No matter how often you watch Mad Men, it ain't always booze, sex and cigarettes when it comes to advertising because of the brain numb clients. They always have ridiculous requests like making the Vikings nicer or making the logo bigger. It's hilarious what they ask for.
These posters, made by graphic designers in Ireland, show the requests visually. It's part of an exhibit that ran this month. Here are some funny ones:

By the time 2011 comes to a close we will have seen five big budget superhero movies, and right now none is more promising than "Captain America: The First Avenger."
The new poster for "Captain America" is simple enough, but the look of his outfit, the grit, the leather, Chris Evans' solemn face, are all pitch perfect. Yes, we still have doubts about the 3D, and Joe Johnston needs to redeem himself after "The Wolfman," but this one still stands head and shoulders above the others.
"The Green Hornet" left us underwhelmed, as it traded on the hero's name without really living up to his legend. As much as we liked the first pics of Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker and Spider-man, the guys over at Collider express some legitimate concerns about Spidey's outfit, in particular "his rotted codpiece." We still think Garfield's easily the best actor of the 2011 hero litter, but our faith is a little shaken.
U.S. & World
And speaking of codpieces (or is it "codpie"?) Ryan Reynolds' Green Lantern outfit is a disaster, and the trailer isn't much better. The first pics of "Thor" are no more promising, as most of what we see of Chris Hemsworth in the trailer is the God of Thunder as a civilian--who is that fun for?
"X-Men: First Class" offers "Captain Marvel" the stiffest competition, with director Matthew Vaughn fresh off "Kick-Ass," and Michael Fassbender as Magneto, and a bunch of other talented folks among the world's mightiest mutants. But until they start showing us something, we have to reserve judgment.
The best part about the "Captain America" poster dropping is that it gets us even more amped for the trailer premiere this weekend (hint: it's during the "Super Bowl"), and it reminds us that at least Cap gets to be played by an actual American.

Killer Instinct in Women
It is estimated that only 10% of all murderers have been females. This is probably because women have a natural (probably hard wired) instinct to protect, care for, and nurture. How is it that some women have lost this instinct?
Severe child abuse, neglect, maternal rejection, and exposure to violence as a young child can interrupt the development of this instinct. It can delay the development of skills needed for appropriate social relationships including the maternal instinct for child care.
The ability to harm others comes from another path. When most of us harm others we can feel empathy for the person we have injured and remorse for our actions. Harming others makes us feel "bad." Thus, we are inhibited from purposefully taking an action to harm another person. We don't want to feel "bad," so we avoid harming others.
Additionally, empathy is at Stage III of moral development (ages 7 – 11, Kohlberg). If either trauma or a lack of opportunity for pro-social skill building takes place in this stage or earlier, empathy for others does not develop. Women who lack this skill and are not given the opportunity to develop it, are at risk to harm others, especially their own children.
Some propose that lesions in the prefrontal cortex of the brain cause lapses in judgment that result in "bad" behavior. In fact, Dr. Robert Hare, recently, has shown that psychopaths have poorer brain function resulting in an inferior capacity to reason, especially when it comes to activities that involve emotion. The source of this immature brain development has also been linked to severe, early childhood abuse and neglect.
So, if a woman lacks empathy and has poor judgment due to immature brain development, she is at even higher risk to harm others. So, if a woman with the skills and maturity of a 4 or 5 year old is trying to manage job, relationships, family responsibilities, and stress as an adult, the functioning of this person's system is going to fail.
The following women display some of the characteristics and family background traits described above. No diagnosis is made of any of the women discussed here and none is implied. The goal of this article is to understand the common precursors among women exhibiting antisocial behaviors in order to prevent their recurrence in others.
In the news:
- June 20, 2001. 36 year old Andrea Yates drowns her 5 small children. Mrs. Yates had a history of mental illness. She reported that she had thoughts of hurting her children for two years.
- Sept. 14, 2009. A Grant County, Washington woman confessed to a plot to kill her husband after years of alleged abuse. She allegedly asked her son to help get the pills and knife to help kill her husband.
- Westminster. Sept. 16, 2009. 38 year old Thuy Le confesses to attempting to stab her two small daughters to death and then attempting suicide.
Historical Figures
Elizabeth Bathory (April 24, 2007; Jeanne Marie Kerns) lived in 1600 Hungary. Raised by and married to family members steeped in traditions of black magic and cruelty, she became convinced that she could remain young by bathing in the blood of young women. She invited local women to her castle as servants, but then tortured, drained them of blood, and killed them. Six hundred bodies were found in her castle when she was finally discovered. Having gone completely insane, she spent the rest of her life alone, boarded up in her castle.
Myra Hindley lived her early life with her alcoholic and abusive father. She was eventually sent to live with her grandmother, but the damage to her psyche, social functioning, progress of coping skills, and brain maturity had been done. In her teen years, she did not do well in school and suffered the death of a close friend. As we all do, she needed to be close to someone.
Lacking the skills for a pro-social relationship, she became devoted to Ian Brady and his life of sadism, pornography and Nazi admiration. Lacking the skill to find satisfaction from a deep interpersonal relationship, they sought ever more excitement through the adrenalin rushes found in risky and horrifying behaviors.
Together, they sexually abused, tortured and killed 5 children and teens in the 1960′s and became known as the Moors Murderers of England. Like an addiction, each horrible act had to be followed by a more awful act to generate the same level of rush. Soon, nothing mattered but the "rush." Having no empathy or remorse, they recorded the pleas of at least one of the children as she was tortured. This was likely to re-experience the rush or high at a later time. Myra was finally captured by the police and received a life sentence. She died in jail.
Aileen Wuornos was rejected by her mother, who was also a child, her sex offender father, and her grandmother, who died when Aileen was in her early teens. She went on a killing spree from 1989 to 1990. She claimed self defense, but was convicted of murder. It is believed that she was psychopath and killed for pleasure and money. Again, it can be hypothesized that the addiction to the rush or the high of risky and horrific behavior substituted for the satisfaction most of us find in normal relationships.
Aileen did not have the capacity to find satisfaction in a normal relationship, so she substituted the "rush" for relationship. This was despite the fact that she had a superficial relationship with a young woman at that time.
Rosemary West's mother suffered from depression and received ECT while pregnant with her. Additionally, Rosemary's father sexually abused her. She was a moody teenager who did not do well in school. Rosemary married Mr. West and was a prostitute while her husband watched. They were arrested and released in 1973 when a victim escaped. Her father was a frequent prostitution customer. Additionally, Rosemary had 8 children, one of whom she killed.
Rosemary West and her husband tortured and killed 12 women between the years of 1973 and 1979. The skeletal remains of the couple's victims were found under their house in 1994 and she was convicted of 10 counts of murder. Her husband committed suicide in jail before his trial. The motive appeared to be one of sadomasochism mixed with sexual deviance. Neither Mr. nor Mrs. West were capable of a normal, mature relationship with any level of satisfaction or depth. Their chaotic upbringing did not allow the development of that capacity.
Yet, all of us have the need to connect with another. When one has the need, but lacks the skill to fulfill the need, a person looks in strange places to find satisfaction. Deviant activities, lead to further deviant activities, but never lead to true social satisfaction and human relationship. Lacking in this, the horror goes on.
Many female murderers had histories of chaotic upbringing, rejecting, substance abusing, or absent mothers, or sexual abuse. This injury to the early attachment bonds cannot be underestimated. It delayed social and personal development to the extent that they were unable to cope with everyday life. In the never ending search for connectedness and belonging, they found the "thrill" of risk, deviance and the adrenaline rush. Their lack of empathy and remorse allowed them to harm others in their addiction to the next bigger "rush." Only incarceration could stop them, as they could not stop themselves.
It is too difficult to stop the out of control train going 500 miles an hour down the hill. We must make the train with sufficient brakes and mechanism to maneuver the tracks safely.
How do we restructure a safer train with good brakes and controls? We must see that families have the capacity to adequately care for their children and help them grow up in healthy ways. When parents have been raised in chaos, they lack skills to provide this for their children and must have someone provide it for them. Intergenerational violence and neglect, then, must be stopped at its roots by strengthening and supporting families that need maintenance and skills.
Sometimes children must be removed from extremely abusive, violent and neglectful homes, but supporting the families with services can be tried first. When children are well cared for, they are able to develop skills in a normal progression, including empathy, reasoning, logic, social relatedness, and coping. This is the path for preventing future violence among women.
We've all experienced the shock of watching stories like these on TV, but have you ever wondered why some seemingly ordinary people commit violent crimes? Would you be amazed to know that many of them could have been predicted and prevented if someone had seen the warning signs and intervened before it was too late? Would you like to know how you can protect your children from becoming either the victims or perpetrators of a violent crime? Do you need some way to measure youth violence risk?

Grand Central
- 50% off
- Only on the App
- Adams Morgan
- American (Traditional), Bars
Perhaps the greatest invention of all time was created in Grand Central's kitchen. Ladies and gents, meet (and eat) the concept of funnel fries. It's basically funnel cake in an easier-to-inhale form.It might be embarrassing to acknowledge now, but when we were kids, we were sure Buffalo wings were made from the eponymous mammal. Well, we've come a long way since then, and not only do we now understand Buffalo wings to be one of the tastiest preparations of chicken, but we also know a place to get them made the way they were intended, when they were invented however many years ago in Buffalo, NY. And that's at Grand Central, located in Adams Morgan. There, not only can we purchase plates of wings, but we can get another Buffalo favorite, the Beef on Weck sandwich.
"It's a Buffalo classic," said Grand Central's head decision-maker, Brian. "It's thinly sliced roast beef served on a specialty roll called a Kimmelweck and dipped in au jus." It's still finding its permanent place on the menu, but if you're passionate about your sandwiches, you can get it whether it's on the daily specials or not. Just ask. These Buffalo fans will know. And with more than a handful of flat-screen TVs decorating the walls, there's plenty of chances to cheer on the home team (any team from Buffalo, of course).
"We have every sports package you can imagine," Brian said. Most impressively, though, is dessert. Don't miss the funnel fries, which is basically funnel cake in an easier-to-inhale form! Score.

Yesterday's "Dear Abby" column featured "Good dad in Cleveland," who's seeking advice on what to do with his eight-year-old son, understandably driven to animal abuse by the frustrations of being a Cleveland sports fan. Little Junior loves sports, you see, but "he has trouble accepting a loss. He'll take out his disappointment by beating the dog."
Holy shit. Now, I'm not a behavioral psychologist, but neither is Dear Abby. It sounds like Junior has problems that go far beyond the capabilities of a nationally syndicated advice columnist. If Patches could talk, Patches would beg you for people food, then beg you to do something about the little monster in your living room being hatched by Randy Lerner. Get your son professional help now, before he turns out like other noted Midwestern psychopaths Jeffrey Dahmer and this guy.
If there is a silver lining, it is this: as long as you stay in Cleveland, the kid will learn to accept losing teams. They always do.

Does Being Overweight Damage Your Brain?
Sorry for the over the top headline, but the answer to the question appears to be yes…and please read this whole post, there is something really good at the end.How Being Overweight Affects The Brain
Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh scanned the brains of 94 people over the age of 70. They were looking to see the differences in the brains of people who were of normal weight (BMI under 25), overweight (BMI 25-30), and obese (BMI over 30).
If you are 5 foot 10 and you weigh 220, you have a BMI of 31.6 and would be considered obese. If you are 5 foot 10 and weigh 180, your BMI is 25.8 and you would be considered overweight for purposes of the study. There are certain athletes with lot of muscle mass that make the BMI inaccurate, but for the rest of us it is a valid measurement.The Scary Results
It turns out that Obese people have 8% less brain tissue than people of normal...continue reading »

Magellan Controllers
Back to: Magellan Home
As an MVC framework, controllers are the most prominent object in Magellan. At their simplest, controllers are implemented as classes, and actions are implemented as methods on the class. Actions on a controller must be public methods, and must return
ActionResult objects. Here is an example:
public class CustomerController : Controller
public ActionResult Index()
Model = Customers.GetAll();
return Page();
public ActionResult Show(int customerId)
Model = Customers.Get(customerId);
return Page();
This page describes how controllers are executed.
Controller Factories
Navigation begins at the Navigator, either by using a command, behavior or calling it explicitly. The Navigator processes the request by resolving a controller from the controller factory, executing the request, and releasing the controller back to the factory:
public void Navigate(NavigationRequest request)
Guard.ArgumentNotNull(request, "request");
var controllerFactory = ControllerBuilder.Current.GetControllerFactory();
var controllerResult = controllerFactory.CreateController(request, request.Controller);
var controller = controllerResult.Controller;
var context = new ControllerContext(controller, request, controllerResult.Release);
The controller factory implements the
IControllerFactory interface, and provides a method to resolve the controller:
public interface IControllerFactory
ControllerFactoryResult CreateController(NavigationRequest request, string controllerName);
The controller factory is set via the
ControllerBuilder.Current.SetControllerFactory method. See the topic on using an IOC container for an example on creating your own controller factory.
The controllers returned by the controller factory must implement the
IController interface, which is quite simple:
public interface IController
void Execute(NavigationRequest request);
NavigationRequest passed to the controller contains information about the controller name, action name, and any parameters for the request. It is up to the controller to decide how to handle the request given this information. If the class/method convention used by Magellan isn't enough, your controller can use different mechanisms to prosecute the request. Magellan's navigator, behaviors, and commands can still be used.
Controllers will usually derive from the
Controller base class. When this controller executes a request, it will work with an action invoker to resolve the action, call any action filters, execute the action, and evaluate the result.
The Execute method on the Controller base class is quite simple:
public void Execute(NavigationRequest request)
Request = request;
ActionInvoker.ExecuteAction(ControllerContext, request.Action, ModelBinders);
To make writing controllers easy, a number of helper methods exist for creating the action results, such as
Cancel() and
Redirect(). You can read more about them in the action results section.
Action Invoker
The action invoker is used by the controller to handle the details of executing the action. This allows you to continue to derive from the
Controller class while executing actions in a very different way. By default, the controller's
ActionInvoker property is set to the
The default action invoker uses reflection to map the requests Action property to a method on the controller. It then performs the following steps:
- Executes all pre-action filters
- Executes the action
- Executes all post-action filters
- Executes the action result
Action filters provide a way for you to implement cross-cutting concerns on controllers, such as authorization, logging, state management, and other examples.
When the action has been executed, it will return an Action Result. This is an important point - controllers do not show views directly, they simply return an object which is responsible for resolving and showing the view. This allows you handle the navigation request in a very different way without altering controllers.
Model Binders
One of the tasks the action invoker takes care of is mapping parameters from the current
NavigationRequest to arguments passed to the action method on the controller. Rather than putting this logic in the action invoker, it instead calls through to objects known as
Model Binders.
ModelBinders.Binders static property is a registry of active model binders, associated with a type. By default there is only one binder - a
DefaultModelBinder which uses type descriptors and casting to perform the conversion. If you wish to customize how request parameters are mapped to action method parameters, you can do so through implementing the
IModelBinder interface and registering it with the
ModelBinders.Binders collection.

Welcome, my name is Paul Stovell. I live in Brisbane and work on Octopus Deploy, an automated deployment tool.
Prior to founding Octopus Deploy, I worked for an investment bank in London building WPF applications, and before that I worked for Readify, an Australian .NET consulting firm. I also worked on a number of open source projects and was an active user group presenter. I was a Microsoft MVP for WPF from 2006 to 2013.
Hi Paul,
Can you elaborate on the reason for a
ReleaseController method, as opposed to having
IController "derive" from
IDisposable and doing something like this?
public void Navigate(NavigationRequest request)
Guard.ArgumentNotNull(request, "request");
var controllerFactory = ControllerBuilder.Current.GetControllerFactory();
using (var controller = controllerFactory.CreateController(request, request.Controller))
Great question Matt.
It's the same design principle that ASP.NET MVC follows.
IDisposable is one way you might like to clean up after a controller. But there could be other things you want to do, like:
- The controller might not be disposable, but you might create a Transaction/Session around the controller request (with NHibernate, etc) - release is the point where you would do that.
- There might be other assets you need to release when the controller is finished.
- Instead of creating new controllers every time, you may decide this is expensive and to pool them instead. In this case, release controller would release back to the pool rather than disposing.
- Maybe your controllers are
IDisposable, but they are also Singletons - you can't dispose them first time, but you plan to dispose them at some point.
- You might use something like Ninject Activation Blocks, which you want to dispose of at the end of the request to free anything that was allocated.
ReleaseController provides a more robust way of handling this. This is what the default implementation of
IControllerFactory looks like:
public void ReleaseController(IController controller)
var disposable = controller as IDisposable;
if (disposable != null)
Hope that explains it,
I guess it's also just a good rule that since I didn't allocate the controller, I also shouldn't be disposing it.
Update: The comments above refer to an older version of the API in which controller factories also had a
ReleaseController method. The API has changed such that the
ControllerFactoryResult now takes a delegate which can be used to release the component. It's a minor change, but I'm hoping this will make it easier to write custom controller factories.

Traveling Nail Salon in Parkhurst before I go into the points to help you choose your hairdresser, I should first outline the definition of what is a mobile hairdresser? A Mobile Hairdresser Johannesburg is a hairdresser who usually works for his or herself visiting clients at their homes or place of work, or any other agreed venue and does not operate from a fixed hair salon or beauty shop.
Is Mobile Hairdressing Worth It?
1.When to consider using a mobile hairdresser. The services of a mobile hairstylist may often be required to be used at a home for a wedding when it may often be inconvenient for the bride to travel to a hair or beauty salon to have her hair and her make-up done, requiring her then to travel back to her home to put on her wedding gown. Instead, the hairdresser will travel to the bride's home in order to style the bride's hair for her special day. A Mobile Hairdresser hairstylist is often in demand for Care homes, hospitals, prisons, the armed forces, and in many other situations where individual attention is required.
The Five Vital Reasons to Opt for Mobile Spa Services
4. Always Use a qualified hairdresser. As with Salon hairdressers, your mobile hairdresser should hold formal hairdressing qualifications. The UK national Vocational Qualification in Hairdressing (NVQ) is the only recognized qualification system, and more than 60% of mobile hairstylists are now trained to this standard. They should also hold professional indemnity insurance.
Your mobile hairdresser should be happy and prepared to recommend the perfect hairdos and often make-up to accentuate and compliment the individual looks of the customer, and offer suggestions on what hairstyle or make up should best suit the client.
Traveling Nail Salon in Parkhurst ?
Portable hair salon stations are designed for the mobile hairdresser in mind. The mobile hairdresser is someone who is on the move, so he or she is need of special equipment that's lightweight and easy to carry. This is the case with portable hair salon stations.
The goal of a company that manufacturers portable hair salon stations is to to provide a new portable hair salon station which is susceptible of a low cost of manufacture with regard to both materials and labor, and which accordingly is then susceptible of low prices of sale to the consuming public, thereby making such portable hair salon station economically available to the buying public.
Portable hair salon stations can range from traditional and elegant shampoo bowls at hair styling stations, to revolutionary and ergonomically correct back wash units. Some portable hair salon stations are designed to impress clients with a trendy decor, as well as provide the amenities that top stylist demand, are available many styles and price points.
400-18 QSEp PORTABLE is a portable hair salon station with four casters. It features two full-extension drawers, breadboard pull-out, fully-equipped tip-out tool panel w/ holders for blow dryer, two standard curling irons, one large curling iron, clipper pocket, and six-outlet power strip.
Portable Hair Salon Stations For Mobile Hairdressers

Come and join in this week's "Template Mash-Up" on the DD blog! This was a fun one! And, quite the challenge! It's hard enough for me to add things to a layout, but here I had to use elements from TWO different templates! And, yes... it really was fun to pick and choose! And, yes... this is outside my simple box somewhat! *wink*
My daughter tried out for the University of Minnesota's club soccer team and I'm happy to say that she made it! WooHoo! I had asked her for photos (since I'm not there!) and these were the two she sent me... one from the campus connector bus and the other "from where she stood"... clever!
You had two intense days of tryouts but you felt you had worked hard and done well. Apparently, you had because you got the call just a few hours after tryouts were over that you had made the team!
You were so, so happy and I was so stinkin' proud! *SMILEY* Go Gophers!
Photo 1: You had to take the Campus Connector bus to the St. Paul campus fields.
Photos 2: I requested a photo both days and these were the two you took and sent to me. Interesting
perspectives... perfect documentation.
I used the two challenge templates:
Adore You Layered Template
I used the 'thin' frame, the heart, flourish and splatter brushes, as well as the gold label/tab.
Scrap Express No. 156
I used one photo frame, I doubled the large brushed frame (one white, one maroon) and kept the inked frame (around the one photo).
I added background paper:
Textured Cardstock: Cape Paper Pack
And, the logo from the university website. (And a little soccer ball...)
Thanks for looking! Debi

Black and Hispanic students are closing the achievement gap in Texas, especially when it comes to completing high school. The Texas Education Agency said Tuesday that a record 88 percent of high school students graduated on time last year, marking the sixth straight year of gains.
Education Commissioner Michael Williams said the number of Class of 2013 students who finished high school in four years was the highest since records have been kept in their current form, at least through the 1990s, and had increased from 87.7 percent from the previous year. The latest data includes all-time highs for two minority groups: an 85.1 percent graduation rate for Hispanic students and 84.1 percent for blacks.
The same report from the Texas Education Agency shows 1.6 percent of the nearly 2.2 million students in grades seven through 12 during the 2012-2013 school year dropped out. That's a slight improvement from the previous year.
"The Class of 2013 continues an ongoing trend of success in the classroom which has translated into more high school diplomas," Williams said in a statement. "With additional flexibility now provided to school districts, we should expect graduation numbers to remain strong with all students better prepared for life after high school in college, the workplace or military."
That's a reference to a curriculum and graduation standards overhaul approved by the Legislature in 2013 that cut the number of standardized tests needed to graduate from 15 to five while also reducing the required number of advanced math and science courses. The new rules, which are still being fully implemented, are meant to give students more flexibility and allow them to focus on career and vocational training rather than just college prep courses.
Williams added that a "gap still exists" between black and Hispanic students and their white counterparts but that things were improving.
In his own statement, Gov. Rick Perry said: "We've set the bar high for Texas students to ensure every graduate is ready for college or career, and they have consistently demonstrated that they are up to the challenge."
Previous federal graduation rate figures, though, have reported different, sometimes lower, rates than the state tallies. Federal figures for 2013 are not yet available.
A federal study in November 2012 that found Texas' four-year graduation rate was 86 percent for the Class of 2011, high enough to tie it with five others for the nation's third-best rate. For that year, the state reported a four-year graduation rate of 85.9.
A different set of federal figures released in January 2013 found a four-year state graduation rate for 2009-2010 of 78.9 percent. That study, from the National Center for Education Statistics, estimated high school attrition rates among ninth-graders over four years.
According to state officials, the graduation rate for the Class of 2010 was 84.3 percent.
Texas says its figures are more accurate since it tracks actual cases that can be adjusted for things like student moving away before finishing high school.
"It's been encouraging in recent years that no matter what definition has been used, the trend rates are going up," said Debbie Ratcliffe, a Texas Education Agency spokeswoman. "They all show higher graduation rates and lower drop-out rates."

News tagged with cardiomyopathy
Cardiomyopathy, which literally means "heart muscle disease," is the deterioration of the function of the myocardium (i.e., the actual heart muscle) for any reason. People with cardiomyopathy are often at risk of arrhythmia or sudden cardiac death or both. Cardiomyopathy can often go undetected, making it especially dangerous to carriers of the disease.
Although in theory the term "cardiomyopathy" could apply to almost any disease affecting the heart, in practice it is usually reserved for "severe myocardial disease leading to heart failure".

Shares of the iShares MSCI Philippines Investable Market Index Fund (NYSE: EPHE ) are up almost one percent in midday trading following a surprising third-quarter GDP report from the Asian nation. Growth in the Philippine economy soared 7.1 percent in the quarter, easily surpassing second-quarter growth of six percent. Economists expected third-quarter growth of 5.4 percent.
The GDP news is the latest in a long line of favorable headlines that have sparked the iShares MSCI Philippines Investable Market Index Fund to a year-to-date gain of over 41 percent, making the ETF one of the best-performing country-specific funds this year.
Last week, the Philippine government announced it would repurchase $1.46 billion in dollar- and euro-denominated bonds in an effort to pare interest expenses. The move is seen as a significant effort by the Philippines to push for an investment-graded credit rating.
A strong desire for an investment-grade credit rating. Earlier this year, Standard & Poor's finally got around to raising the country's long-term foreign currency-denominated debt to BB+ from BB, the highest rating since 2003. That rating is just one notch below investment grade and it is the same rating S&P has on Indonesia, Southeast Asia's largest economy.
In May, Moody's Investors Service raised its outlook on the Philippines to positive. Last month, the ratings agency upped its rating on Philippine debt to Ba1, one level below investment grade territory.
Inflows to EPHE, the lone ETF exclusively devoted to the Philippines, indicate that investors are buying into the country's investment thesis. In early July, the ETF had just over $142.2 million in assets under management . That number was $171.5 million at the start of trading today.
In the first nine months of 2012, the Philippine economy grew at an average rate of 6.5 percent compared with a growth rate of 3.9 percent through the same period last year.
In a research note, HSBC praised Philippine policymakers for taking "timely measures to counterbalance an anticipated slowdown of demand from China and the eurozone as well as the resilient nature of the services-oriented economy," The Financial Times reported .
Currently trading at $33.32, EPHE is three cents below its intraday high and just 10 cents below its all-time high. The ETF has surged 14.6 percent in the past three months.

Dow will deliver FILMTEC RO membranes to the facility, which will provide potable water for 1.5 million residents
With one of the world's largest desalination projects underway, Sydney has joined the ranks of other coastal cities in Australia to identify seawater desalination as a sustainable and rainfall-independent route to providing drinking water for its burgeoning metropolitan area. Recently, Dow Water Solutions, a business unit of The Dow Chemical Co., signed an agreement with contractor OTV/ (Blue Water) Veolia Water Solutions and Technologies of France to supply FILMTEC reverse osmosis (RO) membranes contributing to efficient desalination process at the new facility.
As part of the contract, Dow will deliver approximately 36,000 FILMTEC RO membranes to enable the process of converting 250,000 cu meters of seawater per day into potable water, with potential for expansion to 500,000 cu meters per day. The wind-powered Sydney desalination plant, which will provide potable water for 1.5 million Sydney-area residents, is scheduled to come on line in the Australian summer of 2009-2010.
"This latest collaboration with the John Holland group, one of Australia's largest multi-discipline design and construction contractors and Veolia, a leader in desalination plant construction and operations, testifies to the growing interest in and support for desalination as a reliable and economically viable way to produce clean water in drought-prone, high-population areas," said Ian Barbour, general manager, Dow Water Solutions. "For us at Dow, it's a validation of our ongoing efforts to advance water treatment technologies that allow people to solve issues critical to their well-being and needs."
The advanced membrane technology from Dow Water Solutions helps communities worldwide to broaden their water sourcing options, and FILMTEC membranes help desalination be an economically viable method of treating seawater to address global water shortages. FILMTEC RO membranes already play a key role in three of the world's five largest desalination projects, including the plants in Tampa Bay, Fla.; Ashkelon, Israel; and Perth, Australia.

Gov. Snyder signs bills investing in Detroit, region
Michigan governor signs regional transit, lighting authority, Ilitch's entertainment complex legislation into law
DETROIT – Gov. Snyder and Detroit Mayor Bing held a bill signing press conference in Detroit's Central Business District.
The governor signed four legislations during the press conference on Wednesday.
Read: Snyder signs right-to-work bills into law.
He put his signature on bills creating a regional transit, a lighting authority in Detroit, and he also signed a bill allowing funds to be captured to help build a new sports and entertainment complex in the city.
In a release the governor's office called the bills, "a significant investment in city and region."
Lighting authority:
The signed bill will now allow Detroit and some other cities to establish public authorities to run their lighting systems.
In a statement Detroit Mayor Bing previously said "I am extremely pleased that we are one step closer to implementing my Administration's comprehensive public lighting strategy for the City of Detroit. We will be able to move forward with solving a generations-old lighting problem that hinders public safety and quality of life for the citizens of Detroit."
The city will appoint members to the new authority.
"The first thing we need to do is get the right people to come to the table," said Bing during the press conference.
The mayor said getting the lights back on in the city will be done in phases, and he said the city hopes to start phase 1 sometimes in 2013.
"The whole grid system needs to be changed," he said.
The endeavor will take three years to complete according to the mayor.
During another press conference Wednesday, Bing announced 10 initiatives designed to bring in about $50 million to the struggling city of Detroit.
The revenue enhancements were detailed at City Hall during a press conference with Bing and his Chief Financial Officer, Jack Martin.
Uncut video: Detroit mayor goes over revenue plans.
Ilitch's entertainment complex:
The Ilitch organization supported House Bill 5463, allowing the Downtown Development Authority (DDA) to continue capturing existing funds that would support a catalytic development in Detroit.
Snyder signed the bill allowing funds to be used with Mike Ilitch's proposed $650-million to build a sports and entertainment complex in the city.
Ilitch's proposal includes retail, shopping, housing and a new events center which would serve as a new arena for the Red Wings.
The bill now gives the organization a leg up on the proposal.
Regional transit authority:
The bill creating a regional transit authority was 40 years in the making.
The legislation only received one Democratic vote in the House.
There were 24 prior attempts to pass the bill before today's signature.
Gov. Snyder citied the many counties who came together to help formulate the new plan.
Eastern Market:
Another signed bill will give funding to Eastern Market to expand Shed 5 while helping locally made food products.
Snyder and Bing were joined by lawmakers and other government, community and business leaders for the news conference held on Woodward near Campus Martius.
Michigan passed 282 bills during the last few weeks of lame duck legislative sessions.
Earlier Wednesday, Gov. Rick Snyder signed legislation aimed at helping military veterans gain employment in the electrician and plumbing fields.
The governor's office said that Snyder signed measures to require experience gained through military service to be taken into account when being considered for licenses in those fields

Farmers Liability for Their Animals
Stephen F. Matthews and Michael Mowrer
Department of Agricultural Economics
Acts of animals kept as pets or as part of the farm enterprise may subject the owner to legal liabilities. This publication discusses some of the situations where liability may be imposed on the farmer for acts of his or her animals.
The common law recognizes two general classes of animals — wild and domestic. Animals such as farm livestock that are ordinarily harmless to people are classified as domestic animals. Ownership of domestic animals carries certain legal liabilities. The following hypothetical cases will be discussed to demonstrate the nature and extent of the possible legal consequences arising from the acts of such animals:
- Your cattle break through a fence along a road and damage your neighbor's corn.
- You drive your herd back to your land by use of a public highway and one of the animals is struck by a car.
- You discover that your herd is diseased and through your lack of care the disease spreads to your neighbor's herd.
- Your dog while off your property kills sheep belonging to someone else.
- You keep a watchdog, which attacks a salesman as he comes to call.
- Your dog, which is very friendly, jumps up to greet a visitor. The visitor is frightened and falls off the front porch.
A lawsuit can arise in any of the above situations. By studying these examples, you can learn how to protect yourself from the unpleasantness of a lawsuit. At the same time, you can become acquainted with your rights against those who fail to carry out legal duties owed to you.
This publication contains only general statements of the law based on limited sets of facts. Consult with your attorney if you are faced with a similar situation. Your attorney can get all the facts of the case and act upon them in your best interests.
Damages done to neighbor's crops
Responsibility for acts of domestic animals is determined to a large extent by the fencing laws of Missouri. Under the old "open range" system, domestic animals were free to roam at will. If a farmer wanted to grow crops or make some other use of his land, it was his responsibility to fence out domestic animals. If he failed to do so and subsequently suffered a loss, there was no liability on the part of the animal owners.
This open range system continued to be the law in some parts of Missouri until Jan. 1, 1969. At that time, the General Assembly declared the open range system to be at an end and made Missouri a "closed range" state. Under this system, which is the current law, owners must fence in or restrain their animals on their own land. Failure to fence in or restrain animals can lead to owner liability for the damages caused by wandering animals.
Whether or not you are liable to your neighbor for damages caused by your animals depends on where and how your animals entered her or his property. The Missouri law recognizes two classes of fences — exterior fences and division fences. An exterior fence refers to any fence other than one located on the boundary line between two adjacent landowners. For example, a fence along a road is an exterior fence. A fence between two adjacent landowners is a "division" fence.
If your animals cross one or more exterior fences, as in the first example, you are liable for all damages that the animals cause. This is true because under the closed range system the owner of the animals has the duty to fence in his or her animals.
If your animals cross a division fence and damage your adjoining neighbor's property, the liability for damage depends on whether you or your neighbor is legally obligated to keep up the fence at the point crossed by the animals. If it is your responsibility to keep this portion of the fence in good repair, you are liable for the damage done by your animals. However, if your neighbor is obligated to keep up the fence at the point where the animals got out, he or she must bear the damage inflicted by your animals.
The responsibility for keeping a specific portion of a division fence in good repair ordinarily is established by an agreement between you and your neighbor. The agreement may be either oral or written, but the latter is preferable, as it is significantly easier to prove the actual substance of your agreement.
Not only is it good advice to have the fence maintenance agreement in writing, but it is also advisable to have the agreement made a matter of public record by recording it in the county recorder's office. In the absence of an agreement, it usually is said that you must keep up that half of the division fence that lies to your right when facing the fence and standing in the middle of the fence row.
Suppose that your neighbor's livestock have trespassed on your land. What can you do with these animals? You have several alternatives, but in no case do you have the right to kill the animals merely because they have trespassed on your land.
First, you can drive the cattle off your land in a reasonable manner. They can be driven in any direction unless they came onto the land through your fault, such as failure to maintain your part of a division fence. In that case, you must drive them back in the direction from which they came. If you drive the animals farther than is necessary to protect your land and thereby injure the animals, you are liable for such injuries.
Another action you may take is to impound the animals, holding them until you are paid for the damages they caused. To have the legal right to impound the animals, you must possess the land or be an agent of the person in possession. The animals must be domestic and must be captured in the act of doing damage or under circumstances that show they had done damage recently.
Only a small amount of damage is needed to justify impounding, but the impounder must use ordinary care in keeping the animals and can make no use of the animals except to preserve them. For example, it would probably be permissible to milk dairy cows but not to use a horse for chores.
The owner of impounded cattle may get her or his animals back by paying the amount of the damages inflicted. If the owner and the impounder cannot agree on the amount of damage, Missouri statutes provide for judicial action to resolve the dispute.
Animals on the highway
Generally, animals are on the highway either because they strayed from confinement or because they were being driven along or across the highway. Several variations can arise in this context.
If you are negligent in maintaining your fences and allow your animals to escape onto the highway, your liability exposure is increased. You can be liable to motorists using the highway for damages that occur when they collide with such animals, provided the driver himself was not negligent. You are also liable if the fences are in good repair, but you keep animals you know are capable of jumping or breaking out of the fence you maintain.
Liability is also possible when fences are adequate and in good repair and the animals, not being known to be capable of breaking out, do escape. If the owner knows the animals have escaped and fails to remove the animals from the highway within a reasonable period of time, he must respond in damages to those on the highway who are harmed. Again the theory behind your liability is negligence — failing to drive the animals off the highway under circumstances when an ordinarily reasonable and prudent person could have foreseen a risk of injury to motorists or to others.
If cattle escape and cause damage but the owner is not negligent, Missouri law may still impose liability upon the owner. In some states, courts require the owner to be at fault before being held liable. Other states impose liability for damage caused by animals regardless of the innocence of the owner.
Missouri appears to be somewhere between these two extremes. Missouri courts have said that if animals stray onto a highway and are involved in an accident, the law presumes negligence on the part of the owner of the animals. To avoid liability in such a situation, the owner must prove that he or she was not negligent or that the driver of the motor vehicle was himself negligent, and that this negligence on the part of the driver was a contributing cause of the accident.
In the second example in the introduction, the animals were not strays but rather were being driven along the highway. In this situation, and all others where negligence is the issue, the law says the owner of the cattle must use that degree of care which would be exercised by the ordinarily reasonable and prudent person under the same or similar circumstances. More simply stated, he or she must avoid creating an unreasonable risk of harm to others.
Thus, in the example, the owner must use that degree of care necessary to enable him to control the herd when driving them along the highway. Various conditions can raise or lower the degree of care that is required. Is it daylight or at night? Is visibility good or poor? Is the traffic light or heavy? In some situations, very little danger is involved; in others, one might be negligent in having a herd on the road no matter how much care was used. The best advice is to size up the situation and use good judgment in deciding when and where you drive your cattle and in what methods you use to warn approaching motorists.
Animals generally are allowed to be driven along roads except where local ordinances forbid the practice. This privilege generally carries an immunity for casual trespass on private land along the highway. However, this immunity applies only to property alongside the road and not to property damaged by animals straying from the road. Once the animals stray from the road, the animal owner is liable for negligence in failing to pursue them promptly and herd them back on the road.
Permitting a communicable disease to spread
The third example presents the problem of animals spreading communicable disease. The owner of animals suffering from a communicable disease, who has knowledge of their condition, has the duty to use reasonable care to prevent them from transmitting the disease to other animals or to human beings. If, by reason of the owner's negligence, they are permitted to communicate the disease, he is liable for the resulting damage.
One also may incur liability by renting out land that has become infected through use by diseased livestock if reasonable care has not been used to discover and correct the condition. Reasonable care must also be used in disposing of infected food and litter.
Liability for a rabid dog is outlined specifically under Missouri law. The owner of a rabid dog or the owner of another dog that has fought with or been exposed substantially to a rabid dog must either kill it, impound it or have it immunized. Failure to do so is a misdemeanor and is punishable by a fine of not less than $100 nor more than $500. He is also liable for damage caused to others by failing to take one of the above steps.
Missouri has laws that regulate the disposal of dead animals. These laws apply whether death was by disease, accident or natural causes. The law requires every person owning or caring for an animal that has died to dispose of the carcass within 24 hours after learning of the death.
An owner may dispose of the dead animal himself or call on a person licensed by the state to dispose of or transport dead animals. The owner may dispose of the carcass by burying it so that no part of the animal is less than four feet below ground level.
Missouri law prohibits the disposal of a dead animal by burning, cooking or any method other than burial, except at a licensed disposal plant. The purpose of this law is to regulate commercial rendering plants. The law does not prohibit the owner from disposing of the carcass in any reasonable manner outside the city limits of any municipality. While Missouri law permits substantial latitude in the manner of disposal, an owner residing outside city limits should always ensure that the method of disposal he chooses does not create a nuisance.
Certain situations concerning dead animals are exempted from the coverage of the laws regulating the disposal of dead animals. Some of these exempted situations are: animals killed solely for human consumption; persons transporting or dealing in hides and skins; and dead fowls, birds, fish, reptiles or small animals such as dogs, cats and small game.
Injuries caused by dogs
The last three examples cited in the introduction concern dogs. Dogs, of course, are not the only animals that may cause physical injuries to others for which the owner must respond in damages. For the most part, however, the law is more precise with regard to dogs because more court cases have involved injuries caused by dogs. However, except where noted, the concepts discussed and applied here to dogs could apply equally well to cattle, horses, sheep, fowl or other domestic animals.
Dogs occupy a rather unique position in the law. Their legal status is placed somewhere between wild animals and domestic animals. They are looked upon as somewhat more dangerous than other domestic animals. Therefore, one is more likely to be held liable for the injuries they inflict. On the other hand, dogs are not presumed to do damage by their trespasses as are other domestic animals and, therefore, cannot be impounded and held for damages (unless they actually are causing or have caused substantial damage to the property of the impounder).
A dog caught in the act of killing sheep, or under circumstances showing that he recently had done so, may be shot on sight unless the dog is on the premises of his owner. The justification for this rule is that the owner of the sheep is entitled to protect against similar damage in the future. This is the situation given in the fourth example in the introduction.
The key elements in the area of personal injuries inflicted by animals are
- A vicious propensity on the part of the animals
- The owner's knowledge of such a vicious propensity.
A vicious propensity is a tendency of an animal to do any act that might endanger the person or property of another in a given situation. Knowledge of a vicious propensity and failure to restrain the animal properly, in light of that knowledge, renders the owner liable for the damages caused by such animal.
Where the animal has strayed from the owner's premises to the property of another, the "knowledge" element appears to be a less stringent requirement in holding the dog's owner liable. The reasoning seems to be that the animal has gone to a place where it has no right to be, and the owner has thereby violated his or her duty to restrain it. Therefore, the owner should pay for any damage caused because of his or her failure to restrain the dog.
The knowledge requirement raises another legal difference between wild and domestic animals. With respect to a wild animal, the owner usually is presumed to have knowledge of the vicious and dangerous characteristics of the animal. However, in the case of a domestic animal, there is no such presumption. The owner is liable for a domestic animal's actions only if
- The animal had actually been vicious or had a tendency to injure persons through its prior actions
- The owner had knowledge of these tendencies and inclinations.
The owner of an animal with vicious propensities has a duty to either kill it or restrain it so that it may not do the harm that its vicious nature threatens. If he keeps such an animal with knowledge of its inclination to do harm, the owner does so at his own risk. The early law said that liability for injuries inflicted by animals was based on negligence. Now, however, the basis of such actions is not negligence in the manner of keeping the animal, but the fact that it is kept at all.
Early law also held that before a dog needed to be restrained, "he was entitled to his first bite;" that is, the dog actually had to injure someone before the owner was required to exercise caution in keeping him. The law of Missouri has changed since that time, and this "first bite" rule is no longer the law.
If a dog has a menacing disposition and snarls at people, the owner probably has a duty to restrain him because he has a vicious propensity — a tendency to do harm. A dog who has bitten someone only after being teased or otherwise treated with cruelty would probably not need to be restrained by the owner. Here again, you must use that degree of care which would be exercised by an ordinarily reasonable and prudent person under the same or similar conditions.
Example five given in the introduction is the situation in which a watchdog bites a visiting salesman. At the outset, we must agree that a dog is used as a watchdog because of his vicious propensities. The dog is used as a watchdog because of the possible harm (or at least threat of harm) he may do an intruder.
As a general rule, the right to keep a dog for protection shields the owner from liability to one who incautiously enters his premises at night, even though he enters for a lawful purpose. If, however, the owner permits that same dog to be at large on the premises during the daytime and a person is injured by it, the owner is liable, even though the injured person is at the time a trespasser.
In the example, if the salesman is a trespasser you may require him to leave and use reasonable force in so doing. However, if he is on the premises for a lawful purpose and the watchdog creates an unreasonable risk of harm to him, the owner may be liable if the salesman is injured by the dog.
The last example shows how broadly the law defines a vicious propensity. We usually think of a vicious animal as being fierce, savage, dangerous or untamed. But in determining one's legal liability, we must look to legal definitions.
Legally, an animal is vicious or has vicious propensities if it tends to do any act that might endanger the person or property of others in a given situation. Therefore, if one knows that his dog is friendly and tends to jump up to greet people, he has sufficient knowledge of the vicious propensities of the dog and is liable for injuries caused by such behavior. Thus, legally, even an overly friendly dog may be looked upon as vicious.
Animals are divided into two classes — wild and domestic. As a general rule, you have no duty to restrain wild animals still in their natural environment. However, you must restrain or confine your domestic animals in such a manner as not to create an unreasonable risk of harm to others.
When the law places a duty of reasonable care upon you, those who may be injured by your animals must also exercise reasonable care for their own safety. If they fail to exercise this degree of care, you may use this as a defense if they should sue you for their injuries.
However, if the law places an absolute duty on you to protect others from injury, the fact that the injured party failed to exercise reasonable care cannot be used by you as a defense to escape liability. Thus, the magnitude of your legal duty may have a significant effect on the outcome of a lawsuit.
Under present Missouri law, there is no longer any open range; you must now fence in your domestic animals. If they escape through your lack of care, you are liable for the damages they inflict. If the animals of another invade your property, you may drive them off your property if you do so in a reasonable manner. If they do damage, you may impound them, holding them until the owner pays for the damage.
In driving animals along or across a public highway, you must use reasonable care to avoid harm to motorists and others on the highway. You should plan such operations carefully, taking all circumstances into account. The use of warning devices will put motorists on notice of the danger and may reduce the risk of liability.
The owner of diseased animals must use reasonable care to avoid the spread of that disease. He also can incur liability by renting infected premises or by carelessly disposing of infected feed and litter. Rabid dogs, or dogs exposed to rabies, must be killed, impounded or immunized. Dead animals must be disposed of according to the rules which the law prescribes; they must not be allowed to create a nuisance.
The owner of an animal who knows of the vicious propensity or tendency of the animal to do harm is under a duty to kill it or restrain it in such a way that it cannot cause the harm threatened. Failure to do so makes the owner liable for resulting damages. It should be remembered that the term "vicious propensity" is defined quite broadly by the law.

Ecruteak City has a population of 46 which makes it the fourth-largest city in the Johto region.
Areas of Interest
Bell Tower
According to legend, this tower is home to the legendary Pokémon, Ho-Oh.
Burned Tower
The Burned Tower used to be as tall as the Bell Tower before it burned down in a mysterious fire 150 years prior to the events of Pokémon Gold, Silver, Crystal and their remakes. Lugia also used to live here, moving to Whirl Islands when the tower burned down. The legendary beasts: Raikou, Entei and Suicune can be encountered for the first time in the basement, after which they flee. It is also the place where Silver will challenge the player for the 3rd time.
Kimono Dance Theater
The Kimono Dance Theater is where the player meets and battles the Kimono Girls. Each of them has an evolution of [[Eevee]. After defeating them the player will be awarded with the HM for Surf.
- Main article: Ecruteak City Gym
- Hyper Potion: Near the Tin Tower
- HM03 Surf: Reward for defeating all the Kimono Girls in the Ecruteak Theater(Gold/Silver/Crystal) Reward for saving the single Kimono Girl present from a Team Rocket Grunt(HeartGold/SoulSilver)
- TM Shadow Ball: (from Morty after defeating him).
- A house that you cannot enter in Olivine City features an NPC that speaks of a pharmacist in Ecruteak City who had treated her Pokémon, despite the pharmacy being in Cianwood City instead. This is either a mistranslation, or a hint of the pharmacy originally being in Ecruteak City in the Beta version of Pokémon Gold and Silver. Evidence of the latter is that there's another inaccessible house in Ecruteak City, near the Mart and PokéCenter.
- The Cianwood City theme is same as the Ecruteak City theme in Pokémon Gold and Silver. In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the music is unique but have the same base.
