About Manik SarkarManik Sarkar is the incumbent and 9th Chief Minister of the northeastern Indian state of Tripura. The longest serving chief minister of Tripura, Sarkar was first appointed to the post in 1998 and has not been away from the post ever since. He is widely regarded as the 'Most Honest' and 'Most Clean' chief minister. Sarkar is a politburo member of the Communist Party of India (Marxist).
Early Life and Education of Manik SarkarManik Sarkar was born on 22 January, 1949 in Radhakishorepur, Udaipur, Tripura into a middle-class family. Sarkar's mother, Anjali Sarkar, was a government employee in Tripura while his father, Amulya Sarkar, was a tailor. Sarkar graduated with a Bachelor of Commerce degree from Maharaja Bir Bikram College in Agartala, Tripura.
Personal Life of Manik SarkarManik Sarkar is married to Panchali Bhattacharya, who worked with the Central Social Welfare Board before retiring in 2011. Manik Sarkar enjoys a distinguished reputation as a chief minister as he is the lone head of the government amongst all the states in India who owns no house or car of his own. His wife has no personal security guards and does not use any mode of transport that is dedicated in service of the chief minister and his family.
Political Career of Manik SarkarManik Sarkar joined the students' movement in his college at the young age of 19 in 1968. His initial political exposure and experience led him to be appointed as the general secretary of the Students' Federation of India at the Maharaja Bir Bikram College. During the 1967 Food Movement, Manik Sarkar plunged himself straight into the movement, campaigning against the policies of the then ruling Congress government in Tripura.
At the age of 23, Manik Sarkar joined the State Committee of the CPI(M) in 1972. Six years down the line, in 1978, Sarkar was inducted into the party secretariat when the Communist Party got a chance to rule a government in Tripura for the very first time.
In 1980, he was elected as a member of the Legislative Assembly of Tripura, representing the Agartala constituency. He was then appointed as the Chief Whip of the CPI (M). Sarkar repeated his success in the Assembly elections and won from Kishannagar, Agartala in 1983. Manik Sarkar's performance and expertise was acknowledged and he was rewarded with the position of the State Secretary of the CPI (M) when the party rose to power in 1993.
In 1998, Manik Sarkar was appointed as a member of the politburo, the premier policy making and executive body in a communist party. There was no looking back from thereon for Sarkar. He was appointed to the CM's post the same year for the very first time. Since then Sarkar has emerged victorious in every subsequent Assembly election and has been elected as the Chief Minister for four consecutive terms. This gives Manik Sarkar a place in the club of longest-serving chief ministers in India.
Could not connect: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known A unique trait of Manik Sarkar's tenure as Tripura's Chief Minister has been that he donates his entire official salary to his party and takes only Rs 5,000 per month as his allowance. Sarkar thus draws the most minimum amount of salary amongst all the Chief Ministers in India and is thus often regarded as the 'Cleanest and Poorest' CM in India. Even his critics hail him as a corruption-free figure. According to his affidavit filed for the 2013 Tripura Assembly elections, Manik Sarkar's bank deposits amounted to a maximum of Rs 16,120.

In fact, the LMS is ground zero for the future of the academic library. If these libraries hope to remain relevant, they must provide information and services at the point of need. Embedding librarians and LibGuides is a good start, but what's most critical is an embeddable search widget.
Students must have a quick, easy way to search the literature that's relevant to their subject. So far, libraries have failed to meet this challenge. Discovery tools such as Summon and EDS come close, but coverage is spotty, and they lack support for local customization.
Getting this right is not just important for libraries. A universal search and discovery service that makes it easy for students to find answers from trusted sources is vital to the whole enterprise of learning and literacy. It transforms the LMS into a mission-critical bridge that connects direct instructional guidance to inquiry-based learning.
And this bridge should exist in every classroom. It makes no sense to limit the LMS to online education. Every class can benefit from a learning management system that offers online assessment and analytics, and that connects students to their teachers, and their peers, and to trusted sources of information. The LMS is the point of needwhere an "architecture for learning" can have the greatest impact.

It's possible to get or download caterpillar-wiring diagram from several websites. If you take a close look at the diagram you will observe the circuit includes the battery, relay, temperature sensor, wire, and a control, normally the engine control module. With an extensive collection of electronic symbols and components, it's been used among the most completed, easy and useful wiring diagram drawing program. 98 Chevy 1500 Radiator Diagram. The wiring diagram on the opposite hand is particularly beneficial to an outside electrician. Sometimes wiring diagram may also refer to the architectural wiring program. The simplest approach to read a home wiring diagram is to begin at the source, or the major power supply. Basically, the home wiring diagram is simply utilized to reveal the DIYer where the wires are.
If you can't locate the information, get in touch with the manufacturer. The info in the diagram doesn't indicate a power or ground supply. The intention of the fuse is to safeguard the wiring and electrical components on its circuit. A typical watch's basic objective is to tell you the good time of day. When selecting the best type of computer cable to fulfill your requirements, it is very important to consider your upcoming technology plans.
Installing a tachometer on your Vehicles can assist in preventing critical repair problems, however. You might have a weak ground issue. The way the brain learns is a subject that still requires a good deal of study. How it learns can be associated by how it is able to create memories.
In a parallel circuit, each unit is directly linked to the power supply, so each system gets the exact voltage. There are 3 basic sorts of standard light switches. The circuit needs to be checked with a volt tester whatsoever points. 98 Chevy 1500 Radiator Diagram. Each circuit displays a distinctive voltage condition. You are able to easily step up the voltage to the necessary level utilizing an inexpensive buck-boost transformer and steer clear of such issues. The voltage is the sum of electrical power produced by the battery. Be sure that the new fuse isn't blown, and carries the very same amperage.
Each fuse is going to have a suitable amp rating for those devices it's protecting. The wiring is merely a bit complicated. Our automotive wiring diagrams permit you to relish your new mobile electronics in place of spend countless hours attempting to work out which wires goes to which Ford part or component. Overall the wiring is really straight forward. There's a lot wiring that you've got to tie into your truck's wiring harness, but it's much easier to do than it seems. A ground wire offers short circuit protection and there's no neutral wire used. There's one particular wire leading from the distributor which may be used for the tachometer.
When you have just a single cable going into the box, you're at the close of the run, and you've got the simplest scenario possible. All trailer plugs and sockets are extremely easy to wire. The adapter has the essential crosslinks between the signals. Wiring a 7-pin plug on your truck can be a bit intimidating when you're looking at it from beyond the box.
The control box may have over three terminals. After you have the correct size box and have fed the cable to it, you're almost prepared to permit the wiring begin. Then there's also a fuse box that's for the body controls that is situated under the dash. 98 Chevy 1500 Radiator Diagram. You will find that every circuit has to have a load and every load has to have a power side and a ground side. Make certain that the transformer nameplate power is enough to supply the load that you're connecting.
The bulb has to be in its socket. Your light can be wired to the receiver and don't require supply additional capacity to light as it can get power from receiver.

The hair loss industry is rife with countless stories and testimonials about natural cures for hair loss and home remedies for hair loss and hair fall. People tend to favor natural hair growth products, and often believe that they will miraculously regrow hair (or reverse grey hair).
For the most part, such testimonials are bogus scams to promote various natural hair loss products. I have been following the hair loss world fairly regularly for over 12 years. During that time, I have reached the conclusion that natural hair loss treatments virtually never regrow hair that has been lost for a long time. In the best case scenario, you might bring back some peach fuzz in totally bald areas of the scalp.
However, natural remedies can definitely reduce the rate of hair fall.
Home Remedies and Natural Treatments for Hair Loss
However, there is solid evidence that certain natural products can improve the quality of existing hair and significantly reduce shedding and hair loss rate. Some natural home remedies keep hair in anagen (growth) phase longer, others directly impact growth factors and signaling pathways.
In this post, I will discuss natural hair loss treatment products that have some solid scientific backing. You should assume that none of these natural products will bring back hair in totally bald areas. It is quite surprising to me how many of the below mentioned studies have come out in 2014 through 2016.
This was big news last year when a new study came out, and I covered it in on this blog in a detailed post. Propolis is a product made by bees, and it has anti-inflammatory properties that result in healthier hair in mice. For more, see the published study from Japan on propolis and hair growth in mice. Several hair products with bee propolis in them have good reviews on Amazon, including Iden Bee Propolis Treatment and Iden Bee Nourished Shampoo & Conditioner Duo Pack.
Saw Palmetto
Saw Palmetto berry extract comes from a plant native to the United States. For years it has been claimed that Saw Palmetto reduces DHT levels resulting in less enlarged prostates and more scalp hair (just like the drug Finasteride, but a lot weaker). Although the proof of effectiveness on hair growth is far from certain, there is enough anecdotal evidence and research work to warrant including this plant in this post about natural cures. Some of the best selling hair loss shampoos on Amazon include Saw Palmetto as a key ingredient.
Oleuropein (Olive Drupe)
We keep reading about the miracle of olive oil and a Greek/ Mediterranean diet's positive impact on human lifespan. Now there is yet one more reason to buy olives: a study from earlier this year from South Korea found that topical application of oleuropein induces anagen hair growth in mice. The study is quite technical and it seems like oleuropein stimulates the critical Wnt10b/β-catenin signaling pathway (which is also crucial when it comes to human hair). Oleuropein also upregulates IGF-1, KGF, HGF, and VEGF gene expression in mice. Amazon has a highly rated oleuropein supplement for sale.
Vitamin B12 Deficiency and Hair Loss
There are a number of studies that have found vitamin B12 deficiency to lead to hair loss. The good news is that supplementation with this important vitamin can lead to a reversal in hair loss.
According to a report from Harvard Health, serious deficiency in vitamin B12 can be corrected via either: weekly shots of vitamin B12; or daily high-dose B12 pills.
Procyanidin B-2 (Extracted from Apples)
There are a number of studies that tout the benefits of Procyanidin B-2 (derived from Apples) for hair growth. DS Labs Revita Hair Growth Shampoo is probably the most famous product that contains Procyanidin B-2, and it has great reviews on Amazon.
Many shampoos include caffeine in them, including the popular ones list that I mentioned earlier in the Saw Palmetto section. This 2014 study suggests that caffeine really does have a beneficial effect on human scalp hair. And this 2017 study from India also comes to a similar conclusion. Caffeine acts a a hair stimulant.
Peppermint Oil
Yet again in mice. Apparently peppermint oil 3% results in better hair growth than Minoxidil 3% according to a 2014 study.
Pumpkin Seed Oil
A rare human study from 2014 finds that pumpkin seed oil is beneficial to hair growth on men with androgenic alopecia.
Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) from Green Tea
EGCG (usually derived from the dried leaves of green tea) has attained a stellar reputation worldwide for its purported health benefits and weight reduction properties. There is not enough proof of many of these benefits, but green tea in general has become synonymous with good health. So it is no surprise that there are several studies that have concluded EGCG to have a favorable impact on mouse hair as well as on human hair.
There are some reports that epilobium inhibits DHT just like Saw Palmetto, but I am not entirely convinced by the evidence. Nevertheless, numerous people on hair loss forums have tried this natural product so I am including it here.
Turmeric (Curcumin)
In recent years, turmeric has garnered significant interest as a miracle cure for all kinds of ailments ranging from cancer to Alzheimer's disease. While curcumin clearly has anti-inflammatory properties, proof regarding major health benefits is still limited. However, the following article and anecdotal reports made me want to include turmeric in this post for now.
Cuscuta Reflexa (Dodder Plant)
A few studies have shown that Cuscuta Reflexa inhibits 5 alpha-reductase activity and hence benefits hair growth. e.g., see here and here.
Several studies suggest seaweed extracts are beneficial to hair. One detailed study from South Korea touts the benefits of Grateloupia elliptica (a seaweed native to Jeju Island, Korea) on scalp hair growth. This same strain of seaweed as well as several others seems to also reduce inflammation in mice.
Methyl Vanillate
Topical methyl vanillate (a plant derived natural ingredient) increases hair count and hair mass index by inducing Wnt10b mRNA expression in the scalp. According to the study, methyl vanillate has recently been shown to activate the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, which has become a key target in the treatment of androgenic alopecia by numerous researchers in recent years.
Laminaria Japonica and Cistanche Tubulosa
This study from 2015 portends favorable to the above combination treatment.

From the White House
The Administration strongly opposes H.R. 358 because, as previously stated in the Statement of Administration Policy on H.R. 3, the legislation intrudes on women's reproductive freedom and access to health care and unnecessarily restricts the private insurance choices that women and their families have today.
"H.R. 3 proposes making permanent some federal bans for abortion funding - including the Hyde Amendment, which prohibits health-care programs like Medicaid from covering abortions except in cases of rape, incest and danger to the mother's life. The Hyde Amendment is a provision that requires annual renewal by Congress that has been in place since 1976.
The bill exempts a woman from the Hyde Amendment limitations only if she has become pregnant as the result of "forcible rape. Critics argue that specifying the term of rape as "forcible" in the legislation qualifies as a redefinition that excludes other forms of sexual assault - including statutory rape, which is often non-forcible."
"...the House passed HR 358, which would give hospitals the right to deny emergency abortions to women who need them to save their own lives. Women with ectopic pregnancies. Diabetes. Cancer. Blood clots.
Some people are calling it the "Let Women Die Bill." One reproductive-health website used this headline: "House GOP to Pregnant Women: Drop Dead."
It's a little much. But it's also true. And it should scare all of us." (Seattle TImes)
A federal judge on Tuesday blocked part of a new abortion law in North Carolina, holding that providers don't have to show or describe an ultrasound image to a pregnant woman or give her an opportunity to hear a heartbeat, the Raleigh News & Observer reported.

New instruments being born in the workshop, but not the usual sort (at least, not usual for me!)
Cookin' up a new gurdy preamp with even less noise than before. The secret ingredient? The pot itself! Turns out EM shielding is every bit as important as all those grumpy people on guitar forums spend their spare time telling each other.
Turns out that it's possible to use cheaply available (~2€ each) 7-pin SPI OLED displays with the magpie modular 8hp microbraids PCBs. A hardware and software modification are required, although as the ATMega is using software SPI it may be possible to work around the hardware modification with further software modifications.
Please note that I would not recommend building the magpie modular micro braids module! Instead, try one of the newer adaptions (e.g. the one from Antumbra) which uses normal LED displays and have prettier panels. This guide is intended as reference for people who still have one of the old boards lying around and want to get it working without shelling out 20€ or more for a tiny OLED module.
The seven pin SPI header on the cheap OLEDs I bought maps to the eight pin header of the original Adafruit OLED (and therefore the microbraids PCB) like this:
CS DC RS MOSI CLK Vin GND | X X | \ CS RS DC CLK MOSI Vin 3.3v GND
I cut the relevant traces on the OLED board, scratched away some solder mask and used enamel-insulated wire to connect the traces to their new pins. Then, I installed a 7 pin female header on the braids PCB, and bridged the 3.3v and GND pins, which sounds like a terrible idea, but the board doesn't make any use of the 3.3v pin, I'm just using it as a convenient way of connecting the OLED GND pin to the braids GND pin.
If your OLED module has the same layout as mine, it should end up looking something like this:
The display ends up being in a slightly different place to the original, but five minutes of filing the aluminium panel fixed that. It ended up looking a little bit messy, but the panel (from pusherman, not a magpie modular original) is extremely ugly anyway so it didn't make much difference. I quickly cut out and filed a 3mm acrylic screen, wedged it in place and secured it with some high-viscoscity superglue.
After reflowing and flashing both the ATMega and STM, everything was working perfectly, except the display was upside-down. Looking through the Adafruit graphics library led to a simple solution: adding the following line to the
init function on line 39 of mbraidsv3.ino:
display.setRotation(2); // Invert display for use with cheap Aliexpress 7-pin OLED
After re-flashing the ATMega, everything worked perfectly.
It was only after I made the hardware modification that I noticed the ATMega is using a software SPI library, with the pin definitions on lines 9-13 of mbraidsv3.ino. It should therefore be possible to achieve exactly the same result by leaving the OLED module unmodified, bridging the 3.3V and GND pins on the 8 pin OLED header on the PCB, and swapping the pin definitions around so they look like this:
#define OLED_MOSI 10 #define OLED_CLK 9 #define OLED_DC 13 #define OLED_CS 12 #define OLED_RESET 11
The display rotation mod will still be necessary, unless your display module is oriented differently. If anyone attempts the software modification please let me know, I'd be curious to know if it works!
Augmented Hurdy Gurdy Experiments
As I can't currently commit to building a new series of gurdies due to my living situation, I've been keeping myself busy developing the MIDI system for my instruments, to develop new extended, augmented playing techniques.
This video is the first demonstration of some hybrid electronic-acoustic experiments using the prototype MIDI system installed on my hurdy gurdy.
0:22 Technique: Pitch-shifting Polyphony
Gurdy MIDI and Audio → Apogee ONE → Macbook running a puredata patch
Monophonic acoustic gurdy signal is pitch-shifted down in real time to play chords and harmonies. Chords and intervals on the keyboard can also be used to pitch-shift the trompette signal (0:55) or the drones. Inspired by an idea from Sébastien Tron.
1:18 Technique: Expressive MIDI Controller
Hurdy Gurdy MIDI → DIY Hybrid Poly Synth based off Mutable Instruments Ambika
The keyboard and wheel sensors send MIDI note, expression and polyphonic aftertouch messages to a polyphonic synthesizer. In this case a split keyboard effect is used to play two sounds.
1:36 Technique: Layered Acoustic and Electronic Sound
Hurdy Gurdy Acoustic audio, Gurdy MIDI → DIY Hybrid Poly Synth based off Mutable Instruments Ambika
1:36 The acoustic string plays a melody, the bottom half of the keyboard controls a synthesizer with a long release for subtle held chords
2:08 Using trompette technique can send MIDI messages, used here to play synthesized percussion on an Ambika voice assigned to MIDI channel 10, whilst the keyboard plays chords.
2:30 Acoustic trompette and melody string sound layered over subtle polyphonic synthesized chords

#TIL that Cebuano-speaking Wikipedians are vastly more thorough in cataloguing the world's various "Goat Islands" than their English-speaking counterparts, although they neglect the more artistic uses of the phrase. Compare: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goat_Island vs https://ceb.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goat_Island
English-speaking wikipedians would have you believe that Canada only boasts a measly two Goat Islands, but the admirable Cebuano-speaking wikipedians reveal that the true number is sixteen times greater, coming second only to the US, which clocks in at almost one hundred.
The map of Chilean Goat Islands is possibly my new favourite wikipedia graphic:

After missing the crowdfunding campaign, I was happy to finally be able to buy a copy of Tobie Miller's excellent Bach solo hurdy gurdy CD at Chateau d'Ars last week. I couldn't find any official album artwork on the web yet, so here is a quick scan of the cover, for anyone else who got a copy already.
It is possible, if somewhat awkward, to update the Mooer Ocean Machine firmware on a mac using Wine and a cheap USB MIDI cable.
WARNING: if the firmware update doesn't complete successfully, it will not permanently brick your unit (as the update can always be attempted again) but the pedal will not work until a firmware is successfully installed! Attempt at your own risk, and definitely not 10 minutes before a gig.
First, download the update from the Mooer website. The update and update software comes in a .rar archive, so you'll need something like The Unarchiver to unpack it.
You'll need the latest version of Wine for Mac from winehq.org. I successfully installed the firmware update using 3.0.2. Using version 2.0 consistently failed.
Power on the Ocean Machine in firmware update mode and plug in your USB MIDI cable as specified by the update readme. Check in Audio MIDI Setup that it's working and recognised. Then, launch the updater using Wine. Select the firmware update file, then click "Update". You might get a popup window helpfully saying "MIDI Device Error!!". Try pressing Update again, if you're lucky it will work. If not, open Terminal and try the following solution.
The problem with (old versions of) Windows, Wine and this updater program is that they rely on the "MIDI device mapper" utility to decide which MIDI device to use. This would be fine, but under Wine for Mac there's no easy way of seeing a list of devices or configuring which device to use.
It is possible to change the default MIDI device used by the MIDI mapper, by creating a text file with the following code:
#0 is the default device, so start at #1.
I saved mine in MMap.ini. Then, run the following command:
wine regedit MMap.ini
and re-open the update app. If after two presses of Update you still get "MIDI Device Error!!", then quit the updater, change #1 to #2, run
wine regedit MMap.ini and try again. Repeat until successful. Yes, the update process sucks.
@_aitor I mostly reached a similar place and it's very relaxing. I occasionally have to remind myself that I'm helping purely because I chose to. The help might be ignored or even rejected, and that's fine. Might have an impact on whether I chose to help that particular person in the future, though…
Recently scanned some album covers I couldn't find on the web. Here they are, to save the work for any other fans of similarly obscure music:
Seitti, Brelo
Tanz', Duo Haertel Wascher
Eetu Klemetti - Kampi-Klemetin nuottikirja
Gregory Jolivet - Alt'o solo
Marylin Tucker & Paul Wilson - On The Tide
Marylin Tucker & Paul Wilson and friends - Dead Maid's Land
The Cornwall Songwriters - The Cry of Tin
Today's late-night puredata madness: creating a 7-limit just intonation abstraction which takes standard 12TET MIDI note numbers and spits the 7-limit just version, expressed as a decimal MIDI note number:
Talking of [filterview] (gh), here's the abstraction I made for it, incorporating stereo smooth filters and a nice mode switching UI made of a [hslider] hidden behind a bunch of canvases.
Each canvas has a receive ID of $0- plus the symbol for the relevant filter mode, making the message sending for changing the colours easy.
[biquad~] clicks and pops when changing coefficients, which is annoying when they're coming from the [filterview] UI. The best way I found of smoothing them was to alternate between two biquad~ objects and crossfade between them over 3ms. This approach, while a little cludgy, is probably generalisable to a lot of similar Pd situations where smooth transitions are desirable.

Published at Monday, July 23rd, 2018 - 06:57:43 AM. Bedroom. By Conradine Berger.
Baroque and Rococo decor are popular styles, and bedrooms are one of the places in your home where these eras of design can shine. The characteristics of Baroque furniture and Rococo elements are perfect for a space meant to be opulent, relaxing and luxurious. Curving lines, ample embellishment and sumptuous fabrics, which are typical of these styles, make a bedroom extra special.
It should be simple, but it's not. Decorating a bedroom is more complicated then we usually think. It's not enough to just choose a bed and a storage unit and fit them in the same room. You have to pay attention to numerous other details. The whole décor needs to feel like a harmonious space and you need to carefully choose all the decorations and elements that complement the basic furniture pieces. Each person prefers certain characteristics and has a favorite style. We managed to select 10 of our favorite bedroom interior decors. We hope you share the same preferences or that you can at least find elements that you like in these examples.

Image via WikipediaIdiocy this astounding deserves attention, and that is exactly what it will get here in the weekly Idiot of the Week series. A new winner will be announced each Saturday.
Admittedly, I am cheating a bit with this week's winner because the qualifying statements were made on Friday of last week. Still, I I would be remiss in my responsibilities to simply let it go. Therefore, I am happy to crown Kevin Wirth, Director of Product Development and Media Relations for Access Research Network, as Idiot of the Week.
And what, you ask, did Mr. Wirth say to qualify him for such a high honor?
Well, there currently exists under Obama's watch perhaps one of the most onerous abuses of our freedoms and Civil Rights that one could imagine. I'm speaking about Americans, not Islamic terrorists. Many of the freedoms guaranteed to all Americans are currently and have been under attack, but these actions are usually referred to as discrimination. I'm beginning to wonder if these actions shouldn't be classified as a form of terrorism. Who is under attack? The dissidents in our culture.Wow! So American dissidents are currently under attack by a new form of domestic terrorism. That doesn't sound good at all. Dissidents are often a strength. We couldn't have had any social change movements (e.g., suffrage, civil rights, etc.) without them. Just who are these dissidents now under attack?
These are the folks who challenge the conventional views held within our scientific, philosophical, and academic communities. But they are often made to pay a huge price for speaking their mind. Many freedoms have been stripped from dissident educators, students, and scientists who disagree with conventional wisdom on issues considered settled by many experts. They are often dismissed as kooks, pseudoscientists, and charlatans who we should either ignore or consider as serious threats to the survival of our society -- depending on who you talk to.Dissidents who are routinely dismissed as pseudoscientists? Hmmm...that's odd. Now you see where Wirth is heading, don't you?
The history of abuse by intellectual terrorists and Darwin fascists has just begun to be documented and is irrefutable. And, it presents Obama and Co. with a clear example of violations he says he will not tolerate. Terrorism of any kind that threatens the freedoms of any Americans should neither be excused or ignored.And there you have it! Wirth is actually claiming that those who accept the foundation of modern biology and prefer to teach actual science as opposed to superstitious nonsense are...terrorists.

Well before dawn, a small team headed out to find out how the seagrass meadows at Sentosa's natural shores are doing.
Oct 2011.
The seagrasses at Sentosa seem to be doing well. Today, we saw lots of Spoon seagrasses (Halophila ovalis) and Tape seagrasses (Enhalus acoroides). Siti also saw some Sickle seagrass (Thalassia hemprichii) here in Apr 2012, but we didn't come across it today.
Oct 2011.
Hairy green seaweed (Bryopsis sp.).
As we monitor, we also come across sea creatures. Sharp-eyed Shao Wei spotted an octopus! As I tried to take a photo of it, it decided to take a closer look at my tiny Sneaky Swimming Camera! Before it disappeared into a burrow.
wild shores of singapore blog.
Thanks to Rae and Shao Wei for the hospitality and helping out with the monitoring so early in the morning!
Work is ongoing to install floating 'security barriers' along the shores of Sentosa which seem to include some part of this natural shore. Let's hope this work will not permanently damage the seagrasses here. Monitoring will help us know how the work affects them.

CB I Hate Perfume amBrosius is the product of Christopher Brosius' endeavours to create an ideal amber blend.
The name is derived from the latin word for amber, a word which is – coincidentally – the origination of Brosius' name. With this divine intervention in place, it seemed only fitting that he created an amber fragrance to end all amber fragrances.
For amBrosius, he blended that amber with cistus, labdanum and benzoin among other natural resins, and arrived at a perfume that seems to crackle and smoulder on the skin.
" Naturally I love smoky incense scents but this one is particularly delicious." – Christopher Brosius.

Sweet to play, evil to complete. Monster Candy is a new puzzle game of logic and deduction.
Monster Candy improves upon the classic gameplay of Sudoku and Minesweeper with several twists that bring new challenges to your quest for puzzle adventure. Players begin with a board of candies that they need to flip in order to find good candy. Once flipped, the direction that good candy is looking will show you which candy it believes might be a monster. The more good candy you flip, the easier it gets to guess where the monster candy might be hiding. But, flip one monster candy and it's game over.
The first few levels introduce you to the game, showing you how to play, showing you how to avoid the Monster Candies by learning where they are hiding. The level of challenge rises steadily, so you'll need to get your thinking cap on. Created to deliver enjoyment and challenge to gamers of all ages.

BOSTON (AP) � The puck went in off pads and skates and the goalie's back, and New Jersey got the final lucky bounce.
Two of the best teams in the Eastern Conference settled it with some of their worst goals, and the Devils beat the Boston Bruins 4-3 on Thursday night when Jamie Langenbrunner scored his second of the game 1:11 into overtime.
"There were a lot of strange goals out there," said Devils coach Brent Sutter, whose team gave up three third-period goals before Patrik Elias scored off his skate to tie it 3-all with 1:45 left in regulation. "It was a good hockey game, obviously, but there was some weird stuff that certainly happened."
Langenbrunner, who also scored the game's first goal as New Jersey took a 2-0 lead, gave the Devils their seventh consecutive win when he swept around and put in a rebound of Colin White's shot that went off Travis Zajac. Scott Clemmensen stopped 24 shots for New Jersey.
Tim Thomas made 26 saves for the Bruins, who lost for the fifth time in 21 games. Boston's Marc Savard had a goal and an assist, and Phil Kessel had a pair of assists in his first game after missing six with mononucleosis.
The Atlantic Division-leading Devils, who had given up just six goals in five games, moved past Washington and into second place in the Eastern Conference, 11 points behind the Bruins.
"They're the team that everybody needs to measure themselves against, and rightfully so," Langenbrunner said. "They've had a great year, and we just wanted to see if we could play with them. I think we proved a little something to ourselves tonight that if we're on top of our game we can."
Langenbrunner and Zach Parise scored to give the Devils a 2-0 lead after two, but Boston took its first lead on Dennis Wideman's slap shot with 6:30 left.
New Jersey tied it when Elias crashed the net and knocked a pass from Brian Gionta off his skate and past Thomas with 1:45 to play in regulation; a replay review confirmed he did not kick it in on purpose.
"Our guys did a good job of getting ourselves back in the game," Bruins coach Claude Julien said. "It was a game where you really have to work hard to score goals. There wasn't a ton of pretty ones."
Langenbrunner gave the Devils a 1-0 lead with 4:59 left in the first period on a short-handed goal, putting the puck off both of Thomas' pads before it squeaked across the goal line. Langenbrunner assisted when Parise put a shot off Thomas' back from behind the net with 13:39 left in the second to make it 2-0.
"It was a battle of who was going to score the most goals on themselves," Thomas said.
The Bruins made it 2-1 with 17:40 left in the third when Clemmensen went behind the net to play the puck but left it there for Chuck Kobasew, who swept it around and into the post. Kobasew got the rebound into the net, and Clemmensen gloved the puck out of the air, but the replay showed that it had crossed the line.
Savard scored his 18th of season 7:11 into the third, taking a pass from behind the net on the side, sliding it over the goal line, and wristing it between Clemmensen and the post to tie it 2-all.
Notes:@ Devils forward Jay Pandolfo missed his fourth straight game as a healthy scratch. ... Parise extended his point streak to five games. ... Savard has a six-game point streak. ... Before this season, two of Clemmensen's eight NHL wins were against the Bruins. The Devils goalie also played in the new Boston Garden while at Boston College.

Today's review is the second of three books I purchased on my last trip around the UK for a series of job interviews. At the start of the summer I purchased 'The Good Man Jesus and the Scoundrel Christ' by Philip Pullman, Carter Beats the Devil by Glen David Gold and 'Heavens Shadow' by David S Goyer (he of The Dark Knight) and Michael Cassutt (he of The Twilight Zone), from a Waterstones in Doncaster. It was unusual enough of me to be purchasing paperbacks since I buy most of my books on my lovely Kindle, but all the more unusual to buy from a Waterstones, a company in recent years which gives bad names to brick and mortar book stores. They also treated my fiancée terribly when she worked for them. However I digress, this was a taint free branch store and I have to say, two books into my Three for Two deal, I am delighted with my purchases. Religion, Magic, hard Sci-Fi. I had quite the eclectic choice that day.
Carter Beats the Devil is the first novel from Glen David Gold who reveals a debt of gratitude to the UC Irvine Creative Writing Program as "the greatest learning experience of my life" It took him five years to write this book and vast quantities of his student loan to buy biographies and memoirs of magicians and other pieces of research. If you had doubts about the usefulness of creative writing programs or writing circles this should underline how valuable they are – with the right mentor, with the right class of fellow students reading and peer-critiquing, and suitable inspiration it can have incredible results – with a bit of luck. Glen David Golds debut here earns every one of its cover quotes; Addictive (Guardian), Electrifying (Independent), Magnificent (Charles Pallister), Magical (Independent on Sunday, yes I groaned at the pun pre-reading), Extraordinary (Daily Telegraph). It is all of them, and more than everything earns that description of magical. The writing is as magical as the characters and events described.
Charles Carter ('the Great' as he is proclaimed by Houdini in the novel) is a thoroughly likeable chap who finds tricks and illusions more readily understandable than the magic of stocks and bonds that his father and brother practice. This love affair with music sees him skip college, travel the world as a bit part 'Kard and Koin' man on a vaudeville show and eventually graduate to headline act before the real drama even gets going featuring cannons, murder, Presidential assassinations (x2), fallen women, blind persons dogs, Lions that roar on command, vanishing elephants, pirates, prohibition and discoveries that could change the course of the world (fought over by Radio executives on one side seeing money, Military men on the other seeing conquest, and Charles Carter seeing a neat trick). The book is fiction, inspired by real life, and it does what all great fiction and magic does – it disguises the point where reality ends and illusion begins. I'm not ashamed to say I kept googling events!
The author evokes a time of wonder and change transitioning from a period when travelling fairs were still largely animal fairs (slowly becoming rides and skill stalls) to the arrival of radio and dawn of television which the book takes as one of its three main plots. This sees the plots get so wrapped up and convoluted that you would doubt a magician could escape let alone the author but this is one trick Glen David Gold does with aplomb and he had me wanting to applaud aloud at his final chapters.
For a book to truly resonate with me it has to have a point – it has to say something meaningful by its final page and one line, a few paragraphs from conclusion did just this for me;
"There were never moments in your life when you actually saw something end, for whether you knew it or not something else was always flowering. Never a disappearance, always a transformation."
Any person who reflects back on their life will see the truth in these words. I find myself in my own time of flux going from the end of studies into a life of work teaching but must acknowledge its not as clear as that as I began cover teaching whilst still training, and had stories published whilst doing both. So no part of my life had a hard end and abrupt beginning (besides my birth). You can apply that passage to good writing – character development should be a transformation over the passage of many pages not a sudden change. Look at the chronologically earliest chapter of this book and you find a boy completely different to the almost heroic, world worn magician at the end.
In closing I highly recommend this debut novel – many a night I've been nudged by a grumpy sleepy partner wanting me to turn out the light after I'd become engrossed in reading for hours – and will myself be looking to pick up Glen David Golds second novel Sunnyside featuring 800 Charlie Chaplin's. A sample chapter is in the back of the edition of Carter Beats the Devil that I read.
Read this book and pass it on. Take Carter The Great – Everywhere! (cookie to the person who explains that reference).
P.S. Rumor has it that Johnny Depp is being courted to play the film version. This I would absolutely love.

The coach for one of the world's most well-known mixed martial arts (MMA) fighters filed a voluntary petition for Chapter 7 bankruptcy during the summer of 2015. In re Tarverdyan, No. 2:15-bk-21909, petition (C.D. Cal., Jul. 29, 2015). The case has experienced multiple delays, with the court-appointed trustee and the debtor jointly requesting continuances on several occasions. This demonstrates many of the complicated factors sometimes found in Chapter 7 proceedings.
A Chapter 7 case allows an individual debtor to liquidate assets and use the proceeds to pay down their debts. At the end of the case, the court may grant a discharge of some or all remaining debts. Several important proceedings must take place before a court can grant a discharge. First, the trustee must hold a meeting of creditors and other interested parties "within a reasonable time" after a debtor files a voluntary bankruptcy petition. 11 U.S.C. § 341(a). This is commonly known as a "341 meeting" or "341 hearing."
In Chapter 7 cases, the trustee must conduct an oral examination of the debtor at the 341 meeting in order to make several findings, including the "potential consequences" for the debtor of a discharge, the effect of a discharge on creditors and others, and whether the debtor could file under a different chapter. Id. at § 341(d). Once the trustee has obtained all the required information from the debtor, they must decide whether to recommend or oppose a discharge of debt based on these findings.

In policy terms, December, 2008 is not turning out to be a keeper for French President Nicolas Sarkozy. Less than 24 hours after his government was forced to delay much touted education reforms in the face of protests by high school students, Sarkozy was forced to make big concessions to plans to legalize Sunday trading in France. Far from the sweeping liberalization Sarkozy had called for as part of his plan to let French employees "work more to earn more", the compromise bill will modestly augment the number of exceptional Sundays shops are already permitted to open.
Parliament is scheduled to begin debating the bill today, more than a week later than intended. The reform would have overturned a 1906 law that sets aside Sunday for rest and allowed shops in France's largest cities to open as they wished. But it faced fierce opposition from both the left and right. Socialist legislators have already filed over 4,000 amendments to the draft law, while members of Sarkozy's own ruling conservative majority have used a mix of religious and familial concerns to oppose it. With the number of right-wing dissenters growing ever larger, Sarkozy was forced to cave and save what he could of his Sunday legislation. (Read Tony Blair's view of Sarkozy, a runner-up for TIME's Person of the Year.)
"We're no longer talking about a generalization of Sunday opening hours," crowed Marc Le Fur, a member of Sarkozy's conservative Union for a Popular Majority (UMP). "France and the French people remain fond of Sunday as a rest day. This text will conserve Sundays as a day of rest."
Opinion polls in France show that slightly more than half the population want shops to have the freedom to open on Sundays. But a powerful range of opponents combined against the idea. Leftist politicians and unions, for example, denounced the plan as introducing a seven-day work week. That, they say, would allow bosses to force workers to work Sundays despite measures in the original bill that stipulated Sunday hours were both optional, and higher-paid. Conservatives, meantime, brushed off Sarkozy's assurances that the extra day of activity would boost France's economy, and focused on the fact that Sunday trading would deprive families, associations, and church groups the one day of free time people build their week around. (See pictures of Sarkozy and his wife in London.)
Realizing he would not win this battle, Sarkozy amended the proposal. It now calls for doubling the number of exceptions to Sunday closing rules per year from the current five to 10, not counting the period prior to Christmas. Even then, however, city councils must approve local extension of Sunday openings, a green light that may prove hard to obtain after the nation-wide romp the Socialists enjoyed in municipal elections last spring. "Don't bother voting this text, because it won't be applied," warned Socialist Party leader and mayor of Lille Martine Aubry. "We'll be as ferocious in battling this project as we were the initial one."
Perhaps. But the government still appoints regional prefects, and they wield veto power over how municipalities apply new laws. Sarkozy and Sunday-minded shop owners could yet have the last laugh yet.

The San Diego love affair began this past July when I ran away for 5 days. I didn't know much about SD other than it was 2 hours away from LA and I had a few friends who lived in Pacific Beach. I had this overwhelming feeling that I had to get out of LA as fast as I could. So I did. I called my friend on Thursday night, packed a bag, got in my car, and left the next morning.
Can I just say that I-5 has never looked better than it does on the way down to San Diego? Almost everywhere else in California, I-5 is a complete migraine. It's ugly, barren and dry. Once you're past Orange County everything just looks green. Seriously, everything. It's kind of unreal in the most beautiful way.
Since that first "runaway" trip I've been back a handful of times. I can't seem to help myself. It's gorgeous down there, the weather rocks and they have killer Mexican food. I tend to stay in the Pacific Beach area and Garnet has become my new favorite street since it has so many little shops, bars and restaurants.
This past weekend I made a 24 hour trip to SD to catch the Giants play the Padres at Petco stadium. After the game, my friends and I met up with more of our high school friends at the new country bar off Garnet called Reds. They only play country music, it's amazing. Garth Brooks, Hunter Hayes, Taylor Swift, George Straight, old and new they played it all. I was in heaven. Mostly because it was the first time I'd been anywhere and I didn't have to pretend that I knew the words to every single song, I actually did. Seriously, every single one.
San Diego, I love you. Thank you for being my escape when I need to get out of la-la land. Thank you for always being delicious. And thank you for tanning my pale white skin. Everything you do is much appreciated.

FYCEL and ACEL: A Developmental Approach to Community Engaged Learning at TCNJ
Community Engaged Learning at TCNJ primarily takes two forms: First-year CEL (FYCEL) and Advanced CEL (ACEL).
- First-year CEL experiences are designed to introduce students to community engagement activities and stoke an interest in civic involvement;
- Advanced CEL experiences build on the FYCEL experience to apply discipline-specific concepts and skills to address a community-identified need.
The developmental pathway from FYCEL through ACEL is designed to be cumulative and iterative in developing students' civic interests and skills and enabling them to apply their education to real-world public problems.
First-Year CEL
All first-year students are required to participate in a community engaged learning experience, either through their First Seminar Program course (FSP) or through a co-curricular CEL day. Listed on their transcript as IDS103, this 8-hour FYCEL experience is a graduation requirement.
Curricular, FSP-based FYCEL experiences are integrated into the FSP course design and complement the existing learning objectives of FSPs. Co-curricular CEL days are generally one-day activities during which students learn about the history and context of a particular issue in the Trenton region, and engage in a project or activity alongside community members to help address this issue.
For more information, contact Brittany Aydelotte at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Advanced CEL
ACEL experiences are course-based CEL activities in 200-level and above courses that complement the existing learning objectives of the course. Designed in close consultation between CELR Center staff and the course instructor, ACEL courses take course-specific skills and knowledge and apply them to address community-identified issues. ACEL experiences are generally 15-20 hours of community engagement, and a substantial course assignment is built around the CEL experience.

When I was a kid, we had this movie that we'd taped off of TV that I watched over and over like a crazy person. I don't remember the name of the movie or what it was about, just that it was sad all the way through and then happy at the very, very, very end when somebody (a little girl maybe? With her dad?) floated off in a hot air balloon. One day, because it had to happen sometime, somebody taped over the first half of the movie. I didn't care. I still watched the last half of the movie repeatedly, even though it didn't make a lot of sense without the first half.
The point was that it made me feel infinitely sad and irreparably broken, and then everything was fixed, and I got the feeling that the hot air balloon ride was what had fixed the unfixable thing. I'd describe it better, but all I can remember are the feelings. Which are, of course, the most important part of a movie anyway.
I'm not sure where that VHS ended up, and I haven't seen it in years, but every time I see a hot air balloon I think about it the way you'd think about something that had actually happened to you, not just something that had happened on half of a made-for-TV movie you taped off of CBS when you were eight.
We saw this one last night on our way into town from the lake. Oh, my heart. If anyone even has a guess at what movie it might have been, with a little girl and a dad and hot air balloons at the very end, you should definitely let me know. I'll be indebted to you for at least a year or two.

Guns N' Roses, Donovan and the Faces are among the 2012 inductees to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Despite snubs for the Cure and a pair of disco acts, the Hall's new honourees include Laura Nyro's expressive pop to the Red Hot Chili Peppers' Californicating funk.
Now that votes have been counted, the Hall's 15 nominees have been whittled down to the following acts: Beastie Boys, Donovan, Guns N' Roses, Laura Nyro, Red Hot Chili Peppers and a combined honour for the Faces/Small Faces. Bluesman Freddie King, who died in 1976, will be inducted as an "early influence"; the late song publisher Don Kirshner will receive the Ahmet Ertegun award for non-performers; and awards for musical excellence will go to producers Tom Dowd, Cosimo Matassa and Glyn Johns.
"I'm pleased as punch," Donovan said. "A very touching part of this, for me, is the inclusion of the lovely Laura Nyro, who left us too soon, of course." The Chili Peppers' Anthony Kiedis was even more poignant. "I called my Dad and cried," he said. "The most emotional part for me was thinking about [original guitarist] Hillel Slovak … It's really kind of his induction that I'm the most excited about." Slovak died from a heroin overdose in 1988.
The Hall of Fame ceremony often provides the opportunity for bands to reunite. "If [the Faces] are all available, I'll definitely make myself available," Rod Stewart told Rolling Stone magazine on Wednesday. "[Ronnie Wood] and I talked about it and we're over the moon. I'm in as a solo artist and now as a group member, and he being a Stone and a Face." Although keyboardist Ian McLagan expressed some consternation that the Small Faces and the Faces were "lumped together", "it's a damn big deal," he said. "With the Chili Peppers, Guns N' Roses and the Faces … Look out, there's going to be some room-wrecking."
The biggest question remains over the reconciliation of Axl Rose, Slash and the original Guns N' Roses lineup, whose feud has lasted almost two decades. "There's really no guessing exactly how it will go," Slash told Billboard last month. "It's up in the air," Rose told Rolling Stone. When drummer Steven Adler was asked about a reunionon Wednesday, he seemed less ambiguous: "Unfortunately, I don't foresee it," he said. "You figure that time could heal all wounds, but some people just REALLY hold a crazy grudge."
News of the Hall of Fame inductions will have been received with even less enthusiasm by the Cure, who go empty-handed following their first nomination. There is also disappointment for Eric B and Rakim, Heart, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, the Spinners, War, Rufus with Chaka Khan, and Donna Summer, forever the bridesmaid, who has missed out on the honour four the fourth time. "With the Cure not being inducted into [Hall], Robert Smith is going to be gloomy," wrote one Twitter user. "Oh, wait."
The 27th annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony will take place on 14 April 2012 in Cleveland, Ohio.

A photographic report of a study trip, organised by Walailak University in Nakhorn Sri Thammarat, Thailand, in February 2011 is now online on the SEACOM homepage (click on "Exhibitions" under "Culture").
The purpose of the trip was to explore old settlements of Siamese (Thai) people in Malaysia, particularly in the provinces of Kelantan and Kedah. We also met residents living in these communities and had the opportunity to interview them and to participate in their daily lives.
The second part of the photo report also contains links to academic research materials related to the topic of Siamese settlements in Malaysia.
