I've featured the work of net-savvy, happily mutated juggler and magician Mat Ricardo here before. Now he's planning quite an astounding show in east London. He sez,
Further to the tale of how I soul-searched, and crowd-sourced to revitalise my career - I'm launching a unique new monthly variety show in London.Full details of the opening night line-up
The best performers from the glory days of light entertainment and the dangerous years of alternative comedy, plus the current stars of cabaret will - for the first time - share the same bill and create a series of unique, one-night-only line-ups. In addition to this, every month we'll invite an old hand - a star of their world - a master of their craft - or just someone I particularly love - to perform and then sit down with me for a live on stage interview about their life, career and influences. And in association with SoundsWilde and the British Comedy Guide, we'll be recording the whole thing for release as a podcast.
It's a love letter to the people who inspired me, and who have kept variety alive in the workingmens clubs, comedy venues, festival stages and streets around the world, and I couldn't be more excited about some of the guests I'll be having the pleasure of introducing. In the coming months we'll have some of the most thrilling, astonishing and spectacular acts you've ever seen, not to mention some household names giving you a glimpse into the life of a performer, and a few of the up and coming talents who are helping to spearhead the resurgence of variety. You can expect everyone from Royal Variety show veterans, to street performers, to TV stars. Each night is truly going to be something special.
(Thanks, Mat!)

Bell County is a county located in the U.S. state of Kentucky. As of the 2010 census, the population was 28,691. Its county seat is Pineville. The county was formed August 1, 1867, from parts of Knox and Harlan Counties and augmented from Knox County in 1872.

judithael Review
Very nice ottoman/bench
We needed an ottoman for our Florida home, and i had been looking for quite awhile. This one is perfect for our needs. The color is a light beige and looks very nice with the dark legs. It came fully assebled in just a couple of days and seems sturdy. It will also work as a bench or coffee table.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? The cushion is definitely not white. It is light beige. I knew either color would work for us.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. The quality is quite good.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Other than the color, very good.

This little blogger is off on holiday. I'm away on my summer holidays for three weeks and will be back towards the end of August.
I would like to say that August will be quiet because the political classes across Europe head to the beaches. But then it never is. August 1914 and when Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait in August 1990 spring to mind.
So, see you later this month when the world will probably be a slightly different place.

Riad Al Faras is a traditional Moroccan house, located in the Medina (old city) of Marrakech close to the Jemaa el Fna Square and the Souks (local market).

The helpful staff at the guesthouse will be happy to organise a range of activities on your behalf such as cooking lessons and painting.
Airport transfers can be arranged if required. Prior notification is essential.
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
We stayed 2 nights in the riad. It is close to the big square and therefore a good place to stay if you want to sleep in the medina! The people are really friedly as well. The last night of our stay in marocco we desided to book a hotel in de newer part of the city. This is more modern.
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
After we had been introduced in this weird world of Marrakesh en somehow managed to get rid of our car we entered this oasis in the middle of the jewish part of the medusa.
A place to get at rest, with lovely people who manage it. We were in the best of both worlds - within 2 minutes of wandering!
If we go there again we will book at the same riad - precious!
Geert and Nettie
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
Nice breakfast, very nice people, good bed en very nice shower!
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
Beautiful Riad, only 2 minutes walk from the main square, although a little tricky to find the first time. Lovely comfortable rooms, friendly and helpful staff, good breakfast. Small swimming pool was great after a hot day. Credit card machine wasn't working when we visited, so best to check this before you need to pay. The acoustics in the courtyard mean it can be a bit noisy sometimes, so earplugs might be a good idea.
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
a great place to stay, close to everywere! staff is really friendly and tells u all u have to known!

text: ...but did you know this? Clint Murchison had a backup plan in case Redskins owner George Preston Marshall did not blink over the rights to "Hail to the Redskins." A man named Bobby Baker was hired to be a deal broker with a powerful Senator named Estes Kefauver. (Do not make this political when you respond please.) The deal involved Baker delivering $25,000 to Kefauver who was the chairman of the Senate committee overseeing monopolies. George Preston Marshall had a monopoly in the south with his Redskins Television Network. He did not want any other team below the famed Mason - Dixon line. Hence the original words to the Redskins fight song saying "fight for old dixie" where they now say "fight for old DC." Bobby Baker sought the assurance that the anti-monopoly committee of the Senate would look closely at the Redskins monopoly. Well, amazingly the committee did notice the Redskins and surprise, surprise (wink, wink) they did find them to be a monopoly. $25,000 will make things happen in those days. Marshall hoped to delay the Cowboys entry for 1 year, mentioning in fact that the 1960 NFL Draft was already past and the Cowboys couldn't Draft to build their team. Tex Schramm pointed out the creation of the AFL having a team in Dallas. The NFL had to have a team in 1960 or they would fail miserably. Marshall's kingdom was being attacked from every angle and he had nothing left to fight with. He bought back the rights to the fight song, closed down his TV networks, and lost his Monopoly. Do not pass Go, do not collect $200.00. At every possible point of attack, Clint Murchison took the upper hand and won. Okay, so this was a bit underhanded. Clint was no saint. He could be ruthless. The total cost to start the Cowboys, $625,000.00 counting the $25,000.00 assist from a US Senator. Hey, he got back $2500.00 of it from Marshall. He also got the team. The rest is History.

Notts Physio Craig Smith maintains an unwavering enthusiasm for sports medicine 18 years on from his first assignment.
Smith was introduced to professional cricket when he accompanied Mike Gatting's rebels on their tour of South Africa in 1990, a team that featured Notts trio Bruce French, Chris Broad and Tim Robinson who would later help him to find employment at Trent Bridge.
The South African is now in his fifth season with the club having spent time with Lancashire and the South African national team.
"That was my introduction to cricket because I was only into surfing and football at school. We played a little bit of cricket but surfing was the most important thing to me at the weekends," said Smith.
"Eighteen months after the Gatting tour, South Africa were back in international sport and they put a tour to India together in two days. They needed a physio and I was available to get on the plane and travel and that was my way in."
South Africa made a bold impression on world cricket and Smith was a vital part of the team that helped the Proteas to victory in the ICC Knockout Trophy in Bangladesh in 1998.
"I remember when Dale Benkenstein broke a bone in his foot and he was desperate to play in the final," recalls Smith.
"In that situation, a player will undertake any procedure to get fit. We worked with him for 24 hours a day for four days to get him fit for the match and he played a crucial innings and helped us to win the tournament. That gave me a lot of satisfaction.
"When a patient comes into the clinic, it's difficult to develop a rapport. In a sporting environment, you get to know the guys and learn how to manage the. Some of them need to be mollycoddled and some of them need the rough stuff. You learn a lot about their mentality and a big aspect of physiotherapy is to massage their confidence and frame of mind as much as their soft tissue.
"I finished with SA in 2002 and took six months off. I'd done 11 years with them and hadn't put roots down anywhere and they wanted to make changes to the staff. The coach left and I did as well and I spent some time taking stock and planning my next move."
Smith didn't have to wait long for offers. With more and more of his compatriots plying their trade in England, Lancashire came calling.
"I had a lot of contacts in the game and an opportunity came up with Lancashire," he said.
"I spent a year there and we lost our final game of the season at Trent Bridge in 2003 when I bumped into Tim Robinson. I left Lancs and went back to South Africa and Robbo called to express an interest on behalf of Mick Newell.
"I didn't want to rush back into cricket but I came across to get a feel for the club and liked what I saw. I settled well and decided to start a business and became a consultant rather than an employee. It works well and the club are happy because nothing has really changed.
"I'm constantly looking to improve things and my company has put a physio in at Derbyshire and we've recruited Kevin Paxton who is our fitness and conditioner at Notts. I want to establish a private practice, continue to contract physios to professional clubs and run education courses in England and South Africa whilst maintaining my commitment to Notts.
"Sportsmen always want to get better quickly and enthusiastic patients make physios look good. I like the dressing room environment because it gives me an opportunity to treat patients but also to manage their rehabilitation for the good of the team. You can't just push them out of the door all of the time because even if they want to play, they could risk further damage and that's where experience comes in."

When you think about drinking water, do you ask yourself, "Nottled or tap?" Or, do you find yourself thinking, "strawberry, grape, carbonated or sparkling?" As flavored, fizzy and enhanced waters flood the market, are these added elements actually training our tastes away from regular old H2o? And, is it good for you?
Jennifer Brody says her kids think regular water is boring, and when she packs a plain bottle of water in her daughter's lunch, it comes back full.
"It doesn't have any flavor to it," said Lilly Brody.
"It's very bland and has no taste whatsoever," added her brother, Jacob Brody.
Both siblings prefer fruity drops and powders to give their water pizzazz. Even their mom is a fizzy water fan. So if you find yourself preferring flavors or water with a little carbonated kick, could you actually be training yourself "not" to like regular water?
"We're absolutely fooling our taste buds into craving and almost requiring in some cases a flavoring or a particular sensation when it comes to carbonation," warned Endocrinologist Dr. Joseph Pinzone.
Pinzone says his patients tell him they're drinking more flavored and sparkling water now than ever before.
"It is allowing them to form habits which actually affect the brain and how we crave things," he said.
Pinzone explains people also crave variety. And right now, the water market is gushing with options. The American Beverage Association says the trends are all about choice and customizing water to suit your palate. Twenty percent of households that buy bottled water also buy "liquid flavor enhancers."
"Innovation is really driving the industry right now," said Susan Neely with the American Beverage Association.
But are all these 21st century water innovations healthy? We found some are loaded with sugar. Vitamin Water power-c contains 32 grams and packs a 120-calorie punch in twenty ounces. And some zero calorie options contain artificial sweeteners. But in the flavored water future you may see more natural enhancers.
"You've got food technologists looking at different ways to put sweeteners together. Some new ones with the old ones," said Neely.
Experts say specialty waters can be a tasty treat, but add that you shouldn't give up "old faithful", good old water. The key is moderation.
"If you're drinking any single drink once or in small amounts its unlikely to have major health risks to you," said Pinzone.
Jennifer Brody says flavored and sparkling water options won't become water under the bridge at her house, but she will continue to promote the plain stuff too.
"I don't anything really can replace the value of water," she said.
If you're looking to kick a flavored or fizzy water habit, experts say try mixing a piece of fruit with regular water to give it some zest.

All in the Family
Part 3: About six months later, Corisande VII set off as good as new. Better put, she was as good as old.
By Kim Kavin — August 2004
Meanwhile, Drummond and New York City-based interior designer David Kleinberg saw to every detail in the interior. "We didn't want it to be about the fabrics and the pattern and the color," Kleinberg recalls, "but more about the quality of the craftsmanship of the boat."
They ripped out the galley's parquet floors and installed teak and mahogany. ("Sometimes when you get a lot of teak and holly, it's like too much chocolate," Drummond says.) They added a collapsible mahogany mast on the flying bridge. They removed the boat's heavily tinted windows. They added faux wainscoting with mahogany accents in the pilothouse, where the formerly Formica helm is now inlaid teak. For silver accents and vases, they used old family sailing and tennis trophies.
Drummond did allow himself a Sharp flat-panel TV in the saloon, but he's thinking about covering it with tambour doors. "It's just too new-looking," he laments.
Drummond says his favorite touches are in the master cabin aft, including varnished mahogany headboards on the twin berths ("I sort of copied this from a Trumpy," he admits) and a unique light fixture. "The decorator kept sending those mirrored rectangular lights you usually have in a bathroom or a bedroom, but we made this box that covers the interior of the light, a three-sided box with the light coming underneath. That was my idea, and it's one of the things that goes back to building it as if Mr. Huckins and I had collaborated on the boat."
About six months later, Corisande VII set off as good as new. Better put, she was as good as old.
She got lots of smiles while doing The Great Loop last summer—and one snarl from a boater in Alabama who called her "pretentious." That guy probably wouldn't appreciate the original owner's manual Drummond still keeps in the pilothouse, or the feeling of satisfaction he has no matter where Corisande VII ties up for the night.
"All the other boats around us, they look like large pieces of plastic to me. They look like boats you should iron something with," Drummond says with a smile. "And mine may be the least expensive boat on the dock."

Malioboro is the name of one of the three-way streets in the city of Yogyakarta, which stretches from Tugu Yogyakarta up to the intersection of Post Office in Yogyakarta. Overall Mangkubumi consists of Prince Road, Jalan Malioboro and Jalan Jend. A. Yani. This road is the axis of Imaginary Lines Sultan's Palace.
There are several historic objects in the area three roads include Tugu Yogyakarta, Tugu Station, Great House, Market Beringharjo, Fortress and Monument Vredeburg Monumen Serangan Oemoem 1 Maret.
Jalan Malioboro is very popular with the street vendors who peddle crafts typical jogja and Lesbian stalls at night selling food jogja typical warm and well-known as a gathering place of artists-artists who often express their capabilities like playing music, painting, hapening art, mime and others along this road.
This road formed into a trading locality after Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono I developed a means of trading through a traditional market since 1758. After over 248 years, the place was still survive as a trade area even be one of the icon known as the Malioboro Yogyakarta.
Located about 800 meters from the sultan's palace, this place was once filled with a bouquet of flowers every time the Kingdom implement celebration. Malioboro, which in Sanskrit means "garland" the basis for naming the road.
Flanked by shops, offices, restaurants, hotels and historic buildings, streets that used to struggle when he became the basis of the Dutch military aggression to-2 in 1948 was also the land odyssey of the artists who are members of the community Persada Studies Club (PSK)-led artists Landu pennant Paranggi since the 1970's until around 1990.
Enjoy the experience of shopping, souvenir hunting of Jogja, tourists can walk along the shoulder of the road which berkoridor (arcade). Here you will find many vendors that hold merchandise. Ranging from local handicrafts such as batik, rattan ornament, leather puppets, bamboo crafts (key chains, decorative lamps, etc.) also blangkon (hat typical Java / Yogyakarta) and silver goods, to merchants who sell a lot of knick knacks general found in other trading places. Throughout the arcade, tourists can shop in peace in a sunny or rainy conditions, also can enjoy a pleasant shopping experience at bargain prices. If lucky, can be reduced for a third or even half.
Do not forget to leave little energy. There is still a traditional market that should be visited. In the place known as Beringharjo market, in addition, tourists can find similar goods are sold along the arcade, this market provides a variety of traditional products is more complete.

This place will satisfy your shopping desires unique items with a cheaper price.
As the sun began to set, when the lights lit streets and shops began adding to the beauty of the atmosphere of Malioboro, one by one stall lesehan were held. Jogja typical food such as warm or pecel catfish can be enjoyed here in addition to oriental cuisine or sea food and cuisine of Padang. And entertainment hits or memorable songs by the other street when dining.
For tourists who want to taste the cuisine along Malioboro street, ask for price list and make sure the seller, to avoid the rising prices are not fair.
Visiting Yogyakarta, known as "Living Museum Javanese Culture", was not complete without a stop at the road that has many historical stories of struggle to save the Indonesian nation and filled with various souvenirs. A paradise for lovers of history and souvenir hunters

The latest in a string of successful court challenges to college "free speech zones" is unfolding in Virginia.
The Virginia Community College System has agreed to suspend its student demonstrations policy in response to a lawsuit filed by a Thomas Nelson Community College student who was barred from preaching on campus. Both sides have asked a federal judge in Norfolk to put the case on hold until May 2 while a new policy and settlement details are negotiated.
Judicial history and recent legislative developments suggested student Christian Parks had a good chance of prevailing. Over the last dozen years, several similar policies establishing restrictive speech zones at public colleges have been invalidated by courts or changed by officials to settle First Amendment complaints.

Spotlight on Tsuyonobu Hatazawa
Tsuyonobu Hatazawa joined Nexeon as Chief Technology Officer in August 2013, following a long career in battery development including at Sony in Japan. He now divides his time between Nexeon's Oxfordshire and Tokyo offices.
Here he reflects on his first few months in the job.
What are your first impressions of Nexeon after your first few months?
There any many excellent scientists and engineers working at Nexeon to optimise our state of the art silicon material technology, and with a view to achieving volume commercialisation as soon as possible. Nexeon is a company with a strong and broad capability. I see evidence of high performance from every point of view.
What makes Nexeon different to other businesses you have worked in?
Nexeon is different in that we are working on some of the really basic scientific issues with the potential to make a huge difference to all our lives. Rechargeable battery development is one of the major areas left that can make a big difference, from consumer electronics to renewable energy storage. We're working on parts of the value chain from raw materials through to battery architecture, and building useful IP and know-how in the process.
What lessons had you learned from your previous experience that you were able to apply to this role?
It is really important to have an effective and open way to share information. Oftentimes, inconvenient data are not shared as quickly as good, and yet contain important information that can impact future direction. At Nexeon we have a very open culture of continuous learning in which information is shared among the team quickly. Large companies can sometimes lose their vector, and smaller ones are faster to react. I believe we are very fast to react and to take decisions; everyone has their clear responsibilities.
What are your intentions for the next stage of development, or the future direction of the technology?
Silicon used in battery anodes has great potential to achieve a high energy density but has issues with expansion and contraction. Nexeon materials are unique and have performance advantages to overcome these issues. Silicon is also quite reactive with the organic materials commonly found in electrolytes. Nexeon is working with its world-leading electrolyte partners and addressing this issue. Nexeon has surprisingly good collaborative relationships with cathode, binder and electrolyte companies. By optimising materials to work together we will achieve higher performance and accelerate commercialisation.
Do you have a personal vision for the technology or for Nexeon's role in the industry?
I can see a range of materials and a roadmap to meet customer needs over the coming years. I envisage a similar evolution to that I experienced with carbon anode materials. It is exciting to have the opportunity to influence direction and be part of bringing silicon anodes to market. We have several options on material morphology and manufacturing processes and we have a strong IP portfolio. We plan to scale-up manufacturing ourselves with the help of our manufacturing partner Wacker Chemie.
How would you describe your strategy?
Our silicon technology features nano-sized pillar structures that are robust to the physical volume changes seen during charging and discharging batteries. Optimising silicon together with electrolytes and binders is a sound strategy. We are well on our way to addressing electrode expansion issues using our silicon materials, and improvements in electrolyte and binder stability will address lithium efficiency and enable new batteries with even longer charge-discharge cycle lifetimes.
How will you protect your proprietary materials from being copied?
In addition to the clear benefits of greater charge density leading to battery designs with longer time between charge and higher performance for their size, we should say that our IP covers a broad range of different structures and we continue to add to our IP patent portfolio. We therefore expect to be able to protect our commercial activities way into the future. With the range of materials we are developing we are working on tailoring our materials for specific applications such as smartphones, tablets or automotive battery packs.
What do you feel you have brought to technology development at Nexeon?
Our well-thought out IP and technical strategy and our highly talented scientists and engineers are wonderful assets, and I am enjoying the process of bringing my industrial battery development experience to help guide Nexeon on the path to greater success.

Butterworth, Eastern Cape - A man's body was found near the Gcuwa dam, in Butterworth, on Friday morning, Eastern Cape police said.
Captain Jackson Manatha said it was found by Mnquma Municipal workers on duty near the dam.
His clearly visible injuries indicated that he had been "severely" beaten, Manatha said.
"It seems like he was kidnapped with a vehicle and dropped there, as there are no houses near that dam."
Manatha said the man was found half-naked. He had an earring in his right ear. Police had opened a murder case. - Sapa

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Apple Inc has spent nearly three years fighting its rivals in a global smartphone patent war. Now, setbacks in two key U.S. court cases are laying bare why a drawn-out battle could be bad news for the iPhone maker.
Apple Inc has spent nearly three years fighting its rivals in a global smartphone patent war. Now, setbacks in two key U.S. court cases are laying bare why a drawn-out battle could be bad news for the ...
I haven't reported much on the "Smartphone Patent Wars" over the last couple years, not because it isn't an important and newsworthy development in international trade but instead simply because patent/trade law is highly arcane (yes, even more arcane than trade remedies) and there are so many different disputes that it's really, really difficult to keep track of the issue.
NEW YORK: Microsoft Corp and Google Inc have agreed to bury all patent infringement litigation against each other, the companies announced on Wednesday, settling 18 cases in the United States and Germany. In another sign of the winding down of the global smartphone wars, the companies said the deal puts an end to court fights involving a variety of technologies, including mobile phones, wifi, and patents used in Microsoft's Xbox game consoles and other Windows products.
A US court on Thursday rejected Apple's request to revive its bid for a sales ban on Samsung's Galaxy Nexus smartphone, dashing the iPhone maker's attempt to recover leverage in global patent wars.
Admiral Karl Donitz:
The overwhelming superiority achieved by the enemy defence was finally proved beyond dispute in the operations against the next two convoys, SC 130 and HX 239. The convoy escorts worked in exemplary harmony with the specially trained 'support groups'.
Apple Inc and HTC Corp announce a global patent settlement and 10-year licensing agreement that ends one of the first major conflagrations of the smartphone patent wars.

SECTION A (Reading comprehension – 20 MARKS)
Q1. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions based on that.
Our house is filled with photos. They cover the walls of my kitchen, dining room and den. I see our family's entire history, starting with my wedding, continuing through the births of both sons, buying a home, family gatherings and vacations. When my sons were little, they loved to pose. They waved, danced, climbed trees, batted balls, hung upside down from the jungle gym and did anything for a picture. But when they reached adolescence, picture-taking changed into something they barely tolerated. Their bodies were growing at haphazard speeds. Reluctantly they stood with us or with their grandparents at birthday celebrations and smiled weakly at the camera for as short a time as possible.
I am the chronicler of our photographs. I select those to be framed and arrange the others in albums. The process is addictive, and as the shelves that hold our albums become fuller and fuller, I wonder what will become of them. Will anyone look at these photographs in future years? If my sons look at them, what will they think of us and of themselves? One bright afternoon, I took some photographs of my father with my husband as they fished in a lake near our vacation house. As my sons and I sat on the shore and watched them row away, I picked the camera up and photographed the beautiful lake surrounded by green trees. The two men I loved gradually grew smaller until all I could see were my father's red shirt, and the tan and blue caps on their heads.
l My father died a week later, and suddenly those photos became priceless to me. I wept when I pasted them in our album. I wept again afterwards when I saw my younger son looking at them. It was a few days before he went away to college. He had taken all our albums down from the bookshelves in the den and spread them out on the carpet. It had been a very long time since I had seen him doing this. Once he stopped posing for pictures, he seemed to lose interest in looking at them. But now he was on the verge of leaving home. This was his special time to look ahead and look back. I stood for a moment in the hall by the den, and then tiptoed away. I didn't take a photo of my son that afternoon, but I will remember how he looked for as long as I live. Some pictures, I learned, don't have to be taken with a camera.
1. Fill in the summary using one word only. (1×4= 4 marks)
The author was (a) _____________about taking photographs and framing them. But she always (b) ___________ whether her sons would ever look at them. She was full of (c) ___________ when she pasted the pictures of her father's last days in the album. She learnt that some pictures always (d) _________in one's mind without a camera.

- one who records events in order (para 2)
- very valuable (para 3)
- continued engagement with an activity (para 2)
Q2. Read the following passage carefully. (5 marks)
Papaya is the healthiest fruit with a list of properties that is long and exhaustive. Papaya favours digestion as well as cures skin irritation and sun burns. You can munch on it as a salad, have it cooked or boiled or just drink it up as milkshake or juice. The most important of these virtues is the protein-digesting enzyme in the milky juice or latex. The enzyme is similar to pepsin in its digestive action and is said to be so powerful that it can digest 200 times its own weight in protein. It assists the body in assimilating the maximum nutritional value from food to provide energy and body-building materials. Papain in raw papaya makes up for the deficiency of gastric juice and fights excess of unhealthy mucus in the stomach, dyspepsia and intestinal irritation. The ripe fruit, if eaten regularly corrects habitual constipation, bleeding piles and chronic diarrhea The juice of the papaya seeds also assists in the above-mentioned ailments. The juice, used as a cosmetic, removes freckles or brown spots due to exposure to sunlight and makes the skin smooth and delicate. A paste of papaya seeds is applied in skin diseases like those caused by ringworm. The black seeds of the papaya are highly beneficial in the treatment of cirrhosis of the liver caused by alcoholism, malnutrition, etc. A tablespoonful of its juice, combined with a hint of fresh lime juice, should be consumed once or twice daily for a month. The fresh juice of raw papaya mixed with honey can be applied over inflamed tonsils, for diphtheria and other throat disorders. It dissolves the membrane and prevents infection from spreading.
Answer the following questions by selecting the most appropriate options from the ones given below:
(a) One of the most important virtues of pepsin is that: (i) it is found in papaya. (ii) it can digest large quantities of protein. (iii) it cures constipation. (iv) it can treat a damaged liver.
(b) Intestinal irritation can be overcome by: (i) eating ripe papaya salad. (ii) drinking papaya juice. (iii) eating raw papaya. (iv) chewing the seeds of the fruit.
(c) Throat disorders can be cured if: (i)one applies honey and the juice of a raw papaya on it. (ii) one drinks the juice of a raw papaya. (iii) one eats ripe papaya mixed with honey. (iv) one drinks the juice of ripe papaya with honey.
(d) 'The juice can be used as a cosmetic' means: (i) the juice has medicinal properties. (ii) the juice can be used to rectify physical defects. (iii) the juice can be used to treat internal diseases. (iv) the juice can be used to make the skin look more attractive
(e) The fact that papaya is a versatile fruit is evident from: (i) the fact that it can be drunk as a milkshake. (ii) the fact that it can be eaten as a salad, cooked, boiled or just drunk. (iii) the fact that its seeds can be applied on the skin. (iv) the fact that it can be eaten, drunk and also used externally.

Campaigining for standards adoption shouldn't really be a bone of contention. It benefits everyone.
I was just trying to expand your thinking but from your statement you are taking concrete steps to get what you want outside of Amazon which I think is a good thing.
Could the fact that Amazon was selling DRM free music part of the push that was necessary for Apple to go DRM free as well? It may take competition from an outside source to get Amazon to change it's stance (or maybe just time).

The comedian reveals on his late-night show that he made the fake YouTube video with stuntwoman Daphne Avalon about two months ago.
After the "Worst Twerk Fail EVER - Girl Catches Fire" video went viral, Jimmy Kimmel stepped out to reveal that it's a hoax. On his ABC show Monday night, September 9, the comedian admitted that he's the mastermind behind the prank, which sees a woman catching fire after falling when twerking upside down.
Kimmel initially invited the girl, known as Caitlin Heller, to be a guest and said he got the full unedited version of the video, which shows what happens after the twerk fail. As it turns out, the "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" host is the one who comes to the girl's rescue and extinguishes the fire on her pants.
The 45-year-old then said he and his team made the video two months ago, but didn't not post it on the show's YouTube page or promote it in any way. It just "let the magic happen," he said. Caitlin isn't a real name either, since the girl in the video is actually stuntwoman Daphne Avalon.
"Even though the video was fake, that did not stop hundreds of news outlets from showing it. Some people even blamed Miley Cyrus, as if this was her fault," Kimmel added. He then showed a montage of several TV shows which reported on the twerk fail, saying at the end of it, "Good thing nothing is happening in Syria right now." He also told Avalon, "Thank you for helping us deceive the world and hopefully put an end to twerking forever."

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
Many English families tired of political and religious strife left Britain for the new colonies in North America. Although the trip itself offered no relief - conditions on the ships were extremely cramped, and many travelers arrived diseased, starving, and destitute - these immigrants believed the opportunities that awaited them were worth the risks. Once in the colonies, many of the families did indeed prosper and, in turn, made significant contributions to the culture and economies of the growing colonies. An inquiry into the early roots of North American families has revealed a number of immigrants bearing the name Cromwil or a variant listed above: Giles Cromwell who settled in Newbury in 1648; John Cromwell settled in Boston in 1652; Samuel Cromwell settled in North America in 1634;, Phillip Cromwell settled there in 1657..

Doug Singh, Belize's former police minister, told Reuters he was at a loss to explain Mr. McAfee's recent comments.
"Mr. McAfee seems to have a bit of a divorce from reality and it seems to be consistent in his behaviour and some of the things he has said recently. He's way out of line and out of proportion. Nobody has anything against Mr. McAfee," Mr. Singh said.
After making millions with his anti-virus product, Mr. McAfee decided to abandon the United States for Belize, a languid coastal paradise. It is a path that has been taken by a number of rich Americans over the years.
He took a beachfront compound on the island's isolated and exclusive north side, 10 kilometers from the town of San Pedro by boat or by driving over badly cratered asphalt and dirt track. It is a world away from California's Silicon Valley, which he once called home.
He took the company public in 1992 and left two years later following accusations that he had hyped the arrival of a virus known as Michelangelo, which turned out to be a dud, to scare computer users into buying his company's products.
Officials at the company he created and its parent, Intel, have declined to comment on the controversy.
But one long-time McAfee manager who recently left said company executives were likely monitoring the news closely. He said they have tracked reports of John McAfee's activities over the years out of concern they might need to do damage control.
A case is already pending in Belize against Mr. McAfee for possession of illegal firearms, and police previously suspected him of running a lab to make illicit synthetic drugs.
But MR. McAfee said this week he was opposed to drugs.
"My life is fucked up enough without drugs, and always has been," Mr. McAfee told Wired magazine.
For all his trouble with authorities, McAfee has worked hard to be the island's benefactor. Upon arriving in Belize he bought a $1-million boat for the country's new coast guard, and donated equipment to the local police force, according to local reports.
He tipped generously everywhere he went, and hired a steady stream of taxis for frequent female guests on the $150 round trip from the small airstrip in San Pedro out to his house.
"Not two or three, a lot of women," said Artemio Awayo, 24, a local waiter. "Every time I saw him it was a different woman."
Those who knew him said he didn't drink and never hung out at the island's many bars. But employees at a restaurant near the pier where Mr. McAfee's water taxi company is based said his actions grew more bizarre following a police raid last April on his mainland hacienda outside the town of Orange Walk.
Even for casual lunches, Mr. McAfee began regularly coming to town with at least two bodyguards, clad in camouflage and each packing pistols, they said.
"Generally, you don't need a bodyguard in Belize," said Jorge Alana, a San Pedro Sun reporter who interviewed Mr. McAfee several times, noting top elected officials don't have them. "It does call attention when you move with so many guards."
Mr. McAfee's home is in a stretch of Ambergris where the wealthiest foreigners hole up. Raw lots of land 30 meters to 61 meters can cost up to $500,000 here. Even modest-looking houses reflect multimillion-dollar investments.
On Thursday afternoon, a 23-year-old calling herself Tiffany used a key to enter Mr. McAfee's home with another young woman and said he had spent Saturday night with them – around the time police said Mr. Faull's murder took place.
They had not spoken to Mr. McAfee since Sunday, she said.
On Friday, an outside light was still on at his beachfront complex, and a dog roamed freely around the grounds.
Like Mr. McAfee, many of his north shore neighbours tend to favour being left alone, rarely coming to town and loath to mix with tourists.
"That's why they come to San Pedro," said Daniel Guerrero, the tour guide and real estate broker now serving as the town's mayor. "They like the quietness. They like the isolation."Report Typo/Error

A MAN who broke his partner's arm by pulling her out of a chair has been jailed for a total of 12 months.
'Binge drinker' William Lowe, 32, who struck within weeks of being given a suspended jail term, left victim Trina Kellett with her arm in plaster and needing pain killers.
He was arrested, and denied causing the injury deliberately, Burnley Crown Court was told.
Lowe, said to have a history of domestic violence involving police call-outs by previous partners, admitted inflicting grievous bodily harm, on April 19.
The defendant, of Queen Street, Clayton-le- Moors, has in the past breached an anti-social behaviour order, and has served time in prison.
Jane Dagnall, prosecuting, said Ms Kellett had had a volatile relationship with the defendant.
But she had never called the police to any previous incident.
Judge Beverley Lunt, who activated the 10 months of the suspended jail sentence, told the defendant he caused a nasty injury.
She told him: "You have to be careful, because you are heading for being declared a dangerous offender if this carries on. When you come out, you have got a clean slate. You need to start behaving."

About the Creator
Higby shoots beneath the surface of street life to reveal people caught up in daily life, often trapped by their circumstances, ill-served by the politics of the times, and rendered mute by a rapidly expanding culture of technological consumption. Higby also captures urban neighborhoods in transition, showing forward thinking, and snaps images of the beauty that lies in the simplicity. It's not just her subjects that pull you in, but her seemingly intuitive, immediate, up close and intimate style, as well as her method of brilliantly linking her photographs together that make this book provocative. Like an ode to the times we live in (the twenty first century), this book is as powerful and and moving tribute.

President Obama is pushing forward with yet another new initiative to make government smart.
President Obama is directing his cabinet to find more efficient, "smarter" ways to run government in his second term just two days after his administration opened the door to widespread fraud in the roll out of health care exchanges this fall.
Obama will focus on progress the administration has already made in three key areas: "Delivering government services better, smarter and faster ... finding ways to reduce waste and save taxpayers money; and ... opening up huge amounts of government data to give entrepreneurs and businesses the ability to create jobs and solve problems."
The push for "smarter" government six months into Obama's second term comes after the administration announced Friday that it would significantly scale back Obamacare's requirements that new insurance marketplaces verify consumers income and health insurance status, as the Washington Post reported Friday.
Let's see, we have smart cars, smart phones, smart cards, smart meters, smart regulations, smart immigration, smart disclosure, smart power, smart energy, smart cyber-security, smart use of technology, smart manufacturing, smart innovation, smart policing, smart growth, smart snacks and smart buildings, yet has being smart fallen by the way side?
Would you believe the entire government seems to lack smart people?
Even after five years of saying the same thing, Obama's administration is still run by a bunch of blooming morons, I guess:
- In his inaugural address in January of 2009, Obama called for a "government that works."
- Then in 2010, he told the graduating class of the University of Michigan, " "So, class of 2010, what we should be asking is not whether we need 'big government' or a 'small government,' but how we can create a smarter and better government."
- Then in 2011, "If we believe the government can make a difference in people's lives," he said, "we have the obligation to prove that it works - by making government smarter, and leaner and more effective...
- "In 2012, in his remarks on government reform, Obama said: "I Ran For Office Pledging To Make Our Government Leaner And Smarter And More Consumer-Friendly." OBAMA: "I ran for office pledging to make our government leaner and smarter and more consumer-friendly. And from the moment I got here, I saw up close what many of you know to be true: The government we have is not the government that we need."
The old, "don't stop believin'" trick.
So here we are in 2013, the President is the target of numerous and despicable scandals, his profligate spending a seeming non-issue for his dwindling supporters, and he comes at us with a BS line that means nothing and is not achievable.
Missed it by that much.
The government that he represents is too obese to be swift at anything, never mind leaner nor more effective. It cannot be done, and this is the argument we have been having with this POTUS for 5 years now. The thing is, he doesn't really care about the nothing words coming out of his mouth, he's buying time and acting busy and seeming interested in addressing an issue, any issue that is not controversial.
The government is out of control in every way, and even though it is too late to remove him by election, it is not too late to study his actions. These techniques are used by every progressive, be they Republican or Democrat to grow the government over concerns it's too big, or too weak, or too engaged, or not engaged enough, or whatever they can get away with saying. Of course we agree the government is not operating in a smart manner, but the answer to that is not to increase government to provide scrutiny over itself, the answer is less government.
The very fact, as the Washington Examiner points out, that he is announcing his ongoing "smart" government right after he admits he can't implement his signature law because it's too complicated shows the impossibility of one fixing the other. If the obese government were just a teensy bit smarter, it would have no problem implementing its obese mandates, right?
But it can't. It's too big! It's too vast, and like an 800 pound human, it cannot function properly, and cannot hardly even breathe.
Americans don't really feel how massive government affects them, until it comes time to pay for it, and that day is fast approaching and in many cases is nigh. For all its wild fake glory, nobody is chomping at the bit to receive Obamacare, and they will not understand the price tag of services they are not receiving, smart or actually otherwise.

An unfortunate thing happened to me this morning. I have an old evaluation of NetNewsWire installed alongside the free version of NetNewsWire Lite which I use(d) extensively on a daily basis. This morning, when using Quicksilver to open NetNewsWire Lite, I accidentally opened the old expired evaluation version of NetNewsWire. For some reason, it overwrote all my NetNewsWire Lite feeds with the default list of feeds that come with the application.
This is very much not a good thing. I'm sure I had well over 100 feeds pertaining to everything that interests me (mostly technology, but also some personal weblogs, watch weblogs, etc.). I have a backup from November that will allow me to recover many of my feeds, but my collection was constantly evolving and being refined, so the last four months of tweaks are gone.
Anyway, enough lamenting. I'm looking at this as an opportunity to start fresh with a new collection of feeds, new organization, and certainly a new aggregator. I really like(d) NetNewsWire, but I don't think I can bring myself to use it again. Additionally, I'm tired or waiting for the 2.0 version just to get Atom support (it's been in beta for a very very long time).
So my first question is what aggregators are Mac users out there using these days? I'm willing to go with either local or web-based. Once I settle on a new aggregator, I will then ask people to post some of their favorite blogs. I'm pretty sure I can have all my old feeds back with a couple of hours of searching and surfing, but I'd like to use this opportunity to find some new, more obscure feeds worth aggregating. That's a question for another time, though. First the aggregator.

We propose a silicon waveguide-fiber grating coupler that uses a subwavelength microstructure to achieve a continuously variable grating strength yet can be fabricated using only a single etch step. By adjusting the subwavelength microstructure at every point along the grating, the grating coupler can be optimized to give high field overlap with the optical fiber mode and also minimize backreflections along the incident waveguide path. Our design example is optimized for quasi-TM mode in a silicon photonic-wire waveguide, as required for waveguide evanescent-field-sensing applications. A field overlap of up to 94% with a standard single-mode optical fiber (SMF-28) is achieved by coupler apodization. Backreflection from the grating is reduced to , and the total predicted photonic wire to fiber coupling efficiency is 50%.
