comply.
Corporate governance is quite similar to this – some corporate governance standards are imposed by law – through the Companies Act, regulations and notifications issued by the Registrar of Companies, Ministry of Corporate Affairs and sectoral regulators. The rest of the governance process is developed within a company, by shareholders, directors and officers – so that a company can be operated and controlled in the interest of its shareholders without mismanagement, corporate sabotage, misuse of power, position or resources of the company, violation of law, misappropriation or even unintentional mistakes that can lead to compromise the interest of shareholders or the company in general.
This is why in case of listed companies, SEBI as well as stock exchanges impose very detailed and strict corporate governance norms. While private and unlisted public companies benefit from flexibility in corporate governance, they must develop their own norms. Failure to do so can lead to heavy costs for the company, all stakeholders such as shareholders and employees, anyone who enters into contracts with such a company as well as the general public. A flagrant example of this would be Satyam – which led to great loss of value of the company, untold losses for the shareholders and loss of jobs for many employees.
In a public company, especially in case of a listed one, focus on corporate governance is usually higher, due to legal requirements as well as for the reason that such companies are required to hire specialists and professionals responsible to ensure high level of corporate governance. Although questions have been raised in light of recent scams in major public companies such as Reebok, Satyam and most recently of DLF having advanced huge sums to Robert Vadra without any apparent legitimate reason – lack of corporate governance in smaller, often private companies (many being family controlled) is a significant reason for concern.
While mismanagement and failure of corporate governance in private companies rarely make headlines – it should be top in the priority list of founders, promoters, investors, acquirers and senior decision makers. Clear understanding of corporate governance factors and norms are equally necessary for entrepreneurs, managers who want to climb the corporate ladder as well as lawyers who advise them or negotiate deals and prepare investment, merger or acquisition agreements
Interests of the shareholders and the management do not always coincide. The management may want to create a reserve out of profits and use the same to expand the business while shareholders may want to take out the profit as dividend. The management may also be interested in extending loans to other companies in which they hold stakes – which may not be in interest of the company over all and may be at the cost of many other shareholders who do not have any interest in the company receiving the loan. The management may even take out money from the company in the form of huge compensation packages and corporate perks. While the shareholders collectively have the right to fire managers if they do not act in interest of shareholders, in reality, the management may be the majority shareholders.
For instance, Mark Zuckerberg holds 53% shares of Facebook. Given these circumstances, even if the rest of the shareholders are displeased with the way Zuckerberg is functioning, they cannot fire him as the CEO or director. He may also appoint all the directors, thus having pervasive control over the company. When the company is not making any profits, he may sanction extremely high salary and bonus for himself even if all the other shareholders of Facebook oppose him. In essence, he can take decisions to which even a single other shareholder does not give consent, and execute them (please treat this as a hypothetical situation. Also note that Facebook is a public company and corporate governance norms with respect to public companies in US and India significantly differ).
Hypothetically, if Zuckerberg decides that Facebook should donate half of its profit to the election campaign fund of Mitt Romney, the rest of the shareholders will not be able to stop him by default. In that case, what can be done to protect interests of the minority shareholders?
These issues have surfaced many times, especially in the US, in companies with much diffused shareholder base – where it was extremely difficult to mobilize enough number of shareholders simply due to sheer number and wide geographical distribution of the shareholders, even though there was no tyrannical majority. As a result, management of the company, who themselves did not have any significant shareholding, could take decisions which were very unpopular with large numbers of shareholders.
Similarly, minority investors in case of closely held companies, for instance family controlled companies, or companies in which the promoter group holds a clear majority of shares, must be careful to protect their interests.
Hence, one of the major concerns of corporate governance is protecting legitimate interests of shareholders, especially minority shareholders.
ii. Protection of employees and protection from employees
Business of a company must be carried out by employees. While directors, who may be employees themselves, make decisions, effective implementation of those decisions is another concern. Good corporate governance must address this issue as well. On the other hand, the management of the company should not direct employees in such a way that they would commit legal violations, or violate the legal rights of the employees themselves. While some of this may be addressed by labour laws of the country, good corporate governance can not omit this aspect as it must ensure compliance with the law in the first place.
iii. Protection of outsiders who enter into contracts with company and consumers
The internal management of the company has a lot of effect on the treatment of consumer as well as those who enters into contracts with the company. For instance, a mismanaged company may not be able to consistently adhere to safety standards which may put consumers at risk. Similarly, mismanagement and lack of governance may lead to undesirable contracts being entered into by representatives of the company or defaults on the obligations of the company under contracts it has entered into. These are some major concerns of corporate governance.
iv. Protection of public at largeCorporate governance should also ensure that activities of the company do not harm the public at large, for instance, through environmental degradation or by releasing poisonous gasses in the air.
Apart from protecting these interests, corporate governance also must strive to promote profitability, decisiveness and efficiency of the business organization processes.

THE CRIPPLE OF INISHMAAN, Starring Daniel Radcliffe, Enters Final Week on Broadway
The Michael Grandage Company production of The Cripple of Inishmaan, the Broadway premiere of a comedy by Martin McDonagh, starring Daniel Radcliffe and the critically acclaimed West End cast, directed by Tony Award-winner Michael Grandage, is now in its final week at the Cort Theatre (138 West 48th Street). The limited engagement, which opened on Sunday, April 20, must end on July 20.
In addition to Mr. Radcliffe, the production features Ingrid Craigie (Kate Osborne), Pádraic Delaney (Babbybobby), Sarah Greene (Helen McCormick), Gillian Hanna (Eileen Osborne), Conor MacNeill (Bartley McCormick), Aidan Redmond (Doctor), Pat Shortt (Johnnypateenmike) and June Watson (Mammy).
THE CRIPPLE OF INISHMAAN is produced on Broadway by Michael Grandage Company, Arielle Tepper Madover, L.T.D. Productions, Martin McCallum, Stephanie P. McClelland, Stacey Mindich, Starry Night Entertainment, and The Shubert Organization.
The production marks the Broadway premiere for Academy Award-winner Martin McDonagh's heralded play, and the first Broadway transfer from Michael Grandage Company, a London based production company set up by director, Michael Grandage and producer, James Bierman (both formerly of the Donmar) to produce work across all media. The Cripple of Inishmaan comes to Broadway following its sold out run last summer at the West End's Noel Coward Theatre, where it was part of an award-winning season of five plays produced by Michael Grandage Company.
Set on the remote island of Inishmaan off the west coast of Ireland, word arrives that a Hollywood film is being made on the neighboring island of Inishmore. The one person who wants to be in the film more than anybody is young Cripple Billy (Daniel Radcliffe), if only to break away from the bitter tedium of his daily life. Martin McDonagh's comic masterpiece examines an ordinary coming of age in extraordinary circumstances and confirms his position as one of the most original Irish voices to emerge in the second half of the twentieth century.
Daniel Radcliffe made his West End debut in 2007 and Broadway debut in 2008-2009 in Peter Shaffer's Equus. He returned to Broadway in 2011 for a 10-month sold out run in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. Since completing the final installment in the series of eight Harry Potter films in 2010, Radcliffe has continued to prove himself a diverse and acclaimed talent. He stars in Sony Pictures Classics', Kill Your Darlings, which, having premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, opened to rave reviews. He will next be seen starring opposite Zoe Kazan in CBS Films and eOne's romantic comedy, The F Word, as well as starring opposite Juno Temple in the horror-thriller Horns, which is based on Joe Hill's best-selling book. All three films were invited to screen at the recent Toronto International Film Festival. He is currently shooting Frankenstein with James McAvoy for Twentieth Century Fox. In 2012, Radcliffe starred in Hammer's The Woman in Black, which has since become the most successful British horror film of all time, in addition to its box office success in the US. Last summer, in addition to starring in The Cripple of Inishmaan in the West End, he filmed the second series of Sky Art's A Young Doctor's Notebook, again opposite Jon Hamm (broadcast on Ovation in the US).
Tickets are on sale through www.Telecharge.com. A limited number of $37 general rush tickets will be sold for each performance on the day of the show when the box office opens. Each guest in line is limited to two rush tickets per person. Payment by cash or credit card. Locations will be at the theatre's discretion and may be partial view. Tickets are subject to availability and may not be offered for all performances.
The production features set and costume design by Tony Award-winner Christopher Oram and lighting design by Tony Award-winner Paule Constable. Composer and sound designer is Alex Baranowski. Casting director is Anne McNulty. US General Manager is 101 Productions Ltd.
The actors in The Cripple of Inishmaan are appearing with the permission of Actors' Equity Association.

Forest City, Illinois
The Forest City High School and Ceramics Factory Site is located at 409 Southwest Main Street in the Village of Forest City, Illinois. The Forest City High School opened in 1921 and closed in 1984. In 1984, 4.6 acres of the site was sold to a private investor and used to manufacture and sell ceramic products. The remaining 5.4 acres were deeded to the Village of Forest City and currently serves as a park. The 10-acre site is bordered by forested and agricultural land. The closest residents live approximately 0.5 mile northeast of the site. The property is currently vacant.EPA conducted an investigation of the site in June 2012, and discovered asbestos, lead and other hazardous contaminants. Breathing in high levels of asbestos can cause health problems such as lung disease and cancer. The Site is not secure and poses a threat to human health and the environment. The three buildings located on the site are in bad condition, with a collapsed roof and broken glass in and around the site.

Site Updates
Latest Update
In February 2013, EPA conducted a time-critical removal action. It included:
- removing asbestos and other hazardous materials
- demolishing the abandoned high school building which posed a direct contact threat
- backfilling excavated areas and transporting and disposing of hazardous substances in an off-site disposal facility
EPA held a community involvement information session at the Village Hall in February 2013 to share details about the planned cleanup activities at the former Forest City High School campus.
In May 2013, the site was backfilled and graded with sand and topsoil. The township will seed the property. The site will be used as a park after a property transfer is completed between the current property owner and the township. EPA and contractor left the site on May 14, 2013.

- New ETFs By iShares Enable You To Bet On Inflation
- New ETFs By iShares Let You Earn Higher Yield Without Investing In Junk
- New ETF by PIMCO Lets You You Save on Fees
ETFs That Let You Gamble On Inflation
Do you have a view on inflation?
If you think inflation is going to be lower than 1.9% or South of 2.3% per year for the next few years, then you might be interested in the iShares UltraPro 10 Year TIPS/TSY Spread (UINF) and the UltraPro Short 10 Year TIPS/TSY Spread (SINF)*.
SINF allows you to profit if inflation rises at a pace in line with the market's expectations. The ETF buys the 10 year maturity TIPS (Treasury Inflation Protected Security) and simultaneously shorts the 10 year treasury. The Price of the TIPS rises or falls in value with inflation, as measured by CPI (Consumer Price Index). The TIPS price also changes with the current yield of the 10 year treasury. By simultaneously shorting the 10 year treasury and buying the 10 Year TIPS, iShares has created an ETF which is a pure bet on inflation*.
*The problem with the fund however is that it is a "leveraged ETF" meaning the fund is designed to amplify the gain or loss by 3X's. We could argue that the use of leverage is good or bad depending on the situation, however it is not the leverage used by the ETF that we have a problem with. The problem with leveraged ETF's is that they are designed to track the underlying investment FOR 1 DAY ONLY. The longer one holds a leveraged ETF, and the more volatile the underlying investment is during that time, the further away from reality the investors expected gain or loss on the leveraged ETF will be. You can read more about this problem here.
Earn Extra Yield While Investing In Investment Grade Bonds.
Investment Grade bonds are considered much safer than Junk bonds. Historically their default rate is a tiny fraction of junk bonds. Generally speaking, a bond's rating determines how much interest you can earn. BBB bond will earn a less interest than a AAA bond. In theory, according those that rate the bonds (like S&P and Moodys), all BBB should have the same rate of default.
The market does not always agree.
As we discuss in our article "Are Bank Bonds Cheap?", the market thinks that bonds of financial companies are more risky than the bonds of industrial companies, and therefore requires that they pay more yield. A bond of a financial company can pay one, two, or three percent more than a similar rated non-financial bond. iShare's Financial Sector Bond Fund (MONY) lets you invest in these investment grade financial bonds. Holdings include bonds of companies like Citigroung ( C) and Bank of America (BAC). MONY is not a leveraged ETF, so you avoid the problems we explained above when talking about inflation based ETFs.
PIMCO launches an ETF Version of The Total Return Fund.
The Total Return Fund, which manages over $250 Billion dollars, is now available as an ETF. As explained below there as some differences which will, according to PIMCO, make the performance of the mutual fund and the ETF slightly different. These difference are:
- The ETF cannot use derivatives like interest rates futures and
- The ETF is starting from scratch, so certain bond inventory currently in the mutual fund may not be available for purchase right now. As a result, while types of holdings will be the same the individual bonds will be different.
The biggest difference however is fees, which will be one of the topics in our next article in this series "Three Arguments against Investing in the PIMCO Total Return Fund ETF (TRXT)".

- Not to be confused with Decet Romanum Pontificem.
Romanum decet pontificem (named for its Latin incipit: "it befits the Roman Pontiff") is a papal bull issued by Pope Innocent XII (1691—1700) on June 22, 1692, banning the office of Cardinal Nephew, limiting his successors to elevating only one cardinal relative,[1] eliminating various sinecures traditionally reserved for cardinal-nephews and capping the stipend or endowment the nephew of a pope could receive to 12,000 scudi.[2][3][4]
Romanum decet pontificem was later incorporated into the Code of Canon Law of 1917 in canons 240, 2; 1414, 4; and 1432, 1.[5] In 1694, Innocent XII's series of reforms was capped off with an expensive campaign to eliminate the venality of offices while reimbursing their current holders.[6]
However, following Romanun decet pontificem, only three of the eight popes of the 18th century did not make a nephew or brother cardinal.[7]

The right travel insurance policy can help protect your adventures and give you added peace of mind. To help you get it right, we've provided 12 simple tips, starting with one of the most common travel insurance questions:
1. Do I need travel insurance?
We believe that, YES, you need travel insurance.
Don't believe us? The Government's Smart Traveller says so too.
If you agree that, yes, you need travel insurance, let's dive into the key considerations when choosing a travel insurance policy.
2. Know your destination
Make sure that all of your destinations are covered by the policy you choose. It'd be terrible to choose 'Europe' only to find out your policy does not cover the Singapore stopover!
Also, ensure your destination is currently safe to visit. Review the Virgin Money Travel Alerts and the Smart Traveller Travel Advisories page, as it outlines countries that have adverse conditions, including countries currently categorised by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) as:
- Do not travel; and
- Reconsider your need to travel
Some travel insurance policies will not cover you when you knowingly go to a destination with a high level of risk, or that appears on one of these Travel Advisories lists.
3. Flying solo or travelling with your tribe
If you are travelling solo, use that nomadic spirit to go forth and find the right cover!
If you're travelling with others, look for ways to cover everybody and reduce your premium as a couple or a family.
Some providers may offer better rates when purchasing cover for more than one person. For instance, Virgin Travel Insurance offers a discount for duos, where you'll automatically receive a 10% discount on your premium when buying your travel insurance with a partner (as of June 2016, subject to change).
When travelling with dependents, make sure they are appropriately covered. Different providers will have different definitions, so make sure they fit your needs. With Virgin Travel Insurance, a dependant is included covered under your policy for free, where they are your children or grandchildren under the age of 25, not in full-time employment and are accompanying you on the journey. Review the PDS available at Virgin Travel Insurance for exact details.
4. Multi-tripping or tripping for multiple months
You can also purchase different types of cover depending on the type of travel you will undertake.
Frequent travellers may receive better value and more convenience from purchasing annual, multi-trip policies. With Virgin Travel Insurance, our 12-Month Multi-Trip Travel Insurance policy will follow you anytime, anywhere – both domestically and abroad. You can take an unlimited number of trips within the 12 month period, by letting us know the destinations and the maximum trip duration (up to 45 days).
Some travel insurers, including Virgin Travel Insurance, will not cover one way trips. If you intend to go overseas for a long period of time, also review the maximum amount of time you can be covered for under a particular policy. Virgin Travel Insurance will insure trips for up to 12 months, however you can also look to extend an existing policy when you are abroad.
If you are staying overseas for an extended period of time, also review whether long-term travel insurance or in-country health insurance would be the better fit.
5. Cover what you plan to get up to
If you're into adventure and action off the beaten track, make sure your travel insurance is adequate.
If you're the active type, Virgin Travel Insurance has add-on packs that cover some of the more adventurous arts of your travels – the Snow Pack and Adventure Pack.
If you're into smooth sailing on the high seas, you might also like to review the inclusions specifically for Cruises in the Virgin Travel Insurance Cruise Pack.
In finding the right cover for your activity, a useful place to start is the policy exclusions too (see point 8). These tell you exactly what is and is not covered by your policy.
6. Read the cover limits, excesses and claims
Now we're really delving into details!
Firstly, understand the excess amount and how it is treated by a potential provider. The Virgin Travel Insurance Excess is "the deduction we will make from the amount otherwise payable under your policy for each claimable incident or event". Secondly, understand the emergency contact details, claims procedure, and processing times of each policy you are considering.
Thirdly, check that your cover limits satisfy your potential needs. Some cover limits to review include:
- Overseas emergency medical and hospital expenses
- Accidental death
- Permanent disability
- Cancellation fees & lost deposits
- Additional expenses
- Luggage & Personal effects
- Travel documents
- Theft of cash
This list is not exhaustive, so compare the different cover limits, and different definitions, across providers.
7. Value your valuables
If you're travelling with highly valuable items, make sure you review the cover limits for personal effects. Most policies will list single-item limits for a range of goods, including cameras, laptops, phones and jewellery.
Anything not specifically listed would come under a limit for 'any other item', and you can only claim valuables that total what is often referred to as your "luggage, personal effects and travel documents maximum cover amount"
With technology, be aware that you'll usually only be covered for the value of the item, not the purchase price. Insurers will calculate the depreciation to apply to any such item.
8. Understand when you are NOT covered
We cannot emphasise this enough – understand the terms and conditions in your Product Disclosure Statement.
It outlines what you are covered for and, critically, what you are NOT covered for. Important sections to review include:
- Drink, drugs and silly things – what you are covered for when intoxicated (hint and warning: you generally won't be covered for much in these circumstances!)
- Relatives – the definitions of a 'relative' should you need to change plans due to a relatives ill-health
- Possessions – where they have to be (generally on your person or securely locked away) to be able to claim the cost of stolen or damaged goods
- Cancellations – will I get my money back if I cancel
- Insolvency – what happens when airlines or travel providers go broke
9. Medical matters
If you have a pre-existing health issue, it's best to make sure you have it covered. You might be charged a higher premium, but if complications arise with these conditions while you are travelling, and you have not disclosed them, you may not be covered at all.
Note that not all pre-existing medical conditions will be covered, so if you fall into this category, get in touch with the Insurer directly. There are 36 pre-existing medical conditions that Virgin Travel Insurance may cover at no extra cost. But be sure to review the full terms and conditions first.
If you are pregnant, or get pregnant overseas, again make sure you know what is and isn't included in your policy.
Age is also a factor in calculating travel insurance premiums. Generally, the older you are, the higher your premium is likely to cost.
Plus 3 bonus tips
Buy early
This isn't necessarily about choosing a policy, but is nonetheless a handy tip. If your plans change or unforeseen events stop you taking a booked holiday, travel insurance may be able to cover some of your cancellation fees and lost deposits. Review the policy details and consider purchasing your travel insurance policy as early as possible, noting that different providers have limits on how early you can purchase. For example, a Virgin Travel Insurance policies can be purchased up to 12 months before the date of your travel.
Look for discounts
Travel insurance providers may offer special discounts on travel insurance premiums.
For instance, have you got a Virgin Money Credit Card? Virgin Money credit cardholders can simply pay for their Virgin Travel Insurance using their Virgin Credit Card to receive a 10% discount^ off the premium.
Does your credit card offer travel insurance?
Some credit cards also offer complimentary travel insurance when you purchase some or all of your journey with your credit card. For instance, the Virgin Australia Velocity High Flyer credit cards provide complimentary international travel insurance to cardholders who use their credit card to buy overseas travel tickets before leaving Australia. It's important to review the Complimentary Insurance Terms and Conditions to understand the policy inclusions, cover limits and exclusions.
Before signing off, and for the umpteenth time, whatever travel insurance policy you choose, review the Product Disclosure Statement and applicable terms and conditions to ensure it is right for your needs.
Happy travelling!

Walter P. Rawl & Sons Inc. has achieved its SQF 2000 Level 2 food safety and compliance certification from third-party auditor SQF.
Though the Pelion, S.C.-based grower and processor of bulk and packaged leafy greens has for years grown and packed under a Hazard Analysis & Critical Control Point food safety system, Rawl spent 2010 preparing for a higher level of food safety certification through the Safe Quality Food Institute, a division of Arlington, Va.-based Food Marketing Institute, according to a news release.
The company increased worker safety awareness, revamped processing practices, strengthened documentation requirements and improved training protocols, according to the release.
To remain updated on food safety practices, Rawl has started working on its Level 3 SQF Certification for Food Safety and Quality, which Rawl expects to complete by the end of 2011.
âIt is our responsibility to maintain a food safety program that is always evolving and offers consumers a safe, high quality product from a responsible company they can trust,â Ashley Rawl, director of sales, marketing and product development, said in the release.
SQF is a leading global food safety and quality certification program and management system that was designed to meet worldwide suppliers and buyers needs.

Give Fish Sauce a Tryby Food Network Kitchen in Food Network Magazine, July 16th, 2013
Don't be scared off by a recipe that calls for fish sauce. It smells pungent, but you won't detect any fishiness in your dish — just a rich, salty, almost meaty flavor. Fish sauce can be used in more than just Asian dishes: Add a splash to tomato sauce or whisk some into salad dressing. Just remember that a little goes a long way.

The annual E3 Show in Los Angeles is the most significant event on the games industry's calendar – it's where the next crop of blockbusters are revealed for the first time, and often the first place we get to play them. 2016's show, according to consensus, was something of a classic and there's no denying the fact that there were a large number of very fine titles on show.
Before the show got going in earnest, the big players tried to outdo each other with the customary round of razzmatazz-filled press conferences. For our money, Microsoft won those exchanges, announcing a new console, codenamed Project Scorpio, which will arrive at the end of 2017 and bring with it full 4K TV output and some (as yet unspecified) element of upgradability. Sony acknowledged that it is working on a similar uprated version of the PlayStation 4, called PS4 Neo, but refused to talk any more about it. Sony's message at the press conference was that it was concentrating on the games but then, oddly, it seemed reluctant to show us any of them.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
To describe the next instalment in the legendary Zelda series as "much anticipated" would be an understatement. We'll still have to wait until some unspecified time in 2017 to buy it, but having – finally – played it, we can confirm that it adds plenty of new aspects to a much-loved formula. In Breath of the Wild, a teenage Link wakes after 100 years in suspended animation, to find Hyrule terrorised by an evil demon called Calamity Ganon, currently imprisoned in Hyrule castle.
Hyrule is now a gorgeous-looking land (the game has lush, impressionistic cel-shaded graphics) which, for the first time in a Zelda game, you can wander around seamlessly. Another major change sees the abandonment of health-restoring hearts; instead, you must collect food, cook it on fires and combine objects using a crafting engine. Link has some new moves, too, such as the ability to jump on his shield as if it were a snowboard and slide down inclines.
Battlefield 1
The next instalment of Electronic Arts' sandbox multiplayer shooter has all the ingredients for smash-hit status. Using developer Dice's amazing Frostbite engine – which powered Star Wars Battlefront – it recreates World War I in a brutally realistic manner.
We played 64-player multiplayer, although we're assured that, unlike previous Battlefield games, Battlefield 1 will have a meaty single-player experience, taking in various locations inlcuding Arabia. The multiplayer, which we experienced on a huge map in a French village, in which there were six objectives to secure, is thrillingly full-on. As ever, you can jump into tanks, armoured cars, biplanes and even, if your side is losing, a giant Zeppelin; everything is fully destructible, so what started off as a village ended as a pile of rubble. Will Battlefield 1 end Call of Duty's traditional dominance of this year's Christmas games charts? it's a distinct possibility.
Ghost Recon Wildlands
Due in March 2017, Wildlands goes a long way towards reinventing Ubisoft's Tom Clancy-branded tactical squad-based shooter. It's set in a parallel universe in which a Colombian drug cartel, in conjunction with a corrupt government, has effectively taken control of Bolivia – so the elite Ghosts are fighting the military and a drug cartel.
Wildlands is a fully open world game, set in the biggest game-world Ubisoft has ever constructed. You play as a member of a four-man squad, which can be populated with AI players or real humans, with the latter dropping in and out as they please. It's much more action-oriented (you can, for example, parachute out of helicopters) and pick-up-and-play than previous instalments of Ghost Recon, and proved an absolute joy to play.
Gears of War 4
We didn't get to play the latest instalment of the third-person cover-shooter, but a hands-off demo confirmed that its gameplay will be much more varied than that of its predecessors – one sequence, for example, saw you and your squad struggling against a raging storm, and using the environment to take out enemies.
Gears of War games have always had finely-honed control systems, but weighed against that have been clichéd characterisation and gameplay that eventually started to feel monotonous. But Gears of War 4 appears to have avoided falling into those traps this time around.
Resident Evil 7
Prepare to be terrified: after a couple of much-criticised forays into more action-oriented gameplay, the seventh instalment of Resident Evil is returning to its survival-horror roots. The demo of the game which we played at E3 sees three ghost-hunters enter a haunted house, only for death and general scariness to ensue.
It has been suggested that Resident Evil 7 is reminiscent of the Silent Hill games. One thing is for sure: it will be very, very scary. And you can sample it right now: the E3 demo is available for free download to your PlayStation 4.
Watch Dogs 2
The first Watch Dogs promised much but ultimately failed to deliver; however, we have very high hopes for its successor. Set in a brilliantly realistic San Francisco, it casts you as hacker Marcus Holloway, righting the world's wrongs via his work for hacking organisation Dedsec.
With great gadgets, sandbox gameplay which lets you take a variety of approaches and a really cool vibe in terms of visuals and humour, Watch Dogs 2 has clearly eliminated the first game's major drawbacks, including dodgy car handling and an unsympathetic main character. Watch Dogs 2 felt inventive, absorbing and likely to be a big hit.
Forza Horizon 3
The third version of Microsoft's open-world arcade-style driving game sees the Horizon circus move to Australia: a gorgeous-looking backdrop for its customary extreme petrol-head antics. If anything, it's even more over-the-top than its predecessors. Not only does it put you in some of the world's most exotic machinery, but we found ourselves, at one point, racing against a car which was suspended from a helicopter. Gloriously bonkers, and fabulous to behold.
For Honor
For Honor is an up-close-and-personal sword-fighting game, in a world in which knights, samurais and vikings are locked in a constant cycle of war. Which proves to be brilliant fun, since For Honor is one of the first games ever to crack the conundrum of creating a control system that really lets you feel as though you have a sword (or axe, or katana) in your hand.
With four quadrants representing different angles of attack mapped to the controller's right stick, it makes sword fighting feel intuitive. And with a close-in camera and plenty of action-adventure elements, it really sucks you into its mediaeval-style world.
Dishonored 2
Bethesda Softworks' inventive assassin-game is set to return this November with lush new visuals and the chance to play as Emily Kaldwin – daughter of Corvo Attano and the assassinated Empress – and her dad, each with different skills and play-styles. It promises to be every bit as hardcore and steampunk as the original.
Mafia III
The third chunk of 2K Games' much-loved evocation of the murky world of the American mob takes place in 1968, and adopts an unusual spin on the mafia-game blueprint. That's because you play Lincoln Clay, a Vietnam vet returning to the fictional city of New Bordeaux, who is on a quest to avenge the death of his friends at the hands of the mob. So for once, you're fighting wiseguys, rather than becoming one.
Mafia III looks incredible, with lashings of Swinging Sixties atmosphere, and has some great voice-acting and characterisations. The Mafia franchise has been regarded as something of a cult-favourite in the past, but Mafia III could take it into the mainstream.
Sniper Elite 4
If sniping is your thing, then you're in for a treat: the fourth version of British developer Rebellion's Sniper Elite is by far its best yet. Set in World War II Italy – although you're mainly taking down Nazis – it's utterly rigorous, with pretty tough AI, requiring you to mix your sniping up with setting traps and stealth sequences. Basically, it casts you as a one-man army. Hard, but very rewarding.
South Park: The Fractured But Whole
Once again, Matt Stone and Trey Parker have been exercising their games development muscles, and their second South Park game was by far the funniest (and filthiest) on show at E3. Careful how you pronounce its name… This time around, you again play the new guy. But as a superhero – Cartman, Kyle, Stan and co have been off on one of their superhero flights of fancy, and have fallen out due to disputes over which of them should get their own movies, and which should be banished to Netflix. So they have split into two groups and are fighting each other.
The Fractured But Whole is another homage to old-skool RPGs, but the second wave this time, so while it's still turn-based, you can move around and employ more strategies in combat. Plus, of course, outrageous superhero moves. Likely to be the funniest game you will play this year.
We Happy Few
This hitherto obscure download game – from Compulsion, the Montreal-based developer behind the early PlayStation Plus game Contrast – created quite a stir at Microsoft's press conference (it will launch first on the Xbox One). A bizarre, dystopian survival-game, influenced by the likes of Brave New World, 1984, Brazil, A Clockwork Orange and (we kid you not) Dad's Army, it casts you as wage-slave Arthur Hastings, who stops taking the Joy pills distributed by the government and is cast into a hostile, but amusingly 60s-style world, branded as a "downer".
We Happy Few is surprisingly high-tech – it makes use of procedural generation to make sure that no two people who play it will have the same experience. And it is both hilarious and thought-provoking. Our standout as the best indie game on show at E3.

With the newly redesigned unibody Mac mini, it appears that Apple is trying to bring the best of the original Mac mini and the current Apple TV together to make a more formidable machine. After all, the Mac mini is now the only Apple Mac computer that sports a built-in HDMI port, perfect for connecting it to your home theater. In this episode we compare the look and build of the new Mac mini, the original Mac mini, and the Apple TV.
You can pick up the unibody Mac mini at Apple now.
Bleeding Edge TV 352: Unibody Mac mini vs. Original Mac mini
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Gizmatic, Apple, Features, PC / Laptop, Podcasts, Videocasts, Videos
A couple of week ago, Apple introduced a completely redesigned Mac mini, sporting a unibody enclosure along with an HDMI port and SD card slot. The new machine is much thinner than the original design, which the mini has been sporting for about five years now, and we figured we'd give you an up-close comparison of the two models so that you can see both the obvious changes, as well as the more subtle ones.
You can pick up the new Mac mini from the Apple Store online now.
Unboxing Live 058: Apple Mac mini unibody 2010
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Features, HDTV, Home Entertainment, PC, Videocasts
Apple just released a brand new, completely redesigned Mac mini, sporting a new unibody enclosure. We quickly got our hands on the new mini, which also sports other notable improvements (SD card slot, HDMI port, upgraded NVIDIA graphics chip,) so that we could get to work on testing for our review. In the meantime, though, we figured we'd get an episode of Unboxing Live put together, so that we could give you a look at what's in the box, and also the unit itself. Apple did a fantastic job at reducing the size of the new Mac mini, while adding a bunch of function.
You can buy the new Mac mini now from Apple.
Mac mini unibody gets the iFixIt teardown treatment
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Mods / Hacks, PC / Laptop
So, you know that new Mac mini we told you about a couple days ago? Yeah, the one that is even slimmer than the one before it, while packing more power? In case you were curious about how Apple was able to cram all that goodness into such a tiny space, wonder no more. Our pals over at iFixIt have gotten their hands on the new Mac mini, and they've posted a bunch of images, along with a tutorial, of the teardown process. It's nice and detailed, and gives you great appreciation for the organizational skills of the people that build these things.

Redesigned Mac mini: HDMI, SD card reader, unibody aluminum enclosure
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, PC / Laptop
Earlier tonight, the Apple Store went down, and we all figured it was just so that they could get the pre-order page for the iPhone 4 up and running—imagine our surprise when we saw a completely redesigned Mac mini waiting for us as well. The new Mac mini looks gorgeous, sporting a redesigned aluminum unibody enclosure. Even better, this is the first Mac that has an HDMI port built right in, which makes this perfect for hooking up to a television to turn into a media centric computer. Other niceties include an SD card reader on the back, 802.11n Wi-Fi, Mini DisplayPort, and the NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics chip, which Apple says provides twice the graphics performance as the previous mini. Rounding things out are a 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo chip, 2GB RAM, and a 320GB hard drive. The unibody enclosure was made in such a way that you could remove a panel on the bottom to easily get to the RAM—any owner of the previous Mac mini can attest to the horrific things you had to go through to upgrade the Mac mini RAM, so this is a welcome change.
The Snow Leopard Server model of the Mac mini remains as well, packing in two 500GB drives (and removing the SuperDrive,) alongside 4GB RAM and a 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor. You can order the new Mac Mini now for $699, while the server version sells for $999.

Netflix begins streaming HD content to PC and Mac users
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: HDTV, Internet, Movies
Well, hey, it looks like Netflix has quietly started rolling out HD streaming to PC and Mac clients! If you've been streaming Netflix to a Roku, Xbox 360, Wii, PS3, or any other number of Netflix-connected devices, you've already had the pleasure of watching the higher quality HD feeds. Pc and Mac users, however, had been left out in the cold all this time, being relegated to standard definition viewing. More than half of HD-enabled streaming titles will stream in HD to a computer. To check and see if a title is available in HD, just hover the mouse over the movie art, and look for "HD available" in the Format area.

New MacBook Air update coming tomorrow?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, PC / Laptop, Rumors
Macworld.au is reporting that a "well-placed source" familiar with Apple and their inventory and refresh schedules is now saying that there may be a MacBook Air update happening very soon—in fact, it could come as soon as tomorrow. There is apparently a new Apple product number out there, that being MC516LL/A K87 BETTER BTR-USA. The 'BETTER' portion of that number most likely points to it being in the Mac product line, and the MacBook Air is well overdue for an update. Now, the source also says that it may point to a new 27-inch LED Cinema Display, since that seems to be coming soon as well. However, there are thousands of these apparently headed to Australia, which would be more in line with a major new product revision.

Unboxing Live 055: 27-inch Apple iMac
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Features, Videocasts
When Apple introduced the latest generation of iMac to the world, and made it known that they were able to get that LED-backlit display up to 27-inches, we knew it would not only be a gorgeous machine, but it would pretty much be right up there with a low-end Mac Pro if specced out right. We immediately picked up one of the new 27-inch iMacs to put out theory to the test, but in the meantime, we've got an unboxing video for you that shows off the ridiculously huge Mac, as well as the little design tweaks and changes that Apple has made to the iMac line since the previous generation.

However, we're having trouble finding a middle name.
I think something one syllable will be best with this particular name and our surname.
I can't think of much except James, Paul, Reece. It can't be anything like Finn or
Quinn as there's an 'in' sound in the name already.
Any suggestions would be great!

What's the number one priority for data center end users? According to Data Center Pulse, it's getting industry groups to work together effectively on standards and metrics for data center operators. Aligning the efforts of industry organizations topped the list of the Top 10 data center user requests compiled during the first Data Center Pulse Summit last week in Santa Clara.
"We need to align our organizations," said Dean Nelson, a co-founder of Data Center Pulse who works for Sun Microsystems. "There's so many cooks in the kitchen, and so many silos. We really would like to get an industry consortium that enables us to work together. We've got to be aligned about how this is going to go."
Will the established data center industry groups industry heed the call for change from Data Center Pulse, a new group focused exclusively on the interests of end users? The data center industry's ability to work together despite fierce business competition among leading vendors has become a pressing issue amid rising power usage and costs.
The emergence of the Green Grid, an industry consortium organized by vendors, has helped advance energy efficiency standards (especially Power Usage Effectiveness, or PUE) but many end users remain frustrated by the deliberate pace of progress.
Interestingly, the Green Grid has been receptive to DCP's calls for alignment of industry organizations, according to Nelson. Established groups like the Uptime Institute, 7×24 Exchange and AFCOM have been more reserved in their assessment of the new group.
"The reaction has been mixed," Nelson said. "Some organizations want to figure out a way to partner, and others to understand what we're doing and see us as a bit of a threat. There are groups out there that see this as taking something away from their organization. Data Center Pulse shouldn't be considered a threat."
Expanding Into Live Conferences
A factor in other groups' wariness may be the decision by Data Center Pulse to expand its original format as an online-only user group on LinkedIN and enter the live conference arena. AFCOM, 7×24 Exchange and Uptime Institute all hold data center conferences that attract hundreds of attendees from the industry.
Data Center Pulse is a vendor-neutral group launched in September 2008 to bring together global data center owners and operators to discuss best practices and industry trends. The group is restricted to users, with no vendors or consultants allowed to participate.
It might be easy for other groups to dismiss DCP's calls for alignment as a tactic to raise the new group's profile. But the rapid growth of Data Center Pulse – which now has nearly 700 members – suggests that end users are unhappy with the status quo and see the need for a new approach.
Nelson said many industry conferences and user groups are focused on presentations by vendors of data center products. At the very least, Nelson says, DCP provides a venue for users to articulate their needs.
"We're trying to unite end-users, and will figure out a way to make it happen," said Nelson. "We have to. We're going to continue to push forward with this and find a way to work together."

THE team behind a successful new arts festival in Ringwood say they are incredibly excited about the number of acts signed up for this year's event.
Fanfare for Spring, Ringwood's international festival of street performance art on May 17, has so far attracted talent from musicians and actors to dancers.
Organiser Roger Bettle said: "It's not only the number of enquiries and bookings we are receiving, but also the variety of performers, from circus acts, strolling players, bands and groups playing a wide variety of music."
New to Fanfare this year is Spank the Planks Appalachian dancers. Street Theatre will be represented with performances from Mummers Players from Milford on Sea and local dance groups. Ringwood Musical & Dramatic Society will be singing music from their latest show the Hot Mikado.
Stagecoach Ringwood's junior performers will be taking part, and buskers will be found around the town. The Rotary Club of Ringwood and the Ringwood Ex Tablers Club is hosting the entertainment.

Corn Estimated Fund Position
Trends – July Contract
Short Term:Down Net Long Futures and Options: 177027
Long Term: Up Change: +10000
Overnight Trade: N -1 @7:30 AM
The corn was mixed overnight with the market giving up some of yesterday's bull spreading. There is still concern about planting progress, which is keeping the market supported and yesterday's gains may encourage follow through buying later in the day. A move back above $5.00 in the December contract is possible, but if it happens the weather will have to stay cool and wet to keep the threat of planting delays alive and the market moving higher.
Wheat Estimated Fund Position
Trends – July Contract
Short Term: Up Net Long Futures and Options: -10291
Long Term:Up Change: +3000
Overnight Trade: Chicago: N -4 KC: N -5 @7:30 AM
The wheat gave up yesterday gains in overnight trade. Rain in the forecast for parts of the HRW Belt seems to be the best reason for the pressure. Many areas are going to be missed, which means there is a good chance crop condition ratings will be lower once again on Monday. In the meantime, the charts suggest further weakness in the market and the July KW is likely headed for the $7.25 area.
Soybeans Estimated Fund Position
Trends – July Contract
Short Term: Up Net Long Futures and Options: 136012
Long Term:Up Change: -6000
Overnight Trade: N -6 @7:30 AM
The soybeans were weak again overnight and the July contract is now at trend line support. The talk is still focused on Chinese default and US imports. As we move lower the talk will likely shift back to the fact that we still haven't got the old crop balance sheet figured out. In the short run, if the trend line fails today, the next support lies at the $14.50 area. As we approach $14.50 look for the talk to shift back to the fact that we still don't have the old crop supply and demand balance sheet resolved.
Live Cattle
Short Term: Down
Long Term: Down
Opening Calls: 20-40 Lower
Live cattle futures posted moderate gains on Tuesday, with deferred contracts seeing the most upside movement. Cutout values continue to push higher, as we work our way into the grilling season. Overnight trade has softened, with June-Oct giving up .50-.60 as we write. Open interest in the lead April contract remains quite high, with only 6 trading days remaining on the contract. Early cash bids of $143-$144 in the south remains a good
$4 under asking prices at midweek. Open interest increased overall on Tuesday's rally but the market needs to see a close above yesterday's highs to confirm any near term lows in the charts.
Feeder Cattle
Short Term: Down
Long Term: Up
Opening Call: 10-30 Lower
Feeder cattle futures followed the fats to moderate gains on Tuesday, with the gains coming in spite of a solid advance in the corn market. The cash index was even with the previous day and remains nearly 1.00 discount to the May board price. Overnight corn prices are narrowly mixed, with feeders softer across the board. Friday's cattle on feed report is expecting slightly higher placements for the month of March, with average estimates up 1.7 percent.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 1/8/2013 (1480 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
CALGARY -- Canadian rock icons Rush have announced they raised more than half a million dollars at a recent benefit concert for flood relief in southern Alberta.
The proceeds from the July 24 concert in Red Deer, Alta., will see $125,000 specifically go to the citizens of High River, who were hit the hardest in the June flood.
The band says $400,000 will go to the Canadian Red Cross and the remaining $50,000 will go to local charities.
Meanwhile, the Halo High Water benefit concert to be held Sunday at the Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium has sold out.
The concert featuring Tom Jackson, Paul Brandt, Jim Cuddy and George Canyon will raise funds for the Calgary Foundation's Flood Rebuilding Fund.

Eminem Debuts 'The Monster' Featuring Rihanna
The newest track released from Marshall Mathers LP 2, "The Monster," proves that Eminem and Rihanna continue to be a winning combination. This song is going to be big.
"The Monster" deals with Eminem's inner demons. It was co-written by Bebe Rexha, who originally recorded for the song for her own debut album, as she told Vibe last week.
This is not Rihanna and Eminem's first collaboration. Nor is it their second. Or third. They previously worked together on "Love the Way You Lie," "Love the Way You Lie (Part II)" and "Numb." I'm just floating this out there, but how much support do you think we could get for a constitutional amendment to require Rihanna to feature on all Eminem songs?

Indeed the time was not so bad because every runner finished with a time 3 minutes higher than the usual with many complaints for the difficult path and the organization, for example: postponed departure, only one person to distribute the water during the race and no more drinks at the the end.
(Isle Maggiore on the Trasimeno Lake)
The Aussie Legion: The Black Knight and Sir Giorgio received the much appreciated visit of strewth, CJ and their husbands. Unfortunately they could only stay few hours but we had the time to enjoy a dinner all together in a typical italian restaurant on the hills. I hope that the next time we will have the chance to run through the Black Knight's kingdom: the plotter subjectsmust not forget the might of the international Black Knight Army.

Guided photo walks in Austin
If you are in Austin (either resident or visitor) and are looking for someone to help make sure you get the best photos of this fine city that you can possibly get, then hire me as a guide and I will personally escort you to all the right places at all the right times. I'm both a local resident and a passionate photographer, and I know all the right spots.
My list of the best places to photograph in Austin is at the top of any Google search for that subject, and I have published an eBook about it as well (which you can find here). I will make sure you get the shots that you want, and that you have a great time doing so...but I can't promise how the weather will turn out. :-)
Prior to meeting up, we can discuss what your preferences are in terms of subject matter and plan an itinerary around that, keeping in mind how the light will come into play on your subject. Though most people prefer sunsets, I can promise that sunrise is pretty spectacular too, and much less crowded - and I am open to that as well (and there are plenty of places to get coffee)!
Requirements: car to get yourself to the proper spots (unless it's all walking distance - for example, many of the spots downtown - and I will meet you at your chosen destination), camera, tripod, and a fun attitude!
You get a free copy of my eBook "The Photographer's Guide to Austin" when you hire me as your guide!
Please contact me to discuss details.
Post Processing Workshops in Austin
If you are looking to take your photos to the next level and really get your friends to say "Wow!", then hire me to tutor you in how to capture your photos and the fine art processes of creative, stunning post-processing. I've been post-processing my photos for years now and have been recognized globally for my colorful, expressive work. We can dedicate as little or as much time to it as you want, and meet in a convenient location to get started.
We will cover all the basics from setting up your camera to capturing the RAW files in the field, to using Lightroom to edit your base image, and then using other software products to bring that photo to life. I will coach you through my entire workflow and help you make your photos into masterpieces!
This customized, personal workshop will include time in the field capturing the photos as well as dedicated time working together on your laptop and working through the various software packages to craft your photographs. You will leave feeling inspired and excited about the possibilities that lie ahead for your photography!
Requirements: camera with auto-bracketing, tripod, laptop, software
Suggested software: Aurora HDR Pro or Photomatix Pro (to create an HDR, if interested), Adobe Lightroom, any of the Macphun Creative Kit, Nik Software Color Efex Pro (or any of the Nik Suite of products), or On1 Software Perfect Effects, or the Topaz Suite (Topaz Adjust, etc), or some combination of all of those products
Please contact me to discuss details.

Today's Lady News: Indiana Removes Breast Cancer BS From Abortion Bill
- Thank God, an Indiana state Senate committee has removed a provision from an anti-abortion bill that required women seeking abortions be told that terminating a pregnancy increased their risk for breast cancer. A link between abortion and breast cancer is completely medically unproven but continues to be spouted by anti-abortion extremists as fact. [IndyStar.com]
- A Northern Kentucky University professor has revived the conspiracy theory that Sarah Palin is actually the grandmother of her son, Trig, and essentially bamboozled the American people with the biggest hoax of all time. As much as I love conspiracy theories … who really cares about this one anymore? [Gawker]
- A woman wearing a blue burka sitting on a trash heap is a controversial new ad campaign by Germany's International Human Rights campaign. While their point may have been that women in some parts of the world are valued as little as trash, a depiction of a veiled woman as being like garbage is not right, either. [Feministing]
- Maya Soetoro-Ng, the sister of President Obama, has published a children's book called Ladder to the Moon about their mother, Ann Dunham. Cute! [The Grio]
- In other Sarah Palin news, she has obtained a restraining order against an alleged 19-year-old stalker, Shawn Christy, for repeated threats, including one about raping one of her daughters. Disgusting. [TMZ]
- Sixty nuns based in Boston who call themselves The Daughters of St. Paul are suing their archbishop over their pensions, which they claim have been mismanaged. [Guardian UK]
- Facebook will not allow a man to use a painting of a vagina as his profile image and he's so angry about this that he will sue. Sigh. [Long Island Press]
- Dr. Nancy Hardesty, a cofounder of the Evangelical and Ecumenical Women's Caucus, which advocated "biblical feminism" and sought to dissuade Christians from viewing women solely as "submissive" in the Bible, passed away on Friday at age 69. [Care2]
- Zainab al-Khawaja, 27, of Bahrain is holding a hunger strike until her father, Abdulhadi al-Khawaja, a human rights activist, is released by police. Zainab's husband and brother-in-law were also detained. Even though she is breastfeeding a child right now, Zainab says she is willing to die by hunger strike if it draws attention to her father's persecution. [Guardian UK]
- Forty years ago, Margaret Harrison's one-woman feminist art show was shut down in London for being "indecent." Now she reflects back on how the art world has changed. [Guardian UK]

The Backson Song is a song in Winnie the Pooh (2011).
Owl: It's a Giant creature with a tail
Here, I'll draw Piglet in for scale
Piglet: Oh d-d-dear!
Its hide is like a shaggy rug
Its face a surly ugly mug
With two sharp horns atop its head
In between a mop of hair that's red
All: Oh!
And in its nose a ring of gold
It smells of monkey's feet and mold
Its toes are black
Its fur is blue
I swear that all I tell you is not made up
The Backson! All: The Backson! Owl: The Backson! All: The Backson
Oh no! Pooh: But Owl what does the Backson do? All: Yes Owl what does the Backson do? Owl: Hmm, what does the Backson do?
I'm thinking, I'm thinking, I'm thinking, I'm thinking and now I will tell you
They sneak into your library and scribble in all your books
All: The Backson, The Backson! We don't like the Backson!
Owl: When decorating your Christmas tree, they tangle up all the hooks! All: The Backson! The Backson! We're afraid of the Backson. Owl: They spoil the milk, they stop all the clocks, they use their horns to put hole in your socks All: The Backson's the one who's been putting holes in our socks!
Roo: Tell us more about what Backsons do Tigger: Yes more about what Backsons do Owl: More about what Backsons do? Why don't we hear some thoughts from you? Tigger: Maybe they make ya sleep too late Owl: Yes, yes that's good, that's great Eeyore: I bet they're the reason my tail is gone Owl: You're on a roll go on, go on! Rabbit: They muddy up your tidy house Piglet: They make you feel as small as a mouse Roo: They break your crayons Rabbit: They spill your tea! Kanga: They wake up babies at 1:00 and 3:00 Eeyore: They made me catch the cold I caught Winnie the Pooh: They made me lose my train of thought Tigger: They swipe your stripes Piglet: They clog your pipes Rabbit: They dig up your garden Eeyore: They won't be your pardon Winnie the Pooh: They eat your snacks Piglet: They won't relax! Rabbit: They chip your tooth Kanga: They steal your youth! Owl: And now you know the horrible truth All: The Backson, The Backson, The Backson, The Backson. Oh Noooooo!
Rabbit: Oh yes All: Huh?
Rabbit: I know exactly what to do
We'll find things Backsons are partial to Winnie the Pooh: Like books Kanga: And dishes Piglet: And socks Roo: And toys Rabbit: Yes everything that a Backson destroys
Then we'll dig an enormous pit and make the items lead to it
He'll fall in and we'll get our friend Owl: And this horrible nightmare will come to an end
The Backson! All: The Backson! Owl: The Backson! All: The Backson!
Owl: Go home and search your closets, bring everything that you can
All: The Backson! The Backson! We're gonna catch the Backson!
Owl: We'll save Christopher Robin by following Rabbit's plan
All: The Backson! The Backson! We'll save Christopher Robin!
We must be brave and have no fear Owl: So to the death, we'll persevere All: We'll search by the sun and the light and the moon, and if everything goes well,
We'll be back soon! Owl: Back soon? All: Back soon! Owl: Sounds like Backson All: Back soon! Owl: Oh well, good luck everyone!

Students must meet certain requirements before registering for college-level courses. These are called pre-requisites and often pertain to communications and mathematics skill levels. Skills level may be established in a number of ways. Students must demonstrate proficiency in communications and mathematics in order to graduate.
In order to succeed in college level courses and programs of study, students may need to improve their skills in English and in Mathematics. All students are assessed when they come to the college to determine if they need developmental coursework to help them prepare for college-level reading and writing, or mathematics and achieve communications or mathematics proficiency. These courses may extend the time it takes a student to complete his or her academic program. In addition, these pre-college classes bear academic credit, and credits earned from these course count when computing credits for satisfactory academic progress, financial aid, and veterans' benefits. However, credits earned in these classes do not count toward a credit certificate or associate degree; they are at a pre-college level.
Students whose first language is not English may need specific courses in ESL. Students are tested to determine their level of proficiency in reading, writing, listening, and speaking. Those who are beginning to learn English will qualify for several levels of noncredit Basic ESL classes. Others may place into course in Intermediate or Advanced ESL. Students are not required to take all courses in a sequence if they demonstrate required proficiency in that skill.
Professional educators are available in the ESL Multimedia Lab to help students study independently outside of class so that they can progress as quickly as possibly through ESL classes. The lab is open every day and evening, Monday through Thursday, and Friday during the daytime only.
Students with developmental needs may test into Communication Skills courses. These courses are designed to increase the student's ability to read critically, increase vocabulary, and to write better paragraphs and essays.
Students may test into Level 1 and may take three linked courses in College Reading 1, College Writing 1, and First Year Experience (COM 100). Students who test into Level 2 may take two linked courses, College Reading 2 and College Writing 2; students are encouraged to enroll in First Year Experience as well. Students who have strong reading skills but need to strengthen their writing skills will qualify for COM 015 (Composition 1 Seminar) paired with a Composition 1 (CMP101A) class as part of the Accelerated Learning Program (ALP).
Students must exhibit proficiency in basic mathematic concepts prior to graduation. The content of many courses at NSCC assumes that students have mastered these basic concepts. When initially registering for courses at NSCC, students will be assessed for their knowledge of basic mathematic concepts and arithmetic, algebraic, and other college-level mathematic operations so that they can be placed into an appropriate mathematics course.

We propose a numerical wavefront manipulation method for synthesizing a new interference term from two digital holograms recorded using the same reference wavefront. The interference term of interest is synthesized indirectly, and its reconstructed image is unaffected by the reference wavefront used during hologram recording. We present experimental results of the indirect synthesis of the interference term corresponding to the lensless Fourier hologram using the Fresnel hologram.

text: SourceINDIA, November 15,2012 (rediff.com): K.V. Ramani is the co-founder of Nasscom, the organization that represents and sets the tone for public policy for the Indian software industry. A successful entrepreneur, Ramani founded Chennai-based Future Software and also co-founded Hughes Software in Delhi. But there's another side to him; of a well-known philanthropist. Ramani, who has been donating 80 percent of his earnings to the Shirdi Sai Trust, was recently in the news for having built a Sai Ashram for US$20 million and handed it over to Sri Saibaba Sansthan. Sai Ashram I and II together form a complex which can accommodate 14,000 devotees. The Ashram will formally be inaugurated by President Pranab Mukherjee on November 16."When I help build Sai temples and do Sai Prachar, it is my offering to the God. I want more people to gain something from Sai Baba like I did. I want others also to experience the joy and spirituality that I experience. Baba has said, the money that I give you is not for your enjoyment alone. He says, you enjoy what you need and the rest, you use for your karma and dharma. It meant, we should use the money for the benefit of others who need help," says Ramani in an interview.In the lengthy interview with rediff.com's Shobha Warrier, Ramani talks about how he lives the life of an entrepreneur and a philanthropist at the same time.

About the Book
What is travel?
What does it generate?
What is changed?
How to communicate this?
This book is the second in a series of books, (as well as posters movies and web pages) documenting my late 2010 to early 2011 move across country, and my efforts to answer these questions for myself
I had sold and or given away everything that could not fit in or on my truck and
left my long time home of Los Angeles. Looking for a new home, I don't expect to return there. The first steps of a journey to a new "home".
Having driven across country before there were a few things I wanted to see again:
Meteor Crater, The VLA, Madalena, White Sands and Roswell, NM.
A few new places to check out:
Austin, TX , Baton Rouge & New Orleans, LA as possible landing sites.
An old friend and his new children I had never met, in Atlanta.
Route assembled, the trip follows.

Have Cat Questions? Ask a Cat Vet Online.
Hello, Jane and welcome!My name isXXXXX have been with the site since 2006 and it will be my pleasure to assist you and your kitty today.I'm so sorry to hear that Blackie has gone through this trouble with an infection.Is he eating anything on his own?What kind of food are you offering or is he eating? (brand and canned or dry?)Is he able to drink on his own?Is he eliminating as usual?Thanks for all your additional detail,Cher
He was eating a little on his own- but just now when the sore on his mouth seems to have gotten worse he isn't. He seems hungry and sniffs at his food but hasn't eaten any of it today. He has been having his anti-biotics crushed and put into his mouth in a syringe mixed up with some food the vet gave me. (2 x per day). I have been offering him dry and canned food and tried different varieties such as Fussy Cat tinned and dry.
He has taken no water on his own - he has had a lap at some milk last night but did not take much. I think he is eliminating OK - he goes outside once in a while.
He is still weak from the infection- the vet seemed to think he might have Feline aids and maybe pneumonia as his breathing was difficult 2 or 3 days ago. His breathing seems OK now.He is a tom cat and had been in fights with other cats and has had a lump on one side of his face - still there but smaller. He has been dribbling especially from the side of his mouth that has the sore on it.
