Sky TV channels in Spain
Sky UK, formerly known as British Sky Broadcasting or BSkyB, is the UK's largest pay-TV broadcaster. In 2015 Sky had 11 million pay TV customers.
BSkyB was created in November 1990 by the equal merger of the two main UK Satellite TV operators at the time, Sky Television and British Satellite Broadcasting. It was an anlogue TV service, and transmitted from the Astra 1 group of satellites located at 19.2 east.
Sky Digital, BSkyB's digital satellite service was launched on 1 October 1998. In October 2001, BSkyB closed its analogue service. Sky Digital offered a number of improvements over its analogue service, from improvement in picture and sound quality, an increase in the number of channels on offer and an interactive services. The increased number of channels required more satellite capacity, so the Astra 2 group of satellites located at 28.2 to 28.5 east were allocated for UK satellite TV.
The Sky TV pay channels are currently transmitted from three UK TV satellites : Astra 2E, Astra 2F and Astra 2G.
Previous satellites used for Sky TV were Astra 2A, Astra 2B, Astra 2C, Astra 2D and Eurobird 28.
Equipment required for Sky TV
To watch Sky TV pay channels, users required a Sky digibox, a Sky viewing card and a satellite dish with Low Noise Block LNB. The satellite dish collects the signals and reflects them to the LNB which collects the signals and sends then down the cable to the Sky digibox which then turns those signals into pictures and sounds.
Over the years Sky have produced a number of digiboxes, from the basic standard definition digibox, to the recording Sky+ digibox, and then onto the Sky+HD digiboxes in use today. The latest, SkyQ, is expected to be available in 2016.
Sky TV channels in Spain
Sky TV pay channels are broadcast with encryption, and can only be viewed by the use of a Sky subscription card. The amount of Sky TV pay channels that are "unblocked" will depend on the subscription charge you pay. As far as I know, it is NOT illegal to use a Sky viewing cards or watch Sky TV channels in Spain. However, you are breaking the terms and conditions of your Sky contract. The Sky contract states that the Sky viewing card is only for use within the UK only. This is due to how the broadcaster rights for the programmes on the channel that are on Sky TV are sold around Europe.
The Sky contact also states that the Sky card and Sky digibox must be connected to a UK telephone line or internet service. However, this is only true if you have had your Sky viewing card and Sky digibox supplied by Sky as part of a Sky installation. In the UK Sky heavily discount the installation cost. All equipment is their property for 12 months, and to ensure that it stays where is should they require the decoder to call back to the Sky computers every so often. After 12 months the equipment, the satellite dish and Sky digibox is yours and you can disconnect them from the telephone system. With installations in Spain, you are personally buying the decoders and dish so the equipment is yours from the start and although, as you did not get the equipment direct from a Sky you do not need to connect to the telephone or internet system.
Sky TV Reception In Spain
Sky TV in Spain is, contrary to what some people believe, still available.
The Sky TV pay channels are currently transmitted from three UK TV satellites : Astra 2E, Astra 2F and Astra 2G.
The majority of the Sky TV pay channels are on the European beam of the Astra 2E, Astra 2F and Astra 2G satellites. The European beam give very good reception across the majority of mainland Spain. This means that the Sky TV pay channels can be received in Spain on a satellite dish measuring a minimum of 80x85cm.
Some Sky TV pay channels are on the "UK beam" or "UK Spot beam" of the Astra 2E, Astra 2F and Astra 2G satellites. This UK beam signal footprint is different to the previous UK TV satellites UK beam. This has meant that reception of channels on the new Astra 2 satellites will be different to previous reception. In the areas between Valencia and Alicante, our service area, the Sky channels on the new Astra 2 satellites UK beam can still be received on a small satellite dish – as small as a 110x120cm satellite dish, with a 125x135cm satellite dish being the recommended size satellite dish.
However, in other areas of Spain, reception of these Sky TV pay channels on the new Astra 2 satellites UK beam has become harder. For example, in areas such as Barcelona, Catalonia and Zaragoza, you need at least a 1.8m satellite dish to receive these channels on the Astra 2F UK beam, whereas previously you only needed a smaller 80cm satellite dish. It is a similar story in the south of Spain, in areas like the Costa del Sol, Malaga, Almeria, Seville, Gibraltar and even Portugal, where even the larger 2.4m satellite dishes are struggling to receive these channels on the Astra 2 satellites UK beam.
The expected mission lifespan of the current UK TV satellites, Astra 2E, Astra 2F and Astra 2Gis approximately 12 to 15 years. So we can expect no further changes to reception of Channel Four TV channels via satellite until around 2025.
Sky+ / Sky Plus Digiboxes
Sky+ digiboxes are Personal Video Recorders (PVR) which uses an internal Hard Disk Drive. This allows you to record and pause (sometimes known as Timeshift) TV channels. They also allow you to watch one TV channel whilst recording the other by the use of its twin tuners, which does require two cable connection from the satellite dish to the Sky Plus digibox. The Sky Plus recording functions are available free with any Sky TV subscription. If you do not have a Sky TV subscription you can pay 10 per month for a subscription to activate these functions. Sky+ digiboxes do function in Spain.
Sky High Definition /Sky HD
Sky HD allows you to receive and watch Sky HD channels on a HD TV. There are a number of subscription free HD channels available, such as BBC One HD and Channel 4HD, and an increasing number of subscription HD channels. HD provides more lines of data of the image, meaning that HD transmissions offer much higher quality of image than Standard Definition (SD) channels. Sky HD requires a Sky HD or Sky+HD digibox.

|Chocolate Mint -
Appropriately Contained!
You might be surprised to learn that Ox-Eye Daisy and Grapevines are both considered invasives here in Ohio. When an old homestead is abandoned, Grapevines will simply revert to their uncivilized ways and take over. Ox-Eye Daisy is aggressive and can quickly cover an entire field, which can be especially problematic for farmers.
Here in my garden, I have problems with neither. However, I have had the great misfortune of stumbling upon another little plant that – although not qualified as such – has become completely invasive to my yard. I first planted Houttuynia "Chameleon" (Korean Houttuynia) in a small bed in 2005.
|Houttuynia Chameleon -
Do NOT Be Fooled
By Its Pretty Face!
The next spring, it seemed to slowly revive itself. It was late to come up, and so I had no inkling of the havoc it would soon play. As the summer progressed, so too, did the ravenous Chameleon, gobbling up my yard at an astonishing rate. The Coral Bells were the first to succumb. They dropped down beneath the ever encompassing Chameleon and were never heard from again. The Bee Balm put up a much greater fight. (Two stalks even survived to bloom this year!)
By the summer of 2008, it was all-out war. I had to dig out the entire bed, down at last 20 inches. I tilled, I sifted, and all to no avail! As a last and final resort, I had to tarp the entire bed, and cover it with a layer of mulch. And you know what? Last year, the Chameleon actually began to poke its head out from under its cover. This year, a tiny patch has established itself in an unprotected corner of the old bed!

small business insurance quotes
According to a report in the Springfield News-Leader, a second company in the Missouri town has been sued for alleged discrimination in as many days.
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission recently filed a suit against Prime Trucking, claiming the company violated federal law when it discriminated against female applicants. In the lawsuit, the plaintiffs claim female applicants had to be trained by female drivers.
"This policy resulted in qualified female applicants being placed on a waiting list due to a lack of female trainers, thus delaying or denying them employment, while New Prime provided training for male applicants without similar delay," the case's news release said.
The trucking company has yet to comment on the lawsuit, but one official expressed that the company takes pride in its safe and comfortable work environment.
Bass Pro Shops received a similar lawsuit recently, as the EEOC claims it discriminated against African American and Hispanic applicants.
The cases highlight the importance of companies avoiding discriminatory actions and adhering to federal and state laws. Failure to follow these guidelines may result in similar professional liability lawsuits.

Man faces murder charge for throwing baby out window as mum catches him abusing her
A MUSIC teacher was last night facing a murder charge after a baby girl he allegedly threw out of a first-floor window when her mum caught him sexually abusing her, died in hospital.
Daniel Montano, 30, was due to appear in court today over the shocking crime.
The 17-month-old child died in hospital late yesterday from the injuries she suffered nearly 48 hours earlier.
Montano, who teaches saxophone at two schools in the northern Spanish city of Vitoria, is alleged to have thrown her onto the street during a violent row with the child's 18-year-old mum who has been named only as Gabriela.
It was initially reported the teenager, who was born in Brazil but had lived in Spain since she was a child, had agreed to spend the night at the alleged killer's flat after meeting him a few hours earlier.
But her stepdad Pedro Luis Penaranda confirmed today they knew each other and revealed he was due to drive her back to her mum's house with Alicia after a weekend visit before she changed her mind and said a friend thought to be
Montano was picking her up instead.
Gabriela is said to have woke to find him gone from their bed and discovered him abusing her daughter in another room when she went to look for him, local papers reported.
Montano is said to have thrown her daughter out of the window during a frenzied struggle in which she assaulted him and he attacked her with broken shards of glass.
"We feel repulsion over the alleged sexual abuse of a minor and her attempted homicide which are the subject of a secrecy order"Vitoria town hall statement
Alicia suffered severe head injuries after falling 12ft onto the pavement, hitting the bonnet and a wing mirror of Montano's car which was parked below the flat as she fell.
She was rushed to hospital in a critical condition after the horror incident around 3.30am on Monday morning.
Sources at Cruces University Hospital in nearby Baracaldo confirmed this morning she had lost her fight for life.
It is not known if her mum, transferred to the hospital yesterday for humanitarian reasons from another medical centre, has been informed of her death.
The alleged killer, who reportedly confessed to sexually assaulting the child before refusing to make an official statement to detectives, is being held under police guard in the psychiatric unit of another hospital.
He was due to go before a judge in a private hearing later today.
Montano was named as it emerged he had moved to Vitoria from his native Seville in southern Spain two years ago to work as a teacher at a municipal music school.
The university graduate was described by neighbours as an unsociable person "who never greeted anyone or looked you in the eye".
One colleague said he was often seen in the company of young south American girls.
The investigating judge in charge of the probe into the crime has placed a secrecy order on the case, preventing police and other civil servants from making any official comment.
The move is customary in Spain in the early phase of a judicial investigation.
Vitoria mayor Gorka Urtaran, speaking before Alicia died in hospital, said: "We want to demonstrate our support and offer protection to the victims and the family of the victims."
The town hall said in a statement before it emerged she had lost her fight for life: "We would like to manifest our total consternation and maximum condemnation at the serious incident that took place on Monday.
"We feel repulsion over the alleged sexual abuse of a minor and her attempted homicide which are the subject of a secrecy order.
"We trust this judicial secrecy order can be lifted as soon as possible and the circumstances that surround this incident can be clarified.
Experts are already predicting a jail sentence of up to 35 years for Montano if he is found guilty of murder and sexual abuse.
He is also being seen as a candidate for the new "revisable" life sentences introduced recently in Spain for terrorism and child murder.
Gabriela's stepdad told local press: "it appears she knew the man who has been arrested but I don't know anymore.
"She is in hospital in Bilbao and is feeling better but she's in intensive care and neither us or the police have been able to speak to her yet. She's under sedation."
He added: "They told us at the hospital on Monday afternoon that Alicia was unlikely to pull through.
"We've just got to wait till her mum gets better and tells us what happened."
Well-wishers held a protest gathering in a city centre square in Vitoria yesterday/on Tuesday to demonstrate their repulsion at the crime.
One left teddy bears and candles overnight at the spot where Alicia fell, writing a poignant message on one of the cuddly toys which said: "Your sacrifice will not be in vain."

Talk:Alexander von Middendorff
|This article is of interest to the following WikiProjects:
Why is the title of this article "Aleksandr Fyodorovich Middendorf" This man was german grown up in Estonia. No reason to make him russian. His correct name is Alexander Theodor Middendorf. Siim 21:48, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- The title is indeed bad, but for different reasons: it's a transliteration from Russian when there is a perfectly acceptable English name: Alexander Middendorf. As for his nationality, he was an ethnic German, who was born, worked, and died in the Russian Empire. That makes him a Russian scientist. If, as you propose, every scientist is listed by ethnical roots, then there would not be any American or Australian scientists at all. --Gene s 06:14, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Karl Ernst von Baer, Otto Kotzebue, Ferdinand Wrangel, Adam Johann von Krusenstern, Constantin Grewingk, Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen and many others were all germans from Estonia who worked for Russian Empire. How would you like to spell their names? Siim 17:32, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Bozeman Couple Weds on Leap Day

I had a couple of really great friends get married today. The are great and amazing individuals that make each other better. I am so happy to be a part of their day and celebrate with them...
The moment the bride walks down the aisle at her wedding, I quickly turn to the front of the room where her groom is waiting. There are times (not many) where the groom hasn't yet seen the woman he's about to marry. The look on his face gets me every time. Seeing the "first look" moment for so many grooms has me sitting here crying. This is so romantic!
It's engagement season and Pinterest is going nuts with all the brides filling up their dream boards with dresses, flowers, jewelry and plans for the perfect wedding day. One bride didn't have to worry about any of that because her fiance surprised her with their wedding!
We recently got word that actress Scarlett Johansson is the latest celeb to tie the knot in Montana…so cool!
According to Granite County court officials, Johansson and her now-husband Romain Dauriac got married on Oct...
Wedding photos are usually a big snooze -- it's mostly just the photographer moving people around like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle to get the perfect shot. Not in this case, though.
While some women observed the centuries-old tradition of proposing to their men on Leap Day, an elderly couple used the occasion to tie the knot — and it seems to have landed them in the record books.
Actor Seth Rogen, 29, and his girlfriend of seven years, Lauren Miller, 30, finally made it official on Sunday when they swapped vows in California's wine country.
A female rabbi presided over the service, which was attended by celebrities like Adam Sandler, Paul Rudd, Jonah Hill, and director-producer Judd Apatow and his wife, actress Leslie Mann.
Wedding photography isn't always terribly original — flip through the albums of a dozen couples and you'll usually find many of the same shots and poses (hey, if it ain't broke).
French photographer Beatrice de Guigne has knowingly captured the essence of the modern wedding album in a shoot with everyone's favorite toyland couple, Barbie and Ken. Over three days, de Guigne snapped photos as the plasticine pair readied for the big event, swapped vows, and celebrated at a reception.
Newlyweds Brittany Lurch and Arthur Phillips wanted a nice spread for their wedding reception last Friday. So the pair, who had actually been married a few days earlier, went to their local Wegmans supermarket, filled their shopping carts up with over $1,000 of "stuff that someone might need for a wedding reception," and then decided they were going to turn the groceries into a wedding gift by walking out without paying.
Asking the woman he loves to marry him may be one of the scariest things a man will do in his lifetime. Not only is there a lot of pressure on a guy to make that magic moment a memorable one but the fear of rejection must be nerve-racking.
Creativity is key in securing a 'yes' from that special someone.
Sorry, ladies. Looks like the latest James Bond is off the market.
In a small, paparazzi-free ceremony last Wednesday, Daniel Craig and actress Rachel Weisz tied the knot. The low-key nuptials in New York State had just four people in attendance: Craig's daughter, Ella, 18, Weisz's son, Henry, 4, and two friends who acted as witnesses.
So you want to try your luck with the ladies, guys? Or you want to mingle with the boys, girls? To start off right be sure you pick the right place, because we all know it's about being in the right place at the right time. Right?

It wasn't even close, of course. Mickelson packed the room with more than 200 reporters. The rest of the list maybe drew a quarter of that.
With Tiger Woods absent from America's national championship for the first time since 1994, Mickelson is easily the star attraction. Just ask the President. Barack Obama will host Phil and Amy Mickelson at the White House on Wednesday.
Oosthuizen's invite must have gotten lost in the mail.
Mickelson has dropped to fifth in the world rankings and his game hasn't been consistently sharp for many months. But he remains the Open's most compelling figure. He is a man with desires he cannot hide.
Five times – more than any other player in history – Mickelson has tied for or finished solo second in the U.S. Open. He has been in the top five seven times in 20 starts. After securing three Masters titles and one PGA Championship, Mickelson is left wanting only one trophy he does not have, and it's not the British Open's Claret Jug.
Of course, that also leaves Mickelson vulnerable to the same type of questions that he fielded when he was 0-for-46 in majors before he won his first Masters green jacket in 2004.
Hasn't his career been too good not to win his nation's championship?
"I might look at it the same way in that I was 0-for-40 something winning a major and I really wanted to win, and I'm 0 for 20 something in U.S. Opens," Mickelson said. "The way I see it is when I finally did break through and won my first major my thought process was not to worry about winning, not to worry about the result, but to enjoy the entire tournament, enjoy the process, enjoy the challenge of trying to win."
"Joy" and Mickelson have not usually bonded in the U.S. Open. There is Payne Stewart's final-putt victory at Pinehurst in '99 and Mickelson's three-putt on the 17th hole at Shinnecock in '04 to lose to Retief Goosen. None of it compared to the final-hole collapse at Winged Foot in '06 that handed the title to Geoff Ogilvy.
The advancing years and major championships in his pocket have provided Mickelson with perspective. He turns 41 on Thursday and shows zero signs of desperation.
"I don't want to put any pressure on my ability or belief in my ability to win," he said.
Mickelson said he feels "terrific" after psoriatic arthritis made it challenging at times for him to get out of bed last summer. He said his swing is more "flowing" now and less "violent." He talks about being thankful for his health.
His gratitude is both poignant and pointed considering the state Woods finds himself in right now. The former No. 1 had to withdraw from this week's major because of knee and Achilles injuries he suffered at the Masters.
"I've always felt as though Tiger helped bring out … some of my best golf over the years. And even though my record against him may not be the best, it's helped me achieve a higher level that I may not have ever achieved had he not been pushing me," Mickelson said.
"So the challenge now is without him playing his best or even competing like he's not this week, is pushing myself to achieve a level of play that is in there without him forcing me to do so. So in that sense it might be a little bit more difficult."
Mickelson has certainly not taken advantage of Woods' struggles or his absence. In the 25 starts since his 2010 Masters win the left-hander has only one victory (this year in Houston) and four other top-5 finishes.
Congressional is not a layout on which Mickelson could be expected to break out of a funk. In three combined starts here – the '97 U.S. Open and two PGA Tour events – he has shot in the 60s only three times in 10 rounds. In '97, he scored 75-68-73-74 and tied for 43rd.
Mickelson believes he has a better feel for the course now. He said in practice rounds last week he hit several shots off every tee to get a sense for the best approaches. He came to Congressional thinking he should use a 2-iron off many of the tees, but sounds as if he has changed his mind and will wield the driver liberally on the second-longest course (behind Torrey Pines) in Open history.
"I know what it takes to be in contention here," Mickelson said. "This course setup here …unlike past U.S. Opens, this one tests your entire game. This one tests your short game. This one tests your ability to hit recovery shots as well as your ability to get the ball and keep the ball in play."Copyright © 2017, The San Diego Union-Tribune

The idea that the uncouth people of the Middle Ages thought the Earth was flat is a myth that has been propagating since the nineteenth century, intended to give us a quite unfair view of this vibrant and exciting period.
The myth that Christians in the Middle Ages thought the world was flat was given a massive boost by Andrew Dickson White's book, 'The Warfare of Science with Theology' published in 1896. This book has become something of a running joke among historians of science and it is dutifully mentioned as a prime example of misinformation in the preface of most modern works on science and religion.
The flat Earth is discussed in chapter 2 and one can almost sense White's confusion that hardly any of the sources support his hypothesis that Christians widely believed in a flat earth. He finds himself grudgingly admitting that St Clement, Origen, St Ambrose, St Augustine, St Isodore, St Albertus Magnus and St Thomas Aquinas all accepted the Earth was a globe - in other words none of the great doctors of the church had considered the matter in doubt. Although an analysis of what White actually says suggests he was aware that the flat Earth was largely a myth, he certainly gives an impression of ignorant Christians suppressing rational knowledge of its real shape.

Your skin not only represents health but beauty as well. The purpose of this article is twofold: to help you learn about skin and the best ways to care for it. Proper skin care keeps you looking young and beautiful.
A lemon juice wash can be helpful if you have large pores and oily, acne-prone skin. Once or twice weekly, use the lemon juice to shrink enlarged pores and soak up excess oil.
In order to gain control of your skin and beautify it, try out alpha-hydroxy treatments. These acids are normally found in milk, fruit and wine. These types of acids will break down protein bonds which encourage dead skin to hang around. Dead skins cells wash away, once this bond is broken, to expose the healthy new skin below.
Honey is a great mask ingredient. Honey reduces redness of the skin and will help you look as if you are glowing. A honey mask used once a week will also help reduce acne.
For healthier skin, avoid alcoholic beverages. Although drinking in moderation is fine, understand that alcohol causes oily skin and can increase the size of your pores. Reducing alcohol consumption will help with your appearance and breakouts.
To protect your skin from the sun, try getting pomegranate pills at a health store. These pills will help your skin to cope with hot weather conditions. Such pills have natural origins and are not known to cause any harm. But they will make your skin look better and healthier.
If you are battling eczema, there are a few things you can do to lessen the symptoms. First, stay away from lotions and detergents with perfume in them. Second, wear clothes that are made of cotton. Polyester and other synthetics can irritate your skin. Third, use natural makeup that is free of dyes. All of these steps will help to prevent your skin from becoming irritated, which is what causes flare-ups.
You should consult a dermatologist if you have skin ailments that do not improve or you see a big difference in your skin. Many do not realize the gravity of skin diseases, and will do more damage than good by attempting to treat themselves without the help of a trained professional.
Vitamin B3 skin cream helps reduce red blotches and improves your skin's appearance. With Vitamin B3, the skin has heightened ability to capture moisture and avoid routine irritation. After using it regularly for a few weeks, you will notice a difference in your skin.
To prevent irritation to sensitive skin when cleaning, wash your face using warm water. Colder water closes the pores, and allows bacteria to be swept away. If you use hot water, you are asking for irritation. As long as you aim for middle temperatures, your skin will look great.
Be consistent in your application of your favorite skin care products. When used consistently, the results will be more noticeable. If you are forgetful when it comes to skin products, place them in plain sight, somewhere you won't forget about them. For example, work on establishing a nighttime routine by keeping those products by your bed.
As this article said, your skin represents your health and beauty. Using the tips in this article, you will be pleased with your results and with your skin.

Eleanor Bull (c. 1550 – 1596) was an English woman who is known for owning the establishment in which Christopher Marlowe, the Elizabethan playwright and poet, was killed in 1593.

2 Death of Marlowe

5 External links
She was born Eleanor (or Elinor) Whitney, daughter of James and Sybil (Parry) Whitney of Clifford. Although the main branch of the Whitney family had a castle at Whitney-on-Wye[1] in Herefordshire, Eleanor was from a related branch of that family who resided in nearby Clifford, Herefordshire. Eleanor was a great-niece to Blanche Parry, a companion of Queen Elizabeth I. Blanche gave Eleanor a legacy of £100 in her will in 1589.
She married Richard Bull October 14, 1571 at St Mary-le-Bow, London. He was probably the son of the master-shipwright of that name. He held the post of sub-bailiff at Sayes Court and worked for the Clerk of the Green Cloth. He died in 1590.[2] After her husband's death she stayed on at their house on Deptford Strand, Deptford, which was in Kent, but is now within London. The house became a form of hotel or "rooming house in which meals were served. Her normal clientele would have included supervisors or inspectors at the dockyards, exporters of quality goods and merchants involved in imports from Russia and the Baltic ports."[2]
She died in Deptford and was buried on March 19, 1596.
Death of Marlowe[edit]
Eleanor is known because it was at her house that Christopher Marlowe was killed during a quarrel with Ingram Frizer. Also present were Nicholas Skeres and Robert Poley. All had spent most of the day at Bull's house, apparently engaged in conversation, eating and drinking. At the inquest it was stated that the quarrel was over the bill (known as "the reckoning") for the day's events. Leslie Hotson, who first identified the documents relating to the inquest described Bull's house as a "tavern", leading to accounts of her as a kind of Mistress Quickly of Deptford "who is always ready to let a room for some disreputable purpose".[3] However, Charles Nicholl, who noted her genteel social connections, states that she was a "woman of substance, well-born and well-connected, not at all the shabby old ale-house keeper she is often portrayed as."[4]

Market Entry and Consumer Behavior: An Investigation of a Wal-Mart Supercenter
This paper provides an empirical study of entry by a Wal-Mart supercenter into a local market. Using a unique frequent-shopper database that records transactions for over 10,000 customers, we study the impact of Wal-Mart's entry on consumer purchase behavior. We develop a joint model of interpurchase time and basket size to study the impact of competitor entry on two key household decisions: store visits and in-store expenditures. The model also allows for consumer heterogeneity due to observed and unobserved factors. Results show that the incumbent supermarket lost 17% volume—amounting to a quarter million dollars in monthly revenue—following Wal-Mart's entry. Decomposing the lost sales into components attributed to store visits and in-store expenditures, we find that the majority of these losses were due to fewer store visits with a much smaller impact attributed to basket size. We also find that Wal-Mart lures some of the incumbent's best customers, and that retention of a small number of households can significantly reduce losses at the focal store. Finally, certain observed household characteristics such as distance to store, shopping behavior, and product purchase behavior are found to be useful in profiling the defectors to Wal-Mart. Implications and strategies for supermarket managers to compete with Wal-Mart are discussed.

HYMS Senior Lecturer in Biomedical Sciences Dr Francisco Rivero is co-author of a publication in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
PNAS is the official journal of the United States National Academy of Sciences and is an important scientific journal that printed its first issue in 1915.
Dr Rivero's article is entitled: "A Cdc42- and Rac-interactive binding (CRIB) domain mediates functions of coronin".
In the study the authors report about a new signalling mechanism that regulates myosin, a protein best known for its role in muscle contraction, but also a major player in cell migration.
The novel signalling mechanism involves coronin, an important protein of the actin cytoskeleton with roles in processes like cell motility, cell division and food uptake.
Using cells that produce mutated proteins the authors found out that coronin modulates the signalling cascade of a family of molecular switches that in the end regulate the activation status of myosin.
This study has broad implications. It will help better understand, for example, how cancer cells invade tissues and produce metastases, how cells of the immune system migrate to sites of infection and take up bacteria, or how platelets respond to a blood vessel injury to modify its shape and prevent blood loss.

Grove Press is a hardcover and paperback imprint of Grove Atlantic, Inc. Grove Press
was founded on Grove Street in New York's Greenwich Village in 1947. But its
true beginning came in 1951 when twenty-eight-year-old Barney Rossett, Jr.
bought the company and turned it into one of the most influential publishers of
the 1950s, 60s, and 70s. From the outset, Rossett took chances: Grove published
many of the Beats including William S. Burroughs, Jack Kerouac, and Allen
Ginsberg. In addition, Grove Press became the preeminent publisher of twentieth-century
drama in America, publishing the work of Samuel Beckett (Nobel Prize for
Literature 1969), Bertold Brecht, Eugene Ionesco, David Mamet (Pulitzer Prize
for Drama 1984), Harold Pinter (Nobel Prize for Literature 2005), Tom Stoppard,
and many more. The press also introduced to American audiences the work of
international authors such as Jorge Luis Borges, Mikhail Bulgakov, Marguerite
Duras, Jean Genet, Pablo Neruda, Octavio Paz (Nobel Prize for Literature 1990),
Kenzaburo Oe (Nobel Prize for Literature 1994), Elfriede Jelinek (Nobel Prize for
Literature 2004), Alain Robbe-Grillet, and Juan Rulfo. In the late 1950s and
early 1960s, Barney Rossett challenged the obscenity laws by publishing D. H.
Lawrence's Lady Chatterley's Lover and then Henry Miller's Tropic of
Cancer. His landmark court victories changed the American cultural
landscape. Grove Press went on to publish literary erotic classics like The
Story of O and ground-breaking gay fiction like John Rechy's City of
Night, as well as the works of the Marquis de Sade. On the political front,
Grove Press published classics that include Franz Fanon's The Wretched of
the Earth, The Autobiography of Malcolm X, and Che Guevara's The
Bolivian Diary, among many other titles. In 1986, Barney Rosset sold the
company and the press became part of Grove Weidenfeld. In 1993 that company was
merged with Atlantic Monthly Press to form Grove Atlantic, Inc.
Since 1993, Grove Press has been both a hardcover and paperback imprint of Grove
Atlantic publishing fiction, drama, poetry, literature in translation, and
general nonfiction. Authors and titles include Jon Lee Anderson's Che
Guevara: A Revolutionary Life, Robert Olen Butler's A Good Scent from a Strange
Mountain (Pulitzer Prize for Literature 1993), Kiran Desai's Inheritance
of Loss (Man Booker Prize 2006), Richard Flanagan's Gould's Book of Fish
(Commonwealth Prize 2002), Ismail Kadare's The Siege, Jerzy Kosinski's Steps
(National Book Award 1969), Jacqueline Susann's Valley of the Dolls, Nick
McDonell's Twelve, Catherine Millet's The Sexual Life of Catherine M.,
Pascal Mercier's Night Train to Lisbon, Kay Ryan (Poet Laureate of the
United States 2008/9) as well as Antonio Lobo Antunes, Will Self, Barry Hannah,
Terry Southern, and many others.
"A green hunting cap squeezed the top of the fleshy balloon of a head. The green earflaps, full of large ears and uncut hair and the fine bristles that grew in the ears themselves, stuck out on either side like turn signals indicating two directions at once."So enters one of the most memorable characters in American fiction, Ignatius J. Reilly. John Kennedy Toole's hero is one, "huge, obese, fractious, fastidious, a latter-day Gargantua, a Don Quixote of the French Quarter. His story bursts with wholly original characters, denizens of New Orleans' lower depths, incredibly true-to-life dialogue, and the zaniest series of high and low comic adventures" (Henry Kisor, Chicago Sun-Times). Ignatius J. Reilly is a flatulent frustrated scholar deeply learned in Medieval philosophy and American junk food, a brainy mammoth misfit imprisoned in a trashy world of Greyhound Buses and Doris Day movies. He is in violent revolt against the entire modern age. Ignatius' peripatetic employment takes him from Levy Pants, where he leads a workers' revolt, to the French Quarter, where he waddles behind a hot dog wagon that serves as his fortress.A Confederacy of Dunces is an American comic masterpiece that outswifts Swift, whose poem gives the book its title. Set in New Orleans, the novel bursts into life on Canal Street under the clock at D. H. Holmes department store. The characters leave the city and literature forever marked by their presencesIgnatius and his mother; Mrs. Reilly's matchmaking friend, Santa Battaglia; Miss Trixie, the octogenarian assistant accountant at Levy Pants; inept, bemused Patrolman Mancuso; Jones, the jivecat in spaceage dark glasses. Juvenal, Rabelais, Cervantes, Fielding, Swift, Dickenstheir spirits are all here. Filled with unforgettable characters and unbelievable plot twists, shimmering with intelligence, and dazzling in its originality, Toole's comic classic just keeps getting better year after year.Released by Louisiana State University Press in April 1980 and published in paperback in 1981 by Grove Press, A Confederacy of Dunces is nothing short of a publishing phenomenon. Turned down by countless publishers and submitted by the author's mother years after his suicide, the book won the 1981 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. Today, there are over 1,500,000 copies in print worldwide in eighteen languages.

Cornerback Cary Williams says the Philadelphia Eagles still have a "nasty taste" in their mouth for the way they lost 26-24 to New Orleans in the wild-card round.
"The way we went out last year, it wasn't necessarily something we could be proud of. …Every season, every team wants to focus on winning the Super Bowl," Williams said, via ESPN.com. "When you fall short like that, it leaves a nasty taste in your mouth. So I think everyone that's here is hungry. I think everybody that's here is motivated. Everybody here wants to win."
Williams drew a horse-collar penalty late in the game when he took Darren Sproles down while covering a kickoff. He was fined $15,750 for the tackle.
"Even myself, getting that horse collar," Williams said, "I felt I could have made a better tackle than that. There were times I felt I could have stopped a running back in a tackle. I ended up letting a guy drag me along instead of taking out his legs. There were some plays that left a bad taste in my mouth. There are several guys out here who feel the same way."
The Eagles had a pretty good 2013 season under new head coach Chip Kelly. But winning the NFC East and making the postseason won't be good enough for the Eagles in 2014.
"I just think that everybody's hungry," Williams said. "We left a bad taste in our mouths last year losing at home. We lost a lot of games at home. Those are things that we want to right this season. It starts here in OTAs. We've got to continue to work. We've got to take every opportunity as an opportunity to better yourself, individually. It's about camaraderie, about building that trust in your teammates. Once we get that down, we can have a pretty good season."

The first book of its kind, The Fact Checker's Bible is the essential guide to the important but often neglected task of checking facts, whatever their source.
Today, everyone is overwhelmed with information that claims to be factual. But even the most punctilious researcher, writer, student or journalist--not to mention the lazy or deliberately mendacious ones--can sometimes get it wrong. So checking facts has become a more pressing task. But how to go about it?
The Fact Checker's Bible covers:
*Reading for accuracy
*Determining what to check
*Researching the facts
*Assessing sources: people, newspapers and magazines, books, the Internet, etc.
*Checking quotations
*Understanding the legal liabilities of getting it wrong
*Looking out for and avoiding the dangers of plagiarism
For everyone from students to editors to journalists, the methods and practices outlined in The Fact Checker's Bible provides both a standard and a working manual for how to get the facts right.
Have you ever been handed a job description and thought, "Now I just wish someone would tell me how to do this?" Smith, a former fact checker for The New Yorker and currently the head fact checker for the New York Times Magazine, has filled the void with an excellent resource for researchers, writers, and fact checkers. Smith delivers a well-organized and easy-to-read text on the arduous assignment of "getting it right." Writing primarily for those in the publishing industry, she uses real-life examples to show why fact checking is needed, how to identify potential errors of fact, and where to go to check source material. Smith tackles issues of plagiarism, fabrication, libel, and malice, as well as procedures for checking both nonfiction and fiction writing. The final chapter lists resources for credible fact checking. Invaluable not only to fact checkers but also to authors, journalists, and researchers; recommended as a reference for all libraries.

Have you ever wondered how you can combine different products from Content Sparks?
This is a question several customers have asked me recently, so I decided to create a video showing a few ideas for two of our courses.
The ideas I show in the video can be applied in the same way to any products that have common themes or topics. Alternatively, try out the ideas on general topics and then drill down to more specific ones.
The 3 ideas I demonstrate are:
- Combining the courses as-is in a series
- Creating different types of sales funnels
- Doing a 'mash-up' or longer course by mixing content from different products
The products I used in my examples are Content Creation Mastery and Magnetic Content, both of which sound similar but deal with different aspects of content creation.
Watch my ideas and explanations here:
And here's the mind map with the summary of my ideas plus the new outline of the modules for a suggested mash-up:
Here are a few tips for combining products yourself:
- Review the 'Summary Checklist' in each product so you know what it covers BEFORE you do anything
- Use the mind maps that come in our Blaze products (like Content Creation Mastery) to get the big picture for those products
- Use shorter courses to lead into larger ones, or as a bonus to a larger one
- Use shorter courses or bonus tools/checklists/reports/etc as different list-building freebies. Then follow-up with promotion of the longer product
- Make a big list of the modules and key points covered in each course on one mind map or on post-it notes. Then rearrange them in an order that makes sense to you.
- Be sure to look for places where you need to create something new or take out pieces your audience doesn't need
- When in doubt, use the content as-is and just edit for your branding and language. Start simple and work your way up to more advanced mash-ups.

They've an even worse card security procedure, which they continue to use despite my repeated complaints.
Picture the scene, if you will. Something fishy is going on on your credit card (normally it's small value internet transactions). The transactions are flagged up to the credit card fraud department, and they call you.
The Withheld Number
They call you from a withheld number. You answer the phone, and the caller claims to be AIB Credit Card services, and asks you to prove to them that you're actually the card holder!
At this stage on one call (and I get many from them – often over the same repeated transaction…another fail) I pointed out that as I was in posession of a "known good" phone number (i.e. the one that was attached to the credit card), and they were in posession of nothing more than a claim to be AIB, I was the one who should be asking the verification questions. They didn't like that.
Anyway, if you're not as security aware as I am, you give them your credit card number, expiry date and full billing address (having already confirmed your name at the start of the conversation), and they then proceed to query some transactions.
How to scam an AIB customer
All the would be scammer needs to do to get an AIB customer's credit card details is dial #31#<target's phone number>. The call will come up on the target's phone as "Number Witheld" or "Anonymous" or similar.
90% of customers will then give the credit card number, expiry date, billing address and probably even the CVV2 number from the back of the card without question.
If the person refuses to give the details, the scammer can even refer them to the phone number on the back of the card, where AIB's real credit card services will confirm that yes, that is how the calls come. But no, there' s no flags on their account at the moment – it must have all been cleared up.
What AIB should be doing
The correct way to handle this, in so far as there is one, is to call from a verifiable number (i.e. the one that appears on the back of the card), and ask people to call back to the number that appears on the back of the card (not "call 01 654….", but "call us on the number on the back of your credit card"), or even better, a well known freephone telephone banking number (along the lines of the 1890 242424 number).
Bruce Schneier would have a heart attack if he heard this was coming from the two largest banks in the country. Although, given what those two banks have been up to, it's shouldn't be too much of a surprise…

Cho'Gath Build Guide by The q p
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Gentleman's way
Cho'Gath Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
This build was first introduced by the one and only HotshotGG. Cody- HotshotGG.
This build takes advantage of Cho'gath's Passive, which gives him hp per stack.
Champions like varus and kog'maw has made it tough out there for health stacking Cho's, this is what Hotshot saw back then "in the days". The build and the player became legendary when he carried Clg against Tsm with his Main champion Cho'gath.
My Summonername is q p and i have been playing since season 1. (still low elo, cannot find the time to grind the latters ;)) my Lolking score is 1800.
P.S This build only works with the Gentleman Cho'gath skin!
Solo top
Cho'gath is a great toplaner, due to his passive and general tankyness. Cho'gath is a great midlaner, Jungler and in some situations support! But in this build it is all gonna be about Toplane.
Tank runes is the best option for Cho'gath right now, the greater marks of attack damage is for early game power against bruiser, and for lasthitting.
Starting items
Cloth armor against bruiser top works really good right now. Red pot is viable but Cho'gath does not need the early game power. Your aim is Philosopher's Stone, so getting fearie charm or Rejuvenation Bead is not a bad idea.
Late game...
you are now done with your Frozen Heart and the other two defensive items, the next item is optional.. the only thing is that it have to be something offensive.. like Wit's End or Last Whisper. you can even go Malady after this you should build Atma's Impaler to use the affect of your ulty Feast which is giving you 900 healt at full stacks lvl 16, which mean you don't have to buy more hp. after this you can now call yourself a real Gentleman.
Summoners spells
Flash is a good option for every champion (recommended)
Teleport great for a solo top, to go back and buy and dragon pressure (recommended)
Ignite a great spell, really helps finishing people off..
Ghost this you can choose over flash, ghost is good for finishing someone off with your feast
Smite Not in toplane, tho.. feast smite is a truly nasty combination.
Exhaust yet another great spell for Cho'gath helping you feastin people
Feasting is very important to keep at fully stacks, you are not gonna buy any healt items.
remember you dont always have to finish people off with Feast it can be a sign to target someone like Teemo in teamfigts
i cant explain how important farming really is.... you should try to get every single minion, i mean it, every single one.. if you have the option to auto attack the enemy and last hit a minion, last hit the minion. It will really help you get more money for your items.
Rupture or feral scream??
Rupture is fine, but the silence in feral scream makes it too good not to max.
You should time you trips back so you can buy atleast one ward, pinks are really strong right now!
This build makes you a giant CCBug.
if you have something to say about the build leave a comment and help me improve :)

Watson's Childrens Shelter is very well run. The children are well loved and provided with all of the basic necessities to become healthy members of our community. This not only includes a warm bed and food but access to medical and dental care. Over the many years that I have worked with them, I have seen so many success storied because of the love and care provided by the wonderful people at Watson's. It is truly a blessing for these children to get a new start with Watson's. These people are professionals who know how to give fantastic care to children.
I am so impressed with the work Watson Children's Shelter does. The shelter has rescued hundreds of children from conditions I can't even imagine. The staff treats each child with love and respect, and truly changes lives for the better. Moreover, they do it with class and always present a positive face to the community.
I am the executive director of a different sort of not for profit. We provide fun. Personally and professionally, I support Watson Children's Shelter because what they do matters.
I am an area therapist who works with children, many of whom have suffered from abuse and neglect. Many of the children I have worked with have spent time in Watson Children's Shelter. I am always so amazed by the stability, care, and safety the shelter affords these children in their time of need. The kids express how safe they felt there and how kind the staff is. No child is in the shelter for any good reason, rather, the worst possible circumstances one could imagine have brought them there. And still they find security and nurturing in the storm.

Petal Pushers: Chefs Pick Edible Flowers
Sure, flowers make an attractive garnish—but they're tasty enough to move to the center of the plate
THEY'RE VERY pretty scattered over a salad or floating on the surface of a chilled spring soup. But edible flowers are moving beyond their role as go-to garnish for junior-league luncheons. Chefs are turning to them as much for their distinctive flavors and textures as for their good looks. At Manresa, in Los Gatos, Calif., chef-owner David Kinch features them on almost every plate. "I use flowers for color, aroma and their starburst of flavor," he said. "For instance, a radish flower tastes of radish—but it's so tiny, so surprising."
Mr. Kinch serves calendulas, chrysanthemums, borage and the blossoms of most every vegetable and herb you can think of: arugula, rapini, sage, broccoli, onion and garlic scape, to name just a few. Though he mainly uses flowers raw, he also makes floral bouillons, including one made with peppery nasturtiums.
Chef Matthew Lightner, of New York's Atera, is likewise attracted to nasturtiums' vivid saffron color and spicy taste. He recently created an all-orange dish of nasturtium blossoms, sea urchin and sweet potatoes. When he got a big shipment of wild violets last spring, he coated scoops of spicy chocolate sorbet in the aromatic purple blossoms.
When cooking with flowers at home, there are just a few things to keep in mind. Most florists' blossoms have been chemically treated and are not safe to eat. Instead, look for edible flowers at farmers' markets and natural foods shops, in your own garden or online, at sources such as melissas.com. Spring is peak season, but many of these flowers continue to be available through early fall.
A new book, "Cooking with Flowers" (Quirk Books), offers sourcing tips and more than 100 sweet and savory recipes, including delicate, petal-strewn pansy crepes (pictured at left). The book's author, Miche Bacher, said her aim was to show home cooks how versatile edible blossoms can be. "I wanted to convey the inherent sensuality of flowers," she explained. "Even the unassuming dandelion has a beckoning earthiness."

Pansy Crepes With Pansy Syrup
Makes: 12 crepes and 2 cups syrup
Combine 1½ cups milk, ½ cup water, 1 tablespoon sugar, ¼ teaspoon salt, 3 tablespoons melted butter, ½ cup buckwheat flour, ¾ cup all-purpose flour and 3 eggs in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Refrigerate batter at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
Meanwhile, in a pot over medium heat, simmer 2 cups sugar and 2 cups water, stirring, until sugar dissolves. Place 1 cup fresh pansies in a nonreactive bowl and pour hot syrup over top. Let stand at least 30 minutes. Strain syrup and discard flowers.
Bring batter to room temperature and stir to combine. Set 1 cup fresh pansies by the stove. In a nonstick skillet over medium heat, melt 1 pat butter. Remove skillet from heat and pour in ¼ cup batter, swirling to distribute. Return skillet to heat. After 1 minute, sprinkle a few pansies over batter. Loosen edges of crepe, flip and cook 30 seconds more. Repeat with remaining batter and more butter as needed. Serve crepes with syrup.

'Homeland' Season 7: Who Will Be Carrie's Next Quinn?
Carrie (Claire Danes) lost another important person in her life in "Homeland." Will she get a new love interest after Quinn (Rupert Friend) in the upcoming installment?
Fans of the series are still reeling over Quinn's sudden death in last season's finale. He sacrificed his life to save Carrie and President Keane (Elizabeth Marvel).
In an interview with Deadline, Friend revealed that his character was supposed to die in that hospital in Berlin in season 5 after Quinn was tortured by the Jihadists. He said the showrunners changed their minds after the renewal announcement.
After Brody's (Damian Lewis) death, Quinn became Carrie's love interest in the series. Many were hoping that they would end up together, but it did not happen. According to Friend, the reason why it probably did not work out was because Quinn and Carrie changed. Even though he did not want to, Quinn blamed Carrie for what happened to him. In season 6, the last thing he wanted was to get involved with her, even if he did admit he loved her above all.
"I think because as the seasons developed, you start to see that Quinn's moral code is actually very different than Carrie's, as somebody who I believe has a lot of integrity and questions his actions and the effects those actions have on other people. I think that Carrie is less and less doing that and is charging forward blindly without necessarily taking accountability for the consequences of her actions, and I think that those two moral codes are fundamentally incompatible," Friend said.
Meanwhile, the new season will see Carrie pick up the pieces and return to the intelligence community. Spoilers reveal that she will leave Keane's camp to go back to the CIA. Previously, Carrie was appointed as the president's senior advisor. When it was revealed that Keane had Saul (Mandy Patinkin) captured, Carrie attempted to confront her. Keane, however, blocked her.
"Homeland" season 7 is expected to air sometime in 2018.

A reminder to those legislators threatening to hogtie University of Georgia funding unless it continues the annual rodeo: There are laws against extortion.
Make no mistake, that's exactly what they're doing, and it is shameful.
Members of House and Senate Agriculture committees held a joint session Thursday to discuss the university's decision to end the annual Great Southland Stampede after almost 30 years roping and riding in Stegeman Coliseum. In the meeting, some lawmakers indicated if the university didn't reverse its decision, it could suffer budget penalties as a result.
''I don't know whether we have the power to make them do anything, but of course we do have power over the budget,'' said House Agriculture Committee Chairman Robert Ray. ''It was suggested by some of the members (of the Agriculture Committee) that we move money out of some parts of the budget and put it in as a line item to be used for the rodeo.''
Rep. Ellis Black, D-Valdosta, a UGA graduate, put it more bluntly. ''(UGA) is gonna lose some strong supporters who have been very, very loyal to them at budget time. And we're in a nasty budget time right now. ... You've got a number of us that've just had a bellyful of it.''
In January, UGA administrators decided this month's rodeo will be the last in the coliseum, since the dirt and dust it creates cause problems for the arena's upgraded air conditioning and electrical systems and because ''there no longer exists an academic connection between the rodeo and the (College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences).''
The reasoning didn't mollify committee members, who derided the university's decision on a couple of fronts.
First, they said evicting the rodeo from the coliseum was a direct violation of the arena's original mission. At the time the legislature approved funding for the coliseum's construction, they said it was pitched as a project designed, in part, to provide a locale for livestock shows. By making the rodeo no longer welcome, the university is going back on its word.
Lawmakers also attacked the decision as being indicative of an overall decline in support for agricultural education among university officials. Rep. Ray went as far as to question whether UGA even wanted its agricultural programs anymore. And, he wasn't alone.
''This is not only about the demise of the rodeo. A lot of people across this state feel like the College of Agriculture has been eroded and picked apart,'' said Rep. Mack Crawford, R-Zebulon, in a recent Associated Press article.
Let's get something straight: As a sporting event, the rodeo is entertainment. It is not an academic exercise nor does it fall under traditional athletics. Suggesting the rodeo is a part of agricultural education is tantamount to saying the Outkast concert homecoming weekend was connected to the College of Music.
What's more, just because the rodeo will no longer be held in the coliseum shouldn't have to mean the event's demise. Two years ago the university opened a 70,000-square-foot livestock instruction center with two arenas, one of which is air conditioned. It might not be the coliseum, but this seems like a potential locale for future rodeos. There are also other potential sites outside of Athens. If students and lawmakers are genuinely interested in keeping the rodeo alive, they shouldn't let bullheadedness prevent flexibility and consideration of alternatives.
We know the university's decision is upsetting to rodeo fans and the students who devote a significant amount of time putting together this event every year. However, no amount of disappointment can justify legislators' threats to cut funding they know the university depends on for its academics, research and operations. Even the mere suggestion of such retaliation raises serious questions about their ethics and ability to serve the people of Georgia.
