Apple Macs hit by ransomware 'for first time'
A type of malware that locks computer files and demands a fee for their release has successfully targeted Apple computers.
The security researchers from Palo Alto Networks believe it is the first time ransomware has appeared on Macs.
The KeRangers malware was hidden in a version of a BitTorrent client called Transmission.
The makers of Transmission and Apple say they have taken steps to stop the malware spreading.
It is not clear how many people were affected.
Transmission is a program that lets people download and share BitTorrent files - often music or movies - with other users' computers.
After being informed of the malware, Apple revoked the developers' certificate on the infected software to prevent it from being installed if people downloaded it.
Transmission's developers released a new version of their software and added a notice on their website, urging customers to upgrade immediately.
'likely outcome'
Apple's Mac operating system - Mac OS X - has traditionally been considered to be a secure system because it is more locked down than the myriad of devices running Windows operating systems.
While writing malware code for Macs is more difficult because there is less of it around, as the computers become more commonly used criminals are working harder to target them, Greg Day, Palo Alto Networks' chief security officer for Europe, the Middle East and Africa told the BBC.
"In all honesty unfortunately this is a likely outcome," he said of his team's discovery.
"There is a simple reality which is criminals will follow us as users of IT to generate ransom.
"We've seen more Mac threats in the last few years - it's a very good reminder that there is no environment which is risk free from cyber attack."

This statement was made by Akinyi, the mother who lives with her 7-year-old son on the compound with me and looks after the area. We were sitting in the kitchen, her in front of the wood-burning cooking stove stirring milk tea, me sitting on the floor that had been smeared with cow dung and clay a few days prior. We sit most days and talk, becoming more frank as our comfort with each other increases. This statement, however, took me by surprise. She explained her reasoning for saying this: in Kenya, ARVs are relatively easy to get, as NGOs and rich Western countries have flooded clinics and hospitals with either free, or very inexpensive forms. But as HIV becomes less of a death threat, and more of a chronic illness, other diseases are starting to be identified as life-threatening… cancer is among them. I saw an article a few weeks back in one of the Kenyan national newspapers about breast cancer's large impact in Kenya. But I didn't think much of it, as cancer is a problem most everywhere. But as Akinyi continued to tell me, there isn't much equipment or drug supply to treat cancer, making it inaccessible to the vast majority of Kenyans, rich or poor. In Kenya, if you have cancer, you go back to your house and lay and rest until you pass… cancer literally means death. I think back over the weeks I've been here, and realize I've been seeing it, assuming people were getting treatment… most recently, a man with a hugely distended, perfectly spherical stomach, coming out of the general hospital. The longer I live here, and the more I see, I believe more strongly that health care isn't simply a universal human right, it is a privilege, and one that many don't have. Universally, human bodies falter, fail and are in need of repair to continue life… and this care isn't available. How do we lower the cost of health care universally? I read an article recently in the New England Journal of Medicine discussing the cost versus need of HPV vaccination in developing countries… in the US, this cost is around $360, far above what most families in rural Kenya earn in 3 months. And yet, cervical cancer is the second most deadly cancer for women, regardless of country or region.
There are far more health issues in Kenya than cancer and HIV, and it seems that despite the effort put in so far, there is so much still that is totally wrong… structurally, we are flawed. And I feel incredible guilt in having the ability of having access to such a higher level of health care in a mere 26 hours of flying time. It is very different growing up hearing that life isn't fair, and actually seeing how unfair it is… perhaps this is naivety why should one life have that much more opportunity than another?

Love is like an addiction,
Phrasing it so makes it sound wicked
But it is not so, it is not the same…
This addictions not mine to blame.
I was not the one to open my heart
I would have known it wasn't so smart.
There's very few people anyones able to trust,
Seeing as most people are into just lust.
Now with love to blame,
I'm stuck in an endless cycle with something impossible to tame.
Love to blame
Love is like an addiction,

Yes, Sony Released Another 3 Minutes of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2
If you feel like you've already seen about 15-20 minutes of The Amazing Spider-Man 2, with the addition of another three-minute trailer below, you're probably not far off. The video, titled "Rise of Electro" starts off with a 20-second uninterrupted clip of the film, followed by a short mix of scenes/quotes you've mostly seen already. Then there's the next minute and a half, with longer, better looks at Electro, Green Goblin, and Rhino, presumably half of the oncoming Sinister Six. Take a look below, and go to the theater May 2, 2014 to see the other half of the movie.

This is a high profile bi-annual event aimed at installing new fellows of the Advertising Profession. It also recognizes notable individuals both public and private, who have contributed immensely to the growth and development of Marketing Communications in Nigeria.
The event generates positive publicity for the Council and provides an opportunity to get to know and meet new people as well as renew old acquaintances in the Industry.
The public forum brings together advertising stakeholders, relevant people of diverse backgrounds, government bodies, and individuals whose responsibilities involve promotion of goods and services in Nigeria, to discuss or deliberate on emerging issues and proffer solutions to them.
The forum also provides the opportunity to enlighten participants on the provisions of the Nigerian Code of Advertising Practice. Previous Public Forum had as their themes 'Advertising and Social Engineering', 'Digital Broadcasting and Advertising,' ' Who is Killing Advertising' and 'Advertising in a Recession'.
The law establishing APCON empowers it to determine who are advertising practitioners and maintain a register of practitioners.
Pursuant to this provision APCON conducts inductions from time to time to admit/initiate qualified persons into the advertising profession.
New practitioners are first inducted as associates. With more years of practice and training the inductees get upgraded to full membership cadre.
The Council on Friday, May 8, 1992 inducted the first set of registered Advertising Practitioners in Nigeria. They include 10 fellows, 144 full members and 108 associate members.

RICHMOND, Va. – VCU Women's Basketball has released its 2018-19 non-conference schedule that is highlighted by games against two ACC programs, one Big East program and one American Athletic Conference program. The Rams are also set to play in a Thanksgiving Tournament at UTSA and have five home games.
The slate also features a game against 2018 NCAA Tournament participant North Carolina A&T and 2018 WNIT participants Georgetown and Radford. In total, VCU will play five home games, two neutral site games and six games on the road.
"I am looking forward to starting off our 2018-19 campaign with a very challenging non-conference schedule. We've put together an exciting schedule that will also prepare us for a great A-10 season," said head coach Beth O'Boyle.
VCU returns a wealth of young talent from last year's team including seven of its eight top scorers, led by All-Atlantic 10 Rookie Team member Tera Reed. The Rams have also added three new faces in freshmen Kseniya Malashka and Lauryn Thompson as well as junior college transfer KK Tassin. In addition, Jordan Agustus is eligible to play after sitting out last season due to NCAA transfer rules.
The Rams tip off their season by traveling to William & Mary (Nov. 6) before their home opener against Longwood (Nov. 9). VCU will then travel to Chapel Hill for a matchup with ACC foe North Carolina (Nov. 14).
The Rams return home to host another ACC opponent in Wake Forest (Nov. 18) before heading to Texas for the UTSA Thanksgiving Tournament. There, VCU is slated to play Weber State (Nov. 23) and IUPUI (Nov. 25) at UTSA.
The Rams finish out the month of November with a home contest against UNCW (Nov. 28) before hitting the road for three games in 14 days. During that road swing, the Rams travel to Georgetown (Dec. 2), Cincinnati (Dec. 7) and Old Dominion (Dec. 16).
VCU ends their non-conference slate with a three game homestand. 2018 WNIT participant Radford (Dec. 19) (WNIT) and 2018 NCAA Tournament participant North Carolina A&T (Dec. 21). (NCAA Tournament) will both make the trip to Richmond. The Rams final non-conference opponent will be Delaware State (Dec. 31).


text: The ICDP "PaleoVan" drilling campaign at Lake Van, Turkey, provided a long (> 100 m) record of lacustrine subsurface sedimentary microbial cell abundance. After the ICDP campaign at Potrok Aike, Argentina, this is only the second time deep lacustrine cell counts have been documented. Two sites were cored and revealed a strikingly similar cell distribution despite differences in organic matter content and microbial activity. Although shifted towards higher values, cell counts from Lake Potrok Aike, Argentina, reveal very similar distribution patterns with depth. The lacustrine cell count data are significantly different from published marine records; the most probable cause is differences in sedimentary organic matter composition with marine sediments containing a higher fraction of labile organic matter. Previous studies showed that microbial activity and abundance increase centimetres to metres around geologic interfaces. The finely laminated Lake Van sediment allowed studying this phenomenon on the microscale. We sampled at the scale of individual laminae, and in some depth intervals, we found large differences in microbial abundance between the different laminae. This small-scale heterogeneity is normally overlooked due to much larger sampling intervals that integrate over several centimetres. However, not all laminated intervals exhibit such large differences in microbial abundance, and some non-laminated horizons show large variability on the millimetre scale as well. The reasons for such contrasting observations remain elusive, but indicate that heterogeneity of microbial abundance in subsurface sediments has not been taken into account sufficiently. These findings have implications not just for microbiological studies but for geochemistry as well, as the large differences in microbial abundance clearly show that there are distinct microhabitats that deviate considerably from the surrounding layers.

Early Work
Project info
Many years ago, as an undergraduate and for several years after graduating, my work looked very different from what it does today. No great surprise there, but I'm happy to say that I'm not embarrassed by it- in fact, in some ways I'm quite proud.
I worked intuitively, with little regard to standard technique. At the time, I liked to think that the pictures told more about how something felt, rather than how it looked. I suppose I still feel the same today.

[Deleted User] Posts: 2,111You said you were 15 or 16 years old, something like that?
If that's true, you need to start getting into writing some originals. If you can't do the music, find someone. You have a great voice at a young age. Take advantage of that.
The song sounded really good. Your voice seems to have really taken off in the last six months. You must really be working hard.
Awesome job!
ALEXDEITEMEYER Posts: 60MemberIt's impressive to see you sing this song at an advanced level this young. I had trouble learning this song at first because of the arrangement and there were times that Freddy Mercury's lead vocals were buried in the harmonies. But i was eventually able to successfully learn this song. Try learning "The Show Must Go on" or "Who wants to Live Forever." I also think both of these would be good songs for you to learn.

Our most lavish and spacious room, the Lily of the Valley has a French country feel with a cherry four-poster bed. Lavishly soaking yourselves in the two-person sunken tub and German shower with nine showerheads is unforgettable. The suite also features delightful views of all three of our gardens from the comfortable nooks sunken into the window dormers.

Dynamic Capacity is the term used by Fujitsu to describe a range of solutions that allows your payments to fluctuate according to the amount of server or storage capacity which is used. The solutions work by agreeing a 'base' level charge which is aligned to the estimated capacity usage on a monthly basis and then any usage over and above that agreed level is automatically logged and billed at an agreed rate on a monthly basis.
These payment solutions are ideal for businesses which use small amounts of additional capacity at certain times ie monthly payroll, nightly backup etc. or for companies that are growing rapidly and know that they will need additional capacity at short notice. Unexpected peak loads, expansive growth plans and a regular need for additional server or memory capacity can now be managed without large-scale additional investment.

The big news in blogland today, locally at least, has been the release of the so called National Standards data. I say so called because as best I can tell, they are not actually standardized.
The National Standards data (NSD) are problematic. There's a number of problems with presenting the NSD in the form that have been. For a start they don't actually say anything. An attempt was made to justify the release, claiming that it wasn't about selling paper. Journalists claim to have released the data to drive discussion on National Standards. This defence is weak at best, on one hand claiming that no measure of quality can be extracted from the data released : "Anyone who read the National Standards results as a proxy for quality would be quite foolish". Four paragraphs later they declare that they there are problems with National Standards: "If there are problems with the National Standards - and it's pretty clear that there are". How they reach this conclusion with no data regarding the quality of National Standards is a mystery. I can only surmise that the journalists who did this are either ignorant of what the job of a journalist actually is or that they are incompetent. Publishing data like this with no attempt to interpret it reduces journalism to stenography.
There are two very large problems with releasing data like this. The first is that it can be very easily be used to support unjustified claims. This sort of behaviour has been well demonstrated today with the herald reporting larger class sizes produce better educational results. A claim that just does not stand up. The second problem is that most people are going to trust what the herald and say. Some of us will look closer and understand that the claims put forth by employees of the herald pretending to be journalists are complete tosh. Most will not - they're to busy living their lives and still have a soupçon of faith in our media. And because its the journalists who are making up these stories in the first place then the chances of their unjustified claims of larger class sizes being better are unlikely to ever be reported to the public that they have already misled.
It also illustrates the point I was trying to make last week about transparency and process. In some ways the ideal journalist is similar to a scientist. Journalists are bound a lot looser than scientists but both have a responsibility to sort through the raw data and report on what is actually there rather than what is superficially evident. Journalists do this by attempting to be vaguely competent and consulting those with relevant expertise before publishing something. Scientists generally go through the peer-review process. This makes the peer review process, not an arbiter of what is significant and what is not, but an assurance that a basic level of rigour has been used. Both journalists and scientists have, relatively speaking, positions of authority in today's society. If reporters start putting out raw data without even attempting to explain what it means then they are failing as journalists. And I this is why scientist don't release their data directly to the public before they have published - there is a responsibility to dig through the data and be sure about what it says. And we do this because most people do not have the time or the desire to acquire the statistical background necessary to look any deeper than is required for basic day to day operation.

After years in development hell, Scalped is finally beginning production on its pilot for WGN. Based on the Vertigo comic from Jason Aaron and R.M. Guéra, Scalped tells a story set to the backdrop of an American Indian reservation. In the comic, lead character Dashiell Bad Horse returns home after a decade and a half away to to help clean up the Rez along with the Tribal Police. It's a rare look at the life of America's modern Indigenous population in the world of comics, and will make for an even rarer TV show.
Back in 2014, WGN first announced plans to bring the comic to life. It wasn't until a year ago, however, that the Scalped pilot began moving forward with executive producers Geoff Johns and Doug Jung in tow. From there, it took until early this year for the directors to be announced, quickly followed by the casting of leads Bad Horse and Carol Red Crow. Now that the principal cast and crew have been assembled, the work of bringing the pilot to life has finally begun.
Aaron, also known for his work on Marvel's Thor and Doctor Strange comics, posted an image to his Twitter of the Scalped logo on a set of cast and crew chairs. With it, he signaled that production for the pilot is now underway:
Well today is kinda cool. pic.twitter.com/GnNk4d64UG
— Jason Aaron (@jasonaaron) April 17, 2017
As a creator, it's likely a surreal experience to see his work brought to life. There's no word on whether Aaron or Guéra will be involved in the project, but hopefully Johns will value their input seeing as he's a DC creative himself. Despite the long history of Native peoples in our country, they haven't always been reflected positively in media. Even then, they're often portrayed by non-Native actors. Luckily, the casting so far has favored actors of Native America descent. As such, it will join the unusual company of the Twilight films in terms of prominently featuring both Native characters and actors.
While plenty of mainstream comics from Marvel and DC have been brought to life on TV, Scalped will bear more in common with FOX's Lucifer (also a Vertigo comic), and AMC's The Walking Dead and Preacher (another Vertigo title). Like all three, it's a smaller comic with a strong fanbase that will follow its journey to new media - and similar to the latter two, it will feature a dark and somber tale full of colorful characters and corners of the US rarely explored. All told, Scalped looks to be an exciting direction for WGN and comic book TV shows.

Scalped currently has no official premiere date.

Being a community manager is extraordinary and exhausting.
You get to connect and create, but you're also drowning in information. Comments, requests, questions, emails. Notifications whooshing around at 90mph, all day. KPI's and ROI. Everyone demanding attention, needing you to listen, to fix, to respond, to cajole, to soothe, to champion.
Some days it's total overload. Some days you want to break every screen in front of you, join the National Park Service and spend three months manning a fire tower in Montana.
People who deal in content generation and manage relationships use more emotional and mental energy than most every day. Every interaction drains your cognitive power source - only a little, but these little losses add up.
Picture a thin, red string running from you to each member of your community. If you manage an organization with 10,000 members, that's 10,000 tiny threads. Picture much bigger threads running to influencers, colleagues, and your organization's leadership.
This makes it easier to envision your impact, and also to see how you can get pulled in multiple directions at once and get tangled up in all those threads. To keep from being tripped up, each one requires a little bit of energy and attention. It's rewarding, but tiring.
This is where the practice of taking breaks comes in.
We are inclined to believe that more time > more effort > and more speed > will make us more productive.
We're wrong.
Multiple studies (here and here, for starters), and my own work habits, have shown that regular breaks significantly enhance productivity and creativity.
A majority of the research on peak productivity recommends working intently for 40-50 minutes and then taking a 10-15 minute break. This technique is not only taught and encouraged at major corporations, it's how students at MIT and other elite universities are encouraged to study.
Break time isn't wasted time.
In order to allow your hardworking brain to function at its peak, you need to allow it a few minutes of rest every hour. Just like cooling down between exercises at the gym, your brain experiences fatigue and needs to rest. These breaks have an added benefit for community professionals - they allow you to step away from all of the strings pulling on you and re-center. By stepping away for a few moments, you'll be more effective at creating top-notch content and managing all those relationships.
Bottom line, you get more accomplished when you take breaks (and, your dreams won't be limited to Montana fire towers).
What constitutes a break?
An ideal break gets you out of your chair, away from your computer.
Go for a walk, go to the bathroom, doodle, listen to music, get outside, set a timer and breathe for a minute or two, stretch, meditate, read a few pages of a book, talk to a co-worker.
Once you do one of these, come back and enjoy some baby animal pics. I'm serious, and you can thank Japanese researchers for this one. They have found that college students performed better after looking at images of baby animals. Interestingly, adult animals and food didn't have the same impact. So: baby French Bulldogs, yes. French fries, not so much.
I know so many community managers that check in on their members all hours of the day –some even setting an alarm for the middle of the night. If that's you, I encourage you to consider ways in which you can restructure boundaries and expectations so that at the minimum, you get a few uninterrupted, community-free hours every day. (And for those 2am community-checker-uppers out there, I beg you to stop. It is really, truly, detrimental to your much needed sleep!)
Another tip: Please take your vacation days, all of them. Every year. Summer is here –take ten minutes today to figure out when you're taking time off! Even a long weekend away from all of those threads pulling at you provides valuable rest, as people returning from extended time off have been shown to make fewer mistakes, be more productive and are less likely to feel resentful toward their job.
If taking breaks is new to you, start slow. Try working in at least two 10-15 minute breaks a day, and going from there. Or commit to eating lunch away from your desk, every day.
We talk a lot about burnout for community folks. It's an amazing, demanding job. So, think of it this way: To reach your full potential, to impact the most people, to stay healthy, schedule breaks or be ambushed by a breakdown.

(This is the fourth in an eight part series on the Monarch School of New England. Articles and photographs will showcase the history of the school: its journey in becoming one of the state's most highly recognized schools for its work with students with significant disabilities.)
By Cynthia Tokos
Marketing Director
ROCHESTER — In 1996, Dr. Walter Hoerman founded Lilac City Pediatrics; he has been practicing pediatrics in Rochester since 1988.
At one point in its history, in addition to the 5- to 21-year-olds, the Monarch School of New England served children from birth through kindergarten. During this time, Dr. Hoerman served for two years as a member of the school's board – he does not remember the dates of his service to the school.
When asked about the difference in working with today's children with special needs, to perhaps 20 years ago, Dr. Hoerman is quick to say that the health care profession has a much better understanding of the needs of a such a child. "It's important to look at each child as an individual," he says, "today's model is much more child-centered than it ever was before."
As a pediatrician who works with families with children with special needs, he sees himself as an advocate, someone who encourages the parents to "get every service they need" for their child, whether it be occupational therapy, speech or physical therapy. He likes the approach of the Monarch School of New England as it serves the "whole package" and provides a rounded approach to considering the needs of the whole child.
According to Dr. Hoerman, an important question every parent must ask is, "what does this child need to succeed" and then, "how can that be accomplished?"
He believes the Monarch School of New England has a role to play in working with school districts to be sure that children live their lives to the best of their abilities. The public is much more accepting of children with special needs and it is to everyone's interest that children learn and become part of the communities in which they live. Both Dr. Hoerman and the Monarch School of New England are committed to seeing this happen.

To some people, jogging 26.2 miles for fun seems like a batty idea. But it's as popular as ever: Last year, close to 500,000 Americans finished marathons. Fall features some of the country's most high-profile races, from the Chicago and Washington, D.C. Marine Corps marathons in October to the New York City marathon in November. Last year, Superstorm Sandy forced N.Y.C.'s organizers to cancel the five-borough run, which means this year's runners are even more fired up to hit the road. Racing this season? For an extra dose of motivation, check out these great books. Trust us: Whether you're a seasoned racer or a newbie looking to tick running 26.2 off your bucket list, there's something here for you.
1. 14 Minutes
Wisdom from legends
In the early 1980s, Cuban-born Alberto Salazar was one of the most decorated athletes in marathoning: Between 1980 and 1984, he won three consecutive New York City Marathons, setting a world record in 1981. (Alas, his achievement was later disputed when that year's course was found short.) When he hung up his shoes, Salazar became a coach, mentoring top runners Mo Farah and Galen Rupp. Still fit at 48, he seemed like an unlikely candidate for a heart attack—but in 2007, Salazar collapsed on a Beaverton, Ore. practice field. Salazar recalls the experience, along with his storied running career, in 14 Minutes.
2. Marathon Woman
At a time when more than 40 percent of American marathon finishers are female, it's hard to believe there was ever an era when women weren't allowed to participate in the sport. But that was the scene in the 1960s, as Kathrine Switzer, the first woman ever to register for and complete the Boston Marathon, describes in her memoir, Marathon Woman. During her historic run in April 1967, Switzer was taunted, harassed—and even assaulted. "[Race official Jock Semple] grabbed me and screamed at me, 'Get the hell out of my race,'" she told PBS. "I realized this was very important and it was probably going to change my life—and change women's sports."
3. Paula
While Switzer paved the way for female marathoners, Paula Radcliffe took women's marathon running to the next level: Ten years ago, the U.K. native and mom of two broke the tape at the London Marathon at 2:15:25, setting a world record that still stands today. That triumph aside, she's faced challenges in recent years: In 2004, she dropped out of the gold-medal race at the Athens summer Olympics with cramps. In her eponymous memoir, Paula, Radcliffe opens up about that crushing experience and more. Runners looking for Radcliffe's tips on the track should also check out her detailed guide, How to Run.
4. Marathon Man
With his blazing speed and hip persona, Bill Rodgers made marathon running cool in the swinging 1970s. He also racked up wins: Between 1975 and 1980, he won the Boston and New York City marathons four times each. Boston spectators took a particular shine to Rodgers, nicknaming him "Boston Billy." Rodgers remembers Boston's fans and the fabled course in Michael Connelly's and John Kelly's, 26 Miles to Boston, as well as his memoir, Marathon Man.
5. Marathon
Training bibles
Whether you're preparing for your first race or trying to improve your PR (personal record), Hal Higdon's classic guide Marathon is a great place to start. One of the running world's most beloved figures, Higdon—who's finished a mind-blowing 111 marathons himself—has been disseminating running advice to pavement-hitters for decades. Featuring training plans for runners at every level, Marathon is one of the best resources around.
6. Advanced Marathoning – 2nd Edition
So you log 100 miles a week, have 10 pairs of running shoes and got 26.2 tattooed on your forearm: We get it! This isn't your first rodeo. If you're an old hand at long-distance running, Advanced Marathoning, by former Olympian Peter Pfitzinger, is the guide for you. Full of workout ideas, cross-training suggestions and nutrition advice, Pfitzinger's popular book promises to make the fleetest-footed runners even faster. Follow this guide to shave a few seconds off your already speedy PR.
7. Galloway's Book on Running
One of the other biggest names in marathon running, Jeff Galloway, who ran for the U.S. in the 1972 Olympics, offers his philosophy on training in Galloway's Book on Running. Galloway's focus is to help injury-prone athletes stave off aches by taking staggered walking breaks throughout the run—not a bad idea for those attempting 26.2 for the very first time.
8. Daniels' Running Formula-3rd Edition
Former Olympian Jack Daniels identifies six key goals and five different training intensity levels in his guide. A little more complicated to follow but, as Daniels disciples would argue, very effective, Daniels' Running Formula is another popular one to try if you're deciding between training manuals this season.
9. Ultramarathon Man
Stories to keep you going
Okay, so this book isn't so much about your standard 26.2-mile marathon as it is about training for a race that might seem bananas to your average casual runner: ultramarathons, extreme endurance courses that can traverse trails of more than 100 miles. In 2006, Karnazes ran 50 marathons in 50 states in 50 days and became the subject of a documentary entitled, Ultramarathon Man. The same year, he came out with a book by the same name about his derring-do—a fun read by a guy who truly tested the limits of his body and mind.
10. Devoted
If you've ever read about father-son pair Dick and Rick Hoyt, you know how moving their story is. Born with cerebral palsy, Rick was never able to run on his own but loved the sensation of racing with his dad, who pushed Rick's road-fitted wheelchair. In 1981, the Holland, Mass. natives ran their first Boston Marathon—and they've done it every April since, completing 31 Bostons (this year would've been their 32nd finish, if not for the bombings that halted the race) and scores of other endurance events. In July, Dick, 73, and Rick, 51, were awarded a special ESPY award for their achievements. Dick tells their awe-inspiring story in Devoted.
11. Terry Fox
He stirred hearts worldwide with his courage, determination and stamina. In 1980, 21-year-old amputee Terry Fox embarked on a cross-country trek through Canada to raise awareness about cancer–specifically, osteosarcoma, the disease that claimed his leg. Starting in Newfoundland, Fox ran about a marathon a day for 143 days, logging 3,339 miles before his cancer returned and he was forced to drop out. Before he died in 1981, Fox became a national hero. Leslie Scrivener recalls his extraordinary life in Terry Fox.
12. Born to Run
Writers who run
Injury-plagued runner and journalist Christopher McDougall wanted to know what he could do to improve his form and stop suffering so many race-induced aches and pains. So, he embedded with Mexico's Tarahumara Indians, who can run hundreds of miles at a time, barefoot—without getting hurt. Incorporating first-hand dispatches from Mexico, interviews with Harvard researchers, and stories about top runners, McDougall crafts a riveting investigation into the science and art of running—a one-of-a-kind account any runner or reader will appreciate.
13. What I Talk About When I Talk About Running
When he's not writing quirky, beautiful novels, Haruki Murakami can be found pounding the pavement: A 20-time marathoner who completed a 62-mile ultramarathon in 1996, he's as avid a runner as he is a writer. The author reflects on the impact his healthy hobby has had on his craft in his memoir-slash-training guide, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running.

In the past 30 years of his career, Billy Bragg has recorded hit singles, composed Top Ten albums and written political anthems while blending elements of folk & punk rock and singing honest songs from the heart.
Billy Bragg embarked on a solo UK tour on 1st December 2010 and he will be headlining the Main Stage at Garforth Arts Festival 2011.
" a formidable, inquisitive and globetrotting combination of story-teller, historian, activist, father, enthusiast, pilgrim, entertainer, minstrel, humorist, rambler, sermoniser and scholar I often turn to no-nonsense, nimble-witted, worldly-wise Billy Bragg."
- Paul Morley, The Guardian.
Hugh Masekela has been at the heart of the music of his country since the 1960s; his soaring, joyful trumpet sound that brims with warmth and optimism, continues as an expression of resistance and a celebration of resilience.
After 20 years, Hugh Masekela still performs with magisterial ease. He's as much a charismatic orator as musician, and much of his magic is to do with timing. He sang with a wild abandon; he sent trumpet lines plunging and soaring; he cajoled the audience; he beat an African bell until I thought it would crack; and, in the old classic Stimela ("Steam Train"), he told the story with all the sound effects.
- Telegraph
Salsa Celtica's synthesis of Scottish and Irish traditional music with all the Latin American elements of salsa has taken them and their music all over the world. In the last ten years the group has been a hit equally at major celtic, jazz, world music and salsa festivals. Their albums have topped the New York and L.A. salsa charts and European world music charts, the band has been nominated for folk music awards and appeared as themselves in a feature film. Their line-up combines some of Scotland and Ireland's most exciting traditional musicians together with a stellar group of world, jazz and salsa musicians from the U.K. and Latin America. Salsa Celtica is a stunning combination of virtuosity and energy, making them one of the most exciting groups on the world music circuit today. Started in Edinburgh and Glasgow in 1995 Salsa Celtica has gone on to invent their own genre and then take it around the world and back again to critical and public acclaim. The group has released four studio albums, most recently "El Camino" also to critical and public acclaim. With a new studio album set for release in 2011 as well as a live album and DVD the band look set to push further their celtic salsa mission
"A stunning marriage of musical styles..."
- The Scotsman
"Scene stealers..."
- The Observer, UK
"This unique group is a dynamic force on the world music scene"

The Garforth Jazz Rock Band was formed in October of 2003 as part of the Garforth Community Arts School operated by, and based at, Garforth Community College in Garforth, East Leeds. The band was formed under the guidance of band leader Dave Evans and remains under his direction to this day.
Their repertoire includes jazz, funk, classic pop tracks, contemporary dance music arranged for a big band, traditional & modern South African music and grows larger with each rehearsal.
Since its conception in 2003 GJRB has gone on to become the busiest, and one of the best, youth jazz ensembles in the United Kingdom, performing all over the UK, and touring Ireland, Germany and most recently, Durban, South Africa <http://news.bbc.co.uk/local/leeds/hi/people_and_places/newsid_9421000/9421655.stm> !
The Wallbirds formed in early 2007 consisting of three cousins Anthony 'Walt' Lindley on vocals, guitar & harmonica, Chris Autey on vocals & drums and Luke Moreton on vocals & Bass.
In autumn/winter of 2007 the band toured the UK with The Pigeon Detectives and in 2008 they toured with Air Traffic, One Night Only, Kate Nash and The Wombats, to name a few. The Wallbirds released The Avenue on the Leeds based indie label Dance to the Radio. The single 'Lying at the Side of You' has already been played by the likes of BBC Radio 2's Janice Long, Chris Evans, Terry Wogan and Alex Lester. Also BBC Radio 6's Shaun Keavney and Chris Hawkins.

Who knew that Jameson uses, not barley alone with its "pure Irish Water from the Dungourney River", but maize from some French source?
Maize? Yeah, corn.
Sometimes, what I yearn for is not so much relief from the symptoms of my allergy, but merely definitive knowledge of what the culprit was, what comestible caused me to awaken looking like Jake LaMotta.
So, yes, when I opened my eyes this morning.... I couldn't open my eyes.
Live and learn.
All in all, its coming upon me in a week between activities and obligation - meh, coulda been woise.

But - this class was all about creating bird-feeders and I came up with a few originals and I experimented with several I found on the Internet. I loved how my DIY Wine Bottle Bird-Feeders turned out, but drilling the holes in the bottles takes a little practice to perfect the skill (and I still shatter a few bottles occasionally). This DIY, however, is similar and requires no tools - drills, drill bits, etc...
- Recycled glass water bottle - it must have a threaded cap (carbonated water, seltzer water, sparkling water, mineral water etc.). Wine bottles (even if they have a threaded cap) won't work.
- (Gadjit) premade plastic feeder base. You can occasionally find these adapters (they are designed to make a feeder out of a plastic 2 liter soda bottle) at a pet store, but you can also purchase one from my Etsy shop for $3.50 - click here: Rebecca's Bird Gardens (Etsy)
- 6 or 8 gauge copper wire (Home Depot - less than a dollar per foot). 8 gauge is easier to bend, but I like the look of the thicker gauge (6 gauge).
|Male Cardinal
Wrap the copper wire around the bottle. Start at the neck of the bottle (I make a small loop in the wire to have something to hold onto while I twist the wire). Continue wrapping the wire around the bottle making a hook or S shape at the top for hanging. -Add some "bling" (jewelry pendant, etc.).

From all the TV series that I have seen so far Muhteşem Yüzyıl is going to make my Top List of TV shows and is unfortunately kicking Chuck to 2nd place.
I loved watching all 5 seasons of Chuck and never thought another show would take its place, this was before I even knew about this Turkish Series which premiered in the Arab world in the end of 2011.
There have been other Turkish series that have been dubbed in Arabic and which I followed to the end more as a daily entertainment show since I am not the going out type of person but I couldn't say I loved them as to want to watch them again.
Hareem Al Sultan is the Arabic title to the series it refers to the wives ( hareem pl. to hurma – wife) of the sultan. More particular all woman who were privately involved with the sultan.
Since we don't know what has happened between closed doors in the private life of Suleiman the Magnificent we can only speculate. This is where this series jumps in, it is a fictional historical piece of art which is inspired by sultan Suleiman and takes us back 500 years ago to the era of the Ottoman Empire.
The main focus is on the relationships between the members of the Imperial household especially romance entanglements and rivalries.
This makes the story so much more interesting I already became infatuated with it and can hardly take my eyes of the screen, sleepless nights are not so unusual.
So far there have been 2 complete seasons with a total of 63 episodes from 70 – 130 min. in the Turkish series, yet in the Arabic dubbed version I need to watch 3 episodes which make up 1 episode to the original Turkish streaming episode. Sometimes it is frustrating just to be cut off, but after all I feel that I am lucky cause being able to speak Arabic I don't need to rely on English subtitles, I share the joy,sadness and suffering for the actors of the show. They truly lived up to their role.
Read all about the characters and its story by A place for Romance Lovers
It is very detailed and descriptive and I liked it very much.
Many rumors have been towards the 3rd season which is now airing on Turkish Star TV, one of them being that they wanted to bring an international well-known actor who played the role of a Mongolian Khan in a side role.
I don't know upon who took the role in the end, my last source tells me they got Mel Gibson but I couldn't get it confirmed.
For sure we will know soon enough.
I am still watching the episodes of season 2 without cheating, one by one. And though I might have taken a lead to the episodes shown on Arabic TV satellite,since I watch them online via Alarab TV (it's an Arabic website). It is a joy to watch them over and over again.
The first season of Hareem Al Sultan is showing on several public Nilesat channels, I watch it on 7 pm KSA time (4 GMT) on Alhayat Musalsalat. It might have reached the mid 20s episodes.
The second season of Hareem Al Sultan I watch on 8 pm KSA (5 GMT) on Dubai TV. The premiere was last Saturday, so today was the 5th episode.
Since its begin it has captured the viewers on the national basis, furthermore reaching to the Arab world and becoming one of the popular Turkish series which in my eyes will have international attention confirmed.
The series is giving us a glimpse how the past could have been. The decor of the structure, the costumes,the details of the scenery beautifully presented lets me imagine how much work has been put up which shouldn't go not accredited.
In my opinion Muhtesem Yuzyil as a series is a masterpiece of a kind of Turkish Historical Fiction TV.

Ralph Brown
Having recently moved home and finding that my new home still had a bath with shower over, and being of advanced age(90) I felt that an
independent shower was more suitable for my needs than having to negotiate climbing into a bath every time,added to which, if I were
to fall, or sit in a bath I might never be able to get out again !!
I did my research for a replacement, and finally settled on WASAB
to do the work, and could not be more pleased with the result,from the initial survey to the finished result, every thing was taken care of, all i had to do was pay the bill, which was inside my budget.
I now have a shower which I can walk straight in to with no problem
and completely fills my needs.
Thank you WASAB

Mr R Brown from Barnstaple, Devon
I moved to Devon in August last year, and all was well, except that the bathroom contained a bath with shower over.
With my advancing years (if I live this year out I will be 90) getting in, and particularly getting out, is a hazard I was not prepared to risk, so I looked around for a suitable replacement, and finally lit upon your company whose product seemed to fit the bill.
To cut a long story short, eventually it all came to pass, and I can express myself completely satisfied with the work done by Graham, the fitter, an excellent worker whom I would recommend without hesitation.
There were a few hiccups on the way, not helped by the Easter Holiday, but it all worked out well in the end I am pleased to say.
I am now able to use my freely available walk in shower without any risk to life or limb negotiating the bath side as before.
I might also add that all contact with Walk In Showers And Baths, the advisors, telephone staff etc has been a pleasant experience.

It is easy to learn Latin based languages for English speakers. A lot of people claim language learning to be really difficult, however, it isn't. You only need to learn these languages using the correct grammatical method. The method should be such that it connects both the languages conveniently. Here are 5 foreign languages that you should easily learn –
1. Spanish
Spanish is a Latin based language and if you can speak English and French both, then half your job is done. In fact, if you are into the job market, having Spanish on your resume will be of great help.
2. Italian
Italian is another language whose concept is fairly easy to grasp. Italian is considered to be one of the most romantic languages. Since it is also a Latin based language, it is fairly easy to learn. The sentence structure is so rhythmic that one can grasp it without any hassles.
3. French
A lot of people curse the complexity of French. However, if you are familiar with English, learning French isn't such big deal. In fact, 1/3rd of English is said to be French. It is supposed to be the mother of the languages of love. The difficulties in French are learning genders, types of verbs and correct pronunciation. If you can conquer these difficulties, you can conquer the language.
4. Portuguese
Portuguese has nasal vowel sounds which is the only difficulty learning it. Otherwise, it is one of the easiest languages with no interrogatives and just one question tags. Now, don't get confused with the no interrogatives, in Portuguese, assertive sentences are intonated to denote interrogation.
5. German
German definitely looks, reads and sounds extremely difficult but with a little effort this beauty can be won over. If you are very systematic, you will easily be able to grasp the logical methodology of the language. If you can roll your tongue like crazy and get a hang of the pronunciations, you are going to ace German.

Improving Your Home? Try Double Glazing
If there is one home improvement that can make a real difference to the look and feel of your home it is double glazing. It comes in a variety of designs and styles and not only looks good, but can also help cut your energy bills as well as improve the comfort of your home.
Read on for a guide to some of the benefits offered by double glazed windows:
Energy saving
Around a quarter of the energy that is generated in the home is lost through its windows and doors. If you want to make your home more comfortable and save on your energy bills it makes sense to replace your windows with something more efficient.
In fact, just upgrading single glazed windows to B-rated energy efficient double glazed windows could save the average homeowner around £165 a year on fuel bills.
What's more, fitting double glazing can actually make your home feel more comfortable as they can cut down on draughts and condensation build-up.
One thing that is incredibly important for homeowners is their security, and double glazed windows will help provide additional protection from the outside. Because single glazed windows only have one pain of glass they are quite easy to break into. However, with double glazed units, not only do they come fitted with toughened glass making them harder to break, they also come with a number of excellent security measures. They have hinge bolts fitted as standard so whatever happens the hinge side of the window will be just as secure as the lock side. What's more, the locks themselves are of the highest standard with anti-snap cylinders and guards to stop thieves. The windows themselves are internally beaded, so you can sleep in peace knowing that you have put these preventative measures in place.
Noise reduction
Everyone wants their home to be a sanctuary where they can shut out the outside world, so the last thing people want is noise coming into their house. However, because double glazed units have a gap of air between the two panes of glass not only does this make them more energy efficient, it can also help reduce the amount of noise entering your home. This means that when you return home, thanks to your new double glazed windows, you can shut out the outside world and spend time in a peaceful environment.
Maintenance free
Another great benefit of double glazed windows is the fact that they are virtually maintenance free. Unlike wooden window frames there is no need to treat them regularly or deal with things like rot. Instead, apart the odd clean now and again your windows will look good-as-new for years to come. This means that you won't need to spend money replacing your windows every few years or spend cash trying to keep them looking good.
If you are looking for double glazing in Leeds then why not visit Yorkshire's Premier double glazing company at one of Coral Window's showrooms in Bradford, Otley, Wakefield or Huddersfield.

Brocket Hall in Hertfordshire is well-known as the former residence of the
scandalous Lady Caroline Lamb, who had a notoriously public affair with Lord
Byron in the 19th century. The property was the setting for a rather
memorable dinner party, when she had herself served up naked in a soup
tureen to her husband as a birthday present.
A later resident was the prime minister Lord Palmerston, who reputedly died after a liason with a chambermaid on the billiard table there in 1865.
