Limor Fried is a maker's maker. Sure, she's got prime geek credentials: She earned an electrical engineering degree from MIT, invented several delightfully nerdy things to do with Altoid tins, and reverse-engineered the legendary Roland TB-303 synthesizer. Now she runs Adafruit Industries, a New York City company that makes open source electronics kits and components for the growing tide of DIYers who are inventing the future. But that's not why she's on the cover of Wired. This is why:
1. She created the Tweet-a-Watt, which combines an off-the-shelf Kill A Watt power meter with an Arduino computer board and an XBee wireless module. It sends data about your electricity consumption to Twitter.
2. She produces the insanely geeky Ask an Engineer video chats, like the one on using electroluminescent wire to make your own Tron laptop bag.
3. She's one of a small number of people responsible for the Arduino revolution in the US. Grazie!
4. She's leading the open source hardware movement, which may soon join open source software as a world-changing phenomenon that reinvents everything from business models to invention itself.
5. She hosted a contest to hack the Microsoft Kinect. The $3,000 prize was won in days.
6. She runs a pick-and-place machine (a circuit-board-assembling robot) in the heart of Manhattan.
7. She wrote her own postal, FedEx, and UPS interfacing software, an essential tool for any small ecommerce company.
8. Adafruit has one of the best open source electronics blogs out there (in part due to Fried's business partner, Phillip Torrone, a legendary hardware-hacking evangelist). I learned practically everything I know about electronics from her.
9. She created one of the first community-led electronics companies. At Adafruit, the forums come first and the founders' voices are front and center. This is the way companies should work.
10. Her cat is named MOSFET, as in the metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor.
Chris Anderson: We've had the notion of garages, workshops, sheds, and DIY tinkering for a long time. And yet there's a sense that something's different now. What characterizes the 21st-century maker model to you?
Limor Fried: One of the things about doing projects is that documenting them and sharing them with people used to be really difficult. Now we see so many people putting up videos, and it's so easy. I can make a five-minute video in an hour, with a preface and edits and nice audio and everything. And I think that makes a difference, because when people are exposed to this stuff and they actually get to see it, they get inspired.
There are also so many really great websites where people can share their projects. We have Instructables and iFixit and Etsy and Make and Hack a Day and our own Adafruit. So people who used to do this stuff alone now have even more community. It used to be just freaks in garages; now it's freaks in garages working together.
And finally, I think we're actually in a sweet spot where we've kind of captured what Phillip Torrone likes to call "skateboarding culture." Where skateboarding used to be just skateboarding, now skateboarding has turned into a video-sharing competition hobby. It seriously raises the bar.
For example, at Adafruit we'll make a "wave shield" [an audio-playing add-on for an Arduino development board], and we'll show a simple demo. That's the first entry. Then somebody will turn it into a talking alarm clock. And then a week later someone will make a Professor X steampunk chair that makes strange sounds and produces a vodka-distilled drink at the same time. So there's always this sense of one-upmanship.
Chris Anderson: How important is it that so many of these projects can be saved in digital form and traded online?
Limor Fried: Sharing the files is just the accelerant. In the past, you've always been able to read about other people's projects and watch them on TV. But there's been this separation between you and what was done. Today when people post their laser cutter files, it's easy. You can pick and choose from existing technologies and other people's work. I don't think it's cheating — I think people are really learning. And here again, they have to one-up. You can't just make the same alarm clock that talks to you in the morning; you have to do something cooler and better and brighter and faster and, you know, geekier.
Chris Anderson: I remember when I was a kid, I subscribed to Popular Mechanics. And in the back there were always these little classified ads where you could buy blueprints and plans. I remember one for a submarine. I dutifully paid my $4.99 or whatever, and the plans arrived in a big thick envelope. And the first part you needed was a P51 external fuel tank. Where was I supposed to find that?
Limor Fried: Exactly! I used to sew a lot. So pre-Internet I would do sewing projects at home. And again, there were magazines where in the back you could buy patterns. But then you got the pattern and you could kind of get it working and figure it out, but you didn't know what it was supposed to look like really, and the instructions really sucked. Now, having a community like Instructables or Etsy, where people actually help each other, people are using the plans and making them even better.
The New Maker Toolbox
Mark Frauenfelder, editor in chief of Make magazine, explains what's inside the 21st-century maker's arsenal.
Computer-Aided Design Software
CAD software can be used to make 3-D models of your project. Just a few years ago, most CAD packages were prohibitively expensive, hard to use, or both. But today you can get excellent 3-D design software for less than $100. Solid modeling tools like Alibre Design Personal Edition ($99) let you work on individual components and see how they fit together in a larger assembly. "Wire mesh" programs such as Google SketchUp and Blender can be downloaded for free.
Computer Numerical Control Machines
After you've used your CAD software to design a gear for your robot or a new kind of brake caliper for your mountain bike, you can manufacture these parts using CNC equipment. These machines take your CAD data and carve the part out of a solid piece of stock, such as aluminum, wood, or plastic. The most common types of CNC machines are mills and lathes. A mill has a high-speed rotating bit that moves relative to the stock along three axes. A lathe, by contrast, spins the stock itself while a stationary blade carves away material. CNC equipment can also be used to drill and engrave material. Desktop models like the Taig Tools CNC Mill start at about $2,000, but many makers opt to build their own machines for less than a grand. For more powerful equipment, you can join TechShop, which provides access to CNC machinery at three (soon to be seven) locations nationwide, plus the training to use it.
3-D Printers
Unlike mills and lathes, which make parts by removing material from a solid block of stock, 3-D printers make physical objects by adding material a little at a time. Several kinds of 3-D printing technologies are available. Selective laser sintering uses high-temperature lasers to melt powdered metal or plastic into durable 3-D parts. In stereolithography, a laser solidifies photosensitive liquid polymer, layer by layer, while laminated object manufacturing uses glue to bond layers of material that have been cut by a blade or a laser-cutter. MakerBot's entry-level 3-D printer, the Thing-O-Matic ($1,300), uses fused deposition modeling to melt a filament — made of the same plastic used in Lego bricks — fed from a spool to its heated nozzle.
Arduino Microcontroller
This $30 open source device allows designers and artists to make interactive objects. Want a box that dispenses a gumball when you give it a secret knock? How about a fully automated yogurt maker or a wireless backyard weather station? An Arduino board can help you realize these projects in a fraction of the time it would take with discrete components. You connect things to its input pins (sensors, say, or buttons) and output pins (LEDs, motors, sirens, servos, and more). Then use the free Arduino software (Mac, Windows, and Linux compatible) to write a program that tells the outputs what to do with the input signals. Arduino isn't the only microcontroller platform out there, but its simplicity and versatility have made it the leader. A huge community of developers have published thousands of code examples you can download and incorporate into your own projects.
Rapid-Prototyping Services
When the desktop publishing revolution kicked off in the 1980s, laser printers cost more than $3,000. At that time, most designers took floppy disks to a service bureau to have their work printed out. Desktop manufacturers face a similar situation today. High-end 3-D printers can easily cost $50,000, but with rapid-prototyping services from companies like Ponoko and Shapeways, makers can upload their designs and have them made out of wood, plastic, rubber, or metals ranging from aluminum to titanium. What's more, these companies offer platforms for selling your products to others — letting you be not just a maker but a mini-mogul.
Chris Anderson: Why is this all happening now and not five years ago?
Limor Fried: I think it just needed steam. Five years ago I could count the number of really good maker sites on one or two hands. I remember even six years ago, when Make first came out, and I was like, wow, will they find enough stuff to put in the magazine? And now, of course, it's ridiculous. They could fill 10 magazines' worth every month.
Chris Anderson: What helped build up that steam?
Limor Fried: Having websites that sell parts online is a really big deal. It used to be that if you wanted to order parts to make something, you had to dig through a catalog, and they probably wouldn't even send you one if you weren't a professional. Now everything is online. You can just Google the parts to make your submarine.
Chris Anderson: But how big is this really? Is it just a glorified hobby, or are we in fact looking at something that's going to be an industrial model for the country and the world?
Limor Fried: Yes, it is a hobby, but in the same way that ham radio was a hobby — people were just experimenting with packet radio. But that led to Wi-Fi and cell phones. It's a precursor, the same way that people making computers in the '60s and '70s in their garages affects computing now.
Chris Anderson: What does this mean for manufacturing in the US? If the small batch, the prototype, the niche, the flexible all become part of the design industry, which is here in the US, does the mass, the commodity go abroad?
Limor Fried: Yes. It doesn't take much skill to operate a pick-and-place machine or an injection molder. That's why we need to have more of the design and creative and engineering stuff, which does take skill, here in the US. I think the maker movement is incubating that very well, because maker stuff is all about designing and making prototypes. We might make the first 10 in-house, ahead of a 10,000-unit first run. I can do that with a small team of people and then have a factory abroad manufacture the rest. And that's really fantastic. I don't have to buy a factory to make what I want.
Chris Anderson: So how does this DIY revolution change the world?
Limor Fried: Well, first, people are becoming more and more comfortable with the idea of making and hacking their own stuff, even though they don't identify as makers. When we did the Microsoft Kinect hack, where we published how to connect the Kinect sensor to a PC, we thought we'd see maybe one or two people doing really geeky robotic stuff with it. But it turned out that even though roboticists were really interested in it, it was actually artists who were the most excited. This goes beyond electrical engineering and computer science geeks. In five to 10 years, I would be surprised if every public school doesn't have a required class in robotics mechatronics. You'll have a return of wood shop, but it will be metal/robotics/electronics shop, and kids are going to have to learn sensors and technology.
Chris Anderson: OK, that's the production and supply side of the equation. On the demand side, as people increasingly have a choice between the products of traditional manufacturing and those of maker manufacturing, how do you think this will change the face of consumption?
Limor Fried: I think it will affect it in two ways. One is that people do want very specialized technology, and they just couldn't get it. Now they'll be able to get it. When I make stuff, I make it for only one person, myself. And, like, two of my friends. But it turns out that hundreds of thousands of people want the same thing. And I think that's how good design starts. So instead of having to just put up with whatever Sony comes out with, consumers will have more choices made by people who are more like them. And they're not just trying to manufacture as Sony; they're manufacturing as a small company that is trying to fulfill the needs of a small community.
Chris Anderson: At Adafruit, you've done so many things right, from the products themselves, the notion of a personality- and community-led company with weekly video chats and a blog, and the sense of being real people who are joined with their users. Where does this company go? How big do you want to get?
Limor Fried: We've decided to grow organically on purpose, because for us the company isn't just "let's just hire hundreds of people and get a gigantic warehouse and go crazy." For us it's more like a cause. We are trying to create this sort of safe, cool, awesome place for people to learn about electronics and study engineering and explore what I think of as really interesting, creative, and possibly very artistic projects. The company was created to support that. We didn't create the community and open source hardware to make money. It's the other way around. We're a tutorial company. We're a project company. We do video shows and tutorials and teach people, and then there's a gift shop at the end.
Chris Anderson: Right now we're in the fun stage, and the analogy of the Homebrew Computing Club from the 1970s is apt. When the personal computer first came out, people asked, what is it for? And the answer was, it's to program. And why would you do that? The answer was, I don't understand the question — it's because you can. And then eventually somebody invented the videogame, and then they invented the spreadsheet. And every guess about why people would use these things was wrong. If the analogy holds, there will be success stories coming out of this movement — companies that emerge out of the maker movement, industrialize, and become mass, but with a different DNA, the same way that Silicon Valley had DNA that was different from the mainframe world's. What do you think this will be?
Limor Fried: I get asked this in every interview. People always ask what's going to be the spreadsheet. But we do science, and we have no idea what it's for, and then someone else eventually figures something out and says, wow, this is going to be really useful for electricity — maybe it will be like green tech. We have no idea. It's going to be weird and completely surprising, and we're going to be just shocked, and it will be awesome.

The Revue was first performed at the St Magnus Festival Orkney by Eleanor Bron with the composer at the piano in June 1980.This performance inspired Timothy Walker to transcribe Farewell to Stromness for solo Guitar. He performed it two days later in Kirkwall Cathedral as part of the same festival.

Rock Art - A personal expression that became a public art project
In the summer of 2017, I started walking along the earthen dam on the North East side of Las Cruces bordering the University Golf Course. A beautiful peaceful walk with many animals for entertainment, hawks, roadrunners, lizards, rabbits, coyotes butterflies and dragonflies to name a few. I noticed on the walk that on the East side of the path there was a row of small rocks that someone had placed as a border on the path. It grew a little each day as a few more colorful rocks were added to the line. I joined in the fun and added a few more rocks to the line each day. It grew past small bushes then past a clumps of grass. I'd pick a distinct color and watch to see how many new rocks were added. Moving down the line some distance, I started creating rock images inspired by animals and sometimes requests from fellow walkers. Other people have been inspired by the Rock Art too and the word "LOVE" was added then a heart design by my lizard then some crosses. People have written little messages of appreciation in the sand next to the rock designs. I look forward to "exercise" with my dog Bandit and wonder what will inspire the next rock design. Below are some samples showing designs in progress. If you are in Las Cruces, come take a walk and Enjoy the journey, Kathy

Risk factors
As with many cancers, the exact cause of most vaginal cancers is unknown. However, vaginal cancers have been linked to certain risk factors.
A risk factor is anything that increases your chances of getting a disease. Having a risk factor does not mean that you will get cancer, and not having risk factors does not mean that you won't get cancer. If you think you may be at risk of vaginal cancer, you should discuss this with your doctor.
Vaginal cancer is not infectious.
The known risk factors for vaginal cancer are:
- diethylstilbestrol (DES)
- human papillomavirus (HPV) infection
- previous cervical cancer or pre-cervical cancer
- previous radiotherapy to the pelvic area.
HPV infection
The human papillomavirus (HPV) is also a risk factor for vaginal cancer. HPV is a common infection affecting the skin surface of any part of the body, including the vagina and the cervix.
This virus is spread from person to person through genital skin contact. It is so common that it could be considered a normal part of being sexually active.
More than 100 types of HPV have been identified, but about a dozen types are considered high risk because they can lead to cancer.
Around eight out of 10 women will become infected with genital HPV at some time in their lives and, for about 98 per cent of women, it is cleared rapidly by the immune system. However, HPV does not often cause any symptoms, so many people are unaware they have the virus.
HPV can cause precancerous cells that can be detected by a simple test called the Pap test. All women who have ever had sex should have a Pap test every two years from the ages of 18–70 years.
A vaccine against some types of HPV is available.
Cervical cancer or pre-cervical cancer
Women who have had cervical cancer or pre-cervical cancer in the past are more likely to get vaginal cancer.
Radiotherapy to the pelvic area
Women who have had radiotherapy to the pelvic area also have a slightly higher risk of vaginal cancer, but this complication of radiotherapy is very rare, and women who have had this treatment still only have a tiny risk of developing vaginal cancer.

Chelsea target Luis Suarez has dropped a massive hint that he is ready to leave Liverpool this summer.
Suarez has been tracked by a number of clubs, and we revealed earlier in the week that Chelsea were plotting a £50million bid for the striker.
The Uruguay international suggested that he would relish the opportunity to play in Spain , however it is believed that Chelsea are still waiting in the wings to sign the player.
The 26-year-old spoke about his future and said, "It's a good moment for a change of environment because of all I've been through in England, where I haven't been judged as a player but based on other things
He confirmed that he's future isn't in the balance, and even he does not know where he will be playing his football next season: "I do not know when I'm going and I do not know if I'm staying
Suarez suggested that the media is the reason why he is considering a move away from Anfield, which will be dealt as a massive blow to Chelsea.
He said, "In England they talk about many things and in some ways I feel uncomfortable."
Incoming manager Jose Mourinho is in the market for a striker at Chelsea as they are hoping to send Romelu Lukaku out on another season long loan.
The Portuguese manager is reluctant to get Fernando Torres and Demba Ba as his main strikers, and is hoping that he can convince Suarez to stay in the Premier League.
Suarez scored 23 goals in 33 appearances in the Premier League last season, however still has 6 games left on his 10 match ban.
The player was banned at the end of last season following his bite on possible future team mate Branislav Ivanovic.
The Uruguayan has been at the centre of controversy since his move from Ajax, as he has been banned previously for racial comments and is often criticised for diving.
This has not put off Mourinho from signing the player as he is see's Suarez as an ideal signing and will still be hoping that he wants to stay in England.
Chelsea have been linked with a number of strikers, however it was revealed yesterday that Mourinho's first job to do at Chelsea is to sort out the future of captain John Terry.
Terry has one year left on his contract, and "The Special One" has been set the task of tying down the defender on a long-term deal.
The former England captain fell down the pecking order whilst Rafa Benitez was in charge, as he preferred the partnership of Gary Cahill and David Luiz..
Meanwhile Terry has also suffered a series of injuries over the past year and is rumoured to be interested in move to America to finish his career.
Chelsea have also recently emerged as contenders for Fiorentina striker Stevan Jovetic, but they face tough competition from Arsenal who have been tracking the player since April.

Sweeping story will warm hearts and tingle tastebuds.
The Hundred-Foot Journey
By Richard C. Morais (A&U)
I've never eaten in a Michelin-starred restaurant but I imagine they are places where your every desire is catered for slickly and expertly, and pleasure is guaranteed. Reading The Hundred-Foot Journey by New York author Richard C. Morais is very much the same sort of experience. This is a shameless reader-pleaser of a novel, carefully concocted to warm hearts and tingle tastebuds. It was written in the hope that one day it would become a movie and so it has come to pass (hence this film tie-in edition).
It's the story of a young Indian boy called Hassan Haji who grows up caught between the slums and the rich enclaves of Mumbai, living above the family restaurant. After tragedy strikes, the Haji clan pack up and move to London and from there embark on a journey that ends in a small, picturesque French mountain town where they open an Indian restaurant, to the consternation of some locals.
No one is more outraged than Madame Mallory the snobbish proprietor of the elegant Michelin-starred inn across the road and she proceeds to wage war against the newcomers. However, when she discovers that Hassan is a culinary genius she offers to mentor him so he can reach his full potential. Hence the young man's hundred-foot journey across the street to Madame Mallory's inn and to a bittersweet new life.
Amusing, as smooth as Hollandaise and effortlessly digested, The Hundred-Foot Journey
will satisfy foodies and lovers of sweeping, fabulous stories.
Pete The Bushman
By Peter Salter with Nigel Zega (Random House)
New Zealand has a huge enthusiasm for true-life wilderness stories. It seems we like nothing more than tales of people toughing it out in isolation on the West Coast. Peter Salter has been living his dream life as a bushman in Pukekura for 35 years (he owns the town, population two) and this memoir tells of how he got there. There's lots of hunting, shooting and killing from start to finish. Possums are trapped, deer are taken down, and blood flows. Salter is also staunch in his opposition of 1080, calling it an "obscene poison" that kills many more species than the possums it is aimed at. Plus, he's the plain-speaking type with a dry sense of humour, a love of a good challenge and a healthy disregard for stupid rules.
It's all very good, keen man and perfectly timed with Father's Day only a month away.
by Roddy Doyle (Macmillan)
Gloria and Rayzer overhear their granny and parents mumbling about their beloved Uncle Ben and how the black dog has got him. They decide to find the black dog and fight it by sneaking out on to the streets of Dublin at night and tracking it down. In this delightful fantasy they discover the word "brilliant" has amazing powers. On their quest they are joined by Ernie the friendly vampire as well as all the other children of the city who know how the black dog has been spreading his poison. Will they be able to conquer it and find Dublin's funny bone again?
This book deals with the serious subject of depression in the guise of a very readable and engaging adventure story. The dialogue between the children is utterly believable and very funny. A recommended read for children eight and above.

Amisfield: Food, Wine And Stories From Central Otago
(Random House)
Far more than a cookbook, this is the story of how a piece of rabbit-infested scrubland in Central Otago was transformed into one of our premiere vineyards and restaurants. There is history here, some winemaking details and plenty of recipes, of course, from Amisfield's chef Jay Sherwood. These range from simple bruschetta ideas to complex labours of love.
Some of the ingredients might be tricky for North Islanders to source - like West Coast whitebait and wild rabbit - and many ordinary households won't be equipped to make the charcuterie. But it all makes for great food porn and I did find plenty of must-cooks in the pasta, risotto and soup section as well as some interesting new ideas for preparing vegetables, such as charred cauliflower with soaked sultanas, pine nuts and chilli and a recipe for on-trend cavolo nero that promises to make this worthy green taste wonderful.
Amisfield is a book is for food and wine enthusiasts, rather than novices. It is beautifully designed and photographed and made me want to go and eat at the award-winning Amisfield bistro even more than I did before.
Clothes, Clothes, Clothes. Music, Music, Music. Boys, Boys, Boys.
By Viv Albertine (Faber)
Viv Albertine was the guitarist of iconic 1970s English punk band The Slits. When that band broke up, she disappeared into a marriage in which her creativity wasted away. This is the story of how she got to that point and how she resumed her creative life after 25 years. Along the way are fascinating interactions with Sid Vicious, John Lydon, Mick Jones, Ari Up and many other famous figures of the punk era; unexpected connections with musicians and actors as diverse as Jenny Lee Lindberg and Tom Hiddleston; and the voice of a fine storyteller. My favourite book of the year so far.

Conrad Cooper's Last Stand
by Leonie Agnew (Penguin)
Set in 1978 during the Bastion Point occupation, Conrad Cooper's Last Stand deals with the young lead character's search for identity and his growing political awareness. As a Pakeha, he stands out because he identifies more with Maori culture than his own, believing wholeheartedly in Tane, the God of forests and birds. Conrad's activism leads him to plant a forest in his family's backyard and kidnap all the local cats so they won't catch the forest's birds. Conrad's faith in Tane is often tested as he searches for answers about the world he lives in and his troubled home life with an unpleasant stepfather.
Award-winning New Zealand author Leonie Agnew has also written Super Finn and The Importance of Green.

Nicky's best read
By Nicky Pellegrino
As Hillary Clinton keeps America guessing over whether she will have another tilt at the presidency, Vanity Fair has published a first-person story by 40-year-old Monica Lewinsky, who will be forever known as the young intern who had a fling with Bill Clinton. Lewinsky's essay about life after scandal is thoughtful and powerful. She writes of the depths of her humiliation, her struggle to get someone to employ her and why she believes, in today's connected digital age, it could have been even worse. It's on the magazine's website.

Estate Planning is about more than just writing a Will. Where there is an international element it will require a Private International Law analysis which will involve determining the law applicable to an estate, depending on nationality and residence issues and on the location of assets, and examining the related wealth transfer, and succession rules. It may involve working out how best to look after minor children, or vulnerable adults, reducing estate/inheritance taxes, reducing the complications and costs of probate alongside ensuring the provision of liquidity needed for estate settlement expenses at a minimum cost. Wills, trust and foundations, life insurance can be essential tools for estate planning.
As the world becomes increasingly globalized it is common to have family members residing in different countries around the world. Individuals now frequently choose to work outside their home country to find better employment opportunities. Investors are becoming more knowledgeable, looking for good investment opportunities, regardless of where the asset is located.
People brought up in traditional "common-law" jurisdictions find themselves living or with assets in "civil-law" jurisdictions and vice versa, where they may be unfamiliar with how these different systems operate and affect them during their lifetime and on death. We are used to working across civil law and common law countries and can help you manage the local issues, whether this involves common lifetime events such as marriage, divorce, adoption, or incapacity or whether it involves succession issues such as "forced heirship rules". We help you plan to increase the likelihood that your assets are distributed the way you want in the case of death or incapacity.
This increase in the international mobility of families can make the process of transferring assets to the next generation a more complex process than that faced by earlier generations. Good estate planning is essential to make easier the transmission and respond better to the objectives set.
Estate Planning requires an understanding of a multitude of issues concerning the ownership of your assets during your lifetime, and the various family situations and events that may occur. It needs careful consideration of the wide range of tools available to manage and plan to achieve the estate planning aims and reduce uncertainty. It requires constant review to take account of changing circumstances and changing legislation and jurisprudence across the many countries which may be involved. Modern planning should consider your digital assets and non-traditional assets.
All Estate Planning should start with a review of how assets are currently held and considerable reflection should be given as to your wishes for these assets on the occurrence of certain events during your lifetime and afterwards. In which jurisdiction are they held? In whose name and how are they owned, and what is their legal nature? You should document how they were acquired, and whether held directly or through corporate vehicles, as all these facts may change the way they are dealt with. Thought should be given to diverse subjects such as:
- The estate planning effects of the Marriage Regime – pre-nups and post nups, changing marriage regimes, civil partnerships and same sex-marriages.
- The estate planning consequences of divorce (i.e. to whom do the assets belong in the first place?)
- The estate planning effect of moving your residence, domicile or nationality from one country to another.
- The estate planning effect of moving assets from one jurisdiction to another, or changing their nature by the use of SPVs.
- What happens in the event of incapacity? Lasting powers of attorney.
- Adoption, Guardianship, and the capacity of minors to act.
- The use of wills, for you and your spouse, regularly reviewing and revising wills for changing circumstances.
- The use of lifetime gifts, life interest/usufruct, or the creation of charitable foundations.
- The use of trusts, foundations and other fiduciary structures during your lifetime and afterwards.
- The use of Life Insurance as a planning tool.

text: The EUR/USD pair went back and forth during the day on Wednesday, as we continue to find support somewhere near the 1.1150 handle. We believe that support extends all the way down to the 1.11 level, so this point in time we are only buying this pair on short-term pullbacks. We recognize that volatility should continue going forward though, but at this point time we have to assume the consolidation between the 1.11 level on the bottom and the 1.13 level on the top should continue. We have no interest in placing longer-term trades at this point in time.

Islamabad Women's Chamber of Commerce and Industry calls for a national debate on risks associated with Iran pipeline project
Islamabad, March 08, 2013 (PPI-OT): The Islamabad Women's Chamber of Commerce and Industry (IWCCI) on Friday called for a national debate on risks associated with the Iran pipeline project.
We doubt will and ability of the government to ensure import of natural gas from Iran through a controversial pipeline, said Farida Rashid, President IWCCI.
Government claims to relieve country of energy crisis by importing natural gas from Iran, the quickest and cheapest way to fulfil our energy needs, remained confined to statements over the years, she said.
Speaking to women entrepreneurs, she said that in December 2012, President Zardari unexpectedly cancelled a trip to Iran due to US opposition to the project but now government has been issuing statements of rejecting US pressure days before dissolution of assemblies.
She said that all the statements of politicians claiming to reject US pressure on pipeline from gas surplus Iran are aimed at gaining popularity as country remained ill prepared to face US confrontation.
What took government to become aware of the political and economic risks posed by chronic power and gas shortages after five years of rule, asked Farida Rashid.
Why government did not initiate the project soon after coming to power which would have disallowed energy issue to undermine the country's stability, helped revive economy and saved millions of jobs, she questioned.
Farida Rashid said that US would never allow Iran to increase its presence and influence and boost foreign exchange reserves at a time when west has imposed tighter sanctions on Tehran even if it means crumbling Pakistan's economy, a long-time American ally.
Government should clarify how it would deal with tough US sanctions when country is heading towards a default due to mismanagement and corruption, she said.
We are facing a highly unstable balance of payment situation, forex reserves are at unsatisfactory level and government is unable to pay for imports for over sixty days which necessitates entering into a stand-by agreement with IMF, she added.
President of the IWCCI called upon a national debate on pros and cons of the project at a time Pakistan needs an IMF loan of 9-10 billion dollar loan from the IMF which will be impossible without US nod, she said.
Farida Rashid said that we will never have reliable energy supply from Iran unless US stop looking at the project from a political angle and start considering it imperative for survival of Pakistan.

While "Twilight" screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg is working on the "Breaking Dawn" scripts, she said the one hitch is trying to figure out where to break the book into two parts — but it's a welcome challenge.
"We're still fudging around with that, not quite sure, but there's a natural area in which to break it," she told MTV News about her work on the films, expected to start shooting later this year. "The first half is really about Bella as a human and a newlywed and then pregnant, and the second half is about her as a vampire and a parent, so somewhere in that transition is where the break is."
No matter what ends up happening in the films, Rosenberg is sure she will have plenty of room to do everything she and the fans want for the films. "What's nice about having it be two films is that there's room to breathe," she said. "If it were to be one, it would so much condensing that I'd have to be leaving story lines by the roadside.
"Here, there's a little more room to really expand and explore some of the mythology," she continued. "And we began that in 'Eclipse,' to be able to get into the invention of Riley's backstory and the creation of Riley and some of the other characters. In 'Breaking Dawn,' there's even more room to do that, and I'm having fun with that."
Rosenberg recently said she was unsure if she'd want to show Bella's infamous birth scene onscreen in "Breaking Dawn," explaining: "You know, you can do childbirth without seeing childbirth. ... It doesn't mean it's any less evocative of an experience."

Apple's Beats deal has been confirmed, with the Cupertino firm snapping up the flashy headset maker for $3 billion. In the deal, Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine will get seats on the Apple board, and Beats CEO Ian Rogers will report to Apple's Eddy Cue. The deal will keep Beats operating separately from Apple, which could be big for Android users.
Though Beats has reportedly been struggling to find a foothold in the streaming music realm, this acquisition will undoubtedly spark interest in their service. Though it gives Apple control over both Beats Electronics and Beats Music, it might bode well for Android users over time. Apple typically absorbs acquisitions into their fold, making them part of the company. Beats will operate independently.
The deal will close by the end of September, when Apple's fiscal year ends. From there, Apple says they will work on the future of Beats with Apple. Beats, as a cross platform offering, could give Android users one thing we've been desperately wanting for quite some time.
If Beats gains access to the iTunes music library as a streaming service, it could catapult the service from struggling to stellar. If Apple does the right thing, and keeps the monthly subscription cost low, Beats will almost instantly realize a flood of new subscribers across platforms.
Though offerings like Play Music All Access are fantastic, they still fall well short of iTunes when it comes to music selection. For users across iOS and Android, a Beats subscription service with iTunes access would easily be the best on offer.
Let's hope it happens that way.

It's the list supposedly detailing all the famous guys Lindsay Lohan has ever hooked up with. Now, Lohan says it's the real deal.
Appearing on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live, host Andy Cohen asked Lohan if the list, originally published in In Touch magazine, was really hers. The list names 36 men, including Justin Timberlake, James Franco, The Voice's Adam Levine and the late Heath Ledger. Joaquin Phoenix and Zac Efron are also listed.
Lohan told Cohen, "You know what? I am going to get serious for a minute. And I know we have to do this quickly because I know we don't have a lot of time. That was actually my fifth step in AA at Betty Ford and someone, when I was moving, must have taken a photo of it so that's a really personal thing."
A promo for the finale of Lohan's reality TV show, which will air Sunday night on Oprah's cable channel, also features the controversy over the sex list. "The fact that that happened is not only humiliating, but just mean," Lohan said.
Meanwhile, Lohan is also hitting back at Rosie O'Donnell who recently called Lohan's Oprah show "a tragedy on every level."
Cohen asked Lohan how she felt about O'Donnell's remark. "It just seems like she's bored. I don't understand whenever actresses talk nasty about other actresses. I find that to be really sad," Lohan responded.

Issue date: 11 June 2014
On Wednesday 11 June and Thursday 12 June 2014 medieval men and women will descend on Chepstow Castle to engage school pupils and the general public in activities, tasks and learning opportunities inspired by life in the castle in the 11th century.
School pupils from across the South West will be able to take part in activities such as; making medieval pendants and bracelets, felt rolling for medieval crafting, (supervised) trebuchet firing on the target range and historical gaming at the medieval games table. Pupils will also be able to interact with a host of historical characters, ranging from the humble peasant to Lord FitzOsbern, who will give valuable insight into life in, and the history of, the castle.
Over the last ten years, the Department of Education at UWE Bristol has been the initial base for the groups of trainee teachers preparing to take part in the educational activity. The trainees are divided into activity and subject groups and given the chance to interact with each other ahead of the event itself. Across the two days, 70 postgraduate secondary trainee teachers and their tutors will create a rich themed medieval activity, working with partner schools.
Dr Dean Smart, Senior Lecturer Senior Lecturer in History and Citizenship Education, says,
"All of the UWE 'team' spend the two days in an approximation of period costume, with some demonstrating medieval arts and crafts and helping the visiting school children complete simple activities outside of the castle. Eight other trainees are placed at set locations within the castle and act in role as named historical characters so that small accompanied groups can ask them questions about the castle and can learn about medieval life. It is one of the most photogenic events UWE runs!"

Age of Artists presented last week at this year's Knowtech, a conference about knowledge management, social collaboration and industry 4.0 for German-speaking audiences. The host BITKOM, the industry association for the digital sector in Germany offered a diverse and very interesting selection of keynotes, lectures and workshops. The motto "Smart and Social – knowledge activation in the digital age" was constantly present and people discussed all the great opportunities technology innovation provides while wondering what this will mean for people and their work. Our contribution with the title "Social Media everywhere but no Cooperation – how to unlock true Collaboration" was very well received and we are happy about the positive feedback & looking forward to further engaging with great people we met during the event. The presentation can be accessed here (only in German)

Raging Bull and Do the Right Thing closely follow Ferris Bueller's Day Off and Pee Wee's Big Adventure?
And yes, I know that technically Star Wars shouldn't be up there, but I have to include it for personal reasons, rather than critical.

Even when the films were cheesy back then they had a certain earnestness to them. Part of the charm was also how these films didn't have the means to fully articulate the imagination behind them, and in some ways end up being superior because of it.

Now I'm at the point of uploading the image file, and guess what? I'm also getting a blank page back! But I am getting an error message:

This is on the imagecreatejpeg() function. And that's just for a 2M file! I'm guessing there must be an error with the GD library in this instance of PHP.
I've got PHP version 5.2.1, and GD version 2.0.28. All this is running on Win2K.
Thanks for your help, and BTW, it's good to see Izzy's back.

Alphabol is an anabolic steroid used internally. Initially, Alphabol was used to accelerate the regeneration and healing of burns, to increase the vitality of women, and soon became quite widespread in bodybuilding as a substance for the growth of muscle mass, until that time, until it was banned. At the moment there is a lot of information that undesirably discredits Alphabol. Critics exaggerate the influence of toxic characteristics and too understate anabolic activity. And yet, as practice shows Methandienone oral (Dianabol), the course Alphabol, which will last for 5-6 weeks at an average dosage of 30 mg per day, will help you increase muscle mass by about 8-10 kg, followed by a loss of 2-5 kg (the so-called Phenomenon of pullback). Rollbacks can be reduced in the case of a correct course.
How to use Alphabol Alpha Pharma
The optimal dosage is from 20 to 60 mg per day for 7 to 8 weeks. Naturally, those who take Alfabol for the first time, it is advisable to use no more than 30-40 mg per day. Try to use Alfabol every 3-5 hours for which the half-life of the substance in the blood occurs. Alfabol should be eaten after meals. You can combine Alfabol with another anabolic steroid, such as Sustanon or Nandrolone.
Alpha – pharma Alphabol Methandienone
Side effects
In most cases, the side effects of Methane are too exaggerated, and the evidence is that there are no cases of any health problems in many athletes.

OISRA Organizational Structure
OISRA Board
We are a not-for-profit, board-governed corporation comprised of its member coaches.
See Board Members for the current board roster.
See Board Business for approved meeting minutes.
See Bylaws and Policies for current Bylaws and Policies.
We are structured such that the OISRA Board provides oversight for two separate Divisions within OISRA: the Alpine Division and the Nordic Division.
Alpine and Nordic Divisions
A coach becomes a member of either the Alpine or the Nordic Division, depending on the type of skiing their students enjoy. Each Division has a Steering Committee that provides guidance for all OISRA activities in that Division.
Alpine and Nordic Leagues
The teams in each Division are grouped into geographic Leagues that separately host events that are qualifying events for the state championships. The Head Coaches for each team in the League direct all the League activities.
Role of Head Coaches for Governing OISRA
The Designated Head Coaches are the voting members. They vote for the OISRA Board members and vote on any proposals properly presented to them by the Board. They also select Division Steering Committee members. [ See the Organizational Chart. ]
OISRA Guiding Principles
- Stay current with national and international skiing competition practices
- Stress team participation, while including individual recognition
- Stress fun and adventure, within the boundaries of safety and fairness
- Have flexibilty for participation that builds inclusiveness
