text: Software Eucalyptus, Terracotta partner for private clouds Jennifer Kavur @itworldca Published: February 9th, 2010Terracotta Inc. and Eucalyptus Systems Inc. have announced a partnership that promises to solve two key challenges enterprises face with private clouds – scalable data management and elastic provisioning."Working together, we will be able to simplify things for customers with a joint go-to-market strategy," said Jeff Hartley, vice-president of marketing and products for San Francisco, CA-based Terracotta.As part of the agreement, Terracotta's scalable data management infrastructure software for Java applications will integrate with Eucalyptus' open source private cloud platform. The two companies are also planning to develop joint sales and marketing activities."We will both be able to recommend to customers a combined solution that's going to simplify their search for private cloud infrastructure software that can deploy clouds quickly and easily," said Hartley. Eucalyptus has received a lot of attention for its ability to deploy clouds and its compatibility with Amazon Elastic Cloud Compute (Amazon EC2), which reduces the learning curve for operators and developers, he said.Meanwhile, Terracotta enables applications to scale better by allowing data to reside in the application tier instead of in the database tier, he explained."You want to be able to scale up and down elastically based upon how conditions change. The key to doing that is to pull in the data that an application consumes up into a tier than can scale in and out horizontally and that's the application tier. That's where Terracotta resides," said Hartley.The combined solution will "dramatically simplify the provisioning and management as well as the scalability of the data tier within those clouds," said Hartley. "The end result is going to be private clouds that are a lot easier to build and a lot easier to scale.""The partnership is really focused on making sure that what we do with Eucalyptus and what Terracotta does with its offerings are tightly aligned and essentially built going forward to work well together," said Rich Wolski, CTO of Santa Barbara, CA-based Eucalyptus Systems.Scalable Web services are "the first mover application for clouds," according to Wolski."You can do other things with clouds, but what has really captured people's imaginations and driven a lot of engineering into the cloud is the idea that you can host these very flexible and dynamically scalable Web services, and clearly, Terracotta's technology makes that possible," he said.The Eucalyptus platform, which supports the same APIs as the Amazon AWS public cloud infrastructure, provides the means for hosting of these services on-premise, he pointed out. "The real advantage, given the way that Eucalyptus and Amazon share an API, is that you can write one software base that can run in either venue," he said."It can either run on-premise on top of Eucalyptus and do this very scalable data management in your data centre or … in Amazon or a little of both. You can essentially build a hybrid solution with a common API underneath," said Wolski."The great thing about Terracotta and Eucalyptus is we have a very similar business model with an open source core platform. We sell additional products built on top of that platform, which is nice because our marketing sales efforts can coincide," said Matt Reid, vice-president of sales and marketing at Eucalyptus.External cloud providers have traditionally based their services on an open source hypervisor like Xen and then sold their own "secret sauce" to managing that virtualized environment, said John Sloan, senior research analyst at Info-Tech Research Group Ltd."What's interesting with Eucalyptus is that they have taken the next step and have looked at creating a virtual framework, or management tools for managing a virtual infrastructure. So open source has sort of traveled up the stack," said Sloan.The partnership is an "example of the coming together of various parts of the equation that are all provided by open source, which, depending on the company and their attitude towards open source, could be a significant opportunity," he said.Open source cloud computing is an area that can see a lot of growth as cloud computing options continue to become popular, said Sloan.But the first question for software of any kind is always, "How does it meet the needs of the business?" Sloan pointed out. "The fact that it is open source or has cloud in the name is still secondary really to the efficiency of the software," he said.Follow me on Twitter @jenniferkavur.

Date of Tribute
The Date of Tribute was one day of each year in ancient Corondor in which the Kingdom of Khone and the Kingdom of Shikar had to send tributes to Sol'Kanar the Swamp King, including food, slaves, material goods, and knowledge. If these things were not sent, Sol'Kanar threatened to destroy the kingdoms. The tribute was later changed to just sending one spellcaster from each kingdom, who Sol'Kanar hoped would be able to summon a Scarzam Dragon

The National League has received approval to stage test events which will allow up to 1,000 people to attend games later this month.
Friendly matches have been confirmed at Dagenham, Yeovil, Dartford and Notts County on 22 and 26 September.
Seven English Football League games this weekend will be watched by crowds as part of the pilot to allow the safe return of spectators to sport events.
The National League season is scheduled to begin on Saturday, 3 October.
Earlier this week, National League chairman Brian Barwick said he feared clubs would "suffer severe economic hardship" if spectators were not allowed to return to stadiums in the near future, with teams at that level more reliant on matchday income.
The 2019-20 National League regular season was brought to an early conclusion because of the coronavirus pandemic, although play-off games in its three divisions were played behind closed doors in July and August.
The confirmed fixtures for the pilot, which must follow the government's social distancing guidelines and are subject to local safety advisory group approval, are as follows:
Tuesday, 22 September
- Dagenham & Redbridge v Concord Rangers
- Yeovil Town v Bath City
- Dartford v Dover Athletic
Saturday, 26 September

I love my mother. She raised my by herself and is an amazing woman. She has medical issues and financial problems that give her difficulties - memory problems due to a small stroke, arthritis, some nerve damage to her legs that gives her a staggering gait, ill-fitting dentures, etc. To keep this in perspective on the wonderful things about her, I did write a history of her life and how wonderful she is for her 70th birthday back in April.
Despite all of this, she annoys the ever living shit out of me, and it makes me incredibly mad at myself that she annoys me. She should NOT annoy me just by being who she is. I don't want to be annoyed by these things as much as I am, and it makes me feel PETTY, disrespectful and unloving.
- She is very country, despite no longer being in the country and KNOWING how to properly pronounce words. I try to 'correct' her way too much because I don't want my kids to talk that way!!! I'm sorry, but there are no such words as 'wrasslin', 'Saterdee', 'sireeen', 'wirehouse', 'warsh' and some of the other prime words that make me crazy. I've told her (probably should have kept this to myself) that she is a smart woman, but the way she talks makes her SOUND dumb. People judge you by the way you talk and make assumptions that you are some country bumpkin when you talk like that. I REALLY don't want my kids to pick it up.
- She has dentures that don't fit her, because she never went to get a new set once her gums shrunk back after her teeth were all pulled. Because of her dentures (I'm assuming this is the reason), she keeps her tongue between her teeth when she talks, making her slur her words and lisp. I've ridden her for some time to get new dentures, but she just makes excuses. This has been going on for YEARS. We've offered to pay for them, offered to make the appointment for her - excuses and delay tactics. I've told her that she will have to relearn how to talk when she gets new dentures, because she has now spoken like this for so many years.
- She has anxiety and depression, among other things, but won't do a DAMN thing about it. She complains and complains, but she won't mention it to a doctor. The times she does, she tells me they blow her off. I KNOW why they did - she downplays everything. If you just mention in passing to a doctor that you sometimes feel anxious, but then say it isn't a problem, how will that doctor know that it actually keeps you from leaving the house and driving sometimes? They only know what you TELL them! They aren't mind readers! Going to a different doctor because that one couldn't read your mind isn't going to change things. I actually go with her to her important doctor visits to act as translator, but I can't go with her to ALL appointment! I've told her to write things down, so she can take a list, and we've actually done it before, but then she didn't give the doctor the list. Either do something ABOUT it, or stop COMPLAINING!
- She is the queen of passive-aggressiveness and guilt. One time I asked her not to say something to the kids (shut up) and she immediately said that she doesn't know how to do things our way, so she shouldn't be watching them and should just go home. That's overreacting for you. If she wants to do something, she will NEVER say she wants to do it. She will not make any decisions, no matter how small. What do you want to eat? Oh, whatever YOU want to eat. The kids were out of school today, and she told me on Friday she had a doctor's appointment on Monday. I said that's fine, to which she immediately said she will cancel it so she can watch the kids while they are out of school. I didn't ASK her to watch the kids, and I didn't give any impression that I was bothered by her having an appointment, yet I ended up YELLING at her that her health comes before coming over to my house, and that my kids are my responsibility, not hers.
- She has the nerve to judge what I feed my kids. I was raised on fast food. She always told me that it was cheaper to eat fast food than for her to cook for just the two of us. Cooking at home meant heating up frozen dinners. Those frozen dinners were fried foods, mostly. We ate foods such as vienna sausages or potted meat on Saltines for snacks. I try to give my kids MOSTLY good foods. They don't get many sweets. We make healthy choices, such as low fat milk, veggie hot dogs, yogurt, things like that. Then they also can have cheese pizza, chicken nuggets or things of that nature a couple of times a week. She blamed me for Matthew's reflux saying that I was feeding him nothing but tacos and other spicy foods even though it made him sick. WTF? Not only is that wrong, but who are YOU to judge what is being fed to kids?
God, she makes me crazy. I wish I could recognize that she is getting old, her health isn't great, we are blessed to have her here to see every day, and that I want my kids to see a healthy relationship in the family. Nope. I find myself screaming at her, critiquing her every move and trying desperately to NOT be anything like her. Why can't I just accept my mom for who she is?

The Commonwealth and Western Australia will share the long-term liability for a carbon sequestration scheme attached to the massive Gorgon LNG project.
The Gorgon project - which is yet to get the final go-ahead - is expected to create up to 6,000 jobs while in construction, and could boost the national income by more than $60 billion over the next three decades.
The Greater Gorgon area is Australia's largest known gas resource, holding more than 40 trillion cubic feet of natural gas.
Prime Minister Kevin Rudd told parliament an important element of the project was the capture and storage of CO2, which would help in the fight against climate change.
"Some of the gas fields in the Greater Gorgon gas fields have a high CO2 content - the joint-venture partners propose to capture and store that CO2 by injecting it two kilometres into a saline aquifer under Barrow Island,'' he said.
"The proposal is to sequester some three million tonnes of CO2 per year - that represents around 130 million tonnes over the life of the project.
"Gorgon would be the world's largest geological storage operation.''
Mr Rudd said one of three outstanding issues for the project related to indemnifying the joint-venture partners against third-party claims following the closure of the CO2 sequestration project.
"Both (the state and federal) governments have agreed to share the long-term liability,'' he said.
"The provision of the indemnity is subject to the Gorgon joint-venture partners making a final investment decision this year.''
Mr Rudd flagged further regulation to protect the interests of all stakeholders.
But he said it was an appropriate action to take.
"It's appropriate that the commonwealth government has a direct role in advancing this project given its scale and significance to the Australian economy,'' Mr Rudd said.
"This is the largest resource project ever proposed in Australia.
"The Gorgon project will make an important contribution, assuming it proceeds, to the Australian economy and our energy security for many, many decades.''
The project is being developed by the Gorgon Joint Venture, which consists of Chevron (50 per cent and operator), ExxonMobil (25 per cent) and Shell (25 per cent).

Jun 13, 2012
It's been hard to miss the hoopla over E. L. James's blockbuster erotic novel Fifty Shades of Grey, in which innocent Anastasia Steele falls for worldly billionaire Christian Grey and has a dominant/submissive sexual relationship with him.
The book – the first of a trilogy that includes Fifty Shades Darker and Fifty Shades Freed – is prominently displayed in bookstores, in one case with a rope around a poster that reads "bound to be a bestseller." Hundreds of fans line up at E. L. James's book signings. The trilogy's Facebook page has over 150,000 "likes."
Some libraries can't keep it on the shelves and have hundreds of patrons on waiting lists. Other libraries are refusing to carry the trilogy, saying the novels are too racy and inappropriate for their community.
Some readers feel embarrassed if caught by an over-the-shoulder lurker on the bus or train. Others are more openly exploring their options, purchasing sex toys. Even some hardware store are reporting increased sales of rope to curious customers.
Erotic literature is nothing new. "If you want to read steamy scenes, they've been in the library a long time," Kate Tranquada, director of the Waltham, Massachusetts Public Library, told the Boston Globe.
What might make E. L. James's trilogy different, however, is the attention it's giving to women's sexual health and the ideas of sexual exploration and fantasy.
Let's look at some ways the "Fifty Shades" series is affecting sexuality.
Starting Discussions
If anything, it seems that "Fifty Shades" is sparking more conversations about sex, especially among couples. Some of these discussions are happening for the first time, as Washington Post writer Carolyn Butler explains:
That was the case with one 40-something friend of mine, who recently confessed that after "devouring" the book, she and her husband had a frank sex talk for the first time "that was both exciting and embarrassing." She added: "I've never really thought about what I liked in the bedroom and certainly never felt comfortable talking about it, until reading this book, and I welcomed the opportunity.
Exploring Options
Even the more adventurous couples can face sexual boredom from time to time. Since reading Fifty Shades of Grey, some couples have started seeking ways to spice up their sex lives. Sex shops around the country have reported higher sales of sex toys, such as rope, handcuffs, and paddles. Babeland, a New York City sex shop, has started offering how-to classes based on the books, explaining the types of products available and how to use them.
And there could be interest in other classes. "We used to teach an introductory S & M class, but no one signed up. But I think we'll have to start that up again," Claire Cavanah, Babeland's co-founder, told The New Yorker.
Understanding Fantasy and Reality
Sexual fantasies are common, but do women fantasize about being submissive? Sometimes. As one woman at the Babeland class told The New Yorker, "All day, you know, we make decisions, about what to make for dinner and that kind of stuff, and it'd be nice if someone else made decisions about everything. In the bedroom, at least."
But does that mean they want to be submissive in real life? Probably not.
Many fantasies are just that – fantasies. They're not meant to be played out in real life. They're not always realistic or they could hurt someone. It's important that the individuals involved feel safe and comfortable with what happens in the bedroom.
Your Turn
Have you read any of the books in the "Fifty Shades" trilogy? What are your impressions? Why do you think the books are so popular?
Have they prompted you to have frank conversations about sex with your partner? Have you been trying anything new in the bedroom? And what do you think about the line between fantasy and reality?
Feel free to share your story in the comments.

Class L Girls Lacrosse: Fourth-seeded New Canaan hosts first-round game May 28
The New Canaan girls lacrosse team is the No. 4 seed in the Class L tournament and will host a first-round game on Tuesday, May 28, at Dunning Field.
The Rams (15-4) will face the winner of Saturday's playdown game between No. 13 Trumbull (10-6) and No. 20 Warde (7-9). New Canaan defeated Warde 13-3 back on April 18, but did not face Trumbull this season.
• Click here for the Class L bracket
With a win, the Rams would advance to the quarterfinals and host either No. 5 Simsbury or No. 13 Hall on Thursday, May 30.
The Darien Blue Wave are the No. 2 seed and are on the opposite side of the bracket, meaning if both they and the Rams advance, they would not meet again until the Class L final.
Darien is hosting a first-round game against either No. 15 Amity or No. 18 Southington, and could face No. 7 Ludlowe in the quarterfinals.
The Class L semifinals will be held on Monday, June 3, with the finals scheduled for Saturday, June 8 at Jonathan Law High School.

Monitoring your SSN, defending your youngster's character, and confirming an organization's authenticity before giving the individual data are some preventive measures against engineered personality misrepresentation. Combatting this wrongdoing, in any case, is an entirely unexpected game. You have to get the wrongdoing while it is occurring.
The extortion discovery arrangement that Simility gives is pointed precisely at that: nailing down infamous fraudsters from the get-go in the record enrollment process. Simility's propelled extortion discovery stage with the predominant AI model can obviously distinguish the peculiarities beginning from various sources to diminish counterfeit record recruits and catch engineered character misrepresentation and different violations continuously without making contact of other real clients fake identity
With brisk and simple coordination of important outsider information sustains, Simility help organizations precisely recognize counterfeit IDs utilized for account enlistments. This can include confirming email or private locations, telephone numbers, installment subtleties, Government managed savings numbers, or online life data against accessible certifiable characters. This outcomes in a progression of information and history of any new client to uncover fake and unscrupulous practices. Moreover, by observing records for high-hazard exchanges or session movement, Simility can unmistakably recognize sleeper accounts as they become dynamic.
Engineered wholesale fraud will be misrepresentation that includes the utilization of an imaginary character. Character cheats make new personalities utilizing a blend of genuine and manufactured data, or once in a while altogether imaginary data. Fraudsters utilize this imaginary personality to acquire credit, open store accounts and get driver's licenses and visas.
Regularly, fraudsters will utilize a genuine Government managed savings number (SSN) and pair it with a name not related with that number. Fraudsters look for SSNs that are not effectively being utilized, for example, those of kids and the perished. Sometimes, a personality fraudster may make a totally phony character with a fake SSN, name and address. This would be arranged as engineered character misrepresentation since there is no burglary included. For the motivations behind this article, manufactured data fraud or misrepresentation will be treated as the equivalent.
This kind of robbery has been rising as a significant extortion movement in the course of the last five to seven years. The size of the manufactured wholesale fraud business is evaluated to be in the billions every year crosswise over North America. As per CBC, month to month case volumes are in the thousands when contrasted with five years back, when they saw around 100 every month.
The exponential development of engineered wholesale fraud — and especially its effect on youngsters' personalities — will have troubling ramifications for youthful people later on. An investigation performed via Carnegie Mellon's CyLab discovered that youngsters' SSNs are multiple times bound to be utilized in a manufactured misrepresentation plot than those of grown-ups for the populace contemplated. While CyLab plainly expressed its discoveries couldn't be extrapolated to the overall public, the risk to kids is apparent.

- Rita Gross as Colleague and Collaborator
When this panel in honor of Rita was first listed in the AAR Annual Meeting program, I found myself listed as Rita's "colleague." This was accurate only in the broadest sense of the term "colleague." I have never worked on the same faculty as Rita or watched her teaching her students. A more appropriate description of my relationship to her would be "collaborator," and perhaps, for a time, mentor—although Rita never needed mentoring for very long. I coedited with Rita three editions of the volume Unspoken Worlds and was in frequent communication with her during the several years in which she chaired the AAR's Women's Studies Section.
I knew Rita best during a very early stage of both our lives' work when I was the one doing Buddhist studies and she was still a convert to Judaism, busily castigating every male scholar who had written about Australian Aborigines for their failure to recognize the secret and sacred religious practices of women. Many years later, by the way, I had the privilege of visiting the Pitjantjatjara cultural center at the Australian site called Uluru/Ayers Rock and discovered that Rita had been right on target with that criticism. The center's exhibits are full of references to women's important roles and practice, while the path to the women's sacred cave at the rock's base is clearly marked and barred to casual visitors.
Although I am well aware of Rita's contributions to women's studies in general, to Buddhist studies, and to the American Buddhist community, I shall leave those for others to discuss. I want to point to three aspects of her contributions that might otherwise be missed, because hardly anyone other than myself is aware of them. These are her initial critique, while still a graduate student, of our mutual field of study, History of Religions; her work with me in conceiving and editing Unspoken Worlds; and her work as AAR Women's Studies chair.
To me, it has been especially fitting that I was asked to discuss my collaboration with Rita at a panel convening in Atlanta. This is because it was at an AAR annual meeting in Atlanta that my link to Rita began—as did the constellation of circumstances that would make her a major force in women's studies. It was in 1971 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel. That year the annual meeting program held an announcement of a meeting for women scholars, scheduled within a room so tiny that many who [End Page 63] came could not get all the way in. I was one of those left standing in the doorway, craning my neck and trying hard to hear what was going on. That meeting planned a coup that challenged the AAR's previously all-male leadership. One of its decisions was to pack the annual business meeting with women. At that time AAR officers were elected at that meeting. A slate of nominees was presented, with the provision that additional nominations could be made from the floor. Normally very few members attended that business meeting. But this time the AAR women showed up in force, and then nominated and elected Christine Downing, the first AAR woman to become a line officer and therefore, in succession, an annual meeting program chair and AAR president. Rosemary Reuther of this panel was one of that coup's ringleaders. A second component of the original meeting, more relevant for Rita and myself, was establishment of a working group on women and religion, to begin its deliberations at the following year's annual meeting.
As I left that original meeting in its tiny room and walked into the Hyatt's immense central atrium, I heard a voice behind me: "Hello, Nancy." I turned and found myself looking at a young woman whom I could have sworn I had never seen before. She introduced herself—Rita Gross, a first-year student at Chicago when I had been a last-year student, preoccupied with exams, job interviews, and dissertation and oblivious to everything else—including the group of entering students. We sat down...

Self-efficacies are beliefs in one's capacity to perform specific actions and are important predictors for behaviors. Little is known about children's self-efficacies for health behaviors. This work aimed at developing a questionnaire to assess self-efficacies for 3 health behaviors in children ("not watching TV", "not drinking soft-drinks", "being physically active") and at exploring the relationships with actual health behaviors and overweight status. The resulting instrument assesses self-efficacies on 3 scales; answers were given on a 4-point scale. Confirmatory factor analysis revealed that the empirical data fit the model. 976 children within an overweight prevention study completed the questionnaire. Health behaviors were reported by themselves and by proxy (parents). Body height and weight were measured to define overweight status. Associations between self-efficacies and behaviors as well as overweight status are shown using logistic regression analyses. Self-efficacies were associated with self-reported TV- and drinking-behaviors and with parent-reported TV-, drinking- and activity-behaviors; high self-efficacies indicated more favorable behaviors. Effect sizes were very small and decreased with further adjustment for former behaviors, but were statistically significant. Additionally, self-efficacies were associated with overweight. Unexpectedly, high self-efficacies for drinking behaviors increased the chance of being overweight. A possible explanation could be some overlap of this scale with the experience of restrained eating that overweight children had made. Self-efficacies for health behaviors, especially for not watching TV and not consuming soft-drinks, can be assessed even in young children and contribute to the explanation of these behaviors. Thus, they should be further emphasized in health promotion programmes.

We discussed this some time ago, why erm doesn't a Dutch band has the oomfph which American and English bands have, They are very serious about what they do, but in Holland it's always… "rechtvaardig te maken wat je doet". You can put a kind of a cabaret around it to cover your emotions.
We discussed this some time ago, why erm doesn't a Dutch band has the oomfph which American and English bands have, They are very serious about what they do, but in Holland it's always… "rechtvaardig te maken wat je doet". You can put a kind of a cabaret around it to cover your emotions.
I know Hallo Venray's Henk Koorn likes scones. So does his partner Natasha van Waardenburg – co-owner of Sahara Studios, leader of Appie Kim and fellow band member of Deze. I know this because the pair of them wolfed down a whole load some years ago (aided by a fair amount of Beaujolais) at my house. It remained to be seen whether Melle de Boer liked scones and wine but he was going to get them anyway – to paraphrase Queen Victoria. Incendiary had invited Henk, Natasha and Melle round to the gaff to chat about Henk & Melle's marvellous LP Roodnoot; so why not dust off the baking tray, get the scone mix made and settle back with a cheeky glass of red?
Once settled comfortably, covered in crumbs & smeared in butter we started asking questions…
IN: I thought it sounded so much like a Dutch folk record almost a weird Dutch country record…
M: Why?
IN: Why did I think that? Well it was … rough… like a pirate record, tough. But it didn't feel smooth like those "classic" country records.
H: Not like a 1980's country record… out of the States… ah they're terrible. Ach shit this is the hardest part (Henk tries to keep the butter on the knife)… no, it's erm I can understand why you think that it (the record) has a kinda rough oppervlak… a rough surface.
IN: And lots of mini dramas, enclosed dramas too. Dutch tales too; the stories on your LP feel very Dutch.
H: That's because… maybe…. because we're Dutch!
(Everyone laughs)
IN: You add something different though.
M: I guess these are our own stories and yes we're Dutch so it's maybe that feel seeping through.
IN: What's the title about Roodnoot – "red nut"?
M: It's the name of the farm we recorded at.
N: The organization – the cultural set up – going on there is called Roodnoot. They get subsidised don't they?
M: I guess they are…
H: I'm sure they get subsidised because theatre groups have rehearsals there, there are stables there too with ponies and chicken (laughs) subsidised chickens… but they're theatre people and the stables are the big practise room.
N: They are very actorish, they are very "we are actors dear, blah blah blah"…
M: So it's not a musical environment.
IN: This is funny; you were surrounded by luvvies and livestock when you made this LP?
N: They weren't there all the time, but it felt as if they were because you could hear people walking in and out.
IN: Haunted?
H: Once there was a party the actors said "oh there's a party we're going" and we were in the next room and we heard lots of voices so we thought let's get out of here (laughs)…
M: And it was very, very cold.
H: It is an old house, it's got a riet dak, how do you say, a straw roof… and they are very rare now. It was very dusty too…
IN: That's the name Thatcher comes from… thatching roofs… English cultural lesson number one for today.
N: Shit I never put that together I knew what thatching was but I didn't twig… (silence) ahahaha did you hear what I said? (Natasha laughs at her own joke and drops her scone).
IN: Talking of sounds, remember recently at a radio session we did and you had me running around looking for stones and pebbles? Why?
N: It is the way it was recorded, the percussion you hear is Henk doing a stamping percussion with stones on the ground.
IN: Really?
M: Yup.
N: Outside on the gravel.There's also a little video of the song Greatest Living Poet where he's doing the recording and you see all the noises "in action" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFFb5st-TZ0&feature=related (including the gravel percussion)
H: If you listen closely you can hear the cars going by.
IN: Because it's a record that doesn't have any overdubs is that right?
H: Ach jawel… we sneaked some overdubs in there… but not many. After we came outta there we waited for months and then listened again and thought to ourselves, "what did we do in that week?" So after a listen we'd go, "Oh alright it's good enough to go further with it. So do we wanna keep it the way it is or is the sky the limit with the track in question?" And then we'd decide it doesn't matter we were gonna stick to the material but we're gonna do as many overdubs as we like. So sometimes we didn't do any and sometimes we did a few. Natasha added some bass, and we added some more vocals but we thought that the guitars were good anyway…
IN: there are lots of little noises lots of creaks and squeaks on the record, it's like when you walk into an old windmill and you hear the wood creaking and moving.
(More weird goings on here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nt0sIsNPyLA&feature=related)
IN: It reminded me of a time years ago when I went own to Zierikzee and visited this eighteenth century prison and there were all the prisoners' drawings on the wall and all you could hear was the sound of the sea and the creak of the old iron and wood… and what it's like in winter is anyone's guess.
N: Holy crap. That is scary. Well, this whole recording was built on ambient recordings, and taken from there.
H: A lot of squeaking…
….and creaking…
N: You should see the video, it's very atmospheric, and it gives a real flavour of the place http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i17dZBnhJEM (Chainsaw)
M: Songs about doors, songs actually about the noises…
IN: You whisper a lot on this record too, Melle, why is that? I put it in my review that you were like some guy with a bottle of Jenever whispering about his life… a private thing.
M: It's all very close mic'd.
H: Yeah, a lot was close mic'd, But it wasn't as if we chose to do that. You know, we just started the day writing songs, when we were done we started recording them, had some food and went on later in the day and not in an "ordeelend" manner.
IN: No pattern then.
H: No… we didn't think is it good enough to record? No. We just recorded it, got it down and carried on.
IN: Titian the great painter used to do that, he'd build up his compositions with a basic pallet and then turn them to the wall for months. Once he turned them around again he could see what needed to be changed.
H: Our mission was to produce a record in 6 days. Produce the songs, nail them down and then forget about them…
M: It is what it is, nothing else.
N: Good Dutch album title, "it is what it is" (laughs)… Don't argue with me!
IN: I really liked this I found this LP very short in a way it's a very enjoyable listen, especially when you do household chores, it's a domestic record. Are you doing it again?
H: Well we're gonna do an EP.
N: People's reactions are really good, so yeah.
IN: Journalists are I supposed to make things up so bear with me. I was talking to Marc from Spilt Milk, and I said to him "well you've got one end of this Dutch alt folk thing cleaned up and Henk & Melle have cornered the rest". I find this very much like a Dutch country sound.
H: That's true.
N: And look at all the bucks they make! (laughs)
H: We kinda covered the lofi range of country I would say. It sounds kinda strange that I say Spilt Milk is lofi because it sounds fantastic but still people say that is lofi, I don't know why…
N: Yeah because people are so quick to stick this lofi tag on things because it's underground "Oh that must be lofi".
IN: Lazy observers guide to music isn't it? Push something into a corner and don't let it escape; allow me to get some more wine… A very cheeky Médoc, Melle.
M: This is what I need; I need it to help me smile.
IN: Where were we oh yes the tyranny of lofi. Bequeathed on all bedroom music practitioners. Which is bollocks because…
N: NO ONE records lo fidelity! We make recordings on tape and people call it hi fi and we think, what the heck? (Laughs)
M: Daniel Johnston I think, he's lofi.
IN: Harry Merry is maybe lofi? Or is he crazy.
M: Is it an act or is he crazy?
IN: I once saw a film of Harry Merry where he's been collecting his toenails in jars.
H: I saw them on a festival and the first thing I thought was "that's a lot of drugs". The best act of the day and I really liked it, liked it a lot, but the band was drugged up.
N: I never see that. But he was the best act of the day. Maybe secretly Daniel Johnston thinks he's Michael Jackson whereas Harry Merry is Tom Stoppard, you know what I mean?
IN: You were talking about people's reaction s to this record. Is that why you made it, to get a reaction? Because you are both pretty established figures in your own way.
M: It's a good question. I guess, I guess the idea was there and we had a feeling that sum of us together could be more than what we are apart…
H: Because we like each other's work, we saw each other in the pub, you know? So we decided to do it in a way you don't do it with your own band. With the band it's more a process and one that starts to evolve and with Melle it (recording) was the most straight, direct way. With Melle that's the way it worked. We didn't have any thoughts that we were gonna make a great record, but we just were gonna do something; and even if nothing happens it's okay too.
IN: That's quite adventurous for Holland, people don't do that here really do they? They expect a polished record.
M: I think we didn't do what they expected. They thought I guess it would be more acoustic guitar singer songwriter thing, and it's more…
H: …uplifting than people were expecting, it's… cheeky.
IN: Yeah I agree! Another similarity with this and Spilt Milk is that the listener can easily imagine the bands enjoying it. Singer songwriters are all too often so bloody serious & precious!
M: It's a tough record.
H: Maybe… erm …this is why didn't we make a precious record? Because we didn't want to no crying shit (laughs).
M: But also there are a lot of self-reflecting lyrics on songs like Six Pack and I have songs that are also very… you know it's very easy to make it sad. We wanted to make them ironic.
IN: The songs are often are like stories… like Tom Waits does.
H: That's what I like, lyrics I can listen and follow and in the best case they surprise me at some point.
M: Not too poetic. Not word games really.
IN: I won't mention a band's name – a really good band I must say – but I once got hot under the collar about some of their lyrics, because there are too metaphorical and sweeping apropos of nothing: one lyric was "I won the war" and I was thinking what war have you won?, the price war at Hoogvliet?
N: What's that song with the line, "I catch a grenade for you"? That's a stupid lyric. Now why would you do that?
IN: If the pin's in maybe, otherwise no, I agree. But this vague bullshit is annoying.
H: Yeah, it is.
N: That's also a Dutch thing… when they take a sentence from English and just use it and you think "argh this makes no sense". And people sound so stupid doing it. The biggest problem I think is Dutch bands translating Dutch proverbs directly into English and it sounds stupid.
IN: My main bugbear. And it goes against the Dutch genius for encapsulating ideas in a clear and direct way, one of the forms of miniaturist art. "Eentje Quack" or 17th century still life painting, take your pick.
N: Yeah and I don't like the way people in the media react to things, everything has to have its place. Oh and I don't like cabaret in Holland. Everything has to be cabaret…
M: The comical duo; that's how they see us. We are seen as this pair of old funny guys…
N: When we played recently all these people were laughing I didn't think the jokes were that funny I just thought "they're only introducing songs!", and all these people were rolling about laughing.
IN: Establishing roles… The biggest problem that Dutch bands face is this expectation that they have to have an established & understood role in the scene; and also they are expected to stick & perform in a certain manner. I am officially bored of people saying "yeah but" about what bands should do in Holland. Or "Why can't"… Because – and I think the root problem is – people always want to make every act into a kind of cabaret act 'cos it's safe. THe genius of Frans Bauer, Johnny Jordaan & Tante Leen aside.
H: You're too serious then if you rebel.
N: Dutch people get very uncomfortable you know… when you can't put the greasepaint on…
H: We discussed this some time ago, why erm doesn't a Dutch band has the oomfph which American and English bands have, They are very serious about what they do, but in Holland it's always… "rechtvaardig te maken wat je doet". You can put a kind of a cabaret around it to cover your emotions.
N: I hate it when bands have to explain their work here; I hate that when Dutch bands have to say "This is only blah blah blah." But you're, (i.e. Henk), you're not excusing yourselves when you talk about your music, you just say it (laughs).
IN: I genuinely feel the Dutch feel very uneasy with their own type going mad or going out of control in front of them. There are acceptable ways of showing "whackiness" in Holland like with Go Back to the Zoo with that bloody stupid inflatable gorilla on the Lowlands stage…
N: Maybe that's the story behind a 3voor12 review we got; Dutch people are not comfortable with a band just behaving like a band, there was a gig we played we had a really nice night playing and we brought a lot of people, everyone was singing along and one reviewer said it didn't come across and I'm thinking why? What do we have to do? I had a sense that the reviewer didn't feel comfortable in this environment where everyone was having fun…
IN: Dutch people don't want to surrender themselves and be seen to be going too far & losing their perspective and then not being able to give judgement. After all this is a country of judges, that Cruyff quote… the Courts at the Hague.
…And that goes against art because on art in whatever expression there is often no answer.

Question: I don't know why everyone is giving [CBS's new John Goodman comedy] Center of the Universe such bad reviews. From the commercials I've seen, I'm looking forward to watching it. Brenda
Ausiello: Take it from someone who's seen the entire pilot and (just barely) lived to tell the tale: It's awful with a capital A-W. If I've learned anything during my 32 years obsessing over TV, it's that a decent promo campaign does not a good show make. Consider yourself warned. Again.


text: As part of my New Nexus adventure I plan on giving Project Fi an evaluation. I'll keep my Note II on VZW for a couple of months and get Project Fi on my new 6P. I plan on testing coverage vs. VZW by taking both phones out and comparing coverage. My Area is a heavy VZW area and both T-Mobile and Sprint show much less coverage away from the busy Highway and City corridors. For those of you going with Project Fi, would you be willing to perform a similar test to help the community out? A simple test really, Go where you know your current carrier has coverage, especially fringe areas and then see if Fi works there as well. Go to places where you know your coverage is weak or non-existent, see if Fi works there. Maybe a 30 day test and then we report our discoveries ?

My name is Jose Diaz, and I am one of the economists in Wilder Research conducting social return on investment analysis.
How many times have you been approached by a program leader asking you for an evaluation and just after a few minutes of talking you realize that the program does not have enough data for you to conduct the evaluation? You know that from this point on, it's a very slippery road; data collection takes time and is expensive, and the already small budget for evaluation that the program had just became tiny and insufficient to pay for the research. So, is it all lost or is there an alternative?
Our team faces scenarios like this one very often. In these cases we suggest to our clients a type of analysis we call prospective social return on investment. This type of studies use secondary data to reasonably argue that the program in question is achieving its outcomes; we can then compute economic benefits and costs from the effect sizes and other existing data. This is not a completely new idea; the Washington State Institute for Public Policy has been a pioneer using meta-analysis to conduct economic analysis.
Hot Tips: Here are some considerations when conducting prospective return on investment:
- Defining the logic model of the intervention during the preliminary stages of the analysis would significantly help the process.
- Not all outcomes can be monetized; but maybe not having the outcome may cause some costs to society.
- We always need to keep in mind what is the alternative we are measuring the outcome against; that is, what would be the characteristics and conditions of the target population in the absence of the program? Usually, the target population in the studies found in the literature reviews is not the same as the target population served by the program we are evaluating; so we need to define and describe the population to which we can apply the effect sizes found.
- Along the way we will need to make assumptions that may be crucial in the final results; being conservative and reasonable about these assumption is a always a good practice
Lesson Learned: The idea sounds good in theory but in practice the devil is in the details. Social return on investment (prospective or actual) is an exercise in persuasion as much as a research effort, so you need to be your own worst enemy. Be mindful of the meaning and scope of the estimations produced. If you won't, someone else will.

PnB Rock details the one place he does not wish to be.
PnB Rock may be a confident man, but that doesn't stop him from harbouring the occasional insecurity. For one, the artist seems to have a striking intolerance for being placed in "The Friend Zone," a fate that has befallen plenty of would-be wooers for generations. Evidently, PnB seems ready to dodge the zone entirely, as evidenced by his latest visuals for "ABCD (Friend Zone)." Taking to the porch for the home-field advantage, the bespectacled singer sets his sights on a young lady, and proceeds to move accordingly.
"Miss me with the friend zone," he sings, leaving some to wonder whether he ever had a chance of appearing there in the first place. In any case, it's hard to say if PnB is self deprecating enough to paint a narrative in which he goes home empty handed. Look to PnB Rock for inspiration the next time you feel like courtship is imminent.

OP's participle clause "Having nothing left to do , paula went home = Since paula had nothing left to do,she went home"
would the meaning not be different if i change it into "paula went home ,having nothing to do"? or it's my preference whether i precede it or not,right?
another example:" i gave him a bunch of flowers , thinking he will like me more" Does it euqual "thinking he will like me more , i gave him a bunch of flowers

De Hoop Coastal TrailEnquire Now
62km from Bredasdorp
-34.4613, 20.5774
+27 21 483 0190 www.capenature.co.za
Easy trail; Suitable for children.
De Hoop Nature Reserve is the jewel in the crown of CapeNature's properties and an absolute delight for hikers, mountain-bikers and nature-lovers. Three hours from Cape Town, it includes the De Hoop marine protected area, which extends three nautical miles (five kilometres) out to sea and is one of the largest marine protected areas in Africa. The reserve has 86 mammal species, including the rare bontebok and Cape mountain zebra, as well as eland, grey rhebuck, baboon, yellow mongoose, caracal and the occasional leopard.
The most famous hike in the reserve is the five-day Whale Trail but there are several shorter hikes, both inland around the vlei and along the coast. The most spectacular is the short but incredibly diverse coastal walk from Koppie Alleen, which follows the edge of shifting dunes, beaches and coastal cliffs to extensive rocky platforms with wonderful tidal pools.
From the parking area, follow the jeep tack down towards the beach. You'll see a road heading off left to the Koppie Alleen lodge, which is part of the exclusive De Hoop collection. On your right is the start of the huge shifting dunes, which make an awesome sundowner spot if the wind's not howling. Continue down past an ablution block onto the boardwalk at the bottom. You are now doing a portion of the last day of the Whale Trail in reverse. The boardwalk curves down to s a stunning white beach before cutting up over a rocky section on a second boardwalk.
You then come to a longer but even more beautiful beach on the other side of which the trail heads up onto some cliffs, affording awesome views over the bay. More than 100 southern right whales return to these sheltered bays to calve and mate between May and December every year and up to 50 have been recorded at a time.
Continue through a tiny section of fynbos, part of the world's smallest and most threatened plant kingdom, the Cape Floral Kingdom, then drop drown to the rocky platforms. The rock pools in this area are treasure troves, which you could explore for hours, but step carefully as they, and the organisms they support, are fragile. Return the way you came.
The reserve is open to day visitors from 7am to 6pm (7pm on Fridays) and, unless you have a Wild Card, there's an entry fee.
The Overberg is a region that's easy on the senses and pleasing to the eye. Its landscape is a tapestry of colours and meandering patterns, both natural and manmade.
The region forms a relatively small part of the Western Cape; it is mostly rural, and is blessed with stunning scenery and unique highlights. Its largest town, Hermanus, is said to provide the best land-based whale watching in the world. It also has exquisite beaches, including the blue flag Grotto Beach, and the nearby Hemel-en-Aarde Valley epitomises the majestic beauty of the region.
Across Walker Bay, the towns of Gansbaai and Kleinbaai are best known for shark cage diving to see great whites at the hotspot near Dyer Island.
L'Agulhas stands at the southernmost point on the African continent, and is the meeting point of the Indian and Atlantic Oceans.
The Overberg fauna and flora is protected in the Bontebok National Park, and its nature reserves include De Hoop, De Mond, Salmons Dam, Marloth, and the Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve. Staying with wildlife, the penguin colony at Stony Point in Betty's Bay is also a tourist favourite.
Swellendam and the small mission towns of Genadendal and Elim are amongst the Overberg's historic icons. Others that are popular with visitors are Greyton, Stanford, and Napier.
In summer the farmlands are dominated by shimmering shades of brown, the fields stripped of their winter crops and the bare earth ploughed into meandering combed patterns dotted with tightly compressed wheels of straw awaiting collection. Labourers' cottages hunker down beneath old blue gums and on a cold day smoke drifts from their chimneys.
Throughout the year the early morning and late afternoon sun accentuates the sensual curves of the ridges wreathed in fynbos. When the winter rains return, the undulating, sometimes tiered fields shrug off their brown and slip into the vibrant greens of wheat, barley, and oats, and the brilliant yellow of the iconic canola. On still, sultry mornings, blue cranes, South Africa's national bird, float overhead craaaaaaking as they go.
The coastline is punctuated by long sweeping bays and rocky outcrops that fringe the southern boundary of this landscape. Here one can spend hours sitting on the white sand, being mesmerised by the eternal activity of the sea.
Add to this a scattering of charming inland villages; locally produced beer, cheese, and wine; lighthouses, bird watching, and wonderful food, and it becomes evident why one needs plenty of time here.
Look out for
Southern-most tip of Africa - at L'Agulhas, which is also the official meeting point of the Indian and Atlantic Oceans.
Shark cage diving - near Gansbaai there are several operators who do trips daily out to the Great Whites' favourite hunting grounds near Dyer Island.
Whale watching - the Overberg offers great land-based and boat-based whale watching (best between July and November).
Beaches - the Overberg beaches are amongst the finest in South Africa. They include the longest beach in the southern hemisphere - at 14km - which curves along the coast at Struisbaai.
Swellendam - is the third-oldest magisterial district in South Africa. At the base of the Langeberg Mountains on the N2 highway the town has an array of historic buildings including the Drostdy Museum.
Hermanus - On the coast in the west of the region. It is the largest town in the Overberg and popular with visitors all year round. It's especially well known for its superb land-based whale watching.
Hemel-en-Aarde Valley - near Hermanus - this scenic area produces a range of wines and is known for its Pinot Noir.
Bontebok National Park - The smallest of South Africa's National Parks, it not only protects the fauna within its boundaries but also endangered flora in the fynbos biome. In addition to the bontebok, the park is also home to Cape mountain zebra, red hartebeest, grey rhebuck, and Cape grysbok as well as 200 bird species. There are hiking and mountain-biking trails and fishing and swimming in the Breede River. The accommodation and campsite are situated at Lang Elsie's Kraal amongst a riverine thicket of trees and aloes near the banks of the Breede River. This consists of 10 self-catering chalets with wheel chair access, and caravan and camping sites. There are also picnic spots with braai and ablution facilities for day visitors.
De Hoop Nature Reserve - Each year between June and November whales return to the rugged coastline of this 34 000 hectare reserve near Bredasdorp to breed. During this time the marine reserve supports 40% of the world's Southern Right whale population. Although these may be the drawcard for many visitors there is much more in the line of nature-based activities for the visitor. Lowland fynbos is the dominant vegetation throughout the reserve and this supports bontebok, Cape mountain zebra, grey rhebuck, eland, and baboon, as well as many smaller mammals. It's a great destination for 'twitchers', with the De Hoop vlei attracting a large number of water birds and pushing the recorded species to an impressive total of 260. Besides being able to walk anywhere in the reserve there are several day hikes and the popular 5-day whale trail. Accommodation options are varied from cottages and rondawels to restored houses and neat camping and caravan sites amongst the milkwood trees. Most accommodation is around what is known as Die Opstal near the fresh water vlei and park reception.
Wines - The region has some top class wineries that offer tasting and sales.

A guy at PAX East hooked up his laptop to one of the demo computers running Breach, an upcoming FPS from Atomic Games, and tried to copy off the game. He made fairly minimal progress before being caught and arrested, but this sort of thing makes gaming companies insane, as hard as they work to avoid having their titles leaked early.
At PAX East 2010, a man reportedly attempted to steal the code for Breach, the new multiplayer shooter from Atomic Games. A man had been seen hanging around the Breach booth on the show floor with a laptop. He was confronted by Atomic quality assurance members before running away and being caught.
David Tractenberg, a PR representative speaking on Atomic's behalf, told Joystiq that the man had copied around 14MB of the 2GB game to his laptop before being caught.
…Blizzard Entertainment does not allow laptops on the show floor at its own BlizzCon fan convention as it allows the public to play early versions of its upcoming games like StarCraft 2 and Diablo 3. Don't be surprised if you can't bring your laptop into PAX 2010 or PAX East 2011.
That's not actually true about BlizzCon, as you can see in the show FAQ. (Scroll down.)
General attendees will not be able to bring desktop computers, laptops, and electronic storage devices into the BlizzCon exhibit halls. Please leave these devices in your car, at home, or at your hotel. Members of the media who have a press badge will be able to bring a laptop onto the show floor.
If anyone wondered why Blizzard had rules like this in place, now you know. I can confirm that they do check; I had security officers eyeball my press pass every time I went through the bag check last year, when heading down to the show floor with my laptop to live-blog or type notes on the Diablo 3 panels.

Android is generally much cheaper and they work. You have to figure out which brand, model and level of stuff you need out of hundreds of possibilities. Apps for Android are up to you.
Apple iPhones are generally rock solid and dependable as well as expensive. The Apple App Store verifies Apps before listing them.
My wife has had 2 Blackberries and any number of Andrioid phones since 2007. I lost count of her Android phones not measuring up or crapping out, she's getting a new phone every 18 months. I've been using iPhones since a 3S legacy phone was gifted to me. I've had 3 iPhones since, 1 a used 4S and 2 purchased since. The 3 newer iPhones sill function.

I had an Apple, and Android cell phone. Currently I own an Android cell phone, and I am going to be buying another Android cell phone. I ended up buying 2 Android cell phones in my entire life, and the third cell phone I buy is going to be Android.
I also prefer Android too.

It's February and American Heart Month. Although many people may have given up on their New Year's resolutions to eat better this year, Lightsey Jett, registered dietitian nutritionist with Palmetto Health-USC Orthopedic Center, says little improvements can go a long way.
Jett wants to remind you of some Health.gov recommendations on how to use smoothies to help you with your goals.
Some benefits of smoothies include:
Jett adds a word of caution to this recommendation. She says, "Although smoothies have many benefits, be aware that they can become high calorie quickly. It is important to monitor the quantity of calorie dense ingredients like peanut butter, avocados, sweetened milks like chocolate milk, vanilla almond milk and 100% fruit juices. Avoid use of ice creams, syrups and sugar-sweetened fruit juice; always check the calorie and sugar content of ingredients; and use measuring spoons and cups to keep portions of ingredients reasonable."

Both former civil servant Chee Hong Tat, 41, and real estate corporate chief Chong Kee Hiong, 49 - two out of three new faces on the slate - hope their "local expertise" will help them be better MPs.
The third new face is Maybank economist Saktiandi Supaat, 41.
Mr Chong, who lives in a semi-detached house in Bishan East, told reporters yesterday that his regular meals in the neighbourhood have yielded valuable feedback from residents. "Informal chit-chat sessions at the coffee shop are as important as Meet-The-People sessions or formal settings," he said.
He has been shadowing former deputy prime minister Wong Kan Seng for more than two years in the Bishan East division. Yesterday, Mr Wong described Mr Chong as a man with "strong values and a heart for the less well-off, having come from a humble family".
Mr Chee, who lives in a Bishan North condominium, expressed his delight at being fielded in his constituency: "I've a fond attachment to this place - this is my home and I would like the opportunity to serve the residents here."
Mr Chee was introduced as a candidate a day after he officially left his post as Second Permanent Secretary for the Trade and Industry Ministry, and will replace two-term MP Hri Kumar Nair on the GRC slate.
The father of four is seen as a potential minister if he is elected, but Mr Chee waved aside talk about his possible future in the Cabinet. His focus for now, he said, is on serving residents, and he wants to see changes such as having more exercise corners for the elderly.
The third new face, Mr Saktiandi, lives in Pasir Ris but has been volunteering in Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC for the last three years. He replaces three-term MP Zainudin Nordin on the slate.
"Toa Payoh has a rich history, with many interesting heritage sites," he said. "There are a lot of elderly folk who have been staying here for the longest time, and the people here are close-knit. The ward is not short of the 'gotong royong' spirit."
Defence Minister Ng Eng Hen and Senior Minister of State for Finance and Transport Josephine Teo will round up the PAP's five-member slate for the GRC.
Dr Ng said he welcomed the challenge from a joint opposition team of the Singapore People's Party and Democratic Progressive Party.
He said: "Bishan-Toa Payoh residents are very savvy. They have witnessed many elections since this town was built and they are not easily enamoured of, or easily gulled by, platitudes or aspirations.
"They vote from enlightened self-interest and that's indeed how they should. And the party that convinces the voters here that it can best take care of them will win their support."
Caring, inclusive society his goal
Chee Hong Tat, 41
Occupation: Former senior civil servant. His last post was second permanent secretary in the Ministry of Trade and Industry.
Family: Married to a 41-year-old housewife. They have a son, 15, and three daughters, 12, nine and four.
Education: Bachelor of Science in electrical engineering and computer science, and Bachelor of Arts in economics from the University of California at Berkeley
Hobbies: Travel, reading and jogging
Why politics?
Going into politics is not an easy decision. I have four young children and my wife and I were concerned about how this will affect our family and the time I have with them.
I eventually managed to persuade my wife to support my decision. I explained that we are at a very critical juncture of our nation's development. And this is a time when we need people who can contribute to step forward.
Why you?
I have useful experience in the civil service and community work. I volunteer with Score (Singapore Corporation of Rehabilitative Enterprise) where I help inmates, provide training for them and help them look for work after their release from prison.
So there are areas where I can make use of my past experience, both from the civil service and also from my community work, to benefit residents of Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC.
What issues will you focus on?
I would like to see a caring, inclusive, harmonious society because it is the necessary criteria that will hold us together as a country.
Favourite spot in Singapore?
Toa Payoh West Market (in Toa Payoh Lorong 1) because it is very vibrant and has many famous hawker stalls. We have Tian Tian Lai Hokkien Mee, we have Chey Swa Carrot Cake, we have famous handmade Teochew bao... There is also a range of shops nearby: acupuncture, a Chinese medicine hall, clinics. It is a vibrant HDB heartland.
Charissa Yong
'A platform to do more for people'
Chong Kee Hiong, 49
Occupation: Chief executive of OUE Hospitality Reit Management
Family: Married to a housewife, 46. They have four sons aged between nine and 17.
Education: Bachelor of Accountancy from the National University of Singapore
Hobbies: Jogging, soccer, golf
Why politics?
I have been involved in charity fund-raising, social enterprise and the labour movement.
I am chairman of NTUC Foodfare, which provides low-cost meals for the low-income.
I've also had two years in the grassroots, as vice-chairman of the Citizens Consultative Committee for Bishan East.
Going into politics gives me a different, bigger platform to do more for people. You can help to shape policies by gathering feedback on how policies affect people on the ground.
Why you?
I feel my private sector experience (is a plus). I've spent time working with people from all levels, nationalities and cultures and I've been in the hospitality industry for 15 years. I think this will be very useful on the ground when I interact with residents.
What issues?
The key role I want to play is to understand how policy impacts the ground. You can't change the policy for an exception. But if more and more people have the same issues with a policy, then you know the policy does not benefit the majority. That's when you give feedback and say, it has to change. If not, tell us why it cannot change.
Favourite spot in Singapore?
Bishan Park, as it's good for relaxing and exercise, both on my own as well as with my family.

'To be a voice for the less fortunate'
Saktiandi Supaat, 41
Occupation: Executive vice-president and head of foreign exchange research at Maybank
Family: Married to a senior child welfare officer, 41. They have a daughter, 12, and two sons aged eight and five.
Education: He has a Bachelor of Commerce (Honours) from the University of Melbourne, and a Master of Business Administration from Cambridge University
Hobbies: Photography, reading and rugby
Why politics?
I have been involved in community work since 2004.
In 2009, I started my grassroots work, helping at Meet-The-People sessions.
I also sit on various advisory boards, like the Central Provident Fund Advisory Panel which recommended the CPF changes that were implemented this year.
I realised during these stints that there are many people who fall through the cracks. I want to help plug these gaps in policy, and bring up the problems of the less fortunate in Parliament.
Why you?
As an economist, I travel around South-east Asia for work, so I think I bring a global perspective to the table.
I believe I also have the necessary skills to assess economic policies.
What issues will you focus on?
A lot has been done for Institute of Technical Education and diploma holders, but I'd like to see more being done to ensure they have jobs and face fewer difficulties in looking for a job.
I also think more can be done for singl parents, especially unwed mothers.
Favourite spot in Singapore?
Wherever my kids like to go, that's my favourite place.
At the moment, they like the playground at Paris Ris Park, near where we live.

Objective: To demonstrate the properties of air when it is warmed.
Standards: Structure of the Earth System (atmospheric composition and properties at different elevations), Energy in the Earth System (heating of Earth's surface and atmosphere drives weather and ocean currents; convective circulation), Properties of Objects and Materials (object properties: temperature), Transfer of Energy (energy types, characteristics, and transfer properties; heat flows from warmer objects to cooler until equilibrium is reached), Structure and Properties of Matter (properties of gases), Light, Heat, Electricity, and Magnetism (ways to create heat – what is conduction?), and Conservation of Energy and Increase in Disorder (heat consists of random vibrations and motion of atoms and molecules).
Materials: a large, empty plastic pop bottle with its cap.
(1) Wet the cap of the pop bottle.
(2) Place the cap upside down on the top of the bottle.
(3) Lightly put your hands around the bottle.
(4) Hold the bottle but do not squeeze it.
Science Behind It: The cap will eventually "jump" or pop off of the bottle. This happens because when your hands are placed around the bottle, they cause the air inside the bottle to be warmed. As the air warms, the molecules of the air expand, and begin vibrating at a higher rate in an attempt to leave the bottle. The wet cap serves as a seal to the bottle at first, but eventually as the air becomes warmer and warmer, some of it will escape or vibrate against the cap so much that it causes the cap to "move" or fall off the bottle.

Growing Elk Herd Raises Worries in Central Washington
Politicians and residents are discussing ways to mitigate the risks posed by the 6,500-strong Colockum elk herd between Ellensburg, Wenatchee, and the Columbia River. About 60 elk were killed on the road by vehicles last winter, and some have damaged hay bales and irrigation lines on nearby ranches. Possible solutions include new elk-proof fences and expanding hunting.

I remember the first time I killed a pig. It was my 23rd birthday and I had been living in Portrero Ybate for 10 months. Portrero Ybate is a small village in Paraguay where I served as a Peace Corps Volunteer. When I killed the pig, I was not only celebrating my birthday Paraguayan style, I was also celebrating a turning point in my service. I finally felt as though I was succeeding in my struggle to become fluent in an indigenous language, accepted in the community I was assigned, and a valued technical resource in subtropical forestry and agriculture. I had never been so challenged as I had those first ten months and I had never felt so satisfied as I had that night, as I shared beer and barbecued pig with my Paraguayan friends and neighbors.
Joining the corps">Peace Corps was a chance for me to explore a lifestyle completely different from the urban, academic experience in which I had spent the previous four years. I remember discussing issues of third world deforestation and resource exploitation in a graduate seminar. I was in a room representing the standard of living of less than one percent of the world's population and we were debating problems that affected people living in a cycle of poverty of which we had no comprehension. I didn't want to talk about people, I wanted to talk with them. I needed a new perspective. I wanted something real. I wanted to work in the fields with a hoe and a machete, to read Ulysses by candlelight, to throw myself in a situation so unfamiliar it would be sink or swim. Learn and adapt, or be miserable for two years in a hut 2,000 miles away from home with no TV.
The first several months were as difficult as I expected. Living without electricity quickly lost its romanticism. My biggest frustration, however, was my inability to communicate with the people I wanted to get to know. Regardless of what the Encyclopedia Britannica might say, rural Paraguayans do not speak Spanish. They speak Guarani, an indigenous language with 12 vowels that bears no resemblance to English. I was challenged and intrigued. In the mornings I went into the field with farmers, talking and honing my skills with a hoe, all the while synthesizing what I had learned about sustainable agriculture with the traditional slash and burn farming that was currently practiced. During the 110? siesta, while every other living thing slept, I sweated away in my hut, studying the Guarani dictionary and grammar book provided by Peace Corps. In the evenings I would practice my new vocabulary, visiting farmers, talking about whatever I could think of. Each day brought something new, and as the months passed, I found myself participating in conversations in a language that had only three months before sounded like a series of grunts.
Communication led to understanding. Problems arose and I found solutions. As I became fluent, I realized that language was not the only barrier I had to cross. Even though I could speak Guarani, no one would believe anything I had to say about agriculture because I didn't know the difference between spring and summer corn. Ultimately, a gringo cannot tell someone who has been farming their whole life anything about how to improve the sustainability of their fields. A farmer needs to talk to a farmer. So I took field trips. I found progressive farmers in the area and linked them with interested farmers in my

FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Three people were injured when a Southwest Airlines flight experienced turbulence Tuesday, but the airplane landed safely at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, an airline spokesman said.
A passenger and two flight attendants reported injuries and were examined by paramedics at the airport, said Chris Mainz, an airline spokesman. The passenger was examined and released, while the flight attendants decided to go to a local hospital after paramedics did not find any injuries, Mainz said.
The Southwest Airlines flight 1527 was on its way from Tampa to Fort Lauderdale with 76 passengers and five crew members aboard, Mainz said.

Is it, or isn't it?
Strange memories abounded when I came across this now infamous Sears ad from 1975.
Suburban housewives all across the country beamed with various degrees of muted laughter as they called and told their friends to "Look at the new Sears catalog on page 602." Sure enough, there it was…just to the left of item #6. Those women who took time from their domestic chores to peek at the mystery were rewarded with a familiar sight indeed! Familiar? Well, these women lived through the end of the Baby Boom you know.
Air Force photo analysis sections were much too busy dealing with Cold War reconnaissance imagery to settle the dispute once and for all, so the mystery continued.
The question that remains is did clever corporate advertising wonks deliberately place "it" in the photo to seduce women (who were the purchasers of the family's clothing) into becoming loyal Sears customers? We'll never really know, but I suspect that many a Patio kid chafed against crisp new Sears underwear elastic for years to come.
