PANAJI: Noted fusion artist and playback singer Remo Fernandes, summoned by police for allegedly threatening a minor girl who was hit by his son's car, has surrendered his Indian citizenship and became a Portuguese national, police said today.
"We have confirmed that Remo has already surrendered his Indian passport and taken Portuguese nationality due to which we will have to issue him summons through the embassy," police inspector Jivba Dalvi told PTI today. The officer said police did not know when did Remo surrender his Indian citizenship as he is currently touring Europe.
He said police have already submitted the summons to the Foreigner Regional Registration Office (FRRO) which will forward it to the embassy. Police had yesterday issued another summons to Remo and Jonah as they failed to appear before the Agassaim police station in response to first summons issues earlier, on account of his Europe trip.
Remo was told to appear before the investigating officer tomorrow at 4 PM and his son at 10 AM. The 62-year-old singer has been accused of threatening the girl at the state-run Goa Medical College and Hospital on December 3, where she is undergoing treatment after she was allegedly knocked down by a vehicle driven by his son Jonah.
According to police, the incident occurred on December 2 when the girl was walking towards Old Goa to complete her vow to St Francis Xavier when she was allegedly hit by Jonah's car.
Jonah was booked for rash driving. The singer has dismissed the charge against him as fabricated.

Smile, Wink, Pray: Brands Decode the Enigma of Emojis
Symbols are key to social media marketing
Marketers want to decode one of the social Web's most cryptic languages: emojis.
The digital hieroglyphics, which convey users' thoughts and moods by way of hearts and smiley-faced poop across dozens of platforms, are increasingly becoming a big part of the social conversation. Twitter last year incorporated emojis for the first time, while Instagram this past April introduced emoji hashtags. Characters now make up 40 percent of messaging on networks like Instagram and Twitter, according to a Business Insider Intelligence report.
This added layer of consumer sentiment yields a bounty of information for marketers, which is why advertisers are hiring third-party data sifters to help them make sense of what heart-shaped eyes mean for their brand.
"Clients of ours definitely care about them," said Ali Ardalan, director of product and strategy at Sprinklr, a social marketing software company. "Customers are using them to figure out how the campaign is performing and what the feedback is on the brand and also on the customer service side."
One company focused on emoji tracking, theAmplify, hires influencers for campaigns that appear on Instagram and Snapchat, and then monitors social responses.
"We're building a tool to understand how emojis and words combined create emotional conversations," said Justin Rezvani, CEO of theAmplify. "It's a comprehensive system that analyzes what words and emojis fall in certain orders and what that means."
Rezvani says his company can search comments on a brand's Instagram page and identify all the emojis used. It has deployed emoji analyses on movie releases like Insurgent and Poltergeist and for app makers including Tastemade City.
For Insurgent, theAmplify hired top In-stagrammers to post videos of their reactions as part of a virtual-reality campaign. Emoji responses were mostly laughing faces and hearts. "The sentiment is really based upon how audiences feel about the content they are engaging with from the influencers," Rezvani pointed out.
In the campaign for the Tastemade app, influencers posted pictures of their favorite foods at different restaurants. Emojis of hands together and clapping hands were among the most employed, indicating approval.
Digital marketers say the more emojis, the better. "A vast majority of emoji usage is positive," said Noah Brier, CEO of Percolate, a marketing software firm.
Eric Beane, VML's North American managing director of analytics and insights, works with social media-savvy brands including Gatorade and Wendy's. He said Instagram can be tough to mine for information about emojis because oftentimes users simply use a range of symbols without any clear pattern or reason.
"When you start looking at emojis and emoticons"—a typographic recreation of a facial expression—"you have to try to read entire sentences or the entire chain of a conversation to understand what does that even mean," Beane explained.
A terrified-face emoji is a welcome reaction to a horror movie campaign, but negative in most other contexts, he pointed out. Praying hands could convey begging for a product—or begging for it to go away.
With an estimated 12,500 emojis tweeted every minute, there's little doubt that advertisers will want to continue to glean meaning from them.
"Emoji usage is an evolution of how the younger mobile consumer communicates," Percolate's Brier said, "so it's logical for brands to follow those conversations."

Skip to 0 minutes and 13 seconds Security and privacy are personal issues. As we end this week, we'll leave you with a discussion that I had with members of the course team around the strategies that we make use of from day to day. When I'm registering for a new account on a website somewhere, when I'm asked to create a new password, clearly it's a bad idea to create the same one, to use the same one over and over again. And you don't want to write the passwords down either. So an alternative is to use a password manager, which takes away all the worry of remembering all those different passwords but maintains them and keeps them secure.
Skip to 0 minutes and 50 seconds Charles, do have any other suggestions for what you would do to manage your risk? Yes. So in a similar way that you can use different passwords, I tend to use different email addresses. So at the moment, I'm usually managing around 15 different email addresses. And each email address will be associated with the level of security or for the level of sensitivity. So on a website I don't really trust, I'm going to use a specific email address that if this one is compromised or leaked, it's not a big issue. But for my bank, for instance, or for my work email, I'm going to use email addresses that are very sensitive in that they are not shared everywhere.
Skip to 1 minute and 30 seconds Another way that you can compartmentalise security is to use different credit cards for different purposes. One simple way to do this, which I like to do, is to use one card for domestic purchases and one for purchases abroad. That way it's very easy to see yourself that an unusual payments appeared, for example, a payment abroad on your domestic card or a domestic payment on your card abroad. And it also makes it easy for the bank's fraud detection algorithm as well. Yes.
Skip to 2 minutes and 0 seconds Picking up on that point, another example that I can think of is when you want to send some private information to a friend, for example your bank account number, then it would make sense to split it into two, send half of it via SMS and half of it by another app, like WhatsApp. That way if one of them gets compromised, you at least lose only half of your private info. So is it possible for communications to ever be 100% secure? That's a good question. I think for me it's about understanding what level of security and what properties each of these tools provide.
Skip to 2 minutes and 48 seconds So for example, if you're using encryption, that means your communication is safe between the sender and the receiver only in transit. But that doesn't guarantee what's going to happen on the other side or it doesn't guarantee if, indeed, you're talking to the person you think you are. A good example of how that could be a problem is something that happened to me recently. I was staying at a hotel in Bangkok. And I'd made the payment securely over the website. For this payment, the end to end security was fine. However when the hotel received the payment, a receptionist simply printed out the details and stored them on a piece of paper in a folder in reception.
Skip to 3 minutes and 34 seconds So the online security was fine. But when the details got there, they weren't secure at all. Yes. I think the key word here is trust. So how much do you trust the website or the services you're communicating with? So if I do some purchases on Amazon or EBay, I tend to trust them very much because I know that they have mechanisms for refunds. If anything goes wrong, I can talk to someone and I know it's going to be sorted out.
Skip to 4 minutes and 3 seconds But if I need to use a website on a far point in the world or a small website I never used before, what I want to do is, I don't know, maybe search for this website plus some keyword like trust or fraud or incident. And if anything comes up, it can be a good signal that something wrong has happened in the past with this website. So that covers a lot of our interactions online. Is there anything that you would do to increase the security for your own personal data? Yes. I think you first have to understand what is the most sensitive data you have. I mean, you can have some music or video that might not be very sensitive.
Skip to 4 minutes and 45 seconds But for instance, I have to deal with exam scripts that are very sensitive. And for this, I will create a special folder on my laptop that I can encrypt. It's very easy to do on most modern system. And I would only encrypt and decrypt this particular folder. If anything happens to my laptop, if it's stolen or lost, then I know at least this particular sensitive information is secure. Another thing that's important to think about when it comes to personal documents is the balance between security and reliability. In some cases it may be more important that you have access to the document than stopping other people from having access.
Skip to 5 minutes and 21 seconds So then you need to also think about strategies to do with backups, both for the data and the passwords, even if that slightly reduces your security. So those are some of the things which the course team do to increase their security. There may be things that you do as well. Why don't you tell us about them.
Staying safe online: personal perspectives
As we reach the end of this week we will leave you with a conversation between some of the course team about how they stay safe online.
We will see you next week when we explore online payments with the help of our colleague Dr Martin Emms.
Before you move on, you might like to check your progress, and ensure you have marked all of this week's steps as complete.

|Heavy clouds hang over Hangzhou, capital city of east China's Zhejiang Province, as Typhoon Haitang approaches
Three of the deaths were reported in China, where Typhoon Haitang slammed into the coastal provinces of Fujian and Zhejiang Tuesday and caused more than one million people to flee their homes.
Typhoon Haitang earlier left a trail of destruction in Taiwan. It washed away roads and caused more than $14 million in damage to the island's agricultural sector.
Taiwanese authorities say the death toll has risen to 12 from four reported earlier.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Call it a hoppy Monday for West Side fans of La Cumbre Brewing.
Owners of the business toasted the the new enterprise at a Sunday soft opening at the new location at Coors and Montaño.
Monday was the first regular day for the taproom, which is in the same retail center where Sprouts grocery store is the anchor tenant.
The Albuquerque craft brewing company has 18 taps on offer at the new establishment, according to its Facebook page.
La Cumbre began as a small operation in 2010 with five part-time employees and has since expanded to over 40 full-time workers. The company also maintains a taproom in the brewery district at 3313 Girard NE. It was extensively renovated in 2014, but until now, the company had not opened additional taprooms around the city, as many of its competitors hade done.

Calvin Klein
Richard Klein
Date: born 1942
Biography: One of America's most famous designers, Calvin Klein is known for streamlined clothes, designer jeans, underwear, and provocative advertising campaigns. Klein, a 1962 graduate of the Fashion Institute of Technology, launched his clothing company in 1968. Soon thereafter, his work caught the attention of a merchandising manager from the prestigious and chic Bonwit Teller, which displayed Klein's creations in its windows. From the beginning, Klein intended his clothes to look and feel "easy" and "free," but also luxurious. "Couture" materials, such as cashmere, camel hair, and crepe gabardine, as well as fine leather, suede, line, and silk, were integral to his design sensibility. His subdued palette of neutral tones also made him popular with a sophisticated clientele.

Yet another long section, which I should just suck it up and expect from now til the end. :p
A brief meeting with Larry, to share some info. "When I smile no one can tell." Heh.
We also see more of Rastov and Quicklime, quickly moving up to join Graymalk as a major co-operator with Snuff. More references to Quicklime living in Rastov's stomach, and just getting out in time. Ugh. XD That's a concept I'll admit I'm not really familiar with, snakes living in someone's stomach, although it sounds similar to some urban legends I've seen.
Looking into some of the details of Rasputin, one problem with the Rasputin = Rastov thing is that if we do assume this takes place in 1887, he'd only have been 18 years old. Although apparently until recently there was doubt as to his actual birth date so... Meh, I have a feeling Zelazny kinda handwaved the dates thing, anyhow, but blah. How can we be geeky about it, in that case?
Also we find out that apparently people can divine whether others are Openers or Closers, so chances are it'll all come out soon. And yes, as desdenova said, here it mentions that the losing side is (supposed to be) wiped out by the backlash at the end of things. Ouch.
We find out that Quicklime, wise as a serpent (heh), managed to get Needle drunk the previous night and find out about the Count's other locations, which means Snuff does indeed get to recalculate. And apparently "seeing snakes" is akin to seeing pink elephants when one is drunk, although I'd never heard that one.
We also get a small broody sequence where Snuff ponders about the Elder Gods (actually named as such for the first time in the book, I believe), and the beauties of nature, yadda. Followed up by more talk about Rastov, and references such as Pushkin (I guess one of Rastov's favorites?), the Alhazred Icon which Rastov has (which after looking it up links this book even more to the Lovecraftian stuff, not that it needed it), mention of the shores of Hali (which I still don't get)...
And this leads into the Big Reveal that's been foreshadowed already, which is that Snuff and Jack are Closers. And so, apparently, are Rastov and Quicklime. This is also followed by Drama, as the pair reach the Count's other resting place, and find a skeleton with a stake through its chest. Oopsie.
As if all this isn't enough, Jack is turning out to be borrowing sugar from Jill (how cliche), and there is more discussion with Graymalk. Apparently the Vicar has one of the game's artifacts, and also his step-daughter who is held prisoner suspected to be a future sacrifice.
We wrap things up with a visit to the Gipsies (sic), and the Great Detective playing the violin for them, as if we needed more clues about who he's supposed to be. :p
I may have more comments later if I think about them, but just covering this much ground for now is enough, I think.

Hi all,
Im having problems with setting up my wireshark correctly. It works on my machine and i can see all packets that are sent/received. But when i try to filter via ip.addr == xx.xx.xxx.xxx, for example, it doesn't work. All i am able to see on the wireshark is a few hits from dropbox and i know the machine that im trying to 'sniff' is on the internet and surfing as its right next to me. I have tired the same concept with iPhones on the same network.
I am trying to do this wirelessly, not sure if this has any relevance and all the other interfaces that i am trying to sniff are wirelessly connected too.
Help would be greatly appreciated
asked 05 Oct '11, 02:05
Are you trying to filter packets while they're being captured, so that packets neither to nor from xx.xx.xxx.xxx are discarded and aren't in the capture, or are you trying to filter packets after they're captured?
(07 Oct '11, 13:30) Guy Harris ♦♦
If using wireless on windows with builtin wireless adapter -> forget it.
If using wireless on linux -> search for "wireless" in this Q&A and read the top posts, there are detailed answers

Back in the late sixties, early seventies, in Segamat, we would leave our house and not lock the front door.
One evening, we went out to town and when we got back, the furniture in our living room was re-arranged. I remember my parents laughing about it and immediately guessing that this was the work of my mother's cousin Ang Boon Yau, my Uncle Yau who lived just a few streets away.
Uncle Yau was skinny and handsome (I thought so) and always making silly jokes, which was probably why he and my father got on well. He and his older brother, my Uncle Hui, emigrated to Canada in the 70s. They are still there, in their 80s and late 70s now, and in quite good health.

Well, Katana did not share in our grandiose fantasies of a 30 mile day, but it's not her fault..
I got up early and was on trail by about 6:30. Katana was walking, but she was going about half our normal speed. Not wanting to ruin a semi good thing, I went with her pace.
The entire day was spent hiking around 8,000 feet. No snow, no ice, just a beautiful day with moderate temperatures. I can't recall walking through any real desert like sections today; it was all mostly just pine forest, mixed in with some desert like shrubs and bushes.
There was plenty of shade, and plenty of places to sit and rest with beautiful views. After all the freezing, rainy, burning hot, or shadeless sections, today felt more like a walk in the woods than any day previous on this journey, and it was wonderful.
While I was hiking, I felt great, but every time I stopped in a nice shady spot, the wind would go right out of my sails. The breaks were long and relaxing today, and that's ultimately what killed our goal of 30 miles (not Katana taking her time). We'd set down on a log or a rock for a bit, then want to recline some, and move to the ground, then want to lie down, break out our pads and snooze for a bit. Why rush through such pretty scenery and natural sitting/resting spots? It would be a waste to pass them all by, in a hurry to get back down to the desert and subsequently more water and shade woes. Smell the roses, and never pass up a good thing.
So it was a stop and go day, without any real animal sightings, or super exciting experiences. I carried Katana a couple times for a short distance during the middle of the day, but other than that, she mosied along at her own comfortable pace.
I figured out a trick to get her energized when she was beginning to look lazy. If I knew she was about to lay down or get rebellious, I would quickly dart off the trail and act like I was trying to catch a lizard or snake; flipping over rocks or small logs and burying my hands in the dirt. She would immediately perk up, bound to my side, and begin frantically looking for whatever it was I was after. I would then snatch up a stick or a rock, flash it at her real quick, then throw it down the trail. It got her going every time, and she would ride off the excitement of these "fake encounters" for at least another 20 mins to half an hour, on high alert, looking for the next creature. I don't know how long this trick will work for, but I'll need to be careful not to run it into the ground.
We had some gorgeous views of Bear Lake, and walked through a section of forest decimated by a past fire. The burnt land looked sad, and that sadness was contagious. Only lizards seemed to inhabit this stretch of scorched pines and rock.
The pine Grove we're camped in is also burnt, but everything is still green here. The only clue that gives away the past fire, are the charcoaly black trunks of the pine trees; luckily these ones survived.
No plans or goals for tomorrow. Just going to wake up, walk, and see how far our feet take us. I prefer not having a set plan or schedule while I'm out here; I feel that it keeps me more in the moment, less in the future, and saves me from any potential disappointment when those plans or schedules fall through.
We're on a long descent back towards lower elevations tomorrow, so it's only going to get hotter, not to mention less shade-ier.
The weather and terrain has really had me disoriented. One second you're in a desert, the next you're in freezing snow. One second it's hot without a cloud in the sky, the next it's freezing and sleeting rain. One second you're surrounded by lush trees and vegetation, the next you're surrounded by cactus and thorny bushes, with no shade in sight. One second there's zero wildlife, the next you can't take a step without spooking some kind of lizard. It's a confusing yet amusing environment, and despite its lack of predictability, it's growing on me.

I've been drinking a lot of chocolate protein smoothies in the morning after working out lately, so I decided to try Vega One's new French Vanilla flavor and it is amazing! I've been using Vega's products for a couple of years now and they, by far, have the best line of natural, plant-based products. It's essential to eat protein and other nutrients after tough workouts, and the Vega One powder provides just that. It is completely plant-based with no added sugar, contains 15 g of protein, 6 g of fiber, 1.5 g Omega-3, antioxidants, probiotics, greens, and 50% of your recommended daily value of vitamins and minerals. Therefore, Vega One is a great way to start your day, especially if you workout in the morning. I hardly ever need to also drink coffee after having my breakfast shake.
You can get the new french vanilla flavor on Amazon for 20% off. I know it still seems expensive at $55, but the large tub has 22 servings which comes out to $2.5 per smoothie. This is a pretty good price for a meal (since your should be replacing meals with protein smoothies).
This new french vanilla flavor is so good that I'm going to experiment more with the ingredients in my smoothies. I like to keep my smoothie recipes simple so I can quickly make it in the morning. Here's my base recipe, I'm also going to try pumpkin and chai!
3 ice cubes
1 banana (can use frozen banana and ditch the ice cubes)
handful of frozen baby spinach (for added nutrients)
1 tbsp. peanut or almond butter (for added protein and healthy fats)
1 tbsp. chia seeds (more protein and fats)
dash of cinnamon (for various health benefits and good taste)
1 scoop Vega One French Vanilla
1 cup or more of almond milk
Mix together in a blender and enjoy! I use my handy-dandy Hamilton Beach Personal Blender which turns into a to-go cup. The spinach, peanut butter, chia seeds, and cinnamon are really optional in this recipe if you don't have them around. However, they add more nutrients that make this smoothie more of a meal.
If you're not replacing a meal with this smoothie (as in, drinking it after working out in the evening and then also having dinner), then I would either eat a light dinner or just make a smoothie with a smaller scoop of Vega One, ice, and almond milk or water. Protein smoothies have a lot more calories (and nutrients) than you realize and should really be a meal replacement. Also, beware of protein smoothies that you buy at a juice bar because they are usually loaded with sugar (and made with non-vegan things like whey and milk). Eating tons of sugar after a workout will erase all of the hard work you just did. If you workout in the afternoon, I would suggest have this smoothie for breakfast in the morning anyway and then just eating a high-protein meal after your workout.

So the higher resolution imagery I had on Thursday morning points to the lump being something else, most likely something that could have been safely ignored from the outset. I'm still waiting on the final radiologist report, but I had a good chat with the doctor.
What appeared to be an AVM might now be either a thrombosed AVM (basically my body did naturally what last Monday's procedure would have done) or a remnant of an infection such as TB (even if I was asymptomatic). The better quality images make a difference, but as always it's a question of interpretation based on experience and case studies.
So I might have had a procedure for nothing. I may have suffered some stress for nothing. Medical imagery isn't perfect, but it's frustrating and disappointing to have been through so much, perhaps for nothing... I should probably be feeling elated, happy, or relieved but really I think I'd rather just have a good cry about it.

| 8.8°C Belfast
"Where did it all go wrong?" would have been a natural question for the Queen to ask her ministers Peter Robinson and Martin McGuinness last night when she gave them individual audiences at Hillsborough Castle.
The only written records of an audience with the monarch are a brief note in the court circular.
The idea is that people can, within the bounds of protocol, speak frankly during their one-to-one face time with the sovereign.
It is understood that her questions can also be frank, even probing. Her first meeting with Mr McGuinness was on June 27, 2012 in the Lyric Theatre.
Despite the groundbreaking nature of the event and the feelgood factor which it generated, things have not gone that well in Northern Ireland.
She may recall Peter Robinson assuring her that "an age-old quarrel has been set aside and politics is working". It doesn't look like that today.
The Haass talks have crashed and burned, and hopes of a revival are fading as the marching season and then a string of elections hove into sight. Speaking of the marching season, both ministers are avoiding important trade missions because of the real danger that trouble may erupt.
The risk of being filmed in Rio enjoying corporate hospitality if the streets around Ardoyne were exploding would be so great that they have turned down an invitation from Marfrig, the Brazilian agri-food giant that is our biggest industrial employer.
The terrorist threat persists at a low level. Yet the dissidents must be encouraged by the knowledge that trust levels are falling at Stormont and decision-making is mired in suspicion and mistrust.
Failure to agree welfare reform is an increasing, and unsustainable, drain on public finances and blocking tactics are the order of the day.
In another sense, the Queen and Martin McGuinness may look back on how difficult that first meeting between them had been to arrange and choreograph and how much things have moved on since. Now meetings seem almost routine and we have dispensed with the fig leaf – employed by Mr McGuinness the last time she was here – that he wasn't meeting her in an official capacity.
There was a lot of flim-flam to get it all through the Sinn Fein ard chomhairle, which had, a year earlier, opposed a royal visit to the Republic. The meeting wasn't on the Queen's home turf and wasn't even, it was said without much conviction, part of her visit to Belfast. It was a charity event in a theatre which they both happened to be attending alongside Michael D Higgins, the Irish President.
Now that has all been dispensed with. Mr McGuinness is, just like Peter Robinson and Theresa Villiers, the Secretary of State, enjoying an audience with the Queen at her official royal residence in Northern Ireland.
Getting this far must have taken considerable courage on both their parts.
Her Majesty may have remembered her kinsman Lord Mountbatten who was killed in an IRA bombing together with three other people. That was in 1979, a time when most historians record that Martin McGuinness was IRA chief of staff.
Mr McGuinness may remember the Bloody Sunday shootings of unarmed civilians by the British Army. "The men responsible were marched up to Buckingham Palace and they were decorated by the British Queen. How do people think we feel about that?" he asked angrily after the 1994 IRA ceasefire allowed Sinn Fein to deal openly with the British Government. However, after a big effort by the two of them, meetings are now routine. That should have had an unfreezing effect on politics here. Mr McGuinness said, at the time, that he wanted to symbolically shake the hands of every unionist along with the Queen, and he obviously hoped for easier relations in Government as a result. Besides the Mountbatten atrocity, Her Majesty escaped at least two IRA attempts on her life, one at Sullom Voe in the Shetlands and the second at Coleraine during a previous visit.
She must have hoped that by showing an example she would help to stabilise this part of her realm. She may even have calculated that her personal effort would encourage those most loyal to her to work alongside others for the common good.
Instead, the biggest result of her diplomacy has been better relations between Britain and the republic. Northern Ireland remains a difficult problem.

The Matthew Dunn trained 3YO Wallander put on an impressive front-running display to land the $60,000 TAB Highway Plate at Rosehill on Saturday.
The lightly raced son of Domesday who has never finished further back than fourth, has now won twice and placed twice from just 6 starts to-date. The gelding won comfortably under Glyn Schofield, beating Nicconita by 1.3L, with Pierino a further 1.3 lengths 3rd.
A winner of the Group 2 Silver Slipper Stakes at 2, Domesday has had an outstanding 2017-18 season, highlighted by a Group 1 Coolmore Classic quinella with Daysee Doom and Oregon's Day, with the latter then going on to win the Group 2 Hollindale Stakes.
Not to be out-done however, Domesday's stable-mate Husson sired the winner of the $100,000 ATC Hong Kong Tour Sprint on the same card with the Cameron Crockett-trained Sharpe Hussler beating Condor Heroes by 1.5L, with Niccolance another length back in 3rd.
It's been a good couple of days for the Aquis stalwart who had the Mildura Cup winner on Friday with Husson Eagle.
Husson's versatility as a sire was again evident this season with his Stakes horses including the 8YO gelding Lucky Hussler winning the Group 2 Schweppes Crystal Mile and his 3YO filly Frolic added more black-type to her resume at her most recent start in the Inglis 3YO Guineas at Scone, having placed 2nd in last year's Group 1 Golden Slipper.
Just to underscore the strength of Aquis' sire power, Benfica, who stands alongside Domesday and Husson at Aquis' Queensland base in Canungra, also sired a winner on Saturday's Rosehill card, with Eusebio winning the $100,000 ATC Thanks Owners Handicap for Godolphin.
The 4YO has won his two starts this prep for trainer James Cummings and may well step up in grade after today's victory, bearing in mind he put together three wins in a row last season, that culminated with victory in the Listed Canberra Guineas.
While much has been written about the exciting quartet of new stallions retiring to Aquis this spring, Saturday's sire treble at Rosehill is a reminder that Aquis' stallion roster is backed up by proven sires on both their Queensland and NSW rosters.

text: 'Big Bang Theory' Star Kunal Nayyar on Representation of South Asian Actors on TV 10:10 PM PST 11/12/2015 by Carmen Triola FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Getty Images Kunal Nayyar Consumed Premiere - H 2015 He also discussed his close relationship with actors such as Aziz Ansari, Mindy Kaling and 'Quantico's' Priyanka Chopra and revealed he would "hundred percent" guest star on Ansari's 'Master of None' if asked. At the Wednesday premiere of his new movie Consumed, The Big Bang Theory's Kunal Nayyar (who plays Raj Koothrappali on the series) talked to The Hollywood Reporter about his thoughts on South Asian characters currently on TV, his show's ninth season and his increasing distaste for genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Before the screening, Nayyar voiced his support for shows such as Quantico, The Mindy Project and Master of None, noting that their representation of South Asian actors was "wonderful." "I love diversity," he said. "America's a wonderful country, but there are people from many ethnicities and political divisions," he continued. "It's really wonderful — not only are they Indian, but they're very talented. I think the focus [should be] on their brilliance, really." Nayyar, who guest-starred on the season-four premiere of The Mindy Project, also discussed the possibility of working with other prominent South Asian actors. He said he "hundred percent" would want to guest star on Master of None, Aziz Ansari's new show on Netflix (although the show has not yet heard if it will be renewed for a second season). "I'm friends with them — they've all got me inspired," he said of actors like Ansari, Mindy Kaling and Quantico's Priyanka Chopra. "I'd love to work with anyone who would have me." On the latest season of Big Bang Theory, Nayyar expressed some sadness on seeing characters Sheldon and Amy, collectively nicknamed "Shamy," break up. "I like seeing them together," he said. Still, he seemed pleased with how the program has matured. While early on, the CBS darling had a lighter tone, the ensemble of physicists are now older, wiser and more fully developed. Newer episodes still focus on sitcom-level shenanigans, but season-long arcs have also dealt with marriage and children, with the characters now in their late thirties. "Obviously, the characters have to go on the passage of time," he said. "I think that's a function of us being on the air for so long, is that these characters have to grow, though slowly. But it's really nice, you know, the writers do an incredible job at writing human characters, and we're lucky to be a part of it." Currently, Nayyar is also working to promote his new film, Consumed, in which he plays a scientist concerned about the possible effects of GMOs in food. "It's so prevalent, and not a lot of people are talking about it," he said at the premiere. "That's why we act, that's why we create art — to help educate people."

Maid Marian (1822), like the work that followed it, The Misfortunes of Elphin (1829), represents a new emphasis, if not a new direction for Peacock. Published in the decade following Peacock's first three novels, they differ from the latter in their historical settings, twelfth-century England in the case of Maid Marian and eighth-century Wales in the case of Misfortunes. If they are set in the past, however, and dispense with the dialogic format of the novels of talk in favor of narrative, these works retain Peacock's satiric focus—hence their designation as "satiric romances." Their historical settings notwithstanding, however, they are as topical as Peacock's other satires.

Edin Dzeko claims the title race will go right down to the wire - despite Manchester City's loss to Liverpool .
City won the Premier League in 2012 in the final seconds of the season and Dzeko feels the current campaign is on course for another grandstand finish.
The Blues can turn up the heat on Liverpool by winning their two games in hand and Dzeko feels nothing will be decided until the final fixtures on May 11.
"It's too early to say if Sunday's result will decide where the title ends up because we still have six games to play and Liverpool and Chelsea both have four left," said the striker.
"People talk about pressure and such like, but that doesn't really matter - just who wins the most games between now and the end of the season.
"I firmly believe, like the last time we won the title, that it will go right to the wire despite our defeat at Anfield."
City had to come from behind two years ago to pip Manchester United for the title and Dzeko would love to win it again for everyone at the club.
"It was an amazing experience to win the title in 2012, but that was then, this is now and everything is different," he told mcfc.co.uk.
"We have a lot of new players and we want to win it again for our fans, the team and the club. We have to get back on track by beating Sunderland and West Brom in the next week.
"It is very difficult to win titles anywhere and the Bundesliga and the Premier League are among the hardest to win, but I enjoyed winning the league with Wolfsburg and it was amazing to win it with City and I hope to win it many more times as a City player."
Dzeko is enjoying his best campaign for City under Manuel Pellegrini, having scored 21 goals in 41 games, and says the return from injury of Sergio Aguero is a big boost.
"The manager has brought some new things to the team," said the Bosnian international. "We are playing aggressive, attacking football and scoring a lot of goals.
"Sergio's return is great for the team because he is such an important player for us.
"We hope we can see the very best of him in the games that remain."

Mental Health Diet Restrictions
Integral in the treatment of mental health is the removal of gluten and dairy from the diet. These food groups are found to be undigested fully in our guts due to dysfunctional digestive enzymes. Toxins from our environment are known to destroy certain digestive enzymes. The result is maldigestion of gluten and dairy, which lead to production of gliadorphins and casomorphins. These, in turn, can cause opiate effects in the brain and mood instability. We also employ the use of methylated Vitamin B12 injections as this specific vitamin enables methylation and therefore activation of neurotransmitters. Zinc supplementation is also essential especially for management of mental health and depression. There are a number of other vitamins, supplements, and herbs that are used to further control the mood adequately. The goal of treating mental health through diet corrections and neurotransmitter manipulation is to minimize the use of psychoactive medications and to enable patients to function at their best!

I don't consider myself a venerable expert on modding, but I've been involved with various mods for about 5 years and am currently developing Dawn of Victory, for Sins of a Solar Empire. Making any sort of mod, let alone a total conversion, takes a lot of work, but it seems to me that many people forget that when trying to start one. With this in mind I've wrote some points which I think could help get your mod a team, and hopefully, released.
Ideas are like assholes, everybody has one. Far too many people will post a topic trying to get a team together for a mod, with nothing but an idea, list of units, or some TV Show, Movie, Game, or Book, that would "make a great mod".
Chances are, unless your idea is "Star Wars", "Halo", or some other IP with millions of fans, it will be hard to find anyone willing to work with you. Furthermore, if you're unable to model, skin, code, or anything else related to modding, your idea will probably be made without you, if at all.
I myself can't model or skin, my idea for a Dawn of Victory was something of my own creation, and I had little experience leading a mod team. Getting Dawn of Victory a team took more than a couple paragraphs, only by writing a wealth of back-story, producing various concepts and maps in photoshop could I hope to interest other people. Even then, it was an uphill battle.
Of course, if you can model or skin, getting people interested will be a lot easier.
Know your limits, and the limits of what your team can hope to accomplish. One of the things people forget when posting their unit lists, factions, and new features, is that they actually have to get done. It's very easy to promise 5 factions with 100 units per side, it gets much harder when you have to model and skin each one.
Releasing updates is of course the best way to promote your mod, but it's always a good idea to make sure the updates you release look professional, and not hurried. The most annoying things I've seen is where people released unskinned versions of units, "temp textures" or other incomplete work. You may get your updates out quicker, but they'll look a little amateurish. Lastly, always include your logo or website on your screenshots or renders so people know who's behind it.
Back when Dawn of Victory was for Star Wars: Empire of War, it seemed that every other mod for that game was the same. There were dozens of Clone War mods, and several others that seemed to add the same sides, same units, and same heroes. If you want your mod to stand out, change more than just the aesthetics. After all, changing the gameplay does far more to make a mod stand out than the look of the units.
I first had the idea for Dawn of Victory in 2003, and it took 3 years before anybody decided to help me out, and another before I had a small team. You can't just post your idea and hope that someone will do it for you. Becoming active in the community, fleshing out your ideas, and getting to know people is the best way to get your mod made, whether you have the skills or not.
Well, that seems like all the advice I have.
Huzzah! Good advice!
Hmm... I didn't realize that DoV was originally ment for EaW. Learn something new everyday I suppose.
Seems quite the challenge. No wonder you don't take crap from anyone except maybe your own team.
Necromonger Boshimi...but appropriate in light of the other topic. Maybe Swiss will pop in and add some comments?
I really believe this topic is something people need to see, especially if they plan on attempting to mod whether it be a total conversion or not.
Expected subtly sarcastic pseudo-trollpost. Was surprised with PURE AWESOME.
Indeed, one can learn something new everyday, I didn't know that either.

Contemporary Afro-Caribbean Dance w/ Kendra J. Ross (BkSD Artist in Residence)
Saturday, October 21
$10 Register Here
Come explore the ways dances of the divine spirits of Cuba and Haiti can inform the essence and personality of contemporary modern dance. This fusion class will use traditional folklore movements from deities such as Elegua, representing play and passageways and Oshun, representing flow and beauty, as a base to color and inform modern dance warm up, across the floor combinations and choreography.

Artist's Statement
Dance.Live.Love.Feel. This is my motto, my artistic identity, and is the signature of all my emails!
Dance is how I learn, express, and heal.
Life is art. Art helps us more fully understand life. Through my work I tell real stories. I use my art as a way to answer the many questions that logic alone cannot help me fully know.
Love is sharing and connecting. My work seeks to connect. My process is rooted in collaboration, as I want my work to be a vessel to tell multiple truths from varying perspectives.
Feeling is the most power tool of dance. Movement touches the visceral, that which cannot be described. I express my passion through dance and invite my audience to experience with me.

You might recall a while back I mentioned a cool new case for the iPad from Head Case that made the iPad look like the old school Etch a Sketch most of us have played with at some point in our lives. If you liked that case and wished there was an iPad specific app to compete the transformation from iPad to Etch a Sketch today is your lucky day.
The official Etch a Sketch app for the iPad has landed on the App Store. The app is from developer Freeze Tag, the same company that made the official iPhone version of the app. Since there are no big white knobs on the iPad; you use your finger to draw on the screen.
When you want to erase the picture you drew, you can do so just as you do with the real Etch a Sketch, you shake the iPad. The official name of the app is Etch a Sketch HD to differentiate it from the iPhone version. Monochrome line art can't be any higher quality.

Is Ford seeing the greener side of life?
Going green is the new catch phrase…and rightfully so. Ford Motor Company (quite possibly the only big three manufacturer to stave off bankruptcy, we will learn about GM's fate in a week or so) is working to develop more eco-friendly products to meet consumer expectations who want to live more

Pictured above: Space Tyrant
This week has easily been the most busy week so far this year in terms of new indie releases, and its only Thursday. Some of these games are titles I've personally been very excited to get my hands on, though I can only truly recommend one of them so far. As with all of these articles, don't take this as a buyer's guide. Make sure you check out videos and reviews to learn more about each game.
Subset Games
First up this week is Into the Breach, the latest game from the developers of FTL and the only game on this list that I can personally vouch for right now. Like their previous game, Into the Beach is a roguelite with some pretty solid pixel art, but that's where the similarities end. Earth has been ravaged by an invasion of gigantic, bug-like creatures called the Vek. You control a squad of mechs that have been sent back in time to defend Earth during the early stages of the invasion. Fight waves of Vek in a campaign full of short, procedurally generated missions with multiple secondary objectives. The turn-based battles play out more like a puzzle game, where positioning is key and many of your attacks have secondary effects based around moving enemies. Into the Breach is also on GOG and the Humble Store.
Hellmut is a top-down roguelite shooter I've been keeping my eye on, but haven't personally had a chance to play yet. You play as a mad scientist that unleashed a horde of demons in exchange for immortality. The demons granted your wish, but then ate your body, leaving only your floating brain behind. Get revenge on these otherworldly horrors by blowing them apart with an arsenal of absurd weapons and shape-shifting abilities. Each Transformation gives you a different special ability, and swapping between them to counter specific enemies is one of the core principles of the game's combat. You can also find Hellmut on GOG and the Humble Store, with a console port apparently coming sometime later this year.
Vicious Attack Llama Apocalypse
RogueCode (PTY) LTD
Vicious Attack Llama Apocalypse is another top-down twin-stick roguelite shooter that released this week, and despite the obvious meme name and premise, it looks like it might have some promise. A global conspiracy has resulted in millions of weaponized attack llamas being unleashed upon an unsuspecting world. Fight back the hordes with a customizable, remotely-piloted mech bristling with guns and gadgets. The game features co-op for up to four players, but its limited to local only. VALA is currently only on Steam, but it will be heading to Xbox One in a few weeks.
Humble Hearts LLC
Never Stop Sneakin' is the latest game by the developer of Dust: An Elysian Tail. This top-down arcade parody of the original Metal Gear Solid has you playing as an elite operative for the Department of Sneakin', the world's best stealth and counterintelligence agency. Infiltrate procedurally generated military bases on your mission to stop Amadeus Guildenstern, a time-traveling super villain that has kidnapped all the U.S. Presidents. Never Stop Sneakin' is also on the Switch.
Where the Water Tastes Like Wine
Dim Bulb Games, Serenity Forge
Where the Water Tastes Like Wine is a narrative adventure game about traveling across a highly stylized version of the Depression era continental US. Hitchhike from coast-to-coast gathering stories, each of which are written by a wide selection of established authors. Trade stories with your fellow travelers as currency to gather new tales. Where the Water Tastes Like Wine is also on GOG and the Humble Store.
Blue Wizard Digital
Space Tyrant is a 4X-lite developed by a team of former PopCap developers. Conquer and terrorize the galaxy as the cartoonishly evil warlord of one of three alien races. Space Tyrant's gimmick is that it has simplified and streamlined the basic 4X gameplay loop into an easy-to-learn package that is suitable for quick play sessions and binge gaming alike. There's no diplomatic or cultural victories in the game, and support cards replace the complex research and tech trees in most 4X games. Amass an armada, subjugate weaker races, and get eaten by giant space sharks over the course of your average lunch break.
Ghost Ship Games
I'm going to round out today's article with a pair of promising Early Access games. Deep Rock Galactic is a co-op shooter where four players control a squad of space dwarves mining procedurally generated underground caverns for precious metals and gems. Each player takes on a unique role to help the team, like the defensive Engineer, or the Scout that leads the way and gathers information on upcoming areas. Environments are fully destructible, with the Driller class being built around carving paths through rock walls. Deep Rock Galactic is still pretty early in development, so be aware that there isn't a ton of content in the game just yet. It's also on the Xbox Preview service and the Humble Store.
Voidpoint, LLC
Finally we come to Ion Maiden, an old school-inspired shooter published by 3D Realms. What sets Ion Maiden apart from the numerous other '90s-style nostalgia shooters is that it's actually made in an updated version of the Build engine that spawned Duke Nukem 3D, Blood, and Shadow Warrior. This results in a game that nails the look and feel of a classic shooter, but takes advantage of new advances in technology with larger, more complex levels and higher resolutions. Like Deep Rock Galactic, Ion Maiden is still early in development, so don't expect much more than a tech demo at this point.
There's still plenty of releases I haven't got to yet, so I'll be back soon. Which of these games are you excited about?

Project Managers have a large responsibility and obligation to a group endeavor. From planning and monitoring to the completion of the project, they are the captains of the creative and collaborative ship. Their overall responsibilities include steering the team, turning visions into realities, staying within specific budgets and timeframes and, of course, implementing conflict resolution strategies along the way.
An effective project manager is organized, has strong communication skills, is always pragmatic and is consistently evolving their tactics and management methods. For those of you who are currently project managers in (and even out) of the salon, here are a few reminders to help you effectively lead your team and project.
#1 – Define The Project's Scope: Before you lay down the foundation and details of the project at hand, remember that it is important you have a clear and well-defined understanding of what has been assigned because you have to be able to explain the project to your team members. Better yet, write down what the project is and then create a mission statement for it. Let's have you do that first and foremost.
#2 – Strengths & Weaknesses: In our 5 Ways To Remain Calm article, we shared how vitality it is for everyone to be cognizant of the fact that we're all different. We have different ways of learning, various methods of communicating and diverse personalities. You, as a project manager, must be all knowing and aware of these traits in addition to clearly defining what countless strengths and weaknesses each team member brings to the table. Before you go full throttle on the project, have a clear understanding of what all these are. Since it is a sizable amount of information to manage, you could create team members profiles (on paper or digitally) and list all their strengths and weaknesses and distinctions.
#3 – Ways of Communicating: I just mentioned the importance of having a clear understanding of everyone's strengths and weaknesses, but more importantly, you should also be well-versed in the art of communication. As we explained in our What's Your Communication Type article, there are four different types of communicators. How those different styles intersect with each other plays a significant role in the collaboration process, and a project manager must be able to communicate with each individual type to keep the project free of conflict and pitfalls.
#4 – Short & Long-Term Goals: It's a no-brainer that one of your responsibilities as a project manager is to develop short and long-term goals for the project and for the individual team members. BUT (yes, the caps lock is necessary) before you create and assign any goals for anyone else, craft some short and long-term benchmarks and milestones for yourself. From having a "budget created by deadline" to having a "project mission statement clearly defined," it's crucial you stay on track and develop tactics in doing so.
#5 – Escape Routes & Risks: Always, always have a plan B before you go full steam ahead on the project. A great project manager is an exceptional problem solver so identify areas where hiccups may potentially occur within the project. For instance, let's say the salon team is conducting an outdoor photo shoot with six models. What are you going to do if it rains that day? What happens when a model doesn't show up and never responds to your texts or voicemails? Or, what happens if you come down with insane food poisoning day of? Who is your second in command? Each one of these "what ifs" can become realities. It's like having an escape route while driving. We were all taught by our driver's ed teachers to have one in case a dangerous road situation presents itself.
#6 – Gossip & Drama: According to psychologists, the act of schadenfreude is used as a social tool to bond. Your job as a project manager is to nip the gossip in the bud before it begins and before it takes your team members down the rabbit hole of drama disasters. This is also a reminder for you to not be a gossiper. Your level of respect and credibility is quickly damaged the moment you partake and contribute to the negativity.
#7 – Physical & Digital Tools: Dry erase boards, markers, easel pads and Sharpies are must-havs during the collaboration and project execution process, but sometimes the team isn't all in one place all of the time. Take the project into the digital world. An online program and app I recommend is Trello. It's free and it's actually something we use on a daily basis here at Industrie. It keeps all our moving parts and pieces organized and it is an effective way of communicating what's needed and where things are at on small and large projects. Honestly, it's what keeps Justine and me sane these days!
#8 – Stress Techniques: Here at Industrie, we're big on keeping stress in check and manageable. If we don't, then I turn into a big pile of crazy and Justine becomes this tiny frog. Create a stress-free environment for the team. Teach them various ways to decompress and have everyone understand the importance of communicating and sharing when they're feeling pressured. And more importantly, you, yes, you project manager, you should also know how to handle stress and how it affects the body and mind because once you spin out of control it will only create a domino effect.
#10 – Be A Great Leader: Want to know what makes a great leader a great leader? They drop their ego and never use their title in a negative fashion. They also accept failure and learn from it, have compassion for others and are a positive role model. Here are a few more tips on how to be (and become) a great leader.
#11 – Learning Curves: Be visual with explanation and remember that people learn and digest information differently. Some are visual learners, some are written learners, and some are both. It's called having good project architecture. While you're at it, become more familiar with Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences.
Now go forth oh mighty project manager and conquer that project. And remember this: Everyone has a plan: until they get punched in the face.
I didn't come up with that.
Mike Tyson did.
So my advice to you is…don't get punched in the face.
Quick Takeaways:
- Define your project's scope.
- Define strengths and weaknesses.
- Know how to effectively communicate.
- Develop short and long-term goals for yourself.
- Plan escape routes for potential pitfalls.
- Remind yourself the dangers in gossip.
- Utilize digital project management tools.
- Teach others how to handle stress.
- Drop your ego.
- Recognize all learning types.
