In 1970, Ambassador Alfonso T. Yuchengco set-up the Bayanihan Foundation, Inc, the forerunner of the AY Foundation, Inc. to administer an educational fund for the children of Grepalife employees and sales associates. The educational fund, at first, only provided scholarship grants to deserving children of employees. But the foundation''s investment in education later expanded to include financially needy but deserving youth from the "general public". Specifically, the two priority beneficiary groups are the cultural minorities and center-based street children.
Program Obective
The AYF Scholarship Program aims to provide financial assistance to deserving Filipino youth belonging to low-income families (with combined parents'' income not exceeding Php 320,000.00 annually) in order for them to pursue their studies up to college, provided certain criteria are met. The grants maybe availed of at any grade/year level (i.e. grade school, high school, and college).
Program Beneficiaries
The beneficiaries under the AYF Scholarship Program are cultural minorities (e.g Muslims, Tagbanuas, Ifugaos, Mangyans, etc.) who are referred to AYF and are qualified for scholarship assistance under its guidelines. Another priority sector is street children under the care of child welfare institutions/NGOs. Referrals are made to the AYF who screen the street children's readiness and qualifications to go to school.

Trócaire Hosts the Face of Resistance Exhibition
This Thursday October 10th, Powerscourt Centre are delighted to host The Face of Resistance exhibition. The exhibition will run for the month of October. The Face of Resistance is a photographic exhibition being held by Trócaire which focuses on celebrating the courage and determination of those both overseas and in Ireland, who have acted in support of a safer and cleaner world.
The exhibition is part of Trócaire's Making a Killing campaign which is calling for an international treaty on Business and Human Rights to help protect communities from abuse. Across the world, both women and men are challenging the activities of big business. These activities often destroy lives, damage the environment and violate human rights.
Creating a cleaner environment, improving lives and ensuring equal human rights for all are themes that will be seen across the exhibition. The Centre is proud to host such an inspiring and impactful exhibition.
This event is free of charge and will be open to the public.
For more information and to take action on this campaign, visit: trocaire.org/business-and-human-rights

The Most Famous Igorots
Igorots are literally people from the mountain. They live in the heart of the Cordillera ranges, covered with great pine trees and blessed with rich culture. However with the stereotyping incidents started and fuelled by lowlanders, some younger Igorot generations try wearing make up to cover up their identities.
Igorots were once regarded as non-Filipinos. It was believed that these highlanders had tails like monkeys, so they do not deserve to be treated as Filipinos. Only people from the lowlands believed in what a now fully-recognized hero had said.
The first international exposure of proud Igorots was during the St. Louis Exposition in 1904. Some historians remember Igorots being presented as animals from the Philippines and dog-eating natives of the Asian country.
GMA 7 actor Marky Cielo remains to be the most popular Igorot nowadays. When he joined the popular talent show Starstruck in 2006, he represented Mountain Province which is her mother's hometown. Cielo is half-Igorot, half-Bisaya. Her mother Mildred Cadaweng-Cielo hails from Bauko, Mountain Province.
Cielo died in 2008 and he is remembered as the first Igorot in show business. He appeared in many TV shows, including Codename: Asero and Joaquin Bordado. However, the show business had dozens and dozens of secrets to reveal about the true identities of some people on TV screens.
Now, many Igorots are coming out of their shells and trying to make a breakthrough. Paulo Avelino, who is also a product of Starstruck, is making a good name in ABS-CBN as an actor. He has an Igorot blood, but he is not vocal about it.
Some believe that being a native in media is a tragedy, taunting some other Igorots on TV like Gwen Garci and Alma Moreno to hide their Igorot roots.
Full-blooded singer Ingrid Payaket was the second to steal the attention of the world with her "Igorot" remarks. During her audition in the Got Talent version of the Philippines, she admitted "Igorot po ako". She ended third in the show's finale. The singer received less publicity because she sings more Broadway hits than pop junks. However, Payaket is well-received by everyone due to her excellence in singing and humility in dealing with people.
Kenny Padalla, who is a half-Ibaloi-half-i-Mountain Province, rose to fame when he became a finalist of Got Talent. He is a boy-next-door guy who was accused of faking his identity as an Igorot. Some people did not believe that Igorots can be that talented so they express their ignorance at the expense of this fair-skinned lad's woes. Padalla was not able to win in the contest but his exposure was able to bring more publicity about the truth on Igorot features.
Many people from Cordillera are trying their best to enter show business, and be listed as one of the most popular Igorots. The presence of these people in popular media elevates the profile of highlanders. It also helps in proving that Igorots have no tails and deserve to get what other Filipinos can bring home.

Two years after the launch of the world famous Manometro, Giuliano Mazzuoli introduces their first chronograph. The quest for pure and exquisite design has resulted in a very clear dial to read and easy chronograph functions to operate. The counters are off centre, having been moved anticlockwise around the inner bezel, whereas the pushers are fitted on the left of the robust steel case. The reset button at 8 and the start-stop at 10 are neatly positioned low into the case and personalised with the engraved Giuliano Mazzuoli logo... more

A watch, or brand, that gets snapped up by the rich and famous, driven by the irrational appeal that sets fashions and trends. This watch, which is almost impossible to obtain other than by word of mouth, meets all these criteria. We couldnt pass up the opportunity to let you know more about our passion.

Sex that compares to supernovas, solar systems, quarks and atomic nuclei? Oh my.
Such is the (possibly over-)heated prose of UMBC professor Manil Suri, whose literary description of the sexual act in his novel "The City of Devi" was so overwhelming in its cosmic significance that he's been awarded the coveted Bad Sex In Fiction award by Britain's Literary Review.
Here's a sample of Suri's work, tame enough to be published in an all-audiences forum:
"Surely supernovas explode that instant, somewhere, in some galaxy. The hut vanishes, and with it the sea and the sands – only Karun's body, locked with mine, remains. We streak like superheroes past suns and solar systems, we dive through shoals of quarks and atomic nuclei. In celebration of our breakthrough fourth star, statisticians the world over rejoice."
Oh. My.
Suri, a professor of mathematics at UMBC, seems to be taking the award -- given to "draw attention to the crude, tasteless, often perfunctory use of redundant passages of sexual description in the modern novel, and to discourage it" -- in stride. He told Ron Charles of the Washington Post, "I suppose one can never predict what buttons one might press when one writes about sex. But I feel a real sense of exhilaration at this award — it's great that readers will now have the chance to decide for themselves."
He also objected mildly that the passage was taken out of context, suggesting that describing sex with such inter-stellar imagery made perfect sense in the world of his novel. But then he caught himself, admitting, "But I'm getting too professorial, a ghastly trait, especially in the bubbly context of this award."
(For the full story from the Post's The Style Blog, click here.)
Of course, any embarrassment Suri might have felt was probably alleviated somewhat by the company he keeps. Previous winners of the award include Tom Wolfe, John Updike and Norman Mailer.

Google Adds 3D Buildings To Map Of London
Visitors to London can now navigate the streets in 3D, thanks to a Google Maps for Android upgrade
The Google Maps application for Android has been updated to add 3D images of buildings in major cities including London, Paris and Barcelona. The desktop version of Google Maps now also includes 3D buildings powered by vector graphics.
Google rolled out Maps 5.0 for Android in December 2010, but at the time the 3D images feature was limited to a handful of locations, such as New York City, Zurich and Milan. However, Google has since been adding more cities, and 3D buildings are now available in London, Paris, Barcelona, Stockholm, Singapore, Lisbon, Boulder, and 11 major cities in South Africa.
"Whether you're on the go or playing with a new phone, seeing a 3D skyline is a helpful, fun, and unique experience," said Google software engineer Brian Brewington in a 19 July blog post.
Vector graphics
Google's 3D maps use vector graphics to "dynamically" draw the map on an Android device, allowing the user to tilt, rotate and zoom in on the images. Buildings appear as ghostly outlines between the streets, allowing users to pick out landmarks for navigation.
Dragging down with two fingers tilts the map, twisting with two fingers rotates the map, and sliding two fingers together or apart zooms the map in and out. Users can also tap the compass button in the top right corner to flip into 3D mode and start rotating to match their perspective.
Google previously downloaded the maps as sets of individual 256×256 pixel "image tiles," each with their own section of map imagery, roads, labels and other features baked in. However, the new application uses vector tiles, giving Maps the flexibility to re-draw the same map from different perspectives using the same set of data.
"If you magnify an map image tile by 2x, lines such as roads and text would get twice as wide and appear blurry. As a result, we had to constrain Maps to 20 fixed "zoom levels," each one twice as close as the last," explained Google Maps software engineer Andrew Miller back in December. "Every time you zoomed in further, you'd need to download a completely new set of image tiles.
"With vector graphics, you no longer need to 'round' to the nearest zoom level and then download all the tiles for that level. One vector tile has the underlying vector data (or blueprints) to draw the map at many different levels of scale."
Miller explained that the 3D map interactions work the same way as zoom, using the same vector data to draw the map from any angle or direction as you tilt or rotate.
No update required
No official announcement has been made about 3D buildings on the desktop version of Google Maps, but a quick search of London landmarks reveals that many parts of the city have already been mapped in 3D – including the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey and Shard London Bridge.
The Shard will be the tallest building in the European Union, but is still being built. It looks as if the 3D version in Google Maps is based on Google Maps' satellite image from an early stage of construction, and has converted some of the building site's cranes into vertical slabs.
Battersea power station and St Paul's Cathedral are yet to emerge, but Westminster Abbey has a fine array of flying buttresses.
Android users wanting to check out the new buildings do not need to update the application, but will need a phone running Android 2.0 or newer, which supports 3D buildings.
True 3D views, of course are provided in Google Street View, which the search giant expanded last year to cover "almost all" of the roads in the UK. This lets British users of the virtual mapping service view 360 degree images of 238,000 miles of public road and thoroughfares, from Cornwall to the Shetlands.

Justice reinvestment – an answer to incarceration rates?
Posted on: Wed 29 Nov 2017
Justice reinvestment is a different approach to dealing with crime and with the people who might get caught up in the justice system.

SUNNYVALE, CA. and YOKNEAM, ISRAEL – April 12, 2010 – Mellanox® Technologies, Ltd. (NASDAQ: MLNX; TASE: MLNX), a leading supplier of high-performance, end-to-end connectivity solutions for data center servers and storage systems, today announced the availability of its complete family of 40Gb/s InfiniBand cable solutions that complements its portfolio of InfiniBand adapter cards and switch systems. The cable product line provides cost effective connectivity with signal integrity and bit error rates (BER) that exceed industry standards, ensuring trouble-free cluster installation, bring-up and performance over the life of the network.
"Mellanox 40Gb/s cables enable a world-class out-of-the-box experience with our InfiniBand adapter cards and switch systems," said Shai Rephaeli, vice president of interconnect products at Mellanox. "Mellanox's 40Gb/s InfiniBand products deliver the highest throughput, lowest latency and highest message rate available to high performance computing, enterprise and cloud data center environments ensuring significant productivity benefits for enterprise and scientific computing users. Mellanox cables, with superior features, performance and reliability, eliminate bit errors that cause data corruption and the resulting application performance degradation."
Mellanox 40Gb/s cables exceed the IBTA 1.2.1 and SFF-8436 QSFP connector standards and are 100 percent tested to strict quality requirements. Cables are available in a variety of options to suit the different power, length, and flexibility needs of the data center. Passive copper cables are available in lengths from half-meter to eight meters. These cables are preferred by IT managers for top-of-rack switch connections or small server cluster installations due to their low cost and use of no additional power. Low power active copper cables are available from eight meters up to 12 meters. These cables, using less than 500mW per end, extend the distance between servers and switches to build data centers consisting of thousands of servers. The eight meter active cable is slimmer and lighter than the passive version reducing the weight that the cable management needs to support. Assembled optical cables with the industry's lowest power of less than one Watt per end are available up to 300 meters providing very lightweight and flexible connectivity between servers and switches and extends the reach to across the room or between floors.
About Mellanox

Management Training For The Next Generation
Having strong leaders throughout every level of your organization is essential to support growth. Many organizations promote from within and bring high performing employees from their original positions into leadership roles where their ability to be successful is often lacking for one key reason: they were trained to produce, but not trained to lead. The Portocol Management Training Program is designed specifically to help bridge this gap. Our curriculum teaches front-line managers and supervisors essential management skills that make them effective in their position, as well as the leadership attributes that empower them to grow beyond simply being a successful manager.
Why Management Training?
Effective front-line managers are key to cultivating a growth-oriented culture within your organization. By equipping your first-level managers with the tools they need to instill your company values and goals in each and every team member, you can create a sustainable atmosphere of intrinsic motivation that is independent of direct involvement from business owners. A strong, proven management training program helps your front-line managers build strong teams and scalability by encouraging leadership development and establishing business systems that support the end goals of your organization.
The Portocol Approach
At Portocol, we have spent the last few decades perfecting our approach to management training in order to ensure a program that promotes strategic growth. Successful application of our management training program stems from alignment between course curriculum and organizational goals. This alignment is what differentiates us from our competitors and we achieve it by facilitating a peer-group environment that is supported by one-on-one coaching. Our two-pronged model ensures comprehension of our programming at an individual level. It also creates an environment that supports development of the skills needed to identify, assume accountability for, monitor, and achieve specific company goals.
The Management Training Program Model
Management training takes place in a focused, peer group setting where new program participants will join current, highly successful clients in an environment dedicated to learning and practical application. Participants will learn effective coaching and mentoring skills, develop efficient problem solving and conflict resolution skills, gain the ability to strategically forecast, budget, and plan for success, and much more through this program.
Our management training is a 12-month program designed specifically for front line managers and supervisors. The program is broken up into six unique training modules.
- Customer Service – We teach a pragmatic approach to creating a customer-oriented culture. This course module helps front-line mangers develop skills needed to facilitate high-quality consumer and employee relationships that promote loyal customers.
- Internal Employee Development – Managers learn how to effectively train and coach employees. Our training systems are designed to facilitate an environment where collaboration and accountability are at the forefront in all departments. This encourages a high-performance culture in a business geared toward long-term success.
- External Employee Development – In phase three of the management training program, participants learn how to identify candidates that align with the company values, while building the skill set necessary to recruit and hire the organization's top choices.
- Finance – At the end of the day, the focus is on the bottom line. Phase four teaches front-line managers how to manage their team based on key performance indicators to increase productivity and uncover resolve inefficiencies which, ultimately, will increase profits.
- Leadership Culture – Most leaders would agree, communication is a key element for success. More often than not, managers are unsuccessful because they lack they fail to communicate effectively with their people.. Our management training program teaches managers how to facilitate structured communication that creates a high performance culture in the business.
- Leadership Success – The final module of our management training program teaches managers and supervisors how to inspire and motivate their people to achieve new levels of performance and success.
All of these lessons are supported by one-on-one coaching that is designed to reinforce course curriculum and facilitate effective implementation. These monthly, management training and individual coaching sessions with Portocol experts ensure that course participants are not only successfully putting their knowledge in place but also measuring performance in alignment with their company's short and long term goals.
Management Training Backed By The Portocol Promise
Portocol strives to serve our clients at every level of management. From front-line supervisors to CEOs, we have the resources to help your business systematically grow in value with less risk and more confidence. With Portocol's management training program, you can trust that every facet of your organization is equipped with the skill set necessary to make your business efforts successful.
Registration for our management training program is ongoing – you can join at any time of the year. Sessions are held twice per month on the second and fourth Wednesday from 3pm to 5pm in the Portocol Training Room. Workbooks will be provided. One-on-one training is included and is scheduled individually by each participant.

Evaluation shows Georgia Vision Project recommendations success
- On August 23, 2016
Third party review reinforces education plan
Media Contact: Justin Pauly, Director of Communications, GSBA, 770-962-6843, firstname.lastname@example.com
August 23, 2016– The Georgia Vision Project is pleased to announce that a third party evaluation by the Georgia State University's College of Education and Human Development showed that effective implementation of the recommendations positively impacts schools and school districts.
Graduate level research students at Georgia State University under the direction of Dr. Jami Berry, Clinical Associate Professor, Educational Leadership Program Coordinator in Educational Policy Studies, evaluated the 45 recommendations through the 7 Vision Project components using 3 research questions and 7 guiding questions.
The Georgia Vision Project recommendations are research based standards developed in 2009 and updated in 2013 by educational experts and research institutions from around the state to implement a plan for public education.
"I am thrilled to have these recommendations evaluated on their effectiveness and appreciate all the input these graduate students contributed," said Dr. Stan DeJarnett, Executive Director of the Georgia Vision Project. "Not only do we now have an independent review of the recommendations we have a solid evidence that these are indeed effective standards and practices for school districts to implement."
To review the full summary, click here.
According to the summary on page 6, "The results of these studies provide practical information about leadership practices related to teacher evaluation, establishing and maintaining a healthy school climate and culture, teacher retention, parental engagement, meeting the needs of diverse learners, and even specific practices that impact the teaching of mathematics."
About the Georgia Vision Project
The Georgia Vision Project's two main goals are to maximize student success in every school and elevate the level of trust and support for public education in every community. By setting world-class educational standards, establishing viable directives, creating a sustainable framework and organizing contemporary networks at the local, county and regional levels, the Georgia Vision Project endeavors to prepare every student for college career and life.

If you are following my lists of knitting activities this week, we have the Smiley's Sale in Hamilton today and Emily's Hats for Hope at Trillium (formerly Angelfire Studio) in its new location on Mt. Kemble Ave. (Route 202) in Harding. So to get ready, I dug out some yarn to donate to Emily's Hats for Hope (and to make room for any yarn I might get at the Smiley's Sale) and also selected enough yarn to make as couple of hats for Emily's drive to make hats for the tent city in Lakewood. I even started the first hat, so I'll have something to knit while I'm standing online at the Smiley's sale.
Our sister paper, the Daily Record, has a story about Emily's Hats for Hope today. Check it out. The hat-a-thon lasts til about 6 tonight, so if you can stop by, please do.

Scientists have believed for years that human NK cells are generated in bone marrow, but Michael Caligiuri, director of the OSU Comprehensive Cancer Center and the senior author of the study, says research in his laboratory shows that the precursors to NK cells are actually found in cellular nurseries deep inside the body's lymph nodes.
The findings, appearing in the Mar. 22 issue of the journal Immunity, may offer clinicians new direction in determining how to manipulate this cell type in enhancing immune responses to cancer.
"This study is fundamentally about understanding the immune system more fully so we can help patients," says Caligiuri.
A major arm of the body's defense system is made up of lymphocytes, cells that fall broadly into three categories T cells, B cells and NK cells.
Although all lymphocytes stem from a common source progenitor cells in the bone marrow they take different paths in developing into full-fighters in the immune system. For example, cells destined to become T cells, sophisticated and highly focused killer cells, are released into the bloodstream and migrate to the thymus where they learn their role. In contrast, B cells, which make antibodies, remain and mature in the bone marrow. Until now, scientists thought NK cells did the same.
But Caligiuri, working with Aharon Freud, the lead author of the study and a doctoral candidate in Caligiuri's laboratory, had noted other work showing that mice lacking lymph nodes also lacked NK cells. In addition, in earlier research in Caligiuri's laboratory, scientists had identified two distinct subsets of human NK cells (referred to as CD56 bright and CD56 d

Real Property and Personal Property - Real Estate
Finding a tax lien property for sale is pretty easy. Finding a property that is worth buying, especially in today's economic climate, is a bit more tricky. My goal with this brief article is to show you 3 different ways to find pending tax lien sales worth buying... and how to find them for free.
But first, the basics...
What are tax lien sales?
A tax lien sale is when a government agency auctions off any tax liens against a property to recoup any delinquent taxes against the property. These sales are usually conducted by the tax collectors office or the sheriff's office.
It is important to note that there are two different ways for the government to collect delinquent taxes. One would be this type of sale (tax lien sales), and the other is known as a tax deed sale.
In a tax lien sale, the investor is buying the lien itself. The winning bidder will receive a certificate at the end of the auction that entitles the investor to collect payments for the delinquent taxes, often at a high interest rate. This certificate also allows the investor to foreclose on the property after a specified redemption period if the taxes remain unpaid.
3. Local Newspaper
As part of the sale process, the county must give "public notice" of all upcoming tax sales. These are always either before or after the classifieds. Go through this section religiously... it is your new golden goose. Make note of the properties that look interesting, and do your due diligence from there.
4. Subscription based list services
This is the only strategy that will cost you some money... which is why I didn't mention it earlier. Consider it a bonus.
Honestly, these types of services are a dime a dozen. Some are better than others. The biggest benefit is the speed that you get access to the information. Always look for ones that update often; generally speaking, locally based websites are better than national ones. If you do a basic search on Google you'll get a list of plenty to choose from.
Luxury Real Estate Canada in River Club
In the past couple of years the property sector has boomed and has become one of the most lucrative field and rapidly growing markets. A huge number of manufacturers, producers, consultancy companies, finance companies and international funds have got increasingly involved into the field of property, either through joint ventures or independently buying and developing different kinds of properties. There are a number of ways in which you can look for buying a property. These include via estate agents, looking in local newspapers with pages dedicated to the property sector, directly contacting house building companies and surfing on the internet.
A very important part of purchasing a house is documentation. An exhaustive and indicative checklist of documents needs to be verified before acquiring a house. These documents are also required by banks before they sanction a home loan. Another important point of concern is to find whether the property is under any disputed land, or in case of a house whether the property is into any kind of family dispute. If you are buying the property directly from a builder you need to look at the proven record and reputation of the developer.
Listing Your House For Sale By Owner
Looking for back taxes houses for sale? The best place to buy them, believe it or not, isn't before the auction, or at the auction - it's after the property has already been sold. Here's how to buy back taxes houses for sale for $200, without ever attending the auction or bidding on property.
First, why not attend auction? Isn't it easier? Back taxes houses for sale will never sell for far below retail value at tax sale. There is too much competition for that to happen; and besides, you can't inspect the property before you bid on it, you have to pay cash at the auction, and most of the time the owners pay off the taxes anyway.
This way, you can pick up a lot of deeds for only $200 or so each, and then decide what you want to do with them. You can almost always flip immediately to another investor if you'll price low enough. You can pay the taxes yourself, and keep the property. Or if it turns out to be a bad deal, then you just let the property go to tax sale and forget about it - and you're only out $200.
This is by far the least risky and most profitable way for individual investors to make six figures in the real estate industry - and with the current foreclosure situation there's a lot out there to buy.

Open since the 1960's, the Mealani Research Station is part of the University of Hawai'i at Manoa College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources (CTAHR). It's located in Waimea, Hawai'i Island and investigates and demonstrates products for island farmers and ranchers to use. It's where Mealani's Taste of the Hawaiian Range began in 1996.
Current Research Projects:
- Healthy food system products: tea; blueberries; grass-fed beef
- Forage and pasture grasses for grass-finished livestock
- Disease tolerance and resistance evaluation of protea, sweet and grain corn
- Alternative crops: peaches, persimmon, surinam and bing-type cherries
- Field education of culinary students
- Artificial insemination/cow breeding with UH Animal Science or Pre-Veterinary students
Overview of Projects
Grass-Fed Beef—Started 1995. Evaluate on-site herd to analyze genetics of various breeds of cattle for selective breeding through artificial insemination, utilize utlrasound to examine animals for desired meat cut characteristics (rib-eye), utilize low-stress animal handling techniques, work with meat processors to refine processing and tenderizing techniques. Goal: to produce quality grade, forage-finished beef to market within 18 to 24 months that is raised entirely on grass. Develop grass-fed beef as a niche, high-value product that's free from hormones and antibiotics for the discriminating consumer.
Started 2011. Mealani provides Animal Science and Pre-Veterinary students attending UH Manoa and UH-Hilo hands-on experience in the breeding of the cow herd. Under the instruction of Dr. Ashley Stokes, the sessions cover beef cattle reproduction, genetics, semen handling and performing artificial insemination.
Pasture Rotation—Started 2005. Evaluation trials of intensive grazing techniques using approximately 250 head of cattle to best utilize nutritive values of forage while sustaining paddocks. Research involves daily rotation of separate groups of steers (market animals), heifers (young females) and cow/calves among paddocks so each group of animal is always digesting the same part of the grass stalk. Steers consume the top of the grass, which has the highest protein content, followed by heifers who eat the middle of the stalk and cow/calves, which eat the bottom and get the most fiber. Goal: To utilize forage effectively and to demonstrate the production of healthy, vigorous grass-finished beef on less acreage for efficient land utilization.
Forage Systems—Started 1987. Mealani has one of the Pacific basin's largest collections of tropical forage grasses in investigation and demonstration gardens. They include pangola and kikuyu grasses and legume covers. Legumes, such as the perennial peanut and leucaena, fix nitrogen in the soil and help other forages grow. Mealani is experimenting with a new variety of grass in its forage garden—Stylo. Planted in March 2012, it's a nitrogen-fixing forage that animals can graze. Mealani ag technician Marla Fergerstrom says it is drought-tolerant, can thrive in poor soil types and has been used as animal feed that has been "cut and fed." Goal: To make different efficient tropical forages available for ranchers to plant in their pastures.
Bio-Control Moth Production—Started 2013. Mealani is cage-rearing Secusio extensa (Arctiidae) for fireweed suppression and control in pastures. In the 18 months since the inception of this effort, Mealani has distributed over 2,000 caterpillar larvae.Fireweed is an invasive plant toxic to cattle and horses. In partnership with the Hawai'i Dept. of Agriculture (HDOA), Mealani raises the moth lavae until they are a half-inch or more in length for distribution to ranchers. The lavae voraciously consume the leaves, buds and bark specifically of fireweed plants, which is estimated to have taken over more than 850,000 acres of pastureland, mainly on Hawai'i Island and Maui. The statewide Hawai'i Cattlemen's Council has agreed that bio-control is the only feasible, long-term option for control of fireweed. The Council funded the first exploratory trips by HDOA entomologists to southern Africa and Madagascar to search for an insect or disease that could safely control fireweed. The state approved release of the moth in 2010, with federal approval finalized in 2012. While this bio-control doesn't eliminate fireweed, Fergerstrom says it makes the plant weak. After six months of production, Mealani has released thousands of lavae to ranchers. Distribution of the insect is done by UH's Kamuela Cooperative Extension Office, 887-6183, or contact Mealani for more info, 887-6185.
Tea—Started 1999. Evaluation trials of one acre of tea containing 10 cultivars, plus 320 different seedlings for possible cultivar development. Research includes ag production techniques, harvest yield studies, quality control and product processing to remove plant bitterness and astringencies. Mealani provides local tea society growers with cuttings, educational workshops and tours of station planting. In 2013, CTAHR started offering Tea 101 workshops at Mealani to teach the steps of growing and hand-processing Hawaii-grown tea. Tea propagation workshops were added in 2014. Led by CTAHR Extension Economist Stuart Nakamoto and UH extension agent Randy Hamasaki, classes are geared to existing tea growers and those interested in growing and producing tea as a business. Future sessions are planned for homeowners, hobbyists and tea enthusiasts. For info, 887-6183. Goal: to develop unique Hawai'i-grown teas.
Alternative Crops—Started in 2009. Mealani planted a small arboretum of fruit trees to test varieties requiring a "lesser chill" than the temperate-zoned U.S. Mainland. Different types of peach, Surinam and bing-type cherries, plus persimmon are under observation. Goal: To develop alternative fruit crops.
- Cultivation efforts for tropical peaches were stepped up in 2014 with trials on four varieties: Tropic Snow, Tropic Sweet, Tropic Beauty and Tropic Prime. Trials are in progress at Mealani and other locations via cooperative volunteers. Mealani offered workshops on tree care that included pruning for better fruit set and techniques for achieving larger fruit size production. Goal: to get a marketable peach grown in Hawai'i
Blueberries—Started 2005. Evaluation trials in and out of hot house of 34 warm-clime varieties that don't require a high chill. Research includes ag production, acclimatization to environment, resistances to disease (rust), pruning methods and timing for production in high-value market windows. Goal: to develop blueberries as an alternative crop for farmers.
Field Education of Culinary Students—Initiated in 2010. Mealani invites college and high school culinary students and instructors to learn about its research products—especially grass-fed beef. At field station visits, future chefs meet the individuals involved in raising the cattle and view production practices. The visits encourage interaction and foster understanding between future chefs and food producers. The vision of this program has several goals:
- To educate chefs about what effort goes into the product and its benefits, so they use it.
- To provide chefs with the opportunity to communicate with food producers so they better understand production challenges.
- To provide food producers with the opportunity to communicate with those who use their product so they comprehend culinary expectations. It's found that producers can do a better job if they have a relationship with the buyer.
- Expand program so future chefs visit private ranches, food producers and food handlers.

Hitting the Cyber Skills Shortage Head On
Understanding the Cyber Skills Shortage
The low availability of professionals with specialized cyber skills is one of the biggest issues facing organizations looking to defend their core business systems against cyberattacks. A recent report from Information Systems Audit and Control Association (ISACA), titled "The Growing Cybersecurity Skills Crisis," estimated that there are as many as 1 million unfilled security jobs worldwide, as shown below.
Figure 1: Cybersecurity Skills Shortage (Source: Business Wire)
This study, conducted late last year, revealed that 1 in 5 IT security professionals claimed their enterprise has been the target of an advanced persistent threat (APT). Despite this, some 62 percent of organizations have not increased their security training. That leads to a sizable and growing gap between formal education and real-world needs. This cyber skills shortage requires immediate attention so the industry can get better at understanding, detecting and mitigating cyberthreats and cybercrime.
IBM and the University of Warwick Join Forces to Deliver Cybersecurity Skills of the Future
IBM and WMG Cyber Security Centre team addressed this head on by building a business-focused, weeklong postgraduate module in enterprise cybersecurity aimed at boosting the cyber skills of the students. The pilot module was delivered in June as part of the University of Warwick MSc in cybersecurity and management. This builds upon a long-term arrangement where IBM professionals deliver guest lectures at the university, allowing industry experts to work hand-in-hand with academia to enrich the student's learning experience.
A unifying theme of IBM's Smarter Cities initiative was used to ensure business relevance and continuity through the week, and a number of specialist topics were developed and delivered by IBM practitioners working in the cybersecurity field. The topics included:
Figure 2: Sample Topics
The topics were delivered in a variety of formats, ranging from traditional lectures through hands-on workshops on ethical hacking to an interactive game to address securing systems of engagement. The game involved splitting the students into two teams. One team focused on the design of cyber defense mechanisms for a cloud-based city command system, which was needed to monitor a terrorist threat ahead of a major financial summit hosted in the city. The other team designed cyber disruption methods against the summit. Both sides presented their ideas to an assessment panel and were subjected to evaluation questions.
A Successful Endeavor
Student engagement was excellent throughout, and the university appreciated the IBM module delivery. One member of the university's academic staff commented:

The IBM team is looking forward to delivering the module again next year at the University of Warwick and is currently exploring how the content can be used more creatively and more widely with the goal of further boosting cyber skills availability.

On February 25 The Fray released a new album, entitled Helios. now i was busy at the time, so this news came as a joyful surprise since I couldn't be determinedly following the news of it at the time. Featuring the singles Hurricane and Love Don't Die, I listened to the album for the first time as soon as i had a chance.
The opening track, Hold My Hand, drew me in with both it's melody and it's lyrics. It was a wonderful opening, and lead straight into the second track, Love Don't Die. Love Don't Die has a stronger beat than melody in comparison to Hold My Hand. However, it does this in a way that perfectly completes the way that the lyrics are sang. The third track on the album, Give It Away, opens with an style reminiscent of 80's pop in away. That's the best way I can describe it, considering I don't listen to much from that time period. Overall it's a great song, and I enjoy listening to. It ends on a note that leads you ready to go into Closer To Me.
Upon reaching this fourth track, the album returns to the early melody driven songs. However, there are a myriad of differences between track four and track one, the most obvious being the way that the lyrics and melody blend into each other more in Closer To Me, whereas Hold My Hand makes a slight more distinction between the two. Track Five, Hurricane, makes a return to a slightly harder melody in comparison to the previous song. There is a stronger distinction between lyrical and melodic content, the instruments fading to give way to the vocals, and vice verse. Keep on Wanting has a softer feel to it in comparison to Hurricane. It holds its own after the fifth track though, blending together melody and lyrics over a strong beat, eventually letting all three blend together to highlight choir like background vocals.
Our Last Days holds the seventh slot on the album. In this track the album drifts away from the choir like voices of the previous song, and incorporates more orchestral instruments, including a stronger holding of the piano in the song, and a well placed violin, or some other string that's played with a bow. The vocals end up complimenting these beautifully, and the orchestral instruments don't take away from the guitars that can still be heard through the song. Track eight, Break Your Plans, has a slightly darker tone than previous tracks, and the main feature of the song is the vocals and lyrics, with the other instruments playing in the background, slowly building as the song goes on. The voice may carry the song, but the instruments drive it forward. Wherever This Goes makes a return to beat driven music, but the vocals are much stronger than the beat, introducing the melody of the song alongside of them.
The tenth track, Shadow and a Dancer, opens simply, but it builds second by second, creating a strength that Wherever This Goes didn't have. The longer the song played, the more that was introduced at the steady pace. However, it differs from the build up of break Your Plans, as in Shadow and a Dancer is quite vocally driven, carried by the complimenting music that builds in the background of the song. The final track, Same as You, makes a return to instrument driven, the opening seconds possessing an echoing drum sound, maintaining a strong start and fade as the vocals and guitars slowly introduce themselves, with the main focus becoming the vocals and lyrics. Towards the end, vocals and instruments begin to melt together, until it simply becomes one single, fading note. The song certainly completes the album, being neither too much nor too simple. All in all, Helios is a great album with a lot to offer.

Numbers 25 New King James Version (NKJV)
Israel's Harlotry in Moab
25 Now Israel remained in Acacia Grove,[a] and the people began to commit harlotry with the women of Moab. 2 They invited the people to the sacrifices of their gods, and the people ate and bowed down to their gods. 3 So Israel was joined to Baal of Peor, and the anger of the Lord was aroused against Israel.
4 Then the Lord said to Moses, "Take all the leaders of the people and hang the offenders before the Lord, out in the sun, that the fierce anger of the Lord may turn away from Israel."
5 So Moses said to the judges of Israel, "Every one of you kill his men who were joined to Baal of Peor."
6 And indeed, one of the children of Israel came and presented to his brethren a Midianite woman in the sight of Moses and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, who were weeping at the door of the tabernacle of meeting. 7 Now when Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose from among the congregation and took a javelin in his hand; 8 and he went after the man of Israel into the tent and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her body. So the plague was stopped among the children of Israel. 9 And those who died in the plague were twenty-four thousand.
10 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 11 "Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned back My wrath from the children of Israel, because he was zealous with My zeal among them, so that I did not consume the children of Israel in My zeal. 12 Therefore say, 'Behold, I give to him My covenant of peace; 13 and it shall be to him and his descendants after him a covenant of an everlasting priesthood, because he was zealous for his God, and made [b]atonement for the children of Israel.' "
14 Now the name of the Israelite who was killed, who was killed with the Midianite woman, was Zimri the son of Salu, a leader of a father's house among the Simeonites. 15 And the name of the Midianite woman who was killed was Cozbi the daughter of Zur; he was head of the people of a father's house in Midian.
16 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 17 "Harass the Midianites, and [c]attack them; 18 for they harassed you with their schemes[d] by which they seduced you in the matter of Peor and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of a leader of Midian, their sister, who was killed in the day of the plague because of Peor."

Prefishing and Planning
Prefishing is a pretty important part of any tournament plan. We don't always have time to prefish as much as we like so we need to make the best of each time we go out and what we find when we do. There are a lot of different thoughts about the best ways to go about this process so I am going to give you the process I go through and hopefully you can take something from it that makes you a better fisherman and improves your success.
Catching fish and refining patterns is important but I honestly think the more fish you catch prefishing sometimes you are really hurting yourself. You hear from guys at every tournament that they killed'em for the last two days prefishing then come weigh in the are middle of the pack or less in the standings, so you automatically assume they were lying. I would contend they educated the school of fish or stuck the easiest to catch making them more wary of baits or didn't adjust and change the bait up to give them something different than what they were educated to. If I catch the right size fish in an area I will leave it and start looking for similar areas. I want to catch a few fish but never more than one or two in an area. If you are catching small ones catch a few to see if something larger is around but don't hurt your tournament keepers. Go look for areas similar to that one or back up areas that fish may move into. Something a little deeper or shallower close by depending on the weather.
Fish lots of different kinds of structure, cover, and baits. Sometimes we get ourselves set into one way of fishing or a preconceived notion of what the fish are going to be doing and pigeon hole ourselves into one option and no back up plan. When prefishing do lots of different things and look for different ways to catch fish and be successful. I try to find fish in three different zones and techniques for each tournament and as close together as possible. Major runs are fine but try to keep them to start and finish where you can alternate patterns and find the best pattern for the day during your fishing day and stay with it and concentrate on catching that limit. Weather can always be a factor and tend to change the fishes mood from day to day even hour to hour, so have a back up plan. That way a major weather change gives you options that you have faith in and believe will work.
Research before you go the lake especially one you do not know as well. There are tons of websites out there that give you information or lake reports on different major lakes. See my lake section for possible sites for the different lakes. I keep a log of fish I catch and have binders with articles on the different lakes I fish tournaments on. I do drawings or areas and write in what I caught them on and why as well as weather and water conditions at the time. That helps me remember those little details when I go back to the lake again. I fish all over the midsouth and sometimes you memory gets a little foggy so a written record can be a big help two or three years down the road. If you can't draw it our photocopy a topo map of the area and draw in the details attaching it to a log similar to what you see below. Feel free to use mine. As the year goes by I am going to try to update this page with some of my prefish logs for you to look at and compare to see if helps you.
Planning is the next part to any successful tournament day. Below I have a fishing log that I will record my quality fish and maybe some smaller fish on if I feel they may be a key down the road. Feel free to print this out and use it in whatever way you see fit. I use it particularly in multi day prefishing scenarios to help with bail out plans etc. I can't always remember what conditions were on a particular day or may miss that little variance that can make the difference in a limit and a zero. This gives me a memory jogger if I get stuck or need a confidence boost. When I go to the lake I will record those fish caught or if only have a day to fish may see the lake conditions then go to my lake binder and look at what worked in the past. So record the catches and then on page 2 formulate how to start based against the weather and back up plans to give you some options. You should always fish in the moment and let the fish tell you what to do but sometimes you just need that little extra plan to give you the confidence to grind it out and keep working. Always remember it only takes the right 20 minutes to catch a tournament winning limit!
The last thing is CONFIDENCE. Keep searching til you find something that you are truly confident in. That to me is the absolute most important thing I can stress to you. I have been burnt more than once because I lost confidence in an area and bailed too quickly. I personally believe confidence is the absolute most important piece to fishing of any kind. Fish do bail from an area at times but most of the time they don't go too far and they have just changed their mood and you just have to go to a different technique to reactivate them. Think through the conditions and what has changed and adjust accordingly. It usually just means making a slight change to get them active and to react. Good luck and I hope you found this helpful.
Feel free to print this log sheet below and use it for your next trip or tournament. Let me know what you think and if you have any other suggestions. Also, if you have any trouble printing feel free to email me and I will be happy to email the PDF copy to as well. My email is firstname.lastname@example.com Also, indicate if you would like to be added to my mailing list for updates on the site and products being added to the site.

Upcoming INAV 1.6, and INAV Configurator 1.6 will bring many important changes. I will try to cover most of them in a next few days, beginning with Presets.
Because INAV can run very wide spectrum of aircrafts, it suffers a penalty of very general default values. Different frame sizes, propellers, multirotors, airplanes, flying wings. It is impossible to have one set of default values that will make all those different UAVs fly good right after flashing. And it's not only about PIDs. Also rates, filters and other settings differs between them. Good default tune for 5″ racer will not work on 1.2m flying wing or 1.6kg quadcopter on 12″ propellers.
To solve this problem, INAV Configurator 1.6 introduces new tab: Presets.
Presets tab allows to apply default settings designed for a specific type of UAV:
- 5″ Racer Quadcopter
- 10″ Propeller Multirotor
- 12″ Propeller Multirotor
- Generic airplane
- 600mm Flying Wing
Presets do not overwrite all settings. While filters or PIDs will change from preset to preset, Failsafe, Modes or Ports are never altered.
List of presets in Configurator 1.6 is not closed. New presets can be (and will be ) added to the list in the future.

CMI on TV – 'Game of Thrones' Throws King-Killing Curve
"Game of Thrones" fans know Jaime Lannister's (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) nickname – "king slayer." He earned a reputation as a dishonorable oath-breaker for killing the king he swore to protect. But not until this week's episode did they know why.
While sharing a bathtub with Brienne of Tarth (Gwendoline Christie) – awkward, but with minimal nudity – he tells the tale.
The king he served, Arys II, known as "The Mad King," loved wildfire – the hottest fire. This king "loved to watch people burn." Men tend to dislike such rulers, and sure enough, "before long, half the country was against him."
Since "traitors were everywhere," the king "made his pyromancer place caches all over the city."
Jaime opens the city doors, and his father Tywin (Charles Dance) storms in to conquer.
"Once again, I came to the king, begging him to surrender. He told me to bring him my father's head. Then he turned to his pyromancer.
"Burn them all, he said. Burn them in their homes. Burn them in their beds."
Then Jaime asks the fatal question. "If your precious Renly commanded you to kill your father, and stand by while thousands of men, women, and children burned alive, would you have done it? Would you have kept your oath then?"
This scene twists the entire show – making the villainous "king slayer" a hero. This oath-breaker turns out to be the savior of an entire city.

Fathom – Dead Logos
This past fall, I worked on the identity and branding for Fathom, a digital learning management system. The project was a great project to work on for several reasons, the most important being is that the owner/stakeholders chose a great name with a lot of allegorical meaning to it. The stakeholders also had a very clear idea of what they wanted and also had a minimal design sensibility. Overall the project was smooth and these are a few more of the half-cooked or not even fully thought out ideas that I thought would be fun to share.

Zimbabwe president Emmerson Mnangagwa makes Time's list of 100 most influential people
Zimbabwean president Emmerson Mnangagwa has made Time magazine's 100 Most Influential People 2018 list.
The annual list features some of the world's most significant artists, leaders, scientists, activists and entrepreneurs. They are are chosen by the editors with nominations coming from the list's alumni, the magazine's international writing staff and readers.
Mnangagwa took power after former president Robert Mugabe quit following a de facto military coup last November. He has vowed to hold 'credible' elections and turn around the southern African country's moribund economy.
Britain said on Friday it would strongly support Zimbabwe's re-entry to the Commonwealth and praised Mnangagwa for impressive progress since taking office. Zimbabwe left the organisation after Mugabe was criticised over disputed elections and land seizures from white farmers.
Mnangagwa is listed in the leaders category, with the write-up by activist Evan Mawarire about Mnangagwa, he said: "In his first 100 days, Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa spoke of re-engaging, forgiveness, democracy and unity. But though words matter, so does the survival of a system that destroyed the hopes and dreams of generations."
The only other African to make the list was US-based South African comedian Trevor Noah.
"He is uncannily skilled at holding up a mirror to whatever room he is in. Trevor is always reaching out: across cultures, continents and boundaries. He makes us laugh with each other and brings us that much closer to understanding one another," wrote Hollywood actress Lupita Nyong'o.

PITTSBURGH -- Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Casey DeSmith's impressive play has earned him a three-year contract extension.
The deal, announced Friday, begins in the 2019-2020 season and carries an average annual value of $1.25 million.
The 27-year-old DeSmith is 12-7-4 with a 2.47 goals-against average and a .924 save percentage for the Penguins. DeSmith began the season as the backup behind Matt Murray but played regularly during November and December while Murray dealt with a lower-body injury and inconsistent play.
General manager Jim Rutherford praised DeSmith for excelling under difficult circumstances. During a 12-start stretch from Nov. 21-Dec. 31, DeSmith went 8-3-1 to help the Penguins shake off a slow start to get back into the playoff picture in the crowded Metropolitan Division.
The signing also gives the Penguins stability in goal over the short term. Murray, a two-time Stanley Cup winner, is signed through the end of next season.

David Hammons: Bliz-aard Ball Sale, by Elena Filipovic. London: Afterall Books, 2017. 160 pages.
IN 1983, David Hammons held his Bliz-aard Ball Sale, which "probably didn't bear that title, or any title at all," as Elena Filipovic discloses in her amazing exposition on the artist's chill maneuvers. Meanwhile, six months or so later, at a coven sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts, Rosalind Krauss informed the assembled that sheand here Filipovic quotes Adrian Piper's writing on Krauss's decree"doubts there is any unrecognized African-American art of quality because if it didn't bring itself to her attention it probably didn't exist."
Let that cold open thaw for a minute.
Filipovic uses this anecdote to spell out Hammons's methods, his modes and haunts. Krauss, she writes, "clearly wasn't looking among the street sellers on the south-east corner of Cooper Square

Three-reel slots, often referred to as "traditional" or "classic" slots, were a staple of the casino gaming industry for a very long time. Due to advanced technology, however, video slots have taken over as the most predominant form of slot machines. It can be frustrating to a gambler when he or she finds his or her favorite classic reels slot has been removed from his or her favorite land-based casino. Thankfully, players can still find plenty of exciting three-reel slots at online casinos. Let's take a look at the 3 three-reel slots games that really set themselves apart from the others.
#3: Flea Market, Rival
When most people think of a three-reel slot, they think of the traditional symbols: bars, cherries, and sevens. How about wilds? That's right, in Flea Market there are wild symbols that make any win pay double (or quadruple if the wild appears twice). The diamond ring wild symbol does not appear often, but when it does, you can expect big bucks almost every time.
Aside from the use of the wild symbol that is normally only found in video slots, Flea Market also has a pleasantly immersive atmosphere. The game's theme is a pun on "Flea Market". The environment is literally a marketplace where fleas are buying and selling goods. Throughout the game, fleas jump across the screen waving their lollipops. Not only is this game unique in how it plays, but also in how entertaining it is just to watch.
Flea Market can be played at any Rival casino, such as Cocoa Casino. The software has plenty of other traditional three-reel slots, and they're all worth checking out, as well. Rival Casinos accept US players.
#2: Operation M.Y.O.W., RTG
The rules of almost all three-reel slot games are listed on the paytable, unable to be changed. Wouldn't it be nice if players could pick and choose how they wanted the game to pay out? Well, now they can with Operation M.Y.O.W. This Real Time Gaming classic slot machine is far from traditional. Players have five different paytables they can select from on this machine, each with its own flair.
Bat Cat, for instance, is perfect for players that want low-risk play, with any 2 cats or any 3 symbols paying 4 coins on a 3 coin bet. Players who want a more volatile rollercoaster experience can try Catzilla, the meanest cat of them all. To put this into perspective, the lowest win on Catzilla is 50 coins on a 3 coin bet! Between Bat Cat and Catzilla are three other games: The King, Lucky Cat, and Kung-Fu Kitty, each with their own unique twist on this decision-filled three-reel slot.
Operation M.Y.O.W. is available at all RTG casinos, so be sure to pick a reputable one to play with. We recommend High Noon Casino. This three-reel slot has something you just can't find anywhere else: choices. All RTG casinos accept US players.
#1: Double Dice, 3Dice
If there's one thing that online casinos have trouble doing, it's re-creating the land-based casino experience. 3Dice has successfully overcome that obstacle. With their chat, ambient sounds, and masterfully-crafted graphics, it truly feels like a brick-and-mortar establishment. This couldn't be truer of their most unique classic slot: Double Dice.
Double Dice is not a machine for the high roller. With a max bet of 50 cents, though, the game offers plenty of big winning opportunities. The theme of the game is riches. Symbols such as gold bricks, bags of money, and diamonds fill this 3x3 grid game. Unlike most three-reel slots, Double Dice has five paylines! The big wins come with the wild 3Dice symbols. These will substitute for any symbol to increase your chances of getting a win. The best thing about these wilds is their big payout if you get three on a payline. Three wilds on line 1 pays 1000 coins, line 2 pays 2000 coins, and so on until line 5. If you get 5 wilds on line 5, you win the progressive jackpot, which is often in the thousands of dollars. Not bad for just a 50 cent bet!
Double Dice is only available at 3Dice Casino, a highly reputable online casino that accepts US players. With such big opportunities to win in a welcoming environment, it's hard to pass Double Dice up.
