In many industrial applications drives need to be monitored for rotational speed or standstill. In potentially explosive atmospheres, speed sensors are used to safely detect standstill, overspeed and underspeed of drives or belt break on conveyors.
The compact speed monitors of the DI series integrate rotational speed detection and monitoring in one unit. The sensor head operates using inductive sensing principles. The sensor detects metal actuating surfaces on rotating machine parts, e.g. on toothed wheels or camshafts. The integrated evaluation converts this information into rotational speed.
The target speed is set easily via potentiometer or pushbutton on the unit.
The units can be used in zone 22 (non-conductive dusts) according to group II, category 3D.

From CNN:
(CNN) -- The lead singer of the metal band As I Lay Dying has been arrested and charged with seeking to have his wife killed, the San Diego County Sheriff's Department said.
Authorities said Tuesday that Tim Lambesis tried to contract an undercover detective posing as a killer for hire to murder his estranged wife, who lives in Encinitas, California.
Arraignment was set for Thursday afternoon at North Division Court in Vista.
The department said it learned on May 2 that Lambesis, 32, had asked someone to carry out the killing and an investigation was initiated.
The investigation culminated Tuesday afternoon, "when Lambesis solicited an undercover detective to kill his wife," it said. He was arrested without incident at a business in Oceanside and taken to the Encinitas Station and booked into the Vista Detention Facility.
Last September, Meggan Lambesis filed with San Diego Superior Court to have the marriage dissolved.
The band issued a statement Wednesday through its record label, Metal Blade, to its fans saying: "As we post this, the legal process is taking it's course and we have no more information than you do.
There are many unanswered questions, and the situation will become clearer in the coming days and weeks. We'll keep you informed as best we can.
"Our thoughts right now are with Tim, his family, and with everyone else affected by this terrible situation."
As I Lay Dying was nominated in 2008 for a Grammy Award for best metal performance. During the decade since it was formed, the band has released seven studio albums and a live CD, according to its website.
Asked last year in an interview with HardNoise Online Radio about how his time on the road affected his home life, Lambesis said, "If there was a way to be home but still make a living playing music, I would do that in a heartbeat.
"But the catch is that, as a profession, this is what I'm passionate about. And then my personal life, what I'm passionate about is my loved ones back home. So, you know, those two have a conflict with each other. The only thing I can do is find a balance where, if I am gone a month on tour, then I find a month to be home and just kind of even it out that way."
Asked in January about whether his group was a Christian metal band, he told NoiseCreep that the band had decided not to discuss "the spiritual topic" so that listeners would focus on their music.
"We didn't preach at our shows, our goal has always been to just write the best music we can write," he said. "Of course religion has some influence on the things that we write about just like all of our life experiences do but as a band, we want to be judged on the music rather than what our personal beliefs are."

This is an open letter to Irish Voice columnist April Drew who is moving back home to Ireland with her lovely family. You have probably heard good and bad stories from people who have already made the move, so I thought I would write about the experience my family had when we moved.
"Home" will never be the same as when you left it. People told me before we moved back that when you leave and return after being away that it is never the same, but I kept thinking they were wrong, that I was the same fella who left back in 1987.
But take it from me and my family. Ireland is not and never will be the same for you.
I moved here in 1987. I married and was blessed with two beautiful kids. We all moved back to my hometown in the Limerick countryside in 2007.
We had a four-bedroom house built on a one acre site with the three acres that we bought next door at a considerable price. We shipped home everything, from knives and forks to lawnmowers, power washers, tools, furniture, toys and even a large swing set that you would not see in most playgrounds at home.
I worked in landscaping here for 20 years. When I moved back I could not get a job landscaping. I was told I was too experienced, even when I said I would start at the bottom and work up.
I eventually got a job from a paving company for €100 a day. I did all the digging, lifting and whatever else was needed – 11 hours a day including travel.
But business got slow and I was let go. I got another job – I'm not allowed to say where because I had to sign a form – but let's say that my life was threatened by addicts many times, so I had to leave the job.
We decided to move back to the U.S. in 2009. We are so glad we did.

For the two years we were home we had three barbeques. We would look at our swing set and wonder if we would ever get a chance to let the kids play on it because of the miserable weather. Our son has asthma, and I was not going to take him or his sister out in the damp, cold rain.
I landscaped our house, put in a large patio, built steps to match the patio and fenced in the whole place. It looked beautiful. We had the most amazing views from our elevated site – but it just wasn't the same.
We are so happy back here in the U.S. – our home. Our kids are involved in so many activities and have so many friends and playdates. I wish my car ran on water.
When we were home people looked at us like we were rich Yanks, and some even called us that.
People said they would stop over but they never did – they just kept doing their own thing.
I used to do side jobs on the weekends to make ends meet, and I was called a money-hungry Yank. I did this to pay all of our mounting bills.
We got to go out once every other month because of the expense between a sitter, taxis and drink money. We were better off at home watching The Late Late Show.
I could write a book about our two years back in Ireland – the speed on the roads, not feeling safe in your own home if someone comes late at night, the health system, etc.
April, I am not telling you not to move back, but I just wanted you to know about the very costly mistake we made. Best wishes to you.

Printer, Political Candidate Headed to Court Over Bill
SNOW HILL, MD—An unpaid printing bill stemming from a failed bid for the Worcester County state's attorney post is now in the court system. Beau Oglesby faces a breach of contract suit for more than $5,700 in printing charges with Berlin, MD-based ACE Printing & Mailing, The Daily Times reported. At question is whether the print work was actually a campaign contribution or a billable job.
In the complaint filed by Thomas Gulyas of ACE, he claims that, in 2006, Oglesby ordered nearly $13,500 worth of letters, envelopes, postage and processing for 22,500 campaign mailers. The balance remaining on the account is $5,746.73, according to the complaint.
Oglesby contends, according to the Times, Gulyas talked him into hiring ACE for the job and sold him on a larger mailing campaign with the promise that $6,000 in added printing and mailing costs would be viewed as a campaign contribution from Gulyas and his wife. Oglesby told the paper that a year later, Gulyas asked to be paid the additional $6,000.
Oglesby, who is running for the same office in November, said he will repay the $6,000 and noted that the lawsuit was politically motivated. Gulyas is publicly endorsing Oglesby's opponent, incumbent Joel Todd, in this year's election. According to the Times, Oglesby lost by 14 votes to Todd in 2006.
"The real issue is, why did he wait four years to file a lawsuit?" Oglesby told the Times.
Gulyas noted that he has been "more than patient" in waiting four years to get paid.

Welcome to the Next Level Workshop, my online school of writing. My name is Barbara Rogan, and my entire career has been spent in publishing: as a literary agent, an editor, and an author. My eight novels have been published in the U.S. by Simon & Schuster, Doubleday, Morrow, and NAL, and have been translated into a dozen languages. I've taught fiction writing courses at Hofstra University and SUNY Farmingdale, but most of my teaching is now done online at Writers Digest online school and in my own Next Level Workshop.
The Next Level Workshops are courses for aspiring and published fiction writers devoted to advancing their work by improving their mastery of the craft. I believe there is no better way to sell your stories than to make the stories better. My students have included writers working on their first novels and published authors determined to keep growing. I teach fiction writers in all genres, including young adult and short stories. I lead all workshops myself and keep the numbers small to ensure that each student receives my full attention.
I also offer individual consultations to writers who have a completed manuscript and want either a professional evaluation with editing guidelines or a full-fledged edit. Working with a professional editor entails a serious commitment of time and money, and it can be difficult to know in advance what you're getting. Is the fit right? Does the editor's advice resonate, or does it lead you in a direction you never intended to go? For help making that decision, please see my special get acquainted offer.
I invite you to explore this site: hear from former students, read about the workshop, learn more about my background and my books. To be notified of upcoming writing courses or explore the possibility of a manuscript evaluation,contact me and I'll gladly get back to you. Thanks for stopping by.

text: Wellness Health & Well-being 6 Ways to Boost a Child's Immune System By Sami Grover Writer The University of Hull University of Copenhagen Sami Grover is a writer and self-described "environmental do-gooder," now advising community organizations. our editorial process Twitter Twitter Sami Grover Updated July 24, 2019 It's fun and good for you. Stone36/Shutterstock Share Twitter Pinterest Email Wellness Health & Well-being Clean Beauty The immune system is our body's first line of defense when it comes to fighting off diseases and infections. Given how regularly our little ones seem to come home with a runny nose (or worse), it would be nice if we could give their immune systems a helping hand. And maybe we can. Below are six suggestions that may help boost a child's natural defenses. Breastfeed Studies have shown that breastfeeding provides crucial support for a child's immune system. In addition to providing immediate protection against GI and respiratory diseases, a review of research by Kelly M Jackson and Andrea M. Nazar in the Journal of the American Osteopathic Association suggests that because breastfeeding also promotes immune system development, it may provide significant health benefits well into adulthood too. Play in the dirt Dirt has become an, ahem, dirty word. Yet children need to be exposed to dirt in order for their immune systems to fully develop as they should. Children who grow up on farms, for example, or who are raised around pets, tend to exhibit lower rates of asthma and other respiratory diseases. Gardening can also help give your immune system a lift. Sharyn Clough of the University of Oregon has even suggested that the socialization of girls to be neat and tidy may be a factor in higher rates of allergies among women than men. Exactly why exposure to dirt is beneficial remains a topic of much debate, but researchers suggest that a combination of factors may be at play. On the one hand, exposure to trace amounts of pathogens can give the immune system a workout, on the other, exposure to the outdoors may mean children come into contact with more potentially beneficial microorganisms that can support their bodies' own cells in fighting infection. It goes without saying that anyone who is already immunocompromised should seek medical advice before exposing themselves to dirt or other potential sources of infection. Sleep more As if we needed more reasons to encourage our children to sleep... Research published in Nature by Penelope A. Bryant, John Trinder and Nigel Curtis suggests that there is a "reciprocal relationship between sleep and immunity." And because sleep is a learned behavior that we carry on into adulthood, it makes sense that teaching your child the importance of getting enough sleep will benefit them later in life. Eat sour milk The immune system used to be thought of like a defensive army — fighting off any invaders that dared to cross its borders. As our understanding of our bodies has improved, however, we've learned that we are literally teaming with foreign microbes, many of which work in symbiosis with our bodies' own cells to perform vital functions such as digestion of food or transfer of nutrients. This paradigm shift has led some to speculate that "live" foods, which are already cherished in many traditions as health-giving, may help boost our inner biodiversity. Fermented milk products like kefir and yogurt, for example, have been shown to offer health benefits including improving lactose digestion and preventing antibiotic-associated diarrhea. Research into sauerkraut has revealed enzymes and microbes, which may aid digestion, and even isothiocyanates, which may prevent the growth of cancer cells. It is, however, early days for research into the health benefits of live foods, and they are by no means a magic bullet. Many researchers warn against putting too much faith in some of the wilder claims being made by advocates until further studies can be carried out. Don't pressure doctors for antibiotics Antibiotics are a remarkable gift and have doubtless saved many lives. The routine use of antibiotics, however, may be leading us into trouble. The problem of drug-resistant bacteria is already one good reason for exercising moderation in the use of these medicines, with a strong case being made that it is our collective responsibility to reduce the routine use of antibiotics both in health care and farming in a collective effort to reduce the risk of superbugs. But this isn't just a question of the common good. Studies have also linked childhood use of antibiotics by individuals with a significantly increased risk of allergic asthma later in life. Eat more fruits and vegetables Hurst Photo/Shutterstock Of all the ways we can boost our body's immune system, eating a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables remains among the most important.Whether it's the vitamin C in your oranges or leafy green vegetables, or the antiseptic properties in garlic, if your child eats a broad range of plant-based foods, you will likely be giving their immune system a healthy jump start. And while health food stores may be clamoring to sell you the latest infant probiotic with wild claims for immune system improvements, the "elixir" may be a lot more accessible and closer to home than you might think. As detailed in a recent article by Michael Pollan in the New York Times, it's been shown that a diet rich in a variety of whole grains, raw vegetables and less cooked foods (al dente pasta, for example) promotes fermentation in the lower intestine, which in turn is a key function for encouraging healthy gut microbes. Ultimately, there is no one answer to an improved immune system. And the ideas presented here should not be considered an alternative to medical treatment. But pursuing a well-rounded lifestyle rich in exercise, sleep, good food and an enjoyment of the great outdoors seems as good a place as any to start. It also sounds like a whole lot of fun.

Just Cause developer Avalanche Studios, who last week announced it was developing a new AAA title at its New York studio, is "pretty sure" that we'll be seeing the next Xbox or PlayStation on store shelves by 2014.
"We obviously talk to everybody, and everybody talks to us," he said. "We have some intelligence to go on that, by early 2014, we're pretty sure there'll be at least one next-generation console on the market," said David Grijns, managing director of Avalanche Studios New York, in an interview with Edge.
Does this mean Avalanche Studios' unannounced game is being developed specifically for the next generation of consoles? "When we say 'next-gen' in the press release, it's really a reference to what we think the market will look like then," he added. "Anyone who says they know what the market is going to look like three years from now is just blowing smoke.
"Whatever happens, we feel very confident that we'll be ready for it," Grijns added.
Regardless of this belief in better technology, Grijns emphasised that the industry doesn't need to focus on better visuals. "I don't think the industry needs better-looking games: I think it needs better games," he said.
"What is more interesting is the ways that developers and publishers can find new ways of designing games - and more interesting gameplay and distribution models - rather than better-looking games."
Avalanche's next game is the digital downloadable Renegade Ops this summer, which VideoGamer.com thinks brings the spirit of Jungle Strike to 2011.

Model: Quantum
The new Quantum body composition scale from American Weigh allows you view a complete breakdown of your body fat, water, muscle, and bone. The scale works on the principle of BIA (Bio Impedance Analysis). By passing a safe electrical current through your body via the metal contacts and using weight, height, and age data, your lean/fat-free body mass is calculated. This is then subtracted from your body weight to obtain body fat mass.
Note: Although the scale uses a safe electrical current, those with pacemakers or other electronic implants should not use this scales body fat feature.

|Country Of origin:
|United States of America
Since the 1970s, Jimmy Bowen has been a powerful executive in the record industry; he's worked for several labels, but has stayed with MCA since 1986, and is acknowledged as one of the most influential figures in Nashville. He entered the business a long time before that, though, as a teenage rockabilly singer, landing a Top 20 hit in 1957 with "I'm Stickin' With You." The song was basic in the extreme, built around a thwacking bass riff, a singsong melody, and Bowen's own nervous, boyish vocals, suggesting that it may have been intended as nothing more than a demo. That indeed may have been close to the truth, as it was first released as a B-side to a song that made number one, Buddy Knox's "Party Doll."
Bowen and Knox's careers were bound together in an unusually close fashion that makes thumbnail sketches of their recording activities rather cumbersome and tangled. Knox (guitar, vocals) and Bowen (bass, vocals) met in the '50s and became the frontmen of a rockabilly combo, the Orchids. They were directed to Norman Petty's studio in Clovis, NM, by Roy Orbison. There the Orchids cut "Party Doll" (with Knox on vocals) and "I'm Stickin' With You" (with Bowen on bass). The tracks, both co-written by Knox/Bowen, were issued on the small Triple D label, the top side billed to Buddy Knox & the Orchids, the other to Jimmy Bowen & the Orchids. When the single was leased to Roulette for nationwide distribution, the company shrewdly divided the product into two separate singles. When both became hits, it found itself with two separate new stars, although nominally they were still part of the same group (now renamed, to further confuse matters, the Rhythm Orchids).
Bowen and Knox embarked on simultaneous solo careers for Roulette, although each continued to use the Rhythm Orchids as his backup band for quite a while. That accounts for the similar mild rockabilly-pop sound of each artist, but Knox was a far better singer, songwriter, and instrumentalist than Bowen; for that matter, he was far more successful, landing a string of smaller follow-up hits to "Party Doll." Bowen never entered the Top 20 again, although he did quite a bit of recording for Roulette in the late '50s. He found it hard to recapture the unforced bounce of "I'm Stickin' With You," and indeed his Roulette sides rate as some of the tamest rockabilly of the '50s. Bowen was probably unsuited to be a frontman to begin with, despite his teen-idol looks; his range was narrow (sometimes he sounds like a gawky Johnny Cash), and his delivery was stiff and unsure of itself. His material was fairly slight as well, and at the end of his stay with Roulette, he'd abandoned rock for misguided and soggy attempts at orchestrated pop.
Bowen would make some more records, but it was really more the beginning than the end when he moved into production. In the mid-'60s he worked with Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis, Jr., and Dean Martin at Reprise; since then he's had high posts at Capitol, MGM, Elektra/Asylum, and MCA, concentrating mostly on country music in recent times. ~ Richie Unterberger~ Rovi

BEIJING: A prominent group of Chinese academics has warned in a bold open letter that the country risks "violent revolution" if the government does not respond to public pressure and allow long-stalled political reforms.
The 73 scholars, including well-known current and retired legal experts at top universities and lawyers, said political reform had not matched the quick pace of economic expansion.
"If reforms to the system urgently needed by Chinese society keep being frustrated and stagnate without progress, then official corruption and dissatisfaction in society will boil up to a crisis point and China will once again miss the opportunity for peaceful reform, and slip into the turbulence and chaos of violent revolution," they wrote.
The letter began being circulated on the Internet earlier this month, but online references to it in Chinese media reports have now been removed.
The government, which since 1949 has been controlled by the Communist Party, needed to push democracyand independence of the judiciary as well as deepen market reforms, the letter said.
He Weifang, a law professor at Peking University and one of the signatories, told Reuters he believed the demands were rather moderate, but that now was the time to make them as President Hu Jintao prepared to hand over the reins of state power to Xi Jinping, who was made party chief in November.
"We have come to that period again when the leadership is changing. People expect continuing advances when it comes to reform of the political system," he said.
"The Chinese people, including intellectuals, have been talking about this for a while, but little has happened. So I think we have the opportunity now to push it again."
Other signatories include Zhang Sizhi, defence lawyer for Mao Zedong's widow, Jiang Qing, leader of the "Gang of Four" that wielded supreme power during the 1966-76 Cultural Revolution. She was given a suspended death sentence in 1981 for the deaths of tens of thousands during that period of chaos.
About 65 Chinese academics, lawyers and human rights activists have signed a similar letter demanding top party members reveal their financial assets, saying it is the most fundamental way to end corruption.
Analysts have been searching for signs that China's new leaders might steer a path of political reform, whether by allowing freer expression on the Internet, greater experimentation with grassroots democracy or releasing jailed dissidents.
But the party, which brooks no dissent to its rule and values stability above all else, has so far shown little sign of wanting to go down this path, despite Xi trying to project a softer and more open image than his predecessor.
However, Xi himself warned shortly after becoming party boss that if corruption were allowed to run wild, the party risked major unrest and the collapse of its rule.
The letter said democracy, rule of law and respect of human rights were "a global trend that could not be stopped".
"China's 100 years of bloody and violent history – especially the painful and tragic lesson of the decade-long Cultural Revolution – show that once we go against the tide of democracy, human rights, rule of law and constitutional government, the people will suffer disaster and social and political stability will be impossible," the letter said.

Boy Scouts of America—Declaration of Religious Principle
The Boy Scouts of America maintains that no member can grow into the best kind of citizen without recognizing an obligation to God and, therefore, recognizes the religious element in the training of the member, but it is absolutely nonsectarian in its attitude toward that religious training. Its policy is that the home, in conjunction with the organization or group with which a member is connected, will give definite attention to religious life. Only persons willing to subscribe to this Declaration of Religious Principle and to the Bylaws of the Boy Scouts of America shall be entitled to certificates of membership.
Although nonsectarian, the Scouting program is an available resource for religious organizations, schools, and community and civic groups to use in their programs for young people. Scouting is an educational program based on "duty to God" and designed to enhance:

The Imboden House
(MAP) East Chocolate Avenue, Hershey Pa. 17033
*** 1999 Preservation Award Winner ***
Honored to receive the Derry Township Historical Society's Third Annual Preservation Award is a farmhouse which predates the town of Hershey. Having been built in the mid 1850's, this site was known as the "Imboden House", whose family, the Imboden's, farmed the land and resided in this sturdy Georgian-style country home for many years. In Charles Castner's book, "One of a Kind", Milton Hershey is quoted as saying, "I'll have to build a house for Kitty over there along the creek near the Imboden place." And he did. He also purchased the Imboden property in the mid-1920's when he was buying up properties for the Hershey Industrial School. It was turned over to the Hershey Trust Company in 1930 and then sold to Hershey Estates, at which time it was rented for a number of years.
Standing at the eastern "Gateway to Hershey" - the corner of Chocolate Avenue and Mansion Road - this lovely home is a dignified and graceful reminder of the elegance of early Hershey. In 1995, this property was purchased by Susan Deemer, who spent a full year restoring and rehabilitating the home. Careful attention was given to assure that all architectural details were preserved. Attractive landscaping completed Mrs. Deemer's efforts.
Current owner, Dale Auchenbach, has converted the interior of the property to accommodate several businesses.

JaMarcus Russell, the first overall pick of the 2007 draft, pretty much ate and purple drank his way through $31.5 million in guaranteed money. The Raiders cut him loose in May 2010, and he had a couple of failed tryouts with the Redskins and Dolphins later that summer. Since then, the only signal-calling he's done has been at his local Ponderosa's prime-rib station.
But what's this? Russell telling Shutdown Corner he intends to work out at a football academy in Florida? He says he now weighs 308 pounds—down from 320—and that he wants another chance at the NFL, to which end he has enlisted Michael Clayton, another former NFL player from LSU, as his mentor. A handful of other ex-athletes are also expected to assist in whipping Russell back into something resembling playing shape. We welcome everything about this news. It's the easiest excuse we can think of to again publish the video you see above.

Here are five huge mistakes that many couples make.
1. Dismissing your spouse's concerns.
We can forget that our spouses are different from us. They come from different homes. They have different personalities and needs. They are worried about things that we may not be worried about. Afraid of things that we maybe can't relate to. Anxious about things that we think are irrational.
But dismissing each other's concerns or fears just because we ourselves don't share them is a big mistake. Our job as life partners is to do our best to understand where the other person is coming from and to try to work with them. Feeling dismissed is not only hurtful, it also creates subtle emotional distance in the relationship every time it happens.
2. Believing love comes before respect.
Love is the result of a complex combination of giving to each other, respecting each other and believing in one another. It isn't a stagnant, fixed feeling that remains the same throughout marriage. Love is either growing and deepening or weakening and become more shallow. The more specific and focused our respect is for our spouse, the deeper our love can become. And the more we believe in our spouse's inherent goodness and capabilities, the stronger our love becomes.
3. Treating strangers more politely.
When we live 24/7 with someone, we sometimes forget our basic manners and usual niceties that we naturally extend to strangers. One husband remarked that his wife is friendlier to the clerk at the supermarket than she is to him. Spouses can get sloppy with how they speak in their own home when they are tired or frustrated or just not focusing on their words. But constantly forgetting to maintain a basic level of politeness with one's own spouse is not just a bad habit; it can dangerously and rapidly erode an otherwise solid relationship. Extend at least the same level of politeness that you do for strangers to your spouse.
4. Allowing contempt to enter your marriage.
Dr. John Gottman has found in over four decades of research that contempt is the number one predictor of divorce among married couples. Some people don't even realize that they're allowing to contempt to creep into their marriages because they don't know what it is.
Contempt is sarcasm, hostile humor, any kind of name calling, eye-rolling, sneering, mimicking or mocking. It's poisonous to a relationship because it conveys disgust, and it's impossible to deal with any problem if your partner feels like you are disgusted with him or her. Contempt is usually formed gradually, a result of resentful and negative thoughts about one's partner that remain unexpressed and therefore, unresolved. Even the slightest sign of contempt should be dealt with right away before it spreads into the crevices of a marriage, sometimes without either spouse realizing that it is there.
5. Believing a good marriage takes care of itself.
If the relationship is healthy and going well, the couple often believes that "it can take care of itself' and that it doesn't require focused investment. But even the best of relationships require ongoing nurturing and care. Both spouses need to make the marriage the most important thing in their lives. It's not necessarily the time that is put into a marriage that matters the most (but it surely helps), but rather the cherishing and the prioritization of the relationship that makes a difference.
Don't let these five mistakes derail your marriage. Focus on the most important relationship in your life. Cherish your marriage and keep building a stronger foundation. A loving, growing marriage is a precious blessing. Don't take it for granted.

Story highlights
Utoya Island has dropped from headlines, but it remains fresh in the memory of many
Martin Schultz, president of European Parliament, visited after receiving Nobel peace prize
Anders Behring Breivik admitted carrying out the attacks, sentenced to 21 years in prison
While the Nobel Peace Prize was being awarded this week in an ornate hall in Oslo, a small island nearby was shrouded in a cold mist that made it seem almost haunted.
Utoya Island has dropped from the headlines, but it remains fresh in the memory of many, including one of the European Union leaders who received the Nobel prize, as the site of Norway's worst mass murder since World War II. Martin Schultz, the president of the European Parliament made a point of going to the island the very next day.
"The attack was an attack on our values," said Martin Schulz, president of the European Parliament. "But our values are stronger than the attack."
Schulz – along with European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso and European Council President Herman Van Rompuy – accepted the award on the EU's behalf Monday, with the massacre of July 2011 already on his mind.
It started with a deadly blast in downtown Oslo that killed eight people. In confusion that followed, the anti-immigrant extremist who detonated the bomb drove roughly 45 minutes to a ferry that took him to Utoya, the scene of an annual summer camp for young members of Norway's Labor Party. He methodically gunned down everyone he could find and killed 69 people, most of them teenagers.
Anders Behring Breivik admitted carrying out the attacks, boasting that he was a patriot fighting multiculturalism in Norway. He was subjected to intense psychiatric examination, found sane and sentenced to 21 years in prison, although under Norwegian law he could be behind bars for life.
The European Union was honored with the 2012 Nobel Prize because of its contribution to peace in Europe, erasing old borders and animosities. It has also contributed to multiculturalism, eliminating some of the barriers to immigration in many corners of the continent.
In some countries, the debt crisis is fueling anti-immigrant sentiment. In Greece, for example, the ultra-nationalist Golden Dawn party is gaining popularity in part because of the country's changing economic and ethnic landscape.
Norway is hardly an enthusiastic EU supporter, even less a hotbed of xenophobia. It has twice rejected EU membership and Breivik has been regarded as an extremist or a madman. But with the Nobel Prize for the EU and the the massacre at Utoya, Norway finds itself close to both Europe's best intentions and some of the worst instincts in European history.
Schulz likened the two faces of his own brief trip to Norway to the two faces visible in the history of his own native Germany.
"We had a culture of literature and philosophy and mathematics," he said, "And we had a culture of extermination at Auschwitz."
Schulz said that Norway, a nation proud of its liberal, peaceful and tolerant traditions, offered an avenue of hope
"The reaction of the Norwegian society, to say our answer to the gunman is more democracy, more respect and to fight more for our values - that was the right answer, a good example for the whole world."
A famous peace prize and an infamous murder scene: two different worlds less than one hour apart.

The Crimean Council of Minister took such a decision at a meeting on Tuesday at the suggestion of Crimean Prime Minister Vasyl Dzharty."Crimea is ready to provide holidays at our children's recreation facilities for children from Russian regions affected by fires. We have arranged this issue with the Crimean Health Ministry, and we are ready to receive up to 300 children a month.

Over the weekend, EA published a list of all the digital retailers you'd be able to preorder Battlefield 3 from. There were dozens of stores. Yet Steam wasn't one of them.
That's led to speculation that, in the wake of the recent, ahem, change in relationship between EA and Steam owners Valve, you won't be able to buy the game on the PC's most popular digital shopfront.
The thing is, the list has since been pulled from the game's site. Perhaps because of that 2+2=5 speculation! After all, just because a game doesn't appear on a preliminary list of preorder sites doesn't mean it won't be available at all.
Case in point: recent EA release Alice: Madness Returns wasn't available for preorder on Steam. Yet on the day of its release, bam, it magically appeared for sale on Valve's service.
The same may well be true in this case. We've contacted EA to see what's up, and will update if we hear back.

Dispatchers: Coroner called to scene of hanging body
Coroner: Public death is case of suicide
The Pickens County coroner says a body found hanging from a metal power pole in front of the Alice Manufacturing Plant is a case of suicide.
Pickens County Chief Deputy Creed Hashe said a passing motorist called 911 at 7:15 a.m. about what looked like a body hanging on the side of the road at the intersection of Rice Street and Gentry Memorial Highway, which is Highway 8.
EMS and Pickens County deputies responded to the scene, and later called for the coroner, according to the supervisor.
A WYFF News 4 photojournalist at the scene says the body was hanging from a metal power pole in front of the Alice Manufacturing Plant, in clear view of anyone driving by on Highway 8 or Rice Street.
Hashe said the body was hanging from a rope.
Pickens County Coroner Kandy Kelly told News 4 that the death is a case of suicide.

South Bay Union School District has established a goal that all students will be reading at grade level by the third grade. To support this goal, the South Bay PTA Council sponsored the "Everyone's a Reader Festival" in May at Mendoza School. All students, families, and community members were invited to this event to share in the excitement of reading. Students who attended the event received snacks, a book bag, and a book to take home. Guest speakers read their favorite stories throughout the event, engaging students and families in various literary themes. The festival also included an opportunity drawing and a book fair with a buy one get one free deal.
Reading as entertainment and enrichment is a challenge for students, especially in the ever digital world. The plethora of entertaining activities available online and on electronical devices sometimes overshadows the value of sitting down to read a story for many students. South Bay, however, remains committed to the importance of reading through its encompassing curriculum, reading assessments, and district-wide events, such as this festival. With the support of families and teachers, South Bay students are reading for fun, and learning to love reading!
About the South Bay Union School District:
The South Bay Union School District proudly serves over 7,500 students in Imperial Beach, San Ysidro, and south San Diego. The District is comprised of twelve campuses, including nine K-6 schools, two K-8 charter schools, and one Preschool. South Bay offers several specialized programs including Dual Language, Instrumental Music, Visual and Performing Arts, and a STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) Academy.

But their friendship grows because they are ultimately searching for the same thing. How do they complement one another and help one another develop through the novel?
2. Earth today has many environmental and social issues. What sort of problems could have led to the building of the City of Ember?
3. Clary tells Lina, "Everyone has some darkness inside." (p. 168) Light and color both play very key roles in the novel. In what ways, other than the failing street lamps, are color and light important?
4. The possibility of never-ending darkness changes many of Lina's friends and many of the townspeople. She discovers that her friend Lizzie has begun to accept things from Looper, who is stealing things from the storerooms. Why does Lina turn down the gifts that Lizzie offers her?

7. People react in various ways when they feel threatened. How do the people of Ember react to danger? Have you seen people reacting to danger in these ways? How are Poppy's actions important to the plot?

Party plans move on from days of just Tupperware and make-up
THESE days it is no longer enough to throw a few cheese cubes on a plate and call it a party.
Parties, gatherings and causes for celebrations are increasingly becoming a chance to not only socialise, but also a chance to get a bit of shopping done.
Toowoomba woman Toni Schultz has run the gamut of party planning.
She started in Tupperware but these days she runs adults-only parties.
Ms Schultz is the only Queensland-based representative for the Sin Secret brand.
She sells lotions, potions and gadgets aimed at spicing up couple's love lives.
"I love it," she said.
"I have customers who have been with me for over three-and-a-half years."
The mainstreaming of previously unspoken, sexy topics, (thanks is part to the popular adult novel Fifty Shades of Grey) has done wonders for Ms Schultz's business.
"It went crazy there for a while," she said.
"And it is continuing.
"I am booked out until the end of April.
"Let's just say that some of the items that feature in the book are proving quite popular."
Party plans, as well as proving popular for party hosts, are also popular with people looking to supplement their income.
"Party planning is getting more popular," she said.
"It is an easy way to do your shopping.
"My parties for example cater to people who may not necessarily walk into an adult shop off the street."
Party planners on show
Toni Schultz of Sin Secret party plan has organised an event to showcase the variety of plans available in Toowoomba.
The Stop and Shop Party Plan Day will be held at the Burke and Wills hotel, Ruthven St, Toowoomba on Saturday, March 2 from 11am. (The venue has changed from the Shamrock Hotel.)
The event will showcase 20 different party plans.
Book a party or order/buy products.

By Priscilla Toomey, Julie B. Fee Sotheby's International Realty Nov. 18, 2020: While price and terms are the bedrock of a home sale or purchase, it is also important to...
Bronxville is a quaint village (one square mile) located just 16 miles north of midtown Manhattan (roughly 30 minutes on the train) and has a population of approximately 6,500. It is known as a premier community with an excellent public school (K-12) and easy access to Manhattan. Bronxville offers many amenities including an attractive business district, a 400-bed acute care hospital (New York Presbyterian/Lawrence Hospital), public paddle and tennis courts, fine dining at local restaurants, two private country clubs and a community library.
While the earliest settlers of Bronxville date back to the first half of the 18th century, the history of the modern suburb of Bronxville began in 1890 when William Van Duzer Lawrence purchased a farm and commissioned the architect, William A. Bates, to design a planned community of houses for well-known artists and professionals that became a thriving art colony. This community, now called Lawrence Park, is listed on the National register of Historic Places and many of the homes still have artists' studios. A neighborhood association within Lawrence Park called "The Hilltop Association" keeps this heritage alive with art shows and other events for neighbors.
Bronxville offers many charming neighborhoods as well as a variety of living options for residents including single family homes, town houses, cooperatives and condominiums. One of the chief benefits of living in "the village" is that your children can attend the Bronxville School.
The Bronxville postal zone (known as "Bronxville PO") includes the village of Bronxville as well as the Chester Heights section of Eastchester, parts of Tuckahoe and the Lawrence Park West, Cedar Knolls, Armour Villa and Longvale sections of Yonkers. Many of these areas have their own distinct character. For instance, the Armour Villa section has many historic homes and even has its own newsletter called "The Villa Voice" which reports on neighborhood news.

The Skatalites are Jamaica's premier ska band since 1964 who backed artists like Bob Marley, Toots and The Maytals, Alton Ellis, Ken Boothe and most of the singers of the day. Their infectious brand of bluesy, jazzy ska spread like wildfire around the island and spawned the entire genres of ska, rocksteady, reggae, dub, two-tone, and 3rd wave ska. The tiny island of Jamaica has probably had more effect on music globally than any other country or place in the world, and The Skatalites were the pioneers of the music that originally caused this.
The original lineup lasted only 14 months but recorded thousands of tunes, some of which are still being discovered in the archives today. Although the group broke up in 1965, the members Skatalites remained active in the evolution of Jamaican popular music as it increased in popularity. After hearing about the resurgence of interest in their music they reunited in 1983 to perform at Jamaica's famed Sunsplash festival. Subsequently in 1986 they migrated to the USA and began performing and touring all over the world as they continue to do now after 52 years in the music business.
Despite changes in personnel over the years, the band has continued to stay viable in the market, recording and performing at some of the world's largest festivals and has been nominated twice for The Grammys. Their most recent recording, Platinum Ska, features some tracks with Lloyd Knibb, the original drummer who passed away in 2011 and was widely regarded as the creator of the ska beat as well as the "one drop" rhythm that is the foundation of most reggae music. Also on some tracks is original alto sax man Lester Sterling who is still active but no longer touring regularly with the band. Original vocalist Doreen Shaffer contributes a vocal track on this cd and continues leading the band on it's path as it continues it's great legacy bringing joy to fans, old and new, all over the world.
Forever indebted to the inspiration and talent of: Roland Alphonso, Lloyd Brevett, Tony DaCosta, Rupert Dillon , Don Drummond, Joseph " Lord Tanamo" Gordon, Jerome "Jah Jerry" Haynes, Lloyd Knibb, Tommy McCook, Donat Roy "Jackie" Mittoo, John " Dizzy Johnny" Moore, Jackie Opel, Doreen Shaffer, Lester Sterling.

If this all sounds like a history lesson in a foreign language, you're on your way to understanding why guitar synthesis has yet to catch on in a big way. In the past, most guitarists' eyes would glaze over when talk shifted to MIDI and synthesizers. And those who were interested were often put off by slow MIDI tracking, false note triggering, and the inability of early audio-to-MIDI converters to follow techniques like hammer-ons, pull-offs, slurs, bends, and tapping.
The Sonuus G2M, a MIDI interface that's easy to use and eliminates the need for special jacks and pickups, has the potential to change all of that.
The Magic of MIDI
For those unfamiliar with the term, MIDI (musical instrument digital interface) is a digital message protocol designed to transmit musical events—such as, say, a pitch bend— to ones and zeros so that they can be processed by a computer. Companies like Roland and Terratec (Axon) have advanced audio-to-MIDI conversion significantly and addressed many early hurdles. But even the best MIDI converter still requires accurate playing at a level beyond some guitarists. To get acceptable results, you must pick every note cleanly and with exactly the right pressure. If you hit adjacent strings or allow notes to ring over each other, the MIDI module creates glitches and unwanted sounds. Sloppiness that's perfectly acceptable—or even desirable—in normal guitar playing is verboten with a MIDI guitar.
This is one reason you are still unlikely to spy a 13-pin MIDI connector plug coming out of a guitarist's hex-pickup instrument in a live performance (precision players like Pat Metheny and John McLaughlin aside). But the boom in home recording means more and more players are using an audio-to-MIDI converter in their studios, where less-than-perfect technique is not as much of an issue.
I have a Graph Tech Ghost hexaphonic pickup system in one of my instruments and have used Roland and Axon converters that both perform admirably despite my own technical limitations. Still, I often find myself reluctant to deal with the complexity of this technology. That learning curve, combined with my infrequent synthesizer needs, usually leads me to fall back on my meager keyboard skills.
Mini MIDI
The Sonuus could lead many users back to the synth guitar technology just by virtue of how easy it is to use. The G2M's solid plastic case is smaller than an iPhone, though somewhat thicker. And basic operation couldn't be simpler: Plug any electric guitar into one end and a MIDI cable into the other, then jack into your chosen MIDI device and go—no hexaphonic pickup is required.
A green power light indicates the onboard 9-volt battery is supplying juice. The power light also functions as a tuner, blinking more slowly as you approach the correct note. You'll need to start with the string fairly close to pitch, but tuning is very accurate. And it's a welcome addition given how essential correct pitch is for accurate tracking.
A red LED lets you know when battery power is getting low, and another red Clip light tells you if the instrument signal is too hot, which can also adversely affect accurate tracking. A Boost switch next to the 1/4" instrument input supplies extra power to low-output pickups, and a 1/4" Thru output sends your instrument's audio signal wherever you choose (for instance, to an amp or mixer). The G2M also supplies 5-volt power to MIDI devices that require it.
