A FLASHER with a 'large stomach' exposed himself through the front window of a house in Accrington, while the female occupant sat watching television.
DC Jo Munro said the incident in Devonshire Street happened just before midnight on Friday.
She said: "This was very unnerving for this lady and we are very keen to trace the person involved as soon as possible. There was a similar offence in this area 12 months ago, we need the public's help to find this man and put a stop to it.
"If anyone has any information that they think might help, if anyone has seen either anything similar or has seen anyone acting suspiciously in the area then please call police on 101."
The man was described as having a stocky build with a large stomach. He was wearing a black quilted/padded jacket and ran off towards York Street.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – Saint Leo University head softball coach John Conway has announced the signings of three National Letters of Intent to join the Lions' softball program in the fall of 2012. The three signings, which include Victoria Obermeier, Brittany Ewing, and Kylee Hardesty, brings the 2012 NLI class to seven student-athletes.
The trio joins a quartet of early signees as Jami Lyn Schlecker (Coral Springs, Fla.), Aubrey Simco (Clermont, Fla.), Alana Tabel (Loxahatchee, Fla.), and Tiffany Fettig (Greenwood, Ind.) officially committed to the Lions last January.
"I am excited to have added these three high-quality players to our program in our second signing period," said Conway. "I believe that each will make an immediate impact to our program next spring."
In total, the Lions lost six seniors from the 2012 squad, but are helping replenish with three junior college transfers.
Ewing hails as the only Florida native, while Hardesty and Obermeier call Arizona and New Jersey home.
Victoria Obermeier
5-9, Outfield
Somerdale, N.J.
Paul VI High School/Burlington County College
An incoming Psychology major, Obermeier has built a steady resume during her high school and collegiate career. At Paul VI High School, the incoming junior was garnered with a pair of First Team All-Conference selections (2009, 2010), as well as a First Team All-Region nod. Her skills transitioned well to the college ranks as she was selected 2011 First Team All-Conference and First Team All-Region en route to Freshman Athlete of the Year accolades.
Conway's Thoughts: "Tori will bring much needed speed and experience to our outfield. She hits from the left side and has gap to gap power and her speed will add pressure to the defense when she is on the bases."
Brittany Ewing
5-6, Infield
West Palm Beach, Fla.
Palm Beach Gardens High School/Indian River State College
Seeing success early in her amateur career, Ewing assisted her Palm Beach Gardens High School to the state championship as a sophomore. After a second place finish by her team her junior season, she captained her squad during her senior season to their second title in three years. Posting a batting average of .401 during her time at Indian River, Ewing collected First Team All-Conference and First Team 'South' All-American.
Conway's Thoughts: "Brittany is a smart and aggressive middle infielder who possesses great leadership skills. She will make an immediate impact to our program both on and off the field. She was a junior college All-State and All-American player this past season. I expect that she will also make a strong contribution with her bat."
Kylee Hardesty
5-10, Catcher
Bullhead City, Ariz.
Mohave High School/Arizona Western College
Sister of former Lions' pitcher Lacey Hardesty (2000-03), Kylee was a consistent performer for her high school and collegiate teams. At Mohave High School she earned First Team All-Conference during each of her four seasons. Her senior year proved to be her most successful, however, as she posted a .366 batting average en route to an All-State selection. A .324 lifetime hitter at Arizona Western College, Hardesty concluded her two-year stint with a Third Team All-Conference selection.
Conway's Thoughts: "Kylee will bring big game experience and strong leadership behind the plate. She has a very strong arm and will challenge runners when on the bases. I also expect Kylee to add a strong bat with power to our lineup."

What Am I?Riddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.
I break knots in every strand,
Helping those who have it at hand,
Often found inside the spot,
Where cleaning's done quite a lot.
What am I?
AnswerA hairbrush! (A comb is also correct.)
The first two lines are saying that "I" break knots in every strand of hair. The third and fourth line are saying that "I" am often found inside a bathroom, where people clean themselves using the shower, bathtub, or sink.

Yahsat secures first-ever Shariah compliant space insurance
Al Yah Satellite Communications Company PrJsc (Yahsat) has successfully secured the first ever Shariah compliant space insurance policy. The insurance solution, which was specifically developed to meet Yahsat's needs, covers the launch and in-orbit operations of Y1A and Y1B, the Yahsat satellites scheduled to be launched in 2011.
Methaq Takaful Insurance Company and ElseCo Company, both companies based in the UAE, provided the insurance coverage. Willis Inspace, the specialized space division of the London based insurance broker Willis Limited, designed the takaful insurance coverage.
The uniquely crafted insurance solution was a seamless fit with the innovative technology, deep regional insights and fresh approach that Yahsat will bring to the markets and the customers that it will serve.
"Insurance protection is an integral part of our satellite program. With firm roots in the region, we are proud to be the first organization to use a new Shariah-compliant insurance solution for space programs. This augurs well in the development of the Takaful insurance market as well as make available an alternative market for space insurance products.," said Jassem Mohamed Al Zaabi, CEO, Yahsat. "Going forward, we are open to working with insurance providers in developing innovative and customised solutions to serve our needs."
"Methaq Takaful has worked very closely with its Sharia Supervisory Board and its Chairman to develop a first of its kind Shariah-compliant space policy for the Yahsat project. This policy reflects Methaq's keenness as well as its capability and expertise to think innovatively to provide specialised takaful solutions to its customers. It is also a testimony to the will and desire of Yahsat to encourage local Islamic financial institutions to provide such specialized insurance solutions," commented Mr. Abdullah Al Maamarri, Managing Director of Methaq Takaful Insurance Co.
"We are proud to have designed and placed this unique insurance solution for the benefit of Yahsat, after a thorough analysis of their needs. Willis Inspace continues to demonstrate its capability to provide uniquely customized risk management solutions and its ability to drive the best out of all insurance providers in the world." said Philippe Montpert, Managing Director of Willis Inspace.
Pierre-Eric Lys, Chairman of Elseco Limited commented: "This sophisticated insurance contract is innovative in many respect. It is the result of a long process involving several companies with very different background and expertise. We have managed to fulfil the requirement of our client. We are convinced that this contract will allow Yahsat to enhance its risk management and finance structure in many ways. Several other satellite operators and manufacturers have already expressed their interest for similar insurance products".

Golden Kebab TokensLogic puzzles require you to think. You will have to be logical in your reasoning.
A group of Mad-Ade's friends, although fewer than 10, found a number of Golden kebab tokens which they were able to divide equally among them.
After this division had been done, Norha Bone - one of the friends, suggested that it would be more equitable to divide the Golden kebab tokens by families rather than by individuals. Among them, there were two groups with two sisters; of course Norha Bone was not in either group. The rest of the friends were unrelated to each other. A re-division by families would have meant that the Golden kebab tokens per family were 5 more than the Golden kebab tokens per friend.
The friends argued among themselves over this way of dividing the Golden kebab tokens. Before a final decision is made, Wendy Boatkumsin - one of the friends, decided that she did not want any Golden kebab tokens. Her share was equally divided (without breaking/cutting any Kebab token) among the other friends.
Finally, Norha Bone decided to withdraw her suggestion of dividing the Golden kebab tokens by families.
How many friends were there and how many Golden kebab tokens did each friend end up with?
AnswerThere were a total of 6 friends. Each end up with 12 Golden kebab tokens.
The number of Golden kebab tokens is evenly divisible by the number of friends as well as the number of families.
Let's assume that N is the number of Golden kebab tokens each friend received initially and G is the total number of friends.
Then, total number of Golden kebab tokens = NG
If the Golden kebab tokens had been divided by families rather than by individuals, the number of recipients would be (G - 2) and each share would be (N + 5).
Again, total number of Golden kebab tokens = (N + 5)(G - 2)
But, the total number of the Golden kebab tokens is the same.
Now, N and G are the positive integers and also total number of Golden kebab tokens must be divisible by G, (G-1) and (G-2). This is because initially there were G friends; then since it was divided family wise, the total number of units, the coins were to be divided would be (G-2) (as two groups had two sisters, so two friends got combined as one group, one per group); and after Wendy Boatkumsin backed out, there were (G-1) friends.
Now trying different EVEN values for G, starting with 2; there were total 6 friends and 60 Golden kebab tokens. The Golden kebab tokens are divided among 5 friends and hence each friend ends up with 12 Golden kebab tokens.

SAP reported a strong growth in cloud revenue and fast adoption of its HANA platform in the first quarter, while its software revenue dipped from the same quarter in the previous year.
The business software company said Thursday its revenue grew 3 percent to a!3.7 billion (US$5 billion), while its cloud subscriptions and support revenue grew 60 percent to a!219 million in the quarter under IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards).
Its net profit grew 3 percent to a!534 million in the quarter.
SAP's annual cloud revenue run rate is now approaching a!1.1 billion, and subscribers of its cloud applications now exceed 36 million, the company said.
Reflecting the transition in the market from on-premises software and services to applications delivered through the cloud on a subscription model, SAP's software revenue in the quarter fell 5 percent to a!623 million. Its support revenue was up 5 percent to a!2.2 billion.
Software and software-related service revenue, which includes the cloud business, grew 5 percent to a!3 billion.
SAP is the only vendor "innovating in the core and transitioning to the cloud, and doing both profitably," co-CEO Bill McDermott said during a conference call Thursday.
The 2014 revenue and profit figures include revenue and profits from SAP's acquisition of Swiss e-commerce software vendor Hybris. The comparative numbers for 2013 do not include Hybris' revenue and profit until Aug. 1, 2013.
"We're about to disrupt the CRM business" with a combination of Hybris and SAP's CRM software, McDermott said on the call. "Why not?" he said, adding in an apparent allusion to the fast-growing but profit-lacking Salesforce.com, "the ones in the cloud now haven't made any money at it."
"CRM is no longer about sales force automation," McDermott said. "That's commodity. It's about managing your customers across every single touch point." What McDermott didn't acknowledge is that many other vendors, including Salesforce.com and Oracle, are also building out software portfolios aimed at that same goal.
McDermott also touched upon Fiori, a set of user-friendly, lightweight applications that expose data and processes from SAP's Business Suite software and can be deployed across multiple device types. SAP's ambition is to weave Fiori's "new and intuitive UI" into all its applications over time, McDermott said.
He did not allude to growing user resentment over the fact that Fiori must be purchased separately, rather than being included with the substantial annual maintenance payments customers pay for their Business Suite licenses. Suite customers have long bemoaned the software's clunky user interface and demand is mounting for SAP to change its Fiori pricing model.
The company did not change its forecast for 2014 at constant currencies that it provided in January. But it warned that its non-IFRS software and software-related service revenue and operating profit growth at actual currency could be hit in the second quarter and the full year if exchange rates stay at March levels for the rest of the year.
In the first quarter, growth in software and software-related service revenue in actual currency was down 5 percent from growth at constant currencies.
SAP's HANA in-memory database is seeing growing acceptance by users. Since launch in June 2011, the company claims more than 3,200 HANA customers, including close to 1,000 customers for SAP Business Suite powered by HANA, launched a year ago. Over 1,200 startups across 57 countries are building applications on HANA, with over 60 having products available commercially, SAP said.
"HANA is SAP," McDermott said. "HANA is the bedrock of our brand, of our soul. It will also stand on its own in the database market and we like our chances against anybody."
However, unlike in past earnings announcements SAP did not release revenue totals for HANA. Of late it has expanded the way customers can use the product, including through a new hosting service for the Business Suite.
Meanwhile, SAP saw double-digit software revenue growth at constant currencies in China, and had solid performance in the EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) region despite uncertainties arising from the crisis in the Crimea.
SAP saw some weakness in Japan during the quarter due to economic conditions there, said Rob Enslin, president of global customer operations, on the conference call. But SAP expects "a strong rebound" in Japan toward the latter half of the year, he added.
In the Americas, SAP reported in the quarter 10 percent growth in non-IFRS software and software-related service revenue at constant currencies and 37 percent growth in non-IFRS cloud subscriptions and support revenue at constant currencies.

Hand to Hand / People of Many
I recently contributed a photo to a wonderful project called, Hand to Hand. A whole bunch of really talented people donated images to be turned into postcards and sold by donation at shops around town. 100% of the proceeds go towards People of Many, a non-profit, literacy outreach program.
Heather sent all the contributors this great little book as a thank you for participating. I was happily surprised to find my work sitting along side another friend of mine – James Nizam.
Hit "more" for the full list of contributing artists and locations to pickup the postcards.

By Christopher Alden
A new Canadian opera, Pyramus and Thisbe by Barbara Monk Feldman, receives its world premiere today (appearing along with Monteverdi's Lamento d'Arianna and Il combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda). This modern triple bill not only features a striking new opera, but manages to cover almost the entire span of operatic history throughout its three parts. Director Christopher Alden expands on some of the historical and thematic ties between these pieces in his program notes.
During the past 400 or so years since it was first "invented" in Renaissance Italy, the operatic art form has always had an intriguingly schizophrenic nature. On one hand, it has always depended for its survival on the support of the rich and powerful patrons for whom a night at the opera is just as much a social as it is an esthetic experience. But on the other hand, with its magically alchemical mingling of words and music, opera has managed to penetrate into dark, mysterious and even painful realms of human experience, soothing its audience with sweet sounds while it tells its subversive stories.
The three musical tales which share the stage in tonight's "exotic and irrational entertainment" (as Dr. Samuel Johnson described it) span the entire history of opera, but share similar themes. Claudio Monteverdi's and Barbara Monk Feldman's pieces, all drawn from classical/mythological sources, address the spikily ambivalent nature of male/female relationships, the societal forces which conspire to throw roadblocks in the way of the deep human need to find spiritual and physical connection with another human being, and the eternal quest of us mortal beings to move beyond our ego fixations and find a richer and more organic relationship with existence.
Lamento d'Arianna, the only existing fragment from Monteverdi's second opera, became the composer's most celebrated and emulated piece in his day. Drawn from Ovid and other classical sources, the story tells of the Cretan princess, Ariadne, who falls in love with Theseus of Thebes, then helps him escape from the Labyrinth and kill her half-brother, the monstrous Minotaur. After this betrayal of her culture, Ariadne flees her homeland with Theseus, who rewards her by summarily dumping her on the first island they pass. He sails victoriously back to his kingdom as she laments her abandonment, alternating between extremes of sorrow, anger, fear, self-pity and desolation.
From a modern feminist perspective, Ariadne's predicament is the perfect metaphor of a woman's position in our patriarchal world. She trades her heritage, throne and power for a relationship with a powerful man. Worried that his people will not accept a foreign princess as their queen, he leaves her in the dust after she has given up everything for him, placing a higher value on his societal role than on hers. Ironically, audiences of Monteverdi's time might well have perceived Ariadne's story as teaching a moral lesson wherein a dangerously proud woman is justly punished for defying gender roles, betraying her father and choosing her own mate.
In Il combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda, the "heroine" confronts the Christian patriarchy head on. Taken from an episode in Torquato Tasso's epic poem, Gerusalemme Liberata, the piece thrillingly enacts the encounter of the Christian crusader knight Tancredi by the walls of Jerusalem with a mysterious Saracen opponent. They fight and the unknown infidel warrior is mortally wounded. Dying, the stranger asks to be baptized and is ultimately recognized by the traumatized Tancredi as his beloved Clorinda. The knock-out-drag-out fight to the death on the marital battlefield in Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? has nothing on Monteverdi's terse depiction of male/female aggression. It is the definitive dramatization of the Battle of the Sexes, portraying men and women as two separate species, forever unknowable to each other, locked in an enmity as everlasting as that of Christians and Muslims endlessly fighting for possession of the holy city Jerusalem. Tasso's metaphorical joust functions on multiple levels, showing us in painstaking detail how each man kills the thing he loves. The Narrator tells us that "Three times the knight holds the woman/in his strong arms and as often/she escapes his tenacious embrace,/the embrace of a proud enemy and not of a lover." Yet there is something undeniably erotic about this sadomasochistic encounter between ambivalent lovers, suggesting that the flip side of the fearful mysteries and secrets which men and women (or people in general) hide from each other is actually an intense attraction to the mysteriously seductive Other. From a modern cultural perspective, it seems a shame that Tasso's gloriously fearless female Saracen Clorinda is not only put down by the male crusader Tancredi but, before dying, begs to be baptized so that she may convert to his faith (once again depicting the inevitable triumph of patriarchal Christianity). But who can deny the beauty of this denouement, which sings so exquisitely of forgiveness and transcendence?
Pyramus and Thisbe is all about transcendence, even going so far as to transcend a conventional narrative structure in order to work its subtle magic as a theatre piece built not on action but on contemplation, stillness, even silence. Barbara Monk Feldman was initially inspired to write the opera not so much by the Pyramus and Thisbe story (recounted by Ovid, then famously used by Shakespeare as the script mercilessly but mirthfully mangled by the mechanicals in A Midsummer Night's Dream), but by Nicolas Poussin's painting depicting a pivotal moment in the tragic story.
The composer's libretto is a fascinating collage of fragments of disparate texts which does not attempt to recount Ovid's tale in a literal manner. The story concerns a pair of lovers separated by a wall which their fathers, mortal enemies, have constructed. The lovers, having found a chink in the wall, use it to communicate with each other, eventually devising a secret plan to meet by night. Thisbe is the first to arrive at the agreed-upon location, but is frightened away when she sees a lioness approach. Escaping, she drops her veil, which the lioness rips apart, leaving it torn and smeared in the blood from a recent kill. After the lioness departs, Pyramus arrives, sees the torn and bloody veil, and assumes that Thisbe has been murdered. Grief-stricken, he stabs himself only moments before Thisbe returns to find her dying lover. She then uses his bloody dagger to end her own life. This tale (which Shakespeare also used as the basis for the plot of Romeo and Juliet) is a classic reminder that "the course of true love never did run smooth." With its warring fathers, veritable Berlin Wall and climactic Liebestod, Ovid's story suggests that the true union of two souls is impossible in this imperfect world, achievable only after death.
Ovid's story is used as a jumping-off point to address the wider issue of coming to terms with existence. The first section, using a Faulkner text about a man collapsing the moment after he has been fatally shot, shows us Pyramus in the moment of his suicide, struggling with his own death-wish. The second section is taken from the opening poem of Dark Night of the Soul, a religious text by the 16th-century Spanish mystic, St. John of the Cross. It equates Thisbe's secret nocturnal journey to meet Pyramus with the journey of the soul to its blissful union with God, achieved through spiritual negation of worldly things. The rapturous atmosphere of this episode is tempered by Thisbe's awareness of worldly danger (the lioness). The pivotal moment in the opera occurs at the beginning of the third section, when Thisbe, in a text by the 20th-century German psychiatrist and philosopher Karl Jaspers, says to Pyramus, "Don't sacrifice yourself, be yourself!" In doing so, she urges him to transcend the endless mortal cycles of desire, aggression and ego fixation which are exemplified in the stories of tormented human interactions, like those of Ariadne and Theseus and Tancredi and Clorinda. When, climactically, Pyramus responds with stanzas from Rilke's ecstatic Sonnets to Orpheus, he takes up Thisbe's challenge and steps outside the box of traditionally dogmatic patriarchal assumptions to embrace a wider connection to existence, moving beyond his fear of the unknown, the unconscious, and finally of death itself.
Pyramus and Thisbe premieres October 20, 2015 and runs until November 7, 2015. For more information click here.

Out of a pool of 120 aspiring opera singers from across the country, we selected eight to compete at Centre Stage: Ensemble Studio Competition on November 3, 2015, our annual celebration of the next generation of opera stars selected from nationwide auditions for the COC Ensemble Studio – Canada's premier training program for young opera professionals. The competition features the young singers vying for cash prizes ranging in value from $1,500 to $5,000.
The young singers featured in the 2015 vocal competition are: mezzo-soprano Emily D'Angelo (Toronto); mezzo-soprano Lauren Eberwein (London, Ontario); soprano Eliza Johnson (Stratford, Ontario); mezzo-soprano Marjorie Maltais (Clermont, Quebec); soprano Samantha Pickett (Kitchener, Ontario); baritone Zachary Read (Halifax); baritone Bruno Roy (Montreal); and mezzo-soprano Pascale Spinney (Laval, Quebec).
[For mobile versions: Emily D'Angelo (Toronto); mezzo-soprano Lauren Eberwein (London, Ontario); soprano Eliza Johnson (Stratford, Ontario); mezzo-soprano Marjorie Maltais (Clermont, Quebec); soprano Samantha Pickett (Kitchener, Ontario); baritone Zachary Read (Halifax); baritone Bruno Roy (Montreal); and mezzo-soprano Pascale Spinney (Laval, Quebec).]
At Centre Stage, each finalist will give a performance showcasing their vocal technique, as well as artistic and interpretive range, before an audience and panel of judges. First, Second and Third prizes, worth $5,000, $3,000 and $1,500, are awarded, in addition to an Audience Choice Award selected by audience vote, worth $1,500. Select finalists are also invited to join the COC's 2016/2017 Ensemble Studio, to be announced at a later date.
"The level of operatic talent being trained in this country is incredible, which is why we created an event like Centre Stage in the first place, to celebrate that richness of talent," says COC General Director Alexander Neef. "We hear many promising voices through the Ensemble Studio audition process but it's how a singer's talent, hunger for an opera career and that unquantifiable 'X' factor come together that truly sets them apart. Looking at this year's Centre Stage finalists, the stage is set for an exciting preview of the operatic talent to watch in Canada."
Hosting Centre Stage this year are the competition's previous winners: soprano Karine Boucher and tenor Charles Sy, both current members of the COC Ensemble Studio. These two rising opera talents will oversee the evening's vocal fireworks on November 3, when the eight singers perform from the mainstage of Canada's first purpose-built opera house before an audience of 1,000 people and accompanied by the internationally acclaimed COC Orchestra conducted by COC Music Director Johannes Debus. Also performing is a surprise musical guest joined by the COC Orchestra led by Maestro Debus.
COC General Director Alexander Neef heads the jury for the vocal competition portion of the evening, joined by COC Director of Music and Artistic Administration Roberto Mauro, Director of the COC Ensemble Studio and Orchestra Academy Nina Draganić, and Head of the COC Ensemble Studio Liz Upchurch, as well as Canadian soprano and Ensemble Studio Head Vocal Consultant Wendy Nielsen, who is also a graduate of the COC's program. The judging panel deliberates on location and announces the competition winners at the event's conclusion.
In addition to winning the evening's cash prizes, finalists hope to earn a place in the COC's Ensemble Studio, which can be a singer's first step towards an international career. The Centre Stage audience will hear the singers selected to follow in the footsteps of such renowned Ensemble Studio alumni as Ben Heppner, Isabel Bayrakdarian, John Fanning, Wendy Nielsen, David Pomeroy, Joseph Kaiser, Allyson McHardy, Lauren Segal and Krisztina Szabó.
Doors open to the Four Seasons Centre (145 Queen St. W.) at 5:30 p.m. and Centre Stage takes place at 6:30 p.m. in R. Fraser Elliott Hall. Centre Stage Competition tickets are $100 and include a pre-competition cocktail celebration in the Four Seasons Centre's sparkling Isadore and Rosalie Sharp City Room. Specially priced $35 tickets are also available for patrons between the ages of 16 and 29 through Opera Under 30 sponsored by TD.
Following the competition, Centre Stage Dinner guests go on to enjoy an elegant formal dinner from the privileged vantage point of the Four Seasons Centre stage, joined by competition finalists and winners, notable COC artists and key supporters of the opera company. Guests are treated to a culinary experience by critically acclaimed chef David Lee, a rare opportunity to enjoy his gastronomic creations outside of dining at Nota Bene where Lee is the executive chef. Centre Stage Dinner tickets, encompassing the competitive vocal showcase and exclusive black-tie dinner, are $1,500, with a limited number available for purchase.

Did you know?
The accommodation and gardens at Elandsberg Eco Tourism are specially designed to accommodate otherly abled guests.
Your rooibos tea safari is conducted by Chris du Plessis, co-owner of Elandsberg Eco Tourism along with his wife, Annette. Both are West Coast locals with a deep passion for the region's unique plant life, cultural heritage, scenic beauty and cuisine.
There are two tour options, a rooibos tea farm tour and a fynbos safari, which can be taken separately or combined into an extended tour. Rooibos (Aspalathus linearis) is a species of fynbos endemic to the Clanwilliam Cederberg area, so the combined rooibos/fynbos tour will prove particularly interesting to those who want to find out more about the fynbos biome that makes up the Cape Floral Region.
The Groenkol Rooibos Tea Estate, where the tours take place, is unique in that all aspects related to the production of rooibos tea are done on the estate – from growing the seedlings through to the final packaging and marketing.
Also included in the tour is a discussion on how rooibos benefits the regional economy and how climate change is affecting this rare-plant crop.
The fynbos tour (approximately 1.5 hours) is adjusted according to what is happening seasonally in the veld (grassland). Du Plessis explains informally, but with zeal, how the fynbos of the Cederberg adapts to survive the region's very hot, dry, summer conditions, how the plants attract pollinators, and how they protect themselves against insects and pests.
During the tour, guests can also visit the farm's beautiful rock formations, which, according to Du Plessis, play a vital part in the ecology of the Cape Floral Region.
After the tour/s, guests are treated to special spiced rooibos tea, and can browse the estate shop's selection of rooibos products.

Need a Ride? Want a Rider? Michigan Tech Has an Online Solution
Last Modified 1:32 PM, June 16, 2016
August 12, 2008—
College students have always shared rides, usually finding a ride or riders by tacking index cards to a campus bulletin board. Now, at Michigan Tech, they have a high-tech option.
With the click of a mouse, students, faculty and staff—anyone with a University internet logon—can access an interactive map and find a ride or rider to or from Houghton. Created by the Inter-Residence Hall Council (IRHC), the IRHC Online Rideboard offers an electronic alternative to the physical ride boards in University residence halls.
"With the rising cost of gas, more and more people want to share rides," explained Dennis Cole Jr., lead developer of the IRHC Online Rideboard. Also, as enrollment increases, parking on campus is becoming more and more problematic, he pointed out. "We hope this provides an alternative for those who do not want to bring their cars to Tech," he said.
The physical ride boards have been used less and less over the past couple of years, Cole noted. Until two or three years ago, each year saw 50 or more notes on the physical ride boards in the residence halls, from people seeking rides or riders. Last year and this year, the number has plummeted to about five.
Some other schools have electronic ride-finders, but they are usually lists. "What makes ours different is that it's based on a map and uses graphic icons that users can post themselves," said Cole.
On the map, icons of cars mark available rides. Arrows indicate whether the driver is leaving Michigan Tech, returning or making a round trip. A caricature of a hand with thumb up identifies someone looking for a ride to Tech. If it's thumb down, the person wants a ride from Tech. Users can also post notes if they "need something odd."
The IRHC Online Rideboard opened for business July 23. During the fall semester, the IRHC plans to conduct awareness programs in residence halls.

I can't quite convey the monumental sigh of relief that should follow that statement, but it's definitely there. No more exams. No more waking up in a panic thinking that I've slept through any exams. No more dreams about forgetting to take exams. And my brain can go back to pondering what it ponders best: food and the myriad ways of preparing it.
I haven't resumed my regular cooking schedule yet - I'm still in the stage of giving my kitchen a much-needed cleaning. (The stove has been sadly neglected, and some of the forgotten items in the fridge managed to reach a rather alarming state.) But I can finally write about the baking that got me through finals with my sanity (mostly) intact.
You've already heard about the jamprint cookies. They were followed by mini-loaves of chocolate chip banana bread. Vegan chocolate chip banana bread, no less.
Banana bread isn't something I usually bake, because I usually don't have bananas on hand. However, a chance encounter with some red bananas at Haymarket the other week had left a few overripe specimens on my kitchen counter, and banana bread seemed like an appropriate solution.*
I opted for a vegan recipe because Virgin has been wrestling lately with the idea of returning to veganism, and she needed something to mitigate the misery of studying for Criminal Procedure. Banana bread is a baked good that is unusually well-suited to vegan-izing: most recipes use vegetable oil rather than butter, and mashed bananas are sticky enough that a batter will hold together without the addition of eggs. I cobbled together my own recipe after deciding that the version in Joy of Cooking looked too involved, with surprisingly good results.
A baking-powder batter in which the liquid component consists only of mashed bananas and oil bakes up into a bread that is moist without being gummy in the middle. It's denser than banana bread made with eggs, but I think it's actually better that way. And unless you tell, non-vegans will never guess that they're eating a vegan baked good.
"Vegan in the Volcano" Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
(Makes four mini-loaves.)
Preheat the oven to 350F.
In a big bowl, whisk together one-and-a-half cups flour, two teaspoons baking powder, one-third of a cup of sugar, a scant half-teaspoon of salt, and a quarter-teaspoon of ground nutmeg.
In another bowl, mash up one large ripe banana, or two smallish ones, enough for roughly a cup-and-a-third of mashed banana pulp. Stir in one-third of a cup of olive oil and half a teaspoon of vanilla extract. It will look like way too much oil, but keep stirring, and it will incorporate into the banana.
Once the banana mixture is smooth, add the flour mixture, a little at a time, until you have a stiff batter that's almost thick enough to be dough. (If it seems on the dry side, add another teaspoon or two of oil, but don't overdo it.) Fold in half a cup of dark chocolate chips.
Glop the batter into mini-loaf pans, filling them almost all the way. Set them on a baking tray and move to the oven. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a knife stuck in comes out with nothing more than melted chocolate on it.
Turn the loaves out on a wire rack to cool. Serve with coffee.
Note: For lighter (non-vegan) results, use a quarter-cup of olive oil and one well-beaten egg. If you do this, grease your tins very, very well, because they'll stick like crazy, and only fill your tins two-thirds of the way, because the mixture will rise more. (You'll probably get five mini-loaves out of this recipe, rather than four.)
*For the record, red bananas taste just like regular bananas.

Books and documentaries by Harun Yahya in various languages were exhibited on a stand at a book fair held in the U.S. state of Illinois on 31 August – 3 September, 2007, by the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), one of the largest Islamic organizations in America. The fair, 44th of which was held this year, attracted 40,000 visitors, and the works of Harun Yahya, Atlas of Creation in particular, attracted enormous interest.
The "Harun Yahya Creation Museum" fossil exhibition was also on show in the busiest part of the fair, and visitors to the exhibition, which displayed Atlas of Creation, expressed their positive reactions, thanks and prayers for the author's works.

Chennai, Sep 17 (IANS) Southern actor Aryan Rajesh, who is returning to Tamil cinema after four years with a string of films, says it's challenging to make a comeback in an industry plagued by cut-throat competition.
Rajesh is currently busy shooting for three Tamil films - "Eera Veyyil", "Thuttu" and "Vedikkai".
"I was out of action for personal reasons, but when I look around today, I find it difficult to accept the competition. There are so many actors nowadays that you don't know with whom you will have to compete when your film comes out. I think comebacks are not easy in the current scenario," Aryan told IANS.
Brother of Telugu actor Allari Naresh, Aryan also has a Telugu film lined up.
"I have been doing a film or two in Telugu. I haven't been active (on the film front), but I have managed to keep myself occupied. It's an edge-of-the-seat thriller and I'm sure audiences will love it when it hits the screens," he said.
As for his personal life, Aryan was recently blessed with a baby boy.
"Life's always busy with a baby around. He is going to be turn one soon and I can proudly say he completes me. My wife has been of great support and it is because of her, I have resumed acting after a hiatus," he added.
He is best known for films "Evadi Gola Vaadidi", "Anumanaspadam" and "Pokkisham".

If JetBlue Had Google Glass
If JetBlue Had Google Glass: A Vision of Stress-Free Air Travel
Earlier this month, Google accepted applications for Project Glass from nondevelopers for the first time — and while the #ifihadglass contest is now closed, the latest submission from JetBlue is impossible to ignore.
The low-cost airline posted how it would implement the smart spectacles to a Google+ album titled If JetBlue Had Glass. JetBlue puts the hands-free augmented-reality device to work in its nirvana-inducing vision of stress-free air travel.
In JetBlue's Google Glass mockups, travelers would never waste time looking for parking, plane tickets, power outlets, or baggage claim again. The airline put a practical lens on this high-tech eyewear of the future — and now it's up to Google to make it a reality. Experience stress-free travel via Google Glass, and let us know if you could see yourself using Google's wearable tech.

The Eternal Ones by Kirsten Miller
What I wrote before:
Reincarnation is a current literary trend. Haven has memories of a past love and seeks out the current incarnation of him. I don't always like reading those types of stories because I like when the romantic relationships in books are based on more than just fate. I ended up buying the book because I liked it so much.

Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust
Belzberg Architects
Los Angeles, California, USA
The museum emerges from the landscape as a single, curving concrete wall that splits and carves into the ground to form the entry.
The new Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust (LAMH) is located within a public park, adjacent to the existing Los Angeles Holocaust Memorial.
The building is submerged into the ground allowing the park's landscape to continue over the roof of the structure. Existing park pathways are used as connective elements to integrate the pedestrian flow of the park with the new circulation for museum visitors.
The pathways are morphed onto the building and appropriated as surface patterning. The patterning continues above the museum's galleries, further connecting the park's landscape and pedestrian paths.
The approach is pervaded by sounds and sights of people in the park. Because the building is partially submerged beneath the grassy, park landscape, entry to the building entails a gradual deterioration of this visual and auditory connection to the park while descending a long ramp.
Upon entering, visitors experience the culmination of their transition from a playful and unrestrained, public park atmosphere to a series of isolated spaces saturated with photographic archival imagery.
The experience of the building is largely dictated by the timeline of a visitor's passage from point of arrival through to his/her ascension back to park level from the underground exhibit spaces.
Visitors exit the museum by ascending stairs to the level of the black stone pillars, regaining the visual and auditory connection with the park environs.
By maintaining the material pallet of the park and extending it onto the museum, the hues and textures of concrete and vegetation blend with the existing material palette of Pan Pacific Park. These simple moves create a distinctive facade for the museum while maintaining the parks topography and landscape.
Designed and constructed with sustainable systems and materials, the LAMOTH building is on track to receive a LEED Gold Certification from the US Green Building Council.

Caravaggio's Crimes Exposed at the State Archives in Rome
An exhibition of documents at Rome's State Archives throws vivid light on his tumultuous life here at the end of the 16th and the beginning of the 17th centuries.
…He had frequent brushes with the police, got into trouble for throwing a plate of cooked artichokes in the face of a waiter in a tavern, and made a hole in the ceiling of his rented studio, so that his huge paintings would fit inside. His landlady sued, so he and a friend pelted her window with stones.
To explore an interactive sample of the documents, see the recent article from BBC News.

Ghaibat Tusi: It is narrated from Fadhl bin Shazan from Umar bin Aslam Bajali from Muhammad bin Sinan from Abul Jarud from Muhammad bin Bashar Hamadani from Muhammad bin Hanafiyah in a tradition condensed as follows that he said:
"The rule of Bani so-and-so will continue till a fixed time. When they get peace and security they will think that their kingdom will never decline. Meanwhile suddenly a divine command will arrive and no king will be able to remain in power. Thus the Almighty Allah says:
"… until when the earth puts on its golden raiment and it becomes garnished, and its people think that they have power over it, Our command comes to it, by night or by day, so We render it as reaped seed- produce, as though it had not been in existence yesterday; thus do We make clear the communications for a people who reflect." (Surah Yunus 10:24)
Hence when famine and deprivation increases and people begin to deny each other, you should expect the arrival of divine command day and night."

A GROUP of 34 visitors from Kendal's twin town of Rinteln and its surrounding area will be staying in the town over the next month.
The visitors are part of a German organisation called Landfrauen which is similar to the English Women's Institute.
The group has a special interest in people who live and work in rural areas and are visiting the Kendal area between Friday and Monday to find out more about local farming and rural communities.
During their stay the visitors will meet up with Ruth Rigg, Chairman of the Cumbria and Westmorland Federation of Women's Institutes, for an exchange of ideas over coffee.
Philip Ball, chairman of the Kendal-Rinteln Twinning Association, who will also be at the meeting, said: "It's a great pleasure to welcome a new twinning group to our area with interests in local agriculture and I hope that the contacts made during this visit will continue to grow in the future."
Other events lined up for the group include a coach trip to the Lake District National Park , visiting a working farm at Low Sizergh, near Kendal, and a visit to Holker Hall with a special interest in their gardens. The visitors will also do a guided walk around Kendal led by local resident Richard Pealing, a member of the twinning association.
On their way back to Germany the group will visit the Wensleydale Creamery in Hawes.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Here are 10 things you should know for Wednesday, Sept. 25: 1. -- U.S. stock futures were pointing to a flat start for Wall Street on Wednesday as global stocks declined amid political gridlock in Washington over the federal budget. European stocks were moving lower. Japan's Nikkei 225 index fell 0.8% to close at 14,620.53. South Korea's Kospi lost 0.5% to finish at 1,998.06.
2. -- The economic calendar in the U.S. Wednesday includes durable goods orders for August at 8:30 a.m. EDT, and new-home sales for August at 10 a.m.
3. -- U.S. stocks on Tuesday fell as the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average declined for a fourth consecutive day driven by uncertainties about the course of the Federal Reserve's economic stimulus program. The S&P 500 declined 0.26% to 1,697.42. The Dow shed 0.43% to 15,334.59. The Nasdaq edged up 0.08% to close at 3,768.25.
4. -- Tea party conservative Sen. Ted Cruz on Tuesday vowed to speak in opposition to President Barack Obama's health care law until he's "no longer able to stand," even though fellow Republicans urged him to back down from his filibuster for fear of a possible government shutdown in a week. "This grand experiment is simply not working," the Texas freshman told a largely empty chamber of the president's signature domestic issue. "It is time to make D.C. listen." Egged on by conservative groups, the potential 2016 presidential candidate excoriated Republicans and Democrats in his criticism of the 3-year-old health care law and Congress' unwillingness to gut the law. Cruz supports the House-passed bill that would avert a government shutdown and defund Obamacare, as do many Republicans. Cruz started talking just before 3 p.m. on Tuesday. By 5 a.m. Wednesday, he had been speaking for more than 14 hours.
5. -- JPMorgan Chase ( JPM) has offered to pay about $3 billion as it seeks to settle criminal and civil investigations by federal and state prosecutors into its mortgage-backed-securities activities, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing a person familiar with the discussions. The Justice Department rejected that sum as billions of dollars too low for the number of cases involved, according to the person. But the discussions have widened to include other investigations of JPMorgan, and the final tally could be larger, the person told the Journal. JPMorgan faces at least seven Justice Department probes, on matters ranging from energy trading to its hiring practices in China.
6. -- Amazon ( AMZN) plans to unveil Wednesday two new versions of its tablets -- the Kindle Fire HDX -- with 7-inch and 8.9-inch screens. The 7-inch and 8.9-inch versions have sharper, more colorful displays than older models, and both have more pixels per inch than the latest iPad, according to The Associated Press. The new Kindles also come with a feature called "Mayday", which allows users to summon a live customer service representative in a tiny video window.
7. -- Tokyo Electron shares jumped more than 13% in trading in Asia Wednesday after reaching an agreement to be acquired by chipmaker Applied Materials ( AMAT) in a $9.39 billion all-stock transaction.

In our ongoing attempt to try and find healthy recipes that still pack some flavor, last night we grilled some chicken and topped it with a grilled corn salsa and let me tell you....it did pack some flavor and a bit of heat.
Here were the players for the salsa. There are actually more than what went into it, but since I was making this recipe up as I went along, I wasn't sure what I would need and erred on the side of caution
Ready for some chopping
Salsa done and ready to sit in the fridge for an hour or two
Sprinkled some Dizzy Pig Fajita-ish rub on the chicken and grilled them at 400F for about 8-10 minutes and then topped with the salsa. One thing I would do different next time is not grill the tomatoes. I'm just not a fan of grilled tomatoes. I think they get mushy and the skin came off. I'd rather just dice them and throw them in raw.
After dinner, sitting on the porch, we spotted a double rainbow
And because it was a special day.....Griffin's Grub's first birthday...we had some cake. Ok, ok....so it was store bought. Mrs. G doesn't really eat cake and I wasn't gonna make a cake and eat it all by myself, I just bought a slice of Lemon Creme Coconut Cake. It was still tasty.
If you are interested in the recipe for the salsa, head over HERE and check it out.

"I was extremely impressed not only with the quality of the product but at the edits from the designer. They actually took the time to redesign the font to a better version. Would absolutely recommend this site!!!"
"The quality of the paper and envelope are great. They are thick and smooth — very professional. You can choose from a few shades for the "THANK YOU" words. I went with pure white, which made it brighter than the sample image. One thing about the printing: it's darker than the online image shows. It's still a beautiful purple color, just a really dark one."
"I love my thank you cards. I ordered extra so I could have some for myself. They came so fast and were perfect. Thank you! :)"
"Very pretty thank-you notes on textured paper give the card a watercolor feel. I ordered these to use as thank-you notes for shower gifts and I'm very pleased with them - would definitely reorder!"
"We purchased these thank you notes because they coordinated with our invitations. Great quality and an elegant yet fun design. I can't wait to mail them out!"

A 55-YEAR-old man stood in Blackburn's Mall shopping centre urinating in full view of members of the public.
The town's magistrates heard that David George Hoyle fell to the floor shouting abuse before being arrested.
Hoyle, of Woodside Road, Accrington, pleaded guilty to outraging public decency.
The magistrates initially said they were considering a custodial sentence but adjourned the case for a pre-sentence report.
Catherine Allan, prosecuting, said the incident took place at 4.20 pm outside BHS inside the Mall. "There were numerous shoppers, including children, in the centre at the time," said Miss Allan.
She said Hoyle had been given a conditional discharge for being drunk and disorderly in November and a similar sentence when he appeared for the same offence on December 5.
"That was the date of the latest offence and it would appear that having been given a conditional discharge he has left court, got drunk and behaved in this manner," said Miss Allan.
Gareth Price, defending, said: "He accepts he is an alcoholic and says he is drinking between two and three bottles of whisky a day."
Mr Price said his client realised he had to do something to fix his problems and had been in touch with several organisations.

PAOLO Di Canio is targeting a new arrival at Swindon Town before January 12, as he looks to build a squad capable of securing promotion from League One.
The Robins boss is believed to still be pursuing Sheffield Wednesday striker Gary Madine, whose services he failed to acquire on emergency loan deadline day in November, and he wants a fresh face in place in time for the trip to in-form Bournemouth next month.
As of Saturday, however, the Italian had yet to hear from the County Ground money men and therefore he was unsure how substantial his financial clout will be in the January transfer window.
"I don't know what's going on and I still haven't received one phone call," he said. "It's not an accusation of the board but just because I want to do my best for the club and also for them.
"Now there is more positive energy around and I want to do the best I can to keep the players I have now and why not bring in someone else?
"If we can I would like to bring in a player between January 5 and January 12, and a player that I have in mind since three months ago. We will see."
One player Di Canio has been impressed by in recent weeks is on-loan midfielder Danny Hollands. The Italian is unsure whether or not he will have the chance to extend the Charlton man's spell in Wiltshire, but he stressed that he would love to keep the 27-year-old with the Robins.
He said: "Danny Hollands in the first two games I thought 'who have we got in here, a ghost?' "He had a little problem, now in the last two games and in the training sessions he is the player probably over my expectations but he is the player that I knew was good.
"He is the one when he's under pressure in the middle he has the time to go out on the ball with experience. I would like to keep him but I know it is hard."

SAINT LEO, Fla. – Paul Mangen, head men's and women's swimming coach, has unveiled his team's 2012-13 schedule.
The line-up, which features 15 new student-athletes, will compete in 10 regular season meets, including three home contests. The men's roster features eight of those new swimmers, while the women welcome in seven swimmers.
"We have some difficult meets lined up this season," said Mangen. "Still, I feel we have been training hard and are doing what is necessary to make sure we can compete head-to-head which each of our opponent."
The Lions will open the season with a Sunshine State Conference showdown dual meet with foes Florida Tech and newcomer Lynn University (Oct. 13). The Panthers feature a bolstered line-up, as well as a new pool, while the Fighting Knights are new to the conference slate.
A week later, the Lions will make a trip to Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. to compete with national powerhouse Nova Southeastern (Oct. 20). Back-to-back SSC Champions, the Sharks feature a deep, talented, and disciplined squad.
"Swimming talented programs like NSU will allow us to be challenged," said Mangen. "Meets like this will push us to make the next step in our two program's development.
A trip to Winter Park, Fla. to swim against rival Rollins (Oct. 27) is next on the schedule. A growing rivalry, the two teams have finished next to each other in the standings the past three seasons, including a rare dual meet tie in 2011-12.
The Lions second home meet will occur on Nov.17 when rival the University of Tampa comes to the Bowman Center Pool. Taking down the Spartans a year ago, the Lions will look to defend their pool in the anticipated rematch.
The Lions will then travel to Savannah, Ga. to compete in the SCAD Invitational (Nov. 29). That four day meet will lead into a dual meet with Pfeiffer University (Dec. 31) and the Orange Bowl Classic as the Lions will join a host of other schools, including top-tier Division I, II, III and NAIA teams, at the Orange Bowl Classic (Jan. 3) in beautiful Key Largo, Fla.
Saint Leo will stay on the road for a re-match dual meet with Florida Tech and Lynn (Jan. 12), before returning home for a senior day rematch with the Rollins College Tars (Jan. 26).
The Sunshine State Conference Championships (hosted by Nova Southeastern) will occur from Feb. 13-16 from the Long Center in Clearwater, Fla., and the NCAA National Championships (Mar. 6-9) will cap off the 2012-13 year.

Just goes to show you can be super smart and yet very dumb at the same time.
Oh please, this was just a Apple playing Comex.
Comex should have known when Apple hired him and add condition to stop him from jailbreaking, he should read closer and adjust the condition to employment.
Then he would know to add a condition that he will stop jailbreaking as long as he is in Apple's employment, but will be free to jailbreak once he leaves. Without this Apple can terminate employment and still get what they want.
I don't believe in coincidences. That being said, it seems to be rather good timing (for Apple) that Comex was interning when the 4, 4S and the 5 was released. The 5 has dropped and the same can be said of Comex. Apple played that dude.
Got what knowledge they could from him in securing the 5 as much as possible. Then dropped him like a bad habit.
I'm sure he signed some type of clause, as mentioned, that prevents him from jailbreaking (at least publicly). All he has to do is get down like a few others we've all grown to know and love then make that come back. ie Bruce Wayne, Oliver Queen, Barry Allen, etc.
Please come back to us, nobody has to know! We need you now more than ever...
Hope this helps in getting ios6 jailbreak sooner than later
As a software and electrical engineer who would love to have that job, I'm glad you were terminated from Apple. All you have to do is play along with your employer's games and you'll have an awesome job for life... or just answer them and tell them you want to finish your degree before desiring a full-time job with them. Don't ignore an e-mail from one of the highest grossing companies in the world offering you a job...
just stupid, but I may be in the minority who actually wants to be an Apple Engineer...
@DloodNreaper you're doing a lot to help. Thanks for the productive response.
Womp womp who cares. Galaxy S 3 is the sh*t. Absolutely dominates any iPhone.
Are you guys that slow ?!
Comex had an Internship with Apple, not a Million Dollar Contract !!
Do you think Comex is Intelligent enough to crack a smartphone but Dumb enough to Sign an Internship Contract that would prevent him to Jailbreak an Apple device During and After his Internship with Apple ?! Do you really think that ?!?! Maybe that's what YOU would do! Comex ain't stupid or dumb.
Comex Contractual Agreement ceased when Apple terminated their Contract (yes it was done with both parts).
For all we know, Comex is already Jailbreaking iPhones ... You really think he would sign something that would prevent him Jailbreaking an Apple device for 2, 3, 5 or 10 years AFTER leaving Apple ?! Man smarten up a little bit!
"Apple played Comex" well both of them played themselves or you really think he was there clocking his hours and doing assignments and **** ?! Comex now knows A LOT about Apple than any of us do and will use this to His (and ours) Advantage soon .........

Anwar al-Awlaki was killed in an air raid in Yemen, the US confirmed on Friday. He was regarded by western intelligence agencies as the most dangerous figure in the global al-Qaeda network. But what else do we know about the US-born cleric?
Q: Who was Anwar al-Awlaki?
Al-Awlaki, a US citizen and son of a former high-ranking Yemeni official, was a radical cleric and advocate of "Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula," based in Yemen. The Yemeni offshoot of the global terrorist movement has carried out several innovative attacks aimed at the US. Notorious examples include the shipping of explosives hidden in printer cartridges, and the attempt to kill a Saudi official with explosive powder lodged in an attacker's body cavity. Read more
