Heavy rainfall recently caused flooding, landslides and power outages in some areas of Peru. NASA's Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for GPM (IMERG) measured that rainfall by using a merged precipitation product from a constellation of satellites.
Las fuertes lluvias recientemente causó inundaciones, deslizamientos de tierra y cortes de energía en algunas zonas del Perú. Multi-Satélite Retrievals Integrados de la NASA para GPM (IMERG) midieron que la lluvia mediante el uso de un producto de precipitación resultante de la fusión de una constelación de satélites.
GPM is the Global Precipitation Measurement mission, which is a satellite co-managed by NASA and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency and is used in NASA's IMERG data. GPM provides next-generation observations of rain and snow worldwide every three hours.
Extremely heavy rainfall was reported in northern Peru on February 26 and February 27, 2016. Thousands were made homeless and at least two people were reportedly killed from the severe weather. The strong El Niño was partially blamed for the abnormally high rainfall in that area.
NASA's IMERG data collected from February 23-29, 2016 were used to estimate rainfall totals over this area of South America. The highest rainfall total estimates for this period were over 700 mm (27.6 inches). These extreme rainfall total estimates were shown east of the Andes in southeastern Peru and Bolivia.
The satellites used in IMERG include DMSPs from the U.S. Department of Defense, GCOM-W from the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), Megha-Tropiques from the Centre National D'etudies Spatiales (CNES) and Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), NOAA series from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Suomi-NPP from NOAA-NASA, and MetOps from the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT). All of the instruments (radiometers) onboard the constellation partners are intercalibrated with information from the GPM Core Observatory's GPM Microwave Imager (GMI) and Dual-frequency Precipitation Radar (DPR).
On March 3, Peru's National Meteorological and Hydrological Service said that rain was forecast to continue along the North Coast. The service said that in 10 hours, the Lancones (Piura) station recorded a total of 4.3 inches (110 mm), while in the city of Tumbes recorded 2.4 inches (60 mm). For forecasts, visit:

Clinging on for dear life this poor baby elephant was eventually rescued after spending three hours trapped down a manhole in Thailand.
The animal lost its footing and ended up trapped after its keepers sent the baby to work on the streets in the Ravong province.
In the end a bulldozer widened the hole so the elephant could be lifted to safety unharmed.
One experience this elephant will be hoping to forget.

The Hang Drum: A World of Harmonies in your Hands
I want you to remember one of those fantasy movies that TV played during holiday season and usually starred some faerie or mermaid story of sorts. Normally, the faeries/mermaids/whatever would have a banquet at some point in the movie, and you'd hear this beautiful, graceful, ethereal sound. I want you to remember that sound.

EV's ND Series arrives in Singapore
Published: ASIA
SINGAPORE: Having launched its first microphones in many years in the form of the ND Series earlier in 2016, EV has formally unveiled them to its primary customers in Singapore. Some 40 primary customers and guests were invited to a demonstration at City Music's Peace Centre store on 12th August for a three-hour presentation. Following an opening welcome by Bosch Security Systems Asia Pacific's Johannes Huth, Gordon Lee provided an overview of the latest ZLX, ELX, EKX and ETX speaker systems with videos and audio playback.
Product specialist Edward Chia then took the stage to promote the newly stocked ND microphones. Following a demystification of humbucking coil guards, memralex grilles and shock mounting capsules, Mr Chia went onto highlight the features of the four vocal and four instrument models in the range. He was then assisted by the presence of guitarist and singer Shirlyn Tan from local band UnXpected in showcasing the different models before a Q and A session and wind down with food and drink.
'It's been a good turn out and we're hoping to build on this momentum,' confirmed Mr Chia. 'It's a highly competitive market, but EV's pedigree began almost 90 years ago in microphones. We're going to be making sure that the local dealers, artists and performers take a closer look at these capsules over the coming weeks and months.'

K-State's Top 54-Hole Score Propels Cats to Eighth Place Finish
K-State's Top 54-Hole Score Propels Cats to Eighth Place Finish
GOODYEAR, Ariz. – All five members of the Kansas State men's golf team carded under-par scores in Saturday's final round of the Desert Shootout in Goodyear, Arizona, to help the Wildcats secure an eighth place finish.
K-State tied its top team round versus par of the spring season with a 7-under 281. The Wildcats' 54-hole score of 15-under par 849 marked both the best team round versus par and best overall gross score since the team's 23-under par 841 at the Desert Shootout on March 21, 2014.
"We had all five guys under-par today, but nobody was able to go low and that hurts when the course is playing as easy as it was," said head coach Grant Robbins. "We just have to keep improving. We have to get much better at controlling distances with wedges, converting routine up-and-downs and learning how to score when you aren't playing your best."
The Wildcats had three golfers post 2-under rounds on Saturday, including junior Matt Green, who finished in a tie for 15th place at 7-under par 209 for the weekend. It marked his lowest 54-hole score and fifth top-20 finish of the season.
Joining Green on the 2-under line was freshman Jeremy Gandon, whose final 12 holes included 10 pars and two birdies. Gandon tied for 36th place at 3-under par 213. Oscar Spolander's final round score of 2-under par 70 was his top round of the spring and featured 14 pars to go with three birdies as the sophomore tied for 81st at 5-over par 221.
Senior Kyle Weldon birdied four of his last six holes on Saturday, including holes 15-17, to post consecutive rounds of under-par golf. Weldon's 1-under 71 in the final round brought him to 2-under par 214 for the weekend, good enough for a tie for 42nd place.
Andrew Beckler played to his second 1-under scoreline of the tournament by recording 13 pars on Saturday, helping the freshman record his lowest 54-hole score as a Wildcat with a 1-under par 215.
The Desert Shootout team title went to Iowa State, which ran away with the tournament by shooting a 16-under 272 in the final round. The Cyclones 54-hole score of 41-under par 823 won the event by eight strokes over second place Kansas. The individual title was shared by Northern Illinois' Joo-Young Lee and UMKC's Antoine Rozner, both of whom carded 4-under 68's on Saturday to finish at 14-under par 202.
The Wildcats' next team action will come April 4-5, as K-State will play the Old Waverly Invitational in West Point, Mississippi.

Wijk Aan Zee (The Netherlands): World Cup champion Viswanathan Anand was brilliance personified as he outwitted Latvia-born Spaniard Alexei Shirov to consolidate his lead after the 10th round of the 65th Corus chess tournament here.
Anand maintained his position atop the tables on 7 points after 10 games played so far and is followed by the worlds highest rated woman Judit Polgar of Hungary, who is half a point behind.
A pack of five players, including the Russian duo of Vladimir Kramnik and defending champion Evgeny Bareev, local star Loek Van Wely, world championship finalist Vassily Ivanchuk of Ukraine and Azerbaijani sensation Teimour Radjabov, all with 5.5 points in their kitty are placed joint third.
GM Koneru Humpy struggled yet again and went down to GM Dennis De Vregut to languish on 3.5 points along with Alexandra Kosteniuk of Russia and Peter Acs of Hungary.
Anand had to flex his defensive muscles yet again and was only rewarded a full point against Shirov. The opening featured Caro Kann defence where the Indian ace, playing black, seized the upper hand.
Anands king was looking in some danger in the middle game but a brilliantly crafted 14th move turned the tide in his favour. Anand steered his king to safety and pocketed a couple of pawns on the kingside to march ahead with his minor pieces. Shirov banked his hopes on queenside pawns but they were contained quite effectively from a decisive advance. The trade of queens on the 31st move sealed Shirovs fate completely and he resigned after 36 moves.
It was nice to win against a strong player with black pieces. In general I was winning the game after maybe 15 moves, but it was not easy to convert this advantage because it was a very complex position and I was very careful... Of course it finally came, Anand said after the game.
In the Grandmaster B tournament Zhang Zhong was back with increased vigour and stretched his lead to a massive 2.5 points after drubbing Dutch GM Friso Nijboer.
On the receiving end of Polgars assault, was Alexander Grischuk, who got a taste of the finest mixture of Hungarian counter-attack and defence..
Kramnik came back strongly to beat Veselin Topalov of Bulgaria with white pieces. Loek Van Wely met his nemesis in world champion Ruslan Ponomariov of Ukraine. Ivanchuk punished aJan Timman of Netherlands. The Ruy Lopez gave Timman worries on all parts of the board and he landed a piece down in just 18 moves.
It took three more moves for Ivanchuk to register his first victory. Michal Krasenkow of Poland was outplayed in the endgame arising out of a kings Indian defence game lasting 60 moves while Bareev and Karpov fought on in a level position from Nimzo Indian defence till chances of a victory almost finished.

RUSHMORE Golf Club's Ben Stow became the English Amateur Stroke Play champion with a 14 under par one stroke victory over fellow England teammates Ashley Chesters and Ryan Evans.
With an international field of 156 top golfers, the championship was played at a sun-baked Seaton Carew Golf Club, County Durham.
The Rushmore golfer holed a 17 foot putt on 17 and a 10 footer on 18 to make the 14 under total and clinch the Brabazon Trophy.
The victory adds Stow's name to a distinguished list, which includes Masters' winners Sandy Lyall and Charl Schwartzel, and places the Rushmore golfer in a great position going into final of open qualifying at Hillside, in Southport.

H5GQ2H24MFR-T2C (6950): 5.0Gbps/16Bank, 1.5V/1.5V
Do you need a source for the different memory chips or the different timings?
I think the timings of the 6970 are not that tight, but it operates at a higher frequency (and also 1.6V and not 1.5V like the T2C).
This is for 6950!
@ postumus
Okay, I get it. Like a AsRock 890GX Extreme3 mainbaord with a 880G sticker on it :D
Have you tried any driver cleaner? Or installing...
Could you take a picture? Where did you get it? Retail market?
What VGA did you use before your 6950?
No, DFI doesn't exist any more (consumer market). So tell me, what was your problem with DFI? :wtf:
DFI had that as well on the nf4 Ultra-D but nobody used it ...
I guess they could do some kind of that for the CPUs as well, but they don't do it. Anyways, if there would be a new driver that disables this...
Oh come on guys who cares? I discovered, that the AsRock 880G board runs with a 890GX BIOS :P :D
Where is your power limit?
How strong is your PSU?
And: have you tried +10 to +15? Maybe with +20 it gets too hot and you have problems. Try it with lower GPU and memory...
same here :toast:
Dude, :)
http://www.computerbase.de/news/hardware/grafikkarten/ati/2010/dezember/radeon-hd-6950-zu-radeon-hd-6970-freigeschaltet/ ;)
And I just...
Glad to see that Sapphire has 4 WINS of 4 trys :)
probably the error lies in the memory frequency. 6950 and 6970 use different chips. -ROC (6970) and -T2C (6950). These have different...
I will try my Sapphire HD6950 on the second of january. Hopefully it will clock fine too. I will also mount a water block :)

I jolted up. My vision darkened from the abruptness of my movement. The sensation faded but the darkness remained.
The sound of trickling water from a shower-head emanated from behind a closed door somewhere to my left. The details of the room became clearer as my eyes adjusted to the dimness. A desk, chair, "my" bed, another bed parallel to mine, bed-side table/drawer, and a dresser. It looked a bit like a dorm, and a nice one at that.
The running water stopped and a few seconds later, out stepped a silhouetted figure. The light, from what I guessed was the bathroom, blinded me and kept the figure in shadows.
"Oh, crap! Sorry! I'm-" The assumed boy fumbled with a towel to cover himself. "I'm so sorry! I'm- I'm not used to the whole 'roommate' thing."
"I- uh." I stuttered like a bumbling idiot.
I heard a click and white light flooded the room. Slowly coming to my senses and noticed that the boy in front of me looked to be around my age. He was approximately 6' and built slimly, yet athletically. Eyes of the bluest skies. Hair the color of warmth, a brown that could only be met by the milkiest chocolate. His jaw-line was strong and prominent, chin round and small. His abdomen was smooth and hairless. He had the muscles of somebody who played a lot of sports, but still had time for the gym. Abs that looked like they were chiseled from granite and pectorals that bulged a bit, but not monstrously. Arms that were well defined, not bumped.
He went to the dresser and pulled out some things, then walked into the bathroom.
"Name's Kodi." He called from the other room.
"Josaiha." I called back as he came out in a slim-fit shirt and basketball shorts. I had to struggle with my name. It didn't feel like my, but it felt like it was.
"Well, for what it's worth, it's a pleasure to meet you. Josaiha?" He shied, extending his hand for a shake.
"Likewise." I reached out to meet him and he gripped my hand firmly. "But, with all due respect, I wasn't expecting a naked guy as the first thing I saw when I woke up."
He chuckled at this. "Fair enough, but in return, you were unconscious for awhile, so I wasn't expecting you to see me."
"I was unconscious? Why!?" Suddenly, it hit me. "Where am I!? What is this place!? How did I get here!?"
I began panicking. My breathing became frantic and a sharp pain ran through my head. My hand searched until it found a bump on my head.
"Whoah! Whoah! calm down." He took me into his arms. I writhed to get away, but he held fast. I gave in and tears began to fall. My head felt fuzzy and I couldn't remember a thing.
"What's going on?" I asked, not him, but to the entirety around us.
"It's okay. It's okay. Just calm down." I buried my face into his chest, trying to hide from the strange dimension of this room I somehow stumbled into. "Look at me."
My eyes pleaded to his and shook violently. My vision was blurry and painful from the torrents escaping my eyes.
"This place, it's called Quinton's Academy. It's a boys only private boarding school. It's for boys who are either extremely smart, or extremely 'troubled'. The weirdest thing is that we all share two common traits." He paused and drew breath. "One, no one can remember their anything from their pasts. Family, friends, hometown, nothing. And two, we're all-"
Suddenly the door to the room that seemed to have existed in its own universe burst open.

SCOTTSDALE, AZ /PRNewswire/ - In a pioneering effort, Henkel recently announced a three-year commitment to invest in Arizona State University's (ASU) Global Institute of Sustainability to work on Life Cycle Impact Analysis (LCIA).
LCIA is a process that measures the total environmental impact in every stage of a product's life, from "cradle to grave." In large part, Henkel's products are designed to clean, treat and protect surfaces. Therefore, inventing "greener" consumer packaged goods, such as detergents and soaps, and an array of personal care products, requires complete understanding of their impact on the environment.
LCIA provides a significant opportunity to establish a new methodology that quantifiably identifies stress to the environment and reveals how this stress may influence categories like ozone depletion, global warming, acidification, environmental toxicology, and other environmental factors. Focusing on the LCIA of consumer products used everyday, the Henkel-ASU partnership provides a new multi-disciplinary platform, where material scientists and industrial ecologists will work together to innovate for a more sustainable future.
"We are delighted to invest in this program and pioneer the development in a new industry frontier for ecological development," says Brad Casper, president and CEO of the Dial Corp., a Henkel Company. "As sustainability is a part of our DNA and is a core value of our parent company, Henkel KGaA, we are looking to further strengthen our own environmental commitment as well as share our learned knowledge to develop new standards for our industry."
While many practices aim for "environmentally friendly" status by changes in product development or the supply chain management cycle, there is currently no way to measure the combined impact of these initiatives on the environment. The fundamental goal of the Henkel-ASU LCIA project is not only to quantify life-cycle considerations (with an emphasis on carbon emissions) but to educate consumers and supply chain management, which are both becoming increasingly aware of sustainability, and to influence decisions based on this awareness. The objectives of the partnership are:
"This Henkel-ASU partnership is an example of the ways that the Global Institute of Sustainability is working with corporations to reduce the environmental effects of industrial processes. Such collaborations can greatly expand the impact of our sustainability research," notes Dr. Jonathan Fink, the Julie Ann Wrigley director of ASU's Global Institute of Sustainability (GIOS).

Pools dash Us play-off hopes
Roy O'Donovan and James Brown brought Hartlepool a step closer to safety with a 3-1 win against Colchester.
Last Updated: 17/04/10 7:15pm
Two goals from Roy O'Donovan and a third from James Brown brought Hartlepool a step closer to safety with a 3-1 win against Colchester.
A late penalty from O'Donovan put all three points in Hartlepool's hands as they prepare for battle with the FA over Garry Liddle's illegal appearance against Brighton.
Liddle returned to the starting line-up following his two-match ban for accruing 10 yellow cards. Whether Hartlepool will be deducted three precious points for starting that ban one game too late will be thrashed out between the club and the FA over the next 10 days.
Colchester had taken the lead through Clive Platt after just eight minutes, but two minutes later Pools were level through Brown when he headed home Leon McSweeney's cross.
O'Donovan made it two after 19 minutes when he fired home Andy Monkhouse's through ball.
And the game was wrapped up six minutes from time when O'Donovan stepped up to slot home from the spot after McSweeney was brought down by substitute Simon Hackney.

Pablo Ferro
Jump to
Not all of our most important filmmakers are the most well-known. Hailed as a genius by Stanley Kubrick and described by Jonathan Demme as "the best designer of film titles in the country today," Pablo Ferro has distinguished himself in film for more than three decades as a director, editor and producer specializing in graphic design, special effects, sequences and main titles, trailers and print campaigns. A significant influence on the "look" of the 1960s, he may have had an even more decisive impact on the world of advertising. In addition to creating and designing some of the more striking TV and print ads of the decade (one highlight was creating the corporate logo for Burlington Mills with fast-moving multicolored stitching animation for a classic commercial campaign), Ferro helped bring the "hard-sell" visual razzmatazz of cutting-edge advertising techniques to Hollywood films that strove to reflect the changing social scene. Often pointed and satirical, much of his best film work has been in association with directors once allied, to varying degrees, with so-called countercultural values such as Kubrick ("Dr. Strangelove: or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb" 1964; "A Clockwork Orange" 1972), Demme ("Citizen's Band" 1977; "Last Embrace" 1979; "Swing Shift" 1983; "Stop Making Sense" 1984; "Married to the Mob" 1988; "Philadelphia" 1993), Hal Ashby ("Harold and Maude" 1971; "Bound for Glory" 1976; "Being There" 1979; "Second Hand Hearts" 1981; "Looking to Get Out" 1982; "Let's Spend the Night Together" 1983) and William Friedkin ("The Night They Raided Minsky's" 1969; "To Live and Die in L.A." 1985; "C.A.T. Squad" NBC 1986; "The Guardian" 1989).

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 1/11/2012 (1756 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs is building a casino a half hour east of Brandon, hoping to parlay the success of a gaming house at Brokenhead reserve -- also about a half hour out of Winnipeg -- into economic spinoffs for the 63 First Nation bands. To date, only a handful of bands in Manitoba have seen any kind of monetary return on their gaming investments.
South Beach, built by seven bands at Brokenhead in 2005, makes money, especially for American developer and operator, Hemisphere Gaming Inc., which signed an agreement giving it 47 per cent of earnings before taxes. This reduced the profits shared by the owners, more so what's left over for the 56 other bands in Manitoba.
But South Beach's strategic location -- along the path to premier cottage country -- has helped the seven owner-bands cash in on decent returns. A CBC investigation last year found that since 2005, after paying Hemisphere $43 million in management and other costs, the seven bands have shared $17 million. In contrast, the Aseneskak casino, built in 2002 at northern Manitoba's Opaskwayak reserve, took years to make a profit. It has less than a third of South Beach's 600 slot machines.
Initially, the AMC says, Spirit Sands at Carberry will have 450 slots and is expected to employ 150 people. All 63 bands will be owners; all will share in the profits. That could mean that they will see more than they've got out of South Beach -- CBC reported that non-owner bands got as little as $13,128 in 2010.
But profits are derived from revenues, which are driven by traffic. Spirit Sands is to be built on reserve land of the Swan Lake First Nation, just off the Trans-Canada Highway east of Brandon. The proximity to a major urban centre on a heavily travelled road will give Spirit Sands a leg up and the AMC believes it has negotiated a better revenue-sharing agreement with Hemisphere.
The fractured ownership of Spirit Sands -- many chiefs have their hands in this pot -- will bring many, potentially competing voices to the board table. Some may not be as patient with a casino's limited ability to generate the vaunted spinoffs -- jobs, career training, cash -- the provincial government has used to justify native casinos.
The reality is that the jobs will fall to those closest to Carberry. Other bands may get a little dividend, but this foray into the gaming will not change the daily lives of their people or the communities that continue to struggle economically.

NHL, players meet with mediator, but don't negotiate
Sat., Jan. 5, 2013
All-day session ends with promise of another
NEW YORK – A federal mediator held over 12 hours of separate talks with the NHL and the players' association Friday before stopping for the night with a promise to get going again in the morning.
The sides remained apart all day, buffered by the presence of federal mediator Scot Beckenbaugh, who shuttled back and forth between the hotel where the union is working, and the league office. He started at 7 a.m. PST and wrapped up discussions for the day shortly before 8 p.m.
It still isn't known when the league and the union will get back together at the bargaining table. Neither side provided details, but the all-day discussions at least provided a glimmer of hope that perhaps progress was being made from afar.
That would be a welcome change after things cooled during an unproductive Thursday.
After marathon talks that lasted deep into Wednesday night, the sides have remained apart with the exception of two smaller meetings Thursday.
The lockout reached its 111th day Friday, and the sides have only one week to reach a deal on a collective bargaining agreement that would allow for a 48-game hockey season – the minimum the NHL has said it will play.
Commissioner Gary Bettman set a Jan. 11 deadline so the season can begin eight days later.
The players could be looking to wait until tonight to return to the bargaining table when it is expected that the executive board will again have the authority to exercise a disclaimer of interest that would allow the union to dissolve and become a trade association.
A vote among union members was initiated Thursday, and players have until 3 p.m. PST today to cast their ballots that would allow the board to take the action of the disclaimer. An earlier vote passed overwhelmingly last month, but the union let its self-imposed deadline go by Wednesday night without acting.
A restoration of authority to go the route of the disclaimer might be the leverage the union wants before it starts negotiating again.
Representatives from the league and the union met twice Thursday for small meetings, one dealing with the pension plan, but never got together for a full bargaining session. A long night of discussions Wednesday that stretched into the early morning hours didn't end well after the players' association passed on declaring a disclaimer of interest and created Thursday's lack of activity.
The sides can't afford many more days like that.
All games through Jan. 14, along with the All-Star game, have been canceled.

|Photograph of Robert Redford as Jay Gatsby via JGoldberg
You might think I have been absent from my blog because I was on vacation. I wasn't. In fact, I have been suffering from the kind of frenzied exhaustion that only stress can cause. Nothing really bad in and of itself, just death by a thousand little paper cuts. Mostly punishment for putting things off until the last minute. You know how that goes.
So here I am, just checking in to tell you that I am going on vacation later this week and to say that I miss you. Also, to solicit some vacation reading recommendations. Here's the catch.
It's vacation for me but it's actually a {mostly} work trip for Kyle. We will be in Berlin for a while with a group of his colleagues. It's a curriculum development sort of trip for them and they will be going to museums and historical/cultural sites every morning and every afternoon for a few days. I am frantically trying to figure out what books to bring/download to perfect the trip. It *is* vacation, so I am adamant about picking titles that are light and fun. But, at the same time, I know that being in Berlin and being exposed to so much history and art, I will be inspired to push myself intellectually. So, I am looking for that perfect book that entertains IMMENSELY and takes you completely out of your world but at the same time nurtures your mind and does not leave you feeling like you are wasting your time.
So far, I am thinking of The Great Gatsby, which I suppose I need to admit, I have never read. And/or picking up a Kate Christensen novel... maybe Jeremy Thrane. I think Maud said it was her favorite. What would your recommendation be?
P.S. After Berlin, we go off to Marrakesh for a few days. Have you been?

World Encyclopedia of Cars
The best old cars, news and reviews about old cars.
And Hyundai management is hoping that this latest revitalised edition will push that figure even higher, thanks to a facelift that brings the i40 in line with Hyundai's latest design language. Hand-in-hand with the revisions, the entry price has risen by £495, with changes to the shape of the front and rear lights, a new front bumper and a prominent hexagonal grille. A new seven-speed twin-clutch automatic transmission is also offered for the first time on the 139bhp editions of the 1.7- litre CRDi engine.
Out go the Active and Style trim levels, and in their place there's new S, SE Nav and SE Nav Business editions, with the flagship Premium model topping the range. A choice of a pair of 1.7 CRDi engines in 114 and 139bhp power outputs, the latter unit producing 5bhp more than before, with CO2 emissions and fuel economy figures improved on every model.
One of the i40's biggest strengths is the sheer amount of space on offer, with limousinelike levels of rear legroom. Headroom is good, too, and the generous proportions are mirrored by the amount of loadspace on offer, with 553 litres with the seats in the upright position - outgunning the Ford Mondeo - and an enormous 1,719 litres with the chairs folded down. The space is deep, expansive and has the advantage of an underfloor storage tray. The interior design is stylish and shapely, and while the materials are soft and hard wearing, there's still a little way to go until it matches the surfaces in the latest Passat, though.
But bearing in mind that the VW-badged car costs £2,720 more, Hyundai designers have done an admirable job. The driving position is good, with nice comfortable seats, and allround vision is aided by the deep windows and large rear screen. The positioning of the standard-fit satellite navigation system is good, just within your field of vision, but we wish the instruments were brighter with additional clarity. Space for oddments is well catered for, with a large bin ahead of the gear lever, a deep and wellproportioned armrest and goodsized door pockets and glovebox. It's obvious that the i40 has been designed with comfort in mind, as the suspension soaks up the bumps and potholes with nice absorption. Improvements to the steering are a total success, with the action now rid of the over-assisted, electrical feel that the old car was plagued with.
On tight bends, body roll is kept well in check, with the tyres gripping the tarmac nicely. The six-speed manual gearbox has a smooth, positive action, and the standard-fit stop-start system operates well, without being intrusive. Performance off the line is decent, with a good dose of mid-range torque for overtaking. The engine is quiet and refined, and even with your foot to the floor, remains hushed, and while there's traces of road noise at motorway speeds and some wind flutter, the i40 is actually a comfortable long distance cruiser.

Justice for Rwanda, for Zimbabwe
Finally there is a glimmer of justice for the beautiful country and people of Rwanda. Having being brutally traumatised by the most evil incarnations imaginable, we can only hope that the conviction of Theoneste Bagosora, will further the convictions of other perpetrators. Apparantly he, the cabinet director of defence, took control of the country, in April '94, after the dubious plain crash of President Juvenal Habyarimana, who signed a peace deal in August '93.
Tribalism, is still rife in our continent. The Rwandian genocide of 1994, still haunts us, as we come face to face with the consequences of tribalism gone wrong, 'horrendiously wrong'. Although there has been some relief in the transition and rebuilding of the country, still the healing of memories, but more so the quest for justice, by the victims, need to remain a priority in the international work for justice and reconciliation. The current conflict in the Great Lakes region, to large degree, is a spill-over, the unpaid debt of this bit of history. The appointment of Dr Andre Karamaga, Rwanda, on 12 December 2008, as the General Secretary of the All Africa Conference of Churches, is however another sign of hope. Maybe Dr Karamaga, maybe Rwanda, a small country in the centre of Africa, are to remind us of how incidious the evil of tribalism can crawl up on us and devour us.
Of course we need to ask, what could we have done better ? Maybe we could have spoken out in horror, at the building-up of the hostlities and the demonisation of 'the other', the tribal other, in the conflict in before 1994. Maybe we should have sided more deliberately with vulnerable minorities, maybe we should have done this or that... We did not.
Today, I fear, we have a situation with the same perilous build-up, the same ominous signs. All evidence points to the reality of a military, information and bloody crackdown in Zimbabwe. Moreso, allready a unleashing of military forces on political opponents, on civilians, on vulnerable sectors and, most shockingly, the escalating humanitarian crisis, as vividly demonstrated by the cholera epidemy, is left unchecked by our own political leadership in die Region. Irrespective of the peace deal in September 2008, there has to be a concerted effort, with Botswana, to demand Robert Mugabe to step down. This process need to include control by the elected president (elected in March 2008), to take full control over the military, the Police and the Central Intelligence Organisation. It is time for civil organisations, people of conscience and alliances from all sectors, all of us, to join hands, for peace and justice to return and prevail in Zimbabwe.
What Rwanda has taught us, is that is it possible for a country, in a 100 days, to be wrecked beyond recognition, but also, we are reminded that it is possible to stand up and against the Hitlers, the Bagosoras of our time...because, with God on our side, we shall overcome.

Are you choosing a keyboard over a surfboard this summer? Spreadsheets, rather than sunshine? A new survey reveals the majority of Australians are planning to work through December and January, with less than half saying they will take holidays this holiday season.
In a national survey of 1000 people by the Tourism and Transport Forum Australia, 40 per cent said it would be business as usual over summer, while almost 13 per cent said they would only take public holidays off. Just 47 per cent planned a break from their usual routine.
The forum's chief executive, Margy Osmond, said Aussies "are traditionally leave hoarders", with Roy Morgan research showing Australian employees collectively have 123.5 million days of unclaimed leave owing to them - an average of 22 days for men and 18 days for women.
Victoria is home to the country's most dedicated workaholics, with 56.5 per cent of those surveyed saying work was their priority over the summer. Residents of NSW were the most likely to be planning a break; only 48 per cent said they would work through the holidays.
Ms Osmond said some people were reluctant to take a break because of "mortgage stress, a bit of uncertainty about interest rates, and an overwhelming devotion to the fact they've got a job and want to keep it".
"People feel the need to be front and centre at their job," Ms Osmond said. "Having said that, we all know people are more productive and do a better job when they've had a chance to recharge their batteries and have a break."
The falling Australian dollar has had an impact on holiday plans, with 24 per cent of those surveyed saying they had made no international or domestic travel plans over the past year and 28 per cent saying they would travel more in Australia.
While most people dreamed of getting away to the beach, either here or overseas, some had no ambitions to leave the couch. Almost 13 per cent of people said their ideal summer holiday was staying at home to catch up on favourite TV shows or sport.

Is square processing my payments?Asked by cookiezombie on February 08, 2017 at 06:59 PM
I have been using Square payment widget on my jotform without issue for the last few months. Yesterday I made some updates to the form and it appears that the Square widget switched to test mode on its own. I just switched it back to live mode. How can I retrieve the payments that have been made in the last day? Please advise.
Thank you!

text: Family Instructs Lawyers To Investigate Cause Of Illness After Ruined Holiday Expert Travel Illness Lawyers Investigating Illness Suffered At Club Alize Hotel 07.01.2016 A family whose holiday was "ruined" when three of them required hospital treatment following gastric illness have instructed expert travel lawyers at Irwin Mitchell to investigate the cause of their illness. Mrs Atkinson, 37, her daughters aged ten, and five, from Doncaster, all suffered gastric symptoms, including diarrhoea, stomach cramps, fever and dehydration during their two-week stay at the Club Alize hotel, Marmaris in August 2015. They have now instructed expert travel illness lawyers at Irwin Mitchell to investigate the cause of their illness after their symptoms, which have continued since their return to the UK, affected them so badly that they were admitted to hospital in Turkey and placed on IV drips to rehydrate them. The holiday, which was booked with TUI UK Limited t/a First Choice Holidays along with five other family members, was intended to be a relaxing break, but the family say it was "ruined" by the illness Mrs Atkinson and her daughters suffered. Mrs Atkinson, from Armthorpe, Doncaster, visited the hotel in 2013, but told her legal team the hotel felt completely different when she visited it in 2015. She said food was sometimes not hot enough and on occasions left uncovered throughout the sitting. She also said she saw new food being added to old food in the hotel's restaurant. Nichola Blackburn, a travel illness expert in Irwin Mitchell's International Personal Injury Department, representing the family, said: Expert Opinion"It is extremely worrying to hear how ill Mrs Atkinson and her daughters were. "We have now launched our own investigation into the cause of their illness to provide Mrs Atkinson and her family with the answers they deserve about what caused them to fall ill. "This was supposed to be a relaxing family holiday but it ended with three members of the group in hospital on IV drips. We would urge anyone else who suffered similar issues at the hotel to contact us as they may be able to assist with our investigation." Nichola Blackburn, Other Legal Expert Mrs Atkinson, a pre-school teacher, said: "I booked this hotel for our family holiday as I'd stayed there before in 2013 and had really enjoyed it. However, I was not as happy with it this time around. "Some of food was served undercooked and on occasions food was not hot enough. The last thing we expected was to suffer such horrendous symptoms during the holiday and end up spending a day of the holiday in a Turkish hospital. "Myself and my children are still suffering the effects of the illness nearly three months after coming back to the UK and we have been left extremely angry and upset. We want to understand what caused us to fall ill."

Tata Motors was trading higher as Barclays upgraded the stock to overweight with a price target of Rs 368.
Shares in Tata Motors were up by more then 1 per cent at Rs 301 on the Bombay Stock Exchange.
While Tata Motors' domestic business remains under stress due to macro concerns, we believe an improved performance from JLR should offset any drag from the standalone operations," Barclays has reportedly said in a note, according to a Reuters report.
Tata Motors has been reporting robust numbers from its global operations and is likely to do better in the US, as economic growth there rebounds. However, its domestic business has been a cause for worry given the poor economic growth rates in the country.

should i just move on, or end this friendship
Im an asshole, and I mean that in the sense of what nice guys say girls fall for but I'm a nice guy also because I I level out my douchyness, but with this girl I can't be as assertive, and confident and as sure of myself, as I normally am, I don't speak my mind to her because I'm a afraid to lose her I've pretty much friend zoned my self, but her and I know that we would have sex of it came down to it we just literally never get to that point and I think my times ran out, I don't want to be friends with her anymore because I'm so out of my element when she's around and its even worse because I get caught in emotions I want to be with her but if i can't have her then I don't want her in my life, its confusing I know, I'm super shy around her, id back flip for her and she treats me like **** and she knows it but we've gotten so close that it would be weird to be apart with our mutual friends and all, and of I tried to end it shed stop me is hope at least. What should I do, we both **** other people she's know i do, I know she does. What makes me think she likes me is how we flirt because we just stare at each other and its like. There's something there but we just can't find it.
Sorry i really I talked in a big circle, but this is what she does to me.
Its been a week since we've talked, but we use snapchat and she views my story and so on, I haven't talked to her because she told me shed make an effort as I stated and wanted to see if she would, and she hasn't tried to contact me
Most Helpful Guy
If im getting this right, you consider yourself an ass, but you like this girl and can't bring yourself to become an ass around her. Not only that, this girl treats you like crap but you stay around anyway... you guys don't really do much but make it seem like you will, and you stalk each other on social media. Did i miss anything?
First off, you're not an ass, you are a softie with a wall, you just put up a front and it looks like she sees through it. Secondly, you ask if you should move on... my question is Why? the chemistry is there so why not just take whatever step is next or are you thinking she will turn you down? (because a true ass won't think that at all) Thirdly, Maybe you should start asserting yourself too... you didn't friend zone yourself, you put yourself in the doghouse with her. If anything, i think she's waiting for you to do the second and third ones.
Also, for my own entertainment, @KillerTaco meet AwkoTaco20.
AwkoTaco, you wana see asserting, mess with this one girl lol21|10|0
I don't "consider" myself and asshole, it's just something I've been called numerous amounts of times.
Thanks for saying it because I've been avoiding it myself but I am a softie with a wall, and I know it's time to knock the thing down.
Could you possibly explain what you mean by "you guys don't really do much but make it seem like you will"
You see that the che, is try is there I like to think there's, my problem is not knowing how to go about "getting in a relationship, I've never Ben in one and am not sure how to go about it, if you could shed some light then and give me a push in the right direction it would be appreciated
- Show AllShow Less
LoL, what I would do? thats very complicated and not meant for public eyes, all I know is that one of two things is gonna happen, Im either gonna get the girl eventually or one of us is going to end up hurt haha...
Could you message me that haha, if that's not to much for the girl.

Farmers who got VeraSun letters are urged to reply
Farmers who sold corn to bankrupt ethanol producer VeraSun Energy Corp. are being urged to respond to official letters demanding most of the money back.
Nebraska Attorney General Jon Bruning says farmers might be able to fight VeraSun's creditors, but they must respond to the settlement offer they received by the court deadline of Sept. 30.
Farmers who were paid by VeraSun in the 90 days before it filed for bankruptcy protection in 2008 received the letters demanding they repay 80 percent of what VeraSun paid them for their corn.
State Sen. Annette Dubas of Fullerton says farmers should consult an attorney to see if they qualify to keep the money under bankruptcy law.
Creditors are in charge of the remnants of Sioux Falls, S.D., based VeraSun.

Canteen at the Market is small but truly amazing
It's Saturday afternoon and the Boss and I risk drowning on a trip to Blackrock. I'm not exaggerating – it's raining whales and elephants with winds of 700 miles an hour.
There's not many table-jockeys out there who will take chances like this just to keep their beloved readers up to gastronomic speed.
While the storm rages, we eventually hunker down for a badly-needed rest and hopefully a satisfying lunch.
We've dropped anchor at the back-end of a deserted Blackrock market in search of a rather lame-sounding restaurant called Market Canteen. It occupies a featureless space where you might normally expect to find a greasy spoon with extra grease on the side.
It seats about 22 covers in fairly spartan comfort. There's also the shortest-of-short menus, with two starters, two mains, a tart of the day and some cheese. Concise, titillating, and straight to the point.
But it's the size of the kitchen that first grabs me. I'm talking elbow-to-elbow room here, with three guys crammed in for hours on end and not a single fatality or a clatter or a bang or a frayed temper. Talk about being cool, civilised and serene.
And considering the remarkable foodie dreams that are being spun here, the end result is truly amazing.
Foodie dreams like the ham hock terrine with foie gras and a celeriac remoulade, fashioned with a smidge of grain mustard and (I think) cream rather than mayo. It's a mix'n'match, eye-widening delight.
And while I'm not sure the luxurious foie gras is at all needed, it is nonetheless delicious.
Likewise, the salmon mousse sausage thingy with a splash of deep green asparagus velouté. Artful and divine and a real cracker of a starter.
They whip out the star performer next – a wedge of perfectly-cooked cod. Its milky-white flakes easily slipping onto the fork, the fregola pasta and the peas going so incredibly well together, and little clouds of the lightest hollandaise sauce imaginable.
The other main is up next; a deep-flavoured rump and breast of lamb, spruced-up with wild garlic and fondant potato. It's a sultry and aromatic meat fest, the kind of dish I would usually expect to find in a high-end eatery with a high-end price.
Finally, they bring out a lemon tart that deserves to be worshiped. Maybe it's the hint of Christmassy marzipan, or the almost-runny lemon topping in wonderful buttery pastry. Whatever it is, this is the best lemon tart I have ever eaten.
These are extraordinary dishes. They laugh in the face of all those metrocentric, absurdly expensive posh gaffs in the city. And to eat such heavenly grub here, in (let's face it) this culinary backwater, makes the outcome taste even more pleasurable.
I'm sure the guys must have known they were taking a risk in opening here, but some ventures only make sense when they succeed.
And they really have succeeded, ending up with a 'destination restaurant' for people interested in eating great food regardless of where it's at.

According to Urban Dictionary the definition of charismatic is - adj. : possessing an extraordinary ability to attract; having a way with words.
I would say I'm charismatic. Actually, I wouldn't, but other people think I am. It surprises me every time someone tells me that.00|00|0
