Believe it or not, acting can be quite exhausting. Not only will you need to maintain the role you're portraying for a period of time, but also have to maintain your own self at the same time.
But you know what?
Admit it or not, acting can be quite exciting. Not only will you get to maintain the role you're portraying for a period of time, but also get to maintain your own self at the same time.
Thus, it's only right for you to bring these must-haves when acting:
Lots Of Water
The reason for this is quite simple. Acting doesn't just involve the act itself. It involves a whole lot of rehearsals before the day of shooting – either making you speak for a number of times, move for a couple of times, or do both at the same time for a certain period. The only problem? This will make you more exhausted than usual; thus, the need for you to bring lots of water and any other fluids – not just to refresh yourself from the exhaustion, but also to rejuvenate yourself from the nutrients that were expelled from your body through sweating. Try out some of the top undersink reverse osmosis systems as your water system at home for this and learn more about the reason why you need bring lots of water when acting.
A Few Changes
And by this, it means clothes you might need to change into after a sweaty rehearsal with both speaking and moving scenes. Not only will this help you get refreshed in a way where your body can calm down on its own from the perils of pressure even without drinking water for quite a while, but also help you rejuvenated in a way where your body can cool down on its own from the perils of exhaustion even without taking a nice bath right away. Aside from that, having a few changes at your disposal anytime can make you easily adjust to whatever environment you are required to be in – no matter how hot a setting may be, no matter how cold a place may be.
Indeed, acting can be quite exciting. And indeed, especially if you bring these must-haves when acting.
How about you?
How is your acting going? How are your rehearsals going?

An 11 year-old boy with ADD was arrested after he drew stick figures. Such was the recommendation of his therapist — draw instead of disrupt the class. He drew stick figures of himself with a gun, pointed at four other stick figures with the words "teacher must die." He never threatened anyone, merely expressed a wish. A thought. As in the First Amendment.
Here's the story in its entirety. I hope you're sitting down.
An 11-year-old Arvada [Colorado] boy was arrested and hauled away in handcuffs for drawing stick figures in school – something his therapist told him to do.
His parents say they understand what he did was inappropriate, but are outraged by the way Arvada Police handled the case. The parents did not want their real names used.
They say "Tim" is being treated for Attention Deficit Disorder and his therapist told him to draw pictures when he got upset, rather than disrupt the class. So that's what he did.
Last October, he drew stick figures of himself with a gun, pointed at four other stick figures with the words "teacher must die."
He felt calmer and was throwing the picture away when the teacher saw it and sent him to the principal's office.
The school was aware that the boy was in treatment, determined he was not a threat, notified his parents and sent him back to class. His mother, "Jane" was shocked when Arvada Police showed up at their home later that night.
She says she told her son to cooperate and tell the truth, but was horrified when they told her they were arresting him and then handcuffed him and hauled him away in a patrol car. His mother says she begged police to let her drive her son to the police department and to let her stay with him through the booking process but they refused.
They put him in a cell, took his mug shot and fingerprinted him. He says he thought he was going to jail and would never be able to go home again.
According to the police report, "Tim" explained he made the drawing to release anger and would never hurt teachers or anyone. At first school officials did not want to press charges, but changed their mind when police called them later that night. A juvenile assessment report shows he's never been in legal trouble before and is at low risk to reoffend.
He's charged with a third degree misdemeanor, interfering with staff and students at an educational facility. The system says it's doing what's in the best interest of the child. But Tim's therapist says handcuffing an 11-year-old and putting him in a cell over something like this is "quite an overreaction" and does much more harm than good.
Arvada Police say because Monday was a holiday, they are not able to get hold of all the personnel and reports to make a response, but will be able to respond Tuesday. Tim is on probation and if he completes that successfully, the criminal charges will be dropped. But his parents say it has cost them thousands of dollars so far.
And if they had known that their son's cooperation would be used as evidence against him, they would have hired a lawyer at the beginning and exercised his right to remain silent.
And this happens every day with alarming frequency.

Standard Chartered: China's 7.5% Growth Target a Challenge

Ariana Grande on Her Chart-Topping 'The Way' and 'Crazy Adventures' of 'Sam & Cat' (Video)
Ask Nickelodeon star Ariana Grande about her acting efforts, and she'll smile sweetly, cheerfully discussing her role as eternal optimist Cat Valentine on Victorious and its upcoming spinoff, Sam & Cat.
"It's just about two girls who are very different becoming best friends and going on a crazy adventures together," she says of the forthcoming project, co-starring Jeanette McCurdy of iCarly and premiering on the kids' network in June.
But, Grande confesses, she doesn't think of herself as an actress. First and foremost, Grande is a musician.
PHOTOS: Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards 2013
Ask her about her chart-topping single "The Way" and impending album, and Grande lights up. With plenty to say on the topic, Grande tells The Hollywood Reporter about the lengthy journey of recording her debut album, what she looks for when choosing songs and the moment she discovered that her first single, featuring Mac Miller, hit No. 1 on the coveted iTunes chart.
"I recorded an entire album that is no longer the album," Grande confesses, adding that only a few select tracks from her first effort have transferred to the latest version.
"It took me a minute to find where I wanted to be musically, and now that I'm there, it's like one after the other we're coming up with these really great songs," she says. "If you're not the most excited about your song, then it won't do as well.
"Everytime I hear or cut a new song, I need to be dying over it," she continues. "I need to be in love with it and so proud of it, so obsessed with it, I think that's ultimately what's going to make my album the best debut album for me as possible."

Biel makes fun of Timberlake!
The 27-year-old health conscious actress Jessica Biel is so desperate to overhaul Timberlake's diet that she mocks him whenever he eats cheese or dessert, Look magazine reported.entertainment Updated: Sep 04, 2009, 16:24 IST
Hollywood actress Jessica Biel teases boyfriend Justin Timberlake about his food habits to make him shift to a healthier diet. The 27-year-old health conscious actress is so desperate to overhaul Timberlake's diet that she mocks him whenever he eats cheese or dessert, Look magazine reported.
"Jessica will always pick healthy starters on the menu and if Justin orders a dessert or cheese, she teases him. She's only joking but I'm sure it can get annoying if it's happening all the time," a source said. The 'Sexy Back' singer, who has been dating Biel for about two years, is said to be concerned that her desire to have a toned physique is turning into an obsession.
The 'Illusionist' star exercises for four hours a day six times a week, sometimes rising at 5.30am to fit in her gruelling work out sessions. "She starts each day with a jog, followed by two-hours of squats, bench presses, lunges and crunches. She also swims three times a week, and does yoga twice a week, as well as biking and boxing," the source said.

Crazy Redd's
Inside Crazy Redd's
|Furniture (prior to New Leaf)
|Opening Hours
|Main appearances
|Other appearances
Crazy Redd's, also known as the Black Market, is a store run by Redd, a fox with a shifty nature. The shop contains items that can also be bought from Tom Nook in his store, but for a higher price, as well as items sold exclusively by Redd which cannot be found anywhere else.
The shop also sells paintings which can be forgeries - these can be identified by Blathers, or when the player attempts to sell them. Most paintings (and all paintings beginning in New Leaf) are sold here.
In New Horizons, the store is replaced by the Jolly Redd's Treasure Trawler.
In Animal Crossing[edit]
In Animal Crossing, Crazy Redd's appears once a month in an undisclosed location. To enter, the player will receive a letter signed by Redd telling the player when the shop will appear. Copper at the Police Station tells the player the location of the shop.
In Animal Crossing: Wild World[edit]
In Wild World, the shop appears once a week outside Town Hall. The player will be sent a letter containing a password or, if the shop has not been visited, given a password by a villager in the town. When signing up for insurance with Lyle, the player will be asked about Redd and given days of the week as answers. The day chosen will be the day the shop appears. Lyle also sells insurance for forged paintings, which suggests these paintings are then returned to Crazy Redd's to be sold once again.
Exclusive items of furniture found only at Crazy Redd's, as well as genuine paintings, are worth 151 points each by the Happy Room Academy. Forged paintings are worth zero points.

In Animal Crossing: City Folk[edit]
In City Folk, Crazy Redd's appears as a small building in the city to the left down what villagers call a "dark alley", in what is described as a "shifty" part of the city. It is open from 10:00 AM to 1:00 AM. No one is allowed inside without an invitation, which must be given to the player by a villager in their town, or another playable character who has been given an invite by Redd himself. Even with an invitation, there is a one-time fee of 3,000 Bells to enter, but he gives the player 1,000 Bells for every player they send an invite card to that visits. Similar to previous games, the majority of the game's paintings can be bought only from Crazy Redd's. A number of these paintings can be forgeries, however, which can be identified by Blathers and Tom Nook. Usually, after traveling ahead in time, Crazy Redd's will be closed until the next Wednesday.
In Animal Crossing: New Leaf[edit]
In New Leaf, Crazy Redd's will have a tent in the Event Plaza, near the town tree. The player can also check for the presence of Redd's Tent by visiting the Police Station, where Booker or Copper will inform the player of his visit. He appears on a random day, except Sunday, and no more than once per week. He may not visit at all on a given week. The shop will only offer works of art. He sells four works of art at a time. Players can examine the item they want to buy. When a player makes a purchase, he does not give the item to them right there and then; instead, he marks it off as sold, and mails it to them, where it arrives the next day. Once players have made a decision, they cannot change the item; in addition to this, players can only purchase one work of art from Redd in a single day, even if they visit another town where his tent is set up.
In Gekijōban Doubutsu no Mori[edit]
In 🎬 Gekijōban Doubutsu no Mori, Crazy Redd's store is set up during the Fireworks Show. However, unlike the games, Redd is selling his goods outside of his tent, while his supplies are all hiding inside. Redd tricks Yu and Alfonso into purchasing a fake Golden Slingshot. Claiming that the fake Slingshot was rare, he actually had an entire box filled with them hiding inside his tent.
In Animal Crossing: City Folk[edit]
In City Folk, Redd's is the one out of two places paintings can be purchased. Another place is Tom Nook's though it is very rare. Any painting can appear at Redd's, but only the Basic Painting and the Common Painting can appear at Nook's. However, when buying paintings from Crazy Redd's, there is always a chance that the painting is a forgery. But paintings from Tom Nook are guaranteed to be genuine. This is found out when a player tries to donate or sell the item, in which case Blathers or Tom Nook will point out the duplicity. Forged paintings can be sold for 10 Bells, and have a Happy Room Academy value significantly less than that of the original painting.
In Animal Crossing: New Leaf[edit]
In New Leaf, as in Animal Crossing: City Folk, Redd's shop is the only place to obtain artwork, but he no longer sells furniture at his shop. Now it is possible to spot fakes in the art on display by looking closely at the details of the artwork. Players can also use the D-Pad to change the camera angle to get a better view of the artwork if required. If the player tries to sell Reese a forged piece of artwork, she will recognize it as such and charge a 100 Bell disposal fee like with any other junk item.

Egypt's EGX30 index falls after government signals delay to IPO programme
(Adds detail, quotes)
CAIRO, Oct 21 (Reuters) - Egypt's blue-chip EGX30 index fell more than 1 percent at the start of trading on Sunday after the government signalled a delay to its IPO programme.
The benchmark index was down 1.57 percent to 13,430 points by 0845 GMT.
The government said on Friday it would postpone a planned offering of 4.5 percent of tobacco producer Eastern Company , the first of several share sales including IPOs that were expected before year end.
The government said the delay was due to global market volatility. Shares in the company, which has a monopoly over the tobacco industry in Egypt, rose 3.3 percent on Sunday.
"The news of the offerings' postponement is certainly one of the reasons for the (index's) fall today because there was a confirmation for the offering and a set timetable," said Ibrahem Elnemr, head of technical analysis at the Cairo-based Naeem Brokerage.
The finance ministry said in September the Eastern Company share sale, expected to raise around 2 billion Egyptian pounds ($110 million), would kick off a planned IPO programme of more than 20 companies, including four this year.
"The delay was expected. What would push the government to offer now? The balance was difficult and this is not the appropriate time for the offerings," said head of research at Pharos Securities Brokerage, Radwa El-Swaify.
Egypt has been hit by a global emerging markets sell-off, as worries about growth undermined investors' appetite for risk.

Our minibus arrived in Kiev just before midnight. Although we hadn't reserved any lodgings for the evening, I'd read in Lonely Planet that there are loads of clean, cheap rooms available right inside the main train station – so I figured that showing up and finding a place would be relatively quick and painless.
Oops. I probably should've noticed that the bus and train stations are on opposite ends of the city 😐
Luckily, as we stood in the parking lot fumbling with the map and guidebook (and attempting to repel the countless ripoff taxis about which we'd been warned by some friendly young travelers), a sharply dressed Italian businessman – a furniture dealer from Moscow – came up to offer his assistance.
His first thought was to call a legitimate cab to take us to our hostel (at less than a tenth the cost of a "black taxi"). But when none were immediately available, he offered that we share his instead. Despite the fact that it was already past midnight, and that our best option was pretty far out of his way. He even went so far as to call the hostel to make sure we found it safe and sound. Nice guy!
Unfortunately the phone number listed in Lonely Planet didn't work, and no exact address was mentioned – it described the location simply as "right near the American embassy." But we didn't want to trouble the guy any further so we had him to drop us at the embassy, found our way there on foot, and checked into our first shared room of the trip.
Although I almost always stay in hostels while traveling alone, whenever Peder joins up we tend to go for private doubles instead – they do lack the social atmosphere of a hostel, but offer far more privacy and security for (typically) very little extra cost. And while I can't say I'd recommend IYH Kiev as one of the better spots I've patronized – the staff was pretty unhelpful and there were virtually no common facilities at all – I have to say that we really lucked out in the roomate department. We were placed with a pair of young Russian travelers here to promote their startup footwear business…who, as it turned out, were also fairly well-known DJ's at Kazantip. Kazantip, a festival Peder and I had been discussing just a couple hours earlier, and which we've been dying to check out ever since a friend sent me a link to its promotional video a few months back.
See the video here.
So even though we didn't check in until nearly 1am, rather than going to bed early and resting up for our first day of capital city tourism we ended up chatting and sharing photos until well after 3. By the time our two new friends finally said goodnight they'd offered us a room in their private 20-bedroom Kazantip "mansion," if we ever made our way out to the festival.
Now that's what I call a good couple of contacts! 😀

There is a right way to reshape the rules by which elections are run, and a wrong way. The parliamentary voting system and constituencies bill, which would pave the way for the introduction of the alternative vote, cutting the number of constituencies from 650 to 600 and transforming the way the Boundary Commissions work, is the wrong way. Unfortunately it has damaged not only the coalition and the opposition, but politics itself. It has been rushed through the Commons and filibustered in the Lords, a flawed process of scrutiny that has done little to improve a bill that wrongly shackled together two quite separate propositions. It is unrealistic to suppose constitutional reform could ever be motivated exclusively by an unpolluted pursuit of the ideal, but the country deserved better than this. Yet if, as now seems likely, it finally makes the statute book on Wednesday, it will be welcome, for it will at last pave the way for a referendum on electoral reform to be held with the local elections on 5 May. The danger is that the parliamentary tactics will colour the referendum debate.
The alternative vote is only a small and, arguably, imperfect advance, as our reporting of it today shows, but it is also a development of huge political significance that is indispensable if the creaking and tainted system of Westminster politics is to be reinvigorated. It offers the chance of change to voters who are crying out for it. But this may be jeopardised by the process of delivering it. Hitching constituency boundary reform, which will advantage the Conservatives, with the AV referendum, which is a direct boost to the Lib Dems, was a low but effective piece of political gamesmanship that left Labour in trouble. The constitution, as an abstract idea, has never been a first-order issue for voters, and all the less so when they are worried sick about their jobs and their pensions. Meanwhile the party itself is divided over AV, opposes the equalising of constituencies and has a strong case to make over the way the legislation culls MPs but not ministers, which will dangerously strengthen the executive. It is hardly surprising that such a complex message has failed to emerge from the hand-to-hand fighting in the Lords. But it leaves the party's modernisers on the back foot. Critics are wondering why, if Ed Miliband is really pro-AV and genuinely willing to engage with Lib Dems, he has allowed his peers to filibuster to the point where a referendum might be lost. They suspect the tribal urge to use every available weapon to damage the coalition has overwhelmed a more principled stand. That is one reason why he must come out fighting, soon. The other is more political: polls show the tide swinging towards a yes vote.

Philippines: Human Rights Superbody 'We will find no justice from the perpetrators'- indigenous peoples
Indigenous peoples' organization Kalipunan ng mga Katutubong Mamamayan ng Pilipinas (KAMP), described the 'superbody' created by the Aquino government to address the cases of extrajudicial killings and other human rights violations as "a feeble cover up to the growing list of human rights transgressions committed by State forces."
Last November, President Aquino created an Inter-Agency Committee (IAC) to handle cases of extra-judicial killings, enforced disappearances, torture and other forms of human rights abuses through Administrative Order 35. "We place no hope that the IAC will solve the cases of human rights violations, which is but a mere publicity ploy made by Aquino," KAMP spokesperson Piya Macliing Malayao said. "We will find no justice from the perpetrators."
The group questions the inclusion of the Armed Forces Chief of Staff, and the director of the Philippine National Police in the IAC. Both agencies are responsible to a number of human rights abuses, says the group. "Thirteen out of the 30 indigenous peoples killed under this administration, that includes 3 women and 4 children, were killed by elements of the AFP in seven incidents in the provinces of Rizal, Capiz, Agusan del Sur, Davao del Sur, Compostella Valley, Sultan Kudarat and South Cotabato. Justice for these slays are dim in under the IAC with the AFP at the helm," Malayao said.
The IAC is said to prioritize human rights violations committed under the Arroyo administration. "This is another non-admission that the human rights abuses are continuing. The killings and brutality did not stop, three years into the Aquino government. Until the Aquino government admits that the human rights abuse proliferates under his watch, and not dismiss these as 'leftist propaganda' the human rights abuses will continue," Malayao claimed.
Malayao added that the indigenous peoples suffered terrible blows to their human rights under the Aquino adminstration. "The condition of the human rights of indigenous peoples is the picture of the human rights situation in the Philippines: a portrait of grave abuses and brutal killings protected by the reign of impunity." The group cited the massacre of the Capion family in Davao del Sur last October. The Blaan family were leaders in the resistance against the entry of SMI-Xstrata mining operations in their ancestral lands, and were allegedly volleyed with gunfire by members of the 27th Infantry Batallion of the Philippine Army which killed Juvy Capion and her two children.
"Human rights violations against the indigenous peoples will escalate as long as the Aquino government continues to sell off our resources, especially mineral resources. Together with Oplan Bayanihan, these will continue to unleash brutal attacks against our people." Malayao said. "The cases of human rights violations will not be solved by the collusion of perpetrators, the respect for human rights will go hand and in hand with genuine development for the people."

The question of whether or not psychology is a science is not new. It's true that some aspects of psychotherapies, such as the psychoanalytic notion of repressed memory, have little or no basis in science. In their book Mistakes Were Made (But Not By Me), social psychologists Carol Tavris and Elliot Aronson showed how mental-health professionals wrongly diagnosed their patients with no prior memory of sexual abuse as having been molested. These therapists believed that hypnosis would recover the memory that had been repressed due to the trauma. In fact, hypnosis can create false memories. In addition, the failure to report traumatic experiences doesn't mean the memory was repressed. As psychologists and authors of 50 Great Myths of Popular Psychology note, even in those cases memory loss can be explained in terms of ordinary forgetting rather than repression. More critically, the authors explain that research actually shows that most people remember such traumatic experiences quite well in the form of disturbing flashbacks.
However, when science has been applied to the study of cognition and behavior, scientists have uncovered interesting phenomena through very clever experiments. This year, two fascinating classic psychological experiments have been portrayed in movies: Philip Zimbardo's Stanford prison experiment and Stanley Milgram's shock experiment. In this column, I'll discuss other interesting experiments in psychology.
The Morality of Babies
In one fascinating experiment conducted by developmental psychologists Karen Wynn, Paul Bloom, and colleagues at the Infant Cognition Center at Yale University, a baby watches a show with three puppet characters. The puppet in the middle has a ball and rolls to the puppet on the right, who rolls the ball back. Then, the ball is rolled for the puppet on the left who, instead of turning it back, runs away with it. End of the show. Then a researcher who isn't aware of each puppet's role in the play asks which one the baby prefers between the "nice" one (the one who turned the ball back) and "naughty" one (who ran away with the ball). In fact, developmental psychologists have conducted similar experiments with the same underlying aim: to verify if babies favor the helpful or the unhelpful "characters" over the others. The results have been consistent: about 80 percent of babies favor the good guy over the bad one. In a similar version of the experiment, the same show described previously was exhibited to each of the babies. In the end, the nice and bad puppets were put in front of the baby and a treat was placed in front of each puppet. In this version, the experimenter invited the baby to take one of the treats away. As expected from previous results, most babies in this experiment took the treat away from the bad puppet. More remarkable, as Paul Bloom says in his book Just Babies, the one-year-old baby "leaned over and smacked this puppet on the head"!
According to Paul Bloom, these experiments have shown that some aspects of morality come naturally to us, while others do not. What he proposes is that "certain moral foundations are not acquired to learning. They do not come from the mother's knee, or from school or church; they are instead the products of biological evolution." Just Babies is an excellent book that summarizes this and other studies psychologists have done with babies and children (Hamlin et al. 2007; 2011).
Altruism in Human Infants and Chimpanzees
Psychologists Felix Warneken and Michael Tomasello conducted a series of experiments where they presented eighteen-month-old human infants ten different situations in which an adult was having difficulties achieving a goal (Warneken and Tomasello 2006). Helping someone solve a problem is an interesting cognitive phenomenon because, in order to do so, one must know something about the goal as well as its current obstacles. The results of the experiment showed that infants helped humans in different kinds of situations, such as by handing several out-of-reach objects to the experimenter, completing the experimenter's stacking of books after his failed attempt, and opening the door of a cabinet when the experimenter's hands were full. It's remarkable that in almost all cases the infants helped immediately—they helped before the experimenter looked to them or verbalized his problem. Moreover, they helped without receiving any benefits. Warneken, Tomasello, and colleagues have also conducted similar tests with chimpanzees, in which all of them reliably retrieved objects for humans (Warneken and Tomasello 2006; 2009).
Morality of Primates
Primatologist Frans de Waal has studied moral behaviors in nonhuman primates. As de Waal explained in his TED Talk, for decades it was assumed that only humans could care about the welfare of others. However, research has shown this is wrong. In an experiment, two chimpanzees were put in separate but proximate cages. In one of the cages, there is a basket with several tokens. There are two types of tokens identified by color. Only one of the chimps selects a token and delivers it to the researcher. The token-selector chimp always receives a food award. However, according to the token chosen, the other chimp does or doesn't receive food. If the chimp chooses the "selfish" token, only she receives the food reward. If the chimp chooses the "prosocial" token, both of them receive food. It's remarkable that, if the non-selector chimp applies some pressure (by spitting water for example), the selector chimp decreases her selection for the prosocial token, punishing the other monkey for bad behavior (Brosnan and de Waal 2003).
In another experiment, de Waal and his colleagues put two capuchin monkeys side by side in different cages. The monkeys were asked to do a simple task: to give back a small rock they received from a researcher. After they did it, they received a food reward. When the first monkey completed the task, she received a slice of cucumber. The other monkey also performed the same task but received a grape. The remarkable behavior happened when the first monkey performed that same task again and continued to receive the cucumber instead of grape that the other monkey had received. Since capuchin monkeys often prefer grape to cucumber, the monkey feeling the injustice threw the cucumber on the researcher (Horner et al. 2011)!
Cognition in Dogs
Evolutionary anthropologist Brian Hare, developmental psychologist Michael Tomasello, and other scientists have shown in several experiments that dogs are very good at understanding human cues such as gazing or pointing. In one experiment, a piece of food was hidden without the dog's awareness in one of two opaque cups. Then the experimenter points to the correct cup and lets the dog choose a cup. Dogs were able to locate the hidden food above the levels of chance. Experiments of this kind have also been done with chimpanzees, which have performed worse than dogs. In all of these tests, scientists have controlled for other possible cues that dogs were using, such as smell of foods or even attraction to motion. The dogs also were able to locate food using cues they never had seen before, such as a researcher pointing with a foot. They also identified the right cup even when the experimenter walked toward the other cup while pointing in the right direction (Hare and Tomasello 2005).
Scientists wondered why dogs have these remarkable skills, and several hypotheses were developed. First, dogs could learn to read human gestures as they grow up along with humans. However, tests have shown that even nine-week-old puppies performed as well as adult dogs. In addition litter-reared puppies, which have little human contact, performed just as well as puppies adopted by humans. Another possible explanation is that this ability was inherited from dogs' ancestry. This also turned out to be wrong because wolves performed worse than dogs in understanding human communication intention (Hare and Tomasello 2005).
So, the last hypothesis remained: Did these skills evolve during domestication? The likely answer came from a big and brilliant experiment that started fifty-five years ago and continues today. In 1959, geneticist Dmitry Belyaev was interested in domestication and performed an experiment with two groups of foxes. In the control group, foxes were bred randomly. In the other group, the experimental line, a human tried to touch the foxes when they were seven months old. The fox kits that were friendly toward the human were bred with kits that showed the same behavior; fox kits that showed fear or even aggression toward humans were not bred. As Brian Hare and Vanessa Woods explain in their book The Genius of Dogs, after forty-five generations when Hare visited Belyaev's creatures, the results were remarkable: some foxes (in the experimental group) had floppy ears, others had curled tails. In addition, the "experimental" foxes wagged their tails to him as he walked through their rooms. More critically, experimental foxes were much better at reading human gestures than the control group foxes, which performed as badly as wolves or chimpanzees (Hare et al. 2005). Hare and Woods are clear in their book about the results of these experiments: "Belyaev's experiment had changed the foxes' ability to read human gestures as a direct result of experimental domestication. Domestication, selecting the friendliest foxes for breeding, had caused cognitive evolution."
Today, there are laboratories dedicated to study dog cognition, such as Duke Canine Cognition Center1, founded by Brian Hare, and the recently opened Canine Cognition Center2 at Yale University.

A tablet is great for what it's designed to do. What it's NOT nice for is reading. A pill's reflective display causes glare, and since it is not backlit the light shines into your eyes. It's high quality for studying a few articles, however reading quite a lot of pages of a book on a pill causes eye strain, which often causes headaches.

We're proud to share with you a specialist blog post, giving you a valuable insight into the world of wedding floristry. This post was written by Izzy of Great British Florist so listen up because she knows her stuff. Take it away Izzy.
So, you've sorted the venue, you've booked the caterer, you've found THE dress and now you're sitting back, relaxing with a nice cold Gin and Tonic and are completely stress free. No? Okay so you may not be that chilled but you are certainly thinking of all these things so that's the thing that counts!
Now you may have considered your wedding flowers already, you may have completely forgotten about them – either way, flowers will almost definitely make an appearance at your wedding.
Hopefully this guide will help you along the way to choosing the flowers for your Wedding Party. Mainly taking into consideration, The Bride, The Groom, The Bridesmaids, The Ushers, The Mothers, The Fathers, The Little Flower Girls, The Little Best Man and even the Trusty Family Dog.
♥ Bridal Bouquet – First and foremost, have you had a think about your bouquet? Have you considered size, small, medium large? Or whether you would like a Hand-Held Posy or a Tear-Drop style bouquet? Remember this will be in all your wedding photos and will sit on top of your TV for the next 30 years so take your time choosing. Give your florist a call to have a chat about things and run through ideas.
Next thing is colour. Flowers come in all shapes, sizes and colours so will never be short of choice. However, if your wedding is a particular shade of mauve, remember that flowers are natural so a florist cannot always guarantee that that particular shade will be available – they will do their very best to get something similar though! You can also have a think about how you would like the bouquet tied – whether its quite tight, or quite loose, and would you like it tied and pinned with pearls or buttons or even little keepsakes can always be incorporated. Whatever you decide, do take your time – you'll thank yourself later.
♥ Bridal Headdress – If you are thinking of going for something a bit different, then why not consider a Bridal Headdress for your wedding? They can be as big or as small as you like and can incorporate many different flowers and features.
♥ Bridesmaids Bouquets – These are a relatively simple choice as they usually are smaller versions of your own bouquet. However, do not for one second think that this is the 'right' way to do it. If you want multi-colored, carnival-style headdresses for each of them then you go ahead! If you are having quite a few bridesmaids, then it can start to get quite pricey – have a think about maybe having wrist corsages for each of them. They look fantastic and stay on the wrist for the whole day rather than being put down. Its probably best to always choose these after you have chosen your own, this way you have a design to follow.
♥ Buttonholes – Once you have carefully chosen your Best Man and all your very well behaved Ushers, you can think about Buttonholes and how many you would like. You should also bear in mind Fathers and perhaps Grandfathers when deciding on a number. Again, there is no right or wrong way of doing it so do not worry. With regards to how it looks, have a think about something different, maybe some berries, or pinecones, or feathers. Talk it through with your florist, they will be sure to have so brilliant ideas to keep the theme running through your wedding with the buttonholes.
♥ Corsages – Very similar to the buttonholes but it is usually just the mothers that wear them. Corsages are normally very similar to the buttonholes only perhaps a little prettier, maybe with some Gypsophila or little flecks of pink Heather, just to show the feminine difference. They also tend to be slightly larger than the Buttonholes but there is no regimented size guide to follow.
♥ Flower Girl – It may be an American trend but the little flower girl is becoming increasingly popular here in the UK. You can do some absolutely darling things with flowers for them. A little basket of flower petals to sprinkle down the aisle can be beautiful, a Wand that is adorned with flowers is great fun and quite reasonable usually.
♥ Thank you Bouquets – are a wonderful surprise to give to people who have helped tremendously with the wedding. They are usually given on the day of the wedding during the speeches so there is a considerable amount of recognition for the particular persons effort.
And that is pretty much it for the Bridal Party. However, if you do have any wonderful and fantastic ideas then just have a chat with your florist. Florists are usually always willing to try something new so if you do have an idea, then don't feel silly asking, just ask they will be more than willing to help.
Part 2 coming soon…Venue Wedding Flowers.

Since we had long, long drive through Poland and we all were tired we decide to drive "slower". Making more pit stops along the way. We didn't want to develop disgust for traveling to our girls… It was hard. It seams that I also need time "off the car" and we stopped every 30-50 km 🙂
We start from Łozina in Poland at 10 am and had in Hellingen at 9pm. It's a bit more than 600 kilometers. It wasn't easy but we are here. Visiting family friends and relaxing. We had wonderlull evening together and we are happy that decided to go there first and then to Berlin. We wanted to go to Berlin today… but that's another story 🙂

ITALIAN Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has arrived in court for his corruption trial on charges he bribed a witness to lie in another trial.
It is the premier's fourth court appearance in recent months. He has pledged to appear as often as official duties allow to defend himself in four active cases.
Most spectacularly, Berlusconi is on trial for allegedly paying an under-age prostitute and using his influence to cover it up. In two other cases, he is accused of tax fraud.
Berlusconi's appearance today coincides with commemorations honouring magistrates killed by domestic terrorists. A handful of demonstrators gathered outside in support of magistrates, whom Berlusconi regularly attacks as biased.

Internet Access
Internet access is no longer a luxury for modern businesses, it is an absolute necessity. But how do you choose the solution that's right for you? You have the option of choosing a DSL line, a cable modem or a T1 – what are the benefits/drawbacks of each? How do you know that making that 2 or 3 year term commitment is not going to hurt you a year from now?
These are all important questions that need to be asked before committing to an Internet solution, and we are here to help provide the answers you need. While a face-to-face discussion or phone conversation is best when trying to decide on an Internet solution, below is a brief tutorial on some of the general options most businesses have to choose from. We are capable of providing any of these services and have working relationships with many major ISP's to assist with integration into your network.
At one time there were hundreds of DSL companies offering service, but over time that field has narrowed to just a few. The 3 most common providers you will find now are AT&T/Yahoo, Verizon and Covad.
DSL lines come in different flavors of price and speed. Usually, base DSL lines offer download speeds of 768Kbps and upload speeds of 128Kbps and peak at around the 6Mbps mark. These lines are known as ADSL lines, or (A)synchronous DSL lines. SDSL, or (S)ynchronous DSL lines offer equal download and upload speeds, similar to a T1 line. Usually SDSL lines cost substantially more than ADSL lines and are becoming more and more scarce.
Generally, residences are good ADSL candidates, as mostly web surfing and downloading of files is done at home. Businesses usually opt for SDSL lines, as hosting web sites, running a mail server, and accessing data remotely perform best with greater upload bandwidth.
Cable can be installed into businesses depending on the building and service area. Usually, these companies will require an existing coax run to the building, so verifying this with the local cable provider is necessary before this option should be considered. Once service is established, cable Internet offers speeds equal to, and sometimes greater than DSL lines, albeit with the drawback of using a "shared" pool of bandwidth with other customers in your area.
A T1 line, therefore, is ideal for businesses that cannot get DSL or Cable Internet access, or need the reliability, SLA and synchronous upload/download speeds a T1 line provides.
T1 lines are established via 3rd party providers, such as Covad or Telepacific, or or directly with the phone company such as AT&T or Verizon. Once service is established, T1 offers speeds of 1.5Mbps, and offer synchronous upload and download speeds. T1's can be bonded to provide greater bandwidth, such as using two bonded T1's to provide double the capacity, or 3Mbps up/down.
Wireless connections are ideal for people needing a rapid implementation of service, as most installations can be done in as little as 2 days, as opposed to DSL or Cable's 2 weeks, or T1's 4 weeks. Wireless connections are also more affordable than a T1, and scale to higher bandwidths.
Usually, satellite Internet is a "last resort" of sorts for those who cannot receive any other traditional type of broadband Internet. Anyone who has a clear view of the southern sky can receive service, therefore even someone in the middle of nowhere can get broadband Internet access.
Satellite Internet has 2 major drawbacks from traditional broadband, however.
First, because the Internet signals need to travel from the earth, 250 miles up into space, then 250 miles back down, satellite is a very "laggy" service. Meaning that requests for information can take as long as 4 to 6 seconds, as opposed to terrestrial services taking as few as 30 milliseconds. This lag causes web surfing delays, and prevents any type of low ping activities such as remote access and gaming.
Second, satellite service costs much more per month, and much more in initial equipment costs than terrestrial service.

Divergent & Convergent Thinking:
We worked on Stations today with some new elements. One of them was a creative thinking activity called, "Think, Turn, and Think Again!" Lots of divergent thinking there! We also continued our work on logical thinking with a new type of logic puzzle and a Versa-Tiles activity. A very productive time!
Algebraic Thinking:
We continued our Hands-On-Equations today. Returning students were able to finish up our lesson on complicated Legal Move and explore some algebra websites. New students moved on to Lesson 2 which introduces the X for a variable to solve equations.
In small groups, we read picture books exploring some of the different social/emotional issues gifted kids can face such as: being the last to finish, not being a good speller, and being a "wiggler". We'll keep reading these until each of the groups has read every book.
We continued our STEM Project-Building a Bird Feeder. Today we tried an experiment to pick up bird food (plastic beads) with toothpicks and forks (bird beaks) to see how tough it might be for the birds. We discussed how the different tools and a cup to hold the "bird food" made the task easier.
HW: Investigate bird feeders. Draw and/or describe what you find out. (At least one example.)
Until next week,
Mrs. Kraeger

Lancer for 2011 – A revised lineup, enhanced efficiency and higher technology
The return of the Lancer GT, an upgraded engine and hands free high-tech Bluetooth®
MISSISSAUGA, Ont. (October, 2010) – The reintroduction of the popular Lancer GT, an enhanced and more efficient engine, improved fuel economy, added safety features and available high-tech convenience summarize the key changes to the 2011 Lancer lineup.
For 2011, the always popular Lancer – Mitsubishi's front wheel drive, four door, five passenger fuel efficient compact sedan – is offered in three distinct trim levels – Lancer DE, the most affordable Lancer. Lancer SE, which features a long and impressive list of standard equipment and Lancer GT, reintroduced for 2011, and offering even more luxury and sporting style. All three Lancer choices remain truly contemporary vehicles designed from the ground up to provide the absolute best in safety, performance, innovation and Mitsubishi value.
What's new for 2011 – selected items
Lineup Changes: Popular Lancer GT model reintroduced; GTS model discontinued.
Powertrain: Improved fuel efficiency from updated 2.0 litre engine.
Steering: Electric Power Steering (EPS).
Interior: Bluetooth® 2.0 hands-free cellular phone interface with streaming audio and USB audio input with voice control (SE and GT models).
Packages: Sun & Spoiler Package option for SE model.
Safety: All models feature Brake Assist System (BAS).
Powertrain – Setting world class standards for efficiency
Lancer features a updated version of Mitsubishi's famous 4B11 four cylinder, inline powerplant. This fuel efficient 2.0 litre, aluminum block & head, 16 valve, DOHC, MIVEC equipped engine produces 148 hp @ 6000 rpm and 145 lb-ft of torque @ 4200 rpm and runs on regular unleaded fuel. The powerband is engineered so that the torque curve is relatively flat from 2200 rpm all the way up to just below the 6500 rpm redline. New features include resin coated pistons and smoother surface camshafts for reduced friction and improved fuel economy. Standard transmission is a crisp shifting 5speed manual. Optional is the Sportronic® CVT, a seamless and truly efficient automatic. GT models even include steering wheel mounted magnesium alloy paddle shifters that allow the CVT to shift gears like a sixspeed manual transmission. These engine/transmission combinations provide a surprising level of performance and excellent fuel consumption.
Chassis & Safety – A top priority for handling and protection
Built on the Mitsubishi global performance platform, Lancer's highly rigid unibody makes extensive use of high strength steel. This RISE (Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution) unibody structure disperses energy loads during side and rear collisions and controls distortion, enhancing occupant protection and helping to protect the fuel system in the event of a rear impact. All 2011 Lancers feature advanced dual front air bags with occupant seat position sensors, side-impact head protection curtain airbags (for front and rear occupants), front seatmounted side airbags, driver's side knee air bag, interior head impact protection and active front seat structure to reduce whiplash injury. Also standard are height adjustable front shoulder belts with pretensioners, three point seat belts and head restraints for all occupants and steel side guard door beams. Rear doors have child safety locks and a LATCH system is installed for child restraint systems (CRS). An anti-theft engine immobilizer is standard, plus all models have a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). Anti-lock braking (ABS) with electronic brake-force distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist System (BAS) is standard. And for 2011, all Lancer models feature Active Stability Control (ASC) and Traction Control Logic (TCL).
Suspension system – Euro inspired sophistication
Assuring that every Lancer stays in touch with the road is a sophisticated eurotype suspension system designed to deliver world class handling characteristics. The front suspension employs MacPherson struts, while the rear suspension is a multi-link design that features separate coil springs and shocks. Stabilizer bars are used front and rear (SE and GT only), and all of this combines to deliver precise steering, excellent vehicle balance and superior ride and handling. Using separate coil springs and shock absorbers also helps to maximize the trunk room. Road wheels for SE and GT models are an attractive aluminum alloy with 205/60 R16 all season tires, while DE models use steel wheels with full wheel covers. Electric Power Steering (EPS) with 3.09 turns lock to lock is new for 2011 and provides excellent road feel and improved efficiency. Braking is handled superbly by large ventilated front discs and solid rear discs with standard ABS.
Exterior Features – Fashion on the move
Styling for the four door Lancer sedan is attractively contemporary with gently flowing lines contrasting with subtly bold details. All models feature autooff halogen highlights, variable intermittent wipers with washer, rear combination tail lights, side marker lamps, side air dams, a short pole antenna, high mount rear stop lamp, rear window defroster with timer, green laminated windshield and solar UV control front door glass. Lancer SE and GT models include a chrome accented front grill, colour keyed power side mirrors and door handles, a front air dam and classically styled 16 inch aluminum alloy road wheels with 205/60R16 all season tires.
Interior Features – Comfort and Convenience
Inside, the welcoming interior is characterized by clean, crisp surfaces and high quality materials marked by careful attention to detail. Controls are perfectly placed. The instrument panel is pleasing, with a silver painted meter bezel. A multiinformation display meter cluster (monochrome for DE and SE, colour LCD for GT models) includes a trip meter and odometer, outside temperature, average fuel consumption, driving distance to empty, service reminder drive mode indicator, A/T position indicator, water temperature warning lamp and low fuel warning. Convenience items include power windows with driver's side auto up/down, tilt height-adjustable steering column, a central door locking system and a remote trunk and fuel lid release. All models feature micron air filtration, door trim cloth inserts, height adjustable rear seat headrests, front cup holders, door trim pocket (x2) with integrated bottle holders (500 ml), cockpit 12 volt outlets (DE models x1, SE and GT models x2), cabin and trunk lamps, ashtray and a trunk entrapment release handle. Lancer SE and GT models also feature heated front seats, rear heater floor ducts, a 60/40 split folding high back rear seat, centre console box with armrest lid, driver's side seatback pocket, rear armrest with cup holders and front map lamps.
And it all just fits together. Lancer DE and SE models feature a 140-watt CD/MP3 head unit with 4 speakers, digital signal processor and speed compensated volume and equalization control; while GT models boast a 710Watt (max) Rockford-Fosgate Punch® premium sound system with nine speakers including 10-inch trunk mounted subwoofer, digital signal processor, speed compensated volume and equalization. A 6CD/MP3 in-dash head unit and SIRIUS satellite radio with 6 months complimentary subscription are included with the Rockford audio package. Additional features for Lancer SE and GT models include steering wheel mounted cruise and audio controls, Bluetooth( 2.0 – the new for 2011 handsfree system with USB connectivity allows phone calling/receiving, wireless music streaming and voice command (artist, album, playlist or genre) and an MP3/Auxiliary stereo input jack.
And to keep things cool and comfortable, SE models have manual airconditioning plus 6way driver and 4way front passenger adjustable seats. Lancer GT models feature automatic climate control, 6way driver and 4way front passenger Sport Bucket adjustable seats, leather seating surfaces, a leather wrapped steering wheel, shift knob and parking brake handle, rear spoiler, plus a power glass sunroof.
Extra Cost Packages
Sun & Spoiler Package: Offered on SE models only. Includes a power glass sunroof with sunshade and a rear wing spoiler.

Unless you are a part of the estimated 1% of humans who are asexual, dating and romantic relationships make up a big part of your life.
Whether you are single or in a relationship right now, this is an area which deserves some attention.
People who have been single for a while can become complacent with a situation they may not like. People who have been in a relationship for a while are likely to have lost some of the romance and fire that was present in the beginning.
Either way, as humans, we crave some degree of excitement with regards to the romance in our lives. With that in mind, today's exercise is to schedule/go on a date.
Single guys: You have a couple options here. You can call up that girl who you've been thinking of calling for a week but haven't worked up the cojones to yet.
If you have any romantic prospects, feel free to call them as well. The most exciting option though, in my opinion, would be to approach a girl you've never met before and get her to go on a date with you.
Taken guys: Have you gone out for a night on the town with your girlfriend recently?
If you haven't done anything interesting with her, take her out somewhere. Change it up a bit. Routine is BORING! So if you have gone to the movies every Sunday for the past two months, go ice-skating instead.
Single ladies: Same as single guys above, but most likely you will find this easier.
Taken ladies: It's ok to be the one who initiates something in your relationship. Yes, generally speaking, the man is "supposed" to take the lead.
But for the purposes of this, make something happen yourself. You will be happier for introducing a little variety into your relationship.
"Great, Mike. I'd love to have a dating life again, but I have no money!"
Especially for the fellas out there, expensive dates are just about the worst thing you can do if you want to ingratiate yourself with that lady you are thinking about (unless you have been in a relationship for a while, in which case an expensive treat occasionally is fine).
When you buy her an expensive dinner or gift, she might feel like she is "obligated" to do something for you in return. Obligation is powerfully un-sexy.
And if you don't know her very well, what has she done to warrant you spending so much money on her? Aren't you a catch too? Or do you have to try and "bribe" her into being attracted to you?
In case you can't think of any good, cheap date ideas, here's a few: coffee or tea, a walk in the park, a home cooked meal, hiking, go to a public place and chat, volunteer somewhere together, ice-skating, or go to Walmart at night and play with the toys together.
Obviously there are about a million other things you could do, so feel free to be creative. The point for today is simply to do something.
Move on to Day 28: Learn To Apologize.

Financial blogger Felix Salmon wants to know why there isn't regulatory oversight of Mint and other financial management websites, especially if they're going to sell data created from their users' transaction histories.
Mint's CEO Aaron Patzer spoke at SXSW on Saturday and said that the company is sitting on a gold mine of customer data that it may or may not sell.
Mint's Terms of Service point out that in order to provide a service to you, it must access your accounts, but that it does so as your agent and not as an agent of any financial institutions. I couldn't find any mention of aggregate data or of how Mint would use such data with outside partners or customers, though.
