Aberdeen v Brighton (Jamie Langfield Testimonial)
When Brighton announced the pre-season schedule this was the match that jumped out at me as a must do! On the Saturday I headed to a mates skabarnfest (in St Leonards-on-sea) and was dropped home by a mate called "Tappa" although nobody knows why he is called that! Even at his recent wedding his old man denied knowing how or why he got that name, but I digress! Tappa saved the day for me and dropped me back at my Mums just before midnight! With the alarm set for 4.15am I knew we were in for a long day!
When Brighton announced the pre-season schedule this was the match that jumped out at me as a must do!

Even at his recent wedding his old man denied knowing how or why he got that name, but I digress! Tappa saved the day for me and dropped me back at my Mums just before midnight! With the alarm set for 4.15am I knew we were in for a long day!
So Sunday morning and a short stroll from my Mums and I was picked up by Dean, Ciaran and Mark by Hove Dog Stadium. Our flight left Gatwick at 7.15 and it was thankfully on time. We landed about an hour or so later and by 9.30am we were in Aberdeen city centre after catching the bus from the airport. A very reasonable £3 return fare.
Aberdeen is famously know as the Granite city. I have to confess we did little sightseeing but we did come across this fine fellow outside the Weatherspoons pub in Union Square. One pub also listed all the distilleries in Scotland, I think to visit them all would have been a little difficult as we were only in Scotland for a day!
|The Blackfriars - an excellent pub with a fine menu!
|Yes DEEP FRIED MARS BAR but no I did not have one!
|Fine upstanding members of the community
We decided to continue the one beer one pub ideology and were soon heading down towards the docks. By now even the sun was trying to come out - steady on.
|Boats or ships?
|Very unusual pub to be included in the Good Beer Guide a heavy rock bar!
|Trendy 2/3rds of a pint for the price of a full pint!
The time was now 2.35 but luckily somebody had remembered to order some taxis. Before you could say its a little cool today we were at Pittodrie. A healthy number of Albion fans had made the long long trip north of the boarder.
|A flag bonanza!
|the 200+ Albion fans as seen from the home end
I thought we played ok in the first 45 minutes, but Aberdeen eventually went on to win 1-0, Rooney scoring the winner, yes that Rooney, the one that got a hat-trick against us for Stoke! I have to say that the most vicious things in Pittodrie was the rather nasty seagulls, the ones in the air not on the pitch. Aberdeen have have real problems with them and during the game a single Hawk had the job of chasing them off! At one time it was like watching the battle of Britain! Eventually the Hawk took control and the seagulls drifted off (possibly with a few small children as lunch!)
These 3 rather fine pictures were taken by Graeme Shinnie - cheers mate
After the game we headed back to the city centre for a couple more beers. Some stopped off again in the first every Brew Dog pub, Dean and I headed to a rather shit real ale pub by the train station that did no real ales!!! We soon moved on to the Weatherspoons pub to meet the others.
|The first Brew Dog Pub
As we headed to get the bus back to the airport we got the good news that the flight was delayed! By the time we got to the airport the plane was now showing as about two hours late, not ideal when you are already on the 21.05 on a Sunday night, as we went through security the plane was still at Gatwick! Luckily the bar air side remained open until our plane was ready to board.
|With the Gaffer
The Albion team (apart from 3 poor development squad players who were on our flight) were on the on-time flight to Heathrow! We had a chat with the Gaffer Chris Hughton.
|Half and half clowns
Inevitably you find fans who let the side down, the team down and more importantly themselves down!
|The bar at the airport (landside)
We finally landed at Gatwick at about 12.30am, but then hit another problem, we needed a bus to get us to domestic arrivals, so we sat and waited and waited and waited! The bloke at the end of my row had a big pulsing vein in his neck by the time they let us off the plane. He had spent most of the journey asking the poor steward why he could not change the Easyjet refund policy!! Dean, Cirana and I had a mad dash to the airport and JUST caught the last train back to Brighton (1.49am).
Anyway back to more interesting facts - not wanting to sound like an Alcoholic but I think we visited the following pubs during the day - The Archibald Simpson, Old Blackfriars, The Moorings Bar, CASC, The Prince Of Wales and 6 Degrees North. We also did one near the station but it had no real ale and i cant recalls its name. A few others did the Brewdog as well! We also had one or two at the airport as out flight was over 2 hours later! All in all a brilliant trip.
Here are a few more pictures from the match (Seagulls everywhere)
The away end is nicely exposed to the North Sea. Even in July is was bloody freezing for us poor southern softies. Then again talking to the Old Bill they did say it was not the warmest summer day they have had. apparently it does get above freezing occasionally!

The Middle East presents serious challenges to any Christian church, but the Seventh-day Adventist Church has managed to get a foothold in nearly all the countries of the Middle East. Adventists even run a college in Lebanon. There are four countries where Adventists are not yet established, but were there may be openings as the Arab Spring continues.
The Middle East - Four Places without Seventh-day Adventists
Syria: The country of Syria has 22.7 million citizens living in 185,180 km 2.
Statistical analyses from 2006 shows that 87% of Syrians are Muslim and this is growing. The Muslim birthrate reportedly was higher than that of the minorities, and proportionately fewer Muslims were emigrating abroad. Of the Muslims, 74% were members of the Sunni branch, while the remaining 13% were Alawites, Ismailis and Twelvers combined. 10% of the population was made up by Christians, while the remaining 3% were Druze. Adherents to each faith tend to be clustered in specific areas of the country. The map shows areas Syria with significant Christian populations.
Various Eastern Orthodox Churches represent most Syrian Christians but there are a few western Protestants as well. By common practice, Christians do not attempt to convert or accept converted Muslims into Christian Churches in Syria.
Damascus was one of the first regions to receive Christianity during the ministry of Paul who was converted on the road to Damascus. After the military expansion of the Umayyad empire into Syria and Anatolia, the teachings of Islam came into practice and many became Muslims.
Damascus still contains a sizeable proportion of Christians, with churches all over the city, but particularly in the district of Bab Touma. Masses are held every Sunday and civil servants are given Sunday mornings off to allow them to attend church, even though Sunday is a working day in Syria. Schools in Christian districts have Saturday and Sunday as the weekend, while the official Syrian weekend falls on Friday and Saturday. This is in theory an ideal situation for Seventh-day Adventists. Syrian Christians operate a separate court system that deal with civil cases like marriage, divorce and inheritance based on Bible teachings.
In May 2011, in response to the ongoing Arab Spring protests, International Christian Concern reported that many Syrian Christians were more afraid of the anti-government protesters than of the government itself, because under the Syrian Assad government there has been tolerance towards religious minorities.
Palestinian Territory: Disputed by Israel, the Palestinian Territory is not a Christian friendly place, especially for Jewish Sabbath keepers. The Gaza Strip portion has been essentially sealed off for years to travel, while the West Bank has also seen more than its fair share of violence.
It is beyond the scope of this article to describe the history of the Palestinian Territory or the State of Palestine. The size and scope of Palestine is disputed making the population numbers fuzzy. According to Wikipedia:
The Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS) estimated Palestinians at mid year 2009 as 10.7 million persons as follows: 3.9 million in the Palestinian Territory (36.6%), 1.2 million (11.5%) in Israel; 5.0 million in Arab countries (46.2%), 0.6 million in foreign countries (5.7%).
According to Guardian (2008) the Palestinian territories have one of the fastest growing populations in the world, with numbers surging 30% in the past decade (2008). There was 3.76 million Palestinians in the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem, up from 2.89 million 10 years earlier.
According to the U.S. Census population growth mid 1990-2008 in Gaza and West Bank was 106 % from 1.9 million (1990) to 3.9 million persons.
According to UN (2010) Palestinian population is 4.4 million. According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics population density in 2009 was 654 capita/km2, of which 433 capita/km2 in the West Bank including Jerusalem and 4,073 capita/km2 in Gaza Strip. In the mid 2009 the share of population less than 15 years was 41.9 % and above 65 years 3 %.
What is clear is that there are somewhere around 4 million people in Palestine and that the population is young and growing fast.
Palestinians are predominantly Sunni Muslims, but Palestinian Christians represent a significant minority, followed by much smaller religious communities, including Druze and Samaritans.
Christians comprise less than 4% of Arabs living within the states of Israel and Palestine. Christians make up approximately 4% of the West Bank population, less than 1% in Gaza, and nearly 10% of Israel's Arab population. Forced out by wars and anti-Christian policies, the majority of Palestinian Christians live abroad. In 2005, it was estimated that the Christian population of the Palestinian territories was between 40,000 and 90,000 people, or 2.1 to 3.4% of the population. Most are in the West Bank, but there is a community of 5,000 in the Gaza Strip.
The towns of Nazareth, Bethlehem and Jerusalem Old City used to have majority Christian populations but now are Muslim majority.
Yemen: Yemen has a land area of 555,000 square kilometers and a population of approximately 24 million (2010). It is located at the southern end of the Arabian Peninsula. The modern State of Yemen only came into existence with the unification of Southern and Northern Yemen in 1990. The country is actually a republic, one of the only true republics in the region.
Virtually all citizens of Yemen are Muslims, belonging to the Zaydi order of Shi'a Islam (45%-50%) or to the Shafa'i order of Sunni Islam (55-50%).
Jews are the only indigenous religious minority but nearly all of the country's once-sizable Jewish population has emigrated to Israel or elsewhere and fewer than 500 Jews remain in the country of Yemen today.
There are 3,000 Christians throughout Yemen, most of whom are refugees or temporary foreign residents, not native born citizens. There are reportedly about 40 Hindus living in Aden with Indian origins.
While there is officially freedom to practice one's religion in Yemen, prostilizing of Muslims is illegal as is converting from Islam. Therefore there is no freedom to change your religion. These restrictions make missionary activity very difficult in a country where nearly everyone is born into Islam.
Saudi Arabia: The largest country in the Arabian Peninsula, the exact size is undefined because the borders with Yemen and Oman are not precisely agreed upon. The population is about 27.1 million and this includes a large contingent of foreign workers.
97% of the population of Saudi Arabia is Muslim, and Islam is the state religion. There is zero religious freedom and no missionaries. (The last Christian prest was kicked out in 1985).
The Koran is the constitution of Saudi Arabia
In 2010, the U.S. State Department stated that in Saudi Arabia "freedom of religion is neither recognized nor protected under the law and is severely restricted in practice" and that "government policies continued to place severe restrictions on religious freedom".
There are about a million Christians among the guest workers in Saudi Arabia but they are not allowed to have public or home churches, celebrate Christmas or Easter (but they must keep Ramadan). No one may openly practice their non-Islamic faith in any way. Even private prayer services are forbidden in practice and the Saudi religious police reportedly regularly search the homes of Christians.
Muslims are not free to change their beliefs. Conversion by Muslims to another religion (apostasy) carries the death penalty, although there have been no confirmed reports of executions for apostasy in recent years. Proselytizing by non-Muslims is illegal. This makes even secret sharing of faith very dangerous. Radio and internet are the only effective ways to reach into Saudi Arabia with the gospel.
Religious discrimination even extends into the legal system. Compensation in court cases discriminates against non-Muslims: once fault is determined, a Muslim receives the entire amount of compensation determined, a Jew or Christian half, and all others a sixteenth.
Here are the only other places where Seventh-day Adventists can not be found yet:
Countries without Adventists in Europe
Countries without Adventists in Asia
Countries without Adventists in Africa (North Africa)
Countries without Adventists: Islands

First example will be using local database, then tacacs and radius.
First step for all three variations is creating username and a password localy (in server cases it will serve as backup authentification, if server fails):
Enabling AAA
Then we have 2 options: either create our own list, MYTelnet in this example or use default keyword:
So, aaa authentication login -> name of the type of logins :MYTelnet -> order:group tacacs, group radius, localOr:
aaa authentication login default -> no specified name -> order:local
Applying authenication method default (warning will appear if there was no aaa authentication login command prior applying it to interface):
Applying authenication method MYTelnet:
Precising server Ip address and a key (password) to enter the server (not to enter a router, but for router to enter server)
We want Server-group tacacs+ to be default, then authenitacating from local database. Also, the keyword default in "The default authentication list" means that it will be default method for all methods , (including vty, console), so if we dont want authentication via console or telnet to be another type and different from each other, there is no need to apply it separetely.

The 1997 report, The State of New Zealand's Environment 1997, concluded that:
New Zealand's environmental information needs considerable upgrading if the state of the nation's environment is to be accurately described and trends detected. …
The main pressures on indigenous biodiversity today are insufficient habitat in lowland areas, declining quality of many of the remaining land and freshwater habitats, the impacts of pests and weeds and, for some marine species and ecosystems, human fishing activities. …
The main responses to biodiversity decline have focused on ecosystem and species recovery programmes on offshore islands and extensive pest control operations on the mainland, but the need for partial restoration of the representative indigenous lowland and coastal ecosystems and for wider protection of marine ecosystems has yet to be addressed. …
The status of more than half the commercially exploited fish stocks is unknown but, of the stocks whose status is known, about 10 percent are considered to be below the level of Maximum Sustainable Yield and measures have been set to rebuild these stocks. …
Pressures on marine life from fishing include direct harvesting pressure as well as indirect pressures from trawling and dumping of offal on nursery ecosystems (e.g. coral communities, seamounts, bryozoan mats), and bycatch of non-target species (e.g. 1,000 marine mammals, several hundred seabirds, and many non-target fish per year). …
The new Fisheries Act 1996 recognises that environmental sustainability requires more than just sustaining the yield from target stocks but also requires the maintenance of marine biodiversity and ecosystems. …
Protected marine areas can act as both reservoirs of biodiversity and nurseries for some commercial fisheries yet, apart from the Kermadec and Auckland Islands, protected marine areas are under-represented in both our coastal and our deep water ecosystems, e.g. seamounts. (Ministry for the Environment, 1997, chapter 10.)
Progress since 1997
Since 1997, considerable effort has been made to strengthen marine information systems and put in place more extensive monitoring to improve the management of New Zealand's marine area. Government strategies, research funding, and management policies have collectively focused on improving our understanding of the marine environment, its ecosystems, and its biodiversity.
Limited knowledge of long-term impacts
In recent years, marine research in New Zealand has increased its emphasis on improving its understanding of the:
wider ecosystem effects of human activities on our marine area
distribution and structure of our marine ecosystems
interdependence between marine species and ecosystems.
Despite this shift, our knowledge of the long-term ecosystem impacts of human activities in the New Zealand marine environment remains somewhat limited. Bringing together land, freshwater, and marine research will be particularly important in studying the resilience of our inshore ecosystems to land-based pressures.
More about Māori indicators for marine protection
In 2004, Ngāti Konohi, the Department of Conservation, and the Ministry for the Environment worked together to establish a framework for marine protection for the rohe moana (coastal area) of Ngāti Konohi of Whangarā. The rohe extends from Waihau Bay in the north to Tatapouri Heads in the south, and includes Te Tapuwae o Rongokako Marine Reserve, established in 1999.
Identifying the indicators (tohu)
The project aimed to:
define a process to identify Māori marine indicators (tohu) that would measure the health of the rohe moana
pilot the implementation of tohu
test how marine reserves contribute to iwi conservation objectives.
The project involved members of Ngāti Konohi who regularly used the rohe moana to gather kaimoana (seafood). The project identified traditionally important locations and species and collected information on traditional catch techniques and customs relating to management of kaimoana. Using this information, tohu were developed by Ngāti Konohi to monitor changes in the health of their rohe moana and address problems using customary management practices.
Primary and secondary tohu
Ngāti Konohi established primary and secondary tohu.
Primary tohu were divided into species-focused and process-focused tohu. Species-focused tohu monitor the availability, accessibility, abundance, and quality of species of traditional importance. For example, tohu indicate whether kaimoana can be readily harvested to provide for customary needs.
Process-focused tohu monitor the condition and presence of processes that indicate a healthy marine environment. For example, seasonal observations of 'bait fish' feeding or predators (such as marine mammals or sea birds) were categorised as process-focused tohu.
Secondary tohu included:
a series of plots established at various locations in the rohe moana to quantify the size and location of key indicator species
data on water quality, shellfish health, and beach bathing standards from marine environmental monitoring undertaken by Gisborne District Council
a series of land-based tohu, which were defined to aid management of the rohe. These include the flowering seasons of the kōwhai, pōhutakawa, and tī kouka (cabbage tree) as indicators of ripeness of kina for harvesting.
The identification of marine environmental tohu has proven to be a catalyst for heightened interest in and awareness of marine protection in the area.
New tools to improve understanding
Since 1997, new marine databases and national coordination tools such as the National Aquatic Biodiversity Information System have become important aids to understanding our marine environments and their associated biodiversity.
New ecological classification systems have also helped us to better understand our marine environment. These classification systems include:
the Marine Environment Classification
the Marine Environment Classification optimised for demersal fish
the Demersal Fish Community Classification
the Coastal Biogeographic Regions Classification.
Marine monitoring programmes that have been implemented since 1997 include:
the non-indigenous marine species monitoring programme
regional monitoring of the quality of beach bathing water
regional monitoring of wastewater and stormwater discharges into the coastal marine area
estuarine and coastal monitoring of sedimentation, nutrients, and other pollutants
monitoring of Māori marine indicators (see box 'More about Māori indicators for marine protection')
the Ocean Survey 20/20 mapping initiative.
In addition, research funding was allocated in 2007 to gather more detailed information on commercial fish catches in coastal waters. The aim of this funding is to ensure that inshore fisheries are managed sustainably. The research aims to increase our understanding of interactions between target fish stocks, bycatch species, and fishing effects on the wider inshore environment, with a view to improved planning and management of inshore fisheries. The research is also expected to inform coastal planning decisions on marine protection and aquaculture development.
The protection of New Zealand's marine environment will continue to require a focus on biosecurity. Increased marine-based trade and travel as well as climate change are expected to add to the existing pressures of pests, diseases, and pathogens. Controlling these threats is important for protecting our fisheries and Marine Protected Areas as well as for preserving wider coastal amenity values (Ministry of Research, Science and Technology, 2007).
State of our fisheries
The Fisheries Act 1996 has been in place for more than a decade. Of the 99 fish stocks for which sufficient information is available to assess stock status, 85 per cent have been fished sustainably and 15 per cent have been overfished and are now being rebuilt.
It is difficult, however, to compare the 15 per cent of stocks overfished in 2007 with the 10 per cent of stocks overfished in 1997. The number of species in the quota management system has increased from 42 species in 1997 to 96 species in 2007, and the number of assessed fish stocks has increased from 74 to 99 over the same period. Furthermore, methodologies for assessing stocks have improved. Even so, it is clear that pressures on our fisheries stocks remain and our fish stocks will continue to need careful management into the future.
The pressures identified for our fisheries in the 1997 report remain important environmental issues in fisheries management today: bycatch, habitat destruction, and indirect and wider ecosystem impacts. Initiatives to address these issues include:
the Strategy for Managing the Environmental Effects of Fishing
the National Plan of Action to Reduce the Incidental Catch of Sea Birds in New Zealand Fisheries
industry-initiated benthic protection areas.
See box 'Government action on protecting the marine environment' for more information on government initiatives to protect the marine environment.
However, more monitoring and research into the effects of fisheries, including seabed trawling, on the wider ecosystem is warranted, because we have significant gaps in our understanding of the impacts of human activity on the marine environment.
Marine protection
Since the 1997 report, monitoring and research have conclusively demonstrated the positive effect of marine protection on both the size and abundance of marine life and the recovery of ecosystems under pressure.
In 1997, almost 7,602 square kilometres of New Zealand waters were protected in marine reserves. This area has increased by about 5,162 square kilometres in the last decade. Thirty-one marine reserves now comprise 7 per cent of our territorial sea, a high proportion by Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development standards. Nearly half of these have been established since 2000, and the area designated as marine reserves has nearly doubled in this time. However, 99 per cent of our protected area is in two offshore marine reserves, and some key habitats remain unprotected.
Progress on classifying the marine environment and developing and implementing a 10 per cent Marine Protected Area network throughout the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) (targeted for 2010) has been slow. However, the Marine Protected Areas Policy and Implementation Plan is expected to increase momentum to expand the network to fully represent the range of New Zealand's coastal and marine ecosystems and habitats (see box 'Government action on protecting the marine environment').
Other initiatives to protect important marine habitats from disturbance include:
proposed benthic protection areas (which will close 30 per cent of the EEZ to seabed trawling)
seamount closures (which will close 100,000 square kilometres to seabed trawling).
In addition, customary closures and restrictions are an integral part of fisheries management.
Recent years have also seen the emergence of innovative local initiatives for coastal management, such as the coastal management plan proposed by the Fiordland Guardians and supported by the Government.
Looking ahead
New Zealand's marine environment will continue to face pressures from fishing activities. In the light of improved information over time about fish stocks and the broader effects of fishing on marine ecosystems, the challenges will be to ensure fisheries are utilised in a sustainable way and to allow the recovery of stocks that have been overfished in the past.
Land-based pressures on the inshore marine environment will continue to challenge the health of our marine environment. Discharges of pollution, stormwater, nutrients, and sediments to the sea from land development appear unlikely to ease, given our increasing population and shift towards more intensive land use.
Balancing the competing needs of the users of our marine area will continue to be important and may become increasingly difficult as our population increases and technology advances. The need for accurate information to help set priorities for future use and protection of our marine area will increase.
In the future, greater attention is likely to turn to the significant changes to our oceans and coasts that climate change is expected to bring, and how New Zealand will respond.

These past few weeks I've had quite a few talks with people about what brokenness really is. What does it mean to be broken? And is it a positive thing to be broken?
I am well aware that in regular English something that's broken isn't a positive thing. Right now our beloved car is in a body and paint shop, because it's broken. It needs to be fixed to function properly again. Also, when we talk about people, 'a broken person' often means somebody where something devastating has happened to them, and they barely know how to get up in the morning. Maybe their spouse or child died, and they just don't seem to be able to find many reasons to live, and have in most ways lost hope.
Obviously, I think of something and somebody very different when I think, talk and teach about brokenness and what it means to be a broken person. Anybody in the Bible who is significant enough to be mentioned several times and had positive outcomes of their lives went through brokenness-experiences and came out as broken people ready to live and serve God in powerful, grace-filled ways. It would take too much space to go through all of them, but everyone from Moses, Abraham, Jacob, and David to Peter, John, Paul, and countless others of the heroes of faith in the Bible went through brokenness and show us what it means, in what I believe is a biblical understanding, to be a broken person.
Brokenness is a process we go through, and it can take a few years or it can take decades, where God exposes our fleshly attempts to live life, to have our core needs of love, acceptance, worth, and security met in our own strength, and he shows how it is truly impossible to live the Christian life we want to live and make a radical difference in this world as long as we attempt to do it in our own strength and based on our own understanding and wisdom.
Brokenness is God's gift to us where he exposes our sandcastles and causes them to fall, so we can learn to rest in who we are in him, and who he is, and build our houses on the only solid foundation of Christ.
Brokenness is necessarily painful, because ever since Adam and Eve fell in the Garden of Eden all human beings ever born have an inbuilt desire to rebel against God, and try to meet our needs in our own ways. We struggle to surrender control, and we often don't understand, even as Christians, that we truly are free to live the lives we want only when Christ is in control, and I just rest in him (John 15). Therefore God has to use all kinds of ways to encourage and invite us to surrender to him, and his love. But we must always remember that God doesn't desire for us to surrender to his power, but to his love and kindness (Romans 2:4).
I'll split this up in two entries and stop this one here. In my next blog entry, I'll talk about characteristics of a truly, broken person that God delights in and loves people through!
Blessings, Torben

Social Development Minister Bathabile Dlamini has sent a very strong message, saying that if nothing is done about women abuse there will be more cases like that of Karabo Mokoena.
The 22-year-old's burnt body was discovered in Lyndhurst last month her boyfriend Sandile Mantsoe has been arrested for her murder.
Dlamini is among the dignitaries at Mokoena's funeral service underway in Diepkloof Soweto on Friday.
She says there's a genocide against women in this country.
The minister says if nothing is done soon to address women abuse, women will continue to raped, murdered and victimised. Dlamini says she doesn't necessarily agree with the social media hashtag #menaretrash.
"I'm totally against the hashtag men are trash."
Minister for Women in the Presidency Susan Shabangu is also in attendance here. The 22-year-old will be laid to rest at the Westpark Cemetery later today.

If you want a job with one of Northcliffe Media's papers in the south east you'll need to get tweeting.
Alan Geere, one of the publisher's executives, posted an advert for reporters this morning in which he stated that applicants must reply via Twitter.
Geere, editor-in-chief of the Essex Chronicle group and editorial director of Northcliffe's south east division, explains why in his blog:
"I'm fed up wading through turgid 'letters of application' and monstrous CVs outlining an early career in retail handling and a flirtation with the upper slopes of the Andes.
I want reporters who can find stories that no-one else has got and write them quickly and accurately.
That's why in my latest recruitment ad potential recruits have to respond via Twitter. They've got 140 characters to tell me what they can do and why I should consider them."
So people eager to join one of his papers - whether at trainee or senior level, full time or part time (see list of papers) - have a week to craft a 140-character application.
Geere writes waspishly: "I keep getting told there is an over-supply of qualified people wanting to do journalism. Well, maybe there is but there's definitely not an over-supply of people who are any good."
Now that's what I call a challenge.

Ekkertinden Vandring
Preikestolen's twin
Viktig informasjon
- Destinasjon: Oppdal
- Sesong: mai-september
- Vanskelighetsgrad: Krevende
- Lengde: 9.4 kilometer (tur/retur)
- Stigning: 1,080 meter
- Varighet: 3-4.5 timer
Om Ekkertinden
Ekkertinden is one of those places, that you definitely want to visit. Almost everyone knows the famous Preikestolen, but this is Nordmøre's own top with a drop in their own backyard.
The hike is really steep and takes around two hours to get to the top, which stands in 1189 meters. But the view in the end is stunning and well worth the trip!
You can get to Gjøra where the trail starts by bus from Oppdal or Kristiansund. Oppdal is accessible by train from Oslo.
If you arrive by car you can park by Gjøra kapell and walk about 400 meters along the road until the trail starts on your left hand side.
The trail starts right by the road a bit north of Gjøra. It starts fairly steep throughout the forest, then flattens out before you climb the last meters up to Gjørashaugen. From there you will quickly reach the tree line and you will find a steep trail going up to the top. The top itself is very flat.
You can make this to a roundtrip by crossing over Litlhøa on the way back and from there down to Vollasetra. From Vollasetra just follow the trail down to Vollan and then follow the road back to Gjøra.
- There is a small supermarket in Gjøra
Your easiest option is to stay in Oppdal. Oppdal is a ski destination so you will find lots of options for hotels, cabins and even Airbnbs.

When Robert Coleman's house got egged, he called the University Park police. It was a Saturday night in September 2012. Officers came to the crime scene but found no leads, other than the splattered egg yolk. Coleman realized that his patio umbrella was also missing, according to the police report.
The following Saturday night, the eggs hit again. A neighbor told the cops that he saw two teenagers walking nearby around the same time.
Coleman installed a video camera security system, hoping to catch the egg-throwers. But when his house got hit again, the vandal spotted the camera and slapped it down.
Soon the vandals moved onto tougher objects. Coleman was sitting in his home one night when he heard the sound of glass breaking. His window had been hit with "an unknown object," according to a University Park Police Department report.
Another night, Coleman told police, he saw a car drive over his yard. The vehicle fled when he stepped outside.
The next year, Coleman was awakened by the sound of a bang. Cops, in Coleman's house yet again, found his front window was shattered and the kitchen had a strange smell. A smoke grenade rested on the ground.
Coleman counts at least 12 vandalism attacks on his home in the past three years. He says he's likely being targeted because he's a registered child sex offender. Now, Coleman has hope that some of the attackers will face harsh consequences.
University Park police have recently identified seven teenagers who egged Coleman's house this past April. "Threw a couple eggs at the side of his house then drove away. It was a stupid mistake that I regret doing," says a statement written by Austin Roberts, a 17-year-old Highland Park High School student. Police say he drove one of the getaway cars that night, a Porsche. "I am truly sorry for any damage, glad to help," he wrote.
Coleman, pushing for prison time, has told police that if the perpetrators aren't charged with a felony, he "will be put in the crosshairs of an escalated attack and will not feel safe at home, and it will signal open season to other non-heterosexuals, RSO's, and the elderly."
Coleman is classified by the state as a low-risk sex offender. He was convicted of sexual assault of a child in 1980 and 1983. He was charged for the offense again in 2006 in Dallas County after an alleged victim went to police, reporting a relationship he had with Coleman dating back ten years earlier, when the victim would have been 15. The case resulted in a hung jury, as the News reported in 2010. "There's nothing say. It's a matter of public record," he tells Unfair Park, declining to speak further about any of the cases.
He's lived in University Park for over 30 years, and he said his neighbors never gave him trouble for his criminal history, perhaps because they didn't know. That all changed in 2010, after Coleman encountered teenage boy playing saxophone in the street. He filmed the boy performing. "I said, 'You mind if I film a video of you playing a song?' And he said, 'No problem,' and that's what that was all about," Coleman says, describing the encounter as totally innocent.
But the footage disturbed a mother, who then notified the police, according to a local news report at the time.
Though Coleman wasn't charged in connection with that incident, it alerted the University Park PD to the fact that he was required to register as a sex offender under a law that had recently gone into effect in Texas. The news, obviously, didn't go over well. ("Bryn Mawr Resident Registers as Sex Offender with University Park Police Department," was the headline on Park Cities People in 2010, and the case also got write-ups in the News).
And now his house is a popular target for eggs and other stuff.
University Park police say that they have no evidence the attacks were coming from the same group of people. Though they never caught the people behind the previous attacks, UPPD Lieutenant John Ball says he's proud that detectives were finally able to identify suspects in this case.

"I'm very pleased that we spent many hours looking for these offenders, and making sure that they're brought to the courts for prosecution," Ball tells Unfair Park.
The police originally tried to turn the case over to the Dallas County district attorney, after Coleman provided a bill showing that it cost him more than $1,500 to remove the egg stains and repaint his house. But prosecutors declined to prosecute. The teenagers are instead being charged with Class C misdemeanors in municipal court. The trial isn't scheduled yet.
With their addresses posted online, registered sex offenders can make easy targets of crime. Last year, a man in South Carolina went on a killing spree, selecting child abusers his victims. Coleman argues that charging the teens with a felony will send a message to the others tempted to have some fun at his expense that they're not above the law.
The attacks have stopped recently. Word got around, Coleman says, that people are getting caught. But it will only stop for good if those caught are punished. Otherwise, he wrote, "HPHS students with easy access to cash from their rich parents in Park Cities may feel entitled to break the law with impunity."

Recently, I have ventured into unknown writing territory. I am writing a sequel to the manuscript I poured my heart, soul, and sometimes even tears into, and I couldn't be more excited about it.
I also couldn't be more nervous.
It seems that when it comes to movie sequels, the most common review is something along the lines of, "It wasn't as good as the original." And for the most part, I'd have to agree. "Ghostbusters II" is good, but the first is much better. (My brother was a HUGE fan of this series growing up, which made me one, too.) I haven't seen "Dumb & Dumber To," but I'd bet money that the original is far superior. Don't even get me started on "Halloween II" (or 3, 4, 5, 6…) And the list goes on & on. Of course, there are some exceptions to the rule. For instance, in my humble opinion, I thought "Catching Fire" was a bit better than "Hunger Games." And honestly, my favorite of the HP movies would be "Prisoner of Azkaban" & "The Deathly Hallows" (1 & 2).
When it comes to books, though, it's hard for me to think of a sequel I preferred over the original. In YA, I'm drawn to a fair share of stand-alones, but give me a interesting, thought-provoking trilogy any day. Over the past few years, I've swam alongside the dystopian wave, and most of those, if not all, tend to be trilogies. Three particular series really stuck with me, and I was sucked in from the first installments through their conclusions. I have to say, in each of these three series, the first books were my favorites, the second books held my attention and were good but not quite the same, and the final installments felt satisfying for the most part, though I usually found myself disappointed the author didn't explain or wrap up subplots X, Y & Z. Of course, I would imagine most readers might feel this way with conclusions to series, and authors shouldn't have to explain every little thing. Maybe sometimes they want us to think between the lines and make up our own minds about certain aspects of their stories. Maybe they want to leave us with permanent question marks floating above our heads. This, I believe, is one of the reasons I prefer the first parts of series — nothing is concluded yet, and most of them even end with a surprise twist or cliff-hanger I really didn't see coming!
As far as the manuscript I just completed goes, my hope is that I ended it with the kind of hook that would have readers dying to read the sequel to find out what happens next. And since it's a duology, the second installment will also be the conclusion. I can't help but feel anxious about it, knowing the original will probably remain my favorite of the two. But at the same time, I'm excited to try something new, and I plan to give it my all just like I did with the first one. Who knows, maybe it'll be like Empire Strikes Back and will be better than the first! It could happen, right? (My brother was a Star Wars fan, too. And I may or may not own a Wicket stuffed animal.)

Preparation was key for head coach Wagstaff as Barking see off Ipswich
PUBLISHED: 17:45 07 October 2014 | UPDATED: 17:45 07 October 2014
London One North: Barking 64 Ipswich 14
Barking head coach Steve Wagstaff was glad to see his side come up trumps against Ipswich at the weekend.
The Goresbrook outfit ran in 10 tries on their way to a comfortable victory as they put the division's newcomers to the sword.
And Wagstaff admitted the atmosphere had been just right in the build-up to the game.
He said: "We had a couple of good training sessions on Tuesday and Thursday and that put us in a good frame of mind.
"We looked over a few videos during the week and the boys executed the plan really well and the performance was very good.
"It built on two solid weeks, and though we hadn't picked up the results in those two games it had certainly laid the foundations."
Barking shared around the tries at Gale Street with doubles from Tom Bateman, Sam Randle, Shaun Turner and Elliot Brown, while Ryan Keates and Ben Lloyd also went over.
Player-coach Lloyd added seven conversions for a 19-point haul in the win, and though Wagstaff believed there wasn't a bad performance in sight, he had special praise for Steve Hayes.
"Ben told the Post last week we were just inches away from clicking and we did just that at the weekend," he added.
"Nobody really put in a bad performance, but Steve Hayes deserves a lot of plaudits.
"He's not a star man going forward, but he certainly put a lot of work in. He did all the dirty work really well and he was my man of the match.
"But credit must go to all of the boys as they all delivered."

DIRECTOR: Theodore Melfi
CAST: Taraji P. Henson, Octavia Spencer, Janelle Monáe, Kevin Costner, Kirsten Dunst, Jim Parsons, Glen Powell, Mahershala Ali, Donna Biscoe, Rhoda Griffis, Maria Howell, Aldis Hodge, Paige Nicollette, Gary Weeks, Saniyya Sidney, Kimberly Quinn, Olek Krupa
RUNNING TIME: 127 mins
BASICALLY…: In the 1960s, a team of African-American women provide NASA with enough mathematical data to accelerate further in the Space Race…
Sometimes, when a film truly connects with an audience through its positive messages and uplifting attitude, it can fill you with such hope for humanity. Recent films like La La Land and Arrival became successes exactly for that reason, because not only were they great movies that benefited hugely from word of mouth, but they also contained strong vibes that we as a species, in our increasingly hostile political environment, desperately need right now.
The same applies for Hidden Figures, which has already become a huge hit in the States both with critics and audiences, and has brought to light the story of the people who contributed so much to the NASA space program in the 1960s, yet have never been truly recognised until now. But thanks to a crowd-pleasing mentality by director and co-writer Theodore Melfi (whose previous film was the Bill Murray vehicle St. Vincent), their stories are now officially part of the cultural zeitgeist.
In the film, we follow three African-American women that are part of NASA's human "computers" section in the segregated division on the institution's Virginia base. They each have their own sub-plots that ultimately tie into their overall contribution to the science and intelligence that helped propel the United States further ahead against the Soviet Union in the Space Race; Octavia Spencer plays Dorothy Vaughn, who seeks to become NASA's first African-American supervisor as the IBM data processing system comes into fruition; Janelle Monáe is Mary Jackson, an aspiring engineer who must take her case to court when she is denied access to a whites-only adult school to gain her degree; and finally, Taraji P. Henson is maths genius Katherine Goble, who is invited to become the first coloured member of the Space Task Group, and whose natural ability to deduce complicated equations eventually helped astronaut John Glenn (Glen Powell) complete the first American-manned orbit of Earth.
Henson is given the most screen-time out of all three, effectively making her the lead, but whatever way you look at it this is very much an ensemble film. All three women are so much fun to watch, whether they're together and just buzzing with all that chemistry between them, or individually when they are dealing with their own problems in mindful and respectful manners (and between this and Moonlight, is it okay for me to now say I have something of a crush on Janelle Monáe? I think it's okay to say that now). The supporting cast is great too, with standouts including Kevin Costner being kind of awesome as the Space Task Group director Al Harrison, a fictional composite of a few real-life NASA heads at the time, Mahershala Ali popping up in a fairly small role as Katherine's future husband, and even Jim Parsons manages to play a scientific egghead and NOT be completely intolerable for once. It's easy to see why this film recently won the Best Cast Ensemble prize at the Screen Actors Guild awards, because the cast is so strong and likable that they carry the weight of the film on their collective shoulders.
But it is also a film that shows just how important unity really can be, and if it weren't for segregation laws and institutional racism that plagued America in the 1960s, who knows where we would all be today? Melfi and co-writer Allison Schroeder – who has come a long way since writing the direct-to-video sequel to Mean Girls – approach the story as not one of racial divide or persecution, but as one of celebration of what these real women actually accomplished, at a time when it was all but impossible for any coloured individual to progress in any field. The writers represent them as strong-willed and determined individuals whose intelligence and natural talents with math and science are their superpowers, but are also subject to the same kind of emotional downfalls as any other person, which grounds them and makes them human. They also manage to achieve the impossible and make learning about NASA not boring; you find yourself interested in how this particular institute works, and how it relies on pure brain power to calculate the most impossible of trajectories, before computers could come in and effectively rob them of their work. It's great to see something as potentially uninteresting as NASA be given such a lease of life on the big screen, giving younger people aspirations to gain the same amount of intelligence to eventually join their ranks.
It's very much a crowd-pleasing movie, one that can appear to be too safe when dealing with subjects like racism in 60s America, and one that critics of biopic clichés will probably find plenty to nit-pick here. But even though some of it may seem corny, it's done well enough to still make you have a good time while watching it, whether it's enjoying the ensemble performances by its talented cast, or appreciating the direction and writing that make the subject matter all the more interesting and, even more importantly, fun. I can definitely see a lot of people really liking Hidden Figures, as they should; it's a timely and heart-warming movie that finally gives these people the recognition they deserve.
Hidden Figures is an uplifting and heart-warming celebration of the African-American women who helped NASA during the Space Race, combining a wonderful ensemble cast with writing and direction that really makes the institute and the events surrounding it interesting for a wider audience, and making it a genuinely fascinating and entertaining movie for young people to take inspiration from in the future.

Hmmm... gave up trying to get the update to download last night. Tried again today and on the first attempt it downloaded fully in less than a minute.I've tried stopping and restarting 3 times and the same happens each time. I've even turned the computer off and back on and its still stuck right at the end of the Sync Files bar. Its been there for over an hour now. :-(
Now, who do I talk to about the lost missions and damage to local Rep suffered as a result of not being able to start the game?
Here's the situation after I finally managed to log on. Note that the value of the commodities I was stacking up (the idea was that I do all the hard work then a friend wings up and contributes just one unit to each mission to give them a nice payout) was around 20M credits.
Quite narked about this!

(By Protégez-Vous in partnership with the Institut universitaire de gériatrie de Montréal)
Is the pain in your shoulders making it hard for you to lift your pots and pans? Back pain preventing you from walking to the corner store? Pain is a common complaint among seniors. Fortunately, there are ways to reduce your suffering. This article tells you how.
A few facts on chronic pain
Did you know that an estimated 50 percent of seniors suffer from chronic pain – that is, pain lasting more than three months? Chronic pain can be serious enough to prevent people from taking part in daily activities and caring for themselves or their home.
Chronic pain can also cause sleep problems, memory loss, mobility issues, reduced appetite, weight loss and, if it lasts for a prolonged period, depression.
The fact that it is common in seniors does not mean that we just sit idly by and do nothing. Every effort must be made to manage the pain as much as possible.
Medications to relieve chronic pain
Many classes of drugs are used to treat pain. Some are available without a prescription at your local pharmacy. Consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking any of these products. They can recommend various options depending on your needs and state of health.
- Acetaminophen (e.g., Tylenol or Atasol) is generally a safe, effective pain treatment option. Do not exceed the maximum dose of 3 g per day.
- Anti-inflammatory drugs are usually not recommended for seniors. It is better to take them only when prescribed by a doctor. He or she must be familiar with your state of health before prescribing this type of pain reliever.
- For more severe pain, opiates (narcotics) can be prescribed by a doctor. The dose and frequency must be followed to the letter, since some of these drugs work for four hours, while others work for 12 to 24 hours, offering longer lasting relief.
- Other medications can be used to treat pain caused by nerve damage. Antidepressants and anti-epileptic drugs are some of the other options available by prescription. As surprising as this may be, these drugs actually do work by acting directly on the pain.
Alternative solutions to relieve chronic pain
While medication is useful in reducing pain, other drug-free solutions should not be overlooked.
Regular, progressive exercise helps you focus on the activity at hand and less on the pain. It is natural for pain to slightly increase when you first start exercising, but it will gradually decrease through the practice of simple exercises suited to your state of health.
Physiotherapists can help patients determine the exercises they should be doing based on their type of pain. They can also use various physical pain management techniques such as ultrasound, the application of heat and cold and TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation). This technique helps relieve pain using a low intensity electric current transmitted to the painful area through electrodes placed on the skin.
To have access to physiotherapy services, ask your attending physician for a consultation form.
Enjoyable activities
Chronic pain can cause irritability, anxiety and even major depression. If it strikes, it is important to seek help from specialists and take good care of yourself. Pain can affect a person's morale, but a person's morale can also influence his or her perception of the pain. That's why you must do your best to not let it take over your entire life, by continuing to take part in enjoyable activities. Even if the pain is not in your head, it will be less bothersome if you distract yourself with pleasant activities and positive thoughts.
As for relaxation exercises, they can contribute to calming the mind, relaxing the muscles and reducing muscle pain. Consulting a psychologist can also help better manage and accept chronic pain. To find a psychologist, visit the Ordre des psychologues du Québec Website or call your CLSC.
Managing chronic pain with the help of specialists
An interdisciplinary team of health professionals (with a doctor, nurse, physiotherapist, psychologist or other specialist) can be useful in implementing a pain management treatment plan. Pain management clinics usually work in such teams. They are generally associated with major university hospitals.
To get an appointment with a team of pain management specialists, talk to your family doctor.
Finding information and support on managing chronic pain
If you are dealing with chronic pain, you can learn to better control your condition using a combination of approaches. It is important, however, that you have realistic expectations and clearly defined objectives. The ultimate goal of treatment is not to completely eliminate the pain, but rather to improve your functioning ability and quality of life. This requires you to play an active role in managing your pain.
The Association québécoise de la douleur chronique provides information and support to those living with chronic pain. Consult their website for more details.

Bakkhali Beach Itineraries
Tajpur Beach
Do you love to run after red crabs? If so then you must spend at least a day in Tajpur beach which is located just in between Digha and Mandarmani beach. This inverted crescent-shaped beach will welcome you with its own richness, freshness and crimson red appearance. While strolling around the white beach of Tajpur, popping heads of the running crabs will bring a smile on your face and the cool sea breeze will play with your hair or kiss your cheeks. Besides spending quality time at the main beach, you can also take a short tour around the nearby fishermen' village and the "Mohona". Paragliding, biking, and other adventure sports are also offered in Tajpur beach.
Nature camps, hotels, and many resorts have been newly constructed in beach area to give the visitors a relaxing holiday. Authentic Bengali cuisines and freshly prepared sea fishes are served in both the resorts and local restaurants.
How to reach:
Being situated at a distance of 14 km from Digha, Tajpur beach is easily accessible from Digha by any public transport or hired car. If you are traveling by train from Kolkata then you have to reach at Balasai station from where you will get frequent local buses heading towards Tajpur. You may also reach Tajpur by your own car from your feasible nearest destination.
Talasari Beach
In Balasore district of Orissa Talasari has been newly discovered as a beautiful beach town which is just 8-9 km away from popular tourist spot Digha beach. Clean beach of Talasari is beautified with silent sea waves, series of trees, fishing harbors, boat making factories and unexploited calm atmosphere. A long walk along the beach, a short visit at its nearby Chandaneswar temple and friendly interactions with local dwellers will make your trip worthy.
Odisha development corporation has its own guest house in Talasari beach where comfortable luxurious rooms (with all modern facilities) are offered to the guests on prior booking. Both Oriya and Bengal style cuisines are served in the hotels as well as in local eateries.
How to reach:
Talasari beach can be reached by both Bengal and Orissa. You can take your feasible route from Kolkata or Balasore. While you are coming from Kolkata you have to board on Digha bound bus or train and from Digha you will get local transport or shared car to reach directly at Talasari beach.
Bankiput Beach
At a distance of around 160 km from the bustling city, Kolkata Bankiput beach is rich with its own unique beauty. Besides its widely expanded white sandy beach, Bankiput has gained its popularity because of its other eye-catching attractions – Kapalkundala temple (mentioned in Bankim Chandra Chattopadhya's novel), Deshpran fishing harbor and Dariapur Lighthouse. From the top of the lighthouse you would be enchanted by the 360-degree panoramic view of the entire Bankiput sea beach.
As the beach has not been explored as a tourist spot till date so there is only a few resorts as available accommodations. Minimum basic facilities and adequate meals are provided by the resort's authority but it is recommended to ring them in advance to avail all facilities. Local transports are easily available for sightseeing.
How to reach:
To reach Bankiput sea beach you have to board on Digha bound train or bus from Howrah station (Kolkata) or Esplanade bus terminus (Kolkata) and come to Kanthi station or bus stand. From Kanthi, you will get frequent public transport or shared car to take a direct entry in Bankiput sea beach. Private cars also run between Kolkata and Bankiput.
Mandarmani Beach
For sea lovers and the couples who are looking for an ideal escape from their daily monotonous lives, Mandarmani beach is one of the favorite weekend gateways. Although it is not so far from the main Digha beach yet it is still untouched by the commercial pollution and busy crowd. This lonely beach wraps its visitors with its exotic beauty, spotless beauty, proven privacy and clean environment. Whenever you are in Mandarmani, you would be pleased to create some beautiful memories with your loved ones by enjoying a long walk in its pristine beach or playing with the calm waves or just sitting for some hours in its seashore.
A good number of private hotels, resorts, and guest houses are available in Mandarmani where all modern facilities are provided at an affordable price. Local cuisines of the beach are dominated by seafood although Indian, Chinese and Continental dishes are also served in the local bistros.

Please Wait
Thorlabs' 50 mm Travel Motorized Translation Stages are designed for applications that require stability, long travel, and high load capacity. Horizontal and vertical loads up to 48 kg (105 lbs) and 10 kg (22 lbs) are supported, respectively. Each stage's moving platform is equipped with thirteen 1/4"-20 (M6) taps for compatibility with standard optomechanics.
The moving platform contains holes for alignment pins that ensure orthogonality when the stage is stacked with other stages or connected to our accessories. The rigidity of the thermally matched, all-steel construction, along with the heavy-duty cross-roller bearings, provides precision motion and long life, even in less-than-ideal conditions.
The LNR502(/M) non-encoded translation stage offers a minimum repeatable incremental movement of 1 µm and ±3.9 µm of bidirectional repeatability. For even more precise movement, the LNR502E(/M) Encoded Translation Stage combines a linear optical encoder and everything included with the LNR502(/M) stage to achieve a minimum repeatable incremental movement of 0.1 µm and improved bidirectional repeatability of ±0.75 µm.

Thorlabs offers two platforms to drive our wide range of motion controllers: our Kinesis® software package or the legacy APT™ (Advanced Positioning Technology) software package. Either package can be used to control devices in the Kinesis family, which covers a wide range of motion controllers ranging from small, low-powered, single-channel drivers (such as the K-Cubes™ and T-Cubes™) to high-power, multi-channel, modular 19" rack nanopositioning systems (the APT Rack System).
The Kinesis Software features .NET controls which can be used by 3rd party developers working in the latest C#, Visual Basic, LabVIEW™, or any .NET compatible languages to create custom applications. Low-level DLL libraries are included for applications not expected to use the .NET framework. A Central Sequence Manager supports integration and synchronization of all Thorlabs motion control hardware.
Kinesis GUI Screen
APT GUI Screen
Our legacy APT System Software platform offers ActiveX-based controls which can be used by 3rd party developers working on C#, Visual Basic, LabVIEW™, or any Active-X compatible languages to create custom applications and includes a simulator mode to assist in developing custom applications without requiring hardware.
By providing these common software platforms, Thorlabs has ensured that users can easily mix and match any of the Kinesis and APT controllers in a single application, while only having to learn a single set of software tools. In this way, it is perfectly feasible to combine any of the controllers from single-axis to multi-axis systems and control all from a single, PC-based unified software interface.
The software packages allow two methods of usage: graphical user interface (GUI) utilities for direct interaction with and control of the controllers 'out of the box', and a set of programming interfaces that allow custom-integrated positioning and alignment solutions to be easily programmed in the development language of choice.
A range of video tutorials is available to help explain our APT system software. These tutorials provide an overview of the software and the APT Config utility. Additionally, a tutorial video is available to explain how to select simulator mode within the software, which allows the user to experiment with the software without a controller connected. Please select the APT Tutorials tab above to view these videos.
Kinesis Version 1.14.24
The Kinesis Software Package, which includes a GUI for control of Thorlabs' Kinesis and APT™ system controllers.
Also Available:
These videos illustrate some of the basics of using the APT System Software from both a non-programming and a programming point of view. There are videos that illustrate usage of the supplied APT utilities that allow immediate control of the APT controllers out of the box. There are also a number of videos that explain the basics of programming custom software applications using Visual Basic, LabView and Visual C++. Watch the videos now to see what we mean.
To further assist programmers, a guide to programming the APT software in LabView is also available.

Thorlabs' LNR502(/M) TravelMax Motorized Translation Stage is designed for long travel and horizontal load capacities up to 48 kg (105 lbs). The stage is made from thermally matched steel for high stability even in less-than-ideal conditions. For compatibility with a wide variety of optomechanical setups, the stage incorporates a 3.94" x 3.94" (100.0 mm x 100.0 mm) moving platform with thirteen 1/4"-20 (M6) tapped holes and can be stacked with additional LNR502 stages in XY, XZ, and XYZ configurations using the adapters sold below.
This motorized translation stage incorporates a DRV250 Stepper Motor Drive. A controller must be purchased separately; we recommend pairing with our BSC201, BSC202, or BSC203 Stepper Motor Controllers to obtain optimal performance and a minimum achievable incremental movement of 0.05 µm.
The motor cable that is built into the DRV250 stepper motor actuator is 0.5 mm (1.64 ft) long. A 3 m (9.8 ft) PAA613 cable is included with this stage for use with our benchtop controllers. Replacement cables are available at the bottom of the page.

The LNR502E(/M) TravelMax Motorized Translation Stage combines the LNR502(/M) motorized translation stage (sold above) with an integrated linear optical encoder to reduce the minimum repeatable incremental movement from 1 µm to 0.1 µm and the bidirectional repeatability from ±3.9 µm to ±0.75 µm. This stage is designed for applications where stability, long travel, and high horizontal load capacity [48 kg (105 lbs)] need to be coupled with absolute position accuracy.
As with the LNR502 stage above, the encoded version has a 3.94" x 3.94" (100.0 mm x 100.0 mm) moving platform with thirteen 1/4"-20 (M6) tapped holes and can be stacked with additional LNR502 stages in XY, XZ, and XYZ configurations using the adapters sold below.
Dedicated software that takes full advantage of the high-resolution linear optical encoder is included. This software, when combined with one of Thorlabs' BSC201, BSC202, or BSC203 closed-loop stepper motor controllers, can provide an application solution that is fully operational out of the box.
This translation stage's linear optical encoder is directly attached to the stage's moving platform to provide the necessary feedback to the drive electronics. Since the encoder provides a direct readout of the absolute position, the mechanical positioning errors associated with backlash can be ignored.
The motor cable that is built into the DRV250 stepper motor actuator is 0.5 m (1.64 ft) long. A 3 m (9.8 ft) PAA613 cable is included with this stage for use with our benchtop controllers. Replacement cables are available at the bottom of the page.

The LNR50P3(/M) XY Mounting Adapter provides the necessary clearance between separate LNR502(/M) and LNR502E(/M) translation stages for a left- or right-handed XY translation stage configuration. On the adapter, there are six 1/4"-20 (M6) tapped holes, four dowel pin holes, one counterbore for 1/4"-20 (M6) cap screws, and two Ø0.29" (7.5 mm) through holes. An example of an XY arrangement is shown to the right. This was assembled using the LNR50P3 Mounting Adapter, LNR50P4 Base Plate, and two LNR50 Series Translation Stages. By incorporating a third translation stage and an LNR50P2(/M) Right-Angle Bracket (sold below), a left- or right-handed XYZ translation stage can also be constructed. Dowel pins are included for easy alignment of the stage.

Religion sparks controversy in international sports realm
By Xavier Bleuel–
On Feb. 10, 19-year old Gabriel Kadiev's entry in the 80th minute at Teddy Stadium may have seemed like a normal substitution on paper, but to those watching, it was a groundbreaking and historic moment.
He was the first Muslim or Arab player to ever take the field for the club in its 77-year history.
A recent documentary by ESPN's Jeremy Schaap aired late last year on ESPN's program "E:60," revealing a dark and malicious side to one of Israeli's most iconic soccer clubs, Beitar Jerusalem. In the documentary, we learn that the club had long refused to sign a Muslim or Arab player, making them the only team in the Israel never to do so.
The soccer club has been known for its radical fan group called "La Familia." Videos show them taunting opposing Muslim or Arab players, shouting "death to Arabs" and "Allah is dead," among other slurs. Their disheartening videos of anti-Arab chants performed by children show they intend to create a long-lasting tradition of this negative behavior. They are the main force behind the club not signing specific athletes.
This unprecedented measure sparked outrage around the world, especially since the sport of soccer has tried to combat racism and all forms of discrimination through different marketing campaigns. On Jan. 30, owner Arkady Gaydamak decided to go against tradition and the beliefs of "La Familia" by signing two Chechen Muslims: the aforementioned Kadiev and 23-year-old Zaur Sadayev. Protests and counters protest ensued. Offices at Beitar were burned down, destroying countless trophies and memorabilia of the famous club. More than a week later on Feb. 8, "La Familia" members allegedly set arson to Beitar's offices, ruining many trophies and awards.
However, things are getting better for the club and their overall perception. Israel's President Shimon Peres spoke out and condemned the actions by these fans. Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat was present and more than 500 police officers were on hand as the Chechen Muslim played his first game against Bnei Sakhnin. Once he came on to the field and made contact with the ball, thousands of fans cheered, drowning out the boo's by the few who opposed.
"I came today to show that not all Beitar fans are punks and racists,'' said Yair Sina, a 49-year-old lifelong Beitar fan. "I won't let them take away my love for the team.''

PALMER, Mass. - Mohegan Sun says it plans to ask for a recount after voters in Palmer narrowly rejected its plan for a $1 billion resort casino and entertainment complex in the central Massachusetts town.
The town clerk says the proposal lost by 93 of the 5200 total votes cast on Tuesday.
In a statement, Mohegan Sun said it would request a hand recount because of what it called "very troubling" technical problems with a voting machine in one of the town's precincts.
If the vote stands, it would deal a crushing blow to the Connecticut casino operator's hopes of applying to the state's gambling commission for the sole western Massachusetts casino license allowed under the state's 2011 gambling law.
Opponents of the casino said it would destroy the town's rural character.
