East Yorkshire residents are being assured that "the end is in sight" for delays caused by maintenance works on the Humber Bridge.
Motorists have been left frustrated by long delays at peak times while the work has been undertaken throughout the year on one of the region's key transport links.
But the plan is to complete the maintenance works, which are being carried out by engineering firm Spencer Group, in February.
The essential work involves replacing steel supporting frames which connect the deck of the bridge to the towers.
In order to ensure that the bridge was not overloaded during the process, a lane had to be closed on both sides of the road, restricting the flow of traffic across the structure.
Thanking all Humber Bridge users on both sides of the river for their patience, general manager and bridge master Peter Hill said that they wouldn't have to suffer queues for too much longer.

Belfast, United Kingdom (PressExposure) September 05, 2012 -- Respected self protection instructor and author Neal Martin has just released a new e-book through his blog, Combative Mind.
Neal is a certified instructor under the legendary self defence guru Geoff Thompson, the man hailed by Black Belt Magazine as the most influential self defence instructor in the world. Like Geoff Thompson, Neal has spent many years working as a bouncer and teaching martial arts and self defence.
"Working doors for so long I learned about real violence," Neal says. "I also learned how to deal with real violence, the best solutions for self defence."
It is because of his extensive experiences in dealing with real violence on a regular basis that Neal was able to compile his latest book, which gives people ways to train self defence in a very practical and realistic manner, completely preparing them for the real thing on the street.
The e-book contains over forty drills that are guaranteed to enhance and accelerate anyone's self defence training, no matter what style they happen to train in.
Included in the book are: striking drills, defensive drills, anti-grappling drills, multiple attacker drills, knife awareness drills, blindfolded drills, solo training drills, combative psychology drills, awareness enhancement drills and many more.
"Training self defence the wrong way can be dangerous," Neal says. "I wrote this book to show people the right way to train self defence, a way that will help people and actually prepare them for real violence encounters."
The problem with most self defence training, according to Neal, is that most people train it in a completely wrong way. They tend to train it in a martial arts way, instead of in a realistic street way. This is why most people fall down when confronted by a real attacker in the street.
"The drills in this book are based upon realistic training methods and my own experiences from working doors," Neal says. "Do the drills as described in the book and you will vastly increase your chances of surviving a real street attack."

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 184.108.40.206
Forum Moderators: DixonJones & mademetop
I have noticed a significant difference between the number of clicks that Yahoo is reporting vs the statistics Clicktracks and Google Analytics are giving me.
Over the same period:
Yahoo is reporting around 1800 PPC clicks.
Clicktracks is reporting a Yahoo total of 750, however when I segment that to split natural and paid search, that figure drops to give me around 355 paid Yahoo referrals.
Google Analytics gives me 739 Yahoo visitors in total (thats PPC & Natural).
As both of my stats above use JavaScript tracking, I thought I'd get the log files analysed, so another version of Clicktracks reported 501 Yahoo PPC visitors.
I realise that statistics will never be 100% accurate but Clicktracks Hosted, Clicktracks Pro, Google Analytics all suggest that Yahoo's report is wildly inaccurate.
Has anyone else experienced issues like this, and if so - any advice?
And, are CT and GA talking visits while Yahoo is displaying clicks?
My Clicktracks data is collected using JavaScript tracking. All of my PPC ads user parameterised URLs in this format:
In Clicktracks - I use the 'search report' which lists the unsegmented total number of visitors from Yahoo (750 visitors), and the number of Yahoo PPC (355 visitors) using my label which looks for the number of Yahoo visitors which entered the site with r=yahoo in the URL. I used the same method against my logfiles in another version of Clicktracks as well.
What is the difference between 'clicks' and 'visitors'?
At this point, if I were you, I would try to see if all the numbers are at least based on the same number of clicks. Forget visits and visitors right now. Can you get, from GA and/or Clicktracks, the numbers of hits (or "page views" or "views") for anything with "r=yahoo" in the URL? It doesn't matter whether "r=yahoo" occurs at the beginning or the middle of the visit - a full, simple count is what you need.
If that comparison of total hits is off by a lot, then there is indeed an underlying problem somewhere. One possible source of this problem is that not all of your Yahoo PPC clicks are coming through with that r=yahoo attached. This is something to check - both in your Yahoo setup AND in reality by clicking on a few of your ads. Another is that log file analysis may not tabulate two identical, successive hits as 2 separate counts. I'm not sure Google Analytics does either - it may count the second as a refresh of the first and leave it out. Of course, you want Yahoo to count a doubled click as 1, not 2, but I don't know if it does it that way.
If those numbers do match closely enough, then your problem is how the two analytics programs are dividing up those hits into visits, or into visitors. Does either program ONLY count a visit as being PPC referred if the referral marker (r=) is in the very first hit of the visit? That could be a big issue right there - all the visits where the PPC hit happens in mid-visit.
How are these programs sessionizing hits into visits? If with a cookie, good. If IPaddress or IP/UserAgent, then your "visits" number is highly suspect and probably much too low. GA uses cookies, but I don't know about ClickTracks.
Are any of your PPC ads going to domain names or landing pages that then redirect immediately to another page or domain? If so, it's possible that the r=yahoo is being stripped off.
Are you sure you are comparing identical time periods? If you're looking at a day of data, the different programs may be using different 24-hour periods ... using midnight based on Greenwich/Universal time, or the server's time zone, or your own time zone.
With regard to how Clicktracks is tracking, offhand I don't know but I can check - my assumption is that it uses cookies (is there any other way if it's hosted tracking?) as the combined Yahoo Natural and PPC figure of 750, is very close to the combined Google Analytics figure of 739 - so even without the PPC/Natural segmentation, the figure is still wildly out of kilter with the Yahoo PPC report.
The logfile version of Clicktracks revealed combined PPC/Natural Yahoo referrals of around 1000 which is expected when you consider that a certain percentage of users will have JavaScript turned off - again way way off the Yahoo report.
As a side note, the respective figures for Google and MSN all tie together quite nicely, there is no significant disparity with those PPC reports.
Interesting stuff, once again thankyou for your suggestions, it's always good to pick the brains of other clever people on this forum.
First of Yahoo acknowledged there was some clickfraud going on and credited the account, but what do you think of this issue...
As cgrantski was advising earlier I've tried to find statistics that match up more with numbers stated by Yahoo and on the Clicktracks site overview report when I look at 'Number of Visitors' it gives me the following for the week 8-14 March:
r=Google 13792
r=MSN 307
r=yahoo 2087
This is largely in line with the reports from the respective ppc admin tools:
Google = 14,719
Yahoo = 2,271
But then I delved into the clicktracks search report:
r=google 11384
r=MSN 291
r=Yahoo 525
This is a puzzler. All of my ads are parameterized and the results on the 'site overview' seem to back that up as they are largely in line with expectation.
Clicktracks is recognising that around 2000 visitors come to the site with the parameter 'r=yahoo'... but is then saying that only 525 are actually being referred by yahoo.
Just to compare this against what Google Analytics says:
(Unsegmented unfortunately so this includes both natural & PPC)
Google = 14,363
Yahoo = 848
Now based on my rough percentages of natural traffic, around 35% of the yahoo referrals were natural which keeps things roughly in line with Clicktracks search report.
The question I am now asking myself is - how are Google Analytics & Clicktracks working out the identity of the referring server, it almost looks as if both Google Analytics and clicktracks are not capturing this information (although where the blame lies for this I would not know).
I hope I've made some sense during this post, the volume of stats I am throwing about can be a bit overwhelming at times. :)
Second, referrers are often absent, for a big variety of reasons, even when there WAS what you'd call a referring site. Do a search on something like "direct traffic no referrer" for lots of discussions about all the reasons. There's a WebTrends Outsider blog that has a pretty complete list that I refer to, and probably plenty of others just as complete. It's been discussed here in WebmasterWorld also.
Trust your parameters. If you have the right reports, they'll give you an idea of the real source of all those syndicated ads (if they can be identified at all), and that can be eye-opening.

Last week, i went to Johor Bharu and Singapore for a short visit at JB and Singapore together with my parents and my aunty. The trip was nice and smooth where i enjoy it very much.
Long time i was not in JB and Singapore where my last visit was 4 years ago during my convocation at UTM. My comment to Johor Bharu during my recent trip is Johor Bharu totally changed to a new look and well develop in term of infrastructure, facilities and development. This is because the gateway of southern - State of Johor was still ruling by the Barisan Nasional Government that we all knowing that only Barisan Nasional can bring the development for the state.
My story not end here, although i enjoy my trip very much at JB and Singapore, but i faced with a bad experience with Airasia when i check in. Actually, i do have pre book luggage handling fees for 3 luggages under my name that recommended by Kuching Airport Sales Officers. However, we are group of 4pax under two different booking number (my booking got 3 pax and another booking got 1 pax) were we might allocate for 60kg for luggages. But, the three luggages was 48kg which mention by the officers that it is over weight although we are travel 4 pax, so, i was force to pay either RM45 for 3kg overweight charge or Rm10 for another booking luggages handling fees. (Dear my readers, this scenario never happen in Kuching Airport check in counter and my pre booked luggages handling fees all under my name also recommended by the officer in-charge at Kuching). Why i am so sad? It is because the officer very rude to me and never listen to my explanation.... Airasia, please look into this probelm, if continuous happen to passenger, i m sure once there is new budget airlines get in Malaysia, Airasia will not be a 1st choice anymore. Or, we better travel with traditional airlines, Malaysia Airlines.

Logan's fall term is up and Christian has missed his man like crazy.
Breathe Each Other In
All They Ever Needed, Book 3
About This Book
While the outside world might try to undermine them, Logan and Christian's relationship just grows stronger. In this, the final part of the All They Ever Needed trilogy, their lives take an unexpected turn.
Christian takes to heart everything he learns from Logan's father and as he and Logan go forward in their DD relationship, he finds that he is willing to not just take on the mantle of Head of House, but to embrace it. With Logan graduating from college, Christian takes the next logical step and asks his boyfriend to move in.
Even with the stress of student teaching and trying to figure out what to do after graduation, Logan leaps at the chance to live with the man he loves. As the pressure of graduation begins to get to him, the only thing to keep him grounded is the amazing man at his side.
Those closest to them make huge changes in their own lives and when an unexpected job offer lands in Logan's lap, the two have to make a life altering decision. No matter which way they go, they need to give something up. Play it safe and stay home or accept the job and move away from their families?

WOMEN retiring this year are nearly three times as likely as men to have only the state pension to live on, according to a report.
Some 20% of women, who often take career breaks or work part time to support families, said they have no other pension provision, compared with 7% of men, the research by insurer Prudential found.
The research, carried out among more than 1000 people intending to retire across Britain this year, also found that 18% will have an income below the "minimum income standard" as defined by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF).
Loading article content
The JRF estimates that a single pensioner needs an income of at least £8600 a year to reach a minimum socially acceptable standard of living; a retired couple needs an annual income of more than £12,500.
In Scotland, 9% of people retiring this year said they will be doing so without any private pension, which was the second lowest figure after the North West. In Wales this figure was 16%.
The state pension typically makes up 42% of a woman's expected retirement incomes compared with 28% for a man.
The findings follow shake-ups announced by the Government for the pensions industry in recent weeks.
Vince Smith-Hughes, a retirement income expert at Prudential, said these would give retirees choices, but added: "They don't alter the fact that many people are not saving enough for a comfortable retirement."
Minister for Pensions Steve Webb said women have been treated as "second class citizens" in retirement for too long. He said: "We are building a fairer retirement by automatically enrolling millions of workers and introducing a new flat-rate state pension."

laclacpig...Great!This dress is very comfortable and casual. I like wearing it.August 1, 2017
LinhThe quality is above my expectation!I bought the orange one and the material is very thick and warm. For ref i'm 5"4, 110lbs, and it's length is at my thigh, close to my knee. It's very soft when I tried it on. But it's a little bit loose for me on the waist. I think i would have it fixed a bit then it would be perfect. I bought it when it's on sale 30% discount so it's very good deal for the pretty dress that i got.April 7, 2017
EuniceSimple yet VersatileWhen I received this dress, it matched perfectly with the product image. The dress makes it easy to wear comfortably to different occasions from regular outings to casual parties. However, the material makes it only wearable around fall, winter, and occasionally cold weather.March 12, 2017
Hendvery nice peicequality and size were satisfying, I liked this dress very much, thanks!June 18, 2016
JENNIFERGreat Dress!This dress is so cute. It is good for cold and warm weather. It is exactly like the picture shown of the model in that dress.April 3, 2016
NataLieGood product!I've bought XL black variation (actually I have M) because of the length. And even XL is a little shorter than I would like :-) But I wear it with jeans or leggings and totally happy :-) Good quality!March 24, 2015
o-vanes...Good qualityThis dress is very warm and thick which is really good for fall. The only thing that bothered me was that the sleeves weren't very loose.January 17, 2015
uv3gotma1...Great Product!I purchased the black one and it looks great! It is something different from what I normally wear and I really like it. The product feels nice and it is decently thick - which is a good thing. This product also looks just like the one in the pictures that are provided. If you are looking for a nice, comfortable, and casual top then this is a great one to buy.November 28, 2014
SarahRomantic...1 of 1 people found this review helpfulPerfect fit.I bought green and the length isn't a problem for me. Throw on a pair of leggings and its perfect. It looks great and I like it oversized because it suits the fall season.November 5, 2014
seaweedcutei ordered M size in orange and it fits me well. Though it's shorter than i expected, i think the length is acceptable to be a dress (because I am short, 152 cm). The cutting is cute and the texture is comfortable. I think the colour is a bit like a pumpkin hahaOctober 10, 2014
angeliquesyndrom...2 of 2 people found this review helpfulIn love!The material is nice and sturdy. It will wash well. I got the green color way and I think the color is accurate to the photos.
I'm 5ft5in and 125 lbs, I ordered a Large and it fits very similar to the photo. Just a LITTLE bit shorter on me. I knew the slit would be high judging by the photos. I'll be wearing black leather jeggings with this.
Thank you!August 26, 2014
mikmiklove itThe material is of high quality and thw color looks exactly the same as in the photo. Will definitely recommendAugust 13, 2014

Jewish unity is possible - really! It begins with acting decently toward one another; it follows with tolerating others as they pursue lives of goodness; it culminates with many different Jews, but just one heart.
Wednesday, April 25, 2012
We Are One
Jews have never found it easy to accept each other. Whether Ashkenaz or Sephard, religious or secular, liberal or conservative, Jews of all stripes have had a difficult time tolerating those with whom they differ. Of course, this isn't unique to Jews. Human nature compels members of any group to focus on all the differences that exist between one another. Nevertheless, a Jew is a Jew - regardless of the additional descriptive words. Although it sounds oxymoronic, the Jewish people are not a monolithic group and yet we are one. Go figure.
Given all the denominations of Judaism, political ideologies and ways of life that have developed over the years, intra-Jewish divisiveness has become rather easy. It's common for some Jews to engage in hateful depictions of Jewish groups with which they disagree: Reform and Conservative Jews against Orthodox Jews, Orthodox Jews against those who are more theologically liberal, Jews from certain countries against those of others, and so on. Obviously, there are substantive disagreements among the Jewish population, but those arguments must be disciplined and not turn into personal attacks.
There is an even greater degree of difficulty to control intra-Jewish divisiveness in Israel, where the differences are more striking and the problem is exacerbated. As Israel enters its 64th year of modern existence, one might think that the current condition of the country is drastically different from the Holy Land of long ago. However, not much has changed. As Herman Wouk eloquently points out in This Is My God (first edition (1959), page 263):
"A wholly religious state in ancient Israel did not exist. There were religious kings and irreligious kings; generals hostile to the faithful and generals kind to them; a part of the populace that held to the Mosaic law and a part that did not. . . . Visitors to Israel who profess deep shock because they see people smoking on the Sabbath have not been reading their Bible or their Jewish history. Israel is the place where, as we believe, the light of the Lord will someday blaze forth to fill not only the little land but the whole earth. It does not offer itself, at least in Jewish thought, as the place where the event has already occurred."
But just as the religious must be understanding of their non-observant brothers and sisters, the secular must also recognize that if not for our religious roots, there would be no Israel (or Jewish people, for that matter). Whether in Israel or the Diaspora, living among fellow Jews with whom we disagree may be among the most difficult tasks in life. Perhaps it will help to know that all of those seemingly irreconcilable differences are there for a reason.
Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch provides an important explanation of the verse "And God saw all that He had made, and behold it was very good" (Genesis 1:31). Even parts of existence that appear to be bad are only viewed as such in isolation. In the grand scheme of things, not only are those parts good - they can even be very good. If we could only appreciate God's mastery of events, we would agree. This same principle can be applied to the Jewish people. Despite the fact that we may view certain Jews as either beneficial or detrimental to our people as a whole, they each play an important role in the total context of our existence.
As the adage goes, "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts." If we divide ourselves into different pieces, we aren't all that great. After all, every individual Jew - as well as every Jewish group - has strengths and weaknesses. However, when we put all the different pieces together, the result is quite impressive. There is an extraordinary synergy among the Jewish people, if we could just look beyond the separate fragments. In Judaism, oneness is a common theme: one God, one Land, one Torah, one People. Although there are legitimate disagreements over how we understand God, govern the Land, interpret the Torah, and view ourselves as a People, in the end, we are one.

When I rebuilt my BP clone head I ordered China bearings (not the spindle bearings). The bearings were fine, the problem was the ''grease'' they used in them. I have no idea what that stuff is, but it was like tar. My shop can get pretty cold in the winter and though I warm the machine up at low speed before putting it to work, the bearing ''grease'' was still like tar. I didn't know this of course because I ordered sealed bearings. Within a couple of years I was noticing that the drive system was getting noisy again. I didn't worry about it too much because I was getting ready to convert to direct drive. So on teardown for that project I found that the lower pulley bearing had spun in the housing due to the thick ''grease''. This necessitated building a new housing and replacing the bearings with known good ones from my local bearing vendor. Those have the proper grease in them, the grease is blue and about the consistency of Vaseline. In the end, the total cost of the bearings from my local bearing house was not that different from the cheap ones.
Having said that, I'm going to guess that Hardinge probably sells a bit higher quality bearing than the ones I ordered from the low cost vendor....... Maybe

People often assume that once they have a crown placed on a tooth, it will last the rest of their lives. Although dental crowns may last for a very long time, it is not correct to say that they will last forever.
This is one of the most difficult questions asked of a dentist because, in essence, no one can be sure. However, there are a few resources available that can give us an idea of how long your dental crowns may last.
One resource is insurance companies. Even though the dental insurance company should not dictate the type of treatment that should be done, they give some insight into the matter. Insurance companies will pay for a new crown on the same tooth after five years. So, in essence, they believe that dental crowns will last at least five years. Another resource available is the dental literature. The dental research has some extreme variability in this area. It provides information that ranges from a 20% failure rate in 3 years all the way to a 3% failure rate in 23 years. So, which is correct? The answer actually has to be looked at on a case-by-case basis. To do this, we need to look at why dental crowns have to be replaced.
There are many reasons why dental crowns need to be redone. Fracture is one example. The fracture incidence of dental crowns can be related to either the type of restoration (gold, metal ceramic, all-ceramic) or where the tooth restoration is placed in the mouth (anterior vs. posterior). Another risk factor is if a person has a grinding habit at night. A crown will have a higher risk of fracture in a mouth that applies more forces to the teeth by grinding than in one that does not have any incidence of grinding.
Decay can be another reason why dental crowns need to be replaced. Just because a tooth receives a crown does not mean it is less prone to decay. In fact, because it has more areas that may trap plaque, it needs to be cleaned as well, if not more meticulously, during home care.
Esthetics can be another reason why dental crowns are replaced. Esthetics is one of the main reasons people choose to have a new crown made in the anterior part of the mouth. This occurs because as we get older, our teeth will change color and progressively get darker while the tooth with the crown will stay the same color as the day it was placed. A discrepancy between the color of the teeth will become more evident over time. In addition to color, esthetic changes in the position of the gum tissue over time can also affect the look of the crown.
Which one of these areas may be a factor in a patient's mouth is uncertain. An idea can be obtained by evaluating the reason a crown was needed in the first place (such as a fractured tooth, decay, etc.). In conclusion, it is unclear how long dental crowns will last. Their life span may be anywhere from a few years all the way to 20 years and beyond. A lot of it will depend on the need for the crown in the first place and how well the mouth is taken care of after the crown is placed.
By Greggory Kinzer, DDS, MSD
Cosmetic dentistry, these days, sometimes combines science with fine art. This requires a craftsman's skill to make sure the tooth restoration is as attractive as it is durable. After all, your smile is too valuable to be spoiled by unnatural-looking dental veneers.
The goal of a cosmetic dentist should be to provide you with an attractive, natural-appearing smile. You have a wide array of choices, and a good cosmetic dentistry professional should be happy to review the possibilities with you. For example, porcelain onlays and inlays can return structural integrity to a broken tooth, while leaving it looking as good as (or possibly better than) the original.
This is especially apparent if you now have metal fillings or a gold tooth. Metal and gold, after all, are not normal components of teeth. There's a huge difference between gold or metal combination fillings and porcelain dental crowns that reflect the translucence of natural teeth. Plus, porcelain restorations are now as strong, or stronger, than your own teeth. Ask your cosmetic dentist to take before-and-after photos so you can see the difference for yourself.
Admittedly, these more natural-appearing restorations are also a little more expensive. And many dental insurance plans may not cover all of the cost for cosmetic dental work. But in terms of your appearance (and the self-confidence it boosts), there's no comparison.

Biodiversity and Geology
The location of the Isles of Scilly provides it with unique environmental conditions. Lying on the South Western tip of the British Isles and with warming from the Gulf Stream, the Islands are home to many species of flora and fauna, some of which are found nowhere else in the UK (for example, the Scilly shrew and the Scilly bee).
The AONB features a wide range of habitats, wildlife and landforms ranging from coastal grassland and heathland, cliff tops and faces, wetlands and dunes, woodlands and rocky shores.
The natural environment and the mosaic of habitats and landforms enrich the lives of the local community within the AONB and form the basis of the tourism industry.
The AONB Partnership is, through the AONB Management Plan, committed to conserving and enhancing the variety of wildlife and habitats within the archipelago.
Special Features of Scilly's Biodiversity and Geology:
- 26 Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs);
- European marine Special Area of Conservation (SAC) designated for features such as the Atlantic Grey Seal and Intertidal Sand Flats;
- Special Protection Area (SPA) designated for Storm Petrel and other coastal bird species;
- Internationally important Ramsar site designated for breeding populations of Lesser Black- Backed Gulls;
- Nationally uncommon and rare species occur within the AONB include Western Ramping-Fumitory and the Golden-hair lichen (UK Biodiversity Action Plan Species);
- Other important habitats include the rare and beautiful waved heath with heather and western gorse;
- Important species in the AONB include the Dwarf Pansy, Least Adder's Tongue Fern, the St Martin's ant, the Scilly Shrew and the Scilly Bee;

We did not find out about their deceit until 5 days after we got home and conveniently 4 days AFTER the opportunity to cancel our contract. As smooth as they are in the sales room they are just as good at playing dumb and trying to make it sound like we misunderstood. We have done our best to work with them to make this right but its been impossible. We refuse to pay another cent, we have filed our intentions to rescind the contract based on extreme misrepresentation of facts. One of the Sales guys even called our room one night to ask to borrow money!!
Our Apex International Marketing Scam team is....Lolita, Jewel Hana, EJ (Edgar Roberts II), Reggie and Bryant Pompey (Director of Marketing for AIM)
Our main objective now is to spare others from going through this experience. We would love to hear from other travellers who may have experienced the same thing at this resort. We have found a couple already!!
I wouldn't discourage you from staying at this resort....just STAY FAR AWAY FROM THE SALES ROOM!!
Don't hesitate to contact me for complete details of our experience.

Jessica Simpson Is Pregnant! Confirms Rumors with Photo
There's something about the holidays that makes Jessica Simpson want to tell people that she has a baby inside of her — the singer-actress-headline fixture is celebrating Christmas Day by confirming the rumors that she is indeed pregnant with her second child with fiancé Eric Johnson.
It was Halloween of 2011 when Simpson proclaimed herself an expectant mother for the first time, using some visual wordplay to announce the news. Now, just seven months after the birth of daughter Maxwell, Simpson has taken to Twitter with another image declaring the expansion of her family.
Pictured is Maxwell, adorned in Christmas garb, and labeled "Big Sis" in a sandwritten holiday card:
Simpson attached the picture to a message of holiday cheer, wishing readers, "Merry Christmas from my family to yours!"
Congratulations to the family on this most festive of updates. And keep a look out for news on Easter, the Fourth of July, and Arbor Day for news of further Simpson children!

Hailing from Sweden, Marcus Schossow has been an unavoidable name in the dance music big leagues since his early releases across major labels, including Size Records, Spinnin' Records, Axtone and Big Beat (Atlantic Records), gaining support from some of the world's top record spinners including Steve Angello & Axwell. The insanely talented producer joins forces with one of the most exciting prospects emerging from the scene; twenty-six-year-old Belarusian, Arston, to create 'The Universe.' Hailed as one of the freshest faces on the scene, Arston is already standing tall alongside his titanic peers, after only cutting his teeth with his debut set at Global Gathering last year. Previewing 'The Universe' as an exclusive during his rousing guest mix for Steve Angello's Radio 1 residency show back in March, Schossow catapulted Arston onto the superstar radars of those who matter. Reaching almost two million strong through this platform alone and solely previewing brand new material, Schossow's evolved take on what was originally Arston's 'Avesta', is a monster anthem of uplifting proportions. Marking their inaugural release on Revealed Recordings, 'The Universe' has gained momentum in presenting this exciting merger of two contemporary, heavyweight producers. Gaining support from the likes of Arty, Alesso, Hardwell, Nicky Romero, and Dyro, 'The Universe' confirms its status as a monstrously uplifting summer anthem, sure to infiltrate a plethora of main-stage sets across the approaching festival season.

Cardinals recall Blazek, option Martinez to minors
ST. LOUIS (AP) The St. Louis Cardinals promoted a fresh arm from the minors for the second straight day, recalling rookie right-hander Michael Blazek from Triple-A Memphis and demoting rookie right-hander Carlos Martinez.
The 24-year-old Blazek has appeared in 10 games with St. Louis with an 8.31 ERA in 8 2/3 innings before Wednesday night's game against the Reds. He's 1-2 with a 2.77 ERA and two saves in 19 games at Memphis.
The 21-year-old Martinez is one of the franchise's top pitching prospects and earned his first career victory Monday, working two innings of relief.
The Cardinals sent rookie Tyler Lyons to Memphis on Tuesday, a day after the lefty started against Cincinnati, and promoted right-handed reliever Fernando Salas.

In his Twitter account, Omar Abdullah said, "In reality this is 1st Panchayat election after 33 years. 2000 was only on papers. More than 1/2 of seats remained empty."
The first phase of polling for the multi-phased Jammu and Kashmir Panchayat elections began on Wednesday, Apr 13 with queues seen outside several polling booths.
While all separatist leaders have maintained the discreet silence over these polls, hardline senior separatist leader Syed Ali Geelani has called for a boycott of the polls.
Citing the tense situation at the valley, police officials beefed up security all around the state, as sources on Apr 12 informed, "All necessary arrangements have been made to ensure free and fair 16-phase Panchayat elections, as the first phase begins with polling in eight blocks tomorrow."

Alum 2014: Thomas Foster
"I'm a shy person who isn't the most social. I've always kept things bottled up because I was afraid of being discouraged or put down by my voice. I'm not the most talkative person, but GIA made me feel so accepted and I still didn't speak a lot. The atmosphere made me comfortable and for the first time in my life I decided to share my poetry with everyone. I'll never forget when I read my poem in front of all 130 people and everyone stood up clapping. It was one of the most life changing moments of my life. Today I still don't talk a lot, but thanks to GIA I feel comfortable about my thoughts, ideas, and writing, and that has given me the much needed confidence I have needed to keep changing as a person. GIA is such a great experience and I hope all of the future students who attend have a life changing experience like I did."

IN the department of chemical engineering, University of Engineering and Technology, Peshawar, students have made a parabolic solar cooker.
The cooker concentrates sun rays and can heat up anything up to 170 degrees C while water boils at 100 degrees C and we cook our daily food at 100 degrees C.
We can cook all kinds of food using this cooker. It only needs a dish antenna and aluminium foil to cover its upper surface. This will only cost about Rs3,000 but it will set us free from cutting, chopping and burning wood. It is also environmental-friendly.
They have also made efficient biogas units and solar geysers. All these things are simple but profitable.
Students spend time and money to develop inventions by giving presentations to convince their supervisor that it is vital for the development of society.
Once they get grades, they put these away in a dark corner of the department (as we have in our department). There it corrodes and turns to scrap.
If we eventually have to make scrape, why take up the futile exercise? The goal of this work should not be only grade and passing examinations. We need to benefit from such inventions in our daily life.
Coordination should exist between universities and the common people. The university administration should organise events with the help of students to exhibit these simple techniques to the common people.

7 Songs That Changed My Life – Day 2: An Impossible Task
Day #2
My parents were involved in local theatre productions when I was growing up, and there was often a musical being played and sung to either in the car or in the house – most notably 'Man of La Mancha,' 'My Fair Lady,' 'Camelot,' and those first two Anthony Newley gems. And then there came 'Jesus Christ Superstar' rolling down the hill in a VW bus, weed smoke billowing from its windows like puffy angels with LOVE patches on the thighs of their frayed bell-bottomed jeans. This was not your parents' musical (or perhaps it was, if your parents had a hippie streak in them).
One thing my dad liked to do (and really excelled at) was explain plots of musicals to you as you listened to them. One day, he and I had a long out-of-town drive together and we listened to this for probably the hundredth time with him offering insights into the plot and characters, and making little performances of his own, when – during one of Ian Gillan's (as Jesus) wailing, emotional outbursts – he said, and I quote, "This guy playing Jesus has more control of his voice than anyone I've heard. Certainly more than any of those rock stars you listen to." Oh, Dad.
But I chose this song in particular not only because the musical performance is so rockin' and funky (it is…follow that bass and the often Robert Quine-like guitar!), or because of the way Yvonne Elliman comes slinking in and gets all sexy-tangled with Ian Gillan (she does). I chose it because the second part of this song ('Strange Thing Mystifying') opened my eyes to the beauty of lyrical phrasing and how not only can words have two meanings but the second meaning doesn't even need to be logical to be evocative.
It happens when Murray Head as Judas sings, "It seems to me a strange thing / mystifying / that a man like you…"
Obviously, what he's saying is "This is a strange thing to me. A mystifying thing," but to my young ears his delivery sounded like he was implying that "There is a strange thing mystifying…a strange thing coming from or fading into the mist." Of course that makes no sense, but the visions it created in my head were fantastic, and even now I have to stop myself to get the proper context. I don't know or care if it was intentional or not…it just did it for me.
Ever since, I get giddy when I hear a lyric phrased in an odd manner that inspires illogical but beautiful thoughts or imagery.

Pink Floyd themed cruise to the Bahamas
NEW YORK - Cruises are known for big band music, lounge singers and discos.
But how about a Pink Floyd-themed cruise?
Called the "Great Gig in the Sea," the charter cruise on a Carnival ship will sail to the Bahamas, May 1-4, from Miami. Cabins start at $379 a person based on double occupancy.
The trip will feature the music of the tribute act "Think Floyd USA: The American Pink Floyd Show," which covers the band's hits from albums like "Dark Side of the Moon," "Wish You Were Here," and of course, "The Wall."
Tickets and details at http://www.greatgiginthesea.com.
Fall fun in Valley Forge, Pa.
VALLEY FORGE, Pa. - Valley Forge was a tough place for George Washington's troops to spend the winter of 1777.
But as a tourism destination this fall, the region sounds like a lot of fun.
You can pick pumpkins or wander through the corn maze at Freddy Hill Farms and Family Fun Center in Lansdale on weekends in October. If you prefer shopping to agritourism, check out the King of Prussia Mall or Philadelphia Premium Outlets in nearby Limerick.
Fans of the old "Three Stooges" show will want to check out The Stoogeum, a museum in Gwynedd Valley dedicated to the slapstick trio. It's open by appointment only; details at http://www.stoogeum.com/id7.html.
Finally, if you want to find out what it was like to be a soldier at Valley Forge, without the snow, Valley Forge National Historical Park has programs for kids the first Saturdays of October and November where they can receive enlistment papers, be issued dummy muskets and learn how to march.
For details on visiting the area and information on how to earn a free $35 gas card for your trip, go to http://www.valleyforge.org.
New guide to San Antonio, Austin and Texas Hill Country
NEW YORK - A new guidebook from Fodor's is out for a region of Texas that offers everything from the Alamo to theme parks to wineries.
Fodor's first edition of the guide to "San Antonio, Austin & the Hill Country" ($16.95) can help you plan a trip that includes outdoor adventure, family fun, history and culture.
The region is home to SeaWorld San Antonio, Six Flags Fiesta Texas, and Schlitterbahn in New Braunsfels, which consistently wins high ratings as one of the best waterparks in the country.
Art-lovers will want to visit the Blanton Museum of Art and the Elisabet Ney Museum in Austin, as well as the McNay Art Museum, Umlauf Sculpture Garden and San Antonio Museum of Art, all in San Antonio.
Fodor's Hill Country driving tour includes stops at Bandera, the "Cowboy Capital of the World"; the Y.O. Ranch in Kerrville and other sites associated with the president.
A section on wineries in the Hill Country recommends visiting in the fall to catch festivals like the Fredericksburg Food & Wine Fest and the Gruene Music & Wine Fest.
Exhibit on native dress to open at New York's Museum of the American Indian
NEW YORK - An exhibit of 55 dresses from tribes in the Plains, Plateau and Great Basins regions opens Sept. 26 at the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian.
The show is called "Identity by Design: Tradition, Change and Celebration in Native Women's Dresses."
Dress designs include full skirts to allow for horseback riding, an outfit to mark a girl's passage to womanhood, dresses worn for ceremonial dances, and styles developed to identify membership in tribes or societies for women gifted in beadwork or other arts.
The dresses, most of them dating to the 19th century, include elaborately beaded yokes, fringed sleeves and hems, bright colors and geometric designs. They reflect European influences and trade with whites in the incorporation of items like wool and glass beads, along with traditional decorative elements like elk teeth and porcupine quills.
The museum, at One Bowling Green in Lower Manhattan, offers free admission.
New book in 'Immersion Travel' for adventurers and dreamers
NEW YORK - Do you dream about chucking the daily routine to become a park ranger, or getting a job on a cruise ship? Maybe you're more the volunteer type, or you'd like to learn about falconry or try a silent meditation retreat.
A new book called "Immersion Travel USA: The Best and Most Meaningful Volunteering, Living, and Learning Excursions" offers a thoughtful guide to a variety of travel experiences that involve more than a weeklong road trip or a few days in a hotel.
The book, by Sheryl Kayne (Countryman Press, $19.95), tells readers how to get involved instead of just visiting the places they are interested in. Chapters are devoted to volunteering, learning, and working, in addition to a section on caring, which describes opportunities for animal-lovers and activists, and playing, which lists ways to enjoy sports and the arts.
The book also includes inspirational first-person narratives, like the story of a woman in her 40s who lost her executive job and decided to move to Alaska, where she got a job as a waitress in Denali National Park to pay her bills. An older couple describes how they sold their house, bought a motor home and went to work for the National Park Service in the Everglades in the winter and Yellowstone in the summer.
Andy Warhol exhibit in New Hampshire mixes pop art and politics
MANCHESTER, N.H. - An exhibit of Andy Warhol works mixing pop art and politics opens Sept. 27 at the Currier Museum of Art in Manchester, N.H.
"Andy Warhol: Pop Politics," will display the artist's paintings, prints, drawings and photographs of political figures.
Famous faces in the show include John F. Kennedy, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, Queen Elizabeth II, and Mao Zedong, among others.
The show closes Jan. 4.
South Dakota gets ready for Pheasantennial
PIERRE, S.D. - South Dakota is getting ready for a "Pheasantennial," celebrating 100 years since the Chinese ring-necked pheasant was introduced to the state.
Six birds were introduced originally, but there are now millions of them around the state, and pheasant-hunting is a $219 million industry, according to Buddy Seiner, spokesman for the South Dakota Office of Tourism.
The official start to hunting season is Oct. 18, ending Jan. 4. Before open season begins, the first weekend in October is reserved for youth hunters and the second weekend for residents only.
Out-of-staters must purchase a nonresident small game license for $110. It's good for two five-day periods. In addition to pheasants, a small game license allows you to hunt grouse, quail, cottontails, partridges, doves, squirrels, and other small creatures. Hunting licenses may be purchased online at http://www.sdgfp.info/licenses.htm. Small game licenses are also sold over the counter in South Dakota, and may be purchased at most gas stations, bait shops and outfitters.
