Persian cranberry rice pilaf
We had this gorgeous rice as a side dish to our alternative Christmas feast Friendsmas- read all about it here! I have always been hopeless at cooking rice for big groups of people- it nearly always gets all glutinous and stuck together! This is rinsed through very thoroughly and also soaked, and it was perfect! The cranberries were a little nod to Christmas and worked really well in this rice and alongside the other dishes Pulled Persian chicken and Crushed carrots with harissa and ...

Crushed carrots with harissa and pistachios
I can't claim this recipe unfortunately, it is from the amazing Yotam Ottolenghi, one of my all time favourite chefs- he can really work magic with vegetables! This recipe is from his book Plenty More (click here to see). We had this as part of an alternative Christmas dinner for Friendsmas (click here to see the full menu) and my husband and I both agreed that this was one of the star dishes. There is a hint of orange (perfect for the alternative Christmas dinner), and it ...

Pulled Persian chicken
This year I cooked an alternative Christmas dinner for a group of friends, a Persian feast (you can read all about my Friendsmas by clicking here, as well as seeing the full menu)! It was inspired by a Persian Street Food stall that I visited at a Food Festival earlier this year. I knew that I wanted to cook some kind of shredded chicken dish, with lots of rich flavours, but I couldn't find a recipe anywhere that seemed to be the sort of thing that I was looking for, so I bit the bullet ...

A Persian Feast for 'Friendsmas'
I feel like I've got my Christmas dinner down to a tee now, we always have a huge turkey from the farm local to my Mum and Dad, we have to have Tom Kerridge's polished carrots, goose fat on the potatoes (slimming's out of the window on Christmas day as far as I'm concerned) and 2 types of stuffing. However, there's a new type of Christmas celebration emerging in our lives, and it isn't the one you spend with family on 25th December, it's 'Friendsmas', a gathering of friends, in the weeks ...

Bacon and mushroom quiche with sweet potato crust
A sweet potato crust is my favourite way to do quiche at the moment- it's so easy (way easier than making pastry and more healthy!) and it really adds both filling power and flavour to your quiche. When I made this one, I was actually planning to do a chilli courgette quiche, but it turned out I had run out of courgettes, so I just used what I had in the fridge which was mushrooms and bacon! To make the crust I just thinly slice sweet potato with a sharp knife and layer into a ...

Thai chicken curry
Thai curry is such a classic- I used to make it at least once a week and always with full-fat coconut milk! If you find a good quality ready-made curry paste it really is the easiest meal to throw together. I have always used the May Ploy curry paste- green or red- it is so good that for me it's not worth all the effort of making my own (well I would if I had a load of time on my hands!). This is what it looks like, and you can get it in most major supermarkets- I've deifnitely seen in ...

Mexican layered chicken bake
Mexican food is a real love of mine, fajitas are often a Saturday night treat for us, but unfortunately wraps generally aren't wholesome or healthy, so I really wanted to come up with an alternative which still seems like as much of a treat. I have made an enchilada bake before which is really delicious, but although it cuts down on the amount of wraps you would normally have, it does still use them. I decided to trial grated sweet potato as one of the layers both to create more ...

I was lucky enough to be invited recently to a Christmas lunch at the Slimming World head office(you can read all about it here )- this was one of the pudding choices and it was absolutely lovely! It is only 3 syns per slice so perfect for a guilt-free Christmas treat and it makes a gorgeous centrepiece for a Christmassy table!

This is my version of Nigella's 'brocamole' idea- she in turn credits the idea to Ludo Lefebvre, who did a purely broccoli version with no avocado. I adore fresh guacamole, and although avocados are very good for you and full of 'healthy' fat, if you are following Slimming World it is very high in syns and for me it's great to be able to enjoy guacamole without eating a ton of syns!

The Republican Nightmare
To Save America: Stopping Obama's Secular-Socialist Machine
Glimpsed on CNN at 5:45, the network crawl on caucus night: "Rap on Iowa: Too White, Too Evangelical." The words were polemical but not untrue, and the thought might have occurred to someone before. But it had never been in the crawl before; there was a shortage of ideas at 5:00, and elections have become a yearlong entertainment. If, in the day of Lincoln and Douglas, they were outdoor dueling sermons with a picnic thrown in and freestyle challenges from the congregation, the paradigm seems to have shifted to American Idol or Survivor. An astonishing amount of the talk in the Iowa campaign was amateur talk; but, as on the reality shows, that is the point. The politicians are climbing the amusement ladder of January, March, and April. Only the prime time of the general election presumes that they be halfway informed, semicogent.
The new model may account for the number of candidates who participated in the twelve debates in Iowa, and the liberality of caprice shown by Iowa Republicans in shifting favorites. Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry, Herman Cain, and Newt Gingrich each enjoyed a swollen moment at the top. The evident aim of the "surge" for these candidates was to find the force that could destroy the Mitt Romney juggernaut: he was too predictable a figure, too much the "sound" choice, and too moderate for a party whose proudest epithet is "conservative." Romney is seen as a man of the establishment, deep down; no sort of contrast to Obama, except in what he says today—but he talked differently yesterday.
A little over 122,000 participated in the caucus vote on January 3; together they made up 5.4 percent of voting-eligible persons in the state. Again, there is nothing wrong with the smallness of the sample if you take the reality TV model seriously. It might seem wrong for such a group to impose so large a tribulation for the public good. But in these winter and spring playoff rites of passage, an even tinier sample, say a town of 25,000, would do. In any case, how did people choose—what explained the binge of support for Rick Santorum over the last few days of the Iowa campaign? A young mother interviewed on MSNBC, asked why she supported him, said that she liked him because of, "oh, his concern with family values—and I have a family."
Michele Bachmann, who had won the Ames Straw Poll in August, suffered more than anyone else from the sequential serenade that greeted the arrivals of Perry, Cain, and Gingrich. The first two were nibbled at by old memories of their opinions or their lives, and were seen to crumble as their endoskeletons were exposed. But Gingrich already had been exposed—hadn't…

Yet another release from Apple, this new release enhances the stability of the genuine Mac machines and brings down the Hackintosh yet .. again! Changes that breaks things in this update:
- SleepEnabler.ext would not boot and result in Kernel Panic if kernel flag pmVersion is not set to 20
- AppleHDA.kext drop support for ALC888 (introduced in 10.6.3)
I will show you how to update to latest 10.6.4 safely. Please read carefully and follow the instructions. You can ask questions by posting comment and I will try to help you out .
- To resolve the SleepEnabler.kext Kernel Panic, before installing 10.6.4 you have 2 options:
- Edit your Extra/Extensions's com.apple.Boot.plist file with this code:
Kernel Flags pmVersion=20
- Remove E/E SleepEnabler.kext completely and then after installing 10.6.4, then drag Meklort 's kernel independent SleepEnabler.kext to your E/E folder. Download the extension here
WARNING if you do not update pmVersion kernel flag nor removing your current SleepEnabler.kext, you will get Kernel Panic on restart – so be decisive! I go for Meklort's way
- Edit your Extra/Extensions's com.apple.Boot.plist file with this code:
- Backup your /System/Libary/Extensions/AppleHDA.kext if you were following my previous post. You will need to reinstall this kext with Kext Utility after installing 10.6.4. This is because Apple drop support for ALC888 in 10.6.3. You can reuse your 10.6.2 AppleHDA.kext if you are upgrading from 10.6.2.
- For Bonjour fix, If you have used the RealtekR1000SL.kext method in /Extra/Extensions you will need to re-do that too (again see the previously posted link to the 10.6.3 update for details).
- Please make sure you drag and drop the E/E folder onto Kext Utility to fix permission, this step is highly recommended. Next download and install 10.6.4 combo update. Restart and enjoy!
Please search around for Kext Utility, it's one of the best tool for Hackintosh!

It just brings up the 'Tecno Powered by Android' screen and goes off immediately.
So what solution do you have for me?
Sent from my SM-G955F using Hovatek Forum
try booting into recovery mode using the method as explained @ https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-15392.html
the timing matters, release the buttons once the white tecno logo shows
That is exactly what I have been doing but to no avail. It just goes off immediately. Not working.

Global Times: China-U.S. Trade Agreement "Followed the Win-Win Principle"
Sunday's Global Times carries an editorial which is very positive on the U.S.-China trade agreement, as the headline indicates: "China, U.S. Reach Win-Win Victory with Trade War Truce." According to the editorial, the joint statement says the two countries will substantially reduce the trade deficit, including by "expanding trade in manufactured goods and services." They report that "both nations fought fiercely for their own country's interests. In the past two and a half months, the situation was close to reaching disastrous conditions. Even until the very last moment before the final agreement was made, both countries did not give up." And there will be tough sledding ahead: "Now both nations need to figure out how to achieve this balance."
Overall, "this agreement signed by China and the U.S. today has followed the win-win principle. The U.S. will have the opportunity to reduce its trade deficit with China, while China will achieve the consistent purchase of U.S. goods to benefit the devleopment of the country and its people's life."
Predictably, the anti-China lobby in the U.S., including top Democrats, is not pleased. For example, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer attacked the agreement, saying that it fell short on protecting U.S. intellectual property rights and on opening China up to certain U.S. exports. "The joint statement has nothing specific on those fronts."

Nestled in the heart of Carnaby is the Newburgh Quarter, a diverse and distinctive shopping, dining and lifestyle destination, just a few minutes walk from Soho and Oxford Circus.
The Newburgh Quarter has a unique identity, offering both renowned and independent brands, one off concepts, as well as restaurants, pubs & cafés. Creativity runs through the cobbled streets; Newburgh Street, Marshall Street, Ganton Street, Foubert's Place, Lowndes Court and Marlborough Court.
Those with a fashion-conscious mind will love the mix of iconic brands and independent stores. Well-dressed gents can enjoy bespoke tailoring from Mark Powell. Denim lovers can head to Levi's Vintage Clothing, or for the discerning dressers, head to Fred Perry, C.P Company, RRL and Barbour stores. Not forgetting shoes from Red Wing Shoes, Red Wing Women's Shoes and Onitsuka Tiger.
For brands with signature styles, Newburgh Quarter is home to some of the hottest independent labels, including the London flagship stores of The Ragged Priest, Lazy Oaf, Billionaire Boys Club and Drop Dead.
Of course, there's more to Newburgh Quarter than clothing - lifestyle and accessories brands, such as contemporary spectacle store Cubitts and for jewellery find handcrafted creations from Mor, or the iconic rock and roll rings from The Great Frog.
After shopping, take some time out with the help of the health, hair and beauty stores in the area. Pankhurst London speakeasy barbershop is the ultimate masculine retreat whilst Johnny's Chop Shop retro barber style takes you to 60s Vegas. Why not head to Marshall Street Leisure Centre for a gym, pool & spa session, or to Cowshed for beauty treatments to truly pamper yourself. Make sure you don't miss premium wet-shaving brand, MÜHLE's first ever UK store on Newburgh Street, packed full of high-quality shaving products and skincare sets with a basement treatment space opening this winter offering men's grooming services.
From coffee to burgers, Newburgh Quarter offers a varied selection of food and drink. For after work drinks, head to traditional English pubs The White Horse or The Shaston Arms, or for a bite to eat, why not try our pitta experts PITTABUN or dumpling restaurant Ugly Dumpling. If you are looking for a glass of wine with your meal then wine bar and restaurant Antidote or Kua 'Aina are great too. If you're after a caffeine fix, try Department of Coffee & Social Affairs.

RED HOT RED DOT SALE……January 10-11, 2020
Today is the beginning of the one annual sale the ARTIST GALLERY in Carlsbad, New Mexico has traditionally held during the first days of January. Through a series of goofs, this year the RED HOT RED DOT sale will not be a one or two day sale that our customers have grown to anticipate BUT it will be a sale that lasts NINE DAYS! Getting the sale promoted has been a main challenge this year but our intrepid contact with the radio stations which broadcast in the area, is carrying us through with all the ad/promotion she can cram into the next week. A number of the gallery artists have facebook pages and regularly post on them so the sale is being promoted that way along with a few "shares" from friends of the gallery. Because of our presence in the main downtown street, our display windows are another means of letting people know of the sale going on. It is alive with red dots. Everything, that is EVERYTHING in the gallery is priced at 20% off the marked price AND any item that has a red dot attached is 40% off. What a deal! I hope our devoted clients won't wait since the sale is longer this year, that could mean losing out on their favorites since we expect outstanding sales and choice items are bound to go first.
All of my boxes of Christmas cards will have red dots ($15.00 each, will now be $9.00) along with a few of my framed paintings. All the clay pieces I have created this year have already sold during the holidays. Below is a "red dotted" piece: "NEW EVERY SPRING" (watermedia/collage painting) one of my favorite florals. It is 34X24 inches including a simple gold leaf frame. Its regular price is $750.00, that means it will go for $ 450.00 during the sale.

First time ever using my laptop while on the toilet! My stomach has been acting up, must have been that random 4pm McDonald's lunch (missed breakfast and lunch) Bit cramped in here – and oh the smell, but pretty productive if you ask me. First time blogging from the toilet too. Not much going on around in here, so ill update you with what's happening.
Spent the summer doing nothing much, went to Izu prefecture to go visit hot springs, went to Tateyama to climb a mountain and drank alot with James's mates. Bought a couple new PS3 games (Tom Clancy's Rainbow 6 Vegas and Ghost Recon Advanced War fighter 2) been playing Bioshock and that about sums it up.
Summers almost finished, so I will be driving up to FujiQ Highlands on Friday with some of the alt's and staying the night – full two days of riding roller coasters and such. This will be my first visit to an actual roller coaster park, New Zealand has one, but I wouldn't really call it a roller coaster, it's very small.
New school coming next week – going to be a long visit this time, all the way to December. Going to be interesting as I will be taking around three weeks off to go visit and New Zealand for my sisters and fathers birthday. Still wondering what I should get my father for his birthday, I'm thinking along the lines of a nice knife or something.
I think I've finished in here – almost destroyed my girlfriends toilet. Everyone is always telling me to watch what I eat, now I know why (Oh the pain!)

One imagines that a lot of the appeal of art cars -- aside from the fact that they're often insane looking -- is the fact that it takes art out of the gallery and into the streets. There's nothing stuffy or pretentious about it, it's simply art that anyone from age three to age 83 can understand and enjoy.
With more than 275 entries in the 2013 edition of the Houston Art Car Parade, narrowing down the list to our 20 favorite rides was not easy. We're just happy that there's a thriving art car community that allows us to have this embarrassment of riches to choose from.
20. How can you not feel a swell of patriotic pride when this comes down the road?

16. Anyone else feel like singing "Under The Sea" right now?
15. That's a heck of a hood ornament.
14. It was certainly the cutest bird we saw all day.

12. We hope we don't have to explain to you why a banana car is awesome.
11. Some cars you wash, some cars you polish.
10. No joke here, we just really like the graffiti.

Content Marketing – What we learnt in 2017
From the days when advertisers had complete control over the type of content we could access to the end user controlling the content flow, the times have changed a lot. The year 2017 was a phenomenal one with respect to content marketing trends. The advertisers no longer rule the roost and the customer is truly the king. Here are some interesting things we learnt about content marketing this year and how that would make an impact on the coming year.
Advertisers no longer control the industry
Tables have turned and the advertisers no longer have control over what type of content or even the ads we see. Blocking an irritating ad is just a flick of finger away. Customers do not want trashy content that is saturated with oddly placed keywords; they want engaging, informative and good quality content that is worth paying heed to.
Users want that the content that they are going to access:
- Should provide great value – content should benefit the reader in one way or the other.
- Must be based on verifiable facts – nobody wants to read shallow words that are world apart from real life.
- Needs to be optimized, current and newsworthy
- Must be accessible on a mobile device – mobile is the way forward; is your content accessible on smartphones and tablets?
- Should be personalized and well researched
Evergreen content is must for building trust
Evergreen content is the holy grail of content marketing. If anyone had any doubts regarding the efficacy of lasting content, the same should have evaporated in smoke this year. It is essential for building trust and readership in the long run. Evergreen content is like magnet for readers, they continue keep coming for it even after years of publishing. Today's internet users prefer content that doesn't get old and reward such publishers with loyalty.
What type of content is classified as evergreen?
- Such content that answers burning questions.
- Long form posts that are rich in statistics and evidence
- Readers love case studies
- Visually appealing Infographics have tremendous power
- How to guides that provide step by step information regarding solving a problem
- The popularity of Podcasts has soared to unimaginable heights
Use as many Infographics as you can
Infographics are a rage these days and pack a heavier punch than text alone can. Some powerful messages can be conveyed with the help of the same thanks to rich graphics involved. Research has shown that customer engagement can be increased by several times thanks to use of infographics. These are three times more likely to be shared on social media than text. This essentially means these ought to be in the arsenal of every content marketer
Here is why you need to use more infographics in your content marketing efforts:
- These improve website's SEO by several notches
- Infographics are likely to get tons of social shares
- These are great for increasing brand awareness
- Connecting with your target audience becomes immensely easy with infographics
Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality is catching up fast
With new technological advances being witnessed with each passing day, it is quite important for a content marketer to remain updated with the same. The rise of augmented reality and virtual reality is worth mentioning here. The efficacy of the same was proven much beyond doubt with the tremendous popularity of Pokemon Go that milked these technologies like no one else and tasted enormous success. Any content marketer looking forward to stay ahead of competition ought to make good use of the same.
In fact, companies are investing a lot to make most of the trends. For instance, specialized VR and AR equipment is making way into the market that helps content publishers to create cutting edge content. It is highly likely that there will be a deluge of such content in the coming year.
Rise and rise of influencer
Influencer marketing became a thing in the year 2017. Anyone having a big social media following across platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram among others is considered to be an influencer and can impact buying decisions of his or her followers. In this way, influencers are quite too valuable to ignore for brands. In fact, the latter are doling out rewards for the former. This has, in fact, triggered a race among social media users to get recognized as one.
Such influencers are paid handsome sums for posting social media posts that act as advertisement for their followers, without looking too preachy. We are going to witness this trend to continue in the coming year and several new influencers rising to the top of the table, grabbing a piece of the pie.
Given by the above lines some pretty interesting trends were noticed in the year 2017. It is expected that content publishers are going to build up upon the same in the year 2018 and chalk out new success stories.

Procurement remains one of the most basic building blocks of corporate activity and one that can dramatically impact day-to-day operations and, ultimately, margins.
After all, the continuous act of sourcing, buying and maintaining an eye on costs tied to goods and services is one that directly ties into expenses, which can, of course, add up if inefficiencies creep into the process.
To that end, AmeriQuest, which provides procurement and asset management solutions, has some sobering findings tied to a survey just conducted, focused on procurement. The upshot? Confusion reigns among employees surrounding procurement, at levels as basic as how, who and when.
It's not too farfetched to say that, where confusion is rampant, inefficiencies follow.
In an interview with PYMNTS, Reggie Peterson, director of AmeriQuest's indirect supply programs division, noted that the confusion over procurement is "general, and it is confusion over who does what."
Indeed, the survey itself, which sampled 2,000 screened respondents directly involved in the procurement process, showed that transparency is lacking within organizations. Key issues, noted the executive, stem from the fact that key people involved in the procurement process "sometimes do not have a seat at the table" when it comes to discussing strategy or process with the uppermost echelons of management, such as CEOs or CFOs. Without direct discussion with these key decision-makers, tracking expenses — and an ongoing dialogue on how to manage those expenses — can be a conversation of key importance that falls by the wayside.
Lack of clear direction and firm-wide strategy on procurement means that what Peterson termed "dark purchasing" becomes a side effect and one that leads to lost margins as employees make suboptimal purchasing decisions.
A few alarming facts emerged from the survey: Roughly one-third of respondents said that they remained unsure as to who exactly within their organizations had the final sign-off responsibility for procurement. And, said Peterson, 20 percent of those surveyed said that procurement in general, as a practice, had "no visibility within their own firms." Additionally, roughly a quarter of respondents said that they order supplies on their own and then file expense reports. Peterson said that this also leads to inefficiencies, as much of the reporting and then expense report submissions rely on paper processes across expense reports, invoices and checks for reimbursement. Given the fact that fully 20 percent of those surveyed said their firms have no procurement processes in place at all, clearly, there is room for improvement.
Among the industries that are dominated by such archaic processes, with room for improvement: manufacturing, with far-flung operations and long supply chains, including cross-border, with issues tied to currencies.
Technology can help streamline processes internally and also standardize procurement, said Peterson. Key measures that could find succor in technology and firm-wide standardized policies: rebates and discounts, which, of course, can help cash flow. But, according to the survey, nearly 27 percent said they were aware of rebates but had to seek them out on their own. Another roughly 20 percent stated they were not aware of either opportunity.
Banks, corporates and even regulators now recognize the imperative to modernize — not just digitize —the infrastructures and workflows that move money and data between businesses domestically and cross-border.
Together with Visa, PYMNTS invites you to a month-long series of livestreamed programs on these issues as they reshape B2B payments. Masters of modernization share insights and answer questions during a mix of intimate fireside chats and vibrant virtual roundtables.

Greek diplomats and the head of an anti-landmine charity were among eight people facing charges Monday for misappropriating some nine million euros ($12 million) in taxpayers' money destined for demining projects, police said.
Police spokesman Christos Parthenis termed it "one of the most extensive cases of fraud carried out against the Greek state" in a briefing to reporters.
Three unnamed Greek diplomats, three retired civil servants, the head of the non-governmental organisation that ran the projects a decade ago, and his wife are all being prosecuted over the case.
The Athens-based NGO, International Mine Initiative, had undertaken to clear minefields in Bosnia, Lebanon and Iraq from 2000 to 2004 with funding from the Greek foreign ministry.
However, staff hired locally by IMI were apparently forced to give back up to 30 percent of their salary in fake donations to the organisation.
This money was then allegedly used to help the IMI claim a mandatory 25-percent monetary stake in the projects, meeting a requirement for the Greek government to fund the remaining 75 percent, the police said.
Some of the illegally obtained funds were used for the personal expenses of the unnamed NGO chairman, who was arrested in Cyprus and has been placed in pre-trial detention.
From the police statements, it was not immediately clear how much demining was actually carried out in the three countries.
"The investigation is in progress," Parthenis said.
The Greek diplomats and retired civil servants filed the necessary paperwork to show the operation was proceeding smoothly, but in many cases the Greek embassies on the ground had no knowledge of the projects at hand, the police said.

During this welcome lull in awards season, with the Golden Globes and guild and critics' awards behind us, and the Academy ceremony still two weeks off, I thought it would be an interesting exercise to re-watch the last five best-picture winners, both to see how they hold up on their own terms—the thrust and parry of ancient Oscar campaigns having returned to the dust from whence they came—and to consider what light the winners' sterling (and not) qualities might shed on the current race. It's not always the case for me when it comes to best pictures, but I didn't hate—and in some cases even admired—the five most recent, which were, in order: The Hurt Locker, The King's Speech, The Artist, Argo, and 12 Years a Slave.
Confession: this post has been very much inspired by the terrific "One Year Later" feature from the film criticism Web site the Dissolve, in which, as the editors put it, "we look back at the most hyped and heavily discussed movie of this month one year ago, consider its reception at that time, and examine how it holds up today, free of expectations."
The aging process for films, like people, can be full of surprises, some pleasant, some less so. . . .
The Hurt Locker (2009)
As I remembered it: A brutal, unrelenting grunt's-eye-view of war, at times almost unendurable; reminiscent of earlier best pictures The Deer Hunter and Platoon but without those films' simplistic moral overlays. To my taste, this was one of the rare times the Academy picked a truly great film as best picture, a win that was all the more pleasing since voters forwent the temptation to honor the epic but silly Avatar.
How it plays now: Even better than in fond memory, still tense, still shocking, even when you know what's coming, but more thought-through and layered than was obvious in the rush of first viewing. Though the fog of war is one of the film's subjects, Kathryn Bigelow's direction is always precise, full of tiny, visceral, disturbingly human details, such as the close-ups of Jeremy Renner's exposed fingers, all the better to defuse I.E.D.s with, while the rest of his body is walled off by possibly useless armor. With its view of combat as a kind of drug addiction, one that Renner's character can't beat, this is maybe the most nihilistic movie ever to win best picture. (Perhaps not coincidentally, it is also the lowest-grossing best picture in decades if not ever, with a mere $17 million to its credit.)
The King's Speech (2010)
As I remembered it: Well made, entertaining, but almost too well made, too tidy. Uninteresting cinematically, more like a filmed play or a vintage episode of Masterpiece Theater. Was this the most static best-picture winner since . . . I don't know . . . A Man for All Seasons? It is most memorable, perhaps, as a prime example, along with Shakespeare in Love, of executive producer Harvey Weinstein's skill at pushing comfortable, "classy," middle-brow movies over the finish line.
How it plays now: Pretty much the same as it did then. The performances by best-actor winner Colin Firth, Geoffrey Rush, and Helena Bonham Carter still go down very smoothly—these are always fun performers to watch—and there is more going on in director Tom Hooper's mise–en–scène than I recognized on first viewing, framing and set decoration, for instance, which emphasize the isolation of Firth's George VI (née Bertie). Still, a pretty slender reed of a movie, one that asks us to care deeply about a king's stammer while the rest of the world is going up in flames. Best-picture double-dipper Guy Pearce, who was dispatched in the first 10 minutes of The Hurt Locker, returns here as Edward VIII, only to abdicate.

At least since His Girl Friday (1940), Hollywood has made films featuring newspapers where journalists are white knight figures riding to protect truth, justice and freedom. The Paper - covering 24 hours on a New York tabloid - is a perfect example of the genre and Michael Keaton is also perfect as the sort of editor the Hollywood movies love: smart, tough, fast-talking and yet humane. A loving if idealised view of the profession.
This film has several uses of moderate bad language.

- "Restore HP to all allies."
|Crystal is a Venus Djinni fought and found in Golden Sun: The Lost Age, and is numerically the eighteenth and final Venus Djinni in the games' official Djinni ordering and thus the eleventh numbered Venus Djinni of The Lost Age.
Location[edit | edit source]
Crystal is findable in the optional dungeon Yampi Desert Cave, an optional endgame dungeon accessible only with the Teleport Psynergy. When you eventually get to its area, you will find a group of sand on the ground where something under the sand appears in four designated spots in a predetermined pattern and at a moderately fast rate. Find a place where it appears, and at the moment the moving sand appears in front of you, cast Scoop - you can use the Select button to open the Psynergy menu and take your time casting Scoop while the sand pile is frozen in place by the fact that your game's Psynergy menu is open. Crystal is automatically battled once it is unearthed.
As an opponent[edit | edit source]
Statistically, Crystal has 990 HP, 94 PP, 309 Attack, 97 Defense, 280 Agility, and 33 Luck. Like all other Venus Djinn that are fought, in terms of resistance, it has a Venus Resistance rating of 193, Mercury and Mars Resistance ratings of 100 each, and a Jupiter Resistance rating of 25, and in regards to its abilities it uses its available Venus-based attacks with a Venus power rating of 125.
Crystal can use the following battle commands:
- Grand Gaia: Used 53 out of 256 times, this is a Psynergy spell that strikes the party of Adepts with an eruption of earth-based energy and rocks from the ground, dealing a Venus-based attack with a power rating of 200 and a range of 5. This ability costs 32 of its user's PP.
- Thorny Grave: Used 47 out of 256 times, this is a Psynergy spell that generates a mass of negatively-colored purple skull symbols that strikes into the party of Adepts, dealing a Venus-based attack with a power rating of 170 and a range of 3, and each affected Adept may be afflicted with the Haunt status effect. This ability consumes 24 of its user's PP.
- Stone Spire: Used 41 out of 256 times, this is a Psynergy spell that causes five large stalactite to fall down from above onto the party and shatter, dealing a Venus-based attack with a power rating of 160 and a range of 3. This ability consumes 22 of its user's PP.
- Nettle: Used 35 out of 256 times,
- Wild Growth: Used 29 out of 256 times, this is a Psynergy spell that causes a large amount of thorny vines to erupt from the ground and though the party, dealing a Venus-based attack with a power rating of 110 and a range of 5. It consumes 19 of the user's PP.
- Attack: Used 28 out of 256 times, this is this monster's standard physical attack, but for this monster it is counted as a Venus-based attack rather than a non-elemental attack.
- Flee: Used 23 out of 256 times, this enemy has the ability to attempt to Flee the battle, thereby ending the battle if successful without rewarding you with the associated EXP, Coins, and the Djinni itself.
When defeated, Crystal yields 1211 EXP and 764 Coins, and the Crystal Djinni is added to your party's Djinn collection. If you fell it with an offensive Jupiter Djinni like Squall, its rewards increase to 1574 EXP and 993 Coins.
Defeating and earning Crystal in one turn without even needing summons should be trivial by this point if you have the Sol Blade from Mars Lighthouse. However, if this Djinni does manage to damage the party, it can ironically restore whatever damage it caused in the next battle.
|Category:Monsters with high Venus resistance | Category:Monsters with low Jupiter resistance | Category:Psynergy-capable monsters
Description[edit | edit source]
When Set, it increases base HP by 10, base PP by 5, and base Defense by 2.
When Crystal's battle effect is used, an elaborate, circular glowing orange symbol appears under the party's feet and rotates counterclockwise as orange energy is projected upwards through the party. All current battling Adepts have their HP meters restored by 50% of their respective maximum HP meters, making it superior to the otherwise similar effect shared by the Venus Djinni Flower and the Mercury Djinni Spritz.
Ability analysis[edit | edit source]
By the endgame, if you are playing with every Adept in their respective mono-elemental class series for example, Crystal suffices for Adepts such as the Venus Adepts that do not have the Wish Psynergy series or Mist Potions and need a decently powered substitute. For example, if the party's maximum HP is roughly 1000, then Crystal would heal 500 HP to each member. Obviously this obsoletes the Djinn Flower and Spritz, both of which would only heal 300 HP (as much as a Mist Potion) in that case, but it is up to the player's battling style and approach how useful Crystal's easily understandable effect can be.
Name Origin[edit | edit source]
Crystal is a solid material, whose constituent atoms, molecules, or ions are arranged in an orderly repeating pattern extending in all three spatial dimensions.

4 Anxiety Management TechniquesWhen you ask a person what worries them, it could be something as simple as leaving their homes unlocked or unable to pay their credit card bills on time or health. However, when you ask a person suffering from anxiety disorder, you probably get more worrying detailed answers to a typo in the last report filed, or his sister's wedding arrangements three months or more than fretting his striped son knee. An anxious person tends to exaggerate any situation and can not help themselves, but worry to death.
1. Exercise You can simply take you dog to the park or take your family to go on tours on weekends. Jog a mile or two. Take the stairs instead of the elevator. Learn a new sport. Take up gardening. The list is endless. Whatever physical activity you can find, they do. You can devote all energies I nervous about something healthier and more productive. Exercise can reduce stress, anxiety, frustration and aggression. It is a perfect technique of managing anxiety.
2. Breath Take a breath of fresh air is not only an idiom but also a life-saving activity. Go out of town as you can and find a place with lots of trees and water. Most importantly, controlled breathing practiced. Deep breathing techniques are defended by activities such as yoga and tai chi. The Council encourages people to breathe in your abdomen. This type of breathing is actually a meditation technique that requires constant attention and is complete with all their concerns shoved to the back of your mind.
3. Connect Perhaps your anxiety is because they can not think of anything outside his family and friends. Expand your circle. Join a local nonprofit organization or even a book or sports club. Having something to you can only be a refreshing moment in life. It is also good to find new people who share the same interests as you.
4. Organize could be that stress and anxiety is the result of mismanagement. Some people just have too much to do in their hands which is very difficult to remember everything. Add structure to your life. Use an organizer or Blackberry to plot day, week or month of activities. Leave messages on your answering machine to ensure that nothing is forgotten. Organization is a very good technical management of anxiety.

The Ryder Cup-style event will see 12 injured servicemen from the UK taking on their American counterparts over two days.
The first day will be played in a four-ball better-ball format over the Dyes Valley Course, with the final day left for 12 singles matches on The Players Stadium Course.
On Course was founded by ex-player manager John Simpson – who handled the careers of Nick Faldo, Bernhard Langer and Greg Norman, amongst others – before setting up the foundation.
"The match and the events leading up to it are key aspects of the On Course Foundation's programme, which builds confidence in the wounded Service Personnel as they face new challenges in their lives. Most importantly we aim to give these heroes opportunities for the future via work experience and employment opportunities in the golf industry," said Simpson.
"The Simpson Cup gives these determined and focused men and women something to work towards – a real target."
General Manager of TPC Sawgrass, Bill Hughes, added: "We are looking forward to hosting members of the On Course Foundation for the Simpson Cup in December.
"When John first brought the concept to us, we were intrigued with the idea of hosting a competition for current and ex-Servicemen and women from both sides of the Atlantic."
The Simpson Cup will be held from 2-5 December at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Verdra Beach, Florida, USA.

Global British Coup vs. the United States - LaRouchePAC Fireside Chat
At Jackson Hole, Wyoming, on August 23rd, Bank of England Governor Mark Carney proposed that Central Bankers take control of the entire world as a new financial crisis begins, replacing the dollar as a reserve currency with a digital currency controlled by Central Banks. His proposal was seconded by BlackRock, LLP, the world's largest hedge fund which features many central bankers on its board. They advocate central bankers taking control of all spending, world-wide, ending the reign of nation states. Obviously, the globalists have now come totally out of the closet, as their intelligence minions did through the attacks on the presidency. The last time such a financial scheme was put into place was by the Nazi Finance Minister Hjalmar Schacht in coordination with the Bank of England's Montagu Norman. As in that scheme, fully implemented by Adolph Hitler, an ideology, neo-Mathusianism in the form of the climate change myth, will be used to justify world-wide deindustrialization and genocidal population reduction.
Now, the genocidal motive of the coup against Donald Trump comes clearly into view. In reality, these people, working through such institutions as the IMF and the City of London's Green Finance Institute have been campaigning for this result for some years, promoting a basket of currencies, such as the IMF's SDR, to replace the dollar and promoting "sustainable development" as the mantra for keeping developing nations in check. Trump's invocation of Glass Steagall, the American System, defense of the nation state, an end to endless wars, and now, his Moon-Mars space program, are primary and deadly threats to this program.
Tonight we will discuss the status of the coup, the attack on the space program by the Democrats, the defeat of which will be a central focus of ours, and the critical relationship between the third and fourth laws of Lyndon LaRouche, the necessary basis for making Artemis an actual program for economic revival. How do you create a population capable of assimilating and acting upon major breakthroughs in science, such that society, as a whole, advances? Join us.

'Stick Indian' shows 'As It Happens' how we roll…the tape
While doing other chores, my ears pricked up this evening hearing CBC Radio's 'As It Happens' program.
The host was saying 'We contacted Sylvia Minthorn' about something or other–and I thought, well now, that's a name I associate with the Yakama Nation.
I wasn't far off.
Turns out Sylvia lives in Pendleton, OR. That's the Umatilla Nation.
She'd made an audio recording of an unidentified, uncanny intermittent howl that keeps happening near her home. Officials and scientists are telling her it's probably foxes.
If you listen to the audio, you might wonder how they convinced themselves of that.
Ms. Minthorn suggested on air that maybe the sound is from 'Stick Indians'. (Nice Chinook Jargon-derived name.)
You could hear how nonplussed the CBC interviewer was, with a very long pause followed by a question like "Did you say, um, 'Stick Indian'?"
She had to explain to them what Stick Indians are. Here's some more Stick Indian background.

Alaska's Gates of the Arctic National Park is so vast that it stretches across an area bigger than Vermont, Rhode Island and Delaware combined.
Karupa Lake, tucked off in its northern corner, is so remote that reaching it takes a four-hour skiplane flight from Fairbanks. And it's so quiet — a day alone there could leave you thinking humans no longer existed.
Scientists recently set up audio recording equipment at Karupa Lake as part of a larger effort to document the changing soundscapes of our national parks. They retrieved the equipment months later. It was destroyed. They then salvaged the recordings, and found a surprise: Footsteps, sniffs, huffs, a series of clattering crunches, then silence.
Bear versus sound recorder. Bear wins.
As the number of people visiting Alaska and national parks breaks records, acoustic measurements of quietude or wilderness-ness are becoming more important to employees of the National Park Service who view sound as part of the ecosystem. The twenty-some members of the Natural Sounds and Night Skies Division are creating long-term recordings across the parks to determine if and how humans and their sounds may be altering park experiences of both visitors and wildlife.
"Old-timers say the one thing that's gotten worse, or changed, is how much noisier it's gotten," said Davyd Betchkal, an ecologist who works in Alaska for the division. But there are still places he can go for 24 hours without hearing the sound of a combustion engine. "If I ever have kids, I want them to be able to come to Alaska and have experiences similar to the ones I've had," he said.
Karupa Lake is perhaps the premier place for solitude, pure wilderness and intact nature in the whole national park system. This past summer Mr. Betchkal sent Noah Hoffman, his assistant and now a graduate student at the University of Colorado, Boulder, there to get a baseline reading of the types of sounds you'd expect to hear — and the unnatural sounds you wouldn't. They got almost three weeks of sound before the bear destroyed the recording station.
This episode is just one example of the challenges scientists like Mr. Betchkal face working to document and preserve the climate and soundscapes in national parks. Clashes between bears and equipment are not that uncommon. Mr. Betchkal gets about three or four a year.
Three types of curious bears find and approach the equipment — especially after hibernation in austere environments, Mr. Betchkal said.
The cautious bears smell it and immediately leave. The hungry ones taste test and claw at it. They leave when they realize it's not food. And the scared bears charge. You can hear the speed of their steps as they run toward the station, flatten it and unplug the mike.
"It's kind of an unknown creature on the landscape that is not moving," Mr. Betchkal said. And in bear language, that steadfastness is a sign of dominance. The equipment says, try me, and the bear says O.K. This interaction is rare, and most fall into the first category.
But Mr. Betchkal thinks the Karupa Lake bear was a type two, and judging by the sound of its lungs and the location, it was a grizzly.
In setting up the equipment, Mr. Betchkal was interested in learning how unexpected, human-made background noise might shrink your ability to perceive sound across the vast landscape. That is, say, how a plane overhead might block the detection of a robin on a branch a mile away, shrinking your range of hearing. But even in the absence of human sound, the presence of a human tool had created an unnatural opportunity to detect another unexpected sound.
"Even in a place where human noise is practically inexistent," Mr. Betchkal said, "you'd probably say, oh yeah, I bet it's pretty quiet. But until you go there and put a mike on the ground, you never know."

A key differentiator between window brands is the materials they are made of. When it's your reputation and quality of work that is on the line, materials matter. Performance is indicative of what the window is made of, and those materials will also be a direct factor in how long they will last. No windows are stronger, more durable and require less maintenance than fiberglass windows, so it is in your best interest to recommend them to your customers. They significantly outperform vinyl windows and are less expensive than clad wood windows. You owe your customers the option of better quality, longer lasting fiberglass windows.
- Not Bothered by Water: Because fiberglass is impermeable to moisture, there's no concern about rot, corrosion, mold or shrinking and swelling.
- Temperature Stable: Neither heat nor cold will induce fiberglass to flex, sag, or change dimension. That reduces chances of leaks around window perimeters.
- More glass, less frame: The stiffness and strength of fiber-reinforced resins means that window frames and sashes can be narrower and less bulky without compromising their ability to resist high winds.
- Value: On average, fiberglass windows run about 25 percent more than vinyl and about half the price of aluminum-clad wood.
- Longevity: Warranties against construction defects range from 10 years to "lifetime" or for as long as your customer owns the house. Insulating glass typically carries a 20-year warranty against seal failure.
- Low maintenance: Very low maintenance outside of cleaning the glass and replacing the weather stripping every decade or so.

We use milk daily in almost 50% of our diets but maybe that's not all we can use milk for. You may know some other uses but here are 5 uses you never knew about.
- For Cleansing
Raw milk is the best cleanser you can probably find. Take a cotton ball and dip it in raw milk to wipe your face with it. Leave it on for 5 minutes and then use fresh water to wash it off. Make this a part of your daily skin cleansing regime to get squeaky clean skin. It becomes fair and supple from inside out. There is also another cleanser that you can try out. Blend 2 slices of papaya in milk. Use this mixture and apply on your face and neck. Leave it on to dry off, and then wash with cold water. Your face becomes clean, fair, and also fresh.
2. To remove wrinkles
You can also use milk to remove wrinkles. This acts an an anti-ageing cream. Mix half a banana and some raw milk to make a paste to get rid of wrinkles .
3.To Lose Weight
Milk is very tasty and a healthy way to snack. It is also a great appetizer and keeps your stomach well nourished. Have a glass of milk after your dinner to get sound sleep. You could also team it up with a fruit to make it even tastier. Drinking low fat milk or skimmed milk makes you lose eight easily. It is an effective way to help in your weight loss program.
Now after reading this, don't forget to share with your friends, they might need it too.

UK govt proposes volunteer "police reserve"
(Cory Doctorow) As part of a set of major cuts to police budgets, the UK government has floated the idea of supplementing police with volunteer militias of "community police" who will get to tell their neighbours what to do:
The scheme was first raised in a Conservative pre-election policy document which talked of creating a "new cadre of police reserves".
The consultation paper says that neighbourhood policing is key to David Cameron's "big society … we want more active citizens taking part in joint patrols with the police, looking out for their neighbours and passing on safety tips as part of neighbourhood watch groups or as community crime fighters," it says. May said she wanted to see more special constables, whose numbers have plummeted from 67,000 in the 1950s to 15,000 today.
But the paper adds that they want to go further and explore new ideas to "unlock the potential of police volunteers in the workforce, for example, as police "reservists".
