In her latest historical fiction bestseller, Jeanne Kalogridis tells the story of Caterina, a tender young girl, destined to be a pawn in Machiavellian games. Left a fabulously rich heiress, imprisoned and threatened by her family's enemies, she was finally married off to a handsome prince of France. Overshadowed by her husband's mistress, the conniving Diane de Poitiers, and now consort to a King, Catherine resorted to sorcery to win his love, enhance her fertility and foil her enemies. Against the lavish and decadent backdrop of the French court, and Catherine's visions induced by the black arts, Kalogoris reveals the great love and desire Catherine bore for her husband Henry, and her stark determination to keep her sons on the throne.

"Very interesting twist on this infamous queen"
I enjoyed this take on Catherine M. History tends to make her out to be an evil, calculating, cold woman. This book gave a refreshing point of view on the struggles of women in the political scene of Renaissance Europe. Her involvement with astrology/occult and her keen intelligence of people, politics and herself, even at times very lurid and gritty, was very provocative.
I am really not in to romance.. I like historic writing the are fiction but follow closely to historic time lines.
Yes, I did not sleep for days. could not stop listening.
A better understanding of Catherines place in history
When she was being lifted up on the wall.
"Great Reader but..."
Repetitive, repetitive, repetitive; then it begins to repeat itself. There was such a queen. She may have been a believer in Astrology.
For this reader's taste, far too many visions/dreams, too many times the same thing happens -
There's some great historic fiction out there. This isn't one of them.
Ms. Reading is a superior reader and made a truly awful book almost bearable.
Far too often the Queen (dare I call her Catherine?) has visions. Yuck. She's written as a wily and brilliant negotiator - doing incredibly short-sighted things.
One foreshadowing of her husband's death was plenty. Ditto the rest.
"Engaging and Entertaining"
I enjoyed this audiobook very much. The narrator was excellent, and really conveyed the tone and mood of the book well.
The story was extremely engaging and was one of those "hard to put down" books. I love that all of the French names were pronounced correctly as well. This grand overarching story of Catherine di Medici was an great read.
Dixie Diva
"Slow start, great book. Love Jeanne!"
I've been a Jeanne Kalogridis fan for years. This is just one more installation of her historic genius.
"Catherine Medici"
This book is enjoyable. It has made me want to read more abouth Queen Catherine and her family.
I love historical fiction and thought I would like to read about Catherine de Medici. I guess I picked the wrong book. I almost did not go beyond the first part of the download. I could not stand the character as a child and found her to be so simpering and annoying that I wondered why anyone would write about her, let alone want to read about her.
It picked up a bit in the middle section, and then lost me again in the end. Too much intrigue, too much astrology ( and I can't believe I would say that, but I was tired of it), and too much of poor decision making that led to disasterous consequences. It took me quite a bit longer to get through this story because I found my mind wandering and I kept having to repeat sections to get caught up. I'd rather read something that keeps my attention.
Again, it's personal preference but this story just did not hit the mark for me.
"I can't continue with this wretched book."
If the author of this book has intended to portray the most insufferable and tiresome child in the whole history of English literature, then she has succeeded beyond her wildest dreams. If the author hoped that the narrator might have the sort of whining voice entirely suitable for such a repellent child, then her hopes are fulfilled. As for me, I cannot continue listening. Absolutely nothing about the pretensions of this unlovable child are of the slightest interest to anyone with an adult mind. If the endless monologues are intended to set the stage for a grown-up who was to become a pivotal figure in English history, then all I can say is that the Tudors were lucky to come to power because the fact that no one did away with this child before she produced a child is a miracle. Save your money. This is not a book worth reading or hearing.

The track is hoping to host a three-day country music festival next summer. The event would draw an estimated 20,000 music fans per day, with an estimated 5,000 attendees camping out on the Speedway grounds. "Our team is geared specifically for these types of events, and have honed our skills over the years, and to not be boastful, but we are pretty good at it," said David McGrath, the Speedway's general manager.

Americans Hit The Brakes On NASCAR By Frank Deford • Mar 21, 2012 Individual sports are always volatile, and after being the next big thing, NASCAR's popularity has stalled. A lot had to do with the economy. In a sport that depends on sponsorships and rich owners — like those good buddies Mitt Romney kicks tires with --– NASCAR was especially vulnerable.

The tapping will begin at 6:00pm sharp. * FRESH ALT-ERNATIVES Owen Ogletree's Altbier report from Dusseldorf, Germany - published originally in Beer Advocate magazine - http://www.beeradvocate.com. See the video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dx11rFFDq5I. Allied bombs ravaged the industrial city of Düsseldorf in the North Rhine-Westphalia region of Germany during World War II, and only a few medieval structures remain in the old part of town (Altstadt). Düsseldorf hardly ranks on any list of top tourist destinations in Germany, but locals and hard-core beer aficionados from around the world hold the city in high esteem because of its delicious and unique style of ancient brew. A waiter at Düsseldorf 's Füchschen brewery tap informs customers in broken English, "Our wonderful Altbier - good for liver, kidneys - you feel good in morning." A separate group of patrons smiles and nods in agreement. Altbier commands an almost maniacal devotion among citizens of Düsseldorf. While lagers and German Pilsners reign supreme in most areas of the country, Altbier accounts for almost half the beer consumed in Düsseldorf, and local Altbier breweries and quaint brewpubs churn out surprising volumes of the antique beer style. Usually served by gravity taps from wooden casks, Düsseldorfer Alt is consumed from small 0.2 or 0.3 liter cylindrical glasses. "Alt" translates as "old," and modern Altbiers represent living examples of an age-old style of top fermenting ale popular in Germany before Bavarian lagers became the rage in the 16th and 17th centuries. Düsseldorf's moderate climate provides an ideal environment for brewing the special ale. Production usually involves a primary fermentation at 55-65° F, followed by a cold lagering period that somewhat reduces the fruity esters associated with most ale styles. A classic Düsseldorf Altbier should exhibit clean, yet subtly complex, German malt and noble hop aromas. No cooked corn (dimethyl sulfide) or butterscotch (diacetyl) should be detected. Amber to very light brown color range is typical, along with brilliant clarity and an enduring head. In regard to flavor, a crisp, moderate, German malt character should balance substantial hop bitterness (25-50 IBUs) and light to moderate noble hop flavor. Slight fruity esters from the ale yeast may persist in some examples, along with light/medium body and moderate carbonation. Original gravities of 1.046 to 1.054 are typical, and final alcohol percentages fall within 4.3 to 5.5 ABV. German malt varieties such as pilsner, Munich, crystal, wheat and a small quantity of dark varieties such as chocolate or black malt may make up Altbier grain bills. Pilsner malt provides highly attenuative sugars and a light/medium mouthfeel in the final beer, while Munich malt often contributes a pleasant, toasty character. Noble hop varieties such as Hallertau, Tettnang and Spalt hops render aroma, flavor and bitterness reminiscent of flowers, pepper, wood tannins and/or light perfume. Andreas Schumacher, head brewer of the delightful Uerige brewpub, says, "It's important to try fresh Altbier in Düsseldorf. There is a big difference in the beer here in our brewpubs and the bottles sent to America. Altbier is so special because it follows the very old traditions of the region - our beer is made by hand in the very traditional way." Unfortunately, very few U.S. beer lovers or brewers venture to Düsseldorf to experience the Altbiers, and the bottled exports tend to suffer from the trip and die from oxidation on American shelves. In Düsseldorf, the extremely fresh, sessionable Altbiers exhibit elegant complexity, lingering hop/malt flavors, and a surprising measure of variability from brewery to brewery. ALTBIER NOTES: Uerige Bergerstrasse 1, Düsseldorf Altstadt - An extremely popular, multi-room pub with labyrinth-like brewery located in the back. Altbier is served from beautiful old wooden barrels that are hoisted onto the bar by 2-3 waiters. - Altbier: Mild aromas of woody, slightly floral hops in the nose; malt aroma is low; esters are moderate. Color is deep copper with a light layer of ivory foam from light/medium carbonation. Overall impression is a hoppy, dry Altbier with light/medium body, low sweetness and impressive tannin-like bitterness. Flavor profile includes mild caramel, moderate toast notes and subtle, fruity esters. A delectable, toasty, woody flavor lingers on the palate to help create one of the most memorable Düsseldorf Alts. Schlüssel Bolkerstrasse 41-47, Düsseldorf Altstadt - This brewpub, located in the heart of the Altstadt, showcases its Altbier tap in the front and dining rooms toward the back. Due to severe damage during World War II, the exterior and interior of the pub saw refurbishment in recent years, with much of the original Old World charm being preserved. - Altbier: German malts dominate the aroma and produce a grainy, toasty note. The aroma hops are floral, and esters almost unnoticeable. This dark copper Alt produces a long-lasting, creamy, substantial ivory head and lots of lace on the glass. Mild flavors of bread, light caramel and toasted malt meld with slight floral, woody hops and very subtle esters to produce a beer not nearly as dry and bitter as Uerige's. A hint of toasted nuts highlights the finish. Füchschen Ratinger Strasse 28, Düsseldorf Altstadt - Quaint, homey pub on the north end of the old town. The colossal food menu includes rustic, hearty German cuisine. - Altbier: Light citrus and grape esters peek through in aroma and flavor. The appearance includes a copper color and resilient, medium, off-white head. A medium-bodied, creamy, complex Altbier with fruity notes, toasted grain character, and a spicy, mineraly, peppery note and medium hop bitterness in the finish. Schumacher Oststrasse 123, Düsseldorf-Stadtmitte - Düsseldorf's only traditional Altbier brewery that's located just outside the Altstadt. Despite the fact that this is also the city's oldest brewery, portions of the interior appear fresh and refurbished. - Altbier: Floral hops, mild fruity esters and a subtle sulfur note mingle with light grainy, toasty malts in the aroma. A thin ivory head sits atop the clear, copper-hued ale, and bready, toasty flavors control the malt flavor profile. Hops are floral/woody in flavor and produce mild bitterness. Hints of agreeable esters and mineral-like notes come through in the light-bodied, dry, slightly watery finish. Frankenheim Wielandstrasse 14-16, Düsseldorf-Stadtmitte - The brewery, once located in a complex behind the pub, relocated to a large, modern facility outside of town to keep up with German and export demand. Located several blocks northeast of the Altstadt, Frankenheim's taphouse offers several dining rooms and a bar area filled with artifacts from the old brewery. - Altbier: Light fruit, dark malt, toast and light hoppiness comprise the aroma profile. Brown in color, this is a very dark example of the style (21-22 SRM). Flavor balance is definitely toward toasty, nutty, slightly roasty malts; and hops show an herbal quality. Bitterness is moderate and countered by a pleasant, fruity note. Medium-bodied with light carbonation and mild creaminess. Diebels Fasskeller Bolkerstrasse 14-16, Düsseldorf Altstadt - A smoky, single room pub that showcases the mass marketed Diebels Altbier from InBev. Available on draft and in bottles in several countries (including the U.S.), Diebels is the world's largest producer of Altbier. - Altbier: Very slight aromas include floral hops and a hint of dried stone fruits. A large, creamy, ivory head rises from the dark copper colored beer. Slightly sweet flavors of caramel, mild fruit, light toast and grains dominate very mild hop undertones and create a light/medium body and smooth finish. Ratinger Brauhaus Bahnstrasse 15, Ratingen (15 km north of Düsseldorf) - This brewpub in a "suburb" of Düsseldorf houses a cozy dining room to the right; a middle bar area with traditional, dark wood; and a bright, refurbished room to the left with faux rock walls and models of brew kettles. - Altbier: Aroma leans toward malt with hints of cherries and banana. At 21-22 SRM, this brown Altbier comes in at the dark end of the style's color range and throws dark cream/beige foam with medium head retention. There's a substantial carbon dioxide prickle on the tongue and a note of hazelnuts and caramel in the aftertaste. Velberter Brauhaus Friedrichstrasse 102, Velbert (40 km northeast of Düsseldorf) - A smoky, neighborhood brewpub filled with locals enjoying their Altbier. Quaint trinkets and decor from the town adorn the walls. - Altbier: Light aromas of well-balanced, toasty malt and floral hops set the stage for a clean flavor profile that includes light/moderate noble hop bitterness; elegant toasted Munich malt; and a very mild, dark toffee finish. A smooth, refreshing, crisp Altbier with impressive malt/hop balance, light esters and a slightly dry finish. Dark copper in color with a thick band of ivory/cream colored foam. SIDE NOTE: "Sticke" means "secret," and the term designates a higher gravity version of Altbier that was once produced just for brewers and pub owners. Darker, sweeter, maltier and more complex than regular Alts, Sticke also boasts enhanced lagering periods and hop intensities (even dry-hopping). Available for consumption at the Düsseldorf pub only on the third Tuesday in January and October, Uerige's Sticke also makes its way to several U.S. export markets year-round. Double Sticke, an extra powerful version from Uerige, continues to gain notoriety as well. Latzenbier, Schumacher Brewery's extra potent Altbier, sells at the pub on the third Thursday of March, September and November. ______________________ That's about all for now.

text: I'm just getting back to the darkroom after a few months of doing digi stuff for jobs. While I wasn't paying attention, the film cameras here have been multiplying to the point it is becoming a distraction from shooting. So now I have the opposite of GAS, I'm obsessed with getting some of this stuff out of here so I can concentrate. It is unbelievable the great gear available for next to nothing now, but I think I have to develop some willpower to resist. The Rolleicords are going on the block (since I've got flexes), but other stuff I just can't figure out what to do with. Latest is a Nikon F80 (N80). It is an amazing piece of gear, but I'm still mostly back in the pre-AI days with Nikon. I'm just curious if others here suffer from reverse GAS. I often think I would make better pictures with a single camera and lens.

Over on eHow's mom channel this week I'm sharing an interesting twist on the classic bean mosaic. Pair this activity with our plantable paper Earths and you'll have yourself a craft-tastic Earth Day.
Here are some other things I've been discussing over on Sulia this week:
- They're about to open a Legoland Hotel (it may be the best day of my 4 year old's life).
- A great activity for encouraging exploration and innovation in the kids.
- Along those same lines – a new STEM pinterest board to follow.
- We returned to the Truck Show for the third year in a row last weekend.
- One of my favorite DIY Decor ideas for spring (so pretty!)
P.S. I was so happy to hear the news today from Boston. Although it certainly doesn't cancel out the terrible tragedy of earlier this week, the photos of the city's united and powerful front against terrorism are awe-inspiring.

Residents putting out cones in a Helston housing area are risking prosecution, one of the town's police officers has warned.
PCSO Jon Bell said it was becoming an increasingly problem in Parc an Dower and asked those leaving the cones to remove them.
He warned that to leave subject objects in the road left a person potentially liable for prosecution for obstructing the highway - not just here but on any street.
PCSO Bell added: "If a person is disabled then apply to the local council for official reserved places, which would be legal."

text: Hi all I'm new to this forum so here goes. I've recently bought a Migatronic 166 Rally Welder it welds a treat with 0.8 wire in it and i'm happy with my purchase apart from 1 issue. When i weld on the highest setting it doesn't seem to take long before the temperature light comes on and the welder shuts down . There is no fan fitted in the welder I assume this is not a factory fit item on this size welder? This may be normal but I doubt it as it does the same on a lower power setting, is there anything obvious I could check initially? Thanks Colin

As we are at the beginning of the Year of the Eucharist, I will concentrate on Eucharistic information websites.
It's always good to begin with the Catechism of the Catholic Church at vatican.va/archive/ ccc_css/archive/catechism/p2s2c1a3. htm#1322.
The encyclical Ecclesiae de Eucharistia (On the Eucharist in Its Relationship to the Church) by Pope John Paul II at vatican.va/edocs/ ENG0821/_INDEX.HTM contains a wealth of reflection-worthy thoughts for this year.
While at work or at home, you can make a virtual and spiritual communion with our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament through your computer. Try our site at monksofadoration.org/chapel. html, at savior.org or St. Martin of Tours Parish at http://louisville-catholic.net/webcams/ webcam_main.shtml.
For those who want to get into the theology of the holy Eucharist, see the Summa Theologica of St. Thomas Aquinas at newadvent. org/summa/4.htm and scroll down to questions 73 through 83.
EWTN has some links in their online library concerning the Eucharist. Start at ewtn.com/ faith/teachings/euchmenu.htm.
There are many good books, videos and talks available online concerning the Eucharist. They are available from our online shop at monksofadoration.org/giftshop.html or from other retail outlets found in our business categor y at monksofadoration.org/ccompany.html. Also see my online Eucharistic links at monksofadoration.org/eucharisc. html.

Provincial selectors have reshaped their team for next week's IBA Inter-Association Championship opener against the NIBA at Whitehead.
Coleraine pair, Mark Maston and Paul O'Neill, have been handed their association debut along with Ballymoney's Martin McAleese and Sean Quinn, from Portglenone.
Dunluce's Alistair Kennedy, named in the reserve panel, is also included for the first time.
Victor Dallas (Coleraine), has earned a recall along with Portrush's Ian McClure, who was on international duty last year.
Ballymoney trio, Brian Smyth, Brian McAlary and Aidan Reid are also back in the squad, but must settle for a place in the 'bench'. There are also some positional alterations with Cookstown's Colin Hogg reverting from skip to third and Ballkymoney's James Martin moving from lead to third.
Following their opener on Friday night against the hosts, the Provincials will face the Bowling League of Ireland at Carrickfergus on Saturday morning before lining out against the Private Greens League at the same venue in the afternoon session.
Provincial team: Rink one: M Mason (Coleraine), J Calvin (Coleraine), J Martin (Ballymoney), I McClure (Portrush).
Rink two: A Tennant (Ballymoney), S Quinn (Portglenone), M Wilson (Cookstown), M McKeeman (Dunluce).
Rink three: B Hughes (Ballmoney), M McAleese (Ballymoney), A Davison (Coleraine), G Kelly (Ballymoney).
Rink four: R Kane (Dunluce), D Smith (Portrush), A Paul (Ballymoney), B Kane (Dunluce).
Rink five: P O'Neill (Coleraine), V Dallas (Coleraine), C Hogg (Cookstown), G McCloy (Portrush).
Reserves: A Kennedy (Dunluce), A Reid (Ballymoney), B Smyth (Ballymoney), B McAlary (Ballymoney).

Excitement builds over President Obama's Syracuse visit
Sat, 17 Aug 2013 03:10:03 GMT —
Henninger High School parents and students are excited and proud to hear the news that President Obama is officially stopping at the school on Thursday.
"Having the president, it could show kids that someone actually does care," said Naja Pitts, a recent Henninger graduate.
President Obama is expected to speak about more affordable college tuition and improving the value of higher education. Both are topics that address concerns of current Henninger students.
"I don't know about everyone else, but I'm really worried about college, and I want to get into college," said rising Henninger sophomore Callyann Millay. "But with the cost, it's going to be extremely difficult. And if he can make it more affordable, that's going to be awesome for everyone else."
"I hope I can afford college," said Olivia Heydens, also a rising Henninger sophomore. "If he makes it more affordable, it definitely makes it easier to get in. I think it'd make it more realistic."
For parents, the visit draws attention to a school in need of attention. Only half of its students graduate in four years, and a quarter of students drop out.
"I think it maybe can draw some attention, maybe open some parents' eyes," said parent and alumna Maisha Brown-Pitts. "I think some people really don't understand how bad it really is. I think it will maybe put that in perspective."
The presidential visit is also expected to cause major traffic problems in Syracuse. "When a president comes to town, it really shuts down traffic," said Syracuse Mayor Stephanie Miner. "And so, if you have errands to run, you should do them Wednesday or Friday, and Thursday, take advantage of the fact that we're going to have a sitting president."
President Obama's visit to Syracuse is the first by a sitting president since 1999.

Artists donate their work for cancer funds
Artists donate their work for cancer funds
About 80 of Scotland's most collectable artists, including Muriel Barclay, Gerard Burns, Marion Drummond, pictured, and Glen Scouller, have donated work to a fundraising exhibition called Art for Care.
Loading article content
The exhibition for Marie Curie Cancer Care will take place from May 11 to 14 at The Lighthouse, Glasgow.
Organisers are aiming to raise £20,000 and if this target is reached, the cash will provide more than 1000 hours of Marie Curie nursing care in the west of Scotland.
Many of the artists have a personal interest in the charity, including Marion Drummond, who recently lost her best friend to cancer.
She said: "We were lucky to receive help from Marie Curie nurses, who were with us when we sorely needed them."

Reflections on French fantasy
Edinburgh College of Art graduate Kristian Smith, pictured, is the latest artist to show in the airy rooms of the French Institute in Edinburgh's Randolph Crescent. Impressionism is a show of photography and collage that is the fruit of the artist's residency in Clermont Ferrand and reflects on fantasy and projection, with particular inspiration from novelist Emile Zola and French pop star Claude Francois, whose Comme d'Habitude became Frank Sinatra's My Way after Paul Anka had added English lyrics.
The exhibition runs until Saturday May 10 and can be visited between 9.30am and 6.30pm Monday to Friday, and 10am to 1pm on Saturdays.

Wanna-Be Greek Salad
(Makes 6-8 servings but can be easily cut in half, recipe created by Kalyn)
8-10 ripe tomatoes (I used half yellow and half red for a pretty look to the salad)
2 -3 cucumbers (I used European cucumbers)
1 can black olives
1/2 cup crumbled Feta cheese (or more)
salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
Dressing Ingredients:
1/2 cup purchased vinaigrette dressing (for South Beach Diet, choose dressing with less than 2 grams of sugar per serving)
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh basil (about 1/2 cup before chopping)
Drain olives into colander and let drain while you proceed chopping other ingredients.
Wash tomatoes, cut away stem end, and then cut into pieces lengthwise. (Cutting the tomato so each piece still has a strip of skin helps them keep their shape in the salad.) Wash cucumbers and cut lengthwise into strips, then cut strips into 1-2 inch pieces.
Combine tomatoes, cucumbers, and olives and gently toss with dressing. (You probably won't need all the dressing. The extra will keep in the fridge for about a week.) Sprinkle salad with Feta cheese, and season with salt and pepper if desired. Serve immediately.
South Beach Suggestions:

For more salads that are or wanna-be Greek Salad, here's something I wrote about Greek Salads for Blogher.

Miami Heat forward Chris Bosh was fined $5,000 on Friday for flopping in Game 4 of the NBA Finals, the league announced.
Bosh was cited for violating the league's anti-flopping policy in the second quarter. San Antonio's Gary Neal drove toward the basket and when Tim Duncan fought for position in the lane, Bosh exaggerated contact and fell to the floor.
Bosh is the eighth player fined for violating the rule.
The Heat won Game 4, 109-93, in San Antonio, to even the series 2-2. Game 5 is Sunday in San Antonio.

BRITAIN has collapsed from 33rd to 65th place on a global league table of women's representation in powerful positions in politics and other areas of public life in less than 15 years, according to a new report.
The fall from 33rd globally in 2001 to 62nd in 2010 and to 65th this year in the annual index comes despite a Scottish Government push, launched six years ago, to ensure 40% of board appointments were female.
The Counting Women In Coalition's Sex And Power 2014: Who Runs Britain? study, which produced the figures, concluded progress in women's representation had stalled or gone backwards - highlighting a 3.5% fall in local government leaders, to 13.1% in the past decade.
Loading article content
The coalition recommended all political parties take steps to increase the number of women candidates at all levels of elected office. It also said the media should ensure coverage of politics includes women and their views.
Report author Nan Sloane, director of the Centre for Women and Democracy, said: "If we really care about who has political power in this country we need to do something about the unrepresentative nature of our elected institutions.
"Along with other excluded groups women have already waited for generations for equal access to power, and we're still being asked to wait decades to achieve it. That's not good enough; we need real change now."
The government's diversity strategy aims to ensure 40% of board appointments are female.
While Holyrood does not have the power to set an enforceable quota for the number of women on public body boards it could seek a Section 30 order allowing powers to be transferred from Westminster. The SNP argues the process could be accelerated under independence by cutting out the need for Westminster approval.
In April, Cabinet Secretary for Equalities Shona Robison launched Women on Board, a consultation on a 40% quota for public boards such as NHS bodies and quangos. Ministers have also asked for views on whether future legislation for a 40% mandatory female membership on public bodies should be extended to the private sector.
Although women make up 52% of the population, only 36% of public board members and just 21% of board chairs in Scotland are women.
Norway was the first country in Europe to intorduce compulsory quotas in 2003, and threatened non-compliant companies with shutdown. Female membership of boards rose to 40% by 2009.
Katie Ghose, chief executive of the Electoral Reform Society, said: "At the tail-end of this Parliament, we are still not much closer to seeing real gender equality in our politics. Despite a headline-grabbing reshuffle earlier this year, the Prime Minister failed to reach his own target of making a third of his ministers female.
"With Britain slipping three places to 65th in the world ranking of parliaments by female representation this year, patience is wearing thin."
Dr Ruth Fox, director of the Hansard Society said: "If the political parties, the government and the media are serious about tackling this then the practical steps we have outlined could still be implemented in the coming months to improve the culture of politics and the general election campaign."

Heidenheim, Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany, 2014/10/14 - With the new InfiltraScrewpress, Voith is launching another product to join its BlueLine range of stock preparation machines, that impresses with its high dewatering performance, improved energy efficiency and low maintenance outlay - Voith.com. FSE: VO2A
As part of Voiths Compact Dispersion System it has been successfully in operation at a number of paper manufacturing sites.
The Compact Dispersion System by Voith is a dispersion system featuring outstanding performance in the reduction of stickies and spot contamination. Further benefits are low energy consumption and space requirements, as well as high system availability. The Compact Dispersion System by Voith includes the InfiltraScrewpress, the InfibraHeater quick heating screw and the InfibraDisp disperser, which has also been newly developed. These machines also belong to the BlueLine product range.
The InfiltraScrewpress boasts a design that is more than ten times stiffer than comparable machines, complementing its low center of gravity. This ensures the machines very tight tolerances over the entire operation cycle, allowing high dewatering performance and minimal fiber loss to be achieved. It is equipped with a double-thread press screw. The fiber suspension is fed into the screw press at a stock consistency of 8 12 % and is then transported by the press screw in axial direction. The suspension is thickened by the constricting volumes between press screw and screen baskets. Excess water is discharged via the screen baskets. The filtrate can thus be pressed out of the suspension and discharged via the screen baskets of the new SplitScreen screen elements. The remaining pulp is conveyed at a stock consistency of around 30% via the outlet of the screw press to the InfibraHeater quick heating screw.
The double-thread design of the screw press provides a continuous stock discharge to the InfibraDisp disperser, resulting in a reduction of the energy consumption in downstream processes. Together with a special protective coating, a further positive effect of the even stock flow is an extended service life and low maintenance outlay.
The SplitScreen screen elements feature improved dewatering performance and markedly greater ease of maintenance. Its special design allows quick replacement of the split screen plates without time-consuming disassembly of the entire screen element. The SplitScreen screen element is used in the new screw press, but can also be installed into existing screw presses as part of a rebuild package.
Voiths BlueLine range for the stock preparation impresses with its low consumption of energy, fibers and water.
Voith Paper is a division of the Voith Group and the leading partner to and pioneer in the paper industry. Through constant innovations, Voith Paper is optimizing the paper manufacturing process, focusing on developing resource-saving products to reduce the use of energy, water, and fibers. Furthermore, Voith Paper offers a broad service portfolio for all sections of the paper manufacturing process.
Voith (voith.com) sets standards in the markets energy, oil & gas, paper, raw materials and transport & automotive. Founded in 1867, Voith employs more than 43,000 people, generates 5.7 billion in sales, operates in about 50 countries around the world and is today one of the biggest family-owned companies in Europe.

Sunshine and blue skies might seem a blessing for the outdoorsman, but we should not be fooled in 2014. Our rivers and lakes are gasping as California enters its second frightfully dry year, and fish populations are sure to take a hit from the drought.
Streams where trout spawn have dried up, and the state's bigger rivers are being lowered as water managers try to conserve reservoir volume. Thousands of nests of salmon that have spawned in the Sacramento and American rivers have been dried out and destroyed, and the Russian River is being similarly dewatered with cutbacks on reservoir releases. Up the coast, the Gualala, the Eel and the Klamath all need water, and many winter Coho and steelhead may not spawn unless the rivers swell.
Greg Andrew, biologist with the Marin Municipal Water District, said some of the Mount Tamalpais reservoirs could take a hit from the drought. Spawning habitat for bass and sunfish in Nicasio and Alpine lakes will deteriorate as the lakes dwindle, he said. Nicasio, for one, has shrunken to a puddle. Bon Tempe and Lagunitas, however, are in better shape. Their waters have not been seriously depleted, and on Wednesday they even received a shot of fish — about a thousand small trout each. The rainbows should be acclimated and ready for business this weekend.
Sturgeon fishing continues to reward those using shrimp baits on anchor in San Pablo Bay, according to Kevin Wolfe, assistant at Loch Lomond Bait Shop, and big tides are coming next weekend.
However, signs of the drought are apparent. The bait shop's salinity gage read 24 parts per thousand on Wednesday — about as high as it gets in San Rafael, Wolfe said, and plainly a reflection of the meager inflow of water from the delta. Most ocean water salinity measures about 35 parts per thousand. (During a wet season several years ago, some anglers reported tasting the water flowing out the Golden Gate and finding that it was as palatable as tap water — completely fresh.)
Herring have been swarming into the bay through January, appearing near Tiburon, at Sausalito and, several days ago, at China Camp. Commercial netters have taken a few tons, birds and sea lions have feasted and recreational beachgoers have even taken some fish using casting nets. Pickling fillets of the herring in brine and vinegar is a popular preparation method.
Wolfe said the China Camp herring spawn is of particular interest.
"We've never seen them spawn that far into the bay before," he said.
Herring lay their eggs in saltwater, and the ocean has crept deep into the estuary in the absence of precipitation. In fact, starry flounder are being reported well into the Napa River — as far upstream as downtown Napa, according to Dave Hurley, writer of the subscriber fishing report HotSheet.
Weather forecasters predict clear skies for weeks.
Out of state
For many years, during periodic trips across the American West, Novato resident Larry Lack looked up at the slopes of Nevada's Ruby Mountains from his car on Highway 80. Even in mid-summer, snow covered the two-mile-high peaks.
"I got to thinking that with all that snow up there, there had to be water and someplace to fish," Lack said.
In 2008, he took the time to leave the highway and approach the Rubies, sniffing for streams. Somewhere east of the range, Lack discovered some of the finest trout fishing in the unlikeliest of places — a small irrigation canal flowing slowly southward.
The clear water, Lack said, is five feet deep and about 30 feet wide and not, perhaps, the most picturesque of concrete-lined waterways.
"But it's packed with 20- to 25-inch brown trout," said Lack, who will be visiting the fabled canal this weekend with two friends, David Weckler and Rick Yoshimoto, both of Marin.
Fishermen know that secrets that get let out can't be put back in their box, so Lack declined to further describe the ditch. I wouldn't have named it, anyway. For one of the most exciting components of fishing is unguided exploration, and while opportunities for seeking out virgin waters are fewer by the season, dream streams still flow, it seems.
They just might not have any water in them this year.

You may have such questions as How Many Grams of Sugar Should I Eat Per Day and How Many Grams of Sugar Should I Eat Each Day,or you may also seek several helpful information about How Many Sugar Grams Per Day Are Normal. Besides,you may be interested in answers related to How Many Grams of Sugar Should I Eat Every Day,too. Read more as following:
Sugar and starches are considered carbs. Although people eat upwards of 300 carbs a day, they should limit their intake to around 130. Controlling your carbs helps you in controlling your weight and reduces the risk of getting diabetes.
My friend is a video game junkie and he never exercises but somehow stays skinny. While in my case, if i eat one McDonalds meal each day for a week, i would gain like 5-6 pounds. Why is this?
I'm just wondering if eating too much sugar each day can bring about diabetes as an adult. None in the family.
Like how many grams would be the maximum for a 13 year old girl?
I don't eat candy but I eat A LOT of fruits, and in just the fruits alone I get like 30-40 grams of sugar each day. I don't eat junk. And they say your suppose to eat fruits so I don't know what to do….
I'm 12, and my mom is diabetic (type 2).
I really don't want diabetes because I love sugar, and I can't not eat it, but I control myself.
How many grams of sugar each day at most? And what percent chance do I have of getting diabetes?
i weigh 106 pounds and im 16 and im 5ft 6, how much sugar should i have each day (max and avg).
and is the sugar in milk actually sugar added or natural sugar?
I am 5′ 6" and i weight 135 pounds so how much calories each day and how many steps if i want to lose 30 pounds in a month.
I am a 22 year old male. I weigh 340 lbs and am 6'5. I am also type 2 diabetic. I need to find out what exchanges i need each day, and what i should be eating. Not only to loose weight. But also to keep my Blood sugar in check. Help?
Simply hypothetical: There's an average of 55 calories and 11g of sugar in an apple. Can eating a ridiculous amount each day cause a person to get fat?
I don't know what to eat each day, or how long. What exercises should I do and what should I do each week. How much should I do each week. What foods should I stay away from and what should I eat the most?
I was just wondering how much fat, sugar, sodium, and protein I can/should eat each day
I'm a very active (aerobic activity and weight lifting) but I constantly struggle with body fat because of my diet. I don't drink much alcohol or caffeine but I do eat sugar. What exactly can I eat each day to loose body fat fast?
I've heard the recommended daily intake for sugar is about 80grams each day for adults. I really love sweet foods and I was wondering what the maximum amount of sugar would be to keep yourself healthy?
I want to lose weight but I'm not sure how many calories I should eat each day. Whether it's too much or too less.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
Adult ADHD
I`m 55 and was told that I had "minimal brain damage" (MBD) as a teenager. They didn`t call it ADHD then, but I had all of the symptoms and they were wrecking my life, although I did learn to work around some of them. I hated the term "minimal brain damage" because I always thought of myself as being at least average IQ; I saw a psychiatrist because I thought I had a sleep disorder and she sent me for a sleep study (showed fragmented sleep, pretty severe daytime sleepiness, some REM onsent but not as severe as onarcolepsy which was the wrking diagnosis since I was also having sleep attacks, bad but not severe. Going on ritalin changed my life; I went from being a disorganized idiot unable to finish anything, doing terrible in school to doing great (almost flunking to mostly B`s). I has more comfortable with a sleep disorder (which was sort of untrue) than being MBD so I just continued ritalin for "excessive daytime sleepiness" for 30+ years..life has been great, marriage, 30 years of a great job, advanced degree and then retired several years ago. My neuro doc had me do a sleep study for apnea (had it) , went on CPAP, lost a ton of weight and took myself off the ritalin. I did this because I needed to buy health insurance and being on ritalin would have been problematic. I hoped that having the apnea fixed would "fix" the problems of ADHD and daytime sleepiness, the daytime sleepiness is gone, but the ADHD is back with a vengence. I now have all of the original symptoms of the ADHD;I feel quilty that I let my neuro treat me for basically narcolepsy for over 20 years the I just told her "I`m o.k. now since the apnea is gone"..all because I needed to buy insurance. Now I have the insurance, I`m retired and would like to restart treatment for the ADHD. My records show treatment for narcolepsy; was it possible that I had both? I`m seeing a new psychiatrist; should I be honest about accepting treatment for narcolepsy when I knew I really had ADHD? Going thru my old records is heartbreaking; prior to starting ritalin, I has almost flunking out of high school. Then with ritalin, I made amazing progress (even got appointed to the US Military Academy at West Point); finished an advanced degree and even did a stint in the military reserves as an aviator (the drug tests were unsophisticated). I`m frustrated that I didn`t admit that I didn`t have the daytime sleep disorder adn should have just accepted the ADHD diagnosis. Should I be honest with the new doc I have a pile of documentation) or just try to restart the ritalin for a disorder that I don`t really have? I`m in great health: why does taking ritalin not make me jittery or hyped up? It makes me feel organized and able to finish tasks. I was on 20mg twice a day for many years and took myself off for months at a time without problems (except for return of ADHD symptoms). Also, when I went off the ritalin, my memory went to heck and I couldn`t finish tasks. Any suggestions? I`m frustrated and feel really, really stupid. I had great providers and was a lousy patient.
This question raises many issues important to those with several disorders.
1. The term "minimal brain damage" was abandoned because in most cases it is not possible to demonstrate any brain damage. For a while "minimal brain dysfunction" (MBD) was used, but the more descriptive non-causal term ADHD or ADD seems preferable without causing the angst this writer went through. However, the MBD does not imply intellectual disability (low IQ).
2. Stimulants such as methylphenidate (Ritalin, Concerta, Metadate, Daytrana) and amphetamine are good for both ADHD and narcolepsy. As long as it helps, it is not critical which diagnosis is made. Daytime sleepiness is not typical of ADHD, but can result from either sleep apnea or narcolepsy. The distinction between the two sleep disorders is critical, because the treatments are different. It is not unusual to have a sleep disorder along with ADHD. Another sleep disorder often linked to ADHD is restless legs syndrome.
3. The correct dose of stimulant should not make a person with ADHD (or narcolepsy) jittery or hyped up. It should just normalize attention, memory, ability to finish things, impulse control, and other executive function. However, it does not work for everyone with ADHD.
4. Forgetfullness is one of the DSM-IV symptoms of ADHD, so that self-observation is not surprising.
5. The excessive amount of guilt expression over things that most people (including the past and current providers) would not worry about suggests the possibility of depression or anxiety (not unusual along with ADHD), for which an evaluation might be useful. All past information should be shared with the current provider so that he or she can make the most informed recommendation for current treatment.
6. Finally, this vignette presents a wonderful example of what a person with ADHD, sleep disorder, or other manageable handicap can accomplish: A useful, productive, successful, and (I hope) satisfying life despite the disorder(s). I hope that you will get involved in the work of inspiring adolescents with a handicap to "be all that they can be," to borrow a military term from your past.

LONDON (May. 6)
Britain's Chief Rabbi. Immanuel Jakobovits, has described the campaign of the Gush Emunim group in Israel for Jewish settlement throughout Biblical Israel as contrary to the highest Jewish tradition and a threat to the Jewish people's attachment to its religion.
Addressing school children on Israel's Independence Day, Jakobovits said: "While I respect the sincerity and high idealism of those dedicated to assert the right of Jews to settle throughout the historic land of Israel, moved by the spirit of chalutziut–so rare in our time–I am bound to question the wisdom and authenticity of this particular campaign."
He said he was concerned "that by associating the Jewish religion with political militancy under the present circumstances, we set contract to every precedent in similar circumstances in our history. It may gravely weaken the attachment of our people to Judaism and will diminish the respect among the nations for our religious teachings." Above all. Jakobovits declared. "I am deeply troubled that the campaign is provocative and harmful to that reconciliation and understanding which ultimately must be the foundation of an enduring peace."

Gemalto to acquire SafeNet, the worldwide leader in data and software protection
(ENP Newswire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) ENP Newswire - 13 August 2014 Release date- 08082014 - Amsterdam - Gemalto (Euronext NL0000400653 - GTO), the world leader in digital security, today announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of the share capital of SafeNet, a worldwide leader in data protection and software monetization, from Vector Capital for US$890 million on a debt free/cash free basis.
Headquartered in Belcamp, Maryland, USA, and presently located in 27 countries, SafeNet is one of the largest dedicated digital information security companies in the world, trusted to protect, control the access to, and manage the world's most sensitive data and high value software applications. As an example, SafeNet technology protects over 80% of world's intra-bank fund transfers and its 1,500+ employees, including 550 cryptographic engineers, serve more than 25,000 customers, both corporations and government agencies, in over 100 countries. Customers utilizing SafeNet solutions include Banamex, Bank of America, Cisco, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, Kaiser Permanente, Netflix, Starbucks and many more of the world's best known companies. In 2013, SafeNet recorded revenues of US$337 million and profit from operations of US$35 million and expects revenues of US$370 million and profit from operations of US$51 million for 2014.
As Gemalto enters into its 2014-2017 multi-year development plan, the digital world enters a period in which proper control over sensitive information is paramount. Nearly 400 million digital data records have been lost or stolen already in 2014, prompting a significant rise in global awareness regarding the effective protection of data. With this acquisition, Gemalto and SafeNet combine the best technologies, expertise and services available for securing a complete infrastructure: network, users, data, software, at the core and at the edge.
SafeNet provides an extensive portfolio of data protection solutions including HSM1 advanced cryptographic key management systems, encryption technologies for civilian applications, authentication servers and authentication as a service, as well as sophisticated software license management and monetization solutions. As an example, HSMs are the essential cloud-based secure elements generating and protecting the fundamental cryptographic keys and processing units used by digital authentication, encryption and signature mechanisms within computer networks and the Internet. All of these will perfectly complement Gemalto's offering of embedded software and portable secure elements, which are used globally at the other end of the network security chain, i.e. in the users' pockets and inside the network-connected terminals.
Once the acquisition is completed, SafeNet will significantly reinforce Gemalto's Identity and Access Management business. It will become part of Gemalto's Payment & Identity segment, and its Platforms & Services activity, that account respectively for EUR1,329 million and EUR715 million of the 2013 pro forma revenue.
The purchase price of US$890 million is self-funded with US$440 million from available cash, and US$450 million drawn from existing long-term credit facilities. Depending on market conditions, Gemalto may refinance the credit facilities through a bond issuance or other means at a later date. The closing of the transaction is expected to occur in Q4 2014, after approval from the relevant regulatory and antitrust authorities. After the acquisition is completed, Gemalto will retain a strong financial structure with a net debt/EBITDA ratio < 1. The transaction will be accretive to adjusted EPS (Earnings Per Share) before purchase price allocation upon completion.
As a result of the acquired business's anticipated profitability, growth and synergies, Gemalto expects to surpass its 2017 profit from operations2 objective of EUR600 million by approximately +10%.
'The opportunity to acquire SafeNet has come at exactly the right time, as we have just entered into our new multi-year development plan and there is a perfect fit between Gemalto's 'security at the edge' and SafeNet's 'security at the core' capabilities. This will enable us to further accelerate the deployment of strong security solutions in the Enterprise sector, and expand our technologies and growth opportunities in protecting online access. Overall, our global leadership in digital security will be reinforced', said Olivier Piou, Gemalto CEO.
'We are very excited for the opportunity to join Gemalto, which is recognized internationally for leadership in the digital security domain. Our products and routes to market are perfectly complementary and our visions for the future naturally intertwined,' said Prakash Panjwani, SafeNet President and Chief Executive Officer. 'The combination of our portfolios will allow customers to have access to world's leading security products for mobile and cloud, delivering best-in-class protection of data and identities. This transaction will accelerate the delivery of Gemalto's security solutions to the Enterprise while also making SafeNet's data protection solutions accessible to the Banking and Telecom sectors - truly a win-win for everyone involved.' 1 Hardware Security Modules 2 Profit from operations is a non-GAAP measure defined as the IFRS operating result adjusted for the amortization and depreciation of intangibles resulting from acquisitions, for share-based compensation charges, and for restructuring and acquisition-related expenses.
About Gemalto Gemalto (Euronext NL0000400653 GTO) is the world leader in digital security with 2013 annual revenues of EUR2.4 billion and more than 12,000 employees operating out of 85 offices and 25 research and software development centers, located in 44 countries.
