The simmering row between Lewis Hamilton and Felipe Massa following the Singapore Grand Prix continues to rumble on with revelations in the weekend papers that shortly before the pair collided Massa was told by his team to "destroy" Hamilton's race.
The 12th-lap accident soon after, when Hamilton hit the back of the Ferrari, left Massa with a right-rear puncture and Hamilton with a broken front wing - he also was hit with a drive-through penalty.
Speaking over the radio, Massa's race engineer Rob Smedley told him: "Hold Hamilton as much as we can. Destroy his race as much as we can. Come on boy." This appeared to be an instruction to make it as hard as possible for Hamilton to pass.
The recording of the exchange casts a different light on events, especially Massa's post-race comments when he accused Hamilton of potentially causing "a big accident".
But the BBC's Martin Brundle wrote on Twitter that he was sure Smedley wanted Massa to "wreck Hamilton's strategy, not his car". He added: "Why would Massa damage his own car intentionally? [The] real story is Smedley must constantly direct and motivate his driver [and] has done for some time."

Report N1 (added on December, 30, 2013)
In the 2 letter she told me that she worked as model and have accounts in Switzerlan anf Finland with amount 80.000 USD and that talked english so well (in reality so bad). In the 4 letter she used very hard sex words. In the 7 asked me to send her an half of her expense to come to me. Super typical and stupid scammer.

Report N3 (added on April, 1, 2015)
I made the first contact with her on February 24th of this year on match, she was under the name of ImogenFranklin. Right away she lured me away from the website by sending me a message with her own email address as well as several pictures. We exchanged emails for about the last month and while I had my suspicions I decided to play it out, just waiting for her to ask for something and imagining the sob story to follow. I wanted to do some digging and so joined your site. Upon searching for some key words in your letter database I was able to quickly find some of the same letters that I had received. I believe that I am in contact with scammer Olga Metelewa from your database. I have been playing along since I found out and currently have her believing that I am working on a way to get her the rest of the money she needs to visit me in Canada ... $520 ... I have not yet sent her any transfers. Is there anything I can do to help catch her and put her away? What would be your advice on how to handle this other that sending her on a wild goose chase for a non-existent money transfer?

Aybar delivers walk-off win for Angels
Aybar delivers walk-off win for Angels
Aybar's two-out single lifted the Angels to a 3-2 win in 10 innings over the Mariners on Tuesday night in front of 37,725 at Angel Stadium.
Bobby Abreu led off the 10th with a single and was bunted to second by Reggie Willits. Aybar slammed a bullet through the middle against veteran right-hander Miguel Batista to end a show that had been extended when Mike Sweeney homered against Brian Fuentes to bring the Mariners even in the ninth.
"It's big," Aybar said of RBI No. 52 of a breakthrough season. "Right now we're trying to win as many games as we can. This was a big one for us."
It kept the surging Rangers 4 1/2 games off the Angels' American League West pace after Texas swept a doubleheader in Cleveland.
Kazmir met the challenge presented by Felix Hernandez, one of the game's dominant pitchers, with seven strong innings after yielding a homer to Franklin Gutierrez, the second man he faced.
"Throw up zeros and get as deep as I can," Kazmir said, defining his objective. Mission accomplished.
Kazmir's first win in his new No. 22 disappeared with Sweeney's drive over the center-field wall, beyond even Torii Hunter's storied reach.
"We felt good with the way we got there," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said, "with the way Kazmir threw the ball, the way Kevin threw the ball.
"Brian's been doing a job for us. Unfortunately, he didn't get a fastball where he wanted to Mike Sweeney, and we were in a tie ballgame."
Courtesy of Aybar, Abreu and Willits' collaborative effort, the win went to Matt Palmer (10-1) after the fifth Angels pitcher escaped a two-on jam in the top of the 10th.
Coming back from a shoulder issue that had sidelined him for nine games, Jason Bulger left two runners in scoring position in the ninth, striking out Ken Griffey Jr. and retiring Mike Carp following Sweeney's tying blow.
"I kept it down," Bulger said of his big curveball that struck out Griffey, the legend, with runners at second and third and one out. "You don't want to leave it hanging.
"I've faced him a couple times. That awe -- no matter who's in the batter's box -- is gone."
Kazmir certainly didn't hesitate in coming right after Ichiro Suzuki, catching the great one looking at a fastball to open the game and retiring him on a grounder next time.
Ichiro reached on Chone Figgins' second error in the sixth, but was erased on Gutierrez's double-play grounder to the third baseman. Ichiro grounded out his last two times at the plate, ending a rare 0-for-5 night.
That kept Ichiro at 195 hits in pursuit of his ninth consecutive 200-hit season.
"That shows you what kind of pitcher Kazmir is," Mariners manager Don Wakamatsu said. "Ichiro usually handles lefties pretty well, but it looked like [Kazmir] made him uncomfortable."
The 25-year-old Houston native came right after Ichiro with his premium stuff.
"Attack the zone and try to expand it," Kazmir said of his approach. "Try to get him on his heels, in and out. You have to throw quality pitches."
Kazmir used the ugliest pitch of his night, a hanging slider in Rob Johnson's eyes, to strike out the catcher and finish the seventh. This left Bill Hall at second after he'd singled and advanced on a passed ball by Mike Napoli.
"That was a designed hanging slider," Kazmir said, grinning.
Batista (6-4) absorbed the loss after Hernandez held the Angels to two runs, one earned, across seven innings.
Composing himself after Gutierrez's jolt, Kazmir found his rhythm in the rematch of Hernandez's 3-0 decision six days earlier in Seattle.
Kevin Jepsen's scoreless eighth had Fuentes in position for his 40th save. But Sweeney lifted the lefty's second pitch over the wall in center for his seventh homer of the year, depriving Kazmir of his first win as an Angel. He's 8-8 overall.
Sweeney wasn't thinking about going deep.
"Nah, I have never actually tried to hit a home run and actually done it," he said. "At the moment, it gave us a chance to play more baseball, but here we are at 10:30 [p.m. PT] and it doesn't mean squat.
"We're down to the point of the season where we pretty much have to win every game."
After Gutierrez's third career homer against Kazmir in his 13th at-bat, the Angels tied it in the third without a hit against Hernandez. He walked three men before Abreu delivered a sacrifice fly to score Napoli.
Hernandez's control cost him again in the fifth when Figgins worked a one-out walk, advanced on Maicer Izturis' single and scored when shortstop Jack Wilson was unable to handle Abreu's line shot on one hop. Wilson was charged with an error, making Figgins' league-high 104th run unearned.

Look It Up: Investor Orders Decillion Shekels in Bonds
Lawyers and underwriters for insurance company Menorah, which held a 200 million shekel bond issue on Sunday, were shocked when they opened the bidder envelopes and found a highly unusual offer. The bidder, a member of the securities exchange, sought to acquire Menorah bonds for itself and its customers totaling a decillion shekels.
The underwriters from Clal Finance Batucha "googled" the word decillion and learned that it means 10 to the power of 33. In other words, the bidder sought to acquire bonds equal to 10 to the power of 21 times the value of all the assets in Israel, which equal NIS 1.9 trillion.
The bidder was aware, of course, that only NIS 200 million worth of bonds were for sale. The investor wanted to make sure it would win all that it could. Because half the issue was limited to institutional investors, the bidder successfully ensured that it would acquire the balance.
The bidder took advantage of two failings in the existing method of public issues.
One is that there is no pricing, and bidding is only based on quantity. Therefore, at the maximum price offered, investors can enter huge bids to try to obtain a large portion of an issue. The phenomenon has been well known in the capital market for years. An order of a decillion, however, is a new record.
The second failing is that bids are only on paper. A bidder is not required to secure a loan of a decillion shekels to make such a bid, only submit a piece of paper with a number.
The prospectus' publishers also contributed to the fiasco, forgetting to limit the size of allowable orders. One investor noticed the oversight and seized the opportunity to make the huge order.
Aside from the other investors, a big loser is the Israeli capital market, seen by some observers as a market where absurd things can happen. The Israel Securities Authority is aware of this, and a new underwriting law that comes into effect in July is expected to prevent bidders from submitting inflated orders in auctions where prices are not limited.
The Israel Securities Authority also said that if necessary, to prevent inflated bids, it will consider limiting the maximum order to twice the size of the issue.

AUSTIN {AP} A Travis County sheriff's deputy has been shot and killed during a drug task force raid.
Deputy Keith Ruiz, 36, was shot between the two front panels of his bulletproof vest, said Lt. Jamie Page. He died at Brackenridge Hospital late Thursday after being transported by helicopter.
"There is no easy way to tell a woman her husband will not come home tonight," Sheriff Margo Frasier said in an emotional statement outside the hospital early Friday. The deputy also had three sons, she said.
A 12-year veteran of the sheriff's department, Ruiz was among a group of officers serving a drug search warrant when the shooting occurred about 9:30 p.m. at a mobile home park near Austin-Bergstrom International Airport.
Frasier said the bullet struck between Ruiz's bulletproof vest panels, hitting him in the chest. It struck a major artery and collapsed a lung, the sheriff said.
"They did everything they could," Frasier said, commending the work of paramedics and doctors. "He had simply lost too much blood."
The assailant was wounded in the hand and taken to an Austin hospital, authorities said.
Charges were expected to be filed Friday.

How can someone in NC still become an Amazon Affiliate?

Hi All,
I'm new to this forum and the NC Tax Issue. I have a company and I was thinking of signing up as an Amazon Affiliate, but due to this NC Tax Law I guess I can't now.
What are the options to legally proceed? Do you need to move out of North Carolina and take your company with you? Can you still reside in North Carolina and somehow register your company in another state?
Can any of you affected so dramatically by this issue please provide feedback on options? Amazon is sooooo huge it's a shame not to be able to utilize them.

You cannot live in North Carolina and join Amazon.
The law is similar to the one in NY but interpretation may differ. In NY doesn't matter where you incorporate if you still live in NY you can create a nexus and out of state merchants would have to collect & remit sales tax if sales threshold is met. Our initial review of the NC law indicates the same but we are in process of trying to verify. If possible consult your own lawyer.
Luckily, there are still many quality merchants that will allow you to join their programs. It is a matter of finding them. Search through the networks to find some great merchants. It will take several merchants to fill the place of Amazon but as many have learned, that diversification is the best avenue. Never, ever become dependent on just a couple merchants.Melanie

Aircraft engine maker Rolls-Royce Group PLC and car and truck maker Daimler AG confirmed widespread speculation Wednesday that they have formed a joint venture to buy German engine parts supplier Tognum AG for euro3.2 billion ($4.4 billion).
The two companies said their 50-50 joint venture was offering euro24 per share for all the share capital of Tognum. That's a 30 percent premium over Tognum's share price on Friday, before rumors of the deal surfaced.
The joint venture would also acquire the 28 percent stake that Daimler already holds in Tognum, which is based in Friedrichshafen, Germany. Tognum confirmed on Monday that it was in talks with Rolls-Royce and Daimler.
The joint venture would also take over Rolls-Royce's Bergen engine division.
Tognum produces engines, propulsion systems and components for marine, energy, defense and other industrial applications.
"The planned combination will provide a strong platform to realize the huge market potential," said Dieter Zetsche, chairman of Daimler' board of management.
Daimler CEO Dieter Zetsche said that the tie-up with Tognum would offer strong growth potential both in emerging markets, where demand is strong, and in richer countries, where older existing engines will need newer, more environmentally friendly replacements.
"This is not about synergies on the cost side, but about growth potential," Zetsche said. He said the deal was not aimed at cutting jobs and said that it was "good news for the workers."
"The complementary capabilities we are bringing together will provide us with a world leading proposition, and will enable us to expand the business by developing a broader portfolio of integrated power systems and services for existing and new customers," said Sir John Rose, CEO of Rolls-Royce Group.
Rolls-Royce shares were up 2.7 percent at 616.5 pence in early trading on the London Stock Exchange, while Daimler's stock rose 1 percent to euro49.75 in Frankfurt.
Rolls Royce Group, which makes aircraft engines and marine propulsion systems, is different from the luxury car maker, which belongs to German carmaker BMW AG.

On another note, I hate this team concept. These are designers, you have to let them show their individuality at their fullest and not be compromised by their fellow team members because they all have to work together. It's detrimental to their creativity. I hope they mix them together every week to make it more interesting or if not just do away with it after 3 or 4 episodes.
who would think that "Teams" make it a better show? We want to see talent...
sure we love a little drama but you get that naturally from life...I hate when it's "scripted."
But that's what we got.
Couple of thoughts - I found it odd that Susan Sarandon seemed so amazed at the concept of a skort. Whether called that or not, I didn't think it was such a particularly new or novel idea. Secondly, Tim actually was the one who encouraged the kilt (though not the highly inappropriate placement of the logo) as opposed to a more traditional jean - even though some of the team were leery, for the very reasons the judges disliked it.
Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
-- Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759
I think Benjamin is a tool.
I think Daniel is a class act and he's already my top choice for fan favorite, with Michelle not far behind.
I think uniforms aren't fashion and this challenge was a promofest for Susan Sarandon's club. I thought all the outfits were ridiculous.
I see nothing wrong with the designers creating uniforms. Fashion is about creating looks for clients, to meet the needs of their lifestyle or work, so there's no reason uniforms can't be fashionable. At a club, staff uniforms are an important part of the overall tone of the place. A formal place has more formal, traditional staff uniforms while an informal place has more informal, quirky uniforms.
Sure the uniforms are a promotion for the club, too. Just as an individual's outfit "promotes" them.
And somebody has to make uniforms for businesses. Should they go to someone who has no training in making clothes to create their uniforms? That wouldn't make any sense. If the designers feel that making uniforms is beneath them, they'll be cutting themselves off from a huge market for their clothes.

Supreme Court Judge Mr Justice Madan B Lokur today emphasized the need for courts to adopt latest technologies for transparency and speedy disposal of the cases.
Launching the first-ever e-court facility at Hyderabad High Court here on Sunday, Justice Madan B. Lokur said the officials should expedite data entry works. He said adequate staff must be allotted to e-court facility and judicial officials should make ample use of the technology besides updating the details pertaining to the cases. The e-court facility would avoid use of paper on the court premises and enable the judicial officials to update the details of various cases. The primary goal of the courts was to offer quick justice to the people, Lokur said and advised the judges and judicial officials to work in tandem and see that the cases are disposed off instantaneously.

Pitching: Aaron Northcraft (2-1) allowed two hits over five innings to pick up the win. Anthony DeSclafani (3-3) took the loss, his second straight, allowing seven hits and all of Mississippi's runs in five innings.

COMMERCE - Six months after a tornado ripped through a tight-knit neighborhood just north of downtown Commerce, some of its residents still are working to put their lives and homes back together.
Volunteers from the United Methodist Church's disaster relief ministry and Warren Chapel United Methodist Church in Commerce have helped residents along Pine Avenue, Cedar Street and in Ashworth Mobile Home Park rebuild more than half of the 20 or so homes damaged in the Aug. 26 storm.
There's still a lot of work left to be done, said construction supervisor Tommy Rainey.
But after spending more than $30,000, using almost all of the supplies donated to them and expending the labor of at least 100 different volunteers, the church's team is running short on both money and manpower.
Back in August, the short-lived storm struck quickly and only affected about 10 blocks of the city. People outside of the neighborhood may not have known about the full extent of the damage, said Barbara Pattman, a Warren Chapel member who coordinated the construction project.
The twister lasted only minutes, but ripped roofs off houses, sent trees crashing through living rooms and bedrooms, and generally caused havoc in the area.
"I don't think I've ever seen anything this bad," said Steve Anderson, a longtime Commerce resident who attends Warren Chapel and volunteered to help repair the damage.
Like many of the well-established residents in the neighborhood, Joyce Horne owns her home on Pine Avenue. She didn't have homeowner's insurance when the storm ripped away large swaths of shingles that day, and she didn't realize how much damage the storm had done until it started to rain.
"I woke up and thought that it was just raining outside really hard, but when I walked out of my bedroom, it was just a mess," Horne said. "It looked like there was more rain in here than out there."
Water was streaming into her living and dining rooms.
Before she could fix the leaks, the water had allowed mold to spread across her walls and floors - which meant she, her daughter and her grandson, who suffers from asthma, had to stay with relatives.
"I'm just ready for things to get back to normal," Horne said Saturday as she and her daughter helped a group of volunteers to sand down drywall in preparation to paint. "Some people might be able to live like this, but I need to get back to my routine."
During the first few months after the storm, dozens of volunteers from across Georgia would show up on any given Saturday, Pattman said. Helpers from Lawrenceville, Athens, Braselton and elsewhere cleared away debris, put on new roofs, replaced ruined floors and walls, and insulated attics.
"It really has been amazing how many volunteers have showed up and everything that Tommy (Rainey) has been able to get done," Pattman said. "We are really blessed that everyone came together to help these people rebuild their homes."
But now, with many of the repairs nearing completion, volunteers aren't as excited about the effort, Rainey said.
A thousand little things remain to be done at some of the homes, and two houses still need roofs and interior repairs, he said.
"I'll take yokels," said Rainey, who's been a contractor for more than 15 years and spent two years on the Gulf Coast rebuilding after Hurricane Katrina. "I'll take whoever. We'll teach you if you'll come and help."
He'll also take donations of cash or building supplies to help get the projects wrapped up, he said. Those interested in helping can contact Pattman at Warren Chapel United Methodist Church at (706) 335-5290.

Unit B Set for Resurrection: Skate Legends, Artists and Bands Launch Indiegogo Campaign to Re-Open Popular Underground Skate, Music and Art Venue in OC
This is a fundraiser for a skatepark and music venue in Orange County with some rad perks available with donations: Some pretty classic skateboarding images, skateboards, art, and more. The fundraiser is here.
Contributor Perks Include Iconic Photos by Grant Brittain, Atiba Jefferson, Bryce Kanights, Joe Brook, Michael Burnett and Dave Swift, Custom Board Designed by Ed Templeton
A group of skateboarders, musicians and artists have launched an IndieGogo campaign to reopen Unit B, underground music, skate and art venue, in Santa Ana. Iconic photos by legendary skate photographers are some of the perks for those that contribute to help raise the $22,000 needed by November 15, 2013 to support the relaunch.
The new Unit B will offer a true community space that will include a large mini ramp, a stage for live music, an art gallery space, rehearsal rooms and recording studio. Once open, the venue will offer concerts, skate events, art shows, record swaps, a library/bookstore and generally an inclusive community space for all ages.
"When the doors were closed at Unit B, it hurt. But I felt like it was an opportunity again; a chance to build on what we'd done at Unit B, and make it better, make it completely legal, and basically build a new spot that was designed to be what we want," said Mark Waters, skateboarder and the facilitator behind the project. "The new Unit B will be a community space like no other. By working with local bands, bookers, volunteers and other members of the community, we're on the path to creating this new Unit B. We need your help to make it as great as we all deserve."
Contributors can support the project for as little as a $5 donation. Perks include signature photos by famed skate, art and lifestyle photographers including Ed Templeton, Grant Brittain, Neil Blender, Atiba Jefferson, Joe Brook, Bryce Kanights, Michael Burnett and Dave Swift. Brands like Flip, Ricta, Mob, Emerica and more are offering products to contributors donating $90-$100. Other incentives include a custom Ed Templeton skateboard/art piece at the $800 level and a ramp/wall section sponsorship for individuals or companies at the $1,000 level.
"Skateboarding and music came together at Unit B in a perfect DIY setting, a place where up-and-coming bands could play with seasoned veterans of the scene: The way it was meant to be. Support your local scene or go home!" said Brian Brannon, singer of the legendary Skate Rock band JFA.

A man who pleaded guilty to a plot to attend a Somalia training camp with the dream of becoming a suicide bomber was sentenced Tuesday to nearly 10 years in prison.
Shaker Masri, 29, looked calm as a judge imposed the sentence for one count of attempting to provide material support and resources to a terrorist group. "That you were willing to die in harming others is extremely disturbing to this court," US District Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman told him. "There is a need to deter you, people such as Mr. Masri, from this type of behavior." (AP)

Sandile - South Africa
Astronomy is an interesting subject. It is good that you want to study it. See our lessons on Astronomy for some basic information.
Although maths are important in Astronomy, you can still learn much by studying the physical aspects of the subject.
You can get some good information from the Astronautical Society of Southern Africa, including information about scholarships. There are also branches in various South Africa cities.
Best wishes for success in your studies.
Suggested resource
Topic: Resources
September 7, 2014
I'm a home school instructor and I took my kids to the Adler Planetarium a few weeks ago on a field trip. Our kids had fun learning about the solar system and the moon. I used this guide as a reference (http://bebusinessed.com/telescopes/) and I think it would make a good addition to your page here: http://www.school-for-champions.com/astronomy/resources.htm
I hope this was helpful.
Sandra - USA
Thanks for the resource I added the link to the Astronomy Resources page.
Pulses of radiation
Topic: General
September 6, 2014
suppose there is a distant celestial source which emits pulses of radiation at regular intervals of exactly 100 seconds apart.
1.how many pulses would have been sent to the earth in one day (24hours)
2.if 50 such pulses were recorded for a spacecraft to reach a predetermined destination,what is this time interval in seconds?
monika - Bangladesh
To find the number of pulses in one day, convert 24 hours to seconds: 24 * 60 min/hr * 60 sec/min = 86400 sec. Divide by 100 second to get number of pulses: 86400/100 = 846 pulses.
The time interval for 50 pulses is 50 * 100 sec = 5000 seconds.
Constellations and religion
Topic: Constellations
July 9, 2014
School for Champions; I do not know if you have any religious beliefs or not. I am a Christian who is interested in astronomy from a more Biblical point of view.
I was born and raised up in Kermit, Texas where you can see the stars very clearly due to the reduction of big city lights. I used to climb to the top of our house so I could see the stars better even on the horizon. My mother would call me in because it would be getting so late. I am now an older man entering those so-called golden years with no gold!
I know how to read ancient Hebrew hieroglyphs and I noticed that some of the constellations or asterisms which circle close to the North Star looked like some of these hieroglyphs. I had often wondered why God put both a little dipper and a big dipper up in our night skies? Now I know that most of these constellations are not drawn as God intended them according to man! The northern cross is an obvious Christian emblem but is dismissed by the non-believers as just a pattern by luck.
Google, Aquilla Fleetwood, Night Signs. Click on to any site to see these constellations as God intended them. They are pointing us to Christ in ancient Hebrew hieroglyphic word picture form. Google, Jeff Benner, the North Star, for his amazing information. Google, Dr. Frank T. Seekins, Hebrew Word Pictures, for his information about this ancient Hebrew hieroglyphic writings and how Christ is embedded within it.
Indeed, the stars are for signs and the heavens declare the glory of God. Thanks, Aquilla (little eagle)
Aquilla - USA
You are fortunate to be in an area to be able to view the stars at night without the glare from city lights.
Although the Bible states that God created the heavens and the earth. I don't believe there area any Bible phrases indicating the constellations were meant to represent anything, except that man could view the stars and see they are the work of His hands.
Since the stars have been in motion and change their position with respect to the earth, many constellations have changed positions and shape over the years. The symbolism of a constellation may be a result of man's faith.
Four characteristics of the moon
Topic: Moon
June 10, 2014
I am asking for 4 characteristics of the moon
sello - South Africa
The characteristics are listed in Characteristics of our Moon.
You could select size, mass, density, as well as the lack of Oxygen, and lower gravity than Earth.
Are there other universes?
Topic: General
May 26, 2014
is there any other universe?
Akhtar - Pakistan
It is quite possible that there are other universes. See: Theory of Multiple Universes (Multiverse) for more information.
Put solar panels on the Moon
Topic: Moon
April 22, 2014
Actually this has to do with solar power. Why not set up a large array of solar panels on the moon, and send the energy back to earth? By using microwave or laser beam technology. We would have an abundance of solar power (electricity). Get rid of nuclear power.
Mark - USA
Although you could create electricity with the solar panels on the Moon, there would be no good way to send that energy back to the Earth. Perhaps by creating microwaves and sending them back to Earth and then converting the energy to electricity might work. But that is a round-about way of getting the energy and would be very expensive and may not be effective.
There had been talk about placing huge reflective panels in orbit to reflect light to the Earth at night. That idea was dropped a number of years ago as not being practical.
The best solution is using solar panels on Earth, such that the distances are not so immense.
It is great that you are thinking of creative ways to find clean energy. Keep coming up with new ideas.
Why study the night sky?
Topic: Observations in Astronomy
April 4, 2014
What knowledge modern people gain from studying the night sky?
Roula - Australia
You can determine direction by observing the stars in the night sky. For the average person, examining the stars and planets through a telescope can be enlightening. Modern scientists can seek out new galaxies and observe events to help understand the physics of the Universe.
Are there a lot of galaxies?
Topic: General Topics
March 2, 2014
Is in universe there are lot of galaxies?
shital - India
In the Universe, there are billions of galaxies, and within each galaxy, there are billions of stars.
It is hard to imagine such large numbers.
Where can I get a telescope?
Topic: Observations in Astronomy
December 28, 2013
Please where can i get a Telescope and how much is it?..thank u.
Moses - Malawi
Although you can order telescopes online through such sites as Amazon.com, it might be better to try a local camera store in Malawi. They often sell telescopes or can direct you to a store that does sell them.
Also, you can try to get a used telescope.
Best wishes in finding a telescope.

A 17th Century pub in Tottenham has reopened after a £185,000 refurbishment.
Customers were invited to enjoy a glass of champaigne and see the new-look Ferry Boat Inn, in Ferry Road, at a VIP reception last Friday.
The pub was originally the dwelling of 17th Century ferrymen and has plenty of period features which have been retained.
Tracy Lynch, general manager of the pub, said: "The pub is steeped in history and character and it's important to us that we enhance its features at the same time as bringing it up to date with new décor and furniture."
The reopening has also created three new jobs.

Looks and sounds delicious Tammy! Your decorating skills are very good.
Good afternoon. I think it is a wonderful looking cake.
Enjoy the rest of the day what is left of it.
Thanks Rozanne & Freshkid.
I still have trouble getting the frosting on the cake even and smooth and the corners sharp. I was afraid of messing with it too much and quit while I was ahead. LOL
....I wished I would have used a smaller tip to write the message too.
Where can I learn to frost a cake smoothly and make corners look like corners? I took a Wilton cake 1 class last month but she didn't show us how to do that.
Come visit my blog
YUM. The flowers look amazing!!!!!!1

I wish I could pop one of those roses in my mouth!! Great work. Tell us what the reaction is when you deliver it!
Your cake looks really delicious, and I'm sure it was too! PB & chocolate - what's not to love? Your piping is gorgeous! Such neat handwriting, and beautiful roses!
Tammmy, are those ganache roses? Wow, I didn't know you could pipe roses from ganache, how wonderful! How did it work to add the confectioner's sugar? Another option would be a tablespoon of corn syrup, but probably only one as more might thin it out too much.
Lovely cake, thanks for sharing!
coming in late to say that peanut butter mousseline is one of the best things on earth! i don't subtract any of the butter either. i wanted to add that I buy costco's organic PB which is a little more peanut butter-y and it is even better than jif.
one of our specialty cakes is choc butter cake with peanut butter MBC filling and choc ganache coating. it tastes devine and looks absolutely beautiful when sliced.
i also do nutella and add a touch of orange zest. we call it the "ella nutella" cupcake flavor.

I've never been a terrible flyer — no nausea, white knuckles or panic attacks — but I've never enjoyed it. Forget the uncomfortable seats, cramped spaces and rude passengers; I'm not a fan of flying in a large metal tube thousands of feet above the ground.
I've said before that heights are my biggest fear. So it isn't much of a stretch to believe that I'm afraid of flying. Turbulence makes me nervous, along with just about every other noise a plane makes.
So, I've been watching with interest (and despair) the news reports regarding the Malaysia Airlines flight that went missing. Those searching for the plane don't know where to look and speculation seems to be the only thing left for people to do. They went off course here, not there. They kept flying for hours after communications stopped. Terrorism. Mechanical problems. Aliens even. Who knows?
Yet somehow I can't take my eyes away from the news reports that flood the news networks, newspapers and the Internet.
I feel for the grieving families and fear for those who were on the plane. Not because I know any of them personally, or have any false sense of belief that I can help them, but because I fear that it could be me someday.
Each time I get on a plane, the worst goes through my head. I'm not sure why, maybe mental preparation? When I was younger, my family went on a vacation and we flew there. I don't remember where we were going, but I remember looking up at the TV in the terminal and watching a news report on a plane crash.
I was petrified.
On another vacation, the flight we were on went straight through a thunderstorm. I swear the lightning outside was so close I could touch it. Each clap of thunder shook the plane like a baby's rattle. Or, at least that is what I recall.
The delays, canceled flights and other traveling inconveniences never bothered me as much as they seemed to bother others. I think I was happy to keep my feet on the ground just a little bit longer.
But in the meantime, I'll keep watching the news reports. I'll keep hoping the folks on that plane are OK — despite waning hopes and increasing fears.

Jakob & Mollee - Viennese Waltz (Jason Gilkison) to Ordinary day
Good solid routine - but as I've said before it's hard to get votes with a waltz. Oh, they just gave Jakob some leaps to spice things up. Mollee was kind of forgettable for me in that.
Adam: So beautiful; great casting, choreographer, and idea. One more week saying one of the best dancers I've ever seen. Loved the last lift and the butterflys.
Mary: Great partnering; made the "pretzel turns" work and great lifts. Mollee is gaining confidence with each routine.
Nigel: Beautifully crafted simplistic routine takes my breath away. Had the constant flow of movement. Fit together like a beautiful jigsaw puzzle.

Legacy & Ellenore – Contemporary (Travis Wall)
Yes - that's Kayla assisting Travis.
That is one DANGEROUS routine - flipping around on the table. And Legacy jumping over. Great number! I want to see that again! Travis, I think I hear the Emmys calling!
Adam: I love any choreographer who understand how close dancing and murder are. It was like watching home movies of my parents! Maximized the couple to beautiful effect.
Mary: So strong and tailor made for the two of you; the roll up and roll down; the flip over the table; Ellenore was fearless.
Nigel: Loved that it was so dangerous; being pushed that hard. The headstand on the table! Travis has Emmy potential.

I didn't really like that Travis routine, and normally I like his stuff. I think it's because it wasn't an original idea, Mr and Mrs. Smith and the table has been done before. Plus, I don't like Legacy (what IS his real name, anyhow?).

OK, I'm just throwing this out, I'm not sure I actually believe it, it just kinda jumped into my brain (scarry, that). Anyway, Russel doesn't have any dance training and I'm wondering if his lack of training leads to injuries, not to himself but to his partners as this is the second time his partner has been injured in rehearsals. Opinions?

BMW introduced the 3 Series Gran Turismo at this year's Geneva Motor Show as a unique and fitting entry into their 3 Series lineup. The Sports GT produces 306 horsepower and 295 lb-ft. of torque from a 3.0 liter V6 in-line engine. Drivers will be going from 0 – 100 km/h in 5.7 seconds before hitting an electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h. The active rear spoiler is the first of its type on a BMW and provides an added visual lightness while reducing lift at touring speeds.
Take a look at the new model above and look for it to hit the open road in the coming months.

When you install an earlier version of Windows for dual booting with Windows Vista, like Windows Server 2003, or Windows XP, or Windows 2000, Windows Vista no longer starts. If you install an additional copy of Windows XP on a computer that already dual boots Windows XP and Windows Vista, you may receive Disk read error has occurred when starting your computer.
These issues occur because the startup method or Windows NT-based operating systems and the new Windows Vista startup method is incompatible. Windows Vista uses a new Boot Configuration Database (BCD) store, which contains a boot menu and all the information about operating systems that are installed on the computer. Earlier Windows NT-based operating systems on X86 computers use the boot sequence described here.
When Windows Vista starts on a BIOS-based computer, the BIOS loads the MBR and then runs the code in the boot sector which loads Bootmgr.exe (Windows Boot Manager). Bootmgr.exe parses the BCD store to enumerate the operating systems and displays the boot menu. If you select an earlier operating system to start, Bootmgr.exe transfers control to the earlier Ntldr.exe.
When you install an earlier operating system, Setup overwrites the MBR, so the Windows Boot Manager doesn't load.
To restore Windows Boot Manager:
1. Log on the earlier operating system as an administrator.
1. Open a CMD.EXE window.
2. Type CD-ROM:\boot\bootsect.exe -NT60 All and press Enter, where CD-ROM: is the drive letter that contains the Windows Vista media.
3. Restart your computer in Windows Vista.
4. Use Start / Accessories and right-click the command-prompt shortcut, pressing Run as Administrator.

A TBI release stated that Patrick Valdez and Erin Chism, both 18, have each been charged with one count of felony harassment and one count of felony conspiracy to commit harassment.
TBI said Valdez wrote and produced a song that referenced sexually assaulting and killing the victim, killing her family and burning her house down. Chism then sent the song to the victim on Facebook.

It's that old question we've all had to answer at some point. Do you want something reliable that you can always depend on to get the job done and never makes mistakes, but lacks a real "WOW!" factor? Or do you want something that might let you down occasion, but flashes such amazing potential you get goosebumps just thinking about the potential?
That's basically the situation the Chargers find themselves in as Saturday's roster cutdown deadline approaches. For my money, the preseason's most compelling story line has been at wide receiver. Richard Goodman, Seyi Ajirotutu and Bryan Walters all proved they belong in the NFL. But, unless the Chargers decide to hold on to seven wideouts (and, given the relative lack of depth at middle linebacker, I don't know why they wouldn't seriously consider it) those three guys are fighting for two roster spots.
Ajirotutu has the most extensive resume. Last year he earned a spot on the practice squad, was signed to the team after a rash of injuries, and won a game ball for his two touchdown performance in Houston. I'd have to assume he's going to get a spot.
So that leaves Goodman and Walters. Goodman is vastly more gifted physically. He's faster and more explosive. But, he's also prone to lapses in judgment, as we saw against the Patriots last season when Richard dropped a ball to celebrate a catch even thought he hadn't been tackled.
If Goodman is the sportscar that looks good but spends too much time in the shop, then Walters is a Volvo. He's not flashy, just super reliable. Walters had a kickoff return for a touchdown and caught another touchdown pass. He's always in the right place and doesn't drop the ball. But, he's not the guy you turn to when you need a game-breaking play.
I'm torn on this. You can never have too many playmakers on offense. But, the Chargers already have so many playmakers on offense it would be nice to have that security blanket they can always fall back on. Bottom line, I hope both guys make the team. Norv Turner and Philip Rivers will find a way to use them both. We'll find out soon if they'll get that chance.

The Association Rule Theory and Its Application on the Complete Lattice
In recent years, with the rapid development of information science and technology, people accumulate more and more data, but often fall into the situation of "Wealth of data and poor in knowledge". It becomes increasingly important to use the sharply increasing data with a lot of important unvoiced information. The data mining emerged, whose aim is to identify potential rules and to extract useful knowledge from the data. At present, data mining has become a very active frontier area in computer science and has a successful application in market analysis, financial investment, health, environmental protection, product manufacturing and scientific research and makes very significant social and economic benefits.

Hobby becomes a business
Guns are a recurring theme in Leroy Van Brunt's office. On one wall, there is a frame that displays a series of bullets in different sizes. On another is a poster with the Second Amendment to the Constitution, guaranteeing citizens the right to bear arms. There is a Ziploc bag on his desk filled with large-caliber bullets, and Van Brunt holds one in his hands as he talks.
Firearms have been a nearly lifelong hobby for Van Brunt, but now they are the way he makes his living. After 40 years in the insurance business, Van Brunt is putting all his energy into Lone Rock LLC, a firearms transfer business he started a couple of years ago largely as a convenience for local NRA fundraisers, which needed a licensed transfer agent to hold weapons until the people who win them can clear a background check.
The business grew over the years as others found Van Brunt, so when he was ready to step back from selling insurance, he turned his attention to weapons.
Firearms transfer agents like Van Brunt are a necessary step for anyone who buys a weapon online. The weapons have to be shipped to a transfer agent, who holds it until the purchaser can prove he or she can legally own the weapon. Van Brunt doesn't have to handle the sale to act as transfer agent, but if someone is looking to order a firearm, Van Brunt has connections with half a dozen distributors.
For Van Brunt, the new business is a fun way to keep busy rather than a way to make a living. He was getting burned out on insurance, and his new business, which he runs by appointment only, gives him much more flexibility. He was able to travel to Indiana last month to attend grandparents' day at his grandchild's school. He's going to Texas this weekend to see family.
'I'm basically retired," Van Brunt said. "I just do this as a hobby. It can be a service for local people. It's a reasonable cost, and they don't have to run all over creation to find someplace they can transfer (their firearms)."
Most of the weapons Van Brunt handles are rifles, but he deals with a little bit of everything. As long as it's a legitimate firearm, he can transfer it.
There is a lot of recordkeeping involved in running the business. Van Brunt has to know where the weapons are coming from and where they are going. He's had one customer fail a background check, and he's heard from the FBI once looking for transfer information on one of the weapons he handled. He didn't ask for details, because he figured they weren't likely to share.
"You've gotta make sure everything is done exactly right or you'll be in deep trouble," Van Brunt said. "I don't need that at this time in my life."
Van Brunt has been around firearms nearly all his life. Growing up on a farm in southern Minnesota he enjoyed hunting. He bought his first deer rifle when he was in seventh or eighth grade.
"I know I was too young to buy it," he said. "My brother had to go down with me."
Van Brunt has been involved in the Dakota County Gun Club since it opened, and he competes regularly in cowboy action shooting, an event in which participants dress up as Old West cowboys and fire period-appropriate weapons. The rifle Van Brunt uses for competition is more than 130 years old.
"It's a fun hobby," he said. "It's like golf."
Now, his hobby just happens to be the way he makes his living.

Downdraft wind that moved shed didn't rise to tornado status
A downdraft wind that managed to moved one Clarence shed late Saturday afternoon fell far short of being a tornado, according to the National Weather Service.
"It went quickly on through and fizzled away," said meteorologiist Bill Hibbert, working out of the Weather Service offices at Buffalo Niagara International Airport, Cheektowaga. Office co-workers, he said, noticed a photo of a patch of grass missing where a shed once stood on the Twitter feed of Scott Levin, of WGRZ-TV, Channel 2.
The gusts, Hibbert said, were fleeting, moving from Harris Hill and all but disappearing at Rapids in Niagara County, within a 20-minute span. "There was nothing tornadic about it," he added.
Stormy weather may follow a warm spell in the new week. Sunday's temperatures in the upper 70s will climb into the mid-80s by Tuesday and Wednesday. However, a cold front Wednesday evening will drop temperatures into the mid-70s, possibly triggering stormy weather.

Would Israel Accept a State-and-a-half Solution?
Abbas' decision to resign brings end of PA closer, along with Netanyahu's decision on dividing land.
Kadima MK Shaul Mofaz's peace plan is a refreshing change, particularly in light of his past, although no peace agreement will emerge from it. For 21 years and a day, since the Palestine Liberation Organization declared independence in Algiers, its leaders have not lowered their price: recognition of Israel and an end to hostilities in exchange for a Palestinian state within the June 4, 1967 borders with East Jerusalem the capital. The only "discount" that Israel has received since then was Yasser Arafat's concession of 2 percent of the West Bank in exchange for other territory and safe passage between the West Bank and Gaza Strip. That was the only deal that won Arab consensus.
Jordan's King Hussein, considered an especially moderate leader, said that after the Six-Day War he rejected Israeli offers to get back 98 percent of the territories, but not Jerusalem. In Avi Shlaim's book "Lion of Jordan: The Life of King Hussein in War and Peace," the king is quoted as saying that for him it was a matter of getting back every centimeter or nothing. It would be hard to find an expert in Israel's intelligence community who would suggest that Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas was going to offer Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu one millimeter more.
And yet, perhaps precisely because of this, Netanyahu wants to meet with the Palestinian leader and is worried that Abbas will retire and go home. For 16 years, the soft murmur of the "peace process" that has been leading nowhere has drowned out the roar of the bulldozers that are deepening the occupation. What will the Israeli government do if the day after Abbas resigns the Palestinian Legislative Council in Ramallah decides to disperse and dissolve the Palestinian Authority? What will happen if after this, Prime Minister Salam Fayyad locks the government ministries and stops paying the police's salaries?
Netanyahu knew what he was talking about when he told U.S. President Barack Obama that he needs Abbas and Fayyad. Without them there are no negotiations; without negotiations there are no donor countries; without donor countries there are no salaries; without salaries there is no PA, or as Hamas calls it, "the Dayton government" (named for the American general who oversaw the training and funding of the PA's security forces). No PA, no security forces. Without security, there is either Somalization or Israelization of the West Bank.
What will Israel do if Abbas announces that by a reasonable date, say, December 31, 2010, the option of a state and a half - Israel and alongside it a Palestinian entity - will go the way of the West Bank's "village leagues" of the 1980s? The question therefore is not why Netanyahu needs Abbas and Fayyad, but why they need Netanyahu.
Prof. Sari Nusseibeh, among the most moderate of the Palestinian elite, who long ago gave up on the idea of a two-state solution, proposed that the PA be dissolved more than a year ago. He even urged the European Union to stop funding the PA, claiming that the money was funding the fig leaf of the Israeli occupation.
Nusseibeh suggested that the Europeans condition aid on the establishment of an independent state for the Palestinians or earmark it for their integration into Israeli society. Such a policy would perhaps shake the Israelis and the Palestinians out of their complacency and lack of commitment to a peace agreement, Nusseibeh told Haaretz in August 2008. His position is now being echoed throughout the territories.
Abbas' decision to end his political career brings the end of the PA in Ramallah closer, along with Netanyahu's moment of decision on dividing the land. While Mofaz has not given Netanyahu the magic political formula that will bridge the gap between the Bar-Ilan speech and Abbas' resignation speech, Mofaz took away Netanyahu's political excuse by bypassing Kadima leader Tzipi Livni on the left.
Netanyahu can no longer hide behind the threat that halting construction in the settlements and painful concessions will bring down his government. If Netanyahu is serious about a two-state solution, he has 32 partners at his disposal: the Kadima MKs and the four Labor rebels who will be glad to replace the rejectors of compromise in Likud and its partners to the right.

After proving our resilience throughout the economic crisis, today, Bombardier is at a turning point
Bombardier Inc. delivered a fourth-quarter result Thursday that fell short of expectations as margins in both its plane and train divisions came under pressure.
Share in the company fell 6.5% in early morning trading to $4 a share on the Toronto Stock Exchange as of 10:14 a.m. on the weak quarter and outlook for 2013.
But management characterized 2012 as a "turning point" in Bombardier's history with the cost-cutting measures taken during the recession and several new products, including its new CSeries aircraft, in development.
Management said the CSeries remains on track for first flight by the end of June, but its new LearJet 85 is now expected to enter service in mid-2014, about six months later than previously expected.
Pierre Beaudoin, Bombardier chief executive, said the first CSeries flight test vehicle will be on display at an unveiling ceremony at its facility in Mirabel, Que., on March 7.
The Montreal-based manufacturer reported adjusted net income of $188-million, or 10¢ a share, for the fourth quarter, compared to $227-million, or 13¢ a share, a year ago.
Analysts had been expecting earnings of 12¢ a share, according to Bloomberg estimates.
"Our results for 2012 are not reflective of our potential," Mr. Beaudoin said in a statement. "After proving our resilience throughout the economic crisis, today, Bombardier is at a turning point."
Overall revenue improved nearly 9% during the quarter to $4.8-billion, and Mr. Beaudoin pointed to the company's record $66.6-billion backlog at the end of 2012, which was a 19% improvement year-over-year.
But margins in both the aerospace and transportation division were under pressure during the quarter with several new aircraft programs in the works, and significant restructuring undertaken in its train division.
Fadi Chamoun, BMO Capital Markets analyst, said the company's fourth-quarter earnings and outlook for 2013 were weaker than expected and could put pressure on the stock Thursday. But the forecast does look brighter for 2014 and beyond, especially in the aerospace division, which is targeting substantial margin growth.
Revenue from the aerospace division was $2.6-billion during the quarter, up from $2-billion a year ago. But its margin fell to 3.4% during the quarter, compared to 6.3% in 2012, resulting in a drop in earnings before interest and tax for the division to $89-million from $127-million a year ago.
Bombardier delivered 233 aircraft during 2012, down from 245 the previous year.
But the company said it expects to deliver roughly 245 aircraft, including 190 business jets and 55 commercial aircraft, in 2013.
For the year, the aerospace division had a margin of 4.7% in 2012, and management said it expected that to remain largely the same in 2013.
But in 2014, the company expects an EBIT margin of roughly 8% before a 2% dilutive impact from the entry-into-service of the CSeries aircraft.
Management said the CSeries remains on track for first flight by the end of June, and that the assembly of the first flight test vehicle is in "advanced stages" with all the primary structures, including the wings, landing gear, stabilizers, and most recently, the engines, assembled on the plane.
Progress had also been made on the subsequent flight test vehicles, the company said, and the static test airframe was completed in December followed by its certification in February.
The company also saw a substantial spike in order intake, receiving 343 net orders last year for its business jets compared to 191 the previous year.
It also received 138 firm orders for its commercial aircraft last year, compared to 54 in the previous year.
Meanwhile, the company said its transportation revenue slipped to $2.2-billion during the quarter, from $2.3-billion a year ago.
The train divisions earnings before interest and tax, and special items, fell to $86-million, from $166-million, however, after its margin decreased to 4% from 7.2% a year ago.
As a result, the group has embarked on several cost cutting measures, including a plant closure in Germany during the quarter and the reduction in staff of roughly 1,200 people, including those at the plant in Germany. A restructuring charge of $119-milllion was recorded during the quarter as a result.
New orders reached $9.4-billion for the train division during the fourth quarter, compared to $9.7-billion a year ago.
The company said it expected transportation revenue to be higher than in 2012, in the high-single-digit range, although it may vary significantly from quarter to quarter.
It also pushed out its margin target of 8% for the train division by a year to 2014, and gave no margin guidance for 2013.
"While we believe that the Street had relatively low expectations for margins in 2013, the guidance in Aerospace is lower than our current forecast and likely below consensus," said Cameron Doerksen, National Bank Financial analyst, in a statement.
"The push-out of Transportation's margin target to 2014 should not be a surprise as most forecasts (including ours) were not assuming the level of profitability for 2013 anyway," he added.
Mr. Beaudoin, however, said he believed the company was on the cusp of significant growth.
"Our three main drivers will allow us to deliver long-term sustainable growth," Mr. Beudoin said. "The first driver is our portfolio of state-of-the-art products and services, which will be further fortified as several innovative platforms roll out of our facilities starting in 2014."
"The second is our expanding presence in key markets worldwide which brings us closer to our customer base, and finally, the strengthening of customer satisfaction through flawless execution on every order. These are exciting times at Bombardier and we're on the cusp of seeing significant revenue growth," he added.
