Blue Cornmeal Cake
~ Mary ~
Oh! doesn't everyone love cake!? Here we go with another winner from Sky High Cakes. It can be made with regular yellow cornmeal, but isn't it prettier with blue? Well, blue is a tad harder to find. I searched high and low, in every grocery store, in my hispanic neighborhood. Not until I asked John to pick some up in New Mexico did I finally find it. Oh well, at least I know now where to get it next time.
This cake really does not need the white frosting at all. It should be served/made with just Dulce de Leche between the layers. And I have it, at my beck and call, thanks to Nestle.
One more interesting thing about the cake is that it has a teaspoon of Chile Arbol – which lends an interesting afterthought to each bite.
Some other triple layer cakes you might enjoy:
Strawberry Butter ~ Mango Mousse ~ Tiramisu
Heaven & Hell ~ Peachy Keen
German Chocolate ~ Chocolate Peanut Butter Salute
Kahlua Mexican Chocolate ~ Lane Cake
Blue Cornmeal Cake
adapted from Sky High Cakes
In food processor combine and process until the pecans are finely chopped:
3/4 Cup Pecans
1 3/4 Cup Cake Flour
2/3 Cup Blue Cornmeal
2 tsp Baking Powder
2 tsp Cinnamon
1 tsp Ground Chile Arbol OR 1/2 tsp cayenne
1 tsp Salt
1 1/2 Cups Sugar
Transfer to a large mixing bowl and make a well in the center and add:
8 Egg YOLKS
1 1/2 Cups Buttermilk
4 Tbsp Melted Butter
optional to add a couple drops of red and blue food coloring – this gave it a more pronounced blue coloring (blue alone made it green).
Mix all ingredients together well with a whisk.
With an electric mixer in a clean bowl beat until stiff peaks form.
8 Egg WHITES
I found it easier to whip these up 4 whites at a time. You DO NOT want to add any runny extras, from the bottom of the bowl, to your cake! (Read comments down below about dense cakes and you'll understand my urgency here!).
Fold in a quarter of the stiff egg whites, at a time, into your batter slowly and gently. Once incorporated pour equal amounts into three greased and floured 8″ cake pans.
Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until the center of the cake, when stuck with a toothpick, comes out clean and the edges pull away from the side of the pan.
Cool completely and "frost" Dulce de Leche between each layer.
If you want the white frosting – a simple Buttercream one will do: 1 Cup Butter whipped up with 1 tsp Vanilla and 4-5 Cups Powdered Sugar. But as I mentioned before, this cake really only needs the Dulce de Leche.
Top with:
Quick Brittle
put 1 Cup Sugar in heavy pan over medium heat
Stir constantly as it starts to melt
Keep stirring!
continue stirring and turn temperature to medium low – you DO NOT want to burn the sugar! SLOW YOUR ROLL!
Once it's all melted throw in a handful of Whole Pecans
Dump onto a silpat liner and spread out quickly before it hardens.
Once completely cooled, lift off liner and break into pieces.
If you don't have a liner be sure to grease or butter your pan WELL!

you alway make the best cakes… i was just pondering making brownies, they will be a let down after this~
January 17, 2010 10:40 pm
Outrageous looking. I'm sure it tastes as good as it looks.
January 18, 2010 8:20 am
this looks incredible! i love the colors of the cake itself!
Pat permalinkJanuary 18, 2010 10:01 am
Mary, you're the Queen of Cakes!
Here you go with another great recipe!
I like the tutorial on the brittle, too. I never would have thought to make it with just sugar and nuts!
January 18, 2010 10:21 pm
What unusual ingredients for a cake. It's hard to believe that it works, but your picture speaks for itself. It seems like a perfect cake for here in Texas, both because of the ingredients and because it is BIG. I love using dulce de leche in between the cake layers — delicious!
whitney permalinkFebruary 12, 2010 9:24 am
i made the blue cornmeal cake last week and it was the dryest, most dense cake i have ever put together/tasted.
what could i have done wrong?
May 17, 2010 7:33 am
Thanks for sharing this recipe on line!
Made this last night and also had the dense problem! I was sick about it and started reading all the recipes I could find with cornmeal, and then reread the original recipe agein twice, only to find I skipped over the line which I do not see here in the posted recipe, and is as follows:
Chop 1/2 cup of the pecans and set aside for decoration. I had used the whole 3/4 of a cup inside my cake last night.
Also from past experience egg to whites whipped too stiff can cause a poor end result. I added a pinch of cream of tarter help whip mine.

Thanks trying again this weekend!
May 27, 2010 3:45 pm
So glad I tried again – great flavor and texture!

Teen Behavior Problems Not Depression Tied to Lower Grades
Study also linked delinquency, substance use to lesser education degrees
THURSDAY, Nov. 29, 2012 (HealthDay News) -- Lower school grades among depressed adolescents are linked to behavior problems, not their depression, a new study finds.
Researchers examined data from thousands of U.S. teens who were tracked through their middle and high school years and as they moved into early adulthood.
Unlike students with depression, those with behavior problems such as attention issues, delinquency or substance use had lower GPAs than others. The study also found that delinquency and substance use were associated with receiving lesser educational degrees, while depression was not.
Students with two of these problems typically earned lower GPAs and lesser degrees than those with one problem, and some combinations of problems had more harmful effects than others, according to the study, which was published in the December issue of the Journal of Health and Social Behavior.
For instance, substance use worsened the educational risks associated with depression, attention issues and delinquency. Having depression did not, however, increase the educational risks associated with attention issues, delinquency or substance use.
"Behavior problems including attention issues, delinquency and substance use are associated with diminished achievement, but depression is not," study lead author Jane McLeod, a sociology professor and associate dean at Indiana University, in Bloomington, said in a journal news release.
"Certainly, there are depressed youths who have trouble in school, but it's likely because they are also using substances, engaging in delinquent activities or have attention issues," she added.
"There's a fairly sizable literature that links depression in high school to diminished academic achievement," McLeod noted. "The argument we make in our study is what's really happening is that youths who are depressed also have other problems, and it's those other problems that are adversely affecting their achievement."
McLeod said the findings suggest that schools should reconsider the approach they take to dealing with students with behavior issues.
"Perhaps, they should think about moving away from punitive approaches toward approaches aimed at integrating these students into the school community," she suggested.

At some point in your life you've probably been asked to take out a #2 pencil and fill in a series of numbered ovals. This method for gathering standardized data is widely used in elections, tests, and surveys, and it's generally considered to be anonymous: if you don't put your name at the top, you don't expect your answers can be traced back to you.
New research from Princeton University calls that assumption into question. A team led by computer science professor (and current Chief Technologist of the Federal Trade Commission) Ed Felten has demonstrated software techniques for re-identification of respondents using only images of their filled-in bubbles. Their technology has both benign uses—detecting cheating in standardized tests—and malicious ones like undermining the secret ballot.
Co-author Will Clarkson described the group's findings in a Tuesday blog post. The researchers obtained copies of surveys completed by 92 different high school students, which they scanned with a high-resolution scanner. A labeled subset of the bubbles—12 bubbles from each respondent—was used to train a classifier that used a combination of machine learning techniques described in the research paper.
This classifier was then given the remainder of the bubbles—8 from each respondent—and the classifier was asked to re-identify them. It was surprisingly accurate. It got the right answer on the first try (out of 92 options) more than half the time. And the correct answer was on its top ten list more than 90 percent of the time.
The technique has a number of possible applications, both positive and negative. One negative application involves undermining the secret ballot. Some jurisdictions, such as Humboldt County, CA, offer digital images of all ballots cast in recent elections. If a third party obtained a sample of filled-in bubbles from a known Humboldt County voter—perhaps as part of an employment applications—he could use the Princeton team's techniques to identify the voter's ballot.
In principle, this raises voter intimidation concerns. For example, an employer might threaten to fire employees who fail to vote for his preferred candidates. But Joe Calandrino, the study's lead author, concedes that the 51 percent accuracy rate "does leave some room for deniability" for a voter who faces such intimidation. The problem deserves further study, but Humboldt County voters shouldn't lose sleep over it.
A more positive application of the team's research is the detection of cheating. For example, a high school teacher whose students are taking a high-stakes test might be tempted to fill in some answers for his students after they have turned them in. The techniques described by Calandrino et al could be used to scan a large number of documents looking for evidence that the same person filled out bubbles on multiple tests.
Here too, there are questions about whether the algorithm is powerful enough to give useful results. But Calandrino argues it would. First, in this application the algorithm would have many more samples to work with, which might improve its accuracy. More importantly, Calandrino says that he "sees our work as fitting in with other risk-based approaches, like answer analysis." By itself, the algorithm may not be able to definitively prove someone cheated, but it offers valuable, independent evidence of wrongdoing.
We covered related work in 2009. The same Princeton team found that variations in the structure of paper allowed it to be "fingerprinted" with a commodity scanner.
Disclosure: I'm a former member of Felten's research group. I reviewed an early draft of the study, but did not participate in the research.

In May, the jet setters meet in Cannes for the world famous film festival. A good reason to rent a yacht and cruise on one of the most luxurious boats available in the Mediterranean. Outside the festival, Cannes offers a surprising contrast with a charming old town. Choose the end of summer to enjoy this golden light before casting off for your cruise in the Mediterranean.
Among Click&Boat's fleet of rental boats, you can choose the perfect boat for your next holidays. Brand available to rent include; Lagoon, Bénéteau, Monte Carlo, Rhéa Marine. You will be able to choose in between: catamarans, sailboats, motorboats, RIBs, yachts, and even jet skis.
A personal advisor will help you, click here
With Click&Boat, you can rent a boat (with or without skipper) to sail in Cannes. Cannes is likely to surprise its tourists with its combination of luxury and history. The Vieux-Port (the old harbour) is an icon for the internationally recognised Cité du Cinema. Cannes hosts many world renowned events, such as the Festival de la Plaisance and the Royal Regatta. Charter a yacht with Click&Boat and set sail for Cannes to enjoy an unforgettable holiday.
From Cannes you can sail to the islands des Lérins (the island Sainte-Marguerite and the island Saint-Honorat), true gems of the Mediterranean Sea and Côte d'Azur. If you are not an experienced sailor or boater, you can opt for the co-navigation solution and sail with the owner of the boat.
In Cannes, 225 privately owned boats are available for rental. See other boats in the area
The islands in front of cannes are great to spend the day, the north side of saint honorat has a beautiful view of the day. Between the islands you will have a calm spot which is sheltered from the waves and has some great spots to anchor in crystal clear waters.
Really nice area for sailing and enjoying the sea. The two islands of Sainte Marguerite and Saint Honorat provide great shelter for both day and night stops. The ports are very comfortable and well linked to the city center and services. Perfect for weekends at sea, it really deserves a visit!
Boat is at a nice marina 10 minute walking distance from conference center. Good amenities. Wind is variable day to day. We had one day at 5 kts, one at 0 kts, and one at 7. Wish is was 10+. We just day sailed around the nearby islands with great views of the South France Riviera. Hope to return next year.

Now retired, Sasha Grey (AKA Sasha Gray) took the industry by storm after making her debut in 2006. Like many of the other biggest names in porn, Sasha is smart, well spoken, confident, and media friendly. She is also a very cute, sweet looking girl. But oh my, how looks can be deceiving! Sasha Grey is the most dirty, nasty, do-anything-to-me slut to come into the industry since Belladonna. In her very first sex scene, just two days after her 18th birthday, Sasha asked Rocco Siffredi to punch her in the stomach. She does deep anal in almost every scene and enjoys being slapped, spit on, gang-banged and humiliated.
Before announcing her retirement in 2011, Sasha was named one of the 12 most popular pornstars in the world in CNBC's "The Dirty Dozen" list. The ultimate celebrity of extreme porn, her videos have to be seen to be believed. Check out Sasha's videos below to really understand what this dirty slut has done.

Your time is precious, and technology changes fast. Knowing which technologies are relevant means you can focus on the skills that will benefit your career the most.Click here for a free report
This was article originally posted on my Programming Blog.
The mythical "reusable code" idea has existed for decades. It showed up shortly after the first lines of code were written. We preach re-usability and sometimes strive for it but it rarely becomes a reality. I've seen various levels of success with this over the years. Everything from "we have a reusable library that 75% of us use" to "we have shared code libraries here, but never use them in your projects".
A recent discussion led me to think about this. Why don't more software development organizations have shared code libraries? It is the pointy-haired bosses preventing it? Team conflicts? Or is it the developers themselves?
We can't blame the pointy-haired bosses for this one. If you explain the basic concepts of reusable code to management, most would agree it's a great idea. Building something once, so you don't have to build it repeatedly? Easy to find the upside here.
Team conflicts can also contribute to it, which is usually people disagreeing about who gets to determine what code is shared. Developers themselves can also be opposed to it, due not having enough time to build them.
All of these are contributing factors to lack of adoption, but the question you should ask is do we need reusable code libraries at all?
If you have tasks your developers are building that contain code you can use for something else, you put that code in its own "library" to use later. This can be a DLL, a folder of snippets, a Node module, whatever. Connecting to a database? There's no reason to write that code for every piece of software that accesses a database. Create a DB_Connect class, and put that in a file you can copy to another project later.
It's easy. You take a function and if it's abstract enough, parameterize it and make it available for other projects to use. When you start your project, you don't have to write code to connect to the database, pull the library and enter your parameters. Here are some upsides:
These are all great reasons to use shared libraries. Countless articles and books have been written about code reuse and most of you are familiar with them. The biggest selling point for this is not having to code "boring stuff" over and over and have wild variations of the same methods in the wild. This frees up time to work on exciting features.
Here are some ways shared libraries are used in business:
This falls in line with the DRY principle of software development. Don't repeat yourself.
Why isn't everyone doing this? Your organization may avoid shared libraries for a good reason. Not every project or team benefits from this and it's not the magic bullet to solve all development problems. Here are some reasons not to use code libraries.
Distributed Monolith Problem - If you put something into a library and everyone uses it, that doesn't mean it isn't bad. An inefficient database connector design means everyone is using an inefficient database connector. Changes to your implementation can still have negative cascading effects. A small change to an API could mean every single system is now broken.
Dependency Hell - If every piece of software is relying on your library, there's a tight coupling in place. There will be a myriad of dependencies in place, for instance, relying on a framework like Angular. If you have software built to use a specific version, upgrading it could produce a chain reaction among your applications.
Inflexible Design - Sometimes you're asked to use a design in a certain way that's different from what you actually need. Because "everyone else is doing it" you're forced to make your code work around it, which can then increase development time. Wait, why did we build shared libraries in the first place?
Programming Language Lock-In - Too many times I've heard "well our library is written in ____ so you have to use that" which means you're locked into a single programming language. This can lead to using the wrong tool for the job. So don't assume because your team doesn't use shared libraries means they're unenlightened and don't want better production.
If you're considering creating reusable code libraries, you should first see if it makes sense to do so.
So you've decided you want a shared library. Here are some ways you can help teams adopt your library:
Steal it from an existing project - This is the easiest way to start a new library. Take an existing project and remove everything that's specialized and keep everything that can be re-used and feels solid.
Thoroughly test it - The last thing you want to do is introduce problems into the software. After building your abstract library, test it thoroughly so you can rely on it, and help developers find regressions. Don't hand them garbage and expect them to use it.
Examine all current use cases - By digging in and understanding how people will use your library you can determine whether it will benefit them, and whether to make changes. Do this on a method by method basis to ensure that you're asking them to use something that will work for them with minimum effort. Like most anything in business, success will come from great communication. Top down design is not your friend here, you'll want to examine the needs of the group and design a library from those needs.
Most of the organizations I've been involved with do not use a shared code library. They're usually in some form of working towards one, and only two where they were implemented and working well.
At one end of the spectrum you have a pattern where all repeated code is in a library. On the other you'll have no code library, and everyone builds software for their own projects. You'll find success somewhere between the two. How far you lean toward each extreme will depend on your needs.
There are abstract functions that should always be shared. Some that come to mind are authentication/authorization, database connections and logging. It should be either a shared library you developed, or one that's open sourced and built by someone else. Everything else should be examined, considering the overall design.
Don't jump to conclusions and take on a large project to build a giant code library that will make developers lives worse. But don't exclude the idea altogether. Be purposeful and observant to find which strategy will work best for your projects. Questions? Comments? Feel free to yell at me on Twitter!

No other projector technology can match the superb color depth, excellent contrast ratio (up to 30.000:1 with DynamicBlack™ in 2D mode) and exceptional brightness (3000 ANSI Lumens in 2D mode) that the LUMIS 3D-SOLO is able to deliver. No longer does high performance command that an industrial-sized projector be used to produce true videophile images; the Grand Cinema™ LUMIS 3D-SOLO achieves this and more from its compact, elegant form factor.
Fine adjustments for all image parameters are available on this projector. Also, to aid calibration, the Grand Cinema™ LUMIS 3D-SOLO features SIM2's advanced Live Colors Calibration 2 software that enables complete adjustment of the primary, secondary and white point color coordinates of the projector.The image can be further optimized by using one of the four sets of gamma curves available. These can be used to correct for variations in the source material, differing levels of ambient lighting, or simply to allow for individual viewing preferences. The ability to visualize extraordinary 3D images that totally involve the spectator in the movie experience, makes the Grand Cinema™ LUMIS 3D-SOLO a unique product.
The Grand Cinema™ LUMIS 3D-SOLO is available in SIM2's classic High-Gloss Gun Metal finish or in White, Black or Red color case options.
Using just any digital projector doesn't make a home theater a true "Cinema". To experience true cinema, the projector must provide a picture quality as good as - or better - what a good film print would have.
Thanks to 3 chip DLP technology, Grand Cinema™ LUMIS offers movie goers the most compelling and captivating cinema experience at home, just as the movie Director intended it.
Indeed, Texas Instruments has been working with Hollywood since the mid-1990s to ensure that DLP technology meets the needs and requirements of the motion picture industry. The only type of projector that matches the quality of film and is also capable of maintaining color and brightness thoroughout the years is a 3-chip DLP projector.
No other technology can truly deliver crystal clear, razor-sharp and lifelike images for the ultimate "Hollywood" picture quality.
The 3-Chip DLP advantages:
• Fast switching time: Unlike other technologies, 3 chip DLP has a very short switching time and presents the image on the whole screen at once, exactly as the film print would.
• Highest brightness rendition: 3 chip DLP does not use polarized light. The bias used in other technologies (i.e. LCD) causes a loss of efficiency of 50%.
• Ultimate Color Fidelity: The 3-chip architecture efficiently accommodates a deep color gamut and provide extremely accurate color reproduction.
• Greater Depth: 3-chip DLP deliver up to 14 bits of grayscale per color channel on screen.
• Picture Reliability: The performance of a 3-chip DLP projection system remains consistently outstanding throughout the life of the projector.
SIM2 Alpha path ™ Light Engine
The most critical component in a home cinema front projection unit has always been its light engine. A projector's image accuracy is governed by the quality of this piece of precision optical engineering. In order to obtain the best projected image quality, a delicate balance is required between the light engine, the DLP® chipset and the control electronics. Building on its heritage of high-end light engine design, SIM2 developed an innovative optical system to re-size the light-path whilst maintaining BOTH its length (necessary for optimum picture control) AND its compactness (required for installation and interior-design constraints). This folded light path, patented and named ALPHAPATH™, is the result of years of SIM2's advanced R&D optical and thermal analysis.
• Die-cast aluminum body for improved heat management: a new die-cast aluminum design dramatically improves the thermal management of the light engine, which means SIM2 projectors are now able to use a more powerful lamp to deliver brighter images on-screen.
• Tapered rod-integrator for greater image uniformity: The purpose of the rod-integrator is to accept the raw light energy from the lamp and convert it into a pure and refined beam of light. It is also where the light spot from the lamp is turned into a precise 16:9 shape before it illuminates the DMD chipset. This new tapered design helps further improve color uniformity and efficiency of light transmission.
• New Coatings on the prism assembly to further enhance color performance: The three DMD's (Digital Micro-Mirror Device) are mounted directly onto the prism assembly, making the optical purity of this component crucial to the final image quality. New optical coatings have been applied to the prism to further enhance color and picture performance.
3D Technology Overview Triple Flash 3D Technology
SIM2's 3D active system models are the first consumer projectors to use triple flash technology alongside the active shutter 3D delivery system. Triple flash is a system developed for, and used in, commercial 3D cinemas. Triple flash means that for Blu-Ray 1080p 24Hz material, each eye is presented with 3 'flashes' of each frame, giving an overall frame rate of 144fps (faster than any other consumer projector today on the market). Other technologies are limited to dual-flash refresh rates. Triple flash increases the refresh rate to a level well beyond the normal flicker fusion threshold of humans (no image flickering, smoother motion, and no ghosting for fatigue-free experience). 3-chip DLP® is currently the only projection technology that has a fast enoughrefresh rate to be able to implement triple flash with active shutter 3D technology.

Official Group
Indeed, the degree of interest in the subject, the complexity of the issues that arise and the divergence of interests that inter-connect were themes of the Milton Keynes Connected and Autonomous Vehicles Stakeholder Workshop, organised by KTN and hosted by Transport Systems Catapult.
A full sitting of over 80 industry experts at the Transport Systems Catapult induced in lively and engaged debate, and fertile development of ideas within a structure of five directed workshop discussions, that teased out the challenges, opportunities and priorities for action.
The wisdom in the room benefited from expertise in vehicle engineering, telematics, cyber security, OEMs, transport services, wireless technologies, mapping services, virtual engineering, networking, internet of things, radio communications of various flavours, autonomous vehicles testing and simulation, ITS, social sciences and more. There was also a smattering of respected academics, participants already engaged in existing connected and autonomous vehicles projects and many considering entry to it, with an eye for proposing their own ideas or angles.
Some around the eight tables represented brands with household names. Some, such as those with military interests, played cards closer to their chests, but there was no shortage of suggestions for where future CCAV investments could add value.
Eight 'mini think tanks', ten or eleven per table, were prompted through a trajectory of open questions to help develop an industry view on the options for where the next CCAV competition could focus investments — guided and captured by KTN (and guest) facilitators.
If you multiply the output of the five workshops by eight tables you'll appreciate there's already plenty of material for the Centre of Connected and Autonomous Vehicles to chew over.
And that's just for starters.
Austen Okonweze, Head of Research and Development at the Centre for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CCAV), said the government wants to make the UK the number one place for development and use of connected and autonomous vehicle technologies, "because it will be a game changer for the UK as a country".
CCAV supports an open approach to testing, without over—regulating — and without the need for a permit or limitations on which roads are used.
He claimed the UK as possessing a "massively rich" R&D system, plus world leading expertise in cyber—policy, and a rich heritage in security.
The government is keen to support the burden of R&D where possible - and having already supported a number of projects it's keen to add to that portfolio.
This event, he said, is "a big opportunity to shape where this is spent in the next 12 months. Today will have a big say in what the next competition sounds like. We want see innovation that's achievable - and we want for the rest of the world to say 'wow', and to talk about it."
Paul Gadd, Programme Manager at Innovate UK, reviewed government investment to date in connected and autonomous vehicles.
In 2014/2015, through the competition Introducing driverless cars to UK roads, around £20 million in total was invested in three projects to test driverless vehicles in real world conditions in four cities.
In 2015 the government announced a £100 million investment fund for Research and Development of Intelligent Mobility, and subsequently formed the Centre for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles.
Then in 2015/2016, £20 million was invested from that fund into 21 R&D and feasibility projects selected from proposals for the first Connected and autonomous vehicles competition, designed to stimulate developments in autonomous vehicles and connected transport systems.
In addition, £10 million is being invested to improved efficiency and customer experience through the Enhancing the 'End to End Journey' competition.
A second Connected and autonomous vehicles competition will be held in Q3, as per the Innovate UK delivery plan
"KTN has put in a lot of work (for this), and we're excited to see how things develop".
Ahead of the first workshop, Barry Waddilove, KTN's Knowledge Transfer Manager for Design, proposed framing consideration of connected and autonomous vehicles in terms of solving problems for people.
"This design approach", said Barry, "focuses on real people and real behaviours".
To help the practitioners to think of ways that connected and autonomous vehicles could solve problems in new ways, Barry presented some example design concepts that illustratie how driverless cars could, just perhaps, become useful parts of people's lives - such as enabling commuters to work while commuting and elderly people to enjoy a 'mystery tour' day out by themselves.
These were intended to stimulate discussion on problems to be solved, rather than to be taken literally.
The state of play with the three 'Introducing driverless cars to UK roads' demonstrator projects was described between workshops.
Mark Ledsom of Transport Systems Catapult updated on the Milton Keynes based UK Autodrive consortium trials, now progressing to more complex scenarios, and trying out various communications technologies, such as 4G and mesh networks. TSC is planning to test two vehicle configurations: the LUTZ Pathfinder two seater and a 4 to 6 seater.
Nick Reed of TRL updated on progress with the GATEway (Greenwich Automated Transport Environment) project, now operating around O2 Arena precincts, although not yet in autonomous mode.
Members of the public now have the opportunity to register to try out the vehicles and thousands of responses have been received since the registration opened in May.
GATEway is taking place in the UK Smart Mobility Living Lab @ Greenwich and led by TRL.
Nick's advice for future CCAV projects was to prepare for public engagement in light of the attention generated by this project, and to also be sufficiently agile to makes changes as progress in this subject is rapid.
Rebecca Tommey, representing the Bristol and South Gloucestershire based Venturer project, also stressed the need to be able to deal with public interest. Venturer held its Media & Showcase Event on 24 May 2016 that previewed activities for the coming year.
VENTURER is focusing on people's responses as well as the technology; researchers at the University of West of England are to address the social context of autonomous vehicles by seeking to understand barriers to adoption.
The first tests will take place at the University of West of England campus from July 2016, looking at the handover process where the user needs to re-take control from autonomous modes. Further testing will then take place in South Gloucestershire and Bristol City Centre during 2017 and 2018.
"Standards can help" was the message from Alan Peters of TSC, and Nick Fleming of BSI.
Alan Peters described a joint initiative between CCAV, Transport Systems Catapult and BSI (British Standards Institution), considering the current 'standards landscape' for connected and autonomous vehicles.
Phase 1 is mapping the landscape, then a review of other countries' standards, and then a targeted standards workshop, questionnaires and interviews, with the output being a prioritised actionable roadmap, for contributing to and development of standards.
Austen Okonweze took the opportunity to alert attendees to CCAV's recent Call for evidence on the UK testing ecosystem for connected and autonomous vehicles.
This survey looks to identify any gaps and additional opportunities presented by the testing already underway, particularly concerning a potential 'flagship' facility, the proposed characteristics of which is outlined in the accompanying document to the call (liked above).
The call for evidence closes on 31 July 2016.
Concluding the workshop, Paul Gadd of Innovate UK said the government was keen to offer the best return for the taxpayer in any connected and autonomous vehicles competition.
The timetable for the second competition is not yet set but indications were given to be on track for Q3, as stated in Innovate UK delivery plan.
Reflecting on the event he chaired, Rob Furlong added, "The response form the participants was amazing, and everyone in the room worked hard throughout the day. Energy was positive, and people left feeling that they had really contributed to the process".

Muscle Mustangs & Fast FordsProject Vehicles
1988 Ford Mustang GT Project Hypersilver - Engine Install Part 1
Introducing the parts that will make up our 427ci engine for Hypersilver
When we sat down last summer to decide which engine would power our latest project, Hypersilver, the decision didn't come easily. The initial instinct was that we had to have a power adder. Then we decided that only a twin-turbo big Windsor would do. This is going to be at the SEMA show, after all. And we only get one shot at building it. Besides, aren't twin turbos all the rage right now anyway?
Then we realized how short our timeline was, and decided that a twin-turbo setup was a project all its own. So a supercharger was the next best thing, right? A big, shiny Procharger F-1 or a liquid-cooled Kenne Bell strapped to a built Coyote would do just fine. But either of those would be too expected. We wanted something different, something unique and outside of the box—we wanted that wow factor.
Then, as we were making our rounds at the PRI show last December, we made the discovery: Jon Kaase Racing Engines' P-38 crate engine. The one on the floor was destined for Stacy David's TV show, but we knew we just had to have one of our own; especially with the impressive cross-ram induction system.
The benefits were two-fold. We would be using something new, cool, and unique that will make 600-plus horsepower, and we wouldn't have to hassle with piping, brackets, or tuning a boosted engine. And besides, there's just something appealing about an NA Windsor with a raspy camshaft. We're definitely suckers for big-inch pushrod power, and the P-38 crate engine touches that soft spot in our hearts.
Down LowThe base for our 427ci engine is a Ford Racing Performance Parts Boss 351 block (PN M-6010-BOSS35195; $2,199). We're going to match it with a stroker rotating assembly from DSS Racing that consists of a 4340 forged crankshaft, forged H-beam rods, and forged aluminum GSX pistons.
"The pistons feature 1.5mm top and second rings to improve the strength of the pistons by reducing radial thickness," says Tom Naegele of DSS. "This requires a shallower ring groove, allowing greater piston cross-section between the back of the groove and the edge of the valve relief. This area is notoriously thin, and the extra thickness is a big help."
The pistons also feature proprietary X grooves cut into the skirts. These grooves help reduce friction between the piston and cylinder wall, as well as doing a superior job at cylinder wall cleaning. Keeping the cylinder walls clean will improve performance by decreasing fuel wash-down. It will also greatly increase the longevity of the engine by reducing cylinder wall wear associated with high-revving, high-horsepower engines.
DSS matches its rotating assemblies with Clevite bearings and Total Seal rings, and if you order one exactly like ours, it will run you $2,099.95. The base price is $1,899.95, but we upgraded to the neutral-balance crankshaft.
Top-EndA tough bottom end is essential when building any engine. But when it comes to exactly how much power you're engine is going to make, you need to pick the right heads, camshaft, and intake manifold. And with the P-38 system, we have the latest in cylinder head technology for small-block Ford engines.
With 2.10-inch intake valves and 1.60-inch exhaust valves in a canted configuration, the 240cc intake runner volume heads flow over 350 cfm. The P-38s bolt directly to any 302- or 351-based Windsor engine, but require special valve covers and intake manifold.
Available from Kaase, we chose the cross-ram intake. Designed to maximize low- and mid-range torque, it maintains a low profile and looks awesome.
Next month, we'll go to Jon Kaase Racing Engines for assembly and dyno testing of our cross-ram P-38 crate engine!
Leading The Way
Our first trip to Jon Kaase Racing Engines (JKRE) in Winder, Georgia to work on the powerplant destined for Hypersilver, we weren't sure what to expect. We were pleasantly surprised by the tight-knit and cozy atmosphere.
Led by Jon Kaase (KAH-zee) himself, the team represents an array of talent, young and old. Former FFW racer Chuck Samuel is on staff, building engines and operating the dyno. And serving as project manager is ADRL Crew Chief Cliff Moore.
After spending a couple of hours touring the 8,000-square-foot facility and meeting the entire crew, I was invited to join them for lunch. Located a few miles away was a hole in the wall Mexican restaurant. Let's just say, they've been there before.
As I chatted more intimately with some of the JKRE family members during lunch, I realized that almost the entire team takes lunch together, including Jon. We chatted about past, current, and future Mustangs and other fast Fords, and racing. What we didn't talk about, though, were the 100-plus Pro Stock wins, Engine Masters Challenge victories, or any other accolades—that's not their style.
The best way to describe the business is a North Pole factory for Blue Oval enthusiasts. And Jon Kaase is Santa Claus.

Walnuts Can Slow Down Cancer
A small amount of Walnuts a day can slow the growth of tumours by reducing blood supply to the tumour, noticeably slowing down its growth.
Black walnuts are American natives, but English walnuts have become one of the most popular nuts in the United States. Although all nuts fit into a cancer-preventive diet, walnuts are most studied for cancer. They contain the omega-3 fat – alpha-linolenic acid – which can make walnuts more susceptible to becoming rancid. That's why you won't find them in most commercial nut mixes.
Walnuts contain Omger-3 fatty acids and they can help slow the spread of cancer tumours.
Doctor Christos Mantzoros of Harvard Medical School carried out a first of its kind study to observe the impact of walnuts on micro-ribonucleic acids (miRNA), which control how genes mold to environmental factors.
'Our research demonstrates that a walnut diet causes significant changes in the expression profile of miRNAs in colorectal cancer tissue.' said Doctor Mantzoros.
Compounds in walnuts cause more Omega-3 fatty acids to assemble in tumour cells, he added.
Researchers fed a group of mice with 57gram of walnuts per day for humans and second group of mice was fed a controlled diet without walnuts.
After 25 days researchers found out that, mice with walnuts in their diet had miRNA that affects cancer cell swelling, blood supply and rapid increase.
The tumours of mice were fed with diet consisting of walnuts were found to have 10 times the amount of total Omega-3 fatty acids compared to the mouse that were fed with controlled diet with no walnuts.
.However, the studies were conducted on lab animals the results may vary in the case of human subjects.
The study published in the Jouranl of Nutritional Biochemistry.
Bowel cancer or colorectal cancer is the third most common type of cancer in the world and after lungs cancer it is the second leading cause of death in Western Countries.
In Birtian 41,581 people were identified with bowel cancer in 2011 and in the coming year 16,187 people died from the disease.
In US, the American Cancer Society estimated that there will be 132,700 new cases of bowel cancer in 2015 and it will cause 49,700 deaths.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Some Assembly Required' started by KLRsys, Jun 6, 2012.
Yeah, I'm kinda interested in what it costs myself. Let me know if you're ever coming this way.
Very cool.
I'd bet that would be a good selling bike.......
Last year I put a new motor in my dad's KLR after the engine chewed itself apart. I was surprised that the 2003 engine that I purchased was more expensive than the Versys engines that I was finding. I would bet that a solid KLR engine could be sold to cover the cost the Versys engine, and some of the modification work.
However, I can't recall if that price included throttle bodies and ECU or not.
Sent from my Samsung Note 10.1
Hi KLRsys,
I'm wondering if you've had any issues with the bottom of the chain dragging on the lower frame cross member (the one just below the swing-arm pivot)? When you have the engine sitting low enough to clear the bottom of the gas tank I've noticed that there appears to be the potential for the chain to rub on that lower cross member.
The countershaft sprocket is at the same height as it was originally but a bit further forward. I haven't had any issues with chain drag but I'm sure the chain hits the rubber guide that's on top of the lower cross member at full extension, but that's why the rubber thing is there. I did have to dent the inside of the tank on the right side to clear the engine.
Just wondering why your starting with such nice bikes? And why not just buy a KLR and a Versys or Ninja motor and wiring harness and electronics off e-bay?
I liked your first build and think you do nice work. I have a Ninja 650 i made into a DS and have enjoyed riding it on and off road.
I would like to see someone take a KLX 450 or CRF 450 and put the Ninja or Versys motor in it. I think that would be the ultimate DS. It would be LIGHT, great suspension, dirt wheels, very good on road and able to ride on the interstate and did i mention LIGHT.
Will be watching your build.
I hope this doesn't come off as a smart-ass answer, but I started with nice bikes because I want to end up with a nice bike. I like getting a complete Versys because I hate shopping for parts, I know what I'm getting, I can test drive it, I know it all works, and by the time I sell off the leftovers, my net investment in Versys parts is probably less than I would have spent buying them all individually on Ebay.
I know there are lighter DS's out there but I chose to stick with the KLR because it suits how I ride. I'm not a hard core off-roader. I just want to be able to go down pretty much any road that looks interesting, but I also want to enjoy the ride between the offroad bits. I also don't want to have to think too hard about which bike to take on the next trip (I used to have a few different types in the garage). I want one that will do most anything I'm likely to ask of it.
I pulled the motor to make a jig for the motor mounts. From this view it looks like an easy fit.
Alas, nothing but optical delusion.
I lost my original photos of the frame sans engine so here a few new ones.
Unfinished jig.
Criky that's nice you should start building and selling them. I looked pretty serious at this engine swap a couple of years back and what put me off was a really nice engine and really flawed suspension.well done though as I have done engine swaps before and you are too humble by a bunch
Nice! I would guess that further down the road we may see many more KLRE's! Very exciting prospect.
Your idea is fine, but I can think or at least 3 reasons why it is just not optimal.
1} Fuel tank volumn- The biggest tank you can get for either of those is maybe 4 gallons, a bit small for any long haul ADV riding, at least for meabyway.
2} Perimeter frame- The shape may make it hard to fit a twin between the spars and then that is where the tank needs to sit so that could be a REAL PITA. With a steel or aluminum tank you can do as KLRsys did and tap a dent here or there to fit over the bigger motor, not so with the plastic only tanks on a KLX/CRf......
3} Not street plateable in many if not most states anymore. Maybe back in the day, or if you were fortunate enough to get on plates previously that would be a great start, but here in Cali that is NOT gonna happen anymore.
Great idea, a light, great suspended, great handling, dirt oriented adventure bike with a smooth and powerful twin motor in it, but a DRZ, KLR, XL or some other street plated bike is about the only options here. All just mediocre options, but you take what you can get, OR custom build your own....if you are a better fab guy than me. Mods like this are in my range of building, but doing a whole frame jig up is past my skill and tools.
Oh, you can essentially exactly what you want, and describe... Just go to:
Of course, bring a big, *BIG* checkbook!
IMHO, what KLRsys is building makes a ton of sense. Just a shame Kawasaki has never seen the logic.
Regarding your sig line=
If you lived near me, you wouldd OFTEN see a motorcycle outside of MY psychiatrist office...but riding doesn't HURT my broken brain...it takes both components to keep me alive and out of prison.....lol
I am my own WORST enemy
The riding keep ME happy= The MEDS keep my wife happy.
A KLR that will do everything off pavement a stock KLR (motor) will do, then hit the pavement and rock down the road like a Versys. Thats what I'm talking about.
I don't want a KLR.
But I want one of these.
I got one and I LOVE!!!!! it.
Keep up the great work KLRsys.
I have an '05 that I would swap out if KLRsys was to make a kit. I would sell the low mileage 685 Big Head engine to help pay for the conversion.
Just wanted to show the pile of Versys parts that get used in the conversion other than the motor itself. Several of these parts are only partial used, like only the first inch of the header pipes are used, the instrument mount and surround are cut up, etc. The entire wiring harness and all electrics are used. I also have to use the longer chain off the Versys, but it has to be shortened a bit. This particular pile is going into the 09 KLR I'm currently working on.
Yeah, I'm lovin' mine too. Just wish I had more time to ride. I do get to spend 10 days in the Texas hill country over the holidays and that should be fun. But I'm telling you, I have a strong desire to ride this next one up to Victoria. I've never been to the north west but I've always wanted to go.
I keep thinking as I'm building what it would take to make a kit, but I'm getting the impression that creating a kit that anybody could install successfully would be far more work than building the bike. And then theres the liabilty issue to deal with...

Hi everyone,
First of all, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Dmitry, I am 20 and currently studying Computer Science at university. I have some programming experience in various languages, but decided to start studying Java. I think I still remember it's syntax and main features, but I want to become real good at it. Not only I want to study the technology itself, I also want to get a grip on developing serious applications with GUI.
At this moment, I can implement my idea, but I doubt that the architecture of the app would be any good, the style will probably lack elegance too. That's why I need your help.
I am planning to keep a blog of my progress, together with the full source code. The point of this is to get extensive feedback and criticism. I believe, besides tons of newcomers, there are a lot of skilled and experienced Java devs. This way, I get to study Java in a good fashion, but the Blog might be very useful to other newcomers, since they can read it and understand the process of developing a good application, commented by experienced developers.
I also want to say that I will gladly discuss all your comments, and you mustn't conceal anything from me. If a part of the code is bad, I don't hope to see "well, this isn't too good, but it'll work"... I hope to see "Man, what kind of an idiot would write that crap? Rewrite it, geez...". Just kidding, but you see the point. In order to get an ideal app, I must get rid of all the "holes" in it.
So what do you people think about this idea? I don't want to mess up this forum if I won't get feedback...
Cheers, Dmitry

AT LEAST 47 children have been killed after a train crashed into a bus carrying kindergarten kids to school in Egypt.
Distraught families searched for signs of their loved ones along the tracks and angry villagers berated officials in the aftermath of the latest disaster to hit the country's railway system.
The bus was carrying more than 50 children between 4 and 6 years old when it was hit near al-Mandara village in Manfaloot district in the province of Assiut, a security official said, adding that it appears that the railroad crossing was not closed as the train sped toward it.
Accidents traced to negligence regularly left scores dead during the rule of ousted President Hosni Mubarak, who was accused of valuing loyalty over competence in many appointments of senior officials. This is the worst such tragedy since the country's first freely elected president, Mohammed Morsi, took power this summer.
Books, school bags and children's socks were strewn along the tracks near the mangled bus. Parents of the missing wailed as they looked for signs of their children. An Associated Press reporter at the scene said many of the remains were unrecognizable.
A woman who called herself Um Ibrahim, a mother of three, was pulling her hair in distress. "My children! I didn't feed you before you left,'' she wailed. One witness said the train pushed the bus along the tracks for nearly a kilometre.
As one man picked up a body part he screamed: "Only God can help!''
Two hospital officials said between seven and 11 wounded were being treated in two different facilities, many with severed limbs.
All officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media.
Egypt's railway system has a poor safety record, mostly blamed on badly maintained equipment and poor management.
The railway's worst disaster took place in February 2002 when a train heading to southern Egypt caught fire, killing 363 people. Media reports quoted official statistics saying that the rail and road accidents claimed more than 7,000 lives in 2010.
The state news agency MENA reported that Transport Minister Mohammed el-Meteeni offered his resignation to President Mohammed Morsi.
The agency said Morsi ordered an investigation into the accident and said that those responsible would be held accountable, and that Prime Minister Hesham Kandil and the interior minister were headed to the scene of the accident.
At al-Mandara village, along the tracks, angry families and locals gathered around the scene of the traffic, shouting at officials. Some chanted: "Down with Morsi!''
Sheik Mohammed Hassan, a villager, said the government should be paying more attention to its domestic problems instead of focusing its attention to the violence in neighboring Gaza.
"The blood of people in Assiut is more important than Gaza,'' he said.

Gambling in the United States is more popular than ever before-but your house is the one thing you don't want to bet.
Upping the Ante
In the high-priced, low interest rate housing boom of the past several years, many homebuyers signed up for interest-only loans, payment option adjustable rate mortgages and piggybacks. In doing so, they generally bet on two things: that they would be able to refinance their way out from under future payments they might not be able to afford and that home prices would continue to go up and they would be able to sell later for a profit.
Today, however, home prices aren't accelerating as fast as in boom years, and affordable refinancing options may not be as available as interest rates go up.
A Safer Bet
In today's economic environment, mortgage insurance on a fixed rate loan is often a better deal, offering lower monthly payments and more stability. Mortgage insurance is designed for the low down payment market, often qualifying borrowers with a down payment of 3 percent or less.
"Compared to nontraditional loans, mortgage insurance on a fixed rate loan is simple, safe and smart," said Steve Smith, President and CEO of PMI Mortgage Insurance Co. "It's simple because unlike a piggyback loan, you have only one loan and one monthly payment, and because mortgage insurance drops off when it's no longer needed. It's safe because fixed monthly mortgage payments are predictable and stable-if interest rates rise, you won't feel it and you won't be hit with large balloon payments. It's smart because you don't need to wait to save a 20 percent down payment. Mortgage insurance helps you get into a house and start building wealth now."
Doug Long, CEO of Pinnacle Financial, one of the nation's fastest-growing, independently owned mortgage lenders, explained, "It's like the old adage says, 'If it's too good to be true, it probably is.' Mortgage finance products are no different, and borrowers need to be sure they are getting a good deal tomorrow, when monthly payments may go up, as well as today. Staying in your home shouldn't be a gamble."
Putting the Odds in Your Favor
When choosing a mortgage, understand the risks you're signing up for. By calculating the costs-not only today, but in the future, should interest rates rise, balloon payments become due or introductory periods end-you can take the gamble out of the mortgage finance game.

A group of artists in northwest Pakistan have installed a huge skyward-facing poster of a young child in a field to help raise awareness for the many victims of drone attacks in the region. The image shows a Pakistani girl whose parents, lawyers say, were killed in a drone strike.
Unveiled two weeks ago in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa region, the work was made with the help of French street artist JR, and is titled #NotABugSplat -- a reference to the term "bug splat" used in U.S. military parlance to refer to victims of drone attacks.
Since 2004, Pakistan's tribal districts on the border with Afghanistan -- which are home to Taliban and Al-Qaeda militants -- have been subject to numerous drone attacks. According to the Bureau of Investigative Journalism, these strikes have killed at least 2,296 people and 416 civilians.

Chris Hemsworth has a sequel in the works, but it's not a new movie.
The 30-year-old star of "Thor: The Dark World" and his 37-year-old wife, Elsa Pataky, are expecting their second child. The couple have an 18-month-old daughter, India.
Hemsworth's publicist, Robin Baum, confirmed the pregnancy, which was reported Wednesday by People magazine.
Earlier this year, the Australian actor told The Associated Press that fatherhood helped prioritize his life and see work "for what it is."
He said being with family is "what it's about."

Over 4 billion people in the world have cell phones. They're handy, portable, inexpensive and we wonder how we even got along with out them before we had one. Cell phones are here to stay, there's no doubt about that. But there are mounting concerns about the adverse health affects from radiation emitted from your cell phone.
Over 4 billion people in the world have cell phones. They're handy, portable, inexpensive and we wonder how we even got along with out them before we had one. Cell phones are here to stay, there's no doubt about that. But there are mounting concerns about the adverse health affects from radiation emitted from your cell phone. Nothing has been proven, but considering that a cell phone operates by sending out radio waves made up of electromagnetic radiation, it'd be wise to be conscious and make smart choices. All phones release radiation, but some release more than others, so one way to make smarter choices is to choose a phone that emits less. The Environmental Working Group has just provided a new online Cell Phone Radiation Guide providing the radiation levels for about 1,000 cell phones. What's your cell phone's radiation level?
Cell phones all have a Specific Absorption Rate (SAR), which is a way of measuring the amount of radio-frequency energy that is absorbed by the human body. As of 1996, this exposure limit was set by the FCC, and no phone can have a SAR level greater than 1.6 watts per kilogram (W/kg). As of 2000, the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) mandated that all cell phone manufacturers disclose radiation levels to consumers by placing a label on the phone. Personally, I have never seen a SAR rating disclosed for cell phones, so if the rating is listed, the manufacturers are certainly not advertising that information.
Which is why EWG created the online database. You may remember the EWG for their helpful Guide to Sunscreens to help consumers pick less toxic brands. They've done it again with an important guide to radiation levels in cell phones. Here's a list of the top 10 best phones and their radiation levels.
1. Samsung Impression (SGH-a877) - 0.35 W/kg
2. Motorola RAZR V8 - 0.36 W/kg
3. Samsung SGH-t229 - 0.38 W/kg
4. Samsung Rugby (SGH-a837) - 0.46 W/kg
5. Samsung Propel Pro (SGH-i627) - 0.47 W/kg
6. Samsung Gravity (SGH-t459) - 0.48 W/kg
7. T-Mobile Sidekick - 0.50 W/kg
8. LG Xenon (GR500) - 0.52 W/kg
9. Motorola Karma QA1 - 0.55 W/kg
10. Sanyo Katana II - 0.55 W/kg
As you can see, Samsung dominates when it comes to low radiation levels. The RAZR is also a very popular phone with a low SAR. Meanwhile the top 10 worst cell phones in terms of radiation are:
1. Motorola MOTO VU204 - 1.55 W/kg
2. T-Mobile myTouch 3G - 1.55 W/kg
3. Kyocera Jax S1300 - 1.55 W/kg
4. Blackberry Curve 8330 - 1.54 W/kg
5. Motorola W385 - 1.54 W/kg
6. T-Mobile Shadow - 1.53 W/kg
7. Motorola C290 - 1.53 W/kg
8. Motorola i335 - 1.53 W/kg
9. Motorola MOTO VE240 - 1.52 W/kg
10. Blackberry Bold 9000 - 1.51 W/kg
Smart phones and PDAs tend to have higher SAR levels. The rest of the phones fall in the middle, including some very important models.
* Apple iPhone - 0.97 W/kg
* Apple iPhone 3G S - 0.52 - 1.19 W/kg
* Palm Pre - 0.92 W/kg
* Palm Centro - 1.09 - 1.35 W/kg
* Blackberry Pearl 8130 - 1.48 W/kg
* Blackberry Storm 9530 - 0.57 W/kg
* T-Mobile G1 with Google - 1.11 W/kg
* T-Mobile Sidekick LX - 0.89 W/kg
If you are at all concerned about the health affects of cell phones, but like the rest of us are reliant on the gadget, here are some other ways to limit your exposure to radiation:
* Use a hands-free headset.
* Use a phone that places the antenna as far away from you as possible.
* Extend the antenna during use.
* Limit calls inside buildings.
* Use the phone in open spaces as often as possible.
* Limit use by children.

Israel has authorised the use of administrative detention against Jewish extremists following a recent upsurge in settler violence targeting Palestinians in the Occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem.
"We must not lose this battle and allow a violent, extremist minority to dictate our national agenda and way of life," Israeli defence minister Moshe Ya'alon posted on his Twitter account.
Last Friday, a group of orthodox Jewish settlers attacked a Palestinian family house in the West Bank village of Duma, south of Nablus, setting it ablaze.
The arson attack, in which an 18-month-old toddler was burnt alive, sparked international outcry over impunity of Jewish violence and forced Israel to tighten its security procedures regarding its Jewish inhabitants.
"We will not accept violence against anyone, especially when it is motivated by discrimination – of any kind," said Ya'alon.
On Monday, Israeli security forces detained Meir Ettinger, leader of Jewish extremists and a grandson of Meir Kahane, founder of a radical anti-Palestinian underground group called Kach, under administrative detention.
The case of Meit Ettinger is the first one, in which Israel approved the use of administrative detention against an Israeli Jew and later even sanctioned its extension based on Ettinger's alleged involvement in "nationalist crimes."
Shawan Jabarin, director of a Palestinian human rights organisation Al-Haq, told Al-Jazeera that the organisation registered an upsurge in settler violence targeting Palestinians with 42 incidents reported between January and May 2015.
"There is no accountability. Because of that, the settlers feel they are enjoying impunity," Jabarin told Al-Jazeera.
"The big picture is that Israeli settlers are attacking, shooting and burning Palestinians every day. The soldiers, the commanders, the Israeli political leaders are part of the crime," Jabarin added.
On Tuesday morning, Israeli defence minister Moshe Ya'alon signed another administrative detention order against Mordechai Mayer and Eviatar Slonim, two Jewish hardliners suspected of involvement in violent activities and terrorist attacks, reported Ma'an News Agency.
"We decidedly oppose the use of detentions and administrative orders against Jews. The draconian use of these orders goes around the court and effectively obviates the existence of the State of Israel," said representatives of Honeny, a legal aid organisation assisting Israelis accused of security crimes, The Times of Israel reported.
Administrative detention is a security measure ordinarily used by Israeli authorities to detain Palestinians without indictment or trial. The law was instigated in the region under the British Mandate.
"Detention without trial is necessary to stop further violence in cases where there is not enough evidence to prosecute suspects, or where going to court would risk revealing the identity of secret informants," Israeli Interior minister Gilad Erdan told BBC.
Israeli President Reuven Rivlin expressed his concerns over the upsurge in Jewish violence and condemned the recent arson attack, as well as the deadly stabbing during Jerusalem's Gay Pride Parade, as "acts of terrorism" in a recent Facebook post.
"I feel the pain over my people choosing the path of terrorism and losing their humanity. Their path is not the path of the State of Israel and is not the path of the Jewish people. Unfortunately, it seems that so far we've dealt with the phenomenon of Jewish terrorism limply," wrote Rivlin.
Rivlin's explicit condemnation of Jewish violence was met with aggressive response on social media with some of the comments threatening to "cut [him] up and stuff [him] into a shoe box," or labelling him "a dirty traitor," whose "end will be worse than Sharon's," reported Ma'an News Agency.
Meanwhile, anti-violent rallies were held across Israel with participants chanting slogans against hate crimes and condemning the recent wave of violence in the country. The largest protests took place in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem last Saturday.

it's not healthcare Trump wants to end, it's food safety laws. or at least his handlers do.
US dairy products do not meet Canadian health standards, and taste really weird. It was a major sticking point in the recent NAFTA talks. guess what your new dairy standards are going to be.
I also question their meat handling standards, but I believe they have similar ones to ours, so I'm looking at my own house on that issue; but much lower then EU standards.
The world is perishing from an orgy of self-sacrificing.
I only know scant details, and only from a cooking perspective; but the doneness of meat is heavily regulated due to risks of E.Coli that do not exist across the pond. My understanding is over here the cook is more heavily regulated where on you side the abituare bears the responsibility in regards to contamination.
but dairy is a whole other matter you may soon discover.
The world is perishing from an orgy of self-sacrificing.
surely restaurant serving regulations have 0 impact on cross-border trade with the US ?
If we get US milk over here, and it's shit, then I'll just stick to organic whole milk or the like.
It's not like they can force us to stop making our own milk and labelling it differently.

Can prepositions really be multiple words? Apparently yes. But what about the list of 52 prepositions that I've been looking at for years? Isn't that list definitive? Again, apparently not.
As the old French expression goes: Je dormirai moins bete ce soir! (i'll go to sleep less stupid tonight!)

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- Michael McNeese, former associate dean for research, graduate studies and academic affairs at Penn State's College of Information Sciences and Technology (IST), has been promoted to senior associate dean in the College of IST.
"This promotion recognizes Dr. McNeese's extensive academic and administrative contributions to the college and his leadership in the growth of the college," said David Hall, dean of the College of IST. "His new duties will include overseeing the research of the college, academic affairs covering faculty council, oversight of the promotion and tenure process, the annual faculty evaluation for all faculty and oversight of graduate studies, and online graduate and undergraduate education program."
Before joining Penn State in 2000, McNeese was director of the Collaborative Systems Technology Laboratory and a senior scientist at the Crew System Interface Division, Air Force Research Laboratory, at the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. He is widely published and has published two edited books: "New Trends in Collaborative Activities: Dynamics in Complex Systems" and "Cognitive Systems Engineering in Military Aviation Environments: Avoiding Cogminutia Fragmentosa." His most recent project is overseeing a new special issue (Nancy Cooke and Michael McNeese, co-editors) titled "The Cognitive Science of Cyber Defense Analysis." This issue is in press and will appear shortly in the journal ICST (Institute of Computer Science, Social Informatics and Telecommunications) Transactions on Safety and Security.
"I look at the promotion to senior associate dean as a unique opportunity for practicing the presence of what I call 'Super-Vision,' albeit not the hackneyed supervision you might think of, but the idea of generating and implementing the Super-Vision that can propel the College of IST towards reaching what is possible in the year 2020 less that seven years from now," McNeese said. "When it comes to research, education and technology, I am a strong believer in the power of human imagination and creativity."
McNeese, who has a doctorate in cognitive science from Vanderbilt University, studies how human-computer interaction and intelligent systems can improve naturalistic decision making, situation awareness and team cognition. He utilizes multiple methodological approaches inclusive of laboratory experimentation, cognitive systems engineering/design and ethnography. His research is highly trans-disciplinary and seeks new discoveries within the confluences of cognition, computation, collaboration and context for given fields of practice. He has studied domains including command, control, communication and intelligence operations; image and intelligent analyst workers; aviation/fighter pilots; emergency crisis management; and cyber security analysts.
McNeese was promoted to full professor with tenure at the College of IST in 2007. In January 2008, he was promoted to the role of professor in charge (the equivalent of a department chair). In February 2011, he was named as the associate dean for research, graduate studies and academic affairs.
"As we visualize our future in 2020, it is my distinct goal to provide leadership in the College of IST that develops sound strategic initiatives that seed progress that is culturally current, technologically sophisticated and socially conscious," McNeese said. "My ideal is to garner an IST community of radical thinkers who can transform leading edges into new contours that shape who we are now and implement the visions that will resonate in 2020."

1. Truly meaningful service is rarely convenient.
2. Service is not service if you advertise that you did it.
3. Wise parents see in every need of others a way to bring blessings into the lives of their sons and daughters (Henry B. Eyring, "Opportunities to Do Good," Ensign, May 2011).
My mother is a MASTER at giving service. She willingly sets aside large chunks of time to do service projects (ask me about the dolls and the bags and the toiletries and the blood). Even more amazing to me is her ability to see what needs to be done. She walks into a home and just knows that ______ is what needs to be done. My brain doesn't quite work that way, and when I get home and think, "I should have done ____," it seems too little too late (though I often still call and offer).
But wait, it gets better. Not only does my mother SEE what needs to be done, she DOES it. She doesn't worry about spoiling her clothes or missing her show or who might or might not see what she's doing. She just sees the need, rolls up her sleeves, and takes care of it.
Be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity (1 Timothy 4:12).
For the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified (Roman 2:13).
So here's my (very serious) question: How do YOU see what needs to be done? And how do you teach your children to serve?
