Thousands take message to spare schools to Austin
AUSTIN — Thousands of teachers, public school employees, parents and students swarmed the state Capitol grounds Saturday to protest the steep education cuts that Gov. Rick Perry and many Texas lawmakers are pushing to close a budget shortfall.
The rowdy but peaceful gathering, which organizers said numbered at least 11,000, focused on a simple message: Don't abandon children and their future. Don't lay off teachers. Don't increase class sizes. Don't cut music, theater and art classes.
Chau Tran, selected as teacher of the year in 2010 at her elementary school in Austin, told the crowd she learned recently that she might get laid off next year.
"I was stunned and devastated," she told the crowd. "I love teaching. It's my passion. We are not numbers, we are not positions. We are people."
Dalton Sherman, 12, a Dallas elementary school student whose talks about hope and opportunity have earned him a television spot on Oprah, drew frenzied applause.
Perry wants lawmakers to close a $27 billion revenue shortfall — the amount needed to maintain current services, including enrollment growth for public schools — without raising taxes or using the state's $9.4 billion "rainy-day fund."
"It's raining!" Sherman shouted, triggering a loud "It's Raining!" chant from the audience.
Some signs in the audience repeated that theme — "It's raining in my school district" — and some took anger-filled aim at Perry. "Gov. Liar" read one.
"Cutting school funds is a Perry bad idea," Alicia Zon, 12, a sixth-grader from Four Points Middle School in Leander near Austin, yelled repeatedly as she walked along Congress Avenue with a group of her classmates on their way to the rally.
San Antonio's Northside ISD Superintendent John Folks urged the crowd not to allow Perry and lawmakers to balance the state's budget "on the backs of our schoolchildren."
It will be hard to guess the impact of the massive rally and another pro-education demonstration set for Monday, said House Public Education Chairman Rob Eissler, R-The Woodlands.
"We're limited by the parameters of the budget," Eissler said. "This session, it's not going to be more" funding.
Public sentiment for school funding must be balanced against an equally strong opposition to higher taxes, Eissler said.
"It forces you to make choices that you haven't had to before," he said. "I don't see a long-term, upward trend to funding more and more."
The trend will have to shift to making schools more efficient and productive, he said.
"This is not about too much spending," San Antonio Mayor Julián Castro told the crowd. "Texas already ranks near the bottom in per-person spending" and last among states in the percentage of adults with high school diplomas.
He credited a public school education in Edgewood ISD for preparing him and his brother, state Rep. Joaquín Castro, D-San Antonio, for Stanford University and Harvard Law School.
Today's students are reaching for the same American dream, the mayor said, "and the question in this legislative session is, 'Are we going to say yes to their dreams?'"
Texas is home to more Fortune 500 companies than any other state, but it's unclear "how long they will stick around" if it can't produce students to handle new technology, Castro said.
Rally participants said they were energized by their fear that Republican majorities in the state House and Senate are ignoring a financial structure that only can worsen school funding as time goes on — and by a recent Perry remark that seemed to shift blame for looming layoffs away from state government and onto local school districts.
"Millionaire senators: cut my pay to minimum wage and I will still come into the classroom and teach the kids who need me," said a defiant John Kuhn, superintendent of Perrin-Whitt Consolidated Independent School District in Jack County in North Texas. "Bail out the bankers and bankrupt the teachers. We will still teach."
A spokeswoman for the governor, Katherine Cesinger, said the state's overall budget problems require Texas leaders "to separate the wants from needs and cut spending."
"Gov. Perry has listened to the people of Texas who have spoken loud and clear — they want their government to be leaner and more efficient, and we have a responsibility to taxpayers to do just that," she said.
The economic recession has contributed to sagging state revenue, although the problems took root in May 2006 when the Legislature cut school property taxes in response to a Texas Supreme Court order to fix an unconstitutional funding system.
Perry and other state leaders promoted a revised business tax to help pay for the school property tax cuts.
The non-partisan Legislative Budget Board and Carole Keeton Strayhorn, then the state comptroller, predicted the swap would create a revenue shortfall of at least $23 billion over five years. Perry dismissed the warnings, arguing that property tax cuts would ignite economic growth that Strayhorn and the LBB had ignored in their calculations.
This year, John Heleman, chief revenue estimator for Comptroller Susan Combs, told lawmakers a $5 billion-per-year budget shortfall would continue to repeat itself in future years unless they adjusted revenue and expenses.
Most lawmakers were not in the Capitol on Saturday but will be in their offices Monday when teachers plan to use their Spring Break to make their point again.
Most school districts from San Antonio had some representation in the crowd and many carried signs identifying them.
"I'm here because I don't want to end up with a poor education and dumber than my peers who I will be competing with for college and jobs," said Katrina McNairy, 17, a junior at Johnson High School in North East Independent School District.
Ruby Miller, a parent of two kids attending Wood Middle School, helped organize the NEISD group.
"I think when you add the voices of the parents to those working in education, that's going to be hard for Perry and the legislators to not hear us quite loudly that these cuts must not happen," Miller said.

As You Like It
Wildlife traditionally refers to non-domesticated vertebrates, but has come to broadly reference to all wild plants, animals and other organisms . Domesticating wild plant and animal species for human benefit has occurred many times all over the planet, and has a major impact on the environment, both positive and negative. Wildlife can be found in all ecosystems. Deserts, forests, rain forests, plains, grasslands, other areas including the most developed urban sites, all have distinct forms of wildlife. While the term in popular culture usually refers to animals that are untouched by human factors,[1] most scientists agree that wildlife around is affected by human activities. Humans have historically tended to separate civilization from wildlife in a number of ways including the legal, social, and moral sense. Religions have often declared certain animals to be sacred, and in modern times concern for the natural environment has provoked activists to protest the exploitation of wildlife for human benefit or entertainment.
Wildlife conservation is the practice of protecting endangered plant and animal species and their habitats. Among the goals of wildlife conservation are to ensure that nature will be around for future generations to enjoy and to recognize the importance of wildlife and wilderness lands to humans.[1]Many nations have government agencies dedicated to wildlife conservation, which help to implement policies designed to protect wildlife. Numerous independent nonprofit organizations also promote various wildlife conservation causes.[2] Wildlife conservation has become an increasingly important practice due to the negative effects of human activity on wildlife. The science of extinction. An endangered species is defined as a population of a living being that is at the danger of becoming extinct because of several reasons. Either they are few in number or are threatened by the varying environmental or predation parameters. Major threats to wildlife [edit]
•Habitat loss: Fewer natural wildlife habitat areas remain each year. Moreover, the habitat that remains has often been degraded to bear little resemblance to the wild areas which existed in the past. •Climate change: Because many types of plants and animals have specific habitat requirements, climate change could cause disastrous loss of wildlife species. A slight insects are harmed and disturbed. Plants and wildlife are sensitive to moisture change so, they will be harmed by any change in moisture level.[4][5] •Pesticides and toxic chemical: Widely used, making the environment toxic to certain plants, insects, and rodents. •Unregulated Hunting and poaching: Unregulated hunting and poaching causes a major threat to wildlife. Along with this, mismanagement of forest department and forest guards triggers this problem. •Natural phenomena: Floods, earthquakes, volcanoes, lightning, forest fires. •Pollution: Pollutants released into the environment are ingested by a wide variety of organisms. •Over-exploitation of resources: Exploitation of wild populations for food has resulted in population crashes (over-fishing and over-grazing for example) •Perhaps the largest threat is the extreme growing indifference of the public to wildlife, conservation and environmental issues in general.[ NEED FOR WILDLIFE CONSERVATION
Everything thing on the planet is interconnected .All of us know that we are connected to the wildlife through a cycle called food cycle and if one of the member in this cycle is affected the other will also be affected. Human for his benefit had started interfering with the environment which is not correct. Our ancestors also used to hunt animals but they used to take care of one thing whether it is a young animal or an old if it was old then only they used to hunt him. They never hunted a young animal because they knew that would one day lead to the extinction of that animal. We always think...

Benefits of Ketosis.
Weight gain is something that people fight on a daily basis. When you deny your body of carbohydrates which are the major source of energy for people, you will also be depriving your body of its ability to keep glycogen stores filled up. While this occurs, your body should find another source of energy so that your body transitions to a metabolic state called ketosis.

Nissan Qashqai Urban Challenge
As part of its European launch of the new 'urbanproof' crossover QASHQAI, Nissan announces the QASHQAI Urban Challenge - the first ever pan-European free-riding competition of its kind. QASHQAI Urban Challenge is an urban free-riding competition where the world's best mountain bikers will compete in an urban environment to win 200,000 euros - the largest prize fund in this sport to date. Throughout May and June, five European cities will host each leg of the first series bringing together the best of the free-riding world as well as the uninitiated in each city where spectators can see the sport pushed to its limits.
The first series of QASHQAI Urban Challenge, which will be broadcast for the first time internationally, will take place in the UK, Italy, Spain, Germany and France. In each country, contestants will encounter different challenges based on the topography of the city and will use different disciplines to overcome these: Dirt, North Shore, Park, Big Air and Street Trials. All five of the disciplines will be stimulating to watch and relate more to moto-x or trails riding than common perceptions of mountain biking.
Urban free-riding is the most progressive discipline in mountain biking and illustrates the changing trend of focus from open woodland areas into urban city centres. Nissan is the only non-sport related brand pioneering the ascent of urban free-riding and is looking forward to seeing how the riders respond to the challenge.
"The Urban free-rider epitomises the spirit of our new QASHQAI. They both enjoy the thrill of a challenge and overcoming the everyday obstacles encountered in an urban environment. It's this joint pleasure of playing with the city that has led Nissan to challenge these professional riders to prove that they are as 'urbanproof' as our QASHQAI," explains Paul Willcox, vice president of marketing at Nissan Europe.
A fully interactive website www.nissan-QASHQAIchallenge.com will provide feature details of the riders, the locations, the disciplines, event schedule and behind-the-scenes updates as the tour progresses.

Andrew Luck is off the physically unable to perform list.
The Indianapolis Colts officially removed Luck from the PUP list on Saturday afternoon.
The move was expected. Had the Colts not taken the star quarterback off PUP, he would have missed the first six games of the season.
Luck has yet to practice with the Colts as he continues to rehab from offseason shoulder surgery.
When the Pro Bowl quarterback will see his first action of the season remains to be seen. The Colts haven't put a timeline on Luck's return. Owner Jim Irsay intimated this week that Luck might not be ready for Week 1.
On Saturday, the Colts swung a trade for New England backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett, sending former first-round pick Phillip Dorsett to the Patriots. With eight days before the Colts open their season against the Los Angeles Rams, Scott Tolzien could start the season under center, if Luck isn't cleared to play and Brissett isn't up to speed on short notice.
Luck coming off PUP gives Indy a brief sigh of relief, but the situation for the franchise star remains murky.

How to Make Your Kitchen Better?
Today's kitchen is often the heart of the house. Therefore, careful planning is necessary to ensure a beautiful and very functional kitchen. The best thing is just to commit the design of your kitchen in the hands of experts like Cuisines Rosemére. It gives you a better assurance of having a perfect design. However, when you think of going down the road yourself, below are few tips to help you when decorating your kitchen.
#1: Eliminate the wasted steps
Think about where and how you use the items. Keep breakfast meals and breakfast dishes at the breakfast table. Keep the packaging and plastic containers in a suitable place near the worktop to have the leftover properly wrapped up. Place dishware and cutlery in the dishwasher to facilitate the unloading process.
#2: Design wide passages
Walkways along the kitchen should be at least 36 cm wide. The roads within the cooking zone must be 42 inches wide meant for a one cook kitchen and 48 inches wide for a two-cook kitchen. When planning, customize cooking peninsula and islands in the same manner.
#3: Direct traffic
For kid-friendly kitchen models, keep the cover out or the cooktop out of the traffic area so that children do not understand the lever and do not cause spills during the race. In addition, make a refrigerator that is accessible to pedestrians and people working in cleaning and cooking kitchen areas.
#4: Stay away from the corners
To ensure that the kitchen door and the cabinet appliance is fully functional, provide free space and the direction of the door must be in the design of your kitchen. Keep the appliances out of kitchen corners and make sure they do not touch the door if they open at the same time.
#5: Find the correct height for the microwave
The exact height and location of the microwave oven may vary depending on the kitchen kid-friendly character and on the kitchen chef. For grown-ups, 15 inches above the level of the counter is a good microwave height. For children, with a lower countertop configuration can be safer and more convenient.
#6: Determine the island function
When it concerns the kitchen island, the form follows the direction or function. If you plan on cooking and eating on the kitchen islands, leave enough space to separate the cooktop from the dining room.
#7: Plan the landing space
When designing a kitchen, leave 15 inches of countertop on each side of the fridge and cooktops. The landing area is also necessary to be close to the microwave.
#8: Consider the gauges
Chefs who enjoy cooking will always need to have more counter space, ideally between the sinks and range, from those who rarely cook or prepare simple meals. In addition, the installation of two heights at the counter facilitates easier baking and helps children participating in meal preparations.

Discerning truth through God's Word
"The project team is committed to getting the Scriptures into the hands of the people sooner rather than later," says an Akebu project adviser.
An Akebu translation team is already in place, and they are now working to produce 12 New Testament books! Three Gospels and many of Paul's letters were selected in response to the needs of local churches.
These Scripture portions will help believers grow in their faith and also overcome false beliefs — a significant challenge in their community. When the Akebu people have more of God's Word available in their language, believers will be able to learn from it and discern truth for themselves.
Translation efforts are already bearing fruit.
One Akebu pastor says that his heart is overwhelmed with joy because Christians from all denominations are getting together. He thanks God for the unity brought about by the Bible translation.
Your prayers and investment will help the Akebu people access more of God's Word in their heart language!
Funds in excess of the current need will be applied to a similar project or to future needs within the same project.
Get more details about this language project.

Sugar Barge Crashes into Historic Monument during Storm
The weather system also caused three barges to run aground near the Belize City harbor. This morning, the B.S.I. vessel collided near the Baron Bliss Lighthouse and remained there until just before midday when the Swing Bridge was swung to allow for a tugboat to pull the barge away. CEMO Coordinator Phillip Willoughby told News Five more.
Phillip Willoughby, CEMO
"The folks at B.S.I. had three barge run aground right in the harbor here so we will be swinging the bridge momentarily to facilitate a tugboat to assist the barge and bring them where they are grounded from. Also beside that, I know that there were two boats on the Phillip Goldson Highway. I know, again, lots of houses have lost its roof; in many areas, a lot of trees a lot of blocking, but we will correct the pruning of trees. The garbage situation; that will be rectified commencing sometime this afternoon."

Hello, I like your site very much. I am an INTP female and I hate it whenpeople tell me that because i am a female INTP then I should be less then male INTPS. After reading so many articles on my type of temperement, eveyr thing fits exactly my qualifications and m type without any exceptions! My feelngs and social skills come as secondary or thrid and my rational or mind is obsessed all th etime with logic, reasoning and analysing even th esmallest subjects. I am not very good at socialising and because I do not act like the rest of females around, the way we suppoed to act and think, they think we are arrogant and selfish but I jsut tell people the truth all the time adn how things are in real worlds. I do not watch soaps or like to go shopping, take cooking classe but rather take chemistry courses instead! etc.. It becomes some times very painful to some of us as INTP females becuse we are not the way the society wants us to be or act! We suppoed to act in a stupid emotional manner but we are just us and people has to accept us the way we are and we can not pretend all the time!Any ways I jsut had to share my taughts on that and thanks again for letting me leave this comment here.
What and how the intp females supposed ot act or think?They say we are less then intp males and we can be more socializing adn be more emotional but I am telling you, there is no differences between us and you the intp males or other males on the planet! I ahve been single, on my own, always made the best logical decisions in my life on my own without consulting any one and mos tof the time I was right to the point! Why should we be more emotional then men on earth? I always think logical, I always talk about the truth and logical, I always go with my head first before my heart. I am not saying I have no heart but it kills me if I jsu tfollow my heart/emotions sutpidly!And I know we do live in a wild negative emtional society all the time. Most people do judge and make decisions purely up on their emotions and how their moods are on certain time in a certain day!If you want to be successful you have to go with logic. I believe in god and spiritual but you can also serve god much better when you are logical, do nto you think so?God is a pur logical thing after all!Ever thing he did was based on logic!
"God is a pure, logical thing. Everything he did was based on logic."
I think I might need a new screen for my laptop, because I just spat my coffee out all over my current one.
Thanks for the laugh 🙂

The markets finished last week on a high note, after shaking off a weaker-than-anticipated May jobs report. The U.S. added 138,000 new jobs in May, which was far below estimates of about 185,000. But the disappointing news didn't end there, as the number of job gains in April and March were revised lower.
The weak report, however, doesn't make a trend, and the economy has consistently added jobs over the long term. So this won't affect the Federal Reserve's course on interest rates.
In other news, here are some highlights from a handful of companies making big moves or big headlines last week.
When good isn't good enough
Retailers, including fashion brand companies, can't catch a break this year. Even if retailers post results above expectations, which hasn't happened all that often, Wall Street presses the sell button if forward guidance isn't strong. We've seen it time and time again, and Michael Kors (NYSE:CPRI) is a recent example.
While Michael Kors did manage to top analysts' estimates by a meager $10 million, the top line declined by 11.2%, from last year's $1.20 billion down to $1.06 billion during the fourth quarter. One metric that hit investors in the gut was surely the company's comparable sales, which were down 14.1% -- but that figure was offset by 159 new store openings over the past year to push retail sales up 0.5%. On the bottom line, Michael Kors recorded adjusted earnings per share of $0.73, down from the prior year's $1.02 but ahead of analysts' $0.70 estimate.
What sent shares lower wasn't its current performance but its forward guidance. Management now expects to generate between $910 million and $930 million of revenue during the first quarter of fiscal 2018, which was below analysts' estimates of $944.2 million. Sure enough, the company's stock price started to decline as its top line stalled:
On top of that, management still expects high-single-digit declines in comparable sales. This is the unfortunate reality for retailers right now: Even if the quarter meets or beats estimates, the stock will often sell off if the future isn't rosy.
A peaking cycle
Analysts have been warning for about a year that the U.S. new-vehicle sales cycle was plateauing -- albeit at a very high level -- and that trend continued as automakers reported May sales results last week. Light-vehicle sales in the U.S. declined 0.5% during May, even with holiday discounts and incentives, as the industry put the finishing touches on its historically strong spring season.
Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F), in desperate need of some good news after ousting CEO Mark Fields, reported a solid month compared with the industry. Ford's total sales reached 241,126 units last month. That was a 2.2% increase over the prior year, and it was even enough to top General Motors (NYSE:GM), its chief rival, which generally outsells every other automaker in the U.S. market. GM's sales checked in with a 1.3% decline, down to 237,364 units sold during May.
There were some other red flags in the auto industry last week. According to a Wells Fargo report, fewer subprime borrowers are paying off their automotive loans early, suggesting that consumers with weaker credit scores might be struggling to keep up with payments. Part of the matter is rising average transaction prices in the U.S. over the past couple of years -- which brings us to another red flag.
To help offset rising new-vehicle prices, many consumers have opted to extend the length of automotive loans. According to Experian, during the first quarter of 2009 the number of new-vehicle loans 73 to 84 months long was only 11.7%. Through February 2017, that percentage jumped to 33.8%. These longer loans pose somewhat of a threat to the automotive industry, as they could extend the purchase cycle: Perhaps a consumer now waits an extra year to purchase a vehicle because of being underwater on the loan for a longer period. There's also more default risk if the consumer is stretched too far on the new vehicle purchase.
We'll have to see how it all plays out, but one thing is clear: The automotive industry isn't going to get any easier for major automakers over the near term.

THE Washington Theater Redevelopment Commission is attempting to jump-start its two-decades-old effort to transform the historic building in downtown Quincy into a performing arts and entertainment venue.
The commission announced last week it will sponsor two musical events -- one next month and the second in April -- in hopes of raising $100,000 to pay for an updated architectural plan that will outline how much money ultimately will be needed to complete renovations to the 94-year-old theater.
Clearly, the cost of rehabilitation is critical in determining whether the once ornate theater that was such a vital part of Quincy's past could yet play an important role in the city's future as an entertainment venue that could anchor the Arts Corridor and spur further downtown development.
The commission has been down this road before.
A 2006 market analysis and feasibility study by a Toronto consulting firm indicated that the Washington Theater had a viable potential for development as an entertainment complex and community center.
Consultant Janis Barlow said the theater would fill a niche by providing a space for events seating between 750 and 1,000 people. She also said surveys showed there would be sufficient interest to use the theater for cultural presentations, film exhibitions and rental uses.
At that time, renovation costs were estimated to be between $5 million and $8 million.
Two years later, a Texas architectural firm recommended the renovation project be expanded by acquiring another building immediately to the west of the theater at 431-435 Hampshire. That idea, ultimately rejected, would have added $2.7 million to the cost of restoring the original theater to pristine condition.
However, the economic downturn in 2009 put the clamps on revenue and spending across the nation, and donations to charitable causes declined sharply. That stalled commission efforts to raise multiple millions of dollars to help launch renovations.
Now, the commission hopes a new architectural plan will help set the stage for a communitywide fund drive that could begin as early as next year.
Washington Theater opened June 19, 1924. After years of hosting live performances by entertainers and musical acts, the theater was transformed into a movie house. It closed in September 1982. Several attempts at other uses for the building were unsuccessful, and the building fell into disrepair.
The city approved $100,000 in bonds for the theater in November 1999 and spent $107,000 to buy the building from Sun West Corp. in 2000 after the city had sold the building to Sun West for $1 in 1987. Sun West made repairs and operated businesses out of the building.
The city received a $223,537 federal grant and $500,000 in Illinois FIRST money in 2003 to help finance some of the initial redevelopment costs, including roof repairs, tuckpointing, and renovating the theater's entry and marquee.
Three electronic digital message boards were installed on the front and both sides of the marquee in 2009 at a cost of $243,000, money secured through grants. The work also included cleaning and stabilizing the terra cotta and brick and doing some touch-up painting.
Now as then, it would be far better to restore the theater as a viable entertainment venue if the community financially supports such a plan.
In that capacity the theater would advance the district's role as an arts and entertainment corridor, as outlined in the 1996 downtown redevelopment plan drafted by Teska and Associates and reinforced by the city's latest strategic plan.
Furthermore, an active theater venue would help support other downtown commercial and residential developments and would foster additional interest in the area.
Raising the money necessary to commission a new architectural study is the next step in determining the future of Washington Theater.
Only after the costs are known can the community make an informed decision about whether to tackle renovations.

A new indie spinning studio is making combo classes work
Pedal NYC is the first indie spin-focused studio to open in New York City in a long time. Given the mega-influence of SoulCycle and Flywheel on the city's indoor cycling scene (with their combined seven NYC locations), it's not surprising.
But Pedal's founders, an Upper West Side personal trainer-and-business woman couple, felt confident they had something to add to the city's fitness roster: Namely, kick-butt hour-long combo classes that pair spinning with strength training—a concept that, for reasons unknown, never caught on in New York.
(SoulCycle dabbled with the idea in the beginning, before nixing it, and Flywheel launched Flybarre as a totally separate offering.)
Since Pedal NYC opened in January, with its signature 60-minute spin class and more, the 30/30 combo class (30 minutes of spinning, 30 minutes of strength training using TRX equipment), has drawn just as much excitement.
It's routinely sold out (there are five per week), and enthusiasm in the class, and boot camp-style camaraderie, are palpable.
"It keeps people captivated and interested, and it's short-and-sweet," says Pedal NYC's co-owner and the class creator, Ray Wallace (who goes by "Mr. Ray"). "You also see better results, and there's a higher complete caloric burn."
It makes sense: TRX training and push-ups build more muscle than lifting two-pound weights or a bar while cycling. (Plus, many trainers, Wallace included, question the safety of on-bike strength training.)
That said, there's an expertise needed for 30/30 that's harder to replicate than spin alone—it requires someone who can give expert TRX and strength-training cues, plus energize a spin class, and make big transitions seamless. And the method does require some real estate.
Wallace pulls all this off well, pushing spinners to go faster by checking their bike numbers, then effortlessly leading them to the TRX room or to an outdoor courtyard for the second half of class. (Yes, Pedal has permanent outdoor workout space.)
In the next few months, Wallace will introduce an even tougher combo: 30/30/30, that will section off spin, TRX, and outdoor conditioning for a workout he calls "Full Throttle."
He hasn't decided how frequently the new class will be offered, but if the call for these keeps growing, this indie studio might not be the only one dialing up the RPMs on combo classes. —Lisa Elaine Held

Focusing on a Home-Grown Solution for Cloud ComputingFeb 25, 2011
Cloud Computing is a hot topic in the technology services world these days. Yoo Young Soo, Director of the R&D Center for Internet and Wireless technology company FLK explained, "Cloud computing in the future will see the issues of the "anywhere" screen (N-screen) and Web 3.0. To meet this emerging need, FLK has been developing portals, transport infrastructures and application solutions for a variety of technologies in the wireless and Internet-based infrastructure." "FLK focuses on technology that gives value to users by combining multiple devices, such as multiple screens. We will be announcing solutions for IPTV and specialized Smartphone services in the near future". FLK is a leading global wireless internet solution company that manages carrier's wireless data access systems and messaging systems. Primarily performing B2B business, FLK was also involved in Kyobo E-book business and mobile hub system that intermediately distributes Short Messaging Services (SMS). FLK also previously developed the SKT Multimedia Service "June" and "mPlayon" for feature phones. As for B2C services, FLK developed the "mToast" service that enables users to create Multimedia Messages (MMS) easily from a web page. In recent years, the company extended its business area into a variety of fields such as U-City, smart grid and building energy systems. The company has been involved with the burgeoning field of cloud-computing since 2009. FLK, listed on KOSDAQ (Korea Securities Dealers Automated Quotation), is well-known in the cloud-computing business. The company expanded business into clould-computing area based on its wireless internet infrastructure. In 2009, FLK was responsible for building a cloud-computing-based wireless internet platform for SKT through a cooperative project with IBM. Last year, FLK was involved in the 'Cloud Service Testbed Project' sponsored by the Korea Communications Commission and the Korea Association of cloud services. Yoo said "The FLK R&D Center currently researches and develops the core technologies for augmented reality and multimedia. The addition of cloud-computing to the mix should produce some very interesting and exciting products and services. Specifically, FLK plans to focus more on two cloud-computing related services this year." "One builds a cloud-computing platform on Open Storage System (OSS) in cooperation with Korea Telecom (KT). The other is related to mobile clouding computing." Yoo continued, "Currently we are developing N-screen-based technology for use across multiple devices, such as TV, smart phone, and tablet PC as well as planning new services in conjunction with this technology." For example, a Smart TV that installed only a browser has to absorb content spread on the internet to evolve. So, the investment on devices and platform should be preceded to accomplish. FLK has developed a streaming game platform to facilitate transferring movies or PC games from Virtual Desktop (VDI) environment into other types of devices, like a big-screen TV. Cloud-computing enables the set-top box to be a seamless multimedia service provider for low-end devices. "We are ready for the public cloud to evolve and then a lot of interesting business areas will open up for FLK. We will target our new services to the overseas market," Yoo said.

City PDAM along with two partners namely Palyja and Aetra ensures that clean water supply at 51 points of venues is fulfilled.
" Besides ensuring the supply, it is also done on the quantity, quality and continuity of the water,"
Barce Simarmata, Director of City PDAM Technical disclosed that 16 out of 51 venues are PAM customers, 27 venues are indirect customers who are served through the master meter to area managers such as Ancol and BLU Setneg for Gelora Bung Karno (GBK) and PPK Kemayoran/Athletes' Homestead, and 8 venues are not PAM customers (groundwater users).
"Besides ensuring the supply, it is also done on the quantity, quality and continuity of the water," he expressed, Tuesday (8/14).
He explained that this commitment is proven by the increase in services such as relocation and rehabilitation of master meters in the GBK area. It is to increase the water supply to the area from 10 liters/second to 50 liters/second. His side also increased the pressure from 0.3-0.7 atm.
His side also increased the utilization of raw water in the west flood canal (KBB) through the moving bed bioreactor (MBBR) technology that uses microbes to reduce ammonia contained in raw water to improve the quality for further processing.
"Water supply is optimized by setting the allocation and pressure of water from the Pejompongan 1 water treatment plant to Senayan area by paying attention to the surrounding areas thus the water needs are met," he explaine d.
The PDAM, Palyja and Aetra have also built a booster pump (press pump), and Sunter reservoir that is located in opposite of BMW Park, Jalan Sunter Permai Raya, North Jakarta that serves to increase the continuity of water supply and pressure for Kemayoran area, Ancol, Martadinata, Gunung Sahari, and Pademangan.
Booster Pump has pumping capacity of 800 liters/second and 2,500 cubic meters of reservoir capacity. He also accelerated the construction of control room facilities in the IPA Buaran AETRA.
"This control room serves as monitoring, analyzing and controlling the production process operations from raw water becomes clean water, as well as the distribution process to customers by online," he stated.

Oi Blokes! Your Local Chemist is Great For Girl Gifts
Men are unfortunately, in general, quite bad at buying gifts from their female counterparts; be it for your mother on Mother's Day, your Gran on her birthday, your sister at her graduation or for your girlfriend this Christmas. There will often in these situations be a period of tumultuous head scratching, a number of dashes through a flower shop or a linger around the chocolate isle in the supermarket before settling on a trinket grabbed at the last minute from your local petrol station.
Stop right there! There is another…
Chemists are the perfect place to go for any and all your girly gift getting situations. They aren't just full of feminine hygiene products and hair scrunches, but have a vast array of perfect gift ideas chosen by a multitude of marketing experts to make sure you can pretty much walk in with your eyes closed and come away with something she will like. Let's see some examples:
Gift Sets
By far the easiest choice of gift, these pre-packed, pre-selected gift bombs deliver a cute collection of gifts in a handy wash bag or makeup purse packaging. All you need to do is pick the green one, the blue one or let's face it, probably the pink one. In the pack will be stuff like a shower puff, some face cream and some hand cream: all things which she will love to death, as they are designed by girls for girls. Price guess would be around £10.
Perfume makes an excellent gift but can be very tough to get right and is often quite pricey – and you thought aftershave was expensive! The easy way to do it is to find out what she is using now and get the same. Or if you can wangle it, accidentally on purpose end up in the perfume section at some point and you might as if by magic hear what she likes.
Make Up
Make Up is by far and away the hardest gift to buy for a girl. There are many factors you need to know before you dive in wallet first. First of all, only buy quality make up from a respected manufacturer such as Elizabeth Arden cosmetics. If you get her the wrong shade of eye shadow or the wrong brand of lip gloss you may as well have bought her a sack of charcoal with which to do her make-up. What to do is, next time you have the bathroom to yourself, check out her make-up collection, girls can be as set in their ways as much some men sometimes, so if you take a note of her brand and the type of colours she likes you will be off to a good start and you will be pretty sure she will be happy with what you get. Good luck guys! Final tip, keep the receipt; she may well love shopping for a replacement as much as getting the right gift.

A slow start, followed by a Josh Murphy masterclass and Tom Trybull becoming the first ever Germn to score for City. It was an eventful evening at the Carra. Here's Duncan Edwards to tell us all about it.
Random star performer
A few candidates. Tom Trybull scored a great goal and impressed in his brief cameo, Stiepermann was much more involved tonight, Tettey was, well, like Tettey and there is a massive temptation to give it to Russell Martin. Not just because it would cause some spontaneous combustion in various parts of Norfolk but because he was SO much more comfortable in the centre back berth that he has long professed to be his best position. Still, I'm sure plenty will feel that his performance was enhanced not by a change of position but by playing third tier opposition....But....
I'm going to go for Marley Watkins. He's already taken a few pelters following the Sunderland game but he put in a really determined and promising performance that was built upon hard work and willingness. As we face up to the possibility of no NO, it was good to see Marley making decent runs, offering an option in the channels and showing a real desire to get into the box and support his team mates with a series of lung busting sprints. I was delighted that he got his goal, it was thoroughly deserved and his apparent versatility may be invaluable in the coming weeks.
Moment of the match
We played some really attractive and intricate stuff going forward, with Wes, Madders, Naisy and Murphy in the side that was no more than to be expected. Wes was mesmeric at times and I just wish we could have him for another 10 years but the moment of the match for me was going the other way.
City had been a bit slapdash in possession at times, on this occasion Charlton picked up the ball and started a counter down their right. What looked a promising opportunity for them was thwarted by a flying Josh Murphy who put in a beautifully timed sliding tackle deep in his own half and then carried the ball forward. I'm sure there was a bit of concern regarding Josh with his twin gone but it seems to have motivated him. It's not so long ago that Josh would have been regarded as being "ahead" of Jacob; on recent showings that could well be the case again soon.
Biggest positive
There were a few that I could touch on. It was great to have Pinto back in the side, it was reassuring to see promising games from Watkins, Stiepermann and Trybull and let's face it, winning is so much more fun.
However, the thing that buoyed me most was the character, determination and spirit of the team. After a humbling in Birmingham (a Brumbling???) at the weekend, when we went behind tonight (excellent strike by Novak by the way) I had visions of a bit of panic setting in. It was a case of "same old" as we lost the ball cheaply, saw our defenders struggle for pace when turned around and then saw a flailing McGovern grasping at air as the ball nestled in our net. It really was a good finish but it was slack from us yet again.
We didn't dwell on it though and while we rode our luck a couple of times we stuck to the plan and ran out comfortable winners. You sense that the players genuinely believe in what the coach is asking them to do. Long may it last and continue to develop.
Weekly moan
The kid that sat behind me kicking the back of my seat for a solid 90....no, that aside it has to be how we always seem to give teams a glimmer.
Some of our defending is so charitable that it should come with a tick-box for gift aid and we continue to display just enough brittleness at the back that teams must always think they're in with a chance whatever the score. As comfortable as we were tonight we still managed to present Charlton with a couple of chances that only they know how they squandered. On another day they'd have been snaffled and there'd have been a few twitchy bottoms around the Carra had it gone 4-3.
Atmosphere rating
12,500, a decent figure I suspect. Loads of kids (including 10 in my party alone), closed upper tiers and a snake pit so devoid of snakes I wondered if St Patrick was at the game all led to a fairly subdued affair. That said, the Barclay boys tried hard but there was little coming back their way and the truth is it was exactly what we've come to expect from this tournament.
It's not necessarily a bad thing though as games like these facilitate the next generation being eased into the life of pain, misery and occasional joy that becomes your lot once infected sufficiently with the Canary bug.
Referee watch
Not a lot contentious happened really. He seemed happy enough to let a bit go, Stiepermann benefited on a couple of occasions and Wes was sent airborne by a particularly strong tackle that may have been interpreted differently by another official (looked just like a proper "old school" cruncher to me). So yeah, well done ref. Whoever you were.
There's still plenty to work on but all in all it was perfectly satisfactory and relatively comfortable.
The team selection seemed to emphasise that we are short up top and a conspiracy theorist might suggest that this was a deliberate ploy to "send a message". I don't buy into that at all, Webber will be acutely aware that we're thin in certain areas and Marley Watkins demonstrated that he can be relied on to do a job even if we wouldn't want to rely on him for a prolonged period.
James Husband got a break and taking him out of the spotlight may well help him long term while Steven Naismith managed a half-Brucey with a "bad game, good game" display. He infuriates people and his reluctance to shoot tonight had some of the folks around me almost spluttering up their picnic (yes really) in incandescence. He was much better in the second half and was on occasion furthest forward and others last man; he is a genuine team player.
Ultimately though, just as was the case at Villa, it was all about Murphy and Wes. Josh is in splendid form and while he still makes the wrong decisions at times, he must be horrible to play against. He seems to have strengthened up, is still rapid and retains the technique of a player brimful of potential. His first goal was a super strike that displayed that technique beautifully, smashing the falling ball on the volley into the far corner. It's looking like he could be really important to us this season.
Josh still has some way to go before he's as important as a certain Mr Hoolahan though. Mercurial, masterful, mesmeric and mystifying, so much of what we do well stems from his unrivalled ability. Yes, he should stand out as an international player against third tier opposition but he continues to surprise me with something different and new all the time. He'll never be everybody's favourite with his tight turning circle and supposed lack of a right foot but he is mine and I urge everyone to enjoy him while we can. We'll miss him when he's gone.
So, for now the Farkelution's wheels seem to be back on. They'll get another almighty test at the weekend though and we'll need to see plenty more of the spirit, resilience and desire that we saw tonight if we're to win at the Den.
Once again we have a foundation to build on and as far as tonight goes, I'll take that.
To keep AlongComeNorwich advert free and to help us fund additional initiatives aimed at improving the Carrow Road atmosphere, we occasionally produce exclusive t-shirts.
To celebrate the latest Barclay classic chant, Farkelife we've done another one. As always, we take no profit from these and put all the profits back into the site and things we can all enjoy.
There are no comments on this article yet.
Barclay End Norwich founder member Thomas Markham-Uden was also at Villa Park. You can tell he enjoyed it nearly as much as Duncan.
Topsy-turvy starts all round, leave City's trip to Millwall intriguingly poised. Like Villa before them, the Lions head into the game seeking their first league win of the season. Uh oh. Andrew Lawn spoke to Millwall fan Ed Castle to see how worried we should be.

Sibling Rivalry (G-uno)
Posted by idioglossiablog in missle-anal-us on September 26, 2015
What is it about being siblings that can turn even middle-aged reasonable adults into screaming, fighting, competitive children? I can think of a few things, but in today's post the winning answer is a parent's will. I will further add the parental decision to make one child the executor of their estate. If you really want to mess with your children's heads then you should by all means pick one of them to handle your affairs. That way the other child, or children as the case may be can immediately revert to their childhood deep-seated insecurities reliving the indignant horrors of how you were never regarded in the same favoring light that your sibling seemed to live within.
Since my friend fell off her newly installed stripper pole she has been unable to drive, so yesterday she asked me to not only drive her to her sister's home, but to remain there as moral support. Her husband is out-of-town, and each of her siblings would be there with their spouses. Now I'm a realistic kind of gal so my head is screaming bad idea, but my mouth was saying okay. She has had a tough couple of months which included the death of her mother. Plus her sister can be quite the little drama queen even on one of her better days so we knew today she would be in exceptionally rare form since my friend's mother had named my friend as the executor of her estate.
My friend is the 3rd child (the baby), her sister is the oldest, and their brother is the middle child. The oldest sister is the financially well off, and quite use to running the show. The brother is a gruff retired military man who I don't think I have ever seen without a drink in hand, except for mom's funeral. My friend is a published writer, quite the little spit fire most of time, but lately her spark has been a bit subdued. A formidable bunch to be sure, and their mother was a complete down home girl who grew up on the family farm. I happened to adore her, but to be fair she wasn't my mother.
Back in the day mom was quite the party gal who had married an alcoholic, and their relationship dominated the family spotlight. I think all of the kids felt like extras on the set, rather than the cherished little stars of their family show. So each child naturally comes with all the insecurities of being raised in a home where mom, and dad's marital issues/drinking took center stage on a daily basis.
So when we walked into the house both big sister, and brother were quite pissed over the baby being placed in charge. The accusations started to fly the moment we sat down. I watched as my friend calmly as she sat looking everyone over. She sat there quietly as the two older siblings ranted over every detail of their mother's carefully thought out will. Keep in mind all three children had financially supported their mother equally in her last decades of life. She did not possess a large estate, even her home had been equally owned, and paid for by her three children. So the points of contention were over her personal possessions, things that had been passed down generation after generation.
They were fighting over things that were a familiar part of their erratic childhood. It was almost as if each item held some piece of their own self-identity. A kind of symbol of their personal value in their mother's existence. They accused my friend of manipulating their mother into giving her items that they said their mother wanted them to have. My friend sat there silently as they raved, and ranted. Then she cleared her throat stood up, looked both siblings in the face, and said take it all. Divide it up however you want, I really don't care." Then she asked me to hand her two carefully wrapped packages. One for each of her siblings. She had me place one in front of each of them, and then we left.
As I drove her home she barely said two words. Then she turned, and smiled at me. I finally had to ask her what was in the two beautifully wrapped packages she had given each of her siblings. She had given them each a framed copy of their mother's hand written will with a small note in it with her hand written words that said " Take it all, with all my love. Mom's favorite." 😉
The Worst Thing My Husband Ever Said To Me (G-uno)
Posted by idioglossiablog in relationships on September 15, 2015
Marriage can be difficult even in it's best moments. We are capable of incredible damage with just one slip of the tongue. The moment when your otherwise harmless organ turns into a razor-sharp blade with the ability to make a cut so deep that even the most skilled plastic surgeon would be unable to hide the scar left behind. I remember the moment when four little words brought me to my knees. Simple words, that suddenly had the power to emotionally cut me in half. "You don't like me."
It was, and to this very day is the worst thing my husband has ever said to me! What made it so horribly painful was the fact that he actually believed what he had said. The man who had been my best friend through every single event in my life for over thirty years was standing before me believing that I no longer liked him.
I know what your thinking. Oh big damn deal some of you have heard name calling, fuck yous, I hate you, I cheated on you, and a lot of other horrible things that on the surface seem like much worse things to say. I get all of that, but the very idea that I had somehow given my husband even the slightest notion that I didn't like him was deeply painful to me. It had never even crossed my mind that this thought would be something anyone could convince him of, under any circumstance, least of all me.
Somewhere along the way something I had said, or done had cut him so deeply that he harbored this thought. My mind was spinning. How could he believe something so awful? Why didn't he say something until that moment? God, how long has he been thinking this way? Most importantly how could I have not picked up on something so big between us? In my mind I guess I felt exempt from this kind of miscommunication between us. It was a huge wake up call. A reminder that I had been complacent. That I had taken him for granted,assuming that I knew how he felt, and that he knew how I felt.
Relationships are not self-sustaining states of being. They are ever-changing, living organisms that require you to be present. They need attention, and maintenance to survive. If we are really smart about our relationships we will do way better than just trying to survive. We will put in the wiser goal of thriving. 😉
The Alzheimer's Whisperer (G-uno)
Posted by idioglossiablog in missle-anal-us on September 14, 2015
We are all born with certain talents, unique gifts that not only enhance our own personal journeys, but impact other souls as they travel along their's. I have been nicknamed "The Alzheimer's Whisperer." I'm not exactly sure how this talent came into existence, but I am sure that the Universe has decided that it should be a part of my journey. My talent extends equally to babies/ children, and a wide range of people who might be categorized as uniquely misunderstood, but for this post we will stay focused with those souls who have Alzheimer's.
Although I have always loved the very old, and the very young, my work interests have always leaned towards the medical field. I have worked with one of this countries finest retinal surgeons. The problem with this line of work is that you have to work with doctors. Don't get me wrong I have the utmost respect for doctors, but working with them presents a number of issues that simply held very little satisfaction for my inner self. I made a much better salary, but it left my inner self destitute.
I have a love/hate relationship with this side of myself. I have the ability to live a much more lucrative lifestyle, but I'm only happy when I am doing what I love best. I have chosen to follow my heart over my bank account. Luckily I have married a man who seems to find this completely lovable. So I am a self-employed personal assistant who finds herself being hired over, and over again by a particular type of client (those with a very demanding employment), who seem to be in need of someone with my ability to organize while dealing with the more difficult loved ones in their lives.
G-uno to my fellow bloggers, but "The Alzheimer's Whisperer" to many of my clients. Alzheimer's is a brutal disease that forces people to lose their loved one's twice in one life time. My gift is my ability to understand them once they have reached the point of being unable to convey their wishes for themselves. My gift to my clients is my ability to get their loved ones to cooperate in ways that lesson the enormous stress their inabilities place on their loved ones both physically but more importantly emotionally.
I can not explain to you how I understand my client's wishes/needs, but I can tell you that within a half hour I am able to bring them great relief. I am also able to get them to do tasks they have been unable to do for years, or months prior to our meeting. I have a front row seat to being able to bring joy, and relief to both my clients, and those who are suffering. I am lucky because I wake up every day to the possibility of being able to bring great joy, and comfort to those who whisper in a way that only some can hear. 😉
The Thing About Daughters… (G-uno)
Posted by idioglossiablog in missle-anal-us on September 11, 2015
She was the first in every way, from the moment they laid her warm 8 pound 6 ounce body onto my chest. Heart to heart, my world would never be the same. She didn't even cry. She held up her little head looking around the room as if she were surveying it's worth. The doctor, and everyone else in the room shared the same look of awe at her incredible strength. I am to this day amazed that she only scored a 9 instead of a 10 on her APGAR rating, because she did not enter the world screaming like a banshee. If I think about it, she entered the world pretty much the same way she enters a room now. She silently walks in with her head held high, and her beautiful chocolate-colored eyes surveying everything around her.
She is petite in stature, but large in her presence. Her "Helen of Troy" beauty lures you in, but her total command of the room makes you want to stay. She's engaging, smart, direct, and her sense of humor is fueled by her unyielding desire to see your ability to withstand her way of magnifying your most hidden human characteristics. She can be extremely driven, and has very little tolerance for those who disregard her need for personal space, for uncleanliness, and disorder. She has zero tolerance for disloyalty, and I think this stems from the fact that she is quite possibly one of the most loyal people on the planet.
She sees the world from a more grown up point of view than I do. Even though she is to grown now to lay across my heart she is forever entwined in it's every beat. We can talk for hours about everything, and nothing at all. I can count on her to tell me the truth when none else can. She sees me in a way that no one else can see me. Her very existence makes my life better. That's the thing about daughters… 😉
