After finishing the first book in the series, I had to start the next one, The Novice to see what happens to Sonea and whether the High Lord's secret is discovered. I found book 2 of the Black magician Trilogy just as exciting as book 1. The story goes….
'The most important attribute of a magician is knowledge . Without it his strength is useless.' The magician's eyes flickered to Sonea, 'Even if his powers surface of their own accord, he will soon be dead if he does not gain the knowledge of how to control them.
Sonea knows the other novices in the Magicians' Guild all come from powerful families, but she also knows she can turn to Rothen and Dannyl for help when she needs it. That is, until somone starts spreading malicious rumours about her — and Akkarin, The High Lord, steps in.
Promoted to Guild Ambassador, Lord Dannyl leaves for the Elyne court. His first order from Administrator Lorlen is to resume, in secret, High Lord Akkarin's long-abandoned research into ancient magical knowledge. Not knowing the true reason for his journey, Dannyl is soon facing unexpected dangers.
Meanwhile, Sonea has almost forgotten the High Lord's dark secret, but keeping the truth hidden may be a grave mistake.
Found the character a lot more interesting and complex. Had to work out how to fit/find her own place at the same time dealing with the whisperings over becoming the High Lord's apprentice. In the meantime the dangers constantly faced by those she left behind in the city are a reminder that times aren't safe. And is the High Lord responsible or is he trying to protect them all? Who do you trust?

Jeffrey Rosen will be a featured speaker at the Take Back the American Dream conference, convening June 18 to 20 in Washington, DC, as part of the panel "The Supreme Court & Constitutional Policy for Progressives." The following is an excerpt from an article originally published by The New Republic.
President Obama's announcement that he supports same-sex marriage may have had an immediate impact on political discourse, but the same can't be said of its implications for constitutional jurisprudence. For those hoping for a forthright defense of constitutional protections for gay rights, Obama's announcement seemed to raise more questions than it settled.
Commentators were right to point out that Obama's announced position—that he supports gay marriage, but every state should decide on the matter for itself—is inconsistent with the position his administration took last year in opposing the Defense of Marriage Act. Indeed, the Department of Justice announced that "strict scrutiny" of anti-marriage laws reveals them to be motivated by anti-gay animus, and thus unconstitutional; in other words, Attorney General Eric Holder suggested this was precisely an issue that states aren't free to decide on their own.
In contrast with such bold declarations of principle, Obama famously cited the personal nature of his "evolution": It was motivated, he said, by conversations he had with wife and his daughters about friends who have gay parents. But it would be hasty, not to mention cynical, to conclude that Obama invoked his family to avoid having to discuss constitutional protections for same-sex marriage. Rather, those invocations may have been a shrewd suggestion of how such protections can best be achieved.

China's record on food safety is getting better, but there is still room for improvement, according to UW Law professor Stephanie Tai.
Professor Tai's Nov. 29 talk at Harvard Law School was covered by The Harvard Crimson, the student-run daily newspaper of Harvard University.
Some high-profile incidents, including the FDA's 2007 decision to detain farm-raised seafood from China and Japan's discovery in 2008 of dumplings contaminated with insecticide, have given food from China a bad reputation.
However, Tai said China has taken efforts to improve food safety, in part because of a growing demand in China for safer food products.
The Crimson's article is available here.

Innsbruck 2012
Australian Team exceeds all expectations
Australia was reprsented by 13 outstanding athletes at the inaugural Winter Youth Olympic Games in Innsbruck, Austria from 13-22 January.
President of the International Olympic Committee Jacques Rogge said the first Winter Youth Olympic Games has 'exceeded all expectations' at the closing ceremony in downtown Innsbruck. The same can be said for the 2012 Australian Winter Youth Olympic Team.
Bronze medals to snowboarder Alex Fitch and ice hockey player Sharnita Crompton were Australia's outstanding performances, backed up by an additional six top-ten finishes across five disciplines. All 13 athletes represented our country with distinction and gave their all against the world's best winter junior specialists.
From Perth, Melbourne, the Snowy Region, Sydney, the NSW Central Coast, Brisbane and Townsville our 15-17 year olds did Australia proud and gave their all. It's not easy to compete against opponents who ski to school or have huge mountains on their doorstep yet our Australian athletes did just that.
In her first role as Chef de Mission of an Australian Team, Alisa Camplin was thrilled with what had been achieved in the stunning city which hosted its third Winter Olympic event. Young Ambassador for the Team Ramone Cooper did a sensational job of encouraging participation in the Culture & Education programme and at performing at their best in competition.
Greta Small represented Australia in the Opening Ceremony as flagbearer and Alex Fitch in the Closing Ceremony, to top off a wonderful 10 days where she also finished fourth in the halfpipe.
The AOC hopes all of the athletes keep training hard, learn from the experience and aim high for Sochi 2014 and Pyeongchang 20918. A huge thank you to all coaches, officials and support staff working across medical, media and athlete services.
Innsbruck 2012 the experience
Austrian city Innsbruck has hosted the Winter Olympic Games twice before (1964 and 1976). With an innovative twist it hosted the first Winter Youth Olympic Games in 2012.
The 'Sport + Media Experience' was designed to inspire young people and encourage cross-cultural collaboration. By implementing a Culture and Education Programme based on new media platforms alongside youth-specific sporting disciplines, Innsbruck represented an extension of the IOC's new direction in generating enthusiasm among young people to share Olympic values.
From 13 to 22 January 2012 approximately 1,000 athletes between the ages of 14-18 competed in a sporting programme based on the seven sports included in Vancouver 2010 - biathlon, bobsleigh, curling, ice hockey, luge, skating and skiing. Additionally, team competitions involving mixed Nations and gender that were pioneered at the Games- such as mixed skip jumping and Short Track Nations Team Competition. New events such as Snowboard Slopestyle and women's ski jumping featured in Innsbruck as a preview to their inclusion for Sochi 2014.

Early Weekend Estimates: 'Focus' Eyes $18.5M Opening Frame; 'Kingsman' Remains Strong W/ $10.8M; 'The Lazarus Effect' Scares Up $9.2M
Warner Bros. reports that Focus earned an estimated $6.47 million for its opening day, easily taking first place on Friday. The Will Smith-Margot Robbie con artist flick debuted just under Limitless' $6.6 million first day back in 2011. Unfortunately, early word of mouth appears very mixed as the film received a "B" CinemaScore and sits at a 66 percent user rating on Rotten Tomatoes this morning (where critics disapprove even more at 56 percent). Still, the film's adult-skewing appeal could balance out some of the early complaints about the film throughout the weekend. BoxOffice is projecting an opening frame of $18.5 million.
Relativity's The Lazarus Effect debuted to $3.8 million on Friday as it claimed second place for the day, nearly 24 percent lower than last year's Oculus. The horror pic's early buzz isn't heading in the right direction, though: only 33 percent of Rotten Tomatoes users approve of the film so far, while critics have given it an even lower 14 percent. Given the natural tendency for horror pics to drop off quickly, expect the same here. BoxOffice projects a $9.2 million opening weekend.
Fifty Shades of Grey slid into third place yesterday with $3.5 million, down another 56.5 percent from last Friday. The erotic drama has taken in $140.3 million domestically through 15 days of release, putting it 8 percent ahead of the original Twilight. BoxOffice projects a $9.9 million third weekend.
Fox's Kingsman: The Secret Service continues to display strong holding power as it eased 41 percent from last Friday to $3.12 million in fourth place. The graphic novel adaptation has earned an impressive $77.1 million domestically to date, putting it 1 percent ahead of Daredevil and 31 percent ahead of Jumper through their same release points. Kingsman will also surpass the latter film's final domestic gross of $80.2 million over the weekend. Look for a weekend total around $10.8 million.
Filling out the top five yesterday was The DUFF, down just 50 percent from opening day last week to $2.14 million. The sleeper hit's 8-day total stands at just over $15 million, putting it 15 percent ahead of the pace of That Awkward Moment. BoxOffice projects a $6.5 million weekend.
Three well-received holdovers fought for space just outside the top five yesterday. The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water dropped 47.5 percent to $2.11 million, giving it a strong $131.2 total thus far and setting it on course for an $8.9 million frame.

Jeff McInerney enters his eighth season as the head football coach at Central Connecticut State University in 2013. He has a 44-33 record over his first seven seasons in New Britain. McInerney has led the Blue Devils to a pair of Northeast Conference titles and his 44 wins are the second-highest total in school history. His .571 winning percentage ranks third in the program's history.
The 2013 season will be the second in the newly expanded Arute Field, a facility that has been kind to the Blue Devils under McInerney. Since 2006, Coach Mac and the Blue Devils are 26-8 in home games, with four undefeated seasons at home.
During the 2012 season, Rob Hollomon, as a sophomore, became the ninth different player in school history to rush for 1,000 yards in a season. It is the 12th 1,000-yard season for the CCSU program overall and the fifth in McInerney's first seven seasons. Hollomon earned numerous accolades during the year, including a pair of national player of the week honors for his offensive and special teams play as a returner.
CCSU opened 2011 with a home victory over Southern Connecticut,
which marked the 15th consecutive home victory for the Blue
Devils. The 15-game winning streak at Arute Field is a school
record and was tied for the longest in the nation.
In 2010 Central posted a perfect 5-0 mark at home, and an 8-3 overall record. They were 7-1 in NEC play, marking the second straight season with seven conference wins. They won a share of their fourth NEC title since 2004. The 14 league wins are the second-highest two-season total in league history. In McInerney's five seasons the Blue Devils are 22-2 at home.
McInerney was named the NEC Coach of the Year in 2009. The Blue Devils won the first outright NEC title in school history and advanced to their first-ever Division I postseason game.
In 2009 the Blue Devils matched the school-record for victories with a 9-3 overall mark, including a 7-1 record in NEC action. Central clinched the title with a 14-13 win over St. Francis (PA) in the final regular season game of the season. Central's six-straight wins from Sept. 26 until Oct. 31 marked the longest win streak in its Division I history. The Blue Devils advanced to the Gridiron Classic and faced Butler on Dec. 5. They lost to the Bulldogs and finished the season with nine wins, the most in a single-season since 1973.
The Blue Devils made an appearance in the national polls for the second time in McInerney's four seasons in 2009. Running back James Mallory helped make program history by becoming the second player in school history to be a finalist for the prestigious Walter Payton Award, awarded to the top player in the Division I Football Championship Subdivision. Mallory finished his career in New Britain as the second-leading scorer and rusher in program history, and earned numerous All-America honors following his senior campaign.
Three years ago, the Blue Devils set more milestones under McInerney. They won the NAACP Harmony Classic, defeating North Carolina Central, 35-23, in front of an NEC record 8,322 people at New Britain's Veterans' Stadium in Willow Brook Park on Sept. 20, 2008.
McInerney has coached two NEC offensive players of the year (Mallory, 2009; Justise Hairston, 2006), 15 first team All-NEC selections, 21 second team All-NEC selections, five ECAC Player of the Week honorees and 35 NEC Player/Rookie of the Week recipients during his tenure. McInerney's student-athletes have also received 12 All-America awards, including two Academic All-America honors. Two years ago linebacker Lawton Arnold was named the NEC defensive rookie of the year.
Central Connecticut went 6-5 in 2007. The Blue Devils again ranked high in the national rushing ranks. Jo Jo Freeman guided the nation's 10th most prolific rushing offense. His 828-yard, 10-touchdown season helped him earn first team Sports Network Mid-Major All-America status.
McInerney saw many firsts in his inaugural season as the head coach at Central. An 8-3 record in 2006 marked the third straight winning season for the Blue Devils. But it was the national attention that McInerney's Blue Devils received that helped CCSU reach new heights among FCS programs.
The second week of the 2006 season brought the Blue Devils to the national stage. CCSU went to Statesboro, GA, to face six-time national champion Georgia Southern in its home opener. A 17-13 victory by the Blue Devils made national news, and a week later CCSU entered the Sports Network National Poll for the first time in school history. The Blue Devils were nationally ranked for the first time during the season and reached as high as #19 in the poll. The 8-3 record marked the second time in three seasons that CCSU posted eight wins, the second-highest single-season total in program history.
McInerney's teams have led the league in rushing offense during each of his five seasons in New Britain. The Blue Devils have also ranked in the nation's top-10 in rushing during each campaign. That includes holding the top spot in 2006. Led by Hairston, the Blue Devils paced the nation in rushing. Hairston, who set a CCSU and Northeast Conference single-season rushing mark with 1,847 yards, earned third team AP All-America honors and finished eighth in the Walter Payton Award voting. The NEC Offensive Player of the Year, Hairston also joined Nutt and Farod Muhammad as Sports Network Mid-Major All-America selections.

Purchase a stability ball that is large enough for you to use instead of
your chair and alternate sitting on the ball with sitting in your chair
every thirty minutes.
The appropriate ball diameter depends upon your individual height, as well
as keyboard and desk height. Many toy and exercise stores as well as
ergonomic suppliers have sturdy stability BURST RESISTANT balls of varying
sizes that are fun and healthful to sit on while working at the computer.

comfortable to sit on. When you sit on the ball, let your hips be slightly
higher than your knees (the angle of your hip is about 100 - 110 degrees).
Ball sizes may need to be increased or decreased depending upon how much
you inflate the ball and how you are sitting in relation to the keyboard.

Felipe earned his Ph.D. in 1990 in Plant Pathology under the direction of Dr. Turner Sutton. Some in the media have made much of the number of lawyers in the new administration of Luis Guillermo Solís Rivera. But current and past professors outnumber the lawyers two to one in the top spots. | http://bit.ly/R89yZL
An analysis of the biographies of ministers-designate, vice presidents-elect and two ambassador-designates appointed by the president-elect show a preference for academics. President-elect Solís himself is a former professor and Fulbright scholar. | http://www.amcostarica.com/043014.htm#32

Samuel G. Jackson, founder of Samuel Jackson, Inc., died Nov. 17 at Lubbock, Texas, at age 85.
Jackson's father, S.B. Jackson, had pioneered many 20th century cotton industry innovations, including the first acid delinting process for cottonseed and the use of chemical additives in cotton moisture control.
Sam Jackson's cotton career started with further exploration of moisture control issues and spanned more than 60 years, during which time he researched, designed and manufactured products and methods to improve the cotton ginning process through advanced moisture control techniques.
Perhaps his best-known invention is the moist air generator, known as the Humidaire. Developed in 1957, these units are in wide use, restoring moisture to cotton at key processing points, which allows the gin to operate faster and produce higher value bales. Throughout his career, Jackson continued to develop new drying and humidifying innovations and held a number of patents for these and other designs. His name has become synonymous with gin moisture control.
Today, products resulting directly from or inspired by his designs are in use in gins all over the world, including the largest and most efficient gins. These products have helped cotton growers increase crop value and improved profitability for gins through operational efficiency gains.
Jackson also provided many jobs to the area and he was well known for having several long-term employees, with some serving the company for over 40 years. In addition to the manufacturing jobs, many well-known professionals in the cotton industry list Samuel Jackson, Inc. as a past or present employer.
Jackson retired as company president in 1990 and served a new role as a senior engineer and adviser for many years.
Jackson was born May 17, 1925, at Ardmore, Okla., to Samuel B. and Irma C. Jackson. After growing up near Iowa Park, Texas, his family moved to Lubbock where he attended Lubbock High School. He attended Texas Tech and Texas A&M Universities as a participant in the Army Specialized Training Program. He completed his Army service as a member of the Signal Corps in Alaska. While finishing his degree at Texas Tech in mechanical engineering, he met his wife of 63 years, Geraldine Hope Jackson.
Jackson taught civil engineering courses at Texas Tech for two years following his graduation, after which he and Gerry moved to Colorado, where he was involved with construction projects for the University of Colorado. After two years, they returned to Lubbock and later decided to purchase S.B. Jackson's business interests and continue work in cotton moisture control.
He and Gerry founded Samuel Jackson Manufacturing Corporation at Lubbock. He was a pioneer in the field of cotton moisture control and continued to develop new drying and humidifying innovations; he held a number of patents for these and other designs. He retired in 1990 and served a new company, Samuel Jackson, Inc., as technical and management adviser for a number of years.
Jackson is preceded in death by his parents and his three brothers, Lloyd, Robert, and John. He is survived by his wife, Gerry, three daughters, Susan Jackson Cobb (Larry) of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico; Emily Jackson Thatcher (Jay) of Anchorage, Alaska; and Amy Jackson Recht (John) of Port Ludlow, Wash.; and a son, Samuel Christopher "Chris" Jackson (Lynn) of Lubbock; grandchildren, Meredith and Graham Thatcher; Kindahl, Ashton, and Savannah Jackson; and Jean-Paul Recht.
Jackson was a member of the Christian Science Church in Lubbock for many years where he served in a number of positions and had many friends.
Memorial services for Sam Jackson will be held at 4 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 20, at Resthaven Chapel. Memorials are suggested to ChildFund International, P.O. Box 26484, Richmond Va. 23261-6484 or to the Salvation Army of Lubbock.

After all the hassle of trying to keep my last 86 on the road, I decided this time I would start with a clean slate rather than endlessly fixing other people's terrible efforts like on my previous cars. I waited and waited for about 2-3 months until this one finally popped up for auction and I had to have it.
Specs so far:
1986 Panda Levin Gt-Apex 2dr
Full interior, power steering, power mirrors and very complete. The roof lining is stained terribly though, but i'll be dyeing this black at a later stage I think.
Foglight grill with yellow fogs, and apart from a couple of tiny spots of surface rust completely rust free.
100% standard, never been modified which was a big plus.
I've been collecting parts since before I sold the last one, so as soon as complaince and rego is sorted i'll be getting stuck into it straight away.
Parts waiting to be installed:
Shockworks coilovers
Cut and shut LCA's
T3 RCA's
Short shifter
AJPS traction brackets
Toda timing belt
Toda 0.8mm headgasket
My flowbench developed bigport head and bigger cams.
Stainless harness bar and driftworks harness for the drivers side
ARC adjustable cam gears
Cusco catch can
Put my wheels and tyres on
Also need to buy some stainless mandrel bends to make up an exhaust and extractors, but this can come later too I think.
Anyway, everyone likes pics. I got a bit over excited and decided to put my zenki lip on tonight

Creating of script for Metatrader4 -- 2
Budget $10-30 USD
I´m looking for experienced programmer in mql4 or C++. I need to create a script for Metatrader4 with a simple statistics that would be loaded on two platforms simultaneously on the same instrument and that would then search for the differences in the data, according to the condition. The script should search which price is higher or lower than the price on the second platform according to the formula. It should then display in the graph in real time how many times the difference in price was found and it should be displayed on each platform.
The difference should be searched according to the following formula - Bid1>Ask2 and the Bid1 price is at least about a set value of difference higher. If the difference is found, this difference would be counted in the statistics.
If the price of two platforms is compared and if the script finds out that the Bid price is higher on one platform than the Ask price on the other platform, it is the platform 1. It means that it is Bid1-Ask1-Spread1 on the platform 1 and Bid2-Ask2-Spread2 on the other platform.
In order to search for the price difference it should be possible to set a minimum price difference in points, which the script should search for. So if the script finds the minimal price difference, which is at least as the set value, this difference should be counted in the statistics. The format of setting: 0.00001
For example: When the setting is at 20 points (0.00020), the script should search for the price difference in the size of at least 20 points.
There should be possible to set range of size of spread. For spread1 in format 0.00001 - 0.00001 and for spread2 0.00001 - 0.00001.
For example: Spread1 20-25 points (0.00020 - 0.00025) and Spread2 20-25 points (0.00020 - 0.00025)
