text: David Bowie is taking a break from being David Bowie, at least for a year. I'm fed up with the industry, he said at the Vanity Fair party last week. And I've been fed up for quite some time. He greeted strangers with, Hi! I'm David. I have seven children. And I'm fucking freezing. So how does an icon slack? Just don't participate. I'm taking a year offno touring, no albums. I go for a walk every morning, and I watch a ton of movies. One day, I watched three Woody Allen movies in a row. I like going out to the Angelika: If the first one's only okay, I'll sneak into one after the other. It's so easy. He says he has no plans to take up hobbies either. I've been listening to Arcade Fire and Secret Machines and this great opera from the eighties called Nixon in China. It's just that. He gets off the plane. He has dinner with Mao. Someday, I might do opera. But I don't have a musical in me, much less a vampire musical.

Holiday Inn Krakow
30-072 Kraków
St. Wielopole 4
St. Wielopole 4
|Generally, we have enjoyed our stay in the Holiday Inn. Make up of the room (beds) and availability of glasses for tooth brushing could be a little bit improved. Attentiveness and service of the management was exemplary.
|I was very impressed by what the Krakow Holiday Inn had to offer, especially with regard to service. Members of staff were unfailingly helpful and pleasant and all spoke excellent English. I arrived during a period of national mourning, which meant that some of the drama events I'd hoped to see were cancelled. Reception staff were most concerned to help me find alternative attractions. Excellent.
|We had a wonderful stay. The gym room was a nice surprise. We plan another visit in the spring.

Gale, part of Cengage Learning, has announced the launch of AccessMyLibrary School Edition, a mobile application for the iPhone.
In December 2009, Gale launched its first iPhone application, helping iPhone users find their local public library. The new K-12 version allows students to find their local school library - (grade schools, middle schools and high schools) and access the vast array of Gale resources the school library has purchased on their behalf. Students can use the application to locate their school and then will be required to authenticate for the school year, using a password provided by the school.
"With this new AccessMyLibrary iPhone application, the school library is available anytime remotely, helping to make library resources even more easily accessible," said John Barnes, Gale's executive vice president of strategic marketing and business development. "This application is making research accessible to students in the way they prefer to learn, taking advantage of the latest technology. Students are able to access their school's Gale databases in order to finish homework, work on a project or do research."
Using sources including magazines, journals, and newspapers, students can research a variety of topics including:
* Environment - unearth facts on conservation and sustainability
* Biographies - discover the stories of remarkable people of yesterday and today
* Career choices - uncover interesting career paths and industries
* Literature - read commentary, criticism and context on literary works and their authors
* Science - find current, credible research and experiments that allow for first-hand experience
* History - explore past events and their impact in shaping the world of today
The AML School Edition app can be downloaded at the iTunes store. The iPhone application is free, and the content is paid for by the school that is accessed. Also available at the iTunes store, is the AML public library application.

"The interview was simply terrific. He was well-prepared, on message and couldn't have delivered better – so much so that the reporter sent an email right after with the title 'Soooo good!'…We simply would not achieve such excellent results as the Globe piece without your collaboration and unexcelled expertise. We are as grateful as ever." SVP Communications, Canadian FP 50 company
"Patrick, (my SVP Communications) thought I was going to come over the table at you – and so did I at one point!! It got me ready and I remembered what you said about being strong on strategy statements. Thanks for your help and support." President and CEO, major Canadian bank
"We were really pleased with his (CEO's) Canada AM performance. He said even his mother thought he had done a great job, and as he put it, mothers don't have to lie to their children. And he did a terrific job with an ROB-TV interview later in the day — ignored the interviewer's last question completely to tell him about our new acquisition. It was a thing of beauty. I don't think the journalist quite knew what had hit him. Thank you. Your coaching was invaluable." Director of Communications, Canadian financial products company
"4. How do you rate the instructor? poor 1 2 3 4 5 v. good
Comment: He was great; practical, no nonsense, able to talk like a business person and a journalist equally well. I felt he knew very well what the journalist would be thinking during an interview." Managing Director and Country Head, international financial services company
"Thank you very much for your help during some very stressful times during this past 10 days. Your advice and guidance with (X and Y) helped them face some very unhappy, and sometimes aggressive media types. (Y) repeatedly mentioned how much she appreciated your counsel. I hope we never have to face something like this again, but if we do I know where I am turning for help." Communications Officer, top ten Canadian public company
"I'm sending a note, somewhat belated I'm afraid, to thank you for the media training session. Notwithstanding my vocal resistance to role playing exercises, I enjoyed the session and found your comments very useful." Senior Litigator, regulatory agency
"I would like to thank you for the informative communications training session you led us through this morning. The session was filled with good information and strong tools for preparing and responding to media inquiries. In addition, I believe the tools will aid in internal communication, client liaison, formal and informal business meetings and general conversation management. I look forward to practicing and using the techniques you presented." Senior Manager (M. Eng.), Canadian financial institution
"Thanks Pat. I really appreciate the advice you have given me through the years. Your idea to use the word 'innovative' for this interview stuck with me and seemed to work very well."CFO, top 50 Canadian company
"I just wanted to let you know I had a brief chat today with (W) who was very impressed with the media training session and your approach. She thought you spoke a language that participants (VPs) understood, and that the concept of speaking to media with a client-point-of-view was new for some of the folks and tremendously helpful." Communications Advisor, top 50 financial institution
"Very good, to the point, easy to understand and good coaching. Time well spent for me."Managing Director & Regional Head, capital markets financial services group
"It was a highly-impactful session that delivered a lot of value. We were all very impressed and appreciative of the info and tips that you provided. We look forward to working with you more often." Director, Corporate Affairs, financial services company
"You were whisked away before I could convey my gratitude for a terrific session today. The entire team was pumped and felt sooo good after training with you. I learned so much and felt completely reenergized. Un gros merci!" Director, Media Relations, leading national distribution company
"I thought you'd get a kick out of X's experience with a recent media interaction: 'Was just interviewed – stuck to the two lines. I used that great technique – but I want to step back for a moment and give you some context. It is an internal matter, and we are working with our employees to resolve the issue. That's the first time I got to use Pat's line! I know I should not be happy given the circumstances – but it worked like a charm!' And when I called her laughing, she indicated that she ended the interview (after repeating her two lines in about 20 different ways) with 'Would you like me to spell my name for you?' Thanks again for the great training – it's proving quite useful every day." Director, Media Relations, national distribution company
"I thought the session was very useful. This is the second time that I have done the training with Pat and I found that I learned new techniques each time. There was a focus this session on developing the framework of the problem, the general statements and solutions and this is something that I will use going forward." Branch Director, regulator
"I thought that the training today was really good. Actually using the model helps to make it more concrete for me and so I can better apply it later on. Really enjoyed it." Branch Manager, regulator
"I thought Pat was terrific. He did his homework or is quick on his feet because he certainly grasped the essence of (the issue) and provided incredibly helpful feedback. I found it extremely helpful." Branch Director, regulator
"Just a very quick note to express my thanks for your training last week.
Clearly you are expert and very experienced in your business.
It was very interesting and informative and I am sure that it will be of great use in my everyday work as well as on the, hopefully infrequent, occasions that I am in contact with the media." VP Development, Caribbean real-estate development company
"The feedback to the session was great. Everyone liked hearing from you what things they need to consider to make the interview one that will benefit all parties and James, who has given an interview recently, during our discussion, raised a number of the points you provided. It was great for me to get the validation for many of the points I make with them and also to refresh things that I have forgotten over time." Senior Manager, Communications, financial services association.
"Do want to thank you for everything you did for us, getting us ready for the storm. X and Y could not have done better, and Z's deep dive with the Star and Globe set us up for success. All because of you. I wish I had money for every time X said to a reporter 'but that just doesn't make sense…' Your 'premise challenge' executed perfectly." Vice President, major Canadian enterprise in labour dispute.

Okay, I'm starting to look at this in a completely different way than when I set out to do this.. Thanks! I'll play around with the ideas you've given me and see what it comes to. As you say, just starting out with rooms, people and communication will probably help me understand and evolve a model for how to do this, without getting too complex too fast. On a sidenote, while I know I probably shouldn't be thinking about this quite yet, where would I start running into performance problems as far as concurrent processes go? Looking forward (pretty far), there'd probably be a stage at which I'd have a few thousand rooms (1k - 5k perhaps), a similar amount of computer-generated creatures with highly varying degrees of complexity in their behaviour patterns, 20-70 concurrent players (pretty few, but probably resource intensive) and several processes to govern things like weather, time of day, etc. All in all, perhaps upwards of 10 000 processes.. where most of them, admittedly, would have very low resource utilisation. Of course, strictly speaking inanimate items might also end up being modeled as processes.. and if so that number could rise to 15 000 in the above scenario. Thanks for all your help so far :) Johan

Our favorite Georgia peaches are back!
The episode kicks off with Porsha Stewart who is trying on dresses for Kordell's upcoming birthday.
Phaedra Parks stops by Kandi Burruss' new pad. They start talking about Nene Leakes' Shoe Dazzle party where Kenya Moore came dressed up as Phaedra. Phae-Phae tries to play it off like she wasn't bothered by the shade that Kenya was throwing. This idiot says she wasn't mad that Kenya came dressed up as her, she was more upset by the cheap Victoria's Secret panties Kenya was wearing. *Sigh* is it just me or is Phaedra getting more and more annoying as the season goes on?
Porsha is looking for a venue to host Kordell's birthday party and she brings her sister and her little niece along. They tour a mansion with a party planner and Porsha falls in love with the classic look of the house. During the tour, her niece starts cutting up and Porsha tries to calm her down but that baby was not feeling it. Was this really her niece or a child actor? That baby hated Porsha's guts! She almost threw her back out trying to get away from her!
Cynthia Bailey and her fierceness are at the Bailey Agency planning her new
Porsha tells Kordell about how she denied the Bailey Boys access into their home. Kordell is glad that Porsha "handled" that situation but she needs to "check it" with Cynthia. Um, check what? I'm confused. Kordell and his country bumpkin azz makes absolutely no sense every time he speaks. He will say about three words max and expect Porsha to fill in the blanks. I felt dumb as fawk after watching their entire exchange.
Kandi is in the studio (lawd, why?!) to record some new tracks. She's talking to the engineer and her manager Don Juan about how she's ready to work hard and crank out some hits! She also speaks about how she has gained weight and I'm glad she said it because I am beyond tired of looking at them hot links she packing on her neck.
Porsha and Cynthia meet at a bar and Porsha tells Cynthia about Kordell's birthday that she is planning. Cynthia decides this is a good time to bring up the pageant and she immediately fires Porsha and tells her she will no longer need her help. LMAO! How is this dumb broad gonna get fired from volunteering her services? Porsha didn't get any of the finished task that she requested from Porsha even though she purposely didn't give her a lot to do. Porsha is just upset that she needs to go back and tell Kordell she was given the boot from the pageant. I'm telling y'all, Kordell is her DADDY not her husband!
Kandi is in the studio talking about she wants to record a gospel album. Girl, bye! Aint nobody got time for you and your signing career! Stick to writing songs please, leave the vocals to Queen Bey.
It's the night of Kordell's birthday Porsha looks beautiful! I'm glad she picked the long formal dress it was the perfect fit for her. Kordell says this is his fortieth birthday and forty is a good age...for a man. God, this man makes me dislike him more and more every time he speaks! Cynthia feels obligated to show up to Kordell's party so she drags her hubby Peter along. Porsha is still pissed about getting fired from the pageant so things are a little tense between her and Cynthia.
High yellow elf eared Walter stops by the party by himself and everyone is like, "Where's Kenya?" and Walter has no idea because clearly, their fauxlationship is over. Kordell asks Cynthia if her relationship with Porsha is still cool. Cynthia tells him yes but inside, she means "hell no". Porsha joins the conversation, and Kordell goes off and tells the ladies they make him sick, and they need to make up because he says so! Wtf is up with this man? He has queen tendencies for real.
Kenya is back at the doctor's office and the doctor is telling her that stress can contribute to cancer and Kenya says "I know where the stress is coming from". Omg, if this delusional broad don't stop with this mess! Why is she still pretending that Walter was her man? Any stress caused by her fauxlationship was from her own doing! Anyway, the doctor gives the results and Kenya is cancer free! Woohoo!
This week's episode was dryer than a pack of beauty supply weave. Where the hell was Nene? Bravo better not be phasing her out of the show! I live for her blonde bouffant and Incredible Hulk stature!
What did you think of this week's episode of Real Housewives of Atlanta?

Children's Privacy Violations Lead to $1 Million Penalty
December 17, 2008
On December 11, 2008, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) announced the settlement of a case it filed the day before against Sony BMG Music Entertainment alleging violations of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). COPPA regulates the online collection, use, and disclosure of personal information from children under 13 years of age and applies to websites that have actual knowledge that they have collected information from children or websites that are directed at children. In announcing the settlement, Sony BMG agreed to pay a fine of $1 million and implement various compliance measures. The result demonstrates the FTC's continuing attention to protecting consumers, especially children, online.
COPPA Allegations
The settlement came shortly after the government filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York alleging that the company had collected, used, and disclosed personal information from children in violation of COPPA. The suit alleged that Sony BMG, which operates over 1,100 music-related websites, collected personal information from at least 30,000 children in violation of COPPA. According to the government, these sites include information about artists that are popular with children and teenagers. According to the complaint, Sony BMG allowed children who disclosed that they were under 13 to register and use its websites without providing notice to parents or obtaining their consent. The government specifically alleged that Sony BMG had:
- failed to provide required notice to parents of its information practices;
- failed to obtain verifiable consent from parents prior to collecting, using, and disclosing personal information from children; and
- failed to provide parents with reasonable means to review collected personal information and to refuse to permit further use and collection of, and to require deletion of, personal information regarding their children.
Settlement Includes Penalty, Mandatory Compliance and Reporting, Consumer Education, and Deletion of Collected Information
The government sought and received several different kinds of relief in the settlement. In addition to the $1 million civil penalty for alleged unfair and deceptive trade practices, Sony BMG agreed to refrain from any further violations of COPPA. Sony BMG also agreed for a period of five years to implement several compliance measures directly aimed at consumer education, including:
- providing direct notice to parents of privacy practices relating to children;
- providing notice in website privacy policies of information practices relating to children and at all points where such information is collected on such websites; and
- making certain the content of the websites includes links to specific FTC educational materials regarding protecting children on online social networks and elsewhere online.
Beyond making information available to parents, the settlement also requires Sony BMG to implement a specific COPPA compliance program. This program requires distribution of COPPA compliance-related materials, including an FTC guide on the subject, to all relevant individuals responsible for implementing the settlement and administering the websites. Sony BMG further is required to document the distribution and receipt of such materials by relevant personnel, to maintain records demonstrating COPPA compliance, and to prepare periodic reports as requested by the FTC that document and illustrate the steps taken by Sony BMG to ensure compliance.
Lastly, the settlement requires the company to delete any and all personal information collected from children in violation of COPPA.
The lawsuit and its settlement are important for businesses that operate websites and organizations that may work with such businesses. In particular, the settlement draws continuing attention to the government's willingness to aggressively prosecute companies that have actual knowledge that they collected information from children under 13 without ensuring COPPA compliance.
Sony BMG's terms and privacy policies allegedly prohibited kids under 13 from participating. However, the government alleged that children still did participate in activities on the websites and provided personal information through the websites. The FTC used its authority under Section 5 of its governing statute to pursue the company's practices on the basis that they were unfair and deceptive. The government contended that these practices were deceptive because the company said that it did not allow children under 13 to participate and yet it did in fact accept registrations from children who entered a date of birth indicating that they were under 13 without obtaining parental consent.
The Sony BMG case, coupled with a similar enforcement action against website operator Xanga, shows a willingness on the part of the FTC to aggressively hold operators responsible for what actually occurs on their websites. These two enforcement actions suggest that disclaiming responsibility for and prohibiting participation by children solely through website terms and conditions could be problematic for some website operators. The case is also very similar to a COPPA enforcement action against UMG Recordings, Inc., in 2004, in which UMG paid a $400,000 fine and agreed to similar compliance measures based on allegations of actual knowledge of underage use on general-audience websites, as well as alleged violations based on operation of a music website directed at children.
The Sony BMG lawsuit signals the continuing importance of "actual knowledge" in COPPA enforcement. The websites at issue were not alleged to be directed at children. Therefore, the violations resulted from the government's imputation that the websites knew that they had collected information from children under 13, by accepting registrations from children who entered a date of birth indicating that they were under 13.
The settlement highlights the ongoing importance and complications associated with the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information online by website operators, especially where children are involved. While most website operators now have policies posted on their websites that govern data collection and usage, the Sony BMG case suggests the value of periodically reviewing practices to evaluate how such policies are implemented, including training and assessment of compliance.
The FTC considers the online privacy of children one of its top priorities and, as this prosecution and settlement show, the agency seems intent on actively policing this area of privacy.

This is a holiday resort which we sneakily squeeze in. The name of the place can be broken down as Tit I See which only someone as cheeky as Gajana can realise. The place is full of snow which is first for me to see at this time of the year. The temperature did not feel as cold as Hamburg though although the presence of snow can indicate otherwise.
There were many stores selling their antique Cuckoo Clocks but most of them came from the same factory. Although it is hand made and mechanical, the similar designs made it looked like it came out of a manufacturing line with no uniqueness. I came with the mindset of getting one but after viewing how common and alike they were, I decided not to get them. A mechanical clock can cost from Euro 99 up to 400 depending on the size and the supporting mechanisms.
Here are some further snapshots I manage to harvest courtesy of Joe's camera:

The appointment of Arora, a 1980-batch IAS officer of Rajasthan cadre and presently Secretary Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, comes at a time when the I&B ministry is in the midst of several important activities including the e-auctions of Phase III FM radio stations and Phase III and IV of Digitisation.
The ministry has also been under fire over the two-month- old impasse at the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII) where students are demanding removal of Gajendra Chauhan as the institute's chairman.
Earlier, Arora has also functioned as the CMD of Air India.

Stem Cell Therapy for Eyes Gets Approval
Europe has approved the Western world's first medicine containing stem cells for people who have suffered injuries caused by burns to the eye. Source: Health24
(BRUSSELS, Belgium) — People who have suffered eye injuries caused by solvents, acids, abrasive and chemical agents will have new treatment available.
Europe has approved the Western world's first medicine containing stem cells to treat a rare condition caused by burns to the eye, marking a milestone in the use of the technology.
Holoclar, from privately held Italian company Chiesi, was given a marketing green light on Friday by the European Commission for treating so-called limbal stem cell deficiency due to physical or chemical burns. Left untreated, the condition can result in blindness.
The stem-cell therapy is a living-tissue product. It resembles a contact lens and is made from a biopsy taken from a small undamaged area of a patient's cornea and grown in the laboratory using cell culture.

In various pubs/hotels, the enquirer was refused a pint glass with a handle, and told they are now illegal, due to health and safety. Subsequently, served with them in other pubs and bars.
There is no occupational health and safety law preventing the use of glasses with handles. Health and safety should not be used an excuse to justify decisions made for other reasons and the pub in question should be challenged to explain the real reason for no longer offering glasses with handles.

The Death of Proof
Bare Witness
Mudd, whose government name is Reginald Moorer, was one of three people that accompanied Deshaun "Proof" Holton to the CCC the night of his death. On the condition of anonymity, Mudd spoke to XXL in the July 2006 issue about what happened that tragic night at the CCC club. The investigation is still ongoing. After several months, Mudd has decided to come forward to tell the entire story about the night that went horribly wrong, resulting in the death of two men, his gun, and the testimony he gave in court this week.
Mudd's friendship with Proof dates back 15 years to an Osborn High School lunch table. He was a freshman at Osborn when he met Proof, who was a senior at the time. A few years later, Mudd joined a group with Proof and another rapper, Thyme, called 5-Elementz (5ElA). The group gained notoriety around Detroit in the mid '90s. They all worked at Maurice Malone's Hip Hop Shop and— with the support of Malone—moved to New York in search of a record deal. Proof ultimately left the group to join Eminem on the road. After a falling out, Proof and Mudd smoothed out their differences in 2004, and the two frequently hung out when Proof was in Detroit. Mudd raps on Proof's Searching for Jerry Garcia. Here is his story.
What was your relationship with Proof like most recently?
It was like five years of catching up on all the experiences he had been through. It was still the big brother/little brother type relationship. We had a routine: Wild Woody's on Wednesday, Tuesday was Northern Lites, Mondays we would hang at a titty bar call Jon-Jon's, Saturday was the State Theater. If I wanted to see him or find him, I knew where to go. We would play pool at Bookies.
In the last few months before his death, was there anything different about Proof?
It was different. He was starting to get more focused. He had stopped all the pills and weed smoking. Before, we were deep into metaphysics. Anything that he was doing, he was fully aware of the concepts. Proof [was] not only a very intelligent person, he was very spiritual as well.

Darkwatch is an "horror" FPS about an outlaw who is turned into a vampire. The game was published by Capcom and developed by High Moon Studios (formerly Sammy Studios) in the USA, while in Europe it was published by Ubisoft. The game follows the exploits of Jericho Cross, an outlaw-turned-vampire, and his employment in the titular organization, an ancient vampire-hunting order known as The Darkwatch. [Info from Wikipedia]
In the video below you can see an early prototype scene demo, in wich (other than the incomplete graphic and animations) we can notice how the main character (Jericho) had a different design than the one used in the final game. If you find more differences, please let us know!
Here's the final Jericho model to compare it with the proto video:

It has been the most popular debate of all times, especially recently as the world has become more fast-paced; with creativity gaining laudability and encouragement on all platforms.
To support this debate, many scientific research undergone, with creativity and creative thinking held subjective to being an inherited trait or an acquired skill. While the popular opinion remains that creativity is a blend of some of the inborn skills and being intentional, many research concluded it be more inclined towards being genetically inherited.
Creativity can be described to be characterized as a blend of genetics, environmental impact and influence, and application of schooled skills. With every individual inherently creative in one way or the other, the question still remains that how much of the creativity we possess or the creativity we exhibit, can be held attributable to nature and how much of it is hardwired in our genes.
Many scientific and creative communities have had this argument about the unavailability of any hardcore evidence to come to a unanimous decision about where creativity really stems from. Many of them have drawn rather distinguished perspectives in turn to spot and address the contrasting facets of the creativity conundrum. Numerous figures of creative geniuses have elapsed in numerous civilisations forward since the beginning of time. Scientists from different countries insist that to a great extent, creativity is determined by our DNA greater than the creativity we acquired by skills learnt.
One recent study conducted in PLoS ONE, observed the musical creativity of participants based on their ability to gauge pitch and time, along with several vital skills of composing the music, while improvising and arranging it. This study of genetics the participants, scientists were able to conclude that it was the presence of certain genes in few participants that directly correlated with musical creativity; making some of them perform better than the rest.
This cluster of genes, associated with a gene family involved in the plasticity of the brain, making it responsible for the brain's ability to break and form new connections between cells within the brain.
Creativity still finds itself largely about divergent thinking, describing such notions and thought processes that assist in the generation of creative ideas through exploration of many possible methods. Thinking out the box as we like to call it.
With no reliable or proven conclusions made on any of the researches so far, it is safe to say that creativity is a result of both inborn and schooled skills. It could be a genetic phenomenon and the skills acquired through hours of practice at the same time to perfect your level of creativity.
Take the example of a painter who through his whirling carousel of creativity produces wonderful painting. Or look at the achievements of a scientist or a mathematician, who produce their own formulas, often innovative in their own right, and not simply on the output but the innate ability to tap into the neurological potential for creativity and give it a doorway into our world through consistent application. Creativity is something we all have, learn, and potentially unlearn at various stages of our journey in life because of the boundaries that we learn to restrict on our thought processes which in turn hinders our ability to be creative.

"They spend all their health making money and then spend all their money restoring their health"
Fred Soyka spent 12 years in Geneva, Switzerland working for an American based company. A good part of that time he was physically and emotionally miserable until a doctor suggested there was "something electrical about the air" that might be making him ill and morose. That remark set Soyka on an odyssey of discovery to find out what science has learned about ions and their effect on humanity.
Click on the links below to read excerpts from "The Ion Effect"
If you read this book, you would immediately buy at least 3 Ionizers: One for home, one for work, and one for the car. We have become a generation of "pill-poppers" choosing to fill our bodies full of chemicals every day rather than dealing with the cause of our ailments.

Ventilator care in the home setting can often be complex and present unique challenges. A skilled nurse is required to ensure that adequate breathing is taking place to maintain the patient's life. These nurses require specified knowledge and experience with the latest in medical technology. They also need to be able to work with patients and their families to provide the optimal outcome for a patient with a ventilator.
It is not uncommon for children to need ventilator care in the home, but this presents unique challenges, such as being able to provide an environment to nurture growth, development and socialization. Home care nurses can accompany children using ventilators to school and other activities. The role of the nurse is to give the child the most normal life possible.

Soweto is a sprawling township, or more accurately, a cluster of townships on the south-western flank of Johannesburg. Soweto was created in the 1930s, with Orlando the first township established. In the 1950s, more black people were relocated there from "black spots" in the inner city- black neighborhoods which the apartheid government had reserved for whites.
With a population of over 2 million, the township is the biggest black urban settlement in Africa with a rich political history. Soweto was the centre of political campaigns aimed at the overthrow of the apartheid state. The 1976 student uprising started in Soweto and spread to the rest of the country. Many of the sights on this route therefore have political significance. From the footbridge of the Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital, the largest on the continent, one can get a panoramic view of Soweto.
Visit the Hector Pieterson Museum in Orlands West, Soweto, built in memory of the poeple who died that day, 16 June 1976. Nelson Mandela's humble little house in Orlandao West, Soweto, now called the Mandela Family Museum, is an interesting stopover for those keen to imbibe a slice of authentic history on the world's most famous former prisoner. The museum, a house comprising four inter-leading rooms, contains a rather eclectic assortment of memorabilia, paintings and photographs of the Mandela family as well as a collection of honorary doctorates bestowed on Nelson Mandela from universities and institutions around the world.
You can also have a glimpse of the mansion belonging to Winnie Madikizela-Mandela in an affluent part of Orlando West. Archbishop Desmond Tutu's house and the Sisulu residences are in the same neighborhood.

The nose has powerful aromas of red fruit such as cherry and blackberry. A second nose reveals more mature flavors coming forward, with black pepper, caramel, dry herbs, tobacco and toasted oak. Even with fresh fruit flavors in the very beginning, this wine becomes dense and robust in the mid-palate. Layers of tannins pave the way to an attractive and elegant finish.
This extremely well balanced wine offers many pairing options, such as ham, roasted turkey, chicken, roast beef or grilled Ribeye steak. Try it with the featured recipe: Savory Herb Roasted Turkey.

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – U.S. Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, and the U.S. Secretary of the Interior, Ken Salazar, were among the officials in Brazil early this week to continue bilateral talks. Secretary Clinton was previously at the Sixth Summit of the Americas in Colombia from April 13-15th, before traveling to Brasilia April 16-17th to lead the U.S. delegation for the third U.S.-Brazil Global Partnership Dialogue.
On April 17th, Secretary Clinton provided opening remarks with Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff at the First Annual High-Level Meeting of the Open Government Partnership (OGP).
Launched on September 20th 2011, the OGP is an international initiative aimed at developing concrete commitments to prevent corruption, promote transparency, and harness new technologies to empower citizens and make government more open and accountable.
The goal of this dialogue is to build upon the agreements the United States and Brazil reached during President Obama's visit to Brazil in 2011 and President Rousseff's visit to the United States on April 9th and 10th, 2012.
More than 800 representatives from over sixty countries and more than 200 civil society organizations, came together for the two day meeting to showcase their commitment to open government, and to share experiences and examples of best practice.
Jorge Hage, the Brazilian Minister of State, said, "Open government means sharing responsibilities with civil society and strengthening democracy. Real democracy is not simply about having periodic elections, but making governments more accountable and transparent to citizens throughout their period in office."
Clinton's right-hand-woman, U.S. Under-Secretary of State, Maria Otero, said, "Governments, civil society organizations and businesses are coming together to demonstrate how openness is fast becoming the most powerful tool for improving service delivery and effectiveness in the 21st Century."
The issues discussed over the two-day visit ranged from education, and science and technology, to social inclusion and human rights. Yet even with the activity surrounding the OGP, business and trade was at the forefront of many minds.
Peter Hakim, president emeritus of the Inter-American Dialogue, an organization of policy experts in Washington, D.C. remarks: "This trip [appears] rather anomalous in that Hillary Clinton focuses like a laser on business issues and opportunities — promoting bilateral tax and investment treaties, making a major speech to Brazil's leading business group, meeting with the new head of Petrobras, emphasizing innovation as the core of the relationship."
"I applaud all this because I do think that economics should be the core of U.S. relations with Latin America in general and Brazil particularly … But where was the the economic cabinet of Obama[?]" Hakim questions.
U.S. Secretary of the Interior, Ken Salazar was in Brasília on Monday, April 16th as well, to promote tourism in the U.S. and discuss the minimization of visa requirements between the two countries.
From January to March of this year, 296,637 visas to the U.S. have been processed in Brazil, an increase of 56 percent from the year before. Still Salazar said, "We want to continue working to attract and make it easier for Brazilians to come to the U.S."
To this end, strategies employed by the U.S. include opening two new consulates in Brazil (in Porto Alegre and Belo Horizonte); slashing visa processing times by as much as 98.5 percent, from 130 days to two days in some places; and the signing of an Aviation Partnership, which will see flights between the two countries increased.

Reviewby Theron Martin,
Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki OAV 3
With the trouble with Z and Misao brought to a conclusion, it's time to pass judgment on Misao and Mashishu. It's also time for Yosho and Noboyuki to deal with a matter they have long put off: they must finally explain to Tenchi the circumstances of his mother's death, and it's something Tenchi cannot easily accept.
Meanwhile, wedding bells ring in the air, but who are they for???
The mystery of what, exactly, happened to Tenchi's mother, which has lingered for more than a decade, is finally resolved, and the truth is something no fan will expect. Whatever you think you may have figured out, whatever you think you know about the franchise, you won't see this revelation coming any more than Tenchi does. The audacity of it is astounding.
It's also quite entertaining stuff, albeit in a somewhat perverse way.
After suffering through the vastly disappointing episodes 4-6, fans of the franchise will be pleased to know that the final episode returns to Tenchi's comedic roots, and in doing so recaptures at least some of the charm that made the earlier Tenchi material so enjoyable. Although it contains some dramatic content, episode 7 is packed with surprises, twists and turns, and plot development, but mostly a good amount of laughs. Nowhere near everything is resolved – in fact, the content actually sets up new potential story leads – but at least it is entertaining and keeps everyone except the goddess Tokimi (who shows that she can also be goofy) consistent with established behavioral patterns. Since this is only a half-hour episode, many key characters get very little attention, including Sasami and Ryo-Ohki, but you can't have everything.
What is dealt with here is not for the casual fan, though. Very extensive familiarity with previous Tenchi material is assumed, and anyone lacking it will be hard-pressed to understand much of anything about what's going on. Don't watch this one if you haven't, at the very least, seen all of the original OVA series and the earlier episodes of the recent one. Having seen Tenchi Muyo! GXP first is also helpful, as it is extensively referred to in the Extras.
The artistry in the regular episode maintains the standard set earlier in the OVA series: good but not great background art, constant stylistic elements, and character designs which favor prominent noses and ears. The only new design of note is Tokimi's chibi form, which is laughably ridiculous and cutesy compared to her normal ominously grand form. The artistry in the Radio Drama is crude by comparison. The animation takes major short-cuts by resorting to still images and panning scenes in one place, and there isn't much action here to truly exploit the animation, but it's good where present.
The musical score this time around is more effective at setting tone and mood and supporting the events of the series, although it is still not one of the stronger points of the series. The boorish opener remains, as does the cutesy closer. English dub casting and performances remain consistent with those established in previous Tenchi releases. As in previous episodes, the English script still takes major liberties with the translation, which sometimes has characters saying completely different things in English compared to Japanese. Also completely lost in the translation is the use of honorifics, which establish more firmly the various degrees of relationships between the characters, but that wouldn't have translated well anyway.
Although only one 30-minute episode is present on this volume, the 30-minute "Radio Drama" in the Extras makes up for it by offering a collection of five short comedy vignettes composed of narrated still images. Content ranges from an unfortunately distorted email to disastrous cooking efforts to Ayeka trying to deal with Tenchi's fly being open, and all are terribly funny. The other main extra is the 40-minute live-action special "Tenchi Muyo! Entertainment/Secret Pot" hosted by Tomoko Kaneda and Etsuko Kozakura, the seiyuu for Fuku and Ryo-Ohki, respectively. It is a silly collection of series clips (mostly from GXP) mixed with gag bits used to explain various concepts in the Tenchi universe. Also included is some full-spread interior cover art and FUNimation's standard practice of allowing viewers to shift between English and Japanese credits in the opener and closer using the Angle button on a remote. This volume can also be purchased with a nice collector's tin which features bonus cover art and is large enough to contain all three DVDs.
If you're a long-time Tenchi fan then the final volume of the Ryo-Ohki OVA 3 series is a must-have, and the version with the collector's tin is recommended. It's hardly a wrap-up for the franchise but does provide some solid entertainment value and deals with one of the longest-standing mysteries in the franchise. Others should regard this one as a kind of advanced course, something that should only be viewed after thoroughly familiarizing yourself with previous Tenchi material.

Since 1965 Lance has been building America's most popular truck campers. And today, many of them are still on the road – a true testament to the company's philosophy that Quality Comes First. Now Lance is making its mark with travel trailers that are the new towable of choice.
Based in California – the nation's most demanding state for building safe products – Lance manufactures from a State-of-the-Art Production Facility – a 141,000 square foot, 22 acre campus – campus because Lance continues to learn from its dealers and from every single customer who provides ongoing feedback for improvement and new product design.
Ideas born from this process include LanceLock™, the use of Azdel™, Lite-Ply™ and the removal of all Mercury making for an eco-friendly, toxin-free RV. These are just a few of the examples of how Lance uses advanced engineering that contributes to a quality product.
For the last decade, Lance has won the prestigious DSI Award (Dealer Satisfaction Index) for quality almost every year. They are also rated Best in Owner Satisfaction by their customers who are often repeat buyers and a source of referrals for new customers. And recently, Consumers Digest awarded the entire Lance line their highest rating.

Many writers work so hard and yet produce very little that is conducive to bring about
their writing goals. I know I have struggled with that this past year myself. I found an
article on the Kristi Holl blog today that is so helpful that I thought I would include it
as part of my blog. It is at: http://institutechildrenslit.net/Writers-First-Aid-blog.
I encourage to visit Kristi Holl for more information on this blog and others as well.
She is such a wealth of information.
After reading this piece, decide whether you are an efficient or an effective writer or
Effective or Efficient
By Kristi Holl
January 4th, 2010
Before making my list of writing goals for 2010, I did some serious evaluating last
month to try to discover why I had accomplished so much less than I"d hoped in
2009. I had worked harder and longer hours, doing my best to be efficient.
Even so, I wasn't effective in many areas where I had set goals. I either failed totally
or accomplished just a fraction of what I had intended. Why hadn't I been effective? I
was practically the most efficient person I knew!
They Aren't the Same!
Effectiveness is doing the things that get you closer to your goals.
Efficiency is performing a given task (whether important or not) in the most
economical manner possible.
Most of us work hard to be efficient in our lives just to stay on top of ever-
lengthening To Do lists. And efficiency is good when it's applied to the right
things, the important things. It's absolutely useless if it's not.
Important vs. Unimportant
How do you decide which tasks are important to moving toward your writing goals?
It all depends on what your ultimate goals are. Is your main goal to write books,
perhaps even make a living at it? Is your writing goal to land a staff position on a big
city newspaper? Do you want to bring your writing skills up several notches in 2010?
Once you know your over-all dreams, then look at your To Do list with a more
critical eye. Which things on the list support your goal? Those are the important jobs.
Which things if done later, done quickly, or (gasp!) left undone wouldn't affect
your goals at all? Those are the unimportant tasks.
Take a Step Back
Sometimes we are so close to our To Do lists that we can't see the forest for the trees.
We don"t see that doing something unimportant really well doesn't make it
important. (I'm an excellent email organizer, for example, with all kinds of folders
and tags and categories. I have the most organized unnecessary and unwanted email
you ever saw.)
Also, just because a task would require a lot of time to accomplish doesn't make it
important either. (The email query to the editor might take you an hour. Reorganizing
your writing closet will take four hours. Only querying will get you that coveted
assignment making it the most important task nine times out of ten.)
Effectiveness Trumps Efficiency
Yes, it's great to be efficient, but to repeat myself, it's only helpful when you are
being effective. For example, if you want to lose the holiday pounds you added,
which supports your goal the best efficiently organizing your recipe files or going
for a power walk?
If you want to finish your first novel, which action supports your goal tearing
articles from your writing magazines to file, or sweating over that first chapter?
Are You Effective or Just Busy?
You want to make the most of your time available. I don't know what your 'efficient
time wasters' are, but you probably do. I'll be talking more about this in the weeks
and months to come as I cast a cold, unrelenting eye on each item on my list and
weed out some activities that look good or that "everyone" says you have to do.
What's the deciding factor? It's this: Will it take me closer to my goals in some
measurable way? Good! If not, it gets pushed to the bottom of the list. I may get to it
later or never!

After seeing the carbon fiber Honda Z600 that wowed the JCCS crowd over the weekend, we wondered – out loud and to the dismay/puzzlement of other post office patrons waiting in line with us – what is the fastest Honda Z600 the world has to offer?
First, we have "Evil Tweety," holder of the J/Pro record at the Bonneville Salt Flats with a 99.299 mph run, though its fastest time clocked is 101.5 mph. According to its owner, it retains its naturally aspirated air-cooled 2-cylinder underhood, albeit stroked to 700cc with Electromotive fuel injection, open exhaust, very high compression and a mild racing cam. Ladies and gentlemen, Evil Tweety.
Next up, courtesy of the Gebrüder Dorsch blog, a German entrant that appears to have a jet engine protruding from das boot. We turn to Babelfish to discover that, "These vehicles do hurt… One should possibly drastic penalties, when people of such cultural goods to make a mistake." We think this means the Brothers Dorsch disapprove of the butchered Z600's ersatz motor. They continue: "The poor little Honda Z600 a jet engine in the ****." We would have to agree that jet engines in the **** should be strictly verboten. We imagine that any attempt at turning during full throttle in this thing would be as well.
Finally, we have the latest Frankensteinian Z600, the one that started this pointless line of questioning, a full-on race car built for solo B-mod with a Suzuki Hayabusa motorcycle engine mounted between the front and rear axles, precisely in the driver's right ear. And when you're rebodying the entire car in carbon fiber, why not go with the widest widebody you can fit wheels under? This also gets bonus points for looking terrifying.
Well, we have no idea which one is fastest, but all of them are probably plenty scary, so we put the question to you, dear reader, how would you rather face death?
1.) Hurtling across the remains of an Ice Age lake ensconced in a 37-year old sheet of tin.
2.) Going warp speed in a home-built jet car that, despite its German engineering, is probably one-use-only.
3.) Snapping your neck with a quick flick of the steering wheel in something possessing the power-to-weight ratio of an electron.
Sound off in the comments.

You need to hit the stop in both the CW and CCW directions in order to compute True TDC. Both are mentioned above.
Here is a step by step example with numbers:
1. Rough eyeball TDC before adding stop.
2. Move degree wheel/pointer to zero and lock down on balancer.
3. Rotate crank roughly 20* CW and install stop, making sure the bolt just touches the top of the piston.
4. Rotate crank 300+* CW (Yes CW again)
until you hit the stop.
Lets say it stops at 338*. This is your first real measurement so write it down.
5. Next rotate crank CCW
until it hits the stop.
Lets say that it now reads 16*. Write it down as your 2nd measurement location. From these two values you can now calculate True TDC.
6. First subtract 338 from 360 (TDC= 0/360), which gives you 22*. This gives you the value from TDC that you found when going CW.
7. Add that value to the value that you found when going CCW. 22+16=38.
8. Now take the 38 that you just computed and divide by 2, which gives 19.
9. Subtract that from the value that you found when rotating CCW. 16 -19 =-3. Since it is a neqative #, you will need to subtract that 3 from 360. That will equate to 357* on your degree wheel.
10. 357* is where True TDC is currently found on your degree wheel.
At that point the piston will be at its highest point in the bore.
11. Remove stop and rotate crank to 357*.
12. Carefully loosen degree wheel from crank and rotate the wheel to "0" and lock it down.
You now have the motor and degree wheel both aligned to TDC.
Truth be told, you can also use your dial indicator method to find TDC if you want to and work with that. It will not be as accurate as to what I am trying to portray to you, but unless you are using an infinitely adjustable timing set like this (which lets you set the cam timing up perfectly):
Specifically note the slots (under the 6 bolts) that allow adjustment on the upper cam gear.
If you are using the simpler multi key version without the slots, you will at least be in the ball park.

Well said Dennis, and I know it's much harder to describe the process, than to do it. I found TDC my first time in 1980 with my first Cleveland engine. A friend helped me and he was about 31 and had only built two engines before.
Back then we didn't have all the amazing aftermarket parts. Learning everything about balancing and blue printing an engine was a big factor to gaining any decent power over stock. Back then a 351 making 450hp was very very special. Now it's easy and 500-600hp is not a big deal.
To jetski247, don't become too worried about absolute perfect cam timing. The normal timing chains should get it within 2-3 degrees of where the timing design is made for(machining tolerances of the cam). So those decent timing sets costing $50 or so are very good choices, unless you have to have the last hp possible(the cam is custom made for that combo and needs to be perfect). The high end timing sets to get it closer to perfect, they cost a lot more. So decide based on your combination and how near maximum power you want it to get for the budget, select the timing set that makes the most sense. A $6k engine should have a very good timing set, a $1k engine shouldn't need it.
1991 Mark VII LSC Special Edition, soon to be OBDII and 4R70W, then GTC body kit and 347.
1998 Mountaineer, plans for A4WD and KB 2200 blower later, XP8 parts, paint and a 332.
1973 Ranchero and 72 Sport front end ...will be a 351 Clevor, EFI and 4R70W.

well said and thank you very much.
i understand this engine is a dot to dot engine but would like to practice while i have it on the stand. not really looking for any hidden hp...(stock engine lol) but would like to grasp the concept. the engine that is coming out will be a full stroker rebuild for sure
thanks again Dennis and CDW. those are the answer's i was looking for. and im assuming the computer will correct for not near perfect timing and wear and tear so the need to find true tdc or even counter adjust for future wear is not really needed in a computer controlled engine.??? i guess?
learning a new way to find tdc is for sure a......lol......... learning curve
all these years using a dial indicator to find tdc and i see all these piston stop stuff.....and im like wtf?
it was hard to grasp at first, i was like, who in the hell would use a piston stop to know where tdc is? i was always taught to watch the dial indicator when its stops and just starts to turn the other way after removing any slop and spin the engine over a few times first. that is how i always built any and all engines where i really really needed to know tdc like a rotary valve two stroke which even then gives you a 10 degree allowance or range.
but building 1.6L 450hp inline three cylinders.......everything and i mean everything has to be right on the money and tripple checked.......and ive always used a dial indicator but those are way way different engines. i would have never even known about a piston stop.....its always been dial indicator.
anyway, if time allows, im going to "try and degree" this stock cam on number one and see what variance of a grind i got, more less for knowledge than anything, and if i ever get to the day i build some romping 500+ hp stroker, i'll know what im going.
thanks again guys, i'll post up pics of what i got in a few days, kids are off for spring break and im off of work to spend with them, if i get a chance i'll be posting back with a whole bunch of " what do you do when this happens" kind of questions. for the mean time, engine is wrapped up at work stuffed in the corner until i return.
I'll take a 2 stroke over 4 any day......
it aint an engine unless it requires a mix drink to run
Man is smart............People are stupid.....
