A Soldier Died - Poem by Jim Milks
In a far away place a solider died
Lay gently upon his grave a sweet bouquet
And somewhere a mother cried
A child grieves for the father that has been denied
Longing for all that has been taken away
In a far away place a solider died
War, a horror that can never be dignified
yet we march off to war again today
And somewhere a mother cried
A cold stone palace where the heroes reside
Where too many have been invited to stay
In a far away place a solider died
All that is left when worlds collide
Is sadness and sorrow and dismay
And somewhere a mother cried
I say to you my brother your memory will not be cast aside
All that you fought for will never be cast astray
In a far away place a solider died
And somewhere a mother cried

I read this a while back and again today it sends a shiver down my motherly spine Jim! Yes! every single loss of life through war, has a terrible affect upon a whole, or family that was whole....I like your villanelle and the form gives grace and power to the feelings of those left behind....I do hope their blood is not spilled in vain greed.

In case you are wondering how to vote on the Kyrene School District and Tempe Union High School District bond overrides, here are some thoughts.
The people who support the overrides say this isn't a tax increase, and in a certain sense that's true, at least at the present time. It replaces current debt with new debt and doesn't raise taxes at this time. However, what it does is extend the indebtedness. The payment on the current debt begins to decline in 2014. So with what is currently in place there will be less demand for taxes because the required debt payments diminish. What this override does is replace the current debt with HIGHER debt that goes out much longer (past 2020), and so there will be no reduction in debt over that time. In that sense, it raises the need for FUTURE property taxes, ESPECIALLY when they start raising property valuations to reflect the recent improvement in the market. It will be a big hit at that point, and will last for years.
Our school districts (KSD and TUHSD) have had declining enrollment for quite a few years now. How do we fill the seats? We bus students in from OUTSIDE the district. We pay property taxes to keep facilities open that we otherwise don't need, for students from outside the district.
The override supporters say not to worry… we get paid for each student we are busing into the district. They are not telling you the whole story. Yes, they get paid an amount for each student that is in class, but that doesn't cover the cost of infrastructure, which is the subject of this override. WE pay to keep schools open that otherwise could not be justified. WE pay the infrastructure costs to keep the facilities functional, and that is a HUGE amount of money coming directly out of our property taxes.
What they really need to do is consolidate into fewer schools and close the ones that thereby become surplus. This will require reducing/eliminating the busing of students from outside the district. If they do that, the total cost of education in KSD/TUHSD would go down, but the quality could be maintained for the taxpayers who live in the district. What we do now is subsidize the cost of education for students from other districts with our tax dollars.
I hope this helps you in your decision about how to vote.

Kristen Kish faces off Brooke Williamson in the finale filmed in front of live audience.
Kristen Kish and Brooke Williamson were battling it out for the champion title in the final showdown of "Top Chef: Seattle". The episode which aired Wednesday, February 27 was filmed before live audience in Los Angeles on February 22.
In the finale, both chefs had to prepare a five-course meal. Kish presented a chicken liver mousse with frisee, mustard, prune, hazelnuts and pumpernickel; citrus and lavender cured scallop with bitter orange, Meyer lemon and apple; bone marrow with celery root puree, mushrooms, bitter greens and radishes; and red snapper with leeks, Little Gem lettuce, tarragon, uni and shellfish nage.
"At the end of the day, my cooking is not super complicated," Kish said of her menu. "My goal for this menu was just to do simple, good, elegant food with precision and excellence, taking simple things like chicken liver moose, bone marrow or a piece of fish and executing them well."
Still, season-four winner Stephanie Izard said Kish had more than enough talent and fire to deserve the win. Kish eventually won over Williamson, whose menu included seared scallop over salt cod puree, vadouvan-fried chicken wings, and a braised pork cheek with crispy red snapper, collard green slaw and sorrel puree.
"I remember hearing my name and turning my back to the judges for what felt like five minutes but what I'm sure was just five seconds to compose myself and take it all in," Kish said after she's announced as the winner. She took home the $125,000 grand prize.
The 28-year-old chef de cuisine was earlier eliminated from the show, but she made her way back into the competition after winning the companion web series "Last Chance Kitchen". Asked if she would open her own restaurant, Kish replied, "Eventually, sure, I don't know."
"I want to let this TV thing settle down in the coming months and see how long I can last without it. I'm lucky and very thankful that I'm working for an amazing woman who inspires me every day," she continued, praising chef Barbara Lynch whom she has worked for. "I want to create my career and sustain my career based off of my talents and abilities, as opposed to being on television."

I think I'm gonna have to change the title of this blog. More and more I'm just talking about lefty stuff. I had a quiet afternoon yesterday so I wrote a bit of a ranty response to the Scottish Government's proposals to raise fees for RUK students. This is it:
On 29th June 2011, Michael Russell, Scottish Cabinet Secretary for Education and Lifelong Learning, made an announcement in Parliament on the future of Higher Education in Scotland. Following that announcement, a consultation document was issued containing more detailed information, and asking for responses until the 2nd September. Anyone can respond to the consultation so feel free to print one off and send it in. The proposal at the moment is to raise the cap on fees for students from the Rest of UK (RUK) so that universities can set their own fees, up to a limit of £9,000 per year.
Russell begins his statement by claiming that Scotland will not follow England by putting an unmanageable debt burden on its graduates, and yet, for around 15% of its graduates, under these plans Scotland will become by far the most expensive place in Europe to study for a degree. He says, and I agree, that "the Scottish election established a clear consensus that tuition fees – upfront or back door – are not the right solution". It was widely suspected during the NUS Reclaim Your Voice campaign that the Scottish Government, whoever won the election, would have to raise fees for English students, but no one was speaking about £9,000 fees. The figures that both Scottish Labour and the SNP were talking about were around £6,500, and I accepted that, albeit uncomfortably. Whilst higher education should be free and funded through a more progressive system of raised income tax, without tax-raising powers the Scottish Government would have to take money from other public services in order to fund university places that should rightly be funded by Westminster.
In both his statement to Parliament, and the consultation document, Mr Russell claims that the main purpose of this proposal is to maintain the current levels of cross-border flow of students, thereby protecting university places for Scottish domiciled students. That is clearly not the case. If Russell's main objective were to keep that flow at the same level, then he would have looked at the situation from the students' perspective, and realised that with a typical 4-year Scottish degree, these proposals will make it much more expensive to come to a Scottish university than to study in England. Even before taking into account an extra year of maintenance loans, a degree in Scotland will cost £36,000, as opposed to £27,000 in England. That contrasts with the action taken in 2006, which kept RUK fees in Scotland lower than fees in England, even taking the 4-year degree into account. Far from merely protecting places for Scottish students, these proposals will reduce the number of RUK students coming to Scotland through aversion to debt, and I don't think that's what was established as the consensus of the election. Clearly Mr Russell's work behind the scenes with Universities Scotland has given him an institutional view which doesn't reflect the reality of decisions that students make when applying to university.
Perhaps most worrying about this statement and accompanying document is Mr Russell's feigned naivety about the level of fees that Scottish universities will charge RUK students. He hopes that the average fee in Scotland would be lower than in England, around £6375 per year. This number is based on pure speculation, and we've seen the effects of such wishful thinking south of the border, where students were told that £9,000 fees would be the exception rather than the rule. That was false in England and it'll turn out to be false here too. The universities where the majority of RUK students go (Edinburgh,Glasgow,St Andrews, etc) see themselves as world-class institutions, and so will charge world-class fees if they're given the opportunity. If Mr Russell is happy with the £62m that a £6375 average fee will raise, then why not set the fee level there rather than allowing Scottish universities to take more money from students' pockets?
Another worrying aspect of these plans is that allowing variable fees will create a market in education and introduce free market forces to the Scottish higher education sector. This is an undesirable aspect of the change south of the border which the Scottish Government should reject on principle, given that it will force some students to choose their university based not on their own ability, nor on the suitability of the course, but on the amount of debt that they will be forced to accrue over the course of their studies. Mr Russell appears to have been turning a blind eye to the fee level announcements at English universities, and assumes that increased competition will drive fee levels down, when in fact as we've seen it has only driven them up.
Interestingly these announcements are characterised as much by what is not present as by what is. There is no mention whatsoever of the effect the new undergraduate fee levels are likely to have on postgraduate fees and international fees. These are unregulated markets, and it seems unlikely that universities will continue to charge £5,000 per year for a postgraduate taught programme whilst undergraduates pay £9,000. That will yet further restrict access to postgraduate education to those who can afford to pay large amounts of money up front.
There is also no acknowledgement of the fact that it appears Scottish students travelling to England to study will be charged up to the full £9,000 per year maximum, forcing students to choose between what may be the most suitable course for them and a large amount of debt. These plans not only fail a significant proportion of graduates in Scotland, but they will also fail those Scottish students who choose to travel to England.
Perhaps the only silver lining to this announcement is the fact that extra revenue from the increased fees will be divided across the whole sector rather than going straight to the universities who take more RUK students, and I welcome the fact that NUS Scotland will have input into those decisions. Whilst this may be less beneficial for institutions such as the University of Edinburgh, it also means that there is much less incentive for an institution to take an RUK student in place of a Scottish student, and it will prevent the gap widening between the 'usual suspects' and other higher education institutions. There are, however, implications for the assumption that universities will charge only £6375. If the increase in fees will replace the current teaching grant, then that fee level will only cover £4,555 of a gap left by a grant ranging from £6,000 to £15,000, depending on subject area. The rest, presumably, will come out of the centralised funds from the current teaching grants, but given the uncertainty around how much each institution will receive from that central pot, institutions will be unwilling to risk receiving less funding for those places than before, and so they'll charge the maximum amount they can.
The proposed changes will create a precedent for a system whereby the Scottish higher education sector will be funded based on free market forces rather than on need. The Parliamentary statement is in my opinion either deliberately misleading in claiming that the fees will maintain the current level of cross-border study, or deliberately naïve in claiming that universities will charge only £6375, and I think Mr Russell should be ashamed of it. A much better policy would be to put fees at a set level around the £6375 mark, make up the rest of the current teaching grant from central funding, and then divide any leftover funds across the whole sector, using some of it to support Scottish students who travel to England to study. That would prevent Scotland from becoming the most expensive country in Europe to get a degree for a large number of its students, it would help to prevent free market forces coming into the Scottish sector, it would maintain current levels of cross-border study, and by Mr Russell's own arithmetic it will raise an extra £62m for the sector. Whilst it will mean that in Mr Russell's terms the policy is not 'future proof', in any case the cap in England has been set at £9,000, so it should never be necessary to raise fees above £6,750 in order to save Scottish places. Regardless, I hardly think that administrative ease should be the basis of a policy which costs students so much.

Rationale of my change a bit earlier.

New page

Updated the page, because it was not working for me with Eclipse 3.4.2... the problem was that I got a core.runtime.CoreException

 "Text editor does not have a document provider"

 originating from:

 org.eclipse.ui.texteditor.AbstractTextEditor.doSetInput(AbstractTextEditor.java:3988)

 When aligning the code with that from:

 http://blog.eclipse-tips.com/2008/06/opening-editor-without-ifile.html

 which does not extent the PlatformObject, and implemented the getAdapter() method itself...

 That made the code work for Eclipse' TextEditor and a local JavaScript editor of Bioclipse.

Dursley U14s 32 Frampton Cotterell U14s 17
Dursley beat Frampton Cottrell in the third round of the County Cup competition.
With the wind at their backs, Dursley spent the majority of the first half camped inside Frampton's half and were rewarded with two tries from captain Tom Viney and a try each from Josh Greenhalgh and Jay Christopher.
Jake Hawkins produced a fine conversion in the wind for a half-time score of 22–0 in Durlsey's favour.
However, in the second half it was Frampton's turn to take advantage of the conditions and they produced two tries early on.
Under continued pressure, it was only one of the individual tries of the season by Robert Dakin, running the ball from inside Dursley's 22 to score under the posts, that helped the home side respond.
In the end both teams scored another try each, Dursley's through hard work from the pack, led by Jack Davis, allowing Dan Fox to crash over the line.

Ouzo is an alcoholic beverage produced and widely consumed in Greece. There are several views about the origin of the name. It is believed that the name comes from the phrase "uso Massalia" meaning "for use in Massalia". A company exported a drink in Massalia. The above sentence appeared on the cases of the exportable batch. The phrase became synonymous with good quality of ouzo. The word "Massalia" was later abandoned and the word uso = ouzo hereinafter characterized the drink.

Shrien Dewani has again been accused of masterminding the murder of his bride Anni – by a hitman sentenced to 25 years in jail.
A confession, this time by hitman Mziwamadoda Qwabe in the Western Cape High Court, follows the claim by the couple's driver, Zola Tongo, that Dewani had pulled the strings to get Anni killed.
Tongo is serving an 18-year sentence after a plea bargain with the State. Prosecuting authorities said Qwabe's confession strengthens the State's case with new information on the role played by Dewani in his wife's death in November 2010.
Qwabe was sentenced to 25 years in a plea bargain agreement.
"The agreement gives us new information on what happened on that night when Anni Dewani was killed," Western Cape National Prosecuting Authority spokesman, Eric Ntabazalila, said. "It confirms that [her husband] Shrien Dewani was part of the plan... it also tells us Xolile Mngeni was the one who did the shooting."
Ashok Hindocha, Anni's uncle, says they still need answers from Shrien and Xolile Mngeni, who were both in the car with her on the night she was murdered.
Anni was murdered in Cape Town on November 13, 2010, while on honeymoon with her husband.
Dewani, who is alleged to have hired hitmen to kill his wife, is still in England, fighting extradition to South Africa to stand trial for her murder.
Hindocha's call for answers from Dewani and Mngeni is after a surprising twist on Wednesday, when Qwabe, one of the accused, pleaded guilty to the crime and was sentenced to 25 years behind bars.
Hindocha said afterwards: "I would say the case is moving forward, but it has been 21 months of legal torture.
"There were five people in the car (when Anni was murdered). We have not heard from the two others. We need more answers."
He added that they needed to know why Anni had to give up her life.
Hindocha said he was disappointed with the treatment of Dewani's health.
"It is strange that after 21 months there has been no progress in his health and there has been no extra effort to seek another doctor.
"We are waiting for answers from all four accused and all the witnesses; only then can we find closure."
Qwabe pleaded guilty and was sentenced to five years for kidnapping, 15 years for robbery with aggravating circumstances, 25 years for murder and five years for the illegal possession of a firearm.
The robbery, kidnapping and firearm sentence will run concurrently with the 25-year sentence.
Judge John Hlophe said Qwabe would not be eligible for parole before two-thirds of his 25 years had been served.
In his plea agreement, Qwabe admitted to taking part in the conspiracy and to executing the plan for a fee of R15 000.
He and Mngeni agreed to meet taxi driver Tonga in Gugulethu on the evening of November 13, 2010, and waited for a call from Tongo, when he left the hotel – at the V&A Waterfront where the Dewanis were staying – at about 7.30pm.
Tongo did not call at 7.30pm – only at 8.15pm, saying they were leaving the hotel only then. Qwabe said he received another call from Tongo later to say Dewani wanted the job to be done on the same Saturday.
"When Tongo arrived at the predetermined place, Mngeni and I were in position."
They approached the car and Mngeni, who had a gun, pointed it at Tongo and ordered them out of the car. Tongo got out and climbed into the passenger seat, Qwabe got into the driver's seat and Mngeni in the front passenger seat.
His confession corroborates Tongo's version of events. He, too, claimed that Dewani was the mastermind behind his wife's murder and hired them to kill her.
Qwabe said that after dropping Dewani, they drove along Mew Way, Khayelitsha.
"While I was driving the vehicle, Mngeni shot and killed [Anni]. He was seated in the front passenger seat at the time he fired the single shot."
He added that he parked the car at the side of the road, which is when Mngeni started looking for the bullet casing.
Qwabe admitted robbing Anni of her Giorgio Armani wristwatch, white gold and diamond bracelet, a handbag and BlackBerry – all estimated to be worth R90 000.
Ntabazalila said outside court on Wednesday the NPA was satisfied with the case. "We are pleased with the outcome, getting us close to getting justice for Anni Dewani and her family.
"Today's confession provides us with information we didn't have before. The information we previously had was as far as Tongo getting out of the car.
"What we heard in the past was only from the police and Tongo, but now we understand who did the shooting."
Mngeni is expected to appear in court for pre-trial on Monday.

Getting rid of the Binky... Advice Appreciated!
I desperately need to get my toddler (2 1/2) off his binkies. I've been wanting to do it for a long time, but we've had a couple big moves in the last year and I've just not been up to the task I guess. He is extremely dependent on them at naptime and bedtime... Refuses to go to sleep unless he has TWO, one for his mouth and one to hold/twirl around in his hands. He is not allowed to have them at all during the day though (I have to keep them on top of the fridge during that time).
I'm pregnant with our 4th, and just want this to be over and done well before baby comes (due in July). After the binky goes, then I have to work on keeping him asleep and in his own bed all night! I think it will be easier once he's not waking up freaking out over not being able to find one or both of his binkies lol (which he does almost every night at some point... it's a little ridiculous).
Anyway... advice would be great! I've never had this problem with my other kids... they all gave up binkies early and easily. This boy's a little more challenging ;)
I am pregnant with my 5th, my guy has them in the car when tired and in bed otherwise he doesnt have binkies at all but he refuses to sleep otherwise. I HATE them, he turns 3 end of April.
I hope to have him weaned by his birthday SIGH
Ugh... Sounds like we're in similar situations :/ It would be so much easier if he would just give them up on his own lol.
Quoting tabi_cat1023:

If you want a person to give up a habit you must replace it with something else. You can encourage sippy cups with water, toys, playing with you for during the times he doesn't need them for comfort. While he's falling asleep encourage something else in his hands and stay with him until he falls asleep so he's less likely to need the comfort of binky. If you're gonna give new baby one be prepared for regression and binky stealing. If all this sounds like a lot of work then consider holding off for a while and just continue to limit them to when he asks.
I agree with the above. This is how we did it with our binky baby.
I donno from experience though, sorry.
Each day cut off more of the pacifier and eventually he will get annoyed at how different it feels and hopefully stop. I hear that method works the best.
A friend gave her son those snuggly blankets with a teether attached.. good luck!

Will Power made a great start to his quest to win this month's Indianapolis 500 by topping the timesheets in opening day practice on Sunday.
The Queenslander completed 82 laps of the iconic 2.5 mile (4.02km) speedway reaching the day's top speed of 223.057 miles per hour (358.9km/h).
The Indy 500 remains one of the major sporting events in the world not won by an Australian.
Power, who has 22 wins as an IndyCar driver, has a best finish of fifth in 2009 at the Indy 500.
The 33-year-old goes into this year's race with a one point championship lead over Andretti Autosport's Ryan Hunter-Reay and believes 2014 could be his time at the "Brickyard".
"I really feel it is time to have a good Indy 500 finish, I really do," he said.
"With the things that have happened over the last few years, I feel it's time to have a good finish - which is a win."
Power's main obstacle in years past has been his less-than-stellar form on oval circuits.
A dominant force in the IndyCar's road course formats, Power only has two race wins on the American-style speedways.
With the Indy 500 being the first oval course race of the season, Power admitted the lengthy build-up to the event will be crucial.
"It's a lot different," he said.
"The way you race here is a lot different with the drafting. It's pretty close quarters all the time.
"We did a bit of race work today. I think it's important to get some race stuff in because you get to the end of the week and you just think about qualifying, which pays big points too, so you have to be pretty on it for that."
Compatriot Ryan Briscoe begun preparations for his ninth Indy 500 with 15 laps on Sunday, notching a top speed of 219.745 miles an hour (353.57km/h).
The third Australian in the Indy 500 field, Victorian James Davison, is yet to hit the track.
Due to a limited budget, the KV Racing Technology driver won't run his first practice laps until Thursday's session ahead of his debut performance in the 500-mile race.
"It's been my childhood dream to race in and win the Indy 500," third-generation racer Davison said.
"I have had to work very hard and persevere to get here with KV Racing Technology. Finally, it's arrived and I have a fantastic opportunity with the reigning Indianapolis 500 champion team.
"I feel I have the best of chances to do well."
The Indy 500 practice continues until Friday before qualifying gets underway on Saturday.
The 98th Indianapolis 500 will be run on Monday (AEST).

There comes a time when a baseball manager must tend to his flock like a shepherd, gently leading those who are young.
And sometimes not so gently, as, apparently Ron Washington's spirited half-hour team meeting after Tuesday's blowout loss to the Angels that sent the Rangers to their 19th loss in 22 games.
The manager even acknowledged that time will tell if the the postgame conclave will have the effect of inspiring like Billy Graham or an 8 a.m. philosophy class lecture.
At issue, the manager said, hasn't been effort, but rather the commitment to playing the game right as game situations develop, such as hitting to the right side to advance a runner from second to third.
As Washington often reminds, "You can do everything right in this game and not get the results you're looking for."
"I can live with it when you try to do things right," said Washington, who said he was still fired up. "That's not failure because there's no perfection in this game.
"If you're doing the right thing more times than not you're going to get the results you're looking for."
A miffed Washington gave a hint as to what his message was in his postgame remarks on Thursday, pointing out that Adrian Beltre "comes to the ballpark … to do his job and win ballgames. It doesn't matter the situation, doesn't matter what's going on … he's locked in. Well, we're trying to get a lot of these other guys locked in like that. It just hasn't happened yet."
Commitment is doing what the game asks you to do, Washington said, "not looking for a reward for what you're supposed to do. That's commitment."
"It's not the first time I've heard that, but there's a lot of guys in here that's the first time they've seen Wash talk," Elvis Andrus said. "It was good for them to realize and see … you have to be here and do things to win games.
"We don't care if you have numbers or not. At the end of the day it's about how many games you have won or how have you helped the team win that day."

The third-generation Subaru Forester is all-new in and out for 2009 and moves more toward becoming a one of a new class of crossover utility vehicles. Symmetrical ll-wheel drive is standard on all Foresters, as is the company's renown 2.5L 4-cylinder boxer engines, which for 2009 has been tweaked to deliver more low-end torque. The Forester is three inches longer and rides on a new platform, with a 3.6-inch longer wheelbase, and the rear end gets double wishbone suspension, which not only makes for better handling, but improves interior room and cargo space. Stability and traction controls are now standard on all models, as well as side-curtain airbags with a rollover sensor. Satellite navigation will be available for the first time. Prices on the 2009 Forester range from $19,995 to $29,995.
Full-time all-wheel-drive system; car-like handling; generous interior space; strong standard safety feature list
For 2009, Subaru's third-generation Forester is bigger, nimbler, safer and more refined than the model it replaces. With two great engine choices, new advanced safety features, a fresh new look, and Subaru's all-wheel drive system, the Forester has gone from a boxy wagon to more of a crossover vehicle. It now offers stiff competition to the likes of the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4. Even better, the 2009 Forester costs about $1,200 less than the model it replaces.

Morningstar has lifted
"Nathan Tinkler's attempt to unseat the Whitehaven board fell at the first hurdle ... beyond the board room drama, Whitehaven continues to grow production albeit impacted by weak coal markets."
The research house says that single commodity exposure and dependence upon Chinese growth makes the stock a high risk play, suitable only for risk tolerant investors.
Morningstar downgraded its fiscal 2013 net profit forecast from $36 million to $6.5 million due to short term coal price weakness. Future year forecasts remain unchanged.
By point of reference, Morningstar notes that the Tinkler Group's failed takeover bid in August valued the stock at $5.20 a share. In March, PWC valued Whitehaven at $5.66-$8.07 a share.
"Whitehaven is an uncomplicated investment proposition with a culture of delivering on promises. All mines are in one basin, simplifying operations. We consider founder investors are committed to growing profit and are only sellers at the right price. Corporate activity may well re-emerge should the share price weaken. Dividends are an unusual bonus in the resources sector demonstrating a focus on financial performance."
The research house forecast net profit of $6.5 million in 2013 and $57.6 million in 2014. Whitehaven delivered net profit of $59.6 million in 2012.

Informational links for most items
Save high resolution images to your photo gallery (requires SD Card)
Share images via email or text (requires SD Card)
Frequently Asked Questions:
Why don't all photos come with the game when I first download it?
There are 3 reasons for this:
- The game would be so big that many people would not download it.
- Devices with larger screens (tablets) should get higher quality pictures and devices with smaller screens (phones) should get smaller pictures. Tablet-sized photos on a phone would just waste space and phone-sized images on a tablet would look fuzzy.
- Images for categories that you are not interested in are not downloaded.
Why is nothing displayed for my rank on the main menu?
You must enable the leader board.
In the gallery, why do some images not show up? The name is there, but the photo is blank.
This happens because there is not an image for that particular item saved to your device. The app will try to download images so that this does not happen, but will fail under any of theses circumstances:
- You have no data connection or a very slow data connection.
- You have disabled image downloads in the settings.
- You are roaming.
- Your device is critically low on storage space.
- All 3 of our image servers are down at the same time.
How are the scores calculated?
Several factors influence your score:
- Percent correct.
- The average time that it took you to answer the questions.
- Length of the game.
- How restrictive your categories are. So, if your categories limit the possible quiz items to a small percentage of the total possible quiz items, you will get a lower score assuming that everything else is equal.
How does the difficulty work?
- On a lower difficulty, you will usually be asked to identify common items.
- On a higher difficulty, you will usually be asked to identify rare items.
- As the difficulty increases, the 3 wrong choices will be more similar to the correct item.
How do the categories work?
Good question. Many people have trouble with this.
Let's consider a game that has 4 categories: cat, dog, large, and small.
If you include cat and dog, you will see everything that is a cat OR is a dog. (This is the same as not selecting any categories, because it shows everything)
If you include cat, you will only see cats.
If you exclude dog, you will only see cats.
If you include cat and large, you will see all cats and also large dogs.
If you exclude large and dog, you will only see small cats.
If you exclude large and small, you will see nothing.
You only want to see large cats:
include cat, and exclude small
include large, and exclude dog
I have been playing challenges and have lost all of my coins. I can't find a way to earn or buy more coins and now I can't play any more challenges. What should I do?
Yes, this a problem. Please just email us and ask for more coins. We will need to know which game it is and also your Scoreloop user name. We could sell more coins, but we don't want to.

EuroFlu - Weekly Electronic Bulletin - Week 1 : 30/12/2013-05/01/2014 - 10 January 2014, Issue No. 512
Influenza activity increasing in western Europe and Turkey
Summary, week 1/2014
- The reporting of influenza surveillance data for week 1/2014 is incomplete due to the holidays, and the data should be interpreted with caution.
- While the consultation rates for influenza-like illness (ILI) and acute respiratory infection (ARI) in outpatient clinics increased in Spain, Portugal and Turkey, low levels were generally reported throughout the WHO European Region.
- The numbers of influenza A(H3N2), A(H1N1)pdm09 and influenza B detections have increased, with the majority being influenza A.
- The number of reported hospitalizations due to severe acute respiratory infection (SARI) remained low, but 2 cases associated with influenza A infection were reported for week 1/2014.
The EuroFlu bulletin describes and comments on influenza activity in the 53 Member States in the WHO European Region to provide information to public health specialists, clinicians and the public on the timing of the influenza season, the spread of influenza, the prevalence and characteristics of circulating viruses (type, subtype and lineage) and severity.
For a description of influenza surveillance in the WHO European Region see below.
Virological surveillance for influenza
During week 1/2014 the number of influenza detections in the WHO European Region increased from those in previous weeks.
In total, 5899 specimens from sentinel and non-sentinel sources were tested for influenza during week 1/2014, 615 (10.4%) of which were positive: 574 (93%) influenza A and 41 (7%) influenza B (Fig. 1 and 2). Detections are probably low due to underreporting by several countries during the holidays.
Of the 352 influenza A viruses that were subtyped during week 1/2014, 165 (47%) were A(H1N1)pdm09 and 187 (53%) A(H3N2) (Fig. 2a).
Since the beginning of weekly monitoring (week 40/2013), sentinel and non-sentinel sources have yielded 2580 influenza detections: 2290 (89%) were influenza A viruses and 290 (11%) influenza B (Fig. 2b).
Of the 1546 influenza A viruses that have been subtyped, 724 (47%) were A(H1N1)pdm09 and 822 (53%) were A(H3N2) (Fig. 2b).
9 countries (Bulgaria, France, Italy, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Turkey and the United Kingdom) reported influenza A to be the dominant virus, as shown in Map 1 and the tabulated country-specific data.
Virus strain characterizations
Circulating influenza viruses are assessed each season for their antigenic and genetic characteristics, to determine the extent of their antigenic similarity to the viruses included in the seasonal influenza vaccine, and determine the prevalence of mutations that affect pathogenicity or are associated with susceptibility to antiviral drugs.
Since week 40/2013, 6 countries (Denmark, Germany, Latvia, Portugal, the Russian Federation and the United Kingdom (England)) have characterized 26 influenza viruses antigenically:
- 16 were A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses (A/California/7/2009 (H1N1)-like);
- 6 were A(H3N2) viruses (A/Texas/50/2012 (H3N2)-like);
- 2 B/Yamagata/16/88 lineage viruses (1 B/Massachusetts/2/2012-like and 1 B/Wisconsin/1/2010-like) and
- 2 B/Victoria/2/87 lineage viruses (B/Brisbane/60/2008-like).
10 countries (Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom (Scotland)) have characterized 70 influenza viruses genetically: 28 A(H3N2), 33 A(H1N1)pdm09, and 9 influenza B viruses.
- The 28 A(H3N2) viruses belonged to genetic subgroup 3C, represented by A/Texas/50/2012 in the A/Perth/16/2009 clade;
- the 33 A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses belonged to genetic group 6, represented by A/St Petersburg/27/2011;
- 1 influenza virus belonged to clade 1A of the B/Victoria lineage, represented by B/Brisbane/60/2008;
- of 8 B/Yamagata lineage viruses, 5 belonged to clade 2, represented by B/Massachusetts/02/2012 and 3 to clade 3, represented by B/Wisconsin/1/2010.
Since week 40/2013, 6 countries (the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom (England)) have screened 44 influenza A(H1N1)pdm09, 27 influenza A(H3N2) and 6 influenza B viruses for susceptibility to oseltamivir and zanamivir.
All showed susceptibility to both drugs.
The 24 influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 and 18 influenza A(H3N2) viruses screened for susceptibility to adamantanes were found to be resistant.
For the 2013/2014 northern hemisphere influenza season, WHO recommended inclusion of A/California/7/2009 (H1N1)pdm09-like, A/Texas/50/2012 (H3N2)-like (an egg-adapted virus antigenically like the cell-propagated prototype virus A/Victoria/361/2011) and B/Massachusetts/2/2012-like (Yamagata lineage) viruses in vaccines (see the WHO headquarters web site).
Outpatient surveillance for influenza-like illness (ILI) and/or acute respiratory infection (ARI)
During week 1/2014, 2 countries (Spain and Turkey) reported medium intensity of influenza (Map 2). Portugal reported widespread activity; Turkey reported regional activity, and several countries in western Europe reported local influenza activity (Map 3) with associated increasing trends (Map 4).
During week 1/2014, consultation rates for ILI and/or ARI remained below the national baselines, and the rate appeared to be decreasing in some countries, but this might be due to decreased reporting during the holiday period.
The number of ILI and ARI cases testing positive for influenza in the Region has slowly increased since week 48/2013 (Fig. 5). During week 1/2014, 545 sentinel specimens tested positive for influenza; they were derived mainly from specimens collected in western European countries.
During week 1/2014, 158 (29%) of the 545 specimens collected from sentinel sources tested positive for influenza, the majority being influenza A(H3) (Fig. 6a). Click here for a detailed overview in a table format.
Hospital surveillance for SARI
The number of SARI hospitalizations has slowly increased since week 40/2013, but it remains at low levels in reporting countries participating in hospital surveillance for SARI in the WHO European Region (Fig. 7).
During week 1/2014, 2 of the 28 SARI samples collected in Kazakhstan, the Republic of Moldova and Serbia tested positive for influenza A (1 H3N2 and 1 H1N1pdm09) (Fig. 8a), which is in line with the results of outpatient surveillance. Click here for a detailed overview in table format.
Since week 40/2013, Ireland, France, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom have reported 173 hospitalized laboratory-confirmed influenza cases in total: 13 influenza B, 75 A(H1N1)pdm09, 15 A(H3) and 70 type A not subtyped. For more information on surveillance of confirmed hospitalized influenza, please see ECDC's Weekly Influenza Surveillance Overview (WISO) at European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control web site.
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)
Based on the data presented by countries reporting on RSV, the positivity rate has been gradually increasing since week 40/2013 and picked up in week 50/2013 giving a slightly later start compared to the previous season. (see Country data and graphs for individual country data).
EuroMOMO (European Mortality Monitoring Project)
EuroMOMO is a project set up to develop and operate a routine public health mortality monitoring system to detect and measure, on a real-time basis, excess deaths related to influenza and other possible public health threats across 20 European Union (EU) countries. For week 1, all-cause mortality has been within the normal range for all reporting countries.
For the latest news on EUROMOMO please click here.
Country comments (where available)
- Republic of Moldova: 1 sample was tested for Influenza A and B - none of them were positive.
- Scotland: Please note that the GP consultation rates for ILI and ARI were adjusted to account for the reduced number of working days in week 01. The data for this week must be interpreted with caution.
- Sweden: The epidemic in Sweden is thus far concentrated in Northern Sweden.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 13/12/2012 (1711 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- A plot to kill Justin Bieber, allegedly masterminded by a 45-year-old prisoner obsessed with the young star, was derailed when the accused would-be assassins accidentally ended up at the Canadian border, according to court documents.
Dana Martin, serving two life sentences in a New Mexico prison for the killing of a 15-year-old girl, told police he had hatched the scheme after Bieber never returned messages he sent to the 18-year-old Beauty and a Beat singer.
Police recounted in an affidavit filed in a New Mexico court that Martin, who has a tattoo of Bieber on his leg, told them the perceived slight was part of what led him to dream up the alleged murder plot.
"In the end, what Mr. Martin stated he was seeking was a measure of notoriety so that there would be people outside of prison who would know who he (Mr. Martin) was," police wrote in the affidavit.
Bieber was not the only target in the alleged conspiracy -- police allege two men Martin hired were also told to kill Bieber's bodyguard and two people unconnected to the star -- but he was the main one, investigators allege.
The men Martin allegedly had carrying out his plot were to use pruning shears to cut off the testicles of the first two victims in Vermont and kill them, then travel to New York, kill the bodyguard and abduct and kill Bieber, Martin told police.
There are no details in the affidavit of how the men, a recently released ex-con and his nephew, were to carry out the murder of one of the biggest stars in the world. But a celebrity security expert suggested Bieber would likely have more than one layer of protection.
"Somebody of his stature will never, ever be travelling with just one bodyguard," said Adrianne Fekete-Romanick, director and owner of Star Quality Enterprises.
It's not known how much detail the members of the alleged plot knew about Bieber's security detail.
But Martin said he drew Mark Staake, 41, into his plot when they met in prison this year by telling Staake that he had access to a lot of money, had a multimillion-dollar family farm in Vermont that could serve as a hideout and had connections in a Chinese gang in New York.
Staake brought his 23-year-old nephew, Tanner D. Ruane, into the scheme, Martin told investigators.
Staake was released on probation at the end of October and started to track Bieber's whereabouts, Martin said. The murder was to take place in New York at the end of November, according to the affidavit, which was when Bieber was in the city to give a concert.
The uncle-and-nephew team arrived in Vermont on Nov. 19, but on the highway they realized they were headed to the Canadian border, according to the affidavit. They missed the last exit before the border and turned around to join the cars entering the Highgate Springs, Vt., point of entry, police said.
The U.S. border agent found Staake had an outstanding probation violation warrant from New Mexico and he was arrested.
Martin and Ruane spoke on the phone later that day, and when Ruane told Martin that Staake had been arrested, Martin called off the plot. In the phone call, which was recorded by authorities, Ruane expressed disappointment at Martin's decision, saying they had found one of the first two victims' homes and had brought a pair of hedge clippers for the castrations.
Martin told his story to police the next morning and Ruane was arrested with a pair of pruning shears and information on the last-known locations of the first two intended victims in the car, police said in the affidavit. New York State Police said Thursday that a "handwritten drawing of a depiction of Bieber" was also found in the vehicle.
Staake and Ruane were arrested on charges of two counts each of conspiracy to commit murder and two counts each of conspiracy to commit aggravated battery.
