This week, close to 50,000 people from the world of sustainable development are descending on Rio de Janeiro for the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development.
On Monday and Tuesday 18 and 19 June, hundreds of side events, breakfasts, workshops and dinners are taking place in the hotels and conference centres across Rio.
Experts, scientists, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and business leaders are discussing the full spectrum of sustainable development issues and ideas, from energy to water, food security and green jobs.
From 20 to 22 June, government representatives will arrive in Rio in full force – more than 130 heads of state, ministers and special advisers will discuss the UN document "The Future We Want", a global vision of how to achieve sustainable development for the coming decades.
Chairing this multi-governmental discussion will be the official hosts of the meeting, the Brazilian Minister of External Affairs, Antonio Patriota, and the Brazilian Minister of Environment, Izabella Texeira.
Much of the action will take place in the RioCentro, a large conference hall complex just outside Rio.
The Small Island States, the nations most threatened by rising sea levels, will be hoping to focus the conference's attention on the legal, social and economic implications of their territories literally disappearing beneath the waves. For them, this is no mere talking shop; it is matter of life and death.
These discussions are about much more than climate change and other environmental pressures. We live in a world where 900 million people are hungry and malnourished; where close to 1.5 billion people lack access to clean water or electricity; where 60% of workers have no secure employment contract; and where 75% of humanity has no social protection at all. We need 200 million new jobs to be created today and half a billion new jobs over the next decade.
Sustainable development is about addressing these interlinked social, economic and environmental challenges.
The core theme of the Rio+20 Conference is "Greening the Economy in the Context of Sustainable Development and Poverty Eradication". But it will not be an easy task for governments to fill "The Future We Want" document with a bold, comprehensive vision of how we can do this in today's economically straitened times.
As of 7 June, just 70 paragraphs out of 329 had been agreed. Earlier this week, negotiators from developing countries walked out of a meeting on financing for sustainable development. They propose a US$ 40 billion fund to help poorer nations make the move to greener economies. But industrialized nations, crippled by the current economic crisis, do not want to commit such a large amount.
Sunday night's opening ceremony included the participation of Sha Zukang, Undersecretary-General, Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA), United Nations, who oversaw the original 1992 Earth Summit; Maurice Strong, previously Undersecretary-General and Special Adviser to the Secretary-General of the United Nations; and the ministerial co-chairs from Brazil.
Maurice Strong was downbeat, warning that he didn't see much to celebrate, given that the environmental situation had actually deteriorated since 1992. Inequality has increased and many countries have failed to meet their obligations. "We know what to do, we just haven't done it," he said, earning a standing ovation from the participants in the room.
But even if politicians find it difficult to reach agreement, hope springs from the transformational collaborations being formed by NGOs, scientific networks, businesses, cities and civic organizations.
On Sunday, the Guardian newspaper's sustainable business editor wrote from Rio:
"While the politicians are finding it difficult to find common ground, we are elsewhere witnessing the movement… to multi-dimensional collaborations. This is probably one of the most exciting developments we are likely to see coming out of Rio+20 and will offer the first tantalizing evidence of the ability to start taking projects to scale."

Westminster is facing calls for more support to be given to the North Sea oil and gas industry.
In the Budget, Chancellor Philip Hammond said a group of experts would be put together to discuss further tax incentives.
At the SNP Spring Conference in Aberdeen on Friday, Aberdeenshire East MSP Gillian Martin will urge more action from the UK Government.
Ms Martin will tell delegates that since the loss of more than 120,000 jobs during the past two years, the oil and gas industry is in "serious danger" of being forced to abandon exploration plans which will keep the sector "viable" when the oil price evens out.
She's expected to warn that if action is not taken now by Westminster, the whole of Scotland will suffer.
Scots Energy Minister Paul Wheelhouse will second a motion calling for more support for the sector.

At LUBEC 2013 (Lucca Cultural Heritage, www.lubec.it) MaketTank joined the workshop "Italy Wonderland. The new museum bookshop between craftsmanship and technologies" to show how digital manufacturing and open hardware could help Italian museums in creating a self-produced, low-cost, customized and contemporary merchandising. The workshop was born exactly from the idea that we need to start new Made in Italy projects for "a different model of the bookshop where the merchandise will establish itself as a vehicle for the dissemination of our cultural identity".
At MakeTank we like to create contamination between traditional Crafts and Design with Open Hardware and Digital Fabrication - like the made in Tuscany leather case for the hyper-technological Leap Motion, which has been purchased even by one of its inventors - and our ecosystem is made of sharing, experimentation and crowdfunding. That's (also) why, speaking about museum artshops and bookshops, we proposed some examples of possible innovative ideas for visitors and tourists.
Mariano Zisa used 3D printing to replicate the facades of the baroque churches of Scicli (Sicily): their 3D models were made from photometric images, carefully designing every detail. Then, facades are produced in scale sending their files to a 3D printing service that, after 10 days, sends back the results. After some tests, Mariano chose ceramic as printing material but also reproduced the facades of the church of Santa Maria La Nova in chocolate. Our architectural heritage would let us decline indefinitely this simple idea.
Also from Sicily comes the Tisky Tosky project, by Marcella Pizzuto. Starting from the front photos of the main monuments of Palermo (Politeama Theatre, Cathedral, Teatro Massimo, etc.), she designed their outline and then printed them in 3D at the FabLab Palermo. Not satisfied, she also developed an application, based on Arduino, able to pick up the weather in Palermo and make it visible through a matrix (yellow sun, gray cloud, etc.) placed in a plexiglas box next to the model. Tisky Tosky becomes an interactive souvenir to always show what the weather is in Palermo, wherever you are.
Speaking of MakeTank itself, it's worth mentioning what Zeno Pacciani is doing with his cardboard skylines of major Italian cities (the first series is on Florence, his hometown). The skylines trigger the imagination and educate children in the beauty of Italy (you can play a game to try and recognize the sights and learn their history). They are manufactured at a low cost and customizable (colors, designs, etc..). A very popular product for American tourists, who have purchased it by the dozen on MakeTank, but also for people from Berlin and London, and even from Florence.
Another example in which I have personally come across is the Loft Market of the Powerscourt Center in Dublin. It is a store that combines different corners of Irish craftsmen, designers and artists who rotate over time giving an idea of the local creative scene. It is a place where to find a truly unique object, always different, in a prestigious shopping center where individual designers and artists could never afford to have their own space. We could do the same inside the store of Italian museums: creative people, artisans and designers are not lacking!
Vitra Museum is very interesting, too: the historic Swiss design furniture company Museum offers more than 20 years of history of furniture through 'official' miniatures (armchairs, chairs, chaise lounges, etc..). This collection includes over 100 pieces of original scale replicas with every detail and today not only the original furniture, but also the Vitra miniatures have become a cult favorite among passionate interior designers. And it's better if we make "official" things like those miniatures, because - as much as we are aware of it or not - on Shapeways you can find the "unofficial" version of anything (for Vitra, a plastic reproduction of the legendary Eames chair on sale for only $ 18 instead of more than 500 euros for the official miniature in plywood, aluminum and leather).
How can we find new talents to create a new generation of merchandising? Through design contests! Recently, as we wrote here, one of our vendors won the Special Prize of Ministry of Culture (Ministry of Heritage and Cultural Activities) in the DAB - Design for Artshop and Bookshop contest with its City Stencil. A contemporary object, self-produced at low cost and made of materials that can be used in contact with food (poplar and plexiglas), which evokes the Italian gastronomic culture (cappuccino) and the peculiar elements of art cities. The original souvenir is now on sale at the Museo Enzo Ferrari in Modena.
And then, starting from what they did in Tokyo with the FabCafè (we wrote about it here), why not give way to the tourists and visitors to customize the template of an object that is already available at the Museum with a plotter or a 3D printer available in the store?
These are some of our ideas, with the ultimate question: what should we do nowadays to propose a really different bookshop model, where the merchandise will become one of the pillars of museums' economy? With public funding becoming less and less important, high quality merchandising could allow Museums Italian to be self-sustaining creating 'cult' art and design objects. This is already happening in many museums in the world (think of MOMA or Guggenheim in New York): they have their physical stores, of course, but also online stores where tourists can always purchase new objects from the comfort of their homes. All this is already possible now!

Zero Punctuation: Saboteur
Pages 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 NEXT
This week, Zero Punctuation reviews Saboteur.
Personally I thought the pretentious artwork was a bit asinine. This had potential but was all round a tad too gimmicky.
I would say it was attempting to recapture the 'wonder' of Red Faction with it's destruction mechanic, but that's placing 'wonder' in the same sentence of RF is a bit of an oxymoron.
man I wanted silent hill shattered memories :(
Another good review
Oh they're always after me Lucky Charms!
Decent review this time around, though I never had any interest in getting this game anyway. Though I do wonder why Yahtzee didn't touch on the ridiculious news about the free boobs DLC. Sounds like something he'd enjoy mocking.
If only the Boobs DLC also gave the cabaret girls triple cunts.
EDIT: Oh yeah, and what you said about the Irish is completely true and humorous.
Haha, "Everyone...that is, Americans"
Now you're learning.
I was expecting Shattered Memories too but whatever. Won't be touching this game in a hurry.
good episode hope u had a good holiday
Wasn't planning on buying this game.
what you said about the irish is very offensive man, you show your british colours with this you fucking english cunt
Good review, I'm sad to here that panademic studios has gone the way of the dodo, I liked this one and hoped a second one would be coming along soon since its a rather open ending
Overall it takes things from Assassin's Creed,InFamous and Red fraction
its a jack of all trades but master of none-Yahtzee uncharted 1 review
panademic studios RIP
Another great episode.
Wow, just woke, up, not a bad review. I guess my initial decision was correct, don't buy it, it looks boring.
Except, Yahtzee is Australian.
Pretty much what I expected. I got Assassin's Creed 2 for Christmas so I guess I will skip this game.
He didn't mention that there are tits in it.
He said recently that he won't be getting his hands on it until February.
OT: Good review, I was never that interested in the game to begin with. I have barely played any WWII games anyway, I never found any interest in them.
I think I can understand why developers would make games with Nazi villians. It's because they want the threats to seem real and no real life villianous group has been more evil that the nazis. Also bonus points are awarded if you make the nazis sympathetic I guess.
As a half-Frenchman, half-Brit, I must strongly take offence with this review and will never be watching another...oh, who the hell am I kidding? Good review as always, although personally I stay away from WW2 games (and really war games in general) like the plague anyway.
No, he is British, but moved to Australia.
wrong Yahtzee is a British born man but lives in Australia
Now that's a game I'd buy: beat up Nazi's with Guitar Hero controllers. Maybe even the full Rock Band peripheral party! Maybe even singing Nazi's to death.
Everything seems like a lesser piece of something great before these days.
Oh and happy new year I suppose as well.
WooHoo, says my zero punctuation t shirt.
Like (Y)
was expecting a massive rip into shattered memories, but ho hum
Nothing with that review I disagree with. It is a menage a trois of different games all slapped together with sticky paste. At least I hope its sticky paste..
Oh puns how I hate thee.
Personally I wasn't bothered much by the art style. Good review nonetheless.
So far I have only run over two civilians, and that was in germany running from the Gestapo.
Pandemic, go back to making licensed Battlefield ripoffs.
"Distracted by thoughts of Guiness"... brilliant! I saw a gameplay video of the first 10 minutes of the game, and wondered why you had to keep pounding A to climb a building. Seemed off.
You know, originality and quality are two very separate things.
I am currently enjoying this game, but I can agree with everything Yahtzee said.

Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game was the first licensed roleplaying game set in the Star Wars universe. It was published by West End Games from 1987 until they lost the license in 1998.
One player is the gamemaster who runs the gameworld, being something like the director and referee, while the other players have a single character or role to play. The player characters have various skills and equipment and some can even use the Force.
Three versions of the main rulebook were published: first edition, second edition, and "Revised and Expanded" second edition. All three were based on West End Games' "D6" system.
The West End Games sourcebook collection is made of almost 100 books—not including second editions and compilations—plus 15 quarterly magazine issues under the title Star Wars Adventure Journal. They also edited several books related, but not belonging to the Roleplaying Game line, including Star Warriors, the board games Escape from Death Star and Assault on Hoth; the two-player game Lightsaber Dueling, the Introductory Adventure Game, Star Wars Miniatures Battles, the Live Action Adventures and single-player adventure books.
The material produced by West End Games was one of the major sources of Expanded Universe material before the publication of Heir to the Empire in 1991 sparked new interest in Star Wars publications. Being one of the first sources giving numbers and data to the universe shown in the films, several of the statements given by the sourcebooks have been retconned or corrected to better reflect the films and Expanded Universe fiction. Among the best known corrections are the continuity issues involving the Super Star Destroyers and the "discovery" of the Mon Calamari by the Galactic Empire.
When Timothy Zahn was hired to write what became the Thrawn trilogy, he was sent a box of West End Games Star Wars books and directed to base his novel on the background material presented within. After the novel trilogy's success, West End Games created a series of sourcebooks inspired by Zahn's work.
In 1999, West End Games lost the Star Wars RPG license. The new licensee, Wizards of the Coast, began production of a new roleplaying game using their "D20" system. As for West End Games, in 2004 they started publishing D6 Space, a generic space opera game system based on the former Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game, but not including specific Star Wars content.
In the early 1990s, before the advent of the modern Internet, the FidoNet Star Wars Echo ran a message forum for playing the West End Games Star Wars Roleplaying Game on-line on BBS.

The Astros also have been told that over 100 flights on regional jets have been canceled up the New Jersey Turnpike at Newark's Liberty Airport.
Okay, can I take this to mean that the Astros are flying by regional jets? You know, those planes where any person over five feet tall has no leg room?
Did Drayton spend so much money on Carlos Lee that he's now forcing the team to fly on puddle jumpers? He can't afford to charter a jumbo? Or even a 737?
Wow. I guess that baseball really does have money problems. I'm sorry, Drayton. I promise, the next time I go to Minute Maid, I'll buy a program, a couple of hot dogs and a beer. That should cost about a hundred bucks. Maybe that'll help defray the costs a little. – John Royal

Panfeng Feng
At 7 months old Panfeng contracted polio. He grew up living and studying in a special school run by the local government, providing disabled children with cultural education, skills training and rehabilitation.
In March 2000 the course of Panfeng's life changed when his school was visited by a group of Paralympic athletes and he was introduced to table tennis.
Their skill, gold medals and pride in wearing the colours of their national team inspired him.
The school was poorly equipped. The table tennis tables were housed in a shed where temperature reached 40℃ in the summer and in the winter the cold aggravated Panfeng's polio and he suffered from chilblains on his hands and feet.
This didn't deter Panfeng. His skill and determination soon caught the attention of a coach, and when Beijing was named as the host city for the 2008 Paralympic Games Panfeng's dream of following in the foot steps of the athletes who had visited his school started to become a reality.
Panfeng went on to win a gold in the singles and bronze in the team event in Beijing.
At the London 2012 Paralympic Games he achieved a first for Chinese men's table tennis when he won gold in both the singles and team event, a feat he repeated at the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games.

The family table: fussy eaters
Categories: Expert guidance
In this series, Nicole Pisani, formerly of Nopi and now a school chef at Gayhurst Community School in Hackney, answers food questions asked by parents and offers a family-friendly recipe to try out
Dear Nicole, one of my children loves veg and the other won't touch it. Any ideas for help with fussy eating?
Give peas a chance!
I believe that without being able to see the funny side of my job, I would have lost my mind by now. Children at school will in unison love broccoli on Monday, but then Tuesday arrives and all bets are off—we couldn't pay them with ice cream to go anywhere near broccoli.
I have realised that what counts most with young children is their willingness to just try things out—that is the part we praise. What seems to make the biggest difference to this willingness is knowing where food comes from, and whenever possible seeing things growing and being pulled out of the soil. This is what stops vegetables from being the ugly green monster at the dinner table.
Shared experience
Lucy Cooke is a good friend and child feeding specialist. She works at Great Ormond Street and has helped us out at school with parent and child tasting sessions. She always reminds me that "no child will voluntarily starve themselves", which takes a lot of the pressure out of worrying about fussy eating. Lucy stresses instead the importance of meals being a time to nurture relationships and make food a sharing family experience rather than a battle of wills.
I remember vividly from my own childhood crying for what seemed like a whole afternoon into the evening because I was told I had to finish what was on my plate before I went to play with my friends. Maybe it is something many children experience, but I'm not sure it does anything to improve our relationship with food.
My advice with veg
—It needs to be cooked in a way that you would enjoy eating. In other words, nobody likes over-boiled vegetables. I tell parents, "If you are not going to eat it yourself, why should your children?"
—Try simple veg like peas and broccoli just lightly steamed or blanched. Children seem to be more averse to 'squishy' textures, as I have discovered when trying to serve aubergine at school.
—Make vegetables exciting, and balance the flavours. For example, I have found the vast majority of the children at school enjoy sweetcorn, especially on the cob, with a little ginger butter. Roasting carrots with mild spices is popular and they seem to love anchovies blitzed into olive oil as a dressing for steamed broccoli.
—Try different shapes and textures and let your children say which they like—for example, cooked peppers over raw peppers. Raw peppers always win at school and they seem much happier with carrot sticks versus circles.
—Last but not least, have loads of patience and do not give up. Try to make all of this fun—and do it with a smile.
Good luck!

Category Archives for "Quick Breakfasts"
Since I started on a Zero Carb diet, some mornings I've been getting into the bad habit of drinking broth with some gelatin in it. Don't get me wrong, bone broth and gelatin are great for me, but not as a meal replacement. I want to practice actually eating when I'm hungry and giving my body the nutrition it needs, not displacing my hunger and becoming a ravenous tiger at lunchtime or dinner.
I also wanted to find a quick, easy breakfast that I could take with me on the run. Also sometimes I just don't want to eat solid meat in the morning, but I do want to eat, and I'm limiting the amount of eggs I consume. I came up with a GREAT alternative, zero carb, keto quick meal, "protein shake"!
The longer I'm on a Paleo Ketogenic "keto" diet, the more I'm realizing that I personally need to eat at least 75-80% fat a day to feel 'optimal'. This takes some adjusting if you're not used to it! So I thought I'd share my personal favorite fatty breakfast, which is 75% fat, delicious and helps keep me going throughout the day. My brain LOVES it when I eat this.
How can one go wrong with deep fried cheese wrapped in bacon? Read on for a gluten free, primal, low carb and keto version of the classic mozzarella sticks…
Who knew low carb could be this good? I made this low carb breakfast sandwich with my recipe for egg cups and the recipe below for the 'bun / biscuit'. Satisfying and great ratio of fat to protein, plus with some fiber! There was even a bit of crispiness in there.
The secret to making these biscuits is using a good pan. I use this pan from USA Pans, which is a commercial baking, heavy pan. After using it a dozen times, the pan still looks brand new. I just put the batter for these buns straight in the pan, no spraying of any oil or anything. I also use it for the egg cups so that they fit the buns perfectly! BUT if you don't have one of these pans, the biscuits will still taste great, just be sure to grease your pan.
Eggnog makes a quick and tasty breakfast, and if you have a milk allergy, you can also make it dairy/casein free with coconut milk tonic! This recipe has really been hitting the spot for me this week and is very satisfying.
Makes 1 serving
1 1/2 cups raw whole milk (if you can get it) or coconut milk (full fat)
2 egg yolks from pastured eggs
1-2 teaspoons grade B maple syrup –OR– a pinch of stevia
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
pinch of nutmeg
Shake up all ingredients in a shaker cup and enjoy! Gently heat if you wish too.

Believing in yourself is probably one of the hardest things to do when you have no reason to, especially when all you see is nothing but someone who has lost all hope or value, someone who isn't really looked at when they walk by on the street, someone who as time passes by nobody notices. How can you believe in yourself when nobody does, how ?
Deep within yourself you can't figure out something, something you see that is worth you having thoughts of believing you could be something other than a failure. I want to share this story with you guys. This story is about a boy who's never once had any reason to believe in himself nor believe in believing that one day he could be something. This boy was always different from the rest but he never really had a reason to believe in himself, so because all he has ever gone through have been a constant wave of downfalls from an awfully young age. He began to wander the streets looking for hope as that was the only time he had to reflect on himself. He always questioned " Will i ever be something more than this " something more than this boy who has nothing positive going for himself. He wanted perfection, he strived for it, though accepting that there wasn't anything "perfect" about him. Taking into account every negative thing in his past, kept a positive state of mind. As this boy got older he always remembered where he had come from, as time went by the past began to fade although he still remembered the hard times. I will pause that story there.
Believing is something that starts from within, how can someone believe in you when you don't even believe in yourself – question that! You have got to start with you, if you want to be heard & seen it all starts with YOU. Believe in what you see within yourself, believe in what you hear from within yourself. All of those things will give you comfort and within yourself you will automatically believe that whatever is out there is within your reach regardless of the circumstances. Everything starts from you. I recommend you read the article Law Of Attraction, it talks about the importance of self belief. There may be days where you lack inner belief because the burdens of life get on top of you, that doesn't mean you lose belief in yourself. Always remember hope is bigger than fear, fear is a mental state which can be tackled by hope & belief.
"Because one believes in oneself, one doesn't try to convince others. Because one is content with oneself, one doesn't need others approval. Because one accepts oneself, the whole world accepts him or her." – Lao Tzu

Minnesota and Wisconsin students continue to shine on the ACT college entrance exam, according to results reported Wednesday.
For a ninth consecutive year, Minnesota students posted the highest average composite score among students in states in which at least half of the graduates took the test. In the Duluth school district, students matched the state average. Wisconsin students again posted the nation's second-highest average.
Minnesota's average mark - 22.9 out of a possible 36 - was down slightly from the 23.0 posted in 2013. Duluth also matched the slight drop. But this year's graduates also finished atop another national measure: the percentage of students deemed college-ready in each of the four subject areas tested.
This year, 39 percent of state graduates tested as proficient across the board on the ACT exam. That was identical to 2013 and 5 percentage points more than the 34 percent of students who achieved across-the-board success in second-ranked Wisconsin, the results show.
Duluth students tested slightly lower than Minnesota's average for college readiness, at 37 percent.
"I congratulate Minnesota students, teachers and administrators on this tremendous accomplishment," Gov. Mark Dayton said in a statement. "These nation-leading scores demonstrate to the entire country the academic ability of Minnesota students, the dedication of our teachers and the world-class quality of our education system."
Complicating matters, however, at least as it relates to state-by-state comparisons, is the fact that not every senior in every state takes the test.
In Minnesota, for example, 76 percent of graduates, or 45,305 students, were tested in 2013-14, up from 74 percent a year ago. But 12 states, including Michigan, Illinois and Tennessee, now require all seniors to take the ACT, meaning their composite scores reflect the performance of non-college-bound students, too. In Wisconsin, 73 percent of graduates took the ACT exam, and posted an average composite score of 22.2. In Duluth, 402 students took the test last year, down from 469 in 2013.
Minnesota, which soon will begin requiring all juniors to take the test, has seen considerable success at the individual level. Earlier this year, a Star Tribune survey found that more than 20 seniors and juniors who still were in school had aced the ACT. The number of so-called "36'ers" then grew in subsequent testing rounds.
But the state also is seeing a stubborn gap between white and minority test takers.
According to the results released Wednesday, 62 percent of the state's white students reached the minimum college-readiness benchmarks in at least three of the four subjects tested, up from 61 percent in 2013. Black students who met the same standard also rose slightly, from 16 percent in 2013 to 17 percent this year, with the gap between them and white students remaining unchanged.
Gaps widened between white and Asian, Hispanic and American Indian students.
With the exception of Asian students, each of the state's student subgroups outperformed their national counterparts.
For the ACT, students are tested in the areas of English, math, reading and science. Students are deemed college-ready in a given area if they reach the minimum score needed to indicate a 50 percent chance of earning at least a B and a 75 percent chance of obtaining at least a C in a college class.
In Minnesota, 77 percent of students tested hit the college-readiness benchmark for English, followed by 61 percent for math, 56 percent for reading and 53 percent for science. In Wisconsin, the corresponding figures were: 75 percent for English, 54 percent for math, 51 percent for reading and 49 percent for science.
For Duluth school district students who took the test, 81 percent met the benchmark for English, 60 percent for math, 59 percent for reading and 50 percent for science.
In 2014-15, all Minnesota juniors will begin taking the ACT, free of charge, under new graduation requirements approved by the 2013 Legislature. State officials say the move should help steer more students to post-secondary opportunities and also aid in determining whether students are college- and career-ready.
"Having all high school students take the ACT will help them understand how well they are prepared for a post-secondary education that fits their needs and interests," said Larry Pogemiller, commissioner of the state Office of Higher Education.
News Tribune staff writer Jana Hollingsworth contributed to this report.

Project Prep
Have you ever had good intentions for a project, only to find out you didn't calculate everything very well? Maybe you weren't able to finish it on time or it came out over budget.
We can learn a lot from how Nehemiah approached his project, Operation Rebuild Jerusalem. He succeeded in his venture by doing four things: conversing with the king, coordinating the details, canvassing the job site, and contending with difficulty.
First, he conversed with the king (see Nehemiah 2:1-5). Four months had passed between chapter 1 and 2, meaning Nehemiah had plenty of time not just to pray and prepare for this conversation with Artaxerxes, but also for the job ahead. And he let the king know that: he humbly, tactfully, and respectfully asked for permission to leave his job as cupbearer and help rebuild Jerusalem. His burden that began with weeping in chapter 1 had developed into a full-on calling. He knew he was the guy for the job.
So Nehemiah began to coordinate the much-needed details with the king (see Nehemiah 2:6-9). He set a time frame, got permits for traveling and building, and put together supplies. I think there are three reasons why Nehemiah received these requests: Number one, godly prayer (see v. 4). Number two, God's partner. It's thought that the queen mentioned in verse 6 was the only daughter of Queen Esther and believed in the Hebrew God. Do you think she had any influence in making sure all of Nehemiah's needs were met? You bet. And number three was God's providence. Anything can be done when the good hand of God is upon you (see v. 8).
Next, Nehemiah went and canvassed the job site: Jerusalem (see Nehemiah 2:11-16). If the news of Jerusalem had brought tears to his eyes, imagine what it was like seeing it in person. But great works begin when we walk through the nighttime of sorrow and our hearts are broken by Gethsemane's darkness. When Nehemiah returned, he rallied the people together to begin building, and they said, "'Let us rise up and build.' Then they set their hands to this good work" (v. 18).
And right off the bat, Nehemiah had to contend with difficulty, which came in the form of three men: Sanballat, Tobiah, and Geshem. These men used the weapons of ridicule and doubt to try to stop Nehemiah's efforts (see Nehemiah 2:19)—but just read his response: "The God of heaven Himself will prosper us; therefore we His servants will arise and build, but you have no heritage or right or memorial in Jerusalem" (v. 20).
He didn't attempt to negotiate; after all, if you play tug-of-war with your enemy long enough, someone's going to get pulled down into the mud. So he simply let go of the rope. And guess what? God took hold of it. But more on that next time.
Take some time to examine your heart: What projects do you need to turn over to the Lord today? How are you trusting Him with your plans and desires?

Ways to Stay Cool With This Air Conditioning Maintenance Tips
Burning your cooling unit day in and day out during the summer can really take its toll in your own unit. To prolong the life of your unit, it's a good idea to call a pro for air-conditioning maintenance.

The majority of the frequent problem with the ac unit is that typically it blows hot air through the summer. This is typical as a result of refrigerant leakage which caused due to an improper refilling of coolant in the tank. Typically, people start fixing the problems for the purpose of saving money with no much experience with the air conditioner Canada. It's always preferable to call a specialist in one of the reputed company to fix the issue.

One of the greatest reasons to find air conditioning care is to have a pro have a look at your device and see whether there's something incorrect. You may realize that your unit is simply not getting as trendy as it did. The problem that is causing this may vary. So rather than ignoring it, it's best to permit an expert to have a look and be sure everything's on the up and up.

When you get air-conditioning maintenance, you are essentially saving yourself lots of cash. That is because, if you let a professional to take a look at your device, they are able to inform you whether you want to tackle a problem, or just replace the device. If you don't have a pro look at this, what could have been a small issue to fix, could become a bigger problem as time passes. This might have been prevented with a good inspection. So make sure you save your self the hassle as well as cash, and make sure you receive your unit checked on a regular basis.
Suitable setup
If for some reason you find out you need to find a brand new unit after air conditioning maintenance, having a professional install it is the very best thing you might do. Even though you might be pretty handy, you will fare a great deal better by using this complicated process to an expert. You may spend a great chunk of money on replacing your unit, so it's prudent to leave the setup to a pro. This way, you will know it is done correctly.
Clean filters
Another terrific reason to find air-conditioning maintenance is a very simple fact that the expert who comes out can actually clean all of your filters and ducts. Using this method, you can experience cleaner better air throughout your premises. And for people that suffer from allergies, this may be a huge advantage for them. This job can initially appear minor, yet every time a specialist comes out to inspect your unit, he or she may find other issues which need to be dealt with. As a result, it is in your best interest to permit an expert to wash your filters and manage any other problem that may pop up.
A dirty air filter another major thing which should be kept regularly in order to maintain the healthy and hearty atmosphere in your home. A clogged filter leaves your unit to work harder to offer to cool and leaves opportunities for the tear and wear. While cleansing air filter is certain you also wash the grills and vents correctly so that you get a proper cooling. And in case you've got an external unit, make sure that there should be no leaves or any other items blocking the air conditioning unit.
If you've got an air conditioner that's becoming really cold then there must be some problem with your cooling coil or coil isn't set properly. Always maintain the thermostat's temperature at the room temperature. One reason for this is maybe little refrigerant left on your ac unit which may be topped up readily. If you're consistently facing the issue with air conditioner then it is the ideal time to phone AC Canada specialist to deal with the repair and maintenance services. These technicians will easily fix the problems and force you to understand how to keep up the ac unit. Visit the HVAC experts at http://www.hoggmechanical.com/locations/kitchener/

The sun is beating down and the seasons are changing; soon fickle spring will become rockstar summer. It's now the time of year when you need to become cool (both literally and metaphorically), and lucky for you, we're here to help with our Guide to Becoming Cool (and attracting the cutest babes).
STEP ONE: You need to have a place of your own to be cool in. For maximum cool points, this is a place of your own; however, having some equally cool room mates is acceptable. We will also accept those of you who might still live at home but have domain over a room, basement, attic that can be cooled out to sustain your rockstar lifestyle. Unacceptable are those of you who are mooching and living on your friend's lame hand-me-down-from-grandma couch. If that applies to you, please reassess your situation at once.
STEP TWO: Sac out your pad! You need at least one Sac, sized City or larger (and mega ultra points for the BigOne), and a decent Sactional set up. Let's say, at least our 2 Base, 4 Side LoveSeat Sactional set up. Then you have enough for you and a few friends! Keep in mind that covers are always a good idea to keep your cool lasting longer: nothing says lame more than stained furniture. All our covers are machine washable!
STEP THREE: Get in ideal summer condition. Keep in mind, this doesn't mean we're promoting six pack abs and bulging biceps. If you're happy with your body, that's pretty cool already. But if you're not, feel free to do the work out all LoveSac staff practices: The Sac fluff/Sactional arrangement rally. It's easier than it sounds: simply keep your Sac well fluffed (using full rotation fluffing) at ALL TIMES and make sure that you rearrange your Sactional daily. It may not seem like a lot, but trust us, it's enough to get your blood pumping! And for those of you worried about getting a summer tan? Spare your skin and simply invest in a light cover. We recommend Eskimo Phur: unless you're pale as a polar bear, it's almost white color will make anyone look tan.
STEP FOUR: Become an excellent entertainer. This means having a great music selection with a little something for everyone- check out our summer playlist for ideas – and always having something to offer. This can be drinks, food, boardgames, or a cleverly organized dance off/four square competition. Personally, I like to provide food, seeing as how when I'm not slinging Sacs or at school, I'm in the kitchen. It's important when cooking for guests that your food be unique, but still safe, and that almost everyone can eat it. As a vegetarian dating a carnivorous picky-eater, I can attest to this sometimes being a difficult task. For maximum cool, I recommend something like Fat Free Vegan Kitchen's Peach Upside Down Cake. Not only is it delicious and easy, but we think the colors would really pop if eaten on a Taupe or Chocolate Rhino Phur cover.
STEP FIVE: Wait for the cute babes. Like the one pictured! Hey now – what kind of babes did you think we were talking about?

As everyone who lives in a heavily college-age populated city (or just a city where most people rent instead of own) April through August is Moving Season. People are changing room mates, moving to bigger spaces, smaller spaces, and newer spaces. With all of this moving comes the treasure trove of abandoned furniture left outside of houses; some is left because it's broken or quite simply junk, some is not needed anymore, and some, quite sadly, must be abandoned because it quite simply has no way to be transported from one residence to another.
Here at LoveSac, we want to make sure that you never have to abandon our furniture curb-side. Our Sactionals are quite potentially the most mover-friendly couches every invented, with each one breaking into just two units: bases and sides that make up everything. And when you break them up that small, they're not even heavy! You can even fear not if your dream Sactional plan for one house is too big for your newest space; with our room planner tool you can practice moving around your pieces into a setup that is sure to work in your new living room. And if all else fails – there's just that one extra piece you don't know what to do with – they do store easily. Maybe you could even find a secondary use for it; we here at Mayfair imagine you could work an extra side or base frame into Design Sponge's DIY Book-strap Side Table in lieu of a row of books. Or get extra creative and use a full base as bench-style dining room seating.
As for the Sacs, you're asking? Well, as shown in this picture sent to us by a sister LoveSac store, Sacs stuff very easily. That, my friends, is a fully fluffed SuperSac shoved into a Nissan. If you're not much of a stuffer, we also sell Sport Utility Covers (SUC's for short) which are thick vinyl covers with straps and handles (perfect for taking Sacs outdoors!) that, when pulled and pushed on, will condense your most comfortable of furniture to a third of its size. For moves that aren't just a few blocks a way and are really tight on available space, try a Ship Kit; with the help of Shop Vac, it will bring your Sac down to roughly half of its size. Should you be lucky enough to have a truck that can accommodate a Sac with no extra help, be sure to secure your load, lest you end up like this guy.
So there you have it, our two cents on the best way to move a Sac. Think you have a better way? Or a hilarious moving story? Better yet – a ridiculous picture? Or maybe you have a solution for what to do with a Sac or Sactional piece that you can't use quite at the moment? Send us your best shot to either firstname.lastname@example.com or leave it in a comment!

Finally, Milwaukee can be California Dreamin' for a reason other than weather envy; today marks the opening of a LoveSac store in the Bay Area. Santa Clara at Valley Fair mall, to be more precise. For those of you who might remember our store opening about five years ago, you can remember that store openings are always, without fail, a good time. There are bumpin' tunes, tons of people, and our founder and Chief Sac, Shawny D. Not to mention, of course, the huge deals going on throughout the day. At Valley Fair, it's going to be a 75% count down sale! (First person gets 75% off, the next 74%, until we're all the way up to 1%. Hey, a deal is still a deal.)
While we'll be playing with our new Nooder puppies and holding down the fort at Mayfair, any of you reading from a well deserved with vacation or with friends and family in the Bay Area should get over to Valley Fair and check it out. We promise nothing less than a good time!

CafePharma is a forum where reps, past and present hang out and discuss all aspects of the job. It's a free reign to discuss matters that piss them off the most.
An interesting thread was posted inviting readers to discuss what it was like being a rep for GSK between 1984 to the present date.
This is eye-opening. (Grammatical errors have been left in)
I began working in the industry 30 years ago, when it was easy, easy to bribe docs to use your drug, easy to make money, easy to do whatever you wanted to do. The stories I could tell you... For example:I didn't give a shit how smart or stupid a doctor was. I was given a territory that belonged to me in which to sell my product, and within that territory there were smart doctors, there were good doctors, and there were honest doctors, but the ones that I made a much better than average living on were the busy doctors that didn't give two shits about their patients -- and wanted something from me. On the books we all followed the rules; we had usual and appropriate expenses to do our job, but the reality was that we did what we had to do to sell our drug. Thursday was a usual night out for me with Dr. What he lacked in medical knowledge was more than made up for by his street smarts. He knew how to play the game and we did well by each other. He wrote tons of prescriptions and in return I gave him tons of samples that I later learned he sold to patients, and other perks.On paper we were having a round table discussion on some medical topic with a bunch of doctors, but in reality it was a night out with Dr who brought along his brother, his barber, his accountant, and a few of his other buddies. Including. the $1,000 fee for Dr ( for a talk that he, understandably, never gave) the night cost me almost $2,000 dollars -- well worth it because the following week I counted over 30 new prescriptions for my product. Oh I didn't tell you, but most big pharmaceutical companies purchase a list from a company that monitors doctor's prescriptions. It tells them exactly how many prescriptions a doctor writes for each product. If you think this sounds crazy, the next week he told me to go to his favorite restaurant, leave my credit card there , and he would take care of the rest – which he did by running up a tab for another two grand. Dont think for a moment the big shot doctors werent whores too; don't be naive. Some of these assholes are bigger whores than Dr and they make a shit-load more money for their services. I get a call from my manager, Dr a big time professor of Medicine, who was part of the FDA board that approved our drug, is coming to town to give talks to the doctors in the area. At $3,000 dollars a night and another $3,000 to give a talk in the local hospitals each day, this elite doctor can take home $30,000 dollars in a week's time. Hey, Dr just got a thousand bucks once or twice a month and free meals for himself and his buddies.I've taken docs to strip clubs,. Who hasnt? But I found a nice long massage, with happy ending, was far more cost effective, and I enjoyed it much more as well. Again, the people that run these places are not stupid, they accept American Express and the services aren't billed to Mrs. Wong's massage palace. They usually have some kind of restaurant Doing Business As name. Anyway, as you can see. I've got so many I could write about but the one that always comes to mind is the following.
The poster continued with...
I called on one particular doctor for years and I guess we even became friends. It's hard to say what a friend is in this business because every good rep knows that if you get a doctor to like you then the doc is more likely to write scripts. This guy was really weird and claimed to be a general in the military reserve. He was a great customer until about a year ago when he claimed his practice had slowed down, but I learned that day that this married doctor was banging a rep and that that rep was my competition. Not only was he having sex with her, he was writing lots of scripts for her product, paying for her apartment, and the lease on her car.But now he needed me, and sadly, he called one of his only friends (again I still am not sure if I was truly a friend of his or just a savvy salesperson). He needed me to drive him to her house (his seventy-thousand dollar car would be too conspicuous) to see if she was home with someone else. We drove to an area in the Bronx, NY, to an area that was quite intimidating, especially since it was 2:00 A.M., and the few people who were out walked with ataxia from whatever they had smoked or injected or drank that day.She lived on the second floor, just ten feet or so above the sidewalk, her windows barred to discourage unwanted visitors. You could almost see through the window from across the street. He was too afraid to go to the door, as was I, and so he called her number, no one answered. I wanted to go home, to get out of there before some NYC cop arrested us for soliciting drugs or something (who else would be parked at this hour in an Acura) but instead Dr. S opened a small case he had brought with him, and strapped what turned out to be night vision goggles to his head. He claimed it was a gift from an Iraqi general. He called his paramour several more times and watched through his goggles until he saw the image of a man get up and walk to the window. Case Closed. This doctor who cheated his patients, his wife, his children, and even me, was himself a victim.
For me, this sums up the collaboration with GSK and the FDA...
"I get a call from my manager, Dr a big time professor of Medicine, who was part of the FDA board that approved our drug, is coming to town to give talks to the doctors in the area. At $3,000 dollars a night and another $3,000 to give a talk in the local hospitals each day, this elite doctor can take home $30,000 dollars in a week's time."
The whole thread, which can be viewed here, shows how Glaxo reps got doctors to prescribe more of their drugs.
Fascinating stuff.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — The state is switching its lethal injection drug from a scarce anesthetic to one commonly used in surgery as a shortage of the drug normally used for executions has worsened, the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction announced Tuesday.
Beginning in March, the state execution team will use a single, powerful dose of pentobarbital, a drug sometimes used to induce surgical comas. The drug replaces sodium thiopental, which was already scarce when its only U.S. manufacturer announced last week it would no longer produce it.
Hoffman withdrew $1,200 hours before death: sources
Philip Seymour Hoffman withdrew a total of $1,200 from an ATM at a supermarket near his New York City apartment the night before he was found lifeless in his bathroom with a syringe still in his left arm, sources told NBC News.

- Indiana man back home 18 years after abduction
- 32 states in the path of another wild storm
- Judge vows quick ruling on Va. marriage ban
- Hoffman withdrew $1,200 hours before death: sources
Ohio prison officials say the version of pentobarbital the state is adopting is a different type of the drug than one used by veterinarians to euthanize pets.
The prisons department said it will use its remaining supply of sodium thiopental for the scheduled execution Feb. 17 of Frank Spisak, who killed three people at Cleveland State University in 1982.
The first use of pentobarbital is planned for March's scheduled execution of Johnnie Baston of Lucas County, condemned to die for shooting the owner of a Toledo store in the back of the head during a 1994 robbery.
Baston's public defender, Rob Lowe, said he was just learning of the change and could not yet comment.
The switch was not unexpected. Ohio has said for weeks that while it had enough sodium thiopental for the Spisak execution, it would not comment about its supply beyond that.
The state nearly ran out of the drug last spring and almost had to postpone an execution before obtaining some at the last moment.
Ohio has no more executions currently scheduled, but prosecutors have asked the Ohio Supreme Court to set additional dates for 14 men whose appeals are concluded.

"We just don't have any information on that, and I'm not sure anybody does since it's never been used that way," Stebbins said Tuesday.
States across the country have scrambled to find supplies of sodium thiopental after Hospira Inc., of Lake Forest, Ill., the drug's lone U.S. manufacturer, stopped producing it more than a year ago.
Hospira, which produced it for medical purposes and not for executions, announced Friday it would not resume production after authorities in Italy refused to allow its production if the company couldn't guarantee it would not be used for capital punishment.
Hospira said its plant in Italy was the only viable facility where it could be manufactured.
Arizona, Arkansas, California and Tennessee are among states that found a supply of sodium thiopental in England, but that source dried up after the British government banned the drug's export for use in executions.
Earlier this month, Nebraska announced it had obtained 500 grams from a company in India.

friday night is pizza night at our house
it's the best darn tradition we've got
because, well it's pizza. delicious, addicting and fun to make
and if you're like us and have tomatoes coming out your ears
this is quite a delicious way to savor those garden-fresh babies
(or store bought too)
{Pizza Dough}
Whisk 3 3/4 cups flour and 1 1/2 teaspoon salt. Make a well (i stick my 1 cup measuring cup and make a little hole in the center of the flour/salt mixture) and add 1 1/3 cups warm water, 1 tablespoon sugar and 1 packet yeast. When foamy mix in 3 tablespoons of olive oil; knead until smooth, 5 minutes. Brush with olive oil, cover in a bowl and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour 30 minutes.
now this dough recipe is pretty big and easily makes 2 really large pizzas, we usually make 2 smaller ones for the kids and 2 medium-sized ones for the adults. so if 4 adults are eating, perfect. if more, than double the recipe. {recipe found in food network magazine}
{Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza}
3 chicken breasts
about 1 cup crumbled bacon
1-2 large tomatoes
1 medium yellow onion
minced garlic
mozzarella cheese
and here's the kicker...asiago cheese (a little pricey but it lasts thru easily 50 pizzas, no joke)
here's the way we make pizza at our house...
take an old cookie sheet, that is now your pizza "stone", toss it in the oven and preheat to 500 degrees.
throw some flour and cornmeal on your preparation surface and roll out your dough (not too big, it has to fit on a cookie sheet) we like our pizza pretty thin, but if you like thick pizza than go for it. we have a pizza peel, but any type of surface will work, just make sure you can transfer it to the oven. put your dough on a floured surface, pizza peel, and make sure the dough can still slide around. if not, keep putting flour under the dough. and no it doesn't have to be a perfect circle, we always make a funky square shape and it's perfect. now you're ready for your toppings.
cook chicken in olive oil and a little garlic salt, chop tomatoes and onions, set aside. spread ranch on your pizza dough along with your minced garlic. coat evenly and generously. place chicken on ranch and then sprinkle mozzarella cheese across the entire pizza. toss your onions, tomatoes and crumbled bacon across the cheese. and for the best part of the entire pizza...shred some asiago cheese on the very top, this is killer.
now before attempting to transfer the pizza from "peel" to oven, make sure it can still slide around.
toss that beautiful pizza into the oven and about 10 minutes later, when the cheese is golden brown. it's done!
bon appetit

Katie Lou Samuelson scored eight of her 26 points during a key third-quarter run, and No. 1 UConn beat 12th-ranked Ohio State 82-63 on Monday night for the Huskies' 85th consecutive victory.
Napheesa Collier had 27 points and 11 rebounds for the Huskies (10-0), who are five games away from matching their NCAA record 90-game winning streak set from 2008-10.
UConn led by six before opening the second half with a 15-7 spurt. Samuelson hit two 3-pointers during the run. The second made it 55-41.
The Huskies also switched up their defense on Ohio State star Kelsey Mitchell, holding her to four points in the second half after she had 19 at the break.
With Mitchell bottled up, the Buckeyes (9-4) couldn't get within single digits

Indo-American Collaborations :
Primary objectives of collaborating with American Universities having highly advanced knowledge in areas of Pharmaceutical Sciences were related both to students and faculty. The institution provides greater opportunities to its B. Pharm. Students to go to American Universities with possibility of some financial assistance in the form of teaching/Graduate assistantships to gain further knowledge and acquire higher degrees.
For this purpose, a management team which included the Principal Dr. J.K. Lalla visited several universities in November 95 and had preliminary discussions with the Deans of several Universities for possibility of having collaborations. Subsequently, the principal went to USA in 1998 with very specific courses in mind for collaboration, which has almost materialized with Ohio State University and New Mexico University at Albuquerque. The collaborations are also aimed at promoting faculty exchange between KMKCP and American Universities. The third visit by the management team has resulted in signing MOU between these two Universities and the Management, H(S)NCB. The institution continues to guide and assist the students to achieve their aim of going abroad and tries to provide them with the advanced/latest information on the status of Pharmacy courses and new emerging areas.

Many gamers want to play multiple games at once in BlueStacks 3, we'll show you how to do it in a few easy steps:
1. Click on the CREATE option of the Multi-Instance icon in the bottom right of your BlueStacks interface.
2. If you want to open multiple games at once, click the "New Engine but Duplicate the Application."
3. If you want to create a new instance with a different Google Play account, click the "New Engine" option.
4. After you create the Multi-Instance with "New Engine but Duplicate the Application", you will see another emulator operation window with a tab called "Desktop-multi instance1." Click the game inside this window that you want to run in multiple windows.
5. You'll now be able to run multiple games at once, of the same game or different games. We recommend you open only up to 3 windows at once unless your computer has the best graphics cards and CPUs because running multiple games at once can slow down your computer.
6. The next time you open BlueStacks, you'll be able to click the Multi-Instance icon on the bottom right and run your previous created multi-instances right away and start playing multiple games at once.

5. Loss of Appetite
Food aversions are not typically experienced by people who are healthy. On the contrary, patients who have liver cancer say they do not feel hungry. Loss of appetite can be caused by stress. It can be caused by viruses, too. If your loss of appetite is ongoing, it might be a sign of a serious health issue. Check your inner organs and make sure that your metabolism is good. If you have liver cancer, the liver is enlarged. The organ begins to press on the stomach which makes you feel full without eating or after eating an insignificant amount of food. If your appetite is not good enough, you will consume fewer calories. This, in turn, may lead to rapid weight loss.
