14:00-17:30 Afternoon Workshops
Session 1A: 14:00-15:30
Corporate reporting – GRI and stock exchanges
This interactive session hosted by GRI and Nasdaq will offer the opportunity to hear about the latest policy developments on sustainability reporting among capital market players, shed some light on why investors are increasingly looking at ESG data, and give a firsthand update from an exchange's perspective on the work of the Sustainable Stock Exchanges initiative and the Sustainability Working Group of the World Federation of Exchanges. The workshop will give a birds' eye view of how GRI's G4 can help in engaging investors in a dialogue and we'll close with a discussion with the participants on the most pressing questions on corporate transparency and the role of exchanges.
Session 1B: 14:00-15:30
Investor decarbonisation strategies
This workshop hosted by UNEP will focus on the various strategies available to investors to decarbonize their portfolios ranging from divestment to engagement. We will hear from a number of investors in the region who have begun the process and are members of the UN-backed Portfolio Decarbonization Coalition, including AP4 in Sweden (a founding member of the PDC), KLP in Norway and finally Mandatum Life in Finland. The workshop will include a presentation from the 2 Degrees Investing Initiative which will focus on the strategies and metrics available to investors seeking to measure and improve the climate friendliness of their portfolios.
15:30-16:00 Networking Coffee Break
Session 2A: 16:00-17:30
Mainstreaming reporting for climate resilient markets
This workshop, hosted by the Climate Disclosure Standards Board and CDP, will focus on the role of stock exchanges to promote sustainable financial markets through the provision of corporate climate change information to investors. This will be backed the latest corporate climate change analysis of the Nordic markets.
The first part of the session will introduce freshly published CDP analysis on how listed corporations both globally and regionally are already rising to the demands for environmental transparency and performance, and describe how collaborative engagement action by Nordic investors has led to increased corporate disclosure this year.
The second half will then focus on the opportunities for stock exchanges in protecting the climate residence of their markets through providing climate change-related information to markets. The session will provide insights into current reporting trends being implemented by exchanges worldwide and propose adoption-ready climate change reporting requirements.
Session 2B: 16:00-17:30
Translating innovation into value
The aim of the workshop hosted by Trade Info and Fair Impact is to look into what sustainability actually means for companies and investors. How does sustainability relate to innovation, company processes and consumer engagement? Ten types of innovation are distinguished. The Finnish retail company Kesko will share their experiences and show the value of innovation.
17:30-19:00 Networking Reception

Invisible Monsters Remix by Chuck Palahniuk
Genre: Fiction, dark humor, transgender, models, director's cut- AKA author's cut
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars
Summary: After getting her jaw blown off by a stray bullet, our narrator, a former model, goes on a road trip of self-discovery in the Brandy Alexander Witness Reincarnation Project. Led by the the Queen Supreme, transgendered Brandy Alexander, Palahniuk explores the coincidences of life and the desire to break the mold. This newly re-worked edition contains new chapters and a completely new non-linear format.
We've all seen extended edition and director's cuts of movies, but this is the first time I have ever come across an author's cut of a book.
With this hardcover release of Chuck Palahniuk's third published novel (but his first in terms of writing), he took the opportunity to change the linear format that was originally published in 1999 and release it the way he initially envisioned it. The intention was to give the reader the feel of literally getting lost inside the book, as one would be with a Vogue magazine. Which you have to admit is kind of perfect for a novel centered around beauty, perceptions and transformation. Sadly no Madonna songs though.
So how exactly is this achieved? The narrative flips the reader around from chapter to chapter (41, 1, 40, 2, 39, 4, 38, 5, 37, 6, etc.) with the instructions at the end of each chapter to, "Now, Please Jump to Chapter …" So polite. This makes things intriguing, because unlike in a typical book where a dwindling number of pages signals the end is coming, you don't know exactly when Invisible Monsters Remix will reach its climax. And as with the original Invisible Monsters, the narrative itself skips around in time, so you will be well and truly lost in the events while you read.
It's a non-linear format inside a non-linear format, a mirror image. It couldn't be produced as intended initially, but now at least it can be read and enjoyed by Chuck's legion of fans.
One downside to this format, is that you might inadvertently see key bits of information as you flip through from chapter to chapter. This will lead you to wonder exactly how the narrative could lead there, so at least it's not a total spoiler. Think of it as a darker version of How I Met Your Mother, but more akin to, How I Lost My Face.
Page numbers would probably be easier for a reader to navigate from place to place, but I imagine it would be a logistics nightmare in terms of publishing every time the book gets re-released or the format is changed. This way at least is manageable for everyone except a dyslexic like myself, but let's be honest, page numbers would be even more difficult to follow.
While the original novel was published in a straightforward manner to please readers and make it more marketable, this version is Palahniuk's original vision. Due to this, in addition to jumping around from chapter to chapter, there are also additional chapters outside this "straightforward" narrative. Twelve to be exact, split up into three sections which instruct the reader to loop between chapters over and over again. For example chapter 3 to chapter 16 to chapter 30 to chapter 3. Lather, rinse, repeat. Even after you're done with the main story there's even more to discover. We're back to the Vogue magazine idea here.
Most of these side stories deal with the process of revision and re-imagining famous movies, as Chuck did with this novel, while others detail where our narrator is now (after her story). These sections are all new additions to the original novel, and some chapters are even written backwards, forcing you to read the words in a mirror. It's a pain, but there is a purpose about reflections and mirrors and being forced to look at yourself while you read. You're reading while watching yourself read while you read… You get the picture. It's the idea of multiple reflections which function the same as the chapters that repeat on a loop. Where does it all begin and end? So many moebius strips, so little time.
The third and most interesting of these narrative diversions contains biographical stories about Chuck's own life. There are three separate stories in this loop, one which deals with a road trip that inspired this novel, one about when he was writing his first manuscript and a third about being on set for the film of his novel turned movie Choke. Since the fictional story deals so much with impossible sounding coincidences (even though our world is a small one), Chuck shares some of his own coincidences in these stories, from a shared memory between him and a friend he hadn't met yet, to the death of the mother he wrote about correlating to his own mother's death and all the coincidences in between. They're poignant, beautiful and most importantly true.
As with most of Chuck P. novels, there is a repetitive element throughout the narrative. Where in Fight Club it was "I am Jack's" insert organ of the body here (my personal favorite is "raging bile duct"), this story also has a similar narrative trick.
In this novel, weaved throughout is the flash of a camera taking photos with a wide variety of emotions being yelled out as if by a fashion photographer. The most memorable line being, "Give me lust, baby. Flash. Give me malice. Flash. Give me detached existentialist ennui. Flash." There are also paragraphs starting with the phrase, "Jump to…" to tell the reader that the story is once again jumping in time and location. Spoiler alert: this happens more than in a Doctor Who episode.
There are plenty of reasons why this new structure works so well in this choose your own adventure type chapter hopping format, but I appreciate it even more for what it says about life. The end of a book generally doesn't signal the end of a character's life, unless you're reading a historical fiction novel, and Palahniuk knows that. So rather than bring the end of the narrator's story to the end of the novel, he wisely ends it somewhere in the middle, where stories generally leave their protagonists on their journey through life. Bravo on that Chuck.
- Format is entirely different than anything I've come across
- More than just the main story, but other stories hidden within the chapters
- Full of coincidences, which Chuck shows us is not mere fodder for the plot
- All the fun of the original novel with a meaningful new way to read it
- Backwards chapters were a pain to read, was warned this might happen to anyone over 22
I am over the moon excited that Chuck Palahniuk has put out not one but two fantastic novels in a row. Just when I was losing faith he came along with Damned (read review here) and announced this author's cut, which was everything I hoped for but didn't think possible. I've said it before and I'll say it again, welcome back Mr. Palahniuk!

To the Editors:
This has been a super year for physics. The advance that will undoubtedly have the greatest technological impact is the discovery of high-temperature superconductors ((SCIENCE, May 11)). But scientists are also very excited about continuing development of the superstring theory, which seeks to describe the fundamental unity of the forces of nature, Supernova 1987A, and the superconducting supercollider that President Reagan endorsed in January.

Seahawks' roster sees fewer changes this offseason
This year there are only 15 new names on Seattle's roster for Week 1, much fewer than the past two years.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Seahawks @ Arizona Cardinals, 1:25 p.m., Ch. 13
The Seahawks were last-minute shoppers the past two years.
They were elbows deep, searching through other teams' leftovers in the days after NFL rosters were reduced to 53 players. Seattle added six players in the week before the season in 2010, and three last year.
This season, the subtraction of tight end Kellen Winslow was the only real surprise as Evan Moore will be added to take his place. The fact that things are so much more settled this year speaks to the quality of the roster that coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Schneider believe they've assembled over the past two and a half years.
There's not nearly as much turnover on this year's team. Of the 53 players currently on Seattle's roster, 15 were acquired over the offseason. Compare that to last season, when 24 of Seattle's 53 players were in their first year with the team. The year before that, the number was 27, more than half the team.
For at least one player, entering his second year in Seattle, that familiarity is a good thing.
"Having spent more time in the system for a lot of guys has helped immensely," said tight end Zach Miller. "That's huge for our offense. We're more comfortable with the run game, with the pass game, so I think it's showing out there."
Miller was one of four starters the Seahawks signed as unrestricted free agents last year when the lockout made the transition even more difficult because it eliminated the team's offseason training.
This season, the team has only two projected starters who were not on the roster last year: quarterback Russell Wilson and linebacker Bobby Wagner. Both are rookies.
The Seahawks have entered a new stage of Carroll's coaching tenure. They believe they have assembled the core of a championship-caliber team. It's why they re-signed Red Bryant and Marshawn Lynch this offseason, focusing more on retention than addition.
Seattle didn't spend that much time shopping for veterans this offseason. They found a few, like Jason Jones, the defensive tackle from the Tennessee Titans who will be a big part of Seattle's nickel defense. They also brought in receiver Braylon Edwards.
Of the 15 newcomers, only six are veterans who played elsewhere in the NFL last year.
One of those was going to be Winslow, a tight end who had caught more passes than all but two tight ends in the NFL over the past five years.
Instead, Seattle plans to add Moore, a 6-foot-6 tight end who played two seasons of basketball at Stanford. Moore signed with Green Bay as an undrafted rookie in 2008 when Schneider was with the Packers.
Moore has 62 catches in his career while Winslow has caught more than 62 passes in five of the past six seasons. But this wasn't just about talent. There was a financial component, as Winslow's contract called for him to make $3.3 million this season, a number the Seahawks sought to reduce. When he declined, Seattle saw Moore as a younger, cheaper alternative.
An NFL team's roster is never set. Winslow's sudden release is evidence, but the fact that Seattle didn't do much else spoke to the confidence the Seahawks have in their roster.

I was thinking that it might almost be time for snow projects to be done, but I had to share another one before I wrap it up for the year.
This snowman cloche by Sharon is not just cute – but that "cloche" is actually a plastic 2-liter bottle. The whole project is very creative, and I love the touches of the little birds and snowflakes.
I'll let you visit Sharon to find out how Mod Podge is used.

Million Dollar Business Coaching & Consulting for Entrepreneurs
Are you tired of struggling and not putting as much money in the bank as you want?
At some point, you say to yourself: "Enough. I've been working too hard for these puny results.
"I've read books, gone to conferences and listened to webinars about how to get 'hockey-stick growth.' But no matter how hard I work, my business is just not scaling like I want.
"I know I have the beginnings of a super-successful business, and the people around me believe in it. But I also know I need a simple, repeatable marketing system that consistently brings me a flow of new customers, so I can prove to my stakeholders — and myself — that we have the formula for fast growth.
"But even if I figure out how to scale fast, I also want to reach the point I've seen other entrepreneurs get to, where I work less, earn more and build a meaningful net worth that gives me the lifestyle I want.
"I'm obviously missing a small but critical piece of the puzzle... I just need to figure out what it is!"

You may have read about the study published in the Journal of Environmental Psychology recently which noted the beneficial effect of a mild chocolate aroma in the air on book buyers. I am quite confident in the results of the study, given the researchers were Belgian. A grad student at Ole Miss or a professor from MIT wouldn't do. But a Belgian chocolate researcher, well, it sounds like the gold standard to me. After roaming the shelves, consumers were forty percent more likely to buy romance and cookbooks and twenty-two percent more likely to buy anything else.
So what's an author to do with this information? Given my novels are available online in digital and paperback form, I have a serious aromatic challenge to my success as a writer. I can't go around smearing chocolate on everyone's laptop, iPad, smart phone or Kindle. Okay, I could, but it would take forever and I'd gain about a hundred pounds in the process.
Then it hit me. I can't waft the scent of chocolate across the internet, but I can hook you up with a path to chocolate, a source for olfactory excitement guaranteed to drive you into a digital book buying frenzy. But what path should I take? Chocolate truffles? Fudge? Dark chocolate cake?
The Nick Sibelius series is set in Texas. How about something more aligned to Mexico and the Southwest? I could do something simple, like some steaming Mexican hot chocolate, but I know you, dear reader. You want a challenge. You want to be wowed. You want mole.
If you're not familiar with this exquisite Mexican delight, then you're in for a treat. An exotic and rich mixture of chilies, spices, nuts and yes, chocolate, this is the stuff food writers talk about when they talk about 'food of the gods'. Trust me, your journey on this planet is not complete without partaking in some well prepared mole. I imagine every grandmother in Mexico has a secret family mole recipe, but just to keep it simple, here's a link to Food and Wine's recipe. This will take you several hours to make, but consider the extraordinary online digital book shopping you will experience. Imagine browsing for digital books, the complex earthy chocolatey aroma of mole filling your senses, urging, no demanding, you buy books 22 to 40% more than you would normally.
Bon Appétit and Happy Reading!

Symbolic execution is a powerful program analysis technique, but it is very challenging to apply to programs built using event-driven frameworks, such as Android. The main reason is that the framework code itself is too complex to symbolically execute. The standard solution is to manually create a framework model that is simpler and more amenable to symbolic execution. However, developing and maintaining such a model by hand is difficult and error-prone. We claim that we can leverage program synthesis to introduce a high-degree of automation to the process of framework modeling. To support this thesis, we present three pieces of work. First, we introduced SymDroid, a symbolic executor for Android. While Android apps are written in Java, they are compiled to Dalvik bytecode format. Instead of analyzing an app's Java source, which may not be available, or decompiling from Dalvik back to Java, which requires significant engineering effort and introduces yet another source of potential bugs in an analysis, SymDroid works directly on Dalvik bytecode. Second, we introduced Pasket, a new system that takes a first step toward automatically generating Java framework models to support symbolic execution. Pasket takes as input the framework API and tutorial programs that exercise the framework. From these artifacts and Pasket's internal knowledge of design patterns, Pasket synthesizes an executable framework model by instantiating design patterns, such that the behavior of a synthesized model on the tutorial programs matches that of the original framework. Lastly, in order to scale program synthesis to framework models, we devised adaptive concretization, a novel program synthesis algorithm that combines the best of the two major synthesis strategies: symbolic search, i.e., using SAT or SMT solvers, and explicit search, e.g., stochastic enumeration of possible solutions. Adaptive concretization parallelizes multiple sub-synthesis problems by partially concretizing highly influential unknowns in the original synthesis problem. Thanks to adaptive concretization, Pasket can generate a large-scale model, e.g., thousands lines of code. In addition, we have used an Android model synthesized by Pasket and found that the model is sufficient to allow SymDroid to execute a range of apps.

From Sunday's visit to Sturgeon Bay. The first two shots are very similar, but cropped to give you some idea of the size of the tugs up against the freighters. The red and blue ship that they are working with is the Edgar B Speer.
This last shot is hard to present with a size restriction. Viewed at about 4×6, the impact is just lost. (It's my picture and MY eyes don't know where to rest.) It really needs to be viewed full-sized, so click on it if you can. Then, it makes sense.
There is the deckhand and there is the expanse of ice. I don't think the conflict has any weight unless you can see the "face" of each.

The video review I did for Cold War Kids' EP _Behave Yourself_.
Cold War Kids Video Review from Melanie Killingsworth on Vimeo.
Done for Paste Magazine in February 2010. Recorded with two Sony cameras (all hand-held), edited with Final Cut video, inter-cut with music, pictures, footage, and a music video from the band (used with permission). I loved how they name-dropped Erykah Badu so much, I had to name-drop their name-drop.

Security Watch: Reatlemania Hits The Internet!
windows security alerts and updatesit's one of those weeks with too many alerts and updates to count, so we'll focus on just one set of them. for the fifth time this year the mozilla foundation has released a set of security patches to the mozilla and firefox web browsers, two of them critical.
one of the critical bugs, which only affects firefox, could allow links to external media players, such as flash and quicktime, to execute arbitrary code in the browser context. the second bug, both in firefox and mozilla, results from a programming error in the browser's object model and could allow web scripts to acquire privileged status.
updates are available to firefox 1.0.5 and mozilla 1.7.9 which address these and many other, less serious bugs. (as of friday, 7/15 the update to mozilla is not yet posted and two days late.)

Wedding Anniversary Gift Design
If you are married, you may have already heard about the traditional presents you are meant to gift your husband or wife depending on the anniversary year you are celebrating. This is a very old tradition which has been updated in the past few years with a newly revised gift list.
Below we have created a graphic for you showing both the traditional and modern list of anniversary gifts.
The standard list of traditional and modern Wedding Anniversary gifts.
Why Design Anniversary Gifts:
What I love about this gifting theme is that it is very easy to incorporate your current range into this category without having to redesign anything or create a brand new range. You can see from our table above, the theme for a first-anniversary gift is 'paper'. As we already create personalised prints, these would naturally make a perfect paper anniversary gift. So all we had to do was add a suggestion in the product description that this print would be the 'perfect paper anniversary gift'. However on another occasion, we create a print specifically for this theme so we could title it 'Personalised First Anniversary Art Print'. This was so we could make the most of those keywords, plus it enabled us to position a product in any anniversary gifting categories available to us.
Gift Design Inspiration for First Anniversary 'Paper' Gifts.
Paper may seem an easy theme to incorporate into your current gifting range, so what do you do if you want to offer a gift for the more complex anniversary themes? Personally, I would suggest putting a twist on the theme. For example, for a Ruby Wedding Anniversary, we have a ruby coloured anniversary print. Following on from this, the theme for a 25th wedding anniversary gift is silver so we have a silver foiled personalised art print.
Gift Inspiration for First Anniversary, Paper Gifts.
The key thing to remember is you do not have to design a gift for every possible year. Instead, just pick the ones which are relevant to your offering.
Finally, I would recommend starting with the first ten years of themes as these are the ones which are celebrated the most so there will always be a greater demand for those

Are You Struggling And Need Some Guidance From The Divine?
Archangel Michael hands you an energetic key. This sacred key unlocks your etheric wings allowing your Heavenly qualities and gifts to bloom.
This Sacred energetic key is delivered to you by Archangel Michael and is a powerful blessing of "Winged Resilience!" The time has come for you Earth Angel to expand your consciousness and accept your etheric wings. The energy of this key is a gift from God that will allow your wings to unfold or expand if already open. As your wings bloom you realise that you can spread Heaven's energies of love, faith, hope, kindness and healing as directed by the Angelic realm. Archangel Michael also explains that with the opening of your wings you are blessed with the gift of "Divine Resilience". As your consciousness correlates to the energy of your life purpose this resilience allows you to handle lower and dense energies more effectively bringing you back to perfect balance quickly without absorbing the energy. As your wings strengthen you also become aware of an increased ability to sense energy and read auras. The energy of this key is so powerful Archangel Michael refers to it as "Ethereal Grace!" Take this key with love and gratitude, hold it next to your heart and know that its gift is delivered. And so it is!
AFFIRMATIONS: I can feel it in my wings. I am an Angel of kindness. I am light and buoyant, yet grounded and resilient. I spread love, joy, kindness and healing light where it is required.
ALTERNATIVE MEANINGS: Channel Divine Grace, charity work, volunteering, fundraising, congruence of heart and soul, miracle, carer, nurse, resolve, passion has purpose, rekindled wisdom, knowledge, life purpose, channel Divine grace, prayer, compassionate friend, Earth Angel, indigo, crystal or rainbow child.
*Archangel Metatron
This time now indeed is powerful for illuminating those thoughts, beliefs, memories and habits you carry that do not ultimately serve.
And so breathe in, and allow the light from the angelic realm, and the light from the Divine that is all around you to enter in. Breathe in the light. Let light fill your spinal column. Let your entire being be illuminated with light. And now as you breathe out, as you exhale, you are able to let go and release. As you breathe out, release fear, anxiety, and density that has remained in you but is no longer needed and no longer serves. Let it go. Release into the light and over to your angels.
To step into the full light that you are, into a state of pure compassion, love and peace, you must be willing to release past hurts, beliefs, and worry which is weighing you down. Now is the time, and your soul light is ready to fully shine.
Unconditional love, peace, joy, bliss, abundance, this is who you are. Release anything that is not love. Replace it with love, and step forward confidently in love, knowing that as you do you truly are able to ascend into the higher realms to begin to live your heaven on earth. You'll then be able to serve humanity and your planet in this process of ascension and evolution. This is what you are here on Earth to do. As you release that which no longer serves you, you are able to truly connect with who you are with your higher self with your divine energy. And so breathe in the light, and as you exhale, let go.
Much Love, Light and Angel Blessings to you.

Car traders across the country are running out of time if they want to nominate their members of staff for an accolade recognising them as Unsung Heroes within a business.
The inaugural award has been launched by Motor Trader magazine and acknowledges and rewards those that work hard in a dealership or other similar business within the industry, but might not necessarily receive any formal plaudits.
People who hold positions such as receptionists, service advisors, workshop technicians and human resources will be recognised under the new awards event.
The event is sponsored by Peacock Recruitment and senior recruitment consultant Gemma Charnley spoke of how pleased the firm are to be involved in such an event.
We are delighted to be sponsoring the Motor Trader Unsung Heroes 2013. As recruitment specialists we understand dealers' specific requirements for staff in all areas of their business,†she said.
As Ms Charnley noted, specific motor trade staff can help to make a business tick. Having everyone on-site and under one roof can be a real blessing, as operations become a lot smoother to run with improved communication.
However, dealer principals, general managers, managing directors and chief executives will want to make sure that all members of staff are protected, as well as appreciated.
Having trade combined insurance for a dealership or large business will not only cover customers in the event of an accident on-site, but also all members of staff – regardless of their position within a company.
Accidents can occur at any time, so it is important that a business obtains top quality motor insurance that is tailored to their daily workplace activities. Speaking to a motor trade insurance broker will help your business to get the most appropriate cover at the best possible price.
Business owners and managers can submit nominations for the Unsung Heroes 2013 awards by downloading a copy of the entry form here. All entries must be sent off by the closing date of October 25th.
In addition to receiving a certificate and a trophy, the winners will be featured in Motor Trader magazine.

Three Analog DelightsBy David Smith. Posted in Ambient, Drone, Electronic, Reviews | No Comments »
Compared with more traditional instruments that have been played for centuries, the analog synthesizer went from cutting-edge to retro in a remarkably short space of time. With the advent of digital processing and the laptop as the music tool of choice for a new generation of electronic musicians, there was a time when it felt as if the analog synthesizer, which came into its own in the 1960s, might have had a shelf-life measured in mere decades. It had offered a couple of distinctive motifs to the musical world – cosmic atmospherics and the insistently pulsing sequencer rhythm – before ceding the stage, like the protagonists of Toy Story, to more up-to-date electronic playthings. The association of early analog synth sounds with an era in science fiction whose ray-guns-and-jetpacks vision of the future now seems quaint added to the curious cultural positioning of synth music as futuristic yet almost immediately retro. For at least some of us who grew up with Jean-Michel Jarre, Vangelis, Kraftwerk, and Tangerine Dream, the digital revolution was not all unalloyed gain. Thankfully, fears of obsolescence have proved premature – a steady flow of recent releases continues to unfold the possibilities of the synthesizer sound world, whether with vintage equipment or its hand-constructed descendants. The three albums below are my favorites from the first half of 2012.
Ian Boddy – Strange Attractors
Ian Boddy is curator of the British DiN label, which specializes in analog synthesizer music, and is himself a veteran and prolific composer with over 50 releases credited to him at discogs.com. He can be relied upon to produce regular additions to the genre that stay faithful to its traditional features while stretching its expressive possibilities. His first 2012 release, Strange Attractors, recorded live at a recent concert series (a further live album, After the Rain, has since also been released), is a worthy addition to his substantial body of work, offering dark atmospheres, gurgling rhythms, and a sense of epic scale achieved through the careful looping and layering of sounds. Mysteriously atmospheric, cosmic swirls of sound accompanied by alienated gurgles, hums and swishes make some of the tracks patient, ominous mood pieces, evoking cold alien vistas as they unfold with a kind of sedate majesty. The other tracks build around rhythmic sequencer grooves in which the tempo stays hypnotically fixed but slow-burning builds and ebbs are engineered through the subtle manipulation of timbre and the careful addition and subtraction of accompanying elements. The album is cerebral in tone, inviting the listener to linger and watch the painstaking process of construction and deconstruction and admire the skilled placement of each new sound. The more propulsive tracks nevertheless also create motion and energy and draw the listener more bodily into their driving rhythms. The whole is a satisfying combination of other-worldly sounds and toe-tapping grooves – to my ear one of Boddy's strongest releases to date.
Bryter Layter – Two Lenses (Amazon download)
Compared to Ian Boddy's 76 minute opus, Two Lenses by Bryter Layter (on the Students of Decay label) is an unassuming little album, compact and cosy. It may seem curious for a duo offering an album of synthetic soundscapes made on home-made synthesizers to name themselves after a 1970 album by folk icon Nick Drake, and yet (unless this is just the word association working on my ears) the album does at times have a folksy feel. Classic analog synthesizer music was meant to evoke the future, and more specifically a future of gleaming metal, rushing rocket ships and cosmic frontiers. Two Lenses evokes a more modest and personal space. Its tone is gently and wistfully reflective. The first half of the album focuses on plaintive, unassuming melodies, synthetic in timbre but nostalgic in tone – played on other instruments they might be instrumental folk pieces. The last two tracks work in a more standard cosmic mode, offering a delightful layering of high, reedy melody, a lugubriously wandering drift of bass tones, and mysterious bursts of swirling, rasping, pulsing, susurrating sounds that together open patient space for contemplation. And yet even here the music feels to me for the most part evocative of more modest spaces than the sweep of the galaxies – chamber music for the analog synth, as it were; synth music stripped of its frequent bombast and pretensions to grandeur and served in a cosier setting. The cover image with its warm colors and evocation of snug enclosure frames the album well, for the music is personal and intimate. This is a charming, kind-spirited album that is well worth a listen.
Egyptology – The Skies
Perhaps the most immediately arresting of the three albums reviewed here is The Skies by Egyptology, released on French label Clapping Music. A debut release, The Skies openly embraces science fiction tropes and glories with unashamed nostalgia in the imprecise sounds of retro analog synth music, while at the same time imbuing it with a childlike freshness that is simply fun to listen to. Opening with a driving, squelchy synth sequence overlaid with portentous tones and echoing pulses, the album establishes a sense of playful drama from the outset. As its pulses and atmospheres unfold the album achieves some of the same sense of naive, optimistic majesty that could be heard in the best of Vangelis (an artist whose sound world is clearly echoed more than once). The compositions are deceptively simple yet always engaging and convey a sense of sheer enjoyment of the sounds being created. Surprises lurk, like the gradual rhythmic shift of Orbis Part 2 Migration and the reedy alien voices of Orbis Part 3: Terraforming. Despite the occasional cosmic interlude, the album as a whole is driven by danceable rhythms cloaked in furry flurries of notes whose retro roots are worn on their murkily crackling sleeve. It might be tempting to call the album a guilty pleasure, except that there is no sense of guilt in the music, just a reveling in the fun that can still be had with old instruments. The result is one of the most appealing albums of the year so far.

Newt wanted to restructure the US government outlined in the Constitution, that he swore to uphold and said he believed in, giving special terror authority to the Executive Branch before 9/11 based on terror attacks he thought of before they happened months later. Look who is running for president. Clip aired September 16, 2001.
Newt knew large scale terror was about to hit America, now vetted for the Executive branch he gave despotic secret authority to rule like a king under. It is critical you understand the post-9/11 government, it is not the America we were told about in US history. The DHS gives the president unconstitutional authority and power, eliminating the checks and balances, legally allowing unlawful engineered operations and secrecy under the guise of "security". Newt wants to eliminate the laws against supporting terrorist … "so he can penetrate the cells" and work with our enemies staging covert terrorism and double agent spy back stabbing, treason under the laws he wants to change. This is how Obama can legally run Al-Qaeda in Libya and call them "rebels". As Newt says "unsavory people" with human rights violations. Newt had planned much bigger terror attacks than 9/11 for the American people, he still got his biological attack. Newt impossibly predicted 9/11 and Anthrax months before they happened, and planned the anti-Constitutional response. Criminal traitors for president, vetted for the sheep to choose from. Newt Gingrich is a 9/11 terrorism benefactor, add him to the top suspect list. Knewt had it all planned out before 9/11, a real Constitution hating militant communist subversive American traitor. Hyndsight is 20/20. He knew and said too much before it happened to be innocent.
Road Map for National Security: Imperative for Change …. February 15, 2001
The combination of unconventional weapons proliferation with the persistence of international terrorism will end the relative invulnerability of the U.S. homeland to catastrophic attack. A direct attack against American citizens on American soil is likely over the next quarter century. The risk is not only death and destruction but also a demoralization that could undermine U.S. global leadership. In the face of this threat, our nation has no coherent or integrated governmental structures.
We therefore recommend the creation of an independent National Homeland Security Agency (NHSA) with responsibility for planning, coordinating, and integrating various U.S. government activities involved in homeland security. NHSA would be built upon the Federal Emergency Management Agency, with the three organizations currently on the front line of border security—the Coast Guard, the Customs Service, and the Border Patrol—transferred to it. NHSA would not only protect American lives, but also assume responsibility for overseeing the protection of the nation's critical infrastructure, including information technology.
The NHSA Director would have Cabinet status and would be a statutory advisor to the National Security Council. The legal foundation for the National Homeland Security Agency would rest firmly within the array of Constitutional guarantees for civil liberties. The observance of these guarantees in the event of a national security emergency would be safeguarded by NHSA's interagency coordinating activities—which would include the Department of Justice—as well as by its conduct of advance exercises. The potentially catastrophic nature of homeland attacks necessitates our being prepared to use the extensive resources of the Department of Defense (DoD). We recommend that a new office of Assistant Secretary for Homeland Security be created to oversee DoD activities in this domain and to ensure that the necessary resources are made available. New priorities also need to be set for the U.S. armed forces in light of the threat to the homeland. We urge, in particular, that the National Guard be given homeland security as a primary mission, as the U.S. Constitution itself ordains. The National Guard should be reorganized, trained, and equipped to undertake that mission. Finally, we recommend that Congress reorganize itself to accommodate this Executive Branch realignment, and that it also form a special select committee for homeland security to provide Congressional support and oversight in this critical area.

I have a wall in my newly redone bathroom that's making me crazy. The window is in a steel frame and these were not set exactly even in my old house. So, despite the drywall going on straight, the window steel frame has a high upper left edge sticking out about 1/2 inch from the wall, meanwhile the other side sits flat against the wall. I can't add a window edge/molding because my shower door frame literally runs right along the window frame.
Any way that I can make this "appear" more even without creating a mess?
I considered buying small wood shims and gluing on to the low half of the window frame and build it up and out a bit. Glue it, fill it with putty and paint...crazy?
I am "kinda" handy, but not a craftswoman by any stretch of the imagination. In fact, I'm probably more dangerous thinking I *can* tackle something like this.

Kim Kardashian covers the March issue of Harper's Bazaar US edition, which includes a Cleopatra-themed photo shoot, but also an interview made by Kim to her idol Elizabeth Taylor. In the interview for the magazine, Kim talks about a wide range of topics, from her eating habits and plastic surgeries to her famous tape and her friendship with Paris Hilton.
It seems that people cannot have enough of Kim Kardashian. The 30-year-old-
reality star graces the cover of the March issue of US Harper's
Bazaar. Inside the magazine, there is a special photo shoot made by
Terry Richardson featuring Kim dressed as Cleopatra. Moreover, Kim
interviews Elizabeth Taylor speaking about jewels, diamonds, glam,
and life as a legend.
In her interview for the magazine, Kim opens up and talks about her weight and dieting, her "head for business", Botox, Kanye West and Paris Hilton, but also about the already famous tape.
"I never made a business off of the tape. I made a business off my family and our TV show. Before the tape came out, we were in the works to do our TV show, but people don't know that. I thought there would be a lot of misconceptions about me, so it was not even a question that it had to be a family show," she told the magazine.
Speaking about her weight and eating habits, Kim says that she
is on a diet. "I need to be. I love to
eat Kit Kats or cookies-and-cream ice cream. I need sugar like five
times a day." She also added that "I worked out once [when in New
York]. I gained like 10 pounds. All the papers were like, Kim's
pregnant! I ate the nuts on the street corner, the hot dogs, the
street meat. It was not a joke."
Kim characterizes herself as being extremely ambitious and says her late father, lawyer Robert Kardashian, was the one who strove to implement a certain work ethic to his children.
"I put myself on a budget. My parents raised us saying that at 18, we'd be cut off," she told Harper's Bazaar. "If we wanted this lifestyle, we had to work extra hard to get it. All of our friends had credit cards and cell phones, but that wasn't even a possibility," she explains.
On her friendship with Paris Hilton, Kim believes that there are certain persons who come in our lives for a reason. "We don't really talk. As I always say, everyone comes into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. And she was in my life for a long time. There comes a point in life where you just grow apart and you realize you're not as similar as you thought." As for Kanye West, it seems that the two are just "good friends."

A seaside resort on the Costa Blanca in the province of Alicante, Valencia, Spain, the tourist city of Benidorm is well known for its sunny beaches and long history of tourism. It's populace is mainly Spanish, however quite a number of British expats found their home here. There's a rather common misconception that Benidorm isn't quite the funnest place to holiday especially for young people, since it used to be one of the top European destination for the elderly in the 1960s.
The local administration and businesses have revamped their model since, as a myriad of parties, events, five star hotels, groovy clubs and 24/7 bars have spiked in Benidorm in the past few years. Now, the seaside resort has transitioned to a place where basically all kinds of people can find their place and enjoy some quality, sunny time.
A bit of fun facts on Benidorm, though. Did you know the city was the first in Spain to allow the bikini? Quite the funny story actually. It seems that in the early 1950s the mayor of the back then mere fishing town, Pedro Zaragoza, went all the way to Madrid to meet general Franco himself, a fearsome dictator, to ask permission for female tourists to wear their revealing bathing costumes on his beaches. Contrary to catholic priests protests, Franco allowed it. The rest, well it's history!
[ALSO READ] Mediterranean foods you can't miss out of!
Today Benidorm is famous for tall hotels and holiday apartment blocks, some of which are over 25 floors high. Since 2006 Benidorm has also seen a huge increase in the quality of accommodation and now attracts not just package holiday visitors but tourists who demand 5-star hotel and spa complexes. In total, there are about 1,000 places to eat and drink. It's not about quantity in Benidorm, though, which is on a fast track to becoming a must-go-to destination for any Europe party goer. Finding cheap holidays to Benidorm is very easy, too.
And what's not to like? Benidorm gets 3,000 hours of sunshine a year, its beaches are beautifully white and the water is pristine. Sure, the parties might not be as bustling as Ibiza, but they're starting to grow in Benidorm as well. And if you come with your family, well you blend a lot of tastes here.

The very best time to go buy your first pattern is when they're having a hot sale. Simplicity and McCall's patterns go on sale frequently at the fabric stores I go to- JoAnn's and Hancock Fabrics. Don't take any kids with you if that's at all possible- you want some time to sit and peruse slowly through the patterns. There are a few things you want to look for.
First of all, is it your size? Your size in patterns is not the same as your ready-to-wear size. Generally, your pattern size is about 2 sizes up from your RTW size, but not always. Check the back of the pattern for measurements. Also, be sure to check the measurements of the finished garment against your own measurements. There will be ease* built in to the pattern. Depending on how much ease is built in and how you want the pattern to fit, you may need to go a size down even for your regular pattern size.
The next thing you need to look at is how hard the pattern will be. For your first pattern, you will most likely want to avoid things like tightly curved seams, pleats, buttonholes**, gathers, and darts***.
Finally, look at the type of material the pattern requires. Stretch knits can be hard to work with, as are any kinds of material that are slick like satin or silk. Denim and fleece can be thick and your machine may hate it. Anything you can use a nice cotton material is your best bet. Besides the fact that cotton is usually fairly inexpensive, it's very easy to work with.
It seems like I've written a whole lot of "don'ts" here, but you can still find lots of patterns that fit the bill here. Try a nice A-line or gored skirt, or a pair of bed pants. For my first pattern, I made a 4 gore skirt with a zipper (zippers seem hard, but are fairly easy), Burda 8427. I managed to lose the instructions after I cut the pattern out and still got it together halfway decently. I skipped the fringe on it, because I hate stupid fringe on anything.
The second thing I made was McCall's 2101. This is where I should have checked the ease- the size I made ended up being HUGE on me. If I hadn't used a sheet that had cowboy boots, sheriff stars and pony heads on it, I could have given these to my husband. Fortunately, they're drawstring so they fit me well enough for bed pants. If I had cut out a smaller size, I would probably be able to wear them out somewhere. They went together very easily and quickly. So easily and quickly, that I thought, "I need something harder."
Enter my triumph and my Waterloo:
That's McCall's 5233. They claim it is an easy pattern, but I'm nearly bald from ripping my hair out over it. The problem is first, that the directions are fairly unclear about how to do the sleeves. I spent 2 hours trying to figure out what they meant before just putting the sleeves together in a way that made sense to me. I don't think I did them right, but they look okay, so whatever. That wasn't even the hard part, though, the hard part was the collar. That's why I say no tightly curved seams up there. It was just harder than it needed to be. It turned out pretty well, though, and looks cute on me, and fits perfectly, so I can't complain too much.
If you're having a tough time picking out a pattern, leave me a comment and let me know, I'll be glad to help!
*There are two kinds of ease- wearing ease and design ease. Wearing ease is how much space your body needs between you and the clothing to be comfortable. Industry standard is 2 inches at the bust, 1 inch in the waist, & 3 inches in the hip. Design ease is where the design has more space than necessary for comfort, for style's sake.
**This is depending on how hard it is to make buttonholes on your machine. Some people's machines have a nifty one-step buttonhole. Mine does, but it's still complicated so I have avoided buttonholes so far.
***Darts are actually not that hard. But for your first pattern, it might be better just to get used to the sewing, since darts are the very first thing you have to do if they are in a pattern, and you don't want to deal with a puckery dart as the very first thing you sew.

Did the U.S. Dept of Ed mock poor students?
Here's a tip about Twitter for government agencies: It's best to avoid attempts at humor that appear to poke fun at poor people.
The U.S. Department of Education apologized Wednesday for a tweet that was aimed at urging students to fill out applications for financial aid, called the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA.
The problem? The tweet included the text, "If this is you, then you better fill out your FAFSA," accompanied with a photo of a woman and the caption, "Help me. I'm poor."
The tweet was later deleted, although Twitter users have posting screen shots. That sparked an immediate backlash, with Monroe Community College president Anne Kress noting that "everything about this is tone-deaf and just wrong."
While the Department of Education's Federal Student Aid office said it was "very sorry," some are defending the tweet, noting that it was an effort to use a popular meme to engage the agency's target audience -- young would-be students -- on the Internet.
The photo was a screenshot from the popular movie "Bridesmaids," when actress Kristen Wiig's character is drunk and asking a flight attendant if she can remain in first class. The scene has become a popular meme, thanks to GIFs and screen shots of Wiig's sunglasses-wearing character.
But the issue shows the dangers of trying to be funny and culturally relevant, especially when it comes to a hot-button issue such as paying for a college education. With the cost of a college education rising more than 500 percent since 1985, far outpacing the 121 percent gain in the consumer price index, some poor- and middle-income students are finding it tougher than ever to afford college.
On top of that, student debt in the U.S. has swelled to $1.2 trillion, hampering some graduates' chances of buying a house or a car, given their loan repayments.
The tweet was "an ill-conceived attempt at reaching students through social media," a spokeswoman for the Department of Education told Inside Higher Ed. "We are reviewing our process for approving social media content to ensure it reflects the high standards we expect at the U.S. Department of Education."

Some of the best episodes of the Dragon Ball series are simple, slice-of-life tales that show what the Z Fighters do on their day off. These tangential adventures rarely make use of the immense powers of the demigods that the show centers on, instead choosing to focus on how silly it would look if the gang had a driving test. The loveable weirdos over at ADHD sought to combine the two types of episodes into one twisted short, imagining what it might look like if Goku had to summon a Super Sandwich. We weren't joking about that headphone warning.
If you thought that was bizarre, check out their last video, "Dragon Ball Z in 30 Seconds."

Why Improved Engagement Rates and Mobile User Experience Have Adform Excited About The Future Of Programmatic Native
The Sharethrough Exchange is growing rapidly and we're adding in a constant stream of new DSP integrations allowing a growing number of programmatic buyers to purchase native ad inventory on Sharethrough's client base of over 1100 premium publishers. In Q4, Adform, the independent full-stack ad-tech platform, partnered with Sharethrough enabling programmatic native support through their DSP. In the following post, Adform talk about their approach to programmatic native and the opportunity they see in this technology.
Advertisers really want their content to resonate with consumers and ensure their ads are seen by targeted readers. This is exactly what's possible with programmatic native advertising.
Native ads blend in with original content, allowing both advertisers and publishers to offer an immersive, yet user-friendly, ad experience. These non-intrusive advertising experiences are proven to be more effective at capturing consumers' attention, making them increasingly sought out by advertisers.
According to the native advertising report published by the MMA, consumers spent 40 percent more time interacting with native ads than with standard ones, and when native ads appeared in a mobile environment, consumers gave mobile native ads three times more attention than standard ones.
For publishers, native advertising offers new monetization opportunities as well as the ability to deliver ads that will adopt the look and feel of their sites, for a less intrusive ad experience for the consumer.
Over the last two years, Adform has helped advertisers and publishers build custom native formats that enhance the user experience while simultaneously working to meet marketers' need to combine their first-party data at scale.
Reaching audiences at scale with native advertising has challenged the industry until recently, when the Internet Advertising Bureau (IAB) released its OpenRTB 2.3 guidelines earlier this year, including standardization for native ads.
This standard has defined how advertisers and publishers should buy and sell native ads programmatically at scale, and eventually helped Adform include native ads in our real-time bidding ecosystem. The result is that we now offer our customers in-feed units through our Demand-Side Platform. In-feed native units are created to merge seamlessly with online content, with strong headlines able to grab attention as users scroll through (news) feeds.
In the following Q&A, Adform Product Director, Jurjen de Wal, talked about this new release, the future of programmatic mobile advertising and how Adform is innovating with consumer-friendly formats like programmatic native.
What is the key advantage of programmatic native advertising?
Consumers tend to look more at native ads than standard ads. According to Sharethrough's research, native in-feed units drive better performance compared with standard display banners. Native ads registered 18 percent higher lift in purchase intent and 9 percent lift for brand affinity responses than banner ads.
How will native advertising benefit advertisers and publishers?
We believe this is a new way for advertisers to engage with their consumers, as native ads improve the consumer ad experience, especially on mobile, which is an extremely personal device. Non-obtrusive ads also do their part to stem ad-blocking downloads.
For publishers, native advertising offers new monetization opportunities as well as the ability to deliver ads that will adopt the look and feel of their sites, for a less intrusive ad experience for the consumer. Since native ad units take on the form and function of the site, the ads behave like the actual platform content, allowing publishers' content to perform while making money from ad content on their sites.
Offering native solutions outside social platforms—and since Facebook sunset its Facebook Exchange–presents more opportunities to tell consistent stories across devices. Native formats are especially important as consumers spend more time on mobile devices, where video and native ad formats dominate.
Why is native advertising solving mobile advertising issues?
Native was pioneered by social platforms such as Facebook and Twitter. On these platforms, the lion's share of mobile advertising spend is going to in-feed social. Offering native solutions outside social platforms—and since Facebook sunset its Facebook Exchange–presents more opportunities to tell consistent stories across devices. Native formats are especially important as consumers spend more time on mobile devices, where video and native ad formats dominate.
How has DSP spend on mobile changed?
In Adform we've seen the spend for mobile programmatic advertising more than double every year. Currently total mobile advertising spend is still smaller than the Desktop display spend, but Mobile will become the leading channel in the months to come. This coincides with increasing demand for mobile video and mobile native (in-feed) formats.
Mobile video and native ad formats, together with mobile audience data (particularly location) will be catalyst for the mobile DSP spend in our platform. However, it won't come automatically, there's still a lot of education and evangelization needed to make agencies and advertisers comfortable, debunk "mobile myths" and help people embrace the mobile opportunities.
Will context relevancy be ignored in programmatic native?
Absolutely not. Publishers have full control over the final ad layout, where a native ad is deliberately designed to align with the content on their sites.
How can an advertisers customize the content and target a native ad in Adform?
Creating a native ad in our system is easy. The advertiser simply selects the native banner type; uploads the creative assets (such as a thumbnail or icon); and enters the ad headline, text description, and brand name. As for targeting possibilities, the advertiser can target by location, device, operating system, and contextual relevancy—exactly the same capabilities as for display banners in our system.
What big trends in mobile advertising do you predict for the rest of this year?
More and more focus on consumer friendly formats that are less intrusive and are purposely made for mobile. For example, vertical video which flows much better in the natural user experience. Also, native (video) ads that blend in with the page content yield higher engagement and are considered less intrusive.

It is not uncommon for gene variants to cause an increase in glutamate, which may cause anxiety, panic attacks, agitation, and inflammation. The calming nutrients and herbs, and L-theanine in this product may help support the stressful state exhibited by high glutamate. The niacin may help use up some of the excess methyl groups, potentially allowing the the use of other necessary Genetic Methyl Nutrition supplements.

All of us have the itch to get away from the hustle and bustle of making a living and just go out and take a flight to some exotic destination. Annie Lennox couldn't have said it any more clearly – I travel the world and the seven seas, everybody is looking for something. But traveling can be expensive, especially if you booking tickets at cost. If you want to save money, what you can do is to find the best last minute flight deals.
You can find last minute flight deals from the Internet, either from the airlines themselves, or from websites offering last minute flight deals. There are certainly a lot of choices that you can look up. You only need to look up "last minute flight" on search engines like Google.
The Internet Is Your Best Ally
Back when there was still no Internet, it was almost impossible to find last minute flight deals. But with the sophistication of the Internet, it is now possible to search for last minute flight deals and make your reservations with just a click of the button.
As far as airlines are concerned, all of them always want to sell empty seats before flights. They don't necessarily advertise last minute flight deals on their website ALL THE TIME. And so what you can do is to call up the airline offices and ask for last minute flight deals.
Low cost travel sites are also one of the best places to find last minute flight deals. Do not believe that you need to book at least two weeks in advance in order to get the cheapest airfares. Many of these websites actually offer the best last minute flight deals.
Time To Think Over Your Best Options
To get the best last minute deals, you might want to consider taking time away from direct flights. Flights on connections cost cheaper than direct flights. If you stick to flights on connections, you will definitely save more money.
You can also save money if you stay one or two days at your destination. Of course, if you stay one or two more additional days, make sure you are staying with family or friends or have enough money to cover your hotel expenses.
Consider Memberships To Last Minute Travel Clubs
Now if you are NOT ready to really stretch yourself just to come up with creative ways to save money on your travel, consider becoming a member of last minute travel clubs.
Aside from giving you deeply discounted last minute flight prices; there are other perks to memberships. Frequent traveling earns you loyalty points which you can use to "buy" other tickets for traveling – that are sure savings for you.
Since travel clubs usually have tie-ups with hotels, you can stay at hotels at discounted rates instead of the published rates. Sometimes the discounts can be as high as 65%. In choosing which travel club to join, it always pays to do your research as with anything else. Find a travel club that offers discounts to an extensive network of hotels in many major cities nationwide.
